Money from City Manager Rick Daniels' Mine Reclamation Corp Contributed to Mary Bono Mack Congressional Campaign
DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CA – Campaign contributions are an inherent part of American politics. However, contributions by government officials appearing to peddle or purchase influence while hiding their public office crosses an ethical line.
That the member of congress taking money from someone residing in another congressional district different is not odd on the surface. But the reality is that this involved Rick Daniels, the city manager of Desert Hot Springs, and he was contractually obligated not to be doing business as Mine Reclamation Corp.
Rick Daniels employment contract for his city manager job with Desert Hot Springs has a condition allowing him to maintain work for and as Richard A Daniels, inc. so long as his doing that work did not interfere with his job as city manager. There is no mention of Mine Reclamation Corp so his working there was prohibited.
For What Purpose?
At the time of Richard A Daniels making these financial contributions to Mary Bono Mack the congressional district of Desert Hot Springs was in that of Congressman Jerry Lewis, not Mary Bono Mack. In fact, the city that employed Daniels was the only city in the Coachella Valley not in the congressional district of Mary Bono. Redistricting then under discussion in 2010 would change that, making the entire Coachella Valley unified into one congressional district on the near horizon.
Another discussion was happening in 2010 regarding the future of a very public and very controversial project of Mine Reclamation Corp. The business that Richard A Daniels served as President intended to transport daily rail line loads of Los Angeles trash by train on tracks alongside Interstate 10 to dump LA trash in the Eagle Mountain Mine adjacent to the Joshua Tree National Park. Daniels' business, Mine Reclamation Corp, had tied up the contract for the mine created by Kaiser Corp.
Eventually Daniels' dream was crushed by a decision of the Supreme Court to avoid environmental disaster.
Career Trashed
Trashman turned city manager Rick Daniels began his career in the trash business in Oregon before landing in the trash business in California. So entrenched has Daniels become in the local trash business that he borrowed money from a trash business in Big Bear to purchase his home in Desert Hot Springs.
Richard Daniels, the former bag man employed by Waste Management over a decade ago and named in a report by the San Diego District Attorney for having distributed money to curry favor with city officials has never been prohibited from making campaign contributions. That's the way he works.
However, on the disclosure forms, Rick Daniels was not identified by his employment as City Manager but instead identified by his role as President of Mine Reclamation Corporation. There may be a problem with this.
Initially and upon the request of Daniels a special provision was inserted into his 2007 city manager employment contract allowing him to continue his work for Richard A Daniels, Inc., as independent consultant. However, as far as can be determined with our research, there was never any such provision allowing Daniels to continue work as President of Mine Reclamation Corporation, which he did anyway. That's where the money enters the picture.
For 2009-10 a $500 contribution was made to the Mary Bono Congressional Campaign in the name of Richard A Daniels as President of Mine Reclamation, Corporation plus another $500 was made to the same congressional campaign in the name of his wife, Joyce E Daniels identifying herself as a homemaker, not disclosing employment at the Betty Ford Center.
Once more, there is nothing illegal about making campaign contributions. It is the manner in which it was done which appears an ethical violation.
(See: federal election records supplied by the FEC to City-Data and available online at http://www.city-data.com/elec2/elec-DESERT-HOT-SPRINGS-CA.html)
No Business License
The other problem associated with Mine Reclamation Corporation is that the address associated with these two business enterprises is the Desert Hot Springs home of Richard Daniels.
Although this is allowed by the municipal code, one of the major sticking points of Daniels' harassment complaint against Councilman Russell Betts was that Betts was using his home to conduct business and did not have the home occupancy permit.
Two investigations by the city's insurance company plus an investigation by the District Attorney cleared Betts of any wrongdoing. Not accepting that result were the three cronies of city manager Rick Daniels who occupy council positions, Jan Pye and Scott Matas joined by Mayor Yvonne Parks in spending $77,000 in public funds hiring an outside investigator in a vindictive and unsuccessful attempt to dig up evidence Betts was conducting business in his home without a license.
The findings of that report confirmed – again – that Betts was not conducting business from his home and did not violate any city ordinance.
The hypocrisy is that politician/bureaucrat Rick Daniels consulting business and Mine Reclamation Corporation both operate out of his Desert Hot Springs home and have no city business license. Although the State Fair Political Practices Commission might be interested, this matter will most likely never lead to a public dispute nor ever to cost the city anything to investigate since Rick Daniels resigned this city and goes to work for the city of Needles on September 3.

