Fair Game (November 19): Naomi Watts, Sean Penn, and reflects the real life of a CIA agent, Valerie Plame and her husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson, this ripped-from-the-headlines thriller from Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity). Fair Play is angry film, but moviegoers eager to hear liberal bad old days? (I think we can assume that the Conservatives are not the target audience.) Trailer



The next three days (Nov. 19): When his wife jailed in murder, Russell Crowe puts in a long conspiracy to remove her out. This action thriller has a great supporting cast (Liam Neeson, Olivia Wilde, Elizabeth Banks and Brian Dennehy), but the real star may be a person behind the camera: Crash-a Paul Haggis.



127 time (November 24): James Franco, earning raves as Aron Ralston, an external real-life adventure which was forced to cut his own arm when it became trapped under a rock. It sounds almost too ugly to wear. In fact, there have been reports of fainting audience. But we've heard people - many women - who have seen 127 times and loved it. Added attraction: It is directed by Danny Boyle's next Oscar winners Slumdog Millionaire.



Comic (November 24): This is the fascinating concept - musical set in night clubs, where girls perform on the development of cabaret shows. He said big screen debut of pop icon (Christina Aguilera) and the return of the second (Cher). This may be the second in Chicago. But it could also be another coyote ugly.

Depp and Jolie in the box offers a lot of energy management and cooperation with Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck writing, German film Lives of Others took home the Oscar for foreign language film. I do not like?



The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn tread (Dec. 10): Critics of the then 20 minutes of the third installment in the Chronicles of Narnia series, and while he seemed serious overplotted, it also seems to be a visual tour de force. The first two titles of Narnia received a combined 445 million U.S. dollars in the domestic market, suggesting that the audience is still a great series.



How do you know (December 17): Reese Witherspoon (always popular) will keep pace with the two boys - his pro jock friends (Owen Wilson) and entrepreneurs in the face of litigation (Paul Rudd). This star power is enough to arouse our interest - Rudd's father was the role of Jack Nicholson. Better still, behind the camera, James L. Brooks and broadcast news Terms affection fame.



Fighter (Dec. 17): 1980, boxer "Irish" Mickey Ward (Mark Wahlberg) and his trainer / brother (Christian Bale) to prepare the match ups. By Amy Adams and Melissa Leo. The most promising aspect of this card: the direction of David O. Russell (flirt with Disaster, Three Kings).

Tron: Legacy (December 17). 1982, Disney's Tron - the first film feature, "Employment of computer image - about a computer programmer trapped in the videogame During the years it gained cult status, but we all die and a subsequent Good show last event preview in IMAX? sold today. and the 3-D computer animation can be an explosion of primitive socks from f / x from '82.

Little Focker (December 22), except for his address to his strict father (Robert De Niro), Pam and a few Greg (Ben Stiller and Teri Polo) during pregnancy is to argue. Meet the Parents and Meet the Focker combined 445 million U.S. dollars, expect more success on this one. Harvey Keitel, Owen Wilson, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand Focker reprise part of their meeting.



Black Swan (Dec. 22): Darren Aronofsky has had great success two years ago in The Wrestler. It may in fact this is a Hitchcockian thriller set in the world of dance? Natalie Portman plays prima ballerina, a spiritual crisis after the pressure of his works (Vincent Cassel) and a young dancer (Mila Kunis), which is all too willing to take if he could. Portman said it touts a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination.

Turning pennies into thousands at UI

Boise, Idaho - It is a unique scholarship program of the University of Idaho found the money in the fund.
This is just what it sounds - a fund of money that people have found.
It all began in 1970 with a meager professor.
"I have three brands have found their way on the third day of school in January 1981, Terry Armstrong, a professor said at the University of Idaho. "I have my three cents and said," how much money I can find this year? "I was in the office of President then, and the press secretary is a nickel She said." I'll put my nickel on your cents. We have a party at the end of the year. "
At the end of the year Armstrong and his colleagues saved $ 11. He decided it was not a real big party with only $ 11, so he donated it to the university.
What a joke turned into a real fundraising campaign, with money donated from around the world, especially from alumni.
"But seriously, I taught for 44 years," said Armstrong. "You will never have the money to buy these kind of things you should do."
At the end of October, the Fund is $ 284,238.06 in cash.
"When markets are in order, we have enough money, amount to double every six years," said Armstrong. "Should raise half a million, another million two doubles. It's up there pretty good, even with lousy recession."
Armstrong said he did not actually have the money, but only the interest to spend money.
It is hard to keep up with Terry Armstrong, but his latest forecast, he expects up to $ 300,000 this time next year and 10 years, her goal is $ 1,000,000.

Disney Channel “Avalon High” Review

We saw the new Disney Channel Original Movie "Avalon High" tonight (Nov. 12) and we really enjoyed it! It was fun, Gregg Sulkin part of the game watch the movie without his British accent - which took a lot of practice! We also really liked the actress Brittany Robertson Allie games.




In the film, moved Allie and her parents to a new place and start to Allie Avalon High School. Turns out, the Avalon High is not just a normal college - it's special because it is King Aurthur's Court again and repeat the stories of the Middle Ages.



You could say that this has happened since the beginning of the film that introduces the main character, including Miles (Merlin), Lance (Lancelot) and Jen (Genevieve).



We believe that the movie was a big part of the surprise. We had the whole time I think one thing that happens to deceive, but ultimately it was something completely different than we expected!



We believe that the movie was the perfect length, but would have liked a bit more medieval battle at the end of the film seen on the beach. Evil Nature, it seems a bit too quickly defeated, and we want to watch the match may take a little longer.



In addition, we believe that the medieval elements together in everyday events and characters are all good. We love the relationship between Will and Allie advanced - we will cut them off! Also, as a close friend of Miles and Allie was!



We have heard from many fans that the film could be slightly different than the book it is based on Meg Cabot. If you've read the book and see DCOM "Avalon High", so be sure to comment on the comments and let us know what are the similarities and differences.



Also, if you saw "Avalon High", be sure to comment and share the movie with us!

Mohammed is one of three suspected al-Qaeda's water torture, Saudi Arabia, and Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-born Nashira, charged with coordinating the suicide bombing of the USS Cole, Aden.



The British government has long rejected the use of water torture, which they consider to be torture. In his speech last month, the head of MI6, Sir John Sawers, said that his ministry had "absolutely nothing" to do torture, which he described as "illegal and disgusting."



The interview, Bush described a close relationship between Tony Blair, but was rejected by public opinion in Britain, the war in Iraq. "No matter how people see me in the UK is just. It does not matter, and it honestly. Sometimes it's not important, then," he said.



Mr. Bush recalled how when Blair could face a no confidence vote in Parliament on the eve of the war, offered him the opportunity to choose to send British troops into Iraq.



He said that "rather than lose power, I'd much rather have Tony and his intelligence and strategic thinking to the prime minister as a strong and important ally."




 However, Mr Blair told him: "If my government fees and fines."

Haiti tests for cholera in Port-au-Prince

At least 120 people in the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, are tested for cholera, health officials say.
Doctors have told the BBC that the illness is "clinically" in the city, but no official confirmation.
The Health Ministry said 544 people died in a cholera outbreak last Haiti. About 8,000 are hospitalized.
It is the fear of cholera will reach the capital since the start of the congested north in October.
The waterborne disease has already spread to half of the 10 regions of Haiti, and the number of deaths rose by more than 100 in less than a week.
The authorities fear the disease may worsen after Tomas typhoon brought heavy rains last week caused landslides and flooding.
The storm left 20 dead, 36 wounded and 11 missing, officials said.
Aid agencies say the main concern is that flooding could cause the spread of cholera, people without access to basic sanitation and are forced to drink contaminated water.
Slum
The Artibonite River north of Port-au-Prince, which was flooded at the weekend, is believed to be the source of the outbreak.People who live along the river have been asked to evacuate.
The storm without damage to the tent camps in and around Port-au-Prince, where adopted some 1.3 million survivors of the earthquake of January.
Aid workers say people in tent villages have access to clean water and sanitation have improved as residents of some long-standing slums of the capital, the BBC's Laura Trevelyan said in Port-au-Prince.
The health authorities investigated at least 120 suspected cases of cholera in the city on Monday, 114 of them in the slums of Cité Soleil.
Many patients, however, had to Port-au-Prince, Haiti from other parties, including the Artibonite Valley, Timothy Gabriel, the Director General of the Ministry of Health, quoted by AP news coming.
When cases are confirmed, the outbreak could threaten the 2, 5 to 3,000,000 people in Port-au-Prince.
Cholera causes vomiting and diarrhea to severe dehydration. It can kill quickly, but is easily treated with rehydration and antibiotics.

