Boy, three- and-a- half hours of debates to check this weekend! The candidates were up to their usual tricks and so the list of suspect statements is long and varied. We will go through them quickly, in the order the statements were made, beginning with the ABC News/Yahoo debate on Saturday night. After that, we tackle the Meet the Press/Facebook debate from Sunday morning. As always, we may take a deeper look at some assertions later in the week.
"But in the business I had, we invested in over 100 different businesses and net-net, taking out the ones where we lost jobs and those that we added, those businesses have now added over 100,000 jobs."
--Mitt Romney
Last week, when Romney mentioned this statistic, his campaign said the 100,000 figure was based on the number of employees at three companies with which Bain Capital was involved.
We had found that bit dubious, in part because it did not include job losses at other companies--and includes jobs created after Bain's involvement had been completed. Romney now appears to have reverted to the phrase "net-net," which in the debate he said "includes the net of both. I'm a good enough numbers guy to make sure I got both sides of that." (Does that mean his campaign does not have good enough numbers guys?)
When George Stephanopolous noted that many of these jobs were created after Bain's investment had ended, Romney conceded: "We're only a small part of that, by the way. We were investors to help get them going." We have previously ruled that it is all but impossible to verify Romney's claim of 100,000 jobs "net-net" without access to more data.
"I took my state to number one in job creation, with all due respect to what Rick Perry has said about Texas, we did a little bit better. …I took that economy to the number one position, number one in job creation, as compared and contrasted with Massachusetts, which was number 47 during a time when I think leadership matters to the American people."
--Jon Huntsman
Huntsman loves to bring this claim up in debates, but he's mixing up different data sets; his record at Utah falls to number four when you use the data set that places Romney 47th. Using a nifty interactive graphic made for The Fact Checker by Tableau Software, we earlier demonstrated how many of these job-creation claims are bogus.
"If you haven't been sued by CREW, you're not a conservative. CREW is this left-wing organization that puts out a list every election of the top Republicans who have tough races and calls them all corrupt because they take contributions from PACs."
--Rick Santorum
For what it is worth, the 2011 roster of "most corrupt" listed by Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington contains nine Republicans and four Democrats. Three Democrats and two Republicans received a "dishonorable mention."
"I don't apologize for that any more than you did when you earmarked things and did things when you were a congressman in Texas."
--Santorum to Ron Paul
"Here's what frustrates me is that you go get the earmarks and then you vote against the bill? Now, I don't know what they call that in other places, but Congressman Paul, in Texas we call that hypocrisy."
--Rick Perry to Paul
These complaints have validity. We had earlier given Paul three Pinocchios for suggesting he was against government favoritism while at the same time pushing for congressional earmarks.
"I've run two American embassies, including the largest and most complicated we have in the world, the United States Embassy in China."
Unless the numbers have suddenly changed because U.S. forces have left Iraq—which happened after Huntsman stepped down as ambassador to China—the biggest American embassy is in Baghdad. The embassy in Beijing has been number two. As for "most complicated," that may be debatable. Certainly the U.S. relationship with China is broad and wide-ranging, but the ambassador in Iraq has the thankless job of trying to keep the country from spiraling into sectarian violence.
"The president was silent when over a million voices took to the streets in Iran, voices he should have stood up for and said, we're supporting you. And he's failed to put together a plan to show Iran that we have the capacity to remove them militarily from their plans to have nuclear weaponry."
"And we had a president of the United States who stood silently by as thousands were killed on the streets and did nothing. Did nothing. In fact, he tacitly supported the results of the election. Now, Ahmadinejad announced right after the election of — polls were closed — that he won with 60-some percent of the vote, and the president of the United States said, well, that sounds like a legitimate election."
These remarks may fall more in the realm of opinion. Obama certainly left the impression at first that he was more interested in pursuing his efforts at talks with the Iranian government than questioning the results of the election. (Administration officials at the time said they did not want the government to claim the protests were the result of American intervention.) But we do not believe he called the election legitimate and he indeed said "there are significant questions about the legitimacy of the election."
"The fact is I never asked for deferment. I was married with a child. …I wasn't eligible for the draft."
--Newt Gingrich
Our colleagues at Factcheck.org note that Gingrich's stepfather told PBS "Frontline" in 1996 that Gingrich was "very nearsighted. … He has two of the flattest feet that there ever was. He was never physically capable or qualified to be military."
"Well, it's been explained many times. And there were things written 20 years ago, approximately, that I did not write. So concentrating on something that was written 20 years ago that I didn't write, you know, is diverting the attention from most of the important issues. But the inference is obvious that -- you even bring up the word racial overtones."
Paul once again missed an opportunity to explain the racist language in newsletters published under his name. He had previously earned three Pinocchios for implausible statements about his role in these publications.
"Government at all levels, during the days of John F. Kennedy, consumed 27 percent of our economy, about a quarter. Today it consumes 37 percent of our economy. We're only inches away from no longer being a free economy."
Romney recycles a line from one of the earliest debates, though some people might be confused by the word "consume" to mean taxes. In the past, he has used this fact to talk about government spending.
He gets his statistics essentially right, according to White House historical records (see table 15.5), but the numbers are missing context. In 1961, there was no Medicare and Social Security only made up about 2 percent of the overall economy (the Gross Domestic Product.) Excluding other payments to individuals and national defense, overall federal spending was also just 2 percent of the economy. (State and local spending was nearly 9 percent of the economy.)
Fast forward to today. Social Security and Medicare are more than 8 percent of the economy. National defense has fallen in half, to 5 percent of the economy. The other functions of the federal government (i.e., excluding payments to individuals and defense) has actually fallen to just 1.6 percent of GDP. So the federal government in many ways is actually smaller.
Romney's statement that the United States is "inches away" from not having a free economy is simply rhetorical nonsense.
"People have watched me over my term as governor and saw that I was a solid conservative and that I brought important change to Massachusetts. They recognized that I cut taxes 19 times. Balanced the budget every one of the four years I was in governor."
As we have written before, Romney's account of his record on taxes is incomplete. He does not mention the many loophole closings and fee increases he pushed through in order to help keep the budget balanced.
"We created more jobs in Massachusetts than Barack Obama's created in the entire country."
This is an apples-and-oranges comparison that gives a misleading impression. Romney earned a Pinocchio for this statement just last week.
"You had been out of state for something like 200 days preparing to run for president."
--Gingrich to Romney
A Boston Globe review found that Romney in 2006 spent all or part of 219 days out of the state, apparently in preparation for a presidential run.
"You know, we should have the same kind of healthcare the members of Congress have. Well, that's pretty much what Paul Ryan's plan is."
We have previously looked into this assertion by Republicans about the Ryan plan for Medicare and found it to be overstated. Ryan will not have a key feature of the current Congressional plan — a promise that the government will pick up as much as 75 percent of the health-care tab.
"What unfortunately happens is with all the multiplicity of federal programs, you have massive overhead, with government bureaucrats in Washington administering all these programs, very little of the money that's actually needed by those that really need help, those that can't care for themselves, actually reaches them."
Romney speaks much too broadly here, claiming that "very little" of the money from federal programs gets to people in need because of administrative costs. Even the food-stamp program, which has relatively highly administrative costs for a federal program, spends 15.8 cents on administrative costs per dollar of food stamps issued, according to a recent study. That means almost 85 cents gets to the people who need the help.
"I come from a right to work state. And I will tell you, if New Hampshire wants to become the magnet for job creation in the Northeast, you pass that right to work legislation in this state."
--Rick Perry
We looked at this claim when Romney said something similar in September. The evidence is slim that there is a connection between job creation and right-to-work laws.
"That's why I put in a plan that reduces government spending. I'd cut programs, a whole series of programs. By the way, the number one to cut is Obamacare. That saves $95 billion a year.
This is an example of where context is important. Romney first used this $95 billion figure in a fiscal policy speech in November, and it is a correct statement when you are only looking at the spending side of the equation. The Congressional Budget Office shows that outlays for the health law would be about $95 billion in 2016, and so repealing the law would certainly reduce government spending.
However, repealing the health law might also marginally increase the deficit because the health care law included various taxes and unrelated legislation in order to meet a goal of being revenue neutral. Over a 10-year period, the costs of and revenue from the health-care law essentially balance out, especially because the administration last year dropped the revenue-raising CLASS Act, which would have provided for long-term care.
"One of the ads I complained about, you had four Pinocchios from The Washington Post. Now to get four Pinocchios in a 30-second ad means there's virtually nothing accurate, in 30 seconds."
We thank the former Speaker for highlighting our Pinocchio scale. Four Pinocchios means the claim, or the ad, is a whopper. We will let the column speak for itself, but it focused on a number of exaggerated claims, in particular some egregious language on abortion that Romney during the debate appeared to agree went too far. The column did not say there was "virtually nothing accurate" in the ad--in fact there were claims in the ad which we did not dispute--but we would agree Gingrich has every right to be upset at the overall impression it conveys.

