President Barack Obama: 'Real Change is Hard,' But Worth the Fight
During campaign stop with singer Katy Perry in Milwaukee Saturday that drew an estimated 20,000 people, Obama says: "I am here today because there is more work to do."
With just days to go before what will likely be a close election both in Wisconsin and nationally, thousands of people filled the Delta Center in Milwaukee Saturday afternoon to hear President Barack Obama promise to keep fighting for the middle class.
As soon as he took the podium before a crowd estimated at 20,000, Obama promised to get help to the victims of Hurricane Sandy and asked those in attendance to pray and donate to the Red Cross, if they were able to do so.
His speech then turned to his campaign theme of "Forward." His primary message was about continuing the policies of his administration to provide a voice for the middle class while also growing and supporting a strong middle class.

Obama also touched on the strength of the American spirit, but his remarks made the most impact with the crowd when he acknowledged that a lot of his supporters in 2008 got caught up in the idea of change without really recognizing how difficult it would be.
"Back in 2008, a lot of of folks got swept up in the excitement of change," he said. "Sometimes we get frustrated by speed of change, but real change is hard. Change we believe in is a change in the system."
Before Obama took the stage, several other prominent Democrats — including Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl and U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin — delivered remarks centered around the theme of moving the country forward instead of returning to what they said were the failed policies of the past.
Pop singer Katie Perry entertained before the president took the stage, where a tight red, white and blue dress with the Obama campaign logo and the word "Forward" on it.
Among the those in the crowd was Leslie Peterson of Brookfield, who agreed Obama needs another term to continue moving the country out of the recession.
"The president needs another four years to recover from the policies of the previous administration and the Republicans who supported him," she said.
Obama asked the crowd to continue fighting because without a strong middle class, the country cannot succeed.
"We've worked hard these last four years, and I am here today because there is more work to do," he said. "Our work is not yet done because this nation cannot succeed without a vibrant middle class where everybody does their fair share; where everybody is playing by same rules. That's why you elected me in 2008 and why I'm running for second term."

Which only cost us $110,000 to create each job. Which could explain why our economic outlook is so bleak.
"+ Ended war in Iraq, an unnecessary and unbudgeted war started by George W Bush.
+ Began drawdown of war in Afghanistan."
Saddam Hussein was a threat with WMDs, so it was necessary to get rid of him. The wars against Saddam Hussein and the Taliban only lasted a few weeks. We are fighting against the next brutal dictator in each of those countries.
"+ Passed necessary Wall Street reform to prevent future financial collapse.
All he did was add more stifling regulation
"+ Helped turn around auto industry."
All B.O. did was prop up the unions. GM and Chrysler would have been better off to follow Ford's example
"+ And, much, much more!"
like Benghazi (wait, I thought we were now loved in the Middle East)
Increasing the national debt by 6 TRILLION dollars

The Anti-Alinsky -
"8) Has proven he can work with others across the aisle"
Yes, hmmm, with an 87% Democratic legislator in MA, he issued 844 vetoes; the legislator overturned 750+ of those, most unanimously. He – Willard – created his own personal elevator, so he would not have to discuss legislation or be with anyone on his ride to/from his office. In addition, you thought he only had an elevator for his BMW's and his wife's Cadillac's. He never even learned any of the Republican legislator's names. He left office in MA with a 35% - King George like – approval rating. He left the state 47th in job creation and 1.2 BILLION in debt.
Willard is nothing more than anti-social, egomaniacal, anti-bipartisanship, and the typical CEO BOSS; it is "my way or the highway"… sort of sound familiar?

The Anti-Alinsky –
Willard never knew or wanted to know how government worked, he only wanted to play CEO BOSS...
"The reality of his time as Governor was quite different. Mitt Romney had the dubious distinction of vetoing over 800 measures passed by that Democrat-controlled legislature. According to the Boston Globe , in a television ad for his 2008 presidential campaign, Romney even gloated about it. ''I know how to veto," he said in the ad. "I like vetoes. I've vetoed hundreds of spending appropriations as governor.'' This endeared him to neither Democrats nor Republicans, according to the Globe.
What he doesn't say is the Legislature overrode those vetoes almost at will. When the House decided to challenge him, Romney was overridden 99.6 percent of the time: 775 to 3, according to the House minority leader's office. In the Senate, Romney was overridden every time, often unanimously.
Frustrated by not being able to manage the state like he did Bain Capital, Romney spent most of his final year outside Massachusetts, laying the groundwork for a national campaign. According to Think Progress , "Romney spent 212 days out of state — more than four days each week, on average" in 2006. He then left office with a 34 percent approval rating."

