Racing Game Rules
Each participant will be allowed 3 picks each week. Picks must be received at the radio station by 2pm on Fridays. Any pick received after 2pm on Friday will not be eligible for play. Picks should be called in to the Mayhem Show Monday through Friday 1-2pm. *Note* A call to the station during the show is the preferred method. We want your participation on the air. If you are unable to call during the show, picks can be emailed to the radio station at firstname.lastname@example.com, emailed to Moody Bros. at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by calling Moody Bros. at 252-430-8600.
Beginning with the Daytona 500 and each week therafter, each player may pick 1 driver from the current top 10 in driver points as scored by NASCAR. If more than 1 top 10 driver is selected, only the driver with the higher points position (before the race) will be scored. Other pick(s) from the top 10 will be disqualified and not scored. Your second pick would come fom point positions 11 through 20 or higher. Your third pick would come from positions 21 through 43. Participants are responsible for keeping track of NASCAR official points standings.
Participants cannot select any driver two races in a row. Duplicated picks will be disqualified and not scored.
Scoring:Points will be awarded as follows: (finish position – pts)
1) 100 11) 38 21) 19 31) 9 41) -10
2) 80 12) 36 22) 18 32) 8 42) -20

9) 45 19) 22 29) 11 39) 1
10) 40 20) 20 30) 10 40) 0
Front Row Award: Each week 10 bonus points will be awarded to the driver who wins the pole position for the event. 5 points will be awarded to the driver qualifying in the 2nd spot. If qualifying is canceled and starting spots are assigned by NASCAR, no bonus points will be awarded for that event.
Bonus points will also be awarded each week for the following:
Lucky Dog Award: This award goes to the first car that is not on the lead lap. The number of bonus points will be the points earned for that finishing position (from the point system above) x 2. (Example: Driver finishes 16th. He earns 24pts. Lucky Dog bonus is an additional 24pts. His total score = 48pts)
Movin' On Up Award:This award will be given to the driver that improves his/her position the most in the race (determined by subtracting the finishing position from the starting position). If two or more drivers tie, the award goes to the driver with the highest finish. The award will be 25pts.
A Trifecta Award:will be given any week that a player's three picks finish the race in 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions. The award will be 100pts added to their regular score for the week.
Each week points will be deducted for the following:
M'on Back Penalty:This penalty will be given tot he driver who loses the most positions during the race (determined by subtracting the starting position from the finishing position). If two or more drivers tie, the penalty goes to the driver with the lowest finish. The amount of the penalty will be -25pts.
NOTE: Players may have negative points if penalties are greater than points earned.
Each week the player who scores the most points will be recognized as the Weekly Winner and will be awarded the weekly prize (if offered).
The regular season consists of 26 NASCAR point races. We will split the regular season into 2 segments. Segment A(races 1-13) and Segment B (races 14-26). For each segment, players will be scored for their best 10 races. We will drop the 3 lowest scores for each segment. We will have a Segment A champion and a Segment B champion. Both champs will automatically be in our final segment –
The WIZS Chase For The Championship!!
At the end of the regular season, points from Segment A and Segment B will be added for a regular season total score. The highest total score will be the 1 seed in our WIZS Chase For The Championship. At that time, the top 10 finishers in the regular season will be seeded for the Chase as follows:
1 – 5150 5 – 5100 9 – 5080
2 – 5125 6 – 5095 10 – 5075
3 – 5115 7 – 5090 11 – 5050
4 – 5105 8 – 5085 12 – 5050
Two additional players will be added to the chase and seeded 11th and 12th (with 5050 points each). Selection process will be decided by a vote of the current participants in the game prior to the start of the Chase. However, if either winner of segment A or B are not qualified for the Chase by point totals, one or both will assume one or both of the additional players spots mentioned above. There will be a minimum of 12 players racing for the WIZS Chase For The Championship!!
During the Chase segment, points scored each week will be added to seeded scores to determine our WIZS Chase For The Championship winner.
I Didn't Make The Chase Championship!!
All other participants will reset for the Chase portion of our contest according to their finishing order in the regular season. The top seed (highest regular season point total not qualified for the Chase) will start with 1000 points and each position following will be less 5. The player with the most points after the last 10 events will be our I Didn't Make The Chase Champion!!
Prizes (to be determined) will be awarded a the end of the season!
Please direct any questions to Larry Moody, Commissioner of the WIZS Chase For The Championship brought to you by Moody Bros Jewelers and Sams Furniture!!

