U.S. Sen. Bob Corker thinks there's a "very strong chance" the U.S. Supreme Court will decide the recent health care reform bill is unconstitutional.
Corker issued a statement on the controversial law following this week's ruling from a Florida federal judge declaring the so-called individual mandate component of the law – and thus, because the mandate is such a strong piece of it, the entire law itself – unconstitutional.
Last November, Corker signed on to a legal brief filed in the case arguing the individual mandate, which says generally everyone must purchase health insurance under the new plan, is unconstitutional.
"It looks to me like there is a very strong chance the Supreme Court could rule this law unconstitutional, and my sense is we may be back at the drawing board doing something that is very much different as it relates to health care reform," Corker said. "And I think that is a good thing."
In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson compared the health care law to "a finely crafted watch" that has "one essential piece (the individual mandate)" that is "defective and must be removed. It cannot function as originally designed."
One of many reasons it is extraordinary and is attracting attention is for the way it does not follow the common judicial practice of throwing out a law's offending provision and leaving the rest intact.
"This conclusion is reached with full appreciation for the 'normal rule' that reviewing courts should ordinarily refrain from invalidating more than the unconstitutional part of a statute, but non-severability is required based on the unique facts of this case and the particular aspects of the (health care) act," it reads.

EDGE, the new city-county economic development agency, is on the books with Memphis City Council approval this week.
The council vote Tuesday ratified the Shelby County Commission's earlier decision to add two non-voting members – one from the City Council and the other from the County Commission – to the board of the Economic Development Growth Engine.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. and Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell had said earlier they didn't want elected officials on what was then a nine-member board. They had originally included themselves as non-voting members but dropped that idea.
The day after the council vote on the amended EDGE board this week, both mayors accepted the amendment and said they are ready to begin a national search to select a president and CEO for EDGE. The leader will report directly to both mayors on economic development efforts.

Memphis Goodwill's retail store at 574 Highland Ave. has become a half-price location. The new 50 percent discount concept is being implemented at the Highland store only.
The discount, which applies to everything in the store, is not a promotion but rather a change in the way the store does business.
"People know they can get a great deal at any Memphis Goodwill retail store location, thanks to donations provided by residents of the Memphis-area communities," said Tony Martini, chief executive officer and president of Memphis Goodwill Inc. "Purchases made at our stores help us to continue our mission of providing jobs for people with disabilities."
Founded in 1927, Memphis Goodwill Industries employs more than 500 individuals in Tennessee and Mississippi who face significant barriers to employment.
The principle behind the change is to give gently used donations another chance for a new home before they are taken to the nonprofit's Bargain Barn on Stage Road.
Goodwill Memphis executive vice president Dave Leutwyler said the discount store is another way the organization can sustain its green efforts.
"This will help us keep even more merchandise out of the landfills and get it into the hands of consumers in Memphis," he said. "The Highland store, which is located just around the corner from The University of Memphis, is a great place for this concept."
The store is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. Visit www.goodwillmemphis.org for more information.

The unemployment rate fell or stayed the same in December in two-thirds of the nation's largest metro areas, fresh evidence that employers are slowly adding jobs.
The Labor Department says the unemployment rate dropped in 207 of the 372 largest metro areas, the most to report a decline since September. The unemployment rate rose in 122 areas and was the same in 43.
Nationwide, the unemployment rate dropped sharply in December to 9.4 percent from 9.8 percent. About half that decline was because more unemployed workers gave up on their job searches. The government doesn't count people as unemployed when they stop looking for work.
Even with high unemployment nationwide, five metropolitan areas reported large job gains last year, including: Washington, D.C.; Dallas-Fort Worth; Boston; Phoenix, Ariz.; and Minneapolis-St. Paul.

God of all the ages,
on my visit to Jerusalem, the "City of Peace", spiritual home to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike, I bring before you the joys, the hopes and the aspirations, the trials, the suffering and the pain of all your people throughout the world.
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
hear the cry of the afflicted, the fearful, the bereft; send your peace upon this Holy Land, upon the Middle East, upon the entire human family; stir the hearts of all who call upon your name, to walk humbly in the path of justice and compassion.
"The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him" (Lam 3:25)!

LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. (AP) — An archaeological dig at a Colonial military site in the southern Adirondacks of New York has turned up thousands of artifacts, from butchered animal bones to uniform buttons, along with a lime kiln used to make mortar for a British fort that was never completed.
The six-week project that ended Friday at the Lake George Battlefield Park also uncovered a section of a stone foundation and brick floor of a small building likely constructed alongside a barracks in 1759, during the French and Indian War.
"That's the sort of clear-cut structure archaeologists love to see," said David Starbuck, leader of the State University of New York at Adirondack's annual archaeology field school.
Starbuck said the majority of the artifacts found were bones from butchered cattle and pigs, the main food sources for the American provincial soldiers and redcoats manning the wilderness outpost in the 18th century. But the team of some two dozen volunteers and college students conducting the first dig at the park since 2001 also turned up numerous uniform buttons, musket balls, gun flints and pottery shards.
Lake George was the scene of heavy military activity over a 25-year span beginning with the start of the French and Indian War in 1755 and running through the end of the American Revolution. Thousands of American and British soldiers and American Indian warriors passed through the forts built along the lake's southern end, and many of them left stuff behind, either lost or discarded in trash heaps at their encampments.
University of Vermont student Emilee Conroe of Ballston Spa didn't expect to find much during her two-week stint digging for college credit. She wound up uncovering piles of animal bones and a set of cufflinks that likely belonged to an officer.
"I really came in to just learn about archaeology," said the 19-year-old sophomore. "I expected to find one or two items."
Starbuck said the lime kiln was found next to the ruins of Fort George, located in the park. The British abandoned the fort in mid-construction at the end of the French and Indian War.
Many of the artifacts were found in shallow pits excavated just yards from a road that runs through the state-owned park and connects to another busy road. Clearly visible from both, the excavations drew thousands of visitors from among the throngs that descend on this popular tourist destination every summer, Starbuck said.
Many left with a better understanding of the site's significance in American history, he said.
"One of our goals was to make it a public education project, and we definitely had that," Starbuck said.

PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTIES: Mangers of stock mutual funds say it's more difficult than usual to predict what the market will do next year. Key issues include the "fiscal cliff" negotiations in Washington and tax and spending questions that lawmakers must deal with in 2013.
STRONG FUNDAMENTALS: Many fund managers remain optimistic for 2013 because corporate profits remain strong. Earnings have recently grown at a slower pace than in 2011, but they're still increasing.
STOCKS DISCOUNTED: Stocks remain modestly inexpensive, based on price-earnings ratios. That's a measure that shows investors how much they're paying for a dollar in earnings.