There's little separating Timothy Earr and Wesley Wong.
Friends since sixth grade, they were the top graduates among 850seniors at Vista Murrieta High School on Wednesday, and they willremain close in the fall as roommates at UCLA.
They will be joined at the Westwood campus by Meagan Hennessy, A.J. Smith and Dong Ah (Anna) Seo, the top three graduates among 701 seniors at Murrieta Valley High School.
The two schools held commencement ceremonies on their respective football fields Wednesday evening in front of overflow crowds of cheering parents, family members and friends.
As valedictorian at Vista Murrieta, Earr earned the right to address his fellow graduates, but he invited Wong along and the two spoke together about being significant.
"We should strive to be more than just successful, we should strive to be significant," Wong told the members of the largest graduating class in the eight-year history of the school.
Earr said to be significant, classmates must show three qualities: charity, persistence and appreciation.
"There's a war to be fought," Earr said "Not a war with guns and artillery, but a war with paper and pencil. It's a war to change the world and we are the cavalry."
Before the ceremony, Earr, 18, said he was excited, but nervous.
"There's a lot of electricity, a lot of energy," he said, looking over a gym full of navy blue-robed boys and white-robed girls.
Earr had a 4.62 grade-point average to a 4.42 for Wong.
"I'm so nervous right now," said Wong, 18. "I'm going to miss everyone (but) I'm excited to graduate."
Among the crowd in the packed stadium was the family of Brandon Holcomb.
His mother, father, stepfather, sister and brother were decked out in suits, ties and dresses.
"We didn't know any different," stepdad Joe Martin said of their fancy duds.
Mom Lori Martin was excited.
"It's a big deal. It's my first child (to graduate)," she said. "It's been a very long time. We've been looking forward to it for 18 years."
Vista Murrieta Principal Darren Daniel urged the students to leave their mark in the world.
"Always push forward and reach your capacity," he said. "Be innovative, creative and take positive risks. Don't stand around and wait for things to happen, make things happen."
Eighty-four percent of the graduates are headed to a two- or four-year colleges and 6 percent are headed to the military. Of the graduates, 195 had a GPA of 3.5 or higher.
Almost 90 percent of Murrieta Valley graduates plan on heading on to college.
"This is a class of outstanding academic achievement," Principal Renate Jefferson said prior to the ceremony.
More than 10 percent of the class graduated with a 4.0 grade-point average or better and a quarter of the seniors finished with a 3.5 GPA or higher, school officials said.
"We are seeing the results of excellent teaching at both our elementary and middle schools," Jefferson said. "The students are coming to high school better prepared than ever before."
Hennessy, who was chosen co-student of the year along with classmate Joshua Lam, urged her classmates to take chances and step outside their comfort zones.
"This is the difference between compiling a resume and living a life," Hennessy said.
Seo thanked her parents, who left their native Korea when she was 8 years old to come to America.
"My parents abandoned their home country in order to provide better opportunities for me and my sister," Seo said.
As she spoke, Seo's parents sat in the audience following along with her remarks printed in Korean.
Jefferson read a list of the colleges and university's the graduates will attend. In addition to schools in California, the Nighthawks will spread their wings across the country, from the University of Massachusetts to the University of Hawaii.
About 30 graduates plan on entering the military and two dozen will attend a trade school.
One member of the class, Jantz Johnson, has accepted an appointed to the United States Air Force Academy.
Just before the diplomas were handed out Jefferson urged the graduates "to dream big and lead with your heart."

Mary Elizabeth Winstead doesn't drink, smoke or imbibe any kind of intoxicant — normally what you'd want from the star of your film. However, when your movie is Smashed, a love story about a husband and wife who wind up, after one too many gimlets, having to address the seriousness of their disease, a little first-hand knowledge can't hurt.
To that end, director James Ponsoldt brought Winstead and her costar, Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul, on a tour of Los Angeles dive bars.
"The goal was to give them the shared experience of going to that place and taking care of each other when they couldn't stand up," says Ponsoldt, who also made the Nick Nolte film Off the Black, another picture set around the world of Alcoholics Anonymous. "I was an evil little doctor playing an experiment, but it's worth saying that on set they weren't drinking. It's said that your emotional growth stops when the addiction begins, and Mary did a lot of work rooting her character's drunkenness."
Drunkenness on film has a long and storied history, from The Lost Weekend, True Grit and Days of Wine and Roses to Arthur, Sideways and Leaving Las Vegas, which earned Nicolas Cage an Oscar. In Smashed, which features comic turns from Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman, Winstead received help from Ivana Chubbuck, an L.A.-based acting instructor who also coached Halle Berry in Monster's Ball. For Winstead, beloved by Toronto audiences for playing Ramona Flowers in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Chubbuck's techniques were incredibly useful. For instance, when performing as if your character has just shot heroin, it's helpful to imagine your brain filled with cotton candy.
"I'd imagine the vodka burning through my throat, travelling down into my stomach and tingling into my arms," says Winstead, next appearing in A.C.O.D., a comedy about grown children of divorce that stars Jane Lynch, Amy Poehler and Jessica Alba. "I'd run around the room in circles to get my body out of control and sometimes, after doing drunk scenes all day and I'd have to drive home, it was weird. I felt like I was doing something illegal."
Rounding out the cast of Smashed is Octavia Spencer, coming off her Oscar win for The Help, who plays Winstead's seen-it-all AA sponsor. Spencer, another teetotaller performer, says she doesn't share her character's urges for a chemical high, but can relate to addiction through her own struggles with food.
"I understand being out of control on some level, not where it pertains to substance abuse, but look at me, I'm not a toothpick. I have my issues," she says. "I don't think you can throw a stone and not come in contact with someone who knows someone or has their own problems. I tried to deal with my love of snacks, and I relapse a lot."
For all the actors involved, Smashed represents a rare opportunity — a chance to portray characters in the throes of an attempt to change. Given the subject matter of his pictures, it seemed opportune to ask writer-director Ponsoldt if he personally struggled with the disease. He did not. Instead, what attracted him to the material was a desire to catch people as they attempt to stop their fall.
"Everyone I know has damage. They were either loved too much or too little or they're addicted to this or that or they work too hard or can't find a job, but no one has a clean slate in life," he says. "My favourite stories are about screwed-up people trying to fix themselves. They're trying and falling, and trying again."

