Good news for Gambia's beleaguered independent press has been rare during President Yahya Jammeh's 17-year rule, but last week brought three potentially positive developments. It's unclear whether they mark a real change in the status quo, but they may at least increase the resolve of advocacy groups to seek improvements.
On Thursday came a strange twist in the five-year disappearance of reporter Ebrima "Chief" Manneh. Reuters news agency quoted the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, as saying that Jammeh had formally requested the United Nations' assistance in the case. According to Reuters, Pillay said Jammeh's request was "in response to civil society complaints" about the enforced disappearance of Manneh, who was picked up by state security agents at his newspaper's office in 2006.
The reported development is surprising because the Gambian government has for years ignored appeals from international institutions, including the U.N., the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and six U.S. senators, on the Manneh case. The government has consistently denied ever arresting Manneh, despite eyewitness accounts to the contrary. In 2008, the Court of Justice of ECOWAS, of which Gambia is a member state, ordered that Manneh be released and paid $100,000 in damages. The Gambian government has alternately fought and ignored that ruling.
Only recently did Jammeh and Justice Minister Edward Gomez admit any knowledge of Manneh's status, although their comments contradicted each other as to whether he is still living.
Modou Saidy, press director of the Gambian president's office, on Friday denied any knowledge of the request for U.N. assistance. "We are not aware of it and cannot confirm it," he told independent Daily News.
Also last week, the ECOWAS court rejected the Gambian government's appeal to a decision ordering the state to pay $200,000 in damages to Musa Saidykhan, a journalist who was imprisoned for a few weeks in 2006 and is now living in exile. The Court had established in its December 2010 decision that Jammeh's security agents illegally arrested and tortured Saidykhan during a crackdown ahead of presidential elections that led to the closure of his newspaper, The Independent.
In keeping with Jammeh's disdain for the ECOWAS court, presidential spokesman Saidy told CPJ on Friday that the Gambian government doesn't take the ECOWAS ruling seriously. "What jurisdiction does the ECOWAS court have on the Gambia? These organizations sometimes make these statements but they don't have any impact on the said government because they are not a court that can pass jurisdiction that will have any effect on the modus of operation of countries."
Ndey Tapha, the former head of the Gambia Press Union, feels that accumulation of such rulings could have a positive effect. The ECOWAS court's mandate stipulates unspecified sanctions if any of its 15 member states fail to comply with its rulings.
"In the long it may have some impact if we can compile a number of cases that the government has refused to comply with," Tapha said. She has lived in exile since June 2009, following her criticism of Jammeh's comments over the unsolved murder of Deyda Hydara, the co-founder of The Point newspaper who was killed on his way home from work on December 16, 2004.
Indeed, it's possible that the Gambian government is awakening to international scrutiny. On February 6, a local government official, Chief Mamadou Lamin Baldeh, withdrew criminal defamation charges against Momodou S. Jallow, a reporter with Daily News, local journalists told CPJ. Jallow had been arrested and detained for five hours at the Basang police station for reporting the grievances of local farmers, who accused Baldeh of mismanaging public resources. CPJ had earlier called on the Gambian Police to stop harassing Jallow for giving voice to the farmers.
Such a withdrawal of charges is unusual in the Gambia. But it remains to be seen how responsive the government will be in the weeks and months to come.

Behind the Curtain: A Conversation About "A Life in the Theatre"
When "A Life in the Theatre" by David Mamet debuted on Broadway in 1977, it opened hot on the heels of the playwright's first White Way explosion, "American Buffalo." Needless to say, the heartfelt strains of this new offering were somewhat off-putting for those expecting what the New York Times had called Mamet's "bad boy bluster."
Yet, Jason Heil, director of Monday's night's staged reading of this Mamet two-hander at the Encinitas Library, feels that this play fits nicely into Mamet's canon, despite its more vulnerable moments.
"It may not fit into the Mamet mold," he says, "but his writing style is very much there in this piece."
That iconic writing style – also seen in "Oleanna," Intrepid's Season Four opener earlier this year – is what draws this Shakespeare-focused theatre company to certain contemporary playwrights. Mamet, who so clearly stamped his name on the voice of modern American theatre over three decades ago, lends his signature style and phrasing, this time in a very poignant fashion.
Chronicling the life of two actors – one a veteran and one a promising rookie – "A Life in the Theatre" is a series of vignettes that take place off stage, backstage, and even onstage, giving the audience a sincere portrait of friendship, professional camaraderie, and even a little competitive spirit.
