These Women Faith poems are examples of Faith poems about Women. These are the best examples of Women Faith poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
She showed me the clouds
and how to walk on the ninth one. A dreamer.
In the absoluteness of her mind, no barriers
exist within existence
as if her battles have
been won. I think she craves to fly,
past those clouds---another possibility
to make possible, a challenge
to challenge. Or dream about.
She probably thinks that when I complain
I cannot see the clouds,
the way she did when things got rough
in life. Of course, I beg to differ.
She dreams. I live. I don't
keep my eyes on clouds all day
as if there is nothing else to see
to make me understand the world better.
I suppose I'll rest one day, exhausted
by the what-ifs and whys, while Mama smiles
and points upward.
three women with points on their licenses to the tomb of Jesus they ventured
as they had a love for our Savior that was totally uncensored
they were told that the Roman soldiers over His tomb were standing guard
but they had a need to consecrate His body that compelled them to do their part
it was risky and unreasonable in the minds of most
but man's reasoning has no value when it comes to our Heavenly Host
to do the impossible that is what they desired
and with the power of the Holy Spirit they were then inspired
to walk by faith and not by sight guided by God's spiritual light
and when those women got to the tomb they then discovered
that the sepulcher of Jesus was now uncovered
no Roman soldiers were in sight
just an Angel of God wearing raiment snow white
"fear not" the Angel said, for the prophecy has been fulfilled
the Messiah Jesus has risen from the dead for it is God's will
the mighty stone had been rolled away
it was a bold godly display
do you know that God will roll away any stone that impedes your life?
as He rolled away the stone at the tomb of His beloved Son Jesus the Christ
to be raised from the death of corruption and sin
restored, renewed, revived and born again
raised up from societal barriers of destruction
now a new creation in Christ's gospel production
the Lord desires that we live abundantly
and to walk with the power of His authority
so never forget the sacrifice and the blood that was shed
when Jesus the Christ by the hand of God was raised from the dead

The lights of Bethlehem still burn,
For Ruth's mother-in-law to return.
Since her unfettered faith, so strong,
Convinced Ruth, with her, to come along.
Facing bravely the consequences of God's plan,
Ruth, with Naomi, went to the Promised Land.
To live on in Bethlehem was their decision,
Both seeking to receive God's provision.
God doesn't stop being God in adversity
Is what Naomi taught Ruth to believe.
So there in Bethlehem, Ruth sought for a man
To help her with the consequences of God's plan.
And Boaz of Bethlehem, Naomi's rich kinsman,
Found Ruth to be both charming and winsome.
So he shared with Ruth the bounty of his field,
When he learned her faith, though foreign, was real.
Thus they became one with the grace of God's will
And with a prophecy of God their duty to fulfill.
Ruth's faith in Naomi's God found reinforcement
While lovelorn Naomi was freed of her resentment.
God's will it was to give Ruth and Boaz a boy,
And for Naomi to restore her spiritual joy.
we live in a star struck society being a celebrity is now the game
we seem to cheer louder for professional athletes and people with well known names
we also have a desire to be just like them if we could choose
and many feel that being a celebrity is the key to the fountain of youth
but what people fail to see or even comprehend
is that celebrities are nothing more than mere women and men
and that there is no special powers that a famous person obtains
just because everybody knows your face and your name
and when it come to Jesus He doesn't care about your status nor place
He will welcome you in the spirit of love, mercy and grace
He will sit at the table with you and share a simple meal
some bread and wine in the spirit of communion and an acceptance so real
God does not care if you're a celebrity or a superstar
if that were the case the Bible would not mention the women with the alabaster jar
she was not a woman of status, wealth nor celebrity
but she gave what she could to acknowledge Jesus' godly authority
yet those men in the room rebuked her for her generous act
until Jesus stood up for her in the midst of their verbal attack
He told them "leave her alone, as for Me she has done a good thing"
she gave Me her best, she anointed Me with fine oil as her true King
what people can't understand nor comprehend
is that by doing things in Jesus' name blessings God will send
she broke open that alabaster jar she opened her soul to Christ
she gave what she could she gave the best that she had in life
give what you can that is all that Lord God desires
for you to give from the heart and with true faith to be inspired
to understand that being famous is not such a big to-do
but to be recognized by God and know that He loves you
Even precious jewels cannot approach their value,
For the women of merit are priced beyond them.
Their beauty is found in the works of love they do,
And in their smile facing the future that is never dim.
Most arise at dawn when it is still like the night
And wrap round them bands of strength like corsets.
Going out like the cargo ships before daylight,
They conduct their business for handsome profits.
Their beauty is matched by their hearts filled with virtue,
For there is rich wisdom and mercy on her tongue.
Their clothing soft fair linen of purple and blue,
And open are their hands to needy they live among.
Men give them praise and children give them honor,
Since her public reputation is all to her credit.
Eschewing evil for the good at every corner,
They ply their gifts toward works of merit.
Oh to be her partner in labor and pleasure,
For her fire will not go out for the night.
Her company for sure has profit in full measure,
And lifts high the muse of good cheer's delight.
Faith is her deserved and hard-earned reward,
For her strength and self-respect passes the test.
About her worth there is candid accord,
Among women her title is the very best.
I'm not the kind of person I need to be!
There's too many problems inside of me!
I'm not the kind of person you'd want to know…
I've too many worries and a troubled soul!
I'm the kind of person who has a lot of stress!
Lately, my life has been one big mess!
I'm the kind of person who doesn't have a friend.
You listen to me now…
But may never see me again!
I'm the kind of person who's gone through pain!
I wake up some days,
and don't even know my name!
I may not be the kind of person you'd
want to be around.
I may get discouraged, and "get you down."
I'm the kind of person who's giving Jesus a chance…
I know he loves me! Whatever the circumstance!
I'm the kind of person who needs a lot of prayer!
I know that God listens! And is always there!
Please help me Jesus! That I may be set free!
May it be your love that others will see!
Thank you Jesus! For being my savior and friend!
You're someone that this person can always depend!
I'm not the kind of person that Jesus wants me to be!
That's why I need more of HIM!
And LESS of me!
By Jim Pemberton
She is so typical
So critical
For most part difficult
I never really could grasp her in such way
She just wants me to some how stay
She comes to my man cave and makes me obey
Shy she was and now I am scared
In such way I almost cared
She thinks she can do everything for me I swear
She makes me guess everyday but I keep on believing
Because it is fun to give her a kiss, while she does not know when she is sleeping
She stresses out but I will tell her my love for her keeps deepening
So for the most part I just keep her close to make her smile and me
When I do things I do it for her it is always a key
Call me romantic or call me stupefied, but it makes her so, so, sooo, happy
Give me drink, rest, and solitude--
these are all the things I long for.
Give me as well your finest food
and I'll ask of you, lass, no more!
My bonnie lass, what's the matter--
why are you all sorry and alone?
Don't be sad because you're fatter
than most, lass, for love loves its own.
Sweet lass, I'll tell you a secret.
If I were a young lad again,
I'd pursue you without regret!
But as I am three-score and ten
years old, indeed, I can never
be the youthful lad you most need.
But your pain won't be for ever:
for your heart will refuse to bleed.
Naomi and her family departed from Bethleham Judah the land of milk and honey
in the midst of a famine as they were unable to earn any money
so on to the region of Moab they ventured and prospered to some degree
until Naomi lost her husband and both sons and was left alone to grieve
to her daughters-in-law she told them both to their families they should go back
but one daughter-in-law Ruth refused to let their relationship come under attack
she told Naomi I will never leave you nor forsake you
I will stay by your side no matter what we have to go through
your people will be my people, your God will be my God
and wherever you choose to travel you and I will never part
with loyalty, love and devotion Ruth needed Naomi in her life
in order for her to develop a relationship with our Lord Christ
now worshipping God together placing their fate in His hands
for this was a divine hook-up that the Lord our God had planned
Now Naomi needed Ruth too but was to afraid to admit it
as she felt she had been forsaken by the presence of the Holy Spirit
but God was in the midst of that relationship from the very start
He had destined that Ruth and Naomi would never, ever part
for when women worship God great relationships are made in life
with loyalty, love and devotion in the name of Jesus the Christ
In the course of your life there will be people whom you need and require
to help you to be all that you can be in the way that God desires
the clarifiers in your life will help you to see what is your mission
the collaborators in your life will encourage you to come to a decision
the confronters in your life will nag you and stay in your face
while the comforters in your life if they're of God will help you find your place
then the celebrators in your life will help you to rejoice in your victory
with the spirit of love, devotion and a godly loyalty
Now Ruth went on to get remarried but kept Naomi as a member of her household
for their relationship was a divine hook-up that was under God's control
for when women worship God great relationships last an eternity
Naomi and Ruth a divine hook-up of love, devotion and loyalty

