Open Question: Earth’s largest economy…American Women. Women how do you feel about being treated as a consumer object?

"Women’s marketplace dominance is clear in every area. Statistics overwhelm and convince us that women are the market and the economy as demonstrated not only by the Business Women’s Network but Marty Barletta in her new book on marketing to women. Marty Barletta notes, “Women are responsible for 83% of all consumer purchases. * Home furnishings (94%) * Vacations (92%) * Houses (91%) * Consumer electronics (51%) * Cars (60% of purchases and influence 90%)" http://www.roadandtravel.com/newsworthy/newsandviews04/womeninmarketplace.htm ------------------------------------------------------ Women are the dominant spending force in almost every retail/business category and are the most affluent and influential consumers of today. * Of all consumer purchases, women are responsible for 83% * Homes: Directly purchase or influence the purchase of 91% of all new homes * Home fix-up purchases: More than 55% * Retail: Account for 88% of customers in the US & Canada * Auto: Make more than 50% of all auto purchases and influence 85%. * Home furnishings: 94% * Vacation choices: 92% * House purchases: 91% * Consumer electronics purchases: 51% (women are involved in 89% of all consumer electronic purchase decisions) * Home Computers: Account for 66% of all purchases * Bank Accounts: Hold 89% of all accounts * Credit Cards: Women carry 76 million credit cards, 8 million more then men—(Fast Company, 2004) * Healthcare: Make 80% of Healthcare decisions and account for 67% of spending * Health: Purchase 65% of herbal remedies, vitamins and minerals and purchase 80% of all healthcare * Beauty and hygiene: Purchase more than 90% * Clothes, accessories: Wear more than 90% of items such as jewelry and perfume * Meetings: Plan the meetings and comprise the majority of certified meeting planners * Office Supplies: Purchase $44.5 billion * Lawn movers: Purchase approximately 81% of riding lawn mowers All facts noted above are from the 2005 Wow! Quick Facts book and the U.S. Census Bureau, 2004 http://www.ewomennetwork.com/specialoffers/advertise.php ------------------------------------------------------ If we follow the money trail, the system makes it easy for male resources to be transfered into female hands, AA, quotas, family law. The media which is mostly aimed at women (80% of all advertising is aimed at women), tells you that men are always wrong so when he says dont buy you are less likely to listen and it tells you what to buy so the resources transfer up to the corporations that make the products and your media with relative ease. The question is, while we hear so much about women being sexually objectified and how evil it is, why is there no good or accurate discussion and analysis on the objectification of women as consumer units whos behaviour patterns are inputted via the mass media? In fact, this hype monetising and controlling of gathering behaviour is often depicted as being sucess, by certain groups.***In fact, this hyper monetising and controlling of gathering behaviour is often depicted as being sucess, by certain groupsYes dark eyes, family necessities and office supplies are covered in the categories above. more

Open Question: A possible way for the unemployed to pick up some extra money, good or bad idea?

Could there be an internet site combined with maybe a monthly free publication locally to advertise the services and skills of those who want to make a few dollars for small to medium jobs (not enough to affect their benefits, of course) In the olden days this sort of thing was common knowledge from word of mouth as to who needed some work and did a good job for extra money, but today we are isolated and dependent on overwhelmed and backlogged major companies. Should the unemployed start a grassroots movement to advertise their skills so we can help them out, maybe call it Word of Mouth?Another idea would be to call it "I Know Someone Who..." and then could list various skills, such as fix your water pipe, replace your door, load up your furniture for a move, drive the truck, change your tire, whatever skills each unique individual has for some extra money. Just a thought. Feel free to criticize or add ideas.Ms. Minerva. I certainly would never suggest anything fraudulent. I have never been unemployed and have no idea what the laws are. I thought they were required to report any income, and would prefer to work and report it. If they failed to report it then the burden would be on them for fraud. I am suggesting above the table, not under the table. more

Open Question: How to find unemployed people who need work, small to medium jobs?

Just about everyone I know needs some small to medium jobs done, from home repairs to moving to a new residence and would like to give the work to someone unemployed, but have no means of knowing who they are in our isolated world which makes us more dependent on the major companies for these things. The unfortunate part is that the major companies are so backlogged they can't provide decent service, for example....three months to replace a door, 2 months to fix a water pipe, 2 weeks or more to deliver household goods to a new residence, a one day trip. Should the unemployed put out flyers to advertise their services and earn some money? more

Open Question: How can I make money properly from affiliate marketing using free social media and clickbank?

