-- the governor Massachusetts Deval Patrick is president Obama's close friend.
Last night Patrick spoke at the convention.
Mitt Romney talks a lot about all -- -- C six I can tell you Massachusetts.
Was not one of them.
-- a -- and fellow.
And -- great salesman.
But as governor.
He was a lot more interested in having the job then doing the job.
-- well let's take a look at governor Romney's record as opposed to governor Patrick's when Romney left office in 2007 unemployment Massachusetts was four point 6%.
Now under Patrick it's six point 1%.
When -- left office 10% of Massachusetts residents lived in poverty under Patrick eleven and a half percent or poor.
The filing during Romney's term in office he cut the deficit from three billion dollars to seventeen million.
Under Patrick the deficit has risen from 946.
Million to one point three billion.
And Patrick's criticizing Romney's performance.
Join us now from Charlotte -- powers Fox News analyst and Marion marsh.
Is there as well a democratic consultant who lives and works in Boston so -- I just boss.
Governor Patrick -- -- was.
Not -- well I mean Scott Romney and Patrick were governors are very different times.
And Romney balance the budget on the backs of the very people who were at least supported by raising fees and services and everyday people for everyday things he wanted to get married the season -- up he wanted to go ice skating the fees one up.
If you wanted to buy gas -- season and up and if you were blinded needed -- services this season and -- -- my tune of 750.
Million dollars.
Deficit went down.
I mean from three billion dollars heading to California territory.
To a few million.
And then when a Democrat gets even without Patrick -- now you you're right very different times and in the recession.
Causes some kind of you know unemployment spike in poverty spike.
But there have been governors in states of Ohio case it seeded Indiana Mitch Daniels state of Virginia and com.
Who have improve the economy in the teeth of the recession and Deval Patrick has so my question to the government should he decide to come on the program.
And that would be when hell freezes over who is I don't think this is a guy you want to criticize when your record is worse -- -- am -- wrong.
Well that they were very different times but let's after Mitt Romney credit for what where credit is due and I think he did a lot of good things when he was governor and I think balancing the budget was one of those things Marion is right there were a lot of cuts.
That occurred.
But unfortunately when you need to balance the budget you have to make -- and so I think that.
I give him credit for that.
In the Bay Area where he.
Most valid criticism -- get the job situation indeed here all the time he was you know -- -- he's 47.
Country in terms of creating jobs during a -- a different.
Economic time and so that's what's really relevant right now because.
Fifteen that's that is boldness.
Because they almost had -- -- full employment.
They're four and a half percent unemployment in Massachusetts those people are heroin addicts those people are people who.
Walk into walls.
How do you bring the unemployment rate down from four and a half percent fits it's about as -- as it gets.
For now and a half percent of the population.
Can't work -- won't work.
They're done they're -- or lay abouts.
Everybody knows that.
It's a question of how many jobs being created and I think people who are who -- nonpartisan.
Observers haven't said that he wasn't that great at creating job creating what it's not something they need everybody's working on people everybody went home I don't think that's true I'd I don't let's hear.
They -- deferred to -- -- know you.
But would -- to -- LSU isn't he yeah.
I'm very you know there isn't all boldness but my point is I'm not here to defend Mitt Romney and so my job.
I'm here -- citizens politicians like develop -- Get your column on the Republican side as well don't tell intrude.
But don't let anyone advertising -- -- -- We're talking about it because Mitt Romney wants to be president.
And hear the facts speak only state that was doing as badly as Massachusetts at the time creating jobs -- Louisiana after Katrina state government doubled.
When the private sector did not.
In job increases nationally with the increasing it 5% Massachusetts was even married or what is it about the -- -- point six unemployment that you don't understand.
You can't create jobs where everybody's work.
I don't want anything this week.
But when you cut the things I talked about the services -- -- cut education K through twelve in the higher at.
Those are the things that people can you know -- -- one of the best education scores.
He admitted that he.
He cut hundreds of millions of dollars in education you and I both know and they still -- -- solid -- -- -- -- over the top ten year.
And people still need to move up the economic -- -- getting better jobs in you do that with a better education to cut those things and experiences and the cut education nothing.
Kids are operating at a good edit clip that's higher than almost every -- -- state.
And you see it and you can cut money in -- -- of that system and the kids are still doing well you cut money out of the system and I am.
That wasn't bad way he then -- The tax rates for the wealthiest -- cuts and tax rate for corporations.
After cutting all of those services and every -- people an everyday items that's not where I was.
Harry and I -- when when Romney was governor you live there and I was there all the time that seat boom.
It was -- the kids -- learning you have Obama's -- you have Romney here.
Everybody was getting what they needed there.
Deval Patrick would say.
Here's then if he would say look I I have polls Mitt Romney's philosophy.
Hmmm I don't want.
A -- robust.
Capitalistic market place where it's every man for himself I can understand that.
But he misrepresented.
The governor's tenure I would gladly submit this Mitt Romney ran against Deval Patrick the governor Massachusetts.
Romney win.
Last word Pearson golf.
Yes look I think that there has been a lot of misrepresentations.
Both the the conventions.
And -- -- -- -- one really great things something that Republicans don't wanna give -- you know want to pretend it was a real total failure that was Romney care and that is something that.
Major major accomplishment and I don't I think he.
That person -- Massachusetts it's not the person running.
I think he's thinking -- he never would have gotten the Republican nomination and -- -- I love the idea that you have to Steward and its parent losing your little that he wasn't terrible.
I'm glad I wasn't a terrible governor and I think he's the same guy because he cut that deficit from three billion dollars.
Down -- few millions and that's what he's gonna have to do.
In the USA I don't know whether you cannot.
But that would be as mandate if elected ladies.

