Freakishly fast and irresistibly likeable Ted Ligety may be the clear favorite in GS, with a great shot at super combined gold as well.
And fresh-faced world beater Mikaela Shiffrin, at age 18, may be untouchable in slalom, an event she has utterly dominated for the past year (while making big strides in GS).
And feisty, fearless Julia Mancuso may well rise to the occasion as she so often has in big events, snagging one of the shinier medals in GS or super G or even downhill.
Even without the injured Lindsey Vonn, winner of 59 World Cup races, the American alpine racing Olympic team looks one of the strongest ever. The U.S. Ski Team announced its Sochi team Sunday. It includes proven medal winners like Bode Miller, Ted Ligety and Julia Mancuso along with an Olympic newcomer—18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin—who's already demonstrated that she's the woman to beat in slalom and has been making impressive inroads in GS. The Games begin in just two weeks, starting with the men's downhill on Feb. 9 and the women's super combined on Feb. 10.
Warren Miller Entertainment kicks off its 64th film, Ticket to Ride, Friday, Oct. 11 in Salt Lake City. The film, which was shot throughout the world including locations like Kazakhstan, Iceland, Greenland, Colorado, Utah and Alaska, features skiers like Ted Ligety, Sierra Quitiquit, Chris Davenport, Julia Mancuso and more.
"We spent the winter in search of amazing terrain and deep snow, with some of the world's top skiers in some of the world's hardest to access ski locales," says Max Bervy, Warren Miller Entertainment's managing director.
From the department of forgone conclusions: American GS ace Ted Ligety clinched his fourth World Cup GS title Sunday with a win in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia.
Lindsey Vonn, the third-winningest racer in World Cup history, got back into the record-chasing business over the weekend with a win in the downhill at Cortina, Italy, and the American women continued to crowd the top of the speed-event leaderboards.
On the men's side, it was Lauberhorn weekend in Wengen, Switzerland, where Italy's Christof Innerhofer won the tour's longest downhill. Marco Sullivan was the top American finisher in 13th. GS points leader Ted Ligety appeared headed for a second-place finish in the Wengen combined but skied out near the finish of his slalom run.
Just over two weeks ago at World Cup finals in Lenzerheide, Switzerland the Squaw Valley, California native outdistanced her nearest challenger – Swiss favorite Lara Gut - by a colossal eighty-one hundredths of a second to claim the ladies downhill. For Mancuso, it was her first victory on tour in over four years dating back to March 3, 2007, when she won a downhill in Tarvisio, Italy.
Americans Bode Miller (Franconia, NH), Julia Mancuso (Squaw Valley, CA), and Lindsey Vonn (Vail, CO) finished strong in Tuesday's downhill training for the upcoming Audi FIS World Cup speed events at Beaver Creek, CO and Lake Louise, AB this weekend.
On Dec. 3, 4, and 5, the men will compete in Downhill, Super G, and Giant Slalom, respectively, at Beaver Creek's famous Birds of Prey course.

Let me see if I can remember this after using FreeBSD for so long. Are you using iptables? If so, try this:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 23 --to-destination 192.168.0.2 -j DNAT
I hope I got that right. I couldn't remember what port mail goes on so you'll definately have to change the 23.

Matt P wrote:Avery hasn't been hitting well but has been drawing some walks and is on the 40 man.
Tolleson I think is the most likely since Buck seems to really like him and he can play almost anywhere.
Lew Ford would be an interesting call up. He's hitting the cover off the ball and maybe the O's could get lucky and he can stay hot for a week or two while in Baltimore. The 40 man roster is a problem but the O's seem to have no interest in Ryan Adams as a member of the Orioles now or in the future so I don't think it would be a big deal to DFA him.
McLouth hasn't done anything to warrant a call up.
I would call up Lew Ford and hope to catch lightning in a bottle. I think it will be Tolleson though.
Rising O's wrote:That we're once again discussing Ford or Hall as a replacement shows how much failure there has been in the player development process.
TuckerBlair89 wrote:yea I'm not quite sure what they are doing with Ryan Adams. He's now even losing playing time to players such as Blake Davis at AAA.
Rising O's wrote:That we're once again discussing Ford or Hall as a replacement shows how much failure there has been in the player development process.
But, the real answer is Joe Mahoney. He can play some in left, 1B, DH. A hot June and he looks like he's ready.
Matt P wrote:Lew Ford is hitting like .370 why would he not be an option? No one is saying he is an everyday starter or would even stay in the big leagues for an extended period of time. The only reason most people would want him called up is to try and catch lightning in a bottle and see if he can't stay hot for a few weeks in Baltimore.

SamiPennsylvaniaA Very Good Product !!!I think this is an excellent product. I previously tried an Emjoi Optima and that worked almost as well, but was corded only. This Gold Caress unit works better than the Optima, and has the convenience of cordless operation; plus the styling of the Gold Caress makes it much easier to handle. (It also works corded.) I would highly recommend this product, but caution anyone not familiar to this type of hair removal, that it is NOT painless, even though this unit is the best Ive tried, and DOES minimize the discomfort. Using this product is essentially the same as manual tweezing, but hundreds of times faster. My advice would be if you find it too painful to remove individual hairs with a tweezer, then you should avoid this type of epilator. In fact, removal of coarse hairs for the very first time would be better done by manual tweezing before graduating to this produt. My opinion is that tweezing is,by far, the best way to remove hair, and the Gold Caress is the best way to tweeze.posted Nov 22, 2004Link to this post

Marvin MarshallOmaha, NebraskaSure It StingsThis product does exactly what it is designed to do. I love mine and will order a second in case you ever stop selling them! I "was" a hairy man and I now use it all over my body. My wife constantly borrows it to use on her legs.Yes! The first time you use it, IT HURTS! Thats a lot of hair to pull out all at once. Use Ambolsol or some other babys teeth cutting numbing solution. Goodness! If you cant stand some discomfort why do you worry about how you look anyway. The more often you use it the less it hurts, really! I used to have to shave with a blade twice a day. Now I use my Emjoi about once a week. My skin is as smooth as a babys butt. PROBLEMS: Keep clean, charge battery regulary, dont put the top on backward. Those are my faults and not the machines. 5 stars!posted Nov 16, 2004Link to this post

