He had better command of both the issues and the facts, offered plenty of corroborative studies and resources, and managed to make all of it accessible to the average voter. Cain did well at times, but twice had to ask Newt to handle questions first, which isn't exactly a confidence builder. Cain seemed confused about the difference between defined-benefit and premium-support approaches on Medicare, getting confused between pension plans and health care later on the same point. While Cain discussed philosophical approaches to these issues confidently, Gingrich had actual data at the ready, and the difference was telling.

I don't think there's ever been a question that Gingrich knows his stuff, and better than any candidate on either side for the last few elections.
The trouble is that he's an untrustworthy weasel who has a Nixonian tendency to let his personal foibles entirely undermine his qualities.
He's a great thinker, but wields power terribly.
- OldGrouchyCranky said...
JXMc: Exactly! Yet, dissent is still possible!

No matter his personal baggage, I'm beginning to like Newt more all the time. I watched him in this debate and thought "this is who this nation needs as a national leader. Not some pantywaist guy who really doesn't want the job, escapes in the afternoon to ESPN, turns the podium over to Bill Clinton, and embarrasses the USA every time he travels abroad." Yeah, Newt has personal baggage. Most heads of state do. Most past heads of state of the USA have, but the press covers for them. Will we let the Fourth Estate's hatred for all things Republican poison us to the leadership qualities Newt demonstrates so ably?
- pm317 said...
Why is that a surprise? Gingrich is the epitome of intellect when it comes to government and policies. Cain may be good at something but he does not strike me as an intellectual who relishes acquiring knowledge and then talking about it and connect the dots further with it to make your argument. It appears that Cain never imagined his campaign to get this far and now that it has he has to rise to the occasion or quit.
- Pastafarian said...
PaddyO, I've heard about the whole "divorcing his wife as she lay dying" story; and I've also read, only recently, that this whole story was just a bunch of exaggerations and outright lies.
Is there more?
Because I'm starting to warm up to Newt. What's the worst thing he's ever done? Or is this more of a cumulative thing, or a personality-driven effect, this Newt- aversion of yours?
- ricpic said...
Cain would probably have the longer coattails and he absolutely terrifies establishment America so I guess there's gonna be a very well orchestrated "groundswell" for Newt. Which has nothing to do with which man would make the better president. Just the establishment MUST keep blacks on the plantation.
- bagoh20 said...
Both men have long well known histories and resumes, but people will ignore all that pure direct information in favor of gleaming future performance from how well words are strung together.
Successful men are often not the best at describing their success or even selling it, but whatever qualities produce success tend to keep doing so, and those that don't tend to continue that as well.
Of course that has nothing to do with Presidential elections, but it should.
- Carol_Herman said...
In a debate between Hitler and Gingrich, Hitler would probably please "his" crowd, more.
Gingrich is a PHONY! You've seen what he did over the time he played at being Speaker. And, it was a disaster!
Boehner is also a disaster.
So, maybe, Boehner has no complaints.
But thinking Gingrich can "take out" Obama is a fool's errand.
Meanwhile, there was another debate? It's getting like the republicans have "occupy the debates," the way the anarchists, thugs and druggies have Occupy Wall Street.
Both shows are getting to be very old.
And, most people are watching to see how the mess in zoo-cotti park can be cleaned up for real!
Smart people will take their free tents, and then sell them on eBay. By advertising them as previously "hung out" at OWS. Handed out for free, they were top of the line tents.
I also expect to see a "camping out" cookbook.
And, how you can travel to NY and live on the City's $5 a Day program.
- robinintn said...
A vote for Newt is a vote for Obama.
- bagoh20 said...
The story about Newt divorcing his wife in the hospital is a widely believed crock. The Anchoress covered it the other day. I believed it too. We are such suckers.
- mun said...
We may have heard the future revealed when Cain asked Gingrich "As vice president what would you like as a first assignment?" Gingrich is usually the smartest person in the room but is probably unelectable to the presidency for reasons that Paddy O gave. I rejected him at first but now I think more positively of him. I like his idea to, if nominated, to follow Obama around rebutting him.
- Pastafarian said...
Carol Herman: "Gingrich is a PHONY! You've seen what he did over the time he played at being Speaker. And, it was a disaster!"
Yeah, that whole Contract With America thing, followed by all of that damned economic expansion and pesky prosperity. What a debacle that was.
- Paddy O said...
Pasta, yeah I've heard that too and so it's not an issue that bothers me, though it is an issue, right or wrong, that Gingrich has to defend.
It's definitely more of a cumulative thing. He's someone who is going to give the best answer to a question, someone who is the smartest guy in most any room, someone with a lot of legislative experience, but also someone who will torpedo that in some moment of arrogance or pride or whatever.
- ricpic said...
Hey Carol, your god FDR was a PHONY! In spades.
- Canuck said...
"PaddyO, I've heard about the whole "divorcing his wife as she lay dying" story; and I've also read, only recently, that this whole story was just a bunch of exaggerations and outright lies."
Yeah, dying was an exaggeration. She wasn't dying, but was in the hospital due to treatment related to cancer.
He would come to the fight with marital baggage with his multiple affairs.
In any case, I don't think he can raise the money needed to be a real contender.
It's Perry or Romney. (unless somebody else who can raise big money gets in the race.)
- pm317 said...
Pastafarian said...
You may want to read this. His second wife gave a long interview and parts of it are in this article I think. She has some damning things to say not as a disgruntled, vengeful ex-wife but things that may be red flags. In politics today, Newt is probably the one person who comes close to Clintons'(both) intellect and is worth listening to. He will eat Obama with or without his totus for lunch in debates and I will give anything to watch that. But he is also unreliable and damaged that would make him not ideal.
- George said...
There's a huge difference between someone who knows all the facts and someone who knows what to do with them, and even bigger yet, having the courage to actually do it.
Talker vs doer...bureaucrat/politician vs leader.
At the same time, it's important that a doer know enough of the facts so he leads in the right direction. And as far as I'm concerned, that's still an unresolved question about Cain.
- Allie's Apple said...
John Edwards, Newt Gingrich , John Edwards , Newt Gingrich . Not apples and oranges, but two peas in a pod.
- Mid-Life Lawyer said...
I like both Cain and Perry but I no longer consider them to be serious contenders. Like others have mentioned, I am more confident in Newk's electability after reading the statement his daughter put out last week. I am cautiously optimistic that Newt will continue to pick up support as the Cain and Perry supporters peel off. That is the most exciting development in this primary to me.
- edutcher said...
You can't get into a debate like that and defer to your opponent on a couple of key policy issues.
Herman lost a lot last night and Newt, with the post by the Anchoress, as well as being cleared by the IRS of the smear job David Obey and the House Demos threw at him, does start to look a lot more viable.
We shall see.
- edutcher said...
Allie's Apple said...
John Edwards, Newt Gingrich , John Edwards , Newt Gingrich . Not apples and oranges, but two peas in a pod.
Translation: "La la la, I can't hear you".
- Carol_Herman said...
There may be good news in this?
For starters none of the 8 contendahs has collected much in terms of public popularity.
And, Gingrich is an "intellectual."
Americans really don't choose intellectuals for president. If they did, Adlai Stevenson would have won. And, Ike would have lost.
Ike was a GOP desperation choice! Taft (the younger), thought it was his turn. (It's an amazing thing how families seem to own the "IT'S MY TURN" at bat. While Jeb can't find traction this go-round.
2016? Karl Rove will maneuver his "bush" forward. Gingrich will be nowhere in sight. He's probably hoping this "go round" cancels out Romney.
As republicans who own party "stature" are in for the long, long haul.
But watching some republicans trying to "pick the intellectual," is actually hysterical, when you compare this to voting record histories.
At least the Kennedy's won't be back. And, 2016 will be hair raising for democraps. Especially the way their "key players" are biting the dust. (Not just Feingold.)
- Canuck said...
I think Perry is still in it. It's early and he has the $$$ backing him. That cash is going to be critical in a long nomination process.
Cain's not in it seriously until he can attract the big money. He might attract that money.
