Skip to comments.AZ-Sen. 2010: McCain to hold town hall meetings this weekend (as he refuses to debate J.D.)
Posted on 05/14/2010 8:22:14 AM PDT by rabscuttle385
PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona Sen. John McCain is holding town hall meetings in the West Valley this weekend.
The first town hall will be at the Goodyear Justice Center at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
The second will be at Sun City West at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
(Excerpt) Read more at kswt.com ...
Sounds like JD needs to show up at one.
I would love to see JD show up and start asking McAztlan some questions!
Sure hope JD deep sixes this Rhino!
You know there are three republicans running in the primary for this seat right?
Why can't Hayworth debate the other guy instead?
Well, Juan, now that you've become one of the toughest border enforcement advocates in US history, do you any circumstance in the future where you'd again support a pathway to citizenship for the 15 - 20 million illegal aliens in the US?
Not sure JD should show up, but some of his most determined supporters definitely should.
What a coward.
Why is Juan hiding from JD like a scared rabbit? JD just made the same debate proposal to Juan that Juan once made Obama.
I just find it kinda weird that Hayworth isn't pushing to debate both Deakin and McCain? Do you believe that's fair to Deakin?
" I would love to see JD show up and start asking McAztlan some questions!"
He SHOULD show up....
" MR. mCCAIN WHY ARE YOU HIDING FROM ME? "
Let me get this straight... McCain refused to debate Hayworth??? Why????
I don't know anything about Deakin. I'd say if he has a reasonable level of support (10% - 15% or more), then he should be included in any debates. But if he's just a dreamer with practically zero chance of winning, then he shouldn't be included. - That's roughly how most debate participants are usually included or excluded.
Because McAztlan knows he'd get beat like a drum with a picture of a red-headed stepchild on it?
"AZ-Sen. 2010: McCain to hold town hall meetings this weekend (as he refuses to debate J.D.)"
J.D. should go to one.
>>> Because McAztlan knows he'd get beat like a drum with a picture of a red-headed stepchild on it?
Well why doesn't JD just round up a bunch of video on McCain's attempts to get Obama to debate???
Didn't McCain use Obama's debate evasion to his advantage?
JD should shove it right back in his face.
"Why cant Hayworth debate the other guy instead?"
Who is the other guy?
Thats' why.
hope Hayworth seeds them with questioners.
Because they don't want to legitimize JD's campaign by accepting a debate invite. Dem's do the same thing as well. SOP for the old school, out of touch politicians.
Supposedly Deakin's campaign said he submitted enough signatures to qualify for the ballot. Deakin should be allowed to any debate for the seat.
I think it's because Juan is being such a total hypocrite and liar on the border issue, going from one of the biggest amnesty advocates in the country to pretending that he's now all for tough border enforcement and won't even talk about amnesty.
JD could nail him to the wall in public on that and other issues if they debated. That's why Juan won't debate unless he later calculates that his refusal to debate is hurting him worse than a debate would.
The wheels of the Jivetalk Express keep right on turning...
Town Halls ain't gonna cut it, John!....
The rino stands in a town hall packed with his own supporters?.....No dice!
Not unless the opinion polls show he has some decent level of support. It's become common practice to exclude minor candidates who only have support in the single digits from most debates. It's a waste of time to allow people in who have no support, and no chance of winning.
Why not? It worked at CPAC in 2008.
Great example of democracy at work eh?
A long, hot summer for John McCain.
Yes, it sure is. Democracy gives the vote to citizens of the required age, and it also requires that candidates win the approval and support of the voters. If a candidate doesn't have some minimal level of support when they qualify to be on a ballot, they shouldn't be treated as if they actually have significant support among the voters when it comes to debates and media coverage.
Do you also think all candidates should receive the same amount of media coverage? Maybe laws to require that?
Mark Levin hit the point yesterday...he called McCain Nixonian.
PLEASE ARIZONA!!! Get rid of this carbuncle!
Listen Up! Great New Tune!
Flush the John! McCains Got to Go!
Nah, refusing to debate is the smartest thing he's done since accidentally bringing Palin on board.
The trailing or weaker candidate is always the one demanding debates. The leading candidate has little to gain and everything to lose.
And in McCain's case, a record he's running from like a scalded dog. And he sure doesn't want a public debate with radio and TV coverage where a strong challenger would point out his long list of flip/flops and election year conversions and attacks of amnesia.
And I'd say McCain is definitely a political coward. Debates between the leading candidates have become pretty standard part of the political scene for statewide and nationwide races. McCain is hiding from his record, and doesn't want it discussed before a large, statewide audience.
If I could go to one of those 'town hall' meetings I'd bring a pair of flip-flops with me and bang 'em together at all of McLame's applause lines.
I doubt McCain is ashamed of his record nor is he hiding from it.
IMO he's playing strategy, nothing more, nothing less.
I wouldn't expect any candidate with a 20 point lead to accept a debate, let alone one with a slim lead and facing a lot of anti incumbent sentiment.
Of course the challenger calls it cowardice...until he's the entrenched incumbent! LOL
"I doubt McCain is ashamed of his record nor is he hiding from it."
I never said he's ashamed of it. He might be (privately) proud of it, but he's definitely hiding from it. He's so serious about hiding from it that he's abandoning much of it and doing a major flip/flop and pretending to be for tough border enforcement.
He's actually trying to make much of his past record on immigration disappear from the voters. And that's why he's a coward and refuses to debate JD so far. JD will bring his record out into the open before a major audience of the voters.
New to the local talk radio station, KTAR 92.3FM, Bruce St.James has been all over the flip flopping McCain all week. Tune in between 9-12 Arizona Time. Bruce is right on!
