The first letter I read upon coming back from vacation had this to say:
"How come you wrote about the Suns the way you did? How dare you sell out to Colangelo like that?"
Wonderful. Things are back to normal. Let's get a few other things out of the way.
@body:The story about Heidi Foglesong's resignation as anchor at KTVK, Channel 3, was front-page news in both local daily newspapers.
I wonder why?
Who'll ever notice she's gone? Would they even recognize Heidi two weeks from now if they passed her at Metrocenter?
Consider the situation. Despite the hoopla, Heidi was a dual anchor at 10 p.m. with Cameron Harper, the Ken doll of local TV. So how much time did either of them have to gain immortality?
Media critic Ken Auletta pointed out something fairly significant about dual anchors in Three Blind Mice, his study of the fall of network television.
"With time subtracted for commercials and station breaks," Auletta wrote, "the half-hour newscast was only 22 minutes long--the script for the entire newscast if laid out would cover only two-thirds of the entire front page of the New York Times.
"Subtract another minute or two for music and credits, then add correspondents' reports, and the anchor was left with about five minutes to read the news and do bridges between stories."
How do you possibly divide the time? How do you allot enough for either of the two readers to make an impact?
Tom Brokaw, who isn't particularly bright, once summed it up fairly well: "This is a situation that can lead only to 'competitive cannibalism.'"
The truth of the matter is that Heidi and all the other women anchors in this town look alike. They all have jobs only because it is considered the politically correct thing for the stations to do.
All of these pretty, young things came out of the same charm school with similar haircuts, the same eyebrows and identical styles of reading the news.
We ignore the fact that it takes little more than a grade-school education to develop the skill necessary to read the news.
And yet we are inundated with so many advertisements about the news-gathering abilities of Heidi and her compatriots that we mistakenly begin to consider them journalists.
They are not journalists.
They are skilled readers who have learned when to pause, how to tilt their heads and how to smile at the end of each news brief describing the latest drive-by gang shooting.
If these young ladies weren't reading the news, they'd be running up and down the aisles of airplanes passing out bags of peanuts.
Incidentally, I was amused by Cameron Harper's fond farewell to his fellow anchor, Heidi.
Harper told the Arizona Republic, "She's breaking my heart, and I'm sure the hearts of a lot of people who have fallen in love with her on TV."
Harper, too, reminds me of one of those male airline stews. I can picture him rushing up and down those aisles, casting those bags of peanuts with the reckless abandon of a Castilian bullfighter.
@body:Every time I come across an extremely readable novel, someone else comes along and turns it into an inferior movie.
This is what has happened to John Grisham's The Firm. As a novel, it was a terrific, suspenseful read. I looked forward to the movie.
I should have known better. I should have been warned off when I learned Tom Cruise was to be the film's star. Cruise's name at the top of the bill should be a signal to avoid the vicinity of the theatre at all costs.
Once you have seen Cruise in one movie, you have captured his style forever. It is impossible for him to play any character other than Tom Cruise.
And that character is always so self-centered, self-satisfied and narcissistic that he is guaranteed to give the average viewer a squirming fit in less than five minutes.
Watching Cruise act in a big scene is as relaxing as sitting down in a dental chair for a root canal. But nobody in Hollywood ever learns. They keep pairing Cruise with the best actors in Hollywood, hoping, no doubt, that moviegoers will forget Cruise's erratic presence.
In The Color of Money, Cruise played opposite Paul Newman. In A Few Good Men, he was paired with Jack Nicholson. In Rain Man, he worked with Dustin Hoffman. Now, in The Firm, he plays against Gene Hackman. In each of these films, Cruise's performance is dwarfed by those given by Newman, Nicholson, Hoffman and Hackman. The Color of Money, A Few Good Men and Rain Man were outstanding films despite Cruise's presence. They succeeded because the roles assigned to Newman, Nicholson and Hoffman were outstanding.
The weakness of The Firm stems directly from the fact that Hackman's role as the veteran lawyer who sold his ethical standards isn't powerful enough to carry the script.
They paid Cruise $12 million plus percentages to play the young Harvard lawyer who goes to work for a firm representing the Mafia.
The film's producers were so pleased with Cruise's performance that they gave him a bonus: a $100,000 Mercedes-Benz. What else is there to say?
@body:I love it that the Arizona Republic has once again jumped on the Phoenix Cardinals' bandwagon. Joe Bugel, the lame-duck head coach, says he has been given an ultimatum by owner Bill Bidwill: Win or be gone. Bugel should have been gone two years ago. All of this is ridiculous. Once again, Bugel won't and can't possibly win, but Bidwill will keep him around until his contract runs out.
Bidwill is a man who is very close with a buck. But he has no pride. He would rather see his team continue to be embarrassed on the field than to dump Bugel while the coach still has time on his contract.
The key to this year's Cardinals roster is not who they brought in, but who they let get away. The loss of Tim McDonald, one of the best defensive backs in football, was devastating. I'm sure McDonald now figures that he escaped from the National Football League's zoo.
@body:What has happened to Jerry Colangelo's search for an impact player to bolster the Phoenix Suns? Unless Colangelo makes the trade for Dennis Rodman or comes up with the dough for A.C. Green, the Suns will come up short again next season.
Or has Colangelo decided to stand pat and build up the profit margin while everyone remains in a state of euphoria over last season?
@body:I heard County Attorney Richard Romley on the Pat McMahon radio show the other day. Romley continues to be the most despicable public servant in memory.
Before the show was over, Romley admitted he plans to become Arizona's governor before his career ends. That's not all. While being interviewed recently by Laura Greenberg for a quietly devastating profile for Phoenix magazine, Romley let it be known that his friends keep urging him to run for attorney general.
Romley's "friends" are no doubt the same lawyers Grant Woods tossed over the side when Woods assumed command of the AG's Office. Is one of them named Barnett Lottstein?
On another note, was Lottstein named Romley's special assistant only to remove Lottstein from a very embarrassing situation?
@body:Dennis DeConcini, like Richard Nixon, insists he is not a crook. Our problem is that we just don't understand Dennis or how deep his desire is to do good and honest work for us.
His wife understands him. She left him. Dennis kept insisting he never knew that his two top aides, Earl Katz and Ron Ober, were as thick as thieves with Charles Keating. John Dougherty's blockbuster article, "DeConcini & Keating," in the July 14 New Times blasted that alibi away for good.
But what about Superior Court Judge Paul Katz? That's Earl Katz's son. Wasn't Paul involved in all those Keating deals, too? How did he end up?
DeConcini's clout got him appointed to the bench by Rose Mofford as one of her final acts as governor. Lovely. Time marches on.
@body:Speaking of judges, let's turn our attention for the moment to Jim Skelly. The rollicking former member of the state House of Representatives was on a talk show the other day. Skelly was asked how he thought J. Fife Symington was doing as governor.
Skelly said he thought Symington was doing an excellent job as governor, and that sooner or later, the voters would realize what a great job Symington had done for the state.
What Skelly forgot to mention was the fact that Symington recently appointed Skelly's son, Chris Skelly, a young man with limited credentials as a lawyer, to the Superior Court bench.
@body:Clint Eastwood is better in In the Line of Fire than he has ever been before. John Malkovich's performance as the assassin is of Academy Award quality. And yet, after seeing this film, I took Of Mice and Men out of the video store and discovered Malkovich in another giant performance as Lenny in the John Steinbeck epic.
Some movies never find their proper niche. Two very good ones that were overlooked in the theatres are now out on videocassette: Used People, with Shirley MacLaine, and The Waterdance.