Heatbed MK4 – we are almost there (simple, cheap, hot-swappable)
I'd like to post some news about our new heatbed. Completly different approach. I'm working on this idea for nearly two months, inspired by neufeld.newton.ks.us/electronics/?p=864. You can find actual files on Thingiverse:2172. I will publish it under same license as RepRap is at the end of development.
It's configurable for 12, 24 or 48V. It generates 110W of heat. And I'm most proud that its hot-swappable by magnets. You can see how it works on video or my flickr page.
New printer we have – ShaperCube
We have new printer and I have to say awesome one. ShaperCube. It's completly made of Aluminium. You can see few pictures of printer at his creators flickr. Joachim Glauche's flickr.
Machine is using Arduino Mega as main board controlling Stepper Boards 1.2 and DC board which is controlling extruder etc.
Btw. we are first who ever build ShaperCube
You can see our timelapse video of building the whole thing.
Czech (retarded) press about Makerbot at CES
Lol, today when I was checking news at my custom Youtube.com homepage I've found video from CES about Makerbot from one of our Czech techzines Živě.cz. And it was soo much fun that I've almost pissed myself from laught I'll try to translate it, at least the funniest beginning.
This, what in fact looks like wooden kit, is actually a wooden kit and its kit for making things. You'll get box of bricks and you can build your own kit. …
… interesting thing is, that it's not a complete product but it is actually kit, you'll get box of pieces and you have to assemble it by yourself. …
No word about 3D printer, no word about open source, just lame repeating We are so much doooomed here in Czech Republic …
Here is how it should look , thank you Wired!
Heated RepRap print bed MK2
Building heated print beds is very popular these days, so I want to publish our 2 months findings. You should first read Look ma, no Warping, Nopheads Hot metal and serendipity, Zaggos Canned Heat and Zaggos Raftless. Now we have Heated Print Bed MK2, first design wasn't as durable as we wanted (sandwich consist of 2pieces of acrylic) and the heat wasn't spread evenly. Celý příspěvek
Look ma, no WARPING! Heated RepRap print bed
Since we have RepMan (kind of RepRap) 3D printer I was thinking about printing large objets. Of course you start with small things like minimug. But as you start learning how to get good small prints you'll try something bigger and you will probably see large warping. It's caused by different temperatures in the object. Professional machines uses heated print chamber to avoid this, but we can't of course build heated champer since the printer is made from plastic or plexyglass. Great compromise is to build heated print bed. I was inspired by Zaggos work in Pleasant Hardware. But he has MakerBot which has only 10x10cm print bed. RepMan has 4times bigger. I wanted to build my print bed as quick as possible so I used ressistive wire which I have for a while, then some plexyglass and epoxy glue. It build like burger, in three layers 1)Plexyglass 2) ressistive wire + epoxy glue 3) plexyglass. After you do make this you should put it on the straight place, put something heavy and straight on it and leave it for few hours.
[flickr album=72157622837572300 num=5 size=Small]
Don't ask me to exact ressistance of the wire etc. I dont know it You just should make sure that whole print bed rig consumes about 45-55 Watts (you can use more for quicker heating, but you can melt the plexy, so be carefull) for this size, for Makerbot should be enough 25-30 Watts.
I've added (dont forget to drill and sand the place for sensor and cable in bottom piece of plexy) temperature sensor which is done by my brother, so I know if it's warm enough. BTW even plexyglass expands when it's heated, I've had to place some spacers between print bed and lower support plexy contruction. You know, it's a prototype, but it works
I've tried to print when the bed was about 70°C, its quite enough. But higher temperature could be better, I'll test it later.
Here you can se the video from my first printing of "x-carriage-lower_1off" Mendel part.
iPhone controlled R/C car (UPDATED)
(Originally posted on 5th of September 2008) It's still not even a week since I bought a new iPhone 3G and during this time my brother and I did a lot of cool stuff. The iPhone with its accelerometer and multitouch display is ideal for making gadgets. When I got it home, we started thinking about some cool demos which we could make. Incidentally we found an old R/C car model Have you ever seen anything like this? I hadn't Did you ever think that an iPhone could do this? Enjoy!
Update (31st of July 2009)
Hack was very popular, biggest success is one chapter in iPhone Hacks book (O'reilly). It's great experience and I want to say thanks to Damien Stolarz and Brian Jepson.
Many people asked me about source code, here it is. Documentation and howto are in iPhone Hacks book.
OS 3.0 for iPhone brings some new opportunities, including some bluetooth stuff. But unfortunatelly not SPP, so WIFI is still only chance to send something out from iPhone :-/
iPhone controlled R/C car from Josef Průša on Vimeo. Same video on YouTube.com . [ad#obsah] Controlling is very easy with the iPhone 3G. It has five buttons, four of them you can use for traditional "driving" and when you press the last one, it unlocks the accelerometer control in the same way as in many driving games available on AppStore. Realization of this project did not take a long time, only one afternoon. Technically it is realized in a hell-bent way, but obviously it's functional. Schematically: iPhone (OSCemote) → WiFi → PC → Max/Msp → Serial port → Arduino → Original controller. If you have some other cool ideas, leave it in comments. We can surely realize it .
OSCemote is application which sends data from iPhone to PC. It does it thru WIFI using OpenSoundControl protocol. You can buy it in AppStore ore try free lite version (unfortunately without accelerometer support ) By the way, some big and complex audio softwares are compatible with OSC standard. For example, Traktor 3 by Native Instruments can sync tempo over OSC. You can download test patch here. For functionality you have to download Max 5 runtime.
On PC connected to network is running Max patch, which catches data from iPhone, converts it into simpler form and send it thru serial port to Arduino.
Max/Msp is generally used for audiovisual instalations, but also can do crazy things like this project .
Arduino is simple development kit with
microprocessor. Arduino process data from Max and next simulate switching on
real R/C controller using transistors.
If you like our idea, please Dig it!! or link it from your blog
Synchronize multiple collections of Traktor PRO automatically
It might look useless to use Traktor on two or more PCs, eh MACs , but only at first look. In certain conditions it's very helpful or even necessary. For example, me and my brother. We often have common gigs, and both of us has his own MacBook. It was pretty annoying to sync our music every time you modified even one little tag or beatgrid. I hated it We kept most of the time actual collection only on one MacBook, totally impractical if you want to prepare your playlist for next gig …
iPhone2Midi – controll your software with iPhone finally clever
Few moths ago my brother and I've made iPhone controlled R/C car. It starts my thinking about real usage. First attempt was this video on youtube. I'm very bussy these days but I've found some time to make something more complex.

