Nearly three quarters (72%) of adults are quite attached to following local news and information, and local newspapers are by far the source they rely on for much of the local information they need. In fact, local news enthusiasts are substantially more wedded to their local newspapers than others. They are much more likely than others to say that if their local newspaper vanished, it would have a major impact on their ability to get the local information they want. This is especially true of local news followers age 40 and older, who differ from younger local news enthusiasts in some key ways.
One-third of local news enthusiasts (32%) say it would have a major impact on them if their local newspaper no longer existed, compared with just 19% of those less interested in local news. Most likely to report a major impact if their newspaper disappeared are local news followers age 40 and older (35%), though even among younger local news followers 26% say losing the local paper would have a major impact on them. In contrast, just 19% of adults who do not follow local news closely say they would feel a major impact and fully half (51%) say they would feel no impact at all from the loss of their local paper. Only 34% of local news enthusiasts feel this way.
These are among the main findings in a nationally-representative phone survey of 2,251 adults by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism and Internet & American Life Project, produced in association with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Read more ...
The results in this report are based on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International from January 12 to 25, 2011, among a sample of 2,251 adults, age 18 and older. Telephone interviews were conducted in English and Spanish by landline (1,501) and cell phone (750, including 332 without a landline phone). For results based on the total sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling is plus or minus 2.4 percentage points. For results based Internet users (n=1,762), the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.

Sacramento-area residents will no longer be able to read the full Sacramento Bee online for free.
The McClatchy-owned newspaper announced Wednesday that it will limit access to its website for anyone who doesn't pay: Non-subscribers will be limited to reading 15 articles every 30 days; they'll also be able to access the home page, main section pages, the 49ers blog, Sacramento Connect and other areas.
Online-only access will be $6.95 per month or $69.95 a year; print subscribers can add access to sacbee.com for $1.99 a month or $19.95 a year.
"Newspaper websites around the country have begun charging readers for access to news during the last couple of years," the Bee wrote in its announcement of the paywall. "At Sacbee.com, print subscribers will continue to have free digital access until their current subscription renews. Regular digital readers who do not already subscribe will be asked to do so. Introductory pricing starts at 99 cents per month."
The Sacramento Business Journal reported that the Bee is "following a trend that is rapidly changing the newspaper industry."
Other McClatchy papers are testing paywalls, and the Florida-based Poynter Institute reported that McClatchy Co. CEO Patrick J. Talamantes told shareholders the paid access trials were an "ongoing search for that sweet spot – trying to capture additional subscription revenues without harming traffic or advertising revenues."
What do you think? Will you pay for online access to the Bee? Do you subscribe to the print edition? Let us know with a comment below.

You claimed that RedHat is a counterexample, but are they. They have no problem with copyright. In fact claming that they have "intellectual property". Really? Since when are government granted monopolies property? http://www.redhat.com/legal/legal_statement.html
Property Rights and Intellectual Monopoly by Michele Boldrin and David K.Levine http://www.dklevine.com/general/intellectual/coffee.htm
"All of this brings us to what intellectual property law is really about - a reality that is simply obscured by analogies to other types of property. Intellectual property law is not about your right to control your copy of your idea - this is a right that we have just pointed out, does not need a great deal of protection. What intellectual property law is really about is about your right to control my copy of your idea."
"The closest case is that of slavery. That is, the courts will not enforce a contract in which you sell yourself into slavery. In the case of slavery, as in the case of intellectual "property" we believe that the economic and moral arguments point in the same direction for the same reason. Your labor is irrevocably bound to your person. To enforce a contract in which you sell yourself to someone else requires them to enforce the contract by intrusive, expensive, and morally offensive measures. Hence we allow you to rent your labor, but not sell yourself."
> RMS predicted Wikipedia the same way he predicted a free Unix?
It is not merely about prediction. It is about setting out to work and trying to do it. "A similar non-wiki project, the GNUpedia project, co-existed with Nupedia early in its history; however, it has been retired and its creator, free-software figure Richard Stallman, has lent his support to Wikipedia." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia#Related_projects
Not just that, trying to come up with the principles of how it should be licensed etc... is important. I gave a link to the essay because he explains the principles clearly and I found them useful. e.g "Permit mirror sites." Seems trivial right? Not fully. I tried to get images in wikipedia and you cant download them. Because some of them are there under fair use, wikipedia is trying to weed out "fair use" images as much as possible even if it costs them a bit in quality. Why? Because then anybody can build mirror sites with images at that point. I want to donate such a mirror site to a school without internet access. (want kids to view images also, text is so boring)
"The last and most important rule for pages in the encyclopedia is the exclusionary rule:
If a page on the web covers subject matter that ought to be in the encyclopedia or the course library, but its license is too restricted to qualify, we must not make links to it from encyclopedia articles or from courses. " Wikipedia follows a similar rule.
This is not about praising RMS. It is just that he is thoughtful and what he says has a lot of utility. We must consider his arguments both on rational and moral grounds. Whether we agree or not is a different matter.

