Manchin deserves credit, not condemnation
April 24, 2013
Sen. Joe Manchin gained a reputation in West Virginia of working hard for compromise. Manchin, D-W.Va., tried that in Washington last week — and learned a lesson about politics. Manchin and Se....
Voted for him ONCE; NEVER AGAIN!

Oh truthseeker... one more way your slip is showing... You mentioned calling 911 down in the gun rant. Just to remind you, 911 is a taxpayer service - part of the SOCIAL contract we share as citizens. Police protection, fire protection, roads, public schools, all of it - is part of a broader agreed-upon socialist system. We are a democracy and therefore decide collectively what is and is not in the interests of us all. I get tired of you ranting about how people are takers when in fact we all share in the benefits of our collective efforts. Without it you would have robber barons running the show (fact is, we nearly DO). Just sayin'....

Now Truthseeker - you've done it again... Did I hear you refer to liberals as hateful, racist, liars, deceivers, who want something for nothing, think they're better than anyone else? Well, you're mistaken of course. We're willing to actually pay taxes for the common good and judging by your comments, the first thing we should do is demand better schools...

Now Truthseeker, you just stepped on my toe... You said Islam is not a religion of peace? And Judaism - is that a religion of peace? And Christianity - that certainly is NOT a religion of peace (Jesus Christ notwithstanding) - more people have been slaughtered in the name of Christ than all other religions. FACT. Truth is, all 3 Abrahamic faiths are strewn with both assertions and contradictions... But what I would caution all of us to remember is that it is easy to measure another's BEHAVIOR against our own religious IDEAL... It we want to be fair, we should admit that fundamentalism, not religion, is to blame for hatred. Fundamentalism isn't about what you believe - it's about HOW you believe... and there are fundies in every religion, every political system, anywhere there are people gathered. The NRA is filled with them. Survivalist militias are thick with them. It's like a barnacle, attaching to whatever cause gets it into port.

Well I have to admit, I laughed at TS referring to Elkins as "liberal..." And I have been reading TS and Puremagix's rants for months on this rag, and it's both laughable and pathetically uninformed. As for PM's comment about "common sense" - let me remind you what Thoreau once wrote: "Why level downward to our dullest perception always, and praise that as common sense? The commonest sense is the sense of men asleep, which they express by snoring."

Don't believe liberal nonthinking Elkins, Pure. He is a liberal. They have no sympathy for anyone. That's obvious by the nature of them; hateful, racist, liars, deceivers, socialists, want something for nothing, think they're better than anyone else, etc.... the world LAUGHS at liberals.

Elkins..your an idiot..Joe Manchin has sold out the average WV citizen to support Barry Obama and his communist agenda. If Barry was so worried about children..then why is he pushing the abortion issue? To claim those 2 are not the same issue is pure hyprocrisy. To ask every law abiding American citizen to give up our Constitutional rights for the acts of a few is shameful. I will finish this comment by quoting Benjamin Franklin: "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both"

Elkins, can you really be that stupid that you associate everything with race? You lack the common sense to realize that not everything is race related. You don't invite the enemy into your camp. Like it or not, Islam is NOT a religion of peace, and the people who practice it are anything but peaceful. How many examples of their idea of peace do you need before you are convinced they hate your guts and will do anything to kill you?
As for your warped idea about racism, you need to learn that stating facts are not bigoted comments, like the 70% illegitimacy rate among black children, and how the real racial attacks on other Americans comes mainly from within the black community. Look at Obama's bigoted comments, or Jesse Jackson's or Maxine Waters or several others in this country. You need to wake up. I could care less about Obama's skin color, but I do care about his Islamic background and the friends he keeps, like the Muslim Brotherhood.

I for one voted for Manchin, but since he wants to go along with Obummer there is no way I will ever support him in any way. They base everything on the Newtown shooting, and no doubt it was tragic. I wonder how many other kids in this country died that same day from guns, drug , knives and all other means of death. I bet if the truth was known the count was higher. These anti gun idiots grasp on to every shooting in the country and try to use it to take our guns away. Look at Chicago, highest murder rate in the country and have the strictest gun laws.

it is simple awful how all of the people in this state care more about a gun than a 6 yr old childs life something has to be done about all of the killing going on in this coubrty. My God are we so paranoid of the goverment please. Fox news Glenn Beck, Limbaugh and the gun makers have made millions off of panic. I would pay anyone in this counrty $1000 for every gun that has been taken from any law abiding citizens. It has never happened and never will. We have laws in a civilized society for everything guns are not unlimited. What Manchin did was not unreasonable. The problem is the idiots in this state are so backwards it's unbelievable. Thats why the counrty makes fun of us. it's sad.

Manchin and Toomey thought that the inside the beltway liberal communist government would pass gun control and thought they might lessen the damage to the 2nd amendment with compromise on the US Constitution. They forgot we are all in trouble because the politicians and judges have forgotten the US Constitution. They are no help to the citizens by compromising our rights.

To: "WhatMeWorry" Obviously your moniker fits you perfectly. After what one could see on any TV news network foloowing the Boston incident, swat, beat cops, state police and yes, even the military going door to door searching people's homes and heaven help any resident that refused or said get a search warrant and come back-- and you are "not worried?" The other scary part of the Boston incident was that Mass. and the Boston Metro area have some the strictest gun control laws in America and purchasing, owning & possessing a firearm is virtually impossible--and "you are not worried?" What if the armed fugitive had decided to enter the unarmed guy's home, instead of hiding in his boat---still not worried? If you are still not worried then, just keep drinking Big Brothers/Manchin's Kool Aid!

