'Memory Wound' Will Be Stark Reminder Of Norway's Massacre
Creating A 'Memory Wound' To Recall Those Who Were Lost

If you've had a chance to visit the Sept. 11 memorials at ground zero in Manhattan, the Pentagon and western Pennsylvania — or perhaps have been to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. — then you have a sense of the powerful emotions that such places can stir up.
This week, the design was chosen for a memorial to the victims of the July 22, 2011, attacks in Norway that left 77 people dead and several hundred more wounded. Swedish artist Jonas Dahlberg's vision for what's being called a "memory wound" seems likely to join the list of such memorials that evoke strong feelings.
Dahlberg's concept cuts a channel through a peninsula that faces Utoya Island, where 69 of the victims — most of them young people attending a political camp — were shot and killed by right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik.
The architecture site DesignBoom.com writes that in Dahlberg's design:
"Visitors are guided along a wooden pathway through the forest, creating a contemplative journey to the site of the cut. A pathway traverses into a tunnel, leading within the rocky landscape directly to the dramatic edge of the void.
"At the border ... [visitors] can see the flat vertical stone surface of the other side, where the names of those who died will be visibly inscribed into the terrain. The names will be close enough to read clearly yet ultimately out of reach, an acknowledgement of what is forever irreplaceable."
TheJournal.ie adds that "in a touching addition, the landmass which is taken away to create the void will be moved to a second memorial site at the Government Quarter in Oslo. It will be used to create a path between two of the buildings there, with the names of the eight people killed in Breivik's bomb there the same day inscribed along the edge."
Correction March 20, 2014
The "memory wound" art installation is to be on a peninsula near Utoya Island, not on the island itself as our post originally reported.

Finish with Finesse Every Time
Over a lifetime, homeowners may repeatedly refinish floors, depending on wear. However, sometimes the initial finish, or subsequent re-finishes, can lead to challenges.
Forest to Finish – What to Look For
What happens at the lumber mill? How stable is kiln-dried lumber? What about during manufacturing? What about my wood floor or furniture? Finished wood shouldn't need moisture measurement, right?
Product Spotlight
The moisture meter preferred by wood flooring professionals. Scans many board feet quickly and accurately – with no pin holes and no interference from surface moisture. Measures softwoods, hardwoods, and tropical species.

Sergio Martinez Trainer Switch as Dzinziruk Approaches
By Rick Reeno
Due to some personal issues, trainer Gabriel Sarmiento (46-2, 25KOs) is unable to work the corner of Sergio Martinez this coming Saturday at Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. Martinez faces unbeaten WBO junior middleweight champion Sergiy Dzinziruk (37-0, 23KOs) for the vacant WBC Diamond belt at 160-pounds. According to Martinez's adviser, Sampson Lewkowicz, Gabriel's brother, Pablo Sarmiento, will take over the head trainer duties in the corner on Saturday night.
"Everything is under control. There won't be any problems. Gabriel and his brother come from the same school. His brother was part of the entire training camp [as an assistant trainer] and everything will be fine," Lewkowicz told BoxingScene.com.

The Value of Disclosing IPR to Open Standard Setting Organizations

In light of the increased demand for interoperability, fragmented ownership of intellectual property and high costs for communicating new technologies, open standard-setting activities emerged as important coordination and diffusion mechanism. Little is known about the value of contributions to standard setting organizations (SSOs) for technology providers. This paper provides a large-scale empirical assessment of the value of disclosures to SSOs for technology sponsors. Our findings show that disclosures referring explicitly to patents are evaluated positively by the market while this is not the case for blanket disclosures. This indicates that the expected benefits of participating in SSOs outweigh potential disadvantages from making patented technologies available to the market under SSO licensing conditions. The market does not appreciate disclosures to SSOs if there is uncertainty about the associated technologies.

text: 000 FXUS63 KARX 260443 AFDARX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 1143 PM CDT Sun Sep 25 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Tuesday) Issued at 210 PM CDT Sun Sep 25 2016 Surface cold front associated with an upper level trough will continue its march eastward tonight, firing showers and a few thunderstorms along and ahead of it. Expecting this activity to be east of the local forecast area. Later tonight through Tuesday...spirals of upper level energy will sweep across the Upper Mississippi River valley as the upper level trough/closed low meanders east/southeast...while the system`s sfc low is progged to drop into MI Tue afternoon. With ample moisture to tap into, expect areas of showers to spark off this forcing. Mostly across the north tonight-Monday, but shifting to eastern parts of the forecast area Tue as the sfc low slides across eastern WI. Not expecting much for amounts, so should not have an impact on current high/flooding river systems or pose a threat for more areal/flash flooding. Back to Monday...tight pressure gradient builds in from the Northern Plains...with bufkit soundings suggesting mixing up to 800 mb. Should be a rather windy day. Observations across the Dakotas indicating peak wind gusts from 35-45 mph this afternoon. A bit more favorable setup over there today than across this area for Monday, but gusts in the wind prone/open areas of southeast MN and northeast IA in the mid 30s to near 40 mph certainly possible. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Sunday) Issued at 210 PM CDT Sun Sep 25 2016 GFS/ECMWF remain bullish on an extended period of dry weather... building in an upper level ridge coupled with a high at the sfc. Definitely needed for the region. One point of the interest though is the trough that drops toward the southeast U.S. after Tue. The GFS favors kicking that off the coast and letting it go on its way. The ECMWF, however, cuts off the closed low from the mean flow, gradually meandering it back north to across the eastern Great Lakes for the weekend. This solution would put Wisconsin back under some rain chances. The GEM on the otherhand doesn`t take the trough southeast at all, rather pushes it mostly due east to across the New England states for the weekend. Going to lean on the drier solution and keep it dry. As for temps, they look fairly seasonable for the later half of this week...right around the late September normals. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 1143 PM CDT Sun Sep 25 2016 The back edge of the lower VFR ceilings has worked through both airports this evening. However, there is another area of mid level clouds rotating southeast across Minnesota that the 26.03Z RAP suggests could bring a ceiling back into both airports for a while overnight. These clouds should clear out before sunrise for a sunny start to Monday before scattered to broken cumulus form late in the morning or early in the afternoon. The 26.00Z NAM has backed off on the amount of moisture available for KRST and no longer suggests a VFR ceiling will form there Monday afternoon. The other issue to contend with Monday will be the winds. A pretty tight pressure gradient will be over the Upper Midwest and with steep lapse rated developing during the morning this should lead to gusts of 25 to 30 knots for a good share of the day. && .ARX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. MN...None. IA...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...Rieck LONG TERM....Rieck AVIATION...04

