Police in the City of Buffalo have reportedly arrested a suspect for vandalizing a number of churches, citing "his anger with God." Authorities say that 30-year-old Wade Murray is suspected of breaking doors and stain glass windows at four churches and leaving inflammatory messages about religion and sexual orientation at 2 of them, along with two other church buildings in Buffalo. Murray reportedly told investigators he was angry because of personal issues, and did not have any political motivation.

The Republic of Ireland international is on a season-long loan at Brighton from Wolves and he has made 42 appearances for the Championship club.
Brighton are currently trying to tie up a play-off position and sit in sixth spot, one point ahead of Reading with three games remaining.
Ward's parent club Wolves will also be playing in the second tier next season after winning promotion from League 1 and the 28-year-old has put his future on hold.
"At the moment I am a Brighton player and that is all I am concentrating on," said left-back Ward.
"I am sure when the season ends I will know more about my future."

Enjoy – captions below. Normal rules.Tags: Barack Obama, caption contest, John Key
Not that I get a vote, but for the record if I was in the US, I would be voting Romney. Before I explain why, I want to touch on the record of both men.
Barack Obama
As President Barack Obama has performed pretty much as well as I expected – he had a total of two years experience as a junior senator before he started campaigning for President. It is no surprise at all with such a lack of experience, that he has failed to meet expectations of so many of his supporters.
That lack of experience is one of the reasons I said I preferred Hillary Clinton over Obama in 2008, and I note polls show she would win easily against Romney.
Now this isn't to say that Obama has been a bad President, more somewhat lackluster.
On foreign policy, I think Obama has been fine. He saw the withdrawal of combat troops from Iraq successfully (albeit on the timetable agreed to by Bush). The surge in Afghanistan was the right strategy, and while (like Iraq) the country they will leave behind is imperfect – it will be a lot better than it was.
Obama's intervention in Libya to protect civilians with a no fly zone, basically worked. Of course the later death of his Ambassador is a potential scandal that may claim some scalps.
And of course one has to give him credit for Osama bin Laden's death. It was a high risk mission that could have destroyed his presidency if it ended up a shambles. He trusted his military commanders and the special forces and his confidence was rewarded.
His decision to use a drone to kill to Anwar al-Aulaqi, a US citizen in Yemen, was controversial. It is the first ever extrajudicial execution of a US citizen ordered by a President.
With domestic policy the silly don't ask, don't tell policy ended and the world didn't end. But he had done almost nothing sensible on immigration reform, and the health reform was in fact little more than requiring poor people to have private health insurance. he doesn't have a very strong domestic legacy. One many issues he has lets the polls decide for him. In 1996 he was for same-sex marriage. In 1998 he was undecided. In 2004 he was against same-sex marriage. In 2012 he was back to being for same-sex marriage.
On the economy, this is where he has failed, and in fact his policies are a danger to the US and world economy. The US deficit and debt must be reined in, and Obama's policies of massively increasing spending are reckless. The Budget Control Act merely slows the rate of growth of debt, not reverses it. Federal spending is projected to continue to grow faster than the economy grows, and this is impossible to maintain. The US public debt grew by $1.9 trillion (think $6,300 per capita) in 2009 and $1.7 trillion in 2010.
So overall I think Obama has done pretty well on foreign policy, been average at best on domestic policy and bad on economic policy.
Mitt Romney
I thought Mitt Romney was a good Governor of Massachusetts, and he has a successful private sector career.
As Governor he passed health care legislation (not that different to Obama care), eliminated the state budget deficit and was pro-choice. Worth noting Romney got elected Governor by a 5% margin, despite every poll showing him behind the Democrat candidate.
As Governor he made many non-partisan appointments, and he also reduced the size of the state bureaucracy. He closed tax loopholes also. On the education side he funded the top 25% of high school students with tuition-free scholarships to public universities or colleges.
So I liked Governor Romney. Candidate Romney was a different case. He flip-flopped on so many issues.
He want from getting rid of ethanol subsidies, to supporting them in 2008 and then in 2012 against them. He went from supporting a cap and trade on carbon emissions to opposing them. he introduced individual health mandates, and then attacked Obama for them.
He did not support the Bush tax cuts, but now campaigns to keep them. His position on abortion has changed radically, as it has on stem cells.
For these reasons Romney was not my preferred candidate for the Republicans in 2008 or 2012. All politicians modify their positions to some degree. Obama certainly has. But Romney's changes have been so many and dramatic you wonder what he really believes.
Obama v Romney
As I said I don't think Obama has been a terrible President. For someone with just two years in the Senate (before near full-time campaigning) he has performed as about the level you'd expect. He's made some good calls in quite a few areas. He's failed to show leadership in quite a few also.
However his fiscal policy is dangerous and wrong. It is vital the US gets onto a path out of deficit. The deficit is massive. To break things down the US spends $121,000 a second. Of that $121,000 it borrows $52,000. This is so far living beyond the means, it is not funny.
Romney is a flip-flopper, and has said some silly things. but he does have a good proven record on financial management – both in government and the private sector. For that reason I would vote Romney. I seriously worry about the US economy with another four years of massive and growing deficits.
If Obama does get re-elected, his second-term performance on the economy will I believe form a large part of how history judges him.Tags: 2012 US Presidential election, Barack Obama, Mitt Romney
The Al Smith Dinner is a near-mandatory event in election years for presidential candidates. A white-tie fundraiser for Catholic charities in New York, the tone of the evening is light-hearted. Both Obama and Romney were in fine form.
Here Obama's transcript. Some of my favourite lines:
Everyone please take your seats otherwise Clint Eastwood will yell at them. …
This is the third time that Governor Romney have met recently. As some of you may have noticed, I had a lot more energy in our second debate. I felt really well rested after the nice long nap I had in the first debate.
Although it turns millions of Americans focused in on the second debate who didn't focus in on the first debate and I happen to be one of them. I particularly want to apologize to Chris Matthews. Four years ago, I gave him a thrill up his leg; this time around, I gave him a stroke.
Of course, there's a lot of things I learned from that experience, for example, I learned that there are worse things that can happen to you on your anniversary than forgetting to buy a gift.
Heh, killer line.
I'm still making the most of my time in the city. Earlier today I went shopping at some stores in Midtown. I understand Governor Romney went shopping for some stores in Midtown.
Also heh.
And I have to admit, it can be a grind. Sometimes it feels like this race has dragged on forever, but Paul Ryan assured me that we've only been running for two hours and fifty something minutes. …
Ultimately, though, tonight's not about the disagreements Governor Romney and I may have. It's what we have in common, beginning with our unusual names. Actually Mitt is his middle name, I wish I could use my middle name.
Of course, world affairs are a challenge for every candidate. After — some of you guys remember — after my foreign trip in 2008, I was attacked as a celebrity because I was so popular with our allies overseas. And I have to say I'm impressed with how well Governor Romney has avoided that problem.
I love humourous attack lines.
And Romney:
Now Al, you were right, a campaign can require a lot of wardrobe changes. We — blue jeans in the morning perhaps, suits for a lunch fundraiser, sport coat for dinner, but it's nice to finally relax and to wear what Ann and I wear around the house.
Superb – confronts the out of touch meme with humour.
Campaigns can be grueling, exhausting. President Obama and are each very lucky to have one person who is always in our corner, someone who we can lean on, and someone who is a comforting presence. Without whom, we wouldn't be able to go another day. I have my beautiful wife Ann, he has Bill Clinton.
Of course the president has put his own stamp on relations with the church. There have been some awkward moments. Like when the president pulled Pope Benedict aside to share some advice on how to deal with his critics. He said, "Look Holy Father, whatever the problem is, just blame it on Pope John Paul II."
Heh.Tags: 2012 US Presidential election, Barack Obama, Mitt Romney
An important rule in politics is to attack your opponent and their policies, but never to attack their voters. Mitt Romney broke this rule with his comments on how 47% of Americans will vote for Obama as they don't pay income tax.
