Rick Martin, the planner for the City of Georgetown, is optimistic about what he sees happening in his office.
On the wall is a board that, for the first time in years, is full of building activity that has started or will soon take place.
That, he says, means more jobs, more choices for residents and visitors and more revenue for the city.
We have issued more than $7 million in permits so far this year, Martin said. Things are looking up.
The biggest permits have been issued to Georgetown Hospital System for the first phases of a $22 million renovation project.
Martin said the hospital currently has two permits. One is for a second-floor nursing unit renovation.
The other is to re-skin the exterior of the Black River Road facility.
He said the hospital plans to renovate the entire outer area of the building and he expects to issue two additional permits later this year.
The work will also include relocating the hospitals main entrance from Black River Road to Memorial Lane.
The first floor mall area also will be reoriented, providing a new traffic flow pattern which will improve patient access and convenience for outpatient services.
Care Pharmacy to move
Because of the expansions of the hospital, Care Pharmacy, located at 1111 Black River Road, will be relocating next to Grimes Century 21 near the intersection of U.S. Highway 701 and Black River Road.
A storage unit facility currently on the property will be removed, Martin said, adding the new store will be a two-story structure with the pharmacy downstairs and a doctors office upstairs.
Another health facility relocating
The St. James-Santee Family Health Center at 2020 Highmarket Street outgrew its facility not long after it opened in 2007, said CEO Sandra Gilliard.
So, the center has purchased the empty building between Tonys Famous Pizza and the Georgetown County Sheriffs Office and plans to relocate this summer.
Gilliard said the move will mean more services can be offered because the new building is more than twice the size of the Highmarket Street location.
She said the work on the building is already underway and she expects the new facility to be open in early July.
Other projects
Martin said there are several other projects taking place that have received permits recently. They include:
Renovations to the exterior and kitchen of Burger King.
The Georgetown Housing Authority continues the renovations at the apartments on Merriman Road and North Street.
Carolina Title Loans will locate in what was once the Anchor Bank at 1187 North Fraser Street in front of Freds Department Store.
We have gone through some tough times but, with just four of us in this department, I think we are doing good, Martin said.
He said his co-workers Debra Grant, Janet Grant and Matthew Millwood have been working hard and he expects to make more positive economic announcements in the near future.

Christiane Lemieux: There are so many great things about Canadian style. I think it's this subtle mix of North American and European influences that result in a sophisticated, clean chic. Lately I have been loving what Smythe is doing in clothing. I think it's subtle and wonderfully Canadian. At the other end of the spectrum — I love what The Bay is doing. They are making Canadian heritage into a globally sought-after style.
H&H: What's the best part about running DwellStudio?
CL: The best part of running DwellStudio is the people. We are like a design-obsessed family.
H&H: What's your current source of creative inspiration?
CL: Travel. I can't get enough. We are all seeing the same things online. I love to get out and see it firsthand. I just got back from Morocco with a full sketchbook. It's the best form of inspiration.
H&H: What's one easy design resolution people can make for 2013?
CL: Get rid of stuff. Clutter will never look good. Take things away and put your space back together. You will be amazed at the results.
H&H: What advice would you give to readers who want to "live a life of adventure," like you?
CL: I think it all comes down to experience. You can live a life of adventure and never leave your hometown. It's about being committed to trying something new every day. That is what I strive to do; experience new things all the time.

HCC MEN, WOMEN 6TH AT REGION VI CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPSOctober 27, 2012
HCC Sports Information
OVERLAND PARK – Both Hutchinson Community College cross country teams placed sixth on Saturday at the Region VI Cross Country Championships at Johnson County Community College.
The Lady Dragons, ranked 21st in the final NJCAA Division I Women's Poll, placed second in the Jayhawk West team standings behind Colby. The HCC men took third in the conference.
"The girls were a little disappointed, but all in all, everybody ran really hard and really well today," first-year head coach Rod Zook said.
The Blue Dragons had three runners finish as both All-Region VI and All-Jayhawk West runners.
On the men's side, freshman Orbelin Rojas placed ninth overall in a time of 25 minutes, 57 seconds to capture all-region and all-conference honors.
Freshmen Ashlynn Lambert and Cecilia Lane once again led the Lady Dragons and both earned all-region and all-conference honors. Lambert finished 12th overall with a time of 19:52, the second time she has broke 20 minutes this season. Lane ran 20 minutes flat and finished 15th overall.
Sophomore Isaac Williams ran a personal-best time on Saturday and finished in the team's top two for the first time this season. The sophomore from Pretty Prairie finished 20th overall with a PR time of 26:22 over the 8K course.
John Murphy III placed 23rd overall in 26:31. Helam Hernandez placed 89th with a time of 29:53. Jesse Lyle was 95th 30:22. Mario Perez placed 103rd in a time of 31:11.

Bengal kaliji (spelling almost certainly way off)?
So, here I am, with a pulled back muscle, confined to quarters (and mostly to bed), reflecting on meals past. There was once an Indian restaurant in the East Village called Shopna, that served an amazing chicken liver appetizer called Bengal kaliji? Kallegee? I'd love to make it for an upcoming party...anyone got a clue? Can't find anything even close online.