Howard Wolfson to Fox … A new-era editor for the WashPost … A huge day for Bob Barnett … Alert NORAD: It's Mik's birthday … Philippe comes clean: 'Berrys with the cabin door closed … McCain hip to CROCS ... Obamans savor McCain internal upheaval … Obama HQ's towel dispensers … Fred Barbash joins Politico
Good Tuesday morning. JAY LENO: "Hey, big scare today for Barack Obama. His airplane had to make an unscheduled landing because of mechanical problems. While the pilot was steering to the left, the plane was apparently drifting to the right. [Laughter ] … Nobody could really quite figure out what was HAPPENING! [Applause] … Obama's wife, Michelle -- pretty distraught when she first heard the news that his plane had problems. Although, not nearly as distraught as Hillary Clinton when she heard everything was OK."
Survivor: AP's Liz Sidoti, who filed the breaking from Air Obama during yesterday's emergency landing in St. Louis, was also aboard Senator Edwards' plane when he had a fire in 2004.
Happy 8th anniversary to Joe and Esther Lee.
BIRTHDAYpalooza; It's Jim Miklaszewski's birthday. (Hat tip: Courtney Kube) … Nick SIMPSON, press secretary to Mr. Blunt, is a birthday boy. (Hat tip: Matt Mackowiak) … It's Steve Holland's birthday. (Thank you, Birthday Alarmer.)
Nelson Rockefeller was born 100 years ago today.
Howard WOLFSON, the former co-chief strategist and communications director for Senator Clinton's presidential campaign, is scheduled to make his debut TOMORROW as a FOX NEWS CHANNEL contributor.
John Moody, Fox News executive vice president of news editorial says in a release out later today: "Howard was part of the inner working circle of Senator Clinton's campaign and has a unique perspective on just how unconventional this election year already is. He has proven himself on key campaigns throughout the last decade and is recognized as one of the top communications and political thinkers in the Democratic Party. We look forward to benefiting from his insight during the general election campaign and beyond."
Wolfson also plans to return to his role as a partner in the Glover Park Group, where he focuses on integrated campaigns as well as political advertising and communications and crisis management.
NEW TOP DOG AT THE WASHPOST – The release: "Marcus Brauchli has been named executive editor of The Washington Post, effective September 8. He succeeds Leonard Downie, Jr., who announced his retirement on June 23. Brauchli will oversee the editorial operations of both The Washington Post newspaper and washingtonpost.com; Jim Brady, executive editor of washingtonpost.com, and Phil Bennett, managing editor of the newspaper, will report to him. … Brauchli was named managing editor of The Wall Street Journal in April 2007. He resigned one year later, four months after News Corp acquired the newspaper's parent company, Dow Jones & Co."
The WP and NYT agree on their pronouncer: "BROW-klee."
The N.Y. Times fronts, "Washington Post Signals Shift With New Editor," by Richard Perez-Pena: "At age 47, he is young enough to remain in place for many years, working alongside the publisher, Katharine Weymouth, who is 42 and has been in her job for five months. … The Post is trying to meld its print and online news operations — something The Journal has already done — and that task is high on the priority list of Ms. Weymouth, the first Post publisher with direct control of its Web site. The two operations have been kept apart to a degree that is rare in the industry — the Web site even has a separate newsroom, in Virginia — which has bred duplication and turf wars. … Mr. Brauchli has little experience in Washington, but at The Journal he helped oversee coverage of presidential campaigns and served as a foreign correspondent. Former colleagues say he has no trouble adapting to new territory."
Howard Kurtz, writing on the WP's A1: "Post Managing Editor Philip Bennett, who was also a contender for the top job, said he has made no decision about the future. Weymouth has encouraged him to continue in that role. Brauchli said The Post must straddle its dual roles as 'the best source of information' for local news while providing a 'definitive' account of national politics and policy. In an age when the Internet is dramatically extending the reach of newspapers while undercutting their traditional business model, he said, 'journalists are going to have to be comfortable in multiple forms of media.' "
What do WOLFSON and BRAUCHLI have in common?
***Their head-turning contracts were both negotiated by superlawyer Robert BARNETT of Williams & Connolly LLP (who, incidentally, also negotiated Karl ROVE's deal with Fox).
The RNC is out with a new Web video, "Obama's Iraq Problem: Change That Works For Him."
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT – Philippe Reines, senior adviser to Senator Clinton (and others), scores a WALL STREET JOURNAL opinion piece on MY PLAN TO HELP THE AIRLINES: "After logging nearly 150 flights on every major domestic airline, and racking up almost 100,000 miles over and between dozens of states, I have a few suggestions ... [W]hy stop at checked bags … ? Here are some more ways to make a few extra dollars: You could charge an extra $1.99 for the option of boarding the plane from the middle or back doors, rather than parading coach passengers through first class, only to be sneered at by people sipping Mimosas. …
"I'd happily throw in 99 cents for someone to explain to me what the refrain '1L 1R . . . 2L 2R' signals and why it has to be done via the PA. ….
"C'mon. My BlackBerry is not going to bring the plane down. I don't know of a single documented case of a consumer electronic device interfering with a plane's avionics. If they did, al Qaeda would just fly around with iPods. Since we don't fear an iBomber, why not just let me use my BlackBerry as much as I want, whenever I want. (I do anyway.) This one would be free, because it would be offset by negating the need for the flight attendant to expend energy cruising the aisle before takeoff searching for perps, like a prison guard working the tiers of Sing Sing."
NOW EVERYONE WILL DO THIS STORY – Wall Street Journal A4, "Clinton's Convention Role Being Negotiated: Democrats Weigh Putting Her Name Into Nomination," by June Kronholz: "High on the list of matters that Sen. Clinton and likely Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama are negotiating as her campaign closes down is whether and how her name is put into nomination at the August convention in Denver, said party activists in both camps. A full roll-call vote that reminds everyone how close she came to being the nominee could reveal party rifts going into the fall campaign, they said. But keeping her name off the roll call could anger her supporters."
BREAKING NEWS 1: "TOYAKO, Japan (AP) — President Bush and other world leaders made gradual progress Tuesday on climate change, but finalizing a long-term global agreement on what to do about the fevered planet remains elusive."
BREAKING NEWS 2: "KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan officials have evidence that foreigners were behind a massive suicide bombing against India's embassy in Kabul, President Hamid Karzai's spokesman said Tuesday, implying that Pakistan orchestrated the attack."
***James A. Baker III and Warren Christopher, reporting on the findings of the National War Powers Commission they co-chair, write in an N.Y. Times Op-Ed, "Put War Powers Back Where They Belong": "A bipartisan group that we led, the National War Powers Commission, has unanimously concluded after a year of study that the law purporting to govern the decision to engage in war — the 1973 War Powers Resolution — should be replaced by a new law that would, except for emergencies, require the president and Congressional leaders to discuss the matter before going to war. … Our proposed statute would provide that the president must consult with Congress before ordering a 'significant armed conflict' — defined as combat operations that last or are expected to last more than a week."
YES, that WAS Senator McCain talking about Crocs on CNN (Solidarity with Blain Rethmeier?), in his prepared economic remarks in Denver: "Five years ago, the outdoor footwear company, Crocs, was started by a couple of entrepreneurs with a great idea, ingenuity and drive. This former small business now employs 600 people in Colorado alone, and sells over 50 percent of its products in 90 countries around the world. Building barriers to Crocs or any American company's access to foreign markets will have a devastating effect on our economy and jobs, and the prosperity of American families."
We're happy ABC's Jake Tapper is back from the beach. He blogs, "McCain: Pro-Crocs. Who says he isn't up with the latest styles, the rock and the roll and such?"
I KNOW! "An AP-Yahoo News poll found that pet owners favor McCain over Obama 42 percent to 37 percent, with dog owners particularly in McCain's corner. … Some 64 percent of dog owners are married, slightly higher than the overall population. The poll found 47 percent of married people own dogs, compared with 39 percent of non-married people."
And how many of those single dudes are using Fluffy as a prop?
Politico's Ben Adler and Avi Zenilman, "McCain newly assertive on judicial philosophy": "McCain mostly soothed his base's concerns when, flanked by admired elders of the conservative legal movement, he delivered a May 6 speech that Jeffrey Toobin wrote in The New Yorker 'amounted to a dog whistle for the right' that made clear that he'd nominate judges who are skeptical of the 'right to privacy' that upholds the landmark abortion rights decision Roe v. Wade. … Supreme Court nominees will be a defining issue for the next president, since six of the nine sitting justices are in their seventies."