I blame Thom Hartmann for this one. Now he's got me wondering.
Last week Thom suggested that some of the money pouring into Republican coffers is coming from Iran. Since we're not allowed to know where much of that money is coming from, is it any surprise such speculation surfaces?
I know, your response is probably, "What? Is he crazy? With all the tough talk coming from the Right?"
True. That's one of the very minor reasons I have my doubts. But ignoring all the tough talk, one must ask...
...exactly how "tough" have Republicans been on Iran?
If anything, though their rhetoric may have been feisty, since Carter: Republicans have given us Reagan and his merry band of crooks willing to risk national security by arming the Iranians. Bush I and II yammered, but did squat; except insist we give Iran a big wet kiss by taking out their adversary in the region: Saddam. Bush I can be connected to the first, as well as Rummy arming Saddam then turning on him for fun and profit. Taking him out in the most bloody, humiliating and profitable way possible: doing what they can to make sure Iran becomes the biggest, baddest, bitches on the block.
Basically talking tough while giving hugs and kisses.
If anything, when we ignore the rhetoric which seems to pop up mostly when Dems are in power... as if it's all for "show:" politically driven... Republican leaders and their corporate surrogates have been very helpful to overly kind. Who knows what's actually going on behind the curtain. The Wicked Witch and the Wiz could be having self serving hot mutual-partisan-sex for mountains-worth of money and political advantage.
One must wonder if Iran and America under Republican control could be akin to couple who fights in public, but cuddles in private... laughing at the gullibility of those who believe their act. Every time there's a Republican administration Iran does far better, and when a Democrat ascends, the noise increases.
So the Thom Hartmann Conspiracy could be defined as, "Could the Iranians be funding their party of choice: Republican?"
I doubt it.
To be honest Iran has all the stability, and sanity, of North Korea. To be that devious? Yes. No doubt about that. And when it comes to Republicans, Karl Rove alone proves that when betraying his country by exposing a CIA operation intent on de-fang-ing terrorism, ruining a career and getting people oft by Saddam, is all "fair game" if the intent is publicly humiliating a spouse who contradicts your bosses in public. Traitors to their country placing the blame on Plame: the victim.
How Republican is that?
But for the leaders of Iran to keep it together, snickering in some smoky back room with agents of the Republican Party over so many years, plotting so concisely? Not impossible, but I feel more than somewhat unlikely. Not that I doubt the deviousness of Republicans. No way in hell. I just doubt the leaders of Iran.
Now I admit I'm no stranger to giving conspiracy theories a tad more consideration than I should. For example: 9/11 and Katrina. I seriously doubt the first one was actually planned by anyone other than bin Laden and his group. I somewhat doubt Bushco ignoring warnings before Katrina was part of some grandiose "plan." But I do believe Bush and Company and their pet corporations knew that great profit: political and financial, was to be made on the backs of victims if well predicted events like 9/11 or Katrina happened. Hence, why do anything? Why not go, "You've done your job," then dismiss those who bang on your door trying to warn you? And after it happens bin Laden intent on hitting the United States becomes a "historical" document derived from "old reporting."
Forget this "no one could have known," crap. They knew something might happen. They just felt doing nothing, then handing clean up to Blackwater, Halliburton and rich supporters who could buy Mississippi Gulf Coast properties on the cheap was a better goal. And sending the National Guard away might create more chaos, more problems.
It's an old scam: help create a problem then offer solutions that might make it all worse. Then offer more bad solutions you can offer worse solutions to. All supported by an evil version of Sargent Schultz, "I know nothing. I see nothing. Screams from then ovens, the dead, the dying, drowning people to get false intel? I hear nothing. Now let's all get rich off it all."
In short this is the only conspiracy theory, if one can call it that, I do buy into for sure: "leave the door open. See what happens. Then take advantage of it politically. Give plenty of business to corporate buddies to make it all worse, then repeat."
Sounds very, very Republican to me these days.
But the concept that Iran has been plotting with Republicans for over a period of approximately 40 plus or minus years? Eh, even occasional conspiracy musing Ken is a bit skeptical. But... let's go with it for a moment, shall we?
Which brings me to my final point here: if they are truly in league with the Iranians as Thom suggests, what could our October surprise be?
Iranians testing their first nuclear weapon in October.
What do you think Barack Obama's chances of winning reelection would be after that?
Nil. Even if he immediately demands we declare war on Iran. Even that might be considered too late, as framed by Romney and the FOX propaganda network. You know, whatever the reaction, it will be used by Romney as an example of the shiftiness and inadequacy of, to quote Mitt, "the bla..." in the White House.
Of course: as always, the real point here is already lost: Iran having a nuke being real scary is laughable. Just one of our allies could turn Iran into a sea of glass. Iran actually using it? Iran's leaders may be poke the Godzilla-size big mad bear crazy, but they're not that suicidal-ly stupid.
There can be little doubt that Iran testing a nuke would probably end the Obama presidency. Why, who knows, considering Iran Contra, deals made by Republicans during the hostage crisis in the late 70s with Iran, Watergate, I wouldn't be surprised if the Iranians have had some "help" in the nuke department... if the Thom thesis is true.
If there really is a Republican Party-Iran connection here, well "un-happy days aren't here again!" ...we have something big to look forward October surprise time. Oh, boy! I just can't wait til we unwrap that early Christmas present. Maybe it will be a huge "magic" mushroom delivered like some big nasty pizza by the Republican Dominos-like corporate pals? If it comes late November 1st, is it free? Do we get our country back, to quote Teabagger rhetoric?
OK, I admit it. I don't trust the Iranians. There's plenty of history to back me up on that. Yet, as much as I mistrust the Iranians...
...I trust the Republican Party's henchmen and women far less.

Hit and miss kenny.
Hell yea the Republicans could be getting money from Iran. Why not?
For instance,...
Ahmadinejad is not terribly popular in Iran. Push come to shove, Ahmadinejad don't care about anybody but Ahmadinejad.
So he and the Republicans agree to take America to War with Iran provided there is something in it for Ahmadinejad.
For Republicans it is all about appeasing
special interest groups. Ahmadinejad provokes a war with the US that wipes out his country, Ahmadinejad then makes it obvious to the People that the big mean US has made it necessary to privatize the countries oil reserves into the hands of BP, Shell, etc., (probably with the aid of the IMF and World Bank). BP, Shell, etc. get the reserves for a song and a dance (don't they always here or abroad?!) and give Ahmadinejad a check$$$ for helping out.. Not to mention that Ahmadinejad could also get a big thank you$$$ for the action he'd be throwing the Military-Industrial Congressional complex.
Crap like this happens more often then you'd think. You can't be that niave.
First off, "Ken."
Second I was referring to how many years of mutual plotting, planning and "donations?" Not just this election.
Did you miss that?

