Welcome to another edition special report on line I'm Bret -- if you haven't been here before welcome aboard this is where you can.
Type in comments asks questions to the panel.
And also vote on some of the polls that we're scrolling along here.
We obviously are not finished because Steve has more to -- -- About.
The -- The comment you didn't build that we're gonna -- my third shot at the apple here.
Bite of the apple let's bring in our Kelsey Hayes senior editor with the standard Casey -- we welcome first online show national political.
Reporter for the Associated Press of course syndicated comes Charles -- Okay Steve.
And we're gonna do.
We're going to break up this much time for that -- him.
Let's start at the beginning yes and stop it out there okay.
If you've been successful you don't even get -- on your.
Don't know that I'm always talk about people who think well -- most because I was just so Smart.
There must.
-- was the second out there but.
That part to keep going to second round.
-- -- -- You find that part I -- that part very problematic for the president I think that's where his problems began.
Exactly the -- I mean you're used to hearing that kind of an argument I've heard that kind of an argument before but it's been you know.
In a graduate seminar somewhere in in ivory tower and you know would that hard work and -- in effect does -- matter or doesn't matter as much as what he's about to list which is.
Roads and bridges and all of these things that the government does so that's where I think his his problem starts and that is why whenever we think about the sentence that we're going to play.
The Obama campaign has a tough sell.
-- says love me some Steve -- so you've sold her OK that green eyed lady says I understand you Steve your crystal clear.
Next sentence please play it.
-- -- someone in your life.
That's unbelievable American system that we have not allowed beautiful.
So don't keep on keep on roads and bridges you can ambassador roads and bridges -- you got a business.
Okay where it's tough to stop start that's the part where the Obama campaign says there's just it is theory -- government roads government helped you create your business he didn't do it by yourself.
Well I think.
-- -- people can disagree over exactly what.
It was -- trying to say but in the greater context Obama is no question articulating a fundamentally different emphasis on.
What we should look for in our economy then candidate probably is who starts from the other side and focuses on people who are.
Entrepreneurs and innovators in dreamers he likes a column because now this Charles -- just.
-- a little bit further but he starts if you've got a business.
-- -- -- -- Yeah.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- So that all the companies Goodman.
The point is is that when we succeed.
We succeed because ordinary individual initiative but also because we do things together.
And get it's hard to know where to start don't throw -- a true reality.
-- interpretation of how the end is created he says so that other people can make money off it.
It is exactly how government centered individuals would look at that in fact it was -- in the defensive department as a way for scientists to communicate.
With each other it was not thought of as having -- commercial application it was a Swiss guy whose name is hyphenated and I don't remember is -- guy who turned it into a public Internet.
So that's so almost -- beside the point number number one as I indicated earlier everybody he takes out his help to the way his government.
If you're a conservative if you -- I think an ordinary American right of center American as we generally are.
As our majority -- you would say.
Who influenced you -- the only your father your mother your family.
Your church your associations.
Your neighbors you wouldn't start with the government you might include.
Obama sees a government as the expression of society.
Exclusively and that's where he starts to go off the rails.
That's a very hard -- point of view where it's a government that helps you out it's not the civil society.
And in fact on the hard left the more you grow the government.
And you crave the love highs and that we have today the more you squeeze out.
Civil society -- -- he would -- the opportunity and the influence of church and parents etc.
So that's the second element in this and the third is the argument is complete nonsense.
We all use roads and bridges what separates us -- that some people have this extra energy extra intelligence extra innovation.
Thinking extra hard work and some genius like a job Steve Jobs.
And that explains the different outcomes that's chemistry 101.
You you have a sample here in the chandelier and Texas constant but why is a variable he had a different outcome it's -- why it's not PX it's not the constant.
So I don't see how he can make the state I would play it over and over again the full context and I think you sink his.
Presidency because it makes it into exactly the kind of ideological debate if you want to have -- -- a person on the left is gonna lose in this country.
-- Connecticut says Charles it's not too late and -- the race you've got I -- I appreciate that sincerely bit of declare right now if nominated I will not run that if elected I would -- -- -- -- here I'm just lazy arrest that operated and perhaps.
I guess that's it Casey it goes to a different level it's not like the average.
It doesn't seem like it's just.
Again it doesn't see it -- seems like it transcends that even Democrats will say to you.
Yeah that this is kind of bigger than.
The average home.
-- Well I think it does go to the heart of what Republicans are trying to say about Obama that as Charles has articulated.
You know he thinks that the government is more of a solution to the economic issues at hand.
Then it is small business -- that's exactly what.
The Republicans would like to think and that one line regardless of the context if you've got a business you didn't build that somebody else made that happen is going to be in college less -- you -- that's just fat piece right.
Here's my theory just theory.
The president's been.
106 fundraisers in six months and he's off teleprompter as we've we've said and sometimes you get tired and sometimes things come out the wrong way and perhaps it's a filter thing where.
As you point out it goes to a bigger ideological battle that you know and it is slipped out but he's he got tired and is a possible state.
Yeah I think that's not only possible I think that's likely look when -- when you're gonna comfortable audience and you used to being in as many fund -- he's been doing.
Did you do there's not -- sort of governor on the things that you say that there might otherwise be.
And we seen this previously I -- can't remember the exact line which probably screw up the the anecdote.
But Steven Chu was testifying in front of congress and said something that was so totally.
You know out there I think it's going into a village to crucified if I have in mind if I can't remember exactly what it was but it was one of these things that I think will win and in fact I think we've we've made this point we talked about it.
If if he would giving this speech to you know the Sierra clobber to a group that would be fully behind the kinds of things he's argued.
It probably wouldn't cause anybody didn't.
You know.
-- raise their eyebrows.
But in a broader context and certainly in congress.
It was the kind of line that really jumped out at people Eddie says no -- came out the correct way.
Think OK I mean if you if you believe the spot what I was saying is that.
The traditional filters.
Or not there to prevent it from happening.
I would add to to the fatigue and the idea being a friendly audience the way the audience egged him on he was getting into this.
It was exactly the kind of thing where if you speak in private I mean the kind of thing he said remember no way he was caught saying in San Francisco and a private.
The group -- of people of middle America they're bitter because they're losing their jobs so they claim to god and guns and fear of the other.
Stuff you would never say on the outside that you -- whisper on the inside.
That's sort of separate guest rights are you for real disappointed he wasn't tired he was speaking would be truly believes I thought -- he wouldn't say that in the traditional media event forty.
And -- scene immediately and -- know that.
This moment would be used as it's being used currently as a politician it's like a prisoner being kept up all night being interrogated.
And after eighteen hours or that he says the -- blurted out without even thinking.
That's the -- -- that's the filter -- the governor comes down and he says.
That's why it's so damaging because it's obviously what he believes -- explains some of this population is in the interest intent as a thought experiment it to do we we were saying our fair trials where where you proposed.
Substituting in roads and bridges so you give -- the Obama campaign exactly what they say that he intended to say.
You if you've got a business you didn't build those roads and bridges somebody else made that happen.
And see if that would be something that they would be eager to put back -- -- speeches that he's about to give.
On the campaign -- because I don't think you always even have a case in the context as exculpatory -- clearly today's speech dealt with hardworking Americans.
Who put in elbow grease who you know I mean it was much it was directly.
Rebutting what he said.
And that's him and it also comes across it to a certain extent as an attack more than the rest of this section you know he's.
In the rest of it he's asking people to say listen I appreciate the people -- helped you throughout your life and I don't think anyone's disputing that that's something that we all do.
But on the other hand to say you have something and you are not responsible for creating it it's out of context with the tone of the rest of the section even if there is ideological difference.
People I think we're gonna move -- -- next up and let me keep.
Keep going.
The horse is obviously get ready.
Are typing and remember the fund raiser in San Francisco Horry said people cling to their guns in their bibles -- guns -- -- religion.
Yes and that was a fund raiser behind closed doors I don't think he knew that the audio was going to get out of that he -- he's a politician -- -- went so he wouldn't.
I'm somebody you know making excuses by saying that you could be tired.
It's just that welcomed my world that's fantastic I'm gonna happen -- that -- -- He agencies that we say when retired and we go to camera right there -- look at merit.
OK let's move on the what's my next topic.
We want -- How obvious statement you made in Virginia on Friday night -- I don't know that if they.
I really didn't feel that it's okay -- -- are good they are big paychecks.
Looks like look for a little while like it was going to develop quickly -- it seems now that is going to happen after.
-- goes to Europe.
And maybe even after that after the Olympics are over what's the -- -- -- they wanted to talk about that a little bit and we were talking about this before to how long it took the running campaign to seize on this issue that we just discussed at length and they we're talking about it on Monday when they were instead talking about potentially releasing a vice presidential pick by the end of the week because they wanted to push.
Away from some media stories about Romney's tenure at Bain.
I actually haven't seen that -- is event tomorrow in New Hampshire and then won't have any public events for a few days until he makes a big speech in Reno.
To the veterans of foreign wars will have kept off his week.
Plus long trip to he's going to London and then heading over to Israel and then finishing up in Poland do you think that they're going to use the Olympics.
Experience and solid city well as a remind.
Absolutely and one thing we haven't seen -- did you yet since the beginning of the general election is really highlight his tenure in Salt Lake City and he you know did a lot of work to turn those games around I think you're gonna see Democrats try to attack that ten year over the course the next week.
But he's really use that as an opportunity on NBC of course will be broadcasting over there -- sounds like he's gonna use that opportunity to.
Make sure that he's in a lot of living rooms during that time.
Caption when he didn't mean these -- stuff that we I've heard that.
That there are things about it that might be -- I don't know the I'm really uniforms are made some places well that's right.
There are some questions about -- on a regular basis for.
One thing -- running actually addresses he wrote a book about his tenure at I'm right in the Olympics -- turnaround and one thing he addresses an incident where he had a confrontation with the police officer that wasn't allowing proper transportation up the mountain out of he tries to explain away his opponents -- allege that he didn't conduct himself.
Totally professionally I'm Democrats and also suggested that some of the sponsorship deals that might have been made could have benefited.
Bain Capital or some other entity that would have benefited from me so.
Have to say that I mean people love the Olympics here and it's it's -- clean topic.
And you're surprised -- -- I'm surprised you got I'm Emanuel who rescued him you know he's a guy who who get who brought in on an emergency basis.
It's in a bribery scandal is that it's way behind on time and money.
He turns it around it's a great success it's a turnaround -- not a private companies -- would it against the main line of attack.
There's a public enterprise he comes -- he turns it around to great success people all know what the Olympics are it's -- obscure like.
You know like -- and I just don't see why they haven't.
But -- and a place to roll out -- when everyone is watching.
-- wild attack and that's true in their -- vulnerabilities there that we don't know about it is that I'm here and rumors that -- might just go to Israel important.
And not go to London.
The -- good tennis I tell you you'd be surprised I'd be surprised that.
Yes he had Bill Russell wasn't that it wasn't the case that -- this -- back in 2008 campaign.
Where he was criticized for taking government money.
And so he was he's playing himself as you know and this small government conservative ends and was at the same time going in and getting additional government funds for the -- question -- hours.
I know Imus Imus sort of libertarian as it comes on spending issues but that seems to me I would rather see an attack you could you can make the argument.
If he's a man who brought it to America the way Obama wanted Summer Olympics to be.
In Chicago his argument would be look I came in it was already hear the prestige United States.
The name of the United States you know the the the idea the United States as efficient and confident country was at stake.
So we had to do everything that you could including using the money of the government your answer would not be a reputation yet.
And as well -- -- one of the reasons why so much money was spent on the Olympics in Salt Lake City was because it happened so close -- 9/11 it was the first major global event that was put on in that security situation itself so huge percentage.
-- -- -- The fact that a lot of -- Money was spent.
On the Olympics.
And the fact that he seems to be running with Friday the thirteenth so this statement pretty heavily but again I would say it was the government United States.
The namely the United States is a national enterprise already in place and he -- had to deal wrestlers.
And you use all means available you might mean Obama Zorn wanted us to go -- and bring the Chicago and basically say why are we spending.
The effort the -- -- the president and the money of the treasury to do that but that was a decision that that predates -- -- Salt Lake he comes in as the white horse I think.
Well and to keep in mind I mean that's.
An argument with primary voters it's little more problematic for spending lots of government money on something I mean swing voters independent voters I mean it's ask your neighbors and your friends the Olympics mean.
Why wouldn't we spend government money -- I don't lizards in Kinshasa.
Is some of these and so makes it okay that's my original thing VP choice.
Pawlenty Portman.
-- third round and regional.
Maybe Jindal won't -- -- Doesn't seem like she's in the running anymore and -- said that.
He wants a pro life candidate who is she told that Carl Cameron.
What -- Steve.
If I were making bets today I would that I need to pull -- -- -- probably.
Pawlenty and put more money on -- than I would on.
Portman at this point and I think Paul Ryan's real -- -- you know the reason and I and I think Paul Ryan remains a long shot -- it.
The way that he would want to run in the way that he speaks.
Conflicts with.
That the entire theory of the race that the Romney campaign seems to be fouling him.
Romney himself has laid out this theory of the race when he speaks to private groups and when he speaks.
To take campaign contributors and -- effectively says what what case hasn't.
There are ten battleground states there before what I -- 45% without trying.
President Obama gets 47% without trying to were fighting over the remaining slice him.
That's what he wants to do and I think they think.
The first job is not to do any harm not to say anything controversial method you're going to get attacked by Paul Ryan's budget wanna get the guy who is in the -- and the best yes this is the argument for for including I -- we started to see we saw a little bit today and there's no question that it's coming we've seen Joseph Biden.
Hit them on this.
Congressman -- in introducing President Obama just a half hour ago.
Was hitting on Medicare I mean this -- is coming Joseph Trippi when I talked to him for about peace and in about Paul Ryan for the weekly standard this week.
Said all of these Bain attacks are in effect set up.
For the coming attacks on the Ryan budget.
It's cool October's going to be about the Ryan budget and that argument would be bring in Paul Ryan he can defend it he talks about -- better than anyone any.
And in several head to head confrontations -- he had with President Obama he came out I think.
I'm on top.
On the Medicare thing the president was on the -- mentioned it today but.
And although mentioned the old.
Medicare proposal one year ago he didn't mention the proposal that Brian amended and is now the one current.
Which says an option would be to choose Medicare as one of the options that you have instead of the voucher system solely it's the same one the Democrat.
Senator Wyden.
Favors and so the president may be on the stump today was running against something that -- be year old.
But anyway we'll get back to DP what do you think.
And it.
If you watch how in all of these folks have been sort of doing -- additions over the course of the last.
Few months and one person you've seen the Romney campaign put a lot of trust in is Rob Portman and -- allowed him to sort of step out on his own and do his own media veils.
Excuse me like talk to the -- by himself which is something that you know the Romney campaign is very careful about you've seen him.
You know going out there.
You know directly regarding the president Ohio news in Cincinnati -- this -- where -- from.
And of course he is from critical Ohio so if you're choosing between two people like Rob Portman and Tim Pawlenty where do you come down those -- -- have to be critical.
-- -- I'm not sure -- as -- and he I think I think this is -- do no harm choice for Romney I think he thinks.
He doesn't have to go long.
Into a short pass and he wins or loses a race on his own perhaps.
Portman to help them in Ohio marginally I don't think anybody's really brought in a state.
Since -- Texas in 1960 and that was with an enormous amount of cheating.
By LBJ so I'm not sure about is if he thinks Ohio is going to be.
Close and he doesn't want a risky Michael Portman I think the Pawlenty thing is it kind of insulation.
So perhaps it would be seen as a balancing of the class issue.
Pawlenty is you know as the Log Cabin Republicans really don't mean to him that in the -- -- I mean.
Lincoln -- coming out of you know poverty.
Thank you for the clarification.
It's your chance to receive email.
I got married -- today where you don't ask don't go ahead.
We could go out and others were you know he's got beat -- on fire tonight -- the roots you know of their.
From you know it's sort of the -- story and Republicans guys you know -- ground -- hands.
It's that kind of thing that might be a way to balance the attacks under the personal attacks on Romney the right things -- using for one reason I think that.
I hate to return to -- if you build the business.
-- -- and still that was kind of feel that -- yeah are really did.
But if you look at the right budget in the text -- it they speak about Obama and the government centered approach.
And the republic in and with the free enterprise.
Centered approach.
That is sort of the heart of the ideological argument if there's anybody in the country who can make it.
And who could exploit what I think could become this huge issue the ideological divide.
It would be him but it's a risk because then you get -- on Medicare.
I -- the -- in Wisconsin and there was this public policy polling Wisconsin last week that suggests that.
The race in which isn't six point advantage of President Obama right now becomes a tossup -- Paul -- is -- -- -- -- Wisconsin.
Dave from Connecticut says could Mitch Daniels be VP.
You know he was my -- going months ago but he is now the president.
Will be the president of Purdue university in Indiana.
He is not in the running.
Other people are saying why no rubio Scott Jensen from Wisconsin actually types and I want to -- rubio.
Steve pending issues.
Yes maybe but not the vetting issues that I think most people think -- I mean he went through this big race he won this senate race in 2010.
There were questions raised about credit the credit card that he used state party credit card.
There were suggestions that there was another shoe to drop on that I don't think that's never drive that -- it was never dropped I don't think that those -- the reasons.
He we've talked about this friend of his David Rivera representative from.
Serving in congress has been investigated at the state level.
Reported to be investigated by the FBI and -- for some shady business dealings.
I'm very close to it to Marco Rubio and it would have been one of those things had rubio Ben -- and had he been.
Chosen he would have had to explain they would have had to explain in great life -- -- this this is speculation on my part not reporting this guy -- Yet with all that was reportedly -- now I'm jumping to speculate.
I would guess that that perhaps the Romney people didn't.
Want to to get into that because otherwise I mean Marco Rubio is.
You know I imagine he was -- the obvious choice and not because he's Hispanic necessarily not because he's from Florida but just because you are really really good idea.
Customers here I -- rubio is also looking head of this election onto his Sonia and there are a lot of folks who surround -- who are pushing him to instead wait until you -- to run into a sixteen if Romney doesn't beat Obama or.
After that he does so keep in mind there's some played there as well the.
Republicans in New Jersey are sending Chris Christie is going to do delivered the keynote address at the convention which is on Tuesday that is not the slot for the VP.
Christie pushed back today saying the RNC will do the announcing -- who's speaking when.
And the Romney campaign will say who wants to be -- VP he added that line as well.
In the response but.
We're told.
I Christie's.
It's probably not.
-- Folks for VP yet but will likely deliver the keynote.
So there we are we have come to the end of -- half hour did you want to make one more I'd -- to go back and.
Thank you all for watching this special report on line and -- -- -- try to get to do any questions tonight.
Obviously you join us every weekday 6 PM eastern on Fox News Channel.
For special reports control room a little -- behind.

