Is this Britain's smartest schoolboy? 11-year-old boy with higher IQ than Einstein
(yes original headline)
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/britains-smartest-schoolboy-11-year-old-boy-4056609
AN 11-year-old schoolboy has joined Mensa after scoring higher than Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and Albert Einstein in an IQ test.
Ramarni Wilfred started showing signs of genius as a toddler, when his favourite book was an encyclopedia.
He could read and write by the time he started reception at school and last year, at the age of 10 and still in primary school, wrote a philosophy paper on fairness that earned him a 2:1 and a mock Oxford graduation.
When his reception class wanted to move him up a year, mum Anthea objected, wanting him to grow up with other kids his age.

Conservative Senator (Coburn): 'There Are Some Shows On Fox I Can't Watch' (VIDEO)
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/tom-coburn-oklahoma-senator-fox-newsOklahoma's Tom Coburn is one of the most conservative senators, but sometimes Fox News is even too much for him.
The retiring Coburn was asked by a constituent during a town hall this week in Tulsa, Okla. what he would do if he were "in charge of media and communications in this country."
"How would you fix us so we are not focused on the superficial but on wisdom and transmitting that among the people?" the constituent asked.
After telling the man he hopes "nobody's ever in charge of media and communications in this country," Coburn surveyed the triumvirate of cable news channels.

California’s Record Heat Is Like Nothing You’ve Ever Seen... Yet
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-08-15/california-s-record-heat-is-like-nothing-you-ve-ever-seen-yet.htmlIf hot thermometers actually exploded like they do in cartoons, there would be a lot of mercury to clean up in California right now.
The California heat this year is like nothing ever seen, with records that go back to 1895. The chart below shows average year-to-date temperatures in the state from January through July for each year. The orange line shows the trend rising 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit per decade.
The sharp spike on the far right of the chart is the unbearable heat of 2014. That’s not just a new record; it’s a chart-busting 1.4 degrees higher than the previous record. It’s an exclamation point at the end of a long declarative sentence.

The argument, made by Ernst in April, was flagged by The Plum Line's Greg Sargent on Friday. It was part of Ernst laying out her opposition to Iowa expanding Medicaid. Here's the key passage:
Ernst's campaign told Sargent that she was referring to "bureaucrats overseeing the program." Here's the response from Ernst spokeswoman Gretchen Hamel:
