New Iowa Poll Shows Paul Accelerating Away From Romney

Congressman has captured more Herman Cain voters than former Governor of Massachusetts.

A new Iowa State University poll shows that Ron Paul is accelerating away from Mitt Romney in the race to capture the key Republican primary, with the Congressman placed first in front of Newt Gingrich, having captured more of former frontrunner Herman Cain's supporters than Romney.
"Paul is the first choice of 27.5 percent of 333 likely caucus-goers among the 740 registered Republicans and 200 registered independents contacted by ISU," reports KRCG.com [1]. "That's up from 20.4 percent in an ISU/Gazette/KCRG poll in November. He's followed closely by former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich whose support increased from 4.8 percent to 25.3 percent. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney came in at 17.5 percent, up from 16.3."
The results illustrate how Paul has easily outstripped Mitt Romney in capturing votes from Herman Cain supporters, after the former Godfather's Pizza CEO and national frontrunner dropped out last month.
"ISU pollsters were able to determine that Gingrich is the first choice of 38 percent of the former Cain supporters. Paul gets another 20 percent, Perry 14 percent and Romney 8.5 percent," states the report.
The survey follows another poll released Sunday night [2]which also had Paul in first place ahead of Romney in second and Gingrich in third.
The ISU poll echoes the trend of Ron Paul's supporters being the most committed, whereas Romney and Gingrich voters are far more likely to waver.
"James McCormick, professor and chair of political science at Iowa State and coordinator of the poll, says the polling found that 51 percent of those naming the libertarian-leaning Texan as their first choice are "definitely" backing him. The percentage for the next two candidates is much weaker, at 16.1 percent for Romney and 15.2 for Gingrich, McCormick said."
Ron Paul's lead over Romney is unsurprising given the aggressive campaign his team has run in Iowa. Indeed, according to a CNN report last week [3], whereas Paul's office was a hive of activity, Romney's was still closed at mid-morning.
However, despite the campaign's building momentum, the Republican establishment has gone all out to denigrate Paul's success, even rhetorically sabotaging the legitimacy of the Iowa primary.
Iowa Governor Terry Branstad, who has been offered a potential VP slot under a Romney administration, ludicrously suggested that voters should completely disregard a Ron Paul victory and instead concentrate on which order Romney and Gingrich finish.
"People are going to look at who comes in second and who comes in third," said Branstad [4], adding, ""If [Mitt] Romney comes in a strong second, it definitely helps him going into New Hampshire and the other states," comments taken to mean that Republicans should "ignore" Ron Paul, according to Politico's Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns.
Despite the fact that two out of the last three winners of the Republican primary in Iowa have gone on to become the GOP nominee, the corporate media has universally written off Paul's chances in a callous effort to pre-empt reality. They are scared stiff that Paul could establish himself as a national frontrunner, which is a very real possibility given that he has captured a greater than expected number of Herman Cain's voters, who himself was the national frontrunner before he was forced to drop out after revelations about his private life.
The snobbish, sneering attitude towards Paul that has been cultivated by the establishment has little to do with his chances of winning the overall nomination and everything to do with the guardians of the status quo being terrified of a Ron Paul administration going to war with a corrupt Washington elite, as Cenk Uygur explains in the commentary below.

no spray?

Hi! I'm a second time EPer. Last baby I used a PISA. This time around I purchased a freestyle. I'm 3 weeks PP and pump 6 times a day and get between 50-55 ounces a day. Problem is, I dont ever see a "spray" like I did with my PISA. Also, I feel like the freestyle doesn't completely empty my breasts (even with massage) and I just get drips. Thoughts? Could my supply just be regulating? I have done all the usual checks--membranes etc. I appreciate any insight!