Q: How do you define "love"? I know it's more than an overwhelming emotional response or being charmed, but I'm not sure what an appropriate definition would be. Can you help me out? – J., Raleigh, N.C.
A: This is a wonderful Valentine's Day question.
My favorite wordless definition of romantic love is what I look for when I interview brides and grooms in advance of the wedding day. If they touch and laugh, I know they are truly in love. My favorite wordy definition of love is from D.H. Lawrence, who called love having "the courage of your tenderness." My blessings of joy go out to all my courageously tender readers who still have someone to touch and someone with whom to laugh.
However, for Valentine's Day this year, I want to add a reflection about the connection between love and faith.
Faith expands our experience of love by teaching us to love God. Loving God allows us to see the universal power of love because it teaches us that all people, not just those we choose to love, are made in the image of God.
Love of God thus expands our capacity to love each other. The Hebrew Bible understood this by commanding us to love God (Deut 6:5) and by commanding us to use that love to help us love our neighbor and the stranger in our midst (Lev 19:18). Jesus knew these foundational Jewish teachings and made them the heart of Christian ethics:
"Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Matthew 22:35-40)
I don't want to ruin your Valentine's Day, but I feel compelled to move beyond dark chocolate to the dark gift of love, which is the pain we feel when those we love die. Love makes us exquisitely vulnerable to loss. I love the writings of C.S. Lewis on this point. His eloquence and faith are unsurpassed:
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket – safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell." (from "The Four Loves")
So love is not just a gauzy feeling of passion and desire. Love is a courageous choice to become eventually wounded.
Will Jenks, a paraplegic friend of Charlie Millard, whom I met through my dear friend Gerry Roche, wrote a letter that was never published but should have been:
"I think it is likely I am not the most seriously wounded among us, only the most conspicuously bandaged. Sooner or later, every one of us will be made to feel flawed, inadequate, powerless. The solution is to let yourself be loved. Not pitied, indulged or pampered, but loved. It is sometimes a matter of asking others, even those we have no claim on, to carry part of the load, to make room in their plans for our needs. It is sometimes a matter of not asking, but waiting and trusting others to sense our wants; it is always a matter of expecting to be loved. And the time to begin is now. It will put us in touch with the truth about ourselves and about every other human being. We are precarious, we are mortal, but we are loved.
And that is how I hope to love and be loved.

Tastes great
Posted by Reviewer1533331 on Sep 26, 2010
The Bluebonnet Chocolate whey protein isolate tastes excellent. I am not picky about flavors on products such as this, where health is the main concern, but nevertheless I have to say this has such a good flavor. Fast shipping & reasonable prices, too.
all good but i don't like a taste of stevia
Posted by Reviewer2445112 on Aug 09, 2014
this product has stevia as sweetner. i personnaly dont like taste of stevia as sweetner...it's taste like artifitial flavour. i usually add honey in my protein drink. but now i don't.
no soy makes this very good
Posted by 4647831336328803100 on Sep 02, 2015
My daughter really likes the Chocolate flavor and I like it in any flavor because it does not have SOY!!
Amazing protein powder
Posted by 5137900793759539015 on Feb 13, 2016
I never comment on products unless I have a complaint - but this is an exception. I have tried SO many protein powders and this one tops them all. I LOVE IT. I can mix a scoop with a cup of water (to avoid extra carbs and calories) and I truly feel like I am having a special treat. And getting 26 grams of protein in the process! There is no gritty feeling, and no bad aftertaste. Hands down my favorite!
Great product!
Posted by 5559814486864792321 on May 16, 2016
I've been using this protein supplement for years and have had great results. It tastes great too! I would recommend it to anyone that lifts weights or just needs to add more protein to their diet.
Bluebonnet Nutritions Whey Protein Isolate is the best
Posted by Reviewer1561384 on Nov 16, 2011
I have tried quite a few of the better known and recommended whey protein products and by far this is the best. It dissolves readily in water or even in greek yogurt, has a good flavor, and best of all, is sweetened with stevia.

