From a bird's eye view, bad old bankrupt General Motors' transition into the new, solvent "good GM" looks pretty much okay. From a marketing point of view, Chevrolet matches up well with Ford, Buick is akin to Mercury and Cadillac is the brand Lincoln would love to be. Or maybe Chevy matches up with Toyota, Buick with Lexus and Cadillac... er... point being, in some justifiable, mostly non-abstract way, those three brands make sense. But GMC? Every truck GMC sells (and all they sell is trucks) is already available as a Chevrolet. In fact, counting the Colorado and the Avalanche, Chevy sells more types of trucks than truck-only GMC. Someone then might raise the question, "Why is new GM keeping GMC around?" Ask a Buick dealer.
Automotive News is reporting that by October 2010 there will be no stand-alone Buick or GMC dealerships. They will all be consolidated into Buick-GMC "duals." This decision will affect around 3,000 dealerships that peddle/peddled Buick, GMC and/or Pontiac – they will be consolidated into 2,000 Buick-GMC dealers. Said Susan Docherty, general manager of Buick and GMC, "All our franchise agreements will be renewed then, and we'll only offer one contract: a dual Buick-GMC." When asked how many stand alone stores will be left selling just Buicks or GMCs, Docherty said, "none."
Small side note: if you want to buy a Pontiac, you'd better hurry up. The prices have been slashed, they're selling like hot cakes and Docherty is saying by tomorrow there will only be 16,000 to 17,000 left – and that's it.

New England Clam Chowder
I wasn't satisfied with other recipes I came across for clam chowder, so I devised this one. Everyone who's tried it raves about it. The dish is great on a cold day.
10-12 Servings
Prep: 15 min. Cook: 30 min.
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 medium onions, chopped
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 quarts milk
3 cans (6-1/2 ounces
) chopped clams, undrained
2 to 3 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Minced fresh parsley
Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a

Faces of the flood: Janet Griggs
The water was so high, "you could feed cats on my roof out of a boat," said flood survivor Janet Griggs, who has lived in the Tunica Cut-off community for the last three years.
Her friend, who was feeding the cats after the evacuation, told Griggs the water was chest high. A secretary at Delta Tire and Alignment, Griggs now lives with her father in Tunica with her husband, two cats, and two dogs.

Sunflower Market, which recently opened its 45,000-square-foot flagship store in Gilbert, is expanding its first Valley store, at Miller and Camelback roads in Scottsdale.
The market will spill into the former Hi-Health space next door, adding about 10 percent more shopping area, said Bob Millsap, Sunflower's area operations director.
The company will use the extra space to expand the wine selection and fresh produce offerings, and add "a fabulous spirits department comparable to the Gilbert and Tempe locations," Millsap said.
The Tempe Sunflower, at S outhern Avenue and McClintock Drive, is stocking up for an early May debut. It is modeled after the Gilbert store.
The next couple of Sunflowers will open in Tucson, Millsap said, but, "there are two or three more sites we're interested in, and there could be more stores on the horizon for the East Valley."
• Here's a handy new shop. Arizona's first Island Ink Jet, opened a kiosk on the upper level Dillard's wing at Fiesta Mall in Mesa. The store refills printer cartridges for about 60 percent of the price of a new cartridge.
• A couple of temporary tenants, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service and H & R Block, have set up in Mesa's Fiesta Mall through mid-April.
• Also at Fiesta Mall, construction continues on Gordon's Jewelers and Whitehall Jewellers, which are trading places. Both plan to reopen by the first of May. Gordon's is doing business in a temporary location mid-mall.
• A Sleep America store hopped across Scottsdale Road this week, from the Phoenix shopping center on the southwest corner of Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard to the bustling Promenade center on the southeast corner — the Scottsdale side of the road. Sleep America took over the space that formerly housed the Mikasa store.
• The Safeway at Pinnacle Peak and Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale is undergoing renovations, mostly cosmetic, "to improve the customer experience," spokeswoman Kerry Luginbill said. Luginbill could not say how long the construction will take.
• At Scottsdale Fashion Square, two tenants are remodeling: Aveda and John Atencio.
• Just opened at Scottsdale 101, at the southwest intersection of Scottsdale Road and Loop 101: Abuelo's, a Mexican eatery.
• New to Chandler Festival, on the northeast corner of Chandler Boulevard and Loop-101: Bella Mani Nails, a manicure salon, and Deseret Book Co., a Mormon bookstore.
• At Paradise Valley Village Square II, the southwest corner of Tatum Boulevard and Cactus Road, Shape Express, a fitness center, is ready to build bodies.
If you have a new shop to tell us about or you see activity at a retail location and are wondering what's happening, let us know.