He is not the first major politician to say something at what he thought was a private meeting, and have it bite him. Obama himself in 2008 said that those who don't support him tend to "cling to their guns or religion". However his phrasing was not as harmful as Romney's.
Romney always needed a strong campaign to win. He hasn't had one and time is running out.
538 has Obama at 75% likely to win. Intrade now has him at 67%, which is a significant increase. For the first time also, the market has the Democrats favoured to retain control of the Senate.
It would be very hard for the Republicans to lose the House, so at this stage the most likely outcome is the status quo.Tags: 2012 US Presidential election, Barack Obama, Mitt Romney
Stuff reports:
An Israeli newspaper is reporting the Obama administration's top security official has briefed Israel on US plans for a possible attack on Iran, seeking to reassure it that Washington is prepared to act militarily should diplomacy and sanctions fail to pressure Tehran to abandon its nuclear enrichment programme.
But a senior Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential talks, said the article in the Haaretz daily was incorrect.
Allowing Iran to gain nuclear weapons is unthinkable, especially as their President has vowed to destroy Israel so many times. Likewise, an attack on Iran is almost unthinkable, as it would destabilise the region, undermine the pro-democratic forces in Iran, and entrench the current leadership.
I do wonder about how it would play domestically in the US though. Would an attack by Obama in election year help in the polls by making him look willing to take the hard decisions? Romney could not attack him, if Obama does strike to remove Iran's nuclear capability.Tags: Barack Obama, Iran
A big relief for Obama today. Reuters reports:
The US Supreme Court has upheld President Barack Obama's healthcare law in an election-year triumph for him and fellow Democrats and a stinging setback for Republican opponents of the most sweeping overhaul of the unwieldy US healthcare system in about a half century.
In a 5-4 ruling based on the power of Congress to impose taxes, the court preserved the law's "individual mandate" requiring that most Americans obtain health insurance by 2014 or pay a tax.
Opponents of the law had argued the mandate was an overreach by the federal government into the private lives of citizens. The court was deeply divided on this issue, but the majority ruled that Congress' taxing power was more important.
The law's "requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may reasonably be characterized as a tax," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court's majority.
"Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness," wrote Roberts, who was joined by the four most liberal members – Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor – in upholding the law's key provision.
Very interesting that the Chief Justice voted with the liberal wing.
This is definitely good news for Obama. Having his major domestic achievement thrown out would have meant he would have very little domestic achievements to campaign on.
However I do find it hilarious that the left celebrate Obamacare as a huge victory for socialised medicine and the like. If a Republican President had proposed the key tenet of Obamacare, I suspect it would be decried around the world as vicitimising the poor.
You see Obama failed to get a law through which set up taxpayer funded healthcare as in the UK, Canada and New Zealand.
What he passed was basically a law saying it is illegal not to have private health insurance and we will fine you, if you don't get some. Someone on Twitter said:
Oh no, poor people will get proper health care and avoid dying earlier?
Which I thought demonstrated they had no idea what the law actually does. The individual mandate does not extend health care to poor people. It fines poor people for not having health insurance.Tags: Barack Obama
Reuters reports:
Equivocal no longer, US President Barack Obama has declared his support for gay marriage in a historic announcement that instantly elevated a polarising social issue to a more prominent role in the 2012 race for the White House.
On a personal level, its good to see Obama to have the guts to say what I suspect has been his actual position for a long time. It is a position I agree with (except I would probably not have the state involved in marriage at all, and just have the state register partnerships and allow people to call it a marriage if they want to, under whatever religion they may follow).
What is interesting is the potential political impact of Obama's announcement. The US is split around 50/50 on this issue, but those against are vehemently against and will be highly motivated to turn out and vote if the election is pitched as a referendum on the gay marriage issue.
Of course it is in fact a decision for states, not the Federal Government, but Presidents appoint judges who rle on the constitutionality of various laws for and against gay marriage.
But Obama has the future on his side. He noted:
Obama touched on that in the interview.
He said he sometimes talks with college Republicans on his visits to campuses, and while they oppose his policies on the economy and foreign policy, "when it comes to same sex equality, or, you know, sexual orientation, that they believe in equality. They are more comfortable with it."
There is a huge difference of views on issues such as gay marriage and gay adoption by age. Under 30s tend to be massively in favour and over 60s massively opposed. That indicates that with the passage of time, there will be a clear majority in favour. But that may not be the case in 2012.
So a bold risk for Obama to announce this in election year, and I await with interest to see how it impacts the US elections.Tags: Barack Obama, gay marriage
Rick Santorum has suspended his presidential bid, which effectively confirms former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney as the Republican nominee.
Romney has around 60% of the delegates he needs, but should comfortably win enough in the remaining primaries.
It will be interesting to see if the GOP is able to unite behind Romney. Obama is the favourite at this stage – 61% on Intrade, against 37% for Romney. However the Republicans should now start to target Obama rather than each other.
The Pollster average of the polls has Obama at 46.1% and Romney 44.5%, so the race is definitely competitive. Of course it is electoral college votes that count, not the popular vote, but the two are linked.
Also at this stage the Republicans are favoured to retain the House and gain a majority in the Senate, so if Romney can win, he will probably have a supportive Congress.Tags: 2012 US Presidential election, Barack Obama, Mitt Romney
The Herald reports:
President Barack Obama is calling anew on Congress to end tax subsidies for the oil and gas industry, saying America needs to develop alternative sources of energy in the face of rising petrol prices.
Obama said in his weekly radio and internet address that he expected Congress to consider in the next few weeks halting US$4 billion ($4.85 billion) in tax subsidies, something he hasn't been able to get through Congress throughout his presidency. …
Industry officials and many Republicans in Congress have argued that cutting the tax breaks would lead to higher petrol prices, raising costs on oil companies and affecting their investments in exploration and production.
Obama is on the right side of this one. Just as I am against subsidies for bio-fuels (especially as they caused mass starvation with crops being converted to bio-fuels from grain), I am against subsidies for oil.
We should not shelter people from higher petrol prices. That is a market signal that supply is becoming more difficult, and will encourage investment in other technologies, plus encourage greater use of other forms of transport.
As for investments in exploration and production, you do not need subsidies for that. As petrol prices increase, then exploration of new reserves becomes economically viable.Tags: Barack Obama, oil
Trevor Loudon blogs:
Thanks to the Tea Party, several radio interviews and a great plug from Glenn Beck, my book "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within" has jumped up to number 87 on Amazon (out of 600,000 titles).
Off to a good start. Hopefully we can maintain the momentum.
Making the top 100 on Amazon is a huge feat, especially for a Kiwi author. Of course the book is not on NZ politics, but US politics or specifically on Obama.
Having said that, I am very unenthused about the 2012 presidential election. I'd almost vote for Obama over Romney. Huntsman would be great, but he has little chance of winning the nomination.Tags: Barack Obama, Trevor Loudon
It is becoming obvious that the last two weeks of the campaign are going to be non stop attacks on John Key. 3 News reports:
Labour leader Phil Goff says United States President Barack Obama is a great leader whereas Prime Minister John Key is a poor leader despite both nations having high unemployment and receiving credit downgrades since both leaders took office.
Unemployment in New Zealand has doubled and our credit rating has been downgraded twice by Standard and Poors since 2008.
The United States' unemployment has also doubled since before the global financial crisis and they have received a credit downgrade too.
Mr Goff told Firstline this morning that President Obama and Mr Key are incomparable because they inherited different fiscal situations.
From the Wall Street Journal.
These are not of course all Obama's fault. But it shows the challenge he will face with re-election. At present his best advantage is the comparative weakness of the Republican contenders.Tags: Barack Obama