Mmm. I don`t think that it is problem in pump per se, because I use symphony and freestyle and I get "sprays" with both.
Freestyle valves much more sensetive to correct assambley and water inside. Plus, depending on your position, tubing in part that goes to the bottles kind of stops up pretty easily if you don`t positions bottles stright. And you may miss it because nothing in sound of pump or anything changes, milk just won`t flow or flow very-very slow.
I`ve read interesting advice a couple of days ago, not sure if i seen it here: you may try apply heat during pumping. I tried it and it make some difference. I use booby tubes, but I believe sock with some rice or some warming pads might be comfortable as well.
and I think that pamping pals work pretty bad with freestyle (only the smallest works more or less ok) so maybe the same goes for medela horns.
|Sun, 09-23-2012 - 2:43pm
I`m not sure that it is always pumping problems. I believe in some women it might be problem with let down or something like this, because i get "sprays" with medela symphony half of the time. I usually getting sprays only during morning pump or if I missed my regular pumpign time. But I have let down problems.

How Do You Gather Community Consensus on Fracking?
Allegheny College, located 90 minutes north of Pittsburgh, has been nationally recognized for its sustainable initiatives. But could the green campus get a black eye if it leases land for hydraulic fracking? Right now it's the campus is considering whether or not to open portions of the college's land to the option of shale gas drilling.
PublicSource reporter Natasha Khan spoke with students, alumni, and faculty on campus about how the administration has approached the question of fracking on Allegheny College land.

text: Ferrari: A positive day today with the car working well 25 October, 2013 Team and drivers report from day one of the Indian Grand Prix weekend at the Buddh International Circuit. Fernando Alonso "It was a Friday like any other, apart from a mechanical problem this morning which reduced my track time. Fortunately, this did not affect the programme too much, with a first session given over mainly to getting used to this track again. It's always important to get the right feeling for a circuit, and especially to try the tyres, that's very important here. We also got a first idea of our race pace and also the rate of tyre degradation: we must take into account that track conditions on Sunday will be very different to today's. The situation is not that different to recent races. We are a bit behind in performance terms and tomorrow we must try and get a good starting position to get away well in the race and make it to the podium". Felipe Massa "A positive day today, with the car working well and I hope that on Sunday things will end up even better, because I like this track a lot. On my first lap with the Softs, I didn't manage to set a good time because of the traffic, but I am quite pleased with the race simulation I did in the afternoon, because on the Medium tyres, I managed to do a lot of laps and that's a very interesting point in terms of the race. Degradation is not that high here and so I don't think [that] we will see a lot of pit stops, even if we will have to be careful with the Soft tyres in the first stint because of blistering. The team to beat is still Red Bull, but we have to see how the other cars will perform, especially in qualifying, because Mercedes and Lotus are very quick. As usual, we will have to push to the maximum". Pat Fry "A problem on Fernando's gearbox restricted his running in the morning session to just six laps. Some components were changed for reliability reasons and that got him back out on track in the afternoon, when he made up for lost time, working on set-up and the general balance of the car. With both drivers we tried to adapt the aerodynamic downforce to the amount of grip available from this track, as it gradually improved. Looking ahead to the race, today it was important for us to understand the behaviour of the tyres chosen for this track by Pirelli over a long run. It was the usual Friday in that the time sheet has little significance, but it did supply worthwhile clues for the race and the data relating to our pace is encouraging. We just need to pay close attention to the performance of the two compounds, starting with tomorrow's qualifying to work out the best race strategy". Subbed by AJN.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered all of my wedding invitations, save-the dates, thank you cards, etc from wedding paper divas and EVERY SINGLE thing I ordered was perfect. My proofs were done quickly, I received the items early and was beyond excited to open every one. WPD is a wonderful company, great customer service and very professional. Highly, highly recommend them."
"It took several rounds of redesigning the card to get the layout and colours exactly how we wanted them but the designer was very quick with creating and sending us the changes we wanted. The cards are beautiful, simple yet sophisticated and everyone complimented us on the cards! The square shape is hard to mail, we had to buy extra envelopes to mail them in! Just keep that in mind. All in all a good experience and I'll be buying my wedding invitations from weddingpaperdivas.com"
"I just received my "saved the date"cards. I must say they look great. Job well done. Pictures look great just the way i customized them . Arrived very fast even i think the price for two days express delivery is too high but i still recomend it."
"I ordered this in blush pink for my save the dates and customized the text. I got a response the very next day from a designer who had already reviewed my order, created exactly what I wanted, and worked with me on every detail I requested. I have ordered from this company three times, and I would recommend them over any other wedding invitation site. I have been blown away with the service given to me as a customer, quality of the save the dates and wedding invitations and suite items that I ordered, and timing in which I received them."
"I absolutely love these save the dates! The design and ordering process was incredibly easy. I received them quickly and was very pleased with their quality. The paper is thick and beautifully textured! I would have chosen a different envelope color, though. The metallic gold is very pretty, but was difficult to find a pen that would show up well."