The 46-year-old Enrico Letta has been named Italy's new prime minister. His good cross-party links are expected to give the deputy leader of the Democratic Party a better chance at unblocking the electoral stalemate and forming a coalition government. Alessandra Galloni profiles Mr. Letta.
ROME— Enrico Letta, a center-left politician viewed as a bridge-builder to the right, was nominated to be Italy's next prime minister Wednesday after a destabilizing, two-month political stalemate.
The choice will likely lead to the formation of another broad coalition government that will have two major challenges on its plate: pulling the country out of recession and fixing its dysfunctional electoral system.
The task won't be an easy one: Mr. Letta will have to rely on the varied and variable support of Silvio Berlusconi's conservative forces who have their own agenda—including a desire for tax cuts—as well his own party's left-wing, who want more public spending.

Mr. Letta, one of Italy's most Europe-minded politicians, is already joining a rising chorus calling for an easing of austerity measures that have hobbled several of the continent's weaker economies—including Italy—and more emphasis on jogging growth and jobs.
"European policies are too focused on austerity, which is no longer sufficient," Mr. Letta said after being nominated by President Giorgio Napolitano.

Italy's New Government
Take a look at some of the key players that took part on the two-month political stalemate that followed February's general election.
If all goes as planned, Italy's new government—which is likely to be made up of politicians of different stripes and some outside experts—could be sworn in by the beginning of next week. It then will face confidence votes in both houses of Parliament.
At 46, Mr. Letta would become one of Europe's youngest leaders. Though he has served as deputy of the center-left Democratic Party since 2009, he has throughout his career shown himself open to dialogue with conservatives.
As a bonus, his uncle, Gianni Letta, is the longtime right-hand man of the billionaire and former premier Silvio Berlusconi, head of the conservative People of Freedom Party. Mr. Berlusconi's green light was a key factor in Mr. Letta's nomination.
Indeed, the lawmakers backing the future government are virtually the same lot that backed the outgoing government of Mario Monti —and caused it to collapse in December, leading to the inconclusive elections in February.
The only major party not to support Mr. Letta—or a grand coalition government—is the Five-Star Movement led by a former comedian, Beppe Grillo. Five-Star won one out of four votes in February's elections and is set to be a formidable opposition force in Italy's new parliament.
"I'm not sure that this is a real service for the country and that it is the answer that Italy needed," Sergio Fabbrini, political science professor and director of the school of government at Rome's LUISS University, said of Mr. Letta's choice. "A divided Parliament and a government majority backed by rival parties doesn't bode well for real, effective reforms."
In his speech on Wednesday, Mr. Letta singled out poverty, an exodus by disillusioned young people and the loss of credibility of Italy's political class as priorities for the next government.
"The situation is fragile and very difficult," said Mr. Letta, who had driven his Fiat minivan to the president's palace earlier in the day. "We need to find solutions above all to these problems."
Also high on the agenda will be to pass an electoral law to reduce the kind of political instability seen over the past two months. The twist is that once that's done, there will be few common interests binding the coalition—which is why many think the new government is not likely to have a long life.
Yet the economic tasks are more immediate, as Mr. Letta noted. Not only are there no funds to kick-start job creation, but more resources must be found if the government wants to avoid a sales tax increase scheduled to go into effect on July 1.

