Chris Redding, Author: Tace Baker

Authorsday

Thanks so much for having me over, Chris!

1. When did you know you wanted to be a writer?

I started writing fiction as soon as I could write. I remember writing a little book in first grade, and by third grade my mother told me, ?Edie, you?re a good writer.? That one little comment has stuck with me my entire life. (My sweet mother passed away in April and did not get to see this book in print, but I thanked her several times before that for encouraging me to keep writing.)

2. How did you pick the genre you write in?

I love reading mysteries. Many years ago, my now ex-husband said, ?You like to read mysteries so much. Why don?t you write one?? Well, duh! So I did. Thanks, John.

3. What was the name of the first novel you wrote?

Did you try to publish it? SPEAKING OF MURDER is the first novel I finished! And it came out last week.

4. What was the best writing advice someone gave you?

The classic, ?Butt in the chair, fingers on the keyboard.? It totally works. Sometimes I?ll sit there with no idea of what happens next in the story. I?ll start typing, I DON?T KNOW WHAT TO WRITE. And then, WELL, I DID WANT TO WRITE THAT SCENE WHERE? and off I go, only to surface hours later. Works every time.

5. Tell me one thing about yourself that very few people know?

I earned a black belt in karate at age 31.

6. What place that you haven?t visited would you like to go?

Although I have lived in far-flung places like Brazil, Japan, and West Africa, I still haven?t made it to Australia, China, India, Tahiti, or even Germany. With any luck I have a few decades left in my life to get there.

7. What do you do when you are not writing?

Oh, so much. I work full time writing software manuals. I tend an organic vegetable garden. I love cooking. I read. I go for a long brisk walk every day or hit the elliptical strider at the gym and then lift weights. Sometimes I even sleep.

8. What is the one thing your hero would do that you wouldn?t?

Sigh. She?s a runner. My knees just don?t run anymore, but they used to, and I loved the feeling of a long Sunday run when all body parts were working smoothly together.

9. Where do you write?

Mostly I write at my beautiful desk in my home office, but I have been productive on cross-country plane flights and in coffee shops.

What was your favorite scene to write?

The long suspense scene where Lauren puts herself in danger to rescue someone else. Can?t say more than that!

PlayLater

It's a simple yet compelling proposition: You've got Netflix and Hulu accounts that let you watch shows on your desktop or laptop PC, but what if you want to take those to a smaller screen like your phone or tablet, or to a larger screen like your HDTV? And what if one of the devices doesn't have an Internet connection, like when you're on a plane? To the rescue comes PlayLater, a follow-on app and service from the folks who brought us PlayOn, a streaming server. The service and software costs $24.99 a year or $49.99 for a lifetime license. Though PlayLater lives up to this billing, using it is not as instantaneous a process as we've become used to in our media consumption, and there are simpler alternatives.

Setup/Signup
You get started with PlayLater by downloading the Windows software?sorry Mac fans, there's no Mac OS X version at present. When you run the installer program, it actually downloads and installs PlayOn first, since PlayLater relies on PlayOn functions. PlayOn lets you stream video from your PC to a device such as an Xbox, Roku , or iOS tablet. The installer adds icons for both apps to the system tray from which you can show the app's main windows. I had to allow PlayLater access through my Windows firewall before it would work.

Interface
When you start PlayLater, its main window shows a grid of 46 video sources, such as Netflix, HBO Go, PBS, and pretty much every TV provider that has a Web streaming site. But there's a big one missing?YouTube?and you can't simply add any website with video content you like. There is a "plug-in" feature, but the link to information on this offered no help. The simple interface has but four buttons across the top?Guide (which shows the same network grid), My Recordings, Settings, and Help.

Recording Shows
Naturally, you have to log in to the video site you want to use. I chose Netflix, which showed a long button saying "Please set Netflix login in PlayOn Sett?" Pressing this button didn't open the settings, but when I clicked the main Settings button, and then chose the Channels tab, I saw the option for Netflix login, along with those for the rest of the 46 content providers. A Test button let me check whether my login was working.

