Vice President Joe Biden said Friday that if not for the economic collapse surrounding the 2008 presidential race, Sen. John McCain might have beat President Barack Obama.
"The truth of the matter is, Barack knows it, I know, had the economy not collapsed around your ears, John, in the middle of literally, as things were moving, I think you probably would have won," Biden said during the annual Sedona forum at the McCain Institute for International Leadership at Arizona State University.
"It would have been incredibly, incredibly, incredibly close. You inherited a really difficult time," Biden said to McCain, R-Arizona.
Before turning to the politics of presidential elections, the two former adversaries discussed gun control in the wake of the Newtown shootings, the bombing at the Boston Marathon and expanding human rights. There was no mention of Syria despite recent evidence that the chemical weapon sarin has been used in the country on a small scale.
Responding to a question on whether background checks are necessary, Biden said public sentiment has changed on the issue of gun control despite the Senate's defeat last week of a bipartisan compromise on gun-buyer background checks. The final vote was 54 in favor to 46 opposed with four Republicans joining most Democrats in supporting the compromise. McCain voted for the background check measure, unlike most Republicans.
"For the first time ever, you have people who are for gun safety, for increasing background checks," Biden said. "Two out of three of them say it will be a major determining factor in how I vote. That's the political dynamic that has changed. So I think we're going to get this anyway. I think this will pass before the year is out, within this Congress."
McCain and Biden also touched on the bombing in Boston earlier this month and the investigation into the motives of the two suspects.
"The most difficult one to deal with is the one that is self-radicalized or marginally assisted who is not directed specific by anybody because all of the intelligence apparatus and all of the means by which we have to infiltrate or pick up the kind of signals we are able to pick up with our significant technological capability is rendered almost useless," Biden said, qualifying his remarks that more information is required in the ongoing investigation.
Earlier this week at a memorial service for one of the victims of the Boston bombing Biden said the brothers accused of the attack are "twisted, perverted, cowardly knock-off jihadis" who failed to instill fear in the American people.
The Sedona Forum bills itself as a "high-level conclave" of leaders from the private and public sectors who discuss national security, foreign policy, human rights and economic policies.
Other participants in the forum this year included GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt, Wal-mart President and CEO Bill Simon, former NBA star and humanitarian Dikembe Mutombo and former Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril.
Senators who were slated to attend include Sens. Kelly Ayotte, R-New Hampshire; Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina; and retired Sens. Jon Kyl of Arizona and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.

Many of the hair dye's in the market are not regulated by the government for safety concerns, unlike cosmetics. You should be especially careful with both salon and home dyes. A safer alternative to the unknowns at the salon is doing your own hair coloring treatment. If you're only doing highlights then it is likely that your scalp would not come in contact with chemicals, so it's not as much of a concern. If you are doing more than highlights you should do your best to find a chemical free, odor free or herbal hair salon that caters to customers…

Bubble Ponytail
Heard of a bubble ponytail? 28.09.2013 Two Beautiful Braid Trends to Dress Up Fall and Winter http://www.perfectlocks.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/fishtail.jpg Braids have been in style for the past couple years, and this chic, simple, gorgeous trend isn't going anywhere. One of the greatest things about braids is that the possibilities for creating new and different styles are utterly endless. Weave a few smaller braids in with a down hairstyle, braid side-swept bangs, or create a shapely, thick braid full of texture and volume to make a big statement.
Hair extensions are perfect for braids, because you can weave them into your natural hair to create volume, or you can braid individual straight clip-on hair extensions to create braided headbands or halos.

Fall and winter are the greatest seasons in the fashion world – designers showcase their best pieces, and fashion magazines offer their thickest editions to highlight rich colors, edgy new styles, and show-stopping trends. Fall hair is no different – it's time to bring out the most volume, texture, color, and style to top off this season's gorgeous fashion trends. Texture comes in many different lengths and styles. From crimped hair to steam-permed hair, you can achieve texture in many ways.

