He worked hard, first as a bricklayer and later driving semi-trailers. After marrying an Italian woman and having two sons, life seemed promising. But at 33 years old, his wife was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Worse was to come: when his youngest son reached 24, he was also diagnosed as schizophrenic. A huge and endless burden of care fell upon Rossi, with little support from extended family.
Rossi is honest about his feelings: 'It was very difficult to accept my situation. I felt cheated by life. If I could give advice to someone in a similar situation, I would say that they should run away. I wanted to run away, leave everything behind, but I didn't because I am a family man. The only things that have helped me to continue to face my situation are the support from case management professionals, attending a support group and having one whole day a week to do something for myself.'

House to mark up $260 billion transportation bill
Tina Grady Barbaccia | January 30, 2012
Three House of Representatives committees will mark up this week a five-year, $260 billion highway and transit reauthorization bill, according to an American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) report.
The current extension of the nation's surface transportation bill — The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) — expires on March 31. It was signed into law on Aug. 10, 2005, by President George W. Bush, and originally expired Sept. 31, 2009.
The organization says the key policy legislative language is expected to be released by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Jan. 30 or Jan. 31, followed by a committee meeting the morning of Feb. 2 to consider amendments and vote on the bill, the "American Energy & Infrastructure Jobs Act."
State transportation department executives were briefed on the measure the evening of Jan. 27 by House Transportation & Infrastructure (T&I) Committee staff during a conference call organized by AASHTO officials. Two draft bill summaries circulating on Capitol Hill indicate the House measure will include many provisions for which state Departments of Transportation have been asking, the organization says.

JPMorgan boosts CEO Dimon's pay to $20 million
JPMorgan Chase almost doubled Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon's pay for 2013, rewarding the executive for settling probes against the bank.
AP Business Writer
JPMorgan Chase almost doubled Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon's pay for 2013, rewarding the executive for settling probes against the bank.
Dimon will receive total compensation of $20 million in 2013, consisting of $18.5 million in stock options and a base salary of $1.5 million, the bank said in a statement Friday.
That compares with total compensation of $11.5 million a year earlier, down from $23 million in each of the previous two years.
The bank says it took several factors into account when deciding on Dimon's pay, including the "sustained long-term performance" of the bank, gains in market share and customer satisfaction as well as his handling of the legal issues facing the lender.
JPMorgan agreed in November to pay $13 billion in a settlement with the Department of Justice and acknowledged that it misled investors about the quality of risky mortgage-backed securities ahead of the 2008 financial crisis. The bank was among the major lenders that sold mortgage-backed securities that plunged in value when the housing market collapsed in 2006 and 2007.
Earlier this month, the bank reached an agreement to pay $1.7 billion to settle criminal charges stemming from its failure to report its concerns about Wall Street swindler Bernard Madoff's private investment service.
JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s stock price climbed $14.51, or 33 percent, to $58.48 in 2013, a bigger gain than Standard & Poor's 500 index, which rose almost 30 percent.
The bank's net income fell 16 percent to $17.9 billion in 2013, from $21.3 billion a year earlier.

Tracy McGrady's Career Is Defined by Injuries, Playoff Failure
At 34, Tracy McGrady has decided to retire from the game of basketball. He will go down as one of the NBA's preeminent scorers during his peak. A rash of injuries severely plagued him through is mid-20s, and followed him through the rest of his career. He decides to hang up the jersey and sneakers after reaching the NBA Finals for the first time last season with the San Antonio Spurs. Last year's run by the Spurs was also McGrady's first ever time playing farther than the 2nd round. He will leave the game of basketball without a ring, two scoring titles, and seven All-Star game appearances.
One has to wonder what the landscape of the NBA would be like today if Tracy McGrady was able to stay healthy. All players have injuries, but he seemed to catch them like the common cold. His infamous string of 1st round losses and relative NBA Playoff failure may not ever be matched by someone of his caliber.
Starting off his career straight from high school, he was drafted by the Toronto Raptors and played alongside his 3rd cousin Vince Carter. While overshadowed by Carter, the duo led the Raptors to the NBA Playoffs in 2000 for the first time in franchise history. The stay was short as they were swept by the New York Knicks in the first round.
