GOP renews focus on 'Obamacare'
WASHINGTON (AP) — "Obamacare" escaped unharmed from the government shutdown Republicans hoped would stop it, but just as quickly they have opened a new line of attack — one handed to them by the administration itself.
While Congress was arguing, President Barack Obama's plan to expand coverage for the uninsured suffered a self-inflicted wound. A computer system seemingly designed by gremlins gummed up the first open enrollment season. After nearly three weeks, it's still not fixed.
Republicans hope to ride that and other defects they see in the law into the 2014 congressional elections. Four Democratic senators are facing re-election for the first time since they voted for the Affordable Care Act, and their defeat is critical to GOP aspirations for a Senate majority.
Democrats say that's just more wishful thinking, if not obsession.
Although Obama's law remains divisive, only 29 percent of the public favors its complete repeal, according to a recent Gallup poll. The business-oriented wing of the Republican party wants to move on to other issues. Americans may be growing weary of the health care fight.
"This is the law of the land at this point," said Michael Weaver, a self-employed photographer from rural southern Illinois who's been uninsured for about a year. "We need to stop the arguing and move forward to make it work."
It took him about a week and half, but Weaver kept going back to the healthcare.gov website until he was able to open an account and apply for a tax credit that will reduce his premiums. He's not completely finished because he hasn't selected an insurance plan, but he's been able to browse options.
It beats providing page after page of personal health information to insurance companies, Weaver said.
Under the new law, insurers have to accept people with health problems. Weaver is in his mid-50s, with high blood pressure and high cholesterol, but otherwise in good health. He says those common conditions made it hard for him to get coverage before.
Although Weaver seems to have gotten past the major website obstacles, he's still finding shortcomings. There's no place to type in his medications and find out what plans cover them. "I wish there was more detail, so you could really figure it out," he said.
Such a nuanced critique appears to be lost on congressional Republicans.
"#TrainWreck: Skyrocketing Prices, Blank Screens, & Error Messages," screamed the headline on a press release Friday from House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. A House hearing on the "botched Obamacare rollout" is scheduled for this coming week. GOP lawmakers want Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to resign.
Administration officials, in their most detailed accounting yet of the early rollout, said Saturday that about 476,000 health insurance applications have been filed through federal and state exchanges. But the officials continue to refuse say how many people have enrolled in the insurance markets.
Without enrollment figures, it's unclear whether the program is on track to reach the 7 million people projecting by the Congressional Budget Office to gain coverage during the six-month sign-up period.
The president was expected to address the problems on Monday during a health care event at the White House. The administration has yet to fully explain what has gone wrong with the online signup system.
"To our Democratic friends: You own 'Obamacare' and it's going to be the political gift that keeps on giving," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
"Irresponsible obsession," scoffs Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan, ranking Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, which oversees much of the health law.
Democratic pollster Celinda Lake says she doesn't see how going after the health law rollout will help Republicans by the time of next year's election.
"Americans are technology optimists," said Lake. "You tell them the website has problems today, and they'll assume it will be better tomorrow. I mean, we're Americans. We can fix a website."
There may be a method to the GOP's single-mindedness.
Republicans are intent on making the health law an uncomfortable anchor around the neck of four Democratic senators seeking re-election in GOP-leaning states, weighing them down as they try to unseat them. Republicans need to gain six seats to seize the majority in the Senate, and any formula for control includes flipping the four seats.
Sens. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Begich of Alaska and Kay Hagan of North Carolina will be facing voters for the first time since they were among the 60 Democrats who voted for the health law in 2009.
More than a year before the election, Republican Rep. Tom Cotton is airing an ad that criticizes Pryor for his vote, telling Arkansans that Pryor "cast the deciding vote to make you live under Obamacare." The commercial's final image shows Pryor with Obama, who took a drubbing in Arkansas last year.
"The bottom line is these candidates will have to answer for why they voted for this bill," said Rob Engstrom, senior vice president and national political director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
If the website gets fixed, other problems may emerge. Republicans can still try linking 'Obamacare' to rising premiums, anemic job growth and broader economic worries.
Will the strategy work?
The chamber spent millions on ads in 2012 criticizing Senate incumbents such as Jon Tester of Montana and Bill Nelson of Florida for their health care votes, yet many of those candidates overcame the criticism and won re-election.
The economy, not health care, remains the top concern of voters. By putting opposition to the health care law ahead of all other priorities, economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin says tea-party conservatives may have overdone it.
"Obamacare was an effective campaign weapon," said Holtz-Eakin, and adviser to Republicans. "The question is, have they damaged it beyond its political viability?"
Budget crisis exposes deepening rift in GOP
BOSTON (AP) — Lawmakers and strategists from the Republican Party's establishment are lashing out at tea partiers and congressional conservatives whose unflinching demands triggered the 16-day partial government shutdown and sent the GOP's popularity plunging to record lows.
The open criticism is a stark reversal from just three years ago when the GOP embraced new energy from the insurgent group to fuel a return to power in the House.
