  42. August 24, 2012, (&lt;a href=&quot;http://lifesitenews.com/&quot;&gt;LifeSiteNews.com&lt;/a&gt;) – Did Obama vote in favor of infanticide? Pro-life activists have long &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/archive/ldn/2008/aug/08081101&quot;&gt;made the argument&lt;/a&gt; that he did, and that a conspiracy of silence from the mainstream media is the only thing that has prevented Americans from knowing the full extent of Obama’s extreme views on the abortion issue.&lt;br /&gt;
  43. Now, newly unearthed audio from 2002 shows Barack Obama, then a state senator in Illinois, discussing the bill that has elicited charges that he voted to allow “infanticide”: the Born Alive Infant Protection Act (BAIPA).&lt;br /&gt;
  44. &lt;div class=&quot;photo-left  clear&quot; id=&quot;image_wrapper3&quot; style=&quot;width: 225px;&quot;&gt;

  46. &lt;div class=&quot;article-img-caption&quot;&gt;
  47. Jill Stanek brought the born-alive infant abuse to light.&lt;/div&gt;
  48. &lt;/div&gt;
  49. The bill was introduced after pro-life nurse Jill Stanek &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/archive/ldn/2008/aug/08081209&quot;&gt;witnessed babies being born alive after failed abortions&lt;/a&gt;, then being brought to a room in the hospital where she worked and left to die. The legislation, which ultimately passed, mandated that doctors must provide care to babies born alive after failed abortions.&lt;br /&gt;
  50. However, one of the most ardent opponents of the bill, who &lt;em&gt;repeatedly&lt;/em&gt; voted against it, was now-President Barack Obama. In audio &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/audio-obama-says-fetus-or-child-was-just-not-coming-out-limp-and-dead_650611.html&quot;&gt;dug up this week&lt;/a&gt; by John McCormack of &lt;em&gt;The Weekly Standard&lt;/em&gt;, then-Senator Obama is heard attempting to explain his opposition to the bill.&lt;br /&gt;
  51. While his explanations are extremely convoluted and difficult to quote, the thrust of Obama’s argument is that he trusts that abortionists who make “an error” that results in a baby being born alive will take care of the baby.&lt;br /&gt;
  52. Obama says that if you argue that an abortionist wouldn’t try “to exercise the sort of medical measures and practices that would be involved in saving that child” of his own accord, then “maybe this bill makes sense” (notice the “&lt;em&gt;maybe&lt;/em&gt;”!). But he adds, “I, at least, have confidence that a doctor who is in that room is going to make sure that they’re looked after.” &lt;br /&gt;
  53. Of course, the obvious response to Obama’s paper-thin objection is to point to the clear evidence that, in fact, abortionists were not providing such care. Babies were being killed - not quickly or mercifully, but by being left exposed, without food or water, to die. And, after all, what motivation would an abortionist, who was moments ago seeking to kill the baby, have to save the life of the same baby, especially when doing so would only expose the fact that he screwed up?&lt;br /&gt;
  54. But in one turn of phrase that is extremely revealing Obama attempts to describe the purpose of the bill, and says that the “fetus, or child – however way you want to describe it – is now outside the womb.” &lt;br /&gt;
  55. One of the great doctrines of the pro-abortion movement, of course, is that as long as the baby is in the mother’s womb, it is a “ fetus,” but then at the moment of birth, it magically transforms into a “baby.” Except, perhaps (as Obama’s indifference to terminology illustrates) if that baby was supposed to be dead, and was only born by “mistake” – in which case, it’s much more convenient to continue labeling it with the dehumanizing term “fetus.” &lt;br /&gt;
  56. Whether or not you take Obama’s slip of the tongue as evidence of his support for infanticide, what is certain is that Obama, his campaign, and the media have deliberately hushed up his record on the Born Alive bill. &lt;br /&gt;
  57. Since making his presidential run Obama has claimed that he “would have” voted for BAIPA if it had included a clause found in a federal version of the bill that stated the bill would have no effect on legal abortion. The only problem: Obama &lt;em&gt;was&lt;/em&gt; presented with a state version that &lt;em&gt;did&lt;/em&gt; have that clause, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/archive/ldn/2008/aug/08081101&quot;&gt;he &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; voted against it&lt;/a&gt;. In fact, Obama presided as the chair at a committee meeting where the clause was inserted into the bill. Almost immediately after it was inserted, he voted to kill the bill. &lt;br /&gt;
  58. Obama did this at a time when even NARAL - one of the most extreme pro-abortion organizations in the country - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/archive/ldn/2008/aug/08081101&quot;&gt;had withdrawn its opposition&lt;/a&gt; to the federal version of the bill.&lt;br /&gt;
  59. Even if you argue that Obama didn’t explicitly &lt;em&gt;support infanticide&lt;/em&gt;, the fact is that he was so concerned about protecting abortion that he would turn a blind eye to infanticide in an effort to make sure that doctors could kill unborn babies up until the last minute possible.&lt;br /&gt;
  60. If that’s not extreme, what is?&lt;br /&gt;
  61. &lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/YUkbuhXzbvI&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;Here is a transcript of Obama’s remarks on BAIPA:&lt;br /&gt;
  62. OBAMA: I just want to be clear because I think this was the source of the objections of the Medical Society. As I understand it, this puts the burden on the attending physician who has determined, since they were performing this procedure, that, in fact, this is a nonviable fetus; that if that fetus, or child – however way you want to describe it – is now outside the mother’s womb and the doctor continues to think that its nonviable but there’s, lets say, movement or some indication that, in fact, they’re not just out limp and dead, they would then have to call a second physician to monitor and check off and make sure that this is not a live child that could be saved. Is that correct?&lt;br /&gt;
  63. OBAMA: Let me just go to the bill, very quickly. Essentially, I think, as — as this emerged during debate and during committee, the only plausible rationale, to my mind, for this legislation would be if you had a suspicion that a doctor, the attending physician, who has made an assessment that this is a nonviable fetus and that, lets say for the purposes of the mother’s health, is being — that — that labor is being induced, that that physician (a) is going to make the wrong assessment and (b) if the physician discovered, after the labor had been induced, that, in fact, he made an error, or she made an error, and, in fact, that that physician, of his own accord or her own accord, would not try to exercise the sort of medical measures and practices that would be involved in saving that child. Now, if — if you think that there are possibilities that doctors would not do that, then maybe this bill makes sense, but I — I suspect and my impression is, is that the Medical Society suspects as well that doctors feel that they would be under that obligation, that they would already be making these determinations and that, essentially, adding a — an additional doctor who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed simply to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion. Now, if that’s the case – and –and I know that some of us feel very strongly one way or another on that issue – that’s fine, but I think it’s important to understand that this issue ultimately is about abortion and not live births. Because if these children are being born alive, I, at least, have confidence that a doctor who is in that room is going to make sure that they’re looked after. Thank you, Mr. President.”&lt;/div&gt;

I believe in informed consent, i am still pro life, but i am grasping at a straw to at least save some babies here...Information to the mother. Heartbeat law. That said, why is it not mandatory that mr president, take a tour of a few aborturaries?  Just why not? If it is not a person, then why would he feel anything, be worried about being sad or angry or disgusted? Would it not bother him to know that the magority of abortions are down on black females? Would watching a baby die, alone, cold on a morgue stretcher or in a bucket, in america, the land of the free and great? &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Posted by yahoo-KEKFA4DU6GQQKIFB66MRGNWQPM on 2012-08-25 09:27:02&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Earlier this week I was blessed with my second grand daughter!  Every couple of hours she starts to squeal &amp;amp; then howl with hunger.  Mom (&amp;amp; Grandma), cannot get there fast enough!&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt; p&amp;gt;I cannot imagine for one instant, someone deliberately trying to hurt one of these little angels &amp;amp; then leaving them on a shelf to die of cold &amp;amp; hunger if the &quot;procedure&quot; fails.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt; p&amp;gt;God have mercy on all of us.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Posted by Christine Maentz on 2012-08-25 09:18:12&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt; /div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Surprise!

