Jefferson Friedman's String Quartet No. 3 Nominated for a GRAMMY
Composer Jefferson Friedman's String Quartet No. 3, part of the Chiara String Quartet's Jefferson Friedman: Quartets album released in April on New Amsterdam Records, has been nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Contemporary Classical Composition category (#76). The 54th Grammy Awards ceremony will take place on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2012, at 8pm EST on CBS.
Jefferson Friedman: Quartets also includes the composer's String Quartet No. 2 and two remixes of the quartets by electronica duo Matmos. Grammy-winning engineer Judith Sherman (who is also nominated this year in the Classical Producer of the Year category) produced the recording.
The album has drawn significant praise since its release. The Boston Globe reports that String Quartet No. 3 shows "astonishing imaginative breadth," while The San Francisco Chronicle raves, "It's a rare thrill to come across new music as exciting, vivacious and downright gorgeous as these two string quartets by young New York composer Jefferson Friedman." Gramophone states, "Both in concept and in content, this CD of American composer Jefferson Friedman's music breathes fresh new life into the string quartet genre. . ."
Friedman's String Quartet Nos. 2 and 3 were commissioned by the Chiara, and are the result of a near fifteen-year friendship with the composer. They met in 1996 at the Aspen Music Festival, where the Chiara premiered Friedman's first string quartet. They crossed paths again as graduate students at Juilliard and had a casual conversation that resulted in the composition of String Quartet No. 2 in 1999. In 2005, Friedman's third string quartet was commissioned by the Brooklyn Friends of Chamber Music on behalf of the Chiara. The world premiere took place that spring at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall.
Of a performance of No. 3, Allan Kozinn, writing in The New York Times reported it to be, "a vital, imaginative 30-minute score, packed with unusual timbres, unabashedly rich melodies and carefully worked-out themes. Mr. Friedman's quartets are finding plenty of performances; they already deserve to be heard as classics of this decade."
First violinist Rebecca Fischer remarks, "Jefferson describes his string quartets as abstract diary entries and the act of writing them as pure expression. Because we are such good friends, his music reflects our combined experiences; he writes for the Chiara Quartet as a unit and for each of our individual strengths and personalities. Parts of String Quartet No. 3 directly reflect this: 'Epilogue/Lullaby' is dedicated to my first daughter's birth, and the love duet in 'Act' between the second violin and cello was written at the time of Julie and Greg's engagement."
The remixes by Matmos sprang from a more recent musical friendship, which began when Jefferson Friedman created the string arrangements for the duo's 2006 album, The Rose Has Teeth in the Mouth of a Beast (Matador). For Friedman's album, Matmos responded in kind and contributed two remixes which sample the Chiara's recordings of String Quartets Nos. 2 and 3. Matmos Remix No. 1 (A Bruit Secret Mix) is an addictive dance track, while Matmos Remix No. 2 (Floor Plan Mix) is an enigmatic and haunting three-dimensional exploration of sound.
The album also features cover art by artist Anthony Hawley, husband of Chiara first violinist Fischer. "It's a very friends and family kind of record," said Chiara violist Jonah Sirota.
American composer Jefferson Friedman was born in 1974 in Swampscott, Massachusetts. His music has been called "impossible to resist" by The New York Times, and his work has been performed throughout the United States and abroad, most notably at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall and Avery Fisher Hall, Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Columbia University's Miller Theatre, the Bowery Ballroom, (Le) Poisson Rouge, and the American Academy in Rome.
In addition to his string quartets, Friedman has been commissioned three times by Leonard Slatkin and the National Symphony Orchestra; his works March, The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations Millennium General Assembly, and Sacred Heart: Explosion were all written for the NSO. The works have subsequently been performed by the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Most recently, Friedman has collaborated with singer-songwriter Craig Wedren (formerly of avant-rock band Shudder To Think) and ACME (American Contemporary Music Ensemble) on a set of songs called On In Love, which explores song archetypes and marries contemporary classical and rock sensibilities. On In Love has been performed at Miller Theatre, (Le) Poisson Rouge, the Bowery Ballroom, Galapagos Art Space, Joe's Pub, and on the Ecstatic Music Festival at Merkin Concert Hall.
Friedman's honors and awards include the Rome Prize Fellowship in Musical Composition, the ASCAP Leo Kaplan Award, the BMI Student Composer Award, the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award, the Palmer-Dixon Prize, and the top prize in the Juilliard Orchestra Competition. He received his M.M. degree in music composition from The Juilliard School, where he studied with John Corigliano, and his B.A. from Columbia University, where his teachers included David Rakowski and Jonathan Kramer. His has also studied with George Tsontakis and Christopher Rouse.
In addition to his work as a composer, Friedman has performed with a number of rock bands, including Shudder To Think. Friedman lives and composes in Long Island City, NY. With the exception of String Quartet No. 2, his catalog is self-published by Montana 59 Music.
Chiara String Quartet (Rebecca Fischer and Julie Yoon, violins; Jonah Sirota, viola; Gregory Beaver, cello): Renowned for bringing fresh excitement to traditional string quartet repertoire as well as for creating thoroughly insightful interpretations of new music, the Chiara String Quartet captivates and enthralls its audiences throughout the country. During 2011-2012, the Chiara is celebrating twelve seasons of playing together.The Chiara has established itself as among America's most respected ensembles, lauded for its "highly virtuosic, edge-of-the-seat playing" (The Boston Globe).