Blaster (computer worm)
Blaster Worm (also known as Lovsan, Lovesan or MSBlast) is a computer worm that spread on computers running operating systems Windows XP and Windows 2000, during August 2003.[1]
The worm was first noticed and started spreading on August 11, 2003. The rate that it spread increased until the number of infections peaked on August 13, 2003. Once a network (such as a company or university) was infected, it spread quicker within the network because firewalls typically did not prevent internal machines from using a certain port.[2] Filtering by ISPs and widespread publicity about the worm curbed the spread of Blaster.
On March 12, 2004, Jeffrey Lee Parson, an 18-year-old from Hopkins, Minnesota, was arrested for creating the B variant of the Blaster worm; he admitted responsibility and was sentenced to an 18-month prison term in January 2005.[3]
Creation and effects[edit]
According to court papers, the original Blaster was created after security researchers from the Chinese group Xfocus reverse engineered the original Microsoft patch that allowed for execution of the attack.[4]
The worm spreads by exploiting a buffer overflow discovered by the Polish security research group Last Stage of Delirium[5] in the DCOM RPC service on the affected operating systems, for which a patch had been released one month earlier in MS03-026 and later in MS03-039. This allowed the worm to spread without users opening attachments simply by spamming itself to large numbers of random IP addresses. Four versions have been detected in the wild.[6] These are the most well known exploits of the original flaw in RPC, but there were in fact another 12 different vulnerabilities which never saw very much media attention.[7]
The worm was programmed to start a SYN flood against port 80 of windowsupdate.com if the system date is after August 15 and before December 31st and after the 15th day of other months, thereby creating a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) against the site.[8] The damage to Microsoft was minimal as the site targeted was windowsupdate.com, rather than windowsupdate.microsoft.com to which the former was redirected. Microsoft temporarily shut down the targeted site to minimize potential effects from the worm.[citation needed]
The worm's executable, MSBlast.exe,[9] contains two messages. The first reads:
I just want to say LOVE YOU SAN!!
This message gave the worm the alternative name of Lovesan. The second reads:
billy gates why do you make this possible ? Stop making money
and fix your software!!
This is a message to Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft and the target of the worm.
The worm also creates the following registry entry so that it is launched every time Windows starts:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ windows auto update=msblast.exe
- May 28, 2003: Microsoft releases a patch that would protect users from an exploit in WebDAV that Welchia used. (Welchia used the same exploit as MSBlast but had an additional method of propagation that was fixed in this patch. This method was only used after 200,000 RPC DCOM attacks - the form that MSBlast used)[10][11]
- July 5, 2003: Timestamp for the patch that Microsoft releases on the 16th.[2]
- July 16, 2003: Microsoft releases a patch that would protect users from the yet unknown MSBlast. At the same time they also released a bulletin describing the exploit.[2][12]
- Around July 16, 2003: White hat hackers create proof-of-concept code verifying that the unpatched systems are vulnerable. The code was not released.[13]
- July 17, 2003: CERT/CC releases a warning and suggests blocking port 135.[14]
- July 21, 2003: CERT/CC suggests also blocking ports 139 and 445.[14]
- July 25, 2003: xFocus releases information on how to exploit the RPC bug that Microsoft released the July 16 patch to fix.[15]
- August 1, 2003: The U.S. issues an alert to be on the lookout for malware exploiting the RPC bug.[13]
- Sometime prior to August 11, 2003: Other viruses using the RPC exploit exist.[16]
- August 11, 2003: Original version of the worm appears on the Internet.[17]
- August 11, 2003: Symantec Antivirus releases a rapid release protection update.[18]
- August 11, 2003, evening: antivirus and security firms issued alerts to run Windows Update.[17]
- August 12, 2003: The number of infected systems is reported at 30,000.[17]
- August 13, 2003: Two new worms appear and begin to spread. (Sophos, a variant of MSBlast and W32/RpcSpybot-A, a totally new worm that used the same exploit) [19]
- August 15, 2003:The number of infected systems is reported at 423,000.[20]
- August 16, 2003: DDoS attack against windowsupdate.com starts. (Largely unsuccessful because that url is merely a redirect to the real site, windowsupdate.microsoft.com) [17]
- August 18, 2003: Microsoft issues an alert regarding MSBlast and its variants.[21]
- August 18, 2003: The related helpful worm, Welchia, appears on the internet.[22]
- August 19, 2003: Symantec upgrades their risk assessment of Welchia to "high" (category 4).[23]
- August 25, 2003: McAfee lowers their risk assessment to "Medium".[24]
- August 27, 2003: A potential DDoS attack against HP is discovered in one variant of the worm.[25]
- January 1, 2004: Welchia deletes itself.[26]
- January 13, 2004: Microsoft releases a stand-alone tool to remove the MSBlast worm and its variants.[27]
- February 15, 2004: A variant of the related worm Welchia is discovered on the internet.[28]
- February 26, 2004: Symantec lowers their risk assessment "Low" (category 2). (Actually this pertains to the related worm Welchia, not to MSBlast itself) [29]
- March 12, 2004: McAfee lowers their risk assessment to "Low".[24]
- April 21, 2004: Another variant is discovered.[24]
- January 28, 2005: The creator of the "B" variant of MSBlaster is sentenced to 18 months in prison.[30]
Side effects[edit]
Although the worm can only spread on systems running Windows 2000 or Windows XP, it can cause instability in the RPC service on systems running other versions of Windows NT, including Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. In particular, the worm does not spread in Windows Server 2003 because Windows Server 2003 was compiled with the /GS switch, which detected the buffer overflow and shut the RPCSS process down.[31] When infection occurs, the buffer overflow causes the RPC service to crash, leading Windows to display the following message and then automatically reboot, usually after 60 seconds.[32]
|System Shutdown:
This system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. This shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Time before shutdown: hours:minutes:seconds
Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service terminated unexpectedly.
This was the first indication many users had an infection; it often occurred a few minutes after every startup on compromised machines. A simple resolution to stop countdown is to run the "shutdown /a" command,[33] causing some side effects such as an empty (without users) Welcome Screen.[34] The Welchia worm had a similar effect. Months later, the Sasser worm surfaced, which caused a similar message to appear.

Guns Rights Before Spokane City Council
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — About 10 men openly carried their firearms at yesterday's city council meeting in Spokane to show their support for gun rights. The Spokesman-Review reports the council approved an ordinance to clarify that public assembly areas such as Joe Albi Stadium may ban firearms. Council members say the ordinance brings city rules in line with state law.