@body:State Treasurer Tony West raised his porcine head from the muck again last week. By the time the story about the effort by West and his pals to gain control of the $10.5 billion in the state retirement fund surfaced, the oleaginous former legislator was running for cover again.
@body:It is now acknowledged that Richard Romley and his cronies not only botched the AzScam case, but that they have now succeeded in botching the temple murders case, as well. How do you grant immunity to the main man in the killing, one who went on to commit a subsequent murder with another accomplice two months later?
As for the AzScam case, former state senator Carolyn Walker is on her way back out of prison. A juror in the Walker case called Romley on the telephone the other day. The juror had a question that Romley could not answer.
"How come I sat on the jury longer than Carolyn Walker served in jail?

LaPorta putting charge in Tribe's lineup
LaPorta putting charge in Tribe's lineup
When the Indians' 25-year-old first baseman learned of Russell Branyan's recent trade to the Mariners, a move that directly impacted his short-term future in the Major Leagues, how did he react?
"I didn't even see that Russ got traded," LaPorta said. "And when I did, I didn't care. If that's going to make him and the Indians happier, great."
Cleveland has been pretty pleased with LaPorta this week. He entered Friday's action having smashed home runs in each of his past three games -- a stretch that might give some players reason to gloat.
Not LaPorta.
"Success does help with your confidence, but you don't want to get over-confident," he said. "If you get too high, then you can start getting too low. I think you always want to stay on that even-keel."
LaPorta, the key acquisition in the July 2008 trade that sent CC Sabathia to the Brewers, batted .218 with one home run and seven RBIs in 35 games for Cleveland before being optioned to Triple-A Columbus on June 7.
On Sunday, LaPorta rejoined Cleveland knowing he'd be the recipient of regular playing time. He has rewarded the Tribe's faith, at least through five games, hitting .294 (5-for-17) with three homers and five RBIs since his recall.
"It definitely helps knowing that you're going to play pretty much every day," LaPorta said. "It makes those 0-for-4 games a little less hard to take, because you know you're going to come out the next day and have a chance to get your knocks."
Why the sudden power surge from the former first-round Draft pick?
"Nothing's changed," LaPorta said. "I feel like I'm putting my trust and faith more into Jesus. Whatever happens, happens. I'm not going to really worry about anything.
"I feel like I've always been able to hit. It was just a matter of time before I was going to do it."

The paper's Wednesday front-page article on those angry, [1]irritable white people protesting Obama-care [1]at a town hall held by Democrat Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania included a fact-check box: "Frequently Asked [2]Questions [2]," confidently claimingto deliver"Answers to some of the questions that have been asked at public meetings on health care."
Those"answers"turned out to be inconsistent attempts to knock down four evidently false conservative ideas about what Obama-care would entail, including abortion coverage, tax-funded care for illegal immigrants, and end-of-life care for the elderly.
The first two issuesallegedly fact-checked by the Times (delivered as Q&A's) were in fact highly debatable. The questions arein italics:
What if I don't want my health care dollars to pay for other people's abortions?
Abortion opponents say the legislation would use taxes to subsidize insurance that could cover the procedure. Under the House bill, health plans could choose to cover abortion, but they generally could not use federal money to pay for the procedure and instead would have to use money from the premiums paid by beneficiaries.
But an August 5 Associated Press article [3]quoted Douglas Johnson, legislative director forNational Right to Life, calling that a "sham" and "a bookkeeping scheme. The plan pays for abortion, and the government subsidizes the plan."
The second Q&A cited the "death panels" made famous by Sarah Palin.
Will bureaucrats be allowed to "pull the plug" on elderly sick people, or euthanize them? Will there be "death panels" to decide who lives and dies?
No. AARP, the lobby for older Americans, says, "The rumors out there are flat-out lies." The House bill would provide Medicare coverage for optional consultations with doctors who advise patients on life-sustaining treatment and "end-of-life services," including hospice care.
But Washington [4]Post editorial board member Charles Lane [4], no conservative, isn't quite so sanguine about those "optional consultations."
Though not mandatory, as some on the right have claimed, the consultations envisioned in Section 1233 aren't quite "purely voluntary," as Rep. Sander M. Levin (D-Mich.) asserts. To me, "purely voluntary" means "not unless the patient requests one." Section 1233, however, lets doctors initiate the chat and gives them an incentive - money - to do so. Indeed, that's an incentive to insist. Patients may refuse without penalty, but many will bow to white-coated authority.

How to prepare
Preparation Strategy
Make a proper Time Table
It is very important that you make a time table and stick to it and you will have an exact idea of what you are required to study and the time required for it.
Concept clarity rather than rote learning
It is essential that you have a clear idea of the formulas and concepts rather than rote learning of things for the papers. While you might require it for memorizing formulas it is important that for other stuff you make sure you clear your basis and concepts before moving on.
Prepare Notes
It is very important make small notes or a comprehensive list of formulas on each covered topic and chapter which will come in handy at the time of revision. This will require you to be regular with your work but will surely make things easy at the time of revision.
Aspirants should focus on core Engineering topics and theory including those of Engineering Maths. Try and finish all the topics in the next two months. Thereafter, do not touch new topics or comfortable areas. The chief strategy should be to attempt familiar questions and leave non-familiar/non-comfortable questions. Candidates should be able to decide this within 10 seconds.
Speed will be also very critical in the exam. Apart question learning to select a question, candidates should also to reject a question in less than 10 seconds.
Expect some calculation-heavy problems. These questions are meant to be left alone. Give it a try only if are not very close.
Important Instructions