We need to put our money where our mouth is ... Please donate to JD.Hayworth! www.jdforsenate.com . Every buck counts and is greatly needed to defeat McAmnesty!
"New to the local talk radio station, KTAR 92.3FM, Bruce St.James has been all over the flip flopping McCain all week. Tune in between 9-12 Arizona Time. Bruce is right on!"
Thanks. Another great one is Terry Anderson. He really gets after McLiar. Join us for his live threads every Sunday night.
Great & all too true little ditty introduced on Terry's show.
Flush the John! McCains Got to Go!
Learn to read so that you don't look like such a knee jerk moron.
McCain isn't the type of man to be ashamed of what he did when he thought he was right.
At this point I'm sure that he knows what he's done is unpopular and not winning him any votes, but based on years of him proudly going against the flow when it didn't cost him anything, he isn't ashamed of anything, just pragmatic about finding a way to win or keep from losing.
If you think McCain has shame like normal people then you don't know anything about him at all.
Anyone who can turn his back on POWs and their families like he did can have no shame.
Your post to me is nonsensical. I certainly never said McCain was ashamed of anything. I said the opposite. You just had some things you wanted to say, but they certainly are not responsive to my post.
He SHOULD show up....
MR. McCAIN WHY ARE YOU HIDING FROM ME?
I absolutely love it! But, it very likely will not happen.

The Cisco Unity Message Repository (UMR), built into Cisco Unity 3.x, allows outside callers to leave messages for users when their primary exchange server is offline. Messages are temporarily stored in SQL and can be accessed via a special UMR conversation from within SQL. When the primary exchange server comes back online, Cisco Unity passes the messages onto the correct message store. For additional information, refer to Cisco Unity: Defining the Unity Message Repository.
Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:
Familiarity with Cisco Unity: Defining the Unity Message Repository
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
Cisco Unity for Exchange versions 3.1x and later
Note: In Cisco Unity 4.x, Cisco Unity will automatically boot in UMR Mode if Exchange is unavailable. There are no configuration changes needed in Cisco Unity 4.x.
Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.
When the primary exchange server is offline, you may need to start Cisco Unity in UMR mode, bypassing a connection to the Exchange private information store on startup. This document explains how to do this.
Note: Please note that this solution is intended as a temporary solution only. Cisco Unity upgrades should never be performed when Cisco Unity is running in UMR mode and is not attached to the primary Exchange server.
The following solution provides information on how to start Cisco Unity in UMR mode if the primary exchange server is unavailable. The following registry keys must be edited/added in order. Depending on the version of Cisco Unity, some keys will not exist and will need to be created.
Caution: Incorrect use of Registry Editor can cause serious problems that may require you to re-install your operating system. Cisco cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. For information about how to use Registry Editor, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.
Follow the steps below:
Open the registry on the Cisco Unity Server.
Go to HKLM > Software > Active Voice > AvWm > 1.00 and add a new DWORD key called "All Servers Down" and set its value to 1.
Go to HKLM > Software > Active Voice > Doh > 1.00 and edit the LogonDefault value to be 3 instead of the default of 7.
This forces Cisco Unity to not try to connect to the messaging service.
Go to HKLM > Software > Active Voice > UnityUMR > 1.00 and add a new DWORD key called "EmulateExDown" and set its value to 1.
Reboot the Cisco Unity Server.
Cisco Unity will now come up in UMR mode. When the Exchange server is once again available, you will need to undo the changes made in steps 2 – 4 and reboot the Cisco Unity server.

^ Their chakra can probably regenerate infinitely, but they have a limited capacity and recover it after most, if not all, is used up. For example, let's say Tsukikage's most destructive dust jutsu, cost him 51% of his chakra, so the moment he split in to two, he couldn't use it anymore as he can't hold more than half of his original capacity.
Someone already pointed that possibility anyway.

July 20, 2013
CHICAGO – Governor Pat Quinn today signed a new law to help ensure that all dogs in Illinois are treated humanely when tethered outside. The new law is part of Governor Quinn's commitment to protect pets and ensure that all animals in Illinois are treated ethically and responsibly.
"One of the joys and privileges of being a dog owner is the unconditional love and comfort these animals bring to our lives," Governor Quinn said. "As any pet owner knows, dogs become part of our families. This new law will crack down on the mistreatment of animals in Illinois and make sure our pets receive the same love and care they give us."
Sponsored by State Representative Dan Burke (D-Chicago) and State Senator Linda Holmes (D-Aurora), House Bill 83 adds comprehensive requirements to the Humane Care for Animals Act for lawfully tethering a dog. If a person is found violating these restrictions, they may face up to six months in prison.
In order to lawfully tether a dog at a residence or business, an owner must protect their dog by making sure it is not tethered in a manner that will allow it to reach within the property of another person, a public walkway or a road, The animal must also be tethered in a manner that will prevent it from becoming entangled with other tethered dogs.
The leash used to tether a dog must be at least 10 feet long, when rounded to the nearest whole foot, and must not exceed one-eighth of the dog's body weight. A person must also make sure the dog does not suffer from a condition that is known by the owner to be exacerbated by tethering, and they are prohibited from tethering their dog with tow or log chains.
The new law also clarifies that individuals will be subject to up to six months of imprisonment if they fail to provide sufficient food and water, adequate shelter, veterinary care, and humane care and treatment. A second violation will lead to up to three years in prison.
The law is effective Jan. 1.

Can the Flames just opt out of their remaining games with Dallas? If there's an NHL rule that prohibits forfeit, we, as fans, should be hard at work finding ways to circumvent it.
