You've already said Maybe. If you've changed your mind, let us know. If you say Yes, we'll anonymously find out if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
First, I have a true confession to make. I am not Jewish. I'm Italian, which to me is the next closest ethnicity to being Jewish. If this is not a problem, then read on. I'm a divorced mother of two adult children, who like so many adult children these days, still live at home with me. We also share our home with several pets -- a dog, bird, and two cats. Other than being an animal lover, I am also very much a people person -- very social and at home in a crowd. I'm an intelligent person with a good sense of humor. People have often told me that I'm one of the nicest people they have ever met. I'm a nurse by trade, working at a special education school. I also have a background in social work. My political leanings are to the left. A good description of me would be to say that I am an overgrown hippie. To me getting dressed up is wearing new jeans and a nice sweater. I'm a low maintenance person who is happy with the simple things in life -- good conversation, drinking cappucino, eating out (but nowhere too fancy), watching movies (especially indie films), being close to nature. I love to read, but find that I don't have enough time for that pastime. When I tell anyone my age (54) they are usually surprised, telling me that I look younger. To be quite honest with you, I should lose 20 pounds. However, I'm talking about going down two sizes. I still buy my clothes in a regular store (in case you think that I'm minimizing a major weight problem). If, after having read all of the above, you think we may share some commonalities, then get in touch with me. I am an easy, low-maintenance person to be around.

Notice regarding an application for an administrative law judge position is not an employment action
Chadwell v. Merit Sys. Prot. Bd., 09-3302, concerned a plaintiff's challenge to the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM's) notice that it would not review or process his 2008 application for an administrative law judge (ALJ) position because one year had not passed since the date he received a Notice of Results from his successful 2007 application for an ALJ position. The court afifrmed the Merit Systems Protections Board's dismissal of the challenge, as the Board lacked jurisdiction because the OPM's one-year rule is not an employment action.

Bad Religion at Irving Plaza in 2010 (more by Keith Marlowe)
Melodic punks Bad Religion will release their sixteenth album, True North, on January 22 via Epitaph, but have just revealed an advance stream of the entire thing which you can listen to below. It doesn't sound too different from the other records they've done since reuniting with Brett Gurewitz (everything from 2002's The Process of Belief on) which is probably a good thing if you're a Bad Religion fan, and it's pretty impressive for any band to be doing 30+ years into their career.
Bad Religion will support the album on a tour with Against Me! and Polar Bear Club this March and April. That tour hits NYC at Terminal 5 on March 26. Tickets for the NYC show go on sale Friday (1/18) at noon. UPDATE: They also play a NYC area show on March 23 at Wellmont Theatre and tickets for that show go on sale Friday (1/18) at noon.
Against Me! are also planning a new album this year, called Transgender Dysphoria Blues, which is still without an exact release date. You can watch a video of Laura Jane Grace performing the title track at a solo show below.

by Staff Writers New Delhi (AFP) June 14, 2011 India on Tuesday said an ongoing Chinese project to dam the Brahmaputra river in Tibet would not affect downstream supplies in the country's northeastern regions. Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna confirmed China was going ahead with the controversial construction of the dam on Yarlung Tsango river, as the Brahmaputra is called in Tibet. "We have ascertained from our own sources that this is a run of the river hydro-electric project which does not store water and will not adversely impact downstream areas in India," Krishna told reporters in New Delhi. "I believe there is no cause for immediate alarm," he added. "It is important that states of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam harness and utilise the waters of Brahmaputra. This is a really a very important issue." The Brahmaputra is a lifeline to some of India's remote, farm-dependent northeastern states. Some Indian experts have warned the cross-border dam could drain water from the river, which sustains the livelihood of millions of in Assam. China after launching its construction in November 2010 assured that it took "full consideration of the potential impact on the downstream area". Media reports have previously suggested the dam would feature six 85-megawatt power-generating units aimed at curbing power shortages in Tibet. The project -- one of a number to meet soaring demand for water and electricity -- is expected to cost nearly 7.9 billion yuan ($1.2 billion), the reports said. The dam has also triggered fears over the environmental impact along the river, which starts high up on the Tibetan plateau and flows east and south in a wide arc before flowing into India, Bangladesh and the Bay of Bengal.

