Free speech aside, if a movie star can sue a publication for false statements, and win, then why not a politician? Many statements about politicians are merely a points of view. However, if a politician were accused of a crime they didn't commit, say selling drugs, and were accused of such with no evidence that would hold up in court, then it would seem that the liable, slander laws should be in play. Why would a politican not have such protection when even movie stars and other public figures have them?

I don't feel you should be able to lie about your competitor just to get votes. Myself as well as many others, really do want to elect the person that we feel would represent us best, but it's really hard to know because both sides always lie!

It will be interesting to see how the court rules.
I find it funny that the quotes the Cato Institute in the brief ridiculing the law would use quotes FROM candidates rather than untruths ABOUT candidates - and the quote from Nixon was not when he was a candidate. Their quotes were totally out of place and missed the point.
If truth were required in talking about your opponents, the dems will need to re-tool their entire campaign strategy and the MSM will need to reqork their entire business model.
Too bad there is so much dishonesty that the law was even enacted.

Contracts made in the U.S. are supposed to be the TRUTH, say for instance with
loans made and the exact numbers to protect the consumer.
What is the difference here? The ACA should be voided when it was based on fraudulent information to veil the TRUTH. We have been silent on the injustice of this too long. Something needs to be done, and soon.
Politicians should be held to a standard of truth. Untruths are damaging and unnecessary. Freedom of speech is not warranted when lies slander, and defamation of character is evident.
Too much of that is acceptable these days, and needs to be corrected.

If the SCOTUS makes it illegal for politicians to lie then what will Democrats do to win elections? Remember the lies they told about Romney, ACA, IRS abuses, fast and furious, Benghazi, NSA, the second amendment, etc., etc., etc.

I agree, but let's face it. Lies have been told about Democrats too. I think it should be illegal to lie about anybody. If that were the case, I do believe people like Romney would come out best though, so it does make one wonder if Democrats would want this law, as it would take away one of their best political tools to beat Republicans.

@Mountainman: On August 18, 2000, journalist Jane Akre won $425,000 in a court
ruling where she charged she was pressured by Fox News management and lawyers to
air what she knew and documented to be false information.
In February 2003, Fox appealed the decision and an appellate court and had it overturned. Fox lawyers argued it was their first amendment right to report false information. In a six-page written decision, the Court of Appeals decided the FCC's position against news distortion is only a "policy," not a "law, rule, or regulation."

The Democrats would come out ahead if a law banned false statements about
opposition candidates.
After all, much of what Republicans believe is completely false, and lies about Democrats are accepted as gospel.
If Republicans were compelled to not lie about Democrats, they would lose their very reason for being.
There is no way a Right-leaning supreme court would pass a law that robs Republicans of their primary weapon.

thank you for the documentation. now will you also tell us about how NBC news lied in their report about Chevy trucks blowing up (maybe it was Ford, I don't exactly remember)? remember how they had to publicly apologize on air for their lies and distortions, how they had to admit what they did to get the truck to blow up with a side collision because they could not get to explode with just impact as they accused? I am not trying to excuse Fox, but NBC is much worse.
where is there a right-leaning supreme court? we certainly do not have one here. Certainly not the SCOTUS

I don't like this idea. While it would be great to have politicians tell
the truth, this law is nothing more than a tool to eliminate your competitor.
It wouldn't be hard to dig up a few tidbits on your opponent and get them
arrested and tossed out.
To "GaryO" actually, we would lose the most liberal politicians.
For example Harry Reid claimed that Romney had not filed taxes for years. The facts were already out there showing that he had.
Obama claimed that he called Benghazi a terrorist act only a few days after it occured. The transcripts state otherwise. Obama claimed that Romney was an elitist, yet when you look into Romney's character he was more grounded with the middleclass than Obama could ever hope to be.
The point I am making is that the most powerful liberals would be thrown in jail, and we would have to build new jails just to house them.

We really enjoyed the addition of toasted pine nuts and raisins for a very nice savory flavor. It was a great side dish with baked tilapia.
I make this rice using cashewnuts as a substitute for pine nuts because my family isn't too big on the latter nor am I;) Also, I use 1/2 cup more of water. This is a wonderful rice, very tasty and such a savory delight!

Dear Readers: What is the difference between a disinfectant and a sanitizer? There are a lot of products out today that advertise these properties.
Here's the germy difference: A disinfectant destroys or kills germs on surfaces or objects.
A sanitizer reduces the number of germs on a surface or object to a safe level (according to public health standards), but does not necessarily eliminate germs completely.
Looking for a simple, safe, cheap sanitizing spray that you can make at home? Mix 1 tablespoon of regular household bleach with 1 quart of water. Oh, be sure to put this solution in a CLEARLY labeled, opaque bottle, and keep out of reach of children and pets. This is safe for most hard household surfaces, like kitchen and bath counters. — Heloise
Dear Heloise: Here is a handy (and frugal) hint for your readers who hate throwing away used sandwich bags. After lunch, I bring the bag home. Then, if it is still in good repair, I wash with a little warm water and dish soap and put it in the drying rack. The next day, I use the bag again. I save money and feel like I'm helping the environment at the same time. — Eric M., via email
Dear Heloise: I purchase extra-large containers of shampoo and conditioner from the hair salon. They are quality products and too good a bargain to pass up. But I couldn't lift them in the shower, much less pour out the amount needed, especially when my hands are wet and soapy.
I found a packet of two containers that were just the right size. One was red and one yellow. They are standard-size mustard and ketchup containers! I just snipped the tops a little so the liquid would pour easily. Also, I used a permanent marker to mark them. — Carol M. in Pennsylvania
Dear Heloise: When removing nail polish, I use a cotton swab to remove the polish from around my cuticles. To prevent losing the cotton swab in the bottle, I pour a little remover in the cap and then dip the cotton swab in it. — K.W. in Oregon
Dear Heloise: After finishing a large jigsaw puzzle, before breaking it up to put in the box, I take off the straight-edge pieces and put them in a plastic bag. It is so nice, when deciding to put the puzzle together again, not to have to wade through 1,000 or 500 pieces to find the straight edges and get started on the picture! — Marion W. in Florida