Gov. Chris Christie needs to do more to stand out among other Republicans who potentially have their sights set on the party's 2016 presidential nomination, according to a Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind Poll released Thursday morning.
Though the poll found that Christie is the front-runner among Republicans, with 18 percent support from party voters, other potential candidates are not far behind, with U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky at 15 percent, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 14 percent and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio at 11 percent.
The only possible Republican candidate that Christie is posting a considerable lead over, according to the poll, is Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who comes in at 5 percent.
If Christie wants to extend his lead, he's going to have to do a better job of corralling support from more conservative Republicans and Tea Party members, poll numbers show. Fifteen percent of Republicans who identify as having a favorable view of the Tea Party support Christie — a stark contrast with the 21 percent belonging to Cruz. Those Republicans who simply identify as conservatives tend to also prefer Cruz, with 18 percent supporting him, compared to Christie's 13 percent.
Moderate Republicans appear to be Christie's base, the poll found, as he takes 30 percent of the vote among them compared to the next possible challenger, Paul, who comes in at 17 percent.
"Christie's lead among Republicans doesn't necessarily translate into an easy time in the primaries," poll director and university professor Krista Jenkins said in the report. "Conservatives and Tea Partiers are the most likely voters in the primaries, and he'll need to do better among them if he wants the nomination."
For Democrats, the poll found that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to hold a wide lead over the rest of the pack, with 63 percent support among party voters. The next possible challenger, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, comes in at 9 percent support, and trailing even further are Vice President Joe Biden at 5 percent and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo at 1 percent.
Jenkins said that, compared to the last time the poll looked at 2016 partisan favorites in April, the "landscape hasn't changed much." She added that while Rubio then held a lead of four percentage points over Christie, Clinton had basically the same amount of support from her party.
"Right now, it's a name recognition game, with Clinton maintaining her clear edge over others and regional leaders in the Republican Party trying hard to be recognized outside their native soil," Jenkins said.

Flyers, Simmonds run over Rangers to force Game 7
The Wayne Train ensured the Philadelphia Flyers' season stayed on the tracks for at least one more day.
With his team facing elimination, Wayne Simmonds delivered his first playoff hat trick in a dominating performance as the Flyers earned a 5-2 victory over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night at Wells Fargo Center.
The winner-takes-all Game 7 goes Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden and a date with the Pittsburgh Penguins awaiting the victor.
Simmonds had been relatively quiet offensively in this series heading into Game 6, limited to an empty-net goal that sealed Game 2 and an assist in Game 4.
However, the right winger from Toronto came through with his best game when the season was on the line.
"We just kept going and didn't quit on plays. That was the difference," Simmonds said. "Obviously, it's do or die. Win or we go home. I think everyone in the dressing room did a good job getting prepared for the game. We're not ready to go home yet. We want to move on to the second round. I thought we did a good job. We've just got to carry the momentum to (Wednesday) night."
Playing with the urgency required of a team that is facing elimination, the Flyers' top players picked a good time to come up with their best effort.
Aside from the dominance of Simmonds, the Flyers got an empty-net goal and two assists from captain Claude Giroux, who has moved into a tie with Rangers forwards Brad Richards and Martin St. Louis for the series lead with two goals and six points in six games.
Not bad for a guy who has been under the microscope for much of the series due to his lack of production.
Flyers head coach Craig Berube was rewarded for inserting Erik Gustafsson into the lineup, as the Swedish blue-liner scored a breakaway goal after serving a penalty for high-sticking during the second period for what turned out to be the game-winner after the Rangers got markers from Carl Hagelin and Mats Zuccarello late in the third period.
Gustafsson, filling in for Nicklas Grossmann (who will miss eight to 10 weeks after undergoing ankle surgery on Tuesday) and replacing veteran Hal Gill, was playing his first game of the series and didn't look out of place in just over 18 minutes of ice time.
"That was a huge goal. Getting out of the penalty box like that, he got a break but he did a good job of putting it in the net," Berube. said "His game overall was good. He moved the puck well, skated well. He was heads-up all game."
The Flyers also got an impressive performance from goalie Steve Mason, who kicked out 34 saves to record his second win in three starts this series after returning from an undisclosed upper-body injury.
Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist didn't get a lot of support before giving up four goals on 23 shots, which left him sitting on the bench during the third period as Cam Talbot took over and got his first taste of Stanley Cup playoff action.
"Every loss hurts," said Lundqvist, who will make a 74th consecutive start in goal for the Rangers on Wednesday night.
The Flyers scored twice on the power play, while the Rangers continue to struggle with the man advantage.
After cashing in early in the series, the Rangers are now in the midst of a zero-for-20 drought and are three-for-28 overall as they find themselves on even footing with a Flyers team that has already been able to keep their season alive once this spring.
"They don't hand you a win. You've got to play the game," St. Louis said. "Some nights, it goes your way, sometimes it doesn't."
The Rangers don't plan to spend any time feeling sorry for themselves.
By the time they walked out of the building to board the train board for New York City, the page had already been turned.
"We don't have a choice," Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault said.
What's the best part about playing in a Game 7?
Following a 5-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers that evened the Metropolitan Division semifinal at three games a piece, New York Rangers centre Brad Richards easily captured the spirit of what is on tap for Wednesday night's elimination game at Madison Square Garden.
"All day you're going to be intense," Richards said. "To get to go into MSG in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs, there won't be anything we do in our life to duplicate that feeling. You've got to cherish it, they don't come along too often. We're on home ice. Love and embrace the challenge."
Rangers winger Martin St. Louis agreed.
"They're great games to play. Fun games," St. Louis said. "We're disappointed about the result tonight, but we have a chance to do something good tomorrow. We're going to have to bring our best That's the bottom line."

@Sugetsu - what do you think a democracy is? Venezuela is currently a democracy. Ancient Athens with all its slavery and warmongering was a democratic city-state. I'm just saying that even though a country is a democracy doesn't mean you will agree with it's policies..
I may be odd, and it's impractical for this discussion, but recently I have been thinking of democracy like a technology you unlock in a Civ game. It's great in many ways, better than most other forms of government tried, however doesn't necessarily work that well depending on overriding desired policy outcomes and particular civilizations. Oh, and it's possible to be an imperialistic democratic nation. And.. One of my musings is what's the next technology we unlock?
EDIT: And to be clear, the U.S. isn't nearly in as sorry a state as many other nations .. don't throw the baby out with the bath water..

