Barone is as wrong about the Democrats as he is the Republicans. The Democrats will win the 2016 Presidential election. They have to or all the destruction obama has reaped on the Republic will be overturned and the Democrats won´t allow that to happen. How will they do it? Voter fraud as in the past. Stalin said it´s who counts the votes that matters the most and the Democrats count the inner city large metro areas. They will get the votes they need to win Florida, Pa and Ohio and any other state that is needed. The fat lady is singing. Good bye America it was great while it lasted.

The Virginia Beach 1/2 Marathon's Team in Training raised $2.4 million. Most of that money will be given to hospitals, including UVA where Kelly and George are treated.
"Before George got sick we really weren't aware, didn't understand what it takes to treat a child like this," Glenn Reid, George's Dad says.
After eight months of treatment, countless tears and thousands of dollars in medical bills, they have a better idea.
"We all benefit from the funding you're raising," Reid says.
At UVA, it's used in ways the patients can actually see it.
"One is to buy the extras the states not going to provide. The rocking chairs, the coloring books, the band aides," Dr. Nancy McDaniel says.
And don't forget George's favorite, the Nintendos.
Donations to UVA also go to research, to find shorter treatments and new drugs.
"The experimental medicine has dramatically reduced the size of his liver and has even helped his energy level," Kitra Coffman, Kelly's Mom says.
"If George had been diagnosed 20 years ago, the chances he'd live would be slim," Reid explains.
Not anymore, cure rates for childhood leukemia are getting higher everyday.
"The technology has really come far and the marathon that you ran it's really raised a lot of money to help find different ways to help kids with Leukemia," Coffman says.
Coffman says a big help is raising awareness in the Valley.
"People don't know Leukemia's not contagious-some people think it is. There's got to be a lot more awareness out," Coffman says.
And more money doesn't hurt.
"Every little dollar counts it's not the million dollar ones-we need them, but it's the $10-$100 donors that help your neighbor, the friend," Dr. McDaniel says.
"We're all looking for a cure and without funding and without research and the doctors and nurses, the support of family and friends, the church- people can't get through this," Reid says.
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that these kids are fighters. And seeing where the money's going, shows them they're not alone.

He walks the concourse of MetLife Stadium, listing the Dolphins' successes against his Jets special teams, then stops abruptly.
"That's as bad as it's ever been in my whole career,'' he says.
Westhoff is 64 and coached four decades and you say maybe, with time, with distance, it won't feel as bad when …

A world first in Tasmania…
The mystical seahorse has always been a source of immense attraction. However, through fishing and habitat destruction, their numbers globally have dwindled. Seahorse World at Beauty Point, Northern Tasmania, is a unique breeding facility designed to help conserve this creature through reducing the wild catch for aquariums, and to provide an excellent tourism and educational experience.
Posted 13 October 2014
Seahorse World has made the finals of the Tasmanian Tourism Awards for the second year running, confirming it as one of Tasmania's leading attractions.

Registration open for Camp Good Grief and Camp Journey
ALBANY, Ga. – Congenital heart defects account for nearly 30 percent of infant deaths due to birth defects, according to the Centers for Disease Control. In the United States, about 18 of every 10,000 babies are found to have critical congenital heart defects (CCHDs).
Due to current research, and recommendations from theAcademy of Pediatrics, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital is implementing a new congenital heart defectscreening program for all babies born at the hospital in Albany.
"These screenings can truly mean the difference between life and death for the babies we deliver at Phoebe," said Mindy Spencer, Phoebe's neonatal outreach educator. "By screening all of our newborn patients, we could potentially detect any life-threatening abnormalities that could put the child at risk."
The screenings are simple bedside tests to measure the amount of oxygen in the baby's blood and the child's pulse rate. Called a pulse oximetry, the test is painless and takes just a few minutes. Screenings are done when the child is 24 to 48 hours of age. If the test results are positive, then more tests will be needed to confirm any diagnosis.
The tests are important, because often, a child will appear healthy initially and can be sent home with their families before showing any symptoms. If identified early, the infant can be observed by a cardiologist and can receive the treatments, which may include medication or surgery.

