text: The Tallulah Black wiki last edited by link2601 on 04/05/16 10:16AM View full history Current EventsTallulah has most recently appeared in All Star Western, pursuing a man named Lucius Bennet. When she was close to killing him Lucius bodyguard appeared, and threw Tallulah out the window where she was thrown out the window. She was rescued by Jonah Hex who took her to his friend, Doctor Amadeus Arkham to have her treated. A few hours later she wakes up, and threatens the doctor over putting her in a dress when he changed her clothes to treat her, and then makes him fix her breakfast. Shortly afterwards, Jonah returns, Tallulah runs up and kisses him, and then Jonah throws her over his shoulder and takes her upstairs.OriginTallulah was raped, mutilated and left for dead by the men who murdered her family. Jonah Hex helped her get revenge on the men and since then she has also become a bounty hunter and eventually Jonah's lover.Character CreationTallulah was created by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray.Other Media AppearancesJonah Hex ( 2010 Film)Megan Fox plays the role of a prostitute named Lilah, which is very loosely based on Tallulah. She serves as Jonah's love interest in the film, and at one point he has to rescue her, though Lilah proves to be very capable at defending herself.

I ordered a mattress from mattress.com in December 5th, 2013. I decided to return the mattress without using it a single day. It was still sitting in my garage as delivered.
Called the company to schedule a refund and a pick up. They came to pick it up on 12/27/13, but the refund is still not issued to my creditcard as of 1/19/14. That's 21 days. This is not acceptable. I contacted them on 1/2/14 and 1/7/14 to ask for the refund, but they are still not refunding it. Giving various excuses and beating around the bush. Debbie Hayes is the one who's playing the game. Stay away from the company and from Debbie Hayes.

We were lucky enough to catch up with the gorgeous Jelena to get to know her better and talk all things sun, summer and style…
1. What is your favourite piece from the figleaves collection?
My favourite piece is the Icon Spot Mesh Shaping Swimsuit with the Icon Spot Mesh Maxi Skirt. It made me feel very sophisticated and elegant which is something I don't usually feel in a swimsuit. It was a nice feeling!
2. figleaves.com is passionate about making women feel beautiful and confident. How did the clothes make you feel?
I felt very comfortable and the clothes fit me perfectly, so I definitely felt confident and beautiful. Well done for figleaves! They achieved exactly all the things they are passionate about with me.
3. How would you describe the collection in three words?
Fun, glamorous and exotic.
4. What is your favourite holiday destination?
The Maldives. It is so beautiful and peaceful. I love the warm sea, lots of sun and good food.
5. How would you describe your summer style?
I like kaftans and wear them a lot in the summer. The Riveria Rib Bikini with Congo Kimono Kaftan that I wore at the photo shoot would always be my choice.
6. What would we find in your beach bag?
I always take my Kindle, sunglasses, 50+ sun cream and a hat.
7. Glamorous poolside goddess or boho beach chic?
Boho beach chic.
8. What is your ultimate summer song?
Oh, I'm not sure! The one I liked during the photo shoot is Get lucky by Daft Punk. I heard it will be a big hit this summer!
9. What did you enjoy most about the photo shoot?
The people who were part of it and the atmosphere. It was like a little pool party with a beautiful view and a lot of beautiful clothes.
10. The pictures look gorgeous! Is modelling something you'd like to pursue?
Thank you! I really had a lot of fun, but I think it's too early to speak about a modelling career. I really enjoy my work and it doesn't leave me that much free time.
11. The Novak Djokovic Foundation is an integral part of your life. Can you tell us a bit more about that?
It is really as you said – an integral part of my life – and I am so blessed to have such a rewarding job. We work hard every day, year round to bring education to underprivileged children in Serbia, because at the end of the day that is one thing that nobody can take away from them. We are especially focused on pre-school education, and we are planning to make it available to all the children because now that is not the case.
More than 51% of children are not enrolled in pre-school programs either because of poverty, lack of space in kindergartens, because they live too far or because their parents don't understand the importance of it. Imagine, more than 51% of the children participate in organised activities and play with other kids for the first time when they turn 6 and education becomes obligatory. Some of them never held a book before that. That's really sad.
12. What are your plans for the charity over the next few years? And how can we get involved?
First of all, I have to say that figleaves is already very much involved. With their generous donation we can support many projects and help many kids. Our plans for the future are really big. We are in the process of opening 4 pre-school centres in Serbia where more than 100 children will get a chance to go through high quality programs and develop their skills before enrolling in mandatory school.
The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, who is the Global Ambassador of the Novak Djokovic Foundation, is planning to come to Serbia and donate her books. Also, we are financing one very big 3 year program by UNICEF with the aim to prevent the institutionalisation of children under 3 by giving support to the families at risk of separation.
Apart from that, we support organisations that work with children and finance their programs and projects. Just recently we donated books and toys and rewarded children with good grades in schools with new bikes. We are organising two fundraising events this year. One will be in London on the 8th of July in Roundhouse and the other one will be on the 10th September in New York in Capitale. Whoever would be interested to come and support our events can do so by purchasing a ticket or table can contact our US office on the following email address: email@example.com

