American superstar Julia Mancuso leads the women's super combined after a magnificent time of one minute and 42.68 seconds at Sochi 2014.
The veteran skier powered through the stages to roll back the years and destroy the field.
The Californian is the USA's most decorated athlete in the event, having won a gold in giant slalom in Torino in 2006 and silvers in downhill and super combined in Vancouver in 2010, per USA Today.
Mancuso, 29, has always somewhat lived in the shadow of teammate Lindsey Vonn, who is missing the Games due to a knee injury, per The Daily Mail.
The current standings are as follows:
Position | Athlete | Country | Time |
1 | Julia Mancuso | USA | 1:42.68 |
2 | Lara Gut | Switzerland | 1:43.15 |
3 | Tina Maze | Slovenia | 1:43.58 |
4 | Anna Fenninger | Austria | 1:43.67 |
5 | Maria Hoefl-Riesch | Germany | 1:43.72 |
6 | Lotte Smiseth Sejersted | Norway | 1:43.85 |
7 | Elisabeth Goergl | Austria | 1:43.89 |
8 | Nicole Hosp | Norway | 1:43.95 |
9 | Francesca Marsaglia | Italy | 1:43.96 |
10 | Dominique Gisin | Switzerland | 1:44.01 |
Defending Olympic Champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany could only muster a fifth-place finish with a time of 1:43.72.
Mancuso has a healthy lead moving forward over her nearest rival, Lara Gut of Switzerland, who clocked 1:43.15—almost half a second slower than the American.
Tina Maze of Slovenia was third with a time of 1:43.54.
NBC's Joe Battaglia tweeted about how important Mancuso's lead was to her, in the skier's quest for yet another Olympic medal:
The nearly half-second advantage is super important for @JuliaMancuso because her downhill is SIGNIFICANTLY better than her slalom
— Joe Battaglia (@JoeBattaglia75) February 10, 2014
Mancuso has suffered a poor season but feels that she hits her stride later than most of her competition.
She recently commented, per USA Today's David Leon Moore:
I would also say in my career that I have always had better results later in the season. I blame it on the cold growing up in California. It starts to get warmer in February. In general, it's a good opportunity and it excites me so I want to do well and, I don't know, everything just seems to come together.
Later on Monday, the skiers will take two runs down the slalom course to finish off the event. Those runs are scheduled to begin at 6 a.m. ET.
Despite being plus-1:04 behind Mancuso, Hoefl-Riesch is still very much in contention to wrestle the gold away and retain her title. However, Maze and Gut have positioned themselves perfectly, with Mancuso's weaker discipline to come.
It promises to be a sensational finish with a titanic battle for the medal places. And for Manusco there is added incentive, since she can become the first American skier to medal in three consecutive Games. With history on the line, expect the intensity to rise.

