Cover for Biden's Gaffe: 'Not Terrible
CBS's Katie Couric and ABC's Dr. Tim Johnson tried to provide cover Thursday night for Vice President Biden's gaffe about the swine flu threat, which forced two cabinet secretaries and he White House spokesman to correct his advice to avoid planes and subways, as Couric asked an expert to confirm "that's not terrible advice in certain situations, is it?" and Johnson spun it into a positive, proposing: "In an ironic way, the reaction -- the information that has come out in reaction -- has been very informative."
Talking with Dr. Jennifer Ashton, Couric pointed out how "the Vice President created a bit of a brouhaha when he said he would tell his family to avoid confined public spaces, but that's not terrible advice in certain situations, is it?" Ashton supported Couric's premise, suggesting "common sense precautions apply here," so "people who have weakened immune systems, who have cancer, are HIV-positive," if they would avoid people "a week ago, they should do it today." But Biden was not warning just those with such vulnerabilities.
This wasn't the first time Couric helped Biden. Last year, when candidate Biden declared in a taped interview with Couric that "when the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on television," she ran the soundbite in which he had cited FDR to denounce Bush's handling of the economy, but failed to point out his historical error: FDR was not in office at the time of the 1929 crash and his "fireside chats" were on the radio. September 23 CyberAlert: www.mrc.org
She wasn't so forgiving with Biden's opponent, Sarah Palin, as recounted in the October 1 CyberAlert item, "Couric Patronizingly Challenges & Lectures Palin; Coddled Biden," at: www.mrc.org
On ABC on Thursday night, Gibson played a clip of Biden from Thursday morning's Today show on NBC, then asked Johnson: "Is he overreacting?" Johnson made clear Biden was off-base, but then pivoted to spin the gaffe into a positive: "Unfortunately, the Vice President sounded like he knew what he was talking about when he really didn't. But in an ironic way, the reaction -- the information that has come out in reaction -- has been very informative so I think it'll pass and we'll be all right."

# From the Thursday, April 30 CBS Evening News:
NANCY CORDES: But that's [wrong to think it's unsafe to travel] exactly what Vice President Biden seemed to suggest this morning when he implied that trains and planes should be avoided.
COURIC: Meanwhile, as we saw, the Vice President created a bit of a brouhaha when he said he would tell his family to avoid confined public spaces, but that's not terrible advice in certain situations, is it?
CHARLES GIBSON: I want to play some remarks that the Vice President, Vice President Biden, made this morning. He was asked whether he would, what he would tell a member of his family if that person was about to travel. Let's listen.
Joe Biden to ABC's Robin Roberts: I'm
In a serious tone, Biden responded: "Everywhere I go, crowds spontaneously assemble. They start to cheer, whether I go to a play on Broadway or I'm going home to Wilmington, Delaware. I walk on the train. People stand up and clap." Roberts didn't offer a follow-up, but she could have referenced a January 3 incident, when (then) Vice President-elect Biden went unnoticed while trying to see a movie in Delaware. According to a reprinted Delaware Online article, "Remarkably, none of the other moviegoers appeared to notice. Employees said nobody mobbed Biden or called his name or asked for an autograph." Movie theater employee Becky Gingrich explained, "It didn't seem many people recognized him." See: current.com
[This item, by the MRC's Scott Whitlock, was posted Thursday afternoon, with video, on the MRC's blog, NewsBusters.org: newsbusters.org ]
During the Roberts interview, Biden attempted to work the "humble" part of the question into his response. He elaborated: "It's not about me. It's about, I think, the hope and expectation they [Americans] have for our administration. But it's spontaneous everywhere I've gone around the country."
Setting up the question, Roberts replayed the original "enchanted" question from the news conference, directed to Barack Obama. She enthused, " So, what has surprised you in your first 100 days?" And then followed-up by cooing, "And enchanted you?...And humbled you?"
A transcript of the April 30 interview, which aired at 7:08am, follows:
ROBIN ROBERTS: Well, President Obama marked the 100th day of his office- in office with a prime-time news conference last night. The first issue he addressed, swine flu, and its impact on parents and children. We asked Vice President Joe Biden about that and other issues when he joined us just moments ago from his official residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington. Good to see you, Vice President Biden. Thank you very much for joining us this morning. The President talked about parents and businesses having a contingency plan in case more children need to stay home from school. Do you know exactly what he means by contingency plan?
ABC's Gibson Already Presumes There Will
Is World News anchor Charles Gibson already planning for Barack Obama's second term? The ABC journalist briefly wrapped up coverage from the President's prime-time press conference on Wednesday and signed off by asserting: "100 days in office. 1,362 days remaining in his first term." 1,362 days left in his first term?
Even Gibson, however, seemed to notice the incredible softball question from New Times reporter Jeff Zeleny about what had "enchanted" Obama the most during his first 100 days: "I suspect the question that will get the most attention, what has surprised you about being President, what troubled you, what enchanted you and what has humbled you now that you've been in the White House?"
[This item, by the MRC's Scott Whitlock, was posted Thursday morning on the MRC's blog, NewsBusters.org: newsbusters.org ]
A transcript of Gibson's close of the April 29 news conference follows: "The President concluding his third primetime news conference on 100 days in the White House. Starting with a statement of saying that he feels they've had a good start, pleased, not satisfied with the way things have gone. Thought they'd gotten off to a good start. But, as he said, it is just a start. And then he also talked about the flu outbreak that's occurred in this country and, interestingly, said that parents, perhaps, should be thinking about contingency plans if, indeed, the schools of their children have to close.
Washington Post's Tom Shales Calls Obama
Even though President Obama clearly stammered and struggled in some answers Wednesday night, especially the odd New York Times four-parter, Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales loved "Obama's Enchanting Quizfest" (as the headline announced), and stressed how much better he was than Bush: "Barack Obama is a truly flabbergasting President. And in a good way -- not the way some of his predecessors were. He's not flabberghastly....His verbiage is a melting pot that's always bubbling. A few times, he did stumble over words, and once or twice appeared semantically stranded, unable to find the precise language he wanted to use. But compare him with his predecessor and such moments seem trifling."
Shales contended in his April 30 "Style" section review that Obama was not only smarter than Bush, but obviously smarter than every reporter in the room: "When Obama answers a question, you don't slap your forehead and moan, 'Oh, brother!' He is, as guest expert David Gergen noted on CNN after the news conference, not only 'up to speed' on the pressing issues of our time but also articulate about addressing them in a friendly, accessible way. He's not the student who wears a button that says, 'Smartest kid in class,' but clearly he is, at least when surrounded by the White House press corps."
[This item, by the MRC's Tim Graham, was posted Thursday morning on the MRC's blog, NewsBusters.org: newsbusters.org ]
He loved Obama so much so he even accused the networks of trying to distract from his skills:
The TV networks always get a little jealous when a president, or any news figure, turns out to be a great communicator. They start looking for ways to distract viewers. During the early minutes of the news conference, ABC ran little poll questions and news squibs at the bottom of the screen. That was just video gingerbread, and wildly unnecessary at that.
Meanwhile, CNN, in what looked an awful lot like desperation, embedded the news conference in a day-long (or is it week-long) gimmicky "National Report Card" routine, as hired experts and members of Congress rated the president on this and that. Graphically speaking, it was a mess, and one sympathized with Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer and other CNN talents caught up in one of those Producers' Brainstorms that didn't work....
MSNBC showed its strengths -- at least two of them, anyway -- by going to ravaging Keith Olbermann and ravishing Rachel Maddow. Two smart people are a lot better than an arsenal of computerly contraptions.

