I loved this hotel. Everyone was so efficient and pleasant and the hotel itself rocked. The room was fantastic and I didn't even want to leave it! This is definitely my choice hotel in Milan from now on ... being near the train station is an ugly area but so convenient.

A very nice hotel, almost perfect. Yet, beware of the minibar in the room: they charged us 4.- Euros for each of the small bottles of water in the fridge!

The decoration is nice both in common area and in the room. The loacation is great since it is situated just across the road from the Milan Centrale station, good choice for connecting to other cities, other countries, and the airport. The metro line is also at the same distance. The staff is polite and willing to help. The disadvantage is you can feel/hear the sound of the train. Another point is the hotel gives only 30 minutes free wifi per night of stay which canbe used at the lobby only!

Greenbrier bankruptcy case dismissed for new owner
In light of that, Marriott attorney Lawrence Katz told Huennekens Tuesday that his company would agree to the dismissal of the bankruptcy case.
After the hearing, Justice said Tuesday's dismissal was the final step in removing obstacles to restore and preserve The Greenbrier, which he called "an American treasure." The resort, which dates back to 1778, has hosted nearly 30 presidents and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The economic health of the community surrounding The Greenbrier is just as important to the 58-year-old Justice, who lives about 5 miles from the property and has coached girls' basketball at Greenbrier East High School for nine years.
"Do we have a big day ahead of us? Absolutely," he said. "Do we have some challenges? Absolutely."
But he says he's up for the challenge of turning The Greenbrier around and making money, as well as ensuring the enthusiasm of his workers and longevity of the jobs he's creating.
"I love to win the game," he said. "The jazz in the big game is profitability."

Comfortable and practical these shoes can be casual with jeans etc or smart with black opaque tights. My podiatrist recommends shoes with thick soles to absorb shock and these are ideal without making my feet look like barges!

I have fallen arches, metatarsal pain and no natural cushioning left on the bottom of my feet so am finding it really hard to get shoes. These are great, soft suede, comfortable sole - I can wear them all day and not be in pain. Brilliant!

Anne, wokingham
I take a size 9 wide in these shoes so you might expect them to look large, but they don't. The style is very flattering and they look elegant with skirts as well as trousers. The wedge is discrete. Thank you Clarks for making size 9 shoes! Can we please have more styles in size 9 because I know there's growing demand from us women with larger feet. Thank you in anticipation! Feedback from Clarks: Thanks for leaving a review; we value all our customer feedback so thank you for your comments which have been fed back to our team.

I was looking at ankle boots in Clarks, but didn't find any comfortable enough to buy. I saw these and was intrigued. Something kept drawing me back to look at them again and again. I haven't had a pair of shoes for over 20 years! I always wear boots, sandals or flip flops. These were so comfortable. It was like wearing slippers. Also, because there is a slight wedge they are more comfy than flat shoes. My feet looked really nice in them- not big like a clown's. They tick all the boxes.

These shoes proved to be what I had hoped. Smart, comfortable, good shape and most of all fit! Clarks shoes are the size they say they are as sizes not continental. Time will tell how they wear, but going by previous experience, they should do well. Size 8 and above sometimes do not exist and or sell out before I get to the shop! Otherwise, well done, Clarks

I bought these shoes for my 92 year old mum who buys nothing but Clark's shoes. The Swansea store didn't have her size so the assistant offers to have them sent to her home address. Being 92 this took a little explaining but a few days (earlier than we were told in the store) they arrived and she is over the moon with them. The service you provide is top notch and mix that with the courtesy of the store staff make this a perfect service. Many thanks. Ian D.Howells

These are exactly what I was looking for after my last pair of suede brogues gave up on me. I wear these as my work shoes, they are comfortable, the wedge is great for me as I'm only 5"2' and working in retail there's always a security pin dropped on the floor somewhere and these have already saved me from having one in my foot! My only issue and the reason for a 4 star rating is that I find that these bag a little on the outside of my ankle. This may be because I'm flat footed but even with my orthopaedic insole they still have a gap there. (Being flat-footed means they also seem to have a bit too much up-and-down room when I take a break from my Ortho-Soles,I tried a Clarks insole in store and that seems to correct this) . They're still comfortable but it makes me feel a little less secure than I would ideally like.

