New Republican Presidential candidate nomination rules made post-2012 election have failed to bring the order and speed craved. The NYTimes reports.» Read More
I had a particular interest in today's page one New York Times story on John McCain because I write for the newspaper in addition to my day job in television. The story created an immediate sensation as soon as it was released electronically, taking over cable TV political shows last night and dominating morning shows on cable and broadcast networks alike.
Senator John McCain presidential ambitions attracted new scrutiny as revealations of his close ties to a lobbyist emerged.
John McCain denied a romantic relationship with a female telecommunications lobbyist on Thursday and said a report by The New York Times suggesting favoritism for her clients is "not true."
John McCain accomplished his goal in Wisconsin's Republican primary, defeating Mike Huckabee across the board, winning among conservatives, and shifting the GOP's focus toward the general election. But Hillary Clinton did not.
Before the polls even opened in Wisconsin on Tuesday, the two Democratic contenders had moved on to campaign in Texas and Ohio, the two next big prizes on the primary calendar.
With big wins in hand, Democrat Barack Obama pointed on Wednesday toward critical showdowns with rival Hillary Clinton next month that could prove decisive in their heavyweight presidential battle.
A "futures market" reading from Rasmussen Reports projects presidential election winners based on "trades" made by the site's users.
I blogged on Monday about the pattern of support that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have attracted in Democratic nomination contests up to now. The key to breaking the deadlock of their close race is breaking that pattern. Has that now happened?
Intrade has done an excellent job of predicting election results over the last few years. But now a little backlash has begun.
Sen. Barack Obama easily won Democratic primaries Virginia and Maryland on Tuesday and reached out for another in the District of Columbia in a determined drive to erase Hillary Rodham Clinton's delegate lead in the party's presidential race.
The Intrade market (www.intrade.com) is predicting that McCain and Obama will sweep today's Potomac primaries. See how the candidates stack up going into today's election...
Senator Barack Obama defeated Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Maine caucuses on Sunday, giving him his fourth victory this weekend as he headed into three more state contests on Tuesday.
On the way to an interview with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, I ran into one of the best-known Republican mavericks, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska. Hagel has figured in discussions of a potential independent candidacy by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg this fall, as a potential running mate for Bloomberg.
In their stump speeches and debates, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama often talk about pushing back against the Washington influence of the powerful pharmaceutical lobby and keeping drug company profits in check.
Mitt Romney's decision to quit the Republican race is terrific news for John McCain. It removes the challenger with both the money and the message to hurt John McCain politically, even if he couldn't win the Republican nomination for himself. An expensively broadcast attack on McCain's conservative credentials is not what the Arizona senator needs right now.
Wall Street sized up its options in a U.S. presidential campaign likely to pit a Republican with a history of breaking party ranks against one of two Democrats seeking change.
The race for the Democratic presidential nomination remains tight after" Super Tuesday," while Sen. John McCain posts decisive results in the Republican race.
All the presidential candidates are running on a platform of bringing change to Washington. But what kind of change will each bring to your wallet?
Maybe it's because the industry is maturing; maybe it's because the executives themselves are maturing; but make no mistake: Silicon Valley is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to the presidential campaign...
As the presidential candidates made their last-minute push before Super Tuesday's contests in more than 20 states, Senators John McCain, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama focused their efforts on the delegate-rich Northeast on Monday, while Mitt Romney set off on a coast-to-coast swing that is to end with an evening appearance in California.

Sales at the 511-store retail chain have grown by an average of 17% a year for the past 10 years, enabling Dick's to claim 8.5% of the hotly contested U.S. market.
Dick's stock (ticker: DKS) has also been a high scorer, rallying more than 60% in the past five years, to a recent $49. The shares could reach $60 in the next 12 months, if Dick's continues to post mid-teens earnings growth.
The retailer is likely to report net income of $323 million, or $2.56 a share, for the fiscal year that ended in January 2013, on revenue of $5.9 billion. It could earn as much as $3 a share in fiscal 2014. "Dick's is a good long-term growth story," says Brian Lazorishak, who bought shares in November for his Chase MidCap Growth fund.
Based in Coraopolis, Pa., Dick's operates primarily in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York. It is the leading U.S. sporting-goods retailer, followed by Foot Locker FL 3.109182935647144% Foot Locker Inc.