What's that old saying –there are two things in life that are certain – death and taxes? Well, they may say there are two, but certainly a third should be added to the list. Because no matter how hard we try, and no matter how many dollars we may be willing to pay to avoid it –it's inevitable that we will all age. After all, more than 36 million living Americans have been doing it for more than 65 years, and with the aging of the baby boomer, twice as many people will reach senior status within the next 25 years. The good news is the aging process doesn't have to be as gloomy as paying taxes. In fact, there are many advantages to aging, and Trident Senior Health Center's geriatric physician, Dr. Mark Meiler, who also sees patients at Trident Medical and Summerville Medical Centers, makes it his priority to provide his patients every opportunity to make the most of their senior years. "As a geriatrician, my job is not only to prolong life, but to prolong a quality life, where independence is enjoyed as long as possible. There are medical advances, as well as personal choices, that can be made to delay and compact all serious illnesses into the final stage of life." According to Dr. Meiler, a physician since 1972 who began practicing geriatrics in the late 80's, "there are five "I's" that indicate the most bothersome effects of aging: Immobility; Incompetence; Incontinence; Inability to maintain homeostasis – or adapt; and loss of Independence. Dr. Meiler's goal is to promote and facilitate the four "A's" that hold the keys to healthy aging. They include being: active; adaptable; accountable for one's own health and an active consumer. "With the fastest growing age group of Americans being 85 and older, it is important that people get involved in their own health and begin seeing a physician early, for preventative measures," explains Dr. Meiler. "Activity – both physical and mental—is also imperative. Immobility arises from the lack of using muscles – whether they are in the legs or the brain. The old saying 'what you don't use, you lose,' is absolutely true, which is why I encourage seniors to take regular walks and get involved in swimming and fitness programs, like those offered through Trident Health Stystem's H2U program." Reading the paper daily, doing crossword puzzles and playing bridge with friends are all activities Dr. Meiler recommends for keeping the brain sharp, and as a special note to the younger generations, Dr. Meiler points out that studies indicate those with a higher level of education, experience less problems with dementia later in life – a good reason to make education a priority. Dr. Meiler also advises that social activities are very important for extended wellbeing. "Social interaction fosters good health." He points out that when people eat by themselves, they don't eat as much or as nutritiously and those who do not experience regular sensory stimulation, are more likely to become isolated -- a factor associated with declining health. "In an effort to promote healthy aging, Trident Health System's H2U program offers both good nutritional information and a great social atmosphere with their regularly held social activities specifically geared for people 50 and older." With four diseases topping the list of healthcare concerns for aging adults, Dr. Meiler offers some preventative tips. "With cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of death and the most expensive diagnosis of all illnesses in the United States – eating up approximately one third of all Medicare funds – I urge patients to have regular blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes screenings." Cancer is the second leading threat. "For women, lung, breast and colon cancer are the top three, and although more women are diagnosed with breast cancer, more will die from lung cancer. For men, lung, colon and prostrate cancer top the list, which is why I discourage smoking and encourage regular breast, colon and prostate cancer screenings." Infectious disease is another concern for the elderly. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 36,000 people 65 or older die each year of influenza and invasive pnemoccocal disease. "An annual flu shot and at least one pneumonia vaccination are very important after age 65," explains Dr. Meiler. The fourth concern for the elderly is dementia. "Many would be shocked to know that 50 percent of people 85 and older have some stage of Alzheimer's disease," states Dr. Meiler. "And 20 percent of those 75 and older are affected by it." The good news is, although aging may be inevitable, with modern medicine and continuous preventative measures, poor health no longer needs to be an inevitable associated with aging. In fact, approximately 60,000 United States citizens are loving life at more than 100 years of age–sharing their wealth of experiences and knowledge with those who are younger and, as some may say, less enviable. For more information or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Meiler, call Trident Senior Health Center at (843) 797-0416.

Medicare Drug Benefit Update: 2010 Plan Year Enrollment Begins
November 19, 2009
This week marks the start of the open enrollment period for the Medicare Part D drug benefit for 2010. The "open season" period for 2010 drug plan enrollment runs through December 31. Medicare beneficiaries will be able to select prescription drug coverage that goes into effect on January 1, 2010.
As the 2010 plan year approaches, NAMI is watching closely to ensure that beneficiaries with serious mental illness, especially low-income dual eligibles, are able to maintain continued access to drug coverage that meets their complex treatment needs. Of particular concern are the more than 1.16 million dual eligibles and low-income subsidy (LIS) Medicare beneficiaries that are being required to switch to different prescription drug plans (PDPs) on January 1.
For more information on the important issue of Medicare drug plan reassignment of dual eligibles and LIS beneficiaries for 2010, click here.
Wed-Based Search Tools for 2010 Drug Plan Options
There are a number of important web-based tools to search available plan options, research weather or not a specific medication is on a plan's formulary for 2010 – or is subject to an access restriction (placed on a tier requiring higher cost sharing, prior authorization, step therapy, quantity limit, etc.). Most can be searched by zip code to check on availability by geographic region. Here are a few links to these websites:

Early versions of InnoDB used an unnamed file format (now called
Antelope) for database files.
With that file format, tables are defined with
ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT or
ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT. InnoDB stores up to the
first 768 bytes of variable-length columns (such as
BLOB and
VARCHAR) in the
index record within the B-tree
node, with the remainder stored on the overflow pages.
To preserve compatibility with those prior versions, tables
created with the newest InnoDB default to the
COMPACT row format. See
Section 14.14.3, "DYNAMIC and COMPRESSED Row Formats" for information about
the newer
DYNAMIC and
COMPRESSED row formats.
With the Antelope file format, if the value of a column is 768
bytes or less, no overflow page is needed, and some savings in I/O
may result, since the value is in the B-tree node. This works well
for relatively short
BLOBs, but may cause
B-tree nodes to fill with data rather than key values, reducing
their efficiency. Tables with many
BLOB columns
could cause B-tree nodes to become too full of data, and contain
too few rows, making the entire index less efficient than if the
rows were shorter or if the column values were stored off-page.
For information about the physical row structure of tables that
use the
REDUNDANT or
row format, see Section 14.11.3, "Physical Row Structure of InnoDB Tables".

