December 29, 1958 - January 26, 2013
Formerly of Newburgh, NY
Frederick Douglas Paige Jr.'s journey began on December 29, 1958 and culminated after an extraordinarily courageous battle with cancer on Saturday, January 26, 2013 at the Wayne Memorial hospital in Pennsylvania.
He was born in Yonkers, NY to the late Viola M. Carpenter who raised him with his father, the late Irving "Lee" Carpenter. Fred spent the majority of his life in Newburgh, NY prior to relocating to Tafton, Pa. where he retired. He attended school in the Newburgh City School District and was known for his highly competitive and athletic prowess in football, wrestling and track & field. These physical skills, while notable were surpassed by his incredible intellect. He graduated an accomplished athlete and student.
Fred was a natural born leader who never shunned hard work. He clearly demonstrated these attributes in his various career choices during his work life and they were reflected in his ability to secure positions of authority and accountability. At the young and spirited age of seventeen he was a District Manager for the Evening News, a position he secured in short time after being a paper delivery boy. When the paper closed he secured a position at Tarkett where he quickly was voted a shop steward. He then moved on to NYS Corrections where he retired as a Staffing Officer after 26 years of service. Fred always had an entrepreneurial and innovative spirit his personal business, The Front Paige was a successful enterprise which he and his wife managed for 12 years. He was also an aficionado of music, technology and first-class automobiles.
Fred is well known for his passionate love of Jesus and his family. He married his soul mate and the true love of his life, Jo-Ann (McCue) Paige on August 19, 1978. Their love survived during a time when people of differing backgrounds, let alone skin color, was not acceptable by the norms of society; however, the injustice of prejudice and racism did not overcome them. Instead, their love story prevailed for 35 years. His final words as he fought to take his last breaths are reflective of his deep love he asked for his beloved and wanted to know that she was "okay". Fred was a devoted husband and father of three sons (Frederick Douglas Paige III, Joshua Lee Paige and Jason Ronald Paige). He passionately and determinedly committed himself to teaching and raising them to be men who exemplified the core family values and work ethic passed on to him values he exhibited authentically and with unwavering conviction.
Fred was raised in the church but rededicated his life to Christ on February 12, 1990. He committed himself to sharing his love of Jesus and the Word. He was called to serve, and ultimately organized and Pastored a church, The City of Refuge. He was known for his ability to deliver a biblically based sermon with knowledge and depth - where it unequivocally could be understood and applied to our daily modern lives.
Fred leaves to continue his legacy: his wife of 35 years, Jo-Ann Paige; three sons, Frederick D. Paige III and his wife, Gisele Paige of Orlando, FL, Joshua L. Paige and his wife, Dena Paige of Bucks County, PA, Jason R. Paige and his fianc, Deanna Prisco of New Windsor, NY; a sister and brother, Denise L. Carpenter and Leon M. Carpenter of Newburgh, NY; five grandchildren, Freddy Colon-Paige, Tatiana Paige, Jayden Paige, Joshua Paige and Elijah Paige and expecting Gabriel Paige on June 1st; one nephew, Michael Williams and his wife, Trenice; two nieces, Emily and Mercy Carpenter; three great-nieces, Zhiana, Brenda and Zhimya; one great-nephew, Zhyair; one brother-in-law of the heart, Orlandis Williams of Peekskill, NY; many cousins and numerous "adopted" family members. He is going home to join his mother, Viola M. Carpenter, his father, Irving L. Carpenter and his sister, Wanda M. Page.
Visitation will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, January 29, and from 10 to 11 a.m. on Wednesday, January 30 at Brooks Funeral Home, 481 Gidney Ave., Newburgh. A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, January 30 at the funeral home, with burial following in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Newburgh.

DIXON – Mayor Jim Burke hopes Thursday was a beginning.
Two representatives each from the Riverfront Commission, Dixon Main Street and Dixon Tourism talked at City Hall about the idea of becoming one entity in front of about 22 residents.
The mayor moderated and City Commissioners Dennis Considine and Jeff Kuhn sat in.
Although no action was taken, except for the mayor suggesting another meeting, each group was able to gauge what they do and where they stand on the idea, which the mayor pointed out is the first step to any coordination.
"We had a really productive discussion and good things came out of this," Burke said. "Even if we go no further than where we're at now, I think each side got an idea of their niches in the community and will be more cooperative with each other in the future."
The idea originated in November 2011 when Main Street Executive Director Josh Albrecht approached the City Council with a concept his board proposed. What if the Riverfront, Main Street and Tourism kept its boards intact, but combined services under one executive administrator and an advisory board with members from each group?
As Main Street representative Mike Venier pointed out Thursday: "How can we maximize the value of the three entities involved and reduce any redundancies?"
In 2011, Tourism initially backed out of those talks, while Riverfront showed interest. Plans were diverted when the city's former comptroller, Rita Crundwell, was arrested in April for stealing nearly $54 million from the city.
Thursday's meeting brought the idea back to life as each side voiced its initial reaction to the concept. Representatives from Main Street and the Riverfront favor a consolidation of services, while representatives from Tourism remain tentative on a merger, but willing to cooperate more.
If it ain't broke ...
Tourism board member Colleen Brechon, who also is a city commissioner, wants to know how a consolidation could help that board.
Tourism's objective is to bring visitors to Dixon and generate hotel tax, which circles back to it for funding. It operates on about an $80,000 budget, with expenses mostly involving advertising outside of Dixon.
"We already feel we are doing a great job and maximizing what we have. I don't see any problem to fix," Brechon said. "What I want is for someone to tell me how I can help them more than I am now. That's where I'm at."
Brechon supports cooperation among the groups and will continue talks, but she is against a merger.
Tourism President Vicky Walter asked if their group can even legally consolidate, since its revenues are earmarked for promotion outside of the city by municipal code. Both Brechon and Walter were concerned a consolidated group could lose sight of tourism's mission and take away from what's already being done.
"Our job is to bring people to Dixon," Brechon said to the other groups. "Your job is to make sure they have a good time."
'Bigger, faster, stronger'
Main Street's Venier said the idea is not to take away from what any of the groups are doing, but to work together to be better.
"When I heard this, I didn't think about decreasing anyone's budget, as much as if we work together, can we put more money toward items such as advertising," Venier said. "I saw it as, let's get together to be bigger, faster, stronger."
Venier and fellow board member Scott Brown said having an executive director, which tourism does not, helped them pull off an event as large as Mumford & Sons coming to Dixon in August. The idea of all three groups being under one roof also was suggested to save money.
Main Street operates on about a $90,000 budget, largely from donations from businesses. It's objective is to promote and preserve the downtown.
"I don't think you realize how much it helps to have someone in that role (of executive director), until you see how efficient everything gets put together," Brown said.
Something has to change
Riverfront Commission Chairman Larry Reed said Main Street's proposal made sense.
The commission's objective is to promote the city's riverfront; it operates on about a $25,000 budget, which is almost entirely for maintenance and staff. It already shares an office with Main Street.
"I see a lot of positive in Main Street and the Riverfront working together," Reed said. "I see the city of Dixon coming in to help with the maintenance of Heritage Crossing and working with Main Street to coordinate events, plus they have a large pull of volunteers than we do to help out."
"Doing nothing isn't really an option," said John Varga, who also represented the Riverfront. "If we don't come together, I don't see us going anywhere."
The Riverfront has not been able to reach any of its project goals of building a boat dock or pedestrian bridge, because its focus has been on operations and maintenance.