Prosecutors could have scaled down their case against Brian Nichols without compromising it, said Hilton Fuller, a retired state Superior Court judge from suburban Atlanta.
The trial should be used to shine a light on how the prosecution's case affects the cost of an adequate defense in death penalty cases, Mr. Fuller told an American Bar Association panel on capital cases.
"There's a relationship between what the prosecution spends and what the defense needs," Mr. Fuller said.
Prosecutors presented a 54-count indictment, including four murders, for crimes that took place at 13 separate crime scenes, and they identified 487 witnesses, Mr. Fuller said.
Defense lawyers have an obligation to investigate what those witnesses would say at trial, Mr. Fuller said.
But when state money to the defense team was cut off amid controversy over its $1.8 million bill and a state budget crunch, "that investigation simply is not going to happen," Mr. Fuller said. "Prosecutors could have proceeded with one or two counts. Ten witnesses could prove that case."
Mr. Fuller suspended the trial when the money was cut off. He was criticized by state lawmakers and others for his handling of the case. He stepped down in January after he was quoted in The New Yorker magazine saying "everyone in the world knows he did it."
State lawmakers approved new measures this year to ban senior judges such as Mr. Fuller -- who do not face re-election -- from hearing death penalty cases. They also tightened the public defender system's budget.
Mr. Fuller said political pressure in a capital case is intense and rarely works in a defendant's favor. Yet judges have to ensure a fair proceeding, no matter how unpopular, he said.
"I was doing my job and I would do the same things again," he said.
Mr. Nichols is charged with killing four people March 11, 2005, in a spree that began at the county courthouse in downtown Atlanta.

Alabama will hit the road this weekend, visiting Penn State for a huge non-conference showdown. And, the Crimson Tide will head north with one of the nation's premier defenses in tow.
The Tide "D" shut down Kent State in the opener last Saturday, holding the Golden Flashes to 90 total yards, including -9 yards rushing. And, Tide players are looking for a similar effort against the Nittany Lions this weekend.
"We had a great chance of showing what we were going to do this year last week," sophomore linebacker C.J. Mosley said. "Now, we're going to have our true first test going into Penn State. Loud stadium, high expectations for both teams, so this is a great chance for the defense to show what we're made of."
While the defense played well. the team believes it has plenty of room to improve.
"We only had one turnover, and I think our turnover area is where we need to work on and focus on for this game," junior safety Robert Lester said. "If you cause a turnover, it can change the whole game around."
Alabama will visit Penn State at 2:30 on Saturday on ABC.

According to The Pulse Of Radio, Avicii is hitting up the rock world for collaborations on his upcoming album. The DJ is recording tracks with SYSTEM OF A DOWN's Serj Tankian, GREEN DAY's Billie Joe Armstrong, and INCUBUS' Mike Einziger.Einzinger, who worked on Avicii's last album as well, recently recalled their first meeting with DancingAstronaut.com saying, "We spoke for a few hours and made a plan to write songs together and the very first thing that happened when we worked together is we wrote 'Wake Me Up'. That was our first attempt at writing music together, which is crazy looking back at it. He's someone who's very opinionated and knows what they like and don't like, and that's really important, a good thing right off the bat. We wrote a few new songs together. We did one together with Billie Joe of GREEN DAY. That one's really exciting. We did a few with AlunaGeorge, some stuff with Wyclef Jean and Matisyahu." Rolling Stone is reporting that the song with Billie Joe is called "No Pleasing a Woman". The magazine also revealed that Avicii has also recorded with COLDPLAY's Chris Martin and Jon Bon Jovi for the new project.

