"Become Your Own Boss In 12 Months," she wrote. Today, Melinda F. Emerson was on Good Day to talk about how anyone can take their lives into their own hands and turn their own ideas into reality.
"The number one reason why small businesses fail is because people don't think about what their life will be like running their small business," said Emerson. "In the first few years your business owns you, you don't own your business. So you have to be prepared for."
Emerson explains that the number two reason for failure is that people don't have networks to sell to. After all, must small businesses get their starting clients through referrals; therefore, keep in touch with friends!
Emerson also emphasizes that you have to save enough money! You have limited time and limited resources when you first start out.
"The money to start your own business will come from your left or right pocket," said Emerson. Emerson also emphasizes that you have to find your niche target. Don't try to chase after anyone who has money.
"It's much easier to hit a target if you know what that target is."
There are five businesses that you can start today, says Emerson, who reaches about 3 million entrepreneurs a week online.
"Confidence is 90 percent. You have to believe in yourself. If you don't believe it, why would anybody buy from you? You have got to do that. You've got to have that in play," said Emerson.
So for those of you who want to start your own business, watch the whole segment above and turn your dreams into a reality!

You know it's a good lineup when the TV with the "Best. Picture. Ever." isn't even near the top of the list. CNET's editors have full reviews of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus -- and yes; they're outstanding -- some WeMo LEDs made our smart-home reviewers happy, and more.

September just started, and already it's just busy, busy, busy around the various CNET offices. Next week, some company (whose name eludes me at the moment) is supposed to announce some new product, and CNET editors will be there, too. But despite all that activity, our team managed to review some fetching gear, so whether you're drawn to styluses or want to try out a Chromebook, or just like looking at new gadgetry, read on.
CNET's crew of editors reviewed a nice variety of products this week; sort of like a sampler box of chocolates, except it's gear and gadgets for the various parts of your life. We've got things small enough to fit in your ear and other things that require a garage to store.
We're finding great products all along the price gamut this week. The beautiful, high-end Xiaomi Mi 4 gets an "Oustanding," and a gaming laptop impresses; meanwhile, CNET's editors also rated an excellent AV receiver, an appealing smart light bulb, and the best "ultrabudget" laser printer you can buy.

Is intelligent design science and should it be taught in public schools?
Most definitions of modern science describe a methodology of finding testable explanations of the universe or similar.
I often hear evolution is a theory not a fact. A scientific theory explains the facts and is verifiable or demonstrable. Evolution is one of the most validated theories around.
I propose ID is not science. It is not verifiable and its challenges to evolution. For example the arguments about irreducible complexity have been debunked e.g. a subset of components of the bacterial flagellum are used by some bacteria inject harmful proteins into other cells. There are so many transitional forms scientists argue whether some of them are birds, reptiles or mammals.
To allow ID into science you would need to change the definition of science and drop the testable requirement. This would enable astrology, alchemy and crystal healing alongside astronomy, chemistry and physics.
I also hear the argument why not include all sides of the debate. Scientifically there is no debate. Philosophically, this is akin to suggesting alchemy be taught alongside chemistry, or Greek mythology as history.
I propose it should not. This does not stop parents teaching their kids any religious dogma they choose within the law. But it is not science and religious beliefs have no place being taught in public schools.
Closing Statement from Obey No1kinobe
ID is a form of creationism promoted by the Discovery Institute and supported by many evangelical Christians. The Institute defines it as "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
Evolutionary theory is the foundation of modern biology. Whether you want to believe it or not explains the development different species and genetic similarities between species. Essentially gene frequency changes due to natural selection, from less adapted to more adapted. At some stage the divergence of one group may get to the point where they can not interbreed successfully with other related groups or their ancestors ie they become a new species. This is a gradual process, supported by much evidence in the fossil record, DNA and gene analysis.
The key argument for ID is irreducible complexity which proposes the bacterial flagellum, immune system, blood clotting could not have evolved or developed from something similar. They need all the parts to do anything. In all cases it has been proven that these are reducable. They could have evolved.
ID is basically, life is complex, hard to explain, so it must be designed. Read the comments and Í hope you see there is a sound argument that ID has tried to bypass scientific consensus. It is a discredited hypothesis except for those who want to believe. Also, you start to get into mythology when you try and describe and explain the creator for which there is nop verifiable evidence.
While there is no scientific evidence for design, we can not scientifically say the universe isn't. That is a philosophical question. If you value the truth then science can inform faith. We can respect religion except where it is wrong. The universe is not 6,000 years old. Life evolved. We should not make special exceptions to promote falsehoods in schools. Our children deserve better. If our growing understanding makes some beliefs obsolete, so be it

Aug 16 2012: Obey:
"Regarding: Shouldn't parents decide what their children are taught?"
"So I suggest no Parents should not have absolute authority to choose what is taught."
But, parents should be free "to teach whatever they wish, want or think is right", right?
Now I am not as smart as the average cell but isn't "creating something in 6 days", actually a form of evolution?
Isn't time necessary for evolution, whereas creation is instantaneous? I thought it was.
Anyway, why isn't all this an "ever-advancing creation?" for every thing is created in some manner and at some point manifests itself in whatever form it is in, and then it evolves, for whatever length of time it evolves over.
Neither science nor religion can or will prove their claims.
But, I am against forcing anyone to be taught religious beliefs, doctrine or dogma against their will, knowledge or against the will of their caretakers, without real proof of religious claims.
So, ultimately, I believe children should be taught the truth as it is known and proven, and religion, unfortunately for them, has no proof. Religion says there is more than the material. Science says there is more than the material.
