POLICE are reminding people not to leave cars unattended to defrost, following the theft of a vehicle in Lickey yesterday morning, (February 5).
The light blue, five-door Polo - registration FV60 RFJ - was taken from outside a house in Monument Lane at about 6.45am, when it was left with the keys in the ignition for a short time.
Police want to hear from anyone who saw the car being driven away or anyone acting suspiciously in Monument Lane at around that time.
One of the householders, who is not being named, said: "While de-icing the car my wife went to get some warm water to put on the windscreen. She was only in the house for a few minutes when it was taken.
"The house can't be seen from the road and from footprints in the snow it would appear that the thieves were hiding behind some bushes nearby, so it looks like they were just waiting for the opportunity."
A woman's purse was left in the car and bank cards had to be cancelled after the incident, while locks to the property have also been changed.
During the recent cold spell officers carried out daily morning patrols looking for vehicles left vulnerable to theft while de-icing outside homes.
They regularly handed keys back to the owners and gave them advice after finding cars unattended with the engine running.
PC Greg Palmer said: "Unfortunately we have cars stolen in these circumstances every winter and it's really important that as many people as possible are made aware of the fact this can and does happen."
Anyone who sees the VW Polo, or has any information about the theft, is asked to call PC Palmer at Rubery Police Station on non-emergency number 101, quoting incident reference 47-S-050213.
Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The Georgian Grande
"Blending the graceful elegance of the Saddlebred with the size, bone and mind
of the Friesian and, or Draft." (IGGHR)
Many breeds can be considered to carry themselves with class and presence. Few,
however, can combine these traits with a noble and seemingly superior air of
distinction. It is hard to put into words just how these magnificent horses
portray and carry themselves, something that is visually understood easier than
The Georgian Grande breed came into being because of one man's vision. This man,
George Wagner Jr., wanted to create a perfect blending of Saddlebreds with a
heavier horse, drafts or Friesians. The breed name 'Georgian Grande' is, quite
simply, "George's Great Horse." The result of Wagner's careful breeding on his
Ohio farm has resulted in a heavier boned or 'Baroque' type of Saddlebred style
horse that achieves the highest standard of encompassing the best attributes of
the parents. This new breed of horse is starting to capture the attention of
breeders across the globe. There are Saddlebreds gaining more exposure in the
competitive sport world and it would not be surprising to see the Georgian
Grande following very closely on their heels. Their head turning presence,
levelheaded disposition and excellent attitude makes these horses ideal for many
different disciplines.
In order for a horse to qualify for registration as a Georgian Grande the
foundation breeding must include between 25-75% of a registered Saddlebred, no
more and no less. The remaining percentage of the breed must include any one of
the following; Friesian, Shire, Belgian, Gypsy Vanner, Irish Draught,
Clydesdale, Percheron, or Drum Horse. All horses used for breeding a Georgian
Grande must be registered within their own registry and proof of this
registration is required. An important fact to note is that only Saddlebred
horses may be used as the 'light horse' component in the Georgian Grande breed.
Therefore, as an example, a Quarter horse or Thoroughbred crossed with a Draft
or Friesian would not qualify.
The Georgian Grande horse should exude an overall beautiful, flowing movement
that shows lots of suspension and impulsion. Their hind foot should hit the
ground slightly before the front foot on the opposite side as known as Diagonal
Advanced Positioning (DAP). The front feet need to move straight ahead and not
wing or paddle to the side. Overall the horse should have good swing to the
hips, giving an impression of marching.
"A Georgian Grande must be well proportioned and have good muscle tone.
Feathering is acceptable but not required. The height can range from 15.2hh –
17+hh. They can weight anywhere from 1,000 – 1,400 lbs. The head should be well
shaped with a broad and flat forehead. Eyes can be any color and should be
large, expressive and wide set. The ears will be expressive, attractive and
alert. The neck is a key feature of the breed and should appear long, nicely
muscled, well arched and flexed at the poll. Georgian Grande horses should all
have a nice, clean throatlatch. The back should be short and strong.
Hindquarters should be well muscled. Any color of horse for coat color is
acceptable." (IGGHR).
The Georgian Grande is very gentle and calm making them an ideal horse for many
people in various disciplines. They are large and powerful, yet their gentle and
submissive nature is what makes them a wonderful companion. Their intelligence,
willingness and alertness make them easy to train and versatile.
Present Day
Georgian Grande's are still gaining recognition in the horse world. However,
there are quite a few that can be found in many different disciplines and are
excelling in areas such as; dressage, jumping, driving, eventing and on trails.
Some are even being used as police horses because of their calm and levelheaded