  246. I truly don&#39;t know how any human being can expect to be taken seriously as a caring person when they allow a small, squirming, wiggling ALIVE baby die.  Heaven help those who perform the dirty deed in the beginning, and those who continue the horror if that tiny life manages to escape the brutal end that was planned, and struggles to live.  This is all to scary for me.&lt;/div&gt;

  309. This would indicate he would have no problem legalizing infanticide, even advocating for it. The man is a sociopath - has no compassion for other people. He was also a weed smoker, which probably caused this mental condition.&lt;/div&gt;

  375. Of course, Gosnell didn&#39;t come to light until some years later, but Stanek had already shown that the practice *did* exist in Illinois.  Then-Sen. Obama&#39;s argument is thus equivalent to, &quot;My mind&#39;s made up--don&#39;t confuse me with the facts.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;

  406. Earlier this week I was blessed with my second grand daughter!  Every couple of hours she starts to squeal &amp;amp; then howl with hunger.  Mom (&amp;amp; Grandma), cannot get there fast enough!&lt;br /&gt;
  407. I cannot imagine for one instant, someone deliberately trying to hurt one of these little angels &amp;amp; then leaving them on a shelf to die of cold &amp;amp; hunger if the &quot;procedure&quot; fails.&lt;br /&gt;
  408. God have mercy on all of us.&lt;/div&gt;

  595. Thank you mr president. I believe in informed consent, i am still pro life, but i am grasping at a straw to at least save some babies here...Information to the mother. Heartbeat law. That said, why is it not mandatory that mr president, take a tour of a few aborturaries?  Just why not? If it is not a person, then why would he feel anything, be worried about being sad or angry or disgusted? Would it not bother him to know that the magority of abortions are down on black females? Would watching a baby die, alone, cold on a morgue stretcher or in a bucket, in america, the land of the free and great? &lt;/div&gt;

  626. Wolf Blitzer recently commented that some mischaracterize Pres. Obama&#39;s wording (see ad calling Romney a possible felon) but that he is very specific and precise because he was a law professor.could somone please send him the copy of the transcript noted in this article. Maybe even ask Blitzer to expalain what Obama precisely meant.&lt;/div&gt;

  789. ATLANTA, August 24, 2012, (&lt;a href=&quot;http://lifesitenews.com/&quot;&gt;LifeSiteNews.com&lt;/a&gt;) - Conservative activists frequently bemoan the liberal bias of the mainstream media, but &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;v=8k-KuYJraEg&quot;&gt;a heated encounter &lt;/a&gt;between CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz last night, has GOP supporters cheering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;v=8k-KuYJraEg&quot;&gt;the exchange&lt;/a&gt; Cooper repeatedly presses Schultz about a recent fundraising letter from the DNC that attempted to link Mitt Romney to Todd Akin’s much-decried remarks about abortion and rape. The CNN anchor charges Schultz with misquoting the &lt;em&gt;Los Angeles Times&lt;/em&gt;, misstating Romney’s position on abortion, and falsely claiming that the Romney campaign is responsible for drafting the Republican Party’s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-full-gop-pro-life-platform-opposes-abortion-and-euthanasia&quot;&gt;strongly pro-life platform&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
  790. Schultz, flustered by Cooper’s interrogation, appears unable to respond to his factual claims, and instead repeatedly attempts to shift the discussion, stating that “it doesn’t matter” what the wording of the fundraising e-mail was, and that the “bottom line” is Romney’s “extreme” views on abortion.&lt;br /&gt;
  791. However, Cooper doesn’t let up.&lt;br /&gt;

  793. “I don’t understand why in a fundraising appeal you would, it seems, maybe accidentally, but you completely misquote the &lt;em&gt;L.A. Times&lt;/em&gt; and you make it sound as if they’re saying something that they’re not saying, and you’re using that as evidence to back up your position,” the anchor says at one point.&lt;br /&gt;
  794. Wasserman-Schultz responds, “Anderson, it doesn’t matter.”&lt;br /&gt;
  795. “It does,” shoots back Cooper. “It would matter if you’re misquoting the &lt;em&gt;L.A. Times&lt;/em&gt; as saying something they didn’t say. You’re saying it’s proof of your position and it’s actually not proof of your position.”&lt;br /&gt;
  796. In its article the &lt;em&gt;Times&lt;/em&gt; reported, “Delegates for presumptive nominee Mitt Romney are voting down substantive changes to the platform language that was written at the direction of Romney’s campaign.”&lt;br /&gt;
  797. Cooper said that Schultz’s fundraising e-mail had “ripped” this quote out of context to claim, “The &lt;em&gt;Los Angeles Times&lt;/em&gt; reported yesterday that the platform was, and I quote, written at the direction of Romney’s campaign.”&lt;br /&gt;
  798. Cooper also points out that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/romney-campaign-a-romney-ryan-administration-would-not-oppose-abortion-in-i&quot;&gt;Romney has often stated that he supports abortion in cases of rape&lt;/a&gt;, whereas Schultz has argued that he opposes all abortions. When asked if she knew that Romney has expressed his support for the exception, Schultz responds, “I can certainly acknowledge that he says that out loud,” but adds, “I think it’s very clear that Mitt Romney talks the talk, but doesn’t walk the walk.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cooper concludes the debate saying, “My only point is that – and again it’s my job on both sides of the aisle to point out things that are inaccurate – in a fundraising e-mail to misquote something to serve your argument just doesn’t seem in the long term to serve your argument very well.” &lt;br /&gt;
  799. “I understand your point,” responds Schultz, “but the balance of the e-mail makes the case very clearly, and the main thrust of the information we’re trying to convey  is that Mitt Romney is disingenuous when it comes to a woman’s right to make her own reproductive choices, and he’s extreme.” &lt;br /&gt;

  838. CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, August 22, 2012 (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lifesitenews.com/&quot;&gt;LifeSiteNews.com&lt;/a&gt;) - Feminists are denouncing a rule at the upcoming Democratic National Convention that will bar children, including breastfeeding babies, from entering the event without being credentialed.&lt;br /&gt;
  839. Critics say that officials for the event slated to begin Sept. 4 in Charlotte make it difficult for moms to credential their children, leaving delegate moms at a loss as to how to provide for their tots.&lt;br /&gt;
  840. Top feminist icon Gloria Steinem said that by not even offering child care at the event the Democratic Party will alienate female voters, and that the party should acknowledge that, where there are women, there are occasionally babies too.&lt;br /&gt;
  841. &lt;div class=&quot;photo-left  clear&quot; id=&quot;image_wrapper4&quot; style=&quot;width: 200px;&quot;&gt;
  842. &lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;article-img&quot; height=&quot;253&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lifesitenews.com/images/sized/images/news/Gloria_Steinem-200x253.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;article-img-caption&quot;&gt;
  843. Gloria Steinem suggested that the Democratic Party could recognize that where there are women, there are often children.&lt;/div&gt;
  844. &lt;/div&gt;
  845. “Women are the key to a Democratic victory, and sometimes, children are the key to women,” said Steinem in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2012/08/20/3467575/womens-group-slams-dnc-for-not.html#storylink=cpy&quot;&gt;a statement&lt;/a&gt; noted by the Charlotte Observer. “It’s both right and smart for the Democratic Convention to behave as if children exist.” &lt;br /&gt;
  846. &lt;br /&gt;
  847. Activists with the National Organization for Women in California also said the rules set up an “insurmountable barrier for mothers.”&lt;br /&gt;
  848. “The DNC requires children and babies to have a credential to enter the convention, and then denies these credential requests from moms,” said Hollywood NOW President Lindsey Horvath. “The DNC credentialing process is being used as a tool to prevent mothers from participating at the convention and is nothing short of discriminatory.”&lt;br /&gt;
  849. Convention spokeswoman Joanne Peters said that delegates can access a directory of private child care options, and that lactation centers for nursing mothers will be available - but that children require credentialing to access the convention floor. &lt;br /&gt;
  850. California Democrat Susie Shannon, 45, who planned to come to the convention with her 4-year-old daughter Gracie, called Peters’ response “not enough.”&lt;br /&gt;
  851. “When the Democratic Party refuses to provide child care at the convention and denies automatic access for young children to join their moms who serve as delegates on the convention floor, an entire group of women are disenfranchised,” said Shannon. “Moms with young children 6 years of age and under who cannot be left at home, some of whom are breast-feeding, are relegated to second-class status within the Democratic convention.”&lt;/div&gt;

  872. &lt;/div&gt;
  873. &lt;/li&gt;
  874. &lt;/ul&gt;
  875. &lt;/div&gt;
  876. &lt;div class=&quot;article-text KonaBody&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;