Hello, Ndexter.
(1) Thank you for your kind note.
(2) I am far (VERY far) from being an expert on the subjunctive,
but I think that your sentences are not missing a would.
(3) The subjunctive is very common in some languages, but it is
rather formal in American English. (I hear that our British friends
do not use it so often but that some are starting to because of
American influence.)
(4) She plays. You learned that the third person takes s. Grammar books
call this the INDICATIVE. It is something real. She plays every day.
He is always on time. That is something real, too.
(5) The SUBJUNCTIVE is only an idea. A wish. A demand. But it is not
real. Not yet.
I suggest that she play. I use the subjunctive (in other words, the
form without s) because it is only my suggestion. Maybe she will play
or maybe she will not. (Some native speakers do say: I suggest that she
plays. But that sounds unpleasant to most Americans.)
I demand that he be on time. I used the subjunctive of to be because
it is only my demand. Who knows? Maybe he will say, "I do not care
what you say. I am not coming on time."
(5) If you have more questions about the subjunctive, you can
type "subjunctive" in the search box, or ask any question here.
The teachers at this website are always eager to help you with
any question.
P.S. Would you like to take a little quiz? Please put the INDICATIVE or
SUBJUNCTIVE form in the space. (All present tense)
1. (eat) Tom ___ an apple every day.
2. (eat) Dr. Smith recommends that Tom ___ an apple every day.
3. (do) The teacher insists that my daughter ___ her homework with
more care.
(4) (do) I am very proud of my daughter because she always ___
her homework with great care.
(5) (be) I suggest that Martha ___ here at 8 o'clock tomorrow.
(6) (have) It is important that your son ___ good marks if he
wishes to enter the university.
Answers: (1) eats, (2) eat, (3) do, (4) does, (5) be, and (6) have.
Congratulations!!! I am sure that you did perfectly on the quiz.

Oh Honeybush Orange, why are you all gone now from my collection. Now I will have to do another order. What a hardship!
I discovered this one as a sample two orders ago from The Tea Haus. Since then it is a staple in my collection. It is the most amazing orange tea I have ever had the pleasure of sipping, and whether straight, sweetened, iced, or latte-d, this tea is absolutely amazing. The only reason I didn't covet my last cup of this was because I promised myself I could order again when I got my collection under 50 teas. The end is starting to come into sight!
If you like orange teas, or flavoured honeybushes, give this one a try. I seriously was ever so glad I did!

There are two types of Halloween parades; a day parade and a night parade. I'd prefer to have a night time Halloween parade, held the Saturday night prior to Halloween (not to interfere with trick or treat night on Halloween).
Locally, Little Five Points has a daytime Halloween parade:
One can only imagine the entries in a Dunwoody Halloween parade. Lots of themes to go on. We can have DJ Vermack on a float, mixing Halloween songs and Michael Jackson's Thriller. A group from the DPT can dress up as the Farm House, the BicycleJoe Spandex crowd can do their thing, Farmer Bob can put on his overalls and lead a group of pigs down Dunwoody Parkway, the chicken posse can pull a wheeled chicken coop, someone can dress as the antebellum chimney (coming soon to a Starbucks near you), the kids can dress like their favorite TV and political characters, and the adults can dress as NIMBY's.
I know all the organizations like the Chamber, CVB, Rotary, etc. would take part.
The DHA can get things started, and I officially nominate Heyward as the Halloween Parade Chairman. Honey Boo Boo can be parade marshal and toss out candies to the children of Dunwoody.

Nothing burns time at the end of a long work day better than some good, old-fashioned gadget lust. There are two very good unboxings floating around the web today, the first is a video of the new 8.9-inch Eee PC and then one of Canon's newest iteration of the Digital Rebel, the XSi.
We've covered the Eee PC 900 a number of times, but it is not out for a few weeks here in the US. A number of publications overseas have looked at them already, but with this unboxing you can make believe that you own one. Take notice of that display, it looks way better than the original 7-inch model.
{ad}Next Engadget points us over to a photo unboxing of the Digital Rebel XSi, the replacement of the XTi. This new release of the hugely popular Rebel series brings along a live-view display, higher resolution images, and SD/SDHC memory cards, instead of CF. You don't exactly have to throw your XTi in the trash, but if you are using an original Rebel or looking to upgrade from a point-and-shoot, this could be a great chance.

The Proper Role of Government
Back by popular demand: From Mark Steyn's speech to Hillsdale College:
But forget the money, the deficit, the debt, the big numbers with the 12 zeroes on the end of them. So-called fiscal conservatives often miss the point. The problem isn't the cost. These programs would still be wrong even if Bill Gates wrote a check to cover them each month. They're wrong because they deform the relationship between the citizen and the state. Even if there were no financial consequences, the moral and even spiritual consequences would still be fatal. That's the stage where Europe is.

Seven out of 10 – and that's being generous.
That was daughter #1's eight-word review of a gig she was dragged to by the best band since The Stone Roses.
It all seemed like the perfect storm, The Strypes playing a sell-out show at Manchester Academy 2 on her old man's birthday during half-term.
So we made a night of it, booked a city centre travel tavern for the family and while we had a daddy/daughter evening, the boss and daughter #2 took in a film. There's only one word for that – magic darts.
Both our kids were horrified to see that I'd got gig tickets numbered 0001 and 0002, which makes me 'such a Keeno Beano', apparently.
And as a favour for driving her to Manchester to watch Bastille tomorrow night, through gritted teeth and behind rolling eyes she agreed to join me at the gig.
Sounds great, doesn't it? The only problem was Prince – yep, THAT Prince – was playing an impromptu show 50 yards down the road.
Tickets for which went on sale the previous night and sold out in seconds while me and the boss were at Liverpool's East Village Arts Club watching, er, The Strypes before spending the night at The Beatles-themed Hard Day's Night Hotel – don't worry, we're still rock 'n' roll.
To be fair to the band, whose show sold out weeks before Prince landed, they acknowledged the elephant in the room and lead guitarist Josh McClorey said he was sorry that Prince couldn't be with us, but if he was he'd play this – before the band crashed out Mystery Man, the opening track form their debut album.
Now it would be wrong to say that daughter #1 danced the night away, but she was doing a bit of shoulder shuffling throughout their 90-minute raucous, runaway train, seat-of-their-pants set – and that's good enough for me.
That was a pretty good way to spend a birthday, but the cherry on the icing on the cake was tea in the Hard Rock Cafe when the boss collared the manager to say it was her man's birthday.
So he handed me this thing from the future which lets you pick whatever songs you want to play on the cavernous restaurant's TVs and sound system.
So I did. For an hour.
For all I know I'm dead and last Friday was my first day in heaven.