Just in case a shutdown returnsOctober 27,2013The shutdown of the federal government affected many peoples lives. Anyone even partially dependent on government work has cause to be worried, despite promises from lawmakers that they wont put us through this again. Dont bet on it.
Fearing another shutdown, many people joining one of my online discussions wanted to know how to prepare for it the next time.
I recently refinanced my home to a tune of dropping my mortgage payment by $450 a month and getting $20,000 cash out. I still have $125,000 equity in the home. My job situation is slightly more stable now that the government is back, but as a Department of Defense contractor, I know Im facing leaner times ahead.
My fiance and I have gone over the options for what to do with this cash, and we would love some advice. We have two homes, mine rented out to cover the mortgage, very little in savings, about $15,000 in student loans, $30,000 between two car loans and $120,000 in combined income. We were thinking about paying off the student loans and stashing away the remainder for an emergency fund to get us started. Weve already started on a budget that enables us to save around $3,000 a month.
The fundamental debate is should we have liquidity in uncertain times versus getting rid of the debt?
I applaud your efforts to save and get rid of debt. Thats smart in good times and bad. But keep in mind the $20,000 you have isnt free money. Its mortgage debt.
Think of it this way. Using the $20,000 to pay down debt is taking borrowed money to pay down or pay off borrowed money. Youve only restructured this debt. You have not gotten rid of it.
What if you saved the money?
You wouldnt want to risk your emergency money by investing. Therefore, you might park the cash in a savings account. But youd be losing money because the interest rates on deposit accounts are pitifully low compared to the interest rate you are paying on the mortgage.
I would have not pulled out the money. You would have been better off taking the extra monthly savings from the refinance and applying that to your debt along with other cash you found in your budget.
However, youve borrowed the money. Now what? You might as well use it to get rid of your student loans, especially if the interest rates are higher than your mortgage rate. With the remaining cash, pay down your car loan. Or you could use the money to reduce what you owe on your home if you plan on keeping it as a rental for a long time.
(Until youre married, I wouldnt pay down your fiances debt with money you borrowed).
I work for a nonprofit group that was affected by the federal sequester and will most certainly be affected by any future budget fights. I dont live paycheck to paycheck. I have an emergency fund and could easily survive a two-week shutdown, but realistically Im planning for the permanent loss of my job.
Ive tried to do everything right savings, no debt except mortgage, updating skills. We have a rent-paying housemate. I dont buy designer shoes. Still, I could lose everything if the federal funds my agency depends on disappear.
How do you plan for unemployment that may or may not happen? Do I make necessary home repairs or bank the cash? Do I take classes that might help me find a new job, or do I hold on to the money for when Congress defunds us, then refunds us, then threatens our funding again?
If your job is not secure, you should not take on any major expenses until youve got some reasonable assurances as best any of us have now that your job is safe.
So yes, bank as much cash as you can. This is the time to aggressively build up more in your emergency fund to at least six months worth of living expenses.
And yes, if the jobs you are thinking about applying for should you lose your current employment require additional skills you dont have, then take some classes. But dont borrow to go to school.
This wasnt a question but a testimony I wanted to share: I am a federal attorney, and my husband works full time as well in another field. Thanks to you, we had a life happens fund and were working hard to build up a decent emergency savings. When I get my back pay, its going right back into those funds. And well reinitiate our automatic savings transfers so we will get to that six-month mark for emergency savings.

Although I already believed in the commonalities of animal and child abuse, my views were readily echoed by the people I met yesterday at the Pet Expo here in Kansas City.
Over and over through the years as I have learned more about attachment issues and Reactive Attachment Disorder, I have heard it said there are three behaviors often noted in the history of sociopaths… fire setting, bedwetting and animal cruelty. A quick Google search results in many articles and links supporting this correlation, such as this page about "Animal abuse and domestic violence resources."
One of the many lessons learned from the debacle in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina was that folks often won't leave if they have to leave their pets. Similarly, many domestic violence shelters now recognize that abused women and children might not leave if they have to leave pets behind.
As noted by Deputy Dog in my previous post, one of his performing dogs was rescued from a situation where the children and adults in the home thought nothing of using the dog as a soccer ball! How can anyone not connect the dots when animal abuse is tolerated or promoted? Lack of compassion is lack of compassion… and the ability and willingness to hurt something (or someone) weaker than you speaks volumes.
Tonight I watched one of the many spin-offs of Law and Order—Law and Order, Criminal Intent. Verrrrry interesting story line! Seems a foster mom (Whoopi Goldberg of all people!) raised herself a bunch of foster sons, and then manipulated them into stealing and killing for her, led by one of her UNsuccess stories. One comment made by one of the detectives really caught my attention…
"This child has been in foster care since he was three years old and almost certainly has attachment disorder!" Or something to that effect. I didn't listen to it with the idea of quoting it! But WOW, go figure, they mentioned it! In a show that started with a Charlie Manson-like slaughter of a family. I guess the only way RAD can be mentioned is in the heinous cases… but what about the rest of us living with kids who lack empathy, compassion and the ability to be intimate, but aren't so obvious?

