Head Coach Lindsay Gottlieb
"I'm as proud of this win as any we have had this season. I think our players really stepped up. We played like a team. Our depth came through. [Layshia Clarendon] stepped up like a super star. She is such an unassuming super star. We ask her to distribute and play within the offense and tonight I said, let's ride it. The play she was most excited about was when she passed to [Lindsay Sherbert] and [Sherbert] hit the three. I am very, very proud of our defensive effort down the stretch and just our ability to suck it up and say 'We can win from behind. We can win in altitude. We can win on the road.' I am very proud of our team tonight."
"At halftime, I am not much of a screamer or whatever, but I got on them a little bit at halftime. I felt like we weren't doing what we needed to do defensively. We were getting taken by the posts and the guards. I thought we really stepped it up, especially in the latter part of the second half. We switched to a zone, just to mix it up. Our players really owned that. We got on them about getting stop after stop and that will ignite the offense."
On Lindsay Sherbert's shooting
"We love our depth. We think it is rare on a college basketball team where you can have a starter out (and obviously Afure gives us a lot), but we stepped in with someone else who is another starter. Sherb's been practicing great. I think we are at the point where every time a shot leaves her hands, we expect it to go in. But really, because of the versatility of our team, you have to pick your poison a little bit. I thought people stepped up tonight and did what they do well. And that is what we needed the most."
Junior Guard Layshia Clarendon
On her role in the second half comeback
"I think it all started defensively. When you get stops, there is less pressure to score offensively, and then you just sort of fall back. And then we were in control. So then we were like 'okay, take your time. Get good shots. It all started on defense. The team, collectively. The coaches. Switching to zone. Defensive effort."

Deep or broad?
The WORLD team can focus on addressing loyal readers or attracting new ones
The fellow sitting next to me at a conference in Chicago turned out to be a WORLD subscriber. By and large, he said, he was an appreciative reader. But didn't I agree with him, he suggested, that sometimes we were just a bit superficial in our treatment? Couldn't we set our plow a little deeper in our pursuit of this thing we call a Christian worldview?
That conversation was quite a contrast with the one I'd had 24 hours earlier on my flight to Chicago. The woman sitting next to me was a cordial middle-aged university professor, and in many ways very worldly-wise. She asked me what I did for a living, and I told her about our efforts to build a news organization from a Christian perspective. When that didn't seem to register, I used the term "worldview." I'm not sure she'd ever heard it. "You mean to be telling me," she said in disbelief, "that you think there's a religious aspect to everything?"
There's always been a little tension among those of us responsible for WORLD's editorial package. Is that package, we ask ourselves and each other, for insiders or outsiders?
When we focus on the insiders-or, as we put it sometimes, when we're preaching to the choir-we're very much addressing this thing we call a biblical worldview. We're plumbing and honing and refining that worldview for people who already agree that such a perspective is important. They just want to understand it better, define it more accurately, and be able to apply it to their day-to-day lives more effectively. That was the man sitting next to me at the conference.
When we're focusing on the outsiders, though-like the woman on the plane-we're dealing with folks who aren't used to thinking in such terms. They tend to see "religion" as separate from all the rest of life. They're startled when they see WORLD talking in its various columns as though there's a proper spiritual dimension to economics and war and the visual arts and global warming and the latest novel or movie.
So now I ask you, if you were on WORLD's management team over the next year, where you would put your primary focus-going deeper for our loyal band of regular readers, or going broader to attract newcomers. How would you spend WORLD's resources?
The two assignments are not mutually exclusive; they feed on each other. The more we strengthen our journalistic performance and help our readers think things through from a vital Christian perspective, the more WORLD's reputation and circulation will grow. And the more they grow, the more resources we'll have to improve our editorial performance.
WORLD publisher Nick Eicher outlined in our Nov. 20 issue some details of how we intend to expand our news-gathering team. If you missed that column, please go back and read it now.
Then let me be bold here and ask you not just to make a theoretic choice in this matter. Would you instead pull out your checkbook and write out a check as a gift to WORLD magazine for $25, $100, $1,000-or even more. And with your check would you also indicate how much of it you think we should spend on going deeper and how much on going broader. I'll report back to you in a future column what you collectively tell us-and we'll use your own gift exactly as you indicate as your preference.