The Big 12 conference is already home to one mostly overrated football team with its own TV deal so why not just make it two?
News that The Notre Dame university is joining the ACC in all sports but football is yet another ripple in the never ending college realignment saga. How has this happened to The Big East?
Texas director of athletics, and de factor Big 12 commissioner, DeLoss Dodds told Kirk Bohls of the Austin-American Statesman today, "I was disappointed. But I thought if the ACC offered the same things we had offered, they'd take the ACC because Boston College, Syracuse and Pittsburgh are long-term friends. They landed in a great spot."
Click here for the whole story from Bohls.
Even though South Bend, Ind. is not exactly LA and the Irish grow increasingly irrelevant, their football team remains a major catch. Thank NBC for that. Notre Dame football is like much of NBC's other programming - garbage disguised as Must C TV.
The Irish have made it clear they remain better than everyone else, and have no interest in sharing any of their precious NBC money. They shouldn't.
Even though NBC remains heavily invested in sports and needs programming, you do have to wonder how much longer the Irish can remain a national punchline and not be a "big time" program before NBC says, "Let's buy another school." When does the BCS ask, "Why do these losers get a pass?"
If this day ever is to occur, and it may not, Dodds would be wise to keep the lines of communication open just in case. Don't believe any of the contracts that schools sign with conferences these days. There is always an "exit fee" that can either be paid in full, or negotiated down.
The Big 12 has already said it will allow one school to have its own TV deal, so that precedent is set should Notre Dame want its mighty football team to join a league.
Dodds and his friends would be a perfect locale.

Nutrition, obesity, and vending machines
Wed, 10 Feb 2010 04:42:21 GMT —
As a part of the First Lady Michelle Obama's "Lets Move" campaign she calls for better nutrition in schools. Recently the Administration and Congress have began to work on banning low nutrition items from school menus and vending machines.
Texas has been infamous when it comes to obesity levels across the state, but it turns out we may be a little ahead of the nation when it comes to eliminating junk food from school vending machines.
Locally, several school districts including Amarillo I.S.D., Panhandle, Bushland, and Pampa have all pulled these items from menus and vending machines.
The Texas Department of Agriculture took the lead back in 2004 by starting a four year program to get rid of the junk food.
At that point Amarillo school nutrition officials started looking into the issue very seriously and took action.
"We decided as a nutrition department a couple of years ago to take out things like candy bars, things that weren't as nutritionally as sound as other things and replace those with more healthy options," said Brent Hoover, Food Service Director at A.I.S.D.
I also spoke to a child care expert and nutritionist to see how important it is for parents to extend the healthy habits started at school and provide healthy nutritious food at home.
"I think parents set the example, they need to set the example of eating healthy foods making those healthy choices because the kids learn by seeing their parents," said Katie Green, Child Care Administrator YMCA.
The nutritionists we spoke with said that snacking is inevitable; you don't have to ban sweets, but allow them in moderation.
Focus on stocking healthy options like yogurt, pretzels, and peanut butter. They also encourage exercise and family activities along with a healthier diet to help take a bite out of obesity.
For more information on the nutrition programs for the state of Texas, check out the link provided below for the Texas Square Meals website.

Gouda, gemeente (municipality), western Netherlands, at the confluence of the Gouwe and IJssel rivers in a fertile polder district. Chartered in 1272, it was a centre of the medieval cloth trade and was known in the 17th and 18th centuries for its clay pipes (still produced). The city is famous for Gouda cheese, still traded at a weekly cheese market, but now as a tourist attraction. Pottery, stearine candles, and treacle wafers are manufactured, and flax and hemp are processed. Historic landmarks include the Gothic town hall (1449; restored 1947–52), the Weighhouse (1668), and the Grote Kerk (St. John's Church; rebuilt after a fire in 1552), celebrated for its 64 magnificent stained-glass windows (1556–1603). The Moriaan Museum houses a collection of pipes and pottery, and there is a municipal museum. Erasmus received his early education (before 1475) at Gouda and took holy orders at the nearby monastery of Stein. Pop. (2007 est.) 70,953.

Perhaps you've always wondered how public radio gets that smooth, well-crafted sound. Maybe you're thinking about starting a podcast, and want some tips from the pros. Or maybe storytelling has always been a passion of yours, and you want to learn to do it more effectively. Whatever the case—whether you're an avid NPR listener or you aspire to create your own audio, or both—Sound Reporting: The NPR Guide to Audio Journalism and Production will give you a rare tour of the world of a professional broadcaster.
Jonathan Kern, who has trained NPR's on-air staff for years, is a gifted guide, able to narrate a day in the life of a host and lay out the nuts and bolts of production with equal wit and warmth. Along the way, he explains the importance of writing the way you speak, reveals how NPR books guests ranging from world leaders to neighborhood newsmakers, and gives sage advice on everything from proposing stories to editors to maintaining balance and objectivity. Best of all—because NPR wouldn't be NPR without its array of distinctive voices—lively examples from popular shows and colorful anecdotes from favorite personalities animate each chapter.
As public radio's audience of millions can attest, NPR's unique guiding principles and technical expertise combine to connect with listeners like no other medium can. With today's technologies allowing more people to turn their home computers into broadcast studios, Sound Reporting couldn't have arrived at a better moment to reveal the secrets behind the story of NPR's success.
Kern, executive producer for training at National Public Radio (NPR), here consolidates into one volume the training provided to NPR employees. Kern quotes hosts (e.g., Robert Siegel), reporters (e.g., Larry Abramson), and NPR editors and producers to expound on audio journalism as specifically practiced at NPR. Sound reporting, from idea development to the finished news story or interview, gets the full treatment. Kern stresses that radio is a unique environment that dictates a writing style suited to the ear and that may therefore be contrary to print conventions. Along with the reporters and producers, he dissects actual broadcast segments to demonstrate why they were or were not successful. While Steve Warren's Radio: The Book(4th ed.) offers tips on how to get a job in radio, this work describes the interconnected avocations involved in bringing sound reporting to life. Recommended for high school, public, and undergraduate libraries.

