FORT WAYNE — A high-speed chase that began in Fort Wayne ended at the Whitley-Allen County Line Tuesday.
Whitley County's Sheriff deputies were called to assist Fort Wayne's Police Department after the pursuit headed toward Columbia City on U.S. 30.
The deputies set up stop sticks near CR 300 E., but the suspects, Pedro Garza and Luis Juarez-Cabrera, turned north on County Line Road before being apprehended by Fort Wayne police.
SOUTH WHITLEY — High utility bills? Some residents of South Whitley believe the rates appearing on their monthly utility statements are higher than average. In fact, one resident appeared at the town council meeting Tuesday night to voice her concern over an increasing utility bill.
Town council members wanted to know just where utility rates stood in relation to covering costs and preparing for future upgrades.
COLUMBIA CITY — The wind blew hard, but Columbia City pushed back.
On June 29 of this year, a violent wind storm powered its way through Columbia City. The tempest left a trail of damage in its wake, including downed trees. For many towns, the clean-up effort could have been a marathon. However, Columbia City Tree Board President Ken Lundquist said that the work has been "excellent," and thanked the City Electric Department for its input in the project.
Those participating in the most recent www.thepostandmail.com Online Poll said "No" to legalizing marijuana in Indiana because they deem it "a gateway drug."
Forty-five percent of respondents voted "no" on the legalization question.
However, 38 percent voted in favor of legalization because "it will increase revenue for the state."
Meanwhile, 13 percent said marijuana "should be decriminalized, not legalized."
Additionally, 4 percent voted "I don't care what the state does."
More than 100 votes were recorded in the poll.
COLUMBIA CITY — The Columbia City Board of Works and Safety moved Tuesday to begin work on storm sewers before Phase II of the Line Street Project begins next year.
Wigent Excavation was awarded the bid for $41,045, and should begin work immediately, according to Jeff Walker, Community Development Director for Columbia City.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's Common Council met Tuesday and among other agenda items, discussed some changes to personnel policy for city employees. Among the most talked about changes were a policy require employees to wear identification badges while they are on duty and rules regarding smoking locations at city buildings.
The identification policy is in place, according to Mayor Ryan Daniel, so that residents can have confidence that the people working with them are city employees. Council member Bill Simpson said that the policy would not be necessary for officers in uniform.
FORT WAYNE — Jessica Harrison, a Columbia City High School graduate, works as a disc jockey for 106.3 clickhop.com — but she didn't interview for the job in a traditional way.
A contest was held earlier this year to find a co-host for the radio morning show, "Nugget in the morning." Harrison turned in a video which was voted on by friends, family and the station's listeners.
COLUMBIA CITY — The Center for Whitley County Youth recently received a grant of $45,000 from the Dekko Foundation. The grant will be used to further The Center's Building Hope project.
Jeff Wike, The Center's executive director, said the project is just over the half-way mark to its goal of raising $210,00.
In December of 2011, The Center was able to purchase its building debt free. Owning the building free and clear means the organization eliminated $10,000 a year in rent payments.
Pizza Hut-WingStreet in Columbia City is offering yummy Christmas wishes to its customers and to all readers of The Post & Mail.
"Joy, Hope, Love, Peace, Health and Harmony," are the Christmas wish toppings offered by Pizza Hut-WingStreet employees. "Who says you can't have it all? Merry Christmas and many thanks for your loyal patronage. We look forward to seeing you soon!"
The popular restaurant is famously located at U.S. 30 and Ind. 9 in Columbia City. It has become "holiday party central" for many area families. Telephone number is 260 248-2566 if you prefer carry out or delivery.
SOUTH WHITLEY – A conflict of interest made choosing a trash contractor "really tough."
"This is a tough decision," said Council President Tony Starkey. "These guys are both friends of mine." Starkey was referring to town council member Steve Smith and his associate with Whitley Environmental.
Smith removed himself from all discussion as well as the final vote on trash collection bids due to his personal tie with one of the companies vying for the right to collect South Whitley's trash.