President Obama's strategy for the Walker Recall was a wise one; he did not want to alienate the voters of Wisconsin.
a) He knew most of the population in Wisconsin did not really believe in the idea of a RECALL, even though it was in the state's Constitution – and the recall, really, was more about the recall, than it was about Walker.
b) He also had better things to do for his Presidential Election.
c) He knew – as most rational people did – that his presence here would only hurt him and not help Barrett… this was all sort of a no-brainer.
Sorry I had to spell out the obvious for YOU…
1:43 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
John- So what I hear you saying is the WI recall was not important to him but it was important to everyone else. He had better things to do besides help the people who got him elected and he didn't want to be associated with the losing team.
John Wilson
2:33 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
What you read is what you read; I did not "say" anything to you.
The Recall was clearly a purely STATE issue, NOT a Presidential Election issue.
Had President Obama gotten involved with the STATE OF Wisconsin's GOVERNORSHIP issue, I am sure you President Obama Haters would have accused him of FEDERAL INTERFERENCE in your STATE GOVERNMENT!
I've really written all I am going to on this subject…

I must admit, BO sure has way with words capable of enticing people into the continued sinking ways of his past 4 years. Fortunately, many citizens realize his Hope & Change did not bring us closer to breaking with the past, but closer to the brink of complete bankruptcy and collapse. Now he wants to move Forward, is it time to jump off the cliff? You now what I see, I see GM building a bunch of junk that they are selling at a loss, Chrysler bought out by Fiat, a company that left the USA decades ago, because no one wanted their cars. Failed policies in the Middle East that have given power & weapons to unstable Rebel factions and more loss of Freedom and Civil Rights, with more of the same on the way if he's re-elected. There is no doubt that change is needed, it needs to start with the man in charge being relieved of duty. Stop The Sinking.

Obama has a record. A record of disaster. One so hideous that his reelection campaign strategy was forced to rely on Big Bird, sluts and negative campaigning. Hardly a position any American President would want to be in. Obama's yet to reach 50% of the American people. Benghazi? The truth now clearly shows Obama was forewarned of the attacks and was aware when they took place but did nothing to save the lives of those brave men. That an American President would do nothing help fellow Americans under direct fire is unfathomable and should not result in another term in office. Vote Romney! Mitt Romney will return Americans to work; he will open oil fields and enforce American interests overseas. He will actually do well for his country, unlike his corrupt predecessor Obama. He will act as an American President.

@AWD & @NObama: I hope your bigotry can be healed.
The Nation needs Obama now more than ever. Apparently the root cause for your bigotry and that of your fellow patchers is a desire to exclude americans who do not fit your "mental model" of Americans. If we created a BSC or Balanced Scorecard for America, however, we would see clearly that Obama has turned the Ship of State around.
When Obama inherited the Ship of State, it had no rudder, no propeller, and no control panel. the control panel has been refitted and put in place, despite efforts to stop progress. The Rudder has been replaced, and we have turned this aircraft carrier around from the financial ruin brought about by the Republicans, the Tea Party and the Randians. Presently, Romney is exhibiting the worst characteristics of a salesman: trying desperately to cover his tracks of lies with more mendacity: his disingenuousness is appalling: all you have to do is see through the lies and ask questions. Romney cares only for the few. and, the Truth is not something the Republicans even know any longer: Truth is unhiddenness: For the Republicans all is concealed behind veils. Finally, consider this: If Romney were in power today, our fellow Americans along the East coast would be left completely on their own: the Randian self-centered way. Therein lies the real problem with the Republican ticket- their adherence to the immoral ethics of Ayn Rand and her Objectivist philosophy. Reject Romney Ryan. Re-elect Obama.

We must publicly reject the nefarious Obama on Election Day 2012. It's too late to save what we had four years ago. It is gone. Our only choice is to take back the power on November 6th and start rebuilding from scratch. Our great Republican victories have been 1980, 1994 and 2010. Each one made me feel more alive, and more hopeful about the future of liberty. It would be nice to add 2012 to this list.

We do need President Obama and Democrats to win and we need republicans to get to work doing what they are elected to do which is work for the American people, not for corporations, not for the wealthy, not for the oil and gas companies.

Obama up by 4.2 in WI, according to the Real Clear Politics averaging of all polls (even if you believe some to be left or right leaning):
But I have to wonder what any Romney voters are thinking. Who knows Romney better than anybody? How about the state who actually voted him in before, as Governor. So let's take a moment to look at how the only state who has any working knowledge about how Romney governs, is voting...
The average of all polls, whether you believe some to be conservative or liberal leaning, still gives Obama a 20+ point lead. So my question is, why aren't more people paying attention to this? You can't shrug it off that it is MA and they always lean this way, because they voted Romney himself in as a Republican. The reality is that Romney can't even get close in this election in the only state that he has governed before, where the people actually know what you get if you vote for Romney. If he was the success that he pretends to be in MA, don't you think that he would be leading in MA or at the very least, have a close race going on there?