"The one problem with this item is that there isn't a cream colored envelope to match the card. White doesn't go with the cream card stock. I ended up ordering gold to try to match the name printed on the card, ok but not a perfect match."
"Looks exactly like on the picture. The quality of the print and paper is great. So happy to be able to send thank-you cards matching my baby shower invitations."
"This card has just the right amount of charm! The perfect shade of blue coupled with the look of a men's striped tie made my husband say, "Those are great. Can I have one?" If my husband wanted a copy to keep, I figured I had to write a review. I used a suggested font, had my son's full name typed in all lower case (he's about to turn one), and added a cute picture to the back. Because it isn't tied to a specific theme, I can use them for birthday thank yous, Christmas thank yous, and just every day hello's to family members and friends. This card is a keeper, literally! :)"
"These thank you cards are wonderfully adorable! Cute enough for baby but stylish at the same time. I preferred my son's full name as opposed to just his first name -- turned out great! Excited to write thank you's for him!"
"This simple thank you note is chic and stylish, not over-stated. A quick thank you for gifts received for the little one is surely appreciated when the gift giver opens up this beautiful thank you note."

Like a lot of us, David Price had some regrets Sunday morning about the decisions he made Saturday night.
The Rays pitcher apologized on Twitter for the angry, self-promoting rant he went on after the Red Sox unloaded on him in Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Saturday. After giving up seven runs in the Red Sox' 7-4 victory, the left-hander went on social media and listed his many college and professional accomplishments.
No tweet was too small for Price to respond to, and a day later he realized it probably was not the best look for a former Cy Young Award winner. He cooled down and apologized on Twitter.
Last night got out of hand and I apologize for the things that I said on here...if I offended you I am very sorry for doing so...#thatsnotme—
David Price (@DAVIDprice14) October 06, 2013
Whoever might have been "offended" by Price's tirade probably needs to lighten up a lot and realize that it's not the end of the world if an athlete gets angry on Twitter, but whatever. Price has to hope Alex Cobb can extend the series in Game 3 on Monday to give him the slightest chance of facing the Red Sox again.

Rapists slaughtered woman, says judgeComment on this story
Durban - The murder of a rape victim by slitting her throat was likened to "slaughter" and "the silencing of the lamb" by Durban High Court Acting Judge Sharon Marks, in sentencing the guilty to life imprisonment.
In the dock were Nkosingiphile Msomi, 24, and Lungelo Ngidi, 27, whom she convicted of the murder and rape of Thulisile Mkhize. She also convicted Ngidi of the rape of Mkhize's 18-year-old friend.
Evidence before her, which she accepted in convicting the accused, was that the two women had attended a traditional ceremony and had later gone to a tavern in Inanda where they had shared a beer with Msomi and Ngidi.
They had given the two men "the slip" and had taken a short cut on a path, heading back to the main road.
Here, Msomi and Ngidi confronted them.
They attacked Mkhize, hitting her until she fell. They then kicked her until she became subdued.
They carried her by her arms and feet down to the river where Msomi raped her, while her companion was forced to stand by and watch.
When he was finished, Ngidi told him to kill Mkhize. He stabbed her six times in the back and then slit her throat.
The two men then threw her body into the river. Ngidi raped her companion who later managed to escape from them.
In passing sentence, Judge Marks said in using the word "slit" to describe what happened, she was being polite because it was obvious from the medical evidence that Mkhize had been "slaughtered", a word used by state advocate Rea Mina.
She said it was obvious that the two men, after having a drink with the two woman, believed they were entitled to have sex with them, with or without their consent.
"Women have a right enshrined in our constitution and in any democratic society to enjoy themselves without the fear of this patriarchal notion that if they have a few drinks they open themselves up to unwanted and unwarranted sexual abuse," she said.
She disagreed with their lawyers that they were youthful and were good candidates for rehabilitation, saying they were both in their mid-twenties and were "adults".
She said both had pleaded not guilty and had not made a clean breast of things.
"Your conduct was a callous disregard for the dignity of the deceased. Not only did you toss her half-naked body into the river, but the evidence suggests that you wanted to go on to another party as if nothing had happened."
Regarding the murder charge, she said while she was bound by the minimum sentence of life imprisonment, this was the sentence she would have imposed at her own discretion anyway.
She sentenced them both to a further 15 years for the rape of Mkhize while Ngidi was given another 10 years for the rape of her companion.
She ordered that the sentences run concurrently. - The Mercury