"They are always trying to pin down where they stand with each other," explains Jason, who directed last season's main stage production of "Turn of the Screw" for Intrepid. "As the play evolves, and the younger actor gains more status and more confidence, we see how his growth affects their relationship."
Bantering off of each other on Monday will be Sean Yael-Cox, Intrepid's Co-Founder and Artistic Director, as the young upstart John, and San Diego notable Dale Morris as Robert, the heavy with a wealth of experience. In a unique segment of San Diego theatre history, Sean and Dale appeared together in a production of "The Elephant Man" when Sean first moved to town in 1998 and have been looking for a project to work on together ever since.
"When we were planning this yearlong series, this play was one of the few comedies we had on the list," says Sean, referring to Intrepid's monthly Staged Reading Series at the Encinitas Library that has played to sold out audiences and standing ovations, and has featured contemporary and classical, as well as Shakespearean pieces. This month will mark the ninth installment in what has become known as a concentrated showcase for notable San Diego talent.
"We are lucky to have hosted the highest caliber directors and actors from the start," says Sean. ""The reading series has been a major undertaking. We've set the bar high and we are eager to maintain that level of performance quality for our audiences."
To that end, every once in a while – however reluctantly – the schedule must be changed to accommodate this uncompromising outlook. For instance, "Julius Caesar" was originally slated for the September reading, but with a cast of more than a dozen actors and a director visiting from Los Angeles, a November timeline ultimately proved to be a solution for scheduling conflicts.
"For us, it was important to get the right group of people, especially for Shakespeare. We didn't want to compromise on that," says Sean. "We try to remember that theatre is growing and changing and that it's a living thing, which means it can be a little unpredictable at times."
Fortunately, that also means that the Mamet treat originally scheduled for the end of the year will be enjoyed a bit early, and that September's audience gets to witness the dynamic connection between these two actors who have themselves been longtime friends.
"Both of these actors bring a lot of depth and groundedness to what they do," says Jason, commenting on the impressive body of combined work. "I'm looking forward to digging in and mulching around with them a bit."
One of the most interesting dynamics of the play, says Jason, is the fluidity of their relationship. "I like watching the two colleagues attempt to stay professional, to forge a friendship, to figure out the friendship that forges just by working with someone." Again, it is Mamet's words that endow that fluidity with a sense of realism.
"He creates this flow with the words that goes back and forth between the actors," explains Jason. "He messes up clean dialogue and the result mirrors the way we speak. In reality, our thoughts take us somewhere and we overlap and interrupt and we don't censor ourselves."
Jason also points out that many modern playwrights now echo Mamet's realistic style, which at the time of his debut, was a stark departure from the rigidity of his predecessors' clean lines.
"When you look at the 'classics,' even with a modern play, these are texts that are still going to be standing years later," points out Jason. "A 'classic' is a well-built script, where there's a lot of answers buried within, and not laid out on a platter. It's the playwright who knows how to write a play through the words and underneath the words at the same time."
Recently a Broadway revival starring Patrick Stewart and T.R. Knight, "A Life in the Theatre" has been described as Mamet's "valentine" to his business. Does that mean that non-theatrical types will still find the play as captivating as those who have taken a turn onstage themselves?
Jason is reassuring. "There are moments in the piece when it is really two people opening up about each other or their feelings for theatre and what theatre means," he says. "But it's more that we are saying come and take a peak behind the curtain, and we will show you what's going on back here."
– Tiffany Tang
A Life in the Theatre by David Mamet, a staged reading, will be held at the Encinitas Library, 540 Cornish Drive. Monday, September 23. 6:30 pm complimentary wine/appetizer reception. 7:00 pm reading. Please rsvp to firstname.lastname@example.com and pay with cash/check at the door or purchase tickets in advance. $15. Julius Caesar will play in November.

England are definately 2nd best in Test cricket. I am not talking about TEST CRICKET ONLY, so don't reply stating about what has happened in ODI, because I am talking about England's strength in TEST Cricket only. I am not talking about ODI so replying stating how good England is in ODI will be invalid as it won't have any relevance to the point I am making.
Here is why England is 2nd best in Test cricket.