That, for those scoring at home, is two games against the Stars this year that have yielded putrid performances. While the Flames' playoff spot atop the Northwest is hardly tenuous (10 points with a game in hand over the Canucks), this isn't the type of tone they should be looking to set on the road, and it's also why Darryl Sutter had a closed-door meeting with his team that hopefully included a wallpaper-peeling tirade and the throwing of several thousand dollars' worth of equipment.
Someone's got to scare some life into this team. They're starting to show signs of being not unlike the Jim Playfair-era Flames, and that's about as bad a thing as the human mind can imagine.
The Good
- Mike Cammalleri got back on the scoresheet after one game off with an early power play goal that was his team-leading 26th of the year. He is also tied for the league lead in power play goals at 13. Because I don't live in Alberta and had to suffer through the game on Center Ice (no soothing sounds of Peter Loubardias for me) and listen to the Dallas announcers conclude that Cammalleri's only having such a good year because everyone's so worried about Jarome Iginla and Dion Phaneuf. Here's a hint: I wouldn't be worried about Dion Phaneuf at this point.
- For the second night in a row, Miikka Kiprusoff wasn't the problem even though he took the loss. The goals he gave up were a tip, a rebound and nice play on a tip, and a nice little goal from Brad Richards on which he had no chance. He made 29 saves on 32 shots, and with the way the defense has been playing in front of him and allowing shots from high-percentage areas, that's about all you can expect from the poor guy. He made several grade-A saves to keep the score respectable.
- At least now the boys get a few days off, right? RIGHT!?
The Bad
- Dustin Boyd probably had the chance of the night late in the second period. Marty Turco had dropped his stick and Boyd jammed at a loose puck that had popped out of the scrum. But Turco reached across his body and made a great glove save. That missed opportunity (not that it's Boyd's fault) pretty much guaranteed there was no way the Flames were winning this one.
- Calgary plays Dallas two more times this year. Yuck.
- The Flames are now 1-5-0 in the second game of back-to-backs, all of which have been played on the road. The only win was against the Wild, and even that was in overtime, so the team still gave away points to a division rival. They've also only picked up the front end of a back-to-back three out of six times. The Flames have 12 games remaining on back-to-back days, including all of the final six games of the season. Jesus Christ.
The Ugly
- The Pardy/Phaneuf pairing was brutal once again last night. While only Phaneuf was on the ice for Dallas' two power play goals, Pardy's side of the ice was being attacked every shift he took, and he was getting spun like a top as a consequence. He was in way over his head and Phaneuf hasn't exactly been the kinda guy that can bail out a struggling pairing mate.
- Dallas, whose power play was 25th in the league at 16.6 percent coming into the night, scored twice on five power plays. That's not good, is it?
- Calgary is now 1-8-2 in their last 11 at American Airlines Center. And they have another game there this year. Fun! The Flames are also now a .500 team on the road, going 11-11-4, and have lost four of their last five away from Calgary. Both the Canucks and Oilers, by contrast, have winning road records.
I would add Bertuzzi to the bad/ugly column. In fact, if there was an "anti-star of the game" (Blackhole?) to be given out, I'd hand it him. He was awful...
- Two penalties. One in the neutral zone, the other in offensive zone. A goal was scored during his first 2 mins and the Richards goal was scored immediately after the second 2mins. - Floated on the back-check all night.
- Lots of give-aways, including that terrible one on the PP near the end of the game.
- His butter-soft board-work, leading to the Richards goal.
Agh knew I had forgot something. Yes, he was quite awful.

Ooh ooh! That Wanye Gretz calls it the first worst star. We should co-opt it down here and pretend it is our own idea.
He looked terrible
@ merzer131: Nah, "Anti-Star of the Game" ASG is more clever in my humble opinion.

Sometimes you name a Goat at the start of the NHL season. Sometimes that Goat gets traded. Sometimes you are happy.
On what has been a pretty unevenful Trade Deadline day so far, the Oilers traded "Edmonton's Fanciest Shoe Wearer 2006-2012" to the Minnesota Wild for Defenceman Nick Schultz.
Gilbert's reaction to the trade can be seen in the clip above gripped from the Oilers website.
People will come along soon enough with quality analysis debating the merits of trading Tom Gilbert - arguably an offensive defenseman - for a defensive defenseman in Schultz.
But in the mean time let us all scream and yell like only Oilers fans on Trade Deadline Day can.
Good article. Well written.
Call me if he ADDED a defenceman or goalie. Gilbert has been bar none the best D-man on the squad this year. A lttle grit is good but I thinknwe lost this one. Unless the D on the farm are good enough to replace pretty boy's puck moving (I say no) I think this is more change for the sake of change.
February 27 2012, 05:47PM
I would have offered Minny Peckham + Chorney/Plante + 4th rounder maybe a littel more. The only way I would have moved Gilbert is for a much better Defenseman even if you did have to add more than just Gilbert, this just doesn't make the team any better.
So, you would have traded Minnesota parts that can't/won't play on a 29th/30th place team for a legit NHL defensive dman?
Oh yeah, I see general managers JUMPING at your trades.
Bad trade.
Schultz is -10 on a defensive team, Gilbert is -3 on the 29th place team. Gilbert also can put up the occassional point.
Unless there is a follow-up trade coming this spring/summer, I don't think this improves the oilers at all.
February 27 2012, 08:45PM
I am okay with this trade provided Schultz can make a pass out of his own zone. We don't need a defenseman that rushes the puck. Just get it out of the zone and to one of your own players.
