Here's how much extra pay salaried workers are due for their extra day of work on Leap Day this year.
This post comes from Danielle Kurtzleben at partner site U.S. News & World Report.
Leap year brings an extra day to get things done, try something new and work for free.
While hourly workers are given an extra day for earnings this year, salaried workers will get the same pay as a regular, 365-day year.
So how much money are salaried American workers missing out on when they put in that extra shift?
There are 261 weekdays in 2012 with the inclusion of leap day. (There are also holidays, but many companies consider those "paid" holidays, and some workers have to work those days, anyway.) So, for example, dividing a reporter's average yearly salary of $43,780 by 260 (leap day minus one) reveals that an extra day of that reporter's work is worth 168 extra dollars. That reporter's editor, meanwhile, is missing out on 228 extra dollars this year, given an average salary of $59,340.
In contrast, bigwigs like New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Whole Foods CEO John Mackey are owed an extra 0.4 cents since they accept annual salaries of only $1. (Post continues below.)
Below is a list of workers and, if salaried on an annual basis, how much they are missing out on due to Leap Day:
- Secretaries and administrative assistants (excluding legal, medical and executive): $123
- Reporter: $168
- Clergy: $186
- High school teacher (except special and career/technical education): $215
- Editor: $228
- Registered nurse: $260
- Network and computer systems administrator: $278
- Airline pilot: $443
- Doctor (general practitioner): $669
- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: $82.
- Speaker of the House John Boehner: $860
- Surgeon: $867
- President Barack Obama: $1,538
- Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs: $7,692 (reflects 2011 $2 million base salary only, not total $9 million disclosed 2011 pay package).

Seeing as how most salaried employees make pretty good money, and get tons of paid holidays, sick leave, maternity leave, all paid... that's something most hourly employees do NOT have. IOW, I have no sympathy here. PLUS!!! it's a short month anyway, and they're getting paid the same as if it had 31 days. This article = failure
Giovan...I work for a manufacturing company here in the US. YESS..there is still manufacturing done here. Not assembly line robot style work. But real hand made products that we sell to the public.
Few people take pride or are willing to pay the price for American made products. Look at your TV, your DVD, and maybe even your car. That's why this country is such a mess now.
The jobs that are listed all require certain trade skills and experience, and all of them are jobs that need the immense parallel and spatial processing of the human brain in case "the plan" goes awry and emergency training has to kick in.
Airplanes? Yeah, let's keep pilots for emergencies, good idea.
Hospitals? I think Nurses and Doctors are probably a good thing to keep there in case some medication doesn't work properly or there is an unknown diagnosis that needs to be treated.
Computer related controller? Well, you can automate it, but you can't guarantee it won't screw up so you have to keep someone around to fix the things that weren't properly programmed or automated.
Teachers? Yeah, being able to shift from topic to topic is something that requires humans, and judgment calls are made all the time regarding discipline, helping weak students, challenging advanced students, etc...
Clergy? They have to do their standard preaching, helping, hypocrisy. Robots are very bad at that kind of stuff.
Government officials? Someone has to make laws, judge them, execute them, enforce them, take money under the table from special interests, and have a coke party with hookers.

The folks at Bovada and Prediction Machine have been kind off to send over their schedule simulations for the six remaining unbeaten teams in college football.
Next up, the third-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes.
Current Power Rank: 5
Current Strength-of-Schedule Rank: 80
Undefeated Chances: 48.4%
Closest Remaining Game: B1G Championship Game
Teams that would be favored over Ohio State on a neutral field: Oregon, Alabama, Florida State, Texas A&M, Baylor
Estimated Chances of Going 13-0 and Playing in BCS Title Game: 21.9% (if Ohio State wins out and two of Alabama, Florida State and Baylor lose, OSU should be in) … If Ohio State just needs Alabama or Florida State to lose to get in, it has a 29.2% chance
A few notes on the undefeated odds above:
- Chances there are still six undefeated FBS teams on December 8 (after conference title games): 1.2% (or 1-in-82)
- Chances Alabama, Florida State, Baylor and Ohio State are undefeated on December 8: 7.6% (or 1-in-13)
- Chances that Alabama, Baylor, Ohio State and Florida State all have at least one loss on December 8: 3.9% (or 1-in-26)
- Chances that there are no undefeated teams in FBS on December 8: 1.0% (or 1-in-100)
- Estimated chances of a one-loss team in the BCS Championship Game: 24.7%
BCS Championship Games
Using the same simulation technology, we can simulate potential BCS National Championship games to project the likelihood of either team winning each possible game, including an average score outcome. Here are all possible games involving the four BCS-AQ undefeated teams (also, though Stanford is currently in the top four of the BCS Standings, all of these teams would be favored in our numbers over the Cardinal on a neutral field – though Ohio State would be just less than a one point favorite in the projection). Games listed in order of current likelihood (figures assume this scenario when both teams undefeated).