Jay Leno, one of America's most popular comedians and the longtime former host of "The Tonight Show," will be the final comic mentor of the season as the "Title Round" of "Last Comic Standing" begins Thursday, July 31 (10-11 p.m. ET) on NBC.
Only five comics remain in the competition, and the stakes have never been higher as they move one step closer to winning the coveted title of "Last Comic Standing" and a prize package worth $250,000, including a cash prize, a talent deal and a development deal for a television show.
Host JB Smoove surprises the comics with the news that they'll be taking a flight to a secret destination to meet their last comic mentor of the season. All he reveals is that it is "one of the funniest comedians in the world." After landing in Las Vegas, the comics are delighted when Wanda Sykes introduces them to Jay Leno, a stand-up comedy legend with a storied career who has been making audiences laugh for more than 35 years.
Eager to learn all they can from the man who one comic aptly calls "the hardest working man in stand-up comedy," the final five ask Leno an interesting variety of questions about stand-up comedy. He answers them all, sharing personal stories and great anecdotes about his experience as a comedian while also giving valuable advice to help them further their stand-up careers.
Then it's time for the finalists to perform hilarious, all new sets for judges Roseanne Barr, Keenen Ivory Wayans and Russell Peters, who will determine which four are advancing to the next round, and which comic is headed home. The season eight finale will air Thursday, August 14.
Page Hurwitz and Wanda Sykes, producing partners at Push It Productions, are executive producers along with Javier Winnik. "Last Comic Standing" is produced by Universal Television and Push It Productions.

Top 10 U.S. hotspots for electric vehicles
Quick Take: For most utilities, electric vehicles (EVs) are not a major issue and won't be for years. Yet there are pockets around the nation where EV penetration is beginning to hit numbers that will require the local utility to carefully monitor the situation in case upgrades are needed to handle the additional load. Here are the top 10 hotspots. - By Jesse Berst
ChargePoint, which has the largest electric vehicle (EV) charging station network in the U.S., released a list of the Top 10 metropolitan areas for EVs. After equating for population differences, ChargePoint scored the cities based on the number of EVs owned as well as the number of public charging stations available on the ChargePoint network.
"The cities and the businesses in those communities that invest in EV infrastructure, not surprisingly, also see the largest sales in electric vehicles," said Pasquale Romano, CEO of ChargePoint. "We are no longer debating if EVs have a future, but instead are witnessing cities across America compete to be the most EV friendly."