quote: LightSquared has proposed that it operate at a reduced power than the levels used during the testing. With low power usage, LightSquared believes its services would only affect 10 percent of devices.
quote: LightSquared has come out with its most concrete claims so far that its LTE network will not interfere with GPS services across the US. The start-up says an Alcatel-Lucent laboratory has carried out extensive tests on devices from three GPS vendors, whose preliminary results demonstrate that those devices are not disrupted by the LTE signals in nearby mobile satellite spectrum.
quote: LightSquared has proposed various remedies to the GPS issue, including restricting its services to the area of its spectrum which is furthest from the navigation service bands.
quote: These tests are meaningless unless they were conducted with GPS receivers that meet their (well known but ignored) filtering requirements.
quote: What you're missing is that if the GPS folks had played by the rules and used proper filtering in the first place, this wouldn't be an issue. But when GPS began there was no LightSquared, so they cheaped out on the filters since there was nothing there to filter.
quote: The units which fared well in the test are probably bigger units with better antennas and more power for electronic filtering and signal processing. If LightSquared's project goes live, you can probably kiss the GPS in your phone goodbye.
quote: Imagine coming up to an intersection, waiting to have your gps tell you which turn to take, and all of a sudden it loses the GPS signal. You have no idea which way to turn.
quote: I wouldn't trust anything they said. They just want to make money and don't care who they interfere with in the process.
quote: I can apply that to the GPS people who are effectively squatting on LightSquared's spectrum. They just want to steal this spectrum (because stealing the spectrum is cheaper than replacing all those GPS units with ones that work properly) and don't care who they steal it from in the process.

Sen. Manchin should be recalled for actions
July 10, 2013
This letter is in response to the most recent actions by our senator, Joe Manchin III. If you have access to YouTube, there is the TV ad that he ran for election to the Senate....
JWood is wrong.
"But Calabrese says the new Manchin-Toomey language deals with his objections — and then some. He points out that the bill says at the top: "Congress supports and reaffirms the existing prohibition on a national firearms registry." And it also says: "Nothing in this title, or any amendment made by this title, shall be construed to…allow the establishment, directly or indirectly, of a Federal firearms registry."
"The existing Manchin Toomey language is even stronger than current law in making it clear that none of these records can become part of a national gun registry," Calabrese told me."
Calabrese is with ACLU and originally opposed Bill.

(part 3) Toomey-Manchin includes some explicit language to make clear what was already implicit in FOPA, that such travel can include situations in which, while traveling, you stop to eat, refuel, or rest. But part (2) of the new definition includes a new exclusion for any firearms crime punishable by more than year of imprisonment. In some states, such a crime includes merely not having a state-issued gun permit. So, in some instances, such as in Massachusetts, just driving through the state with your own gun and without a locally-issued permit is a crime punishable by two years in jail, so the 'exclusion' does not apply. And any state that wanted to force their gun control on everyone could just pass laws that would make the offense punishable by anything over a year and a day to qualify.
It was a bad, bad bill and deserves to have been shut down.

(continued) The vast majority of FFLs are small businesses, often single proprietorships. Only a tiny fraction of FFLs are enduring corporate entities (e.g., Bass Pro Shops) which will never surrender their FFL. By consolidating and centralizing the records of all out-of-business FFLs, BATFE will be able to build a list of most people in the U.S. who have bought a gun from a store. The list will not be fully up-to-date for every gun owned by every individual, but the list will identify the very large majority of gun owners in the country.
Now for transportation. The 1986 Firearms Owners' Protection Act immunizes from state law prosecution the transportation of an unloaded and inaccessible (e.g., in the trunk of your car) firearm through a state. So if you are driving from Pennsylvania to Vermont to go hunting there, you can travel through New York State without needing to acquire a NY pistol permit. (to be continued)

Bornandraised - if you read it, you either didn't read it critically, or you know nothing about legal language. There are at least two aspects of that bill that are extremely dangerous for legal gun owners. First, the bill specifies that the Attorney General and/or departments under his control cannot create and maintain a gun registry. This seems fine on it's face, but it opens the door for HHS, NEA, DoE, EPA, IRS, and any other agency of the federal government to implement one. For example, the HHS can consolidate the records of doctors, insurance companies and many other organizations that may have any records of gun owners. Under current law, retired FFLs must send their sales records to BATFE. During the Clinton administration, a program was begun to put these records into a consolidated gun registry. The program was controversial and (as far as we know) was eventually stopped. Manchin-Toomey provides it with legal legitimacy. (to be continued)

Such a heartfelt letter but wrong on it's major premise. You can only get rid of Joe at the ballot box. No recall or referendum here. Joe needs to resign immediately and sign up to run against Capito. After beating her senseless, Gov. Tomblim should appoint Gayle to fill his seat until the next election when we'd have a real family on the ballot. Then, it's just a short two years until Joe is chosen for Vice President by Hillary.

Can anyone, the letter writer included, tell me exactly how the Manchin-Toomey bill actually infringes on any individual's 2nd Amendment rights? I read the whole thing, every letter, and I don't see one way it prevents a law abiding citizen from buying a firearm. As far as coal goes, well, she does have a point. I actually do think that coal plants need to be run cleaner, but Joe did pretty much flip flop on this one a bit. Is that cause for a recall election? I suppose it's in the eye of the beholder; my vote is no, but if the citizenry says yes, I wouldn't argue anything other than the added cost of a recall election.

