How Mitt Romney Suckered His Fat-Cat Donors

The big chin-scratching story in the aftermath of the 2012 campaign is that the Romney-Ryan campaign was "shell-shocked" by its loss to Barack Obama. "I don't think there was one person who saw this coming," a senior adviser to the campaign told CBS. "There's nothing worse than when you think you're going to win, and you don't," said another. "It was like a sucker punch."
The most likely explanation for that yawning disconnect is that the campaign figured it was better to appear to be entirely clueless about the race than acknowledge that it had been bullshitting its fat-cat donors about Romney's chances of winning in order to keep the cash spigot open.
That's not how most people saw it. Many attributed the campaign's apparent surprise to "epistemic closure" – to a campaign deeply ensconced in a conservative media bubble that had been systematically "unskewing" the polls and predicting a Romney victory for months. According to this view, Romney's camp was surrounded by people who saw Barack Obama as an abject failure who was deeply unpopular and had little to no chance of being re-elected.
But that story really isn't plausible. The right's "unskewed" polling project was based on the notion that the 2012 electorate would look like that of the 2010 midterm, when Republicans enjoyed a "wave" election. While the dimmer lights of the right-wing blogosphere may have convinced themselves that this would likely be the case, no serious observer of American politics could really believe that a presidential election year – where around 60 percent of eligible voters go to the polls – could look all that similar to a midterm in which 41 percent turned out (older people and whites tend to be more reliable voters than younger voters and people of color).
It's also true that Mitt Romney didn't lead Barack Obama for a single day of the campaign in Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight forecast, the Princeton Election Consortium's forecast, the Rand Corporation's model or the Electoral College forecasts offered by poll aggregators like Talking Points Memo and Real Clear Politics. The base may have shrugged that off as widespread and systematic "bias" on the part of pollsters and numbers crunchers, but campaign hacks are news junkies and while they could have believed a comeback win was possible, the notion that they saw it as a sure thing – sure enough that Mitt Romney didn't bother to even prepare a concession speech – just doesn't pass the smell test.
If one believes the insiders' accounts, the Romney campaign was basing its strategy on its own "unskewed" internal polls. CBS reported that "their internal polling showed them leading in key states, so they decided to make a play for a broad victory: go to places like Pennsylvania while also playing it safe in the last two weeks."
A more likely scenario emerges when you consider how Romney's campaign was financed, relying on a small pool of very deep-pocketed donors. As Michael Scherer put it back in July, "Mitt Romney is struggling to get everyday people to give small amounts to his campaign."
By September, almost 90 percent of the donations to the Romney-aligned super-PACs – which were doing the heavy lifting in terms of advertising – exceeded $100,000, according to the New York Times. Only 23 percent of the campaign's donations were under $200 (compared to 56 percent for Obama).
And by the time the conventions rolled around, it looked like the money was beginning to dry up. In September, the New York Times reported, "Mitt Romney entered the final months of the presidential campaign with a cash balance of just $35 million," and was "racing to find new large donors." The Romney team "grew so short of available cash that his campaign borrowed $20 million and sharply curtailed advertising." When that report came out – as Romney and Ryan were "racing to find new large donors" – Nate Silver's model gave them just a 23.9 percent chance of winning. By the end of September, the likelihood of a Romney victory was down to 15 percent – hardly a good bet for a gambling man like casino magnate Sheldon Adelson.

Should a Criminal Record Make You Jobless and Homeless?
When someone is convicted of a crime in the United States, the law provides a range of possible penalties. In most cases, there is some discretion for the judge in terms of the specific penalty, but there are usually minimum and maximum penalties that have some relation to the crime. The American justice system is based on the idea that once you are convicted of a crime, you pay your penalty, and then you get a chance to learn from your mistake and improve your life. But the reality is often something quite different.

My bf is hella jealous.
Posted by Anonymous
- 47 Replies
I like it though. He cares about me, he protects me when we are out and about and he loves me. Now some may think that's crazy why stay with him? I stay with him because he is the absolute most sweetest guy I have ever met. He has already taken my daughter on as his own even after I told him he didn't have too. I can definitely see myself marrying him soon.

When guys he don't know give me attention.
Quoting Anonymous:
So is he jealous of the guys that give you attention or the attention you give other guys? When guys are jealous they become possessive. If you're ok and feel safe and happy then that's awesome.

They're the conversations Muammar Gaddafi didn't want the world to hear: Al Jazeera's
Hoda Hamid obtained more than 12,000 recordings of Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam,
and other high-ranking Libyan officials.
Libya on the Line will retell the story of last year's Libyan civil war from a new
perspective: through the eyes of the Libyan officials fighting desperately to stay
in power.
We've posted a taste of the recordings below. In one conversation, Saif al-Islam
Gaddafi tells an aide he will 'send people to liquidate' rebel fighters. It's a
statement that Luis Moreno Ocampo, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal
Court, describes as a "kill order." In another, Muammar Gaddafi and that same aide
- Tayeb El Safi - reminisce about how they met, decades ago.
The first installment of Libya on the Line will be released, on TV and online, on
Friday, May 11, at 1700 GMT, with repeats on Al Jazeera on Saturday, Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday (May 12-15).

