Gothamist reports IT'S DONE: San Francisco Giants Take The World Series For Third Time In Five Years
Newser reports Feds Also Track Our Snail Mail
Potential 2016 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee says his Fox News platform is helping him in the crucial primary state of Iowa.
A Huckabee profile from Real Clear Politics (RCP) documents the Fox host's recent trip to Iowa to support Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst. According to reporter Scott Conroy, Huckabee was approached by several "Iowa Republican activists and volunteers" who told the Fox News host that they regularly watch his show.
Huckabee reportedly cited his platform at the network with helping put him in a "very good place to be" as he decides whether to throw his hat in the ring for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, explaining that it has helped increase his visibility and name recognition in Iowa because he has "been in these people's homes every week":
As a driver shuttled him between events, Huckabee told RealClearPolitics that his work on Fox has put him in a "very good place to be" politically as a self-imposed decision date looms in the early spring of next year.
When I came up here eight years ago, nobody knew who I was, he said. I had to spell my name. They didn't recognize me, and that was true all over the country. And now I come back, and I've been in these people's homes every week.
Huckabee isn't the first Fox employee/politician to credit their role at the network with helping their political aspirations. In July, former Fox News contributor turned Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown told Fox News Radio that being on the network "really charged me up" to run for office. When he was running for president in 2012, former Fox News contributor Rick Santorum pointed to his Fox role as having "been big" because it "helped folks remember who I am."
Fox continues to allow its employees to publicly weigh runs for office while remaining on the network payroll. As Conroy points out, Huckabee's Fox News show gives him "hundreds of hours of free advertising that hits some of the most reliable Republican voters," which is "the kind of media exposure that any of the more frequently talked about GOP contenders can only dream of."
During the run-up to the 2012 Republican primary in 2010, Media Matters calculated that Fox News had essentially gifted its five employees that were considering running with roughly $55 million in free advertising. Huckabee was by far the biggest beneficiary, with about $31 million worth of free airtime.
Though Huckabee declined to run in 2012, Conroy reports that "the consensus among many plugged-in conservatives in his orbit is that he is already determined" to enter the 2016 race.
As then-Daily Beast reporter and current Fox News host Howard Kurtz noted during the ethical mess that was the 2012 Fox News Primary, "The longer candidates stay in the Fox camp, the longer they can utilize the platform of the country's top-rated cable news channel–and pad their bank accounts to boot."
Even if he has already decided to run, Huckabee seems well-aware of the tightrope he needs to walk between teasing a run and actually formally declaring one if he wants to keep his Fox News show:
Asked about his decision-making process this time around, Huckabee sounded conflicted.
I've got four grandkids, and I really care what's going to happen to them, he said. If I were to create an exploratory committee or tell people that I'm going to run, obviously, I've just crossed a threshold, and I'm done [at Fox]. So I've got to be very thoughtful about this. I can't do it lightheartedly. I can't put my toe in the water. I jump in the deep end from Day One or I don't do it.
Meanwhile, the network is happy to help him build buzz about a possible run on-air.
Huckabee isn't the only Fox News contributor benefiting from the prominent platform while he ponders a 2016 presidential run. As he continues to make frequent appearances on the network, Fox News contributor Ben Carson has indicated the "likelihood is strong" he plans to run. Fox employee John Bolton is also reportedly considering entering the race.

