Nasal treatment targets Parkinson's disease at its roots
Print this Page Home > News > 2013 > Nasal treatment targets Parkinson's disease at its roots
Each year, 60,000 adults are newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, aneurodegenerative disorder that causes a slew of symptoms, includingtremors, slowed movements, and changes in speech. The drugs currentlyavailable to treat PD patients help them regain some of the motor controllost through the disease, but don't treat the underlying cause, said BarbaraWaszczak, a professor of pharmaceutical sciences in the Bouvé College ofHealth Sciences.
"Parkinson's is caused by the death of dopamine neurons in a key motorarea of the brain called the substantia nigra," said Waszczak. If you want totreat PD at its roots, she added, then you have to stop the death of theseneural cells. In research reported earlier this week at the ExperimentalBiology 2013 conference in Boston, Waszczak and graduate student BrendanHarmon proposed a treatment approach that does exactly that. What's more, themethod is simple and easy to use.
A naturally produced protein called glial cell-line-derivedneurotropic factor, or GDNF, protects certain cells—including dopamineneurons—against death by activating survival and growth-promoting pathwayswithin, according to Waszczak. In petri dishes on the lab bench, GDNF does agreat job restoring function to damaged and dying dopamine neurons andpreventing further loss. But getting GDNF into the actual animal brain, whichis hard to access from the outside, isn't so simple.
Crossing the so-called "blood brain barrier" has proved a difficultchallenge for Parkinson's researchers. But in previous work, Waszczak's labshowed that GDNF could be delivered to the right location inside the brainthrough a simple intranasal delivery method.
For this to work, however, patients would have to take GDNF repeatedly,because it's readily broken down inside the body. In the new research, Harmontook it a step further, by transfecting brain cells with a gene for GDNF. "Weused a nanoparticle delivery system that incorporates the genetic materialto make GDNF into the DNA itself," said Harmon. "It's like a factory,producing the protein from inside the brain." Copernicus Therapeuticsengineered the nanoparticles.
Harmon first showed that intranasal delivery of the nanoparticlesincreased GDNF production in the brain. Then he showed that the treatmentcould greatly reduce the loss of dopamine neurons in a rat with Parkinson'sdisease. Now the rat's brain can essentially make its own medicine.
Parkinson's patients don't begin showing symptoms until 80 to 90 percentof their dopamine cells have died, said Waszczak. At that point, GDNF wouldhave little use. But for those recently diagnosed with PD or thought to be ata high risk for the disease, this new treatment represents aneuroprotective and neurorestorative approach. "If we can get at it inthe early stages of the disease, when patients are just starting to developsymptoms, then we might be able to stop the disease from getting worse or atleast delay the onset of severe symptoms," Waszczak explained.
The team hopes to continue its exploration to hone in on more nuancedquestions, such as how often the nasal treatments need to be administeredand at what doses, and whether the approach works in other animal models.

Hey I'm a 4th year in Multimedia I'm trying to think of final year project ideas using the Arduino. My ideas were to develop a wearable glove which acts as a mouse using, blue tooth, pressure pads and infra-red or a remote controlled robot that has a web cam the web cam is controlled by a infra-red device worn like glasses which has a screen in built into the lens.
I would like to hear feedback on these ideas or any ideas that you can think of. The ideas can be of a wide range.