There's an old saying in politics: "Incumbents rarely lose in good economies; they rarely win in bad ones".
And the US has a bad economy right now. People are looking for somebody to blame (and punish) for that, and the current American Administration becomes an easy target.
The fact that Obama had a comfortable lead over Romney before the debates just shows what a very weak candidate Romney is. However, Romney has become a pretty good debater through a helluva lot of practice in the Republican primaries, while Obama was naturally rusty since he never had a primary challenge to go through this time.
My sense is that your average swing voter (i.e. the people that ultimately will decide the US Presidential election) has been thinking the following: "Our current economy is garbage, and so Obama has been a disappointment as President. He doesn't deserve to be re-elected, but this other guy Romney worries me. He doesn't seem to care about most middle class Americans like me. I guess it's going to be another one of those elections where I have to pick the lesser of two evils...".
So Obama's job is to either earn forgiveness or make his performance seem better than how its currently perceived (or make Romney seem unacceptable).
Romney's job is to make himself seem acceptable, and make sure that the public doesn't forgive Obama.
Romney's job is the easier of the two, so the fact he was completely failing at it until the debates shows his weaknesses as a candidate.
But given how widely viewed the debates are, Romney is now starting to achieve the "acceptable" part (where perception is what is most important). Will he fully achieve it? That probably depends on how the rest of the debates go (and how many gaffes Romney makes for his side, and how many gaffes Biden makes for his side; Biden saying that the middle class has been buried over the past four years is one of the worst gaffes I've ever seen - Not as bad as Romney's 47% stuff, but it plays right into the narrative that the Romney Campaign wants to tell).

The ultimate goal of the GOP is to privatize everything. They want a laissez faire state, and Americans all over the country are supporting this idea even if it is against their own interest, why, because they can't think critically.
The only way to change the US in my opinion is through some bloody revolution that I certainly don't want to take part of, or through the course of decades of intense protests.

@Sumeragi : To be fair, getting worked up over unruly protesters only amounts to scratching the surface. Protests that have gone wrong, are wrong. But one doesn't cure diseases by bludgeoning their symtomps. It's but appropriate to set apart the actual problems to address from their reflections in public sphere, and avoid falling into the trap of getting too incited over the later. Frankly, you do come accross as setting the bar too low on how proper protesting should be so far, but perhaps it's only us being stucked in the emotional quicksand....
Oh and one more thing I should inform everyone in this thread about : don't romanticize democracy too much. No governmental system is immune to elite domination and corruption, including democracy of every incarnation. US has never been a perfect democracy. No country has ever been.

You say in your own words 1) There's nothing can be done, 2) There's some media conspiracy that shut down "Occupy" and 3) The country is already an oligarchy and this election could make it worse.
I'm not going to address 2) because both sides, Dems/Reps point at the media and say it's being unfair to them. When they cover protests, the protesters say their message is being taken out of context and they're being censored.. and the more conservative say they're being "sensational." There's no conspiracy.
But, for your points 1 & 3, they contradict each other logically. You get that right? The fact that it could be worse means that it also could possibly not be. The fact that the Republicans may not get elected means there is stuff you can do -- you could go out, volunteer, be part of the democratic electoral engine. Or maybe your time is otherwise too valuable? Donate money? Offer to round up people and drive them to the polls? Just because you don't necessarily see the difference you make doesn't mean you can't do anything.. Otherwise you're being apathetic and can't see how a single person contributes to the whole. Remember giant skyscrapers and all that humanity has accomplished, are at the end of the day .. built by men and women. A lot of them. One step at a time.
@Aegir - Not trying to romanticize democracy, not at all (as you could see from my comment above), but we're here discussing political rhetoric, I'm not willing to give people a free pass to just state it here and walk away

It's just hard to see Romney winning. Obama wasn't in the shape for the last debate, but he still has everything else going for him. For anyone who doesn't like any of the big two can vote for any of the minor candidates that have no chance of winning should any come closest to your views. That will at least make a statement, regardless of whether it will be heard by anyone...
@wilx : I certainly didn't direct it to anyone in particular, especially you. I directed that to this thread in general. As for how I think of political debates in general, see my signature.

I could go on and on but if you don't agree with me there is nothing I can do to convince you otherwise.
I am for something far more drastic and revolutionary called the Zeitgeist movement, which wants to do away with politics and corporations, among many other things, and for that I am doing way more than just talking about it.

After the debate, which a lot of people think Romney 'won' (which is crazy, he didn't even stand by his positions and a lot of his points of debate didn't hold up well), people say Romney has regained some ground. Has it hurt the Obama campaign much? I see ABC News hyping this up, but I don't know how much of it is true, and how much of it is ABC News hyping things up (as we all know, TV News broadcasts always hype up things).
How negative has it been for the Obama campaign? Are their chances still good, it is just that Obama pretty much had an oppurtunity to send the Romney campaign to it's grave that night?
How is Obama doing in the swing states, generally speaking, compared to Romney? How is he fairing a week or so after the debate? I know he had a good lead.

People scare me sometimes...
CNN took a poll about PBS's budget...
7% of people thought they received about HALF of the US Budget...you gotta be fucking shitting me.
30% thought their budget was 5%
They actually get 0.014% (22.3 million) and Romney wants to cut funding *facepalm* meanwhile we've spent like 5 trillion on our "War on Terror" -_-

We asked you and the votes are in: DeMario's Pizza Shop is Your Choice for best happy hour.
We asked you and the votes are in: DeMario's Pizza Shop is Your Choice for best happy hour.
Philip DeMario's two connected businesses, Michael D's Bar and DeMario's Pizza Shop have a very devoted group of regulars who come back again and again for the "welcoming atmosphere," said Al Risalitti.
"Our bartenders are friendly and try to get to know the names of the customers," he added. Some even compare DeMario's to "Cheers."
DeMario's Pizza and Michael D's feature:
• Happy hour from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• More than 20 TVs with the NFL ticket.
• A full-service heated patio with TVs throughout.
• A full menu with a variety of Italian food, many selections that are made from scratch.
• On football game days, specials include: $2.50 individual pizza, $5 small pizza, $10 large one-topping pizza and 10 wings for $5.
• DJs and special entertainment on selected days.
Here are five questions with Philip DeMario.
1. Tell me about your business. When did you start? Why did you decide to get into the restaurant/bar biz?
The business was opened about eight years ago.
I decided to locate my business in Stark County because it has been a home to the DeMario family for more than a century. The Philip DeMario Moving & Storage was established in 1920.
I thought that a sports bar and grill, alongside a pizza shop, would be a great concept. Michael D's and DeMario's Pizza Shop are in the same building.
The Pizza Shop also features a drive thru. The location, at 1411 Whipple Ave. in Canton, across from Meyer's Lake Plaza, is a high-traffic area.
2. What do you want to tell the people who voted for your business?
All the employees at Michael D's and DeMario's Pizza would like to thank our loyal patrons for voting for us.
3. What's your favorite happy hour food and drink? What's your best selling item during happy hour?
We have several appetizers, with a new menu to be introduced this month. I particularly love the old standby of pizza, the Italian stromboli and our made-from-scratch meatballs.
4. What's the best sport to have on TV during happy hour?
Football and golf.
5. What's your favorite pizza, and what's in it?
Without a doubt, the Deluxe, loaded with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, banana peppers and onions!