Ordered for my daughter aged 11 who found the children selection a little limited for her big feet. These are comfy and stylish and she is delighted with them and can wear them in and out of school. Thanks

I often favoured shoes that looked good over shoes that were comfortable. Finally, came to realise that comfort should be prioritised - so I turned to Clarks. Helps that these shoes also look good - you can still see a tiny bit of your upper foot which gives the typically androgynous shoe style a feminine look. I feel as if I am walking on clouds with these. My feet, calves, shins, knees, thighs (what usually hurt with other shoes) do not hurt in the slightest anymore! So thankful. Shame they're suede. But I've been using a protector spray (also from Clarks) which seems to be protecting the suede from rain and dirt... for now.

I bought these 6 weeks ago for my teenage daughter. She rejected all the 'school shoes' as "Ugh, disgusting". These looked like a good alternative. Sensible, flattish, quality shoes that would last... 6 weeks. The sole on both shoes at the front has lifted. On returning them to the store I was told that they're not suitable for school! They are, apparently, fashion shoes. Can someone tell me the difference between a teenager walking to school and sitting at a desk all day and an adult walking to work and sitting at a desk all day? I'm sure I'm not alone in expecting a pair of £40 plus shoes lasting more than 6 weeks. The Uppers and Soles are in pristine condition (apart from the lifting at the front). My daughter weighs under 6 stone and no longer plays in a playground. She's a young adult. To be fair, they have offered to replace them but I do wish they would n't make up ridiculous excuses for why the shoes we've bought aren't suitable when they've sold them to us knowing they're for school use. If they're not suitable for walking on then they're clearly not fit for purpose in the first place! Rant over. Thank you for reading this review. Beware of buying Clarks shoes if you intend to walk in them ;-) Feedback from Clarks: Thanks for leaving a review; we're sorry to hear you're unhappy with your purchase. We value all our customer feedback so thank you for your comments which have been fed back to our team.

Last Friday, a Top 40 radio station in Calgary, Alberta, introduced listeners to a new format. As one on-air stinger put it, "90.3 AMP: Now twice the music."
When they say "twice the music," though, they actually mean half the song. That is, this station plays songs that have been heavily edited: long opening riffs, instrumental breaks, even a chorus or two might disappear. The goal, the station's representatives say, is to keep listeners from getting bored.
The programming man behind this venture is Steve Jones, vice president at the Canadian radio firm Newcap, who says the three- to five-minute pop song is out of date: a relic of the era of 45 RPM singles. Hear his conversation with NPR's Melissa Block at the audio link.

fuel consumption gas vs diesel
A couple of weeks ago there was a message string going about gas versus diesel engines and I was challenged when I made the comment that you get more hours of operation out of a gallon of diesel.
I just stumbled across the following on a web site called boatsafe.com.
How much do gasoline and diesel engines consume?
Diesel engines consume about 1 gallon per hour for every 18 hp used. You can estimate the number of gallons consumed per hour by multiplying horsepower used by 0.055.
Note: An engine at cruising speed usually uses only about two-thirds of its maximum available horsepower. Most marine engines are designed to run continuously at between 60 and 75 percent of maximum speed. Diesels tend to be more toward the top of the range.
Gasoline four stroke inboard engines need about 1 gallon per hour for every 10 hp used. The number of gallons consumed per hour can be estimated by multiplying horsepower used by 0.100. (see note above)

