Skip to comments.Is Obama Really a Shoo-in?
Posted on 04/11/2011 10:05:37 AM PDT by IbJensen
In an article for the NY Post, my friend, historian Ronald Radosh, informed the world that NYU was hosting a six-hour conference devoted to "Academic Freedom in the 1960s." On the face of it, it sounds like the sort of boring event where most of us are relieved not to know any of the participants, thus freeing us of any obligation to attend.
But, according to Radosh, all of the speakers are leftists. Among them are historian Ellen Schrecker, who has argued that while many of those accused of spying for the Soviet Union during the Cold War were guilty, "they did not subscribe to traditional forms of patriotism" and because they were acting on behalf of a cause in which they believed, they weren't "betraying their country."
And let us never forget that Lillian Hellman once rushed into a New York cocktail party and breathlessly announced, "We've been invaded." She was referring to Hitler's double-crossing Stalin and attacking the Soviet Union.
Another speaker at the NYU event is Prof. H. Bruce Franklin, who wrote in his book, "The Essential Stalin," that "I used to think of Joseph Stalin as a tyrant and butcher who jailed and killed millions But to about a billion people today, Stalin is the opposite of what we in the capitalist world have been programmed to believe .To these people, Stalin is one of the greatest heroes of modern history, a man who personally helped win the liberation of the people of China, Vietnam, North Korea and Albania."
Can you imagine how many years of scholarship it took this moron to conclude that the people in those countries are liberated? Not too surprisingly, the author's biography for the Stalin book describes Franklin as "a revolutionary who is also a professor of English." In which persona do you imagine Prof. Franklin engages his students?
Folks, these are the people indoctrinating your children. And what's more, many of you well-meaning ninnies have mortgaged your futures to help pay their salaries.
Closer to home, I recently received an announcement that the Writers Guild of America was hosting a panel discussion devoted to the topic of global warming. Not a debate, understand, but a five-member panel of pinheads who, even after the exposure of the East Anglia hoax and when even the most devout members of Al Gore's cult have begun referring to "climate change" to account for the cooling that has been taking place over the past decade, my guild insists on proudly proclaiming its ignorant fanaticism.
Recently, I was forwarded an article allegedly written by Dr. Walter Williams. After looking into it, I couldn't find any evidence that he was the guilty party. In a way, I was disappointed because I occasionally like to call out a fellow conservative just to prove that I value principles over partisanship. But in another way, I was sorry to think that someone I admire as much as Dr. Williams could be so goofy.
That being said, someone actually wrote an article, "No Matter What," which is being widely circulated, in which the writer contends that Obama cannot be defeated in 2012. He actually insisted that regardless of who the Republican nominee is, no matter what the unemployment rate is, no matter the price of gas, no matter the economy, no matter the situation in the Middle East, Obama can't lose.
He bases all this on what he regards as simple math. He begins by stating that blacks and college-educated women will vote for Obama. He adds that liberals, Democrats, Hispanics, union members, Big Business, the media, Jews, Muslims, American Indians, homosexuals and, finally, a majority of Independents, will also troop out on Election Day to deliver their votes.
To which I say, with all due respect, hogwash! It's true that blacks will bestow 90% of their votes on Obama. They'd also give 90% of their votes to Bill Maher, Joy Behar or Bugs Bunny, for that matter, if he had a (D) after his name.
College-educated single women will vote for Obama. If they're married, it's far less likely.
By separately listing liberals, Democrats and blacks, the author of the piece is counting the same people two or three times. As I understand it, unless they happen to live in Illinois or Minnesota, those clucks only get to vote once.
Hispanics did give two-thirds of their votes to Obama. But if you subtract California from the total, it's much closer to 50-50, and there's no reason to believe that Obama will do as well the second time around.
Union members, Jews and homosexuals, have all been accounted for under the headings of Democrats, liberals and college-educated women. It would be like my insisting that Obama is sure to lose because Republicans, conservatives, right-wingers and Tea Party members will all vote against him.
Big Business and the media supported Obama in 2008, but he was still trailing McCain six weeks before the election, and would have lost to the worst campaigner since Michael Dukakis if the economy had waited two more months before tanking.
When it comes to American Indians, I guess this fellow has a point because, as we all know, as the Cherokees go, so goes the nation.
While I don't know which tea leaves the fellow has been reading, every poll I've seen indicates that at least 20% of the Independents who went for Obama in 2008 have no intention of repeating that boneheaded mistake in 2012.
If whoever wrote "No Matter What" gets in touch with me, I'm quite willing to make a wager that Obama will be dethroned in 2012.
Finally, I certainly hope that Obama and Defense Secretary Gates mean it when they say that America will have no boots on the ground in Libya.
In what is possibly a related news item, the Pentagon recently requisitioned 200,000 pairs of moccasins.
Hopefully, people will wake up and see that the Democrats have taken us to the brink of bankruptcy and are planning on making it worse. Republicans have been doing the same, only slower.
The next time someone says to you "They want to balance the budget on the backs of the elderly and poor." Just ask them the questions "Do you want your children and grand children to be indebted all their lives? Do you want them to have a worse standard of living than you do? Do you feel good about robbing your descendants so you can live better?"
Watch their response. In will be along the lines of "Oh, look! A tree!"
The time has come to question the conventional wisdom which asks the question: "Which candidate can beat 0bama?".
The truth is my dog could beat 0bama.
The question becomes: "Who has the guts to turn around this socialist Rat/Soros agenda?"
On that score Palin and Bachman seem to be very strong contenders. .
he'd be the first shoo-in with a 43% approval rating I'd ever seen
He'll be a shoe in if a strong conservative candidate doesn't emerge, and by strong conservative I do not mean republican, because they are not.
This is likely this country's last election IMO.
It's get it right or die.
Yes he is a shoe-in for national Shoe shine boy. Hands down. . . .
Faulty logic because if any one of the premises is false, then the conclusion must also be false.
One could drop in any one of the other criteria sited by Mr. Prelutsky and the conclusions would all be false.
IMHO...he's spot on.
But let's make sure we eradicate the stain. We need a stellar candidate in place as the nominee.
And...to date....we don't have one.
Don't leave out Trump in the mix. I like this guy if only because he says what he means. He has no reason to do otherwise and he's a believer in this country. I believe that Obama will lose the election with minimal support from the American people. He has gotten us into a third war that will go on for years to come.
Palin and Bachman seem to be very strong contenders.
My thoughts exactly. However the slimer democrats will out to discredit both before long. They will be pushing a RINO like they did with McPussy in 08.
Wow, so that alleged Walter Williams article was a fake? My world makes sense again.
The only thing which can put Obama back in the White House at this point is the Republican Party self-destructing again, and they are pretty damn good at that.
Trump is all smoke and no fire, I'm sad to say.
I saw an article this morning that stated Hawaii cannot release a valid birth certificate to anyone, even the owner of such certificate. However, there have been a number of Hawaiian birth certificates posted on FR that were of the long form, not the Certificate of live birth. So in my opinion that is a bunch of cow fodder.
Trump, is just an opportunist with money. If he succeeds I'll gladly eat my words. Time will tell.
This shoe will drop out. Look for reasons NOT to run seeping through. Spend more time with family, health, America isn't ready for a black president, I did what I could, etc. He won't say that he can't take a loss like a man because he isn't one.
I always believed that 0b0z0 won't run and I still do even after he announced seeking reelection.
Too bad passenger train stations and bus depots have been in free fall for decades. You could always get a shine.
Baraka Abu Moostew, or whatever his real name is, is a shoo in just like Carter was a shoo in for his second term.
Somehow, "shoo-in" has got to be racist...

