The federal seat of Perth is one of only three federal electorates currently held by Labor in Western Australia. Retaining this seat is critical if Labor is to avoid complete oblivion in the west.
The seat of Perth is an inner metropolitan electorate spanning approximately 78 sq km. The division stretches across all or parts of 26 suburbs, and takes in the capital's CBD and commercial and professional districts. According to 2011 Australian Bureau of Statistics Census data, Perth is above average for both the state and nationally in terms of median weekly personal incomes, educational qualifications, and people from professional occupations.
Since 1901, the seat has been served by nine members, three of whom have had the distinction of ministerial service. Frederick Chaney Snr was Minister for Navy in the Menzies Liberal government (1955-1969), Joseph Berinson briefly held the environment portfolio in the Whitlam ALP government (1955-1969), and most recently Stephen Smith, who served as Minister for Defence in the Rudd and Gillard ALP governments before announcing his retirement from politics in June.
There is another member who is also worthy of a mention, albeit for a different reason. Between 1922 and 1928, the seat was occupied by Edward Mann. Political tragics may be aware that Mann was responsible for steering the Electoral Act (1924) through federal parliament, establishing compulsory voting.
The seat of Perth has had something of a lumpy electoral history. It has been subject to frequent redistributions, with the result that it has vacillated between the ALP and conservative parties at different periods. Since 1983, however, it has been held continuously by the ALP when Ric Charlesworth captured the seat from Liberal Ross McLean, who held the seat between 1975 and 1983. In 1993, Charlesworth was succeeded by Smith.
The seat is currently held by Labor on a two-party-preferred margin of 5.9 per cent. Although the margin is much healthier than in either Fremantle or Brand, it is still uncomfortably slim given the electoral mood.
Western Australian voters have what can only be described as a torrid relationship with federal Labor. Apart from a brief but intense love affair with Labor in the early 1980s, WA voters have shown a remarkable lack of enthusiasm for the party at nearly every subsequent election. Since 1990, Labor's share of the statewide primary vote has never exceeded 40%, dropping as low as31.2 per cent in 2010.
Given the strong anti-Labor predilection in WA, news of Smith's retirement was greeted with some trepidation within Labor ranks. Although Smith's primary vote took a battering in 2010, it was expected that his high profile would be sufficient to ensure the retention of the seat.
Labor has responded to the challenge posed by Smith's retirement by preselecting Alannah MacTiernan to run in his stead. Although MacTiernan is not likely to be well known outside of WA, she enjoys strong name recognition within her home state. MacTiernan served in the WA Legislative Assembly between 1996 and 2010, seven or so of those years as a minister.
In 2010, MacTiernan exited state parliament in order to run against the Liberal incumbent, Don Randall, in the federal seat of Canning. It had been widely speculated that MacTiernan's decision to vacate state parliament was helped along when her caucus colleagues overlooked her for the leadership of the state parliamentary Labor Party.
Although MacTiernan failed to take the seat from Randall, she has never been far from headlines. Earlier this year, she gained national attention when she called for Julia Gillard to stand aside as leader of the federal parliamentary party.
MacTiernan's straight talking approach will most likely enhance her appeal to Perth voters. MacTiernan is also a battle-hardened campaigner. She was the only ALP candidate in WA to record a positive swing at the 2010 election. MacTiernan's campaign will be further served by Smith's role as campaign director.
MacTiernan's prospects will be further bolstered by two additional factors. First, the return of Rudd as prime minister seems to have improved Labor's standing in WA.
Also, the Liberal state government has had a difficult time lately. Economic growth in the state is slowing and commodity prices are weakening, which has had the effect of plunging the WA budget into additional deficit. The state is reportedly facing the prospect of losing its AAA credit rating. State debt is expected to rise to A$28.4 billion by the 2016-17 financial year. While the conventional wisdom is that voters are good at distinguishing the actions of one level of government from the other, it doesn't hurt Labor if the state Liberals are struggling.
There is also reason to believe that the Liberals have never truly considered Perth to be winnable. If they did, then they may have opted to install a more high profile contestant to the seat. Instead, the Liberals pre-selected Darryl Moore, who only joined the party in 2010.
The seat of Perth is shaping up to be a fairly safe proposition for Labor.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler and her boyfriend, Entourage actor Jerry Ferrara, have called it quits, PEOPLE has learned.
Sigler, 28, and Ferrara, 30, met on the Entourage set in 2008 when Sigler joined the HBO comedy as a guest star – playing the on-screen love interest of Ferrara's character, Turtle. They soon became a couple in real life, too.
"They're busy with their careers, and she in particular has a couple of movies out in 2010, and others in the works for 2011, so it's just tough," a source who knows the couple tells PEOPLE.

In her early 20s, she explains, she was "often misguided and misled," and her 2003 marriage to A.J. DiScala was no exception.

With 21 months between the fifth and much-awaited sixth season of The Sopranos, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, 24 – who plays Mafia princess Meadow Soprano – used her downtime to tackle different roles, filming two upcoming comedies and making a cameo in an episode of Will & Grace.