Due to the background of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the half-Chechen half-Avar brothers who bombed the Boston marathon, many Americans are suddenly very interested in the tortured history of the North Caucasus. I can't credibly claim to be an expert on the multitudinous ethnic and linguistic groups that populate the area, so if you're looking for in-depth analysis of Chechen politics, a data-driven account of the economics of Dagestan, or a blow-by-blow account of the past 20 years of the region's history you should look somewhere else. If you're still wondering "where in God's name is Chechnya?" or "why are the Russians and the Chechens fighting in the first place?" I would enthusiastically recommend this Max Fisher piece which does an able job of presenting the relevant issues in a fair and succinct manner.
However, knowing a little bit about Soviet and Russian history generally, I did want to comment on the broader issue of Chechen terrorism and Chechnya's habitually violent struggle for independence. Many accounts of Chechnya, such as this ostentatiously one-sided piece from Thor Halvorssen (which accomplishes the truly remarkable feat of summarizing recent Russian-Chechen history without mentioning the Beslan school massacre) all but suggest that Russian imperialism and oppression justify Chechen terrorism and violence. After all, the Russians have done any number of awful things to the Chechens since they first tried to take control of the region in the 19th century: they deported them en masse to Central Asia, they've installed a vicious puppet regime, and they've arbitrarily arrested, tortured, and murdered innocents. As Halvorssen said, "Chechnya has been ripped apart by Russian aggression for centuries." Considering all of that, it almost seems natural for the Chechens to resort to violence. How else could they struggle against someone as evil as Putin? What else do you expect them to do?
But, of course, "being oppressed by the Russians" is actually an extraordinarily poor predictor of violent behavior. Any number of countries in Eastern Europe suffered terribly at the hands of the Russians. Hundreds of thousands of Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, and Poles were dispatched to the Gulag (most during the same timeframe as the Chechen deportation), and countries as varied as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Bulgaria were crushed beneath the Soviet jackboot for decades. The Germans also had just a few small qualms against the Russians, what with the mass rapes that accompanied the post-war occupation of their country. The crimes Russians committed in these countries were almost identical to those that they perpetrated in Chechnya. The Russians installed pliant client regimes, they systematically used torture, and, when other methods failed, they often resorted to murder. The Russians ruled over an empire that stretched for thousands of miles and they ruled this empire in a thoroughly vicious maner. If you sat down and tried to list all of the ethnic groups they repressed, you would cover virtually every group in Europe except the English, the French, the Dutch, the Italians, and the Spanish.
With such a long list of grievances and such deplorable conduct on the part of the Russians, it would have been perfectly understandable if any one of a dozen countries in Central and Eastern Europe waged a violent armed struggle for independence. And yet, in great contrast to Chechnya, all of these other countries struggled for independence non violently. They didn't abduct Russian soldiers and slit their throats, they didn't incinerate schoolchildren, and they didn't take hostages at gunpoint. Instead, they made a lot of speeches, wrote editorials, and demonstrated. The near-total non violence of the anti-communist revolutions of 1989 was one of their most recognizable and laudable features, and showed that, with patience and persistence, even the most unbending of regimes could change.
The non-violence of the anti-Soviet movement in Eastern Europe does not reflect a deep, unchanging, or eternal truth about any of the ethnic groups involved. Back in the day Lithuanians, known today for being somewhat dour and unassuming, were famous for being violent pagans, and the stereotypes associated with ethnicities always change. Yesterday's war-loving German becomes today's "Euroweenie." The non-violence reflected not the inherent "goodness" of people involved, but a number of deliberate and calculated decisions. There was nothing fated about the non-violence of the movements for Baltic independence and there was no unseen force which mandated a peaceful outcome. But the political leaders of the time (accurately!) understood that non-violence was the only way to achieve a decent outcome, and they studiously eschewed violent means of political persuasion. Political leaders across Eastern Europe made similar determinations. The Chechen leadership made a very different choice, opting for a war of independence against the Russians that almost immediately descended into criminality, nihilism, and depraved violence, with both sides in the conflict seemingly waging a competition to see who could be the most brutal.
The Caucasus doesn't offer any simple answers or easy truths. But for this brief moment that people are paying attention to Chechnya, it's worth remembering that the violence there doesn't simply "happen," it always reflects a deliberate choice from people possessed of agency. I fully sympathize with the Chechens' evident desire to be free of Russian domination and can easily grasp the many reasons why fighting seems justified. But while such a choice is understandable, it should be understood as a choice, and not as the inevitable outcome of Russian imperialism.