Development project in Niger
15.11.2012 / 18:28
The Czech Republic donated computer technology and exercise-books to grammar school Issa Korombé in Niamey (Republic of Niger)
In 2012, the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Abuja in cooperation with the honorary consul of the Czech Republic in Niger, Mr. Souleymane Abdou Niandou, realised a local small scale development project "Delivery of educational material and computer technology to grammar school Issa Korombé, Niamey". The aim of the project was to modernize computer equipment of the school and to improve the accessibility of computer science in one of the poorest countries in the world. The subsidiary goal was to rise awareness about the Czech Republic and to promote activities of Czech compagnies in Niger.
The grammar school Issa Korombé is a state-owned school, where is currently studying 1653 students in 40 classes. It is one of the most popular schools in Niger and many of significants personalities of Niger graduated at this school, including four presidents.
In the frame of the project, the Embassy handed over computers, printers and toners in total value of 12 455 EUR and almost 2 000 exercise-books in total value of 1 524 EUR. The equipment was supplied by a local company Zebra. The project was inaugurated on 13 November 2012 by a representative of the Embassy, Mr. Bohumil Hamršmíd.
Niger is a landlocked country in Sahel, over 80 percent of its land area covered by the Sahara desert. 85% of population lives in 150km wide band at the southern border. In the long term, it is one the poorest countries in the world. It consistently ranks as one of the lowest ranks of the United Nations' Human Development Index, 186th of 187 countries in 2011. The majority of population is endangered by drought cycles ruining crops. Economy of the state is still dependent on external factors and international donor assistance.
The state invests roughly 4,5 % of GNP (540 mil. USD) in education. The literacy rate of Niger is among the lowest in the world; in 2005 it was estimated to be only 28.7% (42.9% male and 15.1% female).

I keep getting this error when I attempt to connect to our remote Database using Remote Desktop Connection .
First, which reason of those 3 would it be?
I search online and I found out this may involve Firewall , and that if I open( or is it "close" , I'm a little confused on that) port 3389 then it may work. If this works it saves at least 10 minutes daily for me.
But how insecure is this? Is it a mjor risk to make port 3389 unrestricted?

Jeff Keppinger says shoulder will be fine
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN firstname.lastname@example.com March 17, 2013 11:56PM
Jeff Keppinger

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Jeff Keppinger returned as the designated hitter after a three-day absence because of a personal matter.
Keppinger, who suffered a broken ankle in a fall at home during the offseason, figures to be the White Sox' starting third baseman. But he had to be the DH again because of "irritation" in his right shoulder, a result of not going through his offseason throwing routine.
When he does get on the field, it might be at second base with shorter throws to make, but he assured reporters the soreness won't linger.
"I don't have an issue with my shoulder where it's going to be a problem all season long,'' Keppinger said Sunday. "There's a little irritation and inflammation in there from just picking up the use really fast, where in the offseason I didn't have much time to build it up. I'm pretty sure it's taken care of and we'll move forward from here.''
Crain encouraged
Although he allowed a home run and a walk in his one inning in a minor-league game, right-hander Jesse Crain was in good spirits after making his second appearance in three days. His right groin felt good, and he was confident he'll be ready for Opening Day. Crain called it "a huge jump.''
"It's definitely a step forward health-wise,'' Crain said. "The other day I'd probably give myself maybe 80-85 percent. Today I probably was up to 90.''
Flowers sits
After being penciled in Saturday night to catch Sunday, Tyler Flowers was not in the lineup for the game against the Royals in Surprise.
Flowers, who hasn't caught in a game since Thursday because of a stiff lower back, was surprised to hear he was even posted on the lineup card. After the Sox' day off Monday, Flowers expects to catch Tuesday.
"It feels good,'' he said. "It's progressing nicely. Going to do some stuff, keep everything in shape and I'll be good to go.''
Pitch counts
Left-hander Jose Quintana threw 79 pitches in the same minor-league game Crain worked in, and lefty Hector Santiago threw 42. Jake Peavy will pitch in a minor-league game Monday while most of the Sox are off.
"I'm hoping to get 90 pitches out of it,'' Peavy said. "I want to get up and down five, six times and work on things. I want to work out of the stretch, with my slide step. The biggest thing is throw your pitches, assess where you're at, what you need to work on between starts — cutter, changeup whatever it may be. You do that in the game but the biggest thing is getting your arm in shape.''