Financing Basics
What is "loan to value" (LTV) and how does it determine the size of my loan?
The loan to value ratio is the amount of money you borrow compared with the price or appraised value of the home you are purchasing. Each loan has a specific LTV limit. For example: With a 95% LTV loan on a home priced at $50,000, you could borrow up to $47,500 (95% of $50,000), and would have to pay,$2,500 as a down payment.
The LTV ratio reflects the amount of equity borrowers have in their homes. The higher the LTV the less cash home buyers are required to pay out of their own funds. To protect lenders against potential loss in case of default, higher LTV loans (80% or more) usually require a mortgage insurance policy.
When do ARMS make sense?
An ARM may make sense If you are confident that your income will increase steadily over the years or if you anticipate a move in the near future and aren't concerned about potential increases in interest rates.
Are there special mortgages for first time home buyers?
Yes. We offer several affordable mortgage options which can help first-time homebuyers overcome obstacles that made purchasing a home difficult in the past. Lenders may now be able to help borrowers who don't have a lot of money saved for the down payment and closing costs, have no or a poor credit history, have quite a bit of long-term debt, or have experienced income irregularities.
How large does my down payment need to be?
When considering the size of your down payment, consider that you'll also need money for closing costs, moving expenses, and – possibly -repairs and decorating. There are mortgage options now available that only require a down payment of 5% or less of the purchase price.
The larger the down payment, the less you have to borrow, and the more equity you'll have. Mortgages with less than a 20% down payment generally require a mortgage insurance policy to secure the loan.
What are discount points?
Discount points allow you to lower your interest rate. They are essentially prepaid interest, With each point equaling 1% of the total loan amount. Generally, for each point paid on a 30-year mortgage, the interest rate is reduced by 1/8 (or.125) of a percentage point. When shopping for loans, ask lenders for an interest rate with 0 points and then see how much the rate decreases with each point paid. Discount points are smart if you plan to stay in a home for some time since they can lower the monthly loan payment. Points are tax deductible when you purchase a home and you may be able to negotiate for the seller to pay for some of them.
What is an escrow account? Do I need one?
Established by your lender, an escrow account is a place to set aside a portion of your monthly mortgage payment to cover annual charges for home owner's insurance, mortgage insurance (if applicable), and property taxes. Escrow accounts are a good idea because they assure money will always be available for these payments. If you use an escrow account to pay property tax or homeowner's insurance, make sure you are not penalized for late payments since it is the lender's responsibility to make those payments.
What is a Good Faith Estimate, and how does it help me?
It's an estimate that lists all fees paid before closing, all closing costs, and any escrow costs you will encounter when purchasing a home. The lender must supply it within three days of your application so that you can make accurate judgments when shopping for a loan. See Borrower's Rights.
What is mortgage insurance?
Mortgage insurance is a policy that protects lenders against some or most of the losses that result from defaults on home mortgages. It's required primarily for borrowers making a down payment of less than 20%.
How does mortgage insurance work? Is it like home or auto insurance?
Like home or auto insurance, mortgage insurance requires payment of a premium, is for protection against loss, and is used in the event of an emergency. If a borrower can't repay an insured mortgage loan as agreed, the lender may foreclose on the property and file a claim with the mortgage insurer for some or most of the total losses.
What is PMI?
PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance or Insurer. These are privately-owned companies that provide mortgage insurance. They offer both standard and special affordable programs for borrowers. These companies provide guidelines to lenders that detail the types of loans they will insure. Lenders use these guidelines to determine borrower eligibility. PMI's usually have stricter qualifying ratios and larger down payment requirements than the FHA, but their premiums are often lower and they insure loans that exceed the FHA limit.