CNN cited the American Immigration Council's recent report ...
Entrepreneurship and Innovation Newsletter - October 21, 2013
Submitted by aic_admin on Fri, Nov 01, 2013
Read our previous Entrepreneurship and Innovation Newsletters
Latest Research
- From preserving manufacturing to strengthening the housing market, immigration is important for the revival of American cities. A recent post highlights a new report from the Americas Society/Council of the Americas and Partnership for a New American Economy that "looks at how immigration helps revitalize communities across the United States through the creation or preservation of manufacturing jobs, the increase in housing wealth, and heightened civic engagement. The data show that immigrants play an outsize role in the preservation or creation of U.S. jobs—an important measure of community vitality—and make a particularly important impact on the manufacturing sector."
- Immigrant business owners continue to contribute to communities across America. An October 8 post highlights six new state fact sheets for Georgia, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, and Washington, as part of the Immigration Policy Center's (IPC) series on immigrant entrepreneurs, innovation, and local welcoming initiatives. With these latest additions, there are now 26 state fact sheets available in this series (with more on the way). These new state fact sheets shine a spotlight on the importance of entrepreneurship and innovation to local economies, and ways in which local leaders recognize this importance and encourage an inclusive environment through local welcoming and integration initiative.
- District-by-district profiles highlight congressional district immigrant population. On October 2, the IPC released 10 new district-by-district profiles which provide data on the immigrant population living in a given congressional district. We now have over 90 district profiles available. In particular, these fact sheets highlight age range, levels of education, English language proficiency, duration of residence in the U.S. and industries employed in.
- What do we know about skilled migration and development? A new policy brief from the Migration Policy Institute explores recent research and policy challenging the traditional idea that skilled migration leads to a "brain drain" from origin countries. Clemens states, "Countries of origin and destination can in fact benefit from skilled migration when it is correctly structured. Conversely, policy efforts to curb the emigration of skilled nationals may have unintended costs for origin countries, in addition to being ethically problematic."
- Regarding immigration reform, the cost of doing nothing is high. A September 23 post highlights a new IPC report on the dollars, lives, and opportunities lost in the wait for immigration reform. Since the last major overhaul of the U.S. immigration system in 1986, the federal government has spent an estimated $186.8 billion on immigration enforcement with diminishing returns. Congress is entrusted with passing laws that matter. Further delay on immigration reform, especially when there is broad public support for reform, wastes not just time, but money and lives as well.
- Access to banking and finance is an important issue for immigrants and economic inclusion. Why is access to banking an important issue for immigrants? It leads to increased opportunities from taking out a loan to cover the cost of updating credentials to using a bank account to pay everyday bills. A new Cities of Migration report shows that solutions are already on the ground. Good Ideas on Economic Inclusion: Access to Banking is the first report in a series that examines issues related to the economic integration of immigrants in neighborhoods, main streets and workplaces of today's cities. Future reports in the Economic Inclusion series will showcase smart practices that promote access to employment as well as entrepreneurial success.
News Updates
- Economists and academics highlight the economic imperative for immigration reform at Microsoft event. On October 1, at a Microsoft conversation on immigration, held at the Microsoft Innovation and Policy Center in Washington, D.C., focused on the economic imperative for immigration reform. Economists from across the political spectrum have clearly documented through their research that immigration reform will raise our national GDP, create jobs, promote innovation, and create long-term solutions for the issues this country faces in the global economy.
- Hundreds of higher education leaders call for immigration reform. In recent letters to their respective Congressional delegations, which a recent post recaps, leaders from more than 100 colleges and universities across the country urged their representatives in Washington to support sensible immigration reform. The nation's institutions of higher education have long been magnets for bright, young minds from around the world. But the country's broken immigration system has sent some of the most promising young talent home following graduation, and made it harder for colleges and universities to attract and retain foreign-born faculty members. These letters build on a previous letter of support from more than 600 faculty members from around the country supporting immigration reform.
- Local groups are leading the way to welcome immigrants in their cities. September 15-22 was National Welcoming Week, a series of hundreds of events across the country planned by Welcoming America and its state and local affiliates to highlight ways in which places encourage newcomers' integration into their communities. Additionally, on September 19, the White House recognized this leadership and honored several local leaders as Champions of Change, which a recent post describes, for "helping immigrants integrate civically, linguistically and socially into the fabric of their neighborhoods – and our nation."
- Michigan groups spotlight local immigrant integration initiatives during National Welcoming Week. Welcoming Michigan and Global Detroit are two Michigan-based organizations working to revitalize Michigan's economy by pursuing strategies that make the region more attractive and welcoming to immigrants. State Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Steve Tobocman, Director of Global Detroit, said that "Michigan is particularly poised to benefit from creating a more welcoming atmosphere for immigrants…There is growing recognition that welcoming new Michiganians is both smart economic development policy and the hospitable, Michigan thing to do."
- St. Louis Mosaic Project works to create an atmosphere that welcomes and encourages immigrants and entrepreneurs. A September 16 article describes a new trend in St. Louis. Posters on metro buses and trains in St. Louis will now welcome passengers to the city in 17 different languages, one of the many initiatives begun by the St. Louis Mosaic Project to create an atmosphere that welcomes and encourages immigrants to the area. "The Mosaic Project says a lot about where our region is going," St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley said. "We want to be more diverse and see things from different points of view."
- Immigration reform is vital to bioscience industry and research. A September 16 opinion piece from the executive director of BioForward in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel describes Wisconsin's bioscience industry, which supports nearly 30,000 jobs in the state and adds $7 billion to the state economy.
- Hispanic-owned businesses nearly doubled over the last decade, a rate more than twice the average for national business growth. A new study from the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with Geoscape analyzed Census stats to project that the count of Hispanic-owned businesses in the country rose to 3.2 million up from 1.7 million in 2002. The business trend reflects the spike in the country's Latino population, now up to 53 million. The study showed Latino businesses grew on average at nearly 7 percent annually from 2007 to 2013, compared to the average 3 percent overall business growth rate.