Pakistan drone attacks kill '13 militants'

Two separate attacks carried out by unmanned aircraft killed at least 13 suspected militants in northwest Pakistan, officials said.




Missiles struck one hour apart near the town of Miran Shah in the tribal region of North Waziristan on Sunday



Illegality of the area a haven for Taliban and Al Qaeda members, U.S. drones attacked repeatedly.



Over 70 Gul attacks killed over 200 people in North and South Waziristan since the beginning of 2010.



In the first attack, officials say, rockets hit the house and car of Ghulam Khan, in the north of Miran Shah, capital of North Waziristan. Nine militants were killed.



The second attack occurred about an hour when the missiles hit the car in the nearby town of help helmin Dutta, killing at least four suspected militants, officials said.



Pakistan has publicly criticized the drone attacks, saying the fuel support for the militants. But observers say the officials are privately condemn the strike.



U.S. Army and CIA are not generally confirmed that launched operations unmanned, but analysts say U.S. troops deployed only these aircraft in the region.

Kashmiri militant groups still recruiting in Pakistan

There are different types of duties I can now be sent to do," says the man we have come to meet, but whose identity we have to conceal.




"I can be kept here in the reserves, be asked to recruit new members, or they can send me across into Indian-held Kashmir for jihad," he says.



Until the spring, this 25-year-old had been studying engineering; now he is a militant.



As he describes why he left his studies, he quotes from the Koran and repeats justifications for his choice, which have clearly been taught to him.



"While I was at university, I started going to sermons given by preachers and, thank God, I joined a jihadi group," he says.



"I went to a training camp with hundreds of others for three months. Now I'm ready to do whatever they ask me, to win all of Kashmir for Pakistan.



"The Indians are killing our brothers and sisters. If everyone sits around doing nothing, who will bring liberation?



"God willing, our blood will bring change," the young man adds.



He tells me his family are happy about his choice, and that they will be proud if he becomes a martyr and goes to heaven.



But that turns out not to be the case. After much persuasion, he allows us to meet his mother.



'Brainwashed'



"Only over my dead body will my son go for jihad," she says.



She tells us that she thought her son was going for Koranic teaching but that she was horrified to find that he had, in fact, had militant training.


I pray to God to keep him here and not let him go. I won't let him," she adds.




And the man's brother, we find, is furious.



"He is a different person since he went to the training camp; the way he talks and dresses. They have brainwashed him.



"If Pakistan wants to fight India, why doesn't it do it through its army, why does it have to use boys like my brother?" he says.



The implication being that it is the Pakistani state that is behind the radicalisation and preparation of his brother as a militant.



In 1947, India was partitioned. Muslim-majority Indian states formed the new nation of Pakistan. But in the hastiness of the split, the fate of Kashmir, whose population was more than three-quarters Muslim, was never fully resolved.



In the late 1940s, the United Nations had demanded that India allow a vote in Kashmir so people there could decide upon their future. India said it agreed, but the poll was never held.



The territory is now split between the two regional powers. They have fought wars for its overall control, but in the last 20 years, an insurgency has also taken root.



There was a time when it was an open secret that the Pakistani authorities were directly supporting militancy in Kashmir.