KitEnglandThe Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me...Thank you Emjoi! Over the last 3 and 1/2 years you have saved me £1344 and given me the freedom to enjoy complete hairlessness all the time. Dont have to turn down trips to the beach because its the week before my monthly waxing visit and Im covered in prickles! Emjoi hurts initially and will always hurt a little on sensitive skin (but nothing like waxing) - but on main hair removal areas, lower leg and arms I feel little or no pain and it has transformed my confidence in my body. Only someone with reasonably heavy body hair could really appreciate just how wonderful it is to have absolute control of your depilation. I now have just a third of the hair growth on my lower leg and other areas are getting noticeably thinner. After 6 months of using my first emjoi gold I thought I would be super efficient and buy a second one so that if the first one broke I would never be without one - guess what? Its still in the package safely stored away!! 3 1/2 years down the road the first one is still going strong. Its a wonderful product, I dont think anyone could do better if theyre looking for complete removal from the root and an end to shaving rashes. Thank you so very much!posted Sep 9, 2004Link to this post

CCaliWon't Last Long!Ok, first of all...epilating hurts! So, expect that and dismiss the reviews that complain of pain. My problem with this machine is that it broke just after the warranty ran out (a little over a year from purchase date). First, it would only work cordless and on a full charge. Yup, it wouldnt work when plugged in. Then, that cordless power time dropped to minutes (not a whole lot of time to get much done!). Now, the motor is locked up and nothing happens works.1 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

DonnaMassachusettsEmjoi Gently Gold Rechargeable Hair Removal SystemThe first time using it was rather painful, however I was told that this was normal and that after the first it gets easier which it certainly did. The regrowth is much lighter and softer. I no longer get razor burn. It does take longer to shave as you do have to go over areas a few times, however you dont need to shave as often.posted Aug 7, 2004Link to this post

ChrisLeave It AloneAfter trying this product for 5 seconds I came to the conclusion that its almost impossible to use without feeling like you have just been tortured by your worst enemy.. The pain and discomfort is just to overwhelming for anybody to get any enjoyment out of this product.. Anyone who says this product is great must have reptillian skin of some kind.. Because this just does not suit a human.. It takes off the hair but to much pain is involved doing it, I suggest knowbody buys this product or any other product like this.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review wasn't helpful.

MelissaOuch!This product was not nearly as gentle as the description led me to believe it would be. Even the lower setting is painful for sensitive areas like face and underarms. As a first time user, I found the unit akward and inefficient. I had to cover the same area several times to completely remove all the hair. The first day, I spent almost an hour at it, only working on the lower portion of one leg, and even then I couldnt get all of the hair removed before the battery petered out. I also found it very difficult to position the unit properly for reaching all the curves of my underarms. It did work well for the hairs on my upper lip and chin, leaving them extremely smooth. But again, it was rather tedious and painful and the hairs are already growing back! Maybe this is typical, but Id rather just go get waxed. At least I know that will be fast!posted Apr 24, 2004Link to this post

Jamie HarmonWow"Wow!! This is one terrific product! (Gently Gold) whoever designed this one took the time to get it right. Its fast. It gets all the hair (long & short), and it never gets caught in the hair or pinches or tears the skin. When the package arrived, I opened it immediately and decided to give it a quick test. Fifteen minutes later I had removed all my bothersome facial hair, leg hair, bikini hair, and underarm hair. This was beyond what I expected and exactly what I hoped for. Keep up the good work!!!"posted Feb 27, 2004Link to this post

Model-data-comparison, Lesson 2
In January, we presented Lesson 1 in model-data comparison: if you are comparing noisy data to a model trend, make sure you have enough data for them to show a statistically significant trend. This was in response to a graph by Roger Pielke Jr. presented in the New York Times Tierney Lab Blog that compared observations to IPCC projections over an 8-year period. We showed that this period is too short for a meaningful trend comparison.
This week, the story has taken a curious new twist. In a letter published in Nature Geoscience, Pielke presents such a comparison for a longer period, 1990-2007 (see Figure). Lesson 1 learned – 17 years is sufficient. In fact, the very first figure of last year's IPCC report presents almost the same comparison (see second Figure).
Pielke's comparison of temperature scenarios of the four IPCC reports with data
There is a crucial difference, though, and this brings us to Lesson 2. The IPCC has always published ranges of future scenarios, rather than a single one, to cover uncertainties both in future climate forcing and in climate response. This is reflected in the IPCC graph below, and likewise in the earlier comparison by Rahmstorf et al. 2007 in Science.
IPCC Figure 1.1 – comparison of temperature scenarios of three IPCC reports with data
Any meaningful validation of a model with data must account for this stated uncertainty. If a theoretical model predicts that the acceleration of gravity in a given location should be 9.84 +- 0.05 m/s2, then the observed value of g = 9.81 m/s2 would support this model. However, a model predicting g = 9.84+-0.01 would be falsified by the observation. The difference is all in the stated uncertainty. A model predicting g = 9.84, without any stated uncertainty, could neither be supported nor falsified by the observation, and the comparison would not be meaningful.
Pielke compares single scenarios of IPCC, without mentioning the uncertainty range. He describes the scenarios he selected as IPCC's "best estimate for the realised emissions scenario". However, even given a particular emission scenario, IPCC has always allowed for a wide uncertainty range. Likewise for sea level (not shown here), Pielke just shows a single line for each scenario, as if there wasn't a large uncertainty in sea level projections. Over the short time scales considered, the model uncertainty is larger than the uncertainty coming from the choice of emission scenario; for sea level it completely dominates the uncertainty (see e.g. the graphs in our Science paper). A comparison just with the "best estimate" without uncertainty range is not useful for "forecast verification", the stated goal of Pielke's letter. This is Lesson 2.

The history of pizza is quite questionable; but nonetheless, whether it's game day and delivery is the only thing fast enough to make it by half-time, or it's foodies discussing the true difference between Chicago and New York style pizza, this dish has definitely stolen our hearts. It serves up starving college kids nationwide, morning and night, and is quite possibly one of the only foods that we can all agree on. From coast to coast, help us raise a glass to toast pizzerias across America.