Fox news host smacks down Roves false claims about Obama's response to BP oil diaster
In a Fox News interview with Karl Rove Thursday, host Jane Skinner noted that many in the media (and on the right) claim that the oil rig explosion in the Gulf is President Obama's "Katrina." Rove said he "wouldn't compare this to Katrina," but he then ran through a timeline of the events as if to accuse the White House of having a delayed response to the disaster. However, Skinner didn't buy it, noting that the White House was involved from the beginning:
SKINNER: Before we get too far in this time line, I just want to read because the press secretary Robert Gibbs has been asked so many questions about this and this was his response, "The morning after the Secretary "" the Interior Secretary deployed his deputy to the region to coordinate it all and on the 22nd when it sank, the national response team was activated and later that day the President convened a meeting in the Oval Office with all those involved."
I mean at some point in the beginning they were relying also on the oil company BP, this was a disaster that people didn't have a lot of information about, it's all happening a mile under water.
Rove then complained that the Interior Department Secretary's chief of staff went on a work vacation after the oil spill, suggesting that it was somehow indicative of a hands-off approach from the Obama administration. Skinner promptly knocked this argument down as well:
SKINNER: Karl I know a lot of people are making a big issue about that but, first of all, he's not the Interior Secretary, he's not the Deputy Interior Secretary, those are the bosses of the department. He's a chief of staff. You know, I know well what the job of a chief of staff is. "¦ It's not like the country, the Interior Department can't run without the chief of staff.
A flustered Rove claimed the White House is "trying to rewrite history and say 'we were engaged right from the beginning.' No they weren't!" "I just want to point out again is they do say they had the Deputy Interior secreteary down there, that he was the one that was actually in charge, tasked with organizing this," Skinner replied. Watch it:
Similar to Rove, other conservatives are trying pin blame on the administration or to make the spill response "Obama's Katrina." "I think the parallels to Katrina are very real," Newt Gingrich said yesterday. Today, MSNBC host and former GOP congressman Joe Scarborough called such a comparison "absolutely obscene," adding that "anybody that draws that analogy is an idiot."
Many on the right aren't buying the delayed response argument either. Charles Krauthammer, the Weekly Standard's Steve Hayes, and even Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-MN) have all noted that the Obama administration responded appropriately to the Gulf oil spill. "What could [Obama] have done? "¦ This is insane," Fox News' Bill O'Reilly said of the administration's critics.
This is a Think Progress repost by Ben Armbruster.
10 Responses to Fox news host smacks down Roves false claims about Obama's response to BP oil diaster
A little good news from the media, maybe they will start to question more of the right-wing spin machine.
Amazing! Watching Fox News actually doing their job is surprising. Normally, you would expect to see Rove dictating the discussion. I think he was surprised that he didn't have his normal Fox News soft pitch interviewer.
Well, she's doomed.
Fox has no place for a reporter who can think for herself.
Rove rules at Fox and any reporter who challenges him, and tries to get to the TRUTH for a change, will be put on Rupert's back burner.
There were far more errors in Rove's statements than exposed… practically everything he said was a lie. The Coast Guard had a helicopter on the scene in an hour, and considering the site is over 80 miles from the nearest launch location, that is impressive. Coast Guard had people on the workboat with the survivors that night, and interviewed the survivors before the workboat landed the next morning. The response team in the Interior Department was mobilized within 24 hours. The statements about the sheen being due to fuel on the rig came from BP, and the government repeated the statement from the company; the assessment of the blowout was still underway by the MMS. The blowout fed a fire for several days, which was burning off the oil and gas, then the rig sank, the riser piled up, and the underwater "spill" began. Rove implies in his statement that the high spill rate started on Day 1. The rate was uncertain even after the rig sank and riser broke, and the spill rate could not determined for at least 4-5 days… He confuses gallons with barrels… and on and on, one lie after another. What a jerk!
Karl Rove has a doctored timeline of nonsense put together… this interview is as disgusting a piece of Rovespeak as anything. What a pathetic man this political operative turned out to be, when his full character is revealed, as this interview shows. I am disgusted that for eight years this person had the power (though his invention and creation of George W. Bush) to run America.
It's interesting that so many right wing people are trying to make this into Obama's Katrina moment, since as far as I know they've never done anything but deny that Katrina was Bush's Katrina moment. Have they ever apologized for their uncaring attitude, or made any attempt to do more in the years since to actually help people there in a reasonable way or amount? Have they ever admitted that it was an example of disaster capitalism, a la Naomi Klein? Have they, in the intervening years, given any sign that the philosophy and attitude that cause Bush's Katrina moment has changed?
But disregarding initial response time, the line between corporate Republican rule and corporate Democratic rule is looking pretty thin. I don't hear much coming out of the White House or Congress about how we need to stop drilling, start using solar and wind in massive amounts as soon as we can… etc. Coal sludge lake disasters, coal mine disasters, oil blowouts… signs of climate catastrophe everywhere… how many such signs do we need before our corporate-government complex realizes that long-term profits will be better if civilization is not destroyed? And how can we help them figure it out soon?
I agree with Ted, they don't like actual reporters at Fox.
Good thing she interviewed him instead of Beck or Hannity. Otherwise they both would have been frothing at the mouth.
Isn't this a weird argument for these guys to make? We don't want big government, hate the words "I'm from the government and I'm here help", etc. … BUT it's the government's fault this spill thing got so bad.
Given that the last I heard was that over 1800 bodies had been recovered since Katrina, and that about 6,600 people are still missing, unaccounted for, claiming an equivalence with 11 dead and an appalling oil slick seem tendentious. Not to mention that seeking political gain via such claims is grossly disrespectful of Katrina's victims and blatantly callous of their kins' feelings.
Its intriguing that a Fox employee should publicly embarrass a ranking filth like Rove – do the owners have something against using the rig's disaster as a political football ? If the disaster became a higher profile partisan issue, might oil sales become more of a target for replacement ?
On the other hand, maybe the reporter is just fed up with the lies and wants a fat redundancy cheque. If so, good luck to her.
Journalism at Fox? Cannot process… cognitive dissonance off scale…
Completely agree that it's breathtaking that Big Government is the villain up until the (unpleasant material) hits the fan, and then it's all Big Governments fault for not being Big enough! (At least it is if it's the Democrats in office – if it's the Republicans Big Gov's job is to cover up and then pay for the whole thing; 'privatize the profits, socialize the losses.')
Wow. It's more than a little scary to me when Bill O'Reilly is the voice of reason.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Plantar Fasciitis
Topic Overview
No single treatment works best for everyone with plantar fasciitis. But there are many things you can try to help your foot get better:
- Give your feet a rest. Cut back on activities that make your foot hurt. Try not to walk or run on hard surfaces.
- To reduce pain and swelling, try putting ice on your heel. Or take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (such as Aleve).
- Do toe stretches , calf stretches and towel stretches several times a day, especially when you first get up in the morning. (For towel stretches, you pull on both ends of a rolled towel that you place under the ball of your foot.)
- Get a new pair of shoes. Pick shoes with good arch support and a cushioned sole. Or try heel cups or shoe inserts (orthotics ). Use them in both shoes, even if only one foot hurts.
If these treatments do not help, your doctor may recommend splints that you wear at night, shots of medicine (such as a steroid) in your heel, or other treatments. You probably will not need surgery. Doctors only suggest it for people who still have pain after trying other treatments for 6 to 12 months.
Plantar fasciitis most often occurs because of injuries that have happened over time. With treatment, you will have less pain within a few weeks. But it may take time for the pain to go away completely. It may take a few months to a year.
Stay with your treatment. If you don't, you may have constant pain when you stand or walk. The sooner you start treatment, the sooner your feet will stop hurting.