Let's answer some Junkyard Mail …
JerryDawg writes: After all the build-up, I'm getting awfully concerned that Isaiah Crowell is going to be another tailback bust for the Dawgs. I've heard and read all kinds of reports that he showed up in Athens with an attitude, skipped some workouts and had to have some of his teammates sit him down and try to get his head on straight. Are you worried, Bill?
I think Mark Richt said it best: "We don't expect Isaiah to save the program. We don't expect Isaiah to put the team on his back. We expect Isaiah to learn what to do and to do things the Georgia way and to try to do anything he can to help the team win as a freshman. We'll see how far that goes."
As for the rumors, I don't put that much stock in anonymous reports on the Internet. But more importantly, can we let the kid have his first official practice as a Georgia Bulldog before we start

Oscar winner Ben Affleck will play Batman/Bruce Wayne opposite Henry Cavill's Superman in the follow-up to the hit "Man of Steel," Warner Bros. announced Thursday.
The film, directed by Zak Snyder, will feature a story that will be a departure from the Chris Nolan-directed "Dark Knight" trilogy starring Christian Bale as Batman that concluded last summer.
"Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne," Snyder said in a statement. "I can't wait to work with him."
"Man of Steel" cast members Amy Adams (Lois Lane) and Lawrence Fishburne (Perry White) are expected to reprise their roles.
Affleck will be the latest in the line of leading men to play the tortured crime fighter. Previous inhabitants of the cowl on the big screen include Michael Keaton, Affleck's close friend George Clooney, and Val Kilmer. Adam West played Batman in the campy 1960s TV show.
This will be Affleck's second turn playing a masked hero from a comic book. He starred as the title character in 2003's poorly received "Daredevil," based on the Marvel comic.
Affleck won an Oscar for co-writing the screenplay for "Good Will Hunting." In recent years, he has also earned acclaim as the director of the dramas "Gone Baby Gone," "The Town," and Best Picture Oscar winner "Argo."

Indiana's latest economic development initiative is already producing results. The National Center for Complex Operations (NCCO) announced today that BAE Systems' Unmanned Aircraft Programs Group (UAP) in Tucson, AZ has signed on as its first customer, tapping into a multi-billion dollar industry that is expected to skyrocket in the next decade and create hundreds of jobs.
The NCCO integrates state, federal, military and academia's support to both private industry and public sector entities seeking to use Indiana's unique defense assets. The streamlined, "one-stop" approach provides customers with ease of access, cost savings and reduced waiting times.
"We create greater efficiencies for our customers and our costs are amongst the lowest in the nation," said Matt Konkler, NCCO Executive Director.
"In a time of leaner defense budgets, creating cost effective solutions is critical to attract this type of business," said Vice Admiral Mike Bucchi. A retired U.S. Naval officer, Bucchi is Vice Chair of the NCCO board of directors.
Incorporated by Indiana Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman at the beginning of 2012, the organization connects state, federal, and private interests with services, programs, and training and testing capabilities that serve the U.S. armed forces, government agencies and private industry.
"We believe this approach to economic development provides the best opportunity to grow business in the defense sector and related industries," said Skillman. "Our new partnership with BAE Systems is just the beginning."
While Unmanned Systems and Robotics is one of the organization's key focus areas, the NCCO is also focusing on Cyber Systems, Power & Energy, Modeling and Simulation and Special Operations. All of these areas rely on an integrated, synergistic operating space to be most efficient and effective.
"We have a unique set of resources in Indiana and a commitment from our partners to fully integrate our approach," said Konkler. "And we're always looking for better ways, and new partners, to achieve success."
Konkler pointed to a recent partnership between Indiana and Ohio to pursue one of six FAA test sites for Unmanned Aerial Systems as a great example. And he hopes to partner with other neighboring states to create a Midwestern option to customers seeking to utilize the region's outstanding defense assets.
Konkler added that much of this work has practical implications well beyond the traditional defense sector, with law enforcement, Homeland Security, weather forecasting and even agricultural applications being tested and implemented.
"The potential in the unmanned systems arena alone is phenomenal," said Konkler.
Konkler cited the level of cooperation amongst the Indiana National Guard, participating colleges and universities, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) and numerous local, state and federal officials as critical to the success of this initiative.
"I have to commend the Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman, our Industry partners and all partner agencies committed to this process and to grow the defense business in Indiana. We're already seeing positive results and we're just getting started," said Konkler.

Dear All
I have experience of being at the Shridhar university. My experience with the university has been very good. I find this place as good as other reputed institutes. The university is established by the state government and recognised by the UGC. The university has approval of AICTE, though the norms do not ask for it. The faculty at this university are very good, well qualified and experienced. The best thing i like about the university is the personalised attention that the students get from the faculties. The classes run on regular basis with a quality check from the higher management. The fee structure is also very transparent, no hidden costs are there in it.
Best of luck to all the students of Shridhar University

there is no join / termination rule. if they want they kick any faculty any time without any intimation. and if faculty terminated they won,t pay him salary of last month and any PF or something.
As per student its totally fake, the exams are fake they simply alot them grade there is no criteria of passing, there is no sullabus no schedule for exams and semesters. nothing its just taking money and distributing degrees.
its my humble request to UGC and other monitoring organisation. Please take action immediatly.

