- A DEMOCRAT GOES TO IOWA (BUT HER NAME ISN'T HILLARY): Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar's trip to Iowa today may be just a hop and a skip over the border to a neighboring state, but its putting her squarely among the ranks of non-Clinton presidential contenders for 2016, ABC's ABBY PHILLIP reports. Klobuchar speaks tonight at the annual Northern Iowa Democratic Party's Wing Ding fundraiser, a bastion of Democratic politics in the swing state that for the last 10 years has featured former presidential contenders like John Edwards in 2006 and Obama in 2007. But former Secretary of State Clinton won't be far from the minds of the Iowans assembled. She'll receive the Beacon Award, for a "current or former elected Democrat who has embodied the principles of the Democratic Party and has accomplished significant Democratic ideals." So where does that leave Klobuchar? Exactly where several other Democrats with presidential potential are for the upcoming contest: in limbo and persistently in Clinton's shadow. http://abcn.ws/16rMJ8R
- QUOTE OF THE DAY: Sen. Klobuchar has answered the obvious question about her travel to Iowa by saying: "It simply means I was invited to a wingding, and I think anything in Iowa makes a wingding out of a wingding, and that is all it is."
- GOP ALREADY FIGHTING THE CLINTON WARS: Today in Boston, the Republican National Committee will vote on a resolution to go through with a threat to boycott NBC and CNN as debate partners if the networks refuse to pull their planned films about Hillary Clinton, ABC's SHUSHANNAH WALSHE notes. ABC News obtained the resolution the committee members will consider. In it they call the programs "little more than extended commercials promoting former Secretary Clinton" and the "programming decisions are an attempt to show political favoritism and put a thumb on the scales for the next presidential election." The non-binding resolution is expected to pass easily.

