Johnson & Johnson vs. Abbott Laboratories in the Battle for Emerging Market Turf
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Emerging market pharmaceuticals are booming. So out of Johnson & Johnson
Read More: Warren Buffett's Top 10 Dividend Stocks
China is still considered the largest emerging market, and is also expected to grow pharmaceutical sales fastest. The country is expecting 15% to 18% pharmaceutical sales growth over the next several years. Both Johnson & Johnson and Abbott Laboratories are attempting to capture this strong growth trend.
Based on my 8 rules of dividend investing (more on that below), Abbott Laboratories has the advantage, but Johnson & Johnson is a fantastic company as well. Both businesses make excellent investments for long-term oriented shareholders seeking rising income.
Johnson & Johnson is the largest publicly traded health care business in the world with a market cap of $294 billion. Abbott Laboratories is a giant multinational corporation in its own right. The company has a market cap of about $64 billion.
Abbott Laboratories generates about 60% of its pharmaceutical revenue in emerging markets today and is expected to generate more than $2.8 billion in pharmaceutical sales in emerging markets this year. By 2016, it expects to generate 75% of pharmaceutical revenue from emerging markets. Abbott Laboratories is most successful in India, where it has the most sales of any pharmaceutical company.
Johnson & Johnson generates about 20% ($1.7 billion) of its $8.5 billion in pharmaceutical sales in emerging markets. The company's overall pharmaceutical operation is larger than Abbott Laboratories, but Abbott generates more sales in emerging markets. Johnson & Johnson generates the bulk of its pharmaceutical revenue in the U.S. and developed markets, while Abbott Laboratories generates more pharmaceutical revenue from emerging markets than anywhere else.
Abbott Laboratories is specifically focused on emerging market growth, and has positioned itself to better benefit from booming emerging market pharmaceutical sales.
Johnson & Johnson vs. Abbott Laboratories: Dividend Fundamentals
Here's how these two giant health care companies compare to each other using Ben Reynold's 8 Rules of Dividend Investing, which rank high quality dividend stocks using fundamental data.
Johnson & Johnson has the longer dividend history, paying increasing dividends for 52 consecutive years vs. 42 consecutive years for Abbott Laboratories. Both companies' long history of consistent dividend increases shows their commitment to rewarding shareholders.

The genetic code of Neanderthal Man has been pieced together from DNA recovered from ancient fossils, providing insights into evolution that promise to reveal many of the genes that make us human.
As Homo neanderthalis is the closest evolutionary cousin of Homo sapiens that has ever existed, comparisons between its genome and those of modern humans and chimpanzees will allow scientists to identify DNA sequences that are unique to our species. Many of these will explain human capabilities that are not shared by other animals, such as complex thought, language and art.

On Tuesday, voters in both Minnesota and Wisconsin will head to the polls to decide which candidates will be on the November ballot.
The primary is not expected to bring in record crowds in either state, but those involved say this is important.
In Wisconsin, the Government Accountability Board predicts only a 15 percent voter turnout next week, which is actually average for a primary election in La Crosse.
Minnesota and Wisconsin have a partisan election, meaning voters only check the box for candidates in one political party. Whether you lean to the left, to the right or try and stay in the middle, if you want to vote for someone in November, the candidate needs voter support in August.
The road to winning an election really begins with the primary.
"It's narrowing the field down," city clerk for La Crosse Teri Lehrke said.
No matter what the race, a candidate must win his or her party's primary election before voters will see that candidate's name on the ballot come November.
"For the public, they are really narrowing down the choices, picking the best candidates so we have better contests in November," political scientist Joe Heim said.
"A primary for me was all about making sure that all Minnesotans had their voice and let them have their choice on Election Day to vote for their candidate, not to vote against anybody else," Minnesota candidate for governor Kurt Zellers said.
New federal law has forced states to hold primary elections in August, which Heim said isn't ideal for voters or candidates.
"It used to be in September, so people would tend to start looking at it at the beginning of September; school days and all that. Now in the summer, people don't pay much attention to campaigns and elections," Heim said.
Heim says even though not many are expected to cast a vote, picking the right candidate in a primary race is extremely important.
"If it's a strong Democrat or strong Republican area, whoever wins the primary is going to win in November," Heim said.
A couple things to remember when you are heading out to the vote next week: If you still need to register, bring with you a proof of residency, like a utility bill, driver's license or lease.
Voters do not need a photo ID to vote.

