McCain Hit Romney On Bain In 2008
Defends him today. In '08, "strip away the jobs." In '12, "Communism."
Romney and McCain campaign in South Carolina last week.
John McCain heatedly defended Mitt Romney's private sector record today:
"These attacks on, quote, Bain Capital is really kind of anathema to everything that we believe in," said McCain. "We believe in job creation, and the record of Bain Capital is to take companies that would otherwise fail and restore them to some kind of viability, and sometimes that doesn't work, but, you know, when it always works is a thing called communism, where you keep everybody in business."
But that's exactly not what McCain was saying in 2008, when the rapaciousness of Bain was part of the endgame he and his aides pressed against Romney.
From the Times:
Mr. McCain also went after Mr. Romney for his work as head of Bain Capital, a leveraged-buyout firm. 'As head of his investment company he presided over the acquisition of companies that laid off thousands of workers.'"
McCain sideswiped Romney's credentials as a successful business leader while answering a question about who would best run the nation. 'I think he managed companies and he bought and he sold and sometimes people lost their jobs,' McCain said. 'That's the nature of that business.'
And the Globe:
"Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, leveled similar criticism against Romney, the former head of Bain Capital in Boston. 'He learned politics and economics from being a venture capitalist, where you go and buy companies, you strip away the jobs, and you resell them,' Davis said in an interview with National Journal. 'And if that's what his experience has been to be able to lead our economy, I'd really raise questions.'"

With a 2.4 million people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), India is among the countries in the world most vulnerable to the spread of HIV. This study focuses on understanding what makes female college students (ages 18–24) in Kolkata, India willing to comply with HIV/AIDS preventive measures; these students are widely believed to be at low risk of infection with HIV. Through a questionnaire survey, the data used in this study was collected from 232 female students attending five higher education institutes. Multiple regression analysis reveals that religion, household income, perception of whether preventive measures would hamper freedom, and respondents' perception of the effectiveness of preventive measures all influence the students' willingness to comply with preventive measures. Based on its findings, the study makes several recommendations to improve HIV/AIDS prevention in Kolkata and West Bengal, India.

PRATTVILLE, Alabama (AP) -Third-ranked Stacy Lewis shot a 7-under 65 to take a two-stroke lead in the Navistar Classic, while second-round leader Lexi Thompson fell five shots behind on Saturday.
Lewis, a two-time winner this season, had a 15-under 201 total on The Senator course at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail's Capitol Hill complex. She birdied four of the first five holes in her bogey-free round.
"I think going into today I knew I needed to make birdies just the way the scores had been all day, and you don't know if you're ever going to start off like that," Lewis said. "You can kind of hit it good warming up, but you never really know what you're going to take to the course."
The 17-year-old Thompson had a 74 to drop into a tie for sixth at 10 under. Thompson won the event last year at 16 to become the youngest champion in U.S. LPGA Tour history, a mark broken last month by 15-year-old New Zealand amateur Lydia Ko in the Canadian Women's Open.
"I just struggled a little bit," Thompson said. "I'm definitely not out of it. I shot 63 the first day, so if I have a round like that, I can be in contention. I'm just going to go out and free swing and try to make birdies. Hopefully, a few more putts drop."
Angela Stanford shot a 68. She won the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore in February.
"To win early in the year and late in the year would be pretty big, because I think it's such a long year that there's so many ups and downs," Stanford said. "It would be nice to have another."
Lizette Salas with third at 12 under after a 70, and Haeji Kang and Mi Jung Hur followed at 11 under. Kang shot a 67, and Hur had a 72.
"Tomorrow, nothing changes," Salas said. "Game plan is to stay patient and just play with confidence. I think that's the main thing for me. Just keep it keep rolling the rock, that's what I've been told this whole week, and just to stay positive."
Sarah Jane Smith and Hee Young Park joined Thompson at 10 under. Smith had a 68, and Park shot 72.
Top-ranked Yani Tseng was 5 under after a 70.

