OK Florida, it's your turn! GET OUT THERE AND VOTE! Mitt Romney will be campaigning in the Tampa area today and will be at the Tampa Convention Center when the polls close tonight. Newt Gingrich will spend primary day in the Central Florida area, waiting out the results at the Rosen Center in Orlando. Each of the candidates is confident and predicting that he will take Florida.
Florida is a crucial state in this primary, as in every Presidential year. Every four years, U.S. citizens elect a new president. And every four years, candidates, the news media and political consultants head for Florida. Florida is perennially important in presidential politics because of its large number of votes in the Electoral College, and because the voters in the state, at least in recent memory, are sharply divided.
U.S. presidential races are decided by the Electoral College. Each state has electors to the college based on the number of representatives it sends to the Senate and House of Representatives. There are 100 senators, two for each state; 435 members of Congress, apportioned according to population; and three electors from the District of Columbia for a total of 538. Candidates need 270 votes in the Electoral College to win.
In 48 states, the candidate with the most votes wins all of that state's votes in the Electoral College. Two states, Nebraska and Maine, send select electors according to votes in the Congressional district. Florida, with 27 Electoral College votes, contains 10 percent of the winning total.
Many states vote reliably for one party or the other. Utah, for example, is reliably Republican. New Jersey votes predominantly for Democratic Party candidates. Florida is not one of those states. It has, historically, been a swing state. According to 270toWin, "influxes of Cubans, retirees, service workers to the theme park economy booming near Orlando and other groups have resulted in a state much more diversified -- both economically and politically -- than many of its southern brethren." As a result, although still leaning slightly Republican, Florida is today seen as perhaps the ultimate swing state, with its population a microcosm of the country as a whole. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan are also considered swing states. Florida, however, is the largest swing state. It trails California, which has trended Democrat in recent years and has 55 Electoral College votes; Texas, with 34 votes and mostly Republican; and New York, with 31 votes.
A credible presidential candidate must find a way to come up with 270 votes. Both sides typically start with a batch of states widely considered to be safest for its candidate. Then, the candidates use polls to tally which "lean" toward their candidate--states that aren't a sure thing, but can be won with minimal effort. Next are the toss-up states, which require more significant investment. The math, according to one Los Angeles Times article, can sometimes fill a classroom blackboard. But in the end, a handful of states are truly contested. These are the swing states."
Congratulations to Mary Tyler Moore on receiving the SAG Lifetime Achievement Award Sunday night.
Mary rose to fame as Laura Petrie while starring in the hit 1960s CBS sitcom, "The Dick Van Dyke Show." In the '70s, she portrayed 30-something career woman Mary Richards in the long-running series, "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." And at 75 years old, Moore continues to act. She recently made a guest appearance on the Betty White series, "Hot in Cleveland."
It was very fitting that Mary’s television husband, Dick Van Dyke presented her SAG award on Sunday. Moore described her former co-star, Van Dyke, as her "biggest fan," telling Reuters, "He would encourage me because it was the first time I had done any real comedy. And I said to Dick, 'I'm so nervous,' and he said, 'Mary, you just do what your instinct tells you and don't be afraid of moments where you think you'll look like a blubbering idiot. Just do it to the best of your ability and you're going to be fine.'" Mary Tyler Moore has received seven Emmys, three Golden Globes and a Tony award. Of course she’s a great actor – she’s from Brooklyn!
The 18th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were presented in 15 movie and TV acting categories in Los Angeles, and aired live on TNT and TBS.
The show aired without a host, but had an A-list group of presenters to announce the winners, including George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt, Michelle Williams, Ben Kingsley, Owen Wilson and Kenneth Branagh.
Preheat nonstick skillet to medium-high.
In a small bowl, stir together hot sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and garlic until well blended. If the honey clumps, nuke the mixture for 10 to 15 seconds, then stir.
Place chicken and half the sauce mixture inside a large zip-top plastic bag, then shake to coat each piece.
Pour soaked tenders into the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side. When done, toss with remaining sauce mixture to coat. Serve with dressing.
Senator Rick Santorum had good news to share concerning daughter, Bella. "She's had a miraculous turnaround," Santorum said on the call with Florida voters. "We have a long way to go, but she turned the corner and we are very, very grateful." He confirmed that his daughter was diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs and said the family had a "very difficult 36 hours." The former Pennsylvania senator said his daughter remains in intensive care and will be in the hospital for several more days.
Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum canceled his Sunday morning campaign events and planned to spend time with his hospitalized daughter. Senator Santorum and his wife Karen were forced to admit their 3-year old daughter Bella to a Pennsylvania hospital reportedly due to complications from Trisomy 18. “Rick and his wife Karen are admitting their daughter Bella to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia this evening,” Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley said in a statement. Isabella Santorum has Trisomy 18, a genetic condition caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 18th chromosome. When asked about her, Santorum says his daughter was not expected to survive until her first birthday and often has to catch himself to stop from tears. "I have a little girl who's 3 1/2 years old," he told Christian conservatives in Iowa before winning that lead-off contest. "I don't know whether her life is going to be measured – it's always been measured – in days and weeks. Yet here I am. ... because I feel like I wouldn't be a good dad if I wasn't out here fighting for a country that would see the dignity in her and every other child." When voters ask him about her, he calls the decision to campaign "gut-retching" but says he goes forward for all special needs families. "You think she's fine, and then one cold and she's this close to dying," he told The Washington Post last year in an interview. In October, he missed one of Bella's surgeries to participate in a debate and told the audience that he planned to take an all-night flight home from Las Vegas to be with her.