NY Times Buries Their Own Jeff Zeleny's
At President Obama's 100-day press conference on Wednesday night, New York Times White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny became a mini-celebrity -- or a national laughingstock -- for asking President Obama how he was surprised/troubled/enchanted/humbled over the first 100 days. The Times itself seemed embarrassed by the question. The press conference was relegated to page A-19 in Thursday's paper, with the headline "Obama Voices Concern on Pakistan and Defends Interrogation Memo Release." Nine paragraphs in, Zeleny and Helene Cooper acknowledge the "light moments," but don't acknowledge they were a gift from Zeleny and the Times: "There were a few light moments, particularly when Mr. Obama was asked what has surprised, troubled, enchanted and humbled him in the past 100 days. 'Wait, let me get this all down,' he said, taking out a pen."
Why the passive "mistakes were made" phrasing? Then Zeleny and Cooper provided all the President's answers to the multi-part softball, including: "He called himself enchanted by American servicemen and women, and their sacrifices they make, although he allowed that 'enchanted' might not be the exact characterization."
The story briefly mentioned Obama's town hall meeting in Missouri, but ignored his mockery of the protesters with the tea bags and the networks that don't like him very much. See: www.nytimes.com
[This item, by Tim Graham, was posted Thursday on the MRC's TimesWatch site: www.timeswatch.org ]
This was Zeleny's question: "During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office, enchanted you the most about serving in this office, humbled you the most and troubled you the most?" This is not a question one would associate with a Gray Lady, a prestigious daily. It sounds more like an question from Access Hollywood.
On The Caucus blog, political reporter Adam Nagourney collegially declared Zeleny's puffball his favorite question of the night when the press conference was over: "Besides my favorite question -- yes, the enchanting one from Jeff -- the President was discursive on torture, offered his medical counsel to a country worried about the flu, was reflective about the political meaning of Senator Specter's defection, and lent his view of the dramatic expansion of government on his watch. That said, he did not make any jaw-dropping news, which was probably his intention. He also didn't make any obvious mistakes, and for this president, no surprise there. He was also more lively and engaging than he was at the previous news conference."

CBS's Smith to RNC Chair Steele: 'Room
On Thursday's CBS Early Show, co-host Harry Smith talked to Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele about Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter switching to the Democratic Party: "Alright, so you see red states going to blue, though, in this last presidential election...You look at percentage-wise, lower numbers of people who declare themselves to be actual Republicans...Where does the future of your party lie?...Is there room for moderates?" Smith began the interview by asking Steele: "Olympia Snowe mourned his [Specter's] loss earlier this week. Rush Limbaugh said he was dead weight, good riddance. Who's right?"
Steele was unequivocal: "Rush. I'm sorry, I'm not weeping here. I'm sorry. You know, look, Harry, in 2004, when Senator Specter ran for re-election...he whined and moaned and groaned and convinced the White House, and Senator Rick Santorum, and the Republican leadership at that time, to save his seat, to help him get re-elected. So all this, you know, rank-and-file crazy noise about conservatism, he didn't mind it in 2004 when his seat was on the line."
[This item, by the MRC's Kyle Drennen, was posted Thursday afternoon on the MRC's blog, NewsBusters.org: newsbusters.org ]
Smith followed up: "So this -- this choice...from your view is a middle of -- about political expedience, and not about-" Steele interjected: "Oh, my goodness, yes...Oh, this has nothing to do with philosophy and principle and all those wonderful-sounding words. It has -- is cold, crass, political calculation by a Senator who could not get re-elected through a nominating process in the Republican Party."
In response to Smith's question about there being "room for moderates" in the Republican Party, Steele explained: "Absolutely. There's room for everybody who wants to be a part of a party that believes first and foremost in the value of the individual to make decisions that empower him or herself to run their businesses, raise their kids, go to the schools of their choice, and then basically work their way towards the American dream...this notion that somehow, you know, because we're conservatives our doors are closed and we only take certain types of people is just crazy. This has not -- never been the nature of this party."
Here is the full transcript of the April 30 segment:
HARRY SMITH: We want to talk with Republican National Chairman Michael Steele right now this morning. Good morning, sir.

In the first election that so-called "super PACs" can collect unlimited money for presidential races, some big spenders from the Northwest are getting in on the action.
New filings show there are a few large contributions, but also smaller amounts -- and you might be surprised where those dollars went.
The Super PACs reported who gave them $200 or more in filings with the Federal Election Commission. Those reports show the super PACs with some of the most contributors from Washington, Oregon and Idaho support candidates that aren't even running anymore.
About a dozen gave to the pro-Herman Cain '9-9-9 Fund' and some more gave to comedian Stephen Colbert's 'Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow' super PAC.
Now, keep in mind, that's looking at the number of individuals. Most of the their contributions were less than $500.
If we're talking cash, the pro-Mitt Romney 'Restore Our Future' super PAC won out. It collected $1 million from the Idaho Falls-based household and skin care products maker Melaleuca. The company's CEO is a fellow Brigham Young University grad and a financial chairman in the Romney campaign.
Of course, Northwest residents also contributed directly to the presidential contenders, where the limit is $2,500. Of all the candidates, President Obama drew the most money from the region.

