Race may be down to a handful of unknowns

(AP) ? Flush with cash, Mitt Romney plans to open a new front in the White House race by challenging President Barack Obama in upper Midwest states where he might not have dug in otherwise. Obama is intensifying his efforts to cast his Republican rival as out of touch, which he's already been working pretty hard at doing.

Sure, this is the beginning of the homestretch to Election Day, when everything in the two campaigns goes into overdrive and a September or October surprise could upend it all.

But this all has the whiff of politicking around the margins, too ? a tweak in state-by-state strategy here, a rhetorical detour there. The fact is that both candidates believe the campaign's direction is mostly settled and will be decided by a handful of unknowns.

With two months until the Nov. 6 vote, it remains remarkably close with a turbulent summer and back-to-back conventions seemingly doing little to shift the trajectory. Jobs and the weak economy still dominate. The latest unemployment rate, 8.1 percent, did nothing to change that. A rate finally dropping below 8 percent might have.

Romney is looking to expand the battleground map by trying to put in play states that have long voted for Democratic presidential nominees. Among them are the home states of the Republican ticket, Michigan for Romney and Wisconsin for Rep. Paul Ryan.

In the coming weeks, Romney's team is expected to pay for a heavy level of TV ads for Michigan and Wisconsin, either in hopes of winning them or to force Obama to spend precious campaign dollars to defend states he won by more than 10 percentage points in 2008. Polls in both states slightly favor Obama.

A super political action committee supporting Obama launched a new ad in Wisconsin Saturday.

The Priorities USA Action ad says challenger Romney is advocating tax policies that would increase the tax burden on middle-income families.

The ad is also running in Colorado, Ohio, Iowa, Florida and Virginia.

In key states, public polling and internal surveys by Republicans and Democrats find Obama, who carried a number of typically Republican states in his 2008 victory, with slight leads. He may have more paths to victory in the state-by-state competition to rack up the 270 electoral votes needed.

Romney faces a series of built-in challenges that come with taking on an incumbent, and he has little margin for error. What he's got is more money to spend on drenching the airwaves, and an apparent if slight advantage in public opinion on the leading issue of the time, the economy.

His Virginia Beach, Va., rally Saturday and Obama's weekend bus tour in Florida underscored the sharp competition for those two states, among others.

If Romney got a bounce in public esteem and energy from the Republican National Convention, it was probably absorbed and overtaken by the Democratic convention that followed. But the convention was bookended by a report showing the national debt surpassing $16 trillion and by the dreary jobs numbers.

So here we are, again.

Barring the unforeseen, neither camp says much will change between now and Nov. 6.

Says White House senior adviser David Plouffe: "We're not expecting huge movement in this race all the way out to the next 60 days."

Informal Romney adviser Charlie Black agrees: "We're in a volatile period. But my guess is we'll settle back into an even race."

Still, there are some big developments ahead that could shake things up, most predictably the three presidential debates in October, plus one between the running mates. Two more unemployment reports come out before the election. A foreign policy crisis could unfold over Iran, Syria or somewhere else, severe enough to change what the candidates talk about and what the voters want to know.

Both campaigns are hunkering down to sift through post-convention, fundraising hauls and other data to help them decide which states they can win and which seem hopeless. Outside groups backing each candidate are doing the same, no small matter considering their aggressive advertising building up ? or more commonly, tearing down ? a candidate.

Even before the conventions ended, there were shifts in strategy as GOP outside groups pulled up their advertising stakes in Pennsylvania and Michigan, while pouring an additional $13 million into the most competitive states.

"This is when the cards go on the table," said Democratic strategist Tad Devine, a top adviser to past Democratic nominees Al Gore and John Kerry.

In the final two months, small headaches can be amplified and more voters pay attention, especially those whose minds are not made up. Obama and Romney both want to drive up turnout among their core supporters without alienating independents, who decide close races.

Obama will deploy his two chief Romney critics, Vice President Joe Biden and former President Bill Clinton, to states where they can try to narrow Romney's advantage with white working-class voters, including Ohio and Pennsylvania. He will dispatch San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the convention keynoter, and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to states with many Hispanics, such as Colorado and Nevada.