Politico's Ben Smith says Senator Clinton ISN'T GIVING UP HER ONLINE EMPIRE: "Katie Dowd, who runs Clinton's website and e-mail list, and Peter Daou, her campaign liaison to the blogosphere [remain aboard]. The survival of Clinton's online operation highlights her induction into a small but growing new club of presidential losers who have used the Internet to maintain some of their national profile and power. The defeated candidates use e-mail, websites and social networks to maintain contact with their supporters through legacy online campaigns that keep their coffers full, their bases intact and their political futures viable."
WashPost alumnus FRED BARBASH joins POLITICO Nation as senior editor. From the announcement: "Fred comes to Politico after two years on the faculty of the Medill School of Journalism and 25 years as an editor and reporter for the Washington Post, where he was, at one time or the other, the Post's National Editor, London Bureau Chief, Supreme Court correspondent, Deputy Editor of Outlook and a founding editor, reporter, blogger and talking head on the Post's Continuous News Desk, the Post's first experiment with Washingtonpost.com in 24/7 news."
McCain scores big in The Denver Post, with a huge "McCain talks money" layout and pull quotes of him promising to do "the hard things" and: "If you believe you should pay more taxes, I am the wrong candidate for you."
The Democrats' announcement about Obama's plans for a rock-star acceptance speech in the Denver Broncos' stadium is at the bottom of the page: "Obama's big stage raises issues of costs, security."
PUNDIT PREP -- The Chicago Sun-Times' Lynn Sweet blogs: "The Invesco Field will allow the Obama campaign a valuable data mining opportunity. The Obama campaign is putting Colorado in play. President Bush beat Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) by only five points in 2004. By offering free admission to a historic event open to non-delegates, the Obama campaign will be able to require that people register for their tickets. That way, the campaign will capture the names, address and other information from people to be used to contact them later. Oprah Winfrey drawing giant crowds stumping for Obama in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina earlier this year was to some seen as a great way for Obama to get publicity and reach out to female voters—but Winfrey's gigs were used as a data mining bonanza for the campaign."
ECON COVERAGE -- The Cincinnati Enquirer runs the Babington-Sidoti AP wrap-up, with the headline: "Foes duel on getting US moving: McCain, Obama differ on taxes, spending, energy."
The Charlotte Observer puts a "LISTEN TO OBAMA'S PHONE CALL" link on A1, along with an AP photo of him holding a phone receiver in his left hand and a BlackBerry in his right: "Barack Obama was to be in Charlotte on Monday but had to divert to St. Louis because of mechanical problems with his campaign plane. He spoke by phone to Charlotte supporters."
The Observer's front-page boildown:
McCain economic plan highlights:
• Doubling the child tax deduction from $3,500 to $7,000.
• Cut the estate tax.
• Tax credits of $5,000 for families who buy health insurance.
Obama economic plan highlights:
• Energy rebate checks of $1,000 for many families.
• Eliminate income taxes for retirees making less than $50,000 a year.
• Giving $500 for the first $1,000 saved by families making less than $75,000 a year.
USA TODAY pans McCain's plan in an editorial headlined, "A flimsy vow on the budget": "Sen. John McCain earned a reputation for fiscal responsibility by challenging colleagues' pork-barrel spending and opposing the Bush tax cuts in 2001. Then he reversed himself, endorsing the Bush tax cuts and vowing to veto any tax increases. Now, in a plan unveiled Monday, he has returned to the cause of balancing the federal budget, promising to do so by 2013. … The reality is that the federal budget is so far out of whack that you could eliminate about two-thirds of the defense budget, or all of the non-defense programs McCain would freeze, and still run a deficit this year. By endorsing a continuation of the Bush tax cuts and adding others, McCain digs the hole deeper. … [I]f McCain wants the electoral gains that come with Monday's balanced-budget vow, he needs to offer more credible solutions for getting from here to there."
L.A. Times A1, "Adding up the cost of Obama's agenda: Some budget analysts say the Democrat's proposals for funding tens of billions of dollars in programs may not be enough," by Peter Nicholas: "Barack Obama has made a long list of promises for new federal programs costing tens of billions of dollars, many of them aimed at protecting people from the pain of a souring economy. But if he wins the presidency, Obama will be hard-pressed to keep his blueprint intact. A variety of budget analysts are skeptical that the Democrat's agenda could survive in the face of large federal budget deficits and the difficulty of making good on his plan to raise new revenue by closing tax loopholes, ending the Iraq war and cutting spending that is deemed low-priority. … 'I don't think it all adds up,' [said] Isabel Sawhill, an official in President Clinton's Office of Management and Budget … now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution."
TOP BUZZ -- N.Y. Times, "Internal Politics Heat Up at McCain Campaign," by Adam Nagourney: "After a period of relative calm … his campaign is once again a swirl of competing spheres of influence, clusters of friends, consultants and media advisers who represent a matrix of clashing ambitions and festering feuds. … Mr. McCain is uncomfortable firing people or banishing them entirely. His orbit remains filled with people who have been demoted without being told they are being demoted, like [Rick] Davis, who continues to hold the title of campaign manager even as [Steve] Schmidt manages the campaign. … Mr. Davis is nothing if not a survivor. … Mr. Davis without question deserves some credit for helping to steer Mr. McCain from the brink of withdrawal to securing the Republican nomination."
IN THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN'S DAILY E-MAIL, BILL BURTON LINKS TO ADAM AND NOTES THE "INTERNAL PROBLEMS ON THE McCAIN CAMPAIGN."
WORTH THE CLICK -- photo of Steve Schmidt, Mark Salter and Brooke Buchanan.
The Times has a clip-'n'-save graphic comparing July 2007 -- RESIGNED: Terry Nelson, John Weaver; PROMOTED: Rick Davis; …and July 2008 – DEMOTED: Rick Davis; PROMOTED: Steve Schmidt; HIRED: Greg Jenkins, Nicolle Wallace, Mike DuHaime.
The N.Y. Sun's Josh, "Questions Arise on Return of a Key Aide to McCain Campaign: Even Some Advocates of Michael Murphy Wonder How It Would Work": "The political strategist who steered Senator McCain's upstart bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2000, Michael Murphy, may soon take a prominent role on Mr. McCain's campaign for the White House, though even some advocates of Mr. Murphy's return aren't sure how or whether such a move would work. … The chief concern expressed about Mr. Murphy's arrival is that he might be an awkward fit with an operative from President Bush's 2004 campaign, Steve Schmidt, who took over day-to-day operation of Mr. McCain's campaign just last week in response to concerns that the operation was listless and failed to capitalize on a three-month head start over the Democrats."
L.A. Times, "David Plouffe is the man steering Obama's campaign: The political operative is smart, competitive, frugal and confident. And he has no intention of straying from his unconventional plan to get Obama elected," by Peter Nicholas: "[L]argely unknown, the fiercely competitive 41-year-old Plouffe stands at the center of one of the best-funded, best-organized Democratic presidential campaigns ever. … He was both architect and enforcer of a strategy that ignored others' advice and gave primacy to the Iowa caucuses, then plowed resources into smaller states that chose delegates after the mass of contests on Super Tuesday. …
"Though the Obama campaign is one of the best-funded in history, Plouffe is famously tight. Cab rides aren't reimbursed -- just subway fare. Staff members are asked to double up in hotels. And Axelrod tells a joke that underscores Plouffe's frugality: Wave your hand under the automatic towel dispensers in the restrooms at campaign headquarters and a towel comes out. Wave your hand a second time and a message pops up: 'See Plouffe.' "
N.Y. Times, "The Church of England Endorses Women as Bishops": "The governing body of the Anglican Church in Britain voted on Monday to approve the appointment of women as bishops, a step that appeared to risk a schism in the church in its historic homeland as the Anglican church worldwide faces one of the most serious threats to its unity in its history, over the ordination of gay clergy members. After a debate late into the night in the city of York, the General Synod of the Church of England, an assembly that holds ultimate authority on church doctrine in Britain, voted by comfortable margins within each of the synod's three houses — bishops, clergy and laity — to approve the consecration of women as bishops in the face of bitter opposition from traditionalists."
***Gallup.com, "Religious Intensity Predicts Support for McCain: Hispanic Catholics and black Protestants provide notable exceptions," by Frank Newport: "Americans who say religion is an important part of their daily lives support John McCain over Barack Obama for president, 50 percent to 40 percent."
OBSERVANT JEWS ARE MORE LIKELY TO PREFER McCAIN THAN THOSE WHO ARE NOT, per Gallup: "Only 39 percent of U.S. Jews report that religion is important in their daily lives, well below the overall national average. Among this smaller group of religious Jews, however, Obama and McCain break even, 45 percent to 45 percent. This compares to Obama's 68 percent to 26 percent lead among the majority of Jews for whom religion is not important."

