Men better multi-taskers
than women: study

The Local [Sweden], by Staff Original Article

Posted By: Photoonist- 10/24/2012 6:47:50 PM Post Reply

Working mothers may have to juggle more tasks than their husbands, but the long-held belief that women are better than men at multi-tasking is a myth, according to new Swedish research. "On the contrary, the results of our study show that men are better at multi-tasking than women," Timo Mäntylä, a psychology professor at Stockholm University, said. Men are sometimes better than women at handling multiple tasks simultaneously, but the performance gap is correlated to the female menstrual cycle, according to his study, to be published in US peer-reviewed journal Psychological Science. In line with previous research, men and women

Romney Takes Lead on
Economy; White Men are
the Movers

ABC News, by Gary Langer Original Article

Mitt Romney has advanced to a slight lead over Barack Obama in trust to handle the economy, and Obama has slipped beneath a clear majority in who better understands the public’s economic problems – two key metrics of the 2012 presidential race. These trends in the latest ABC News/Washington Post daily tracking poll aren’t strong enough to change current preferences, nor is the 2-1 view that Obama won Monday night’s final debate. But they’re among the underlying dynamics making the race seem closer now than a month ago. The candidates remain essentially tied, with 49 percent of likely voters for Romney,

Several early voters in Guilford County, NC hoping to cast a ballot for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney had an unwelcome surprise Monday when their votes showed up as a vote for President Barack Obama. The complaints came from voters who cast their ballot at the Bur-Mil Park polling site in Guilford, MyFox8 reported Tuesday night. While election officials say the problem is a mere glitch, a couple voters were rattled. Sher Coromalis, who had to try three times to have her vote for Romney count, told the local Fox affiliate that the experience was upsetting.

Dennis Miller, Ann Coulter

On Dennis Miller’s Wednesday radio show, Miller and his guest, Ann Coulter, offered their assessments of MSNBC host Chris Matthews’ latest round of antics, including his unexpectedly critical review of President Barack Obama’s first debate performance. Miller suggested that Matthews’ ego played a role in his breathless coverage. “I can’t believe that Chris Matthews is such an egocentric character, that he couldn’t see that he literally became the town crier on the death knell of Barack Obama’s presidency, when he came out that night and so needs to be the center of it

Washington – Seven new charges have been filed against Floyd Lee Corkins II, the Virginia man accused of shooting a security guard at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., in August, including one count of committing an act of terrorism while armed. A federal grand jury Wednesday returned a superseding indictment that lists the six new charges, including attempted murder while armed, aggravated assault while armed, second-degree burglary while armed, and three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. The decision marks the first time that a defendant has been charged with committing

MSNBC host Chris Matthews may not have tried his hand at being a politician — but he’s confident he would have excelled at it, and said as much in an interview with Philadelphia Style magazine. “He would have preferred a political career,” the interview notes. Indeed, at 28, Matthews was unsuccessful in his attempt to represent Pennsylvania’s 4th Congressional District in the House of Representatives. Years later, in 2009, “the hankering was still there,” as Matthews considered making a bid for Arlen Specter‘s Senate seat, eventually deciding against it.

Sources say counterterror chief
reprimanded for calling Libya
attack terror, White House denies

Congressional sources tell Fox News that a top administration counterterrorism official was reprimanded by the White House last month after he testified that the Sept. 11 attack in Libya was terrorism. The White House and the official are pushing back on the claim. But the allegation would appear to raise questions about recent administration statements that they were labeling the attack terrorism from the start. Sources told Fox News that, in fact, the White House was unhappy with Matt Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, after his Sept. 19 comments, and told him to tone it

Romney on Iran’s
‘Route to the Sea’

Why focus on the realities of terror-sponsoring rogue regimes, when you can mock Gov. Mitt Romney instead? After Monday night’s Obama-Romney foreign policy debate, the Washington Post’s Al Kamen is having fun deriding Romney’s description of Syria as Iran’s “route to the sea.” In commentary posted beneath a map of the Middle East, Kamen writes that “the fact-checkers went wild.” He notes, more in derision than in sorrow, that Romney has said this before, and “We had tried ever so hard back in February to get Romney to stop saying that.”

Why didn't President

The truth about what happened in Benghazi–and when President Obama knew i –could have a huge impact on the closing days of this campaign. Turns out the White House, the State Department and the FBI were all told two hours after the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi that an Islamic militant group had claimed responsibility. Two hours.(Snip)This is big. It suggests that the president had reports that very day that the attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans weren't because of some film clip. And yet–we heard just the opposite.