There's rational dislike, and then there's mindless rage, and I think you crossed that line long ago.
I'm not saying Bioware can't make a sequel, I'm saying that if Bioware chooses to do so, they're going to have to start making choices about which parts of the Mass Effect games are canon. A prequel or a game that takes place in the ME1 and 2 timeframe (which is several years, mind you) is a lot less troublesome, since the events there are a lot easier to deal with or outright ignore.

Well.. if I was the lead writer, then my solutions is to say that enough time has passed that all remaining synthetics eventually become one new synthetic race which is called something else. This way, even if you chose destroy, the Quarians or someone else would make a new synthetic race which eventually will become this new race
it's not a solution that will make everyone happy
Honestly though, even a few hundred years is not enough of a gap.
The butterfly effect of the ending choices are just too powerful to handwave
The logical thing to do from a story telling perspective is to make another sci fi franchise. But I understand they want to re-use their assets.
All of this would not happen if they just stuck to their supposed original goal and end the story with the destruction of the Reapers.
Introducing synthesis and control just complicates further sequels.

Your forgetting that the Starchild is very old so logically speaking he has eons upon eons of evidence that points towards it.
Plus, as the Levaithans who are pretty much the apex in organic species noted, whenever their subjects created synthetics, no matter what, the synthetics ended up destroying them. Then you add in Javik and his experiences.
So yes regardless of what we see in Rannoch, Bioware has more or less established that there will always be conflict between organics and synthetics.
It's a shame because Shepard could've used the quarian vs. geth thing to show otherwise but they didn't bother with it at all. To Bioware, it would only be a matter of time before conflict erupted between the two (I mean Tali notes how the Geth were uploading into their suits....doesn't that sound familiar to what happened in Javik's era?)

There will always be conflict between synthetics and organics, for the same reason there will always be conflict between organics and other organics. Different ideology. Different interests. Expect conflict. So Starchild is right about that part.
The point is whether they can resolve it or not.
And this is where Starchild shows he a crazy and defective.
Starchild believes that the conflict can never be resolved, and organics will always lose.
So his solution was essentially to kill all organics before they are killed by synthetics and archive them in Reaper form.... what?
And during the process, Reapers go out of their way to be as horrific and traumatizing as possible.
It's clear where his bias lies. Remember that he's more advanced than an AI.
And once you get into that level of individuality, you develop prejudices and preconceived notions

The Turian lady's name is Nyreen and she joins you as a squadmate on the Omega DLC. Probably just as a temp squadmate. Aria is also a squadmate for the duration of the DLC, so no bringing Garrus or Tali (or anyone else) with you on the DLC.

blinded by blood
The Leviathan DLC basically states outright that the blue god kid (and the Reapers by extension) are functionally insane because they're trying to solve a problem within the scope of their programming, using methods that go against their programming, while attempting to stay within the limits of their programming.
It's a very Asimov-alike twist. Reminds me heavily of I, Robot, and the Cogito-infected AutoReivs from Ergo Proxy.
So no, Bioware does NOT say that synthetics and organics are always doomed to kill each other. The Reapers say that, while doing exactly that. They are an extant embodiment of a paradox. This also makes the Control ending probably the best possible ending, because Shepard (who is clearly not insane) takes the place of the paradoxically-insane Catalyst as the governing intelligence of the Reapers.
Edit: Really like the look of the female Turian. She doesn't even have any trace of what humans would refer to as feminine traits, so Bioware did a good job avoiding anthropomorphizing her. Unless she has boobs. That would be almost as dumb as female Argonians in the Elder Scrolls.

Yes, I know I played him for 3 games and he deserves a happy ending... but somehow I totaly like his (seemingly) sacrifice in the end.
Oh, and no EDI in the end.
But yay for no Star Child!

I agree, that even the Extended Cut ending is mostly fine, just the deus ex machina kid should have simply been replaced with a less jarring representation of the Reapers' collective intelligence. The Leviathan DLC actually makes the EC ending make a lot more sense, since the Reapers themselves are essentially a Logic Bombed AI that's gone completely whacky, so their whole "organics vs. synthetics" thing is a symptom of their insanity.
Leviathan's story plus the EC endings (specifically Control) basically saved ME3 for me. Synthesis is still stupid space magic, and Destroy is still nonsensical, but at least Control is a satisfying ending with the Leviathan plot points added, since the Reapers are repurposed, Shepard's mind replacing the insane Catalyst and having them serve a better purpose (either one of collective understanding of life as a Paragon Shepard, or one of ruthless defense of life as a Renegade Shepard).