McGrady became a free-agent in the summer of 2000 and was then dealt to the Orlando Magic. He played beside Grant Hill who was also signed the same summer. Ironically, an injury is what put McGrady on the map in Orlando. With Grant Hill being limited to four games due to an ankle injury, McGrady became the top scoring option and the unquestioned leader. He was later named to the All-Star game and named the NBA's Most Improved Player in 2001. Despite McGrady's growth, the Magic lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Hill's injuries made Orlando a one-man show the following season. McGrady was named to another All-Star team and averaged 26 points per game. The Magic still met their demise in the first round, this time to the Charlotte Hornets. His last two seasons in Orlando saw him win two scoring titles in a row and two more All-Star games. Despite McGrady's efforts, the Magic failed to get out of the first round. In 2002, the Magic had a 3-1 lead on the Detroit Pistons in the playoffs. McGrady was quoted saying how good it felt to finally have a chance at the 2nd round. The Magic lost the series by more than 20 points per game. Heavily depleted by injuries, the Magic limped to a 21-61 record in 2003 and won the No.1 overall draft pick.
The Houston Rockets acquired McGrady in a seven-man trade with Orlando. He would continue to rack up the scoring numbers and All-Star game appearances while being paired with 7-foot-6 Chinese sensation Yao Ming. In 2005, McGrady highlighted the Rockets' 2-0 lead on the Dallas Mavericks with his Game 2 dunk over 7-foot-6 Shawn Bradley and hitting the game winner. Dallas pushed the series to Game 7, where McGrady missed six of his first seven shots. The Mavericks won by 40 points.
McGrady missed 20 games in the next two seasons due to back spasms. The Rockets would grab a No.5 seed in the playoffs as McGrady re-established himself as one of the best in the league. Houston's first round series with Utah would end in seven games. Before the game, McGrady was quoted saying if the Rockets failed to get out of the first round again, it was on him. The Jazz won, and McGrady spoke a very emotional message in the post-game interviews. He said:
"I tried man, I tried."
In 2007, McGrady started taking pain-killing injections to nurse shoulder and knee injuries. He had to have both joints drained before being able to play. The Jazz once again eliminated the Rockets in six games, despite 40 points from McGrady in the 113-91 loss. The shoulder and knee issues eventually led to surgery. McGrady played 41 games in his last two seasons with the Rockets before being traded to New York. He finished his career by bouncing around from the Atlanta Hawks, to China, and then to San Antonio.
While he is now facing retirement from the NBA, he is still leaving the door open to playing overseas. He leaves playing 16 seasons in the NBA and providing some of the best comeback stories that could never be duplicated.

One good thing happened in Week 38. Attorney General Eric Holder resigned. He was described as "a champion of civil rights if not civil liberties" -- naively I thought they were the same. He attacked racial inequality while eroding the rest of the Bill of Rights by approving mass surveillance of Americans and subpoenaing more journalists than any past administration. The rest of the news was mostly bleak. The environment continued to get worse, with carbon emissions hitting new records that included a 2.9% increase in the U.S. last year. President Obama urged the countries of the United Nations to combat global warming but the Republicans have stopped any effort to do something about it. Ebola continued to spread, with the World Health Organization saying last week that the contagion was far worse than previously thought. A look at a map of the affliction shows hot spots in Sierra Leone and huge zones where the disease has started to spread. And in the Middle East, the U.S. continued its turn back into the theatre we just left. Islamic State, described by UN monitors as committing "acts of inhumanity on an unimaginable scale," was making headway across an enormous front from the north of Syria to the towns around Baghdad. While Iraq Army units were left short of ammunition and support. All of it was bleak but not surprising. One story, however, turned my head around. Our man in Iraq, the new president Haider al-Abadi, told a group of journalists that he supports the bombing of IS forces in Syria, with a condition. I figured the condition was the same as that expressed by our president who says he does not want the bombing of IS positions to help the Syrian government which we oppose. Iraq's president would therefore be echoing the position of his benefactor and bomber in chief. I was part way through the story and realized I had better go back and start over. It turned out that, no, the Iraqi president took the opposite position. He wants to make sure the bombing does not hurt the Syrian government. Because he supports the murderous Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. In the British Parliament, which unlike our Congress debated the decision, one parliamentarian heatedly compared bombing to an attack on a barbarian to aid a butcher. But our man in Iraq wants us to be careful on how we go about attacking the barbarian at his gate because he supports the butcher next door. He prevaricates. He dithers, as his army loses battles. And the butcher of Damascus, it turns out, has had a working relationship with the barbarian of the north, refraining from bombing his positions and paying him to keep oil pipelines intact while also refining some of the oil shipped from the wells he controls. Meanwhile, our president snubs our natural ally in the region, Iran, which opposes the barbarian of the north but also supports the butcher of Damascus, as does the fool of Baghdad. Into that hot mess along comes our government with drones and warplanes dropping bombs. As the admiral in the movie Hunt for Red October says, "This business will get out of control."