Bulletin Reaches an Important Milestone
It's been a little more than 2 years since the launch of the NCI Cancer Bulletin. This week we reach our 100th issue, an important milestone not just for the Bulletin but, in my view, for the entire institute.
The National Cancer Act includes a mandate for NCI to broadly communicate to the public and the research community about our research efforts and the progress being made against cancer. Our commitment to that directive is evident, whether it's in our award-winning Web site, our annual progress report, the NCI Listens and Learns online forum, or our highly regarded science writers' seminars, to cite just a few of our activities.
The Bulletin has become a very special part of our response to that mandate. It is helping to ensure transparency and provides an ideal avenue to continuously inform our numerous constituencies. The Bulletin is the only publication that offers a single source for comprehensive coverage of NCI programs and research; up-to-date stories on important cancer advances; articles on significant trends or potentially groundbreaking research; summaries of open, NCI-sponsored clinical trials; and most especially a direct insight into the thinking and planning among NCI's leadership as evidenced by the weekly Director's Update.
I think it's for that very reason that the number of subscribers has increased from 8,000 at its launch to nearly 23,000 subscribers today, many of whom distribute this free publication to members of their organizations. As one reader, a colorectal cancer survivor, kindly wrote in an e-mail: "Is it possible to tell you how much I look forward to your publication each week?" The Bulletin, she continued, allows her to keep up to date on cancer research "far more than any other source."
To ensure that we are meeting our subscribers' needs, we have conducted two readership surveys, the second of which was just recently completed. The preliminary results of that survey provide some important insights. Two-thirds of the more than 2,000 respondents said the Bulletin was very informative. A majority of readers agreed that the Bulletin is a very valuable source of information on cancer research and NCI activities, and would recommend it to a friend or colleague.
We also learned from the survey that a diverse audience subscribes to the Bulletin. Seven of 10 respondents work in a cancer-related activity, while approximately 19 percent have been touched by cancer as patient, survivor, or caregiver of a cancer patient - up from 12 percent in 2004.
The survey also solicited content ideas and feedback on ways to improve the Bulletin. Two already-planned changes include longer, more in-depth Spotlights and regular articles reporting on components of NCI's intramural research program.
Other suggested changes that we will be considering include more hotlinks to information cited in articles, special issues that focus on specific cancers, and layout improvements to enhance the readability of the both the HTML and PDF versions.
I'd like to thank those readers who took their valuable time to respond to the survey and to all of our readers for helping to make the Bulletin a success. As always, feedback on the Bulletin - praise, criticism, suggestions, questions - is welcome at any time by sending an e-mail to email@example.com.
What began as a pilot project has blossomed into a well-respected, well-read publication that responds to an important mandate in the National Cancer Act. We are committed to continuously improving the content and providing the most valuable publication we can.
Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach

Chip Towers, the AJC's beat writer for UGA, may have said it best: If you thought it was hard for Georgia to make the SEC Championship game, try getting a ticket in the Georgia Dome for Saturday's game.
It's one of the most expensive non-Bowl tickets in college football.
On Sunday night, the cheapest ticket on StubHub.com was $320 – and that doesn't include shipping and handling (It ends up being closer to $400).
And those were seats in the upper, upper section of the Georgia Dome and in the corner of the end zone. But at least you could say you were there, right?
What if you're a Georgia fan, you think this is the first must-see game since the 1980 national championship, and you want tickets on the 50-yard line? Those will run you anywhere from $794 to $1,176. Maybe an early Christmas gift to yourself?
The winner of Alabama-Georgia will advance to the BCS championship game.
And if you're confident of your team winning, whether it be Alabama or Georgia, and you want to see them play in the BCS Championship? You may get "deal" if you buy the tickets early. They are starting at $1,588 on StubHub. Tickets on the 50 are between $5,000 and $13,500.
Makes the SEC Championship game seem like a bargain, eh?
Tickets for the ACC Championship in Charlotte start at $4.50.

Cheap seats for the ACC Championship should run you about $25. Or there may be a give away. If you promise to just show up, we will just give you the tickets. And this is coming from a VERY frustrated FSU grad/fan. Does anyone know anybody at the Big 12 or SEC that will let us in? Oh and does anyone have $50 million we can have as our exit penalty? We are willing to be your Homecoming opponent (SEC or Big 12) for the next few years until we "relearn" the sport of football. The ACC is DESTROYING FSU athletics and our university administration is too stupid to realize it. God, I pray for the dismantling of the ACC so bad I can taste it!!!!!!

Unreal that tickets would be so high as this is just taking advantage of the regular fan! I wouldn't pay face value since the price is still too high!!!

I would think FSU and Clemson would fit better in the SEC. They have SEC-sized stadiums and fan-bases, SEC-worthy pedigrees, and already have to play SEC rivals every year. FSU's baseball team would fit right in with the baseball powerhouses of the SEC. Yeah, conference championships in football would be REALLY hard to win, but the new playoff format would mean the 2nd or 3rd SEC team would still have a shot at the national championship each year. All the extra bowl money, TV contract money, and ticket/merchandise sales could pay off the $50 million buyout pretty quick.

A few years ago, me and a buddy went to the Clemson-GA Tech Thursday night game in Atlanta. I was wearing a UGA shirt, he was wearing a South Carolina shirt. Thirty minutes before kickoff we bought two tickets on the 40 yard line for $20 total.
The SEC and the ACC are quite different, to say the least.

