Last Sunday's New York Times honed in on the dubious practice of Americans buying carbon offsets to brand themselves carbon-neutral. Andy Revkin, the paper's global-warming reporter, quoted me saying, "There isn't a single American household above the poverty line that couldn't cut their CO2 at least 25 percent in six months through a straightforward series of fairly simple and terrifically cost-effective measures." My claim has hit a nerve. Despite the absence of a link, already a dozen readers have tracked me down on the web and written to ask what measures I have in mind. This article is for them and anyone else who might be interested. First, a confession. As often happens, assertion preceded analysis. But my claim didn't come from thin air -- I have experience in energy analysis and a feel for the numbers. With a bit of figuring, I made a list of 16 energy-saving (hence carbon-reducing) steps that together should do away with a bit more than one-quarter of a typical U.S. household's carbon emissions. The top five:
What's a percent or two? Or three? Not much, sometimes. But a lot when we're talking about carbon dioxide emissions that are throwing earth's climate out of whack. And quite a lot when effort is going into ranking emission sources to help prioritize our responses to the climate crisis. These thoughts are occasioned by a scoop in the Guardian (U.K.) reporting that world shipping -- essentially, freighters and tankers moving goods and raw materials -- accounts for "up to 5% of the global total" of carbon emissions. "CO2 output from shipping [is] twice as much as airlines," shouts the Guardian headline, in light of the 2-3 percent share of emissions associated with air travel. Goodness, a dozen eco-blogs seemed to mutter in unison, have we been barking up the wrong tree? Were we wrong to hammer globe-girdling celebs and fret over cheap air fares, instead of targeting ships carrying shirts from Bangkok to Berlin and plasma screens from Seoul to San Francisco? Well, not so fast.
At the Carbon Tax Center, we're forever on the lookout for new and outsized ways in which Americans are using energy. Too often, today's novelty item is just a clever marketing campaign away from tomorrow's sizable carbon emitter. Witness high-definition televisions, or Jet Skis. If history is a guide, efficiency standards to govern new devices' fuel consumption won't be promulgated until after they have proliferated -- if ever. Carbon taxes, in contrast, could help rein in new products' energy requirements from the get-go, i.e., in the design stage. Where a product has little redeeming social value, the price signals from a carbon tax might even keep it from gaining a toehold in the culture. These thoughts came to mind when we read an article in The New York Times (sub. rq.) last week about suburbia's latest must-have energy-guzzlers: home snowmaking machines.
Yesterday Gristmill ran a curious article by Bill Chameides of Environmental Defense, attacking a carbon tax strawman that no one is advocating, least of all the Carbon Tax Center (CTC). Chameides stated that the "government would use additional tax dollars to subsidize the development of selected low-carbon technologies." We invite him to look at CTC's proposed carbon tax, which is revenue-neutral. Revenues will go to reduce regressive taxes or to finance progressive, equal rebates to all U.S. residents. Contrary to Chameides' charge, we have never advocated targeting tax revenues to any technology, privileged or otherwise. Nor, to our knowledge, have the Washington Post's Anne Applebaum, whom he also took to task, or the dozens of columnists, economists, scientists, and other public figures who support taxing carbon.
With the new IPCC report finally out in the world, climate activists can again focus on action. What do we do now? I say, first let's cut through the defeatism that's posing as realism, as in this article in yesterday's L.A. Times, "Game over on global warming?": Everybody in the United States could switch from cars to bicycles. The Chinese could close all their factories. Europe could give up electricity and return to the age of the lantern. But all those steps together would not come close to stopping global warming. Really? I ran the numbers and came up with a 17-18% reduction in global CO2 emissions (4.3% from zapping U.S. cars, 7.7% for closing Chinese factories, 5.6% for converting European electricity to wind). Hasn't the Times heard of harm reduction? Every percentage drop in emissions will translate into some mitigation in sea level rises, violent storms, and other harms from global warming. No less vexing, for this writer, was Robert Reich's blog reaction to the IPCC report. The former Clinton Secretary of Labor hadn't even finished his lead paragraph when he threw in the towel: "You can forget a carbon tax any time soon." C'mon, Bob. Don't mourn, organize. Surrendering just when a political critical mass is assembling to attack carbon emissions is, well, un-American. A carbon tax is essential, and the work of coaxing the public and pressuring policymakers has to start now. There's just no alternative.
New crises demand new modes of thought. In the early 20th century, scientists were baffled by the paradox that the speed of light never changes, even if the observer is rushing toward the light source. Einstein resolved the crisis by redefining time from a constant to a variable. In the mid-20th Century, America was struggling to escape its centuries-old legacy of slavery and segregation. Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement found us all a way forward, by redefining racism as an assault on the souls of whites as well as blacks. Today, America's and the world's prodigal use of fossil fuels is creating twin crises: a climate crisis from emissions of heat-trapping pollution into the atmosphere, and a security crisis self-created by the industrial world's thirst for other people's oil. We can solve both crises, but only if we relinquish deep-seated beliefs about fuels and energy. And the attitude we must fling overboard first is our sense of entitlement to cheap energy. We need to recognize that energy does not cost too much; in fact, it doesn't cost nearly enough. To preserve Earth's climate, and wrest political authority from the corporate oil barons and petrodollar sheiks, we must conserve fuel massively and permanently, starting now. The United States, the biggest consumer of coal, oil, and gas by far, probably needs to cut back by 75% within just two decades. Yet so long as energy is cheap it will never be conserved, except in token and totally inadequate amounts. Energy-efficiency standards are often held out as the alternative to higher fuel prices. Standards have proven modestly valuable in some sectors, and going forward they can be a helpful supplement to price-based conservation. But by themselves, standards will never come close to achieving the necessary reductions in energy usage. For every activity that is brought under efficiency standards, dozens of others will elude regulatory control, either through industry "gaming" or due to the creative unruliness of consumer capitalism, forever finding new ways to burn fuels. (Cases in point: the "light truck" loophole to CAFE standards that spawned the SUV plague, and the advent of flights-by-the-hour air travel that consumes even more fuel per passenger.) The lesson should be clear: whether the resource is muscles, water, fuel, or time, we humans squander what's plentiful and husband only what's dear. To be sure, few people in public life have yet articulated the need to make energy expensive. One prominent advocate missing in action so far is Ralph Nader, the activist icon and two-time Green Party candidate for president.
Dumb me. I went to the Zappa Plays Zappa concert last month. Great show, with Dweezil faithfully channeling his dad Frank. But I felt kind of dorky lugging my bicycle helmet around the theater. You see, I had made the 10-mile round trip between lower Manhattan, where I live, and the Beacon Theatre on the Upper West Side, by bicycle. Burning a gallon of gas to go 20 miles makes 20 pounds of CO2, so I figure that by biking instead of taking a taxi I prevented 10 pounds of climate-altering greenhouse gases from going into the atmosphere. That may not be much, but it's something. But now I'm told that for 6 cents I could have been just as "climate-neutral" as I was by pedaling ten rather sweaty miles. Just a nickel and a penny could have purchased enough wind-generated electricity to keep the coal-fired power grid from burning a few lumps of bituminous and releasing 10 pounds of CO2 -- the same climate-altering amount the cab ride would have made. Says who? The very popular, and now supposedly climate-conscious, Dave Matthews Band.

