All-Star Teheran, rookie deGrom meet again
Braves, Mets righties square off for second time in six days
For the second time in a week, it'll be Jacob deGrom and Julio Teheran on the hill as the Mets and Braves continue their series.
The two young pitchers will take the mound at Citi Field on Tuesday for the first time since they opposed each other at Turner Field in Atlanta last Wednesday.
Teheran bested deGrom that day after the Braves jumped on the rookie for a trio of two-out runs in the first inning.
"We've been doing a great job with the little things," Teheran said after the win. "That is something that is getting good for the team. I think we need to keep doing that and we'll be fine."
DeGrom hurled four scoreless innings after the rough opening frame, but Teheran countered with seven innings of one-run ball.
The start lowered Teheran's ERA to 2.29, and on Sunday, he was named to the All-Star Game for the first time. However, the National League Cy Young Award contender is in line to start Sunday, which would make him ineligible to pitch in the Midsummer Classic.
"He knows what he's doing. That's why he's been so successful," Mets manager Terry Collins said after Teheran's last outing. "He pitches to both parts of the plate and keeps you off balance. He's tough to hit and you can't let him get a lead. We didn't have much of an opportunity."
Mets: Campbell proving worthy in utility role
• With a right-handed starter on the mound for Atlanta, Eric Campbell likely won't be in the starting lineup -- but that doesn't mean he won't affect the final score.
The utility man has thrived since arriving in New York in early May. He ran his hitting streak to eight games and his batting average sits a .340 with nine extra-base hits and nine RBIs.
While recently filling in for David Wright at third base, he went 13-for-28.
"He's probably more of a bench guy right now. That's what he came here to do," Collins said. "Those guys, when you need them when someone goes down for a period of time, they step up and he's stepped up. He's done an outstanding job of doing that. What we need from him right now is to come off the bench at certain times in the game and get a big hit."
Campbell is 5-for-11 with three doubles and three walks as a pinch-hitter. Collins credited Campbell's "quiet" swing for that success.
Braves: Gattis not expected back right after break
Evan Gattis, who has been sidelined since Jun 27 with a bulging thoracic disc, isn't expected to return from the disabled list immediately after the All-Star break, but his manager is still hopeful for a return in the next few weeks.
If all goes well, Gattis may be able to catch some bullpen sessions when the Braves travel to Chicago this weekend to face the Cubs. Swinging a bat, though, still seems unlikely and Gattis' return will have to wait a bit longer.
"If he's only going to catch bullpens by this Saturday or Sunday," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said, "he won't come out [until] after the break."
Worth noting
• The Mets' 4-3 win Monday was the 3,999th in franchise history.
• The last 10 runs the Braves have scored against the Mets have come with two outs.

do you think that it is possible for any of the children in the game to die?
the death or killing of a child is usually to controversial to get in a game, so this could mean that we should play the game knowing that a child wont die.
i have tried very hard (dont think its possible) to agree with larry and kill duck, but i could never do it, so does this mean children cant die?

As Soler debuts, Turner to make first Cubs start
Chicago continuing to get good looks at future; Reds counter with Latos
Wednesday's game in Cincinnati will give Cubs fans their first long look at two faces they hope will be a big part of their future as Jorge Soler will join the lineup and Jacob Turner will take the mound.
Soler, a 22-year-old from Cuba, has been on the radar of Cubs fans since he was signed to a nine-year, $30 million contract in 2012. He'll join Javier Baez as the second member of the team's "core four" prospects in the Major Leagues.
The outfielder is the Cubs' No. 5 prospect, according to MLB.com, and posted a .340/.432/.700 line with 15 home runs and 57 RBIs this season between the Cubs' Rookie league (rehab games), Double-A and Triple-A affiliates.
"We're starting to see that light at the end of the tunnel," said Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo after Soler's Monday callup. "There's always an expectation to win, but with these guys coming up, they're going to be patient and let them develop and get their at-bats in, but at the same time, we want to win, too."
Turner is a much newer part of Chicago's plans, having just been acquired in a trade with the Marlins on Aug. 8. He's made two relief appearances since the trade, but this will mark his first Cubs appearance as a starter, the role he filled most of the time for Miami.
"He's come in, relieved for us, I think he's done well," said Cubs manager Rick Renteria. "I know he sees himself as a starter, which I think everybody does. I think we just want to see him pitch. We just want to see how he does. We want to encourage him, we're trying to stay as positive as possible."
In two career starts against the Reds, Turner is 1-1 with a 4.09 ERA, including a start earlier this month when he was hit hard for five runs on nine hits over four innings.
The Reds will counter with Mat Latos, who's just returning from the birth of his first child, a son, on Monday. Latos is 6-2 in 10 career starts against the Cubs, accumulating a 2.66 ERA over 64 1/3 innings.