How Private-Public Partnerships Can Help Achieve the MDGs
IUN Foundation CEO Kathy Calvin testified on the MDG hearing in the House of Representatives this morning about how partnerships between the public sector and private corporations and philanthropies can add value to the common effort to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Here is her testimony, as prepared.

7 Things the United States Can Do to Help Reach the MDGs
In the next few weeks the Obama administration will unveil its plan for the Millennium Development Goals. As I write, diplomats at the UN are putting together an "outcome document" for an MDG summit of heads of state in New York in September. How can the United States make the most of this global moment for the MDGs? At a hearing on Capital Hill this morning, John McArthur from the Millennium Promise sketched out seven items that the United States ought to bring to the UN as a part of a "U.S.

Obama Administration's Deportation Surge and the Legal Limbo of Migrants with Mental Disabilities
Peter Slevin takes a look at the Obama administration's policy for dealing with illigal immigrants in custody and finds a sharp increase in the number of migrants the United States is deporting. From the Washington Post:
John Kerry, Wikileaks Bellwether?
The reactions to the massive Wikileaks document dump will be fascinating to view during the next few days. So far, the administration's response is to condemn the leaks while also noting that most of the revealed documents stem from the Bush era. Specifically, the White House advised reporters:
"The period of time covered in these documents (January 2004-December 2009) is before the President announced his new strategy. Some of the disconcerting things reported are exactly why the President ordered a three month policy review and a change in strategy."
"Countdown to Zero"
The people who brought you An Inconvenient Truth have set their sites on nuclear terrorism. Countdown to Zero opens in theaters across the United States today. From David Corn's review in Mother Jones:
Middle East; Iraq; Ebola
Middle East: During the last 48 hours of the continued ceasefire, humanitarian workers have delivered food to hundreds of thousands of people, repaired water and sanitation infrastructure, re-stocked medical supplies, and some of the 520,000 displaced Palestinians have returned to their homes. However, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator remarked the scale of needs remains "unprecedented in the Gaza Strip."
Middle East; Ebola; South Sudan
Middle East: At today's informal session of the General Assembly on Gaza the SG remarked that the most recent ceasefire has held since yesterday at 8 a.m. local time. He noted that a durable ceasefire is necessary and UN shelters must continue to remain safe zones. The SG thanked UN staff in Gaza and will fly the UN flag at half-mast tomorrow in memory of those who died in the conflict.
Middle East; Ebola; Syria
Middle East: The SG commended Israeli and Palestinian parties for committing to a 72-hour ceasefire that took place at 8 a.m. local time today. He urges all parties to abide by the ceasefire and commence peace talks in Cairo to address underlying issues and agree on a durable ceasefire to sustainably stop the violence. The UN lends its full support toward these efforts.
Middle East; Iraq; Afghanistan
Middle East: The SG condemned yesterday's shelling outside of an UNRWA school in Rafah that killed at least 10 Palestinian civilians. The SG stated that the attack violated international humanitarian law and UN shelters must continue to be safe zones and not combat zones.
SG; Security Council; Middle East
SG: Last night the SG spoke at a joint press conference with the Foreign Minister of Costa Rica where he repeated his call for an unconditional and extendable humanitarian ceasefire. Speaking about yesterday's shelling of a UN shelter he said: "Nothing – nothing – justifies such horror" and demanded "that all parties immediately respect UN premises".
SG; Ukraine; Middle East
SG: The SG met with President Ortega yesterday in Nicaragua where he visited a wind farm and praised the country's commitment to renewable energy. The SG arrived in Costa Rica today where he is expected to lecture about "Costa Rica and the United Nations: Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century".