And I will be in section 305 Saturday afternoon. $300 and worth every penny.

Breathe Life Into Your Life Story: How to write a story people will want to read. By Dawn and Morris Thurston. Published by Signature Books, Salt Lake City, Utah; 2007. 213 pages. ISBN 1560850949.
The pages of this newly-published how-to book are filled with helpful advice and examples to help the reader create an interesting, well-written life story. The authors, Dawn and Morris Thurston, have presented a methodical approach to putting your thoughts and stories on paper. This book will be helpful to those who have always wanted to write their life story but never had the courage to pick up a pen. It also serves the experienced writer well with ideas, hints, and tips to overcome a writer's block hurdle.
The book begins with a "pep talk," a chapter filled with encouraging words. The authors demonstrate that by following a plan, and using this book for guidance, the reader will become a writer. Everyone has a story to share. With encouragement, these stories can be written and preserved.
The authors offer an abundance of quality writing examples throughout the book. These examples serve to accentuate the points made in each chapter. Many how-to books tell the reader how to write. This book offers numerous examples of good writing throughout each chapter that demonstrate each principle. These examples illustrate the authors' point of showing your readers the details of your life through your life story rather than merely superficially telling a story. Showing involves action and vivid descriptions. This principle of "showing" resonates throughout the book.
The authors have created a guide to help the reader to "learn by doing." There are several dozen specific tips offered throughout the book that will provide impetus for moving pen on paper. These tips, offered in grayed boxes, correlate with each chapter's theme. They allow the book's reader to apply principles learned in each chapter to immediate practice. Appendix A provides a complete list of these learn-by-doing exercises.
Dawn and Morris Thurston have written a useful manual. Their years of experience in writing, and helping others to write, shine through in the pages of Breathe Life Into Your Life Story. If you have been thinking of writing your life story, or even if the thought has not crossed your mind, this book will provide the encouragement and the guidance to put your life stories on paper. Your grandchildren will be glad you did.

Energy Stocks that Promise Dividend Growth and Safety
Aubrey is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There is no doubt: growth is residing in the energy sector nowadays. So for those seeking dividend income growth and safety, I suggest you choose from among the top energy stocks out there. Below I've chosen stocks that have impressive records of dividend growth in the recent past: ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP), Chevron (NYSE: CVX), and EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG). You will find that these have healthy payout ratios, thus demonstrating their ability for sustainable dividend growth in the future. And since these are picked from among the top-rated companies in the sector, you can be assured of sound fundamentals that determine dividend safety. If you have doubts, read on and check them out yourself.
Sources: Nasdaq.com, Finviz.com, Ycharts.com, and Yahoo Finance; data as of Feb. 14, 2013
ConocoPhillips has been increasing its dividends by an average rate of 11.78% for the past 3 years. Although the company has not made an increase in 2012, the dividend amount of $2.64 per share is already very high. Given the fundamentals of COP, this is likely to continue into the future. ConocoPhillips' valuation is at a healthy level, as shown by its P/E ratio of 9.80. It is highly profitable, with a net margin of 12.07%. In fact, if you look deeper at the trend, its profitability has significantly improved in 2011 and 2012 compared to the previous years. In terms of earnings, the company has been impressively surpassing consensus estimates for the last 3 quarters now. Thanks to the large amount of cash that the company is sitting on, its payout ratio (using cash flow) is at a healthy level of 23%.
Source: Nasdaq.com
Chevron was able to grow its dividends within the last 3 years by an average rate of 9.7%. This is very impressive given the high dividend amount that it is already paying its investors. In 2012, the annualized amount was $3.51 per share. Like COP, Chevron has a low P/E ratio of 8.69 and a high profit margin, at 10.89%. The large amount of cash it has allows it to distribute high dividend amounts and still have a payout ratio based on a cash flow of 22.8%. This company relies very minimally on debt to finance its operations; its debt-equity ratio is a low 0.09. Meanwhile, CVX failed to meet the consensus estimate for its earnings in the fiscal quarter ending in December 2012, but by a small margin of 1.65%. And this should not bother investors given its encouraging growth prospects. Among the future sources of growth in Chevron's operations is the success of its exploration activities in Australia. If these materialize and drilling becomes successful, Chevron is likely to lead in the supply of natural gas and LNG in the Asia-Pacific belt.
Source: Nasdaq.com
EOG Resources
The third in my list is EOG Resources. The dividend growth at EOG may be less exciting than those of the previous two, at an average rate of 5.5% for the last 3 years, but as long as the dividend is safe based on its strong fundamentals, there are high chances for continued growth in the future. EOG has a very low payout ratio of 15.12% (3.2% if based on cash flow). Also, its profitability in recent years has been improving; it currently has a double digit margin of 10.45%. Furthermore, it has remarkably surpassed earnings estimates in the last two quarters by a wide margin. For example, the earnings for the fiscal quarter ending in September 2012 exceeded the estimates by 54%. Currently, the company's P/E ratio is at a decent 30.17 with its forward ratio placed at 21.03.
Source: Nasdaq.com
With this energy boom in our midst, it is wise to sort through many promising stocks. This is only one of my attempts to hunt for those companies that demonstrate their ability to ensure the safety and continued growth of their dividend payments.