Personally though, I want an emotional orgasm, not a scientific one.
IF ID Is true, then why isn't it true throughout? Everything? It certainly isn't and the range between what might be intelligent beauty and absolute stupidity is enormous. Too big to accept that it is ID, unless of course the ID are the first two letters of the word, IDiot.
Aug 16 2012: Hi Random. I think parents should have more freedom to teach what they choose in their own home.
But children are not property and I don't support Parents having absolute right freedom to treat their children any way they want.
I'm personally against religious or atheist indoctrination of children. We seem to agree? To me it is a form of abuse. Although I'm not at the point where I would outlaw this.
Creation can be either instantaneous or over some period of time I guess. An all powerful god could have rolled all 6 days into an instant if he choose. Just then the story would not be so poetic. An all powerful and all knowing god can do anything it wants any way it wants.
I'm not sure what you mean by science not being able to prove its claims. Do you mean just in regards to long past events. Or because of the limitations of our perception etc. Science claims a rock will accelerate at 9.81 m/s/s with some adjustment for air friction. And this happens repeatably. The reliability of science when applied has resulted in the computer you are using to make this comment.
Not sure what you mean by science says there is more than material. I think science works by testing things. If a supernatural claim can not be tested, there is not much it can offer to science and vice versa. Perhaps reason might come to conclusions about many mutually exclusive supernatural claims. They can't all be right. But they can all be wrong.
I don't find not having a belief in god has reduced my joy in life. Actually feel better in some ways compared to when tried to believe while starting to realise it was all bunk.
Aug 16 2012: HI Obey.
I believe science and religion are both wrong. In some way, about something very important. I don't know what that is. To my mind, they are both seeking to prove, explain, reveal or in some way show they are correct about the same issue; namely how this unique-verse came to be and what followed or is following, who we are and the future in some way as well.
What both have failed to do, is to prove that.
My experience with religion and religious people has "proven' to me however, that the main purpose of religion is the total annihilation of the human spirit. And my experience with science is that it's main purpose is the annihilation of the human species.
Other than those two things, I find there to be what I call the three M's in life: mystery, magic and meaning, and science at times acts much like a bleach, taking these all out. Not much to enjoy once they have bleached it. Thus, why I want an emotional orgasm and not a scientific one.
Neither side really seems interested in building a bridge between them, which I have imagined many or most people would like. Humanity would seem to be in great need of a bridge being built. But each side only wants to win the argument outright. That really doesn't work for me.
There is empirical evidence that nothing, is, and that nothing works, and that something truly miraculous (not necessarily in a religious sense), comes from that nothingness. But, I'm running out of characters.
Science is always telling us that the material isn't what it seems or appears to be. And that is true. A steel beam is really electrons flying around one another at incredible speeds. It isn't as dense as we think or observe, and if you hit it with your fist, you don't actually hit it. You hit the field created by the electrons. So in a way, science and religion can find agreement but choose not to.
Certainly God doesn't exist but I am just as certain that certainly something just is. Zero comes before one.
Aug 17 2012: Thanks Random. I enjoy reading your perspective.
Re the steel beam I guess it has density (mass/volume), but is only solid because our eyes didn't evolve to see things as small as electrons, even if that is biologically possible.
In a way our understanding of the universe is limited by our senses and our brains ability to process and interpret and communicative this, enhanced by the limits of our technology, from the hubble telescope and microscope to the electron microscop, haldron collider and Hubble telescope and all the data collecting and computing power at our disposal.....but still limited by our brains ability to conceptualise and put this into words.
Aug 16 2012: Obey: You said:
"But children are not property and I don't support Parents having absolute right freedom to treat their children any way they want."
But, I didn't say "treat them any way they want to, but I said teach them what they want to."
So, by this do you mean that you want to force or reprogram people to believe and behave the way you think they should?
Aug 16 2012: Is it absolutely necessary to define creation as instantaneous? Could we all consider evolution as creation slow motion?
Here we are on Earth many multi-millenia from the beginnings of things and we debate the beginning as though we are rather settled in our opinions.
Is there room in the mind of each of us for possibilities?
Aug 18 2012: The "big"bang" if you will was the highest influx of energy and radiation the universe has ever seen. Einstein revolutionized science with Relativity by changing the way people percieved molecules, Mass accelarated fast enough can be converted into energy, whereas energy slowed down can become mass again. The universe was like an explosion of energy which expanded outward simontaneously in all directions and kept going much like a perpetual shockwave. We know from Newton's law of motion that an object in motion will remain in motion unless another force acts upon it. As the initial release of energy is consolidated to a consistent momentum, remnants of "energy" which was "too slow" to be kept at a certain amplitude of accelaration became MASS as the ENERGY SLOWED. That "mass" is what we know to be the stars, suns, dust, galaxies, nebulas and all other universal debris. The Universe however, is still "in motion" after the initial explosion because there is no force to act against it and so its momentum progresses onward. What does that mean for us? the initial point of origin where the "big bang" occurred is forever getting farther away from our current point or "Location" in the universal plane
The universe expands outward to infinity and is always moving AWAY from its epicenter, which does exist somewhere at some point in "time" (the more the 'Universe' expands, the more time passes), but our existence on earth is constantly getting FURTHER away from the epicenter. why? because the epicenter is a constant that cannot be reached ever because 1. we are traveling too fast to cover the distance necessary; the velocity needed to accelarate to that degree of motion would obliterate your very being. 2. Essentially, you would have to accelarate "Backwards" through space (time) FASTER than the 'universe' was moving "forward" (in all directions) which is faster than the speed of light. our 'existence' is the 'rate of decay' between the origin and infinity...