Athlete of the Week: Eric Mayes
Date: January 17, 2013
by: Nick Friedman | Community Editor
Eric Mayes, the 18-year-old center on Booker High School's basketball team, has been playing basketball since the seventh grade. He says the sport has helped him stay on the right path, and as he approaches graduation, he looks ahead.
How did you get started playing basketball?
I've been playing since seventh grade. Coach Clark asked me to play. I got in trouble, and I had to go to the office. Coach told me to come try out for the team to help keep me on track, and it did. I'll always remember that day.
What do you remember about your first game?
I was pretty sorry. I didn't know how to play. I didn't know how to drop step. I didn't know how to do anything. I traveled a lot. All I could do was catch and shoot.
How have you improved since then?
Lots of practice. I've had a lot of coaches help me with my drop step. My eighth-grade summer was when I finally got decent. So, by my freshman year, I was much better.
When did you realize you wanted to stick with it?
In that eighth-grade summer — I fell in love with it. I already had the height, and I was big enough.
What is your favorite part about the game?
Dunking. I love it; it makes the crowd go crazy. It gets me pumped up, and I definitely feed off of the crowd.
What is your biggest strength as a player?
I think my size. I'm 6'5", so I'm a lot bigger and stronger than most of the players I'm going up against. There's nothing they can do.
What is your biggest weakness?
My jump shot. It used to be my free throws, but I really improved those.
How do you plan to improve your jump shot?
It takes a lot of repetition. The key is to jump straight up and down, without fading away.
What is your fondest basketball memory?
My best memory is when I got two dunks in one game against Tampa Catholic. We ended up beating them and going to the playoffs. It was especially good, because they had beaten us by 30 before.
What advice would you give yourself if you could go back in time?
Listen to the people who are trying to help you. I used to be hardheaded, and I thought I was a lot better than I was. It really hit me when I started playing against people who were much better than I was.
Do you have any college plans?
Yeah, I'm visiting a lot of schools. I'm looking at Missouri, Mississippi State, USF and Iowa State.

This episode takes you behind the scenes into the production room to show you character discussions, the many goofs made when shooting episodes, and more.
Basically the same thing as "Secrets to the X-Files", the episode shows the past highlights including Scully's abduction and Mulder's sister, and new ones from Season 3. There's a brief segment of clips from Season 3.
Mulder and Scully investigate a series of murders where the suspect seems to be both male and female. Their investigation leads them to the small town of Stevenston, Massachusetts, where a group called the Kindred have set up a village back in the woods.
This episode shows various clips from previous episodes (up to "Our Town"), explains the history of Mulder and Scully including how/before they met, then explains the other important characters (like Skinner, X, Deep Throat, CSM) and then summarizes/explains highlights (like Scully's abduction and the alien clones).
A new intelligence gropes its way to life in the depths of wires and circuit boards - only to find itself perched on the edge of immediate extinction. When it fights back, killing Mulder's former partner in the process, he and Scully must find a way past its considerable defences.

Caverns by Jeep excursion on Carnival
Hello Everyone! My husband, myself and my in-laws are cruising to Cozumel in February...it is our second trip there, and my in-laws first cruise. We are planning on booking the caverns by jeep excursion that goes to Playa del Carmen, Explora Beach and snorkeling in Chac Tun Cavern...has anyone ever taken this excursion or been to these destinations? Just wondering how it is! It has gotten rave reviews on Carnival's website.
Thank you for any information!
I went on the jeep/beach break excursion several years ago with my grandmother. We both had a blast! the jeep part was a lot of fun and the cave was really cool and refreshing. I totally recommend doing it. ;)

Apple has updated its website to announce that it will be live streaming next week's WWDC Keynote address for all to watch. As per usual, the event will be available on Macs running Safari 4 or later, iOS Devices running iOS 4.2 or later, Windows machines running Quicktime 7, and via an application on the Apple TV. The event kicks off at 10AM Pacific/1PM Eastern time on Monday, June 2nd. Apple says that it has "exciting announcements" in store for the event (as it says for all of its events), which is likely to include talk of iOS 8 with Healthbook, a redesigned OS X 10.10, and new hardware products. We'll be on hand live to bring you the latest news from the conference.
Opinion: Will Apple's Smart Home concept bring home automation to the masses?
It's the 21st Century: weren't we all supposed to be living in automated homes by now? Where we walk in the door after a long day to have our home playing some soothing music, informing us that it's run us a bath and that dinner will be ready in 45 minutes? Where a robot has done the cleaning, changed the flowers, accepted a parcel that arrived while we were at work and fed the cat?
That dream seems to be a long time coming. I'm a reasonably techy guy who loves the idea of home automation, yet even I only have three examples in my home (which I'll mention along the way). Most mass-market consumers haven't even noticed that the products exist, and the few who have tend to view it all as too complicated or fiddly.
If anyone can change that perception, it's Apple. Which is why the Financial Times report yesterday that Apple is working on a new approach to home automation that may be unveiled at WWDC next week caught my attention … Read more
Nest officially confirms smart smoke + carbon monoxide detector called 'Protect'
We originally reported last month that Nest Labs, the company founded by famed iPod creator Tony Fadell, was readying its next product for launch soon: the smart fire detector. Nest Labs officially announced today that the 'Nest Protect' will be joining the lineup with the smart thermostat.
The Nest Protect detects smoke and carbon monoxide and addressses some of the flaws of modern smoke detectors and of course connects it to your iPhone in the process:
Nest believes that safety shouldn't be annoying, so they started from scratch and built a new smoke + CO detector, the way it should be done, with advanced features under a sleek interface:
· Heads-Up: Instead of just beeping at you, Nest Protect gives you helpful vocal warnings before conditions get dangerous. And if you have more than one Nest Protect in the home, you can connect them so you'll know where the danger is, no matter which room you're in.
· Nest Wave: No more climbing on chairs to reach your detector. You can silence Nest Protect by simply waving at it.
· Mobile app: Get low-battery alerts and Emergency Alarm notifications on your smartphone or tablet.
· Pathlight: Nest Protect glows white as you pass under it at night, lighting your way in the dark.
The smoke + carbon monoxide detector itself has a design similar to our Apple products as it resembles Apple's previous generation Airport Extreme base station. I really like the idea of silencing an alarm with just a wave. Wrestling with a tiny disengage button in a commotion is the last thing anyone wants. Check out availability information and the official promotional video below: Read more