I'm a mom. I'm a writer, and an avid reader of all things fantastical. Welcome to my not-so-secret lair.

oo nice post! I tend to gravitate to the tough girl characters but not cuz they can use a weapon, but cuz they can conquer their fears and not whine about it. Take Scarlet Ohara for instance... tough as nails but she couldn't fight in an arena or with a weapon, yet she could take care of business.
I'm a big fan of Hermione from HP - smart and strong and can hold her own with the guys. :)
I think Melinda from SPEAK is one of the strongest characters (eventually) ever. She doesn't wield a sword, but she learns to stand up for herself. That's amazing in my book!
I am not a Xena, or a bow and arrow girl, but I can get the job done. I think being shityourpants scared, and coming out with scars is more noteworthy than leveling an entire village :)
Yes!!!!! She was amazing
No, I don't think a female character has to be a warrior princess in order to be considered strong.
Melinda from SPEAK is a fanastic example of this. I'm so glad Daisy mentioned her.
Plus, I just don't think I could wear a metal bra.
Yes, Katniss was amazing. In the course of the story, I really fell in love with her.
I agree with Pk Hrezo above, Scarlett O'Hara is one of the strongest female characters I know of, yet she would probably lose in hand-to-hand combat (although she did shoot a Yankee soldier's face off...).
I think there's much more to being strong than being physically strong. One of my other favorite strong women characters is Pepper Potts from the Iron Man movie. She doesn't melt like other women do in front of Tony Stark. She scolds him and keeps him in line, isn't afraid to stand up to him, and isn't afraid to do what she has to in order to take down the bad guys.
I like it when they make women character's strong and yet sexy. I love Castle because the main female lead is both of those.
Don't sell a Southern girl short. Scarlett wouldn't need hand to hand because she'd always be able to pull out a gun, but she'd be able to hold her own.
Tough is also knowing when to keep strength under control. That would be Scarlett's counterpart Melanie.
I loved Katsa from Graceling; Fire from the book of the same name by Kristin Cashore is another one of my favorite protagonists. She was one of the more resilient ones, without needing to carry a weapon all the time (she is, instead, an excellent violinist).
The Eagle's Aerial Perspective
I think a strong character is someone who does something brave despite their fears (they don't have to be good at it, they just have to try).
Love the characters you've chosen! Vi in Elana Johnson's Possession fits the bill too :)

How many people out there love board and card games and their partner or friends don't? For me, it all started as a child growing up in the 60's, no video games, no pc, just books or T.V., which by the way in England only had 4/5 hours a day programming. So board games became an intrical part of every day life. But here in the states things were different, it seems, and most of my friends considered board games to be bored games. So here we are, hosting an entertaining evening of fun and games f …

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A Los Angeles County judge has overturned a nearly $10,000 small-claims judgment against American Honda Motor Co. that was won by a car owner who said the automaker misrepresented the gas mileage of her hybrid Civic.
Superior Court Judge Dudley W. Gray's ruling released Wednesday found that most owners of that type of car achieve fuel economy close to federal EPA estimates.
A court commissioner had previously ruled in favor of Civic owner Heather Peters, awarding her $9,867.
Peters opted out of a class-action settlement giving some 200,000 owners between $100 and $200 each, plus a rebate if they buy a new Honda, electing instead to sue the automaker on her own.