I am on a modest budget and would like to laern how to make money using clickbank and social media properly without spending money on advertising such as Google Adwords. With so many so called systems out there I would rather a system that actually lives up to its claims if you have a step by step that you follow and DOES make a good residual income. I really want to get out the rat race and have at least a decent second income by the end of this year and then eventually be able to have a full time income online selling affilate products to begin with. more

Open Question: Dealer Bonus Chips and Add Ons?

1st year was called at 9 AM and asked to run a poker tournament that day at the local yearly festival. We ran it for a $11 buy in with $1 going to the festival. We started at 4 PM and had like 32 people. The tournament lasted about 6 hours. 2nd year it was not advertised by mistake and was scheduled to start at 1 PM. $15 buy in, $5 going to the festival. It actually didn't start until 2 PM and then there was a stop in play for the parade at 3 PM for about 45 minutes. We had about the same amount of people, maybe even a few less than the year before as a lot of people came around 4 PM and missed out on playing. This year it going to start at 4 PM. They forgot to put it on the posters again but we are putting up flyers this week at local places. Buy in is the same as last year, $15, $5 going to the festival. To cover my cost in flyers, decks of cards, use of my tables and chips, and a 1st Place plaque I am giving out along with the prize money, I want to offer the BONUS DEALER CHIPS for $5. FYI: I also purchased Texas Hold Em magnets (9" x 3") at an auction I was at this year that I am giving to each paid entry. How many chips should I offer for the $5? The beginning chip stack is set to be 3000 with a slow/medium blind schedule. Also, I would like to offer one add on after the 3rd level for $5 which will be money added to the pot. How many chips should I offer with that? Is there a standard amount (percentage of the beginning chip stack)?Blind schedule FYI: 30 minutes per level..... 25/25 25/50 50/100 75/150 100/200 150/300 200/400 300/600 400/800 500/1000 1000/2000 By time we reach the 1000/2000 LEVEL, there will have been 5 hours of play and should be down to a final table. I run weekly home tournaments with the exact same blind schedule with 5000 in chips and average of 12-14 players a week and we end in 5 hours. The hope is that we are down to one table after 6 hours..... from there it just has to be over by 1 AM. It was over in 6 hours the first year and it was over in 6.5 hours last year. This year I am counting on the fact there is more chips to be compensated with more aggressive betting which tends to be the case around here when I have increased the size of the chip stacks. I play $10k on Sat with 15-20 people and it only takes an hour longer for double the chips than on my Friday games. more

Resolved Question: A Question About Quarter Horse Genetics, Halter Horses and Such?

As I was perusing the net looking at AQHA and APHA halter horses I was seeing a lot of this: http://www.equi-advertising.com/images/sir_cool_skip_bw2.jpg And this: http://www.dianemillerquarterhorses.com/updates/dec12/val263lead.jpg Lotsa this: http://www.halvorsonranch.com/kids%20classic%20style/buckywalkinglg.jpg Somma this: http://www.bertonqh.com/skipforwb.jpg And more of this: http://www.lotsofpinesfarm.com/stallions/bucky/buckyfrm1ds.jpg Then it hit me. I've seen that before. Like this! (Bully Whippet) http://a123.g.akamai.net/f/123/12465/1d/media.canada.com/133a26b3-7939-4ba4-b93e-0c570ecf1751/wendy-1.jpg And this! (Belgian Blue bull) http://www.bio.miami.edu/~cmallery/150/neuro/belgian.blue.jpg Now before you all jump on a bandwagon and think I'm knocking halter horses, lemme ask my question. So all that muscle mass in the bully Whippet and Belgain Blue is attributed to them lacking myostatin, a TGF beta protein, which inhibits muscle differentiation and growth from what I read. Is this condition present in Quarter Horses too? I did some google searches before asking this and really didn't come up with anything pertaining to horses. Does anyone know anything about the possibility of these big muscle-bound horses maybe lacking myostatin? Just curious. I mean, some of the horses I was looking at even had well-defined muscles popping out of their forehead. It just didn't look normal. Feel free to blather on about anything you feel is relevant. I was just wondering if this is something that maybe has been studied, proven or dis-proven or if there is a reason it couldn't be possible at all. The only study I found that was even close pertained to TB race horses and wasn't conclusive. Also, what is your opinion on these big, buff, beefy horses?I know about HYPP. Not all the beefcake horses have it. And actuall HYPP mutates the sodium channels. Yeah, HYPP positive horses tend to be more muscle-bound but the fact is there are some halter-bred horses and horses that go back to Impressive aren't HYPP positive and are still as muscle-bound.@Peanut- Bully Whippets aren't purposely bred but they do happen. It's a genetic condition that happens in the breed from what I understand. The Belgian Blue cattle have a natural genetic mutation that is preserved through linebreeding. They are bred to look like that. I was just wondering if anyone knew about this genetic condition being present in horses.@Angie B- Yeah, their motto is "Leading the Way". More like "Leading the...oh crap! He's going down, another attack!" I swore I wasn't going to bash but I guess I couldn't resist throwing one in there. Have you seen this? http://www.fightingms.org/HyPP_pro.html more