NASA IRIS mission launch eventPosted on June 19th, 2013 No comments
Join us on Wednesday June 26, 2013 at the Museum of the Rockies. Free and open to the public 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm. for the launch of the new NASA mission IRIS.
MSU work set to launch June 26 on NASA missionJune 18, 2013 — By Evelyn Boswell, MSU News Service
BOZEMAN — Montana State University faculty and students who designed and tested optics for a NASA solar mission are counting down the days when their work will head into space.
The Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) is scheduled to launch at 8:27 p.m. Mountain time Wednesday, June 26, from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The launch could be postponed at the last minute, but the MSU scientists are inviting the public to watch with them at the planned time. The free event will run from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the planetarium at MSU's Museum of the Rockies.
"It's very exciting to see the work of so many people come together," said Charles Kankelborg, leader of the IRIS team at MSU. "A rocket launch like this is such a focal point and such a milestone.
"You know that things usually go just fine, but it's always very stressful, and you always worry," Kankelborg added. "It's always very exciting. The only satisfying way to enjoy it is to hold a party and invite a lot of people."
NASA will also offer the public several opportunities to follow the launch. Extensive prelaunch and launch day coverage will be available on NASA's home page. To view the IRIS webcast and launch blog and learn more about the mission, visit http://www.nasa.gov/iris.
MSU became involved with IRIS in 2007 after Kankelborg attended a solar physics meeting in Honolulu and long-time colleagues at Lockheed Martin approached him about collaborating. Kankelborg had come to MSU in 1996 from Stanford University where he earned his doctorate in physics. In 1998, he moved to Maryland and spent eight months at the Goddard Space Flight Center, which housed the operations center for another solar mission called the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE). During that time, before Kankelborg returned to Bozeman, TRACE was launched.
In the past six years, more than a dozen people at MSU have helped design and test optics that are part of the IRIS mission to answer some of the biggest questions about the sun, Kankelborg said.
Besides Kankelborg, the team includes program manager Larry Springer who worked at Lockheed Martin before coming to MSU. Other current or past participants are professor Joe Shaw, postdoctoral researchers Nathan Pust and Sarah Jaeggli, Keith Mashburn, Christy Dunn, Janet Glenn and Erica Lastifka. Angela Des Jardins, Randy Larimer and Joey Key in the Montana Space Grant Consortium organized education and outreach efforts, such as the recent National Student Solar Spectrograph competitionheld at MSU.
Stefan Eccles was an undergraduate student in physics when he joined the team, Kankelborg said. By the time he graduated in 2011, he had become such an expert at testing optics that he was invited to do the same during a summer at Lockheed Martin.
One of the biggest mysteries about the sun is why the corona is millions of degrees Celsius when a layer closer to the sun is much cooler, Kankelborg said. That layer, the photosphere, averages 6,000 degrees Celsius.
IRIS will focus on the layer between the photosphere and corona – the chromosphere. Expected to give the most detailed look ever of the sun's lower atmosphere or interface region, IRIS will observe how solar material moves, gathers energy and heats up as it travels through this largely unexplored region of the solar atmosphere. The interface region, located between the sun's visible surface and upper atmosphere, is where most of the sun's ultraviolet emission is generated. These emissions affect the Earth's climate and can interfere with satellite communications and the transmission of power.
IRIS will carry an eight-inch ultraviolet telescope, a spectrograph that contains MSU optics, and a "bus" carrying transmitters and batteries. It will fly 390 to 420 miles above Earth and pass over the poles every 90 minutes. The telescope is tentatively scheduled to open for the first time on July 17. The occasion, called "First Light," is the next big thing after the launch, Kankelborg said.
Once the telescope opens, it will transmit ultraviolet light to the spectrograph. The spectrograph will then split invisible light into wavelengths like a prism splits visible light. This allows scientists to identify physical processes and measure such things as solar temperatures, velocity and composition. At the same time, IRIS will take high-resolution photos of the sun. Scientists will then match the photos and images and analyze the results.
"IRIS data will fill a crucial gap in our understanding of the solar interface region upon joining our fleet of heliophysics spacecraft," Jeffrey Newmark, NASA'S IRIS program scientist, said in a NASA press release. "For the first time, we will have the necessary observations for understanding how energy is delivered to the million-degree outer solar corona and how the base of the solar wind is driven."
The satellite is the first mission designed to use an ultraviolet telescope to obtain high-resolution images and spectra every few seconds and provide observations of areas as small as 150 miles across the sun.
"Previous observations suggest there are structures in this region of the solar atmosphere 100 to 150 miles wide, but 100,000 miles long," Alan Title, IRIS principal investigator at Lockheed Martin, said in the NASA release. "Imagine giant jets like huge fountains that have a footprint the size of Los Angeles and are long enough and fast enough to circle Earth in 20 seconds.
"IRIS will provide our first high-resolution views of these structures along with information about their velocity, temperature and density," Title said.
IRIS is designed to operate for two years, but if it's like TRACE, it will operate much longer, Kankelborg said. TRACE was launched in 1998 and retired in 2010. It was designed to operate for eight months.
IRIS and TRACE are both part of NASA's Small Explorer (SMEX) Mission. The goal of the program is to provide frequent flight opportunities for world-class scientific investigations from space using innovative and efficient management approaches.
"It's an exciting program to work with," Kankelborg said. "The Small Explorer missions build up more quickly and generally they are lower-cost operations where you can get a lot of science done for relatively little money."
IRIS was about a $100 million mission. By comparison, interplanetary missions can cost more than $1 billion, Kankelborg said. He noted that there are cheaper interplanetary missions, such as the upcoming Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN). That mission is projected to cost half a billion.

I don't know where to post this, so I felt I'll probably get some bites on here.
I've been gnawing on this concept for a while now, and want to know what you guys feel about this. Christians say that God wrote the Bible. (Some say he himself didn't write it, but that he 'had' other people to write it for him, such as Moses and the other disciples). But what I don't get is that they say that God still exists to this very moment, yet the last time he 'spoke' to someone where they wrote scripture was 2000 years ago.
I do understand that if someone, such as our next door neighbor, wrote a book of scripture and said God told him/her to write it, that she/he would end up in a mental facility.
But still, why was the last time God spoke 2000 years ago? Both we atheists and some Christians who want to get away with 'sinning' state that the laws of God are outdated. Most of us wear cotton blends, a lot of us engage in premarital sex, we don't stone our deflowered daughters to death anymore.
Wouldn't the Big Man Upstairs have already updated his ancient encyclopedia? Wouldn't he talk about the history of Christianity through the Lost/Middle ages through to the present?
Views: 495
There are almost as many stupid excuses for this as there are Christians. One of the ones I've heard a lot is that he DOES talk to people all the time. That's the whole personal relationship with Christ nonsense.
I'm sure that their god isn't writing any more books of the bible though, because clearly, it's already complete and perfect and doesn't need anything added to it. Funny how I mostly hear this from people who haven't read the Bible.
Joseph, that is true. Read the damn thing and then I will listen to your first sentence to see if you got the point!
Oh! I didn't mean "you" I meant those who report they hear god.
Yeah, I was able to read through the glitch and figure out what you meant. No worries.
What's almost worse is the idiots who read the Bible and glaze over all of the insane stuff, because they're reading it through their God-is-all-good-and-anything-that-contradicts-that-is-just-too-wonderful-for-me-to-understand filter.
Jerica O'Hagan, you are right, if there were a god, he/she/it would have brought paperwork up-to-date, just to clean up all the contradictions. As to the old laws, from old and new books, they don't do anything to cause the human race or the planet to flourish. That is the test of a parenting system, do the children flourish? or an education system, do students flourish? or political systems, does the nation flourish? and economic systems, do they empower individuals and institutions to flourish?
The more talk I heard from candidates and voters the more I realized we still act as if god ordained policies and practices that prove to be flawed. Make your voice heard! You are on the right track!
If there was an omnipotent, omniscient god running things, you'd think there wouldn't be contradictions in the first place. He would find someone who could write it down correctly, the first time.
All religions claim that their scriptures were dictated by the God, the omnipotent must be impotent to know that he could not create a single religion so that at least it was one religion and one scripture. Secondly, if God wrote holy books how come they are not the same, as well why did God let Buddha create a religions which did not give any place to God in its scripture. So who is spreading lies God and His believers?
While we're on the subject of bat-shit, or as the British say, "barking mad," cults, I disagree with the premise. True, he no longer writes books (Papyrus Publishers must have went out of business). Now, he talks to people directly. Two of these cults promoting the tin can and string theory of communication come to mind. Evangelical Christians and Mor(m)ons.
The former run around, waving their arms in the air, and claim to get personal advice on such pressing problems as what to job to take, what car to buy, and whether the local high school football team will beat their cross town rivals. Rape, pedophilia, child starvation, genocide, well, not so important.
As to the latter, this seems to be the foundation of the cult. From 'Ole Joe Smith being told to have multiple wives, to Warren Jeffs being told that these brides should be pre-pubescent children, to the Lafferty brothers being told to slit the throats of their sister-in-law and 15 month old niece.
Instead of Abraham, Moses, and a long line of Popes, he's decided to skip the middle man and go right to his customer base.
If anyone asks me if I've talked to god lately, I say "no but I did have a little chat with the Easter Bunny yesterday".
Really, if you hear anyone say they are talking to god, be very very careful with them. They are dangerous, think suicide bomber.
On the main point of this discussion, if I were god, I sure wouldn't have asked some ancient desert goat herder to write my book for me. They really don't know who wrote any of it. Much of it is a conglomeration of old traditions from that part of the world.
Jerica, I think you would really enjoy the book by Bart Ehrman called Misquoting Jesus.
Excellent book. For those of us having eye problems, videos are available; Bart Ehrman gives a lecture at Stanford.