Ford Finds That Remaking a Fixture Is Risky Business
By MARY WALTON
Published: October 20, 1999
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.— WEARING a dark blue Bill Blass shirt with the Ford Motor Company scripted over his heart, Rick Crossland, the brand manager for the 2000 Taurus, bounded onstage at the Boar's Head Inn here one day last month to deliver a sales presentation. The target customers for the new Taurus, Mr. Crossland announced in a buoyant voice, would be the very people who already owned Tauruses, some four million in number. Ford was not chasing new buyers, in other words. It just wanted to keep the old ones.
What a difference four years makes. I remember Ford executives explaining to me, as I began reporting for a book on the development of the 1996 Taurus, their daring strategy. Banking on the loyalty of current owners, they would concentrate their resources on attracting the younger, more affluent, better-educated people who normally bought imports.
At the time, it seemed to make sense. But the strategy backfired. Not only were import buyers unimpressed, but Taurus owners were put off by a price increase and an outre design that sacrificed some functional attributes. Since its introduction in 1985, Taurus has slipped to third place from first in sales of midsized cars, trailing the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord.
The 2000 Taurus is the third major redesign. Aside from its grille, it sports none of the ovals that characterized the flamboyant 1996 version, which was not only ovoid in overall shape but had oval headlights, an oval back window and even oval door handles. New safety features, like side air bags and a five-minute chorus of seat belt chimes known as the ''Beltminder,'' signal Ford's guess that safety more than styling will sell to people who drive Tauruses.
But it is only a guess. Introducing a new model is always a high-stakes gamble, and it is even riskier when the car is a beloved fixture in American driveways.
When the original Taurus debuted, highways were awash in boxy little cars spawned by the fuel crises of the 1970's. By comparison, the Taurus was so rounded its detractors called it a ''jellybean.'' But fans outnumbered critics, and sales took off. Created by what was at the time Detroit's most quality-conscious car maker, the Taurus was a handsome, comfortable, reasonably priced vehicle that a stalwart American could feel good about buying. The company never understood precisely why the original Taurus was such a hit with customers. The words ''dumb luck'' slipped out in one interview with a Ford manager.
In 1992 Ford introduced a remodeled Taurus that car enthusiasts criticized for its timidity because it looked almost exactly like the original model. It turned out to be a brilliant move. That year Taurus overtook the Honda Accord in sales of midsized cars. But in the big, airy Ford Design Center, where a team was already at work on the 1996 model, the criticism fueled demands for a fresh look. By now the Taurus silhouette had been co-opted by other car lines.
Understandably eager to repeat the company's initial success, Ford executives made two decisions, both expensive. One was to go with a bold design that would capture attention -- and sales -- through its novel appeal, the way the original had. The other was to go after a whole new group of customers, by instilling a level of craftsmanship and performance that would appeal to import buyers. The average age of Taurus owners was 51, compared with 42 for the Honda Accord. Management believed that a car popular with the older set did not have a healthy long-term future.
Designers of the 1996 Taurus were given their head. The first time I saw the curvy, egg-shaped car, it was a life-sized clay model in a Ford studio in Dearborn, Mich. It might look strange now, the chief designer told me then, but the whole industry was moving away from straight lines. Three years after its introduction every new car on the road would look like soft ice cream. I believed him, but he was wrong. That Taurus marked the end of the look, and Ford itself is credited with introducing ''the new edge'' to subsequent car designs.
IN the '96 Taurus, function followed form, with unfortunate results. Prospective buyers looked in vain for map pockets on the S-shaped doors. Riders in the rear seat bumped their heads on the sloping roof. Worst of all, the designers had lopped off a couple cubic feet of trunk space. Owners of the first Taurus had listed storage space as their car's No. 1 attribute. They loved the big trunk.
Back then, Ford marketing imagined the target buyer as a newly promoted middle-manager married to a schoolteacher. Able to afford a few luxuries, the couple owned a Toyota Corolla but would be willing to consider a domestic car that was competitive in value and quality. The marketing folks called this buyer the ''Varsity Captain.''
When the 1996 Taurus went on sale, I hung out at Winner Ford, a dealership in Cherry Hill, N.J., waiting for the Varsity Captain to appear. The first new Taurus that Winner sold was to a single woman, a benefits coordinator. Then a gay couple bought one. An unmarried Indian engineer made a deal. Finally, a married couple drove away in a new Taurus. ''He was married,'' the salesman told me. ''She was married.'' But they were not married to each other. ''Call me when the Varsity Captain comes in,'' I said, leaving for home. The call never came.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A religious portrait has been stolen from the altar of the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Sacramento, California.
Police say the alleged bandit seen Friday afternoon on a church
surveillance video appears to be a woman who was wearing shorts, a
dark jacket and a white T-shirt.
The portrait of Our Lady of Guadalupe is worth an estimated $200, but church officials say its sentimental value is much higher. It was placed on the altar for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Noting that there have been previous thefts from the Cathedral, Monsignor James Murphy observed, "Basically, if it's not tied
down, it's been stolen."

I turned out on Saturday afternoon as VCM photgrapher to catch Johnymac in action at the Ronnie Macdonald memorial 10 mile time trial. Hosted by Ross-Shire Roads CC on a sunny afternoon riders experienced a healthy tailwind to the turn and a not so healthy headwind for the last 5 miles. Despite the headwind there were some good times recorded, John posted a time of 23:48.