It's really simple.
The Warriors have zero answers for Blake Griffin, and the Clippers have every answer for Stephen Curry.
So it went for a second straight game in the teams' best-of-seven, first-round series as Griffin appeared unstoppable and Curry didn't make an appearance until it was almost too late in the Warriors' 98-96 Game 3 loss Thursday night at Oracle Arena.
Griffin did whatever he wanted against any defender the Warriors threw at him, pouring in 32 points and dominating in consecutive Clippers victories that stole any momentum the Warriors might have had from taking Game 1 in Los Angeles.
The Clippers' power forward has 83 points in 93 minutes of a series that heads to Sunday's Game 4 in Oakland with the Warriors equally desperate to find ways to defend Griffin and to get Curry's offense ignited.
"We'll make adjustments. Obviously, (Griffin) is playing well and demanding a lot of attention, but we want to make sure that we're not switching our style of defense and not overreacting," said Curry, who scored nine of his 16 points in the final 5 1/2 minutes and missed a go-ahead three-pointer with 1.9 seconds on the clock after a frantic comeback attempt from down 18 points.
The Warriors created the deficit during a third-quarter sequence that included Griffin scoring 10 consecutive points and making it look similarly easy against David Lee, Jermaine O'Neal and Draymond Green.
They trimmed the Clippers' lead to one point two times in the final 4 1/2 minutes and trailed 98-96 after Chris Paul made the second of two free throws with 8.6 seconds remaining. But, as he had done much of the night, Paul recovered on Curry's last-seconds step-back jumper and altered the shot enough to make it wildly errant.
"Chris did a good job of putting his hands on him," Warriors head coach Mark Jackson said. "When he went up for the shot, he's supposed to be able to come down. ... Clearly, he wasn't able to. I'm not looking for an apology tomorrow."
Until the fourth-quarter comeback blitz, Curry was diminished to being mostly a distributor by the Clippers - managing seven points on just six shots to go along with 10 assists in the first three quarters.
The Warriors ran Curry off a multitude of screens, but they couldn't free the world's best shooter from Paul. When Curry had the ball in his hands, the Clippers doubled and trapped him into having minimal impact.
With their maestro quieted, the Warriors shot just 41.6 percent from the floor, including going 6-of-31 (19.4 percent) from three-point range. They committed 17 turnovers, bringing their series total to 66.
The Clippers weren't extraordinarily efficient on offense, either. But they didn't self-destruct - committing only 13 turnovers and killing most potential Warriors runs by simply dumping the ball to Griffin in the post.
After Curry's first three of the night fell with 5:39 remaining and trimmed the deficit to 85-81, Griffin threw down a reverse dunk. When Klay Thompson's turnaround bank shot cut it 87-86, Griffin spun and hit an off-balanced jumper for a three-point cushion.
When Curry's second three-pointer got the Warriors within 96-93 in the closing minute, the Clippers went back to Griffin. He drew a questionable foul call on Green and made one of two free throws with 26.4 seconds to play.
"He's playing at a high level right now," Jackson said. "He's making plays, and he's making shots. We've forced him into being a jump-shooter, and he's making shots. On the block, he's aggressive. He's having an outstanding series, capping off an outstanding year."
A year that's going to continue into the second round pretty quickly, if the Warriors don't find some answers.
Home run ended
Before Thursday. the Warriors had won six consecutive first-round home playoff games.

Gluten Sensitivity
Recently my 17-month-old son was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity. He must avoid all foods with flour, unless they are prepared with a special kind of flour. I have been buying his food at a health food store, but it is getting expensive. Can you suggest things that he can eat?
Sue Gilbert
Sue Gilbert works as a consulting nutritionist. For many years she worked with Earth's Best Organic Baby Food, integrating nutrition and... Read more
Gluten is found in the protein of certain grains, especially wheat, but also in oats, barely and rye. When eaten, the gluten can damage the small intestine of sensitive individuals and will interfere with the absorption of all nutrients. As you have discovered, lots of foods contain gluten and you will have to become educated on what to avoid. This means becoming a very careful shopper and an avid ingredient panel reader.
The following is a list of some foods that contain gluten and should be avoided:
- Barley
- Bran
- Cola Drinks
- Graham flour
- Malt
- Millet
- Prepared Mustard
- Oats
- Root Beer
- Rye seeds or flour
- Salad dressings (many prepared types, read the ingredient panel)
- Soups and sauces that use flour as a thickener
- Soy sauce
- Wheat and wheat products
- Worcestershire sauce
- Distilled white vinegar
Some grain's flours are fine to eat, such as corn meal or corn flour, rice flour, potato flour, and soy flour. You can use these flours in recipes to make your own breads and crackers. Because your son will not be able to eat a wide variety of breads and cereals, which are an excellent source of many nutrients, particularly fiber, B vitamins and iron, you should supplement his diet with a child's multivitamin supplement.
Because a gluten sensitivity excludes so many foods from the diet, I advise you seek guidance from the American Celiac Society at 58 Musano Court West Orange, NJ Phone: 201 325-8837 Fax number: 201 669-8808. They will be able to provide you with information on wheat and gluten free products that you can buy, as well as offer appropriate recipes. Hopefully they will be able to steer you to less expensive alternatives that can be found in the supermarket. You may also get help from a dietitian recommended by your pediatrician or allergist, or you can locate a dietitian in your area by visiting eatright.org.