The most powerful politicians in the world today are Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. Angela Merkel comes in a lame third, and the president of the United States isn't even on the map. This is not a slam on President Obama. It's just how it is. Chinese scholar Orville Schell, in an alarming story in the Oct. 23 New York Review of Books, described how China deliberately insulted former President Jimmy Carter on his recent trip to China. Schell, our pre-eminent scholar of things Chinese, accompanied Carter and saw it with his own eyes. Carter, the most moderate of men, was so offended from the deliberate insults that he wanted to call off the rest of the trip and come home. But Jimmy didn't do it because he's a good guy, and he knew the harm he could have done by acting like a human being. Schell quoted Xi as saying - though not directly to Carter: "One part of the now-longstanding Chinese leadership critique of Western-style democracy is that it is prone to paralysis and gridlock and ultimately governmental weakness." Can we deny it? Look at Congress today. Look at it for the past six years. In a biography of Julius Caesar, Adrian Goldsworthy proposed that one reason for the fall of the Roman republic was that "most of the Roman elite preferred to let some of the major problems facing the republic to go unanswered rather than see someone else gain the credit for dealing with them." Ahem. Since President Obama was elected for the first time, the U.S. Congress has devoted itself to crippling him. Speaker of the House John Boehner declared it his primary objective. And he's managed to do it. This has nothing to do with who is right or wrong, or who is on "the right side of history." It's about power. The fact is that Putin - who is a bad man, a kleptocrat, a murderer, a sleaze - and Xi - vide supra - wield more pure power in the world today than does the United States. This is due, in great part, as Xi said, to the dysfunctional U.S. Congress. For more than 2,000 years, since the reign of Julius Caesar, the world has wondered whether it's possible to be a successful ruler and a good man - at the same time. Goldsworthy, in his 2006 book, "Caesar: Life of a Colossus," wrote that Caesar was a great man, but not a good man. Look at our presidents in the past 50 years. How many of them have been good men? Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. They were two of the weakest presidents we've ever had. Weak in the political sense - unable to get their laws passed - not weak personally. Then look at our strong presidents - Nixon, LBJ, GW Bush. What a bunch of creeps - no matter where they squatted on the political spectrum. Many moons ago, I worked at a newspaper that handed out annual "merit pay raises." One year the boss gave a reporter a 3-cents an hour raise. Think that's about right for Congress? Oh, that's right, they grant their own pay raises. And perks. Is it possible in today's world to be a powerful politician and a good man? I don't know. Just thought I'd ask.
Hell hath no fury like a judge spurned. Anyone thinking of voting out a sitting judge might want to keep that in mind. An entertaining case in point can be found in a Georgia Supreme Court ruling last week called Heiskell v. Roberts, in which we learn that after a state court judge lost an election, he proceeded to dismiss 60 traffic cases. Then a "trial court correctly concluded that Roberts was exercising a judicial function when he dismissed the traffic cases, because adjudication of such cases is a function normally performed by a judge." Most judging is done by judges. The judge got judicial immunity because he was judging. It doesn't have to be good judging to be immune judging. Take that, stupid voters. The judge then sued, believe it or not, for a higher salary, and county officials counterclaimed for, among other things, intentional infliction of emotional distress because of the traffic case dismissals. Who says people in government don't have feelings? Here's my favorite part of the ruling: "Appellants' argument that judicial immunity applies only to 'claims' brought against a judge and not to 'counterclaims' brought against a judge is baseless. A 'counterclaim' is simply the way that a defendant brings a 'claim' against the plaintiff in an existing lawsuit." Next time they should try a crossclaim. Maybe that will work. Artistic advice. Do you want to improve the quality of your law firm's videos? I can't imagine why you'd want to do that - it's a law firm, not a movie studio - but if you do, you can find seven tips in a piece posted last week by the National Law Review (which is not to be confused with the National Law Journal, despite the strangely similar title). The article, written by a guy who claims to have lectured thousands of lawyers about video marketing and is selling a book about it, can also be found on the author's website. The tips are odd. In fact, most of