Professor Norpoth developed a model that, applied retroactively in earlier races, would have correctly predicted the winner of every presidential election since 1912 — with the exception of 2000, when predicted winner Al Gore barely lost to George W. Bush. The model looks at which of the candidates performed better in the primaries and caucuses and concludes that the str

Spiritual woman Pam Shetron claims she knows the solution to Forrest Fenn's riddle on buried treasure.

She said the poem leads to the Christ of the Mines Shrine in Silverton, Colo., but there is no treasure box at that location — just silent, peaceful spirituality. “This is a spiritual journey Mr. Fenn is taking us on. It’s about faith,” she wrote on her blog June 23. “You can’t see faith, but you may have it. You have faith the chest you never saw is out there somewhere north of Santa Fe. Seeing is not always believing. Have faith in all you can not see, but choo

THINK BEFORE YOU SHARE  Kelly Manning the vigilante 'Mommy Warrior' from Melbourne, Australia who falsely accused an innocent father of being a creep and posted his picture on social media this month has perhaps learned a valuable lesson in spreading unfounded gossip Her Post "Ok people,take a look at this creep.Today at Knox he approached my children when they were sitting at the frozen movie in the children's clothing section,he said "hey kids"they looked up and he took a photo,then he said I'm sending this to a 16 yr old.I immediately removed the kids from that area and took them to security at the front so I then followed them and took his picture and he took off.Centre management were straight onto and so are the police,hopefully he is caught.Police said if he is a registered sex offender he will be charged,this happened at Knox,be safe with your kids" She has since changed her facebook account name to avoid unwanted identification and re

Aly asked: “You and Fev were going to donate money to the charity. There’s been the audit. It wraps up next week. You are about to land back in Australia and land in the middle of that issue. What are you doing about that the moment you get back home?” After firing back that he had been in “Guantanamo Bay” for six weeks and done “13 hours of PR straight,” Warnie wasted no time in telling Aly that it was disappointing that people want to criticise “good people that have raised money and made a serious difference to underprivileged children”. “You can get stuffed if you want to... have a go at us but we are very proud of what we have been a

The ABS responded to the furore with another statement on its website by statistician David Kalisch. “The ABS never has and never will release identifiable Census data,” Mr Kalisch said. In response to media reports that raised concerns that privacy legislation could be changed to remove existing protections, he said: “Privacy of data collected is a fundamental pillar of an official statistical system. In Australia these protections have existed since the foundation of the Australian Bureau of Statistics in 1905. This will not change.”

She said the centre’s total turnover was up 16 per cent in the last 12 months, and that January and February were “traditionally quieter months”. “The ticketless parking system implemented last year has eased congestion and has stopped commuters pa

On the latest episode of Q&A, an audience member asked whether our approach to dealing with Islamic State is too “cautious” in terms of infringing human rights and offending our Muslim population. “It is inevitable that we are going to see some kind of terrorist attack here in Australia,” said David Kilcullen. “I don’t mean to be pessimistic, but I think we have to be realistic that if you think the Government can protect you from any kind of terrorist attack, you are living in dream land. Just like these things happen in other countries, they will inevitably happen in Australia also.” However, he said we need to tread carefully in terms of how we address the issue. “It’s worth rememberi