Trent Richardson: I'm not injury prone
BEREA, Ohio (AP)
Browns running back Trent Richardson isn't concerned about his latest injury and doesn't believe he's injury prone.
NEED SOME? GET SOMEFeed your NFL addiction! Come feast on all the news in our updating blog.
Richardson did not practice again Thursday because of a strained muscle in his lower right leg that could sideline him for an extended period.
As his teammates went through the final session of organized team activities under first-year coach Rob Chudzinski, Richardson worked on his conditioning off to the side. It wasn't his choice.
''It ain't no biggie,'' said Richardson, who sustained the injury recently while running during practice. ''It ain't nothing to worry about. I could be out there, but they want to be cautious about it to make sure I'm healthy and be right for camp.''
Richardson also missed last week's workouts and Chudzinski said there's a chance the second-year back could miss next month's minicamp. Richardson said the only pain he feels is not being on the field. With quotes
''It's terrible,'' he said. ''It's hard to watch. I tell coach every day I can put my helmet on and we laugh about it. But I know he means well.''
The injury doesn't appear to be serious, but Richardson's history of injuries has some wondering if he can stay healthy.
As a rookie, Richardson missed the exhibition season while recovering from knee surgery and played most of the year despite having two broken ribs. The first-round draft pick still managed to rush for 950 yards with 11 touchdowns.
Richardson is confident he will be able to stay on the field this season.
''It's not going to be like last year, being hurt and injured,'' he said. ''Injury prone is not going to be me. I just can't wait to get back out and running. "

Lansing UAW leader says Obama plan is a lifeline
By Rick Pluta / Kevin Lavery, Michigan Public Radio Network
East Lansing, MI – East Lansing, MI (MPRN/WKAR) - A union local leader says President Obama's two-month deadline for General Motors to come up with a new restructuring plan is a lifeline for the company.
Brian Fredline is the president of United Auto Workers Local 602.
The union represents workers at two Lansing-area GM plants.
Fredline says the plants he represents are state-of-the-art and environmentally friendly manufacturing facilities.
But the plants have been losing work, and dropping shifts.
Five hundred Local 602 members have also accepted buyouts.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
Always a fan of wandering troubadours, Current 93 experimental-music stalwart David Tibet has done his part to resuscitate Bill Fay and Simon Finntwo British singer-songwriters who recorded briefly in the late 1960s and early 1970s before disappearing completely. Fay dropped out in 1971 after two sublime Decca releasesa self-titled affair drowning in Tin Pan Alley arrangements and the more rock-inclined Time of the Last Persecution, which traded the horns and strings for world-weary apocalyptic tales. He cut most of Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow between 1978 and 1981 with little hope of it seeing release, and today it sounds like it should have stayed mothballed. Synthesizers are gooped and caked almost everywhere, and the album's mid-section is given over to half-formed ideas. Since Fay sounds here like Phil Collins mangling King Crimson ballads, one would never even know his strength has always been his narratives' Bob Dylanlike stream of consciousness.
Simon Finn was a more curious storya young drifter who made a lone album in 1969 that mixed raw Leonard Cohen moves with David Toop's multi-instrumental blurts. Tibet dug him up in Canada, and after reissuing his harrowing debut Pass the Distance, helped Finn cut the more spartan Magic Moments. But pared down to just guitar and violin, Finn's newer material doesn't kick in the same way. Long gone is the tremulant man-boy wail and clattering accompaniment, replaced instead with a fauxJames Taylor whine that turns his lyrics about bloodletting and demons into adolescent goth mash notes.
Gary Higgins made Red Hash in 1973 while waiting to serve a drug bid. Jailed and unable to promote it, he saw the album slip through cracks. But Six Organs of Admittance's Ben Chasny celebrated the man, and with the aid of Drag City brought him back to the fore. Fully restored, Higgins's sole LP channels the psych-folk vein into personally bleak territory, reverberating with sinewy smoke and pensive brooding. Directions unknown and outlooks grim, Higgins transcended his own fate with his plaintive strums and simple whispers. Back onstage this year, the man is poised to reclaim the path his life was so rudely pushed from.
Vashti Bunyan has been the most celebrated of this lot, blessed with a quivering whisper that bespeaks dignity where it lacks sheer power. Now that she's recorded with both the Animal Collective and Devendra Banhart, Lookaftering sees the chanteuse following up her iconic debut 35 years later without missing a beat. Two Espers and one Joanna Newsom help in the effort, but they remain strictly peripheral. Held to guitar and piano with simple arrangements, Bunyan proves she wasn't just a failed project of Nick Drake's producer Joe Boyd. Her beautiful lilt and casual demeanor remain unchanged, and it's hard to tell that she last recorded three decades ago.
A simple lack of history is what makes nodding to these influences so fashionable. There were no public meltdowns, no rehab stints, no predictable descents into the bowels of AOR hell, no public cases of spousal abuse. These resurrections highlight a fundamental difference (or a desire for one) between the folk of new and old. And sure, the superlatives are hardly ever warranted, but that doesn't stop the excursions from being at least mildly interesting even in the case of a miss. Here's the lesson learned, for those without an audience today: Apparently patience is some kind of virtue after all.

