BERLIN, Germany (AP) -- Vitali Klitschko has reclaimed the WBC belt and fulfilled a self-proclaimed dream to hold a heavyweight title at the same time as his brother, stopping Samuel Peter with a technical knockout on Saturday night.
Vitali Klitschko used his superior height and reach to reclaim his WBC belt from Samuel Peter.
Vitali Klitschko used his superior height and reach to reclaim his WBC belt from Samuel Peter.
NOTE: VITALI KLITSCHKO IS A WBC CHAMPION.
Peter chose not to come back out after eight rounds that saw him weaving and occasionally wobbling as Klitschko landed a persistent stream of heavy left jabs to his opponent's head in front of more than 12,000 people at the new O2 World Arena.
The 37-year-old Ukrainian fighter (36-2, 35 KOs) used his height -- 6 foot 7 inches -- and reach to keep Peter crouched and defensive.
Wladimir Klitschko, widely considered the most talented among the chaotic field of so-called heavyweight champions, holds the IBF, IBO and WBO belts -- and dealt Peter his only previous loss, in September 2005 in a 12-round unanimous decision.
Peter, a 28-year-old Nigerian-born fighter, kept a tight defensive stance and managed to plant a series of solid body shots on his towering opponent. But after eight rounds he had not worked consistently inside Klitschko's massive reach.
Klitschko told reporters after the fight that he would not have needed much longer to deliver on a promise to end the fight by knockout.
"If Samuel Peter didn't stop the fight, I have the feeling in the next two rounds, I would have knocked him out," Klitschko said. "He got more and more punches, and his chin (was) not so strong as the first rounds."

* Nigerian Peter 'grabs' WBC heavyweight belt
Klitschko has been WBC "champion emeritus" since a knee injury forced him to withdraw from a fight and retire from boxing in 2005.
The honorary status gave him the right to fight Peter (30-2), who won the interim belt in a fight against Jameel McCline last September, whenever Klitschko chose to come out of retirement.
"I knew if I lost the fight I wouldn't get a second chance," Klitschko told reporters after the fight. "It was a one-way ticket, and I used my chance."
Klitschko is a three-time champion who won the WBC title in 2004 with an eight-round victory over Corrie Sanders. The Peter fight was Klitschko's first since he defended the crown with an eighth-round win over Britain's Danny Williams in Las Vegas in 2004.
Klitschko's performances as a powerful puncher have often been overshadowed by injury.
In 2005, he withdrew from a WBC title fight with Hasim Rahman because of a torn ligament in his right knee. The injury led him to announce his retirement, and the WBC made him "champion emeritus." Last fall, he announced a comeback fight against Jameel McCline, only to back out after hurting his back and undergoing emergency surgery.
Promoter Don King said after the fight that a logical next step for Klitschko might be to seek a rematch with the retired Lennox Lewis, whom he lost to in 2003 when a fight doctor called the bout off because he had a badly cut eye.
NOTE: DON KING IS A FAMOUS AND WELL RESPECTED PROMOTER.
"What a triumph that would be for us old guys," King said.
Klitschko was more reticent.
"I need to think about it," he said of plans for his newly-revived fighting career. "I need to take care of my hand, because it is swollen."
Klitschko seemed more willing to joke about a hypothetical matchup with his brother -- which both have said is out of the question.
"You know what? I like this belt very much," he quipped as he picked up one of the three title belts Wladimir had brought with him to the press conference, where he sat beside Vitali.
"Watch yourself now, brother," Wladimir shot back.
Peter declined to attend the post-fight press conference, but his manager Ivaylo Gotzev said the loss put Peter on "the comeback trail."
"We've been here before, and we're going to go back and look at the tape and see what we need to work on," Gotzev said.
In an undercard fight, heavyweight Odlanier Solis improved to 12-0 and grabbed the WBC international heavyweight belt by beating American Chauncy Welliver (34-5-5, 13 KOs) in the ninth round.
Belarussian Alexander Ustinov (13-0, 11 KOs) dealt a heavy-handed knockout to Detroit's Julius Long (15-10, 13 KOs) in the first round of another heavyweight matchup.

