WHEELER: Why Herman Cain is surging - Washington Times
The Washington Times: "By Sept. 27, Zogby released a poll showing Mr. Cain with a strong lead over the rest of the field. I pointed this out to several Washington insiders, who immediately dismissed it and said Zogby’s polls can’t be trusted. I pointed out to them that their opinion of Zogby was irrelevant because it was posted on the Drudge Report, and all over the country, people would be realizing that Mr. Cain could win. I predicted to the naysayers at that time that Mr. Cain would come up in the other polls and soon could be out in front. The past two weeks have validated that analysis."

A powerful adoption story from Lifenews.com:
The news hit me in the gut. I couldn’t believe I was seeing those few numbers, communicating his passing, beneath his photo: 1955-2011. Steve Jobs has, literally, changed the world. I’m typing this on my Mac, will check my emails and Twitter status on my iPad, and will stay in touch with everyone I love through my iPhone.
As a creative professional, his visionary work has helped my own visions become reality.
But his vision, his destiny and his ability to affect people, globally, may never have happened. Jobs was adopted as a baby and loved by his parents, Clara and Paul Jobs. The baby they took into their hearts and home had a purpose in life that would be unleashed by the powerful act of adoption.

New Evacuations in Wilkes-Barre
Even though the Susquehanna River crested early Friday morning, city officials called for new evacuations when some streets began taking on water. With high water on Weir Street in the Brookside section of Wilkes-Barre, emergency crews used boats Friday morning to get people out of their homes. Those who tried to ride out the rising river and the previous evacuation order quickly realized it was too much. "I tried, I tried. I left my cat. Nervous wreck, what are you going to do?" said Alan Montijo. Firefighters went door to door advising people to leave as the water reached North Pennsylvania Avenue.