"In 2008, statistician Nate Silver, who runs the New York Times' FiveThirtyEight poll aggregation blog, correctly predicted all 35 Senate races and 49 out of 50 states' presidential election results (he miscalled Indiana, by a one-percent margin). Somewhat less well-known is Emory University political science professor Drew Linzer, who runs the site Votamatic. Both models, and the many more included in this category, use a smorgasbord of data, some historical and much live-updating, to build forecast models. This means tracking and averaging and assigning weights to various state and national polls, incorporating various felt economic indicators, surveying prediction markets, and so on.
What bothers many about these sites is that they tend to show an overwhelming advantage to the President's reelection campaign. As of this morning, FiveThirtyEight predicts that the President has a 85.1 percent of winning the 2012 election, with a predicted 306.9 electoral votes. If you think that's bold, Votamatic pegged the President's electoral likelihood at 332 votes. Both are a far cry away from the national polls, and even prediction markets.
4:47 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
Actually, they are not a far cry from anything. The only thing that people see in conflict, that they can reconcile in their head, is the variance between state polls and the national polling. I think that it is pretty easy to understand, but most people still don't. I'll try to explain it here. In 2008, we a perfect storm happening. First, we had the end of our 8 year national nightmare (the George W years), coming to a close. Then we had an unknown variable, which was the potential to break the racial ceiling for the presidency. Both factors put already blue states into excessively blue states and red states in the South, showed unusual support for Obama and increased turn out for him even in states that he did not ultimately win. So the national polls now are showing the ebbing of those two tides that had rose in 2008 in non competitive states, back to where they normally would be. But that loss of support in states that are already predestined to be voting for or against a Democratic candidate to begin with, are not the voters that will be predicting this election. Now we flip to the electoral college and swings states and that is all that is going to get you the votes that you need. Rent the movie Moneyball and watch the scene early in the movie when Jonah Hill explains the flaw in how mangers had been thinking. Nate SIlver literally is one of these moneyball guys and the general public still isn't following this thinking. But these odds really are correct.

The only problem with the Plethora of "Wishful Thinkers" attacking Nate Silver's methodology or statistical model or Nate himself, is… no one else even comes close to his accuracy in predicting Political Election RESULTS!
Sour grapes, hope and "Wishful Thinking" just doesn't change the FACTS…

President Obama has been successful in turning the country around after eight years of wars, corruption, greed and republican rubber stamping all spending. None of the funds were for Americans to improve the infrastructure or improve job opportunities. It was all for corporate greed, with no regulations. I remember well the lies from the Bush administration about Iraq. My husband ended up in Iraq for a year with the Army. I will never support the Grover Norquist pledging republican party for the wealthy to never pay more taxes. No ones health care costs have gone up because of the Affordable Care Act. It has not gone into effect to cause any increases. But your insurance companies sure can be gouging you and that has nothing to do with the health care that will be available starting in 2014. Young people are now covered on their parent's health care plans. Many improvements have been made to Medicare and it has been extended for several years by cutting out fraud, waste and abuse.

Young kids are now covered under parents healthcare plans . . . . why? Why don't they get jobs and pay for there own healthcare, I have since I was 18. Is it because there are very few jobs available, especially full-time that provide healthcare? Something is really wrong in the USA, Obama hasn't fixed anything except for his retirement fund and helped out those who are too lazy to take an available job to put food on the table.

Since January, 2009 for every net new job created the country added 75 people to the food stamp rolls.

@Daniel S. I have no problem have my kids under my healthcare coverage;They go to collage and I get a better paying career then working at age 18 and get no where.
Getting their own healthcare is secondary and a privilege for parents to help their kids into the world.

We now have with Mr. Romney even more torture tactics for interrogations, and both Obama and Romney approve of drone strikes that kill innocent civilians, military commissions, the NDAA 2012 indefinite detention of American citizens w/o charges or trials, assassinations of American citizens w/o charge or trial by Presidential executive order, and the anti-civil liberties Patriot Act all approved by both Obama and Romney. Frankly, why would anyone be cheering for this anti-American slashing of civil liberties? Becoming more barbarian is not something most Americans would condone. Humanity should be seeking something better of itself. Gary Johnson of the Libertarian ticket has a financial plan for America, will restore civil liberties, and bring the world some much-needed peace to our violent-driven world. It is more than enough time on our planet for sanity to be reigning.
Former wildly successful Gov of New Mexico, Gary Johnson, will be debating the very articulate and thoughtful Dr. Jill Stein (Green party) in the final Presidential debate scheduled for Tues. evening, Oct. 30th at 9:00 Eastern time. Tune in Tuesday night next week in to hear what you are missing - a different vision on how to get out of the mess we're in.

"Consider Gary Johnson
This is not an election of Romney vs. Obama. This is anti-Obama vs. anti-Romney. No one really likes either candidate. No one is inspired by either of them. As a Republican, clearly Obama is not on your team, but neither is Romney. Certainly not our team leader."
Both Romney and Obama will drive full speed towards the cliff. The only difference is Obama will drive a little faster, but it's a negligible difference, and certainly not one worth spending energy on.
Our only hope to prevent a bleak dystopian scenario from unfolding is to send a powerful NO!! in the face of the forces that are pushing us there."

Where are these Gary Johnson trolls coming from? I can't remember ever seeing Gary Johnson's name appear on these comment boards all year. I think we have some Progressives trying to stir the 3rd Party pot. Won't work...Gary Johnson is a nutcase who hates Jews and has hardly any support in America. I know a guy who voted for Gary Johnson, he hates Jews as well. I've never met a Gary Johnson, Ron Paul type that doesn't hate Jewish people.