With Windows versions newer than XP, if you have a partition on the CF

UnNews:Mosque Dome Collapses
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Mosque Dome Collapses
UnFair and UnBalanced
Friday, July 28, 2017, 17:06:59 (UTC)
• Newsroom • Audio (staff) • Foolitzer Prize
• Indexes • Random story
In an unprecedented development in International Radical Al Qaeda (IRAQ®), the famous Al Askari Mosque in Samarra has suffered severe structural damage and collapsed. Four Men, believed to be chartered surveyors, entered the building shortly before the collapse, and have not been seen since. The head of the department of Religious Affairs and Secretarian Violence, also the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Atkinson, has called for peace and a week of minute silences, broken up with tedious and boring prayers. Analysts are sure that the collapse will trigger violence between sunny and shi-ite weather factions.
edit "Tensions strained like a fat man sitting in a hammock"
Immediately after the collapse, of which the cause has been left to be discussed below [sic], uncannily timed attacks on Sunni mosques, homes and gardening centres occurred, killing thousands in what has been called the worst case of genocide since Tony Blair lead the British to IRAQ. Cars have spontaneously combusted, factories become jammed, computers report error messages and most of all, policemen start using
prisoners pensioners as target practice. Secretarian violence has broken out, with both the Secretary to the Secretary in Charge of Secretarian Affairs and the Secretary in Charge of Secretarian Affairs being killed by a mob of anti-bureaucracy protestors.
edit "Went down faster than a teenager on ecstasy"
Several people have been accused as the assailants. These include:
- Insurgeons
- Oprah
- Insurgents
- George Bush & Tony Blair
- Florida
- Hercule Poirot
- Minitrue
- Bill Gates
However, investigators have pointed the finger at...none other than the most dangerous of all educated persons...Chartered Surveyors! (Cue Spooky music). It is now widely accepted that only people of superior intellect could have performed such a difficult task. As a result, large amounts of surveyors world wide have been attacked or robbed, and the famous painting of Sir Selfridges, the renowed Surveyor, has been stolen from its home in the Bahamas.
It is with great trouble that I humbly submit to you this report, Yours Truthfully, Sir Humphrey William Arthur Davemport QC Esq. KBE, TBE, LBE, Titanium Hip Replacement. Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs and Culture to the High Ambassador in IRAQ.

Dating can be a terrifying business. To help quash fears and minimise risk, some people draw up their own rules of engagement.
From "must have head" to "must never leave socks on during sex", these dating dogmas are observed with varying degrees of discipline.
But what happens when you meet someone who fits your criteria, only to discover they've inked a reject stamp across your keen and willing brow?
Aren't rules supposed to be broken?
I remember being more than perturbed when a 'gentleman' once knocked back my advances on the pretence he "didn't date women taller than him".
I had to admire the frank nature of his rejection, indeed his bravado somewhat enhanced his appeal, but I couldn't believe he was serious – was he?
Risking further hurt and potential embarrassment, I proceeded to question his position on stature, determined to uncover the reality I believed he hadn't revealed.
First the obvious, was he seeing someone else? (Nope). Perhaps he was married? (Nuh-uh).
I sensed continuing in this vein would make things awkward so attempted to make light of the situation.
"So is a disparity in height the only measurement you've got to worry about?"
He didn't get the innuendo (my interest was fading fast), proceeding instead to regale me with a long list of other dating dos and don'ts he'd concocted.
At the end of his diatribe, regretting ever so slightly I'd caught his eye, I couldn't help but inquire as to his motivations.
Why, I wondered, did he have this need for narrowness? Did restricting his field yield better results?
Mr Man explained his rule-book came about after a string of serial disappointments. He now knew what he liked and didn't see a reason to deviate.
He didn't care that he was missing out on anything because anything not on his list wasn't worth worrying about.
Indeed, when it came down to it, Mr Man said he didn't mind if he never found his 'perfect woman' – if she's not right, how could our relationship ever be?
I left with mixed feelings.
What if, I thought, we - hypothetically speaking - were actually 'meant' to be together? His very particular requirements would stand as an impregnable, perpetual bulwark. Surely, we should be more flexible than this?
But then again, I was glad to know exactly where I stood with him – it was refreshing not to have what he perceived to be our incompatibility revealed at a later date.
Certainly, I could never be with anyone who was so superficial as to judge so profoundly on unalterable physical characteristics … however, it would be false to pretend physicality didn't play into attraction.
In hindsight, I've come to the conclusion that while it's good to define what you like and what you don't like, it's more important to understand why.
In this way, you can have your rules – and know when they can, and should, be broken.
But that's me – what about you? Do you have dating rule-book? Or are you utterly laissez-faire? And why?

New Intruders Trailer Hits The Web
Monster monster!
The full trailer for Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's Intruders has made its way online and gives another impressively chilling taster of the Spanish filmmaker's new horror. The promo spot gives a much clearer sense of the film's London and Spanish settings than the earlier teaser but offers a similar sense of deep unease.
There are one or two haunted house staples in there - specifically the clash of believer (Clive Owen's husband) and agnostic (wife Carice van Houten), and the scared-witless child who's raised the alarm - but Fresnadillo's sure touch for jumpshocks (see also: 28 Weeks Later) looks likely to guide us quickly out of any kind of comfort zone.
There are parallels with the Guillermo del Toro-produced Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, right down to that bedsheet reveal, but Intruders throws in an intriguing new angle: the nastiness is plaguing not just Owen's London house but a family living in a Spanish farmhouse. What connects them? Check out the trailer below and give us your best guess below.
brightcove.createExperiences();Intruders is out on January 27, 2012.

Written by Brittany Vickers, editorial intern
Olympian Jennie Finch wants to inspire you to step up your game. (Photo courtesy of the American Heart Association)
Do you think you could burn a billion calories? You might need a little help–but the American Heart Association (AHA) has you covered.
With over 300 scheduled Heart Walks taking place in 2012, the AHA is determined to help Americans on the path to collectively burn more than one billion calories before 2020. The national campaign is called the Billion Calorie Count-UP, and leading the way alongside the AHA is Olympic softball gold medalist Jennie Finch.
"As an athlete I know how important being fit is," Finch told FITNESS in an exclusive interview during the official kick-off event. "I also know how much motivation it takes to stay fit!"
Now retired from softball, Finch has a new role as a mother of two boys. She has had to find different incentives to stay healthy and active since hanging up her mitt. "Working out used to be my job. Now it's my priority," she says.
The AHA aims to help Americans walk towards a healthier life. The president-elect of the AHA, Donna Arnett, shared some sad stats about America's current fitness state.
"Heart disease is so preventable," Arnett says. "If you make it to 50 years old and you have a normal blood sugar and cholesterol level your chance of heart disease is five percent. Only one percent of our population fits into that category."
So the AHA has its sites set on improving America's overall health and heart disease prevention by 20 percent by 2020! And it all starts with a simple 30-minute walk per day. It's not always easy to get started, but as Jennie told us, when you have a team to work with it suddenly becomes much easier. After running her first marathon she raved about the success of a running group.
Having a finish line or goal to work toward, and someone to work toward it with, can create a level of fun to the challenge of being healthy. The AHA is organizing walking groups and community walking paths across the country for anyone who's looking to join! Head to the website, heart.org, to find a heart walk, trail or group in your area.

