The system is a general purpose benchmarking system; not particularly crafted for running WRF. Based on a slightly apples-to-oranges comparison, you will see that QLogic's SPEC MPI2007 submission contains a WRF number (374s) which is _very_ similar to what I reported. This is an indiction that WRF on this system / dataset is not restricted by SDR bandwidth (also, for the record, this is a slightly mix of compilers, Pathscale 3.0 and Intel 9.1, - but they both do a decent job on WRF). >sure, and these are very fat nodes for which a fat interconnect is >appropriate for almost any workload that's not embarassing. but really >I wasn't suggesting that plain old Gb (bandwidth in particular) was >adequate for all possible clusters. I was questioning whether IB >was a panacea for small, cost-sensitive ones... I do not agree that dual-socket, dual-core Woodcrest nodes these days are "very fat". A quad-socket, quad-core is. A quad-socket, dual-core or a dual-socket, quad-core might be considered semi-fat... Hakon

text: Working in their chilly greenhouse last week, Telstar Middle School students in the Greenhouse of Telstar (GOT Farms) program planted a variety of pepper and tomato seeds. The "seed parents" will now care for the plants at home until after April break, because the school greenhouse is still too cold this time of year to start seedlings. After April vacation, the trays of seedlings will return, where they will grow until it is time to transplant them into the garden. Pictured are, from left: Teacher Melissa Prescott, Koley True, and Cassidy Webster. GOT Farms is a service-learning project intended to improve the health of citizens in SAD 44 by using the school gardens and greenhouse to grow food for the Telstar complex, raising awareness of the importance of eating organically and locally, strengthening the "Farm to School" connections and working together with the kitchen staff and the community to bring local foods to the Telstar table more often, and developing partnerships with organizations and businesses in the SAD 44 community. This past year 67 students and 70 adults put in 3,860 hours on the project. For more on the program go to the website at http://gotfarms.wordpress.com/.

By Charles Black | 29 October 2012
(Sen) - Firing paintballs at an asteroid heading toward Earth could deflect its trajectory away from a collision course, according to an innovative proposal by a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The force of being hit by volleys of pellets full of paint would cause an initial shift in the asteroid's trajectory, and once covered in reflective paint the rock would be deflected further off course by the Sun's photons bouncing off its surface.
The proposal comes from Sung Wook Paek, a graduate student in MIT's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. His paper won the 2012 'Move an Asteroid Technical Paper Competition', sponsored by the United Nations Space Generation Advisory Council. Paek presented his paper at the International Astronautical Congress held earlier this month in Naples, Italy.
The competition called for ideas to deflect a near-Earth object such as an asteroid. A large space rock hitting Earth could destroy the planet and scientists are exploring ways to avoid armageddon, a scenario portrayed by the Hollywood blockbuster of the same name. Paek's plan would be for a spacecraft to close in on the rogue asteroid and fire two rounds of paintballs at the rock, the first volley covering its front and the second volley covering its backside in white paint. The pellets would burst apart on impact and cover the asteroid's surface in a fine layer of paint, doubling its reflectivity, or albedo. The initial force from the pellets would bump an asteroid off course, and, over time, the Sun's photons would deflect the asteroid even more.
Paek's idea builds on last year's competition winning proposal to fire solid pellets at a threatening asteroid. The addition of paint to the mix would provide additional course alteration by the solar radiation.
As a test case for his theoretical study, Paek used the asteroid Apophis, due to fly within 30,000 km of Earth in 2029 and again in 2036. Apophis, which has a diameter of 1480 feet (about 300 metres) would need 5 tonnes of paint fired at it, according to Paek's research. After being covered in paint it would then take an estimated 20 years for the solar radiation pressure to knock the asteroid off course.
Lindley Johnson, of NASA's Near Earth Objects Observation Program, said "It is very important that we develop and test a few deflection techniques sufficiently so that we know we have a viable 'toolbox' of deflection capabilities to implement when we inevitably discover an asteroid on an impact trajectory".
Discovered in 2004, Apophis will pass within 29,450 km of Earth in 2029. However, there is some uncertainty about how close it well come on its second encounter in 2036, and Russia announced in April this year they intend to send a probe to the asteroid to try and find out. To be launched in 2015 the radioisotope powered satellite would aim to discover Apophis's exact trajectory.