Dick's expects to operate 900 stores before reaching saturation, almost double its current store base. Some analysts think the company could open at least 36 new stores this year, which would help power earnings growth. Wall Street's consensus forecast calls for earnings of $2.92 a share in fiscal 2014.
Lazorishak regards Dick's as one of the safest ways to invest in sporting-goods retailing, given the company's diversified merchandise mix, consistent earnings record, and strong balance sheet. Dick's boasted net cash of $272 million, or $2.16 a share, as of the end of October, after accounting for $22 million of debt and lease obligations.
Dick's trades for 17 times fiscal 2014 earnings estimates. That's pricier than Foot Locker's and Finish Line's FINL 1.638504864311316% Finish Line Inc.

The analyst's $60 price target implies a price/earnings ratio of 21 a share, within the company's historic range.
Dick's pays a modest annual dividend of 50 cents a share, for a yield of 1%.
Dick's shares peaked last September at $54.24, amid concern that warmer-than-usual winter weather would crimp sales of outerwear and winter sports equipment. Investors also worried about the future of gun sales, after a Dec. 14 massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., provoked an outcry that could lead to congressional action banning certain types of rifles and ammunition clips.
After the shootings, Dick's announced it would suspend sales of so-called modern sporting rifles temporarily in all its stores. The worries seem misplaced as semi-automatic rifles represent an estimated 1% of total sales, and guns and ammunition in general account for a mid-single-digit percentage of sales. Not surprisingly, Dick's and other retailers, such as Wal-Mart Stores WMT 0.7836045810729355% Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

Dick's officials declined to comment; the company reports fourth-quarter earnings next month.
DICK'S WAS FOUNDED in Binghamton, N.Y., in 1948, by 18-year-old Dick Stack, as a bait-and-tackle shop. Today the retailer is run by his son, Ed Stack, 58, who controls nearly 20% of the company, mostly through super-voting Class B stock. Dick's has grown sharply through the years, sometimes through acquisitions, including the 2004 purchase of Galyan's Trading. A 2007 deal for Golf Galaxy made Dick's the nation's largest golf-products retailer.
The Bottom Line
Dick's has rallied 60%, to $49, in the past five years, but could tack on further gains of 20% or more. The company thinks it could roll out 50% more stores before saturating the country.
The company reports results in three categories. Hardlines, including fitness equipment, comprises 52% of sales; apparel contributes 29%; and footwear, 19%. Dick's target audience includes sports enthusiasts, families, and outdoorsmen. The company's emphasis on in-store boutiques organized by brand further differentiates it from competitors. Moreover, accredited fitness trainers and golf pros are on hand to offer customers' tips.
Standard & Poor's analyst Joseph Agnese rates Dick's Hold, and worries that weak consumer spending on discretionary items will crimp company sales. Longer-term threats include Amazon.com AMZN -1.6201055467394914% Amazon.com Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD533.16 -8.78 -1.6201055467394914% /Date(1444338000156-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4629106 AFTER HOURS USD531.89 -1.26999999999998 -0.23820241578513016% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 47334 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 253470753911.035 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 621733 More quote details and news » (AMZN), as well as Sports Authority, which could regain some of its former muscle. Sports Authority officials weren't available for comment
In the meantime, look for an 8% uptick in sales in the current year, driven by gains in unit growth, same-store sales, and widening profit margins, the result of a continued shift to soft goods, such as apparel, from products such as fitness equipment.
Americans love to participate in sports, and the numbers suggest that Dick's suits their needs. Chances are the original Dick would be awfully proud of that.
Game's On
Dick's controls 8.5% of the U.S. sporting-goods market, versus Foot Locker's 6%. Dick's shares are pricier than competitors', but are supported by fast-rising earnings.