Taylor 612e-2014 Grand Concert ES2 Acoustic-Electric GuitarpThe Taylor 612e Grand Concert ES2 Acoustic-Electric Guitar has an intimate feel while retaining its tonal brightness and clarity.Maple/SitkaThe distinctive blend of big leaf maple and sitka spruce creates a bright, crystalline timbre with strong projection and warm overtones so the 612ce really cuts through.Grand Concert (GC)The Grand Concert shape of the Taylor 612ce Acoustic-Electric defines intimacy in its size and sound. The GC is dynamically responsive to a lighter touch and is well-suited for fingerpicking. With clarity and balance, it's also perfect for mic'ing and home recording.Expression System 2The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor's ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor's proprietary behind-the-saddle pickup (patent pending), which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before. Together with Taylor's custom-designed "professional audio"-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar.Behind the ES2 Design: Rethinking the Piezo PickupFor decades, piezo-electric transducers have been positioned under the saddle of a guitar based on the long-held belief that the string and top vibration cause the saddle to "bounce" up and down. But Taylor's electronics team, led by developer David Hosler, discovered that the vertical movement is actually heavily restricted, and that the saddle gets "locked down" due to the string tension's downward pressure. That's why a traditional under-saddle pickup with piezo-electric crystals often responds with a sound often characterized as thin, brittle, brash or synthetic, especially with more aggressive playing.The saddle's natural range of movement as the guitar is being played is actually back and forth like a pendulum. That revelation led Taylor's design team to relocate the crystals from under the saddle to behind it. The new positioning enables the crystals to respond more naturally to the guitar's energy as it is transferred through the saddle. Three pickup sensors are installed behind the saddle, through the bridge, with three tiny Allen screws that calibrate the position of the sensors in relation to the saddle.Like the original Expression System, the ES2 features the same volume and tone control knobs. The preamp is similar but with a slightly different gain structure. As a result it will be about 25 percent hotter, which is more in line with other pickups. This makes it plug-and-play friendly both for artists and live sound mixers.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

A Tucson hotel went up in flames and killed 29 people in 1970. The judge in the trial second-guessed the jury's decision to convict the man and some network TV reports raised questions about the verdict.After spending 42 years in prison, the man's reportedly going to enter a plea deal that will set him free.1970s video shows flames shooting out the windows of the Pioneer Hotel, where a Christmas party was being held.The building did not have a sprinkler system and some exits were locked.A total of 29 people died and several jumped to their deaths.Louis Taylor, just 16-years-old at the time, was convicted of setting the fire, even though he helped some guests escape. He was reportedly known as a trouble-maker and police say he couldn't explain why he was at the hotel.Taylor was sentenced to life in prison, but the judge second-guessed the jury's decision.Subsequent reports on "60 Minutes" and Court TV's "The System" raised questions about whether Taylor was wrongly convicted.Last October, attorneys with the Arizona Justice Project filed a motion asking the case to be dismissed or for an evidentiary hearing. They say evidence does not prove the fire was an arson.Much of the case evidence is reportedly gone, destroyed or missing.Last week Taylor, now 58-years-old, reportedly accepted a plea deal that gives him credit for time served.Tuesday, he's expected to plead no-contest to the charges in exchange for his freedom.Tucson's newspaper, the Arizona Daily Star, says Taylor initially rejected the deal.He always maintained his innocence.