At a press conference on Japan on Thursday, Barack Hussein Obama agreed to take one final question and was asked about Hillary Clinton's personal emails investigation.
According to Western Journalism, a reporter asked Obama, "Just yesterday we saw the State Department's inspector general put out a report about Secretary Clinton's emails. And it basically undermines what she said about her email practices. I'm wondering if you think that undermines her trustworthiness with the American people? And, if you agree with Bernie Sanders, that she should release the transcripts of her highly paid speeches to Wall Street?"
Obama awkwardly responded by trying to use his charm to dodge the question.
"You know, I take it back — I'm not taking another question," he said. "We're in Japan, don't you have something to do with Asia that we want to talk about? I'll be talking about this in Washington the whole time."
He then spun the question by talking about how candidates say things to get votes and touching on a Supreme Court nomination confirmation, saying "The noise that is going back and forth between the candidates at this point … if you want insights into how they're thinking about it, those should be directed to them."
Obama refused to make any comment on the fact that Clinton's public comments conflict with the State Department's own internal investigation into her private email server. With this ridiculous footage, Obama has made it clear that he has no intention of criticizing Clinton, even though it's obvious to the entire world that she is a criminal.

Data center developer DuPont Fabros Technology (DFT) has gained access to an additional $15 million in funding through an expansion of an existing credit line. The company said Tuesday that it has used an "accordion" feature of its unsecured revolving credit facility to increase the current borrowing amount from $85 million to $100 million. Other key terms of the credit facility, which expires in May 2013, remain unchanged. DuPont Fabros hasn't yet done any borrowing through the facility.
"We are pleased to have expanded the facility and filled the accordion," said Mark Wetzel, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of DuPont Fabros. "The additional capital capacity provides the financial flexibility to fund the future growth for the company."
The credit line was part of a May funding announcement, along with a secondary stock offering. The funding will allow the data center REIT to complete huge projects in Virginia and Silicon Valley.

It's a pity that this, the final video from The Hipwaders' A Kindie Christmas album, came out so close to Christmas that it didn't necessarily attract a lot of pre-Christmas attention. Because the video for "Yes, It's Christmas" is the best of the bunch. Dig the band in animated Victorian gear.

The song's performed by Richard Hell (Television and a solo career, primarily), and although the song's pushing 30 years old at this point, I'm guessing this version is from his new Destiny Street Repaired release. Really, though, it's about 10 months too late, as the animation (and song) is just about perfect for Halloween... Richard Hell and the Voidoids - "The Kid with the Replaceable Head" [YouTube]
Interview: Dean Jones (Dog on Fleas)
Dean Jones is a busy man. Member of the great and earthy kids band Dog On Fleas, he's also got a solo career in his own right (witness the excellent lullaby disk Napper's Delight), produces others' disks (the upcoming album from Uncle Rock), and sometimes plays with the Felice Brothers. (He also sometimes plays "John Lemon" to his son's Paul McCartney -- see picture to left.) In spite of Jones' many obligations, he still had time to answer a few questions about his musical background, what it was like to record his new album Rock Paper Scissors with the Felice Brothers, and his favorite instruments. Zooglobble: What are your earliest musical memories? What are your memories of learning to play and sing music? Dean Jones: I come from a pretty musical family. There was always someone playing the piano, and I remember fighting for my chance to make some noise on it. My Mom used to sing to me when I was little, and sometimes now I hear some random song and a memory floods back to me of her singing it to me. My brother (11 years older) was my biggest musical influence. He played a lot of boogie woogie on the piano, as well as the Beatles, the Band, and that kind of thing. I used to hide in the closet when he got home from school and listen to him play. We listened to a lot of great music around the house too, from the Esso Trinidad Steel Band to Bach to Ella Fitzgerald. My brother took me to see Ella and she kissed me on the cheek! When did you decide to become a musician?
Video: "Freight Train" - Elizabeth Cotten
Imagine, if you will, Mick Jagger performing "Satisfaction" at John Lennon's house, where John and Yoko record him for posterity. This is the kids' music equivalent. Elizabeth Cotten performing "Freight Train" at Pete and Toshi Seeger's house, as recorded by the Seegers. The sound quality isn't the best, and I've noted this clip before, but now it's been posted to YouTube. Given how little video we have of the early days of recorded family music, this is quite valuable. (Not to mention a great song.) Elizabeth Cotten - "Freight Train" [YouTube]

Sibling rivals
I am a mum of 2. The girl is 3 while the boy is 2 years old. They're both cheerful and bubbly but my problem is that they always fight in almost everything; food, toys, even mine and my husband's attention. I'm afraid they will grow up on this. I and my husband are giving them equal love and care as best as we could so that none of them would feel neglected. But still, there is rivalry between them. What should I do to avoid this? Is there any method or ways I can do to stop them from always fighting?