TEXAS CITY - Its not yet known how much oil was spilled following a collision in Galveston Bay. It happened around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, when an oil barge being towed collided with a ship near Texas City.
The Coast Guard said the spill had not been contained as of ten Saturday night. Texas City Homeland Security Director Bruce Clawson told a Galveston newspaper that the barge sunk. That barge was carrying nearly a million gallons of what's being described as an especially thick and sticky oil.
The area where the collision happened is near popular bird habitat in Texas City. Jim Suydam, a spokesman for the General Land Office says the oil that spilled is quote, "terrible to have to clean up." This is all happening as the peak of the migratory shorebird season is fast approaching. Texas City Emergency Management has posted a notice on their Facebook page saying an area dike and all parks on the water are closed until further notice.
The barge carrying the oil was being towed from Texas City to Bolivar when the crash happened. A company called Kirby Inland Marine owns the tow vessel and the barge.
This all comes just two days before the 25th anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill off the coast of Alaska. The Exxon Valdez oil tanker hit a reef on March 24, 1989. It spilled more than ten million gallons of oil into the water. It led to the creation of a Government office to prevent oil spills. The General Land Office's Oil Spill and Prevention Office plans emergency responses, including positioning response equipment along the Gulf Coast.

Economist: currency auctions was the main reason for the dollar's stability in Iraqi market
2012-04-14 17:07:28
Baghdad (IBA)... Economist Dr. Hilal altaian that the Central Bank of Iraq under the policy of open market currency auctions conducted by four days per week, and this was the main reason the US dollar stability in alnhalet markets.
"Altaian told the independent press agency (EPA) Central Bank of Iraq was selling a total of 150 million dollars at auction, but due to the events of neighbouring countries the Bank sales grew to 400 billion dollars per day, thus the Bank officials apparently felt there was a growing demand for dollar-buying.
And continued as a result of increased demand the Bank took action to stop selling the dollar for days, in addition to other conditions other stable is led to this increase in demand, hence the exchange rate rose from 120 to 123 and then to 130,000 dinars to dollars.
And between altaian those reasons led to the rise of the dollar, but officials at the Central Bank, they make up for it, leading to lower the price of the role to 128,000, but that does not mean the absence of control over the Bank, particularly that independent financial management law decisions and public debt number (56) of 2004, but nevertheless the right House of Central Bank control.
On the subject of linking Central Bank economist believes Cabinet that under the law the Bank independent administrative institutions, and his house is, and therefore control by Parliament just (finally)

Ted Koppel, Wife Mourn Death of Son Andrewby Hilton Hater at . Comments
There are few, if any, greater tragedies on earth than having to bury your own child.
For veteran journalist Ted Koppel and his wife, Grace Anne Dorney Koppel, this sad situation is now a reality, as son Andrew drank himself to death earlier this week. Our sympathies go out to all that were close to him.
The couple has released a brief statement in response to the incident. It reads:
"Our son, Andrew, was a brilliant, caring man, whose loss we will mourn for the rest of our lives."
Ted and Grace have been married for 47 years and have three other children. Andrew was their only son.
Mr.Koppel, our family's heart goes out to you and your family over the loss of Andrew. Our son Michael was lost to us in a hazing tragedy at Utah State University in November 2008. No one who has not lost a child under such tragic circumstances as alcolol poisoning can envision the pain and agony of losing your beloved child. Education to the perils of excessive drinking is an immediate answer - not to our own personal anquish, but to our hopes of influencing for the better those at risk in the future. Please know that we are with you in spirit, we grieve for you, and, like you, are obsessed with helping our son Michael's life and death make a difference. We will love Michael forever. How blessed we were to have him part of our life, as you undoubtedly were with Andrew. Peace.
George and Jane Starks
This just breaks my heart. My prayers are with them
I too lost a son unexpectedly at age 24. My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. May your love of Andrew and your other children sustain you thru this time of sadness. Another mother who had lost a child told me, "it never gets better, it just gets different" and I have found that true. Always keep Andrew's memory alive and keep talking about him!
To: The Koppel Family,
Not a day will go by that you will never forget your (son). He is now with the *Angel's*. Now what he would want is for you to go on with your live's and *MAKE SURE TO SEE HIS CHILD REGULARLY* May God be with you all, A mom and grandma.
My deepest sympathy to you. My heart is aching for you. I, too, have lost a son, age fifty seven,but still " my child".Not a day goes by, that I still don't relive that dreadful,heart wrenching call. The only thing that fills that void is through the love of God, family and dear friends. May God ease your sorrow.
Well said Bert!
Thanks...if you ask a question..you may get the answer and you did Butt!
Sorry Butt....I wasn't trying to sound condescending...I was not talking down to you..just stating some facts like Dana did about the same time I posted and hadn't read his. It is sad,but no excuse if he did already have a drinking problem. Just happy that I have two beautiful,healthy grandchildren that may not have been. Have a nice day!
RANDYJACKSONBUTT: You're an insensitive A-hole. YOU asked the question, and people gave heart-felt replies to you. Why did you ask if you were only going to reply like a F'in jerk???
Having lost a son unexpectedly as a result of a heart attack I empathize with the parents of this young man. As someone has said, there is nothing worse than losing a child since we all expect to predecease them. In a situation such as this the fame, material things, or fortune are no consolation and only those of us who have experienced such a loss can truly understand. My heartfelt sympathy!
Okay, thanks Dana and Camry for the advice. I will hurry out to my local library and educate myself right away before I drink myself to death. Camry - I'm sorry to hear that your son in law almost died of alcohol poisoning I am also sorry for wasting my time reading your overly condescending paragraph about your dopey family. Have a nice day!

