The '80s had their fair share of movie blockbusters, cheesy films and of course great soundtracks. We have compiled our top 25 soundtracks of this most awesome decade. However, instead of rating each '80s movie soundtrack, they are listed by the year they were released. You wouldn't want us to play favorites would you?
1.) Fame, 1980
Fame is the original soundtrack of the 1980 Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning film Fame starring Irene Cara, Lee Curreri, Paul McCrane and Laura Dean. The original score was composed by Michael Gore.
The score won the Academy Award for Best Music – Original Score. It was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score, the BAFTA Award for Best Film Music and a Grammy Award.
The songs "Out Here On My Own" and "Fame" were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, with the latter one winning the award.
2.) Fast Times At Ridgemont High, 1982
The soundtrack album, Fast Times at Ridgemont High: Music from the Motion Picture, peaked at #54 on the Billboard album chart. The soundtrack contains many quintessential 1980s rock artists.
Several of the movie's songs were released as singles, including Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby", which reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Other singles were the title track by Sammy Hagar, "So Much in Love" by Timothy B. Schmit and "Waffle Stomp" by Joe Walsh. In addition to Schmit and Walsh, the album features solo tracks by two other members of the Eagles, Don Henley and Don Felder. The soundtrack also included "I Don't Know (Spicoli's Theme)" by Jimmy Buffett.
3.) Flashdance, 1983
The film's two singles feature on the album, "Flashdance…What a Feeling" by Irene Cara and "Maniac" by Michael Sembello. Both these singles peaked at #1 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
The track "Romeo" by Donna Summer was released as a promo video to MTV prior to the film's release, composed only of outtakes from the film. However, the song was not released to radio as Summer was on the verge of releasing her 1983 album, She Works Hard for the Money, and the title track was already becoming a major hit.
The Flashdance LP was massively successful, selling over 6 million copies in the U.S. and 1 million in Japan.
4.) Valley Girl, 1983
Many of the songs were minor chart hits in 1982–1983. Josie Cotton's "Johnny, Are You Queer?" was a regional hit in Southern California in 1981, reaching #5 on KROQ's Top 106 of the year and "He Could Be the One" from her album Convertible Music had reached #74 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982. The song heard over the opening credits is "Girls Like Me" from Bonnie Hayes' 1982 album Good Clean Fun, which "bubbled under" the Billboard 200 album chart at #206. The Plimsouls' "A Million Miles Away" and the Payolas' "Eyes of a Stranger" were moderate hits in 1982, reaching #11 and #22, respectively, on Billboard's Top Tracks chart. "I Melt with You" by Modern English reached #78 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983.
The end credits show songs by The Clash, Culture Club, Bananarama and The Jam, however, those songs aren't heard in the film. After the film was completed, problems arose in acquiring the music rights and substitute songs had to be dubbed in. Altogether, the music rights cost $250,000 on top of the film's original $350,000 budget.
5.) Sixteen Candles, 1984
Sixteen Candles is a coming-of-age film starring Molly Ringwald, Michael Schoeffling and Anthony Michael Hall. The film was written and directed by John Hughes.
The original soundtrack was released as a specially priced mini album containing only 5 songs. However, the movie actually featured an extensive selection of over 30 songs.
In 2005, Ringwald was reported to be producing a sequel to the film, however as of March 2010, Ringwald stated that she thought it was not a good idea to do remakes of great classic films. As much as a sequel sounds interesting, we're glad they won't be making a sequel!
6.) Purple Rain, 1984
Purple Rain is a musical film directed by Albert Magnoli and written by Magnoli and William Blinn. Prince makes his film debut in this movie, which was developed to showcase his particular talents. The film grossed over $80 million at the box office and became a cult classic.
The film is tied into the album of the same name, which spawned three chart-topping singles: the opening number "Let's Go Crazy", "Purple Rain", and "When Doves Cry". The movie won an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score, the last time this award has been given. The soundtrack sold over 10 million copies in America alone, and 20 million worldwide.
7.) Footloose, 1984
Footloose is an American musical-drama film that tells the story of Ren McCormack (Kevin Bacon), an upbeat Chicago teen who moves to a small town where, thanks to the town's uptight reverend (John Lithgow), dancing and rock music have been banned.
The film is loosely based on events that took place in the small, rural, and religious community of Elmore City, Oklahoma.
The soundtrack was released in cassette, 8-track tape, vinyl, and CD format. The soundtrack was also re-released on CD for the 15th anniversary of the film in 1999. The re-release included four new songs: "Bang Your Head (Metal Health)" by Quiet Riot, "Hurts So Good" by John Mellencamp, "Waiting for a Girl Like You" by Foreigner, and the extended 12″ remix of "Dancing in the Sheets".
8.) Beverly Hills Cop, 1984
Beverly Hills Cop is an American action-comedy film directed by Martin Brest and starring Eddie Murphy, Lisa Eilbacher, John Ashton, Judge Reinhold, and Ronny Cox. Murphy stars as Axel Foley, a street-smart Detroit cop who heads to Beverly Hills, California, to solve the death of his best friend.
The soundtrack won a Grammy Award for Best Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or Television Special (1986). The instrumental-only title tune "Axel F" is very recognizable and has since been covered by numerous artists. The soundtrack was mastered by Greg Fulginiti, and would feature different artists plus electronic style music.
9.) Ghostbusters, 1984
The film's theme song, "Ghostbusters", written and performed by Ray Parker Jr, sparked the catchphrases "Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!" and "I ain't afraid of no ghost." The song was a huge hit, staying #1 for three weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart and #1 for two weeks on the Black Singles chart. The song earned Parker an Academy Award nomination for "Best Original Song". According to Bruce A. Austin (in 1989), this theme "purportedly added $20 million to the box office take of the film".
The music video produced for the song became a #1 MTV video. Directed by Ivan Reitman, produced by Jeffrey Abelson, and conceptualized by Keith Williams, the video integrated footage of the film intercut with a humorous performance by Parker. The video also featured cameo appearances by celebrities who joined in the call-and-response chorus, including Chevy Chase, Irene Cara, John Candy, Nickolas Ashford, Melissa Gilbert, Jeffrey Tambor, George Wendt, Al Franken, Danny DeVito, Carly Simon, Peter Falk, and Teri Garr. The video ends with footage of the four main Ghostbusters actors in costume and character, dancing in Times Square behind Parker, joining in the singing.
10.) The Breakfast Club, 1985
Few could challenge John Hughes in 1980s teen coming-of-age flicks. This brat-pack extravaganza boasts the anthemic "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds, a hit so large it vaulted them into the collective consciousness.
The rest of it is more disposable. Elizabeth Daily (aka E.G.) was a kindred spirit of Pia Zadora in that people kept trying to make her famous, although in retrospect it's hard to figure out why. The Karla DeVito track "We Are Not Alone" still wears well, although it may be because it's synonymous with some great imagery from the movie. Producer Keith Forsey went on to work with Billy Idol and Charlie Sexton with mixed results.
11.) St. Elmo's Fire, 1985
The song "Give Her a Little Drop More," which plays during the movie when the characters enter St. Elmo's Bar & Restaurant, was written by British jazz trumpeter John Chilton.
"St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)" hit #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for two weeks in September 1985, and "Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire" (the instrumental theme to the movie by David Foster) reached #15. Another version of the "Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire" with lyrics, titled For Just a Moment was performed by Amy Holland and Donny Gerrard, and was included as the final song on the soundtrack album.
12.) Vision Quest, 1985
Vision Quest is another '80s coming of age drama starring Matthew Modine, Linda Fiorentino and Ronny Cox. It is based on the novel of the same name by author Terry Davis. In some countries it was released as Crazy For You to market on Madonna's emerging fame and the popularity of the song. The movie was filmed in Spokane, Washington, in 1984.
Modine plays a Spokane high school wrestler who falls in love with an older woman, an aspiring artist from New Jersey on her way to San Francisco.
The film includes an appearance by Madonna, her first in a major motion picture, playing a singer at a local bar, where she performs the songs "Crazy for You" and "Gambler".
13.) Back To The Future, 1985
The original 1985 soundtrack album only included two tracks culled from Silvestri's compositions for the film, both Huey Lewis tracks, the songs played in the film by Marvin Berry and the Starlighters (and Marty McFly), one of the vintage 1950s songs in the movie, and two pop songs that are only very briefly heard in the background of the film. On November 24, 2009, an authorized, limited-edition 2-CD set of the entire score was released by Intrada Records.