Don't get the idea, dear friends, that everyone in the Republican Party advocates adoption of a less strident political message in the wake of Tuesday's election loss.
Oh, some do. But, alas, some don't.
Ed Kilgore ASSESSES the situation:
A second notable characteristic of conservative reaction to Tuesday's election results is the iron conviction that Republican pols from Mitt Romney on down did a poor job of articulating why and how the unvarnished conservative creed of small government, "free enterprise," cultural traditionalism, and militant "Americanism" is good for the country and every one of its citizens. It wasn't the ideology ...

Pope offers guidance for social, economic, moral questions
Encyclical links charity, truth in search for justice
Pope: Need new rules, new commitments in light of financial ills
WASHINGTON—Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, said Caritas in Veritate, Pope Benedict XVI's new encyclical, provides helpful guidance for finding answers to the social, economic and moral questions of the contemporary world in a search for truth.
He commented July 7, when Pope Benedict issued to the world a letter that analyzes the current global economic crisis in light of traditional moral principles. The letter affirms the progress that has been made in world development yet notes that other challenges exist given newly emerging problems in the global society.
The encyclical offers sound reflections on the vocation of human development as well as on the moral principles on which a global economy must be based. It challenges business enterprises, governments, unions and individuals to reexamine their economic responsibilities in the light of charity governed by truth.
This third encyclical of Pope Benedict's papacy, Caritas in Veritate is a call to see the relationship between human and environmental ecologies, and to link charity and truth in the pursuit of justice, the common good and authentic human development. In doing so, the pope points out the responsibilities and limitations of government and the private market, challenges traditional ideologies of right and left and calls all men and women to think and act anew.
As Pope Benedict noted the world's current financial straits, he declared that "the current crisis obliges us to re-plan our journey, to set ourselves new rules and to discover new forms of commitment, to build on positive experiences and to reject negative ones. The crisis thus becomes an opportunity for discernment, in which to shape a new vision for the future." (Italics in document)
Quotes from Caritas in Veritate follow. (Italics are from the document.)
"Charity is at the heart of the church's social doctrine …. It is the principle not only of micro-relationships (with friends, with family members or within small groups) but also of macro-relationships (social, economic and political ones)." (2)
"Truth needs to be sought, found and expressed within the 'economy' of charity, but charity in its turn needs to be understood, confirmed and practiced in the light of truth. In this way, not only do we do a service to charity enlightened by truth, but we also help give credibility to truth, demonstrating its persuasive and authenticating power in the practical setting of social living. This is a matter of no small account today, in a social and cultural context which relativizes truth, often paying little heed to it and showing increasing reluctance to acknowledge its existence." (2)
"The risk for our time is that the de facto interdependence of people and nations is not matched by ethical interactions of consciences and minds that would give rise to truly human development. Only in charity, illumined by the light of reason and faith, is it possible to pursue development goals that possess a more humane and humanizing value. The sharing of goods and resources, from which authentic development proceeds, is not guaranteed by merely technical progress and relationships of utility, but by the potential of love that overcomes evil with good (cf. Rom 12:21), opening up the path towards reciprocity of conscience and liberties." (9)
"The world's wealth is growing in absolute terms, but inequalities are on the increase. In rich countries, new sectors of society are succumbing to poverty and new forms of poverty are emerging. In poorer areas some groups enjoy a sort of 'superdevelopment' of a wasteful and consumerist kind which forms an unacceptable contrast with the ongoing situations of dehumanizing deprivation." (22)
… "corruption and illegality are unfortunately evident in the conduct of the economic and political class in rich countries, both old and new, as well as in poor ones, Among those who sometimes fail to respect the human rights of workers are large multinational companies as well as local producers." (22)
"On the part of rich countries there is excessive zeal for protecting knowledge through an unduly rigid assertion of the right to intellectual property, especially in the field of health care. At the same time, in some poor countries, cultural models and social norms of behaviour persist which hinder the process of development." (22)
"The mobility of labour, associated with a climate of deregulation, is an important phenomenon with certain positive aspects, because it can stimulate wealth production and cultural exchange. Nevertheless, uncertainty over working conditions caused by mobility and deregulation, when it becomes endemic, tends to create new forms of psychological instability, giving rise to difficulty in forging coherent life-plans, including that of marriage. This leads to situations of human decline, to say nothing of the waste of social resources. In comparison with the casualties of industrial society in the past, unemployment today provokes new forms of economic marginalization, and the current crisis can only make this situation worse. Being out of work or dependent on public or private assistance for a prolonged period undermines the freedom and creativity of the person and his family and social relationships, causing great psychological and spiritual suffering. I would like to remind everyone, especially governments engaged in boosting the world's economic and social assets, that the primary capital to be safeguarded and valued is man, the human person in his or her integrity …. (25)