Fertitta talks UFC Rio, Silva vs Henderson on FOX: "Anderson just needs a win"
By Guilherme Cruz
Photo UFC
UFC owner Lorenzo Ferttita landed in Brazil and already got to work. After a trip to Manaus, where he met the governor, Fertitta went to Rio de Janeiro for the UFC Rio hype, and he spoke to TATAME about the expectations for the show, the possible return to Brazil in 2012, at Manaus, and a potential Anderson Silva vs Dan Henderson clash at UFC on FOX.
I heard you were at Manaus. How was the meeting there?
It was good. We've met with the governor of Manaus and they want us to do a fight there. It's interesting for us, because Jose Aldo is from there, so it's maybe an opportunity to bring him back to fight in front of his home town.
They said the show is already set for August 2012…
We're talking to them, trying to find a day, maybe July or August.
How do you see the MMA market in Brazil? Do you already expected the tickets to sold out in 70 minutes?
No, we underestimated how popular it was here. If we could do it again, we would do it in a big soccer stadium, you know? But when we put the tickets on sale, we really didn't know. But it's been amazing the amount of support, it's unbelievable.
What do you expect from this Saturday's show?
I can't wait… I'm really looking forward when Anderson Silva walks out for the fight – I think the arena it's gonna explode. I think the Brazilian fans are very passionate, they're gonna be loud, and I'm really looking forward feeling the Brazilian culture in the arena.
We spoke to Dana White, and he said he plans on doing a TUF Brazil in 2012. Are you really working on that?
We're working on that, we're really close to get something done. We think it's gonna be very successful – a Brazilian Ultimate Fighter, all Brazilian fighters. One thing that is great about this country is that you have so many great fighters, finding talents is easy. There are some many good kids.
Do you think a TUF Brazil would do a good rating in as a TC show in the US?
I think it would, because one of the things about this sport is that people love to see fighters and good fights, so I do think the Americans would watch Brazilians in a Ultimate Fighter.
There was a report in a Brazilian newspaper saying that the UFC is planning 12 shows in Brazil on the next year. Is that possible, considering that the UFC did 24 shows all over the world last year?
I don't think 12, maybe we'll do 4 or 5 in Brazil. I think it's more realistic.
Will Brazil host only pay-per-view card, or will we get some Fight Night shows?
Yes, we'll do combinations of big pay-per-views, like we're doing in Rio, as well as Fight Nights.
What do you expect for the future of the UFC in the US and all over the world?
First in the US, we just had a big announcement on FOX, the biggest sport network in the country, and we think that is gonna make this even more popular. On the same level as NFL. In other countries as Brazil and South America, we're competing, we wanna be as big as soccer. That's what we're looking to do.
What do you expect from UFC on FOX's first edition? Do you already have a main event set?
We don't have a main event set yet, we'll find out probably after this Saturday, these fights in Rio, then we'll set a main event. But it'll be something big. It'll be a big fight.
We reported this Monday that Anderson Silva could put his middleweight title on the line against Dan Henderson, one he beats Yushin Okami…
I would love to do that. Anderson just needs a win.
IDK, Sounds cool, Honestly, I just love watching him fight, and regaurdless if its hendo or sonnen we are all going to watch. The fox card would be awesome if Anderson moved up to 205, thats alot of weight to gain and stay in shape n train the same way in not alot of time, assuming that he doesnt get hurt. Like alot of people said already, hendo shouldnt cut to 185 he is up there in age and wouldnt be smart for him to do. JUst excited to see what the ufc brings us!

Skip to comments.Mitt Romneys road to presidency this fall looks narrow on electoral map
Posted on 04/30/2012 9:13:27 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued
Bushs two successful races, and the map on which he built them, are quite instructive when trying to understand Romneys narrow margin for error this fall.
In 2000, Bush won 271 electoral votes one more than he needed to claim the presidency. In eking out that victory, Bush not only carried the South and Plains states with a near sweep but also claimed wins in swing states such as Nevada, Colorado, Missouri and the major electoral-vote prizes of Ohio and Florida.
If Romney was able to duplicate Bushs 2000 map, he would take 285 electoral votes thanks to redistricting gains over the past decade.
But to do so, Romney would need not only to win the five swing states mentioned above with the exception of Missouri, all of them are considered tossups (at worst) for the president at the moment but also hang on to states such as North Carolina and Virginia where Bush cruised 12 years ago. (Obama carried both states in
Now, the good(ish) news for Romney is that if he has a low ceiling, he also has a relatively high floor.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) won 173 electoral votes in 2008. If Romney carried those same 22 states under the 2012 map, he would win 180 electoral votes.
Add Indiana, which McCain lost but which will almost certainly go for Romney in 2012, and the former Massachusetts governors electoral floor sits at 191.
Given the narrowness of his electoral map window, the key for Romney this fall is to win in places that Bush, McCain and other Republican nominees over the past two decades have struggled to make inroads. No Republican has carried Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes), Michigan (16) or Wisconsin (10) in any of the past five elections, for example.

Bingo. There were about 30 primaries before Santorum dropped out. The opportunity was there to vote for Santorum or Gingrich.
I live in Utah and the Utah primary is the last primary election in the country. I still plan on voting. It will be interesting to see who is on the ballot (Romney for sure, Santorum? Gingrich - maybe, unless he never paid the bounced check...)
It's a sad realization for America that romney had mega $$ support and verbal support and a Patriot like Newt had to make plans day by day because of little support. They don't love America only want what she stands for and no fight in them to keep it.
True to an extent. Santorum dropped out because after the Wisconsin loss, money donations to his campaign vanished. I'm pretty sure the same thing happened to Gingrich, only much much earlier (when he said that the South would vote for him and actually that didn't happen after Georgia.) And after Delaware last week, I do believe Gingrich was out of luck in regards to monetary donations.
If you look through my historical threads I've never advocated Christie for any federal office; I understand that he is the solution to problems many states don't have. For a liberal northeastern state, he is an absolute fascist (in a good way).
Until someone has lived here and watched their property taxes increase $500 to $600 annually, I take their opinions of him with a grain of salt.
Auh2orepublican correctly pointed out that I forgot Florida. IMHO, Romney is the slight favorite there.
One thing no one remembers is that Obama almost carried Georgia and Montana in the last election. With Georgia, it was obviously a huge turnout in inner-city Atlanta. I don't know what happened in Montana. John McCain and Sarah Palin had natural appeal there as westerners.
Think of Obama as the carbonized crumbs of a slice of burnt toast. You know, the black, crunchy stuff that you shake out.
I'm not saying to take him lightly, GOD NO. But he's done, unless video of Mitt eating uncooked aborted fetuses while on a coke binge appears.
If Romney should be the nominee, I will seriously consider ... not at this point promise ... to consider a write-in vote for President. Down-ticket, I have already searched out the most conservative available.
I vote in Maine, so this time around, my vote actually counts, as we are poised for a counter-revolution spurred by universal dislike of our RINO-Girl Senatrices.
Well, I guess that's progess, sorta.
Santorum $pent TOO much for his lust to LIE about NEWT. And he started his lies during the debates in the after reports right after the debates which cost him nothing but cost him any support from me thereafter.
In that case, I dont see the Republicans standing up to 0bama any more then than they are doing now. Do you?
Of course! They'd have to out of sheer political necessity. If you are going to be the opposition party, you must oppose or else have no reason for existing.
Well, the republicans are doing a poor job so far.
I will not be dictated to as to who I vote for. I will vote for Romney with gritted teeth.
Well, do so honestly.
I said I'm voting for Romney.
No, initially you claimed you were voting for Obama. Without a sarcasm tag.
I'm voting for 0bama./s
Does that meet your approval?/s
Considering that someone in post 22 thought you were serious, yes. I'm sure elsewhere on FR someone will point to your comment as proof that FR is full of Obama voters now.
If you think they're bad now, just wait until they're working to advance socialism under a Republican president.
Excellent point. Most people will/would see Romney and think all is well. Anything goes because, after all, he's a Republican.
I've said that for years.
Considering that someone in post 22 thought you were serious, yes. Im sure elsewhere on FR someone will point to your comment as proof that FR is full of Obama voters now.
I told each person who thought I was serious that I was being sarcastic. Freepers who know me knew I was not serious.
Besides, Freepers don't vote for evil bastards like 0bama.