Tonight's the night. After weeks of sitting through people who don't know how to sing or don't know how to look attractive or, quite often, both, we're finally getting down to the real people. The final 24. Only one more chance for the contestants to step up with a performance, or at least stick out from the crowd by going down in flames. I, for one, don't really care what happens either way.
This recap...available in high definition, super-crisp text! The contestants who made it this far nervously sit inside the Pasadena Civic Center. Some of the girls plan to try to be the next Rose Parade Queen if they get cut from Idol. Spread your seed wide! So the kids will sit in this holding pen until their name is called. Then they ride an elevator up to the judges, who hold their fates in their judging hands. Bobby Bullard. Sounds like an old time hockey player. Also sounds like a guy who just got cut from Idol.
Brooke Barrettsmith, your name is too long. Goodbye. Moving quickly! Tonight's show might only be ten minutes long. For the contestants who get cut, the good news is Seacrest will hug you for comfort. And Seacrest always smells like sandalwood. We need somebody to make it here. Break the seal. Now Bobby Dillard goes up. Wait a minute. Isn't this Bobby Bullard? Didn't you already go up and get cut?
Downstairs, some girl is complaining about another girl not getting through. Which seems sorta like complaining that somebody was left on a sinking ship as you paddle away on a lifeboat. Bobby Dillard and Bullard both got cut. Gents, avoid that hairstyle and purple sunglasses if you're looking for success!
If Katharine McPhee makes it, do you think she'll quit and demand that Brooke get her spot? Right. Probably not. You know, I think Randy is wearing the same style glasses as yesterday, but these are black instead of blue. I guess when you're a rich celeb, you buy things in multiples and variations. Katharine makes it and kisses abound. For once, I wish I was a judge. Maybe I can get myself some hot smooch action when I interview the finalists.
For the record, Katharine does not offer to turn over her spot in the finals to Brooke. Maybe she'll at least mention Brooke in the liner notes for her first album. Ace is waiting to find out if he's going to pass flight school and be handed the throttle of an F-16. I still suspect Ace gave himself this nickname. Which, again, doesn't count.
Boy, the judges certainly don't mind sitting there and upping the tension. I guess it's no problem to them. When Ace gets downstairs, Chris is so excited, he gives him a big dude hug.
The next cut is Virginia, who declares her life to be over. This tactic does not change the judges' minds. Maybe the gum cracking and rampant cursing will. Or maybe not. Hello, Robert. I like your Pedro-style mustache. The judges liked it so much that they Voted for Robert and put him into the finals. By the way, Robert, when you buy a suit coat, you're allowed to cut the label off the cuff. In fact, you're supposed to. Live and learn.
Mandisa strolls into the room. Mandisa! Mandisa makes the mood in the room a little...tense...by confronting Simon about his earlier comments. The atmosphere is substantially relaxed when Mandisa makes it to the finals.
Let's all get nervous! Mark Adam, you have one name too many. Sorry, we can't fit you into the finals. Lisa Tucker is now in the hot seat. You know, I think I've seen too many kids go through over the years. It's lost all emotional resonance with me. One makes it, one doesn't, more come next year, like a mighty river flowing down. Whatever.
David Radford wore his lucky turtleneck today. If he makes the finals, will he pay royalties to John Stevens. Now Sway. Sway and David, they have two different styles. Sway sashays through to the finals. Ellllllllllllllllliott. He's in too. Brenna sat in front on the top of a wide-open double-decker bus in the Hollywood round. Then she couldn't sing. I guess cold, polluted air rushing into your throat at 40 mph is not good for your voice. Who knew?
Simon thinks that Brenna could be difficult to work with. She helps prove his point by not letting him finish his speech. Brenna comes back downstairs and announces that she's in, much to the surprise and disappointment of a few. Yeah, Marcy could definitely not hide her gut reaction when Brenna came down with good news. And she can't hide the fact that she got cut.
Neither can these other people, most of whom we haven't seen at all until right now. So, really, it's not that emotionally wrenching. Even if you cry as easily as Cowboy Garet.
You have to have it. You have to have it. You have to have...it. It. You have to have it. This it we're talking about. It's a must. You. Have. To. Have. It. Maybe Gedeon and Brenna can couple up in the finals and give us a few Whitney and Bobby moments.
White pants in winter! Even in Southern California, that's a bold move by Stephanie. In fact, white pants are a bold move by any person at any time anywhere. So many things can go wrong. Like, what if you want to eat spaghetti Bolognese for lunch, followed by a happy little chocolate ice cream cone? Hope you're not wearing white pants.
Next up is genetic lottery winner Ayla Brown. And still, no challenges in her life. How pleasant. Now her Dad can form a PAC to raise funds for her future. Ah ha ha! Chris is stuck in the elevator. That's fun! I'm sure however Chris handles this situation, his reaction will be intense at the very least. Oh, you have to push the button to go up? This must be one of those old-fashioned elevators. I'm used to the new ones that use mind control. Chris is through and he can get back to making Jack Bauer look relaxed.
Hey, has anybody seen Terrell and Derrell today? There's no way they could go this long without complaining about something. Maybe the show has forced them to wait outside so they don't have to listen to them. It's 5pm and we're not done yet. Here's Paris Bennett. Come on, there's no way she doesn't make it, right? Let's get serious here. So what about Becky, aka hot twin? She can do arithmetic! She can also scream. Two sure signs of a winner.
April Walsh enters the room and gets the show's first ever floor-level far away camera angle. And she gets cut. I remember when Bucky was named Bo Bice. Patrick thinks he deserves to be here. After all, he can sing, he can dance, he's the king of romance. And he has the courage to wear the ugliest shirt ever made.
Scraggly Kevin Covais is about to get his verdict. And he made it! Of course, nobody is left in the room to celebrate except his parents. Paris Bennett has a chance of making it four girls in five years. Maybe Idol should just bar male singers all together. But Randy still gives Paris a shot of false humility. Downstairs, Paris' mother, Jamecia, nervously awaits words. Interestingly, jamecia is one of my favorite flavors of ice cream.
Oh! There we go. "Shocking news" about Terrell and Derrell. Hard to believe. They're usually so level-headed. What? Oh man! Ha ha ha! I...I don't even know what to say about that. Identity theft! Such upstanding people, too.
Kellie Pickler! The happiest little sad girl in the whole wide world. Kellie gets perhaps only the second piece of good news in her entire life. Taylor Hicks confuses me. I mean, he seems like a great guy. But we already had a Ray Charles. We already had a Joe Cocker. We already had a John Belushi doing Joe Cocker. And now a harmonica? Or, as some would say, mouth organ? We already had a John Popper. But Taylor is through to the finals, where I actually think he'll do well. Hopefully he'll last long enough that I can figure out his deal. Because right now, I have no idea.
Four people remain for two open slots. Mathematics is absolute! You can't change numbers! First the girls. The judges pick the one girl and not the other. Now the guys. The judges pick the one guy and not the other. Fairly simple, actually. And once again, dreads are not the ticket to the finals. Amusingly, when William found out he was in, he stared at Sid, perhaps trying to figure out who was named William.
And that's that. Now the show really gets started. Exciting!