10 Things You Must Know About Social Security
You can't control how the government might fix that problem. But you can educate yourself about Social Security to ensure that you claim the maximum amount of benefits to which you are entitled. Here are ten essentials you need to know.
By Rachel L. SheedySee my bio, plus links to all my recent stories.
Follow @KiplingerRetire
10 Things You Must Know About Social Security
It's an Age Thing
Besides avoiding a haircut, waiting until full retirement age to take benefits can open up a variety of claiming strategies for married couples. (More on those strategies later.) Age also comes into play with kids: Minor children of Social Security beneficiaries can be eligible for a benefit. Children up to age 18, or up to age 19 if they are full-time students who haven't graduated from high school, and disabled children older than 18 may be able to receive up to half of a parent's Social Security benefit. It's an Age Thing
10 Things You Must Know About Social Security
How Benefits Are Factored
Your benefit is based on the 35 years in which you earned the most money. If you have fewer than 35 years of earnings, each year with no earnings will be factored in at zero. You can increase your benefit by replacing those zero years, say, by working longer, even if it's just part-time. But don't worry -- no low-earning year will replace a higher-earning year. The benefit isn't based on 35 consecutive years of work, but the highest-earning 35 years. So if you decide to phase into retirement by going part-time, you won't affect your benefit at all if you have 35 years of higher earnings. But if you make more money, your benefit will be adjusted upward, even if you are still working while taking your benefit.
There is a maximum benefit amount you can receive, though it depends on the age you retire. For someone at full retirement age in 2013, the maximum monthly benefit is $2,533. You can estimate your own benefit by using Social Security's online Retirement Estimator. How Benefits Are Factored
10 Things You Must Know About Social Security
COLA Isn't Just a Soft Drink
Because the COLA is calculated based on changes in a federal consumer price index, the size of the COLA depends largely on broad inflation levels determined by the government. For example, in 2009, beneficiaries received a generous COLA of 5.8%. But retirees learned a hard lesson in 2010 and 2011, when prices stagnated as a result of the recession. There was no COLA in either of those years. For 2012, the COLA came back at 3.6%; for 2013, the COLA is 1.7%. The COLA for the following year is announced in October. COLA Isn't Just a Soft Drink
10 Things You Must Know About Social Security
The Extra Benefit of Being a Spouse
The calculation changes, however, if benefits are claimed before full retirement age. If you claim your spousal benefit before your full retirement age, you won't get the full 50%. If you take your own benefit early and then later switch to a spousal benefit, your spousal benefit will still be reduced.
Note that you cannot apply for a spousal benefit until your spouse has applied for his or her own benefit. The Extra Benefit of Being a Spouse
10 Things You Must Know About Social Security
Income for Survivors
If you remarry before age 60, you cannot get a survivor benefit. But if you remarry after age 60, you may be eligible to receive a survivor benefit based on your former spouse's earnings record. Eligible children can also receive a survivor benefit, worth up to 75% of the deceased's benefit. Income for Survivors
10 Things You Must Know About Social Security
Divorce a Spouse, Not the Benefit
Like a regular spousal benefit, you can get up to 50% of an ex-spouse's benefit -- less if you claim before full retirement age. And the beauty of it is that your ex never needs to know because you apply for the benefit directly through the Social Security Administration. Taking a benefit on your ex's record has no effect on his or her benefit or the benefit of your ex's new spouse. And unlike a regular spousal benefit, if your ex qualifies for benefits but has yet to apply, you can still take a benefit on the ex's record if you have been divorced for at least two years.
Note: Ex-spouses can also take a survivor benefit if their ex has died first, and like any survivor benefit, it will be worth 100% of what the ex-spouse received. If you remarry after age 60, you will still be eligible for the survivor benefit. Divorce a Spouse, Not the Benefit
10 Things You Must Know About Social Security
It Can Pay to Delay
While a spousal benefit doesn't include delayed retirement credits, the survivor benefit does. By waiting to take his benefit, a high-earning husband, for example, can ensure that his low-earning wife will receive a much higher benefit in the event he dies before her. That extra 32% of income could make a big difference for a widow who has lost her husband's stream of Social Security income.
One option for a spouse who is delaying his benefit but still wants to bring some Social Security income into the household is to restrict his application to a spousal benefit only. To use this strategy, the spouse restricting his or her application must be at full retirement age. So the lower-earning spouse, say the wife, applies for benefits on her own record. The husband then applies for a spousal benefit only, and he receives half of his wife's benefit while his own benefit continues to grow. When he's 70, he can switch to his own, higher benefit. Exes at full retirement age can use the same strategy -- they can apply to restrict their application to a spousal benefit and let their own benefit grow. It Can Pay to Delay
10 Things You Must Know About Social Security
File and Then Suspend
To make that happen, the husband, who must be at full retirement age, can file for his benefits and then immediately suspend them. Because he has applied for benefits, his wife can now take a spousal benefit based on his record. And because he suspended his own benefit, his benefit will earn delayed retirement credits for each year he waits until age 70. File and Then Suspend
10 Things You Must Know About Social Security
Uncle Sam Wants His Take
As a result, it doesn't take a lot of income for your benefits to be pinched by Uncle Sam. For example, a married couple with a combined income of more than $32,000 may have to pay income tax on up to 50% of their benefits. Higher earners may have to pay income tax on up to 85% of their benefits. Uncle Sam Wants His Take
10 Things You Must Know About Social Security
Passing the Earnings Test
But the good news is that any benefits forfeited because earnings exceed the limits are not lost forever. At full retirement age, the Social Security Administration will refigure your benefits going forward to take into account benefits lost to the test. For example, if you claim benefits at 62 and over the next four years lose one full year of benefits to the earnings test, at age 66 your benefits will be recomputed -- and increased -- as if you had taken benefits three years early, instead of four. That basically means the lifetime reduction in benefits will be 20% rather than 25%. Passing the Earnings Test