"Today's international economic scene, marked by grave deviations and failures, requires a profoundly new way of understanding business enterprise. Old models are disappearing, but promising new ones are taking shape on the horizon. Without doubt, one of the greatest risks for businesses is that they are almost exclusively answerable to their investors, thereby limiting their social value. Owing to their growth in scale and the need for more and more capital, it is becoming increasingly rare for business enterprises to be in the hands of a stable director who feels responsible in the long term, not just the short term, for the life and the results of his company, and it is becoming increasingly rare for businesses to depend on a single territory. Moreover, the so-called outsourcing of production can weaken the company's sense of responsibility towards the stakeholders — namely the workers, the suppliers, the consumers, the natural environment and broader society — in favour of the shareholders, who are not tied to a specific geographical area and who therefore enjoy extraordinary mobility. (40)
"… Business management cannot concern itself only with the interests of the proprietors, but must also assume responsibility for all the other stakeholders who contribute to the life of the business: the workers, the clients, the suppliers of various elements of production, the community of reference." (40)
"Due attention must be given to responsible procreation, which among other things has a positive contribution to make to integral human development. The church in her concern for man's authentic development, urges him to have full respect for human values in the exercise of his sexuality. (44)
"Morally responsible openness to life represents a rich social and economic resource. Populous nations have been able to emerge from poverty thanks not least to the size of their population and the talents of their people. On the other hand, formerly prosperous nations are presently passing through a phase of uncertainly and in some cases decline, precisely because of their falling birthrates; this has become a crucial problem for highly affluent societies. The decline in births, falling at times beneath the so-called 'replacement level,' also puts a strain on social welfare systems, increases their cost, eats into savings and hence the financial resources needed for investment, reduces the availability of qualified labourers, and narrows the 'brain pool' upon which nations can draw for their needs. Furthermore, smaller and at times miniscule families run the risk of impoverishing social relations, and failing to ensure effective forms of solidarity. These situations are symptomatic of scant confidence in the future and moral weariness. It is thus becoming a social and even economic necessity once more to hold up to future generations the beauty of marriage and the family and the fact that these institutions correspond to the deepest needs and dignity of the person. In view of this, States are called to enact policies promoting the centrality and the integrity of the family founded on marriage between a man and a woman, the primary vital cell of society, and to assume responsibility for its economic and fiscal needs, while respecting it essentially relational character." (44)
"The environment is God's gift to everyone, and in our use of it we have a responsibility towards the poor, towards future generations and towards humanity as a whole." (48)
… "there is a pressing moral need for renewed solidarity, especially in relationships between developing countries and those that are highly industrialized. The technologically advanced societies can and must lower their domestic energy consumption, either through an evolution in manufacturing methods or through greater ecological sensitivity among their citizens." (49)
… "the decisive issue is the overall moral tenor of society. If there is a lack of respect for the right to life and to a natural death, if human conception, gestation and birth are made artificial, if human embryos are sacrificed to research, the conscience of society ends up losing the concept of human ecology and, along with it, that of environmental ecology." (51)
"The book of nature is one and indivisible: it takes in not only the environment but also life, sexuality, marriage, the family, social relations: in a word, integral human development." (51)
"In the face of unrelenting growth of global interdependence, there is a strongly felt need, even in the midst of a global recession, for a reform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth. One also senses the urgent need to find innovative ways of implementing the principle of responsibility to protect and of giving poorer nations an effective voice in shared decision-making. This seems necessary in order to arrive at a political, juridical and economic order which can increase and give direction to international cooperation for the development of all peoples in solidarity. To manage the global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid any deterioration of the present crisis and the greater imbalances that would result; to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration: for all this, there is urgent need for a true world political authority…."