Gourmet Grocery Guide: Produce
The best meat, produce and more inside the city's top grocery stores
Rife for the Picking
Rife's Market, 1417 W. Fifth Ave., Grandview
Rife's itself seems like an anachronism. You pull up to the small storefront and there's fruit outside, lovingly arranged in boxes with handwritten signs. It's not a retro affectation—it's just how they've sold their produce for the past 76 years. It's essentially a farmer's market that keeps regular, year-round hours. Inside, a map of Ohio studded with push-pins points to every farm or small-time producer whose products they stock. But the real magic of Rife's is how much they care about their customers: if you give them your phone number, Mary Kay Rife, the great-granddaughter of the store's founder, will give you a call to let you know when the newest batch of local produce has arrived all through the harvest season—she recently made a couple dozen calls for the season's first black raspberries.
Don't miss: Rife's also has an in-store butcher, with a meat selection that rivals the city's bigger markets.
World Tour
CAM International Market, 889 Bethel Rd., Northwest Side
CAM is an ideal starter market for ethnic grocery newbies, in part because of its bountiful produce selection. Look for stellar deals on herbs at one end of the aisle, and more mushroom varieties than you can imagine at the other (we're fascinated by the two-inch-thick eryngii mushrooms wrapped in plastic on Styrofoam trays). CAM is user-friendly, and the entire produce department is marked with signs describing what each vegetable or fruit is, how to prepare it and its health benefits in both Chinese and English. Don't miss: Any time you've got a need for full-size fish, check out the recently swimming selection in CAM's freezer case.
While you're out... gluten-free pie crust
Peak pie season is upon us, and that's joyful news—unless you struggle with gluten intolerance. Luckily, Columbus has the Raisin Rack, a label-reader's paradise with aisle upon aisle of gluten-free goodies, like this almost-instant pie crust mix from Breads from Anna that's safe for those concerned about a laundry list of food issues.