Needless to say, we're living in a world where change is rapid and unpredictable. These conditions require much and endurance.
It is therefore not suprising that we experience moments or seasons of weakness. Demands on our spiritual and physical resurves are high.
So, when thev Word of GOD saya "he that endures to the end, shall be saved," we understand what "endure" means.
This reality is fashioning in us a new level of dependency on our FATHER, GOD. This new level of dependency is what takes through and over all challenges. Join us today at 6:00 AM for live prayer Mon.-Fri. Dial 714.459.3963.
Your Weakness Brings Opportunity For Greatness
in Lifestyle
Have you ever felt like you don't have the strength to go on? We all have from one time to another. Today is Matters of the Heart Monday at Your Blueprint for Life and we're dealing with weakness. Linda will encourage you with biblical insights that will show us that our weakness is an opportunity for God's strength to arise and for our faith to mature.
Did you know that God looks for opportunities to show Himself strong?
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth,
to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. (2 Chronicles 16:9)
Sabbath - The Weakness of The Black and Hispanic Men
in Radio
There is a smell of weakness in the air. The sissifying of Black and Hisapnic men are at an all time high. When will the Children of Israel gather themesleves and be courageous. When will the men start being men instead of gossiping girls. The women don't respect you because you are like them, feminine. Shake yourselves off the dust and stop gossiping like the ladies.
Will bring scripture to encourage strength.
Power In Weakness by Leonard Ravenhill
in Religion
Join us as we hear from the late great Leonard Hill, "Power In Weakness." The Lord says, "Thou worm Jacob...thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small." Ravenhill explores the oddity of a worm, the weakest of all creatures, leveling mountains! Only the meek and lowly can be mightily used of God, whose strength is made perfect in weakness. In the Kingdom of heaven the way up is down! "Blessed are the meek." "He who humbles himself will be exalted." Ravenhill recommends reading Isaiah 40 every day to keep in view the supremacy and all-sufficiency of the Lord.

Strength Perfected In Weakness
in Christianity
We don't like to see or discuss weakness in ourselves let alone see it in others. Our society teaches that it is best to be strong and look as if you have it all together. I'm afraid this kind of thinking has also found its way into the Church. The truth is we need God for his divine strength and protection each day we live. How can He truly work in our lives to break all forms of sin habits as well as those areas of weakness that tend to trip us up on occasion if we don't bring him these vulnarable and broken areas that need His healing touch. And instead of looking strong on the outside, we can be strong in our hearts and minds depending on the awesome power of God instead of relying on ourselves.
Vulnerability: The Myth of Weakness
in Spirituality
Few people realize that vulnerability is 'the door' to knowing ourselves as love. Even fewer understand that it allows us to access our true strength. Tune in this week as Lisa Jones and I discuss how self-protection from vulnerability may actually do more harm than good. Though just having awareness of this is a big step toward freedom, letting go of our defenses is the key to getting there. Usually we're trained to think that to be open and vulnerable is a weakness, but it is actually just the opposite. When we open and surrender to the love within, we have access to the true strength of our Being. Tonight's show encourages that we allow ourselves to feel threatened, if just long enough to see if we actually need to retreat behind our walls. This brief moment of discernment comes with an enlightening truth: if we feel safe on the inside—we are!
The Power of Weakness: The Schemes of Satan
in Lifestyle
"Use your strenth against your weakness"
"And Allah says (4: 76) and fight the schemes of Satan for surely his schemes are weak. And why are they so weak? Because those schemes are dependant upon human weaknesses and if human beings would just use their strength against those schemes, they got the stronger part of themselves against the weaker part. So, all we have to do is come with our strength against our weaknesses. So, ultimately who is the fight between? The fight is between my Muslim position and that in me that threatens that Muslim position. My fight is with myself. And if I bring my strength against my weaknesses, I can overcome."
Imam W. Deen Mohammed "Islam Prophecy & Today's World" Masjid Bilal Cleveland, Ohio February 1, 1998
Today the power of satan is in; intoxicants, gambling, weak religious leaders, falsehood, diversity, lust, perverted sex, separation and divorce, broken family life, cruelty and hate etc. The solution:" Use your strenth against your weakness". Fight the schemes of satan. john nashid

"The union for striking Lufthansa pilots has agreed to suspend the walkout until March 9 and the 4,000 pilots will return to work," the Associated Press reports.
The BBC says the strike, "which had been scheduled to run for four days, was called off after less than 24 hours of delays and cancellations for passengers."
Before agreeing to return to work, though, the pilots' action "grounded hundreds of flights on Monday, causing travel chaos and leaving thousands of passengers around the world stranded," Reuters says.
Next on the horizon for international travelers: The possibility of strikes by cabin crew members of British Airways.

Photo Gallery: Cibolo Creek Ranch
Looking out over the vast Chihuahuan Desert, it is easy to forget you are still in Texas.
The landscape is a scene from an old Western, with rolling hills and dusty mesas more reminiscent of New Mexico. Cibolo Creek Ranch lies 33 miles south of Marfa, in the Big Bend of West Texas, and was founded in 1857 by cattle baron Milton Faver both to safeguard his trade between Mexico and Fort Stockton and to protect his 20,000-plus Longhorn cattle from raids by Comanche and Apache Indians. Three main springs, Cíbolo, Ciénega and Morita, provide the ranch with a constant supply of good water, and Faver constructed an adobe fort at each. Today, the 30,000 acres are home to wildlife such as elk, buffalo, javelinas, aoudad (Barbary sheep) and white-tailed deer."

