Riding Solo
PHOTO: Ben Ingham
I'd been warned the racing season was a long one. While everyone is keen in March and April, July and August weigh heavy on the heart. Speed builds and disappears. Some great races make way for those where the peloton disappears up the road and you're left suffering the indignity of abandoned finish lines and last place results.
By July I'd found a deep love for speeds I once shirked from, gradients once dreaded grew into adrenaline-fueled rivalries, me and my machine against the hill. But for every race, some of the fire disappeared. I wasn't going to win. I wasn't even going to podium. I felt a small sense of accomplishment for each race where I didn't get dropped from the pack. But even that felt insignificant and somewhat futile.
I'd been counting down to July for months, aware my better half would disappear to race on the Continent and then ride in the Rockies for two months. His sabbatical was my romantic purgatory. So as midsummer flooded in upon me, I wasn't expecting the one thing which gave me strength and kept me focused to disappear as well.
Here, after 12 months of punishing turbo sessions, monastic avoidance of cheese, alcohol and desserts, early morning training sessions in angry rain, all I wanted was to be alone with the road again. No distracting goals or benchmarks or heart rates or personal bests. Something solitary. Something meandering and wild. Something profoundly calm and at ease with the world around it.
To paraphrase the new-age pundits, racing wasn't going to help me find my centre. It might get me fit, it might give me goals, new friends, new found confidence. But racing wasn't going to make me a better person. At least no better than I already was. I hadn't started racing because I wanted it to change my life but nonetheless, by July I was changed. There was no going back but racing itself wasn't going to do much more for me at that moment. There is no nirvana in a bunch sprint.
I wanted to eat croissants and gelato by the side of the road. I wanted espresso for the beans not the adrenaline kick at a start line. I wanted to descend around narrow hairpin bends with loose arms to avoid dropping off the cliff face on the other side, rather than the tarmac of the circuit. I wanted to believe in romance and the fate found in unnaturally small bottles of foreign colas.
Some call this burnout. I prefer to think of it as a recharging. As the kind of girl who does things all-or-nothing, I suffer the inability to find continued balance in my life. If not impossible, balance certainly feels unnatural.
I didn't stop racing in July and August. But I did stop worrying about it. I even stopped training. Conveniently forgetting my Polar strap and too lazy to put it on before leaving the house, I'd ride without numbers. Buttery pastries and fine-roasted coffee replaced energy bars and caffeine gels. I went off-road for the first time. I broke a chain and didn't get it properly fixed for a couple weeks. I even raced on said chain. It just didn't matter; I just rode. I let the loneliness of the hills seep into my bones again.
And as soon as I let go, I found my strength again. Without the competition. Without the rush. Without the red mist. Riding solo.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi voiced confidence on Wednesday that Representative Jane Harman "would never do anything to hurt her country."
Pelosi did so while disclosing that federal investigators advised the speaker a few years back it had overheard Harman, a fellow California Democrat, on wiretapped telephone calls.
"I have great confidence in Jane Harman," Pelosi told reporters. "She's a patriotic American. She would never do anything to hurt her country."
Pelosi made the comments a day after Harman demanded that the Justice Department release tapes and transcripts of any wiretaps to buttress her claims that she did not intervene in an espionage case.
Harman has accused the government of an "abuse of power" and denied reports she had offered to try to help two pro-Israel lobbyists charged with espionage in exchange for assistance in getting Democrats to appoint her to lead the intelligence committee.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Powerball players poured into lottery retailers Wednesday for a last-minute chance at becoming an instant millionaire.
The record jackpot of $550 million had siblings James and Erin Sullivan wondering what they would do with the winnings.
"Our parents will probably take it," said James. "Yeah, they'll take most of it," Erin laughed.
Even if they don't take home the big prize, James and Erin, will still benefit from the Powerball game as students in Sunshine State.
Since the rollover started in October, the record Powerball series generated $47 million for Florida's education fund. State lottery executives say that's money Florida schools didn't know they would have.
Florida is, I think, the only state that bonds its lottery revenues so we can renovate schools and build new ones," Florida Lottery Deputy Secretary Dennis Harmon told Action News. "Community colleges, university's, and school boards across the state will benefit from the Powerball sales."
Florida's Powerball retailers are celebrating, too. A record 16 million tickets were sold in Florida Wednesday.
"It's been going constant all day long," said Sam Yazji, owner of Grand Central Station market in Arlington. The line inside his store started when he opened, and he'd sold 4,500 Powerball tickets before 6 p.m.
As many as 25,000 tickets were sold per minute across the state Wednesday, and retailers like Yazji make $0.10 for each, plus commission, as well as exposure to new customers.
"By the time they buy a ticket, they may buy something else. Every little bit helps."
Since Powerball was introduced in Florida in 2009, it has grossed $622 million for education in Florida. Despite a price increase from $1 to $2, Powerball sales topped $61 billion nationwide last year, up 35% from the year before. Lottery executives expect that number to continue to grow, even in a tough economy.