Every gift to WORLD, or to our ministry to children through God's World News, is fully deductible for tax purposes. You can click here to securely donate online or to find out how to make a contribution by mail.
And, as I have said in this space once each year for the last 15 years or so, I'd love to find a handful of you for whom this journalistic cause is so important that you'd like to explore giving $5,000 annually for the next three years. If that interests you, please call me (828-232-5415), email me, or write me at Box 2330, Asheville, NC 28802.
However you get in touch, be sure to say whether it's the man at the conference or the woman on the plane who should be getting WORLD's main attention in the months just ahead.

Congress OKs stopgap bill to keep government open
WASHINGTON With a $410 billion catchall spending bill stalled in the Senate and a midnight deadline looming, Congress rushed through stopgap legislation Friday to keep the government running for another five days.
The House passed the bill by a 328-50 vote; the Senate acted by unanimous voice vote. President Barack Obama signed the measure later in the day, White House officials said early Friday evening.
The stopgap measure was needed because on Thursday night, Senate Republicans unexpectedly put the brakes on the sweeping measure. The so-called omnibus bill would award domestic agencies with big spending increases and it also contains about 8,000 pet projects sought by lawmakers.
House Republicans unsuccessfully tried to freeze most domestic agencies at current levels, but were easily defeated.
"Spending as usual with thousands upon thousands of earmarks and special projects is not what the American people expect from this Congress during these difficult times," said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind.
With most Republicans denouncing the bill as too costly and a few Democrats opposing it as well, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called off a key procedural vote – just one vote short of the 60 needed to send the measure to the White House.
Several Republicans who support the bill withheld their support of the procedural vote to force Reid to let other Republicans offer amendments, including ones to extend a local school voucher program in Washington, D.C., and to require lawmakers to approve their pay hikes instead of getting automatic cost-of-living raises every year.
With the vote postponed until at least Tuesday, both the House and Senate had to pass the stopgap spending measure by midnight Friday to prevent a shutdown of most domestic agencies. Midnight is when a temporary law that keeps the government in business, mostly at 2008 spending levels, expires.
If the larger spending bill ends up being amended by the Senate, the House would again have to act on that bill, giving Republicans more chances to launch political attacks.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., privately threatened to abandon the bill altogether Thursday night, infuriated that GOP leaders were stalling it even though they helped craft it and have a big stake in its passage, according to a Democratic leadership aide. The aide demanded anonymity to speak frankly about a private meeting.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who has numerous earmarks for Kentucky in the bill and benefits from an increased staff allowance for Republicans, had previously praised the measure before turning against it in the wake of Obama's costly economic stimulus bill.
Senate Democratic leaders prevailed upon Pelosi to stick with the measure for now. Letting it die would deny large spending increases for some of Democrats' favorite programs, such as food aid for children and pregnant women, in addition to billions of dollars for lawmakers' pet projects.
Amid the debate over spending, the government delivered more bad economic news on Friday – a spike in unemployment to 8.1 percent. That prompted the top House Republican to call for a freeze on spending until the end of the fiscal year and plead with Obama to veto the Senate measure.
Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the bill is loaded with "unscrutinized taxpayer-funded earmarks" that are "a textbook example of why Americans have grown so fed up with Washington."
Democrats and their allies control 58 seats, though at least a few Democrats oppose the measure over its cost or changes in U.S. policy toward Cuba. That meant Democrats needed five or six Republican votes to advance the bill. But key Republicans such as Olympia Snowe of Maine withheld their votes to force Reid to open the measure to further amendments.

ASHBURN, Va. (WUSA) --Some of the most powerful Republican political women gathered in Ashburn on Tuesday to discuss women's issues.
The political battle has been on all year to sway female voters. And in a swing state like Virginia, both presidential campaigns have put an intense focus on women, and women's issues.
Scott Broom spent the day in Loudoun County where he saw evidence of the Republican side's work in getting the women's vote. See the above video for his report.

Good morning and welcome to KeyCorp's 2011 First Quarter Earnings Results Conference Call. This call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the call over to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Henry Meyer. Mr. Meyer, please go ahead.