Politicians in big cities talk about jobs, but by keeping taxes, fees and regulatory barriers high they discourage the creation of jobs, at least in the private sector. A business in San Francisco or Los Angeles never knows what bizarre new cost will be imposed by city hall. In New York or Boston you can thrive as a nonprofit executive, high-end consultant or financier, but if you are the owner of a business that wants to grow, you're out of luck, says Joel Kotkin, the Chapman University presidential fellow in urban futures.
Houston, however, has kept the cost of government low while investing in ports, airports, roads, transit and schools. A person or business moving there gets an immediate raise through lower taxes and cheaper real estate. Houston is just better at nurturing jobs, says Kotkin.
For example:
- Last year Houston added 141,000 residents, more than any region in the United States save the city's similarly sprawling rival, Dallas-Fort Worth.
- Over the past decade, Houston's population has grown by 24 percent -- five times the rate of San Francisco, Boston and New York.
- In that time, it has attracted 244,000 new residents from other parts of the United States, while older cities experienced high rates of out-migration.
- It is even catching up on foreign immigration, enjoying a rate comparable with New York's and roughly 50 percent higher than that of Boston or Chicago.
- Between 2000 and 2009, Houston's employment grew by 260,000; greater New York City -- with nearly three times the population of Houston -- has added only 96,000 jobs.
- In contrast, the Chicago area has lost 258,000 jobs, San Francisco 217,000, Los Angeles 168,000 and Boston 100,004.
Houston, perhaps more than any city in the advanced industrial world, epitomizes the René Descartes ideal -- applied to the 17th century entrepreneurial hotbed of Amsterdam -- of a great city offering "an inventory of the possible" to longtime residents and newcomers alike. This, more than anything, promises to give Houstonites the future, says Kotkin.

(Video) Drake Explains Why He Is Addicted To Success
Award winning Rapper and Actor, Aubrey "Drake" Graham recently shared his insight on becoming successful and what it takes to be a high achiever in the music industry.
Not only is Drake doing very well in the music industry, Drake recently featured as an actor in Will Ferrel's "Anchorman 2" and has just earned the titled of "Global Ambassador" for the Toronto Raptors NBA Team.
Drake shares his experiences with CBC Radio's Jian Ghomeshi on his addiction to success, the importance of winning and what he's sacrificed to get there.
Drake – What It Takes To Be Successful
Drake build a family with me for all those who do not have a family or solid ground. There is a song here to kick off ! Single Mothers Prayer
Another Inspiring Video. Drake has definitely worked hard to get to where he is today and no wonder he is addicted to success. Thanks for sharing!
I can feel where he is coming from. It seems like he's intentionally being "vague" in his answers. I agree with shooting for more money because its the hunger that drives us. It's the ability to do more and reach for more and accomplish more that makes the difference. Especially when you've reached certain heights.
I grew up watching Michael Jordan and he went through something similar where he said he only competes with himself. It's about getting better and better and competing with yourself.
just another untalented wannabee. His interview was like listening to a 6 year old – "when I grow up…….." and he makes money from people who are more idiotic that he is. So he's pretty clever actually!!!!!
Most of these famous artists these days are just actors. They write good lyrics yeah but they cant back it up on an interview.. They r not very clever at all, they don't now where their strength are etc etc example, 2 Pac on a live interview, you will feel and see his intelligence, the same you hear in his music. I m not comparing them to 2 pac b ut they compare themselves with everyone coz they always say i am the best, I am the greatest bla bla bla…
I liked how he didn't take more than 1 week off after finishing his album… He needed to get back to work… Reminds me to a lot of the things Eric Thomas says
"Why do you care about success"
Drake – "Im just ADDICTED TO IT"!
I have to disagree on this interview with Drake. Real success is not defined in numbers or in how much you win. Real success is defined in how much you lose and how you bounce back from the loss. How you lead and display your character determines a real successful leader, not money. Rap fans even rappers themselves would disagree with me on this, but you can't keep rapping about negative things and still be seen as a positive role model, it's counter productive. Inventing something, wanting to start a legit business, now that is the best thing I heard him say.
Like or dislike his answer, its his answer. Just finish going through 100 affirmations of a winner, one key thing is to not criticise others. Thats his now thought, we may see out of a different eye and he will as he evolves.
As a huge Drake fan, I found his answers (in this excerpt of the 1 hour long interview) to be a bit 'empty'. I would've expected some better answers from him. It didn't sound like he really knew what to say or why exactly he was working so hard. Would've expected a better formulated answer..
I agree, I thought the same exact thing.

FORT HOOD — In just 10 months, the Fort Hood Red Cross has exceeded the total number of volunteer hours in the previous fiscal year, Mary Basiliere, station manager, said during a volunteer appreciation dinner Monday.
Since July, 234 volunteers have donated 31,483 hours through the on-post Red Cross — helping at the hospital, with the Warrior Transition Brigade, deployments and disasters such as the explosion in West and the hurricane in the Northeast.
"We keep getting even busier and there's no slowing down in sight," Basiliere said during the event at the Phantom Warrior Center.
Kenya Andrews, spouse of a retired service member, was honored as the longest-serving volunteer with 37 years at the Red Cross. She started as a candy striper, bringing cheer to hospital patients, and now teaches health and safety classes.
"I teach everything for four-legged family members to soon-to-be family members," she said. "I enjoy hearing back from my students that they used the training and how it helped them in an emergency situation."
Garrison commander Col. Matt Elledge, the guest speaker, said he was honored to show appreciation for the Red Cross volunteers.
"You, the volunteers, you are the game changers," he said. "You're the hope that allows people to pick themselves up and dust themselves off and I thank you."