NGE >> Education >> Libraries, Museums, Institutions, and Archives >> Cyclorama |
Cyclorama "Cyclorama" is the name given to the huge, late-nineteenth-century painting depicting the Civil War battle fought July 22, 1864, east of Atlanta. Housed in Atlanta's Grant Park
Cycloramic murals—building-sized paintings hung circularly for viewing from the inside—were a European innovation of the late nineteenth century. Frenchman Paul Philippoteaux supervised the painting of a cyclorama of the Battle of Gettysburg, which came to this country in 1884 and remains a prominent attraction at the Gettysburg National Military Park. German artists also produced cycloramas, such as those depicting battles of the Franco-Prussian War. A number of them were recruited to America in 1883 by William Wehner of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who ran the American Panorama Company, dedicated to cycloramic art. Thirteen artists painted The Battle of Missionary Ridge in 1883-84 and then turned to the Battle of Atlanta as the subject for their next mural. The company's choice of subject was influenced by one patron, the Republican Illinois senator John A. Logan, who ran unsuccessfully for vice president in 1884 and was rumored to be a candidate for the presidential nomination in 1888. A former Union general, Logan commanded the Fifteenth Corps in the Battle of Atlanta and assumed command of the Army of the Tennessee after the death of General James B. McPherson. In the summer of 1885 the Milwaukee artists came to Atlanta for field study. Twenty years after the war, histories of the battle were in print, but the artists received most of the technical advice from Union and Confederate veterans. Assisting was Theodore Davis, wartime illustrator for Harper's Weekly, who had followed General William T. Sherman's armies. With trench lines outside Atlanta still extant, the artists fixed as the point of reference a site just inside Union lines at the Georgia Railroad, running eastward from the city. From a forty-foot tower they studied the terrain and sketched layouts. After several months on site, they returned to their Milwaukee studio, where, supervised by F. W. Heine and August Lohr, the artists—all specialists in landscapes, figures, and animals—completed the painting. At its debut in Detroit in February 1887, the work was billed as "Logan's Great Battle" (although the senator had died three months before). The heavy canvases were draped on wooden frames, which were moved and reassembled at Minneapolis, Minnesota, and then Indianapolis, Indiana, where the Cyclorama opened in May 1888. Wehner sold the painting to an Indianapolis art exhibit company, which in turn sold it in 1890 to Paul Atkinson of Madison, Georgia. Atkinson, already the owner of the Missionary Ridge cyclorama, sent the Atlanta painting to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and brought the former to Atlanta, exhibiting it in a circular building on Edgewood Avenue until February 1892. Missionary Ridge then traveled to Nashville, Tennessee, where it was later destroyed in a hurricane; in its place, The Battle of Atlanta opened in Atlanta on February 22, 1892. Resale to various owners led to its purchase at the Edgewood Avenue exhibition hall by Atlanta businessman George V. Gress, who donated the painting to the city in March 1898 after providing it with housing in Grant Park. Grant Park is a public park established in 1883 and named for Atlantan Lemuel P. Grant, the donor of the park land, who as a Confederate engineer had surveyed for the fortifications around Atlanta. The painting takes in a wide sweep of the area: the skyline of Atlanta, Kennesaw Mountain, Stone Mountain, and the smoke of a cavalry fight at Decatur. Details of the battle are as if the viewer stood just inside the Fifteenth Corps lines at about 4:30 p.m. on July 22.
The Cyclorama has been housed at Grant Park since the 1890s. In 1921 a new building, designed by Atlanta architect John Francis Downing, took in the painting and, six years later, the locomotive Texas, famous in the Andrews Raid of 1862. In 1934-36, funded by the Works Progress Administration, artists Weis Snell, Joseph Llorens, and Wilbur Kurtz fashioned plaster figures for a diorama as foreground for the painting. Set on a flooring of red clay, the shrubbery, cannon, track, and 128 soldiers (twenty inches to fifty inches tall, to fit in perspective with the scale of the painting), give the painting more realism and extend it thirty feet toward the viewing platform. After Clark Gable visited the Cyclorama in December 1939 while in Atlanta for the premiere of Gone With the Wind, Mayor William B. Hartsfield had Snell make a figure of a Union corpse with a face painted to resemble Gable's Rhett Butler. Deterioration of the painting and water damage led to an $11 million restoration of the Cyclorama in 1979-81. Under the supervision of Gustav Berger, the canvas was cleaned and treated, and the paint colors were restored. In the diorama the clay was replaced with a fiberglass and plastic flooring by Joseph Hurt (a descendant of Troup Hurt), and the plaster figures were reset. The building was remodeled and equipped with a 184-seat, tiered viewing platform, which rotates slowly as recorded narrative describes the painting. The upstairs museum was also updated, with artifacts given mostly by a former Cyclorama employee. The new Cyclorama reopened in June 1982 and continues to draw visitors from around the world.

Convicted stabber Frank Soriano jailed for allegedly contacting witness who testified against him
BALLSTON SPA — Convicted road-rage stabber Frank Soriano was thrown in jail to await sentencing Monday after prosecutors say he inappropriately tried to contact a witness from his felony assault trial.
Saratoga County District Attorney James A. Murphy III said Soriano, 65, of Damascus Drive had "inappropriate" contact with a witness in his trial and that Judge Jerry Scarano revoked his bail Monday.
Attorney Michael Koenig, who represented Soriano during the trial, said he is "reviewing the court's decision and deciding what steps to take."
Murphy confirmed published reports alleging Soriano drove to a school bus stop Oct. 18 in front of the home of one of the witnesses who testified against him and asked two women standing there if either was the witness. They weren't, so he allegedly asked them to pass along a message to the witness thanking her for her testimony.
The witness contacted the district attorney's office.
Soriano's attorney said the allegation wasn't a threat.
"Even if he made the comments he is alleged to have made, there was nothing threatening whatsoever about them and nothing inappropriate about them," he said.