Texas Governor Rick Perry could well win the Republican nomination. Already former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has pulled out after a poor showing in Ohio.
The Atlantic looks at Perry and Obama on jobs:
If Texas Governor Rick Perry is the Republican nominee for president, the 2012 election will have a striking parallelism. President Obama would ask voters to overlook a bad national economy for which he's not fully responsible. The Republican challenger would ask voters to credit him for an impressive state economy for which he is also not fully responsible.
There are two themes here. One is that the likelihood of a politician to take ownership over an economy is directly proportional to the health of the economy. The other lesson is that even as political leaders can try to guide an economy, they are ultimately victims, or beneficiaries, of its underlying fundamentals.
The Texas miracle is, like so many miraculous things, complicated upon closer inspection. Texas accounted for 40 percent of the nation's new jobs since June 2009. This impressive statistic is the result of geology, geography, history, and politics.
Texas is only 8% of the US population, so 40% of new jobs is an impressive figure.
Texanomics is well-suited to a recession stemming from a financial crisis. When consumers' balance sheets are hurting, they seek out low cost-of-living. That's Texas. When companies don't have access to credit, they hire cheaper labor. Texas again. When young couples look to start a family, they're drawn to affordable housing, nice weather, and industries that hire: Energy and aerospace in Houston, health care and military in San Antonio, tech and education in Austin, and communications and more energy Dallas.
And the politics:
That the stimulus was a PR-failure says more about the strength of the downturn than the weakness of the administration. But that's an economist's distinction, not a campaign platform. The president's message to voters asks them to see the successes of his policies by imagining how bad things would be without them. In a rotten economy, Obama has to run on a hypothetical. The governor's economic message is simpler. It's reality. It's "Look at Texas." Perry isn't entirely responsible for the state's economic record. But he's a record worth claiming.
Perry is at 39% to win the Republican nomination on In Trade. Next is Romney on 32%.
Obama's price for re-election is at 52%, down from 56% a few weeks ago.Tags: Barack Obama, Rick Perry
The more I read about the Osama operation, the more you realise what a risk it was. This wasn't some dumb luck, or bombs hitting the right place. It is a story of intelligence agencies piecing together a puzzle over many months, and then havign enough trust in the intelligence, but also the SEALs, to send a team in. If the mission had turned out the same as Jimmy Carter's helicopters in Iran, then Obama would probably be joining Carter as a one term President.
But the mission was flawless – no soldiers dead, no civilians dead, no neighbour destroyed etc.
Now this will not guarantee Obama is re-elected, but it sure will give his poll numbers a boost for a fair while. And it will pretty much permamently put heed to any notion of him not being tough enough on the war on terror.
Nate Silver blogs:
Historically, the correlation between a president's overall approval rating and his rating on foreign affairs is stronger than is the case with his rating on the economy. If you place the two variables into a regression equation, it finds that foreign affairs is the more important component, although both are clearly statistically significant.
That is a surprise, as common wisdom is economic issues trump everything.
Unless the economic indicators significantly outperform consensus expectations, the election is still liable to be fairly close, with Mr. Obama hardly assured of coming out on top.
I think one of the boggest factors will be the quality of the Republican candidate also. Donald Trump is threatening to turn the race into a joke.Tags: Barack Obama
President Obama about to hold a press conference. Have heard a rumour he will announce that Osama bin Laden is dead. Will find out in a few minutes.
1440: Obama yet to speak, but the Osama speculation is now widespread and being reported. A good day for mankind, so to speak. Not the end of terrorism, but a major blow. Yay. Obama now expected on at 1450 NZST.
1443: Seems the US has his body. I guess this means Donald Trump won't demand a copy of the long form death certificate
1510: It seems he was killed in Pakistan, not far from the capital. No statement yet.
1536: It's now official, with Obama making his statement. I wonder if the delay was teleprompter broke down
More seriously while this is news that will be welcomed by hudnreds of millions, my thoughts are with the families of the 9/11 victims. For them, this is more personal. Today is the equivalent of having the guy who killed your Mum or Dad sent to prison for life. The guy primarily responsible for their deaths is no longer a threat to anyone else.
1539: The operation was only launched today on Obama's orders. No US deaths and they got Bin Laden's body. Obama is about to shoot up in the polls. He is no Jimmy Carter.Tags: Barack Obama, osama bin laden