them don't seem to be tips at all - they're questions, e.g.: "What should you talk about?" and "Who are you?" Fair enough. If you can't remember who you are, you probably won't be able to sell yourself on camera. My favorite tip is number 4: "The video equipment doesn't matter." So you should just pretend you have a camera? Apparently, it's a psychological exercise. Fortunately, I'm here to offer better tips. 1. Don't cast anyone's actor girl/boyfriend. They'll try to take over the shoot and insist on cast parties. Those aren't bad things, but you're likely to lose a substantial portion of your personnel who come to see acting as a better way of life. 2. Don't include porn or cats in your video. Most of the Internet is already devoted to porn and cats. You're not going to stand out that way. Be creative. Turtles and baby llamas are good. 3. Be dramatic. Footage of maniacal laughter and an office orgy after a successful court appearance shows that you care about your work. Use extras to portray clients enjoying the orgy. (This is not porn. It is merely an expression of appreciation for excellent representation.) 4. Before and after. Demonstrate the impact of your work with a dramatic reenactment of a client's story. This should begin with a homeless, bedraggled client living in a walkway outside a courthouse and end with the client in silk pajamas relaxing in his/her brand-new Malibu mansion. A little literary license is fine. 5. The video equipment does matter. Really. You need to record this stuff on some kind of film or digital thing.

Top 10 Speed Demons of College Football in 2014
The 10 Biggest Speed Demons of College Football in 2014
It never hurts to have too much speed on your team. Colleges such as Florida State are constantly adding elite speedsters to their roster with every recruiting class. This helps to explain their dominance in the current landscape of college football.
They say that speed kills, and in the world of football, crime pays. Now let's take a look at the top 10 speed demons in college football for 2014. I recommend that you don't blink.
10. Justin Scott-Wesley, University of Georgia
10. Justin Scott-Wesley, University of Georgia
In 2013, as the fastest player on the team, Scott-Wesley started to blossom into a nice deep threat for the Georgia Bulldogs until he suffered an ACL tear against Tennessee on Oct. 5.
The good news is that he is fully recovered, medically cleared for practices and intends to use his impressive 10.39 100-meter speed to build on his success from last year.
9. Sheroid Evans, University of Texas
9. Sheroid Evans, University of Texas
Evans arrived on the University of Texas campus in 2011 with a lot of promise. However, in his first three seasons, he has yet to break into the starting lineup and unfortunately, he tore his ACL last season. In short, his career has been a disappointment so far.
This is his final year to apply his 20.82 200-meter dash speed to the football field and make an impact. It would be a shame for his great speed to go to waste.
8. Dallas Burroughs, Boise State University
8. Dallas Burroughs, Boise State University
Boise State has struggled to establish Burroughs as a deep-ball threat for the three years that he's been there. He seemed to have a breakout game in the 2011 MAACO Bowl where he recorded nine catches, 175 yards, and a TD. However, Burroughs hasn't come close to a similar performance over the past two seasons.
If the QB play can establish some consistency, then perhaps the Broncos can take advantage of Burroughs' 4.28 40-yard dash speed.
7. Cameron Echols-Luper, Texas Christian University
7. Cameron Echols-Luper, Texas Christian University
As a returner, Echols-Luper experienced some success in 2013. His impressive 13.4 yards per return ranked him 16th in the NCAA. He should see increased success this season as TCU will use him more at the wide receiver position along with being a returner.
Echols-Luper also doubles up as a sprinter on the TCU track team, and has a blistering personal record of 20.61 in the 200-meter dash. He is easily one of the fastest players in the country.
6. Khalfani Muhammad, University of California
6. Khalfani Muhammad, University of California
Last year was a success for Muhammad as a sprinter for the California track team and as a kick returner for the football team. On the field, he produced an outstanding 1,006 return yards. On the track, he has personal bests of 10.22 in the 100-meter dash and 20.74 in the 200-meter dash.
Muhammad is currently listed No. 2 on the running back depth chart, and may supplant Daniel Lasco as the lead back in 2014 with his blazing speed.
5. Artie Burns, University of Miami
5. Artie Burns, University of Miami
Miami is a school that is well known for its fast players. Former players such as Devin Hester and Santana Moss are clear examples of their speedy lineage. As a dual-athlete at Miami, Burns is the next in line to carry on that legacy.