  878. &lt;span class=&quot;dateline&quot;&gt;CHARLOTTE, N.C. – &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;In less than 100 days, Democrats will gather in Charlotte, N.C., for their presidential nominating convention.&lt;/div&gt;
  879. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  880. The city was a natural choice after President Obama in 2008 turned a reliably red state to blue for the first time since Jimmy Carter won it in 1976.&lt;/div&gt;
  881. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  882. But how things can change in four years.&lt;/div&gt;
  883. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  884. Since the president squeaked out victory in the Tar Heel state, Republicans took control of the legislature for the first time in 100 years; Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue declined to seek re-election; unemployment moved to fifth-worst in the country; and voters passed an amendment to ban same-sex marriage just days before Obama announced his support for gay marriage.&lt;/div&gt;
  885. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  886. All of this has many people asking – why was it that the Democrats picked Charlotte?&lt;/div&gt;
  887. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  888. “It seemed like a good idea at the time,” said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics.&amp;nbsp;“It sent the right message for Democrats that they were going to fight.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  889. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  890. “As it has happened, with lots of different events including the gay marriage referendum and the fact that some polls have Romney leading in North Carolina, maybe it wasn’t the best place to have the convention.”&lt;/div&gt;
  891. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  892. Scott Stone, a Republican who ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Charlotte in 2011, &amp;nbsp;agrees.&lt;/div&gt;
  893. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  894. “If the (Democratic National Committee) chose Charlotte because they want a great venue with great folks and have a good time, they picked absolutely the right place,” he told Fox News. “If they picked it because they think Charlotte is going to help them win North Carolina, they’re absolutely wrong because North Carolina will not go Democratic in 2012.”&lt;/div&gt;
  895. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  896. It wouldn’t take much to swing North Carolina back to the red column.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  897. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  898. Obama won there by just 14,000 votes, out of 4.2 million cast.&lt;/div&gt;
  899. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  900. Statewide polls have the race neck-and-neck, though a recent Rasmussen poll puts Romney ahead 51 percent to 43 percent. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  901. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  902. Of all the issues concerning North Carolina voters, same-sex marriage is perhaps the one that most shows the divide between the president and the direction of the state.&lt;/div&gt;
  903. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  904. A surprising number of black voters came out in support of the ban, revealing a split in the president’s most reliable demographic.&lt;/div&gt;
  905. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  906. Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx hopes voters are thinking about other things by November.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  907. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  908. The same-sex amendment is “one issue of a thousand that people have to think about and parse through in this election,” he told Fox News.&amp;nbsp;“I think, frankly, by the time the election comes around, the thing that’s going to be on most people’s minds is who is going to create more jobs.”&lt;/div&gt;
  909. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  910. When the amendment passed, supporters of same-sex marriage appealed to the DNC to move the convention from Charlotte.&amp;nbsp;A petition drive on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.change.org/&quot; rel=&quot;external ext-linked&quot; style=&quot;color: #183a52; cursor: pointer; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.change.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://global.fncstatic.com/static/all/img/external-link.png&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; max-width: 480px;&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;has drawn more than 32,000 signatures. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  911. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  912. The DNC insists Charlotte is the perfect place for the Sept. 3-6 convention -- a way for the president to keep his toehold in the South and a possible route to victory in November.&lt;/div&gt;
  913. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  914. “We can’t just retreat to safe territory,” said DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse. &amp;nbsp;“We can’t go back to a map where we’re not growing the electorate, but where we’re shrinking it. &amp;nbsp;So we have to be in places like North Carolina.”&lt;/div&gt;
  915. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  916. The DNC hopes to use the convention as a focal point for a drive to register new voters and get them out to the polls in November.&lt;/div&gt;
  917. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  918. &quot;Without a big margin in the Charlotte area, Obama has no chance to carry North Carolina,” Sabato said. &quot;So it is important that he use the convention as a staging ground to improve his standing which is clearly deteriorated since 2008.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;

  920. Getting out the vote will be crucial for the president. But unions, one of his biggest machines, also are not pleased with the convention site.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  922. North Carolina is a right-to-work state.&amp;nbsp;And unions are so upset about the location that they have withheld their important financial contribution to the convention.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  923. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  924. The DNC is trying to appease them by bringing union labor in from out of state to work the event. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  926. The Democrats’ big bash will also offer some intriguing and possibly uncomfortable contrasts.&lt;/div&gt;

  928. When the president accepts his party’s nomination, he will do it in a stadium bearing the name Bank Of America, which is headquartered in the city.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  930. The bank received tens of billions of dollars in federal bailout funds, much of which was used to pay executive bonuses.&lt;/div&gt;
  931. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  932. &amp;nbsp;And the president’s relentless attack on the financial industry may not play well in a town that has reinvented itself around banking. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  933. &lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  934. “He can’t keep demagoging the banks because in North Carolina, you cannot compare Wall Street against Main Street, because the banks – in Charlotte – they are our main street,” Stone said.&lt;/div&gt;