or Google for other versions.
How many Christian Denominations are there?
For your pleasure, take a look at the above article from Wikipedia. Their estimate is 41,000. And why should there be so many denominations? I think it's obvious. Every Christian has their own personal invisible imaginary pretend friend and he (it's always a he) is telling each of them something different. Think about it. This is one of the reasons it's so hard to talk to them about specific things until you find out first what that individual believes. Otherwise they may just say "well, I don't believe that part". And it still makes sense to them, somehow . . . I don't know. It's hard even to find two people in the same church that believe everything exactly the same.

text: Students in Becky Lewis' kindergarten class at Dewey School took a moment to hang up their coats as they entered the classroom this morning (Monday). The temperature was in the low 30s at the start of school, slightly warmer than the overnight low of 27 degrees — the coldest since March. Today's high was expected to reach 65. The rest of the week should see highs in the 60s. Tonight's low is forecast for 35 degrees.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — There is evidence of deep-seated cultural and ethical failures at many large U.S. banks, a top Federal Reserve official said Thursday.
William Dudley, the president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, said many large financial institutions display an "apparent lack of respect for law, regulation, and the public trust."
In remarks at the New York University School of Law, Dudley called for a "cultural shift" at the big banks to restore public trust in the industry.
The New York Fed president said that he hoped government efforts to end the too-big-to-fail culture and shift bank focus to longer-term sustainability would foster the needed change. Tough enforcement and high penalties would help focus management's attention to the issue, he added.
Dudley didn't name any banks in his speech. But his tough language is remarkable, as the president of the New York Fed historically has been a voice for Wall Street and the financial sector in Washington policy debates.
'It's about time," said William Cohan, a former investment banker and author of books about Wall Street, including "Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World." "You never saw Tim Geithner be outspoken in his criticisms of Wall Street."
Still, he and others noted that regulators are hardly innocent, and some found Dudley's comments disingenuous, considering how regulators have been accused of overlooking previous bank lapses. The revolving door between regulators and the banks they're overseeing is also controversial. Dudley himself is a former partner at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS, -1.11% Jamie Dimon, CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, +0.05% , was also on the board of the New York Fed until last year. The former chairman of the New York Fed, Stephen Friedman, stepped down in 2009 amid controversy about his own ties to Goldman, where he worked for decades and served on the board until this year.
Earlier Thursday, Bloomberg reported that Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has warned banks that the final Volcker rule ban on proprietary trading would be tougher than Wall Street expects.
If Dudley's speech and Lew's warning underscore a hardening of regulators' attitudes, it comes at a time when the banking industry's public image has been scorched by continual legal and regulatory problems. J.P. Morgan is in the spotlight as it hammers out a settlement with the Justice Department that could eventually total $13 billion, much of it related to mortgages the bank made and packaged before the financial crisis. Regulators around the world have also started looking into whether big banks conspired to fix foreign-exchange trading prices, and regulators have already wrangled settlements out of some banks over accusations related to manipulating the Libor interest rate.
"The New York Fed is either incapable of overseeing institutions this big, thus leading to these lapses, or has turned a blind eye," said Joshua Rosner, managing director of Graham Fisher & Co. Inc. "Either way, one has to begin to question whether the problem is with the institution or the Fed."
Some observers think that regulators' change of heart comes because they're aware that many crimes they want to prosecute are fast approaching the end of their five-year statute of limitations.
Mark Williams, a former Fed bank examiner, called Dudley's remarks Thursday "remarkable and aggressive."
"What's very interesting is, this is a conservative organization," said Williams, who is now at Boston University. "And it's clear with these comments that the Fed is saying, 'We are now actually going to aggressively police and regulate the banks,' which is something that the Fed probably didn't do a good job of for the last decade."
In his speech at NYU, Dudley said it was difficult to judge where the ethical lapses stem from. He said it could be due to size and complexity, or bad incentives.
He also said that the federal government must complete work on a credible program to allow large financial firms to fail without damaging the financial system. Early warning systems must be put in place, he added, to lower the risk of failure in the first place.
"Early intervention is likely to be much more successful in preventing failure as compared with last-ditch efforts," Dudley said.
The New York Fed president said he doesn't support more radical steps that would break up the banks or reinstate the Glass-Steagall law that separated commercial banks from investment banking activities.

Caterpillar yesterday became the latest corporate giant to warn about the grim outlook for the global economy.
Facing slowing demand for heavy machinery, Caterpillar slashed its 2015 earnings forecast and said next year would parallel the stalled progress seen this year.
Caterpillar did not go as far as to predict a recession. Yet, the alarm sounded clear, coming amid a flurry of downbeat comments from other bellwether firms, like FedEx and Norfolk Southern. The global expanse of these business allow them to offer a snapshot of how countries fare globally. Their remarks underscore the anxiety of corporate America and underline worries that the world economy is slowing, weighed down by political uncertainty in Europe and America and curtailed growth in China.
"We've seen a slowing in economic growth," CEO Doug Oberhelman said yesterday at a meeting of analysts and investors. "We see fairly anemic and modest growth through 2015."
Shares of Caterpillar fell 1.5% to $89.50. "It is too soon to expect a recovery and the conditions are slowly falling into place," says Miller Tabak economist Andrew Wilkinson. "However, investors are rightly questioning both how long this process will take and what else needs to fall into place before returning confidence lends support to their decision to head back into equities."
For sure, companies do not often make forecasts so far in advance, but Caterpillar, the world's largest maker of construction and mining equipment, is already on the defensive. It must contend with reduced capital expenditures by mining companies and questions about a $7.6 billion deal that was the largest in industry history. Competitors include Deere and Cummins.
The biggest problem ahead, Oberhelman said, was how China would respond to declining growth. Chinese GDP is still expected to expand by more than 7% this year. Yet that is far removed from the growth seen only a few years ago. "I would put that at the top of the list," he said of China. "I really believe that the U.S. is in a gradual period of recovery, and some of that will play out certainly into early next year when we see some political uncertainty removed."
Oberhelman's comments suggest that little will be done in 2013, while some healing occurs in 2014 and 2015, says Credit Suisse analyst Jamie Cook. Caterpillar now expects to earn $12 to $18 a share in 2015, down from a previously forecast range of $15 to $20 a share. "The new forecast is assuming that there is moderate world economic growth. Should the macro turn out better, Caterpillar believes that the previous earnings per share forecast of $15-$20 is still achievable," says Cook.

