Verizon version of Samsung Galaxy S IV may have hit benchmark site, shows 1.9GHz processor
0. phoneArena 15 Feb 2013, 00:01 posted on
A Samsung device that was run over the NenaMark2 benchmark site shows the SCH-i545 with a FHD resolution of 1080 x 1920, the Adreno 320 GPU, Android 4.2 on board and a 1.9GHz processor; considering that the SCH-i535 is the Verizon version of the Samsung Galaxy S III, the benchmarked model could be the Verizon version of the Samsung Galaxy S IV...

yeah right its just a oc of the pro that everyone else is using. But I bet all the fandroid will still say it's the greatest thing ever. lmao... the Iphone will beat hands down.

the iPhone will beat hands down ? LOL
iPhone 4S couldn't beat the GS2 ! iPhone 5 couldn't beat GS3, and i dont think iPhone 5S will beat the GS4 ;)

don't know what cave you've recently crawled out of but every iteration of the iphone is smoother and far superior to the samsung copycat counterpart. Anyway the iphone will come with rouge gpu and new cores based on real a15 not qualcomm pos especially old pos

Iphone always suckzzzz......
6. tedkord (Posts: 11706; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Wrong and wrong. Besides having fewer features and less functionality, the iPhone no longer has the advantage in smoothness. Not since ICS.

But hey - iOS UI is the best for its unending consistency.... Same today as it was back in 2007. /sarcasm

You need to check sgs3 VS i5,sgn2 vs i5 reviews.
BTW the gpu is Rogue.
8. jove39 (Posts: 1859; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Probably you are living in similar cave...Apple has ditched A15 altogether and went with custom implementation just like qualcomm...you know Apple copied qualcomm here!
9. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
You mean based on real A15 like the A6, oh wait....
You mean a rogue GPU with all the cores removed and under clocked for the puny battery? Don't kid yourself fan boy. The S4 pro would smoke the A6 if it used IOS, safari, and a 4 inch screen below 720p.
Don't believe me? The only benchmark iPhone 5 is good at is browser mark and that is because of Safari. Run browser mark using chrome on both the Nexus 4 and iPhone 5 and you will see the Nexus 4 smoke it without the Safari browser crutch it needs to win benchmarks. Lol

I don't like Apple and the iPhone, but nothing can beat the SGX543MP3 inside of it, not even the Adreno 320. And guess what, that beast of a GPU is running on a puny battery as you say and kills your Nexus 4. Rogue will be much more powerful and battery efficient.
41. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
You fell for the Apple/Anandtech marketing hype? When all they run benchmarks on is the GPU and the Safari browser, compared to slow ass Chrome, then it is easy to get fooled.
You are forgetting one important thing and probably the most important piece in our smartphones. The SOC. The A6 has a dual core between A9 and A15 soc clocked at 1.3 ghz(clocked low for guess what? The Puny battery and the the software that is stripped of multi tasking and other features that it optimized for the puny battery.
The Nexus 4 has a quad core that is between A9 and A15. You do the math there or let geekbench do it for you. My Nexus 4, as you put it, kills the current iphone and probably will beat the under clocked A7 in the iphone 5s.
46. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Oh yeah, that's why in almost every graphics test the Adreno 320 scores right up next to the SGX543MP3, and on off screen tests when resolution isn't holding the Adreno 320 back, it outperforms the PowerVR.
The only tests where it doesn't get beaten by the Adreno 320 is when you're testing it against the Nexus 4 which is affected by thermal throttling, and doesn't get scores nearly as high as they should be.
Currently, the only GPU that beats the Adreno 320 is the Mali-T604 and the PowerVR SGX554MP4, Adreno 330 will fix that though. I'm sure Rogue will be beastly, but what's the use of having such a great GPU if you don't have anything of your phone/tablet to take full advantage of it?
40. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1172; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Perhaps this means you should look towards the Note III to be the real beast of a phone for this year. I would imagine it would be that device that might showcase the Exynos Octa processor if this one doesn't.
10. apple.com (Posts: 3; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
sigh... all of these fandroid comments and they still won't accept that the s4 will be using old tech that will guarantee to be beaten by the new iphone as it never uses old hardware. Just like the s3 that was all a9 cores and the gpu was the same old mali 400. LMAO again.
12. jove39 (Posts: 1859; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
S3 is old phone now...and you don't need to remind us how fast PowerVR gpus are...Apple has always emphasized more on gpu power than...cpu...you can't name a single apple soc that has more cpu power than same gen Exynos soc...for gpu...its been always other way around.

Now back to actual topic -
Even if Samsung uses qualcomm soc in gs4...then how it is wrong? krait is more powerful than A9 and efficient than A15...Samsung had to compromise somewhere...and adreno 320 is powmerful enough to drive 1080p display...also sasung may push qualcomm to use ddr3-800mhz ram for better data bandwidth.
Exynos5...undoubtly fast than any other soc...is also more power hungry and perhaps expensive...so I won't mind samsung moving to qualcomm for smartphones and use Exynos only on high-end tablets!
13. okokpeople (Posts: 3; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
ok see its people like you that basically allowed samsung to put the same a9 and mali in the s3 and also the crappy crapdragon dual core with adreno 225 in the US. so if you like specs like that than go on ahead an buy last years tech as their cheaper anyway. But were here talking about new and better things and unlike you we don't like moving backwards.
15. jove39 (Posts: 1859; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
you think using krait cores with adreno320 and ddr3-800 ram is moving backwards?
17. okokpeople (Posts: 3; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
ram aside the adreno 320 was used in the optimus g debuted last year. Also the s4 pro was not really all that efficient in power. The s4 is supposed to be the greatest android phone aside from the note 3 that is coming out this year so yes using the adreno and the s4 soc is moving backwards. If I wanted that---sprint had a bogo not that long ago for the optimus.
22. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Unfortunately for your lover Apple, it won't use a S4 pro cpu. It might use the Qualcomm 600 though, which will still be better than anything Apple comes out with.
25. jove39 (Posts: 1859; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
None of last year phones have been able to use apq8064 upto potential due to thermal constraints...if you read anandtech...they did two test on soc...one with cooling it in freezer!
my one x with msm8960 can easily score similar to nexus4 with alsmost double power
48. bigstrudel (Posts: 518; Member since: 20 Aug 2012)
I have an Optimus G with the S4 Pro. And I owned the same One X that you have on AT&T right before I upgraded to this. The difference in performance is noticeable.
The only time benchmark performance wanes through throttling is when I run multiple graphics benchmarks back to back. Antutu scores are constantly above 20K and reach 22.5K sometimes. And to tell you the truth; the One X gets warmer during everyday use and benchmarks than the Optimus G does.