The movie features an Eddie Van Halen guitar track which Marty uses to convince George to ask Lorraine to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.
14.) Rocky 4, 1985
The soundtrack for the movie included "Living in America" by James Brown; the film's music was composed by Vince DiCola (who also composed the soundtrack for The Transformers: The Movie that same year), and also included songs by John Cafferty (featuring Vince DiCola), Survivor, Kenny Loggins, and Robert Tepper.
Go West wrote "One Way Street" for the movie by request of Sylvester Stallone. Europe's hit "The Final Countdown", written earlier in the decade by lead singer Joey Tempest, is often falsely stated as being featured in the film – no doubt due to its similarity to DiCola's "Training Montage." However, Europe's track was not released as a single until late 1986.
15.) Top Gun, 1986
The Top Gun soundtrack is one of the most popular soundtracks to date, reaching #1 on The Billboard Top Pop Albums chart for five weeks. Harold Faltermeyer, who previously worked with both Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson on the films Flashdance and Beverly Hills Cop, was sent the script of Top Gun by Bruckheimer before filming began.
Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock worked on numerous songs including the Oscar winning #1 "Take My Breath Away" and "Danger Zone". Kenny Loggins performed two songs on the soundtrack, "Playing With the Boys", and "Danger Zone". Berlin recorded the song "Take My Breath Away", which would later win numerous awards, sending Berlin to international acclaim.
16.) Pretty In Pink, 1986
The first track, "If You Leave" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, was written in 1985 in advance specifically for the movie. In addition to their song "Shellshock", New Order also had the "Thieves Like Us" instrumental and "Elegia" appear in the movie but not on the soundtrack. The Rave-Ups, who do appear in the movie performing "Positively Lost Me" and "Rave-Up/Shut-Up" from their Town and Country, do not have any songs on the soundtrack. Nik Kershaw's "Wouldn't It Be Good" appears as re-recorded by former Three Dog Night vocalist Danny Hutton's band, Danny Hutton Hitters.
The movie also includes the Otis Redding song, "Try a Little Tenderness," which actor Jon Cryer's character "Duckie" lipsyncs to in the film, and The Association song, "Cherish," though the songs do not appear on the official soundtrack.
17.) Down And Out In Beverly Hills, 1986
Down and Out in Beverly Hills is based on the French play Boudu sauvé des eaux, which had previously been adapted on film in 1932 by Jean Renoir. Down and Out in Beverly Hills was directed by Paul Mazursky, and starred Nick Nolte, Bette Midler and Richard Dreyfuss.
The film is about a rich but dysfunctional couple who save the life of a suicidal bum.
Flamboyant musician Little Richard also makes an appearance, and contributed the song "Great Gosh a'Mighty" to the soundtrack. The song's success led to a revitalization of his career.
18.) Dirty Dancing, 1987
Dirty Dancing is the original soundtrack of the 1987 film Dirty Dancing. The album became a huge commercial success in the USA.
It spent 18 weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 album sales charts and went multi-platinum.
Dirty Dancing's soundtrack spawned a follow-up album entitled More Dirty Dancing (1988). Produced by Jeff McCullough, the album went on to sell 42 million copies worldwide and is one of the best-selling albums of all time.
19.) Less Than Zero, 1987
Less Than Zero soundtrack was released through Def Jam Recordings and consisted of a variety of music genres, including hard rock, pop rock, hip hop, heavy metal and contemporary R&B, with most of the album being produced by Rick Rubin. The soundtrack found success, peaking at #31 on the Billboard 200 and #22 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and was certified gold on February 8, 1988.
Four singles made it to the Billboard charts. The Black Flames cover of "Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)" and Public Enemy's "Bring the Noise" were minor hits on the R&B charts, but LL Cool J's "Going Back to Cali" and The Bangles cover of "A Hazy Shade of Winter" fared better, making it to #31 and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 respectively.
20.) Some Kind Of Wonderful, 1987
Unlike most '80s soundtracks offer collections of radio-friendly hits from haircut bands, the Some Kind of Wonderful soundtrack features quirky non-hits from bands like the Jesus & Mary Chain, Flesh for Lulu, and the Apartments.
This delightfully non-mainstream soundtrack features Stephen Duffy's "Lonesome," the March Violets' unforgettable cover of the Rolling Stones' "Miss Amanda Jones," and Pete Shelley's "Do Anything." The highlight of the CD is unquestionably Lick the Tins' gravel-voiced, tin-whistle-driven cover of "Can't Help Falling in Love." Just listening to this CD can throw you into a John Hughes nostalgia tailspin that you may not want to come out of.
21.) Beverly Hills Cop 2, 1987
The film's soundtrack CD released by MCA Records includes only a different song entitled "Hold On," sung by Corey Hart. This song has different music and slightly altered lyrics. The movie introduced George Michael's controversial song "I Want Your Sex". It also includes "Cross My Broken Heart" by The Jets and "Shakedown" by Bob Seger which became a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as "Better Way" performed by James Ingram.
The soundtrack debuted #8 on the Billboard charts and spent 26 weeks on the charts, a far cry compared to the 49 weeks the soundtrack for the first Beverly Hills Cop. Despite this, one song from the album, "Shakedown" was nominated for on Oscar and the Golden Globe for Best Original Song. However, another song from the album "I Want Your Sex" was nominated for the Razzie Award for Worst Song.
22.) The Lost Boys, 1987
Thomas Newman wrote the original score as an eerie blend of orchestra and organ arrangements, while the music soundtrack contains a number of notable songs and several covers, including "Good Times", a duet between INXS and former Cold Chisel lead singer Jimmy Barnes which reached No. 1 on the Australian charts in early 1987.
The soundtrack also features a cover version of The Doors' song "People are Strange" by Echo & the Bunnymen. The song as it featured in the movie is an alternate, shortened version with a slightly different music arrangement.
Lou Gramm, the famed lead singer of Foreigner, also recorded "Lost in the Shadows" for the soundtrack, along with a video which featured clips from the film.
23.) La Bamba, 1987
Because the movie is a celebration of 1950s rock & roller Ritchie Valens, his music, and the music of his contemporaries play a central part in the film.
An original motion picture soundtrack album was released on June 30, 1987 on Warner Bros. Records. The album contained 12 tracks. The first six songs consist of Los Lobos covers of Ritchie Valens' songs: "La Bamba", "Come On Let's Go", "Ooh My Head", "We Belong Together", "Framed", and "Donna".
Other performers include: Howard Huntsberry, Marshall Crenshaw, Brian Setzer, and Bo Diddley performing a new version of his blues classic "Who Do You Love?"
24.) Cocktail, 1988
The four-million-selling summer party album of 1988, featuring the #1 hits "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin and "Kokomo" by The Beach Boys, plus radio hits by Starship, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, the Georgia Satellites, and John Cougar Mellencamp.
Cocktail is a romantic drama film released by Touchstone Pictures in 1988. Directed by Roger Donaldson, the film is based on the book of the same name by Heywood Gould, who also wrote the screenplay. It stars Tom Cruise as a talented and ambitious bartender who aspires to working in business and finds love with Elisabeth Shue while working at a bar in Jamaica. The original music score was composed by Maurice Jarre.
25.) Say Anything…, 1989
Say Anything… is a 1989 romance film written and directed by Cameron Crowe. It was Crowe's directorial debut. In 2002, Entertainment Weekly ranked Say Anything… as the greatest modern movie romance, and it was ranked number 11 on Entertainment Weekly's list of the 50 best high-school movies.
The Say Anything… soundtrack includes tracks "All for Love" by Nancy Wilson, "Cult Of Personality" by Living Colour, "One Big Rush" by Joe Satriani, "You Want It" by Cheap Trick, "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel, "Stripped" by Depeche Mode among others.
Roger Ebert called the movie "one of the best films of the year — a film that is really about something, that cares deeply about the issues it contains — and yet it also works wonderfully as a funny, warmhearted romantic comedy."
Other 80's movie soundtracks worth mentioning but didn't make the cut were: The Karate Kid (1984) — Because we think Bananarama were hot, A Nightmare On Elm Street: Dream Warriors (1987) — Because Dokken is awesome, For Your Eyes Only (1981) — Because Sheena Easton is also hot, The Big Chill (1983) — Because it has many 60's & 70's R&B classics. However, sadly … no 80's songs so it didn't make our top 25, Stand By Me (1986) — Another one with a bunch of classic songs (the 50's this time), Good Morning Vietnam (1987) — One more with another great classic (pre-80's) soundtrack. Ok, ok. So this list can go on and on but we're going to stop it here and leave you with our favorite 80's soundtrack song.