Il mondo della luna
|Joseph Haydn
Il mondo della luna (The World on the Moon), Hob. 28/7, is an opera buffa by Joseph Haydn with a libretto by Carlo Goldoni, first performed at Eszterháza, Hungary on 3 August 1777. Goldoni's libretto had previously been set by four other composers, first by the composer Baldassare Galuppi and performed in Venice in the carnival of 1750. It was then adapted for Haydn's version of the opera, which would be performed during the wedding celebrations of Count Nikolaus Esterházy, the younger son of Haydn's patron, Prince Nikolaus Esterházy, and the Countess Maria Anna Wissenwolf.[1] It is sometimes performed as a singspiel under its German title Die Welt auf dem Monde.[2]
The work is perhaps one of the earliest examples of science fiction in 18th century opera.
|Voice type
|Premiere Cast,[3] August 3, 1777
(Conductor: Joseph Haydn)
|Ecclitico, a would-be astrologer
|Ernesto, a cavalier
|contralto castrato
|Pietro Gherardi
|Benedetto Bianchi
|Clarice, daughter of Buonafede
|Catarina Poschwa
|Flaminia, another daughter of Buonafede
|Marianna Puttler
|Lisetta, maid of Buonafede
|Cecco, servant of Ernesto
|Leopold Dichtler
|Four scholars and noblemen
The roles of Ecclitico and Lisetta were written for Guglielmo Jermoli and his wife Maria Jermoli, but they left Eszterháza shortly before the premiere.[3]
The opera is scored for two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, strings, continuo.
Act 1[edit]
A terrace in the house of the bogus astronomer Ecclitico; an observatory tower with a telescope. A starlit night, with full moon
Ecclitico and his four students sing a hymn to the moon, and Ecclitico boasts of how he can dupe the foolish - such as Buonafede, who now appears. Buonafede does not have a clue what the moon is. Ecclitico explains to him that through his powerful telescope he will be able to see the moon's transparent surface all the way through the houses and able to spy on ladies as they undress before going to bed. Buonafede then attempts to view the moon through Ecclitico's telescope while Ecclitico's servants move caricatures in front of the telescope's lens. The trick works: Buonafede describes what he thinks he has seen: a very beautiful young girl caressing an old man, a husband ready to punish his wife for her infidelity, and a man who completely dominates his female lover. He rewards Ecclitico with some coins and leaves. Alone, Ecclitico muses that it is not the old man's money he wants, but to wed his daughter Clarice. Ernesto, a nobleman who is in love with Clarice's sister Flaminia, and his servant Cecco (in love with Buonafede's servant, Lisetta) now join Ecclitico. Buonafede intends to marry the sisters off to rich suitors. Ecclitico assures Ernesto and Cecco that with a little money all their difficulties will be solved. In a more serious aria ("Begli occhi vezzosi"), Ernesto sings of Flaminia's eyes and awaits impatiently the moment in which the two of them will spend their lives together. Cecco, for his part, is convinced that everyone's playing games and insistently points out the comic side of life.
A room in Buonafede's house
The sisters Clarice and Flaminia dream of escaping their tyrannical father. In a long aria, Flaminia recognises that even if reason is to dominate the soul, when love intervenes it takes control of everything. Buonafede mocks Clarice's stubbornness but she answers back, threatening him that she will find a husband for herself if he is not capable of providing one for her. The two sisters are clearly differentiated: Clarice is down to earth and her arias are full of determined pragmatism. Buonafede invites Lisetta (his daughters' maid) to share the wonders he has seen through the telescope, in an attempt to win her over. Interested in his money, she reassures him of her love for him, her fidelity and her virtues, none of which is true. Ecclitico arrives and tells Buonafede that the Emperor of the Moon has invited him to his court. By drinking an elixir he will be transported to the moon. Buonafede is tempted to travel with him and, therefore, asks for some of the liquor. Ecclitico agrees and, pretending to drink half of it, gives the rest to Buonafede who drinks it, falls asleep, and dreams of flying to the moon. Clarice and Lisetta believe at first that he is dead, then console themselves with the inheritance they will be getting.