-England has won a Test match in Australia everytime England has toured Australia in 1994, 1998 and 2003 and England are the only team who has won 3 Test matches in Australia in the last 10 years, in fact no other team has won a Test match in Australia since 1996 when the West Indies won a Test match. Australia are the best in Test cricket and have been for many years, therefore the fact England are the only team who can win a Test match in Australia makes England the next best team in Test cricket.
-England has won a Test series in Pakistan in 2000, the only other teams to do this are Australia and South Africa.
-England has won a Test series in Sri Lanka in 2001, and this is something not many Test playing nations have done if any at all.
-England drew a Test series in New Zealand in 2002 against the very same New Zealand team who drew a Test series in Australia a few months earlier, which shows just how strong this England team is.
-England won a Test series in 1999 at home against South Africa against the best team South Africa has fielded since their re-entry into world cricket. England host South Africa in a Test series this month and England has already shown dominance in the ODI Natwest Series and ODI is not England's strong suit and England is fielding a young ODI team and if South Africa's Test team resembles their ODI team and therefore England shall be far too strong for South Africa at home. England will win the Test series against South Africa this year.
-England won a Test series in 2000 at home against West Indies.
-England won a Test series at home in 2003 against Zimbabwe and comprehensively won each Test via an innings.
-England managed to win a Test match in South Africa last time they toured the African continent in 1999 which is something only Australia and New Zealand have achieved and New Zealand lost more matches than England did in the 1999 tour of Africa.
-England won a Test series at home against Sri Lanka in 2002.
Therefore it is quite understandable to see that England are 2nd best in Test cricket.
Now let's compare England to other nations.
India have not won a Test series outside of India in over 17 years, and were comprehensively destroyed in New Zealand, and Australia in a fashion that was nothing short of embarassing.
Pakistan have been destroyed by Australia on numerous occasions, and were destroyed in South Africa prior to the world cup.
Sri Lanka has never been a force in Test cricket, their results prove this.

BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All Time: #1
A "Top" Beatmakers List with a Deeper Meaning and Purpose
NOTE: If you've already read the disclaimer about the nature of the BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All Time, jump to the bottom for the link to the corresponding list number.
Whenever lists of this sort appear, they're generally presented with little or no serious discussion about the list beforehand. Perhaps that's fine for pure entertainment purposes. But for readers to get the best learning experience from a review list of this kind, I believe there are a number of things that readers should know up front. Thus, I'd like to offer an important disclaimer about the nature of the BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All Time list and the criteria used to determine which beatmakers were added.
The Nature of this List
The BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All Time list is one of the first sub-projects of the BeatTips Art of Beatmaking Education Project (ABEP) that I recently started. The fundamental purpose of the BeatTips ABEP is to help preserve, promote, and expand the beatmaking tradition of hip hop/rap music through a series of specialized projects. In this way, the BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All Time list is meant to serve as a discussion, MusicStudy, and general research portal.
Next, the BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All-Time purposely omits the word "producer", and here's why. In the hip hop/rap music and beatmaking traditions, the term "producer" is often synonymously used to describe a beatmaker. But as I point out in my book The BeatTips Manual, this is not always appropriate particularly because the definition of "producer" can be murky: "Hip hop production is the creation of hip hop music. And although this description broadly covers every dimension of hip hop/rap music, the term hip hop production is used most commonly to refer to the making of the hip hop/rap instrumental — the beat. So technically speaking, a beatmaker, one who makes beats, is a hip hop producer; ergo, a beatmaker is a producer." But "producer" is a loose term that can be used to describe anyone within the process of the final sound of a recording. Simply put, a beatmaker is someone who actually makes beats. A beatmaker can indeed be a producer; in fact, most double as both. (Further, being a beatmaker is not in anyway less noble than being a producer!) However, and this is a critical point, a producer need not be a beatmaker. Hip hop/rap music is littered with people who have "producer" credits, even though they never actually made (or assisted in the making of) any beats. Thus, The BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All Time List only includes beatmakers. Of course, each beatmaker on this list has also rightfully earned the title of producer.
There are four other important things to know about the nature of The BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All Time list. First, the purpose of this list is to educate. Hopefully, new beatmakers will be introduced more appropriately to some prominent beatmakers that they've only heard about in passing. And beatmaking veterans will be reminded of just how far the beatmaking tradition has come. In either case, I'd like this list to prompt some serious exploration and reflection from readers. Preserving and expanding hip hop/rap's beatmaking tradition requires historical examination, present-day review, future speculation, and, at times, constructive (helpful) debate.