God told Willie Felix Carter to run for president. Anger inspired Roger Lee Wrights to declare his candidacy. And distaste for the current Republican Party made Jared Blankenship throw his hat into the ring.
Carter, Wrights and Blankenship are three of 13 Texans who filed statements of candidacy with the Federal Election Committee to run for president in 2012. Six, including Rep. Ron Paul, are Republican; three are registered as independent, there is one Democrat, two Libertarians and one member of the Eco-Green party.
Gov. Rick Perry – if he runs- and Paul can count on millions of dollars in campaign contributions and armies of volunteers from Mexia, Texas, to Manchester, N.H. But that is not the case for the army of unknowns who believe they are just as qualified to serve as commander-in-chief.
The other Texans' reasons for running vary widely, but there was one common thread: a deep distrust of politics.
Following God's advice
In 1988, Willie Felix Carter said he had a vision of himself in a car outside of the White House – a sign he took as God directing him to run for president.
"God promised to help me, and he promised to send people to help me," Carter said. "If the Lord had not inspired me to run for president, I would not be involved."
The 68-year-old launched campaigns -always as a Democrat – in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008. If he does not win in 2012, he said, 2016 will be his year.
Self-described as deeply religious, Carter, from Fort Worth, admitted that as president he would find it difficult to work with those who were not Christian or did not follow his ideals of Christianity.
"I will not be supportive of people who adopt a lifestyle contrary to my Christian beliefs," he said.
Carter said he has no deep problems with President Barack Obama's performance as president but thinks he would be able to provide Democrats with a better choice.
One man's campaign to end war
"There is certainly nothing special about me. I'm a fairly ordinarily person like everyone else," Roger Lee Wrights, 53 said.
After high school, Wrights enlisted in the U.S. Air Force to help pay for college, but the anti-war advocate requested a nursing post so he could serve without "having to kill a soul."
Wrights said that experience helped shape his presidential platform and message: ending all wars. He said this goal directs his views on the national debt, – he was against raising the debt ceiling -terrorism -he wants to bring home all Americans troops stationed abroad – and immigration.
"There is a war on everything. As I grew up there was a war on poverty. People are still poor," Wrights said. "Then there was a war on drugs, but people are still using drugs."
A former bartender and carpenter, Wrights has been active in the Libertarian Party organizations since 2000 and is a lifetime member of the Libertarian Party – a distinction earned by donating $1,000 to the party. Before moving to Texas, he served as a secretary and chair of the Libertarian Party in North Carolina. He now lives in Burnet.
Pushing a 'green' agenda
As the only member of the Eco-Green party, John "Green" Ferguson joked that he is assured he will clinch the party's nomination.
Armed with a thoroughly green platform -his views on most issues tie back to his green principals -Ferguson, 57, said his candidacy will remind Americans about the debt they owe to the environment.
"With the world falling apart, with the rain forest being cut down, the ozone going away and the animals going extinct, we need to start looking out for the benefit of the earth, because we live here," he said. "We need to make changes to live here with each other peacefully."
Ferguson moved West with his family as a boy, spending most of his life in Arizona before tiring of the dirt and dust and buying a 20 acre cattle ranch in Azle, he said. Raising Black Angus cattle and chicken on the farm helped him realize that any business could be operated in a green manner.
If elected, Ferguson said he would work immediately to put Americans back to work by mandating country-wide recycling for all waste, raising the tax incentives on solar power to 30 to 40 percent, and banning the use of all fossil fuels within five years.
The next Abraham Lincoln
In 1860, deep divisions in the ruling Democratic political party resulted in the upstart Republican Party electing its first president, Abraham Lincoln.
Roger V. Gary, a fifth generation Texan who describes himself as a "history buff," said the 2012 could see history repeat itself with the election of a Libertarian candidate.
"I started asking around, looking for good Libertarians who would want to run for president and I couldn't find anyone else to do it," he said. "So then I decided, 'hey, if no one else will do it, I'll do.' And that's many why I am in it."
Gary said his campaign will reach out to independent voters and dissatisfied Libertarians, Republicans and Democrats with a promise that his practical experience _ he was the director of the San Antonio River Authority and state chair of the Libertarian Party of Texas_will help him lead the country better than career politicians.
"Regular people are what I'm after," he said. "What built this country is people with practical experience.
Gary, from San Antonio, said his first move as president would be to "radically" shrink the government by 40 to 50 percent.
'We have to stop the growth of the national government. It just can not continue, it's a physical impossibility," he said. "We just get the government out of the way and let the people bring new ideas to the market. Would it cripple the government? Yeah, we hope so."
Inspired by Iowa
While campaigning in Ocseola, Iowa, Jared Blankenship said the belief Americans still have in the political system rejuvenated his campaign.
Running as a Republican, Blankenship, from Hereford, is facing a upward battle to carve out votes in next week's Ames Straw Poll, but it was the elderly man he met over lunch who was willing to pay for Blankenship supporters to travel to Ames that reminded Blankenship that grassroots movements can affect the party establishment.
"I was overwhelmed that there are still people in this nation that want to believe in something and are willing to back it up," he said.
A distaste and disbelief in the Republican Party prompted the former teacher to enter the race after he was left wondering how vocal minorities stole the party he had grown up with. As he toured more than 1,000 miles in Iowa and talked with business owners in Texas, he said he found many Republicans who no longer felt at home with a GOP dominated by social conservatives rather than small business "ideals."
"Most of our supporters are Republicans who feel that their party has run off and left them," he said.
Frustration with Washington
Vernon Edgar Wuensche does not want to be a Washington insider nor does he really want to be president, but is taking on his second presidential campaign because he believes the government has lost sight of its purpose.
"I'm running because I want to improve the governance of the country. I'm a business owner and my frustration is that there are no business practices in Washington," he said. "These people are just seeking power."
If he is able to win the general election, he said he would immediately direct Congress to roll back President Obama's health care law, dismantle both the departments of energy and education and draft legislation that would allow the presidents to fire 10 percent of the federal workforce annually.
With a platform that is "basically much from the mainstream of the Republican Party," Wuensche, from Houston, said he will see more success in 2012 than in 2008 because the Republican Party does not have a solidified base of candidates.
"If you Google my name on the Internet, I'm considered to be, universally, in the top 15 of all the candidates. I really should be about No. 9, 8 or 9 or 10 though," he said.
With an eye toward New Hampshire, Nevada and Florida, Wuensche said the largest problem he faces is a lack of funding. His big supporters who are "waiting in the wings," he said, are not willing to donate until he can prove he will make a serious mark on the campaign trail. For now, he said he has put more than $1,000 of his own money into the campaign this cycle.
Other Texas contenders include Gabriel Alexander Jimenez from El Paso, John Hoekel Jr. from Ivanhoe, Timothy Terrell Day from Galveston, Joseph Charles from the Houston area and Scott Andrew Cain from Garland and Harold C. Heard Jr. of Frisco.
These candidates will face a tough primary seasons as they battle to get national recognition, but with a strong belief that they can change politics for the better, each said they were excited for the cycle.
"If we want our democracy, if we want to the United States to survive, then we need to make major changes," Ferguson said.