A group $G$ is called solvable if it has a subnormal series with abelian factors; that is, there are groups
$$\{1\} = G_0 \le G_1 \le G_2 \le \dots \le G_n = G$$
such that $G_i$ is normal in $G_{i + 1}$ and the factor group $G_{i + 1} / G_i$ is abelian for each $i$.
Solvable groups arise naturally in Galois theory, as a polynomial equation is solvable by radicals if and only if its Galois group is solvable.

"They told us that we were trespassing and to get off their property," said Robert Whalen, president of Utility Workers Union of America, Local 102.
Penelec, which is owned by FirstEnergy, says they offered union members a final contract offer on November 6. They say the union failed to respond by the November 24 deadline, putting the lock out in place.
"Essentially they're not allowed to work right now," said Penelec Representative Scott Surgeoner. "The contract has expired. We're not allowing them to work."
At the center of the dispute lies the issue of pensions and retiree benefits, which will expire at the end of 2014.
Whalen says one of the reasons why they oppose the new contract is because it does not provide enough information about how the pension system would work. He says the lack of a detailed pension plan could potentially allow Penelec to abuse the system after they have already signed.
FirstEnergy says they have been telling employees since 2009 that retiree health care contributions would no longer be offered after they expire. But that is just another reason why the union is against the new contract.
"I have a disabled son at home who depends on 24/7 coverage, two women have to come and take care of him. Health care is a very important issue," said Penelec employee Mutro Mazarak. "We give our hearts and our souls to our company and our communities and we're being treated unfairly"
Employees say they want to go back to work. However, Penelec says the union gave them no other option but to put the lock out in place.
The company has brought in contractors and put supervisors in the field to fill in the gaps, but union members say it won't be the same without them.
"There's no way this group of skeleton workers in this building is equipped to handle a storm, and get the lights back on anywhere near as quickly as what we can," said Whalen.
Penelec says some meter readings will have to be based on estimates for now because of the lock out. Other than that, they say customers should not notice a difference.

Project Unite enters 17th year with record numbers and lasting impact
August 12, 2010 - Grand Rapids, Michigan (August 12, 2010) – As a Catholic College in the Dominican tradition, Aquinas College values prayer, study, community, and service. For 17 years, new students at AQ serve the Grand Rapids area through hours of community service as a part of their orientation program. Project Unite 2010 is scheduled for August 20 from 2 to 4 p.m. in various locations in the Eastown and Fulton Heights neighborhoods. A kick-off to the project is scheduled at 1:45 p.m. at the Aquinas College Athletic Field with a special message from AQ alumna Sarah Mieras '97 of Opera Grand Rapids."Project Unite is a way to illustrate to our students that living our values is an expectation at Aquinas College, " said Heather Bloom Hall, Director of Student Activities & Orientation, "It's a way for students to learn about the surrounding community and to see the many ways to serve others both at Project Unite and throughout their years on campus."With over 13 local sites, including Kids Food Basket, ArtPrize, the Eastown Community Association, Clark Retirement Home, and many more, the first year students along with faculty, staff and administration provide two hours of service and offer support to an array of activities. Students may assist with various outdoor projects like weeding, planting flowers or assisting with a community clean-up in Wilcox Park to spending time playing Bingo with elderly or offering hands to teachers in various local schools who are preparing their classrooms for the upcoming year. On-campus projects are even planned in order for students to interact with the staff that will help them along their journey to graduation.Orientation programs are committed to offering common experiences to students who join a campus from diverse backgrounds all over the world. Aquinas College accomplishes this through initiatives such as the Common Reading Experience and programs like Project Unite. Through the charism of Service, Aquinas students are challenged to shape their personal growth and broaden their notion of social responsibility. "Project Unite includes reflection to enable students to learn from the community and from each other. It encourages students to get to know who they are, what abilities they have, and how they can work together with others for the common good," said Eric Bridge, Coordinator of Service-Learning. Sara Emerick '10 said, "One of the best events during my freshman orientation was, by far, participating in Project Unite. It was the perfect time to see all the principles Aquinas was built upon such as service and community. Seeing everyone working together to achieve an overall goal was inspiring. It was a great start to my wonderful career at Aquinas!""A sense of belonging is a basic need in any community and we hope to give our newest members a sense of belonging not only to Aquinas but also to Grand Rapids, Michigan," said Veronica Beitner, Manager of Health & Wellness Initiatives and member of the Project Unite planning committee.

(WDIV) As mothers to three beautiful adopted children, April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse view themselves as an average family, but they say the law says otherwise.
They filed a lawsuit last year challenging Michigan's voter-approved ban on gay marriage.
"It's about legal rights that every heterosexual couple has," said DeBoer.
A U.S. district judge could issue a ruling Wednesday in their case on whether the state's ban violates the U.S. Constitution.
Should the judge lift the ban and decline to issue a stay while it's being appealed, same-sex marriage would be legal in Michigan until a higher court overturns it. That could be for a matter of days or perhaps just hours.