- I have tried since the end of January to get my W-2. I would really like to file my taxes even though they are going to be late. How do I do this?
Answer by Warrior Accounting
You can file Form 4852, Substitute For Form W-2, with your return. You will be asked on the form how you determined your wage numbers so it would be best if you had your last paystub.
- I'm currently an incoming senior in high school and currently, I am taking multivariables at a community college. I am seriously regretting this decision but the deadline to drop out without a W in my class has already passed. I feel like I am going to get a C or D in this class but I don't know how bad a W will look when I apply to college. Should I drop the class and take the W? What will colleges think when they see the W in my transcript?
Answer by Emmelyn
W is better than a D or F. Just make sure to not get more than 4 W's i would say through your ENTIRE college career. Well that's mostly for transfer students, but still a lot of W's are bad.
- I am a single, recent college grad and just moved into an apartment, and am starting my first full-time job at a corporation. I am filling out my W-4 Form and was wondering how many deductions i am supposed to put on line 5 for total number of allowances. Please help me out. Thanks!
Answer by jingles
You should put either 0 or 1. If you want to get some income tax back at the end of the year, then put 0. If you want more money in your check each week and very little or no money back (maybe even owe a little) then put 1.
Working in a garden may seem like a highly difficult undertaking at the very beginning. This is why it is very important that you start with only a small patch and with simpler plants. By working your way up to a larger garden you will stay interested and avoiding becoming overwhelmed.It is a good idea to pre-soak your seeds in a dark environment overnight. Place a small amount of seeds in a little container, while filling it to the brim with water. That way, the seeds will have sufficient hydration and will have the best start possible. This gives the seeds a better chance of flourishing.Research the amount of water, food and sunlight your plants require for optimal health and growth. Too much water can cause the roots of the plants to actually rot and your plants will die. Too little water can kill your plants as well. Always stay on top of how moisturized your soil is, and make sure you keep it at a healthy level. Gardening Visit This

MS. IFILL: Battling it out in the battleground states, the jobs puzzle, the tea party rises again, and who suffers when Congress doesn't act, tonight, on "Washington Week."
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Hello, Ohio.
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE MITT ROMNEY: It's good to be with my friends in Nevada.
MS. IFILL: Neck and neck, as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney search for a breakout message.
PRES. OBAMA: America's not built from the top down. America's built from the middle up. America's built from the bottom up.
MR. ROMNEY: I'm going to make sure we finally have a president that's serious about getting our budget under control and by the last year of my second term, we'll finally have a balanced budget in this country.
MS. IFILL: But a new jobs report offers no clarity. More jobs added, but the jobless rate goes up, too. Meanwhile, Congress leaves town with much left undone, As yet another tea party candidate trounces yet another establishment candidate, this time in Texas.
TED CRUZ: When we started, they said this was impossible. And you know what, they were right. I couldn't do it, but you could.
MS. IFILL: Covering the week Amy Walter of ABC News, David Wessel of the Wall Street Journal, Susan Davis, USA Today, and Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post.
ANNOUNCER: Award-winning reporting and analysis, covering history as it happens, live from our nation's capital, this is "Washington Week" with Gwen Ifill produced in association with "National Journal."
(Station announcements.)
ANNOUNCER: Once again, live from Washington, moderator Gwen Ifill.
MS. IFILL: Good evening. If you listen closely to the major party candidates for president, you'll see two men at war over a narrative. For President Obama, it is this, that Mitt Romney is out of touch, will raise your taxes, and will not tell you about his. This was the president today.
PRES. OBAMA: At a time when too many working families are already struggling to make ends meet, they want to give millionaires and billionaires and folks like me tax cuts that we don't need and that the country can't afford, even if middle class families have to pick up the tab for it. Those are their priorities.
MS. IFILL: For Governor Romney, it is this that he is the man with the experience to turn the country around without raising taxes or abandoning national priorities.
MR. ROMNEY: My plan is very clear. I will not raise taxes on the American people. I will not raise taxes on middle income Americans. And the president's assertion and his ad's assertion to the country are simply false.
MS. IFILL: Trouble is neither of these narratives seems to be shifting this frozen in place election. New polls show President Obama with a slight edge, but not a big one. Is this just where the pre-convention political status quo is supposed to be in August, Amy?
MS. WALTER: Well –
MS. IFILL: Maybe?
MS. WALTER: Maybe, but really, what's most remarkable about where these two candidates are right is how disliked they are by the American public in August. Usually, we wait for October to dislike our candidates this much. So I went back and looked and where President Obama is right now with his favorable rating – this is not job approval, but how do you feel about him personally – is lower than any incumbent president going into his convention since George H.W. Bush in '93.
MS. IFILL: Really?
MS. WALTER: And if you look at where Mitt Romney is, depending on which poll you look at, it's either the lowest favorable and the highest unfavorableS since 1988 – in fact I couldn't go back any further to see these numbers – or since 1996 with Bob Dole.
MS. IFILL: What's driving this? It's not just because people woke up and said, I don't like him. It's more than that.
MS. WALTER: It's because they've seen nothing but negative ads since April. And since all of us get to live in the Washington, D.C., media market, which covers Virginia, you all know what it's like to turn on the television and just see the nonstop – it's just negative ad after negative ad. Barack Obama has known – his campaign has known really very early on that the way to win this race is to make it a referendum on Mitt Romney and to make him an unacceptable alternative. And they have done that in one sense by raising his negatives or think that's the way to make him unacceptable. But he still has –
MS. IFILL: Romney people figured out the same thing.