Ross D. Keeling, Lawyer
1504 B Legend Trail Drive
Lawrence, KS 66047
(785) 424-0456
My name is Ross Keeling. I am a lawyer, and I am licensed to practice in Kansas and Missouri. My office is in Lawrence, Kansas and I have flexible office arrangements in the Kansas City Metro area so I can meet you near your home or office to discuss your need for legal representation. It is useful to me, and it serves my clients well, to be licensed in both Kansas and Missouri because many matters involve families that have lived in or near the Kansas City area for decades, and who have property, relatives, and business interests in both states. It is very common for local businesses to extend into both Kansas and Missouri in the regular course of their operations.
In my practice I provide sensible legal services to help my clients manage their business relationships, recover losses, and to document significant, activities and structural changes in their business environments. I also provide personal services to clients requiring estate planning, probate services, or to resolve family matters. And I also provide legal assistance to those needing to sell or transfer their business interests as part of a business succession or exit plan as well.
The best use of a lawyer is to do the things you can't do for yourself. Most non-lawyers reach that threshold pretty quickly, however I would like to meet with you and help you understand your needs for legal counsel. I usually provide a half hour consultation without charge prior to billing my hourly fee.
I have built my practice one relationship at a time, providing personal legal services carefully tailored to the needs of each client. I urge my clients to look ahead, and make preparations to manage the future. And although sometimes professionally drafted contracts, trusts, and other business arrangements may seem expensive, it is usually only a fraction of the cost of going to court, or fixing problems that could have been prevented.
If you have questions regarding your rights and obligations under a contract; or if you would like to understand how to preserve the value of your assets as they are passed to future generations; if you deal with real estate at all; or if you have questions about a legal matter that may affect your life, please call me.

Yes, my father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate's half sister's high school sweetheart is the guy who scrapes the gum off of the bottom of the PATCO car seats.
80,000 hopped up on energy drink and whatever they mix it with make it to and from Camden safely — sounds like news to me.
Jim...I should have said we carefully weigh whether we print the names of those who take their own lives. The police officer you mentioned is a member of her community and yes, it was probably appropriate that her name was publicized.
However, this was a private citizen with her own right to privacy, no matter how "public" her death.
Please explain to me the benefit of having that name out there, because quite frankly, I don't see it.
I see that each of your posts to nj.com have been critical of investigators. In speaking with those close to the case in question, this is a case of what you see is what you get.
Jim...As policy, we do not publish the names of suicide victims. While I have the woman's name and her last known address, it does the public no service to release that information to the masses. Her family probably has been through enough as it is.
Joanette...thanks for clearing that up and kudos to your son.
How was I ever expected to acknowledge him if he didn't stay?
Yes, I'm terrible I know.
Thanks for the heads up. So noted, and corrected.
Don't forget what happened to the last person who did everything right on this planet.
I do.
Leonce and Hardwick are held on bail. They allegedly were involved in the murder of Huff and Hawkins.
No, Kimberly, I didn't.

Looks like Sean Smith is tearing it up in camp this year. He lost a bunch of weight too (24 lbs) and has been balling it up. Do you guys think we should extend him during the season or let him hit FA and press our luck? Corners are a BIG item in FA and they go fast, so I expect someone to shell out a lot of $ for this him if he his FA. And believe me someone WILL shell out a lot of $ for a big corner like SS.
In comparison, this offseason Brandon Carr got 5 year $50 Mil and last year Nnamdi Asomugha got 5 years $60 Mil. So SS will want something around $10 to $12 Million per year (assuming no hometown discount).
Another option I think could and is more likely to happen is that we extend Long (Joe Thomas got 7 years $84 Mil, $12Mil per year) - who would get $15.36 million if we tag him instead (120% of his 2012 cap number of $12.8 million) - and then tag SS ($10.6 Million 1 year). **THIS IS MY VOTE**
Either way this is an issue for Ireland, the good news is we will have about $40 Million in cap space next offseason. At the same time Ireland has shown to be pretty shrewd with the cap and not giving in to players, so I dont see a max contract coming from us. If he wants to stay he will have to take a hometown discount or else he will be shown the door.
ASSUMING he has a breakout year what are your thoughts?

Students learn by becoming involved…[and] the amount of student learning is proportional to the quality and quantity of student involvement in a program" (Astin, 1984, p. 36.)
Involvement in campus activities (e.g. student government, student clubs, leadership trainings and service programs) promotes higher gains for students in the following areas:
• College retention and persistence
• Self-esteem and self-awareness
• Cognitive development and increased intellectual development
• Developing purpose and autonomy
• Humanitarianism, cultural participation and diversity and values clarification,
• Life management skills, organization skills and public speaking skills
• Community involvement and Citizenship conflict management
• Stronger preparedness for a chosen career
(Sources: Astin, 1984, Erwin & Marcus-Mendoza, 1988; Guido-DiBrito & Batchelor 1988; Cooper et al., 1994; Romano, 1996; Sermenrsheim, 1996; Eklund-Leen & Young, 1997 Sutton & Terrell, 1997; Hernandez et al., 1999; Kuh et al., 2000)

Answer: Start with the Department Student Involvement! What's their passion… Leadership? Volunteerism? Journalistic talent? Sports? Music? Have your student take a gander at the more than 200 student organizations and see if anything sparks their interest. We can also schedule a time for your student to meet with another student in our office to find the best fit.
Question: My Vandal identifies as LGBTQ, are there programs groups for him/her, what can I recommend?
Answer: From weekly events like Nerd Tuesdays and Lavender Lunch to weeklong campaigns like Transgender Awareness Week our LGBTQA office, located in the Teaching and Learning Center has caring staff to support each Vandal.
Question: My Vandal doesn't want to be around an alcohol scene, are there programs groups for him/her, what can I recommend?
Answer: A great first step is for you and your student to get to know how to find information and the university wide calendar is an awesome start. www.uidaho.edu/calendar.
Question: My Vandal is looking for things to do on the weekend what can I recommend?
Answer: Don't you love that song "Everybody's workin' for the weekend" ?! Let the U.Idaho calendar be your first stop to find out what's happening during the weekend. Next, keep a copy of 101 things to do on the Palouse in your pocket, or rent a zipcar from Parking and Transportation Services and take a roadtrip!

