Rand Paul = Democrats' Enemy #1
Democrats fundraise and campaign by exploiting concerns about right-wing extremism. But at least at the moment, what they apparently fear most is the rise of a candidate who could potentially poach enough of their supporters to beat them in 2016.
Rand Paul has not yet formally announced he is running for the Republican nomination. But with a lead in GOP polls and already laying the foundation for the infrastructure of a campaign, the junior senator from Kentucky is considered the early front-runner, one who is transparent about his desire to appeal to a broad range of voters—and that has Democrats worried.
For the 10th time in two years, Paul arrived on Monday in Iowa, where the first presidential caucuses will be held in 17 months, to try out his message on a three-day, multi-city, headline-generating tour.
Over the course of the trip, the Democratic National Committee sent out 10 press releases about Paul's every move and utterance. "What it can tell you as a political observer is that they recognize what we're trying to point out, which is Rand is the Republican who has the best chance of keeping and energizing the base while going into their constituencies," a senior aide for Paul told The Daily Beast.
Having only run for office the one time, in 2010, Paul is not the most experienced of campaigners—so heading out early seems intended as batting practice. But as the senator is the only likely potential candidate so publicly engaging in this sort of preliminary campaigning, there has been no way for him to practice unnoticed. While he has been testing the waters, the left has been testing its attacks.
Democrats began hitting Paul on Monday morning, first for fundraising with Iowa Rep. Steve King, who has entertained the idea of exploring impeachment(something Paul has said he would not consider); next for claiming he never proposed ending foreign aid to Israel (which he openly supported doing for years); and then for saying Republicans don't want to ban birth control and that he is "in favor of the concept" of a federal ban on gay marriage.
The most fun the DNC had, understandably, was with an incident that took place at a Monday-night fundraiser with King, when Paul was caught on video getting up—mid-bite into his hamburger—and practically running away from two immigration activists. (He gets an everyman point for taking his drink with him.)
The DNC snarked that the senator's swift exit was a "profile in courage" and later sent out an email detailing some of the best headlines the moment generated, including "Rand Paul Flees in Terror from Mexican Immigrant," and "Watch Rand Paul Run for His Life Before Steve King Insults an Immigrant in Iowa."
A spokesman for the DNC, Michael Czin, made no secret of his glee at Paul's troubles, tweeting:
Asked if Democrats were intimated by Paul, Czin laughed, "His positions are quite scary."
"He's working not to get out of the conservative box but to redefine it," Simon Rosenberg, president of the New Democrat Network, told The Daily Beast. If Paul gets the nomination, he becomes the effective leader of his party—meaning his redefinition of that conservative box could become the definition, a problem for Democrats, as Paul has a tendency to stake out atypical positions for a conservative and reach across party lines.
Paul has a limited-government, isolationist worldview that is particularly attractive after a decade of war, rampant overspending, and privacy invasions.
He has campaigned against domestic spying and the use of drones on American citizens—memorably conducting a 13-hour filibuster in 2013 on the latter—and has criticized both Republicans and Democrats for their foreign policy. He generated headlines this year when he refused to blame recent violence in Iraq on President Obama, instead pointing a finger at the Bush administration, particularly Dick Cheney. In Iowa this week, he labeled the conflict in Libya "Hillary's war," providing a preview of what the general election could look like with both of them in it.
And Paul's determination to make the GOP more inclusive makes him much harder to vilify than conservatives who might stomp their feet at such a notion.
He has made efforts to reach out to black voters that while met with some skepticism (he once questioned the constitutionality of certain parts of the Civil Rights Act) and cynicism have won him supporters and the acknowledgement that he is, at the very least, trying.

text: After a debate which turned into a discussion on the future of modern education, the State Board of Education today voted 14-1 to drop Algebra II as a graduation requirement for most high school students, 1200 WOAI news reports. That doesn't mean Algebra II is going away. The courses will still be taught, and it will continue to be a requirement for any student who wants to graduate with a 'STEM endorsement,' which is a requirement for most top college engineering programs. Several business groups opposed the move, saying it amounted to 'dumbing down' high school curriculum, but supporters say it is needed to open the door to offering more vocational and career oriented programs. Some opponents also said it forces students to make career choices in the ninth grade, when they are far too immature to make that decision. They say high school be a general training ground that teaches a young person what he or she needs to know for life, not a vocational school. The board also voted to rubber stamp a measure passed by the Legislature last year to cut the number of standardized tests required to graduate from 15 down to 5. The new rules will take effect when school starts in August.

