Obama, Romney push economic themes in key states

GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) ? Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is giving President Barack Obama's economic policies a failing grade. And he's promising to create 12 million jobs in his first four years in office.

Romney told a Denver-area rally Thursday that his Democratic opponent has disappointed the nation. He shared a report card giving Obama poor marks on job creation, foreclosures and American incomes.

The former Massachusetts governor is also promising to make North America energy independent in eight years.

Romney is campaigning across Colorado on his first day back on the campaign trail after a bumpy overseas trip.

Obama won Colorado four years ago, but polls suggest it will be a tight race this November. The state, like the nation, has an 8.2 percent unemployment rate.

Simply You and Me: Crock Pot Creamy Italian Chicken and Rice

Ok. ?I have found the mystery of why I'm not losing weight. ?Well, the other?mystery. ?The first is the honest fact that I hate to exercise. ?The second will come to now surprise to you either. ?If you have hung around my blog for even a minute, you will see all my recipes are wonderful Southern comfort food. ?Soul food. ?Down home goodness usually made with cream cheese, cream of something or another soups, and cheese.

I can hear Dr Phil in my head "Well, Dana, what's eating you?" ?Why can't I just like food? Good food. ?Stop analyzing me, Phil! ?I'm a Southern Belle who just happens to be a bit bigger than her debutante gown. (no, we did not have debutante parties in Texas, but you get the picture.)

On to the recipe.

Crock Pot Creamy Italian Chicken and Rice

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 pkg dry zesty Italian dressing

1/3 cup water

1 can (10.5 oz) each cream of mushroom and chicken soups

1 (8 oz) brick of cream cheese, softened

Cooked rice

Directions

Mix water and dressing together. ?Place chicken in bottom of the crock pot and cover with dressing. ?Cook on low for about 3 hours. ?After 3 hours, you can shred, cube, cut or just leave your chicken whole. ?Whisk together soups and cheese, pour over chicken and cook for another 3-4 hours. ?Serve with hot rice.

Again, like I said, Southern comfort food. No holds barred on this one. ?But, I can tell you...it was good.?

Avoiding Olympic spoilers is a sport of its own - KWQC-TV6 News ...

By LEANNE ITALIE
Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) - Mandy Hauck turned 25 on Wednesday, but she's avoiding Facebook and her happy birthday messages to steer clear of Olympic spoilers about her favorite sport, fencing.

Hauck has also deleted her iPhone apps for CNN and ESPN, opting for news from the London Games the old-fashioned way, via TV coverage that's time-delayed by NBC for prime time.

The network is making live streams of the action available in real time online. Hauck's hanging tough, though, in favor of doing actual work during the day as the marketing communications manager for a software company in Atlanta, a job that requires her to stay on Twitter while she attempts to stay away from its main page and trending topics.

"I enjoy the experience of sitting with my family and friends in front of the television and cheering for the athletes as if they were competing live," said Hauck, a former college fencer who has been following two-time American gold medalist Mariel Zagunis in London. "It's much more entertaining and enjoyable that way!"

It's also incredibly difficult with social media in full flower. Olympic spoilers have people turning off phone alerts, hiding their iPads and shushing co-workers in search of simpler times, when screaming at the TV during nail-biting competition was a sport unto itself.

Pervasive spoilers even solicited an apology from NBC's Olympics executive producer, Jim Bell. He tweeted a mea culpa for a Monday night gaffe, when the network ran a "Today" show teaser with swimmer Missy Franklin showing off her gold medal - just before the network aired the race where she won it.

While angry tweeters have taken to - yes, Twitter - to grouse about spoilers, Paul Redfern at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania has entered what he calls "my Olympic dark period" on social media. That's not an easy thing when your job description includes overseeing social media engagement. He's also the dad of two young kids.

"Watching the prime-time broadcast is a family tradition," he said. "The Summer Olympics are almost always on for part of our vacation and we always gather as a family to watch each evening."

Redfern is leaving the tweeting on behalf of the college to another person in the office for the duration.

Lisa McTigue in Los Angeles is a former competitive swimmer who truly loves sitting down to soak up the Olympics on TV. Unfortunately, she's also an Internet marketing consultant who can't do her job without Facebook, Twitter and other social media.