Hotdog! Hooray! Shazam!
Hotdog! Hooray! Shazam! They�ve posted the 2014 World Series of Poker tournament schedule for the annual Vegas shindig.
The games run from late May thru mid-July each year, but until I have a date-certain target for �my� tournament, I can�t make solid room and flight plans.
When dates get posted, I always write essentially the same column. Anybody not caring about poker in general or the Las Vegas World Series of Poker in particular shouldn�t waste time reading further.
I just heard thousands of newspaper pages turn so my audience has probably shrunk to a half-dozen or so folks, therefore we�ll just have a little �face-to-face� conversation. To say I enjoy this annual trek is gross understatement.
This year will be my fifth consecutive. I�m still upset it took me until 2010 to finally make the leap. And adding insult to injury, it was truly more of a hop than leap. Oh my, I should�ve done it sooner.
I�ve always enjoyed playing the game, even watching WSOP and WPT events on television. But like most �regular� folk, I assumed those players to be oh so much better than little old me. I was drop-dead wrong.
When I finally decided to give it a go, I registered and sent in my money. The $1,000 seems a chunk of change for pleasure, but if you�ve ever played golf or done any serious fishing, you know it�s not all that.
On the appointed day at the Rio, I bellied up to the �will call� desk for my seat assignment. I was given my entry package without fanfare and that was that. Perfect.
I located my table and seat without any problem. The numbers are posted over each table so there�s no confusion whatsoever.
Amazingly I cashed that first year. Go figure. I did nothing special or smart but simply tried to play a decent game of poker as best I could. Nobody around the tables seemed all that special.
Success is always a mixture of some skill and a jigger or two of luck. That reality applies to me and you and every other player.
Whether you cash or not, the WSOP production is a spectacular show of efficiency and organization. If you enjoy the game, you should definitely chase down this experience.
�My� tournament of choice is the seniors event for 50 and older folks. It�s a wonderful mix of 4,000-plus ladies and gentlemen virtually void of jabbering, tattoos, sunglasses, earrings or theatrics.
If you�re interested, you should explore WSOP.com for schedules and costs. You can also print out by name, city and state of those attending last year. You�ll be surprised at how many local good old boys are in attendance.
All during the play days, you get plenty of breaks and freedom to leave the table anytime. In fact, I generally �break� a few minutes early to avoid long bathroom lines.
I strongly suggest anybody who has harbored a desire to play to go ahead and launch. It�s a wonderful and very smooth ride. You won�t regret the adventure.
Otis Gardner�s column appears weekly. He can be reached at email@example.com.

I love writing soooo much <3
I'm not kidding. I thought I really sucked at writing, but that was because I only wrote informational and persuasive essays in school. One day it struck me to write about one of my dreams and it was great. I write about anything now, although I prefer something narrative in comparison to informational and persuasive.
"God bless the cactuses!" -Wilfred (Doctor Who)
Ohhh!~ That's quite interesting. I'd enjoy reading one of your stories!
I love writing but I never get to finish any because I get so many new ideas I wanna start on! So basically, I have a bunch of stories but none are done haha. My stories are usually either fantasy, horror, mystery, psychological, or a mix of those. They all have a dash of comedy in there somewhere though, gotta have some lightheartedness, am I right or am I right? Most of my stories are dark and were called 'gothic' on occasion . I suck at writing romance despite it being my favorite genre to read! The romance I add is usually just hinted with the rest being left up to the readers imagination. I daydream more about my own stories than I actually write, though! Haha. Which reminds me, I should really get to work on one of my neglected stories right about now .
You're officially my bitch. ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ
I write my own original fiction; I'm currently in the process of writing a 7-book Fantasy epic called Hellfire Catharsis right now.
...Except I'm too lazy to ever actually finish it :V
Currently writing a story called, "Chosha no Koutougakkou" and you can read it on the links below. I mainly write fiction, Sci-Fi and fanfiction. They are mainly on my website but posted online in FictionPress and FanFiction. Some of you might have allready read them. Enjoy.

I write for fun. The passion came around seventh grade, so I have been writing on-and-off for eight years. I mostly do fantasy and psuedo-science fiction novels (original works, not fan fiction). You know, average young adult things. I am trying to be more consistent in writing, but it is hard to sit down and write when the whole story is in your mind, but you have to sit down for weeks or months at a time to make it come to life.
Time to move on. Start with a to-do list and go from there.
Yes. I do.
[No information available]
I do. I love to write. Written more than a couple stories for Bleach, and yeah, they mostly revolve around my favourite pairings. The theme that I use most often is friendship, with a little bit of romance on the side, and of course, there must be drama in it. Haha, my writings are nothing futuristic, because it's not my forte - mine is more of the normal, everyday life kind of fiction. I also put in some sort of humor in my writing, I try to be funny although sometimes the joke might not come across as I originally intended it to. Lol.
But yeah, I enjoy creative writing.
experimenting things~
Only when I lie.
Don't lie to me.
I am very much into literature, and I like to write original literary fiction works. I used to write a lot of poetry, but now I'm into the short story form.
I wanted to be physicist, it's what I'd love to do. However, as much as I love math, I have a lot of difficulty with it. Therefore, I have decided to minor in math and major in English/literature (whichever) so that I may become a professor one day
I basically write fanfictions to my favorite shows or make one up out of the fly, its normally romance...
Watchin' anime as usual
Does this count???
Kuudere - Visit my Youtube channel
I write when I'm bored. I tend to write about fantasy worlds or ethics problem like why might the Holocaust happen and why it might happen again, not necessarily against the Jewish. Or the general perception of the world or WWIII
I write stories all the time. currently i have about 5 different ones im working one
I have too many ideas at once.
I have a reboot story, a sonic fanfiction, several anime style stories and even a whole new justice league universe story.
I have worked on several rvb psas as well as an actually story. (It was done before the freelancer arc so there are major errors now but it was still fun to write).
Once I get enough cr, I'll post them. I hope you all enjoy them.
i write stories

President and CEO of AT&T Mobility, Ralph de la Vega, was interviewed on CNBC recently answering questions surrounding both AT&T's latest financial report and the rumoured iPhone 5. One would ask, "what has this got to do with Windows Phone?" Well, nothing. But what's both humorous and surprising is Vega holds up a shiny new Lumia 900 instead of discussing the iPhone.
Check out the above video, at around the 7:40 mark. He jokes around the questions being fired by the reporters and states that the Lumia 900 is a fantastic device and carries one around with him as a daily smartphone. We're aware that Nokia has a deal with AT&T for employees to exclusively use the 4G Windows Phone, but it's good to see the captain of the ship actively promoting it on public television.