Fox News is a cult for the conservative misinformed and the radical christian viewer on that channel. The right-wing love this place.
With that in mind, consider the results of the new Pew Research study on "Political Polarization & Media Habits." The year-long research surveyed American news consumers and categorized their relationships to thirty-six sources for news and information about government and politics by political ideology. The differences in the levels of trust exhibited by consistent conservatives and liberals are profound.
The study reveals that conservatives have drastically constrained their access to news to a very few, hard-right outlets. They behave as if any exposure to a conflicting viewpoint would be tantamount to fraternizing with Satan. Consequently, they rely almost solely on Fox News for their information intake. That is how Fox maintains their ratings position, by herding all of the conservative cattle into one corral.
Nearly half (47%) of conservatives identify Fox News as their "main source" for news. Nothing else even comes close. Compare that to liberals who cite CNN as a main source only 15% of the time with a half-dozen other sources closely competing for their attention. What's more, conservatives obediently trust Fox News by a larger margin (88%) than any other group of viewers. And the only other sources they trust more than 50% of the time are similarly far-right partisans: Sean Hannity (62%), Rush Limbaugh (58%), and Glenn Beck (51%). Of course, none of those sources are objective news providers, or even journalists.
While Conservatives have only four sources that they trust more than 50% of the time, liberals express trust for nine different sources at that rate: NPR (72%), PBS (71%), BBC (69%), New York Times (62%), CNN (56%), NBC (56%), MSNBC (52%), ABC (52%), and CBS (51%). Note that they are all (with the exception of MSNBC) generally regarded as legitimate journalistic enterprises. Except, that is, by conservatives who trust none of them. In fact, conservatives only have greater trust than distrust for twelve of the thirty-six sources in the study. So consistent with the cult maxim, conservatives actively distrust twenty-four (two-thirds) of the sources. Liberals flip that stat, having greater trust for twenty-eight of the sources and distrust for only eight.
The mission of Fox News from the beginning was to divide the nation by ideology. It is why they came up with their "fair and balanced" slogan with the implicit accusation that the other news providers were neither. They deliberately sectioned off their audience and told them that everyone else was lying to them. Subsequently, when they lied to their viewers (which they do constantly), there is no place for them to turn for the actual truth. The Fox version of events becomes the unqualified gospel for their audience/disciples despite being riddled with falsehoods and rancid partisanship. And additional proof of that is seen in the studies that show that Fox viewers are less informed than those who watch other media, or even those who watch nothing at all. And the more you watch Fox, the less you know.
The correlations to cult status are unmistakable: Proselytize relentlessly (Fox is #1); repeat/preach the cult's doctrine (anti-Obama, anti-government, Benghazi); reinforce obedience with fear (tyranny, terrorism, Ebola); glorification of idols (Ronald Reagan, Ted Cruz, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin); demonization of competing views (Democrats, the rest of the media); and fabricating a comforting home for faithful followers by casting experienced propagandists and appealing, mostly blonde, presenters as reporters. It's a closed loop society that succeeds by keeping the flock secluded, ignorant, and artificially happy. I just hope they don't start serving Kool-Aide.

County Clerk Bill Knowles, Trustee Bill Hullander and Juvenile Court Clerk Gary Behler will sail into the upcoming election with no opposition.
County Mayor Jim Coppinger is faced with fellow Republican Basil Marceaux Sr. and Independent Richard Ford.
Pam Hurst is seeking a new term as register of deeds, but will have to get by fellow Republicans Ryan Epperson and Paul Parker.
Criminal Court Clerk Gwen Tidwell is opposed by Brian White in the Democratic primary. If she wins there, the next hurdle will be against state Rep. Vince Dean.
With Paula Thompson retiring as Circuit Court clerk, three Republicans are running. They are County Commissioner Larry Henry, Ron Parson of the sheriff's office, and attorney Lisa Bowman.
Chris Harvey of the sheriff's office is running against Sheriff Jim Hammond in the Republican primary.
Eric Lewis had picked up to run against Mr. Knowles, but he said on his Facebook page he decided not to run due to family issues. He said he plans to run in 2018 and "it is without a doubt I would have been able to successfully take the seat of clerk."
He said he wanted to say "job well done" to Mr. Knowles, while calling him a "trailblazer" and a very moral person.
The qualifying deadline was at noon on Thursday.

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

A missing cat was found among the ruins six days after a deadly home explosion in Indianapolis.
The black cat named Gidget had been missing since the Nov. 10 blast that killed two people and destroyed five homes, Indianapolis TV station WRTV reported.
A federal investigator found Gidget behind a couch in the home of her owners, Glenn and Gloria Olvey.
She was scared but otherwise OK, according to The Associated Press.
The Olveys had already recovered their other three pets from the wreckage.
They lived next door to the home that is believed to be the origin of the blast, the AP reported.

I have been working at Blue Bell Creameries part-time (more than an year)Pros
As a warehouse associate, you make over minimum wage and get nice raises once a year plus a good end of year bonus. You are able to set your schedule and Management does an excellent job working around your schedule. Co-workers become friends for life and you become a family with everyone. Opportunity to earn CDLCons
Being located in a distribution warehouse, it becomes tough when there is no communication from the main branch. Policies that are suppose to be in place wont be applied because of fear of loosing accounts. Management will not communicate efficiently, nor will they create part time employee's schedule. You must ask for hours.Advice to ManagementAdvice
My advice to management is better communication and scheduling part time workers more efficiently. A supervisor/manager shouldn't have to ask if a part time worker is going to work on a weekend or on a certain day.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Rios: 'Promiscuous Men' like Obama Behind Abortion Rights
Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas spoke about his role in the anti-choice demonstrations in Austin, Texas, yesterday with the American Family Association's Sandy Rios, who in turn shared with Jeffress the real force behind abortion rights: promiscuous men.
"It is generally, from my opinion, the promiscuous white men who are pushing abortion," Rios said. "I would even say the promiscuous black ones like our president, oh forgive me I shouldn't say that, but they're the ones who want sexual license, they do not want responsibility; abortion has always helped men more than it helps women."
Jeffress predicted that the Supreme Court might take up a new challenge to Roe and claimed that "Roe v. Wade was the Dred Scott decision of our generation."
The megachurch pastor maintained that abortion rights opponents will "buy a little more time for our country before God's judgment" comes to America for decriminalizing abortion, just as God punished Israel and Nazi Germany: "He raised up the Babylonians and the Assyrians to judge Israel for engaging in child sacrifice; he raised up the Allied forces to crush Nazi Germany for taking kids to the gas chambers by the trainloads."

