Available nationally (in each state and territory), "The Australian" is the biggest-selling national newspaper in the country, with a circulation of 116,655 on weekdays and 254,891 on weekends in 2013, figures substantially below those of top-selling local newspapers in Sydney ("The Daily Telegraph"), Melbourne ("The Herald Sun"), and Brisbane ("The Courier-Mail"). Its chief rivals are the business-focused "Australian Financial Review", and on weekends, "The Saturday Paper". In May 2010, the newspaper launched the first Australian newspaper iPad app. "The Australian" is owned by News Corp Australia.

"The Australian" is published by News Corp Australia, an asset of News Corp, which also owns the sole dailies in Brisbane, Adelaide, Hobart and Darwin and the most popular metropolitan dailies in Sydney and Melbourne. News Corp's Chairman and Founder is Rupert Murdoch.

"The Australian" integrates content from overseas newspapers owned by News Corp Australia's parent, News Corp, including "The Wall Street Journal" and "The Times" of London.

The first edition of "The Australian" was published by Rupert Murdoch on 15 July 1964, becoming the third national newspaper in Australia following shipping newspaper "Daily Commercial News" (1891) and "Australian Financial Review" (1951).

Years back in a kingdom far away there lived a family in the woods. This family had always lived in the woods. Their father each day would travel into the woods and chop wood to take to the town. The mother spent her day cleaning and taking care of their home and her three children. The dad and his family had a good life. They never wanted for much. The three kids went to school and had many friends in the town. One day there came a nasty storm to the woods. This storm brought a lot of rain and flooded many areas in the city. Many homes were under water. The leader came to the dad and asked him to go out and cut some very large logs to place in the city to keep the water back. The logs would be used to build a wall.

Washington (CNN) -- When Paul Ryan struggled to explain a budget-balancing timeline under Mitt Romney, he highlighted the difficulty of trying to run a substantive campaign without being too specific.

While Ryan's interview Tuesday with Fox News' Brit Hume was no Sarah Palin-Katie Couric moment, the Republican vice presidential candidate's discomfort in answering when Romney's proposal would balance the budget was evident.

Ryan, a seven-term congressman from Wisconsin and chairman of the House Budget Committee, said he was unsure when Romney's proposals would balance the federal budget. Romney's plans say he would "put the federal government on a course toward a balanced budget" but does not say when.

Mitt Romney's 5-point plan for the economy

Hume repeatedly pressed Ryan on the question of "when" Romney's budget would balance.

Hume: "The budget plan you're now supporting would get to balance when?"

Ryan: "Well, there are different -- the budget plan that Mitt Romney is supporting gets us down to 20% of GDP (gross domestic product) government spending by 2016. That means get the size of government back to where it historically has been. What President Obama has done is he brought the size of government to as high as it hasn't been since World War II. We want to reduce the size of government to have more economic freedom."

Hume: "I get that. What about balance?"

Ryan: "I don't know exactly what the balance is. I don't want to get wonky on you, but we haven't run the numbers on that specific plan. The plan we offer in the House balances the budget. I'd put a contrast. President Obama, never once, ever, has offered a plan to ever balance the budget. The United States Senate, they haven't even balanced, they haven't passed a budget in three years." What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1. Who interviewed Paul Ryan?
2. Who is he with?
3. What is Ryan's occupation?
4. How many terms has he served?
5. Was he certain when Romney's plan would balance the budget?
6. How many parts does Romney's plan have?
7. Did Hume only ask him once about when it would be balanced?
8. What percentage does the plan get the GDP down to?
9. Which President is referenced?
10. How long has it been since the senate passed a budget?
11. What did he say about Obama's government size?
Answer: 1. Brit Hume

More "Breaking Bad" yo?

The series star Bryan Cranston seemed to drop a major hint in an interview with CNN's Ashleigh Banfield Thursday. Asked by Banfield if his character, Walter White, died or not, Cranston said, "Hey, you never saw bags zip up or anything. Or say ... you know." He left the rest up to viewers' imaginations.

In response to questions about whether the character could show up in a movie or anywhere else ever again, Cranston said: "Never say never."

Whoa.

He may have been teasing, but that remark revived hopes for countless fans who still are mourning the loss of the character and the acclaimed series. The show literally went out with a bang in September 2013 and there was even a mock funeral held for the character in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the series was set and filmed.

Cranston has remained busy since the series ended, most recently starring in the summer film "Godzilla." And AMC has announced that "Breaking Bad" fans can look forward to a new series, "Better Call Saul," which will be a spinoff featuring criminal lawyer Saul Goodman.