1882 Twenty, Sharply Defined AU Details Coin1882 $20 -- Rim Damage -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. Other than the 1861 Paquet, the 1882 twenty is the lowest circulation-strike double eagle. Only 571 pieces were struck and few were saved. The PCGS website suggests 25 to 35 examples known. While the present AU Details specimen is not included in the population report, which lists just 18 coins, eight in AU grades and three in Mint State, one can get a general idea of approximately where this particular piece might fit in the grading continuum.

The bright yellow-gold surfaces exhibit sharply struck design elements, including boldness in the star radials and Liberty's hair strands. Numerous light marks appear under magnification, and occasional fine file marks are visible on the rims. Nevertheless, these are not all that bad, and should not intimidate the prospective bidder. Examples of this rare issue surface very infrequently.

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice may not understand some of the charges that she is facing, but it sounds like her husband may have been behind putting her signature on important loan documents. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Dec. 3, "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice is now distancing herself from her husband so she can get a lighter treatment.
"Teresa has stuck by Joe all along, but this is the best chance they have at a fair trial. Some of the charges are against [Joe and Teresa], and some just include Joe and his business partner," a source has revealed. In addition, Teresa recently hired a crisis manager to prepare for her trial, but the manager is only working for her.
Wendy Feldman is the crisis manager that Teresa hired. "I am acting as the legal coach and crisis manager only for Teresa Giudice," Feldman has revealed to Us Weekly. And it sounds like she doesn't want to deal with the issues her husband is facing. "She has four kids, and she feels like no judge would take a mother away from her children… At this point, their legal separation is just another attempt to avoid prison time. They feel like it's the right decision for them both," a source has revealed.
What do you think of Teresa distancing herself from Joe?

By Billy CorriherThere are 115,076 people registered to vote in Clayton County, but it's not too late for you to be one of them. Today is the last day to register to vote in the March 2 presidential primary/special election. The ballot will feature nominees for the Republican and Democratic presidential ticket and a referendum on the Georgia state flag. Any registered voters can vote for the Republican or Democratic candidates. The controversial vote on the state flag will ask voters to choose between two flags. One is the flag approved by the state legislature at its last session and the other was approved by former Gov. Roy Barnes that featured all the state's previous flags along the bottom, including the discarded flag bearing the Confederate battle emblem. Clayton County voters can register to vote at any county library, any city hall or while renewing their driver's license at the DMV. Information on registering online can be found at http://www.sos.state.ga.us/elections/applications.htm.

Jordan Theodore scored a career-high 29 points to lead Seton Hall to the signature win it needed for its NCAA tournament resume, a 73-55 victory over No. 9 Georgetown on Tuesday night. The Pirates (19-9, 8-8 Big East) put on quite a shooting performance against one of the conference's best defensive teams. They shot 61.0 percent (25 for 41), the best against the Hoyas this season and only the third time any team shot 50 percent or better. Georgetown (20-6, 10-5) came in allowing 38.4 percent shooting this season. Theodore made all five of his 3-point attempts to lead Seton Hall, which finished 8 of 13 (61.5 percent), and that came against a team that was allowing 27.6 percent from beyond the arc this season.