The 2012 Mitsubishi i will be offered in two different models: the base ES and a premium SE model. Mechanically, the two trims are the same; the i packs a 49-kW (68-horsepower) AC synchronous electric motor and single-speed reduction-gear transmission near the back of this rear-wheel-drive minicar.
The system is powered by a 16-kWh, 300-volt lithium-ion battery pack and can give the i a driving range of up to about 100 miles--although it's rated by the EPA at 62 miles. Recharging takes about 22 hours on a 110-volt household socket, or in about seven hours with a 240-volt Level 2 charger. Level 3 quick charging (if the vehicle is so optioned) can get the MiEV's battery from zero up to 80 percent charge in less than 30 minutes.
The batteries are housed in a waterproof stainless-steel safety cell below the passenger-compartment floor, and if they become too warm, cooled air from the ventilation system is circulated to the pack. During normal driving, regenerative braking helps recover some energy during coasting or braking. The Mitsubishi i comes with an Eco mode that helps save energy and increase range, while a 'B' shifter position helps maximize the regenerative braking.
While the Mitsubishi i is designed to be an urban vehicle, it's not completely out of place on the highway, and is capable of more than 80 mph The Mitsubishi i gets what are pretty typical small-car components for steering and suspension--a front strut setup and de Dion 3-link rear. Staggered tires--wider in back than in front--help keep this rear-wheel-drive vehicle stable and secure.
The Mitsubishi i is just 145 inches long; yet it can accommodate four adults if needed, thanks to the relatively high roofline and short overhangs that help maximize passenger space within the small overall footprint. And thanks to a wheelbase of 100.4 inches--relatively long for such a short vehicle--the Mitsubishi i rides smoothly, without bobbing fore and aft as some minicars tend to do. Also, the interior is surprisingly quiet most of the time, with the near-silent electric powertrain never obtrusive.
Standard features on the base model include heated driver's seat, air conditioning, and a 4-speaker, 100-watt sound system. LED taillamps also help save energy. SE models add alloy wheels, upgraded upholstery, fog lamps, and a 2-tone interior treatment with silver accents. On the SE, a Cold Zone package adds heated mirrors and a battery warming system, while a Premium Package adds to the SE equipment a hard-drive-based navigation system, the Chademo-connector DC quick-charging port, Mitsubishi's FUSE hands-free link for Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port and steering-wheel audio controls.
On the safety front, the i includes front seat-mounted side airbags and roof-mounted side-curtain bags. Anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control are also included.

We do that to ourselves regularly.
- I'm not good (fill in the word) enough.
We ARE good enough. We are sufficient to the task. Sure we need help and as we take the action the answers are there.
You are needed. Remember these wise words from Helen Keller:
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.

The Republican Party's presidential candidates are a sick joke

Herman Cain |
Like a lot of people, for a while there I was faintly amused by its theatrics until the never-ending series of political gaffes began to make me angry.
Week after week we've had to endure these millionaire phony populists, whose bank balances dwarf the average American's, striving to outdo each other with their fake folksy charm.
These people are not folks, or at least not the folks that live on your streets, unless you're reading this in a gated community in Aspen or some such place.
That's why their naked appeals to the basest prejudices of the white working class rankle me so much. In every other avenue of their lives, they will never encounter us after our votes are cast.
And with that aw shucks presentation style they have cheerily prescribed the vile torture tactics of the Khmer Rouge, they have supported the continued persecution and isolation of disfavored minorities like immigrants and gays, and they have passionately defended the absurdly rich from paying their share to participate in our democracy.
If the stakes weren't so high it might be funny. If so many people weren't out of a job and facing the current job market we might even smile.
But these supremely unqualified candidates are running for the highest office in the land and most of them, it's already become clear, would struggle to run a McDonald's.