He thinks he's making full use of that SoC watching porn on XVIDEOS.
23. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Yes the four A9's and old mali gpu that allows it to still outperform the iphone 5 that was released months later. Also, that crapdragon is pretty much the same as what the A6 is, somewhere in between an A9 and an A15.
33. picka_vi_materina (Posts: 174; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
How does the Mali outperform the SGX543MP3? Please elaborate.
42. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
It is called a combination. You know. Simple math such as 4 highly clocked A9s + super overclocked mali + huge battery to power it all >>>>> 2 low clocked A9/A15 hybrids + severely under clocked power VR with two cores removed + puny battery that forces everything to thermal throttle really low.
You know, simple math. Or simple English if you would actually read my posts before replying to realize that I wasn't talking strictly about the GPU but the overall performance. Of course, judging from your reaction you probably think that the power VR vs the Mali is the only thing that matters.
27. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Octacore big.little chipset will make it to the Note III. That plus KLP will have Apple filing suit over lost sales yet again. Nothing like whining when they could be innovating.

I hope to see more high-end phones with a Intel Atom Clover Trail+ processor other than the Lenovo Ideaphonme K900. Can't wait to see more phones and tablets with Bay Trail processors though.

I cannot believe Samsung could go for Snapdragon for the S4.
It would be handing out the greatest chip business out there to the direct competitor of Samsung semiconductor division!
My bet is they will use it for U.S. versions only

I don't know what device it is, but I bet that it's not the S4.Samsung has developed a super ultra mega Chip like the Exynos Octa and the new flagship will get a standard Dual Core SoC from Qualcomm which has been used in several Smartphones like HTC's One S or the Qualcomm Version of the Galaxy S3 for a year now?Oh and by the way: Qualcomms MSM8960 doesn't even have an Adreno 320. Either it is a MSM8960T (or another Chip) or it's got an Adreno 225.Looking at the Results the GPU got it should be an Adreno 320, but then it can't be a MSM 8960.So the data from GLBenchmark is false anyway. I call B.S. on this one Samsung ain't using no snapdragon on the Galaxy S4.
38. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
It's probably the Snapdragon 600 since it's clocked at 1.9 GHz.
37. dynamo.one (Posts: 63; Member since: 14 Feb 2013)
qualcomm? seriously? this is a joke..
39. CreeDiddy (Posts: 745; Member since: 04 Nov 2011)
Well the phone experience of the S4 should be very good. The benchmarks of this phone will lag behind the iPhone 5S in terms of GPU performance. The A6X chip was the one to beat, however, the Adreno 320 is no match for the PowerVR SGX 554.
This will mean that the 5S will be the upgrade for this year for Apple with the A7. Again Apple isn't threatened by performance with the release of the Snapdragon or Qualcom processor with Adreno GPU.
43. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
In terms of GPU performance is the key word here. In terms of every other performance, Apple isn't threatened, they know that they are already beat. Also, Apple software and their under 720 p resolution screen had reached diminishing returns a LONG, LONG, LONG time ago. You simply do not need to put a rogue GPU in the iphone 6, maybe the ipad 5/mini 2 but not the 6. Don't be shocked if they take the profit margins of reusing the iphone 5 gpu instead of including the rogue GPU.
The iphone 5s GPU performance won't reach the A6X either. Funny how you conveniently forget that the iphone 5 with two less GPU cores comes nowhere close to the A6X and neither will the iphone 5s.
44. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Here is a link that shows how all the current GPUs compare.
Notice how even the older A5X and definitely the Andreno 320 beat the iphone 5's under clocked with two cores removed GPU in the off screen tests? Using the A6X to represent the A7 in the next iphone is ludicrous, there are HUGE differences in power. the A6X slaughters the under clocked A6, stop talking about them like they are the same.
The only reason the iphone 5 GPU benches so high is because the screen resolution is below 720p and the software is highly optimized for GPU benchmarks.

