'Two And A Half Men': Walden Almost Moves In With His Stalker Girlfriend (VIDEO)

Two And A Half Men

An innocent comment from Walden prompts Rose to try and move in on "Two and a Half Men."

Walden's relationship with Rose went from zero to 60 on Thursday's "Two and a Half Men," after an innocent comment from the billionaire prompted Rose to attempt to move in with him and Alan.

Of course, Rose turned out to be totally crazy, so Walden was forced to end things with her ... but that didn't put her off for long, as the end of the episode revealed her to be lurking outside, probably in the hope that Walden might change his mind.

Sadly for Walden, Zoey had been hoping the two of them might get back together -- until she discovered that he'd "moved in" with Rose. From two women to none in the space of one episode? Maybe Ashton Kutcher has lost his mojo.

"Two and a Half Men" airs Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS.

Employment data unlikely to sway voters

21 hrs.

If some voters haven't decided who to choose as the leader of the free world next Tuesday, the latest jobs data isn't likely to help them much.

Friday's employment report showed another month of steady but slow improvement in the job market: not too hot, not too cold, but not right enough to put a big dent in unemployment. More crucial to many?voters likely will be how the federal government responds to the disaster caused by Superstorm Sandy.

Payrolls expanded by 171,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said, more than the 125,000 forecast by economists. The government also said 84,000 more jobs were created in August and September than initially estimated.

But the unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent in September, largely because more workers who had given up looking for a job?decided to resume their searches. The Labor Department only counts people who are looking for?work as unemployed.

The jobs report is President Barack?Obama's last report card for his efforts to get the economy moving again and create jobs for millions?of Americans still sidelined by the worst recession in a half century. The feeble recovery?? both its causes and the candidates? proposals to accelerate it ? have dominated the campaign.

But because the numbers are roughly consistent with other recent reports, the news?isn't?expected to sway many voters.

?We doubt that October's employment report is either strong enough or weak enough to have any marked impact on next week's presidential election,? said economist Paul Ashworth of?Capital Economics.

The report contained information that both?campaigns can use. Upward revisions to earlier reports show that ?the economy has created an average of 173,000 jobs a month since July. That's up sharply from from a pace of 67,000 a month from April through June. That acceleration tends to support Obama?s contention that the economy is on the mend.

?We see a picture of an economy that?s healing,? said White House chief economist Alan Krueger, shortly after the numbers were released. ?So we?re moving in the right direction, and what we need to do is build on this progress."

The uptick in the?jobless rate, which most voters consider a proxy for the job market?outlook, could? help bolster Romney?s argument that the White House?hasn't?done enough to boost job growth.?

"Today's increase in the unemployment rate is a sad reminder that the economy is at a virtual standstill," Romney said in a statement on the jobs data.?

Also, with so many people looking for work, employers have been able to hold back raises.?The latest numbers show that workers' paychecks continue to fall behind the inflation rate.

Over the past 12 months, hourly earnings for all workers are up just 1.6 percent, the lowest on records dating to early 2007. A measure with a longer track record that covers only production and non-supervisory employees was up only 1.1 percent -- the lowest on records dating to 1964

Balanced against that are other data, which have shown the economy picking up strength in the second half of the year. Consumers are spending more on big-ticket items, like cars and appliances, for example.

"House prices are rising and consumer confidence has finally picked itself off the floor. Both the retail and construction sectors piled on jobs in October, hinting at a return of business optimism," said Marcus Ballus, trading director at MB Capital in London. "But there is continued weakness in America's manufacturing sector, and there is still no sense of inevitability about the recovery."?

Obama will wind up his campaign with the highest unemployment rate of any incumbent since Franklin Roosevelt ? a rate that is also slightly higher than when he took office.

?The jobless rate is higher than it was when President Obama took office, and there are still 23 million Americans struggling for work," Romney said.?

That number ? the broadest measure of unemployment that the Labor Department calls ?U6? ? includes people out of work, those who?ve given up looking and part-time workers who want a full-time job but can?t find one. That wider jobless rate has also shown improvement, falling from 16.0 percent a year ago to 14.6 percent last month.

Even as the pace of job growth picked up in the second half of the year, the outlook for the economy has become cloudier. Much of the uncertainty comes from the looming package of tax hikes and spending cuts that take effect at the start of next year

Unless revised or postponed, the tax hikes and spending cuts will almost certainly push the economy back into recession, most economists say. As a result, companies are reluctant to hire many?new workers until it becomes clear how that budget impasse will be resolved.

Neither candidate has proposed a specific plan to break the political stalemate over the ?fiscal cliff? in the next two months. ?

Longer term, both have pledged to cut swollen federal deficits. Those pledges are popular with U.S. voters, but?both candidates? budget proposals could weaken the economy. As debt-laden European countries have demonstrated, cutting spending and raising taxes too quickly creates a major drag on growth.