Duck into any government ministry or executive boardroom here on Fridays these days and you'll notice a little extra splash of color. Loose shirts with geometrical patterns in red and maroon have replaced stiff pin-striped suits. Bright flowing wax-print dresses have nudged out conservative skirts and blouses.
This is "casual Fridays," African style.
The Ghanaian government is urging civil servants and office workers to abandon their Westernized business attire in favor of local fabrics. But unlike in the US and elsewhere, where khakis and an open collar is the boss's way of bringing a little ease to the end of the week, Ghana's "National Friday Wear," launched last month, has bigger things on its mind. Its goal is two-fold: to celebrate African culture, and, more important, to create jobs by reviving a textile industry that has all but collapsed.
Ghanaians - like the citizens of nearly every African country - predominantly wear second-hand clothes from Europe and North America. Nonprofit groups sell donated clothing in bulk to exporters, who in turn sell them across Africa. For the poor, used clothing is the cheapest way to dress. Hip young urbanites who have more money to spend consider the second-hand clothes fashionable simply because they evoke America. Even cabinet ministers have been spotted buying Western suits in Kantamanto, a disused railway yard turned mall-sized used-clothing market.
But it has taken its toll on what was once a thriving industry here. Ghana imports some $43 million worth of used clothes annually, more than any other African nation, says the International Trade Center, based in Geneva. By contrast, its clothing exports - mostly socks - totaled just $4 million last year. The country that once employed some 25,000 textile workers now has just 3,000.
Enter "National Friday Wear."
It took little to persuade Kofi Andoh, an accountant with National Insurance Co., to leave his a jacket and tie in the closet once a week. "This place is very hot," says Mr. Andoh, sporting the loose-fitting red and maroon shirt. "We should be allowed to wear this anytime."
"You have to portray some of your culture," says a woman named Golda, wearing a multicolored wax print dress featuring the logo of the Bank of Ghana, her employer.
Ghana has a tradition of creating stunning cloth. The pinnacle is the woven silk known as kente, worn off the shoulder toga-style by royalty in the Ashanti kingdom, an ethnic group in central Ghana. Recently reelected President John Kufuor donned one during his inauguration four years ago. Ghanaians also adopted batik from Dutch traders bringing the cloth from the East Indies. Wax prints - brightly colored often fanciful patterns worn by women - are popular here as they are across West Africa.
But under British rule, Africans who wanted to get ahead adopted the manners - and dress - of their colonial masters. The trend continued even after Ghana became the first African colony to gain its independence, in 1957.
"If you wanted to look educated you had to dress Western," says Kofi Ansah, a Ghanaian fashion designer who studied at the Chelsea School of Art in London. In the 1980s, when other countries were promoting African identity, Ghanaian fabric developed a reputation for poor quality. "People only wore local fabrics because they couldn't afford imported ones," says Mr. Ansah.
He's been at the forefront of trying to change that, working with Ghanaian Textile Printing to improve its products and more recently submitting winning designs to the government's competition for "National Friday Wear."
"It is my dream to see Ghana develop a clothing industry," Ansah says. He believes there is a niche market for Ghanaian-designed clothes among African-Americans. "If we are not wearing our own stuff here how can we expect to go sell it to someone else?"
Ben Peasah, in charge of promoting Made in Ghana goods for the Ministry of Trade and Industry, makes appearances on breakfast TV shows wearing Ghanaian clothing to boost "National Friday Wear."
"Relaxed, comfortable, easy-going," he says, sitting behind his cluttered desk at the ministry wearing a white shirt with black and gray traditional African Adinkra symbols designed by Kofi Ansah. People have stopped him on the street to ask where he got the shirt, he adds.
The Friday-wear competition called for designers to create clothes that are "unique, simple, functional, and affordable," says Mr. Peasah. Affordability is the toughest criteria to achieve. The government is helping some of Ghana's few clothing manufacturers produce shirts for the equivalent of about $15 - cheap by European standards, but the price of an entire wardrobe of second-hand clothes.
Used clothes have caused tens of thousands of jobs to disappear in South Africa, Senegal, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania, among other countries, according to the International Textile Garment and Leather Workers Federation. Neil Kearney, the union's general secretary, has called the second-hand clothes market "a scavenging trade, where companies get their products practically free before converting them into huge profits."
Here in Ghana, they call it abruni waawu - literally, "a white man has died."
Isaac Antwi-Bonsu, chairman of the sellers at Kantamanto, says he welcomes the government's move to urge Ghanaians to wear local clothes more often. But he opposes calls by some union officials and clothing manufacturers in Africa to boost domestic textile industries by banning imports of second-hand clothes.
"We are a Third World country, and (used clothes) are affordable," he says.

DECLO, Idaho (AP) — A southern Idaho teacher whose students used a permanent marker on the faces of classmates who fell short of reading goals is the subject of a formal complaint.
Cassia County School District officials said Monday that they filed the complaint against Declo Elementary School fourth-grade teacher Summer Larsen. The Idaho State Department of Education's Professional Standards Commission, which has the power to suspend or revoke teaching licenses, will examine the case, the Twin Falls Times-News (http://bit.ly/UcSdwv) reported.
Some parents and administrators said the face-marking punishments given to six students in Larsen's class were inappropriate and left the children feeling shamed.
One 10-year-old came home in tears after his entire face, including his eyelids, had been scribbled on with green, red and purple markers.
The students were allowed to choose their own incentive to meet the reading goal. But instead of a reward, the class chose a punishment: Students who failed to meet the goal could either stay inside at recess until it was met, or have their faces written on by classmates who met the goals.
Nine students didn't meet the goals, the paper reported Friday. Three chose to forgo recess, and the other six opted to have their faces marked on.
The ink was difficult to wash off, and some of the children said they felt humiliated — especially when they had to ride the bus home.
"The investigation on this is also ongoing in the district," said Cassia County School District Superintendent Galen Smyer, declining to give specifics on the complaint other than to say it's a "personnel issue."
He said Larsen remains employed with the district but he wouldn't confirm whether she was placed on administrative leave.
Efforts to contact Larsen were unsuccessful.

BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches {Slow Cooker}
BBQ pulled pork sandwiches rank right up there with some of my husband's favorite meals. I tried three recipes last year that I thought would be sure winners and they were awful.
One was so strong on the vinegar, we all gagged while it was cooking; the other two were just average and nothing to write home about.
So when my old high school friend, Sarah, sent me this recipe raving about it's delicious simplicity, I tried it. And tried it. And tried it. And it has been a hit every time.
In fact, just last week, I made it for our family reunion serving 13 kids and 13 adults and it was scarfed down (the leftovers were made into everything from nachos to quesadillas to pork/avocado rollups).
The recipe is so easy it is nearly mindless but it produces pork that is falling apart in it's tenderness with a hint of hickory smokiness.
Combined with my favorite homemade BBQ sauce and these to-die for rolls, this is seriously a meal for all seasons. (Thanks, Sarah!)
French Bread Rolls (for the bun)
An awesome side like this: Barbecue Macaroni Salad, Coleslaw, or these Boston Baked Beans
Fresh vegetables and/or green salad
One Year Ago: Easy Chipotle Chicken Tacos
Two Years Ago: Fusilli alla Caprese
Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches
- 3 to 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder (I've also used boneless pork loin – not tenderloin – but pork loin with good results)
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon hickory flavored liquid smoke
- 2 cups barbecue sauce
- Rinse the pork shoulder and pat dry. Rub salt and pepper over the pork and place in a slow cooker. Add water and liquid smoke. Cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours, until the pork is very tender.
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker and discard the remaining liquid. Shred the pork using a couple of forks. Place the meat back in the slow cooker along with the barbecue sauce and continue to cook for another 20-30 minutes until the pork is hot again. Serve on buns with extra barbecue sauce.

About Celebrity Autobiography
How does Vanna flip her panels? What does Stallone have in his freezer? Why did Burt and Loni topple from the upper tier of their wedding cake? What makes the Jonas Brothers get along? Find all this out and more in the new hit comedy "Celebrity Autobiography" where super star memoirs are acted out live on stage. Audiences walk away from the show asking, "Did they actually write that?" Yes, we couldn't make this stuff up!
Created and developed by Emmy award nominated writer-performer Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel, "Celebrity Autobiography" features a first rate comedic ensemble performing from the actual memoirs of a wide range of celebrities. The passages run the gamut from the "poetry" of Suzanne Somers to the shocking "romance tips" from Tommy Lee to the most famous Hollywood love triangle in history – Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds, and Eddie Fisher. And what's remarkable and unforgettably hilarious – It's all in their own words.
Running for three sold out years in New York; "Celebrity Autobiography" won the 2009 Drama Desk Award in the category of Unique Theatrical Experience and the 2010 Bistro Awards. The show has been one of the most critically acclaimed productions ever in the Off-Broadway scene and one of the most "buzzed about shows" of recent years.

Boy, it just wasn't J.C. Penney's year.
The mid-priced department store chain reported another much larger-than-expected loss in the fiscal fourth quarter on a nearly 30 percent plunge in revenue in the latest sign shoppers aren't happy with the changes it's made in the past year.
Boy, it just wasn't J.C. Penney's year.
The mid-priced department store chain reported another much larger-than-expected loss in the fiscal fourth quarter on a nearly 30 percent plunge in revenue in the latest sign shoppers aren't happy with the changes it's made in the past year.
The results mark a full year of massive quarterly losses and revenue declines that miss Wall Street estimates since J.C. Penney Co. began a turnaround strategy that included ditching most of its coupons and sales events in favor of everyday low prices, bringing in hipper designer brands such as Betsy Johnson and remaking outdated stores.
The quarterly performance puts additional pressure on CEO Ron Johnson, the former Apple Inc. executive who was brought about a year ago to turn the stodgy retailer that was losing money into a hip and profitable company that can compete with the likes of Macy's or H&M. In the past year since Johnson rolled out his plan, though, even once loyal customers have strayed away from the 1,100-store chain.
While acknowledging that Penney made some mistakes during a conference call with investors, Johnson said on Wednesday that Penney will start offering more sales in stores — about 100 of the 600 or so the chain offered prior to the turnaround plan. That's in addition to the sales events that the company said last month that it would start offering during holidays and other key sales periods throughout the year.
"Experience is making mistakes and learning from them, and I have learned a lot," Johnson said. "We worked really hard and tried many things to help the customer understand that she shop any time on her terms. But we learned she prefers a sale. At times, she loves a coupon. And she always needs a reference price."
Teresa Cansell agrees. She used to make the 45-mile trek from her farm near Leon, Kan., to a Penney store in Wichita about once a month. But since Penney started making changes last year, she's only been twice. And on her latest trip in December, she walked out empty handed because she couldn't find a leather jacket she wanted.
"I loved the old J.C. Penney. I liked the coupons," Cansell, 53, said. "I used to go to Penney every time I got them in the mail. I would buy a ton of stuff."
Penney's results show that other shoppers feel the same way. During the fourth quarter that ended Feb. 2, Penney's revenue at stores opened at least a year — a figure the retail industry uses to measure of a store's health — dropped 31.7 percent.
That's on top of hefty drops in the previous three quarters of 26.1 percent in the third, 21.7 percent in the second and 19 percent in the first. And it's steeper than the decline of 26.1 percent Wall Street had expected.
Penney, based in Plano, Texas, also widened its loss to $552 million, or $2.51 per share, up from a loss of $87 million, or 41 cents per share a year ago. Excluding charges related to restructuring and management changes, Penney's adjusted loss for the quarter was $427 million, or $1.95 per share.
Total revenue dropped 28.4 percent to $3.88 billion. Analysts had expected a loss of 23 cents on revenue of $4.08 billion, according to research firm FactSet.
Penney's results for the full year reveal just how much the company is struggling to shore up its business. For the fiscal year, Penney lost $985 million, or $4.49 per share, compared with a loss of $152 million, or 70 cents per share, in fiscal 2011. And the company's revenue fell nearly a quarter, or 24.8 percent, to $12.98 billion from the previous year's $17.26 billion.
"It's the worst performance I have ever seen by a company in one year," said Walter Loeb, an independent retail consultant.
Wall Street hasn't been any happier than Main Street with Penney's changes. On the news of its quarterly results, which were reported after markets were closed for the day, Penney shares fell about 9 percent about $19 in after-hour trading.
In total, investors, who initially sent Penney shares soaring 24 percent to about $43 after the company announced the everyday pricing plan in late January of last year, have pushed them down by about half since early last year.
It's a disappointing turn of events from November 2011 when Johnson took the top job at Penney. A couple of months later, on Feb. 1 of last year, Johnson launched a new pricing that was designed to wean customers off the markdowns they'd become accustomed to, but that ultimately eat into profits.
He got rid of the nearly 600 sales Penney offered at various times throughout the year for a three-tiered strategy that permanently lowered prices on all items in the store by 40 percent, offered monthlong discounts on select items and periodic clearance events throughout the year. He also got rid of the word "sales" from the company's marketing and rolled out colorful ads that featured dogs and children.
But customers weren't responding to the changes, so Johnson tweaked his strategy a few times, including bringing back the word "sale" last summer. The latest changes came this month when Penney began adding back more sales events. It also started putting price tags on half of its merchandise that show customers how much they're saving by shopping at Penney, and rolled out new ads.
Penney said Wednesday that it now will focus on discounting its store label merchandise like Arizona, not the new brands like Joe Fresh, which features brightly colored clothes.
In addition to those changes, Johnson has said that Penney is starting to see some positive results from its makeover of stores with sectioned-off shops that feature different brands. The company said the reception has been warm to the 10 mini-shops that it rolled out this fall, including those for Levi's brand and Penney's new JCP line of casual clothes. Other brands, including Joe Fresh, will be rolled out in coming years.
Johnson, who had previously said that the stores would remodeled by the end of 2015, on Wednesday backtracked a bit:
"The customer will dictate the timing," he said.
But the worry on Wall Street is that Johnson won't be able to turn around business fast enough to finance the transformation of its stores. In November, Penney said that it would end last year with $1 billion in cash. Penney winded up ending the year with $930 million in cash, which was better than analysts had feared but below the company's target.
Penney said Wednesday that it had short-term access to $3 billion in short-term capital to finance its multi-year transformation. And customers like Ricky Rodriguez, from Fort Worth, Texas, offer hope for the company.
"I feel like the guy section is getting more hip," said the 27-year-old who recently bought a dress shirt for $25 at Penney. "I've been going there every other week."