The Sopranos may be on hiatus, but Jamie-Lynn DiScala has been keeping herself busy – especially at night. "I'm shooting a horror movie right now called Darkride," she tells us. "We film only during the nights. I've become a night owl. Last night I came home with a bunch of blood on me. It's crazy. But I'm really having a lot of fun." It's not all blood-and-gore for the actress, however. DiScala will guest-star on Will & Grace on Nov. 25, playing Will's boyfriend's sister (got that?). As for her downtime, DiScala says she and her manager-husband A.J. (wed since July 2003) are getting ready for their first holiday season since moving to L.A. from New York. "We're hosting," she says. "It will be a little bit of both families. And then Aspen for New Year's and St. Barts after that. We haven't honeymooned yet, so we're trying to do it in little installments."

No longer just the Boss's daughter, Jamie-Lynn DiScala is taking a break from the family business for a very different kind of business. In USA Network's Call Me: The Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss (airing 9 p.m. March 29), the Sopranos star, 22, plays the title role of the infamous Hollywood madam. After initially thinking she'd say "No way!" to the part, DiScala couldn't turn down a role that's so radically different from brainy Meadow Soprano – not to mention her own life as a young newlywed (to manager A.J. DiScala).

China: Toying With the World
Mattel Inc. just announced its second recall in a month of toys made in China, this time for 9 million of them, which contain either lead paint or magnets children could swallow. How did China become the world
Mattel Inc. just announced its second recall in a month of toys made in China, this time for 9 million of them, which contain either lead paint or magnets children could swallow. How did China become the world's largest manufacturer of toys?
How many toys are made in China each year?
Toys made in China constitute about 75% of the world's toy output. Hundreds of millions of toys are imported into the United States alone each year, and approximately 70% to 80% of those toys are manufactured in China. And that translates to big money: Last year, the U.S. imported $20.9 billion worth of toys and games from China. (Streetinsider.com and Money.cnn.com)
Why does Mattel manufacture so many of its toys in China?
Well, the bottom line is, the bottom line—labor is significantly cheaper in China. At one of Mattel's biggest factories in Guanyao, a city in south China's Guangdong province, many of the 3,000 workers put in "10 hours a day, six days a week, for about $175 a month, typical for this region." The average wage for a factory worker in the U.S. is around $15 to $30 per hour. (Telegraph.co.uk and Machinedesign.com)
When did Mattel start moving its operations to China?
Way back in 1967. Mattel opened a factory in Taiwan, which was used to manufacture Barbie Dolls. Some experts consider Mattel "to be a trailblazer for the 'outsourcing' phenomenon that made eastern Asia the workshop of the world." In 1987, as Taiwan's labor force had become more prosperous, Mattel moved over to the Chinese mainland where wages were even lower, and has remained there ever since. (Telegraph.co.uk)
Does anybody make toys in the U.S. any more?
Yes, and the remaining American toymakers are rushing to capitalize on China's recent mistakes. Whittle Shortline Railroad, a Missouri company that makes wooden trains and trucks, recently added a banner on its Web site saying its toys were "100-percent kid-safe" with "lead-free paints." The company's sales have jumped by 40 percent since China's string of recalls began. "People are not going to forget this," said Mike Rainville, owner of Maple Landmark toys in Vermont, "for at least this Christmas season." (NYTimes.com)

DNA Replication
By Paul Andersen from Bozeman Science in BIOLOGY
This video belongs to the following courses: AP & IB Biology
Paul Andersen explains how DNA replication ensures that each cell formed during the cell cycle has an exact copy of the DNA. He describes the Meselson-Stahl experiment and how it showed that DNA copies itself through a semi-conservative process. He then explains how multiple enzymes, like DNA polymerase, helicase, primase, ligase, and single strand binding proteins copy DNA. He also differentiates between the leading and the lagging strand. He explains how DNA is anti-parallel in nature and how eukaryotic cells have multiple origins of replication.

Monday's Mini-Report, 11.10.14
Today's edition of quick hits:
* Nigeria: "A suicide bomber dressed as a student killed at least 48 people at a school assembly in northeastern Nigeria on Monday, a hospital official said. Most of the victims were students. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack in the town of Potiskum in Yobe State, a territory that has been hit by Islamist Boko Haram rebels during a five-year insurgency."
* Afghanistan: "Three blasts on Sunday morning punctured months of relative calm in Kabul, with the Taliban carrying out at least two attacks, including a suicide bombing inside the city's heavily fortified Police Headquarters that reportedly targeted senior officials there. The toll from the attacks, which took place over the course of a few hours, appeared limited, with Afghan officials saying the sole person killed was a senior police official, and that at least seven people had been wounded."
* If he's recovered, there are zero confirmed Ebola cases in the United States: "Craig Spencer, the New York City doctor who became the first person in the city to test positive for Ebola, is being released from Bellevue Hospital Center on Tuesday morning, people familiar with his treatment said on Monday."