Securitisation will not get going again without a third wheel
Securitisation, the financial technique that helped bring the world economy to its knees, is losing its stigma. Central bankers are saying nice things about it (the Bank of England's Andrew Haldane called it "a financing vehicle for all seasons") and it is widely viewed as a means to help banks deleverage while simultaneously providing the economy with finance and investors with high-yielding assets. This makes securitisation a potential win-win-win.
But in this crucial year – with the finalisation of three European regulations that will effectively decide the fate of the sector – the competing interests of the three most interested parties (politicians, banks and investors) could derail the rehabilitation. Unless everyone pulls in the right direction, securitisation could remain in the wilderness.
You can understand why the more enlightened politicians and central bankers believe securitisation might be the answer to some of their biggest problems. Many European banks still don't hold enough capital against the loans they make. One way to improve that ratio is to stop issuing loans while they build up capital either by retaining earnings or going to investors for more equity. But this will obviously reduce the supply of credit in the economy.
Transform assets
An alternative would be for them to transform some of the assets with recurring cash flows that would otherwise sit on their balance sheets – such as loans, mortgages and credit-card debt – into new securities that insurers and asset managers can invest in.
This is the mutually beneficial promise held out by securitisation. Asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities and collateralised loan obligations all do essentially the same thing: they provide a vehicle through which a bank can bundle up the loans it has made, sell them on and thus free up capital to make more loans.
The problems come when this technique is abused. Some banks, confident that they would be able to offload mortgages to investors, stopped caring about whether people could repay the loans they were taking out. Investors, hungry for a piece of the action and reassured by what turned out to be useless credit ratings, snapped up supposedly safe assets that were anything but. We all know how the story ended.
Regulators, understandably keen to avoid a repeat of the US sub-prime mortgage-inspired credit crunch, put the whole securitisation market on a leash. But now, more than six years on from the credit crunch, politicians are beginning to recognise that securitisation is pretty useful in and of itself; the problems came when the technique was abused and produced over-engineered assets whose complexity camouflaged their riskiness.
Many securitisations have performed well. The cumulative default rate on European asset-backed securities issued between 2000 and the end of 2012 was just 0.11%, according to Fitch. (This compares with losses of nearly 24% in the US structured credit market.) New rules, such as those that require banks to keep some "skin in the game" by retaining exposure to the securitisation products they sell to investors, should help prevent a repeat of past shenanigans.
Appreciative noise
Hence the more complimentary noises being made by the European Central Bank and the Bank of England, among others. However, these words need to be backed up with action. At the moment, regulations remain punitive – part of the reason, in the words of one market observer, that "European issuance has been bumping along at pretty anaemic levels". Simon Lewis, chief executive of the Association for Financial Markets in Europe, recently pointed out on these pages that issuance of asset-backed securities has actually been shrinking in Europe and was down 28% last year compared with 2012 (which was itself miles off pre-crisis levels).
The financial industry is lobbying the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to consider being more lenient in how it applies its rules for risk-weighted assets to the securitisation products held by banks. It wants the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority to do the same for insurers under Solvency II. Regulators are also being asked to expand the range of securitisation products that can be included in banks' liquidity coverage ratios – the asset cushion they must hold as a buffer in times of difficulty. The fine details are sure to be debated endlessly as these rules are finalised this year.
Derailing fears
What is less frequently discussed is how the competing interests of policymakers, banks and investors could derail the efforts to rehabilitate the European securitisation market. One of the reasons the issuance of residential mortgage-backed securities has fallen in the UK, for example, is that banks have been able to tap the government's Funding for Lending programme.
Securitisation, which already looks expensive thanks to tough regulations, has been made to look even more so relative to a government scheme that seeks to subsidise the UK housing market at the expense of the normal functioning of capital markets. Political expediency appears to be trumping sensible long-term financial planning.
Politicians are also especially excited about the prospect of using securitisation to help provide funding to small and medium-sized businesses that often find it hard to secure bank loans or tap the capital markets. However, these are among the most difficult products for institutional investors to buy because they have to perform due diligence on the individual loans. SME risk is very different from, say, mortgage risk and defaults can rise substantially at certain points in the economic cycle. Yet politicians are emphasising exactly the segment of the market that investors are going to find hardest to get excited about.
Politicians may understandably want to use securitisation to extend credit to the parts of the economy that other financing techniques can't reach. Banks may understandably want to use securitisation to help in their efforts to deleverage. But neither thing is going to happen without the buy-in of investors. It is time to put them at the centre of the thinking about how this important market should be revived.

Ten years after the start of the nation's first publicly funded voucher program in Milwaukee, there are no clear cut research findings to support assertions that vouchers "improve" education and student achievement. In fact, there is very limited meaningful data to be found on existing publicly funded programs. Of the three publicly funded voucher programs in the United States, only Cleveland's has maintained an on-going, state-commissioned evaluation program. The Wisconsin legislature ended state evaluation of the Milwaukee program in 1995 and the Florida legislature has not provided for evaluation of its voucher program. Additionally, none of the private schools in Milwaukee or Florida that receive public money through vouchers are required to test students or report test scores.
Many of the purported findings that do exist on the educational value of voucher programs have been obscured by rhetoric. As one pro-voucher educational consultant in Milwaukee noted in the Wall Street Journal, "Findings are irrelevant unless they make headlines…Headlines and spin are everything."1
Insofar as research on voucher programs does exist, attention has largely focused on the impact on student test scores.2 The following is a brief synopsis of the research findings from studies of publicly funded voucher programs in Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Florida and some privately funded voucher programs and recent research examining the impact, if any, of vouchers on public school test scores in Florida.