- World Cup
Januzaj not really English, says Hodgson
Roy Hodgson says he will not lose sleep over Adnan Januzaj's England snub.
The FA was keen to get Januzaj to commit his international future to England, but last week the Manchester United forward instead pledged his allegiance to Belgium - the country of his birth - with manager Marc Wilmots selecting the 19-year-old for his preliminary World Cup squad.
England handed Arsenal fitness boost
- England manager Roy Hodgson has been assured by Arsene Wenger that Arsenal duo Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be fit for the World Cup.
- Click here to continue reading
Januzaj, who could also have played for Turkey, Albania, Kosovo or Serbia, is regarded as one of the most talented teenagers in the country following an impressive breakthrough season at Old Trafford.
But Hodgson admits it would have been strange to see Januzaj commit to England - particularly when he would not have been eligible for another four years.
"If a player isn't eligible to play for England until 2018, then what's the problem if he goes and plays for someone else?'' Hodgson said of Januzaj.
"I'm sorry, but sometimes I don't see what the fuss is about. He's not English anyway - let's be fair. We can argue that, under the current FIFA rules, by 2018, he might be eligible to play for England.
"But how can you be upset in 2014 if he goes and plays for one of the other countries that he's actually eligible for? He was born and brought up in Belgium. We can't be disappointed by that.
"It would be very different if he was available to play for us and we passed up the opportunity and he went to play for Belgium. The question would be relevant. But it's not relevant when he can't play until 2018."

I Remember Stephen Baltz
I was just a kid of 10 when a United DC-8 and a TWA Constellation named Star of Sicily collided over Staten Island on December 16th, 1960, raining debris and bodies over a neighborhood in Brooklyn called Park Slope. It would be an accident of many firsts�the first passenger jet crash in the U.S., the first use of flight recorders in an investigation, the largest major crash in a metropolitan area and the largest loss of life to date. It was also the first time television news covered a major crash and that is, I'm sure, how I learned about Stephen Baltz. I never forgot his name.
Stephen, then 11 years old, had been aboard the United DC-8, traveling alone from Chicago to meet his grandparents in New York. Improbably, he was thrown from the burning wreckage and recovered from a snow drift. Badly burned, he survived for only a day, but he was the only passenger aboard whom a curious public learned anything about and that wasn't much. For a young kid, it didn't take much imagination to identify with the horror he endured. I distinctly remember our family going to Catholic Mass on that Friday night to pray for Stephen. His memory would come up again and again as my life unfolded.
What I couldn't understand is why it came up last week, on the 50th anniversary of the crash. Although the mainstream media likes to cover anniversaries, air crashes don't necessarily rise to the top as story ideas. This one did because the New York Times decided to essentially re-report the story a half century later, interviewing witnesses and survivors on the ground and seeking eye witness accounts on its Web site. In this engaging interview on On the Media, the Times' Wendell Jamieson explained how (and why) the Times fashioned the coverage.
For me personally, the details of this crash recurred throughout my reporting career because of how it reshaped the system. Although few pilots or passengers may remember it�nor should they�old hands in the FAA and the air safety community do. A decade ago, I was writing some flyspeck article about instrument procedures and the subject of holding pattern speed and sizes came up. The FAA procedures maven I was talking to knew it was connected to the Park Slope crash, but he was too young to remember it directly or to recall Stephen Baltz's name. But I did.
I remembered him again in researching the origins of ATCRBS-the ATC secondary radar beacon system that we now take for granted but which didn't exist in 1960. Radar separation was rudimentary, with controllers gathered around flat table radar displays, pushing plastic shrimp boats with hand-written data on tags. Mode-C altitude reporting didn't exist, so they relied on pilot reports for altitude, not to mention position reports and estimates. This was considered a factor in the crash and directly or indirectly pushed the FAA's Project Beacon, which ultimately gave us modern transponders and secondary radar.
Every flight instructor quizzes his charges on FAR 91.117�indicated airspeed limits below 10,000 feet and speed to maintain within four miles of an airport. This rule emerged directly from the Park Slope accident. The DC-8 was instructed to hold at a fix over New Jersey then called Preston, but it blazed past the clearance limit at more than 300 knots at 5000 feet, covering the distance to the edge of LaGuardia's approach airspace in under three minutes.
Preston intersection was formed by the intersection of two radials and the post accident investigation revealed inconsistent reports on whether both VORs were functioning correctly. Some pilots said they were, others raised doubts. But one of the DC-8's VOR receivers wasn't working, a malfunction not reported to ATC, thus we have FAR 91.187 requiring equipment outage reports. Related to that, by 1961, the FAA required turbojets to have DME aboard, because with a single VOR, the DC-8's crew was overwhelmed in trying to calculate position manually, given the jet's speed. Later, FAR 91.215 came along�the transponder rule�which owes its origins indirectly to developments following the Park Slope crash. Similarly, the notion of positive control airspace, what we now know as Class A airspace�evolved from the growing reliance on radar separation and secondary radar that Park Slope forced.
When I was an airplane-crazy kid in 1960�just as Stephen Baltz was�I had no clue about any of this. My understanding of it would gel over a lifetime of involvement in flying, instrument instruction and writing about the minutia of how the ATC system works and how it has evolved. Although I was always able to associate a name with the origins of that evolution, I never knew much about the kid I so identified with. Thanks to the Times' story, I do now.