NBC Cancels 'Love Bites'
The hotly anticipated series was plagued by production difficulties and casting issues and never really caught fire with viewers.
Originally scheduled to launch last fall, NBC eventuallly debuted it as a summer series, and ratings struggled from the beginning.
'Love Bites' was created by 'Sex and the City' writer Cindy Chupack, who stepped down as showrunner to a consulting producer position during production.
'Love Bites' Stars Greg Grunberg & Constance Zimmer Preview Their New Romantic Comedy
Yes, I had the great (almost) misfortune of being on the set of 'Love Bites' back in December, the day they found out that NBC had cut their order (after rejiggering showrunners and pushing the show's launch several times and refusing to commit to a premiere date).
Not ideal, by any means, but stars Greg Grunberg and Constance Zimmer rallied and gave good interview, even with the awkward news in the air.
So what is 'Love Bites'? And if it's got all this drama before it even premieres, is it worth watching? Well, here are the facts: It's an hour-long romantic comedy premiering tonight (Thurs., June 2, 10PM ET on NBC) that tells three semi-connected stories each episode. One follows single and pregnant Annie, played by 'Ugly Betty' alum Becki Newton. The other is about fun married couple Colleen and Judd (Zimmer and Grunberg). And the third is a wildcard.
Actors in Limbo: Second Position Pilot Role Breakdown
It's not strange for an actor to a take a pilot role in second position to a ratings-challenged series. However, what's pretty strange is both Lefevre and Henderson currently star in 'Off the Map' and have both been tapped for NBC's 'The Crossing.'
According to Deadline, the post-Civil War drama will see Henderson as Jason, a soldier who treks across the country and winds up in a town that welcomes him as a savior. Lefevre will play a war widow in the Missouri town Henderson's character settles in.
Does NBC know something we don't? Are they just not that into 'The Crossing' or do they just really love 'Off the Map'? We may never know.
'Wonder Woman' Recruits Cary Elwes, Watch a Preview of Audrina Patridge's Reality Show and More
He'll play Henry Detmer, the acting CEO of Themyscira Industries and an uncle-like figure to Adrianne Palicki's Diana Prince who could potentially turn into a love interest, according to Deadline.
Meanwhile, TV Line reports that Becki Newton, one of pilot season's most sought-after stars, has signed on for the Fox comedy pilot formerly known as 'Home Grown.' The casting is in second position to her as-yet-unaired NBC series, 'Love Bites.'
Jim Cavizel, also known as Mel Gibson's Jesus in 'The Passion of the Christ,' has booked the leading role in the J.J. Abrams/Jonah Nolan pilot 'Person of Interest,' according to Vulture. He joins the already-cast Taraji P. Henson and Michael Emerson.