  950. &lt;br /&gt;
  951. A brief history:&lt;br /&gt;
  952. &lt;br /&gt;
  953. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;An organized group of highly concerned and influential Charlotte voters who follow the ongoing disturbing patterns of purported judicial misconduct in the Charlotte Family Court System are worried and outraged at the number of deaths that are linked to contentious litigation and perceived chronic judicial negligence. The problem is so bad that multiple concerned voters (AKA &quot;Disgruntled Litigants&quot; a term coined by The Charlotte Observer), have documented the disturbing patterns with blog articles and even mockumentary-style videos depicting incriminating behaviors of who is believed to be two District Court Judges, Lisa Bell and Rebecca (Becky) Tin. Incidences of corruption and attorney favortism are the key complaints in the tounge-in-cheek videos seen here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DENMPdtgY7M&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; style=&quot;color: #28a8e1; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DENMPdtgY7M&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;and here:&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp5zPBWsy0Y&amp;amp;feature=related&quot; style=&quot;color: #28a8e1; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp5zPBWsy0Y&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  954. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  955. &lt;br /&gt;
  956. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;Also of great concern is the lack of media attention surrounding these suspicious deaths, and the recent mishandling of an incident occurring at an AME Zion Church political meet and greet. The deaths of Sonia Long&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://oncrime.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&amp;amp;action=print&amp;amp;thread=13&quot; style=&quot;color: #28a8e1; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;http://oncrime.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&amp;amp;action=print&amp;amp;thread=13&lt;/a&gt;, Adam Bennett, Christa Chidester and Sarah Higgins&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wsoctv.com/news/15017367/detail.htmlare&quot; style=&quot;color: #28a8e1; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;http://www.wsoctv.com/news/15017367/detail.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are all connected to the Charlotte Family Court system and involve cases where ruling judges are repeatedly perceived and alleged to have failed to heed the concerns of &quot;disgruntled&quot; litigants while the courts repeately and negligently failed to protect them and their children either in an already existing dangerous situation, or, creating and fueling an entirely new one by enabling, accommodating and encouraging malicious prosecution in the courtroom with prefferred lawyers, who are campaign funders, and failing to recuse themselves in a direct conflict of interest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  957. &lt;br /&gt;
  958. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;Christa Chidester&#39;s case is most disturbing because The Charlotte Observer has deep-sixed all coverage. They broke the story, but have seemingly removed it from the archives. JMD attorney Jonathan Feit was attorney of record for Marke Chidester who opposed Christa Chidester and her daughter Sarah Higgins. Questions remain as to how petite and devoted mother could go through with a murder suicide, and manage to physically overcome a 9 year old. Suspicions have risen in regard to the true nature of Chidester&#39;s and Higgin&#39;s death, due to the lack of coverage and possible cover-up of media, namely The Charlotte Observer who broke the story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  959. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;The original news piece is not in the archives, a strange anomaly in such a high profile case.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  960. &lt;br /&gt;
  961. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;The Charlotte Observer reported that family court Judge Lisa Bell exited the meeting after a clash over a highly controversial court ruling she upheld, which is purported to have directly or indirectly influenced the health and safety of a disgruntled litigant&#39;s child, who is now dead due to an improperly treated medical illness. Observer readers commenting on the incident were shut down from blogging comments and important questions such as &quot;Who will die next?&quot; in reference to the disturbing number of deaths perceived by many to be directly associated with ongoing bad rulings in the Charlotte Family Court involving a select group of Judges including Lisa Bell, Becky Tin and lawyers from the James, McElroy and Diehl or JMD law firm, long-time political contributors to both judges.&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.judgelisabell.com/Judge_Lisa_Bell/Supporters.html&quot; style=&quot;color: #28a8e1; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;http://www.judgelisabell.com/Judge_Lisa_Bell/Supporters.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  962. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;Another landmark case involving Jonathan Feit and Judge Tin is the case of Lisa Pennington, who lost all parental and maternal rights with custody of her two young boys. Lisa is a highly regarded PhD Child Psychologist who works with leading hospitals, and consults on many court cases, but her own rights were terminated because she believed her sons when they told her they were being abused. A gag order was issued by Judge Tin, and Lisa fought it. Her rights were revoked completely and she has absolutely no contact with her children.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rightsformothers.com/2010/08/16/north-carolina-family-courts-you-will-never-find-a-more-wretched-hive-of-scum-and-villainy/&quot; style=&quot;color: #28a8e1; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;http://rightsformothers.com/2010/08/16/north-carolina-family-courts-you-will-never-find-a-more-wretched-hive-of-scum-and-villainy/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  963. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;The highly disturbing case of Angelique Landry also involves Jonathan Feit of JMD.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  964. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;Disgruntled readers are suspicious of the ongoing censorship practiced by The Charlotte Observer regarding coverage of issues relating the Charlotte District Court.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  965. &lt;br /&gt;
  966. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;JMD partner William K. Deihl is known to have participated in brokering a covert deal with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Sherriff&#39;s Department and the Mecklenburg County Bar Association for supplying and administering special courthouse access cards, allowing cardholders to enter the court house through restricted judiciary hallways closed to the public and to attorneys. This new access puts card-carrying attorneys in hallways with robed judges while court is in session proving ample opportunity for forbidden ex-parte communication. No coverage by the Charlotte Observer is available on this topic. See&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.meckbar.org/newsevents/news_detail.cfm?cont_id=6806&quot; style=&quot;color: #28a8e1; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Link: http://www.meckbar.org/newsevents/news_detail.cfm?cont_id=6806&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  967. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;The Mecklenburg County Bar Courthouse Liasion Committee published the following:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  968. &lt;br /&gt;
  969. &lt;b&gt;During the construction of the new Mecklenburg County Courthouse, a committee was formed to determine the issue of lawyer access toprivate corridors behind the courtrooms in the newfacility.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;This Court Security Committee wascomposed of Senior Resident Superior Court JudgeRobert Johnston, Chief District Court Judge FritzMercer, District Attorney Peter Gilchrist, TrialCourt Administrator Todd Nuccio, Clerk of CourtMartha Curran, County Commissioner ChairJennifer Roberts, and Sheriff Jim Pendergraph.Initially, it decided that Mecklenburg Countylawyers&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc0000;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;should not be given special access&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;into or within the new courthouse.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;In effect, lawyers were not to have any greater or easier access in the courthouse than the general public. Luckily, this decision was just a preliminary one, to remain inplace only during the first four months of the new courthouse operation. Nevertheless, concern arose among the lawyers that this initial “no” could become the policy long term and that lawyers would never be treated any differently than the general public. This presented a number of problems; for alot of lawyers, the courthouse is where the majority of their work is done.In response to that concern, the MecklenburgCounty Bar (MCB) formed the Courthouse Access Committee.&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Our job was to convince the Court Security Committee that Mecklenburg County lawyers were entitled to special access into and within the courthouse and that lawyers could be given that special access while the courthouse still maintained appropriate security and operated without unnecessary interruptions.Our Committee did its job and did it well. As a result, Mecklenburg County lawyers were granted special access into and within the new courthouse.Over 900 access cards have been applied for or already issued.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Now, our attorneys have access to the new courthouse through the shorter employees’ security line and have cards that provide us withelectronic access to the hallways and offices behind most of the courtrooms.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Contact with judges, sheriffs, and court officials is much easier now.&lt;/span&gt;Our jobs and work within the courthouse can be more efficient.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Special thanks go to Nelson Casstevens, Bill Diehl, Ron Gibson, Ed Hinson, Mitchell Kelling,Tony Lathrop, Ray Owens, Eben Rawls, Tony Scheer, and John Wester of our Bar’s Courthouse Access Subcommittee (now a subcommittee of the Courthouse Liaison Committee). Special thanks also goes to the Court Security Committee for its time and thoughtful deliberations.&lt;/span&gt;We are fortunate to have these access cards. Remember that having these cards is a privilege, not a right. Honor the access card, use it properly, and, at all times, be civil and courteous in our court house facility.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  970. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  971. &lt;br /&gt;
  972. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;While under the care of his mother Sherry Bennett, Adam was under strict medical supervision by world class medical specialists at Duke University, who were treating him for what was believed to be Multiple Sclerosis, which is rare in young persons. According to Bennett family sources, JMD attorney Jonathan Feit who represented Duane Bennet-Adam&#39;s father, in a highly contested divorce and custody case, and who was also investigated for bribing a political official documented in Creative Loafing article &quot;Sex, Lies and Technicalities&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;link:http://charlotte.creativeloafing.com/gyrobase/sex_bribes_and_technicalities/Content?oid=29581%20&quot; style=&quot;color: #28a8e1; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Link:http://charlotte.creativeloafing.com/gyrobase/sex_bribes_and_technicalities/Content?oid=29581&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;by Tara Servatius, had successfully de-bunked Duke University Medical Doctor&#39;s diagnosis and treatment protocols, and had them replaced with his client&#39;s dubious &quot;kitchen&quot; protocol seen here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mscures.com/&quot; style=&quot;color: #28a8e1; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;http://www.mscures.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  973. &lt;br /&gt;
  974. &lt;br /&gt;
  975. Neither Mr. Feit nor Mr. Bennett are medical doctors, yet it seems that Judge Lisa Bell, who is not a medical doctor either chose to override Duke University doctor&#39;s orders by handing Adam over to his father&#39;s kitchen protocol care and removing parenting rights from disgruntled litigant Mrs. Bennett, and forbade treatment from Duke University, or somehow gravely undermined and compromised Adam&#39;s safety by her ruling. Now, Adam Bennet is dead. He was twenty years old.&lt;br /&gt;
  976. &lt;br /&gt;
  977. Mrs. Bennett, clearly grieving and disgruntled by the tragic and unnecessary loss of her precious son is seeking closure. A meet and greet in an open political forum provides an excellent opportunity to ask serious and important questions to incumbent candidates who are asking for the public&#39;s trust and tax dollars.&lt;br /&gt;
  978. &lt;br /&gt;
  979. In a repeat reaction, reminiscent of another forum where Lisa Bell temperamentally indicated distress because another disgruntled litigant named Danita Mitchell was &quot;staring at her&quot; during testimony at Judicial Standards Committee hearing in Raleigh, where she &quot;felt threatened&quot; by then colleague and former Judge Bill Belk during what is affectionately known as &quot;THALHEIMERGATE&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://domesticjustice.blogspot.com/2009/10/continuing-legal-educational-saga-for.html&quot; style=&quot;color: #28a8e1; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;http://domesticjustice.blogspot.com/2009/10/continuing-legal-educational-saga-for.html&lt;/a&gt;, whom she reported and had removed by the Judicial Standards Committee for raising his voice in disagreement with her, and for failing to resign from the Board of Sonic Automotive. Lisa likes drama, it seems.&lt;br /&gt;
  980. &lt;br /&gt;
  981. During that case Judge Bell ordered the bailiff to remove Belk supporter, Ms. Mitchell from the courtroom, and the bailiff denied her request citing that Ms. Mitchell had done nothing wrong because staring was enforceable. In fact, many people in the room were staring at her due to the strange waste of taxpayer money the frivolous hearings were costing them. Days later, Ms. Mitchell was arrested and held in prison for 90 days, without bond, and without charges.&lt;br /&gt;

  984. &lt;br /&gt;
  985. Judge Bell is commonly regarded for her confidence, assertiveness and tenatious committment to her own convinctions, no matter how ill-informed or misguided. She is also well known for being spoiled, demanding, skittish and teary at times as documented in the comedic videos circulating the web. Perhaps she has sufferred trauma in her life, and has a certain hyper-sensitivity. No one knows for sure. Voters claim to have repeatedly witnessed an unwillingness for her to address the sincere concern of her constituency, particularly in grave circumstances such as Ms. Bennett&#39;s tragic loss of her son.&lt;br /&gt;
  986. It would have been the decent thing to do for Judge Bell to graciously take questions from Mrs. Bennett and offer a private audience with her regarding the ruling and its resulting tragedy.&lt;br /&gt;
  987. &lt;br /&gt;
  988. Charlotte voters are worried. They are counting the deaths in family court, now numbered at 4 since 2008.&lt;br /&gt;

