Social conservatives' money plans
On a recent snowy day in the Washington suburb of Tysons Corner in Northern Virginia, some of the religious right's wealthiest backers and top operatives gathered at the Ritz-Carlton to plot their entry into the conservative civil war.
Their plan: take a page out of the playbooks of Karl Rove and the Koch brothers by raising millions of dollars, coordinating their political spending and assiduously courting megadonors.
Story Continued Below
Plans in the works range from aggressive super PAC spending in primaries against Republicans deemed squishy on social issues, to holding a donor conference in Normandy, France, tied to the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.
( Also on POLITICO: Conservatives: We're under attack)
It's all geared toward elevating the place of social issues like abortion and gay marriage in conservative politics. They've been largely relegated to the sidelines as the business wing of the GOP establishment wages a bitter and expensive struggle against the tea party for the soul of the Republican Party. The focus has been on fiscal issues such as Obamacare and the budget, while both sides have steered away from social issues they deem too divisive.
The Republican National Committee even issued a post-2012 autopsy report declaring: "When it comes to social issues, the Party must in fact and deed be inclusive and welcoming," lest it turn off young voters and women.
That analysis reflects the perspective of the Republican megadonor class, but not the GOP's base, argued Frank Cannon, who participated in the Ritz summit and runs an outfit called American Principles Project.

"The Manhattan and California zip codes where large numbers of these donors come from don't behave politically or have the same views as Western Ohio," Cannon said in an interview. "So there is a distortion of the political views by the donor class and by the consultant class."
The Ritz summit was intended to help change that. It was organized by the Conservative Action Project, an initiative funded by the secretive Council on National Policy and chaired by former Reagan Attorney General Ed Meese that brings together conservative leaders and donors to try to shape the movement.
The event was by invitation only and was closed to reporters. But POLITICO reviewed an agenda and guest list and staked out an adjacent lobby where participants held informal breakout meetings and munched on a lunch spread featuring soups, salads, and roast turkey sliders with brie, arugula, vine-ripened tomatoes and spicy mustard on pretzel roll buns.
The recent backlash against the tea party in Congress and the public could provide an opening for religious conservative leaders. They believe that, with a few tactical adjustments, they can capitalize on donor dissatisfaction with establishment outfits like Rove's Crossroads and fiscally conservative operations like the one connected to the billionaire industrialist Koch brothers. Between them, the Rove and Koch networks combined to raise an unprecedented $750 million for their 2012 efforts.
( PHOTOS: Senators up for election in 2014)
Socially conservative groups, meanwhile, mostly missed the boat on the explosion in unlimited outside group spending in the post- Citizens United world.
The roughly 25 socially conservative groups represented at the Ritz — including Cannon's, as well as Gary Bauer's American Values outfit, the James Dobson-founded Focus on the Family, Ralph Reed's Faith and Freedom Coalition, Americans United for Life, the Family Research Council and the National Organization for Marriage — combined to pull in at least $280 million in 2011 and 2012, according to publicly available tax and campaign filings. While that's hardly chump change, a majority of it went to groups focused on providing services and "issue education" to like-minded conservatives — including Focus on the Family, which raised $166 million — rather than to more overtly political activities.
"There are enough people out there that are pro-life and pro-family that have the resources to fund political efforts on those issues, and for a variety of reasons they just haven't stepped up and so we have to do a better job of getting them to step up," said Bauer, who's been working with Cannon and others to increase coordination among socially conservative groups. Their leaders, according to Bauer, are increasingly concluding "that we've been behind the curve and that we need to do a better job of strategic fundraising and working together in order to get more traction on these issues."
( PHOTOS: Governors' offices up for grabs in 2014)
That was the subject of an informal strategy session on the sidelines of the Ritz summit including Bauer, South Dakota businessman Bob Fischer, Tennessee donor Joe Gregory, operative Pam Pryor, fundraiser Richard Norman and others. Among the topics discussed was coaxing support from megadonors aligned with the Koch and Rove networks, partly by highlighting the paltry 2012 rate of return of the groups in those networks.
Other ideas included the retreats, which are in some ways patterned off the twice-a-year seminars organized by the Kochs, as well as identifying a handful of key 2014 races where they could have a major impact, which would allow them to raise more in 2016 to back a socially conservative presidential candidate to take on presumed Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
The side session was convened by Fischer, who has been meeting with donors and operatives around Washington pitching planned retreats at the Reagan Ranch in California and in Normandy. Fischer has spoken with several high-ranking retired military officers, including an Army general, about helping to draft a campaign spending strategy that borrows from military tactics, according to sources familiar with the plan, which is still in its formative stages.
Fischer referred questions about his effort to Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, who did not respond to POLITICO's inquiry. But Fischer in his private conversations has singled out the possibility of a long-shot Perkins 2014 Senate candidacy in Louisiana as just the sort of campaign that the new effort could support.
A Perkins campaign would make an interesting test case, since he would be pitted against Rep. Bill Cassidy, who has been singled out as a rising star by Rove's Crossroads groups and is the GOP establishment's choice to take on Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu.
Rove has counseled Republicans to approach cultural issues cautiously, and he attributed social conservative Ken Cuccinelli's recent loss in the Virginia governors' race partly to the " polarizing language and an acerbic tone" he used in addressing those issues. Rove has faced backlash himself from social conservatives for a Crossroads initiative intended to defeat fringe candidates in GOP primaries, and for suggesting that a Republican who favors gay marriage could win the party's 2016 presidential nomination.