(HealthDay News) -- LASIK surgery is performed on the eyes to improve vision, often reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses.
NOTE: LASIK IS LASER EYE SURGERY;
The U.S. National Library of Medicine, in cooperation with the American Academy of Ophthalmology, lists these guidelines for the ideal LASIK candidate:
* Being at least 18 years old. But, in some cases, young children with one very nearsighted eye and one normal eye may benefit from LASIK.
* Women should not be pregnant or nursing.
* Having healthy eyes with vision prescriptions that are relatively stable.
* Candidates should not be taking certain prescription drugs, including Accutane or oral prednisone.
* Being in overall good health, without chronic conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, glaucoma, herpes eye infections, or cataracts.
* Being unsatisfied with wearing glasses or contacts.
* Having realistic expectations of the surgery and results.

Older Australians told to move on
http://topnews.in/ older-australians-told-move-274413
Older Australians told to move on Submitted by Sahil Nagpal on Thu, 10/09/2008 - 03:22. Lifestyle Australia Sydney - Retired couple Lyn Gardiner and Rob Gay are selling their Melbourne home, buying a camper van and joining the tens of thousands of older Australians perpetually on tour in the wide brown land. It's a lifestyle change that warms the heart of sociologist Bruce Bradbury of the University of New South Wales in Sydney. His research shows that lots of pensioners have little money in the bank but are living in houses worth a fortune.
NOTE: BRADBURY IS A RESPECTED SOCIOLOGIST.

Karl Popper once said that science may be described as the art of systematic oversimplification. You come up with a relatively simple way to explain why things are as they are – your hypothesis – and you test your hypothesis with controlled experiments to figure out if you were right, or way off target.

Karl Popper once said that science may be described as the art of systematic oversimplification. You come up with a relatively simple way to explain why things are as they are – your hypothesis – and you test your hypothesis with controlled experiments to figure out if you were right, or way off target.