It's the second such allegation made against Soriano. New York State Police said Monday that Soriano was accused in September of harassing a witness, but that the contact was deemed incidental because it appeared Soriano and the witness only happened to be in the same public place at the same time.
Soriano is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 29. The former corrections officer is facing up to seven years in prison for stabbing Jeffrey Streicher three times Sept. 10, 2011, during a fist fight following a minor car accident.
Witnesses said Soriano was driving erratically and rammed Streicher's car from behind. When the two got out of their cars, Soriano attacked Streicher, punching him and bear-hugging him. Continued...
When Streicher fought him off, Soriano pulled a T-handled dagger and stabbed Streicher, who was transported by helicopter to Albany Medical Center in critical condition.
In his testimony, Soriano said he was only defending himself in the encounter.
A jury convicted him of second-degree assault, a violent felony, and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a misdemeanor. They acquitted him, though, on a first-degree assault charge that might have sent him to prison for up to 25 years.
Murphy said Soriano will be in jail until his sentencing.

A Revolution in Education
OK, I've had Notebook 11 for a few weeks and there are some features I like, and one that is bugging me. How do you get SMART Ink to stop attaching a tab to every blessed window, sub-window that open? I have SMART Ink tabs on every email window. I can turn one off but it's very persistent. Any ideas?
Tags: 11, Ink, Mac, Notebook, SMART
I'm wondering the same thing. SMART's Help says to disable it you should:
Press SMART Ink on the toolbar.
A drop-down menu appears.
Select Erase and Hide.
But on my Mac I don't see that option. I also don't see it in System Preferences anywhere.
That option to Erase and Hide is there when I am not connected to the SB
That's the crazy thing--I was disconnected from the board (not even in the same room) the entire next day after it first appeared and it was still there. Although after I turned the ink off of a couple of windows and then restarted, it seems to be gone. For now.
I did see somewhere else that you can go into Activity Monitor in your Utilities and force it to quit from there. Haven't tried it but it might be worth looking into if you're still stuck.
I'm with Greg. The green SMART Ink tabs appear on every window when I connect my Mac to a board. While connected I can't remove the tabs short of force-quitting the application in Activity Monitor. When I unplug the board the tabs turn yellow. Clicking on them then gives me the option to Erase and Hide.
BTW, I LOVE the new window-specific ink layers. This is to me the absolute killer makes-me-push-the-upgrade feature of Notebook 11. Thanks for bringing this to the Mac, SMART!
MacBook w/ 10.7.4 and iMac w/ 10.6.8
For Windows, go to MSConfig and turn off the start up item called SmartInk.
I know this was for Macs, but in the Google search for turning this feature off it was one of the first links.
Sounds daunting. I'll wait until school gets out for that. Thanks for the help.
We mainly use SMART Ink for Internet websites. Do you have directions or a file we can copy to only allow SMART ink to work for just Internet browsers (Safari or Firefox on MAC) and Internet Explorer and Firefox on Windows?

Health expenditure:
To assist in analyses of the resource use and activity of health services. Inclusion of these data, classified by staffing category, allows analysis of costs per unit of labour and analysis of staffing inputs against hospital or service unit outputs.
Full-time equivalent staff units are the on-job hours paid for (including overtime) and hours of paid leave of any type for a staff member (or contract employee where applicable) divided by the number of ordinary-time hours normally paid for a full-time staff member when on the job (or contract employee where applicable) under the relevant award or agreement for the staff member (or contract employee occupation where applicable). Hours of unpaid leave are to be excluded.
Contract staff employed through an agency are included where the contract is for the supply of labour (e.g. nursing) rather than of products (e.g. photocopier maintenance). In the former case, the contract would normally specify the amount of labour supplied and could be reported as full-time equivalent units.

Download all the content you want instantly. Thus, iTunes, OnLive, Steam, and various other services were born. But this convenience bears a steep price. In our rush to embrace the all-digital future, we've sacrificed fundamental property rights.

Air Force wants tougher, ''more survivable'' drones
November 8, 2010 4:27 am | by Jason Lomberg, Technical Editor | Blogs | CommentsThe U.S. military wants its next-generation RPVs to be more survivable in "contested airspace." At a breakfast with reporters in DC, Lt. Gen. Philip Breedlove (the Air Force's chief of operations, plans and requirements) noted the MQ-9 Reaper's shortcomings, and stressed the need for tougher, more durable RPVs.

That's right: it's HULC vs. Iron Man.
Canada gets cold feet over F-35
October 19, 2010 9:53 am | by Jason Lomberg, Technical Editor | Blogs | CommentsA report released by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives calls Canada's planned procurement of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter "fundamentally flawed." According to the CCPA, "Canada does not need the F-35, either for North American/domestic roles or for expeditionary roles."
Raytheon unveils wearable exoskeleton suit
September 28, 2010 12:20 pm | by Jason Lomberg, Technical Editor | Blogs | CommentsCoinciding with the release of Iron Man 2 on Blu-Ray/DVD, Raytheon unveiled a real-life wearable robotic suit. The second-generation exoskeleton (XOS 2) purportedly is lighter, faster and stronger than its predecessor, yet it uses 50 percent less power. Before one conjures Sci-Fi fantasies of space marines, it's worth pointing out what the XOS 2 is not—it isn't a futuristic robotic battle suit.
Consumer rights: Court rules against used software sales
September 13, 2010 10:42 am | by Jason Lomberg, Technical Editor | Articles | CommentsThe 9th Circuit of Appeals has reaffirmed the right of software companies to circumvent the first-sale doctrine by "licensing" rather then "selling" its products. The significance of this ruling cannot be overstated—it could singlehandedly destroy the used software market.