MR. WESSEL: But doesn't – isn't at some point the Romney campaign going to figure out that they're going to have to sell the candidate and his program, that it can't just be a referendum on Obama?
MS. WALTER: No, it's a great point. And that's why you're starting to see a couple of things happen. The first is you're starting to see Mitt Romney now tell his own story. Speaking of ads, there's a new ad right now, Mitt Romney driving his own car.
MR. WESSEL: Yes, driving while doing the commercial.
MS. WALTER: Driving while talking. Okay, at least he's not on the cell phone. At the same time, he's actually trying to talk and drive, but where he tells his story in his voice. Because if you talk to voters, they will tell you, we just don't know anything about this guy, Mitt Romney.
The second thing is they believe they have time. They think that the convention is when people start to tune in. We don't need to give specifics before then. Nobody's paying attention to this back and forth, tit for tat. They will when we lay that out for them. But he is – the third thing is he's starting to lay out some specifics, even though they're not completely specific, by saying, I have a five-point plan. You hear this now for the first time in his stump speeches. It's not just a big picture about how bad the economy is, how terrible Mitt Romney is – I'm sorry – Barack Obama is, how terrible things are under his stewardship. It is here are the five things I'm going to do to make things better. Very vague five things, but at least trying to outline the fact that he has five points.
MS. TUMULTY: So they're going to have a big infomercial, but are there – given how frozen in place –
MS. IFILL: What do you mean they're going to have a big infomercial?
MS. TUMULTY: That's what – I mean, they're going to sell the candidate. They're going to use the convention as modern conventions are used, as infomercials. But you know, so many things were supposed to shake the dynamic of this race. The Supreme Court decision on health care, you know, all the outside money, and yet, it stayed frozen. Are there any events between now and the election that could actually change things?
MS. WALTER: So this race is as stuck as it is because Americans are as polarized as they are, too. I mean, you really see when you look at these polls and we talk about undecided voters and independents, there's really very few of those people. So regardless of how you feel about certain events or whether it's the Supreme Court or whether it's about any other event that happens between now and November, you're going to – you have already picked a side. Right, so it's going to be Mitt Romney's fault or Barack Obama's fault no matter what. That said, I do think, in terms of seeing the numbers move, I do think that picking a vice president is going – we might see a little bump there, and I do think the convention – I mean, traditionally, you have had a bump. And I think the one issue that – the good news from Mitt Romney is, the one issue he's had is that he hasn't necessarily completely coalesced Republicans yet. I don't think they're – they're not looking around for somebody else, but the enthusiasm for Mitt Romney is not as strong as – among Republicans, as strong as the enthusiasm for Democrats for Barack Obama.
I think the convention will help do that. You'll see Republicans all come home. Democrats are already there. And then those independents, depending on where they sit, that could move this race.
MS. DAVIS: Do you have a sense from the polling if voters are engaged in the presidential or is the negative ads, the blanketing of information just tuning them out?
MS. WALTER: I think that is an excellent question and we're starting to see – and when you talk to voters out there, they say, we're not paying attention. I'm not ready to tune in yet. I still don't know enough. I'm not getting the information that I want.
MS. IFILL: I'm still trying to –
MS. WALTER: Seeing a lot of it –
MS. IFILL: Still trying to figure out where those sideway dancing horses are. They're much interested in that right now.
MS. WALTER: They're much more interested in that and of course, the synchronized diving.
MS. IFILL: Of course, which we're all waiting for.
Well, let's move on, because this is the first Friday of the month, as close as it comes in our culture to an economic yardstick for this struggling economy. So here is the news. The economic – the economy added 163,000 new jobs in July, yet the jobless rate ticked up from 8.2 to 8.3 percent. In other words, the economy, like the presidential campaign, continues to run in place. But why and what if anything is being done about it? David has a new book out, "Red Ink: Inside the High-Stakes Politics of the Federal Budget." So perhaps, David, you have the answers –
MR. WESSEL: I have all the answers, all the –
MS. IFILL: – conversation. I'm stuck.
MR. WESSEL: It is confusing. So the economy – the government does a survey of employers and that survey found that employers added 163,000 jobs in July, which is twice as many as any of the previous three months. So that was on, without a doubt, good news. And it was nice to have some good news on the economy. But they also go and do a survey of households and that found fewer people said they have jobs, so that's why the unemployment rate went up. The first number is probably a better signal of where the economy is, compared to last month. But the unemployment rate is so high that it just tells you – think of it this way. There're 12.8 million people out of work officially. That means they're still looking for work. That's as many people as live in the state of Pennsylvania, which is our sixth largest state. So there's no way the economy is healthy.
The markets love the numbers. The stock market –
MS. IFILL: That's what I was going to ask about. What's that about, why?
MR. WESSEL: I think there was a sigh of relief on the markets. I think people were really afraid we were about to have another recession. The stock market ended the day higher than any time since May. But it wasn't good enough news to make the Federal Reserve relax. And if you read what all the economists were saying today, they're pretty pessimistic about the rest of the year. And there really are two reasons. One is, it was a year ago, this time of year, last year, that U.S. government debt was downgraded by Standard and Poor's because Congress was dysfunctional and couldn't deal with the deficit. No progress there. We still have this prospect of spending cuts and tax increases at the end of the year. And there's a lot of worry about what's going on in Europe, which continues to get worse. It's so bad that even the Chinese are worried about it.