Second, this isn't a list to appease anyone that I know personally. I can count a number of beatmakers as friends; and I've interviewed many well-known and lesser-known (but quite acclaimed) beatmakers. That aside, I've made no effort to show favoritism in the making of this list. My objectivity — and naturally subjectivity — in the making of this list was based on the catalog of work of each beatmaker that I seriously considered.
Third, this is not a list intended to be safe, so as to not offend anyone. Top lists of any kind tend to offend one group or another, so I'm all right with that. And certainly, a top 100 list would have given me enough coverage to include everybody's favorite. Even a top 50 would have allowed more room for adding all of what many would consider to be the obvious names. Still, a top 30 list presents a challenge, especially when you consider beatmaking's classic past and its mixed present. I'm not interested in gathering up an easy list of names. Instead, I want readers to seriously think, perhaps even broaden their own thoughts about how, why, and where they rank their favorite beatmakers.
Fourth, The BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All Time is not a "hottest in the game right now" list. I deeply respect longevity, particularly because it requires talent, drive, integrity, and hustle. I'm less interested on shining a light on just this moment in time. In fact, I believe all-time lists offer a better learning (and discovery) experience for readers. This is especially important for new beatmakers who are often less familiar with the names and critical works of earlier times.
The Criteria
When making the BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All-Time list there were many different things that I considered, far too many mention here. But there are 8 main criteria that I used in making this list:
(1) Body of work. Without the work speaking for itself, there could be no serious consideration of any beatmaker who made this list. And while I did not deem it necessary that each beatmaker on the list had a massive catalog, the sheer number of beats (recognized and respected songs) of certain beatmakers could not be ignored. Therefore, a larger body of acclaimed work was, appropriately, given more preference. Also, special attention was paid to how many songs a beatmaker had within the cannon of hip hop/rap music, as well as whether or not a beatmaker contributed to the career of another pivotal hip hop/rap artist's career. I should further add that the body of work that I've considered here is hip hop/rap only! Whether a beatmaker could or did produce music outside of the hip hop/rap genre had no bearing on where I ranked them with respect to hip hop/rap music. If I were ranking all-time horror film directors, it would be silly to include the comedic works of those directors as consideration in where they should be ranked. Likewise, neo-soul, drum-n-bass, dub step, etc. has no influence on a hip hop/rap ranking.
(2) Critical acclaim for a clearly distinguishable and/or signature sound. Preference was given (as I believe it should have been), to those beatmakers who either established their own well-recognized signature sound or contributed considerably to one or more of the 8 distinct periods of beatmaking.
(3) Minimum of at least three critically acclaimed (not just top sellers) songs, albums, collaborative works, etc. within the last 30 years. Part of being a standout in any art medium is recognition within the field. Sometimes this means big hits, other times it means well-respected songs that most skilled beatmakers know of or appreciate for what they are. And note: this particular criteria reflects the reality that some of the best in any given field are overlooked for various reasons. However, this does not diminish their work. Moreover, history is loaded with artists who didn't get their proper appreciation until late in or well after their careers.
(4) The number of lyrically acclaimed rappers — in their prime — who rapped over their beats, and/or the subsequent "classic" songs created over the last 30 years. This is of particular importance for two reasons. First, it serves as proof as a particular beatmaker's automatic place in the canon of hip hop/rap music. Second, it demonstrates the popularity and respect of a beatmaker among the best rhymers of their and other times.
(5) Real, not misperceived, impact and influence on other top beatmakers
of all time. Everybody has to be influenced by someone. But who influenced most of the beatmakers on the BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All-Time list? Not surprisingly, many influenced each other.
(6) Real, not misperceived, overall impact (or likely impact) on the beatmaking tradition. In other words, what was their recognizable impact on the beatmaking tradition itself? For instance, what developments, styles, techniques, ideas, etc. did they contribute to the beatmaking tradition?
(7) Longevity. How long was a beatmaker able to maintain his career. For various reasons, some beatmaker's careers were cut short, while others have continued to blossom since they first began. Thus, longevity wasn't measured in a sheer number of years, but in terms of body of work within the frame of time a beatmaker made his name. Think of it this way: Jimi Hendrix's entire body of work is just four years…
(8) Projected influence and impact on future beatmakers. Of course, this is speculation at best. No one can predict the future. Still, we can recognize the lasting contributions made to the beatmaking tradition by certain beatmakers.