Open Question: Minor in general mass communications?

So I transfered to University of Miami, because that's where I really wanted to go...I'm overdue for choosing a major lol :/ The thing is, there is no general/mass communications major. In the School of Comm, they have these 9 areas: Advertising, Electronic Media, Journalism, Motion Pictures, Broadcast Journalism, Media Management, Public Relations, Communication Studies, and Visual Journalism. They have a general communications minor though! Also minors in several of these areas...i would love to major in mass comm, but i am NOT transfering again lol. Do you think that a minor in communications would let you enter any field you want? Like if you want to work with psa/non-profit commercial ads that inspire ppl to not do drugs or be bullies haha; or be an on-camera reporter/broadcast journalist...will it let you? I'm thinking of majoring in theatre , with a minor in mass communications, with some biology/health science, philosophy thrown in there too lol...many interests! more

Voting Question: Is an undergraduate degree in BS Psychology any good here in the Philippines?

Taking up BS Psychology in De La Salle University. My kwenta ba ang BS Psychology, lalo't wala naman akong planong magmedicine after graduation? (Well, as of now. Who knows, maybe I will, if ever I would decide to pursue it in the future) Anyways, since I have no plans of taking medicine after graduation, you might say, "Eh di sana nag AB Psychology ka nalang." But then I have my reason on why I chose BS. According to some people's opinions, and articles, BS would be more profitable, since it has ''greater flexibilities and more opportunities." I don't think I should explain why I chose the field of Psychology, but if you want to know, I'd be glad to explain why. Anyways, in the brochure given to us, BS Psych have a lot of career options, from account/advertising executive, employee relations, hotel management, media buyer, of course psychological assessor, to press relations, human resourse, etc etc. But that's not enough, I mean, mahirap na magkatrabaho ngayon. more

Voting Question: what do you think of my major & the stereotype associated with?

I am a Communication major focusing on Electronic Media & Visual Communication My minor is Marketing and I'm getting a certification in Public Relations. I want to work in media, production, animation, etc or start out working in Marketing/Advertising, etc. My long term goal is to have my own business + production company (like 20-30 years from now). I've worked 4 jobs my whole life and I'm a junior in college, I've serviced with a form of the Corps. I get discouraged because some students at my school look down on Communication majors. I have a job right now that utilizes my speaking, writing, and presentation skills. Yeah some students might choose it as an "easy" major, but how is it easy when we are designing, writing, using latest software, etc. I get discouraged. more

Voting Question: BUPA denied my daughters claim for critical illness for a spinal tumour, then put a private detective to foll?