For a party in an extended identity crisis, the intensifying clash between those in its mainstream and those on its far-right wing muddies its strategy ahead of the 2014 elections.
In the view of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, House Republicans overreached during the budget impasse by believing "we have one-half of one-third of the power in Washington, therefore we have three-fourths of the ability to get things done."
Republicans run the House, but Democrats control the Senate and the White House.
Bush, a potential 2016 presidential candidate who was hosting an education conference in Boston, argued that congressional Republicans represent "the mirror opposite" of the successes of GOP governors.
Other party elders, whose calls for compromise were often overshadowed by the tea party in recent weeks, blamed conservative groups such as Heritage Action, the Senate Conservatives Fund and the Club for Growth. They were influential during the debate, at times promising to help defeat Republicans lawmakers who voted for a compromise with Democrats.
"The right is a multiplicity of various groups, some of which aren't even Republicans, but who think they can control the Republican Party," said Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, condemning tactics he referred to as "radicalness."
Republican strategist Mike Murphy chided what he called "the stupid wing of the Republican Party."
"There's tension and there ought to be a questioning of whether we ought to listen to such bad advice," Murphy said when asked about the influence of conservative groups. "We took a huge brand hit. It's self-inflicted. ... I'm glad there are no elections tomorrow."
The government reopened Thursday after Congress voted the night before to end the shutdown and increase the nation's borrowing authority, narrowly averting what business leaders feared would be economic disaster with global implications.
Polls suggest that voters overwhelmingly disapproved of congressional Republicans' handling of the crises.
Gallup found earlier in the month that just 28 percent of Americans reported a favorable opinion of the GOP, its lowest rating since the firm began such polling about the two parties in 1992. Republicans may have fared worse than Democrats during the ordeal, but neither party escaped political damage.
"There are no winners here," President Barack Obama said Thursday.
The compromise package, brokered by a group of moderate Senate Republicans and Democrats, funds the government through Jan. 15. To head off a default, the agreement gives the government the authority to borrow what it needs through Feb. 7. Treasury officials will be able to use bookkeeping maneuvers to delay a potential default for several weeks beyond that date, as they have done in the past.
Lawmakers are now trying to find agreement on how to replace this year's automatic, across-the-board spending cuts with more orderly deficit reduction. But the showdown and subsequent criticism from establishment Republicans seemed to embolden defiant conservatives, who promised more hard-line tactics in the coming months. Some pledged to work harder than ever to defeat Republicans who stand in their way.
"Congress has failed," the Tea Party Express said in a fundraising message.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a tea party favorite, hinted at primary challenges for Republican incumbents "from sea to shining sea" just hours after Congress voted to end the shutdown.
"Friends, do not be discouraged by the shenanigans of D.C.'s permanent political class," she wrote on her Facebook page. "Be energized. We're going to shake things up in 2014."
The Club for Growth on Thursday endorsed a GOP challenger to Republican Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi, who has yet to decide whether he will seek re-election next year. Tea party groups are also supporting the conservative challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky while backing like-minded candidates in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., said she hopes her party would move toward "common-sense problem solvers" in the future.
"I don't want to go down this road again," she said in an interview with The Associated Press, noting that she disagreed with congressional conservatives' tactics during the budget fight. "What we take from this experience is that there are obviously common-sense problem solvers, and that's where the party needs to be."
Iowa Republican Gov. Terry Branstad is among those pushing for mainstream Republicans to play a more significant role in party politics.
"We don't have leadership in Washington, D.C.," Branstad said of his party, making an exception for Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, who is helping lead bipartisan budget talks and headlining a Branstad fundraiser next month. "There's a lot of governors around this country who could run this country a lot better than people in Washington."
Associated Press writer Thomas Beaumont in Des Moines, Iowa, and news survey specialist Dennis Junius in Washington contributed to this report.
Rep. Wagner among GOP leaders to meet with Obama
"Hopeful," that's how Congresswoman Ann Wagner describes Thursday's meeting between GOP leaders and President Barack Obama.
The two sides got together to discuss the government shutdown and the looming debt ceiling deadline. The St. Louis County Republican was one of 18 GOP lawmakers who attended the 90-minute meeting at the White House.
Wagner told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that toning down the rhetoric that has accompanied the dispute was one area where both sides agreed. "We can't be fear-mongering and talking in ways that make our markets react," she said.
Missouri GOP considering party loyalty statement
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Top Missouri Republicans are looking for ways to ensure greater party loyalty after a supermajority in the GOP-led House recently failed to enact an income tax cut.
Meeting Saturday in Kansas City, the Missouri Republican State Committee proposed a new requirement for candidates registering to run as Republicans. They would be asked to sign a statement saying: "I have read, understand and fundamentally support the platform of the Missouri Republican Party."
Supporters of the measure noted that tax cuts ought to be a central Republican philosophy.
Fifteen Republican House members defected from party leaders this week to help sustain Democratic Governor Jay Nixon's veto of an income tax cut. Some echoed his concerns about the effect on education funding.
The GOP committee took no action Saturday on the proposed policy.