As much as I have always been a Smid supporter I think he has actually regressed this year when it comes to managing the puck. He is better away from it no doubt but watching him give it away time after time is getting frustrating. Has he been taught this year that any time you get the puck just try and chip it out of the zone? I swear it seems to be that's all he does. Chip it in to the corner, chip it off the boards or chip it to center.
Am I the only one that sees this?
February 27 2012, 09:57PM
Those thinking this has not made the team better need to give their head a shake. Gilbert is good... has played well this season. But we had 4 puck moving dmen. Only smid and sutton were stay at home guys. Ideally you should have one of each per pairing. I think this works for both teams. Oil didn't miss a beat tonight on the road against a playoff hungry team. They will be fine.
February 27 2012, 10:22PM
I don't disagree that this may be a positive move for the Oilers, bringing better balance to our back end.
However given the value placed on puck moving defencemen I'm surprised that the Oilers didn't get more for Gilbert.
Finally my concern is that I don't think Schultz is going to be a difference maker. How much better will the Oilers D really be with him instead of Gilbert? And how much of the Oilers defensive problems have to do with the blue? As I see it the problem is team defence moreso than a weak blue line.
I'll reserve judgement until the summer as I suspect this is step one to reforging the Oilers blue.
February 27 2012, 11:08PM
The Oilers now have one less guy that gives the puck away all the time. That in it self will make them better, hopefully Schultz won't do that so much. Granted this won't make for a play off run, but I also think the play of Petry made Gilbert expendable, and we have lots of kids coming up the pipe so I do not think he will be missed much in Oil town. But do wish him luck in his home town... good guy and deserves the best.
Holy crap the only time I hear anything good about a player is when they get booted and then its like everybody starts crying about what a brilliant guy we just lost...I remember the absolute moaning from people when they dumped that lard ass Penner....Gilbert was a so-so marshmellow defenceman who did not play the PP or barely the PK ...WTF?? he was a a 29th place teams 4th defenceman so get over it.
February 28 2012, 11:12AM
Schultz also on a team that can't score with a mediocre line mate too

Everyone is insane, some just show it more than others
Gintama is great... Welcome to the site.... I also dislike Maruto ^^b
Hope you enjoy it here.
Heehheeheheheheheh! XD
*crickets chirp*
....Private joke, sorry... o.O
I love living in Japan too, though sometimes I wish I was closer to the Tokyo area. I've only been to Tokyo twice for a month and a bit, so I only got to go to Akihabara and Nakano Broadway a few times, which I really regret. T_T
No, I don't translate any...I thought of doing it, but I doubt my japanese ability is good enough I can translate some of the discussions in manga- which can range from alchemy to magic and other complicated subjects... I wouldn't mind cleaning or proof-reading though one day!
*waggles eyebrows in a mysterious and not at all creepy way*
Let's get this party started.
Heya, Welcome to Mangashare, enjoy your time around
Why don't more people read these mangas?
^Birthday Sig & Ava from Mikessc88 <3 v Birthday Sig from Imotochan <3Lords of the Boredom Zone: Arhazivory Redsquirrel and Crossx21
Now, you, my new friend, are one great member! You have a nice introduction and I like you already^^
I hope to see you around alot^^
Have fun around^^
And... I'd like to know some more... Basic and boring stuff about you^^
What's your favourite color? Type of music? Interests? This one is random, but I'd like to know your favourite letter(well, why not?)^^
I didn't ask too much questions... That's good^^
Enjoy your time here^^
Zetsuboushita|ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH! «°-°«
You're ruining my secret identity! *shakes fist*
...I swear though if anyone mentions the word "struth" I will not be responsible for my actions... *eye twitch*
Akihabara is just a... jumble of mainly electrical goods shops, but it's so much more. It's like Otakunerdville. Game shops, maid cafes, you name it.
While Nakano Broadway is basically one big building absoloutely packed full of shops with figurines, gashpon, anime and manga merch, even a few shops devoted to "doushin" (or is it doujin? You know, fan's manga) and Idol merchandise.
I nearly died of happiness overload. ^^
If you like Anime and manga, I would really reccomend you go there one day.
Let's get this party started.
Yarrr, hello!
You too seem like a bundle of laughs. ^^
(Just one question- what's with the onion thingies?)
Um, okay, I guess I'm kind of a hard to please person, as I don't really have a favourite color. I do like blue, purple, and silver though!
My music tastes are...I'm not big on rap/metal/or basically anything that's usually very popular on the radio for a short time...
I'm addicted to Jrock. As for bands I like BEAT CRUSADERS, The Fratellis, and Matchbox 20, as well as a little Within Temptation/Oranga Range/The Stand Up/Home Made Kazoku. I don't mind listening to oldish stuff either, like Kiss or ACDC.
I don't really like Alice cooper, who my mum adores. He creeps me out.
Favourite letter...well, never really thought about it. Probably X, because it's so easy to write!
My interests are writing, sleeping, studying languages, eating, playing pool, being an Otaku, bad indian films with hilarious english subtitles, true crime and criminal psychology, stalking random people*wink wink*, and just basically living! (Living is always good. ^^)
Not really interested in the make-up or the clothes shopping... or maths.
Yoroshiku, ne!

Singer Sam Harris :: Putting his talent to good use
It seems implausible to think it has been almost three decades since the incomparable singer, Broadway star, and television producer Sam Harris first became a household name after becoming the first Grand Prize winner on the television reality talent show pioneer "Star Search."
