Hoax Warning! Hello, my FB friends: I want to stay privately connected with you
A Facebook update that has appeared in different forms in the past and currently doing the rounds on people's walls reads:
Hello, my FB friends: I want to stay PRIVATELY connected with you. I post shots of my family that I don't want strangers to have access to!!! However, with the recent changes in FB, the "public" can now see activities in ANY wall. This happens when our friend hits "like" or "comment" ~ automatically, their friends would see our posts too. Unfortunately, we can not change this setting by ourselves because Facebook has configured it this way. PLEASE place your mouse over my name above (DO NOT CLICK), a window will appear, now move the mouse on "FRIENDS" (also without clicking), then down to "Settings", click here and a list will appear. REMOVE the CHECK on "COMMENTS & LIKE" and also "PHOTOS". By doing this, my activity among my friends and family will no longer become public. Now, copy and paste this on your wall. Once I see this posted on your page I will do the same. Thanks!
Want to Get the Word Out? Consider Marketing with Social Media
Creating a social media marketing plan is a necessity in today's world, a world where over 90 percent of Americans have at least one social media profile. If you have been avoiding using social media or the internet in general for marketing purposes then you're behind the curve. Using social media is a great way to connect directly with your consumers at the one place they spend time every single day. Here are three reasons that marketing through social media can be greatly beneficial to your brand.
Increase Your Web Traffic
A profile on a social media network is a necessity for any new or established business, there's a good chance that consumers are more likely to search for you on Facebook than they are on Google. When you've established that presence it's important to make sure you use your profile to attract people to your official website. This type of marketing can increase your traffic significantly by doing nothing more than creating a profile for your business. The more social media sites you frequent the larger potential audience you can lure in.
Use Social Media as a PR Machine
It's important to stay in touch with your consumers on the internet and large companies have discovered that when people have opinions they tend to spread quickly. By establishing a social media presence you can stay on top of the news by responding to it immediately as it breaks, not waiting to see negative publicity plastered all over the news several days later. By using sites like Twitter you can give your consumers direct access to you and respond to their feedback immediately, placating them and easing any hostility they would feel towards you.
Online BackUp – Life or Death For Business
Online Backup Service is hugely important for the smooth functioning of your company operations; there are no two ways about it. Gone are the days when you would feel secure taking backups of your crucial company data on discs. It almost seems archaic today given that such traditional means are not only cumbersome and prone to human error, but they are quite expensive as well. And thanks to professional companies that offer you brilliant online backup options, things have been made a lot easier for you.
Now you can ensure that your company operations are managed effectively from different parts of the world and projects, delivered on time because of these new age backup services. Support of a quality professional service is all you need to give your business that massive boost and what's more, save costs for your company in the long run.
But that's where the key lies too; you have to take the effort to find the best professional service to work with and this can take some ground work on your part. You can't just work with the first company that makes lofty claims; you need to verify those promises they make and after careful consideration trust them with all important data of your company.
The Digital Video Production Revolution
Motion picture is a relatively recent art and previously specialist equipment, hard-learned skills, and labour demands have all been barriers for the layman to get involved. When executed properly, nothing can compete with video to communicate a story or a message precisely because it is with our eyes that we absorb the most information. And for good reason, because it is our sight and how we interpret our surroundings that historically would have been the most valuable skill that we possessed to stay alive.
When it worked, fortunes when made and when it failed, it could bring down whole movie studios and reputations.
Development of the technology has been slow, as demonstrated by the fact that it is only in recent times that the technology of old was replaced by a realistic alternative – that is the latest developments in digital video production compared to the decades of 35mm celluloid use. In between these two periods, arguably it was the camcorder market of the 1980s that kickstarted much of what was to come, but the results were often heavily compromised due to the quality and fragility of home video tape technology. Even among the professionals, video was always a compromise. When rock band Queen wanted to film their 1981 concert in Montréal, someone in their management had the wild idea of filming it on expensive 35mm as opposed to video tape. Released decades later on Blu-ray this concert footage perfectly demonstrates to even a layman the compromises video tape technology brought to home media by contrasting it with what was otherwise possible. Old TV video footage is easily dated by its lacklustre appearance but the bright and clear footage of Freddie Mercury is freakily stunning. The forced trade-off was obviously down to cost and it was only Queen's international success that allowed them to use this technology.
Five Secrets from the Experts on How to Select a Video Production Company for Your Real Estate Needs
The use of videos as a marketing tool is a popular tactic. Many companies are taking on the new tactic as a way to generate interest in their company. Some companies choose to purchase the software to create their videos in house while other companies choose to employ a video production company to do the work for them.
Hiring a video production company is a great idea if you want to create a video since most of the software available in the market is not necessarily user friendly. These companies are knowledgeable on their topic, can help you choose the right type of video, help you market your video, write your script and handle every aspect so that you can continue to focus on your business. This is not only an issue of quality and expertise it is also a time savings issue. Creating a professional quality video from scratch can take endless hours. One of the main challenges in video production of properties is the effective management of poor lighting inside most homes and creating a sense of movement and dynamic transitions where there are none.
But you can't just Google "video production company" and choose the first company that pops up. You need to choose the right company, and you need to take the time and interview a few different companies before making your final decision. When it comes time to choosing a video production company, make sure you use the following tips.
The Changing Appearance Of The Electronic Cigarette
The electronic cigarette has come a long way in its short life. The first electronic cigarette went on the consumer market in 2004 and since that time not only have they gained momentum in terms of popularity but it has also changed its appearance many times over. Many people expect an e-cig to look exactly like an analogue in terms of appearance and althoug these types are still very much available, it is fair to say that some devices look nothing like a conventional cigarette! Some are more similar in appearance to shisha pipes and are available in a variety of different sizes, shapes and colours. That's before we even start on all the different accessories that are available to complement your e-cig.
Valuable SEO Tips for Beginners
Generally speaking, SEO is one of the most popular topics on the Internet. Owing to the fact that more and more people are trying to make money online, getting on the first pages of search engine results has become the most important thing for them. Furthermore, you can never become visible in search engine results if you do not use SEO techniques for your written content, and this is a fact that every fresh Internet marketer will have to understand before they do anything online.
SEO – Is It Search Engine Optimization or Severely Essential Optimization?
Yes, this might sound like an overstatement, but SEO truly is extremely important for all of your online efforts. Can you even imagine writing a book and not telling anyone about it? Could this book ever be a bestseller without a good marketing campaign? No, and this is exactly why you should use SEO techniques in all of your web content – SEO will make sure people see your content, and this will eventually result in your website or blog becoming more popular and ranked higher in search engine results.
What Should You Keep in Mind as a Beginner?
Keep Your Darkest Secrets Safe
The internet is a marvellous invention as it allows us to communicate with each other in unlike any way that we were able to before. The previous most effective method of communication would have been TV and radio which, although still very popular to this day, only allows communication one way. TV programs could be very entertaining and very informative but shouting at the screen because Wayne Rooney has missed yet another golden opportunity for England does nothing but make you lose your voice.
Although the internet may not be able to make Wayne Rooney play well for his country, it does at least allow two way communications with many people over a long distance. Should there be something you want to disagree with, something you would like to share or a question you would like to ask then the internet allows us to do so instantly and to a large audience. Being able to both receive and send information also has its drawbacks, however, because it could allow people to access your site for nefarious purposes. If your website holds a lot of very sensitive information such as a cure to cancer or the truth behind who shot JR, it may well be at risk from people that wish to get access to your secrets. Your website will be held on a server, which is basically another computer, and that server should be well protected against attack from the internet.
How Social Media Can Help
You may use social media to keep up with friends and family or get notified when your favorite stores are having sales. But social media has become a powerful tool to be wielded in the age of electronic media.
These days, instead of sending a letter to try and save your favorite show from the impending doom of cancellation, you can simply use your social media platform and watch the numbers of protesters grow within seconds.
The Power of Twitter
You may get on Twitter to chat about SEO services or what you've done that day. But hardcore fans of the almost cancelled NBC show "Community" took to their feeds to protest cancellation of their beloved favorite show. Fans were all encouraged to watch the show a certain day, which of course pulled ratings up to an all-time high. The show was brought back from the brink of cancellation. There is definitely power in the numbers of social media and its followers!
Immediacy of Social Media
What's so amazing about social media is the immediacy of it. The campaign to save Community couldn't have been done with letter writing or online petitions, even. Taking to Twitter to tell fans how to save the show was the fastest and best way to reach the legions of people in that particular demographic.
How To Set Up A Wireless Home Network
Image by seantoyer
Most people today have wireless networks within their home, but few have the knowledge of how to set everything up correctly. The initial setup instructions may help, but later on issues can arise that could easily be prevented. Problems usually arise when two people are using the Internet at once since the Internet connection does not know how to handle all the information at one time. Luckily with some easy setup tips anyone can get their network running at top speed and ready for anything.
Every Router Is Different
The first thing to note is that there is no designated guide for every type of router. As such the individual must figure out how to enter their router's settings. This is usually done by typing 192.168.1.1 into a browser window, but this number can be somewhat different depending on the router brand. Looking up the specific router model number will provide the necessary information, as well as the default user name and password that it will ask for after getting to the right area. After getting in, there are not many important areas that one must pay attention to.