People for People Fund's clients hold a special place in volunteers' hearts
The volunteers at the Times Herald-Record's People for People office have helped hundreds of local people over the years, and those volunteers say, they meet people they will never forget.
Volunteer Barbara Rohmer has been with People for People since 2006, volunteering, she said, because she liked that all the donations stayed local and that almost every penny went back out into the community.
"There are no big administrative expenses," she said.
Rohmer gets to know the clients she helps; she interviews them, lending a compassionate ear and helping them apply.
A special request
It was not long after she started volunteering when an unusual application crossed her desk, and it's a case that remains special to her.
Common requests, fund officials say, are for things like a car repair, rent or maybe an insurance payment.
This Orange County couple, Rohmer recalled, needed a dog.
Not just any dog, though — a service dog. The husband had multiple sclerosis, and a service dog could restore some of the independence he felt slipping away.
And although they could manage the cost of the dog itself — a beautiful black Lab — they'd also have to go to Pennsylvania for three weeks of training.
"The travel and the hotel was going to be too much," said Rohmer.
'I'll always remember ...'
It was the wife who reached out to People for People, and together they determined that if the fund helped with lodging — she had found an economical efficiency hotel where she could cook their meals — their wish for a service dog would be realized.
"And they did, they got their dog," said Rohmer.
"I'll always remember that couple."
Fact Box
People for People Fund
The People for People Fund helps local people who are normally able to take care of their own needs but are unable to do so when a financial emergency arises. These individuals in general have been steadily employed and are unlikely to be eligible for public assistance. Since 1985, the fund has helped thousands of local people.
To learn more about contributing, volunteering or applying for help, call 343-1663 or visit Recordspeoplefund.org.

//only loop through categories which have subcategories
if( get_categories('parent='.$cat->term_id) ) :

I added a pagination code block in there:
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$cat_posts = get_posts('numberposts=3&paged=$paged&category_name='.$sub_cat_name);
but it doesn't seem to work. I have WP-Pagination installed and I used the call to that function and it doesn't work either. It's like my code is immune to pagination. When I say it doesn't work, i mean that i get no pagination but no real decriptive errors or any error at all either.
Can anyone who can read this php better than me help please. I wrote it a while ago and can't really remember how it works or what I am doing wrong.
Thank you very much for your time.

Aims and Scope
Journal of Drug Policy Analysis (JDPA) publishes peer-reviewed articles related to every aspect of the problems posed by abusable psychoactives, licit and illicit, anywhere in the world. We publish analytic contributions to the public and scholarly conversation about how to deal with the issues surrounding drug policy. Contributions may be data-driven or conceptual, and may incorporate any of the methods of the social and biological sciences, of the professions of medicine, public health, law, law enforcement, and public management, or of the humanities. Contributions will be evaluated purely on their analytic merit, and not on their agreement with the view of the editorial board. It is not necessary that a submission reach a firm policy conclusion; instead the author may focus on illuminating the stakes in a given policy choice, and the terms of the tradeoffs among the values and interests in play.
The Journal of Drup Policy Analysis is proud to announce the new Editor's Choice free access article feature. To download the featured article free of charge, please click the link below.