One final note about this list: It's not static. That is to say, the beatmaking tradition is constantly expanding, therefore, this list will necessarily need to be adjusted to account for new production output by beatmakers, as well as new research by myself. Thus, each new year, in September, a new BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All-Time list will be generated.
Click here to see the breakdown for #3 on the BeatTips Top 30 Beatmakers of All Time list. Note: Each day in September, one number from the top 30 will be revealed, continuing from #30 all the way to #1.

(For my regulars, they will know I am a bit of a complaint letter pro. I don't do it just because, I only do it if I feel quite strongly that the HQ should know about poor service/staff. Anyway….)
So, about…oooh, half an hour ago, I got the chocolate craving, so Mr Candy went out to get me a Cadbury's Fruit and Nut bar for me – alas….there were barely any nuts in mine and about one raisin! In the old days it was like crunch crunch through the nuts.
Being a saddo, I twittered this, and fellow twitterer @zoella told me that Cadbury's are pretty good with complaints so I rustled this up in 5 mins and have sent it off.
Below is exactly what I sent them. Shall I let you know how they respond?
Dear Cadburys,
I'm writing this email, not trying to offend,
But I'm eating a Fruit & Nut Bar and its driving me round the bend –
I sent out the Mr, because I needed some nuts,
"How about a Wispa instead?"
I said "No – now move your fat butt."
Now I've eaten almost half whilst watching tv,
But the only nut I've found was the size of a pea.
What about the raisins? I need my five a day –
But I can't see any – I won't get vitamins this way!
So I hope you can tell me where the nuts have all gone,
The LOT code is L-9-2-3-0-N and B-1
Seamus Heaney should be scared, right?
Was I right to complain?
Will they send round the men in white coats?

Poway athlete Kourtney Shaw says she was often overlooked in youth softball because of her small size.
Now, the high school sophomore is planning to play for one of the best colleges in the country.
"It was really exciting. It was unreal. I never thought I'd be committing as a sophomore," Shaw told NBC 7 San Diego.
Shaw updated her Facebook cover photo two months ago to add an image of her in her Titan letter jacket standing with UC Berkeley coaches Diane Ninemire, Tammy Lohmann and John Reeves.
Shaw and coach Monica Fenton said the Cal Golden Bears have made a verbal commitment to Shaw even before she finishes her second year of high school.
Why commit to her so early? Shaw's overall record is 16-6 with her league record at 3-1 according to high school sports website Maxpreps.
With her average speed nearly 60 miles per hour for a fastball, it's not the power of her pitches that caught Cal's attention according to her coach.
Fenton says it's how the pitches break unexpectedly that make them very hard to hit.
"I like the screw which is inside to righty batters because I get 'em all on strikeouts," Shaw said.
More and more, girls are getting verbal commitments at a young age to secure the best players for their team.
"It's actually becoming the trend, especially for pitchers, for young players, colleges are putting them on a watchlist really early," said Fenton.
Understanding that college will likely be the pinnacle of her career, Shaw said she's already thinking about what she'll study.
"I'm kinda looking into physical therapy or athletic training because I'm really into sports and I don't want to lose that," she said. "I'm sure I can find something in that area up at Cal."
Shaw says some girls are getting offers as early as 8th grade to join top softball.

Macklemore's On Fire: #1 Hits, Rolling Stone and VMA Noms! [INTERVIEW + PHOTOS]
Thrift Shop. Can't Hold Us. Billboard #1. Rolling Stone Magazine. 2013 has been a good year for Seattle rapper Macklemore who has become a household name in just under a year. The ironic lyrics and music video for his first hit "Thrift Shop" set the tone for Macklemore's underground mix tape persona.
Three hits and counting Macklemore and his collaborator Ryan Lewis can write a SERIOUS earworm. Earlier this year, their cult song "Thrift Shop" sent teens all over the country scouting out vintage fashion like the rapper sports in his music video. Reaching over 400 million views on YouTube, "Thrift Shop" was the first single to reach number 1 on the Hot 100 chart without backing from a major label since the early 90's.