Another delicate balancing act will be to keep Italy's public finances steady while fielding the center-right coalition's demands that an unpopular property tax introduced by Mr. Monti be abolished.
Mr. Letta pointed out that it would impossible to eliminate the tax without pulling down Italy's borrowing costs by a percentage point.

More quote details and news » said in a research note. "Once these are achieved, the grand coalition may prove too weak to tackle delicate measures."
In surveys released this week, Mr. Berlusconi's party was polling ahead of the Democratic Party. But without a change in Italy's electoral law, no party would be likely to win conclusively if the country went to another vote with the current system.
The events of Wednesday capped a convulsive week during which Mr. Napolitano was re-elected for a second term as president. The Democratic Party's first two candidates for president were stymied—partly because of a rebellion with the party's own ranks.

Editor's Notebook: May 1997
Many years ago, when I was an undergraduate student, I volunteered to transcribe
an oral history interview with Hans Richter, one of the pioneers of European
avant garde cinema, whose career dated back to the 1920s. One of the comments
that stuck with me all these years was about an offer he had to make an
advertising film. As he considered himself first and foremost an artist,
he refused. Later, after seeing the resulting film, he was so delighted
that he changed his mind towards working on such films.
Today, with the likes of Spike Lee making commercials, the specter of selling
out has long since vanished; this has been especially so for animators,
as early on advertising films became an integral part of the animation
mainstream. Thus, the commercial studio run by Julius Pinschewer in pre-Nazi
Germany was certainly one of the most important in that country's animation
history, employing the likes of such artists as Oskar Fischinger, among
others; Fischinger, in turn, supported his experimental work by working
on commercials, including the first one to employ marching cigarettes (well
before Lucky Strike did in the US in the early years of TV). (The key role
advertising films have played in helping establish animation in Norway
is vividly illustrated elsewhere by Gunnar Strøm's discourse on
"Fumes From the Fjords.")
In the United States, Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) probably had his professional
introduction to animation via advertising films, long before his books
were adapted to the screen and he wrote the original story for Gerald
McBoing-Boing. With the coming of television, commercial studios liberated
many animators from dependence on a few theatrical studios as their almost
sole source of employment; in fact, spot houses came to dominate the New
York animation industry in the 1950s. It was an era when such studios as
UPA and Hanna-Barbera set up major commercial operations and which is still
looked upon as a Golden Age of American Animated Commercials.
Today, with the worldwide toon boom going on apace, commercials no longer
play as dominant a role in the global animation community; nevertheless,
it remains a fertile ground for creativity. In the US, this can be seen
by increasing use of independent animators and designers by such companies
as The Ink Tank, J.J. Sedelmaier, Klasky Csupo, Duck Soup and Acme Filmworks.
At the same time, digital studios like Blue Sky and Rhythm & Hues use
their commercials as a means to push the boundaries of CG animation. With
the proliferation of new TV channels around the world, many of whom are
advertiser supported, animated commercials would seem to have a very long
life ahead of them.
With this issue, I am stepping down as Editor of Animation World Magazine
to devote more time to various personal projects, including The Animation
Report, the industry newsletter I edit and publish. It is not a decision
I took lightly, as editing Animation World Magazine has been a wonderful
experience, which enabled me to both explore the heady possibilities of
publishing on the Internet, as well as establishing an exciting new journal
of news and opinion.
Before departing, I would like to offer a few observations about Internet
publishing. When I was first approached about this assignment in
late 1995, the conventional wisdom held that none of the old rules for
putting together a print magazine really applied to online journals. After
all, given the nature of computers, readers probably had little tolerance
for articles of more than a few hundred words. Needless to say, we ignored
this sort of opinion and realized that Internet publishing gave one the
freedom to publish longer articles without having to worry about printing
costs. (As it turns out, the most popular article in the first issue was
Barry Purves' "The Emperor's New Clothes," a delightful essay
on computer vs. stop-motion animation, was one of the longest we ran in
our early months.