* The death toll climbs: "A fourth victim shot by a classmate at Marysville-Pilchuck High School has died at Harborview Medical Center. Andrew Fryberg, 15, died Friday evening. He had been in critical condition in the intensive care unit at Harborview in Seattle since the shooting two weeks ago."
* ISIS: "It's still not clear whether Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, was hit over the weekend by an airstrike in Iraq. But the uncertainty raises a question: What would the militant organization look like without its savvy, shadowy man in charge?"
* State Department: "President Obama will nominate longtime Democratic national security staffer Antony J. Blinken to be the No. 2 official at the State Department, the White House said Friday. Blinken will replace William J. Burns, a senior diplomat, as deputy secretary of state. Blinken, 52, was a top aide to Vice President Biden in the White House and for years before that in the Senate. He has most recently served as deputy national security adviser."
* Oklahoma: "An armed man took at least two people hostage in an office building in Norman, Oklahoma, on Monday, prompting dozens of workers to flee for safety, police said."
* Aren't conservatives supposed to be against running to court over disputes like these? "Rush Limbaugh is hopping mad at the Democratic Party -- but this time he's threatening to do more than just talk about it on the radio. The conservative pundit is threatening to sue the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for a series of fundraising e-mails that suggested Limbaugh was condoning campus rape in comments he made on his widely syndicated program on Sept. 15."
* To his credit, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has decided to step down from the No Labels board. Because some corners of the political world are a little too predictable, he'll be replaced by Joe Lieberman.
It's like Obamacare for ...
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) isn't pleased with President Obama's announcement on net neutrality.
"Net Neutrality" is Obamacare for the Internet; the Internet should not operate at the speed of government.
As Matt Yglesias, in an uncharacteristically light touch, noted in response to Cruz, "What, if anything, that phrase means is difficult to say."
It is, indeed. Apparently, the right-wing senator believes we've reached the point at which comparing something -- anything, really -- to the Affordable Care Act is so damning that Americans should be reflexively repulsed.
The fact that net neutrality is in no way similar to the ACA apparently is irrelevant. The fact that the Affordable Care Act is succeeding by every metric matters even less.
Cruz's problem has always been surprisingly simple: he's not dumb, he thinks you're dumb.
But there's larger pattern to all of this. Republicans are so preoccupied with their irrational disgust for the Affordable Care Act that they've become preoccupied with the "[Policy X] is the Obamacare of [Subject Matter Y]."
Obama goes big on net neutrality
When we last checked in on the future of net neutrality, there was quite a bit of uncertainty. In January, a federal court struck down the FCC's net-neutrality policy, leaving Obama administration officials looking for a new way to guarantee that all online content will be treated equally.
A few months later, in April, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler unveiled a possible alternative, which was quickly condemned by net-neutrality proponents. In May, he tried again with his so-called "fast lane" policy -- no online content would be deemed less accessible based on service providers' corporate arrangements, but telecoms could charge some companies, such as Netflix, more to deliver their content faster.
For proponents of net neutrality, the fear has been that President Obama, a longtime ally, would break with his previous commitment. He's actually done the opposite -- the White House this morning made the announcement net-neutrality supporters were eager to hear.
U.S. President Barack Obama asked the Federal Communications Commission on Monday to set the 'strongest possible rules' to protect net neutrality as agency writes new Internet traffic regulations. Obama urged the FCC to prohibit so-called paid prioritization, deals in which content providers would pay Internet companies to ensure smooth delivery of traffic. He said the FCC should reclassify consumer broadband service to be regulated more like a public utility.
I can appreciate why this may seem overly technical, but when it comes to the future of the Internet, Obama's new position is a very big deal.
Rand Paul can't keep his ISIS story straight
The U.S. mission against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria continues to intensify, with reports over the weekend of an airstrike hitting a gathering of ISIS leaders. Iraqi officials believe the strike killed a number of top militants.
The news came just days after President Obama authorized "the deployment of up to 1,500 additional troops to help train, advise and assist Iraqi government and Kurdish peshmerga forces in their fight" against ISIS, nearly doubling the U.S. military presence in the country.
It's against this backdrop that Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) argues today that the military offensive is "illegal" and it's up to the legislative branch to act (thanks to my colleague Tricia McKinney for the heads-up).
I believe the president must come to Congress to begin a war. I also believe the War Powers Act is misunderstood; President Obama acted without true constitutional authority even before the 90 days expired, since we were not under attack at that time.But in either case, this war is now illegal. It must be declared and made valid, or it must be ended.Congress has a duty to act, one way or the other.... Taking military action against ISIS is justified. The president acting without Congress is not.
To be sure, that's not a bad argument. On the contrary, Paul's position is very much in line with a sensible approach to national security and the use of military force abroad. When Obama announced a larger deployment, it was exactly the sort of development that cries out for congressional oversight -- which Congress has been unwilling to consider even as the military confrontation has grown more serious.
But the problem for Rand Paul emerges when we look at the trajectory of the senator's arguments on the issue.
Monday's Campaign Round-Up, 11.10.14
Today's installment of campaign-related news items that won't necessarily generate a post of their own, but may be of interest to political observers:
* With Republican Ed Gillespie officially having conceded in Virginia's U.S. Senate race, the only unresolved Senate contests are in Alaska and Louisiana. Republicans are favored to win both.