Never mind the prevailing wisdom that skiing was invented in Austria or Scandinavia. It was created in western China's Altai Mountains— a range that runs through Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia, and China.
Skis in the Altai are chopped from single pieces of spruce and given tips through a process of repeated heating, bending, and drying. The end result bears a remarkable resemblance to the most innovative designs in today's powder skis: big, fat, and wider underfoot than at the tip and tail.
The story of these skiers was profiled in Warren Miller Entertainment's 2009 film, Dynasty.

There is 16 teams now making the chase instead of 10 to 12.
there wont be 16 winners despite what the so called experts think.
I figure around 12 but no more than 14. So all ryan has to do is make the top 14 in points with zero wins. I would say top 16, but there is a decent chance that 1 to 2 teams that win might be outside of the top 16.
Sitting currently 8th in points & only one team currently outside the top 16 with a win (Good ol' Kurt) Things look just fine for ryan making the chase as of right now. That's not to say he wont win as he is more than capable of doing it, but if they had these win & your in rules before. Ryan would have never missed a chase at all. (even when he didn't win)
So using deductive reasoning & looking at a little history, you would be capable of seeing how these rules has made it easier to make a chase without a win. Not harder.
Its simple logic. Glad I could help paint the picture for you Racer. I am here to help
How dare you try to make sense here?

You need to supply a picture. It depends on the shape of this arm.
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Center of gravity for a shape T both arm are 60mm long and 6mm wide.
2. Relevant equations
dont know the equation but seeing as there is no wieght involved am guessing the formula isnt that hard. a discription of the formula and how to use it would help alot
3. The attempt at a solution
if both arms are 60mm and 6mm wide shouldent the center og gravity be where the to arms connect?
where f(x) is the total height or extent in y direction at point x. The y coordinate is found by changing to y and f(y) and taking the integral along the y-axis.
For a standing T the CoG x-coordinate lies midway(x-wise) of the top bar due to symmetry. Let y=0 be at the bottom point of the T, then the CoG y-coordinate of your T is found through
Thus, for your standing T the center of gravity is located at x=0,y=46.5mm, when the bottom tip of the T is put to (0,0)...
This can probably also be done without integrals by exploiting the geometry of the T...

In Southern Sudan, every aspect of life presents its people with opportunities to move forward together, building the foundation of a new nation. On my recent deployment there to support the U.S. government's work to ensure the region's peaceful transition to an independent country, I learned that even the smallest everyday decisions people make have an impact on the future of Southern Sudan.
The Civilian Response Corps's work supports the U.S. Consulate General in Juba by applying a blend of traditional and expeditionary diplomatic tools to partner with what will become the world's newest nation. Along with other Corps members, I regularly visit the most remote regions of Southern Sudan to expand and develop relationships with everyone from state governors to tribal elders, as well as international partners and civil society organizations, to support the U.S. government's intensified diplomatic and development efforts. In Southern Sudan, this is no easy task. We must fly, drive, and walk in order to arrive at a key meeting -- perhaps with a tribal chief and often under the shade of a tree -- to better grasp the country's many challenges and opportunities.
To help carry out this mission, I spend the majority of my time travelling to three bordering states in Southern Sudan: Unity, Warrap, and Lakes. All three are connected by complex conflict issues such as ever-present cross-border cattle raiding -- a source of income, identity and conflict -- in addition to issues that stem from North-South relations with Khartoum. Part of my job is to understand the most pressing conflict dynamics the states are facing, and report on how these issues might affect U.S. government policy and programs.
For example, fellow Civilian Response Corps members James Patton and Marie Pace and I spent a seven-hour drive over arduous roads accompanied by the Wildlife Police, County Commissioner and the Lakes State's Advisor for Peace and Reconciliation to explore how state authorities are managing its natural resources, which can be a driver of conflict or a tool for economic growth and stabilization, in the Wulu County national park.
In the park, we saw four hippos as well as opportunities for micro-businesses in honey and Shea butter, but perhaps more importantly, the ride allowed us to build a relationship with local officials. We not only discussed how they plan to manage the national park but also explored how they approach security and governance in the country. This is the kind of diplomacy that helps the United States prevent conflict and promote regional stability in complex and fragile environments, such as Southern Sudan, by partnering with local leaders to think through the complex challenges they face. It takes this kind of persistent, face-to-face contact to really gain an understanding of the pivotal issues.
We organized our trip to give the newly appointed county commissioner an opportunity to meet constituents and extend the reach of government. Throughout the tour, he was able to connect directly to the people of Wulu County and give them a chance to connect to their government.
The people of Southern Sudan know that they are at a crucial point in their country's history. The next few months will determine the shape of the world's newest democracy and the fragile peace it promises to a society ravaged by decades of war. While the nation certainly faces many challenges, I was inspired by the resiliency I saw in the Sudanese.