He's coming off a six-inning outing against Atlanta in which he limited the damage to one run despite giving up nine hits.
Cubs: Russell among prospects slated for Arizona Fall League
Shortstop Addison Russell, ranked No. 3 on MLB.com's list of the Cubs' Top 20 prospects and No. 6 on MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects list, will play for the Mesa Solar Sox in the Arizona Fall League.
The Cubs acquired the shortstop on July 4 from the Athletics in a deal involving right-handers Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel. Russell is batting .297 in 62 games this season, and since joining Double-A Tennessee, he has hit .297 with 12 home runs and 10 doubles in 44 games.
A strong right-handed hitter, the 20-year-old Russell batted .282 in 21 games for the Solar Sox last year, and he was teammates with Cubs prospects Kris Bryant, Albert Almora, Soler, Wes Darvill, Dallas Beeler, Matt Loosen, Armando Rivero and Lendy Castillo. This year, Castillo will be reunited with some of his teammates from the A's Minor League system who will also be with Mesa.
Reds: Mesoraco gets well-timed night off
Catcher Devin Mesoraco got his usual night off on Tuesday with Brayan Pena catching for starter Johnny Cueto. The day off might be a good time for Mesoraco, who is 0-for-11 on the homestand and 1-for-his-last-32. It's dropped his average from .301 to .273.
"It's not so much the day off, it's really getting back to being himself at the plate," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "He's doing a nice job behind the plate blocking. I don't know if anybody is taking a lot of notice, but he's doing a terrific job behind the plate blocking and throwing. He's much improved, as is Brayan Pena, in large part to the work done with [catching coach] Mike Stefanski. I'm really happy with that.
"However, he has struggled with the bat here. A little bit more time addressing that with [hitting coach Don Long] and [assistant hitting coach Lee Tinsley] probably is helpful."
Worth noting
• The Reds are 10-1-1 in 12 series against divisional rivals Chicago, Milwaukee and Pittsburgh.
• Soler will be the eighth player to make his Major League debut for the Cubs this season.

Are you sure you just don't notice the tearing?
I've been to the Ubuntu forums and I'd say 90% of the people posting with ATI cards are saying they see tearing even if they try OpenGL output.
This is what I've said here but the ATI fanatics just criticize it but I guess they don't realize the point. There's NO consistency. There's even been some people state that maybe they are not seeing the tearing. I don't understand how the same card would have tearing yet other cards of the same model won't. If you use the same video output, same driver ver. and same or similar x-server???
What the other guy saying that this 'amateurish' and the Nvidia driver doesn't do this is making the point that driver STAYS CONSISTENT. You can get the same result. How come no one can understand this?!?
Yeah, I keep asking because there's no answer that comes up the same each time. You have to have settings A, B, NOT C and then D for crying out loud!!! Some other ATI owners of HD 4xxx cards are asserting there's tearing and yet there's some people that say, there's none. Indeed, the only thing would be to BUY a card myself but if I get tearing, that's at least $100 investment. I'm trying to be a Linux user, here. If I used Windows exclusively, I'd have already bought a card by now. If I didn't care about open source, I would have bought Nvidia long ago.

Dosinda Alvite
When I reflect on what I enjoy most about teaching my answer comes immediately: I am in the business of thinking. I view teaching as a multidirectional learning process especially successful at the liberal arts college, where we connect all fields of knowledge to establish intellectual foundations for life-long learning. Teaching at Denison University has given me a renewed desire to learn as I feel inspired by my colleagues' examples and the students' demands for excellence.
There are three goals that animate my teaching: I put students at the center of the learning process, I help them develop their self-awareness and intrinsic motivation (which I think are indispensable for life-long learning), and I provide collaborative learning environments as I see them critical to educating responsible citizens.
Specific themes that I incorporate into my classes are:
- Critical thought, active intellectual and social engagement, collaborative learning.
- Global and local identities: migration movements, nationalism.
- Gender identity. Representation and power of religious groups. Ethnic/race identification.
- Service learning pedagogy.
My teaching at Denison University is enhanced by my specialization in contemporary literatures and cultures of Spain. These are some topics I examine in my research, and that we analyze in most of my classes:
- 20th Century Peninsular literature, especially novel, with a cultural studies approach.
- Spanish peninsular film and women studies.
- Literature and cultures of Equatorial Guinea.
- Africa-Spain and Trans-Atlantic connections in history of thought.
- Sefarad.
- Service learning philosophies.
Belinda Andrews-Smith
Dr. Belinda Andrews-Smith is the Coordinator of Vocal Studies and the director of Singer's Theatre Workshop for the Denison Music Department.