The Future of Chinese Technology – Social Manufacturing?
Nick is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Prior to joining Global X Funds, Alex Ashby lived and traveled extensively throughout Asia. He currently manages a group of six ETFs covering the consumer, energy, financial, industrial, material, and technology sectors of the Chinese economy. The Global X NASDAQ China Technology ETF (NASDAQ QQQC) provides investors with exposure to technology companies in China and is designed to be a transparent, cost-efficient way to get access to the country's growing tech and social media sectors.
[continued from Spies Like Us – Chinese Technology Sector Expanding]
Nick Slepko: At 8.6%, China's Facebook Tencent (NASDAQOTH: TCEHY) is the single largest holding of the fund. Lenovo is second [~8%], and online media service Sina (NASDAQ: SINA) third [~7.3%]. How much of QQQC is related to and/or dependent upon trends in social media?
Slepko Ashby: Tencent, Sina, and Netease are also important parts of our [global] Social Media Index ETF as well, however the China Tech ETF is a broader technology play - social media doesn't dominate the fund and is currently less than 25% of the composition (although this could change if social media continues to grow rapidly). At the moment, there is actually more hardware and software exposure. Taiwanese Foxconn [Hon Hai Precision Industry] (NASDAQOTH: FXCNY) has extensive operations in China and an exposure to industrials in a way as well, but its demand comes mostly from the technology sector. So, while social media is the early stages of its growth and monetization, the hardware producers are also expected to benefit from the continued expansion of social media.
Slepko: Semiconductor Manufacturing International (NYSE: SMI) is a little less famous (or infamous) than Foxconn, but is also one of those Chinese companies that seems to make everything. Where do you see it going over the next decade?
Alex Ashby: SMI has been successful in executing its strategy thus far and may become more familiar to investors in the future. Their current customers are all names that US investors probably recognize – including Qualcomm and Texas Instruments – and they have also recently announced some new technology in chip manufacturing for high growth areas like mobile phones. Their business model has also been successful in leveraging local government involvement in capital intensive projects, which has helped reduce expenditures for capital intensive manufacturing plants. The recent issues with Foxconn that you alluded to have demonstrated the increasing focus on labor rights and working conditions, so that will definitely be a challenge that these companies will be prioritizing moving forward.
Slepko: Which companies do you think are the stronger aspects of the ETF? What names are going to be as well-known by Americans as Lenovo?
Ashby: Domestically, Tencent is well-known in China (like most of the Chinese social media companies), but currently there is very little chance that Americans will be exposed to their brand or products. This is one reason why the fund is so interesting for investors because it is a chance for investors to get exposure to names that are domestically focused at the moment. We view the social media companies like Tencent and Renren (NYSE: RENN) as having significant potential, simply because of the strong demand for social media in the country and the still relatively low levels of Internet penetration. Existing users are fairly active in terms of usage, but the main wild card here is the extent of government involvement and censorship of content. Again, this is a potential area where we could see some changes and reforms with the new leadership, and where we expect to get some more clarity over the next several months – particularly if anything controversial starts making the rounds in local social media and prompting some sort of government action (or inaction).

Love my new Camry! by CamryInBatonRouge on 01/06/2011. Trim: 2011 Toyota Camry SE 6-Spd AT, Owned 1 year.
Pros: This car is roomy. I was set on a Honda Accord but after driving the Camry SE I was sold. Its sporty and comfortable.
Cons: I got the red with black interior. Black interior shows every spec of dirt and with a four year old theres no way to keep it immaculate.
Overall review: This car is great for the price!