Ohio State vs. Florida State
Chances of this BCS Championship Game: 7.0%
Simulated Result: Florida State wins 69% of the time
Projected Score: Florida State 33 – Ohio State 25
Alabama vs. Ohio State
Chances of this BCS Championship Game: 6.8%
Simulated Result: Alabama wins 73% of the time
Projected Score: Alabama 34 - Ohio State 25
Baylor vs. Ohio State
Chances of this BCS Championship Game: 2.1%
Simulated Result: Baylor wins 59% of the time
Projected Score: Baylor 39 – Ohio State 35
Here's how the Buckeyes end the season:
November 16 at Illinois, 12:00 pm EST, ESPN
November 23 vs. Indiana, TBD
November 30 at Michigan, TBD
A week later, they'll likely play either Nebraska or Michigan State in the Big 10 Championship game.

Oando Energy Resources Extends Repayment Date for Oando Loan
CALGARY, Alberta, September 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Oando Energy Resources Inc. ("OER" or the "Company") (TSX:OER), a company focused on oil exploration and production in Nigeria, today announced that it has agreed to extend the repayment date under the loan made by Oando Plc ("Oando"), to December 31, 2013. Oando is a 94.6% shareholder of OER. As previously announced, pursuant to the loan agreement, Oando provided a facility (the "Facility") to the Company of up to US$386,000,000, bearing an annual interest rate of 5%. Of the Facility, US$362,000,000 plus accrued interest was required to be repaid by September 30, 2013, while the remainder of the Facility was required to be repaid on or before December 31, 2013. Pursuant to the amendment agreements, the repayment date of the entire Facility, and an associated repayment deed giving the Company the right to repay the Facility by the issuance of securities under certain conditions, has been extended to December 31, 2013.
The Corporate Governance Committee of OER, comprising independent directors unrelated to Oando, unanimously recommended approval of the amendment agreements to the loan agreement and repayment deed to the board of OER, which then approved it (with directors affiliated with Oando abstaining from the vote). The extension to the repayment date was approved in line with the revised outside date of November 30, 2013 for the completion of the proposed acquisition of ConocoPhillips' Nigerian upstream oil and gas business, as announced on September 16, 2013.

--Rutger Hauer, in Blade Runner
A girl in heroin shades and a bemused stupor is being physically lifted into the camera as a giant hand with a death's-head ring rakes aside the crotch of her tiger-striped bikini bottoms.
"All these people can joke about GM Video," says a much younger voice, "but we're here. Fucking Lake Havasu, GM Video, fucking Garvey . . . Kid Vegas . . . Johnny Toxic . . . George Martin."
The girl leans back into the well of a speedboat, her red Mardi Gras beads pooling on her chest. She alternately fellates the man to her left and then the man curved over the top of her -- bald pate, goatee, bathed in tattoos -- who probes her with a studded tongue. It's hard to tell how much the girl is into all of this, though she does manage to smile for the camera -- or at least to revel momentarily in its attention.
"Leave a spot for us," says the first voice in an offstage whisper, as the camera jockeys for a better angle. Various lookouts can be glimpsed through the tangle of bodies. "Colorado River," says the man to her left as he ejaculates into her hair. The bald tattooed man whispers something in her ear, then disengages and masturbates onto her stomach.
"Load warriors! Another cum-soaked holiday weekend, brought to you by GM Video."
THIS SCENE APPEARS IN SOMETHING CALLED GIRLS GONE WILD/TOTALLY Exposed: Uncensored and Beyond, Vol. I. What separates it from your garden-variety porno is that it occurs roughly in real time, in a real place -- Lake Havasu's Copper Canyon, on the California-Arizona border -- and, at least by implication, involves a hapless stray from a recent Labor Day Weekend celebration. Over the course of 20 years, the long weekend has evolved from a family boating holiday into a flotilla-based bacchanal and open-air orgy, where women from all walks of life, for reasons known only to themselves, come to engage in public sex, spontaneous nudity and competitive abandon. If they are aided in this process by copious amounts of alcohol, the blistering high-desert sun, the magnetic gaze of the camera lens and the forced party-girl camaraderie, then so much the better. And, perhaps not incidentally, they have reconfigured the pornography business in the process.