Adrian Beltre returns, can't wait to face Felix Hernandez
SEATTLE – Adrian Beltre already had to miss one start against Felix Hernandez because he was on the disabled list. He wasn't about to miss another.
If there was one thing that seemed to stick out from Beltre's briefing in advance of his first game in more than two weeks, it is how much he relishes the opportunity to face his close friend and on-field nemesis Felix Hernandez on Saturday.
Beltre, who is 10-for-29 (.345) with a homer and eight strikeouts in his career against his former Seattle teammate, said he couldn't even sit int he dugout when the Rangers faced Seattle on April 16. Players on the DL are prohibited from engaging in "bench-jockeying," or in more modern-day terms "trash talking.
And the Beltre-Hernandez battle is full of trash talking.
"It was difficult," Beltre said Friday. "I stayed inside. I couldn't sit still for that. I was trying to be quiet, but there would have been no way to contain myself."
When it came to discussing Hernandez's issues with the Rangers, however, Beltre decided not to push his luck. Hernandez is 12-20 with a 4.10 ERA in his career against the Rangers. He's lost more games to Texas than any other opponent.
He also couldn't resist the slightest dig.
"Over the years, yes, he's had some trouble against Texas," Beltre said. "And I've given him some trouble. But he's still Felix. He's still the king. We know we are going out tehre against one of the best."
As for Beltre's quadriceps muscle, which sent him to the DL 10 days into the season, he said he will manage it. Exactly, how, well, that's going to be a Beltre mystery.
"I don't know," he said. "I haven't played on it yet. But I said I was ready to play last week and I'm ready to play now. It doesn't matter if I can feel something or what I can feel."

|Ambulatory systolic-diastolic pressure regression index predicts acute coronary syndromes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23339478 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Objectives. Ambulatory systolic-diastolic pressure regression index (ASDPRI) is a composite marker of cardiovascular properties. The study was conducted to investigate the relationship between ASDPRI and cardiovascular events in patients with significant coronary atherosclerosis confirmed in angiography. Methods. Associations between ASDPRI and cardiovascular events were examined in 891 subjects referred for diagnostic coronary angiography. ASDPRI was calculated as 1 minus the slope of the linear relation between 24-h DBP and 24-h SBP. Results. During follow-up (median 6.7 years), 135 acute coronary syndromes (ACS), including five deaths and 55 strokes occurred in the studied group. There was a higher 24-h ASDPRI in patients with ACS than in patients with no ACS (0.35 ± 01 vs 0.30 ± 0.1, p < 0.01); 24-h ASDPRI was the independent predictor for ACS (OR = 4.0; 95% CI 1.3-12.0). Conclusions. ASDPRI has an important role as a risk factor of ACS in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.