Responding to critics' relentless claims, US President Barack Obama has produced a detailed Hawaii birth certificate in an extraordinary attempt to bury the issue of where he was born and confirm his legitimacy to hold office. He declared, "We do not have time for this kind of silliness."
By going on national TV from the White House on Wednesday (local time), Obama portrayed himself as a voice of reason amid a loud, lingering debate on his birth status. Though his personal attention to the issue elevated it as never before, Obama said to Republican detractors and the media, it is time to move on to bigger issues.
Maybe now people will STFU on this issue. It has been the right wing equivalent of the 9/11 conspiracy theorists on the left.
I suspect Obama finally released his long form record as Donald Trump has started championing the birthers claims.Tags: Barack Obama
The Republican Presidential Primaries will be held in early 2012, and there is huge jockeying for position already. Obama has relatively low approval ratings but nearly two years out from the presidential election these count for little.
In 1982 Ronald Reagan, now considered one of the most popular politician of all time, faced a tough economy and a democrat controlled congress. As the chart below from USA Today shows, Obama is clearly ahead of where Reagan was at the same time in his presidency.
This is a fascinating tracker poll. You can track any president against any other using the compare chart.
Tracker polls like this are interesting because they point to historical precedent. So when the media start talking about low approval ratings for Obama it pays to be skeptical as to how much influence this has on his reelection campaign.
Also worth noting that Obama's approval is on the rise.Tags: Barack Obama
Obama has done exactly what he needed after the mid-term drubbing, and chalked up some wins. And he has done it by going both right and left. His three major victories are:
It's a nice combination of something for everyone. Almost all Americans like treaties which reduce the number of nuclear weapons. Those sympathethic to the tea party movement will like the tax cuts and the liberals will hail the repeal of DADT.
His net approval rating is now just a -2% average.
The Republican's main problem is finding the right challenger. A generic GOP candidate out polls Obama, but the moment you put a name in there, Obama leads. This article divideds up the potential candidates as being populists or managers. Populists include Palin, Huckabee, and Perry, Managers are Romney, Daniels, Barbour with Gingrich and Pawlenty (my pick) being a bit of both.
A recent poll has Obama vs Palin being a 54% to 39% landslide for Obama. If Bloomberg enters the race as an independent, then it is 47% to 31% to 18%.
Another poll has Obama beating Romey 47% to 40%.
The net favourability ratings for Obama and the three leading Republicans are:
So Huckabee has some popularity, and is a rare person who can rally the christian base without scaring off liberals. However fiscal conservatives do not trust him, and hard to see the tea party rallying behind him.
If the economy picks up in time for 2012, Obama will be hard to defeat – unless the Republicans can find a candidate who appeals to both their religious and fiscal conservative wings – but also does not scare off independents and moderates.Tags: Barack Obama, United States
This week Obama stuck a deal with Republicans which sees him try to revive the US economy with tax cuts instead of extra spending. Labour in NZ should take note. Obama has agreed to:
It will be interesting to observe the President's poll ratings in the next month.Tags: Barack Obama, tax cuts
Barack Obama established a National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform to come up with ways to reduce the huge fiscal deficit. They have 18 members – 10 Democrats and 8 Republicans on it.
So what has this bipartisan group recommended:
This would achieve $4 trillion in deficit reduction by 2020, reduce the deficit to 2.2% of GDP by 2015 and caps revenue at 21% of GDP (note NZ is well over 30%).
Obama, to his credit, has not rejected it. Sadly Congressional Democrats look likely to – which will impose future generations with horrific levels of debt and interest on the debt.
The situation in NZ is not so dire, but we still need bold measures to stop borrowing $250 million a week.Tags: Barack Obama, deficit, United States
This is very enjoyable. It's pro-Obama, but done in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan.Tags: Barack Obama, Gilbert & Sullivan, Humour, You Tube
Yahoo News reports:
A federal judge issued a worldwide injunction Tuesday immediately stopping enforcement of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, suspending the 17-year-old ban on openly gay U.S. troops.
U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips' landmark ruling also ordered the government to suspend and discontinue all pending discharge proceedings and investigations under the policy. …
the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay rights organization that filed the lawsuit in 2004 to stop the ban's enforcement.
So who would have thought that Don't Ask Don't Tell would not be killed off by Obama (who had promised to do so), but instead by the Log Cabin Republicans.Tags: Barack Obama, Republicans
18 months into the first terms, the presidential approval ratings for various Presidents was:
Reagan, Clinton and Truman all went on to win another term, so maybe Obama is following their strategy of not peaking too early!Tags: Barack Obama, United States
The Herald reports:
A senior member of the Obama Administration has praised the Prime Minister as a "key player" on the international stage, who has developed a "real chemistry" with the US President. …
Speaking at a seminar on United States-New Zealand relations in Washington, Dr Campbell said Mr Key had "animated the discussions" and "drove the deliberations" at the President's Nuclear Summit in April.
Labour, and many in the wider left, have been underestimating John Key for years and years, and still do so. This is partly why they lost the 2008 election – they were convinced Clark would destroy Key in the debates.
Even today they have their fantasies that he is some sort of smile and wave lightweight, whose only asset is his smile. And you compare that to Campbell's assessment that Key drove deliberations at the US convened nuclear summit.
Dr Campbell said the Obama Administration had at first considered the US-NZ relationship was "profoundly underperforming".
The change of regime in both counties has probably helpedTags: Barack Obama, John Key, Kurt Campbell, United States