Our View: Millcreek voters want change
John Groh wasn't prepared for his big win as Millcreek Township supervisor. He thought a recount might be needed before the results were clear in his race against three-term Republican incumbent Joseph Kujawa, who had served for 18 years.
This wasn't a squeaker election. Instead, Millcreek Township voters delivered a resounding win for Groh. He was a member of Concerned Citizens of Millcreek, a group that supported a change in township government from a three-person, full-time Board of Supervisors to a council-manager form of government. In his campaign, Groh didn't advocate a change-in-government platform but rather ways to improve current operations.
Kujawa, his opponent, disputed Groh's claim that Millcreek Township is on the road to budget troubles. But it's easy to understand why finances are top of mind in Millcreek. Millcreek residents are still reeling from the shocking revelations that the Millcreek Township School District had to close two schools and make other cuts to trim an $8.8 million deficit. A recent audit found that the school district ended the 2012-13 year more than $570,000 in the red.
Groh is keenly aware that Millcreek Township can no longer rely on continuous new growth to provide additional revenue for its budget. As a zoning administrator (currently for Edinboro Borough and previously for the city of Erie and Millcreek), he also understands that development doesn't occur in a vacuum. He is correct to prod the township to take a look at zoning issues that could affect Presque Isle State Park. The park is a regional jewel, but it's located in Millcreek Township.
But along with concrete issues that await Groh and his fellow supervisors, Brian McGrath and Richard Figaski, Groh also will have to deal with the fact that Millcreek's political fights have become nasty. "Nobody goes into any job knowing everything about it," Groh said. "I'm going to keep my mouth shut for a while -- get the feel for it." That sounds like a wise decision.

Police are seeking information regarding the beating death of a family dog over the weekend.
Leetonia police responded to a home at 408 Columbia Street at approximately 5:30 p.m. Friday where the homeowner reported someone had killed his dog that had been chained to its doghouse in the backyard near an alley.
According to Police Chief John Soldano, the dog, a beagle mix approximately 8 years old, had apparently been bludgeoned on the head with a large rock that was recovered nearby with traces of blood still on it. Officer Brian Deack and Assistant Fire Chief Dave Leffel responded to the complaint and examined the dog, found to be dead. There was reportedly blood from the nose and mouth, and it appeared to have bitten its tongue as there was vomit and blood nearby, Soldano said. The dog was taken by the family to a private veterinarian for further examination, the results of which are still pending.
Soldano said the Humane Society of Columbiana County has been contacted and that the two agencies are working together to try to find the perpetrator. "We're looking at all ends of it and currently processing the information," he said.
Considering the calf that was found burned earlier this month in Lisbon, the dog's death is of notable concern, Soldano added. "It's very, very disturbing...there's just no cause for it," he said. "We certainly are hoping to find out who did this...(and) get them prosecuted."
Anyone with any information regarding the incident should contact the Leetonia Police Department at 330-427-6731.

Engaging Beef-Lovers Online
Engaging Beef-Lovers Online
Checkoff's Beef. It's What's For Dinner Facebook page surpasses 136,000 fans
No gimmicks, no coupons, no fancy promotions just a genuine love of beef. That's why more than 136,000 Facebook users have become "fans" of the checkoff's Beef. It's What's For Dinner Facebook page. The page officially reached the 100,000 milestone marker this week and every day, thousands more "like" the page and come looking for recipes, fun, nutrition information and the chance to be a part of a larger community where their peers and friends are talking about the great food they feed their families.
An online ad campaign was first tested over Labor Day 2011, when content that was posted to the Beef. It's What's For Dinner "wall" was turned into an ad and pushed to an identified target audience. The result of that campaign? The number of Facebook fans almost doubled. Similar to that model, from now through the big game, the Beef. It's What's For Dinner Facebook page will be generating themed wall content and ads to encourage more people to interact with beef.
"Facebook now has more than 800 million active Facebook users and we know from the Beef. It's What's For Dinner website that recipes are the #1 highest-viewed item," says Joyce Bupp, dairy producer from Seven Valleys, Penn., and chair of the checkoff's Public Relations Subcommittee. "It's about food and we need to be where the consumers are. Social media has revolutionized how consumers interact with brands and companies they love and through campaigns such as the big game Facebook ads, we are doing our part to engage with consumers who love our product."
Recognizing that consumer communications mediums continue to evolve, the checkoff has responded through online engagement to extend the messaging from the traditional radio, print, public relations and newsletters. And as compared to other proteins, the Beef. It's What's For Dinner Facebook page has more than double and sometimes triple the fans.
"We also can't forget about engagement. These people aren't just 'liking' beef, they're taking our recipes, cooking them at home, posting pictures to our Facebook wall and telling their friends about the fantastic beef-eating experience they just had," says Bupp. "Social media truly is about building relationships and listening to today's consumer."