BOARDMAN - The Division II regional cross country race came down to seniors Drake Lohnes of West Branch and Nate Boyer of East Liverpool.
Lohnes edged Boyer by four-hundredths of a second Saturday to become the first West Branch boy to win a regional cross country title.
"If I got him, I got him by an inch," Lohnes said.
Lohnes topped the 128-runner boys field, covering the 3.1-mile course at Boardman High School in 16 minutes, 37.97 seconds.
Boyer was second in 16:38.01, while Marlington senior Colin Eggleston was another second back.
"Eggleston and Lohnes came out of nowhere," Boyer said.
"They were coming from somewhere," East Liverpool coach Scott Thornberry said. "When they came around the bend, there were five of them and they were jockeying for position. It looked like the peloton at the Tour de France."
The finish line liked more like a sprint race, except the runners didn't think about a lean.
"It didn't cross my mind, it was just go," Lohnes said. "It was awesome."
"After 4,900 meters, it's hard to make an agile move like a sprinter would," Boyer said.
Lohnes surged ahead at the finish for the victory.
"It was the most brutal finish of my life," Boyer said. "Until the top four crossed the line, I didn't know who would win it."
"It was a heck of a race," West Branch coach Kevin Buckley said. "Drake's competitive spirit showed today. It was all heart at the end."
Both runners advanced to the state meet for a third straight season next Saturday at National Trail Raceway near Hebron.
They knew where they stood coming into the regional meet.
"I was looking on the Internet - Coach doesn't like me doing that - but I like knowing where I am at," Lohnes said. "I knew Boyer was good. Today, I knew I was first to fourth. And I was fortunate enough to win it."
Even though Lohnes was fourth at the Malone district meet last week, Boyer knew he could win Saturday.
"He always comes out of nowhere in the postseason races," Boyer said.
"I think people have a lot of respect for his running to begin with," Buckley said. "He ran a tremendous race. He did what he needed to do."
After Saturday's win, Lohnes has changed his goals for the state meet.
"Yes," he said. "There's four regions in the state, so I think you're ranked in the top four."
"He's getting back to where he was at the beginning of the year," Buckley said. "He's right where he needs to be. He's been there. He knows the course since he ran there last year."
It will give Lohnes one last chance to break the 16-minute barrier.
"The goal at the beginning of the season is to break 16," Lohnes said. "I know I can do it. It's in my mind. This is it. It's my last hurrah."
Thornberry said Boyer had another similar finish early in the season.
"When he's running, all bets are off," Thornberry said.
Virtually assured of a state berth, the leaders gave it their all coming down the stretch.
"The pressure was off Nate knowing he is in the top 16," Thornberry said. "He always want to win and you have to salute him for that."
The top four teams and top 16 individuals advance to the state meet.
"Next week it's all about place and time," Boyer said. "I'm going to run as fast as I can."
Meet notes
- West Branch finished 15th in the Division II team standings with 320 points.
Finishing behind Lohnes for the Warriors were senior J.P. Overly in 54th, junior Jeremy Truex 74th, sophomore Caleb Morey 118th, sophomore Tony Host 127th and sophomore Matt Morelli 128th.
- Senior Matt Truex, West Branch's fifth runner last week, missed the meet for his ACT test.
- Marlington won the boys team title with 85 points.
- Minerva senior Luke Nezbeth, a two-time state qualifier, didn't advance after placing 57th.
- Carrollton sophomore John Brown, the regional champion last year, earned a return trip to state by placing 13th.
"You never know from year to year," Buckley said.
Nichols sets the stage
BOARDMAN - South Range senior Tim Nichols is setting the stage all by himself this season.
Nichols, who ran behind the graduated Ryan Roush the past three seasons, placed fifth overall at the Boardman Division III regional cross country meet to earn a third straight state berth.
"It was the first time at regionals I didn't have anybody beside me at the start," Nichols said.
He was fifth out of 135 runners, finishing the wet 3.1-mile course at Boardman High School in 16 minutes, 15 seconds.
"I feel like every single year I've run here it has been rainy," Nichols said. "I accomplished what I wanted to today."
Nichols, who was 11th at state last year, has been out front all season long.
"The training has been different because I've been by myself," Nichols said. "With Ryan, he was more responsible and I could pace myself off him. Sometimes I feel I run too hard and outpace myself without him."
One of the state favorites, Louisville St. Thomas Aquinas senior Cory Glines, won the regional race in 15:51.
"I don't think he ran as fast as he can," Nichols said.
Nichols wasn't looking much at his time on this day.
"I wish I could have gotten top three, but I couldn't control it," he said.
The top four teams and top 16 individuals advance to the state meet next Saturday at National Trail Raceway near Hebron.
"I would like to get top five at state," Nichols said. "Last year I wasn't too thrilled with my race, so I hope I can have some kind of redemption."
Meet notes
- United senior Cole Weikart finished 37th in the Division III race. He also is the kicker on the football team, which dropped a 54-53 decision to Mineral Ridge in overtime the night before.
- Maplewood and McDonald, the top two teams in the state poll, finished one-two again to earn return trips to state. Maplewood was first with 72 points and defending state champion McDonald was second with 83 points.
The McDonald boys have advanced a team to the state meet every year since 1999.
- Roush, who was third at the state meet last year, is now running at Malone University and was named the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Freshman Runner of the Year.
Parks, Lightfoot
survive the rain
BOARDMAN - United junior Allison Parks and Minerva senior Kaele Lightfoot had to run through the rain at Boardman High School on Saturday to earn return trips to the state cross country meet.
"It was muddy and miserable as always," Parks said. "No matter what the weather is, this course in always fast."
Lightfoot won her third Division II regional title, while Parks was third in the Division III girls race.
"I love running in the mud," Lightfoot said. "I'm disappointed there isn't more mud, like last year."
Both will be competing in the state meet next Saturday at National Trail Raceway near Hebron.
Parks was third out of 126 Division III girls runners, covering the 3.1-mile course in 19 minutes, 40 seconds.
"I've been looking forward to this race since midway through the season," she said.
It has been different for her this season, not having a local runner she can gauge herself off of. So she was running against a lot of her competitors for the first time.
"You really don't know them until you run with them," Parks said. "I don't look at their times. I look at how they race."
She stayed near the front for the whole race, trailing only Gates Mills Hawken senior Alexandra Markovich and Smithville senior Erin Moomaw.
"Anyone who came up on me I tried to stay with them," Parks said. "You don't want to get swallowed up here."
She wants to run her best time ever next weekend.
"I hope to be closer to the front and do better than last year," Parks said. "If I run my best time, I can't complain."
Lightfoot ran away with another regional title, topping the 130-runner Division II girls field in 19:25.
Poland senior Libby Rogenski was second and Poland senior McKinsie Klim third in guiding the Bulldogs to a state berth.
"Those Poland girls are good," Lightfoot said. "There is a lot better competition than I've had in the past."
Lightfoot was strong from the start and pulled away in the last mile.
"I kind of let them do all the work," Lightfoot said. "I can tell when someone is dying. And I made a little bit of a move."
Her goal is to get on the podium for the first time in cross country.
"I've never been on the podium in cross country," said Lightfoot, a state track champion who has three straight top 27 finishes in cross country. "I missed it by one place last year.
"I'm not going to set my goals too high because it is cross country. My main goal is track."
Nothing will be easy next Saturday.
"The state meet this year is loaded," Lightfoot said. "Last year is when I should have made a move."
The South Range and East Palestine girls teams did not advance in Division III.
South Range, ranked 10th in the state poll, just missed advancing to state by placing fifth with 151 points.
Smithville, paced by Erin Moomaw's second-place finish, grabbed the fourth and final state berth with 141 points. Inter-Tri County League champion McDonald was third with 109.
Leaders for South Range were freshman Mollie Pierson in 28th, freshman Madelyn Kimpel 30th, senior Monica Patrick 32nd, junior Matti Dunham 35th, freshman Emily Fromel 65th, senior Danielle Buzzacco 71st, sophomore Lauren Herubin 74th.
East Palestine, which will return its top six runners next season, was 13th with 326 points.
The Bulldogs were paced by freshman Hannah Hall in 43rd, freshman Haley Hall 52nd, sophomore Justina Stanislaw 76th, junior Korynn Crawford 111th, freshman Tori Ward 119th, junior Sarah Adams 120th and senior Laura Garvin 126th.
Meet notes
- Also in the Division III girls race, Lisbon sophomore Bobbi Jo Evans was 42nd, Lisbon junior Carmen Phillips was 59th and United sophomore Natalie Gamble was 67th.
- Salem senior Mallory Maher was one spot shy of becoming the first Quaker since 2007 to qualify for state. She finished 17th in Division II, while Salem freshman Hannah Shaffer was 43rd.
- The Minerva girls came up short of a fourth straight state berth, placing 12th in Division II with 297 points.
Following Lightfoot for the Lions were sophomore Emmalee Carter in 37th, senior Heather Tomlinson 101st, freshman Lindsey Brust 107th, junior Casey Bates 111th, freshman Morgan Studer 114th and freshman Libby Zurbrugg 122nd.