Top 20 Funniest 'Ugly Betty' Quotes
Betty (America Ferrera) got off quite a few clever retorts of her own, and how could we not include her boss (and mate for life?) Daniel Meade (Eric Mabius), who often opened his mouth without thinking, to hilarious results. Or what about her always-fabulous nephew, Justin (Marc Indelicato)?
In honor of tomorrow night's series finale (10PM ET on ABC), we count down 20 of 'Ugly Betty's' best zingers.
TV Casting: Becki Newton Joins NBC Dramedy
Becki Newton Chomps on 'Love Bites'
'Ugly Betty' started off strong but seemed to meander in the later seasons. Once it was relegated to Friday night (usually where science fiction and fantasy is sent to die), it was already pretty much done. What prompted the strong start was a memorable cast of characters, including Amanda Tanen as played by Becki Newton.
It's good for Ms. Newton to play someone radically different than Amanda to prevent typecasting. Granted, 'Love Bites' sounds at first like a series involving vampire romance. For Ms. Newton's sake, let's hope 'Love Bites' doesn't, well, suck.
ABC cancels Ugly Betty
I really loved the first season of Ugly Betty, and I continued to watch it into the second season, but somewhere along the line I just lost interest in it. It wasn't the cast, I think it was just that plots kept spiraling into directions I didn't think were interesting (or funny). But now that the show is ending I kinda feel bad about not watching it the last couple of seasons.
So I guess this is the part where we all list our predictions on how the show will end, who Betty will end up, what will happen to Mode, and all that. At least they know the show is ending and can plan a good final episode.
Becki Newton and Kelly Ripa: Separated at Birth? (VIDEO)
Newton and Ripa had a model-off on 'Live With Regis and Kelly' after Regis Philbin suggested the two share a similar look. Then, Newton said she once allowed a paparazzo to believe she was Ripa while being photographed. Going with the flow or potential identity theft? Better make sure your social security number is secure, Kelly.
Watch the video after the jump.
Alec Baldwin is getting a new girlfriend on 30 Rock
An E! correspondent talked to Alec Baldwin on the red carpet at an Elle party and Baldwin told her that he's getting a new love interest on the show. When asked who, he wouldn't say, but looked around and said it was someone who was near to them.
On the Set: 'Ugly Betty'
After this week, 'Betty' will go on hiatus -- but not before AOL TV was able to snag an exclusive on-set visit.
So what's it like to spend a day with the cast? Read through our gallery to find out what to expect when the show returns, how the move to New York has changed filming and why Becki Newton's first Manhattan apartment was so horrific.
On the 11th day of Festivus, TV gave to me...
Oh sure, there may be 12 shows a stinkin', but there's still reason to tune in. See just like advertisers, show-runners and TV executives know that sex sells. And hot chicks sell. And hot chicks selling their sexuality sell like hotcakes ... or chicks ... I never can get that right. But just being hot and sexy isn't enough. To really sell it, they need to be as close to naked as legally allowed on the airwaves. We're talking "Oops, sorry to barge in on you standing there in your underwear bending over the bed pulling on your fishnet stockings. Nice rack."
Sometimes near-nudity, and even nudity, legitimately serves the plot. Let's face it, Anna Paquin had to bang that vampire on True Blood so she was going to have to get naked. It's a necessity. But Yvonne Strahovski on Chuck? Does she have to be in her underwear that often to protect the Intersect? Was it required by Simon Elder that Karen Darling be in her underwear in order to talk to him? Of course not. But it's hot and that's the way we like it. Hell, they made Catalina a stripper on My Name is Earl.
ABC wants you to get ready for Betty
There hasn't been a new episode of Ugly Betty since January. Can you believe it? If you're like me, and need a refresher course on all things Meade and Suarez, ABC.com has a few options available. Fashion TV's rhyming reporter, Suzuki St. Pierre, summarizes the first two seasons in a four-minute video. I had forgotten how much had happened in the last few Betty episodes.
Even more entertaining is the show's first video podcast, led by co-stars Michael Urie and Becki Newton (Marc and Amanda). In addition to recording a hilarious song about season two's storylines, the actors interviewed Jeff Beal, the show's composer. Beal discussed his professional background and told some of the stories behind fans' favorite original Betty songs. The podcast can also be downloaded for free on iTunes.
Ugly Betty: A Thousand Words by Friday
(S02E13) It might not have been an official season finale (a faux-nale?), but this week's Ugly Betty could be the last one we see for a very long time. I miss the show already. So many issues are up in the air! What will happen with the Henry-Betty-Gio triangle? Will Wili's baby scheme succeed? Is Ignacio ever going to get another storyline? For now, we'll either have to use our imaginations or content ourselves with the Season One DVD. I've never been big on fanfic, so I'm going with Option B.
Ugly Betty: Odor in the Court
(S02E12) Courtroom drama! Perfume that makes you crazy! Baby-making schemes! This week's Ugly Betty had all the telenovela angles covered. In the grand tradition of fictional court proceedings, Claire's murder trial was over and done with in a couple of days. Don't you love that about TV? There was even time to spare for Gio, Wili, and Christina. Good thing, too, because there's only one episode left. Better get your fill of Suzuki St. Pierre now, folks.

At this point in his career, former #6 overall pick Yi Jianlian would have to be considered something of a bust. He had a decent enough year last season, averaging 12 points and 7.2 rebounds a game, but shot only 40% from the field and was traded for Quinton Ross last June.
"I thought that he really had no idea how to play," Thorpe said. "I thought that he was a guy who thought he could really shoot the ball, and that became kind of the center of his universe. And he really had no understanding of a way to impact the game other than 19-foot jumpers……In our gym he blew us away. We were told by his agent, Fegan, that we would be shocked by how athletic he was and we were. All my players in the gym were shocked. All the coaches were shocked. And I think he shocked himself."He was dunking everything, and beating guards down the floor, and stripping guards, and making plays full-court in transition with the ball in his hands. His strength coach, who is with him full-time, said he's never seen him do that kind of stuff before. All of a sudden, his personality came out, and he became a fun guy to be around. He brought spirit to practice. He was just a different guy."
With players like John Wall, Andray Blatche, and JaVale McGee on their roster, the Wizards already have one of the most intriguing collections of young talent in the league. If Jianlian can play up to his potential in Washington, they could have one of the most dynamic young frontlines in basketball.

Whatever…..we hear this story every year from David Thorpe. (Hello, Earl Clark, Tryus Thomas, etc…) Funny how he only mentions his clients. In the end, they all end out the same – unable to deliver on the hype that Mr. Thorpe has bestowed upon them.

One of the most dynamic front lines in the league? Hahahahahahaha
With Javale Magee, Yi Jianliann, and Andray Blatche?!?!?! Even Darko and Kevin Love find this hilarious.