The Burden of Structured Data: What Health Care Can Learn From the Web Experience (Part 2 of 2)
Andy Oram is an editor at O'Reilly Media, a highly respected book publisher and technology information provider. An employee of the company since 1992, Andy currently specializes in open source, software engineering, and health IT, but his editorial output has ranged from a legal guide covering intellectual property to a graphic novel about teenage hackers. His articles have appeared often on EMR & EHR and other blogs in the health IT space. Andy also writes often for O'Reilly's Radar site (http://oreilly.com/) and other publications on policy issues related to the Internet and on trends affecting technical innovation and its effects on society. Print publications where his work has appeared include The Economist, Communications of the ACM, Copyright World, the Journal of Information Technology & Politics, Vanguardia Dossier, and Internet Law and Business. Conferences where he has presented talks include O'Reilly's Open Source Convention, FISL (Brazil), FOSDEM, and DebConf.
The first part of this article summarized what Web developers have done to structure data, and started to look at the barriers presented by health care. This part presents more recommendations for making structured data work.
The Grand Scheme of Things
Once you start classifying things, it's easy to become ensnared by grandiose pipe dreams and enter a free fall trying to design the perfect classification system. A good system is distinguished by knowing its limitations. That's why microdata on the Web succeeded. In other areas, the field of ontology is littered with the carcasses of projects that reached too far. And health care ontologies always teeter on the edge of that danger.
Let's take an everyday classification system as an example of the limitations of ontology. We all use genealogies. Imagine being able to sift information about a family quickly, navigating from father to son and along the trail of siblings. But even historical families, such as royal ones, introduce difficulties right away. For instance, children born out of wedlock should be shown differently from legitimate heirs. Modern families present even bigger headaches. How do you represent blended families where many parents take responsibilities of different types for the children, or people who provided sperm or eggs for artificial insemination?
The human condition is a complicated one not subject to easy classification, and that naturally extends to health, which is one of the most complex human conditions. I'm sure, for instance, that the science of mosquito borne diseases moves much faster than the ICD standard for disease. ICD itself should be replaced with something that embodies semantic meaning. But constant flexibility must be the hallmark of any ontology.
Transgender people present another enormous challenge to ontologies and EHRs. They're a test case for every kind of variation in humanity. Their needs and status vary from person to person, with no classification suiting everybody. These needs can change over time as people make transitions. And they may simultaneously need services defined for male and female, with the mix differing from one patient to the next.
Getting to the Point
As the very term "microdata" indicates, those who wish to expose semantic data on the Web can choose just a few items of information for that favored treatment. A movie theater may have text on its site extolling its concession stand, its seating, or its accommodations for the disabled, but these are not part of the microdata given to search engines.
A big problem in electronic health records is their insistence that certain things be filled out for every patient. Any item that is of interest for any class of patient must appear in the interface, a problem known in the data industry as a Cartesian explosion. Many observers counsel a "less is more" philosophy in response. It's interesting that a recent article that complained of "bloated records" and suggested a "less is more" approach goes on to recommend the inclusion of scads of new data in the record, to cover behavioral and environmental information. Without mentioning the contradiction explicitly, the authors address it through the hope that better interfaces for entering and displaying information will ease the burden on the clinician.
The various problems with ontologies that I have explained throw doubt on whether EHRs can attain such simplicity. Patients are not restaurants. To really understand what's important about a patient–whether to guide the clinician in efficient data entry or to display salient facts to her–we'll need systems embodying artificial intelligence. Such systems always feature false positives and negatives. They also depend on continuous learning, which means they're never perfect. I would not like to be the patient whose data gets lost or misclassified during the process of tuning the algorithms.
I do believe that some improvements in EHRs can promote the use of structured data. Doctors should be allowed to enter the data in the order and the manner they find intuitive, because that order and that manner reflect their holistic understanding of the patient. But suggestions can prompt them to save some of the data in structured format, without forcing them to break their trains of thought. Relevant data will be collected and irrelevant fields will not be shown or preserved at all.
The resulting data will be less messy than what we have in unstructured text currently, but still messy. So what? That is the nature of data. Analysts will make the best use of it they can. But structure should never get in the way of the information.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock futures are rising slightly a day after strong U.S. corporate earnings sent the Dow to its highest close since 2007.
Dow futures are up 17 points to 13,990. The broader S&P 500 futures are up 3 points to 1,519. Nasdaq futures are up 9 points to 2,769.
Investors will be looking toward a government report on January retail sales. U.S. consumers likely spent more cautiously at stores and restaurants last month after an increase in Social Security taxes cut into take-home pay. Economists expect that retail sales edged up 0.1 percent in January. The report is due at 8:30 a.m. Eastern.
The market will also weigh Tuesday's State of the Union address from President Barack Obama. Obama pressed his call to raise taxes on the wealthy to help fix looming fiscal crises.

Skip to comments.OBAMA PRAISES TRIG-TRUTHER ANDREW SULLIVAN (Obama: Trig-Truther's blog has "thoughtful analysis")
Posted on 04/25/2012 9:49:12 PM PDT by Qbert
In this weeks Rolling Stone, President Obama takes the cover story again. The piece is a long interview, and its a gushing profile of Obama. This time, however, he steps in it by endorsing Trig Palin birther and The Atlantic columnist Andrew Sullivan:
I read all of the New York Times columnists. Krugman's obviously one of the smartest economic reporters out there, but I also read some of the conservative columnists, just to get a sense of where those arguments are going. There are a handful of blogs, Andrew Sullivan's on the Daily Beast being an example, that combine thoughtful analysis with a sampling of lots of essays that are out there. The New Yorker and The Atlantic still do terrific work. Every once in a while, I sneak in a novel or a nonfiction book.
Sullivan, of course, is the same charming fellow who maintains that Trig Palin, Sarah Palins son, is actually the child of Bristol Palin; Sarah Palin, he said, claimed the child as her own in a giant cover-up. Sullivan isnt just one of Obamas favorite columnists, he also visited the White House for a state dinner last month.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Wow! That looks huge on my new 30" monitor!
The same Andrew Sullivan who was booted from this site for threatening a distinguished and long-standing FReeper from Texas with a lawsuit?
I guess we here can smell out the fakes and opportunists early on, eh?
The only thing Sullivan deserves is a broken jaw for his comments about Palin family members. If that was my family attacked like that, he'd be taught a lesson not to run his mouth.

GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado teenager told a 911 dispatcher last fall that he kidnapped and killed a missing suburban Denver school girl and hid her remains in a crawl space at his mother's home, according to a recording played by a prosecutor in court Friday.
The recording was played at a preliminary hearing at which a judge decided there's enough evidence for Austin Sigg to stand trial in both the death of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway and an attack on a jogger at nearby Ketner Lake in May.
Westminster police Detective Michael Lynch testified at the hearing that Sigg first confessed to his mother, telling her that he kidnapped Jessica as she walked past his car, bound her arms and her legs, placed her in the back seat, drove around for a little bit, then took her to his house.
He had Jessica change clothes and tried to strangle her, first with zip ties and later with his hands, Lynch testified. He then took the girl's body to a bathtub where he dismembered her using a saw, he said.
Sigg, now 18, is charged with murder, kidnapping, sexual assault and robbery in Jessica's death.
Prosecutors have added three counts of sexual exploitation of a child because child pornography was allegedly found during the investigation.
He also faces an attempted kidnapping charge for the attack on the jogger. Attempted murder and attempted sexual assault charges have been dropped in that case.
Jessica's disappearance on her way to school on Oct. 5 set parents in the Denver area on edge for several weeks. Hundreds of officers canvassed the area, investigated leads and took DNA samples as parents waited with their children at bus stops and thought twice about letting them out of sight.
On Oct. 23, Sigg's mother called 911 to say her son wanted to turn himself in and had confessed to killing the girl. When the dispatcher asked what her son had said, Mindy Sigg replied, "That he did it, and he gave me details, and her remains are in my house."
She can be heard crying and asking if her son will talk to the dispatcher, who asks him general questions.
"I don't exactly get why you're asking me these questions. I murdered Jessica Ridgeway. I have proof that I did it," Austin Sigg said. "You have to send a squad car down here, and I'll answer any questions you want to ask me."
He also said the remains were in a crawl space.
When asked about his criminal record, he told the dispatcher: "The only other thing that I have done was the Ketner Lake incident where the woman got attacked. That was me."
Mindy Sigg told investigators that her son appeared sick the day he confessed and said he opened the conversation by saying he was a "monster," Lynch testified.
The teen had been on investigators' radar before his mother turned him in. A neighbor called a tip line suggesting they check him out because he seemed preoccupied with death, Westminster police Detective Luis Lopez said.
Two FBI agents responded and took a DNA sample from Sigg on Oct. 19, four days before his mother called 911.
Lopez said Sigg's DNA — the kind left behind by touching something — was found on Jessica's clothing, but no semen was found.
Sigg told investigators that he didn't rape Jessica, Lynch said.
"It was a comment he had made right off the bat, 'I didn't rape her. I didn't torture her.'"
Some of Jessica's remains were found in garbage bags in an open space park five days after she went missing. Friday was the first time investigators revealed that the bags contained her torso. Lopez testified that she died of asphyxiation.
The judge originally ordered Friday's hearing to be closed to the public but the Colorado Supreme Court sided with media organizations who argued that he failed to show that holding the hearing in public would jeopardize Sigg's right to a fair trial.
Arraignment is set for March 12.

Can u profide some more info
Like what case,cooler,mainboard, are u using
And i would sugest u check the temps with coretemp instead of Realtemp.
And see what it says.
Ps does your cooler feel hot to the touch ?
2. Re: i7 2600k Processor Running at Questionably High TemperaturesIntel_Karla May 4, 2012 8:31 AM (in response to gumballthechewy)1 of 1 people found this helpful
What we have available is the processor's Thermal Specification.
The thermal specification (also known as TCase) for your Intel® Core™ i7 processor I7- 2600K is 72.6°C: http://ark.intel.com/products/52214/Intel-Core-i7-2600K-Processor-(8M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz)
The TCase is a number established by Intel® as a point of reference in order to understand what could be expected as per normal processor temperature.
Anything from the Tcase and below will be the expected temperature of the processor in normal use, anything that doesn't stress out the processor (watching movies, burning CDs, browsing the internet, creating documents, etc.) When the processor is stressed out meaning that you are running heavy processor applications that take control of the CPU or uses it at 100% the temperature will go beyond the Tcase. It can perfectly reach 90 to 95 degrees and the processor will still be OK. The cooling fan is in charge to keep that temperature there.
If the processor temperature reaches 100°C or more it will send a signal to the motherboard to shut down to prevent mayor damages and most likely it won't be possible to turn the computer back in until it cools down.
The normal processor temperature will depend on the chassis type, the hardware involved and the location of the computer, and it usually is lower than the Tcase.
Third party software results are not supported since it is very common for this tools to provide inaccurate results since usually this is not fully optimized for any processor in specific; it is more generic. We recommend you consulting with your motherboard manufacturer for an approved monitoring software.
Please feel free to run the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool which will let you know if your processor is properly operating:http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-031726.htm
Furthermore, you may want to make sure the motherboard in use has the latest BIOS version loaded for a proper processor recognition.
3. Re: i7 2600k Processor Running at Questionably High Temperaturesgumballthechewy May 4, 2012 9:21 AM (in response to Intel_Karla)
The case is a Cyberpower PC case from Futureshop I'm not sure what model specifically it has six fans and my room is quite cool, around 18°c on average.
I was playing an older game (not sure if it makes a diffirence how old a game is) and it started getting choppy so I reset my computer and on the reboot it beeped a few times and a little message said that the CPU was hot, (I can't remember exactly what it said but basically my CPU was too hot).
I've tried a few different CPU temp reading programs (to come up with some sort of avarage) and after running a game for about ten minutes they all read in the low to mid 90's.
I'll try updating my BIOS and see if that helps.
4. Re: i7 2600k Processor Running at Questionably High TemperaturesNessuno May 4, 2012 9:58 AM (in response to gumballthechewy)
If u assembled the machine your self i would sugest to refit your cpu cooler.
If not i would take it back to the shop.
Check to make sure your cpu cooler ismounted straight, and if u use the stock cooler all 4 off the pushpins
are pushed correctly true your mainboard. Seen more than one where
one of the pins was not in the hole but on the mainboard.
Pushing the cooler up and away from the cpu.
Also take a look @ the fan.
At 90c your should clearly see it moving or hear it Runn @ least!
5. Re: i7 2600k Processor Running at Questionably High Temperaturesgumballthechewy May 4, 2012 5:38 PM (in response to Nessuno)
Yes I'm taking it back to the manufacturer, I'm no computer expert. Thanks for help.
6. Re: i7 2600k Processor Running at Questionably High TemperaturesNessuno May 5, 2012 7:11 PM (in response to gumballthechewy)
Np and your welcome
7. Re: i7 2600k Processor Running at Questionably High Temperaturesgumballthechewy May 7, 2012 1:54 PM (in response to gumballthechewy)
Ok, so here was the problem I figured it out! I should have just taken the side panel off to begin with. Ok I have a liquid cooled computer and the fan on the side panel was rubbing against the hose and now the coolant is sprayed all over the inside of my computer! I just thought my fan was loud! I feel like such an idiot! It was a factory built computer so I think they'll fix it, they should, it's not my fault they put the hose and fans too close together.
8. Re: i7 2600k Processor Running at Questionably High TemperaturesNessuno May 7, 2012 2:14 PM (in response to gumballthechewy)
make sure they replace all parts wich have bin in contact with the coolant.
mainboard, graphicscard, and so on.
u dont want your parts to die in like one year and them saying its not their fault.