Can't even be spoilers in the Battle of Alberta.
Welcome to the long march to the finish line for the Calgary Flames.
Now that the trade deadline has come and gone -- with Blake Comeau joining Jarome Iginla and Jay Bouwmeester in being dealt away in the first step of a rebuild -- the Flames began their second stage with Wednesday's 8-2 whipping at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers.
"That was embarrassing for us as players," Flames defenceman Mark Giordano said. "For us guys who've been around here and want to call ourselves veteran guys, that's disappointing. Myself, I feel embarrassed of my own play and that loss."
The coming phase is the continued plummet as far down the standings as possible to garner what should end up the highest draft the Flames franchise has received since moving to the Stampede City.
That would be the Death for Seth, Not Winnin' for MacKinnon, Losin' for Drouin or whatever you call the quest to grab a potential young star to be a big piece to start re-igniting the floundering franchise that's currently 28th overall in the league.
Thirteen more performances like that, and the Flames will be at the bottom. The only reason they weren't booed off the ice was the fact it wouldn't have been heard over the celebrating Oilers fans who filled the Saddledome and its announced crowd of 19,289.
That, and the fact any supporters were long gone.
"It definitely doesn't get any lower than that. It's embarrassing," said forward Curtis Glencross. "It's all about compete-level and wanting it ... and it starts right from myself. We've gotta find a way from inside this room."
The only route this team appears headed is not only a fourth consecutive season without playoffs but the worst finish in the final standings in franchise history.
"That's our effort. That's what we deserved," said Matt Stajan, who scored twice on his team's first two shots to spot the hosts a 2-0 lead. "We didn't deserve anything better than that."
Trade deadline on Wednesday came and went with only one last move by the Flames, sending Comeau to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a fifth-round draft choice.
The potential deal which would have seen long-time standout goalie Miikka Kiprusoff to the Toronto Maple Leafs didn't materialize. The club honoured his wish to not be traded, even though Kiprusoff no longer has a no-trade clause and has one more season on his deal following this disappointing campaign.
Kiprusoff may return next season, although it's a strong possibility the 36-year-old netminder will retire.
All the trade deadline action made the latest instalment in the Alberta rivalry a secondary story in Calgary -- and seemingly among the Flames -- who are doing little to fight to the finish.
Sam Gagner and Ryan Whitney erased Calgary's lead by the end of the opening period, and the momentum carried from that point.
Jordan Eberle and Nail Yakupov each scored twice, while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Hall added singles for the Oilers (16-13-7). Hall finished with five points for the team on the upswing of its own rebuild after finishing 30th, 30th, 29th in the last three seasons but now is in sole possession of eighth spot in the Western Conference and riding a five-game winning streak.
You can't help but think beating the Flames that bad wasn't a good feeling for the young Oilers. The result stung the hosts.
"There's always a little added juice to these games, with a rivalry game, and it definitely adds to the bad and adds to the good," Flames forward Mike Cammalleri said. "When it's bad, it makes it worse. When it's good, it makes it better. We were on the bad-makes-it-worse end of that, tonight."
Added head coach Bob Hartley: "They gave us a hockey lesson, plain and simple."
The Flames (13-18-4) have dropped three straight and seven of nine outings, and now embark on a three-game road trip which begins Friday in San Jose.
They'll look to snap an 11-game road losing skid, in which only one defeat didn't come in regulation.

Oh, it's Three Lock Box ... Always thought Sammy Hagar was singing 'Free Lunch Box'
"Suckers walk. Money talks, but it can't touch my Three Lock Box." Ah, the cryptic lyrics of Sammy Hagar's title track off his Three Lock Box album that leads into the signature guitar riffs of The Red Rocker.
Whether it's spiritual, mystical or just a good Sesame Street lesson, Three Lock Box is one of the few videos that Hagar filmed during his '80s solo career. Three Lock Box wasn't even a single as Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy was the only cut to hit the singles chart off the 1982 album.
After a string of three knockout solo albums in the '80s with Standing Hampton, Three Lock Box and VOA, Hagar put it all to the side in 1986 to join Van Halen. Hagar has been just as successful in his business ventures ranging from tequila, restaurants, clothing, etc. but still keeps busy with music.
In 1984, Hagar formed the supergroup HSAS with Neal Schon, Kenny Aaronsen and Michael Shrieve to record an album that didn't exactly set the world on fire. This year HSAS is reformed but Aaronsen and Shrieve have been replaced by comrades Micheal Anthony (also of Van Halen) and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and other guests. Sammy should really call the album the new HSAS record since the acronyms fit perfect, however, Sammy is "Chickenfooting" out by calling it Sammy Hagar and Friends. The album is slated to be released today and the first video has already been released for "Knockdown Dragout" that features Kid Rock and Joe Satriani.