8 out of 8 people found this review useful. 1 of 15
Categories Comments Great for these types of students Dedicated students will enjoy this environment. This isn't a party school, and people should be prepared for a rural surrounding. If you need an environment that will help you keep focused, this is the college to look into.
Tips for prospective students If you're looking for a party college, just look the other way.
Bang for the buck Just look at the rate of job placement. It's crazy high! It's about the same cost of OSU or U of O, and it has far better job placement. This college will ready you for the future and won't bankrupt you in the process.
Am enjoying being here At first, I wasn't too thrilled about the surrounding town. Klamath Falls, Oregon is a rural town, which harbors few entertaining venues. As I continued to live there though, I realized that happiness assured by the town you live in, but the friends that you have there. I am happy because I have met some of the best people in my life there. If only we had some better places to spend our weekends...
Am learning a lot There is an extensive amount of information being taught at Oregon Institute of Technology, and excellent professors that are extremely willing to help you learn it. Since this college is on the smaller side, the professors know you by your name and are committed to teaching you as best they can.

What to do for fun in klamath falls there are many things to do, not to mention all of the campus activities and the family fun center downtown.
Food and Dining a new company has taken over oit called sodexo the past year, but the food is outstanding for any mood you have. they have 4 restaurants and subway next door.
Dorm Life oit has the best dorms around. they are extremely cheap and insanely new and nice. there is many dorm activities constantly going on and if you are in the residence hall you will definitely make some new friends.
Academic Rigor oit has a very hands on approach with teaching, so while the classes may be difficult to some, you actually take knowledge out of what you are being taught.
Tips for prospective students check out all your resources at oit, there is always help when you need it. also, know what feild of study your going into before you apply.
In three sentences oit is a great school because of the one-on-one help you get from the teachers. they are very engaged and flexible to work with you, not to mention small class sizes. it also helps that oit is very cost-effective.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities as i mentioned earlier, there are so many different clubs on campus that there is always some event going on.
Bang for the buck oit may be slightly more expensive than a regular state school, but they have a great reputation.
What to do for fun there are so many different clubs at oit that i wish i had more time each week! there is always something going on campus.
Food and Dining there isn't much to choose from on campus. there are a few different places to get coffee, though, which is good enough for me.
Dorm Life i haven't lived on campus so i can't really say anything about dorm life.
Academic Rigor there are lectures that are coupled with labs in most majors at oit. be sure to pay attention in lectures to easily do the labs.
Tips for prospective students if you intend to go to oit make sure you are ready to study and ask questions when you don't understand something. when you ask questions then the professors will recognize you and be more willing to help. the campus is beautiful, but drier than i thought it would be.
In three sentences oit requires a lot of hard work, but it is so much fun. there is so much hands-on learning! all of the professors are very helpful.

