[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/11/09/art.huck.gi.jpg caption="Huckabee wants to be taken seriously."]
(CNN) - There's a likely GOP 2012 presidential candidate who is a former governor, darling of the party's conservative base, and the leader of nearly every early presidential poll.
And his name is not Sarah Palin.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, whose upstart presidential campaign toppled Mitt Romney in Iowa and nearly brought down John McCain in South Carolina last year, wants people to know he's every bit as serious as other potential presidential aspirants, and suggested there's a double standard when it comes to how some in his party treat him and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
"Some of the people who had excoriated me and really been very dismissive of me for views that I had taken, and labeled me anything from a populist to an ignoramus - the same people have been very defensive [of] and laudatory to Sarah Palin," Huckabee told Politico in an article published Monday.
I'm a very serious person," he also said. "I may not be dour, but I'm serious."
The former two-term Arkansas governor has expressed criticism of Palin before, suggesting her abrupt resignation of the Alaska governorship may suggest she's not ready to handle the pressures of a hardscrabble presidential primary campaign.
"If she's looking to be a national political figure, it's not going to get easier," he said in July. "In a primary this is going to be an issue she'll have to face. Will she be able to withstand the pressure?"
In many respects, Huckabee should be considered the early favorite in what already appears to be a crowded field of 2012 Republican contenders. He consistently leads Palin and his old rival Romney in presidential polls and has maintained a legion of faithful followers. He's also out with a new book this month and a concurrent book tour through some of the country's most conservative townships - including some in politically important Iowa.
Huckabee was also the winner of a recent Values Voter Summit straw poll, grabbing nearly 29 percent of the vote in a crowded field that, in addition to Palin and Romney, included Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Indiana Rep. Mike Pence, House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
But Huckabee's fundraising pales in comparison to Romney's and Palin's, and it's the former Republican vice presidential candidate who has been dubbed the party's rock star, and whose upcoming book tour will make national headlines - a fact Huckabee brushed off with his trademark humor.
"I'm glad she's getting the props - I know I'm not nearly as attractive," he said.

Daniel Coats, director of national intelligence, told associates in March that President Donald Trump asked him to intervene with then-FBI Director James Comey and get him to have the bureau back off of its investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn and his ties to Russia.
The incident occurred March 22, less than a week after Coats was confirmed by the Senate. He attended a briefing at the White House along with officials from other government agencies, and according to the Washington Post, as the briefing was wrapping up, Trump asked everyone to leave the room except Coats and CIA Director Mike Pompeo.
According to the Post, Trump began complaining about the FBI investigation, which Comey had confirmed was happening two days earlier in a congressional hearing, as well as Comey's handling of it.
Officials speaking on the condition of anonymity told the Post that after discussing the conversation with other officials, Coats decided that intervening as Trump had asked would be inappropriate.
Coats is scheduled to testify Wednesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee, and he will be asked for information about his interactions with the president regarding the FBI investigation.
Here is yet another accusation that the president attempted to obstruct a federal investigation looking into his campaign's ties to Russia. A prior report said that Trump had asked Coats to publicly deny any evidence of collusion during the 2016 election.
Comey is scheduled to testify Thursday, and it's already been alleged that the president asked him to drop the investigation as well but that Comey refused.
While the Post's report makes note of Coats being asked, what of Pompeo? What is his role in this? What actions, if any, has he taken to help the president? Has he been asked to intervene, too?
From the Post:
Brian P. Hale, a spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), declined to comment on whether Trump asked Coats to intervene with Comey regarding the Flynn investigation. Hale said in a statement: "Director Coats does not discuss his private conversations with the President. However, he has never felt pressured by the President or anyone else in the Administration to influence any intelligence matters or ongoing investigations."
A spokesman for Pompeo declined to comment on the closed-door discussions. The White House referred questions to outside lawyers, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Get your popcorn ready. The next two days on C-SPAN should be wildly entertaining.