Gingrich would have problems in the general because of the multiple adulteries. He might be able to get past it, but he's not with his original wife, and a certain portion of the electorate won't overlook his three marriages.
The oppo research would be really bad. Too many opportunities of juicy stories coming from multiple alienated in-laws. (And I don't know if he has kids or his relationship with the kids, but that could also be a problem.) And the sex with the much younger and blonder aide thing during the Clinton impeachment is going to be juicy in the general election.
Middle-class, mostly non-political, church-attending married women will have a hard time voting for him.
- Lauderdale Vet said...
Honestly, I'm warmer to both of them after this debate.
- Carol_Herman said...
Newt, who was screwing his Calista, as he went after Clinton with "impeachment." Isn't exactly a man whose baggage can be ameliorated, exactly.
IF he got the nomination ... I think the democraps would sing: WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE LIKE A BIG PIZZA PIE ...
It's amour-ray when they lose to Obama.
Of course, this horse is running with blinders on. Otherwise, it would be OBVIOUS that the one who strikes the chords of truth is Sarah Palin!
She's even called the "occupy wall street crowd," as a bunch of thugs who want to be bailed out like the banks, and Goldman, were.
Sarah said it correctly. America is not about "entitlements." We're a country were voters are EMPOWERED.
Sure. It still looks good for Obama. For the rest? We just have to wait and see.
- Carol_Herman said...
When Newt was banging Calista, he already had a second wife.
Newt's records show lots of divorces. To cover his tracks he is now a Catholic.
Could mean his "job" (where people pay his campaign money so he can do it), is to knock out Mitt Romney.
Every day that goes by both Romney and Perry look like chopped liver.
- PatCA said...
I am considering Newt more lately too. His wife did not have cancer; she had a benign tumor. And he probably was less amorous than Bill Clinton. Bill had affairs, Newt had marriages!
He is the only one who has the guts to take on Obama. He will articulate a fiscal conservative message and LEAD. Mitt is going to do a McCain, I think, and be afraid to attack his politics, and he will lose.
- robinintn said...
Newt=Global Warmist
Newt=RINO NY 23
Newt=BHO on Israel
This is off the top of my head
Who gives a crap about his marriages/affairs?
- Mid-Life Lawyer said...
Although this thread in not concerning Romney, I want to say that I am warming to him as well since he is obviously being influenced by Paul Ryan. I am hopeful this primary comes down to Romney and Gingrich. I would be happy with that. I think either of those candidates can handle His Imperial Majesty.
- Lem said...
Because I'm starting to warm up to Newt.
I've always liked Newt.
Ali G could not lay a glove on him..
I have some doubt about his fiscal conservatism.. but other than that I think he would be preferable to all the candidates currently running.
- Carol_Herman said...
It's not bad enough to think the republicans, at their convention, will pick Gingrich. Because there's nothing like old times to remind a large part of the American electorate that they were pretty well satisfied with Bill Clinton.
But 2012?
I keep thinking the convention the republicans hold will be one of those events that you can't call ahead of time.
As the states hold their primaries, ahead. Which means that "some" ... or a "few" delegates go into "pockets." It's very possible we will see more candidates, ahead, collecting "pocket money." NO ONE WILL HAVE ENOUGH VOTES TO SAIL OVER THE TOP!
Maybe, that's why Karl Rove is suddenly so quiet?
Sarah Palin hasn't entered "IN," either. But she has her fans. And, she could probably rouse them at a moment's notice.
Imagine a convention that has to keep on voting ... until ONE contedah wins the nomination.
TRUE, no one probably remembers Abraham Lincoln's run in 1860. But he entered the "wigwam" in Chicago, in 3rd or 4th place. With "favorite sons" in the lead.
But, by definition, "favorite sons" don't carry national appeal.
The first night? I think it was Stanton, who won by voice vote. But the printers hadn't finished printing the ballots. Which would not arrive until the next day.
So Lincoln's supporters went to work on each and every favorite son's team. Pointing out that they wouldn't win. While Lincoln, by then, had a national reputation. Because of the Lincoln Douglass debates. And, the dems were gonna pick Douglas.
That lesson may ring true, again. The conservatives seem to be in the business of "picking their favorite." While the real issues that interest most Americans are not being tackled by the republican party at all.
It's a "Showcase of Debates."
Which puts emphasis on the scale towards "religion," if you're viewing this from an opposing camp. Or "intellectualism," which is sure to go down the drain. Since "smart" doesn't really appeal.
Dunno why this is so.
But it's pretty much a given, now, that none of the 8 stands a chance.
And, every time I hear "Romney" ... I think McCain. So, that if it's gonna be Romney, then Obama wins in a walk.
Sure. Lots of people don't think Obama is competent. But there will be plenty of ticket splitting ... which could mean the senate also falls into the hands of the republicans.
Obama will then do what he can to keep things "divisive."
- edutcher said...
Carol's just ticked because her wet dream, Willie, doesn't get the kind of respect Newt gets as a thinker.
Willie was supposed to be a intellecheral (Rhodes candidate, and all), like GodZero, but all anybody thinks of him as is a gutter politician and a skilled (i.e., sociopath) liar.
- Methadras said...
Gingrich is a policy wonk, everyone knows this. Cain is the experienced novice. Not in command of all the facts, but is at least willing to admit that he is willing to learn them. If the media could escort Erkle, the great unknower into the WH with his promise of hope (fail) and change (a bigger fail), then the American public may entrust themselves to having a political neophyte like Cain in the WH. Every single republican candidate out there right now is infinitely better than what we have in the WH now.
- MayBee said...
defined-benefit and premium-support approaches on Medicare
Someone steeped in government culture knows what the buzz words mean, inside and out. Not knowing the specific terms being used doesn't mean one can't have quality of thought about the situations they represent.
I think that's important to keep in mind.
- miller said...
How soon we forget Harold Stassen and Adlai Stevenson. Men who thought they deserved to win because they were in for the long haul and were smart.
It will be Romney vs. Obama, and Obama will win 54:46. Because what will Romney do different than Obama? Nothing, really, except maybe bring the Lawrence Welk Show back into the White House instead of Jay-Z.
America, the 50s are calling. They want Romney back.
- William said...
A Presidential debate is not something you actually win. The aim is not to appear smarter than your opponent but to appear more likeable and trustworthy. There are many things to be said in favor of Gingrich's intellect and instincts, but he has no magnetism. How does it happen Clinton survives his scandals, and Gingrich appears a sleaze?.....You can blame the MSM for some of it, but there's more to it than that. Spitzer crashed and burned, but Schwartzenegger winked and moved on. I think Cain will be able to absorb his scandal much better than Gingrich simply because he has more charm. Also he looks like the kind of guy that pursues women in order to get laid rather than to validate his existence......I'm not a fan of either man. Cain's ideas are gimmicky and, to me anyway, he comes across more as a pitchman than as a serious thinker, but there can be no doubt that between Cain and Gingrich, he is the more likeable of the two.....I would caution all Republicans, however, to be wary of his charm. Schwartenegger ran on the basis of his being an outsider with no political experience. People filled in the blanks and thought they were going to get another Reagan. As it turns out, Arnie had more in common with Teddy than Ronnie. There's much to like in Cain, but there are many grounds for wariness as well
- Browndog said...
Although this thread in not concerning Romney, I want to say that I am warming to him as well since he is obviously being influenced by Paul Ryan.
The truthiness of that statement aside, the only thing consistent about Romney is his ability to be "influenced" by whoever he sees as beneficial to his personal aspirations at that particular moment.
Kinda like the guy he's trying to replace...
- Roger Sweeny said...
What people say in debates is only important to the extent that it predicts what they will do in office.
How to go from one to the other isn't at all obvious. Presidential candidates constantly say, "I will do this" and "I will do that" as if Congress and the courts and the bureaucracy and the rest of the world don't exist.
I am not enthusiastic about Cain but, as a resident of Massachusetts, I imagine Romney appointing respectable, experienced people to be Cabinet secretaries and under-secretaries and commissioners. The people under them (the "permanent government") tell them how difficult it would be to spend less or to regulate less and Romney's appointees then pass that message up the line--and very little changes.
Cain could be a disaster, but he also might cause some real change.