Do you feel like you spend more time maintaining your swimming pool than you do enjoying your swimming pool? Then, you should consider an automatic pool cleaning system. There are a lot of products available to swimming pool owners to keep their pools clean without doing it themselves or even hiring someone else to do it. A good answer to your pool cleaning dilemma is a Main Access Power Ionizer. Now, unfortunately, power ionizers do demand some maintenance such as changing the replacement chamber for the Main Access Power Ionizer. But as soon as you see how clean your pool gets and stays, you will be very pleased with your investment.
The Main Access Power Ionizer safely and effectively uses a low DC voltage current to disperse positively charged silver and copper ions into your pool water. Since bacteria, algae, and viruses are negatively charged, they naturally attract and bind to the positively charged ions. This process destroys the bacteria and they are removed from your pool through the filtration system. Running the Main Access Power Ionizer once a week will result in a sanitized pool that no longer requires expensive and harmful pool chemicals.
You will know when it is time for a replacement chamber for the Main Access Power Ionizer, because a light on the chamber will light up. It is necessary to replace this chamber because it contains the positively charged silver and copper ions that essentially clean and sanitize your pool. Depending on how large your pool is and how often you use the power ionizer will determine how long the chamber will last. But generally, the chamber lasts for an entire pool season.
So before you break your back or break a sweat cleaning your pool this season, run and pick up a Main Access Power Ionizer and the replacement chamber for the Main Access Power Ionizer.

It's a close-run thing as Disney's lovable, family-friendly robot pips dapper Colin Firth in the retro spy spoof
Whether or not previews are included, Disney animation Big Hero 6 was the winner of the weekend, just ahead of fellow freshman Kingsman: The Secret Service. The Marvel adaptation took a healthy £3.81m over the weekend, and £4.29m including previews. The last major Disney animation was Frozen, which debuted towards the end of 2013 with £4.70m. (We don't count either of 2014's Tinker Bell features as a major Disney effort.)
An apt comparison for Big Hero 6 might be Wreck-It Ralph, which arrived in February 2013 with £4.53m. Wreck-It Ralph benefited from higher awareness of the arcade game source material, especially among adults. Big Hero 6, which opened in the US last November, has clocked up $218m there and $485m worldwide.
Big Hero 6 still has the whole February half-term holiday ahead of it – a period that should deliver hefty takings every day of the week.
While nobody will be much surprised by the success of the latest Disney animation, the various stakeholders in Kingsman: The Secret Service will be mighty pleased to have given the inflatable robot a run for his money. Kingsman debuted with £3.55m over the weekend, and £4.24m including Thursday previews. That's a big jump from the opening of director Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass, which began in April 2010 with £1.83m plus generous previews of £2.05m.
Distributor 20th Century Fox and producer/director/co-writer Vaughn will now be picking over the details of what went right. First candidate is the release date, since Kingsman offered cinemagoers a fun alternative to the many awards-worthy prestige dramas currently in cinemas. Vaughn is a director who manages to be both broadly commercial and also quite distinctive meaning that Fox could position Kingsman as both accessibly mainstream and something a bit different to what audiences had seen before. There is invariably value in that combination.
Although the film found a berth at all the indie chains – Picturehouse, Curzon and Everyman all played it – it has found its biggest success at multiplex venues, with a very good regional spread across the UK. Top site is Westfield in Shepherds Bush, London (so often the top-performing cinema for a hit film), with Vue West End in second place. But Cineworld Milton Keynes, Cineworld Glasgow, Showcase Bluewater, Cineworld Sheffield, Cineworld Crawley and Odeon Manchester Trafford Centre are all among the top 10 performing venues for Kingsman, and the next 10 includes plex cinemas in Edinburgh, Newcastle, Norwich, Cheltenham, Dublin and Liverpool.Read More,,,

Deputy Mossad Chief Resigns Amid Apparent Internal Squabbles
A vicious struggle has been raging within Mossad, directed against Dagan's deputy.
Another one bites the dust - that is all that can be said about Sunday's announcement on Channel 2 that yet another Mossad deputy chief has resigned. During the unprecedented eight years of Meir Dagan at the helm of Mossad, this is the fourth time that his deputy is deposed or resigns. The latest victim, T., has been on the receiving end twice - once when he was asked to step down, and yet again after he was asked to come back.
A major general in the reserves, who is a close friend of Dagan, outlined an intriguing scenario last night: If Dagan ever agrees to a successor, that person will come neither from the ranks of the Israel Defense Forces nor Mossad.
The preferred candidate for Mossad head is current Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin, whose term ends seven and a half months before Dagan will finish his eighth year in charge of the intelligence agency.
After Hagai Hadas, who was recently placed in charge of the Gilad Shalit file, was pushed out as deputy Mossad chief, T. took over, but was then sent for a two-year stint at the National Security College. Two years later, after Dagan pushed Naftali Granot out in June 2007, T. was brought back. On Sunday it was reported that he had resigned.
Two months ago, Defense Minister Ehud Barak expressed his dissatisfaction with the decision to extend Dagan's tenure for another year. At the time, those close to T. said that if Dagan stays another year, T. was likely to step down.
Ergo, while the media focused on the power struggle between Dagan and Military Intelligence head Amos Yadlin, apparently a much more vicious struggle has been raging within Mossad, directed against Dagan's deputy.
Once, when Dagan was chief of operations at General Staff, he said he enjoyed listening to classical music. This is probably the way he feels about T.: At times he is pleased to have him in Mossad, and then again he wants him out. Perhaps he will do so again - to try to persuade T. to return with a promise that he will be recommended to become the organization's next chief.
T. may be lured, only to be confronted by yet another outbreak of Dagan's deputy-phobia. Even if he remains in the background, he will have to contend with the fact that Netanyahu will likely be pushing for Hadas as his favorite candidate.

Property Lost in Holocaust Is Cataloged OnlineBreaking News
As millions of Israelis paused in reflection on Monday at the sound of the siren marking Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Internet here was buzzing. The first online database of more than half a million pieces of property lost by Holocaust victims, many in Eastern Europe, had just been uploaded as a first step toward restitution.
After years of quiet diplomacy that accomplished little, organizers of the new project, financed by the Israeli government, said the idea was to harness technology in the struggle for restitution and to make as much noise as possible.
"This is an activist approach," said Bobby Brown, executive director of the Holocaust Era Asset Restitution Taskforce, known by its acronym, Project Heart. "We believe there are no secrets anymore about the Holocaust."
Pointing to the success of public drives in the past, like the campaign for Soviet Jewry and the settlement of claims of Holocaust victims by Swiss banks, Mr. Brown said the issue of property restitution had to be out there on Twitter and Facebook, although negotiations with countries where properties were located "do not have to be made public right away."