When I tried Netflix, I could browse genres, new arrivals, and my instant queue, but my "Suggestions for you" picks could not be found. Even without logging into Hulu, I could browse genres, see new arrivals, see show and episode listings, and actually start recording them. I clicked on the M.A.N.T.I.S. entry, and then Full Episodes. From here, I downloaded a show episode, and I could also add more shows to my download queue. To my relief, the show didn't have to be playing on my PC to download it: the download happened in the background, though it did take nearly as long as watching the show would have.

Downloading my 45-minute test show took 37 minutes on a reasonably fast cable network, and the resulting file weighed in at 740MB?so not the most efficient codec is used: A half hour show can look fine with 250MB in some formats. After this, its status in My Recordings changed to Recording, so there's more to it than just downloading. This step took another 17 minutes and ballooned the file to 965MB.

The Cutlass : School lunches undergo more change

Haley Marconett, Opinion Editor
September 25, 2012
Filed under Opinion

Along with all of the other changes in the school this year, the school lunches have undergone a makeover. Some students may enjoy this change, but the vast majority of the school says that with all of the other changes going on, school lunches should have at least stayed the same.

Last year, Michelle Obama instituted a new healthy eating plan for schools, which Belton picked up and has used ever since. This plan tries to ensure that kids get more fruits and/or vegetables and nutrients while taking in less fats. That was last year, and things were all fine and dandy. However, this year the school has tried to institute a new rule that forces kids to get at least one fruit or vegetable: this is where the problem resides for students.

At the beginning of every school year, students find that prices for school lunch rises. Not only that, but throughout the years, what has been served has dramatically changed. While the most popular main course used to be flat, rectangular slices of pizza, it has now changed to semi-greasy, triangular ?real? pizza. Not only that, but lunch items used to change around each day, now it?s basically the same set up monday through friday, with no variation.

Standard lunch for this school year is chicken nuggets, pizza, or nachos for the main course; mashed potatoes or scalloped potatoes for the side dish; and either a cup of fruit juice, bananas, or apples for our required fruit. The problem with this is that the school lunches aren?t changing throughout the week as they usually do. It?s predictable, which makes students want to bring their own lunch because frankly, those options just aren?t very appealing to most.

Along with the lack of variation in the lunch options, the new rule that students have to get a fruit or vegetable has gotten out of hand. Within the first week of school, who knows just how much food was wasted by disrespectful students who felt the need to openly make their opinion known by throwing their fruit straight into the trash as they left the lunch line. The idea behind the new rule was a good one, but all students just aren?t going to handle being told what they can and cannot get. There are so many people that could have been helped with the fruit wasted in the first week, it could have been donated to a homeless shelter in the Kansas City area instead.

The rumors that were spread around by students about the fruit rule were ridiculous, and who knows if they are even true? One of the more outstanding topics of conversation in the first week of school was that if students don?t get a fruit, they get charged more for their lunch. This enraged students, should they not be able to buy what they want with their money? School lunches now allow students to get one main course, one side dish, one fruit/vegetable, and one drink. Students aren?t allowed to substitute their fruit for another side dish. Here lies another problem and complaint by students.

The kitchen staff has been trying hard to make things more efficient and run smoother in the lunchroom. They now pre-dish the sides out, which makes things run better, but students also find something wrong with this idea. The potatoes will harden from sitting out for so long which makes the one side option that students do get, even less appealing. They have also been pre-dishing the fruits and stacking things nicely. Things in the kitchen seem to run much more smoothly than in previous years, which is something to be thankful for.

With the end of the first quarter quickly approaching, it?s hard for students to appreciate the small things the the school is trying accomplish. The fruit rule was put in place to try to make students healthier. The kitchen staff has been pre-dishing sides and fruits to try and make things run more smoothly for students and themselves. The extra work and extra thought put into these rules and regulations should far outweigh the annoyance that students have with the lunches. As the year moves on, students will adjust and become accustomed to the new ways of the lunchroom.

Starting Your own personal Personal Training Business

Working out under the supervision of an qualified fitness trainer is essential if you'd like success with the fitness plan. Even though you zero recorded on the chin area ups as being the selected exercise, you do not be able to keep it in check on your own.