There are so many reasons not to elect Mitt Romney. The main one being his pathological lying and refusal to do anything but lie. Facts don't agree with you republicans, but facts they are that Romney was not the least bit bipartisan in MA and is now claiming that he was and would be. Romney is a one percenter for the one percent and he will return the country to the extremely failed policies of the Bush administration and has hired many of those Bush advisers. President Obama came into office with the economy in the tank. Banks were in meltdown. People were losing jobs and the country was in a serious recession. President Obama got to work with the Recovery Act to help every state to keep their employees in jobs and working to create jobs. Two million jobs were created. Saving the American car industry was a risky move but one that President Obama took for all the workers and people whose jobs are connected to the car industry. Thousands of jobs were saved and the auto industry is back. Romney is lying about Jeep moving jobs to China which is a lot of nerve since China is one of Romney's favorite places to ship jobs leaving Americans without jobs or hope. Jeep is doing great in America and will be hiring more workers to keep up with their production. We are not going to allow republicans to allow the Grover Norquist fealty pledgers against taxes to be in charge with their agenda to end all the programs that Americans need to live as senior citizens.

Obama is a talker. But we need someone to walk the walk, rather than talk the talk. No matter what he inherited... he did not do nearly enough with it... and his biggest accomplishment, Obamacare, is one where he inserted his pet cause (redistribution of wealth) to muck it up. Rather than focusing on policies to reduce costs for all classes, he focused on policies to assist the lower class via not passing savings on to other classes. There was a time article on this, regarding when Obamacare goes into effect it is projected to have no positive impact on middle class families. They expect no negative impact either... but that still leaves it a non-solution. In the past week, I talked to someone who had a toenail drilled into to relieve pressure... and it was a $1000 bill. Another person had a digestive exam where they were put under and had a camera inserted to check things out. For a one hour exam, that bill was $14,000. THAT is all at the heart of what is wrong with healthcare... both services were billed at a rate that I tend to think is a good 10 times what it should be. One was a 5 minute procedure at $1000... the other was an hour procedure that could have paid 100 people $100 for that hour AND still had $4000 left over for any equipment rental or drug costs. THAT stuff is what is wrong and Obamacare is not focused on that.
Anyway, Obama is a big talker... I hope on Nov 6th we release his obligations as president and free him up for the talk circuit!
Daniel S.
11:16 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
Thanx JW, from the beginning I was thinking similarly; Healthcare costs are out of control. Who cares if you can afford insurance, if you cannot afford the balance after the insurance paid their share? The cost of care is what needs to be made affordable!

Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
How is BioLogos different from Evolutionism, Intelligent Design, and Creationism?
We at BioLogos believe that God used the process of evolution to create all the life on earth today. While we accept the science of evolution, we emphatically reject evolutionism. Evolutionism is the atheistic worldview that says life developed without God and without purpose. Instead, we agree with Christians who adhere to Intelligent Design and Creationism that the God of the Bible created the universe and all life. Christians disagree, however, on how God created. Young Earth Creationists believe that God created just 6,000 to 10,000 years ago and disagree with much of mainstream science. Supporters of Intelligent Design accept more of evolutionary science, but argue that some features of life are best explained by direct intervention by an intelligent agent rather than by God's regular way of working through natural processes. We at BioLogos agree with the modern scientific consensus on the age of the earth and evolutionary development of all species, seeing these as descriptions of how God created. The term BioLogos comes from the Greek words bios (life) and logos (word), referring to the opening of the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made."

A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 1
The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
America's View on Evolution and Creationism (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about science and faith in America. The graphic uses data from Gallup Research, The New York Times, and the Pew Research Center to show what Americans currently believe about the origins of humans.
Creation? Which Creation?
In addressing the subject of creation, William P. Brown contends that there is not one story but seven contained in the sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The books of Genesis, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah each provide unique perspectives of the natural world.
Mitochondrial Eve, Y-Chromosome Adam, and Reasons to Believe
When presented with the evidence for human population sizes over our evolutionary history, a common point of confusion for evangelicals is how this evidence fits with Mitochondrial Eve. How can we all come from one woman (and one man) but also come from a large population of 10,000 individuals?
A Young Earth Creationist's Perspective
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
From the Dust: Evolutionary Creation
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Series: Mesopotamian Cosmic Geography in the Bible
In this six part series, Brian Godawa takes a closer look at cosmography and its relationship to the Bible. After defining cosmography as a theory that describes features of the heavens and the earth, he relates how his own views about the universe have shifted. He then continues to talk about the Mesopotamian cosmography that is so consistently reflected in Scripture. This view of the universe includes aspects such as the firmament, the pillars, the underworld, the heavens above, the watery abyss. He then explains how one understands these concepts in terms of modern scientific thought.
On the Creation Account
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
Biblical Creation in its Ancient Near Eastern Context: An Introduction
It has been my experience that many Christians have not given sufficient thought to how the Old Testament was composed––that is, to the "human" side of the inspiration of Scripture.
What Are We to Make of Adam and Eve?
There are those who would say that Adam and Eve designate specific historical figures. That makes some sense, acknowledges theologian Alister McGrath, but it makes even more sense to say that Adam and Eve are figures that encapsulate the human race as a whole.
Scripture vs. the Facts? Working through a Crisis of Understanding
I'm a conservative evangelical. When I became a Christian fourteen years ago, I not only embraced profound new spiritual perspectives, but inherited a host of new scientific views: the earth was young, macro-evolution was false, and to affirm the contrary was to discredit the Bible and even the Gospel.