Submission of Manuscripts
Instructions for Authors
Final Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
Please find here details on copyediting, typesetting, and layout requirements pertaining to final manuscript submission to this journal. All manuscripts must have correct formatting to be considered ready for publication.
The EdiKit system has been designed to improve the scholarly publication process for authors. Among the many improvements we offer over traditional journals, the most significant is that we have dramatically shortened the period between the initial submission and the final publication of a peer-reviewed article. Much of this time savings is due to the innovative use of electronic publication. These innovations, however, require certain changes in the way authors need to prepare accepted manuscripts for electronic publication.
De Gruyter does not copyedit manuscripts for this journal until further notice. However, De Gruyter does offer support to authors during the process. Authors are their own copyeditors and typesetters. This means that authors need to pay greater attention to the editing and look of their manuscripts than is typically required by print journals. If you have reasons to doubt your proficiency with respect to spelling, grammar, etc. (e.g., because English is not your native language), then you may wish to employ—at your expense—the services of a professional copyeditor.
Please get in touch with the copyeditors directly to discuss details.

- Use a single column layout with both left and right margins justified. (Footnotes and references must be both left- and right- justified as well.)
- Indent all paragraphs except those following a section heading.
- An indent should be at least 10 em-spaces.
- Equations, long quotations, theorems, propositions, special remarks, tables, figures, etc. should be set off from the surrounding text by additional space above and below. Otherwise, do not insert an extra space between paragraphs of text.
- Do not "widow" or "orphan" text; make sure that headings are on the same page as the text that follows them, and do not begin a page with the last line of a paragraph. This also applies to titles or notes attached to tables.
- There should be no pages where more than a quarter of the page is empty space, unless it is absolutely impossible to do so.
- All text should be fully justified, left and right (i.e., flush with the left and right margins).
TYPE and SIZE
We cannot accept Type3 fonts. The following is a brief guide to fonts with respect to layout.
- Font:
- Main Body—12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Equations—12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Footnotes—10 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Tables, graphs & figures—Text accompanying graphs, figures and tables should be no smaller than 8 pt.
Use Times or the closest comparable font available, except, possibly, where special symbols are needed. If you desire a second font, for instance for headings, use a sans serif font (e.g., Arial or Computer Modern Sans Serif).
- Set the font color to black for the majority of the text. De Gruyter encourages authors to take advantage of the ability to use color in the production of figures, maps, images, and graphs. However, you need to appreciate that this will cause some of your readers problems when they print the document on a black and white printer. For this reason, you are advised to avoid the use of colors in situations where their translation to black and white would render the material illegible or incomprehensible.
- Please ensure that there are no colored mark-ups or comments in the final version, unless they are meant to be part of the final text. (You may need to "accept all changes" in track changes or set your document to "normal" in final markup.)
EMPHASIZED TEXT, TITLES, and FOREIGN TERMS
- To indicate text you wish to emphasize, use italics rather than underlining. The use of color to emphasize text is discouraged.
- Foreign terms should be set in italics rather than underlined.
- Titles of books, movies, etc., should be set in italics rather than underlined.
Headings (e.g., title of sections) should be distinguished from the main body text by their fonts or by using small caps.
- Use the same font face for all headings and indicate the hierarchy by reducing the font size.
- Put space above and below headings. Spacing must be consistent around all headings.
- Be consistent in whether or not you use headline case, or you capitalize the first word and leave the rest in lower-case.
- Footnotes must appear at the bottom of the page on which they are referenced rather than at the end of the paper.
- Footnotes must be in 10 pt. Times or closest comparable font available.
- They must be single spaced, and there must be a footnote separator rule (line).
- Please make sure there is no excess blank space above or below the footnote line divider.
- Footnote numbers or symbols in the text must follow, rather than precede, punctuation.
- Excessively long footnotes are better handled in an appendix.
- All footnotes should be fully justified, left and right (i.e., flush with the left and right margins).
- If figures are included, use high-resolution figures, preferably encoded as encapsulated * PostScript (eps).
- To the extent possible, tables and figures should appear in the document near where they are referenced in the text.
- Large tables or figures should be put on pages by themselves.
- Make sure to use at least 8 pt. font size in tables, figures and graphs.
- Everything must be easily readable when viewed on a computer screen at 100% and when physically printed.
- In no case should tables or figures be in a separate document or file. All tables and figures must fit within 1.5" margins on all sides (top, bottom, left and right) in both portrait and landscape view.
MATHEMATICS and EQUATIONS
- Roman letters used in mathematical expressions as variables must be italicized. Roman letters used as part of multi-letter function names should not be italicized. Subscripts and superscripts must be a smaller font size than the main text.
- Use 12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Type short mathematical expressions inline.
- Longer expressions must appear as display math, as must expressions using many different levels (e.g., such as fractions).
- Important definitions or concepts can also be set off as display math.
- Number your equations sequentially.
- Insert a blank line before and after each equation.
- Whether equation numbers are on the right or left is the choice of the author(s). However, make sure to be consistent in this.
- Avoid symbols and notation in unusual fonts. This will not only enhance the clarity of the manuscript, but it will also help ensure that it displays correctly on the reader's screen and prints correctly.
- When proofing your document, pay particular attention to the rendering of the mathematics, especially symbols and notation drawn from other-than-standard fonts.
- Within the text of your manuscript, use the author-date method of citation. For instance, "As noted by Smith (1776)."
- When there are two authors, use both last names. For instance, "Edlin and Reichelstein (1996) claim … "
- If there are three or more authors give the last name of the first author and append et al. For instance, a 1987 work by Abel, Baker, and Charley, would be cited as "Abel et al. (1987)."
- If two or more cited works share the same authors and dates, use "a," "b," and so on to distinguish among them. For instance, "Jones (1994b) provides a more general analysis of the model introduced in Example 3 of Jones (1994a)."
- After the first cite in the text using the author-date method, subsequent cites can use just the last names if that would be unambiguous. For example, Edlin and Reichelstein (1996) can be followed by just Edlin and Reichelstein provided no other Edlin and Reichelstein article is referenced; if one is, then the date must always be attached.
- When citations appear within parentheses, use commas—rather than parentheses or brackets—to separate the date from the surrounding text. For instance, " … (see Smith, 1776, for an early discussion of this)."
It is the author's obligation to provide complete references with the necessary information. Our editors do not check this.
- After the last sentence of your submission (text or appendix), please insert a line break—not a page break—and begin your references on the same page.
- Do not split an individual reference between two pages. If the entirety of the reference does not fit on the page it starts on, then move the entire reference to start on the following page.
- References must be in alphabetical order and have margins that are both left- and right- justified. You may choose not to right-justify the margin of individual references if the spacing looks too awkward.
- Use hanging indents for citations (i.e., the first line of the citation should be flush with the left margin and all other lines should be indented from the left margin by a set amount). Citations should be single-spaced with extra space between citations.
- Within the references section, the citations can be formatted as you like, provided (i) the formatting is consistent and (ii) each citation begins with the last name of the first author. That is, the following would all be acceptable:
Smith, Adam (1776) The Wealth of Nations, …
Smith, A., The Wealth of Nations, … , 1776.
Smith, Adam: The Wealth of Nations, 1776, …