(UM11-12) - The Influence of Public Policy on Health, Wealth and Mortality
John Karl Scholz and Ananth Seshadri
Our proposed work has two primary goals. Our first goal is to model the effect that income has on health, health has on income, and the latent productivity in health capital production. Our second contribution will be to use the new model to explore the effects of Social Security and other federal social insurance and transfer programs on health and wealth over the life cycle. Since the model determines life expectancy, it is well-suited for analyzing the impact of policies, such as changes to Social Security, on survival probabilities, disability, wealth, and broader measures of health and well-being.

CHURUBUSCO ŌĆö ŌĆ£The main goal will be business as usual,ŌĆØ said Paul Sade.
ThatŌĆÖs the philosophy the Churubusco High School football team seems to be utilizing as it replaces former head coach Lee Etzler, who resigned Dec. 21, 2012.
Monday, it was announced Sade, the EaglesŌĆÖ previous offensive line coach, will assume head coaching duties for the 2013 football season.
Sade was formally approved for hire as head football coach at the regular meeting of the Smith-Green Community Schools Board of School Trustees.
ŌĆ£The thing we like about it is weŌĆÖre keeping the entire staff intact,ŌĆØ said Churubusco Junior-Senior High School Principal Jim Folland. ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖve been successful for eight-plus years. TheyŌĆÖve earned the right to stay together.ŌĆØ
According to Folland, hiring from within means the players donŌĆÖt have to learn a new system.
Sade has coached the offensive line at ŌĆśBusco for the past five seasons.
During his tenure on the coaching staff, the Eagles have gone 50-9, including a 9-5 playoff record, two sectional championship appearances, one sectional title and a regional title.
Careful consideration and discussion with the other ŌĆśBusco coaches went into SadeŌĆÖs decision to apply for the head coaching job.
Sade will rely on much of the same coaching staff that brought the Eagles so much success in the last decade.
As for where the football team goes from here, Sade said itŌĆÖs time to start working again.

The Slough (Lake Law)
The slough is a pretty place to go and see, if you like that kind of thing. The slough was a mud-filled bog in the old days before Fermilab was built. Now it's a modern wetlands developed by Fermilab called Lake Law.
The original slough was southeast of the present lake and behind the current farm equipment exhibit. It didn't used to come near the road, but now the slough is way up near the sides of the street. The plan was to develop a new wetlands area to encourage wildlife and store rainwater runoff.
There is a lot of wildlife in the slough now, as there always has been from when the slough was "young." There are plants such as cattails, lily pads, and algae, plus wildlife like small fish, snakes, and frogs. Some other animals that live there are raccoons, opossums, birds, and ground squirrels.
One of the best things about the slough is that it is not at all polluted. It's a healthy lake. When the sun shines on it the right way, the slough is bright blue and it glints off the sun. It looks beautiful in the sunset, too.

It looks like hikers will need to be a little more proactive when it comes to scaling Yosemite's iconic natural monument known as Half Dome. Starting in the 2010 hiking season, Yosemite will begin issuing permits to make the climb, limiting the number of persons to 400 per day.
For now, the permits will only be utilized on the weekends (Fri-Sun) and holidays, and will, consequently, result in hundreds of hikers being turned away. The permits are free, though there is a $1.50 fee to reserve a permit, up to four per party. There are currently no limits on the number of hikers visiting during the week (Mon-Thur).

UK Online Roulette Wins
Whether it is your first time playing in an online casino or whether you are a seasoned gambler, everyone enjoys scoring those big wins. Now although it may lack the sense of competition inherent in poker games, everyone agrees that roulette is the way to go if you are truly a thrill seeking gambler. Nothing can beat the way the wheel slowly comes to a stop and the way your adrenalin builds up as you realize it may land on your number. There is no better way to win then picking the number that ends up returning to you thirty five times the amount you started with. Roulette is clearly the most adrenalin pumped game available in any casino, whether online or land based.
Now it is fairly simple to walk into a casino and place your life savings on your lucky number and watch the wheel spin. Naturally it will draw to a stop on your bet and payout thirty five times the amount of your hard earned savings. However, realistically you will watch the wheel spin and rob you of every penny you ever worked for. Getting those big wins in roulette is not as easy as the movies make it out to be. Yes, everyone has heard the urban legend of the homeless guy who bet it all on lucky number seven and became a millionaire. Reality check- it never happened! If you want to really win you need to first understand what you are up against.
The house always has the edge against the gamblers. This is an accepted fact that you must learn to cope with. Clearly the house would not want to lose money so they stack the odds in their favor to make a profit. Therefore in order to win in roulette you need to know how to overcome that edge.
The first step is to only play roulette where the edge is close to insignificant. American roulette tables are greatly stacked in the house's favor so it is far more advantageous to play on a UK table. For those American players who cannot stand being taken advantage of, their best option is to play online roulette. The online version, assuming it is in a credited online casino, is just as fair as a real roulette wheel (and just as random) and offers all forms of play. Therefore wherever you are you can still play roulette on a UK wheel so long as it is done online.
After this the only way you can gain an edge over the house is by paying close attention to each spin. Use any statistic available to your advantage and bet big when your win should fall out. An educated bet will always have a superior success rate than an idiot who bets his life savings on luck number seven. Only using these tactics can you hope to walk away from the roulette wheel with significant winnings.