Even some of the most well-dressed people in the world don't realize that there's a difference between fashion and style. You can wear all the things that runways and magazines tell you to wear and style your hair in the most trendy fashions, but you still may lack style. Fashion comes from what others say is beautiful, popular, and desirable. It's actually pretty easy to just follow the advice of designers to achieve a look that is fashionable. Style takes fashion a step further and creates looks that uniquely express your personality. In addition, it allows you to choose what you lo 12.09.2013 3 Common Myths About Hair Extensions http://www.perfectlocks.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/extensions.jpg You've seen the way hair extensions can elevate a look by giving fullness to otherwise lifeless hair. Perhaps you've even looked up some articles online or talked to a stylist or friend about getting hair extensions. Still, some concerns may be holding you back from trying out hair extensions, from fusion hair extensions to skin wefted hair. Those concerns are probably valid – it's important to take good care of your hair – but here are a few myths about hair extensions that may help you make your decision.

The rich, dark red color known as oxblood has been popping up in street fashion and on runways alike. It's almost a neutral, but not quite, thought it pairs well with wild prints and adds a touch of dark surprise. This color especially will look perfect with your long colored hair extensions, adding the perfect amount of style to your classic look.

However, when you are trapped at home while it is raining cats and dogs during the last days of summer when in many states the monsoon season hits, it can get rather frustrating. No one likes to go out wrapped in warm clothes and holding an umbrella while trying to stroll through the farmer's market. At the same time, it's not fun being stuck indoors either. Going outside means your beautiful straight hair and straight extensions may get frizzy too, which is not what you prefer for your pretty locks! We need motivating ideas to brighten our rainy days and keep our hair perfect no matter the weather.
Here are a few more tips on how to get through the monsoon season with fashionable tips and tricks, even when we are stuck at home:

In the past, women used to spend lots of money and time sitting in a salon chair to adorn their hair with sexy extensions. Today technology has advanced to the point where high-quality, natural looking extensions are readily available. Try our clip on volumizers or other extensions such as our Fuze Collection to receive ultimate volume and after you've purchased and received your extensions, here's how to add even more sexy volume to your hair.

First either straighten your hair or if your hair dries straight naturally, part in on the side after it is dry. Having your hair straight will make it easier to apply your Queen Collection hair extensions or your other extensions depending on the hair extensions you recently purchased. Then later you can curl your hair if you'd like. Select hair extensions that match your hair in both color and texture. Create a long, side bang. Grab the tools you'll need:
- A back-combing comb
- A few clips to hold hair in sections
- Flexible hold hairspray
- Hair extensions with clips in varying sizes

It's no secret that celebrities wear hair extensions. How else would they achieve that polished, full, voluminous style? In the past, good hair extensions were only for celebrities because of their massive price tag, but today clip-ins and wigs have increased significantly in quality. Still, some individuals have a difficult time envisioning their manes with hair extensions, fearing that their hair will look tacky or fake. Nothing could be further from the truth with good hair extensions.

The braid headband adds some class to your look but also keeps your hair out of your face for those days at the beach when you don't want to deal with it. Still look fabulous at the beach or when you're at the office. This look is perfect when you need a unique style that will turn heads, but you can't spend much time on your hair in the morning.

Especially if you have new hair extensions that you're excited to show off with a hot new outfit! You may not have been thinking that your new hair extensions would have to go with modest work outfits for a new or current job, but the reality is you have to make your wardrobe work the best you can.
Even though the seasons of sweaters and jackets have gone, summer is the season for bathing suits and vacation wear. Autumn is on its way again, so you may be able to wear your jackets soon! Unfortunately, until autumn and winter are here again, most of us can't take off the entire summer for a wonderful vacation, so we have to adapt our wardrobes to the heat.

Depending on your hair type, it may have fallen flat or curved out away from the headband, like floppy Spaniel ears. In adult life, many women shy away from this time-tested accessory, for fear it will make them look too childish, too frumpy, or, heaven forbid, too much like a Spaniel. It's a shame to let such a versatile accessory go to waste. Like most other styles, it's not what you wear but how you wear it.

After Thursday's nominations, Seth MacFarlane can now say he's the Oscars host as well as a nominee.
His song "Everybody Needs A Best Friend" from his film "Ted" earned MacFarlane a nod for his lyrics, with music by Walter Murphy. Talking to a panel of experts on CNN's Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien via satellite after the nomination announcements, the "Family Guy" creator joked about his good fortune.
"It's insane," he said of his nomination. "I don't know how that happens. It's a horrible mistake!"
MacFarlane aimed some jabs during the nominations ceremony (joking that the supporting actress nominees no longer have to be nice to Harvey Weinstein, for example) and said he and the Academy officials are in agreement as to his comedic tone as host.
"There have not been too many outright 'no's'," MacFarlane said. "We are all on the same page in terms of what kind of line we want to walk."
The 85th Academy Awards will air Feb. 24 on ABC.

