Just a quick thing I wanted to point out about NC early voting, one of few states that breaks it out by age: 2008: 18-29 14.9% 30-44 23.5% 45-64 40.2% 65+ 21.4% 2012: 18-29 10.8% (DOWN by 4.1%) 30-44 18.3% (DOWN by 5.2%) 45-59 29.1% (DOWN by 11.1%) 60+ 41.7% (UP by 20.3%) Older voters favor Romney...and are showing up in WAY higher numbers for early voting compared to 2008 early voting...while young voters who favor Obama are down to only 10% of early votes (from nearly 15% in 2008).

The generators emit a soundwave between three and 30 megahertz and Stevens claims the Russians invented the storm-creating technology back in 1976 and sold it to others in the late 1980s.

Et tu, Brute? Julius Caesar was rather less surprised to find his great friend plunging a knife into his body than has always been assumed, according to experts who subjected history's most notorious political assassination to a modern police investigation.A team of forensic pathologists, psychiatrists and profilers, whose analysis of the 2,000-year-old killing is revealed in a television documentary tonight, have challenged the traditional belief that Caesar was unaware of the plot by senators to kill him. They have argued that, in fact, he engineered and welcomed his death.The investigation was led by Col Luciano Garafano, commander of the Italian...