Phil Mickelson had just ended more than a decade of derision. The green jacket, which he would wear to bed that night, still decorated his body.
After a career of futility at the Grand Slam events, Lefty had just shot 31 on the back nine at the 2004 Masters to win his first major title, fending off Ernie Els as the course produced flocks of birdies and eagles.
It was perhaps the most memorable Masters ever, at least one guy opined aloud. Not so fast, Mickelson said. Grinning and giddy or not, Mickelson hadn't completely lost his sense of history, despite his prideful sense of self.
"I don't think any Masters will ever compare to the '86 Masters," he said.
For anybody old enough to have played with a wooden club, or for those who remotely grasp Jack Nicklaus' position in the hierarchy of the game, the 1986 Masters is the major championship by which all others will forever be measured.
They might as well bronze the yardstick. Comparisons are futile.
Tiger Woods was 10 years old and watched as the man to whom he would be inextricably linked turned back not just the hands of the clock, but entire calendar pages, to win at age 46. Moments after Woods won the 2001 Masters title to complete the greatest feat of the modern era -- holding all four majors at the same time -- he recalled the Nicklaus achievement wistfully.
"My first recollections of this tournament was when Jack won in 1986," Woods said. "I was 10 years old at the time. But I do remember the shots he hit."
Age aside, join the club, dude.
It's hard to know where to begin, with either the background or the images that remain seared into the minds of millions. Nicklaus had won 17 majors when he tooled up Magnolia Lane nearly a quarter-century ago at 46, but as far as the Masters was concerned, he had literally been written off. A story in the Atlanta paper said exactly that.
Famously, one of Nicklaus' guests in their rented house that week posted it on the refrigerator for all to see. Nicklaus' famous blue eyes saw it every morning. But wanting to make somebody eat their words, and having the competitive cutlery to accomplish it, are wholly different kitchen items.
"I kept thinking all week, 'Through, washed up, huh?'" Nicklaus said. "I sizzled for a while. But then I said to myself, 'I'm not going to quit now, playing the way I'm playing. I've played too well, too long, to let a shorter period of bad golf be my last."
Top 5 Masters Moments |
More Coverage |
Nicklaus hadn't won a major since 1980, when he claimed the U.S. Open and PGA titles. Even then, they ranked as mild surprises, since he had fallen off the face of the earth in 1979, his first winless season in 17 years. Frankly, when J.W. Nicklaus began the final round at Augusta in 1986 a distant four shots behind Greg Norman, whose career at Augusta had a decidedly different directory, few really noticed.
Two hours later, as rookie broadcaster Jim Nantz described it, "the earth shook." Nicklaus had 12 players in front of him when he started the back nine, though the rally really started with a 10-foot birdie on No. 9. He birdied three of the first four holes on the back, though his bogey at No. 12 seemed like a dagger at the time.
As he stood in the 15th fairway, he asked his caddie and eldest son, Jackie, "How far do you think an eagle would go right now?" Minutes later, he rolled in a 12-footer to fulfill the prophecy. By then, the crowd was going berserk. If louder roars have ever been heard at Augusta, it would be hard to prove.
Nantz was in the tower for CBS at the 16th hole when Nicklaus nearly holed his tee shot on the par-3. When he made the short birdie putt moments later, Nantz memorably said, "The bear has come out of hibernation."
Nicklaus birdied the 17th too, raising his putter overhead in an indelible memory as the ball rolled in from 12 feet. Vern Lundquist yelled into his CBS microphone, "Yes, sir!"
Nicklaus two-putted from about 40 feet on the 18th and walked to the scoring center as the fans tried to keep their heads from exploding. Even the typically staid Pinkerton security guards were patting him on the back and going bonkers.
He had shot 30 on the back nine, blowing past everybody in a delirious, two-hour blur. It wasn't truly over until Norman, playing behind Nicklaus on the pairing sheet, badly fanned his approach into the gallery at the 18th -- the beginnings of doggedly bad mojo that would haunt the Aussie at the Masters forever.
Defending champion Bernhard Langer helped Nicklaus slip into the green jacket for a record sixth time a few minutes later. To this day, memories of the nearly inconceivable accomplishment by the Golden Bear, who turned 70 this year, give many a lump in their throat. The fact that his son was on the bag made it even more heartwarming.
"The affection Jackie and I then showed each other seems to have become one of the sport's most indelible moments, and it will surely remain one of my most cherished memories through all of my remaining days," Nicklaus said later.
Nantz, only 26, was hustling back to the CBS television compound afterward when lead analyst Ken Venturi happened by in a cart and asked him to hop in. Venturi asked Nantz, a Masters rookie, to reveal his age.
"I am going to make a prediction," Venturi said. "You are going to be the first guy ever to broadcast 50 of these one day. But I will tell you one thing. You will never live to see a day greater than this around Augusta National."
Nantz wasn't sure quite what to say.
"I was left with a mix of emotions," Nantz said, laughing. "I mean, I was just happy that he knew my name and thought I had a modicum of talent, because he thinks I'm going to do 50 of these."
Then a second thought occurred to him.
It's all downhill from here.
"That meant he was also saying," Nantz said, "that the next 49 are never going to be as good as this one."

Proper analysis of image and multimedia data requires efficient extraction and segmentation techniques. Among the many computational intelligence approaches, the soft computing paradigm is best equipped with several tools and techniques that incorporate intelligent concepts and principles. This book is dedicated to object extraction, image segmentation, and edge detection using soft computing techniques with extensive real-life application to image and multimedia data.
The authors start with a comprehensive tutorial on the basics of brain structure and learning, and then the key soft computing techniques, including evolutionary computation, neural networks, fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, and rough sets. They then present seven chapters that detail the application of representative techniques to complex image processing tasks such as image recognition, lighting control, target tracking, object extraction, and edge detection. These chapters follow a structured approach with detailed explanations of the problems, solutions, results, and conclusions.
This is both a standalone textbook for graduates in computer science, electrical engineering, system science, and information technology, and a reference for researchers and engineers engaged with pattern recognition, image processing, and soft computing.