POLL: Obama-Romney Presidential Debate: Who Won?
The town hall-style debate gave voice to questions from uncommitted voters. Who handled the issues best?
President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney were in Long Island, N.Y. Tuesday night, answering questions Tuesday night from voters who said they were still undecided while also managing to go at each other.
The questions covered topics that included energy costs, unemployment, immigration, tax codes and more.
Wednesday morning, Patch will have flash survey results from Massachusetts political activists and leaders, both Republican and Democratic.
But right now, what about you: what do you think? Who would you say 'won' this second presidential debate? Tell us in the comments sections below.
11:01 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Mr. President absolutely dominated the debate. I'm now more sure that Mitt Romney is not for me.
6:47 am on Thursday, October 18, 2012
Doesn't matter who win this debate, I can't afford four more years under Obama adm. Maybe he is a good guy, but really is a very bad president, 'cause he made too much damage (just take a look at his record, double national deficit, 8o/o unemployed, almost the half of population get benefit.......). Only who can't think with the head will support him.......
James Haxby
11:03 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Obama did. He looked very Presidential. Wasmuch clearer than Romney on his positions.
11:41 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
I totally agree, Obama's responses made my eyes glaze over.
Lino Torres
11:07 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Romney was more presidential and demonstrated that Obama was ineffective when he had total control of the government
11:20 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
The president does not have total control of the government ( in fact no president has ever had total control) We have two other branch of government who have been totally unresponsive to the needs of the country. Take the time to truly examine the role of congress and the house. And more importantly, examine what Romney says, that is, if you can understand his continually flip flop on issues and total lies on issues.
J Yates
11:31 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Sorry Thinkingperson, Obama di have total control in the first half of his term by have a vast majority of both congress and the house to back all of his wishes and whims
Warren King
11:08 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Mitt won! Obama was on the defense all evening.
11:40 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Are you kidding were you watching the same debate as the rest of us?! Romney did not answer a single question with any detail of his plans just knocking the present administrations work. How is he going to create jobs. lower the deficit, or contain gas prices.
d guzman
11:08 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Definitely President Obama. unfortunately we have been in this mess way before Pres. Obama came into office, 4 years is not enough to get us out if it.
Jeff Thomas
11:33 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
President Obama Won! Mitt was very disrespectful to Candi, the President and working women all over America! He just does not understand any government policies pertains to women.
11:44 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
You can fall for his excuses if you want, but I know that his policies have not even begun to get this country turned around. Loyalty is one thing, but looking at the hard core facts and using common sense makes this choice an easy one. Obama had his time and it didn't work. Fire the coach.
Stephanie Sanders
11:11 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
It was a close debate. Both men made valid points, but Romney caught Obama in an obvious lie regarding Libya. That one will hurt Obama and his credibility a lot.
Paul S
11:31 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Too bad they did not hear all of the other lies as well as that one.

This is the quote from the president the day after the attack in the rose garden:
No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.
Please, please, please let this one go. Barack did not lie.
11:44 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Not so...What lie? Difference of wording and Obama being cautious in his speech next day after attack until details were known. Romney and his people were the ones who were disrespectful to the ones who loist their lives that day!

"Obama did. He looked very Presidential."
"Romney was more presidential"
Who votes for somebody because they are "more presidential"? This is not a beauty contest people. There are real differences between the candidates, and elections have consequences.
11:14 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
PresidentObama won. Romney did not give us any solution, he just told his dream...

Obama won easily! He got him on tax cuts! If mitt were to cut education credits and child taxes credits, the middle and lower-middle class would suffer dearly and the upperclass would benefit!!
Ed Lord

Mr. Romney was open and direct and friendly. Mr. Obama went back and forth from strident shiuting to speaking like a professor but glossed over the facts that he failed to deliver what he promised to do. Mr. Romney won in a walk.
Amanda Creig
11:21 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
WTF! My husband and I are paying a higher tax rate than Romney. A big chunk of money that could have paid our other important bills. We can't even afford to go to Hawaii?! Romney is born with a silver spoon, he doesn't know my/your/our sufferings!
11:54 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Your paying more taxes because of Obama's policies. With this country in the condition it's in, your worried that you can't afford to go to Hawaii, when people can't afford to feed their children?

That's because he pays Capital gains tax rate, it's already been taxed. You drone, do us all a favor and don't vote if you're that incompetent
12:50 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Shame on you potty mouth Creig! Most of Mitts income was from investments which is taxed at a lower rate then earnings. BUT, Romney paid what you "EARNED" and then some plus he probably donated what your husband earned! Percentages are very deceiving! Mitts 14% is DOUBLE TAXED! 1st as earnings to the Company, then as dividends paid to him. JUST HOW MUCH taxes do you need to wring out of OTHER PEOPLES MONEY to please you? OMG! = Obama MUST Go!
Tim Hill
1:51 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Wilma, that is not necessarily true. Gains on stocks are also taxed at capital gains and those gains have not already been taxed. Dividends have, but gains make up a larger portion of what gets taxed at the capital gains rate.

Obama won the debate matt just liar about everything he not telling the true
Carver Nebbe

Obama clearly took this one, which seems to be the flash pundit general opinion too. I was really impressed at how commandingly he answered the Benghazi issue, because I thought that would trip him up. Romney did terribly on the question about women's wages and the assault rifle question (just rambled there) and he made a fool of himself trying to counter Obama's assertions on his statements after Benghazi. I wish that there had been somebody who'd pressed Obama on his vision for his next four years more. I have a feeling he'd been prepared, but I'm not sure where we will get that now with the next debate being all foreign policy.
Terry Mate
11:44 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
I thought the President did a great job. I do not trust Romney in any way, shape or form. He has no clue what it is to be in the poor or middle class of this country, his "clarity" (?) on women's issues was a waste of time. All he wants to do is get us into another war and let the rich get richer. Women wake up---Romney cares nothing about you. The Government has no business telling us we can or can't have an abortion, no matter what your feelings are on the subject. Romney will make sure the Government tells us we can't and won't. WAKE UP AMERICA. We saw what happened in the Bay State under Romney: the state sank to 47th out of 50 in job creation and he left his successor with a billion-dollar deficit. America can't afford a Mitt Romney presidency.
M C Stringfellow
5:40 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
You are right about abortion. Its a choice. The law give you the right to choose that option. It does not mean that the government has to pay for it. IF a women wants an abortion, then, let her pay for it. Most pregnancies are not rape or incest related, just stupid women who didn't take a few minutes to practice birth control. Lets face it BirthControl is much cheaper than abortion and safer.

Obama won this 2nd debate, that's a fact. He showed why he deserves a 2nd chance!
11:24 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Obama actually cares about all Americans and really showed it tonight! He crushed Mitt on their policy differences that affect the middle class majority of our country. Mitt's got no plan for bringing jobs back to the US.
12:56 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Txtrader . . . Obama will REGULATE, and manage the decline and fall of the greatest country on Earth while Mitt Romney will return us to our rightful place in world leadership! Your choice, while my opinion is: OMG! Obama Must Go!