An accomplished classical singer, Dr. Smith has been a featured soloist in numerous performances of oratorios and operas including her favorites; The Queen of the Night (The Magic Flute), with OSU and OU opera theatre and The Queen of the Fairies (Iolanthe) with Opera Columbus.
Dr. Smith's research interests are intermingled with voice science and healthy vocal production in all singing styles. She is trained in both commercial and classical singing techniques including belt technique. Her musical theatre students have won awards for their singing every year for over ten years at the state level NATS competitions and former students are performing on and off Broadway, in regional theaters, and in National Broadway tours.
The ensemble Dr. Smith created at Denison, Singer's Theatre Workshop, has become an extension of her unique vocal pedagogy and classical training. This popular course takes the voice studio to the stage. Singer's Theatre Workshop has presented more than 30 musicals and operettas during Dr. Smith's directing career at Denison and her productions have become "standing room only" events on campus.
Lauren Araiza
"Dr. Lauren Araiza joined the faculty at Denison in the spring of 2007. She teaches survey courses in African-American history and the U.S. since 1865. She also offers seminars on the Civil Rights Movement, the intellectual history of Black Power, the American West, and comparative social movements. Her other teaching interests include labor history, comparative race and ethnicity, and oral history.
Dr. Araiza's first book, To March for Others: The Black Freedom Struggle and the United Farm Workers, was published in the fall of 2013 by the University of Pennsylvania Press. Her book examines the complexities of multiracial coalition building in Amerian social movements by examining the relationships between the major organizations of the black freedom struggle and the UFW, a union of primarily Mexican American farm workers. Dr. Araiza has also published in the Journal of African American History and has contributed an essay to the edited collection, The Struggle in Black and Brown: African American and Mexican American Relations During the Civil Rights Era (University of Nebraska Press, 2011).
Dr. Araiza received her BA from Williams College and her MA and PhD from the University of California, Berkeley."
Christine Armstrong
When I started my college studies, my professional path was quite clear: I would become a professor of English in France. But life has a way to bring wonderful and unforeseen opportunities leading me to this small liberal arts college where I have enjoyed sharing my love for the French language, literature, and culture.
For each French course I teach my main objectives are to help my students develop their linguistic skills as well as a deeper cultural and literary appreciation for the French-speaking world, which will in turn allow them to become more mindful individuals who will enjoy communicating with people from 32 countries. Every speech act is a cultural act, every literary text is a cultural and ideological artifact which must be examined from various perspectives, critiqued, deconstructed in order to discover its subtleties and sometimes its contradictions. Therefore, I encourage my students to engage in this multi-faceted learning and to reassess their gender-, class- and nation-centered views and expectations.
My latest courses examine French gastronomy as an instrument of religious, political, and colonial power. Issues of national, social, and sexual identity are often at the center of my literature courses.
Since my teaching is vastly informed by my research, you will not be surprised to learn that I have written on food symbolism in literary texts, identity issues of marginalized characters in fictions from the Middle Ages and the 20th Century, and teaching grammar through fairy tales. Fascinated by French novelist and Literature Nobel prize winner André Gide's works, his fictions remain at the core of my literary analyses. My two current projects entail a translation into English of Gide's farce Les caves du Vatican, and a manuscript on food as a social marker of ostracization in Gide's fictional works.
I have served on many university-wide committees. I am especially interested in enhancing student residential and academic life. Particularly involved in extracurricular activities, you will find me chatting at our weekly conversation group (café francophone), cooking with our French students in our Language and Culture House, playing pétanque, and attending the Richmond Film Festival (in Virginia) with some of our students.

Almost 1 billion people across the globe will go to bed hungry tonight, 200 million of them children. Most of those people are smallholder farmers who depend on agriculture to make a living and feed their families. Despite an explosion in the growth of urban slums over the last decade, nearly 75 percent of poor people in developing countries live in rural areas. That's why growth in the agriculture sector has been found, on average, to be at least twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth in other sectors.
Investing in these smallholder farmers—most of whom are women—is more important than ever. A spike in world food prices in 2008 hurt economies across the world and led to destabilizing riots in over 30 countries. In order to feed a population expected to grow to 9 billion people by 2050, the world will have to double its current food production, all while climate change increases droughts and leads to less predictable rains.
In 2009 at the G-8 Summit in L'Aquila, Italy, President Obama called on global leaders to reverse a decades-long decline in investment in agriculture and to strengthen global efforts to reduce poverty, hunger and undernutrition. As a result, countries committed more than $22 billion in investments in agricultural development and food security. The president also launched Feed the Future, the U.S. Government's global food security initiative, designed to transform agriculture in 19 focus countries so they can grow enough to feed their own people.
In 2012 at the Camp David G-8 Summit, President Obama again led global food security efforts by launching the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, a partnership designed to increase private sector investment in African agriculture. Thanks to the New Alliance, more than 70 global and local companies have committed to invest over $3.75 billion on the continent—many for the first time.