Hey guys,
I got some problems installing PHP on the system. I bought the Kevin's book "PHP MySQL Database ..." and tried to follow the steps in the book. However, having done the very first php script i couldn't see the date on the page. Obviously, there's something wrong done during installation. But, I have tried to reinstall PHP for 3 times and it is still the same.
I am using IIS, PHP, MySQL. My system seems to recognize MySQL availability and PHP seems to be functioning as well.
Please, can you tell me what my problem might be?
thanks a lot in advance.

My own thoughts on my fishing and related exploits in 'Bootiful' East Anglia
* Blog and Archive
* Favourite Recipes
* Book Club
* Match Planner
* Flipper's Cat
Good week on the regions beaches, seems to be something worth a chuck at on m ost of the beaches. We've had bass and fl;ats in the north and east, codling, sole and rays in the south. Some good codling too for this early, they'll be a good size some of them if they hang around and feed through the autumn and winter. My new job will alolow me more time this winter and I'm looking forward to that.
I've been enjoing myself on the rivers and lakes this summer, I'm a member of a very pretty local estate lake that has some good fish in it, but iunlike those targetting the carp and tench, I'had so much fun with the rudd and bream. The rudd aren't huge, the biggest I've had is around 8oz, but there's loads of them and each one is scale and fin perfect. I spen some time on the river Bure at St Benets too, I got thoroughly hammered by Diggs and the lovely Tina so I put a call into Geno who put me right. I went back a few days later and had a good net of skimmers on the feeder thanks to the genius of Geno. I had a fantastic time, what I did notice though, that with the exception of another couple of middle aged men, there was nobody else fishing. I know the commercial fisheries are popular, you can turn up with a fivers worth of bait and catch some big fish, but in my opinion you can't beat catching wild fish out of running water, the kids are missing out if you ask me.
About me
I'm a fishing mad engineer living on the lovely Norfolk coast with my beautiful wife and son. If you have any questions re the site or just want a babble, please

I keep writing dataset. Is that correct, or should I write data set?
As @mmyers notes, dataset does not appear in any dictionaries. However, there are 172 incidences in the Corpus of Contemporary American English, and all but a handful are in the "academic" section, representing formal academic writing. Its lack of appearance in dictionaries is probably because it is a fairly new coinage, the two examples from the Corpus of Historical American English are from 2001. Nothing from before then. Interestingly, the British National Corpus has 51 incidences, dating from the 1980s to the mid 1990s.
Wiktionary says they are equivalent, but neither Merriam-Webster nor Dictionary.com has an entry.
Given that information, I guess I would classify dataset as technical jargon, but it's really not much of a jargon term. Any technical audience would have no problem with it; a non-technical audience should still easily understand its meaning.