Romney is now the candidate for me. He seems more into fixing the social and financial issues that face me today.
Mr.B. Wright
11:26 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Grow up USA. Many are voting for candidates based on your political affiliations. Do you even know why you are Democrat or Republican?...When are we going to drop the Affiliations and become Americans. This debate is not a Baseball or Basketball game where we change sides by the inning or debate in this matter., Let's try to understand the issues that are going to make us The most powerful nation in the world again. Let's base our votes on our futures, Our Kids and grandkids futures. Let's vote for the best candidate, not the political party. By the way, I was born into the Democratic party but I will vote for the best man when all the smoke clears.
11:27 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Romney definitely won. He offered Americans a needed change / 5 point plan to the current problems. Obama is good at public speaking yes, but Romney is good at actual success in running / fixing businesses, which is what America needs right now.
stella peach
11:28 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Mitt Romney once again demonstrated hos arrogance and how much of a bully he is, not to mention making up stuff that makes no sense--as in his tax policy ad the fact that he can only attack on foreign policy because he has no experience or genuine
knowledge. What screams loud and clear is his driving personal ambition to be president
11:28 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
President Obama definitely dominated the debate tonight. I agree that the mess our country has been in since the Bush administration cannot be changed in 4 years by anyone plus Obama has not had the support of Congress.
Paul S
11:30 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Obama had to lie about so many things in order to defend his positions. Even Candy had to lie for him to defend him with regard to the Benghazi Embassy killings. If Obama had to tell 100% the truth on everything that came out of his mouth, he would only get 10% of all of the votes. It is hard to believe that so many of the people in this country cannot see through this president. Look at his results in four years. If you re-elect Obama, I guarantee you will just get more of the same failed policies.
Christopher Schardl
11:47 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
A big conspiracy, including the moderator? Read the transcript of the rose garden speech, or watch the video. Or do you think this great conspiracy doctored those as well?

Daniel Hanson
10:46 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Higher healthcare costs? No that comes from Obamacare and will come with less care. If you don't believe me come to Massachusetts, where our healthcare has gotten significantly more expensive and less coverage than before Kennedycare came into effect.
Paul S
2:45 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
The only people who will vote for Obama are the ones on Food Stamps and the ones that are so ignorant that they do not know Obama's history. His dad was a certified member of the Communist Party. Check out the movie "Dreams From My Real Father" if you want to get educated or you can stay a mushroom and watch how Obama plans to destroy this nation.
M C Stringfellow
5:47 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Taxes will go up. It's a question of how much. Obama said he would cut waste, NOT. Democrats in general want to raise taxes to the max with no cut in wasteful spending. Republicans want to cut the wasteful spending and raise taxes accordingly (minimum). We really need legislation to omit any riders to any bills along with line item veto. What do you really wnat from our Government? Think before you vote.
Carver Nebbe
11:31 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
It's interesting to me to read the responses here. In the first debate, Romney was the clear winner and Democrats, instead of defending him and saying he won anyway, actually got very angry at him for a poor performance. Tonight Obama was the clear winner, but Republicans seem to be defending Romney as the winner anyway. It has been remarked in many forums that Republicans are much better at backing their guy. I doubt that much will change as a result of this debate, but I think Democrats are at least relieved that their guy is back. And Joe Biden was certainly very entertaining!
Tim Hill
1:55 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Carver, that is just on this board. The media, both conservative and liberal, have pretty much acknowledged that Obama was the winner last night. The bigger question, the aswer to which both parties disagree on, is whether the win was enought to overcome the loss he suffered at the last debate.
Mike Doyle
11:40 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
The President won hands down. He had his facts right on drilling, taxes, guns and the embassy. He showed that his opponent will flip his opinion or say anything to gain votes.
10:35 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Yes, the President won. He did have his facts right, and Romney flipped a few more of his positions last night.
Romney's plans are George W. Bush on steroids. Romney's advisors are the same Bush neocons who got us into Iraq, started two wars and never put them in the defense budget...just borrowed the money...put two wars on a credit card.
Christopher Schardl
11:41 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
The facts won! It was facts against truthers. Calling out the truthers should not be done politely. What would this country be like when truthers run it? Oh yeah, we tried that and got the biggest terror attack in our history, 2 wars (without a nickel from the rich), and the worst economic collapse in 80 years. Now truthers pretend they had no responsibility for all that.
Daniel Hanson
10:48 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
and let me guess..Clinton's poor foreign policy didn't cause any of it right? Bin Laden just appeared when Bush became President, correct? The banks didn't get deregulated under Clinton causing the banking mess, hence the economic collapse, either, right? Please!
Mr.B. Wright