The relationship scenario between in-house counsel and lawyers from law firms has changed a great deal over the last decade with respect to transparency. With access to better software, computer systems and data collection methods, in-house counsel are able to measure up billed hours against results received. Alternative fee structures in generic work is gaining popularity and the private law firm is increasingly being viewed as a cost center with structured business efforts dedicated to measuring their worth.
However, despite technological and economical changes over the last decade, the relationships between in-house counsel and lawyers from private law firms continue to remain almost the same as that of a decade ago. What corporate counsel sought then from private law firm lawyers is the same as what they seek today: a proactive partnership in the conduct of client business. Something that can be found only when greater harmony can be built between in-house counsel and external service providers.
Building better harmony between in-house counsel and lawyers from private law firms
Wood and Eberts III (1999) suggest the following methods to build greater harmony between in-house counsel and lawyers from private law firms. The suggestions remain as relevant today for corporate counsel as they were when first made:
- Decreasing the number of law firm providers
- Retaining counsel who anticipate business risks and who can properly counsel on minimizing risks and furthering the company's business
- Expanding nontraditional relationships with providers like contract-staffing companies, legal research companies, document vendors which leaves law firms to focus only on litigation and counseling
- Create alternative billing arrangements with those willing to work long-term
- Using computer systems and modern technology in communications to increase transparency
- Insisting that external counsel should communicate both bad news and good news in a timely fashion
To work effectively with in-house counsel, lawyers from private law firms need to understand that there are as many creative subject experts this side of the fence as on theirs. No doubt, being in a more competitive atmosphere and exposed to a richer legal environment, private law firm lawyers have a better chance of becoming leading experts in their fields, but it does not mean every lawyer from a private law firm is automatically a leading subject expert.
In every field of real law practice including creativity, client relations, cost and billing, communication, problem solving, responsiveness, and risk-sharing, in-house counsel have to prove their mettle day in and day out. The safe pay packet of in-house counsel is a thing of the past and their take home amounts are open to both the vagaries of stock markets and the performance of non-legal management. The lines keep blurring as more and more law firms adopt business methods of measuring performance, and businesses hire more in-house counsel who are valued subject experts.
Realizations by clients about the actual and measurable contributions of private law firms are being accompanied by a gradual shift to hiring smaller law firms, while big law is being hired only when it is necessary. However, despite the visible shift in preferences of businesses, lawyers from private law firms fail to develop harmony with in-house counsel because of an automatic assumption that it is safer in-house and tougher outside. Unless a private law firm lawyer is rid of this erroneous assumption, working with him/her remains difficult.

Phenergan (promethazine): I have been taking Phenergan 25mg for yrs now. I have no problem with it and it works fine for me. This is for the lady that said she was 65yr old and her daughter had same reaction. You are severely allergic to Phenergan, do not take it any more, please. My wife was prescribed it for nausea and vomiting. She started taking it and every time she started feeling like throwing up by the time I made her go to the emergency room she was on the couch with her feet raised, I mean I had to put a cinder block under the end of the couch to raise it up enough for her. She could not stand up without throwing up and I had to hold her up to get to the bathroom. She was in the hospital for a week. Now she cannot look up without getting dizzy & going to pass out!

Phenergan (promethazine): I am on opiate pain medication for a back injury from a car accident, and the opiates make me nauseated and vomit. Pain doc put me on 25mg Promethazine 3X a day and it works wonders! It will make you a little sleepy, but once you get used to it then that feeling goes away. And I've tried Tigan (Trimethobenzamide) which made nausea worse. Tried Zolfran (Ondansetron) which I hated because it taste nasty and that doesn't help when you are nauseated. I would HIGHLY recommend Promethazine for ANYONE who SUFFERS with nausea from opiates or has chronic nausea!

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Surveillance Project
Staff members at the Utah Department of Health have been conducting traumatic brain injury (TBI) surveillance as part
of a CDC-funded TBI Surveillance Project since the late 1990s.
The objective of the surveillance is to determine when, where, why and
how Utahns are sustaining these devastating injuries. The goal is to use
this information to develop primary prevention strategies (using seat
belts, wearing helmets, etc.) and to impact secondary prevention efforts
to lessening the severity of health problems related to brain and spinal
cord injury.
Utah hospitals are required by law to submit discharge data
to the Utah Department of Health. The data are compiled and analyzed
by surveillance specialists who review the medical record of
a sample of patients identified with a
TBI. Other sources of information include rehabilitation center
records, police and traffic reports, death certificates, and
medical examiner reports. Staff abstract these records and complete a form for each patient.
The form provides demographics, diagnoses, cause of injury, injury locale,
and other variables related to the nature of the injury. The data is sent to the CDC to assist with the development
of national data, and is also used for local injury prevention programs.