* On a related note, in Louisiana's U.S. Senate race, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee decided to cancel $2 million worth of ad buys in the state. The National Republican Senatorial Committee, on the other hand, in addition to Rep. Bill Cassidy's (R) campaign resources, and aligned far-right groups, are investing more than $8 million in the runoff.
* Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) may be on her own, but she has resources of her own, and her new ad characterizes Cassidy as "incoherent."
* There's one less outstanding U.S. House race, with Carl DeMaio (R) conceding his close California race to incumbent Democratic Rep. Scott Peters (thanks to reader R.S. for the heads-up).
* And speaking of U.S. House races in California, Rep. Mike Honda (D) ended up prevailing over Ro Khanna, with the latter conceding the race late Friday.
* Two years after the RNC's autopsy, the DNC is working one of its own: "Democrats are planning an extensive review of what went wrong in the 2014 and 2010 elections, hoping to find ways to translate success in presidential campaigns into future midterm contests. A party committee will conduct a 'top-to-bottom assessment' of the Democrats' performance in recent midterm elections and try to determine why they have struggled to turn out its core voters in nonpresidential elections."
Obama's willing to take a chance on Iran
Last week, the Wall Street Journal published an interesting scoop: President Obama "secretly wrote" to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in mid-October, describing "a shared interest in fighting Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria."
The same report noted that Obama's letter stressed to Khamenei "that any cooperation on Islamic State was largely contingent on Iran reaching a comprehensive agreement with global powers on the future of Tehran's nuclear program by a Nov. 24 diplomatic deadline."
The point of the correspondence seemed pretty obvious: the U.S. president wants to keep nudging Iran closer to a nuclear deal, while at the same time, taking full advantage of the fact that Iran and ISIS are enemies.
Republicans were "outraged." Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) complained to msnbc's Andrea Mitchell that the White House is "playing footsie" with Iran. Failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney, always a font of wisdom on foreign policy, said he was "stunned" and "astonished" that Obama would "legitimize" Iran -- as if international talks with Iranian leaders hadn't already sent that signal -- before adding that the letter was "an enormous error."
Trita Parsi argued persuasively that Obama's letter "just points out the obvious: that Iran and the United States share a common interest in defeating the Islamic State and that real cooperation cannot take place until the nuclear issue is resolved."
The real outrage is that communicating with key players in the Middle East in order to advance U.S. security is still considered outrageous in far too many policy and political circles in Washington. [...]The United States cannot and should not shoulder the responsibility for stopping the Islamic State alone. Nor can U.S. bombs alone pave a path out of the Middle East's perilous situation. Real cooperation and coordination is needed between key players. Iran -- the Middle East's second-largest country by population and a major influence on the Shiite Muslim world -- is one of these key players. Moreover, Iran shares 900 miles of border with Iraq and has good relations with governments in both Baghdad and Damascus. Like it or not, Iran is an unavoidable player in the fight against the Islamic State.
Parsi added that Obama has "his eye on a longer-term strategy -- certainly far more than Bush did" -- that includes leveraging Iran's concerns about ISIS, which is a threat to Iranian stability, but which Iran can't fight alone.
The turnout statistic Republicans hate most
In his post-election press conference, President Obama mentioned in his opening remarks, "[T]o everyone who voted, I want you to know that I hear you. To the two-thirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you, too."
Republicans were furious. By noting that two-thirds of the public didn't bother to show up for the midterm elections, the president was subtly suggesting the Republicans' victories were less impressive.
The trouble is, Obama was correct. Jose DelReal reported this morning:
General election voter turnout for the 2014 midterms was the lowest it's been in any election cycle since World War II, according to early projections by the United States Election Project.Just 36.4 percent of the voting-eligible population cast ballots as of last Tuesday, continuing a steady decline in midterm voter participation that has spanned several decades. The results are dismal, but not surprising -- participation has been dropping since the 1964 election, when voter turnout was at nearly 49 percent.The last time voter turnout was so low during a midterm cycle was in 1942, when only 33.9 percent of eligible voters cast ballots.
In 1942, the nation had just entered World War II.
To be sure, voter turnout in midterm elections is always lower than in presidential elections, so no one was expecting impressive vote totals last week.
But 36.4% is practically the punch line to a bad joke. There were broad assumptions in recent months that Americans simply didn't much care about these elections, and it now appears those assumptions were correct. Indeed, even pessimists didn't expect turnout to drop to a 72-year low.
That's not, however, what Republicans want to hear.
GOP needs a reason to oppose executive action on immigration
It hasn't even been a week since Election Day 2014, but already the incoming congressional Republican majority has focused on one specific message: President Obama cannot rely on his executive-branch powers to act on immigration.
Unfortunately, GOP officials haven't made much of an effort to explain why not.