ABC's SHUSHANNAH WALSHE: The RNC has been meeting this week in Boston holding their summer confab of operatives, party chairman, and activists. The highlight was New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's speech Thursday where he told the party to focus on winning–not so subtly saying the group should lead by his example–while jabbing two of his potential 2016 opponents, but part of the work that goes on here isn't just hearing Christie or Newt Gingrich speak it's to get the work of the party done. On Thursday members met to examine the primary process, but almost immediately decided to send it to a subcommittee. That subcommittee will meet to examine the primary process, including carve out states like Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, debates, the earliest dates states can go, and winner takes all vs. proportional distribution of delegates. The subcommittee begins Thursday in what will be a lengthy process and there is likely no answer on these critical primary questions anytime soon, but the subcommittee will have the power to take up some of these issues that Chairman Reince Priebus has said is a priority of his, including cutting down on how long the primaries go or how long the candidates can "slice and dice" each other and limiting the number of debates for the same reason.
ABC's DANA HUGHES: Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel unveiled a series of new policies to fight sexual assault in the military, a problem Pentagon Press Secretary George Little called "a stain on the honor of our men and women who serve our country, as well as a threat to the discipline and the cohesion of our force." The measures include actions such as having judge advocates general (JAG) officers, people with legal training rather than just commanders, investigating sex assault charges, as well as providing a legal military advocate in every branch specifically to help victims. Not included were provisions that would take the reporting or prosecution out of the chain of command, something some Senators have been calling for. The Pentagon's move prompted praise from Senator McCaskill who issued a statement congratulating the DoD for taking the problem seriously, while the fiercest critic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who wants these cases investigated and prosecuted outside the chain of command said the actions don't go far enough. Gillibrand continues to call for Congress to act on the matter. http://t.co/dPCoj61OI8
THE REAL WAR HORSE: THE LIFE AND LEGEND OF THE MARINE CORPS' FOUR-LEGGED STAFF SERGEANT. In many ways, Staff Sgt. Reckless was no different from the Marines she served beside during the Korean War. She braved enemy fire on many occasions, enjoyed scrambled eggs and coffee for breakfast, and her favorite pastime was drinking beer with comrades. Except Reckless was a horse. Reckless has long been considered a war hero for her service during the Korean War and was recently honored at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Virginia, where a life-sized statue of the horse was unveiled. Retired Marine Sgt. Harold Wadley, who served side-by-side with Reckless in the Korean War, spoke to "On the Radar's" MARTHA RADDATZ at the installation ceremony of the new Staff Sgt. Reckless statue and told of the horse's unusual valor in braving enemy fire to bring reinforcement ammunition to her platoon on the front lines. WATCH: http://yhoo.it/1cS0L6d
CHRIS CHRISTIE TELLS REPUBLICANS TO FOCUS ON WINNING… New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told Republican operatives Thursday to make winning elections the focus of the party, not endless intra-party debate, ABC's SHUSHANNAH WALSHE notes. "We are not a debating society. We are a political operation that needs to win," Christie told activists and GOP operatives at a Republican National Committee luncheon at their summer meeting. "My job is to win. I believe my job is to win. Our job is not to be college professors." Christie's speech was closed to reporters, but several GOP sources invited to the luncheon shared parts of the New Jersey governor's speech with ABC News. http://abcn.ws/15KAsGk
…AND JABS POTENTIAL 2016 OPPONENTS. Several people listening to Christie's speech believed he was making distinctions between himself and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. Paul and Christie have had an ongoing feud that began in July when Christie warned Paul's brand of "libertarianism" was dangerous for the country. He also called Paul's libertarian viewpoint both "esoteric" and intellectual, starting a war of words on each other's positions ranging from national security to pork barrel spending. Christie also appeared today to hit Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, another possible 2016 rival, who in a keynote address at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting in Charlotte, N.C., in January, said, "We've got to stop being the stupid party. It's time for a new Republican Party that talks like adults." "I'm not going to be one of these people who goes and calls our party stupid," said Christie, widely thought to be eyeing the White House. "We need to stop navel gazing. There's nothing wrong with our principles. We need to focus on winning again. There's too much at stake for this to be an academic exercise. We need to win and govern with authority and courage." http://abcn.ws/15KAsGk
MICHELLE OBAMA ON RACE, THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT, HER BANGS. Two weeks before the 50th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, first lady Michelle Obama says that having an African-American family in the White House "expands the scope of opportunity" for the next generation and has "absolutely" moved the needle when it comes to race in the United States, ABC's MARY BRUCE notes. Obama said she has "immense hope" going into the anniversary, as she reflected on her family's recent trip to South Africa and the leaders who have influenced her husband. "To come back to the United States, with an African-American president who has been influenced by both King and [Nelson] Mandela, that is a reason to be hopeful about all that Dr. King sacrificed," she said. Looking ahead, the first lady said she thinks the country is ready to break another barrier and have a woman in the White House. "I think the country is ready for it. It's just a question of who's the best person out there," she said. Does she see her husband's foe-turned-friend, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, getting that job? "She hasn't announced anything, so I'm certainly not going to get ahead of her," Obama said, laughing. The first lady made one thing crystal clear: She will not be running for that position or any other. http://abcn.ws/1bApEQA
RUSH LIMBAUGH: 'I'M TOO FAMOUS' TO MODERATE GOP DEBATE. So much for talk of conservative radio-host Rush Limbaugh's hosting a Republican presidential debate, ABC's ABBY PHILLIP notes. Limbaugh said yesterday there's "no question" that a Limbaugh-moderated debate would get high ratings, but his star power would overshadow the event. "I don't see how I can, I'm too famous," Limbaugh, 62, said on his show yesterday. The comments come after Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus suggested that instead of having "mainstream media" networks moderate party debates, Limbaugh and other conservative radio pundits could. Asked by Fox News Channel-host Andrea Tantaros earlier this month about the possibility of a debate hosted by Fox News' Sean Hannity and conservative radio-host Mark Levin, Priebus threw his support behind the idea. "I actually think that's a very good idea," Priebus agreed. "I mean, there's a lot of good people out there that can actually understand the base of the Republican Party, the primary voters." http://abcn.ws/19vRr7K
WHITE HOUSE FINALLY GETS SOLAR PANELS. Washington's most famous residence is getting an energy overhaul, ABC's MARY BRUCE reports. Solar panels are being installed on the White House this week while the Obamas are away on vacation, three years after the administration first vowed to do so. "The White House has begun installing American-made solar panels on the first family's residence as part of an energy retrofit that will improve the overall energy efficiency of the building," according to a White House official. In addition to the solar panels, energy-saving equipment such as updated building controls and variable-speed fans are also being installed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The retrofit is three years in the making. The White House first announced in October 2010 that it planned to install solar panels on the roof. "As we move towards a clean energy economy, the White House will lead by example," then-Secretary of Energy Steven Chu said at the time. Why the delay? "The White House isn't your typical home," a White House official explained. "It has very specific requirements that had to be addressed as a part of the energy retrofit. This includes taking the time to update the technical scope of the retrofit project to include energy efficiency improvements." http://abcn.ws/16puqB1
AMERICANS UNITED FOR CHANGE ON AUGUST RECESS: 'GOP STILL LOSING'. Americans United For Change President Brad Woodhouse offers his assessment of this summer's Obamacare wars in a new memo out this morning: "Two weeks into August recess, and Republicans are still off message, off balance – and losing. Still lacking a coherent anti-Obamacare strategy as repealers and defunders continue to squabble. And Newt Gingrich didn't help calm family feud much this week when he slammed Republicans for hating on Obamacare while having 'zero answer' when it comes to an alternative health plan," Woodhouse writes. "The GOP are still under siege by the voters and still being defined by the most extreme and intolerant voices in their party on comprehensive immigration reform. Still facing tough questions on why they want to strip away Americans' health security and consumer protections so insurance companies can go back putting profits before people's lives. Adding to their woes, this week Republicans across the country felt the heat from constituents over their inaction on/denial of climate change." FULL MEMO: http://bit.ly/1bBUZm2