Laser Eye Surgery
By Claire Sandys
After twenty years of wearing glasses and contact lenses, I've finally taken the plunge and had laser eye surgery. Read my story here.
A few years ago my mother, an ophthalmic sister in a hospital in East Anglia, heard about the increasing use of laser surgery to correct short-sightedness.
Working in the field she kept a close eye on the advancements of this technology with the hope that one day it would be an option for me (I have a mild prescription of -2.75 which is apparently perfect for this sort of surgery).
A slight haemorrhage in Claire's right eye
A small haemorrhage in Claire's eye
Finally the day came when she believed that laser surgery was widely used enough to be safe for her daughter and although the very long-term effects are yet to be known, there's no reason to believe that the sight would change once corrected.
So on Friday 5th October 2007, after booking the surgery and waiting only a few months, I ventured over to Cambridge to have my eyesight made new.
No cutting corners
I chose my surgeon carefully; he was experienced, had being doing this procedure for a long while and specialised in it.
He was more expensive than the average laser specialist on the high street, but when it comes to eyes my mother has always told me that there should be no cutting corners!
I had an initial consultation about 5 weeks ago to make sure I was suitable for the surgery and also to meet the consultant and go over my options (there are a few types of laser surgery).
On the day of the actual procedure you are told that you will need to be at the clinic for around an hour and you also need someone to drive you home afterwards – a job which my husband kindly volunteered to do.
No real worries or nerves
I was seen very quickly at 10am and had no real worries or nerves about the situation at all.
Claire Sandys
Claire in glasses - a thing of the past?
I was told exactly what would happen and then a nurse took me through to the laser room and laid me on a very comfy horizontal chair.
I was having a procedure called LASIK, where a thin flap of corneal tissue is folded away so the laser can do its work underneath.
You are not under a general anaesthetic for this procedure (i.e. asleep!), they just place some local anaesthetic drops in the eye being treated, or in my case, both eyes.
Not a pleasant experience
So as a result I was still able to see for most of the time, except when I lost my vision briefly while they made the incision in the corneal flap.
They covered my eye that wasn't being lasered with a clear eye shield to prevent me from being distracted.
They placed tape over my eyelashes to keep them out of the way and then attached a special clip to keep the eye open – this wasn't a pleasant experience!
Once everything was in place they cut the corneal flap; this is when I lost my vision for a few seconds.
Following this they swung my chair over to the laser machine and I was asked to focus on a red flashing light.
The laser makes a clicking sound as it's doing its stuff and then I was warned that I would smell burnt hair – which I did!
Uncomfortable at times
The actual laser treatment only took about 30 seconds (per eye) and then my corneal flap was put back in place and they repeated everything for my other eye. It was that quick!
The goggles Claire had to wear overnight
The goggles Claire had to wear overnight
NOTE: CLAIR IS A CLIENT OF LASER EYE SURGERY.
There was no pain throughout the surgery but it was very uncomfortable at times and a little scary. However, one of the nurses in the room very kindly held my hand and even as an adult, I was very grateful for this human touch.
Following the surgery I was sent home with three different types of eye drops and a gorgeous (!) pair of bed goggles I needed to stop me rubbing my eyes and disturbing the corneal flap.
If anything is going to stop you rubbing your eyes…these goggles will!
Sensitive to light
I wore sunglasses for the first day and sat in a darkened room as my eyes were very sensitive to light.
The first 7-8 hours after the procedure were the worst as I found it incredibly hard to even open my eyes at times – a bit like looking into an incredibly bright light.
It also stung quite badly to put the drops in for the first day as the corneal flap was healing.
However, I slept for around 4 hours during the afternoon following the surgery and when I woke up they felt much better.
Hazy round the edges
By the next day I could see perfectly but it was a bit hazy around the edges and the clear vision came and went quite a bit.
Eye drops
The 3 lots of eye drops Claire uses
The pain had gone when the drops were used and it was just a nice feeling to keep my eyes moist.
I had to go back the following day to see the surgeon for a check-up and to make sure that all was healing well.
He said all was well apart from a small haemorrhage in my right eye which looks a lot worse than it is. This should clear up in about a week and he said my eyes should be completely normal again in around 2-4 weeks.
Fantastic news
The consultant also did several eye tests and then declared that my vision should be 20/20 once it's all settled down!
It was fantastic news.
I made my appointment to go back and see him again for the final check-up in 3-4 weeks.
I still find that my eyes tire easily and feel dry, but this ease's with sleep/rest and also a little help from the artificial tears eye drops!
The feeling is very much like having my contact lenses in for too long - I can see just fine and my eyes feel dry, and I have to keep reminding myself that I don't have any to take out!
Perfect sight
It's a strange feeling really, not something that sinks in straight away and it was kind of sad to put my glasses in their case and know that I'll never need them again.
They've been a very necessary and welcome part of my life since middle school and so it feels ungrateful to just put them away forever!
Claire Sandys without her glasses
The new look! Claire without glasses.
However, being able to see clearly when I wake up in the morning and to walk in the rain without glasses will soon dissolve those feelings.
Right now the worst part is no make-up for two weeks! But that's a small price to pay for perfect sight.
Research
If I were to give any advice to anyone considering this procedure it would be to make sure you do your research and select someone that does this procedure full time and has experience in the area.
Don't be swayed by the price tag, if this type of surgery went wrong you'd pay a far higher price than anything that money can sort out.

Economic crisis changes tone of race in Sixth District
Marlin Levison, Star Tribune
From left, Bob Anderson, Michele Bachmann and Elwyn Tinklenberg held an election debate on Oct. 1 at Stillwater City Hall.
Wall Street's meltdown and the government's bailout have become key in the three-way battle for the House.

Bachmann has to go...
This is an easy one. If you think the direction our country is heading is the wrong direction, you need to vote for a change. Bachmann … read more has been a whacky pawn for the far right political agenda...and this is an agenda that has not worked. Our economy is in the tank, our status in the world is on the decline, and that's just the start. Moreover, Bachmann is so obsessed with pet social issues like legislating a definition of marriage that she hasn't gained any meaningful status in Congress. We deserve AND we need much, much better...party allegiance alone cannot justify a vote for Bachmann.