Web Browser Automation is a process where certain steps in the web browser are performed repetitively to ensure the correct operation of the web application's functionality. It may be applied for QA testing in the development process and for control over Information System accessibility and performance during implementation. The second becomes more and more important since current market trends indicate that just having a good service is not enough; the service should also be highly accessible and effective. With Web Browser Automation Tools it is possible to check accessibility and performance by periodically running some transaction scenarios for certain services.
|Supported Browsers

Selenium's different products are compatible, at least partially, with a variety of different browsers, but all of them are fully compatible with Firefox.
To test the tools, we used 45 transaction instances with the same scenario of 7 steps (navigation, clicks, login, logout, etc.). A single transaction execution period was 5 minutes and the overall test duration was 20 minutes. Each tool was tested 2 times: first by running with 1 thread and then with 5 threads. The test results are shown below:
|Num. of tests
|App run duration
|Num. of threads

|Transaction step count
|Num. of tests running during 20 mins
|Avg. exec time for 1 test (sec)
|20 min
|20 min
|20 min

|20 min
As you can see, the test results for Selenium with IE browser are absent. The problem was that the Selenium couldn't run several transaction tests at the same time. Instead of opening several browser instances, it mixes all of them in one browser instance. However, it doesn't have this kind of problem when working with Firefox or Chrome. For example, running the Selenium with the same conditions but on the Firefox browser, the following results were obtained: average execution time of 1 test is 15.1 seconds, the number of tests run during 20 minutes is 50. The average running time of one transaction test for these tools is not greater than that of the others. The other 2 tools spent a substantial amount of overhead time communicating with the server, starting browser instances, etc.
Examining the performance of selected Web Automation Tools shows that they differ not only in terms of functionality, but that they also behave differently in different conditions (depending on OS, browser type, multithread or singlethread). The main limitation we noticed with Selenium is that it's primarily designed for Firefox. All of its products support Firefox, and as we have already seen it has problems working with IE. On the other hand the Casperjs is headless and is Webkit based, so it will not work on IE only sites, for example. Meanwhile, Watij works with only one unique browser type per OS (IE on Windows, Firefox on Linux and Safari on Mac). Working with different transaction scenarios simultaneously is much more productive with the headless tools since they consume less time.

TechCrunch reported that "Berlin-based relayr, maker of the WunderBar, an Internet of Things (IoT) hardware dev kit which resembles a chunky chocolate bar, has closed a $2.3 million seed round, from unnamed U.S. and Switzerland-based investors. The startup had previously raised a €250,000 friend and family round, and had been on track to close a €500,000 seed earlier this year — but received a higher funding offer from a different set of investors, which is the $2.3M round it's reporting."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