The Termal Furdo Zalaegerszeg is one of Hungary's newest thermal baths, built in 2007 adjacent to the Aquacity waterpark. An all day ticket cost around 2000ft and means that he would not have to worry about time.
The complex has a very simple layout and is immaculately presented throughout.
The main indoor baths and are housed in a circular building with a series of different poo and will ls at slightly different levels, and large skylights carefully positioned to allow you to lie back and look at the sky, but also find some shade if you need is to cool down.
None of the pools are particularly large, but there is good variety. The three main pools are around 34°C and have excellent range of bubble and massage jets, as well as a mushroom fountain and a decent lazy river in the top pool .
The two hot pools are around 37°C and as with all the indoor pool to the water is crystal clear. If that had not got enough that there for a couple of small saunas, just watch out for the cold showers next to the saunas if you're not prepared for it. All other showers are nice and warm.
In the centre is a dedicated children's and baby pool as well as a smaller waterslide that runs were from the floor of above, where you will find a bar selling drinks and sweets, though it is not always open and there is no restaurant in the complex, so your best bet is to eat dinner in the town of a few miles away.
There are also a couple of outdoor pools which are well designed and filled with clean thermal water, which is very enjoyable when the weather is good. However, the outdoor pool predates the main indoor complex and is in dire need of maintenance. Actually, the only thing that really let Thermal Furdo down is the fact that it's not completed. The main indoor baths and changing facilities are excellent, but work has not begun on the adjoining Hotel, thermal village and updates to the outdoor pool's, and we get the impression that it might just never happen, and so leaves what is one of the Hungary's best indoor bath slightly stranded in the middle of nowhere.
That said, the surrounding countryside is extremely attractive and the rural location gives the baths tranquillity that you don't find in more urban settings. It's just a shame that as the complex hasn't been completed and is not properly landscaped, the fences in places spoiling views of the surrounding fields and woods.
The baths are open late every night and as the sun goes down the indoor pools are transformed with an array of coloured lights, which mean that the baths can be enjoyed at any time of the day.
Best Thing
Indoor pools are so bubbly designed with a layout that flows naturally from one area to the next and a beautifully calming interior design.
Worst Thing
The complex isn't finished, leaving his fantastic indoor thermal bath a little on its own.
Top Tip
Plan your meals around your trip as there is no restaurant at the thermal baths and you will probably need to eat in Zalaegerszeg itself.
Termal Furdo, Zalaegerszeg is without doubt one of the most stylish and maintained indoor thermal baths in Hungary on and caters particularly well for families, especially in summer when the Aquacity waterpark next door is open. It's just a shame that the complex hasn't been finished as it's let down by the poorly maintained outdoor pool, basic landscaping and lack of proper restaurant.

Mad Dogs and Englishmen has a sense of humor. Perhaps that explains its longevity. Celebrating its 20th year, its new menu sports the old joke: "Two cannibals eating a clown. One says to the other, 'Does this taste funny to you?' " Talking about things tasting funny on a menu? Is this a good idea? Co-owner Wilton Morley seems to do things his own way, and that has worked out just fine.
A neighborhood go-to place for South Tampa, it has a loyal following. Loyalty — something Morley thinks Tampa has in spades.
"People are very loyal here. That's what the restaurant has in common with an English pub, which is something you're loyal to your whole life. But with a restaurant, you actually have to get the food right."
That's where Tavis Schafer comes in. A graduate of Johnson and Wales' culinary program, he's been in the kitchen for six years, the last two as executive chef. Cooking stints in Wales, Bangkok and Singapore have loaded Schafer's tool box with some extra goodies, which means Mad Dogs' English staples are supplemented with dishes like Asian dumplings and red Thai shrimp curry.
Schafer's aesthetic is best exhibited by the house chicken curry ($16). A staple of casual English restaurants that's usually solid and rib-sticking, it most often has a one-note curry-powder wallop to the sauce that is best soaked up with fries. Mad Dogs' version is more delicate, with spinach, carrot and cilantro lightening it up, a lovely almond-raisin basmati providing the foundation. Its provenance is somewhere between Thailand and India, far from London pub grub.
Still, this is a family place, a casual indoor-outdoor spot to meet for a pint and a nibble on the odd Tuesday night. The beer list favors Britain, the wine list is more global (prices very reasonable, by-the-glass pours very generous) and the servers and bartenders seem to be from all over the place. They are friendly and solicitous, as comfortable with little kids as they are with grown-ups out for a rowdy night.
Some things remain constant at Mad Dogs: crisp, greaseless fish and chips ($12) that need nothing more than a spritz of malt vinegar to be irresistible; the Mad Dog mixed green salad topped with Stilton and candied pecans ($6; Morley's fave); a handful of grilled-then-baked individual pizzas ($8-$13) topped with fancy stuff like goat cheese and figs or arugula, spinach and olives. Then Schafer gets to stretch his legs a bit with pan-seared diver scallops served with baby arugula and mashed potatoes with a hint of citrus oil and a lush puddle of caper brown butter sauce ($20), or a new vegetarian whole wheat (or gluten-free) penne dish with whatever seasonal vegetables strike his fancy ($14). And for dessert the chef clearly enjoys the mad science of making his own ice creams (oatmeal cream pie to peanut butter bacon chocolate chip), but keeps the fried brownie on the menu for regulars.
It's eclectic, but hangs together in much the way Moon Under Water does, St. Petersburg's own Great-Britain-meets-Florida pub. It's the mark of a restaurant that has found its groove when hummus with toasted naan ($9) or tuna tartare with black sticky rice ($9) don't feel the least bit incongruous alongside English pub dishes. It may be a little mad if you think about it, but in my experience there aren't any dogs among them.

A number of studies have found heart protection from moderate intake of alcohol (one or two glasses a day). Moderate amounts of alcohol help raise HDL levels. Although red wine is most often cited for healthful properties, any type of alcoholic beverage appears to have similar benefit. Pregnant women, anyone who cannot drink moderately, and people with liver disease should not drink at all.
Herbs and Supplements
Manufacturers of herbal remedies and dietary supplements do not need FDA approval to sell their products. Just like a drug, herbs and supplements can affect the body's chemistry, and therefore have the potential to produce side effects that may be harmful. There have been a number of reported cases of serious and even lethal side effects from herbal products. Always check with your doctor before using any herbal remedies or dietary supplements.
The following natural remedies are of interest for cholesterol control:
- Garlic. Contrary to popular belief, neither raw garlic nor garlic supplements significantly reduce LDL cholesterol levels.
- Policosonol. Policosanol is a nutritional supplement derived from sugar cane that has been promoted as having lipid-lowering benefits. However, rigorous research has not shown that policosanol has any effect on reducing LDL levels.
- Red Yeast Rice. Red yeast rice is used in traditional Chinese medicine. The FDA warns that red yeast rice dietary supplement products sold as treatments for high cholesterol contain statin drugs, but these products are not standardized for purity, safety, and effectiveness.