BOSTON, Mass.—UMass Boston women's basketball's fearsome duo of Olivia Murphy (Canton, Mass.) and Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.) both registered double-doubles to lead the Beacons (5-1, 1-0 Little East) to a 66-56 win over Keene State College (4-3, 1-1 Little East) Saturday afternoon at the Clark Athletic Center.
The pair finished with a combined 39 points and 22 rebounds to help UMass Boston extend their program-record winning streak over the Owls to three in a row. Coming into last season, Keene State had won four in a row and 32 of the 36 all-time matchups, but the Beacons have now won three in a row and with the win moved into first place in the Little East.
Murphy led the Beacons once again with 27 points and 12 rebounds for her fourth consecutive double-double. while Morrison registered her first double-double of the season with a season-high 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Courtney Roberts led the Owls with 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Christan Wotjas added 14 points, six rebounds and six assists and Kelsey Cognetta added a game-high nine assists to go along with her 11 points.
The Beacons shot 38.0 percent (19-for-50) for the game, while holding the Owls to 31.8 percent (21-for-66) shooting from the floor. UMass Boston also owned a big advantage from the charity stripe, knocking down 24-of-38 attempts, compared to just 7-for-19 from the visitors.
Saturday's game was a back-and-forth affair from the start, with the two teams combining for seven ties and 10 lead changes throughout the afternoon. After a slow first half though, UMass Boston took the lead for good on a Murphy layup at 17:41 of the second half.
Keene State held a slight edge in the first half, taking a 31-30 lead into the break, after leading by as many as seven (11-4) early in the half.
After a Roberts layup on the first possession of the second half made it 33-30 in favor of the Owls, UMass Boston went on a game-changing 10-0 run to take control for good.
Starting center Brittany Moore (Billerica, Mass.) started the flurry with a layup and Murphy added a made free throw and a layup to give the Beacons a lead at 35-33. Suffredini made it 38-33 when she knocked down one of the Beacons' four 3-pointers on the day and Murphy capped off the run with a layup to push the score to 40-33 at 15:45.
The Owls wouldn't go away though, as they cut it to a one-possession game on three occasions, including making it 52-49 with 3:46 to go on a 3-point play from Cognetta.
UMass Boston had one more big run in them, as the Beacons reeled off nine straight points to make it 60-49 with 1:51 to go. The run was a team effort, as Murphy, Elisa Ogawa (Yamanashi, Japan) and Morrison all chipped in with multiple points.
The Beacons iced the game by making 4-of-6 free throws down the stretch to extend their winning streak to four in a row.
UMass Boston will look to make it five in a row on Thursday when they travel to Westfield State University for a 7 p.m. contest.

Since it seems that there are still so many MOTU fans who find the less Orko in their MOTU the better & others who outright despise him with every ounce of their being, I was curious as to how the ranks of He-Man.org feel about this divisive character(or at least "the ranks" who vote in this poll).
Do You Like Orko???
Personally, I not only LOVE the character, he's in my Top 5 MOTU Heroes.

Just received a news release from CU that former Buff men's basketball player Dwight Thorne has signed to play this upcoming season for a pro team in Germany, BG Karlsruhe.
Good for him. I'll remember Dwight as one of the classiest college athletes that I ever covered.
He was great with the media and even better with teammates and coaches. When freshman sensation Alec Burks took away Thorne's starting job and playing time last season, Dwight, a senior, never complained.
I'll also remember Dwight for working hard at becoming a good outside shooter, which he did.
And I'll remember him for being the only member of the self-named "Young Guns" recruiting class to survive the coaching change from Ricardo Patton to Jeff Bzdelik.
Thorne also attended to his studies. He graduated in May with a degree in business management and an emphasis in marketing.
I lived in Germany for a year and had a blast. Hopefully someday we can share some stories.

The last leg of West Coast and Southbound road trip brings us to Busselton, the home of IRONMAN Western Australia, where we met up with the Busselton Triathlon Club.
We tagged along to one of their morning rides on the #IMWA bike course and were greeted with incredible conditions. Some of the crew from the Busso Tri Club spoke to us about the spirit of their club, what it means to be involved and how joining a club like this can really motivate anyone to get out and enjoy their community.
Thanks so much for having us along for the ride Western Australia you've been incredible!