Elementary Student Teacher Enhancement Program for Science (STEPS)
Funded by the U. S. Department of Education
The goal of this collaboration with Florida International University (FIU) and Miami-Dade County Public Schools is to explore the impact of adding a science museum to the professional development school model. By utilizing the resources and expertise of museum science teacher-educators and scientists, together with FIU education faculty, the project aims to strengthen supervising teachers' science content knowledge and pedagogy while preparing future teachers to implement standards-based inquiry-oriented science instruction.
Early Childhood Hands-On Science (ECHOS)
Funded by the U. S. Department of Education
For this 3-year initiative, the Center is collaborating with University of Miami's Department of Psychology and SRI International on a research study aimed at obtaining evidence of the potential efficacy of a museum-developed early science readiness curriculum and related teacher professional development. ECHOS builds on an existing core of science curriculum units already developed by the Museum and pilot tested with selected preschool centers in Miami. By expanding the existing units across the learning domains of early math, language, literacy, social, and motor development, the proposed project will demonstrate the potential of the ECHOS curriculum and professional development program to improve teacher practice and student achievement at the preschool level.Click here to download a brochure with more information.

So much for bipartisanship from Jefferson delegates
March 21, 2013
Charles Town's Democrat delegates, Tiffany Lawrence and Stephen Skinner, have distinguished themselves in Charleston....
Robert480, You're wrong. Morrisey founded the PAC to build a better infrastructure for his Party, not to bash Democrats. When he decided to run himself, he had to step away from the PAC and had no relationship with it during the last election. This can be verified by contacting him or the PAC co-founder, who also had to step down for the same reason. He is not a hypocrit, nor "is the Tea Party as a whole". They are not "political bullies that resort to lying, name calling, fact twisting, and fit throwing in order to get their way", but I am begining to wonder about you.

"Tread", yes I do know what I am talking about. Morrisey started a PAC with the sole intent of raising money in order to bash Democrats by distorting facts about their voting records. Then he claimed to have nothing to do with this PAC during the last election, which would have been against the law. Then he and the tea party cronies want to cry foul when someone other than he, and the tea party, practice the same tactics that he does. He is a hypocrit and so is the Tea Party as a whole. They are nothing more than political bullies that resort to lying, name calling, fact twisting, and fit throwing in order to get their way. Judging by your screen name you know what I am talking about. How appropriate that the Tea Party chose a snake as their symbol!!!

Wow, so Morrisey is allowed to be involved with organizations that are created for the sole purpose of distorting truths and facts in order to bash Democrats, all the while hiding from the fact that he is involved and even lying about his involvement, yet you call out Skinner and and Lawrence for having the guts to sign their name to a bill that actually makes sense? You tea party people are nothing more than ignorant radical cry babies that can't take what they dish out.

"the delegates referred to have been passing many bills in a bipartisan manner" - and who says that is necessarily a good thing? There are SO many federal and state laws on the books today that every citizen in the country commits at least one felony per day without even knowing about it. I would like to see our federal and state governments repeal 10 laws for every new law they pass. The more laws they pass, the easier it is for them to find something to put you in jail for. And they do this every single day.

First of all... amendment to what? There was no amendment to the BILL in which the writer is trying to refer to. Look it up on the Legislatures website. Second of all... both parties have changed in the last 80 years so the "80 year" comment is questionable. Look it up in a history book. Third of all... the delegates refered to have been passing many bills in a bipartisan manner. Again, look it up on the website. This guy is feeding you!

From the Democrat dictionary
bi·par·ti·san [bi paartiz'n] adjective
A hollow and insincere concept used to fool the gullible sheep we call "the people" into believing that legislation that is designed to force something distasteful and destructive down their throats is actually something that all agree is good for them.
Usage : "The word bipartisan means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out" - George Carlin

text: Each summer, analysis projects are solicited from state and local agencies and government officials. The seniors in the Public Policy Program taught by Professor Paul Gary Wyckoff are offered the option of a traditional thesis on academic subject, or a public contract thesis, in which the project has been suggested by a state or local government. In the case of a public contract thesis, the final report serves as both the student's thesis in public policy and an analysis and recommendation to the agency submitting the project. Senior projects may take one or two semesters, depending on the nature of the project. Students in this course work independently or in teams of two, and meet weekly with Professor Wyckoff.

Bare with me, I put on my Teaparty/Republican Hat. 1. On day one he will Repeal Obama-care. Good! We do not need those potential millions of Americans that had their lives saved by this Bill. 2. I just love the fact that Romney/Ryan will make me work till I am 70. I just keep getting healthier and stronger with age and can probably lift 300lbs by that time. 3. Romney/Ryan will give me medical vouchers to by my own insurance! I just love this. As stated in #1 Romney/Ryan will repeal Obamacare. No insurance company is going to touch a 70 year old with pre-existing conditions. I'll use that money for my Coffin. Isn't that great! 4. More tax breaks for the Rich! Awesome! I am just sure that they will use that money to create American jobs someday. Just you wait and see! 5. Romney/Ryan said they will balance the budget while building 500 new warships a year, More tax breaks to the rich and spend another 5 trillion dollars. Gosh, I did not know he was a magician.