Shinde's appeal to states on Muslims: right letter, wrong message
The timing is all wrong and it smacks of Machiavellian intentcolumns Updated: Oct 02, 2013 17:24 IST
Himayat Baig is a convicted terrorist, and sentenced to death, in the Pune German Bakery blast of February 2010. That's if you believe the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) which secured the conviction in April this year in a Pune sessions court. Baig, now prisoner C-323 in Arthur Road jail, has challenged the verdict.
Himayat Baig is not a terror operative and was not at the scene with IM co-founder Mohammed Ahmed Sidibapa, aka Yasin Bhatkal, that evening; it was another operative, Qateel Siddiqui, who executed the sinister plot with Bhatkal. That's if you believe the National Investigation Agency (NIA)'s report which joins the dots of various investigations into terror attacks across the country, and Bhatkal's statement to the NIA.
Is Baig then a foot soldier in the proxy war mounted against the country with considerable support from young Muslims, disenchanted or mere mercenaries? He--and we--will have to wait for the slow criminal justice system to arrive at a sound and definitive answer. Baig is not the only one; there are tens of others living on the slim hope, an article of faith as it were, that the wrongful incarceration for their alleged role in terror attacks will end in freedom. Soon.
It's against this backdrop that union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde's letter to all chief ministers assumes significance. In it, sent on September 30, Shinde asked them "to ensure that no innocent Muslim youth is unduly detained…and subjected to undue harassment" in the guise of combating terror, and that "strict and prompt action" is taken against those - presumably police officials - who make such malafide arrests. Such instructions were bound to raise hackles. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), expectedly slammed Shinde for "dividing the country on communal lines". That was a tad too rich. Shinde returned the jibe, saying he was only doing his "routine work".
The message of the letter was over-due, given the number of cases surfacing of Muslim men wrongly arrested, tortured and then acquitted or discharged in terror cases, as human rights groups have been documenting. Yet, it's difficult to miss the inescapable finger-print of his party's utterly cynical and opportunistic strategy to retain--or in some cases, win back--the Muslim community's support in the pre-election months. Shinde, after all, is among those note-worthy politicians thrilled to crawl when asked to bend by their political bosses.
It is nobody's case that those who plan terror strikes and plant bombs should go unpunished but it has become routine for local police to pick up Muslim men after a blast and run the usual drill on them: detain, arrest, torture, force confessions, invoke harshest provisions in law, and deny legal assistance. Bangalore-based journalist Muthi-Ur-Rahman Siddique was arrested with 14 others last year by the local police in a terror plot; he was released this February after the NIA took over the investigation and dropped charges against him. The stigma, he has said, is hard to get over. Lower courts in Delhi acquitted four "terrorists" arrested by the local police Special Cell in 2005 for their plan to attack the Indian Military Academy in Dehradun.
Before Swami Aseemanand confessed and the role of the radical right-wing Hindu groups became apparent in the Malegaon September 2006 blasts, nine Muslim men had been doled out the "special" police/ATS treatment. In the Hyderabad Mecca Masjid blasts, 70 men charged and later acquitted are due to receive compensation for the wrongful arrest and torture. In March, Infosys agreed to pay compensation of Rs 20 lakh to Rashid Husain, unfairly targeted by the police in 2008 Jaipur blasts and sacked from his job.
The list is embarrassing. Each such arrest means despair for those targeted and their families, and inevitably blanked-out futures; also, it turns the community against the State and sets up as a communal issue what should only - and always - remain a security matter. The template of reflexively and arbitrarily targeting Muslim men needed to be questioned at the highest level. Shinde's letter could have been the cautionary one; alas, the timing is all wrong and it smacks of Machiavellian intent. Sad, for a crucial issue will be further steeped in politics.

Lab tests are generally done for one of the following reasons:
- To find the cause of symptoms
- To confirm a diagnosis
- To screen for a disease. Screening tests are often done for people of a specific age or those who have a high risk for a specific disease.
- To help rule out a disease or condition
- To assess the severity of a disease
- To monitor the progression of a disease, how well an organ is working, or if treatment is helping
- To verify specific events (for example, DNA testing after a rape, or urine testing to look for drug use)
Many conditions can change your lab results. Your doctor will talk with you about any abnormal results as they relate to you.

Scientists have called on the U.K. government to give its immediate approval to laws allowing three-parent babies after experts found the techniques were safe.
The Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA) said it had examined a "voluminous" amount of data and concluded the techniques were not "unsafe" and were "potentially useful."
But it said further experiments, including on human embryos, were needed.
The procedure sees donor DNA from a "second mother" implanted into a defective egg to prevent children suffering from inherited genetic conditions such as muscular dystrophy.
Supporters say the technique, which has been developed by British scientists, would allow affected couples the chance to have their own, genetically-related healthy offspring, but critics have warned it could lead to "designer children."
The Government began a consultation on draft regulations in February, asking a panel from the HFEA to examine the safety and effectiveness of two techniques. Both methods involve damaged mitochondria from a mother being replaced with healthy ones from an egg donated by another woman.
Faults in mitochondria – small structures in cells which produce energy – cause serious illness in one in 6,500 babies and are responsible for 50 genetic diseases, many of which kill in infancy. Women carrying damaged mitochondria can also miscarry repeatedly.
Prof Robin Lovell-Badge said Tuesday: "Both techniques have the potential to be useful." He added: "There is still no evidence to suggest that either technique might be unsafe. There is still insufficient evidence to recommend one technique over the other … but we still do recommend that some further experiments are needed to be done before introducing either into clinical practice."
Prof Peter Braude said there was already a waiting list. It is not known how many women have expressed an interest, but in February the Department of Health said initially 10 babies were expected annually, but this could rise to 125.
Dr Andy Greenfield, the panel chairman, said: "These techniques are not related to, nor will lead to, reproductive cloning. Individuals created by mitochondrial replacement are unique individuals … this is sexual reproduction with a twist. Secondly, this is not eugenics. Eugenics it seems to me involves preventing some individuals being born … these technologies will allow women to have genetically related and healthy children.
Dr Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust said: "Given this evidence, we urge Parliament to pass enabling regulations swiftly, to ensure that there is no delay in patients being able to access these life-changing techniques."
Alastair Kent, director of Genetic Alliance U.K., said: "This increases the urgency to finalize the regulations to permit the use of this technology. We should be waiting for the science to be ready, not for the regulations, and the science is moving quickly."
A Department of Health spokesman said: "Mitochondrial donation will give women who carry severe mitochondrial disease the opportunity to have children without passing on devastating genetic disorders. It will also keep the U.K. at the forefront of scientific development in this area. We will give careful consideration to this report together with the responses to our recent consultation and announce our plans in the next few months."

i've found that as long as you're a decent surfer, the lack of etiquette found in most SUPs isn't a big issue & can be dealt w/. the fact that they let loose a tanker in the line-up whenever they wipe out &/or bail their boards is the bigger problem & a massive safety issue. like the douchebag who wasn't wearing a leash & lost his barge 4 out of 4 waves i saw him "ride".
SUPs don't belong in the line-up. end of discussion.

Also, there are a couple people who SUP around here that are good. The rest are middle-aged yuppie wannabe's. But we've been over all this before....