MS. DAVIS: Is there anything that the Fed can do to juice the economy right now?
MR. WESSEL: Well, that's a good question. So the Fed told us this week that they're on red alert. And if things don't pick up, they're going to do something soon, which probably means September. Too late to do anything good for the economy. Could you keep the stock market healthy? And so that's the only effect I think they can have on the short run.
MS. TUMULTY: But – so all these events that are going to transpire at the end of the year. You know, potentially these automatic cuts going into effect. Is there any evidence that Congress is going to do anything to reassure the markets, to reassure the people who are worried that we're headed to another one of these big traumatic moments?
MS. IFILL: Or would congressional action actually scare them? (Laughter.)
MR. WESSEL: Yes, everybody likes uncertainty until they find out what – (inaudible) – they're worried about uncertainty until they know what uncertainly is. Well, look, Congress has done one thing. They've inched towards – Sue knows – a plan to at least prevent a government shutdown right before the election. Congress essentially loaded a gun and pointed it at the American economy and set a trigger. And it said that if we don't come up with a deal on the deficit by the end of this year, the trigger's going to go off. And it's now five months away. There's no sign that they're doing anything to find an alternative plan to the trigger. My guess is they'll take the bullets out of the gun. But we'll have to see. There are number of people, most of them Democrats, who are now saying, unless the Democrats and the president say they're willing to trigger these tax cuts and spending – tax increasing and spending cuts at the end of the year, that the Republicans won't really be forced to negotiate it.
MS. WALTER: So that seems like the president – if the Fed can't do much and Congress can't do much, what can the president do between now and the election to make people feel any better about the economy?
MS. IFILL: We keep hearing the Romney folks say and it's their mantra that the president's not doing anything, that he doesn't have a plan. He's the president after all.
MR. WESSEL: Right. And the president says, well, here's my five-point plan and those evil Republicans in Congress wouldn't sign off on it. The fact is there's nothing Obama can do now that's going to make the economy better. And every day that the conversation is about something than the economy is a day that's good for Barack Obama. So I expect Mitt Romney, if they have any sense on the campaign, will try to steer the campaign back to the fact that the economy is lousy because at some point, people don't care why it's lousy. They just want it to be fixed. And if they want a change, it's going to be really hard for the president to campaign on the platform –
MS. IFILL: One more quick question and we'll talk about it some more in the webcast. In your book, you talk about this lack of political consensus around the debt and around the deficit. Is that likely to change?
MR. WESSEL: I don't think so. And I think it reflects something that Amy said. You know, in the book, I quote Doug Elmendorf, the head of the Congressional Budget Office, which is one of the few institutions in Washington that actually works as it was designed. And he sums it up this way. The problem with the deficit is that the American people want more benefits, primarily for the elderly, than they're willing to send to Washington in taxes. And that's going to be true after election as well.
MS. IFILL: Thank you, David.
MR. WESSEL: You're welcome.
MS. IFILL: Members of Congress didn't run in place. They ran out of Washington, leaving behind an election year tangle of loose ends, ranging from drought relief to cyber security to a postal service on the brink of collapse. Bipartisan agreement exists somewhere within all of these issues, but not enough to enact legislation. For example, more than one fifth of the nation is in extreme or exceptional drought. But Congress still failed to agree on emergency aid for farmers. How does that happen, Sue?
MS. DAVIS: The Job Bill is probably one of the best examples of how even simple issues can get tied up in election year politics. America's farmers, I mean, it seems like one of those issues that it would be extremely easy for Congress to find a resolution. Part of the problem – and it goes back to these budget issues that David's talking about and the division in Congress – is the two parties fundamentally disagree about how we solve almost every problem facing this country, whether it's how we deliver our mail, how we build our roads, or how we help America's farmers. The politics that are going on here is the House passed a bill, a multimillion dollars – hundreds millions of dollars to assist farmer, mostly cattle is what's being affected a lot by the drought. And Democrats and Republicans, as well, in the Senate, they passed a farm bill. They passed a five-year Farm Bill, something that they say will bring down the deficit over the long-term, even if it's going to spend a lot of money out front. And House Republicans, they don't want to spend the money on anything. There's a political view right now that the best thing Republicans can do on the Hill is keep their heads down and let Mitt Romney and Barack Obama be the focus of American political talk.
MS. IFILL: Even with that kind of frozen in place action, we didn't expect a lot to happen in election year, but I was surprised at the extent of the things they did not do, especially something like drought release.
MS. DAVIS: Well, there's also been this expectation in this Congress that everything's going to happen after the election. It's been – it's everyone's punting or punting on every issue and there's this idea that this lame duck session is going to be the – after the election, between the next Congress, there's going to be this furious work period –
MS. IFILL: Is that going to happen? Has anyone ever seen that happen?
MS. DAVIS: Well, in the – I would say in the last lame duck is when they extended the Bush tax cuts. So there tends to be this – there's this trend right now in Congress and politics that they don't – Congress can't act unless there's brinksmanship, unless there's a real threat, whether it'd be defaulting, whether it'd be shutdown, that we need some real consequence to force their hand. And Chairman Lucas, who is the Farm Bill chairman, he said, go home, go home to your districts this month and talk to your constituents and build the momentum, so when these guys come back in September, they feel that they have to act. And they don't feel right now.
MS. TUMULTY: But where is the political incentive to get anything done because you go out on the campaign trail and everybody is just promising they're going to stand by their principles and never waiver. I mean – where the reward?