As part of these efforts, USAID is scaling up a comprehensive approach to fighting hunger and strengthening food security by:
- Investing in cutting-edge scientific and technological agricultural research to develop stronger seeds and greener fertilizers so farmers can grow more.
- Developing agricultural markets, expanding trade and using mobile phones to provide real-time prices, so farmers can sell what they grow at a profit.
- Helping farmers access capital, so they can expand their farms and buy equipment.
- Offering extension services, so farmers can learn the best techniques to grow and store their crops.
- Developing sustainable agriculture strategies, so countries can feed their populations without depleting their natural resources.
- Providing emergency food assistance, so vulnerable populations and malnourished can survive and quickly bounce back in times of crisis.
As a result of these efforts, we will:
- Reduce the prevalence of poverty and the prevalence of stunted children under five years of age by 20 percent in the areas where we work over five years;
- Lift 50 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa out of poverty by 2022—more than one out of every eight people who currently live in poverty in the region.

Reviewed by MICHAEL ALLISON. Review Posted 11/04/2014
This device came from dabs very quickly and the 1st thing I had to do was charge it up using my tablet charger. This took about 2 hours. I then inserted a pre-recorded SD memory card and connected wirelessly to my tablet. This was achieved without any difficulty. I was able to read the contents of the card which included music and photographs on the tablet. I then decided that I wanted to connect the device to the Internet and at first I had a problem but eventually I discovered that I was using the wrong code for my wireless network. After this - all worked perfectly and the device transmitted to my tablet and my laptop. I think this is the most exciting device I have seen recently and would recommend it to all my friends and colleagues. SD storage cards now go up to 64GB.

It's comical, watching the regressives in the kountry blame 44 (Obama) for the price of gas when it escalates. What's even more comical is their collective silence when it goes the other way. Those people never take into konsideration that outside circumstances that cause gas to rise. Increased demand from China and India, switching from winter grade to summer grade,political strife in two of OPEC'S oil producers (Nigeria and Iran)and speculation are a few of the reasons why the price of gas can spike. But when all else fails, "blame the "Black" looking guy in the Not So White House
You'd think the GOP would be more amiable to developing alternative energy industries as an engine for economic growth. Instead, Boehner and his cronies want us to end up like this: http://youtu.be/zHteSbrZZ5U
We are talking about a political party whose patron saint St. Ronnie of Ray-gun, pulled off the solar panels from the previously glossed WHITE House when he took over in 1980. The regressives and some so called Democrats are so in deep with Big Oil that they wouldn't even fund investing in other forms of energy.
I wonder if a similar story was published by The [Vaunted] Economist in 2007/8.
Gas prices should be made artificially higher due to further government taxation, as high prices helps shift public demand towards fuel efficient vehicles. For that, an unified taxation policy would be much more effective in that role.
Sooner or later, gas prices will rise anyway, and it's in the public interest to be prepared as oil supplies around the world dwindle in the coming decades.
Foresight is part of the government's job, no?
WHY the hell do we put our energy needs in the power of these damn politicians?
For some f^(k!n& reason, the laws of economics breaks down everytime the media(not necessariliy the Economist) talks about the price and security of oil!
Seriously, the U.S gov't needs to back off no matter how much Islamabad, Tehran or Riyadh THREATEN to cut off supplies!
They NEED the $Money$ just as much we NEED OIL! STOP taking their bluffs seriously (Play some damn poker for some practice for god sakes). Supply and demand IDIOTS.
Since when has Islamabad had anything to do with oil?
"Seriously, the U.S gov't needs to back off no matter how much Islamabad, Tehran or Riyadh THREATEN to cut off supplies!"
So what problem is there for USA if Pakistan and Iran are talking about oil supplies. They are neighbors after all. The website does nothing really, it is so out of context in light of your comments. What is the point???
the pipeline allows for Iran to use Pakistan as a gateway towards rest of Asia (India, China, etc.). This project has been in the works since the early 1990's. In other words, it means more control/money for Iran which really doesn't help U.S's intentions. This might not seem THAT major (though it is to a degree) but i just i mentioned it because it was recently in the news.
One ought to strive to make friends and reduce the number of one's enemies. US policy is the opposite of this. Iran need not have been an enemy. US-Iran relations is a sorry tale indeed. The mess-up started with not-so-covert CIA operations in 50s.
Maybe USA needs Iran as an enemy so that the Gulf Arabs cling to US coat-tails for the fear of Iran. Israelis of course are happy about it.
Agreed. Right solutions are hard to come by in the State Dep't
This article makes no mention of the Obama administrations decision to delay the Keystone pipeline. Increases supply and you will almost certainly lower prices.