Arne Leavitt
11:43 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Don't listen to Obama say what he has accomplished. Instead, measure him on what he has done. He is not clued in. The African American man who asked a very good question, indicating that he has not seen or felt any positive results over the past 4 years. Obama is not in touch!
Steven Hudson
11:50 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Check facts.. Obama lied about Libya and on top of that apologized to the terrorists who killed four Americans at our embassy.. The numbers on unemployment are drastically altered by the fact a lot of people stopped looking for jobs and are no longer counted in the "un or underemployed" list. I personally work in the mining industry and Obama and the EPA are over regulating almost everything making it nearly impossible to maintain or receive permits to keep sites open and working which has been the same with oil and other natural resource jobs in the U.S. Don't get me wrong, obama is a brilliant speaker.. But there is a very big difference between a man of his word and a man of MANY words. He said it himself, if he didn't fix things he would be a one term president and you are lying to yourselves if you think he's made anything better for this country. Please check and compare facts before casting your votes for this man.
Guy Hoyle-Dodson
11:51 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
We have systemic problems that neither will be able to address even if they wanted to. This will take a grassroots mass movement equal to the greatest in human history. However, it was clear that Obama cares about the 99% and Romney couldn't give a damn.
Donna Sivadon Ostrander
11:52 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Romney won. He laid our all if Ovama's failed policies and broken promises.
12:06 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
One could argue a draw but Romney clearly won on the important subjects like the economy and taxes. Obama defiantly performed better and Romney missed some opportunities. The moderator was defiantly in bed with Obama as well but this is not the decisive Obama victory that the media is going to portray. Obama also lied on several topics like Libya. This won't help Obama much in the polls.
don n
8:27 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
If you would suggest that there was even a possibility of a draw then It's obvious that you know that Mitt was hammered last night. He kept on repeating the same tired old themes that are just slogans and have no basis in reality. This was Mitt's worse performance since the $10,000 bet
Patty De
12:56 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Obama brings to our voter base no vision, no insight, no specific plan for a better future. His pathetic past record shows that our economy can not tolerate his lack of leadership. Obama can not reveal his plan because he does not have a dire interest to stimulate our economy, and to create more quality jobs. I am a middle class educated worker and have not had a full time job in the last four years because creating jobs were not on his agenda. His complete disrespect to mislead USA on Libya is unconscionable. He did not refer to those four sad deaths of our Americans as a specific act of terror. It took two weeks for our country to get the truth. Obama's delayed actions showed incompetence at the least, dishonesty more likely. How sad for our leadership. I will not support someone I can not trust for our country's future. And why does a neutral (?) commentator have permission to interject her opinions, and misled potential voters on an important point even further. Romney shows professionalism. He brings promise to a better future for energy with a plan for lower gas prices, oil exploration and drilling and alternative energy sourcing. He brings a promise for a better future to improve our economy by decreasing taxes and prioritizing growth in jobs. He is a successful businessman. He can balance a budget. He has a plan. He has a vision for a better change. I'll take my chance on Romney.
don n
8:32 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
You haven't had a full time job for 4 years and you blame Obama? I think you lost your job when another Republican with a "bright specific plan for a golden future" was the president. Granted Romney won the first debate but it was only because Obama was sick or tired that day. Gingrich would've been a much stronger candidate than Mitt
M C Stringfellow
4:04 pm on Thursday, October 18, 2012
Gingrich would have been a stronger choice for the debate. BUT, certainly not for The Presidency. Gingrich has always wanted things his own way. I am not certain I could vote for a man who divorced his second wife because 1. he was tired of her 2. she was not pretty enough to be First Lady and 3. his affair was about to become public. Not good personal qualifications for a man who wants to be President. Who else Patty De suppose to blame? Oh, I know, the newspaper guy on the corner. Obama was not sick that day nor was he tired. He was playng at being "The Anointed One" who felt it was beneath himself to be there. Romney won because Obama did not prepare. OR you could look at it this way. Obama was laid back to give Romney a false sense of security so he could tear him down in the second debate. Didn't quite work that way though, did it. Numbers hardly moved for Obama. AND stop blaming Bush for all the troubles. Every President inherits problems form the last. Obama is the only one to compound them into a trillion dollar deficit and rising. Look at facts not party.
M C Stringfellow

John DiMascio
3:10 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Anyone that knows me, knows I'm a solid Republican. I could easily see how some if not most would say that Obama won the debate.
CNN reports that he won 46 to 39. But the internals of the same poll are not very good for the President.
Who would better handle
economy R 58 - O 40
Taxes R 51% - O 44%
Deficit R 59% -O 36%
Healthcare R 49% -O 46%
And here is direct quote from CNN not exactly a conservative news source.
"On that measure, the debate can best be described as a tie.
One-quarter of debate-watchers said the event made them more likely to vote for Obama, and an equal amount said it made them more likely to vote for Romney.
Half said it would have no effect on their vote."
In the first debate, Romney succeeded in convincing people he was an acceptable replacement for Obama. And in this kind of economy, that's all people needed to see. But Romney when much further in the first debate. And to be quite frank, this debate is being measured against the last one in which Obama didn't have a pulse.
Again quoting the same CNN poll, of those surveyed 73% thought Obama did better then they expected him to. Why is that? A month ago everyone thought Obama was the best debater since Socrates. So expectations were so low for Obama, the fact that he showed energy tonight makes him the winner.
2 weeks ago the fundamentals of this campaign were changed. Tonight's performance by the President changed nothing.
Howard Kosrofian

OBAMA is the master of disillusion. Once you get below the surface he is exposed.Last night`s format was perfect for a B.S. artist like B.O.Hopefully enough of america will see through come Nov 6 th. the next debate will be very hard for Obama to defend his role with Lybia and the so called Arab spring. Let`s see this Video that Obama and Clinton Kissed the butt of Islam over and apologized . DOES IT REALLY EXIST !!! Like Obama an illusion.

7:43 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
well i have heard all the plans and after the last four years and not getting any better. but the nation is in a lot worse off and out national credit rating is bad and going to get worse, I think i will vote for romney.

Harrison Taft
8:12 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Romney appeals to the voter base that feels " I've got mine and I'm not sharing it with anyone else. " Romney supporters are also picking on the disadvantaged in this country as they are easy targets. I can only hope Obama wins this election. I leave you with this to ponder..... Events such as illness, loss of jobs and death occur everyday. We are not all exempt from this but there are social programs put in place to help. Programs Romney supporters think are wasting taxpayer money. What if it happened to you and Romney was elected president?
Daniel Hanson
10:58 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
No Republicans don't think they whole programs are wastes, just some of the people on them. If you are not a citizen of this country where do you get off getting welfare, food stamps, or any other assistance and where does our government get off giving it to them? When did Social Security become a federal welfare system? Social Security would be fine if it was a retirement plan like it was originally designated for instead of the federal welfare system it has turned into. Obamacare is a joke if you don't believe me come to Mass. It's not the programs it is how they are run.
Harrison Taft
8:21 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Hey Patty and Steve... I bet you don't know how many embassy attacks there were during Bush's presidency.....
There were TWELVE!!!!!!!
@ Paul If you watched them fact check on CNN after the debate and wanted to be truly honest with yourself.... Obama didn't lie once!
9:33 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Wow what a bunch of morons . Obama didn't shed light on anything, he just sat back smug and interupted as much if not more than Romney. And Candy the Hutt fact checked Mitt to cover for Obama and was 100% wrong. It's all over the net how wrong she was, even she admitted it. If you idiots can't see past the smug smile and the slick talk, I guess we deserve the desperate mess we're in
9:33 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
People need to look at what the president came into. We are this way because of a Republican.. good change takes time. If you really look at what the president has done for this country you will see he is doing what he said he was going to do but its going to take him another 4 yrs to start to see change. When Clinton was president we were in a sur plus and that's what our president is trying to do to get our middle class back to where we were 12 yrs ago... Don't forget Mitts 47% comment that's really a man I want for president...people need to stop point n blaming Obama when he is truly for ALL AMERICAN PEOPLE NOT JUST THE RICH...THINK ABOUT...
Daniel Hanson
11:03 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Actually most of those problems came from left over Clinton messes becuase he was to busy committing crimes over Monica than doing his job and Bush didn't double they deficit in 4 years, Obama did. Also, since all you liberals like to talk about truths, what about Mitt's 47% comment was actually not factual? Most if not all that 47% don't pay federal income taxes and most get something from the federal govt like EIC or food stamps or college loans and because of that smaller businesses can't afford to employ people. Lets get totally truthful Mitt's comment was factual.