After a surge of momentum that began last year on the decades-long plan to renovate the armory in Marietta, followed by recent weeks of debate about funding and the project's self-sustainability, city council decided Tuesday to postpone the project, while still keeping it alive.
We think not pushing forward to begin spring construction was a very wise decision.
There were too many questions still to be answered, numbers to be researched and plans to be made.
It's critical that council have a rock solid, well-researched business plan that has the facility in the black before moving forward and we're glad they realized they're not yet at that point.
There are still concerns about the profit projections and whether the planned rent charge is reasonable, the fundraising estimates are realistic and whether there is actually a gap to fill in construction costs.
It's hard for those supporters of the Armory renovation to face possibly losing a $461,000 grant by waiting, but that was the only decision that could be made right now to protect taxpayers.
Removing a looming deadline and pursuing this project when it's the right time and the numbers show that is the right thing to do.

IndieBound is the BA's marketing campaign for independent booksellers, encompassing Independent Booksellers Week. Its prime purpose is to promote the benefits of independent bookshops to consumers (and within the book trade), and to help booksellers continue a conversation with customers about the importance of healthy high streets, the positive consequences of shopping locally and independently and an active sense of community.
Supporting local, independent businesses means that pounds, jobs, diversity and choices stay local, creating strong, unique communities and happier citizens. IndieBound strives to promote this message, via booksellers, to the wider world.
IndieBound is was originally begun by the American Booksellers Association and in the US, it continues to bring together booksellers, readers, indie retailers, local business alliances, and anyone else with a passionate belief that healthy local economies help communities thrive. The ABA designed IndieBound in June 2008, and the BA's Independent Booksellers Forum (IBF), seeing what had happened in the US, and keen to create strong, positive messages about independence and the high street in the UK, adopted the programme on behalf of its independent members in November 2009, taking the first step in making IndieBound global.
BA members who join the IndieBound campaign have access to POS, to campaign materials, to seasonal POS and to marketing materials, including the IndieBound Collection, which showcases 20 top titles for indies, and has a Spring and Summer Collection. The BA's Christmas Books Catalogue is also an IndieBound product.
We are also offering booksellers an annual POS pack, with 12 seasonal posters and bookmarks. For £70, booksellers will receive a year's worth of POS. Click here to see the
order form
and poster images and email
to express interest.
The UK site
is primarily a
site, though it does have some information for book-loving consumers too! On the site we have Booksellers Resources, links to useful organisations, bookseller DIY Point of Sale and a bookshop search so you can find your local IndieBound bookseller. Over time we will add more bookshops, more information on those bookshops and also book information, bringing books, readers and independent booksellers together on the site. The US campaign is already very well established, and you can see what they are up to by viewing
As a new development for the IndieBound campaign, a
new consumer-facing IndieBound website has been launched.
Extending the reach of IndieBound's current trade-focused campaign, the site is uniquely positioned as the antidote to algorithm-based, chart-led, celebrity-endorsed book recommendations; a forum where book lovers can share their passion for books and use the expertise of real booksellers to discover inspiring new reads. This is strongly supported by social media activity, predominantly on Facebook, where readers can ask for personalised recommendations from booksellers.
Booksellers are encouraged to continue submitting recommendations throughout the year, and help answer requests for advice on Facebook.
Visit the site
or the Facebook page to take part
Also you can interact with and follow the site on Twitter @IndieBoundbooks
Not only is this a great opportunity to promote your bookshop (as each shop will be credited for its recommendation), it's a fantastic chance to demonstrate your expert knowledge!
Booksellers can submit as many recommendations as they wish online at

Amtrak's Incredible Shrinking Service
These historical maps of Amtrak service show the slow death of America's passenger trains. The only cure: high-speed rail.
America's passenger rail is the sad, neglected stepchild of passenger transportation in America. In recent years, there has been growing support to reinvest in trains, especially high-speed ones, as a cheaper and less polluting mode of intercity transportation than driving or flying. The constant argument against more investment is simple: no one takes the train, so why pour more money into it? But perhaps no one takes the train because there are no trains to take? Look at this little animation (from Greater Greater Washington [2], via Grist [3]), that shows the creeping death that budget cuts have brought to Amtrak service:
As you can see, service is robust in the '60s, covering nearly the entire country--that's before Amtrak even started. In 1971, with many of those lines going bankrupt, Amtrak took over with a much more limited portfolio of routes. Even those limited routes have been cut ever since, except for a little recent uptick. It's like watching a sick person slowly wasting away.
The economics of riding the train are different now than they were when the advent of the passenger car--and then short-haul flights between cities--started eating away at rail travel's market share. It's now grossly inconvenient and annoying to board an airplane; you can walk on a train with no hassle (though the discovery of Al Qaeda plans to target American passenger trains [4] might change that). And driving no longer has quite the same open-road sense of freedom; there are no traffic jams on rail lines. Though technically, that's not quite true. In many parts of the country, passenger trains lose the right of way to freight trains, which can cause them to wait interminably. But that's just another example of how we've diminished rail travel through a death of a thousand cuts, and if we devoted money and resources to it, it could be a viable form of travel.
If rail travel was cheap, and convenient and fast, there is no telling what the market might be [5]. In the Northeast corridor, where the trains run fast and frequently and between closely situated cities, ridership and profits are up. Now imagine if the trains went 300 miles per hour. Then you might see crowded trains everywhere.