Operators below the rich-gas line are not crying over dry Eagle Ford shale gas. Instead, they are counting silver linings behind other opportunistic pay zones.
Some 4,000 Eagle Ford shale aficionados gathered in San Antonio, Texas, in October 2011 for Hart Energy's Developing Unconventional Gas Eagle Ford conference to talk about one of the world's most prominent shale gas plays. But notably, three operators took the stage to talk about other hydrocarbon zones in South Texas – because the economics are better than the Eagle Ford.
Better than the dry-gas window, at least, where these operators hold the majority of their interests south of the more-favored rich gas/condensate and oil zones of the Eagle Ford shale. With natural gas prices remaining depressed, producers have focused their attention and public hype on Eagle Ford zones with liquids, which deliver higher rates of return.
And yet none of these dry-zone operators seems to lament what might have been. In fact, the leaders of Swift Energy, Laredo Energy, and Escondido Resources II are excited about the potential value of the resources underlying their positions, even declaring that the economics are as good as Eagle Ford sweet spots.
Bruce Vincent, president of Swift and former chairman of the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA), is enthusiastic about the Olmos formation, a low-permeability sandstone that lies above the Eagle Ford. The Houston-based company currently holds about 44,000 net acres prospective for the Olmos.
"We drilled a horizontal well in the Olmos prior to drilling our first Eagle Ford well, and surprise, the economics were terrific – in a lot of ways similar to what we're finding in the liquids-rich Eagle Ford area," he said.
The key word is horizontal. Swift Energy has been drilling vertical wells into the Olmos here for 20 years, but it is the introduction of hydraulic fracturing techniques combined with horizontal drilling – introduced to this scrubbrush region by Eagle Ford operators – that has made South Texas a cornucopia of revived multizone pays.
Within the Olmos trend, Swift uses two economic models – one with free-flowing condensate and the other with high-Btu gas. "The gas generally runs 1,250 to 1,300 Btus, so you strip out a lot of liquids, which really improves the economics," Vincent said.
Swift estimates it has 275 Olmos locations on 160-acre spacing. It expects a resource potential of 6 Bcf and costs of US $8.5 million to $9 million per well with a 1,830-m (6,000-ft) lateral.
Beyond the Eagle Ford
Laredo Energy, a privately held Houston-based company with backing from EnCap Investments and Avista Capital Partners in its fourth iteration, has drilled more than 400 wells in Webb and Zapata counties over the years. Until three years ago, however, none of the team had ever drilled a horizontal well, according to Laredo President and CEO Glenn Hart. "That's all we do now," Hart said.
Laredo IV was built to focus on the Escondido formation. With previous iterations targeting the Lobo trend, in 2007 the company turned its attention to the shallower Escondido in northern Webb County. Those plans, however, were soon sidetracked. "We didn't go looking for a shale play, but very much to our surprise, a shale play wandered into the neighborhood," he said.
Beating the land rush, Laredo amassed a 134,000-gross-acre (78,000 net) position prospective for the Eagle Ford 40 km (25 miles) west and on strike with Petrohawk Energy Corp.'s original discovery and began proving up the perimeter. But a funny thing happened on the way to the Eagle Ford, he said. "We were finding a tremendous amount of hydrocarbons in these wells."
When several wells showed other pay zones, Laredo skidded the rig over and has now drilled an additional seven horizontal wells into the Escondido and Olmos formations. The results of the Escondido wells have been remarkable, Hart noted, with some showing sustained rates of 10 MMcf/d to 12 MMcf/d from 1,524-m (5,000-ft) laterals.
Laredo now is drilling Escondido wells to preserve the deeper Eagle Ford rights for when gas prices improve.
"In the short term, the economics of the shallower non-Eagle Ford wells are better," he said. With two rigs running, "the biggest part of our 2012 budget will be drilling non-Eagle Ford horizons. With cheaper costs (to drill into shallower zones) and almost as big of reserves, it's clearly the direction we should be going short term," Hart said.
Not to be ignored are other zones with significant pay, including Wilcox, San Miguel, Austin Chalk, and the Pearsall shale. Take the Austin Chalk, a dry-gas trend oft considered 1990s news. Down in South Texas, core samples of the chalk look the same as the Eagle Ford – black rock with flecks of limestone. As Laredo drilled its first Eagle Ford wells, Hart's geologists repeatedly insisted he look at the Austin Chalk logs.
"We've been flabbergasted at the performance of the two additional stages in the Austin Chalk," he said. "It adds about 1.5 Bcf incrementally for a very low cost."
According to Hart, the technique is one method of improving economics in the dry-gas Eagle Ford window.
Laredo followed on with two additional Chalk horizontals. "So far, it looks like the production from the Austin Chalk wells is every bit as good as the Eagle Ford," Hart said.
Combined with the Eagle Ford, the resource base of the two, including the Austin Chalk, on Laredo's acreage is huge, he said. "We're talking 5,000 to 6,000 locations with 15 Tcf recoverable."
Hidden reserves
Bill Deupree, president and chief executive of Escondido Resources II, says the Midland, Texas-based private company is at a crossroads. With 30,000 acres prospective for the Eagle Ford shale and another 60,000 in the shallow reservoirs of the Olmos and Escondido, it is trying to decide which way it should turn its capex.
"Do we follow the pack and keep drilling Eagle Ford wells, or go a different direction and employ the new technology gained from drilling these Eagle Ford wells to our old friends the Olmos and Escondido?" he asked.
Deupree calls the Olmos and Escondido reservoirs the "hidden reserves" of South Texas. The company focused its leasing efforts on multipay opportunities in Webb, LaSalle, and McMullen counties, which pushed it into the dry zone of the Eagle Ford. It now holds 60,000 acres there with a choice of targets.
Escondido Resources drilled its first Escondido horizontal well in 2009, immediately following its first Eagle Ford well, and has now drilled 25 horizontal wells: 16 in the Escondido, five in the Olmos, and four in the Eagle Ford.
Escondido I – sold in 2007 for $250 million – drilled 190 vertical Escondido and Olmos wells with a peak production of 25 MMcf/d, "which we considered phenomenal at the time," Deupree said. However, "Our last three wells in Escondido II will produce the same amount from the exact same reservoirs."
In January 2011, the company drilled its best well ever, an Escondido well with a 1,524-m (5,000-ft) lateral that had an initial production (IP) of 12 MMcf/d. Cumulative production is 5 Bcf in five months.
And the Escondido and Olmos are both rich gas, about 1,130 Btu. "We get quite an uptick from processing on those wells," Deupree said. With 15 wells completed into the Escondido, the company averaged an IP of 7 MMcf/d with 4.8 Bcf estimated ultimate recovery.
"These results have exceeded our expectations," Deupree said. "The economics of drilling in the Escondido and Olmos formations are excellent even in the current gas price environment and are comparable – if not better – than the rich-gas Eagle Ford trend."
Escondido's focus in 2012 will be on the Escondido and Olmos reservoirs, with about 85% of its $150 million to $200 million budget directed there. All of its efforts will be horizontal. "Overall, our results in the Eagle Ford have been good, but our results in the Escondido and Olmos have been better. We're not going to totally exclude the Eagle Ford, but we need gas prices to improve a lot of the acreage in the dry gas portion of the trend."
Escondido II now sports more than 600 drilling locations across multiple objectives. Deupree estimates the company holds 2.5 Tcf or more of gross resource potential in South Texas.
"We are applying new technology to an old, established, producing area," he said. "We are now targeting these same reservoirs with horizontal drilling and large slickwater fracs and have been having excellent results."

I just finished watching the second episode of this season. Shorteralls anyone? Jessa hasn't been in this season much so far. I think she was pregnant or just had a baby during the filming. Did anyone else hear that? Anyway, for the brief times we've seen her this season, Jessa's style remains the same as last season. I think she primarily shops vintage but might also shop at places like Urban Outfitters or Gypsy Warrior. Where do you think Jessa shops for clothes?

Last Saturday in Dili, the capital of Timor-Leste, 6,208 runners lined up for a 5K fun run. Most of them were schoolchildren, many of whom had trained using New York Road Runners' A Running Start videos.
They were joined by the outgoing president of Timor-Leste, Dr. José Ramos-Horta, who walked the race wearing a red NYRR cap and a proud smile.
"It was an honor to be a part of this event," said Chrissy Odalen, director of program and administration for NYRR Youth and Community Services, who traveled to Timor-Leste for the race. "Seeing thousands of children eagerly lined up to take part in this fun run was a glimpse into the future of running in Timor-Leste."
How did all of this come about?
In 2010, Australians Richard Bell and Mick Stone were working in the office of President Ramos-Horta and accompanied a Timorese athlete to the 2010 ING New York City Marathon. That was where they learned about NYRR's A Running Start program, a free online coaching resource with 83 videos developed by NYRR to help youth coaches teach the fundamentals of running through age-appropriate games, activities, and drills.
Because President Ramos-Horta saw running as a means of maintaining peace in the country by building community and strengthening bonds, Bell and Stone reached out to NYRR to help gain access to the videos for distribution to as many Timorese educators and coaches as possible as part of Ramos-Horta's "City of Peace" initiative.
Beginning in 2011, a 7K was run in conjunction with the Dili Marathon and half-marathon; this year the 7K became a 5K and the series of races added a 10K as well, conducted in partnership with Peace and Sport, an NYRR charity partner. Two of the top finishers in the 2011 marathon, Calisto da Costa and Lola Gonsalves, were brought to New York to compete in the 2011 ING New York City Marathon, where da Costa finished in 2:46:03 and Gonsalves crossed the line in 3:51:43.
This year, da Costa won the Dili Marathon in 2:46:42, while Gonsalves Gama—having discarded her shoes along the way—finished fourth in 4:12:35.
Odalen said the morning began with thousands of children, most in their school uniforms and many either barefoot or in thin sandals, lining the road in the pre-dawn darkness, waiting for the 5K to begin. Once the marathon and half-marathon began, the kids took off in a blur of color.
"Part of our program teaches the kids how to pace themselves, but this race was so exciting that they took off in the same mad dash kids all over the world make when a race starts," chuckled Odalen. "They'll know how to pace themselves better next time."
President Ramos-Horta, whom Odalen said seemed to enjoy talking to the children during the race, walked with 1992 Olympic marathon silver medalist Yuko Arimori of Japan, who traveled to Timor-Leste as part of an exchange program with the Tokyo Marathon.
The series of races kicked off a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the independence of Timor-Leste, commonly called East Timor, from Indonesia.