Dr. Ahn, I have been seeing for almost twenty years. This is not your normal doctor. He is brilliant, always on time, always takes your calls, truly cares for his patients. The day I was referred to him was one of the kindest actions, anyone has ever done for me. He has helped many people that I personally know, and we all know he is the BEST!!! CC
Highly recommended and I now know why!! Dr. Ahn truly cares. He's punctual, thorough, friendly and professional. I never wait. He makes himself available and responds to all my inquiries. He is extemely competant.
Dr. Ahn is the best endocrinologist I have visited. He is thorough and really knows his stuff. He is considerate, listens, takes time to understand your individual issues, and best of all, he is responsive! He is not a "no news is good news" kind of doctor. From a treatment plan perspective, he seems to follow the taking it slowly but surely direction. He is careful with prescriptions and urged me to let him know how I took to the new meds. All in all, he makes the time to let you know that your health is his #1 concern.
terrific demeanor. takes blood himself. seems to always have enough time to answer reasonable questions.
An amazing Physician and an amazing man. Honest, thorough, caring, a great diagnostician and incredibly knowledgable. I can't recommend him highly enough.
Dr. Ahn is not only an edocrinologist, but he is also a general physician. He is calm and very knowledgeable. He is very hands on, even taking your blood pressure and drawing blood himself.

Updated 3:19 p.m. ET
Rick Santorum claimed victory in the Iowa caucuses, after the certified vote count released this morning showed him with a 34-vote edge over Mitt Romney.
But votes missing from eight precincts means it is impossible to know who really won the political event that every four years kicks off the presidential nominating season.
"Just as I did on the early morning hours on Jan. 4, I congratulate Sen. Santorum and Gov. Romney on a hard-fought effort during the closest contest in caucus history," Iowa Republican Party Chairman Matt Strawn said in a statement, which did not declare a winner.
The Iowa Republican Party this morning posted the certified results from the Jan. 3 vote, which were first reported by the Des Moines Register.
Romney called Santorum this morning to concede the Iowa caucuses, The New York Times reported, citing an unnamed Santorum spokesman.
The outcome means Romney can no longer be considered the first non-incumbent Republican to win both the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary -- but it doesn't change the big-picture narrative of the GOP primary. Romney is leading in national polls on the GOP nomination, but his lead in South Carolina has tightened.
While Santorum is declaring himself the winner in Iowa, political observers say the loser could be the Iowa caucuses.
"This underscores the amateur and volunteer nature of the way the caucuses are run," said Dennis Goldford, a political scientist at Drake University in Des Moines.
"Amateur can be fine but amateurism is something else," he said in a telephone interview with USA TODAY. "The caucuses are bearing a weight that they were never designed to do. This does furnish additional ammunition to those who criticize the impact of the caucuses."
Steffen Schmidt, a political scientist at Iowa State University, said the caucuses are "mostly a media event."
"No delegates are selected," he told USA TODAY in an e-mail. "It's like a very extensive public opinion poll. Yet, we give it huge significance because it is the first event. The probability that Rick Santorum won and not Mitt Romney made no real difference because Romney was the untouchable front-runner in New Hampshire already."
Romney seemed braced for the news, issuing a news release this morning. "The results from Iowa caucus night revealed a virtual tie," he said.
In a news release, Santorum's campaign said the certified results in Iowa should end the notion that Romney cannot be defeated for the GOP nomination.
"We've had two early state contests with two winners - and the narrative that Governor Romney and the media have been touting of 'inevitability' has been destroyed," said Hogan Gidley, Santorum's communications director.
"Conservatives can now see and believe they don't have to settle for Romney, the establishment's moderate candidate," Gidley said. "There is a consistent conservative alternative ... and that candidate is Rick Santorum."

Skip to comments.Media Blames Romney for Their Refusal to Scrutinize Obamas Decisions
Posted on 09/20/2012 12:29:50 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Talk about the conservative critiqueand I think its a fair critique, the conservative critique: that all you guys in the media were talking about Mitt Romney, you should have talked about the warnings with the embassy, etc., etc. And yes perhaps we should have. But you know who didnt allow us to do that?
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Mitt Romney.
SCARBOROUGH: Mitt Romney. If Mitt Romney had kept his mouth shut, if he had not acted like a rank amateur, if he had not embarrassed himselfand by the way internally the campaign understands they screwed up, hes moved on, they know that. So no conservative can say oh, the mainstream media, blah, blah. They know how badly they screwed up, and they were having the fight internally before he even went out and did it. But Romney got in the way of the media looking at the president, going, wha-, wha-, what happened here? How did this happen? Now, those questions are going to be asked in the coming weeks. But they werent asked in the first 24 hours because Romney was holding this horrific, irresponsible, press conference.
If only Mitt Romney were to drop out of the election, there is no doubt in my mind that the media would finally do its job of asking why Obamas disastrous undeclared war and bad security decisions empowered Islamists to run wild across the Middle East and murder Americans. That is if they dont get distracted by some Republicans somewhere criticizing Obama, which will force them to immediately debut coverage demanding that the Republican be immediately arrested and sent to a Hope Gulag (TM) for rehabilitation.
Mostly this is just embarrassing. We are witnessing the last gasps of anything resembling journalism and its replacement by bellowing hacks who can always be counted on to scream the Party Line at viewers after a long lunch.
The media cant do its job in Libya for three very simple reasons.
1. It no longer has any idea how to do its job
2. It cant question Obama
3. It cant risk a scenario where their questions help Romney become president
Scarborough and Brzezinski have as much as admitted that they will not do their jobs because it might benefit Romney. Would they do their jobs if we went to a One Party State? Nope.
What is astounding is the sheer childishness of what passes for media dialogue now. No one takes responsibility for anything now. Instead Scarborough bellows that he cant do his job of questioning Obama because Romney somehow got in the way.
Mental Illness: Liberalism
Typical LSM AnnitedIdiot backing media pattern: excuses, deflection, excuses, lies, excuses, deflection, excuses....Bet it was Romney and Bush's fault this same LSM AnnitedIdiot backing media did NOT vet the Annointed One in 2008...... =.=
Is Joe for REAL? No wonder we call them LIBTARDS>
yes ..media is sick , childish and communist..supporting supreme leader.
Joe Scarborough is the David Brooks of MSNBC.
I have no doubts our Embassy in Libya was intentionally left defenseless so that it would be attacked on 9/11. The #1 topic in America would be a terrorist attack or an anti-Islam movie but NOT THE ECONOMY. Notice how the mainstream media is collectively HIDING the truth regarding the state of security at this Embassy.
If only Britanny Spears had not discovered her ...
Well, it's getting to the point that there is little to no difference between Joe and Mika these days. I'm starting to believe he's saying all this stupid crap just to get in Mika's pants.
Obviously, those in the media are TOO STUPID to do more than one story at a time.
John...hate to ask this to you twice in a week but how in the world do you write political satire when things like this really happen?
Joe 1
Mitt 0
He may be surprised by what he finds there...
Isn't this like blaming a rape victim - for the rape - because she was a woman?
Liberalism does breed stupidity.
He actually says if only Romney would quit the election, he's sure then the media would do it's job.
These people are garbage.
That's the beginning of Daniel Greenfield's article, responding to the Joe S. quote. I should have block the quote better. Sorry.
See post #16.
Oh well, they are still A holes.
They want Romney to stfu and leave Obama alone.
Rush did a parody 0bama news conference the other day in which 0bama said it wasn't Michelle's fault that a statue broke a window when she threw it.
It was the window's fault. If it hadn't been where it was, the bust of Churchill would have just hit the wall and not broken the window.

