2011 most overused buzzwords- Are you highly motivated? A creative, innovative thinker with a successful track record in effective problem solving? What about your organizational and communication skills? Do you have extensive experience maneuvering a dynamic workplace? If any of this sounds familiar, then you've probably used one of the top 10 overused professional buzzwords in the United States in 2011, according to career-networking site LinkedIn.
The site culled its top 10 list from 135 million member profiles worldwide, finding that "creative" was the most overused word globally and in the United States. After that, the list goes:
Bus driver outs Santa?- The school is currently investigating First Student, the contracted bus company. A spokeswoman for the company reported Monday that the accused bus driver “has been moved to a new bus route.” Louis Seeley, the father of an 8-year-old third-grade girl, contacted Columbus Magnet School officials after his daughter told him the driver expressed certain opinions about Santa Claus earlier this month. The driver told the girl “he believes he should not lie to his kids about who puts the presents under the tree,” Seeley said. “He also said that he doesn’t believe that Jesus was born on Dec. 25.”
Seeley’s daughter approached Seeley a few days later with questions about Santa, he said.
“The next morning, my wife went out to the bus driver and told him not to speak to kids about Christmas,” Seeley said. “He said ‘OK.’”
But Jen Biddinger of First Student defended the driver, saying “We have no reason to believe that conversation took place as initially reported.” Biddinger said the student had overheard a conversation between the driver and another student. She wouldn’t identify the driver, calling it a personnel matter. “Obviously, we take all incidents very seriously,” she said. The bus company spoke with the driver and with the board of education, she said.
“The driver indicated that he was having a conversation with another student regarding his focus on other elements, other than gift-giving,” during the holidays, Biddinger said. “He was saying ‘It’s much more than gift-giving.’” She added that the driver, who has been working for First Student since 2007, never had a complaint filed against him before this incident. In fact, parents have started calling the bus company to complain about the fact he was moved, she said. Seeley said his concern is not so much about the Santa question but about the accountability of the driver, who he said shouldn’t be speaking with children at all. He said school officials were slow to respond to his concerns.
Women forged check for shopping spree- Women accused of forging check for private jet, N.Y. shopping spree,They may have wanted Breakfast at Tiffany's, but Orange County prosecutors say a Garden Grove paralegal and Cypress elementary school teacher are in big trouble after a spending spree in New York City. Orange County prosecutors have charged Alexa Johzen Polar, 34, and Robin Antonella Pabello, 33, both of Garden Grove, with multiple felonies after they allegedly used a forged $285,000 check from a law firm to charter a private jet. They purchased five hotel rooms and went on shopping forays at Tiffany, authorities said.
The roommates also used fraudulently obtained cashiers checks in the amounts of $100,000 and $33,000 to put a deposit on an 11,000-square-foot house in Murrieta worth about $3.7 million.
Cypress Police Det. Greg Faessel said investigators believe the women wanted to rent the Murrieta mansion during the escrow process and "live like kings during the holidays."
"These women were already deep in debt and wanted to enjoy life without any cares for a while," Faessel said.
Both women, who are expected to plead not guilty when arraigned Monday afternoon in Westminster, face two felony counts of forgery, one felony count of grand theft and one felony count of grand theft by embezzlement.
If convicted, they each face a maximum sentence of six years and four months in state prison. Prosecutors will ask that the roommates each be held on $285,000 bail and prove that the money came from a legal source if they post bond. According to prosecutors, Polar worked as a paralegal for a Newport Beach law firm and lived with Pabello, a second-grade teacher at St. Irenaeus Parish School.
The school's website says she has been a teacher there since 2004.
"I'm not just a teacher here at St. I's but a student as well," she states on the website. "A student of life lessons and the daily lessons that God sends to me. Those lessons that I learn I pass to my students in hopes that they continue passing it on to others."
The defendants are accused of, sometime between Sept. 21 and Nov. 16, stealing a check for more than $19,500 made out to a law firm where Polar worked and then "removing the payee's name and the amount of the check and re-marking the check with Pabello's name," prosecutors said in a statement. The amount of the check was then changed to $285,000.
Faessel said the two deposited the fraudulent check Nov. 16 via ATM into a joint bank account, then spent $30,000 to charter a private jet for a one-way flight with several friends to New York City.