Bonnie Slade: Gift of iPhone is rushing childhood
Dear Dr. Slade:
My daughter will turn 12 next month, and she has asked for an iPhone.
I don't think she needs this at all. I was hoping to stear clear of cell phones for a few more years.
I can't put into words why I object. I just have a feeling I don't want to do this.
What's the latest advice on kids' gadgets?
Technically Challenged
Dear Technically Challenged:
Birthdays are such a wonderful time in a child's life.
We try to make their day special, lots of fun and memorable. Sometimes, we go overboard, but it's usually harmless fun.
Your daughter has put in a request for a pricey gift. It is also a gift that is making you uncomfortable. Your intuition on this one is dead-on. Perhaps I can articulate the concerns. Knowing exactly what is making you uncomfortable can make it easier for you to set a limit.
I see two issues involved in this gift.
The first one concerns rushing our children to grow up too quickly. This is a common malady in American families. We push our kids, unwittingly, to leave childhood as rapidly as possible. Some of the ways are obvious. Some parents stop buying toys at around age 8 and replace the toys with video gadgets, DVDs and CDs, as though the child was a teenager. Others allow their children to dress as teenagers.
We have all seen the 10-year-old girls who dress with wedge heels, tube tops and short skirts. Some ways are less obvious. The busy parent who does not monitor TV and movie viewing (and thus exposes the child to R rated material) is unwittingly rushing the child to grow up to quickly.
Many child psychologists see the consequences of this rushing in clinical practice.
Children present with depression and anxiety that can be partly tied to short circuiting childhood. Children also start to dabble in sex and alcohol at a young age because of this rushed childhood.
The use of an iPhone by a 12-year-old is part of rushing childhood.
A healthier type of gift for this age might be a fun scooter, a crafts kit, a bicycle, a family based video game, a trip to Sea World with the family and a friend and so forth. These types of gifts promote fun phyisical activity and family together time.
The iPhone, in contrast, promotes teen type of behavior of staying in touch with friends around the clock. It is also a status gift. Perhaps your daughter wants to be "cool" and feels the peer pressure to have her own phone. Help her resist that pressure by not buying into it.
The second issue pertains to your lack of understanding of what this iPhone can do.
Parents must become more knowledgable about these new gadgets if they are going to be able to buffer children from dangers in the world. I strongly urge you to abandon your Techno-phobic habits and learn about the new technologies that are part of kids' lives.
Perhaps you did not know that your daughter can go on line with an iPhone. Allowing a young child online without supervision is similar to dropping her off in the middle of a city for the day, unchaperoned. There are some pretty bad jams kids can get into online, and many psychologists have seen the results of this in their practice.
So, let your daughter know that for now you will not be getting her a cell phone. Do not get into an argument with her about this. Surely she will tell you that "all" of her friends have cell phones. Let her watch you resist peer pressure.
You may eventually get your daughter a cell phone when she begins to drive. But, thankfully, that is still a few years off. By then, her brain will be better developed (although not yet fully developed), which will allow for better judgment.
You will still need to educate yourself, however, about the capabilities of the cell phone so that you can set appropriate limits.
Bonnie Slade Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist in private practice in Palm Bay. You can email her with your general questions at email@example.com Put Dr. Slade in the subject header. Do not include your name, address or phone number.

The Mule IDE does not natively support Mule 3's new application structure yet, but not to worry, with the new 2.1 release of the Mule IDE you can still keep it hot when working in the IDE. Just follow a few simple steps and your apps will be doing the tango with Mule 3 while you code away in Eclipse.
Tag: HowTo
In order to make sure that the migration path is straightforward and well-documented, I just finished migrating the SFTP MuleForge project from Mule ESB 2.2.1 to 3.0. It was extremely helpful to have a good set of unit tests in the SFTP transport code. That makes it easier to tell if your project still has all of the necessary functionality after the migration. If you are interested in migrating your own MuleForge project, check out the following links:
Right now TCP inbound endpoints are implemented as TCP servers that listen for data coming from different clients. In Mule ESB 2.2.6 we are adding a new feature to inverse the control: TCP inbounds can now poll data from remote servers.
It is really easy to switch to this strategy. Let's take a look of how a mule configuration looks like:
Organizations running Apache Tomcat in production on Windows often want to run Tomcat as a Windows service. This removes the need for someone to be actively logged into the server and provides an easy way to integrate with Windows management tools. In this blog, I will explain the easiest way to run Tomcat as a Windows service and how you can do this for multiple instances as well.
Running an instance of Apache Tomcat as a Windows service is not complicated, if you download the correct distribution of Tomcat (Windows service Installer). However, running multiple instances of Tomcat as Windows services is a more complicated process. To avoid issues, you would have to:
1. Uninstall the service that the installer has installed ( if you used the service installer)
2. Run the service.bat command and give it an unique name ( so, next service install would not fail )
service.bat install MyTomcat2 ( you have to download the zip distribution to get service.bat )
2. For each instance, edit server.xml and manually modify all ports to unique non-default numbers
3. Go to Service Control Manager by running 'services' from Start menu and change the startup type for each instance to be "Automatic"
You would have to repeat this process for each instance that you want to install, which can get tedious and potentially quite error-prone.
The Tcat Server installer provides a much better experience by enabling you to select a name for the service and also by enabling you to install multiple Tomcat instances on the same box. All you have to do is to run a standard install of Tcat Server on Windows, and it will automatically install Apache Tomcat as a Windows service. It can detect name conflicts and pick unique service names for the Windows services. (The installer also detects port conflicts, so you don't run into start-up issues due to port conflicts).
We have put up a screencast that shows you how to get started with RESTx, our platform for the rapid, easy creation of RESTful web services.
RESTx allows developers to contribute data access, integration and processing components in Java or Python, using a very simple API. Then, with nothing more than a browser and a simple HTML form, users provide parameters for those components, which the RESTx server uses to create new RESTful web services, resulting in easy to use, safe URIs that give users access to the data they need. For example, a developer may contribute a component for access to the API of a legacy application, but the users now provide different sets of query parameters, resulting in resources such as 'customer list', 'order queue', etc.
Our RESTx project – a platform for the rapid and easy creation of RESTful web services and resources – is largely written in Python. Python is a dynamic, duck-typed programming language, which puts very little obstacles between your idea and working code. At least that's the feeling I had when I started to work with Python several years ago: Never before was I able to be so productive, so quickly with so few lines of code. I was hooked. No wonder some people describe it as 'executable pseudo code': Just write down what you want and for the most part, it will actually work.
Now there's a price to pay for this increased developer productivity, where the interpreter somehow figures out at run time what it is that you actually want to do and how to let your code deal with all sorts of different types: Python is interpreted, it's dynamic and this means that for the most part it's slower than compiled languages.
In this article here, I will talk about an interesting optimization technique for Python, which will come as a surprise to many Python developers.
In this article, I will show you how RESTx – an open source project for the creation of RESTful web services and RESTful resources – allows front-end developers to quickly and easily make their own data resources, without having to rely on the back-end server team for every new requirement.
Though a veteran language and platform, Erlang has recently gained a lot of traction, as very visible web sites and open source projects decided to use it in order to leverage its intrinsic support for highly concurrent, fault tolerant and distributed applications. To name a few, let's mention: Facebook Chat, Mochiweb, ejabberd, RabbitMQ, riak and CouchDB.
Without opting for Erlang as a development platform, companies may still be tempted to leverage an Erlang-built middleware: most of them offer public interfaces accessible over generic protocols, like HTTP, and are easy to integrate quickly and efficiently. That said advanced scenarios can require a tighter integration like, for example, creating a module for ejabberd that requires to call custom Java code or reaching server functions on RabbitMQ that are not accessible through AMQP.
This is when the Duke meets Erl. And this is when Mule ESB can help, thanks to the new and coming Erlang Transport for Mule 3. Read on for more information about the transport and a walk-through a simple use-case of RabbitMQ integration.
Most people who ever worked in real-world data integration projects agree that at some point custom code becomes necessary. Pre-fabricated connectors, filter and pipeline logic can only go so far. And to top it off, using those pre-fabricated integration logic components often becomes cumbersome for anything but the most trivial data integration and processing tasks.
With RESTx – a platform for the rapid creation of RESTful web services – we recognize that custom code will always remain part of serious data integration tasks. As developers, we already know about a concise, standardized and very well defined way to express what we want: The programming languages we use every day! Why should we have to deal with complex, unfamiliar configuration files or UI tools that still restrict us in what we can do, if it is often so much more concise and simple to just write down in code what you want to have done?
Therefore, RESTx embraces custom code: Writing it and expressing your data integration logic with it is made as simple as possible.
Let me illustrate how straight forward it is to integrate data resources using just a few lines of clear, easy to read code.
Developers are interesting creatures – curiosity and the urge to explore are their second nature. The way it goes today (until quantum computers replace everything ) we still need to share our findings in some way, which happens to be a code repository. For years, Mule has been using Subversion (and CVS before that), and today there are new kids on the block fighting for our attention. While we aren't yet ready to make a full switch (infrastructure tools need to mature, non-developers need some training, etc.), we're happy to play with Git. Lucky us, they came up with a way to marry two worlds, which gives Subversion a 'lease extension'.
This post describes a workflow which worked quite nicely for us. Who knows, maybe it helps your organization keep developers happy, while preserving sysadmin's good night sleep too? Post your findings in the comments.