The NBA is locking out its players until a new collective bargaining agreement can be reached, the second American pro sports league to be shut down by labor strife.
The lockout will commence at 12:01 EDT Friday, after the expiration of the current deal that owners say has cost them millions of dollars a year.
"We had a great year in terms of the appreciation of our fans for our game. It just wasn't a profitable one for the owners, and it wasn't one that many of the smaller market teams particularly enjoyed or felt included in," Commissioner David Stern said. "The goal here has been to make the league profitable and to have a league where all 30 teams can compete."
The long-expected lockout could put the 2011-12 season in jeopardy and comes as the NFL is trying to end its own work stoppage that began in March.
"The expiring collective bargaining agreement created a broken system that produced huge financial losses for our teams," Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement.
Despite a three-hour meeting Thursday and a final proposal from the players — which NBA leaders said would have raised average player salaries to $7 million in the sixth year of the deal — the sides could not close the enormous gulf between their positions.
"The problem is that there's such a gap in terms of the numbers, where they are and where we are, and we just can't find any way to bridge that gap," union chief Billy Hunter said.
All league business is officially on hold, starting with the free agency period that would have opened Friday. And teams will be prohibited from having any contact with their players.
The last lockout reduced the 1998-99 season to just a 50-game schedule, the only time the NBA missed games for a work stoppage. Hunter said it's too early to be concerned about that.
"I hope it doesn't come down to that," he said. "Obviously, the clock is now running with regard to whether or not there will or will be a loss of games, and so I'm hoping that over the next month or so that there will be sort of a softening on their side and maybe we have to soften our position as well."
Owners want to reduce the players' guarantee of 57 percent of basketball revenue and weren't interested in the players' offer to drop it to 54.3 percent — though players said that would have cut their salaries by $500 million over five years.
They sparred over the league's characterization of its "flex" salary cap proposal — players considered it a hard cap, which they oppose — and any chance of a last-minute deal was quickly lost Thursday when league officials said the union's move was in the wrong direction financially.
"I don't think we're closer; in fact it worries me that we're not closer. We have a huge philosophical divide," Stern said.
The NBA's summer league in Las Vegas already has been canceled, preseason games in Europe were never scheduled, and players might have to decide if they want to risk playing in this summer's Olympic qualifying tournaments without the NBA's help in securing insurance in case of injury.
The players' association seems unlikely, at least for now, to follow the NFL Players' Association model by decertifying and taking the battle into the court system, instead choosing to continue negotiations.
"We'll just continue to ask our fans to stick with us and remain patient with us. As players we want to play. That's who we are; we're basketball players," Lakers guard and union president Derek Fisher said. "Right now we're faced with dealing with the business aspect of our game. We're going to do it the same way we play basketball. We're going to work hard. We're going to be focused. We're going to be dedicated to getting the results that we want."
The NBA projected $300 million in losses this season and said it lost hundreds of millions in every season of this CBA, ratified in 2005. League officials said 22 of the 30 teams would lose money.
But owners took a hard-line stance from the start, with their initial proposal in 2010 calling for the institution of a hard salary cap system, along with massive reductions in contract lengths and elimination in contract guarantees. Though the proposal was withdrawn after a contentious meeting with players at the 2010 All-Star weekend, the league never moved from its wish list until recently.
About 90 percent of NBA players get paid from Nov. 15 through April 30, so they won't be missing checks for a while. But Stern has warned that the offers only get worse once a lockout starts, so the league could try to push through elements of its original proposal when bargaining resumes.
Like with the NFL lockout, NBA players won't be the only ones affected. Employees of teams and the league also face a very uncertain future. Stern admitted all options would be considered, including furloughs for his employees.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Chinese players Li Na and Peng Shuai reached unprecedented heights in the WTA rankings in Monday's update.
Li moves from third to No. 2 in the rankings and is the first Chinese player to reach that high in singles. Peng goes from third to No. 1 in WTA doubles, another first for a Chinese player.
Li is 13-1 this year, winning titles at Shenzhen, China, and the Australian Open before a quarterfinal loss last week at Doha. She was assured of moving to No. 2, however, when Victoria Azarenka withdrew from the Doha event.
Peng is 9-1 in doubles matches, with wins at Pattaya City, Thailand (with Zhang Shuai) and, while teaming with Hsieh Su-Wei for the title at Qatar.
Hsieh is second in the doubles rankings. Former No. 1 Roberta Vinci and Sara Errani drop to sixth.
Azarenka's missing the Qatar Open because of injury cost her two places in the rankings, as she slips to fourth with Agnieszka Radwanska going from fourth to No. 3 in addition to Li's move to No. 2.
Errani falls from seventh to 10th in the singles ranking, allowing No. 7 Jelena Jankovic, eighth-ranked Angelique Kerber and No. 9 Simona Halep to move up one spot each.
The ranking for Halep represents a career high. She beat Kerber in Sunday's final of the Qatar Total Open. It was her seventh WTA title, all of which have come since last June 15.
World No. 1 Serena Williams, a late wild-card entry, returns to the court at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. She missed the Qatar Open because of a back injury.
Adding her to the field gives Dubai seven Top 10 players, with Radwanska seeded second.
The WTA Top 10 listing player's name, home country and rankings points:
1. Serena Williams, United States, 12,380
2. Li Na, China, 6,690
3. Agnieszka Radwanska, Poland, 5,705
4. Victoria Azarenka, Belarus, 5,681
5. Maria Sharapova, Russia, 5,206
6. Petra Kvitova, Czech Republic, 4,710
7. Jelena Jankovic, Serbia, 4,535
8. Angelique Kerber, Germany, 4,490

- A modern sans serif typeface inspired by the historic geometric's of the 1920's, specifically Futura. The design is not a simple pastiche of what went before this is much more than that. It is a close investigation to how Futura inspired other type designs like Avenir and helped push the boundary of what is a modern typeface of its generation. In 2016, Halcom earned a Silver Award in the International Typography competition by HiiiBrand. Overlaying perfect geometric shapes careful adjustment is made for each character and each corner to a point of balance between pure mathematics and optical correctness. The result is a distinctively modern geometric font family that is strikingly simple in design yet perfectly pleasing to the readers eye. Details include 550 characters with an alternative lowercase a, g and y, five variations of numerals, manually edited kerning and Opentype features.

Certain cars carry the weight of history and must be conceived with a sense of purpose that honors their heritage yet elevates the brand and moves it forward. They're halos and at the same time standard-bearers. A Jaguar coupe is the epitome of such an automobile, and on Tuesday, the latest in the lineage was revealed: the 2012 C-X16 concept.
The C-X16 debuts in the flesh at the Frankfurt motor show next week, and this car is Jag's vision for the future, signaling a dramatic style and a potent hybrid powertrain. It's a design study, punctuated by a range of technologies.
"For me, this is the most exciting car we've done to date," Jaguar's design director Ian Callum said.
The C-X16 is marked by a long hood with the wheels pushed out to the corners. There are three so-called "heartlines" which form the silhouette. The aluminum body is designed for maximum torsional rigidity, and it has a 50-50 weight distribution. It rolls on 22-inch alloy wheels, set beneath fenders that give the appearance of haunches. It's not the next E-type, but the Jag designer is OK if you think you see that in the curves.
"It's very much a part of our heritage with the rise of the lines over the wheels," Callum said.
Though the wrapping is striking, what lurks underhood is also a harbinger of Jaguar's potential hybrid prowess. The concept employs a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 pushing out 375 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. That works with an electric motor that makes 94 hp and 173 lb-ft of torque, available with the push of a button on the steering wheel. The eight-speed transmission has stop/start and kinetic-energy-recovery systems.
All of this allows the car to sprint to 62 mph in 4.4 seconds en route to a top speed of 186 mph.
Jag dubs it a 1+1 coupe, but in reality, it's simply a two-seat configuration. The cabin has extensive red materials, a twin-dial instrument panel, leather and Alcantara fabric. Carbon fiber and dark chrome are among the accents.
This concept is meant to surprise and seduce. The $6 million question is, will Jaguar build it?
Callum says it's feasible, but no confirmation is evident. "It wouldn't be too much of a trial to turn it into a production car," he said. "I think it would be a fabulous production car. I hope we do it."