Girls Gone Wild was launched four years ago as a series of specialty adult videos -- part war footage, part nature documentary -- filmed in public and without permission at Mardi Gras in New Orleans, spring break in south Florida, and Lake Havasu over Memorial and Labor Day weekends. Originally sold by mail order through cheesy late-night TV ads with signature Caribbean steel-drum music and good-natured frat-house complicity, it began as a spontaneous compilation of young women flashing their breasts for the camera and, as brand awareness spread, quickly became a record of something more akin to soccer riots or sexual anarchy. The commercials also include a prominent Web-site address, where alongside "College Girls Exposed" and "Sexy Sorority Sweethearts," special "Deluxe" editions feature explicit hardcore inserts and interior sex scenes -- cleverly establishing an alt-porn beachhead on network TV, much like those K-TEL collections of Slim Whitman or Boxcar Willie that once challenged the music industry's chokehold on commercial product. Kristen works the pole
The series is the brainchild of 27-year-old Joe Francis, the reality guru behind Banned From Television, a three-volume "true gore" clips collection of public executions and people being hit by trains, for which he was ä successfully sued for $3.5 million for stealing the concept from the man who had pitched it to him. (Francis terms the lawsuit "frivolous," and claims he settled for "pennies.")But even more than that earlier experiment in reality TV, Girls Gone Wild has become a marketing juggernaut. According to an inside source, the series provides an estimated 100-to-1 return on its meager investment and frequently shows up in the list of Billboard Top 30 retail sellers. Yet much of that footage comes in over the transom, purchased from private vendors. And one vendor in particular supplies virtually all of the Lake Havasu footage -- GM Video.
GM Video is the province of George Martin, a 58-year-old entrepreneur, family man and former nuclear Research and Development man, who, in the middle of a career slump shooting wedding videos, stumbled onto the party scene at Arizona's Lake Martinez and inadvertently pioneered the amateur porn market. He launched GM in 1981, a year before Homegrown Video, the acknowledged market leader. GM currently offers over 200 specialty titles. A few years ago, George discovered that Francis' Girls Gone Wild team would gladly recycle his footage, often with his spirited GM Video tags intact -- Load Warriors! As a result, his sales skyrocketed. He now moves approximately 8,000 tapes per month, most of it through retail distributors (as opposed to mail order), and is currently building a warehouse on his 10-acre property in Fallbrook, near San Diego, to handle the ramp-up in business. His wife minds the store while he's away on shoots, his younger sister designs the box covers, and his only daughter, 32, oversees shipping and packaging when she's not raising his three grandkids. He tries to produce six titles a month, but claims his distributors could easily handle two and a half times that.

Including social media in your campaign is becoming less and less of an option and more and more of a necessity. What we all need to remember is that since social media enables two-way communication and immediate response from your community, you need to make sure that you have an engagement plan ready to go. Social campaigns cannot just be planned to be one sided. You'll need to take the time to think about the possible reactions your community can have to your campaign and be ready to response to each situation. This can mean building out a playbook for response for every different campaign. Take a look at a campaign we run multiple times a day, the pushing of our content.
This looks at an easily repeatable action of out-posting blog content, but can be used on a much larger scale. The important thing it shows is the strategic thinking behind every possible response. By taking the time to build out such a model, you'll be able to have the right resources ready to make sure that the engagement around your campaign stays active and that you are able to pull back all that positive and negative feedback to make meaningful action items for your next campaign.
Let's look at the graphic again but this time, let's walk through it step by step asking ourselves the types of questions for successful engagement.
Brand Step 1 – Outpost
Where will you be positing? Who will handle the out posting? What type of message are you trying to convey?
Community Step 1 – First Response
Will you monitor for general shares? Will you monitor for feedback and for people who are extremely positive? Will you monitor for negative concerns?
Brand Step 2 – 1st Engagement
Will you respond from a corporate channel or personal voice? Will you say thank you to all those who share? Will you respond to negative feedback?
C0mmunity Step 2 – Follow Up Response
Do you want to track their feedback? Do you want encourage large discussions? How will you share this information internally?
Brand Step 3 – 2nd Engagement
When will you take conversations to a more private space? When will you choose to end the conversations? Do you want to have long discussions? When will you not respond?
No matter how long your engagement goes as far as steps are concerned, it's important to be prepared at any stage to answer any questions, receive any feedback (good or bad) and to move all this information through to your campaign reporting. By being prepared you'll make the most of what social media campaigns can offer you in community engagement.
How do you prepare for the community feedback to one of your campaigns? Would you be prepared if the feedback was negative? Do you have a list of resources for follow up questions? How are you tracking this engagement?
If you are looking to learn more about how social media campaigns can help with two way communication with your Community, check out Chapter 1 of this month's eBook. If you're a Radian6 user and looking for a way to track this engagement, gain an understanding of Workflow functionality in this post.