Act 2[edit]
Ecclitico's garden, decorated so as to convince Buonafede that he is on the moon
Ecclitico and Ernesto discuss the progress of their plot, and when Buonafede awakens he is convinced he is on the moon.[4] He is entertained by a ballet and clothed in elegant gowns. Ecclitico tells him that he will be joined by his daughters and servant. According to lunar custom the women will be meek. Cecco appears disguised as the Emperor of the Moon, with Ernesto as the star Hesperus. Buonafede, delighted with life on the moon, is entertained by another ballet. When Lisetta enters, Buonafede tries to court her, but Cecco asks her to become Empress of the Moon. Lisetta, not fully aware of the plot, is at first puzzled. The two daughters arrive and pay homage to the Emperor in a nonsense ceremony. Flaminia goes off with Ernesto and Clarice with Ecclitico, while Cecco prepares to crown Lisetta as Empress. In the confusion of the masquerade, Buonafede is tricked into consenting to the three marriages, only realising that he has been duped when it is too late.
Act 3[edit]
A room in Ecclitico's house
The conspirators, back in normal dress, have locked Buonafede in his own house - the price of his freedom will be forgiveness for his daughters and their dowries. At last he yields.
A starlit night with a full moon
Clarice and Ecclitico sing of their love. Buonafede repents of his previous strictness and there is general rejoicing and celebration.
The overture in C major is notable for its long development section and symphonic character. Re-used with reduced orchestration as the first movement of his Symphony No 63, in the opera it finishes on an open cadence.[3]
Throughout the opera the key of E flat is associated with the moon; the 18th century often linked the key with darkness and sleep.[3]
In this opera Haydn moved to a new level of inspiration in the noble arias he writes for his serious characters Flaminia and Ernesto and the evocative music for the flight to the moon in Act 1.[5] Several numbers (vocal and instrumental) combine triple metre and a slow to moderato tempo. Flaminia's Act I "Ragion nell'alma siede" has the typical form and coloratura of opera seria, while Lisetta's "Se lo comanda" in Act II mixes comic and serious styles.[3]
The ballet interludes in act 2 create an imaginary world with off-stage horns and bassoons and string harmonics. By contrast the G minor sinfonia which starts act 3 depicts the inner rage of the duped Buonafede.[3]
Haydn re-used parts of the opera in trios for flute, violin and cello (Hob IV:6-11) and Ernesto's "Qualche volta non fa male" become the Benedictus of the Mariazeller Mass (Hob XXII:8).[6]
Performance history[edit]
The opera was conducted by Giulini at the Holland Festival in 1959.[6]
Jeff Clarke's The English Players revived the opera in 1992, and many other small and student opera companies have done so. Clarke's Opera della Luna, named for the piece, presented the work at the Ilford Opera Festival in 2006.[7]
More recently a co-production was seen at the Berlin Staatsoper and Innsbruck Festival in 2002 conducted by René Jacobs, the work was presented as part of the 2008 Drottningholm Festival, and was produced in Vienna in December 2009, conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, with Vivica Genaux. The Gotham Chamber Opera presented Il mondo della luna at the Hayden Planetarium in New York City in January 2010, transforming the planetarium into an opera house using the 180-degree dome and projections courtesy of NASA; the director was Diane Paulus.[8]
Since December 2013 a production of this work has formed a part of the repertoire of the Moscow Chamber Musical Theatre named after Boris Pokrovsky.[9] In October/November 2014, English Touring Opera took a new production of the work - titled Life on the Moon - on tour throughout England. [10][11]