There always seem to be a couple SUPs at the break I surf most often, especially on smaller days, but I've never had a serious problem with them, in fact I've seen some surfed quite skilfully. I think they look kind of goofy and dislike that they can catch just about anything while I'm stuck paddling my brains out on a board that isn't the size of an aircraft carrier... but after seeing people catching and riding wave after wave on small days I've had to admit it at least looks like something to do to at least get out there. I think the real problem with SUPs are the middle aged yuppies who seem to have no understanding or respect for surfing or surf culture... they can get annoying and dangerous. I'd say that's only been about 1/3 of the ones I've seen though, maybe I'm lucky but I can't hate on every SUP boarder in general, just the ones that seem to have come straight from the LL Bean outlet. Anyways, this thread seems to have been hacked off topic... my condolences to OC, loosing rights on the beach is never cool.

Ask M-Network: Move Retirement Account Or Stay Where I Am?
My Two Dollars reader Bud sent in the following question to the M-Network's new feature "Ask The M-Network":
"I just turned 57 today. I retired from a company 2 years ago. I took a lump sum and gave it to Fidelity in a managed account. Needless to say I am down 30+%. My question is or should I say I'm looking for direction whether I should remove it out of the managed account to save the cost of paying Fidelity to manage it and just invested in Fidelity or Vanguard index funds. I would at least be saving the quarterly expense."

Dr. Brian Luschwitz won't have to treat patients out of a converted storage closet anymore, now that the Vista Community Clinic has opened its new location.
The building, dedicated with ceremonies Thursday at 134 Grapevine Road, opened July 20 and is more than twice the size of the clinic's previous home near Tri-City Medical Center on Thunder Drive.
More than 243 individuals and organizations contributed to theproject, including DJO Inc., Kaiser Permanente and U.S. Rep.Darrell Issa, R-Vista.
"This will be the home for families who struggle every day to make ends meet and have little or inadequate health care," said Mike Hire, president of the Vista Community Clinic board of directors.
The Grapevine Road clinic cost about $6 million to build, with $4.5 million funded by donations from businesses and individuals. The clinic offers pediatrics, family medicine and obstetrics services. It also offers HIV testing and counseling for patients who are HIV positive, health education programs and a pharmacy.
The increase in square footage ---- from 5,700 square feet to 12,000 square feet at the Grapevine location ---- allowed the clinic to expand its staff. There are now two full-time pediatricians and three full-time adult medicine doctors, said Chief Financial Officer Michelle Lambert. The facility is also technologically advanced ---- doctors are able to electronically prescribe medication to patients and within a year medical records will be kept electronically.
According to Chief Executive Officer Barbara Mannino, five Vista Community Clinic locations in Oceanside and Vista handled 220,000 individual visits and cared for 53,000 patients in 2008, a 9 percent increase in patient visits over 2007. Clinic officials estimate the Grapevine facility will treat at least 16,000 patients and handle at least 50,000 individual visits in its first year of operation.
"The number of North County residents who are uninsured or underinsured is growing, and it's growing rapidly because of the economy," Mannino said. "Many people have lost their jobs, or if they haven't lost their jobs they've lost their health insurance, or they can't afford it. So they rely upon the community clinic as their primary care center."
Fees for doctor visits and pharmaceuticals are determined on a sliding scale depending on income, Lambert said.
"We don't turn sick people away," she said. "We provide health care. That's why we're here."
The area surrounding the clinic has been deemed a health professional shortage area, which means there aren't enough medical professionals available and willing to serve low-income, uninsured residents. The designation allowed the clinic to receive federal grant money to help fund facility operations.
Mannino said that 98 percent of Vista Community Clinic patients make less than $34,000 annually for a family of four.
Clinic staff have already noticed an increase in patients since the new building opened about a month ago.
"After the doors opened on July 20, every parking space was filled, the waiting rooms were full and every examination room was in use," Hire said.
"It's been pretty amazing, the demand for services," Lambert said.

Moses Ludel's 4WD Mechanix Magazine – HD Video Series: 2011 Stampede Ultra4 Race Action!
HD Video Action: The 2011 Stampede Ultra4 Race at Reno, Nevada!
There are eight HD videos covering the 2011 Stampede Ultra4 Race. See the HD video page links on the playlist.
The 2011 Stampede Ultra4 Race delivered plenty of action! A qualifier for the 2012 King of the Hammers, this race followed the reputation of the 2010 inaugural event: tougher that the King of the Hammers, challenging in widely varied terrain—and unpredictable.
4WD Mechanix Magazine interviewed Shannon Campbell on Thursday before the race and greeted him at Saturday morning's starting grid. The Ultra4 champion planned to give his best, as usual, and indicated all would go well if his "junk doesn't break"…"Junk" is the euphemism for mechanical troubles, and no car is exempt. Even the exceptional design, construction and maintenance of a Campbell Enterprises' race car can suffer an unanticipated setback.
In 2010, the inaugural Stampede Ultra4 Race, Campbell dominated the competition. 4WD Mechanix Magazine video'd the rock pile and Shannon's iconic sweep of that brutal challenge. It was predicted that Shannon Campbell would set the pace for the 2011 race. He qualified for the number one starting position and launched into the Nevada desert at the green flag…(See the 'Staging and Start' HD video.)
This year, the magazine's HD video equipment headed up a rugged canyon. The racers were well into the fast desert stretch when the lead cars hit this section. Shannon Campbell, in tight contention, was at second place behind J.T. Taylor's #13 Torchmate car. At this stage, still in the first lap, positions jocky. Both contenders were on their game.
Shannon zipped past the camcorder's view and headed up the steep canyon. We pursued on foot with camcorder in hand, as the canyon pitched upward and narrowed. Several cars passed, headed to the fateful rock "waterfall" area. See the HD video action on the following pages!
Note: In the technical inspection and race staging videos, Robert Daly and Brad Falin enter the 2011 Stampede Ultra4 Race. This team from Fernley, Nevada, has been featured at the magazine for over a year and will compete at the King of the Hammers. See the "Technical Inspection" video for an introduction to these emerging Ultra4 competitors!
Ultra4 is truly the world's toughest motorsport. See what it takes to be a winner—and ultimate sport—at this competition! For Ultra4 racing schedules and results, visit the website:

The Mandelbrot set consists of many small decorations or bulbs
(or limbs or atoms) [1].
A decoration directly attached to the main cardioid in M is called
a primary bulb. This bulb in turn has infinitely many smaller bulbs
attached. It is known that if c lies in the interior of a bulb, then the
orbit of zo=0 is attracted to a cycle of a period n.
For the "quadratic" parametrization
c = 1/4 - a2
zn+1 = zn2 + 1/4 - a2
the main cardioid of the M-set turns into a circle with radius r = 1/2. A primary bulb attaches to the main circle at an internal angle
φ = 2 π m/n
where m/n is rotation number (e.g. 1/2 → 180 o, 1/3 → 120 o and 1/4 → 90 o).

From Staff and Wire Reports
David Morales, who is on the Dangerous Dozen list for drug charges, is wanted for questioning in the murder of Taru Smith Sr., 36, of Lorain, who was killed Tuesday night in Wellsville, according to Lorain Detective Kurt Graupmann, a member of the task force.
Graupmann said the task force has been looking for Morales for months but was on special alert Wednesday after Wellsville police told them Morales may be connected to Smith's murder.
Preliminary reports indicate Smith was in a sports utility vehicle around 6 p.m. in Wellsville on Tuesday when someone in another vehicle opened fire and struck Smith several times, according to Wellsville police Lt. Ed Wilson.
The driver in the other vehicle, thought to be a late model white Mazda, fled while Smith continued driving before crashing into the rear of a parked car in front of the village police station, Wilson said.
Smith was taken by ambulance to East Liverpool City Hospital, where he died from his wounds. Wilson could not immediately describe the nature of Smith's injuries.
As of Wednesday night, police had no motive for the shooting but did not rule out drug-related issues.