Kenya 1 month on: Looting dampens mall memorialBy JASON STRAZIUSO
The Associated Press | October 22,2013AP PHOTO
Relatives of those who died lay white roses and pray at a stone memorial, during a memorial service marking the one-month anniversary of the Sept. 21 Westgate Mall terrorist attack, in Karura Forest in Nairobi, Kenya on Monday.NAIROBI, Kenya Mourners from various races and religions Christians, Muslims and Hindus among them grabbed handfuls of dirt and planted saplings at a memorial ceremony Monday for the nearly 70 people killed at Nairobis Westgate Mall exactly one month ago.
By design, no major political or religious leaders were invited, giving the crowd of 400 or so a family-only feel. But the actions of Kenyas security forces weighed on family members who quietly seethed over allegations and newly released video images of Kenyan Defense Forces KDF soldiers looting the mall.
Despite those lingering images, the organizers tried to foster a We Are One feeling a chant repeated by the crowd in the wake of an attack that saw al-Qaida-linked terrorists spare some Muslims who could recall religious phrases, leaving behind non-Muslims to be killed.
Today we dont come so much to mourn the departed but to remind ourselves we built a nation that all can live in, young and old, white and black, Christian and Muslim, Hindu and Jain, said Karanja Njoroge, chairman of the Friends of Karura Forest, a sprawling urban park filled with hiking and biking trails where the memorial and tree-planting was held.
Prayers were offered to both Jesus and Allah. Mourners removed their shoes for a Sikh prayer. A squeaky junior high band from Kenyas Indian community played, while a red-clad choir of black youngsters sang in Swahili, the national language meant to bind Kenyas 40-odd tribes. Mourners crowded a narrow path running through the forest.
Vaishal Shah, whose friend was killed at the mall during a cooking competition for kids, said the wider Nairobi community needs to come together, and not just the 70 or so families who lost loved ones.
The whole KDF thing is messing people up, said Shah, who noted that he was in Boston during the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, a period in which he said he had never seen a country come together so quickly. When families hear this looting is going on even as family members are dying, its hard to come together when that is happening.
Charles Njenga planted a tree for his slain 22-year-old son. Njenga was at Westgate with his three children only minutes before the gunmen began spraying bullets indiscriminately. He said he is angered by the security camera footage that surfaced over the weekend showing soldiers with full shopping bags in their hands.
They were supposed to come and save us, not to come and loot. Why go in without anything and come out with bags? Njenga said.
The Kenyan government on Sunday said it believes it has recovered the remains of the four gunmen seen in CCTV footage carrying out the attack. So far, one gunman has been identified: Hassan Abdi Dhuhulow, a Somali-Norwegian.
Joseph Ole Lenku, Cabinet secretary for interior, has also said that an investigation is under way concerning the allegations of looting by Kenyan troops. No results of that investigation have yet been announced.
Wendy Zhang whose sister-in-law was shot in the arm and later died is confused as to why her sister-in-law died from a single bullet wound to the arm. She is also angered by the looting.
This looting is really unbelievable, she said. There is a disaster and they still think they can get something from there.
Those complaints, not part of the official program, lay under the surface of the sad and somber ceremony. Njoroge, the main organizer, knows the pain and anger the families feel; his nephew died in the attack. After the new trees were planted, he asked mourning families to take in the beauty of the forest. In an interview, he said the country must remain one.
We werent coming here to let out our steam against KDF, he said. We were here to remember this attack was an attack on the Kenyan nation. Our enemy is not KDF. It is the people who attacked us.MORE IN Wire NewsDALLAS Wanda Mobley swerved to avoid something in the remote highway, and seconds later was...

Lockheed Martin's advanced development programs division — aka Skunk Works — has chosen AUVSI to lift the curtain on two previously internal concepts for new unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The multi-purpose long-endurance (MPLE=pronounced "maple") was identified on this blog on Monday, but only by acronym. The artist's concept of the twin-boomed UAV with a high-aspect ratio wing hinted at the aircraft's mission, which Lockheed has now confirmed.
MPLE will challenge the Aurora Flight Sciences' Orion vehicle for a new Air Force Research Laboratory contract to demonstrate a medium-altitude surveillance aircraft that can remain airborne for five days, says Bob Ruszkowski, a Skunk Works systems engineer. Ruszkowski declined to clarify MPLE's propulsion system, although he ruled out a hydrogen-fueled aircraft. MPLE is actually a scaled-down version of a much larger concept design developed by Skunk Works, he adds.
Meanwhile, Skunk Works also described its approach to the US Navy's new requirement for an unmanned, carrier-launched, airborne surveillance and strike (UCLASS) system. A request for information issued by the navy in May called for concepts that were "heavy on the surveillance mission, and light on the strike", Ruszkowski says. Lockheed is waiting for the navy to release a draft request for proposals in October to further clarify the requirements.
Ruszkowski says Skunk Works will leverage technology developed for the RQ-170 Sentinel and the F-35C carrier variant for the UCLASS mission. To illustrate the company's long interest in carrier-based UAVs, Skunk Works unveiled a new photo of a nearly forgotten UAV concept called the multi-role endurance (MRE) UAV (shown above). Flightglobal published a story about the MRE program 10 years ago, using a completely different image for the Lockheed concept.
Lockheed's MRE concept would have been able to lift a 2,000lb sensor or weapon payload and remain airborne for 12 to 14h, Ruszkowski says.