Abortion, taxes and transportation have dominated recent campaigns for Congress in the suburbs, small towns and farms north of the Twin Cities.
But the political landscape changed in Minnesota's Sixth District when the financial crisis hit Wall Street and Washington. More than any other congressional race in the state, the showdown in the Sixth is offering voters stark choices on whom to blame for the crisis and what to do about it.
Rep. Michele Bachmann, a Republican, is telling voters that "hyper-regulation" by the federal government created a chain of events that caused bank failures and credit freezes. Bachmann voted against the massive rescue package that cleared Congress last week, slamming it as unfair to taxpayers.
Her Democratic challenger, Elwyn Tinklenberg, tells voters that lack of government regulation encouraged bankers to make reckless bets that brought on the crisis. He favored the bailout as a way to avert a more serious slowdown in middle America.
As the financial squeeze makes itself felt on Main Street, the candidates' contrasting positions on the bailout could determine the outcome of the race.
"People are very responsive to what the headlines are about," said Steven Smith, a professor of political science and expert on Congress at Washington University in St. Louis.
NOTE: STEVEN SMITH IS A WELL RESPECTED PERSONALITY IN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST.LOUIS.
The Sixth sprawls across Washington, Anoka, Wright, Benton, Sherburne and Stearns counties. It has been reliably Republican in recent years but is expected to be competitive for Democrats in a year when Republicans around the nation are struggling.
Bachmann, who won the seat in 2006, had a voting record more conservative on economic, social and foreign policy issues than 89 percent of her colleagues last year, according to the National Journal's ideological scorecard of congressional members. She gets more money from abortion-opposition and gun-rights groups than all but nine other members of the House.
Democrats argue that Bachmann is too conservative even for this conservative district. That line didn't work in 2006 for Democrat Patty Wetterling, a child-welfare advocate whom Republicans labeled too liberal.
But Tinklenberg calls himself a moderate Democrat and touts endorsements from police and fire groups and good grades from the National Rifle Association, which nonetheless endorsed Bachmann. He considers himself a Blue Dog Democrat, a group of fiscally conservative Democrats in Congress that has endorsed him.
Another candidate, Bob Anderson of the Independence Party, entered the race to bring mental health insurance on par with other health coverage. Because the rescue bill includes such a provision, he is now focusing on prohibiting insurance companies from denying coverage for applicants with pre-existing conditions. He also stands apart from the others by his refusal to accept campaign contributions and his attack on Congress as a tool of special interests.
Still, the Independence Party endorsed Tinklenberg in the district, which voted heavily for Jesse Ventura when he ran under the party's banner for governor in 1998. Tinklenberg reminds people that he promoted the Hiawatha light-rail line and the future North Star commuter line while he was Ventura's transportation commissioner.
Transportation and oil
Transportation issues still loom large in the district, where traffic snarls and long commutes are common.
"If I had something to do downtown, I'd take the line," Patti Trott said of the North Star rail line after talking with Tinklenberg in a restaurant in Elk River, which will have a commuter station. But her husband, Karl, wanted more money spent on roads, explaining, "our priorities are out of whack."
While Bachmann has denounced the use of federal earmarks for funding local projects, Elk River city administrator Lori Johnson told her during a recent visit that the city needs all the help it can get to fix roads to ease congestion.
"We don't want to be left behind if there are earmarks, and that's the way the game is played," Johnson said.