ALFRED, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- After deliberating through the morning, a jury has found Mark Strong guilty of all charges against him.
Strong was on trial as one of two defendants in the Kennebunk Zumba Prostitution case. He was facing 12 counts of promotion of prostitution and one count of conspiracy.
The prosecution argued that Strong managed the prostitution business allegedly run by Alexis Wright. As evidence, they presented pictures, videos, emails, text messages and phone records. Strong also signed the lease for Wright's zumba studio in Kennebunk.
The defense argued that Strong was merely infatuated with Wright and got no financial gain from their interactions.
Lawyers presented their closing arguments Tuesday afternoon. The judge gave her instructions to jurors and told them to start deliberating Wednesday morning.
Jurors decided the prosecution had the stronger case.
As the 13 charges were read aloud, Mark Strong remained expressionless.
Mark Strong now faces possible jail time. His sentencing date is set for two weeks from Wednesday. Each charge carries a maximum of one year behind bars. He is currently free on personal recognizance bail.

VIDEO> iPhone 4 & Owle at Pike's Peak: 156 Turns
Many of you know about Apple's new iPhone 4. What you may not know is that it now shoots 720HD video! That, my friends, is epic to say the least. While doing some research on one of my favorite directors of photography (Vincent Laforet), I came across this amazing video shot entirely on a iPhone 4, with no color correction from Hoptocopter Films on YouTube. Titled "156 turns," it features Team Ducati Spider Grip's Greg Tracy on a stock Ducati Multistrada during the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb.
I know we normally don't follow much motorcycle racing, but this video is definitely worth watching. 156 Turns captures the power, passion and precision involved in this race. Rhys Millen even makes a powerful statement in the video, "Somebody once asked me if I ever caught air up here….I said, 'no, but if I ever did, I don't think I'd ever come down…'"
All I can say is, great racing, great film making, and DAMN, I want an iPhone 4!

Class of 1965
End; Coach >>> 6-2, 196
1919 Canton Bulldogs (pre-NFL), 1921 Chicago Staleys, 1922-1923 Canton Bulldogs, 1924 Cleveland Bulldogs, 1925-1926 Frankford Yellowjackets, 1927-1928 Chicago Cardinals
Berlin Guy Chamberlin. . .Legendary grid hero at Nebraska. . .Became premier end of the NFL in the 1920s. . . Extremely-durable two-way performer. . .Player-coach of four NFL championship teams: 1922-1923 Canton Bulldogs, 1924 Cleveland Bulldogs, 1926 Frankford Yellow Jackets. . . Six-year coaching record 58-16-7 for a remarkable .759 percentage. . .Born January 16, 1894, at Blue Springs, Nebraska. . .Died April 4, 1967, at age of 73.
Guy Chamberlin played and coached in the earliest years of the National Football League when the only meaningful statistic kept was the teams' won-lost record. Winning was a category in which Chamberlin excelled. Of those coaches with 50 or more victories, Guy's 58-16-7 record and .759 winning percentage ranks among the best.
In his six coaching seasons, five of which were spent as a player-coach, Chamberlin also won four NFL championships for the Canton Bulldogs in 1922 and 1923, the Cleveland Bulldogs in 1924, and the Frankford Yellowjackets in 1926. Although Chamberlin's high school in Blue Springs, Nebraska, was not big enough to field a football team, he became a two-time All-America at the University of Nebraska.
Jim Thorpe, who had always been Chamberlin's idol, lured Guy into pro football with the pre-NFL Canton Bulldogs in 1919. Chamberlin was one of the finest ends of his time. When George Halas began lining up players for his first Decatur Staleys team in 1920, Chamberlin was his prime recruit. He was big, tall and fast, excellent on both offense and defense and a 60-minute player.
After two seasons with Halas and the Staleys, Chamberlin came back to Canton as player-coach of the Bulldogs. Thorpe was no longer with the team but Chamberlin assembled one of the powerhouse elevens of the 1920s. Canton, with undefeated seasons in both 1922 and 1923, became the NFL's first two-time champion. The Bulldogs were sold in 1924 to a Cleveland promoter who added several Bulldogs' players to his Cleveland team. Chamberlin led the rebuilt Cleveland team to the NFL championship.
In 1925, Chamberlin joined the Frankford Yellowjackets and a year later won another NFL title with a 14-1-2 record. Guy concluded his player-only career with the 1927 Chicago Cardinals and as a coach only in 1928 with the Chicago Cardinals.

Heroin is addictive partly because it crosses the blood-brain barrier almost instantly after use, especially when it's injected rather than inhaled.
Methadone is a synthetic opiate that mimicks many of the physical effects of heroin, making it a good support drug for people trying to beat addiction.
Even though the bulk of opioid addicts get their drugs illicitly, a significant number of people become addicted because of normal prescription use.
Locate a clinic or get suboxone from a doctor
Addiction to any substance is a sensitive subject, and we hope the path that led you to our site will also lead you to a safe, healthy recovery. Since January, 2008, our forum, the Suboxone Doctor Help Spot has been a place where patients and potential patients could ask questions, share their stories, and get honest advice and feedback from other people in similar situations. There is no judgment, and privacy is respected.
This summer, we're pleased to announce that we're expanding the site. The forum will still be there, and we encourage you to continue using it, but in addition there will be resources to help you find doctors who specialize in the use of suboxone and addiction recovery. We'll also be sharing articles about different versions of the drug, different therapies being tried, and other information about what's new, interesting, and innovative in this field.
Is there something you'd really love to see us add? Please let us know. Is there a doctor you love or hate? Tell us about them. We want our content to be reflective of the people who have already shared their journeys at the Help Spot, as well as those who are new to the community. Of course, we have to remind you that we're not doctors, and won't be giving any medical advice. What we will give is access to information and the ability connect with other suboxone patients and those who work with them.

Fertilizer firms settle antitrust claims for $97.5 million
January 30, 2013 | Kara Sissell
Agrium, Mosaic, and PotashCorp say they will pay a total of $97.5 million to settle class-action antitrust claims filed in 2008 by direct and indirect potash buyers. Mosaic and PotashCorp will each pay $43.75 million and Agrium will pay $10.0 million. The plaintiffs alleged antitrust violations by the North American producers beginning in 2003. The companies deny wrongdoing, but say the settlement reflects the need to avoid the cost and distraction of a protracted legal battle. "The reality is that we weighed the multiyear effort in time and resources that...