9:58 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Just four more years? Obama has his eye on the recent 'election' in Venezuela. Only the repeal of the 22nd amendment stands between elected President and President for Life. Keep an eye out if the presidential wardrobe includes an elaborate military uniform bedecked with medals, ribbons and a general's rank.
Reverend E. Raleigh Pimperton III
9:56 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Obama again showed no real grasp of where he has been for the past four years and no plan for the next four - just more lies and falsehoods about Romneys plans. Don't forget Obama's statement about "You didn't Build That" - he truly believes in a socialized government. Even with Obamas constant interrupting and lack of truthfilness AND the Moderators HELP - Romney took it on points
9:58 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Please show me where in this transcript (his remarks made in the Rose Garden on 9/12/12) that the President called the attack in Libya an 'act of terror' - You can't because he did not say it!! http://tinyurl.com/cylp7kv - In fact after his remarks the President was asked by a report if it was an 'act of terror' and he walked away!! You can see that in the video here - http://tinyurl.com/9r8xt84 - Wake up America!! It was 2 against one in that debate and Mitt still won!! The liberal media is imploding and I for one am HAPPY to see it!! The bloom is off the rose and Obama is exposed for the empty chair and suit that he is!!
10:21 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
The moderator is supposed to be IMPARTIAL - but that did not happen here!! Of course we knew that was going to happen because she is a liberal as the majority of people in news media are. Her BIAS toward Obama was obvious!! And by the way Michelle Obama broke the rules (along with a lot of others in the audience) by applauding after statements made by the President. Did Candy turn and tell the audience to stop applauding, NO - would she have if they were applauding Mitt - YES!! Good news is that the American people see through the fascade and yes the independents are flocking to Mitt's camp!! http://tinyurl.com/9amfvjb
11:28 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
This is the quote from the president the day after the attack in the rose garden:
No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.
Please, please, please let this one go. Barack did not lie.
10:04 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Someone said disrespectful about Romney towards Candy!!! You are surely kidding. The shoe is on the other foot with that one - the questions she chose and her siding (wrongly) with Obama on his Libya statements - Romney had one hand tied behind his back going in and the only surprise was she didn't take two minutes at the end to condemn Romney & his policies.
10:17 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
If anything It was a tie, Obama was definitely more aggressive than debate #1, But it wasn't enough. He blew the embassy killings, He tried to make a big stand about how he is the Man in charge and calls the shots, If that were true, why after a few weeks would he let Hillary take the rap? and why, if she was ultimately responsible, has he not publicly or privately disciplined her? If you or I made a critical error in our jobs resulting in the death of people, We would not only be fired on the spot, but fed to the Lawyers on the way out the door, So, a draw maybe, but I still vote for Romney. Time for a change

This is one for the book, last evening Obama say`s the reason why gasoline was 1.89 a gallon when he came in and not 4.00, the economy was on the verge of collapse.Well I don`t know about you, with people making less and having to pay much more, I think B. O. made a case for another collaspe. Those were the good old days.
10:40 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
The most important thing in this election: the next president will probably choose 2 supreme court justices who are in for LIFE. This will decide the direction of our country for the rest of my life and effect my children 12 and 5 for most of theirs. Do you really want to go back to policies that were decided 30 years ago because the extreme on the right dredged them up again? Do you want the country to fully become government by corporation? Government by big banks? This is what matters.
10:50 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
WOW!! Now there are death threats to assassinate Romney!! http://tinyurl.com/br7epdk - I'd be embarrassed to be a Democrat or associated with the party at this point!! Obama cannot win in the arena of ideas or on his record of the last 4 years, so now people think that death threats against his opponent is the way to go. Stunning!! Wake up America, wake up!!
11:00 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
The Most important thing in this election is the survivorship of this nation - the debt crisis has us knocking at the door of Greece - Geitner can only pump so much paper money into the system before we become what Europe was in the 30's, when a wheel barrow full of money bought a loaf of bread. Playing class warfare sounds good to some but it gets real old fast. This country was founded upon the concept of faith in GOD and that with a solid work ethic you could achieve your dreams. Those dreams are being trampled on by those who want to have a socialized system where everyone gets a piece of the pie no matter what they contribute to society. Please vote like your childrens future depends on it - because it does.

We need someone who can get the parties together.
Obama has had 4 years of "letting the politicuians sort it out themsleves" and they did not do that.
A leader should be able to negotiate, to compromise, and cause the other senators and congressmen to work together. ej

Solid performance from PRESIDENT OBAMA. Obama has a clear plan which he described and solid forward results of progress from the worst downturn inn our history to show for his work. Romney again avoided any details about anything but will surely carry out the Republican convention ideals. Romney appears to be willing to say anything for a vote. I expect Romney to hand out money to the audience in the next debate.

I didn't think it was possible, but Romney successfully debated (very well I might add) BOTH the President AND the moderator - at the SAME time!
Candy showed her true (left-leaning) stripes by carrying the water pail for Obama and fibbed along with the President regarding Libya - check the transcript here - there was NO specific reference to terrorism in Libya on 9/12 - only with regard to "....terrorist actS...." as they related to the anniversary of 9/11.
And in spite of POTUS' attempt to pin Romney into a corner with his 'you're a successful investor....' comments, it back-fired. Oops, Mr. President, not only does Romney know where his money is, but he also knows where your pension is invested - - in China and off-shore. And he'll do a much better job of removing the debt guillotine that now hangs over our economy and our children's future.
As Obama bumbled and stuttered through not only his answers, but childlike calls for update on the timer (did it go off yet?), Romney remained calm and in control of both his emotions and facts. If you don't believe me - look at the Boston Globe's own FactCheck reporting at http://tinyurl.com/br3u8fn
There was a clear winner - the next President of the United States, our former governor, Willard Mitt Romney.
He didn't ask - but I will, vote for Mitt in November. Let's get things moving again!

When is Romney actually going to tell us his 'plan'. Not '1. This thing. 2. This other thing. etc. etc. etc.' He never stands on solid ground for ANYTHING other than stopping stem cell research, cutting taxes for the rich and stopping Chinas cheating. It's like a 10 year old is actually on the verge of becoming president. Give me some facts. Give me some ideas. Not some vague BS.