Three Prem clubs poised to move for Benzema: United, Chelsea and Arsenal have all been alerted to Karim Benzema's availability in January after Spanish giants Real Madrid told the player's representatives to find him another club, reports the Sunday People. Madrid will look to recoup around £17 million of the £25m they gave Lyon for Benzema four years ago with all three Premier League clubs in need of an additional frontline forward.
Paper Round's view: £17m is a realistic amount of money for Real to attempt to recoup given that Benzema remains one of the hottest properties around when he is fit and firing. United and Arsenal have previously been linked with the Frenchman and Chelsea too are in dire need of a top forward to supply goals and a cutting edge. Benzema will leave Real and all three clubs are possible destinations.
- - -
United to offer Valencia plus a lot of cash for Baines: Manchester United will offer Everton £15m plus Antonio Valencia in the January transfer window in a fresh attempt to sign Leighton Baines, reports the Daily Mail. With the England defender so far stalling on Everton's attempts to get him to sign a new contract, Moyes is keen to try again after failing with a joint £36m bid for him and Marouane Fellaini in the summer.
Paper Round's view: More often than not 'player stalls on new deal' just means they are holding out for more money, but in Baines's case he surely sees that a move to United is there for the taking come January. Given Patrice Evra's inauspicious performances so far this season, Moyes knows that the Everton left-back is a signing he simply must make at the next possible opportunity.
- - -
Real Madrid to move for Aguero in January: Real Madrid are to make a January bid for Sergio Aguero. The Manchester City striker was identified as the Spanish club's prime target at the start of the summer, ahead of Gareth Bale, who was bought for a world record £85.3m, according to a report in the Observer. Real look set to firm up their interest for Aguero in the January transfer window with an offer expected to be markedly more than the £38m he cost City two years ago.
Paper Round's view: While it is entirely plausible that Real would make a move for Aguero in January to bolster their attacking options - particularly with Benzema looking set to finally depart - the City forward appears to be genuinely settled and happy. Plus the fact that he hardly needs to move to ensure that he gets paid what he believes he is due. Aguero is key to Manuel Pellegrini's plans and Real may, in this case, prefer a cheaper option.
- - -
PSG to launch £35m bid for Chelsea's Mata: Paris Saint-Germain are ready to swoop for Chelsea playmaker Juan Mata in January after failing to land the unsettled Spaniard in the summer, report the Sunday People. The French champions have made Mata a transfer priority once the window re-opens, with wealthy president Nasser Al-Khelaifi sanctioning a £35m move.
Paper Round's view: Speculation will continue to mount regarding Mata's seemingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge, but the reality is that Jose Mourinho is simply using him to make a few points on his return. There are already signs that the playmaker is fitting into the mould Mourinho has demanded of him and he could yet flourish for the Blues this season after a frustrating start. Any potential move for Mata would likely only happen in the summer.

Yuma restaurant's burritos named among best in U.S.
Only one Arizona restaurant made dailymeal.com's list of having the best burritos in America.
"Oh, it feels awesome!" said Mary Lou Huff co-owner of the Chile Pepper restaurant in Yuma, Arizona. "We're up there with Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco. I mean, we're talking big cities and here we are in Yuma, Arizona."
The website selected the restaurant's bean and cheese burrito as a favorite among editors. Their description reads, "At the Chile Pepper, it is not about the girth of the burrito or all the extras but the exquisite execution of simplicity. Locals rave over the simplest of burritos here — bean and cheese — where the fresh tortillas and hot sauce make it go from simple to excellent."
Huff said Chile Pepper is a family tradition, first started by her parents 50 years ago.
"You don't compromise on the quality of food," she said, adding that the key to success is using fresh ingredients everyday.