  1030. &lt;/div&gt;
  1031. &lt;/div&gt;
  1032. &lt;div id=&quot;articlebody&quot;&gt;
  1033. Mecklenburg Chief District Court Judge Lisa Bell left a political candidates&#39; forum under police protection after a heated confrontation Thursday night with a woman who said she was upset about a family court ruling Bell made years ago.&lt;br /&gt;
  1034. The confrontation happened about 6:30 p.m. at a reception before the NAACP-sponsored forum at Little Rock AME Zion Church uptown - and Bell&#39;s departure drew criticism from her opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
  1035. As 50 or so people mingled with the candidates for judgeships and district attorney, Sharon Bennett walked up to Bell waving a photo of her son, Adam, who died last year in China at age 20.&lt;br /&gt;
  1036. Bennett says she simply asked the judge questions about a ruling she&#39;d made in a case involving Bennett&#39;s family. Bell says Bennett accused her of killing Adam.&lt;br /&gt;
  1037. After the two had words, Bell walked away and asked NAACP officials to remove Bennett from the event.&lt;br /&gt;
  1038. &quot;I&#39;m not going to come to events and continue to be attacked,&quot; Bell told organizers in a hallway at the church. &quot;I want security, and I want it now.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  1039. Bell walked out to the parking lot and waited outside while organizers escorted Bennett to a meeting room. Within minutes, two Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
  1040. One of Bell&#39;s campaign staffers told the officers that the judge wasn&#39;t physically attacked, but that a verbal confrontation had escalated to a point where Bell felt threatened.&lt;br /&gt;
  1041. Organizers asked Bell to stay. They told her they could make sure Bennett remained quiet during the forum, but that they wouldn&#39;t bar any member of the public from the event.&lt;br /&gt;
  1042. &quot;This is supposed to be a forum to learn about candidates, and it has turned into a circus,&quot; Bell told them, standing among a half-dozen people. &quot;I&#39;m not staying. I&#39;ve just been accused of killing a child.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  1043. She asked the two officers to walk her to her car.&lt;br /&gt;
  1044. &quot;I am shaking right now,&quot; Bell said.&lt;br /&gt;
  1045. The officers suggested she take a few minutes to calm down before driving, and Bell stood outside with campaign staff and reporters.&lt;br /&gt;
  1046. Bell&#39;s opponent, Charlotte lawyer Twyla Hollingsworth, questioned Bell&#39;s resolve after the judge left the forum.&lt;br /&gt;
  1047. &quot;I think Mecklenburg County needs a judge who&#39;s strong, who&#39;s not gonna cry or storm out when someone asks a question,&quot; Hollingsworth said.&lt;br /&gt;
  1048. It was the second time in a week Bell has been accosted by angry litigants at a political forum, according to Bell and people who attended Saturday&#39;s Black Political Caucus meeting.&lt;br /&gt;
  1049. Bennett is one of a number of litigants who have accused family court judges of bias in certain bitter custody disputes. They have accused Bell and other judges of inappropriate connections with some lawyers.&lt;br /&gt;
  1050. Bell and Judge Becky Tin, another judge under fire, have vehemently denied any bias or wrongdoing.&lt;br /&gt;
  1051. Last month, the Observer detailed ongoing controversies in family court, including litigants&#39; efforts to fight back against judges.&lt;br /&gt;
  1052. Judge Bell has come under fire partly because of her contentious relationship with former District Judge Bill Belk. He resigned last year and was banned from the bench in April after the N.C. Supreme Court ruled he&#39;d violated the judicial code by serving on a paid board of directors while he was a judge.&lt;br /&gt;
  1053. An ethics investigation found that Belk had an angry confrontation with Bell. He called her a &quot;political hack,&quot; the investigation found, and claimed that her appointment as chief had been &quot;bought and paid for&quot; so she could &quot;screw him over.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  1054. Also attending Thursday&#39;s forum were other litigants - including Lisa Pennington and Natalie Bingham - who have widely criticized local judges for their domestic rulings.&lt;br /&gt;
  1055. Some litigants have sought to recruit candidates to run against judges they dislike.&lt;br /&gt;
  1056. In February, just two days before Mecklenburg&#39;s filing deadline, Pennington&#39;s sister, Rhonda Patt, sent a text message to Hollingsworth asking her to run.&lt;br /&gt;
  1057. &quot;We r looking for candidates to run for district court judge against becy tin and lisa bell...,&quot; the messages said. &quot;We have ... a bank account full of donations but need a candidate by tomorrow. Would u have any interest in running?&quot; On the last day of filing, Hollingsworth signed up to run in November against Judge Bell.&lt;br /&gt;
  1058. Hollingsworth, who attended Thursday&#39;s forum, won&#39;t discuss the text message but her campaign has said it had nothing to do with her candidacy.&lt;br /&gt;
  1059. Patt acknowledges she sent a text to Hollingsworth but couldn&#39;t recall the details. If she wrote about a bank account full of donations, she said, she only meant that many people were willing to donate.&lt;br /&gt;
  1060. On Thursday, Hollingsworth said she&#39;s running because of injustices in the court system and a tendency of some judges to rule based on factors outside the evidence or the law. She chose Bell to run against because she&#39;s the chief judge and change is most likely if Bell is unseated.&lt;br /&gt;
  1061. She said she&#39;s heard the rumors that she&#39;s running as a revenge candidate and may be connected to Belk.&lt;br /&gt;
  1062. &quot;I know there&#39;s talk of me being a &#39;warm body,&#39;&quot; Hollingsworth said. &quot;I don&#39;t know Bill Belk, I&#39;ve never met him. If the man walked into a room, I wouldn&#39;t know who he is.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;

  1104. After meeting Rick Santorum a few days before Oklahoma&#39;s Super Tuesday primary, Tulsa resident David Harris had an idea: his musically inclined family should compose a campaign song for the candidate.&lt;/div&gt;
  1105. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1106. By Monday morning, the Harris family band—known as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://firstloveband.com/FirstLove/Welcome.html&quot; style=&quot;color: #005790; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;First Love&lt;/a&gt;—had&amp;nbsp;written and recorded &quot;Game On,&quot; an infectious, catchy two-and-a-half minute tribute to Santorum with lead vocals from Camille, 20, and Haley, 18.&amp;nbsp;The Harris family shot a music video outside their church and debuted the song on YouTube.&lt;/div&gt;
  1107. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;

  1110. The Harris parents are both pastors at the Jubilee Christian Center. They have eight children between the ages of 5 and 22, who have been homeschooled and enrolled at a religious academy. Like Rick Santorum, their political convictions are deeply influenced by their Christian faith.&lt;/div&gt;
  1111. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1112. Camille composed the beginning of the refrain (&quot;we&#39;ve finally got a man/who will stand for wrong and right&quot;) in the car after meeting Santorum, and the family pieced together the rest of the lyrics from campaign talking points. The result includes such lines as &quot;there will be justice for the unborn / factories back on our shores.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
  1113. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1114. The video now has 73,000 views, with the promise of many more as news organizations flock to the family. David Harris, speaking Thursday morning on the way home from a family appearance on the local Fox affiliate&#39;s morning show, told Yahoo News the Santorum campaign has contacted them about the possibility of performing live at future campaign events.&lt;/div&gt;
  1115. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1116. &quot;We&#39;re waiting to hear from them,&quot; he said, noting the family already has a tour bus.&lt;/div&gt;