The Lenovo Think Pad W510 is a bulky, heavy set notebook. it has a 15.6 inch display with LED backlighting. It has a high performance workstation type processor, nVidia Quadro FX880 mobile graphics unit and workstation style features like in built color calibration. Obviously the price of this Think Pad is marked to be $2929.
As it has only a mobile GPU for its huge size, it cannot be used as a gaming powerhouse. The modern games are not effective and they stagger at the 1080 pixel resolution. The DVD playback is not exceptional. DVD upscalling is soft even on using the nVidia control panel. The HD 1080 pixel WMV format videos also looked washed out.The audio output is excellent with the lack of Bass. The stereo imaging is accurate. The sound is not very loud even when the volume Is kept at its maximum level.
Though it is not meant for gamers, it is suitable for graphics professionals. The CAD and content creation applications require both high processor performance and graphics. The laptop does not produce excessive heat or noise when running applications that demand CPU performance. It uses a 9 cell battery that provides 3 hours and 43 minutes power.
W510 supports Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth, built in mobile broadband and gigabit Ethernet connectivity. There are analog VGA and Display ports to handle the analog/digital display outputs.
There are 3 USB ports, display output ports and a mini port for IEEE 1394a on the left side of the notebook. The right side has the optical drive, audio port,5 in 1 flash card slot and ExpressCard slot. It has a USB 3.0 port at the back and 2 USB 2.0 ports at the right. It also has a USB/eSATA combo port.
The display has LED backlights, XRite's Huey Pro color calibration software and a built in color calibration sensor. The process of color calibration is very simple. You need to launch the application and click on the next button. Now you will have to close the lid until 3 beeps are heard. The color appeared correct in image editing applications. The LCD display has poor vertical viewing angles while the horizontal viewing angles are average.
There is no Blu-ray burner in W510 and therefore you will have to use a system equipped with Blu-ray or connect an external Blu-ray writer through USB when authoring HD discs.
The documentation software is also limited with a 60 day trail version of Microsoft Office and Corel applications such as Corel DVD Movie Factory and WinDVD.
W510 is a sturdy notebook with solid processor performance and good graphics. There are advantages like color calibration and USB 3.0 port. It also has some lacking features and is expensive. It is an excellent choice for customers seeking good overall performance.

Former Johnson County Commissioner John Winchester Matthews could be granted parole from a four-year prison term by New Year's Eve, according to data available through the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Matthews pled guilty July 17 to felony counts of abuse of position, falsifying records and theft. District Judge John Neill sentenced him to two 4-year concurrent terms in prison and at least five years probation. Matthews arrived last week at the James "Jay" Byrd Correctional Unit in Huntsville.
In addition to the three felony counts in his guilty plea, Matthews also faced six other felony counts.
Matthews, 49, could be incarcerated for as little as 168 days on the three felony counts, according to information available at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's website. He would first become eligible for parole Dec. 31. He's projected to be released May 21, 2014, the website says. If Matthews completed his full sentence, he would not be released until July 16, 2016.
Matthews had no prior criminal record.

Yo, wanna see some stuff that has happened recently? Mmmkay.
We get a kick out of fat burgers.
This is our leftover wedding cake that my parents brought down. In case you didn't notice, it is ALSO MASSIVE. It was fun to try to embark on that adventure. However, we definitely didn't even make a dent.
This was picture-worthy just because I used REAL parmesan cheese and GRATED it. It was magic.
Do you like my cute shower curtain? After 2 months of living here I finally got my own up!
My Las Vegas souvenir... even though I'm not exactly a tourist anymore. I needed a hotpad anyway, and because they make just about everything Las vegas style, I got one!
That's our life in February.
It's been delicious.