VAN NUYS, CA — Fashion photographer turned porn artist Jonni Darkko has an extreme fetish for women both beautiful and slutty and the image comes together when a model's glamorous make-up gets wrecked by loads of thick, dripping sperm. Darkko's double-disc Facial Overload 2: MILF Edition, from Evil Angel, matches the director's cum facial fixation with 11 gorgeous thirtysomething mamas.
Released last month and heralded among fans of Darkko, the movie stars a medley of MILF beauties — including legendary Tiffany Mynx and fan favorites Lisa Ann, Rebecca Bardoux, Eva Angelina and Inari Vachs — plus copious cum producer Winston Burbank.
"Fans are very important to me, so this movie was made for them," says Darkko. "They wanted to see Winston Burbank with the hottest MILFs in the business, so we assembled a great cast and let the cum start flying!"
"Whenever Jonni brings two of his favorite niches together, MILF and oral, you know it's going to be a hard title to keep in stock," says Justin Rich, Domestic Sales Manager for Evil Angel.
"Jonni delivers the goods for real fans of MILFs and facial cum shots," says Evil Angel General Manager, Christian Mann. "Throw in some other great niche stuff like sexy glasses (Eva Angelina), big tits (Tiffany Mynx and Lisa Ann), deep throat (Veronica Avluv and Inari Vachs), then give 'em almost five hours' worth, and the result is another multi-niche winner that will sell well for our DVD and VOD partners."

Just bought my second pair....like a good pair of Frye boots, these feel better and better the more you wear them, until they are almost like a slipper. Never had such comfort in a supportive boot. Very flexible, too, which eliminates the need for a "scrambling" shoe or boot if you want to take off on a downhill jog in these.
Cute for the right person just much to informal for me to use at work.
I usually wear sizes 7.5-8 in most shoes, except in Birkenstock sandals I wear 37 (6-6.5). My feet are 3 and 3/8" at their widest point. Regular width fits wells, narrow width is too narrow. These sandals are extremely comfortable and durable. My arches are on the higher side of normal and I can walk around in these sandals all day without discomfort, whether in the park, touristing in other countries, or just running errands. Even if my feet sweat, they never smell. Would not recommend getting the soles wet though.
I usually wear size 7.5-8, but size 37 (6-6.5) fits me in Birkenstocks. I ordered both narrow and regular widths to try them out - returning the narrow width. I must have average feet.
I have been searching for a pair of these in my size for a LONG time! Was so happy when they arrived. So comfy after a little wearing in and so, so pretty!
I was worried about the size I ordered.Turned out perfect, ordered the same size as Merrel shoes. 11.5 was exactly the same so I think they run true to size.
It can be difficult to find a comfortable, stylish heel when you wear a size 12. These shoes fit the bill.
This is a beautiful shoe, but it runs small and does not fit.
Such a great sandal! They take about 2 weeks to conform to your feet and for your feet to adjust to wearing these, but it is worth it! Also, if you wear a half size, purchase the size smaller not larger. I usually wear a 9 and 1/2 or a 10 in other shoes and the 9 to 9 and 1/2 sandal fits me perfectly.
These are the most comfortable wedges I've ever had on my feet! They are so soft and cushy! I ordered these in a 9N, and they fit my foot well. The strap at my toes is perfectly snug on my narrow foot, so it doesn't slide all around. The strap near the ankle is nice and thick, and also helps keep the shoe on my foot. All the edges are nice and soft, and don't cut into my feet. I really like the detailing on the wedge heel. Bella-Vita needs to make these in more colors, because these are fabulous shoes.

Well, it is, as Titans punter A.J. Trapasso proved when he booted a ball that hit the bottom of the JumboTron during the first game at the stadium. More embarrassing than the structural gaffe was Jones' blaming Trapasso for punting the ball "straight up." Yes, Jerry, that's where punts go in football, "straight up." 2|10 Kristian Dowling/Getty Images Kate Mara We didn't think we could love Mara any more than we already did. She's gorgeous, an accomplished actress and her family owns the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers. Well, she can now add another achievement to her résumé. She's made Entourage watchable again, popping up in the latest episode as E's new assistant and potential love interest. Sorry, Sloan. 3|10 Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE via Getty Images Ron Artest Trying to keep up with Artest on Twitter is no easy task. First the new Lakers forward not only tweeted that he was divorced, but he got a bit too descriptive in expressing his interest in meeting a ''working nerd girl.'' Then Artest said he was just joking about being divorced, but added that he was still going on a ''Twitter date'' this week. Can't wait to hear about it. 4|10 John M. Heller/Getty Images Flavor Flav In what looks like the oddest and possibly funniest show on TV, the former rapper will host a new late-night series, Nite Tales, an updated version of Tales from the Crypt, in which he plays a Time Keeper (of course) instead of the Crypt Keeper. The series features cameos from Ray J, Gary Busey, Brigitte Nielsen and Danny Glover. So what's the sports connection? Well, the executive producers are former Sacramento Kings players Mitch Richmond and Bobby Jackson, and the entire series is being shot in Sacramento. Well, it can't be much worse than the Kings last season. 5|10 AP Pete Carroll After getting ''Punk'd'' by a fake fight earlier in camp, Carroll returned the favor and surprised the Trojans over the weekend. The USC coach had legendary singer/songwriter Bill Withers (inset) talk to the team posing as an NCAA representative before he revealed who he was and got the team to sing Lean on Me in unison. As long as Carroll never enlists the help of Ashton Kutcher, he can ''Punk'' his team as much as he wants. 6|10 Jason Merritt/Getty Images Megan Fox Megan Fox will be hosting the season premiere of Saturday Night Live next month, which should give the show its best ratings in years. We can't imagine she'll be as funny as Peyton Manning or as awkward as Michael Phelps, but does it really matter? 7|10 Greg Fiume/Getty Images Mark Sanchez For a while, Sanchez's passer rating in his first start as a New York Jet was beginning to mirror Blutarsky's GPA in Animal House -- 0.0. Just when everyone was ready to call him a bust before the season even began, Sanchez fired a touchdown pass to Leon Washington. Calm down, people, he's a rookie with just 16 starts in college. Give him some time, or at least a quarter. 8|10 Dave Reginek/NHLI via Getty Images Versus As if it wasn't bad enough that the NHL airs on Versus, now DirecTV may no longer carry the Comcast-owned network. It begs the question: If an NHL game is being played and no one can see it, does it still make a sound? 9|10 AP, Angela Weiss/Getty Images Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova It looks like ''The Playmaker'' lucked out in the drawing for partners for this season's Dancing with the Stars. Irvin got Demidova, who was part of last season's winning team and the most likely breakout star among this season's dancers. If Irvin is as quick on his feet as he was in pushing off against defensive backs during his Hall of Fame career, he might actually be holding that gaudy disco ball at the end of the competition. 10|10 Next up MLB STUD:.500 average (9-for-22) 10 runs 4 HRs 11 RBIs 0 steals 10 Fantasy Studs and Duds, Week 20 August 25, 2009 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More Recommended Galleries More Sports 7 Unlikely Sports Friendships 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More More Sports Maria Sharapova serves to Justine Henin at the 2007 Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Championships in Madrid, Spain. 88 The View From Above 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More More Sports @SInow the hope and dream of returning to the #Indy500 each year... #KeepGoodGoing #IndyCar 12 Celebrating your inspirations: How did you defy the odds? 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More