President Barack Obama and Republican leaders are stuck on an immigration collision course following a lengthy bipartisan meeting at the White House on Friday afternoon.Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and newly empowered Senate Republicans urged the president not to move forward with executive action on immigration policy, warning repeatedly that unilateral immigration policy reforms through the White House would inflame partisan tensions after Tuesday's sweeping GOP win, according to sources in both parties briefed on the meeting.
By all accounts, President Obama isn't the least bit intimidated by Republican posturing, and the White House appears very likely to move forward with its plans by year's end.
The fact remains, however, that Republicans have invested far more energy in complaining about a policy that hasn't been announced than explaining why inaction is so important to them. The stated reasons don't make a lot of sense:
1. Republicans want a "fresh start" with the White House, and that'd be impossible if they have a big, partisan fight over immigration.
That's a nice talking point, but GOP leaders, just one day after the election, recommitted the party to repealing the Affordable Care Act, which is pretty much the opposite of a "fresh start."
2. Controversial actions that antagonize the other party are counter-productive.
This explanation may be true, in an ontological sort of way -- action on the issue would make Republicans upset because they're upset by action on the issue -- but it's not a substantive argument. Congress is going to do some things Obama won't like; Obama is going to do some things Congress won't like. It's what happens when different parties control different branches, and it's not a rationale for inaction.
Collateral damage in a political war
Americans are no longer confronted with a debate over health care reform, per se. Whether or not reform's opponents are prepared to admit it, that debate is effectively over -- a package of reforms was approved by Congress, signed by the president, and endorsed by the Supreme Court. The system is being implemented, and by every metric, it's performing very well.
What we instead have is a group of people whose sole goal is to cripple the American system as part of a political war. Proponents of this war realize that many American families will suffer as a result of their efforts, but the right is prepared to treat these victims as collateral damage in their partisan combat.
Whether or not you find that offensive depends largely on the condition of your moral compass.
But as is always the case in any conflict, the victims aren't just numbers on a page; they're real people. And before Republicans accept these families' losses as the price of their political war, it's worth getting to know some of them personally. Take David Tedrow, for example, of Durham, North Carolina.
The Obamacare subsidies saved my life. Now, I'm scared the Supreme Court is going to gut them.In 2010, at 54, I was diagnosed with non-alcoholic cirrhosis (end-stage liver disease). It's debilitating, and a transplant is the only cure.
Tedrow published a powerful piece in the Washington Post, detailing the severity of his illness, the treatment that saved his life, and the unavoidable fact that the Affordable Care Act is directly responsible for saving his life.
Tedrow is now aware of the fact that Republicans on the Supreme Court may gut the American health care system because of the perception of a minor drafting error in the legislation's text -- and he's terrified.
"After my year-long recovery is complete, I'm hoping to go back to work," he wrote. "I've had three careers -- in higher education, in biomedical engineering sales and as a small-business owner. Because of my insurance, I'm able to contemplate my future. And I'm really frightened that the Supreme Court might cut the subsidy for me and so many others. For me, the subsidy is the difference between life and death."
Stories like these are familiar because there are many Americans whose lives have been saved by "Obamacare." It's a simple, unavoidable fact -- when we talk about the future of the law as a matter of life and death, we're not being melodramatic. We know with certainty that if Republicans gut or repeal the law, many will no longer have access to affordable medical care, and as a consequence, they may pay with their lives.
Secret mission helps Obama admin free Americans in North Korea
Too often it seems that for a foreign policy move to be considered a success, it must involve the use of force. It's likely why so much of the political establishment remains critical of the Obama administration ridding Syria of its chemical-weapons stockpiles -- no missiles means no triumph.
The fact remains, however, that President Obama and his team continue to put together some important victories that resulted from careful diplomacy, including these developments announced over the weekend.
North Korea released two Americans who had been accused of trying to subvert the secretive state, after the director of national intelligence for the United States flew to the country on a secret mission and left on Saturday with the men aboard his aircraft.The plane carrying the Americans -- Kenneth Bae and Matthew Todd Miller -- and the national intelligence director, James R. Clapper Jr., landed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, near Tacoma, Wash., about 9:15 p.m. Pacific time on Saturday.
As the New York Times' report noted, Clapper, the nation's most senior intelligence official, has no background in diplomacy. But in this case, the White House saw the DNI as perfectly suited for a clandestine mission, which went extremely well.
The Associated Press reported that North Korean officials had "passed word they wanted a high-ranking U.S. government official" to discuss the release of the American prisoners, and the president and his team saw Clapper as a unique asset under the circumstances: "The spy chief was senior enough to convey a message of respect to the North Korean. But he is not a diplomat, so he could beg off any unrelated demands the North Koreans may have made."
When Clapper returned with Miller and Bae, the evidence of success was obvious.
The timing doesn't hurt -- Obama left Washington yesterday for meetings in China, including discussions with President Xi Jinping.
No, not that Loretta Lynch
About five years ago at this time, conservative media outlets were eagerly pushing assorted anti-Obama stories, all of which were pretty silly, and which major news organizations were generally inclined to ignore. But some thought that might be a mistake -- the Washington Post's then-ombudsman, for example, questioned whether legitimate journalists were too quick to dismiss "news" right-wing activists considered important.