Michelle Obama will step up her efforts to maintain or expand her husband's advantage with female voters. She and the president will get an assist from Georgetown University law school student Sandra Fluke, who emerged as a leader in the fight over access to contraception and addressed the convention.

Romney is counting on Ryan to validate him with working-class voters in the Midwest, and his wife, Ann, to help convince women that he's on their side.

Obama is imploring voters to give his policies more time to take hold and trying to capitalize on two advantages: Polls find he is well-liked and more apt than Romney to understand people's problems.

In speeches and in ads, Obama and his team will remind voters that the president was raised by a single mother and saddled with student loan debt. They'll argue that the president understands middle class economic struggles because he has lived them, implying that Romney, who grew up wealthy, does not. That was a strong theme of the party's convention.

But for the Romney team, says adviser Kevin Madden, "it's about performance, plain and simple," on the economy and jobs especially.

The Romney campaign came out with 15 ads Friday for eight battleground states.

In Colorado and Virginia, the ads stress defense cuts. In Iowa, where unemployment is relatively low, the message is about the national debt and business regulation.

Obama's team is increasingly confident in the president's prospects in Nevada and Colorado, largely because of his advantage among Hispanics and women, so they see the election probably coming down to Ohio, Florida and Virginia.

Party operatives say Obama appears strongest in Ohio, where the economy is improving and the auto bailout is popular. Virginia remains tight, but Democrats see a path to victory through increased minority registration and last week's state ruling that conservative former Rep. Virgil Goode would appear on Virginia's presidential ballot. The president's aides say Goode could take a percentage point or two of support away from Romney, which could tip the balance.

It's Florida that makes Democrats most nervous. Their troubles in the state, especially with its Jewish voters, only increased during the Democratic convention. The party scrambled to reinstate words in its platform recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital after the omission drew criticism from Republicans.

Romney, who is already issuing mail brochures in battleground states, is expected to sponsor mail or radio ads drawing attention to the issue in Broward County and West Palm Beach, heavily Jewish communities in south Florida.

The race also is tight in New Hampshire and Iowa, with both sides campaigning in those states in the last two days.

It seems of particular concern for Obama. He's been to Iowa 10 times this year. Democrats claim it's a sign that he sees Iowa as insurance in case he loses elsewhere.

Republican Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad sees it differently.

"Obama has been back here again and again and again," Branstad said Thursday. "He knows he's in trouble here."

$1 Billion Carbon Capture for Alberta Oil Sands

?
Shell has approved a $1.36-billion carbon capture project for Canada?s Alberta oil sands. This project supposedly will capture one million tons of CO2 each year, which will be stored about one mile below the Earth?s surface. The carbon capture project has been named Quest, and $874 million dollars in funding for it is coming from the governments of Alberta and Canada. (The bulk of the funds is coming from the Alberta government.)

The New York Times reports?that?the companies involved in the project?(Shell, Chevron, and Marathon) have not stated how much they have invested in it.

The Shell press release says its project will reduce emissions at the Scotford upgrader, where bitumen is processed, by up to 35 percent. They also say this reduction is the equivalent of removing 175,000 cars from operation, each year.

Joe Oliver, Canada?s energy minister said: ?Our government is committed to exploring and demonstrating CCS technology as a critical opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect our environment.?

A representative of Greenpeace said they would rather see the money go towards clean energy production, such as the development of solar and wind farms. They also mentioned fuel-efficient vehicles as a potential alternative.

It seems more than a little odd that the companies managing the carbon capture and storage project have not divulged how much they are pitching in. Certainly many people would probably like to know if the governments involved are paying the bulk of the cost. (Shell?s 2012 first quarter profits were $7 billion, according to Think Progress.)
?

?
?It?s a lot of taxpayer money spent on greenwashing. The truth is there is an environmental Armageddon happening in northern Alberta. There are also questions about whether these gases can be safely stored underground,? said?Kate Colarulli, deputy director of the Sierra Club?s Beyond Oil campaign.

Certain questions arise, such as where exactly will the liquified CO2 be pumped, and how secure will it be underground? How can it be monitored for leakage?

Will independent testers be allowed to measure the amounts of CO2 that are being captured and stored? Allowing a Big Oil corporation to manage it?s own environmental accountability, and helping it fund the emissions reduction project sounds more than a little questionable. Equally important is the suggestion the greenlighting or greenwashing of the oil sands carbon capture may help get the Keystone pipeline project approved by U.S. officials after all.