Thereâs an 80s action flick dying to tear free of the pages of â39 Minutes.â All the tropes you expect to see are present but itâs not exactly the strongest gambit with which to sell the story. Pilot Season works like a game show where five comics each get one issue to wow the crowd and only one will continue. The creators must give their debut slice all theyâve got, but this issue fails to impress me.
The initial set up is actually quite terse and intriguing. A crew of marauding ex-jarheads wander into a bank and, instead of playing it cool, they blow as many people away as possible. Itâs an effective technique that turns the heist drama on its head. They then ensure the local cops know about the bloodshed as a lure to up the ordnance and nuke them as well. The town is opened up without any law enforcers and these criminals use a 39 minute window to take everything they want. Then they leave. This is actually a pretty decent idea but it is squandered here as nothing else is done with it.
There are two stories heading towards each other in this issue like rippled juggernauts of muscle working in slow motion to the best synth-pop they can find. Opposing the marines, we have the imprisoned good guy being blackmailed into working on the case. The good guy, John Clayton (he even sounds like he sprang from an 80âs script), grizzles behind a prison beard that would give MacReady a run but knows he has to do the right thing because, you guessed it, these men served under him in Iraq.
Clayton doesnât get to do much at all except spout off some thin flashback to explain a rift between him and his men. There is an improbable panel of a bunch of soldiers opening fire on each other, at close range, without seemingly killing any of these offending grunts. It doesnât exactly make sense and itâs a pretty standard (read: boring) way to show a rivalry.
My main problem with the issue is that the most interesting people -- the soldiers holding these varied heists -- are not explored in the slightest. Thereâs a meager hint of a brotherhood amongst them, but thereâs not one single piece of real character work committed. So, a majority of the comic is engaged with men in ski masks who I just donât understand. I feel the comic should have hung its hat on these men but instead jumps around like a breeze on fleeting clouds that doesnât blow anyoneâs hat off.
The art is simple and doesnât take too many chances with page layout or panel composition. Faces are inconsistent and the storytelling is plain. Itâs a shame because the gorgeous Rafael Albuquerque cover might lure the pundits in but then it will only serve to annoy them in juxtaposition against what theyâre really getting on the page.
â39 Minutesâ could have been a pretty cool tale but instead itâs just a cool concept trapped within a very average tale. The characters are sliced super thin and they add no flavor at all as they build up to an ending that tries to shock but comes across more like the uncool uncle who just forgot the punchline and improvised.

Maybe, as a goodwill gesture, the Russians could stop supplying money and arms to the Scottish Jacobites and other radical independence agitators...... oh wait, it was the 'democratic' west which effectively aided the overthrow of an elected government in Ukraine wasn't it, not the other way around?ReplyDelete
So if the Russians aren't trying to destabilise a country on Britain's border, why are Britain and the Yankees so interested in causing mayhem on Russia's back yard? Its a funny ol' life sometimes.

Bennington school budget defeatedMay 22,2013BENNINGTON — The Bennington School District budget was defeated again Tuesday by a vote of 524-473.
The budget of $12,940,745 had been cut by more than $575,000 from the budget which was defeated in March.
That budget, $13,518,802, lost by a vote of 1,095-915.
In March, George Sleeman, vice-chairman of the Bennington School Board, said he thought the budget may have been defeated because it was an increase of about 19 percent from the previous year's budget of $11,360,113.
Sleeman said Tuesday that the latest budget, which was an increase of about 14 percent from the budget passed in 2012, might have still been too high.
"What we'll have to do is we'll have to call an immediate meeting of the (school board.) We'll try and meet, hopefully this week or the first of next week, and we'll review it and come up with a decision as to what we're going to do," he said.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

Here's a quick lesson in skincare history: In West Africa, traditional black soap is made by mixing the ash and barks of local plants with healing oils. Rich in vitamins A and E, it's become prized by women around the world for its abilities to battle blemishes and the signs of skin aging. This rich cleansing and exfoliating bar from Shea Terra Organics is the real deal. Made with USDA-certified organic ingredients, it retains all the medicinal benefits of the original African soap.
I am so glad I read the reviews before buying this soap! Someone suggested cutting off little blocks at a time to use and that is the perfect way to use this soap! It will last a really long time. Store it somewhere dry between uses also. I really love this product, My face feels so soft and clean! Cleared up the few pimples I had as well!5
I've always had a difficult time finding something that actually works on my skin. I can honestly say that my skin is so much clearer and softer since using this. Doesn't really have a smell, but isn't anything too bad. I love this! Can be drying, so moisturizer will definitely be needed after depending on your skin. I've got combination oily/dry.5
This stuff is amazing I am recommending to everyone especially to those acne prone but it firms skin as well so anybody could benefit. There is some things I wouldn't recommend..washing privates and put the soap on a tray bc it stains and it is slightly abrasive so just lather in your hands.5
I discovered African Black soap from several posts on IG with high recommendations. I have dry, easily-reddened, sensitive and acne-prone skin. I knew after using this bar to cleanse my face, my skin was barely red at all compared to when I normally wash my face with other mild cleansers. My skin wasn't tight either, soft and supple, yet felt as though a vaccume sucked all the impurities out! This is easily the most life-changing purchase I've made from not just Birchbox, but ever!5
I really like this soap! It has a very mild scent and lathers really well. I do like that I feel very clean after rinsing off. It doesn't leave a slippery or tacky feeling on the skin. I also like that I can use it on my face as well as on my body. I would definitely recommend using a wash rag or your hands as it does feel abrasive. As others have mentioned, you can cut it into smaller pieces, but I didn't really feel the need. Also, it is on the messy side, so be prepared to clean your tub or sink a little more often. All in all I really enjoy it (so far) and I will surely repurchase!5