162d Fighter Wing

|United States
|Air National Guard
|Part of
|Arizona Air National Guard
|Tucson Air National Guard Base, Tucson, Arizona.
|Tail Code
|Arizona state flag tail stripe "AZ"
|162d Fighter Wing emblem
The 162d Fighter Wing (162 FW) is a unit of the Arizona Air National Guard, stationed at Tucson Air National Guard Base, Arizona. If activated to federal service, the Wing is gained by the United States Air Force Air Education and Training Command.
The primary mission of the 162d Fighter Wing is education and flight training of International F-16 Fighting Falcon aircrews. In addition, the wing performs air defense and homeland protection of the United States.
The 162d Fighter Wing consists of the following units:
- 162d Operations Group
- 148th Fighter Squadron (F-16A/B Block 20 MLU)
- 152d Fighter Squadron (F-16C/D Block 42)
- 195th Fighter Squadron (F-16C/D Block 25)
- 162d Training Squadron
- 162d Maintenance Group
- 162d Mission Support Group
- 162d Medical Group
- 214th Reconnaissance Group (MQ-1B) (GSU At Davis-Monthan AFB)
- Air National Guard Air Force Reserve Command Test Center (F-16C/D Block 25/32)
On 1 July 1969, the Arizona Air National Guard 152d Tactical Fighter Training Squadron was authorized to expand to a group level, and the 162d Tactical Fighter Training Group was established by the National Guard Bureau. The 152d TFTS becoming the group's flying squadron. Other squadrons assigned into the group were the 162d Headquarters, 162d Material Squadron (Maintenance), 162d Combat Support Squadron, and the 162d USAF Dispensary.
As part of Tactical Air Command, the 162d TFTG's mission was producing combat-ready pilots for the F-100 aircraft. The 152d TFTS equipped with the F-100C Super Sabre, and the group graduated their first students in 1970. Shortly afterward, the unit formed the Air National Guard Fighter Weapons School (FWS) in Tucson. This school taught Air Guard and Reserve fighter pilots from throughout the country to effectively use advanced tactics and weapons technology.
In 1977, the group received A-7D Corsair II ground support aircraft and replaced the F-100s. In the early 1980s the Group also received the A-7K, a two-seat combat-capable training aircraft derived from the single-seat A-7D. This was the first time an aircraft manufacturer produced a new aircraft specifically designed for Air National Guard use.
The unit received its second Air Force Outstanding Unit Citation for successfully continuing to train F-100 students while completing the most challenging conversion in the unit's history. That tasking was to convert from F-100s to A-7Ds. In the early 1980s the Group also received the A-7K, a two-seat combat-capable training aircraft. This was the first time an aircraft manufacturer produced a new aircraft specifically designed for Air National Guard use.
In February 1984, a second squadron, the 195th Tactical Fighter Squadron was assigned to the Group and additional A-7Ds were assigned. A third A-7D squadron, the 148th Fighter Squadron was assigned in October 1985. These three squadrons shared a common tail code (AZ), and the Group's aircraft were formed in a common pool from which all three squadrons used for training.
During the 1980s the unit received its fourth Outstanding Unit Citation and the Spaatz Trophy. The Spaatz trophy recognized the 162nd Fighter Wing as the outstanding Air National Guard unit in the United States.
In 1985, the unit began a unique dual training mission using a mixture of F-16 Fighting Falcon and its A-7 aircraft. With the A-7s being retired from the inventory, conversion from the A-7D/K started in 1986 when the group started to receive older F-16A aircraft from other USAF units.
The mission of the unit was to train combat-ready pilots for the Air National Guard (Replacement Training Unit or RTU), but the older F-16A Block 5 airframes were not quite suited to fulfill this mission. Therefore a number of more modern F-16A block 15 airframes were introduced in the squadron after 1989 to be able to maintain a more modern training syllabus. The last of the A-7Ds were retired in 1992.
In 1987, the Group was awarded the "Sistema de Cooperacion Entre Las Fuerzas Aereas Americanas (SICOFAA)," the Safety Award of the Americas. In 1989 the Netherlands and the United States formally agreed to use the 162d Fighter Group's first-rate facilities and people to train Dutch fighter pilots in the F-16 aircraft. In 1990 the unit received its fifth Air Force Outstanding Unit Citation. Midsummer 1991 saw the retirement of all its A-7D aircraft. Now the unit flies the F-16A/B/C/D and the newer F-16E/F "Fighting Falcon" aircraft plus a single C-26A "Metroliner" light transport aircraft.