THE 1992 CAMPAIGN: Personal Finances; Clintons Joined S.& L. Operator In an Ozark Real-Estate Venture
By JEFF GERTH,
Published: March 8, 1992
WASHINGTON, March 7— Bill Clinton and his wife were business partners with the owner of a failing savings and loan association that was subject to state regulation early in his tenure as Governor of Arkansas, records show.
The partnership, a real estate joint venture that was developing land in the Ozarks, involved the Clintons and James B. McDougal, a former Clinton aide turned developer. It started in 1978, and at times money from Mr. McDougal's savings and loan was used to subsidize it. The corporation continues to this day, but does not appear to be active.
Mr. McDougal gave a detailed account of his relationship in several interviews in the last two weeks. This account, along with an examination of related local, state and Federal records and interviews with dozens of others in Arkansas, found the following:
*Available records covering the most active period of the real estate corporation, called Whitewater Development, appear to show that Mr. McDougal heavily subsidized it, insuring that the Clintons were under little financial risk in what turned out to be an unsuccessful enterprise. The corporation bought 200 acres of Ozark Mountain vacation property and planned to sell it in lots. During this period, the Clintons appear to have invested little money, so stood to lose little if the venture failed, but might have cashed in on their 50 percent interest if it had done well.
*The Clintons and Mr. McDougal disagree about what happened to Whitewater's records. Mr. McDougal says that at Mr. Clinton's request they were delivered to the Governor's mansion. The Clintons say many of them have disappeared. Many questions about the enterprise cannot be fully answered without the records.
*After Federal regulators found that Mr. McDougal's savings institution, Madison Guaranty, was insolvent, meaning it faced possible closure by the state, Mr. Clinton appointed a new state securities commissioner, who had been a lawyer in a firm that represented the savings and loan. Mr. Clinton and the commissioner deny giving any preferential treatment. The new commissioner approved two novel proposals to help the savings and loan that were offered by Hillary Clinton, Governor Clinton's wife and a lawyer. She and her firm had been retained to represent the association.
*The Clintons improperly deducted at least $5,000 on their personal tax returns in 1984 and 1985 for interest paid on a portion of at least $30,000 in bank loan payments that Whitewater made for them. The deductions saved them about $1,000 in taxes, but since the error was more than three years ago, Internal Revenue Service regulations do not require the Clintons to pay.
The complicated relationship between Mr. McDougal and the Clintons came to light in an investigation by The New York Times of the Clintons' tax records and business relationships. It raises questions of whether a governor should be involved in a business deal with the owner of a business regulated by the state and whether, having done so, the governor's wife through her law firm should be receiving legal fees for work done for the business. Confusion Is Cited
Asked about these matters, the Clintons retained two lawyers to answer questions. The lawyers said the improper tax deductions were honest errors, made because there was confusion over who really owned a certain piece of Whitewater property and who was responsible for the loan taken out to buy it, Whitewater or the Clintons.
The deed for the land and the loan papers are all in the Clintons' names.
The lawyers said they were not in a position to answer questions about where the money that went into Whitewater came from. But generally, they said they thought neither the Clintons nor Mr. McDougal had profited from the venture. They also said the Clintons were once liable for about $100,000 in bank loans that financed Whitewater's original purchase of land. But the lawyers have only been able to find original documents showing $5,000 that the Clintons paid.
Some questions about the relationship and the Clintons' role in it may be difficult to resolve because of differing accounts and the missing records.
The two lawyers representing the Clintons are Susan P. Thomases, a longtime friend, and Loretta Lynch, a campaign aide, who participated in several hours of interviews at Ms. Thomases' Manhattan offices Thursday and Friday. Payments on Debt
The records that are available, and Mrs. Thomases' account, show that Whitewater made payments between 1982 and 1985 on Mrs. Clinton's $30,000 real estate debt, reducing the debt by about $16,000 while also paying at least $14,000 in interest. At least one of those checks was signed by Mr. McDougal.
Mrs. Clinton originally borrowed the $30,000 from a bank also controlled by Mr. McDougal, Bank of Kingston, but "Hillary took the loan on behalf of the corporation," Ms. Thomases said. That, she explained, is why Whitewater made the payments.
The Clintons' 1984 and 1985 tax returns show that they took deductions for interest payments of $2,811 and $2,322 that Whitewater had made.
"It clearly is an error," Ms. Thomases said. She noted that the tax returns for those years were prepared by accountants in Arkansas.

The $2,000 tax credit limit for residential solar systems has been lifted, meaning that homeowners can get a 30% tax credit on the solar panels they install after Dec. 31, 2008. That will save folks who want to install a system serious money — especially for those who live in states with generous state rebates. (If you buy a $24,000 3-kilowatt solar array in California — big enough to power the average home - you can claim a $7,200 federal tax credit. Add in the state solar rebate and the cost of the system is cut in half.)
The bill also includes tax credits of $3,000 or more toward the purchase of fuel-efficient, plug-in hybrid vehicles. To learn more about plug-in hybrids, click here.
There are also incentives for the production of homegrown renewable fuels, such as biodiesel and renewable diesel, and for the installation of E-85 pumps for consumers to fill up flex-fuel vehicles.

San Diego's city council voted unanimously to extend the lease on its fire helicopter for six months. The Bell 212HP is operated by the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, but paid for by the county.
The lease of the aircraft, through Boise, Idaho-based Kachina-Helijet Aviation, was due to expire at Christmas. The County Board of Supervisors agreed to set aside $1.6 million to extend the lease on the aircraft on a month-to-month basis from January through June. The helicopter costs about $255,900 per month to operate, according to a city manager's report.

BBC Review
Erstwhile Supergrass frontman returns with beguiling and widespread solo album.
Ian Winwood 2012
It is a depressing prospect, but in just a few years it will be time to begin celebrating – definition: getting misty eyed over a dog-eared copy of Definitely Maybe and wondering why a Ben Sherman shirt purchased in 1994 no longer fits – that most exhilirating periods of British popular music, The Britpop Years.
Due reverence will be given to Noel, to Damon, to Jarvis and to Thom, as a whole host of critics and other 'industry experts' recall battles to get to number one, cocaine-fuelled fall-outs and a night at the BRITS when Mr Cocker invaded a stage belonging to Michael Jackson.
It's a fair bet, though, that very little airtime will be dedicated to Supergrass, a Britpop group who take gold medal in the "Most Overlooked British Group of the 1990s" category. The Oxford trio may have sold records and concert tickets, but when it came to the attentions of the music press more column inches (and, amazingly, credit) seemed to be devoted to no-hopers such as Menswear and Northern Uproar.
A generation on and former Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes finds himself flying under his own wing. Devoid of the collective responsibility that goes with being part of a band, the fabulously (if not quite appropriately) titled Here Come the Bombs is an ultimately welcoming but at first distant, even obscure, body of music.
It is the work of a man capable of writing pop songs while in a coma, but who now finds himself at a time in his life where such pursuits are not quite enough. Coombes has not lost his ear for a knockout melody – in this sense, his teeth are still "nice and clean" – but has developed an appetite for obscuring his choruses in swathes of music that, to the casual ear, keeps them just out of reach.
Because of this, Here Come the Bombs is an album that expects your attention. Songs such as the quietly soaring Sub Divider, the melodious White Noise, or the sparse and haunting Simulator, are not quick to reveal their full, glorious colours; for several listens they merely hint at the promise behind their facades.
But this is an album that contains a nagging quality which draws the listener back for repeated visits, and at some point the songs contained within traverse the distance between acquaintance and friendship. As such, Here Come the Bombs is a rewarding and substantial offering.