Henry Meyer
Thank you, operator. Good morning and welcome to KeyCorp's First Quarter 2011 Earnings Conference Call. Joining me for today's presentation is Key's President and Chief Operating Officer and CEO-elect, Beth Mooney; and Jeff Weeden, our CFO. Available for the Q&A portion of the call are the leaders of Key Corporate Bank and Key Community Bank, Chris Gorman and Bill Koehler. Also joining us for the Q&A discussion are our Chief Risk Officer, Chuck Hyle; and our Treasurer, Joe Vayda. Now if you turn to the next slide.
Slide 2 is our forward-looking disclosure statement. It covers our presentation materials and comments, as well as the question-and-answer segment of our call today.
Slide 3 highlights the specific capital actions that were part of our comprehensive capital plan that was submitted to the Federal Reserve earlier this year. We were informed on March 18 that the Fed had no objections to our plan. This allowed us to move forward in repurchasing the $2.5 billion in preferred shares held by the U.S. Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program. This was completed on March 30. That transaction followed the successful completion of about $625 million common equity offering and a $1 billion senior debt offering. A common equity issuance represented 25% of the TARP Capital, which is one of the lowest capital replacement percentages among the 19 SCAP [Supervisory Capital Assessment Program] institutions. This was accomplished by improving our financial performance, including returning the company to sustained profitability, improving credit quality and continuing to build our strong capital position. That put us in a position to repurchase the TARP shares in a less dilutive manner than would have been the case if we had proceeded earlier.
After repurchase of the TARP preferred shares, the U.S. Treasury continues to hold a warrant to purchase 35.2 million shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $10.64 per share. Key has notified the U.S. Treasury of its intent to repurchase the outstanding warrant.
Our capital plan also included an increase in our quarterly common stock dividend from $0.01 to $0.03 in the second quarter of 2011, subject to the approval of Key's Board of Directors when they meet in May. Future increases will be evaluated by the Board based on profitability, financial condition and other factors.
Slide 4 shows the significant progress we've made on Keyvolution initiative. To date, we've realized approximately $317 million in annual run rate savings, which puts us in our targeted range of $300 million to $375 million. We have leveraged our technology and implemented dozens of individual efficiency initiatives to lower expenses and to change our cost base to be more variable in relation to business activity. As we have discussed in previous calls, a portion of the savings have been reinvested back in our businesses, including new branches, technology and people. And we don't view Keyvolution as an endpoint. In a slower growth environment, expense management is a critical factor in remaining competitive and producing value for our shareholders.
Now let me turn the call over to Beth Mooney to provide some overview comments on the quarter and her thoughts on the way we position Key for the future. Beth?
Beth Mooney
Thank you, Henry. And starting on Slide 5. This morning, we announced first quarter net income from continuing operations of $184 million or $0.21 per common share. Our first quarter results showed continued improvement in credit quality and disciplined expense control. Key's favorable credit quality trends have benefited from the ongoing modest economic recovery and the aggressive actions that we began over four years ago to exit higher risk lending activity. The result has been continued improvement across the majority of our loan portfolio, in both Key Community Bank and Key Corporate Bank. Key's net charge-offs are now at the lowest level since the first quarter of 2008, and nonperforming assets have declined for six consecutive quarters. We expect to continue to see decreasing levels of net charge-offs and nonperforming assets during 2011.
In terms of our balance sheet, Key remains in a strong position in terms of capital, liquidity and reserve. Our Tier 1 common equity ratio at March 31 was 10.7% and our Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.44%. These capital levels position us well for a successful transition to Basel III, and we remain among the highest in our peer group.

You guys think they will change the logo that is on Cy's chest?
Just an idea I had:
Do we really need another twist on this to discuss? (no pun intended)
"It is the nature of man to rise to greatness if greatness is expected of him."

Why not? This is a message board!
I know, I just know this will turn into another Gold/Red/White helmet issue. I personally don't care as long as at it looks good and can give us an identity that will stick for a while. I know based off the past that this is asking a lot but I would really like for us to be able to be identified nationally someday. (I'm thinking that will take more from the on field product then it will out colors/logos.)
You are right this is exactly what message boards are for, fan discussions of team activities/performance/looks. (seriously)
I agree with you, and I really hope we become a nationally recognized brand. But you gotta believe that the wordmark logo on Cy currently is going to be swapped out to the I-State logo, as with all of the old logos eventually being phased out.
But I tell you, I cannot wait to see the new uniforms in person next fall, and I just thought Cy should also be a part of the new change and direction.