Not quite so far to go today only about 250 miles. After a good breakfast and having been woken early by the sunshine at 2am we decided to leave early. So we left the small (very small) town of Pajala alias pyjama alias paella in Swedish Lapland in glorious sunshine and headed north.

Editors' Review
+The search tool built into Windows has gotten a lot better over the years, but many users still prefer a third-party search utility, especially a tool that doesn't use indexing. There are many standalone search tools to choose from, most of them freeware. UltraSearch from JAM Software is a free search tool optimized for NTFS drives. Instead of indexing, it searches your NTFS drive's Master File Table (MTF). It searches while you type, returning results almost instantaneously.
UltraSearch has a compact, efficient layout in a medium-size, draggable window. It's a very simple tool: you see a search entry field, and a results list displaying file type, last accessed, size, and other data in draggable, rotating, customizable headings. In the bottom panel, UltraSearch displays your disk drives, their total size, and free space as a percentage and a bar graph.
The Use Exclude Filter feature is selected by default. We clicked it, and a small dialog appeared with the Recycle bin and other locations selected. We could add other default filters or create our own patterns. For example, we would exclude DLL files by typing "*.dll" and clicking Add Pattern. To exclude any filter, we simply had to uncheck its box. If that's not easy enough, just click Help (F1) to open the users' manual. Search results can be saved and exported as text, CSV, and Excel files.
We tried a wide range of searches in our NTFS drives, both solid-state drive and hard-drive types, using a variety of search patterns, such as searching our C drive for stray images by entering "*.jpg" and excluding thumbnails by creating a filter. UltraSearch proved one of the fastest search tools we've yet tried, whether we were searching one drive or three. Right-clicking any result accessed a full Windows context menu that let us open the item's containing folder, rename it, open the item, open it with a different program, or scan it with our antivirus software; cut, copy, delete, or move it; print, save, and copy the results list; and much more. UltraSearch's blistering speed makes it a great choice for SSD users who disable drive indexing.
Publisher's Description
+UltraSearch searches files on local NTFS drives and provides the results within just a few seconds. UltraSearch does not use a previously built index or background process, it achieves its speed by working directly on the Master File Table (MFT) of the NTFS partitions. You can enter a file name or a pattern like *.exe and often will see the results already while typing. Additional information like size and last change date will be shown for the listed files. Moreover, the Explorer context menu is available inside UltraSearch. The search results can also be printed or exported as text, CSV and Excel file.
What's new in this version:
* Fixed 'Duplicates are not allowed' * Fixed access violations * Fixed 'Cannot focus disabled or invisible window' * additional blank in search pattern removed * settings of the portable version are now saved correctly * A few minor bugfixes and improvements have been incorporated.

Click2HOUSTON – A surveillance video caught a UPS driver stealing a package from a northwest Harris County front porch shortly after it was delivered by Fed Ex. Al Alverson's home security camera system recorded the incident on Wednesday. Alverson said the video shows the Fed Ex deliveryman leave a new iPad mini on his doorstop — a Christmas present for Alverson's daughter. Later that same day, a UPS deliveryman showed up at Alverson's house with a package. He got no answer when he rang the doorbell so he left the package and walked away. But the security video showed the UPS driver did not leave. A couple of minutes later, he came back, picked up the iPad and walked off. Alverson posted the video on YouTube Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, a deputy and an investigator from UPS were at his house. By the afternoon, he had his daughter's iPad back. UPS tracked down the driver. They said he was a seasonal employee who has been fired. Officials said the driver gave back the package he swiped off Alverson's doorstep. In return, Alverson said he would not press charges.