Concerta (methylphenidate) is a popular prescription medication for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Unfortunately, several studies have linked Concerta to higher rates of priapism, cardiovascular risks, psychiatric disorders, and other severe side effects. If you need information about joining a Concerta class action or filing an individual lawsuit, contact Schmidt & Clark, LLP.
Free Concerta Class Action Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or your loved one was injured by priapism after taking Concerta, contact our law firm immediately for a free case consultation. If you file a lawsuit or join a class action, you could receive compensation for your child's injury, medical expenses, and more.
Concerta and Priapism
Concerta contains methylphenidate, the same active ingredient in Ritalin and many other ADHD drugs. From 1997 through 2012, this class of drugs has been associated with 15 cases of priapism — a painful, long-lasting, and unwanted erection that is not due to sexual arousal, and can cause permanent erectile dysfunction. Of the 15 cases, 12 occurred in children (median age 12.5 years).
The FDA published a Drug Safety Communication and recommended that parents and caregivers of male children on Concerta should talk about the symptoms of priapism and what to do if they occur.
Children who do not recognize symptoms or are too embarrassed to tell an adult can potentially develop severe tissue damage in the penis, which may need to be treated with hospitalization and/or surgery. Without treatment, priapism cause lifelong erectile dysfunction (impotence).
Concerta Heart Risks
- Sudden death
- Heart rhythm abnormalities
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Cardiomyopathy
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
What is the problem?
Schmidt & Clark, LLP is nationally recognized as a class action law firm, but we are not filing a Concerta class action at this time. Instead, we are filing individual lawsuits on behalf of adults and children who developed priapism, heart problems, and other severe side effects.
About Class Actions
Class actions are ideal when a large group of people is injured by the same defendant. They are especially useful when each individual is seeking damages that are less than the cost of individual litigation. In a class action, members consolidate their claims into one representative lawsuit. Lawyers select one plaintiff to represent the whole group, and the success or failure of the class action is decided upon the outcome of that lawsuit.
Why Our Law Firm is Filing Individual Lawsuits as Opposed to a Concerta Class Action
Although class actions can have advantages in certain circumstances, our lawyers are concerned that a Concerta class action could have serious disadvantages — plaintiffs could be forced to accept high attorneys' fees and a "low ball settlement." They may never get the opportunity to present their case before a judge and jury with a lawyer who is fighting on their behalf.
At Schmidt & Clark, LLP, we believe that individual Concerta lawsuits are the best way for us to fight for justice on each client's behalf. We understand that many of our clients are suffering devastating injuries to their physical, financial, and emotional health. This is why we always review cases for free, and typically work on contingency-fee.
Do I have a Concerta Lawsuit?
The Product Liability & Defective Drug Litigation Group at our law firm is an experienced team of trial lawyers that focus on the representation of plaintiffs in Concerta lawsuits. We are handling individual litigation nationwide and currently accepting new cases in all 50 states.
Free Concerta Class Action Lawsuit Evaluation: Again, if you or a loved one was injured by Concerta, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a lawsuit or joining a Concerta class action, and we can help.