I dont see any issue, just roll an alt. Only the content locusts are mad.

And factional alliances have existed in the lore before
Such as
nords, orcs and dwemer vs dumer
Altmer and bosmer vs men
Everyone vs dunmer
Everyone vs redguards
Humans, argonians and khajit vs ayelids and bosmer
Whole of tamriel vs akavari races
Redguards and bretons vs orcs
Orcs and argonians vs dunmer
Some of these happening between the single player games.
Yes someone made something up and called it lore, thats how fiction works.
TES is full of things some consider hard to swallow, just look at cyrodiil, was a jungle according to lore and didn't change until oblivion, where suddenly its like medieval europe, how was that explained? like this....
"'You have suffered for me to win this throne, and I see how you hate jungle. Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you.'"
A sentence in a book. Which now they are going to have to add another sentence explaining why it changed from medieval europe to jungle in the first place (my money says sheogorath did it).
"The Orsimer also have relatively strong historical ties with the Bretons of High Rock. The reasons for this are unclear, yet the relationship most likely originated because the races are cohabitating the same region."
The way I see the orcs and bretons are like the british and the french, We have warred plenty, we kinda don't like each other much but will work together when its in both our interests.
And yes you could be right, that not every orc would be part of the faction, and tbh who's to say there wont be the odd npc from the opposite faction? But I don't think it would be common to see someone from a nation we are at all out war with, which it would be if you could roll an orc on an opposing faction.
Yea not every orc agrees with the "alliance"... theres even an orc whos a deadra worshiper somewhere... and theres a whole house from the dunmer that didnt join the "Great moot" (or ebon heart) either.
And I bet you'll see plenty of other faction npcs... traitors, spies, refugees, etc.
This "faction lock is bad qq" will stop when the game comes out anyway... the day people realize they have a lot more than they can chew on their side, let alone have time or "brain" to even think about how the other faction's trees are...

Great, NPC Orcs, Elves, Humans...whatever. I want an Orc character that FIGHTS AGAINST the Bretons and their aliance. I want to freedom to determine what MY character wants to fight for. If I cannot make a character that is a blank template to become whatever I want them to become then the game is not a TES game. Simple as that.

Dont play it. lol... easy.
Well you right its not a normal tes game, its an mmo set in the same ip, my guess is tes7 will come in about 2/3 years.
You are still able to create char to become whatever you like, your restrictions are mainly geographic, much like they are in other tes titles, but in this game you have choice to visit other areas and experience the world/story from a different perspective rather than just having one perspective.

They just can't figure out a way to gracefully 'fess up. Hence Schick trying to spackle over all the inherent problems of these groupings in the backstories.
Now if they're real clever, they'll include all sorts of stories with nasty internal stresses, backstabbing, and intra-faction connivance.

The things happening in TES series are believable IMO, while the faction lock in ESO seems like a knee-jerk response to needing 3 races per faction for a DAoC-esque RvR end game. They just said, "we want a 3 faction endgame," and then, "how about 3 races per faction and make up something to please the masses on why they're teamed up together"

There's still plenty of time before release. Look at EQNext, they scrapped the original project and started over.
In short, you have a defeatest attitude where you just roll over and become victim, or your just really a fan of the game as is and want other people to shut up and stop complaining about it, which is just a double standard.

I don't see how warring factions is hard to believe, the only argument you can seem to come up with is that it hasn't been like it in a tes game before, that doesn't make it hard to believe. I think restrictions on where you can go at a time of war is fairly realistic, and the fact that certain races that normally don't work together are is also realistic when you think about the fact thats its 1k years before the other games.
"The fact that alliances can be made and change multiple times in a millenia is completely ridiculous and you must lack the use of your head to think such a thing possible.....Time traveling dragons? Yeah I'll buy that"
Some of me thinks these "one and true only real tes fans" haven't read the books in game.
There's plenty of history of various factions at war.

