GOP Governors Group Hits Democrats In Colorado And Maine

0
0
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic governor of Colorado is soft on a convicted killer and the Democrats' hopeful in Maine would dole out millions in tax dollars to immigrants in the country illegally, the Republican Governors Association tells voters in ads that started running Tuesday.

The emotionally charged spots are just the latest examples of unflinching ads from the GOP governors' political arm, which is run by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. The highly critical ads come as polls show both Colorado and Maine to be tight races — and the latest finance reports show the Republicans' committee with more than $70 million saved to help GOP candidates. The ads are against Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a first-term Democrat who is in a tight race against former Rep. Bob Beauprez, and Democratic Rep. Mike Michaud, who is challenging deeply unpopular first-term Gov. Paul LePage in Maine.

The RGA was already advertising in those races and the new ads will take the place of earlier ones. In Colorado, that means $700,000 in Denver and Colorado Springs will be spent on the ad; in Maine, it's a $500,000 buy in Portland.

In Colorado, the 30-second ad cites Hickenlooper's suggestion that he might scrap the death sentence of a multiple murderer on death row if he loses his re-election campaign. Hickenlooper already has given the inmate Nathan Dunlap a temporary reprieve from execution as long as Hickenlooper is governor.

Dunlap was convicted of killing four employees inside an Aurora, Colorado, Chuck E. Cheese after the children's restaurant closed. In the decades since the 1993 killings, advocates have pointed to failures of Dunlap's trial lawyers and a diagnosis of bipolar disorder — developments that raised concerns for Hickenlooper.

In an interview with CNN, Hickenlooper suggested he could make that reprieve permanent if he loses in November.

"There are obviously remedies that the governor can do, you know," Hickenlooper told CNN for a documentary. "I could give it a full clemency between Election Day and the end of the year."

One of the victims' fathers, Bob Crowell, called Hickenlooper a "coward" for the move. The RGA used that assessment in its ads.

The governor's office said Hickenlooper was dealing in hypotheticals and was discussing legal options that are available to him. His campaign called the ads unfair and driven by politics, not justice.

"The governor made a decision and he stands by that decision. Nathan Dunlap will die in prison," campaign spokesman Eddie Stern said. "It is a legitimate question whether the state should take a life, and the fact that victims' families have conflicting views on this issue underscores the importance of this discussion."

Across the country, the RGA also started new ads against Michaud, claiming he would turn Maine into a destination for immigrants who are in the United States illegally.

Maine, whose population of 1.3 million is about 94 percent white, is home to an estimated 55,000 immigrants and relies heavily on migrant workers for its blueberry harvest every August.

For months, LePage has hammered Michaud on immigration — in a state almost 2,500 miles from the U.S.-Mexican border. LePage touts his directive that cities and towns not provide welfare benefits to those who can't prove they are living in the country legally.

In Congress, Michaud supported the 2010 DREAM Act, which would have granted legal status to hundreds of thousands of immigrant students. Michaud also opposed the 2006 Border Security Bill, which would have built a 700-mile fence along the United States' southern border.

Republicans said Michaud favored immigrants over Maine residents.

"Do you think Maine's cities and towns should continue to use your tax dollars to pay welfare benefits to illegal immigrants?" the 30-second ad's narrator asks. "Mike Michaud does."

Michaud's campaign said the RGA is an attack rooted in politics, not facts.

"It is a distortion of the congressman's record and it's untrue," said David Farmer, a senior adviser to the Michaud campaign.

LePage is among the most disliked governors facing voters this fall and one of the few chances Democrats have of tipping a governor's office in their favor.

"They can't improve Paul LePage with positive ads," Farmer said. "Voters here in Maine have a low tolerance here for negativity."

Michaud's campaign is on the air with two positive ads highlighting the congressman's life story and his work to help New Balance, a New England-based company.

Look At The Incredible Celestial Phenomenon Called 'Airglow'

Look At The Incredible Celestial Phenomenon Called 'Airglow' On April 27, photographer Jeff Dai captured this stunning image of the skies over Tibet, following some powerful thunderstorms in Bangladesh. The colorful ripples of stars seem to form a luminescent spiral in a phenomenon known as "airglow."

"The unusual pattern is created by atmospheric gravity waves, waves of alternating air pressure that can grow with height as the air thins," explains NASA, which selected Dai's image as its "Astronomy Picture of the Day." The light and color produced during this airglow shot are the result of a chemical reaction taking place about 90 kilometers up in the sky.

"Chemical reactions produce the light like in a glow stick," Bob Keesee, of the University of Albany, explained to NBC News, in reference to another airglow photo. 

While the Northern Lights, or aurora, are only visible from certain vantage points, airglow can be seen anywhere in the world. Airglow, which NASA says "keeps the night sky from ever being completely dark," is the light that hangs around even in a seemingly pitch black sky.

Here's what airglow looks like from space, in an image captured from the International Space Station as it passed over Australia:

Teamwork, desire to learn, and staying in front of trends are three ways real estate expert Ray Zabielski suggests to grow as an agent.

Naperville, IL (PRWEB) September 03, 2014

Managing Broker at Greater Chicago Area real estate company, Charles Rutenberg Realty, offers his tips to promote agent success. Charles Rutenberg Realty is a Chicago Tribune Top 100 Workplace, thanks to the strong support system created by Ray Zabielski.

“My role is to grow the company, give advice and counsel to agents when asked and to find the technology and resources that help agents build their individual businesses," said Ray Zabielski, Managing Broker and Owner at Charles Rutenberg Realty of IL, LLC (CRR). “Agents generate the business, and we created an atmosphere to nurture and support their success.”