  1118. YouTube is only seven years old, but stars like the Harris family already seem like a throwback to the last campaign cycle. Five years ago, when the 2008 primaries were getting underway, many observers foresaw a &quot;Web 2.0&quot; election in which user-generated content drove powerful online organizing efforts. That election cycle produced such grassroots stars as Amber Lee Ettinger, better known as &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7pv7sO5Gng&quot; style=&quot;color: #005790; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Obama Girl&lt;/a&gt;,&quot; but they have largely been eclipsed by centralized social media efforts that are campaign-controlled.&lt;/div&gt;
  1119. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1120. The &quot;Santorum Girls&quot; video, however, has gone viral in the original meaning of the word: It started out small, with only 300-some views on Tuesday night (though YouTube lags somewhat in updating those figures). It had reached 7,000 by mid-day Wednesday, and 40,000 by Thursday morning—the sort of exponential growth that, if sustained, can project a video to astronomical numbers of views.&lt;/div&gt;
  1121. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1122. Like most newly minted Internet stars, both David and Camille expressed shock at the ruthless vitriol of the comments section. &quot;What exactly are they hating?&quot; David said of the video, which oozes with wholesomeness. While the band is fronted by Camille and Haley, most of the family appears in the video on one instrument or another, down to the youngest on the ukulele. &quot;She only knows three notes, so she plays them over and over,&quot; Camille explained.&lt;/div&gt;
  1123. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1124. While on the phone, Camille realized it was her brother Wesley&#39;s 15th&amp;nbsp;birthday.&lt;/div&gt;
  1125. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;

  1154. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;How To Live By The Power Of The Holy Spirit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
  1155. John 14:26:&lt;br /&gt;
  1156. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  1157. &lt;i&gt;But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1158. As Christians, we understand that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.new-testament-christian.com/salvation.html&quot;&gt;salvation&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is not a matter of earning God&#39;s favor by our own effort. Rather it is transferring our trust&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;from what we can do&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;to get ourselves to heaven&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;to what Jesus Christ has already done&lt;/i&gt;. Yet, the same Scripture that tells us that we are&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;saved&lt;b&gt;by good works&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;tells us that we&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;are&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;saved&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;to do good works&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Ephesians 2:8-10). To put it another way, the God who has&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;saved&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;us from the&lt;i&gt;penalty of sin&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;now intends to&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;change&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;us--to remove the sinful habits and selfish attitudes in our lives so that we can become more like His Son, Jesus Christ (Romans 8:28-29). To accomplish this goal,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;God has not left us alone&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;to live the Christian life in our own strength. Actually that would be impossible. But God&#39;s power can do the impossible--that is, enable us to live the Christian life. The following study is designed to help you understand&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;the work of God&#39;s Holy Spirit&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;(the&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;third&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;member of the Godhead) and&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;how you can cooperate&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;with His daily work in your life.&lt;br /&gt;
  1159. &lt;b&gt;What&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Holy Spirit&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Does&lt;br /&gt;
  1160. He&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;united&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;you to Christ at the moment of conversion; He caused you to believe (2 Thessalonians 2:13). He placed you into Christ&#39;s body (1 Corinthians 12:13), and He is the bond that makes you belong to Jesus (Romans 8:9).&lt;br /&gt;
  1161. He&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;assures&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;you that you belong to God. He teaches you to call God,&lt;b&gt;&quot;Father&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Romans 8:15-16). He is God&#39;s seal of ownership and your guarantee of complete salvation (Ephesians 1:13-14).&lt;br /&gt;
  1162. He is making you to be&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;more&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;like Jesus Christ. By progressively freeing you from sinful habits and transforming you into the likeness of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:17-18). By empowering you to replace ungodly habits with godly fruit such as love, patience, and self-control (Galatians 5:18-23).&lt;br /&gt;
  1163. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  1164. &lt;b&gt;You can do what pleases God because His Spirit gives you power&lt;/b&gt;. He is your&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;life and strength&lt;/b&gt;. That is why you&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;must not ignore Him&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;try to live&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;the Christian life&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;without depending on Him&lt;/b&gt;. His work will not cease until it is completed at Christ&#39;s second coming when our bodies will be transformed to be like Christ&#39;s body (Philippians 3:20-21).&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1165. Because the Holy Spirit&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;is at work&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;in you, you need to understand...&lt;br /&gt;
  1166. &lt;b&gt;How You&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Can&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Cooperate&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;With His Daily Work In Your Life&lt;br /&gt;
  1167. Cooperating with the Holy Spirit means&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;dependence&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;on Him and His divine resources. We must&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;keep in step&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25). Keeping in step with the Spirit sounds very mysterious. Actually it means that we submit to and rely on the Spirit. We look to Him for help--daily&lt;i&gt;trusting Him and praying to Him&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;for understanding and strength (Ephesians 1:17-18). We must&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;be filled&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;with (or controlled by) the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18); being filled by the Spirit has the idea of&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;control by&lt;/i&gt;(Note the contrast with drunkenness). It has the idea of being totally saturated with (Colossians 3:16).&lt;br /&gt;
  1168. To be filled with the Holy Spirit and to have Christ’s Word dwell in you mean the same thing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;God’s Spirit always works in and through His Word.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1169. Cooperating with the Holy Spirit means the&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;disciplined&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;use of His divine resources. Change occurs as you learn to&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;put&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;off the old ways of thinking and responding and&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;put&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;on God&#39;s new ways of thinking and responding. This begins by daily renewing your mind with the life-changing truth of&lt;b&gt;God&#39;s Word&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Ephesians 4:22-24;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;See verses 25-32 for some specific examples&lt;/i&gt;). As you learn to practice the truth, you gradually become more and more godly--like Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 4:7).&lt;br /&gt;
  1170. &lt;br /&gt;
  1171. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  1172. The word&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;”train”&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 1 Timothy 4:7 is an athletic term. It means: daily&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;sustained effort.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Just as it takes practice to be skilled in a particular sport, so it takes practice to be skilled in living the Christian life. God does&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;expect you to be&lt;b&gt;perfect&lt;/b&gt;; He expects you to be growing. Your part in growing is exerting&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;daily sustained effort&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;apply His Word&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;to your life.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1173. &lt;b&gt;Life Application&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1174. &lt;b&gt;Read&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ephesians 3:16-17. It is a model for how you should pray daily for yourself: Study God&#39;s Word. (See passages below). Depend on the Holy Spirit to help you obey, and begin to obey. This is what it means to be filled with the Spirit. His power will be displayed in your life as you trust Him and begin to obey His Word.&lt;br /&gt;
  1175. &lt;b&gt;Study&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ephesians 4:25-6:9. It is an extended discussion of how to put off old habits and replace them with godly habits in obedience to God&#39;s Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). Below are a list of put offs and put ons from this passage:&lt;br /&gt;

  1243. President Barack Obama on Wednesday dismissed oil as &quot;the fuel of the past&quot; as he made an unapologetic election-year pitch for his alternative energy industry policies and sniped at Republicans over painfully high gasoline prices.&lt;/div&gt;
  1244. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1245. &quot;They get out on the campaign trail—and you and I both know there are no quick fixes to this problem—but listening to them, you&#39;d think there were,&quot; he said at a Daimler Truck manufacturing plant in the battleground state of North Carolina.&lt;/div&gt;
  1246. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1247. Obama said that because the United States accounts for 20 percent of the world&#39;s consumption of oil but has only 2 percent of its petroleum reserves, &quot;we&#39;re not going to be able to just drill our way out of the problem of high gas prices. Anybody who tells you otherwise either doesn&#39;t know what they&#39;re talking about or they aren&#39;t telling you the truth.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
  1248. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1249. &quot;Here is the truth. If we are going to control our energy future, then we&#39;ve got to have an all-of-the-above strategy,&quot; he said in his speech. &quot;We&#39;ve got to develop every source of American energy—not just oil and gas, but wind power and solar power, nuclear power, biofuels.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
  1250. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1251. A top congressional Republican, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, hit Obama on his call to end subsidies for oil companies while directing government help to so-called green energy firms, some of which have political ties to the administration.&lt;/div&gt;
  1252. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1253. &lt;span id=&quot;more-31788&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&quot;When it comes to rising gas prices, the American people don&#39;t think it&#39;s particularly fair that at a time when they&#39;re struggling to fill up the tank, their own tax dollars are being used to subsidize failing solar companies of the president&#39;s choosing, not to mention the bonuses that executives at these companies keep getting,&quot; McConnell said.&lt;/div&gt;
  1254. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1255. And &quot;if higher gas prices hurt the economy, then why in the world is the administration calling for higher taxes on energy manufacturers?&quot; said the Kentucky lawmaker.&lt;/div&gt;
  1256. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1257. Obama, his hopes for a new term threatened by high gas prices, pushed Republicans in Congress to support ending oil subsidies.&lt;/div&gt;
  1258. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1259. &quot;We can place our bets on the fuel of the past, or we can place our bets on American know-how and American ingenuity and American workers like the ones here at Daimler. That&#39;s the choice we face.&amp;nbsp; That&#39;s what&#39;s at stake right now,&quot; said the president.&lt;/div&gt;
  1260. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;