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Georgia linebacker Akeem Hebron will miss the remainder of the season after being injured in practice.
Hebron, a sophomore who played sparingly in six games this season, sustained a fracture dislocation of the left ankle at the end of Tuesday's practice. He will be out four to six months.
In addition, tight end Aron White went down with a sprained shoulder and won't be able to play when the ninth-ranked Bulldogs travel to No. 11 LSU on Saturday.
White, a redshirt freshman who started one game at the injury-plagued position, sprained his right shoulder Tuesday and will be evaluated week to week.
On a more promising note, Georgia expects a pair of senior starters, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and tight end Tripp Chandler, to play at LSU after missing the last two games with injuries.
The Bulldogs practiced for 90 minutes Wednesday in shorts and shoulder pads.

Definition of the last or final straw in English:
the last (or final) straw
A further difficulty or annoyance, typically minor in itself but coming on top of a series of difficulties, that makes a situation unbearable: his affair was the last straw
From the proverb the last straw breaks the (laden) camel's back
More example sentences
- But the recent incident, just two doors up from her house, involving a truck driver who has since admitted being over the drink drive limit, was the final straw.
- The problem of the compensation payment, coupled with difficulties in keeping up with Inland Revenue repayments, proved the final straw for the club.
- Shops and vehicles have been targeted in the latest series of attacks in Kew and it has proved the final straw for local people.