Shōji Hamada
Japanese, 1894–1978
Unomi teabowl, 1966
8.1 x 7.9 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mrs. A.E. Deacon
Following his ceramic studies at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Shōji Hamada met British ceramist Bernard Leach. He spent three years (1920–1923) working with Leach in St. Ives, Cornwall, England, where they established the Leach Pottery. Hamada's approach to ceramics—rooted in the Japanese folk tradition and combining natural, organic sensibilities—produced straightforward vessel forms, decorated quite simply with earthy glazes and loose, spontaneous brushwork. These three Japanese teabowls or unomi are characteristic of his work: solid, unassuming, and enlivened by passages of stylized calligraphic decoration. Hamada was an important mentor for the British studio pottery movement, and later in North America. Honoured with the designation of Living National Treasure in Japan in 1955, recognizing him as a keeper of Japanese culture, he continues to be seen as one of the crucial forerunners of the international studio pottery movement.

The Future of Neurotheology
From Andrew Newberg, director of research at the Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals:
In my latest book, Principles of Neurotheology, I try to espouse a set of principles that might help guide the neurological study of religious and spiritual experiences moving forward. The goal is to address the philosophical, theological, and scientific issues related to this field. The question is, what will the future of neurotheology look like? What might neurotheology accomplish in the next five, 10, or even 50 years?
Neurotheology is still very early in its development. Truly combining neuroscience with religious and spiritual phenomena was only possible with the advent of modern brain imaging techniques. Before the development of these techniques, the rudiments of neurotheology were developed based primarily on animal models and speculation. Today, we have begun to uncover substantial information regarding the relationship between the human brain and religious and spiritual practices and experiences
In the next five years, neurotheology will likely continue to advance our understanding of how the brain is associated with religious and spiritual phenomena. Most likely, the brain imaging studies that have become an important aspect of neurotheology will continue to expand. There are many types of practices and experiences that remain to be evaluated using brain imaging techniques. Traditions might be compared, as well as the wide variety of practices within each tradition. Imaging studies, along with other clinical studies, will help us better understand not only what happens in the brain at the time of a particular practice, such as meditation or prayer, but also how such practices affect us over time. Already, we understand that practices like meditation and prayer can lower anxiety and depression, and even help the brain remember better. Such improvements are associated with long-term changes in the brain's function. Thus, religion, spirituality, and God all can change your brain.
In addition to what we know about general brain function, future studies in the next five to 10 years will hopefully evaluate how a variety of neurotransmitter systems relate to religious and spiritual phenomena. Several early studies suggest that both dopamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are associated with practices like meditation. This is interesting since dopamine is associated with the reward system, movement, and memory. GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, perhaps related to blissful experiences, that helps shut the mind down. But other neurotransmitters may be involved in complex interactions during religious and spiritual practices.
It may be that in the next 10 years, we can begin working toward what might be called a "religionome." In this context, a religionome would be an attempt at cataloguing every different type of religious and spiritual practice and experience across all people, cultures, and traditions. This would integrate both subjective experiences, doctrinal and theological concepts, health-related components, and physiology in an overall evaluation of how human beings are religious and spiritual. This would also require an understanding of the differences between those who are religious or spiritual and those who are atheist or agnostic. In addition, neurotheology must help us try to understand when religious and spiritual beliefs turn negative, leading to hatred, violence, and terrorism.
In the far future, neurotheology could open up some fascinating possibilities. Since practices like meditation result in altered states of consciousness, neurotheology may help us understand the nature of consciousness and how it relates to the material world. Perhaps we might better understand how our consciousness affects ourselves and the world around us. Neurotheology may help us fully realize our religious or spiritual potential, finding the most effective ways of optimizing this part of ourselves and hopefully contributing to a more compassionate and understanding period of human existence. And it has always been my hope that a neurotheological approach might yield answers to some of the greatest questions in human history: Why are we here? Why is there something rather than nothing? What is the true nature of reality?
While these questions may seem impossible to address, I would argue that the best attempt requires an approach that integrates the best we can derive from science and the best we can derive from religious, spiritual, and philosophical pursuits. Will neurotheology lead humanity toward a new enlightenment? Only time will tell.

She's back!
Well...she was back.
Kim Kardashian West resurfaced on social media Monday, for the first time since she was robbed October 3 in Paris, sharing three posts on Facebook, People Magazine reported.
One post was a photo, captioned "Downtime #LumeeCollab" depicting the reality star lounging with her appeared to be her 2011 Blackberry. It was eventually deleted. A link to her blog was also posted and deleted. The third post, last-minute Halloween costume ideas, written by her personal assistant Stephanie Sheppard, was posted and deleted as well.
Kardashian West had been off of social media for nearly a month, even having her assistant update her paid phone app.
During an appearance on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show," Kardashian West's sister Khloe said that the robbery had been "a wake up call to make a lot of life adjustments" for the entire family.