This week's most delusional player is Herman Cain. Already the subject of sexual harassment complaints by no less than four women (one of them a Tea Party supporting conservative), this week Cain floundered when asked to give his response to President Obama's foreign policy.
"OK, Libya," Cain said, rolling his eyes and taking a very long moment to gather his thoughts after being asked if he agreed or disagreed with Obama's response to the uprising there.
Said Cain, "President Obama supported the uprising. Correct? President Obama called for the removal of Gaddafi. Just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing before I say, 'yes I agree' or 'no I didn't agree,'" he said.
"I do not agree with the way he handled it for the following reason' no that's a different one," the now completely out of his depth Republican contender said, adding he's "got all this stuff twirling around in my head."
He pronounced head as heed. Apparently twirling around in his head was a mature response to the question he was being asked.
But it never emerged. Instead he sounded like an embarrassing mash-up of opportunistic far right talking points and Foghorn Leghorn.
Call it George W. Bush's true legacy. After his desperate example, nowadays literally anyone can imagine themselves qualified to become president of the United States, even a pizza parlor CEO.
Watching this lineup of candidates last weekend, I was struck by their inability to offer even one new idea to strengthen America's foreign policy or develop stronger economic or political ties with our allies and our adversaries.
Of all the candidates onstage, only Jon Huntsman, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich had the gravitas and experience to actually form semi-intelligible answers to the questions they were being asked.
Huntsman in particular likes to wander off the right wing jingoism reservation, to offer serious and considered responses, but in doing so he is forfeiting his chances of ever becoming the GOP nominee.
Romney offered no new vision for America's foreign policy, but nor did he offer insane observations such as Michele Bachmann's contention that President Obama has abandoned Israel to pursue his interest in Occupy Wall Street.
Romney is almost certainly the 2012 candidate, but conservatives mistrust his weather vane performance which comes, after all, from a life spent adapting to market forces rather than political ones.
Gingrich has endorsed torture as an effective tool in the U.S. arsenal (studies have shown that it is not, however) and is completely unelectable -- let's not forget he was dumped by his own party and is unlikely to become its standard bearer ever again.

But this is the moment to reflect that the United States of America has been a beacon of liberty and hope for all nations for longer than any of us have been alive.
True, the fabric of the American Dream is looking threadbare in this new age of crony capitalism and plutocrats on the rise, but hope and history have shown themselves to be thorns in the side of the few who exploit the many for their own gain.
It seems it has become a time for the many to insist the gilded few pay their share -- bailouts should cut both ways, after all.
One thing is certain. The challenges facing the country will not be met by unqualified and unserious candidates who, each time they hog the limelight, show themselves completely unfit for office or the tenor of the times.

First off, absolutely nobody wants a "free market" and anyone who says so is a liar. Every person, industry, and company wants a market that favors them. Corporations spend $trillions trying to stack things in their favor. It is only when someone wants to make changes to help ordinary Americans instead of billionaires and corporations that we hear about it interfering with the free market and part of a irreversible descent into totalitarian communism.

Some Republican candidates have defended waterboarding, but I think it is safe to say that they have not, "cheerily prescribed the vile torture tactics of the Khmer Rouge." Waterboarding was probably the mildest form of torture employed by the Khmer Rouge. Everything else that went on in Tuol Seng would be unanimously condemned by any U.S. or Western politician. The KR had no scruples about burning, cutting and electrocuting any part of a human being while they were still alive. Again, another lame article highlighting anti-Republican ignorance and bigotry that only serves to divide this country.

The Khmer Rouge water-boarded thousands. They understood it was torture. Why don't the GOP candidates?

You really have undone yourself on this one. You actually suggested that Republican candidates endorse the "torture tactics of the Khmer Rouge."
Are you serious? Are you suggesting that since Republican candidates defend waterboarding, they also support the actions of the Khmer Rouge in death camps like Tuol Seng. I think you would be hard pressed to find a single Cambodian that would agree with you. 17,000 Cambodians entered Tuol Seng, were brutally tortured and killed. Only seven walked out alive. I think it is safe to say that waterboarding and what went on in Tuol Seng is a very weak and shameful comparison.