What was once a new phenomenon to find new talent in the areas of singing, acting and modeling with "Star Search" is now almost one of the few ways we find our new stars of today. But what may separates Sam Harris from those that have and will follow his accent to stardom and acclaim is that he is a pioneer and reliable trailblazer when it comes to giving of his celebrity, talent and time to bringing awareness to the need to create a world of equality for the gay community, and to end the AIDS epidemic.
Harris' appearance and upcoming performance at this year's Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation's Annual benefit and gala "Help Is On The Way" in San Francisco on August 5, 2012 is a prime example of his unwavering policy to be present when needed and when he can for these causes. With memorable performances on and off- Broadway, millions of records sold around the world, and stage productions developed that ensure that we will continue to have honest and poignant pieces of work to see for several years ahead, Harris seems to find a balance with all this in his life.
I had the privilege to speak with the versatile talent prior to his City by the Bay visit and we managed to cover over 40 years of his life from the beginning in a little town in Oklahoma where he didn't seem to fit, to the present where he is in a place that just seems to fit him just fine.
Outrageous debut
BeBe: You know you and I are from the same generation, and I am one of millions of people who was introduced to you through Ed McMahon's 'Star Search.' I can remember admiring your talent so much back then.
Sam Harris: Thank you. That means so much!
BeBe: At that point in time, I don't think the public had really seen anyone such as you (gets a little giggle from Sam). I mean you came out to the stage as 'you.' I remember the outrageous costumes and those coattails you would wear. And, then (you) proceeded to belt out a song in a manner that I don't think we had really seen or heard before coming from a male artist, a white artist singing the style that you sang. It was great to see the appreciation the audience bestowed upon you.
Sam Harris: I was really grateful and lucky to have that platform at that age. As far as style and all that, I think when you're that young, there is a sort of wonderful thing such as 'this is who I am' and I'm just going to put it out there and not think too much. It's not so much brave as it is honest. There was nothing to lose!
Music more homogenized
BeBe: It's amazing that was almost 30 years ago. And now, unlike then, talent shows are a dime a dozen. Which is great. I'm not knocking that, but they are a bit different than the platform you performed under. I think 'American Idol' is probably the closest to 'Star Search.'
Sam Harris: Certainly, and it is definitely flicker now. There is a homogenization now. It's interesting with 'American Idol' you'll notice the people that win are usually sort of the ones that fit in the easiest. And then there are some of the ones that don't win that go on to have successful, original careers because they were different. They were original.
BeBe: That's a good observation and great commentary. I was going to mention just that, that there have been fewer winners from 'American Idol' that have gone on to what we would call major success than some of the non winners. There have been several losers who have gone on to have very successful careers, Jennifer Hudson being one of them (Academy Award and Grammy winner).
Sam Harris: However it works, winning or not, the great thing about it is that there is a platform for young talent to be seen and have that opportunity. And also now, not only do we have 'American Idol,' 'The Voice,' 'America's Got Talent,' and all these other shows, but we also have the internet.
There are so many people through their own self-promotion that have become visible on YouTube. It's extraordinary that we are in a time now where people can be seen and make their own records, even, because of technology. It's a completely different world. But the basis of it is still the same. People with a drive, a talent, an ambition and a focus...there will always be room for those people, right?
Quite the misfit
BeBe: Speaking of drive, talent and ambition, I know that you left home at an early age to pursue your dream, so to speak. And I wondered after knowing that, if you felt the need to leave home? Was there little support for you in your dream from your family?
Sam Harris: There were two things. I grew up in a very small town in Oklahoma which wasn't exactly the mecca of show business. Part of it (the reason) was I went away for a summer job at a theme park, and was all of sudden for the first time with more like-minded people who were also talented, focused and had a vision.
The other part of it was personally, because growing up in a small Bible-belt town in Oklahoma, I was always quite the misfit. So once I got a taste that there were others like me, not only who were talented and had a dream for show business, but also other people who were gay, it gave me a sense of freedom. But at the same time, even though I was with other people like me, no one talked about it. There was still this cloak of secrecy around everything, but there was still this commonality in which you still found familiar.
So, I came back (home) for a short time, and then left again to not return. I'm so enormously grateful that my parents were supportive from the very beginning, I mean from the time I was really a very little kid like five. My father was a band director, and my mother loved the theater, so I was introduced to it (early). As soon as they saw that I found my means of expression, which was also my means of escape, they supported it. So by the time I was fifteen, I think they were petrified of letting go and letting their child be what he needed to be, but they recognized I needed something larger. So, I went with their support.
BeBe: That is a story that you don't hear of a lot, as far as, the positive support surrounding why someone leaves home at an early age.
Sam Harris: Right, I didn't leave because I was kicked out. I left because I was able to.
Motown influence
BeBe: Well, we are all aware that you went on to do 'Star Search' which led to a successful recording career. Interestingly enough, your first recording contract was with Motown, which of course is the premiere black artist label. And knowing that, I know you must have been offered contracts by many other recording labels after your win on 'Star Search,' so why choose Motown?
Sam Harris: Why? I think it was because I had been so influenced by Motown's artists and their history. And like you said, I was on 'Star Search' and I was this white boy with this blue-eyed soul style. And, I believed that Motown would recognize it (my style), and they did. But I wanted to be a part of that history. And, I also wanted to be the different one, and be the white kid on the black label. In retrospect, there were many other offers, but who really ever knows?
Because if I had put myself under the tutelage of like Clive Davis (Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick) who was a master, my fear at the time was that I wouldn't have a voice. You know, I did go on stage on 'Star Search' with oversized tails and Converse tennis shoes, and I was afraid I'd be stripped of that. I knew Motown would sort of let me be that. Whoever knows? You make the choices you make at the time, and move forward.