Nope, OPEC just scales down production elsewhere to keep prices where they want them to be.
Mr.Obama,poor guy!
The president is stuck.The two parties fight against each other,ignoring what to do with the economy.American democracy is really a farce.Uncle Sam exported its democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan,and that is also a farce.
The solution to high gas prices is SLOW STABLE RISE in the price of oil.
A fast rise would cause a shock to the economy and lead to a Recession.
Slow sustained price of gasoline over $5.00 per gallon that stabilized for 4 years, would send the American consumer a message:
1. Cut back on gasoline consumption.
2. Think about getting a smaller more efficient vehicle like a hybrid.
3. Move closer to work or downtown.
4. Use public transportation. Fund the construction of new transit projects.
5. Walk and bike errands.
Consumers do not like UNCERTAINTY. A price floor could be accomplished by a variable Federal gasoline tax that would be used to fund public transit and infrastructure. But whether gas went down or up, the floor of gasoline prices would remain at a minimum $5.00/gallon. Consumers will act intelligently when given stable predictable conditions.
Sustained price pressure by the market will do what no legislature or public service announcement can hope to do.
Higher fuel prices is an eventuality. We can either learn to deal with it with wise planning or be surprised when it suddenly arrives.
And if you think $5.00 a gallon is expensive, how will you act at $7.50, $10.00 or $15.00 a gallon? Chances are you will see this in your lifetime.
No crystal ball is needed to see what would happen if petrol prices rose to higher levels. Come to Europe, where we pay 8.50 USD/gallon already. We drive small cars shorter distances, car manufacturers spend hundreds of millions on efficiency R&D and market their cars on MPG not on horsepower.
The world needs electric cars, the problem is Americans love Mustangs and go back to buying them as soon as the gas price drops.
I think that's down to city design and country size, Europe has been driving small cars for years even when prices were low.
"Change we can believe in" was not marketed effectively to gas guzzling Uncle Sammers who want bigger than a compact. Even in WWII, shortages, rationing, and the petroleum price pervaded politics. The next two Presidents will richly reap what Obama's first term could not from in country supply.
Most Americans, while braying red blooded independence,whine constantly over fuel prices they make themselves so intensly dependent on via long commutes and wasteful energy use.
It's, like, all hat and no cattle.
Unlike some Western countries, the U.S has the capability and geographical features to tap solar energy. I think abundant geographical resources should enable the U.S to rely less on fossil fuels.
"Neither will the drop buy Mr Obama a reprieve from his Republican critics."
Of course not. Asking the average Republican for sanity and intelligent thought is like asking my kitten to stop begging for a piece of my breakfast. Except my kitten can be trained out of its instinctual habit, while the Republicans probably can't.
I appreciate your well developed, "sane and intelligent" commentary regarding the "instinctual habits" of the average republican. You show an extraordinary ability to rise above the partisan bickering of which you speak.
apology for the ad hominem commentary (redacted). However, I do hope that you appreciate the irony of your statement.
Edit- guess I cannot delete.
Sadly, her comments accurately reflect the modern Republican party.
Your criticisms would be valid if she were wrong, but she's not.
\hasty generalization. Proclamation does not an argument make.
'showing a Protean ability to blame the president for everything,'
And they, with their right-wing followers will not admit to their racism either. Like my dear old Mom, she just can't brig herslef to voting for a 'black man', these people can't bring themselves to accepting an african-american as their leader.
"StrawMan" much? Do not include such generalizations about things you obviously assume. And we all know what happens when you assume.
Straw man? To a certain extent, yes.
But Obama still remains the most hated president of all time by a certain section of the US population. What sets him apart from other Democrat presidents? Darker skin and bad economy.
And the bad economy (defined as high unemployment figures and sustained deficit spending) is attributable to a combination of GWB and a secular shift in the tectonics of the global economy.
Which leaves the darker skin as the most likely reason why some people hate him with a passion. I just saw a commercial for a 'Defeat Barack Obama telethon', proudly featuring the nation's 'top conservatives' such as Bachmann the Secret Swiss, and Cain the Ignorant.
So yeah, racism still probably accounts for a large part of Republican opposition against Obama. You can't say it's a straw man argument just because it's not 100%.
Again with the straw man. Just because you only present x and y does not present the whole argument. By that same logic you could substitute Jimmy Carter with bad economy and being born in Georgia thus concluding that people must hate him because he is from Georgia. What data shows the most hatred and by which segment? I am fairly certain Obama's approval numbers are quite high, unless that population segment doesn't count in your argument. While extremists like to point towards the fringe elements, the populace as a whole is not something you can classify with broad statements nor should they be associated with those smaller fringe elements. Disagreement with policy does not equate to racism.
Admittedly, Obama being the most hated president does not come from scientific data, but from mere observation. And I am not old enough to personally remember how hated Jimmy Carter was.