Drones to be equipped with HD cameras?

Yet according to a piece in the Air Force Times, the times they are a-changin'—the military may soon have HD cameras on drones.
Lockheed Martin receives "contract modification" for F-22

There is less than 30 days until I run my second Boston Marathon, and at this point I feel I'm more physically and mentally prepared than last year.
When I ran last year, I was not only up against the nerves of...
1) Heed the warning of minor aches and pains. Those that are not that excruciating but seem to continually hamper you signal that a debilitating injury may be on the way. Let your body heal for 3 – 4 weeks.
2) Is your strength going nowhere? Are you not adding mass? If you have been in a rut for a few weeks, try a 2 week vacation.
Common sense tells us that when we lift our major muscle groups, chest, back, legs, shoulders, we need more rest between sets because we are lifting more weight. Not only does common sense tell us this, experience tells us the same thing. Some power lifters take up to 5 minutes between sets when trying to set a new PR. Olympic lifters will use up to a 3 minute rest period between sets, and bodybuilders typically try and rest as little as possible to get a fat burning affect....

Part 3 of the athletic evaluation is testing linear speed. Again, if you watched the NFL combine last week you probably witnessed some amazing 40 yard dash times. A 306lb lineman ran a 4.65, and the fastest time recorded was a 4.27. Amazing if you ask me, but you should all understand the role that speed plays in sports.
Speed is relative to the sport you play. Speed is much more than just running fast or moving quickly. Speed involves acceleration, which can be from a...
Part II of your athletic evaluation will be another agility test, "The L-Cone Shuttle or 3 Cone Shuttle". Remember, agility is the ability to successfully perform multiple changes of directions at high velocities. During game situations, an athlete is constantly required to accept various forces that are imposed on the body, such as momentum, gravity and ground reaction. The body then needs to be able to...
This past weekend I spent some time watching the NFL Combine. Every year I am more and more amazed at the athleticism. I'm not just talking about the LB's DB's, RB's or QB's either. Watching the TE's and linemen run, move so fluid, change direction and sprint is one of the most incredible things you can watch. Athletes of that size are not supposed to move like that. It goes to show you how training smart and training with a plan can help an...
The weather has been crazy the last few weekends, but that is no reason not to find a way to squeeze in your workout. All you need is a pair of dB's or medball, a small amount of space and a whole lot of energy.
Stay Active, Stay Fit!
Yesterday I was stuck, or better yet, trapped in the house for over 10 hours. I'm having some home improvements to my upstairs bathroom so I was home with the kids all day. Bummer for them, as they were trapped with me. Although we did manage to keep ourselves occupied. At one point I had a solid 15 minutes to try and get a workout in yesterday. So, I thought I would share it with you, because some day you might be in the same situation.
Equipment needed - none.

5 July 2008
OVER A career spanning some 20 years, Richard Herring has built a solid reputation as a comedian's comedian, writes Damien Gayle...
Herring has had a hand in some of the best and most popular comedy of the last twenty years: he wrote for Al Murray, Chris Morris and Armando Ianucci, and recently script edited the third series of David Lucas and Matt Walliams' Little Britain. By his own admission, he is something of a kingmaker in the UK comedy scene.
"To make another comedian laugh is a real achievement," says Herring, "And it's nice to be so respected that others ask you to write something for them or to cast an eye over their material; but really the writing and script-editing is just to make a living."
Despite illustrious writing credits, successful radio shows and regular appearances on the stand-up circuit, Herring is still waiting for the mainstream recognition he deserves, beyond a brief stint on TV in the mid '90s (Fist of Fun and This Morning WIth Richard Not Judy).
But rather than being bitter, he is more circumspect about the path his career has taken: "I was lucky, in a way, not to be too successful. It means I've had to graft, to work hard at remaining funny, rather than getting caught in a particular paradigm."
Now this month Southwark residents will have the chance to see for themselves, as Herring is booked to play a special advance preview of his latest show, The Headmaster's Son, which he is preparing for this summer's Edinburgh Festival.
The Headmaster's Son is a lighthearted reminiscence of Herring's school days in Cheddar, Somerset. "I'm trying to look back at the impact that being the headmaster's son had on my life," Herring says, "but it's more generally about whether you can blame your parents for how you turn out, or whether you have to take responsibility for that yourself."
With a career lasting over two decades, and with no end in sight, Herring has had ample opportunity to develop his style. "When we [Herring and erstwhile partner Stewart Lee] were young we had so many ideas it was bedazzling," he says, "but as you get older you get more perspective and your standards get higher."
Not one to let himself stagnate, he writes two blogs, one on his self-administered website and another for news weekly The New Statesman. "It started as a way to beat writers' block," he tells me, "but it's grown and now I've got a readership of about 3000 people a day. As a stand up you've got to be observant, and so blogging is a great way to expand little observations on life and test them out on an audience."
As well as blogging, Herring has this year launched a successful podcast with fellow comedian Richard Collins. The Collings and Herrin Podcast is one of the most successful regular podcasts on iTunes and, with its homespun production values, gives listeners the real raw edge of comedy, free from interference from marketing and production executives. Says Herring: "The potential for new media is amazing since you can cut out all the interference and go direct to your audience."