Kill Paris began his journey into music composition at age 16 learning how to play the guitar, which soulfully reflects in his Future Funk style and bass guitar riffs in his music today.
After receiving his recording arts degree in Florida, he moved to Nashville, TN, the heart of Rock/Country in the U.S. and produced for and performed with several Country music bands/singers. But it was his attraction to electronic music composition that led him into the heart of Los Angeles, California where he currently resides today.
In the summer of 2012 he began to receive attention from some well-known EDM blog sites, testifying his undying love to Lana Del Ray, and earning some highly sot after Features from Dubstep.net, and ThisSongIsSick.com, which helped propel his music into the ears of larger masses. His success in the EDM blog-sphere online helped launch his touring carrier in late 2012 and early 2013, where he's spent the majority of his time traveling and performing for venues and festivals in cities all across the country, including Ultra Music Festival Miami.
While juggling his touring career, Kill Paris has managed to release a 9 track EP on Skrillex's record label, Owsla, and individually release several other official remixes for artists such as Nelly Furtado, and No Doubt. His most recent release, a remix of Rudimental's "Feel the Love", charted #1 on Beatport's Top100 GlitchHop tracks, and also charted on the overall Top100 tracks for all genres.
Expect a 2nd EP due to release in fall of 2013.
Hailing from Southern California, Kennedy Jones is no stranger to bass music stages in the United States. Having had great success with his prior collaborative project which was predominantly Dubstep oriented, his last release was signed to Ultra Records.

With support from artists such as Borgore, 12th Planet, Mt Eden, Luminox, Shift Key, Ookay, and more, he has proved already that his high energy bass-packed tunes can rock dance floors across the world.
Most notably, the recent release of Elvis Crespo's "Suavemente" (Kennedy Jones Trap Remix) on the Buygore All Stars Album
( http://bit.ly/kjsuavemente ) which has recently been played on the Los Angeles based radio station Power 106 and UK based radio station BBC Radio 1 by 12Th Planet ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p013jsw3 ). The album also features a collaboration between Kennedy Jones and Borgore with their 110BPM dance floor smasher remix of "Macarena".
Having started his solo project less than 3 months ago, Kennedy is quickly becoming recognized as the artist to watch in 2013 and keeps supporters wanting more with his versatile productions and live selection.
The recent release of Kennedy's new original Tutch Drap has quickly gained support from notable artist around the world and has currently received air play on BBC1Xtra with Benga and N-Type.

Mr Audity
From Europe to America, clubs to underground warehouse raves, Mr. Audity has been performing since 2009. He hit the hardstyle world by storm in 2011 when his first release charted at number 1 on the Juno Download hardstyle charts and stayed there for 2 weeks. This young producer built his name by showcasing and producing unique American hardstyle tracks, building shows from scratch, and making it clear that hardstyle is alive and growing each day. At the age of 16, he built his own club nights with other local underage DJs, and succeeded in constructing a new, fully underground scene for all the people his age in his city. As he turned older, he started throwing hardstyle parties warehouses and even an airport hangar. Over the course of his career, Mr. Audity has had the honour to share the stage with Hardstyle heroes like the Noisecontrollers, Adaro & Kevin Kaos, as well as artists from all sorts of other genres of electronic music like R3hab, Bingo Players, DJ Irene & Cazette. One thing's for sure - Mr. Audity is a name that you won't forget after you see him create a unique and beyond energetic performance.
Hardphonix is a Hardstyle DJ/Producer currently represented by Denver Hard Dance.
After years of being involved in many other genres of dance music, Aaron Wilson found his home with Hardstyle in 2008. While only listening to the genre for several years, it was in 2011 that Aaron decided a career in Hardstyle is his dream. That year he decided to hone his skills on the decks.
Now, in recent times, Hardphonix can be seen regularly at clubs and events in Denver alongside his fellow Denver Hard Dance members, playing out his own productions and only the best tracks from around the Hardstyle world. Fueled by pounding kicks and massive screeches, Hardphonix's sets include all forms of Hardstyle music, especially Rawstyle. When you see Hardphonix on the books, expect nothing but the best in hard bass!

Even those of us who recognize that cyclists are doing the Earth a service by not driving cars, are more vulnerable than people in cars, and try to be considerate of them on the road, cannot help but feel a pang of irritation when they don't obey the rules of the road such as stopping at stop signs or stop lights and then even if they do, sometimes going through an intersection even when the light is still red.
But Joseph Stromberg says that it makes sense that we should have different rules for cyclists and that Idaho has had such a policy since 1982.
Idaho's rule is pretty straightforward. If a cyclist approaches a stop sign, he or she needs to slow down and look for traffic. If there's already a car or another bike there, then the other vehicle has the right of way. If there's no traffic, however, the cyclist can slowly proceed. Basically, for bikers, a stop sign is a yield sign.
If a cyclist approaches a red light, meanwhile, he or she needs to stop fully. Again, if there's any oncoming traffic, it has the right of way. If there's not, the cyclist can proceed cautiously through the intersection. Put simply, red light is a stop sign.
This doesn't mean that a cyclist is allowed to blast through an intersection at full speed — which is dangerous for pedestrians, the cyclist, and pretty much everyone involved. This isn't allowed in Idaho, and it's a terrible idea everywhere.
This makes sense. Cyclists move more slowly than cars, have much better peripheral vision, and are well aware that they will be the loser in any collision with cars making them more likely to use good sense in going through an intersection.