The duo's second single "Can't Hold Us" followed up with another #1 rank, making them the only artists in history to have their first two singles reach the elite top Billboard spot. This year, Macklemore was also asked to pose for the August cover of the music industry's coveted Rolling Stone magazine. He opened up about the opportunity, "... you have a long weekend of interviewing with somebody it's like six hours worth of interview stuff, you have no idea how they're going to portray you. I have no idea how they're going to portray me…[or] what's going to be written about me, and how the picture's going to turn out." There was some tension when his partner, Ryan Lewis, was not asked to pose Rolling Stone. Macklemore commented, " I think that it probably sucks for him a little bit, I mean of course he wants to be on the cover of Rolling Stone."
But they aren't parting ways anytime soon. The pair is up for six awards at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, a number only matched by music vet Justin Timberlake. They told MTV the song they really want to win for is their equality anthem "Same Love" which is up for Best Video with a Social Message. Macklemore commented about "Same Love"'s controversial message, "There's some boycotting every once and awhile at a show or two, but for the most part it's been really positive. I thought there would be more backlash, so it's been refreshing that there hasn't been."
What's in store for Macklemore's future? A WEDDING! He just proposed to his girlfriend of seven years! In 2014 he's going to slow it down. "Once 2014 hits, we're going to stop taking shows...and just chill out. Make some music. Live some life. It comes down to being able to have an existence outside...I've been trying to write raps this year, and every rap is about an airplane. I'm in coach again, here it is." We're looking forward to hearing more from this talented, fun, down-to-earth guy!

I just love how all the elements played off of the building!" Keep clicking to check out the beautiful global details.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – With the economy showing some signs of improvement three weeks before Election Day, President Barack Obama on Monday laid down a full embrace of the economic record many Republicans say is his biggest weakness.
The president's first act in this critical campaign week was to announce a new battleground state advertisement featuring voters discussing the ways their economic conditions have improved during his term. The ad was hitting the airwaves as Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney huddled in intense preparation for their second debate tonight as polls show a closely fought campaign.
"This race is tied," Obama said in an appeal to supporters asking them to donate at least $5 to his re-election effort. He promised to be "fighting" for the election on the debate stage – something many of his supporters thought he did too little of in his first face-off with Romney.
Early voting is under way in dozens of states, giving the candidates little chance to recover from any slip-ups that come in these final days. Obama has been trying to get his supporters to lock in their choice now, and his campaign announced Monday that he and his wife, Michelle, would become the first president and first lady to cast their ballots early.
Obama planned to vote early during a visit to his home state of Illinois next week, while Michelle Obama told a rally in Delaware, Ohio, that she dropped her absentee ballot in the mail Monday.
"For me, it was Election Day," she said.
Even as polls show the race tightening nationally and in battleground states, Obama's campaign aides say they are encouraged by public and private surveys showing voters growing more confident about the direction of the economy. Those trends are behind the new 30-second spot the campaign is running in Colorado, Iowa, Nevada and Virginia.
"Stick with this guy," a gravelly voiced man says at the end of the commercial in a point Obama hopes wavering voters will embrace. A second ad targeted at Ohio voters features former astronaut and Sen. John Glenn touting Obama's character and economic record.
Aides argue that some voters got a psychological boost when the unemployment rate fell below 8 percent last month for the first time since Obama's inauguration. But the campaign says it puts more stock in economic indicators showing an increase in consumer confidence and retail spending, which indicate shifts in voter behavior.
Retail sales rose 1.1 percent last month, the Commerce Department said Monday. That followed a 1.2 percent increase in August, which was revised slightly higher. Both were the largest gains since October 2010.
Still, with millions of Americans still out of work, the campaign is trying to walk a fine line between touting economic gains and acknowledging that many voters are still struggling.
GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan lambasted Obama's handling of the deficit during an appearance Monday in Ryan's home state of Wisconsin. He pointed to a digital scoreboard his campaign set up at the far end of Carroll University's field house that tracked the growth of the nation's deficit in real time.
"Look at how fast those numbers are running," Ryan said. "We know without a shred of doubt that we have consigned the next generation to this path of debt."
He acknowledged that Obama inherited "a tough situation" when he took office but argued the president has only made things worse. He touted Romney's plan to cut taxes by 20 percent across the board as the path back to economic growth.
Obama campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said the president would seek to run on his economic record, not away from it, during tonight's debate.
"He would be happy to spend the entire debate talking about their visions for the middle class," Psaki told reporters in Williamsburg, Va., where Obama and his advisers were in the midst of an intense, three-day "debate camp" at a golf resort.