I was on a routine visit to the UB Archives when I observed a young woman at the receptionist's desk carefully handling a handwritten musical score, her gloved hands gingerly sorting through the pile of fragile papers. Curious, I asked the woman (who turned out to be Gabrielle Carlo, a musician and student assistant pursuing a master's degree in library science) about the papers. She told me they were scores for voice and organ that had belonged to Samuel Luskin, the long-serving choir director at Temple Beth El in Tonawanda, N.Y., who died in 1959. Luskin's collection of scores, notebooks, correspondence and what Gabrielle called "special objects" recently came to UB in a joint program with the Jewish Buffalo Archives Project.
As we chatted, Gabrielle suddenly held up an old-fashioned key with a rounded head that had also belonged to Luskin. "Where does this lead to and what does it mean?" she wondered aloud. Somewhat akin to Harry Potter's winged key (though a little less ornate), it provoked in my mind the image of unlocking a previously unexplored world. Unable to dislodge these thoughts, I found myself researching it later.
Luskin's key may have opened an arc containing the Torah, as some have speculated, or perhaps it led to an unknown repository of his other musical compositions. Either explanation is plausible: Luskin spent much of his life composing and arranging music, both religious and secular. And he helped generations of boys prepare for their bar mitzvahs. But maybe the purpose was more prosaic. Perhaps the key opened an old clock or unlocked a strong box containing his insurance policies. Clues to the key's significance may be hidden in the four other boxes that remain to be sorted. In the meantime, Gabrielle told me a few days after our visit, she savors the mystery.
I thought a lot about Luskin's key, and how it might serve as a metaphor for unlocking our own sensibilities, as we embarked on redesigning our magazine. It's been almost a year since we began planning the redesign. During our dozens of team meetings, we endeavored to reveal what is essential to developing more compelling content for our readers. If our symbolic key worked, you'll see our new reader-centric approach reflected in our features and in regularly occurring departments. One of these departments, Objectology, takes an object associated with UB and either deconstructs it into its component parts or shows its evolution, as with our lighthearted depiction of the UB mascot's head.
Still, the whole is more than the sum of its parts. As with Luskin's vintage key, a certain mystery may always remain.

Posting images on MagicSeaweed.
A few folk have asked recently about posting images in threads on the forum, here's a quick little guide for all the noobs out there who can get their wettie on the right way round but can't post an image in a thread for toffee.
Magic Seaweed doesn't host images unless you upload them in the photos section of the main site - that section is really only for surf related images, sometimes you may find you want to post other images but can't link to them online, this is one way you can save them and post them.
Step 1. Get yourself an account on an image sharing site such as Flickr, Photobucket, Image Shack, Kodak Easy Share, this is just an example list, others can be found here --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ph ... g_websites.
Step 2. Download and install Microsoft's Powertoy image resizer if you have a Windows operating system on your computer
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/Down ... rtoys.mspx
There are other re-size tools available, Win7 has one embedded if you right click on an image on your pc.
Step 3. Find your images and either resize as required and then upload or just upload them direct to your chosen photo/image sharing site, you can do this with Facebook photos too.
Step 4. Go open one of your photos online, now comes the hard part, in Flickr, if you just copy the web address of the page which has your image on it, all you are creating is a link to the page, it will not display the actual image. What you need to do is hover your mouse over the image and then right click your mouse. Go down to the properties in the little menu that comes up and click on that, you will get a pop-up with the properties for the image you are looking at. You now need to copy the address of the actual image itself, most sites store images as .jpg or .JPEG, you want to look for this image that ends with that or a similar extension like .tif or .TIFF.
In Facebook, just right click on the image (or CMD Click on in OSX), select "copy image location".
Step 5. Open a post on MSW or hit reply on a thread, add whatever text you feel you have to get off your chest and then look at the icons above the text area for the post. You will see an icon which says Img, click on this, in the text of your post you will see two tags appear [img]&[/img], the cursor will be flashing between them. You need to paste the address you got in step 4 BETWEEN the tags, this tells the forum software that you are linking to an image and to display that image as such.
Step 6. Click on PREVIEW, you will see your post and the carefully chosen, cropped, uploaded and tagged picture you wanted so badly to share with the world.

Hayate: Oh Viita's fallen sleep.
Shamal: It's because ate so much and crawled on the sofa with Hayate so quickly.
Hayate: We shouldn't wake her. Signum could you carry her to bed?
Signum: Of course.
Hayate: I'll be outside in the yard a bit.
Shamal: It's cold out. Here's a jacket.
Hayate: Thank you. You wanna come to, Yami no Sho? Oh the stars are beautiful tonight. You've been alive for a real long time and seen lots of night skies haven't you, Yami no sho? How are the stars of this world? Are they beautiful as the one's in the past? You know, I can feel that your existence is starting to grow within me, Yami no sho. It like I'm becoming one with you. But, it's not as if the pages are being collected. Of course not, I made Signum promise me after all. You know, I don't really mind if my legs or body don't recover at all. I'm sorry to say to Ishida-sensei but I don't think I'll get better. I don't mind living too long either. If those children didn't come to me, I would have been alone otherwise. But those children... Signum, Shamal, Viita and Zafira, really need me. So as long as they need me, I won't break or die. That's an absolute promise. Because I am, yours and everyone's master after all
Shamal: Hayate-chan, you'll catch a cold. Let's get inside.
Hayate: Okay.
Signum: I shall come over.
Hayate: My light is fading away slowly and gives way to the light of the night sky. (not exactly translated well)
Signum: Hm?
Hayate; Oh it's nothing.
Shamal: Is that... so?
Hayate: Even if the light of the stars disappear into the darkness, I will fulfill my responsibility as master of the Yami no sho until the end. We won't bother anyone. Or get in anyone's way. I just want to give my children who have given me such joy, greater joy in return. So please. God or the devil, please leave us be.

Another 50 from me. This SS alone gives us much insight on her inner strength, and why Reinforce wasn't able to put her to sleep.
This should have been included in the anime. Sigh .
Though I'm surprised she really didn't know about the Knights' nightly activities.

The folks from 2ch have posted the lyrics of SECRET AMBITION, the OP of StrikerS. Since the CD has not yet been released, this is only transcribed from the Mizuki Nana's performance in the 07 concert.
Given the high correlation between the OP theme and the story in the last two seasons, maybe we should make good use of the lyrics to do some guessings on the plot?