Total Slow Stick Kit
FYI www.allerc.com just added a Slow Stick Total Kit to their website with savings on the combo. I notice Dave also allows some options. Finally you can get everything you need to build and fly a Slow Stick in one order and get some choices of Radios ETC. Check it out you new SS builders. Been trying to convince GWS to do this since the SS came out!

Ok I'm sick of this crap need a cheap METAL gear box. I barly nosed in today dur to grass, no broke prop but smashed the gear case. Tried one I glued and it got about 30 FT the fell off. I saw one but it was over 30 bucks. anyone make there own?
|Feb 03, 2005, 02:54 PM
Stick with the GWS box. A screw through the side will hold it on. Replacing it with a stronger box merely means a broken motor or bent fuse next time. If something must break, It's a good thing that it is a cheap part.

Durn Arizona wind!
I got a little $20 Vivitar digital from Walmart and set it up with a servo on my landing gear Ch5. I'm dying to fly it but the wind has been 30 mph+ all week As soon as I do I'll post the pics and some of the camera if anyone is interested in a cheap SS AP set up...

SS Almost Done.. i have a couple (more) questions
Hello all.. the SS is almost done but I notice that the tail wing just isnt level and straight (nothing ever is that i assemble! LOL) will this be a really bad problem? LOL..
I need to also get some information on putting the main wings and parts on the thing.. like measurements and "where" they should go in relation to the center of gravity.
Also i need some information on putting these Deans Micro Plugs on my LiPo battery...i was suggested to get 2 packs and change the ends on the charger and the ends on the battery... (the batt has no ends as it sits)
Heres a pic of what i have:
Any info would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks guys!

Boomer, when I balance the plane on my stand, it is almost flat, maybe 2-3 inches from horizontal. Would that have a large effect on handling? Should I be checking it after every hard landing/crash?
|Feb 04, 2005, 06:38 AM
THose are the wrong plugs - you wanted the deans Ultras....but dont let that stop you. They'll work for the time being. Just order the ultras soon and replace when convenient.
Those are polarized plugs, meaning they cant be plugged in backwards. Note theres one pin on each and one socket. You'll need to be doubly sure that when everything is finished, your red wire goes to red and black goes to black.
Tip: you must slip the heat shrink tube onto the wire BEFORE you solder, otherwise you cant get it on. I like to hold the tubing onto the wire several inches back from the joint with a piece of scotch tape so it doesnt fall into the heated area and shrink up before you want it to. After the joint has cooled some, remove the tape, and slip the tubing over the joint. Hold a match or lighter several inches below to shrink it up.
Its extremely important to NOT accidentally short across the battery leads when your soldering. This is a lesson you really almost hafta learn the hard way, but do take precautions. Its wise to do one wire completely, including heatshrink tubing, while the second wire is taped up out of the way.
As for the tail, you need to determine if its the tail, wing landing gear or fuse thats crooked. Place two soda cans on a flat table. Remove landing gear. Rest the fuse on the soda cans (front and rear of the fuse) so you know the fuse is level & square with the ground. If the fuse is twisted, one corner will be a little high. If the tail is level, then likely your landing gear isnt bent exactly right - dont worry about that at all. If one wingtip is higher than the other, see if you can just shim the opposite wingseat to even em up.
If the fuse is level & the tail is not, then drive a wedge (toothpick, balsa, folded cardboard ...get creative) on the high-side between the tail & fuse.