Obama's campaign, seeking to rebound from a dismal first debate, promised a more energetic president would take the stage tonight at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. Romney's team aimed to build on a commanding opening debate that gave the Republican new life in a White House race that had once appeared to be slipping away from him.
"The debate was huge and we've seen our numbers move all across the country," Romney's wife, Ann, said in an interview on Philadelphia radio station WPHT. She talked about the larger crowds her husband has been drawing in the aftermath of that first face-off. "That's what you call momentum," she said.
Much of the pressure in the coming debate will be on Obama, who aides acknowledge showed up at the first face-off with less practice – and far less energy – than they had wanted. Romney, who has made no secret of the huge priority his campaign puts on the debates, practiced Monday at a hotel near his home in Massachusetts.
Romney's advisers suggested the Republican nominee would continue to moderate his message – in tone, if not substance – as he did in the Oct. 3 meeting to help broaden his appeal to the narrow slice of undecided voters. In recent days, Romney has promised his tax plan would not benefit the wealthy, emphasized his work with Democrats as Massachusetts governor and downplayed plans to curtail women's abortion rights.
Ann Romney focused on the struggles women face in her radio interview. "The numbers don't lie and what the numbers tell us is that more women have been hurt by this economy than men, more women are unemployed, and more women have fallen into poverty in the last four years," she said. "We do hear their voices."
During debate preparations, aides are working on tailoring that message to a debate format. They're also working on balancing aggressive tactics with the debate's town-hall format, which often requires candidates to show a connection with questioners from the audience.
Also Monday, Romney's campaign announced it raised $170.4 million last month with the Republican Party, a little behind Obama's $181 million September haul with the Democratic Party. Romney and the GOP had been raising more money than Obama and the Democrats by mid-summer, but that changed last month. Both candidates are using their millions to expand campaign offices and flood airwaves with television ads in key in the election's final weeks.

text: At Roanoke Birth Services I focus on providing nurturing doula care to women and their families during perhaps the most fulfilling times in their lives. I believe in every woman's right to be respected by those she employs to take care of her and her family. I believe every woman deserves to be fully supported not only physically, but emotionally, during her pregnancy and childbirth. I believe that we as women never forget how we felt, and were made to feel during the births of our children, and that the way we are treated during this vulnerable time impacts our future. I encourage all women to take responsibility for their pregnancy and birth by acquiring knowledge that will help them make informed decisions about the care they and their babies receive. I hope to inspire in my clients a deep trust in the birth process, and in their body's ability to give birth. Currently I am offering a discounted rates for doula sevice. See my website at www.roanokebirth.com for more information about doula service as well as holistic postpartum healing via placenta encapsulation!

Defendants in reverse-payment actions pending in the Third Circuit (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware) take note: in In re Effexor XR Antitrust Litigation the Honorable Joel A. Pisano, U.S.D.J., of the District of New Jersey has stayed several class-action litigations challenging the legality of certain reverse-payment settlement agreements between Wyeth and generic drug manufacturer Teva Pharmaceuticals, pursuant to which Wyeth allegedly paid Teva to delay its marketing of a generic counterpart to Wyeth's Effexor XR drug.
Judge Pisano issued the stay in light of the pending petition for certiorari with respect to the Third Circuit's decision in In re K-Dur Antitrust Litigation, which created a circuit split by holding that reverse-payment settlement agreements constitute "prima facie evidence of an unreasonable restraint of trade" in violation of federal antitrust laws, even if the settlement agreement does not exceed the scope of the patent in suit. Other circuits, in contrast, have upheld such reverse-payment agreements when the agreement corresponds to the scope of the patent. Our sister blog, the Gibbons IP Law Alert, previously reported here and here on the circuit split and the pending petitions for certiorari on this issue.
Judge Pisano's stay is to continue until the K-Dur proceedings in the Supreme Court have been concluded. Thus, if the Supreme Court hears K-Dur on the merits, the length of the stay could be significant.

Dressed for Jess Success! (ポケモンコンテスト! スイレン大会!! Pokémon Contest! Lilypad Tournament!!) is the 42nd episode of Pokémon: DP Galactic Battles.
Episode Plot
Before the Contest, Ash and Dawn train. Grotle uses Energy Ball and Mamoswine Ice Shard, but they swallow them. Brock explains to Khoury and Lyra that when Grotle swallowed Energy Ball by accident, Dawn and Ash now learned how to power their Pokémon up. Since it worked, Dawn now sees that she has a chance to win. Cyndaquil lets fire out its back to prove it can be in a Contest, but Dawn disagrees; she has Piplup and Mamoswine to compete in this Contest. Still, she lets it cheer for them and when she hugs it, Piplup gets shocked and Dawn burned by Cyndaquil. Nevertheless, she promises to get the last Ribbon.