FTR my lineup was sans-Connolly as he would more than likely be going the other way for Bernier if it were to happen.
I know there are a few rookies in there too but its different - they're not 18 year olds being tossed into the lineup, one (Killorn) will be 23 by season start, Brown is 21 or 22 and both have spent plenty of time in a far more physical league so they can handle themselves plenty. Cons is, what, 24(?) and has been holding his own in the A.

Vermont Chalet Rentals with Hot Tub(60)

Recent Vermont Reviews
My family and I had a great time! We had plenty of bedroom space, lots of bathrooms, large living room space, and a great kitchen! We stayed at another place last year in Killington and we somewhat had the space but certainly not enough bathrooms and we paid the SAME PRICE!! This house was a better deal for what you get! Plus you can walk right next door to this great pizza place and the kids and guys loved it! We thought we would have to drive everywhere, like last year, but this house is SO close to everything!!! It's literally right off the access road! We took the shuttle bus every time we went to ski and the bus stop is right next door too! We're definitely renting this house next year!!!
Great vacation
We found the house very well equipped for a relaxing vacation. Everything was very clean and comfortable, all small details taken into consideration. Kitchen has everything needed for cooking even elaborate meals. Beds are very comfortable. The floor plan of the house works well for several families, as it provides full privacy. The deck is wonderful for having family meals, and is equipped with high-end grill. It's not recommended to let small kids run around on it though, as it is not child proof. The wireless internet, high end TVs, and blue rays are a very nice touches. What impressed me most that every single room has it's own thermostat! Not that we needed heat in August, but it would be very convenient in the winter! We also enjoyed using the club house, which has indoor and outdoor heated pools, billiard room, kids room with many toys and games, and even a piano. It also has gas and charcoal grills for everybody to use. There are many recreational attractions in the area, including fishing, hiking, boating, petting zoos, etc. Town of Bennington only 30 min from the property provides some historical attractions and good museums. The owner, Irene, is very easy going and easy to deal with. Everything was very well organized and coordinated. The instructions in the welcome doc had a lot of useful details, and even recommendations for the local restaurants. Overall we enjoyed our stay in this property and would like to come back next year. It's recommended to have a 4 wheel drive if coming in winter time.
A wonderful getaway
Still vacationing but had to take time to write a review of our stay so far. The owner, Tom, has been nothing but responsive from day one. The house is perfect for all. I am vacationing with my senior parents, family friend, my cat and dog and this house has met all of our very different needs. Great open layout, nicely stocked cabinets, clean, beautiful views from the deck, 45 second walk to the lake, down a lovely path and a less than 5 minute walk to the Belmont General store which I am quite impressed with how many items they carry despite its small size. They even have a nice little wine selection. The house is situated open enough that you don't feel stranded but private enough that my dog can safely roam, although she typically heads straight to the lake. This house is perfect for those with mobility issues due to the open layout and 4 small steps to get in the house and unloading the car is easy with the private driveway right next to the door. The actual open area by the lake is small but perfect to fit chairs and get the boat and kayak in and out of the water, and really with all that lake how much open land area do you need? There is a nice yard by the house perfect for outdoor activities and you still have lake views. The basement is great for kids and adults alike, however we have been fortunate with beautiful weather so we have been spending all of our time outside when we are not out sight seeing. Location is great with Weston, Ludlow, Rutland, Woodstock and Manchester all less than an hour drive. We have been enjoying breakfast and dinners on the deck and during the warm afternoons have been out by or on the lake. Still hoping to have a camp fire by the lake, just haven't had time so far . This is my first stay in Vermont and it has been lovely and this house has made it perfect. House has wifi which has come in handy since cell service is limited but a daily walk to town allows me to check in for messages and really, while on vacation that is more than enough. I would definitely recommend this house for families (only thing is if you have little ones bring 2 gates for the deck because there are stairs), couples, seniors or a girls get away. The only thing in my opinion that is missing is a hammock for afternoon naps outside. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing and hope I am fortunate to come back next year. And yes, the drinking water is great. Thanks Tom for a wonderful stay at your lovely home. Wish we were staying longer.