Rape Crisis has a vision of a South African criminal justice system that supports and empowers rape survivors in all of its interventions. Until such time as this vision becomes a reality we provide that support and empowerment. We believe that the rape survivor is the key to a successful conviction and that her empowerment is based on safety, respect, support and the ability to make informed choices as she embarks on this difficult and challenging journey.
Our mission is to act as a bridge between rape survivors and the system so that:
- more survivors report rape,
- the number of rape incidents decrease,
- survivors experience reduced secondary trauma within the system and
- the conviction rate of rapists increases thus providing a deterrent to rape.
Our work would not be complete without also acting as bridge between the rape survivor and the community in order to reduce the stigma of rape, to challenge myths and stereotypes about rape and to increase the support available to survivors.
We aim to achieve our mission through coordinated action between our three main programmes: (1) counselling, crisis containment and court support directly to survivors, (2) training and awareness programmes to civil society organisations, government partners and community groups and (3) advocating for law reform with partners in the sector.
Counselling and Support Services
- Rape Crisis offers face-to-face counselling by experienced counsellors at three centres in Cape Town (Athlone, Observatory and Khayelitsha)
- We also provide counselling for family members, partners, spouses or friends of the survivor
- We offer a 24-hour crisis line and speak to survivors in English, Afrikaans or Xhosa over the telephone
- We offer ongoing social support in the form of support groups for survivors
- To support a survivor through the process of reporting and prosecution, a Rape Crisis counsellor will act as a liaison with various people in the criminal justice system, such as police, medical personnel and prosecutors
- We offer 24 hour crisis containment at Thuthuzela Care Centres, which are one stop rape care centres based at regional hospitals where the forensic examination and treatment of rape survivors takes place
- Rape Crisis offers a pre trial consultation service to help prepare survivors for the rape trial
- We offer support at court throughout this experience
All of these services are offered free of charge
Training and Awareness Programmes
- Rape Crisis offers awareness raising talks and workshops to community groups, other NGOs, criminal justice system officials, church groups and schools
- We offer customised training courses to NGOs offering services to rape survivors as part of their offering and to criminal justice system
- Our peer education project trains selected high school learners to offer support and raise awareness about rape in their schools
- Our SafeSpace Corporate Training and Consultation Service offers a package of services to the corporate and private sector
Some of these services are offered free of charge while others are offered at a fee on a sliding scale
Working for Change
- Rape Crisis has strong relationships with more that 60 networking partners across South Africa and abroad and are members of several national and provincial working groups including the National Working Group on Sexual Offences and the Provincial Victim Empowerment Programme (VEP) Task Team
- We also participate as active members in several ongoing campaigns including the Shukumisa Campaign to improve infrastructure available for prosecuting sexual offences and the Road to Justice Campaign to persuade government to enact Victim Empowerment Legislation that will improve services and access to justice for all victims of violent crime
- Our advocacy is based on research and we are in the process of building a computerised research database to capture vital information about the nature of rape in South Africa and about survivors' experiences of the criminal justice system
Special Projects
- The Birds and Bees youth camp takes place at the end of the year bringing together high school learners that participated in our peer education project during the year
- The SpeakOut project offer support and presents opportunities to rape survivors that wish to speak publicly about their experiences either to the media, to researchers, as guest speakers at functions and events or on other public platforms
- Our Virtual Tour of The Criminal Justice System is an online guide to victims of violent crimes showing in virtual 360 degree photography and in video clips how a case proceeds from police station, to health facility, to court, to counselling service and what the all steps are along the way
- The Stop the Bus campaign takes a crew of volunteers on a tour of small towns and rural farms in the Western Cape during the 16 Days of No Violence Against Women and Children offering a mobile awareness raising and counselling service.