Pacquiao Dedicates Boxing Win To Typhoon Survivors
By editor
Originally published on Mon November 25, 2013 12:11 pm
Good morning. I'm David Greene. In Tacloban, a city in the Philippines nearly wiped away by the typhoon this month, survivors gathered yesterday to cheer on a hero. A TV screen was set up in a plaza showing Filipino boxing star Manny Pacquiao defeat American Brandon Rios. Pacquiao dedicated his win to those recovering from the storm.
One person in the square said I was so happy I wanted to cry. Another held a cardboard said that said: We're for Pacquiao. God bless, Tacloban will rise again. It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Latest news, analysis and links on UW football, basketball and other sports
Where's the beef? Not on Frederick's play this year
Los Angeles – Wisconsin's players are scheduled to dine at Lawry's Beef Bowl after practice on Friday.
Redshirt junior center Travis Frederick is UW's team champ, having devoured seven prime rib dinners two years ago and eight last year.
Frederick said this week he is cutting back this time.
"This year, it's all about the game," he said. "I do plan on going out there and enjoying a few steaks. They're the most delicious steaks that I've ever had. But probably not eight this year."
That is fine with defensive tackle Ethan Hemer.
"We all know Travis can eat a full cow if he wanted to and no one can match that."
Hemer doesn't plan to try.
"The strategy is I'm going to eat until I'm full," he said. "Then I'm going to stop and I'm not going to try for any record."

Alaska to restrict Medicaid funding of abortion
January 10th, 2014
Categories: abortion restrictions, Medicaid, unfair laws
In a move sure to have devastating effects on low-income Alaska residents, the state is set to begin restricting Medicaid coverage of abortion as of February 2. Currently, only 15 states cover abortion with state Medicaid funding; if these restrictions go into effect as expected, that number will drop to 14.
Alaska is a state twice the size of Texas and only has 8 abortion providers. Simply getting an appointment can be a logistical puzzle that results in expensive delays for treatment, and with so few providers covering such a vast area, women often need to book a flight to get an abortion, increasing their costs.
Eliminating coverage for abortion will further reduce access for women who are already struggling to make ends meet.

About a year ago, Rand Paul made what may qualify as the prospective presidential candidate's most defensive comment on his political ideology. "I'm not advocating everyone go out and run around with no clothes on and smoke pot," Paul said according the Washington Post. "I'm not a libertarian. I'm a libertarian Republican. I'm a constitutional conservative."
The comment was made in the context of Paul's efforts to court evangelicals, but revealed a challenge posed by the "libertarian" label. Much of what is said about libertarians in the media is absurdly unfair. Like any political movement, there is a diverse range of opinion about what constitutes libertarianism and how libertarians might approach policy. (I don't remember recently reading an editorial in Reason magazine, for example, advocating everyone "run around with no clothes on and smoke pot.")
There is a fascinating debate among libertarians, for example, about abortion and whether the government should enforce the granting of individual rights to a person from the beginning of his life, or whether a person is granted those rights sometime after life begins. Instead of being asked about that, Paul gets told (according to the Post account) by voters that they like much of what he has to say but they hesitate to vote for him because they "don't like legalizing heroin."
But he consciously avoids ditching the label altogether. Just a few weeks ago, he offered a slightly different formulation: he's "libertarian-ish." His libertarian leanings, if that's the right word, are not only genuine but also have their own political advantages. The same day CNN ran Paul's "libertarian-ish" comment, the New York Times ran a prominent story headlined "Rand Paul and Wealthy Libertarians Connect as He Weighs Running." It opened with a well-chosen anecdote:
Frayda Levin, a New Jersey libertarian activist and former small-business owner, is a woman of many passions: promoting liberty, ending marijuana prohibition and opposing her state's recent minimum-wage increase. But Ms. Levin has added another cause as well. At gala benefits for free-market research institutes and at fund-raisers for antitax groups, she has urged like-minded donors to help send Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, to the White House.
"I consider that one of my main goals," said Ms. Levin, who has met with Mr. Paul several times and in February introduced him at a private conference in Florida hosted by the Club for Growth, a conservative advocacy group. "I tell people he's the Republican of the future. He's got both the intellectual heft and the emotional understanding."
A libertarian's declaration that Paul is the "Republican of the future" is not just good for Paul, but arguably has benefits for the GOP as well. After all, popular libertarian candidates who want to run for president tend to leave the GOP and run on their own ticket. This is, electorally speaking, frustrating for Republicans and counterproductive for libertarians. As staunch libertarian Randy Barnett wrote in 2012, "The Libertarian Party's effort will, if effective, attract more libertarian voters away from the candidate who is marginally less hostile to liberty, and help hand the election to the candidate who is more hostile to liberty."
But a libertarian(ish) Republican, if effective, does the opposite: he can galvanize support for libertarian policy objectives without splintering the conservative coalition that remains the only hope of standing athwart the statist project yelling stop. But there's a catch, and here's where libertarians get justifiably put off by the right: the Republican Party wants someone like Paul to be just popular enough. It's up to libertarians to convince the party that he should be the GOP's standard bearer, and it's not an easy sell.
Which raises the question: is it easier to make that sell if Paul embraces his libertarianism or downplays it? That will be one question the 2016 nomination race seeks to answer. It's easy to see both sides of it. It's possible that the GOP just isn't ready to go full libertarian at the presidential level, and therefore downplaying his libertarian label in favor of a more conservative-Republican tag might settle some nerves. Yet it's also possible that by avoiding the term "libertarian" Paul is implicitly reinforcing the idea that libertarianism is an idea whose time has yet to arrive, thus justifying the suspicions of the establishment.
But it's also important to note that whatever Paul chooses to call himself, he has been branded a libertarian and that is how he will be viewed relative to the other candidates. That is, Paul has essentially emerged as the candidate for libertarians, whether or not he calls himself the libertarian candidate.
It is for that reason that the much-feared "establishment" is only a real threat to Paul in the primary if there is no consensus establishment candidate. The conservative grassroots will not, at least in significant numbers, choose Jeb Bush or Chris Christie over Rand Paul. Many non-libertarian conservatives would prefer Paul over a genuinely moderate candidate. So rather than an anyone-but-Paul movement coalescing against him, he would probably benefit from the reverse.
But what if Bush doesn't run? Well then Paul has a problem, because the "establishment" will support someone, and there are many palatable candidates on offer. The governors, especially Scott Walker and Mike Pence, would probably easily compete with Paul for non-libertarian voters and get establishment backing. Marco Rubio is another candidate who would appeal to establishment figures but also many conservatives–though his support for comprehensive immigration reform presumably makes him less of a threat to Paul's base of support.
In such a case, Paul's best hope is to compete for the "constitutional conservative" label, not differentiate himself from it. He has less to lose if he's up against a 2016 version of Mitt Romney. So is Paul a libertarian? The best guess right now is: It depends.