Once there, they allegedly rented five rooms at a Marriott hotel overlooking Times Square and bought unspecified items from Tiffany and Montblanc that investigators believe were intended as holiday gifts for friends. women check spree, women forge $285,000,
The Cypress Police Department began investigating after the bank that issued the original check rejected it and informed the bank that held the women's joint account. Their account was frozen during the time the women were in New York, so they had to fly coach back to Los Angeles, Faessel said.
Elizabeth Taylor's jewels at auction. Jewels, gowns and paintings that added color to Elizabeth Taylor’s life are already, six months after her death, traveling the world en route to new owners. Christie’s is taking the material to eight cities in seven countries for sales previews or "exhibitions" before putting it up for auction. This weekend is the London showing. Much of the material then travels to Los Angeles for a preview at MOCA’s Pacific Design Center branch from Oct. 13 to 16. Tickets for the L.A. event went on sale Thursday at christies.com. Five thousand tickets are available at $20 each; 850 sold within the first two hours, according to a Christie's spokesperson. The jewelry for sale includes Taylor's much-photographed 33-carat rectangular-cut diamond, a gift from two-time-husband Richard Burton, now estimated at $2.5 million to $3.5 million. Art highlights include major paintings by Degas, Pissarro and Van Gogh (on view in London but not L.A.) as well as works on paper that the actress received from artist-admirers like Andy Warhol (on view in L.A.).
The profits from the preview at MOCA’s Pacific Design Center will be split between the museum and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation; a minimum contribution of $100,000 will go to the museum. Marc Porter, chairman of Christie’s Americas, says that he approached MOCA. "We considered hotels, theaters and other sorts of venues before deciding this one was perfect," he says, citing its location, size, the availability of parking and security as leading concerns.
MOCA director Jeffrey Deitch says the event was good timing as MOCA happened to be in between shows at the Pacific Design Center space, and the preview fit one of the museum’s goals. “The larger community is not aware we have a gallery there, so using this partnership is a way for us to get tremendous attention for that location,” he says.
Asked about the appropriateness of a museum giving over its space to a commercial enterprise, Deitch offered examples of other museums renting out spaces, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art offering its Temple of Dendur hall for corporate events to the Brooklyn Museum of Art renting out its atrium for parties. “Rental agreements are routine,” he says, “and this one provides more benefits to the public and to MOCA.”
A preview of the Taylor estate has already taken place in Moscow. Future stops on the tour include the Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai, the Four Seasons Hotel in Geneva, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center in Wanchai, and Christie’s salesrooms in Paris and New York.
Apples fall from sky, Apples Fall From The Sky: Fruity Shower Leaves Coventry Confused,Residents of Coventry have been left scratching their heads in bemusement after a shower of apples fell from the sky. The hail of fruit came on Monday night and saw startled motorists braking sharply as the apples rained down into their paths and onto their bonnets.
More than 100 apples poured down over a main road in Keresley, in a downpour, believed to have been caused by a vortex created by the freak weather conditions. Retired fork lift truck driver Dave Meakins initially thought children had thrown the apples as a prank.
He told the Daily Mail: “I assumed kids must have thrown them because we do get the occasional egg and apple thrown but there’s way too much for that. "I honestly don’t know where the apples could have come from.”
One motorist told the Telegraph: “The apples fell out of the sky as if out of nowhere. They were small and green and hit the bonnet hard. “There were other cars on the road at the time too and everyone had to stop their cars suddenly.” According to the Met Office, it’s possible the apples were scooped up by a tornado.
Jim Dale, senior meteorologist from British Weather Services, said: “We’ve all heard of the fish and frogs falling from the sky and apples is certainly unusual because they have some weight to them but it is not out of the realms of possibility."
Kim K. buys Taylor jewels- Kim Kardashian, in the midst of getting a divorce from former NBA player Kris Humphries, took time out to bid on the late Elizabeth Taylor’s jewelry collection. Kardashian reportedly bought three jade and diamond bracelets for $65,000. Kim Kardashian paid $65,000 to buy three bracelets that belonged to Elizabeth Taylor. Taylor's collection of rare and expensive pieces of jewelry was auctioned off on Wednesday in New York City.
According to a report from TMZ, Kim outbid several jewelry enthusiasts in order the win the bracelets, which are made of diamonds and jade.