But now Pakistan claims those days are over.



"I assure you, as a state, as a government, there is no such policy of training Kashmiri militants to be sent across [to Indian-administered Kashmir]," Pakistan's Interior Minister, Rehman Malik, tells me.



He says that because of the monitoring of his government, militant groups have been brought under control, that they are no longer a threat to India, and that fighters cannot cross into the Indian-run side of Kashmir.



When I tell him about the militant we had met, and the organised training camp he had talked of, Mr Malik admitted there might be "some non-state groups" still operating.



'Supporting militancy'



But most people living in Pakistani-administered Kashmir will say the government is not telling the full story.



"The intelligence agencies in Pakistan are still fully supporting and financing militant groups here and the government is completely aware," says Zahid Habib Sheikh, from the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF).



"They will tell you there are no training camps but, of course, there are. This has always been Pakistan's Kashmir strategy, but it is a selfish policy that has only damaged our cause," he adds.



Mr Sheikh says he feels Pakistan is supporting militancy here not for the sake of Kashmiris, but to keep India engaged in conflict, and to use the militants as a bargaining chip in negotiations.




"Pakistan has also turned what should be a nationalist cause, about human rights abuses by India, into a religious cause," he says.



The organisation he belongs to re-launched its "Quit Kashmir" campaign earlier this year. It calls for both India and Pakistan to end their involvement in the region.



In what is traditionally protest season in Pakistani-administered Kashmir, where all political groups hold rallies, the march by JKLF was one of the biggest in Muzaffarabad, blocking the centre of the city.



People across Pakistani-administered Kashmir are united in their anger over the recent deaths of over a hundred Kashmiris in the Indian-administered side, killed while protesting against Indian control.



Just as we are leaving Muzaffarabad, after the "Quit Kashmir" rally, we hear crowd noise coming from a marketplace.



There, in the middle of the day, stands a bearded man on a platform, surrounded by armed men in military-type fatigues.



Scores of people have gathered to listen to what he has to say, and respond to his slogans by chanting them back.



He is a senior militant leader, openly urging new recruits to step forward. Undoubtedly more of them will.

Party held without detained Chinese artist Ai Weiwei

Supporters of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei have thrown a party at his studio in Shanghai - an event he could not attend after being placed under house arrest.




Weiwei - creator of the sunflower seed installation at London's Tate Modern - had intended to be at the party, held to mark its imminent forced demolition.



On Friday, however, he said he was being prevented from leaving his home in Beijing by the Chinese authorities.



More than 400 people gathered on Sunday at the $1.1m (£670,000) studio.



Local authorities in Malu township have declared the building illegal, claiming proper application procedures were not followed.



Ai Weiwei has called the demolition order "ridiculous", claiming he had been told the edifice might be spared if he agreed to donate it for use as an agricultural museum.



"The government can make up any kind of rules they want," he is quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency.

He said he had been told not to leave his house and that officials were parked outside in a van to make sure he did not try.




Sunday's event took place without incident, with Weiwei's supporters making a light-hearted statement by eating river crab.



The Chinese name for river crab - "he xie" - sounds like the word for "harmonise", a euphemism often used by the Chinese authorities for censorship.



Born in 1957 in Beijing, Ai Weiwei has played a key role in contemporary Chinese art over the last two decades.



The artist, who helped create the Olympic "Bird's Nest" stadium in his home city, has been highly vocal about human rights issues in his country.



His latest work - a giant installation made up of hundreds of thousands of tiny, hand-painted replica sunflower seeds - is currently on display in the Turbine Hall of London's Tate Modern gallery.



Visitors were initially invited to walk on the seed bed but are now prevented from doing so after concerns over porcelain dust.

Sawfly makes first UK appearance

A tiny insect species has been discovered in the UK for the first time.




The sawfly, which specialises in living on birch trees, is extremely rare within Europe, previously being known to live only in Latvia and Finland.