bike that will "do it all" - (in my case) a retro-styled, EFI, disc-braked, liquid-cooled, bench-seated scooter - well-sprung, rack-equipped, with great back support, relaxed riding position, highway-pegged, accomodating change of leg/body position, stable and gust-resistant at high speeds, perfect for slow threading and flicking through traffic in town traffic, under three hundred pounds. With fantastic mileage. and hydraulic valves.
In short, the perfect scoot - for me - would violate inviolable principle of engineering, physics, and manufacturing/market economics.
The closest I ever came was a Honda PS250 Big Ruckus, but only once it was amped with a JCosta variator, upjet, and JDM scoops for extra airflow at high speeds. I will not quote what it could do on the slab - people scoff and bad feelings ensue - but it would perform that way all day long for days on end. The down side was that it was way, way too muscular for the brakes. I didn't mind that it looked like a water heater laid on side.
Some current maxis approach my list of ideal attrubutes...but they all look like the great ocean-going mammals, and I hate that look. Retro-styled maxis - the larger BVs - in urban traffic cannot get out of their own way, are stodgy at low speeds and unhandy at traffic manuvers. The Vespa GTS 300ie Super... I had a 250 - those scoots hate passengers, the seats are intolerable, and no Italian bike can hope to have the box-o-rocks reliability of the Japanese/Taiwanese marques, nor the parts/infrastructure support. It means something that Honda is killing Vespa market share - in Italy.
We all seem to want bikes that combine things in a way that can't be had - wherefore apples-oranges-bananas, pears...

While Congress mulls over dozens of competing proposals to reign in the NSA's domestic dragnet spying activities, the agency continues to run circles around Congress and the courts, while continuing to co-opt the Obama White House.
At a time like this, it may help to rememeber some of the pithy reflections on NSA spying that comedians have shared, like:
- "Germany is mad at the United States for the NSA eavesdropping. This, ladies and gentlemen, from the country that gave us the Gestapo." –David Letterman
- "Due to the government spy scandal, sales of the classic George Orwell book '1984' have skyrocketed. So the fallout is worse than we thought. It's making Americans read." –Conan O'Brien
- "President Obama said he welcomes a national debate over our surveillance policies. He said that's a debate we wouldn't have had five years ago. Five years ago? It's a debate we wouldn't have had two weeks ago if they all hadn't gotten caught." –Jay Leno
- "Mr. President, no one is saying you broke any laws. We're just saying it's a little bit weird you didn't have to." –The Daily Show's John Oliver
If these jokes don't prompt a laugh at your next cocktail party, consider focusing your friends on the laughable job that Congress has done in overseeing domestic spying over the past decade. Unfortunately, there seem to be no shortage of clowns involved in this ongoing sordid enterprise.