Chinese Agent pushes up cost of development in South Sudan
Transparency International and the NGO, Corruption Watch, both issued statements today expressing their serious concern at the way the cost of much needed developmental projects in South Sudan are being pushed up by a Singaporean agent purportedly acting on behalf of Chinese contractors
The agent identified as Robin Ong, has reportedly negotiated commissions in excess of ten percent of contract value with Chinese contractors including CNOOC which is bidding for a pipeline contract, China State Construction which is bidding for a dam project and several road and bridge projects, China railways which is bidding for rail projects and CAMCE which is bidding for cement plants and agro industries processing units.
These projects total almost two billion US dollars and Ong's commission payments exceed US$ two hundred million. This is money that is being diverted from priority development projects and into the pockets of corrupt officials and politicians in South Sudan.
Ong is reported to have paid for lavish trips to Malaysia and China for the Vice President Riek Machar and the Minister of Mines and Energy Garang Diing. He has also paid for trips to Macau by the Minister of Commerce and Industry, Stephen Dhieu .
In a leaked letter to CNOOC, seen by Corruption watch, Ong states " My partners in S.Sudan, Gen Riek Machar and Gen Tut Deng Yat are two of the most powerful men in the country. Gen Machar, who is the Vice President, will soon be the President, and even now takes all decisions in the Government. I have been mandated by him personally to act as his advisor on all contracts with Asian companies……….â€
Corruption Watch has appealed to The President of South Sudan, Salva Kiir, who has a reputation for not tolerating corruption, to rein in the activities of commission agents who are poisoning the body politic of the soon to be independent country. In a press release today, Jonathan De Mobray, the CEO of Corruption Watch said " at a time when thousands of South Sudanese have no food, water or shelter, it is incredible that ministers in the S.South Sudanese government appear to be actively conniving with an agent to siphon off much needed fundsâ€. He has called upon the US State Department and The Chinese government to thoroughly investigate the activities of Mr.Ong and take appropriate action

Where I stayed
Monastery of the Holy Cross Bed & Breakfast
We did a little dollar store shopping, had lunch in our room, and then went to the Field Museum. It just happened to be "Target Second Tuesday" at the field museum which meant that we got in free of charge courtesy of one of my favourite US stores. What a pleasant surprise.
The Field Museum is huge and features "Sue", the largest and most complete T-Rex skeleton. Lincoln was in awe of Sue and all of the animals.
After the museum we picked up some supper at the grocery store and ate it in our room and were very happy to climb in to comfortable beds for a good nights sleep.

Baseball is back.
It's time to forget about the snow and blistering cold and make way for thoughts of spring training. A warm blast of sunshine hits you in the face, accompanied by the tranquilizing sounds of baseballs cracking bats, popping mitts and clearing fences.
Spring training is here and as clubs begin to prepare for the Grapefruit League with various workouts, the thought finally dawns on you—we're just about a week away from baseball. How in the world can I prepare in time?
Don't worry. We have you covered.
It's been a long offseason in particular for the Philadelphia Phillies, who finished the 2012 season with a disappointing third place finish. They've added some new pieces, however, and surely can't wait to have the opportunity to erase one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history from recent memory.
It all begins with a week's worth of spring training action, which for the sake of this article, we'll classify as games spanning from February 23-March 2. With some of the early spring story lines in mind, watch closely as the Phillies prepare and compete against their early Grapefruit League foes.

Latex International to Acquire Full Ownership of Pure LatexBLISS
September 30, 2011,
SHELTON, Conn.-Latex International, which purchased a 51 percent stake in Pure LatexBLISS last year, has signed a letter of intent to acquire the remainder of the marketer of mattresses, bed pillows and mattress toppers.
Terms of the deal, which was expected to close at about this time, were not disclosed in a Latex International statement. Pure LatexBLISS will thus become a wholly owned subsidiary under Latex International. Kurt Ling and Joe Hunt, co-founders of Pure LatexBLISS, will remain involved in the management of the brand.
Latex International will transition its Rejuvenite line of talalay latex pillows to the Pure LatexBLISS brand as part of its efforts to position the brand for future growth. Dave Fisher, president and CEO of Latex International, said that, aside from adding to the company's brand portfolio, the acquisition is a means to propel latex to the forefront of the specialty-sleep category.

I know, nuts right? However, all this snow means more family time... the hubster home from work and warm cozy family dinners!
I would like to also add that I have been baking, eating, cooking, shoveling, baking, eating, cooking, shoveling! NOT GOOD for the waist line! Honestly though, what else is there to do when you are snowed in! PS... add cocktails by the fire to my list!
Charlotte and the doggies are LOVING all this snow! I am a little worried about the fishies in our pond though... don't think they are loving all the snow!

Masturbation? Drawbacks-Disadvantages-How can we get rid of Masturbation
What is Masturbation-Get Rid of Masturbation :
Masturbation is technique of sex by which male and female get sexual relaxation. A well known term for masturbation is wanking. Different scholars explain it in different ways. Some of them are agree with masturbation and discuss in detailed about its procedure, health benefits, techniques and related material, but most of scholar criticize it and agreed that this way of sexual relaxation is totally unhealthy and can cause different illness or problems that may affects individuals sexual life/marriage life. Some researcher wrote that masturbation is good to release the stress or by doing masturbation people came to know their body awareness. On the other hand many scholars criticized it and explained its affects on individual life i.e. can cause insanity, diseases, hair growth or even an individual may become blind.
An Islamic point of view, scholars define it in a different ways. Most of scholar define it is Haram and unlawful and also consider it unhealthy for individual. According to Imam Malik masturbation is one of those who wish something beyond that, further his judgment about masturbation bases on verse those who guard their sexual organs except with their spouses or those whom their right hands possess, for (with regard to them) they are without blame. But those who crave something beyond that are transgressors.' (Al-Mu'minoon:5-7). Similarly some other Islamic scholar define it in different ways like Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said masturbation; semen as an excretion of the body like other excrete, and permitted its expulsion the same way Bloodletting is permitted. Ibn Hazm holds the same view. However, the Hanbali jurists permit masturbation only under two conditions: first, the fear of committing fornication or adultery, and second, not having the means to marry.

