More Media Time, on Various Screens
The increased frequency reflects a rise by 26 percentage points in the number of Americans with access to the Internet.Sprint's unlimited data stream becomes very important if it is the primary net connection.If we are out of range of DSL and or FIOS I would prefer a coaxial connection. A smart phone / laptop pair works well for mobile service but if I am static my preference is the biggest pipe practical.

Sr. White House Official: GOP Consumer Bureau Demands 'Unacceptable'
The White House making a big public push to pressure moderate Republicans to support Richard Cordray, President Obama's nominee to run the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, when the Senate votes on his confirmation Thursday. Nearly all Senate Republicans have vowed to filibuster any potential director until Democrats agree to dramatically scale back the bureau's regulatory power.
In a background briefing with reporters Monday, a senior White House official said the GOP's demands won't fly.

Report: Scott Brown Bucks GOP, Endorses Cordray CFPB Nominee
Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) is bucking his party and asking for an up-or-down vote for former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray to run the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
"The senator supports the Cordray nomination and believes it deserves an up or down vote on the Senate floor," his spokesman John Donnelly told the Boston Globe.

Paul Ryan Takes On Elizabeth Warren And The 99 Percent
Democrats want the 2012 elections to turn on the question of which party has a better vision for the country, and to win the ensuing battle of public perception, both parties are putting the brightest shine they can on their particular designs.
On Wednesday, the GOP pitted conservative darling Paul Ryan against liberal hero Elizabeth Warren, with Ryan serving as a tribune to wealthy Americans and Warren as a populist fighter for working people.

Poll: Scott Brown Ahead But Under 50 Percent Against Elizabeth Warren
A new poll in Massachusetts find that Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) remains ahead in his race for re-election in 2012 -- but is well under 50 percent against former White House adviser Elizabeth Warren, a precarious spot for a Republican in this usually deep-blue state.
The new survey was sponsored by Boston's NPR station, and conducted by polling firm MassINC. The numbers: Brown 44%, Warren 35%. In match-ups against other Democrats, Brown led City Year co-founder Alan Khazei by 45%-30%, led Dem activist Bob Massie by 45%-29%, and led Newton Mayor Seti Warren 46%-28%.
In a positive sign for Brown, his favorable rating is a solid 54%, to only 25% unfavorable. On the other hand, Elizabeth Warren is at only 17%-13% favorable, with 24% undecided and a 44% plurality having never heard of her -- and Brown is nevertheless unable to reach 50% support in this Dem state.
The poll was conducted from August 30 to September 1, and has a ±4.4% margin of error.

Coverage of Koran Case Stirs Questions on Media Role
“Consider the media manipulated. Good @nytimes piece. Coverage of Koran Case Stirs Questions on Media Role - http://nyti.ms/d5YeIF”"Angry Clerics' Call to Action
In 2010, even though Mr. Jones called off his burning of the Koran, a subsequent wave of protests at NATO facilities in Afghanistan led to at least five deaths. In several of those incidents, Taliban agitators played a role, allegedly spreading rumors that the Koran burning had taken place. However, the Taliban have had little or no presence in Mazar-i-Sharif.
On March 20, 2011, Mr. Jones burned the sacred text with little apparent reaction. President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan, however, condemned the burning in an address before Parliament, and President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan called on the United States to bring those responsible for the Koran burning to justice. A prominent Afghan cleric, Mullah Qyamudin Kashaf, acting head of the Ulema Council of Afghanistan (and a Karzai appointee), also called for American authorities to arrest and try Mr. Jones for the Koran burning.
The incident that resulted in the deaths of United Nations workers began in April when three mullahs, addressing worshippers at Friday prayers inside the Blue Mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif, one of Afghanistan’s holiest places, urged people to take to the streets to agitate for Mr. Jones's arrest.
The crowd — some carrying signs reading “Down With America” and “Death to Obama” — poured into the streets and swelled — the governor of Balkh Province, Atta Mohammad Noor, later put the number at 20,000. According to Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai, spokesman for General Daoud Daoud, the Afghan National Police commander for northern Afghanistan, the crowd soon overwhelmed the United Nations guards, disarming some and beating and shooting others.
Mr. Jones was unrepentant. “We must hold these countries and people accountable for what they have done as well as for any excuses they may use to promote their terrorist activities,” he said in a statement."
"Do not poke the tiger."