- Lukoil has said it wanted to sell its 20% stake in the Russian Junin-6 consortium developing heavy oil in the Orinoco basin to focus on other projects; consortium leader Rosneft apparently made a low-ball offer, and Lukoil has since held talks with Cnooc (CEO), Sinopec (SNP), Statoil (STO), Chevron (CVX), Total (TOT) and various state-run firms.
- The Russian consortium owns a 40% stake in the project; Lukoil's stake in the consortium is said to be worth ~$200M.

Tuesday, Nov 262:28 PMWSJ: Sinopec talks with Apache about stake in LNG project
- The LNG project on Canada's Pacific coast - known as Kitimat - is one of several Sinopec (SNP -1.6%) is looking at in that region, according to a source, and management has yet to sign off on the investment. The size and value of the stake hasn't been determined, but the investment would go towards the project's costs, which Apache (APA +0.8%) last year pegged at $15B.
- "Apache is moving forward with the project, and we're looking for partners," says an Apache spokesman, declining to comment on the talks, though he does say the cost of the project is being recalculated.

Wednesday, Nov 209:49 AMB.C. minister says Sinopec in talks for Canadian LNG project site
- Sinopec (SNP) is in serious talks on a site for a potential liquefied natural gas export terminal in British Columbia, according to the province's Minister of Natural Gas Development, who did not name any partner involved in the discussions or identify sites where the parties were looking.
- Asia's largest refiner would join a growing list of major global energy players, including Shell, Chevron and Petronas, all racing to build facilities to ship cheap Canadian gas to Asian markets.
- The minister also said talks with companies on B.C.'s new natural gas export tax would continue for about a month longer than expected, though he expects to have the details of the tax nailed down by year end.

Monday, Oct 289:56 AMSinopec field could reignite China shale hopes
- Sinopec (SNP -0.9%) is for the first time pumping shale gas from test wells in commercial quantities in what it hopes will be a breakthrough in the development of a badly needed new energy source.
- SNP's Jianghan unit has more than doubled its 2015 output target for the key shale area of Fuling in southwest China after successful pilot drilling, hoping to cut costs through measures such as drilling numerous wells at once and recycling fracking liquids.
- Six of nearly 30 pilot shale gas wells in the Fuling area reportedly are pumping a daily combined rate of 1.06M cubic meters of gas, which has led SNP to target an annual production capacity to be built at the field of 5B cubic meters by the end of 2015.

Friday, Oct 257:59 AMIn rare China sale, Sinopec seeks partner in Canada shale
- Sinopec (SNP) says it wants to sell half of its two biggest shale gas acreages in Canada to spread costs and accelerate their development, since the drilling needed to monetize the resource is too heavy for it to handle alone.
- SNP is looking for an equal equity partner for Montney and Duvernay, two shale gas plays totaling ~500K acres in western Canada whose combined recoverable reserves are believed to total in the tens of trillions of cubic feet.
- A sale of an overseas asset would be a rare move for one of China's state-owned energy companies, which have spent hundreds of billions of dollars investing in hydrocarbon resources from North America to Australia to secure China's energy needs.