Richard Herring will be performing his new show, The Headmaster's Son, at the Southwark Playhouse on July 6th. Tickets are $10 and are available by phone on 0844 847 1656, online at www.southwarkplayhouse.co.uk, or in person at the Southwark Playhouse ticket office.

2013 Las Vegas Bowl Set for Dec. 21
Game to Be Played on Saturday Afternoon for Second Consecutive Year
LAS VEGAS - ESPN Regional Television (ERT), a subsidiary of ESPN, and the Las Vegas Bowl have announced that the 2013 game will be played Saturday, Dec. 21, at 12:30 p.m. PT (3:30 p.m. ET) at Sam Boyd Stadium. The 22nd Las Vegas Bowl will be televised nationally on ABC, featuring the top choice from the Mountain West against the fifth pick from the Pac-12 Conference.
This will mark only the second time that the Las Vegas Bowl (formerly MAACO Bowl Las Vegas) will appear on ABC and first time since 2001 when Utah defeated USC 10-6. That game, which was played on Christmas Day, remains the highest-rated Las Vegas Bowl in history with a household TV rating of 4.7. Last season, only one bowl game was broadcast by ABC (Capital One Bowl on New Year's Day).
This will mark the second consecutive Saturday kickoff in Las Vegas Bowl history and seventh overall. It will also be the bowl's seventh day game.
"We had a tremendously positive response to playing a weekend day game last year so we are very pleased that the calendar works out this year that we can offer that again," said Dan Hanneke, Las Vegas Bowl executive director. "We love our date and time and think this will benefit the city of Las Vegas as well as the fan bases of the two teams that will play in the 22nd Las Vegas Bowl."
Last year's edition - which attracted 33,217 fans to Sam Boyd Stadium - earned the third highest TV rating in the game's history as No. 15 Boise State defeated first-time visitor Washington 28-26. It marked the eighth consecutive year that the game attracted a crowd of more than 32,000.
The Las Vegas Bowl is owned and operated by ESPN Regional Television, which owns and operates a total of seven bowl games.
Tickets for this year's Las Vegas Bowl will go on sale to the public Monday, August 5, and will remain at the same levels ($25, $35, $55, $100) as last year until Sunday, Dec. 1, when prices will increase by $10 each. For more information call (702) 732-3912.

CAN REPUBLICAN Senator Scott Brown really pull off another quick getaway to Washington in his trusty pickup truck?
Agreed: Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren wasted millions on ads that turned her into every man's worst nightmare: a smarter-than-thou older woman sporting granny glasses and sensible hair.
Style over substance? It seems to me that Joan defines "substance" as fealty to hard left policies, and style as adherence to more manistream American values. Yes, it is a burden to be a know-it-all woman, who is as likable as many men's first ex wife. But that is not why she will lose. She will lose because people in Massachusetts are NOT all left wing yahoos, they are mainstream people who share Scott's values and views.
Thank you, Joan, for outlining all the reasons why I and millions of other voters will be sending Scott Brown back to Washington! Obamacare, the Dream Act, repealing the Bush tax cuts...they are all issues on which you and Elizabeth Warren are hopelessly out of touch with the people of Massachusetts. (Those of us, that is, who are neither firmly ensconced on a public payroll or milking the system for public assistance.) I can't wait to read your column on November 7, when you update Pauline Kael's famous remark, changing it to "I can't believe Scott Brown won. I don't know anyone in Cambridge, Brookline or here at the Globe who voted for him!"
Oh boy... more punditry treating elections as a sporting contest. If Brown wins in November, it's not because "The People" are against Obamacare, Dream Act, repealing Bush cuts for millionaires. As you know, but pretend not to, the electorate is split quite evenly on these issues. A margin +/- either way on a barn jacket can change the outcome. Finally, why insult people from Cambridge and Brookline? Put away the claws, and start talking about substance, please, here and in your column. We DO deserve better. There are policy matters that reasonable people can disagree on, and I'd welcome the chance to wrestle with the substance of these. But the schoolyard jabs and "IN YOUR FACE!!" posturing is a lot of the reason why voters are cynical. As opinion-makers, you and Joan have a huge role to play in improving the conversation. Please, do!
The fact she exploited the affirmative action sytem to get herself to the top of her profession is enough to lose my vote. If she's a proud Native-American, why did she stop mentioniong it once she secured tenure at Harvard?
Not relevant or factual. This is from the Republican Soliciter General under Reagan, who recruited her:
sawmill2 I opened the link and here am reprinting the first paragraph for those who don't take the time to open the link. "A Harvard professor says Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren got her job on her merits as a legal scholar, insisting it is "complete nonsense" that her Native American heritage played a role." In my opinion, the false information on this issue has gone so viral, in is Rove ochestrated.
Massachusetts voters DO care about the issues and that's why Scott Brown will trounce Elizabeth Warren in the election. Most voters aren't single issue voters but rather will conduct their due dilligence on all of the positions of each candidate. "If Brown beats Warren, it will be another triumph of style over substance and fuzziness over clarity" is far from the reasons while she will get "hammered" on November 6th. Warren is a liar, a phoney and the most unappealing candidate ever to run as a Dermocrat in a state-wide election in Massachusetts. Changing her jacket won't matter one bit, she's is woeful. Joan's 'you go girlfriend' column won't sway a single vote.
This is one issue we all care about...our money. It's a short read. Get back to me after you finish it. Can yoou visualize Scott Brown doing ANY of this? Neither can I. Don't forget....he's Wall Street's Favorite Senator!