How Ohio Proud helps small-time farmers sell to big-name stores
While wandering the aisles of your closest Meijer or neighborhood co-op, you've probably noticed a sharp uptick in locally made, well, everything. Ohio Proud, an offshoot of the state's agriculture department, is partially to thank. Since 1993, they've helped small-scale producers get their products into increasingly bigger stores. Ohio Proud now has close to 500 members.
Program manager Lori Panda says there are plenty of paths local businesses can take to make it onto a market's shelves. These are some of the most common:
Store Seeking Salsa: The group's website includes a database of every member and the products they sell. Producers pay a $25 membership fee to be included; stores can use the database to find the perfect product.
Training Day: Ohio Proud created a one-day class for small producers, guiding them from making a few jars of jam to taking over a Whole Foods shelf. "It's a great educational opportunity for these guys, who don't necessarily have experience figuring out how much inventory to have or how to price their product," Panda says.
Love at First Sight: For the ultimate match-making experience, Ohio Proud organizes what Panda calls "speed-dating" events. Producers and farmers set up stands in a conference room, and store buyers tour the stands, tasting items they find interesting. Then, the buyers set up 15-minute interviews that day with all their favorites. "A lot of stores and wineries want to purchase local products," Panda says. "People want to support their local economy, and the demand is driving retailers."