Vote NO
Saint Louis, MO |
no why
Judged: 1 1 1 You copy and paste a list of already debunked lies, from a conservative extremist blog sight, and try to pass it off as your own work or "research"? Poor little gullible sheeple! I guess the far right still hasn't come up with any factual reasons to vote obama out, so they just keep passing around the lists of crap they make up.. |
very true
Saint Louis, MO |
OK folks aint nothin free.
How can such a reputable company (FHTM) which is supposedly built on religious principles of honesty and ethics tolerate having their leaders with such horrid backgrounds?
"Todd Rowland's mistress is married to a convicted child molester and sexual predator. Thats right - the infamous Woodson Gardner's husband Clay is a felon". |
The healthcare system needs reform. No I am not "irresponsible" because I have no healthcare, I am one of those people who fall between the cracks. Too poor to afford my own and too (LOL)rich for welfare.The jobs that have health care packages are not close to home so it cost more to get to work than I would make. In today's economy Gasoline is on the top of my budget,then housing,electricity ,etc. Anyone have any other bright Ideas?????
I understand you are in a difficult position, however, I don't think Obamacare is the answer. What people don't realize is that this thing is not just about healthcare. There is much more involved that would have devastating affects on all of the middle income people. Whatever middle income is anymore! What used to cost $100 in groceries, now costs $175-200 in the last 4 years! I don't see anything getting better unless we have a presidential change and hopefully that will help.........but not an instant fix I am sure. If the government controls healthcare, they control our lives. It would just be the beginning of telling us what we can and cannot do. Rather scary! CHEERS! |
Inflation under Obama has been less than Bush, or Clinton. Where do you people get these funky numbers? Let me guess, personal experience? You shop all over the nation throughout the year and compare prices of every retail item month over month and year over year. Wouldn't it be great if there was already a group of people out there that did that? Even Romney just sticks to gasoline, because to say that inflation in general is higher than previous years would just be an outright lie! And Romney would never want to lie or mislead the public about Obama's record. If Romney gets elected, will fox call him a failed president if things don't improve within 6 weeks? Or is that just reserved spin for presidents that don't cater to Australian news mogels? |
Judged: 2 1 1 Obamacare doesn't give control of healthcare to the government, just oversight. Your policy will still be through a private insurer, that insurer just has rules to follow to benefit the patient. Like no lifetime maximum coverage, preexisting conditions will be covered, they can't drop your coverage or increase your rates like they have been able to in the past. There will be no incentive for insurers to deny treatments to patients just so they can save a buck and pay out bigger bonuses to the executives. They will be held to 80-85 percent of all premiums paid going to patient care, if they make over that amount, it goes back to the people paying premiums, via cut check or lowered premiums for the next year. |
Judged: 2 2 1 Inflation under Obama has been less than Bush, or Clinton. Where do you people get these funky numbers? Let me guess, personal experience? You shop all over the nation throughout the year and compare prices of every retail item month over month and year over year. Wouldn't it be great if there was already a group of people out there that did that? Even Romney just sticks to gasoline, because to say that inflation in general is higher than previous years would just be an outright lie! And Romney would never want to lie or mislead the public about Obama's record. If Romney gets elected, will fox call him a failed president if things don't improve within 6 weeks? Or is that just reserved spin for presidents that don't cater to Australian news mogels?[/QUOTE] Apparently, you have plenty of money and don't pay attention to prices or you don't shop much. Yes, I know from personal experience how much prices are going up. How could anybody clean up this mess in 6 wks? I believe Obama is the professional liar here. CHEERS! |
Judged: 2 1 1 I have plenty of money, but more than that, I have plenty of time to do the research into inflation numbers, it took me 5 minutes to find the numbers and a couple hours to do a little math. The CPI is what your espousing has increased more under Obama than previous administrations. It's just not a fact, even figuring in the price increase in gas, this administration still has less of an increase than most others. Here, I'll help you with the first step with a nice link, but I've tried in the past to help NeoCons through the math, but basic addition and subtraction seem to be beyond most of them. http://www.bls.gov/cpi/#tables And Fox was complaining about Obama not making strides in the economy 6 weeks after inauguration. Look it up, it's not my expectations, it's apparently the conservatives expectations. Romney will make strides quickly, just not in the right direction. |
Judged: 1 1 1 |
Judged: 1 1 1 They won't have a different plan, every government employee, yes including congress and the President, will have to participate. Get educated! As for privatizing social security? If everyone were great investors like you, then it would work perfectly. However, a majority of Americans would just spend the extra money every month, and then still depend on you, me, and government programs, to take care of them when they get to old to work. Privatizing won't save anyone any money in the long run, forcing them to pay upfront is the only way to keep them from forcing us to pay more later. But we all know conservatives don't like to look ahead to the repercussions of their actions, after all, it's in the name! |