As gasoline prices spiked this summer, both Bachmann and Tinklenberg advocated more off-shore drilling and alternative sources of energy. But they differ sharply on emphasis.
Bachmann stresses lifting federal restrictions on oil drilling. "We sit on the answer to our own problem," she said at a recent debate. "We have more oil in the United States than all of Saudi Arabia, and that's just in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming in the form of shale oil."
Tinklenberg replied, "We need to be exploring more domestically ... but we also need to move aggressively in both the areas of conservation and the areas of alternatives."
He favors increasing automobile fuel efficiency standards, while Bachmann voted last year against a measure that raised them.
NOTE: BACHMANN WON THE SEAT HOUSE LAST 2006.
On another key issue, health care, Bachmann wants to make insurance premiums and other medical expenses tax-deductible for individuals to make it easier for consumers to buy health insurance. Tinklenberg favors offering the option of government-sponsored health insurance as a competitively priced alternative to private insurance plans to achieve universal health coverage.
During her freshman term, Bachmann sometimes made news with remarks that raised eyebrows.
This summer she said expanded oil drilling and other measures would bring "immediate and lasting relief" and cut gas prices to $2 a gallon. The U.S. Energy Information Administration said it's unlikely those steps would significantly reduce gas prices any time soon.
Shortly after taking office in 2007, Bachmann told the St. Cloud Times that Iran planned to partition Iraq and turn part of it into a terrorist training ground. Her office later said her remarks were "misconstrued."
"The only reason this district would ever be in play is Michele Bachmann herself," said David Wasserman, the editor in charge of assessing House races for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report in Washington. "She's a lightning rod in Minnesota politics. To the extent that Elwyn Tinklenberg is competitive, he's attracting some moderate Republican votes that's necessary to win this district."
Through mid-August Bachmann had $1.4 million in campaign contributions on hand. Tinklenberg had $200,000. Wetterling had four times as much cash at this point in her losing 2006 race.
Unless the party, union allies or others pump money into the race in the final weeks, Tinklenberg won't be able to afford many, if any, TV ads to counter a likely Bachmann ad blitz. She also has frequently appeared on "Larry King Live" to discuss national issues such as drilling or the financial rescue package.
About the bailout
Bachmann says the $700 billion bailout was unnecessary. She blames federal regulations for making it easier for people to obtain loans they couldn't repay, and she says the crisis could be overcome in part by changing accounting rules.
Tinklenberg labels her remedy "pretend accounting" and defends the package as needed to prevent credit from drying up in communities throughout the nation. He said significant oversight and curbs on executive compensation made the final package more palatable than its earlier version.
In talking with voters, he has been pointing out that Bachmann sits on the House Financial Services Committee that oversees the financial industry. She received more contributions from finance, insurance and real estate interests than any Congress member from Minnesota.
Wasserman said Bachmann needed "to be careful to ... avoid being seen as too corporate."
Smith said Bachmann's no vote on the bailout can be easily justified to constituents.
"The conservatives don't like big government and the liberals don't like bailing out fat cats," he said. "People in the middle just don't like the idea of giving away money."
But Tinklenberg can use his support of the package to define himself.
"There are signs that working-class individuals are finding their credit options disappearing," Smith said. "He's trying to show that he's a middle of the road politician who takes a pragmatic view of the problems facing the country."