International training unit[edit]
In 1992 the status of the 162d was upgraded from Group to Wing, and the ANG Staff decided to modernize the training that the squadron was providing to ANG crews as well as regular USAF units or NATO F-16 pilots. Therefore more modern F-16C block 42 airframes were delivered to the group. This opened a lot of opportunities. Beginning in April of that year, the 162d began training fighter pilots for the Republic of Singapore, followed in 1993 by Bahrain, by Portugal in 1994, and by Thailand, Indonesia and Turkey in 1995. The unit was designated a wing in October of 1995 and the international training mission continued to expand, adding Belgium in 1996 followed by Jordan and Norway in the first half of 1997. Denmark began training here in June 1998, and Japan began training in late 1998. Italy sent their first pilot to Tucson in October 2000, Greece began training here in January 2001 and the United Arab Emirates sent their first students here in August 2001. Oman and Poland both began sending students here in 2004. Other nations who have trained or are currently training in Tucson are Israel, Italy, Chile and Taiwan. Additional nations are currently negotiating training programs with the 162d FW.
In addition to the training done at the ANG base in Tucson, the Wing conducts training at individual client nations. Mobile Training Teams have conducted classes in numerous countries around the world, most recently in Turkey, the Netherlands, Thailand and Poland. The Thailand Mobile Training Team conducted the unit's premier international training course, known as the Advanced Weapons Course. This program provides "graduate-level" training to assist allied nations in meeting their need for highly trained F-16 pilots.
On June 9, 1997, the wing embarked on a new mission, training international maintenance technicians on F-16 systems. Jordan sent the first six of nearly 60 technicians to observe and learn 162d Fighter Wing maintenance techniques so they can emulate what they learn here at their home stations. The training they receive here supplements the technical training they received from the aircraft manufacturer. Italy and the United Arab Emirates have also sent their technicians to Tucson for maintenance training.
From October 1998 until August 1999, the unit conducted a program to convert three former Air Defense units to the general-purpose role. This air-to-ground training program taught current F-16 air defense pilots how to employ the F-16 in the ground attack mission. Air defense units from the Vermont, New Jersey, Texas and California Air National Guard transferred eight F-16C/Ds to the 162d FW. These aircraft were used to train nearly 60 pilots from the three air defense units. Maintenance people from these states also provided maintenance support for these aircraft under 162d Maintenance Group supervision.
Global War on Terrorism[edit]
The September 11 terrorist attacks on our nation brought immediate change to the 162d Fighter Wing. Within hours of the first attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the 162d FW placed F-16 aircraft on alert. In the days and weeks that followed, the wing met every requirement of this new air defense mission, dubbed Operation NOBLE EAGLE, with outstanding results. Many members of the wing volunteered to support this new mission and others have stepped up and answered the President's call to "mobilize" in support of this critical mission.
The unit received its sixth Outstanding Unit Award in 2003 for mobilizing more than 300 personnel to support the North American Air Defense Command's Operation NOBLE EAGLE, providing more than 50 personnel to support Central Command's Operation Enduring Freedom, for supporting Joint Forge, Coronet Oak, Coronet Nighthawk and providing personnel to Southern Command and European Command.
Current status[edit]
On June 27, 2004, the 162d Fighter Wing and the United Arab Emirates initiated a unique training program. The UAE F-16 Training Program is a dedicated F-16 squadron, the 148th Fighter Squadron. The squadron will operate in the long-term with 13 F-16E/F (Block 60) aircraft. The first aircraft arrived on Sept. 2, 2004.
Along with the Homeland Defense mission, the 162d FW continues its primary mission of International F-16 Pilot Training adding new countries every year. The 162nd Fighter Wing now features new modern buildings, up-to-date equipment and continually updated technology that keeps pace with its rapidly changing roles and missions.
The ultramodern Air Guard Base at Tucson is very different from the adobe farmhouse and dirt-floor hangar of 50 years ago. What remains unchanged is the outstanding dedication of the men and women working to make the 162d Fighter Wing one of the finest fighter training wings in the world.

Did anyone review the July/August Nutrition advice given by Kathy McManus about sugar substitutes causing migraines? It was totally irresponsible to advise to wait for more evidence! If a person is getting a real migraine from this false sugar it can cause serious long term consequences.

Newt Gingrich might support SOPA, but it's very unpopular now to say so, including Rick Santorum & Mitt Romney.
People can talk the talk but rarely walk the walk and that's Newt Gingrich's life story as many know. Before I get to SOPA let's lay out some basics. People have to try to read between the lines to see how their actions and their close friends voted. They all say what people want to hear, but you have to know them to know what they will do. The point is to make people logically think it through.
The thing about Newt is that he attacks others for the things he does. He knows how to talk which is why he was speaker of the house. He was also fined and kicked out of office for his unethical actions. It's like having a locksmith that got fired for being corrupt to do neighborhood watch.