Jennifer Aniston: Adopting a Baby**!!
by Free Britney at .Yearning to be a mom for years on end, but doomed by fate to become Hollywood's resident lonely girl, Jennifer Aniston is totally adopting a kid! By herself!
Who needs a man in her life? Jen wants this and no critic is going to stop her. The papers are signed. The nanny is lined up. Take that, Brad and Angelina!
Who better than BFF Courteney Cox to guide her along the way? According to an orphanage official, Jen is now the proud parent of a baby from Mexico.
So congrats, Jen. We knew this dream would one day come true!
** - NOTE: None of this is true at all. Star is full of crap as usual.
"Yes, I'm adopting!" said a random girl who once shook Jen's hand.

WOW Missy, you said a whole lot that didn't make sense!!
First, money had nothing to do with what the nationality of the child you would like to adopt. Second, you may have a point about wanting the same nationality as the child you adopt but it is not the only requirement from the agency. It use to be important for the child's sake but they are more lenient recently and it is not the end all be all. Third, ANY child that gets adopted has a better future than where they were at so who gives a flying fuck what nationality the child is!! Get over whatever issues you have or else your life is going to suck!!
@ missy: that just sounds fuken racist. what are you trying to say? that mexican/black babies/people aren't intelligent or wtf? and didn't you fucken read...it says the story is fake. and just so you know mexican/black aren't stupid so just the shut the fuck up. now i don't know if you're a racist person or you just didn't use the right words, but if you aren't racist then watch out with what you fucken write next time. for reals man...like wtf!

Arguably the most stunned of all was the St. Bonaventure men's basketball team, which got on the team bus outside the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown at 12th and Market Streets at 5:15 p.m. for a 7 o'clock game at Temple University. The team got to the Liacouras Center at 6:40 p.m., a trip that should take 15 minutes.Brian Milne of the San Luis Obispo Tribune asks if it's time to hit the panic button for the Big West's Cal Poly (3-11, 1-5 BWC). Senior Nick Enzweiler says, "We could go 0-26 and I'd still feel we could make some noise in the tournament." But remember, Nick, only the top eight of the ten teams get to go to Anaheim in March. My advice to Poly fans is to revel in the memories of your upset win over Santa Clara, enjoy your snow-free weather, and sing that cool, crazy fight song of yours a few times.
"We were gridlocked right in front of our hotel," said Steve Mest, sports information director for the team from the Buffalo area - where heavy snow is commonplace. Nobody on the bus could believe that traffic was at a standstill. "We were saying, 'What weather?' This is absolutely expected on a daily basis" at home, Mest said.

The Associated Press
Singer-songwriter Sting's new musical "The Last Ship" has found a nice berth on Broadway.
Producer Jeffrey Seller said Wednesday that the show — inspired by Sting's memories of growing up in a shipbuilding community in northeast England — will start performances Sept. 30 at the Neil Simon Theatre. Opening night will be Oct. 26.
"The words are there. The music is there. It's time to get into the room and make the play," said Seller, who has won Tony Awards for "Rent," ''Avenue Q" and "In the Heights." ''We look forward to getting to work."
The story centers on a man from a seafaring town who travels the world for 14 years only to return to find the shipyard's future in grave danger and his sweetheart engaged to someone else. Sting, who was raised in northeast England, has been working on it for four years.
"People ask if it's autobiographical. The only real answer is I think it's emotionally autobiographical but it's not autobiographical. There's no rock singer in 'The Last Ship.' But I certainly think that Sting is inspired by his youth and he's working through a lot of emotions that all of us are working with as we get older," said Seller.
The musical has a story by "Red" playwright John Logan and "Next to Normal" writer Brian Yorkey. It will be directed by Joe Mantello, who helmed "Wicked" and have choreography by Steven Hoggett, who did the same for "Once."
Before coming to Broadway, "The Last Ship" will make its world premiere next summer at Chicago's Bank of America Theatre.
It will star Michael Esper, who was on Broadway in "American Idiot" and "The Lyons" and Rachel Tucker, an Irish singer and actress who has been in "Wicked" in London. The cast also includes Jimmy Nail, Aaron Lazar, Sally AnnTriplett, Collin Kelly-Sordelet and Fred Applegate.
The sets and costumes will be by Tony nominee David Zinn, the lighting design will be by Tony winner Christopher Akerlind and the sound design will be by Tony winner Brian Ronan.
Sting, a 16-time Grammy Award winner and former lead singer of The Police, last year released a new CD also called "The Last Ship," which inspired the show. A concert he gave of the songs will be broadcast Feb. 21 on PBS.
"Many of those songs are in the show, some of those songs are not in the show, and he's already written new songs that are in the show that are not on that CD," said Seller. "It's Sting's singular expression of this play but it is not the play."
Sting's foray into musical theater comes amid a surge in singer-songwriters from the world of pop and rock aiming for stages. Sting joins a list that includes Cyndi Lauper, Sheryl Crow, John Mellencamp, Sarah McLachlan, Dave Stewart, Tori Amos, Edie Brickell, David Byrne, Fatboy Slim, Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello.
It's tricky territory even for the biggest music stars. Elton John was humbled by the failed "Lestat" but found success with "Billy Elliot" and "The Lion King." U2's Bono and The Edge finally got on track with "Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark," after numerous postponed openings. And Lauper won the Tony last year with "Kinky Boots." But then there's "The Capeman" by Paul Simon, regarded as one of Broadway's biggest flops.
"I have continually been impressed by and rewarded by Sting's depth of musical knowledge," Seller said. "Sting certainly came to this never having written a musical but he has been an extraordinary student of musical theater, he's an extraordinary collaborator and he has been an ideal artist in making this play."