Patients undergoing subacute rehabilitation have accurate expectations of their health-related quality of life at discharge
- Steven McPhail,
- Terry Haines
- … show all 2 hide
Expectations held by patients and health professionals may affect treatment choices and participation (by both patients and health professionals) in therapeutic interventions in contemporary patient-centered healthcare environments. If patients in rehabilitation settings overestimate their discharge health-related quality of life, they may become despondent as their progress falls short of their expectations. On the other hand, underestimating their discharge health-related quality of life may lead to a lack of motivation to participate in therapies if they do not perceive likely benefit. There is a scarcity of empirical evidence evaluating whether patients' expectations of future health states are accurate. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy with which older patients admitted for subacute in-hospital rehabilitation can anticipate their discharge health-related quality of life.
A prospective longitudinal cohort investigation of agreement between patients' anticipated discharge health-related quality of life (as reported on the EQ-5D instrument at admission to a rehabilitation unit) and their actual self-reported health-related quality of life at the time of discharge from this unit was undertaken. The mini-mental state examination was used as an indicator of patients' cognitive ability.
Overall, 232(85%) patients had all assessment data completed and were included in analysis. Kappa scores ranged from 0.42-0.68 across the five EQ-5D domains and two patient cognition groups. The percentage of exact correct matches within each domain ranged from 69% to 85% across domains and cognition groups. Overall 40% of participants in each cognition group correctly anticipated all of their self-reported discharge EQ-5D domain responses.
Patients admitted for subacute in-hospital rehabilitation were able to anticipate their discharge health-related quality of life on the EQ-5D instrument with a moderate level of accuracy. This finding adds to the foundational empirical work supporting joint treatment decision making and patient-centered models of care during rehabilitation following acute illness or injury. Accurate patient expectations of the impact of treatment (or disease progression) on future health-related related quality of life is likely to allow patients and health professionals to successfully target interventions to priority areas where meaningful gains can be achieved.