Monday, Oct 2110:33 AMRepsol drops out of today's Libra auction
- Repsol (REPYY, REPYF) is the latest oil major to say it won't participate in today's auction for exploration and production rights to Brazil's huge Libra oil field.
- Repsol had considered making a bid through the Brazilian joint venture it owns with China's Sinopec (SNP).
- Major major oil companies declined to participate, worried that government rights to dictate investment and development decisions will turn the tens of billions of dollars needed to explore and develop Libra into a loss; remaining bidders are dominated by Chinese and other Asian state oil companies.
- The auction has been criticized by many Brazilians concerned that the country's wealth is being handed over to private-sector companies; Brazil's government deployed more than 1,000 troops around the Rio de Janeiro hotel where the auction will take place.

Tuesday, Oct 86:51 PMIcahn's stake in Talisman Energy is greeted with skepticism
- Talisman Energy (TLM) wound up tumbling 2.3% today despite Carl Icahn's disclosure of a 6% stake, suggesting skepticism that he can accelerate a corporate turnaround that may have stalled.
- TLM has "been at it for a year, so the idea that an activist investor, no matter how aggressive, is going to surface value faster, I think it's a bit of stretch," says a portfolio manager at First Asset Investment.
- An anticipated breakup or an outright sale is complicated by TLM's joint venture agreement with Sinopec (SNP) in the U.K. North Sea, RBC analyst Greg Pardy says; SNP last year bought a 49% interest in TLM's U.K. division for $1.5B, and a sale of TLM's remaining interest requires SNP's consent.
- Asset sales in western Canada have cooled considerably since last year's frenzy, so potential sales of TLM's Duvernay and Montney holdings could be "a longer grind."

- Singapore's sovereign wealth fund Temasek and Chinese refiner Sinopec (SNP) have approached Repsol (REPYF.PK, REPYY.PK) over its €4.7B ($6.4B) stake in Gas Natural, FT reports.
- Repsol has said it was considering disposing of the stake because the agreed sale of its liquefied natural gas business to Royal Dutch Shell, due to close this year, diminishes the holding's strategic rationale.
- No final decision has been taken and Repsol has received interest from other parties, according to the report.

What might architects learn from neuroscience that would help in designing better nursing homes and other facilities for the aging, particularly people with Alzheimer's disease? When the brain is impaired, the environment can make it easier or harder to find one's way, remember habits such as how to get dressed, interact socially, eat enough to be nourished, and even to walk safely outside. Coupled with existing knowledge about the brain, answers to research questions identified by participants in a recent interdisciplinary workshop should one day guide the design of facilities that will improve life for people with Alzheimer's and perhaps for all of us as we age.
In Elegy for Iris, John Bayley's poignant memoir chronicling life with his wife, Iris Murdoch, as she struggled with Alzheimer's disease, the author writes, "Alzheimer's is, in fact, like an insidious fog, barely noticeable until everything around has disappeared. After that, it is no longer possible to believe that a world outside the fog exists."
Alzheimer's disease, a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative brain disorder, currently affects more than five million Americans. The disease causes formation of plaques in the brain's cortex, and leads to degeneration of neurons, a reduction in key neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, and a loss of synaptic activity—the means by which neurons communicate. This brain atrophy causes symptoms that begin with simple memory loss and gradually advance to widespread, persistent cognitive impairment that may include problems with critical reasoning and sensory perception, general confusion, and social withdrawal. Because of this overwhelming loss of function, people with the disease will eventually need round-the-clock care, often provided by nursing homes or assisted-living facilities. Even the best of these facilities, however, can be a tremendous adjustment for people struggling with the disease, as well as for their families.
But what if we could create assisted-living spaces for people with Alzheimer's that could make life easier despite the "insidious fog"? What if, by bringing together knowledge of architectural design and knowledge of what goes on inside the brain of the person with Alzheimer's, we could design buildings and interiors that will help people stay more capable over longer stretches of time, remember the outside world, and successfully interact with it? Furthermore, what kind of brain research is needed as a basis for creating facilities that will make the adjustment from home to a care facility less stressful for the patient? To begin asking the questions that could jump-start this process, the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture (ANFA) held an interdisciplinary workshop, "Neuroscience of Facilities for the Aging and People with Alzheimer's" in late November 2006. (To read more about ANFA, see "Architecture with the Brain in Mind.")
"Right now, not very much knowledge is available in neuroscience that is applicable to the design of facilities for people with Alzheimer's," says John P. Eberhard, FAIA, founding president of ANFA. "Ninety-nine percent of research in neuroscience is oriented towards disease and the ramifications of that disease. Practically no one looks at research that could be used to improve the facilities such people live in. We're trying to encourage that to happen."
Over three days in Washington, D.C., two dozen prominent neuroscientists, architects, and experts on Alzheimer's disease and aging came together to discuss how to promote neuroscience research that will eventually have tangible application to designing nursing and assisted-living facilities. In this article, we focus mainly on Alzheimer's disease, but the lessons learned with this disease can be applied to the aging population as a whole.
"The purpose of the workshop was to create hypotheses that potentially can be tested in neuroscience laboratory conditions and eventually yield results that architects can use in design," says Eberhard. To that end, participants formed small working groups focused on specific issues, among them physiology and physical ability, memory, sensory perception, and cognitive mapping. Each working group developed a series of hypotheses that, if tested, might have great impact on how architects and designers determine design criteria for assisted-living spaces in the future.