Teen stowaway survives 5-hour flight in wheel well
(NEWSER) – A 16-year-old boy who stowed away in the wheel well of a plane after a fight with his family is incredibly lucky to be alive after the California-to-Hawaii flight, authorities say. The boy made it through the five-hour flight unharmed yesterday despite freezing temperatures at 38,000 feet and a lack of oxygen, the AP reports. An FBI spokesman says the boy was apparently unconscious for most of the flight and he was taken into custody after being found wandering around the grounds of the airport in a disoriented state.

Lack of water and inadequate sanitation
A child's well-being is highly dependent on both the quality and the availability of water, and on how well this precious resource is managed. Around the world, both biological disease agents and chemical pollutants are compromising drinking-water quality. Contaminated water causes a range of diseases which are often life-threatening. Of the waterborne diseases affecting children, the most deadly are diarrhoeal infections. Childhood diarrhoea is closely associated with insufficient water supply, inadequate sanitation, water contaminated with communicable disease agents, and poor hygiene practices.
Diarrhoea is estimated to cause 1.5 million child deaths per year, mostly among children under five living in developing countries. It is estimated that there will be 2.7 billion people without access to basic sanitation in 2015. Research shows that every US$1 invested in improved sanitation translates into an average return of US$9. Those benefits are experienced specifically by poor children and in the disadvantaged communities that need them most.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa may have lost his new BFF.
In a flip-flop day, actor Charlie Sheen first accused the mayor of lying about their recent encounter in Cabo San Lucas, a photo of which Sheen posted on his Twitter account with the caption "Antonio Villaraigosa knows how to party."
But by the end of the day, Sheen's spokesman put out a statement from the actor clarifying the meeting between the two in Mexico and apologizing "if any of my words have been misconstrued."
Villaraigosa's team, again, refused to comment on the meeting between the mayor and the Hollywood bad boy.
Villaraigosa last week said the two were together for all of three minutes while he was on vacation in Cabo San Lucas and he specifically asked Sheen not to post any picture.
Sheen told TMZ on Tuesday that he and the mayor were together for hours in Sheen's hotel suite, with a number of young women.
"I memorize 95 pages a week, so the last thing that I am is memory challenged," Sheen said. "We hung out for the better part of two hours discussing his L.A. roots, his poignant bullet campaign as well as his 3 a.m. lawn-watering tactics."
Sheen called Villaraigosa "a terrific guy, a great mayor and he drinks with the best of 'em. Me."
Sheen said there were a number of women in his suite, including one porn star.
But the statement released late Tuesday downplayed their meeting.
"The mayor was visiting friends in San Jose del Cabo, who were at the opening of the El Ganzo hotel and bar where my share of the ownership is 100 percent committed to the Los Cabos Children's Foundation," Sheen said in the statement.
"Mayor Villaraigosa was gracious enough to take a photo with me while we are at the same event. The mayor spoke to many other people during the opening, as well as I did. I am a giant fan of the mayor's, and apologize if any of my words have been misconstrued."
Villaraigosa last week said he poses for pictures all the time and did not think much of the one with Sheen. He said through a spokesman he would have no further comment on Sheen or what happened in Mexico.