Newt attacks the news for his past actions as improper but it's he finds it ok when he tells the media about other candidates past actions that have been debunked. Other debates ask the candidates about the controversial and sensitive issues about themselves so its normal. But when CNN asked Newt about what everyone in the audience wanted to hear he attacks the host and CNN for bringing it up. The audience cheered from their knee jerk reaction like the Romans gladiator days since people want an verbal execution now and Newt executed his arguments well. The audience was not credible for acting the way they acted, since they wanted to see a fight, but until they got dragged into the argument they got mad. The audience most likely consisted of mostly Christians but did not like it when Ron Paul quoted the golden rule which Christ said to "do to others what you want others to do you you". Even if Newts statement was true or not, it is the only answer he can give to attack back and say the arguments against him are false without any proof despite his credibility going against what hen says.
Referenced on "Gingrich on Open Marriage Accusations from Ex-Wife Marianne".
Newt acts as if he is a common person to have affairs and divorces but does not truly relate to others how he has a $500,000 account at Tiffany and gets over $40,000 per speech. He is more of an insider and benefited from being an insider more than Mitt Romney has. It is Newt's obvious hypocrisy which defines him as a simple persons with flaws that tries to over come in the image portrayed. Even his wife is portrayed as a "dedicated" Catholic which many that are not Christians will wonder if it's normal for someone dedicated to have an affair with a married man for many years. Newt teamed up with Bush and other republicans to support a democrat against Ron Paul in Texas. An "outsider" of the state supporting an outsider of his party with other insiders. That's the only outsider view or Newt which that was the strangest election. Newt can not qualify in enough ballots to get enough delegates and his motives for running are again questionable. wikipedia.org
Gingrich's 2nd wife as the saying goes should have understood that what goes around comes around, since she was fooling around with Newt when his first wife had cancer. She he should not be one to talk when she did it to someone else and sided with Newt for it. At the same time Newt was attacking Bill Clinton for his affair, despite he acted worse. But in all fairness even if he was silent and supported Clinton would it make him better which many in South Carolina are supporting Newt including Chuck Norris sides with Newt since they relate with him and don't want to be hypocrites since they or someone they know cheated with their spouse. Even in ancient Greek times when a politician cheated on their spouse they were not allowed info politics, since a persons character can not be trusted to help others when they cant help themselves and the one they love.
Some points indicated on: Being a Washington insider has made Newt Gingrich a wealthy man.
To be an insider you have to be like most inside and keep connected. Most big insider senators and congressmen get paid even more money when they leave office due to the power they have and Newt Is no different.
Stated on "SOPA Blackout Angers Fmr Senator Turned Lobbyist Dodd".
Newt is not consistent as Gary Johnson pointed out that "In 1997 Newt Gingrich Proposed The Death Penalty For Possession Of Marijuana". Youtube.com No harm no foul to others get the death penalty but what about SO companies that side SOPA which feel they are hurt? Maybe a worse punishment than death?
Now for SOPA and PIPA, many politicians got paid $10,000, $100,000 & $1,000,000 MILLION to get persuade to pass the bill and done so mostly by the republicans. You can see how much each person gets paid to vote for it and against it here http://sopatrack.com
Show me your friend's and I'll show you who you are, but in this case it is show me their friends and I'll show you how they vote. One of Newt Gingrich's friend and many speculated potential running mate Marco Rubio was a sponsor to SOPA but obviously dropped it due to the backlash he got. Despite that you still know where their heart sides with and if they can be bought out. You scratch my back and I have to scratch your back as politics go. Lets not forget he wanted to censor the internet and wants to arrest judged that rule against his view. Newt wanted wikileaks censored which many say acted like the drudge report which got private info about Bill Clinton's sex scandal that made them famous and other news stories.
The same goes with Mitt Romney with his friends and his endorsement like John McCain which is a Sponsor of SOPA that got paid over $1 million to push for it. Mitt wants a SOPA like law to pass, but wants it changed in some ways. Mitt does not just want to enforce the current laws but add new laws which will affect the interest while ignoring the underlining cause of the problem.
Rick Santorum as he indicated is kind of in favor of SOPA more than the rest fi you see how he says it but not 100% after he as well saw the backlash. You can see Rick's trying to watch his words carefully not to get booed and try to be as honest as he can.
Ron Paul might more likely side with what Max Kaiser says, which I will get to in a moment but seems to want no Federal regulation at all unlike the rest that way some sort of federal regulation. Well many have to hand it to him that he is the only one that seems to vote "NO" on everything Federal laws imposed on everyone and want a "free market" to not have corporations pressure government to pass laws unlike the other candidates. Even if they vote no now to SOPA or PIPA, it still leaves the door open in the future which Paul wants to shut that option. Eventually SOPA like laws will pass since it only takes time to pass and close to impossible to undo. The others switch sides like politicians when it suites them and it does pay pa off to lie since people do not fact check or think it through.