Meanwhile, Jessie got sick, but still wants to compete in the Contest. James and Meowth stop her and tell her she needs to let this one go. Jessie does not want to, but has a back-up plan. The Contest is about to begin, so Lyra, Brock, Ash and Khoury visit Dawn. Lyra remarks Dawn's dress and sees that her confidence is nearly as big as Ash's confidence. She sees another Coordinator and Ash, Brock and Dawn recognize her as Jessilina. Lyra remarks her dress and asks where she got it, but she does not know and nervously goes out. It is James who is dressed like her and doubts he will win, though Meowth reminds him he needs to or Jessie will be sick even more.
First is Dawn, who sends Piplup. He starts using Whirlpool and uses Bide before engulfing himself in the Whirlpool, glowing by a blue light. Lyra and Khoury agree that the first round can be called as a Talent Show. After some performances, it is James (aka Jessilina)'s turn. He sends Meowth (without using the Poké Ball), who uses Fury Swipes to cut a noodle ball to get some noodles (making Christopher proud). Lyra is proud of Piplup's performance, even James thinks he can get into another Contest. The judges decided the eight Coordinators; among them are Dawn and Jessilina. Now, Dawn has decided to use Mamoswine, even if Lyra thinks Buneary is a better choice.
Dawn sends Mamoswine and her opponent a Granbull. Granbull starts with Fire Fang, though Mamoswine dodges. Mamoswine uses Ice Shard and swallows it. Mamoswine uses Hidden Power and circles around itself, then takes down Granbull. This causes Granbull to be defeated, so Dawn wins, even if she is surprised how little it took her. Dawn feels a bit sad, as she could have displayed Mamoswine even more. Nevertheless, she decides to display Mamoswine a bit more in the next round. After some battles, James and Dawn got into next round. Dawn sends Mamoswine and James his Carnivine.
Mamoswine uses Ice Shard and goes to swallow it, but Carnivine snatches it using Vine Whip. Being all furious, Mamoswine fails to dodge Ice Shard Carnivine returned. Mamoswine is very angry and uses Take Down without Dawn's orders, though Carnivine jumps to dodge. Mamoswine goes to take down Carnivine, but misses. It uses Hidden Power, but misses, as Carnivine even dodges AncientPower. Ignoring Dawn's orders, Mamoswine goes for another Take Down, but Carnivine uses Vine Whip to bind its tusks and send it down. This causes the judges' table to be destroyed and time is up. With all the order ignorance, Mamoswine gave Dawn a loss and Jessilina a victory.
Mamoswine is sad, even if Dawn tells it there is next time to win. Lyra tells Dawn she should have used another Pokémon instead, but Dawn is not worried, as she had to see what Mamoswine offered. Lyra is surprised that Dawn is so positive. Suddenly, they hear Jessilina won the last battle and the Ribbon. Team Rocket is happy that James got the Ribbon. While pleased, Jessie is angry that James and Meowth got a lot of applause. So, she puts her dress on (as she is cured) and promises to get more Ribbons, making James and Meowth relieved they are not scolded. Dawn gives Mamoswine some Poffins and promises to train even harder, while Brock and Ash offer help to get her the last Ribbon.
- With the exception of those owned by main characters, all of the Pokémon that are seen to be entered in the Lilypad Contest were introduced in Generation II.
- Instead of Professor Oak's lecture, a preview of the Team Galactic finale was shown, which was revealed to be airing in November 2009 in Japan.
- This is the first episode since One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team! to have Piplup returned to his Poké Ball for a period of time.
- James's win of the Lilypad Contest marks the first time a main character participated in a Pokémon Contest and won it on their first try.
- In addition, it also marks the first time James has cross-dressed in the Diamond & Pearl series, something that used to be a frequent running gag for him.
- This episode's English title is most likely based on the phrase dressed for success.
- Similar to Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!, no dub added music was present within the episode, including the title card music.
- During Dawn's appeal round, an instrumental version of By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~ is used.
- One of Hitmontop's feet is miscolored.
- In the Brazilian translation, Piplup's Bide is mistranslated as "Bite".