'No vacancy' for political Web ads
The Internet seems endless — like an infinite universe of gigabytes for tweets, Facebook photos and kitten videos.
But for one key commodity — political advertising — the Web is about to run out of room, at least on the popular video sites that campaigns in some swing states care about most.
Story Continued Below
And that's got ad buyers for campaigns fretting the way they used to about TV and radio space: Whoever snaps up those last few prime-time spots in the final weeks of the campaign shuts the other guy out.
Search ads and display ads are more plentiful and are still available to campaigns. The ads in question are those 15- and 30-second spots that automatically play before videos on YouTube, Yahoo, AOL and other sites — and they're either sold out in some markets or will be auctioned off at record prices, insiders tell POLITICO.
"There has been incredibly strong demand for online video advertising inventory in targeted states, so there is virtually no 30-second inventory left for the fall," said Rob Saliterman, head of Republican advertising outreach for Google, which owns YouTube. Campaigns are "buying it up for September and October and the first week of November."
Kari Chisholm of Mandate Media feels the pain in Nevada, where the firm is handling online strategy for Democrat John Oceguera's bid to unseat Republican Rep. Joe Heck. Oceguera's campaign has not reserved any of these prime-time online ads, known as "pre-roll," because it didn't know about the shortage, Chisholm said.
"It's a fairly narrow audience, and we're all trying to run through the same door at the same time," said Chisholm, who was unaware that Google allowed reserved buys.
Las Vegas is a key market in Nevada, where a close U.S. Senate race and two competitive House races are competing for Internet ad time with the presidential campaigns. Super PACs, along with the campaigns of President Barack Obama and GOP hopeful Mitt Romney, long ago snapped up most of the available fall online pre-roll.
Space is limited because YouTube and other Web video providers, including Yahoo and AOL, enable advertisers to place spots to target potential voters either by category — news or politics, for example — or by ZIP code, meaning that the most desirable categories or geographic locations go quickly.
The sites estimate how many plays — or "impressions" in ad speak — they expect for videos viewed by the desirable demographics.
Advertisers, then, can buy those spaces ahead of time. Whatever's left is sold as it becomes available in real time and, thus, becomes exponentially more expensive.
By late October, consultants predict, available space could cost more than $50 per 1,000 impressions, three times the norm, in battleground states like Florida, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia.
Whatever wasn't bought by the super PACs and the national campaigns in Nevada was reserved by the Senate campaigns. Ron Steslow, digital strategist for Republican Sen. Dean Heller, who faces Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.), started buying pre-roll for the fall in March.
"Even then, a lot of the inventory was eaten up, but we got what we wanted," said Steslow, whose firm Soapbox Strategic encountered similar issues buying pre-roll for Republican candidates targeted in Wisconsin recall elections. "There wasn't a whole lot left in Nevada after we were done, though, and especially not in the demographics everyone wants."

Software Features Enhanced Barcode Reading Capabilities
PPT Vision announces its 8.5 release of Impact software, which reads three times more barcodes than the previous version, providing an ideal solution for a wide range of machine vision applications.
IMPACT 8.5 software reads ECC 200 DataMatrix 2D barcodes in addition to these 16 standard 1D barcodes:
Code 128
Code 39 Full ASCII
GS1 Databar Omnidirectional (RSS)
Interleaved 2 of 5
GS1 Databar Limited (RSS)
Code 39
GS1 Databar Expanded (RSS)
The 2D and 1D barcode readers are part of a palette of over 120 tools in Impact's VPM (Vision Program Manager) inspection builder software. This icon-driven software allows any model Impact smart camera to be configured for a custom inspection with no knowledge of programming language text—e.g. C++ or .NET. The IMPACT software suite also includes CPM (Control Panel Manger), customizable HMI (Human Machine Interface) control software. CPM can easily be configured to prominently display decoded information from 2D and 1D barcode and OCR reader tools.
Impact smart cameras can output decoded data from Barcodes and OCR through either its Serial or Ethernet port. Ethernet data can be configured to populate standard Ethernet I/P or Modbus I/P registers or embedded into custom Windows machine or plant environments using Impact's ActiveX control.
The full Impact software suite is programmed identically on all 21 Impact Intelligent Camera models. Impact smart cameras are available in self-contained A-Series and T-Series smart cameras or in tethered-camera C-Series models with the highest performance, most flexibility and most outputs. From standard VGA resolution up to mega pixel 1600 x 1200 in both grayscale and color, Impact smart cameras offer the optimal inspection performance at a competitive price point.

In this paper we are interested in an algebraic specification language that (1) allowsfor sufficient expessiveness, (2) admits a well-defined semantics, and (3) allows for formalproofs. To that end we study clausal specifications over built-in algebras. To keep thingssimple, we consider built-in algebras only that are given as the initial model of a Hornclause specification. On top of this Horn clause specification new operators are (partially)defined by positive/negative conditional equations. In the first part of the paper wedefine three types of semantics for such a hierarchical specification: model-theoretic,operational, and rewrite-based semantics. We show that all these semantics coincide,provided some restrictions are met. We associate a distinguished algebra A spec to ahierachical specification spec. This algebra is initial in the class of all models of spec.In the second part of the paper we study how to prove a theorem (a clause) valid in thedistinguished algebra A spec . We first present an abstract framework for inductive theoremprovers. Then we instantiate this framework for proving inductive validity. Finally wegive some examples to show how concrete proofs are carried out.This report was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, SFB 314 (D4-Projekt)
Following Buchberger's approach to computing a Gröbner basis of a poly-nomial ideal in polynomial rings, a completion procedure for finitely generatedright ideals in Z[H] is given, where H is an ordered monoid presented by a finite,convergent semi - Thue system (Sigma; T ). Taking a finite set F ' Z[H] we get a(possibly infinite) basis of the right ideal generated by F , such that using thisbasis we have unique normal forms for all p 2 Z[H] (especially the normal formis 0 in case p is an element of the right ideal generated by F ). As the orderingand multiplication on H need not be compatible, reduction has to be definedcarefully in order to make it Noetherian. Further we no longer have p Delta x ! p 0for p 2 Z[H]; x 2 H. Similar to Buchberger's s - polynomials, confluence criteriaare developed and a completion procedure is given. In case T = ; or (Sigma; T ) is aconvergent, 2 - monadic presentation of a group providing inverses of length 1 forthe generators or (Sigma; T ) is a convergent presentation of a commutative monoid ,termination can be shown. So in this cases finitely generated right ideals admitfinite Gröbner bases. The connection to the subgroup problem is discussed.