The Ispell and Aspell command line spellcheckers
Nobody is safe from typos and jumbled up words. Spellcheckers like Ispell and Aspell keep the letters in the right places.
Spellcheckers in office packages and mail programs help find typos and suggest alternative spellings. Ispell and Aspell proofread your files at the command line, and, although they can't replace a good dictionary, they are extremely reliable helpers.
Ispell is a mature application that has been on various Unix derivatives for many years now. The GNU project introduced Aspell as a potential successor. Aspell comes with dictionaries for various languages and can handle UTF-8 (in contrast to Ispell).

WILMINGTON -- The Supreme Court's ruling has many college students breathing a sigh of relief at least for now.
Thursday's healthcare ruling didn't seem to distract many UNC Wilmington students from their studies but most of them knew the decision would affect them in some way, if not today, in the future.
"I just knew they were forcing people to get health care," said Brittney Fairfax, a UNCW student.
"Obama Care instills a lot of positive reinforcement in me," said Ethan Warlick, also a student.
The positive being students and young adults under 26 years old can stay on their parents healthcare plan.
"I am trying to go on to grad school and I know that accumulating debt through education is going to be a tricky thing for me so all the support that I can get from my parents through this part of my life is very good," said Warlick.
Having health insurance is not an option in the UNC system. If students aren't covered by their parents, the school offers a policy. College officials said that their plan is affordable and they don't see the reform changing that.
"I don't think this will result in a price increase for students who are getting coverage from a student health plan because they are still a really healthy risk pool so insurers would love to cover 20-30 year-olds," said Kae Livsey, with the School of Nursing.
Some of the students were concerned about what this will mean once they are out of college.
"I'll definitely be concerned about what it will cost and that's definitely a problem," said Robert Vasil, a student.
Many students said that they fear being over 26-years old, out of college, and having to pay for health insurance or pay a tax.
"I am worried that if I don't get a career by then and I am still struggling money-wise that, that's going to hit me," said Warlick.
So for now, most college students are feeling good about their health insurance situation; it's the future that makes them a little uneasy.

Reports from France

No need to feed it daily, just made to highlight major (and less major) facts relevant to temperatures, precipitations, and some exceptional events.
Posted --
November : coldest temperature ever for that month in Orleans, Loire valley : down to -15.3�C (30th November 2010). The record has been broken by nearly 6�C ! (previous : -9.5�C on 23rd November 1956)
Explanations : why is it so cold in Western Europe currently ? In French : (link to a website).
-8�C to -15�C in northern France, England, Wales, Belgium...
...whereas it has been +15�C to +19�C (!!!) in Greenland, +25�C in Bulgaria and +30�C in Greece.
All these temperatures are of course abnormal.

Records of snowfall heights in Normandy and in Brittany : up to 60 cm (24 inches) in the interior of the lands.
Cherbourg, by the sea, has had 30 cm (a record as well).

Wednesday 8th December 2010, average temperatures :
northern half : MIN = 0°C, MAX = 3°C
southern half : MIN = 9°C, MAX = 17°C
Believe me, it is quite rare to have such a disparity between North and South ; a difference of 2 to 4 degrees (in terms of averages) is more usual whereas we'll have 9 degrees of difference in the morning and 14 degrees (!!!) in the afternoon.

Heavy snowfalls in the Greater Paris region have caused strong traffic jam today...

Heavy snowfall ( 8 December )
Heavy snowfall put the French capital Paris into disarray. The Eiffel Tower was closed, and Charles de Gaulle airport had to remain closed for parts of the day. A weather station in Paris have measured 11 millimeters of rain, that is 11 centimeters of snow, during the day, it was stated as the most snowfall in metropolitan area since 1987.
The national traffic information center in France used only one word to characterize the situation: "Disaster."
At midday today, all bus routes at a standstill in Paris. On the motor roads in and around the city, it was sometimes impossible to travel.

Heavy amounts of snow will occur in the North-East (Orange Alert has been decreed for some departments in Lorraine and in Champagne-Ardenne). link
French Authorities are on the alert for this happening since the Parisian chaos, which made the population very angry (in particular against the Minister of the Interior, Brice Hortefeux 666 ).

In this evening tv-news, they also showed snow in other European countries : traffic jams in Germany and in Belgium, closed Airports, snow in Italy, low temperatures in Spain and... they also said that this December 2010 is probably the coldest ever since 1910 in the UK, despite being surrounded by relatively warm waters (that's how it was said).

Go to chapters 2 to 4 to hear "France under a new snowy offensive" ;
...chapter 5 to hear "Island of Beauty (Corsica) under the snow" ;
...chapter 8 to hear "coldness & snow hit also all Western Europe" : Switzerland, Germany, Spain, and even South Italy !