JOHNSTOWN - Bishop Guilfoyle's 0-2 start to the 2013 high school football season seems like a distant memory now.
In fact, it is ancient history.
The Marauders look like a well-oiled machine very capable of winning a District 6 Class A championship these days. On Saturday afternoon, Guilfoyle took the opportunity to fine tune some things and then play a lot of its reserves in its sixth straight win, with Sam McCloskey hauling in two of Brandon Chadbourn's three touchdown passes as BG rolled over host Westmont Hilltop by a 49-7 count at Price Field.
"We set goals at the beginning of the year to win the district. When we were 0-2, it didn't stop there," said McCloskey, a junior who caught three passes for 103 yards and ran the ball three times for 40 yards. "We had to tweak some things, and we became closer as a group. We've been doing great ever since."
After fumbling the ball away to end a promising opening drive, the Marauders scored on their next seven possessions to take a 49-0 lead at the half. Guilfoyle struck fast, only needing 21 plays to do the damage and gobbling up 408 yards. Fourteen Marauder snaps wound up covering 11 yards or more.
It was the Marauders' most lopsided game of the year and biggest margin of victory since they opened last year with a 42-0 shellacking of Bedford. D.J. Kitt capped the half with his second touchdown run, going 61 yards with 3 seconds left.
Chadbourn, though, did the most damage. The junior quarterback ran the ball six times for 119 yards, including a 50-yard scoring run, and completed five of seven passes for 169 yards and three touchdowns, finding McCloskey for 39 and 52 yards in the first quarter and then connecting with Nick Miller on a 40-yard bomb in the second. He didn't play offense in the second half.
Chadbourn had run for 150 yards in a 30-6 win against 5-3 Central Cambria the week before.
"We've been practicing hard, and we look pretty good. Hitting on all cylinders," said Chadbourn, whose younger brother, Evan, tacked on a 4-yard scoring run. "We're really been running the ball a lot, so we decided to open it up a little bit and see what we can do. It worked out pretty well."
BG only had passed for 487 yards in the first seven games.
"We think our passing game really is one of our strengths. We just haven't had an opportunity to get into it much," Marauder coach Justin Wheeler said. "We wanted to work on throwing the ball. We know we can't be a one-dimensional team come playoff time."
Westmont fell to 0-8 despite 140 yards on the ground from Sam Curry. Curry's 1-yard run with 7:37 left deprived Guilfoyle of the shutout.
Hilltopper coach Pat Barron said Saturday's result was more an indication of how well BG is playing right now than anything else.
"They're an outstanding football team. They're big. They're physical. They're fast," Hilltopper coach Pat Barron said. "Up front on both sides of the ball they dominated today, and that was the difference."
One of the district favorites in its class, Guilfoyle began the year with losses to Bedford and Richland, who've turned out to be two of the better Class AA teams in the region. That seemed to click a switch with the Marauders, though; they've improved steadily since and might be able to lock up home-field advantage through the 6-A playoffs by beating Bishop McCort and United at Mansion Park the next two Fridays.
"The first two games humbled us, and we just came back with a new attitude that every game is going to be our last game and play it like it's our last game," BG senior center-defensive tackle and captain John Taddei said. "Last year, we made it to the semifinals, and we couldn't quite finish. This year, we're trying to beat that goal and move ahead."

During his debate with Mitt Romney, President Barack Obama was staggered by the sheer energy of his opponent. Instead of reacting, he engaged in a form of political rope-a-dope, taking blows without giving a proper response. No doubt Romney was on his game, and he came across as energized while Obama seemed listless at best and diffident at worse.
Yet there may be a method to his madness. He made no memorable gaffes that show up on every news cycle, and he allowed Romney to change prior position with abandon.
Suddenly, Daddy Warbucks became Big Bird even if he did not appreciate the original. Suddenly, objectivism Ayn Rand and Paul Ryan style became compassionate conservatism. He took so many positions that the fact checkers were kept quite busy.
The next day he rediscovered after 17 days preaching that line that the 47 percent were not the selfish moochers described at the Florida fundraiser. He loved all mankind, even those no-accounts he so pummelled behind closed doors.
In the debate, he went all in trying to recalibrate the nice Mitt image first displayed in Tampa.
But there is danger in the make-overs. The voters have a month to decide - this is not like Ronald Reagan's "there you go again" moment on Oct. 28 with the election on Nov. 2, 1980. But make no mistake, not since George H. W. Bush checked his watch has an incumbent at least at the moment been regarded as so out of touch. But Romney also got away with changing his positions, and Obama for reasons only clear to him let him do it.
The bounce was modest and the unemployment figures coming in below 8 percent boosted Obama. One bad night can ruin a challenger but rarely an incumbent.
Jimmy Carter stupidly gambled on a one-shot presentation with Reagan and got skunked. Romney stepped on his message afterward with overstatement, which has continued. Instead, he behaved like a baseball player who came out of a long slump with a three-for-four night and then expected to be the most valuable player.
Nevertheless, the criticism of Obama was justified. Think of the situation if he had bested Romney in the debate and matched it with the good news on the unemployment front. Romney would be written off, and Obama would not be subject to criticism.
The Massachusetts governor thus lived to fight another day, and with two more debates scheduled, it is clear he will not neglect to prepare.
Debates matter, and Obama's attitude simply was not acceptable. If Romney is elected, there would be two presidents on that stage. For all his awkwardness, Romney is a driven man, and when given a chance, as he proved in the primaries, he will take full advantage.
With the stakes being high, Obama should keep the smirks to himself. George W. Bush, with two poor performances, nearly let John Kerry pass him in 2004. His narrow re-election was no mandate, and Bush had trouble regaining his political footing afterward. A hurricane blew away the good will accumulated on Sept. 11, 2001, by Bush.
Elections have consequences and Obama needs to understand that he has a political obligation.
Yet events do more than debates, and the economy may ultimately decide that the contest and the timing for the debate was perfect if it had to go bad for Obama. There is plenty of time to correct, assuming that the president is more aggressive.
More than challengers, incumbents tend to be allowed Mulligans and do-overs, but if he misses his opportunity, all bets are off. Obama needs to keep his eye on the ball.