The IoT market is on track to hit $7.1 trillion in 2020. The reality is that only a handful of companies are ready for this massive demand. There are a lot of barriers, paint points, traps, and hidden roadblocks. How can we deal with these issues and challenges? The paradigm has changed. Old-style ad-hoc trial-and-error ways will certainly lead you to the dead end. What is mandatory is an overarching and adaptive approach to effectively handle the rapid changes and exponential growth.

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

by guest blogger Lisa Bronner, writer of the blog Going Green with a Bronner Mom A battle is raging in the fresh section of your grocery store. Loo...
Agent Orange was primarily manufactured by Dow Chemical and Monsanto, and these two companies are at it again. This time, they've teamed up to unleash a mixture of their chemical herbicides on the American farmland.
To reap the health benefits, I began eating canned sardines packed in olive oil years ago. I eat the contents of a single can nearly every day, but I recently discovered that the nutritional information I thought to be true wasn't accurate at all.
A huge gulf exists in farmer attitudes toward science. Growers clearly accept the scientific evidence that modified food is safe while rejecting the scientific evidence that climate change is real and caused by human activity. And this chasm is driven by simple economics. One finding makes farmers money, but the other doesn't -- yet.
Mainstream reporting lately gives a pass to the pesticide industry that pours millions into lobbying government and media elites and defeating voter ballot initiatives to require labeling of GMO foods.
After removing overstepping authority on recreational, relatively harmless psychoactive drugs, the "in" crowd immediately does an about-face and asks the state to regulate its food. You cannot, if you love freedom and trust the individual, have it both ways.
This decision doesn't just disappoint. It is truly frightening for it vividly demonstrates the powerful grip that a handful of major chemical/biotech companies hold over our regulatory process.
As a new resident, I don't have to right to claim these lands like someone who has loved them for years or was born here. In our short time here, however, this has truly become our "aina" and we have fallen in love with every part of it.
Life is busy, it is complicated. We are bombarded with all these mixed messages about our diet and what's healthy and what's not healthy. But just in case no one has ever told you before... it's okay to once in a while cook food that comes from a box.
The focus of protest has been on energy, and strategically this makes sense. But at some point, we're going to have to rethink the much more fundamental structures that have been with us long before we discovered fossil fuels or even harnessed the power of the wind and the water. We desperately need to rethink agriculture.
Corporate science is, above all else, secretive. The flimsy excuse of "trade secrets" is used to prevent independent or academic scientists from evaluating exaggerated corporate claims.
Setting the record straight, Dr. Ramon J. Seidler, Ph.D., former Senior Scientist, Environmental Protection Agency, has recently published a well-researched article documenting the devastating facts on GMOs, "Pesticide Use on Genetically Engineered Crops."
Not all GM foods are apples modified to be a brighter shade of red.
The east coast organic apples I have seen tended towards the same type of imperfections. I bought a container of the lumpy fruit. It was not as pretty as its commercial cousins but the farmer could legitimately claim no bees died while producing this fruit. And they were delicious.
I sat down with Jim Keyt, Senior Manager of Global Technology Strategy over at Ben and Jerry's to find out just how technology fuels the processes behind your favorite flavors.
To what extent we actually will use GMOs is an open question, but many who have studied the issue agree that GMOs can help produce enough food to feed 9 billion people on our existing agricultural footprint. And we know that GMOs offer answers to some of the problems raised by global climate change.

URBANA, Ill. Fast food restaurants take a lot of heat for the rise in obesity in the United States, but is it really their fault? A research survey conducted by two food economists revealed that most people believe individuals are to blame for their own obesity not restaurants, grocery stores, farmers, or government policies. One implication from this research is that creating and enforcing public policies to help reduce obesity and/or encourage healthier food choices may not be as effective as policy makers would like.
University of Illinois researcher Brenna Ellison explained that she and her colleague, Jayson Lusk at Oklahoma State University, are both interested in the effectiveness of different food policies. However, past research has shown many of the food policies designed to improve food choices, such as requiring calorie information on restaurant menus and taxing sugar-sweetened beverages, do not always produce the intended results. This leads one to question: Why aren't these policies working? Why aren't consumers responding to increased soda prices or calorie information on menus?
"Obesity is in the news every day so it would be hard to say that people are unaware of the policy initiatives in place to reduce U.S. obesity rates," Ellison said. "Based on our study results, the more likely conclusion is that consumers' beliefs about who is to blame for obesity don't necessarily align with the beliefs of policy makers and public health advocates. In the United States, we're known for being an individualistic-based society, so it's not exceptionally surprising that we would put this responsibility for obesity on ourselves."
"Who is to blame for the rise in obesity?" was published in a recent issue of Appetite.
An online survey was administered by Clear Voice Research whose registry of panelists is representative of the U.S. population in terms of socioeconomic characteristics, gender, and region. Of the m