Oregon's first pot shops get permits
Mar 24, 2014
By the Associated Press and N-R staff
The Legislature last year approved a measure legalizing the pot facilities, effective this month. The dispensaries had previously operated in a legal gray area.
The Oregon Health Authority said Friday that it had received 288 applications since it began taking them March 3. It said it had issued the first eight permits.
"For the first time, a legal and regulatory structure is in place to govern the operation of dispensaries," said Tom Burns, OHA's director of pharmacy programs.
Seven of the first eight shops gave the OHA authority to release their business names. They are Oregon's Finest, Portland; Pure Green, Portland; N.W. Green Oasis, Portland; The Releaf Center, Hermiston; Cherry City Compassion, Salem; Doctor Jolly's, Bend; and EmeraldCity Medicinal, Eugene.
Jim Galba of H2Organics of McMinnville has filed his state application and paid the $4,000 application fee. He was hoping to site a dispensary at his Bunn Village business, which is under county jurisdiction, but a one-year county moratorium on dispensary siting forced him to seek a city location instead.
He could not be reached regarding the status of his application.
Applications were denied for 22 facilities because of incomplete paperwork or locations not meeting stipulations in the law. Another 20 facilities were granted provisional licenses that will allow them to begin operating once they have suitable security alarms installed.
Those that have been fully cleared can begin operating legally as soon as they get their permit certificates in the mail, said spokeswoman Karynn Fish.
That's only if they aren't barred by local authorities. Earlier this month, the Legislature gave cities and counties the power to block the facilities within their communities until May 2015, though local officials had asked for authority to enact permanent bans.
Nearly two dozen local governments have already passed or are considering ordinances to block the shops within their borders, at least temporarily.
Draft rules were released early last week that would allow facility owners to get a refund of the application fee if a moratorium blocks them from opening, but those rules will not go into effect until this week, Fish said.

Ashraf has posted this review in the comments over on the GAOTD page and on his own site here:
The Good
* Supports many input video formats.
* Supports multiple output video formats.
* You can choose from predefined profiles for things like DVD, VCD, iPod, PSP, Zune, etc.
* You can rip just the audio from videos if you want.
* Very light on resources/lighter on computer resources then FormatFactory.
* You can drag + drop files into the converter.
* You can convert more then one file at once.
* You can change volume of sound in videos when converting.
The Bad
* You can't input or output SWF videos.
* A few interface improvements can be made.
Free Alternatives
Any Video Converter
ConvertVid deserves two thumbs up. It is a very nice program that supports multiple input/output formats and is very light on computer resources. While it is true it does not have all the features that FormatFactory has, ConvertVid outshines FormatFactory in the field of computer resources usage (or lack there of since ConvertVid is more light on resources - see numbers above). Therefore this is my recommendation for today: if you are on an older computer or you would like a video converting program that is light on resources, grab ConvertVid. Everyone else can just stick to FormatFactory because FF can basically do all of what ConvertVid can (with like just the one exception I mentioned above) ...

Adult Merry Jane - Black / White
Quick Overview
We call it our "Merry" Jane because it makes feet so happy! This shoe was designed to be your go-to everyday footwear—comfortable and stylish!
- Flexible, minimal Vibram rubber sole molds to your foot.
- Buckle closure for adjustable fit.
- Choose from our stock colors or design your own!
- Handcrafted in USA from premium, formaldehyde-free leathers.
The minimal, flexible design of this shoe allows natural foot function with a buckle closure for an adjustable fit. We hear from many women who tell us their foot pain disappears when they put on these Merry Janes! Made with our signature premium full grain leather and durable Vibram soles.
Interested in a sheepskin innersole for this shoe? Click here!
Note: in the past, our adult Merry Jane shoes featured a faux buckle with a Velcro strap. Our current model comes with a real buckle, but the Velcro/faux buckle is still available as a Design-Your-Own option.
Please use table below to best find your corresponding size. For best results, rely on your standard US shoe size. We find this to be the best place to start for adults and generally the most reliable method.
Wide/Narrow: Trouble deciding your width? Our best recommendation is to order a wide or narrow only if you have found you need those custom widths in other brands for your feet to be comfortable. If you have never found you needed wide or narrow shoes before then we suggest sticking with our regular width.
Style notes:
If you find yourself between two shoe sizes, we recommend ordering the larger size. This is especially true of our adult Phoenix Boots and Rogue casual shoes, which run a bit small.
For detailed instructions on how to measure your foot, please click here to view our sizing guide.
Care Tips for Full Grain Leather Shoes
Soft Star Shoes are made from eco-friendly, tanned in USA leathers. Leather is a natural product and some variation in texture and markings is to be expected. Because we use natural food-grade dyes in our leather, there will likely be some initial color transference to your socks or skin if your shoes become damp - this will decrease with use but please don't wear your new Soft Stars with your favorite white socks the first time you take them for a spin.
If your shoes are a little snug at first in the toe box area, you can gently stretch them by stuffing the toe box with a slightly damp rag. Push the cloth tightly into the front of the shoe - don't worry, you cannot hurt it! Let the shoes sit stuffed overnight to stretch.
The full grain leather we use is naturally water resistant. Clean as needed with water dampened rag and let air dry. Condition the leather as often as desired with any quality leather dressing, but take care to keep it away from the edges of your rubber soles. Mink oil can degrade the adhesion on bonded soles and cause the sole to separate from your shoe over time. We highly recommend Bee Natural Amore for general conditioning or Rain & Snow on leather for enhanced water resistance. The color on shiny metallic shoes will eventually patina with use into an antique wear look - this can be accelerated with repeated use to water and high wear (e.g. scuffing toes).
You can use a damp cloth, or if needed you can hand wash your leather shoes using a gentle shampoo and cool water. We don't recommend frequent washing of any leather product as it strips the leather of it's natural oils and tends to dry stiffer.
We are often asked if our shoes can be washed in a washing machine. While not recommended as a normal course of action, when in dire straits the Elves have been known to toss a pair of shoes in the machine and generally have had good results - just don't mix them with any other item because of color bleeding, and do NOT put shoes the dryer. Shoes with sheepskin can take 3-4 days to air dry if fully submerged in water - you can speed up the drying by stuffing with old newspapers and replacing the paper 2x a day.

"Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" (also called "The Magic Song")[1] is a novelty song, written in 1948 by Al Hoffman, Mack David, and Jerry Livingston. It was introduced in the 1950 film Cinderella, performed by actress Verna Felton.
Ilene Woods and The Woodsmen with Harold Mooney and His Orchestra recorded it in Hollywood on October 26, 1949. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 31-00138B and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog numbers B 9970, SG 2371, HM 3755 and JM 2678.
A recording by Perry Como and The Fontane Sisters was the most popular. It was recorded on November 7, 1949 and released by RCA Victor Records as a 78 rpm single (catalog number 20-3607-B) and as a 45rpm single (catalog number 47-3113-B). The flip side was "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes". The recording reached number 14 on the Billboard chart.[2] The same single was released in the United Kingdom by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as a 78rpm single (catalog number B 9961). It was also released with catalogue numbers HN 2730, X 7279, SAB 8 and IP 615.
Another recording, by Jo Stafford and Gordon MacRae, was released by Capitol Records as catalog number 782. The record first reached the Billboard charts on December 16, 1949 and lasted 7 weeks on the chart, peaking at number 19. It was backed with "Echoes" on the flip side.[2]
On the Cash Box Best-Selling Record charts, where all versions were combined, the song reached number 7.
This song was used in a Gatorade commercial starring Sergio Ramos, Leo Messi, David Luiz and Landon Donovan promoting the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
The lyrics of the song, as with the title, are composed nearly entirely of nonsense. The Cinderella LP insert lists the lyrics as follows:
Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo Put 'em together and what have you got bibbidi-bobbidi-boo
Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo It'll do magic believe it or not bibbidi-bobbidi-boo
Salagadoola means mechicka boolaroo But the thingmabob that does the job is bibbidi-bobbidi-boo
Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo Put 'em together and what have you got bibbidi-bobbidi bibbidi-bobbidi bibbidi-bobbidi-boo
The 1948 recording, however, has several extra English lines that were not used in the 1950 Disney version, including: "If your mind is in a dither, and your heart is in a haze, I'll haze your dither, and dither your haze, with a magic phrase.", and "if you're chased around by trouble, and followed by a jinx, I'll jinx your trouble, and trouble your jinx, in less than forty winks." The tempo of the various recordings also differs widely.
Parodies and puns[edit]
Akira Toriyama named three characters in his Dragon Ball series named after this song.[citation needed] The characters are the evil wizard named Bibbidi, his son Bobbidi, and the powerful demon Bibbidi created, Majin Boo.
The song is parodied on the Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain episode "Narfily Ever After", a parody of Cinderella.
A parody version recorded by Mickey Katz is entitled "The Bubbe, the Baby, and You".
The lyrics of the song are algebraically analyzed in a math lesson by Mr. Garrison in the South Park episode "Royal Pudding".
The title of the song is sung several times in Buck-Tick's song "Django!!! -Genwaku no Django-" from their album Razzle Dazzle.
This phrase is often referenced in other Disney stories - mostly when magic is being used. For example, in Aladdin: The Return of Jafar, and also in the Hercules TV series, in the 'one Saturday morning episodes,' Episode 12: "Hercules and the Gorgon."
The popular radio show "My Favorite Husband" episode which aired on July 27, 1950 makes fun of the nonsense words of this song. The title of the episode is "Liz Writes A Song".
Shrek 2 features a parody of the song, sung by Fiona's fairy godmother.
The phrase "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo" goes back at least to the story "Bubnoff and the Devil" by Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883). In this story, the devil's daughter is named Bibbidibobbidibu.[citation needed] This story, as adapted by Marvin Kaye, appears in Masterpieces of Terror and the Supernatural, Doubleday, 1985. (This may have been Kaye's borrowing from the song, however; http://rvb.ru/turgenev/01text/vol_01/04unpublished/0100.htm has the daughter's name as Бабебибобу - "babebibobu").
In the Disney/Square Enix crossover game Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: the song has been reorchestrated by Yoko Shimomura as the theme tune for the Cinderella world Castle Of Dreams.
On the 2012 album Disney - Koe no Oujisama, which features various Japanese voice actors covering Disney songs, this song was covered by Jun Fukuyama.

Can Romney survive the summer storm?By Dan Balz, The Washington Post
Mitt Romney's team has a more-than-plausible theory about how to win the presidential election in a time of economic duress. The key question is whether that theory can survive the summer storm that threatens to envelop the Republican's candidacy. Romney's operation is under a relentless and carefully choreographed assault from President Obama's campaign, which has used the new media environment to feed and amplify a negative advertising effort that has cost tens of millions of dollars.Read more
All quiet on the war frontBy Doyle McManus, Los Angeles Times
Here's an important fact you haven't heard much about in the presidential campaign: The armed forces of the United States are at war in at least four countries, and that number could increase any day. About 87,000 Americans are still fighting in Afghanistan, and some are likely to stay past 2014. We're at war in neighboring Pakistan too, mostly using unmanned drones but with a handful of people on the ground.Read more
Philosophic Clash Over Government's Role Highlights Parties' DivideBy Peter Baker, The New York Times
It took only a few days for it to become a favorite Republican talking point. President Obama told an audience that "if you've got a business, you didn't build that; somebody else made that happen." Suddenly his critics had proof that he does not believe in individual success or the free market. Mitt Romney scrapped much of his stump speech on Wednesday to focus on the line and sent surrogates to reinforce the point. Mr. Obama's aides said he was taken out of context, that he was referring to the value of public structures like bridges and roads in the nation's commerce.Read more
Oops: What Bernanke Said Five Years Ago Today.By David Wessel, The Wall Street Journal
Five years ago, July 18, 2007, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testified before the House Financial Services Committee as he is today. The housing bubble was bursting, cracks in the global financial system were just beginning to appear, but Bernanke didn't sound terribly worried or prescient.Read more