I would like it, but the also have "Iowa State" as an approved word mark that would work also in the new colors. Either way I will be happy as long as he is still roaming the sidelines.
if you have to be naked to win then get naked... otherwise who cares what I understand...
I would be surprised if the new logo isn't on Cy's chest. I also wonder if they might change his color to the darker cardinal?
I would say the chances of the new I-State logo being on Cy are nearly 100%. Back in the 80s (and prior to that), Cy had a large I on his chest...the new logo is very similar (with the addition of the State part).
I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.
I brought this up a few months ago. I think they will have to change him... but, he is rarely naked these days. He has more outfits than Barbie! ;)
I am so used to him in clothes of some sort that when he walks around without them, I always tell ripvdub that Cy is naked.
Just in case you didn't know... I'm a girl.
I think it would look a lot cooler to have a darker cy.
Cant they give Cy a HUGE fiberglass head like our rivals to the east have had for the last 30 years? Can you imagine the headbutts Cy could laydown on opposing Mascots? Then we truly would have the fiercest mascot alive.
I think Herky looks goofy with a huge head and a normal sized body... Definitly out of proportion imo.

Posted on 09/09/2012 2:56:23 PM PDT by RDangerfield
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows President Obama attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns 45% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.
Swing state tracking results are updated daily for subscribers at 10:00 a.m. Eastern. Take advantage of a limited-time-only discount to subscribe.
This is the presidents biggest lead over Romney among Likely Voters since March 17. See daily tracking history. Obamas convention bounce is evident both in the head-to-head numbers with Romney and in his Job Approval ratings (see below).
The president has made significant gains among voters aged 40-64. Platinum Members can see demographic breakdowns and additional information from the tracking poll on a daily basis.
The presidents bounce began the night after Bill Clinton spoke to the convention and received rave reviews. Sixty-six percent (66%) of voters nationwide have a favorable opinion of the former president. Democrats overwhelmingly believe Clinton and Obama have similar views on how to fix the economy, but few Republicans and unaffiliated voters share that assessment. Among all voters, 59% see Clinton as a better president, while 19% prefer Obama. Democrats are evenly divided. (see the rest at link)
(Excerpt) Read more at rasmussenreports.com ...
Gallup showed a rise of six points for Obama from +1 Romney last Sunday to +5 Obama today.
Does this foretell an actual bounce for Obama?
Compared to Romney's convention bounced of exactly one point from his Sunday to Sunday? A lead now vanished?
"The presidents bounce began the night after Bill Clinton spoke to the convention and received rave reviews. Sixty-six percent (66%) of voters nationwide have a favorable opinion of the former president."
At some point, the Clinton glow is going to fade as they realize Obama is more of the same horrible grind.
The unemployment picture is not going away.
Horse ka ka...gotta be pubbies hanging up on pollsters...yes, I do have a BS in statistics and know how surveys are formed...I don't trust any of them, even Rasmussen. Money talks.
This indicates to me that most of the ignorant freeloaders think Slick Willie is running again with Sandy Fluke as his running mate. Free condoms for everybody!
They've been re-hypnotized.
Somebody just told me that they watched the DNC lie fest and felt "very reassured that the country was headed in the right direction."
[if 'straight to hell' is the right direction, they have a valid point]
I have a theory, now.
People who cannot be hypnotized, like me, are immune to his incessant lies and neurolinguistic programming crap.
Those who support him are wide open to suggestion.
[and totally disconnected from reality]
Romney is going to have to kick it up a notch. Since Romney opened up on Newt in Florida, this has been his race to lose, and right now he's losing! Romney's potomac two step on the economy is not helping, people want to hear how he will fix things. His Vision that he "can get this done" can only go so far, "Vision without Execution is Hallucination." ~Thomas Edison
66% have a favorable oppinion of Clinton. That means only 34% of the people in this country use their brain. That also means this country is in deep trouble.
The DNC spoke to people who want to be given things and that want the government to run their lives. They heard just what they wanted to hear. As that group grows in numbers, the tipping point toward socialism is not far off.
If you think this is bad, wait until Rasmussen releases his Generic Congressional Ballot poll and ObamaCare poll tomorrow. I suspect the Dems will be up by at least 5 points and support for repeal of 0bamamCare will underwater for the first time. I also suspect 0bama will sprint out to a 52%-42% lead. The trend is heavily moving in his favor.