But it's a stretch to say that opposition against Obama hasn't been absolutely hysterical, and for no good reason. Obama is accused of being a foreign-born, a Marxist, a Muslim, a radical revolutionary, a country-wrecker, a constitution-ripper par excellence, and so on. Even some of the epithets more easily applied to Republicans (such as being a friend of the bankers, etc) stick to him.
You have to admit that such a thing has not been seen in recent memory. Sure, Clinton was hated, and sure, GWB was hated - but Clinton lied under oath about getting his big... well, yeah. And GWB lied to the American people to go to a war that cost trillions and thousands of American lives. The worst thing that could be said about Obama, in terms of policies or moral actions, is that he's inherited a lousy economy and that he hasn't done enough to turn it around. But turn it around by doing exactly what? More Keynesian stimulus? I thought that was an anathema in the GOP-controlled Congress.
Which all comes to around to what you call fringe elements and their racism. Yes, racists are a fringe element even within the Republican party nowadays. But from the look of things, they still set the tone for attacks against Obama, whether other Republicans are aware of it or not. Because when everything is said and done, there is only one thing that sticks out for Obama, and that's his non-traditional identity within the American political landscape. And it's identity politics that's putting the cream on top when it comes to animus against Obama.
Perhaps this paper should use the phrase "an organization of extremists known as Fox News" going forward.
As well as the extremist news of MSNBC. Look for an extreme with anything and you will find it. Politics is the new segregation.

MICHIGAN... is it up for grabs? Posted by mytigger on 10/8 at 8:36 pm Really, this is hard to believe but check out this info: quote: Undecided voters dropped 9%, from 16% to 7% between polls and of that 9% they broke for Romney 8 to 1. That's f-king crazy huge. Obama is leading 48-45 but 7% still remain undecided. If they break 5-2 for Romney we're looking at 50-50 in MI. quote: I'm not saying Romney will win MI, I won't believe it until I see it, but if he does it's over, fini', kaput. Another month to go.... this is getting more interesting every day. LINK Reply Back to Top |
Posted by SpartyGator on 10/8 at 9:12 pm to mytigger Personally, I don't see Romney winning here (who knows still). You are right, however, it would be a hell of nice pickup for him. Now if he can get Ohio.... Reply Back to Top |
It is his home state. If Detroit didn't exist, Romney wins hands down Reply Back to Top |

Posted by gatorrocks on 10/8 at 9:30 pm to RTR America To lib of state for Romney to win. Especially with Detroit. On a side note, how long before Detroit's infrastructure completely collapses? 50 years of liberalism has killed that city. I mean, you have the police union warning people not to come to Detroit. Reply Back to Top |
quote:And a month is an eternity at this point. Romney's folks aimed this campaign to get to the debates. They are very confident in Romney's ability to whip Obama in debates. I still think the wait-til-the-debates strategy involved needless risk, but so far it has worked. However, if Obama outperforms Romney in the remaining debates, he could still win going away. Of course the reverse may well be true too. I'm not at all convinced either of these guys has anything near 48%-49% of the voting public locked up. IMO, the election could well end in a 4+% spread either way. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by gatorrocks on 10/8 at 9:36 pm to NC_Tigah quote: Should be interesting. Although, I don't think as many people will be watching the next two debates. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by RTR America on 10/8 at 9:38 pm to NC_Tigah quote: Set to spend 26 mill these week on ad times. I think they truly believed keep it close until the debates and he will be fine. I feel like he would be up by more if it wasn't for the 47% comment. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by FairhopeTider on 10/8 at 9:41 pm to NC_Tigah quote: I agree on all points. However, I think if Obama just keeps the remaining debates a draw, the media will return to propping him up. Romney needs to keep his foot on the gas. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by RTR America on 10/8 at 9:42 pm to gatorrocks quote: I do not trust the next mediator to be faired, but then again I said the same thing about the first one. I also think we are going to hear some dumb town hall questions about lady parts, gays, and 47%. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by LSUGrrrl on 10/8 at 10:09 pm to RTR America quote: As dumb as this is, it is true. I'm sure Romney has been prepped on how to answer questions about these topics. Reply Back to Top |
isn't the next debate about foreign policy? Reply Back to Top |
Posted by RTR America on 10/8 at 10:17 pm to mytigger quote: Town hall style. The last one is foreign policy Reply Back to Top |
quote: Everyone knows how Romney feels about gays and that he wants to enshrine discrimination into the U.S. Constitution. I highly doubt there's going to be any new revelations from Romney. He's already admitted he shouldn't have made the "47%" comments also. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by ottothewise on 10/8 at 10:22 pm to gatorrocks quote: on what do you base that opinion? I think the viewership will double if they dont have it running at the same time as the World Series or a NFL game. There was a football game on at the same time. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by ottothewise on 10/8 at 10:25 pm to LSUGrrrl quote: he delivered speeches. it was not a debate. it was obvious to me that he had practiced those remarks. Obama needs to memorize a couple of speeches too. Look smooth. This debate business keeps reminding me of Saban and Miles. Saban memorizes sound bites. Les makes up his answers on the spot. Miles sometimes looks foolish. Saban looks snappy. Obama needs to pick his spots and give a memorized SLICK reply; surely he and his people can figure out that a few topics will be sure to come up.