However, an entomologist has found a single specimen of the species Nematus pseudodispar living in a woodland estate in Scotland.



The sawfly's discovery was announced at a biodiversity conference today.



The specimen was collected on 20 August this year by biodiversity surveyor Guy Knight, an entomologist at the National Museums in Liverpool.



He discovered the sawfly on the Dundreggan Estate in Glen Moriston, which lies to the west of Loch Ness in Inverness-shire.



The estate, which holds birch and juniper woodland, is managed by the conservation charity Trees for Life.

A second opinion was sought from an expert in Germany before the sawfly's identity was confirmed, and announced at the Highlands International Biodiversity and Climate Change conference, part of the United Nations' International Year of Biodiversity, being held at the Highland Council Chambers in Inverness.




The fly species is considered to be a specialist depending on northern European birchwood.



Previously at the same site, scientists have discovered a mining bee thought to have been extinct in Scotland since 1949 and the golden horsefly, which had only been sighted twice in Scotland since 1923 until it was spotted on Dundreggan in 2008.

Governor, senator, propositions, more to be decided

11-02) 19:35 PDT San Francisco - 08:00 ignored the governor and senator to vote in their own countries, among other things, to legalize marijuana for the proposed system from the list of standing efforts to tackle climate change California, the struggle to determine, and easily pass the national budget voters.




Some species even ignored by voters this year - the Vice President and Attorney General - San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, Mayor and Attorney Kamala Harris work, in particular the attendance of voters in a campaign is unusual in the back.



The money - on top of the ballot for governor, the more attention to competition. Pass the eBay CEO Meg Whitman, former Republican Party more than $ 160,000,000 - $ 140,000,000 itself - a governor for two terms earlier, Jerry Brown's campaign for attorney general.



When he was first elected in 1974 in the history of Brown, 36, and is one of the new governor of California. He knew what kind of shy, sent by his opponents for every $ 1 spent $ 6, and continued the theme of this campaign.



Brown, may his years of experience in crisis in California, the best candidate, provided you maintain control over a wide area and imposing a new tax without the consent of the voters questioned the position of the half. Whitman, in the confusion of the year, ten thousand, to have "is run like a business in California," said went abroad.



In Barbara Boxer, also from the outside, I ran into the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard Carly Fiorina has faced high-tech exec. Fiorina, whose "bitterly for the" California "lack of leadership" followed by "career politicians" for the poor boxer directly talking to the camera, appearing in numerous advertising campaigns. In turn, Fiorina was a boxer to take HP to lay off 30,000 workers, who work in shipping abroad and shed light on the opposition constantly Fiorina on television advertising.



As usual, voters legalize marijuana for sale and use of column 19 is a long list of shares offered, and experience.



In general, the benefit of the general - - 19 great support by the tax authorities no-confidence pot, and the budget will help to mobilize people to convince young people in the state of California put their hope.



Federal law still illegal - the bill to help local authorities set their own rules and a variety of taxes to the city, state, city, state, and would be rules for the chaos of confusion with the terms of the Monolith 19 said. They are also investigating the use of marijuana and driving under the influence of broadening resulted in more people and keep them.



The unemployment rate for several years, economists and analysts said was probably about 12 months to prevent up 5.5 per cent less attention pillar act to stop climate 23. California killed the progress on the issues of Texas by the oil companies and disguised hostility in an attempt to draw it, while proponents of this measure was only partially responsible for the downturn.



25 column is simple to state lawmakers, by simple majority of two thirds requirement for approving the budget, cutting goals. This year's budget indicates that the last time: One hundred days after the beginning of the year, Congress approved. Every day on a budget at the end, a member of Form 25 punished. Currently, retain your daily budget at the time of late, but can raise money when the budget is approved.



Vice President and contests with attorney general, the results of the best offices in the city, through the creation of vacancies in San Francisco has a significant impact on the political scene can be.