Obama has said that wealthier taxpayers need to pay ?their fair share,? an increase that would reduce the amount of money available for spending and investment. If re-elected, the president also is?widely expected to allow a two-year-old payroll tax cut to?expire. That would raise taxes on all wage earners, further cutting into spending.

Romney has proposed cutting federal government spending sharply to a target of 20 percent of gross domestic product by 2016. That pace of budget-cutting would also produce a drag on growth, economists say.

With millions of households and businesses without power after a monster storm slammed into the East Coast Monday, Friday?s jobs report is also expected to be overshadowed by the ongoing fallout from Superstorm Sandy. For better or worse, the Obama administration?s response to the disaster will likely have a greater impact on the few remaining undecided voters who haven?t made up their minds.

?The three people that are still undecided in the United States about this election were not waiting for the jobs number,? said James Nussle, a former budget official in the George W. Bush administration.?

How to cope with lab-animal tragedy

The loss of lab animals at New York University's Langone Medical Center to Hurricane Sandy has the potential to be devastating to medical research. However, a scientist from Houston who has been through something similar says there's a silver lining to this cloud.

"It was really an opportunity to think differently and work differently, and once we did get the mice back and our colonies going, I think our research is stronger and better for it," said Michael Blackburn, a scientist at The University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Houston. Blackburn lost all of his laboratory mice to a flood from Tropical Storm Allison in 2001.

While NYU researchers are likely feeling "devastated" at the loss of their research animals, recovery may bring new opportunities, Blackburn told LiveScience.

  1. Science news from NBCNews.com

    1. Climate issue heats up after superstorm

      Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: The climate change issue has been virtually a non-issue during the presidential campaign ? but it's primed to take a higher profile after the elections, in part due to Hurricane Sandy's horrific aftermath.

A blow to research
When Sandy hit the Northeast early this week as a post-tropical storm, the speed and depth of the flood surge overwhelmed one of the three animal research facilities on NYU's campus, according to a university statement. The facility was designed to withstand a surge 20 percent larger than anything seen in the last century, but Sandy's surge topped anything seen in the last 200 years. [On the Ground: Images of Hurricane Sandy]

"Animal resource staff was on site continuously to mitigate the damage from the storm, but due to the speed and force of the surge, animal rescue attempts were unsuccessful," according to NYU.

It can take years to genetically engineer strains of mice for studying specific diseases and treatments, meaning the loss could set back some lines of medical research substantially. With grant money for research in short supply, scientists may also have a tough time getting funds to start from scratch.

But Texas has been there, too. In 2001, Tropical Storm Allison hit southeastern Texas with heavy rains, causing massive flooding in Houston and leaving 30,000 temporarily homeless. The Texas Medical Center, a research campus that houses dozens of institutions including the University of Texas Health Science Center and the Baylor College of Medicine, was hard-hit. According to the UT Health Science Center, floodwaters swept into basement labs, drowning 5,000 research animals at the UT Medical School and causing an estimated $2 billion of damage to the Texas Medical Center campus.

The destruction was initially terrible, Blackburn said. He was out of town during the storm, and heard from a student that they'd lost every last one of their mice, which had been genetically engineered for the study of lung disease. He flew back to Houston to find the animal-care facility still under water.

"I was devastated," Blackburn said.

Silver lining
Immediately after the storm, there was a lot of uncertainty in the lab, Blackburn said. Power was out, so for some time, there was nowhere to work at all.

He wasn't feeling much optimism then, Blackburn said, but within a week, the cleanup and recovery was on. Fortunately, scientific collaboration with other labs paid off.

"As scientists, we're resourceful, we have a community around the country that looks after one another, and I was able to call around and get mice from other colleagues," Blackburn said.

In the meantime, the researchers got creative. They started thinking about other ways to research lung diseases, including cell cultures, computer models and human-based studies. The result was a more diversified line of research.

"It slowed us down, no doubt, but I think in the end it was a success story," Blackburn said.

In another message of hope for NYU researchers facing the difficult task of rebuilding after Sandy, Blackburn recalls the six months after the storm flying by.

"I would just offer encouragement that with hard work it will get better," Blackburn said. "Turn this into a positive ? and let us know how we can help."

Australia gives $104 million to fighting malaria

(AP) ? Australia will spend more than 100 million Australian dollars ($104 million) over the next four years to help reduce deaths from malaria in the Asia-Pacific region.

Foreign Minister Bob Carr announced at a malaria conference in Sydney on Friday the money would support several country and regional programs. They include a program that aims to control drug-resistant malaria along the lower Mekong River and anti-malaria efforts in Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea.

The World Health Organization says the region had more than 30 million malaria cases and around 42,000 deaths in 2010.