John Kitzhaber has the authority to prevent the execution of Gary Haugen during a hearing in Eugene on Thursday, March 14, 2013. Kitzhaber, who opposes capital punishment, regretted letting two other inmates be put to death and said he won't allow it to happen again. Latto argues that Kitzhaber exceeded his authority when he issued a temporary reprieve for the two-time murderer in 2011, delaying the execution until the governor leaves office.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jefferson from Good Shoes Bought these to replace another pair of Rockports that I was wearing with a work uniform. These are a good looking shoe with a great sole for traction on wet surfaces. They are a little tight around the top but will hopefully loosen as they break in. They are light weight due to not having a metal shank. I just wish they had the rounded toe of my previous shoe instead of the longer square toe. The square toe makes my feet look bigger and makes it difficult to push the accelerator in my car. This is my second pair of Dressports so it's safe to say that I like these shoes.

Rated 2 out of 5 by rockportblues from Not the same company like it was Purchased a pair of dressports, anniello black size 9m. I have worn them one time, and the backs of the shoes dig into my achilles tendon area, very tough to walk in them. I am at a loss of what to do to make them comfortable. I have worn rockports for years, never had an issue, now this, and I just sent back a different pair. oh well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by IronMike from Love these shoes This is my third pair of Rockports (bought at the same time as my fourth pair!). These shoes fit like they were molded around my feet. Very comfortable. This pair specifically is very light. The heels are cushy so that my heels feel great walking in them. I've walked in excess of 3 miles in these shoes without any pain.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jbhh1 from Good shoe, only negatives Good comfortable shoe, however the leather seemed a little less quality than 2 other style Rockports I bought earlier this year. Also I would prefer they not shave off the heel for what they consider easier/better walking as that is where the shoe will wear anyhow.

You really have to work for it, but it's worth it if you can save a chunk of money. But there is one day every year that the work is done for you. When the retail world throws it all out on the table with Black Friday Deals!
Black Friday and it's e-commerce mirror image, Cyber Monday, have become vital days to the retail sector and are even used as economic indicators for the direction that the consumer economy is heading in the United States. Retailers are known to advertise their Black Friday Specials for the day after Thanksgiving Sales offering bottom dollar prices for everything including TVs, computers, cameras, appliances and anything else that will draw a crowd. Lines will form beginning late on Thanksgiving and people will sleep out in the cold to save some substantial dollars on items that usually might be a bit out of their financial reach
Retailers like Wal-Mart, Macy's, Best Buy and many others begin stocking up and advertising for the day as soon as the Halloween decorations are put away, and people take notice! Right now, all across the country, families are coming up with game plans for the big day to maximize their effort and to come home with the biggest prize as possible. At PennySaverUSA.com, we are obsessed with savings, so you can go ahead and assume that some of us will be out early that post-Thanksgiving morning.

By KRIS KOHLERSun Advocate reporter
Juanita Richard will serve as the grand marshal of the 2008 International Days Parade.
Richard was selected for the honor by the Price City International Days Committee members due to her exceptional community involvement.
The grand marshal was born and raised in Price.
During her time in the Carbon County area, she has always been eager to volunteer within the community.
Richard graduated from Carbon High and attended the College of Eastern Utah.
After CEU commencement, she moved to Salt Lake City and graduated from the University of Utah.
"I have worked for the Carbon Metro Drug Task Force since 1990 and have been happily married to my husband, Tom Richard, for nearly 35 years," said the grand marshal.
Along with being employed full-time, Richard does more than her share of volunteer work in Price.
Her love of animals compels her to help the Carbon County Humane Society find temporary and permanent homes for abandon pets.
Richard is also on the American cancer board and helps with the local women's shelter.
"We are always looking for new volunteers, but it seems to be harder and harder to find individuals who are willing to take on some of these opportunities. Most of us who volunteer are getting older so it is essential to our community for the younger generation to start coming out and lending a hand," said the grand marshal.
Richard was honored to find out that she was chosen to stand as the grand marshal in the International Days parade and has no plans on stopping her community outreach efforts.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team posted an 80-73 win over Wisconsin Lutheran College on Monday night in Flood Arena in the middle game of a three-games-in-five-days stretch. The game was the final non-conference contest of the season for the Bucs.
The Buccaneers took charge early and never trailed, scoring 11 of the game's first 13 points in the opening five minutes. But WLC refused to roll over and pulled back within four with 8:22 left before a 12-0 run by Beloit moved the lead back up to 16 with 2:45 left. The Bucs led 43-31 at the break.
Beloit still led by 15 at 58-43 midway through the second half but the Warriors kept chipping away and got within five at 67-62 with 3:57 remaining with a 19-9 run. It was still a five-point game with 2:13 left but the Buccaneers held on and eased in for the win.
The Bucs shot 51.9% for the game and out-rebounded Wisconsin Lutheran 35-23.
James Lazarcik had a double-double with 21 points and 16 rebounds. Marcus Ford had a career-high 11 points, including three three-pointers, while Steve Dowden added a career-high ten points. Steve McAfee scored nine.
The Buccaneers have little time to rest, heading to Waukesha on Wednesday night for a key contest against Midwest Conference co-leader Carroll University. Tipoff is at 7:00 p.m.

2016 Presidential
November 27, 2012, 10:56:51 AM »
Is Nov 2012 too early for this? Moderator can delete...
Hillary at this early date is the assumed to be the Dem frontrunner (again) if she runs. She will be 69. She is getting her reputation stained over Benghazi. (Will they remember Benghazi in 2016?)
Biden is in. God help us. (He will be 74, in fairness to mentioning Hillary's age.)
The name not mentioned yet that I would add is Michelle Obama. What are they going to say, she was only a first lady?
Rahm Emanuel went from the White House to Chicago to gain executive experience, not to run Chicago. See his latest op-ed, Wash Post 11/24/2012, How to Re-build America:
For sure he thinks he should be President.
Elizabeth Warren is mentioned. All the wisdom and experience of a first term Obama.
Dems need IMO a real candidate, a moderate governing Democrat (Bayh, Webb, ?). Not to win, but to turn the country around.
Republicans: Romney, doubtful. He had his turn. Ryan, a likely candidate. He ran as a competent, but did not electrify. Marco Rubio! Already visited Iowa. Already being attacked by the left. Christy, record popularity in NJ heading into his yellow state reelection. A strong leader. Rick Santorum says he is open to it. (If Romney shouldn't run because he lost, same should go for all who lost to him!) Jeb Bush. A contender last time if he had any other name. I think he would rather put his muscle behind Rubio.
Rand Paul. Merging pro-life, federalism and libertarianism. There is an odd combination. Definitely considering a run.