My daughter had a spinal tumour and could not work 8-10 hours a day in her profession as a school teacher . Bupa denied her claim despite this being under all the guidelines of our claim, and a 5 year battle. They fought her using every spurious piece of non-fact information and scammed her. Apparently this is quite common with critical illness claims refused en masse. In the 5th year of her ongoing claim they placed a detective to follow and film her ( unknown to her ) and to film and track her every movement, they followed and filmed her everywhere.......... All she could manage work wise was 2 hours a day ( 4 days a week) tutoring and BUPA were told of this. However, they didn't believe her. As well as following and filming my daughter BUPA also instigated following her pupils, and this is what they did. ;- They followed her pupils to places they went , then to their homes, took their car registration details and logged their addresses. They traced their electoral roll details of who owned the house and even how much they paid . They tracked their communications systems and a knowledge of such. They described the car and the occupants. These were my daughters pupils and had nothing whatsoever to do with my daughters genuine claim. So much for Data protection as I now have all this private and personal data which I should not hold, but do so thanks to the Freedom of Information act and BUPA having to divulge what they had done .Without the FOIA act companies like BUPA get away with these appalling acts of intrusion on folk who have no idea they are being stalked. BUPA also traced any account with facebook, twitter etc or any written word she had ever put on the web. Despite all this they did not come up with a single item that could dispute my daughters claim. They stole her pupils privacy and invaded their lives and that of their parents. I contacted THE ONE SHOW who were keen to do the story but then one of their researchers contacted Bupa's media / advertising section who persuaded the deluded lass there was no story to be told . Can someone tell me are companies like BUPA etc allowed to invade and steal personal information , particularly with regard to her pupils who are merely 3rd parties with nothing to do with her claim ? more

Resolved Question: Anyone done business with 5050loan.com?

I am asking this question for a second time, as all of the replies I received during the past several days, nobody seemed to read my question and just started providing links to various bad credit loan companies, payday loan companies, and companies that only fund loans up to $1,500. I am not interested in any of these loan companies. So please read my question before submitting your answer(s). Thank you. In this case, if you have not received a loan via 5050loan.com, you WILL NOT be able to answer my question, so please do not bother to answer my question if you HAVE NOT received a loan through 5050 loan.com. Thank you for your understanding. MY QUESTION: After seeing various online ads provided by 5050loan.com (see some of their claims below), along with reading the positive feedback on 5050loan.com in Yahoo Answers already, I was already to try my luck at getting one of their loans. However upon going to their website today (08-03-10), they have a statement on their website that states: “AS OF JULY 19, 2010 WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING ANY NEW LOAN PACKAGE SUBMISSIONS DUE TO THE LARGE VOLUME OF SUBMISSIONS WE HAVE REACHED OUR MAXIMUM PROCESSING FOR THE MONTH OF JULY ”. I have never heard of a business or company having to put potential customers on hold like this. Yet upon doing a little further online research of this company, it looks like they have over advertised and they seem to have quite a few ads on Craigslist and The Backpage and have ads on other various online advertising venues all over the country. Well it must be nice! I sure wish I could get a job working for them if they are that backed-up with business. SMILE! Yet upon reading a few media articles on this company, it seems that they work with several lenders and are not the actual lender themself. So I was wondering if anyone that has a loan through 5050loan.com, can you please provide me your lender name and telephone number. Because I somehow have a feeling that 5050loan.com is going to be swamped for awhile, and I would like to apply for a loan through one of their lenders, since 5050loan.com seems to be the only company out there that might be able to help a person like me in my financial situation get a loan for $25,000, yet if they are that busy at the moment, I hope by going to one of their lenders directly, I can have better luck to see if I can get a loan or not, rather than waiting for 5050loan.com to open their doors to start taking applications once again. Seeing that it is already August 3rd, they still have not updated their website to provide a status on when they will be taking applications again. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks everyone : - ) Ernesto 5050loan.com states in their ad: No Credit Check - No Collateral Required - No Co-Signer Required No Bank or Checking Account Required - Garnishment Ok No Job OK - Stated Income Ok - No W2 or Tax Returns Required Bad Credit Ok - Repossession Ok - Charge Offs Ok - Bankruptcy Ok Foreclosure OK - No Credit Ok Loans up to $50,000 - No Upfront Fees UP to $50,000 Unsecured Personal Loan No Credit Check - Patented Identity Verification Check more

Voting Question: What subjects should I choose in high school to become an advertiser?

We have to pick our subjects soon and recently I decided that it would be a good idea to go into the advertising industry because I'm excelling in media studies, excelling in the marking side of business studies and I also am interested in physiology. I know that there is many parts to advertising, but I want to be the person that creates the ideas and directs the adverts. Not the person who does all the market research and ETC. So tell me what are good subjects to take to be able to get a degree in advertising!? more

Resolved Question: Do you think borderline-propaganda media networks should be sued for distortion of truth for political agenda?