Find a mentor. Visit the boot camps in the area and consult the owners and also trainers. Say to them that you are a brand new outdoor personal trainer and you want to learn at their store. Successful everyone loves to help other individuals get on. You may well be able to assist in some classes to watch and also learn. Present to buy all of them coffee or even breakfast after having a session and you may get the opportunity must them with regard to advice.

Eating morning meal can stop you over eating later in the day time. If you don't feel hungry in the morning, odds are you're eating too much at night. This is a habit you must change. Meal should be your smallest meal of the day as you don't need strength while you sleeping. When you start obtaining smaller meals you may really feel slightly starving at bed time. However, you simply can't feel food cravings while you sleeping. Take advantage of this with a small evening meal and placing your body around burn fat because you sleep. Each and every morning you'll awaken feeling rejuvenated and starving for breakfast following your nights fat burning.

One particular task to be able to outsource could be your taxes. Having a person employed to maintain your accounts informed and to consult with you your tax responsibilities and opportunities can reduce your problems and allow that you concentrate on what one does best.

A thing of notice with species of fish; Make smart choices, sadly there is the disadvantage of mercury articles.

Try to avoid tuna fish, flake and also barramundi.

Mom and also baby - Numerous mothers would like to get out of the house to be able to workout and in addition they can also help to make new buddies for perform dates.

What are your competitors receiving and how will you be different from all of them? Unless you can differentiate yourself straight away (which you likely can't), you are going to have to be pretty in close proximity to what other instructors are receiving for related services. At the conclusion of the day, it's really down to the cash for most consumers. If they do not feel that it is possible to adequately justify charging all of them significantly more as compared to your competitors, they may leave and there goes your referrals with them.

In my opinion, like a professional fitness trainer means currently being sufficiently qualified, educated, with experience, dressed well, and also respected in the health care process.

Fitness lovers start a personal training enterprise to not only aid people, but also enjoy a healthful personal trainer income. Numerous professionals really feel why not get paid for doing anything they appreciate - fitness.|

Exercising using a friend or even partner has lots of advantages.

If you exercise routine with anyone who has a similar level of fitness and also related goals, you may find extra motivation available as good old fashioned levels of competition too!

You don't have to master every skill over.

Jimmy Kimmel Opens The Emmys With Help From TV?s Leading Ladies, Jabs At Romney And GOP

video

Jimmy Kimmel hosted the Emmy Awards on Sunday night, but getting there wasn?t easy. As the show opened, we found a sobbing Kimmel in the lady?s room backstage, traumatized by a Botox job gone awry. Thankfully, a cast of some of television?s female actors ? from Zooey Deschanel and Mindy Kaling to Kathy Bates and Christina Hendricks ? were there to ?punch it back in? for Kimmel.

And the ever-reliable Ellen DeGeneres was there to lend him her pants.

Kimmel finally made it on stage, and kicked things off with a nod to the inventor of television, thanking him (?Nice job, dumbass?) for bringing us the likes of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.

And then things got political. Noting that Downton Abbey ?is an amazing show,? Kimmel remarked that it ?gives you a sense of what it must have been like to grow up in Mitt Romney?s house.? Asking the crowd who they?re voting for, Kimmel observed, ?Being a Republican in Hollywood is like being a Chik-Fil-A sandwich on the snack table on Glee.?

Kimmel ended on a more self-depracating note, remarking that the night was an occasion to ?honor one thing we in Hollywood love more than anything else: ourselves.? After all, that?s how the Emmys were named. Emmy = M-E. Me.

Natalie Portman goes blonde for film role

Alex J. Berliner / ABImages via AP

Natalie Portman attends the opening night performance of L.A. Dance Project on Saturday, Sept. 22.

By Us Weekly

Blonde Swan! Newlywed Natalie Portman made headline hair news over the weekend when the normally brunette beauty, 31, debuted sunny blonde hair at the Van Cleef & Arpels Dinner for L.A. Dance Project on Saturday.