Help!!! Plane stuck 50' up in tree.
I shouldn't have been flying this late. It was getting dark and I hadn't flown in over 3 weeks. I had already drained a partially charged battery and said, "OK I can fly some more." In the failing light I lost my orientation and stalled my SS about 5 feet over an Elm tree. It is in my yard and I still have some power left on the battery and can see the LED on my ESC blinking, but don't have enough torque to spin the prop. It is caught in some twigs right at the top of the tree. I don't have the strength to throw anything that high to hit it and my aim is not good enough to shoot the twigs out from under it with my .22. I even pulled out the .35 Rem and my 12 guage with OO buck and still couldn't chew the limbs up enough to drop the plane. I am out of daylight and ideas. I can't afford to loose everything to the elements by the time the wind blows it down.
Does anyone have any ideas besides renting a cherry picker.
|Feb 04, 2005, 08:23 PM
One quart plastic jug filled with dirt or sand. Tie a strong twine or thin rope to handle. You should be able to throw it high enough to grab the branches, then just tug away to shake the plane down.

Allow me to share with you the most beautiful thing I've ever seen today … but first, let me set the scene: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are out on the town, shopping in — where else? — Paris, and man, that Kim is so super pregnant. I feel sort of bad for her, like having all that extra belly and boobs and butt to carry around on her little body could be causing her physical pain. But even if all that stuff were, in fact, causing her physical pain, her dumbass babydaddy Kanye could not care less, and he doesn't care if you know it. Please watch as Kanye jumps out of his black Porsche and wanders over to the passenger side in what almost (almost!) appears to be an attempt to help Kim exit the vehicle… and then he just stands there and waits for her to get out. And then! They walk up onto the curb to enter — where else? — Givenchy… and he stands there and waits for her to open the door once again. SMDH. Would it be completely out of line for me to say that even Kim Kardashian deserves better? [Concrete Loop]

Allstate Corp. (ALL:US), the biggest publicly traded U.S. home and auto insurer, gained the most since October after posting its largest profit since 2007.
Allstate jumped (ALL:US) 5.8 percent to $34.82 at 9:36 a.m. in New York, leading the 24-company KBW Insurance Index. The insurer's shares climbed 20 percent this year through yesterday.
Net income (ALL:US) rose to $766 million, or $1.53 a share, from $524 million, or 98 cents, a year earlier, as catastrophe costs declined and policy sales increased, the Northbrook, Illinois- based firm said yesterday in a statement. Allstate booked $259 million in disaster costs, compared with $333 million a year earlier. Sales rose after Allstate purchased online car- insurance seller Esurance and raised premiums for some coverage.
"We see the firm's unique, best-in-class pricing power as the primary driver that will drive earnings and sentiment for this now more fairly valued, but still unloved, stock," analysts at Sanford C. Bernstein led by Josh Stirling wrote in a research note today. The analysts rate the shares "outperform" and raised their price target to $38 from $34.
Premium revenue in Allstate's property and liability business rose to $6.63 billion from $6.45 billion a year earlier as the company added Esurance customers. The insurer made 7.9 cents for every premium dollar in its property and liability coverage compared with 5.1 cents a year earlier.
Allstate booked lower catastrophe costs in the quarter, in part, because it determined it had set aside more money than necessary for claims in prior quarters, according to an April 19 statement.