BeBe: While on 'Star Search' you were able to present to the audience your workings of a ballad and gospel type song which led the way for your rendition of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' to become your signature song. I've asked many performing artists about performing such a song of theirs, so I'll ask you, during the course of your performing in concert halls and the like over your career, do you ever or have you ever had any pressure to have to perform that song when you may not want to, but you know the audience is expecting it?
Sam Harris: I think I went through a period where that was true. And there was even a period where I sometimes didn't do it. But, I have since gone past that. I'm so grateful for that song because there are worst songs to get stuck with (both laugh). It is the greatest song! You know, it's great that I can make some pretty notes now and then, but I consider myself a storyteller. And when you have great material, it constantly reinvents itself. It means different things at different times.
That song has been celebratory for me. It has been desperate for me. It has been from a place of need, and also from a place of reflection. That song has been a place of hope. It's been reflective of wherever I am at that point in my life. Instead of resenting it, I get to rediscover it.
Liza's blessing
BeBe: And your rendition of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' has been compared to Patti LaBelle's version of the song....
Sam Harris: (interjecting) Well, sure. I lifted it from her basically, and put my own spin on it.
BeBe: Have you and Patti had conversation about the song?
Sam Harris: We've sung it together. I wouldn't say we have had a conversation, but she is right up there, and I consider her a friend. She is an amazing artist, an incredible performer. But rather than her being angry that this young kid was taking the style of what she was doing, I think she saw it as respectful.
BeBe: They always say the biggest compliment is emulation!
Sam Harris: Exactly! And, Jesus! God, knows so many people have done 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' over the years that it doesn't belong to anyone. And Patti didn't originate it either. It's a Judy Garland song.
It's for whomever wants to sing it. I'm grateful that it's mine. And for not being able to have Judy's blessing, Liza (Minnelli) loves it and considers my version the only other version, and that means a lot to me.
A Broadway performer
BeBe: Earlier in our conversation, you spoke about storytelling. We are definitely aware of the success you have received of the storytelling in the songs on your 9 albums you've recorded, selling millions of copies around the world, but you have also received much acclaim and acknowledgment for your ability to tell stories in your writing for stage. And,you have also written about some very social conscious issues in your original songs.
Sam Harris: Well, thank you.
BeBe: When you add all that up, put all that together, I would think most people would consider you more of a Broadway or off-Broadway storytelling performer, rather than a recording artist, wouldn't you say?
Sam Harris: I would say so, too. And I think that is because you make records because you want to document, and you want to create in a controlled and isolated circumstance in which you can release something that reflects you. But, where I live is on the stage! That's where I get to have a singular moment that is not confined to one time.
Everytime you perform, it is different, it changes. There is something about live performance that makes it my first love. Although whatever I'm doing, I love. If I'm making a record, that's what I love the most. If I'm making a TV show and I'm not singing, that's my first love at the time. I really do pour myself into whatever it is I'm doing at the moment.
Liz's encouragement
BeBe: You know as people think about the fight for civil rights in the gay community, and the fight to find a cure for AIDS and to bring awareness to HIV, we sometimes forget about those who were true pioneers, celebrities or persons with a public name that could bring attention to these causes. And, you were one of those first celebrities to lend themselves to the AIDS causes, as I understand it, through the encouragement of Elizabeth Taylor.
Sam Harris: Yes, when the very first ETAF (Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation) event was being formed, I got a call from her (Taylor). I didn't even believe it was her. I picked up the phone, and she said,'Sam Harris, this is Elizabeth Taylor.' And, I said, 'Stop! It is not. What are you talking about?' (draws a laugh from us both) She had to put her marketing and publicist person on the phone to say it was really her. And she asked me to perform, and I said 'yes' immediately.
And, then she told me I was the first person to say 'yes.' That even though she was Elizabeth Taylor, and even though this was something that was happening and a hot bed of controversy, a lot of people were saying 'no.' I really didn't understand that. So, I said yes, and then the event went on to have a lot of wonderful performers. I think Cher was in the first one, Rod Stewart and Cyndi Lauper. It was quite magnificent!
BeBe: That brings us to your upcoming visit to San Francisco to be apart of the Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation's Annual Help Is On The Way event occurring on August 5th. These types of things have always received your acceptance upon being invited to participate as a performer over the years, but have you, with your highly rated production ability, ever considered putting together an event such as this one yourself and reaching out to your fellow celebrities?
Sam Harris: Wow, that's an interesting question. I have never done that. (After some pause) Wow! (We roar)
I tell you what, I say 'yes' whenever I can, certainly for AIDS which I have done hundreds of benefits and collected money all over the country on tour, and then certainly for equal rights, but there are also other things that are important to me.
I have to keep a balance sometimes. I've done six benefits in the last month and a half! But it is my policy to say 'yes' when I can, because whenever I get out of touch of being of service, then I'm in trouble.
Autobiography in the works
BeBe: Speaking of balancing everything, you have a current project in development. Are you working on some sort of television show.
Sam Harris: (Without being specific) I have a couple of shows in development for television that I'm very excited about. One is scripted, and one is reality TV. There is also a project I've been involved with off and on for years about Al Jolson that is nearest and dearest to my stage heart. The greatest role for me, for a man, ever. It (the role) is the Mama Rose ('Gypsy') for men. A dark, investigatory, sort of psychological unraveling of this iconic man who has never been really portrayed, I believe, truthfully. It's just a great, great piece, and is coming up. And I'm also writing a book!
BeBe: Wow! (my turn to wow)
Sam Harris: I am a crazy reader. I love words. I love punctuation (laughs). And, I love writing. Writing a book has always been that sort of ominous thing out there like 'Oh, My God someone wrote a book' because it's giant in what it takes.