PHOTOS: Natalie's gorgeous pregnancy

The Oscar-winning actress -- who hung out with husband Benjamin Millepied and Robert Pattinson at the bash -- told fellow revelers that the startling-but-stunning new look is for a film role, although she didn't elaborate.

A-list colorist Tracey Cunningham did the honors for Portman, who's the face of Miss Dior Cherie fragrance.

PHOTOS: Hair switchups in Hollywood

"Natalie makes a beautiful blonde!" Cunningham tells Us Weekly. "She needed to make the change for an upcoming movie role, and using Redken's Blonde Dimensions we achieved a gorgeous, multi-dimensional golden blonde."

The last time fans saw Portman go blonde, the star briefly wore a blonde bob wig playing a stripper who seduces Jude Law in "Closer."

PHOTOS: Natalie and other famous vegetarians

She and French-born dancer-choreographer Millepied, 35, are parents to son Aleph, 15 months, and they tied the know in Big Sur, Calif., last month. Although Portman new 'do confirms she's continuing to work, she's also relishing motherhood, a source recently told Us.

"She has this glow about her these days. ... There's been a change in her since the little man arrived. She and Benjamin are so content."

China delays diplomatic reception with Japan

BEIJING | Sun Sep 23, 2012 6:54am EDT

BEIJING (Reuters) - China has postponed a ceremony marking the 40th anniversary of the resumption of diplomatic ties with Japan as a result of a territorial row between the two countries, the official Xinhua news agency said on Sunday.

A dispute over uninhabited islands in the East China Sea, known as the Diaoyu in China and the Senkaku in Japan, erupted into a full-scale diplomatic row this month after the Tokyo government bought the islands from private Japanese landowners.

China's foreign ministry had hinted on Friday that events marking the 1972 switch in diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China would be affected, when it said "many plans had been ruined" by the Tokyo government's actions.

Japanese media had said China was likely to go ahead with the large-scale ceremony on Thursday in Beijing.

On Sunday, Xinhua quoted an official of the China People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) that there "would be a change", when asked by a reporter when the ceremony would take place.

"The Japanese government.... insisted on 'buying' the Diaoyu Islands, which was illegal and severely damaged China-Japan relations and ruined the atmosphere of the 40th anniversary," Xinhua said.

The row sparked four days of sometimes violent protests in Chinese cities last week, with Japanese businesses shutting hundreds of stores and factories.

Sino-Japanese ties have long been plagued by China's bitter memories of Japan's military aggression in the 1930s and 1940s and present rivalry over resources. The seabed around the islands is believed to be energy-rich.

iPhone 5 VS: What Android and Windows Need to Fix

iPhone 5 vs this phone, iPhone 5 vs that phone. Since its release the iPhone 5 has been compared to other phones on the market, both Android and Windows. And while there are a lot of things that each respective phone does better than the others, there are fundamental issues that each need to resolve in order to gain more of an edge over the iPhone 5.

Windows

Windows phones haven?t had the greatest reputation the past couple of years but the Nokia Lumia 920 may be looking to change that. In the ?iPhone 5 vs Lumia 920? debate, the Lumia has a clear advantage when it comes to things like camera quality and even screen size and resolution. But there is something that is definitely holding back the Lumia 920 and Windows phones in general. The Windows platform has yet to create a formidable apps market comparable to that of Android or iOS. Maybe Windows 8 will help attract more developers, but Microsoft?s pricing plan for apps may become an issue for consumers as they would be more expensive than current iOS and Android apps.

Android

It?s hard to generalize about Android phones and how they compare to the iPhone because there are so many of them and each has varying screen size, processing power, camera quality and other features. But there is something that the iPhone undoubtedly has over Android and it has to do with the operating systems. Most people turn to preference when looking at iOS or Android but there is something that I think even Android users are annoyed about. When iOS 6 came out, owners of iOS devices everywhere had the option to update. Android fans on the other hand aren?t as lucky. Android updates tend to roll out in a more fragmented sequence with some phones receiving updates sooner than others. Some phones are still running Android 2.3 because updates have not been made available. What Android gains in having an open source approach it loses in being able to easily manage and distribute.