By Amber HannekenStaff WriterOn the last day of 2009, we look back at the news stories that shaped Choctaw County over the last year. This was a year of opportunities — new businesses opened and construction began on major projects. It was also a year of drug busts as the law cracked down on drug users and producers in the community. The top stories were, as follows:• Jeffrey Pierce arrested on drug charges and 16 area residents busted in a drug sting. • Choctaw Casino Resort opens in Grant bringing numerous jobs to county residents and offering new dining and entertainment options.• Choctaw Wellness Center begins construction. The project was given the OK this year and construction is well under way with the walls and roof installed. The new center will offer health care to members of the Choctaw Nation.• The majority of the Old Glove Factory was demolished to make room for a set of new community pools and the Boys & Girls Club recreation facility. The project is to be completed by May 2010. • Some Messer area residents brought deannexation to the polls this year in a Hugo Schools special election. The district voted no on the issue of converting Messer lands into Rattan School District.• Both Soper Schools and Fort Towson Schools faced Title IX lawsuits in 2009. Soper had to pay $13,000 in legal fees and made changes to its program so girls would not be discriminated against. Official settlement details have not yet been released in the Fort Towson case.

Love Bite (2012)Posted: 5 weeks 3 days ago Werewolf films are pretty rare nowadays and being a fan of the sub-genre I try to see what I can. Regrettably much of what we get is pretty forgettable. Love Bite is really no different, despite trying its hardest to be. Described as part "teen sex comedy," which is actually pretty accurate since it's more of a raunchy comedy that just so happens to have a random werewolf that pops up... |
4bia (2008)Posted: 5 weeks 4 days ago I'm pretty behind on my Asian horror nowadays, but I've always kept 4bia AKA Phobia on my radar since I've heard nothing but positive stuff about it. I finally decided to take a look at it this past Halloween and I'm glad I did, because it's definitely one of the better horror anthologies I've seen recently. 6/10 - "Loneliness" by Yongyoot Thongkongtoon This first entry is a simple... |
Mischief Night (2013)Posted: 5 weeks 5 days ago Mischief Night comes to us from Richard Schenkman whose given us cinema greats such as Playboy: Playmates in Paradise and Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies...*awkward silence*... He's back with Mischief Night, and just in time for Halloween (well sort of). In the film we follow a girl named Emily who suffers from psychosomatic blindness (blind mentally, not physically) and finds herself alone on the... |
All Hallows' Eve (2013)Posted: 5 weeks 5 days ago This has been a movie I've been waiting for since I saw Damien Leone's previous shorts The 9th Circle and Terrifier, which was put him on a lot of people's radar. They were both creative, featured some decent practical and makeup effects and were pretty gory. Not only that, but they featured a mute and very creepy antagonist named Art the Clown. I knew that Leone was planning to incorporate his... |
Odd Thomas (2013)Posted: 6 weeks 18 hours ago Based on a successful series of books from author Dean Koontz (which I've never read), Anton Yelchin stars as Odd Thomas--a young short-order cook who has clairvoyant abilities that enables him to see the dead and malevolent creatures known as "Bodachs" that seem to hover around people that intend to do harm or die imminent or unusual deaths. It seems like just another day for Odd... |
Byzantium (2012)Posted: 6 weeks 21 hours ago After a lengthy hiatus from horror, director Neil Jordan (Interview with the Vampire) returns to the genre with Byzantium--an unconventional and poignant tale of a mother-daughter vampire duo who've been on the run for hundreds of years from a secret vampire organization known as "The Brotherhood." While the genre is starting to finally heal from what Twilight did to the modern... |

A large majority of Americans say the press serves well in keeping prominent leaders "from doings that shouldn't be done," according to a Pew survey released last week. At the same time, however, only one in five (ish) say reporters "get the facts straight," are "pretty independent" and are "fair to all sides" of a story.