Yeah, that's a good idea, I didn't think about that at all. I don't think there's any on the MB maybe a tiny bit, but the graphics card is pretty covered.

This planting season, more than 150 farmers in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota are trialing the first offering from Monsanto's Integrated Farming Systems (IFS) research platform — FieldScripts. The company reports that with FieldScripts planted on more than 8,300 acres in Illinois, Ground Breakers farmers there are impressed with how FieldScripts revolutionizes variable rate planting.
FieldScripts integrates Monsanto's understanding of hybrid performance with the data farmers provide about their individual fields to identify the best hybrids and provide a variable rate planting prescription for each field. The process is led by FieldScripts Certified Dealers, delivered through the FieldView Plus app on the farmer's iPad, and executed with precision equipment on the planter.
Ground Breakers farmer Mark Sturtevant in Carroll County, IL, has planted several fields with FieldScripts and is excited about bringing together Monsanto's knowledge of hybrid performance in multiple yield environments with the latest planter technologies, "If we can harness this technology, we'll be able to increase our yield and profit potential. We're working to put the right seed, at the right amount, on every acre. FieldScripts is a step in the right direction for the industry."
While many farmers own variable rate planters, there has not been a simple and accurate way to utilize them. Traditionally, variable rate seeding has been based on soil type or normalized yield, but these methods fall short of revealing the true picture of what is happening in the field or providing a means to plant accurately using that information.
FieldScripts allows the farmer to accurately plant a lower seeding rate in lower-yielding areas of the field, and a higher seeding rate at higher yielding areas of the field, maximizing the yield potential of every seed. Monsanto research has shown that FieldScripts delivers a 5-10 bushel per acre yield advantage across the field as a whole, as compared with fields not planted with FieldScripts. In 2014, Monsanto plans to launch FieldScripts that will be delivered to farmers through FieldScripts Certified DEKALB seed dealers.
Many Ground Breakers farmers have been especially pleased by how simple it is to put FieldScripts to work on their farm. "FieldScripts sounds like a complicated system, but it's extremely simple for the farmer to use," said Ground Breakers farmer and dealer Dustin Spears from Lanark, IL. "Prior to planting, the dealer gathers all of the data and prepares it to be used by the farmer. The data all comes to the farmer's iPad, he pushes a few buttons and he's ready to plant. FieldScripts is much simpler than alternative technology."
As co-owner of Martz-Spears Seed, a FieldScripts Certified DEKALB seed dealer participating along with more than 40 other dealers in the four launch states, Spears also sees the value FieldScripts provides to his dealership. "FieldScripts allows our dealership to provide better service for our customers. We're no longer just selling seed and service, we're selling a science that we believe will keep farmers coming back for more. Our farmers are always looking for ways to improve their bottom line, and this is a tool that will help them maximize their profit potential and make the most of every acre of their land," said Spears.

With all the hot, smart ladies who are taking business into their own hands nowadays, we're starting to think maybe the feminist movement wasn't such a bad thing after all. There's nothing sexier than an assertive woman – well, not much anyway. So join us now as we celebrate our enlightened age, and the pleasing aesthetics of the liberated, boner-fied beauties who run some of our country's most important businesses.
10. Kerry Knee
Along with her equally delectable sister, Krista, Kerry set up her business, Flirty Girls Fitness, and subsequently became the CEO. The company makes DVD fitness programs which claim to help the recipient lose weight through pole dancing lessons. No wonder she has such a smokin' body. It would be so damn easy to write a joke about her specially honed skills working various types of poles that we just can't bring ourselves to do it.
9. Candida Royalle
OK, so looks-wise she might be a bit of a has-been – which is a polite way of saying she's a decade away from looking like a leather bag – but it's what Candida did that puts her on the list. Namely: pornos. Do we really have to say any more? OK, fine. She is currently the CEO of Femme Productions, which is a company that makes boring sex videos for couples. She is also a former pornographic actress, and produces and directs all the jazz flicks herself. Nice.
8. Summer Bowen
Treehugger Summer Bowen created her eco-friendly lifestyle company, BTC Elements, after doing Conservation & Resource Studies at UC Berkeley. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two cats, and is definitely worth it – provided you can cope with the inevitable hairy pits. Just kidding.
7. Leslie Blodgett
Leslie, whilst CEO of female product company Bare Escentuals, also found the time to launch bareMinerals, a line of pure beauty products for women who want to feel beautiful 'inside and out'. There is a certain significance to this move. She's not only fairly tasty herself; she's actually committed to making babes hotter. With that kind of winning combination she can be as pushy and demanding as she damn well likes!
6. Annalea Krebs
Some think she's hot, others think she's… not. Either way she seems to have made quite a name for herself in the Canadian business world as a sexy woman of power. Her company, TheChange, has something to do with social media and platforms and business and the internet – which is somewhat boring – but the sneaky suspicion that she might be as powerful and demanding in bed as she is in the office gives a nation of nerds a serious chub-on.
5. Iman
Where to start with lovely Iman? She was a supermodel for 14 years, she's married to David Bowie, she was in Miami Vice, has featured in a video game, and is fine, fine, fine looking. Humanitarian Iman is CEO of her own cosmetics company, which manufactures unusual shades of make-up for women with darker skin colors. And, it has been such a success that it has made her very rich. Dope!
4. Gina Bianchini
Silicon Valley schwing-o-meters have never rung so loud as the time when Gina shuffled onto the scene. As CEO of some social network creation website called Ning, she reached levels of fame only accessible if you possess an admirable pair of norks and a half-decent business brain. Bianchini holds a B.A. from Stanford University and an M.B.A from Stanford Business School.
3. Sara Blakely
Like Leslie Blodgett, Sara is in charge of a company that provides an invaluable service for our blessed land. Her company, Spanx, which she started in 2000, sells slimming pantyhose and undergarments to all the chubbies and wideloads around the US. As every man knows, less fatties means more ogling, and more ogling means a happier nation. Yay Sara!
2. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
Mary-Kate is susceptible to looking something like a frightened sea bass now and then, but clearly we're not the only ones who seem to find this arousing. The former anorexia sufferer shares the management of the Olsen twins' company, Dualstar Entertainment, with her former womb-mate. The other 50% of the hot dancing goblin duo, Ashley, has shied away from the public spotlight in more recent years to concentrate on her endless talents as a fashion designer, and despite having a face sorta like a slightly melted Muppet, we've got to concede she's also totally hot in a weird kind of way.
1. Hilary Rowland
Eye-bogglingly hot Hilary gets 5 schwing stars out of 5 for her stunning blond good looks. However, the altruistic entrepreneur is more than just an appealing façade. Aside from being the CEO of her own charitable jewelery company, she also taught herself binary, invented the concept of online portfolios for models, and found some spare time to put together the first ever online magazine for girls. Smart as well as sexy – Hilary's our girl!