Elizabeth Taylor and the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star appeared together in a magazine article shortly before Taylor's death. Kardashian idolized the Hollywood star and wanted to be sure to have a piece or two or her infamous history.
Kim Kardashian doesn't actually have Elizabeth Taylor's bracelets yet. Once the paid auction items are processed through the auction house, she will take receipt of them--quite likely within the next few days.
Some people believe that jade harnesses energy and that's yet another reason for Kim Kardashian bidding on Elizabeth Taylor's bracelets. She could use a bit of positive energy, in light of her present scandal involving her marriage of 72 days to Kris Humphries.
Dropping $65,000 on three bracelets is more proof positive that Kim Kardashian doesn't understand how someone like Kris Humphries lives. Not raised with that kind of cash on hand, his upbringing was far more humble than Kim's. The couple's lavish wedding must have felt almost obscene to someone like Kris.
Hopefully Kim K gets lots of pleasure from the bracelets she bought from Liz Taylor's estate. Since announcing her plans to divorce Kris Humphries, it doesn't appear as though Kim has enjoyed much of anything.
Miley Cyrus denies implants- Singer and actress Miley Cyrus, 19, took to Twitter to blast rumors that she’s had a boob job. The buzz started after Cyrus appeared on the red carpet, along with her boyfriend wearing a very low-cut gown. Those who saw her in the dress said the star most likely had implants. 19-year-old Miley Cyrus showed up on the red carpet recently in your standard plunging, form-fitting, breast-parting gown. This has caused some people to speculate that she got breast implants, namely the tasteful decency-lovers at Star, who assembled a panel of fame-seeking plastic surgeons to say things like:
Cyrus does indeed appear to have had a breast augmentation,” noting her breasts are fuller and show more cleavage than before. The outline of the implants are clearly visible in the inner lower portions of her breasts. Even a large weight gain would not produce breast enhancement to this degree without implants!”
Today, Cyrus took to Twitter to deny the rumor: ”Thank you for the compliment but these babies are all mine. I wish they’d realize you don’t have to be fake to be beautiful!” and in a later tweet, “And I’m 19!!! BOOBS GROW PEOPLE!”
While Cyrus is correct in her assertion that BOOBS GROW PEOPLE!, we’re mostly just put off by the idea of a bunch of people sitting around speculating about a teenager’s breasts.
Baby Seal Home Couch- Woman finds baby seal on couch,A New Zealand woman got quite the surprise when she found a baby seal napping on her couch. The pup apparently made its way into the home after traveling from the waterfront, through a residential area and across a busy road. A seal pup had wandered from his nearby waterfront home, through the residential area where Annette Swoffer lives, and finally wriggled though the cat door at her house, the New Zealand Herald reported.
“I thought the cats brought a rabbit or something in, so I went down and had a look – and there’s a seal in my kitchen,” she said.
“I was standing there thinking, ‘this is really strange.’”
After calling a neighbor over to verify what she was seeing was true, Swoffer called the SPCA.
“They were giggling away and I’m saying, ‘I’m not drunk, I’m not lying,’ there’s a seal in my house,” she told the New Zealand Herald.
Meanwhile, the seal, undisturbed, waddled right past Swoffer into her living room and plopped down on the couch.
“Then it looks at me with those huge brown eyes,” she said to the New Zealand Herald. “It was so cute, but I didn’t touch it because you don’t with wild animals.”
The SPCA called the Department of Conservation, which was already on the hunt for the missing seal, who had been spotted traipsing in someone else’s garden earlier in the afternoon.

Is that a joke? What am I, a Kardashian?"