Nikki Haley. Bobby Jindal.
Agree! Here is a nice piece on Bobby Jindal. His good work supporting Rick Perry this year advanced his own campaign skills, contacts and visibility. Excerpt:
How Bobby Jindal Got His Mojo Back In 2012 Dec 3, 2012
The Louisiana governor is back as a contender for the presidency four years from now.
The last year has been a bad one for many Republicans, but 2012 was exceptionally kind to Bobby Jindal.
The 41-year-old Louisiana governor ends the presidential campaign cycle as a staple on the Sunday talk shows, a regular subject of 2016 speculation, and a legitimate contender to become the next standard-bearer of a party that once again finds itself leaderless.
And the former Rhodes Scholar has Rick Perry to thank for it all.
As new fault lines begin to form in the national conservative landscape, many influential Republicans told BuzzFeed the dynamic between the governors of Texas and Louisiana may prove key to shaping the future of the party.
Jindal endorsed Perry early on in the GOP primaries, at a time when Republicans were stampeding toward the Texas governor, convinced that he would be the nominee. But if Jindal's initial endorsement was unsurprising, his unwavering fealty expressed to the bitter end impressed many in Perry's camp.
"Anything we asked of him, he was there," said one former Perry campaign official. "When the tide was high and when the tide was low, he was a loyal soldier."
The official, who asked for anonymity to discuss the relationship between the two men "in case they end up running against each other," marveled at Jindal's commitment charging into spin rooms after Perry's spacey and stumbling debate performances, and stumping for the candidate through the last week of an ugly Iowa race where Perry ended up in fifth place.
So, why did Jindal stand by his man?
On the record, aides and operatives in both camps told BuzzFeed it was simply the product of a faithful friendship, describing a personal rapport between Perry, 62, and the younger conservative. They stressed the "friendly competition" shared by their neighboring states complete with gentle trash talk at meetings of the Republican Governors' Association and soberly recalled stories of Texas going out of its way to aide Louisiana in post-hurricane cleanup.
"I think Gov. Jindal and Gov. Perry have a strong relationship that goes beyond politics. They're personal friends on top of all that," said Kyle Plotkin, a spokesman for Jindal.
"It's a true friendship," Rob Johnson, Perry's campaign manager, said simply.
Two Republicans close to Perry even said the Texan would likely forego a second presidential race which he is said to be actively mulling if it meant running against his friend, Jindal.
"They have quite a good relationship ... It might be a deterrent," said one.
But granted anonymity to traverse the uncertain terrain post-2012 politics, many of the Republicans in both men's orbits admitted there was more to the story.
Left out of the "BFF" narrative is the extent to which Perry's campaign introduced Jindal to key voter blocs in early primary states, fine-tuned his skills on the stump, and propelled him back into the national spotlight.
Though Jindal failed to get his buddy elected president, his efforts left him exceptionally well-positioned for his own run.
Judy Davidson, chairwoman of the Scott County Republicans, was present at one of Jindal's first campaign stops with Perry in Iowa last year. His stump speech, she recalled, checked all the boxes of an effective surrogate touting Perry's credentials, confidently predicting victory but it also managed to weave in the story of Jindal's own greatest executive triumph: his handling of Hurricane Gustav.
In late August 2008, the devastation of Katrina was still an open wound in Louisiana when the state found itself bracing for another potentially disastrous mega-storm. As Gustav barreled toward the coastline, the newly elected governor moved fast, evacuating two million people, securing generators for the hospitals in harm's way, and aggressively mobilizing the National Guard. When the post-Gustav casualty count came in much lower than many had feared, Jindal was heralded across the country as a hurricane-fighting super-governor.
Ostensibly, Jindal brought up Gustav on the stump in Iowa as a way to praise Perry's proactive role in sending helicopters and National Guard units from Texas to help the storm-torn state.
But the takeaway for Davidson and many of her fellow Republicans was a deeper appreciation for Jindal's leadership.
"Everyone really came away feeling like he was a smart guy who had done a lot to help Louisiana recover," she said of that early event.
Meanwhile, among Perry's top aides, there was no denying the utility of Jindal's support largely as a shield against the early campaign meme that Perry was a dull-witted George W. Bush redux.
"I think there was a tendency to not take some of Perry's policy ideas super-seriously because the dude obviously doesn't have a PhD from Yale or whatever," said one former Perry campaign aide. "But there were obviously reasons Jindal endorsed him, and he was seen as kind of the brain box of the party."
The campaign was not shy about touting Jindal's role in helping to craft Perry's voucher-friendly education proposal and advocacy for a flatter tax system, and they regularly put him on TV to explain and defend the policies.
Jindal also continued to log lots of time in Iowa and his practice was showing, Perry's aides said.
The Louisianan had suffered a major setback in 2009 when he flubbed his highly anticipated State of the Union rebuttal. The address had been meant as a coming-out party for the rising star, and its substance a condemnation of universal health care, and a call to shrink the size of the federal government deftly tapped in to the federalist values that would define conservatism in the coming years.
But his painfully awkward performance marked by a sing-songy cadence that had the effect of reading a bedtime story to a young child earned him scathing reviews from pundits in both parties, and comparisons to the creepy 30 Rock character Kenneth.
Plotkin, who has been asked about that low point relentlessly by reporters over the years, gave BuzzFeed his standard response: "That obviously wasn't his best speech, but the substance of his speech certainly still stands."
But fast-forward to 2012, and Jindal was revving up crowds on the campaign trail and demonstrating remarkable comedic timing. A speech he would later give at CPAC Chicago, featuring as its centerpiece a sort of comedy of errors in working with the federal government on hurricane relief, has bounced around the conservative Twittersphere ever since.
One Perry campaign official said Jindal's time on the trail had "absolutely" improved his public speaking skills. And another Republican said that Jindal is now one of the best communicators among the current crop of potential 2016 candidates, despite the early misstep.
"The experience of stumping on the campaign trail is astronomically more difficult than campaigning for governor or Senator or anything else," said one Perry campaign aide. "The point is, yes, he's gotten better."
Jindal's momentum wasn't slowed when it turned out he had backed a losing horse. His transition to Romney surrogate was frictionless, he gave a well-received speech to Republican activists at the RedState gathering in Jacksonville, and he continued to find reasons to return to Iowa.