The South African announced his retirement from the Test match format on the eve of the second Test against India during the just concluded two-nation ODI and Test series tournament in South Africa.
A Zee Research Group (ZRG) study of cricketers that exited from one or the other format of the game in the recent past showed an overall general decline in their performance in formats they continued to engage in. The study takes into account the performance of matches played across formats as of January 7, 13.
The study evaluated batting and bowling averages before and after retirement. Therefore, two sets of averages emerged: average for all international matches played post retirement by a cricketer and cumulative average in that format before retirement.
The list of cricketers whose performance thus deteriorated is long. Former captain of Australia Ricky Ponting announced his retirement from One Day Internationals (ODIs) in February 2012 while choosing to stick to play Test cricket. Ponting's Test batting average before his ODI retirement decision was 53.44 but for the matches he played after the retirement it skid to a career low of 18.44.
Likewise, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar registered a drop in Test average after quitting ODI cricket in December 2012. His Test average was 54.64 before leaving the 50-overs game but dropped to 33 for Tests he played thereafter.
Similarly, former England captain, Andrew Strauss, who retired from one-day cricket in May, 2011 following the World Cup couldn't perk up his game in Tests. His Tests average which was 42.98 dipped to 30.74 for matches played post retirement move.
The study highlights the importance of one go retirement for batsman as well as bowlers. The tiered approach comes with a negative performance tag. Here is how:
Sri Lanka's premier fast bowler Lasith Malinga gave up Test cricket in April 2011. His ODI bowling average before partial retirement stood at 26.38 and has now increased to 28.32 post retirement. The one day average of another Sri Lankan, Muttiah Muralitharan who quit Test cricket in July, 2010 also marginally increased from 23.07 to 23.21.
Moreover, Indian spin legend, Anil Kumble who said goodbye to limited over cricket in March 2007 couldn't improve his Test form thereafter. His bowling average which stood at 28.65 before retirement from ODIs jumped to 37.22. Similarly, with retirement bowling average of English fast bowler, Darren Gough, who quit Test cricket in August 2003, went up from 24.96 to 32.23.
However, there are a few exceptions, where players have scaled up after retiring from one format. Performance of current Australian captain, Michael Clarke has improved after he quit 20-20 cricket in January 2011. After the retirement, his batting average in Tests has gone up from 46.49 to 60.86, while, his ODI average has scaled to 48.92 from 44.01.
The ODI batting average of Sri Lankan opener Tillakaratne Dilshan who retired from Test cricket in October 2013 has reached 53 from 37.46. Pakistan former skipper Younis Khan who quit his T20 career in June 2009 has improved his batting average in Test afterwards but failed to repeat the same in ODIs. Khan's batting average in Test has increased from 51.80 to 52.04 but in ODIs the average has dropped to 27.71 from 33.40.
Will South African all rounder reverse or follow the trend?
Kallis, of course, has the attitude and skill set to established trend of partial retirement not changing the fortunes of the cricketer.
Among those who announced Test cricket retirement in last two years included Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and Andrew Strauss. Unlike Kallis they did not score a ton on their last Test outings.

At that point his health was failing him and he wasn't on stage nearly as long in person as they made it look like on TV. Lots of guest comedians and so on. It was still alot of fun for a homesick kid finishing his training. I think with everything the man did for the military he was almost a saint.

Instead of planning the next protest or speach to "take up" for the enemy remember the troops there fighting for thier lives regardless of if you believe they should be there or not.

The State of U.S. Kids: 2010
What's it like to be a U.S. kid? That's what KidsHealth.org and the magazine TIME for Kids wanted to know. So we asked 1,000 kids from all over the country. What we learned surprised us, impressed us, and reminded us that being a kid isn't always easy!
Now here's your chance to take the survey, too. Weigh in on everything from how your life is going (great, we hope!) to what grade you would give the President if you were filling out his report card. After each question, we'll show you the results of the national survey so you can see how your answers compare.
Soon President Obama will give the State of the Union address. (That's when he tells us how the United States is doing.) But right now, we want to know the state of U.S. kids - like you!
To participate in our survey, follow these directions:
Step 1: If you're not taking the survey with a teacher or in school, tell your parents you'd like to participate. If it's OK, move on to Step 2.
Step 2: Answer the questions below. To protect your privacy online, please do not include your last name or email address. Note: If you see an asterisk (*) by a question or box, that means you have to answer or fill in that part.
Step 3: Click "Done."
Please note that you have left the KidsHealth website. This survey was created by KidsHealth and TIME for Kids and is on a secure site. Your responses will be treated as confidential and will not be sold or otherwise disclosed to third parties.

Actually, Thanos' primary motivation has always been love. Unfortunately, the object of his affection is the the embodiment of Death, so he tries not to conquer all life, but rather deliver it all to "her". Creepy shit...