GodZero only won with those numbers because of the Conservatives who stayed home - which they won't this time - and the independents - and he's lost them, as he's losing women and Hispanics.
Anyone who thinks things can stay the way they are today (something of a pipe dream in itself) and Zero will still be re-elected is kidding themselves.
- Carol_Herman said...
Romney doesn't stand a chance.
My guess is that Obama finds the "Debating Shows" to be boring for most Americans.
It's sort'a like the "occupy Wall Street" crowd is to lame brained students, with enough credential debt, to stay under water for a lifetime.
You need these debates, I guess. But nobody's watching them.
What leaks through for the OWS "crowd" are the comedy routines now running.
Even here the GOP isn't making a dent. What funny stuff could you report about these debates?
As to "remembering" Harold Stassen, he was the Ralph Nader of "attempts" at running for president.
And, the surprising fact about Adlai Stevenson is that his father was the veep candidate to a democrap who lost.
Then? Following in his dad's footsteps, Adlai Stevenson also lost.
But at least Stevenson had a sense of humor! When a woman approached him to shake his hand, she was so enthused she said "every bright person in America will vote for you." And, Stevenson replied: "Then, alas, I lose." And, he did. Twice.
The republicans called him an "egg head."
I still think there's NO SURE THANG ... walking into the GOP convention in 2012.
You think you're watching the "show" with these debates?
Most of the conventioneers will sit out front. The real fighting, however, will occur backstage.
Will Gingrich have enough cards to manuever in this environment? Or will he be thrown to the dogs?
Romney? Romney = McCain.
But there are jokers in this deck! Trump and Sarah Palin may even opt to run circles around everyone. And, go into the race as Independents.
How long did it take Ross Perot to get on the 1992 ballot? (Just a couple of months.) And, back then the "photo opportunities" went to the people who were hauling signed petitions around. In all 50 states! Once Perot appeared on Larry King Live ... and Larry asked him if he'd do this ... It was just a matter of months!
Too bad Ross Perot turned out to be such a lunatic.
These days? It takes longer to prove your candidate doesn't have the mustard.
- Joe Schmoe said...
Newt was by far better at last night's venue. However, one thing about Cain that I did like is that he can present policy solutions very simply. I'm not saying they are great solutions, but he makes it very digestible.
I loved listening to Newt last night, but I became aware that he offers complicated solutions to problems. These complex solutions are much more likely to get watered down, misapplied, or downright fail because of all the levels of people that they need to go through. I don't think Newt would make a great CEO.
- Joe Schmoe said...
Another thing about Newt that was great last night was how damn gracious he was. He's really on a charm offensive in these GOP debates right now.
I would almost like to see Newt get nominated just to see the debates between him and Barry. Those would be all-out war.
- Joe said...
Cain is another Obama; pretty much a blank slate onto which supporters project what they want, ignoring all the contradictions.
Newt's just a weasel.
- jeff said...
"Cain is another Obama; pretty much a blank slate onto which supporters project what they want, ignoring all the contradictions."
Right, exactly like Obama. Of course you have to ignore his 30 years of accomplishments to get there.
- Joe said...
Cain's accomplishments mean shit for actually leading the country. The stupidest shit flows out of the man's mouth and yet he's deified.
- A. Shmendrik said...
Newt Gingrich discusses
education with Joel Klein at Education and Election 2012 Forum
Newt is a conundrum. I think he would be dynamite, but his electability is an open question. Perhaps if he can proceed gently during the primaries, enough people will be willing to listen to him long enough to appreciate that some of the talents he has to offer might displace some of the reservations and concerns, real and imagined, about his personal life that have built up within his media image over the years.
It may never happen, but if he did get the nomination I would plunk down large $ for a pay per view title match debate with Gingrich and Obama. Gingrich would eviscerate Obama. Watch the entire 34:42 of video at the link above and see what you think.
- gadfly said...
Does Gingrich's the personal foibles, baggage,et al include dumping on his "dying wife" that he was divorcing her?
If it does, there are some details that you need to know about here.
- magical thinking said...
I had given up on Gingrich some years ago. I had heard the story about his wife and the hospital and I decided I didn't like him. Now it turns out they had already agreed to a divorce and she was in for surgery and he brought the kids in to see their mom and then they talked about the terms of the divorce. Still no fun, but very different and not monstrous IMO.
Last summer, I watched his 2010 "MICHIGAN MUST CHANGE OR DIE" speech (it's on YouTube). He just lays it on the line that there's a road failure and a road to prosperity, and we must choose. So he got my attention again.
He is saying that we have an opportunity with technology to have a better life for everyone if we can be smart. The world that works, versus the world that doesn't, and government as it is doesn't work.
I've searched for his speeches to get a more comprehensive idea of what he has in mind. I've learned that, on YT, you've got to search for his speeches by name or date or you will endlessly wade through a swamp of anti-Gingrich videos, "featured" videos and other miscellanea.)
In late October, he was interviewed by Paul Gigot and Joel Klein at the College Board forum on "The Future of American Education." It was EXCELLENT. Not on YT but easily found online.
I've seen our schools utterly fail with bright but non-typical students. I'm really interested in innovation in education. The current model of schools is 19th-century. IMO Gingrich is a visionary on education.
At the Iowa Reagan dinner in early November -- link -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIvGyohjpOE -- Gingrich says if he's the nominee, he will challenge Obama to seven Lincoln-Douglas style debates of three hours each, no moderator and a time-keeper only; and that if Obama refuses, Gingrich will do as Lincoln did to Douglas, and follow him around and give responding speeches. I would LOVE to see this.
The Left has subverted most of our public institutions. Elections don't put a dent in this. If we want to change it, it's going to take a lot more than a presidential election. I've concluded that government of the people, by the people and for the people requires some exertion from the people.
- Ritchie The Riveter said...
Newt Gingrich understands and articulates the sound principles we need to return to, if we are going to get out of this fine-kettle-of-fish we are swimming in today.
However, he has one major piece of baggage ... the reversion of the Gingrich-led House to pork-barrel politics-as-usual in the late 1990's, after the good work they did in the aftermath of 1994.
That is what turned me into an independent ... and is why I still think that someone less connected to the professional/political complex, like Mr. Cain, is the better choice.
However, mun may be on to something ... There may be some value in the old hand, Gingrich, reprising the Darth Cheney role in a Cain Administration ... that is, as long as Mr. Cain remains feisty enough to resist the pull of the Dark Side of the Political Force, back to politics-as-usual.
- KenK said...
Gingrich's brief record as a leader was mediocre at best. Cain has never held political office at all and running a business is not the same as running a polity. I seriously doubt either one would be unable to beat Obama. IMHO both these guys would be poor choices.
- Michael Haz said...
I like Newt. He's the smartest candidate, was formerly second in the line of succession, and has political experience unequalled by any of the other candidates.
Is he flawed? Yes, of course he is. Aren't we all? He is divorced, like many Americans, and that will be less of a negative than his liberal detractors hope. Reagen, after all, was also divorced and was elected twice.
Gingrich has sought redemption and forgiveness, privately, out of the public eye, through his conversion to Catholicism. Give him that, and expect that the won't tarnish the office in the manner of JFK or WJC.
I'd rather have an ideologically conservative Gingrich as President than a vacillating RINO like Romney, or a mean liar like Perry.
I think Newt is the best candidate for the job.
- murgatroyd666 said...
I like Gingrich, but the media will take vast delight in destroying him -- even if they have to use lies to do it. Most of America "knows" that Newt cheated on his dying wife and served her divorce papers as she was recovering from the anesthesia from cancer surgery ... just as most of America still "knows" that George H.W. Bush had never seen a supermarket barcode scanner before 1992.
- Cedarford said...
"It appears that Cain never imagined his campaign to get this far and now that it has he has to rise to the occasion or quit."
Cain was a fast food executive, then the decline of Godfather's sales led to his replacement and 2nd career as a conservative motivational speaker. To do his 2nd gig, Cain only had to learn the red meat conservative issues and deliver on them as a motivating, likable Philosopher King. Unfortunately, Cain never bothered to learn many many things you need to be a good governor or President.
So Cain delivers a fine line of bullshit in motivational preacher cadence to the yahoos and Fundies..but can't mask the holes in his qualifications you could drive a truck through.
Newt has a different act. He is a bright guy, though not as bright as a Clinton or Romney....he exploits his "Perfessor" persona - much like Obama does.
He lectures with heavy portent, in a tone and pausing intensity that like Obama, convinces the rubes that what he is saying is profound - and is The Most Important Thing They Have Ever Heard. That like Obama, he is indeed The Smartest Man in The Room.
Except he isn't.
But he thinks he is, and that is why Newt's history is full of things he tried to get away with because he figured he was so smart he could. But got nailed with. Even after he left politics 14 years ago (he lasted 4 years as Speaker, quitting the House after he lost his Republican majority). To make money as a pundit, book seller, and TV talking head.
Neither guy is Presidential material.
I wouldn't go with either as VP, for that matter.
Cain is old at 65, with serious past health issues and I doubt he could take a 3AM phone call without people telling him what he had to say.
Newt would be 70. He could take the 3AM phone call. And as VP, someone would watch the guy to ensure his spinning moral compass didn't burn Newt and the country one more time. But if he did become President, who would watch him?
- Sean said...
I find it dismaying that Newt is even drawing the meager support that he does from the Republican rank and file. Why?
Is it because he was stupid enough to appear schmoozing with Pelosi about a "compromise" with green extremists and "climate change"? (He's sorry now - just stfu)
Is it because he was sleezy enough to lobby against reform for Freddie Mac, for $300,000 in 2006, instead of adding his voice to those who saw the collapse coming?
Is it because he supports ethanol subsidies, and oh.. by the way ..received $300,000 from an ethanol lobby group in 2009?
He's a sleazy beltway insider and influence peddler. Of course he knows the bureaucratic buzzwords that make the wonks all tingly - it's his job and his reason for living. Hell - he even married a lobbyist.
While the deathbed confrontation is obviously a media hackjob, there remains no doubt that Gingrich is a pussyhound, which indicates a lack of discipline and personal ethics.
Again, I am dismayed by the even meager support he has received.
- Kirk Parker said...
"...yet he's deified. "
Deified? Why do I suspect you're the sort of person who wouldn't recognize a god if you ran into on on Main Street in the broad daylight?
- traditionalguy said...
Cain is moving on up in the polls because of his authentic personality and sense of humor.
The 40 years of Cain's career was in leadership roles until he trained himself how to do it right.
He is a superb leader.
Remember the Generals with high credentials spitting mad at George Patton, the unconventional General doing things his way, and who mainly connected with his men until he could lead them through the Wehrmacht's Panzers without a moment's doubt that their leader did not know what needed to be done or would support them while they did it for him.
Patton studied leadership 35 years to perfect his style.
After the war is won there will be plenty of time to rate Cain's flaws and bad decisions like they did to Patton, but we need a leader to win this 2012 war.
And Patton was right that a good plan acted upon now is better than awaiting a perfect plan that delays you until until your enemy is ready for it.
9-9-9 anyone? The Cain Train is putting on some more coal and rolling faster and faster.