"If it were just about math, Jeb could convince the party to adopt what polling shows are clearly winning positions. But as the work of scholars Gary Miller and Norman Schofield suggests, it's not a linear equation: It's about momentum and intensity within the Republican coalition.
That's because the newest entrants to a party's electoral coalition are usually its most robust -- and the hardest to roll in intraparty skirmishes. For Republicans, it is the mostly white and older tea partiers, who block electorally beneficial positions on taxes. The next newest entrants to the coalition are Christian conservatives, many of whom also strongly oppose tax increases."

According to this NYT writer the repubs just need another Bush to return us to "clearly winning" positions.
Let's see H blew a "90"! approval rating to lose to Bill Clinton because he couldn't connect with the voters during a recession.
Let's see. W blew a 80% approval rating to barely get 50% of the vote in 04. Then he left office with us in 2 wars and the largest deficit in history as the economy crashed and was saved from a depression only with trillions in funny money and loans being printed faster than water flows out the Mississippi.
No thanks. Last resort.
The writer like all liberals conveniently leaves out the massive spending increase that occurred during the W years. He, like all of them love to point out the 1.6 trillion in tax cuts as being the reason we have such a debt.
And following his illogical reasoning further, he tries to argue we need more compromisers like the Bush family. More concessions on spending more compromise with Crats on programs and higher taxes.
He compares the situation we are in now to 1952. Did we have a 16 trillion debt that was ~ 6- or 70 % of GDP then?

From the Jeb Bush story:
"George W.'s first major legislative accomplishment as president was the enactment of a massive $1.6 trillion tax cut."
I know, wrong thread, but they just can't find a story to tell that doesn't include that falsehood. Rates went down but taxes that are measured only in US$ went up by 44% in 4 years, not down by 1.6 lying trillion.
We shouldn't judge Jeb Bush by his last name, but we can judge him on positions and electability.
His resume is as strong as anyone likely to run. He successfully governed for two terms a major state. Rick Perry will tell you that is a starting point, not a clincher.
My prediction is that Jeb Bush will jump on the Marco Rubio bandwagon. These trial balloons generate feedback and good politicians listen.
Speaking of family names as a qualifier or disqualifier, Debra Saunders (SF Chronicle) had a good piece today on NY Times coverage of the Clintons, called 'Airbrushing an impeachment':
I will put her main point on 'Media Issues' but Bill was sued for harassment, disbarred, paid an $850,000 settlement, and Hillary was ... "his greatest enabler. The then-first lady blamed a 'vast right-wing conspiracy' for independent counsel Ken Starr's 'politically motivated' questioning of Monica Lewinsky..."
Not to mention cattle futures. The only element of a felony missing was that the Statute of Limitations had expired before all the facts were known.
Hillary will have her State Dept exit on film when she testifies in open hearings on Benghazi. She took responsibility in general words, but this testimony will follow the full report hopefully loaded with accurate specifics. If she is the candidate, this is the audition.

Thanks for posting this - it's good for balance on the board to be aware of this perspective. What I take from it is that only appearances matter. With a little translation and helping the author finish his sentences, I think one could make a news story or analysis piece out of this. )
My comments in italics: The point of the fiscal crisis is to close the trillion dollar deficit. (Unless I missed something!)
From the New Yorker piece:
"In the final hours of the fiscal-cliff crisis, different potential candidates came up with different answers. First came Joe Biden... However one feels about the compromise package that emerged...Biden got it together and closed the deal" -
that did nothing to solve the problem
"Hes (Biden) worked alongside Senators on both sides for years, and even decades, and that helped"
- to get the deal done so that voters who demanded spending raised by a trillion will pay nothing additional for it
"the no seems most natural for [Rand] Paul"
- True and quite obvious!
"Rubio, though, appeared too frankly political. He also was placing a bet about how ideological and extreme the G.O.P.s base will be in 2016 (very)." -
Liberal Drivel (IMHO). Sen. Rubio said it does nothing to solve what he came there to solve. Is that hard to understand? He faced absolutely no reason to vote for bad policy
"Both Rubio and Paul would have been fairly sure, by the time they cast their votes, that the package would pass, and do so with a majority of Republicans. Paul Ryan did not have the same luxury. If he had decided to pull a Rubio, he might have persuaded enough other Republicans to scuttle it."
- The majority of House Republicans DID vote to scuttle it.
"Instead, he (Paul Ryan) was left mumbling about the national interest and the Rose Bowl in the hours before the vote, and then issuing a statement afterward that managed to be both defensive and smug: There are clearly provisions that I oppose. But the question remains: Will the American people be better off if this law passes relative to the alternative? In the final analysis, the answer is undoubtedly yes. I came to Congress to make tough decisionsnot to run away from them.
- Mumbling? Ryan's friends at Powerline called this deal eating dog food. "The Deal" was better than the alternative and that is what Ryan said. Quite clear IMO. And the Badgers in the Rose Bowl is a BIG DEAL where he comes from. Hopefully it didn't require federal aid.
"...and then Governor Chris Christie held the sort of press conference that only he can, one that made him sound like the anti-Rubio:" (clip at link called shame on congress)
- BS again, IMHO. Chris Christy is mad about "the 66 days" since the storm that people elsewhere haven't paid enough, fast enough, for regional expenses. Does he have a position on the deal? Did he put forward a better deal? Did he think it doesn't affect NJ?
The context of this mess is that voters voted for divided government. Voters sent a House there committed to hold down all taxes. They sent a President and Senate there committed to escalating spending beyond all precedent. Christy's role in it was to endorse Romney early because he was "electable", then do photo-opps with Obama during get out the vote to make himself look bipartisan, then whine about insufficient funds disbursed in a timely manner to his state. What a hero. (sarc.)