Most malaria deaths occur in Africa, but 64 percent of the Asia-Pacific population is exposed to the mosquito-borne illness.

Small-business group triggers counter-demonstration ? Central ...

This could be fun.

The National Federation of Independent Business is bringing its ?I Built My Business? bus to an Orlando company tomorrow to ?bring together entrepreneurs with elected officials, giving small-business owners a chance to share the stories of how they built their business and what it takes to be a small-business owner.? The rally is at 2 p.m. at Florida Outdoor Equipment at 2691 Darnadelle Drive and will feature Republican notables including U.S. Reps. Dan Webster of Winter Garden and John Mica of Winter Park, assorted business people and NFIB/Florida director Bill Herrle.

They?ll be greeted by folks from Organize Now and the Community Business Association of Central Florida, who?ll counter that NFIB is a Republican front that it says got $3.7 million from Karl Rove?s Crossroads GPS and endorses almost exclusively Republican candidates. The demonstrators promise to bring some small business owners who?ll make that case.

Flood Destruction in Staten Island Could Be Much Worse than We...


Flood Destruction in Staten Island Could Be Much Worse than We Think (Updated)

Post-Sandy conditions on Staten Island are both horrific and tragically underreported?many have died in mass flooding, either unwilling or unable to evacuate in time. Now we?re getting reports that the casualties have become so bad that?Egbert Intermediate School near Midland Beach has been turned into a makeshift overflow morgue.

We spoke with one displaced couple who relayed information they?d received from former neighbors, claiming that flooding deaths have been widely underestimated: ?several people have been able to see them pulling out bodies? from flooded homes, our sources say, with multiple local tweeters corroborating the use of Egbert as body storage facility. One?resident?said her neighbor?a former NYPD officer?estimated as many as 60 unidentified bodies are being stored at the school, and that she ?personally witnessed 11 bodies on Tuesday morning being removed from Oakwood beach area.?

Another resident took to Reddit with more purported details: ?Its 19 as of last night. My father is a police captain in the NYPD, that was the latest from him. Could be more at this point, but 200 does seem like a stretch.?

?Brother?s neighbor is a deputy near LBI, NJ. He says the death toll is going to go up. Said he?s seen a number of bodies floating,? chimed in another. ABC says at least 19 are dead in the borough?and it?s worth remembering that number could spike once authorities go door to door, as was the case in New Orleans post-Katrina.

The area, we?re told, was already prone to flooding due to a shoddy drainage system that clogs up under even regular rainfall?so with a hurricane, the seas were pushed straight up homes.

We?re waiting to hear back from the New York City Office of Emergency Management for more details, but an Army National Guard spokesperson confirmed that the morgue does exist?how bad the body count is remains murky. Using a government building like this during emergency conditions isn?t unusual, but could indicate this thing is much worse than it seems in some corners of the country.

Update:?John Annese, reporter with the Staten Island Advance, provides some evidence that the school morgue might be a rumor and nothing more:

We sent out a reporter today ? he spoke to the school?s principal, who said there was no morgue. Similarly, Margie Feinberg, the spokeswoman for the city Department of Education said no morgue is there.

Our reporter passed the school multiple times, found no police, medical examiner, ambulances, military, no emergency vehicles at all around the school. The principal said the school doesn?t even have power.

The National Guard might just be confused.

Update 2:?We?ve received a big batch of images from the devastation. Note the Nat?l Guard with the body bag. Awful.

Obama, Romney get back to campaigning after storm

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama put politics aside and Republican challenger Mitt Romney tempered his criticism of the president for three days as superstorm Sandy battered the U.S. East Coast, but both will dive back into the presidential campaign with gusto on Thursday, with just five days left until Election Day.

Obama and Romney are locked in a race so tight that both campaigns are predicting victory. However, the polls show Obama with a slight edge in nine key "battleground" states that are neither reliably Republican nor Democratic. The U.S. president is not elected according to the nationwide popular vote, but in state-by-state contests that make these states especially important in such a tight election.

The president's advisers insist his break from campaigning while managing the federal response to the superstorm had minimal impact on his standing. If anything, it gave Obama a chance to offer the type of comfort and command in a crisis that only a president can deliver.

The storm created headaches for Romney, diverting the public's attention away from the campaign as he was trying to build momentum.

Still, the Democratic campaign is seeking to make up for the lost time with a heavy travel itinerary in the coming days, including rallies Thursday in Wisconsin, Nevada and Colorado.

The storm, named Sandy, devastated the New Jersey coast and inundated portions of New York City. More than 70 people were killed in the late season weather fury that raked much of the Atlantic seaboard before unleashing its full power on the most densely populated region of the United States. Sandy caused billions of dollars in damage, tens of thousands remained without power, streets were awash in flood waters, homes were destroyed and mass transit shut as subway tunnels flooded.