I frequently find myself deeply offended by the frighteningly extremist near-propagandist rhetoric I see on television which always has seen fox leading the way with lunatic hollywood characters obviously just meant to get peoples attention, and hence advertising revenue, at all costs. Who else feels that we as a people in america should sue and demand monetary reprisal from any media channel proven to be grossly biased in the amount of time or emotional quality given to coverage of the various political parties? I think the american people need a stimulus package from those who make millions by poisoning our publics' right to "fair and balanced information". A right which if infringed upon, leads to a sort of corporate mind control over the american people; where we (and hence our entire country by means of influence over who we vote for in elections) become literal mind controlled slaves to the hollywood style tabloid entertainment of giant corporate media? I encourage any of you who have not seen it to google the movie 'outfoxed' and watch it for a clarification of how far this corruption has gone. Let me know how you all feel about this and if I get enough positive attention I will set up a webpage for an official petition of the american people who would both support and fund this lawsuit. God bless. more

Waste not want not --- Just an excuse of the cheap at heart and therefore compared to being miserly Or a virtue or conservation reuse and so forth ?

Resolved Question: In the Philippines, are you in favor of Local Cable TV for townships and cities?

The idea would create jobs in TV broadcasting and communications industries, new jobs to broadcast engineers to producers to writers and many more. Local Cable TV stations can produce local morning shows, local news, sit com, dramas, and game shows using local talent. It can be funded by wealthy local entrepreneurs or as cooperatives or affiliates of the giants in the Philippines broadcasting industry like ABS-CBN Corporation and GMA Network Inc. It would create jobs in the local communities and improve local businesses with a local media to provide advertising exposure for local products and services. more

Resolved Question: Starcraft 2 graphics problem?

I recently purchased a new HP laptop and installed starcraft 2 and was disspaointed to discover I can't seem to handle any graphic setting except low.

Resolved Question: Do you subscribe to these MRA principles and goals?

"Principals and Goals of the Men’s Movement PRINCIPLES we recognize and affirm: The existence of natural differences between the genders. The extreme immorality of certain social forces, and at the same time, the very real opportunity that these forces have to deny, ignore, compromise, and repress these differences and any expression of them. The necessity of cooperation between the genders, and at the same time the inevitability of opposition between them. The scientific inconsistency and dubious morality of any claim by one gender to describe the state, condition, needs, experiences, or the value of the other gender. THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS We define the current situation in the following terms: For two generations masculinity and the male gender have been subject to an all-out attack covering every sphere, from the world of images and symbolism to that of common everyday existence, applied systematically and consistently in every manner and through all means of communication and cultural diffusion. The term male-bashing extends itself to aesthetics, opposing their attainment by men which includes the male body and men’s physicality. Every level and gradation within contemporary culture, and every unit that elaborates on or transmits that culture, without a single exception, is a tool of this program. This phenomenon is the fundamental cause of psychological/emotional harm in individuals and social dysfunctions of an ever-increasing gravity, hindering the entire male gender and in particular the younger generations. THE VALUE OF FEMININITY We reject any kind, however indirect, of denigration, of offensiveness and devaluation, of the ethical, aesthetic, and intellectual worth of the female gender; we repudiate any diminution of the symbolic importance of the feminine, and of the historical importance of female endeavors visible and invisible, past present and future. WE PURSUE THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES: The promotion of the essential value of masculinity, specifically with regard to personal dignity and the irreplaceable role of the masculine in the world of image and symbol and of the male gender in every area of life, spiritual and material, for the benefit of present and future generations. The identification and condemnation of any instance of malebashing in every context, form, or style, and any expression of malebashing, direct or indirect, open or veiled. The moral opposition to male-bashing—to the denigration and demonization of men, the denigration of male sentiments, attributes, opinions and needs, the denigration of male contributions and comportment—in the media, literature, the arts, political discourse, historiography, scientific tracts, text-books, advertising, and in every form of expression and means of communication. The restitution of the value and dignity—as well as the historic role—of past generations of men, by means of the deconstruction of feminist historiography. The struggle against the cultural ideals of a Feminist Society and its basic values— therefore against the following: The principle of the moral, aesthetic and intellectual superiority of the female gender; The denial of the existence of anti-male hatred; The criminalization both direct and indirect of the male gender; The planned inhibition of the development of male consciousness; The psychological and chemical emasculation of the younger generations; The domestication and docility of men; The use of the male libido for purposes of speculation,manipulation, intimidation and blackmail; The demand for reparations, material and moral, for the wrongs, real or imagined, sustained by the female gender; The legal commercialization of sexual relations and relations based upon affection; The presumed permissibility of an autocratic imposition of behavioral rules upon the male gender; The principles of political correctness and the imposition of its vocabulary" Translated from Italian by R. Randazzo http://www.uomini3000.it/default.htm more

Resolved Question: please help me with my awful hair!!?