One of the big question marks going into this season is who will be the Miami Dolphins' starting free safety. There aren't many positional battles on this roster so the biggest one probably comes at the back end of the secondary. 2009 5th-round draft pick Chris Clemons will battle it out this offseason with 2010 5th-round draft pick Reshad Jones. Both players have had their success and fair share of struggles. It will be a very competitive battle to see who lands the starting job. Both players show plenty of upside. We had the good fortune to interview with the current Dolphins' starting free safety Chris Clemons to see what he thinks of this competition.
1) How do you feel about going into year two of Mike Nolan's defense?
I feel really good about going in year two. I am much more comfortable with the scheme and it seemed that every game things were coming easier to me.
2) Do you still feel there is room for improvement on this defense?
I feel there's always room for improvement. We can always create more turnovers giving the offense more opportunities.
3) What do you think the biggest hole in this defense is?
I don't think there's really a big hole, I think we have to be more balanced. Have to stop both the run and pass every game.
4) Do you think you have the best dreads in Miami since Ricky?
Yeah I feel like I have the best dreads since Ricky.
5) What do you think you need to improve in your game to put you over the top?
I think I have to come down with more balls especially the deep balls. I think I have to take more chances when I have the opportunity.
6) Do you and Reshad Jones have a good relationship or is it purely competitive?
Yeah we have a good relationship but when we step in-between the line it's all competitive. I like to compete no matter who it's against.
7) What's your overall goal for 2012?
My overall goal for 2012 is to win the division then the Super Bowl. Personally, my goal is to be one of the top safeties in the league. Make more plays than I did a year ago.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have some additional thoughts for your answer about hardening of the arteries.
When I worked in The National Health Service Corps in rural Pennsylvania, patients specifically used the term "hardening of the arteries" to describe their elderly relatives with dementia. This was in the era before brain scans. Now we would call the condition either Alzheimer's disease or multi-infarct dementia. - R.B., M.D.
ANSWER: Many people use "dementia" as a distinct brain illness; it isn't. It's a blanket word that covers all brain disorders where brain function deteriorates. Among the functions that go are memory, difficulty in performing simple arithmetic, the inability to use proper words, a severe limitation on learning anything new and the feeling of being overwhelmed when it comes to making a decision. People with dementia often dress inappropriately, putting on a winter coat in the middle of summer. They become lost in what should be familiar locations. "Senility" was once a popular word for dementia, as was "artery hardening."
Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent kind of dementia. It accounts for more than 60 percent of cases.
In second place is vascular dementia. About 20 percent of dementia is due to this illness. It comes about from brain arteries clogged with cholesterol and other materials. Artery-hardening is one popular way of referring to vascular dementia. The more correct term is multi-infarct dementia. The clogged arteries don't bring blood to the brain, and that area of the brain dies; a small or large stroke results. Many such strokes constitute multi-infarct dementia, "infarct" being a medical term for "death of tissues."
Multi-infarct dementia, unlike Alzheimer's disease, leads to a sudden change in mental function. The change remains the same for some period of time until there's another stroke, which leaves the person with another sudden and prominent decrease in mental functioning. Multi-infarct dementia most often occurs in people who have diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease - or all three. Treatment for this kind of dementia involves treating the underlying illnesses. Thanks so much for your letter, doctor.
The booklet on Alzheimer's disease gives a detailed presentation of this common illness. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue - No. 903, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What type of bread would you consider to be the most healthy?
I always thought I was eating healthy with whole-wheat bread. The attached article takes the position that whole-wheat bread is bad for the body. Are 10 slices of whole-wheat bread per week too much?
I look forward to your feedback. - C.S.
ANSWER: I don't understand this article.
The author cites a study of people with celiac disease. Celiac disease is a disorder in which a person's small intestine cannot tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. People with this illness have to follow a diet that eliminates these grains. This isn't the standard for the rest of the population.
I believe, and I'm not alone in this belief, that whole-grain breads are the best bet for health. "Whole grain" indicates that that the grain retains all its constituents, including its outer coat, bran. It hasn't been refined. Retaining the bran of grains gives us a source of fiber. Fiber helps overcome constipation. Ten slices of whole-wheat bread is no health threat.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have heard that one is not supposed to take thyroid medicine and calcium supplements at the same time. Please comment. I am sure many people take both. - S.H.
ANSWER: Calcium carbonate, the most widely used calcium supplement, possibly binds with thyroid hormone. That limits its absorption. It may happen with other calcium preparations. It's best to separate by four hours the taking of thyroid hormone and calcium.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have a nasal polyp that my otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat doctor) is treating with the application of Nasonex. The hope is the polyp will shrink and I will avoid having to have it removed. I was told I had this polyp over 20 years ago.
Does Nasonex have any long-term effects? If the polyp doesn't shrink, can I leave it alone? - J.S.
ANSWER: Nasonex is mometasone, a cortisone drug. The intranasal application of it is a standard treatment for a polyp. It will not have long-term effects.
If the polyp doesn't obstruct air getting through the affected nostril, you can let it be.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am 71 and need to watch what I spend. I have trouble with earwax buildup. I've tried using both oil and warm water in my ear without much progress. What is a good, ongoing practice to keep the earwax from interfering with my hearing? - S.T.
ANSWER: Don't try any of this if you have a hole in your eardrum or have had ear surgery. Let a doctor take care of the problem. Don't use a cotton-tipped swab, a bobby pin or a straightened paper clip to remove wax.
You can buy earwax softeners in a drugstore. Two popular ones are Debrox and Murine Earwax Removal. Follow the instructions about instilling them into the ear canal. After a designated wait, flush the canal with warm water while bending over a sink. You can make your own softener by warming mineral oil or vegetable oil and putting a few drops in your ear. Don't let the oil get hot. Wait 15 minutes before you flush the ear with warm water.