US 4249450 A Abstract A guitar having four strings, two frets and an attachment pivotally mounted between the frets whereby the three principal chords of any key to which it has been tuned may be obtained clearly.
Claims(4) 1. A guitar comprising:
a sound box; an elongated fingerboard extending from said sound box and having two spaced frets for sounding different chords; means for stretching a plurality of strings along said fingerboard and over said sound box and for engagement with said two frets; and a chord playing attachment to enable persons with limited skills to play a narrow repertoire of chords, said attachment including: a fret and string engaging member, means for pivotally securing said fret and string engaging member to the sides of said fingerboard and between said frets to enable the sounding of a plurality of chords, said fret and string engaging member being shorter than the space between said two frets and of width approximately equal to that of said frets, said pivotal means including means to locate surfaces of said fret and string engaging member to engage said two frets and said strings thereagainst in respectively two extreme pivotal positions, and to be spaced from said frets and strings in a third intermediate pivotal position, and means for manipulating said fret and string engaging member so that handicapped and unskilled persons can sound three chords by pivoting said fret and string engaging member to said three positions. 2. A guitar as recited in claim 1 wherein said chord playing attachment includes a U-shaped member, said fret and string engaging member includes a yielding surface on the bridging portion of said U-shaped member, said pivot means includes the two spaced wing portions of said U-shaped member and pivot elements for pivotally securing said wing portions to opposite sides of said fingerboard.
3. A guitar as recited in claim 1 wherein said yielding surface includes leather bonded to the undersurface of said bridging portion of said U-shaped member, and a handle projecting from the top surface of said bridging portion.
4. A guitar as recited in claim 1 having only said two frets on said fingerboard, in combination with a felted stick for vibrating said strings and sounding said chords.
Description This invention relates to a simplified folk guitar having a pivotally mounted chord playing attachment enabling handicapped elderly persons or children to play chords. The conventional folk guitar of six strings and eighteen frets on the fingering board requires considerable dexterity, finger length and strength to play the various chord combinations to accompany vocal music. It is therefore a principal object of this invention to provide a new and improved guitar and chord playing attachment. Another object of this invention is to provide a chord playing attachment which will produce clear sounding chords. A further object of this invention is to provide a chord playing attachment for a guitar which may be easily manipulated by handicapped persons or the young. A still further object of this invention is to provide a guitar which will be more economic to manufacture than the conventional folk guitar. These and other objects and advantages of the invention will subsequently become apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein: FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of the guitar and chord playing attachment; FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of the guitar; FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the chord playing attachment; FIG. 4 is a front elevation view of the chord playing attachment; FIG. 5 is a side elevation view of the chord playing attachment; FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along lines 6--6 in FIG. 5; FIG. 7 is an enlarged sectional view taken along lines 7--7 of FIG. 1; FIG. 8 is a fragmentary part showing the attachment in a pivoting position. Guitar 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a modified folk guitar having only four strings 12 as indicated by the four tuning pegs 2. The lower E and A strings of the usual six string guitar have been omitted leaving the D, G, B and E strings to be used in the guitar of the invention. Another significant difference from the conventional guitar is the use of only two frets 3 on the finger board 4. These are located at what would normally be the fifth and seventh frets from nut 5. Pivotally mounted between the frets by screws 6 is the chord playing attachment 7. The generally U-shaped structure as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7 may be made of wood, pressed paper or plastic. Laminated across the inner surface of the bridging portion is a soft leather sheet 8. Secured to the top is a knob 9. The attachment is secured to the guitar by the screws 6 passing through holes 10 in the wing portions 11. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 8 the attachment may be grasped by the hand and pivoted to press the strings evenly against either of the two frets to provide clear, unfuzzy chord tones when strummed. The guitar of the invention is of particular advantage to children wishing to learn to play and elderly people who may have arthritis and are incapable of fingering the strings against the fingerboard. By just recognizing three notes on the treble clef staff i.e. C, the G above the staff and D below the staff, the three principal chords of any key may quickly be learned to be played. For example, if the strings are tuned to the commonly used key of G and the attachment is in the neutral or upright position as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the strings when strummed will produce the G chord as indicated by the musical notation G. Pivoting the attachment upwardly to contact the strings against the fret as shown in FIG. 2 will produce the C chord indicated by the notation C on the written music. The D-7 chord is produced by pivoting the attachment downwardly against the other fret, indicated by the notation D. Using the same notation the three principal chords of other keys may be similarly played. Thus if the strings are tuned to the key of C, the notation G would indicate the neutral position and open strings would produce the C chord. The notation C would indicate pivoting the attachment to the upper fret which would produce the F chord while the notation D indicating a downward pivoting would produce the G-7 chord. The same relationship would accrue in the other popular keys of D, F and B flat used in folk guitar music. The strings of the guitar may be strummed by fingers, pick or a felted stick 13 used in marimba playing. The guitar itself may be held in various ways according to the capabilities of the player. Thus it may be kept horizontally in its case, held vertically upright between the knees while sitting, held horizontally on the lap or in the conventional guitar position with or without a strap. The strings can terminate at bridge 14. The economy in the construction of the guitar is readily apparent. While the preferred construction and materials have been shown and described herein, other changes in the details may be made, but it is to be understood that such changes will be made within the spirit and scope of the present invention; for example, attachment 7 may be used on a conventional guitar: Patent Citations