The Institute is interested in constitutional reform, active citizenship and political participation. Our future work will be exploring voting trends, the interplay between politics and policymaking and improving political engagement. Project partners include: Professor Vernon Bogdanor, Professor Francesca Klug, John Bercow MP, Trevor Philips, Barrow Cadbury Trust, Hansard Society, Young Foundation, and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
Reading the local runes: What the 2011 local election results suggest nationally This in-house report examines what the 2011 local elections mean nationally. The report looks at the relationship over time and suggests that what matters when predicting general election results is local support for the opposition and not the governing party's performance. It also analyses the implications 2011 results in regard to the fragmentation of British politicians and the electoral prospects of all three main parties.
Migration: Where Next? Developing a New Progressive Immigration Policy This timely collection of essays forms part of a programme of work the Smith Institute is undertaking on migration and social cohesion. The contributors to this monograph aim to provoke a debate about what a new progressive migration policy would entail. Immigration was one of the defining issues of the 2010 general election but, in truth, it is an issue on which the centre-left has for some time failed to create a coherent policy or a positive narrative around this.
Public policy concerns the ideas and actions that government (at all levels) and the public sector more broadly undertakes. The actions are attempts to improve an aspect of public life. These actions take various forms and are undertaken by various government bodies and agencies. Such actions vary from passing or repealing a law, cutting or investing in a particular service, to less tangible actions such as calling for people to act in a certain way. Public policy involves consideration of a myriad of factors. These can include the impact on the economy, on individual behaviour, on equity, and on the law. Consideration is often made to the potential un/popularity of the policy. This is not only important for politicians but also the policy's successful implementation by public servants. New policies also try to change a particular issue ideologically close to those implementing it. For example, a trade off may be made so the health budget receives increased funding whilst the defence budget is cut. Public policy has increasingly become evidenced based. With greater scrutiny and large sums of money involved, policy decisions have to be able to withstand close examination. In many cases government has chosen to scrutinise and evaluate a proposed policy by running a pilot scheme. Given the drive for efficiency and accountability public funded bodies and services have increasingly had to provide statistics on productivity and effectiveness. This complex dynamic between ideology, vested interests, electoral popularity and effectiveness impacts on every decision taken
The importance of public policy has increased as democracy and the state have expanded. Over recent years, the UK government's expenditure has been around 40% of GDP (peaking during recessions and national crises before subsiding – at its highest it reached 61% in 1942 to 1944). As the public has demanded more action the state has played an ever larger role in attempting to cure societal ills. Not only has the state increased in size since the turn of the twentieth century but expectations have become greater. In recent years public services have come under pressure to deliver greater choice and freedom to citizens who have experienced higher standards of living and who are no longer willing to accept 'one-size fits-all' provision. This has meant greater efficiency savings and smarter public policy to deliver the kinds of services people expect. The complexities of public service delivery are only one aspect of the policy debate. With the importance of policy to the economy, business has looked to government to provide the right environment for growth so that they can compete with international firms. Such policy implications include government policy on education, health, rates of tax, labour flexibility, immigration and regulation to name but a few. Policy is also important for those campaigning on issues around poverty, international development, civil liberties, life chances and the environment. With so many different interests and such high expectations the importance of policy has never been greater or, indeed, more complex.
Given the complexities of public policy formulation and implementation, government (and public agencies) have increasingly looked to independent research organisations to inform and improve their accountability, decision making and management. Research think tanks fill the gap between academia and the political world. By giving a platform to new thinking they offer government alternative approaches to policy formulation. They not only offer new approaches but actively try to influence decision making by engaging politicians. In parallel to this, public policy think tanks use the media to apply pressure on government and the opposition to support a particular proposal. These proposals for improved policy come out of research undertaken and events held. Research can vary in form. Often reports are drafted by individual researchers but publications can also consist of edited chapters on a particular theme or a report based on deliberation from an esteemed group of panellists. Effective research is evidenced based rather than purely ideological. Given the complexity of policy making, substantive evidence has to be in place to back up any recommendations. Publications are not only written by researchers, but can also be penned by academics, opinions formers, chief executives, decision makers, trade unionists, leaders from the third sector, civil servants, politicians, and journalists. In addition to research, events are held to debate and discuss issues. These can come in the form of roundtable discussions, seminars, conferences and lectures. By discussing issues with stakeholders it is hoped that a more rounded and nuanced approached to a policy can be found.