So, Ero, first, help me understand which points from Obama's plan and campaign pledges from 2008 he has successfully achieved? Next, elucidate me on what his plan is for the next four years. Somehow I missed that last night among all the complaining he was doing, alleging what he thought Romney would do.
Then, just out of curiosity, do you have any idea what our Current Trade deficit is with China? Do you understand how much of our debt they hold? Do you even fathom the idiocy of Clinton having offered them WTO status?
If Mitt cracked down on China alone, we'd be in a helluva lot better position with tons of new manufacturing jobs in the US.

Look Obamacare was passed without anyone reading the dam thing. Bela pilosi said we have to pass it first to find out what`s in it. NO canidate can give complete specifics before he is elected, on a budget, in fact who ever did ? One thing you can rest assured that Romney will get this country up and running and and feeling good about itself.There not one shred of evidence that anything will change with 4 more years of Obama, at best the uneployment rate is back where we started 7.8 % however gas is not 1.89 a gallon as it was then, things are costing more, wages are down. So who really who want`s this guy, lets look. public employes love him, why not more taxes, means more pay for them.People on the sidelines who have no intention of ever get off , NOT THE ONES THAT DO, want him more taxes means steady income for them. On someone else`s back. That`s the Obama idea of no one being left out. He wants reporations for a certain segment of the community OK I SAID IT. Prove me wrong.

Obama love`s to deal in class warfare and is always throwing around the fact that Mitt Romney is wealty, indeed he is. He will be entering the White House a rich man. All I know is Obama assumed office a relatively modest man, he willing be leaving very Wealthy. So I guess the last 4 years did pay off quite nicely, for the OBAMA`S.

The debate was a tie. There will be no jump in the polls except for Romney. Obama has done nothing to improve the economy of this nation. We should all be desperate to get Obama out of the White House because if Obama had been more concerned out the citizens of this nation and their protection (part of his job) the four people killed in Benghazi would have never lost their lives. Obama rightly took responsibility because he was spending more time campaigning, fund raising and golfing instead of taking care of the responsibilities of his office. Every president before Obama would always properly staff the U.S. Embassies on Sept. 11th each year because that date has great significance in the Islamic world. Obama is asleep at the wheel when it comes to foreign policy. Obama does not care about the people of this country, he only cares about himself.

@Don n - For your reference, Candy Crowley is a self-important, fem-bot media snob who just can't seem to follow the rules.
The Obama AND Romney campaigns set some interesting ground rules, most notably, neither camp wanted a whole lot of moderating, specifically requesting that Candy Crowley doesn't ask any follow-up questions to a candidate who may choose to talk his way around a difficult question.
The memo signed by both campaigns, would suggest there won't be any follow-ups at all. The document not only bars Crowley from asking them, but also the audience members and even the other candidate on stage.
•7 (c), IV: "The moderator will not ask follow-up questions or comment on either the questions asked by the audience or the answers of the candidates during the debate or otherwise intervene in the debate except to acknowledge the questioners from the audience or enforce the time limits, and invited the candidate comments during the 2 minute response period."
•7 (d): "The audience members shall not ask follow-up questions or otherwise participate in the extended discussion, and the audience member's microphone shall be turned off after he or she completes asking the questions."
•5 (e): "The candidates may not ask each other direct questions during any of the four debates.

Do you think that your idols Limbaugh and O'Reilly would've done a better job? She wasn't perfect but at least she was half alive which is more than can be said about Lehrer or Schieffer.
These rules deserved to be violated for the benefit of the general public. From my point of view both candidates violated 5(e) and I didn't see any violation of 7(d), certainly if there was any it was a fraction of what occurred in the first debate.
Calling the moderator names doesn't enhance your case especially after both sides agreed to the moderator used in advance. It's not like nobody had ever heard of her before.
Any candidate from Massachusetts is a weak choice from a practical point of view, just ask the supporters of the last 4 Massachusetts candidates for President.

Look, this is simple: has Obama's plans over the last 4 years worked? Can you name anything that he has done that has worked? Borrowing money, and apologizing for America from day one stick in people's minds more than any legislation he has enacted. Can anyone say they are better off now than 4 years ago? Even putting in 3 full years ( I don't count this past year, it's been all campaigning) he accomplished nothing. I said it the other day and I say it again: We owe it to ourselves to switch directions, I am tired of watching my paycheck get taxed to death. A lot of that money is going to freebies that people who are capableof working are taking full advantage of. More and more people everyday are finding that it is easier to take from Uncle Sam than to get up and better themselves. It's time to stop Making it easy for them. I for one am ready for change. I admit it may prove to be the wrong change, But to never take the leap is to remain in one place. Right now we are all in one place. And it's called losing ground.

If substance and policy were important then Romney won.
If attacking and disinformation was important then Obama won.
The policies of the present administration have led to a resurgence of Al-Qaeda, stagnation in the economy, and runaway government spending.
Think before you vote are you better off today than you were 4 years ago.
I like substance, and policy, over disinformation, and character assassination any day.

We need a CEO to deal with our countries economic problems, someone who deals with the realities and hazards of a business, not some guy who was a "community organizer" I mean, what the hell is that anyway? A guy who goes around the neighborhood encouraging the poor to sign up for well fare and other entitlements, and basically spreading anger and discontent amongst the citizens. THAT Will help this country turn itself around? Are you serious?
C'mon people...we can do better than this guy.

David, the last CEO president that I can remember was George Washington and he did a pretty darn good job. Bush was not a CEO of any company as far as I know. He family has been in politics for a long time. Obama has no life experience in any type of business. He college education was very lackluster with a "C" average. He is really just an average Joe. Just because he can talk and spout off lies and tell everyone else that they are telling lies when he the one actually telling the lies is just crazy. But it is just like the Pied Piper who led everyone away with his magical music. Obama is doing the same with all of the ignorant voters who either do not want to research him or are too lazy to do so. Any person who really does their research about Obama would never vote for him. He had the first two years to create millions of jobs and he did nothing but create thousands of government jobs and a huge expansion of government bureaucracy. If he gets into the White House for another term he will most certainly double the number of people on Food Stamps and expand the federal government to double the size it is now. The debt will double and we will have to go bankrupt. The USA is actually already bankrupt, but nobody wants to discuss it.
David Chase

It's always good to check your memory against Google and Wikipedia.
Bush founded Arbusto, was chairman of Spectrum 7, board of directors of HKN, managing general partner of Texas Rangers. I recall him running as a "CEO president", and the term was used in the title of a Time article back in 2002, a Reason article in 2005, and appears in several other articles.
It seems unlikely to me that Obama will do the things you claim he will. He has been making plenty of noise about shrinking the deficit (for example, letting tax cuts on the rich expire -- what's that for, if not to cut the deficit?) To me, his policies look like those of an old-style Rockefeller Republican. For example, did he push for universal health care? Guaranteed income? Maximum wage? Is he proposing to put the maximum tax rate back where it was the last time a Republican balanced a budget? He's proposed none of these things. He rerouted a pipeline, but did not block it.