Port Clarence is a small village now within the borough of Stockton-on-Tees and ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is situated on the north bank of the River Tees, and hosts the northern end of the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge.
Formerly known as Samphire Batts, it is situated on the River Tees. As the Industrial Revolution took shape and ships got bigger, access to Stockton became harder, and so colliery owners needed better access to the North Sea.
19th century[edit]
Investors created the Clarence Railway which connected Stockton to the newly developed port at Samphire Batts, and also Haverton Hill, a 0.5 miles (0.80 km) upstream. The village was hence renamed after the port. Meanwhile, its great rival the Stockton and Darlington Railway extended to Middlesbrough, on the opposite side of the river. The S&DR extension was completed by 1830, while the CR was completed by 1833. The opening of the railways provided the stimulus for the growth of both Middlesbrough and Port Clarence. Prior to the opening of the railway, ship access to Port Clarence was very slow and difficult, often taking as long to carry the coal to the port, as it had to sail from the port to London.
However, the CR shared rail track owned by the S&DR near to the County Durham coal mines and never made a profit due to the restrictions and fees imposed by the owners of the S&DR and eventually the PCR was taken over by the Stockton and Hartlepool Railway, a subsidiary of the Hartlepool Docks and Railway Company, to allow quicker onward shipment via new docks at Hartlepool.
20th century[edit]
The area has a strong history of immigration from Ireland, with many travellers settling in the village between 1900 to 1920, particularly from counties Tyrone, Monaghan and Wicklow. They arrived to work in the local steel and chemical industries, as well as the local Furness Shipyards.
It is served by the Stagecoach service 1 between Hartlepool and Middlesbrough. The A1046 links the village to Stockton and Middlesbrough (via the Newport Bridge) in the west and the A178 links to Hartlepool and Middlesbrough (via the Transporter Bridge) in the east.
Three hundred homes in Port Clarence were evacuated in December 2013 after the Tees burst its bank.[1]

Nissan Turns Kids' Drawings Into Concept Cars
Article by Hamza Ansari
In the league to celebrate Children's Day, Nissan Brazil had come out with a unique car designing contest.
The designers were not drawn for the famous names of industry, but they are the ones who had an aspiration and wanted to out their skills since the childhood.
Well, to say it precisely, participants of this contest were the kids of the Nissan Brazil employees who sent their dreams and imagination in the form of drawings.
Out of the whole lot, three drawings were judged as the best and a one more was selected as honorable mention, where company turned all of them into professional sketches with the help of artists at Nissan Design America Rio.
Participants were given ten days to pen down [...]
Kim Kardashian's Butt Is Smaller Than GT-R NISMO's Rear, Says Nissan
Article by Hamza Ansari
Turn around, and the recent buzz of Kim Kardashian revealing her oiled butt for the Paper Magazine made social media buffs go haywire. Waited for the moment like this, Nissan too strike in the air and hit the aim rightly. As posted from the carmaker's social account, a one of its post mentioned Kim Kardashian's butt is smaller than the GT-R Nismo's rear.
However, with the caption of "Ours Is Bigger" on the image may have envied the Kim! Well, we don't know whether the Kim is taking this move of Japanese carmaker seriously and would work out a curvaceous "bottom" for the next shoot.
In the bay – obviously of Nissan GT-R Nismo (because Kim wouldn't be able to) – hold [...]
Aston Martin hires Nissan chief as their new CEO.
Article by Hamza Ansari
Andy Palmer, who was also serving the Nissan luxury arm, Infiniti, is now aboard the Aston Martin as CEO.
Palmer was on the target of British automaker since its former boss Ulrich Bez stepped down from the position.
However, Philippe Klein, Renault's Product Planning Head, will take over the space at Nissan's Head and would directly report to Carlos Ghosn, Renault-Nissan Head.
The following claims are reported by a source, so there isn't confirmation about the exact dates when Mr. Andy would lead the very sophisticated Brit Aston.
Woman Raced Jeremy Clarkson In A Nissan GT-R: Watch Video
Article by Hamza Ansari
Jeremy Clarkson racing in the scorching heat of Sydney during an event may not have been digested by a number of readers like us. To scathe more details out of it, the posted video here helped us why the Top Gear editor raced with that Australian lady.
In a quite less-gentleman avatar Clarkson invited the Michelle Jenneke, a hurdler cum model, to the track for the race against Nissan GT-R.
Both set the race against each other over a to and fro of 50 metered distance (where 50 x 2 = 100). The difficulty meant here wasn't getting over the notch, but coming back to the finish line again by pulling the Nissan in the reverse gear which isn't quite easier.
The Clarkson knows the launch-timing [...]
Nissan Leaf Owners Gets Free Charge In Los Angeles
Article by Hamza Ansari
Los Angelenos now had a reason to enjoy, as Nissan is offering them free charge for Leaf under "No Charge to Charge" campaign.
Under this program the Nissan Leaf owners are entitled to get their car batteries topped from hundreds of charging stations across the city for two years. This also includes the fast charge that topples the exhausted battery pack up to 80% in half an hour.
"Los Angeles has long been one of the world's top markets for electric car sales," said Brendan Jones, director, Nissan Electric Vehicle Sales and Infrastructure. "Adding free access to public fast charging in the LA market gives us a competitive edge over other vehicles, regardless of [...]