Professor Warrei is a first class FRAUD. She is an insult to normal Democrats. She makes Martha Coakley look warm and fuzzy ! Scott Brown will trounce her in November.
Sadly for the choice given the Massachusetts voters, Warren is a weak candidate. But Brown carries the albatross of Republican distortion, myopia, and poor judgment. Is there a place to vote for None of the Above on the ballot?
There are always third-party candidates, djm71, although one has to be careful to figure which are on an ego trip, which are hyper-extreme, etc. In the Senate race, for example, there is Bill Cimbrelo. I don't get the impression he has any vision beyond saying 'I'm none of the above', and he doesn't seem to be been trying very hard during the last six months, but if you are looking to make protest votes, there you have it: there are always third parties.
How embarrasing for women that Elizabeth Warren can't speak for herself. She stands begind Deval Patrick who answers the tough questions for her. Her latest ads have other people speaking for her because people jsut don't trust her. Not exactly qualifications to represent us in the Senate.
People don't trust her? Are you serious or you just playing Cowboys and Indians with me! This is trust: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz7ruJw6byQ In my wildest dreams, I can imagine Scott Brown, Wall Street's Favorite Senator, doing this! Incidentally, read the business section article on the Consumers Bureau in today's Globe. That's Elizabeth Warren!
Your analysis is what every Warren supporter knew months ago. Time to get rid of the old publicists. They have the light of Elizabeth Warren under a basket. Your column lists the many differences between Warren and Brown. I'm sure, for brevity's sake, you left out many unilateral Brownies. The latest, of course, is that he conceived and sponsored the Insider Trading Bill. False. Goes way back to Baird and Slaughter, around 2006. What Brown did was lift language from Kristin Gillibrand D-NY. He did it so hastily to be "first" that his own party junked it. Awful. I also especially like Brown's influence-peddling. Why don't we hear more of this issue? I think lobbying the Senate President and the Governor for a slots license is certainly important in these "casino times." How about his votes previous to this? There is the Shameful Trio: votes against supplemental budgets for the disabled and disadvantages, against school meals for city kids and...against the blind! And some misguided folks want to sent him back as a senator from Massachusetts? Really contraindicated!
sawmill, the problem may not be how "bad" Scott Brown is, but what a poor job Warren has done in her campaign and her lack of an innate sense on how to present herself as a political ally to the voters of MA, and not consistently projecting her image "against Washington", as she has done in every ad I've seen. I have nothing against her, and I don't even "need" to like her -- but every Democratic voter in MA is not on the extreme end of the liberal meter the way she is, so why hasn't she been smart enough to dial it back? Or is that dishonest? If she hasn't developed any political savvy in all these months, then why should we believe she will develop it if she gets elected? Are we headed off a cliff if Obama gets re-elected (and I hope he does) and Warren doesn't get elected? If that's the case, then why aren't more MA Obama supporters in sync with Warren from that standpoint? Why don't we hear more of the issues you raise in your post? You tell me.
Hope the campaign sees this: As a strong support of Elizabeth Warren, how come I don't know off the top of my head the "BIGGEST, BADDEST FIVE VOTES" that Brown has taken? Why was it left for this columnist to have to dig them up? Everyone in Massachusetts should know them by heart. The "Biggest & Baddest"...Warren campaign, please wake up and get the word out about the phony "bi-partisanship" of the incumbent, Barn coat Brown. It seems obvious you need to do that. PS: How about Elizabeth stepping out of a truck in a barn coat. I see some possibilities of parody here. She can give us not only the barn coat but a little more. That would't be very hard.
Warren is so wrong for Massachusetts for sooooooo many reasons. Your article smacks of nothing more than a whinefest amid growing concern that Warren may not win!!!!! I'm surprised you didn't mention Fox News........aren't they somehow to blame for her current status in the polls? If she can't manage her campaign.....how is she going to function as our Senator?
In the substance department, or lack thereof, within days of the killing, Sen. Brown claimed he had been briefed on the killing of Osama Bin Laden and he also stated unequivocally that he had seen pictures of the dead man. Neither statement was true. Sen. Brown also stated that he engaged in conversations with kings, queens and prime ministers on a regular basis as a part of his job as senator. Why are these fabrications not mentioned? The basic virtue of untruth-telling (P.C. language) is sorely lacking in Sen. Brown. How can we believe anything he says?
The latest Brown journey into fantasy and self-congratulation is the Insider Trading Bill. Brown lifted the language from Kristin Gillibrand D-NY in an unsuccessful attempt to "be first." His bill was so sloppy and hastily structured, the GOP threw it out. Even the idea was not his although he would deceive you into thinking it was! It belongs to Baird and Slaughter, in 2006! Never saw the light of day! "If by now you haven't realized that Scott Brown is lighter than air, you're not paying attention." http://bostonglobe.com/metro/2012/09/12/brown-says-that-obama-signed-his-bill-but-bill-was-not-his/aMhi9hZThKxCzEo39PYCHI/story.html
This comment has been removed.
Joan Vennochi ought to go for a color test if she Senator Brown's barn jacket and Elizabeth Warren's red jacket are similar.
Personal characteristics or distinguishing features are used to identify character and to date Elizabeth Warren's integrity and abilities have imploded before our eyes. She readily stepped back when asked questions about her falsified native Indian background and more or less hid behind Gov. Deval Patrick. She is all bluster and blather, which is a turn off in negotiation and unfit to perform as a successful team player. She doesn't have the characteristics to be successful in Washington: although her handlers claim they can press her into a mold in time to fool the voters.