BUCKLAW - WE MEET AGAIN YOU POLITICAL HACK
So you haven't woke up yet? As I was writing my last rant - I noticed an ad running on the right side of the web page for an upcoming movie - something called "Mikey and Mylie make a porno movie" You see BUCKLAW we're all in this giant pot of water and you and I are frogs. (Can you picture that - are you with me?) and you know what happens next? Yes - the heat has been turned on under the pot and I have already jumped out of that pot. You BUCKLAW have decided to stay in the pot and continue towards your union with Winston Smith. I ask you: which flavor of Koolaid do you prefer to drink when your party boss passes the party favors? Lemon Lime perhaps? Grape? or maybe my favorite: Pickle Chocolate cherry.

Good God
Why are Republicans like paulsworkshop so rabid? Talk about fanatical. Blown up any abortion clinics lately? Paul go back to the workshop and close the door and stay there please. You're an embarassment even to the right. You seem fond of koolaid and pin the tail on the donkey, perhaps you just need some tail. Sleep tight knowing the Democrats will be in complete control of the House of Representatives, the Senate and we'll have a Democrat President. Good times are a coming and Palin will be back in Alaska "shootin" moose in a matter of weeks. Night night!

Michele Bachmann
I really cannot believe that anyone will vote for Mrs. Bachmann. While I have no doubt that she is a nice woman, she is an embarassment in the house. Her legislation (freedom to choose lightbulbs?), her behavior(the President is not a rockstar) and her take on the economy (too much regulation?) all add up to Mrs. Bachmann being a horrible representative. Unfortunately, my district is a yellow dog republican district and it is too late to get a yellow dog on the ballot......... Please vote for Tinklenburg!!

You jumped from the pot and into the fire before you could make your point, Paul...
And that is the problem with the conservative side of political debate this election. Please tell us WHY we should put up with another four years of mismanagement and policies that have lead this country on a decline. What is it about an opportunity for correcting our direction as a country that has the right so angry? All people need to do is be semi-conscious and they'll see that things are not going well for Americans today. Can anybody disagree with that? Would you keep promoting the same ideas and strategies that have lead to where we are today if we wanted to change it for something better tomorrow?

Most absurd comment of the night
Michelle Bachmann should be our next president? Oh my, oh my, oh my. That is a scary thought. Right up there with the terror of Sarah Palin possibly stepping into that spot. @@ I'm not sure what Svengali-like attraction this nutcase holds for her followers, but for the rest of us she is a true humiliation. Bachmann does have a national reputation. I have friends all over the country who look up her comments online just for laughs, sort of like they'd read a comic book. To paraphrase an ad regarding another Republican that I hear people quote everywhere I go these days, Michelle's gotta go.

Economic crisis changes tone of race in Sixth District
Marlin Levison, Star Tribune
From left, Bob Anderson, Michele Bachmann and Elwyn Tinklenberg held an election debate on Oct. 1 at Stillwater City Hall.
Wall Street's meltdown and the government's bailout have become key in the three-way battle for the House.

Bachmann has to go...
This is an easy one. If you think the direction our country is heading is the wrong direction, you need to vote for a change. Bachmann … read more has been a whacky pawn for the far right political agenda...and this is an agenda that has not worked. Our economy is in the tank, our status in the world is on the decline, and that's just the start. Moreover, Bachmann is so obsessed with pet social issues like legislating a definition of marriage that she hasn't gained any meaningful status in Congress. We deserve AND we need much, much better...party allegiance alone cannot justify a vote for Bachmann.