And if he cannot marry, let him observe fasting, for it is a shield against evil (Reported by Muslim)." This is best way to get prevent from masturbation.
Further Islamic scholar advice to adopt following guideline to prevent an individual form masturbation that are; Observing fasting, as it bolsters one's faith, preserves chastity, and protects one from evil thoughts, Avoid to take those eatable things that stimulate your desire for sex and be moderate in eating and drinking in order to avoid stimulating your desire, keep away from movies , love songs, dirty pictures and other sexual content because it stimulate you for sex desire, Always chose good company and avoid those who are in bad company and make yourself busy in worship and spiritual acts like Salaat, reciting Quran, Hadith Sharif,such as Sahih Muslim Sahih Bukhari Islamic speeches and read good books, Avoid to join those parties where men and women brings physically close to each other e.g. university and college dance parties, concerts etc.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Let's not pretend anyone remembers Rod Carew for his glove. The 1973 season represented two firsts for Carew: His first 200-hit season (AL-leading 203) and first time leading the league in triples (11). He also led the AL with a .350 average in winning his second straight batting title.

RUSH: Last night on MSNBC, one of the guests was managing editor Joy-Ann Reid of something called TheGrio.com. I never heard of it, I don't even know why I'm promoting it, but she showed up. They were talking about the Republican primary, the attacks on Romney during his time at Bain Capital, and the host said, "How do you think this is gonna go in South Carolina? You've got high unemployment down there. It's a different dichotomy," whatever the hell that means. What's a "different dichotomy"? These people! I swear, you have people in the media who do not know the definition of words. A dichotomy? It's a "different dichotomy"?
Do you know what a dichotomy is? Do you know what a conundrum is? You know the difference a between a conundrum and a dilemma? A dilemma you have two options; a conundrum is three or more. (interruption) No, I didn't just look it up. I know it! What the hell is this, "It's a different dichotomy in South Carolina. High employment..." Different dichotomy? There's no different dichotomy. Anyway... (interruption) It doesn't "sound good." It might make somebody sound smart only because they think they're using a word people can't define, but for those of us who can define it cements the fact that you're stupid! Anyway, "How do you think it's gonna play down there, Joy-Ann Reid?"
REID: The narrative is being implanted that Mitt Romney's company was a vulture capitalist -- whatever your opinions of capitalism writ large -- and then I think it's forced him in this position where he's parroting the sort of Rush Limbaughisms. "Don't hate me because I'm rich! I'm rich and that's too bad if you're not!" That's not good for him in a general, don't think that stops him from winning, though, among Republican voters in South Carolina.
RUSH: Rush Limbaughisms? So this babe thinks that this is forcing Romney to parrot me? If Romney were parroting me he would have the nomination sewn up! The Rush Limbaughism, "Don't hate me because I'm rich. I'm rich and it's too bad if you're not"? I have not said that. I haven't said that. (interruption) You like that? Well, it may be a good party line. I haven't said that. "Don't hate me because I'm rich?" I don't care if people hate me. In fact, I know that people hate me. I don't care. They're gonna hate me for a whole host of reasons. I think it is too bad that everybody's not rich. But I also think Obama's not the route to that. Obama's not the route to rich for anybody. Here's a montage. Here's how the criticism of Newt has blown up in the evening news. This is a montage NBC, ABC, and a couple of others.
REPORTER: It hasn't helped Perry and Gingrich in the polls much. Both were constant finishers in Iowa and New Hampshire. Nor has it helped win favor with conservative heavyweights like Rush Limbaugh.
RUSH ARCHIVE: I don't care what, you know, folks, the attacks that they mounted on Romney are not defensible.
REPORTER: Because of the attacks, the Romney team has been able to achieve one thing: Rallying support from influential conservatives.
RUSH ARCHIVE: Newt and Perry blew it, the attacks that they mounted on Romney are not defensible.
RUSH: That's NBC Nightly News. That's the NBC Nightly News -- and, this is yesterday Spartanburg, South Carolina. Newt in South Carolina agreeing... Now, we had the report yesterday from The Politico that Newt was walking back his criticism of Bain and Romney. The Politico reported that. Then after Politico reported it, Newt said, "No, I'm not. I'm not walking it back. I'm gonna keep it up!" Here is what led to it all.
MAN: I think you've missed the target on the way you're addressing Romney's weaknesses. I want to beg you to redirect and go after his obvious --
GINGRICH: Yeah.
MAN: -- disingenuousness about his conservatism, and -- and lay off the corporatist versus the free market.
GINGRICH: Meh...
MAN: I think that's nuanced and would like you to go after --
GINGRICH: I agree. I agree with you.
MAN: All right.
GINGRICH: I -- I -- I -- I think that it's an impossible theme to talk about with Obama in the background, and Obama just makes it impossible to talk rationally in that area because he is so -- he is so deeply into class warfare, uh, that automatically you get an echo effect -- which had as a Reagan Republican it frankly never occurred to me until it happened -- so I agree with you entirely.
RUSH: I tell you, this will... (laughing) Yeah, "WTF" big time: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
RUSH: There is some confusion out there on the Gingrich campaign as to how he is going to go forward because, as you heard, he was confronted by a voter in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and the voter gave him a little static. He said, "Why you going after the guy this way? Don't go after Romney this way," and Newt said, "You're right. I'm not gonna go after the guy." In fact, we had this yesterday afternoon. This is The Politico story. It's right here. "Newt Gingrich on Bain Attacks Against Mitt Romney: 'I Crossed the Line,'" and then the subsequent story: "Gingrich on Misleading Media Reports: 'I Never Said I Crossed the Line.'"