Neither of these problems is permanent and each can definitely be improved upon. And when the Windows platform has strong apps and Android updates have a more streamlined updating process, phones like the Lumia 920 and Galaxy SIII will have a stronger edge in future ?iPhone 5 vs? debates.

Congress exits Washington to hit campaign trail

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The most partisan, least productive Congress in memory has skipped out of Washington for the campaign trail.

The Senate shuttered the Capitol soon after sending President Barak Obama stopgap spending legislation that will make sure the government won't shut down on Oct. 1. It passed early Saturday morning by a 62-30 vote.

Left behind for a postelection session is a pile of unfinished business on the budget and taxes, farm policy and legislation to save the Postal Service from insolvency.

The GOP-controlled House had beat its retreat Friday morning after taking one last, futile slap at Obama ? passing a bill entitled the "Stop the War on Coal Act." The measure, dead on arrival in the Senate, was aimed at boosting the coal industry in its battle against new environmental regulations while hurting Obama's political prospects in coal states like Ohio and Virginia.

The Democratic-controlled Senate's middle-of-the-night session came after a spitting match between Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and the chamber's Republicans over Reid's insistence on advancing legislation by Sen. Jon Tester of Montana to boost access to public lands for hunting and fishing. Tester is perhaps the Senate's most endangered Democrat and Republicans protested that he was being given special treatment in a nakedly political move to boost his reelection chances. The measure eventually cleared a procedural hurdle on a sweeping 84-7 vote.

The votes came at midnight to give senators who had scattered from Washington time to return. Democrat Claire McCaskill was in Missouri Friday for a debate, while Michael Bennet, D-Colo., had been in the southwest portion of his state to attend a ceremony celebrating the new Chimney Rock National Monument. Tea party star Marco Rubio, R-Fla., was venting his frustrations with American Airlines on Twitter.

The only must-do item on the get-out-of-Dodge agenda was a six-month spending measure to fulfill the bare minimum of Congress' responsibilities by keeping the government running after the current budget year ends on Sept. 30.

The spending measure permits spending on agency operating budgets at levels agreed to under last summer's hard-fought budget and debt deal between Obama and Capitol Hill Republicans. That's 0.6 percent increase from current spending rates, which represents a defeat for House Republicans, who had sought to cut about 2 percent below the budget deal and shift $8 billion from domestic programs to the Pentagon.

Reid also relented to a monthslong demand by tea party Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., for a vote on suspending foreign aid to the governments of Libya, Egypt and Pakistan. Paul only got 10 votes. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., however, won sweeping approval of a nonbinding resolution supporting steps to make sure Iran doesn't develop a nuclear weapon.

It's the earliest pre-election exit by Congress from Washington since 1960, though lawmakers will return in November after the election to deal with its stack of unfinished work.

The approval rating for the current Congress in a Gallup poll earlier this month sank to just 13 percent, the lowest ever for an election year. The GOP-controlled House and Democratic Senate managed to come together with Obama to enact just 173 new laws. More are coming after the election, but the current tally is roughly half the output of a typical Congress.

Even so, political pundits say Republicans are strong favorites to keep the House while Democratic chances of keeping the Senate are on the upswing with Obama's rise in the polls.

The exit from Washington leaves the bulk of Congress' agenda for a postelection session in which it's hoped lawmakers will be liberated from the election-year paralysis that has ground Capitol Hill to a near halt.

Topping the lame-duck agenda was dealing with the so-called fiscal cliff, which combines the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts on Dec. 31 and more than $100 billion in indiscriminate, across-the-board spending cuts set to strike at the same time as punishment for the failure of last year's deficit "supercommittee" to strike a deal.

Also left in limbo is the farm bill, stalled in the House due to opposition from conservative Republicans who think it doesn't cut farm subsidies and food stamps enough and Democrats who think its food stamp cuts are too harsh.

The current farm act expires on Sept. 30 but the lapse won't have much practical effect in the near term. Still, it's a political black eye for Republicans, especially those from farm states like North Dakota and Iowa.