FOREIGN POLICY SUDDENLY CENTER STAGE as anti-American violence erupts in Middle East: U.S. ambassador killed -- CHUCK TODD: Inflammatory Romney statement 'bad mistake'
FLASH – "US ambassador killed in consulate attack in Libya," by AP's Esam Mohamed and Maggie Michael in Tripoli, Libya: "The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three American members of his staff were killed in the attack on the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi by protesters angry over a [video] that ridiculed Islam's Prophet Muhammad … Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed Tuesday night when he and a group of embassy employees went to the consulate to try to evacuate staff as the building came under attack by a mob guns and rocket propelled grenades. …
"The attack on the Benghazi consulate took place as hundreds of protesters in neighboring Egypt scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and tore down and replaced the American flag with a black Islamic banner. …
"The protests in both countries were sparked by outrage over a film ridiculing Muhammad produced by an Israeli filmmaker living in California and being promoted by an extreme anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian campaigner in the United States. … Stevens, 52, was a career diplomat who spoke Arabic and French and had already served two tours in Libya, including running the office in Benghazi during the revolt against Gadhafi. He was confirmed as ambassador to Libya by the Senate earlier this year."
--HOW IT HAPPENED -- Reuters/Benghazi, Libya: Ambassador Stevens "and three other embassy staff were killed in a rocket attack on their car … as they were rushed from a consular building stormed by militants denouncing a U.S.-made [video] insulting the Prophet Mohammad. Gunmen had attacked and burned the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi … Stevens was being driven from the consulate building to a safer location when gunmen opened fire."
--AP: "According to the State Department Office of the Historian, five U.S. ambassadors have been killed by terrorists: Adolph Dubs, in Afghanistan, 1979 … Francis E. Meloy Jr., in Lebanon, 1976 … Rodger P. Davies, in Cyprus, 1974 … Cleo A. Noel Jr., in Sudan, 1973 … John Gordon Mein, in Guatemala, 1968. Two other U.S. ambassadors have died in plane crashes: Arnold L. Raphel, in Pakistan, 1988 … Laurence A. Steinhardt, in Canada, 1950."
--7:21 a.m., Statement by the President on the Attack in Benghazi: "I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. … They exemplified America's commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives. I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe.'
"While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.
"On a personal note, Chris was a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States. Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi. As Ambassador in Tripoli, he has supported Libya's transition to democracy. His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice. I am profoundly grateful for his service to my Administration, and deeply saddened by this loss."
WILLIE GEIST, on "Morning Joe": "Foreign policy on the front page, and it happened in the blink of an eye. And we'll learn a lot about Mitt Romney over the next couple of days, seeing how he handles this."
--MARK McKINNON: "When you look at what's happening in Libyan and Egypt, and stack that up with what's happened with [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu in Israel over the last couple of days, suddenly foreign policy is taking front and center in our public policy and potentially in our politics. It could be very important in the campaign, when we all thought that foreign policy was going to be sort of an afterthought."
ROMNEY CAMPAIGN sends incendiary statement as volatile developments unfold:
--Tuesday a.m. ET, "U.S. Embassy Condemns Religious Incitement: The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."
--10:09 p.m., Mitt Romney "Statement On Developments In Libya and Egypt," embargoed for midnight, putting it past 9/11: "I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi. It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."
--10:25 p.m., Romney campaign emails reporters: "You can use this statement immediately, embargo is lifted."
--11:04 p.m., ABC's Jake Tapper posts, "Obama Administration Distances Self From Statement Issued by US Embassy in Cairo": "An administration official tells ABC News that 'no one in Washington approved that statement before it was released and it doesn't reflect the views of the U.S. government.'"
--12:09 a.m., Ben LaBolt, national press secretary at Obama for America, "Response to Governor Romney's statement: 'We are shocked that, at a time when the United States of America is confronting the tragic death of one of our diplomatic officers in Libya, Governor Romney would choose to launch a political attack.'"
NBC'S CHUCK TODD on "Morning Joe," on Romney aides issuing the statement "before they knew for sure whether there were going to be protests that spread around the world. It seemed to be an irresponsible thing to do. ... I have a feeling they wish they had that moment back, that they wish they had that statement back. ... I understand where they feel like they are: They're chasing news cycles right now. And they feel as if they have to be involved in every news cycle, in every event if the president's involved, in order to look on equal footing. That was a bad mistake they made last night."