  1309. WASHINGTON, March 7 (TheWrap.com) - If you&#39;ve ever had a pitch turned down by&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts cs4-visible&quot; id=&quot;lw_1331153646_0&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #366388; cursor: pointer;&quot;&gt;Harvey Weinstein&lt;/span&gt;, you&#39;re now in some fine company. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts cs4-visible&quot; id=&quot;lw_1331153646_2&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #366388; cursor: pointer;&quot;&gt;Weinstein Co.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;chief disclosed that&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts cs4-visible&quot; id=&quot;lw_1331153646_1&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #366388; cursor: pointer;&quot;&gt;President Obama&lt;/span&gt;recently sent him a film idea -- which he passed on.&lt;/div&gt;
  1310. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1311. &quot;The President sent me a book the other day and said &#39;Why don&#39;t you make this into a movie?&#39;&quot; Weinstein said. &quot;I can&#39;t tell you. It was a spy novel.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
  1312. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1313. But Weinstein demurred.&lt;/div&gt;
  1314. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1315. &quot;I sent him an email back saying he was the most over qualified book scout I&#39;ve ever had,&quot; he told the Times of London.&lt;/div&gt;
  1316. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1317. Weinstein is a deep-pocketed supporter of President Obama and the Democratic Party, and recently co-hosted fundraising events for the president in New York and Los Angeles.&lt;/div&gt;
  1318. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1319. The Weinstein Co. said it had no comment on the pitch.&lt;/div&gt;
  1320. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1321. As if getting a movie pitch from President Obama wasn&#39;t enough, Harvey Weinstein on Wednesday was made a member of the French Legion of Honor.&lt;/div&gt;
  1322. &lt;div id=&quot;yui_3_3_0_24_1331231214979203&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1323. In ceremony held in Paris,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts cs4-visible&quot; id=&quot;lw_1331153646_4&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #366388; cursor: pointer;&quot;&gt;French President Nicolas Sarkozy&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;honored the 59-year-old producer of &quot;The Artist&quot; for his contribution to cinema by making him a member of the French Legion of Honor.&lt;/div&gt;
  1324. &lt;div id=&quot;yui_3_3_0_24_1331231214979200&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1325. &quot;I am honored and humbled by this recognition from&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts cs4-visible&quot; id=&quot;lw_1331153646_3&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #366388; cursor: pointer;&quot;&gt;President Sarkozy&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and the people of France. All my life, I have loved and been inspired by French cinema, and as a studio head it has been my pride and joy to have the ability to bring movies to audiences around the world,&quot; Weinstein said in a statement before the ceremony.&lt;/div&gt;
  1326. &lt;div id=&quot;yui_3_3_0_6_1331231214979804&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1327. &quot;I am still the young boy who walked to the cinema in Flushing, New York to see films by the greats - Lelouch, Godard, Renoir and my personal favorite, François Truffaut. They inspired me and led me to the place I am in today. I hope to continue my friendship with France and its filmmakers for many years to come.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
  1328. &lt;/div&gt;
  1329. &lt;/div&gt;
  1330. &lt;/div&gt;
  1331. &lt;/div&gt;

It was a huge room, like a warehouse, and wasn’t fancy or pretty. It was filled with babies who were naked and lying close to one another.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Why are there so many babies here?” I inquired.&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc3300;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;These are babies of mothers who did not want them.

It is one of the worst of all sins to Him. It was Jesus who had said, “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc3300;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: navy;&quot;&gt;” (Mark 10:14). Jesus loves little children, and I could see His tender compassion for these aborted babies as I watched Him and listened to Him.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;(end book quote)&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  1452. President Obama and Wall Street have been going through a rough patch. Obama said some things that hurt Wall Street&#39;s feelings, then Wall Street started&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2011/04/hedge-fund-managers-feeling-battered-spouses-abandon-obama/37026/&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;flirting with Republicans&lt;/a&gt;, but 2012 is on the horizon, and there&#39;s nothing like an external pressure to make a pair of lovebirds realize just how much they need each other again. Obama was in New York City Wednesday night for three back-to-back fundraisers, and he urged the finance crowd to help him get reelected so more people could live out the American Dream, just like they had.&lt;/div&gt;
  1453. &lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1454. Obama told the dinner party guests--who&#39;d paid $35,800 to attend--that they were winners. &quot;Everybody here almost by definition has lived out that American dream,&quot; he said,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;font-size: 15px;&quot;&gt;The New York Times&lt;/em&gt;&#39;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/28/us/politics/28donate.html&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Helene Cooper&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;reports. &quot;The question is, will that same story be told by our children and grandchildren?&quot; Obama&#39;s 2012 campaign aims to raise $1 billion for 2012, and if he wants to do that, he&#39;s going to have to make nice with the financial services industry, many members of which are annoyed by Democrats&#39; populist rhetoric in the wake of the financial crisis. A widely-circulated hedge fund manager&#39;s email indicated his peers felt like battered wives. It read:&lt;/div&gt;
  1455. &lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: #e9e2e2; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 20px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-top: 20px;&quot;&gt;
  1456. &lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1457. &quot;I am sure, if we are really nice and stay quiet, everything will be alright and the president will become more centrist and that all his tough talk is just words... I mean, he really loves us and when he beats us, he doesn&#39;t mean it.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
  1458. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1459. &lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1460. Despite the popularity of that dramatic email, Obama planned on pulling between $2 million and $3 million from Wednesday&#39;s three events. Business Insider&#39;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-fundraiser-jon-corzine-35800-tickets-waldorf-astoria-2011-4&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Katya Watchel&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;noted that the first event of the night, hosted by former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, shows that &quot;Actually, Some Wall Streeters Haven&#39;t Turned on Obama.&quot; Among the still-loyal in attendance, according to&lt;em style=&quot;font-size: 15px;&quot;&gt;Politico&lt;/em&gt;&#39;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0411/53843.html&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Maggie Haberman&lt;/a&gt;: financier Bernard Schwartz, Kerry Kennedy, socialite Patricia Duff, Ned Lamont (who beat Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut Democratic primary for his Senate seat on 2006), MF Global president Bradley Abelow, and chair of Eastdil Secured Ben Lambert.

(It appears neither did.)&lt;/div&gt;

  1507. President Obama and Wall Street have been going through a rough patch. Obama said some things that hurt Wall Street&#39;s feelings, then Wall Street started&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2011/04/hedge-fund-managers-feeling-battered-spouses-abandon-obama/37026/&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;flirting with Republicans&lt;/a&gt;, but 2012 is on the horizon, and there&#39;s nothing like an external pressure to make a pair of lovebirds realize just how much they need each other again. Obama was in New York City Wednesday night for three back-to-back fundraisers, and he urged the finance crowd to help him get reelected so more people could live out the American Dream, just like they had.&lt;/div&gt;
  1508. &lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1509. Obama told the dinner party guests--who&#39;d paid $35,800 to attend--that they were winners. &quot;Everybody here almost by definition has lived out that American dream,&quot; he said,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;font-size: 15px;&quot;&gt;The New York Times&lt;/em&gt;&#39;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/28/us/politics/28donate.html&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Helene Cooper&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;reports. &quot;The question is, will that same story be told by our children and grandchildren?&quot; Obama&#39;s 2012 campaign aims to raise $1 billion for 2012, and if he wants to do that, he&#39;s going to have to make nice with the financial services industry, many members of which are annoyed by Democrats&#39; populist rhetoric in the wake of the financial crisis. A widely-circulated hedge fund manager&#39;s email indicated his peers felt like battered wives. It read:&lt;/div&gt;
  1510. &lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: #e9e2e2; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 20px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-top: 20px;&quot;&gt;
  1511. &lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1512. &quot;I am sure, if we are really nice and stay quiet, everything will be alright and the president will become more centrist and that all his tough talk is just words... I mean, he really loves us and when he beats us, he doesn&#39;t mean it.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
  1513. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1514. &lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  1515. Despite the popularity of that dramatic email, Obama planned on pulling between $2 million and $3 million from Wednesday&#39;s three events. Business Insider&#39;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-fundraiser-jon-corzine-35800-tickets-waldorf-astoria-2011-4&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Katya Watchel&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;noted that the first event of the night, hosted by former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, shows that &quot;Actually, Some Wall Streeters Haven&#39;t Turned on Obama.&quot; Among the still-loyal in attendance, according to&lt;em style=&quot;font-size: 15px;&quot;&gt;Politico&lt;/em&gt;&#39;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0411/53843.html&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Maggie Haberman&lt;/a&gt;: financier Bernard Schwartz, Kerry Kennedy, socialite Patricia Duff, Ned Lamont (who beat Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut Democratic primary for his Senate seat on 2006), MF Global president Bradley Abelow, and chair of Eastdil Secured Ben Lambert. CNBC&#39;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnbc.com/id/42780381&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;John Carney&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;reported there were rumors that even JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Goldman Sachs head Lloyd Blankfein might show up. (It appears neither did.)&lt;/div&gt;