Not only is he one of the best hurdlers in the country with an incredible time of 7.68 in the 60-meter high hurdles, but he is also an emerging defensive star as a starting cornerback for the Hurricanes.
4. Broderick Snoddy, Georgia Tech
4. Broderick Snoddy, Georgia Tech
Amazing is the only word that can be used to describe his speed. He has broken the school 60-meter dash record three times in the last two years. Along with his 6.67 60-meter speed, Snoddy also ran 10.28 in the 100-meter dash.
Additionally, Snoddy flashed signs of promise in football with an outstanding 6.2 YPC as Georgia Tech's backup running back in 2013, and will be strongly considered for the lead role in 2014.
3. Kolby Listenbee, Texas Christian University
3. Kolby Listenbee, Texas Christian University
Listenbee is a player who has seen way more success on the track than on the field so far in his career. Not only does he run a blinding 10.12 (wind-aided) in the 100-meter dash, but he has also recorded times of 20.65 in the 200-meter dash and 6.7 in the 60-meter dash.
If TCU can get him and Cameron Echols-Luper more involved in 2014, they could literally have the fastest receiving corps in the country.
2. Raheem Mostert, Purdue University
2. Raheem Mostert, Purdue University
After some early frustrations in his career with injuries and positional uncertainty, Mostert is poised to have a breakout season in 2014. He has already experienced a breakout year in track by winning Big 10 championships in the 60-meter, 100-meter and 200-meter dashes.
His world-class times of 10.15 (wind-aided) over 100 meters, 20.65 over 200 meters, and 6.63 over 60 meters have him ready to explode as the lead return man for Purdue.
1. Levonte "Kermit" Whitfield, Florida State University
1. Levonte "Kermit" Whitfield, Florida State University
Florida State never seems to suffer from a shortage of speed. It was proven during this year's BCS National Championship game when Levonte Whitfield outran Auburn for a 100-yard kickoff return to give the Seminoles a 27-24 lead en route to a 34-31 victory.
Considering his impact, along with times of 10.15 over 100 meters and 6.64 over 60 meters, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Whitfield is the No. 1 college football speed demon for 2014.

About four dozen Colombian youth soccer players are in Duluth this weekend to practice their skills as well as explore the city before the 30th Annual Schwan's USA Cup tournament in Blaine, Minnesota next Tuesday.
This is the second year this Colombian Youth Soccer Program has stayed in Duluth on the UMD campus. The head coach of the program, Diego Bolivar, said last year was so great that they had to come back.
"The people who came last year were so happy," said Bolivar. "When they told their parents about the place, all of them spoke very good things about the beautiful lake, the beautiful nature and especially the people because they got the opportunity to share with the community. It was so great."

Heath Ledger Was Too Much For Michelle Williams
Numerous personal issues of Heath Ledger being too much for Michelle Williams–his fiancee and mother to his daughter, Matilda–plagued them for the years they had been together since the set of "Brokeback Mountain." Rumors persisted that the embattled star dealt with substance abuse, depression and loss of sleep due to his growing stardom. Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger both tried to work on their problems throughout their engagement, but they were too much for her to handle since they broke up years later. Heath Ledger's drug abuse bothered Michelle Williams deeply as she fought hard to leave him with their daughter while he continued to live in New York. Many of Heath Ledger's friends noticed how much this affected him as Heath became more and more introverted and distant which caused his loss of sleep.
Heath Ledger's role as the Joker was as taxing to him as the reality of the break up with Michelle Williams that he took Ambien, a sleeping medication, in order to catch up on rest. The pressure and loneliness began to sink the troubled star into darker spiral of drugs that, after Michelle Williams, he went through a series of relationships with women, such as Mary-Kate Olsen. Even his closest friend, Jake Gyllenhaal worried for his wellbeing because Heath Ledger's problems were too much for Michelle Williams to stay in their relationship. Additionally, Gyllenhaal was the godfather to Heath's daughter, Matilda. Regretfully, Heath Ledger passed away of an accidental overdose to prescription medication.

The voter ID through the DMV is ridiculous! And throughout the state, there were many told that they must present ID in order to vote. Not true! My son was asked and he told the poll worker, "No. You do not have the right to ask me for ID in this state. I won't be giving you my ID." She insisted and told him that he would not be able to vote. He still refused and told her she was wrong- that he would be voting! Another poll worker stepped in and told the woman that she was not allowed to ask him for ID and they gave him his ballot. My son said that everyone in front of him had willingly showed ID. Sheep!