"I look at the simplicity and love she emits," Santorum said in a web video his campaign released after his scheduling drew questions, "and it's clear to me we're the disabled ones."
Santorum largely has kept his daughter off the campaign schedules, preferring her to stay home with her mother. But Bella did join Santorum for a few days around Iowa's straw poll in August, and she joined her family in Charleston, S.C., the day of its primary. She didn't join her six siblings for the public speech. She stayed backstage.
Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome, is a condition which is caused by a chromosomal defect. It occurs in about 1 out of every 3000 live births. The numbers increase significantly when early pregnancy losses are factored in that occur in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy.
Unlike Down syndrome, which also is caused by a chromosomal defect, the developmental issues caused by Trisomy 18 are associated with medical complications that are more potentially life-threatening in the early months and years of life. 50% of babies who are carried to term will be stillborn, with baby boys having higher stillbirth rate than baby girls.
At birth, intensive care admissions in Neonatal units are most common for infants with Trisomy 18. Again, baby boys will experience higher mortality rates in this neonatal period than baby girls, although those with higher birth weights do better across all categories.
Some children will be able to be discharged from the hospital with home nursing support for their families. And although less than 10 percent survive to their first birthdays, some children with Trisomy 18 can enjoy many years of life with their families, reaching milestones and being involved with their community. A small number of adults (usually girls) with Trisomy 18 have and are living into their twenties and thirties, although with significant developmental delays that do not allow them to live independantly without assisted caregiving.

~ The peace symbol ☮ was created by Gerald Holtom in 1958. It was designed for the British "Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament". The design was created by superimposing the flag semaphore letters 'N' and 'D' (Nuclear Disarmament) onto a circle. Flag semaphore is a system of communication using two hand held flag to convey information based on what position each flag is held at. The letter 'N' in flag semaphore is created by holding both flags at an angle below the horizontal line. This forms the two angled lines on the Peace Symbol. The letter 'D' is created by holding one flag straight up and one straight down. This forms the vertical line of the Peace Symbol.
~ From 1909 through 1982, the US penny was made from 95% copper and 5% zinc. As of October 2009, the metal in one pre-1983 penny can be melted and sold for 1.8 cents. The scrap value for pennys from 1982 and earlier is more than the coin is worth as currency.
~ In botanical terms, a fruit consists of the ripened ovary and seed of a flowering plant. What most people consider the strawberry "fruit" is not technically a fruit. The strawberry is considered an "accessory fruit". The fleshy part is derived from the peg at the bottom of the hypanthium that held the ovaries, and not from the ovaries themselves which form the "seeds". So from a technical standpoint, the seeds are the actual fruits of the plant, and the flesh of the strawberry is modified receptacle tissue.
~ The modern bikini was invented by a French designer in 1946. It was named after Bikini Atoll, the site of US nuclear weapon tests a few days earlier in the Marshall Islands, on the reasoning that the burst of excitement it would cause would be like the nuclear device.
~ Hydrogen peroxide bubbles on wounds not because it is killing germs, but because it decomposes into water and oxygen gas in the presence of enzymes from broken skin cells.
~ Ketchup has not always been made out of tomatoes. It started out as a general term for sauce, typically made of mushrooms or fish brine with herbs and spices. Mushroom ketchup is still available in some countries, such as the UK. Some popular early main ingredients include anchovy, oyster, lobster, walnut, kidney bean, cucumber, cranberry, lemon, and grape.
~ To make Pop Rocks, the hot sugar mixture is allowed to mix with carbon dioxide gas at about 600psi. The carbon dioxide gas forms tiny, 600psi bubbles in the candy. When you put the candy in your mouth, it melts and releases the bubbles. What you are hearing and feeling is the 600psi carbon dioxide gas being released from each bubble.
~ Campbell's "Chicken Noodle" soup wasn't always one of Campbell's most popular soups, and it didn't start out as "Chicken Noodle" soup either. Introduced in 1934, it was originally called "Chicken with Noodles" and enjoyed only moderate success. Later that same year an innocent misstatement on the "Amos 'n' Andy" radio program caused sales to sky-rocket. Amos misread his copy and accidentally called the product "Chicken Noodle" soup. Suddenly the soup company started receiving large orders for their "new" product. The soup was formally renamed "Chicken Noodle" after the erroneous turn of phrase caused high demand for the soup. Today, Campbell's uses nearly a million miles of noodles in the production of their Chicken Noodle soup every year. That is enough noodles to circle the equator over 40 times.