And do not count out President Obama since it is very unpopular to side with SOPA now. He know it's election time so he needs all the support he can get. But Obama's administration did arrested people from other countries under SOPA like actions where others did not break any of their countries laws. As you can see its not just about a federal law but a world law pushed pushed for with the help of millions of dollars by big corporations to politicians to impose the laws.
Even if the SOPA or PIPA laws gets voted down, it will never go away until it passes or partially passed in parts hidden in 10,000 page bills that no one reads but they all get paid to vote for. So all these complaints and blacks-outs are only delaying the inevitable. As stated the candidates do not want to close that option to not let corporations influence the Federal Government. Sadly the only way to close that option is to limit Federal power in what Ron Paul suggested, or else the Federal Government will dictate to every state and nation in what it feel is proper in its own context. For the GOP to be against a nanny state they sure vote for it when it came to SOPA. And most people would vote for SOPA if paid enough since everyone has a price.
Most know what politicians are like Newt Gingrich, the issue is how much money would it take since everyone has a price especially the ones that have been bought out before. People know that politicians get use to the lifestyle and even Obama and his family would never have gotten to see the world with the amount of taxpayer money they spent, which even the 1% don't spend that lavishly especially at the expense of others.
None of them can openly admit it and they are 100% right to not say they are for SOPA, PIPA, or the likes, but their past actions and friends say something else which people should think about.
Despite all that as Max Kaiser on The Kaiser Report has stated how bad certain copyright has hurt the economy, innovation, and the people. Paid politicians will not and can not see that point. Keiser Report: Hollywood Cons Congress (E234)
Even JeepersMedia stated how the MEDIA intentionally showed people how to download illegal material like music for free and made the P2P programs like Kazaa for people to use, in order to collect enough information to push for laws like SOPA to stop competition. No one raised the issue who helped make those download music and movies possible which was the big corporations like CBS, Microsoft, Disney and many more. It is not only funded by the entertainment and news corporations, but by pharmaceutical companies to hurt competition, innovation, and information. Studies have shown that the claims for SOPA are false since people that do hear music for example would not have bought it in the first place. People that get it for free as The Kaiser Reports indicates, did not hurt the companies but helped it promote there product for something that most would not have bought. People do not need the internet to see for free which they can buy it illegally, got it off then street as many did in the old days, rented it from the library, off the radio or TV, of even seen or borrowed the thing from a friend. Those actions are what studies have shown which contradict with what the media says.
The music artists should sue are the people that support SOPA which helped push their product for free. The current laws have to be enforced not to make new ones which hurt the people that follow the laws which the candidates want to have more laws. Many find it outrageous that the federal government should be involved with a crime like robbery which is like being involved with someone stealing an apple or orange. This is categorized as a conspiracy which means to plot behind closed doors since the media will not report it and has not reported about SOPA so that people know which was reported by online independent media which is one reason they want to censor the internet due to people being informed online and not by the mainstream. Since the mainstream media was involved in the illegal action to use it as an excuse to pass SOPA will anyone be punished for it? Who do you think the media wants in public office like president to support their cause and who do you think the media does not want?
Be a HERO and Help STOP SOPA Now!! I'll tell you How!
Agree or disagree this is another sides of the story. But from what points were brought up it "seems" that Newt Gingrich supports SOPA like laws, Mitt Romney supports SOPA like laws, and Rick Santorum supports SOPA like laws. Now will any of them agree to punish the mainstream media and its subsidiaries for being hypocrites for pushing people to download the illegal materials? Will they uphold the "original" copyright laws and it's limitation to be not over 12 years to not stifle innovation by monopoly practices? (Corporations buy innovative products to not release them intentionally since they feel it hurts business if they use the cheaper newer technology which is why corporations donated to politicians to change the copyright laws for their benefit and eliminate fair competition and innovation as indicated by The Kaiser Report.) Will they fight for the people after they are put in by the people or by the big corporations that paid for them to be in office?