I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit? In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone&#39;s bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

That is the most direct threat he has issued during months of escalating tension with Iran over its disputed nuclear development program.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;His comments appeared aimed more at Israel and its supporters in the United States than at Iran. Obama addresses the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee on Sunday and meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday at the White House. Netanyahu will also address AIPAC.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&quot;I think that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I don&#39;t bluff,&quot; he said in the interview. &quot;I also don&#39;t, as a matter of sound policy, go around advertising exactly what our intentions are.

The dispute with Israel is over the timing and efficiency of such a strike, not whether one is ever appropriate. The difference of opinion has quickly come to dominate the U.S.-Israeli relationship and the U.S. strategy for dealing with a nuclear Iran is a major issue for American Jewish voters in this election year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;Israeli leaders have strongly hinted that they want to hear clearer terms from Obama for what the United States would do if Iran crosses the threshold from nuclear energy to nuclear weapons. Until now, Obama has said a nuclear Iran is unacceptable but has not spelled out just what the U.S. would do or when.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;In the interview, Obama did go further than he has before. He explicitly referred to the possible use of military force, and he firmly rejected the notion that the United States might settle for a strategy of deterring Iran from using a nuclear weapon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&quot;You&#39;re talking about the most volatile region in the world,&quot; he said. &quot;It will not be tolerable to a number of states in that region for Iran to have a nuclear weapon and them not to have a nuclear weapon. Iran is known to sponsor terrorist organizations, so the threat of proliferation becomes that much more severe. &quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;He also pointed to economic turmoil in Iran and reiterated that sanctions against the Iranian regime are starting to bite.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;In a series of recent meetings with Israeli leaders, administration officials are believed to have sought to persuade the Jewish state to give sanctions more time to work and to hold off on any military strike.

A great result from multidisciplinary work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The competition challenged students to propose a concept of a small home that produces enough sustainable energy to equal out energy consumption.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The winning team, called &quot;Algaetecture&quot;, created the blueprint for a house using in-built algae tubes, photo bio-reactor, to generate hydrogen. A glazing system and water pool are incorporated into the design to mitigate - reflect and cool - the sunlight the algae need to thrive. It is estimated that the house would produce 4,100 KW/h of hydrogen and bio-mass per year - enough to drive an electric MINI E car from London to Beijing and back twice over .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;Algae and people may not present themselves as obvious bedfellows, but through this project we hope to show that the integration of algae as an energy generator within a house is not only feasible, but that it opens up many exciting architectural possibilities for green living,&quot; Karuga Koinange, from the Department of Architecture, said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/news/stories/2009/algae_house/SASBE%20poster_submitted_pg1&amp;amp;2.pdf&quot; style=&quot;color: #003399; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/news/stories/2009/algae_house/SASBE%20poster_submitted_pg1&amp;amp;2.pdf&quot; style=&quot;color: #003399; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;mosimage&quot; style=&quot;float: center; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;183&quot; hspace=&quot;6&quot; src=&quot;http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/news/stories/2009/algae_house/section.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image&quot; width=&quot;448&quot; /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;mosimage_caption&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Larger image can be found on the team&#39;s poster&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The competition, held at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, was organised and sponsored by the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB), the Passive and Low Energy Architecture association (PLEA) and the International Initiative for a Sustainable Built Environment (iiSBE).

Of course, along with the price of oil, gas prices have also risen, almost in lockstep.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;The price of gasoline today is 10% higher than it was just two months ago. The average price for a gallon of regular is almost $3.62. Gas prices in January have been the highest ever recorded price for that month. Many economists and energy analysts believe a rise to $4 a gallon is inevitable. But their estimates could be grossly understated.

On the one hand, Americans now drive less than at any time in the past 11 years. On the other hand, gasoline and oil inventories are at very low levels around the world, and traders believe that supply will tighten significantly. The fact that Americans drive much less will not offset an interruption of supply from the Middle East, a decision by refineries to charge more to turn oil into gasoline, or higher demand from emerging economies like China and India.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;[See also:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://yhoo.it/xQeot2%20&quot; style=&quot;color: #005790; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Cars You Don&#39;t Want During a Gas Crisis&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;24/7 Wall St. reviewed the major reasons that gas prices have risen in the past quarter and analyzed whether the causes will improve or worsen.

The regime in the country has made a number of threats about what it might do if its “national interests” were threatened. If Iran follows through with its threats, the period the passage is closed could be very brief if the U.S. Navy, which has a carrier group in the region, moved to reopen the lane. But it is not clear that the American government would make that decision without the open support of allies or the United Nations.

Because of the embargo against the nation due to nuclear weapons violations, the U.S. has pressured large oil importers such as Japan to act to isolate Iran by cutting their imports. This puts Japan in a position in which it has to tap even tighter global supply. Japan apparently has agreed to cut its Iranian crude imports by 20%. But as the world’s third largest oil importer, Japan indeed will have to get its oil somewhere other than Iran — which will put more pressure on current production.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;3.

The price of Brent — more than $124 a barrel — is almost $16 higher than the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, the amount most people read about in the media. But because Brent has replaced WTI as the global price benchmark, U.S. refiners set prices for gasoline and other products as if Brent were the only grade of crude used. That allows refiners with access to cheaper WTI to make larger profits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;However, when the prices converge, as happened in the final two months of 2011, WTI refiners lose their edge — and their hefty profits. “Refiners were losing&lt;a class=&quot;itxtrst itxtrsta itxthook&quot; href=&quot;http://247wallst.com/2012/02/24/eight-reasons-gas-will-hit-5-this-year/2/#&quot; id=&quot;itxthook2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 100, 0); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0.075em; color: darkgreen; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; padding-bottom: 1px; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;itxtrst itxtrstspan itxthookspan&quot; id=&quot;itxthook2w0&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat repeat; color: darkgreen; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;money in November and December.

U.S. GDP, employment and even housing have all staged unexpected improvements in recent months. Many economists now peg a 2012 GDP increase at more than 2%. The new White House budget assumes growth of 3% by 2013. An average of more than 100,000 jobs has been created in each of the past six months. And an extension of payroll tax cuts through the end of this year may further aid the employment recovery. An extension of unemployment benefits means that hundreds of thousands of American who would have no income, will have at least enough to consume basic goods and services. The argument that Americans now drive less is not a powerful one for gas and oil demand when a healthy economy also means more consumption of oil for business, petrochemicals and jet fuel. Demand for oil-based products across the entire economy will pick up with any recovery.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 11px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;7.

vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;We awoke this morning and wouldn&#39;t you know it: The stench has lifted. You know, that smell that hung heavily all week -- that subtle mix of patriotism (the proud delegates) and patchouli (the street whores), with a touch of bad-ass (Obama) and a slight whiff of bullshit (still Obama). It&#39;s wafting its way north now, through the plains to St. Paul, where it will crawl up the noses of every Republican in Minnesota and, if they&#39;re not careful, a few unlucky Canadians.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;We, of course, are left behind to pick up the pieces, to try to figure out what the hell just happened. So, here, a look back at the week that was. After all, it was the only time in Denver&#39;s history that a white-haired, white-collared old man wearing coke-bottle glasses will sit at the bar at LoDo&#39;s swanky Spill, watching CNN and sipping Glenlivet. We better not forget it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;-- Joe Tone&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3323839425052486103&amp;amp;postID=6948643366305571459&amp;amp;from=pencil&quot; name=&quot;more&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #3366cc; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