Not the whole truth
AUTHOR: Kathy Cascanet (Ozols) - ()
SUBMITTED: Sunday, May 18, 2014POSTED: Sunday, May 18, 2014
I happened upon this article on the internet and I can't let these untruths pass by. Patrick Cascanet was my brother. Yes, he did die in prison, he did suffer and he was falsely accused and convicted.
My brother was NOT a child molester nor was he a pedophile. John Artekis, the prosecuting attorney on this case is the person that should be ashamed of himself and he is the instigator here. He inflamed witnessess, twisted facts, caused children to say things that were not true and made their parents believe that my brother molested these boys. I was with my brother on his death bed and he denied these accusations to his dying breath. I knew my brother, his family was also persecuted and ruined because of this horrific mess. If I had the money and the means I would clear my brother's name and pull this entire horrible situation to the forfront of the media and once and for all the truth, the full truth would come out for all involved.
The only thing my brother EVER did was physically throw three teenage boys out of the local community center for acting like a bunch of hoodlums and they concocted this entire story to get back at my brother. They made up stories and their parents went to Artekis and the story took off from there. There is so much more to this case than was ever put in the media or news reports. Small town New York politics definitely ruined lives, many lives, there are no winners or losers here. There is only heartache, pain, lies, ruined lives, false accusations, more lies and extremely upset parents. Who wouldn't be upset if an attorney told you your child was being exposed to a "child molester/pedophile"....BEFORE my brothe was ever convicted in a court of law, he was convicted in the eyles of small town America.
I will not use this rebuttal to bring forth the facts as I know them, but I will use it to say that this article is only one persons point of view. This man, Patrick Cascanet was a father, a husband, a brother, a son. He would not ever harm a child and he was wrongfully accused and convicted. That is my truth, my brother's truth, his childrens truth, his family truth and God's truth!

I was curious if you could contact me at JesseEFinn ( at gmail.com; @ substitutes for at; just didn't want arbitrary crawler to farm my email address and get spam).
Also the reporter's name would be helpful; I think I read the majority of the articles about the case though. It's honestly sickening and this is just my opinion, he should have had more jail time and the fact that you were treated as you were, should have been investigated by a higher party.
I can't wait to move from this county, as mean as that sounds.