Romney still faces uphill fight to win White House
The former Massachusetts governor may have the Republican nomination sewn up, but speculators in markets set up by Intrade and the Iowa Electronic Markets don't see much change in his chances of winning.
The bad news for Mitt Romney is that the near certainty of his nomination isn't helping how investors in futures based on the election view his chances. They think he's got a big selling job ahead.
Trading on the election on Intrade.com, the Irish trading site that lets you take positions for or against just about everything, gives Romney only a 37% chance of winning the election. That's down slightly from the last time we looked at Intrade's trading trends.
President Obama has a 60.3% change of winning re-election. That probability has changed little in the last six weeks.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., who has vowed to stay in the primary campaign, has a 1% chance of winning the Republication nomination and a 0.3% chance of winning the presidency.
What's pushing the odds lower for Romney may well be that a huge gender gap has opened up over his candidacy.
In 12 swing states -- Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin -- included in a Gallup/USA Today survey, Obama leads Romney 51% to 42%.
In mid-February, Obama took less than half of the vote from women under 50 years old. Now he wins more than 60% of them. (Obama is ahead of Romney among all women by 18 points.)
That rapid consolidation of women behind Obama, the Washington Post said today, "seems directly attributable to the focus in the Republican presidential primary on contraception and other reproductive-rights issues during the past six weeks or so."
A number of party leaders have thrown up their hands in frustration — insisting that the candidates should be spending all their time talking about the economy.
Intrade runs what it calls "predictive" markets, letting investors speculate on the outcomes of any number of possible events. If you buy shares in an Obama win, you'll be paying $6 or so. There is always someone else on the other side of the trade. If Obama wins, you get $10. If he doesn't, you get nothing.
The Iowa Electronic Markets system, which also lets you speculate on the election, sees the Democrat, i.e., Obama, taking 52.6% of the popular vote, with a 60% chance of winning the popular vote. The Iowa system only looks at the popular vote.
Do I detect hatoraid here?
Pubs doing it to themselves. You can't keep bringing up social issues (especially long fought womens issues, like abortion, birth control, etc) and hope to win. You lose women, you lose the election. Period.
Of course, they can thank Ricky rick for that. If they want to win, they have to stay focused on 3 things, economy, deficit, taxes. Straying into social issues they will lose every single swing state doing that.
insisting that the candidates should be spending all their time talking about the economy,
If politicians on both sides of the of the political spectrum haven't heard what Main Street has been screaming about since the start of the Great Recession .. there may be some new faces in Washington this coming winter.
I am a 30 year member of the Republican Party who finally understands that with less government in our lives as a cornerstone of our party; we (Republicans) have yet earned the right to gain the added benefits that go along with a less regulated private sector. Until we live by examples that don't put added burdens upon society such as failures in Wall Street, constant schemes to provide 2% of our society with more than 80% of our countries net wealth, I can't ask others to carry the burden. I now fully understand that we are a government of the people, by the people, and by asking for less government, we are essentially asking for a government (our people) to make decisions based on just a few people in the private sector who make up the majority of the 2% that have added so much to our present problems. Therefore, I will always put the will of the majority before my personal gain, especially if I know that my gain will only be made on the backs of others, to the detriment of the majority in society. Anything less is simply an immoral act in the face of God.
Whether Romney can win or not remains to be seen. I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut that the better odds are BO self destructing. Go the wrong way with Israel, keep ticking off religious organizations. Gasoline at 6-$7.00 a gallon. Sorry, he's on the wrong side of too many folks right now. Is Romney better than BO? A lot of folks will say anybody is.
It's gonna take a lot more than that.
Economy has to fold hard.
Don't get me wrong, Romney could win, but it's unlikely. Religion just isn't that important to people these days, neither is Isreal. Gas is important, but it doesn't actually move votes.
As it is in the general POTUS election, Romney has to win the Red Leaning States, and 70% of the swing votes. He only leads Iowa, Missouri currently.

text: PASADENA, CA (WHBL) - Wisconsin lost its third straight Rose Bowl Tuesday night, 20-14 to eighth-ranked Stanford. The Badgers spotted Stanford a 14-0 lead early, which athletic director Barry Alvarez called a "microcosm of their whole season." But Wisconsin battled back to get within three at the half. And then both defenses hunkered down, with a combined seven punts in the third quarter. What looked like a game-winning touchdown drive for Stanford ended up with a 22-yard field goal by Jordan Williamson with 4:23 left, putting the Cardinal up by six. The Badgers then moved past midfield when quarterback Curt Phillips threw an interception to Usua Amanan with 2:03 left – and that gave Stanford its first Rose Bowl victory since 1972. Montee Ball ran for 100 yards in his final game as a Badger and he became the first player to score a touchdown in three Rose Bowls, with an 11-yard run in the second quarter. Phillips threw for 83 yards and a score, as Alvarez returned to his old coaching role for one game after Bret Bielema suddenly left for Arkansas almost a month ago. The loss ruined Alvarez's perfect 3-0 Rose Bowl record with Wisconsin since 1993, and it capped off an 8-6 season for the Badgers. Kevin Hogan threw for 123 yards for Stanford, which last played in the Rose Bowl in 2000 with a loss to Wisconsin. The Cardinal had a slight edge in total yards, 344-301. Stepfan Taylor ran for 88 yards and a T-D. Kelsey Young had the other touchdown on the ground for Stanford, which ended at 12-2 on the season. Mequon native Ben Gardner,who went to Stanford after Wisconsin wouldn't give him a full scholarship, had six tackles and a pass break-up against the Badgers.