Focus on the Family Community: Relationships and Marriage ...

Currently Being Moderated

Sep 6, 2012 4:55 AM

Hello, I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place and am looking for some advice. I'm 23 and have been married for three years come october. Things haven't always been easy but we have seemed to make it work. Lately however, things haven't been so great.? It is tough finding the motivation to do even the smallest tasks because I feel my husband no longer cares for me. I think he may be involved in an affair (hopefully just emotionally.) He shows many of the common signs such as sneaky, secretive with his computer and phone, and very distant. He has had problems with porn before, a major addiction in fact, and I feel it may have been chatting as well. He also had a problem with smoking which led to a lot of him lying and breaking promises. I still have a hard time trusting him but try to give him the benefit of the doubt. He works around some pretty tough guys and is starting to become more like them( different humor, more cursing, etc.). I have no close family or friends to talk to and no where to turn to. (i am currently unemployed and we have no savings money). He is so distant and more verbally aggressive lately that I feel like I can't even talk to him. He is great at manipulating a conversation to his way which makes it hard to accomplish serious talks. He also throws around the I'm sorrys frequently, just to end a conversation.? I do hope someone can help me in figuring out what to do. I feel right now that the only reason I'm in this marriage still is because i have no where else to go, no where to turn to, and don't want God (or others) to frown upon me for divorce.? I was young when I married and he was my first boyfriend, but I feel like we were really in love and really had a good relationship. I thought we shared the same values and looks but now his are changing so much I'm not so sure. I feel now what I wouldn't want him to father my kids(we have none currently) because he is just so selfish! I literally have to beg him to pay attention to me, and nine out of ten times he just wants to watch tv 'together' (him in another chair, not talking).? I'm starting to think it's over and don't know what to do. I have so much stress and anxiety I can't sleep and now I feel like I'm taking the whole world on single handedly. I want that good Christian marriage I've always heard about but am starting to think it is impossible. I don't know how to confront him about infidelity and he won't listen when I ask for help or support otherwise. I know I'm not perfect either, I had a lot of hormone mood swings and anger lately. I haven't been the best at showing love either, its been hard to keep up a happy front.? I hope someone can help. Any opinion would be appreciated! Like I said, I have no one else to talk to. I want to know if there is still a chance this could work. What should I do next and how do I get happy and feel fulfilled in life? I want to make God happy and I want to be happy again too. Please help!

Food and Nutrition Sector: What You Need To Know

Food and Nutrition is one of the largest, most essential sectors of any government around the world. The supply and demand of food products is essential in any economy, much less in any healthy and thriving community.

The issue of food and nutrition is considered as one of the most essential components of a successful community as it makes up most of a person?s daily life. The United States understands this, which is why it has created several governmental agencies that are tasked solely to support and consolidate food and nutrition-related concerns.

On top of the list is the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, otherwise known as NIFA. Established in the year 2008, the agency was specifically designed to consolidate all federally-funded agricultural research, and will be subordinate to the Department of Agriculture.

The mission of the NIFA is to ?stimulate and fund the research and technological innovations that will enhance American agriculture and make it more productive and environmentally sustainable while ensuring the economic viability of agriculture and production.?

And it aims to achieve this by administering a slew of programs and initiatives like the Food Security Learning Center Program which aims to create and maintain a national, web-based clearinghouse of information on community food security concerns and common community problems related to the underlying causes of hunger and poverty, including the loss of farms and ranches, rural poverty, welfare dependency, hunger, and food access issues.

On the other hand, there also exists the United States Food and Nutrition Service, otherwise referred to as the FNS. The agency operates under the United Department of Agriculture is generally responsible for administering the country?s domestic nutrition assistance programs and initiatives.

The agency has established several projects and grant programs to achieve their primary agency mission, such as the Innovative Food Defense Program (IFDP) which mainly seeks to generate food defense tools and resources which are easily replicated and can most definitely complement, aid in the development of, or improve state, local, tribal and territorial food defense programs.

Meanwhile, there is also the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), one of the largest agencies under the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

The FDA is espcially designed to safeguard and promote public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs (medications), vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices (ERED), and veterinary products.