Around the same time, senior editors at the New York Times agreed to deliberately focus attention on "bubbling controversies" that originated in conservative media.
The problem, however, is that "bubbling controversies" from far-right outlets turn out to be wrong a little too often. Take this weekend, for example.
According to a November 8 Breitbart.com article by Warner Todd Huston, "few are talking about" the fact nominee [U.S. Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch] "was part of Bill Clinton's Whitewater probe defense team in 1992." Huston pointed to a March 1992 New York Times article that "reported that Lynch was one of the Clintons' Whitewater defense attorneys as well as a 'campaign aide.'" And in a November 9 article Huston's colleague, Breitbart.com Senior Editor-at Large Joel Pollak wrote, "The connection to Whitewater ought to provide additional fodder for Republicans during Lynch's confirmation hearings."
Even taken at face value, it's hard to see why this would be controversial for an attorney general nominee. More than 20 years ago, Loretta Lynch helped defend a president against baseless allegations. That's basically a footnote in an accomplished lawyer's lengthy c.v.
But that's not the real problem here. Rather, the reason "few are talking about" this is that Breitbart.com had the wrong Loretta Lynch.

Tales from the Trough: IceHogs gain some ground, finish week 2-1
By Todd Reicher
Sports Columnist
After a short vacation, Tales from the Trough has returned, and so has the winning ways for the 'Hogs. Up until this past Wednesday, Dec. 15, the 'Hogs have gained points in their last five games.
Wednesday's showdown was against the division rival Chicago Wolves, who looked to end Rockford's current streak.
It took until late in the first, but Chicago would tally the first goal. Nigel Dawes, who has been a thorn in Rockford's side this year, scored off a hot shot that hit the far top crossbar and banked in behind 'Hogs goalie Alec Richards. The power play goal put Chicago ahead 1-0.
Rockford would take advantage of Chicago's league-worst penalty kill 2 minutes later. Recently recalled from the ECHL affiliate Toledo Walleye, Peter LeBlanc scored his third of the year, beating Peter Manino on a great pass from Kyle Beach.
Scoring would stay at a stalemate until midway through the second. Jeff Taffe scored his 11th of the season, bringing Rockford to the head of the pack, 2-1.
Chicago would answer quickly with a goal from Michael Davies. Coming into the zone one-on-one, Davies skated sideways toward the net, looking to the blue line to pass. With no Chicago player trailing the rush, Davies quickly flipped a hard wrister and beat Richards with a shot off the crossbar, very similar to Dawes' shot in the first.
An interesting stat: Rockford is 0-4-0-2 this season when tied after two periods this season. Make that 0-5-0-2 now. Chicago took the lead 2 minutes into the third off a good pass from Mark Matheson, and less than 2 minutes later, added to their total with a tough goal by Arturs Kulda.
Richards was pulled in favor of Hannu Toivonen, who managed to stop all nine shots he faced, but the 'Hogs were unable to muster any offense, and the Wolves skated away with a 4-2 win.
Both teams faced off once again Friday night, Dec. 17. This time, the 'Hogs would get the lead and hold on to it.
LeBlanc would get yet another goal for the 'Hogs when Rockford opened up the scoring 7 minutes into the game. The special teams took advantage of the Wolves' struggle penalty kill and rolled out to a 1-0 lead.
Similar to the previous game against the Wolves, Taffe would score after LeBlanc, doubling the lead to 2-0. The goal once again came on the power play, and continued five-game point streaks for both LeBlanc and Taffe.
Midway through the second, Davies would close the gap to 2-1, which is how the second period would end. In a high-shooting game, the Wolves had a slight edge over the 'Hogs after two, 28-27.
The shooting would come to a screeching halt for Rockford in the third, as the 'Hogs amassed only four shots on goal. The good news was that one of those four shots reached the back of the net.
With a little more than 5 minutes left to play in regulation, Rob Klinkhammer extended the lead to 3-1. Rookie Ben Smith made a sweet pass to find Klinkhammer on the other side of the ice, and Klink buried the shot to put Rockford up 3-1.
As the game was winding down, veteran Spencer Machacek beat Richards to close the gap to 3-2. With 40 seconds remaining, the 'Hogs held off the six-on-five play of the Wolves and left the ice with a much-needed 3-2 victory.
One key stat in these two games against Chicago was that Rockford held the AHL's best power play team in the Chicago Wolves to 1-6 in two games. Oddly enough, the Wolves have the distinction of possessing the best power play in the league and the worst penalty kill.
With the sixth game in a row at home, Rockford hosted the Lake Erie Monsters Saturday, Dec. 18. The Monsters beat the 'Hogs 4-2 in late November at the MetroCentre, so the 'Hogs were looking to even the yearly series at one game apiece.
In their last matchup, the Monsters scored the first three goals of the game, with two in the first period, and the 'Hogs were never able to catch up.
This game would prove to be different in two ways: one, there were no goals scored in the first period (or the second, for that matter), and two, the 'Hogs would win the game, and in valiant fashion.