Michigan State stays No. 1 for a third straight week in The Associated Press' college basketball poll, receiving all but two of the first-place votes.
Arizona moved from fourth to second Monday, drawing the other No. 1 votes from the 65-member national media panel.
Kentucky remains third while Syracuse jumps from eighth to fourth. Ohio State moves up two spots to fifth and is followed by Kansas, which had been second. Completing the top 10 are Louisville, Wisconsin, Oklahoma State and Duke, which drops four spots after losing to Arizona in the NIT Season Tip-Off.
Villanova beat Kansas and Iowa to win the Battle 4 Atlantis and goes from unranked to No. 14. The other newcomers are No. 24 San Diego State and No. 25 Dayton. They replace North Carolina, Creighton and Marquette.
Dayton's entry into the rankings makes for a brother pairing that could be a first. Archie Miller, who coaches the Flyers, is the younger brother of Arizona coach Sean Miller. It is believed to be the first time brothers have had teams ranked in the Top 25 at the same time.

text: I have noticed a lot of MOC's lately and was wondering what others feel about them. I used it once on my Cache Across America cache in Augusta when I put it out only because it had some nice swag along with some nice geocoins and TB's and didn't want them to be muggled. After all the so-called good stuff was removed I then turned around and make it a regular cache. Even the new MOC's that are being placed are simply micro caches, and who wants to steal a film canistor anyway? Anyway I was just wondering how others feel about MOC's. I hate to turn anyone away from caching and think that unless the cache owner has a lot of money invested into making the cache then I say let everyone get a chance at it. Those are just my thoughts.