Stops on a dime. I now have pads on my bike without fins and they are great. I bought backup pads with the fins to see if there is a recognizable difference between the two pads. Shimano says the fins benefit those who do a lot of down hill riding. I see them extending as the life of the rotors no matter what your style of riding is.

IIRC, Samuel Morse originally was going to base the telegraph of templates of dot-dash patterns that would be assembled...much like type for printing...and then pushed through the transmitter to actually send the signal. At the other end, a device would record streaks of ink of moving paper for later decoding.
It was only later that he realized humans could actually learn the code well enough to dispense with the templates on the sending end and the inker device on the receiving end.

Master Kim and Ping regularly teach Tai Chi introduction lessons or short-term (weekly courses) in hostels in Yangshuo, at the Li riverside or in Yangshuo park. One of the hostels where they often teach is Carpe Diem hostel, just outside of Yangshuo in the little village Shibanqiao.
Carpe Diem has a cosy and welcoming feel, a great location and above all… a big rooftop that is an excellent place for practicing Tai Chi!
Some of our students uploaded a video of one of their rooftop Tai Chi lessons in Yangshuo. You are welcome to comment on their video and share your thoughts about this :)

Why Study Abroad - Student Testimonials
...I just wanted to let everyone know that the USA Tour changed my life. Yes, it was because of the places we went and the organizations and issues we discussed but ultimately it is because of the people I was with. I will never forget everything you all taught me. Julie Rehnborg, USA Tour
"Studying in England and getting the chance to travel all across Europe has changed my life. Simple as that! No other experience has ever taught me so much about other cultures, my own culture and myself. The chance to look at America from the outside was something that all college students, and all Americans, should take advantage of. "
|"Traveling with the Freedom Road Program (Fall 2001) made my BW experience. Learning about America's Civil Rights expanded my understanding of U.S. History and culture. My advice to any incoming students is...study abroad or away during your college experience." Andrew Higgins, USA Tour-Freedom Road
|"Studying abroad is the best favor I ever did for myself. I believe there are joys and lessons that are unique to the experience of travel; and certainly the people I met were unique. I'm blessed that BW has given me this experience, especially in these times when confusion and miscommunication seem to be such an epidemic."
Katy Michel, University of Hull
"Learning about the characteristics of people in foreign lands in turn taught me a great deal about myself. I realized not only what distinguishes me from students sitting in China, but also from the students sitting next to me at BW."
"Studying abroad made me realize that I can do anything that I set my mind to. I got to meet many wonderful people and do things like, snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef, that I never thought I would be able to. Studying abroad has also helped me to have a more global perspective on issues and it changed my life. I made many wonderful memories that will last a lifetime."

A new report on higher education has been released by Illinois State University and the results are disheartening.
According to the report, conducted by the university's Center for the Study of Education Policy, "Arizona cut funding for its public colleges and universities by more than 30 percent since 2009."
In 2009, the state spent $1.3 billion on higher education, but for this fiscal year, that number has dropped to $873 million, Phoenix station KNXV-TV reported.
On Jan. 17, Gov. Jan Brewer released a budget plan and it "asked for a no-growth budget in 2015 for state institutions."