BMW Motorrad Goldbet SBK's Chaz Davies had some homework ahead of this weekend's World Superbike round in Monza, as the Welshman spent time in BMW's high-speed wind tunnel to work on his aerodynamics with the BMW S1000RR. With Monza being one of the fastest courses on the WSBK calendar, a rider's ability to have the optimal body position down the the track's long sections, where speeds can easily exceed 200 mph, is a crucial element to race-day success.
"It was a really interesting afternoon", said Davies. "When testing on a track, you try new development parts and different settings but you are not working on your body. So it was great to experience in a stable environment with my riding position, to move myself around on the bike, to have elbows and shoulders in different positions and to then see in the data what difference it makes.

Red Cross closes Fall River storm shelter as power is fully restored to city and neighboring Wareham
An emergency shelter at Durfee High School in Fall River closed this morning after power was fully restored to this city of 89,000 and to neighboring Wareham, a Red Cross volunteer said.
"Our last guests just went home to Wareham,'' Paula Farrales, the shelter manager, said by telephone, shortly after noon today. "They all got their power back on. It's wonderful news.''
Fall River and Wareham were among the Southcoast communities served by NStar, which announced on Sunday it could take until Thursday to restore power to all customers in Massachusetts.
The Fall River shelter served about 100 residents, who started to arrive early Saturday morning, Farrales said.
Guests ranged from young families with children, to senior citizens living alone, and a blind woman, she said. About 15 Red Cross volunteers, some of whom were fluent in both Spanish and Portuguese, worked at the shelter.
On Sunday, Jarrett Barrios, chief executive officer of the American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts, stopped by for a visit, she said.
"He gave our guests his undivided attention,'' Farrales said.
Farrales thanked Stop & Shop supermarket, which donated water, fruit, snacks and prepared meals to the shelter. On Sunday, when about 70 people visited the shelter, they signed a thank you card for the volunteers.
"They said we made them feel welcome and comfortable,'' said Farrales, who lives in Taunton. "That made us all feel good.''

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Bats swoop through the halls of Vermont's grand State House, and nobody seems to mind.
Workers say it's not uncommon to see the furry, bug-eating bats flying around, especially during the summer months when they seek cooler, air-conditioned hallways.
Vermont State Curator David Schutz, who is charged with overseeing the restoration, care and conservation of the gold-domed, 155-year-old State House, says he's lost count of the number of bats he's seen.
"Good lord," he exclaimed. "Over the 30-some years that I've been here? A lot of bats."
The bats are coming out of a cavernous attic in the State House that officials haven't tried to seal up, according to Schutz.
"I am very pro-bat because, of course, we're losing them," he said.
Bats have been dying of white nose syndrome, a scourge caused by a fungus that has devastated bat populations by disrupting their hibernation and leading to starvation and dehydration. Officials say the syndrome has killed more than 5.5 million bats across the Northeast and Canada.
Right before a recent ceremony in the Cedar Creek Room, a bat swooped in, dived past the huge mural commemorating a Civil War battle and headed for the Senate chamber. Capitol Police Officer Dale Manning, who's been at the State House for nearly 11 years, says the strategy for dealing with the bats is simple: In the Senate case, they just closed the doors, opened the windows from the outside and let the bat fly out on its own. Sometimes it takes a few minutes and, sometimes, a few hours.
"There is a large population out there in the public who like bats and enjoy their presence," said Jeremy Coleman, the white nose coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "It's refreshing when you find people who appreciate them."
However, Coleman emphasized that living with bats can be dangerous.
Those who come into close contact with bats should be observant and careful. Bats can carry rabies, a fatal virus that causes inflammation of the brain.
Only about 1 percent of wild bats carry the virus, according to Alyssa Bennett, Vermont state small mammals biologist. However, it's not always apparent if a bat has rabies and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urges homeowners to bat-proof their homes. If people awakes with a bat in their bedroom or find a bat near unattended children or a person with a disability, the CDC urges post-exposure vaccination to prevent rabies if the bat cannot be captured and tested.
Bats can also carry deadly diseases, like histoplasmosis — a lung infection that can be caused by breathing bat guano. Although they haven't found any large deposits at the State House, workers doing an insulation project are on the lookout and will clean up if they find any.
"Just having a bat fly inside of a space is not really a concern at all," Bennett said.
And Capitol police are utilizing the best practices to remove the bats when needed, such as using gloves and limiting physical handling.
"They're protecting themselves and also protecting the wildlife," Bennett said.
Capitol police say they will keep dealing with the bats on a case-by-case basis.
"People come here and say how open the building is," Manning said. "Bats flying around while you're doing business is just kind of a rural, fun thing."