SMU Hands Marshall 2-1 Loss
Oct. 14, 2011
DALLAS, Texas – Marshall University's women's soccer team lost a 2-1 heartbreaker Friday night against the SMU Mustangs in Dallas, Texas at Westcott Field. The Herd got down early, but posted the game-tying goal a minute into the second period. Yet it wasn't enough as the Mustangs delivered the game-winning goal with under ten minutes to play in regulation. With the loss Marshall falls to 3-9-3 (1-4-2 C-USA), while SMU improves to 9-5-1 (5-1-1 C-USA).

People often mistakenly derive extraneous meaning out of the fact that two things are merely correlated. They will say, "A increases as B increases; if we change A, then that will affect B."
It's actually more than a pet peeve, a minor irritation. It's really flawed logic.
Correlation simply doesn't imply causation.
Just because two trends are correlated doesn't mean one causes the other. Often, a third related factor causes both originally identified trends.
For example, just because in the past few years we've seen an increase in both search engine spending and the number of SEO/SEM firms, it doesn't mean that one of these caused the other. Will increasing search engine spending directly increase the number of SEO/SEM firms, or vis-versa? Perhaps the real driver is the number of advertisers who have experimented and enjoyed successful results from these marketing efforts. Or maybe it's a virtuous cycle in which it's difficult to truly unmask the true cause.
Along those lines, we often see business plans here at Masthead that claim "because Factor X increases as the customer's revenue-per-user increases, our product which affects Factor X will increase revenue even more." Really? Maybe, but often there is a Factor Y which is the real cause of both Factor X and revenue. A company's product offering should really get to the heart of the issue and the real driver of value.
When people present correlation graphs, I stop paying attention when they don't know the difference between the two ideas of correlation and causation. This mistake is very dangerous, as it often leads people to chase the wrong goals.

Deutsche Telekom is reaching out to organizations nervous about cloud adoption by partnering with startup CipherCloud, the companies announced Wednesday. CipherCloud encrypts data before transferring it to a cloud server, providing data security both in transmission and storage.
The venture capital arm of Deutsche Telekom is an investor in CipherCloud and is funding the project, which will kick off with a demonstration of Salesforce data at CeBIT 2014 between March 10th and 14th.
Deutsche Telekom's T-Systems will offer servers running CipherCloud to corporate customers, which the companies' claim will help not only with security and data privacy, but also with compliance in cases where high standards of data protection must be met, as in Germany.
"The acceleration of cloud consumption by enterprises has created a unique role for trust. Without it, adoption would stall," CipherCoud chief trust officer Bob West said. "I look forward to helping our customers and partners remove the privacy, regulatory, and residency barriers to transforming their business in the cloud."
CipherCloud claims over 2.5 million customers to date, and says that data structure and operations are unaffected by their encryption technology, which functions equally in private, public, and hybrid clouds.
In January, CipherCloud acquired SaaS security provider CloudUpNetworks.
Data security has become a national political issue in Germany, where local storage is a hot enough concept to draw significant investment and a "secure email" offering from companies including Deutsche Telekom provoked controversy in the summer of 2013.
Concerns over data security persist as one of the main barriers to cloud adoption, according to an Internap study released in January.

Why Doesn't In-n-Out Have Any Locations Inside Airports?
At Dulles International Airport, just before the deluge...
Just came back from the East Coast, just before Hurricane Irene shut down airports across the East Coast. I ended up getting stranded at Dulles International Airport in Washington D.C., long enough so that the massive bistec empanizado and maduros I ate at a Cuban deli in Chelsea no longer had me bloated, which meant...Five Guys Burgers!
It was a good burger, as Five Guys does make a good burger (though not as good as In-n-Out, and In-n-Out doesn't match up to TK Burger, but I digress). But as I was munching at Dulles, noticing how other refugees also flocked to the location and left the rest of the restaurants empty, I wondered: why doesn't In-n-Out have a airport location?
Let's face it, folks: the In-n-Out of our teenage years, the chain that opened locations slowly and carefully, are gone. Earlier this year, of course, the Irvine-based company did the unthinkable and went into Texas, opening a distribution plant with the intent of dominating the lower Midwest. They now want a national profile, instead of cult regionalism--and having a location at an airport would bring them even more customers.
I know they're not going into John Wayne Airport, and probably never into the byzantine politics of LAX...but maybe Ontario? Burbank? San Diego? For sure Long Beach? There's a market for you, In-n-Out--but not like you have to pay attention to me to sell steamed hams...

Motorcyclist hit in front of Gresham police station off-duty Troutdale officer
GRESHAM, Ore. - A motorcyclist was hit at the intersection of Northeast 181st Avenue and Glisan Thursday evening.
The crash happened in front of a Gresham police station at about 5:30 p.m.
Police confirmed that the man hit was an off-duty Troutdale police officer. His name has not been released.
The motorcyclist suffered serious injuries police said.
Witnesses described a horrific crash.
"He flew 50 feet - helmet in three pieces," one witness told KATU. "I ran up to help. He told me he was a police officer. ... Said he couldn't feel his legs."
The motorcycle appeared to be his personal one.
According to police, a SUV was traveling southbound on 181st and began to make a left-hand turn into a parking lot and hit the motorcyclist who was going north bound from Glisan.
Police said the driver is being cooperative, and they don't believe alcohol or speed was a factor in crash.
The motorcyclist was taken to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center.

