Romney uses loophole with Mormon church donations to get tax break
Crocks and thieves are Smart
But that does not change what they are .

Answer
gotta love the comments about Romney paying capital gains tax. Don't they realize that if he is elected, he and Ryan are both in favor of getting rid of capital gains taxes. Meaning people like Romney will make millions and pay zero taxes.

WHY aren't football, rugby and baseball in the olympics ???

Antonio

they are sports.
soccer, for the americans

also they are team sports is not necesarily an excuse, synchronised swimming, water polo, volleyball, they are all team sports.

Answer
#1 Football(SOCCER) is in the as a 23 and under tournament with each national team getting 3 over 23 players to pick. This is a FIFA sanctioned event as they just ruled clubs must release all the 23-U players called up for the tournament. They can however say no for the over 23 players.Look for Lionel Messi he will play for Argentina.

Football with the exception of 1896 and 1932 has been apart of every Olympics and since 1996 Women. for women.

Football Olympic tournament will start August 6 and Gold medal match Sunday August 24 IT IS A 16 team tournament divided into 4 groups. Argentina won the gold medal in Athens 2004 beating Paraguay 1-nil Carlos Tevez scored the goal 18'.

GROUP A- Cote d'Ivoire, Argentina, Australia, Serbia

Group B- Netherlands, Nigeria, Japan,USA

Group C- China, New Zealand, Brazil,Belgium

Group D- South Korea, Cameroon, Honduras, Italy

http://www.fifa.com/mensolympic/standings/index.html

*England, Scotland, Wales, and N Ireland are not eligible to play Olympic Football as there's no team UK and they aer not NOC'S that will be interesting for London 2012.

#2 Rugby- Was last in the Olympics 1924 and is a candidate for being voted into the 2016 Olympics as Rugby Sevens along with 6 other sports for the final 2 spots. (BASEBALL, SOFTBALL, GOLF, ROLLER SPORTS, SQUASH, KARATE AND A YET TO BE DETERMINED 8TH SPORT AS OTHER CANDIDATES)

http://www.irb.com/newsmedia/news/newsid=2024836.html#rugby%20olympic%20games

RUGBY SEVENS would be ideal for the Olympics as it would fit into the Olympics since it's shorter then Union and would not be a cost burden. Also I will remind every body Rugby is played on every continent including OCEANIA and would be a competitive sport consider Tonga and Fiji would have a shot at a gold medal.

#3 Baseball- Will be at the BEIJING 2008 Olympics was dropped for 2012 is up for vote as a final 2 sport.

OLYMPIC BASEBALL TOURNAMENT- August 13-August 23 Gold medal game.

BASEBALL IS 8 TEAMS- China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, USA, Cuba, Canada, Netherlands (INCLUDES ARUBA, Bonaire AND CURACAO)

http://en.beijing2008.cn/news/sports/headlines/baseball/n214408597.shtml

Why was Baseball dropped? In reality only around 15 NOC'S play the sport has no real presence in the rest of the world Africa, Europe, Oceania, Most Asia and with exception of Venezuela and Caribbean coast of Colombia South America. It is a real cost burden for countries like Greece and Spain that do not exactly play the sport would have been for London i f it wasn't voted out.

The best players do not participate which is why there is no Dominican Republic like not having Italy in a World Cup.

Lastly OLD Fidel would choke on his cigar if you told him baseball was only an American sport. Cuba won most golds 1992,96,2004. Also great players come from Japan where baseball is bigger then Football. Also popular in South Korea and Taiwan. Canada is better in baseball then Soccer. They have good players who win awards in MLB same goes for Venezuela and Panama.

I need Help with baby book?

Ashley

I am filling out my sons baby book. I need help with some of the answers. He was born february 2012.

World leaders:

Headlines:

Popular entertainers:

Popular songs:

Best selling authors:

Hit tv shows:

Sports stars:

Fashion trends:

Answer some or all, but please don't BS any answers. This baby book is important to me. So if you don't know an answer please skip it.

Thanks :)

Answer
Hey there. Congrats on your new bub!
It may be hard for some people to give answers to your questions because popularity can depend on what country that person lives in. I, for example, am an Aussie, and my answers may be very different from those of someone in the US, UK, Europe, or South America.

For popular entertainers, you could probably list Lady Gaga pretty safely, though. She's everywhere!

World Leaders: well, the Australian Prime Minister at the moment is Julia Gillard. She is our first female Prime Minister, so that's kind of a history making thing (even though she's hated by just about everyone here!!!)

For best selling authors, you could probably look up the New York Times Bestsellers List, or the equivalent if you're not American.

Popular TV shows in Oz at the moment include Revenge, New Girl and . . . sorry, I don't watch much TV, or much of what's "popular" anyway. I hate reality TV, and that's what we're stuck with a lot at the moment.

For news headlines, you could search the net for major national newspapers in whatever countries you think of and look in their news archives for news stories from last month.

Hope that helps. Good luck with bub, and remember to look after yourself, too. :)

Is there a conspiracy to down play Ron Paul's popularity?

jerome2all

He was 2nd in the Iowa Strong Poll, missed 1st by 200 points.
*should be 'votes' not 'points'.