From Cold Turkey to the Cross (interview)
Christianity today
From Cold Turkey to the Cross
by Andrew Greer
posted 03/17/09
After 25 years in the business, Randy Travis is an American music legend. But only
over the past decade has his signature bass gone beyond his country music roots and
into gospel territory. The winner of three Grammys and seven Doves with his gospel
recordings alone, Travis recently spoke with Christian Music Today about his new
best-of album,
Three Wooden Crosses: the Inspirational Hits
(Word), about his conversion experience, the difference between church and country
audiences, and why he's been bitten by the acting bug (he blames Andy Griffith!).
Three Wooden Crosses: the Inspirational Hits
The title track of your new album is a song that presents a story of redemption—of
once lost, now found. Is this story symbolic of your own conversion?
Randy Travis:
I came from a background that was heavy with drugs and alcohol and arrests. I've
heard people speak about how a vision or something hit them, like a light turned
on, right then and there. For me, I was into my early twenties, and I went to bed
one night and just started reading the Bible. That's how the slow process of coming
to understand that I needed to know more about the Word of God began, and then coming
to the point of accepting Christ and water baptism.
Did faith in God dissolve the drugs and drinking immediately, or was it a process?
Because of my background, I really had no fear of anything or anybody. But I came
to a point in my mid-twenties where I thought,
The only thing I'm really afraid of is that if I died now, I know I would go straight
to hell
. I would hear, "Depart from me worker of iniquity, I never knew you," not "Well
done, good and faithful servant."
That was a sobering thought. So the drugs and alcohol, I stopped that cold turkey.
The drinking, running totally wild, running around getting locked up for driving
under the influence, trying to outrun police and many, many fights—all that stuff
stopped by my mid-twenties. The marijuana lasted a couple more years, then I finally
stopped that too.
Randy Travis
Randy Travis
From a spiritual perspective, change is a lifelong process.
You continue to grow. As you study the Word of God more and more, you find that
more is continually revealed to you from the Bible. On top of that, there's the relationship
we have with God, with Jesus, and with the Holy Spirit. That relationship is the
most important part. And I'm amazed what things we have access to through prayer.
As Jesus said, "Where any two of you agree as to anything, ask in my name and it
will be given to you" (Matt. 18:19). The fact that I've seen that work is just an
awesome thing.
Did you ever guess gospel music would be the avenue to amp up your career?
Heck no! [Laughs] My wife and I started working toward getting signed to a record
label in the country genre about 30 years ago. If you had asked me back then if I
thought we'd have a career in gospel recording, I would've said, "I doubt it." When
we did "Forever and Ever, Amen" [in 1987], I thought we'd never have another song
that would have that kind of crossover appeal. "Three Wooden Crosses" [2002] came
from a gospel album, became a No. 1 record at country radio, and "Song of the Year"
at four awards shows. It was a huge hit.
The gospel recording turned into a totally different career. It's like we were given
a gift.
What differences are there between church and country audiences?
Travis: When you are singing to a country audience, the big difference as opposed
to when we're working at a church is you're probably not doing an altar call. We
see a lot [of people accept Christ] at the performances within churches because I
will usually do a question and answer with the pastor. It's a wonderful thing to
watch the altar call after we've finished and see people accept Christ. It is the
thing we are all supposed to do. What does the Word say? Something to the effect
of, "You are saved by the blood of the cross and your testimony."
The pastor will sometimes request certain songs because a lot of the pastors actually
do listen to some country radio. So they're familiar with some of the hits from years
Are you ever asked to not sing those old songs?
Pickin' and grinnin'
Pickin' and grinnin'
No. From the beginning there hasn't been anything negative, anywhere. It has been
complete and total acceptance. It is sort of surprising, how wonderfully the Christian
community has accepted us. We've been treated like we are a part of that family from
day one.
You've also done some acting. Any new movies coming up?
I have a couple of scripts. It just depends on if the timing works out right. If
the right kinds of things come along and they seem like they would be fun to work
on, yeah, I'll do them.
Compared to the acting business, the music business looks totally sane. I've gone
to work on shows when they've not even finished casting and the writing's not been
finished. I'll get rewrites under the door at 11:30 at night when I'm just about
to go to sleep. So that business is crazy.
Critics have given harsh reviews of your films. So, with all your musical giftedness,
why even bother with acting?
[Laughs] Here's how it started. There was a performance for troops coming home from
the Gulf War, and Andy Griffith was on the show that night. I love the old
Andy Griffith Show
, so I just had to meet him. And my wife said, "Randy would love to do one of the
episodes with you."
I had so much fun doing [Matlock
], I wanted to do some other jobs. Believe me [laughs], I don't see myself as an
actor. For me acting is just trying to figure out how. The things I've had the most
fun with are things like working with Andy because I thought so much of him.
Country music seems to be experiencing a new wave of traditionalists, many directly
influenced by your music. What wisdom do you hope to hand down to this younger generation?
Do what you love. My producer, Kyle Lehning, said to me, "I wanna help you make
the best records that we can make. But ultimately it's you singing the songs every
night on the stage. So if you don't love it, don't do the song." Call it wisdom if
you want. It's just common sense to me.
On a personal level, try and find the time away from constantly working. For quite
a few years, when we would take time off it was something that we had to do just
to recuperate. So, find some rest time and enjoy doing things other than focusing
non-stop on work, because life is short.
You're turning 50 this year, but I'm not sure if you want to publicize that.
Travis: [Laughs]
I don't care. I'll be fifty on May 4. I can do anything I could do at 16—it just
hurts a little bit more.
How have your perspectives changed over the years?
After having 20-plus years and the number of singles, hits, albums—all that combined—that
you can look back on, that you can sing to a live audience, there's a comfort level
there even if I never had another hit, I'd be fine.
But at the same time there's a competitive thing that still makes me want to record
the best albums we can—and shoot for getting airplay. Christian radio's probably
never going to play me because it's more pop-oriented music, and I'm not even in
the ballpark.
What about life perspectives?
I'm far more at peace with myself, just having come to know more and more of the
Word of God, and that assurance that I will spend eternity in heaven. There were
a lot of drugs, alcohol and fighting at such a young age. I didn't know any peace
of mind, so I had a lot of growing in that area to do.
It's nice to feel that peace of everything, in everything.
Read more on Randy Travis at
I am so happy for Randy that he was open to accepting the Lord when he spoke to his heart. To know and believe, that his past is not only forgiven but forgotten. That he can feel at peace knowing that when his time here on earth is through, he has our Lord waiting at heavens gate to welcome him home and into his presense.
The following is a quote I came across some time back. It sumed it up pretty clearly for me, when the Lord came knocking at my hearts door.
I'd rather live my life believing there is a god, and die to find out there isn't. Then to live my life believing there is no god, and die to find out there is".
This was a brief mention in Album Reviews in cc magazine:
It's nice to see him getting some press on these releases.
CC Magazine
Album Alert for march 17, 2009
In the country market, Randy Travis
has several career retrospectives spanning the last 20 years. But in the Christian
division, he's yet to have a proper "best of" collection, though
Three Wooden Crosses: The Inspirational Hits
(Word) more than makes up for the void. The disc takes top tunes from several albums
recorded across the 2000s within the Word/Warner/Curb system, which are all spiritual
in nature, but still possess Travis' classic country flair.
Another nice read (see above).

Iran needs weapons to DEFEND against usOfA .intent on dominating the world one nation at a time . Alas they are like Germany over extended, fighting on to many fronts , making to many enemies . Every day the freedom fighters rally against intrusion .
I hope Iran has weapons because that is the only way they will be able to defend the middle east. Arab countries need to make China & Russia a great deal on oil, which they should give them military support in return. The middle east needs powerful allies to fight the zionists gifted technology from the U.S. With the East's large population, it can easily put together a 1-3 billion man army.
I pray that Jehovah sends large meterorites that leaves large craters where the zionist israelis are. Iran won't have to nuke them. Then there will be peace when zionists stolen land is leveled/wiped off the face of this Earth! I know it is wrong to hate, but I loath these Israeli frauds claiming to be jews. It upsets me that the U.S. are quick to defend and act like they are afraid to tell the truth about the atrocities and illegal activities, at the hands of the zionists. The whole world condemns the zionists because they blatantly kill, steal, lie, etc. Other ppl suffered worst things than the imagined holocaust
Did anyone see the unmanned submarine part? What? Now there are unmanned submarines deployed indefinitely off the coast of who knows what nation armed with either nukes or conventional weapons... either ballistic or cruise missile plus all of the unmanned aircraft? Whoa this just got real.
EU does not need USA missiles to protect it. This is just propaganda from USA to have more sites.
This is a partial balance to Israel and its Nuclear capabilities which you don't hear about much?