So The Politico put a story out at about 2:45 p.m. Eastern yesterday (close to the end of this program, and we reported it) that Newt said he'd crossed the line and we reported it. It was this guy in Spartanburg, South Carolina, who had made Newt realize he was going a little too far. Then Newt comes out and says, "No! I never said I crossed the line, and, furthermore, I'm gonna keep attacking Romney." So we're gonna put this in context in order here. Again, going back to Spartanburg, South Carolina, at a book signing. This is an unidentified guy, although yesterday we had his name, "Gossoloff" or something or some other name. Maybe it's a different guy. If it's a different guy there was the woman that said something to Newt. Anyway, here's that bite again...
(replaying of bite)
RUSH: "As a Reagan Republican, it frankly never occurred to me until it happened." I want to make sure I understand. Is Newt saying it never occurred to him that his criticism of Romney as a capitalist at Bain Capital was the same kind of criticism that Obama and Democrats level against Republicans? He wasn't aware of that until it happened? Is that what he's saying? It may be true, folks. Don't discount it. We think these guys are very smart. We think that they are able to anticipate how what they say is going to be reacted to and used. But it's clear in this sound bite that Newt's saying, "Yeah, you know what? I had no idea that Obama's saying the same stuff! It took me saying it for me to learn that." That's what that means: As a Reagan Republican, frankly, never occurred to me that Obama, the echo effect on class warfare until it happened. "I agree with you entirely," he said to the questioner. Now we move on. Last night On the Record With Greta Van Susteren on the Fox News Channel. She said, "I'm gonna sort of sort out this latest kerfuffle about the Politico headline, which seems to indicate you thought you'd 'crossed the line' in the attack on Governor Romney and Bain, the venture capital firm that he worked for was a partner at; and then I see a statement by your representative which said that that headline's misleading, that you're not backing down on the aggressive attack on Bain Capital. So where are we on this?"
GINGRICH: Well, first of all I'm not attacking Bain Capital. I'm questioning Mitt Romney's judgment; I'm questioning Mitt Romney's decisions. I've raised the question, which I think's a totally legitimate question: What about some companies that Bain took over, uhhh, that went bankrupt? And what I've said is this isn't about free enterprise. This is one of those phony efforts to throw up a smokescreen. This isn't about capitalism. This isn't even about private equity funds. This is about one person who wants to be president of the United States. He owes the country an explanation: Why were certain decisions made, how were they done, what was the consequence of them, does he stand by them in retrospect?
RUSH: Okay. So it is obvious that Newt not backing down in the attack on Romney. Even though he said he agreed with the guy in Spartanburg, South Carolina. So then Greta said, "So, what I understand from what you said is, you're not anti-venture capitalism, that you're pro-capitalism. So let me ask you this: At what point is it sort of fair to sort of clamp down on venture capitalism? Is there a point where there is abuse and it's not just sort of open season for venture capitalists to do whatever they want?"
GINGRICH: Well, I think there's always, uhh, some boundaries of free-market behavior that you watch and you check. If Governor Romney thinks there's nothing there, then he ought to just hold a press conference, walk the news media through it, explain how it was done, let people see it. But I find it strange that they are so sensitive on this issue that they've sort of pushed the panic button. But -- but -- but -- but understand me: This is not about free enterprise. This is about the character, values and judgment of a particular person who is running for president of the United States.
RUSH: Okay. So I get the walk-back now. What Newt's trying to do here is walk back his indictment of capitalism, and he's trying to focus it on Romney as a mean guy. He's trying to get everybody focused like a laser on the idea that Romney is a cold-hearted, mean-spirited, heartless SOB who doesn't care who gets hurt as long as he profits. That's how I read this. He said "character." He said, "We gotta look at the character, the values and judgment of a particular person who's running for president." He did. Character. That's what Newt said, "character values and judgment particular person." He's walking back this whole notion that he's talking about capitalism and Bain.
That's right. He wants to talk about the character and values and judgment of a particular person. I assume he doesn't mean himself. No, he doesn't mean himself. He's talking about Romney here. "It's about the character, values, and judgment of a particular person who's running for the president of the United States." That's the "character, values and judgment" of Mitt Romney. That's what he's trying to say. Now, we move to this morning on Fox & Friends. Guest, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani. Steve Doocy, the weather guy, said, "You pick up the phone as soon as you're done and you say to Newt what?"
GIULIANI: What the hell you doing, Newt? You believe what...? I expect this from Saul Alinsky, Newt! This is what Saul Alinsky taught Barack Obama, and the stuff you're saying is one of the reasons we're in the trouble we're in right now. This total, ignorant, populist view of the economy that was proven to be incorrect with the Soviet Union, with Chinese communism. I'm gonna tell you this: My emotional inclination is to support a Gingrich or a Perry or a Santorum.
DOOCY: And you've been on this program doing that.
GIULIANI: I like their version of more consistent, long-term conservatism as opposed to Mitt, but what they're doing to Mitt now is totally absolutely unfair and bad for the Republican Party.
RUSH: See, this is fascinating. (chuckles) You know what Rudy's really ticked about here? He doesn't like Romney, just like none of the other guys in 2008 liked Romney. Huckabee didn't like Romney, McCain didn't like Romney, Giuliani didn't like Romney. He's gotta defend Romney! They didn't like Romney in 2008. None of them liked Romney. But because of what Newt and Perry are doing, Giuliani's gotta defend Romney, which he doesn't want to do. (paraphrasing) "What are you doing Newt? For crying out loud, I would rather be supporting you or Perry or Santorum, but, my God, we've gotta save capitalism here. We got a Marxist in the White House. We got somebody trying to destroy the country, and you sound just like him. We've gotta defend the American way of life here, and that means we gotta defend Romney," and that ticks us off. That's what's bugging people.