However, Senator Brown has been devoted to his constituents. He has worked hard in Washington and we have observed his personal characteristics which demonstrate his integrity and personality. Sen. Brown collaborates with his political collegaues and his demeanor speaks more highly of him than that reflected by Professor Warren.
IMO, your last paragraph is the most unrealistic description of Scott Brown that I have read today and maybe this year! The references you make to his work ethic, devotion, integrity and demeanor have all been serioiusly discussed in many media and most opinions are that Brown comes up short....very short. I'll give you "Personality", but that's all. Anyone who has been reading, even if just reading the Globe threads, knows chapter and verse of Scott Brown's many, many shortcomings. I am not about to bore you with links, but if you wish them, all you need do is ask.
I've been waiting for months to hear Elizabeth Warren state what she is for and how her positions will help us (as opposed to general statements like "the system is rigged"). She needs an ad where she clearly states her positions and how she differs from Scott Brown. Lets hope she reads Joan Vennocci's essay and applies it to her campaign.
Joan - Style and substance do not have to be mutually exclusive. You may not agree with all of Senator Brown's positions, but that does not mean he lacks substance. I believe that Senator Brown will represent the people more effectively than Professor Warren. Your column suggests that a vast majority of Massachusetts voters agree with your positions. If Professor Warren gets elected, how effective will she be as she tries to navigate the political landscape of Capital Hill with her my way or the highway tone? Senator Brown can accomplish more by working with his Senate colleagues to find common ground and identify true solutions. It is easy to look at certain votes and make general assumptions on his true positions. He votes against certain bills because they did not properly solve the problems not because he was totally against it.
This is not a good day for Romney or Brown. Romney has been thoroughly discredited vis a vis his actions and thoughts on foreign policy in almost every news item around the world: http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/13/opinion/avlon-romney-libya-attack/index.html How about unintended consequences? Well, it's keeping Scott Brown's latest venture into the world of fantasy off the front page. Forget the Kings & Queens or his questionable military record; this is plagiarism. This is grandstanding at its worst. The Insider Trading Bill had language lifted 'in toto' from Kristin Gillibrand's D- NY bill. Brownie's bill was just put together so hastily to get the "me first" award that the GOP leadership scuttled his version of the bill! Another instance of Brown projecting himself into situations that he could never accomplish on his own, like a Medal of Honor, or Character or even something thoughtful! Yep, Brown is the big winner today. Guy leads a charmed life...covered in Teflon. It seems the electorate would rather play Cowboys and Indians. Sad.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Joan was wrong and paid for it with her professional reputation and I'm sure in many other ways. But now, my friend, Scott Brown goes on his merry way doing what he always does, plagiarism or not. Nothing sticks. People should be outraged that a sitting US Senator can get away with influence-peddling, lying, fabricating scenarios, hammering the middle class and going 100% full speed ahead as Wall Street's Favorite Senator. Where is the fairness of the people? I hope it shows up on Election Day with a win for Elizabeth Warren.
Does Warren have to pay for this ad in the editorial pages or do Vennochi and the Globe do it for free? Ask around. NOBODY wants a senator from Oklahoma, picked by a Chicago politician, at the expense of Democrats who are from this state exiting the race, as their senator from Massachusetts! Liz Warren makes Martha Coakley look good! Shame on you Joan.
If we found out this month that Scott Brown had been checking off the "African-American" box on job applications during a 10 year span at some point during his career, without providing any evidence other than family lore, Joan Venocchi would demand he resign his Senate seat immediately, no questions asked.
Talk about style over substance, Joan.
How many times to we have to give information that Elizabeth "checking off Native American box" on job application is a lie L.I.E. In my opinion, this lie was started and promoted by Karl Rove. He knows how hard it is for any one to disprove a negative. Did you every try to prove to someone that you did NOT do something when you were falsely accused. And suppose that someone and his friends kept repeating the lie everywhere.
JV: You nailed the description of Warren: "too shrill, too stiff, too rich, or simply too uppity" ...thanks so much!, like I couldn't tell.
Help me get this straight Joanie. You propose the sheep...er, voters, of Massachusetts elect a carpet bagging liar who supports a "pull-the-lever" left wing agenda over a moderate Massachusetts native who has demonstrated a willingness to listen to both sides before he casts his vote? How much did Lizzie the Liar tuck into your envelope to write this rubbish Joanie?
jackie, you're out of your league. This post ranks right up there with the most uninformed, lazy and worthless typing ever. You're not smart enough to be on this thread, never mind trying to determine if Joan is correct or not. Let's start with the most obvious, elementary "mistake." Now follow me...I'll help you. First, you have to learn and put it in your memory bank, that Scott Brown is not a Massachusetts native. He was born in Kittery, Maine. Warren a carpet-bagger? Do you know what that means? She was recruited to come here for what she was worth as an expert professor (and that's plenty!) Second point: Elizabeth Warren conceived the Consumers Protection Bureau and staffed it (see Business in today's Globe) but was not appointed its director by a Democratic President because she hammered (there's that word again!) a Democratic appointee in public hearings (just clock on utube warren-geithner.) Is that a left wing agenda? I think not. Third, I'm sure Brown listens to both sides. Problem is, he can't make up his mind so he picks both sides. It's called "flip-flopping," and the latest one is the abortion issue. Last, Elizabeth doesn't lie. Brown lies: Kings & Queens, Insider Trading bill, military service, pictures of a dead Osama binLaden and on and on.