Hornets head home with hollow feeling
Updated: March 18, 2009, 7:08 AM ETBy Brian Bennett | ESPN.com
DAYTON, Ohio -- Long after his basketball career ends, at least Alabama State forward Wesley Jones can say he played in the NCAA tournament.
Well, he could say that and be entirely accurate. But that's not the way he'll remember it.
Jones and his teammates lost to Morehead State 58-43 in the NCAA's opening-round game at University of Dayton Arena. They thus became uniquely qualified to answer a twist on the old conundrum: If a team falls on a Tuesday in the bracket, did it ever ...

Just stayed one night in this hotel, very clean, 20 minutes from DC. Being a rewards member I recieved a pack of crackers and a bottle of water upon arrival, which was very much appreciated after a long drive. Breakfast was nice, it included scrambled eggs and sausage, plus make your self waffles. The only thing I have to say negative about this hotel was the house keeper opened the door with her key without knocking first or asking if we were still occupying the room, which we were. We still had an hour and 1/2 before check out. I thought that was very unprofessional. The hotel was lovely, very much up to date. I would recommend this hotel.

I am a bit of a health nut; I walk several miles three times a week on Moore Road in Suwanee.
I am also proud of my neighborhood and carry a trash bag and pick up the litter that other
inconsiderate people toss out along the way. I wish people would act more responsibly.
However, my vent is about those so-called neighbors who walk their dogs along Moore Road and leave their doggies "presents" along the sidewalk. I am hoping there is a special place in Hades for those weird people who actually clean up after their pets and then leave the plastic bag alongside the sidewalk.
If you are old enough to have a pet, then be responsible enough to take care of their mess.
Eddie Prince, Suwanee

Working Class : Season 1
- Network: CMT , CMT - Country Music Television
- Series Premiere Date: Jan 28, 2011
- Starring: Patrick Fabian, Edward Asner, Melissa Peterman
- Summary: CMT's first sitcom follows the life of Carli Mitchell (Melissa Peterman), who tries to give her three kids a better life by moving to the suburbs.
- Genre(s): Comedy
- Creator: Jill Cargerman
- Season 1 premiere date: Jan 28, 2011
- Episode Length: 30
- Air Time: 08:00 PM
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 6
Mixed: 4 out of 6
Negative: 2 out of 6
Working Class doesn't seem to have any lofty ambitions. It's a family drama with characters who are a little goofy, but credible, and it seems to recognize that their interaction needs to be the core of the show's humor.
This is only an average situation comedy, but even the great ones have worn that makeup.
You'll likely guess every development at least a minute or two beforehand. But Peterman's enthusiasm for her role is tangibly contagious, making it possible that a decent percentage of opening night viewers might RSVP in the affirmative to this show's overall "Ya'll come back, ya hear" motif.
There's nothing obnoxious about the show; it's just bland.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the new gold-standard in action role-playing games. If you enjoy fantasy adventures or even just open world games with awesome storylines, The Witcher 3 is definitely worth owning. The game is vast in areas to explore, has some incredible graphic fidelity, entertains with great character acting and entrancing background music, is highly customizable and unique to each player, and… well, the list goes on and on as to why I highly recommend The Witcher 3. Too vast to capture on video, I decided to share my adventures through the screenshots I took during my complete playthrough of The Witcher 3. Click the link below to flip through over 100 screens and please read the brief captions for a little explanation and details on The Witcher 3. For those of you looking for a quick number, 5 out 5, 10 out of 10 – yes, yes, it is excellent and gaming perfection. Ok, so there are minor things you can point out in the game but the great far outweighs the minor things you may come across. The Witcher 3 is a true labor of love. Don't let the "3" in the game turn you away either. There is plenty of story and back story to take in. No prior Witcher game experiences are required to enjoy the adventure. See and read more below for a review of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt!
Flip through the screen by screen review here (no spoilers!).
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC. DO IT!