Today is TAYLOR GRIFFIN's last day at the Financial Services Forum. He starts tomorrow at McCain HQ, to the immense relief of Nicolle, Jill, Tucker & Co. Ask Taylor, just back from a week in Ireland, why he has added "The Galway Girl" to his iPod.
SPORTS BLINK – NBC release: "Dan Patrick has been named a co-host of NBC's "Football Night in America" studio show, reuniting him with Keith Olbermann who together redefined sports highlights during their time together on ESPN's SportsCenter from 1992-97. Patrick, who will handle highlight duties with Olbermann, joins host Bob Costas and co-hosts Cris Collinsworth and Olbermann, along with analysts Jerome Bettis and Tiki Barber and reporter Peter King. The announcement was made … by Dick Ebersol, Chairman, NBC Universal Sports & Olympics on a media conference call."
DESSERT -- N.Y. Daily News cover – "HER 100G REVENGE": "Alex Rodriguez's bitter divorce took an ugly turn on Monday night when Team A-Rod accused his estranged wife of going on a spiteful spending spree in Paris. Spurned spouse Cynthia Rodriguez used the Yankee slugger's credit card to the tune of $100,000 to punish him for a dalliance with Madonna that both he and the Material Girl deny, an A-Rod pal said."
GOPs Digital Insurgents Attack Obama
They can't beat presidential candidate Barack Obama on real issues. Their brand is a decisively damaged commodity devoid of integrity and credibility. Conservative and Republican hacks are down to their last few mud pies filled with moronic distractions, rhetorical flack and schoolyard logic. They pray that voters will forget the damage from a decade of deception until the polls close on Election Day.
However, in the deceit decade, you just can't run around the schoolyard talking trash, spreading lies, and ranting like an articulate adolescent. When you want to disseminate big or better lies in the Information Age, you have to go digital. Realizing Obama attracted the best of the new media geeks to push his message to the masses, assorted GOP insurgents figured they could beat the Illinois politico at his own game. Viral media, innuendo and reverse logic have become their remaining weapons of mass distraction.
In the interest of full disclosure, I am an ex-Republican, activist and 2006 District of Columbia mayoral candidate recruited by the Republican National Committee's minority candidate program. Fortunately, genuine friends and contacts of integrity never abandoned me when I left forever on principle to be an active and proud full time Independent. As such, these very reliable sources have confirmed for me that much of the pushback and blogging that candidate Obama is receiving on his own website is actually coming from embedded GOP activists posing as disgruntled supporters.
It's attack politics by digital camouflage, and will become more intense as we get closer to the Democratic Convention, up to Election Day. The objective is to break, or at least minimize by about 20 percent, the Obama phenomenon by getting diverse issue-oriented supporters to attack him and each other. The FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act), Iraq war and patriotism issues are the second phase of the divide and conquer strategy. Phase three, around September, is alleged to become nastier, repetitive, more personal and deceptively scorched earth.
Driving and smearing the "flip-flop" theme on issues Obama has consistently answered, and tactically outlined in stages, the operatives hope to generate the levels of viral media and cable TV buzz mainstream media needs for raising summer news ratings. The GOP's twenty percent solution is just enough to cause doubt and diminish Obama's popularity across a spectrum of voters. Many of these operatives and sycophants still believe a marginal or dirty win is still an acceptable victory. The Obama campaign absolutely needs to not take any vote for granted.
Unfortunately, there will be some casualties in the new media wars. Most of the collateral damage will affect determined Hillary Clinton supporters and single-issue liberals who emotionally can't get with Obama's shade of centrist politics. Most of them are locked on issues that disable them from signing-on to the politics of the greater good. Let's not forget those who would prefer to cut their own throat rather than change to a different comfort zone. Collectively, they're all still hard pressed to vote for John McCain while choosing to be in political purgatory. Then again, people that emotionalize their vote rarely use it in a rational or constructive way.
Election 2008 is truly the Democrats' to lose. Barack Obama recognized this early on by not playing the GOP's game, being more politically agile, and regularly affirming his core beliefs. Nevertheless, desperate Republican elephants could still trample a multitude of Democratic mules that choose not to walk toward Obama's horizon.