LATE-NIGHT DIPLOMACY – "Obama calls Netanyahu to hear explanation on Iran warning," by AFP's Stephen Collinson: "President Obama called Benjamin Netanyahu Tuesday after he provoked a sudden crisis in relations by warning Washington had no moral right to stop Israel attacking Iran's nuclear program. In an unusual move, Obama called the Prime Minister in the early hours Israel time, after a day of fast-rising tensions, exacerbated when Israeli officials said Obama had snubbed Netanyahu's request for talks on US soil. … A US statement said the call lasted an hour and insisted there was no rift over how to handle Iran, but left the impression Obama was irked at Netanyahu's rhetoric on a key foreign policy crisis weighing on his re-election hopes. …
"The statement also said that contrary to reports in the Israeli press 'there was never a request for Prime Minister Netanyahu to meet with President Obama in Washington, nor was a request for a meeting ever denied.' An Israeli official told AFP earlier that Netanyahu had asked for talks later this month at the UN General Assembly, but that the White House said the president's 'very tight schedule' as he runs for reelection would not allow it. Then, as bad feeling bubbled between the allies, the Israeli Haaretz newspaper quoted an unnamed Israeli official as saying Netanyahu had even offered to come to Washington for talks."
FIRST LOOK – Sunday's N.Y. Times Magazine, "'A BORN POLITICIAN': Joe Kennedy III is trying to follow in the steps of his father (and grandfather and great-uncles and so on)," by Edith Zimmerman: "When Patrick J. Kennedy relinquished his Rhode Island House seat in early 2011, it marked the first time since 1947 that there was no Kennedy in national elected office. … Joe Kennedy spent the summer traveling in Massachusetts' newly redrawn Fourth District — the one that Barney Frank has represented since 1981, a year after Kennedy was born. Last winter, after Frank announced his retirement, Kennedy moved into the district and soon began his campaign. During the past few months, he has visited senior citizens at bingo night in Taunton, eaten gluten-free cupcakes at a bakery in Millis, cheered at a tractor pull in Rehoboth and greeted Green Line commuters. Through individual donations and about $200,000 from various PACs, he has taken in nearly $3 million, about six times the total of his nearest opponent. He clinched the Democratic nomination on Sept. 6.
"Part of Kennedy's appeal is that … he has led a decidedly drama-free life. Joe and his fraternal twin, Matt, grew up in the Boston suburbs and went to the prestigious Buckingham Browne & Nichols school. … He went to Stanford, where he co-captained the lacrosse team, then to the Peace Corps and then to Harvard Law School. After graduation, he became an assistant district attorney in Middlesex County, in eastern Massachusetts. In mid-January, he resigned from the district attorney's office. A few days later he announced his engagement to his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Anne Birchfield, whom he met at Harvard (they've been together for six years — 'I was on borrowed time,' he told me). A month after that he declared his candidacy. He also adopted a puppy." http://nyti.ms/PqCM1V
FISCAL CLIFF NOTES -- "Hill ignores fiscal cliff warnings," by Jake Sherman and Seung Min Kim: "Hello, Washington. It's the real world calling. A disaster is coming. Can you do something — anything — to stop the bleeding? … Farm bureaus, financial credit rating agencies, Wall Street, the defense industry, chambers of commerce and postal groups have all sounded the alarm bell warning D.C. about all manner of debt, spending and tax crises. They've largely failed to spur the action they were seeking. The latest get-it-together moment came Tuesday, when Moody's — one agency that has not downgraded the nation's credit — warned that it could lower the rating unless Washington came together to agree on a budget package in 2013 that significantly cut the nation's debt. … 'I'm not confident at all,' [Speaker] Boehner said about the prospects of the deal …
"Capitol Hill is all but resigned to the fact that no movement on the cliff will occur until after the Nov. 6 election. … Hours after Boehner's words of pessimism, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) rebutted him. 'I was disappointed when my friend John Boehner said today that he has no confidence on a budget deal," he told reporters. … 'I'm confident that we will reach some kind of an arrangement.' … [T]op executives from several defense companies — such as Lockheed Martin, EADS North America and BAE Systems — warned in letters released Monday that they'll distribute tens of thousands of layoff warnings due to uncertainty caused by the budget sequester." http://politi.co/PhQl02