The lack of productivity of the 112th Congress was the result of divided government and bitter partisanship. Die-hard GOP conservatives eager to roll back Obama's agenda barreled headlong into an official Washington still largely controlled by Democrats ? and oftentimes seemed to limit the options of their own leadership with their intransigence. The looming presidential and congressional elections caused top leaders in both parties to play it safe and stick to party positions.

The result: Congress' major accomplishments tended to be legislation that mostly extended current policies, like a highway bill passed earlier this year and bills demanded by Obama to renew a 2 percentage point payroll tax cuts and extend student loan subsidies.

Even this Congress' signature accomplishment ? a budget and debt deal enacted last summer to cut $2.1 trillion from the budget over 10 years ? punted most of its difficult decisions to the future by tasking the supercommittee with finding at least $1.2 trillion in deficit savings.

And, after the supercommittee cratered, House Republicans walked away from the budget deal by pressing for further cuts to domestic appropriations and reversing some on the pact's Pentagon cuts.

Meanwhile, in the Senate, Reid worked closely with the White House to use the Senate schedule for Obama's political advantage, repeatedly forcing votes on closing tax breaks for oil companies and raising taxes on upper bracket earners.

But Reid failed to schedule floor debates on any of the 12 annual appropriations bills and the Democratic-led chamber, for the third year in a row, failed to pass a budget.

Republicans also point to almost 40 items of House-passed jobs-related legislation sitting stalled in the Senate.

"They haven't passed a budget in more than three years. They have no plan to save Medicare, no plan to stop all the tax hikes, and no plan to replace the sequester," Boehner said. "This isn't leadership. It is negligence."

Democrats defending the Senate point out that the balky chamber managed several bills that the House would not, including a renewal of farm programs and legislation to overhaul the Postal Service and give it an infusion of cash to stave off insolvency.

"The reality is for as closely as divided as this Senate is, we passed a large number of bipartisan bills this year, very important bills, but as you all know, it takes two chambers to pass a law," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. "On the other side, too many of the Congress members, particularly the tea party folks, think compromise is a dirty word."

Safety In Social Media | Internet Marketing Ezine

There are a number of groups and foundations dedicated to the constant research of information regarding Internet safety. Most importantly, these groups collaborate safety tips that need to be understood for online social networking.

Below is a list of the most important safety tips that every social media enthusiast should become aware of when they want to become active online.

Learn how each social networking site works before you join. Understand if your information is private, semi-private (controlled by you) or completely publicly available

Control the information you post. You might want to restrict access to your page/account to a select group of people like friends and family

You don?t have to post your full name. This is a personal decision. There is never a need to post other info like address, phone number, or bank and credit card account numbers. Avoid publishing any info that could identify your offline location.

Create an anonymous screen name. Don?t use your name, your age, or your hometown.

Remember that many people can see your page. This may include parents, kids, colleagues, your boss, your employees, etc? Once the information is posted online, it is out in the public forever. Make sure you are okay with what is being broadcast.

You don?t have to post a picture of yourself. This is always optional and you should consider that your photo is now publicly available.

Understand that social media sites can be very anonymous and that people you meet online can easily fake who they are. Consider all online friends as virtual unless you know have actually met them in person.

Be careful when clicking on links that have been sent or posted to your account. They may appear to come from a friend but may have been maliciously placed there by someone who wants to send you to an untrusted site.

Avoid allowing social media sites to connect to your address book. In doing so, you may be giving away the email address of friends who do not authorize the sharing of their information. You might want to send a personal email to a friend if you would like to invite them to a new site. That way, they can check out the site and decide to join on their own terms.