Home Electrical Contractor Free Electrical Contractor Business Plan 8.7 Operating Profit Margin Analysis
The Operating Profit Margin for a small business like Lights On Electrical is the Operating Income divided by the Sales of the business. In the world small business the earnings before income and taxes is used as the operating income. This ratio computes how much money the business has left over to pay for the interest on its loans and taxes and it gives small business owners like Andy & Jose the ability to explain to the reader of the business plan just what kind of cushion the business has to pay its creditors.
In this analysis we can see that the operating margin will be 25.9%, 32.6% and 36.9% of total sales which are projected to be $285k, $315k and $335k in the years 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively. What this means in simple English is that of every dollar earned in 2015, 25.9 cents will towards the payment of interest, taxes and the rest to the firms' bottom line. These margins of course can be easily affected if costs were to increase resulting in higher operating expenses andtherefore lower the operating margin. Alternatively sales could come in higher than projected and that could improve these ratios if costs remainedthe same. Operating income is currently projected to be $73,920, $102,570 and $120,156 in 2015, 2016 & 2017 respectively.

Facts about Windsurfing in SA
Combine surfing and sailing and you'll get an exciting sport called windsurfing. Riding a board powered by wind on a sail can be tons of fun even if you're a beginner, with jumps, loops and spinning maneuvers to potentially engage in, once the basics have been mastered.
What better place to do it than South Africa, one of the leading windsurf destinations in the world? This is also the right time of year, with summer months offering temperatures of around 30oC and near-perfect wind conditions. So dust off the old kit or borrow some from a family member or a friend, and head out to defy friction and gravity by engaging in a seductive dance with both the sea and the wind.
Short History of Windsurfing
The sport stems back to 1948, which was when a 20-year old American Newman Derby thought of using handheld sail to control a small catamaran and invented what was known as a sailboard. The next major development took place during the late 1960s. Jim Drake, an aeronautical engineer, had the idea to get the sail moving by rotation and consequently conceived the universal joint. This mechanism is what allows a rider to control both power and direction by varying the angle of the sail to the board. In 1968, Together with a guy called Hoyle Schweitzer, Drake filed the first ever windsurfing patent. The popularity of this fun and challenging water activity reached its peak in the 1980s and was recognized as an Olympic sport in 1984. Now a days organised competitions such as: Formula windsurfing, Slalom, Wave and speed sailing, SuperX and Freestyle, all take place around the world. Did you know windsurfing can also be done indoors? The PWA/UKWA World Indoor Windsurfing Championship, held during the annual London Boat Show, takes place at a massive indoor pool with powerful fans taking on the role of the wind.
A Lifetime Activity
It may look difficult to learn, but they say it takes no more than a few hours to conquer the basic skills of sailing, steering and turning. You're likely to start off on a large board with a tiny sail, in shallow waters along with a wind of less than 5 knots. Beginners start off by; developing balance and stability, understanding the basics of sailing theory, and learning a few techniques. Mastering the more advanced manoeuvres will take a bit longer so don't expect to do planing, carve gybing or jumping before you've put in an increased amount of hours, (or more likely weeks to months...) of practice. The great thing is windsurfing is a sport that even kids as young as 5 years old can partake in, and once mastered one can continue on well into retirement. This is largely due to the fact that even if you were to crash, you're likely to suffer significantly milder injuries than those with sports taking place on hard surface.

inflation, inflation-adjusted wages, manufacturing, manufacturing wages, private sector, real wages, wages, {What's Left of) Our Economy
The Labor Department's July inflation-adjusted wage figures came out this morning, and for a change, the biggest new development (at least IMO!) isn't on the month-to-month front, the year-to-year front, or even the trend-since-the-recovery-began front (though all of these numbers once again trash the idea of any major wage inflation taking hold in America).
Instead, the big news looks like the fact that, as of last month, real wages for the private sector have experienced their worst six-month stretch since the March-September, 2011 period. That was nearly four years ago!