This web page starts a new section of the course: infinite series. An infinite series is an expression such as and we are going to learn how to understand and work with such series rigorously.
This page starts with the definition of convergence for infinite series and three basic but very important results about them. Examples of convergent series will appear in a later page.
An infinite series is an expression of the form
, where
is a sequence. We shall say this series converges to
if the sequence formed from
partial sums,
converges to , i.e., as . The term is called the th partial sum of . We say the series converges if it converges to some .
The series converges to . To see this, write and observe that . Thus as by the continuity of and the standard null sequence .
The series does not converge. To see this, write and note that is if is odd and if is even. The sequence does not converge so neither does the series .
We shall prove three very important but straightfoward results about
series to get our theory off the ground. The first of these states that,
as with sequences, the convergence of
only depends
on the behaviour of as
goes to infinity, and
not on the first few terms—where
few means any finite number
of terms, such as 1000000000. In other words, to show that
converges we can ignore
any finite number of terms
and just need to prove converges.
Proposition on eventual convergence, or ignoring finitely many terms.
Suppose and the series converges. Then the series also converges.
Let , and let . Then for , where is the partial sum . But converges, so for some . So by the convergence of the constant sequence and the continuity of , and hence converges.
This result is similar to the very easy one for sequences that says: if the subsequence consisting of all terms in after the th converges then the whole sequence converges. The proposition on eventual convergence is rather useful, however, as it shows that when investigating the convergence of a series, we can always ignore the (perhaps erratic) behaviour of finitely many terms at the beginning.
The next result is commonly used in its contrapositive form to show that a series does not converge. It cannot be used to show that a series does converge.
Null sequence test.
Suppose the series converges. Then as .
Let be the th partial sum, and suppose as . Then as , by continuity. Therefore is a null sequence and hence so is .
The series does not converge.
The sequence does not converge, by a previous result in the course, so in particular does not converge to . Hence by the null sequence test does not converge.
Our final result here is an application of the monotone convergence theorem to series, and will be used implicitly or explicitly a huge amount in the section on series.
Monotonicity Theorem.
Suppose the series consists of nonnegative terms only. Then the sequence of partial sums, , is monotonic nondecreasing and hence the series converges if and only if the sequence of partial sums is bounded.
There's almost nothing to say, as the argument is presented in the statement of the theorem, except that the final conclusion rests on the monotone convergence theorem for one direction and on the theorem on boundedness for the other direction.
By the proposition on eventual convergence, the monotonicity theorem also applies to any series with only finitely many negative terms: such a series is convergent if and only if the sequence of partial sums is bounded.

Sometimes a picture says a million words
That is so so sad. The words ....the signs they are holding....just so awful. So unfair and so cruel. Can you imagine...one girl's sign said her father tried to "beat it out of her". And another "My grandma sends me hate mail". It just makes me sick that there are people out there who are that cruel .It breaks my heart.
That's sad.
Everyone has a voice, and the more that use it, the better.
One of my saddest days as a mother was listening to my daughter describe a date she was on with her then girlfriend - the waitress noticed they were holding hands on occasion, and then ignored them and was very rude when they finally tried to get her attention. Oh, then there's the time one of her supervisors called her a "dyke".
There's nothing that tears at a mother's heart like that.

Asia is an Asian pornstar who was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania under the zodiac sign of Aries. Her ethnic makeup is part Thai, Cambodian, Laotian and American. She has black hair and pretty brown eyes and stands at 5 feet tall. She weighs only 103 pounds and has measurements of 36B-25-32 and is all natural. Several tattoos on her body include the name "Asia" on the front of her right thigh, a tigers head on her lower back, a figure near her left elbow, some initials on her right wrist and three stars at the base of her right thumb. She has her tongue and her clit hood pierced as well. Her alias names are Ms. Asia and Asia Rain. Her beginnings in the adult industry happened in the year 2004 when she was in her late teens. One of her very first porn films was "Interracial Addiction 4" from NJ Films which was directed by Dick. Her scene is the fifth one on the DVD and her partner is Julian St. Jox. The scene begins with her posing and teasing the camera while she strips nude. She gives him a blowjob and really works his balls with her tongue and her mouth too. With him lying on his back she straddles him and fucks him from on top. They screw in a bunch of different positions and finally he strokes out a big cumshot that lands in her mouth and on her face.
Another one of Asia's early film performances was in the movie "Tight and Asian 6" from Devils Films, directed by Mike Metropolis. It's a threesome scene with Brian Surewood and Buster Good and is the second scene in the movie. She's wearing a sexy pink outfit and fingering her pussy while sitting on the couch. The two men walk in and find her and she's happy to suck on one of their dicks while the other is busy licking her pussy. While she rides on top of one guy she is sucking the other one off and then they swap positions. After several more positions she is on her hands and knees getting fucked from behind when both guys are ready to cover her face with cum and they do. Asia sucks their cocks clean of cum before it's over.
Asia is one of those pornstars who has done some pretty advanced porn scenes even since her debut year. For example in the film "Incumming 3" from Diabolic Video, she does double vaginal penetration with scene partners Brian Surewood and Scott Nails. The scene ends with internal cumshots too for those who love a creampie ending scene. She performs in the sequel too with a similar repeat performance in the following year. Asia is also no stranger to anal sex and performs it often even from her debut filming season. The 2004 movie called "Kum Pao" from Colossal Entertainment is one example of her anal prowess. Taking on Benjamin Brat and his dick in her scene, she not only takes it in the ass but then in her mouth and for a finish accepts his cum on her face. Her fans love her willingness to perform in just about any kind of scene that she's asked to and she keeps coming back for more too.
The 2007 film "Asian Fever Happy Endings" from Hustler Video and directed by Rick Davis also features a performance by Asia. This time she is sporting some blonde hair that changes her look pretty dramatically. She appears in the fifth scene along with Cheyne Collins who fucks her nicely trimmed pussy while holding her legs spread wide. Sucking on his cock to make him hard first, she's really into the action and he's loving the attention that he is getting from her. Her nipples are rock hard as usual as he pounds her pink hole and when he pauses to lick her, she's moaning loudly. When the timing is right, he strokes his hard cock and ejaculates onto her face. The DVD contains a bonus section with a brief interview and some sexy posing from Asia too.
For many pornstars it's not an easy task to jump into hardcore scenes at a running pace and keep up that pace for a number of years. However in the case of Asia, that's exactly what she has done. Not content to sit on her laurels and take it easy, she is constantly pushing herself to perform each and every year. Often coming back to perform in more than one episode of a series, Asia has done a few for the "Asian Cheerleader Cavity Search" series from Woodburn. "Luv Dat Asian Azz" is another series in which she's come back for three episodes, performing anal sex in each one. "Real Sex with Real Passion" saw her appear in five of it's episodes. Her fans know her as a solid performer and she proves them right with each and every appearance that she makes.
Asia began doing some lesbian films also a few years into her career. "Girls Behind Bars" from K-Beech Video is one example from 2007. She's actually in an all girl threesome in the movie with Alexis Amore and Sophia Lynn. She has a part also in the movie "Black Girlfriends 2" from New Breed where she pairs up with Mone Divine. "Strap-on Valley Bitch" from X-Traordinary Pictures is another all girl movie where Asia pairs up with Mercedes Ashley and they use sex toys on themselves and each other. Mercedes wears a hard strap-on dildo at the end and fucks Asia after licking her pussy and her ass.
Asia is still active in the adult film industry and her most recent release was in 2012. Her performances have been a part of more than 175 films to date. Several of the DVD box covers bear her image as well. With her strong performances, her fans will most often not need to see her picture on the cover to know that it's going to be hot and everyone hopes to collect many more scenes of Asia before she retires.
For starters, the PORN.com exclusive Asia porn tube collection already includes more than sixty of her finest films, full length and free in HD for you to Enjoy!