Canada's diamond industry is currently worth over 2 billion dollars (2007). At the time this film was made (1996), diamond mining was in its exploration phase and did not require any type of environmental assessment. This excerpt describes the predicted environmental impacts of the development of Canada's first diamond mine (now named Ekati).

Hello all,
Installed Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon-64 bit (lxf167) yesterday and I'm starting to notice some missed clicks. When switching between windows, its very hard to get the focus shifted from the inactive window. For example if I highlight and ctrl-c some code snippet in Firefox then alt-tab to terminal, it frequently will be un-clickable when it comes to the front, and I'll have to tab away and back once or twice to be able to click anything. (Such as finally being able to right click and tell it to paste.)
It's a Saitek Cyborg rat3 mouse (usb) which, frankly, I'd hate to give up. Works fine on WinXP and the other Bootables from lxf.
Any hunches?

They're a lot like Cowherd in a sense. Once I began viewing them for what they are instead of looking for hardcore "Xs and Os" talk, I liked them. They're off the wall, ridiculous, and goofy, but I like it. It's not meant to be taken seriously.
As far as softball questions...it's ESPN. They still haven't openly mentioned the new Reggie Bush book. Here's a dozen of the same Clemens, Vick, and Patriots segments just done by a different reporter...run along children.

3. Recruit Money Mules
Financially motivated cybercriminals have become experts in recruiting people in the United States to cash out stolen credit and debit cards. Using scams, organized cybercriminals in Eastern Europe and Russia often target the poor and unemployed, promising employment and the ability to work remote. Often the scheme involves setting up phony websites, making it look like a legitimate job opportunity. Money mules that have been arrested in the past have told investigators they didn't know they would be used to drain money from stolen accounts.
Between Dec. 21 and Dec. 22, the cybercriminal organization distributed five account numbers from the RAKBank accounts to individuals located in 20 countries around the world, investigators said.


text: Well I have been doing these two things for almost a month now and holy shit it has kicked my ass. I really have taken a love for this stuff and hope I can continue it for a long time(already 36, but better late then never). On a shitty note... I have broken my toe(week 3), sprained my ankle(week 1), and now have torn my medial gastrocnemius(left calf)and have told my recovery could take up to 6-8 weeks. I already have some peptides coming my way but wish I had some real HGH for the healing instead. Any other ideas about faster healing? I told the doc I was still going to do upper body but doc said that was a bad idea. I just don't think I could take sitting on my ass for 6-8 weeks and doing nothing. Anyway, for all the MMA guys on here, my hats are off to you!

David Moyes is prepared to wield the axe this summer with up to 12 Manchester United first-team players under threat, according to the Daily Star.
The report claims Rafael Da Silva, Patrice Evra, Shinji Kagawa, Nani, Anderson, Rio Ferdinand and Alex Buttner could all follow Nemanja Vidic's lead and leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.
The Serbian defender has confirmed he intends to quit United when his contract expires this summer.
Other players in the firing line include Tom Cleverley, Wilfried Zaha, and Javier Hernandez while Ryan Giggs could retire in what promises to be a transitional summer at Old Trafford.
But it will not just be confined to players leaving, as the report claims Moyes is planning to bring in at least five new players before the start of the next campaign.
He's reportedly turned down the chance to work for a number of TV stations at the World Cup in Brazil.
He will still head down there, but plans to do so in a scouting capacity as he searches for the right names to help rebuild United into a title contender.
With a number of United defenders tipped to leave, the manager's focus will likely be on strengthening his back-line.
The likes of Eliaquim Mangala and Ezequiel Garay have been linked with the Old Trafford club.

One Piece EP 73+ coming compliments of Neko-Factory!
Well, I guess that lurking N-K's chan on IRC was a good thing after all. ^_^
I made reference to this in another thread, but since everyone chose to ignore it due to my bad choice in thread titles, I thought I'd put it out here too so everyone knew about it.
The general gist of it goes like this. Talked to PeRo^2 from N-K in their chan and they are working on getting a tracker for their subs and they might be able to relase them fairly soon if that happens. Heck, I think they even picked up a translator that they needed while I was in there cause they were chatting with someone in regards to that. All they'll need now is an encoder and a timer and we've got Ep 73+ coming to us full steam!
Thought I'd pass on the good news to all those of us dying waiting on release of EP 73 and above. They've got up through episode 115 subbed with raws for episodes up to 175. So we're in for another One Piece dump here soon. Woohoo!! ^_^

I could be wrong but I thought they only had episodes 110-115 subbed and also they use 320X240 resolution on their encodes(Kaizoku uses 640X480 on their current episodes). Hopefully I am incorrect, but I don't think so.