Oil little changed; pump price down to $3.70
Oil little changed; pump price down to $3.70
The Associated Press
Mar. 11, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) — Oil reversed an early decline Monday and finished above $92 for the first time this month.
Benchmark oil rose 11 cents to end at $92.06 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The price was below $91 a barrel during morning trading.
Although oil shows a gain of nearly 2 percent over the past three trading sessions, many traders believe the large supply of oil in the U.S. will keep a lid on the price.
Last week the Energy Department said that the nation's supply of crude is 10.3 percent above year-ago levels. And U.S. oil production, at more than 7 million barrels a day, is at the highest level since the late 1990s.
Jim Ritterbusch, president of energy consultancy Ritterbusch and Associates, estimates that oil supplies grew another 2.5 million barrels in the week ended March 8. He also said oil could start to fall toward $85 a barrel later in the week if U.S. economic data boosts the dollar. A stronger dollar makes oil a less enticing investment for traders using other currencies, since oil is traded in dollars.
Pump prices fell slightly over the weekend. The nationwide average for a gallon of gas is $3.70, down 9 cents from a year ago.
Brent crude, used to price many kinds of oil imported by U.S. refineries, fell 63 cents to finish at $110.22 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline fell 5 cents to end at $3.15 a gallon.
— Heating oil slipped 1 cent to finish at $2.97 a gallon.
— Natural gas rose 2 cents to end at $3.65 per 1,000 cubic feet.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Five high-ranking New Jersey officials and one from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey canceled meetings with a city's new mayor last year and offered no explanation, documents released by town officials show.
Steve Fulop, the Democratic mayor of Jersey City, says he believes the commissioners decided not to meet with him in July because he declined to endorse Republican Gov. Chris Christie's re-election bid.
He has been talking about the events since last week, when documents were released that showed that Christie aides and appointees were involved in the decision to close access lanes to the George Washington Bridge, a move that caused massive traffic jams in the nearby community of Fort Lee. The mayor there said he believes the lanes were closed to punish him for not endorsing Christie.
Jersey City released emails and text messages about setting up and then canceling meetings in response to open records requests from The Associated Press and other news organizations.
The emails back up the assertions Fulop made last week about the meetings being canceled abruptly in July, but they do not offer any insight into why the officials backed out.
In one, Fulop tells Port Authority Deputy Director Bill Baroni, "I am not sure if it is a coincidence that your office canceled a meeting several weeks back that seemed to be simultaneous to other political conversations."
Baroni, a Christie appointee, has since resigned in the unfolding scandal over the Fort Lee closings.
Fulop eventually publicly said he was supporting Democrat Barbara Buono for governor.
Last week, Christie said that he and others have had disagreements with Fulop but did not explain the cancellations. On Monday, Christie spokesman Colin Reed said the administration continues to work with Jersey City officials.
"Fulop's relationship over time with both the governor and Democrats in the Legislature has been inconsistent as he has made clear his future political aspirations," Reeds said. "That doesn't change the fact that Gov. Christie and everyone in his administration will continue working on behalf of Jersey City and all its residents."

The Great Debates Revisited: Timothy Naftali
American life changed forever in 1960 when Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy ushered politics into the multimedia age with the first televised presidential debates.
This third event in a series called The Great Debates Revisited features a screening of the third presidential debate between Kennedy and Nixon, with introductory commentary and a post-screening Q&A session led by Timothy Naftali.
Nixon was attributed the win for this debate, which continued the prior foreign policy argument. Perhaps more importantly, the third debate is the only contest in which the candidates argued without a direct personal confrontation as they appeared in separate television studios – Kennedy in New York and Nixon in Los Angeles.
Timothy Naftali is the director of the Nixon Presidential Library & Museum. A former history professor at the University of Virginia, he is the author of four books, including Blind Spot: The Secret History of American Counterterrorism. His articles have appeared on Slate.com, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Foreign Affairs.
The Kansas City Public Library, the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum, and the Truman Library Institute present The Great Debates Revisited to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this landmark moment in American political history.

Big-hitting teen to make most of Scorchers call-up
CRICKET: He expects to be in the team for only one game - for now - but Scorchers debutant Hayden Greig intends to make his mark.
The lower-order batman, 18, has been named in the Sunshine Coast side to play Valley in a one-day match in Brisbane today.
He was promoted from the club's reserve grade side after Ash Gray was ruled out for family reasons.
While he is known as a power-hitter, Greig insists he is not a slugger. If possible, he said he liked to build an innings.
And that is what he wants to do with his game as well - establish himself as a first-grade regular and then go further.
He said his ability to get a start was one of his strengths.
"I can get myself in," he said.
"I'll give myself the best chance before I go out and have a whack.
"I'm not just playing a numbers game and getting runs once in every four innings."
Greig, who will bat at No.7 today, anticipates being back in reserve grade next week - even if he scores runs.
But then again, he did not expect to get this chance - not this soon, anyway.
He said: "I've obviously been trying to score runs lately and have had a few good innings (his highest score this season is 74).
"The reason they gave me a go is because Ash Gray is out and they need that extra hitting power towards the end.
"With Ash being out, they feel I'm the next best man for the job.
"It would have to be (a score of) 100-plus for me to stay, but even then it would be difficult, I think," he added.
Scorchers captain Gerard Flegler said Greig had potential.
"He's certainly got some ability," he said. "He's come through our system, which is great."
Sunshine Coast - sitting in sixth place overall on the XXXX Gold Premier Grade ladder and eighth place on the one-day ladder - has made two other chances for today's encounter.
Steven Heise comes in for Matthew Gale - who is in the Queensland Bulls side that plays New South Wales in a Ryobi Cup one-dayer tomorrow - while James Henry has replaced the dropped Lewis Waugh.
Flegler said Valley - placed seventh on both the overall and one-day ladders - and the Scorchers were evenly matched.
"The last couple of years we've had some good battles against them," he said.
"They're certainly a similar side to us … (but) if we play to our strengths, hopefully we'll come away with the points."
The Scorchers are an improving side, and Flegler likes what he is seeing.
"We've played some reasonable cricket the last couple of weeks," he said.

Tonight's finale of Project Runway will be the show's first time ever of having three female contestants as finalists.
The question on everyone's mind is who will be the ultimate winner of the sixth season? The obvious answer seems to be Irina, who has won more challenges than both Carol Hannah and Althea. Plus her collection seems to be the strongest this season. However, if there's one thing we know about reality show competitions, is to never count anyone out.
Season four champ Christian Siriano has his own opinion on who will take home the $100,000 prize. Christian, who attended the taping of the final runway show back in February, was blown away by the third anonymous designer's work. That third anonymous desinger's work just happens to be that of Irina's, whom Christian believes will come out victorious in tonight's episode.