Favourite barbecue recipes from the Queen Victoria Market traders.
Barbecues and prawns. They're the best of friends when it comes to a super tasty grilled barbecue dish.
In this month's blog from BBQ Workshop, we make a beeline for one of Queen Victoria Market's most prominent seafood traders, Gazza's Gourmet Seafood (below). If anyone knows his crustacean species and their application to the fine art of barbecue, it's Gary Rapley. King prawns, tiger prawns, redspot prawns, banana prawns… take your pick, they're all great grilled over charcoal or a gas flame.
Firstly though, let's tackle a few house rules. Any fishmonger worth their salt will be able to advise you on the best and freshest prawns available for cooking on their lonesome or for inclusion within a larger dish. For successful barbecuing, here are a few tips that make for a magnificent grilling experience.
- Allow the prawns to spend some time out of the fridge before cooking and if frozen, make sure they're fully thawed out. Close to room temperature is about right, although be vigilant on a hot day as crustaceans can go off if left out for too long.
- Keep the marinades to a minimum. They should only serve to flavour the prawns, not overpower the already great natural taste. Treading lightly with a marinade will also prevent your crustacean stewing on the grill rather than cooking through properly. No one likes a soggy prawn!
- A medium flame on a gas grill or reducing the burning solid fuel to embers is best when cooking your average prawn/shellfish species. This allows the food to cook through without charring it to cinders.
- If using a wooden skewer, make sure to soak them for least 30 minutes or so before shoving them through your prawns. Once again, this method will prevent the skewer disintegrating before the seafood is cooked.
So now back to Gazza. One of his favourite recipes that combines the aforementioned amigos (BBQs and prawns) has been adapted from well known seafood chef and food writer Alice Doyle's Fisherman's Wharf Garlic Prawns. We know it's a delicious dish because we cooked it up ourselves while writing this article!
Fisherman's Wharf Garlic Prawns (with a twist)
- 500g green King prawns, shelled, cleaned and split.
- ½ tsp Smoked Yakima Applewood Salt (available from Gewuzhaus, housed in QVM's Dairy Hall)
- 2 tsp crushed black peppercorns
- 2 tsp lime juice
- 1 tbs brandy
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Extra Virgin olive oil
- Chopped parsley
For the marinade, combine the salt, pepper, garlic, lime juice and brandy. Add enough olive oil to make sure the ingredients will stick to the prawns.
Mix well in a non-reactive bowl, add the prawns to the mixture and place in the fridge for approximately 1 hour, making sure the bowl has a lid or is covered with plastic wrap.
Preheat the barbecue grill to medium, remove prawns from the bowl and grill until cooked through.
Remove the freshly cooked prawns from the grill, sprinkle with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lime or lemon. Serve with a good quality sourdough or crusty white bread.
And the best thing about thing about this recipe, apart from getting to chat to the ever-smiling Gazza? 99% of the ingredients are readily available from the market!

text: 2deal2 15 Report post Posted June 16, 2010 Peckham Finishing School for Girls, BBC 3, NOW Four privileged young ladies swap the leafy lanes of the Home Counties for the streets of south London to experience for themselves how life is lived on the other side of the tracks. Stephanie, Serena, Claire and Cat are posh and pampered with virtually no experience of life at the other end of the social spectrum. All they know about Peckham is what they've seen on the news - shootings, stabbings and gang-related violence. Though curious they are understandably nervous. The girls move onto a local council estate and immerse themselves in an alien and unfamiliar world - Peckham's vibrant, multi-ethnic community. Attitudes are further tested when they meet the four local women who have volunteered to act as their personal guides for the week - streetwise Kerri, unemployed Sarah, single mum Lashan and hard-working Aleisha. Bridging the class divide proves tricky, and relations between the posh girls and their Peckham 'sisters' quickly sour. Can the two sides overcome their differences and make it through the rest of the week? Watching? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beijing Style You Can Now Call Your Own
Warrior Footwear Classics
Since 1935, Warrior Footwear has been a household name in China. Known as one of the original sporting shoe brands for Chinese athletes, not much has changed with these shoes despite the years that have passed, except that American's now too have the chance to call a pair their own. That's because two American exchange students studying in China had the sense to bring these novel sneakers back to our shores, to compete in the mix of basic flat bottom street kicks currently dominated by Converse and Vans. So when we got word of Warrior's becoming available in the U.S., we had to snag a pair to see for ourselves just what it was about this brand that inspired the love of countless people overseas.
Designed to be unisex, the current Warrior line consists of four different models that are all comprised of lightweight canvas uppers with flexible rubber soles. For our review, we spent the last month walking around in the Classic model in red/white shown above. Right out of the box we could appreciate this shoe's distinctive looks from the side thanks to the beaming red strips. Under jeans, this flash of red definitely caught the attention of others as we walked, especially in comparison to the sea of strictly white shoes with similar silhouette's tramping NYC's sidewalks.
In terms of comfort, the Warrior's felt fine for the most part even throughout an entire day of heavy walking. However at the tail end we did begin to notice that the narrow toe of the shoes gave our digits a slightly cramped feeling. This is typical though of similarly shaped shoes though, and to combat this, we recommend you buy a pair that is a half size larger for added comfort should your feet stay wide to the tips.
Overall though we couldn't have been more pleased to add a pair of these Chinese classics to our footwear collection. Comfortable enough to walk around on a day of errands, and stylish enough to head straight to the bar with afterwords, they are welcome change that sit snuggly in their own niche between: Onitsuka Tigers, PF Flyers, Chuck Taylors, Jack Purcell's, and Feiyue. So if your the type to dig something different when it comes to your shoes, look no further than Warrior.

Karachi: Veena Malik has revealed that she loves doing women-oriented films and always tries to choose those scripts which are based on the female protagonist.
Malik, who wants to become the super heroin of Bollywood, said that she feels women are strong and can face any competition, the Daily Times reported.
She asserted that she is in the industry to be the voice of women, which is why she doesn`t have a hero in any of her films.

1Now, brothers and sisters, I want you to understand about spiritual ˻gifts˼. 2You remember the lives you lived before you were believers. You let yourselves be influenced and led away ˻to worship˼ idols—things that have no life. 3So I tell you that no person that is speaking with the help of God's Spirit says, "Jesus be cursed." And no person can say, "Jesus is Lord," without the help of the Holy Spirit. 4There are different kinds of ˻spiritual˼ gifts; but ˻they are all from˼ the same Spirit. 5There are different ways to serve; but ˻all these ways are from˼ the same Lord. 6And there are different ways that God works in people; but ˻all these ways are from˼ the same God. God works in us all to do everything. 7Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person. The Spirit gives this to each person to help other people. 8The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom. And the same Spirit gives another person the ability to speak with knowledge. 9The same Spirit gives faith to one person. And that one Spirit gives another person gifts of healing. 10The Spirit gives to another person the power to do miracles, to another person the ability to prophesy, to another person the ability to know the difference between good and evil spirits. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of languages, and to another person the ability to interpret those languages. 11One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things. The Spirit decides what to give each person. 12A person's body is only one thing, but it has many parts. Yes, there are many parts to a body, but all those parts make only one body. Christ is like that too: 13Some of us are Jews and some of us are Greeks ˻(non-Jews)˼; some of us are slaves and some of us are free. But we were all baptized into one body through one Spirit. And we were all given the one Spirit. 14And a person's body has more than one part. It has many parts. 15The foot might say, "I am not a hand. So I don't belong to the body." But saying this would not stop the foot from being a part of the body. 16The ear might say, "I am not an eye. So I don't belong to the body." But saying this would not make the ear stop being a part of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, then the body would not be able to hear. If the whole body were an ear, then the body would not be able to smell anything. 18- 19If each part of the body were the same part, then there would be no body. But truly God put the parts in the body like he wanted them. He made a place for each one of them. 20And so there are many parts, but only one body. 21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the foot, "I don't need you!" 22No! Those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are really very important. 23And the parts of the body that we think are not worth very much are the parts that we give the most care to. And we give special care to the parts of the body that we don't want to show. 24The more beautiful parts of our body don't need this special care. But God put the body together and gave more honor to the parts that need it. 25God did this so that our body would not be divided. God wanted the different parts to care the same for each other. 26If one part of the body suffers, then all the other parts suffer with it. Or if one part of our body is honored, then all the other parts share its honor too. 27All of you together are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of that body. 28And in the church God has given a place first to apostles, second to prophets, and third to teachers. Then God has given a place to those people that do miracles, those people that have gifts of healing, those people that can help others, those people that are able to lead, and those people that can speak in different kinds of languages. 29Not all people are apostles. Not all people are prophets. Not all people are teachers. Not all people do miracles. 30Not all people have gifts of healing. Not all people speak in ˻different kinds of˼ languages. Not all people interpret those languages. 31But you should truly want to have the greater gifts ˻of the Spirit˼. And now I will show you the best way of all.