"Applicants looking for the competitive edge in getting accepted at the business school of their choice may want to peruse this book." –Security Traders Handbook
Every year, thousands apply for a finite number of places in business schools. With similar grades, backgrounds, and goals, sometimes the only thing that can make an applicant stand out is the application essay. It's the best chance you have to shine and tip the balance in your favor.
Essays That Worked for Business Schools shows that the best essays are brief, sincere, and personal. Some are off the wall, some are bold, all are unique to their creator. One applicant writes about starting his own airline. Another tells about the corruption in his job as a defense contractor. And a third reflects on his license plate. From the thousands submitted each year, the forty essays in this book were considered some of the best by admissions officers at the nation's top business schools. As this collection demonstrates, with creativity and effort you can turn almost any topic into an effective, successful essay for your business school application.

AN INTERVIEW with an ADMISSIONS OFFICER
Although different schools attach different levels of importance to the application essays, and although each school may be looking for a slightly different type of student, admissions officers have surprisingly similar desires. They want brevity. They want sincerity. They want mature enthusiasm. And a little humor–when it's truly humorous–doesn't hurt.
But as we perused the application questions and tried to compose our own answers, we found ourselves asking a number of questions. How "business-like" should we be? How much can we joke around? Can we relax and be the readers' chum, or should we treat them like clients? Should we tell them what they want to hear, or should we be totally honest, even at the risk of being boring?
We asked these and other questions to dozens of admissions officers at almost every major business school in the country. The following is a condensed version of those interviews:
What's the difference between application essays for business school and the essays we wrote to get into college?
The main difference is the way the author presents himself. What we ask of a college graduate is much more difficult than what colleges ask of a high school senior. And it should be. We don't want applicants to simply give a self-absorbed description of themselves, like they did for their college application. Rather, we want them to describe the world they see around them, and their place in it. An analogy we like to use around here is that with the essay, a student fashions a lens for us to view the world. From looking at the quality of that lens, we hope to judge the quality of its maker.
When we finish an essay, we expect to have learned something about the applicant and an industry or management or business. If an applicant has worked in a steel plant, for example, it should be interesting to see his understanding of the problems in the indus- try. What kind of management problems has he observed, and how would he change things? You can't expect that type of analysis from undergraduates.
We also expect more maturity for business school. That's partly a function of age–we're often dealing with people in their late 20's or 30's–but it's also an issue of direction. Undergraduates are coming to school to explore. It's hard to justify giving one of a few MBA spots to someone who is not pretty committed to a business career.
Do you want a description of a person or just his accomplishments?
We want an essay that brings the whole set of numbers into a coherent form. We want inconsistencies explained, and we want to see diverse activities as different facets of a single personality. We'd like to be able to say, "Oh, he did that, yeah, that makes sense. That fits with what we have." Both the performer and his track record should be discussed, so that we can know the person underneath all the accomplishments, and also how those activities affected that person.
An applicant could discuss, for example, how his jobs at a computer firm and at a wholesale food distributor will help him make grocery stores more efficient. Or how working in a defense firm led him to see the need for military procurement reforms.
Are there any hackneyed topics that applicants should avoid?
I would be lying if I said we dive enthusiastically into the drama of every investment banker's grueling program, but most of our questions are very personalized and no two people have exactly the same experience. Since we ask fairly specific questions, most answers are in the same vein, but we still get a good mix of ideas.
The similarity in topics is not what makes essays dull–and most of them certainly are. It's the monotonous style. Applicants tend to use too many big words and amorphous adjectives and not enough colorful details and observations.
If reading thousands of these essays is so boring, would you prefer that applicants try to entertain you?
First off, let me say that gimmicks do not work. This year we got an essay written in crayon on construction paper. It really hurt the applicant because it made us question his maturity and competence. That kind of joking might work occasionally for a college application, but we are dealing with much more sophisticated people at this level. Jokers are admitted only if their credentials are so good that we just can't refuse them.
You do have to captivate the reader somewhat, but many people hurt themselves by going too far. One applicant wrote an eight-page essay when we asked for one page. He was entertaining, but he didn't arrive at any point. And he didn't get very far in the admis- sions process, either. It's like marketing: get our attention and then say something. Just grabbing notice isn't enough.
I loathe "cute" essays. Nothing bugs me more than someone trying to be my funny pal. Dry wit is good, but when someone starts off with "Wow, investment banking is so neat," I just cringe.