Abortion, taxes and transportation have dominated recent campaigns for Congress in the suburbs, small towns and farms north of the Twin Cities.
But the political landscape changed in Minnesota's Sixth District when the financial crisis hit Wall Street and Washington. More than any other congressional race in the state, the showdown in the Sixth is offering voters stark choices on whom to blame for the crisis and what to do about it.
Rep. Michele Bachmann, a Republican, is telling voters that "hyper-regulation" by the federal government created a chain of events that caused bank failures and credit freezes. Bachmann voted against the massive rescue package that cleared Congress last week, slamming it as unfair to taxpayers.
Her Democratic challenger, Elwyn Tinklenberg, tells voters that lack of government regulation encouraged bankers to make reckless bets that brought on the crisis. He favored the bailout as a way to avert a more serious slowdown in middle America.
As the financial squeeze makes itself felt on Main Street, the candidates' contrasting positions on the bailout could determine the outcome of the race.
"People are very responsive to what the headlines are about," said Steven Smith, a professor of political science and expert on Congress at Washington University in St. Louis.
NOTE: STEVEN SMITH IS A WELL RESPECTED PERSONALITY IN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST.LOUIS.
The Sixth sprawls across Washington, Anoka, Wright, Benton, Sherburne and Stearns counties. It has been reliably Republican in recent years but is expected to be competitive for Democrats in a year when Republicans around the nation are struggling.
Bachmann, who won the seat in 2006, had a voting record more conservative on economic, social and foreign policy issues than 89 percent of her colleagues last year, according to the National Journal's ideological scorecard of congressional members. She gets more money from abortion-opposition and gun-rights groups than all but nine other members of the House.
Democrats argue that Bachmann is too conservative even for this conservative district. That line didn't work in 2006 for Democrat Patty Wetterling, a child-welfare advocate whom Republicans labeled too liberal.
But Tinklenberg calls himself a moderate Democrat and touts endorsements from police and fire groups and good grades from the National Rifle Association, which nonetheless endorsed Bachmann. He considers himself a Blue Dog Democrat, a group of fiscally conservative Democrats in Congress that has endorsed him.
Another candidate, Bob Anderson of the Independence Party, entered the race to bring mental health insurance on par with other health coverage. Because the rescue bill includes such a provision, he is now focusing on prohibiting insurance companies from denying coverage for applicants with pre-existing conditions. He also stands apart from the others by his refusal to accept campaign contributions and his attack on Congress as a tool of special interests.
Still, the Independence Party endorsed Tinklenberg in the district, which voted heavily for Jesse Ventura when he ran under the party's banner for governor in 1998. Tinklenberg reminds people that he promoted the Hiawatha light-rail line and the future North Star commuter line while he was Ventura's transportation commissioner.
Transportation and oil
Transportation issues still loom large in the district, where traffic snarls and long commutes are common.
"If I had something to do downtown, I'd take the line," Patti Trott said of the North Star rail line after talking with Tinklenberg in a restaurant in Elk River, which will have a commuter station. But her husband, Karl, wanted more money spent on roads, explaining, "our priorities are out of whack."
While Bachmann has denounced the use of federal earmarks for funding local projects, Elk River city administrator Lori Johnson told her during a recent visit that the city needs all the help it can get to fix roads to ease congestion.
"We don't want to be left behind if there are earmarks, and that's the way the game is played," Johnson said.
As gasoline prices spiked this summer, both Bachmann and Tinklenberg advocated more off-shore drilling and alternative sources of energy. But they differ sharply on emphasis.
Bachmann stresses lifting federal restrictions on oil drilling. "We sit on the answer to our own problem," she said at a recent debate. "We have more oil in the United States than all of Saudi Arabia, and that's just in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming in the form of shale oil."
Tinklenberg replied, "We need to be exploring more domestically ... but we also need to move aggressively in both the areas of conservation and the areas of alternatives."
He favors increasing automobile fuel efficiency standards, while Bachmann voted last year against a measure that raised them.
NOTE: BACHMANN WON THE SEAT HOUSE LAST 2006.
On another key issue, health care, Bachmann wants to make insurance premiums and other medical expenses tax-deductible for individuals to make it easier for consumers to buy health insurance. Tinklenberg favors offering the option of government-sponsored health insurance as a competitively priced alternative to private insurance plans to achieve universal health coverage.
During her freshman term, Bachmann sometimes made news with remarks that raised eyebrows.
This summer she said expanded oil drilling and other measures would bring "immediate and lasting relief" and cut gas prices to $2 a gallon. The U.S. Energy Information Administration said it's unlikely those steps would significantly reduce gas prices any time soon.
Shortly after taking office in 2007, Bachmann told the St. Cloud Times that Iran planned to partition Iraq and turn part of it into a terrorist training ground. Her office later said her remarks were "misconstrued."

She also has frequently appeared on "Larry King Live" to discuss national issues such as drilling or the financial rescue package.

"The conservatives don't like big government and the liberals don't like bailing out fat cats," he said. "People in the middle just don't like the idea of giving away money."
But Tinklenberg can use his support of the package to define himself.
"There are signs that working-class individuals are finding their credit options disappearing," Smith said. "He's trying to show that he's a middle of the road politician who takes a pragmatic view of the problems facing the country."

CANCER VICTIMS DISCRIMINATION CLAIM
The Press Association

Cancer victims discrimination claim
22 hours ago
Breast cancer patients are being unfairly discriminated against when they travel abroad, it has been revealed.
NOTE: CANCER HAS BEEN A COMMON DISEASE IN THE PRESENT GENERATION.
Some sufferers could be paying up to 200% more in insurance premiums than others in the same condition, according to research by travel insurance company AllClear.
"The premiums paid by breast cancer patients in the travel insurance market generally cannot be justified when compared to the actual claims that are made, and the risk being underwritten by the insurer," said Nikki Hunt, of AllClear.
She added that breast cancer patients received far poorer insurance deals than, say, travellers who suffered from a respiratory condition.
She said that, while much attention had focused on cancer patients compared with those travellers in good health, "no-one has actually looked at the anomalies within the quotation systems of many companies claiming to specialise in pre-existing medical insurance".
Ms Hunt went on: "Suffering from breast cancer should not be a barrier to travel, neither should sufferers be paying over the odds.
"What is particularly unfair is that cancer appears to be being singled out as warranting a much higher premium than other less-threatening conditions, even though breast cancer costs the insurance industry considerably less in terms of claims."