Mike Holmgren has landed on his feet, but it's not in the NFL.
Holmgren has taken a job as a "regular contributor and NFL expert" for Seattle sports radio station KJR.
Holmgren has ties to the region going back to his 10-year run as the coach of the Seattle Seahawks. Holmgren's most recent NFL stop was with the Cleveland Browns, where he served as team president before being shown the door following an ownership change.
It's believed Holmgren is interested in returning to the sidelines, and reports connected him in recent months to the Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders.
Nothing came of any of it, however, and now Holmgren settles into a media job we imagine he views as a stopgap rather than a permanent gig.
At least, that's what he hopes.

Superstar couple Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have separated.
Rumors began to swirl over the weekend that the couple, who wed in 2000 and have two children, were heading for a split, and now a representative for the actress has confirmed they have split.
The rep says, "Catherine and Michael are taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage."
The "Wall Street" actor, 68, and his Welsh wife, 43, have not been snapped in public together since April, and People.com reports the stress of Douglas' cancer battle in 2010 and Traffic star Zeta-Jones' bipolar disorder has taken its toll on their marriage.

File cabinets with drawers labeled "U.S. Customs" and "Czechoslovakia" are among the first pieces of furniture in the 100,000-square-foot warehouse, followed by tall, metal shelves with accordion-style folders.
Rows of books, at least 18,000 volumes with some dating to the 1800s, are a few steps away.
"My Fair Lady" memorabilia and crates with the Batman costumes worn by George Clooney and Michael Keaton lined another wall.
This is the Warner Bros. archive.
And Leith Adams, executive director of the archive, spends his time here, preserving pieces of film history.
The Paris, Ill., native talked quickly and passionately about his work and love for film on a recent, exclusive peek at the archive, which is not open to the public.
Adams recalls when James Dean's "East of Eden" premiered, and he was 8 when the Hollywood legend died in a car crash in 1955.
"In my mind, it was one of the first tragedies I experienced," Adams said.
In high school, he wrote to the Warner Bros. office in St. Louis requesting stills from "House of Wax" and "Rebel Without a Cause," two of his favorite films.
A few weeks later, a letter from Warner Bros. in Burbank arrived, stating they would happily fulfill his request for 25 cents per still.
In high school, at the University of Illinois and when he served in the Air Force, Adams worked as a projectionist.
His interest in film would take him to Los Angeles in the early 1970s. He attended film school at USC, where Adams said he saw a student production he'd never forget, "THX 1138."
"The production value was so incredible; it stuck in my mind," he said. The creator of the 1971 science-fiction film was George Lucas.
Adams worked at the USC Warner Bros. Archive — called the "largest single studio collection in the world" — while at film school. The materials date from 1918 to 1968, with the bulk of the items coming from Jack Warner's mansion, Adams said.
"Every day for the first 10 years I would open a box and just go, 'Wow'," Adams said. "There were Humphrey Bogart letters to Jack Warner; a William Faulkner story that was never produced; photos of James Dean."
The quality of the photos and the fact that "Dean never took a bad picture" prompted Adams to write a book. After five years, "James Dean: Behind the Scenes" was published. Another book and film projects round out Adams' resume.
Adams' work at USC led to a Warner Bros. exhibit in Paris, France, in 1990. The night of the exhibit he would learn that the studio wanted him to work on an archive. Two years later, he was a Warner Bros. employee.
Guests on the Warner Bros. VIP Tour will see Adams' influence at the studio museum. He and the archive staff select the scripts, costumes and prop exhibits — an array that spans time and genres.
More than 220 "Corpse Bride" puppets, a few gremlins and Martians from "Mars Attacks!" rest in a special refrigeration unit. A note reminds workers the ideal temperature is 42 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
Row 24 holds artwork from the Hanna-Barbera cartoons.
And amid all the filmmaking history, Adams mentioned his quest for his first letter to Warner Bros. as a high school student.
"I keep looking for that letter," Adams said, joking about his own perfect ending.

Power (or sakhti in Nepali) is a source of a shaman's fame. Jongge enjoys power competitions a lot. Once, thanks to his sakhti, he opened a new source of underground water in the mountains.
Tyetye Bompo is a natural-born shaman and was taught the craft directly by Devil Forest, the mysterious ghostly being living in the jungle. As a child Tyetye spent half a year in the forest. He never had any official guru, but he won power competitions with other shamans. He claims to be able to change a piece of wood into a cobra.
Dubsang Tamang trains his son to become a shaman. This year during Janai Purima they went to Parvati Kunda, a holy lake linked with the cult of Hindu goddess Parvati, wife of Shiva. The lake is located a walking distance from the village. For the first time ever Dubsang Tamang's son was dressed in a full shaman attire.
Rikzen spent 4 months in the jungle. He is strictly against killing animals during shamanistic rituals, pudjas and claims that Bompos who require chicken being killed deal with devils, which is never good. That is why they often drink a lot of alcohol.
Nurbu Tamang has been practicing to become a fully qualified Bompo for the last 3 years. He often undertakes a role of a shaman helper during pudjas run by his guru from Shalgarbeen cast of shamans.
Risowangdi was trained to become a shaman by his older brother. He has been practicing as a Bompo for the last 13 years. Before becoming a shaman he served in the army. Risowangdi's father was also a Bompo, but he divorced Risowangdi's mother for another woman. Risowangdi himself married for love at the age of 17 and is a very proud father of three sons.
Kam Dindup has worked as a Bompo for the last 22 years. For him a shaman is a mediator between humans and gods. He claims that we live in the second era of humanity, The Era of Buddhas. The first era, which has ended many years ago, was the Era of Guru Rinpoche, the saint who brought Buddhism to Himalaya.
Shakti of Kami Tamang from Narobeen cast of shamans is famous across the Himalaya. Sometimes he is also called to run pudjas in China.
'Se bompo, se, se' is a series of portraits of Nepali Shamans posing in their living rooms by Photographer Martushka Fromeast made during her residency in Syafrubesi. More information on this and other projects here.