Ombré hair is the most brainless, commitment-free hairstyle – roots aren't even part of the vocabulary and you get to enjoy the mental freedom of being one minor haircut away from being a single process girl again. Getting it there in the first place is the complicated part. I've had so many colorists just not get how to execute the highlights in a lighthanded, subtle way, even with what is essentially a power point presentation I've created on my iPad to try to avoid misunderstandings. This happened yet again last November and I made it through an aftermath that involved getting it re-dyed darker, chopping off the ends, and conditioning it with every mask I read even one good thing about. This seemed an acceptable strategy until a couple weeks ago when I realized that the lowlights had faded away completely and I was blonde enough to look completely blonde in some hats. Not wanting to screw around this time, I went straight to the experts at Frederic Fekkai last week to tone down the blonde and I think I finally have reason to never go anywhere else again. People are always Formspringing me hair questions so hopefully this helps you avoid the dreaded multiple trips to the salon – ask for Begoña and nothing bad will happen to you.
Ombré hairstyle really suits you!

I've had people go wrong with this as well. Did she use the teasing technique? And was there a toner at the end? Curious. It looks really great! You can't trust ombre' with just anyone…
Love your hairdo su much! Ombre looks perfect on you
Absolutely stunning. So perfect now we're coming into Spring.

nice hair! :)

I'd like to try ombré hair but I'm not sure I'm brave enough, great post though, makes me have second thoughts about commitment :) x
No surprise, you really have one of the best ombre hairs out there x
Your hair looks so good! I'd love my hair to be this colour x
I really love your ombre hair!!
xx -
i've been thinking about ombré for a while now. but it might just be that i'm still not ready for that kind of a change)) but i absolutely love yours and the effect it creates especially when you are wearing a beanie or a hat. and curls are taking ombré to a whole new level.
I need a haircut so I will be heading there in the next few weeks! And I know what you mean about the problem of roots. While ombre would not suit me when I started getting my hair coloured I made it clear to my hairdressers while I was going from brown to red the change was not that big a leap so to keep totally natural roots and strands throughout. The pro is that no one can actually ever tell my hair colour is not natural however long I have left it unless I physically compair my tips with my roots for them, but the con is that I only trust one person to get it right, so I have not had a colour since moving to Los Angeles, and I am going to have to wait until I go back to London to have it done again. Luckily the Californian sun has been keeping it looking normal-ish!
I totally feel you!! I tried for 2 WHOLE years to get my hairstylist do ombre, but alas! Thankfully 6 years ago, thanks to a bloggers event I found a hairstylist, who really knew how to make my hair ombre!!
It looks amazing but I'm totally terrified of dying my hair!

Wow, is that your hair in the photo? It looks fantastic! I have ombre hair at the moment too and I know what you mean about getting it looking 'right' – I've just been using boxed hair dye for it, aiming to get it blonde and it STILL looks gingery!
Ah well, hopefully I'll get there in the end haha. It needs a break from all the bleaching for now!
Great post.

hair looks so much healthier! btw…so do you color everywhere and then get lowlights on the top to give it the ombre look?? Just curious because I got single process done and I feel like the hair near the scalp is too light! looking to tone it down but don't want to color the whole head again!
I've wanted to try ombré hair for a long time but I'm so worried someone will screw it up.
Love the hair and bag! Lovely