Volume 30, Nr. 2, June 2000 Richardton, ND 58652
The Community of Jesus calls every member to a living and growing faith in Jesus Christ. He is the source of our life, both individually and corporately. Our life together is possible only in him. We are ordinary people called to live beyond the ordinary. By his grace, we are called out of our various backgrounds to form a living body of believers seeking to express this call in the ordinary routine of daily life.
Through the centuries, Christians have gathered to form communities in which they have supported one another in prayer, work and fellowship. In that enduring tradition, each generation of the church has brought forth its own fresh expressions of a common life, in which people join together to live out their commitment of love and service to God, to each other and to the world.
On a small plot of land overlooking Rock Harbor, MA, that commitment has taken the form of an ecumenical abbey in the Benedictine monastic tradition. Members of the community, who come from a wide variety of denominational backgrounds and occupations, make professions according to their rule, including vows of stability and conversion of life. Today there are approximately 160 professed members, and another 60 children and young people, who live in privately owned homes surrounding the church and guesthouse. In addition, some 25 celibate brothers and 60 celibate sisters live in their respective houses (Zion Friary and Bethany Convent).
The beginnings of the community can be traced to the meeting in 1958 of two Episcopal laywomen, Cay M. Andersen and Judy H. Sorensen. Involved in the charismatic renewal at that time, their emerging prayer and teaching ministry attracted the attention and support of a small group of single women who moved to join them on the grounds on the shores of Cape Cod Bay, and committed themselves to a covenantal relationship with one another. Several families soon followed, compelled by a sense of vocation to share in this common life of prayer and work. Not long thereafter, in 1970, the Community of Jesus was formally constituted.
From its inception, the community has sought faithfully to embody a three-fold commitment to conversion of life, reconciliation in the Body of Christ, and the worship of God. Conversion is seen as a lifetime process of personal change, by which a life centered in self is transformed into the new life in Christ. Such change requires the support and love of others, as well as the daily interaction and honest exchanges which are essential parts of authentic community living. Each of the 35 homes within the community is made up of more than one family, often with multiple generations represented, a kind of microcosm of the community as a whole. This sort of mix makes for a sense of extended family within each household, and gives countless practical opportunities for bearing one another's burdens toward the goal of following Christ.
Members of the Community of Jesus come from many walks of life and differing denominational backgrounds, including Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Congregational, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, Roman Catholic, and Pentecostal. Together with the challenges presented by such variety, they have discovered both enrichment and strength in this diversity, as they endeavor to realize a unity that is greater than the differences that have historically divided churches and denominations. The community is committed to forwarding the ecumenical vision of reconciliation in the Body of Christ laid down by the founders, and to that end they pray daily.
The worship of God, which includes Eucharist, the Liturgy of the Hours, home prayers, and private devotion, is the heart of the community's life together. Fundamental to its spiritual life, the Eucharist is celebrated daily. The liturgy, presided over by one of the twelve clergy who serve at the community, incorporates forms and prayers shared by most major branches of the church, rooted in both early Christian sources and contemporary expressions. The Liturgy of the Hours is chanted in Latin (the readings and prayers are in English), according to a modified structure and psalm distribution based loosely on the Thesaurus Liturgia Horarum Monasticum. The community is committed to preserving and cultivating the use of Gregorian chant, not only as a repository of a long-standing and sacred tradition but, more importantly, as a living and contemporary experience of prayer. Essential to and augmenting this corporate prayer are the daily intercessions made in each household, as well as the prayer and scripture study done by each individual (lectio divina).
The occupations of household community members are richly varied, including privately owned businesses, medical personnel, teachers, authors, musicians, electricians, carpenters, plumbers, architects, lawyers and artists. Although members are financially responsible for themselves, they are committed to sharing one another's needs. In this way, spiritually, all members hold all things in common and for the common good. The brothers and sisters, for the most part, are engaged in work at home, in the extensive music and art programs, study and teaching, writing, maintaining the church, retreat house and grounds, and in the business offices. In addition to their work inside or outside the community, many members volunteer their time in local government, school committees, the town fire and rescue teams and various charitable organizations.
Raising children within the context of a "monastic community" presents its own particular blessings and challenges. As they might be in an intimate small town or a tightly knit residential neighborhood, the children are cared for by a multitude of "aunts" and "uncles." There is a deep sense of mutual responsibility for their upbringing. Many of the community's programs are designed to incorporate their talents as well as to shape their affections, including various education, artistic and musical groups, sporting projects, work programs, travel opportunities, and family activities. The children attend the local public and private schools, and some are home-schooled. At the conclusion of their high school education, they are encouraged to take a year off from studies, during which time they begin to discern what part (if any) the community is to have in their future.
In 1988, one of the founders, Cay Anderson, died. This marked a significant transition point as the community moved from governance by its original charismatic leadership to the establishment of a structure and "rule" (still in its provisional stages) designed to perpetuate future leadership while remaining faithful to the original vision. It was especially in the ensuing years that the community found the Benedictine model to be most adaptable and helpful to its formation process. The resulting structure of the Community of Jesus is patterned after such monastic traditions.
The rule provides for three types of membership. Resident members, who engage in a lengthy process of discernment and formation, make professions which, at the level of solemn vows, include conversion (dedication to a humble, patient following of Christ), stability (a promise to make this community one's life home), and obedience (commitment to the authority of God and to the rule of the Community of Jesus). Oblate members do not live in community but, through the profession of an "Oblate Covenant," are part of the life and call of the whole. They maintain membership in their own parishes, participating in a variety of activities at the community, and living according to a "Rule of Life" for oblates. Diaconal members are associated with the community, but are involved less intensely in retreats and group life than are oblates.
The authority of the Community of Jesus is vested in an elected prioress, assisted by a council, a board of directors and the clergy. Together, they oversee the spiritual and administrative life of the community. The sisters and brothers each have their respective heads and councils who serve under the direction of the prioress. Other boards and committees assist in various capacities, so that the many responsibilities for day-to-day living and ministry are shared by members.
The mission of the Community of Jesus is primarily its life of prayer and its members' commitment to God and to each other. This mission is reflected and furthered in various kinds of ministry and outreach: retreats, the live-in program (by which people may live in a community home for brief or extended periods of time, involving themselves at various levels in the daily life and work), Paraclete Press (a multi-media publishing firm), Gloria Dei Artes (a foundation which incorporates a variety of performing arts and musical groups, including Gloria Dei Cantores, an internationally acclaimed choir dedicated to glorifying God through performance and visual arts), and Cross Point (a quarterly ecumenical journal).
Most recently, the community has been engaged in an extensive building project, the first phase of which will conclude on June 17 with the dedication of the new Church of the Transfiguration. Designed in a basilican style, the 55 foot high church is built, inside and out, of Minnesota limestone, and will eventually incorporate a thorough artistic program of stone carving, bronze work, glass, mosaic and fresco. You can find out more about the Community of Jesus, and the Church of the Transfiguration, by either writing to P.O.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas health officials have some advice today when it comes to a new strain of swine flu -- to reduce your risk.
Texas Department of State Health Services spokesman Doug McBride
-- If you're sick, stay home
-- Cover your coughs and sneezes
-- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
McBride told The Associated Press that Texas remains with just two confirmed cases of swine flu.
Gov. Rick Perry has asked federal health officials to provide 850,000 more courses of antiviral medication for Texas -- as a precaution. Texas already has 840,000 courses of antiviral medication on hand.
The two confirmed cases involve students at a high school in Cibolo (SEE'-boh-loh), near San Antonio. A plan to close the high school this week was expanded to include all 14 schools in the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District.