The number of nonpartisan think tanks has increased with the professionalisation of politics and growth of single issue campaigns. Most are not-for-profit organisations, independent, nonpartisan and free from government. They rely on grants, donations and contracts for funding. By being independent views and recommendations are more likely to be trusted. Independence is also important in engaging stakeholders. An open forum allows freedom to express new ideas and approaches to policy free of party dogma and politicking. Nonpartisan political think tanks offer new insights and thought leadership on public policy issues. Although think tank research is evidence based and independent there is often ideological bias in what is produced. In the world of policy and politics more broadly nothing can be said to be ideologically neutral. With so many influences, interests and beliefs policy cannot be value free. In reality policy has some normative foundation from which choices and trade offs are made. Research think tanks in the UK tend to have some form of political motivation. Broadly speaking they are either progressive or conservative so come at policy from a particular angle. Whilst this is true of some others look at a single policy areas such as the King's Fund on health, the Institute for Fiscal Studies on economic analysis, and Chatham House on foreign affairs. Regardless of their particular agenda almost all are nonpartisan, with exceptions including the Fabian Society which is affiliated to the Labour Party or the Bow Group which has links with the Conservative Party.
Progressive think tanks, like the Smith Institute, focus their work on issues around social justice, sustainability, equality and fairness. Progressive polices have traditionally looked at how we counter social exclusion to create a fairer more equal society. Progressives believe that by harnessing and shaping the power of the market the interests of the many can be best served. At the heart of progressive thought is the idea that individuals are social beings, and that through mutual endeavour social and economic problems can be overcome. Thus there is emphasis on collaboration rather than just individual action. Given the importance of cooperation issues around democracy and empowerment are stressed. There is also the belief that by being fairer society will also be more prosperous. By having fair provision of social goods the work force will be educated and healthy which will benefit the economy. A fairer society is not only good for the economy but also the individual whose capabilities can best be realised and sense of wellbeing increased. Progressives also stress the importance of sustainability and international development. Not only are these economic necessities they are moral issues as they allow opportunity to be extended to others – be it those in developing nations or to future generations. Modern centre-left thought is not merely about resource distribution but also about shaping institutions, policies and behaviour for the benefit of all. These norms shape the perspectives that progressive research takes. As such research often looks at issues such as health or education through the lens of social justice or equality
The Smith Institute is a leading nonpartisan public policy think tank which promotes progressive policies for a fairer society. We provide a high-level forum for new thinking and debate on public policy and politics. Through our research, reports, briefings, monographs, events, lectures, education, and our website, the Institute offers a platform for thought leadership on a wide range of topics. We are interested not only in innovation and new ideas but also in how to translate policy into practice. Founded in 1996 in memory of the late Rt. Hon. John Smith MP, the former leader of the Labour Party who had an all pervading passion for social justice, the Institute seeks to engage politicians, decision makers, practitioners, academia, opinion formers and commentators. The Institute's activities are informed by a network of well known experts, policy makers, research fellows and patrons. Based in London, the Institute is a not for profit organisation which works in partnership with a range of public and private organisations, other nonpartisan political think tanks, foundations and charities. The Smith Institute has an excellent track record in influencing and shaping public policy, and extensive national and international contacts. Over the last decade we have held over 500 events and published more than 150 reports, with contributions from Prime Ministers and MPs to archbishops and chief executives. The Institute's work strands include: economy and finance; government and politics; sustainability; business and third sector; local government, cities and regions; housing and regeneration; education and families; health and wellbeing; and EU and international.

The Mice Were Dancing...
March 16, 2013
by John Vink
View profile
There is supposed to be a photograph of the deceased Ieng Sary with this post but the upload system is not functioning right now... I hope your imagination is.
OK: 72 hours later it is fixed now.
So I turn my back for just a couple of days, working far from Phnom Penh on the 'Three Rivers Dams' project (
see here
) and then this happens: 1/ the authorities destroy the shacks of 12 Borei Keila families (see what they went through before that
). 2/ Mam Sonando goes free, albeit conditionally (see his trial
). 3/ Ieng Sary, deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs during the Khmer Rouge, one of the accused being tried at the ECCC passes away...
It doesn't take much to miss an opportunity to follow-up on a story it seems... When the cat is gone the mice are dancing.
At least Ieng Sary didn't die a free person.
And with his death the relevance of '30 Years for a Trial', my e-book about Duch's trial (available at the iBookstore
on iTunes here
) just increased as the chances of seeing more Khmer Rouge leaders being sentenced has just taken another blow.