Ok, so about a moth ago I dyed my (fake) blond hair that I've had for pretty much my entire life, to a very dark brown. Initially it turned into an inky black, even though the box called the color "Medium ash brown) to make the color a little less drastic I added highlights, But they turned out a very light blond. This is all me using box color. I can't really afford to go to a salon as my favorite place recently burned down, and almost every place I've been since then, sucks. I'm trying to get my hair to a nice warm medium brown. However I'm hesitant to buy auburn hair dye, after having so many mishaps with box color not turning out as advertised. Can anyone recommend some good at home color systems or rinses for brunettes (who are also poor)? I'm sooo sick of looking like a white trash zebra. Thanks more

Resolved Question: Help on dog walking advertising?

Hi there! Firstly, yes, i'm 15 and in the UK... Please don't bash me for my age or say I'm not capable of doing dog walking. So far I take out a Husky X Rottie X German Shepherd and before you say 'she's out of your league', no, no she isn't. You see when I first took her out, and believe me, I nearly thought I was going to die. I went around the owners and this big dog came flying out at me, snapping and barking in my face. Not a good start, I thought. They gave me a long, blue lead, which was the type that hurt the hands when the dog pulled. I attached it to her and they said 'see you soon, good luck...' No sooner had we got out of the gate, she dragged me down the road and saw a cat. Crap, I thought and dragged her away with all my might, the collar was very loose, making her even harder to control. I knew I wouldn't be able to walk her so I went to my neighbours and borrowed a halti... The dog was incredibly obedient now I had control. In the last three months she will now play with other dogs, big or small when before she tried to eat them. [I introduced her to other friends respectful dogs] and she knows sit, lay, paw, other paw, hi five, Heel, stay and dead now and has an amazing recall! I did this, so please don't say I can't handle big dogs. I love her, and she is my favourite dog, I take her out for an hour daily but a lot of the time more. My second dog is a Cane Corso... I took her out three times a week but now only when needed... Yes, she is a great dog but had severe aggression wit other dogs... She is being professionally trained. Third dog I will be taking out in a few weeks. She is a eight week old Husky female, and very fiesty. These are my only clients at the moment and I would like to have more now... The leaflets I produce have DOG WALKER on the top my number at the bottom and prices... Should I have prices on there? Or not? The prices are: Well trained dogs- Small Dog: 4.00 pounds an hour Medium Dog: 4.50 pounds an hour Large Dog: 5.00 pounds an hour GIANT Dog: 5.50 pounds an hour Dog aggressive- Small Dog: 4.50 pounds an hour Medium Dog: 5.00 pounds an hour Large Dog: 6.00 pounds an hour GIANT Dog: 7.00 pounds an hour [Note: If dog has a muzzle and Halti price per hour is the same for a non aggressive dog] People Aggressive: Small Dog: 4.50 pounds an hour Medium Dog: 5.50 pounds an hour Large Dog: 6.50 pounds an hour GIANT Dog: 8.00 pounds an hour [Note: If dog has a muzzle and Halti price per hour is the same for a dog aggressive dog.] Is that okay - Am I charging too much or too less?? And what are good paces for advertising? if you have any more advice that would be great! more

Resolved Question: Will the Democrat media blitz be enough to save the Democrats from losing control of the House in 2010?

The Democrats’ strategy to preserve their House majority became clearer Thursday as the party made a $28 million investment in television advertising for the final weeks of the fall campaign, a plan meant to build a defensive firewall to protect freshmen and some vulnerable longtime incumbents. Several incumbent Democrats are bracing for something they have rarely faced: serious competition. Their predicament is the latest sign of distress for their party and underlines why Republicans are confident of making big gains in November and perhaps even winning back the House. Democrats are playing defense in every corner of the country, hoping to use their fund-raising advantages to preserve their 40-seat majority in the House. The $28 million in advertising commitments represents the bulk of the $34 million in cash that the party committee had available at the end of June. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/23/us/politics/23dems.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper more

Resolved Question: Which VCE Science subject is most beneficial?