Medical TreatmentIn most cases, treatment is not necessary, particularly if the woman has no symptoms, has small tumors, or has gone through menopause. Abnormal vaginal bleeding caused by fibroids may require surgical scraping of the uterine cavity in a procedure known as a dilation and curettage (D&C). If no malignancy (cancer) is found, this bleeding often can be controlled by hormonal medications. The following treatment options should be discussed with a health care practitioner. Observation The woman's doctor may follow the size and growth of the fibroids over time to make sure no indicators of cancer are present. If
the person does not have symptoms such as vaginal bleeding or pelvic pain, and if the fibroid is not growing rapidly, no treatment may be needed.
Some patient's may, however, require more frequent pelvic exams, such as every 6 months, to check on changes
with the fibroid(s). Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Uterine Fibroids

Uh oh! The iPad 2 has barely been out for a few days and there are already reports of some possible screen defects.
Engadget and Gizmodo are reporting that several iPad 2 owners have complained about the backlights of their devices "bleeding" through the edges of the screen. There are pages and pages of similar complaints on popular Apple-centric forums.
As you can see in the video below — recorded by Kevin of iAmPhones — the "bleeding" basically means that there are bright spots along the edges of the screen. They're especially noticeable in dim light conditions.
My own iPad 2 is pictured below. When I view a dark image on it with the device's brightness set at 50% — the default level — I am able to see some light bleeding at the bottom edge of the screen. It's not so bright that it's distracting and I'd wager that I probably wouldn't notice it very much at all if I weren't so very aware that it exists.
When I contacted an Apple Store regarding the issue, I was asked to schedule an appointment with a Genius so that he or she could take a look at the device. While the Apple Store employee I spoke with did not confirm that exchanges were being offered devices with light bleeding, she did make it a point to emphasize that the store was currently out of stock and that iPad 2 replacements could not be done on the spot at this time.
At no point did she suggest that this was a manufacturing issue or that — as Engadget suggested —the problem might disappear once "the bonding agent used for the LCD glass had time to evaporate."

The National Energy Board joint review panel examining the $6.5-billion Enbridge Northern Gateway oilsands pipeline will release its report and recommendation Thursday afternoon on whether the project should be built.
The 1,177-kilometre pipeline would transport oilsands crude from northern Alberta to the port of Kitimat, B.C. for transport by tanker to Pacific Rim markets.
The decision will have enormous economic, political and environmental ramifications across Canada, many observers believe.
"It's very important at a number of levels," said David McLaughlin, past chief of staff to Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and former president of the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy.
The pipeline and ruling have important implications for market access for Canada's energy, national climate policy, and sustainable development of the oilsands, he said.
The world is hungry for oil and Canada has lots of it, he said, but the Northern Gateway is a critical project to get the landlocked oilsands to markets in China and elsewhere.
The project has become even more important as mounting political and environmental questions south of the border have made the proposed Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to the U.S. Gulf Coast look more doubtful in recent months, he noted.
"If the U.S. isn't going to take more of our oilsands, we'll ship it elsewhere," McLaughlin said.
The panel's decision on the pipeline also raises a number of issues about Canada's climate policy and sustainable development of the oilsands.
The Northern Gateway is a "little less vitriolic" than Keystone XL for climate campaigners who want to keep carbon in the ground, he explained, but still a big target for green groups.
Environmentalists worry the pace and scale of oilsands development — and associated greenhouse gas emissions — will increase substantially if new pipelines like Northern Gateway are approved.
"For them, Gateway is a choke point we've got to strangle," he said.
What could potentially be an intriguing part of the Northern Gateway decision process is if the Harper government doesn't agree with some aspect of the panel's decision, such as possible conditions attached to the approval or a recommendation the pipeline not proceed.
The federal cabinet now makes the final decision on pipeline projects deemed to be in the "national interest" — like the Northern Gateway — having stripped that power from the NEB.
Ottawa also has to deal with the B.C. government's five economic and environmental conditions the province says must be met before it would allow the pipeline to proceed.
McLaughlin said "it would be extremely difficult" for the federal government to try to force the pipeline to be built if the B.C. government is not onside. But the Conservative government's decision on the project will very much be a "test case" for the power the cabinet has now given itself to decide on projects in the national interest, he said.
"This raises real political questions about how the Conservative government sees federalism," he said.