Here we will help you with some great camping food ideas. As often when camping we tend to eat a lot of meat and salad, sausages in bread, hamburgers in rolls etc.
But as most of us are aware, when our kids aren't offered foods with a variety of nutritional content they become tired, upset or even aggravated, due to no fault of their own.
All of this can be avoided if you plan right.
In the days leading up to your camping trip prepare meals that can be heated in a camp fire or BBQ.
There are many simple camping food ideas and tricks in the preparation that will make your camping trip a healthy yet fun one.
Below are some recommendations at what you might like to consider putting in your camping pantry:
The key to feeding kids whilst camping is to keep it basic.
Below are some camping food tips when cooking for kids, just to ensure they are not only having a great time but eating well too.
Steamed Vegetables
Lightly steam vegetable and place in tray with a dash of garlic butter.
Then when camping place this in the fire or BBQ allowing the butter to melt over the vegetables as they heat up.
This is great on its own or as a side dish.
Traditional Lasagne can be made with grated vegetables such as carrot and zucchini or a Vegetable Lasagne, which ever you prefer.
Again simply prepare in advance and put individual serves in foil trays to ensure heating up of meal is completed in a timely manner.
Zucchini or Vegetable Slice
A Zucchini or Vegetable Slice is another great one, which is often eaten as a snack as well as a meal.
Make this in advance and wrap in cling wrap.
You can either put this on ice or refrigerate or if you don't think you'll eat if in the first day or too, why not freeze it to ensure it remains fresh.
Another great camping food tip is to have a number of cooking activities that involve the kids which will enhance the camping experience. Check out our Kids Camping Recipes for some fun camping food ideas and safe cooking ideas that involve the kids.

Bell Helicopter has selected Chelton Flight Systems to provide a synthetic-vision EFIS cockpit for the 407 program. The contract has a potential value of more than $100 million.
Bell claims to be the first OEM to offer synthetic vision for all its light and medium single-engine models. Plans call for Chelton equipment to become the "preferred" system offered for the 206B JetRanger, 206L LongRanger and the new 210.
The Chelton EFIS is currently certified on more than 450 different fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft types. It was developed in conjunction with the FAA's Capstone program in Alaska, where advanced flight display technology has reduced the accident rate among commercial operators by more than 40 percent.

Tallyho, hip-hip, and all that sort of rot. The veddy British Chargers turn New Orleans bread pudding into Yorkshire.
Chargers 28, Saints 21
Tim Sullivan, Union-Tribune columnist
The Changing of the Guard is not to be missed. The Changing of the Quarterback is not to be forgotten. Drew Brees crosses the pond for payback.
Saints 30, Chargers 24
Kevin Acee, Union-Tribune Chargers writer
Until this defense shows it can get to and shut down a good quarterback, you'd be foolish to pick the Chargers. And don't underestimate Drew Brees' desire to stick it to his old friend A.J. Smith
Saints 23, Chargers 17
David Schexnaydre, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune
If the Saints ever needed a win, this is it. The Saints feel they can move the ball through the air, and Brees will be ready against his former team. Sedrick Ellis returns to the lineup to help anchor the defensive line; its ability to limit LaDainian Tomlinson will be a major factor.
Saints 28, Chargers 27

Turkiye'de Ihracatin Gelir ve Fiyat Esnekliklerine Bir Bakis : Bolgesel Farkliliklarin Onemi
[TR] Bu notta Turkiye'de mal ihracatini belirleyen temel unsurlarin, ihracat pazarlari arasinda ne olcude farklilastigi arastirilmistir. Bu amacla, 2003-2013 donemini kapsayan VAR analizi kullanilarak ihracat talep fonksiyonundaki esneklik katsayilari hesaplanmistir. Ihracatin gelir esnekligi gelismis ulkelerde, ozellikle de Euro Bolgesi'nde, belirgin olarak daha yuksek bulunmustur. Doviz kuru esnekligi ise Orta Dogu ve Afrika bolgesinde hem mutlak deger olarak daha yuksek bulunmus, hem de diger bolgelerin aksine istatistiki olarak anlamli oldugu saptanmistir. Bu bulgular, ihracatin belirleyici faktorleri arasinda, gerçeklestirilen mal ihracatinin kompozisyonundaki farkli yapiya paralel olarak, bolgesel farkliliklar oldugunu teyit etmektedir. [EN] In this note we have investigated to what extent the determinants of Turkish exports differentiate across export destinations. To this end, elasticity coefficients of export demand function are estimated by employing the VAR method for the 2003-2013 period. The estimated values for demand elasticity of exports are considerably higher in advanced countries, particularly in the Eurozone. We have found that the real exchange rate elasticity of exports in the Middle East and Africa region is not only higher in absolute terms but also statistically significant, contrary to other regions. These findings confirm that there are regional variations in the determinants of exports across destinations in accordance with the difference in the composition of export goods.