Agile project management at Adobe is not a new concept. Many product teams have used agile-like development models for many years now. The After Effects team, for instance, introduced an incremental development model a few years ago which was accepted by other Adobe products as an alternative to the traditional Waterfall model.
Scrum, on the other hand, is a relatively new buzzword that is spreading throughout the company and yielding some positive results.
What are the principle of Scrum?
- Scrum is an agile process to manage and control development work.
- Scrum is a wrapper for existing engineering practices.
- Scrum is a team-based approach to iteratively, incrementally develop systems and products when requirements are rapidly changing
- Scrum is a process that controls the chaos of conflicting interests and needs.
- Scrum is a way to improve communications and maximize co-operation.
- Scrum is a way to detect and cause the removal of anything that gets in the way of developing and delivering products.
- Scrum is a way to maximize productivity.
- Scrum is scalable from single projects to entire organizations. Scrum has controlled and organized development and implementation for multiple interrelated products and projects with over a thousand developers and implementers.
- Scrum is a way for everyone to feel good about their job, their contributions, and that they have done the very best they possibly could.
For me, the biggest win over other methodologies is the face-to-face communication, delivered by 15 minute status meetings each day. Weekly meetings are too in-frequent to track progress of projects. By that time the world has already changed and you're working on old stuff. Well, okay, perhaps not but sometimes it does feel like that 🙂
If you want to learn more about scrum, here's one book that comes recommended..

DISABLED youngsters will be able to take part in drama sessions thanks to generous theatregoers.
The Octagon Theatre, Bolton, is setting up a new youth theatre group for five to 12-year-olds after receiving donations totalling £2,300.
The money was raised thanks to collections held during the theatre's festive production of Peter Pan.
The Octagon already provides sessions for people aged 13 to 25 with disabilities, through Bridges Youth Theatre, but was keen to expand its work.
Project leader and participation manager Jennifer Riding, from the Octagon, said: "We are extremely grateful to those who have donated to the Octagon bridges project.
"This money will enable us to start the new disability-focused children's sessions, which we plan to start in April.
"This will cover a full year of sessions with a facilitator and a support worker, plus some initial taster sessions.
"It is a great start to a new project and a new year."
The money raised during Peter Pan, staged from November to January, will cover 30 sessions.
Staff at the Octagon say they want to create theatre and experiences to "inspire and encourage learning in an environment which will nurture the ideas and abilities of everyone who visits".
Bosses say the aim of Bridges Youth Theatre is to develop creativity, build confidence and enhance drama and theatre skills. Each term participants explore various arts and theatre skills in a "safe and fun environment".
Organisers say they are also striving to make theatre and drama accessible to all, and the Octagon also runs a number of youth and community theatre sessions.
People can still donate to the project by sending a cheque made payable to Octagon Theatre Trust Ltd to Bridges Project, Octagon Theatre, Howell Croft South, Bolton, BL1 1SB.

Free running is "a form of urban acrobatics in which participants, known as free runners, use the city and rural landscape to perform movements through its structures. It incorporates efficient movements from parkour, adds aesthetic vaults and other acrobatics, such as tricking and street stunts, creating an athletic and aesthetically pleasing way of moving. It is commonly practiced at gymnasiums and in urban areas (such as cities or towns) that are cluttered with obstacles." (wiki)
Miami Freerunning is one of Miami's premiere free running teams, founded in 2009. They're known around the world and compete all over as well. They train firefighters, policemen and other professionals on an ongoing basis. They're also fresh off a performance on the Latin Billboard Awards that took place in Miami a couple weeks ago.
I got a chance to check them out during their "open gym" day at their gym in Doral (address below). Basically, its a day they have occasionally where they allow active members of the community of all ages to use their gym to practice free running techniques in a safe and controlled environment. I personally saw kids and even a female gymnast doing some pretty incredible things at the gym.
All in all, they seem to be doing some pretty incredible stuff as a collective. You can check some more of the Miami Free Runners on their facebook page and in this amazing video reel which you can also check out below…

An International Medical Graduate (IMG) is a physician who practices medicine in the United States but attended medical school in another country (other than Canada). The definition is indifferent to citizenship or birth country.
IMGs comprise 25% of all physicians practing medicine in the United States.
10% of all IMGs practicing in the United States were born in the United States (US-born IMGs).
Physicians who trained in Canada are not considered IMGs in the United States because Canadian medical schools are recognized by the same organization that accredits US medical schools.