Across the region, communities quenched their cabin fever Tuesday by soaking in rays of sunshine and warm-but-windy weather.
For the first time in months, local temperatures hovered in the mid-60s for most of the day. It appears the warmup is here to stay, at least for a while.
Temperatures in at least the mid-40s are forecast for the rest of the week, with Friday likely returning to the 60s, according to AccuWeather. But don't put the convertible top down or stash away your boots and coats just yet.
Rain and thunderstorms are expected through Friday.

A 230-nW 10-s time constant CMOS inteorrator for an adaptive nerve signal amplifier
Rieger, R., Demosthenous, A. and Taylor, J., 2004. A 230-nW 10-s time constant CMOS inteorrator for an adaptive nerve signal amplifier. IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, 39 (11), pp. 1968-1975.

This paper describes a micropower CMOS integrator with an extremely large time constant for use in a variety of low-frequency signal processing applications. The specific use of the integrator in an implantable biomedical integrated circuit is described. The integrator is based on the OTA-C approach and a very small transconductance of 100 pA/V was achieved by cascading a short chain of transconductance-transimpedance stages. The time constant of the integrator is tunable between about 0.2 and 10 s, and any offset voltages at the output terminal can be trimmed out. The circuit was fabricated in a 0.8-mum CMOS process, dissipates 230 nW from +/-1.5 V power supplies (excluding the bias circuitry and output buffers) and has a core area of 0.1 mm(2). The integrator offers superior performance in terms of power consumption, die area and time constant when compared to previously published work.

A new study has found yet more evidence that young people who take virginity pledges are no less likely to get STDs than those who don't take them. Relatedly, they are also more likely to have oral and anal sex than non-pledgers.
This isn't so much of a problem. Not only are oral and anal sex fun (unlike abstinence, which is not), they are thorougly approved by God. Hooray for fundamentalism!

"Not only are oral and anal sex fun.."
The latter is not quite such fun, however, for those who indulge in it regularly because their chances of contracting HIV/Aids is hugely increased. Er, but don't let me stop you!
'tis true, there's actually an 'AIDS Cupid' who flies around the ether sniffing out the unmistakable smell of bumming, then shoots the dirty perverts with his little 'AIDS arrow'. And a jolly good job too.
"Relatedly, they are also more likely to have oral and anal sex than non-pledgers."
Thus expect a huge increase in such pledges across Britain in the next few years, widely supported by Cuthbertson, the Daily Mail, David Blunkett*, Melanie Phillips and probably the "pro-war left", followed by a few years' later much complaining abot how the "left" were responsible for the huge increase in oral and anal sex, and demands that the "decent left" admit they were wrong and support Jeb Bush's Presidency.
* Well it would have saved him a lot of legal fees.
I covered a similar story on my blog.
The thing that I always find totally incomprehensible is that we're a country with a known, serious demographic deficit and pensions timebomb, and our major policy initiative to deal with it is to try to crack down on the only people who are having babies! In a sane political economy, teenage mothers would be given medals.
Indeed the high UK teenage birth rate is actually the reason the UK replacement-rate (is that the right word) is 1.7 compared with 1.6 in the rest of Europe.
David, I think you missed out the phrase 'with loads of different people they don't know' somewhere in that comment?
dsquared – …along with not frantically trying to bar thousands of young, active, often well-educated people from taking jobs here.
As I understand it, HIV being an adaptable virus, there are strains that are better suited to transmission through anal sex and there are strains that are better suited to transmission through vaginal sex. The former are more successful and more prevalent, but, obviously, each has its niche in certain sections of the population.
The point isn't whether you have sex with lots of people you don't know (well, obviously that's a point, but it's not the one David was making). The point is that, if you have anal sex with someone who has HIV, you are more likely to catch the virus from them than if you have vaginal sex with the same person. It is also true that a woman is more likely to catch HIV from a man than a man is from a woman.