Christopher N. Allan, Managing Editor Emeritus
Newspapers provide a contemporary record of daily life in Maryland. Unfortunately, the deterioration of these valuable historical documents is a serious conservation issue. The paper used since 1865, particularly for newsprint, is not durable. Original newspapers which were available for reference twenty years ago are now so fragile that they can no longer be handled without crumbling to dust. Scanning and microfilming original issues are the most effective and cost-efficient means of preserving the information in newspapers. For those newspapers with images such as photographs, and supplements in color, scanning is the only viable alternative for their preservation. Since 1979, the Maryland State Archives has cooperated with concerned individuals, historical agencies, libraries, and newspaper publishers in a project that has microfilmed and scanned nearly 300 Maryland newspapers representing over two million pages. An equivalent number of deteriorating pages remain to be preserved, including pages poorly filmed by sources other than the Archives, and pages adequately filmed for text content, but which must be scanned to recover images that are not legible on high contrast copy film. As long as funding can be secured, the Maryland State Archives will continue to provide state-of-the-art facilities for preserving fragile newspapers and other historic documents. Questions concerning the project should be directed to: Director, Maryland Newspaper Project, email@example.com or contact us at 350 Rowe Blvd., Annapolis, MD 21401. NOTE: Primary access to newspaper collections is through microfilm. Researchers desiring access to original newspapers, particularly Maryland titles formerly in the holdings of the Library of Congress MUST contact the Maryland Newspaper Project in advance. |

EMCC basketball teams sweep at Coahoma Monday |
CLARKSDALE – The East Mississippi basketball teams cruised to decisive road victories Monday night at Coahoma, with the Lady Lions prevailing 79-56 to begin the night and the EMCC men completing the divisional sweep with a 93-67 win at The Pinnacle.
Winners of three of their last four decisions, head coach Sharon Thompson's Lady Lions built on a 33-27 halftime lead throughout the second stanza en route to the 23-point triumph over a depleted Coahoma squad that dressed out only seven players. The EMCC women improved to 11-9 overall and 5-3 in MACJC North Division play. Sophomore standout Martika Hull, a product of Southeast Lauderdale, paced the winners with 22 points, followed by Jacquelyn Carothers and Shelby Crawford with 11 and 10 points, respectively. In Monday's nightcap, head coach Mark White's Lions claimed their 10th victory in their last 11 contests with the 26-point victory. EMCC added to a 34-26 halftime advantage during the second half on the way to improving to 18-3 overall and maintaining their North Division lead at 7-1 in league play. Preseason NJCAA All-American CoCo Ware exploded for 25 second-half points to finish the night with a game-high 30 points along with a career-best 15 rebounds. The former Starkville High School standout now has three 30-point efforts on the season and four for his two-year EMCC career. With 947 career collegiate points to his credit, Ware entered the night ranked 33rd nationally in scoring average at 19.1 points per contest on the year. Freshman point guard Deonte Alexander, of Nashville, added 20 points, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc, for his fourth 20-point outing of the season, while sophomore playmaker Terence Bennett followed with 13 points for the Lions. Freshman forward Jonathan King contributed eight points and a team-high nine rebounds to the winning effort. The East Mississippi basketball teams travel to Fulton for a key hoops twinbill Thursday against Itawamba. Last month in Scooba, the EMCC squads swept the visiting ICC Indians by a 68-57 score in the women's game and a 54-51 tally in the men's contest. |

Foxhole Prayers
Our text for this foxhole prayer was 2 Chronicles 18:31. King Jehoshaphat was not to align himself with King Ahab, and he did anyway. God was not obligated to hear Jehoshaphat's prayer since he was in direct disobedience to the LORD. However, when Jehoshaphat cried out(shriek out in anguish), the LORD surrounded him with a Rock, the stone of help as illustrated in 2 Samuel 22: 2-3, 47, 1Samuel 7:12. The word stone in those verses is the same word help in 2 Chronicles 18:31. When Jehoshaphat shrieked in anguish, God came himself. He didn't deliver him from a distance, but was there with Jehoshaphat in the battle surrounding him as a Rock. God is our Rock, Shield, Refuge and Savior.
Later in the service we offered up prayers for our soldiers, past and present who have given their lives as the utimate sacrifice for the freedoms we gratefully enjoy. Those freedoms include the freedom of speech and freedom of religion, to worship as we choose. We prayed for the soldiers who serve now and all families who have lost someone for freedom's sake. May the God of comfort give the families peace and heal their broken hearts. May God encourage those soldiers who endure extreme pain and disability. May he heal their bodies, minds and families. We the people of Grace Baptist Church are deeply thankful for you and pray for you. May God be your refuge, strength and Savior.

Brothers was a 30 minute comedy that aired on the Showtime cable network in the 1980's. As the show's title indicates the show centers on the Waters brothers; Lou, the oldest, Joe and Cliff, the youngest. Lou was the blue-collar construction worker, while Joe was the retired place kicker for the Philadelphia Eagles as well as a sports bar owner. This leaves the youngest, Cliff, who was an admitted homosexual.
The show deals with the three brothers lives and interactions with each other as well as the attempts of the eldest two brothers to learn acceptance of their youngest siblings homosexuality. Although the show deals with the subject in a comedic way it was still instrumental in helping address the issue and delivering the message that just because a person is homosexual they are still a person and still need and deserve love. Something that the eldest two Waters brothers realize early and work diligently to come to grips with, despite their misgivings and worries.
Part of what made this show so great was the chemistry between the characters. Lou comes across as somewhat of a comic relief in his attempts to be liberal and accepting. However, the lynch pin of the trio is middle brother Joe, who keeps things running smoothly.