Back then, wages after inflation for the private sector dropped by 0.58 percent cumulatively. Since this past January, they're down by 0.47 percent on the same basis.
Moreover, manufacturing wages tell the same story. On a constant dollar basis, they're now in their worst six-month stretch since July, 2012 through January, 2013. Back then, real manufacturing wages sank by 0.86 percent on net. Since this past January, they're off by 0.56 percent.
Not that the bad news, as suggested above, stops there. Real private sector wages actually rose in July by 0.10 percent. That meager advance, however, was the best performance since January. The 1.94 percent year-on-year increase was better than June's 1.75 percent. But it was the second worst since last December. It's also true that this July's annual real wage gains were much better than those of the last few Julys. Yet that's only because those annual real wage increases were practically nonexistent – and from 2010 to 2011, these wages actually decreased.
And don't think that the real wage picture brightens when you examine the trends during this economic recovery – an especially important indicator since developments during business cycles (recessions or expansions) give us the most informative data. Since the last recession officially ended – in mid-2009 – inflation-adjusted private sector wages have risen only by 1.74 percent. In other words, that's the total extent that American workers outside government (where wages are set by politicians' decisions) have kept ahead of living costs over the last six years.
Interestingly, over the past year or so, the manufacturing real wage path has closely tracked the overall real wage path. As with private sector wages, the inflation-adjusted 0.28 percent monthly gain registered in manufacturing was the best performance since January. And as with private sector wages, manufacturing's 1.24 percent July year-on-year improvement topped June's 1.05 percent. As a result, that rise was also a second-worst since December.
Over the longer run, however, there's been notable divergence between real private sector wages and real manufacturing wages. Whereas the former have risen – slowly – during the current economic recovery, the latter are down by 1.31 percent.
And so it keeps getting ever truer: You can say "wages" and "inflation" in the same affirmative sentence. But you can't legitimately say that with a straight face.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) withdrew from a Delhi court its petition seeking permission to further probe the Rs 64-crore Bofors payoff case, PTI reported on Thursday. The agency had moved the petition in February 2018 citing fresh evidence.
The agency on Thursday y informed Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Navin Kumar Kashyap that a decision on future course of action would be taken by it and wanted to withdraw the application for now.
Taking note of CBI's stand, the judge said: "For the reason best known to the CBI, in case they want to withdraw the application, they have the right as they are the applicants."
The court on December 4, 2018 had questioned as to why the CBI required its permission to further probe the matter. CBI's earlier plea challenging the acquittal of all the accused in the case was dismissed by the Supreme Court this year.
The Bofors deal dates back to 1986 when Indian signed an agreement with Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors for the supply of 400 units of 155-mm Howitzer guns to the Indian Army.
In April 16, 1987, the Swedish Radio had claimed that AB Bofors had paid bribes to top Indian politicians and defence personnel to secure the Rs 1,437-crore deal.
The CBI registered the FIR in 1990 against Martin Ardbo, the then chief of the company AB Bofors for alleged offences of criminal conspiracy, cheating and forgery under the Indian Penal Code and other sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act. FIR was registered against alleged middleman Win Chadda and the Hinduja brothers also.
The first chargesheet in the matter was filed on October 22, 1999 against Chadda, Ottavio Quattrocchi, the then defence secretary S K Bhatnagar, Ardbo and the Bofors company.
A supplementary charge sheet in the case was filed against the Hinduja brothers on October 9, 2000. A special CBI court, on March 4, 2011, discharged Quattrocchi from the case, saying the country could not afford to spend hard-earned money on his extradition which had already cost Rs 250 crore.

Houston Daycare Injury Lawyer
As a parent, the health and safety of your children is more important than anything else. Your job, social commitments, and even personal wellbeing all take a back seat when it comes to your kids. Trusting your children to the care of professionals is difficult but often necessary for working parents. Daycares exist so that these individuals have peace of mind that their children receive professional care and attention—but what happens when a child is injured at a daycare center?