Perty good from my understanding. Although that information comes from a friend of mine. He told me of the 3 groups who currently have released fansubs for episode 73 and above, N-K is the best of them. So I'm going on a 3rd party's info, but I'll be able to give a first hand opinion as soon as I get a copy of it downloaded off IRC, which thanks to sucky fserv bots, is proving quite challenging.

Well, K-F will be my keeper subs. They'll be the ones that'll get burned to CD and kept. If Neko brought theirs out, I'd watch it to feed my raging addiction to one piece, but little more.
But I'm glad to see K-F bringing out more episodes. Can't wait for the rest of them. hehe.

Those pictures don't look too good, but unfortunately, they can easily have been made up just for making NK look bad. Although, since i've read all of the manga, which i prefer, and know all of the story, i'm more than happy to stick with KF, especially since they do such good quality subs.

Calif. community colleges will close cafeterias as part of budget cuts
March 14—Moorpark, Oxnard and Ventura colleges will close their cafeterias at the end of this semester, another in a series of budget cuts that have included cutting classes and laying off workers.
The Ventura County Community College District board voted 3-2 to close the cafeterias Tuesday night. Board chairman Stephen Blum, along with trustees Dianne McKay and Larry Miller, voted to close the cafeterias; trustees Art Hernandez and Bernardo Perez were opposed.
The move eliminates 10 jobs, saving $395,778 in salary and benefits. If the board did not close the cafeterias, it would have to cut somewhere else, including classes, McKay said.
"I understand its value on a campus, but it's not a core mission," she said. "Ahead of us are enormous cutbacks we need to make. We need to save as many classes as we can."

Metallica have unveiled a new song titled "The Lords Of Summer" during the first show of their Metallica By Request tour.
The early fan response to the new song seems positive, with some aggressive thrash riffage, double-kick and harmonized soloing. It seems to fit somewhere alongside the more …And Justice For All-like moments of Death Magnetic.
Metallica By Request allows fans to vote on the set list. Upon purchasing tickets online, fans receive an email with a code allowing them to cast their ballots. Voting for the South American leg of the tour has been completed, but European fans can vote until May 16, and those heading to the Heavy Montreal festival can vote until August 1. The band also allowed Bogota audience members to pick one song towards the end of the set, choosing between "Whiskey In The Jar," "Ride The Lightning" and "Hero Of The Day."
Metallica Bogota Set List:
1. Blackened
2. Master of Puppets
3. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
4. Fuel
5. The Unforgiven

Ok, I did a little reading on this and thought I had the concept down but apparently I'm missing something. The big question is does equal -1 or 1?
It's -1 from the explanation I read which makes perfect sense to me, if = then = . If, this is (-1)(-1)= 1 So fine, the negative is applied to the exponent in the first example and not in the second.
The problem I'm having a little trouble with is:
with the question: Is -1 a solution?
I say it's:
Substituting -1 for y
So negative one is not a solution.
y = 1
Um, I think....

How paper diaries prosper in the digital era.
04 October 2010
Download PDF (English)
The Moleskine Diary Collection gets wider, from Extra Small all the way to A4.
Moleskine releases two new entries in the planners collection for 2011- two new endpoints in the collection's dimensional range: the Extra Small, 6.5 x 10.5 cm (2 ½ x 4 inches), and the A4, 21x29.7 cm (12 x 81/2 inches). They are the smallest and the biggest planners in the Moleskine catalogue so far, both hard cover, both in two different page layouts, daily and weekly. The Extra Small is a super portable organizing tool for people who love miniature design and small writing. It comes in 6 colors: Pink, Maroon, Sky Blue, Blue, Lime Green and - of course - the classic Moleskine Black. The A4 is made for desk use in an office environment - sober, spacious, contemporary classic. All other features of the two new planners are those of the iconic Moleskine notebook: rounded corners, ivory color paper, strong elastic band, place marker and inner pocket.
The Moleskine planner collection now includes 32 pieces in a range of sizes, page layouts (daily, weekly, monthly), covers (soft, hard, black, red, other colors) and different combinations of scheduling space and space for free notes: they are designed to fit the portability and planning needs of people from all sorts of professions, and the most diverse cultural inclinations. Planner design is in fact a cultural specific matter. Some people see the planner as an intimate diary, others as an organizing tool. There are those who love to keep it always with them and others who prefer to use it only at work. Geography also makes a difference. In Japan and US, for example, there is a larger demand for monthly planners (one whole month in a page spread): more people here have long term scheduling habits, needing a bird's eye view on projects.
Durable Planners.
Another main focus of the Moleskine design team is to make planners durable, in the binding, the stitching, the cover and the place marker ribbon. Every planner is thumbed through up to 20 times per day, 365 days a year. It needs to be portable to tuck into bags and pockets. It needs to be tough. This is why Moleskine materials are submitted to a strict quality control system.
How paper planners prosper in the digital era.
The long debated issue about digital tools possibly overcoming analog ones is far from being resolved. Everyone has their own answers, often shared with others over the internet, as in GTD-themed groups (GTD - "Getting Things Done" method). Most Moleskine users feel completely comfortable using both analog and digital devices or even merging them together in new hybrids. Moleskine believes in continuity between analog and digital tools for organizing time and ideas. Research tells us that Moleskine users have a much higher than average inclination towards digital devices, and they see no contradiction in giving themselves a nice treat with good analog tools such as a Moleskine notebook or diary. Analog and digital tools have different moods and serve different purposes for different tasks and situations.
A wide range of sizes and layouts: from the Extra Small Weekly Planner: 160 Pages | $9.95 to the A4 daily Planner: 400 Pages | $39.95,
NOTE. Three different Videos dedicated to the planner collection and created by US and European visual artists will be available on moleskine.com starting from mid October.

While he has been too slow to develop and looking back, a reach even on the bottom of the second round, still might be hope for him.
This will be the year he must step up or he will loose his roster spot next season and be gone.

Language obstacle? He was in this country for 8 years before he took the test. Face it, guy's as dumb as a pile of mud.Originally Posted by RoadFa[B
And his feet suck.
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son.
Thats basically what Vlad is.
His biggest Jet accomplishment is winning the "King Ugly" award his rookie year
i know i am going to get killed for this, but i think he still has some upside...small school guy, didn't really play football too long...i'd give him another year at guard.
But, there was a large contingent on this board who, in year 3, were making ludicrous statements like "Give him time - he's developing". I call bull**** there.
Even if a guy is really raw, a 2nd round lineman needs to be in contention to start in year 1. If, on account of being really raw, he is a backup for year 1, he needs to be in the lineup, come hell or highwater, in year 2. I'll give him a learning curve of one year, but that's it.
Ducasse was brought in to start right away - we drafted him and cut Faneca on the same weekend. The fact that he was beaten out by Slauson was not what the team wanted or expected.
I don't hold it against Tanny too much - some picks are busts...it happens. But, Ducasse has been a disappointment, there's no questioning that. Hopefully he steps up and contributes this year and then we'll at least have got something out of him. We'd better considering we may be losing two Guards and the team rotated him in last year solely to be ready for 13'.
i.e. Kyle Brady, Vlad, Kenny O (not Marino) when commo sense points in the opposite direction.
Experts? again...LOOK AT HIM. he is slow and sloppy.
Jason Pierre Paul? He was a BEAST in college and the minute you saw him you suspected he would excel in the NFL.
At USF, he was fast and powerful.
Vlad sucks. He will start next year b.c we have no cap room and not enough draft picks to fill a depleted roster.
Maybe Idzik will find someone during his tryouts.