By William Dahn
(Editor's Note: This article details installation of a Delco 1 wire alternator in a 1966 F-100 with a 352 V8. Installation should be similar for any 1961 - 1979 F-series truck.)
MOTIVATION: The first and for me the most obvious question I had to answer before starting this project was "Why"? For me the answer is simple, this project is in keeping with my philosophy of making my driven daily truck technologically new without sacrificing practical originality. You noticed I said practical originality, I am not a purist and I believe this "original" business is best applied to historical and museum quality restorations. I on the other hand enjoy my old truck so much that I literally drive it every day. So for me, installing a technologically advanced one wire 85 amp charging system was an easy decision.
INSTRUCTIONS: What follows is a step by step installation process along with parts and tool requirements. Ford used two mount locations for alternators and generators on FE engines, one at cylinder head level, the other about 8 inches lower. I chose to use the lower location. Firstly the large 85 amp alternator didn't fit in the upper location (it is too long), and the upper location is to close to heat generating sources (against the head and above the exhaust manifold). The lower location is cooler. Delco alternators run a little hot anyway so I wanted to install it where it would be as cool as possible. Lastly, the lower location looks cleaner and provides a less cluttered appearance. The smaller 45 amp Delco alternator will fit easily on the upper location. The wiring connections are the same.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The pivoting mounting bolt for the Ford Alternator is 7/18 inches in diameter, the Delco is 1/2 inch. This necessitates drilling out the alternator mounting bolt hole to accept the larger 7/18 inch bolt. I performed this operation by putting the alternator in a vice and carefully running a 7/18 inch bit through the pivot bolt hole.
85 Amp Delco Alternator purchased without core at Napa for $91.00
42 inch fan belt purchased at Napa for $6.95
Delco GM alternator connector plug purchased at Napa for $6.89
Some red 10 gauge primary wire
Some green 18 gauge wire
GM Battery cable with extra 10 gage wire installed
Heat shrink
Aluminum alternator pivot bolt spacer with a 7/16 inch hole. The original steel spacer and some flat washers will also work
Miscellaneous solder less electrical connectors, wire ties and flexible wire cover
Lower mounting bracket from a 66 Galaxy with a 390
Late sixties/early seventies F100's with a 390 or 360 motor are also a good source for these brackets
A small hand grinder to work on the engine block cast flashing and to grind a little off the alternator adjusting arm for clearance at the vibration damper.
Wire cutter.
Wire crimper.
3/8 drive socket set
Place a piece of cardboard between the fan and radiator to protect the radiator from loose parts and wrenches. Pull the battery, positive battery cable, alternator, alternator to regulator wiring harness and the voltage regulator. Near the regulator is a connector with a 18 gage green wire with brown stripe paired with a yellow16 gage wire. The green/brown wire will connect to the alternator and operates the ALT light in the instrument cluster. I cut the Ford plug off and install a Weather Pack Connector on the green/brown wire. The yellow wire operates the horn and it is hot with the ignition on.
Loosen and remove accessory drive belts. Remove the fan and water pump pulley. Take off all the original alternator mount brackets and clean the area you will be working in. Now is a good time to grind off any cast flashing from the engine block near the timing chain cover and on the corner of the block below the exhaust manifold. Doing this will provide a little extra movement of the alternator when you install the belt and it makes things neater. Run a tap in threaded holes and use a little air or WD 40 to clean any debris out of these holes.
The mounting bracket, alternator, pivot bolt, spacer and the adjusting arm. The adjusting arm may require some grinding to provide clearance between it and the vibration damper. Use a bolt with metric thread to fasten the adjusting arm to the alternator and just for good measure put a nut on the end where it threads through the alternator. Trial fit everything, tighten the mounting bolts finger tight until you are sure everything fits nicely without binding. The alternator drive belt must ride straight over the alternator pulley, the water pump pulley and the vibration damper pulley. Use wire ties and a flexible wire cover for the wires and harness you built.
Install a red 10 gauge wire with a crimp on ring connector from the battery post terminal on the alternator to the positive post on the battery. I used a new red GM Positive battery cable with an extra attached 10 gage wire. A 10 gage wire from the battery post terminal on the alternator to the positive battery cable side of the starter relay will also work. It's just that the GM battery cable has this extra wire and makes for a neater installation. I shortened the GM battery cable and soldered on a new end connector. Get a metric nut to attach the ring connector to the battery post on the alternator. I think next time I'll just run a 10 gage wire from the alternator battery post over to the starter relay.
The Delco GM alternator connector is keyed to fit and will only plug into the alternator one way (the right way). It has two 18 gage leads, a white one (blue on the wiring diagram), with solder less crimp connector installed and a red lead about three inches long with a ring connector. The red wire with ring connector connects to the battery post on the alternator, (same post as the 10 gage wire running to the positive battery post). The other wire (mine is white), connects to the ALT light. From the white lead on the alternator plug in connector, run a 18 gage wire under the battery box, up and across the radiator core support and crimp connect it to the 18 gage green with brown stripe alternator charging lamp indicator wire from the bulkhead connector. This circuit operates the alternator charging lamp indicator. The alternator will work fine with out the charging lamp connected. I prefer to connect this circuit and use an ALT light. The green wire with brown stripe is paired with an 18 gage yellow wire that connects to the horn relay. The yellow wire on the alternator diagram is not used in this application.
TEST: Turn on the key, the ALT light should come on. Start the engine, the ALT light goes out. Measure alternator voltage output, across the battery posts. The reading should be 13.5 to 14.5 volts with the engine running at idle. The same reading should be 12 volts with the engine off. when the engine starts.
Trail Rider, for advice and the wiring schematic.
Sparky, for lots of really good electrical information.
Use a keyed plug in connector for terminal one and two.
Yellow lead is not used.
Red lead (BATT) connects to the positive battery post.
Blue connects to the ALT light (green with brown stripe) on 66 F100s.