The Foot Fist Way is a 2006 low-budget black comedy film directed by Jody Hill and starring Danny McBride. Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's production company, Gary Sanchez Productions, picked up distribution rights to the film and hoped for it to achieve a Napoleon Dynamite-like success.[1] It premiered in 2006 at The Los Angeles Film Festival and was screened at Sundance that same year. The film was released on DVD in 2008.
Fred Simmons (Danny McBride) is a fourth-degree black belt in Taekwondo who runs his own dojo in a small North Carolina town. He styles himself a big shot, driving a Ferrari and extolling the virtues of Taekwondo to potential new students, but loses his confidence after he discovers that his wife, Suzie (Mary Jane Bostic) gave her boss a handjob after a drunken office party. In order to restore his confidence, he attends a martial arts expo. He meets his idol, B movie action star Chuck "the Truck" Wallace (Ben Best), who in reality turns out to be a dirty and drunken mess. After nearly brawling with Chuck's seedy friends, Fred persuades Chuck to make an appearance at his upcoming Taekwondo belt test and then parties with his friends and students in Chuck's hotel room. Fred returns home and sells his Ferrari to pay Chuck's $10,000 appearance fee. Shortly thereafter, Suzie returns to Fred after losing her job. On the night before the belt test, Fred catches Suzie having sex with Chuck on his own couch. Fred challenges Chuck to a fight, but is eventually beaten and driven off. The next morning, Suzie once again asks to be taken back, but Fred rejects her and urinates on his wedding ring. Fred arrives at the test late, battered and bruised, but with his confidence restored. When Chuck arrives for his appearance, Fred challenges him to a martial arts demonstration of board breaking, which he wins. At the following belt ceremony, Fred reads a new student pledge that he has written, which outlines the goals and responsibilities of Taekwondo.
- Danny McBride as Fred Simmons, a black belt and instructor of Taekwondo in a small southern town.
- Ben Best as Chuck "The Truck" Wallace, a B movie action star. Best is also a member of the music band Pyramid, who supplied songs to the film's soundtrack. Other members of the band played bit parts as Chuck's friends at his party.
- Mary Jane Bostic as Suzie Simmons, Fred's unfaithful, spandex-clad wife.
- Spencer Moreno as Julio, Fred's overweight adolescent second-in-command at the dojang.
- Carlos Lopez IV as Henry, a meek youth who finds self-confidence through Taekwondo.
- Jody Hill as Mike McAlister, Fred's intense friend and fellow Taekwondo black belt.
All martial artists in the film, excluding McBride and Best, were played by true Taekwondo practitioners, many from Concord Taekwondo in Concord NC.
McBride appeared as a guest on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on February 26, 2008 as the character Fred Simmons.[2] Many viewers were not familiar with either the character or the actor and as a result there was initially much speculation as to whether the seemingly disastrous Tae Kwon Do demonstration, during which Simmons asked for a "redo" after a failed block-splitting attempt - and awkward interview, during which he repeatedly lashed out at fellow guest Will Ferrell for dancing around in a sexual nature during his interview segment earlier, were real or staged. Among the only immediate clues to suggest the interview was a setup was when the website for the film was flashed onscreen during the interview.
Critical reception[edit]
Variety gave the film a fairly positive review stating that the film is "crying out to be discovered by midnight movie mavens".[3] It currently holds a 57%, "Rotten" rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 76 reviews. The website Metacritic, which averages leading film critics from across the United States, gave the film a 63 out of 100 based on 22 reviews, which is considered "generally favorable."[4]

Day By Day
Description: [100th Debut] -
with Richard Clayderman
It seems there's no way back
I'm drowning in my tears
For all those wasted years
No priest to help me out
No anger left to shout
I'm all alone
Like a ring without a stone
Day by day
I pray to find another way
Day by day
You left my life in disarray
Day by day
In desperation thrown
How come
Now you are gone
But I keep hangin' on
And just help me to break free
Escape from misery
Where are you, all my friends
Where the darkest night descends
No point in making clear
Who's right who's wrong, my dear
No place to run
When all is said and done
Typed from the lyrics booklet for Dancemania 5

POSTED: 8:45 a.m. HST, Oct 17, 2012
LAST UPDATED: 8:47 a.m. HST, Oct 17, 2012
MOUNT VERNON, Iowa » President Barack Obama is ridiculing rival Mitt Romney's five-point plan for the economy as a "sketchy deal" that boils down to helping the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.
Obama told a political rally at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, that Romney won't reveal details about how to pay for his proposed 20 percent cut in tax rates.
The president says that when politicians say they will wait to explain plans until after the election, "they don't have a pleasant surprise in store for you."
Playing off a Romney response during Tuesday's presidential debate, Obama says that when it comes to recruiting new math and science teachers "we don't have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified, talented, driven young women."