Newsom, the city market and a high level, and Abel Maldonado, Santa Barbara County, second place of the former state lawmakers, most of the competition on the job in the armed forces of the son of Mexican farm workers face two weeks. Competition creates Republican Attorney General Steve Cooley, Los Angeles, examine the top of the old Harris and freedom of prosecutors in San Francisco.



It was one of the most important candidate in competitive career major San Francisco Bay that money the state Senator perates former City councilors Jean Kaplan, a professor of Communication and Rebecca Kwan, the state of San Francisco, Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums Doman 1000000000000 success, to reach 10. Auckland is the first priority in the choice - the use of other voice of a first half of a proper assessment to begin to choose, and can not be known the winner for a few days.



San Francisco voters, the level of the city, or lie on the sidewalk between Francis and prohibited public officials in the city's pension and health benefits will have to pay more for the B-pillar, and a controversial proposal, including the number of L- column, identify and 23:00 07:00 30 days in jail for repeat offenders will face fines of $ 500.

David Rivera, Allen West show early leads in Congressional races

With more than one-third of precincts reporting results for several South Florida races, clues are emerging about potential winners, from those for Congress to state legislature to county, city and school board seats, while others are still up for grabs.




In a closely watched race to represent Florida's 25th Congressional District -- a battle largely played out in television attack ads -- Republican David Rivera is beating Democrat Joe Garcia by less than 10 percentage points, although one-third of precincts in the district -- stretching from West Miami-Dade into Collier County -- have not reported results.



In another close battle between for Florida's 22nd Congressional District, which includes parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties, Democrat incumbent Ron Klein and Republican Allen West are within 10 percentage points of each other, with a little less than half of precincts reporting.



In Florida's 17th Congressional District, Democrat Frederica S. Wilson is expected to win with an immense lead over independent candidate Roderick D. Vereen, and currently holds about 86 percent of the vote as almost half of precincts reporting results, In Florida's 18th Congressional District, incumbent Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is also expected to easily beat Democrat Rolando Banciella, and current holds 70 percent of the vote with more than half of precincts reporting.



In Florida's 20th Congressional District, which includes parts of Broward and urban areas of Miami-Dade, incumbent Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz is leading Republican opponent Karen Harrington and two independent candidates.



Republican Pam Bondi defeated Democrat Dan Gelber of Miami Beach by about 15 percentage points in a hotly contested race for Florida attorney general. Republican Jeff Atwater defeated Democrat Loranne Ausley by 20 percentage points to become the state's chief financial officer.



Most polls closed at 7 p.m in Miami-Dade and Broward counties and at 8 p.m. in the Panhandle. Election Day proceeded without major glitches, though a few mishaps cropped up after polls opened at 7 a.m.



Shortly after 8 p.m., Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes said there were still voters waiting in line at some precincts. At one polling site, Snipers said, a ballot-scanning machine failed to work and ballots were placed in an emergency bin to be counted later. Snipes said Broward would post the night's final unofficial results shortly before midnight.



Most voting in Miami-Dade also went smoothly, reported county spokeswoman Marie Bertot. In one glitch, voters at Aventura Community Recreation Center found themselves casting ballots in the dark late Tuesday morning after power at the center and surrounding neighborhood went down for about 45 minutes. Lights went back on about 11:15 a.m., eliciting a few cheers.



At the Country Walk Park Recreation Center in Southwest Miami-Dade, witnesses and an elections spokeswoman said one voter received an incorrect ballot. Bertot said the problem was caught before the ballot was cast.



Complaints were also lodged against logistical problems at precincts.



At Ferguson Senior High in Southwest Miami-Dade, voters complained that while their precinct was located on the school's second floor, the elevator granting access was locked, and security had to let people in to vote.



Congestion from the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show caused parking problems outside the International Swimming Hall of Fame, and led elections representatives to move the hall's precinct to Virginia Shuman Young Elementary.



Long lines were also a problem outside some precincts in Hialeah and Miami.



Voters waited about 40 minutes to cast ballots at Jose Marti Gymnasium in east Little Havana, a wait exacerbated by a lengthy ballot.