Swanson's new Speed Bevel combines the talent of their ubiquitous Speed Square and the bevel gauge. Since our experience is that those are the two most used measuring devices on a site, we were pretty interested in seeing their talents combined into a single unit. Swanson sent us a sample and like always, we dropped it in the tool bag and brought it to work. It's been well over a month and here's the verdict....
So how does it work? Well, it comes out of the box looking like a Speed Square; it's got all the regular measurements (hip, valley, common, side rulers, angle gauge) and in most ways it looks and acts just like your dad's Speed Square.
Where it diverges from the traditional is with the thumb screw at one of the points. To add a little function to your tool, loosen the screw and pop the right angle apart. Once these two pieces are disengaged, it's easy to see that the other two points are hinged, giving you a bevel gauge at one end and a set 45 degree at the other (with a pivoting ruler).
The tool works well in both forms, but as a bevel gauge, it's a bit larger and clunkier than our standard. We missed having the thin little blade and the manueverability that it provides (kind of a small quibble). The Speed Bevel is made of a heavy duty composite and proved to be very durable, which is an area where it dominates the traditional bevel gauge and its flimsy blade.
When the Speed Bevel shifts back into rafter square mode, it does so with a satisfying click, one that indicates a real sturdiness. After clicking it in and out again and again over the course of a month, we're convinced that it will take some serious damage for this thing to be knocked out of true.
This is a handy tool and we're in favor of anything that allows us to remove a tool from the bag. It's also seven bucks at Amazon, so it's not like you can go wrong.

Sony hackers open hotline, engage in further mischief
A hacker group calling itself "Lulz Security" or LulzSec is flaunting its notoriety with a telephone hotline for people to call and suggest targets for cyber attacks.
"Our number has anywhere between five and 20 people ringing it every single second," members of the group said in a message from a LulzSec Twitter account on Wednesday.
"We can forward it anywhere in the world," they continued, in a string of tweets suggesting they were using the flood of calls to jam phone lines of companies in telephone versions of Internet "denial of service" attacks.
Lulz has been in the spotlight after taking credit for cyberattacks on high-profile companies including Sony and Nintendo.
Videogame companies appear to be favoured targets for the group, prompting some in the computer security industry to believe its members are young people up to japes, tricks and cockamamie antics rather than cyber crooks out for loot.
The hotline number spelled out "LULZSEC" and had an area code in the US state of Ohio.
When dialled, the number results in a recorded greeting, featuring a man speaking with an exaggerated French accent who explains that "Pierre Dubois and Francois Deluxe" are unavailable because they're up to mischief on the Internet.—AFP

A document submitted to court in connection with a drug investigation, which we recently discovered, provides a rare inventory of the types of data that federal agents are able to obtain from a seized iPhone using advanced forensic analysis tools. The list, available here, starkly demonstrates just how invasive cell phone searches areand why law enforcement should be required to obtain a warrant before conducting them."

Weeknight Dinner Challenge: Super Easy Chicken & Pasta With Butter Sauce
Even though I no longer keep a conventional Monday through Friday, slave-every-evening-until-5-or-much-later work schedule, my weekdays are still all about routine and responsibilities.
That all too familiar week night time crunch is very much a reality in our household. Dinner time rolls around and I'm a complete mess. I hate to plan meals and I'm always freaking exhausted. I'm not exactly jazzed about working my butt off in the kitchen after a long day of housework, errands, writing, resting and whatever else I need to do. Yep, us health challenged people need to schedule down time. We all should.
Granted, there are two of us in this equation. But Husband works a lot harder than I do, so I feel like the dinner job should be mine. And frankly he deserves better than some gross frozen lasagna, hot dogs, or something similar every night (nothing against frozen lasagna or hot dogs, but you know what I mean).
I want to be a sophisticated, highfalutin foodie. I really do. I want to sit around with fancy friends and talk about the merits of truffle oil and red wine reductions, and sound like I actually have a brain in my head. But I just don't think I have it in me. I know it's ridiculous. I mean, come on. It's food. Not flipping quantum physics.
What I really need to do is suck it up, focus on simple and accessible ingredients, give it my best shot and hope for a delicious end result.
One of my favorite blogs is Dancing Branflakes. It's lovely. Tiffany, aka "Mrs. Branflake" , loves to wax poetic about dancing, food, marriage, beauty and whatever else inspires her (please check it out, she won't disappoint). I have something really cool in common with her, we both live in the Sacramento area (which makes me enjoy her posts even more, she often talks about local spots and interests). Not long ago she posted this totally delish looking chicken and pasta recipe with a very simple homemade butter type sauce. And it seemed easy. Exactly what I need. I saved the post for future reference, knowing I would want to try something similar if I ever had one of those all too common dinner crises.
Mrs. Branflake's timing could not have been better. Last Thursday was one of those evenings. Even on a really good week, by the end of it I'm toast. Husband got home from work early and he went right to work outside, doing whatever manly tasks he does out there. Shit. He was going to be ravenous by the time he came in. This meant only one thing: I would have to get my inner domestic goddess goin' on and come up with something good for dinner. Then I remembered. Mrs. Branflake's awesome chicken and pasta recipe! Perfect! I had everything I needed, too. I set out to put my own spin on it.
I know I have talked about my vegetarian tendencies in the past, so chicken normally isn't my thing. But for health and energy reasons I have had to experiment with my diet lately. I am finding that animal protein does help with my energy levels a bit, but sometimes I get tired of fish. I have been introducing small portions of chicken into my diet here and there.
On this night, with Husband outside doing God know's what, I poured myself a tall glass of iced Pellegrino and cherry juice and put on a Little House On The Prairie rerun to watch while I worked. Don't laugh. Little House reruns take me back to my childhood, when life was a lot less complicated. I need those memories sometimes.
Here are my ingredients:
2 large organic chicken breasts
1/3 cup chicken broth (not really sure why I decided to use this, but it worked beautifully)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt & pepper (to taste)
Assorted herbs & spices (To your liking. I actually found a jar of Herbes de Provence in my spice cabinet! One of Husband's stocking stuffers from Mom. You can see who she has confidence in when it comes to cooking. I used a pinch, along with a few random others, just to feel extra fancy.)
About 1 & 1/2 cups sliced white mushrooms
About 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1 cup whole milk (I don't mess around, full fat all the way)
3 tablespoons salted sweet cream butter
About 1 cup grated pecorino romano cheese (we are cheese freaks, you may want to use less and then add more gradually if you feel the need)
Spaghetti (darn it, I was out of angel hair. I made about six servings of pasta because Husband always eats more than he should {okay, I do too}, and besides it never hurts to have leftovers)
Fresh steamed broccoli (as a healthy side veggie)
Level of difficulty: Easy, even for a food idiot like me.
I put the olive oil, broth and chicken in my grooved grilling pan, seasoned with my salt, pepper, herbs and spices and set on medium low heat. I cooked the chicken, turning consistently for about twenty five minutes until almost completely cooked through. While my chicken was cooking, I chopped my broccoli and mushrooms, and cooked my pasta.
When the chicken was almost done, I removed it from the pan and set it aside. I raised the burner to a medium temperature and deglazed the pan with my one cup of milk, stirring consistently until all the delicious brown chicken bits and juices were blended. I then added my butter, garlic and sliced mushrooms. When the butter was almost completely melted, I then added my pecorino romano, a bit more pepper and herbs and stirred my sauce until the cheese was melted and all ingredients were well blended. I adjusted the burner to low heat, returned the chicken to the pan and covered for about five minutes.
The chicken turned out perfect and juicy. I placed each breast on a bed of pasta and generously poured the sauce over it. Being the cheese nuts that we are, I sprinkled more pecorino romano over the chicken, and even some more on the side dish of fresh steamed broccoli.
It was delicious. Husband was pleased and impressed with my mad skills. I was so happy to create a super yummy and balanced dinner, and I didn't have to work too hard on it. Thanks for the inspiration, Mrs. Branflake!
As a side note, for those of you out there who like to write about and/or photograph your food, there is a really cool app available for iPhone called Snapdish. Sometimes it is hard to photograph food correctly-lighting has to be just right, etc. Snapdish can help you improve the quality of your images and can help you easily share your recipes online. Something worth checking out!