Young Money star Drake has already established himself as a platinum-selling artist and now he is testing the fashion waters by releasing a new limited edition line of luxury leather jackets.
According to reports, Drizzy's new jackets will cost just under $5,000 in the United States.
The Canadian rapper and his crew October's Very Own have teamed up with Canada Goose to design a high-end jacket. And it's not your average cold weather gear, this goose down creation will costs a pretty penny. $5000 CDN to be exact, which means it will run you $4,895 in the states. Eek! The jacket features a buffalo leather exterior, silk lined interior, a snorkel hood with removable fox fur trim and 24-karat gold plated hardware. Oooo la la! The perfect find for those with flashy taste and deep pockets. (Huffington Post)
Last month, the rap star designed his own retail jacket.
Still, from the guy who once designed a $500 varsity jacket with Roots and has aspirations of doing a sweater collaboration with Missoni, we suppose we shouldn't be surprised about how much the jacket costs. So if you have really, really deep pockets and feel an intense and burning need to look like it this winter, we may have found just the piece of outerwear for you. Check out pictures of it below while we check eBay to see if there's any stuff from The North Face selling for under $100. (Styleite)
Since the buzz developed, Dipset's Jim Jones has been accused of ripping off Drake's new line.
The jacket went to stores on December 28 and available for purchase in New York, Tokyo, Osaka and Drake's hometown. After his OVO jacket was released, they said Jim apparently came up with a similar looking version of the jacket with a very affordable price tag. While Drake's OVO is priced at $5,000, Jim's jacket costs only $175. However, some sources say that it's not a coincidence, rather it was encouraged by the producers of reality show "Love & Hip Hop" so that the tension created over the similar jackets would boost the ratings of the show. (Freddyo)
Outside of selling clothes, Drake's new sophomore album is flying off store shelves.
Young Money star Drake's Take Care received a two-slot boost to No. 5 with 131,000. Heading into his seventh week, Drizzy's new album rests at 1,175,000 sold records to date. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

The passion of service to our troops in a war that's not over
- Written by Pennington Walker, USO/theGrio
- Published in News
My job is about passion.
It's a passion to lead. It's a passion to succeed. And it's a passion to give people a little bit better of a day – or even just a moment – amid some of the biggest challenges of their lives.
I'm the manager at USO Kandahar, one of seven remaining USO centers in Afghanistan. Thought that war was over? A lot of other Americans do, too. But we've still got thousands of U.S. troops serving in harm's way every day. And when those men and women need a break, a nap or a place to call home, they come to our center.
The draw for me was simple. I served 28 years in the Army before retiring nearly five years ago as a sergeant major. I was used to taking care of my fellow soldiers. Now, I see some of the same guys who I served with come through our center's doors.
The USO has been around for 73 years. We were with troops during World War II, we went to Korea and Vietnam in the decades after that, and we were there for both wars in Iraq and the ongoing conflict where I'm stationed now. Our organization has more than 160 locations around the world and more than 30,000 interactions with troops every single day. And we just built two state-of-the-art USO centers in the Washington, D.C.-area for troops recovering from serious injuries.
Ever get an email from a buddy serving in a remote location? Ever Skype with a brother or a cousin in who was in the military overseas? Ever see troops in a war zone on the jumbotron at an NFL game, or playing video games remotely against celebrities? If so, chances are it was at a USO center.
Outside our center's doors, it's still a war zone. Inside our doors, it's their home away from home.
Our team of eight total staffers runs a center that's available to more than 20,000 troops every day. These troops deal with tough situations – occasionally even life-or-death choices – every day. I don't usually see the emotions they're dealing with when they walk through the door.
But eventually, I see those feelings rise to the surface. I hear their voices quiver in their phone calls home. I hear their passion in the United Through Reading Room, where they can record themselves reading a children's book and send the recording back to their kids in the States.
And I see the high fives and tears of joy from some of the toughest people you'll ever meet when they watch their children being born via a Skype call made on USO-provided Wi-Fi.
I've been in their shoes. I understand the sacrifice they make. And that's why I am so passionate about being by their side when they walk through those USO doors.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jeff Keppinger, Joe Blanton, Jason Bay and a diamond full of players wound up in different places Wednesday at the winter meetings while top contenders waited for a pair of free-agent prizes to make their decisions.
Eric Chavez, Randy Choate and Sean Burnett also joined new teams. The lone trade was minor, with the Detroit Tigers sending left-hander Andy Oliver to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a young catcher.
Former MVP Josh Hamilton and former Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke remained in play. They're the driving forces in this market and depending on where they go, more moves are likely to follow.
The Texas Rangers would like to re-sign Hamilton, at the right price. The slugger was in Nashville this week but has left, and his agent met with Rangers general manager Jon Daniels on Tuesday night.
"Obviously, one of the bigger dominoes," Daniels said. "Trying to get the first one to fall."
New York Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey keeps drawing attention. He lives near the Opryland Hotel and dropped in for a visit, though there's no change in his situation. Signed for next season, he wants a new contract while several clubs, including Boston, want to trade for the reigning NL Cy Young winner.
In the meantime, some deals stayed on deck. No telling if any of them will get done before the meetings end Thursday with the Rule 5 draft for players left off 40-man rosters.
"We wondered if one of the guys went off, (if) it would speed up. We'll see," Boston Red Sox GM Ben Cherington said. "It seems like it may be moving a little bit."
Also in the mix: Cleveland Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, amid speculation the Arizona Diamondbacks are trying to get him in a multi-team swap.
All-Star third baseman David Wright of the New York Mets became the first player to step up to the brightly lit podium in the press room. Standing at the spot where trades and signings are usually announced, his appearance was expected.
Wright was in town to talk about his eight-year, $138 million contract, the largest in team history. Wright, a .301 hitter, is a six-time All-Star and turns 30 in two weeks. A Mets fan growing up, Wright said he wanted to spend his entire career with the club.
"I've never pictured myself in a different uniform," he said.
"It just feels like there's so much unfinished business and I'd like to finish what I've started," he added. "Honestly, it wouldn't mean as much to me winning somewhere else as it would obviously winning here."
Away from the dais where Wright spoke, inside the suites at the sprawling 2,881-room hotel, several players changed jerseys.
Keppinger agreed with the Chicago White Sox on a three-year, $12 million contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no announcement.
A versatile infielder, Keppinger hit .325 with a career-high nine home runs and 40 RBIs for the Tampa Bay Rays last season. At 32, Keppinger is known for making contact and has more walks than strikeouts during his eight-year career with the Rays, San Francisco Giants, Houston Astros, Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals and the Mets.
Keppinger is likely to play third base for the White Sox. Kevin Youkilis finished the season at that spot last season, but then became a free agent. The New York Yankees and Arizona also had been interested in Keppinger.
Arizona wound up with Chavez, giving the corner infielder a one-year, $3 million contract, a person with knowledge of the deal said.
Chavez, 34, hit .281 with 16 homers in 278 at-bats for the Yankees, seeing time at first base, third base and designated hitter. The six-time Gold Glove winner lives in the Phoenix area.
Bay and the Seattle Mariners agreed on a one-year deal, a person familiar with the negotiation said. The 34-year-old outfielder is hoping to resurrect his career with the Mariners after three disappointing and injury-plagued seasons with the Mets.
The Los Angeles Angels added Blanton and Burnett to their retooled pitching staff, and the St. Louis Cardinals signed Choate for its bullpen.
The Chicago Cubs and outfielder Nate Schierholtz closed in on a one-year, $2.25 million contract, a person familiar with the negotiations said. The Baltimore Orioles kept outfielder Nate McLouth and the Colorado Rockies re-signed pitcher Jeff Francis.