Sleepwalk with Me 2012 LIMITED BDRip XviD-SPARKS
SPARKS released the BDRip of Sleepwalk With Me. It seems to have great ratings, so we should probably all take the time to check this out.
Description: "I'm going to tell you a story, and it's true….I always have to tell people that." So asserts comedian-turned-playwright-turned-filmmaker Mike Birbiglia directly to the viewer at the outset of his autobiographically inspired, fictional feature debut. Birbiglia wears his incisive wit on his sleeve while portraying a cinematic surrogate. We are thrust into the tale of a burgeoning stand-up comedian struggling with the stress of a stalled career, a stale relationship threatening to race out of his control, and the wild spurts of severe sleepwalking he is desperate to ignore. Based on the successful one-man show, Sleepwalk With Me engages in the kind of passionate and personal storytelling that transfigures intimate anguish into comic art.
Genre: Comedy
IMDB rating: 7.2/10 (1,023 users)
Directed by: Mike Birbiglia, Seth Barrish

Case Study
The following is an illustration of how this type of donation works.
Susan, 60, wants to make a gift to a qualified charitable organization but would also like more income in the future.
Gift: Susan creates a charitable remainder unitrust with annual lifetime payouts to her equal to 6 percent of the fair market value of the trust assets. She funds the trust with $250,000 in stock, which she originally bought for $85,000. The stock paid her annual dividends of $5,000.
Benefits to giver: Susan receives $15,000 the first year from the trust, tripling her previous income. Subsequent payout amounts vary each year depending on the annual valuations of the trust assets. She is eligible for a federal income tax charitable deduction of $81,3051 in the year she creates and funds the trust. This deduction saves Susan $22,765 in her 28 percent tax bracket.
Note: If Susan had sold the stock and not given it to the trust, she would not have received the charitable deduction, and she would have paid an additional $24,750 in capital gains tax.
Benefits to the organization: At the end of the trust term (in this case, after Susan's lifetime), the organization is projected to receive more than $300,000 to continue our charitable work, based on 7 percent growth of the trust's assets.
A charitable remainder unitrust can provide you with payments that can potentially increase over time if the trust assets increase in value.

To discuss the good your trust could accomplish at Willamette University, please contact Lori L. Hoby at (866) 204-8102 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ethics panel backs criminal inquiry
By John Tedesco : December 17, 2012 : Updated: December 17, 2012 11:44pm
Photo By Edward A. Ornelas/San Antonio Express-News
City of San Antonio Ethics Review Board Chairman Arthur Downey speaks during a meeting held Monday Dec. 17, 2012. The board is meeting to determine whether three current and former city employees violated the ethics code.
Three city employees who received free or discounted rooms at the Grand Hyatt hotel violated the city's ethics code and should be investigated by law enforcement, the city's Ethics Review Board ruled Monday.
"We do recommend that an investigation be pursued," said board Chairman Arthur Downey, who added that the recommendation will be made to City Manager Sheryl Sculley.
The district attorney's office said earlier Monday that it has started a preliminary inquiry into the matter.
The case involves current and former employees Marc Solis, Jim Mery and Michael Flores, who were disciplined by the city in July but faced no criminal charges.
Solis, who was the Alamodome's general manager at the time but no longer works for the city, was suspended five days without pay, according to his disciplinary letter. The letter says Solis gave an Alamodome suite to the director of sales and marketing at the Grand Hyatt for the 2012 Monster Jam event, and Solis received a complimentary hotel room on New Year's Eve last year.
The Alamodome suites, located on the club level, cost $900 apiece for the Monster Jam.
Solis also secured hotel rooms for Mery and Flores at the Hyatt, gave a free Alamodome suite to a friend, paid fees to a vendor without following proper procedures and drank alcohol while on the job, according to the letter.
Solis denied the allegations in a written statement to the board.
Mery, director of Downtown Operations, was suspended for three days without pay for accepting a free hotel room. He wrote a letter to the Ethics Review Board stating that he thought the room fee had been charged to his credit card, and he found out later that it hadn't.
Mery's lawyer, Van Hilley, said Mery's openness about his actions shows he did nothing wrong.
"If I thought something criminal had taken place, we wouldn't have given a statement," Hilley said.
Flores, booking and services manager for the Alamodome, was punished with a written reprimand for drinking on the job at Monster Jam and for receiving a hotel room at a discount.
In his letter to the Ethics Review Board, Flores said he never received a free room and never gave reciprocal favors in connection with his position at the city.
None of the three appeared before the board Monday night, but lawyers for Mery and Solis were present.
The board looked at the case at the request of Michael Cuellar, who filed a citizen's complaint. The complaint didn't focus on what the Alamodome employees did, but on what city officials didn't do when the problems came to light.
Cuellar said Sculley and other city officials failed to refer the case to law enforcement. He also complained that Sculley didn't call for an independent auditor or outside attorney to investigate the complaints against a city director, as required by a city administrative directive.
But the review board didn't summon Sculley to Monday's hearing.
Asked why, Downey said he didn't disagree with Sculley's decision to handle the matter administratively.
The board simply decided to go a step further and recommend a criminal investigation.
The board also recommended that the city re-examine its policies governing the Alamodome suites.
As the policy stands now, a city employee could be in full compliance with the policy but still potentially violate the city's ethics code, said board member Michael Ariens, a law professor at St. Mary's University.
The Alamodome controversy came to light when the city's Office of Municipal Integrity investigated a complaint and the WOAI Troubleshooters reported the results of that investigation in August.
The publicity had already attracted the attention of the Bexar County district attorney's office before the ethics board met.
"We're just looking at it," said Cliff Herberg, the first assistant district attorney. "We have started a preliminary inquiry to see if any criminal conduct is involved."

World Bank won't match funds to PFOX
This year, the World Bank will allow employees to make charitable contributions to the Reedville, Va.-based Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays as a part of the Bank's annual Community Connections Campaign. But the Bank won't contribute to PFOX itself, the CCC said in an internal memo.
Each year, the World Bank's CCC encourages employees to contribute funds to 250 local and international charities, then matches those donations from 50 to 100 percent of the employees' contribution. But following pressure from LGBT staffers and outside organizations, CCC announced that it won't be matching charitable contributions to the ex-gay organization . . . this year.
A World Bank employee forwarded on the Community Connections Campaign's internal announcement:
For this year's Community Connections Campaign, Bank-matching funds will be provided to those organizations that have, through prior participation, established a track record of support with staff. Organizations that have come on the list this year will not be offered matching funds in this year's campaign, though the Bank will match any contribution that has been made to this latter group prior to today, November 15 2010. We will review the new organizations after one year, to see if they have the staff and community support to warrant a match in the FY12 campaign.
PFOX is one organization that will be participating in the CCC for the first time this year; it's unclear how many other charitable organizations on the list fit that description. Come next year, expect another dust-up over whether PFOX has mustered the "staff and community support" to merit a match.

I do not have any answers but I like your questions a lot!
If they did blaspheme the Holy Spirit, Jesus was not giving them a warning in these passages, but was pronouncing a sentence.
It is also interesting that in Matthew 12:31 the bible uses the terms "all sin and blasphemy" and "blasphemy against the Spirit" while in 12:32 it is "speaks against the Son of Man" and "speaks against the Holy Spirit". Is there a difference between blasphemy against the Spirit and speaking against Him? I don't know.
The bible even says that ALL sins and blasphemes will be forgiven except for the blasphemy of the holy spirit.
in this age or the age to come.After the age to come that sin will be forgivven also.
Quote from: WhiteWings on January 10, 2011, 09:09:58 AMin this age or the age to come.After the age to come that sin will be forgivven also.I think not, the bible simply says that the sin will not be forgiven in this age or the age to come. It does not say whether it will be forgivable or not forgivable in the next age from now.