pohmer on marketing: Communicating an Integrated Message
Last month we discussed the importance of in-store message communicators such as POP materials, signage, etc., in influencing consumer purchasing behaviors by providing education and enjoyment. Selling the "experience" of buying — focusing on the emotions of buyers and the enjoyment our products will bring them — will allow you to compete more effectively for your fair share of the consumer packaged goods category dollars your customers are spending.
Like you, I've read that retailers should be spending a minimum of three to five percent of their sales dollars on advertising to entice consumers into the store. Note that the purpose of advertising is to entice, to provide a reason — be it price, uniqueness of an item or a seasonally appropriate message — to get potential buyers to physically visit your store. But, advertising itself doesn't sell them anything. The actual purchasing decision is not made until they enter your front door and walk through your store.
Advertising alone doesn't work
If you don't spend at least as much (or hopefully more) attention to influencing shoppers' purchasing decisions once they arrive in your store, then you're wasting the dollars you've spent on advertising. Further, it's been shown that only a small percentage of a retailer's customers are drawn in through advertising. The vast majority are drawn in by past enjoyable buying experiences, impulse ("just driving by") or other reasons. The better job you do of providing compelling reasons for consumers to purchase once they're in your store, the higher the likelihood you can convert those shoppers into buyers. That is where you need to place more emphasis in order to increase sales volume, in addition to making the consumer feel more successful and more satisfied so they become repeat purchasers.
Consumer studies show that the public truly likes the greenhouse industry's products. However, many times potential buyers are not provided enough information to build the confidence necessary for success with their greenhouse puchases or provided enough reasons to buy your products in the first place.
Before we discuss what specific elements of an integrated in-store message are needed to influence the typical horticulture buyer's purchasing behavior, I'd like to issue a challenge to you. Take some time to visit retailers in your local markets; not only other garden centers, but supermarkets, discounters, home improvement retailers and specialty stores — including some located in shopping centers and malls such as Pottery Barn, Bed Bath and Beyond, Crate and Barrel, Pier 1 Imports and Sharper Image. Though these retailers don't necessarily carry the same products you do, they are direct competition for your customers' dollars, and many of them provide exceptional in-store product support. After going to these stores, walk through your own store looking at your product support as a consumer would (not as the store owner) and determine if you really do compete effectively with these other retailers.
Education and information
Studies have shown that greenhouse product consumers are starved for information on two levels: 1) Information necessary to make a good purchasing decision in the store, one that will provide the solution to their need or intended use, and 2) information that will make them successful with their purchase once they get it home. Walking through your store, they may see an interesting plant or be intrigued by the flowers on a shrub, but they probably have no idea what the application could be in their own home. Clear, concise and specific information becomes a necessity in that case, not an option. Terms like "moderately moist" or "partial shade" or "medium temperature" that are seen on much of the signage and labels today have no real meaning or use to the consumer if you haven't provided a definition of exactly what those terms mean in layman's language. And, if they are confused, chances are they won't experience success with their purchase.
Many of the products we offer are new hybrids or enhancements of existing products. It's important that you communicate not only the features of these products, but also what the real and perceived benefits of these features are for the consumer in terms that they can understand and that are meaningful to them.
Granted, there isn't enough room on a 7 x 11 sign for all of this information, but think of the possibilities of an integrated approach by 1) actually utilizing the space available on that 7 x 11 sign, 2) putting up a category wall poster or hanging sign to facilitate purchase decision-making and 3) offering a variety-specific full color stick stake or hang tag and a product-specific care sheet to accompany the purchase to its new home. Each informational element unto itself only provides some of the required information; combined, they provide the consumer with everything they need for product success and enjoyment.
Another good marketing idea is to print a Web site address on all point of sale (POS) information, labels and tags that will allow the consumer to access more detailed information on the products they purchase. The Web site address can be the retailer's, with a plant or chemical glossary on your site, or a link to the supplier's Web site where information is available. Or, you can print the grower's or manufacturer's Web site on the POS information. The key point is to let your customers know that additional information is available to them, more than what is provided at point of purchase.
A successful integrated approach must be undertaken by all parties involved in your product's sale — the retailer, the supplier and the printing company — keeping a clear focus on the consumer's needs.
Many of your consumers are "occasional gardeners" and are purchasing many of your products for the first time. As a result, many of them are not familiar with all of the accessories or items that may be required to allow them to complete the planting or that will help ensure success. For instance, you can sell an orchid to a customer and hope they're successful with their purchase. Or, you can develop a sign and a display that sells not only the orchid plant, but plant food, a container, orchid mix/moss and a book on orchids — all merchandised together. This integrated approach not only helps build the consumer's confidence and offers them a higher chance of success (the primary goal), but also increases your transaction dollar value and profit potential.
Next month we'll review the other key components of an integrated consumer message approach: Entertainment, the experience, emotion and enjoyment.