And that's why Beckel and the boys are rubbing their hands together in glee because they want Romney as the nominee. And now all these Republican big names, they're even saying that about me. Some of the salivating on the Drive-By Me, the cable shows: "Limbaugh Forced to Defend Romney." And in Giuliani's case it's very clear here, you listen to that bite the way I listened to the bite, Giuliani does not want to defend Romney. But Newt is forcing him into it, in a secondhand way. What Giuliani is saying he's gotta defend is capitalism and the American way of life.
Now, let's keep going. Sarah Palin. I was not watching cable news last night, and I got a text message from a good friend of mine, Mr. Hawaii, Mike Hartley. He has been hoping since two years ago that Sarah Palin would run for president. Mike has been just constantly peppering me. "You gotta do what you can. She's gotta run. She's the only hope, Rush, you gotta do everything you can." I said, "Mike, I don't know her, I can't do anything about it." "You gotta, you gotta," and when she got out of the race he was devastated. Handicap went from a 24 to a 30 overnight. And so he texted me last night, he watched Palin on Hannity and he texted me and I read the text message and his tongue is hanging out, (panting) "Did you hear that? She's gonna get back in? Oh, God, did you hear that?" I had to write back, "I'm sorry, I didn't see it, but Mike, I know nobody as skilled as you at intuiting the intentions of women, so I have to say she might be thinking about it if that's what you thought."
We've got the sound bites of Palin. Well, we've got one sound bite of Palin. Hannity says, "Newt has backed off his criticism of Bain." No, Sean, he didn't. Okay, Hannity says, "Newt has backed off his criticism of Bain, but I had Governor Perry on the program last night, he's doubled down, vulture capitalist, taking advantage of these companies in their hour of need. You know, just turn a quick profit. What do you think of those attacks in particular, Governor Palin? Is that where, if you were running a campaign, would that be your line against Governor Romney? Are they making a mistake? Are they attacking the fundamentals of conservatism, which is we support capitalism?"
PALIN: I don't believe that that's really what is at the heart of Governor Perry's criticism of Romney and his time at Bain. Governor Romney has claimed to have created a hundred thousand jobs at Bain, and, you know, people are wanting to know is there proof of that claim. Nobody should be surprised that things about Bain Capital and maybe tax returns not being released yet and maybe some, you know, records not being as transparently provided to the public as voters deserve to see right now. Don't be surprised that that's all coming out today because it would come out as an October Surprise had these GOP candidates not brought those out today.
RUSH: Whoa! The mama mayor, the mama bear wants Mitt's tax returns! The way I heard that is, she wants Perry to rally. She's not gonna dump on Rick Perry. I don't think that's the heart of Governor Perry's criticism of Romney and his time at Bain, but if he's gonna run out there and say he created a hundred thousand jobs, let's see the tax returns. Let's see the proof. Whoa. I'll tell you, folks, isn't it obvious, 2008, 2012, on the Republican side in the universe of potential presidential nominees there's not a whole lot of love for Romney. That's fascinating.
RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number 27. By the way, on Hannity last night, Sarah Palin went out of the way not to endorse Newt. "Well, wait a minute, your husband, Todd Palin out there, he endorsed Newt." She said, "Todd went rogue." Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Todd went rogue. (laughing) Those of you who aren't married may not get the significance of that. I remember back in one of the early Republican debates, I think it was Byron York, asked Michele Bachmann a question. "If you happened to be elected president, would you submit to your husband?" Because she is a devout believer in the Word of God-d, and the literal translationists believe that women are to subordinate themselves. "Would you submit to your husband, even as president?" Meaning, would your husband really be running the show?
Now, I think that question is a little unfortunate, but imagine if it were asked of Sarah Palin? (laughing) "Would you submit to your husband?" (laughing) The first dude, the first dude went rogue. That's exactly what her quote was. The first dude went rogue. (laughing) I don't know. Snerdley asked me during the break, "How do they put this back together with this much enmity, with this --" (interruption) No, Bachmann's not submissive at all. She's not a wallflower. But, you know, when this is all over and there is a nominee, how do you get 'em all on stage standing there arms linked, hands together? How do you do it after this? 'Cause this is descending into being vicious now. Whereas the anger originally was pretty much focused on Romney, now it's focused at Newt and Perry, with the existing anger at Romney still there. Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, interviewed Rick Tyler, the super PAC senior adviser of Newt's. And during a discussion about the negative attack ads that Newt's super PAC is running against Romney, Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, and Rick Tyler had this 22-second tete-a-tete.
MITCHELL: You've got Rush Limbaugh, you've got Club for Growth, calling it disgusting. Do you not worry that you're helping to reelect Barack Obama, which, from your perspective, would not be a good thing?
TYLER: Oh, Andrea, do you think for a moment that Axelrod doesn't know 20 times what I know about Mitt at Bain Capital? And then, remember, we didn't run any ads 'til yesterday. They're gonna have a billion dollars.
RUSH: All right. In fairness, that was not the question. The question is, "Why are you doing what Obama is gonna do?" You're doing Obama's work for him, that was her question. She's not upset, don't misunderstand, she's excited. They all think that this is gonna pave the way for Obama's reelection. (interruption) No. I told Snerdley that they'll just pay 'em off. Money speaks. That's what Washington's all about. They'll pay 'em all off and they'll end up on stage together with total unity. It will happen. Don't worry about it.