The song is pretty good in general. I wouldn't go so far to say that it's awesomeness is off-the-charts, but at least I think it's better than the A's OP. Though frankly, even if we ignore the lyrics (( I'm bad at translating lyrics to coherent meanings )) this song is soooo made for an OP it's not even funny.
There's the pre-anime title spots with the instrumental+vocal build-up, the step-by-step imagery style of character introduction in OP through the subtle change in vocal motion in the beginning, the action-in-OP sequences with the vocal build-up part, the high-speed character flashing spots, the slower-character momental OP spot and the standard ending part of an OP song. Generic, but it works.

I personally think the echos in the mp3 sort of spoilt the overall goodness of the song. It's good but take away the echos and it'll be better.
If so, anticipation for StrikerS just got higher for me. I just love dark plots .

Anyway the interpretation of the lyrics will probably be drastically different between different people. Maybe other moonspeakers arond can share their thoughts on the lyrics as well?

CHICAGO (AP) — An autopsy on the body of a Loyola University student found in Lake Michigan has failed to determine the cause of death.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office says Friday's autopsy was inconclusive pending further studies.
Twenty-five-year-old Christopher Evans was pulled from Chicago's Belmont Harbor early Thursday.
Evans was last seen running toward the lake in a North Side neighborhood early Sunday.
His friends have told police they last saw him after going to a tavern and he seemed agitated.
Evans was a part-time student at Loyola. He was enrolled in the MBA program in the Quinlan School of Business. He was also a financial analyst at Loyola in the Financial Services Office.

Long before the Rochester Academy of Medicine was formed, local and regional medical societies played many-faceted roles in the communities they served. In defining who could become members, medical societies sought to establish standards for the medical profession within its community, extending even to medical ethics and physicians' fees. They were central to what would later be termed "continuing medical education," scheduling lectures on a wide variety of topics by members or by physicians outside the community of national and international reputation. They maintained libraries of books and periodicals for the use of members, which in many instances were the only organized collection of medical literature available to local physicians. Medical societies were often central to defining and reacting to local health issues, whether responding to epidemics or lobbying for or against public health initiatives. Medical societies also had a purely social role, and the friendships formed among members often translated into better professional relations and a unified response to national, state and local issues.
Prince Street building of the Rochester Academy of Medicine, 1935
The preliminary organizational meeting of the Rochester Academy of Medicine was held on 26 June 1899. Twenty-three physicians were in attendance. The Academy was not the city's first professional medical association. The Rochester Medical Society had possibly been the earliest, the record of which survives in a single volume of minutes and a treasurer's account book preserved in the Miner Library. Nor was the Academy alone in organizing the local medical profession. In a letter dated 16 March 1915 from David B. Jewett, M.D., secretary of the Rochester Medical Association, to E.L. Hanes, secretary of the Academy, Jewett describes Rochester's existing medical societies: the Rochester Medical Association (est. 1914); the Rochester Pathological Society (est. 1871); the Rochester Academy of Medicine; the Hospital Medical Society; the Homoeopathic Society; and the Blackwell Medical Society, the women's professional association. The Rochester Pediatric Society would be formed in 1925. Local physicians often belonged to one or more of these societies, as well as to their state and national associations.
The Rochester Academy of Medicine received its preliminary charter from the Regents of the University of the State of New York in February 1900, and its absolute charter in May 1929. The Academy held its meetings in several locations before acquiring its own building at 15 Prince St. in 1923. In 1939 the Academy moved into the greatly expanded Lyon home at 1441 East Ave., its present location. The records of the Rochester Academy of Medicine in the Edward G. Miner Library are divided into four series: I. Minutes (11 vols.); II. Other records (3 vols.); III. Scrapbooks (37 vols.); and IV. Photographs and photographic portraits of members (7 boxes). A box of miscellaneous documents added after the collection was initially processed constitutes Box 8. The collection occupies twenty-two linear feet.
Rochester Academy of Medicine on East Avenue, 1939
The earliest decades of the Academy's operations are reflected in the eleven volumes of minutes preserved in the collection. These volumes record the monthly and annual meetings of the entire membership from 1899 to 1942, as well as meetings of each of the Academy's four sections: I. Medicine (1905-1924); II. Surgery (1900-1922); III. Obstetrics & Gynecology (1900-1926); and IV. Public Health (1906?-1923). Minutes for the Council (1900-1928), Board of Trustees (1929-1938) and Library Committee (1921-1940) are also included in this series.
The minutes include not only the secretary's record of each meeting, but summaries or transcripts of lectures delivered at the meetings and accounts of the discussion that followed. They also include treasurer's reports, trustee's reports and library committee reports; lists of the general membership and membership of each section; printed cards announcing meetings and other print ephemera; and occasional correspondence pertaining to Academy business.
Laying the cornerstone for renovation of the East Ave. building
The thirty-seven scrapbooks in the collection are continuous between 1917 and May 1976. The earlier scrapbooks contain printed ephemera (e.g., meeting announcements, programs, dinner menus, etc.), as well as selected pieces of correspondence, some photographs, and newspaper clippings. The scrapbooks compiled post-1935 contain less ephemera, and as the years progress, consist almost entirely of newspaper clippings. The clippings pertain not only to news of the Academy in the local press, but to medical matters generally in Rochester and Monroe County.
Interior view of the East Ave. building in 1939
The photographic portraits of members in the collection were taken at two different periods. Most of the prints in the earlier series were taken circa 1900-1920 and appear to commemorate to the original members of the Academy. These prints were later mounted on a large sheet (or sheets) of brown board half a centimeter in thickness that must have been on display at the Academy. At some point in time, the photographs, still attached to the thick brown board(s), were cut into individual portraits. The second series of portraits, perhaps an attempt to photograph the entire membership, seems to have been taken between the mid-1940s and the early 1950s.

