Sen. Ted Cruz has become such a media star that he trumps Mitch McConnell—even as McConnell went to the Senate floor Wednesday to announce a deal to reopen government and avoid default.
The freshman Republican strode up to the microphones in the Capitol, and media crews immediately flocked the junior senator from Texas.
One cable TV network was so interested in Cruz's speech that it momentarily cut away from McConnell delivering the much-awaited news of an agreement and showed Cruz, praising House Republicans and vowing to fight on.
But Cruz's seconds in the spotlight prompted a quizzical — and perhaps accidental — response from CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "Why did we lea — " Blitzer asked as CNN left coverage of McConnell for Cruz. Seconds later the screen flashed to McConnell.
"All right. Let's leave Ted Cruz. He's obviously opposed to this deal," Blitzer said.
In the Capitol there were whispers that Cruz's news conference, happening at the same time as McConnell's floor statement was a finger in his eye, a way of saying — if there were ever any doubt — that Cruz opposed the deal.
In one turn of phrase, Cruz repudiated the Senate deal, praised House conservatives and foreshadowed fights to come over Obamacare.
"If the American people continue to rise up, I believe the House will continue to listen to the American people and I hope in kind the Senate will begin to listen to the American people also," he said.
Cruz's colleagues, though, sounded weary of the political infighting and reasoned that the deal saved the country from economic ruin.
"It's time to act like adults. It's time to be an adult," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, leaving the closed-door meeting. "I've only been here 37 years, but I've been in these positions before and sooner or later the adults have to come forward and do what's right, do what's best under the circumstances."
Republicans also praised McConnell for coming up with a deal, that they said was the best that could be had under the circumstances.
"I think he's a great leader," Hatch said. "He's one of the brightest guys who has ever sat in the Senate, in the Congress, and there's no question he's a guts, tough, smart guy. And he believes in the country."
For his part, McConnell focused on the positive: reopening of the government, avoidance of default, and presumably an end to the punishment Republicans have been taking in the polls — and a reunification of the party.
"Now it's time for Republicans to unite behind our other crucial goals," he said.

"Jon Stewart could arrive on HBO in time for the November presidential election. In a Paley Media Council interview Thursday with CNN's Brian Stelter, HBO CEO Richard Plepler was asked whether viewers could expect to see Stewart, former host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," on HBO before the general election. 'Yeah, I'm hopeful,' Plepler said."

"President Obama used the White House podium on Friday to dismiss Donald Trump as an unserious candidate to succeed him, and said leading the country isn't a job that's suited to reality show antics." At a briefing with reporters, the president said, "I just want to emphasize the degree to which we are in serious times and this is a really serious job. This is not entertainment. This is not a reality show. This is a contest for the presidency of the United States. And what that means is that every candidate, every nominee needs to be subject to exacting standards and genuine scrutiny."
In the The White House on Thursday night unveiled a series of executive actions to combat money laundering—"among the most comprehensive response yet to the Panama Papers revelations."

Sri Lanka to start second round of bidding for oil blocks
Mon, Feb 18, 2013, 02:19 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Feb 18, Colombo: Sri Lanka plans to launch the second round of bidding for the oil blocks in the Mannar Basin off Sri Lanka's northwest coast at a conference on energy in Houston, Texas.
The bids for the oil blocks will be announced at the IHS CERAWeek 2013 in Houston on March 07, and the announcement will be followed by a road show, Petroleum Resources Development Secretariat Chairman Saliya Wickramasuriya has said in an interview with Daily Mirror.
The Secretariat has informed around 25 oil companies of the launch last Wednesday (13) and many of the companies have shown interest.
The road show will be in London from March 11th to 15th and in Singapore from March 18 to 22.
According to Wickramasuriya, up to 10 offshore blocks would be awarded in the second bidding round.
Cairn Lanka, a subsidiary of Cairn India bought the only block awarded in the first round. Cairn had explored three oil wells in the block in phase one and found petroleum residues in two of them. Exploration on a fourth well is about to start this month after a third well found to be unproductive and plugged in December 2011.

Anchorman 2 Trailer Features Sharks, Non-Vampire Gays
Ron Burgundy's back. In this new trailer for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, Will Ferrell's Burgundy and the rest of the Channel 4 news team head to New York, where they'll join the Global News Network. Steve Carell's Brick returns from the dead, and Paul Rudd's Brian Fantana keeps working that porn 'stache. This time around, however, not only does Ron continue to have issues with female anchors, but with African American ones, too. He also bottle-feeds a shark and learns that gays are not always the same as vampires. Oh, and Brick loses his legs to a green screen.
Check out the trailer below. The film hits theaters on December 20.