Normally I'm not a big fan of particle board but this unit is sturdy and looks great with the rest of our real wood furniture. As others have stated, it was difficult to find a king-sized bookcase-style wooden headboard and when I found this one, I was a bit skeptical. But now I'm completely happy with result and I feel like I got more than my money's worth. It's 100% worth the price and I would 100% recommend it. Also, I put most of it together by myself fairly easily but it is easier, quicker and safer to have two people put the final parts together.

So glad we bought this!!

Comments about Prepac Monterey King Bookcase Headboard in Cherry Finish:
We needed a bookcase headboard for our king size bed to give us more room in our bedroom and eliminate nightstands, but did not want to spend a fortune. The quality was quite impressive for being so inexpensive. The backboard was thin and cheap, and came broken, but we liked the headboard better without it! The case is very sturdy and thick and we are very pleased with our purchase!
great for the price
By Mikey
from Columbus,OH
The only bad thing I can say is that I had to force the frame into the legs of the head board due to the decorative molding, and drill my own holes to attach frame to head board. Maybe it was the frame I bought, not sure. But overall this is a great product for the price. Seems like will last for many years to come.
I was very surprised with the product
By Dick
from Portland Oregon GO DUCKS
This product is used with our master bed and fits in very well. The quality of workmanship and finish is extra ordinary. We have some snowbird friends from BC who will be stopping by on their way home and we will show them the headboard and boost to them about their Canadian product.

Wow! This is a great headboard!
By Jan the Supervisor
from Roanoke, Texas
The king size bookcase headboard works perfect with our new king size bedframe and mattress. [...] After counting and sorting all the pieces (which were all there), my husband finished the project in about three and a half hours. We are delighted with the headboard!

Great Head Board and Price!
By Jerry in Chicago
from Chicago
The head board looks great and was easy to assemble. [...] It is however very heavy to move [...] I love it!
Good Product
By Tom N
from Palo Alto, CA
This product is exactly as described and is very good. I am happy with it, because not only it makes the bedroom look better, but also because the shelf space is very useful. The only down side is that it requires a lot more work and enough space to assemble than for example a usual [...]product. The bright side to it is that it has better quality than [...]product.
Looks great!
By Kates

My husband had no problem in assembling the headboard. I am very satisfied with it! Very servicaable. Thank you!

Here are some strategies to find whatever toy your child wants, without having to pay exorbitantly on eBay or elsewhere.
SHOP EARLY: Jim Silver, an analyst at Timetoplaymag.com, predicts the hottest toys will be scarce by Dec. 1 — a time when many people are just starting to think about Christmas gifts.
MAKE A RESERVATION: Fortunately, this year stores are making it easy to shop early, with layaway services and other offers. So even if you don't have the cash yet, you can still start shopping. Toys R Us, Wal-Mart and Kmart have dropped fees, minimum balances, and other requirements to make it easier than ever to use layaway programs. In addition, Toys R Us this year launched a "hot toy" reservation system, which lets parents reserve hot toys before they even hit shelves.
GO ONLINE: Not only can ordering toys online make shopping quicker and easier, it's also a trove of information. Check out a brand's Facebook page or Twitter hashtag to find other people looking for the same toys who may have tips on where to find them. In addition, using a shopping cart on Amazon may help you save money. Amy Barseghian, mother and blogger at mommy-mentor.com, recommends filling up your Amazon cart with toys — but waiting to actually buy them. If an item in your cart gets cheaper, Amazon will send you an alert.
BE SMART ABOUT STORE STOCKING: The days of running from store to store trying to find the hot toy are over, because most stores have added online services that can tell you which location has a product in stock. Many also offer ship-to-store options or same-day delivery. If they don't, Vanek recommends calling before you go. If the store doesn't have an item, make them do the work of calling other locations to locate what you want. Timing is key, Emily Vanek, mother of three sons and owner and editor of ColoradoMoms.com, says. She advises, if possible, to go shopping at lunch on Fridays, when stores are freshly stocked right before the weekend rush.
"That's how we scored quite a few toys," she says.
ENLIST YOUR FRIENDS: Your best weapon for finding hot toys may be your social circle. Vanek says she makes a list of all the toys on her list and then shares it with her friends, who also have their own lists.
"We all know what each other's kids want, so if we see something, we'll buy it and swap later," Vanek says. If the other person already has that toy, just return it. "It beats looking for something on eBay and spending two or three times as much."

Lesson Plans
The Education team at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery has developed lesson plans that correspond to the Gallery's Collection and special exhibitions. Lesson plans will be added for future exhibitions and other collection highlights.
Introduction to Lesson Plans
Before beginning a lesson plan, please read the "Information for Educators," which contains general information about the artist and the artwork that may be useful.
Always remember, when talking about a work of art with your students, there are no wrong answers to questions about personal responses to a work of art. If your students come up with unexpected or surprising answers to your questions, ask them to explain, if they can.
You can start looking at art by asking students what they notice or think. Then, share factual information you have learned from "Information for Educators" when necessary or appropriate.
Discussing works of art has been shown to increase student literacy skills, especially spoken word skills. ("Guggenheim Study Suggests Art Education Benefits Literacy Skills," The New York Times, July 27, 2006.)
We hope you will enjoy learning more about your students from their responses while you discover the wonderful works of art in the Collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. We would love to have feedback about our lesson plans. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com with responses, questions, or suggestions.