Answer
Yes.

Case in point (this is the FIRST ARTICLE I FOUND and surprise surprise! It's a perfect example:)

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/15/us-usa-campaign-republicans-idUSTRE77B5H220110815?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reuters%2FtopNews+%28News+%2F+US+%2F+Top+News%29

Headline:
"Republicans Perry, Bachmann share stage in Iowa"

Search the body text. Paul's name is not mentioned once.

Paul came in 2nd place with 27.7% (a mere 9/10ths of a percentage point behind Bachmann), and Perry came in 6th with 4.3%

So you tell me? How much more obvious could it get?

....

"He's really not as popular as some of his supporters would like you to believe." Funny, that's not what the DATA says.

Is bruno mars really gay?

everyone on facebook and twitter is saying he came out? also i dont like his music i was just wondering

Answer
Yes, here's an article about it.

âThey have closets on Mars?â
Popular musician and artist Bruno Mars has made headlines today after an April Foolâs day prank gone right.
Insiders say Mars, (real name Peter Gene Hernandez) âcame outâ on a small Chicago radio station, utilizing the day of fools to âtest the watersâ and gauge the reaction of smaller factions of his broad fanbase.
Mars stated he âwill not go to great lengths to spread this newsâ, but adding that he has real âfear of it being disregarded as a joke. My sexuality is no joke.â
Unfortunately, news spread predominantly by word of mouth, quickly being leaked on the Internet. Hundreds of supporting fans have flocked to sites such as Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook to show their approval, with Facebook group âBrunoBeProudâ launched with approximately three hundred âlikesâ, in just a few hours.
Mars has now officialised the claim, stating, âItâs come out a little faster than Iâd hoped, due to circumstancesâ.
With his first album, Doo-Wops and Hooligans, breaking in at the top of the Billboard Top 100 in 2010, there is no wonder news of his coming out has already had mention on CNN and other major broadcasting companies.
Bruno Mars has recently had considerable success, with six nominations at the 2012 Grammys, including nominations for Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. However, his record company Atlantic Records has yet to comment on the breaking news."

Is this an example of an alarmist climate scientist?

Ottawa Mik

For background, a National Geographic article (among many others) in December of 2007 reported with a headline: "Arctic Sea Ice Gone in Summer Within Five Years?" This headline was based on the reports from senior scientist at the government's snow and ice data center in Boulder, Colorado Mark Serraze and Jay Zwally. Some direct quotes:

"The Arctic is screaming," said Mark Serreze.
Jay Zwally said: "At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions."

In June of 2008, Mark Serraze was quoted as saying: "I'd say it's even-odds whether the North Pole melts out." Among other things Serraze was quoted include: âThe set-up for this summer (2008) is disturbing,â along with his description of Arctic sea ice in a âdeath spiralâ.

I asked a question last week about the media reporting the Arctic sea ice extent this summer if it breaks a record. Well, the stories are already rolling in. In a report today on Yahoo news, the headlines read: "Arctic cap on course for record melt: US scientists". Serraze is again quoted in the article as saying: "The numbers are coming in and we are looking at them with a sense of amazement,"

How can Serraze have a "sense of amazement" at the possibility of breaking the 2007 summer low Arctic ice extent record when only five years ago he and his co-worker thought the Arctic may be ice free this summer and that the ice was in a "death spiral"? Is that how alarmists operate?
@Gringo: "...there appear to be inconsistencies between the published remarks by a couple of scientists now and some years ago?"

Well at least you got that part right. Serraze should actually have had a "sense of amazement" that the Arctic is not nearly ice free this summer. Now that would have been consistent.
@Hey Dook: "... be honest enough to cite your true sources."

I did here: "In a report today on Yahoo news, the headlines read: "Arctic cap on course for record melt: US scientists". You could at least show me the courtesy of actually reading my questions if you want to make accurate insults about me.

Answer
If Mr Serreze and/or Mr Zwally had their very own high-traffic blog were they posted that and had they failed to argumentate their opinions, then yes they could be considered alarmist climate scientists.

But these are climate scientists (usually not trained in Press Relations) giving an interview to a popular magazine/site which then chooses which bits to publish and which to leave out. As long as we do not know the contents of the whole interviews, it is impossible to tell. But you already knew that. You don't want to ask a question, you just want to further critisize legitimate climate scientists as much as you can.

<<Among other things Serreze was quoted include: âThe set-up for this summer (2008) is disturbing,â along with his description of Arctic sea ice in a âdeath spiralâ.>>

The 'death spiral' reference was made by Serreze in a reaction to deniers' false claims that the Arctic is gaining ice. "There are claims coming from some communities that the Arctic sea ice is recovering, is getting thicker again. Thatâs simply not the case. Itâs continuing down in a death spiral" is what he said. (1)

<< Is that how alarmists operate?>>

So lets recap: we are heading for record low ice-coverage in the Arctic, as predicted scientifically by many climate scientists for decades already, yet you Ottawa Mike, with your obvious 'interest in climate science' given the number of questions here, believe THE most important issue now is the fact that there appear to be inconsistencies between the published remarks by a couple of scientists now and some years ago?

Right.