Rand Paul hits Chris Christie for criticizing NRA ad, grandstanding on Sandy relief bill
posted at 5:31 pm on January 18, 2013 by Allahpundit
Im intrigued and oddly impressed at how obviously Pauls maneuvering for 2016. First the trip to Israel, then the bill to nullify any executive actions taken by Obama on guns, now this double-barreled shot at grassroots conservatives new bete noire. One of the things about the elder Paul that some people loved and others found off-putting was that he never seemed terribly interested in ingratiating himself with mainstream conservatives. If youre a fan, maybe you took that as proof of principle, that he was above gladhanding political nonsense towards people foolish enough not to embrace libertarianism wholeheartedly. If you arent, you took it as evidence that he disdained the rank-and-file Republicans whose votes hed need to win and wasnt willing to bend towards some of their concerns. Its an open question how similar Ron and Rand are on policy, but from a pure retail standpoint, Rand seems way more willing to play to the wider GOP base. The clearest example to date was him endorsing Romney last year while Ron predictably refused. But dumping on a guy whos irritated everyone to the right of Morning Joe lately is another small yet effective way to do it:
Paul claimed that Christie had backed down on gun rights: You have some Republicans backing down like Christie backing down and criticizing the NRA, and I think that doesnt do any good.
When asked by Ingraham why Christie made the comments, he responded that they were politically calculated. I think he may be solidifying his support with Democrats in New Jersey and maybe liberal Republicans.
Paul warned Christie that his criticism of the NRA, as well as his criticism of fellow Republicans over the Sandy relief bill, would come back to haunt him if he made a presidential run in 2016. I think criticizing the Second Amendment movement and the over-the-top give me my money stuff, I want all sixty billion now or Ill throw a tantrum, I dont think thats going to play well in the Republican primary.
I think people need to think through what their position on these things are. Paul concluded.
The field will be more crowded, with many heavier hitters, in 2016 than it was in 2012, but Id bet cash money that Rand will do better than Ron did, especially if Obama continues to fiddle on entitlements. The more dire the fiscal situation gets, the more appealing a harder line libertarian appears vis-a-vis a more traditional conservative Republican pol.
As for Christie, between the post-Sandy Obama photo op, the grandstanding on Sandy relief, and now dumping on the NRA while saying nothing about Obamas own bit of child exploitation, WaPos wondering if hes already finished for 2016. I doubt it. To repeat a point made recently, the lesson of nominating McCain and Romney is that the national Republican primary electorate is way bigger than the universe of grassroots conservatives. Christie could lose every last tea-party vote and conceivably still squeak through to some sort of Romney-esque victory over a divided conservative field. (Then again, if it were that easy, why didnt Giuliani win in 2008?) But I still think hed be better off hooking up with Bloomberg and running a serious third-party campaign. For better or worse, after all the betrayals of conservatives lately, thats his brand now. If he had a few hundred million from Bloomy to jump-start him and some serious media buzz about being the first credible independent candidate since Perot, who knows what he could do? Republicans popularity is at a recent historic low in some polls and Christies popularity is sky high. If he ends up with the right opponents Cuomo, say, if Hillary doesnt run and maybe Rand Paul on the right its not impossible to imagine him contending seriously. Think of it: The first No Labels president. What could go wrong?

I feel like I am in prison and up for parole in four years.
Bob Grant says, "mark my words, Hillary will not be the democratic candidate in 2016."
I am not sure why he thinks that I missed part of his show.
My guess is if Obama is somewhat popular at the end of this term the candidate will be Joe Biden or possibly someone else of Obama's choosing - not Hillary.
If O is a failure than Hillary's army divisions will be out all over the media shoving her in our faces.
As long as half the country is reliant on government paychecks I don't see Obama's popularity dropping.
Thus, Bob Grant may be ( he usually is) right. It won't be the grifter couple.

By DOROTHY RABINOWITZ
It was impossible to miss the foreshadowings of the future as Hillary Clinton's week of public appearances wound down to its ending. This, was, of course, the arranged love fest on "60 Minutes," a program that was once the pride of CBS, an unequalled model of investigative journalism. Whatever the object of this piece of investigation was would have been hard to saybut its results, like Mrs. Clinton's appearance before the Congress earlier in the week, left us with a powerful sense of the candidacy to come in 2016. A candidacy not only very much like the one that culminated in the victory of Barack Obamabut one modeled on all its claims, its assumptions.
Mr. Obama had won office despite an astounding lack of experience and a negligible record. His indisputable political skills, his race and all symbolic values attached theretonot to mention the promise, now apparently abandoned, of a new and unified America that transcended racehad swept him into office. No one can miss the parallel track the outgoing secretary of state is set to pursue.
What is already clearwhat should stand out blazing in neonare the extraordinary claims now being made for Mrs. Clinton's achievements as secretary of state. One of the greatest secretaries of state America has known, according to the presidentand his is one of the more modest assessments. It's not the sort of view, to be sure, for which she can be held responsible, but it is an indicator of the passions that would drive her candidacy for the White House: the first woman president.
No one would dispute Mrs. Clinton's hard work, her travels across the globe, her famous capacity to show up armed with encyclopedic detail on every issue, every side of every question. She has been the most dutiful of secretaries of state, has obligingly and diligently carried forth Mr. Obama's designs for shrinking the American presence in the world. She leaves office having left behind no imprint of a vision, no evidence of concerns other than the dictates of diligent obedience.
None of that is likely to matter in the race to come. If Mrs. Clinton is a candidate, her record and her achievements will be accorded sacrosanct statusa kind that will be familiar to Americans who have watched the past two elections. The 2016 election is, we're regularly reminded, a long way off, but to watch Hillary Clinton this week was to grasp, with a small chill of recognition, just how close it actually is.

touché! Lol!
If any of them run against Joe Biden and make the worst gaffe imaginable he can still point to the opponent and say hey, you started it.
My thoughts right now are with the other tea party guy, Sen. Marco Rubio. But Sen. Rand Paul will for sure play a major role in it all no matter what direction things go. The big difference is defense, interventionism versus isolationism views, plus the varying strengths they both have of communication, charisma and crossover appeal - to be determined.
I would like to have the domestic policies of either one of them and get our freedom back.

The three most obvious potential Republican contenders have quite a bit in common, Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, early 40s, white, male, conservative. I hope right now that all three run, run well, and run against the other side, not against each other.
Rumor this week is that a big donor said that Bill Clinton said that Hillary is definitely running.
Adding one name to the mix: Benjamin Carson. Sounds like a candidate for President to me.
My top ticket right now is Carson-Rubio, in that order. A lot of time left, I reserve the right to change my mind...