So I am now able to post a forum topic because I have reached my 20 points. How I got those 20 I'm not exactly sure because I have not reached anywhere close to 20 posts. I would just like to thank everyone that has anything to do with this site. When I sent in my application to UM I began to follow the football team but did not want to get to emotionally attached in case I did not get in. During the season I was looking at some sights and message boards and unfortunately did not find this gem of a site until about a week ago. This is far and away the best site I have found and is the most impressive sports blog I have ever seen. I would like to thank all that make this site possible, this is my new place for all UM information. I am normally not a big poster but I needed to make this post because this place is awesome! One thing that I can not stand is people who claim to be "fans" but know nothing about the team besides the star player. Upon my acceptance I have been on a quest to gather my information to be a "real" fan. If anybody has any books or other places to look so I can futher understand the history, tradition, and what it really means to be a Wolverine I would love it if you let me know. I will admit that I have made a few mistakes in my past, I grew up in Ohio and was a half hearted Buckeye fan who more just loved the passion and traditions of college football as opposed to a specific team, so yes I did root for OSU in the '02 Natl Championship game (now I can clearly see that no pass interference should have been called). I no longer have any ties to that other school and can not stand their fans from living around so many and reading there message boards. I have a few pretty basic questions that I know you guys can answer for me.
1. Explain the whole snake oil thing, I know it relates to RR but I dont quite get it.
2. I recently rewatched the UM ND game this year and was wondering about our defense. Do we run a base 3-4 but throw in some 4-3 looks because I saw both but I was a little distracted because my eyes kept getting distracted by Brandon Graham.
3. Is every offense set a 3 WR set because I kept seeing that even in running situations.
4. Are there plans to schedule some big OOC games in the futre (UConn is a step but it's not there yet) I know we play ND every year but is there a chance for some others. Also will I see a night game in AA anytime soon, I know there are no lights and they have to be brought in but is there a chance, and a 3:30 start in Nov. when it's dark at the half doesnt count as a night game IMO.
Thanks for all the answers and reading all my rambling.

i don't know about any of you guys but I find cObama to have a nice, thin body and is not hard to look at. I have yet to see him without a jacket on and that hides his package. He looks like he would have a long, thin, cut tool. Any other observations?? Pics??
Yeah, long, not too thin, shiny and purple is more like it.
hell YES lol... there's something bout obama thats extremely appealing... it's his charm, charisa and his physical appearance.
i need to see his fingers to determine how his piece is lol.
hell yea!!!!!!!
that guy got charm!

I don't find him all THAT sexy, but definitely appealing...
I'm sure his penis is a substantial length and thickness. I don't know about his balls, though. Considering he's fathered two girls, I do have to question the virility of his genetic material.

God No, id Much sooner fuck Hilary....
He's sexy for a presidential candidate, much better than we've seen before. I like the way he expresses himself so I think that's sexy. So, I would say YES.
Hey, Latino, you might get your chance to fuck Hilary, God knows Bill ain't getting any..not from her anyway lol
The Real Barack Obama
Thursday, February 21, 2008 10:06 AM
By: Ronald Kessler Article Font Size
Michelle Obamas comment that, for the first time in her adult life, she feels proud of America helps crystallize who Barack Obama is.
To be sure, the wife of a candidate is perfectly free to have views that are distinct from her husbands. But on a matter that is so fundamental to ones being as love of country, it is difficult to imagine that Michelle Obama would publicly twice make such a statement suggesting disdain for America unless she felt it comported with her husbands views.
Equally important, her statement aligns perfectly with the hate-America views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obamas minister, friend, and sounding board for more than two decades. On the Sunday following 9/11, Wright characterized the terrorist attacks as a consequence of violent American policies. Four years later, Wright suggested that the attacks were retribution for Americas racism.
In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01, Wright wrote in his church magazine Trumpet. White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just disappeared as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.
Wright has been a key supporter of Louis Farrakhan, and in December, honored the Nation of Islam leader for lifetime achievement, saying he truly epitomize[s] greatness.
Farrakhan has repeatedly made hate-filled statements targeting Jews, whites, America, and homosexuals.
Those who think two of the closest people to Obama could publicly make anti-America statements unless Obama himself felt that way, are fooling themselves. To date, Obama has proven himself to be nothing more than a great orator, rendering the statements of those around him even more important in illuminating his true character and agenda. During his Senate career, he skipped 17 percent of the votes and sponsored only one bill that became law. That bill was to promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Bereft of official accomplishments, Obama has distinguished himself mainly by being against measures that protect American security, such as finishing the mission in Iraq. If we were to leave Iraq quickly, as Obama vows he would do, it would become a launch pad for al-Qaida attacks on the U.S.
Obama avoided voting on extending the Protect America Act, thus putting America at risk when immediate interception of terrorist communications is required. Last August, Obama voted against a measure that would have allowed the U.S. to continue to monitor overseas conversations of terrorists like Osama bin Laden without first obtaining a warrant.
If his radical vote had prevailed, bin Laden would have been given the same rights as Americans.
To this day, Obama has not distanced himself from most of Rev. Wrights comments. In a statement supposedly issued to address the matter, Obama ignored the point that his minister and friend had spoken adoringly of Farrakhan and that Wrights church was behind the award to the Nation of Islam leader. Instead, as outlined in a Jan. 17 Newsmax article, he disingenuously claimed he thought the magazine bestowed the award on Farrakhan for his efforts to rehabilitate ex-prisoners.
Neither Wrights encomiums about Farrakhan nor the Trumpet article mentions ex-prisoners.
Similarly, after John McCains wife Cindy responded to Michelle Obamas remarks by telling a Wisconsin rally, I have, and always will be, proud of my country, Barack Obama told a radio interviewer that his wife did not say what people think she said. He then proceeded to rewrite her comments, claiming that she had meant she was encouraged by the large numbers of people who have gotten involved in the political process. Michelle Obama then made a similar revision of her remarks.
In her speech in Milwaukee, Michelle Obama said flatly, For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.
And what has been wrong with America up to now? That it gave Michelle the opportunity to attend Princeton and Harvard Law School? That it gave Barack Obama the chance to attend Columbia University and Harvard Law School and become a U.S. senator making more than $1 million a year from book royalties?
Was it that America stopped Nazi Germany from continuing to murder millions of Jews? That America has provided Africa and other countries with $15 billion to combat the spread of AIDS/HIV and that another $30 billion is on the way? That 46 percent of all Americans classified by the Census Bureau as poor own their own homes, 76 percent of them have air conditioning, and 75 percent of them have at least one car? Or that America allows us to express our views freely without fear of being put in jail, as is the case in Russia?
A lawyer, Michelle Obama is perfectly capable of expressing herself precisely. In fact, she spoke from a written speech.
Those who do not want to believe she meant what she said and that Barack Obama could not be so close to Rev. Wright if he did not himself believe in much of what he has said are in denial.
The real Barack Obama is starting to emerge, and for those of us who are grateful to America for everything it represents, it is not a pretty sight.

^^^^^Bullshit. "Barack thinks this because his wife thinks it."
Here's an idea... let's all grow up and realize people are individuals, with their own brains and mouths able to form and express their own opinions.

^^Get that political mess outta this thread, take it to CEP. Thank you.
Anyway, I've always found him very sexy, especially because of how articulate he is. I don't know why but for some reason I'm turned on by a man who's really good with words.
I agree, Sun. The purpose of this thread is to discuss his sexuality, not his political views. Anyway, the pics of Obama in the bathing suit doesn't fit the slim body he shows off in a suit.
Most politicians are ugly, so for a politician, he's practically Brad Pitt. As an everyday guy though, I'd say he's cute facially and seems to have a good body for a man of his age. The miscolored lips are a bit of a turn off. I had always felt there was "something" up with his lips but couldn't put my finger on what, but remembering that he's a smoker, it makes more sense. I love his personality though. As a whole, he's kinda sexy.
Politics aside, I think he's a beautiful man. And that's definitely the combination of good looks, charisma, intelligence, and the way he speaks and carries himself. He just comes across as a classy guy. I've never noticed the lip thing some are talking about (they've always looked brown to me). In fact, I've always thought his mouth was one of his best features.
It's funny, I never think of him in raw sexual terms, but it's clear that sex appeal is part of what's working for him.
Not my type at all but I do think that he has a very sexy voice.