Obama spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said while the president remains focused on the storm recovery, the fact that the election takes place in five days is a "reality" and he will return to the trail to make the case to the American people on why they should return him to the White House for four more years.

The partisan sniping continued this week from the candidates' surrogates and their running mates. Much of it focused on Romney's new television and radio ads in critical Ohio, highly misleading spots that suggest automakers General Motors and Chrysler are adding jobs in China at the expense of workers in the Midwestern swing state. Vice-President Joe Biden said the spots were "one of the most flagrantly dishonest ads I can ever remember."

Obama's campaign planned to keep pressing its criticism of the ads as it seeks to block Romney's prospects for a breakthrough in Ohio, a state every Republican has needed to win the presidency.

The Republican ticket hasn't backed away from the ad. Running mate Paul Ryan said in a statement that "American taxpayers are on track to lose $25 billion as a result of President Obama's handling of the auto bailout, and GM and Chrysler are expanding their production overseas."

In fact, Chrysler is adding 1,100 jobs to its plant in Toledo. It's also adding production facilities in China as demand for cars there grows. Because of trade rules, it's easier for companies to build cars for the Chinese market in China. It's also more efficient. Japanese automakers, for example, have plants in the U.S. to meet American demand.

Romney was campaigning Thursday in Virginia, while Ryan was appearing at events in Nevada and Colorado.

Ahead of campaign events in Virginia, Romney released a Web video highlighting a decades-old barbecue chain in Richmond that's shutting its doors. "When President Obama took office there was a lot of hope that things were going to change. Well, he didn't change anything," a woman connected to the business says in the video.

Biden had two events scheduled in Iowa. Obama was starting his day in Green Bay, Wisconsin, making up an event that was cancelled earlier in the week because of the storm. He had a rally planned later in Las Vegas, as well as Boulder, Colorado, a heavily Democratic area.

Aides said Obama planned to mention the storm victims in his remarks.

More than 19 million people have already voted in the presidential, either by mail or in person. No votes will be counted until Nov. 6, but some key states are releasing the party affiliation of those who have voted.

Democrats have an edge in votes cast in Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio. Republicans have an advantage in Colorado.

Hurricane Sandy: Were government warnings confusing?

Though the consensus is that forecasting of Hurricane Sandy was accurate, some criticize the way the message was conveyed. The National Hurricane Center will review decisions it made relating to this storm later this month and early next year.?

By Julie Steenhuysen,?Reuters / November 1, 2012

The first predictions of the monster storm that slammed into the?East Coast?of the?United States?came nearly a week before Sandy?made landfall on Monday, giving state and local officials ample notice to issue warnings and make preparations for the threat.

But in the aftermath of the storm that left a swath of destruction across 15 states and cut power to more than 8 million people, some meteorologists question the federal government's decision not to issue hurricane or tropical storm warnings for Sandy?north of the?Carolinas.

"I think the meteorological community as a whole did a very strong job on this storm," said?Marshall Moss, vice president for forecasting at AccuWeather, a private forecasting company based in?Pennsylvania.

Preparations were made, evacuations were called for, and "many, many lives were saved," Moss said in an interview on Thursday.

But AccuWeather and others are criticizing the decision by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Hurricane Center (NHC) not to issue hurricane warnings for Sandy?north of?North Carolina.

To some, the rationale was semantic. Because Sandy?was merging with a winter storm, when it reached land it would no longer be considered a tropical storm.

So, instead of issuing hurricane warnings, Sandy?was handled with a series of high wind and flood warnings through local National Weather Servoce offices.

In an advisory issued on Saturday, the hurricane center said the decision to classify Sandy?as a post-tropical storm was intended to "avoid or minimize the significant confusion that could occur" if the warnings changed from tropical to non-tropical in the middle of the storm.

But AccuWeather and others worried the decision might lead to more confusion, not less. Hours before landfall, AccuWeather CEO Barry Myers urged the hurricane center to reverse its decision to not issue hurricane or tropical storm warnings, the company said in a statement.

"What we have is a hurricane becoming embedded in a winter storm. It's clearly unprecedented," Myers said. "But to refuse to issue hurricane warnings clearly can cause confusion."

Moss said not calling the storm a hurricane could lead some to underestimate the power of Sandy, one of the most expensive storms in U.S. history, with up to $20 billion in insured losses and as much as $50 billion in damages.

And he feared the hurricane center was too focused on being technically accurate, and not focused enough on communicating the severity of the risk.

"It got a little too weather weenie," said Moss, noting that the term hurricane conjures up powerful images of destruction that might not be conveyed with flood and high wind warnings.

Many were confused?

Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman for the hurricane center, declined to comment on AccuWeather's criticisms, but in an interview on Tuesday,?John Cangialosi, a hurricane specialist at the center said he doesn't "totally disagree" with AccuWeather's criticisms.