Her piano is not a full standard jeyboard, she's short enough she has a helluva a time playing one anyway. "There's only one piece of music this keyboard was too short for." Then I mentioned Mussorgy composing Great Gates of Kiev on one, and she said "That was the one!"

Lou Holtz Nails It
YEP, VERY PROFOUND… AND TRUE… Lou Holtz nails it
The Democrats are right, there are two Americas. The America that works and the America that doesn't. The America that contributes and the America that doesn't. It's not the haves and the have nots, it's the dos and the don'ts. Some people do their duty as Americans, obey the law, support themselves, contribute to society and others don't. That's the divide in America .
It's not about income inequality, it's about civic irresponsibility. It's about a political party that preaches hatred, greed and victimization in order to win elective office. It's about a political party that loves power more than it loves its country.
That's not invective, that's truth, and it's about time someone said it.
The politics of envy was on proud display a couple weeks ago when President Obama pledged the rest of his term to fighting "income inequality." He noted that some people make more than other people, that some people have higher incomes than others, and he says that's not just. That is the rationale of thievery.
The other guy has it, you want it, Obama will take it for you. Vote Democrat. That is the philosophy that produced Detroit.
It is the electoral philosophy that is destroying America. It conceals
Read moreA Twelve Step Program for Recovering Democrats
Emil Henry, WSJ, January 5, 2015
After hitting bottom with the midterms, they need to sober up fast for the 114th Congress
Most substance abusers eventually hit bottom—usually an embarrassing and humiliating postbinge episode indicative of a life out of control. Many ignore the wake-up call, but others seek help, often finding it in the form of the 12-step program laid out in 1939 by Bill Wilson in "Alcoholics Anonymous." The book's dozen core principles have since been adapted to treat a variety of ruinous addictions.
So why not a 12-step program for Democrats of the 114th Congress? Surely the party's defeat in November qualifies as an epic bottoming event. Democrats had been on a six-year bender, a progressive bacchanalia of fiscal mismanagement, job-stifling regulation, harmful foreign policy, heightened racial tensions and executive-branch overreach. On Nov. 5 they awoke with a pounding headache, looked groggily in the mirror and saw the smallest congressional minority in nearly a century.
When Congress convenes this week, chastened Democrats will have the opportunity to start afresh. Bill Wilson's 12 steps seem ideal to free them of the ideological obsessions that have brought them so low:

Harvard Ideas on Healthcare Hit Home - Hard
(Poetic justice - good for thee, but not for me, Pat) NYTimes, January 5, 2015
WASHINGTON — For years,Harvard's experts on health economics and policy have advised presidents and Congress on how to provide health benefits to the nation at a reasonable cost. But those remedies will now be applied to the Harvard faculty, and the professors are in an uproar. Members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the heart of the 378-year-old university, voted overwhelmingly in November to oppose changes that would require them and thousands of other Harvard employees to pay more for health care. The university says the increases are in part a result of the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act, which many Harvard professors championed. The faculty vote came too late to stop