You need a list of ALL MODULES you will complete as part of this qualification, including the Module title and code (ask your lecturers for this information). • Your SQA certificates detailing your qualifications gained to date and your SQA candidate number. • The Core Skills profile from your SQA certificate. Step 1: Click 'add new school/college' You must input each College or School you have attended. Your first entry will be Forth Valley College, then input any other schools/colleges. You must enter the exam centre number of each school or college. This can be found using the search facility. If your school or college does not appear using the search facility, manually enter the name and leave the centre number blank. When you are asked to state if you received any formal qualifications at this school, you should say yes (even if you have not yet finished your qualifications). Keep clicking 'add new school/college' until you have added all your schools/ colleges. 10 Step 2: Click 'add qualifications' The list of qualifications that appears are Scottish qualifications. If you have qualifications not in this list, please click the link for other qualifications at the bottom of the page. • Your SQA certificate has headings for different types of qualifications, for example Highers, Intermediate 1, Standard Grades, National Certificate Modules. Use these headings to guide you when inputting. Click save at the bottom of the page when you have finished inputting a qualification. • The universities need to see ALL the qualifications you have AND what you are studying for right now. Start with your current courses. For example if you are studying towards an HNC/D this year, input this with a date of June 2010. Leave the result blank as the qualification is incomplete at this stage (see example below). • Remember for HNC/D all modules must be input, even if you have not completed these yet. For an HND you need to input all the modules you passed in Year 1 (2008-09) and all the modules you will take in Year 2 (i.e. 2009-10). Keep clicking 'add another module' until you have input all modules that make up your HNC/D (see example below). 11 • If you sat Highers between 1995 and 2000, you may have a combination of Highers (start with a C on your cert.) and SCE Highers (4 numbers on your cert.). Make sure you input the correct qualification. • Do not forget to input your Core Skills Profile. Step 3: Candidate number Once you have input and saved all your qualifications, you should input a candidate number at the bottom of the page. If you have input Scottish qualifications, you should input your Candidate Number for Scottish Qualifications. You will find this 9 digit individual number on your SQA certificate. Tick the section completed box. Hit save. 12 Section 5: Employment details You can add details of up to 5 employers in this section. Click 'add an employer' Input details as per the screen. Tick the save button after each employment you input. • Although you may not think your current employment is relevant to your future career, remember that all employment can be used to demonstrate transferable skills when writing your personal statement, e.g. communication, organisational and team work. • If you have a long or varied employment history, try to cover the last 5 years. • Make sure you include any employment that can be related to your planned degree. 13 Section 6: UCAS Personal Statement Before you start The UCAS application personal statement section does not spell check your statement. It is easiest to prepare it in MS Word and copy and paste it into the application form. There is a limit of 4000 characters (including spaces) and 47 lines. You can check this on MS Word by clicking tools and word count. Your personal statement is a very important element of your application and can make the difference between gaining a university place or not. We recommend you spend a minimum of 4 hours on this. Your statement is individual to you and should demonstrate your suitability for your chosen course/s. This is your opportunity to provide relevant additional information to support your application. Make sure you use this to sell yourself. If you are applying for more than one course do not make reference to particular courses as this may jeopardise your chances of successfully gaining a place at your other choices. The main elements of a good personal statement are as follows: • Reasons for choice of course • Background to your interest in this subject • Relevant employment, work experience and/or placements • Key skills • Achievements • Particular interest in your current area of study • Career aspirations • Industrial/professional placements and sponsorships • Social/sporting hobbies, interest or pastimes Other Tips Ask friends, family and college lecturers to look over your statement, as they will be able to provide additional ideas. It is useful to have a look at examples of UCAS personal statements.

More than one in five Scots who say they plan to vote have yet to decide which way, the TNS survey found.
Pressed on which side would likely win their support almost a fifth, 19%, said Yes, while 15% said No.
Two-thirds, however, still insisted they could not decide.
A separate poll of 1090 adults also showed increasing support in England and Wales for Scotland to remain part of the UK, following a concerted campaign by the UK Government to "lovebomb" the Scots. It showed 61% believe Scotland should not be a separate country, up eight percentage points since August.
Overall, however, the TNS poll of 1011 Scots aged 16 and over found voting intentions unchanged from the previous month, with support for No at 42%, for Yes at 30% and undecided 28%.
But among those certain to vote support for independence dipped slightly, by one percentage point to 34%, with more people becoming undecided and support for the Union unchanged at 44%.
Better Together downplayed the significance of more "don't knows" choosing Yes than No, pointing to the small sample size.
The No camp also said the SNP's "claims of momentum are difficult to take seriously" with polling numbers unchanged.
But Yes Scotland hailed the finding that undecided voters were more likely to back them.
At the weekend Yes Scotland claimed "don't knows" were moving to Yes at a rate of seven voters for every three who backed No.
Both sides welcomed the results of the poll, which was carried out before the recent row over whether Scots would be £1000 better off or £1400 worse off following independence.
Blair Jenkins, Yes Scotland's chief executive, said: "This is a very welcome poll - of those certain to vote, excluding undecideds, Yes now sits at 44%, which is eight points up on last autumn, and within reach of the winning post in September."
Better Together campaign director Blair McDougall said: "It is encouraging that yet another poll shows the campaign to keep Scotland in the UK with a strong lead."
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Angela Merkel refused to get involved in the debate yesterday. At a press conference with David Cameron in Sweden, she dodged a question on whether or not an independent Scotland would be part of the European Union. She said she did not answer hypothetical questions.