If he does that, he is truly a stupid person. My guess is he will tune in with the voting block based on exit polls which voted for him. But I can't read his mind. All we can do is hope he makes a right turn.
Hey, you don't have to explain it to me. Christie can do considerable good in NJ.
Then perhaps he shouldn't have run at all, if he wasn't prepared to go the distance. Heaven knows he certainly didn't hurt Romney at any point of the primaries.
You always say the dumbest things. I have no time for your nonsense.
Evil never gives up so neither can we. Continue the fight against evil, never waver or be fearful, until we hear 'you finished the race, you fought a good battle, well done'. For this is only a battle as the war is won!
Good quote from Churchill.
Truth hurts. At least we know where he really stands when he endorsed Romney.
I don't know Jedi, if Scalia dies under Obama America could be done.
Human nature. It's better to be pleasantly surprised than horribly disappointed.
Let me go state by state. I expect a close win but I can't say I'd be surprised if Romney or dumb voters screw it up. Romney needs to avoid gaffes at all costs but not pull a Dewey and think he can coast even if he opens up a lead.
Obama did okay in Georgia cause of Black turnout alone. It will be lower and even if it's not 50% will not happen. He can get 47% there but never 50. That winning margin for a democrat would be like getting blood from a stone.
Montana is the least GOP state among the sparsely populated Western prairie states. Obama did well in Montana and pretty good in the Dakotas. He could never win any of them. MT was very close only cause Ron Paul stole 2% as the nominee of the state's rouge Constitution party. Obama + Nader got almost 48% but 50 is a bridge too far. He'll get closer to 40 this time. I think ND will put him under 40.
Arizona is one of few states I could imagine having a swing *towards* Obama cause it was McCain's home state and he did better than a generic Republican would have in 2008 (there are some Mormons there though so maybe Romney would have too). There are 2 polls out, one showing Obama up 42-40 and another showing Romney up 42-40. Scary right?
Lets be real though, AZ is a Republican state there is no chance Obama wins it unless he increases his popularity and wins a big landslide making it meaningless anyway. Clinton only won it cause of Perot. It's more likely Obama does get that 42%, and Romney gets most of the rest winning big. Undecideds do not go to the incumbent and I don't know if those polling orgs are even halfway decent, I never heard of them. I think Obama loses AZ by 8-12 points most likely.
Missouri was the closest GOP state. It is not a swing state in POTUS elections anymore. If the Republican wins he's winning Missouri without difficulty.
Obama will not take any electoral votes from the GOP column.
Omaha and Indiana are gimme gains. The rats hope to hold NC and polls are close but I can't buy it. He won by an eyelash last time with under 50% and is LESS popular now, the state went huge GOP in 2010. He will lose that.
The big 3 are Florida, VA, and Ohio. We need them all.
Florida tilts the GOP way and I think VA does as well. Ohio is the ballgame, it will probably be tight, this is reason #1 why Portman is on the VP list.
That's 266.
NH is one of Romney's home states and is very White. I think he wins that and that's 270. Obama doesn't seem strong in Iowa and that's White I think Romney takes it.
Colorado is a very even state now I expect a very close result there.
That would be 285-253 with NH/IA/CO and that's my guess right now.
Nevada is more rat than Colorado, Obama won by a disappointingly large margin in a state that's usually close. Assuredly close and in play though.
New Mexico looks bad I could see them still voting easily for Obama. It was very close in 2004, big Obama in 2008. Martinez as VP could help, Gary Johnson as Libertarian could take 5% and make it impossible anyway.
Wisconsin (10) doesn't look good but 2008 was an aberration there. It was very close in 2004 and I expect it will be again. A win by the Governor would provide momentum. Ryan or Pawlenty as the VP would help (as would the Governor of course, that's the man that should be President instead of Glove Romney).
PA and MI tilt dem. PA will be close, MI was big Obama but close in 04 and is a Romney homestate and went big Republican in 2010, (too bad there wasn't a Senate seat up that year). Both are in play. Either assures victory.
MN is unlikely but not out of range of becoming competitive.
Maine's second district should be in play but is extremely likely not to matter.
Nevertheless, that's what Romney did in Massachusetts.
In general, I agree with your analysis. I don't think NC is a slam-dunk, but with a conservative runningmate for Romney it could become so. That leaves FL, VA and OH, plus one more state, that Romney must win to get to 270. I concur (and have been saying for many months now) that NH could be the state that gets the GOP to 270; and I agree that IA and CO are also possibilities to get Romney over the hump, although I don't think they're quite as promising as NH. OH is really the key, since without it I don't see how Romney could get to 270 short of a GOP resurgence in the Mountain West (PA, MI and WI won't go GOP if OH is going Dem, and to get to 270 without OH Romney would need NH + CO + IA + NV). That's one of the reasons why Romney needs to pick Portman. And if everything swings the GOP's way and Romney wins with 350+ EVs, all the better.
But I have to call attention to a word you used that I had let pass the first time you used it (about a week ago) because I had assumed it was due to fat fingers. Ron Paul was nominated by MT's *rogue* Constitution Party, not its "rouge" Constitution Party. You must have confused the Constitution Party with that other CP, the Communist Party (of Quebec, I guess). : )
THAT damnedable (okay fine, damnable) word has always given me trouble. Since I spelled "rouge" correctly my buddy spellcheck did not help me out. He doesn't care if the sentence makes sense or not so long as every word is in his database. I appreciate spelling corrections.
I'm never sure where to put commas but it would likely be too much work to make sure my grammar is 100%. ;)
Obama can't win Arizona. In 2010, AZ elected a republican U.S. senator and republican governor. Republicans gained two seats, in the U.S. House, in AZ.
The Republican will win Florida and Ohio. In 2010, both states elected new U.S. senators and governors. All four of those people are Republicans.
I don't think I've ever done that but I can see it happening if were to write something about the Punic Wars. N is right next to the b. :-D
If you wrote about the Punic Wars you'd be careful to spell "Punic" correctly. But if you wrote about "public areas" you'd probably breeze right through it, and if you missed the L the spell checker wouldn't help you at all.
Nice blow by blow breakdown, as usual.
Regarding Nevada, there are a lot of Mormons in Nevada (isn't Reid Mormon?) so that would help Myth. Also Lost Wages has been hit hard by unemployment and the subprime mortgage debacle. I'll bet a lot of folks there are highly disappointed in Mr. Hopey-Changey.
* Romney is at worst unknown. Obama, however, is known. Romney's positions are clearly to the right of Obama. With Romney you might get 75% of what you want. You might even get more. With Obama you will be lucky to get 5%.
* Reward? First off, the presidency is NOT about rewarding or punishing any individual man. Frankly, NOBODY is that important. It is about the people of the country, first foremost and always. Secondly, losing on "Dont ask Dont tell" came about because we lost elections. What did you think you'd get with Clinton, Obama, Pelosi and Reid? Ice cream cake?? Elections have consequences, and when you lose you get a shift toward the middle, as it validates your opponent and debunks your side. The only way you can shift a party to its base is to have it validated by WINNING. You argue the symptoms and not the root cause.
* I lived in SoCal for almost three decades, so you in the northeast have nothing on us in terms of having to deal with an inept Republican party. And by choosing to play "take your ball and go home" out of spite you will do federally what the state party has done locally, marginalize our views and our values. You will get to keep your precious purity at the cost of giving your true enemy, Democrats, the power.
I totally disagree. He wont win a single state in the south. The Obamaeconomy is just too bad. Plus, I expect Romney to take a surprise state like WI too.
Va polling is showing pretty consistent leads for Dems. Again if only hoping made it so.
Regarding Nevada, there are a lot of Mormons in Nevada
Look at the map, O wants to put AZ in Play.
What states border Utah?
Yes Mormons are a big reason why Romney won the Nevada caucuses twice and he'll need them to win in November.
Hardly. I wouldn't call Romney a 'winner' under any circumstances. He's a liar and a fraud. Just because you've sunk your standards down to that level, doesn't mean I'm required to do the same. I never have and never will.