'Survivor: Philippines' 2012 – What This Tribe Needs Is Cookies!
Week Two, and Matsang's Russell's already admitting that he almost passed out from the tension at last week's Tribal Council, where crazy Zane claimed responsibility for everything bad that's ever happened to anyone at any time in the history of Survivor. Zane was sent home, natch, but Russell learned that telling yourself not to act bossy didn't necessarily mean you could stop yourself from being bossy when the games begin.
Now Matsang is down to five players, while the two other teams, Kalabaw and Tandang, remain at six players each.
Rain has fallen almost non-stop during the first six days, and the Survivors are cold and damp, especially at night. At Matsang, Angie takes matters into her own hands, snuggling up to Malcolm to keep warm. Malcolm doesn't have a problem with cuddling a cute blonde, but onlooker Roxy, the Seminary student, is shocked and angered. "Angie is literally the 'booby trap' and Malcolm is falling for it," she decides. "Those two are dangerous together. One has got to go, period."
Roxy takes her worries to Russell and Denise, warning them that Angie and Malcolm are becoming an allied pair, and so must be split up. Malcolm has value, but Angie just needs to be voted out. "I'm hearing moans, and cuddling, and all that stuff, "she tells Denise.
Roxy has another problem – the constant rain is sapping her energy. "I'm not in my comfort zone at all," she says, which is a strange thing to expect from a game like Survivor. The others are resigned to making the best of the situation, but Roxy is taking the weather personally. "I haven't had a good night's sleep since I've gotten here, and, to be in a place where you literally have nothing – none of your friends, none of your family, you don't have your church …" Roxy's not one to suffer in silence, so Russell and the other players try to cheer her up. When the sun finally comes out, Roxy relaxes on the beach, thanking God for the fine weather, first in English, and then in 'tongues.'
At Tandang, they are miserable as well. But while checking the rice for mould, RC finds a clue to the hidden Immunity Idol. When Abi spots RC trying to read the clue, RC lets Abi share the discovery. Best friends forever, right? Nope – Abi has serious jealousy issues when she sees RC talking to Mike about yet another 'accidental' wound he's given himself. She warns RC, "I am your friend, but if you f--- with me, you're dead. Seriously. You are done. Just letting you know."
Lisa, on the other hand, is feeling alone and unwanted. She's always struggled with shyness, and doesn't have much in common with the younger players. She's been taking solitary walks, further distancing herself, as the others assume she's searching for the hidden idol. In reality, she's wondering if she's fitting in.
Kalabaw's Jeff may be struggling with the rain and his injured knee, but he's a pro, who's waited out worse times in his 17 year baseball career. While Jeff and the younger tribe members make a sand and stone checker board, Jonathan searches for the hidden idol. Jon's delighted when the others opt to visit a nearby cave, which allows him to search the camp. He realizes that the idol is actually on the top of the rice container, and is exhilarated with the find.