Bigger screen and only slight improvement in battery...Oh yeah lets not forget LTE. Not looking good for apple so far.
1440mAh will make no discernible difference to the user. Keep in mind it's a higher voltage as well (more power output, even with a slightly higher mAh). I hope the processor requires less energy to run unlike the 4s which is bad. Looks like we'll see in a month or so.
So, let me see if I've got all the rumors so far straight: we've got a new design that is essentially the 4S with a metal back and a screen that is taller but not wider. This makes the phone great for watching movies (something I never use it for) while not improving things like typing in portrait mode (something I do all the time). We have a new dock connector which means I'll have to buy new accessories or buy an adaptor from Apple (probably for $10-$30). Then we have LTE and a new processor, which both add speed but will also consume more power. This isn't that big a deal since my 4S is already plenty fast and has decent network speeds when I am in an area with decent AT&T coverage. And now we find out that the next iPhone may only have the tiniest of increases in the battery size to offset all these new power hogging components. The new processor better sip power like the A4 rather than gulping it down like the A5 or this phone is going to have worse battery life than the 4S, which would be really saying something.
I keep hoping these rumors turn out to be false. But since most have come with pictures and we are getting closer to the launch date, I'm not holding my breath. If the next iPhone turns out to match the rumors, I think I will be sitting this generation out and hang on to my 4S. Here's hoping there is some killer undisclosed feature that makes me change my mind!
When has apple released a product that numerically doesn't have better battery??
You all need to calm down. Lol. The iPhone already has industry leading battery life compared to the other big android phones out there. Battery life is always subjective to those who use it. I've had my phone last 2 days on one charge. And I've had it last 8 hours. All depends on what your doing. How many messages you receive and stuff.
Lol you all seem to the be pros, clearly apple should just listen to you. Like they did with all there past releases...
Seriously complaining about a picture you dont even know is real, and if so, you have no idea what the rest of the insides are like, or outside in the case. So before you cry and go buy a Galaxy III s or w/e wait for the phone to come out and apple to tell you whats happening, then you can cry about it and buy it in the end.
what makes me laugh is that this battery is by far the lowest capacity of all the phones out today... they could manage a 1700 or 1800 mAh and probably blow the competition out of the water on battery life, yet they don't. They could do like the droid razer and make a 2 day battery life at ~3300mAh but they don't, Apple products just seriously have become a niche product for the uninformed
I still have an issue with yearly updated hardware(CELL PHONES) I just don't see the reasoning. Our contracts are 2 years, so make new tech every 2 years and make it count. These BS upgrades mostly software as of late are getting to be a bit much. I know tech takes time. Actually good tech/worthy takes time. Some of these "upgrades" are things that could have been in the previous model, cause they are not revolutionary at all. I hope this "new iPhone" really is more than the parts that MMi has been showcasing. Hope Apple is not resting on their laurels and will come through with a great quality phone. Siri should be awesome and do way more, Camera should be awesome and be at least 10-12MP, front facing camera 8MP, screen size (im fine with the 3.5) 4" to compete with Android, battery life substantially longer by now(its been years since the 1st iPhone)and they last the same amount of time on a single charge, Colors would be nice(thanks for the white iPhone)red, blue, green..whatever you like MAKE IT haha! Host of other standard things IMHO..we shall see.

First, here's Guy Boucher's take on the Anisimov/Lecavalier incident:
"It was a good rallying moment for us. Definitely, we wanted to stick together tonight. We know we weren't going to win it individually. We were going to win it as a team and I think that was a gesture that proved that the players were in it together. Obviously Vinny, the captain, showed them teh way and the fact that we are not going to take humiliation. He certainly set the tone for the rest of the game."

– Henrik Lundqvist on tonight's game…
"We played well; we've been playing well for a long time now. When guys go out of the lineup we have other guys get a good opportunity to play more and it's important for guys to get the challenge of playing more minutes. We had a really strong first (period) and they came out a little bit better in the second (period), but overall it was a pretty even game."
– Ryan Callahan on tonight's game…
"There were a lot of penalties we were killing, and when we were doing that it's hard to get momentum and sustain pressure. We have the same guys killing and the same guys on the bench, so it's hard to get momentum that way."

For the non NAPI case the packet is just put into a queue anyways. If you want to process packets as lists then just the consumer of the queue would need to be changed. I agree that it would be a good idea to lower locking overhead. That would only help much though if all the packets in a list belong to the same stream, otherwise you need multiple locks anyways for different sockets and it would be useless. For NAPI there would need to be some higher level changes for this. The main problem is that someone has to go through all the protocol layers and make sure they can process lists.