CHILDRESS - Two women remained in critical condition Thursday at Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo after being injured in a Wednesday afternoon wreck near Childress.
Childress native Barbara Hidalgo, 24, and her mother, Manuela Franco, age unknown, were listed in critical condition at NWTH, a hospital spokesman said.
Hidalgo's 4-month-old daughter, Ravin Hidalgo, also was injured in the wreck and was listed in satisfactory condition at NWTH.
The three were riding in a 1992 Mitsubishi driven southbound on U.S. Highway 62 by Lydia Franco, 26, about a mile south of Childress, according to Department of Public Safety reports. Shortly before noon, Lydia Franco was waiting for traffic to clear so she could turn left onto Avenue B SW, when the car was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer driven by T.J. Jones, 54, of Abilene, the report said.
The car was tossed into the ditch by the impact, and the tractor-trailer swerved left into a pasture.
The three most-severely injured patients were flown to Amarillo by Lifestar and a medical transport airplane.
Lydia Franco was taken by ground ambulance to Childress Regional Medical Center, where she was listed in stable condition. Jones was not seriously injured.
Manuela Franco was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle, the report said. Ravin Hidalgo was in a child seat and suffered an apparent broken leg.
No citations or charges had been filed in the accident Thursday afternoon, but the investigation was still ongoing, troopers said.

This made a very colorful and tasty drink. Made for Aus/Nz Tag.
This would be a great drink on a warm summers day. Be sure you have nice tall glasses and plenty of ice. We probably didn't have enough crushed ice to suit us, but that was our fault. It is also hard to find the proper "British style" lemonade here, so I think if I could find that this would be even better! Definitely go for mint and maraschino cherry--this drink demands it! Thanks katew for a yummy summer drink! Made for Potluck Tag.