Incorrect, there is a TON of lore that PROVES there wasnt a 3 dominion fight going on in this time period...this is taking place during the SECOND ERA and judging by their announcement that we will be able to procliam an emperor by taking and holding the PvP lands, it means that it is taking place AFTER 2E 430, the year the last potentate is assissinated leaving no HEIRs and thus an empty throne...yet, according to lore, there are NO WARS and at only ONE TIME does someone try to invade Cyrodiil but its stopped at Morrowind...and that is in the year 2E 572 (over 100 years later!), the imperial lands are not invaded again until TALOS AKA Tiber Septim invades at the end of 2E, 897.
If they try some slight of hand and mess with the lore by making it before 2E 430 when the Aldmeri Dominion are fighting the Aleesian order to fit what they are making, they are then breaking the lore by allowing a situation where the Imperials can lose, when they didnt, thus basically saying, anything that happens after our DaoC RvR cheap PvP game, like in those TES games, means nothing, because we just changed it all.
Afterall, how can Talos ever become a general in a land that is in chaos from an empty imperial throne, if that throne is taken over by the Dominion and his own lands have long been in captivity thus making him born a servant and altering his life.
Either way TESO is royally effing with TES lore.

The argument isn't that warring factions are hard to believe, at least it isn't with me. The problem is it is totally uneccessary. Lets look at this as if TESO was being discussed for the first time...
OK so we have a basic premise of 3 factions at war fighting over the crown. Lets look at the TES games and see what will work with that...
OK so TES games have historically had Great houses and guilds that players can join. Can we creat a 3 faction war out of that?
Sure, how about we have 3 great houses, lets say a Breton merchant lord, an elven faction and Nord perhaps seeing as Skyrim was the last game.
OK so we have 3 houses fighting for control of the crown. These 3 houses will want allies so that will probably allow us to use guilds, both the normal guilds (like Mage, Fighter, Dark brotherhood and thieves guild, incorporate some of the quests available to do work for a house of the players choosing and slowly building up character progression to getting each player to choose a faction to join) and player run guilds who can sign up for a particular house of their choosing (give the guild house related quests as well so that players can earn guild points to increse their standing in the guild and the house).
OK so we have 3 faction warfare, player run guild quests to serve the houses, NPC run guild quests to serve the houses, all nicely linked together to keep the freedom of choice, the freedom of movement and involvement in the PvP if people so desire.
See why I have a problem believeing this game will be anything more then a bog standard MMO lacking any imagination or creativity....
Seriously, it was piss easy to come up with something that sticks to the current lore, doesn't remove the player freedoms people expect from a TES game, maintain 3 faction warfare and have none of this bullshit caused by their system to have 3 faction warfare fuck around with the PvE. They have been mulling this over since 2007 - 6 years to come up with an atrociously bad design concept that is totally uneccessary. That is the worst thing, it is totally uneccessary to have all these restrictions and could have been done to fit with what TES players expect without ANY issues.
I get that you don't like it, I also understand there were ways they could have done it where we all have access to everything on one character and all faction looked the same etc
And in that theory... does the Breton share the Mages guild with the Nord and the Elf? You and your enemies constantly cross paths but because its a safe haven, theres no fighting? Thing is... you and your enemies share the same guild? What the... what?
This isnt wow... you dont go deliver quests where the Orc is delivering his... theres no "dalaran"... no safe haven. Want to stay safe? Stay at home. You know... behind your borders. Where THEY cant go.
Plus there will be more than enough pve content shared in cyrodiil as well...
I dont see how this is such a tough concept for ppl that didnt play DAoC... seriously. Is this really that hard? Why are we discussing something that makes perfect sense?