NEW YORK (AP) — Shares of Best Buy Co. jumped on Friday after the electronics chain showed signs of starting to reverse declining sales during the critical holiday selling season, a better-than-expected result.
Shares rose 12 percent during midday trading.
Best Buy has been facing tough competition from discounters and online retailers, as people browse electronics in stores and then go home to buy them more cheaply online, a practice known as "showrooming." To combat this, it has instituted a cost-cutting program, invested in more employee training and put an online price matching policy in place during the key holiday period of November and December. The holiday quarter accounted for about a third of Best Buy's revenue last year.
The chain said that revenue at stores open at least a year fell 1.4 percent for the nine weeks ended Jan. 5. This figure is a key gauge of a retailer's health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.
The company's U.S. performance was flat. While this was slightly below the 0.3 percent increase Best Buy reported a year ago, President and CEO Hubert Joly said in a statement that it was an better than the past several quarters.
Best Buy tapped Joly in August to help reverse its slide. Joly has made management changes, including hiring CFO Sharon McCollam in November, and embarked on a turnaround plan.
Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy said the results show that some of Best Buy's initiatives, such as increased employee training and online price matching, helped boost sales.
But he added that the company still faces bigger problems such as tough competition from sellers like Amazon.com and more and more vendors selling products to customers directly.
"Sales are incrementally positive, but Best Buy still faces an uphill battle with regard to its turnaround," he said.

I'm pretty excited. The first and only time I went to Disney World was in 5th grade, when I would have been about 10 years old. Personally, I think that's the most awkward age to go. I was too old to appreciate all the characters walking around - I knew they were just random people in suits, and that weirded me out a bit. Though I did get a photo with Scrooge McDuck, because DuckTales was awesome.Yeah 90's jean overalls, wooo!
But I was also too young to really enjoy most of the rides. I didn't get into roller coasters until I was peer pressured to go on some when I was about 17, mainly because Disney managed to scare the crap out of me for a while. My mom said we needed to go on at least one real roller coaster, and got us in line for Space Mountain despite my protestation. To this day this amazes me, since my mom hates roller coasters and wouldn't even get on the spinning teacups with me and my dad.
To make matters worse, my family ended up being in the first car. It's single file seating, so my dad was first (much to his chagrin), then me, then my mom. Now, my dad is 6'6". The whole time it looked like he was going to get decapitated by one of the rafters, so I was screaming bloody murder. But then about halfway through the ride I just stopped. The little logical side of my brain (yes, it was there at age 10) thought, "This ride is going to last for another minute. No one can stop the ride because you're screaming. Might as well just not bother."
Of course, my parents thought I had passed out.
Dad: Are you okay?!
Me: *whimpers* No.
And since I'm convinced parents are kind of sadistic at times, they think this is the funniest story ever.
Anyway, I'm super excited for my trip. I'm going to ride everything this time now that I actually like roller coasters. I never went on famous stuff like Splash Mountain, and I will conquer Space Mountain! I'm also excited to just sit around on a beach for a while. I finally found a new swim suit that fits me, so I don't have to stress about that anymore. My solution was buying a top that was much bigger than the bottom. Thank you, boobies!
The one downside for you guys is that I'm going to have limited to no internet for a week. Gasp! I'm going to try to make some posts today, but I need your help for inspiration. Either ask me random questions here in the comments, or ask me questions anonymously at formspring.me. I already have some good questions backlogged there, and I will get to them! You can also follow me on twitter, because I'm sure I'll be tweeting hilarious things and photos from my Florida adventure via phone.
Now, off I go to pack! Weeeeee!

More on CPR Instruction
CPR certification classes often cost a small fee. Many places that offer local CPR instruction charge around $25 for the certification classes. These classes generally last between four and eight hours. The length of the class will be determined on the amount of instructions that you will be receiving. Most certification classes include instructions on adult CPR, CPR for children and infants, and other types of first aid for children. Pediatric first aid and CPR is good to know even if you do not have any children of your own. You may have nieces, nephews, cousins, or any other children who may need this vital medical attention someday. The child may even be stranger that you do not know. With so many different options for local CPR instruction it is easy to find one that is convenient for you. CPR certification is a requirement for many jobs. It is also helpful and useful in obtaining jobs that do not require it. Knowing CPR can also help you save the life of someone someday. It is always best to know how to perform CPR, and first aid, even if you never have to use it. Someday it could save someone else's life or even your own.

Television Producer Donates Collection to Pepperdine
By Nate Ethell ('08, MBA '13)
Pepperdine University Libraries announced this fall the donation of executive producer Martha Williamson's collection of scripts, drafts, notes, tapes, and memorabilia from the hit CBS series Touched By An Angel. Together the materials will form the Martha Williamson Collection, benefiting those studying the art and craft of writing for television. The collection also will be a source of inspiration for those with a passion for entertainment that explores the deep issues of spirituality.
At an October 3 reception honoring Martha, dean of libraries Mark Roosa praised the collection, noting that the materials would be a "rich and unique resource for students and scholars." Ken LaZebnik, a writer for Touched By An Angel and current director of advancement and public affairs for Pepperdine Libraries, introduced his friend and former boss.
"For eight years, I wrote for Touched By An Angel, an extraordinarily long run and one I look back at with affection, laughter, and deep love for all my colleagues on the show," reflected Ken. "We wouldn't have those years together—and many of us wouldn't have our houses—without Martha. She was, and is, indomitable, funny, and articulate about all things from literature and writing to coffee and faith."
As executive producer and head writer of Touched By An Angel, Martha's style of inspirational storytelling guided the groundbreaking series for nine years, growing it into a billion-dollar franchise that reached 25 million viewers every week. Martha made television history when she became the first woman to solely executive produce two one-hour dramas simultaneously after creating Promised Land, which ran for three seasons on CBS. Her new series, Signed, Sealed, Delivered, is scheduled to debut on the Hallmark Channel in 2014.