Screeching Weasel - "A New Tomorrow"
Backing vocals: Blake Schwarzenbach, Cassandra Millspaugh and Joey Vindictive
From the album insert (not lyrics):
"A new cause for cancer is found everyday, along with a new tip for prevention. Cellular phones, an apple a day, oat bran cereal - how safe is your microwave… IT'S A LITTLE TOO MUCH TO HANDLE. The road to self-reliance is paved with paranoia; the sensory overload takes its toll and reduces us to flopping dying fish until someone takes us by the hand and leads us off to a safe place: school, church, the good job, the new car - places in which we can comfortably exist while our identities wither and die. The images still flash and pound but we've grown accustomed to them and they don't bother us as much anymore. We make selective purchases and increase our comfortability in tentative increments, blissfully unaware that we're spending more and more time at the office and less and less time at home in front of the big screen TV. The lies we've told ourselves are now reality: consumerism, politics, religion. These are the symptoms, not the problem. The Anthem For A New Tomorrow is empty sloganeering, another headline no-brainer. Hollow like almost everything else. When we learn to figure out what's real and honest, when we can act ethically not in order to gain a potential ticket to heaven but to free our minds from the score keeping, paranoid, isolationist theories of life we've been taught, when we learn to do instead of killing time with drugs, god, television, empty relationships and clawing our way to the top of the shit heap, that's when we'll wake up from the American Dream, and maybe then we'll see a NEW TOMORROW."

LANDOVER, MD - DECEMBER 21: Brian Orakpo #98 of the Washington Redskins is introduced before the Redskins take on the Giants at FedEx Field on December 21, 2009 in Landover, Maryland. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)
ESPN released a list on Tuesday of the top pass rushers currently in the NFL. The panel was made up of ESPN bloggers and the Redskins Brian Orakpo was left off of the list.
Apparently Orakpo did not take too kindly to that, and headed to the twitters to voice is disapproval.
Someone should tell him that the lockout may take care of killing the season before he gets to it.
As far as lists like this go, they're pretty irrelevant in the long run. I mean seriously, who cares what a bunch of bloggers think anyway, amiright?

Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (93 Edition)by Carson Mccullers
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
When she was only twenty-three, Carson McCullers's first novel created a literary sensation. She was very special, one of America's superlative writers who conjures up a vision of existence as terrible as it is real, who takes us on shattering voyages into the depths of the spiritual isolation that underlies the human condition. This novel is the work of a supreme artist, Carson McCullers's enduring masterpiece. The heroine is the strange young girl, Mick Kelly. The setting is a small Southern town, the cosmos universal and eternal. The characters are the damned, the voiceless, the rejected. Some fight their loneliness with violence and depravity, Some with sex or drink, and some -- like Mick — with a quiet, intensely personal search for beauty.
From the Paperback edition.
The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter was published in the spring of 1940, and was immediately a literary sensation. Carson McCullers was only twenty-three years old, had lived in a small southern town for most of her life, and this was her first novel. But she had read widely in Dostoevsky, Gogol, Chekhov, Tolstoy, and Eugene O'Neill, and her knowledge and insight into her characters transcended her real experience. Mick Kelly, the adolescent at the center of this strange and brooding novel, is very much the girl McCullers had been in Georgia - passionately musical, and attracted to freaks and outcasts. Mick's spiritual kinship with John Singer, a deaf mute, and with other social misfits, provides a haunting look into the abyss encountered by human beings in their attempts at love. Years later, McCullers's friend Tennessee Williams wrote that she "owned the heart and the deep understanding of it, but in addition she had that 'tongue of angels' that gave her power to sing of it, to make of it an anthem".

Nnamdi Asomugha once was the best cornerback in the NFL. Today he is a free agent. This is for good reason. The San Francisco 49ers signed Asomugha in April for a meager $3 million potential dollars. He earned about $1.5 million of that. Though he started the season as the 3rd cornerback — already a far cry from where he once was across the Bay as an Oakland Raider, an injury sidelined him and opened the way for Tramaine Brock to prove himself. Brock did.
It is definitely sad a player who was once so incredible that no one ever threw to him become a shell of his former self. Without his former number, now without even a team, Asomugha has little going for him now. On the bright side for him, perhaps he will be picked up off of waivers and not be a healthy scratch on gamedays.
For the 49ers, however, it was time to part ways. Many players are returning from injuries and there are only so many spots on the roster. An inactive 4th (now, perhaps, would be 5th with Eric Wright being activated off of the Non-Football-Injury list) cornerback does very little good on a roster that does not need him. Cuts cannot be made sentimentally, or with too much regard to salary and name recognition. The 49ers did the right thing — and the Wright thing — in releasing Asomugha.

Robin Thicke 'Blurred Lines' Music Video Ft. T.I., Pharrell (Watch)
Robin Thicke is back with a new music video titled "Blurred Lines" featuring T.I. and Pharrell.
The mid-tempo song is the first offering taking from Thicke's upcoming sixth album that will be out later this year.
"Blurred Lines" was produced by Pharrell signaling that the 2000s super producer is still on top of his game.
The sound is very refreshing and the video is light and colorful although it is not something you would have expected coming from the "Lost Without U" singer.
It looks like that the three artists had a lot of fun shooting this visual with these hot models.
T.I. should really be praised for his sense of comedy that was in full display in this video.
You can watch the clip below.