Build your own world, and you can come up with some (strained) excuses for this. The problem is they want to appeal to Elder Scrolls fans, who kinda expect a somewhat Elder Scrolls consistant world. They can't let other opposing races wander about, because that would lead to asshat gankers. They have to have three factions with contiguous land. They just went and divvied up the map, and tried to come up with an excuse.
It's a meta game decision that made things much easier for the developers. But they are working with an established background, which makes some of their choices rankle. Doesn't mean I won't play, if it is good. But it is definitely a fudged set up to fit their defined mechanic.

The Parks and Community Services Commission, along with a Citizens Committee, chose three of six event scenarios to research before presenting an analysis to the Parks Commission on Oct. 10. Residents were invited to comment on and vote for each concept.
"We are not at a position to have all the details, right now we are in concept phase," said Division Manager Esther Lucas.
Below are the chosen concepts, in order of popularity:
- Scenario No. 4: An event like the 2011 celebration, which includes a gathering at Central Park and an aerial fireworks show. Estimated cost $318,000.
- Scenario No. 1: A centralized event at Central Park similar to the 2012 celebration, along with an aerial fireworks display at a separate location to be determined. This concept would necessitate a significant time buffer between the park event and fireworks show, at an estimated cost of $318,000.
- Scenario No. 2: A centralized event at Central Park similar to the 2012 celebration, including a concert in the park and tribute to veterans. Estimated cost $41,580.
Despite cost and safety concerns, several residents said they wanted to see an aerial fireworks show next year.
"I really don't care if I don't see another firework go off for the rest of my life, but it's about the kids," said Dougherty Valley resident Kurt Vierra." Since1995 we've had a routine: we go do something in the morning, usually the fun run, then to the parade in Danville, the come back relax, barbeque, then go down watch the fireworks. I would really like to find ways for that to come back I think this community needs it, its something we've become accustomed to."
But having a centralized firework viewing location may not be necessary, said Commissioner Will Doerlich.
"Half of the residents watch the fireworks from some other location, whether it's from the Iron Horse Trail, the top of the hill from the golf course," he noted. "So a central location was not necessarily key to having the fireworks, more of a location that was accessible and visible to everyone."
Two residents, including 17-year-old Mischa Fritz, said they do not go to the park to watch the fireworks and favor casual gatherings at neighborhood parks.
"I have never actually gone to Central Park event, I've only watched it from Morgan Drive," the Cal High senior said. "I think we could also have better success and less public safety issues., so event No. 1 is the best out of all these issues."
Citizen Committee Member Joe Inderlum spoke in favor of scenario No. 2, the sans-fireworks celebration.
"I feel that it's a lot safer, less parking (issues) and I went home and I turned my television set on, and watched San Francisco, D.C. or Boston from the comfort of our home," Inderlum said. "If they had no fireworks, they would save approximately $277,000 for 20 minutes of entertainment."
Another committee member, Roz Rogoff, said the increased cost (which was budgeted at $175,000 but cost over $300,000) wasn't a result of the fireworks, but a result of necessary additional safety personnel. According to a city packet, nearly all San Ramon Police employees are on hand during the event and are "becoming increasingly stretched thinner relative to these duties."
Approximately 30,000 people attended 2011's fireworks -- compared with 2,000 in 2012 -- and Doerlich said 15,000 to 20,000 people is a manageable crowd for the current police force. In order to stem the attendance problem, the committees have been tasked with making a regional event more San Ramon Valley-oriented.
The committees researched several other municipalities that have fireworks displays -- Livermore, Cupertino and the Alameda County Fairgrounds -- as well as others that had stopped their aerial displays completely. The cities with fireworks displays had put various controls in place to stave off overcrowding and decrease cost.
"We spoke with the police chief, fire department, traffic control as well as the pyrotechnic representatives to understand what other alternatives there may be," Doerlich said.
Livermore cancelled its fireworks several years ago but a public fundraising effort brought them back last year and will be able to fund the 2013 display. The city uses Las Positas Community College as a viewing area and charges between $5 and $20 to come in. Since the location is somewhat bowl-like, residents wanting a good view are forced to pay.
Only one resident, Vierra, said they wouldn't object to paying entrance fees.
Nearby, the Alameda County Fair did not put on a fireworks display for Independence Day, but held events every Friday night for its 100th anniversary. Cupertino held its fireworks display at a centralized viewing location but no audience in that location. The city also had day-long celebrations that stopped before the fireworks display so there was ample time to buffer crowds.
The three selected scenarios will be posted on the city website for the next two weeks and residents will be able to vote for their favorites and post comments. The results will be included in the presentation to the Parks and Community Services Commission on Oct. 10. A presentation will be made to the City Council on Oct. 24.
San Ramon's annual fireworks display was canceled this year due to financial and safety concerns. This year's Independence Day celebration consisted of a 10K, 5K and 3K run, a tribute to veterans and those currently serving, a patriotic concert by the San Ramon Symphonic Band and a show by Pride and Joy, a popular band based in San Francisco.