MS. DAVIS: There's two things I think that's interesting. One is that the Senate often gets blame for where legislation can move. And in these cases, the Farm Bill and postal reform, they passed with large bipartisan majorities in the Senate. Right now, it's really the House, which is unusual, because the House tends to be the place that the majority can work its will. Republicans are divided, even within themselves, particularly on fiscal issues. And John Boehner, the speaker of the House, doesn't want to have his party on display, fighting about spending, and becoming a distraction to Mitt Romney. I think Republicans think that Mitt Romney has a very good chance of defeating Barack Obama in November and they don't want to do anything to screw it up. So their resolution is do nothing at all.
MR. WESSEL: Do they worry at all about the fact that the polls show that they're even less popular than the press?
MS. DAVIS: I think they do on a broad extent, but to the extent that it's going to affect the elections in November, they're so low that I'm not sure they can go any lower. So by not doing a drought bill or a postal reform, it's not going to affect them any more than it already has. And also, just by the political outlook, election forecasters – Republicans are confident they're not going to lose the majority. Election forecasters, right now, put them at maybe a 10-seat loss on the high end and they're willing to take that.
MS. WALTER: And what did happen, too, in the olden days you would say, grassroots lobbying, call your Congress person, make sure that they're doing what we told them to do. Are they not – are they hearing it and ignoring it, or they're just saying, you know, I'm not hearing it at all?
MS. DAVIS: I think they're hearing it. I definitely think they're hearing it, but there's – I mean – Farm Bill is a good example. You have a lot of congressmen who come from farm states who are very openly talking about how they want to move this bill. Frank Lucas, who's the chairman of the committee, is a Republican and he's very openly saying I want to move this bill.
MS. IFILL: Is the problem then they – there is no immediate impact in people's lives? They put in a stop gap, for instance, or the postal service is going to default, but your mail isn't going to stop coming.
MS. DAVIS: Your mail is not going to stop coming in August. Farmers are – they can do this retroactively when they come back in September. There's this idea of we can deal with it later. We can deal with it later. And if there's no immediate threat, I feel like Congress just doesn't want to do anything right now. There's just a gridlock that seems – that's just frozen in place, much like everything else.
MS. WALTER: Can anything change that? I mean, is this a Congress that can deal with a real serious crisis, like if something happened tomorrow –
MS. DAVIS: That's a great question. Kevin McCarthy is the number three Republican in the House, said something really interesting this week at a breakfast with Reporters, where he said, he fundamentally thought Congress could not do big pieces of legislation anymore, that they get so tied down, that the way to address big problems is by smaller piecemeal legislation.
MS. IFILL: Well, and yet –
MR. WESSEL: But then they'll get bigger. (Laughter.)
MS. IFILL: And yet, people still want to come to Congress, shockingly. (Laughter.) They want to come and increasingly there are new faces who want Washington to do less, actually, not more.
The latest is Texas Republican Senate Nominee Ted Cruz, who, with tea party support, came from behind to win and defeat Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst this week.
MR. CRUZ: Tonight is a victory for the grassroots. (Applause.) It is a testament to Republican women, to tea party leaders, and to grassroots conservatives.
MS. IFILL: So what this the return of the tea party, Karen, or was it never gone?
MS. TUMULTY: Well, it was certainly a big victory for the tea party because, you know, Ted Cruz was their candidate and his victory was extraordinary. He defeated – he defeated David Dewhurst, who has been the lieutenant governor of Texas for almost a decade, who outspent Ted Cruz by about two to one, who put $11 million of his own money into the race.
MS. IFILL: Who was endorsed by Governor Rick Perry.
MS. TUMULTY: Well, and that's part of the issue, but this – there was a lot going on in this race. There was the tea party support. But there was also a lot of this kind of outside money that we have seen coming since the Citizens United decision, specifically an organization, an anti-tax organization called Club for Growth, which is not an anti-establishment organization, put in $5.5 million, which really helped to level the playing field a little bit.
Ted Cruz also benefited from the fact that this election date was delayed not once but twice, thanks to court action over redistricting. And finally, I think what a lot of people in the state understand, but people outside didn't, that there is something of a family feud in Texas between what could sort of loosely be described as the old Bush organization and the organization of Rick Perry. And this was really the revenge of the Bushites.
Ted Cruz was – had been part of the Bush administration. He'd never run for office before he'd been Texas solicitor general, but he did have a lot of support from people who were aligned with the Bush operation, as opposed, which is – there's a lot of tension between them and Rick Perry, the governor's operation, which is what David Dewhurst was part of.
MS. WALTER: So how does Ted Cruz, a guy who was the attorney general, get to be the outsider and the grassroots candidate? How does that – and what is – what does that say about what is the tea party?
MS. IFILL: You know, that's a good question because in Indiana was the state treasurer who rose up. There are all these folks, many of the folks –
MS. TUMULTY: But the solicitor general in Texas is not an elected job. I mean, this guy could never run a race before. You know, but the tea party is really sort of interesting, because it's not really a party and in many ways, it's not even an organization. I sort of compare it to a weather system. I mean, if the – (laughter) – if all the barometric indicators are just right, it can cause a real storm. And that's certainly what happened here. But it's also had some defeats this year. For instance, in Nebraska, where Deb Fischer is the Republican nominee state senator, she was the only candidate in that race who did not have any tea party support and she beat two tea party candidates.
MS. IFILL: Even though she was endorsed by Sarah Palin, so everybody thought she had tea party support.
MS. TUMULTY: Right. And you keep reading in the coverage, tea party candidate. No, she was not.