I just noticed yesterday....the backs of my hands look at least 10 years younger. I was beginning to get granny-hands, but now they're young again. Amazing!
You know how it goes... you start PB because you want to lose weight/ gain weight/ get healthy - and after a while, you suddenly notice some weird little thing that's changed. Nothing you'd thought of changing, something you just thought was 'normal' or 'normal ageing' and part of life, until it suddenly isn't.
Like for instance...
- no more spots on my back
- no more dandruff in my eyebrows
- no more hurriedly putting down big saucepans when dishing up because of wrist pain
- no more bellyache
Any more?
I just noticed yesterday....the backs of my hands look at least 10 years younger. I was beginning to get granny-hands, but now they're young again. Amazing!
Zone diet on and off for several years....worked, but too much focus on exact meal composition
Primal since July 2010...skinniest I've ever been and the least stressed about food
Now that you mention it...I used to get a terrible pain in my right wrist. I always chalked it up to having slept wrong. My right hand would pretty much be useless (not good when trying to put down food bowls for 18 dogs and having to hold a big stack of bowls in one arm and open crate doors/set bowls down with the other). Anyhoo...The last time my wrist started hurting was when I fell off the primal wagon for a bit.
Heather and the hounds - Make a Fast Friend, Adopt a Greyhound!
That's how it goes, isn't it? It's a 'come to think of it'/ 'now you mention it' thing. You don't notice the absence of some regular ache/pain/minor nuisance; then you suddenly think of it and start trying to remember when you last experienced it. Ditto for intermittent pain under the ribcage, which I suppose might have been gallbladder.
(By the way - my Grannie's final dog was an ex-racing greyhound called Meg. The gentlest, softest, least demanding dog I ever met, and perfect company for Grannie in her late 90s.)
--No more weird jaw pain.
--No more tooth sensitivity to hot/cold.
--And now that you mention it, the backs of my hands do look younger.
If I don't live my dream, who will?
- I dream now. And my dreams are vivid and interesting.
- My knees no longer creak and crack when I get up from a squat.
- When I get up from squatting for a longer period of time, I'm no longer light headed or dizzy.
- No more headaches.
- Air of smug superiority when I'm behind people buying a hundred dollars worth of grain and gluten products (j/k?)
No more heat/exercise induced hives. This is huge for me because I've suffered with hives for 15 years. Living in Florida, the hives really limited what I could do during the summer. It was so miserable and people would look at me like I was about to drop dead at any moment. When I cut out grain, the hives went away. I still get red faced but no hives.
i notice what people have in their carts now, i also notice how unhealthy they look, skinwise. pallor, dark eye circles. adults and kids :/
- i feel better overall
- i'm digesting food much more easily
- i really like chicken skin and fatty parts on meat so that's a perk i love
- that bumpy skin condition thing i've always had on my arms seems to be easing up
and now that i think of it, after reading all of your replies, my knees aren't popping when i squat, my teeth aren't sensitive. wow, yay
Just thought of another couple
--I actually EAT the vegetables I buy. And I eat them happily. I used to throw an embarrassing quantity of veggies away, because they're just not that appealing after a day of grains and sugar. So they'd go bad. Just remembered this when I opened the veggie drawer expecting to have some celery and peppers, but they're all gone!
--When I feel the need for some comfort food (eg. stressful meeting on Friday) I *can* comfort myself with food (eg. lamb riblets braised in broth and balsamic with onions and celery...that's where the celery went!)
Zone diet on and off for several years....worked, but too much focus on exact meal composition
Primal since July 2010...skinniest I've ever been and the least stressed about food
I'll eat fruit or veg when I'm hungry and it does the trick. BPB (if that isn't in the acronyms list, it ought to be) the only thing that could fill me up was starch - usually a big bowl of healthy wholewheat muesli .
And ditto on the bumpy skin thing - not gone, but much reduced. It's called keratosis pilaris, apparently, and associated with vitamin A deficiency.

2004 - 2005 Graduate Business Programs
Master of Business Administration
Information Resource Management
Business Economics
International Business
Organizational Development
Financial Planning
Technology Commercialization
Human Resource Management
Admission to Graduate Business Programs is competitive. Applicants must submit the following materials to the Office of Admissions:
Upon completion of these steps, application materials are submitted to the Graduate Admissions Committee. If accepted, applicants must submit a $250 tuition deposit in order to guarantee a place in the entering class.
Students must complete all required courses as determined by their program. On occasion, and only with the approval of the MBA Program Director, a student may take a higher-level course within a specific subject area based on professional experience and prior business education.
Electives should be used by students to gain experience in areas specific to the student's long-term career goals. MBA students may take electives in either the MBA program (courses designated as MBA), or in the technology program (MTECH).
Students are assigned the catalog year in which they are accepted into the program. Students can complete the requirements of the program at a self-determined pace; however, the program must be completed within six (6) years. Students who do not complete their program requirements within the six (6) year time frame, but continue to satisfactorily progress, are moved up to the next catalog year.
Students who do not take classes for two (2) consecutive semesters are deactivated. Students in this situation must apply for readmission and reenter the program under the current catalog year that they are readmitted.
Students are expected to maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0. Students whose cumulative grade point average falls below a 3.0 will be placed on academic probation. Students placed on academic probation must earn a semester grade point average of at least 3.0 the next semester in which they enroll. Probationary students who fail to earn a semester grade point average of at least 3.0 that semester will be suspended from their program.
Probationary students whose semester grade point average is 3.0 or higher but whose cumulative grade point average still remains below 3.0 will continue on academic probation. Probationary students whose cumulative grade point average reaches 3.0 or higher will be returned to good academic standing. To qualify for graduation, students must earn a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
Probationary students are required to meet with the Program Director prior to enrolling for the upcoming semester.
Suspended students may petition the Graduate Admissions Review Committee for readmission at any time prior to the beginning of the semester in which they wish to enroll; however, unless extenuating circumstances exist, suspended students are required to remain out of the college for at least one semester before appealing for readmission. Students who feel extenuating circumstances contributed to their failure to meet minimum grade point requirements may choose to appeal for readmission immediately following the suspension.
To appeal for readmission, students must submit a letter to the Graduate Admissions Review Committee (Office of Admissions) giving evidence that supports the request for readmission. Petitioning students will be notified of the Review Committee meeting and will be given the opportunity to present their cases in person. Decisions of the Graduate Admissions Review Committee are final. Students readmitted through the appeals procedure are placed on continued probation and must meet the minimum 3.0 grade point average requirement that semester.
Students who have been out of the college for more than two semesters must also submit an application for readmission to the Admissions Office. Students readmitted after more than two semesters will be required to meet program requirements for the catalog in effect at the time of readmission.
Candidates for graduation must apply to the Registrar's Office two regular
semesters prior to planned completion of graduation requirements. Candidates
are notified of remaining degree requirements within four weeks after applying
for graduation.
To be eligible for a master's degree or graduate certificate, students must satisfy the following conditions:
Note: A grade of C is the lowest passing grade for all graduate courses except for MBA 651, MTECH 628, and MTECH 629 where a grade of B is the minimum acceptable grade. Failure to meet these standards will result in probation and/or suspension. Students must take all graduate course work, including survey courses, for letter grades.
The final responsibility for being informed about, and adhering to, graduation requirements rests with the individual.
The faculty in the Bill and Vieve Gore School of Business has developed the following academic standards to support its mission and goals. They are presented here to help the student understand his/her responsibilities as a student in the program.