Olympia Regular Rise FZ Fs is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by clairified from Doesn't get any better than these breeches! After years of suffering in ill-fitting or strangely designed breeches, it was such a relief to find the Olympia full seat breeches! At a show the last thing I need to worry about is how my outfit looks- I know that these breeches won't pucker, gap, sag, or show anything that I don't want the world to see! The "V" shape in the back is ingenious, it ensures a fit flat against my waistline so there is none of the dreaded "plummer butt" while in two point! I think my favorite feature of the Olympia breeches is the pocket design with the the double curves, it sets them apart without being too flashy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by shagya from Perfect show breeches These are perfect for shows -- thick white fabric that stretches. They are expensive but they wash up great (machine, hang dry) and are very comfortable. They are out of stock a lot, so buy them when you see them! Can I wish for whites with a black seat?
Date published: 2015-03-21
Rated 5 out of 5 by ChloeNS from Worth the buy. Have three pairs of the Olympia breeches and one of which is this full seat. Very comfortable to wear and provides the little extra stick that you expect with a full seat. These breeches may have a pretty price tag but are worth it for the quality you get from the product. I have the white color and they are truly white and bright. Olympia breeches are the way to go for show gear! Fits true to size. Definitely recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gymah from Best breeches ever! I bought a pair of these breeches a month ago and they are just fantastic! The fit is perfect, they feel wonderful and I get tons of compliments on them. I got them in navy and the colour is beautiful. I love these breeches so much that I am going to get a second pair for showing.

COLUMBIA -- It's only a field goal or less.
Still, South Carolina officially is favored this week in a large Southeastern Conference football game scheduled for the very unfriendly confines of Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga.
Don't look now -- the No. 12 Gamecocks, favored against Georgia, likely will be favored in all of their games this regular season.
"Not the way we played last week," head coach Steve Spurrier said of a 56-37 victory over East Carolina in the opener. "We've got to play a lot better."
They don't give trophies for every major accomplishment in college football, but someone in Las Vegas should send a shiny statue of Cocky The Gamecock hanging out at Caesars Palace.
Though it didn't happen overnight, South Carolina has gone from frequent underdog to a program that gets an opponent's best shot.
"Ah, I think we always get everybody's best shot, to tell you the truth," Spurrier said Tuesday at his weekly news conference. "In our minds, it's how lousy our team played last week."
Motivation 101
The Head Ball Coach outlined why the Gamecocks were fortunate to escape the East Carolina game in Charlotte.
"We have to play a lot better before we think we're hot stuff, that's what I'm trying to say," he said. "We're not very hot right now. We're just an average bunch of guys out there right now."
OK, maybe so.
But most head coaches love playing the underdog card, and South Carolina football coaches traditionally receive a big stack of them when they're hired.
Now, Spurrier has to adjust back to his Florida days when Georgia was the team using the point spread as motivation.
"None of that means anything," Spurrier said of this week's official line.
He made another point spread point: "The best team doesn't always win in college football."
Of course, we all watched strange stuff Saturday.
South Florida won at Notre Dame, and Sacramento State upset Oregon State, among other things.
Favored status, however, is a reflection of South Carolina's dominant 17-6 victory over the Bulldogs last September in Columbia, Georgia's 6-7 stumble through 2010, Boise State's 35-21 win last week in Atlanta …
Oh, and the real or perceived pressure on Georgia head coach Mark Richt.
'Gradually up'
Ridiculous, considering how well Richt has done for so long in Athens. Georgia, even with an 0-2 start, easily can win nine games against one of the SEC's weakest league schedules.
It's just that Georgia fans don't like looking up at garnet in the SEC standings.
"Things change quickly sometimes," Spurrier said. "Obviously, if you go into a little bit of a slump and you're at a school that's used to winning and you're not winning as big as you used to, the fans get a little irritated. That's just the way it is.
"I came to a program that, actually, the coach before me (Lou Holtz) had a losing record. Our expectations weren't quite like Florida and Tennessee and Georgia. So we had nowhere to go but up. We've gone gradually up. We're not up yet, that's for sure. But we're trying to get there."
Week-to-week point spread respect from the smart money is a big step.

érrorplan is a web site apparently set up by unhappy top-tier Aeroplan members documenting Air Canada's poor service and diminishing benefits to their best customers. Air Canada, as you might imagine, is none too happy about it — especially since thousands of érrorplan brochures have been found in their airplanes and airport lounges around the world. (Frequent fliers indeed.) The airline is trying to track them down and stop them — on the grounds that érrorplan is using their intellectual property. Bye bye, air miles.

26 septembre 2013, 1:30 pm, Artl@s Seminar, École Normale Superiéure, Paris: Hiroko Ikegami, "Thoughts on Rauschenberg and After"
Seminar Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
The first half of my talk will introduce research results and arguments in my book, The Great Migrator: Robert Rauschenberg and the Global Rise of American Art, published from The MIT Press in 2010. The main methodological challenge for this study was how to create a new theoretical framework for Rauschenberg—the symbolic figure of American art's triumph, on whom so much had been already said—beyond the nationbased art history. Unlike previous revisionist studies that have viewed the postwar rise of American art as a consequence of American propaganda during the Cold War era, I wanted to weave a more complex narrative about the phenomenon by presenting four case studies on Rauschenberg's interaction with the local art communities—namely in Paris, Venice, Stockholm, and Tokyo. With an emphasis on the active agency of these locales, my study sought to illuminate the global rise of American art as a crosscultural and reciprocal process, in which each culture had to negotiate its presence in the international art scene vis-ŕ-vis the most powerful force, American art.
In the second half of my talk, I will discuss my current project, which deals with the development of Pop in Japan. If my study on Rauschenberg attempted to decenter the canon of postwar modernism by situating American art in the context of postwar art as an international event, the next step would be to examine diverse practices of Pop Art that unfolded outside Western mainstream cultures. However, Pop-inspired work by Japanese artists wasn't really called "Pop," as the term meant nothing but "American Pop Art" at the time (despite the term's origin in British Pop). The methodological challenge for this study is then to create a theoretical framework from scratch to map out this phenomenon, and to connect it to the arts of other regions. As a consulting curator for Walker Art Center's exhibition "International Pop," which will open in the spring of 2015, I will introduce works by a number of artists including Shinohara Ushio, Yokoo Tadanori, and Tanaami Keiichi, with a particular emphasis on Tanaami, who tried to undo the boundary between art and design with his inter-media practices in artist's books, collages, and experimental animation films.