Q. When I was in my early 20s, my husband and I visited my aunt and uncle. My uncle had been drinking and tried rubbing against me and copping a feel. I got away from him and never said anything about it to anyone, as he was married to my favorite aunt (my mom's sister) and I didn't want to start any trouble. She was more like a sister to me than an aunt. They moved to another state when my uncle retired. My aunt always wanted me to visit, but I made excuses.
In 2003, she passed away, and my uncle moved back to my state. He called wanting to take me out to dinner. I told him fine and added that my 25-year-old daughter and granddaughter would love to go, thinking I would be safe with all of us. He said fine, but later called and said he didn't want my daughter and granddaughter to come. He started talking dirty to me and insinuated that I cheated on my husband. I told him he had the wrong person and hung up.
His children are two cousins I love dearly. I've never told anyone any of this. I cannot stand this man. My problem is this: He is way up in years now, maybe 90, and I'm sure he doesn't have much longer to live. I do not want to go to his funeral to show respect, as I have none. What would I say to my cousins if I didn't attend?
A. "I was feeling unwell."
Q. Help! My co-worker is driving me crazy. When I was hired, she insisted on buying me lunch despite my protests. I would buy hers to keep it even. It was expensive, and I kept trying to stop it. She refused to listen. She kept calling me her friend. I did not want to be her friend. She had a nasty reputation. I had been around her when I temped for the company, and when anyone disagreed with her, she said she had worked for a large company out east, as if that made her right.
She was divorced, and the reasons for her divorce would expand whenever she heard someone else's problems. Her life story keeps evolving, too. She was molested by a teacher; she is on several medications; she was abused by her father. She spends more than four hours a week talking to her mother at work, and the rest of her family calls her after the boss goes home. She always has a special project that keeps her from doing her share of the work. And that is the tip of the iceberg.
I am tired of the drama and of being called her friend. I treat her fairly, but would not be sorry to see her leave. We work the evening shift; the day shift does not want her, as she is too disruptive. Management is blind, as she sucks up to them. I have put up with her for almost two years and am ready to go into therapy. I am a solitary person. I don't need the stress that working with her brings.
Going Crazy
A. Unless you are a two-person night shift, I would get a petition going with your other co-workers to present to whoever is in charge. If that doesn't work, I would meet with the boss and lay it on the line. She sounds nuts. One should not have to be in therapy just to go to work. If you can't get her out of there, and if you can't find a comparable job for yourself elsewhere, tell her flat-out that you wish to be left alone, and then only respond when it concerns your work.All letters must be sent via the online form at www.creators.com/dearmargo.

Dec. 3, 2006
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Yale women's swimming team battled strong teams from Fordham, La Salle and Syracuse in the six remaining events of the Nutmeg Invitational Sunday morning. In the third session of the meet the Bulldogs had six top five finishes.
Caroline Dowd gave Yale two of those six top five finishes. Dowd added to her 2nd place in yesterday's 500 yard freestyle with another 2nd in the 1650 yard freestyle, but she wasn't far off from going one better. Her time of 17:20.41 was just shy of the winning time of 17:20.01, recorded by Fordham's Ashley Ukleja. Dowd also finished 4th in the 200 yard breaststroke.
In the 100 yard freestyle the Golden State duo of Jane Kim and Alexis Mann picked up where they left off yesterday in the 50 yard freestyle. Kim won the event in a time of 52.50 and Mann came in 4th in 53.76, adding to Kim and Mann's respective 1st and 2nd place finishes in Saturday's 50 free.
In the last event of the meet, Dowd, Mann, Kim and Sara Fracapane combined to give the Bulldogs their highest relay finish of the meet in the 400 yard freestyle relay. The quartet finished 3rd in a time of 3:38.26, just ahead of the Fordham team. That performance was punctuated by Kim's anchor leg. She swam her 100 yards of the relay in a time of 51.77, by far the fastest split in the event and faster than her winning time in the 100 yard freestyle event.
With the completion of the Nutmeg Invitational, the Bulldogs now have a winter break of over a month to train before the Ivy season kicks off in earnest. Yale's next meet will be at home, hosting Cornell and Navy on the 12th and 13th of January.

The unofficial results on Wednesday morning showed 55.66 percent of voters said no to the Canfield School district's 4.9 mill levy. The district must now look into the next round of cuts for 2012.
"There is no more time," said Canfield Superintendent Dante Zambrini. "The opportunity to bring in new money for 2012 has passed. Cuts will have to be made."
Zambrini said the last new levy was a 6.9 mill that was approved in 2002. He said the district went eight years on that money, which was expected to last five.
He said Tuesday's 4.9 mill levy came as a result of voters turning down a 6.8 mill levy last year. The Board of Education made cuts in staff and changes in busing and after-school activities to balance the budget for the school year. The decision was then made to put a lesser levy on the ballot that would not bring back the cuts already made.
Zambrini said the district is now in deficit spending and Tuesday's levy would have prevented further cuts.
"The community said 6.8 mills was too much," Zambrini said. "The board looked at phase I and II reductions and over the summer had met with all the labor groups."
He said through the meetings, Canfield school employees agreed to wage freezes, step freezes (moving up the ladder), and an increase in the percentage paid for health care costs. Those moves saved the district $1.9 million.
Adding to the savings was a cut in busing and bus drivers that saw no high school busing and a redo for K-8 bus stops. The board also accepted a pay-to-play fee that when combined with the busing issues, saved the district $550,000.
"The goal is we have to balance the budget," Zambrini said. "Reductions and concessions alone will not do that."
He also stated that Tuesday's vote was the last attempt to bring in new money in 2012, meaning the 2012-13 school year will see the next round of cuts, or what is being called Phase 3.
"We deeply regret that the 4.9 mill levy was defeated," Zambrini said. "The amount of the levy was reduced and with the retirement of the bond issue, this levy was reasonable. Many residents said the former millage was too costly. The Board of Education listened and made changes. Now the board will have to research its options. We will be cutting into a different layer of operations. It will be painful."

5 Star
Work 72,500 % Faster with this Pay Per Click Management Software!
SpeedPPC is the speed factor. You don't need to mess around with the online interface any more. Just plug-in your parameters and build them. Lots of people are thinking that it's only able to combine on geography. This is nonsense.
You can combine on almost anything.
Think about Product Names, Model Names, Model Numbers, Part Names, Book Titles, Movie Titles, Movie Stars, Music Artists, Album Names, Song Names, Brand Names, Restaurant Names, Comic Titles, Action Heroes, People's Names, Domain Names, Video Game Titles, Musical Instruments, Magazine Names, Software Titles, Occupations, Animal Types, Animal Breeds etc.
Then expand on these with words like reviews, review, free shipping, coupons, rating etc.
Now you don't even need to expand on anything. Just group by seed and create a new ad group for each keyword with a perfectly matching ad.
This is amazingly powerful because you are now writing ads that match on the keyword level, rather than the ad group level which will dramatically increase your CTR.
Try Now this Pay Per Click Management Software - 30 Days Money Back Guarantee!
The Ability To Run Full Scale Testing!
Before I developed this Pay Per Click Management Software system I used to have to test with just a few ad groups to make sure that the niche was profitable before I spent loads of time on it.
The trouble with that is that you might dismiss niches as unprofitable because you had pulled out the wrong sub-set of the niche.
Now with SpeedPPC you can just roll the whole thing out without it really taking any more time. Time is no longer such a big issue.
An Affiliate Marketing Utopia
For all you affiliate marketers, the affiliate datafeed tool (which hasn't had much press) is amazing.
What it allows you to do in practice is to take an affiliate program datafeed, create a campaign around every product, which then links into a pre-selling landing page on your own site that's matched exactly to the product keywords. This then deep links into the merchant's site via your affiliate link.
So if there are 1000 products, you could create 1000 ad groups (1 per product), thousands of perfectly matched ads that refer to the product exactly.
These will then link into 1000 landing pages with the right images and content pulled from the original datafeed, which then deep links into the affiliate merchant site.
Now this would normally take weeks or months to do manually. With the SpeedPPC System you could pull this off in half a day or less.
Click Here to Learn More about this Pay Per Click Management Software!
Highly Flexible Pay Per Click Management Software!
SpeedPPC is designed to be highly flexible and allows you to get very creative. If you take a look at one of the training videos, you will learn how to take an affiliate merchant's datafeed and pull out the product names and the deeplink URL.
So you can take 1000 products and create 1000 ad groups around that product, with perfectly matching ads, directly linking into the product page (via an affiliate link). All in less than 10 minutes.
Amazing Relevancy!
SpeedPPC helps you create amazing relevancy. Your Keyword to Text Ad to Landing Page is so tightly matched that you should experience some real improvements in your CTR's and conversions.
You can even have just one keyword per ad group, which means your ad is going to be matched on the keyword level, rather than at the ad group level. Powerful!
This also helps to ensure that you get a good quality score.
Flexible And Powerful Landing Page Options!
SpeedPPC is made so you can use almost any landing page option you want. Take a look at a few examples.
Direct link to the home page.
Link through 3rd party systems.
Direct link through affiliate links to the home page.
Deep link through affiliate links pulled out of datafeeds.
Direct link into individual website search engines to pull up the most relevant content.
Link into dynamically altered pages to suit original search keywords.
Link into the SpeedPPC Datafeed software which will pull relevant content out of the affiliates datafeed to dynamically build pages.
Now we're getting started. There are lots of other ways you can use this. Just use your creative mind!
Tracking on Three Levels!
Using the SpeedPPC System you can track on many levels including on the keyword, ad group and the ad source.