NEWARK, N.J. (February 20, 2013)—PSE&G, New Jersey's largest utility company, is proposing to spend $3.9 billion to protect its electric and gas system against future storms like Sandy.
PSE&G says it wants to strengthen distribution lines, protect utility stations from storm surges and make the electrical grid easier to repair.
During Superstorm Sandy, 2 million of the company's 2.2 million customers lost power.
The company said 800,000 of them wouldn't have ended up in the dark if the proposed upgrades were in place and service would have been restored to the rest sooner.
The company says customers won't see bills go up much higher because the price of natural gas has been dropping.
The company anticipates lower electricity prices, too.
The 10-year plan needs approval of the state's Board of Public Utilities.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Suit - Men's - 2011 Closeout:
I use the power suit as a base layer for recreational skiing and professionally working outside in Alaska where it does get cold. The suit is a huge performance improvement over two pieces for heat retention giving added insulation while removing either overlap or gap between a top and bottom. I bought the first one at the beginning of the 2012-13 season, and bought 2 more suits as there isn't anything comparable and the price is good. The rainbow zipper in the back works beautifully. The front zipper can pinch if you're not careful and the zipper runs short, but it'll stretch no problem.
They seem true to size; I'm a heavy-framed 6'3", 250 lbs, 38-40" waist/relaxed fit, and I comfortably wear an XL which feels like a perfect fit.