What You Didn't Hear During the Presidential Debate [Personal Finance]
http://lifehacker.com/ 5060553/ what-you-didnt-hear-during-the-presidential-debate
What You Didn't Hear During the Presidential Debate Personal finance blogger Ramit Sethi theorizes that there were a whole lot of things the Presidential candidates didn't (and couldn't) say about your money during the debate last night. For example: Not all homeowners deserve to stay in their houses. Renting is a perfectly reasonable alternative, but the idea of Americans "losing their houses" is politically untenable. Why? Because America perpetuates a mistaken culture of homeownership. Owning your own home is the kind of BS sacred cow that got us into this mess: Our parents tell us to buy a house.

The Home Ownership Obsession

The Home Ownership Obsession Personal Finance blogger Ramit Sethi lays it out in "The Truth: What Obama and McCain won't tell you about your money": Not all homeowners deserve to stay in their houses. Renting is a perfectly reasonable alternative, but the idea of Americans "losing their houses" is politically untenable. Why? Because America perpetuates a mistaken culture of homeownership. Owning your own home is the kind of BS sacred cow that got us into this mess: Our parents tell us to buy a house. Our friends are impressed if we own a house in our twenties. The government literally encourages us to own a house by offering tax deductions. Homeownership is the American Dream! The truth is, if you're making the largest purchase of your life, you need more than a slogan -- you need to take the responsibility to do some research. (And note that you can't advocate for increased homeownership and also argue for Americans to keep their houses. By not reducing the prices, younger people cannot buy houses at these inflated prices.) I love this guy. Here's more: Yes, there was an exceptional amount of predatory lending. For every blogger who argues loudly about personal responsibility, an angel dies and an Ogilvy executive lights a marshmallow in hell and eats a delicious snack. Wall Street and realtors are also to blame for this. But so are average Americans. It's difficult to have a nuanced discussion about real estate on the campaign trail, so we resort to cartoonishly simplistic caricatures of things like Wall Street's corruption. True -- but also take a look in the mirror. Even more: Americans don't know how to be frugal -- yet Things will get more expensive. Taxes will eventually go up. They have to. Costs of ordinary goods will go up. They always do. If you're expecting it to get easier, you're wrong. The key is to make more money and cut your costs. Sadly, Americans are poorly versed in being frugal. You think it makes sense to buy a new car every few years? You think it's normal to eat out 5 times per

Are You Stressed About Your Personal Finances And The Economy?
http://60646blog.com/2008/10/08/are-you-stressed-about-your-...
1 hour ago in 60646 Blog - Suburban Living In Chicago · Authority: 3
NOTE: OBAMA AND MCCAIN ARE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
This week, CNN reported that 80% of Americans are stressed about their personal finances and the economy, according to the annual survey conducted by the American Psychological Association. And, the most recent series of televised presidential and vice-presidential debates may or may not have made you feel better about the outlook for the housing market, the economy in general, or your personal finances. Here now comes Ramit Sethi, a recent technology and psychology graduate from Stanford University who offers some straight talk about your money. Ramit's blog is called www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com, which sounds a bit like a get-rich-quick type of scheme to me, but Ramit is quick to point out that "No, it's not a scam, I'm featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, NPR and CNBC". Well, alright then, I'm sold. Moving right along, Ramit offers some "politically incorrect" (his words) thoughts on "The Truth: What Obama and McCain won't tell you about your money". I'm not sure, but after reading Ramit's article, that 80% figure cited by the American Psychological Association might inch closer to 95% territory. Don't take my word for it though, head on over to Ramit's post, and decide for yourself, whether or not his observations hit the nail right on the head.