Family, friends, and fellow officers came to support the police captain who died in his home Monday. Captain Jack Long lost a two and a half month battle to cancer. Friends and family honored the police captain by describing his work in Uptown Columbus and his selfless attitude. The Columbus Police Department showed overwhelming support as they laid to rest one of their own.
As law enforcement officers streamed into the sanctuary, those in attendance remembered the impact Captain Long had on the community. Emotions were visible as Archie Rainey read comments from community leaders remembering Captain Long's life.
"Jackey was always a good friend. He's a real cop's cop. He loved the Columbus Police Department and loved his police family," says Rainey. Captain Long was diagnosed with cancer in April and died in his home Monday. He last attended a huge fundraiser in his honor just a couple weeks ago. His pastor, Brad Melton, says he had a big and kind heart.
"He had a tender heart. He had a good heart, and he would always help you out," says Melton. Captain Long had a 38 year police career serving the majority of that time with the Columbus Police Department.
"Jackey was a true public safety personnel. He served his community with strength, intelligence, and compassion," says Rainey. Police Chief Ricky Boren and Mayor Teresa Tomlinson also showed their support Thursday. Friends remember Long as a servant leader who gave his all to his family and his work.
"Jackey was a good person, who gave more than he expected in return," says Rainey. Captain Long is survived by his wife of 44 years, Becky, his 2 daughters, a son-in-law, and several siblings.

S v Dumakude & othersThis is a matter of Kwa Makutha umuthi killings which the CGE picked up from the media and initiated the process of monitoring. As on October 26th, the matter was postponed for directives in the Magistrates court until directions from the DPP for the matter to be heard in the High Court. The matter was set down for trial on the 26th May to 27 June 2008.Shayamoya KillingsThe Commission is monitoring the matter. The bail hearing was adjudicated on 9th and 27th November 2007 and further postponements following. On 4 March 2008 the matter was postponed for further investigation on 23 April 2008. Zoliswa NkonyanaCGE is monitoring this matter. The deceased Ms. Nkonyana was stabbed and stoned to death by a mob as a result of her sexual orientation. The matter was postponed several times until it was transferred to the Regional court and finally placed on the roll for the 21 April 2008.Shilubane matterThis matter was heard 27 November 2007 before the Constitutional Court. The CGE is acting as amicus curiae (friend of court). It is an appeal from the Supreme Court of Appeal. The matter raises important issues concerning rights of women and Customary Law. It further raises at its core the role of the Courts in instances where communities have taken steps to develop their Customary Law norms and practices to bring them in line with the Constitution. In this matter the CGE adopts a position that where a community has of its own accord, developed its customary law norms and practices so as to bring them in line with the spirit and purport of the Constitution Courts must as far as possible recognize such a development.The General Secretary of CONTRALESA appeared before Court with the view of applying for his organization to be admitted as amicus and applying for postponement of the matter to get an opportunity to read all the pleadings filed by parties before Court. He made his application (which was not served) and even though it was not clear what their interest was and/ or what their argument is going to be CONTRALESA application for amicus was granted and they were admitted as amicus. They were ordered to serve and file their papers by Tuesday the 4th of December 2007and the response thereto by other parties by Tuesday the 11th 2007. Application for Postponement was refused and it was held that their argument will only be presented on paper. The Justices indicated their regret that CONTRALESA came in, at this late and indicated that their reasons for not following the Court Rules was not sound enough but they will be allowed to join as amicus.Argument from all parties was heard and judgment has been reserved.COLLABORATIONIn our quest to attain gender equality in our society the CGE is expected to forge a good working relationship with other organizations such as Chapter 9 institutions, non governmental organizations and the government. Our collaboration with these institutions play very important role in realizing our mandate. During the 2007/8 financial year the Legal Department had collaborated with various institutions and or NGO's on an ad hoc basis.SUMMARY OF GROUNDWORK AND FINDINGS OF THE SURVEY CONDUCTED BY THE CGE AT TWENTY MAGISTERIAL COURTS AND POLICE STATION FROM 2002 JANUARY UNTIL 2003