Racing in brand new shoes is unusual, but it works for local woman
While it goes against conventional wisdom, Dallas' Kathy Fountain will toe the starting line of Sunday's Austin Marathon in brand new shoes.
As a "Royal Ambassador" for Skechers, Fountain frequently races in shoes she's never worn before.
"It's unheard of," said Dallas' Shelley Vatzlavick, a field marketing representative for Skechers Performance Division. "Our shoes are not like traditional running shoes. They don't require a break-in time."
That said, Vatzlavick discourages racing in new shoes, adding that "it goes against every ounce of advice anyone will give you."
Fountain will spend Saturday at the Skechers expo booth in Austin, sharing her insights about the company's products, including its trail and gym shoes.
"It's a gift for someone else to pay for your habit," said Fountain, 48, who says she uses the product even when she doesn't have to.
Distance running became Fountain's focus when she completed her first marathon eight years ago.
"When I crossed that finish line, I felt like I was meant to do this," she said.
She's become known for her ability to recover quickly from endurance events. After finishing the Chevron Houston Marathon on Jan. 19, she spent 16 hours completing the Big Chill Adventure extreme race in Bastrop six days later.
"Kathy's a phenomenal athlete," Vatzlavick said. "She might not always place, but she performs at a high level."
Fountain, who trains at the Cooper Fitness Center and Psycho Gym in Addison, thrives on pushing herself beyond her comfort zone. She also enjoys encouraging others to do the same, whether it's training for a 5K or a sprint triathlon or starting a strength training program.
A stay-at-home mother of two, Fountain also is an AdvoCare distributor. She initially used the health, weight loss and sports performance products herself before turning her passion into a profession. She's often sharing her knowledge about Skechers shoes and AdvoCare's products at the same booth.
After each expo, she looks forward to race day and the opportunity to "learn something new" about herself.
"I love the experience," she said of racing and testing herself. "I'm blessed to have the opportunity to do it over and over. Chasing the dream. I don't really know what I'd do if I actually caught it!"
Austin Marathon re-establishes elite program: After a five-year hiatus, Austin Marathon officials re-instituted a modest prize purse with bonuses totaling $40,000, race founder and executive director John Conley said.
"We took a break from the elite program when AT&T didn't renew its cash sponsorship in 2009," Conley said. "We went into a defensive position and funded things that were mission critical to make the race happen."
Fast forward five years. Sunday's registration will approach 20,000, and Freescale, formerly a part of Motorola, returned as a presenting sponsor, Conley said.
"It was a combination of timing and resources," he said. "It's a small step. We don't pretend to be Chicago or Houston."
Lauren Barnett
Briefly: Pro triathlete Lauren Barnett of The Colony will be racing in Sunday's Ironman 70.3 Panama along with her husband, Brandon Barnett. Another Texas competitor - Lance Armstrong - is registered for the event in Panama City, Panama … Dallas Metroplex Striders will field a junior women's team at Saturday's USA Cross Country Championships in Boulder, Colo. The 6K competitors include area runners Christina Cuellar-Nelson, Avery Culpepper, Laina Ewoldt, Lauren Gibbs, Ashley Johnson and Caylon McMillan.

What are the pros? great all-round onion
What are the cons? none
I had pretty much given up on growing onions in our area, until I found Gold Princess last year. They did great last year, but I thought it was a happy accident. I just harvested my Gold Princess onions today (July 23rd) and they are the best onions I have ever grown! 120 very nice 3" round bulbs, some bigger and only very few smaller. Not one bolted or has a big neck. I started the seeds indoors in mid. February and transplanted outside in mid. April. Last years onions stored well until January when I ran out. After trying many onion varieties with very little success, this is the only onion I will grow from now on. Can't wait to grow more next year.

A recent Public Policy Polling report indicates the political star of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, continues to ascend in light of his marathon speech railing against ObamaCare. When asked whom they would most like to see emerge as the 2016 presidential candidate, more Republicans chose Cruz than any other politician.
Considering the agency's polling also shows the GOP overwhelmingly approves of a government shutdown in the fight to de-fund the healthcare law, Cruz's relentless support of that position has likely aided in his recent popularity spike.
Advertisement - story continues below
Cruz now leads his closes competitor, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., by three points, representing an eight-point gain in support for the Cuban-American conservative. Among the als0-rans named in the poll are New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who received 14 percent of the respondents' support, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 11 percent. One in 10 gave a nod to either Sen. Marco Rubio or Rep. Paul Ryan.
Among those who identify as very conservative, the disparity between potential candidates was more pronounced. Cruz ran away with the win in that contest, attracting twice as much support as his nearest rival Paul.
TRENDING: Video: Black Friday Brawl Shuts Down Entire Mall
Another positive trend for the Republican's conservative base is found in the level of trust the party has in Cruz. Compared to Senate Minority Leader and political squish Mitch McConnell, the GOP trusts Cruz more by a margin of 49 to 13. Respondents embraced similar confidence in Cruz when compared to both House Speaker John Boehner and former presidential candidate John McCain.
These results are encouraging as many frustrated Republicans have long lamented the absence of strong conservative leadership within the party. After a strong Senate win, beating an established candidate in Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, Cruz has not shied away from sometimes difficult political battles.
Advertisement - story continues below
His dedication and resiliency has apparently gained traction as polling shows him to be — at least for now — the clear leader of the Republican party. While that undoubtedly frustrates the career politicians who value compromise over principle, Cruz's unique style is a breath of fresh air for the American people.