Saudi Aramco, Dow Seek to Be 'Overfunded' for Sadara
Saudi Arabian Oil Co. and Dow Chemical Co. are seeking funding offers above the $12 billion to $13 billion needed for their Sadara Chemical Co. petrochemicals joint venture to try and lock in the most competitive rates.
"Our strategy is to be overfunded and then scale back to achieve the best terms and conditions," Luciano Poli, chief financial officer of the joint venture, said yesterday in an interview in Dubai. "We're at a very important stage where all the different tranches are being finalized and negotiated. We're well on schedule and will close the financing soon."
Sadara, a $20 billion petrochemicals complex being constructed in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, is being funded 65 percent with debt and the remainder with equity. The U.S. Export-Import Bank said Sept. 27 it approved a $5 billion loan for the complex.
The first of the plant's 26 units will begin operating in 2015, Poli said. Starting up all the units will take 18 months, he said.
Saudi Aramco owns 65 percent of the Sadara venture, with Dow holding the remainder. Aramco plans to sell part of its stake to the public, after which its share will equal Dow's.

Editor's Note: When Breck Pegram brought the envelope containing a postcard from Queen Mary into the newspaper to be scanned, he handed it to me and said, "You're holding a piece of history – a postcard Queen Mary wrote herself." I handled it carefully; it was a sobering thought.
Among the different areas of stamp collecting is one that has maintained its prominence in the hobby. It is covers, which are envelopes with interesting stamps or other postal markings, which make them significant for a number of reasons.
At stamp shows you will find dealers who have boxes and boxes of these covers and as you go by their tables you'll see collectors going through these in hopes of finding something they've been looking for or just finding something significant that everyone else has missed.
Among cover collectors there are those who are what I would call rate and route experts. These are people who have studied, let's say, the postal rates at various times in and out of the United States. They may know that, in say 1905, a flood caused an interruption of mail service along a portion of the Ohio River and mail accumulated at Pittsburgh for a period of 10 days and was back stamped accordingly giving the recipient the reason for the delay in delivery.
Covers like this would be rare because there would be few of them on the market and thus they would be both valuable and interesting to the postal historian.
A central ingredient of value in a cover is rarity. Rarity must be accompanied, however, by demand. If a cover from an area that only had a post office for a short period of time lacks a demand for those covers, then the value will be low.
What is known as crash covers is another interesting area of cover collecting. A well-known area of this part of collecting is covers from the airship Hindenburg when it famously crashed and burned at Lakehurst, N.J. on May 6, 1937.
Several years ago I heard an excellent talk at a stamp club meeting in Louisville by Dr. Cheryl Ganz, Chief Curator of Philately at the National Postal Museum in the Smithsonian Institute. Dr. Ganz is a noted authority on the subject of crash mail and particularly Hindenburg crash mail. She has some pieces of Hindenburg crash mail in her personal collection and has even met several people who were on the doomed airship that fateful day.
In her talk she disclosed something a lot of people did not know and that is a lot of mail survived the crash because there was mail in some fireproof vaults on the Hindenburg. This is certainly an interesting and undoubtedly expensive part of cover collecting.
Another thing that makes some covers valuable would be those cancelled at a post office that is now closed. Franklin County has plenty of these and several members of the Kentucky Stamp Club are constantly on the lookout for covers with a post mark such as: Bridgeport, Joshua (near Bald Knob), Benson Station and a number of others.
The only one you might easily find is Jett, which was closed in the 1970s. The only post office left in the county today is, of course, Frankfort. That is sad and regrettable.
Also, post marks on covers are a popular area of collecting in Kentucky in part because some Kentucky post offices tended to have very colorful and interesting names such as: Jinks, Happy Top and Needmore.
We've talked a lot about value in covers. There is another part of cover collecting that is very important to stamp collectors and that is the degree of pure enjoyment that is obtained in looking for covers in whatever area you collect. The same applies to stamp collecting by itself. If you as a collector of stamps and/or covers see it as just a way to make a good investment you are definitely missing out in a big way.
You are getting enjoyment and knowledge only when you can sell or trade stamps and covers and make a nice profit. You should also get a lot of satisfaction out of finding covers from places that hold an interest for you. Maybe you are trying to build a collection from a period in time, say World War II or the Great Depression era, and you find one or more pieces at a stamp show or in a stamp shop that really adds to your collection but the pieces are relatively inexpensive. That only adds to the enjoyment you receive.
Several weeks ago I was in Collectors Stamps, Ltd., in Louisville and one of the staff there said he had something he felt would add to my collection of Great Britain and British Colonies. While I do not collect covers from this area of philately, I saw the historical significance of the item and I purchased it. It is illustrated with this column.
This is a thank you note to a member of the British Royal Family from Queen Mary, wife of King George V. The thank you note was sent Express Mail, as I imagine all the mail of the Royal Family is. This was in 1945 after King George V had died and Queen Mary was living at Marlborough House in London.
The envelope bears Queen Mary's initials in the lower left corner of the envelope, MR, for Mary Regina (Latin for Queen) and then she has written a two-line note under the top line on the card that is offset printed. She has also autographed the picture on the reverse.
The members of the Kentucky Stamp Club enjoy collecting and learning about covers and they will be glad to share their knowledge with others interested in this subject.
Our next meeting is Saturday Oct. 13, 2 p.m. at Memorial Baptist Church, 130 Holmes St. You are invited to join us.
Breck Pegram is president of the Kentucky Stamp Club.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Federal crash investigators are focusing on inadequate maintenance as the cause of a twilight sightseeing helicopter crash that killed a pilot and four tourists near Las Vegas in December 2011.
The National Transportation Safety Board reviewed findings Tuesday in Washington, D.C., of a 13-month investigation of the Sundance Helicopters crash.
NTSB investigators say a crucial bolt worked loose in the rotor mechanism, causing a loss of control before the crash near Lake Mead.
Officials think the bolt wasn't properly secured during maintenance before the crash.
They note the mechanic and inspector had been called in early to do the work.
But the helicopter also passed other inspections before the crash.
Killed were two honeymooners from India, a Utica, Kan., couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, and the pilot.