Penn State scandal
Born January 26, 1944, is a retired American football coach. Sandusky served as an assistant coach for his entire career, mostly at Pennsylvania State University under Joe Paterno, and was one of the most notable major college football coaches never to have held a head coaching position. He received Assistant Coach of the Year awards in 1986 and 1999. In November 2011, he was arrested and charged with 40 counts of sexual abuse of young boys over a 15-year period. Penn State sex abuse scandal refers to allegations that former Pennsylvania State University football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky sexually assaulted or had inappropriate contact with at least eight underage boys on or near university property. After an extensive grand jury investigation, Sandusky was indicted on 40 counts of child molestation dating from 1994 to 2009, though the abuse may date as far back as the 1970s. Per the findings of the investigation, several high-level school officials were charged with perjury and were suspended or dismissed for allegedly covering up the incidents or failing to notify authorities. In the wake of the scandal, head football coach Joe Paterno was dismissed from his position and school president Graham Spanier was forced to resign. Sandusky has denied the allegations. Sandusky was an assistant coach under head coach Joe Paterno for the Penn State football team for 31 seasons from 1969 to 1999. For the last 23 of those years, he was the team's defensive coordinator. In 1977, Sandusky founded The Second Mile, a charity formed to help troubled young boys, in State College, Pennsylvania. In 1998, he was investigated for sexual abuse of a child by the University Police, State College Police, Centre County District Attorney, Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, and a "child protection agency," but no charges were filed. In 1999, Sandusky retired from his position as Penn State's defensive coordinator, but he remained as a coach emeritus with an office in, and access to, Penn State's football facilities.
Judge beating daughter video
A 23-year-old Texas woman posted a YouTube video of her father, a family law judge, using a belt to discipline her when she was 16. A Texas judge seen on an Internet video beating his teenage daughter with a belt has been suspended from the bench while state officials investigate his actions and determine if he should face punishment. The Texas Supreme Court, in an order posted on its website Wednesday, said William Adams, a county court judge in Aransas County on the Texas Gulf coast, “voluntarily agrees to a temporary suspension from office, with pay.” But the order goes on to say that Adams “does not admit guilt, fault, or wrongdoing” for his actions seen in the video. His daughter Hillary Adams said the video was secretly recorded in her bedroom in Rockport, Texas, in 2004, when the judge and his now ex-wife took turns yelling and cursing at her for downloading music from an illegal web site. The video has been viewed by more than six million people since Hillary released it to a YouTube site on Nov 2. In the video, Adams is seen repeatedly lashing Hillary, who was 16, yelling and cursing at her, while the girl whimpers and cries in pain. Along with the video posting, Hillary included a note saying, “Judge William Adams is not fit to be anywhere near the law system if he can’t even exercise fit judgment as a parent himself. Do not allow this man to be elected again. His judgment is a giant farce. Signed Hillary Adams, his daughter.

Considered a "Blue Dog" Democrat, her stances on health care reform and illegal immigration were sources of attention for those opposed to her candidacy and have made her a recipient of criticism from various conservative groups. She has described herself as a "former Republican." Giffords is a native of Tucson, Arizona, and a graduate of Scripps College and Cornell University. Prior to her election to Congress, Giffords served in the Arizona House of Representatives from 2001 until 2003 and the Arizona State Senate from 2003 until 2005, when she resigned to run for the seat held by then-Congressman Jim Kolbe. She also worked as an associate for regional economic development in New York City and as CEO of El Campo Tire Warehouses, a local automotive chain owned by her grandfather. She is married to former astronaut and Space Shuttle Commander Mark E. Kelly. On January 8, 2011, Giffords was a victim of a shooting near Tucson, which was reported to be an assassination attempt on her, at a supermarket where she was meeting publicly with constituents. She was critically injured by a gunshot wound to the head; thirteen people were injured and six others were killed in the shooting, among them conservative federal judge John Roll. Giffords was later brought to a rehabilitation facility in Houston, Texas, where she recovered some of her ability to walk, speak, read and write. On May 16, 2011, Giffords traveled to Kennedy Space Center to watch the launch of STS-134, the final flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour, which was commanded by her husband Mark Kelly. Giffords underwent surgery on May 18, 2011, to replace with plastic a part of her skull that had been removed in January to permit her brain to swell after the gunshot to her head. On June 15, she was released from the rehabilitation hospital to return to her husband's League City, Texas, home, where she is continuing speech, music, physical and occupational therapy. On August 1, 2011, Giffords returned to the floor of the House of Representatives to vote in favor of increasing the debt ceiling. +tucson shooting 6 dead, jared lee loughner federal prison mental hospital, tucson shooting survivors congress,