You may think that coping with challenges in a busy workplace will impress your boss. Both of you, however, might be surprised to learn that juggling your assignments may be making you less, not more, efficient. That's the conclusion of a study by management experts who looked at the effects of employees having to wear multiple hats on the job.
Different tasks call for different states of mind, called mindsets. Dealing with a troubled child on the phone requires a different mindset than dealing with a customer in your office. You do a better job, the researchers found, when you do as much as you can using one mindset before switching gears to another.
The study measured the ability of workers to perform various mental exercises after spending time switching mindsets to complete different tasks. The effort of switching mindsets seemed to cause people mental exhaustion. People who didn't have to switch mindsets often performed better on follow-up tests of mental ability.
One drawback of the study was its use of indirect measurements for estimating mental functioning. For example, participants were asked to control their laughter while viewing a comic film. Frequent mindset switching before the entertainment made it harder for the people to suppress their laughter. The conclusions may be strengthened if the results are confirmed using direct measurements of mental abilities.
Switching mindsets, multitasking or trying to do two or more tasks simultaneously, may have other drawbacks. Besides decreasing your efficiency, it can cause poor short term memory and decision making, and may even contribute to weight gain.
If you really want to impress your boss, try doing as much work as you can using one mindset before switching to another. You might be less stressed, more mentally organized, and your improved job performance will be more impressive than your apparent ability to juggle.

Is Multitasking Making You Fat?

Multitasking Exhausts You Quicker
A mindset is a state of mind, which directs the mind to respond to a task in a particular way. A recent study evaluated the effect of changing mindsets in further functioning of mind and also decision-making. A total of five experiments were carried out to analyze the effects of various changes in mindsets. It was found that upon frequent switching of mindsets, the subsequent performance of participants decreased. "In short, when an employee must wear multiple hats, she should try to change hats as infrequently as possible."
In different situations and for solving different types of problems, people have to adopt different mindsets. Mindsets greatly influence judgment, bias, and perspective. Researchers felt that adopting a particular type of mindset is also work for the mind. They felt that a person changing mindset frequently, might exhaust the mind in the process, and consequently, decrease their mental performance. They tested this hypothesis by performing various experiments in which "test" participants were purposefully made to switch mindset frequently and "controls" were made to maintain a particular type of mindset. Later, all the participants were asked to perform different mental exercises, and performance of these exercises was compared.
- The first experiment required 2 mindsets for a particular problem. Participants were made to think either "why to solve" or "how to solve" the problem. In the test group, the questions were arranged such that, after "why to solve" came a question on "how to solve". For control participants, all questions were either "why to solve" or "how to solve". Later, all the participants were asked to drink a vinegar-based drink. The volume of drinks consumed by each participant was measured to estimate the ability of the mind to overcome distaste for a sour drink.
- In the second experiment, mindset switching was done by asking the participants to choose different equipment by adopting different ways of choosing. Later, they were shown a comedy clipping and asked to control their laughter.
- In the third experiment, test participants were made to use different languages to answer questions. Hand-grip was measured before and after inducing mindset switching.
- In the fourth experiment, participants were asked to play computer games, in which they had to either continue to play or avoid further play. After this, they were asked to solve an unsolvable puzzle and the time that they spent on solving the puzzle was calculated. In the fifth part, switching was done between individualistic and collective mindsets. Later, the short term memory and decision-making of participants was measured.
- In the first experiment, participants who switched their mindsets could drink very few ounces of the vinegar-based drink.
- In the second experiment, participants who switched their mindset failed to control their laughter. Their facial expressiveness score was 11.3 while it was around 6 in participants who adopted a single mindset.
- In the third experiment, "participants in the language-switching condition performed worse on the hand-grip task, than participants in English only condition."
- In the fourth experiment, participants who switched their mindsets spent less time in solving the puzzle. The fifth experiment also revealed that short term memory and decision making was poor in participants who switched their mindsets.
Shortcomings/Next steps
In the present experiment, the performance of the mind after mindset manipulations was measured by indirect methods, such as drinking vinegar-based drinks etc. These proxy measures may not be the actual representation of the capacity of the mind. Further studies are necessary in which the actual capacity of the mind is measured.
This study has proved that frequent mindset change greatly hampers subsequent mental functioning. These findings are very relevant for employees who must change their mindset very frequently during the course of their routine work. The performance by employees can be enhanced by asking them to do the work of a particular mindset continuously, and then do the work requiring a different mindset. This would exhaust the mind less and improve work efficiency. The opposite is also true, i.e. those people who are exhausted with excess work continue to adopt a particular mindset, even if the situation demands a switchover of mindset.