"Variations" was the theme for the latest outing of the Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra on Saturday at the Tivoli Theatre.
It began with Tchaikovsky's miniature "Orchestral Suite No. 4, Op. 61," more commonly known as "Mozartiana." Maestra Kayoko Dan turned in some nice work during the first three delightful movements; then Tchaikovsky ran out of inspiration, leaving the ensemble with nothing of substance to play.
That was quickly remedied, however, with Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43."
While most composers in the early 20th century assailed their listeners with dissonant new music, Rachmaninoff seemed stuck in the Romantic era -- and the public loved it.
Niccolo Paganini was the unchallenged showman of the violin a century earlier, known for a level of virtuosity -- it was rumored -- that came from being in league with the Devil.
Paganini's dauntingly difficult composition "Caprice in A minor" became the basis for Rachmaninoff's visionary work for piano and orchestra. The title "Rhapsody" generally refers to a more capricious treatment of material than does the term concerto. This work consists of 24 variations with dreamy No. 18 being the most famous, appearing in movies such as (appropriately enough) "Groundhog Day."
Tackling this monumental work was the diminutive guest soloist, Qing Jiang.
From the first notes, it was obvious from her dazzling technique and velvety touch why she already has amassed a long list of honors. Both orchestra and soloist set a breathless pace and Jiang's dramatic playing added to the exciting performance, diminished only by a certain lack of physical power and Romantic passion.
After intermission, concertgoers were treated to another pillar of variation technique, Edward Elgar's "Variations on an Original Theme for Orchestra ("Enigma"), Op. 36.
This work consists of 14 variations, inspired by people he knew. The "Enigma" (or mystery) of the title refers to the theme upon which the variations are based, but one that is never stated in the music -- or still identified by scholars.
Whatever the original musical motivation, the CSO gave a passionate and masterful performance, encompassing the nobility and grand sweep of this music. The strings (led by concertmaster candidate Xian Meng) were luxurious, the woodwinds mercurial and the brasses daunting. Under Maestra Dan's sure touch, the work surged relentlessly to a thrilling climax.
Not a bad finish for Groundhog Day.

|Gravestone of John Shepherd Coleman
John endured great hardships in his young life. His parents died and as a young boy he went to live with relatives at what is now Doe Run Inn. He lived in a little log cabin near the inn in less than desirable conditions. Two of his children lived to be over 100 years of age, as did his wife. I was fortunate enough to have met his daughter Nettie in person at age 101 and visited on the phone with his son Frank at age 100.
Good blog, Cheri!
@ Ruby Coleman, thanks...we are blessed to be part of the Coleman family!ReplyDelete
I was glad to find your information on John Shepherd Coleman and Margaret Jane Sharp(e). He may be the great-great-grandfather of my brother-in-law for whom I'm researching.
Let me start at the beginning. Ron's grandmother is Hattie E. Coleman whose parents, according to her marriage record, are William C. Coleman and Anna Loudon. I find plenty of documentation for Anna--even a second marriage after William's death. What I haven't been able to find are any primary sources for birth, marriage or death for William. John & Margaret's son is the most likely candidate as Hattie's father, but because I haven't found the documentation to prove it, I hesitate to connect them.
Can you help?? If so, contact Romanie at firstname.lastname@example.com

Retirement Planning
In today's highly-competitive marketplace, it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract and retain top talent. Salary is no longer the sole compensation driver. Employees are also looking at an employer's overall benefits package and its potential to help protect their families and adequately prepare them for retirement. These concerns are heightened by ever-changing tax laws, pension plan uncertainties, and Social Security shortfalls. As a business owner, you can offer insurance and retirement benefits that can make a difference for both your executives and your business.1
Providing for your employees' retirement can create a loyal and dedicated community around your business. A variety of retirement-planning products exist to provide the benefits that support your employees' commitment to your business.
Consider a few of the following retirement planning options.
Disability Income Insurance
Life Insurance
Long Term Care Insurance
Retirement Plans
1 There may be implications under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) depending on how certain types of insurance policies are made available to employees and whether such an arrangement constitutes an "employee benefit plan" under ERISA. Employers should consult their own tax and legal advisors for further information on potential ERISA implications.
2 Distributions under the policy (including cash dividends and partial/full surrenders) are not subject to taxation up to the amount paid into the policy (the cost basis). If the policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, policy loans and/or distributions are taxable to the extent of gain and are subject to a 10% tax penalty. Access to cash values through borrowing or partial surrenders can reduce the policy's cash value and death benefit, increase the chance the policy will lapse, and may result in a tax liability if the policy terminates before the death of the insured.

My Profile has been viewed 104714 times Account Information More Information Last Login to the website: 395 days ago Signed up: 4123 days ago Name: Salam7-سلام 7 Age: 33 About Me : If you wish to distill truth from falsehood, behave only like someone who wishes to increase his knowledge and to win greater recompense from God. Do not behave like someone who is content with what he has, who is looking for some fault to criticize or a curious detail to hawk around. This would be the behavior of vile men who never succeed in their studies of religion or search for the True path, wherever it may be. If you come towards God with good intentions, you will always obtain the best results. Otherwise, stay at home and off the net, that would be less tiring for your body, more worthy of your moral conduct and more salutary for your religious life. We know that,The enemies of Allah's Messengers use all possible ways to drive people away from the straight path "guidance", starting a severe media war represented in many different ways, as using obscenity in speech about the Messengers of Allah and describing them with obscene words. Almighty Allah says: " Likewise, no Messenger came to those before them but they said: "A sorcerer or a madman!"" { Sur'at Athariat, V: 52 }. So,Get your resources from the right places.