THE RIGHT LECTURES ROMNEY: "You're so vague" -- Jim VandeHei and Alexander Burns: "Leading conservatives are offering blunt: …Quit ducking details, start engaging in a real and specific war of ideas with President Obama — or lose. … The Romney theory of the case for winning rests on voters turning against Obama because of the economy and then ultimately warming to Romney because they see him as a better-than-even bet to improve it. In this context, a full-throated engagement on the laurels of injecting private competition into the existing Medicare system or detailing the loopholes to be eliminated to finance broad-based tax reductions for the middle class are a distraction." http://politi.co/QPzrWC
FIXING MITT – "So, what should Romney do?" by Alexander Burns and Maggie Haberman: "With the clock running out, Republicans are pushing Romney to try a range of alternative tactics to move the top lines of the race. … Here are some suggestions from a roster of top Republicans. …
"--Embrace your inner Monty Burns: The battle to define Romney is over and, in the eyes of most Republicans, the GOP presidential candidate lost …. responding only slowly and feebly to charges that he's a factory-closing, job-outsourcing and maybe even tax-evading plutocrat … One top Republican strategist [said] that 'some of the things that need fixing would require a time machine … Maybe the best strategy is to embrace the perception that he is a cold-hearted cutter of government waste and inefficiency who will make the tough and at times unpopular decisions to turn the country around.' …
--"Get detailed — and get excited — about what you'll do as president: Romney has set some pretty specific goals for his administration: … create 12 million jobs in four years, achieve energy independence by 2020, balance the federal budget, etc. What Romney hasn't done is talk about those goals in a way that conveys to voters how he'll achieve them. … The thinness of Romney's policy message is all the more conspicuous because he chose … Paul Ryan as his running mate. … Few bold policy proposals have followed. …
--"Stop chasing shiny objects: … Romney's campaign is all about jobs and the economy. Except, that is, when Romney's talking about the Chicago teachers' strike. Or keeping 'God' on U.S. currency. Or the state of 2012 swing-state polling. Or clarifying — and re-clarifying — his views on the Affordable Care Act. For a candidate who's supposed to be single-minded in his focus on pocketbook issues, Romney has veered off message with surprising frequency …
"Republican strategist John Brabender, an adviser to onetime Romney foe Rick Santorum, … said it was a mistake this week for the Romney campaign to put out a memo responding to Obama's post-convention polling bump … Longtime GOP operative Ed Rollins, who ran Ronald Reagan's 1984 campaign, said Romney's weekend appearance on NBC's 'Meet the Press' was a vivid case of the candidate getting pulled away repeatedly from his core themes. 'He basically needs to have a very strong answer of what he needs to do to fix the economy,' Rollins said. 'It's no longer a time to play personality games.' …
--"Stop going to Wolfeboro: There are plenty of swing voters in New Hampshire, but few of them can be found on the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee. … For activists and operatives who think Romney has been overly passive in the 2012 campaign, there's no better symbol for that than his repeated outings on all manner of watercraft — boats, jet skis and, at Romney's La Jolla vacation home, a body board. It's prompted grumbling comparisons to John Kerry's 2004 windsurfing excursion, except Kerry didn't spend weekend after weekend on Nantucket. …
"There are precious few campaign days left in 2012 and Romney has already spent too many of them far away from the electorate, either hanging out with his family or — more commonly — raising money behind closed doors. The Romney campaign's theory of the case — that Obama is simply disqualified by virtue of the high unemployment rate — could well be proven right. But a whole range of Republicans would like to see their nominee doing more to win the debate against Obama. One Republican … laid out this challenge for Romney in the weeks before the first debate: 'Get off the bus.' … Spend time with the voters whose economic frustration your campaign is trying to channel." http://politi.co/QiVO86
AIR WAR INVADES WISCONSIN – Alexander Burns: "Mitt Romney is spending about $361,000 on TV ads there over the next week, to try and move the Democratic-leaning state into his column. Now, … the Obama campaign is about to go up big – possibly bigger than Team Romney. The Obama campaign is booking seven days of airtime, from Sept. 13 to Sept. 19. Where the Romney campaign has released one ad, Obama has made reservations for three: two 30-second ads and one 60-second ad. … [Obama campaign] spokesman Adam Fetcher … 'We continue to believe that ultimately this contest will be won or lost on the ground – which is why we've built an extraordinary grassroots campaign across Wisconsin that will ensure neighbors are talking to neighbors.'" http://politi.co/QIhI95
--Obama won Wisconsin 56-42 in '08, so Romney encouraged that it's in play.