UPDATED: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 10:59am
TYLER - The slumping economy you've heard so much about is taking a hit on the City of Tyler.
City officials announced today - two high-profile projects, expected to bring in thousands of high-paying jobs - have been put on hold.
Tom Mullins, with Tyler Economic Development Council, says the projects were expected to bring in more than 1,100 high-paying jobs.
He says one company was in the internet banking business.
The other - a large engineering company.
Names of the companies were not released.
One of those company's is struggling to get financing because investors and credit markets are spooked by the global financial crisis.
The other business is dealing with production losses due to Hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
Despite the bad news, Mullins says he feels secure that the projects will someday call Tyler home.
He also notes that Tyler has worked to diversify its economy and it remains among the strongest in the country.

LASHKAR GAH: After months of intense fighting in southern Afghanistan where hundreds of Taliban fighters have battered Afghan troops in daily attacks, the special forces commander in Helmand province is seeking a deal with the insurgents. Helmand province is the source of about half of Afghanistan's opium and some areas have fallen under the control of drug dealers and the Taliban.
Hundreds of U.S. and British soldiers were killed and wounded there over years of fighting but now it is the Afghans who are in charge of security as most foreign troops prepare to withdraw from the country by the end of this year. "Based on my contacts with Taliban and tribal elders I have already started talks," Afghan special forces commander General Asadullah Shirzad, told reporters on Thursday, referring to his efforts in the province's Sangin district.
"Now security is much better in Sangin but to have a peaceful province we need more time to talk."Shirzad declined to give details of his negotiations but said he hoped to extend talks across the province once calm had been restored in Sangin. Taliban spokesman Qari Yousuf Ahmadi denied any negotiations with security forces in the province, saying "we do not have any plan to talk now".
The battle for Helmand contributes to a troubling security outlook for Afghanistan where the hardline Taliban, in power from 1996 to 2001, are seeking to oust foreign forces and set up an Islamist state. In June, as many as 800 Taliban fighters were involved in some assaults on government offices and police outposts in Sangin. Afghan forces say they have killed 400 Taliban across Helmand since then. The government does not provide figures for its casualties. The deputy commander for the army corps stationed in three southern provinces including Helmand, General Ghulam Farooq Parwani, told Reuters his forces would continue fighting the Taliban, but he did not deny talks had started.