Fight on Guns is Being Taken to State Ballots
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER JAN. 2, 2015 NYT
WASHINGTON — The gun control movement, blocked in Congress and facing mounting losses in federal elections, is tweaking its name, refining its goals and using the same-sex marriage movement as a model to take the fight to voters on the state level.
After a victory in November on a Washington State ballot measure that will require broader background checks on gun buyers, groups that promote gun regulations have turned away from Washington and the political races that have been largely futile. Instead, they are turning their attention — and their growing wallets — to other states that allow ballot measures.
An initiative seeking stricter background checks for certain buyers has qualified for the 2016 ballot in Nevada, where such a law was passed last year by the Legislature and then vetoed by the governor. Advocates of gun safety — the term many now use instead of "gun control" — are seeking lines on ballots in Arizona, Maine and Oregon as well. (emphasis added)
Jeb Bush's Conservative Immigration Agenda
Clint Bolick, WSJ January 2, 2015
Pundits who claim he is for 'amnesty' are wrong. His goal is to bolster the economy and the nation's security.
As Jeb Bush explores a 2016 presidential bid, several conservative pundits are inciting the Republican base against him by reducing his immigration agenda to a one-word caricature: amnesty. "Jeb Bush wants it," Rush Limbaugh said on Dec. 17. Iowa talk-show host Steve Deacesaid four days later; "He's not just for amnesty; he's an apostle for it."
Such critics either don't understand the meaning of the word amnesty, or they are unfamiliar with Mr. Bush's positions. He has set forth a comprehensive proposal to reform the nation's immigration policies—and if conservatives get past false depictions and consider his ideas on the merits, they will find much to applaud.
Mr. Bush is passionately
Read moreHow Tom Coburn Made a Difference
The retiring senator blocked more bad ideas and lousy bills than most Americans will ever know.
Kimberly Strossel, WSJ January 1, 2015
Members of Congress come and go, and many leave Washington no better or worse than they found it. A few make a mark, and Congress is losing one of them: Tom Coburn.
The senator doesn't leave behind him a stack of legislation with his name, or grand bipartisan deals. He doesn't leave stunts, public tantrums, an adoring press corps, or, for that matter, many adoring GOP colleagues. Mr. Coburn didn't really "do" legacy. Which is why this rather humble Oklahoman will have one.
What Mr. Coburn does leave is a more informed electorate and a better Republican Party—two groups that benefited enormously from his focus on first principles: adhering to the Constitution, limiting federal government, and protecting individual liberties. In his three terms in the House and 10 years in the Senate, he became most known for forcing Congress (in particular his own caucus) to reconcile its actions against those principles. His long-term efforts to

What seems like staggering hypocrisy is actually remarkably consistent from liberals' perspective. by Jonas Goldberg, NRO, December 31, 2014
Many conservatives finished the year angry about the same thing they were angry about at the beginning of the year: liberal double standards.
As I write this, GOP House whip Steve Scalise is in hot water over reports that he spoke to a group of racist poltroons in Louisiana twelve years ago. Whether it was an honest mistake, as Scalise plausibly claims, or a sign of something more nefarious, as his detractors hope, remains to be seen.
But one common response on social media is instructive. Countless conservatives want to know:

McCain Wages 'All-Out War' to Rid Arizona GOP of Tea Party
Newsmax,By Melanie Batley, December 30, 2014
Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain's team is on a campaign to rid the Arizona Republican Party of tea party officials, replacing them with allies to the senator in advance of an expected bid for a sixth term in 2016.
According to Politico. which spoke to nearly a dozen sources, McCain's team has been working with strategists and fundraisers across the country to undermine the standing of conservatives in his state who could pose a challenge to his political future.
"There's been a huge organizational effort that I've never seen before," Gordon James, an Arizona public relations executive and McCain ally, told Politico. "A lot of the party folks who were hostile to John McCain have been marginalized, and that's a good thing."

Producing hit records is thirsty work. That's why, when A-Trak and Lex Luger hit the club, they always make sure to purchase at least 100 Bottles of top-shelf champagne. And if Travi$ Scott's along for the ride, you might want to up that to 150, just to be sure. On their second collaborative single as the Low Pros (following the non-featured Jack Tripper), they link up with the aforementioned G.O.O.D. Music affiliate to craft an earth-shaking ode to excessive drinking. Martial percussion and ominous brass chords back Scott as he delivers his hedonistic, heavily-Autotuned chorus. After the inevitable buildup and bass drop, the joint transitions into a dubstep-infused groove accented with syncopated synth blurts. How about it, readers: are Luger and A-Trak a match made in club heaven? Those who answer in the affirmative can look forward to more-dancefloor scorching material on EP1, dropping this spring via Fools Gold.