Just freeing TX packets on the same CPU as they were submitted. This way the skb will always stay in the per CPU slab cache. Should be straight forward: you hash the CPU number to the 8 transmit queues in dev_queue_xmit, then give each queue an own TX MSI and set the irq affinity of its interrupt to its CPUs. If you have more than 8 CPUs there will be still some bouncing, but e.g. on a NUMA system you could keep it at least node local or near in the machine topology (2.6 has the necessary topology information in the kernel for this now; just distance information has to be still gotten from ACPI) Should be all possible to do from the driver without stack changes. Using it usefully in RX is probably much harder and would need stack changes. -Andi

Arrested in December and indicted this week, Herman Robinson is accused of rape and murder involving a girl that began when she was 11 in 2006, according to the Schenectady County District Attorney's Office. Robinson was formally indicted Wednesday, March 5, in Schenectady County Court and will be arraigned Monday, March 10.
Investigators say Robinson, who turned 38 on Feb. 25, began raping a girl when she was 11 in 2006. In 2010, when she was 15, police say Robinson delivered the baby he fathered and then killed the infant girl and disposed of her body.
Robinson used to live at 1748 Lenox Rd. in Schenectady and was indicted on charges of Murder (2nd Degree), Predatory Sexual Assault Against a Child, Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child (1st Degree), two counts of Rape (1st Degree), Criminal Sexual Assault (1st Degree), Rape (2nd Degree) and Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
Back on December 13, 2013, Robinson was arrested and initially charged with three Sexual Assault offenses, authorities said. The murder charge and additional sexual assault charges came after a deeper investigation by Schenectady Police and the Special Victims' Unit of the District Attorney's Office.
Robinson is accused of engaging in various acts of sexual conduct with a child from the time the child was 11 years old until she was 18, investigators said. In June 2009, Robinson got the girl pregnant and the baby girl was born March 2010. When she was delivered, Robinson killed the baby and then disposed of her body, authorities said, adding that at the time only Robinson and the victim were aware of the ongoing sexual activity, pregnancy and birth.
Authorities say the victim was not a stranger and was known to Robinson. Right now, she is reportedly in a safe location, police said.

By Siobhan Gorman, Kristina Peterson and Carol E. Lee
White House documents obtained under court order and released Wednesday provide new evidence of high-level White House concern over fallout from anti-American protests that were underway around the time of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack that killed a U.S. ambassador and three other U.S. citizens in Benghazi, Libya.
The documents have refocused Republicans and Obama administration critics on the period of time between the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11 and television appearances by then-United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice on Sept. 16, in which she inaccurately said the attack had grown out of a spontaneous protest.
Top White House officials spent those days in a concerted damage control effort, critics maintain, trying to shield the administration from blame and safeguard President Barack Obama's re-election prospects.
The latest documents include one key email written Sept. 14 by White House aide Ben Rhodes, now a deputy national security advisor, to an assortment of other top administration officials, including White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
Titled "Prep call with Susan" in the subject line, Mr. Rhodes' email outlined four goals of the administration's public communication strategy.
One was: "To underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy." Another was: "To reinforce the president and administration's strength and steadiness in dealing with difficult challenges."
At the time of the Benghazi attack, anti-American protests involving U.S. embassies and other facilities were erupting in more than a dozen Islamic countries. The White House said Wednesday that Mr. Rhodes' email was addressing the larger situation, not the attack in Benghazi specifically.
"In the e-mail, Ben Rhodes makes clear that our primary goals included making sure our people in the field were protected and bringing those responsible for the attacks to justice," Ms. Hayden said. "The content reflects what the administration was saying at the time and what we understood to be the facts at the time."
U.S. intelligence officials later concluded that the attack did not grow out of a protest, contrary to what Ms. Rice's televised "talking points," which were based on earlier U.S. assessments.
Ms. Hayden said the e-mail is representative of the typical process of preparing senior officials to appear on Sunday shows, adding that the document states Ms. Rice was not on TV to talk politics.
Critics maintain the email, which was not among documents released by the White House last year, shows the administration was more concerned with its public image than the truth about the attack or transparency with the public.
"Now we know the Obama White House's chief concern about the Benghazi attack was making sure that President Obama looked good," said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, the conservative legal group that obtained them earlier this month under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
The Benghazi attack has taken on political overtones, particularly as Hillary Clinton weighs a 2016 presidential bid. She was secretary of State at the time of the Benghazi attack, which government and congressional investigations said resulted in part from inadequate security in an unstable region. With interest rekindled on Wednesday, part of the focus turned to Mrs. Clinton.
"If the White House felt this talking points memo was classified, what else don't we know about Benghazi and is all of this stonewalling just to protect Hillary?" asked Republican National Coimmittee Chairman Reince Priebus.
A series of Republican-led congressional investigations are underway, and the new disclosures are likely to re-energize the effort.
"The emails show that Benghazi, in the eyes of the White House, was a political problem for re-election and they approached it from that point of view," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) told reporters. "The document now released … clearly shows that Ben Rhodes was trying to be a political operative rather than a national security spokesman."