D-xylose absorption is a laboratory test to determine how well the intestines absorb a simple sugar (D-xylose). The test helps determine if nutrients are being properly absorbed.
Xylose tolerance test
The test requires a blood and urine sample. For information on how these samples are obtained, see:
There are several ways to perform this test. A typical procedure is described below, but make sure you follow the specific instructions you are given.
You will be asked to drink 8 ounces of water that contains 25 grams of a sugar called D-xylose. Two hours later, you will have a blood sample collected. You may also need to give blood again after 5 hours. Your urine sample is tested 8 hours later. The amount of urine you produce over a 5-hour period is also determined. Your health care provider will tell you how to collect all of the urine during a 5-hour period.
Do not eat or drink anything (even water) for 8 to 12 hours before the test. Do not exercise before the test. A failure to restrict activity may affect test results.
Your health care provider may tell you to stop taking certain drugs that can affect test results. Drugs that can affect test results include aspirin, atropine, indomethacin, isocarboxazid, and phenelzine. Never stop taking any medicine without first talking to your doctor.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Urine is collected as part of normal urination with no discomfort.
Your doctor may order this test if you have:
This test is especially useful in determining if nutrient absorption problems are due to a disease of the intestines or a disease of the pancreas.
A normal result depends on how much D-xylose is given. Usually the test results are either positive or negative. A positive result means that D-xylose is found in the blood or urine and is therefore being absorbed by the intestines.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Lower than normal values may be seen in:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
Multiple tests may be necessary to determine the reason for malabsorption .

One of the largest National Guard installations in the United States is located just outside Hattiesburg, Mississippi, with land owned by the Departments of the Army and Defense, and the U.S. Forest Service.
Home to some of the state's rarest plants and animals, a cooperative agreement between the Conservancy and the U.S. Army allows scientists to study these species and their habitats, and to work alongside Camp Shelby personnel to remove non-native species such as cogongrass and fire ants.
Conservancy staff perform field surveys for rare species and communities, evaluate habitat quality and implement research projects and monitoring to improve management strategies for rare, threatened and endangered species. Staff research how prescribed fire affects habitats, gopher tortoise behavior, how military activities affect gopher tortoises, and much more.
Most of Camp Shelby is covered by longleaf pine forests, which cover only three percent of their original locations across the southeastern U.S. In addition, rare beech/magnolia slope forests and pitcher plant wetlands are home to rare plant and animal species.
Louisiana quillwort--a plant species listed as endangered--is found along area streams. The Mississippi Heritage program documented over 80 plant species considered rare within the state, and Camp Shelby is also home to several state champion trees: slash pine, sweetbay magnolia and redbay. The location is also home to over 20 species of orchids and more than five types of magnolia.
Other common plants include:
Gopher tortoises, a federally threatened species, dig burrows used by over 300 types of animals. The black pinesnake has been found in only 14 southern counties.
Other animal species of interest include:
More common residents of Camp Shelby include bobwhite quail, white-tailed deer, black racers, coyotes and Eastern coachwhips.
Conservancy staff members work closely with the Mississippi Army National Guard, U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Mississippi Natural Heritage Program, Mississippi State University, University of Southern Mississippi and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Bull! No one will ever convince me that this election wasn´t stolen. Look at the numbers in Pt. St. Lucie and Philly. Lets face it folks, we are dealing with an evil regime that will never give up power. Oh, by the way, it helps when you have 95% of the national media covering you ass.