'Cool dude' hops away with prize
Relevant offers
Your Christchurch
A 4.6kg Flemish Giant called Bunny Bunny Boo Boo hopped away as best pet of the day from Christchurch's rabbit and guinea pig show.
The two-year-old bunny claimed the crown because he is a "cool dude", one of his judge's, Rowena Barrier, said.
"He is relaxed, friendly and cuddly - plus he is handsome," she said.
The Canterbury Cavy [pedigree guinea pig] and Rabbits Fanciers Association pet show attracted 47 rabbits, 30 guinea pigs and about 100 people in Hei Hei yesterday.
Chubby rabbits, lean rabbits, floppy-eared rabbits and red-eyed rabbits snoozed in their cages as judges and organisers assessed the competition.
A four-month-old Satin bred bunny called Ebby won best in show out of the rabbits and a long-haired ginger guinea pig called Angus secured the same title in the cavy section.
The winning guinea pig's owner, Lisa Richardson, 26, said Angus would be rewarded with treats when he returned home.

Why you should join the socialists

Poll survey indicates narrow lead for ruling Pak party

Pakistani voters appear divided on who to vote for in the upcoming general election, with the ruling Pakistan People's Party having a very slender lead over other key parties, according to a new survey.
Twenty-nine per cent of the people surveyed said they would vote for the PPP, 25 per cent for the main opposition PML-N and 20 per cent for Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf.
Respondents were asked who they had voted for most frequently in the past and voting histories indicated the PML-N's vote bank had remained stable while the PPP's appeared to have significantly declined.
The Political Barometer survey, conducted by Herald magazine and Sustainable Development Policy Institute, an Islamabad-based think tank, covered 1,283 respondents in 54 districts across Pakistan.
In line with expectations, 55 per cent of respondents who identified themselves as Sindhis said they would vote for the PPP in the general election expected to be held by May.
Forty-four per cent of Hindko speakers intend to vote for the PML-N.
Forty-four per cent of Hindko speakers also support Imran Khan's party, suggesting a close contest between the two parties within that demographic.
Thirty-four per cent of Pashtuns are in favour of Khan's party while only 11 per cent said they would vote for the Awami National Party, which currently rules the northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
In keeping with the PPP's pro-poor image, approximately a third of those with a monthly family income of up to Rs 30,000 plan to vote for the party.
Among higher income brackets, support for the PPP dropped to 11 per cent.
A majority of those earning over Rs 2,50,000 said they intend to vote for the Muttahida Qaumi Movement or the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (33 per cent each).
Dispelling the impression that support for Imran Khan's party is concentrated in younger generations, the survey indicated that the party derives support from all ages.

Grilled Shrimp with Couscous Salad
A colorful salad of couscous, tomatoes and watercress makes a tasty bed for skewers of grilled shrimp. If you can't get beautiful summer tomatoes, it's better to leave the tomatoes out. Substitute roasted red bell peppers, if you like.
Level: Moderate
Serves: 4
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
- ¼ c. olive oil
- ½ tsp. dried tarragon
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 lb. large shrimp
- 2 c. canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1⅓ c. couscous
- 2½ c. watercress
- 2 scallions including green tops
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- ½ lb. tomatoes
- ½ tsp. fresh-ground black pepper
- Lemon wedges
- Light the grill or heat the broiler. In a small saucepan, combine the oil, tarragon and garlic. Cook over moderately low heat until the garlic just starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, let the oil cool slightly, and then discard the garlic. Thread the shrimp onto metal or wooden skewers and brush with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the tarragon oil.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a boil with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt. Stir in the couscous. Cover, remove from the heat, and let sit for 5 minutes. In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, toss the couscous with the watercress, scallions, lemon juice, tomatoes, the remaining tarragon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
- Meanwhile, grill or broil the shrimp, turning once, until just done, about 5 minutes. Serve the shrimp skewers on top of the couscous salad with lemon wedges on the side.
- Test-Kitchen Tip: Wooden skewers are handy for grilling. Just be sure to soak them in water for at least ten minutes before using, or they could burn.
- Wine Recommendation: Shrimp is often best with a full-bodied white wine, but with all the watercress in this salad you'll want some acidity as well. Try a sémillon from Washington State or a sauvignon blanc from California.

