VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
Face It, Republicans, ‘Bazooka Joe’ Biden Won the VP Debate
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/10/12/face-it-republicans-bazooka-joe-biden-won-the-vp-debate.html
Like a bulldog picking up the scent of fresh meat and not quite sure where to find it, Biden tore up everything in sight. He went after moderator Martha Raddatz when she challenged him on defense cuts. He went after the time clock when he thought he was getting cheated. (It turned out he spoke for longer than his opponent did.) And there wasn’t a sentence Rep. Paul Ryan uttered that was not the subject of a Biden snarl or sneer or alarmingly white-toothed grin or laughter or interruption or all of the above.If anything, Biden helped President Obama by restoring some energy to a demoralized base. Biden was everything the president was not in his encounter with Mitt Romney: feisty, passionate, eager, the “happy warrior” that Obama has never seemed to be.

Paul Ryan Wins Debate as Joe Biden Fails to Embarrass Rival
http://news.yahoo.com/paul-ryan-wins-debate-joe-biden-fails-embarrass-234917623--politics.html
Biden failed in that goal, for the most part, though the sometimes gaffe-prone vice president certainly did not embarrass himself. Ryan, who for much of his young career has been a hero to conservatives, managed to successfully portray himself and Romney as defenders of the middle class and responsible stewards of foreign policy who would not get America into another war.But Biden for the most part failed to add enough substance to his stock phrases of dismissal --“That’s a bunch of malarkey." ... “Not a single thing he said was accurate.” ... “This is a bunch of stuff” -- to embarrass Ryan. In particular, Ryan managed to neutralize the issue of whether Romney's proposed 20 percent cut in marginal tax rates would favor the rich, despite the lack of specifics of which deductions and loopholes the Republicans would eliminate.
I THINK THAT JOE BIDEN WON THE DEBATE EVEN WITH HIS RUDE COMMENTS AND SMILING. HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT WHILE PAUL RYAN GAVE MOSTLY GENERALIZATIONS AND I PERSONALY THINK HE WAS NERVOUS AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY HALF THE TIME; MAYBE THAT IS WHY HE DRANK SO MUCH WATER.

Personal Opinion
VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
After wathing the vice presidential debate between Repblican Paul Ryan and Democratic Joe Biden, I think that Joe Biden won the dabate. Not only did he seem more intense in the debate, he also had a lot to say about the issues in Amierca. What I don't understand is that a lot of people were complaining that it didn't matter that Repulblican Mitt Romney kept on interupting in his debate with President Barack Obama, but when Democratic Joe Bidden interupts in his debate most people made a huge deal about it. The complaints about Obama being to quiet and not making eye contact with Mitt Romney should have been comprimised when Joe Biden did it, but everyone was upset about that, which also doesn't make sense. I also want to put out there that when the monerator would ask a question Biden was spot on with answering it and he gave several real life examples on how it was, while Paul Ryan never answered the question, all he would do is talk about something close to the subject and never give the answer to the question, which really aggrivated me, therefore I stopped watching the debate after the tax segment. I do feel bad that Paul Ryan was cut off so many times, but it was only because he kept on talking about stuff that was always irrlevent or not direct to the question being asked. So I would say that Mitt Romney won the Presidental Debate, and Joe Biden won the Vice Presidential debate.

MENINGITIS OUTBREAK
First Lawsuit Filed as Meningitis Outbreak Grows
http://www.foxbusiness.com/industries/2012/10/12/calls-for-criminal-probe-grow-as-meningitis-outbreak-widens/
The pharmacy at the center of a deadly U.S. meningitis outbreak possibly linked to tainted steroid injections faced mounting federal and state scrutiny on Thursday, including a potential criminal investigation, as the national death toll climbed to 14. As many as 14,000 people - 1,000 more than previously thought - received injections from suspect shipments of steroid treatments produced by the Framingham, Massachusetts-based New England Compounding Center (NECC).
Meningitis-linked firm reportedly sold drugs without prescriptions
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/10/14/meningitis-linked-firm-reportedly-sold-drugs-without-prescriptions/
Reuters reviewed more than a dozen emails that show the New England Compounding Center, contrary to state rules, sold drugs without requiring physicians to supply individual patient prescriptions. Massachusetts prohibits pharmacies such as NECC, which create drugs that are unavailable from pharmaceutical companies, from selling medications without being in receipt of a prescription. It is not illegal, however, for healthcare providers to buy in bulk from licensed pharmacies, of which NECC was one.
Maryland reports 14th case of meningitis linked to shot
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/10/13/maryland-reports-14th-case-meningitis-linked-to-shot/

O’Reilly, Stewart tangle over election, Bush and birth control in rowdy mock debate
The 90-minute exchange between the Fox News anchor and the star of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” saw them banter aggressively but good-naturedly over birth control, President George W. Bush and the so-called “War on Christmas.” The political feud between the two TV personalities dates back more than a decade. Stewart and O’Reilly love to disagree, but appear to hold nothing against each other afterward. The two have appeared on each other’s programs since 2001, but the face-off at The George Washington University marked their first head-to-head debate.
Birth control as election issue? Why?
Republican presidential candidate, Rick Santorum talks to Charlie Rose about the controversial statement about contraception made by one of his benefactors.Decades ago, near the end of the Age of Aquarius, a Republican congressman from Texas argued passionately that the federal government should pay for birth control for poor women.
Birth Control, Abortion & Election 2012: A Collegiette's Guide
the issues of birth control and abortion impact each and every young woman in this country. Whether you’ve ever purchased a birth control pill, debated with friends about the morality of abortion, or had a family member go to Planned Parenthood for a breast cancer screening, as a young woman you are inevitably affected by the discussion and status of women’s sexual health in this country. Issues of women’s reproductive health have forced their way to the forefront of the presidential election, and it is discouraging and a little disconcerting how few women are included in the conversation at the highest level, the Sandra Flukes of the world notwithstanding. This November, our vote is our microphone. The support of strong and informed female voters can be invaluable to a presidential candidate

FOX 25 discusses medical marijuana ballot question
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/m/marijuana/index.html
A Rhode Island woman who suffers from two medical conditions spoke with FOX 25 about using medical marijuana to ease her pain. Ellen Lenox Smith doesn't want to be in a wheel chair or wear a neck brace, but it's the only way she can get around when her conditions get really bad. "I've had 20 surgeries to try and get myself back on my feet, to walk again, to be able to move around and hold myself together," says Ellen. If medical marijuana becomes legal in Mass., there would be distribution centers with strict oversight where patients would have written permission from their doctors saying they have a specific debilitating medical condition like cancer, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, hepatitis C, Crohns, ALS, and more.

Marijuana and Medical Marijuana
Marijuana’s use has particularly increased among teenagers. According to a December 2011 government report, one out of every 15 high school students smokes marijuana on a near daily basis, a figure that has reached a 30-year peak even as use of alcohol, cigarettes and cocaine among teenagers continued a slow decline.The popularity of marijuana reflects what researchers and drug officials say is a growing perception among teenagers that habitual marijuana use carries little risk of harm. That perception, experts say, is fueled in part by wider familiarity with medical marijuana and greater ease in obtaining it.http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/m/marijuana/index.html