NASHVILLE — School districts that own their own school buses may get some relief as a new bill approved by the Tennessee General Assembly will allow school buses to stay on the road longer.
The bill, which is projected to save local school systems an estimated $56 million in the 2014-2015 school year alone, was given final approval by the House on Monday following its passage last week by senators.
Sponsored by Rep. Ron Travis, R-Dayton, and Sen. Mike Bell, R-Riceville, the bill authorizes the use of conventional and Class D school buses until their 18th year of service. Buses that are older can go beyond that time limit provided they have less than 200,000 miles and are inspected twice annually.
Currently, school buses in Tennessee are allowed to operate up to 15 years with a 200,000-mile limit, whichever comes first, if they pass additional inspections.
The bill is a compromise between warring school districts and bus manufacturers with some schools' officals charging that the current limits were put in place to encourage more bus sales. Schools maintain that the high-mileage buses can operate safely given adequate inspections and there was a bill to do just that.
"The legislation will save millions of dollars for our local governments over the next several years, ensuring that more money can be spent in our children's classrooms," Travis said in a statement.
For a school system like Hamilton County, which contracts its bus services to Durham Transportation and other independent contractors, the bill won't spark any immediate change.
But for those systems that own their own buses it means they can potentially get more life out of the costly vehicles.
Paul Ramsey, supervisor of facilties at Cleveland City Schools, said the bill may give them some breathing room. A new bus can cost up to $90,000, he said. Currently, the state allows Cleveland to use buses for up to 17 years. The bill means they'll get an additional year. Ramsey said they were hoping for more leeway from the General Assembly. But this bill is a start.
"We were hoping for more than that but we'll take whatever we can get," he said. "We want our drivers and students to be safe. That's always the priority. But we feel like buses can operate longer than the 200,000 miles and the 18th year."
Some school districts were pushing for much higher mileage limits -- as much as 400,000. But 400,000 miles on a yellow school bus isn't comparable to 400,000 miles on a consumer minivan or sedan.
"A bus is built like a tank," said Ben Coulter, Hamilton County Schools' transportation supervisor. "It's built to deal with the road conditions and it's built to be able to handle a major impact. And you just don't see a lot of that."
Bell, the Senate sponsor of the new law, said last week that states outside Tennessee wait like "vultures" to buy perfectly good buses that are deemed unusable under state law.
House Transportation Commissioner Vince Dean, R-East Ridge, said his panel held hearings with school bus manufacturers, contract school bus drivers, local education agencies and Safety Department officials.
The need for a compromise was "glaring," Dean said.
"Every party has their own priorities and their own needs, but the primary priority of the House from the beginning has been the safety of our children and the efficient use of our taxpayers' money," Dean said in a news release. "Rep. Travis and I have worked diligently to come up with a compromise that satisfies all involved."

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds
By Tom Sellar
On a nearly bare stage backed by a few rows of bleachers, Lanford Wilson's Book of Daysbegins sweetly and casually, with deceptive slowness, as if it were a high school pageant. The cast assembles in loose formation, tossing phrases at us, describing a fictional town called Dublin, Missouri, its seasons, industries, crops, churches, shops, statistics. When scenes finally start happening on the forestage, they're often interrupted for backstory, given variously as monologue, flashback, or comment from the sidelines. The shifts are fluid, letting the audience in on the conversation, a silent newcomer to the town's living rooms and porches. Our Town, you think, has slid into today's Southern Midwest, its serenely complacent Americanism unchallenged.
You'd be a fool to think so. Book of Days is a revisionist Our Town, a Grant Wood painting partially erased and repainted in contemporary hi-liter colors, more glaring and darker than Thornton Wilder's. The big mysteries that preoccupy Our Townbirth, love, death, the individual's place in society and in the universestill loom over the action, but the petty concerns that were downplayed in Grovers Corners have grown into big screaming issues. Dublin's a hotbed of tension and bitterness over money, art, religion, law, education, and politicseverything that should be peripheral when the big issues are being contemplated. That, says Wilson, is what has become of the mythical American small town; that is what has become of us.
Dublin, unlike Grovers Corners, has a community theater, which when the action takes place is producing Saint Joan, and Wilson creates part of his dramatic tension by rubbing the two plays' contradictory sensibilities against each other. His characters struggle with Joan, critique it, are inspired by it. Chosen to play Joan, the bookkeeper of the local cheese plant finds the role bringing out the latent warrior in her. When the messy, sordid father-son conflict at the heart of Book of Days explodes, peppering the play with adultery, chicanery, and murder, she tries to rally the troops for justice. But Joan of Domrémy is as out of place in millennial Dublin as Emily Webb. Ruth, the bookkeeper, has personal motives like everyone else, and duly gets burned, though mercifully not in the literal sense. One of the chief virtues Wilson gives her is self-doubt: Quoting Shaw's Joan to a Christian hypocrite, she says, "Your counsel is of the Devil," but doesn't add, "and mine is of God."