Missouri State Teachers Association filed a lawsuit against the state, state governor and
attorney general last month to battle a new law that would forbid teachers from
having "exclusive access" with students on Internet sites.
The law, which was to take effect on August 28 and was called the Amy Hestir
Student Protection Act (after a Missouri student who was molested decades ago),
aimed to prevent inappropriate behavior between teachers and students by restricting
out-of-school contact. Teachers would not be allowed to interact with students
on the internet "exclusively," meaning through private messages. The
contact would have to be publicly seen by parents and administrators.
But teachers fought back, saying that students needed that out-of-school
contact for help with homework or confidentiality about subjects like bullying.
Now, the Missouri State Teachers Association has won the battle. The law has
been repealed through the Missouri Stat Senate, according to ZDNet.
Senator Jane Cunningham (R-Chesterfield), who sponsored the Amy Hestir Student
Protection Act, filed Senate Bill 1 this month, and the Senate now passed SB1
33-0. It will now be taken to the House, be assigned to a committee, and if
approved, will become eligible to be debated on the House floor.
SB1 requires each Missouri school district to have a written policy regarding
employee-student communication by March 1, 2012.
The Missouri State Teachers Association also asked the Circuit Court of Cole
County to review the constitutionality of the law's social media section last
month. Teachers worried that this new law was broad enough to ban them from
having a Facebook, or from "friending" their own children who are
Missouri students. They argued that this infringed on First Amendment rights.
Cole County Circuit Judge Jon Beetem granted the group a preliminary injunction
that lasts for 180 days and will expire February 20, 2012.
The Missouri State Teachers Association has not dropped its lawsuit despite
this win.
quote: Kids have zero business communicating with a teacher via phonecall or private, uncopied email until they are 18 years old.
quote: If a teacher wants to communicate via phone or email, they can do it with the kids parents.
quote: If the kid meets with the teacher in the classroom, then liability falls completely on that of the school if something were to happen and likewise, we can only hope there will be a better chance of the activity being monitored by the teacher's peers--far moreso than through a private message on Facebook.
quote: Hahahaha you're pretty silly if you think your kids don't have multiple email addresses/accounts. If they want to hide, they can and I'm sure they already do.
quote: You know that kids can get Facebook, email, and even phone accounts without the parents' permission. Not to mention IM, passing paper notes, the US mail and smoke signals.
quote: forbidding teachers from doing these sorts of things is just common sense.
quote: I'd much prefer it be a school policy than have to be a law. I'd also prefer people to use common sense more than anything, but apparently they don't. Leave it up to the PTA to decide this with the individual school or district rather than getting the state involved would be preferable in all cases.

quote: I was the one pointing that out.

quote: As the parent of children in MO, I am very happy to hear this. My wife and I keep our eyes on our kids and I suggest others do the same.
quote: The law is pointless. Give it up. If they are communicating in private, then a parent always has the option to get the password of the known Facebook/email/cell account and see what they are talking about should they be suspicious.
quote: But should we meet in the same PTA meeting...there will be blood ;-)
quote: It sure looks to me that you, while wanting to be a caring parent (as all should be) you give your kids too much credit for being forthcoming on everything they know/do etc. The smart ones will figure out a way to hide things.

The genome (inside the cell) contains all of an organism's genetic instructions.

A genome is the full set of instructions needed to make every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. Almost every one of your cells contains a complete copy of these instructions, written in the four-letter language of DNA (A, C, T, and G). The human genome contains 3 billion of these "letters" or bases. This means that if your genome were written out on sheets of paper and stacked as books, the tower of tomes would be almost as high as the Washington Monument!
If you think of the human genome as an encyclopedia, the information it contains is divided into 23 volumes, called chromosomes. Each chromosome contains genes - "sentences" of genetic instructions that tell the cell how to make proteins. We know the human genome contains about 20,500 of these genes, but the meaning of much of the remaining text within it is a mystery.
Surprisingly, the human genome is not static. Throughout life, exposure to certain substances - such as X-rays, sunlight, chemicals, and more - can begin to subtly change the genome in some cells. If a cell acquires a set of genomic changes that allows it to grow out of control, invade surrounding tissue, and spread to other sites in the body, cancer develops. A cancer patient is thought to harbor two distinct human genomes - the version contained in normal cells, and an altered one contained in tumor cells.
But ours is not the only genome on the block. All organisms have genomes - not just humans and animals, but also bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms that cause diseases. Studying microbial genomes as well as the genomes of their hosts (including humans) can shed light on the nature of infectious diseases. Moreover, analyzing the genomes of our closer relatives - primates, mammals, and vertebrates - and comparing them to our own genome can help researchers determine what parts of the human genome have remained unchanged over time and are therefore likely to be essential.
In 1990, researchers set out to sequence (determine the order of As, Cs, Ts, and Gs in) the human genome. The effort, known as the Human Genome Project, was an international collaboration that concluded in 2003. However, sequencing the human genome was just a first step - now scientists face the challenge of using the tools and knowledge gained from the Human Genome Project to better understand human health and improve disease diagnosis and treatment.

The 5 Worst Legal Defenses Actually Attempted in Court
#2. Drug-Laced Loving
Pixland/Pixland/Getty Images
If you know a lot of liars, like really prolific liars, you'll notice that they have a predictable approach to their lies. Because when it comes to lying, there are a couple of really good ways to pull them off. One is to be an honest and trustworthy person, someone so honest and so trustworthy that when you finally do pull a story straight out of your ass, people never question it. The other approach, the one that prolific liars tend to rely on since no one trusts them, is to finger-bang credulity in front of its parents with a smile. For whatever reason, accomplished liars will push the envelope with a lie eventually, and they will do so based on the belief, misplaced or otherwise, that their story is so ridiculous that it must clearly be true. Because you can't make this stuff up, folks. Or the truth is stranger than fiction. Or if they were lying, they'd make up a more believable story.
So Jon Goldin was a helicopter pilot with the NYPD. During a random drug screening, Goldin tested positive for cocaine and as a result lost his job. Goldin tried to fight this in court, insisting that he was totally straight edge and had never done cocaine in his life. So how does a straight-edge cop test positive for some of the ol' Bolivian Marching Powder? Mixed-up test? Bad batch of cola? Accidentally touched Ke$ha? Close! His official defense was that he must have ingested it, totally by accident, while performing oral sex on his girlfriend.
I'm going to use this entire paragraph to once again state that this cop's defense to testing positive for drugs was to say that he must have gotten it from going down on his girlfriend, because her vagina is apparently the back of a toilet tank in a 1980s LA nightclub.
Unsurprisingly, Goldin's kickass defense didn't go over with a judge, who I like to think gave him a fist bump for the effort before letting him know he was still totally and completely fired from the force.
Dozens of cops testified that Goldin was a good guy who never even drank coffee, let alone any booze when he was out at bars, and certainly never would have used drugs. However, it does stand to reason that the man didn't need to be getting high on coffee or blitzed on Jagerbombs if his girlfriend's special flower was laced with cocaine all the time.
#1. Too Fat
Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images
You ever shoot a guy and then have to think of a clever reason to explain how you couldn't have shot that guy? In some circles this is called an alibi, but there is kind of a distinction here. An alibi isn't necessarily a reason why you couldn't have physically done it, it's evidence that it simply wasn't you who did it. You were literally somewhere else doing something else, people saw you and can vouch for you, that's your alibi. If you have no alibi, you can still come up with an excuse for why you couldn't have shot that guy. For instance, maybe you have no fingers. Hard to pull a trigger with no fingers. Maybe you're blind. You probably suck as a marksman if you're blind. And hey, maybe you're just super fatty bo-blatty. So super fatty bo-blatty that the very idea of you committing the crime that these slim, svelte police and lawyers are accusing you of is laughable. We call this (wait for it) the Fatty Bo-Blatty defense.
In Florida, because of course, Edward Ates was arrested and tried for the murder of his son-in-law. According to testimony, the son-in-law was shot from a staircase. Prosecution had evidence that Ates had his sister lie about the time he arrived at her house the day of the shooting, had bought a book on how to build a silencer, and had an Internet search history including pages on lock picking and how to commit the perfect murder. Ates countered this with the defense that, being 285 pounds, he clearly wouldn't have had the energy to both climb a staircase and shoot someone once he got up there.
It took a jury two days of deliberation to decide that they had enough faith in a fat man's ability to climb stairs without his heart exploding out of his chest like an alien embryo to have him convicted of the crime. As a final insult, Ates was required to pay for a second seat on a plane after his trial when he was flown back to Florida for sentencing.
That last part isn't true, but can't you imagine it being true? It so could have been true. Like if prisoners bought their own plane tickets. Whatever. He probably slimmed down in jail. Poor food there, I hear.