"All the excitement I have felt for the Olympics in previous years is completely gone," she said. "In previous years, I felt inspired to get back in the pool. This year, that inspiration and excitement is - meh."

Despite complaints, NBC's corporate owners said Wednesday that they expect to break even on the London games after once predicting they'd take a $200 million loss. On Tuesday night, 38.7 million people tuned in.

Count Rob Holliday among the Olympic traditionalists. He, too, has turned off push alerts and kept Twitter and Facebook use to a minimum. He's also avoiding major online news sites and turns off the radio and TV when anchors issue Olympic spoiler alerts.

"I thought it was a fairly airtight plan," he said. "After jumping through all those technological hoops, I walked in to my daughter's pediatrician's office only to hear a woman say, "'Guess what? Team USA won the gold in women's gymnastics!' Argh!!"

Graduate student Shraddha Sankhe, who's spending the summer in Washington, D.C., as a communications intern for a nonprofit, considers it mission impossible to avoid Olympic spoilers, so he's going with it.

He's been plugging in to social media big time to follow results and watching live feeds online. "It doesn't make sense to wait for the results to be 'seen' on network television a few hours later," Sankhe said. "Internet more than makes up for a cable subscription these days for students like me."

Sankhe caught the opening ceremony live via BBC One using a link forwarded by friends on Twitter.

Olympic purist Jennifer Chang in Saratoga, Calif., can't afford to go dark online due to her communications job for a medical research foundation. But she's curating the Twitter feeds she follows. She's temporarily dumping the ones that are spilling news without spoiler warnings in favor of those using the broadest terms possible to announce results while providing links to details within a tweet.

That, she said, leaves it up to her to link for further news while staying in touch online. "I appreciate that greatly."

Some Twitter fanatics are taking full advantage of filters available on Tweetdeck and other tools used to organize feeds.

Beth Laughlin, a former competitive gymnast, has gone dark on news feeds of all kinds as she intensely follows the sport. But her husband, Will Laughlin, turned out to be the spoiler.

"Halfway through my first cup of coffee, a New York Times alert popped up on my iPad: U.S. women win team gold. The words fell out of my mouth before I knew what they meant or could gulp them back down," he said.

"My wife cocked her head sideways in disgust and said, 'You just ruined it!' She still cheered and cried while watching the events unfold on TV, but it really wasn't the same."

Computer Gaming Headset

I'm planning on building a gaming computer nearing Christmas, and I'm starting to plan out my build. This will be my first build and I'd like to make it last. I plan on continually upgrading it (probably yearly) and slowly turning it into a better machine while adding any new products that come out. I realize that new hardware may come out before I build it in Christmas, but might as well start planning now.

With that said, I'm not on a completely strict budget (yet), but I would like to keep the computer below $750. I have my peripherals picked out already (R.A.T 5, AOC 20" Widescreen LED Monitor, ThermalTake KB-CHP001US eSports Challenger. Already have a gaming headset. Feel free to critique the peripherals, also.) and it will end up being around $1,000 at the end.

Anyway, this computer will be used mostly for gaming and a bit of video/graphics editing, so a strong video card and some good memory are must. I'd honestly prefer an Intel i5 2500k processor, but it would probably be more cost effective to get a AMD x4 Phenom II BE. I'm also REALLY wanting a GeForce GTX 560 Ti, as it is a recommendation for BF3 coming out in a few weeks; a game I really want to play. Everything else is basically up for negotiation. I'd just like to get some input on what I should do.

Here is a short build I wrote up that may work. I do not know much about various parts, though, so please help me out and tell where I could improve it. Could some also please confirm for me that this build would be completely compatible?

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Quad Core Processor - $115
Asus M4A88T-V EVO USB3 Motherboard - $100
Kingston KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX DDR3 8GB (2x4GB) RAM - $55
EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti - $250
Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black Hard Drive 7200RPM 64MB - $80
Asus DRW-24B3ST/BLK/G/AS Internal 24x CD/DVD Drive - $25
Cooler Master RC-310-RWN1-GP Elite 310 Mid-Tower Case - $40
Corsair CMPSU-750TXV2 Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750-Watt - $95

Total Computer - $760

Thanks in advance, guys.