Hey sawbone. You're a typical liberal elitist blind Democrat. You're smart and I am dumb and you know what's best for all of us and what's best is Lizzie the liar. An "expert" professor? Says who? You? As for a carpet bagger she has been all over the place. Oklahoma, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and now she wants to go to Washington. Has she spent more than a few years in any destination before deciding to move on? Newsflash, she LIED about being a Cherokee when it was convenient for her climb up the academia ladder and then changed her ethnic background when being a Cherokee no longer suited her. Who does that stuff? I'll tell you who, an ambitious fraud. Unfortunately you are not smart enough to see right through her. Also, I haven't looked into her entire background and lick her shoes as you do but has she ever had a REAL job?
This comment has been removed.
All I can say is with the image I have of Mz Warren...I can't see her going toe to toe over issues with the likes of Harry Reid or Chuck Schumer. She will simply be someone's puppet.
I really believe the middle class voters in this state, like someone said - those NOT on public payroll or government entitlements, are tired of being yelled at by people like Ms. Warren.
We do what we're supposed to; work every day to support ourselves and our families, pay our taxes on time, do volunteer work, raise our children to be a plus to society - and here comes the likes of Warren pointing her finger at us telling us we didn't do it on our own. Talk about a slap on the face. And to boot, if you disagree with things like abortion, gay marriage, etc... you're a hater.
Either way we cannot win. At least Brown isn't yelling at me everytime I see him on tv. And, I do believe he has his constituents welfare first and foremost, more than I can say for Warren who'd vote party line every time.
The voters of MA must be awfully dumb, that's all I can say. We're too dumb to see how great Warren is, despite the image she has created for herself. "What you see is what you get" ads, according to Vennochi, have been a waste of millions of dollars because ... we, the voters, are supposed to see beyond what she projects in the ads; how can we do that if we're so superficial that Brown's "style over substance" is winning us over? If we're being "bamboozled", maybe Warren needs to dumb herself down to appeal to us, you know?
The lady's got chops, class and brains. Ck out what's there to be seen:
I was enjoying Scott Brown's homesy-folksy barncoat "postcards from Massachusetts" ads, especially the attractive Gloucester seascape, until someone pointed out that his intention to remove the regulations and benefit the fishing fleet would help to wipe out the fishing stock. No limits, no fish. Hmmmm. A review of Scott Brown's campaign contributions opens the door to an actual scene of a different kind....vats of lobbying groups with the financials, banking and other, chief among them. As one of the squeezed and hammered middle class, I'm attaching my wagon to Elizabeth Warren's star. Her action to set up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was the single most important step to liberate the ordinary person from confiscatory financial practices in the US. She is a necessary person, and I hope Massachusetts voters come to realize how important she is to the future of this country.
Sadly, this editorial is I am afraid correct. It should NOT be but it is. Such is the reality of things political. I remember when I was a freshman at BU in the late 60's Senator Teddy Kennedy was the speaker and he dared tell us that the boys if they want political input and to be taken seriously must cut their hair. We all booed but decades later when I thought of that episode I knew he was exactly correct. Yes, we all should have the right to be ourselves but when we want things political, things that require the elecotrate to vote for us we MUST conform to its appearace mandate and conform to it or risk losing that which only political power can gain.
Let me go on record by saying I LOVE Elizabeth Warren and would do a cartwheel if it could get her elected. I would do anything because she is THAT GOOD and INFINITELY more knowledgeable and smarter by yards than Scott with a truck Brown could ever think of being. Moreover, she is a progressive to her core and so am I. I WANT her to win which is why I say Ms. Venocchi is right and it is sad to me that her campaign did not see that. I love her hair, her wirerims, and every other thing about her that makes her look academic. But how many think as I do? It is a SAD SAD commentary about the Masaschusetts electorate that they would let something SO stupid as a guy having a truck or looking so good with family in tow to persuade them to vote for Brown. Clearly Warren is the BEST choice and a price above rubies. I hope, however, Elizabeth reads Ms. Venocchi's article because there is sill time to change the image. Sadly, our culture dictates that she should.
It is really funny that Joan is calling Scott "flash" - really? The Globe had an article stating he was the second most bi-partisan Senator in Congress, but yet, he is this "awful" Republican - so was the globe article a lie? He hasn't broken lines with his party to vote on what is right? I can tell you I believe we will get more balanced, bipartisan representation from Brown versus Warren.
He has stated, and his website states, he is pro-choice. He did vote AGAINST extending the tax cuts for everyone.
What is missing from this article is Warren's MILLIONS of dollars in various investments - yet, she is just a "regular" person. I have no problem with her success - what I do have a problem with is her lying and her statements that she is a regular person. Regular people do not have 7 - 8 figures in investments. She also refused to meet with the American Indian delegates of the Democratic Party - they are members of her own party, yet she doesn't want to meet with them. I find that interesting to say the least.
This article is important for two reasons. First, it succinctly points out the real choices we have on election day. Second— and more sadly— it shines a light on the dismal treatment of women candidates in the Bay State. Part of the problem lies with the local media, who never fail to trump up issues of "likeability"— a debate that is as unwinnable as it is irrelevant. But at the end of the day, the heart of this very deep and very real dysfunction lies with the voters— and this includes a surprising number of women— who can't accept strong female leaders. Why is this? Why is it easier for a woman to get elected to state-wide office in Texas then here in Massachusetts? If a candidate as capable, articulate, polished and, yes, tough as Elizabeth Warren can't get elected in this state, then the entire electorate needs a giant group therapy session.