Sales Force Training Seminars
Contact: , 308-697-3486;
A comprehensive training program that covers every aspect of the U.S. red meat industry from animal genetics and production systems to safety programs, handling and refrigeration is being offered across Mexico and Central America this year by USMEF, contractor to the Beef Checkoff Program, with funding from the USDA Market Access Program.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

Somerset set for reshuffle
Want to know which players have gone where? Click here for all the comings and goings on the domestic scene
Somerset have been deprived of Richard Levi and Albie Morkel's services for the Friends Life t20 Midlands/Wales/West Group clash with Northamptonshire.
The South African duo, who starred in Somerset's opening victory over Warwickshire, have temporarily returned home for the unofficial Twenty20 tri-series in Zimbabwe, meaning director of cricket Brian Rose will make changes to his side's batting line-up.
In-form batsman Nick Compton, the first player to reach 1,000 first-class runs this term, is likely to open the batting with Peter Trego, who replaces England wicketkeeper-batsman Craig Kieswetter.
The game at Taunton sees the Irish O'Brien brothers go head-to-head, with big-hitting all-rounder Kevin, signed by Somerset for the first five Flt20 matches, lining up against wicketkeeper-batsman Niall.
Hamish Marshall will lead Gloucestershire for the first time since replacing Alex Gidman as T20 skipper at Worcester.
Alex's brother, Will, is rested so David Payne, Ian Saxelby and James Fuller will take on the seam-bowling responsibilities.
Worcestershire continue to be without Sohail Tanvir after the paceman was called up to Pakistan's one-day international squad for the series with Sri Lanka.
The Welsh Dragons take on Warwickshire in front of a sell-out crowd at the SWALEC Stadium.
Samit Patel returns to the Nottinghamshire side for the North Group encounter at Durham.
The all-rounder's absence from England's team to face West Indies in the first Natwest Series one-day international at the Ageas Bowl allows him to return to a 13-man squad, which also includes Graeme White and Luke Fletcher.
Durham have kept the same set of players that claimed two points at Headingley Carnegie last night, meaning Herschelle Gibbs and Johann Myburgh are in line to make their home debuts.
Yorkshire have added England batsman Jonny Bairstow to their squad as they entertain defending champions Leicestershire, who have lost their opening two matches.
Kent and Surrey, fresh from starting their campaign with two victories, face off at Beckenham.
The hosts could give batsman Sam Billings and all-rounder Fabian Cowdrey starts, while Lions team director Chris Adams has England seamer Jade Dernbach at his disposal and may give paceman Chris Tremlett the go-ahead to make his long-awaited return from a back injury.
Middlesex are without England duo Steven Finn and Eoin Morgan for the visit of Sussex to Lord's.
Seamer Robbie Williams is on the sidelines with a broken collarbone sustained in the warm-up match against West Indies earlier this week.
The Sharks, looking to play their first match of the competition following two washouts in their opening two fixtures, will give debuts to overseas duo Scott Styris and Juan Theron.

"I consider myself to be very healthy," says Muniz, who spoke to PEOPLE from his Phoenix home Tuesday afternoon. "I'm home and trying to relax and get ready to get back to work. My biggest problem is I always want to be working, going non-stop. So it's a wakeup call to take a little time and relax a bit."
Muniz, 27, says after a morning workout he hopped on his motorcycle to pick up a few things at the home of his fiancée Elycia Marie Turnbow's mother across town. As he was driving, the vision in his right eye began to blur.
"I thought I had something on the visor of my helmet. I couldn't focus out of my right eye," he says. "By the time I got to her mom's house I pretty much had no vision in my right eye."
By the time Muniz got home from the short drive, he felt even worse.
"I was really dizzy and in a lot of pain in my whole body and my head. My hands were numb. I didn't really have good balance and I was almost dropping the bike. I never had this before. I was like 'What's going on?' " he says, baffled at how quickly the symptoms came on and then intensified. "I felt like I was getting stabbed in the head – the worst headache you could ever think of. I couldn't see anything."
Less InvincibleTurnbow was home when he arrived and tried to assess his condition. "But I was saying things and she said, 'You're not speaking English,' " Muniz says. "It was really weird."
Muniz, who plays drums for the band Kingsfoil, went to a Phoenix area hospital, where he was treated and released. He's resting and still under a doctor's care, but plans to head out on an eight-date Northeast tour with the band this weekend.
Though Muniz admits he eats "like a 7 to 10-year-old-kid," he lives a healthy lifestyle.
"I never in my life had a sip of alcohol or even touched a drug," he says. "I take a lot of pride in that."
But the incident did leave him shaken. "They say it is usually a warning of maybe what could happen in the future," says Muniz. "It's changed my mentality when I'm going to eat now. I feel a lot less invincible."