Some DMV voter registrations fall through cracks, registrars say
Some would-be voters seek court orders to get ballots counted
By Will Evans on November 12, 2012 – 12:01 a.m. PST
Jonathan Eldridge wanted to vote for president.
The Santa Rosa resident had registered to vote – or so he thought – at a Department of Motor Vehicles office several months ago. But when he called the Sonoma County registrar last week to find out why he hadn't received any ballot information, Eldridge was told there was no record of his registration.
Eldridge's only option was to come to the registrar's office, apply for a last-minute court order allowing him to vote and hope that a judge would approve it.
"I was appalled," said Eldridge, 44, who works for a computer forensics company. "I was like, 'How can someone deny me the right to vote?' I couldn't believe it."

To the Editor: Government should leave business alone
Congress recently sent a $40 billion "Small-business credit, hiring bill" to the White House. As usual, the Democrats believe the way to prosperity is to prop up the business community with borrowed, government money. That money always provides less than its cost, and has strings attached to it, making each recipient more obligated to its governmental benefactor.
If, instead of raising taxes to fund these giveaway programs, the government were to cut back on taxes and leave the business of private enterprise to its own devices, we would see long-term, sustainable growth.
A Democrat-controlled Congress committed nearly $1 trillion to a failed jobs bill just over a year ago. That wonderful program took our unemployment rate from under 8 percent to 10 percent. With a history like that, they want to replicate it?
The definition of insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. This administration has gone way beyond insane in its pernicious, backward approach to rebuilding our economy. In November, let's elect some responsible, conservative Republicans who will be true and faithful stewards of the tax dollars we must send to Washington and Springfield.

Rahm Emanuel leading exodus of Obama aides from White House
Saturday 25 September 2010
The likely departure of the White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, to run for Mayor of Chicago is part of a half-term reshuffle of top aides that will signal a new chapter in the history of Barack Obama's increasingly embattled presidency.
It also raises a vital question: will Mr Obama continue to rely on the small and trusted group of intimates who have followed him from Chicago to Washington – or will he seize the chance to bring in new blood from the outside to invigorate an administration high command that critics say has become insular and out of touch?
The official word at the White House remains that Mr Emanuel is still "in the process of thinking about what he's going to do next". Unofficially, it is virtually taken for granted he will leave. The filing deadline for the race to succeed the outgoing mayor, Richard Daley, is 22 November, and the Chicago Sun-Times reported yesterday that Terry Peterson, head of the city's transit authority, had signed up as Mr Emanuel's campaign manager.
Among the possible replacements as Chief of Staff (whose role is to take charge of the day-to-day running of the White House and advise the President) are Pete Rouse, a senior Obama adviser; Tim Kaine, the former governor of Virginia; and Tom Donilon, the deputy national security adviser to General James Jones. But Gen Jones, too, is said to want to leave by the end of the year.
Another impending departure is that of David Axelrod, a key adviser and architect of the 2008 campaign, who has been to President Obama something akin to what Karl Rove was to George W Bush. Mr Axelrod is also set to head to Chicago some time after the mid-term elections on 2 November, to plan President Obama's 2012 re-election bid. "I've been pretty clear ... that at some point, I'm going to go back and work on the re-election campaign," he said this week.
No less of an upheaval looms in the President's economic team. After two years as director of Mr Obama's National Economic Council, the abrasive Larry Summers is returning to his former professorship at Harvard, while Peter Orszag, the budget director, and Christina Romer, head of the Council of Economic Advisers, have already left. There are hiccups ahead in the wider government, too, with Defence Secretary Robert Gates signalling his intention to step down well before the President's term is complete.
Mr Obama is said to be keen for a woman to replace Mr Summers, and among the names mentioned are Anne Mulcahy, a former chairwoman of Xerox, and Laura D'Andrea Tyson, a top economic adviser at the Clinton White House.
However dramatic in appearance, such staff turnovers are anything but unusual at the White House, with its gruelling working hours, round-the-clock pressure and disruption of family life – not to mention all those large egos cooped up in a small space, and salaries that are often far below those in the private sector.