The object is simple enough in Chinese Checkers. Each player starts with 10 plastic marbles situated in the point of a star. During the game, players move their marbles across the board until they're all neatly settled in the opposite point. The fun comes in designing a strategy that allows marbles to move more than one space at a time. Clever players will position some of their marbles as jumping stations. With a good jump route, players can move marbles greater distances in a single turn. But they should be aware that the opposition can make use of the same route. As the game progresses, players will end up jumping their own marbles and any others that fall conveniently in their path. For two to six players, the first player to get their marbles across the board wins. featuring a ancient Chinese dragon motif, the cardboard game board is 12 inches square. Six sets of marbles come in solid red, yellow, blue, green, black, and white.
Colorful gameboard and 60 plastic marbles. Ages 7 adult.

330cc, 33bhp, mph, Insurance group
At under £5000 the X10 is cheaper than many of its rivals, and feels much more sophisticated. The only version of the X10 coming to scooter-resistant Britain is the 350 in high spec executive guise, though much of Europe gets a 125 and 500 too, in two spec levels. No problem, the 350 is the best and aside from top speed, as ...
647cc, 60bhp, 108mph, Insurance group
A competent maxi scooter with a claimed 108mph top speed and armchair comfort. Well equipped, with ABS and electronically adjustable screen as standard, plus two glove boxes and a large under-seat compartment. Optional heated grips and seat available in a 'Highline' version for an extra £750. Not as nimble or fast as the C600 Sport model despite sharing the same ...
Genuinely sporty for a scooter, with a claimed 108 top speed, sharp handling and aggressive styling. Well equipped, with ABS and a manually adjustable screen as standard, plus two glove boxes and a clever expandable under-seat compartment. Optional heated grips and seat available in a 'Highline' version for an extra £850. Much sportier than the C650 GT touring model despite ...
839cc, 76bhp, 126mph, Insurance group
The world's most powerful ever scooter is loads of fun but has an unfinished feel, with iffy suspension and a lack of attention to detail. If outrunning hot hatches on a step-thru is you're thing, you'll love it. If you buy it believing Aprilia's claim that it corners like a sports bike, you'll be disappointed. It's essentially a tweaked and ...
124cc, 15bhp, mph, Insurance group
The SR Max 125 is a nice little city scooter, with bags of weather protection and comfort for longer journeys. Struggles at speeds above 40mph, but at town speeds it's perfectly adequate. Handling is spot on. If you want an all year round scoot with good wether protection the SR Max 125 is a great choice.
You get all the style and cool of an original Vespa, wrapped up in a package with modern reliability and running gear. If you're commute is primarily on busy city roads the engine and handling are spot on. But the GTS struggles out on the open road.
123cc, bhp, mph, Insurance group
The Vespa PX125 has essentially remained unchanged since its introduction in 1977, but it doesn't feel 35 years old. Subtle changes to keep the Vespa up to date and to get it through Euro 3 emissions regulations mean it feels similar to a modern scooter, only with a two-stroke, manual engine. It doesn't handle like a sportsbike - but a ...
278cc, 22bhp, 80mph, Insurance group
The 278cc engine gives the Beverly plenty of poke around town and out on the road and the handling inspires confidence. It looks slightly girly in pictures, but in the flesh it's not so bad, especially from the saddle, but it's definitely aimed at stylish city folk. Quite what possesed anybody to name it Beverly is anyone's guess, but Piaggio ...
530cc, 46.5bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 9
The sports maxi-scooter that started it all. As close as you'll get to motorcycle handling in scooter form. The T-Max can tour, scratch and commute as good or better than many middleweight conventional bikes. But ABS isn't standard, it lacks the innovative features found on other maxi-scoots and the price is getting dangerously close to £9K.
The Yourban 125 is certainly not cheap, but you can't put a price on confidenc, which is exactly what the extra front wheel gives. The 300cc version is less than £1000 more expensive, has more power and can be ridden on a car licence.