Patient-Centered Computing and eHealth
In early May, I had the opportunity to attend the Harvard Medical School CME course, Patient Centered Computing and eHealth: Transforming Healthcare Quality. The 2 1/2 day course is directed by Blackford Middleton,MD, MPH, MSc Corporate Director Clinical Informatics Research and Development Partners HealthCare and co-directed by Patricia C.Dykes, DNSc, MA, RN Senior Nurse Scientist Nursing Research Program Director Center for Nursing Excellence Brigham and Women's Hospital. The outstanding faculty of experts included Brent James, Paul Tang, Patti Brennan, John Halamka, Fabienne Bourgeois, Josh Seidman, Victor Strecher, Judy Murphy, and many others. The full list of the faculty and their affiliations is included on the site linked to above. I served as the "official tweeter" for the course and want to share with my readers some of the highlights of this practical course designed for the physicians who are responsible for adopting EHRs and applying health IT in "meaningful" ways to improve healthcare quality.
The full transcript can be found at: http://hashtags.foxepractice.com/healthcare-hashtag-transcript.php?hashtag=PCeHealth11. For smaller doses, you can read the daily summaries here:
The course included workshops, panel discussions and plenary presentations. To give a taste of the topics covered and insights shared, I'm posting a few outtakes from the Twitter stream for #PCeHealth11 below:
Brent James opening keynote sobering view of healthcare crisis but making case of HIT as one key factor for positive change Clinicians are poor at "rate estimation" and need technology tools to support decision making - James |
Brent James — more important to standardize care than anything else to control costs and improve quality. Great opening talk! |
Sobko: 25% of Medicare recipients had a complication during care transition within 30 days post-discharge |
Sobko on care transition: setting goals helps engage patients with care plans; also teach them when there is a red-flag. |
Vic #Strecher #UMich to achieve behavior change don't always need Health Coach, often eHeatlh tools sufficient, or combo |
Common theme for engaging #patients : establish a mission or goal to drive behavior change. Tools alone aren't sufficient. |
#MU incentives have to be aligned so that efficiency gains aren't viewed as income reduction by some: @jhalamka. |
#NHIN isn't a "thing"; it's a set of data usage agreements and standards: @jhalamka #HIE |
Micky Tripathi: think of #HIE as a verb, the act of exchanging information. |
Common theme here: secure provider-patient communication saves time b/c it replaces phone calls that typically take more time. |
Recap from @bfm for day 1: healthcare system is in crisis (Brent James) & has severely negative effect on US financial health. |
Need to train physicians to be effective knowledge managers; simply too much to know everything. @bfm #KM #CDS #pcehealth11 |
Paul Tang keynote: cannot change issues like obesity one person at a time. Change must be community-driven. |
Jon Wald—biggest driver of usage of patient journals in study: marketing of the patient portal by the practice. #PHR |
"Any doctor who can be replaced by a computer deserves to be replaced." -Dr Warner Slack |
Who sponsors #PHRs? 50% health insurers; 25% providers. J. Wald, RTI.org |
Not much focus on #patient-reported data yet in #EHRs; Wald calls it "patient-entered data" or P-E-D. #PHR |
BI-like dashboards w/ trend data in #EHRs help provide early warning signs to physicians. #analytics |
Too many facts to remember & the right information is often not available at point of need. #CDS #EBM #POC @bfm |
Referral is weak link in continuum of care: Zuccotti's team developed clinical referral management system. Patient role was key. |
Jonathan Teich def of #CDS: makes the right thing to do the easy thing to do. #EBM |
Teich refers to #AHRQ's eRecommendations project: http://bit.ly/jMMS3G #CDS |
Cool: @jjseidman describing new program #pophealth: http://projectpophealth.org/ Open-sourced qual measures prog. #CDS #MU |
AF4Q works with #ONC #REC (regional ext. centers) to help them w/ #quality measures; also trying to harmonize the many meaures. |
Alt. future: If providers don't respond to challenges they will be disrupted & insurers & payers will become coaches @bfm |
#ARRA #HITECH: the $27B tail wagging the $2.5T dog (Paul Tang). #HCR |
#EHR and #CDS adoption isn't so much a function of fear of techology; rather physicians need to be convinced of added value. @bfm |
#ACOs will shine light on importance of handoffs btwn providers & reduce missed communication. Luke Sato |
Powerful keynote by Brent James: "Today's problems are nearly always yesterday's solutions." #EBM |

Invisible LawmakingBarak OrbachUniversity of Arizona October 3, 2012 79 University of Chicago Law Review 1 (2012) Arizona Legal Studies Discussion Paper No. 12-32 Abstract: Private lawmaking is an ordinary rent-seeking activity of interest groups: the pursuit of self-interest through regulation. Familiar examples of private lawmakers include the National Rifle Association (NRA), the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), and the National Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). Motivated private lawmakers take advantage of imperfections in the marketplace of ideas and utilize such imperfections to obscure their visibility. The U.S. Supreme Court's "marketplace of ideas" theory denies market imperfections and presumes prefect competition in the marketplace. This presumption rests on the Court's firm premise that the pursuit of self-interest necessarily serves the public. Resting on this unqualified confidence in the pursuit in self-interest, in Citizens United, the Supreme Court has empowered interest groups, strengthening their influence over public lawmakers. This Essay presents how the Supreme Court's confidence in the inherent value of the pursuit of self-interest has weakened democratic institutions, arming interest groups with effective means to draft the law of the land, while circumventing the public discourse and shortcutting open debates.