What post 3 said. Plus the GOP is fractionalized. Rinos like Christie cause friction, but conservatives are well advised to back off rinos at least in short term, as guys like like Christie and Scott Brown are as good as it can ever get in places like NJ and MA. Furthermore the rejection of Lugar and nomination of idealogues in Indiana and Missouri clearly cost us 2 senate seats. Although the tea party did us some good, it needs to be reigned in.

You all said it for me....massive voter fraud. Ulsterman has a video of a man testifying under oath how elections could be stolen and no one would ever know. No doubt in my mind this is what happened. The numbers don´t add up, and the crowds showing up at campaign stops don´t add up. RR packed the house, ob played to 1/2 filled venues. Something really stinks here, electronic voting needs to go. WAY too easy to mess with. And mess they did. IMHO. Click Here if you Like this Comment
The election was "won" because the Democrats concentrated their "efforts" on ghetto inner city polls where there are no Republican poll watchers or the ones that do go,like I did in inner city Cleveland are thrown out for nothing. That way the poll workers who are paid and the Democratic "observers" are free to pack the ballot box by helping people vote which I witnessed. I called the Romney legal department all day but really don´t blame them it was so widespread. The Dems have figured out every Presidential election is won in the 11 swing states, start screaming in July about how not extending early voting is racist which is another great way to harvest votes using names on the voter list and getting someone to vote for that person. I believe they calculate how many votes it will take to carry the swing states and start stepping. Until more Republicans are willing to poll watch in the ghetto in the swing states I don´t see a Republican president again. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Enough already with the post-election autopsy!!! It is what it is, and we´re stuck with it. We´ll either survive this Marxist regime as a people and a nation, or we won´t.If we don´t [and I think don´t], then we´ll have to do what we´ve done before: pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and rise from the ashes.I refuse to believe that a Halfrican Marxist can really "ruin" the nation. He can do damage --a lot of damage, but he can not sink up. Click Here if you Like this Comment

I agree #9. The GOP is simply out of the loop. The Dems are smarter, faster and more conniving. Of course, it helps to have the MSM in your back pocket. I too can not see a republican in the WH again. It`s like trying to climb a mountain with no equipment. When hard work is frowned upon and free stuff becomes the norm all is lost.

He is stupid beyond belief and is surrounded by crooks just as stupid. The dims will turn on him in a minute if they do not get their freebies and pats on the head.

Guys, STOP with the BS about conservatives "not getting out there" or "off message" or we had a "weak, non-conservative candidate"or "real conservatives didn´t vote".We lost because we have a tipping point of producers and takers; couple that with blacks voting the race line and latinos voting for who they think will give them amnesty and freebies, along with of course women voting with their sex organs, and you have a win.Why is that so hard to accept? Some of you sound like you just got beaten up by the bully, so let´s analyze what we did wrong and appease the bully next time? The problem is the bully, not your "message".You don´t like it? Yell at your neighbor. They´re the ones that pulled the lever to put this guy back into office. Attend no concert, no movie, nothing put out their by liberals. Really want to pi$$ them off? Love your kids and go to church. Win in spite of the government, not because of it.And most of all, put the blame where it belongs. Everything else is BS to fill space and air time.

After World War I, the German people came to believe the "stab in the back" myth, which went like this: "We didn´t lose the war. We were on the verge of victory when opportunistic politicians stabbed our military leaders in the back by negotiating an unnecessary armistice and betraying their country." Although false, the myth was widely promoted by self-serving Generals and believed by the German people. This myth polluted German culture for a generation and doomed any effort to base German politics on reality in the inter-war years.I do not deny that Democrats cheat; I do find it implausible that their cheating concealed a massive Romney victory. For months polls showed Mitt losing in the swing states. The Romney Campaign ran on the assumption that these polls, based on 2008, were incorrect. Everything Team Romney did wrong was based on the delusion that they were secretly winning. And then they bungled the Get Out The Vote operation. In reality, Romney got fewer votes than McCain. The Romney Campaign literally had no campaign slogan. Look at the posters. No message on the air, and a mess on the ground. The only good thing about mistakes is you can learn from them. If you´re smart. Click Here if you Like this Comment
#3: I agree with you. If the Republicans can´t attack fraud immediately and get a fair election up in four years then ground game won´t matter. This election was absolutely stolen. CO had ten counties with more than 100% voter participation that went 100% for Obama. Philly had similar. FL had it, and I don´t doubt VA had it as well. OH definitely had it. Those were states Romney could have (and should have) won and that would have won the election. Very shady stuff.It will take a massive effort to clean up our elections. The UN, of all people, actually handed us a good weapon in their shock at our loose election standards. Take it and clean this mess up. Click Here if you Like this Comment