BeBe: I am assuming this is autobiographical?
Sam Harris: It is. It's anecdotal. It's autobiographical. It's quite a process to delve, uncover and relive. You know, in my stage shows I talk quite a bit, and writing comedy and finding the sense of the absurd in everything is something I first learned as a survival tool when I was young, but (it) has given me a perspective that has really given me a sense of happiness and comfort. So, that's really the overview in the book, too. It's anecdotal and very honest, but it's also ridiculous.
There you have it. Anecdotal. Honest. Ridiculous. Sam Harris.
Sam Harris will be joining Helen Reddy, "American Idol's" Kimberley Locke, versatile star Loretta Divine, and a host of others in Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation's "Help Is On The Way" Benefit Show and Gala on August 5 in San Francisco at the Herbst Theater.
For updated performance dates and other Sam Harris projects, visit his website Sam Harris's website.
As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" (Australian Film Festival, San Francisco Short Film Fest) also adding additional vocals to the musical soundtrack. Both of these performances led to her selection for a lead role in Aisha Media's next short film series, "Con-tin.u.um" to be released in 2012.

In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at its principal office or at the office or agency designated by the Company as provided herein, (i) a written notice of Holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased, and (ii) payment of the Warrant Price as provided herein. Such notice shall be irrevocable and substantially in the form of the subscription form appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder (a) a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as hereinafter provided, and (b) an Additional Warrant to acquire up to 0.35 shares of Common Stock for each Warrant Stock purchased herein. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the Holder shall reasonably request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or if permitted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date when the notice, together with the payment of the Warrant Price and this Warrant, is received by the Company as described above. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Stock, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder.
Payment of the Warrant Price may be made at the option of the Holder by: (i) certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, or (ii) wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Company. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued and, upon payment of the Warrant Price, shall be fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to any preemptive rights.
2.2 Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder of one or more Warrants, the rights under which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise multiplied by such fraction.
2.3 Restrictions on Exercise Amount . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The Holder may waive the limitations set forth herein by sixty-one (61) days written notice to the Corporation.
3. Transfer, Division and Combination .
3.1 Transfer . The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall be freely transferable, subject to compliance with this Section 3.1 and all applicable laws, including, but not limited to the Securities Act. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant or the resale of the Warrant Stock, this Warrant or the Warrant Stock, as applicable, shall not be registered for resale under the Securities Act, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock as the case may be, at the cost of Holder or transferee, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state law, except if such transfer is to an Affiliate of such Holder; (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment representation letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto; and (iii) that the transferee be an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501 (a) promulgated under the Securities Act. Transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1 or the office or agency designated by the Company as provided herein, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Following a transfer that complies with the requirements of this Section 3.1, the Warrant may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock regardless of whether the Company issued or registered a new Warrant on the books of the Company. In connection with any transfer of this Warrant or the resale of the Warrant Stock pursuant to Rule 144 or other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Holder or transferee shall compensate the Company for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with effectuating such transfer or resale.
3.2 Restrictive Legends . Each certificate for Warrant Stock initially issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and each certificate for Warrant Stock issued to any subsequent transferee of any such certificate, unless, in each case, such Warrant Stock is eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144(k) or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, shall bear the following legend:
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at DTC, if (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act, (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), (iii) such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Commission). Following the Effective Date or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for certain Shares, the Company will no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to effect the reissuance and/or transfer and an opinion of Investor's counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company), issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions and cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section
The Company shall facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Warrant Stock to be sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by applicable law and this Warrant, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Warrant Stock to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holder may request at least five (5) business days prior to any sale of the Warrant Stock.
3.3 Division and Combination; Expenses; Books . This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 3.1 as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at Holder's expense the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3. The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
3.4 In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate representing Warrant Shares by the third Trading Day after exercise of this Warrant in full compliance with Section 2.1, and if after such third Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In" ), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price" ), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Price on the date of the event giving rise to the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate.
3.5 The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares and the Additional Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
3.6 Charges, Taxes and Expenses .

The Heisman Trophy winner for this college football season seemingly was determined in December 2011 when quarterback Matt Barkley decided to return to Southern California. But things didn't work out for Barkley or USC, and he won't even be in New York as a finalist.
HEISMAN: 2012 race to be historically close
COACHING CHANGES: Who's going where?
The race took more turns, including the rise and fade of West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, the surge of Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein that seemingly was derailed when the Wildcats lost and the star turn of Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel. Will Manziel become the first freshman to win? Will Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o become the first full-time defensive player to take home the award? Or did Klein sway voters back in his direction with his win against Texas in the regular-season finale? The award will be presented Saturday (ESPN, 8 p.m. ET).
USA TODAY Sports Media Group had three voters make a case for one of the top candidates.
The case for Manziel
Unlike most Heisman Trophy candidates, Johnny Manziel burst onto the national scene this fall with virtually no notice as a redshirt freshman.
MORE : Johnny Football prepares for Heisman moment
Manziel first had to win the job to replace Ryan Tannehill as Texas A&M's starting quarterback before he could make history.
Once he cleared that hurdle, each game became his stage and a stepping-out party.
And to say Manziel has exceeded expectations would be a vast understatement.
He set the single-season record for offensive production in the Southeastern Conference with 4,600 yards, surpassing recent Heisman-winning quarterbacks Cam Newton and Tim Tebow.
Manziel is the first freshman and just the fifth player in NCAA history to pass for at least 3,000 yards and rush for at least 1,000 in a season.