Cigna to Acquire Great-West Healthcare for $1.5B
Cigna announced late Monday it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Great-West Healthcare, the healthcare division of Great-West Life & Annuity, Inc., for approximately $1.5 billion in cash. Cigna said it will also fund around $400M of additional capital to support the acquired business. Cigna said it anticipates the acquisition to be accretive to its 2008 EPS outlook of $4.00 to $4.20 (vs. analyst estimates of $4.29/share) and beyond, "by achieving synergies related to managing medical costs, capturing operating expense synergies and growing membership over time." The transaction is expected to be completed during the first-half of 2008, subject to standard regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. "Great-West Healthcare's capabilities clearly complement our own. This transaction will broaden our distribution reach and provider network in key geographic areas of the country, particularly the Western regions of the United States, and expand the range of health benefits and products we offer employers and their employees," commented Cigna CEO H. Edward Hanway. Great-West Healthcare is based in Denver and serves 2.2 million members, including 1.5M members with employer-based insurance. Shares of Cigna rose 0.6% to $49.31 on Monday and added 1.5% to $50.04 in thin after-hours trading.

Staples Net Falls 5% but Tops Estimates, Issues Strong Guidance
Staples saw its Q3 net earnings fall 5% Y/Y, topping EPS estimates by $0.02 on an adjusted basis, and predicted "earnings per share growth of approximately 15% for both the fourth quarter and the full year." The company grew sales 9% despite a 3% decline in North American same-store sales and forecast continued "high single digit" sales growth in Q4 and FY2008. Shares were up 10.53% in pre-market trading Tuesday (as of 8:41 AM ET). "While the economic environment in North America remains challenging, we are pleased to deliver profitable growth," said Chairman and CEO Ron Sargent (full earnings call transcript later today). Q3 adjusted EPS were $0.42 on sales of $5.17 billion; analysts were expecting adjusted EPS of $0.40 on sales of $5.1 billion, on average. The company expects international growth to remain a major sales driver, with low double-digit sales growth expected in local currencies, versus total growth (including U.S. operations) in the high single-digits. Based on its current estimates, Staples expects Q4 EPS of $0.53 and FY2008 EPS of $1.70. Current consensus analyst estimates are for Q4 EPS of $0.48 and FY2008 EPS of $1.63.

American Eagle Q3 EPS In-line, But Sales Miss
American Eagle Outfitters reported a fractional drop in third-quarter net income to $99.4 million, but earnings per share increased by a penny to $0.45, in-line with analysts' average estimate. Sales rose 7% to $744.4M, missing expectations of $753M. American Eagle said same-store-sales during the quarter rose 2%. The company cited heavier discounting to clear out unsold merchandise for its profit decline. American Eagle was also forced to increase promotions of winter wear due to unseasonably warm weather. Potentially further impacting its bottom-line is the likelihood of even more discounting and promotions this holiday season, in order to attract shoppers struggling with paying higher prices for oil and food. "In the third quarter we delivered a strong operating margin of 20.3% even though sales were below our original plan. These results reflected the benefits from operational improvements, expense management and technologies that have become inherent in our business over the past several years," commented CEO Jim O'Donnell. (Earnings call transcript later today). American Eagle expects Q4 EPS between $0.67 to $0.70, compared to analyst estimates of $0.70. It repurchased 2.4M shares during Q3 for approximately $58.5M. Shares of American Eagle fell 3.1% to $21.37 on Monday, but were last up 2.0% to $21.80 in thin pre-market trading.

Expedia, eLong Partner in Chinese Corporate Travel Foray
Internet travel leader Expedia (EXPE) said Monday its corporate travel unit will foray into China in a partnership with its subsidiary, China's number-two online travel firm eLong (LONG). The deal marks Expedia Corporate Travel's first move into Asia; it already has operations in the U.S., Canada, France, U.K., Spain, Italy, German and Belgium. "Our entry into the Asia-Pacific region is part of our commitment to grow with the needs of our customers," said Jean-Pierre Remy, president of Expedia Corporate Travel. "Many of our existing customers and prospects already do business in China, so we have a clear opportunity to better service the needs of these clients by being where they need us to be." In a note to investors, Citigroup analyst Catherine Leung wrote, "Corporate Travel in China is an attractive market opportunity. Managed corporate travel is not a widely implemented concept among local companies in China, though China has the fourth largest business travel market globally, and corporate travel accounts for over half of China's large, fast-growing travel market." Leung says the Chinese corporate travel market is currently led by American Express (AXP), followed by Ctrip (CTRP) which entered the market in 2006.
Tech Data: Strong Earnings, Weak Outlook
Shares of IT product distributor Tech Data (TECD) were up 2% in pre-market trading Tuesday after the company more than doubled its net income and posted record Q3 revenue. Adjusted net income of $40.9 million ($0.73/share) was up 128% from last year's $18 million ($0.33/share), well ahead of the $0.60/share analysts polled by Reuters expected. Net sales of $5.92 billion, up 9.1% from $5.43 billion, were a record for the quarter, and beat analyst estimates of $5.88 billion. "Steady market conditions during the quarter... drove record third-quarter net sales and a significant improvement in operating income year-over-year. Our European operations continue to strengthen and gain traction in the marketplace," CEO Robert Dutkowsky said (full earnings call transcript later today). Gross margin was up 23 basis points to 4.79% from last year, for which the company credited "solid improvements in the company's pricing and inventory management practices in Europe." Looking forward, Tech Data said it expects Q4 sales of $6.35 to $6.5 billion, weaker than the $6.52 billion analysts had been looking for. Shares of Tech Data's number-one competitor, global powerhouse IT distributor Ingram Micro (IM), are up 1.3% over the past three months, while Tech Data's shares have languished, falling almost 11%. "In contrast to its largest competitor, Ingram Micro, Tech Data is making no plans to expand into Asian markets. This will put the company at a disadvantage in terms of global scale," Morningstar analysts told investors in an Oct. 25 note.