Google Granted Pseudonym Patent (You?re Welcome. And, What Is Wrong With You)

This week Google was granted a patent for "Social computing personas for protecting identity in online social interactions"; in other words, "a pseudonym could be presented as someone?s name based upon their choices of who would see that name or their 'real' name." Sound familiar? It does to me. Two months before the patent was filed, I wrote here "Suppose Google ... let Plus users define which of their Circles see their real names, while others can only see their nicknames?" I know, I know. You don't patent ideas, you patent implementations. I was interested enough to fight my way through the legal wording and try to work out what they're actually talking about. (Which was not easy, incidentally, even though I'm an experienced software engineer; patentese is incredibly hard to read.) There are a few nifty ideas in there: "one-time anonymous personae" and "a single persona with multiple users." Cool. But there's really no breathtaking insight or brilliant solution. The whole thing just seems like a very competent solution to the problem of online pseudonyms, one much like that which any other small group of good programmers would have designed. I don't mean to come down on Google. Their patent policies are much better than those of most tech companies. But I bet most Google engineers -- along with the overwhelming majority of software engineers in general -- would agree with the following statement in a heartbeat: most software patents are total bullshit.

Obama gaining in battleground state contributions

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Showing impressive momentum, President Barack Obama raised more in high-dollar contributions than Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney during the last two months in 10 of 11 battleground states that are pivotal to win the presidential election, according to an analysis of new campaign financial reports by The Associated Press.

Importantly, Romney's campaign has raised more money from donors who gave over $200 than Obama's organization overall since May in four of those 11 battleground states ? in some cases by wide margins, such as $21 million for Romney in Florida versus $11.2 million there for Obama. And nationally, Romney has continued to out-fundraise Obama.

Yet Obama made especially impressive gains last month in Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

The new financial figures, current through the end of August, do not reflect a slam dunk for Obama's campaign. But as much as the act of donating more than $200 to a politician is a measure of popular support, the figures present another challenge for Romney in key states with only six weeks before Election Day.

They also represent a precursor to what has been one of the most difficult periods in Romney's candidacy. Romney has struggled this week to quell controversy over a secretly recorded video in which he told donors that 47 percent of the country pays no taxes and is dependent on government, amid fresh signs of a national housing rebound and growing support for Obama in public opinion polls.

For example, in Florida, with its 29 winner-take-all electoral votes, Obama raised $5.5 million in itemized contributions in July and August compared to $3.7 million for Romney during the same period. In Ohio, with 18 electoral votes and also considered a keystone for a winning campaign, Obama raised $2.3 million compared to $1.3 million for Romney, during the same period.

The AP's analysis doesn't include the tens of millions of dollars in advertisements from super political action committees and doesn't include details about donors who gave fewer than $200 because they aren't required to be listed on the federal reports.

"The president's picking up traction in battleground states he carried before," said R. Donahue Peebles, a major Obama fundraiser in New York. "As the election nears, people are paying more attention. The donors who had been sitting on the sidelines are now getting involved and are more engaged."

Obama four years ago broke presidential fundraising records but has found himself financially outgunned for much of the summer, thanks in part to super PACs supporting Romney. Those groups have been largely bankrolled by wealthy Americans and have flourished under recent legal changes that loosened campaign-finance regulations. Obama has similar groups working in his favor, although not as successfully.

Obama's campaign pulled in $114 million in August, slightly more than Romney's $111.6 million. Unlike Obama, Romney raised more than $100 million nationwide for at least three consecutive months this summer.

Romney and the Republican Party had $168.5 million cash on hand versus Obama and the Democrats' $125 million left in the bank. Romney also took out a $20 million loan on Aug. 22; he had repaid at least $5 million of that by the end of August, reports show.

For Obama, pulling ahead of Romney hasn't been easy, particularly for a campaign that has repeatedly and publicly acknowledged it will be outspent. Romney showed remarkable successes in some battleground states earlier this year. He raised $7.6 million in Florida in May, compared to $1.5 million for Obama; Romney raised $3.7 million in Ohio in June compared to $545,000 for Obama.

In Virginia, which broke tradition in 2008 and awarded its 13 electoral votes to Obama, Obama out-raised Romney by roughly 2-to-1 during the last two months. Romney had raised more in Virginia than Obama during the preceding May and June.

The new financial reports also showed that some wealthy executives who have given tens of millions of dollars to super PACs this election didn't give any more money last month, including Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and Texas businessman Harold Simmons. Some major donors have chosen to give instead to super PACs' nonprofit arms, which don't have to reveal their donors but must focus their ads on political issues.