- How many skeptics does it take to change a lightbulb?
- Actually they won't do it. They have no sense of urgency about the situation; they aren't sure they're really in the dark.
A healthy amount of skepticism is good and is probably how most of here came across the Dhamma; for example being skeptical of some of the things in the Bible, creation-stories, chosen race above the rest, a Divine being with many human frailties, etc. I know, I know, Buddhism has some things which many consider religious and far-fetched, but they are not the essence of Buddhism of suffering and the way out of suffering.
But too much skepticism and one cannot make progress as shown in some of the similes here. Everything is considered relative, there are no absolutes, everything is culturally nuanced, etc. and no progress can be made. I sometimes wonder if Jesus or some other supernatural figure came flying through the air to return to earth to save us, the Christians would of course be happy and the skeptics would be saying 'it must be photoshopped' or 'it must be some weather anomaly where the humidity and sun are in such a way to produce some strange colors and images' and then theists from non-Christian religions might say 'it is the devil doing this to trick us'. Only non-Christians with an open-mind might be saying 'okay maybe I was barking up the wrong tree; let me examine this some more'.
I don't think the literalist extreme is useful either (at least not for me) because then it can become a Buddhist example of what we find among extremists in other religions.
I think there can be a middle way where you start with some faith or confidence in the Path and the teachings and try it out for yourself and see if it works; sanditthiko.

By Edith Honan
(Reuters) - Six months after a gunman killed 26 children and adults at a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school, families and local officials will mark the day by honoring the victims and renewing the fight for stricter gun control.
The ceremony on Friday morning will include a moment of silence and a reading of the names of victims of the massacre that launched a new U.S. debate on guns.
The event will be followed by a rally, organized by Mayors against Illegal Guns and other groups, to urge Congress to revive a series of gun-control initiatives proposed after the Newtown shooting. The measures, which were opposed by the National Rifle Association gun rights lobby, failed to win approval in Congress.
"We are going to continue to fight. The NRA, they're bullies, and they can get as far as they've come because they have power and numbers," said Jillian Soto, whose older sister, Victoria Soto, was among the teachers gunned down that day.
"We're going to be able to fight this one and we're going to be able to win. It's just going to take some time," Soto said in an interview.
On the morning of December 14, 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot his mother, Nancy Lanza, in her bed, and then went to Sandy Hook Elementary School - a school he once attended - and forced his way inside. He killed 20 children and six adults before turning the gun on himself.
The massacre, which followed a shooting rampage at a Colorado movie theater in July that killed 12, and a shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin that killed seven, was one of the worst in recent American history.
Ultimately, a bill that would have expanded the use of background checks in gun purchases failed in Congress and an assault weapons ban was proposed but never brought to a vote.
"It's certainly a sad day on a number of fronts," U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat, said of the occasion.
"Six months ago, it was unconceivable to me that we'd be standing here today, with Congress having done nothing in the wake of 20 6- and 7-year-olds being gunned down," he said.
Murphy and others are vowing to revive their push for new gun controls, especially the background check bill, which enjoys broad support among Americans.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group founded by and largely financed by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has used his personal fortune to promote measures like the background checks bill, has also stepped up its efforts in recent days.
The group will sponsor a bus tour, starting on Friday in Newtown, to U.S. towns and cities that have been touched by gun violence.

We've have to talk geopolitics this week. I've told you in the past that Morsi was trouble, and the early days of his administration resembled the early days of the Third Reich as far as foreign policy is concerned. Lucky for the world, he's only an amateur despot with none of the charisma of the really dangerous people in history.
I've probably studied World War II as much as anyone who hasn't been published on that subject so there's a certain expertise. Morsi tried to play peacemaker while at the same time scheming in the background how to be at the forefront of a new Pan Arabic movement that would not stop until Jerusalem became its capital. That's right, there's no way of sugarcoating it. I've seen several of the speeches. How serious the true threat is hard to say, but the world didn't take the Nazis seriously in the beginning either. So a threat is removed. The difference here is the Egyptian people were not supportive, while the German people of the 1930's stood by in silence and allowed it to happen.
But let's not bury our heads in the sand. There's an element of Islamic Jihad active as they are in all the Arabic countries to the Middle East. They are not going without a fight. The problem going forward is the Egyptian military looks good, has the weaponry, but they are not trained very well in the field. Are they fat and lazy? Perhaps a little bit, but they will get tested by the Muslim Brotherhood. The best tweet of the week was "take the Army and give the points." So I'd give them the edge. A lot of the future is going to depend on how much support the Muslim Brotherhood gets from the Russians and/or the Chinese. Later on, if it gets to that point, they still must have another election.
What we found out this week was the market seemed to like the removal of Morsi yet the initial knee-jerk reaction was fear and that's reasonable. Who knows what could happen in a coup? What amazed me is that gold nearly collapsed during this event. In the old days, any geopolitical threat was a reason to buy precious metals. How times have changed. Today, many people view the drop in gold (COMEX:GCQ13) as a sign the economy is improving. They are right to a point; the economy was good in the 20-year bear market for gold. But the yellow metal skyrocketed in the last decade when the economy was supposedly good, even if it was powered by smoke and mirrors.
At this point I think gold is dropping because there's a potential threat of deflation. The Greenback is pushing higher and the kicker is going to be how the stock market responds. During the 1990's in the better economy, the dollar and equities skyrocketed. An economy where the equity market grows with the currency means its increasing in wealth. If its increasing in wealth there's no threat of deflation as we saw in the '90's. It was a low inflationary cycle. The actual term was disinflation. But if we continue to get an inverse relationship where the dollar accelerates at the expense of the stock market, we'll have a problem.
For me, the problem has been when the Greenback pushed the 90 handle. Each time it did, the stock market was in serious correction mode. So if the dollar keeps going up, gold continues to decline and the stock market backs off we'll move closer to deflation. If the stock market stays in gear with an increasing dollar and a declining yellow metal we'll have an economy similar to the 1990s, except for one thing: We won't have a bubble.
In certain circles, I've seen there are people who think the stock market is about to be a bubble. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are in a bull market, a secular bull market where the pattern has reached the path of least resistance: up. Why does that have to be a bubble? Remember earlier in the year when I told you people would have a problem with a market that goes to new highs? They don't know what to think about it. We haven't had to deal with this sort of thing since the '80's and '90's. Most market participants are used to dealing with markets that top when they get to all-time highs. But there's very little euphoria out there. If anything, there's a wall of worry concerning the Fed and interest rates. If anything, the market has to prove it can go up without help from Fed stimulus.
So Europe closed the week lower as the DAX got blitzed. Now for the first time in 8 months we must make the determination of whether Europe is leading to the downside or North America is the new leader to the upside. If we go by the Russell, we get a very bullish message because small caps have been leading to the upside for the first time in a long time. Judging by the small caps our end of the world action from 2 weeks ago Monday gave us an excellent trading bottom. It's hard to imagine Europe is ready to violate it so soon. Europe could also be sending a different strange message. Last week the ECB diverged from the Fed by suggesting they intend to keep rates low for a long time, perhaps even exploring real negative rates. We also have political and financial unrest in Portugal. Finally we have the situation in Egypt. Perhaps European traders have not sorted out how they should feel about these 3 events. We could see a month of instability and perhaps a trading range which diverges from our bullish leg up.