Get in the festive spirit by joining the Roane State Community College choral and instrumental ensembles in a holiday celebration.
The college's annual holiday concert will be held Friday, Dec. 9, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 11, at 3 p.m. in the O'Brien Theater.
The Concert Choir will offer "A Song Is Born," a cantata for Christmas by Douglas Nolan.
The Celebration Singers, Jazz Band and Bluegrass Band will perform holiday favorites, including some pop collaboration.
Scandanavians associated mistletoe with Frigga, their goddess of love, and it may be from this that we derive the custom of kissing under the mistletoe.
Those who kissed under the mistletoe had the promise of happiness and good luck in the following year.
• The practice of kissing under the mistletoe was described in 1820 by American author Washington Irving in his "The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon":
If this had been a ballgame, Jim Henry was definitely on the home court.

"It really is a labor of love," said Ireland. "I truly enjoy doing it."
She also admitted a lot of effort goes into the effort.
Eric Gallaher, in jail with no bond for violating the conditions of his pretrial release, asked Roane County General Sessions Court Judge Jeff Wicks for a break on Monday.
"Is there anyway I could get a work release?" he asked.
"No, sir," Wicks responded. "I'm not allowing work release on this."
That means Gallaher could remain jailed at least until his preliminary hearing, which is scheduled for Jan. 23.

A temporary shelter at Harriman Community Center was set up Sunday after a small fire and extensive smoke damage forced the evacuation of dozens of public housing residents at Harriman Gardens shortly after midnight.
The fire appears to have originated in a fourth-floor dayroom in the 925 Sewanee St. building.
Harriman Fire Chief Brad Goss said the fire's cause is still under investigation.
Goss had one bit of key information, however.
"It started on a couch, it appears," Goss said.
Cracker Barrel stays busy, but the Thanksgiving crowd is an exceptional challenge.
Each year, people break with tradition and the hard work of preparing a big meal and head out to eat — often to the popular eatery.
"From the guest's point of view, it is more of a way for the family to get together and not worry about the mess, cooking and cleaning," said Sherman Minton, an associate manager at the Harriman restaurant. "They can actually enjoy Thanksgiving."
Despite a moratorium from the state, sewer service to any prospective developments on North Pine Ridge Road shouldn't be a problem.
Harriman Utility Board manager Bill Young said the utility can extend the service to pick up a customer.
An issue was whether sewer lines were already under the railroad tracks that cross Pine Ridge.
Longtime Roane County Board of Education Member Mike "Brillo" Miller found himself on the losing end of another school calendar vote last Thursday.
This one dealt with a resolution that opposes legislation to impair a local board's ability to establish its own calendar. It passed by a 6-3 vote.
"I don't like to bring up school calendar, but I do think it should rest with the local board and not with the legislature in Nashville," Board Member Wade McCullough said.
The confusing Rockwood intersection known as the cloverleaf, where Hwys. 70 and 27 merge, will soon be getting a makeover.
Message boards and signs for the construction are in place now.
"The message boards will be notifying the public of the change in traffic pattern for Nov. 30," said Tennessee Department of Transportation spokesman Mark Nagi.
Preliminary work at the intersection started this week. Traffic will be shifted to two lanes during construction, which is scheduled for completion in May.

Community based rehabilitation: a strategy for peace-building

Certain features of peace-building distinguish it from peacekeeping, and make it an appropriate strategy in dealing with vertical conflict and low intensity conflict. However, some theorists suggest that attempts, through peace-building, to impose liberal values upon non-democratic cultures are misguided and lack an ethical basis.
We have been investigating the peace-building properties of community based approaches to disability in a number of countries. This paper describes the practice and impact of peace-building through Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) strategies in the context of armed conflict. The ethical basis for peace-building through practical community initiatives is explored. A number of benefits and challenges to using CBR strategies for peace-building purposes are identified.
During post-conflict reconstruction, disability is a powerful emotive lever that can be used to mobilize cooperation between factions. We suggest that civil society, in contrast to state-level intervention, has a valuable role in reducing the risks of conflict through community initiatives.