From the moment you step into the beautiful but non-descript building, you get a taste for what you're in for. Nine trophy cases line the walls filled with literally hundreds of different awards and recognitions received by Disney along with a few bonus items thrown in. Also on display in the lobby area is some of the original furniture from the Disney apartment above the Disneyland Fire Department as well as the multi-plane camera just inside the gift shop area (the multi-plane camera is so large that it actually extends to its proper exhibit on the second floor).
Inside the first Gallery, you are introduced to Walt's family, even pre-Walt. There are literally hundreds of photos that help depict the life of the childhood of Walt and his siblings. You also get your first taste of the technology heavily employed within the museum: LCD monitors (a few of *many*) play a short, stylized video along with actual records of Walt recalling his youth — everything from growing up on a farm to forging a document so that he'd be accepted by the American Red Cross to join an Ambulance unit in France during the war after being rejected by the Armed Forces for his age (he was 16 at the time).

Broncos 31, Bengals 23: Three observations
If the Library of Congress does indeed fully catalog tweets, then the momentary panic that set in over Broncos fans after the Bengals' takeaway-fueled 17-0 second-half run will be preserved for posterity.
Peyton Manning had a pair of throws he'd like to have back, the defense surrendered a pair of scores, A.J. Green was able to make plays in front of Champ Bailey, and nervous tics reached a fever pitch. At least among many fans.
On the sideline — not so much. They'd trailed by 20 points twice and 24 points twice, and rallied back to make it interesting three times and for victory once. A 20-17 deficit? So what? And thus, Manning went about leading the 48th game-winning fourth-quarter drive of his career, completely unruffled by Terence Newman's two interceptions, including one on a pass overthrown by two steps.
'I've certainly been there before," Manning said. "My dad always says, 'Get back to level zero.' You have to erase the play from your mind."
So Manning steps onto the field, the Paul Brown Stadium fans roaring to get their side back into the game — and promptly completes a pass, starting a fourth quarter in which he was a perfect 6-of-6 for 69 yards and two touchdowns. His receivers helped him along, particularly on a pair of third-down catch-and-runs by Eric Decker and Brandon Stokley, each of which helped set up touchdowns.
It isn't just by the numbers that Manning can be measured — although they were impressive in the aft 15 minutes. It's the coolness he exudes that rubs off on everyone around him, and makes them just as likely to make a game-changing play as he is. Thus, Decker takes a short pass, breaks two tackles, and turns a three-yard gain into a 30-yarder.
"There's no panic," Stokley said. "You're going to have some ups and some downs. That's our mindset."
And unless the Broncos fall into a 28-3 hole, they'll shrug and say, "Meh, we've seen worse." And respond accordingly. It's like Keith Bishop, an offensive lineman in the 1980′s, said as "The Drive" began: "We've got 'em right where we want 'em!" That same ethos holds true with Manning at the controls; because of that, this team could soar long into the winter.
I always find it fascinating to hear players talk about the accomplishments of themselves and their teammates on the record. Many are quick to downplay their own stellar moments, but will salute a teammate for making it possible.
When you talk to Denver's cornerbacks, you'll often hear that it's the pass rush that makes their improving play possible. When you speak with pass rushers like Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil, they'll remind you it's strong coverage in the secondary that sets them up for sacks.
"Well, that's how it's supposed to be," said Bailey, who intercepted his first pass in 364 days Sunday. "When we talk about our successes, it's supposed to be the other group. Not your group. Those guys up front, they had them rattled. I think on my pick, the quarterback (Andy Dalton) was a little rattled. They're the ones that cause us to make plays on the back end."
Dalton was rattled by pressure, which came on third-and-25 and led to a duck that sailed into Bailey's grasp. Pressure made the difference there, but coverage helped set up most of Denver's five sacks, including one where Miller bull-rushed Cincinnati's Andre Smith into oblivion — no small task given Smith's 335-pound girth. Miller pushed Smith back, then cut back inside before the 2009 first-rounder could respond, recording the easiest of his three sacks.
"They were able to lock down A.J. Green — well, they didn't lock him down completely, but they were able to give us time to rush the passer," said Miller, "and whenever you can get time to do you job, you've got to get there, and that's what we did today."
Only the Flying Wallendas worked on more of a tightrope between glory and disaster than the Broncos' new primary kickoff and punt returner. Frankly, that's part of the fun of the 5-foot-5 Holliday, who in scoring the longest touchdown in Broncos history showed the kind of acceleration that intrigued them when the Texans placed him on waivers last month.
"I started bouncing it outside, and they overplayed the outside," said Holliday, when asked to describe what he saw on the 105-yard return that put Denver in front 17-3. "Then I saw the hole on the inside and I just hit it. I passed the first wave and that was it."
However, later in the third quarter, he misjudged a kickoff that bounced at the 2-yard-line, then hesitated before trying to field it, which forced Lance Ball to alertly turn around and retrieve it, but led to confusion that ended with the ball at the Denver 1. This, like the fumbled punt in Week 6 at San Diego, appears to be part of the wild ride.
Nevertheless, the threat of an explosive play is just one more weapon in a steadily growing arsenal that could power the Broncos to their best season since back-to-back Super Bowl trips in 1997 and 1998 — teams which were also burnished by returners with breakaway capabilities: Darrien Gordon on punt returns and Vaughn Hebron on kickoffs. They combined for four touchdowns over those two years. Holliday might match that total by himself in less time — but he'll have to learn how to curb the flirtations with disaster before the Broncos can truly be at ease enough to send him, and not Jim Leonhard, back to return punts inside their 10 when simply catching the football is the highest priority.
But if Holliday keeps making big plays, he's worth the risk.

Hang tight!
Recipe by ANNE
"This sounds absurdly simple but is wonderful, especially when really great Italian meats and cheeses are used; but it really jazzes up routine lunch meats on a sub, too. I highly recommend the addition of a good dollop of Holland House hot cherry pepper relish. It's heavenly - had it at a sub shop on Boylston Street in Boston in the 70's and dreamed about it for years. Finally discovered it at an Italian grocery in Seattle and was thrilled to discover that same fabulous flavor. Try it, you'll love it!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons
Italian seasoning
2 cloves
garlic, halved
salt and pepper to taste
I had been looking for a recipe for the oil they use on subs and this was great. My only complaint is that I stored it in the refrigerator and the oil congeals. Heat it up a bit in the microwave to solve the problem. Much cheaper than the oils for subs you can buy ready made in the stroes.
This was okay. I didn't have a glass jar, so I steeped in a plastic bowl with a lid, and that may not have been a good idea. The flavors really didn't blend together all that great. Again, that was probably all me, and I will try this again using glass next time. Also I just made regular subs, and not italian subs. I'm sure this would've been awesome on Italian subs. There will be a next time for this dressing, I will just be sure to follow directions a bit better.