Joe Frazier
January 12, 1944 – November 7, 2011, also known as Smokin' Joe, was an Olympic and Undisputed World Heavyweight boxing champion, whose professional career lasted from 1965 to 1976, with a one-fight comeback in 1981. Frazier emerged as the top contender in the late 1960s, defeating opponents that included Jerry Quarry, Oscar Bonavena, Buster Mathis, Eddie Machen, Doug Jones, George Chuvalo, and Jimmy Ellis en route to becoming undisputed heavyweight champion in 1970, and followed up by defeating Muhammad Ali on points in the highly-anticipated "Fight of the Century" in 1971. Two years later Frazier lost his title when he was knocked out by George Foreman. He fought on, beating Joe Bugner, losing a rematch to Ali, and beating Quarry and Ellis again. Frazier's last world title challenge came in 1975, but he was beaten by Ali in their brutal rubbermatch. He retired in 1976 following a second loss to Foreman. He made a comeback in 1981, fighting just once, before retiring for good. The International Boxing Research Organization (IBRO) rates Frazier among the ten greatest heavyweights of all time. He is an inductee of both the International Boxing Hall of Fame and the World Boxing Hall of Fame. Frazier's style was often compared to that of Henry Armstrong and occasionally Rocky Marciano. He was dependent on bobbing, weaving, grunting, snorting as he grimaced with all out aggression wearing down his opponents with relentless pressure. His best known punch was a powerful left hook, which accounted for most of his knockouts. After retiring, Frazier made cameo appearances in several Hollywood movies, and two episodes of The Simpsons. His son Marvis became a boxer trained by Frazier himself although was unable to emulate his father's success. Frazier continued to train fighters in his gym in Philadelphia. His later years saw the continuation of his bitter rivalry with Ali, in which the two periodically exchanged insults, interspersed with brief reconciliations. Frazier was diagnosed with liver cancer in late September 2011 and admitted to hospice care. He died November 7, 2011.

Calvin Murphy 14 Children Nine Different Women- Calvin Murphy is confirmed to have fathered 14 children by nine different women. In 2004, he faced trial in Houston for sexually abusing five of his daughters. He was acquitted of these charges in December of that year. In 2007, the Houston ESPN radio affiliate hired Calvin Murphy to host "The Calvin Murphy Show". The show was canceled January 28, 2010. Calvin Murphy (born May 9, 1948, in Norwalk, Connecticut) is a retired American professional basketball player who played as a guard for the NBA's San Diego/Houston Rockets from 1970-1983. He is a former member of the Houston Rockets' broadcast team. He was also the host of ESPN Radio's The Calvin Murphy Show. Standing at a height of 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m), Murphy has the distinction of being the shortest player inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Walter Koenig suggests Babylon 5 return- Walter Koenig has suggested that Babylon 5 could return in some form. The actor told fans at a recent Las Vegas Star Trek convention that series creator J Michael Straczynski is in talks to revive the show. "He told me that he is in negotiations to re-acquire the rights to Babylon 5 and it looks pretty good," said Koenig, who played Bester on the sci-fi drama. Koenig added that it is currently unclear what form the new Babylon 5 will take. "It could be a new series or it could be a feature film, but [Straczynski] was quite animated about it," he said. "He seemed very excited. "Warner Brothers is dealing with him in good faith. So you might see another Babylon 5 in the not too distant future." Babylon 5 originally aired on now-defunct network PTEN from 1994 to 1997 and on TNT for a final fifth season in 1998. The series also spawned six television films and short-lived spinoff series Crusade.
Clint Eastwood + Seven Children + Five Women- The 80 years old actor turned director Clint Eastwood has seven children with five women and he feels "ridiculous" when he goes to watch his teenage daughter play sports. The 14-year-old daughter Morgan with current wife Dina Ruiz is the youngest one. His first was daughter Kimber in 1964, born to actor Roxanne Tunis.Next came son Kyle (1968) and daughter Alison (1972) with his wife Maggie, whom he married in 1953 and divorced in 1984.Then came son Scott (1986) and daughter Kathryn (1988) with flight attendant Jacklyn Reeves. Daughter Francesca was born in 1993 to actor Frances Fisher. In 1996, Eastwood married Dina Ruiz, a news anchor in Salinas, Calif., and later that year daughter Morgan was born. He said he considered himself a better dad than he used to be, but sometimes feels uncomfortable that he is much older than other parents. "When I was younger, I was desperate to find the brass ring," he said. "So I worked constantly and I wasn't as good a father as I am now, because now my daughter takes precedence. "I go to the school activities, all the softball games. I look kind of ridiculous out there. Almost everybody's got a younger father than me. "But it's fun. I think you appreciate everything when you get to my age." Looking back over his illustrious movie career, which includes five Oscars, Clint told Total Film magazine that he had done a "nice" job to successfully turn to direction. "When I directed my first film, Play Misty for Me in 1971, I thought, 'Gee, if I could pull this off, maybe I could get behind the camera because I may be 78 some day and not want to look at myself in front of the camera.' "As you go along, every chapter is a new chapter and someday you look back and say, 'I have been doing that.' And it's been a nice journey."