The telling omission, like the blunt fact given in direct address, is a favorite Wilson tactic here: Book of Days is at once elliptical and confrontational. Occasionally slipping into the shallows in the way it settles matters, it wins its way back by weaving such a believable web of circumstances that an occasional strand left dangling doesn't matter so much. Knowing his people thoroughly, and much else, Wilson is wonderfully canny at deploying his detailed data. His comic bits all turn out to have tragic underpinnings: Early in the evening, the heroine puzzles over the word crapulous; her husband, the plant manager, gets almost erotically aroused at the thought of making a really fine gourmet cheese. We chuckle at both, but not after a dispute over cheesemaking has brought on a murder, and a crapulousit means "intemperate" or "debauched" fellow is its cause. What most deeply drives people stays dark; Wilson's details illuminate, scarily, the way it pulls them in particular political or religious directions. The group narration evokes the majesty of the Ozarks; the characters' views of those who disagree more often evoke the opinions of John Ashcroft, like Wilson a Missouri native.
The easy flow of Wilson's complex storytelling, with its smooth shifts from close-up to panoramic vista, owes much to the equally at-ease staging by his longtime artistic partner, Marshall W. Mason. Though some of the action, particularly in the expository first half, moves too languidly, Mason, like his author, has both a strong overview and a sharp eye for detail. He knows when to counterpoint text with behavior, and when to set them in unison. As always, he gets largely excellent performances, with a white-hot glowing one from Miriam Shor as the not-quite-saintly bookkeeper at the story's molten core, and a stunning piece of surprise workany explanation would spoil itby newcomer Kelly McAndrew. Applause, too, for John Lee Beatty, who wins the award for best evocation of a tornado by a bare stage. He gets good help from Dennis Parichy's lighting, and from Chuck London and Stuart Werner's sound design. How great it is to have Circle Rep's old team working together again. Why don't they start a theater?
David Drake evokes the Ozarks, too, but the mountains that really preoccupy him in Son of Drakula are the Carpathians. I may be the world's biggest suckerBarnumite, not vampiricbut I believed almost every word of Drake's new solo piece. That his grandfather was a Croatian-born ethnic Serb; that his real name is Drakula (Americanized but never legally changed by his mother after her divorce); that online research into his ancestry turned up a possible connection to Vlad "the Impaler," bringing him to the International Dracula Congress in Transylvania; even that he adores Ingrid Pitt because, as a child, he saw The Vampire Loversat a drive-inI buy it all. Partly, my belief comes from Drake's fetching modesty as a tale-spinner: He transforms into each of the people he encounters with a quiet unassertiveness that carries conviction. Partly, too, I buy his willingness to follow his winding tale rather than force it into an oversimplified straight line. On the road to discovering who he is, he runs into a host of issues, ideas, and experiences.

Barack Obama/Evan Bayh Bumper Stickers?
Has Matt Drudge actually scooped Barack Obama on his VP pick?
KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reports a company in Kansas City, which specializes in political literature, has been printing Obama-Bayh material…
Gill Studios, would not confirm information about the material. They would not deny it either. At least three sources close to the plant's operations reported the Obama-Bayh material was being produced…
Here's the website for Gill Studios, the company that's supposedly printing the bumper stickers. Doesn't exactly look like the kind of company that would be privy to that info.
I don't think they'd get to know who the new VP at the local Chemical Bank is.

Joe Biden is "Not the Guy," and Barack Obama Gets His Gals Confused
We're running out of time to spread rumors about Barack Obama's veep pick, so let's smear these latest clues across the internet as quickly as possible.
Obama's making an appearance with his running mate in Springfield, Illinois on Saturday. That much we know. So, um, Joe Biden, where are you going to be on Saturday?
Biden replied, "Here" and pointed down to his driveway [which is located in Delaware].
As he pulled out of the driveway in the driver's seat of his car he then said to the press gathered near his gate, "You guys have better things to do. I'm not the guy."
That certainly sounds like an upfront admission of Biden's non-veepiness, but a) he could be lying, or b) Obama's Springfield advance teams are a cover-up for a major event taking place in Joe Biden's driveway. Assuming c), he's telling the truth… oh my god! Is Obama going to pick Hillary after all? Or another high-ranking woman, like Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas?
No, because Barack Obama's disdain for women prevents him from keeping his New England colleges straight…
[Obama] used the word "he" to describe his choice rather than the phrase "he or she," which would appear to exclude potential female running mates such as Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.
A senior Obama strategist, Robert Gibbs, said that reporters shouldn't "read anything into" Obama use of the masculine pronoun.
An earlier comment from Obama, though, also made it seem unlikely that he'd pick Clinton. He told a woman in the town hall audience that he gets Wellesley College, a women's college outside Boston where Clinton was the student commencement speaker in 1969, confused with co-ed Wesleyan University in Connecticut.
Good goddess! Why does Obama have such scorn for poor Hillary Clinton that he can't remember where she gave her commencement speech?
For that matter, why can't he remember the commencement speech he gave at Wesleyan three months ago?
All these hints add up to one logical answer: Evan Bayh really will be Obama's running mate.
Or, you know, not.