Posted on 07/19/2002 1:13:04 PM PDT by churchillbuff
July 18, 2002
Republican Outlook For Midterms: Suddenly Dangerous
While polling has not yet recorded a dramatic turn in public opinion against President Bush or the GOP, events of the past few weeks have substantially increased the likelihood that the 2002 midterm elections will resemble other midterms, when the president's party is on the defensive and suffers losses.
None of the individual business scandals or controversies surrounding Harken Energy or Halliburton alone would have been enough to damage the White House seriously. Enron had little or no partisan political fallout, though Democrats tried their best to demonize business and to connect the president and his party to the company's demise.
But, taken together, the recent rash of bad news - including a sinking stock market, concern about the economy's recovery, the demise of WorldCom and Arthur Andersen, and questions about administration officials' past business practices - is much more likely to affect the public opinion about the president.
Bush's overall strength in national polls has rested on public approval of his handling of international and security issues. His job approval numbers have generally tracked with public attitudes on his handling of the war on terrorism, not his handling of the economy.
As attention draws inward, to domestic issues in general and the economy in particular, voters are likely to reassess their evaluation of Bush. Self-identified Democrats are likely to become more partisan and more critical of his performance.
The risk for the Republicans is that some voters, even if they don't hold the president primarily responsible for their stock losses or for corporate fraud and mismanagement, will grow angry, frustrated or merely impatient with the negative news. If they do, they might decide to send a message of change to the president by voting against his party's candidates in November.
Even if GOP voters remain loyal to the president, all of the bad news could depress Republican turnout. And that could be enough to turn a neutral political election into a good Democratic year.
The fundamental problem for Bush is that for the next three and a half months he and his entire party could well be on the defensive, while Democratic candidates around the country press for more White House action and raise questions about the president's leadership.
For months, neither party has found a compelling message to move large numbers of voters. Democrats have been trying to recycle old issues that failed to deliver them a majority in the House in the past three elections. Social Security and prescription drug coverage, the two best Democratic issues, appear to have only limited appeal, especially since House Republicans passed their own prescription drug plan.
Republicans can claim legislative accomplishments, including the tax cut, education reform and airport security, but they have a relatively thin remaining agenda. GOP candidates for November have, so far, been stressing support for the president's leadership on the war on terrorism, but those hopefuls will have to come up with new campaign messages if domestic issues start to eclipse national security concerns among voters.
With accounting and business questions spooking Wall Street - and without a strong, highly regarded secretary of the Treasury (such as Robert Rubin) to calm investors and speak effectively for the administration - Bush has no easy answer to his developing political problems.
The anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks could give the president a breather from negative stories about domestic issues. And a stock market rally in the next few months and new evidence of a rebounding economy would, of course, relieve a great deal of pressure on the president and by implication on his party's candidates. But Bush cannot now assume that he is in control of the national agenda.
If Bush's job approval does drop and a generalized anxiety increases in the electorate, it could increase the number of Republican-held House seats in play this year and improve the prospects of Democratic candidates and open-seat hopefuls. That, in turn, would increase the odds of a Democratic net gain in November, including a gain large enough to win a House majority.
Still, the limited number of competitive House districts continues to cushion the GOP against major losses.
The impact of a "normal" midterm election on the fight for the Senate could be muted as well, though a weaker Bush couldn't be good news for Norm Coleman in Minnesota, Greg Ganske in Iowa, Jim Talent in Missouri, Tim Hutchinson in Arkansas and other Republican Senate candidates.
The bottom line is clear. Democratic prospects for House and Senate gains have improved in the past few weeks. And that should make the White House and the GOP campaign committees increasingly nervous.
A lot of freepers are wishing it won't be so, but common sense suggests otherwise.
While polling has not yet recorded a dramatic turn in public opinion against President Bush or the GOP,
Solid fact.
events of the past few weeks have substantially increased the likelihood that the 2002 midterm elections will resemble other midterms, when the president's party is on the defensive and suffers losses.
Blatent speculation posing as "news."
The writer admits it's speculation - - - but a hunch based on experience and common sense. Do you REALLY think a stock market crash (which is the only way to describe the 20 percent - or more drop this year) isn't gonna affect a lot of people's outlooks. I, for one, was a big Bush backer - and will vote for him again if he's the GOP standard bearer in 04 - - but I'm disgusted at his paltry and slow-motion tax cuts, and his wimpiness on a hundred other issues.
Don't know what that means. I'm afraid a tanking stock market - which means disappearing 401-ks and IRAs - is gonna T-off a lot of voters against the GOP, or disspirit a lot of Republican voters, so they won't even turn up at the polls.
"Even if GOP voters remain loyal to the president, all of the bad news could depress Republican turnout. And that could be enough to turn a neutral political election into a good Democratic year"
He speculates:
substantially increased the likelihood
is much more likely
voters are likely
Democrats are likely
The risk for the Republicans is
If they do, they might decide
Even if GOP voters
could depress Republican turnout...
could be enough
could well be on the defensive
could give the president
would, of course, relieve
If Bush's job approval
it could increase
would increase the odds
could be muted
couldn't be good news
And concludes:
The bottom line is clear.
Do you really think this paragraph is Demo spin? Do you really believe that O'Neill is a substantial figure in any sense, or that any other Bush economic advisor commands attention or a calming influence on the nation? If so, you must be smoking greenbacks.
