...Over the coming months, it is fair to expect much more of this sort of back-and-forth over the town hall issue. It will be a war over process, but not an incidental one. Nearly the entire Republican establishment agrees that if the coming campaign is decided at the podium with a teleprompter, McCain has already lost. But if McCain can make the election about small-scale events like town halls, than the Republican has a clear shot at limiting the obvious impact of two of Obama's key strengths, his enormous crowds and his enormous war chest...
...Leith's focal point is the Shore: a café-studded quayside leading past a series of tranquil canals fed by the Firth of Forth. Overlooking this estuary is Leith's hippest address, the Malmaison Hotel, www.malmaison-edinburgh.com.

Amid all this back-and-forth, however, there is one point that everyone agrees on: exercise definitely improves a child's overall sense of well-being.

Obama supports a net increase in taxes for the wealthy, a possible increase...

They're chased by several whooping boys, who inevitably catch them and haul them off to "jail," a spot by a wall. The gypsy children of Istanbul's impoverished Sulukule neighborhood - home to the world's oldest Roma community - call this game Cops and Bellydancers, a homespun version of Cops and Robbers amended to reflect their own experience of being born into a life of dancing and dodging the police...