It's already been a crazy week around here, which means it's the perfect time to take a break with a few jokes. And they're all clean! Hope you enjoy:
#1 – Did you hear about the new Obama Diet? You let Putin eat your lunch every day.
#2 – How does Obama win the war on terror? He renames it! Its now the overseas contingency operation.
#3 – Did you hear about the reporter who asked Obama a hard question? Neither have we!
#4 – How many democrats does it take to change a light bulb? 5! Al Gore to insure it's a CFL, an EPA agent in case the bulb breaks and a mercury cleanup is necessary, a person to bail out the home owner, an ACORN member to ensure that the right person changed the bulb, and a member of the media to celebrate the change.
#5 – Why can't Obama dance? Cause he has two leftist feet.
#6 – Some Republicans are saying that due to his current scandals, President Obama should be impeached. In response, Obama laughed and said, 'Two words fellas: President Biden.'
#7 – Why won't Obama have a turkey for Thanksgiving? Because Vice President Biden will be out of town.
#8 – Democrats and liberals always say they are smarter than conservatives. If that is true, then why do Democrats always have problems filling out a ballot?
#9 – Majority Leader Harry Reid is considering a plan for higher payroll taxes on upper-income earners to help finance health care legislation. So apparently, healthcare willl be paid for by the New York Yankees.
#10 – What do Obama and financial scam artists have in common? They both say "yes we can," they both give hope, they both take your money, and they both will leave you penniless in the end.
#11 – Speaker Nancy Pelosi is in Shanghai to debate climate change with Chinese government officials. I think she'll do fine. These negotiations always come down to whoever blinks first.
#12 – How many Democrats does it take to change a light bulb? It's irrelevant; they still don't know they're in the dark!
#13 – They say that Christopher Columbus was the first Democrat. When he left to discover America, he didn't know where he was going. When he got there he didn't know where he was. And it was all done on a government grant.
#14 – What do you get when you offer a liberal a penny for his thoughts? Change.
#15 – What's the difference between Bill Clinton and government bonds? Government bonds will mature someday.
#16 – What do you call a basement full of liberals? A whine cellar.
#17 – Nancy Pelosi has now been elected the new House minority leader. She was smiling from ear to ear, which is pretty impressive considering how far her ears have been pulled back.
#18 – Joe Biden accidentally revealed the location of the Vice President's top secret bunker. The guy can't help it. But he did apologize. He said, "I am so sorry for the mistake. The launch code is 85334. It will never happen again. It will never happen again. My Gmail password is robot23. What am I doing? The house key is under the plant near the doorstep."
#19 – What kind of doctor do you need to fix Obamacare? A URLologist.
#20 – What's Obama's new slogan in these tough times? Spare Change You Can Believe In!
#21 – Today is #CyberMonday, the day you can buy anything online. And by "anything," I mean anything but health insurance.

Annie Lockwood is testing Time. She's traveled through it before, but always at Time's bidding. Now she is asking Time to take her to the year 1899, when Strat is in Cairo. But Time doesn't like to be tested. In what feels like a cruel joke, Annie is transported to ancient Egypt, thousands of years before Strat was born — to a world far removed from the one she knows. Meanwhile, in 1899, Strat is photographing the same pyramids that Annie walks among. But while Strat eagerly awaits Annie's arrival, another visitor arrives: his father, Hiram Stratton, Sr., has come to Egypt to collect his son. Powerless, Annie and Strat both look to Time. Can its force, which brought them together once, help them find each other again?From the Hardcover edition.