I read that Raj was out of print so when I saw it at a local game store I grabbed it and I'm really glad I did. What a neat game. Everyone has cards numbered 1-15, turn over a tile a nd bid simultaneously. Your strategy doesn't always work but what fun planning it. I'll be playing this in the parlor when I'm old and gray. Maybe then my wife will let me win once in awhile. Great game!
I purchased this game several years ago in a differenly named and themed edition called Raj. I was sad when it went out of print, until I learned that this was the exact same game under a different title.
The game is simplicity itself. Each player has an identical set of cards, numbered 1 to 15. There is a set of scoring cards (tiles in Raj) as well, which range in value from a high of 10 down to the horrible -5.
Each turn a score card is turned up, and players make a single card bid for it. In the case of positive numbers, the card is taken by the highest unmatched card. In the case of negative numbers, it is taken by the lowest unmatched card. After all score cards have been taken, the highest score wins.
So, sounds boring, right? It isn't. The whole unmatched mechanic is the key to the game. As an example. If four players all secretly bid their 15 card to win the 10 score card, and one player uses her 1 card, the 1 card player will take that valuable 10 score. This is a game of subtle bluffing and out-guessing your opponent. This is a game with almost as much subtlety and derring-do as a good game of poker.
Highly recommended for those wanting a quick, simple, and classic game.
I don't even remeber where I found RAJ, but now that I see it's out of print I'm glad I bought it; I only wish I took better care of the cards!
For my non-gamer friends, this was one game they actually took a liking to. (Well they also like Apples to Apples, but I'm glad they like Raj which let's us 'serious gamers' have fun too!)
I always get calls telling me to bring Raj to the next get-together. We even adapted Raj into a drinking game, making card counting in the latter rounds challenging. :-)
Another review here mentioned a near identical import (Hol's der Geier). I highly recommend getting it!

"I'm just stupid I guess," he would grumble. "You probably don't even want me as your son."
"Oh, Elijah, not this again," I'd beg of him.
You'd think that I'd prefer this type of penitential narcissism to five-year-old Benji's technique of adamantly denying the indisputable evidence of a crime smeared generously across his face or shoved deeply into his front pant's pocket truly believing, while being punished for his deceitfulness, that the wrong guy was nabbed and now he is unjustly paying the price for it. Yet as maddening and irrational as such blatant defiance can be, it points back to a sturdy constitution and a rugged, youthfully dauntless sense of worthiness that will keep dear Ben, God willing, from being crushed and irreparably damaged by future heartaches. I can work with a strong foundation, chiseling away at those knee-jerk, self-protective habits, inspiring all sorts of various takes on cheating, tattling, and slothfulness, through prayers for wisdom and discipline. But what I cannot sculpt or create with is material that crumbles to pieces the moment that pressure is applied to it; this world does not cater to fragility.
As the first-born, Elijah knows exactly how to get to me- that swollen eyes and a pained expression can slice clean through my often shaky resolve like a razor blade swiped effortlessly through Jello. If the day is getting away from us and I'm stretched too thin to be logical, his emotional degradation can double masterfully as a cover-up keeping Elijah and me both overly focused on rescuing his wounded spirit rather than nipping inappropriate behaviors in the bud. But when I am prepared, when my morning has been offered up to Christ instead of dumped haphazardly on my shoulders, I can separate myself from the drama and explain clearly, calmly, why his despondency is unacceptable, even offensive to this adoring mother. "I carried you in my body," I tell him. "You were fearfully and wonderfully knit together with a purpose and placed precisely in my womb, in my life. To give up on your ability to grow and mature spiritually is to negate our Lord's benevolence and compassion. To insult yourself, is to insult the one who bore you and that, sweetheart, happens to be me – the mom who sees potential oozing limitlessly from every fiber of your passionate being."
"What I hear in confession during Lent," said our priest last Sunday, "is that 'Father, its not working! I am behaving worse than ever!'" And once again I was uncomfortably caught off guard by his insightful candor. Because lately it's been one bad decision after another, a vicious cycle of impulsive and unintentional reactions gaining speed and momentum like tumbleweeds in a windstorm, revealing loads about my character and lack of restraint. "Can you ever just not stand yourself?" I asked my husband on the phone when the ugliness of my sinful nature became too obvious to ignore. "I'm just stupid, I guess" I grumbled pitifully to the Holy Trinity, "You probably don't even want me as a disciple, as a follower, as a daughter."
"But it is working," my priest continued, "bringing to light our hidden transgressions." Which is true, of course, because mine have gone on to ignite themselves like fireworks, exploding violently against the all too placid backdrop of my own self-confidence. If I hang around long enough, allowing the oppressiveness of residual smoke to fill my lungs, burn my eyes, and cloud the heavens, I too, like darling Elijah, will stay anchored in place and all choked up by my failures, which is far easier, I daresay, than the arduousness of a repentance requiring the dusting off of oneself, the changing of directions, and the faith to start over from scratch.
Beware of despair, said St. Isaac the Syrian. You do not serve a tyrant, but your service is to a kind Lord, Who, taking nothing from you, he has given you all. And when you did not exist at all, He fashioned you so that you would be in that [state] in which you now are. Who is sufficient to render Him thanks for the fact that He has brought us into existence? O the immeasurable grace! Who can sufficiently honor Him with hymns? For He has given us knowledge of all things. And not only of those which are manifest, but also of hidden things. For we know that if there is anything we do not know, it is necessary for us only to ask this [knowledge] from Him.
But do I want to be informed? That, my friends, is the million-dollar question. Do I want to come to terms with my own helplessness not for the purpose of excusing myself from trying but to honestly assess my position, accepting my utter dependence on grace and realizing that in order to be used by Christ, I must release both puffed up and disparaging opinions about myself. We are loved, every single one of us without exception. Forgive me for doubting even momentarily that Truth, the Truth for which You willingly suffered.
Parents mess up too, you know - every day, just like their children. Look at me, Elijah. We need to quit wasting time on regret and journey forward, secure in the promises of our Savior. We must mourn our sins and then depart from them instead of wallowing in their filth, and tepid stagnancy. With Christ as our core, we can endure the pruning necessary for bearing fruit, without wilting into dry and comatose nothingness. With contrition should come action and determination to be better, more obedient, less selfish than we were an hour, a minute, or a second ago. As long as we are breathing and capable of thought, we are expected to confidently seek out righteousness. Keep moving son, keep hoping, keep believing in the goodness of our God.