He was recognized for his work and commitment to community colleges.
Senator George Runner (R-Antelope Valley) was recognized as Legislator of the Year for the California Community Colleges and the California Community College Trustees.
"Community colleges are an important foundation for every community in California. I believe we must work to make community colleges more accessible to every Californian," said Runner. Chancellor Marshall Drummond of the California Community Colleges said, "Senator Runner has a long-standing commitment to removing barriers for community colleges. He has helped ensure bonds are funded efficiently and expeditiously for our community college classroom facilities to accommodate students. He has also tirelessly worked to improve the plan check review process and has been a tremendous supporter of our system in all areas."
Runner was named 2007 Legislator of the Year for his years of work on securing equalization funding, for his authorship of legislation to allow more high school students to take academic summer classes and his efforts to streamline the process for community colleges to build and acquire needed facilities.
"Whether it's taking classes to learn new skills, or preparing for a new career, or working towards obtaining a degree, almost every Californian or someone in their family has benefited from a community college in some way," said Runner.
Runner was honored by the California Community Colleges last week and the California Community College Trustees in February 2007. In 1999, Runner was Legislator of the Year for the Association of California Community College Administrators.

World's largest flying model rocket to launch April 25th
Model rockets are cool enough, but this 36-foot-tall monster is the largest flying model rocket in the world. Built by Steve Eves, this Saturn V model weighs 1,600 pounds, took him 1,500 hours to build, and cost $25,000. Good thing he got some sponsors to foot that humongous bill.
This gargantuan model doesn't just sit there, either. Powered by eight (relatively) big N-Class model rocket engines and one gigantic P-Class engine, it's going to shoot up to 4,000 feet this Saturday (April 25th), and float gently back to earth using three parachutes.
Can't wait to see what happens. It's only fitting that Eves picked the Saturn V rocket for his world record attempt, inspired as a kid when he watched the largest launch vehicle ever made send the first humans to the moon. Sheesh, and we were impressed with our 12-inch-tall Estes rockets.

Competition between the top MBA programs is hot. As a student, you want to know you're getting the best education money can buy – especially when the quality of your qualification has such a big impact on your future earnings. So, to make your choice easier, we've broken down the top MBA programs in the USA and around the world.
Top MBA Programs 2011, Globally
INSEAD, the London Business School and Queen's University all rank highly alongside the well-known American universities like Harvard, Stanford and Wharton. In Canada, Ivey and Rotman both tend to rate highly for their MBA programs. Financial Times ranks the London Business School first equal in the world with Wharton in the world as an MBA institution.
The Hong Kong UST Business School is another non-US school which ranks in the Financial Times' Top 10 MBA schools, along with the IE and Iese Business Schools in Spain.
It pays to be careful when you're checking out rankings for top MBA programs, because ranking criteria can differ a lot depending on who's doing to ranking. Look at what each school is actually being ranked on before you make a decision on whether a certain set of rankings really mean anything. For example, some ratings are based on student opinions, whereas others are slanted towards the actual value employers place on the qualification from a particular school. Still others give more weight to things like graduate employment rates and average salaries. (This explains why rankings can be quite different between, say, Business Week and the Financial Times – they use different ranking criteria).
Likewise, to save time rankers often leave large numbers of schools outside of their ranking reports anyway. In other words, rankings can be a good general guide but shouldn't be taken as gospel. Looking at what employers actually say about various schools and programs may give you a better idea of which ones will give you the best edge in the job market.
Top MBA Programs in USA
Harvard and Wharton (Pennsylvania State University) business schools have long been recognized at top quality institutions when it comes to MBAs – although you often won't find them on ranking lists, because they tend to refuse to cooperate with the publications that create these lists.
Some US MBA providers you will often see on lists of business school rankings include:
- LeBow College of Business at Drexel University
- Booth School of Business at University of Chicago
- Northwestern
- Stanford
- Boston University School of Management
- Columbia Business School at Columbia University
- University of Arizona
- Dartmouth
- Cornell
- Duke University

Welcome to English at Haverford
The English department offers courses in the literary traditions of the English-speaking world. The department aims to develop in its students the ability to respond to texts thoughtfully and critically, and to articulate those responses in clear and fluent English.
In our curriculum, we seek to maintain a working balance between a commitment to the traditional canon of British and American literature and an expanding horizon of fresh concerns, including courses in African-American literature, Asian-American literature, South Asian literature, South African literature, Irish literature, gender and sexuality studies, and courses inflected by particular theoretical foci, such as performance theory, queer theory, post-colonial theory, trauma theory, media studies, and visual studies. This discipline prepares interested students for postgraduate work in English and other subjects; for advanced work in professional and business schools; and for service in government and social work.