R.I.P. AZ Wine Lifestyle magazine
Monday, December 2nd, 2013Today we say good-bye to one of my favorite magazines—the AZ Wine Lifestyle, published by Josh and Rhonni Moffitt. The team is pulling the plug on the print version of this fine-looking quarterly, after a full six years of publication. In the Letter from the Publisher in this last issue (Winter 2013), Rhonni said:
"It's with a very heavy heart to inform you that this will be our last issue of the print publication. After much soul searching, financial planning, and deep thought, Josh and I have had to make the decision to close the magazine."
This magazine has served as my guidebook of the Arizona wine industry, showcasing Arizona's wine—its people, wines, vineyards, farming, events, struggles, successes, and phenomenal growth. The first time I picked up an issue Arizona Vines & Wines (its former name), I was impressed with its quality production and gorgeous advertisements. But mostly, I was captivated by the wealth of information about what all was going on in the wine industry throughout the state. With every quarterly issue since, I realized more and more wine-tasting destinations, as well as more public wine events. It has served as a monitor to my self-imposed education on Arizona wine and winemakers. Readers also could delight with articles about fine restaurants and places to enjoy locally produced wines, plus art, beer, spirits, and brewery options of all sorts. These pages have truly have brought the Arizona wine industry to life and infused it with a huge following of lovers of Arizona-produced wines.
The publishing team will continue to run their website, including wine country information, event calendar, and blog updates. A weekly email newsletter, The Grapevine, will also continue to keep subscribers informed on a timely basis. You'll want to grab your own copy of the AZ Wine Lifestyles Winter 2013 issue, now available in wine tasting rooms, wine shops, many restaurants, and several supermarkets throughout the state.
The Moffitts have been a joy to work with, and I'm most proud to have had the opportunity to contribute to this magazine on occasion. I wish them the very best, and raise a glass to their continued success and happiness, wherever their next chapter leads.

what is this
why am I laughing so much
Supermodel Karlie Kloss was photoshopped to look less thin for a Numero campaign. There are so many things wrong with this. Models are forced to be incredibly thin to fit a certain aesthetic, but when they do, they're so emaciated that they have to be photoshopped to not look sick.
Robin Hardy, a former creative director at Vogue, has commented on the practice of photoshopping to cover up the aesthetic and health costs of extreme thinness:
"At the time, when we pored over the raw images, creating the appearance of smooth flesh over protruding ribs, softening the look of collarbones that stuck out like coat hangers, adding curves to flat bottoms and cleavage to pigeon chests, we felt we were doing the right thing…
But now, I wonder. Because for all our retouching, it was still clear to the reader that these women were very, very thin. But, hey, they still looked great!
They had 22-inch waists (those were never made bigger), but they also had breasts and great skin. They had teeny tiny ankles and thin thighs, but they still had luscious hair and full cheeks.
Thanks to retouching, our readers… never saw the horrible, hungry downside of skinny. That these underweight girls didn't look glamorous in the flesh. Their skeletal bodies, dull, thinning hair, spots and dark circles under their eyes were magicked away by technology, leaving only the allure of coltish limbs and Bambi eyes."