I noticed that the Romney people were wasting a lot of time and money in contacting, over and over again, the same supporters.I have been a Romney contributor since 2008. They had to have known that I was a sure vote. I got tons of emails from them, phone calls for contributions and phone calls to urge me to vote. All of that was wasted. They should not have spent one second of their time on me. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Close to 8 million voter abandoned 0bama this time. Romney couldn´t field one single one of them. Instead lost 3 million that turned up for McCain. That is pathetic. 23% of an all adult poll (roughly 210 million) identified themselves as Tea Party members or supporters. That is a staggering 48 million people. If the Leadership hadn´t spent two years busily alienating these people none of this would have happened. Click Here if you Like this Comment

I beg to differ! 3+ million Republicans decided to stay home and not vote. Its not the candidates responsibility to get your sorry fat behind to the polls...it´s YOURS.To the millions of so called Republicans, congratulations.......you sold out the country, it´s veterans and fellow patriots for "principle". Congratulations!The only people that irritate me more than stupid Obama voters are republicans that cant pull the lever for a Mormon......or for a candidate that isn´t conservative enough for them. Followed by the libertarians who threw away their vote for legalized pot and and end to an alliance with Israel.CONGRATULATIONS!!! Now we are forever stuck with an ever expanding welfare state.

The Repubs didn´t lose because of a "misallocation of resources by Republican donors". They lost because of a population of young women and college students who know about as little as anybody, under-ducated, underemployed and undermotivated people who wanted cell phones, etc. (These shall be known as career Democratic voters),closet Mormon haters, klunks who stayed at home (you knows who you is),and half fast jackasses who voted for third party candidates, such as Bugs Bunny.Truly, we are at the mercy of knaves and idiots.Additional moral: If you don´t vote and they do, they will win.

What 15 said. Curious if the Ron Paul voters showed. There were evangelicals that had a problem with Romney. Lots of true conservatives wouldn´t vote for what they saw as a moderate candidate. Is it true that 20 million pubbies stayed at home? My gut feeling is no Washington politician is going to fix things. It will take a grass root movement. Click Here if you Like this Comment

We are always going to be behind the 8 ball when we have a corrupt media. I´m sure you all have noticed that FEMA´s pathetic response to Hurricane Sandy has not been scrutinized, nor Obama blamed. We have only heard about how the hurricane helped him win reelection. Gov. Cuomo actually lauded FEMA´s response and he has received no criticism that I know of. Joe Biden can say the stupidest things and it´s just Joe being Joe. I know it is pointless to whine about it, but it is the truth. I remember when a friend´s son was forced into a divorce by an adulterous spouse. The young man was heartbroken and depressed and my friend told me he knew his son wouldn´t start healing until he got angry. He finally did and then he got over it. We are like that young man. We are lied about (Republicans hate immigrants) laughed at, marginalized and we just take it. Our leaders continue to be polite and wait their turn. They never call their opponents liars. At some point they and we will have to find our righteous indignance and fight back every time we´re attacked. Click Here if you Like this Comment

To make it worse, I was told by a Mormon yesterday not to think all Mormons voted for Romney either. She had been telling me at various times last year that more Mormons are liberal-minded in her stake than I might ever believe. So, there is plenty of blame to go round.

A Cleveland 3rd grader, who weighed 200 pounds was taken from his mother after she failed to get him the help he needed to lose weight. She says she loves her son and is trying to embrace his new healthy lifestyle, but it's hard. Investigators became aware of the boy when he was taken to the hospital with trouble breathing because of sleep apnea.
Should the mother lose custody of the boy? Should he be taken to foster care? Does it make a difference that the woman's 90 pound 3 year old was also taken into state custody years ago?