PAMCO Expands Government Marketing Services To Small Businesses
RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Post-Award Marketing Company ( PAMCO) today announced an expansion of their award-winning government marketing services to focus on small and medium sized businesses (SBA's). At the core of their strategy are companies with newly awarded GSA Contracts.
"Many small businesses believe that once they are on schedule (with the General Services Administration), they can sit back and the contracts will just materialize – nothing could be further from the truth," states Angela Hale, Director of Operations at PAMCO. She continues, "Selling to the government requires a well thought out and strategized approach that includes government specific research and marketing. Working within GSA guidelines, businesses are required to register their products on GSA Advantage and regularly monitor bid opportunities."
Approximately $40 billion was allocated annually to GSA purchases and further, Congress has mandated 25% of procurement spending be allocated to small businesses.

(Updates share price in final paragraph.)
Sept. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Verizon Communications Inc., the second-largest U.S. phone company, said storms including Hurricane Irene that followed a strike by some employees have cost it as much as $250 million this quarter.
"The catastrophic event has really taken an impact," said Verizon Chief Financial Officer Fran Shammo today at a Bank of America Corp. conference in Beverly Hills, California, referring to the storm that followed an August strike by workers. "Putting that all together, where we stand today we are two to three weeks from getting the repair and maintenance flows back to normal."
About 45,000 of the New York-based company's employees went on strike between Aug. 7 and Aug. 22. Days after they returned, a backlog in cable installations and repairs was magnified by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. The employees were working overtime with three times the normal repair load, Shammo said. The company is still managing a backlog of about 90 days for installations.
Verizon continues to negotiate with the employees who are represented by the Communications Workers of America and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers unions.
AT&T, T-Mobile
Shammo also said the government's move to block the $39 billion bid by AT&T Inc., the biggest U.S. phone carrier and second-largest wireless operator, for Deutsche Telekom AG's T- Mobile USA shows the difficulty for companies in acquiring spectrum, and a need for reform. The proposed deal would allow AT&T to surpass Verizon Wireless as the No. 1 U.S. mobile operator.
"If you're not going to allow a carrier who needs spectrum to acquire that spectrum that is an industry issue," he said "That really applies to all of us."
Verizon is set to run out of spectrum -- the government- licensed radio frequencies used in wireless communications -- in 2015, and is "always looking" for a way to acquire more, he said.
The company rose 10 cents to $35.60 at 4:02 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares are little changed this year.

Product description
Nikki Glass can track down any man. But when her latest client turns out to be a true descendant of Hades, Nikki now discovers she can't die. Crazy as it sounds, Nikki's manhunting skills are literally god-given. She's a living, breathing descendant of Artemis who has stepped right into a trap set by the children of the gods. Nikki's new "friends" include a descendant of Eros, who uses sex as a weapon; a descendant of Loki, whose tricks are no laughing matter; and a half-mad descendant of Kali who thinks she's a spy. But most powerful of all are the Olympians, a rival clan of immortals seeking to destroy all Descendants who refuse to bow down to them. In the eternal battle of good god/bad god, Nikki would make a divine weapon. But if they think she'll surrender without a fight, the gods must be crazy.

University of Arizona senior Greg Cranwell was walking on campus when, he says, "I was looking down at the flagstone and thought I saw something. I was unsure but I thought 'what's it going to hurt if I just look?'" He found he was walking on 270 million-year-old footprints. He says, "I ran to the campus president and told her that we needed to get this thing out immediately and she said that with a little more convincing she would have the slab pulled."
Ashley Nowe writes in the Arizona Daily Wildcat that Cranwell spent hours looking at photographs of the ancient footprints, comparing them with documented fossil tracks. "It was like comparing apples and oranges," he says. "It doesn't take a genius to know if the prints match or not."
After sending photos of the prints to paleontologists, Cranwell was able to confirm that they belonged to a mammal-like animal called chelichnus duncani, which was about a foot high and reptilian. It lived in northern Arizona during the Permian Period, the last period before the rise of dinosaurs. "I was so excited when Greg showed me the prints that I called over one of my students walking by and said, 'Here look at these tracks,'" says professor John Zumbrunnen.
Though other chelichnus duncani prints have been found, these are the clearest ones that have ever been discovered. "It was just as though the sand were wet and it happened today," Cranwell says. "I spent a half an hour just staring at it in awe." He could see where the tracks changed direction, as well as distinct claw imprints.
Cranwell is a physics major, not a student of paleontology, but despite that, this is his second major discovery. Two years ago, he discovered dinosaur bones 25 miles outside of Tucson. Geoscientist Karl Flessa says, "Similar tracks have been documented, but it is neat that he made the discovery in a decorative slab of flagstone."
If you learn enough about the past, you can rewrite history.