I'll be choosing my Yr 11 subjects soon - currently contemplating between psychology, physics and biology. I plan on studying no more than two science subjects, considering that I would like to work for the media in the future (through written texts, visual communication, advertising etc.) I am aware that Science is not very necessary or significantly beneficial in the field which I wish to study. However, science interests me and I've heard that the subjects get scaled higher. Currently, my top priority is psychology, but I believe that physics or biology are the better subjects. Providing that I am not leaning completely towards the medical/science field, I would prefer to study an aspect of science that I am able to gain more general knowledge from, rather than detailed aspects that I wouldn't be able to use in the future. Between psychology, physics and biology, which is the 'better' and more beneficial that could relate to possibly any occupation. Those with experience, tell me the pros and cons of each subject in vce! more

Resolved Question: How come Fox "fair & balanced" News not reported on the White Nationalist openly running on the GOP ticket?

A New Hampshire man who has sparked controversy for spewing racist, white supremacist views has decided to use his divisive platform to campaign for a New Hampshire State House seat. Ryan J. Murdough, a 30 year-old who works with special needs children at a local youth center, is the "state chairman" of an organization called American Third Position, or A3P, a group that defines its mission as "represent[ing] the political interests of White Americans, because no one else will." (The site currently advertises a "moneybomb" for Murdough, with a fundraising goal of $2,500.) In a caustic letter titled "We must preserve our racial identity" published by the Concord Monitor at the beginning of the month, Murdough offers his beliefs on white supremacy and racial segregation: For far too long white Americans have been told that diversity is something beneficial to their existence. Statistics prove that the opposite is true. New Hampshire residents must seek to preserve their racial identity if we want future generations to have to possibility to live in such a great state. Affirmative action, illegal and legal non-white immigration, anti-white public school systems, and an anti-white media have done much damage to the United States of America and especially New Hampshire. It is time for white people in New Hampshire and across the country to take a stand. We are only 8 percent of the world's population and we need our own homeland, just like any other non-white group of people deserve their own homeland. It gets worse: "In celebration of Black History month, I am going to recognize what they do best,commit crime,get AIDS/STD's,blame whitey,cry racism." (sic), Murdough once wrote on his Twitter page, which has since been deleted (don't worry though, because according to Murdough: "I am a moderator at www.whitenews.com where I can write more lengthy posts if I choose). Murdough filed as a Republican candidate earlier this month, but the Ashland, New Hampshire man's extreme views have since led to a few state GOP members to publicly condemn him, but Murdough doesn't seem to care. "I don't really need any Republican help. I wasn't looking for it in the first place," Murdough said. "As a whole, I think they've sold white people out." more

The donkey was sent up into the sky last week by entrepreneurs hoping to attract people to their private beach. Witnesses near the beach on the Sea of Azov in the Krasnodar region said the animal had been screaming in fear. It landed in the water and was pulled onto the shore, said police. "The donkey screamed and children cried," regional police spokeswoman Larisa Tuchkova told the AFP news agency. "No-one had the brains to call police." Instead, bystanders took photos and phoned newspapers, she said. "It was put up so high into the sky that the children on the beach cried and asked their parents: 'Why did they tie a doggy to a parachute?'" Taman newspaper reported last week. "The donkey landed in an atrocious manner: it was dragged several metres along the water, after which the animal was pulled out half-alive onto the shore," the paper reported. Police began to investigate after the incident, which occurred at the coastal village of Golubitskaya, was aired on national news on Tuesday. The businessmen responsible may face criminal charges for animal cruelty, according to news agency RIA-Novosti. The stunt was condemned by the Brooke equine welfare charity, whose president is the Duchess of Cornwall. "The Brooke is appalled at the cruel and irresponsible behaviour of the people behind this 'advertising' campaign," said Kimberly Wells, an equine welfare advisor. "There was clearly no thought for this animal's welfare before they strapped it into a parachute, sending it catapulting into the sky. "This animal would have been extremely distressed, suffering immeasurable fear and pain. This should never have happened." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-10695037 more