Elizabeth is a Programs Officer at the Immigration Museum
These school holidays the Immigration Museum's Easter Extravaganza program explores Easter traditions from around the world – from Australia to Germany, Russia, Bermuda and beyond.
Adrienne Leith surrounded by her collection of Easter egg wrappersImage: Rodney StartSource: Museum Victoria
Museum Victoria's Adrienne Leith has been creating her own Easter traditions since the mid-1960s, when she began saving the colourful foil from her Easter eggs. "As a child," Adrienne says, "the most treasured things I owned were Easter wrappers. My birthday is just after Easter, so I would be given special ones every year." Her collection spans almost 50 years with over 350 pieces, which are carefully catalogued in two leather scrapbooks. Adrienne only collects wrappers from eggs that have been given to her and she flattens all her wrappers by hand.
Easter Egg Tree at Immigration MuseumImage: Elizabeth DowneySource: Museum Victoria
Children can bring along their own Easter egg wrappers to the Immigration Museum's school holiday program, using them to decorate paper or pompom Easter eggs to hang on our Ostereierbaum or Easter egg tree. In Germany, the tradition to decorate the branches of trees and bushes with eggs for Easter is centuries old, with eggs of many styles and from different countries represented.

The sharing of eggs is a common practice during spring celebrations such as Easter, though they haven't always been colourful or made of chocolate. Traditionally the first thing to be eaten at a Russian Easter feast is an egg. Shared by the whole family, it is cut into equal pieces and given to everyone at the table. It is said that the egg contains happiness for the entire year, so everyone takes a share.
In Bermuda, people of all ages make and fly beautiful, colourful kites with wonderful geometric designs at Easter. There is said to be a special religious significance in Bermuda to kite flying that started on Good Friday during Easter, when a teacher had difficulty explaining the Christian religious concept of Jesus' ascension to heaven to his Sunday school class
Inspired by these customs, hop into the Immigration Museum these school holidays to make your own Bermuda kite, Babushka baskets or paper and pompom eggs for our German Easter Egg tree.

Some people at the time when the Prophet Jesus (as) returns to Earth will constantly maintain the delusions that the Prophet Jesus (as) is actually dead and will not be returning, and this may be yet another reason why he is not recognized. The fact is, though, that it is made clear in the Qur'an that the Prophet Jesus (as) was neither killed nor died. Our Prophet (saas) has also imparted many detailed glad tidings in the hadiths to the effect that the Prophet Jesus (as) will return. In addition, many verses of the Qur'an also refer to the fact that the Prophet Jesus (as) will return.
Nonetheless, some people still persist in the error that the Prophet Jesus (as) is dead, either from a lack of sufficient knowledge on the subject or else because of their own preconceptions, and claim that he will not be returning to Earth. Propaganda by people who have been taken in by this error may influence many others and cause them to act in the same mistaken manner. Under these circumstances, a great many people may again fail to recognize the Prophet Jesus (as) when he does return.