Kittanning /kɪˈtænɪŋ/ is a borough in and the county seat of Armstrong County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.[1] It is situated 44 miles (71 km) northeast of Pittsburgh, along the east bank of the Allegheny River. The name Kithanink[2] means 'on the main river' in the (Native American) Delaware language, from kit- 'big' + hane 'mountain river' + -ink (suffix used in place names). "The main river" is a Lenape epithet for the Allegheny and Ohio, considered as all one river.[3] The borough and its bridge were used as a setting for several recent films.
The borough is located on the east bank of the Allegheny River, founded on the site of the eighteenth-century Native American village of Kittanning at the western end of the Kittanning Path. In 1756, the village was destroyed by John Armstrong, Sr. at the Battle of Kittanning during the French and Indian War. During the attack, a blast from the explosion of gunpowder stored in Captain Jacobs's house was heard in Pittsburgh, 44 miles away.
Early in the 20th century, it had large iron and steel works, foundries, coal mines, glassworks, flour and lumber mills, china, pottery, brick, lime, and clay works, mirror and typewriter factories, breweries, etc.
In 1900, 3,902 people lived in Kittanning, and in 1910, there were 4,311 inhabitants. After Kittanning merged with Wickboro (1910 population 2,775), in 1914, an estimated 10,000 residents lived in Kittanning in that year. The 1920 census counted 7,153 residents. In 1930, there were 7,808 residents; in 1940, 7,550. The population was 4,044 at the 2010 census. Kittanning is the county seat of Armstrong County.[1]
The playground on North Jefferson Street was formerly the Kittanning Cemetery; 274 graves were moved in 1960 to a new cemetery along Troy Hill Road.
The Allegheny River Lock and Dam No. 7 and Armstrong County Courthouse and Jail are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4]
Kittanning is located at 40°49′12″N 79°31′17″W / 40.82000°N 79.52139°W (40.820085, -79.521398).[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of 1.0 square mile (2.6 km2), all land.
As of the census[6] of 2000, there were 4,787 people, 2,032 households, and 1,117 families residing in the borough. The population density was 4,615.2 people per square mile (1,777.2/km²). There were 2,251 housing units at an average density of 2,170.2 per square mile (835.7/km²). The racial makeup of the borough was 97.31% White, 1.57% African American, 0.23% Native American, 0.25% Asian, 0.08% from other races, and 0.56% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.67% of the population.
There were 2,032 households out of which 26.2% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 36.7% were married couples living together, 14.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 45.0% were non-families. 40.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 19.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.19 and the average family size was 2.96.
In the borough the population was spread out with 22.2% under the age of 18, 10.4% from 18 to 24, 27.1% from 25 to 44, 20.3% from 45 to 64, and 20.1% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 40 years. For every 100 females there were 82.5 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 78.2 males.
The median income for a household in the borough was $20,921, and the median income for a family was $30,822. Males had a median income of $29,036 versus $20,040 for females. The per capita income for the borough was $13,787. About 12.3% of families and 16.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 14.8% of those under age 18 and 11.7% of those age 65 or over.

Conceived and built in 1977, Brother Sebastian's was the vision of first-time restaurateur Loren Koch.
The concept was extraordinary for Omaha at that time - give the dining public of Omaha a place to "get away" and enjoy great food in an upscale restaurant with an imaginative, comfortable atmosphere.
While most "theme" restaurants of the past have come and gone, Brother Sebastian's timeless design and strong service ethic have allowed it to not only endure, but grow to be one of the top ranked restaurants in Omaha!
The Devastating Fire of 1996...
Brother Sebastian's burned to the ground in February of 1996. The exact cause of the fire was never determined.
The final demolition of the original structure and subsequent rebuilding began immediately under the direct supervision of owner Loren Koch.
Construction was completed, and the restaurant re-opened in October of the same year - only 8 months later!
Did You Know...
That Omaha has over 1000 registered food service establishments, making "The Big "O" one of the highest per-capita restaurant cities in the nation?
Over 100 new restaurants opened in 2003 alone!
We appreciate each and every person that has the confidence to spend their hard earned money in our restaurant! ................................................................................. Our goal is simple - 100% customer satisfaction! We take pride in the fact that so many of our customers become our good friends. We look forward to meeting and getting to know YOU!
Quick FAQ's
Who is Brother Sebastian?
Brother Sebastian, in our case, is a purely fictional character. We have learned there is an actual "Brother Sebastian" in the Omaha area, but we have not had the pleasure of meeting him.
What is the story of Brother Sebastian's?
Owner Loren Koch was inspired by the many Spanish missions sprinkled throughout the state of California. The monks that inhabited these monasteries were renowned for their hospitality and kindness to visitors. They were also the original "vintners" of California, being the first in the state to plant vines brought from their homeland. Koch designed Brother Sebastian's to re-create the warm ambiance of the rustic abbeys, while paying homage to the "Brothers" that dedicated their lives to their beliefs - as well as to the care of their fellow man.

In the know...
Omaha beat out Chicago as the largest beef producing city in the world in 1956. The Omaha Stockyards processed 43,000 cattle a day at it's peak, but fell victim to the developement of large beef packing companies in the 1970's. The face of meat processing has changed over the last three decades, but Nebraska still reigns as one of the premier beef producing states in the country. Nebraska Beef is a brand now recognized as providing some of the worlds finest beef products.
Brother Sebastian's features USDA Choice Grade Angus beef - the highest Choice Grade beef on the market today.

Shelton Jackson "Spike" Lee (born March 20, 1957) is an American film director, producer, writer, and actor. His production company, 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks, has produced over 35 films since 1983.
Lee's movies have examined race relations, the role of media in contemporary life, urban crime and poverty, and other political issues. Lee has won numerous awards, including an Emmy Award. He has also received two Academy Award nominations.
Spike Lee was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the son of Jacqueline Carroll (née Shelton), a teacher of arts and black literature, and William James Edward Lee III, a jazz musician and composer. Lee moved with his family to Brooklyn, New York when he was a small child. (The Fort Greene neighborhood is home to Lee's production company, 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks, and other Lee-owned or related businesses.) As a child, his mother nicknamed him "Spike." In Brooklyn, he attended John Dewey High School. Lee enrolled in Morehouse College where he made his first student film, Last Hustle in Brooklyn. He took film courses at Clark Atlanta University and graduated with a B.A. in Mass Communication from Morehouse College. He then enrolled in New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where he earned a Master of Fine Arts in Film & Television.

Top 5 compact cameras for bargain hunters
There are really only two times a year that camera manufacturers drop prices on compact cameras: late winter/early spring and holiday shopping season. The latter is for current-year models, the former is for clearing out the prior year models.
The five cameras below are 2011 models (well, except for the LX5, though it got a major firmware update), picked for their features and photo quality in relation to their original and current price. These aren't necessarily inexpensive models; there's a difference between a cheap camera and one that offers you more for your dollar.
Canon, Panasonic, and Nikon seemed to have the best deals going right now. However, if none of these cameras interest you or you know a specific model you want from 2011, keep an eye on prices over the next few months. That's when retailers will start making more room for spring 2012 models. … Read more

Very nice stay at this hotel. The staff on duty was very nice and helpful. The restaurant was closed as I arrived late in the evening but I was given a few great options to go out or order in. The rate was decent but I could not enjoy the discounted breakfast as I had to leave before 7am.