I guess if you don't have the means to recharge sure, but I routinely charge them using a 12V plug for the charger in my car. I have never had a single issue with one of my batteries. I think making the comparison between NiCad and Li Ion is not accurate. I agree Ni Cad are not the best. Li Ion batteries are much stronger, more powerful and they last right up until the end, at which point the voltage cutoff will drop out and the light turns off.
With the run times of these lights, even on high, you's have to be in that smoky basement a helluva lot longer than your oxygen tank to outrun a battery. That's one of the things I like about rechargeable, I always have the ability to have a full battery.
Being off the grid doesn't mean you cant recharge batteries, unless you are literally off the grid for months and not driving anywhere, I'd just use the drive to town as a chance to charge all the batteries.
BTW where are you in NH? I grew up in Maine and love going over to the Conn lakes fishing

Description: Maribel Lee born on April 25th, 2012 after 39 weeks of pregnancy and 1 hour and 9 minutes of active labor. She was 8 lbs, 20.5 inches long.If you'd like to read about the unassisted birth of my twins, their story can be found here: http://thebirthingsite.com/birthing-places/item/331-my-unassisted-birth-of-my-twins.htmlI keep getting asked why I had this baby on the toilet. If you did not read above, my labor lasted a little over an hour. Shortly after I realized I was in active labor, I went to the toilet to clear my bowels. After doing so, I tried to clean myself up as best I could between contractions, then tried to get up. It hurt, and I was starting to have a contraction again, so I sat back down. I took a few contractions on the toilet, and grabbed my thighs with each one, opening my pelvis. It felt good. Soon I began to feel nauseous and started to retch (but did not vomit), which is why there is a garbage can in front of me. After I was done retching, I checked my cervix (as I know the act of retching can make you dilate), and found myself to be at 6-7. I was in transition. I informed my husband, "Sorry, but I'm probably going to have this baby on the toilet." It was not my plan, and if I had a choice, I would not choose to do it again, even though it was easy cleanup. I did not like the position.