What You Need to Know
First of all, it is vital to fully assess the injury and your child's perception of it. Children often play rough, and cuts and scrapes are a completely normal part of growing up. Some accidents may be completely out of the hands of daycare staff, such as a tumble off of playground equipment that the child has no trouble navigating regularly. Kids are incredibly resilient, and the usual scuffs and bumps are often forgotten as quickly as they come. However, should your child seem uncharacteristically hesitant to talk about his or her injury—or if he or she displays any other behavior out of character following an accident—this may be cause for alarm.
If your child was injured at daycare and you think a lawsuit may be a necessary next step, get a full account of exactly what happened. Other children unfortunately do not qualify as reliable witnesses, so you will need to ask the staff what happened and how the injury was treated. It should be obvious, but a scraped knee is not often just cause for a lawsuit. However, if your child suffers a broken bone, serious burn, or becomes ill from exposure or lack of proper care, you definitely want to consider a lawsuit. Look for these warning signs:
- It appears as though the injury was due to inadequate supervision from the staff
- The grounds and premises seem unsafe or unfit for children
- There is evidence of any criminal activity taking place on the premises
- Your child displays signs that they have been intentionally abused by staff members
In cases of intentional assault from daycare staff, you can file a civil lawsuit against the offenders. They may also face criminal charges for their conduct; this is highly likely if they are found to have abused a child in their care.
Assess Your Legal Options
If you have reviewed the details of your child's injury and a lawsuit seems to be the best option, your next step should be retaining the services of an experienced and reliable attorney. If your child's injury was not the result of intentional criminal conduct, then proving negligence is crucial to a successful personal injury lawsuit. To do so, you must establish three facts:
- The daycare center owed your child a duty to act with reasonable care. For a daycare center, this means it must have adequate staff to provide proper supervision to all of the children in its care, its premises must be clean and hazard-free, and staff members must actively supervise children's health and safety and provide care as needed.
- The defendant breached this duty through some action. This could extend to failing to address safety concerns on the premises or having too many children assigned to each caregiver.
- This breach directly resulted in your child's injury. To qualify, the injury must have happened while at the daycare center under the supervision of the staff.
If you are dealing with an injured child, navigating legal entanglements can be added stress that you simply do not want to address—but it is vital that you hold negligent parties responsible for the damage they cause. The Nielsen Law Firm has over 30 years of experience defending the rights of our Houston, TX clients in all manner of personal injury cases. Get in touch with us today for a free case evaluation.

Album review: Bill Frisell's 'Beautiful Dreamers'
This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.
At this point in Bill Frisell's career, you pretty much know what you're going to get. Sure, there's the occasional foray into his unhinged past with John Zorn's Naked City and the string-heavy Richter 858 project, but for the most part Frisell has carved out a comfortable -– and, let's be honest, quite lovely –- niche that finds his alternately stinging or soothing guitar tone stirring up a gorgeous and unique mix of rustic Americana and slow-boiling jazz.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. For his latest record, his first for Savoy Jazz, Frisell has assembled an unconventional trio with experimental-minded violist Eyvind Kang and drummer Rudy Royston, who has backed frequent Frisell collaborator Ron Miles. Frisell isn't a stranger to string accompaniment in a small ensemble given his recent work with Jenny Schienman. But Kang is given ample room to put his distinct stamp on the proceedings, most notably with his gruff, sawing interplay with Frisell on a twilit reading of "It's Nobody's Fault but Mine." Frisell's taste for mining the classic songbook remains intact with lovely, understated takes on "Beautiful Dreamer," "Tea for Two" and the ever-jaunty "Keep on the Sunny Side," but these add up to a rather inescapable feeling that Frisell has been here before.
Originals such as the churning and surprisingly upbeat Vic Chesnutt dedication "Better Than a Machine" and the elastic "All We Can Do" certainly show there's plenty for both longtime fans and newcomers to enjoy here. It's just hard not to wish for more surprises.