Great article!! I wonder why all the GOP and TP types who seem to have no Common Sense keep insisting that all us busy left leaning people, who do not agree with them on almost all problems, must read the constitution or read the bible or be patriotic or anti union or not be socialist. All these conditions are needed because the GOP and TP types lack the ability to do critical thinking, to solve real problems and to connect the big dots.

Good article, Cahir, but we need to stop "casting our pearls before" the GOP. I do not understand why we keep showing each front runner in their "carnival of fools" primary for the sham that he (or she) is. We need to sit back and let them nominate the most foolish of pack so that we can have the element of surprise during the general election. Why are we veting their candidates for them. I was really diappointed when Cain started to drop in the poles as he would have made such a great loser in 2012. Oh well, maybe he can be Romney's running mate. That strategy worked so well for Palin in 2008. LOL

Won't work. Can't have them muddying up the gene pool.
NP Rank:
Canada and United States have reached an agreement to exempt Canadian firms from the "Buy American" provision in the economic stimulus package, Trade Minister Peter Van loan announced today.
In return, Canadian provinces and municipalities will give the green light to American firms bidding on projects north of the border.
"With this agreement, we are sending a clear message: the best way to create and keep jobs is by opening economic opportunities, not by closing them," Van Loan told a news conference."Canadian suppliers will have guaranteed access to sub-federal procurement in a range of American states and U.S. suppliers will enjoy the same guaranteed access to provincial procurement."
The deal involves 37 U.S. states that adhere to the World Trade Organization's government procurement agreement, ending a dispute that has raged since Congress passed the protectionist measures last year.
"It's clear that our trade and our investment relationship is essential to businesses, communities and people in both countries. We're one another's top export partner, and the deep integration of our markets makes us both more competitive globally."
Ottawa continues to push for a permanent exemption for Canada from any and all Buy American provisions.
Won't work. Can't have them muddying up the gene pool.
Nope we can see Alaska from here:)
It strikes me as a day late and a dollar short. The Buy American Campaign was a violation of the Free Trade Agreement. As far as opening up Canadian markets to the US it's an ongoing process. The firm that built the Canadian pavilion for the 2010 Olympics is US based.
This sounds like a deal in principle with details yet to be worked out. The WSJ article talks about a target date of 16 February. I think they were talking about it also needing ratification by parliament and Congress. So it could be a while yet. Go figure:)
"The Buy American Campaign was a Violation of the Free Trade Agreement"
That's what I was thinking all along too, Barbara. The WSJ mentions this in today's article on the exemption. It's well worth a read, here's a part of it ...
While the restrictions were meant to exempt countries like Canada that have existing trade treaties with the U.S. and have signed on to the World Trade Organization's government procurement pact, the Canadian government in the 1990s excluded its provinces and towns from those rules.
That hitch had frustrated companies on both sides of the border and provoked threats of retaliatory "Buy Canada" action from some Canadian municipalities.
I heard on the news this am that only 37 states are agreeing to this while all controls are being lifted on Canadian provinces. Looks like we're getting the short end of the stick again.

College Students with Children
Most students fail to complete postsecondary education because they need to work to support themselves and their families. According to a recent study, 23 percent of college students have dependent children and 53 percent of those who drop out cite "family responsibilities" as a reason that they cannot return to school. In addition, 13 percent of students are single parents, who are more likely to have low incomes than married parents.

Storm go down fighting vs. Fulton
MANLIUS – The final score may not look close, but Bureau Valley coach Tiffany Gonigam came away encouraged from Thursday night's 49-27 loss to Fulton.
After trailing by 16 at halftime, the Storm bounced back to outscore the Steamers in the third quarter and then cut the deficit down to within 10 points in the fourth quarter.
The Storm got back into the game behind the hot shooting of senior guards Shannon Reuter and Krista Naaktgeboren. A three-pointer from Naaktgeboren with 5:23 remaining made it 37-27 and forced a timeout from Fulton coach Jesse Abbott.