Almost 3 million of the state's roughly 11 million registered voters cast absentee or early ballots, according to state spokeswoman Jennifer Krell Davis.



That's low compared to the 2008 presidential elections, but Davis said the turnout is considerable for a mid-term election.

Elections director confident in county's touch-screen machines

Graham - exactly the problems with some touch screen voting machines across the country, does not mean that there are no problems here, as director of the Municipal Council Alamance Election Commission.

"The problem is much more common than originally realized, NC GOP", said Branch.



According to voters in the body of a few people who have accidentally pressed the button by pressing between Democratic and Republican candidates have counted their votes for the Democratic candidate, because these machines have default settings for Democratic candidates.



NC GOP and asked if the iVotronic voting machines are calibrated before use.



"If the machine is properly calibrated always match the democratic vote of all kinds, just Republican voters their votes miscounted the extent that some or many voters for errors before submitting the vote electronically," the letter said Branch.



Based on these allegations, GOP NF asked the State Election Board requires the election judges and employees of the city to give notice in writing and orally to all voters using iVotronic voting machines had some problems with machines that voters should be careful their votes are accurately recorded.



Alamance County Board Select Board, Kathy Holland, said he has no problems with voting machines accuracy early in Alamance County.

Twenty-three countries around the state can use iVotronic voting machines Tuesday's general election. State Office for the selection of CEO Gary Bartlett said in a letter by the Director General on 28 October.

"Problems that are different from those that can not be solved in all elections. "



Bartlett said that voters in countries Craven and New Hanover during the early voting, which uses the iVotronic machines that their votes were recorded incorrectly. Bartlett said the voting machines and warned voters the opportunity to reconsider their vote and make changes before the final vote was cast.

Each machine also has a verification system iVotronic records for every vote to maintain accuracy. Netherlands, said that recent problems with accuracy and in other areas are isolated incidents.



Bartlett said the allegations of energy are some machines set the standard for recording votes for Democratic candidates.



Machines are not beyond the scope of verification is that the Republican vote should be recorded as votes for other candidates, Democratic or liberal, "said Bartlett." The software can highlight those candidates, voters with disabilities. If the machine has lost its calibration, or if the voter inadvertently contacts the wrong side of the screen, then the electoral vote reflects the intention. For security reasons, each voter is required to screen iVotronic voting to consider the total votes in the polls and to correct or change it if necessary. "



There will be plenty of warning notices to all voters in municipal elections in Alamance County voters Tuesday informed the sensitivity iVotronic system. Holland says these signs will be placed on the voter registration tables and voting machines, the main area.

Kansas Democrats allege that a pro-Republican group is attempting to mislead and intimidate voters with automated telephone calls claiming the election occurs on Wednesday.




The robo-calls tell voters to bring their voter registration card and proof of home-ownership to the polls on Wednesday, November 3rd.



Voters in Kansas are not required to provide those documents to vote and the election occurs on Tuesday, November 2nd. First-time voters only need to bring proof of their name and address, such as a driver's license.



The Kansas Democratic Party claims to have traced the calls to "an as yet unnamed Republican organization
There is no place for voter intimidation in our electoral process," said Kansas Democratic Party Chairman Larry Gates. "Every Kansas voter should feel comfortable with their right to cast a ballot and understand tactics like these are lies meant to scare them away from exercising their right."




The state's Attorney General has launched an investigation into the misleading calls.



"We opened an investigation into potential voter intimidation," said Gavin Young, a spokesman for the Attorney General. "In Kansas, misleading individuals about their vote is a felony."



Young said the investigation will continue regardless of what happens after Tuesday's elections.



The Kansas Republican Party denies any involvement with the robo-calls.



"The Kansas Republican Party clearly identifies ourselves at the beginning of every volunteer and robo-call we originate in accordance with state laws," said Ashley McMillan, the executive director of the party.



Kansas Secretary of State Chris Biggs said in a release, "Every eligible Kansas voter should expect to cast their ballot without undue interference, harassment or obstacle on Tuesday, November 2nd."