One motivation for the EUPL is that many governments cannot publish software under a licence that isn't one of their official languages. With the EUPL, the Swedish government can use the Swedish version, and downstream recipients can change the software to GPLv3. In that way, the EUPL can work as a shim, much easier than trying to translate the GPL into 23 languages.
Being a EU citizen it makes me sad. Enormous resources are spent on translation - just because certain countries are too proud to adopt English as a common working language. (No, I am not a native English speaker neither). Furthermore the language issue is the prime symbol of the unwillingness to compromise on irrational national interests.
What GPL/EU compatibility is needed?

Unless I'm mistaken, the licensing terms are supposed to be useful to both the developper AND the user. There is something like "if you don't agree with the licensing terms, then you are not allowed to use that software" (that's still true with the GPL or with any FOSS license). Now, if a user is not able to read the license, how can he accept it?
Posted Jan 7, 2013 14:49 UTC (Mon) by ekj (subscriber, #1524) [Link]
Indeed, the GPL says so explicitly. Quote: "Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted"
That is, you do *NOT* need to agree to the GPL in order to use the software, or indeed to do anything permitted under copyright-law. The GPL in effect says: "You don't have to agree with any of this - but *if* you agree, you get a set of additional rights, including the right to distribute, copy and modify the software"

It's true that a few jurisdictions have insane definitions of "copying" that makes even transient copies, such as those exisint in RAM of a program executed from the hard-disc "copies" in the copyright-sense. In those jurisdictions, you require a permission from the copyright-holder to run a program, because running it includes making copies of it.
More sane jurisdictions discount such temporary functional copies from their definition of "copy" and no permission is required.
However: even in those jurisdictions where you -do- need permission to run a program, it is quite clear that the GPL grants you this permission.
Posted Jan 8, 2013 17:08 UTC (Tue) by etienne (subscriber, #25256) [Link]
Would you call installation of the software package on the hard disk a "transient copy", or are you talking of live DVD distributions where someone else did the DVD copy?
Posted Jan 8, 2013 17:56 UTC (Tue) by ekj (subscriber, #1524) [Link]
I find the model of copyright used here in Norway to be fairly reasonable, with the exception that the protection-time is MUCH too long.
Here, such incidental copies that are required for the normal use of a legally aquired work, are allowed. This includes installing software from a DVD onto a hard-disc, loading that program into RAM, and also taking a complete backup of a machine with the program installed. (all of these things fall under "normal use")
But all this is nitpicking - and nitpicking that by its nature is jurisdiction-specific. Even if you're unlucky enough to live somewhere where you do need permission to use a program you legally aquired, then that's still not a problem because the GPL grants such a permission. In practical terms it's impossible to break the GPL by making multiple copies of the software for your own use -- what would you do: refuse to give yourself the sourcecode ?
In short, unless you distribute GPLed software - or derivative works, you don't need to agree to anything in particular to use the software for anything you like.
Posted Jan 9, 2013 11:17 UTC (Wed) by etienne (subscriber, #25256) [Link]
Are you saying that in Norway, if you completely break the GPL license (for instance by incorporating GPL source code inside your closed source product, pretending that you have written it all yourself, and selling that software), then you still have the right to use the initial GPL software, because: - the copy of the GPL software you have downloaded from a FTP server has been created on your own hard drive by the FTP server and not by yourself - the copy in /usr/bin resulting on the installation of the .deb/.rpm is "normal use" - the copy in memory at execution time is also "normal use"? Is it fairly reasonable?
Posted Jan 9, 2013 11:43 UTC (Wed) by ekj (subscriber, #1524) [Link]
But of course, the copyright-holder could sue you for illegally distributing a derived work from your FTP-server.
Those are two entirely distinct questions:
1) Can you legally *use* this software that you legally downloaded from wherever ? Yes you can.
2) Can you legally distribute copies of it, or works that are derived from it, without the permission of the copyright-holder ? No you can not.

If we're going to adopt "a european language" I would much rather adopt that OTHER international language, which also happens to be the most widely spoken first language in Europe! Any ideas which one?
Actually, it's a language group, rather than a language, but it's Romance, or as we could call it "modern latin". When you add together all those people whose native language is a derivative of latin, it is the most common language, outnumbering the germanic languages combined, or the slav languages combined.
As for English, Finnish, Hungarian, (French?) they hardly register!
My personal preference, actually, would be to select those major language groups (English, French, Germanic, Romance, Slav) and say that all official texts must be in one language from each group. It is up to the proposer to provide those official translations, and then every country can translate into their own specific language. And if there is a dispute as to meaning, the country that provided the original document has to use the translation, not the original! (For other disputes, the original would trump.)
Oh - by the way - I am a native Brit who's only Romance language is school latin (though I do speak German, French and Russian).
Cheers, Wol
Ok, the subject has changed to language policy now
Posted Dec 19, 2012 18:22 UTC (Wed) by coriordan (guest, #7544) [Link]
The problem with picking a language group (English is a Germanic language and French is a Romance language) is that even native-speakers within those groups can't understand each other, let alone speak and write the other languages.
I speak two Germanic languages, but I can't understand German, and I speak one and a half Romance languages but I can't understand Italian.
> then every country can translate into their own specific language
Who pays? If the country pays, then it's unfair because very little will be published in, say, Dutch, so the Dutch speakers (who form 1.5 medium-sized countries) will have to pay higher translation costs than the English- or German-speakers (who form much larger economies and could better afford such costs).
Or should the EU pay? In that case you've just recreated the current situation whereby everything is translated into every language and the EU pays.
There is no simple answer: language policy will always provide oodles of fun :-)

I like very much the Arab model: a private language (e.g. Moroccan) to speak at home and with friends, and an official lingua franca used in formal communications, classic Arab. It used to be this way in Europe with Latin, but it fell out of fashion many centuries ago. A pity, but to tell the truth Latin grammar was hellish.