Forget Donald Trump, Romney
has proved he can win on his own

Billionaire Donald Trump sent word to all major news agencies yesterday that he had a "very, very big news about POTUS [President of the United States], news that borders on gigantic", to swing the election in Mitt Romney's favour. But at this stage Mitt Romney does not need any help from Donald "You are fired!" Trump to win. He can carry the ball past the goal line on his own. Who would have thought a month ago that the candidate once ridiculed by the press as "the second-place front-runner" would be in a dead-heat with the incumbent president?

Rock Center - In the midst of 48 hours of non-stop campaigning in crucial swing states, President Barack Obama said that the tightening of the race between he and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney doesn’t surprise him. In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ Brian Williams today, during a campaign stop in Davenport, Iowa, the president said that he never believed that the excitement surrounding his historic election four years ago and the achievement of taking out al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden would inflate his likelihood of re-election.

Republican Mitt Romney's campaign says he still supports Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock after Mourdock said "God intended" pregnancies that result from rape. The campaign has not asked Mourdock to pull a TV ad featuring Romney. Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said Wednesday Romney disagrees with Mourdock's opposition to abortion in cases of rape and incest. But she says Romney still supports Mourdock's bid. Romney himself has not commented.

The Obama Campaign, that strange 4-year marriage of Generation X hipsters, inner city bosses, suburban college educated boomers longing for racial healing, Big Green businessmen and shady Saudis, appears to be finally sinking beneath the waves. It isn’t going out in a blaze of glory, but with mumbles of trending topics. Obama was always a petty man and his campaign has descended into pointless pettiness, into Team Big Bird, binders full of women and bayonets and horses. Like so much hipster culture,

Fallen business titan Rajat Gupta was sentenced to 2 years in prison and ordered to pay a $5 million fine for leaking tips to convicted hedge-fund billionaire Raj Rajaratnam. Gupta, a former Goldman Sachs director who once ran top consulting firm McKinsey & Co., was convicted in June of three counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy, including tipping Rajaratnam to Warren Buffett’s $5 billion investment in Goldman at the height of the financial crisis. (Snip) The sentence fell short of the maximum recommended by prosecutors, who argued he deserved up to 10 years

With some national polls showing a steady Mitt Romney rise over President Obama, House Republican strategists are junking their fears that Democrats could net 10-15 seats on Election Day and now predict they could win eight-12 more seats in a big Romney victory. Strategists told Secrets that GOP pollsters are seeing big gains in rural areas and states like Nevada, North Carolina and Colorado ever since Romney won his first debate with President Obama. "It certainly is plausible now," said a GOP official of grabbing a dozen seats from Democrats. What's more, a solid Romney victory could help

The freshly appointed chairman of a federal investigation into the Benghazi massacre is an apologist for Islamic terrorism who has a cozy relationship with Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. And to add insult to injury, at press time Tuesday evening the chairman of this new State Department panel, former Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering, was poised to participate in a panel discussion at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., on “what role the faith community can play in fighting Islamophobia.”

Palestinians fired a total of 80 rockets at rural areas of southern Israel since Tuesday night, injuring five, causing damage and sending local residents fleeing for cover. The Iron Dome missile defense system successfully intercepted a Grad rocket over Ashkelon Wednesday afternoon, one of eight struck down since Tuesday night. IAF strikes targeting Palestinian rocket-launching squads killed four Hamas operatives, but did little to stem the flow of rockets. Hamas's armed wing, the Al-Qassam brigades, took responsibility Wednesday for a barrage of rockets unleashed against Israel since Tuesday night as well as the bomb that critically injured an IDF officer

Sandy Now a Hurricane,

Tropical Storm Sandy was upgraded to a hurricane at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, and its central pressure has dropped another 5 millibars in the 90 minutes since the last reading, indicating a rapidly strengthening storm. Thankfully, Sandy will soon run out of time to strengthen further. Unfortunately, the reason for this is that Hurricane Sandy is nearing landfall in Jamaica, where the impact will be worsened by the storm’s ongoing intensification — all else being equal, strengthening hurricanes are more damaging than weakening or steady-state hurricanes of the same stated intensity at landfall.

Washington - It may say something about the state of U.S. politics today that the high point of a presidential debate about the foreign policy challenges America faces in the 21st Century was a comment about horses and bayonets.

Islamic militant group

Beirut - The current international peace plan seeking to stop Syria's civil war suffered a major setback Wednesday when an al-Qaida-inspired militant group rejected a cease-fire proposed by the international envoy. Lakhdar Brahimi, the U.N.-Arab League envoy for Syria, said the government in Damascus and some rebel leaders had agreed to a four-day truce during the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday, which starts Friday. The modest scope of the proposal reflected how short the international community is on ideas — and even that appeared doomed. Both sides have agreed to previous, more ambitious cease-fires in the past only to break them,

I am writing to you as a representative of this great country — as an American,” she writes. “It is your job to vote. It is your responsibility, your right, and your privilege.