Today's Market (via Sam Collins, ChangeWave.com)
Recap of Yesterday's Action
Stocks opened higher yesterday thanks to preliminary results from "Black Friday" that indicated sales were up 8.3% versus last year. But the euphoria ended when UBS (NYSE:UBS) downgraded both Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) to "neutral" from "buy," and the focus again turned to the sour mortgage situation.
Additional sellers piled on when it was reported that Citigroup (NYSE:C) is planning a huge layoff that could amount to cutting 15% of its positions, mostly in the mortgage-related areas.
More selling resulted from a comment by Sen. Chuck Schumer [D-N.Y.] indicating that he would urge an examination of Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta's lending practices to Countrywide Financial (CFC). That report not only drove CFC to lose another point but resulted in even more selling of the financial sector.
So what looked to be a strong carry-through of buying from Friday in the morning resulted in taking back Friday's gains and more by the afternoon.
At the close, the Dow Industrials were off 237 points at 12,743. The S&P 500 was down 33 points at 1,407, and the Nasdaq retreated by 56 points to 2,541. The NYSE traded 1.5 billion shares and the Nasdaq 2.1 billion shares. Breadth was negative on both exchanges to the tune of about 3-to-1.
The January crude oil contract traded lower by 48 cents, closing at $97.70, and the Amex Energy SPDR (NYSEARCA:XLE) closed at $71.49 down $2.56. The December gold contract gained $1.80, closing at $826.50, and the Philadelphia Gold/Silver Index [XAU] finished the day at $169.51, off $6.56.
What the Markets Are Saying
Yesterday, the bulls failed to hold the crucial line of support at S&P 1,430, ending close to the day's low of 1,407.22. Other important indices, like the Dow Industrials and the NYSE Composite broke support, as well, though by just a fraction compared to the S&P.
However, there is a wide band of support that ranges from the March 5 closing low of 1,374 to the Aug. 14 closing low of 1,406 that could still stem the tide of selling, and sentiment readings are so oversold now that a rebound is more likely than a rout.
The yellow caution flag is now out but today will probably open higher as a result of more positive news from the banks. Look for a reversal, but if the bulls can't get it going soon the yellow flag will turn to red.
Today's Trading Landscape
Today the University of Michigan Consumer Confidence reading and then the Case-Shiller home price index (which is expected to be down 5% year-over-year) will be released.
We also expect earnings from the following companies: American Eagle, Analog Devices, Dress Barn, Jackson Hewitt, Marvell Technologies, Pep Boys, Remy Cointreau, Semtech, Sigma Designs, Sonic Solutions, Talbots and Tech Data.
An injection of $7.5 billion investment capital into Citigroup (C) from the investment arm of Abu Dhabi is the big story this morning, but it is not the only positive news for the beleaguered banks. In England, Barclays (NYSE:BSC) said that its unsecured credit situation has "improved" and further charges are "negligible." And in Germany and France business confidence numbers were more positive than expected.

Kaguya launch postponed one day due to weather
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla
According to a statement by JAXA this morning, Kaguya's launch is going to be postponed by one day, to September 14, 2007 at 10:31:01 am JST (01:31:01 UTC, and September 13 at 18:01:01 PDT).
In the meantime, here's a website with lots of photos of the spacecraft being prepared for launch. There's not a lot of caption information, but I am guessing that the first one shows the spacecraft being mated to its upper stage rocket, and the second one shows it enclosed inside the protective aerodynamic fairing, ready to be mated to the lower stages of the H-IIA launch vehicle.

Some congregations ministered to people diagnosed with AIDS and people who were HIV-positive. Others shunned them.
That's the conclusion of author Robert Beckley in his book that details a 12-year study of clergy response to AIDS and HIV-positive patients.
Clergy, for the most part, were cooperative and willing to share their stories and explain their involvement or lack thereof with helping people with AIDS, Beckley said.
"I think it's been adequate," Beckley said of the church's response to AIDS.
Beckley said AIDS still is perceived as a disease that afflicts a certain group of people.
"Oh, that's that gay disease," he said, reflecting on how some people think or talk about the disease in terms of how it has afflicted one group.
Beckley is a professor of sociology and program director for sociology at West Texas A&M University.
His book "The Continuing Challenge of AIDS: Clergy Responses to Patients, Friends and Families" charts a 12-year study on how Protestant, Catholic and Jewish clergy in the United States and the United Kingdom have responded to the AIDS pandemic.
Although most clergy rejected the idea of a wrath of God against HIV-positive individuals or those who have developed AIDS, some still stigmatize the disease, the book's research found.
The study examined clergy who were involved in providing pastoral care, counseling and other aspects of ministry to AIDS patients and HIV positive individuals.
Jerome R. Koch, an associate professor of sociology at Texas Tech University, co-authored the book.
Beckley said the idea for the book dated to the mid-1980s, a few years after the disease was identified in 1981.
"I had a friend from my days at Baylor (University) who died from AIDS in about 1986," Beckley said. "I decided it would be an interesting project to figure out what churches were doing about this. Because for the most part, only churches with gay members seemed to be even concerned."
Beckley said he expects the WT bookstore to have the book soon.

The Grapes of Wrath is a landmark of American literature. A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man's fierce reaction to injustice, and of one woman's stoical strength, the novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes into the very nature of equality and justice in America. Although it follows the movement of thousands of men and women and the transformation of an entire nation, The Grapes of Wrath is also the story of one Oklahoma family, the Joads, who are driven off their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity. First published in 1939, The Grapes of Wrath summed up its era in the way that Uncle Tom's Cabin summed up the years of slavery before the Civil War. Sensitive to fascist and communist criticism, Steinbeck insisted that: The Battle Hymn of the Republic be printed in its entirety in the first edition of the book-which takes its title from the first verse: He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored. At once a naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and transcendental gospel, Steinbeck's fictional chronicle of the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930's is perhaps the most American of American classics.