Hillary Clinton is taking a bullet for team Obama, by saying she accepts full responsibility for the deaths of Americans in Libya last September. The attacks have been controversial because the Obama administration refused to increase security and later denied their terrorist origins.
Hillary Clinton has taken responsibility for the poor security that led to the deaths of Americans in Libya.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
10/16/2012 (3 years ago)
Published in Politics & Policy
Keywords: Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, Libya, Obama, attacks, seppuku
WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - "I take responsibility" Clinton said, in a statement that could end her political career. She attempted to insulate Barack Obama by saying, "I'm in charge of the State Department's 60,000 plus people all over the world. The president and vice president wouldn't be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals. They're the ones who weigh all of the threats and the risks and the needs and make a considered decision."
The remarks follow a week of battering by Republican legislators who say Obama acted irresponsibly by refusing to improve security around the Benghazi embassy and a nearby CIA installation, despite pleas to do so.
The September 11 attacks on Benghazi were carried out methodically by an Al Qaeda-sponsored militia with at least one Al Qaeda officer observed at the scene. The attacks used heavy weapons and explosives and were coordinated against the embassy and a secret CIA intelligence gathering installation.
The Obama administration tried for several weeks to insist the attacks were the result of spontaneous protests against a viral video that had been posted on YouTube for months. That video depicted the Islamic Prophet Mohammed as a fundamentally evil character.
The incident, and Obama's poor response to it has substantially blunted his foreign policy credentials.
Obama has already taken a beating on his domestic policies and by losing his foreign policy credentials, it appears that he may lose the election.
In response, Obama is looking toward increasingly desperate measures to regain the lead. Among those measures are plans for an aggressive debate stance, the political sacrifice of Hillary Clinton, and a possible military strike on targets in Libya and Mali.
In fact, multiple sources within the government and media have confirmed that US drones are already operating over Libya, waiting for targets and orders to strike. Unnamed military sources have said that northern Mali is also a target, which the administration says has become a new haven for Al Qaeda after a recent coup in that country's capital.
Ultimately, this should spell the end of Clinton's career. Her degree of responsibility, while great, may not be ultimate, however. That responsibility lies with Obama. Unfortunately, he is unlikely to accept it since it would be politically inconvenient to do so just days away from the election.

Spotify rolls out an updated iOS app
Claims improved playback features
MUSIC STREAMING SERVICE Spotify has updated its iOS app, sprucing up the user interface and adding a few features to make music playback simpler and more intuitive.
Among the revised elements in Spotify version 0.6.0 is the addition of a Now Playing bar, so you can always see what you're listening to along the bottom of the screen in the app.
The Now Playing bar remains at the bottom of the app at all times so you can keep an eye on track details while looking through playlists. It also means that you can quickly access the Now Playing menu if a song comes on that you're not in the mood to hear.
One thing that makes life easier is that you can switch to the next queued track by swiping along this bar, and the play/pause button is also displayed at the edge so there's no need to drag it up to select the play or skip option. Dragging it up, or tapping it will show more information about the track that's playing, where you can then add it to your starred tracks or a playlist, share it or control the volume by tapping on the track image.
The other newly added feature is an updated Track menu. While browsing through playlists, you can tap a "..." button which is displayed by the right hand side of the track title to load a redesigned context menu. This will let you Star, Queue, Share or add tracks to other playlists without having to listen to them, making it easier to organise your music collection without the need to pause, skip or change tracks.
Nothing new has been added to the general options, but they have been made to appear slightly larger than before, with Search, Radio and Playlist commands appearing much bolder and easier to read.
Spotify says the update includes a few general bug fixes to correct well known errors in earlier versions, such as a "track only available online" issue.
"This would sometimes appear after start-up, or when you'd been offline for a little while," Spotify said in the update at the Apple App store. "Not any more."
Other errors fixed include a lock screen repair so that the app will now always display the correct track when accessing its functions while the iOS device is locked, and a Shuffle problem so that the feature now switches off after you've used Shuffle Play on an album or playlist.
Overall, the Spotify app update for iOS delivers some much needed features that allow users to navigate through the app more swiftly and organise playlists more easily.
We've had no word from Spotify yet as to when it will release these updates for Android devices. µ