Lynn Haven, FL---It is official. Jeremy Brown is the new head football coach at Mosley High School. Mosley Principal Sandy Harrison and A.D. Danny Nagy Monday officially naming Jeremy Brown as the successor to Perry Brown, no relation.
This a homecoming for the new coach Brown, who's father Jerry was a head coach and teach at Rutherford for years, that's Jerry Brown there at today's announcement.
Jeremy went to Rutherford for three years, then graduated from Bay in '92.
After spending some time as a j.v. coach at Rutherford, he spent time as an assistant at Sarasota Booker and Venice high schools. Then moved to Jefferson east of Tallahassee, one year as an assistant, the last three as head coach. In 2011 he led Jefferson to the 1A state title.
To say the least coach Brown is excited about this career "homecoming".
"I think just knowing the area, being from here, being from here is gonna be a huge advantage. A lot of the guys I played with, that I competed agaist over the years, their kids go to school now. And I know a lot of those guys have players here. And I know we have some good athletes in the whole county, we've got some great athletes here. And so just that history, trying to get it back to where Tommy Oliver is full on Friday night when there's a county game, I think that's the environment that I grew up in and I think the kids in our program, they deserve to be a part of that same type of environment."
Coach Brown spending part of Monday getting to know his new players. He will take over immediately.

UPDATE: Malaysia: SIS welcomes withdrawal of appeal by Malaysian Assembly of Mosque Youth
Sisters in Islam (SIS) welcomes the withdrawal of the appeal by Dewan Pemuda Masjid Malaysia (Malaysian Assembly of Mosque Youth, MAMY) against the High Court decision to strike off MAMY's application for a court order to stop SIS from using its pen-name, 'Sisters in Islam'. SIS maintains its position on the importance of civil dialogue to address differences of opinions in any democratic society, and remains concerned over the use of police reports and frivolous suits as intimidation tactics to silence progressive voices. Update to Malaysia: Sisters in Islam get to keep name
The continuing struggle by SIS and other civil society organizations for freedom of expression shows how far Malaysia has yet to go before the nation can hold its head high as a leader in the Muslim world. SIS hopes this victory will only be one of many that will show the way towards the realization of justice and equality for all.

It was one of the parts of the comprehensive immigration reform bill of 2007 that torpedoed its chances of passing.
For a long time, labor unions were firmly opposed to the notion of them. They often locked horns with business groups, who favored them.
But now guest workers are a key component of the new push for a comprehensive reform of the U.S. immigration system.
And unions are one of the groups most forcefully advocating for a guest worker program that will make it easier for them to come to the country, and for employers who need them to be able to bring them here. A key motivator for unions is that their viability and membership may depend more and more on immigrant workers – Latino union membership grew 21 percent over the last decade, while white, non-Latino membership dropped by 13 percent.
Now, labor and business are working together on the issue that so bitterly divided them.
The Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO have been tasked by Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer of New York with reaching a deal, within weeks, that Schumer and a bipartisan Senate group on immigration could incorporate into legislation now taking shape, officials say.
Both sides appear hopeful, although Schumer and others say the issue scuttled the last attempt at a comprehensive overhaul of immigration law in 2007.
This time around, officials involved hope for a better result, in part because all involved see the clear necessity of addressing what's called "future flow" — the influx of migrants to the U.S. that's sure to come whether or not Congress passes an immigration bill.
If Congress does act to provide a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants already in this country, it's just as important to deal with future immigration, advocates say.
Otherwise, some time from now the country will once again find itself home to many more undocumented immigrants.
"We're at a point where we have to take that issue really seriously and think about what kind of a system do we want to have in place so that 10 years from now, 15 years from now, we're not in the same situation," said Ana Avendano, assistant to the AFL-CIO president for immigration and community action.
The guest worker issue has emerged as a split between the Senate negotiating group and President Barack Obama, who omitted any such program from his immigration proposals, drawing criticism from Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a key negotiator on the Republican side.
Labor and business leaders were meeting Obama at the White House on Tuesday in separate sessions to discuss a wide range of issues, including immigration reform and how it fits into the broader economic picture.
Also on Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee was holding its first hearing on immigration, and guest workers were expected to be one of the dominant topics.
In his opening remarks at the hearing, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, (R-Va.), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said: "Our laws also erect unnecessary hurdles for farmers who put food on America's tables. Our agriculture guestworker program is simply unworkable and needs to be reformed."
The Chamber of Commerce "views the existence of a temporary worker program as vital to a comprehensive immigration bill," spokeswoman Blair Latoff Holmes said in a statement.
The U.S. does have several temporary worker programs already, but they're viewed as cumbersome and outdated, and experts say the majority of migrant workers in agricultural and other low-skill fields like landscaping or housekeeping are undocumented.
For business and labor, the question is how to come to an agreement on how many workers to let in and under what circumstances, how much they would be paid, and whether and how they would be able to attain eventual permanent residency, the critical step toward citizenship.
"Few aspects of immigration law are so divisive in terms of where the two sides stand," said Demetrios Papademetriou, head of the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute.
That institute and others have proposed creation of a permanent commission that would make recommendations about where and when workers are needed, an idea said to be under consideration as the business and labor groups negotiate.
The bipartisan Senate group has outlined parameters that would allow employers to hire immigrants if they could show they couldn't find an American for the job, and would respond to economic conditions by allowing more immigrants into the country at times of low unemployment, and fewer when unemployment is high.

'Cash Mob' descends on unsuspecting local business Saturday
A mob will gather this Saturday in the City Hall parking lot, but instead of signs they'll all be carrying at least $20 in cash.
This will be the "Cinco do Mo, Yo" said Dr. Timothy Hudyncia, with a laugh. Hudyncia and Lea Knepley are co-founders of Let's Buy Local, a grassroots, community-building initiative they started in November.
To stimulate the local economy, Hudyncia has organized Cash Mobs to descend on a business and spend, spend. As business owners participate in the mob, the selected target of the mob is kept secret until the final moment.
"Showing up unexpectedly and en masse is the objective, and none will soon forget the joy and beauty of the experience," said Hudyncia.
Mobbers will gather at 12:30 p.m. in the parking lot to get their instructions. Anyone is welcome to join and spend with a local business.
"Cash Mobbing is spreading across the country because it makes a powerfully positive impression on mobbers and the mobbed; because it's fun and rewarding, it's adventure shopping at a time when many independently owned local businesses are trying to figure out how to pay bills and move forward. Cash-mobbing is also being part of the solution, being the change, at a time when local economies are struggling due to the creative and massive marketing campaigns that pull people to the Internet, chain and big box stores, stores that invest much, much less in the local economy (and take much more, to our detriment)," Hudyncia wrote in an email.