The Lotus Dome by Daan Roosegaarde
Dutch artist, designer & architect Daan Roosegaarde is renowned for combining technology, architecture and nature in tactile high-tech works of art. Now showing at one of Amsterdam's best venues, the Rijksmuseum presents the luminous Lotus Dome; an excellent, engaging example of 'Techno-poetry'.
Three reasons why Arts Holland recommends this:
#1: The Lotus Dome merges elements of architecture and nature into an interactive environment. The dome is a living structure made out of hundreds of smart flowers that respond to light and (body) heat. These foils, designed by Studio Roosgaarde, are made up of different layers of Mylar (a type of polyester).
Walking by the Lotus, the dome comes to life. Hundreds of aluminium foils unfold in an organic way, a deep bass sound fills the space and light projects the lotus flowers onto the walls. The dome generates transparent voids between private and public. Physical walls are made immaterial, giving way to a poetic morphing of space and people.
#2: This high-tech work of art has been travelling the world since it was created in 2012. Having been on display at a number of historical locations abroad, the Lotus Dome now faces a contemporary juxtaposition with the Rijksmuseum's 18th-century period room.
#3: The Lotus Dome will be on display in the Rijksmuseum's Beuning Room, an 18th-century Amsterdam room, originally from a Keizersgracht property. The mahogany paneling and original stucco ceiling with paintings by Jacob de Wit and Jurriaan Andriessen are typical of the 18th-century Rococo style.
"What's so special about this work is that you can actually touch it, unlike other art in a museum. The relationship with the museum visitor is an intrinsic part of the work." - Daan Roosegaarde
On show for the first time in Holland, this – for many reasons - is a must see!
Dates to remember: from 7 February through 5 May, 2014
Venue address: Rijksmuseum, Museumstraat 1, Amsterdam
