High gas prices roil House races

The Hill [Washington DC], by Ben Geman Original Article

Posted By: JoniTx- 10/13/2012 4:02:18 PM Post Reply

High gasoline prices have become a political wild card in California, where several tight races are pivotal to Democrats’ slim hopes of winning back control of the House. Gas prices are always higher in California, but lately they’re bad even by Golden State standards, soaring a half-dollar in one week to average $4.67-per-gallon on Oct. 9. Republicans have sought political mileage from pump prices, and there is more to come. Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.), who faces a challenge from Democrat Raul Ruiz, is running an ad that begins with shots of gas price signs

A nasty rift has opened up between President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the fallout from the terrorist attacks on the U.S. consulate in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens. This feud may undermine and threaten Obama’s reelection chances. (Snip) Hillary Clinton went to a Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) conference on the Middle East and North Africa Friday and tried to deflect blame from herself and the State Department -- some damage control of her own. She insisted the United States cannot guarantee “perfect security” for its diplomats overseas,

A Danish wind turbine company whose subsidiaries received over $50 million in U.S. stimulus dollars announced on Friday it has cut more than 800 jobs in the United States and Canada this year and may be forced to lay off another 800 employees in North America. This is yet another green energy company that received wasteful stimulus funds and does not even have anything to show for it. According to Reuters, Vestas, the wind turbine maker, saw its order intake go down by 24 percent during the first half of the year.

COLUMBUS- President Barack Obama's campaign is urging the U.S. Supreme Court not to consider the Ohio secretary of state's appeal in a dispute over early voting in the presidential battleground state. Attorneys say in a court filing the campaign said it submitted Friday that the court should let a lower ruling restoring early voting rights stand and not hear Secretary of State Jon Husted's appeal. Husted appealed a ruling reinstating early voting the three days before Election Day and returning discretion to local elections boards. The Republican also asked the court to delay the lower court ruling

The Obama administration finalized a program Friday to fast-track solar energy projects on public lands in six Western states. The Interior Department set aside about 285,000 acres for commercial-scale solar in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. The federal government will offer incentives for development, help facilitate access to existing or planned electric infrastructure and ease the permitting process in the 17 zones. “Energy from sources like wind and solar have doubled since the president took office, and with today’s milestone, we are laying a sustainable foundation to keep expanding our nation’s domestic energy resources,” Interior Secretary Ken

House Speaker John Boehner told about 140 Republicans at state GOP headquarters Saturday morning that the election is about jobs and President Barack Obama doesn't understand the economy. No Republican has spent more time working with the president on economic issues, Boehner said. “Let me tell you,” Boehner said. “He doesn't get it. As a result he doesn't understand how the economy works or how America works.'' Boehner said that former Governor Mitt Romney does understand the economy and does understand that government interference can cost jobs. Boehner made an appearance in Charlotte on Friday

The lawsuit claims the unions violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act through the use of threats, sabotage, and intimidation in a “shake-down” to coerce the companies to accept union demands. The health care companies charge that SEIU’s use of the help of politicians and

If you missed it, actress Lindsay Lohan came out in support of Mitt Romney this week telling reporters at a party in Los Angeles that she thinks, “unemployment is very important now,” which is why she plans to support Gov. Romney. The endorsement didn’t garner much media attention (Snip) As Weigel notes, it's not like either side was falling over themselves to score the lusted-after and enviable Bissinger endorsement. But Bissinger is emblematic of millions of Americans. These people don't follow politics, don't understand the issues with depth, and plan to vote based on what little information they've gleaned.

In charging his Republican opponent with putting "two wars on a credit card" in the October 11 vice-presidential debate, Vice President Joe Biden misrepresented his own voting record on the wars in a misstatement of fact that went unchallenged by both the debate moderator and the Republican vice presidential candidate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). (Snip) But as the Washington Free Beacon pointed out, Biden, then a senator from Delaware, voted for the same "credit card" wars Ryan supported. Biden voted with the overwhelming majority of his colleagues in favor of the Authorization of the Use of Military Force, passed in

Now, Smith is making a move that could change the way people think of the affable star.

U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, doesn’t think the Senate should call hearings yet on the Obama administration’s handling of the attack in Libya last month that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens. “Secretary Clinton appointed Ambassador Tom Pickering to do a detailed review asking tough questions,” Reed told WPRI 12′s Tim White in a phone interview on Thursday. (Snip) Asked whether the time is right for senators should hold their own independent hearings into what happened, Reed replied: “No, I don’t think so.”

Burton declined to comment on the amount taken, but said it was substantial.

A 21-year-old Swedish man fears that he will be unable to walk unaided again after Linköping University Hospital lost track of him, leading to a delay in the treatment of a routine foot fracture.

The extended hospital stay was made necessary after staff at the hospital lost track of him as he was moved across several wards.

Do black people support

Surviving slavery, segregation and discrimination has forged a special pride in African-Americans. Now some are saying this hard-earned pride has become prejudice in the form of blind loyalty to President Barack Obama. Are black people supporting Obama mainly because he's black? If race is just one factor in blacks' support of Obama, does that make them racist? Can blacks' support for Obama be compared with white voters who may favor his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, because he's white?

On Hugh Hewitt’s radio last week, National Review columnist Mark Steyn accused the Obama administration of using slain U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens as a political prop. Steyn, author of “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon,” particularly criticized the way top administration officials — including the president — referred to Stevens as a “friend.” “I think it’s extraordinary that the president and the Secretary of State and everyone below them knew … that his ridiculous [YouTube] video has nothing to do with [the attack on the consulate].

Magnets kill cancer cells in lab

Belfast Telegraph [UK], by Staff Original Article

Posted By: Maryland_Patriot- 10/13/2012 2:30:38 PM Post Reply

A magnetic method of killing cancer cells has been developed by scientists in South Korea. The technique uses a magnetic field to flip a "self-destruct" switch in tumours. Researchers have demonstrated that the process works in bowel cancer cells and living laboratory fish. Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, is one of the body's ways of getting rid of old, faulty or infected cells. In response to certain signals, the doomed cell shrinks and breaks into fragments. These are then engulfed and consumed by amoeba-like immune cells.

Moscow - Russia will not renew a decades-old agreement with Washington on dismantling nuclear and chemical weapons when it expires next year, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted as saying on Wednesday. The death of the 1991 agreement, which had been renewed twice, is the latest in a series of hitches in relations between the United States and Russia and casts doubt on the future of the much-vaunted "reset" in relations between the Cold War-era foes.