fuck kubo, making yama go out like a lil bitch
avatar and sig made by kyosuke
I am the KING of the bleachtards *period*
no one can tell me otherwise
anyone can challenge me
thats just one more NOOB i'd be glad to PWN
Didn't like the chapter.
Aizen planned all the fights Ichigo had?
Yeah right...
Kind of surprised that no one actually seem to agree with me or even slightly noticed that Aizen did, yes I theorized this many months ago, and this very well explains Aizen's interest in Ichigo. I am not surprised reading this at all and I am glad my only preduction of this manga is right XD
What POW mentioned about Aizen being Ichigo's half-brother is kinda interesting. They don't look alike at all though so I don't think so. Regardless, this has obviously to do with the Soul King's Key and its nature. We don't know about anything more than it requires a hell lot of souls to create it. I am expecting an explanation next chapter as to what the Soul King's Key truly is.
Avatar and signature by me.
I did say his bankai was the bleach script....guess I was right
Still it was a pretty decent chapter
Its very possible that Aizen has controlled who Ichigo has fought until now.
I liked the chapter and Yama is finally dead.............hopefully.
I couldnt agree more, and indeed, the old fart needs to die...else Bleach is really turning into some corny shit that everyone gets to be resurrected/ u only die after uve shown ur bankai.
I also think there's gonna be a major plot twist, there must be a reason why he was checkin up on Ichigo's progression/didnt use hollowfication on himself/embedded the hougyoku within himself.
Aizen's too overpowered to be funny...
At this rate, the only way he'll lose is by technicality.
ie: all of soul society giving their reatsu to ichigo who does one massive strike... while all of soul society is chanting "we believe!"
One example: How could he control which way Ichigo would take when they broke into SS? he could also go the way Chad took, or Ishida and Orihime.
It would be a gamble whether he would fight with Kenpachi or not.
Or how could Aizen provoke Ishida to compete with Ichigo? I don't think he could control Ishida's actions.

Presented by the Center for Professional Values and Practice & IILP
New York Law School April 15-16, 2011
Got an idea about the future of U.S. legal education? Think it's time to go clinical? Or global? Or virtual? Should law be combined with other fields of study at the graduate or undergraduate level?
There is no shortage of commentary about the challenges facing American law schools. Driven by the Carnegie Foundation's highly critical 2007 report and the dramatic downturn in large firm associate hiring, law school deans and administrators are scrambling to predict the future and position themselves within a rapidly changing market. But what is the likely shape of the future market—or markets—for legal education? What are the most promising models for delivering education and training in those markets? And how do we get there from here?
Future Ed is a year-long contest of ideas for innovation in legal education, focusing on ways to improve quality while reducing cost. Co-hosted by Harvard Law School and New York Law School, the project has brought together educators, lawyers, clients, regulators, and legal entrepreneurs to design and test potential innovations in the law school curriculum, teaching methods, and the use of technology. Thirty proposals were presented at Harvard Law School in October, 2010 and the best will be refined and presented at New York Law School on April 15 and 16. Interested? Questions? Please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

You stupid arogant ass!! "Why doesn't if fell like it"!!?!?!
Its morons like you who think they know everything but don't know squat and VOTE that scares the heck out of me.
You can call me names and claim I know nothing but you don't argue one point with any intellect.
I agree you are a big picture thinker, you get all your info. off the 50" big screen in your living room and you must think how long you need to watch the crap.
You don't know that politicians throw us voters things we cry for and keep the rest for the rich?? Examples, again the wasteful military, abortion, guns and laws against gays are just a couple. The things that don't really make any difference to the rich upper class who rules the world they give us just to get votes, and it works.
As for the dogs I will stay on the porch with the poor working people while you go out into the yard with the dogs and the drop more senseless crap for working people to step in. A prime example is taxes, you live in Alices Wonderland on that subject.

real eyes realize real lies - open up your third eye because most of us are blinded. From the words you were taught as a child that tells you "this is a tree" when you see a tree - question it .. i mean is it really a tree? who decided to call it a tree? why can't it be a bus? why are we taught as babies with the clothes we were given that boys like blue and girls like pink? question the air you breath. is it really that clean? question everything you read, especially the ones that claim to be to the Truth, or those that try to lay out the history of the world. I do not care about -isms and -ists, republican or democrat, socialist or conservative, any religion, and anything else that divides us all. What I find in common with most of us is that we are all pawns in the global chess game. Stray from your path, fight outside those little square boxes on the board, and stop fighting against other pawns!

Union County High School wide-receiver T.J. Foster has decided to take his football talents to Louisville next year. The 6-foot-3, 175-pound 2014 prospect received two offers in early March (one from Louisville and one from Eastern Carolina). On Friday, he sported a Cardinals t-shirt around UCHS before declaring his intentions and making a verbal commitment to Louisville.
"I visited Louisville back in April and I really like the campus," said Foster. "I also like the coaches and the school's academic program."
Foster was a critical piece of the puzzle for Union County last year and his progression during the Jackets' state championship run was especially remarkable.
Union County Head Coach Steve Taneyhill began utilizing Foster's speed on both sides of the ball towards the end of last season, a move that paid dividends. Foster snagged three touchdowns and an interception against Wren in the first round of 3A playoffs. He also scored on a 42-yard touchdown reception against A.C. Flora to to help the Jackets advance to the Upperstate Championship.
"T.J. was our best wide receiver in the playoffs," said Taneyhill. "He has great hands and he catches nothing in on his body. He'll have to work at Louisville, but he's going into a good situation with them moving to the ACC and I really like Coach (Charlie) Strong. This is a great opportunity for T.J."
Foster feels good about his decision.
"I think I should fit in well at Louisville," he said. "I really like their offense. I think my speed and ability to make big plays will really help me be an impact player there."