not touch (someone or something) with a ten-foot pole(redirected from not touch me with a ten-foot pole)
not touch (someone or something) with a ten-foot pole
To not do or be involved with something at all; to refuse to get close to something. Although his twin brother absolutely loves sushi, Bobby will not touch it with a 10-foot pole.
not touch someone or something with a ten-foot pole
Cliché not to have anything to do with someone or something. (Always negative.) No, I won't hire Fred. I wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole. I wouldn't touch that job with a ten-foot pole.
not touch with a ten-foot pole
Stay far away from, avoid completely, as in Ronald wouldn't touch raw oysters with a ten-foot pole. This expression dates from the mid-1700s, when it began to replace the earlier not to be handled with a pair of tongs. In the 1800s barge-pole was sometimes substituted for ten-foot pole, but that variant has died out.

Tour gets underway again tonight after the Curse of the Manics in America strikes again...
Manic Street Preachers are a Welsh rock band who released their debut album 'Generation Terrorists' in 1992 and their most recent album, 'Futurology', in July 2014. The group originally consisted of James Dean Bradfield (lead vocals and guitar), Nicky Wire (bass guitar, lyrics), Sean Moore (drums) and Richey Edwards (rhythm guitar, lyrics). However, Edwards went missing in February 1995 and the remaining members have continued as a trio since.
The band, who are commonly referred to as The Manics, formed in Oakdale Comprehensive School, South Wales in 1986. In 1990 they released their four-track EP, 'New Art Riot', and then signed a deal with Heavenly Records to release their single 'Motown Junk'. Shortly afterwards, during an interview with NME's Steve Lamacq, Edwards responded to questions about the band's sincerity by carving the phrase '4REAL' into his arm with a razor blade; he was treated in hospital and received 17 stitches.
The Manics signed with Columbia Records to release their debut album 'Generation Terrorists': the band themselves claimed that the LP would be the "greatest rock album ever" and sell 16 million copies worldwide. Instead, the album sold an estimated 250,000 copies around the world upon its release and peaked at Number 13 on the UK Albums Chart, but it was given a 10/10 review by NME who declared it "nothing short of a modern miracle". It has since been described by NME as the 18th greatest debut album in the past 50 years.
The band's second album, 'Gold Against The Soul', was released in 1993, while their career-defining masterpiece 'The Holy Bible' followed in 1994. NME have described the album, which unflinchingly explores Edwards' emotional and mental struggles at the time, as a "work of genuine genius" and the 44th Greatest Album Of All Time. The album, however, also reflected on Edwards' continued problems: by early 1994 he had been admitted to The Priory mental health hospital.
On February 1, 1995, Edwards disappeared: he checked out of the Embassy Hotel in London at 7am and his car was later found abandoned service station near the Severn Bridge. He has not been since and was declared presumed dead on November 23, 2008, by his family. After his disappearance the band considered disbanding but later decided to carry on, although they have kept a percentage of their royalties aside should he ever return.
The band's fourth album, 'Everything Must Go', is considered one of their most triumphant: recorded in the wake of Edwards' disappearance, it was released in 1996 and became a critical and commercial success, partly due to the popularity of the single 'A Design For Life'. The band continued their success with their next album, 'This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours', which was similarly well-received upon its 1998 release.
Since then, the band have released the albums 'Know Your Enemy' (2001), 'Lifeblood' (2004) and 'Send Away The Tigers' (2007). Their 2009 album 'Journal For Plague Lovers', meanwhile, featured lyrics left behind by Edwards before his disappearance, and they released another album, 'Postcards From A Young Man', in 2010.
In 2013, Manic Street Preachers released their album 'Rewind The Film': a sparser, more acoustic-based record that received a 7/10 review from NME. Less than a year later they released 'Futurology', a more experimental and expansive record which has been hailed as one of their finest yet and received an 8/10 review in NME.
In 2008, the Manic Street Preachers received the Godlike Genius Award at the NME Awards.

Sen. Warner to offer bill to update and improve reporting requirements.
As it promised in President Obama's budget submission last February, the Office of Management and Budget on Tuesday posted a list of agency reports considered outdated or duplicative.
The list of 376 at 29 agencies was posted on the newly expanded Performance.gov website and fulfills a requirement of the 2010 Government Performance and Results Modernization Act.
On Wednesday, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., welcomed the list in a statement saying he would work with OMB on legislation to "eliminate or modify these unnecessary reporting requirements."
Warner noted that "over the years, federal agencies have been instructed to expend considerable staff time and other resources producing thousands of reports, yet we never look back to see if these reporting requirements might be outdated, duplicative, or even relevant. If these reports are sitting on a shelf collecting dust, then it's time for them to go."

I needed a day at the playa so we headed to a local man-made lake in the mountains. It isn't the ocean, but it's close enough. I took off my chanclas and put my feet in the sand for awhile. Later I helped the kids in their impossible attempts to catch the quick fish that swim in the waters there. I found that if one stands still, the little fish kiss your toes, (which, for a girl like me, raised in chlorinated swimming pools, leads to screaming and running back to shore.)
The bath house was a very old building. I thought the lights and other fixtures were charming. I think I'd like to remodel our baños to look like this some day.
Carlos didn't swim with us, instead he had his eye on the paddle boats on the other side of the lake.
If you need an activity to build cooperation in your family – take a paddle boat ride, en serio. For the first 5 minutes we argued with each other about paddling forward versus backwards, paddling fast or paddling slow, moving the rudder to the left or right, and which direction we should go in. We went in circles and almost ran ashore until we finally found a rhythm, worked together, and had some fun.
After paddle boats we checked out this picnic shelter on our way back to the car. On the ceiling, people had written their names in charcoal. Carlos picked up a piece and wrote something too.
Did you ever have one of those days that, as it's happening, you realize you're going to remember it even when you're very old and wrinkled? Today was one of those days.