Scene 4
A room in Page's house.
(Fenton; Anne Page; Shallow; Slender; Mistress Quickly; Page; Mistress Margaret Page)
Fenton tells Anne how unlikely it is that her father will ever approve of him, but she asks him to keep trying. Anne sees Slender approaching, and comments on how her father approves of him only because he's rich. Slender attempts to woo her, but greatly needs his uncle Shallow's help. He admits that he is only running after her because her father and his uncle insist on it. Page comes out to invite them all in and tells Fenton to leave Anne alone. Fenton pleads with Mistress Page, while Anne asks her to spare her from marrying Slender, but Mistress Page intends Dr. Caius to be Anne's husband. Mistress Quickly assures Fenton that Anne likes him thanks to her. By now, she is a go-between for all three suitors, not to mention the messenger between the two wives and Falstaff. (82 lines)
Enter Fenton, Anne Page.
I see I cannot get thy father's love,
Therefore no more turn me to him, sweet Nan.
Alas, how then?
Why, thou must be thyself.
He doth object I am too great of birth,
And that my state being gall'd with my expense,
I seek to heal it only by his wealth.
Besides these, other bars he lays before me,
My riots past, my wild societies,
And tells me 'tis a thing impossible
I should love thee but as a property.
May be he tells you true.
No, heaven so speed me in my time to come!
Albeit I will confess thy father's wealth
Was the first motive that I woo'd thee, Anne;
Yet wooing thee, I found thee of more value
Than stamps in gold, or sums in sealed bags;
And 'tis the very riches of thyself
That now I aim at.
Gentle Master Fenton,
Yet seek my father's love, still seek it, sir.
If opportunity and humblest suit
Cannot attain it, why then hark you hither!
They converse apart.
Enter Shallow, Slender, Mistress Quickly.
Break their talk, Mistress Quickly, my kinsman shall speak for himself.
I'll make a shaft or a bolt on't. 'Slid, 'tis but venturing.
Be not dismay'd.
No, she shall not dismay me. I care not for that, but that I am afeard.
Hark ye, Master Slender would speak a word with you.
I come to him.
This is my father's choice.
O, what a world of vild ill-favor'd faults
Looks handsome in three hundred pounds a year!
And how does good Master Fenton? Pray you a word with you.
She's coming; to her, coz. O boy, thou hadst a father!
I had a father, Mistress Anne, my uncle can tell you good jests of him. Pray you, uncle, tell Mistress Anne the jest how my father stole two geese out of a pen, good uncle.
Mistress Anne, my cousin loves you.
Ay, that I do—as well as I love any woman in Gloucestershire.
He will maintain you like a gentlewoman.
Ay, that I will, come cut and long-tail, under the degree of a squire.
He will make you a hundred and fifty pounds jointure.
Good Master Shallow, let him woo for himself.
Marry, I thank you for it; I thank you for that good comfort. She calls you, coz. I'll leave you.
Now, Master Slender—
Now, good Mistress Anne—
What is your will?
My will? 'Od's heartlings, that's a pretty jest indeed! I ne'er made my will yet, I thank heaven. I am not such a sickly creature, I give heaven praise.
I mean, Master Slender, what would you with me?
Truly, for mine own part, I would little or nothing with you. Your father and my uncle hath made motions. If it be my luck, so; if not, happy man be his dole! They can tell you how things go better than I can. You may ask your father, here he comes.
Enter Page, Mistress Page.
Now, Master Slender. Love him, daughter Anne.
Why, how now? What does Master Fenton here?
You wrong me, sir, thus still to haunt my house.
I told you, sir, my daughter is dispos'd of.
Nay, Master Page, be not impatient.
Good Master Fenton, come not to my child.
She is no match for you.
Sir, will you hear me?
No, good Master Fenton.
Come, Master Shallow; come, son Slender, in.
Knowing my mind, you wrong me, Master Fenton.
Exeunt Page, Shallow, and Slender.
Speak to Mistress Page.
Good Mistress Page, for that I love your daughter
In such a righteous fashion as I do,
Perforce, against all checks, rebukes, and manners,
I must advance the colors of my love,
And not retire. Let me have your good will.
Good mother, do not marry me to yond fool.
I mean it not, I seek you a better husband.
That's my master, Master Doctor.
Alas, I had rather be set quick i' th' earth,
And bowl'd to death with turnips!
Come, trouble not yourself. Good Master Fenton,
I will not be your friend nor enemy.
My daughter will I question how she loves you,
And as I find her, so am I affected.
Till then farewell, sir; she must needs go in,
Her father will be angry.
Farewell, gentle mistress; farewell, Nan.
Exeunt Mrs. Page and Anne.
This is my doing now. "Nay," said I, "will you cast away your child on a fool, and a physician? Look on Master Fenton." This is my doing.
I thank thee; and I pray thee, once tonight
Give my sweet Nan this ring. There's for thy pains.
Now heaven send thee good fortune!
Exit Fenton.
A kind heart he hath. A woman would run through fire and water for such a kind heart. But yet I would my master had Mistress Anne; or I would Master Slender had her; or, in sooth, I would Master Fenton had her. I will do what I can for them all three, for so I have promis'd, and I'll be as good as my word, but speciously for Master Fenton. Well, I must of another errand to Sir John Falstaff from my two mistresses. What a beast am I to slack it!

Texaco Press Release - Texaco Foundation Joins U.S. Department of Education's Family-School
Program Designed to Boost Early Childhood Achievement
WASHINGTON, DC, Sept. 18 - Texaco announced today that they have joined the U.S. Department of Education's Family-School Partnership (PFIE), an initiative that aims to strengthen schools and improve student achievement by increasing family involvement in children's learning at home and at school.
Anne Dowling, president of the Texaco Foundation, met with United States Secretary of Education Richard Riley at the U.S. Department of Education on September 7, 2000 to enroll the Foundation in the Program.
According to U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley. "I am very pleased to see that the Texaco Foundation has joined the Partnership for Family Involvement in Education. They are joining over 6,000 other employers, community organizations, and faith-based groups who want to increase opportunities for families to be more involved in their children's learning at school and at home. The Texaco Foundation's emphasis on early childhood education will be an asset to the partnership's efforts and I am pleased to welcome them aboard."
In explaining the Foundation's enthusiasm to join the Partnership, Dowling said, "The Texaco Foundation is focused on providing educational opportunities in music and science and in sustaining educational achievement. Families are vital players in that process. We share the Partnership's enthusiasm for enriching opportunities for parents, businesses, and the community to become more involved in educating young people."
PFIE works at the local and national levels to provide parents with resources and training to support their children's learning, to encourage businesses to employ parent- and student-friendly practices, to organize community resources and facilities for before- and after-school learning activities, and to disseminate ideas and information about family-school partnerships. Members of the Partnership include businesses, community organizations, and religious groups.
The Texaco Foundation was established in 1979 under the sponsorship of Texaco, Inc. Demonstrating a longstanding commitment to foster equal educational opportunity for all children, the Foundation has established signature grant programs that strengthen childhood education in the areas of music education and scientific discovery.

The year 2016 seems to be a year of breakups for celebrities. After Ranbir Kapoor-Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli, Parineeti Chopra-Maneesh Sharma, another couple has reportedly ended their relationship.
Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokande, who were in a serious relationship for over six years, have reportedly parted ways. According to a report in DNA, while the couple had always been spotted together at events, Ankita's absence from Sushant's birthday bash sparked off rumors of split.
The couple, who fell in love on the sets of their Television show "Pavitra Rishta," had been living together for a few years until recently. Apparently, Sushant, who will soon be seen in "M.S. Dhoni : The Untold Story," has moved out of their love nest, while the TV actress still stays at the same house.
Ironically, both Sushant and Ankita, who have never shied away from expressing their love for each other on social media, had been vocal about their plans to get married in December this year. However, there are chances that the couple may sort out their differences. "Of course it is a possibility. they have known each other for over a decade," a source told the daily.
The report stated that the reason for the breakup was Sushant's alleged closeness with Parineeti, who recently broke up with director Maneesh. Both Sushant and Parineeti had worked together in "Sudh Desi Romance" and are likely to share the screen space once again in Homi Adajania's next. While the "Kai Po Che" actor has already given his nod to the film, Parineeti is likely to replace Kangana Ranaut, who had to turn down the film owing to lack of available dates.
Interestingly, Parineeti recently shared an adorable picture of her and Sushant on Instagram. "An episode of Shenanigans with Sushant. Overacting mandatory. @sushantsinghrajput," she captioned the picture.
Not just Bollywood, TV celebs too have shocked their fans with their breakup news this year. Kritika Kamra-Siddharth Bijpuria, Sara Khan-Rishabh Tandon, Anas Rashid-Rati Pandey and Ravi Bhatia-Heena Parmar are some of the couples who have called it quits.