Rock Hill, S.C. - Fernando Montemurro clinched the victory for the #2 Bulldogs on singles court No. 6 to advance Wingate to the championship match of the 2010 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Men's Tennis tournament
The Tornados took a 2-1 lead after doubles play. Cole Altizer and Jarred Fisher struck first blood on the afternoon, recording an 8-5 victory on court No. 2 against Fernando Montemurro and Greg Machado. Wingate evened the match on court No. 3 as Andrew Owen and Matthew Lichtenstein topped Jonathan Kuhn and Andrew Thompson, 8-5. The Tornados took the lead heading into singles on court No. 1 as Scott McCormick and Dorian Feron battled their way to a 9-8 (9-7) win over Bruno Pudence and Flavio Rathsam.
In singles competition, Rathsam evened the score at two with a straight set victory on court No. 5 over Feron, 6-3, 6-0. Lichtenstein gave the Bulldogs their first lead of the afternoon, defeating Altizer in straight sets on court No. 2 to put the score back at 3-2, after his 6-4, 6-4 victory. McCormick tied the match back up with his 6-1, 7-6 win on court No. 1 over Pudence.
Victories by Wingate's Braeden Patchell on court No. 4 and Brevard's Andrew Thompson on court No. 3 left the match tied at 4-4, with the singles match on court No. 6 the only one still in play.
On court No. 6, Montemurro and Shane Apps battled through the first set, with Montemurro winning 7-6 (7-4). The Wingate junior then put the match away with a 6-1 second set victory to seal the match.
Brevard most likely ends the season with an 8-12 record with their semifinal loss.
"I'm going to miss all of these seniors," commented Brevard Head Coach Paul Thomson. "I had hoped for a happier ending to their careers, but the guys and girls should be very proud of the work they have done over the last four years."
Wingate advances to the 2010 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference men's tennis championship match against #1 Lincoln Memorial, held at the Rock Hill Tennis Club tomorrow afternoon at noon. The Railsplitters advanced to the SAC Tournament finals with a 5-0 win over No. 4 seed Mars Hill in the semifinals on Friday.
"It was a fight out on the courts today. We were lucky to win, Brevard left it all on the court and really pushed us to the brink," said Wingate Head Coach Michael Cabana. "I'm excited about the opportunity to play LMU for the tournament championship tomorrow. We are going to have to play better to win, but we look forward to the challenge."

Craig Morgan calls off concerts after surgery
Listen to Craig Morgan on iHeartRadio
Shoulder surgery has sidelined country crooner Craig Morgan.
According to USA Today, the country singer went under the knife Wednesday after injuring his shoulder during a grappling session several weeks ago. What was supposed to be routine surgery for torn tendons ended up requiring six screws to repair bone fractures.
A rep for Morgan's Black River Entertainment record label says Morgan will be in a sling for the "next few weeks." During that time Morgan has called off an appearance on CBS's "The Talk" on Monday, as well as upcoming concerts in Chattanooga and Nashville, Tennessee and Twenty-Nine Palms, California.
Get well soon, Craig!

|[school]I loved writing in my planner every school year from high school to college. It kept me organized! I've decided that I am going to try to do that again with Bloom Daily Planners. They are super cute, fun, and fit any girl's style. If you're going back to school OR pretend like you are the same way I do every September, you need one of these! Check em out on Amazon !
|[lifestyle]I always wear my grandma's wedding band but I hate taking it off when going swimming or cleaning because I don't want to lose it. I got a tweet about Ring Wrapper, it's a thick silicone ring that you wear over your every day ring. It protects the ring, keeps it clean, and prevents you from scratching people or objects so it's great for sports. It comes in various colors too!
|[app]I use Twitter and Instagram to get an inside look into some of my favorite artists, that's why I downloaded the app, Rouse. It compiles artists' accounts from Twitter, Instagram, Vevo, Facebook, YouTube, Vine, and more. You can follow everything your favorite artists are doing in one place. Watch their videos, see their pics, listen to songs they post. I love how I can stalk them all in one place!