"I love this class. I am a working mom with a baby and a toddler, so I needed something that could satisfy my Thai food cravings but at the same time be doable. The recipes are easy to follow, the ingredients can be bought in any supermarket and the meals can be prepared in a short time. Thank you Nancy for this excellent class, all of the dishes I've prepared so far have been truly delicious! "

We've said several times in this space that this area should benefit the most for being the host to some of the world's greatest natural gas production.
Given the infrastructure pressures that go with the process not to mention the heightened vigilance toward our environment that must accompany natural gas drilling, it's only fair that the region glean some benefits beyond those elsewhere.
So we're heartened by legislation being promoted by state Sen. E. Eugene Yaw, a Loyalsock Township Republican who represents most of our region. The legislation is geared toward getting the region's abundant supplies of natural gas into more schools, hospitals, small businesses and houses.
The bills, which have the sponsor backing of Sen. Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, a Chester County Republican, would create systems for extension of natural gas service by expansion of natural gas distribution systems. Given that natural gas is about one-fourth the cost of gasoline, the implications for consumers are obvious.
Yaw hopes the bill will help expand natural gas service into residential neighborhoods.
Senate Bill 738 sets up rules for utilities that distribute natural gas and Senate Bill 739 amends the Alternative Energy Investment Act to provide $15 million for grants to schools, hospitals and small businesses to obtain access to natural gas service.
The bills represent the next step in the expansion of natural gas service in our region the practical application of all that water hauling, exploration, drilling and processing of natural gas that's been going on the past decade.

5 Terrifying Implications of Surviving a Horror Movie
#2. The Descent
The Descent is an adorable little tale of a group of girls with a passion for spelunking who get eaten by grub people in a massive system of caves, except for the one lady at the end who gets away. (This actually depends on what version of the movie you saw, but let's just say you watched the version in which she got away, which, technically, has to be the official ending, because they made a sequel.)
So that scene where she woke up from the escape-dream was itself a dream.
Like Inception, but with an overzealous makeup department.
In the sequel, the woman leads another group back to the cave, because that's how horror movies work: Officials don't believe you and, assuming you're a lying murderer, follow you back to an isolated cave system to see if your story about the penis monsters pans out. For real though, didn't they look like a bunch of foreskin men? They so did.
Naturally, everyone dies again with the help of one weirdo who is trying to keep the monsters' secret. Those foreskindlers sure are voracious!
They only took tiiiips!
But the issue here is that she got away once. The story got out. Unless local law enforcement and the team of experts decided that they'd take the word of the lady they had already assumed was a murderer, more people are coming. Help is on the way.
Eventually, those dick beasts, too full of new people meat, or with their numbers dwindling so much they won't be able to rely on human stupidity to keep them secret anymore, will be discovered. With an entirely new life-form to study, scientists will ship the foreskin men around the world for research. They'll go to zoos. They'll be bred and protected as an endangered species. Then it's only a matter of time before the world's first bipedal, cannibalistic phalli become the targets of hunters looking to up the ante with more exotic game. And is there a chance they wouldn't be used in some kind of weird sporting event where they get tossed in a pit and forced to fight to the death while people place bets? Not likely.
Finally, something to reinvigorate reality TV.
#1. The Ring
The Ring and its sequel were pretty popular films despite the complete ridiculousness of the plot and how weird that Aidan kid was. For real -- ignore the girl in the well -- what was his deal? He looked like the only 7-year-old in the world on a three-week bender. He looked like he'd taste your toothbrush.
And then steal all your coke.
So, in a nutshell, The Ring is about an evil little girl who, in reality, is just an asshole who likes killing everyone. Kill, kill, kill! All damn day. And, naturally, she uses the magical technology of VHS tapes to facilitate this.
Across the first movie and its sequel, the creepy kid and his mom, Rachel, try to survive the awful little girl's wrath, and eventually, they put a stop to her (and not by doing nothing that makes any sense, but -- shh! -- no time to worry about that). The bigger problem is that the first victim was the little boy's cousin. Then, right after Rachel visits him, it's the little girl's adopted father. Then it's the creepy boy's dad. And the bodies following Rachel across the country continue to pile up until they are a generous handful of corpses that she's had direct contact with, most of whom died the same, mysterious way. You don't have to be Detective Fin Tutuola to figure out that some fishy shit is afoot here. (But if you were Detective Fin Tutuola, you'd say something like "Yo, look at the size of my wife's ass. You wanna see something that really kills? Dat ass!" It's not profound, but he still might say it.)
In fact, that kind of makes it more likely.
Once the evil little girl is stored safe and sound in her well, Rachel would have had only a few days before police, likely investigating the death of the doctor who had forbidden her access to her own son when she tried to drown him, came a-knockin'. They'd already be aware that the boy's dad and cousin had died at that point as well ... kind of like a couple of local teens had. Hmm. And unless she's the smoothest talker on earth and can really sell the "evil dead girl who comes out of the TV" excuse that we all try to cover our own asses now and again, odds are she's looking at consecutive life sentences.
And one hell of a plumbing bill.

Dancing with the Stars fans may have noticed that Chaz Bono had a special someone supporting him each week on the sidelines of the ballroom: his fiancée, Jennifer Elia.
Now on Being Chaz – a follow-up to the Emmy-nominated documentary Becoming Chaz, which highlighted Bono's transition from female to male – viewers will witness an intimate moment between the couple as Bono, 42, gives her an engagement ring in Seattle. (Watch a clip above.)
"It's gorgeous. Thank you so much," Elia says of the sparkler. "It's stunning. It's huge."
The one-hour special, which airs Sunday on OWN (8 p.m. ET), documents their good times and their bad times, like when Bono faced backlash for being the first transgender contestant to compete on Dancing.
"People feel so angry that Chaz is entering their television," a tearful Elia says in another clip (below). "People who make change get shot, and I don't think that's worth it. ... This is insane. It's not worth doing a show if you're going to get shot."
"I don't want him to die for a cause," she added.
Following Being Chaz, OWN will air another documentary special, I Am Jazz: A Family in Transition (9 p.m. ET), which follows an 11-year-old transgender girl named Jazz and her family as they make life-changing decisions about how their daughter will grow up.

Surrogate Model Optimization Toolbox
Müller, Juliane
Name: SurrogateOptimiza ...
Size: 1.889Mb

Department: Matematiikan laitos – Department of Mathematics
This user guide accompanies the surrogate model toolbox for global optimization problems. The toolbox is made for computationally expensive black-box global optimization problems with continuous, integer, or mixed-integer variables. Problems where several or all variables have to be integers may also have black-box constraints, whereas purely continuous problems may only have box constraints. For problems with computationally cheap function evaluations the toolbox may not be very efficient. Surrogate models are intended to be used when function evaluations take from several minutes to several hours or more. When reading this manual it is recommended to simultaneously take a look at the code. The code is set up such that the user only has to define his/her optimization problem in a Matlab file (see Section 6.1). Additional input such as the surrogate model to be used, the sampling strategy, or starting points are optional (see Section 6). This document is structured as follows. In Section 2 the general structure of a surrogate model algorithm is summarized. The installation is described in Section 3. The dependencies of the single functions in the code are shown in Section 4. Section 5 briefly summarizes how the surrogate model algorithm works in general. Section 6 describes the options for the input of the main function. In Section 7 the input and output of the single subfunctions of the algorithm are described. Examples for using the surrogate model algorithm are given in Section 8. In Section 9 it is explained how the user can define an own (mixture) surrogate model and an example is given. The elements of the saved results are described in Section 10.