As the Republicans rose in revolt over the GOP's next-in-linism and the Democratic president won a second term surrounded by potential successors in aging party stalwarts, November's election seemed to finally flip the old Will Rogers quip: "I am not a member of any organized party—I am a Democrat." In truth, however, this was a process that began in earnest with Howard Dean's 50-state strategy as chairman of the DNC. And it is the same process that led to this week's announcement that the actress Ashley Judd will not challenge Mitch McConnell for the latter's Senate seat.
The Judd saga began typically enough. The actress has dabbled in political activism over the last few years in much the same way others in the entertainment industry have: enlisting in the cloudy and creepy cult of Obama. "I think that he is a powerful leader. I think he's a brilliant man. I think that he has an incredible devotion to our constitution, and that he is now able to flower more as the president I knew he could be," Judd said last year. She cut an ad for the president's reelection campaign, rallied for the president, quoted Martin Luther King Jr. to frame the importance of the president's reelection—par for the Obama personality cult course. But then things took a less conventional turn.
Some Democrats started encouraging Judd to run for the Senate from Kentucky. GOP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's seat is up in 2014, and liberals think he's more vulnerable than in past cycles. Following their old Will Rogers instincts, some Democrats saw an entertaining way to blow their chances by nominating a classic Hollywood liberal instead of a conservative Democrat. McConnell's campaign was giddy at the prospect.
At some point the story went from being "hey, wouldn't it be fun if Ashley Judd ran for Senate" to "Ashley Judd is seriously considering running for Senate" and the Dean Democrats panicked. They called in party elders to do something, and party elders called in Bill Clinton to run Judd's budding campaign off the road, which Clinton gladly did. It soon became clear why Democrats feared nominating Judd. "I have been raped twice, so I think I can handle Mitch McConnell," Judd said about the race last month.
Then on Wednesday came the moment national Democrats were waiting for: ABC News reported that Judd announced—"in a series of tweets," naturally—that they could rest easy:
After serious and thorough contemplation, I realize that my responsibilities & energy at this time need to be focused on my family. Regretfully, I am currently unable to consider a campaign for the Senate…. Thanks for even considering me as that person & know how much I love our Commonwealth. Thank you!
Judd's decision not to run—which, it seems from the ABC report, was made for her by Bill Clinton—represents the new Democratic Party, in which discipline is enforced from the top along with a willingness to completely get in line and have party leaders make the decisions. (Witness my earlier post about Democrats who voted for Obamacare expressing shock and disbelief at discovering over the course of three years what was actually in the bill.)
Democrats don't even seem to want a primary fight for the 2016 presidential nomination, preparing instead to pave the way for Hillary Clinton, wife of the previous Democratic president and secretary of state in the current Democratic president's first term. The other plausible challenger for the nomination is the current vice president.
Republicans, on the other hand, tried to nominate anyone but the next in line last time and have no next in line for 2016 unless Paul Ryan runs. And as far as congressional races are concerned, Republicans are the minority in the Senate in large part because the so-called establishment is unable to pick and choose its candidates around the country, ending up with Todd Akin, Christine O'Donnell, Richard Mourdock and the like to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. In fact, these days the lack of establishment money and support is more likely than not to win you the nomination; call yourself a "Tea Party" candidate and watch the primary votes roll in.
That phenomenon of course often yields far better candidates, such as Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey, and Ted Cruz. It connects the party agenda with the zeitgeist of the grassroots, and thus makes a candidate's principles more valuable than his campaign war chest. (This concept is unimaginable to Democrats, as is the idea that political principles can have any intrinsic value beyond their immediate utility in any given election cycle.)
The post-Dean era Democrats have neither the benefits nor the drawbacks of such a state. For 2014, that means no Ashley Judd.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