MR. WESSEL: It looks like the tea party will have a bigger contingent in the Senate, come November. Is that going to make the Senate folks any better?
MS. TUMULTY: You know, I think the important thing here is – and also, for instance, Richard Murdoch in Indiana knocked off Dick Lugar, a long-time senator. They are coming saying we are coming to stand by our principles and not to compromise. And I also think that these are going to be people – and also, whoever else is left in the Senate it's going to be looking over their shoulders at these outside groups, like you don't want to get on the wrong side of Club for Growth. You don't want to get on the wrong side of the tea party. And I think that is going to matter. They're not going to be listening as much to Mitch McConnell as they are worrying about somebody building a movement at home that would knock them off.
MS. DAVIS: Do you think that the Ted Cruz victory is going to fuel sort of tea party momentum, going into Missouri and Wisconsin, which are two states that have Republican primaries still to come?
MS. TUMULTY: You know, that is going to be very interesting to watch. There's a tea party-backed candidate in Missouri, next Tuesday, Sarah Steelman, that's backed by Sarah Palin. The tea party endorsement today went – in Wisconsin, went to a congressman who's been running third in that race.
MS. IFILL: And you were just in Wisconsin. And you think Tommy Thompson, who is the equivalent of David Dewhurst, a well-known person, may not survive?
MS. TUMULTY: A four-term governor, who, a month ago, had a double digit lead, is now in a three-way dogfight with a former congressman and a hedge fund guy who hadn't lived in the state for 24 years.
MS. IFILL: He told Karen, everybody calls me Tommy, but nobody wants to vote for Tommy. That's the problem. (Laughter.)
Thank you, everybody here. There's so much more we couldn't get to, but as usual, we'll pick up where we left off, in the "Washington Week" Webcast Extra. You'll be able to find us online still talking, possibly about the Olympics, but also – also about Harry Reid, at PBS.org/washingtonweek. Keep up with daily developments over at the PBS "NewsHour." And we'll see you again, right here, next week, on "Washington Week." Good night.

2013: 10 original Hollywood movies to see
Zero Dark Thirty
Director Kathryn Bigelow's follow-up to The Hurt Locker chronicles the hunt for and assassination of Osama Bin Laden. Jessica Chastain (The Help) plays Maya, a laser-focused CIA officer, apparently based on a real person, tasked with finding the mastermind behind 9/11. Hurt Locker writer Mark Boal's screenplay allegedly stays as faithful to the actual events of the hunt as possible without revealing the identities of the actual participants. The years-long investigation takes up the bulk of the film, with the final 40 minutes dedicated to the actual raid, including the harrowing, night-vision sequence where Bin Laden's compound is raided and the man himself finally found.

"The farm, to me a playland, was to those who lived on it an onerous dead-end. Everything I observed as a marvel, was a back breaking chore to those who had to perform it everyday"
Peter Conrad 'Down Home, Revisiting Tasmania'
'I hope you choke' is a photographic documentary of Tasmanian roadside produce stands and farm gate landscapes. It is a collection of photographs loaded with contradictions. A romanticised social commentary of a dying concept, despite the growing popularity and need for self sustainable living.
These images are faithful and Australian. Even more so these scenes are unique to Tasmania. An offshore island of an offshore continent, regularly omitted from maps of Australia – a lonely and savagely beautiful place, severed from the main land by a rising sea level over 10,000 years ago. Such isolation produces an ache of self doubt, a suspicion of solipsism which has the tendency to evoke an air of unease and underlying tension.
However, with current threats to the Murray Darling Basin, Tasmania has the potential to become Australia's next food bowl. This threatened agricultural industry could be on the brink of a new dawn. There is an equal chance of these farmers being saved as there is of them being forgotten. Despite either outcome the question remains – will these photographs one day evoke a sense of mourning for our own selfish sentimentality, or for the lives and communities they consumed.
Exhibited at C3 Gallery, Abbotsford 2010 alongside Melbourne artist Karl Scullin.
Hand printed Silver Gelatin prints.

About Us
RAD-AID International is a nonprofit organization founded by a team of radiologists trained at Johns Hopkins. RAD-AID is a global network assisting developing countries to implement and optimize radiology and health imaging services while improving the role of radiology in global public health initiatives. RAD-AID is a network for improving the provision of radiology and health care services in the developing world through a sustained longitudinal legacy of dialog, education, resources, and collaboration. For more information on these general areas of activity, please read below. For more specific information on projects at RAD-AID, please visit PROJECTS.
1. Clinical Education in Radiology
RAD-AID International runs training programs so that individuals in developing countries can learn how to perform and interpret medical imaging to make patient care decisions. To make sure that these efforts are optimized for areas with limited resources, we advocate forRadiology Readiness.
2. Business Administration and Support
RAD-AID International provides training so that individuals in poor countries can start their own health clinics and grow programs to better serve the health needs of their community. This training may also include provision of access to loans or grants so that individuals can start and sustain health clinics or health projects in these poor areas. The aim of this work is to make these health projects sustainable over the long term.
3. Public Health
RAD-AID International provides education on public health issues such as maternal infant mortality, breast cancer screening, and tuberculosis control, all of which have important roles for radiology such as ultrasound, mammography, and radiography. These public health issues have been identified by the World Health Organization as international priorities in which health personnel need to be educated on ways to better screen for breast cancer, treat tuberculosis, and prevent maternal-infant mortality at child birth.
4. Education on use and implementation of health care technologies
RAD-AID International provides training on the use and implementation of technologies used for interpreting and performing radiology studies. Educational programs are implemented world-wide including the RAD-AID Conference at Johns Hopkins, on-site training, and the development of online learning tools to support radiology and clinical personnel in limited resource regions.