I suppose my best advice is to write a mature essay–nothing too formal, though–and to integrate your personality into it as best you can. Don't be afraid to say what you feel. Remember that serious is not synonymous with humorless. We love wit, but it has to be backed up with meaningful points.
What about the offbeat essay? Does it have an advantage because it grabs your attention?
It's true that I get tired of the same self-descriptions of the thousands of people who apply here each year. We could fill our class ten times over with people from Wall Street, and it would be nice to see someone who is a bit "off beat." Given comparable work experience and success, I'd much rather take someone who has run a farm in Iowa than an investment banker.
But being off-beat just to get attention won't work. The uniqueness has to mesh with the rest of the application. We do want to see different facets of an applicant's personality. We do want people to show us how they differ from the other 7,000 applicants. But different doesn't mean outrageous. It can mean a New York consultant who takes ghetto kids camping on weekends, or a computer whiz with a passion for scuba diving. It does not mean some goofball just trying to impress us with a bunch of one-liners.
What advantage does a good writer have? Does style beat substance?
We try to be sensitive to poor writing skills, because we aren't looking for future authors or even scholars, necessarily. We're looking for future business leaders. We realize that engineers will be at a disadvantage when compared to advertisers, and we take that into account when we read the essays. But there's no question that writing style does make a difference. A good writer is convincing and engaging. She knows how to intrigue an audience, and she backs up her points with specific examples. Her ideas flow smoothly, and she makes the reader's job a lot easier. And if she is intelligent and witty, her essay is hard to forget.
Unfortunately, we get few essays of that caliber each year, and we won't hold it against you if you don't write a literary masterpiece. But we also keep in mind that skillful presentation and communication are crucial aspects of business.
If your readers want a good piece of advice when they start writing, let me say this: relax and just write. Only a small percentage of people bowl us over with style. What we really want is content.
One applicant wrote an essay wondering why people on death row always ask for a cigarette instead of writing down something about their lives or even making a last statement. Well, it's incredibly hard to express yourself, and we know that, so don't let your anxiety about style interfere with your need to write a meaningful essay.
So what are you looking for?
An honest, thoughtful essay. I know that sounds a little trite, but it's something we rarely see. Not only is that the best essay to read, but it should be the easiest to write. Concocting ridiculous anecdotes, attention-getting schemes, or a fictitious portrait is really a big waste of time and energy.
We want people to be vibrant, but we don't want gimmicks. We want a business-like approach, but we don't want to be fed dull, pompous lines.
Everyone wants us to give a recipe and a roadmap to the process, but what we want is someone who can navigate his own course. Within guidelines, of course.

Mormon apologetics group announces new name
Critics such as Fawn Brodie and Ed Decker have used a limited, 20th-century perspective to assume that any reasonable person experiencing what Joseph Smith claimed "would have run home and grabbed his diary to carefully describe in great detail what he experienced before running from neighbor to neighbor shouting, 'Guess what happened to me,'" said Barney, a former staff member of the LDS Church History Department and a current executive director of the Mormon History Association.
In contrast, Barney documented what he said was Joseph Smith's prophetic style, a tendency to regard his spiritual experiences as sacred and personal and not to share them unless divinely instructed to do so.
The topic "Charity Never Faileth: Seeking Sisterhood amid Different Perspectives on Mormon Feminism," was explored by a panel of five women: Neylan McBaine, Valerie Hudson Cassler, Wendy Ulrich, Kris Fredrickson and Maxine Hanks.
"Feminism speaks to the equality of men and women, but that term equality is an important one to pin down," Cassler said. "It does not mean the same; it does not mean identical. There's equal regard, there's equal respect, there's equal power, in a sense. All of these things comprise my definition of equality, which I sometimes call parity, which is equality in the context of difference."
Hanks, who recently rejoined the church after leaving it in 1993 as one of the prominent "September Six," said there are two main camps: equality feminism and difference feminism.
"Mormonism is amazing because it's one of the few religions, maybe the only one, that incorporates and institutes both equality feminism and difference feminism within one organization," she said.
Ralph Hancock, professor of political science at Brigham Young University, spoke about "Mormonism and the New Liberalism: the Inescapability of Political Apologetics."
"Mormon apologetics aims not to replace faith, prayer and obedience as essential to the pursuit of ultimate life-giving truth, but to preserve or create a cultural or intellectual climate in which belief may flourish," Hancock said. One of the greatest obstacles to such a climate, he said, is the cultural prestige of the new liberalism, which he said denies the supremacy of morality over human self-expression.
"Indeed," he added, "I would suggest that a rising young scholar or intellectual today is more likely to be excluded from the circles of cultural prestige for moral/political reasons" than for holding beliefs in ancient scripture or miraculous and divine events.
The conference continues on Friday with presentations about Joseph Smith's first-vision narrative in context, "disenchanted Mormonism," a panel discussion about the loss and rekindling of faith, and working "toward a more effective apologetics."
Most conference presentations are eventually published verbatim on the organization's website at www.fairlds.org.