Your approach to B2B social media must be thoughtful if you are going to be successful in driving business for your B2B company. Marketers and communicators need to focus on how they can make a difference, and that begins with thinking. Can you see the big picture of your organization, your industry and the business world in general? Can you read about examples of other companies' efforts and think about the takeaways that apply to your company? Can you understand tactic execution plans and make them happen? If your answer to all these questions is yes, please read on, as you will find some value in the articles below.
If there are other things you are thinking about, or have been inspired to think about by a recent article you read, share it in the comments below.
How Social Digital Is Your Company?
from Harvard Business Review blog
Recently, the CEO of Edelman wrote a blog post celebrating a company milestone. In it, he referenced our efforts in the non-analog world as "social digital." To most, this may seem insignificant because the word "social" is often overused in professional circles. But the addition of "social" to the "digital" is immensely significant because it symbolizes that the current revolution is not only digital, but codependent on social behaviors and interactions from human beings. If the digital revolution was about computers being connected (the internet) then the social-digital revolution is about people being connected (the social web).

25 business-tastic B2B social media case studies
from Econsultancy blog
I've been asked quite a few times over the past couple of weeks for examples of social media marketing being used in a B2B context. This is actually more prevalent than a lot of marketers appear to realise – and is certainly something that's not new to the marketplace. Here's some great examples of B2B organisations using social media with commercial purpose. Some are old, some new, some you might be familiar with, others perhaps not.

4 B2B Social Media & SEO Blunders to Avoid
from TopRank blog
There are some things that you can't take back: including what you release on the Internet. With over 93% of B2B marketers using social media, online sales has very much become a social business. As marketers we need to do our best to present as well online as we do in person (if not better). Creating an effective online marketing plan amongst all the changes on the social web isn't easy, but here are a few things you may want to avoid.

Take the guess work out of B2B guest blogging
from MLT Creative blog
One of the best ways to add more voice and variety to your B2B blog is to open it up to guest bloggers. Your blog may start out with one individual responsible for all of its original content. If that's showing positive results and attracting engagement from your marketplace, you're doing a great job. But you can do better.

Emerging Leaders in the Arts Buffalo, the group that sponsored last year's City of Night festival in the industrial complex known as Silo Cities, is hosting a kind of cabaret variety show Saturday night in the Alt Theatre. "ELABaret: The Perils of Love" will feature readings, visual art and performances that range from "serious to silly and even scandalous."
Included in the program are playwright Justin Karcher, artist Marissa Lehner, dancer Leslie Fineberg and the Stripteasers, one of Buffalo's busier burlesque performance groups.

Shoppers were already lined up Monday in hopes of scoring some Black Friday deals offered at Best Buy.
Campers were seen sleeping in tents at the Best Buy locations in Sacramento and Elk Grove.
The same is true for stores across the country.
During the 2011 holiday buying season, Best Buy offered online Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, but they didn't have enough stock to fill the orders.
Then the company made it worse by notifying customers only a week before Christmas.
This year, the electronics retailer says it has new policies that include strict back-order limits and quicker order status notifications.
If Best Buy can't fill your Black Friday order, you should hear about it no later than Dec. 7.

What did she know, and when did she know it?
The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that if Hillary Clinton had her way, her successor would be Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) rather than the embattled U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.
Clinton, of course, served with Kerry when she was in the Senate, and supported him in his failed bid for the presidency in 2004. Kerry is the current chair of the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee and has long had an abiding interest in "foreign affairs."
"Hillary is not close to Rice, who is tough — but is not the friendliest person," said a top White House source quoted recently in several media outlets, including the Sun-Times. "And Hillary's brief comment recently that Rice had done 'a great job' was considered underwhelming and tepid."
"It would be hard for President Obama to back away from Rice, but he's dealing with what's known as "the Club of the Senate," which includes Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain, who is apparently totally against Rice and a virtual cheerleader for Kerry.
I smell a rat.
A favorable "job reference" on Rice's behalf from Hillary Clinton at this point in the obviously contrived "controversy" over the Obama administration's handling of the Benghazi imbroglio would most likely make all the difference. But if the reports of bad or at least hot blood between the two strong-willed women are true, then we should not hold our breath waiting for Hillary's press release endorsing Rice.
On the other hand, and as stated above, should the president "cave" into the wishes of the Senate naysayers and Rice detractors, he will, once again, appear to have done just that – "cave." What McCain and his senate caballeros are doing is as clear as mud. McCain himself literally reeks of bitterness that the man who defeated him in 2008 has now defeated another Republican presidential candidate and is poised to bring some real change to the American political landscape.
But beyond McCain's continuing sour grapes, Republicans generally are still having a hard time believing, accepting that Obama beat them again. All kinds of excuses and rationales are being offered for their predicament: Obama outspent them; his "ground game" was far too sophisticated and effective; the "minorities" conspired to vote for "free stuff," "gifts," and slothfulness. And, of course, women, particularly white women of all classes, simply misunderstood the Republican message this time around due to some unseemly remarks from some out of control down ballot candidates.
Oh, and the latest reason they lost? Obama and his supporters committed "massive voter fraud" throughout the country, and thus "stole" the election from a deserving Willard Mitt Romney. (This last one is dripping with an irony that Republicans just can't seem to grasp. It comes from the same folks who brought us fraudulent elections in both 2000 and 2004).
For those Republicans who have accepted the voters' verdict, the Susan Rice/John Kerry question presents an opportunity for them to serve up a significant early defeat for President Obama. Sort of a line in the sand kind of thing, a signal that even though he may have beat them at the polls, he will not be allowed to run roughshod over them in Washington.
And then there is the whole question of how Hillary Clinton, who is, after all, the secretary of state, has managed to remained unscathed by this so-called scandal over Libya. Since we have been dragged into this thing, where are the questions and investigations and testimony of Madam Secretary?
Indeed and again, what did she know, and when did she know it?
So Clinton's non-endorsement-endorsement of Ambassador Rice falls right in line with the Republican meme of continued obstruction of the president and his policies. Clinton must know this. But she does not seem to care -- or...she is motivated by "other" concerns.
How do you spell 2-0-1-6?