The fight surrounding seals and the public's access to Children's Pool in La Jolla resurfaced during the San Diego Planning Commission's December 9 meeting. The commission heard an appeal of a September 15 decision to place a 130-foot rope barrier across the beach, leaving 3 feet near the bluff for public use.
The La Jolla Community Planning Group filed the appeal nine days after the ruling. The community planners opposed the placement of the rope, stating that the public was not notified of the environmental hearing and that the decision did not conform to the coastal land-use plan.
During public comment, people opposed to the project gave their reasons as to why the commission should reject the project. Councilmember Sherri Lightner was the first person to take the dais.
The councilmember objected to the lack of notification by the Development Services Department that the project would be exempt from California's Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). She urged the commission to support the appeal and deny the project.
"It is reprehensible that city staff did not alert my office or the community of an environmental determination with a project of this magnitude," said Lightner. "The process was not transparent, and the public was left out."
While Lightner objected to the CEQA exemption, John Leek, secretary of the Council for Divers, objected that there was not adequate public access and that the barrier prevents vertical access to the shoreline, violating the California Coastal Act.
"We love those animals," said Leek, "and we love the ocean. Nobody has the right to separate us."
After hours of public testimony, planning commissioners commented on the appeal.
"Finding number one for a Coastal Development Permit says [the project] will not encroach," said commissioner Tim Golba. "You're taking 98 percent of the access to the beach, that certainly is an encroachment."
"There's going to be an issue with a permanent barrier," agreed chairperson Eric Naslund.
At the end of the meeting, the commission voted unanimously in favor of overturning the decision to place a rope barrier on Children's Beach.

There are so many other areas to enter the water around children's pool. Children's pool a is very small man made cove. Just leave it and the seals alone. The tourists love to watch the seals, it's great La Jolla.
But Mr Diver can't go a quarter mile to the giant diving reserve, noooo he wants to swim with the seal feces and the feeding sharks that cruise the breakwater. Great place for the children to swim too.
Exactly, chuckwalla. I was at Seal Beach a couple of weeks ago. There was one young seal up on the shore; I wondered if the poor thing was injured, or if it had been separated from its mother and just didn't know what to do. There were people getting far too close to the little creature to take pictures of it. It was very disturbing to watch. The poor thing was probably terrified.
People won't behave themselves on their own. Put up whatever kind of barrier works (I doubt a rope will be enough) and leave the poor animals alone.
The seals are more important than human tantrums about their "right" to tromp all over the place, regardless of how it affects wildlife.
Last time I went to see the seals there, they were all over at La Jolla Cove swimming. No doubt waiting for the city-approved Fourth of July fireworks.

Thanks again for the info. I just met my RX100 today so I'll get familiar with it then decide whether and how to house it.
I'm not working on the Mermaid or any other boat at the moment. I worked on the Santana liveaboard for a few years from Phuket, then later for half a year on Nai'a in Fiji and Tonga.
I would appreciate if you would contribute to my blog once you get to grips with the rx100 with your comments

This costume is awesome. When I got it I expected it to be plastic like it is in the picture but in reality it is satin and stretchy fabrics which look much better than the image. The pleather stockings are awesome too. No part of the costume is itchy and it is exact to the measurement chart.
The skirt is a little short but I am quite a tall person. It is fine and still wearable
Very elaborate print on the jumpsuit.
Quite clever velcro-attached printed foam pads for shoulder, arm, hand & leg robot parts, which endure kids play.
It runs a bit small in size. My boy is 6.5 years old and the 10-12 size we bought for him suited it him fine, since he wore pyjamas on the inside (winter in Greece in February), so I think, he will wear it next year as well, but no more.
The only poor thing I could say, was the plain grey back side, compared to the elaborate front.
I received it in Greece from Australia, so I should have expected delivery a week ahead of time of placed order.
On the whole you made a 6-year old boy crazy happy, so thank you very much CostumeCrazy!
Anna Saloura
Very fast delivery, very satisfied with the quality and the price. Would definitely recommend this to others.

Fox News likes to call itself "fair and balanced." Key words: "call itself."
The latest blunder for the cable news ratings leader is rooted in the new revelation that founder and chair Roger Ailes sent an emissary — Fox's national security analyst K.T. McFarland — to offer General David Petraeus political advice and tell The General that he'd be willing to quit Fox to run his presidential campaign.
For realz. Comes from Bob "Watergate" Woodward in the Washington Post. And for those about to whine that this is mere conjecture from the liberal media, here's a link to the audio of the conversation between McFarland playing bag man for Ailes to Petraeus.
Ah, yes. General Petraeus. You may remember him for the spectacular sex scandal that crashed his career a few weeks back. That Roger sure can pick 'em.
Listen to the audio recording of the conversation because it is full of gems — starting with how McFarland tells the General that "everybody at Fox loves you." Just because they're "fair and balanced" perhaps.
Fox loves Dave so much that they want to know if there's any suggestions he has, you know, when they're covering the news in a "fair and balanced" way. Dave says he's a bit worried about the "slant" he's seeing at Fox. They're sounding a little "skeptical"…you know, like journalists.
"The editorial policy of Fox had shifted," Dave said. "It was almost as if, because they're going after Obama, they had to go after Obama's war as well."
"Papers and news outlets have editorial policies," the General said. "They know sort of how their bosses feel about things . . . and it causes a certain shading."
Hmmm. Like say — hypothetically speaking of course — if the chair and founder of a network that bills itself as "fair and balanced" told a General that his network was COVERING that he'd quit to run his campaign for president. Would it be any wonder if the employees at that network "loved" that person.
And nice job by McFarland, who is supposed to "analyze" national security affairs for Fox. If she fawned over Petraeus any more than she did in this conversation, she could be his biographer.
Roger's response to Woodward?
"It was more of a joke, a wiseass way I have," he said. "I thought the Republican field [in the primaries] needed to be shaken up and Petraeus might be a good candidate."
Nothing breeds credibility more than the I-was-just-joking defense from the leader of the network. As they say on Fox, "We report. You decide."