Lamah appeared to level proceedings with three minutes remaining, only for Mason to rule the goal out due to a perceived offside, despite the ball deflecting off of two West Brom players beforehand.
The decision meant that, after a goal from Romelu Lukaku and an own-goal from Jonathan de Guzman had cancelled out Luke Moore's opener, Swansea came away with nothing from a fiercely-contested tie.
"How on earth can you disallow a goal when the ball comes off an opponent? It's like giving an offside after a throw-in! Everybody knows you cannot be offside after a throw-in," he told reporters.
|BetVictor offer 12/1 on West Brom sealing a top-six spot in the Premier League this season
"From the defender, to the goalkeeper and back to Roland. So how on earth can you disallow that goal? The 'goal' should have been the equaliser, which I think would have been a fair result looking at the game overall."
West Brom manager Steve Clarke, meanwhile, admitted that the goal should have stood, though he felt his team earned their "lucky break", having deserved a win.
"We got a lucky break. It should have been given. It was a goal," he added.
"I think it came off Ben Foster last so that is fortuitous. But sometimes when you put in the effort, energy and quality we did into that game... I think we earned that little break.
"We deserved to win the game. Don't be writing down that we didn't deserve to win the game. I'm delighted because we came from behind. We don't do it very often and in the Premier League there are not too many teams that can do it."

I was thinking more of the funny science fiction novel "Shades of Grey" by Jasper Fforde where people get healed by being shown certain colors (and can even overdose on certain pleasure-inducing colors). Maybe not so far-fetched after all? It's quite amazing how many seemingly absurd elements of that story start to make sense after a while, I can't wait for part 2 and 3.

This is a very promising technology. Minimally, it is already proving invaluable for neuroscience research. What it means is that using genetic engineering (e.g. viral introduction of engineered genes into the brain) you can activate or inhibit a specific class of neurons (more precisely: neurons in which a specific genetic promoter is active) in a small brain region (using a surgically implanted optical fiber), and you can do so on the time scale of normal neuronal firing.

"Alabama can make it easy to do business. We do this with a team approach."
"We have a skilled workforce, educational partnerships, and we have a pro-business state government."
"Alabama is one of the best kept secrets in the United States."
"Whatever you need, we have a workforce training agency that is ready to go to work for you."
"Money doesn't move peoples emotions."

The US-China Manufacturing Symposium is designed to bring Chinese businesses to the Wiregrass. On the final day of the symposium, one business made the decision to open a new facility in Dothan.
Nanjing Zijin-Lead Electronics, China's largest printer manufacturer, announced it would open a 3D printer factory in Dothan. The new business will be called Dothan 3D.
Dothan Mayor Mike Schmitz signed a contract with company executives on stage at the symposium to locate a factory in Dothan.
"We're honored to have them in this community to bring hi-tech, 3D printing to Dothan," Schmitz said. "It has unlimited potential."
While the facility will be small, Schmitz says the jobs coming to Dothan will be high-paying positions. Schmitz says the new factory will also bring new, cutting edge technology to the area.
Nanjing donated six 3D printers to the area last year, and the city of Dothan has been working for more than a year to secure a contract with the company. Although the new factory has only been announced, Nanjing has already held two training seminars in Dothan.
Several economic announcements were made on the final day of the symposium. Two other businesses are opening offices in Dothan in the near future, to facilitate possible relocation of Chinese businesses to Dothan.
Wipfli Spider Logic will open an office in Dothan. Wipfli helps businesses relocate or open new facilities in the US. Wipfli's slogan is, "Solutions now. Strategies for what lies ahead."
SOZO Group Founder Raymond Cheng also announced his company would be opening a full-time office in downtown Dothan in the old US Legal building. The new office will be called the Dothan SOZO Innovation Center.
Mayor of Thomasville, AL just announced that the Chinese Company, Golden Dragon Copper Manufacturing, has opened and started production in Wilcox County, AL.
A panel containing Dothan Mayor Mike Schmitz, Manufacturing Business Leader Juliana Lam, Technologies Professional Mark Stevens, China Legal Professional Xiangrong Mei, Education and Federal Professional Jo Bonner, and Manufacturing Leader Nig Lian are all on stage now.
They are discussing maximizing the full potential of US- China Relationships.
Former Chief Executive of Hong Kong, C.H. Tung, often talks about how the US China relationship the last 30 years is stronger than at any point in history.
However, he say building a relationship by itself is not what we should strive for. Mr. Tung says while it is important to build relationships, doing it right can realize the full potential. He says realizing the full potential of the US- China relationship will make the world a better and safer place.
US Senator Sessions is on stage now talking about the how important the relationship is between the US and China.
"Alabama is open for business and we look forward to that," says Sen. Sessions.
"America is open for business. Washington is supportive of foriegn business, as well as Alabama. I am so excited about the relationship between Alabama and China. I think it is important for Alabama. I think it is important for China. And I think it is important for prosperity and peace throughout out the world."
"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad."
Dwight F. Cody, marketing manager at WIPFLi LLP, is on stage now discussing Business Canvas Mapping.
Don't forget you can watch the full symposium, LIVE from the Civic Center, on our web channel, WTVY.com.
The symposium is running a little late, but will start momentarily.

My sister's Lhasa Apso Julie (AKA "Jewels") passed away this afternoon at about 1:30.
We'd just stopped by a friends apartment after taking her in her stroller for a walk along the river. When we got inside, we put her on the floor, she twitched a bit and then she was gone. Very quiet and peaceful ... she enjoyed a beautiful morning by the river and was surrounded by people who loved her.
Julie had cancer and was 15.5 years old. Julie was our mom's dog and when my mom was no longer well enough to take care of Julie, a relative agreed to take care of her. Unfortunately, Julie suffered horribly in their care and was infested with fleas and had lost half her hair. We found about how bad it was two years ago when the relative said it was time to put Julie to sleep and we asked our Aunt to go and rescue her. Our aunt has been involved in rescue for many years and said she had never seen a case of neglect as bad as Julies.
Here are a few pictures of sweet Julie:
After she was rescued by our aunt. Her hair is shaved here. She looks sad, but much better than when she was initially rescued:

Nice writeup on extension possibilities for Votto. I have been planning to do a look at which teams may be looking for a 1b in 2013 but have been too busy of late. This will have to do for now.
Securing free agent years from the first basemen above cost a minimum average annual value of $21MM. Cabrera and Howard were two years away from free agency when they signed their contracts and Gonzalez was one year away when he signed his, but they didn't have to sign at a discount. Neither will Votto.
If the Reds wanted to lock the 2010 NL MVP up now, I expect it would cost at least seven additional years for $23MM or so per season. Adding a $161MM commitment to the $26.5MM on Votto's current contract would keep Votto in Cincinnati through his age 36 season -- the same age through which Gonzalez, Fielder, Howard and Teixeira are under contract.