About a week after his first birthday, Rhys recieved this aweome Melissa & Doug farm animals puzzle as a gift. This video was taken the night after he got the puzzle:
Rhys has been mimicing words pretty well for several months now, but even I was pretty impressed with his Moo-ing.
Fast forward to last Sunday night, two and a half weeks after we'd been given the puzzle. While walking to a restaurant, the puzzle nowhere in sight (obvioulsy), my mom asks Rhys "What does a sheep say?" and he says "Baa!". I ask what a cow says and he gets that too, "Moo!".
So, a) He knows "baa" and "moo", b) he understands "sheep" and "cow", c) I really need to stop swearing in front of him and d) does anyone have a phone number for Mensa?

Game of Thrones fans can rejoice as the series has been approved for two more seasons.
The news that HBO's Game of Thrones will be getting at least six seasons came after the premiere of season four on Sunday, which had 6.6 million viewers. This is the first time that the series has ever been picked up for two additional seasons at the same time, reports the Daily Mail.
Game of Thrones was first introduced in 2011 and has been a smash hit. The series includes clan wars, fantasy and lots of death that includes major characters. The fourth season of the show will last for 10 episodes, GlobalPost notes.
George R.R. Martin is currently working on the sixth book in the Song of Fire and Ice series, which is what Game of Thrones is based on. There are currently seven books planned for the series and the fourth season of the TV show will take place near the end of the third book. This leaves Martin with plenty of time to finish the series, reports the Daily Mail.

Civic club donates to 9/11 memorial project
A civic organization has come through with a$1 thousand donation to the Oconee County committee raising money for a 9/11 memorial to be erected adjacent to what will be the new home for Walhalla High School. The donation by the Salem Lions Club, in a sense, is no surprise, for it was that organization that first suggested the project. A check was presented by Lions Club President John Harris to Carl Halvorsen, a fellow club member who represents the club on the 9/11 committee. Fundraising is underway. You can contribute by calling Brett McLaughlin of the 9/11 committee at 985-2446 or through the website www.mountainlakes911memorial.com

Newly discovered cliffs in the lunar crust indicate the moon shrank globally in the geologically recent past and might still be shrinking today, according to a team analyzing new images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft. The results provide important clues to the moon's recent geologic and tectonic evolution.
The moon formed in a chaotic environment of intense bombardment by asteroids and meteors. These collisions, along with the decay of radioactive elements, made the moon hot. The moon cooled off as it aged, and scientists have long thought the moon shrank over time as it cooled, especially in its early history. The new research reveals relatively recent tectonic activity connected to the long-lived cooling and associated contraction of the lunar interior.
"We estimate these cliffs, called lobate scarps, formed less than a billion years ago, and they could be as young as a hundred million years," said Dr. Thomas Watters of the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, Washington. While ancient in human terms, it is less than 25 percent of the moon's current age of more than four billion years. "Based on the size of the scarps, we estimate the distance between the moon's center and its surface shrank by about 300 feet," said Watters, lead author of a paper on this research appearing in Science August 20.

GREYTOWN, South Africa (AP) — The words of little children from rural South Africa may have stopped an international sex predator.
U.S. investigators say Jesse Osmun confessed that as a Peace Corps volunteer, he sexually molested at least five girls at a South African shelter for AIDS orphans and other children. He now faces 30 years in prison under a U.S. anti-sex tourism law.
Before coming to South Africa, Osmun volunteered at an orphanage in Kenya where they say he did no harm.
His do-gooder identity may have helped cover a darker side. Then the little girls spoke.
Samkele Mhlongo, a police translator who helped an American investigator interview two of the victims from the Umvoti AIDS Centre where Osmun volunteered, says the girls were frightened. "They were brave to tell."

It may not be too far of a stretch that Buffalo Bills' fans may see several former New York Jets on the Bills this coming season.
The addition of Mike Pettine as Bills' defensive coordinator gives the team strong ties to likely free-agent Jets' players that include Bart Scott, Calvin Pace and LaRon Landry. With the defensive system Pettine wants to implement in Buffalo, ESPN reports Pace, Scott, and Landry would fit in well and could provide a needed boost to the team's defense.
ESPN also reports the addition of Landry, Pace and Scott would help fill void left after the Bills released Nick Barnett and George Wilson. The trio of players will also make the team tougher and more physical and.
It may be unlikely the Bills will sign all three players. However, ESPN reports that signing one of them is a possibility.Tags: Buffalo, Buffalo Bills, Football, NFL