Three-dimensional discrete cosine transform (3-D DCT) coding has the advantage of reducing the interframe redundancy among a number of consecutive frames, while the motion compensation technique can only reduce the redundancy of at most two frames. However, the performance of the 3-D DCT coding will be degraded for complex scenes with a greater amount of motion. This paper presents a 3-D DCT coding with a variable temporal length that is determined by the scene change detector. Our idea is to let the motion activity in each block be very low, while the efficiency of the 3-D DCT coding could be increased. Experimental results show that this technique is indeed very efficient. The present approach has substantial improvement over the conventional fixed-length 3-D DCT coding and is also better than that of the Moving Picture Expert Group (MPEG) coding

Bible Study - The Cross
Wednesdays - 6:40 - 7:45 pm
Facilitator: Rev Fred Eichner
A study of this incredible subject that is central to the Christian Faith. We're examining the topic in an effort to confirm why a Theology of the Cross is so important to our beliefs.

A few of the subjects being discussed:
Centrality of the Cross (Isaiah)
Why did Christ die? (Matthew)
The Cross in Forgiveness (Romans)
What is meant by "Satisfaction," Ransom, Justification?
How is the Cross the conquest of Evil?
As always, ALL participants are welcome. We've just begun so there is still time to join the group.
Each session stands alone so you can join us now.

The Mind Body Complex
Proposes that the mind consciousness system can be simplified into 4 branches or perspectives of law: social constructivism, neo-realism, positivism and naturalism. Information Systems Design. The Philosophy of praxis. The nature of reality. Art, research, education, activism.
The goal here is to bridge the gap between ontology and epistemology, as well as universality and particularity(ies). Ontology as in metaphysics or "what is" which explains the existence of entity and epistemology as in "how or what" which speaks to the theory of knowledge. This philosophy examines the nature of reality (using objectivism as a primer, gateway or trajectory); thus narrowing the gap between perception and experience.
Objectivism is a major principle of qualitative research and also a tenet of the posivitist model, which sugests that knowledge relies on observations and events. Objectivism relies heavily on sense data. Ayn Rand was the pioneer in the 50's. From this, came a majority of the 60's-70's movements like flower-power, consciousness expansion, the Black panthers and the theater of the absurd etc. The term of objectivism was coined by Ayn Rand and rests on the "benevolent universe premise" that the mind does not create reality but bumps into it instead. This means that there are many possibilities and or experiences that do exist in this universe (whether we are aware of them or not). Other philosophers that are on par with this logic include Ayn Rand, David Hume, Martha Nussbaum and Bertrand Russell. This branch of technical philosophy made its way into academia during 1980's and philosophy buffs have continued to shed their perspective. The branches of objectivism are known as: reality, reason, ethics or self-interest, politics and aesthetics.
"Aptitude is not nearly as important as attitude since it is the disposition that informs our immediate actions and
behaviors." Unknown
No matter what corruption one observes in one's immediate background, one is unable to accept it as normal, permanent or metaphysically right. One feels: "This injustice (or terror or falsehood or frustration or pain or agony) is the exception in life, not the rule." One feels certain that somewhere on earth-even if not anywhere in one's surroundings or within one's reach-a proper, human way of life is possible to human beings, and justice matters. Continued
Methods of Contemplation (2-4 Proofs for Grounds of Assertion). These could probably be simplified into 2 since social constructivism and neo realism have stark similarities, as well as positivism and naturalism but...
1. Social constructivism recognizes truth as existing within the context of history, culture or experience. Our understanding of the truth is getting a bit wider than what was originally thought. Learning is a result of a social process. Enculturation. Continuous acquisition. This begins to segeway into perennialism, mysticism and existentialism. Nevertheless, since human nature is constant, we as sentient beings should continue to learn about the world's immutable state through a formalized or even a ratified means like art, research, education, activism. It's all about real estate.
Location, location, location.
Terrence McKenna (psychonaut) on the Shamanic or psychedelic dimension, ethnobotany.
Michel Foucault on disciplinary society, the panopticon (psyche wards and prisons).
Angela Davis of the Black Panther Party on African American resistance in the United States (Black consciousness studies).
Sri Yukteswar on the holy science of yoga and self realization.
*Oftentimes the cultural perimeters determine how a person comes into their own narrative truth. In other words, you really have to have a first hand experience with this thing. Moving forward.
a) Race, culture and or appropriation
Shakespeare in the Bush An American anthropologist set out to study the Tiv of West Africa and receives a different spin on the play Hamlet. Everyone else in the world must or should interpret experiences exactly as we do. Naiive realism. This is where cross cultural perspective comes in.
Swastika in Japan An auspicious symbol of luck, well-being which is most frequently associated with temples and shrines in the East; Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainismthey are born to or marry. Lower, middle, upper class with sub-classifications such as the occupational class.
b) Class
Acquired vs achieved status
People can be positioned in the structure of social stratification based on individual merits, as well as, who Lower-upper class refers to "new money" which was made from ground up business ventures, for example. The organized life.
c) Gender
More than xx or xy
The traditional model for biology is based on how one is born ie girl (presumably) but the transgender collective is gaining enormous biological footing and traction through the effects of BPA products, for example. Gender tends to cover an enormous spectrum of expressive traits ranging from masculine to feminine. These may or may not be related to identity or sex let alone sexual orientation, which is yet another matter.
2. Neo realism suggests that reality is external; therefore it can be modeled particularly after an "anthropogenic" event such as war.
a) A most prominent example is American life before and after the Cold War (an ideological war; no weapons were used in this the conflict).
American Life
b) The Fall of the Berlin Wall. This is an example how very well educated people like doctors and lawyers suddenly had to become aquainted with points of view, conflict resolution, survival of the fittest, state elections, as well as, other logistics of a democracy. "Law of the jungle."
Post Berlin Wall
3. Positivism relies on mechanical or sensory data exclusively. If you cannot see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, feel it or touch it; then it doesn't exist. ie. Empiricism. Tautology. Superfluity.
Perception Theories
4. Naturalism (also known as direct realism) is on par with the "WYSIWYG" acronym. There is nothing more to the eye.