We may not want to admit it, but the Democrat convention was a rousing success. Yes it's message was anti God, anti Israel, pro leftism, pro baby killing and pro freebies, but sadly that is where a majority of Americans now stand. This is 0bama Nation......and it is an abomonation.
God will punish us severely
It makes the first debate crucial.
66% of whom?
Unconvicted rapists?
....so I guess the new buzz word is "unaffiliated" since Odungo lost 16% of the "indies" with snake heads internal poll
So,come October 1st do we start to panic if Romney does not lead?
This will come down to pretty simple arithmatic and these polls mean nothing. All Romney has to do is hold onto the states that McAmnesty carried in 2008 and win a few that Obama carried like Florida, Ohio, Virginia and NC and Romney is the next president. That is exactly what will happen if both candidates numbers stay in the 40s through election day. Conservatives did not come out in force for McAmnesty in 2008 and he got no where near the conservative votes that Bush got in 2004. Obama is so damn bad and despised by all republicans that Romney will get more votes than McAmnesty got four years ago. Coupled that with Obummer not getting nearly as many black votes, hispanic, and Catholic votes (because he has pissed off everybody), and therefore not coming close to his vote total four years ago and folks we have a pretty convincing win for Romney. Now if Obama starts consistently polling higher than 50%, we are in a heap of damn trouble, because that would indicate that there are more braindead socialists in this country than red-blooded Americans and this grand experiment in democracy called the USA has ended after 250 years and went the way of ancient Rome.
"66% have a favorable oppinion of Clinton"
I absolutely refuse to believe this poll. He has a 66% favorable rating if the ones being asked are democrats. I know of not one single republican that would speak highly of this shyster, womanizing, serial rapist Clinton. Not a one.
Other polls the last few years, not connected to political races, show the nation becoming more pro-life. So I don't think that part's right. But the pro-baby-murder contingent is as loud as ever.
If this doesn't get close soon, I'm gonna stop sending money to Romney. No sense throwing good money after bad.
Youth vote and I am not kidding. There are those who were 17 when Obama was elected and now are 20 and 21 years old who hated the fact that they couldn't vote for him then and are voting for him now. The ones who he pissed off that did vote for him and are sitting this one out are simply being replaced by the new ones.
Romney/Ryan have zero attack on the ground for the youth vote. They are being completely shut out and you have schools that are filled with teachers that are filling their heads with pro-Obama garbage.
Obama is nowhere near as popular as he was in 2008, but he is going to hold Florida and likely Ohio and that spells trouble for team Romney. Romney will likely regain Virginia and North Carolina for the Republicans but not having Florida and Ohio means he is going to have to pull off a miracle win in Wisconsin and New Hampshire and Maine all 3 are in play for him.
The Clinton effect. He has to ride the coat tails of an ex-president from the 90's to get a bounce. Pretty pathetic when you think about it.
You realize that Reagan was behind in polls until very close to election day.
I'm discouraged. This is insane. Even if Clinton was a factor, why was he a positive factor? I don't believe it.
Re: "Obama is nowhere near as popular as he was in 2008, but he is going to hold Florida and likely Ohio and that spells trouble for team Romney. Romney will likely regain Virginia and North Carolina for the Republicans but not having Florida and Ohio means he is going to have to pull off a miracle win in Wisconsin and New Hampshire and Maine all 3 are in play for him."
That too will be tough. According to realclearpolitics.com average of polls, here is the present situation in those three states you named, my favorite headache:
Maine +15.4 Obama, not in play by any definition
New Hampshire +3.5 average for Obama, last poll in August +6 Obama
Wisconsin +1.4 Obama, Ryan selection brought it up to a Romney advantage but last two polls back to Obama lead
That's why the unemployed will vote for Hussein. They figure tight fisted Romney will stop their long term unemployment benefits (which he will).
The more unemployed, the more on food stamps, the more votes for Hussein.
Youth don't vote - not in as big numbers as they did in 2008.
FL,VA and NC went to Obama by thin margins in 2008. Romney should win those.
The fight will be in Ohio.
I guess keep writing the checks. O46R45 swing state poll, R49O45 ARG poll likely voters
No, we panic now. As I've been saying all along, Romney is going to get slaughtered in Nov. I don't think some here quite appreciate the disaster that is Mitt Romney. And more frighteningly, it will be worse for Conservatism if he wins. He will kill t dead.