Great! But not what Johnny Carino's serves (I used to work there). They just add baked minced garlic to extra virgin olive oil. This is better than that for a sandwich spread!
This is a great recipe. I use it for dipping bread in with Italian meals. I used dried garlic and crushed it. So good. I've been looking for a recipe like they use at Johnny Carino's and this is it!!!!
We welcomed the idea of homemade subs after all the various burgers we consumed this past Memorial Day weekend. We were even more delighted with this oil/dressing! It "made" the subs! I will not lose this recipe! Its toooooo good!
I made this for Faceless Frenzy July 2012 - it had been in my recipe box for a long time - over all this is very tasty but it also needs some red wine vinegar. This would also make a tasty dipping oil for some crusty bread.
This is GREAT!! Of course I had to mess around with it, so I added 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and a little sugar...and a lot more garlic. This basic easy recipe is FANTASTIC, thanks for sharing.
Wonderful results for such a simple recipe! I scaled this recipe down so that I wouldn't have to store leftover oil. It still worked great. Made for very tasty sandwiches! I put it on the bread and on the lettuce so there was plenty of flavor on each sandwich. My husband said the sandwiches were better than those we buy at the sub shop.

"[We're] washing them, we have to drop off their weight cards this evening, and just make sure he's eating right, and keep up with his weight, make sure he's not gaining or losing weight," said A&M Consolidated High School Senior Peyton McCleary.
There's a lot of work still to be done.
"Moooo," said Outlaw the Bull
"He's tired," McCleary said.
Kids like Leah Shields have been doing this for a while.
"It just comes naturally I guess. I like how you get to see them from when they're little babies and you feed them and feed them and then they get bigger. It's just really fun to watch them grow and develop," the sixth grader said.
Raising the animals for the livestock show and auction is a chance for youngsters to learn the value of hard work.
'It's worth a shot for everybody," Shields said.
The payoff is worth the effort.
"If you do good, you get some money and it's going to go towards future projects and my college fund to go to Texas A&M," said Shields.

The Clintons are infamous for holding a grudge, and with Hillary looking like a prohibitive front-runner for the party's presidential nomination in 2016, prominent Democrats who supported Barack Obama in 2008 are racing to settle their debts now and make their support for Clinton known early.
And it's not just run-of-the-mill Obama supporters, but the ones whose support for the young insurgent in 2008 felt like major betrayals to the Clintons. In their book HRC, journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes detail how one of the last acts of the defeated Clinton campaign was to finalize a "hit list" of Democrats who were disloyal, with the degree of treachery ranked from one to seven.
And there's an almost perfectly inverse correlation between the severity of the blow dealt to Clinton in 2008 and the quickness and eagerness of Democratic VIPs to back her now—the worse the knock then, the bigger and earlier the boost now. Some started more than two years before the Iowa caucuses are held in early 2016.
To be fair, much of this is likely genuine, as Clinton has much more experience today than she did in the middle of 2006, and she is in a stronger position politically. One longtime Clinton friend, who broke with the couple and is now returning to the fold, joked that he should start the "People Formerly Mad at Hillary Club." But much of it may be driven by a desire to avoid remaining an enemy to someone who could soon occupy the White House.
Here are some of the Clinton betrayers who are now behind Clinton 2016:
- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid—CRIME: Secretly advising Obama to run for president against Clinton in 2006, according to journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin in their book Game Change. PENANCE: While Reid hasn't formally endorsed Clinton, he told the PBS Newshour in December that if elected president, she'd "handle things probably even better" than her husband. In November, he said, "Hillary Clinton may have a bigger fan than Harry Reid; I just don't know who it would be."
- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi—CRIME: Secretly supporting Obama, earning a rebuke from Clinton donors. PENANCE: Pelosi hasn't endorsed either, but she told USA Today that if Clinton runs, "she would win" and that "she'd be the best-prepared person to enter the White House in decades, with all due respect to her husband, present company, and other presidents."
- Sen. Chuck Schumer—CRIME: Secretly urging Obama to run, despite being from the same state as Clinton, per Game Change. PENANCE: Endorsing Clinton in November, saying 2016 is her time.
- Sen. Claire McCaskill—CRIME: McCaskill became particularly loathed in Clintonland for publicly supporting Obama early and saying of Bill Clinton, "I think he's been a great leader but I don't want my daughter near him." PENANCE: Becoming the first sitting member of Congress to endorse Ready for Hillary, the pro-Clinton super PAC, in June 2013 and helping it raise money.
- Sen. Tim Kaine—CRIME: Giving Obama a key boost as the first governor outside of his home state to endorse him. PENANCE: Writing an op-ed and giving a speech in the early primary state of South Carolina to announce that he'll be one of the first senators to endorse Ready for Hillary.
- Kennedy Family—CRIME: The late Sen. Edward Kennedy's defection to Obama was a particularly painful blow to the Clintons, who have a long relationship with the distinguished family. PENANCE: Caroline Kennedy, now the U.S. ambassador to Japan, made a big splash when she endorsed Clinton in April.
- Rep. John Lewis—CRIME: The civil-rights icon switched his support from Clinton to Obama in 2008, which especially stung Bill. PENANCE: Lewis paid a visit to a Costco in Northern Virginia this month where Clinton was signing books to urge her to run.
- Sen. Dick Durbin—CRIME: The No. 2 Senate Democrat backed Obama over Clinton. PENANCE: Hosting a Ready for Hillary fundraiser and endorsing the group.
- Sen. Barbara Boxer—CRIME: Secretly urging Obama to run. PENANCE: Privately urging Clinton to run. Boxer organized a letter, later made public, signed by all 16 Democratic women in the Senate urging Clinton to run in 2016. She's also helping Ready for Hillary.
- Rep. Jim Moran—CRIME: Privately promising he'd support Hillary, only to recant and support Obama. Also, saying he'd like to punch Bill Clinton in the nose. PENANCE: The retiring congressman says he's now a strong supporter of the Clintons and that "they have forgiven me far faster than I would have."
- Rep. Chris Van Hollen—CRIME: The former chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee told MSNBC in January that he wasn't sure why he earned a seven rating on the hit list. PENANCE: He continued, "I'm a huge supporter of Hillary Clinton.… I've indicated that I would be a supporter of Hillary Clinton if she runs."
- Rep. Robert Andrews—CRIME: Andrews said in 2008 that Clinton's campaign has "racial overtones that indeed disturb me." PENANCE: Andrews, who recently retired, told The Hill, "I will fully and enthusiastically support Secretary Clinton if, as I hope, she is a candidate for president in 2016."
- Hollywood—CRIME: Many of Los Angeles's largest Democratic donors went in for Obama early, neutralizing one of Clinton's biggest advantage over the relatively unknown senator. PENANCE: Super donor Jeffrey Katzenberg personally assured Clinton he'd support her, if she runs. David Geffen, another key Obama booster, is also on board, as are a Who's Who of the town's donors.
The list goes on, from local county party chairmen and activists in New Hampshire and Iowa to backbench congressmen, donors, political strategists, and even former presidents to whom Clinton is not married.
In fact, the support from the party's bold names is so close to universal that it would be difficult for a Barack Obama to find any traction among Democratic leadership.