Crafty is right with his warnings and a bar set low for one Dem does not mean an easy ride for any conservative - ever! Of course Carson is politically untested and high risk. He is my early choice and not necessarily my final choice. We looked at other outsiders last time, like Herman Cain and Allen West. Interesting that they happen to be black. Something has to set them immediately and visibly apart from the politically rejected Republican governance of the past. Coming from outside the process means inexperience but is not all bad. You do need votes before managerial competence comes into play.
One reason I like Rubio is that he is electorally tested, as one of Crafty's tough questions suggests. After rising to Florida Speaker of the House and becoming well known in a highly contentious swing state he won his Senate election by a million votes - without surrender principles or agenda to the left or center. But what agency or enterprise has he ever run? None. He is a potential leader, but not not an experienced executive. Rand Paul is wonderful to me on 99% of issues but has not yet shown crossover appeal. To the contrary, he has trailed Hillary in polling in his own conservative state. (
) Very smart guy but he also lacks executive experience. Paul Ryan is wonderful on mastery of complex issues but given the chance did not draw people to the ticket. Obama won Paul Ryan's home district. He also lacks executive experience.
The Governors have partial executive experience for the job but except for an exception like Reagan they don't start with national appeal. People scoffed at the idea of a two term Minnesota governor being President, same for a half term Alaska governor. Mitch Daniels, McDonnell, Jindal, Nikki Haley also are not really seen (yet) as heavy hitters on a national stage. California and New York don't offer us any experienced Republicans. Rick Perry is the biggest R-state governor with the longest record but stumbled badly entering the national stage. Chris Christie ...? Military leaders like Colin Powell and Petreus are out. People like Condoleeza Rice and John Bolton are advisers more than experienced executives. No one comes in perfectly qualified.
Obama proved his executive competence (falsely) by running a perfect campaign.
Carson has executive and leadership experience in a much smaller setting, Johns Hopkins Pediatric Neurosurgery, for 28 years. A decent sized team with 121 doctors, either the best or among the best in the world at what they do. His job involved making difficult executive decisions like committing resources of his department to the first separation of conjoined twins, obviously not on a scale of presiding over the US government. He hasn't run any government or public agency or had to answer for much of anything to a hostile press.
In 2012 we put managerial competence with a good agenda on the ticket. We took the safest choice and lost to economic and managerial failure.
Someone has to break through the noise, reach people with a persuasive change of direction message, and open and change minds. Only about one in three hundred million could pull that off, if anyone can. I took my early shot at predicting who it will be. Carson is retiring in July and isn't going to leave the stage voluntarily. If he runs he will get a good look like Herman Cain did, but it may not end that way. People like that perhaps should start at City Council and work their way up but this nation doesn't have the time to wait. Carson will be 64 and 4 years later they will say too old. He doesn't have to wait or work his way up, but he does need a tsunami of support.
Whoever is going to step up and lead needs to do that right now. I give this guy credit for doing so.

Good point. He is riding his 15 minutes of fame well. As he paused on one question I realized I don't know his view on almost anything.
2012 was painful for conservatives. Each candidate was flawed in one way or another.
Before we pick the 2016 candidate, we should define what is that job, what skills sets does the President who follows 8 years of Obamanomics need? Is this a regular center right versus center left contest coming or is it something different?
On big things like this I like to expand the range of choices first before we start narrowing. Are the usual handful of suspects the only only ones who could rise to this job? He or she needs executive experience, proven electability in a good sized center or left state and national experience with charisma and temperament, money and organization - and we just narrowed the list to none. Is there anywhere besides elected government from where someone might rise to the highest level quickly? Probably not, but looking everywhere and considering everyone is part of the process.
People like Herman Cain and Donald Trump got noticed and rejected. State Senator Obama got noticed and kept running. Carson is starting to get a look. Not many from the outside ever get that opportunity.
Obama overcame his lack of experience and accomplished the biggest legislation in history. His task was harder, selling us on bad policies. Selling us on good choices with honesty and good communication is a simpler task. Also repealing bad legislation and lowering and simplifying taxing and regulations takes less staff and staff management than writing and passing all those bad bills.
We don't know his view on AfPakia yet (or anyone else's view for that matter). But he has his head on straight with healthcare (what Obama admits is our spending problem) and on taxes and regulations. That's a good start.
Other than this one more link considering Carson for President, I promise to drop the subject:

I caught a Hannity show dedicated to Carson last night and I must say that I was quite impressed with the man on several levels.
First and foremost, and I readily grant that this is an exceedingly nebulous yet profoundly important point to me, I think the man is spiritually sound. His way of making points powerfully exlusively in positives will make it very hard for the pravda mud machine to smear him precisely because I think people are going to respond to him very, very well.
His analysis and ability to speak on health care, and connect it with the larger themes of the American Creed is exceedingly impressive.
His analysis and way of speaking on tax issues is very impressive.
The man is worthy of our further attention, yet let us remember how very much we don't know about him (e.g. zero of foreign affairs), and the risks of having a political virgin take on running for the presidency and should he win, be president.
PS: I would also like to toss out the name of Mike Huckabee as someone to watch for. When I happen to catch his show I am often quite impressed. He too has a gentle manner of making powerful points and his years at this gig may serve him well as a campaigner communicating effectively with a much broader demographic than his presidential campaign of 2008. This gig also gives him flight time engaging with a broad range of issues.

We've had this talk here and I know it is too early and we know too little about him and he has no political experience, organization, money etc. but Dr. Carson starts by having my vote to lose. There is of course more that I need to learn about him, foreign policy in particular. If he has no knowledge and no views whatsoever on all of that he still starts in a better place than his predecessor, Pres. Obama, where nearly all that he knows is wrong.
The leader I seek is the one who can best express the need to turn the country in the right
direction, along with the wisdom to surround himself with the best people.
That is the same reason I like Marco Rubio, but with all his political experience up to serving as Speaker of the Florida House, winning a swing state by a million votes and now serving in the US senate, he still has a youthfulness about him where Dr. Carson exudes a wisdom and confidence potentially capable of changing the debate that we are currently losing. Rubio would be perfect as a VP candidate, on the ticket, on the stage, in the news cycle. He will have enough Senate experience by 2016 to make the move up to either slot.
Political experience is great but it is also limiting.

I've watched a bit more of Carson and he definitely has piqued my curiosity.
Also, just saw Sen. Rand Paul on Cavuto and liked what I saw and heard-- not to say that I don't still have the same doubts that I did, just acknowledging that he handled himself well and has much to offer.