In 2013 CRR completed over $445 million in transactions and over the last 10 years has signed over 2,000 agents. With a rich history in the real estate industry, Zabielski shares his tips to maximize agent potential and ensure success:

1.    Work Together: Agents at CRR benefit from a highly supportive atmosphere. Agents prefer working together rather than competing among themselves. “Teamwork is not a natural process at every firm, but it can be essential to one’s success as an agent. CRR agents share information on lenders, inspectors, attorneys, marketing tips, and post to our AgentsShare.com site to tap into a wide infrastructure of supportive agents,” says Zabielski.

2.    Never Stop Learning: A key to growing as an agent is actively staying up to date on industry changes and education. “CRR agents understand the complexities and challenges of the industry by consulting with each other and management on ways to stay ahead of trends to help grow business,” shared Zabielski. "Plus, all agents have access to our training site, CRREdu.com."

3.    Use Technology: According to Zabielski, “Agents who embrace technology are much more likely to succeed. CRR has a great paperless online document system, and we strive to offer the latest tools and technology to all agents, allowing them to better serve their clients.” Technology can help agents maximize their potential and grow.

“I enjoy creating support systems to help our agents grow their business. Every agent is important at CRR and each has the potential to grow and be successful,” concluded Zabielski.

An inspiring story of the importance of family, love and perseverance will be documented in the season finale of “Extreme Weight Loss” Season Four. This final episode introduces a 423 pound father and his 265 pound teenage daughter from Highlands Ranch, Colo. who have a strained relationship.

Highlands Ranch, Colo. (PRWEB) September 03, 2014

An inspiring story of the importance of family, love and perseverance will be documented in the season finale of “Extreme Weight Loss” Season Four. This final episode introduces a father and his teenage daughter from Highlands Ranch, Colo. who have a strained relationship. He weighs 423 pounds and she weighs 265 pounds. Their challenge is to team up to lose a combined 330 pounds.

Featuring a unique, non-competitive approach to weight loss transformations, “Extreme Weight Loss” airs TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on the ABC Television Network.

15-year-old Juliana was born to Jeff and his wife later in life (her two siblings are more than a decade older). As a result, Juliana struggles to connect with her father, often feels ignored and overlooked and can no longer hide her resentment toward him. Jeff has realized that he needs to be a better father to Juliana and has vowed to be a better role model. This episode documents Jeff and Juliana’s year-long physical and emotional journey.

New in Season Four, each “Extreme Weight Loss” participant spends the first 90 days of his or her weight loss journey at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center (AHWC) in Aurora, CO. Holly Wyatt, MD, medical director for the AHWC, also serves as medical director for the television program and is seen on the show each week helping participants safely lose up to half of their body weight.

At the end of this episode Jeff and Juliana will “pay it forward” by giving a friend or family member the opportunity to transform his or her life. The CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center will provide a scholarship to the one-week, evidence-based “Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp” transformation program.

The University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center offers some of the country’s most advanced research and science-based expertise, focusing on a comprehensive weight loss and weight management approach, including fitness, nutrition and wellness services.

Twitter Map Proves Astronauts Really Take The Best Pictures Of Earth

It was a historic day when astronauts met Twitter in 2009.

Those aboard the International Space Station have been using the social media platform to share magnificent photos of Earth ever since. And now -- thanks to Dave MacLean, a faculty member at the Centre of Geographic Sciences (COGS) in Nova Scotia, Canada -- there's an easy way to follow the astronauts-cum-photographers.

Using Twitter's geographic data, MacLean has developed a map to organize more than 650 photos taken from the ISS. The map pinpoints where the photos were taken over Earth, making it easy to see what your favorite landmarks look like from space. MacLean's map also shows the current position of the space station, give or take a minute or so:

(Story continues below.)The project is a collaboration of NASA, COGS, and the Environmental Systems Research Institute's geographic information systems mapping software. It features photos from the Twitter feeds of Alex Gerst, Reid Wiseman, Макс Сураев and Oleg Artemyev as they float around the world at 17,150 miles per hour.

Gabby Giffords, Mark Kelly's Group Targets 'First Female Air Force Pilot to Fly in Combat'

Gabby Giffords, Mark Kelly's Group Targets 'First Female Air Force Pilot to Fly in Combat' On September 3, the gun control group founded by Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly began running ads against Martha McSally (R-AZ)--a retired Air Force pilot seeking to fill the congressional seat Giffords herself once held.

McSally, who was "the first female Air Force pilot to fly in combat," is being targeted by the group because she is pro-gun. She is running against Representative Ron Barber (D-AZ), a gun control supporter who won Giffords' old seat in a 2012 special election.   

According to Politico, the ad criticizes McSally's opposition to gun control--particularly universal background checks--by suggesting she supports a "loophole that allows criminals and the dangerously mentally ill to buy guns without a [background] check."

The ad does not mention that Elliot Rodger (Santa Barbara gunman), Ivan Lopez (2014 Ft. Hood gunman), Paul Ciancia (LAX gunman), Aaron Alexis (D.C. Navy Yard gunman), Nidal Hasan (2009 Ft. Hood gunman), and James Holmes (Aurora theater gunman) all went through background checks to get their guns.

The ad also features testimonial from a mother who claims, "McSally got a lot of money from the lobbyists who also support the gun show loophole." But the ad says nothing about the "six-figures" Giffords and Kelly's group is spending to try to help gun control candidate Barber win the race.