To say John Brumback likes billiards would be an understatement.
He began playing the game when he was 11 years old. He began to get serious about it around the age of 15. He spent the last two years practicing 10 to 12 hours a day.
Saturday, all of his hard work and dedication paid off.
Brumback walked away with the All-Around Title from the Derby City Classic. The tournament took place at the Horseshoe Casino near New Albany, Ind. It began Jan. 23 and ended Saturday night.
In winning the event, Brumback picked up a sizable check and also free entry and free hotel accommodations for the rest of his life to the tournament.
The tournament consists of three events: bank, one pocket and nine ball.
Brumback won the bank and finished 10th in both one pocket and nine ball to win the all-around title by a half a point.
The win is significant because the Derby City Classic has the largest field of any tournament in the country with around 300 total competitors. The All-Around Title has only existed for the last 11 years. With his win, Brumback became only the seventh person in the world to hold the title and just the fourth American to claim the crown.
Brumback was not the only competitor from Owen County to take part in the tournament. Casey Pierson, Larry Howard, Brad Dunavent, Jeremy Goodrich and Danny Morgan also took part.
Morgan, who has played in the Classic for four years, reached the second round in bank.
Goodrich reached the third round in bank in his fourth appearance at the event.
Pierson, making his third appearance, reached the third round in Bank. Dunavent, playing in his second Classic, reached the seventh round of bank.
Morgan reached the second round of bank and also took part in one pocket while playing in his first Classic.
The six men got together Sunday night at Pierson's house to watch the Super Bowl and relive some of the big moments from last week.
Joining them at the house was Shannon "The Cannon" Daulton from Pulaski County. Daulton, who is a world-class pool player, has become friends with the men after facing them in competition throughout the years. Daulton and Brumback have developed a friendship despite being rivals as two of the best players from Kentucky.
Daulton won the All-Around Title at the Derby City Classic in 2001.
Pierson's home is not only a gathering place to watch big football games but is also the place where the guys get together to practice their craft.
The guys figure that they spend three or four nights a week playing pool in the basement. How long those nights last may be up for argument.
Brumback figures the six of them play about six or seven hours every time they get together. Pierson says that it has been known to be daylight again before they call it quits.
These weekly sessions are not only fun but beneficial as everyone gets the chance to learn a few things from the man who holds a coveted title in billiards.
Along with the money and other prizes, Brumback also hopes that the win will help him gain some endorsements. He said he has already been given an automatic entry into the U.S. Open in Chesapeake, Va. The tournament is a nine-ball tournament featuring some of the best players in the world.
As for how much football the guys watched on Sunday night, Brumback said, "I would rather play pool than watch football."

I am humble with a touch of good old American Pride. I love God cause' he's the man...
The world's too small not to see it all and life's a canvas so I plan on capturing as much of it as I can.
Women can be tough as nails, yet surrender the very best of themselves to make you a pillar of strength.
Life isn't perfect, make the best of it by loving like it's your last chance, living like there's no yesterday and give hope to those who don't believe that life can get better...

Sporting a 59 foot wingspan, the Qinetiq unmanned aerial vehicle is likely capable of setting a new world record for sustained unmanned flight. The previous record was set in 2001 by a jet-powered vehicle. The Qinetiq Zephyr, on the other hand, is powered by nothing but sunlight. The solar craft was able to stay airborne over the course of two nights using solar energy stored on-board during the day. The team in charge of the vehicle claims that it has stayed airborne for 54 hours, but this is n
Having reviewed many vehicles in my day, I can tell you unequivocally that not all satellite navigation systems are created equal. Just checking the sat nav box on the options sheet doesn't guarantee you'll be getting a system that's easy to use and will get you where you want to go. Those who know me will tell you that I've often sung the praises of Ford's sat nav systems, specifically the ones found in Lincoln models. My first experience with these factory-installed Pioneer units came from a r
Lincoln has officially changed the name of its entry-level luxury sedan from Zephyr to MKZ, and is reintroducing it for 2007 with a new engine, styling tweaks and the availability of all-wheel drive for the first time ever on a Lincoln car.
Will a Lincoln by any other name sell as sweetly?
When the MKZ replaces the Zephyr in Lincoln's lineup it will carry with it a higher price tag to offset the cost of additional features. Chief among the new hardware is Ford's new 3.5L V6 and six-speed tranny, both designed in-house. All-wheel drive and a nip-tuck up front also set the MKZ apart from the Zephyr.
Could the Lincoln Zephyr, soon to be known as the MKZ, be bringing the average age of Lincoln drivers down a notch or two? Automotive News reports that while the average age of a Lincoln owner is 60 (and the Town Car's drivers are 70 ), the Zephyr's average buyer during the first three weeks of March was 56.