Park Avenue, Estate of the Day
Filed under: Estates
Another case of exquisite decoration and a good chance to do some artspotting, this New York apartment is located in the East 70's on Park Avenue. The corner apartment has a large gallery area, library, dining room and living room and all sorts of elaborate details like the intricate wood floor shown above. There are five bedrooms with bathrooms and large closets. The master suite includes a fireplace. The co-op costs $21 million and there is no terrace. After the jump, is that a Basquiat I see on the wall?

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Greg Ehnes, the owner of Springs Transmissions and Automotive, has been arrested on felony charges for theft and crimes committed against at-risk adults, Colorado Springs police confirm Thursday.
11 News first learned of Ehnes' arrest Wednesday, the day he was taken into custody, but police were not immediately forthcoming with information regarding his arrest.
11 Call for Action reporter Betty Sexton has been investigating Springs Transmissions and Automotive for months after getting reports of shoddy work and even theft from customers.
Last month, police searched the business and announced they knew of at least 22 victims. Officers told us at that time they wanted others to come forward, and that they suspected there could be upwards of 50 victims.
Deceptive business practices, car theft, motor vehicle repair violations and fraud were among the customer complaints police reported hearing.
11 News spoke with Ehnes while police were investigation. He said he was innocent, and that the fraud allegations against him were completely untrue.
"I'm very frustrated. If I do something wrong, just be straight. They're trying to frame me," Ehnes said at the time.
Ehnes admitted that some cars worked on in his shop were not properly fixed, but he says he fired the mechanics responsible and hired new help.
Police ask that anyone with complaints against Springs Transmissions and Automotive call CSPD at 444-7000.

What is reflux in infants?
Tuesday, June 26th, 2012All babies spit up or throw up now and then. But some do so more often than usual. This is called reflux. Reflux is short for gastroesophageal reflux or GER. Reflux is common among premature babies, but full-term babies can have it, too. The good news is that most babies outgrow it after a few months. Only 1 percent of babies are still spitting up after their first birthday.
Here's what happens with reflux. Food first passes through the mouth and the esophagus into the stomach. Once the food is in the stomach, some of it comes back up the esophagus and out of the mouth all over Junior and often you, too.
Most babies with reflux are less bothered by it than their parents. They grow and develop normally while Mom and Dad worry if their child is getting enough to eat. But for a few babies, reflux is more serious and the baby needs medication to make sure reflux is not dangerous and that he is growing well. In rare cases, surgery to tighten the muscle that regulates the flow of food into (and back out of) the stomach needs to be tightened. This procedure is called a fundoplication. The University of California, San Francisco has a good article about pediatric fundoplication at this link.
If your baby is otherwise healthy and putting on weight, the doc probably will take a wait and see stance. In time, your little one should outgrow this messy condition. But if your baby's doctor feels there is a possibility of a more serious condition, she may recommend a few tests. Tests can include blood and urine tests, an analysis of the acid level in your baby's esophagus, possible x-rays of the upper gastrointestinal tract (an upper GI series).
If you are facing reflux, you may want to know more. For feeding tips and to learn when to call your baby's health care provider, read this article.

text: For some of you, this may be your worst nightmare. If you have ever been stung by a bee, you can imagine the fear of 30,000 bee stings. In Almeda Brown's home in Florida, 30,000 bees made their own home with attaching a 2 foot long hive. Luckily, Almeda is not frightened by the bees.

One of my favorite Oscar categories is costume design. When designers work on a movie, they let their imaginations go free and create rich, interesting pieces of clothing for their characters. Nothing exemplifies this more than this year's list of nominees.
The designers for Anna Karenina, Les Miserables, Lincoln, Mirror Mirror, and Snow White and the Huntsman were all nominated for their work. Jacqueline Durran for Anna Karenina took home the award— click through the gallery to see all the Oscar-worthy costumes! xoxo, Whit