Crazy Like An Arctic Fox: Sarah Palin Joins Fox News
OK, I'll admit it, when I first got the news that Sarah Palin was signing on with Fox News to be a commentator and analyst, I was kind of like...huh(?), but that faded fast. Like many, it came at me from out of the blue, and I follow Sarah pretty closely.
Also, like many, I was concerned about the other efforts she has going on: Things like giving speeches, campaigning for Conservatives, doing charity work, and smacking Barack Obama upside the head on a regular basis. You know, saving the world stuff!
Of course, after the few minutes it took for all of this to sink in, and for me to process it all, I realized that this was, after all, Sarah Palin, the ultimate multi-tasker. Sarah Palin, the woman who is known to have a Blackberry in each hand, and her beautiful son Trig in her arms, all the while being briefed on something else. This is Sarah Palin, who reportedly has a photographic memory, and likes her briefings rapid fire!
The Fox News gig may be the easiest, least taxing job she'll have!
My second thoughts went to the Great Ronald Reagan, my political hero, and well, one of Sarah's, as well. Once again, one sees Sarah as nothing less than Reaganesque with this move.
Sarah's life really does parallel Reagan's in many ways:
Both grew up in small towns in modest surroundings.
Both played sports and played them well. Reagan played football, Sarah is a championship winning basketball player, and now a competitive runner.
Both went to small, "no name" colleges. And yes, as the left points out, Sarah went to several. Took her 5 years to get her 4 year degree in journalism. That sort of thing is rather common in America, among those who work their way through college, and pay for it all with the sweat of their brow.
Even more interesting, at least to me, is both were sportscasters. Reagan did radio, and Sarah did television, anchoring the local sports desk. In fact, as she pointed out in her book, it was her dream to go to work at ESPN.
Of course, Reagan had a long career as an actor before jumping into politics, though he was president of the Screen Actors Guild. Sarah got involved at a lot younger age, working her way up from one of the lowest elected offices, to the highest a state has to offer.
Even there, their career paths cross, as Reagan was the Governor of a large western state, California, and Sarah was Governor of our largest and most western state, Alaska.
This deal with Fox News is just another move that has Reagan written all over it, and likely smiling down in approval.
Ronald Reagan lost the 1976 Republican nomination to President Gerald Ford. During a period of time that some describe as Reagan's "time in the wilderness," Ronnie spent his time writing op-ed's for newspapers, giving speeches to any and every group possible, spreading the words of conservatism, and doing regular radio commentary.
When 1980 rolled around, Reagan had build an incredible grass roots following, a group of devoted supporters that would see him win two historic landslide victories.
This brings us to Sarah Palin, post governorship.
Sarah has written op-eds for numerous publications, much to the radical left's chagrin. I n fact, an op-ed she wrote for the Washington Post in July of 2009 on climate change and energy independence was the third most read of the year. And one she wrote early December, demanding Obama boycott Copenhagen was in the top 25. This is out of literally thousands of the opinion pieces published by WaPo in 2009.
Something Sarah has that Reagan did not, as Al Gore had not invented the internet yet, is social networking. Sarah has proven to be quiet adept at using Facebook and Twitter. I can't think of anyone else on the planet who could write two words on Facebook, and absolutely change history, as Sarah was able to do when she took on ObamaCare and pointed out that in every nation with socialized medicine there is major rationing of care.
Her "death panels" was a stroke of metaphoric genius that still has tongues wagging on both sides of the argument, and really knocked the shine off of hope and change. With those two paragraphs, Sarah changed history, and forever wounded the Obama presidency, some say mortally. One thing is for certain, history will look back at that Facebook post as a seminal moment in time, a point where Mr Obama saw his presidency slowly start to slip away.
Sarah is also giving speeches to diverse groups. From business folks like she did in Hong Kong, to Conservative groups, to charities. Looking at her line up this spring and summer, it is a diverse group indeed.
Then there is the book. Going Rogue, An American Life was a number one best seller a month before the public could ever hold one in their hands. Pre-publication sales broke all records. In fact, the day the book was first offered for pre-publication sale, it became the number one best seller at all of the major online book retailers.
The book debuted number one on the New York Times Best Seller List, and in the end, was the best selling book of 2009, causing the publisher, HarperCollins, to order a second printing, with 3 million total ordered, so far.
So....moving over to Fox News is the next logical step for Sarah Palin. Had there been 24/7 cable news in Reagan's day, that's where he would have been. But until Reagan himself repealed the so-called "fairness doctrine" a tool used by the democrat/communists to control the message for decades, (something they'd love to bring back) talk radio didn't even exist!
When one realizes what the political/media landscape looked like in Reagan's time, where all media was firmly in the hands of the left, one really understands the powerhouse Conservative that was Ronald Reagan.
As was expected, Sarah's first week on the job was hyped to the absolute max by Fox's P.R. machine, and rightly so, as Sarah Palin is a ratings bonanza, just as Oprah, or the folks at Saturday Night Live will attest. Her appearances on both shows saw ratings these shows hadn't seen in over a decade.
Also, as expected, the far left pulled out their tired, shop worn Saul Alinsky tactics and hooted and hollered. This was a twofer for them, as they could go after both of their bete noires at the same time.
They were aghast that a news organization would hire a former successful Governor, and vice presidential candidate as an analyst. I mean why on earth would a news organization ever hire someone with a degree in communications and journalism!
As our friend The Mighty Serf puts it: "Nothing says 'patriot' like being attacked by a bunch of dirty, lying communists!"