Obama Veepstakes: Official Vegas Betting Odds
Two weeks ago, we gave you our Official Vegas Odds on potential running mates for John McCain, and darn if that didn't send shock waves through his campaign! It is now our pleasure to extend the same service to Barack Obama gamblers:
Name Why (S)he'll Get It Why (S)he Won't Odds Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana Pushed by concerned Indiana officials who are trying to bump Dan Quayle from the top of their "Famous Residents" list. In the wake of the John Edwards scandal, it's getting increasingly difficult to trust any handsome, well-coiffed Democrat. 3 to 1 Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware Nominating Biden will possibly placate the zero delegates he'll be sending to the convention. Debatable whether the way to win over voters is to bore them to death. π to 1. Gov. Tim Kaine of Virginia Kaine could deliver a state that hasn't swung Democratic since Strom Thurmond was a member of the party. Mark Warner will give the convention's keynote address, thus exhausting the party's quota for Harvard-trained, beauty-deprived Virginia governors who are actually from the Midwest. 7.5 to 3 Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas Nominating her is a way to get a woman on the ticket without resorting to You Know Who. Okay, we saw that voters may be ready to elect a female president, but vice president? Slow down, ladies! 409 to 1 Former Sen. Sam Nunn of Georgia This elder statesman's military background appeals to hawks who thought Wesley Clark was too much of a sissy to get the nod. Unclear if he is still alive. 1812 to 1 Vice President Dick Cheney Cheney has extensive experience serving as [classified], and he will [classified] in the event of [classified]. There's no chance he's leaving office, so this category is moot. 666 to 1

Mark Warner to Give DNC Keynote Speech
Looks like former Virginia Governor Mark Warner has been tapped to deliver the keynote address at this year's Democratic Convention in Denver.
Warner considered a presidential run early in 2007, then was widely discussed as a potential running mate for either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, but finally decided to pursue the open Senate seat in Virginia instead.
Oddly enough, Warner will be one of a very few Democratic keynote speakers in recent memory who is not African-American. Here are the previous honorees, their races, and what they're doing now…
2004: Illinois State Senator Barack Obama (African-American). Currently still involved in politics in some way, I'm not exactly sure.
2000: Tennessee Representative Harold Ford, Jr. (African-American). Ran for the U.S. Senate in 2006, lost narrowly, and is currently an MSNBC talking head.
1996: Indiana Governor Evan Bayh (not technically African-American, but he loved "Soul Plane.") Currently definitely not trying to be the Vice President, that's for sure, although if someone asked he wouldn't necessarily say no.
1992: Texas Representative Barbara Jordan (African-American). Currently deceased, but has an airport terminal named after her. And that' something.
So, if history is any indicator, Warner has a big future to look forward to. And, who knows, if the Dems fall short this November, maybe he can even be the first black president.

Winter Park Wednesday ReturnsPosted by on October 27, 2010 – 6:56 am
Last week our buddy and Voice of the Vikings Radio Network Paul Allen debuted what we're calling "Winter Park Wednesdays," a bit where he broadcasts his weekday 9-noon show on Am 1130 KFAN right from Sports Authority Studios at Winter Park on Wednesdays.
The experiment was a hit last week so it's happening against this week and should be a ton of fun.
Last week I joined PA at 9:20 to talk Vikings football and I'll be doing the same today, so tune in to KFAN around that time and join the conversation. Also, vikings.com's very own Ryan Cardinal will be on right after me for extended Vikings talk and then some deep Gopher hockey analysis as well.