McGlynn, notes the Globe, briefly ran for the House in 1984, when Markey considered seeking the state's then-open Senate seat. But Markey ultimately backed down, allowing John Kerry—the man he is now hoping to replace—to succeed Paul Tsongas. McGlynn likewise abandoned his congressional hopes and later became mayor in 1988, serving ever since.
11:40 AM PT: AR-04: Democratic congressional recruitment in Arkansas last cycle was the pits—not a single candidate broke 40 percent in November, in a state that featured a 3 D, 1 R delegation as recently as 2010. Times, though, have changed in the Razorback State, and it may be a while before we elect another Dem there, but at least one guy is willing to consider a try: State Sen. Bruce Maloch says that if freshman GOP Rep. Tom Cotton runs for Senate, he'd "definitely be interested" in looking at the race.
If Cotton doesn't leave his seat open, though, then Maloch say he is (understandably) less enthused about the prospect of running. Despite serving in the House for less than two months, though, Cotton may well seek a promotion (many news reports suggest he's the preferred choice of the Republican establishment), so Maloch may get his shot. But seeing as Mitt Romney won this seat by a punishing 62-36 margin, he'll still have a hell of a time even if he doesn't have to face an incumbent.
11:57 AM PT: CA-21: It looks like Democrats won't get the guy who once was their top choice for California's 21st next year: State Sen. Michael Rubio is resigning to take a job as a lobbyist for Chevron, and he pretty clearly has no interest in politics anymore ("my current professional path has left little opportunity to be home for those who are most important to me"). Rubio specifically mentioned his youngest daughter, who was born with Down syndrome in late 2011, leading Rubio to abandon plans to run for Congress last cycle. That left Democrats without any strong candidates, ultimately handing this blue-tilting seat to Republican David Valadao. But even without Rubio, Valadao will be a top target for Dems next year.
A special election will also be necessary for Rubio's state Senate seat, which looks to be safely Democratic.
12:06 PM PT: Unfortunately, Rubio's departure does temporarily deprive California Democrats of super-majority status in the Senate thanks to some other vacancies, but we'll get it back shortly.
12:20 PM PT: WATN?: Justin Lamar Sternad, the fake Democrat put up by ex-Rep. David Rivera to try to harm Joe Garcia in the primary, was expected be indicted on Friday afternoon on charges of violating federal campaign finance laws. Sternad, a conservative without any money, somehow managed to pay for a host of mailers attacking Garcia (on incredibly specious bullshit), but the Miami Herald's reporting made it seem all but certain that the ethically challenged Rivera was behind the whole scheme. Unfortunately, according to the Herald, River is not named in the indictment, but perhaps he'll be charged separately at a later time.
12:38 PM PT: MA-Sen: Last week, I wondered about a discrepancy in the partisan composition of two MA-Sen Democratic primary polls: one from PPP, the other from MassINC. While the wording in MassINC's toplines PDF was a little confusing (they referred to all of their demographic categories as "questions"), it turns out that they were using party registration figures while PPP, as always, simply relied on partisan self-identification from its respondents. As you'd expect, these two metrics can yield very different results, and in a separate item, MassINC shows just how divergent they can be:
It's for this reason that many pollsters (like the aforementioned PPP) prefer party self-ID to registration. Indeed, about 20 states don't even have registration by party, so this kind of data doesn't even exist. And in certain places, like some Southern states, there's still a considerable "Dixiecrat overhang," as I like to call it, whereby lots of voters are registered as Democrats due to tradition, even though they probably would never pull the lever for Team Blue. For instance, almost 55 percent of Kentucky voters are still enrolled as Democrats, despite the state's conservative nature.
It's not clear to me why MassINC likes to use registration figures, particularly since they themselves acknowledge that the overlap with partisan self-identification "is not close to perfect." Indeed, given how fluid party ID can be, it seems like you can miss real movement if you rely on registration instead of self-ID, since it's a lot easier to change your mind about what party you identify with when talking to a pollster versus actually bothering to fill out a new voter registration form.
2:08 PM PT: IL-02: So here's a copy of that mailer from the Illinois State Rifle Association, the local affiliate of the NRA that just sent out some lit on behalf of ex-Rep. Debbie Halvorson in the Democratic primary. It's a cheap two-sided postcard, printed in black ink (and sporting a union bug!) that weirdly conveys the message that state Sen. Toi Hutchinson is still in the race. (The piece went out just the other day, after Hutchinson dropped out, so it seems like there's no excuse.) Mostly it's just an attack on NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg, whose super PAC has spent some $2 million on the race.
The Bloomberg plan is to create a nanny state where the government controls what you eat, what you drink, how you travel, your health-care — Bloomberg wants to control it all.Other than paranoid black helicopter-fearing maniacs (who don't typically vote in Democratic primaries), please tell me who is going to be receptive to this message? Is this seriously the best the NRA can muster?
2:13 PM PT: Hahah oh man. Just above the address area, they manage to misspell the current month as "Februay"!
2:24 PM PT: Oh sweet Jesus. They misspell "Halvorson" as "Halvorsen," too—in a four-line paragraph where they also spell it properly! What a bunch of clowns. If this is the best the NRA has to offer, then Democrats really ought to feel a lot more gung-ho about taking them on in the future.
2:29 PM PT: NE-Sen, -Gov, -01: Republican state Auditor Mike Foley says he's openly considering any of four electoral possibilities next year: Senate, governor, the 1st Congressional District (presumably if Rep. Jeff Fortenberry looks for a promotion of his own), or another term as auditor. Republicans (and Democrats) are all still waiting to see if term-limited Gov. Dave Heineman runs for Senate, though, as that will inform a lot of other decisions.
2:49 PM PT: AR-Gov: During his unsuccessful attempt to unseat then-Sen. Blanche Lincoln in the 2010 Democratic primary, unions were some of ex-LG Bill Halter's biggest backers. So it's little surprise to see one big labor group already getting behind him in his bid for governor: the United Steelworkers, who represent some 850,000 workers nationwide.