Idaho dairies eager for growth and more options
Idaho dairies eager for growth and more options
Processing capacity shortage is holding back the country's No. 3 milk state
The Idaho dairy industry is busting to break loose.
Although it became the third largest milk-producing state in the U.S. last year, Idaho is undoubtedly capable of much more. But unlocking that potential requires one very key ingredient: More processing capacity is needed to spur more competition for milk that will result in higher pay prices.
A sense of optimism that this is already happening surrounded the 67th United Dairymen of Idaho annual meeting this week in Boise. With a core of progressive large-herd producers, abundant arable land, and a small state population, the state's dairy industry is well positioned to continue its expansion. However, a shortage of processing capacity has long kept Idaho milk prices among the lowest in the nation.
More capacity is on the way. Chobani Greek Yogurt has announced it will build a $100 million state-of-the-art yogurt plant in Twin Falls, Idaho, that is scheduled to open in 2012. Initial capacity is two million pounds per day and planned eventual capacity is six million. The competition for milk and new shipping options for producers it will bring may be just a start, said UDI President Mike Roth (seen here.)
"The landscape of our industry is changing, and a new paradigm exits," he told the membership. "Abundant milk production attracts abundant processing capacity. We want Chobani, and we want more processors. But we're not waiting for more processors to call us; we're calling them. Dairymen and processors in Idaho have reached a fork in the road, and I hope we can both take the same path."

Office of the Vice President and Chief Information Officer
Sacramento State created the Chief Information Officer (CIO) position in March, 2007, and formally created the new Information Resources & Technology division under the CIO in August, 2007. Cabinet status and the title of Vice President were added to the position in July, 2007. These steps were taken due to the fact that the California State University system sees information technology as a critical resource for higher education, woven throughout the fabric of both system and campus priorities. The CSU study, IT Strategic Planning in the CSU: A Study of Best Practices reflects this view in the statement:
"IT planning should be an integral part of the institutional planning process. IT can and should be a transformative element that supports campus strategic priorities and initiatives."
The role of the Vice President and CIO is to work with the President, Cabinet members, faculty, staff, and students to ensure that information technology is used as an institutional resource focused on support of key strategic initiatives for the campus. Of major importance is the strategic shift away from a primary focus on IT infrastructure, CMS implementation, and technology for its own sake to a focus on processes that support:
"... academic transformation, i.e. using technology to create efficiencies in instructional delivery, improve student outcomes, while freeing faculty from more mundane administrative tasks to concentrate on scholarship."
This shift towards support of the primary academic mission of the campus is reflected in the creation of the Academic Computing Resources unit (ACR) within IRT in August, 2007 – the largest unit in the division. This unit focuses on support of faculty and student use of technology, giving this group a clear focus on customer service and client support. ACRprovides classroom support of all types to both faculty and students, manages the comprehensive campus-wide Help Desk, operates the enterprise WebCT system, operates email systems for all students and many staff members, and is in the process of developing both a student web portal and enhanced computer hardware/software services. ACR works closely with both students and faculty to ensure alignment of all services with key teaching and learning needs.
The campus has spent several years implementing a transition from legacy financial, student, and human resources information systems to the new PeopleSoft CMS system used throughout the CSU. It's an understatement to say that this transition has not been without pain. However, the CMS transition is in fact nearly complete - and it's time to move on to use the far more capable information technology now available to improve our daily lives. Also in August, 2007, the formerCMS, CCMS, and BIS services were joined together under the CIO to form Administrative Computing Services within the Information Resources & Technology division. ACS also has a strong client service focus, concentrating on support of essential campus budget, finance, student services, and human resources business processes. At the same time, ACSfocuses all its activities on ensuring that academic business processes flow smoothly (e.g. advising, financial aid, grading). In addition, ACS is in the process of forming a Data Warehouse and Database unit that promises to vastly improve reporting and business analytics for enrollment, finance and other strategic processes.
Information security and accessible technology are two critical areas of modern information technology that also represent mandates from both the state and federal levels. IRT has identified leaders for both functions in the form of an Information Security Officer (ISO) and a Coordinator of the Accessible Technology Initiative. The ISO is busy planning to protect the privacy of your information on campus, while the ATI Coordinator is beginning a large-scale implementation of accessibility improvements for websites, instructional materials, and IT procurement.
IT infrastructure issues have hardly been forgotten in the shift toward academic transformation. Rather, that infrastructure has turned into a utility that we simply assume will be available to us on a daily, and even hourly, basis. The Network & Telecommunications Services and Operations & System Services groups within IRT keep that IT infrastructure operating as reliably as our light switches at home. They operate the telephone, voice mail, network, server, and storage systems that we almost take for granted in our daily work lives. Two increasingly important strategic areas of IT are also handled by these two groups - identity management (i.e. assuring those using our networks are who they say they are) and emergency messaging.
Information Resources and Technology will be developing a comprehensive strategic plan for information technology at Sacramento State during the spring, 2008 semester. Although the primary work will be overseen by the IT Steering Committee and Academic/Administrative advisory committees, input and feedback will be sought from all quarters of the campus. We welcome your input and look forward to working with you to implement the new Sacramento State Strategic Plan.