"Obamacans" Explained . . .
When Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama branded the name Obamacans in a speech earlier in his campaign, many in the media and others were confused or amused. Who are these Obamacans and what do they want? exclaimed one pundit. The lexicon of punditry was blindsided by the new political paradigm. The answer has been in plain sight for over 3 years.
Obamacans are simply disaffected and disillusioned Republicans who have been embarrassed and bamboozled by the political parasites that have infested the Grand Old Party for over 20 years. These true GOP believers are more progressive and pragmatic, rather than conservative and ideological. They generally believe in governance and fiscal policies that emanate from the center, not the right or left. Their demographic crosses ethnic groups, socioeconomic levels, religious beliefs, and core ages from 30 to 60-plus. Moreover, theyre tired of being called Republicans as if it were a curse word.
Many have become so estranged from current day Republican politics and politricks, rather than convert to the Democratic Party, many have joined the ever-expanding Independent movement. As such, they have created a de facto political alliance composed of equally angry Democrats and dyed-in-the-wool believers who prefer being independent from the two major parties, or any party. They have congealed a belief that the two-party system is generally dysfunctional, corrupt, procrastinating and outmoded for todays socioeconomic and global challenges.
Basically, they are part of a multigenerational group of voters and taxpayers that want things done, and done right. Its also their belief that doing the right thing should not be inspired by political benefit. The most interesting part about Obamacans is that they are insulted by the moronic logic and schoolyard rhetoric of the Republican elites, spokespersons, pundits, operatives and cheerleaders. The insult is emphasized when the sound bite bunnies of TV news rarely ask incisive questions beyond the current GOP's self-serving talking points.
Their eyes cant roll far enough back anymore upon hearing another load of convoluted rationales from tongue-wagging twits about the state of America, the status of the Iraq war, and our ballooning global debt. In various ways, their basic lives have been negatively affected by their partys tax and splurge policies. They are effectively past the tipping point, and have experienced the exponential crippling of the American way of life for nearly a decade.
Like many other Americans, Obamacans are also tired of being scared as a motivational tool with lapel pin loyalty, faith, and pretentious patriotism as passports. Unfortunately, for them and many more, this has become the deceit decade. They, too, want change and a president to believe in.
As the summer 2008 political campaigns roll on, mainstream media pundits continue to sweat through the alleged complexities and obvious realities of America's change movement. We still hear Frankenstein-stitched rationales and analysis on what presidential candidate Barack Obama is thinking, doing and saying, and how the American electorate feels about it. Most of the pundits still just dont and won't get it.
A major political and socioeconomic paradigm shift, or tipping point, has occurred in the last three-plus years since the 2004 presidential campaign, rising U.S.-Iraqi war death tolls, ballooning American debt, global economic shifts, social insecurity and a decline of real confidence in our national government. In other less stable nations, a major social or violent uprising would be taking place. Fortunately, most Americans still feel more invested in our values and the future thanks to a credible social network of real news.
The iconic "Whats going on?" question is being answered and updated hourly. However, mainstream pundits and sound bite bunnies still use old formulas, clichés and benchmarks to decipher present day realties. Ask them when was the last time they talked face-to-face with twenty average people on the streets of twenty cities about whats really going on in America. Ask them how recently have they felt furious from the diminishing returns after paying their taxes and bills. Ask them only if you think they'll give you a straight answer as with many of our public officials. Clearly, their twenty-twenty vision of America suffers from increasing blindness.
Breaking it down, making it plain, keeping it real and facing reality has become a lost ability in the deceit decade. Dumb-downed communication, integrity, insight and honesty have been a growth industry for most of this new millennium's first decade. We accept moronic and misinformed observations about our daily lives as normal in most media and education.
So, it is suffice to say that less is more when it comes to explaining why pundits and news talkers struggle to understand how and why another relatively young and smart senator from Illinois got and holds our attention. Simply put, beyond the depth and detail he can easily communicate, Senator Obama speaks to and with us about what really matters to us just as "government of the people, by the people, for the people" did in a brief two-plus minute speech by an earlier Illinois politico.
As my father always said, "Simplicity can be difficult for the complicated mind." Nevertheless, as we all pursue the challenges of our choice for change, let's enjoy mainstream media's comic relief in predictably providing profitable podiums for pretentious pre-paradigm pundits pontificating preposterous prognostications about politics and people.
Another dirtbag.
Didn't Hillary vet these people before she hired them....no wonder she lost.
Also, wasn't he suppose to write a book as well.
Anytime Fox hires someone from the left it's only because they are incompetent and unable to put two sentences together,
He deserves FOX News along with that other fool Lanny Davis. Two dirtbags on a dirtbag network.
Chris Wallace said on Fox n Friends that there is waaaay tooooo much ObamaBashing on Fox Noise.
That's right, two months ago, Wallace appeared on FnF and thoroughly chastized Steve Doooooooocy and Brian THE DORKY ONE for their non-stop ObamaBashingSyndrome.
GREAT - Way to go Wolfson !!
Looks like the dems are finally getting some class...
see, if ya live long enough, anything can happen -
Looking forward to the debates between Rove and Wolfson - should be interesting...
Also looking forward to the upcoming debates between Rove and Edwards -
Too bad little Obonzo is afraid to debate McCain -
i'm very glad to see america loves mister barack obama! he will make a great president, and will end the crusade of the tyrant bush.
yes! yes!yes!
Yeah, seems like he's a scarty kat huh?
Well America's corrupt liberal MSM wolfpack press isn't going to like this at all. I think I can hear them howling right now. Bottom line is the corrupt liberal MSM wolfpack chewed on Hillary Clinton througout the primary. They chewed on her until she was weaken enough so that "their fellow pack member" , Obama could win the nomination. Our press is the worst institution in America today, no doubt about it.
The MSM truly did a hatchet job on Hillary - Obonzo's camp did as well - all behind the scenes, though, don'tcha know - similar to the job they did on McCain regarding his military service and qualifications for president -
I may be a Republican and avid McCain supporter, but feel very bad for Hillary and the trashing she received - she deserved MUCH BETTER coverage then she received - here is one from Obonzo's camp that really ticked me off:

text: Dirty Martini Eyeshadow ($5.99 for 0.064 oz.) is described as a "matte olive green." It's a muted, medium-dark olive green with a matte finish and subtle warm undertones. It had fairly good color payoff, while the texture was soft and blendable. This shade lasted eight hours on me. theBalm D4 (LE, $16.00) is slightly darker. NARS Mozambique (P, $25.00) is a cream product. Burberry Khaki (08) (P) is browner. Make Up For Ever #47 (P, $20.00) is richer. See comparison swatches.

Early Voting: Will Missouri Lawmakers Make It Easier For People To Cast Ballots?
"We need to start moving forward. We have an antiquated [system]...that needs to be fixed," Walsh says, noting that in the past, the proposal has been lumped together with other bills that have forced unfair opposition and vetoes.
The bill was discussed this week and is still in committee -- but Walsh says she is hopeful it will move forward next week.
Some Republican opponents to early voting worry that this extended voting period opens the door to potential fraud -- but Walsh says there's no proof.
"Nobody can come up with an example of where it happens," she says. "They all want to claim that people are voting from the cemetery -- but nobody can prove it. It's a nice sound bite, but it's not true."
These are the same arguments that have come up in response to voter ID proposals, which critics say are harmful and unnecessary, given that there aren't real threats of fraud.
If legislators try to attach photo ID to her bill, she'll let it die, Walsh adds.
"Photo ID is more dangerous," she says. "That is a way to suppress the vote."
Here's the bill.

Still something of a novelty, online education is seen relatively positively by Americans for giving students a wide range of curricula options and for providing good value for the money. However, Americans tend to think it provides less rigorous testing and grading, less qualified instructors, and has less credence with employers compared with traditional, classroom-based education.
Public perceptions about online education's ability to deliver education in a format most students can succeed in, as well as its ability to tailor instruction to the individual, are more mixed, but tilt negatively.
In line with these views, Americans' overall assessment of Internet-based college programs is tepid at best. One-third of Americans, 34%, rate such online programs as "excellent" or "good." The majority calls them "only fair" or "poor." In contrast, two-thirds of Americans (68%) rate four-year colleges and universities as excellent or good, and nearly as many (64%) rate community colleges this highly.