25:14-30 Christ keeps no servants to be idle: they have received their all from him, and have nothing they can call their own but sin. Our receiving from Christ is in order to our working for him. The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. The day of account comes at last. We must all be reckoned with as to what good we have got to our own souls, and have done to others, by the advantages we have enjoyed. It is not meant that the improving of natural powers can entitle a man to Divine grace. It is the real Christian's liberty and privilege to be employed as his Redeemer's servant, in promoting his glory, and the good of his people: the love of Christ constrains him to live no longer to himself, but to Him that died for him, and rose again. Those who think it impossible to please God, and in vain to serve him, will do nothing to purpose in religion. They complain that He requires of them more than they are capable of, and punishes them for what they cannot help. Whatever they may pretend, the fact is, they dislike the character and work of the Lord. The slothful servant is sentenced to be deprived of his talent. This may be applied to the blessings of this life; but rather to the means of grace. Those who know not the day of their visitation, shall have the things that belong to their peace hid from their eyes. His doom is, to be cast into outer darkness. It is a usual way of expressing the miseries of the damned in hell. Here, as in what was said to the faithful servants, our Saviour goes out of the parable into the thing intended by it, and this serves as a key to the whole. Let us not envy sinners, or covet any of their perishing possessions.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 16. - Went. The one who had received the five talents, the mark of the greatest trust, lost no time, but betook himself to business with zeal and energy. Traded with the same (εἰργάσατο ἐν αὐτοῖς, made gain with them). The verb is applied to husbandry or any work by which profit is obtained. A special method of increasing the allotted sum is mentioned in ver. 27; but here the term is general, and implies only that the slave used the money in some business which would prove to his master's advantage. In other words, he exercised his faculties and powers in his master's service and with a view to his master's interests. Made [them] other five talents. The addition "them" is unnecessary. He doubled his principal - "made" being equivalent to "gained." In the parable of the "pounds" we find the same sum increased in different proportions; here we have different sums multiplied in the same proportion.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Then he that had received the five talents,.... The largest measure of gifts; an account is first given of him, how he behaved, and conducted in his Lord's absence, and what use he made of the gifts bestowed upon him: this must be understood, not of a single man, but of that sort of the servants of Christ, who have the greatest ministerial gifts: he
went; it denotes immediate application to business, and signifies that such servants went according to their commission, preached the Gospel to every creature, and administered the ordinances to proper subjects; they went directly, as soon as they had their talents; they did not stay to consult with flesh and blood, whether it would be for their interest and credit or not; they did not stick at any difficulties and discouragements, nor were deterred by the cross, reproaches, and persecutions; but went forth with courage and boldness, not in their own name and strength, but in the name and strength of Christ, who sent them, and promised them his presence and assistance, on which they depended:
and traded with the same: with the five talents, or their ministerial gifts. The ministers of the Gospel are traders, not in their own name, nor on their own stock, and for themselves, but for Christ, and for the good of immortal souls: they closely attend unto, and work at, their business and employment; by constant reading, and diligent search into the word of God; by studious meditation on it; by frequent prayer; and continual preaching the Gospel, and administering ordinances; and their success follows:
and made them other five talents; that is, increased in spiritual knowledge; gifts were improved and enlarged; a greater stock of divine things were laid in; and many souls gained to Christ: such are they whom Christ has ordained to go forth, and bear and bring forth fruit in their ministry, and whose fruit remain.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
16. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same—expressive of the activity which he put forth and the labor he bestowed.