Apheresis and Specimen Collection Procedures to Obtain Plasma Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) and Other Specimens for Research Studies
Brief description of study
This study collects specimens from volunteers for use in studies by NIAID's Vaccine Research Center. A number of different types of specimens or samples can be collected, including blood, urine, body fluids or secretions, skin swabs, or skin biopsies. The samples are used for medical research, including the study of HIV, hepatitis, and other diseases; immune system responses, such as responses to vaccinations or infections; and for research on vaccine development.
Blood samples may be collected either by ordinary blood drawing (phlebotomy) or by apheresis, a procedure for collecting a larger quantity of blood cells or plasma than would be possible through simple blood drawing. For this procedure, the subject lies on a recliner or couch. Blood is removed through a needle in the vein of one arm and spun in a machine that separates out the desired component (plasma or white blood cells). The remainder of the blood is returned either through the same needle or through a needle in the other arm. The procedure takes about 1 to 3 hours.
Volunteers who are 18 years of age and older, including participants in other NIH research protocols, may be eligible. Individuals who have a condition that the research staff considers a reason not to make a sample donation will be excluded from the study.
Participants may have only one sample collected or may be asked to undergo repetitive sample collection procedures, depending upon the requirements of the particular research project for which the samples are being collected. Each individual's enrollment is for a 1-year period, which can be extended.
Detailed Study Description
Protocol Design: This protocol is designed to perform collection of human specimens, such as blood, mucosal secretions, skin swabs, skin biopsy, or body fluids to support research studies. These samples will be used by laboratory researches in their work on the development of vaccines for HIV and other infectious diseases, to study the correlates of immunity related to infectious diseases and in laboratory work related to the development and/or validation of immunological assays.
In order to carry out research studies, it is often necessary to obtain larger quantities of plasma or mononuclea cells than can be safely obtained by simple phlebotomy. These components can be safely obtained using apheresis procedures in the Apheresis Clinic of the Clinical Center Department of Transfusion Medicine (DTM). The aphereses performed through this protocol conform to the requirements of the DTM Apheresis Clinic.
Subjects: Volunteers, at least 18 years old, (including participants in other NIH research studies) who agree to donate specimens for research purposes.
Protocol Plan: Subjects will receive information about study procedures and, if willing to participate, will sign the informed consent. The informed consent can be used for as long as one year. If there is an ongoing willingness to donate samples the subject must sign a new consent and have eligibility confirmed at least once per year.
Duration: Individual subjects may donate samples as often as permitted by the protocol. The protocol will undergo continuing review by the IRB annually and remain open if approved and there continues to be a need for plasma or PBMC samples obtained by apheresis or other types of specimens in support of research studies.
Endpoints: This protocol does not have an analysis plan but rather will be conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practices for human research solely for the purpose of obtaining samples for research laboratories. Samples will be identified only by protocol identification number. Subject data, such as demographic information, aspects of medical history, laboratory parameters, recent immunizations or medications, HLA type, genetic tests and other medical information may be provided (identified by study number, but not subject name) to researchers if needed to support the objectives of the laboratory research.

Republican Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama are tied, with each polling at 47 percent in a Granite State showdown, according to a Suffolk University/7NEWS survey of likely voters in that swing state.
Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson received 2 percent; and 4 percent were undecided.
"Although New Hampshire offers only four electoral votes in the presidential sweepstakes, it may be an important state for both candidates to actively campaign in," said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston. "It would be especially worthwhile for Obama, given that his job approval-disapproval number also is fixed at 47 percent."
President Obama is scheduled to appear in Manchester this coming Thursday.
When a subset of 30 undecided and Gary Johnson respondents were given the choice between Romney or Obama only, Romney led 47 percent to 13 percent, with 40 percent remaining undecided.
"Politics is full of ironies. Gary Johnson voters are predisposed to voting against the incumbent president, but Johnson's presence on the New Hampshire presidential ballot is actually helping Obama," said Paleologos. "Those anti-incumbent voters – at least right now – aren't finding their way to Mitt Romney."
Obama led 50 percent to 46 percent among women but trailed Romney 49 percent to 43 percent among men.
Geographically, Romney showed strength in the state's two largest New Hampshire counties, with leads of 46 percent to 43 percent in Hillsborough County and 54 percent to 43 percent in Rockingham County. These were counties where Romney also scored highest during the Republican Primary in January. Obama bested Romney 51 percent to 45 percent in the other eight New Hampshire counties combined.
Obama has edge on favorability
Obama remains more personally popular than Romney, with a 50 percent favorable-44 percent unfavorable rating, compared to 48 percent favorable-46 percent unfavorable for the former Massachusetts governor.
Forty-eight percent of voters said that they connected better with Obama, compared to 44 percent for Romney. The president was projected to be better at handling foreign policy (46 percent) than Romney (42 percent). Romney was seen as the candidate who had the best plan to fix the economy (Romney 45 percent-Obama 42 percent).
Of those polled, 70 percent watched the televised vice-presidential debate on Oct. 11. Of these New Hampshire viewers, 43 percent said Joe Biden won; 42 percent selected Paul Ryan; and 15 percent were undecided.
N.H. governor's race
In the New Hampshire gubernatorial race, Democrat Maggie Hassan (41 percent) led Republican Ovide Lamontagne (38 percent), while Libertarian John Babiarz received 4 percent, and 16 percent were undecided.
N.H. economy
Twenty-seven percent of likely voters saw the New Hampshire economy as improving over the last four years, while 35 percent said it has stayed the same, and 32 percent indicated it has gotten worse.
Nearly three in four voters (74 percent) would oppose a state sales tax in New Hampshire. However, 64 percent would support a mandatory seat belt law.
Forty-nine percent opposed cutting federal funding for public broadcasting– a measure Romney has proposed– while 36 percent would support a cut, and 15 percent were undecided.
The statewide survey of 500 likely New Hampshire voters was conducted Oct. 12-14, 2012, using live telephone interviews of landline and cell phone users. The margin of error is +/-4.4 percent at a 95 percent level of confidence. Marginals and full cross-tabulation data are available on the Suffolk University Political Research Center Web site. For more information, contact David Paleologos at 781-290-9310.

A bipartisan group of senators introduced a bill last week that would require the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) to improve health care for women veterans. According to the summary of the Women Veterans Health Care Improvement Act (see PDF), there are 1.7 million women veterans today, a number that is estimated to double in the next five years.
Women veterans face disproportionate effects of Military Sexual Trauma (MST), the difficulties with child birth, and functioning as care-givers after military service. The proposed legislation would require the VA and the Department of Defense to study and assess women veterans' physical, mental, and reproductive health needs. The bill would also require that each VA facility have at least one women's health expert on staff.
Senator Jay Rockefeller said in a press release, "For decades women have served with great distinction in our armed services, including on the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet, when they return home and begin to receive medical care through the VA they encounter a system that is better equipped to deal with the needs of men. It's long past time to fix that. Our legislation would require the VA to implement new standards of care to better meet the needs of women who are quickly filling our veteran ranks."

UK arrested Tommy Robinson for reporting child-rape gangs that the government caters to. The UK banned reporting of his arrest, denied him a lawyer, and is trying to have him assassinated in prison. Regardless of how you feel about his views, this is a totalitarian government.
Tommy Robinson isn't the first to that the UK has jailed after a secret trial. Melanie Shaw tried to expose child abuse in a Nottinghamshire kids home -- it wasn't foreigners doing the molesting, but many members of the UK's parliament. The government kidnapped her child and permanently took it away. Police from 3 forces have treated her like a terrorist and themselves broken the law. Police even constantly come by to rob her phone and money. She was tried in a case so secret the court staff had no knowledge of it. Her lawyer, like Tommy's, wasn't present. She has been held for over 2 years in Peterborough Prison. read, read

Chrysaora quinquecirrha (Desor, 1848), commonly known as the Atlantic sea nettle or East Coast sea nettle, is broadly dispersed in tepid waters along the coasts of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, as well as the Western Pacific. Along the United States east coast this species is common to abundant from southern New England to as far south as Brazil. In Virginia waters these jellies first appear in May, and usually vanish around September, though some occasionally remain well into November.
Biogeographic Regions: indian ocean; atlantic ocean (Native ); pacific ocean (Introduced )