Thank Goodness Governor Romney is not the CiC right now. He is quite 'gung ho' about war,, I'll give him that.. a real 'drop of the hat' and knee jerk kinda fellow it seems.
Certainly not who I want in charge of our military/kids at this juncture.... worlds too dangerous... the whole 'quick draw' Sheriff stuff might be cute for the kids around Halloween, but as deliberate political posturing on 9-11, it's ghastly bad form,.............. Gross even.
CHUCK TODD: Inflammatory Romney statement 'bad mistake'
oh now it's Romney's fault that the whole middle east goes up in flames...as if we didn't know this was coming long before Romney ever sat foot on the republican stage...
Typical MSNBC liberal stuff...actually it's another word, you can guess....
we knew it will happen when Hillary and her Boss encouraged Mubarak to step down....why Israel diddn't object to that...since he garanteed the peace contract with Israel...and was mostly our friend , is beyond me....but this whole thing in Libya, Egypt , Afghanistan now......Parkistan....is, I believe, this administrations doing , by not standing firm, a Drone strike won't take care of the problems alone, I don't believe I am the only one who saw this coming....when they said they have to deal with the brotherhood and very likely , I believe , even financed fundamental Islam, I I knew...that this wasn't going good. It's sooo time for the Clintons to leave the political scene...take an example from Bush..it's time to go home.....if you can't live together find a hobby....I am sure you got plenty to choose from,,,and it looks like we have to put up with this administration another 4 years.....I would say...God help us....but that is even a big job for God...
liberals , we had to learn over the last years...are in my opinon one sorry, sad bunch....look at Afghanistan....
letting an ambassodor get killed? guarding him with their natives, whom you can't trust as far as you can throw a pebble...? if you had the Blackwater guards, now called a different name...he would be very likely still alive.......but no...we have to do nation building....just leave in November....

Party: Liberal...why the phoney NA...only an all the way bending to the left leftist can think like that...They said the same thing about Reagan....I was there at that time.....and not one shot fell...and the iron curtain came down....from Berlin to Moskau to Bukarest.. Ungary....Jugoslawian....Polen.... the fundamental Islamist have Obama figured out to a "T"........but just like you, they can't figure out Romney....and it makes their spine cringe....to bad we have to put up with this administration another four years...by then, fundamentalist Islam society will be set...I remember the speech Obama gave in Egypt...it impressed everybody except the Egyptians...ha ha ha....
We will see the real Obama during this time in how he handles this situation. I don't feel safe with Obsma at the helm. He embraces these people that hate the U. S. he slights or ally Israel.
Islam is the worst, but other religions are vulnerable and capable too.
It makes for an unstable and ungovernable country. Sadly, the USA is suffering more and more religious zealotry and related political angst and extremism.
Romney needs to pick up a ledger and a pencil and shove his face in the ledger and not talk to the human race. He either lies or gets everything confused when he does. He knows no more about Libya than I do from reading the paper. He is a civilian.
On our sacred day, 9/11, while Obama stopped with politics and TV ads, Romney forged ahead without respecting those who hold that day so dear. And last night before the relatives are even informed of their loved ones deaths, he is again on TV talking stupid and getting all the facts wrong.
To pretend he knows anything about foreign affairs is a joke when he can't even go to London without offending people or go to Iowa without offending a business man there. He may have a business sense but he has no COMMON SENSE.
- This was a small group of "radicals". Others fought with the Americans and took the Ambassador to the hospital. This was not the entire population of Libyans. Those responsible should be hunted down and made to pay for this but those in this country who started this should also be held accountable.Twice now Terry Jones has started a mess that cost people their lives! He is just as radical as those who stormed the embassay. This country has it's sure of radicals as well that go by The Tea Party.
Carol, .....Are you for real? If this is what you define as 'being there'......you can just keep it. Absolutely nothing has improved under the Presidency of you guy. Tell me one thing that has? Just one. School lunches don't count.
Carol.....because I'm a kind who identifies more with the Tea Party than the unwashed Occupy crowd, I'll give you some hints of what's not better: Unemployment/Under-employment Gas Prices Inflation Energy cost and production Regulation Health Care GM Stock price and hence, company value Solyndra stock and our investment in it (Yep..it's worth nothing) Education in Chicago The number of pro-American governments in the Middle East Chevy Volt sales Our National Deficit Our National Debt The number of doctors willing to see Medicare patients The projected number of doctors who will be doing doctoring of any type. Race Relations China/Russia relations
...and what's better? Well...theoretically, School lunches...but I already said they don't count.