Midterm usually have dismal turnouts and not much changes. It's only when voters are motivated (1994 Congressional elections) that this swing occurs.
I think this is more of Mr. Rothenbergs wet dream than reality.
That's the stupidest thing I've read in a long time.
That's the stupidest thing I've read in a long time.
It will be spun by the democrats and the media as a further giveaway for "his rich buddies in business."
I'd still like him to do it, because its the right thing to do, but I'm not going to delude myself that it's a political can't-miss.
The safer political strategy is do nothing. And no matter what his efforts, "nothing" is the reality regarding the amount of tax cuts we'll see passed before November.
I think the GOP/Bush have a good case in saying they started the road to sanity by not allowing the graft and weasel tricks instituted under Sleazy Bill to continue, even if this brought down the market.
Hats off to Bush and his gang for having the guts and being willing to take the blame
Show charts of the stock market pre-election 1994 and post-election 1994.
The big boom in the economy and stock market for which Bill Clinton took credit only occurred AFTER the Republicans took control of Congress.
For his first two years, Clinton was floundering and the economy was like a ship without a rudder.
If Republicans would make this clearly transparent argument, they could make big gains in November.
Will they?
No, because they are too lazy and too stupid and too gentle.
President Bush should make it an issue, because if he doesn't rally the base, his goose will be cooked in 2004.
In a random poll, could more than 10% even tell you who Robert Rubin is?
Visit his site on where he stands:
How can a guy like this lose?
Sure beats the heck out of John Keegan who is also running for this house seat! He's just been accused of plagiarising with regard to where he stands on the issues! I wonder how Mrs. Graham-Keegan (former Supt. of Public Instruction-AZ) feels knowing what her husband has done?
The Republicans would do just fine if they got the following message out:
Show charts of the stock market pre-election 1994 and post-election 1994.
The big boom in the economy and stock market for which Bill Clinton took credit only occurred AFTER the Republicans took control of Congress.
While I understand the sentiment, I dont think that message is going to convince fence-sitters to go Republican, considering the current state of the stock-market.
If youre going to give the GOP credit for the boon, they have to get credit for the bust, as well.
I'd disagree with both of these sets of odds, although of course it's still speculation this far out. I think the GOP's greatest risk is at the governor level. They have 23 incumbent seats to defend, and a ton of incumbent governors of both parties are not doing well in the polls. Voters are apparently blaming them, not the President, Senate and Congress, for their problems right now. Will this hurt the House or Senate races? Sure, it could. Or close governor races may improve turnout in various races, helping either party.
Having said all that, I think in Nov the GOP will still end up with governors of the nation's four largest states, even if it may no longer have a majority.
OK, you can out yourself now. What are you odds?
Disclaimer: We still have a long way to go. This prediction expires August 15th.
But I'd say the GOP's chance at taking back the Senate is 50/50, and for holding onto the House it's about 75/25. I've been impressed with the Dem Senator fundraising, but unimpressed with their performance in the polls. They've simply got more incumbents on life support (to borrow a phrase from Sen. Frist, I think) than the GOP does. I think the GOP benefits from three things: redistricting bought them a couple of seats, redistricting also protected all but a handful (relatively speaking) of seats, and the GOP does and will have more money to spend. (I could see the GOP losing House seats, but not losing control of the House.)
There. Aren't you impressed with my highly scientific predictions?
Since the GOP has only a 7 seat pad, your precision is impressive.
Sorry to have offended you.
The perception is that Dubya couldn't, and can't, move forward on tort reform (originally planned to be included in the first State of the Union speech) because of Cheney's connection with Halliburton.
Cheney engineered the purchase of a company while he was at Halliburton that ended up having huge liabilities wrt asbestos lawsuits. (This was as a result, if I understand correctly, of an intervening legal descision that basically allowed asbestos litigators to go after any company with even the most tenuous, indirect or historical connections to asbestos production or installation.) THIS is one of the main factors (probably something like 50 percent responsible) that caused Halliburton stock to crash in 2000/2001.
The perception is that if Bush pushes tort reform he will be seen as defending big business and CEOs like his own V.P. Cheney. But, if Bush does push tort reform, and the Dims squeal about Bush comming to the rescue of big business, this will provide an opportunity to do what the media by and large refused to do (with a few exceptions such as the Wall Street Journal): to clue the public in to the huge role out-of-control tort actions have had in destroying hundreds of businesses, thousands of jobs, AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF STOCK VALUE.
Trial lawyers donate overwhelmingly to Dims. Along with the NEA, other federal unions, and big labor, they are THE major constinuency of the Dims. This is a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to tie the Dims to loses in corporate value, and thereby in the value of Americans' IRAs!!!
At the precinct meeting yesterday turnout was light. So light that if I wished I could be a Republican bigwig today. I'd say there is a lack of enthusiasm. Maybe it's the same with other parties excepting the Greens, because Greens are a fun party even if they don't remember their precinct meeting any better than they remember the 60s.
This is a level-headed translation of his analysis - - and it's a plausible analysis.
Not a good sign.
Most have suffered more than 33% drop in their portfolio, only a fool would hold on to a sinking ship. If you lose 50% you must gain 100% just to get even this probably won't occur in your grandchildrens life.
The truth is that many people made a lot of money during the Clinton years. Today many of those same people are out of work and holding retirement portfolios that are worth half of what they were worth when Bush was sworn in. Only a blind fool would believe this wont affect how people vote.
Only if he does it a week before the elections, do you think people really give a rats ass what happens in those hell holes, people only care about the issues that effect them directly, the rest is fluff.