This was the basic reasoning behind Esperanto, which is supposed to be easy to learn as a second language. The idea was that, for reasons of politics and national pride, we would never get everybody to standardise on one single global language, so it would make sense to have an »auxiliary language« to be used if you had no other language in common.
This sounds great in theory, but in practice there is both huge inertia and a chicken-egg problem (nobody wants to go first but unless there is lots of buy-in the advantages don't really come to play). Think of Esperanto (and other similar languages) as the Dvorak keyboard of languages.
Posted Dec 20, 2012 11:50 UTC (Thu) by andresfreund (subscriber, #69562) [Link]
Its even harder, more like converting your entire company to Dvorak before you're allowed to use it on your own hardware.

Also, not all languages have lost it - German retains quite a bit of Latin gender system and somewhat reduced case system.
>Having a full degree of freedom in such a basic mechanism of grammar does not make it easy for speakers of highly positional languages. I come from the other direction - fixed order of words is not such a big deal.

People's desire and ability to speak English vary greatly depending on their social class, native language, employment sector, age, etc. Excluding the people who happen to have poor English is very undemocratic.
...and then there's immigrants. If someone moves to Sweden, do they have to learn Swedish? English? or both? And people with learning difficulties, do they also have to learn English in addition to their native language?
I'm a big fan of multilingualism, but governments can't require it.

We are talking about software here. This means English. Democracy has nothing to do wit this. it's just history. For ballet you need French, for medicine you need Latin and for software you need English—or else trying to create community is pretty hard (look on things like Nginx or Ruby: they only become big when they finally accepted this fact).
This may be "undemocratic" and "unfair" but that's life.
And if you need to write all the documents (or at least all the important ones) in English anyway then using English license is not such a big problem.
I don't know where to draw the line
Posted Dec 19, 2012 19:15 UTC (Wed) by coriordan (guest, #7544) [Link]
I agree that developer communities can choose whatever lingua franca they want, and most choose English.
But governments have a duty of democracy and inclusivity for all citizens.
So I think language requirements aren't absurd. But I don't know where to draw the line in order to require governments to communicate to their citizens in an official language, but at the same time not block those governments from contributing to GPL'd projects. Hmmm....

Besides, there are plenty of software-related projects that aren't run in English, including ones that specifically target users that need stuff in their own language (things like localisation projects for applications). It's not for any of us to tell people in such projects to learn English, especially if they're getting on well enough not knowing any.

Reality is that most people are completely unable to read and understand, even approximately, the implications of your average EULA. You need excellent abstract reasoning, and a *firm* grasp of the legalese subvariant of english - as well as several hours time to even have a chance.
The rational choice is to ignore the EULA completely and click "Accept".
This is what the overwhelming majority of computer-users do. And it's a rational choice.
Sure, you *could* spend thousands of hours of your life reading, and trying to comprehend EULAs, including all the implications of the text in them. But doing so would be a massive waste of time, and it's highly unlikely that any gain you'd have from doing so would be outweighed by the benefits.

Telling the user that free software and culture is great is something totally different because it shouldn't involve licenses.
Usually companies do not want their customers to understand end-user agreements and TOS and such things because otherwise the customer would understand that the company does not care about the interests of the customer at all. Perhaps http://tos-dr.info/ will be able to help. (Yes there are exceptions, like unusually understandable TOS, free software companies, companies that try hard to behave in ethical ways, etc. But those are not the majority.)
If one were to turn the tos-dr.info concept top down and templateize and modularize TOS (that would be the DSL aproach to law) only the templates and related documentation need to be translated once. But I guess the majority of lawyers would probably fight something like this like their lives depended on it, because their profit depends on it.

FLORENCE, TEX.—"Look at that—isn't it gorgeous?" Sandy Peck asks as she rinses dirt from a flaked stone about the length and width of a pinky finger. Peck runs a hose over soil on a fine-mesh screen, prodding at stubborn clods of clay with a muddy glove. "Look, there's another one."
Peck, sorting soil that had been disturbed by a recent thunderstorm, is a volunteer looking for artifacts in the Gault Valley in central Texas, some 40 miles (65 kilometers) north of Austin. The valley hasn't changed much over the last several thousand years: A spring-fed creek still runs among live oaks and pecan trees, jackrabbits and deer still live on the nearby uplands, and cobbles of chert, ideal for making stone tools, still bulge from the valley's limestone walls. Today, however, instead of working hides and shaping stones as they did 13,000 years ago, humans painstakingly sift the soil in search of ancient artifacts that will overturn long-held assumptions about the earliest Americans.
Since the 1930s textbooks have taught that the New World's first inhabitants, known for the town in New Mexico where their spear points were discovered, walked from Siberia to Alaska about 13,300 years ago. The Clovis people were believed to be highly mobile nomadic hunters, never settling in one place, instead surviving on massive mammoths, mastodons and ancient bison.
But in excavations starting in 1998 Gault has revealed that Clovis people lived at the site for extended periods over a span of 300 years, says Michael Collins, a research associate with the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory. The evidence? Scientists have found numerous tools manufactured from local stone, used until they were worn, then repaired repeatedly until they finally were discarded. In other words, Paleo-Indians were members of a settled community. "We're redefining Clovis," Collins says.
It's unusual to find a site that has both materials for stone tools and "enough resources that people could camp and live right there," says Dennis Stanford, head of theSmithsonian National Museum of Natural History anthropology department who has visited the Gault site several times. "Usually you don't get both, but at Gault you get the whole show. So it looks like people were living there for extended periods of time."
Gault also suggests previous assumptions about Clovis's diet were wrong. Sure, they ate mammoth and bison, but archaeologists are also finding bones from frogs, turtles, snakes and rabbits. "Coming home with three rabbits isn't as dramatic as the museum mural image of Clovis people sneaking up on a mammoth," says Collins's colleague, Andy Hemmings, but probably better reflects day-to-day life.
Not everyone is convinced that Clovis was such a homebody. "Gault is not completely rewriting what we know about Clovis," says Robert L. Kelly, head of the department of anthropology at the University of Wyoming. "[Collins] could be right that this particular population of Clovis was more settled than other peoples. But is Gault the pattern or is Gault an aberration? We don't know."
The Clovis finds would be dramatic enough, but Collins also claims to have found evidence of an earlier culture at Gault. In 2002 the team dug below Clovis layers and promptly found hundreds of stone flakes. The surrounding soil was dated to 350 years before Clovis. When they kept digging, the team dated other materials to even further back, although Collins used a technique that others have questioned, and that even he acknowledges is imprecise.