BOISE — Two principals at failed western resorts are trying to recoup money they lost when their developments imploded by joining a lawsuit against Credit Suisse Group, the Associated Press reported.
Alfredo Miguel of Tamarack Resort in Idaho and Tim Blixseth of Montana's Yellowstone Club asked a federal judge for permission to join plaintiffs in a 2010 lawsuit contending the Zurich-based bank used a predatory lending scheme to defraud them.
Miguel and Blixseth contend "shoddy, deceitful, misleading and fraudulent appraisals" led to bloated loans that were doomed to fail, costing innocent borrowers and others dearly.
Meanwhile, they say Credit Suisse protected itself by syndicating the loans.
Miguel also alleges Credit Suisse and a loan syndicate member tried to shake him down for $1.2 million in exchange for releasing him from a personal guarantee for the loan.

This is one of the most heartwarming, fuzzy-feeling inducing fics I've read in a long time.
moar please
Hey guys!
A couple of things.
Firstly, I'm not banned! I actually had no idea such a thing happened (or is happening?), but yeah! Not banned.
Secondly, I'd like to apologise deeply for just disappearing without a word. That was a rather dickish thing for me to do, but I hadn't posted because I was running a bit low on inspiration, and I eventually just completely forgot I even made this thread. I'm also finally employed, and that takes up a lot of my free time.
But since the League has had a couple of new additions, maybe I can come up with something. If I remember. But don't take that to heart, it could go either way!
Thought I should give an update.

Movies: Face Fucking Inc. 9
Director Joey Silvera always manages to bring out the colorful personalities of the girls in his movies, and a little insight into their lustful motivation makes the filmed carnal knowledge more sexually involving. So Joey's Face Fucking Inc. 9 continues two traditions: It's a gag spit-soaked presentation of rough oral sex, and it's a peek into the adventurous sexuality of cute, young horndogs who truly like getting their throats plowed by penis as their noses are pinched shut. Across eight scenes, Joey and his studs administer oral roto-rooterings that leave make-up trashed, eyes red and watering, and girls wallowing first in the flowing gag spit they regurgitate, then in the semen strands their tireless cocksucking conjures. Redheaded Violet Monroe is a talented deep-throater. When Joey's not fucking the face of cute, little Filipina-American Lucky Starr, she's stuffing that face up his ass. Ruby Red and Audrey Lords are two more nasty natural redheads who belch forth heavy waves of spit through deep-throat face-fuckings with their heads hanging upside-down from a couch. Asian-American cutie Carmina Kai speaks dirty Vietnamese as three cocks compete to cram her pie hole. Sasha Yung, an adorable Canadian of Asian descent, wears braces and her real high school cheerleader outfit as she sucks and fucks a dominant stud. Big-assed, verbally playful Kelly Divine seduces a construction worker and threatens to walk him back to his job with her face caked in his cum. Cassandra Calogera and Sierra Skye are real life roommates and best friends who could be twins with their matching pairs of pendulous, heavy fun bags. They share two cocks for deep-throating and cum flavored kisses. With authoritative verbal filth, real life dominant Mistress Aiden Starr subjects volunteer slave Claudia Valentine to an intense face-fuck regimen in which a stud's cock dredges extreme gagging from her nose and mouth. And after each scene, when the girls are gasping and spent, Joey's inimitable interviews show the joy these girls find in their breathless submission to cock.