For Neal Gibbs, retirement launched a new focus on instilling leadership qualities in middle school students.
Born in Brooklyn, and raised in North Carolina, a 27-year career in the Army brought Gibbs to Fort Knox. He was a 19 Delta Calvary Scout and retired as a first sergeant.
Gibbs, 47, was preparing to retire from the Army while substitute teaching when a position teaching Junior Leadership Corps classes at North Middle School was created. The job, he said, sounded right up his alley.
Even as he served in the Army, Gary Miles knew when he retired he would want to "continue to serve in some capacity."
Miles fulfilled that goal by becoming executive director of Feeding America, Kentucky's Heartland and joining the Elizabethtown Lions Club, where he became president last year.
It has been about 15 years since Miles retired from the military, where he served as an administrator and comptroller. He has been with Feeding America, Kentucky's Heartland ever since.
Among his accomplishments, Elizabethtown Community and Technical College instructor Jeff Rivera can claim providing inspiration to students in the areas of electrical, science and robotics, and building a working hovercraft.
Taking a fall can be scary at any age, but for senior adults a fall can lead to serious and sometimes devastating consequences. Falls are the leading cause of death from unintentional injuries among older adults and the leading cause of traumatic brain injury among Kentucky residents age 65 and older.
Where I lived as a child, life always seemed boring. Sound familiar parents of youngsters in Hardin County?
But now at 54 years of age and thankful to wake up every morning to meet a new day, I am filled with memories from growing up in that "boring'' town that left an indelible mark on my life and still leaves a smile on my face and in my mind.
An important training adage is, "People perform as they train." Training of skills is very important for any performance whether they are physical or mental skills.

This is the season of the year more people pay attention to the horse world. The Triple Crown of horse racing has just been completed and lots of people paid attention.
However, the focus of this article is about another type of spectacular horse. Recently, I had the opportunity to be up close and personal with the Anheuser-Busch Budweiser Clydesdales at Grants Farm in St. Louis. Grants Farm is part of the Busch estate and has housed their Clydesdales since 1954.