11/18/2015 - "First time my mom and I saw this catalog - we combined an order and I placed it since she doesn't use the computer. Great Ornaments and the website was very user friendly to order from. I had the order placed in about 5 minutes, very simple. I will definately go back to this catalog to order in the future, I signed up for year round emails. Colleen M."
11/19/2015 - "This has to be one of the best online shopping experiences I have had in a long time. The ornaments were wrapped with such care and all expectations were met. I will order again from this place. Stacey L."
8/11/2015 - "I appreciate the vast variety of ornaments for personalization. I can always find one that is special for each grandchild. This has been a custom since at least 2009. What I miss is the opportunity to add, "Merry Christmas, Grandpa and Grandma G." I remember doing that in the beginning years. Joan G."
12/9/2015 - "I called because I couldn't find an ornament with 2 cats! The girl added what I needed and helped me select the perfect ornament. Love your company! Colleen W."
8/11/2015 - "I buy our family an ornament every year. I wouldn't buy our ornament anywhere else. Also- GRANDPARENT PRESENTS! Jennifer "
6/13/2015 - "The Post Office truck glass ornament is outstanding! It is one of the presents I'm already looking forward to giving on Christmas to my son-in-law who is a mailman. He will love it! I wish all the ornaments could have a choice of hair color. My children are blonde and my son-in-law has black hair. That would be outstanding. Jan A."
12/28/2015 - "I absolutely loved the ornaments and will order again for future holidays. Suz"
11/22/2015 - "This is the fourth year I have purchased items from the OrnamentShop and I plan on making purchases next year also. Bob N."
12/6/2015 - "Great site except you might consider adding a Comments Section right before the order is submitted in the event there is something different that is needed. For instance, I don't want the year (2015) to show on the front of the ornament because I think it would look too cramped. So, I had to send a separate email and hope that my order and the email get to the right person at the right time! Susan M."
11/12/2015 - "I love their ornaments. Such a variety to pick from. I buy for my younger grandchildren, and my great grandchildren.Lorraine G."

Feb. 24, 2014
ROSEMOUNT, Ill. - For the second time in three weeks to start the 2014 season, Minnesota softball senior Sara Moulton was named the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week, the conference office announced Monday afternoon. It is the second weekly conference honor for the Gophers in 2014 and is the 10th Pitcher of the Week Award the Eagan, Minn. native has earned in her career.
For the second of three weeks on the season, senior pitcher Sara Moulton pitched three times without conceding a run. The senior went 3-0 to improve to 8-1 with a 0.92 ERA on the year and gave up just three hits and a walk in 17 innings of work.
Moulton recorded 28 strikeouts, including the 1,000th of her career (she finished the week with 1,016) and threw her fifth no-hitter as a Gopher against Hampton Saturday. She is now tied with pitching coach Piper Ritter for the most career no-hitters in school history. Friday against George Washington, she was perfect through 6.2 innings.
On the weekend, the Eagan, Minn. native yielded just one extra-base hit and held opponents to a .056 batting average. Moulton now has 93 wins in her career and has thrown 98 complete games, of which 42 have gone for shutouts. All of those marks are school records.
Minnesota is off to best start in school history at 12-1.
Next weekend, the Gophers will compete in the Louisville Slugger Classic in Tempe, Ariz. On that trip, Minnesota will open play Friday with games versus Detroit and South Carolina before playing Ball State and Florida International Saturday. The weekend will conclude with a showdown against No. 4-ranked host Arizona State.
Minnesota Set for Senior Weekend
Minnesota is hosting the Maryland Terrapins for its final home series this weekend.
Wednesday's Doubleheader Cancelled
Wednesday's doubleheader between Minnesota and North Dakota State has been cancelled.
Gophers Hosting NDSU

The River Valley School District will have an election on February 7, 2012, with residents of the district voting on how to spend the state-wide one cent sales tax funds that the district receives each year.
The document that determines how the district will spend this funding is called the Revenue Purpose Statement. River Valley's present Revenue Purpose Statement will expire in 2014. River Valley residents will be updating that statement through this vote.
A story published in the Sioux City Journal Friday stating that the River Valley School District was having an election to vote in a new sales tax was incorrect, according to River Valley Superintendent Julie DeStigter.
The district's past Revenue Purpose Statement allowed the state's one cent sales tax funds to be used for property tax relief and expenditures such as the purchase of buses, equipment, technology, and buildings, repairing, remodeling, and improving of buildings and grounds, and reduction in bonded indebtedness.
The district has benefited greatly from this funding source with the following major expenditures of building projects to include an industrial technology building, bus barn, elementary school addition, and Jr/Sr high school addition, removal of asbestos and demolition of the Washta building, resurfaced classroom floors, repaired roofs, purchased school busses, resurfaced the school track, built softball and baseball fields, installed fire alarm systems, purchased, moved, and updated portable classrooms, repaired heating systems in buildings, replaced sidewalks, expanded parking lots, installed a security system, improved internet access to the district and lowered our bonded indebtedness.
Voting will take place on February 7, 2012, with polls open at noon and closing at 8:00 p.m. Voters within River Valley school district must vote at the following sites:
Cherokee County Residents -Quimby Community Center
Ida County Residents - Cushing Fire Station
Woodbury County Precincts numbered in the 30's - Correctionville Community Building
Woodbury County Precincts numbered in the 40's - Cushing Fire Station
Those with questions about the Revenue Purpose Statement, please contact the River Valley Superintendent's office at 712-372-4420.