LOS ANGELES -- Timed one day ahead of the April 11th official release date for the new film Draft Day, starring Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner, and Frank Langella, a spirited demonstration took place in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, to protest the treatment of American studio musicians.
What's the issue? These days, just about the first question any film producer asks is, "Where can I get the best tax credits?" Los Angeles, home of the Hollywood film industry, has suffered the loss of production for many years, as movies get lured by tax incentives and lower labor costs to film in Canada, Europe, and other faraway locations.
Lionsgate Entertainment, creators of Draft Day, for example, received $4.9 million in tax credits from Ohio taxpayers to film in that state. Actors and stage workers were apparently treated well and fairly. But post-production, when the film is scored, i.e., the soundtrack is recorded, Lionsgate did not hire American Federation of Musicians (AFM) professionals. Not in Ohio, not even in the United States. Instead, they hired an orchestra in Macedonia!
As Glen Arnodo, chief of staff for the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, said, "Some people think music drops from heaven. But it doesn't. It takes talented union musicians to make music. When you take taxpayer money from Americans you sign up to be a member of the team."
Founded as an independent studio in 1997, Lionsgate had revenues of $2.7 billion in 2013, the fifth highest grossing studio at the box office. It is responsible for the "Twilight" and "Hunger Games" series, the new film "Divergent," and "Mad Men" on TV.
Ray Hair, international president of the AFM, pointed out that since 2011 Lionsgate has sent 20 of its films abroad for scoring, and kept only four in the U.S. "This seems to be a habit with them," Hair said.
Speakers from the AFM were joined by others from a broad range of labor, community, political, and faith groups. Los Angeles City Councilmember Paul Koretz lamented runaway production from a local economy largely based on film and television. "It's not just about the big producers and the stars," he said, "it's for all workers down the line." Koretz supports tax credits to keep jobs local, "But we're paying to lose jobs. Lionsgate, you can't keep doing this! Keep film music here in the U.S.!"
The AFM has launched a Listen Up! campaign to inform the public of the problem. "Recording a domestic film's music score overseas," says the union, "robs U.S. musicians and our communities of good jobs, deprives local economies of money that would otherwise have gone to public services and social programs, and undermines domestic musical culture and history."
One demonstrator, Pam Goldsmith, a viola player, has been a member of AFM Local 47 since 1958. In those days, all the big studios retained their own orchestras under union contract. "I have watched the work disintegrate," she told me. "Nowadays work is just drying up. It's all freelance now. Corporate greed is damaging the American way of life. People can't make a living because the companies are going to Macedonia. It's a sin and a crime."
It's not just the musicians and their families who feel the heat. Those wages paid to American musicians would have kicked in funds to Social Security and Medicare. The nation as a whole suffers from the global race to the bottom.
Musicians, and the labor movement with them, are telling Lionsgate that it is unacceptable to exploit U.S. taxpayer dollars and then fail to offer the same standards to musicians as to the cast and crew working in the film industry. The battle is engaged, and the musicians are not prepared to give up until their work is valued at industry standards guaranteed by to agreements between the AFM and the motion picture producers.
The AFM got its start in the early years of the 20th century, when organists and small theater orchestras at silent movies were starting to be replaced by recorded sound. Now, says Ray Hair, with offshoring and outsourcing, "jobs have disappeared because the rich film companies have shoved us back into the silent era." Violinist Rafael Rishik summed it up: "In this campaign, silence is NOT golden."
The unions are NOT calling for a boycott of the film.

I originally was debating whether to use them for our future work, potentially building a deep, mutually beneficial business relationship. Now through this experience, I learned they were very difficult to work with and that's not the kind of partner we're looking for.
My advice to other business or landlords is that be cautious when you use them. They're fairly rigid in their ways and when there're problems they appear unwilling to cooperate whatsoever.

As a former employee, I can tell you schools like these need to be avoided at all costs.
Basically, even the most enlightened teachers
are pawns in a system where leadership is motivated soley by profit. Avoid these schools at all costs or prepare to be re-victimized and pay for it dearly. Once enrolled, you have locked yourself out of an education and will pay for it for years to come.