The yard man looks a little like Frankenstein's monster, with his hulky body and flat-top haircut. Of course he's more handsome. The old man sizes him up, invites him to tea, is friendly: "Feel free to use the pool. We're quite informal here -- no need to use a bathing suit." We are listening to the last hopeful sigh of a dying romantic, an aging homosexual who is still cheered by the presence of beauty.
"Gods and Monsters" is a speculation about the last days of the director James Whale, who was open about his sexuality in an era when most homosexuals in Hollywood stayed prudently in the closet. Whale (1889-1957) directed some 21 films, but is best remembered for seven made between 1931 and 1939: "Frankenstein," "The Old Dark House," "The Invisible Man," "Bride of Frankenstein," "Show Boat," "The Great Garrick" and " The Man in the Iron Mask." At the time of his death he had not made a movie in 16 years, but still lived comfortably, dabbling at a little painting and a little lusting.
He made some good movies ("Frankenstein" placed 87th on the American Film Institute's list of great American films, although "The Bride of Frankenstein" is by far the better of the two pictures). He began as an actor, lost his first love in World War I and joined the exodus to Hollywood, where he made a lot of money and never quite realized his potential. He must have seemed an attractive challenge to Ian McKellen, the gifted British Shakespearean who in this film and "Apt Pupil" is belatedly flourishing in the movies after much distinction on the stage.
McKellen playing Whale makes sense, but is it ideal casting to use Brendan Fraser ("George Of The Jungle") as Clayton Boone, the young man who comes to cut the grass? Fraser is subtle and attuned to the role, but doesn't project strong sexuality; shouldn't the yard man be not simply attractive but potentially exciting to the old man? We never ever believe there's a possibility that anything physical will occur between them--and we should, I think.
Of course, Whale's ambitions in that direction are mostly daydreams, and finally he's more interested in simply regarding the young man. He asks Clayton to be his artist's model, a request which essentially translates as, "Will you take off your clothes and stand there while I look at you?"
Clayton is slow to understand that Whale is gay. Well, in 1957, a lot of people might not have understood. When he figures it out, he isn't angered and there's no painful and predictable scene of violence. Instead, the film proceeds on a bittersweet course in which a young and not terribly bright man grows to like an old and very intelligent man, and to pity him a little. The film is a biopic leading toward a graceful elegy.
Similar material was dealt with earlier this year in "Love and Death on Long Island," starring John Hurt as an aging British writer who develops a crush on an American teen heartthrob (Jason Priestley). That was a funnier movie, and also more elusive, since the Hurt character is not an active homosexual (indeed, hardly seems sexual at all) and hardly understands the nature of his own obsession. Levels of irony were possible. In "Gods and Monsters," on the other hand, both the director and the yard man are pretty much kept at the service of the film's sentimental vision.
Directed by Bill Condon, who based his screenplay on the novel Father of Frankenstein, by Christopher Bram, the movie has flashbacks to the making of Whale's classics, scenes where Clayton and his girlfriend (Lolita Davidovich) watch some of them, and memories of the pool parties that the closeted director George Cukor held every Sunday at his mansion above Sunset. (I once interviewed Cukor at the very poolside. A venerable and beloved figure in a liberated age, he was still prudent about his revelations; he remembered Katharine Hepburn swimming in the pool, but of course there was no whisper about the Sunday skinny dips.)
In "Gods and Monsters," Whale knows his health is failing. He lives alone except for a cheerless housekeeper (Lynn Redgrave, very good) who lectures him on bad behavior and tells him he will go to hell. She sizes up Clayton and knows the whole story instantly--has no doubt seen the same scenario enacted many times. But this time, because Clayton feels empathy and because Whale feels the chill of approaching death, the seduction strategies are pro forma. What the man most needs to do is talk, and Clayton lets him, as he slips between the present and his vivid memories.
"Gods and Monsters" is not a deep or powerful film, but it is a good-hearted one, in which we sense the depth of early loss that helped to shape Whale's protective style, and the California openness that allows Clayton Boone to care for a man he has nothing in common with. The film includes a clip from "The Bride of Frankenstein" of a toast to "gods and monsters." By creating a wife for Frankenstein's monster out of base materials, Dr. Praetorious of course was the god. Now James Whale finds he no longer has the strength or the impulse to create a lover for himself. At the end there are neither gods nor monsters, only memories.

Get a Physical Exam Every Year
Do You Get a Physical Every Year?
by Fitness 15 Reactions 8 Shares Print
After running out of birth control pills last week, I called my doctor to ask for a refill. She went ahead and fulfilled my request, but not before I was gently scolded for ignoring an email reminder for my annual exam. I could tell that she preferred I had my annual before she renewed my BC, but probably thought that the consequences of missing a week's worth of pills were too great. The happy ending is that I'm going in for my annual this week. But honestly, my annual exam might have been postponed even longer if I didn't have a doctor that sent me email reminders. Tell me . . .

I did, but this year when I called to make my appointment because my BC was running out, the nurse just said they would have a doctor send in the refill and call me when they did. I was confused because they normally want me in every year. I was wondering if this had to do with the new guidelines for a pap smear every 2 years now.

I get bloodwork done every year and I have an eye exam done every year as well. I go in for a total physical every other year; my doctor says that as long as nothing is wrong, I can skip a year with my PAP smears (I'm considered extremely low risk when it comes to cervical cancer risk from HPV).

onlysourcherry 4 years
Guava, I don't mean to jump on you, but it really is a "big deal." You could have conditions that are treatable now, but could cause infertility or cancer if they go unchecked. The sooner you get everything checked out the better. Most likely you'll find out that you are perfectly fine and you can feel good about your health knowing that you're okay.
inlove23 4 years
to Guavajelly I'm in my early 20's and I make sure I get physical exams every year. I'm not sure if you were talking about your OB (which you defiantly need to go to even if you aren't having sex) or your physician, but either way it's important. You could have (even though it's not common when younger) something like hypertension which could ultimately kill you, and there's no way you can tell without checking your blood pressure. Not trying to scare you, but it's important.
guavajelly 4 years
I don't and feel bad about it, i guess. I've only ever had 1 in my whole life. But I am in my early twenties, so no big deal right? I do get my eyes tested every 2 years & my my teeth cleaned every year or 6 month though! http://fullbodytransformation.wordpress.com/
skigurl 4 years
Yes, I do - I get a pap, breast exam, they weigh me, check my heart, eyes, ears, neck etc. then I ask any questions that have been plaguing me, and get my BC prescription at the same time. I know when it's time to book it when I am almost out of pills (and obviously it's the same month every year so not hard to keep track of). It makes me feel good to know that I've been checked out, am healthy, and never have to worry about stuff.