Andrew Card's stint of five and a half years under George Bush was very much the exception. Both Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton got through four chiefs of staff in their eight years in office. George Bush Senior had three in his single four-year term.
Mr Emanuel, whose performance has won praise and blame in equal measure, made no secret of his ambivalence about taking the job when Mr Obama offered it days after his election victory in November 2008. Then a senior Democratic Congressman, he eventually accepted, but at the price of forfeiting a career on Capitol Hill that many believed would one day take him to the Speakership. More recently he has not concealed his interest in becoming mayor of his native Chicago, in the footsteps of the Daley dynasty.
The focus will now be on how Mr Obama remodels his team. Incoming presidents, from John F Kennedy and Jimmy Carter to Bill Clinton and George Bush, have relied, initially at least, on a small group of trusted advisers they have known for years. Mr Obama followed that pattern, with a "Chicago Mafia" consisting of people like Mr Axelrod, Valerie Jarrett and David Plouffe, his 2008 campaign manager.
But as the President's troubles have grown – his approval ratings have fallen from over 70 per cent in early 2009 to the mid-40s today, and his party faces heavy losses in November – so has criticism of the White House team among many Democrats.
Mr Obama himself is increasingly, if unfairly, described as over-analytical and short of empathy with ordinary Americans struggling to cope with the economic downturn. The looming staff shake-up may be his last opportunity to correct those impressions.

The President's chief enforcer has long hoped to be mayor of Chicago – and the timing might suit Obama, in particular if a chastening mid-term result dictates a more conciliatory approach to the Republicans.
Robert Gates
Defence Secretary
After a lengthy period at the Pentagon, where he also served George W Bush, Gates has made it clear that he has no intention of seeing out Obama's first term. He is likely to delay his departure until 2011 given the other issues now on the President's plate.
Larry Summers
Director of the National Economic Council
Although the announcement of his impending departure inevitably set tongues wagging, those closest to him insist it was because he did not want to lose his tenure at Harvard. Looming mid-terms may mean the President makes a consciously pro-business choice of replacement.
General James Jones
National Security Adviser
Once a key influence on the president's decision making on Afghanistan, he has since fallen out badly with Obama's closest advisers. Fallout from Bob Woodward's book detailing those relationships may only increase his rumoured anxiety to depart before the end of the year.
David Axelrod
Senior Adviser
One of the most trusted aides from the campaign, Axelrod could depart the White House to begin work on a re-election bid. His departure as well as Emanuel's would transform the tight-knit cabal that surrounds Obama.

After completing this page, click "Submit." College cost estimator 1. Michigan CAP's College Cost Estimator is a great tool for learning the costs of attending Michigan's college and universities, and also helps students to plan for these expenses. 2. In order to navigate this tool, first hover over the "Paying for College" menu and then click on "College Cost Estimator." 3. Next, add a school to view its yearly cost. You may search for a college or university by name or view all of Michigan's colleges starting with each letter. Both of these search features can be found at the bottom of the page. 4. Once you add a school its yearly tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies and extra expense costs will be displayed. Below the school's costs, there is a box for you to enter any scholarships, grants, loans or work study funding you have received. Once you have entered this information, click "Calculate" at the bottom of the page. 5. This will then calculate your average yearly and total cost of attending that college or university. You can then choose to add another college or university so that you can compare their costs side-by-side. loan cost calculator 1. The Loan Cost Calculator is a tool for estimating your monthly payment if you choose to take a student loan. 2. First, you will enter the loan amount that you will need. You may want to use the information you gathered from the College Cost Estimator to choose the loan amount required to attend the school that fits you. 3. Next, you will enter the average interest rate of your loan. As the information button will note (the blue buttons with the white i), a good starting place for most student loans is 7.0%. 4. Finally, enter the number of years you have to repay the loan. Many loans allow 10 years to repay the loan in full, so if you are not sure, choose 10 years. 5. Click "Calculate." Your loan cost and analysis will then appear. You can see an estimate of your monthly payment, the amount of interest you will pay, and the total amount of your loan with interest. 6. Finally, the Loan Cost Calculator has a feature that will estimate whether your dream career's salary will support your monthly loan payments. Enter a career by clicking the "Choose a career" button. You can select a career from the list, which will fill in that job's average salary. You can then click "Calculate affordability." This will then estimate your quality of life while paying your monthly loan payments on your career's salary. The different levels of your potential quality of life are signified by the type of food you can afford: a can of beans, pizza or steak! efc estimator 1. This tool can be used to calculate your Estimate Family Contribution to your college education, which is an important figure when applying for financial aid. 2. The EFC Estimator should be completed with the help of a parent or guardian, because it does require information about your income, assets, tax payments and their income, assets and tax payments. You may both need your most recent W2 form to answer these questions. For more information on any question, click the information button beside that question field. 3. Once you have completed all 14 questions, click "Calculate" at the bottom of the page. 4. This will then calculate your Expected Family Contribution to your college costs. This is important to know when creating your college payment plan. Talk to your parents or guardians about this plan and begin researching the college payment options that work best for you and your family.