This is a disaster of EPIC proportions.
Romney isn't even close to Reagan. These are VERY VERY different times. The comparison just can't be made.
First debate:
Hussein: Thank you, Mr. Romney, for helping us, giving us a blueprint of how you put in Mass. Healthcare for all.
Romney: ahhh, ahhh, ahhh...
Well, the Dims (at the Dim Convention) came right out and said that the American people belong to the government (i.e., we are subjects, not citizens). Unfortunately, at least 49% of the American people believe that.
clinton did NOT attack romney.
he avoided romney in order to hedge his bets.
clinton made obama cool his heels backstage for 58 minutes.
don't forget obama has MSM free money in the form of in kind help.
"Those who support him are wide open to suggestion."
Well then we should start using that flaw to our advantage. Start dropping suggestions.
Maine, like Nebraska, split their electoral votes by congressional district.
There are only two congressional districts in Maine. It's possible that Romney could win the 2nd district, which is the northern half of Maine. Plenty of libs in southern Maine, the 1st congressional district.....it's close to Massachusetts.
The winner of each district gets one electoral vote. The statewide winner of the popular vote gets two more. In this scenario, if Obama wins southern Maine and Romney wins northern Maine, and Obama wins the statewide popular vote, Obama would get 3 electoral votes and Romney would get one.
On a ten mile stretch of two-lane road in my area (in the 2nd district) the other day, I counted 25 Romney signs and just 3 Obama signs. So you never know.
If America only knew.....
(And if somebody doesnt REALLY expose the Marxist/Muslim sob to the American people, we will lose again.)
The best Obama exposure site on the net:
(by our own FReeper, Beckwith)
The Obama File
The United States Library of Congress has selected
TheObamaFile.com for inclusion in its historic collection
of Internet materials
Just a few pages from the massive file:
2012 is an important year to remember 9/11 because our younger generations are the most in danger of forgetting what really happened.
Or worse, our younger generations are susceptible to getting a politically correct view of 9/11. Many on the Left have tried to turn 9/11 into a day of national service or a celebration of tolerance, instead of remembering that radical jihad attacked this nation because of our western values.
Watch this moving tribute to the heroes of 9/11
composed by a man who lived through it:
(music by Enya)
It is the most viewed video of all,
and is now in the Smithsonian.
Well I hope you relizes that polls after a convention bounce are not accurate predictors of the final victor at a minimum. We have to fight to throw Obama out no matter what. If a mere poll is enough to embrace defeat. We deserve Obama.
WHY has that Youtube video been flagged as "potentially offensive or inappropriate"???
Hey, people, come in off the ledge - as someone on another thread advised. Remember that the lamestream media hyped this convention to the hilt, acting like it was a reincarnation of the Messiah's 2008 convention, when clearly it was not. So, I don't think these polls reflect anything more than the hype of Bill Clinton's nominating speech.
The lamestream media wins elections for the Communist Democrat Party even when public sentiment is nowhere near enough to elect a dangerous man like Barack Hussein Obama. Polls show only 20 percent, while 41 percent are conservatives. This, too, shall pass. Romney needs to get his ass in gear and go on the attack.
I keep hoping that the debate that Obama has with Romney will help Romney a lot, the problem is, all of the moderators of the debate are Obama lovers. Even if Romney wins the debate the media will say that Obama won and the drones sitting at home who cannot think for themselves will say "I guess Obama did win that debate" so its stacked against Romney no matter what.
I do think these polls are BS, I had read last week Romney leading by 12 with Independent voters, up 10 with whites, and closing the game with women. Also saw polls which showed that the majority of Americans believe that we are NOT better off than we were 4 years ago but Im supposed to believe that somehow with ALL of that Obama is leading..NO WAY!! Either people are deliberately lying to these pollsters due to fear(Since these pollsters have their name and address) or something else is going on. How can someone say that the economy sucks, the job market sucks, we are worse off than 4 years ago but yeah "I'll still vote for Obama" there is NO WAY that is even possible
I disagree, it will be far worse for conservatism if Romney loses. If Romney loses I predict the GOP 2016 candidate will be to the left of Romney, even if it Palin. Why?