Grilling Steaks Recipes
New York Steak with Maple and Riesling Wine
When you have a cut of meat that has character such a New York Strip steaks, the preparation is kept to a minimum. Last night, I seasoned the steaks with salt and pepper and seared them to have crisp, crunchy edges. I then transferred them to the oven to bring them to perfect, medium-rare, beautifully juicy meat. Once out of the oven, I improvised a sauce.
The idea behind the sauce was to balance out the saltiness of the dish with sweet notes. To do so, I used Vermont maple syrup Sunny's college roommate gave us (she's from the East Coast) and paired it with sweet Riesling.

Lamb Sirloin Steak Recipe
One of Papa's favorite meats is lamb. This morning, my husband Lulu and I left early and went to the open air "Les Sablons" market in Neuilly-sur-Seine, in a suburb of Paris. It's a small market but it holds a lot of delicious treasures. I bought two beautiful lamb sirloin steaks and we headed home right away, so I could prepare lunch for my parents.
The cut of meat is so fresh, no marinating time is necessary. The main preparation consists of searing all sides then finishing the cooking in the oven. I got a little distracted and waited a bit too long to take a photo right after slicing the meat. Ordinarily, the color of the meat should look a touch pinker!

Ginger Citrus Rib-Eye Steak Soft Tacos (Steak Taco Recipe)
My husband Lulu is a huge 49ers fan. Being French, I've had to start from scratch and learn a lot about American football. I've actually started enjoying watching the games, though I wish they wouldn't hit each other so hard! We watched the incredible playoff game last weekend and Lulu was screaming for joy when Alex Smith connected with Vernon Davis for the winning touchdown. The 49ers face the New York Giants in the NFC Championship this weekend, and Lulu is looking forward to watching the Niners advance to the Super Bowl.
We're having some people over to watch the game, so I created a meal that would fit the party, but with my own personal touch. For the main course, I made small plates of rib-eye steak soft tacos. To start, I seared the steaks after applying a ginger citrus rub. Once the steaks have a good crust, I glazed the meat with a spicy peach chutney. The soft tacos itself is layered with peach chutney, pickled mushrooms, sliced beef steak, shrimp and sour cream. The flavors were amazing and making this dish gave me plenty of ideas for what to serve for the Super Bowl when Lulu has all his buddies (and wives) over. I'll share some of the dishes I come up with over the next couple of weeks.
I used La Cense Beef in this dish, and if you want to recreate it for your own Super Bowl party, La Cense is offering a special deal to Pham Fatale readers. You can get $20 off 8 10-ounce Ribeye Steaks, plus 1 lb of free meatballs, all with free shipping ($157.48)! If that's too much meat for you, La Cense is also offering $10 off 4 10-ounce Ribeye Steaks ($71.24). La Cense Beef is 100% grass fed, with no hormones or antibiotics. I've had the privilege of trying their Prime Rib Roast as well as the Ribeye, and the flavor is out of this world. It's truly nothing like the beef you get from your local supermarket. So if you're planning to do something special for the Super Bowl, or if you just want to have a really nice steak dinner, definitely take advantage of this deal.

Vietnamese-Style Beef Salad Recipe
Though I live in a house full of vegetarians, once in a while, I enjoy a tender and juicy steak. I've been getting the urge lately, so I bought a sirloin steak to satisfy my cravings. This time around I marinated it in an Asian-inspired sweet and savory sauce. I combined sugar, coriander, chiles, soy sauce, garlic, lime juice; the ingredients are very common in Vietnamese cuisine.
The meat doesn't require a long marinating time, which I love. A quick sear and you'll have a perfectly juicy steak. I let the meat cool to temperature, then slice it into long strips against the grain, so the meat remains tender. The beef is scattered over a bed of mixed Vietnamese mint, cilantro and lettuce leaves, along with a bowl of rice vermicelli noodles, bean sprouts, shredded cucumber and pickled carrots and daikon. My condiment of choice though: nước mắm (Vietnamese fish sauce). It may not be on your list, but it's one of my favorites. No matter what you serve with this steak though, you will have a delicious meal!

Grilled Sirloin Steak Recipe
When you have a good quality cut of beef, such as sirloin steak (called faux-filet or entrecôte in French), you don't want to overpower the flavor of the meat. That goal is accomplished in this recipe by keeping the prep work simple. I season the steaks with pepper, garlic and thyme. C'est tout! ("That's it"). The steaks are seared and grilled to create a crust, and then they're transferred to the oven to bring them to a perfect medium-rare. Once out of the oven, finish the meat with a sprinkling of sea salt. I wait to add the salt till after the beef is cooked so it doesn't draw moisture out of the meat.
I live in a house full of vegetarians, so I haven't had a tender, juicy steak in a while. It was quite a treat to be able to go to the store and get some premium cuts of beef (entrecôte) to make this dish. Good quality meat should be red and shiny, and the texture should be firm and elastic, with a very subtle scent. I found a couple of nice steaks and had fun cooking them up with my little munchkin, who is the only other meat eater in our house. She approved, and I imagine that if you make this dish in your home, your family will as well.