Spike Lee's Bad 25 will air on ABC Nationwide Thanksgiving Day
Via IndieWire
Following its Venice Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival screenings, Spike Lee's Michael Jackson documentary, made in collaboration with the estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music, titled Bad 25, is already scheduled to air on ABC on Thanksgiving Day, in November.
However, before that, as reported this morning, the feature documentary will be released theatrically for 1 week, beginning October 19, but, unfortunately, only in New York, and Los Angeles.
If you live in the area here is where you can check it out in theaters early.
New York: Oct. 19 to 26 at AMC Loews Theater; 66 Third Ave.
Los Angeles: Oct. 26 to Nov. 2 at Chinese 6 Theaters; 6801 Hollywood Blvd.
The rest of the USA will have to wait about another month, to see it on ABC on Thanksgiving night (November 22).
Bad 25 shares fresh insights into the King of Pop's creative vision that resulted in his landmark Bad album, marking its 25th anniversary this year.
"This will be a very special Thanksgiving for all families to enjoy the genius of Michael Jackson… Big thanks to ABC for allowing people to witness the making of Michael Jackson's 'BAD' album. Shamon," said Spike Lee in a statement.
The film promises rare and never-before-seen footage, and the first ever in-depth, behind-the-scenes film project to chronicle a Michael Jackson album and tour.
Included will be numerous interviews conducted by Spike Lee, including Jackson's confidants, choreographers, musicians and collaborators.
This better be good Spike, you can't fawk around with "The King Of Pop". That said, we will be glued to the TV with "the itis" Thanksgiving night!
Peep the trailer below.

Councillors wanting to cut internal costs to halt borrowing have been told there's not enough time to squeeze more out of the budgets.
At yesterday's meeting most councillors lambasted the idea of borrowing money to keep New Plymouth's rate increases at the lowest amount possible.
New councillors Len Houwers, Gordon Brown and Murray Chong were among many labelling the idea as "crazy" and calling for the council to slash its own expenditure, so borrowing was not necessary.
Mr Houwers said rates should increase by only 2 per cent, and there should be no borrowing to achieve that.
He said savings should be made from the "big budgets".
However, council boss Barbara McKerrow said the idea was unrealistic as nearly $4 million in savings from council expenditure had already been made.
To find another $2.8m before March 4, when the draft annual plan had to be released, was a significant amount to come up with in a short time.
"We have been through this organisation with a fine tooth comb in recent times and to do it again is not going to be quick."
She said while some cost saving measures may be found in the coming weeks the councillors would still have to decide to either borrow money or increase rates.
"Ultimately it will be your call," she said.
Last week the New Plymouth District Council announced it intended to borrow money from its reserves to reduce a forecast rates increase from 6.6 per cent to 2.8 per cent.
The council's perpetual investment fund (PIF) was under-performing and the $16.1m that was forecast to be taken from it had to be reduced to $9.1m.
The $7m difference had been made up with around $4m in savings from council expenditure, corporate savings and a reduction in interest rates.
The remaining $2.8m either had to be footed by the ratepayers, or borrowed internally.
After heated debate the councillors voted to go back to the drawing board and explore various rates options before it meets again in March.
Mayor Andrew Judd said release payments from the PIF needed to reduce over time so the highly criticised fund could have long-term viability.
"But we need to balance that with the community's ability to pay rates and our borrowing levels," he said.
"There could be other options available to us as well, and we'll spend the time between now and March to investigate what is possible."
Councillor Shaun Biesiek said the borrowing proposal was put in place by the previous council and he was as unhappy with it then as he was now.
"We've got to face up to the community and say we can't do this anymore.
"We shouldn't have been doing it anyway," he said.