Obamacare will by solidified as part of the American fabric by 2016. In fact I fully expect the dem candidate in 2016 wil run on repealing and replacing obamacare.....with single payer
Amnesty will happen forcing the GOP to pander to 12 million Hispanic voters.
The SCOTUS will hand down a Roe type ruling on gay marriage. Gay marriage will have well over 50% support by 2016 if this happens. The GOP will remove language from their platform defining marriage as one man one woman.
If Obama wins its game over. The GOP, even if it's Palin, Walker or whomever will not only be left of Romney 2012, tthey'll be to the left of gore 2000.
Conservatives are deeply concerned and rightly so. The Dems got a 7-9 point swing from their convention despite the fact it was unabashed leftism on display. It's is very disheartening to think what that means about our fellow Americans. It means the majority of Americans want to throw away what has worked for the past 230 years and replace it with socialism and tyranny.
Maybe Romney bounces back. But this is in essence what the so called permanent democratic majority would look like. A party impervious to recessions or scandal. A party that is not rebuked for its blatant anti American Exceptionalism.
You are the one having the meltdown, not I.
When the numbers go back to where they were then you can go back to not falling to pieces.
Our "suggestions" never include free food/gas/rent/medical care, fluffy pink clouds, flying purple unicorns, sparkly rainbows or idiotic utopian fantasies.
Won't work.
Reality is anathema to them.
Hyperbole, and strawman arguments...say are you a liberal?
I'm thinking street signs, myself...LOL

Not shocking.
Simply by looking at these different rates of word usage, Schnoebelen and his colleagues, David Bamman of Carnegie Mellon University and Jacob Eisenstein of Georgia Tech, can predict the gender of an author on Twitter with 88 percent accuracy.
But Schnoebelen, Bamman, and Eisenstein didn't stop there, even if such a high level of accuracy in pinpointing gender would be good enough for, say, L'Oréal. They wanted to go beyond the standard binary stereotypes of "Men Are from Mars, Women are from Venus" to understand how "male" and "female" linguistic markers actually work in the world, at least online.
They found that even though you can categorize certain words as having a higher male or female probability, it's easy to find large swaths of Twitter users who go against these trends. By grouping people by their style of usage, they could find, for example, a cluster of authors that is 72 percent male but nonetheless favors the nonstandard spellings that are supposedly a hallmark of "female" language.
Digging deeper, the researchers looked at the social networks that people create on Twitter, making connections by "following" and replying to other users. When you take these networks into account, the gender picture gets even more complex. It turns out that the statistical outliers (men who use language that's associated with women, and vice versa) are more likely to have networks skewing to the other gender.

ROGERS, Ark. (AP) — A spokesman for U.S. Sen. John Boozman says the Arkansas lawmaker is eager to return to work following heart surgery, but that it may take several more weeks before he is fully recovered.
The 63-year-old Republican underwent emergency heart surgery April 22 after being rushed to the emergency room. He underwent surgery to repair a tear in his aorta after being diagnosed with an acute aortic dissection.
Boozman spokesman Patrick Creamer said Monday that the senator has been recuperating at home, and that it may be a few more weeks before he is finished with cardio-rehab and cleared by doctors.
Creamer said Boozman has been doing some work from home and wants to be fully cleared soon to return to his duties and be able to travel.

For the rest of the year, we're counting down our top ten favorite books of 2013, one a day, as voted on by the Darien librarians! Coming in at number 3: Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune by Bill Dedman and Paul Clark Newell, Jr. Janet was one of our first champions for this book, writing in You Are What You Read: "Empty Mansions is an exhaustively researched and fascinating portrait of copper heiress Huguette Clark, wealthy beyond measure yet a ghostly presence in her own life which I read on the plane coming home. The story would not be believable as fiction, but it all really happened. I would recommend it for book groups and must add that is does not disappoint."
Stephanie seconded the book group recommendation, saying: ""So far in my reading year, Empty Mansions wins the award for hardest to sum up neatly. What I expected was another breezy story about the crazy things rich people do with all their money. As I already knew Huguette's main obsession was dolls and dollhouses, how could I resist? What I got was a complex story about a complex woman whose wealth protected her from the real world for her entire 104-year life, both for better and for worse. And what's more, because she lived so long, the story of her life is both a fascinating slice of American history and an interesting commentary on modern America. There's a lot to unpack in this one. It'd be a fabulous book group pick."