Thru-Axle Rear 10x135mm Disc Hub
Some things in life never get old. Every time we drive across Kansas and get to the front range, the striking views of the Rocky Mountains make us giddy and ready for adventure. Every time we lace up a new Chris King hub, we marvel at the jewel-like perfection of the anodized finish. If we had blue hubs on our bikes, we might feel the need to have some red or green or whatever we had in our hands at the moment.
The Chris King 10x135mm Rear Thru-Axle Hub will fit any bike with standard 135mm dropout spacing -- cross-country bikes, trail bikes, all-mountain bikes, etc. The difference between this hub and their standard 135mm ISO Disc hub is the absence the use of a quick release skewer. The 10x135mm Thru-Axle hub uses just that -- a 10mm thru-axle to clamp the rear hub into the frame. It is a great choice for full suspension frames because it will add stiffness and rigidity to a rear triangle full of articulating pivot points. What you will get from this is more precise rear wheel tracking over nasty terrain and a side benefit of less flex is longer pivot life.
- A pristine hub crafted with Chris King's attention to detail
- Accommodates any steed with 135-millimeter dropouts
- Thru-Axle stiffen the rear end for a more controlled ride
- Precise tracking keeps you in control in wily terrain
- Jewel-toned options keep your steed looking fresh
- Quick hub engagement for speedy power when you put the hammer down

Is this hub compatible to swap out an XD...
Is this hub compatible to swap out an XD Driveshell if one wanted to run 1X11 speed rear hub? I'm assuming this hub is 9/10 speed. let me know. thanks.
Hey Null,
This hub can be changed over to an XX1 compatible hub. You'll just need to use this part, CKG000D, and a link to it: http://www.competitivecyclist.com/chris-king-iso-xd-driveshell.
If there is anything else you need please let us know.

Gerard Butler hasn't had to apologize for starting sexy rumors over the summer that he was getting it on with his "The Bounty" co-star, Jennifer Aniston.
"She has the best sense of humor," Gerard told Access Hollywood'sShaun Robinson on Tuesday at the junket for his new film, "Law Abiding Citizen."

In July, when asked to clear up the rumors he was dating Jennifer, the Scotsman told Shaun, "No, we're not. We're just f***ing!" (Click HERE to view that clip)
And on Tuesday, Gerard said Jennifer wasn't offended in the slightest by his remark.

"She totally gets it," he told Shaun. "She just did a press junket for her movie and she said she was asked the same question the whole time and she was like, 'Well I'm going to keep you guys guessing.' She has fun with it too."
While the rumors are bound to start up again when "The Bounty" hits theaters in 2010, Gerard is presently focusing on his newest project, the thriller "Law Abiding Citizen," with Jamie Foxx, which hits theaters on October 16.
"[It has] a little bit of blood, a lot of suspense and a lot of shocking moments, and that's what we were really aiming for in this movie," Gerard, who not only stars, but is a producer of the film, said. "But [the blood is] never gratuitous. It really always comes out of the story and out [the] character and it leaves you, like even now talking about it, I'm like on the edge of my seat."

My good friend Jen lives outside the 275 loop - the horror! But there are a few hidden gems up there that I'm glad she's open my eyes to and I found a new one recently - Bruno's Pizza!
For all you Miami grads - you're saying - um duh - we know this already! But hey - Bruno's (originally in Oxford) has now expanded to West Chester and I'm glad they did. It's in a strip mall and I literally missed it when I drove past...
Not a great picture - sorry about the flash - but there's nothing more fun than walking in the front door and seeing a pizza tosser!
Jen told me we had to try the Bruno Dough ($6). It's fried dough tossed in butter, garlic and parmesan. Oh yeah - that sounds awesome! It was good - completely unhealthy for you - but damn good!
We got a large pizza and I honestly can't remember what the heck was on it! Jen's a vegetarian and Larry's a meatatarian - so I'm guessing a 1/2 and 1/2.
Although I can't tell you what was on it - I can tell you what I thought of it. I LOVED IT!
The sauce, the cheese, the crust - all of it. It is my new favorite pizza by far!!! There was a lot of cheese and it melted just right so you can tell it's good cheese - not the cheap crap. The toppings were fresh and tasty. The sauce wasn't bitter or sweet - it was just perfect. Really - this is my favorite pizza now!
Actually - I gotta figure out when we're going back - I'm hungry!
Why Should You Go? It's new, locally-owned and great pizza! The atmosphere is nice too. And the price is pretty average for good pizza. More than Dominos - but it actually tastes good!

Violence & sex assault summit at Smith
By Matt Caron
Friday, September 20, 2013
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (WWLP) - Activists, advocates and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault assembled at Smith College in Northampton today. It was an all-day summit.
The goal was to strengthen the support system for victims looking to recover from domestic violence and sexual assault, with a specific focus on economic security.
Funded through federal grant money, more than 120 people from anti-violence and anti-poverty organizations throughout rural western Massachusetts came together at the Smith College Conference Center.
They exchanged ideas, tried to strengthen a victim's support system, and put a special focus on a survivor's financial stability.
"Financial abuse is a real thing and it's part of the picture of domestic violence. When someone intentionally puts credit in someone's name of steals their identity or controls all the finances. All of those things can be categorized under financial abuse and there's long-term implications for that," said Marianne Winter, the Executive Director of Safe Passage in Northampton.
Advocates told 22News that financial abuse can often trap victims into making them feel like there's no way to break the cycle.
"Lack of transportation. Lack of affordable childcare. Lack of affordable housing. Lack of jobs that provide benefits. There's a great deal of things that people whose lives have been shattered and are trying to rebuild them, need," said Becca Bradburd, an Economic Security Consultant.
Cynda Pinto is a survivor of Domestic Violence. She's been through these struggles, and has some words of advice for other victims.
"Don't ever think that he's going to change. Because he won't. Don't ever accept it as being a one time thing, because it will happen again and to really love yourself before anyone else, because if you love yourself you won't let anyone mistreat you," said Pinto.
Friday's conference wrapped up at 4:00PM. Organizers told 22News they'll take what they learned, and put it into practice to help victims stop the cycle of abuse.