Two scoreless periods with both goalies, Toivonen for the 'Hogs and John Grahame for the Monsters, both stopping 20-plus shots in the first 40 minutes.
That shutout wouldn't last much longer. Two minutes into the third, the scoreless tie was broken by Lake Erie's Curtis Fraser.
Both teams were playing rough through most of the game, and the Monsters seemed to be playing a little chippy compared to the 'Hogs. The refs saw most of this (except whenToivonen was tripped by a Monsters player on a transition), and the 'Hogs had the advantage on the power play opportunities, late in the game four-on-five. With time winding down, the refs called one more penalty on the Monsters. Cameron Gaunce was flagged for hooking with less than 90 seconds left in the game.
Unsuccessful on their first five power play opportunities of the night, things looked bleak for the 'Hogs. That is, until Jeremy Morin scored the game-tying goal with only 14 seconds remaining. The crowd erupted as the 'Hogs sent the game to overtime.
If you recall my stat from earlier, the 'Hogs were 0-5-0-2 when tied after the second period. Either the 'Hogs would add another loss to that stat, or they would start a new trend and win after being tied after two.
It only took 53 seconds for us to get our answer. A new trend would start. Scoring yet another goal this week, LeBlanc tallied the game-winner, breaking the streak, and sending 'Hogs fans home happy with a 2-1 overtime win.
Rockford is off until Sunday, Dec. 26, when the 'Hogs host the Milwaukee Admirals at the Rockford MetroCentre, with game time at 7:05 p.m. The 'Hogs then head up to Milwaukee to face the Admirals Tuesday, Dec. 28, for a 7 p.m. start time.

The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) is a professional organization for materials scientists and engineers that encompasses the entire range of materials and engineering, from minerals processing and primary metals production to basic research and the advanced applications of materials. While TMS is headquartered in the United States, its scope is international in both its membership and activities
The society provides forums for the exchange of information; encourages technology transfer; promotes the education and development of current and future professionals; represents the profession in the accreditation of educational programs and in the registration of professional engineers (a U.S.-grounded activity); encourages professionalism, ethical behavior, and concern for the environment; and stimulates a worldwide sense of unity in the profession.
Included among its nearly 12,000[1] professional and student members are metallurgical and materials engineers, scientists, researchers, educators, and administrators from more than 70 countries on six continents. Volunteer members serve at all levels of the society, and take a hands-on approach to shaping the policy, programming, and publications of the society. TMS is a volunteer and bottom up driven society. The bottom up philosophy gives members a sense of accomplishment when they give back to the profession they belong to.
Technical Divisions[edit]
The society comprises five technical divisions to program conferences, develop content for publications, and perform other activities:
- Electronic, Magnetic, & Photonic Materials Division
- Extraction & Processing Division
- Light Metals Division
- Materials Processing & Manufacturing Division
- Structural Materials Division
TMS is a major publisher in the materials community. Each year the society publishes numerous proceedings volumes containing papers presented at society-sponsored meetings. The best known of these publications are the annual Light Metals and EPD Congress volumes.
TMS-published periodicals include
- JOM, which is a monthly journal devoted to exploring the many aspects of materials science and engineering.
- Journal of Electronic Materials, which prints peer-reviewed technical articles each month on advances in electronics materials.
- Metallurgical and Materials Transactions, which comprises three peer-reviewed archival journals. Volume A, published monthly, covers physical metallurgy and materials science; Volume B, published bimonthly, covers extraction and processing; Volume E, published quarterly beginning in 2014, covers materials for energy systems.[2]

George Clooney's 'Monuments Men' pushed to 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - George Clooney's World War II drama "The Monuments Men" is being pushed to 2014 and out of the fall awards season.
A spokesman for Sony Pictures said Wednesday the movie will now be released in the first quarter of next year, instead of its planned release date of Dec. 18. "Monuments Men," which Clooney directed, co-wrote and stars in, had been expected to be a top Oscar contender.
The film could still compete for awards next year, but the early-in-the-year positioning suggests Sony doesn't expect it to. Sony said the film is being delayed so Clooney can finish the film's extensive visual effects.
The film is about a WWII platoon whose mission is to rescue artworks from the Nazis.
The Los Angeles Times first reported the release date change.

We noticed in the NGP announcement trailer, the Motorstorm logo was one of many to appear...
I can't comment on that, largely because I can't comment on that - I actually don't know anything about it. Look, this game is just about to be released, we're obviously going to start thinking about where we're going next, the world is fairly open to us at the moment.
Like I said before, all I want to do is make sure we keep creating kick-ass games. If that's another Motorstorm game or if that's an entirely new game it doesn't matter. What you can expect from Evolution Studios is just stuff that f****** blows you away. We've set our stall out now, I feel like the previous two games were building to this point; both in terms of visual spectacle but also in terms of playable experience.
The multiplayer experience alone is just so board and from a design point of view it's elegant, it plays really well, the reward system works. We've really tried to make this an excellent experience and we'll just keep doing that.
Have you had exposure to the NGP? What's the dev's reaction to it?