The Cleveland City Schools Board of Education took time to hear some criticism over their recent decision to use federal Community Eligibility Provision funds. Local Republican leader, Dr. John Stanbery spoke briefly and passionately about what he sees as a federal overreach and inefficient use of taxpayer dollars. Dr. Stanbery said that the federal contracts attached to the CEP are difficult to understand and being used to push an agenda beyond feeding children.
"I am not here to discuss children who qualify for free and reduced lunch," said Dr. Stanbery. "I am here to discuss children whose families earn much too and subsequently don't qualify for free and reduced lunch. I believe that the program that we are signing up for is the federal government dangling a carrot out in front of us.
"We're going to sign a federal contract with the U.S. government and I think that it will ultimately prove to be bad for the system, bad for the children, and I know it will be bad for the taxpayer. My main concern with this and a lot of people that I've talked to, is that this is just fundamentally wrong. It's the wrong thing to do," said Dr. Stanbery.
Dr. Stanbery augured against that idea that the stigma of being a recipient of a free lunch being much of a concern, "My son currently goes to Walker Valley, nobody knows who pays what at Walker Valley. They have an account system, they walk up they give a number, their food is paid for and nobody knows whether the federal government put money in that account or the adult. So there are ways to keep these kids from being stigmatized without paying for everyone else," said Dr. Stanbery.
Dr. Stanbery continued, stating that he bristled at the school system's statement that no local tax dollars would be used to pay for the program, adding that federal tax dollars are local tax dollars,
"Because unless I missed something, residence of the city of Cleveland pay federal income tax. So this is local taxpayer dollars involved in this," said Dr. Stanbery
Dr. Stanberry said that the U.S. government is $7 trillion in debt and that we are saddling our children with debt that they probably won't be able to pay off in their lifetime. Dr. Stanbery also compared the school systems acceptance of the CEP funds to looting the American taxpayer. Dr. Stanbery also attacked the idea that Cleveland schools could opt out of the program if it does not work for them, by stating that once you have a federal program, that it is almost impossible to get rid of.
"It's an unfunded mandate because you're also signing up for all of Michelle Obama's rules and regulations for the food. Several governors wrote a letter when this bill was fist passed saying that federal funds accompanying it are short term and likely inadequate to fully cover the state costs. A USDA analysis found that the law will spike the cost of food inspection by food service programs by 67 percent," said Dr. Stanberry.
Dr. Stanbery additionally stated that the program will increase the costs of lunches for middle and upper level income families in order to pay for the increase in regulatory costs, and thus causing the public to have to essentially pay twice for the program. Dr. Stanberry also expressed concerns that students may not be able to bring their lunch to school, as the funding for the CEP is tied to the amount of lunches served and lack of participation could cause a loss of funding. Dr. Stanbery also questioned the new nutrition standards, claiming that they actually could hurt nutrition in schools. "Lastly, If Michelle Obama walked into and she asked you to fund this out of your local budgeted money, would any of you vote to do it? And if the answer to that is no, don't you owe the federal tax dollars we pay the same due diligence and the same stewardship," said Dr. Stanbery.
Board member Dr. Murl Dirksen asked what the program is costing the school district. Director of schools Dr. Martin Ringstaff said that it yet to be determined and in a perfect world it would end up costing zero from the current budget, but if they don't hit projections it would cost the school system some money and this is where the one year opt-out comes into play. Board member Steve Morgan asked what the ultimate goal of the CEP is. Dr. Ringstaff responded, saying that as students get older and enter middle and high school they tend not to apply for the free and reduced lunch program, although they do qualify. The goal here is to make sure that kids that do qualify are being fed.
"Do you know how much money we give to Egypt for FMF (Foreign Military Financing) last year, $1.5 billion?" asked Dr. Dirksen. "I think we feed our kids, whether rich or poor. I'm in for kids eating and learning. I think that's responsible."
Board member Richard Shaw spoke on the new nutrition standards stating, that the government is trying to teach our children to eat properly and that it is a good thing. Dr. Stanbery questioned when the government regulation would end, asking the board just how much control over the lives of their children are the willing to turn over to experts in Washington.
Steve Morgan echoing some of Dr. Stansbery's concerns said, "Unfunded mandates are not just a federal issue, but a state issue. Last month we tweaked the wording and verbiage wording of something that we just passed, where they were trying use school lunches of children to pass an agenda."
Dr. Stanbery stated that the program is a waste of money and that it could be made better use of via other channels. Dr. Dirksen argued that one foreign aid package could pay for all American students' lunches, to which Dr. Stanbery said, "Then lobby for that, but don't justify this program which is an expanse of federal control into our lives."
Dr. Stanberry continued to rail against menu choices, stating that he finds it offensive that Michelle Obama's children, who attend private school, have a wider choice of food options, while his son who plays football struggles to get enough calories to support his athletic endeavors. Mr. Morgan added that he doesn't care what the Obama children are eating and stated, "When we're able to feed children that aren't to get fed otherwise, all politics aside, at this point you're going to have to pick another fight."
Board member Peggy Pesterfield said that she has seen hungry children in school and that you can't teach a hungry child. "If we have to feed the 25 percent that can afford it to feed the 75 percent who can't, to me that's worth it."
Ms. Pesterfield also stated, "If we have children that cannot get the food that they need, we need to go ahead and take the year to see how this program works, if it doesn't work we can look at another way to do it."
Bryan Templeton from the Upland Design Group updated the board on the progress on the Raider Dome demolition and suggested a timeline for the beginning of the next phase of the new gym project. Mr. Templeton stated that J&J contractors are about a week behind on the project, but that would not cause a major delay in the overall project, and delays of this type are not abnormal for a project like this. A Motion to approve RFQ (Request for Qualifications) committee of Dr. Ringstaff, Hal Taylor, Melinda Carroll, Peggy Pesterfield, and Dawn Robinson was passed by the board. The purpose the RFQ committee is to narrow down the number of potential bidders for the project by thoroughly vetting each prospective contractor, so that only the most experience and qualified may have the opportunity to bid on the work. Mr. Templeton said that this is the step that needs to be taken before, construction can begin and that will help the school system best determine what contractor or contractors should even be allowed to participate in the competitive bidding process. Board member Dawn Robinson added that this process worked quite well when the district built the science wing at Cleveland High. The board has set a tentative date of Aug. 28, for the beginning of the competitive bidding to begin for the construction of the new gym.