Now I'll kind of let the reader do their own analysis of how Sarah did in her first week. And bear in mind, these appearances were more "get to know you" sort of deals, not anything indicative of what she will be doing at Fox, although, with Sean Hannity, they did sort of jump right in to work.
In order, here's how Sarah's week went:
First up, Bill O'Reilly. It went as expected, it was all about Bill O'Reilly, with O'Reilly going so far as to have people on right after Sarah to analyze his interview of her. (And praise him) He spends most of the time going over the attacks against her, and of course, Fox, seemingly unable to grasp that the left hates her simply because she exists. It really isn't any more complicated than that.
BTW, Sarah added a solid one million extra viewers to Billy's already ratings giant, The O'Reilly Factor.
Next up is Hannity. This is a pretty good session of analysis, which is why you haven't heard the corrupt Obamacentric media say a single word about it!
Good solid work, in my opinion, probably the best of the three, if one is to evaluate Sarah's capabilities as a journalist. You can watch the rest of the interview courtesy of our friends at Conservatives4Palin here.
The last interview of the week comes from Glenn Beck. This one is the most curious, and the one I personally liked and sort of didn't like. It's complicated....
As both Glenn and Sarah are lightning rods for all of the hate that defines the left, one shouldn't be surprised that this is the interviewed that caused controversy.
In fairness to Glenn, he was pretty sick when they did the interview. As one could tell by his performance the next day, when he hosted his second forum of prominent black leaders, including our friends Adrienne Ross and Clifton Bazar. Glenn had Charles Payne on to act as his "voice" and to help moderate.
I say this to point out that Glenn, who usually does very well in these personal style, one on one deals was not at his very best. But this is an incredibly interesting interview, as Glenn asked questions that are just never asked. It also gives you an incredible insight into Sarah.
You can watch all of the hour long interview over at The Right Scoop, here.
Now most Palinistas already know about the "controversy" thanks to a highly edited hit piece by Media Matters, the group funded by Nazi collaborator, and self proclaimed "owner of the democrat party," George Soros.
As you see, Glenn asks Sarah who her favorite founder was, and she answers "all of them" leading up to say that they are all important, but it was George Washington who she admires the most. The essential man. For the Record, this was Beck's choice, as well.
Media Matters, which sent their butchered video, taken out of context, to the media outlets, who dutifully played the clip ad nauseam, tried to not only misconstrue the conversation, but compare it to Sarah's "all of 'em" answer to that hack Katie Couric, on what newspapers she reads.
Yeas, the left really is that desperate!
Clearly, anyone with an ounce of intellectual honesty will listen to the unedited exchange, and understand where Sarah was going with this before Glenn jumped in. Also, just as clearly, if one pays attention, is the fact that Beck was leading up to the real point of the entire interview, and that was asking Sarah Palin if she, indeed, was our generation's George Washington.
With all of this in mind, Glenn devoted his radio show the next day to further discussing this interview with Sarah. In fact, one really can't fully "get" Beck's interview with Sarah without also watching this companion video. Beck's commentary is fascinating here. What's interesting is how he says that he wasn't doing the interview for the viewers, but for himself. He truly wanted to see if Sarah, in his mind, was for real.
He gives us further insight into Sarah, talks about how guarded she is, and how she really goes out of her way to be prepared for "gotcha" questions these days. But he boils it all down to the real point of doing this interview. Again, I'll let the reader be the final judge if he made his point here or not. But one simply must watch this video, to understand the interview.
Watch it all, for sure, but at about 20 minutes in is where Beck talks about the founding fathers, and when he sort of comes to his conclusions.
BTW, when I was growing up, we were taught in school that Washington was the "father of our country." Past that, if someone held a gun to my head, and I had to honestly answer who my favorite founding father is, I'm not sure I'd have an answer any better than "all of the above."
Each man gave their unique contribution. But more poignantly, and this is something we often forget, all of these men, all of our founding fathers, risked it all. Remember, all of these men were committing treason. Each and every one had a price on their head and faced certain death had they failed.
In the end though, I enjoyed the Beck interview, because...though they had never met....in person, Glenn has the longest history of any of the major media interviewing Sarah, having done many interviews with her over the years, and they have a good rapport with one another. It was nice to see her and Glenn get tickled at each other.
The fun part though was their open offer to Saturday Night Live for them to co-host the show. I'd be willing to bet someone is already working on that deal, as the last time Sarah appeared, SNL had it's best ratings in 17 years, and by all accounts, both Loren Michaels and his producers were very pleased to have her. With NBC's current sad state of affairs, I think this one is a no brainer!
I know this is a tad bit long to just sit back and say that overall, Sarah Palin had a very good debut on Fox News. Frankly, I think there is a whole lot more to it than that.
First, I am totally convinced that Sarah will run for President in 2012. She may not even know this yet, as even Glenn Beck suggests, but Sarah is that "essential man." That reluctant servant America needs.
One thing I have learned about Sarah, after watching her and studying her career. Sarah Palin does not lust after power, Sarah Palin lusts after results. There is simply no one else out there that has this essential quality. This is why I believe with all of my heart and soul that Sarah will find herself compelled to run, compelled to step in and do what is right for our nation. There is simply no one else out there with her character that is up to the task.
In the mean time, Sarah is taking a proven path, a path that saw Ronald Reagan win two historic landslide victories and become one of America's greatest Presidents.