Flash-based Websites & Flash Animations
Hey guys, I did a quick search and couldn't find it so decided to toss up a quick thread. I was just wondering what kind of program lets you create those Flash Animations/Websites that have been popping up for the past few years.
I've been working strictly with Notepad and standard HTML for web designing, and have been avoiding it, but I think it's about time I catch up with the times, since I have some free time now to learn it.
Thanks for you help!
Here is a good page for you :)
Er, Flash . . .
Careful though - Flash is good for catching the eye, but it has been horribly abused in the past.
Flash completely defeats the object of client side page rendering (ie HTML).
Too many designers got carried away and thought people would be prepared to sit and watch an irritating preloader (or sometimes several) slowly tick off the percentage loaded, in order to see their shiny artistic gadgetry.
Fat chance. There are a good number of web users now who will just leave as soon as they see Flash. If it doesn't load at the same speed as the rest of the page, you're losing trade.
Thanks for the link, Murlyn and thanks for the tip, jonnyd!
Yeah, I never liked flash site either, but seeing how it's becoming growingly more popular, I feel I should at least know some of the basics.
Thanks again =)

It's tough to choose from among 40 or so but here are a few articles I found interesting. Maybe you will, too.
(1) Sunday, March 4 – The Japan Times. The Justice Ministry has issued a new guideline for handling prisoners with gender identity disorder that allows them to bathe alone and wear the underwear of the gender they identify with, sources said Saturday.
The guideline was issued after some prisoners who were born male but identify themselves as female, filed complaints about their treatment, prompting local bar associations to lobby the ministry and prisons to show more respect in protecting GID prisoners' human rights. Link here for complete article.
(2) NY Review of Books. Why the Global Warming Skeptics Are Wrong
MARCH 22, 2012 William D. Nordhaus http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2012/mar/22/why-global-warming-skeptics-are-wrong/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nybooks+%28The+New+York+Review+of+Books%29

Hence, no link.] In "Being Flynn," based on Nick Flynn's 2004 memoir, a dissolute, delusional ex-con father, Jonathan Flynn (Robert De Niro), and his son Nick (Paul Dano), an aspiring writer struggling with drug addiction, meet up accidentally after an 18-year separation in the homeless shelter where Nick is working. After years of appearing in marginal roles in marginal (if sometimes highly commercial) movies, De Niro finally has a role he can sink his teeth into, but all those years of hamming it up have taken their toll. Even though this is the best sustained work he's done in a long time, he still comes across as more of a Method caricature than a full-fledged flesh-and-blood creation.

American Forces Press Service
This holiday season, families all across America will gather with neighbors and friends to rekindl, Dec. 17, 2001 especially now when they are under such unprecedented attack.
As America's Armed Forces, you are the sharp sword of Freedom. You fight without complaint on foreign seas, in dangerous skies, and on hostile lands. You voluntarily put your lives at risk, and sacrifice your comfort and the comfort of your families, so all of our fellow citizens can enjoy the blessings and benefits of liberty.
It is a sacrifice made even more precious by the fact that you render it so willingly.
In describing the "citizen soldiers" of an earlier era, historian Stephen Ambrose wrote, "At the core (they) knew the difference between right and wrong, and were unwilling to live in a world in which evil triumphed. So they fought and they won, and we and those yet to be born are eternally grateful."
Like those heroes of an earlier era, you too stand against evil the shadowy evil of terrorism. And like them, you also will be victorious. Of that, there is no doubt.
So as the stars of the winter sky shine brightly, and the prayers of people everywhere who long for peace look up to meet them, know that the hearts and prayers of Americans are with you. We salute your courage, we appreciate your sacrifice, and we pray each day for your success.
On behalf of the President, the Department of Defense, and all the American people, I extend our warmest and most heartfelt wishes for a safe and happy holiday season.
Donald H. Rumsfeld

I used GLIDE_CONS_FEAT_FILE to specify the location of a feature file but $SCHRODINGER/glide seems to be ignoring that keyword. What can the problem be?
This is a known problem in the Suite 2009 release. The GLIDE_CONS_FEAT_FILE keyword actually was supported only for writing a feature file with a non-default name, not for reading one, during the docking job.
This issue has been resolved in Suite 2009 Update 2(i.e., Glide v55211), which you can download and install from our website. Meanwhile, you would have to rename/copy your feature file to 'jobname.feat' for each job.

Randgold Climbs as Mali Junta Agrees to Transition: London Mover
April 10 (Bloomberg) -- Randgold Resources Ltd. rose the most in more than four months in London trading after Mali's military junta agreed to hand over power in the country that accounts for about two-thirds of the miner's gold output.
Randgold advanced 270 pence, or 5.2 percent, to 5,425 pence by the close of trading, the steepest gain since Nov. 29. The Jersey, Channel Islands-based company reaffirmed its 2012 gold production target yesterday and said output hasn't been "materially affected" by events in Mali.
"Given that the whole West Africa region united against the junta to force these changes, we believe that Mali will end up a relatively better and more stable place now that this latest flirt with the 'old model' of West African politics is through," Numis Securities said in a note to investors today. "From a geopolitical risk perspective, the whole region has just de-risked a notch."
Mali's military rulers agreed to hand over power to a temporary government that will organize elections, increasing the prospects that sanctions imposed since the coup will be removed. Soldiers unhappy with a lack of resources to combat Touareg rebels overthrew President Amadou Toure's government on March 22.
Randgold operates the Loulo and Gounkoto mines, holding 80 percent stakes, as well as the West African country's Morila operation. It produced 445,600 ounces of gold in Mali last year, about 64 percent of total output.
Avion Gold Corp., which also mines gold in Mali, surged the most in more than six weeks yesterday in Toronto trading. Avion produced 26,256 ounces of gold from its Tabakoto/Segala operations in the first three months of 2012. AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. and Iamgold Corp. also operate mines in the country.
Randgold, which earlier rose as much 10 percent, posted the biggest gain in the city's benchmark FTSE 100 index while the FTSE 350 Mining Index slumped 3.9 percent.

This is the infamous Last HOPE t-shirt that really freaked a lot of people out, both at the conference and in the streets of New York City. We're told that it's sparked equally befuddled responses as the shirts have slowly moved to other parts of the world.
On the front is a chilling graphic showing the figure of Death leading an innocent child holding a balloon to the gates of the Hotel Pennsylvania. Does it represent the government leading innocent hackers to their doom? Is it somehow a symbol for the announced destruction of the hotel? Does the hotel represent Hell and the balloon our salvation?
Nobody knows. But it's a wicked cool shirt.
Oh yeah, on the back is a listing of all of the HOPE conferences, just like names might appear on a tombstone. This, along with the front of the shirt and the fact that the conference was called The Last HOPE, actually made some people think it was all coming to an end.
As if.
But one thing that WILL be coming to an end is our supply of these shirts, as we're only selling what we have left over. It will last for a little while. But nothing lasts forever.