We were really excited about it. To be honest, we've had our heads down trying to finish this off so our exposure to it has been fairly limited. We obviously got a bit of a sneak preview before the public did but other than that we've had no real exposure to it, largely because we've just been too busy to be honest.
For me personally, I think it's a great piece of kit. What handheld device gives you that kind of performance and that level of experience? The sort of experience - If you think about the studios Sony has, even just the internal studios, the sort of games they've created - experiences like that in the palm of your hand, you can't really get it anywhere else. I think it's a very exciting time to be a gamer really.

A dream come true, kinda. That's what this was, right?
That was Sunday morning and the first tee at Chestnut Hills and, holy gee, look who Anna Feldman is playing with. It's Karley Dobis, the defending women's city champion. There are people hanging around (A gallery? Say what?).
And Anna Feldman is here because she's only four shots off the lead in a tournament she never imagined playing until the Fort Wayne Women's Golf Association and the Lifetime Sports Academy partnered to waive the entry fee for four LSA golfers so they could play in the women's city, too.
And then Dobis steps up and stripes one down the fairway, and suddenly Feldman's knees are water.
Yeah, I was nervous, Feldman says later.
Thus the kinda part, but it's the dream-come-true part you want to pay attention to here. It's the dream-come-true part that was the spur for the FWWGA taking an idea last fall to Rick Hemsoth of LSA: How can we get young girls more into golf?
How about inviting them to play in the biggest annual tournament for women?
We're trying to promote women's golf in Fort Wayne, and that's why we sponsor the city tournament to begin with, says Sylvia Gross, president of the FWWGA. And then several members and I were talking that it would be nice to get more young girls involved and nurture their interest in golf.
And, well, one thing led to another. Hemsoth instituted a series of tournaments this spring to enable his LSA students to accrue points, with the idea that the top point-getters would get the FWWGA sponsorships in the women's city tournament.
And that's how, this past weekend, Feldman, Lydia Baldwin, Kylee Calloway and Haley Parker wound up playing out at Chestnut Hills.
And how, Sunday morning, Feldman wound up playing in the same group with the defending city champ in front of – gulp – actual people.
She was nervous as a cat, says her father, Kevin, vice president of sales and marketing for Hotel Fitness and a golfer from way back.
She was also right where she belonged, oddly enough. Sixteen years old, a varsity golfer for Leo, she fell in love with the game while attending a few camps as a kid but began playing competitively just three years ago.
So of course, in the opening round of her first women's city Saturday, she dropped a 75 on Chestnut Hills and wound up playing in the championship flight Sunday.
How'd that happen?
I was hitting everything pretty well, says Feldman, as spare with words as strokes. That was pretty much it.
And that was pretty much one of the stories of the weekend, although she couldn't keep it going. Nerves sent her to a 51 on the front side Sunday, although she played the back in 39 for a 90. Then she shot 86 Monday to finish with a 251 total, good for a tie for 13th. Exactly the sort of thing the FWWGA was hoping for.
I think is so important to nurture these young girls and make sure they love golf and have the opportunity to play in things like this that maybe they wouldn't normally be able to play, Gross said Monday.
With the hope, of course, that it will be keep them coming back to the game.
So what's your favorite thing about golf? Feldman was asked Monday.
It's really rewarding when you hit a good shot. And also playing with really good people, she said.
And playing in the women's city, nerves and all?
Pretty cool, she said.
No kinda about that one.

Bizarre Foods in Montreal
Montreal is a foodie's paradise. Even Andrew Zimmern from The Travel Channel's wildly popular show Bizarre Foods thinks so. Join him as he eats his way around Montreal's classic dishes as well as some, well, bizarre foods. Here are three clips from Bizarre Foods: Montreal.
In this first clip, Andrew visits a couple of Montreal's best loved restaurants. At Fairmount Bagel, he learns how they make their amazing bagel using a technique going back hundreds of years. It turns out it's not so easy. Bagel makers at Fairmount Bagel train for 8 weeks!
Andrew also visits the world famous Schwartz's Deli for some of Montreal's best smoked meat.
The last stop in this first clip is to Brome Lake Duck Market and Bistro. This restaurant and shop sells nothing but duck products. They even have a special duck poutine!
Get ready for some bizarre food in this next clip. Andrew Zimmern stops at DNA, a restaurant specializing in using all parts of the animal. Andrew eats his way through an array of dishes including horse heart and tongue, venison and polenta topped with dried venison blood and ends the meal with pig blood custard and sour patch coxcombs.
After eating on the wild side at DNA, Andrew heads over to La Banquise, a poutine lovers heaven. At La Barquise, Andrew samples different kinds of poutine and ends the night off with an old fashioned arm wrestling contest.
After eating breakfast of an impressive array of meats, including a brain sandwich, at Abu Elias, Andrew heads out of the city to a local sugar shack.
Sugar shacks are maple syrup lovers paradise. Andrew spends an afternoon at Cabane à Sucre where they serve a 10 course meal, every dish seasoned with maple syrup, including a lobster maple souffle.