Governor Palin and I Discuss Dr. Martin Luther King
By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com
I spent all day Friday talking with each of my 7th grade English Language Arts classes about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It was during that lesson, by the way, that I discovered the secret to education. Everyone asks what's the key to making children attentive, expressive, and even tame. I found it...but I'm not willing to share it yet. Maybe soon! Trust me; it's worth paying me for!
Back on topic...
It was a joy to engage in classroom conversation about the legacy of Dr. King, his life, his dream, and his sacrifice. Students opened up about what he means to them, what he sought to accomplish, and whether his dream has become a reality. Adults can learn a lot simply by listening to the young.
I tell you now exactly what I told my students Friday: "Monday, when you're enjoying your day off, remember a man paid for that day off with his very life."
Dr. King seemed to know that he would not live to see everything unfold that he had fought for. He fought anyway. He seemed to know that his cry for freedom would cost him everything. He cried out anyway. May we ever continue the work that he poured himself into.
A few minutes ago, Governor Palin also discussed Dr. King via Facebook:
She also tweeted:
I remember when Martin Luther King Day became a federal holiday. I also remember this song that celebrated it. Listen...

Tomorrow, America honors the memory of one of our greatest – Martin Luther King, Jr. He used his gifts and talents in selfless, mighty ways to mobilize efforts against racial discrimination and is deserving of our honor.
Please take a moment to tell your children about this great man. He fought for liberty and equality because he knew they were God-given and he knew that no government should be empowered to thwart our freedom. King summarized his mission when stating that no one should be judged based on skin color, but by the content of one's character.
Seeming to have a foreboding notion of how quickly life passes, he did not waste time on pettiness. He believed that "the quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important."
May our children follow in the footsteps of giants like King, who sincerely respected equality.
- Sarah Palin
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." – MLK
She also tweeted:
On MLK Day,remembr his selfless,faithful efforts 2 destroy racial walls."Faith is taking 1st step even when u don't see the staircase"-MLKjr
I remember when Martin Luther King Day became a federal holiday. I also remember this song that celebrated it. Listen...
Dr. Martin Luther King,

Directed by Kang Woo-seok (강우석)
Screenplay by Kim Ki-beom-I (김기범)
144min | Release date in South Korea : 2011/01/20Acclaimed Korean director Kang Woo-seoks first film based on a true story, GLove, tells the story of a baseball team whose members are all hearing-impaired.
Kim Sang-nam (Jeong Jae-yeong), a hot-tempered former professional baseball player, is sent to the countryside to coach a team of hearing-impaired players in order to avoid media coverage of his recent involvement in an assault case.
At first, Kim has a difficult time imagining how he can teach baseball to a group of boys who cant hear, but as he spends time with them he starts to believe that they can play the game.
Motivated, Kim decides to help them prepare for the nationals.
But things dont go the way Kim plans and their difficulties communicating with one another exacerbates the situation.
Kang, who is known for action and crime thrillers such as Silmido (2003) and Public Enemy (2002), said in a recent interview that he wanted to make a film that would make him happy during the production process.
Jeong won Best Actor for his performance in Moss (2010), which was also directed by Kang, at the 31st Blue Dragon Film Awards in November.
