| Poll shows Labour still Rock with voters after bank panic
The same poll showed Tory leader David Cameron had become Britain's least popular party leader, with an approval rating below that of both Gordon Brown and the Liberal Democrats' Sir Ming Campbell. And another poll found public trust in the Government hardly shaken by the Northern Rock panic. In that Populus survey, 56 per cent of people said they trusted Gordon Brown and Chancellor Alistair Darling, down just five points since earlier this month, while only 18 per cent trusted David Cameron and Shadow Chancellor George Osborne, down nine points. And most voters blamed the Northern Rock crisis either on financial problems in the American mortgage market, or the bank's own management, rather than the Government. The findings of both polls are a boost for Mr Brown. The ICM poll for The Guardian gave Labour an eight point lead over the Tories - 40 per cent to 32 - with the Lib Dems on 20 per cent.
Rallies could make the difference in a close race
Barack Obama's or Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign, putting South Texas and the Hispanic vote squarely in the spotlight. The candidates and their high-profile supporters have been criss-crossing the Rio Grande Valley as well. But how well do these whistlestops translate to votes? How much does an undecided voter really learn about the candidates? Corpus Christi resident Annika Gunning, 24, decided she wouldn't learn much, so she didn't go to either candidate's rally (though she watched Obama's on television). "I feel like I need to research what they're all about," said Gunning, who works at the consulting firm Olivarri & Associates. "I don't know how much you learn at a rally except to cheer them on." Charlton McIlwain, a political communication specialist at New York University, agreed that issues aren't the most important part of the campaign stops.
Philips' brings travel expenses down to earth
Dutch electronics giant Royal Philips Electronics has streamlined its travel and entertainment programme through strategic alliances with SkyTeam and American Express. In 2005, the manufacturer chose to rationalise its supplier base, buying services on a global basis. As part of that strategy, it signed a deal to take travel services through SkyTeam, a global airline alliance of nine members - Aeromexico, Air France, Alitalia, Continental Airlines, CSA Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Korean Air and Northwest Airlines - covering travel in over 30 countries. To keep track of expenses, it opted for the travel and entertainment programme offered by American Express. You what? Bust through tech jargon with silicon.com's Cheat Sheets. The Amex service benchmarks each of Philips' negotiations with SkyTeam against a list of other transactions by companies of a similar size and business, made up from its own customer list.
Radio Talk
Carias went ahead and filed the criminal charge in Fulton County Magistrate Court against me and then filed civil complaints in Superior Court of Fulton County, GA against the company for 'negligent hiring' and harassment and invasion of privacy." He said he was willing to agree in writing never to talk on air about Yogi and Panda ever again "for the sake of company harmony." He said he had no real problem with them, that "they serve their audience well and deliver good ratings numbers and revenue." In the end, Wachs said, "A case of a humorous prank has turned into a culture clash, a suppression of 1st Amendment rights, and a ridiculous smear campaign against me as well as termination of my income without due process."

Military Recruiting: Fool WaPo Twice, Shame on Them
And you lose your bet in Nevada, he got 14% there. Louisiana's pure as the driven snow process is still going on, but we're doing pretty well there, too, despite last minute panic by the fans of obese government who don't want to admit their socialist fandom. So far you're battin' 0 for 2, dude. JMR Rally online with fans of Dr. Ron Paul. (All purpose anti-slander-link, sadly-needed these days...) .
Meningitis (cerebrospinal meningitis)
Although most people recover from the disease, some are left deaf or blind, and in others it may prove fatal. One of the biggest problems with meningitis is that it can develop very quickly. A child (or adult) can seem perfectly well and then, just a few hours later, be extremely ill with the disease. Another problem is that the symptoms can be difficult to distinguish from other, less serious infections. What are the symptoms of meningitis? It is important to know that not everyone will develop the symptoms below and that they can appear in any order. If someone gets some of the symptoms listed below you should seek medical help immediately because the disease can become extremely serious in just a few hours. If you cannot get in touch with your doctor, or are still worried after getting advice, trust your instincts and take your child to the emergency department of your nearest hospital.