Oil capped the longest stretch of weekly advances in more than eight years after reports showed that U.S. hiring and manufacturing expanded last month.
Futures climbed 0.3 percent after the Labor Department said payrolls rose 157,000 in January and the Institute for Supply Management's U.S. factory index reached a nine-month high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1 percent. Brent oil's premium to crude traded in New York widened because of limits on a pipeline linking the Midwest to the Gulf Coast.
"Prices have primarily moved higher on improving perceptions about the economy," said Bill O'Grady, chief market strategist at Confluence Investment Management in St. Louis, which oversees $1.4 billion. "The numbers today show that the economy was a little better than we thought and that's mildly supportive for both oil and the products."
West Texas Intermediate crude oil for March delivery rose 28 cents to settle at $97.77 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Trading at 2:35 p.m. was 64 percent above the 100-day average for the time of day. The weekly gain of 2 percent is the eighth in a row, matching a streak that ended in August 2004.
Brent oil for March settlement increased $1.21, or 1.1 percent, to $116.76 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The contract touched $117.07, the highest intraday price since Sept. 14. Trading was 37 percent higher than the 100-day average.
The European benchmark grade's premium to WTI futures was $18.99. The spread reached $19.60 earlier, the widest since Jan. 4, after narrowing to $14.41 in intraday trading on Jan. 17.
Upward Revisions
The January increase in payrolls follows a revised 196,000 advance in the prior month and a 247,000 surge in November, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington.
The ISM index rose to 53.1 in January from 50.2 a month earlier, the Tempe, Arizona-based group said today. Economists in a Bloomberg survey projected a reading of 50.7 for January, according to the median of 86 forecasts.
The Dow climbed above 14,000 for the first time since 2007 while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 1 percent. The dollar fell as much as 1 percent against the euro. A weaker U.S. currency bolsters the appeal of dollar-denominated commodities as an investment.
The spread between the U.S. and European benchmark grades widened after Enterprise Product Partners LP said yesterday that restrictions at the Jones Creek terminal in Texas will limit flows on the Seaway pipeline that links the Midwest to the Gulf Coast until late 2013.
The pipeline began carrying crude to Houston refineries from the storage hub at Cushing, Oklahoma, last month after the flow direction was reversed. The Brent premium to WTI narrowed on speculation the reversal would relieve a glut in the central U.S.
"The realization that the Seaway reversal isn't the answer to the backlog of supply in the central U.S. is hurting the WTI price," said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital LLC, a New York-based energy hedge fund. "There was a lot of optimism, which has quickly dissipated."
Increasing oil output in the U.S. and Canada and the lack of outlets has bolstered inventories at Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point for WTI. Supplies at the hub rose 284,000 barrels to 51.7 million last week, the Energy Information Administration said Jan. 30, down from the record 51.9 million Jan. 11.
"It looks like the Seaway pipeline restart is not going to happen as quickly as people thought and we still have that glut situation," Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at the Price Futures Group in Chicago. "There is concern that supply is going to back up."
Technical Factors
Oil's rally in New York may accelerate after the formation of a bullish technical formation known as a "golden cross." The 50-day moving average now trades at a premium to the 200-day indicator, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Investors typically buy contracts when a moving average rises over a longer-term one.
"I'm optimistic that we'll continue to move higher," said Bob Yawger, director of the futures division at Mizuho Securities USA Inc. in New York. "We got to a golden cross formation yesterday when the 50- and 200-day moving averages crossed, which is a bullish indicator."
The increase in futures may also gain strength if the price breaches a four-month high of $98.24 a barrel touched on Jan. 30, Yawger said. Prearranged orders to buy oil at specific prices, known as stops, will be triggered if the contract exceeds that level, he said.
"It looks like we will test Wednesday's high of $98.24," Yawger said. "Once we break through that level, stops will be triggered and length will jump in."
Geopolitical Risk
Oil may increase next week as instability in the Middle East and North Africa bolsters concern that shipments will be disrupted, a Bloomberg survey showed. Eighteen of 43 analysts, or 42 percent, forecast crude will increase. Sixteen respondents, or 37 percent, predicted a decline and nine forecast little change.
Electronic trading volume on the Nymex was 716,678 contracts as of 2:35 p.m. It totaled 672,684 contracts yesterday, 32 percent above the three-month average. Open interest was 1.57 million, the highest since Nov. 12.