More and more people have this "problem" as time goes on. But think about it... today's society is one of multi-tab browsers, cell phones that do a million things, computers that are capable of running tons of programs at once and all multi-tasking is the norm.
Isn't it beneficial to have a brain that can quickly move from one thing to the next? Isn't that far more useful for operating in today's world than a brain that can only really focus on one thing and has a hard time rapidly switching from one thing to the next?
...yeah with the help of tech.... women are doing multi tasks as it is perceived
I have ADHD, people always says it's a mental condition, but I never thought it was a mental problem and it has never held me back in anyway before and more times than not it has helped me, I have excess energy, I've never had problems switching one task to another or multi-tasking, I also have to keep myself busy with something somewhat interesting or I would become really bored. It seems people who can take can properly take advantage of ADHD can achieve a lot in life. It's possible it could be evolution.
Having ADHD has a whole lot of cons than pro. For starters, you tend to get suicidal, melancholic , extremely short attention span, memory problems, and other problems that my psychologist told me ages ago. Despite the fact that most ADHD sufferers has an above average intelligence, they can't fully utilized their intellect if they tend to get moody all of the sudden.
I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
first off, you should have defined what ADHD first, so that people who are unaware of it can react properly.
anyway, i dont think ADHD has something to do with how people multi-task.
the concept may be the same, but if you look at it deeply, it's totally different.
I'm bad with the English and Japanese language so don't talk to me
I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
I do get pretty moody at times, and I am easy to irritate. I've never had much trouble concentrating on tasks, it's just I get bored easily. There is more than one type of ADHD as well, so symptoms vary from person to person.
I'm bad with the English and Japanese language so don't talk to me
I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
i got adhd. but i smoked pot so i was always chill
I thought adhd people can't concentrate. That would suck if I had it
Curiosity didin't kill no cat, a cat has 9 lives
Evolution is basically a sequence of useful mutations.
So... if it's useful, sure it could be considered that.
Interesting way of looking at it.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have returned from the dead.
I agree. personally I can't begin a discussion without fully understanding the subject in question first. Therefore here's a complete background on ADHD(attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) from the National Instituter of Mental Health: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder/complete-index.shtml

First, let's look at the possibility of adults with ADHD could be better at multitasking due to their symptoms:
So there we have it, the problem with people who have ADHD isn't because they can multitask, but rather is the fact they can't keep track on what they're doing. That's why they'll go from doing one thing then another without them even notice on how and why they're doing it. In a sense, they're so scatterbrained that they don't even know just how scatterbrained they are for themselves.
Can adults have ADHD?
Some children with ADHD continue to have it as adults. And many adults who have the disorder don't know it. They may feel that it is impossible to get organized, stick to a job, or remember and keep appointments. Daily tasks such as getting up in the morning, preparing to leave the house for work, arriving at work on time, and being productive on the job can be especially challenging for adults with ADHD.
These adults may have a history of failure at school, problems at work, or difficult or failed relationships. Many have had multiple traffic accidents. Like teens, adults with ADHD may seem restless and may try to do several things at once, most of them unsuccessfully. They also tend to prefer "quick fixes," rather than taking the steps needed to achieve greater rewards.
However, there are those with ADHD who succeeded in life(http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/754.html). But only because most of them with their inability for risk management, allowed them to get lucky with their risky ideas. While most of them hired people who are more capable with handling details than they do, to work for them at managing their risks. Most of them jumped before they looked, and luckily most of them landed on a market and got to be the first who capitalized it. When most of them still have problems socializing with normal people due to their ADHD/ADD.
I kept saying "most of them", because there were two individuals among them who really stood out to me; the economist Diane Swonk:
And the executive Charles Schwab:
Swonk's struggle with her learning disability has given her a disarming sense of humility. "I know what it's like to be scared when you're crossing the street and to wonder if you're going to be lost once you get to the other side. Or to get behind the wheel of a car and not know if you're going to reach your destination. I have learned to take that in stride."
Swonk believes that humility is a virtue in business. "You never get too far ahead of yourself when you're humble," she explains. "You can be secure, but it's good to keep a clear and open mind about things. My dyslexia probably made me insecure when I was younger, but now it serves as an underlying reminder of my own humility."
His struggle with his learning disability shaped him as an entrepreneur. It taught him humility. "You're never quite certain you've accomplished what you wanted to do. It's wonderful fuel for motivation." It has helped him accomplish some things in his career that he wouldn't have believed possible.
Like economist Diane Swonk, he says, "I found something I was good at and became passionate about it. I also discovered that many skills and talents, in addition to reading ability, are as important in the making of a top executive. Character, ethics, communication skills, consistency, analytical and relationship skills. Those are important for leaders. I have some of those skills, and I work with a lot of great people who bring other strengths and talents to the table."
This is what I find to be important; unlike most successful entrepreneur with ADHD/ADD, these two struggled with overcoming their learning disability. And emerged to be better persons both professionally and socially.
Strong enough for men, made for women. Anything less will be uncivilized.
well i have add which is like adhd with out the hyperactive part
going black friday shopping tonight at 12am wish me luck everyone.

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
The attack on London was a minor conflict that took place on 24 June, 1996, during the Second Wizarding War, in which a small group of Death Eaters led by Fenrir Greyback Apparated into London, stormed into Diagon Alley and destroyed several establishments, and then proceeded to tear the Millennium Bridge down.
The attack
Diagon Alley
On the day of the attack, the Dark Mark appeared over London and, moments later, the small group of Death Eaters stormed through Charing Cross Road and the Leaky Cauldron, and broke into Diagon Alley.[2] For as of yet unknown reasons, they ransacked Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, killing Florean Fortescue himself.[3] They also assaulted Ollivanders and the wandmaker chose to come with them quietly; no signs of struggle were left to be found.[4] Taking stacks of wands to arm their fast growing legions with them, the Death Eaters proceeded to quickly Disapparate.[2]
Millennium Bridge
They Apparated back into Muggle London, heading to Millennium Bridge. They flew around the bridge in a spiral motion to create a twisting and buckling movement on the bridge walkway.[5] The cables snapping, the bridge undulated and twisted intensely, pulling free of its piers, ultimately splitting in half and crashing violently into the Thames below, killing some Muggles who were crossing the bridge at the time.[6]