5. International policy education
RAD-AID International provides free educational resources on countries' health care systems to build awareness of how global poverty is affecting the access to health care and imaging.

"Bucket of suck"
The cigar was so bitter I toss'd it a quarter down. I lit up Los Blancos to test my palet and found the old palet was working fine.Earl in New England October 24, 2008
"Wasn't Impressed ..."
Not a good taste ...M.J.M. in Philadelphia October 18, 2008
"ok for a $3 stick"
came in a free sampler. I wouldn't buy a box at normal pricerick in mesa September 29, 2008
I've been an Oliva smoker for some time and Georges Reserve was a big disappointment.GS in San diego September 4, 2008
"not a premium cigar..."
I was very let down on this cigar for one reason...taste, i was bored with this cigar. Nothing stood out, and have even had better experiances with cheap bundle cigars. To each's own I suppose. This cigar is def. not for me.peter in wayland, MI March 21, 2008
"Georges Reserve Robusto doesn't disappoint!"
I was very pleasantly surprised with this cigar. It's well constructed and remains strong throughout the entire smoking process. The appearance of the cigar is superb. For the price of this cigar its a must have!Keith Friedman in Tokyo Japan April 1, 2007
"Please change the marketing of this cigar..."
Dear Mr. Zaretsky, Thank you for pricing George's Reserve to in a manner to encourage me to try. The robusto is quite tasty, well constructed (thank you Oliva), and one of the nicest early-day cigars I've run across, but the band is completely worthless and cheesy. I took all the sticks out of the cello, put them back in the box and aged them a month, and they already are improving nicely. Supreme with coffee.FishNWCigar in Pacific NW March 21, 2007


text: Is it a wish list, or are some of the nation's top retailers eyeing the Saxony project in Hamilton County? Some big names, including Lacoste, North Face and Polo, appear on a map shared with retailers and brokers at a shopping center convention in Chicago Thursday. Other names include Aldo, Jared, JCrew, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo, Coach, Forever 21 and bebe. Restaurant spaces show a McCormick and Schmick's and California Pizza Kitchen. Locally based Situs Realty Corp. is leasing the new center, which would sit on the Fishers side of the 725-acre Saxony development. The developer is Republic Development. Situs President Keith Stark called the names "tentative" since the company is in the "very early stages of leasing." He said the 800,000-square-foot shopping center would open in 2009.

And by Lana Del Rey I mean Lizzy Grant… whatever, "Video Games" is an epic song and I hope even the haters can admit that. However, I could really do without all the cover versions. Keep an eye peeled for what is sure to be a smashing debut on Interscope in 2012. The footage above is of a song entitled "Born To Die" which is set to be her next single. Below is one called "Off to the Races" that she debuted last week in Manchester UK. Lucky Europeans!

November 19, 2012 - For Immediate Release
You know those "over-the-top" Christmas displays you see in most every town…the ones where the lights are synchronized to music and every square inch of lawn is covered in plastic figures, blow-up snowmen, and Santa Claus is up on the roof? Well, look carefully the next time you drive by, because you just might see Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Judy Pancoast warbling away in the midst of all that festive decoration.
It all started in 2006, when Pancoast's husband found a video online of such a house, and it was playing Pancoast's song, "The House on Christmas Street," which she had originally recorded in 1998. Since then, the phenomenon has grown as more and more decorating enthusiasts have discovered the song and made it part of their displays. Search "The House on Christmas Street" on YouTube and you'll find page after page of videos of houses all over the world playing Pancoast's ditty.
In 2010 Pancoast decided to thank the decorators who had made her song a "cult" hit, and she offered to perform in concert on the lawn or in the driveway of any decorator in the US during the holiday season. All the host would have to do is provide a hotel/motel room, collect for a charity at the event, and coordinate publicity. The first "The House on Christmas Street International Tour" was a rousing success, as Pancoast was even flown to England, all expenses paid by the decorator across the pond who invited her to perform at his display. It was during her stay in the UK that she learned she had been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Children's Album for her CD "Weird Things are Everywhere."
Last year was Pancoast's youngest daughter's final Christmas season at home before heading to college, so she limited the tour to another jaunt to England and a short trip to North and South Carolina. But this year she's revving up again for a tour that will literally take her from one coast to the other and to many states in-between, as well as a spur up to Toronto that makes it yet another international tour. From November 24th to Christmas Eve she will perform at the homes of 22 decorators and also present concerts at a few schools and a library along the way. On December 7th she will be a featured entertainer at XTRA 99.1 radio's "2nd Most Funnest Christmas Concert Ever" in Gloucester, Virginia. In all, Pancoast will present 29 concerts on what has been called "The most unique concert tour ever undertaken by a musician." Twenty-three individual charities, ranging from local food pantries to Make-A-Wish and Special Olympics will benefit from the tour, and Pancoast herself receives no fee for the home owners other than the lodging they provide.
"It is a most wonderful experience to go from town to town and meet the amazing people who go to all this trouble to create smiles and laughter for people they may never meet. The decorators are the nicest people in the world, and I'm very lucky that all of this has happened because of that little song I wrote so many years ago," says Pancoast.
For a detailed tour itinerary and to keep up with the latest news on Pancoast's tour blog, please visit her website at www.judypancoast.com.
EDITOR: Judy Pancoast is available for interviews at 603-716-3646. She has over 25 years of professional radio and TV broadcasting experience and makes a great guest!