The director of Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction said the country suffered because its most successful actors headed to America in search of mega-stardom.
"People go to films to see stars," he said. "When countries had their own stars, they had an industry. There are only three countries in the world now with sustainable film industries - America, India and Hong Kong. What do they have in common? These countries have stars whom the public want to see."
Speaking on the first day of the world's most prestigious film festival, he said it was "easy and popular and fun" to demonise Hollywood blockbusters. "But a country cannot exist on auteur films alone - you need every type of film there is. Otherwise it's not an industry, it's a boutique.
"In Britain, in its heyday in the 1960s, every type of film was being made that could be made ... the Carry On films weren't art, but they were very funny."
In return the British actor Tilda Swinton, a member of the Cannes jury, attacked Hollywood's domination of the UK film culture. "Yes, a film culture cannot rely only on one brand," she said. "But no film culture can be based on only Hollywood imports. In Britain multiplexes outnumber art cinemas 10 to one. It's difficult for audiences to find a different sort of cinema, and difficult for film-makers and critics to think of making a different sort of cinema."
The debate is particularly apposite in a year when Hollywood is making its presence felt more than ever at the festival. Shrek 2 and Joel and Ethan Coen's remake of The Ladykillers are in competition, Troy, and Tarantino's Kill Bill Volume 2 are screening out of competition. A panoply of stars is expected, including Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron and Tom Hanks.
The first movie at the festival, however, was Spanish - and managed to break one of its most revered traditions: that the opening film should be truly abysmal.
Pedro Almodóvar's Mala Educación (Bad Education) explores the experiences of two schoolboys in a religious school in the 1970s, one of whom suffers abuse at the hands of his teacher, a priest. The film, which has been warmly received, is highly critical of the Roman Catholic church.
Almodóvar said yesterday: "I believe it is not necessary to be anti-clerical. The church is destroying itself every time it speaks to the press. At least in Spain, it is its own worst enemy ... the relationship Spain has with the church is one based on idolatry. It is almost a pagan relationship." He said the film was deeply personal. "I knew priests who acted like that and children who suffered that kind of abuse."
Aside from the glitz and the hoopla, Cannes was breathing a sigh of relief that a feared series of disruptions and protests by French show-business workers had been averted. Les intermittents du spectacle, as they are known, embrace professions from technicians and stage hands to actors and musicians and are in dispute with the government about proposed reforms to a system that allows them an income while they are not working. The row has been rumbling on since last summer, when two of France's most famous performing arts festivals, Avignon and Aix-en-Provence, had to be cancelled because of strikes.
Last-minute negotiations between trade unions and festival organisers meant the worst of the disturbances were averted. The protesters won the right to be received on the red carpet at the opening festivities, and will hold public forums later in the festival to air their views.
Typically, Tarantino distanced himself from the controversy. "I am here to watch films," he said.
Security has been tightened, with audiences being routinely searched and a high police presence. The British pavilion has been moved inside a secure, gated area.
One of the films sure to cause a stir is Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, which outlines alleged links between the Bush and Bin Laden families. Disney has refused to distribute the film in the US.
But, according to Tarantino, the film's politics will not affect its reception by the jurors. "It's going to fall down on whether we like the movie. Politics be damned."

Environmental ingenuity leads Shaler Area students to honor
Shaler Area High School students are taking their green thumbs out into the community and being recognized for their efforts.
Student again won first place for their environmental action plan and second place overall in the Fairchild Challenge at Phipps, a yearlong environmental competition.
More than 50 students participated in a series of "challenges" for the competition between September and May.
"Everybody found their niche and participated in what they found most interesting and fit their interests and talents," said Christina Palladino, high school gifted and talented education, or GATE, teacher who sponsored the participating students.
Students concentrated their environmental action plan to benefit the environment at students' homes, the school and the community.
A group of freshmen organized a program on the monarch butterfly for 28 fourth-grade GATE students to teach them about conservation and how to grow butterfly gardens at home. The students then created a monarch way station at the high school.
Marnie Potter, a junior, also involved the life-skills students in the Fairchild Challenge project by having them create stepping stones for around the high school greenhouse and planting flowers in decorated pots to take home.
"I thought it was so great to get them involved," Potter said. "(This) is a pretty big project in the GATE room, but to get the life-skills kids involved is great. It's them leaving their mark on the greenhouse."
Students also focused on the community by preparing and planting an 1840s-period herb and vegetable garden at the historic Lightner House in Shaler and planting produce in the community gardens in Etna to benefit the residents and the borough's food pantries.
Matt Everett, a senior, worked in the greenhouse to grow seedlings last year and this year and took his skills to Etna to plant the seedlings he had helped grow.
"It was cool to talk to them (people in the borough) to see how what we were doing was affecting others," Everett said.
Last year, the students' efforts yielded 600 pounds of produce for food pantries and residents.
"Shaler has had been incredibly innovative in their environmental action (plan)," said Kate Borger, high school program coordinator at Phipps Conservatory. "They have gone outside of their school and working in their school … they have also gone into their community.
"We ask for environmental action to be more than the home and school community, but theirs has really reached a lot of people."
Students already are making plans to continue their efforts next year. They plan to continue to volunteer at the Garden of Etna; and Andrew Hyatt, a junior, is working on organizing phase two for the Lightner House garden.
"I think there is a definite volunteerism and community spirit that is exciting," Palladino said. "Every year they come up with more exciting projects, more involved projects and they're excited about it."

The controversial film, about a female abortionist working in the 1950s, had picked up the prestigious Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival.
British actress Imelda Staunton also received plaudits for her performance as the illegal abortionist.
The London festival will showcase more than 180 films during its two-week run.
"I'm pro-choice but I hope this is a film that does not
bludgeon the audience in black and white. It's a moral dilemma," he said.
Staunton said making the film had been an extraordinary experience.
"We were taking huge risks but we were in safe hands. There was no script, no character, you had to create and invent it."
Phil Davis, who plays Vera's husband, played down the possibility of the film receiving a heated reception from British audiences.
"Although it's a controversial subject I don't think it will cause too much controversy here."
Director Anthony Minghella was also at the festival's opening. He said: "I like the way there are no gongs and no trophy at the Film Festival. It's very unadulterated."
Stars expected to be in London during the festival include Kevin Bacon and Reese Witherspoon, who will be promoting her Bollywood version of Vanity Fair.
The festival will close on 4 November with a gala screening of I Heart Huckabees, an existential comedy starring Jude Law, Jason Schwartzman and Naomi Watts.
As well as predicted blockbusters, the festival will also screen many art house movies from around the world including China, Angola and Uruguay.