Romney and Obama Resume Economic Attacks, Despite a Few DiversionsBy Peter Baker and Trip Gabriel, The New York Times
The argument between Mitt Romney and President Obama over who is better suited to help American workers get back on their feet got personal again on Tuesday, with Mr. Romney saying he was "ashamed" of Mr. Obama for giving government loans to well-connected donors. The overarching dispute is which candidate's view of government might lift a struggling economy: Mr. Romney's belief in lower taxes and fewer regulations, or Mr. Obama's vision of a vital role for government.Read more
Romney campaign says Obama should "learn to be an American"By Sam Youngman, Reuters
Republican Mitt Romney's campaign unleashed new attacks on President Barack Obama on Tuesday, with one of Romney's surrogates saying he wished Obama "would learn to be an American" before apologizing within hours for the remark. On a conference call with reporters, former New Hampshire Governor John Sununu blasted Obama and his campaign, calling them a "bunch of liars."Read more
Obama Stresses Story Over Policy in Re-election StrategyBy Alexis Simendinger, RealClearPolitics
Michelle Obama put out the word Monday that President Obama will celebrate his 51st birthday next month with donor friends at their house in Chicago, including a few small-dollar contributors who will be flown in as winners of yet another campaign raffle. Last year at a dazzling Chicago extravaganza to celebrate his mid-century mark, the president raised funds from well-wishers at events small and large held in the sweltering Aragon Entertainment Center. Jennifer Hudson and Herbie Hancock supplied the music for an energized evening organized around a re-election race that still seemed distant.Read more
Pennsylvania in Play?By Beth Reinhard, National Journal
Just six weeks ago, conventional wisdom was that Pennsylvania was off the table. Mitt Romney's campaign didn't list it as a top target, and his state chairman said the GOP nominee himself was skeptical he could win there. A Republican nominee hasn't won the state since 1988 and it didn't look like 2012 would be any different. Today the picture does look different. The Rust Belt has been getting a lot of attention from both campaigns as they court white, blue-collar voters. Romney is holding a rally in Irwin, PA, Tuesday afternoon, and President Obama's campaign announced it is running a tough new anti-Romney ad exclusively in the state. Pro-Romney super PACs are also spending money there.Read more from National Journal
U.S. economic fears shift from Europe toward 'fiscal cliff'By Michael A. Fletcher and Zachary A Goldfarb, The Washington Post
The main threat to the economy is shifting from what others may do to us to what we are doing to ourselves. For much of the year, economists worried about the impact of the slowdown in Europe on the U.S. economy. Now, analysts say anxiety about the impact of the fast-approaching fiscal cliff — the series of federal spending cuts and tax hikes set to take effect at the beginning of 2013 if Congress and the Obama administration do not act — is displacing Europe as the primary threat to the nation's sputtering economy.

Obama Winning UglyBy John Dickerson, Slate
If Barack Obama wins this election, he's going to win ugly. Job creation is anemic, voters think the country is going in the wrong direction, and the president has been unable to convince them otherwise. So, the path is clear: Destroy your opponent and pander to your base. Obama Wan Kenobi, it's your only hope. This has been obvious for months. It was clear, at the very least, from the president's campaign kick-off back in May.Read more
Obama and Romney Step Up Accusations on JobsBy Peter Baker, The New York Times
President Obama and Mitt Romney escalated their running battle over capitalism, integrity and the economy on Monday as each sought to portray the other as part of the nation's problem rather than its solution. At a freewheeling town-hall-style meeting with supporters here, Mr. Obama took aim at Mr. Romney's corporate tax proposals, saying they would create jobs overseas rather than at home. Mr. Romney's campaign accused Mr. Obama of "crony capitalism" by using government resources to reward donors at the expense of the middle class.Read more

Obama Ad Targets Romney's Tax ReturnsBy Laura Meckler, The Wall Street Journal
The Obama campaign is working to keep alive the controversy over Republican rival Mitt Romney's refusal to release more than two years of his personal income taxes. On Tuesday, it questions that decision in a new TV ad airing in the Pittsburgh market, where Mr. Romney will be campaigning. The ad, entitled "Makes You Wonder," is a quick hit– expected to run for only a day—and the goal may be to generate free media attention as much as to move views of voters who see the spot.Read more
Drought in U.S. reaching levels not seen in 50 years, pushing up crop pricesBy Michael Fletcher and Peter Whoriskey, The Washington Post
A drought gripping the Corn Belt and more than half the United States has reached proportions not seen in more than 50 years, the government reported Monday, jacking up crop prices and threatening to drive up the cost of food. Though agriculture is a small part of the U.S. economy, the shortfall comes as the nation struggles to regain its economic footing. Last week, the Agriculture Department declared more than 1,000 counties in 26 states as natural-disaster areas.Read more

Democrats threaten to go over 'fiscal cliff' if GOP fails to raise taxesBy Lori Montgomery, The Washington Post
Democrats are making increasingly explicit threats about their willingness to let nearly $600 billion worth of tax hikes and spending cuts take effect in January unless Republicans drop their opposition to higher taxes for the nation's wealthiest households. Emboldened by signs that GOP resistance to new taxes may be weakening, senior Democrats say they are prepared to weather a fiscal event that could plunge the nation back into recession if the new year arrives without an acceptable compromise.Read more
Obama to tout auto bailout, tax policies in OhioBy Charles Babington, Associated Press
President Barack Obama is preparing to tell Ohio voters that Republican Mitt Romney's tax proposals would spur job growth in foreign countries including China. The president also plans Monday to highlight his administration's 2009 bailout of the auto industry, which saved thousands of jobs in Ohio, according to Democrats. Romney opposed Obama's use of massive federal loans to keep Chrysler and General Motors afloat while they reorganized under bankruptcy protection.Read more
In Pawlenty, Romney Campaign May Find Down-to-Earth AppealBy Jeff Zeleny, The New York Times
It was four years ago this summer, when Tim Pawlenty ranked high on the list of John McCain's potential running mates, and Mr. Pawlenty and his wife, Mary, were plowing through a voluminous questionnaire probing deep into their finances and almost every other aspect of their lives.Read more
Oops! I Did It AgainBy John Dickerson, Slate Magazine
"Presidents cannot admit mistakes," a senior Bush administration official once told me. Admitting mistakes makes a president look weak, gives critics ammunition, leads to more questions, and sets a dangerous precedent for the next time everything doesn't go to plan. Once you've admitted a mistake, where do you stop? You definitely don't want to admit a mistake in an election year. So when Charlie Rose showed up at the White House asking the president what he thought his big mistake was, all that remained a mystery was how Obama would evade the question.Read more
Analysis: Rivals on left, right battle in Supreme CourtBy Joan Biskupic, Reuters
They are heavyweights in the ring that is the U.S. Supreme Court. These button-down, Ivy League-credentialed versions of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier represent Washington versus the states and the competing left-right ideologies behind that conflict. And the punches they throw - and take - while at the courtroom lectern have captured as much attention as their stances on the law.Read more

The Numbers Behind Obama's Negative Ad CampaignBy Beth Reinhard, National Journal
Looking for a little hope and change from President Obama's reelection campaign? Give it up. The vast majority of the president's television spending this week bashes Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, either over his business record, his position on abortion rights, or his tax plan. Since April, just over half—about $27 million out of $51 million—of Obama's television spending has been on negative ads, according to a GOP media tracker. But his campaign has taken an overwhelmingly negative turn at a time when the economic recovery is stalling, and it buttresses what the Republicans have been saying for months: The president's overall strategy is to ruin Romney's reputation, leaving voters without a viable alternative.Read more