Leno I have yet to touch a dime of my Tonight Show salary. I live off the money I make as a comedian- Jay Leno Republican and Democratic challengers continue to squeeze their supporters dry to fund multi-million dollar campaign war chests, the Jay Leno for President campaign is saving its supporters $4,600 each. According to federal campaign laws, individuals may contribute up to $4,600 to a presidential candidate (with a maximum of $2,300 going to the primary election and $2,300 to the general election). By running a donation-less campaign, in which no money will be raised or spent to get Jay elected president, his supporters enjoy what other candidates' backers are sorely missing: The financial windfall of not having to contribute a dime to an election campaign. "Our donation-less campaign is the first time in America presidential politics that supporters save money before their candidate even gets elected," said Howard Lester, chairman of the Jay Leno for President campaign. "Every candidate says they'll save people money with tax cuts and other empty promises, if they're ever elected. Meanwhile, they're costing their supporters thousands of dollars each with absolutely no guarantee they can even win. It costs Jay Leno's supporters nothing to back their candidate. That's something we can all be proud of." The credo of the Jay Leno for President campaign is: We're out to raise consciousness, not money. For that simple reason alone, there's no "Donation" button on this site, nor any vehicle whatsoever for collecting or disbursing campaign funds. In fact, after nearly three months, and millions of supporters, our campaign war chest is still bone dry. Of course, it would be a cinch for Jay to raise money, if and when he finds out about the Jay Leno for President campaign. He knows lots of rich people. But, if he's the kind of candidate we know he is, and if he knows we're the kind of supporters we know he knows we are, when he finally declares his candidacy, we're certain of one thing: Jay'll will want to continue the strategy of building support without relying on money to do it. That simple, humble quality of Jay Leno, the man, will make him shine even brighter as a presidential candidate in the hearts and minds of American voters.
Jay Leno's position on two key presidential campaign issues, energy and the environment, were revealed to the public in an article he wrote for the September 2007 issue of Popular Mechanics Magazine. His comments in PM's Jay's Green Garage series mark one of the few times during the campaign Jay has spoken out on the issues, sparking speculation that he may be inching closer to a formal declaration of his intention to run for president.In the article entitled "Blowin' In The Wind," Jay demonstrated how he is leading by example, doing his part for energy conservation and the environment, by installing wind-driven turbines to generate electrical power for his garage near the San Gabriel mountains in California. The article gave PM readers and Jay Leno for President supporters a first-hand glimpse of Jay's personal commitment to solving this country's problems. It also shows the kind of leadership we can expect if this concerned and dedicated man becomes president. "None of the other presidential candidates have put in wind-powered generators, super-efficient water heaters, or environmentally-friendly parts washers at their garages," remarked Jay Leno for President campaign chairman Howard Lester. "Jay's a man who's taking action on the environment and energy-conservation, he's not just talking about it. While Jay's spending tens of thousands of dollars of his own money at his facility to personally help improve the environment and cut energy consumption, Hillary, Mitt, Barack, and the others are busy spendings millions of dollars of other people's money to fund campaigns in which they just talk about it. So in a contest of talk versus action, doesn't that make Jay Leno the obvious choice?" As the owner of a huge collection of classic and antique cars, Jay Leno has been a featured writer for Popular Mechanics, contributing his automotive views and ideas to millions of PM readers every month. Sharing his thoughts on the environment is nothing new for Jay. Several previous articles have detailed other initiatives Jay has taken at his large garage to do his part for the environment. But, the September PM article went further on the issue, an indication that Jay is sensitive to the feelings of his supporters and might soon accept their draft of him as a presidential candidate. Acknowledging that there are people who believe in doing something about global warming and those who don't, Jay's own efforts with generating wind-powered electricity provide a solution that's good for both. Jay said it best in the PM article: "Either way, you're doing a good thing: Saving the environment and striving to be more self-sufficient, which is an important goal for all Americans."