STAMFORD -- In the end, it was all about community.
The 2014 Navigators Stamford Kids In Crisis IT Triathlons on Sunday brought together a slew of communities.
There was the community of Stamford showing its support in this 7th annual KIC IT Triathlon. The police superbly managed the traffic flow to give the cyclists and runners an unimpeded course, emergency medical services kept the athletes cool and safe. Mayor David Martin and School Superintendent WinifriedHamilton greeted the various division champions at the awards ceremony.
There was the community of triathletes showing why they are a special breed. There was the community of volunteers who donated hours of effort. And there was the community of sponsors and fundraisers who amassed the donations to support the important work of Kids in Crisis. KIC provides Connecticut's only free, around-the-clock crisis counseling center and emergency shelter for kids newborn to age 17 along with on-site medical care for kids.
With Mill River Park in downtown Stamford providing an expanded finish line and staging venue, there were two triathlons in this 2014 edition.
The Elite Olympic Triathlon (.9 mile swim at Cummings Beach, 24.8 mile bike race, 6.2 mile run to Mill River Park) was won by Alden Black in 1 hour, 57 minutes, 13 seconds. Andrew Kahley (2:08.13) was runnerup.
"It was a great day. The key was consistent effort. I didn't go out too hard or too fast in any of the three areas," said Black, a Purdue student with ties to West Harrison, N.Y. "It was a challenging course. This is my first year doing triathlons."
"The good swim propelled me," Kahley said. "I like the new bike course. More shade. The hills are fairer. And the Mill River Park finish is better. Today was my third straight weekend race, so I'm tired."
Elizabeth Pratt of Bronxville, N.Y., was the first woman finisher.
In the first-ever KIC Olympic Sprint Triathlon (.5 mile swim, 13.9 mile bike race, 3.2 mile run), Benjamin Green of New York won in 1:10:03 just ahead of runnerup Gus Ellison (1:13:20). Megan Kelly of Stamford (6th overall: 1:18:46) was the first woman finisher.
"This is my first triathlon victory. It's a huge achievement. I've been competing in triathlons for six years," Green said. "This is my fourth weekend triathlon in June. Three Olympic races, one sprint. I prefer the sprint."
Full Throttle Endurance won the team cup as the group to amass the most points. Employees from companies could compete solo or as part of three-person corporate relay teams (one swimmer, one cyclist, one runner) in either triathlon. Companies vied for the Corporate Team Challenge Cup and Triathlon Club Challenge Cup.
But the day was about the fans along the route with signs (Nice Tri!; Tomorrow is a rest day, keep going).
It was about young sons running the final stretch to the finish line alongside their dad.
It was about the Massage Therapy tent being the favorite spot on the grounds for competitiors.
It was about Mary Daley being the top female finisher in the age 60-to-64 group.
"I've been doing triathlons the last five years. I like the varied challenge," Daley explained. "I've run marathons for eight years and run the Boston Marathon four times. Triathlons are healthier."
Due in large part to sweaty computer chips, there may be adjustments in the coming days to the final results of both triathlons. Visit KICITtriathlon.com for updated results.

By Christos Kapsalas
The harmonization of intellectual property rights between different states creates the regulatory certainty required by international investments. International trade secret protection is the most lacking in harmonization in comparison with the other intellectual property rights, because each state's trade secret protection is based on very different approaches.
In the U.S., trade secrets are regulated mainly by varying state laws as each state is free to enact its own statute governing trade secrets. Most states have adopted some form of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act ("UTSA"). Additionally, the misappropriation of trade secrets remains almost unregulated by federal law. In specific, although a criminal cause of action for misappropriation of trade secrets exists under the Economic Espionage Act ("EEA"), there is no federal civil cause of action.1 On the other hand European nations have long standing traditions of protecting trade secrets; despite the fact that their approaches vary from country to country they all protect trade secrets through breach of confidence (fiduciary theory) or unfair competition law, or under contract law.2
While European nations have protections in place, the scope of protection in Europe is on a different, limited, basis which leads to significant practical differences from the U.S. protection of trade secrets. So by contrast to the U.S. policy, the European Commission takes the view that trade secrets do not merit the same level of deference as that accorded to intellectual property rights.3 In Microsoft the Commission decided that Microsoft's refusal to disclose secret interoperability information to its competitors constituted an abuse of a dominant position because this refusal created an unfair competitive advantage for Microsoft.4
The Agreement for Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS Agreement) is the first step for the harmonization of trade secret protection. The TRIPS Agreement is binding on all WTO Members, while currently 153 States have Member status to WTO. Article 39(2) provides protection for undisclosed information as long as (a) the information is secret, in that it is not known or not generally ascertainable to the public, (b) the information has commercial value due to its secrecy and (c) reasonable precautions are being taken to maintain the secrecy.
Furthermore, the TRIPS Agreement provides for specific enforcement of these rights. Specifically, states must grant fair and equitable treatment to all persons entitled to trade secrets (art. 42) as well as provide effective remedies for the violation of these rights (art. 44-46). Moreover, Article 63 dictates that states must publish any relative legislative provision as well as notify the TRIPS Council which is responsible of monitoring states compliance to the convention. Additionally, according to art. 64, any violation of the provisions of the TRIPS Agreement may raise a claim to the dispute settlement mechanisms created in the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) in Articles XXII and XXIII. TRIPS was created as part of the 1988-1994 Uruguay round of renegotiation of the GATT and is an integral part of consideration for the trade benefits granted though the GATT. TRIPS Agreement participants have responded to it, with free trade agreements, and other international pressures by enacting or enhancing trade secret laws similar to U.S. and European models but enforcement remains uneven.