Manziel also has led Texas A&M to a better-than-expected 10-2 record, highlighted by a 29-24 victory at then-No.1 Alabama on Nov.10 in which he accounted for 345 of the Aggies' 418 yards.
And it's not as if he were terrible in his team's two losses, to Florida in the opener and to LSU. Manziel finished with 233 total yards against the Gators and 303 against LSU — teams that have a combined record of 21-3 and excel on defense.
But it's not just statistics and victories that make Manziel worthy of being the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy; it's also how he plays the game.
Manziel's ability to extend plays with his feet and throw accurately on the run makes him a nightmare for defenses.
Manziel appeared to be stopped in the pocket countless time this season only to escape in true Houdini fashion.
Few things break down a defense more than a dual-threat quarterback who extends plays.
And few players have risen as quickly or as high as Manziel in barely more than three months.
He already has been given the nickname "Johnny Football."
Saturday, Manziel might be given something else, and it would be hard to argue against it.

The case for Klein
Collin Klein is no Calvin Klein.
But when it comes to making a statement, the fashion designer has nothing on the Kansas State quarterback.
HEISMAN: Collin Klein has major support
Klein — Collin — did something Saturday that nobody thought possible, giving undecided Heisman Trophy voters something to think about as the deadline approached.
His senior leadership, toughness and character were palpable — as were his trophy-worthy skills — as he shook off a mundane first half to lead Kansas State to a 42-24 win against Texas that clinched a Big 12 championship and Bowl Championship Series berth.
Klein has never been about just statistics, and the Heisman isn't supposed to be about just statistics. But here voters were, debating the value of the video game numbers put up by Texas A&M freshman sensation Johnny Manziel, the emotion and playmaking of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o and the intangibles of Klein.
In this debate, Klein and his immense accomplishments in a Wildcats uniform can't be ignored.
Against Texas, after 4-for-10 passing in the first half, he led two scoring drives in the third quarter and passed and ran for scores in the fourth. He finished with 184 yards passing and 103 rushing and three touchdowns, giving him 3,380 all-purpose yards and 37 touchdowns this season.
In the third quarter, he ran 11 times for 38 yards during a 67-yard drive for the go-head score, then lofted a perfect 55-yard scoring pass to Tyler Lockett in the fourth quarter to put away the game. If anybody thought the Heisman race was over, that sequence should have told them otherwise.
Klein led Kansas State, picked to finish sixth in the Big 12, to an 8-1 league record (11-1 overall), a conference championship and a Fiesta Bowl invitation. That came a year after Kansas State fell one game short of both goals in the BCS process, so Klein has a body of work to judge beyond one season.
The Heisman race was Klein's to lose when he suffered a concussion against Oklahoma State on Nov.3. His numbers fell and an undefeated season was lost against Baylor. But he didn't miss a start after his injury and was there for his teammates until the final play Saturday night, showing what a healthy Klein means to his team.
Was it too little too late for Klein? Not if talent and intangibles matter.

The case for Te'o
The ballot comes every November. More than 900 voters for the Heisman Trophy are asked to select the most outstanding football player in America.
BCS TITLE: Saban, Kelly share long layoff view
The criteria doesn't delineate between offense or defense. It doesn't say only running backs and quarterbacks can win unless there are special circumstances. It doesn't ask for the best player with a cool nickname.
It asks for the most outstanding player. That person this season is Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o.
Te'o was the unquestioned leader of the Fighting Irish defense that carried the team to its first Bowl Championship Series title game and first national championship game since 1988.
Even with his penchant for interceptions and play on Notre Dame's memorable goal-line stands against Stanford and Southern California, Te'o is at a disadvantage when it comes to the highlight reels of quarterbacks Johnny Manziel, Collin Klein and Braxton Miller.
Like any defensive player, he is at a disadvantage if the award comes down to a numbers game. But that doesn't mean Te'o doesn't have impressive statistics.
He led Notre Dame in tackles with 103. His seven interceptions — an unreal total for a linebacker — tied him for second in the country.
The Irish finished No.1 in scoring defense, allowing 10.3 points a game. They were fourth against the rush, with Te'o leading the charge, and sixth in total defense.
Heisman voting is likely to come down to Te'o, Manziel and Klein.
Each has a strong case. Arriving at Te'o as the choice requires a deeper look at the numbers.
Manziel put up huge numbers against Texas A&M's soft schedule that included two lower-division teams and a weak Southeastern Conference West. He engineered an amazing win at Alabama, but whitewashed away in the aftermath of that victory was how poorly he had performed in the team's two other big games — losses at home to Florida and LSU.
Klein was the front-runner until his lone subpar game, a loss at Baylor that was more about Kansas State's defensive implosion than his poor play.
How did Te'o fare in Notre Dame's biggest games?
Against four then-ranked opponents — Michigan State, Michigan, Stanford and Oklahoma — he totaled 42 tackles and three interceptions. The four teams combined for 35 points. Each had its worst scoring game of the season. The Irish won all those games and the other eight games on their schedule, and Te'o was the biggest part of it.
Quarterbacks are given credit for wins in award voting. Shouldn't a linebacker?
If voters can look look past the hype, Te'o will be holding the Heisman on Saturday.

Robert Prenzel, Australia's most celebrated carver of the early 20th century, arrived as an immigrant from Germany in 1888. His repertoire of traditional woodcarving skills formed the basis for work in Australia that celebrated native woods, flora and fauna. Following his naturalisation in 1897, Prenzel began to incorporate Australian motifs into furniture and carved panels in a rich regional variation of the European Art Nouveau style, with its emphasis on flowing, natural forms and exotic materials.