We may, perhaps, leave the real sensation of Murder at the World Cup to hardened crime correspondents; but the more homely Case of Flailing Freddie and the Capsized Pedalo still raises real issues. Why, England 'ignored the issue for far too long,' cries Mike Dickson in the Mail. 'Coach Fletcher should have acted sooner,' snarls Geoff Boycott in the Telegraph. And, indeed, 'It's no secret I like a drink,' confesses Flintoff himself in the Sun. Whyever wasn't something done before the erstwhile hero trod water in the middle of a boozy West Indian night?
Perhaps because we humble consumers of the lofty ones' copy, we mere listeners to their erudite broadcast opinions, found ourselves a bit on the outside, secrets-wise. Perhaps because the cosy inner circle of travelling journalists and retired England stars didn't exactly fulfil the most basic requirement their audience demands: that is, breaking a totally valid news story.
We know now, post-pedalo, that Flintoff 'had been warned about boozing' by his county side, Lancashire, in the past, because its CEO tells the Mirror so. We know that, as captain, he 'was warned several times for drinking in Australia last winter', because Nasser Hussain in the Mail tells us so. As a matter of fact, we know that he was warned as long ago as 2003, when Hussain himself was in charge, because 'he was too drunk to go to a sponsor's function at the end of the last World Cup'.
But did anybody in the travelling circus of cricket scribes think these innumerable warnings, no matter how formal and fierce, worth recording? Apparently not - at least in terms clear enough to provoke a reaction. Christopher Martin-Jenkins can chunter on in the Times about the 'several warnings for drunkenness' dished out at the end of the Australian tour. Mike Selvey in the Guardian can at last begin to explain why Duncan Fletcher thought that disciplining the captain 'would have been too much of an issue to sit alongside many others' in that losing series.
This was surely why Fletcher wanted Michael Vaughan back in charge. Selvey writes: 'Flintoff was drinking Australia dry and being yellow-carded for it, yet might have to take the side to the World Cup.' Thus cricket and politics bubble in a single pot.
Yet the original, very awkward question remains. Consider Hussain, David Gower, Mike Atherton, Derek Pringle, Beefy Botham and the whole caravan of cricketing exes. Take the reporters from every national who ride along with them wherever they go. The big names of yesteryear have clout and access. The reporters at their elbows have time to dig and break stories. Why, then, was the problem of 'drinking Oz dry' kept so quiet? Why did nobody rock a very unsteady pedalo?
It would be have been difficult to make waves, to be sure. It would have seen the nark who wrote the big tale ostracised, even beefily thumped, at bars from Sydney to St Lucia. It could even have affected English team morale, for what that's worth.
Murder is a rare, unthinkable thing on the cricket circuit - but booze is an everyday poison. Here was a tale that made those in the know choose sides. I hope they see what happened next as their own official warning.
All the evenings seem shorter
One small moment of newspaper history arrives tomorrow, in Halifax of all historic places. Goodbye broadsheet as the Evening Courier goes tabloid - and that's a momentous goodbye because (if you leave the Belfast Telegraph to one side) there's nothing but tabloids now for evening Britain to buy.
We're not talking slow shifts towards smaller pages in search of success. We're talking ends of the road - though still, on the latest sales figures, wondering where success quite went to.

KILLING TO LET LIVE? Feds Plan To Send Hunters To Shoot Northwest Owls
Over a year ago
GRANTS PASS, Ore. – Federal wildlife officials plan to dispatch hunters into forests of the Pacific Northwest starting this fall to shoot one species of owl to protect another that is threatened with extinction.

The lumber industry created the problem and now hunters are supposed to be the fix? There must be a more creative solution. From what I've read, even one of the best experts in the field, Eric Forsman, a Wildlife Biologist at the U.S. Forest Service, says it won't solve the problem. Maybe different size owl houses to provide more habitat? Catch/relocation program? They should hold a brainstorming session with scientists, artists, etc to figure it out…no hunters allowed.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