I already have a 29er and a SS road bike. I use the 29er for mt. biking (at parks since Miami doesn't even have a hill) and commuting to work (avg. 4 days a week.) and the SS for long distance events, etc. I want to get a cruiser, and also be able to use it for getting to work. I want at least a three speed so I can ride faster than what most cuisers come set up with gearing wise. Any suggestions for me? I'm looking to keep it under $500, new...not used.

The Magazine
Le Pen Is Mightier
Why, just four years after its supposed demise, does France's National Front have its highest poll ratings ever?
Mar 14, 2011, Vol. 16, No. 25 • By CHRISTOPHER CALDWELL
Sarkozy's low rating in the polls creates a situation somewhat similar to that of the United States in 2008. The country is growing more conservative, while the unpopularity of a conservative president makes the election of a president from the left look almost inevitable. The left, however, has estranged itself from its old electoral base in recent decades. More interested in multiculturalism than in socialism, it is now a deeply fragmented collection of elite hobby movements, with little connection to the working class.
This fragmentation explains why the example of 2002 haunts the Socialists so much. There were plenty of votes on the left to beat Jean-Marie Le Pen with, but they were divided among Communists, Trotskyites, Revolutionary Communists, Greens, and others. The very experience of that makes a repeat of the outcome less likely. The think tank Terra Nova, whose members describe it as the French equivalent to the Center for American Progress, has devised an American-style system of primaries intended to assemble the left into a broad front. It hasn't completely succeeded—a variety of charismatic ecologists remain outside the fold—but it will probably gather enough voters to advance a candidate to the second round. That is why people talk as often of an upside-down 2002—with Sarkozy getting ousted in the first round—as they do of a straightforward repeat.
The Socialists have another problem, though. Their party seems booby-trapped against producing a candidate the electorate at large can tolerate. Martine Aubry—the mayor of Lille and daughter of Jacques Delors, the great technocrat of the European Union—may be the most partisan figure in French politics. This gives her the best network within the party and the worst prospects in a general election. A solution to this problem is at hand, but it is not certain the Socialists wish to take it. Dominique Strauss-Kahn—statesman, economist, author—is outstripping everyone in nationwide polls. He has not yet announced that he will be a candidate, but his American-born wife, Anne Sinclair, has hinted broadly on her blog that he will run. Strauss-Kahn not only sits at the pinnacle of the world banking establishment, he was the minister of finance for a Socialist government that privatized more enterprises than any in recent French history and ran a considerably tighter fiscal ship than New Labour did in Britain. These are both good things to a free-marketer's eye, but they are not viewed in that light in the Socialist party, particularly not after the financial crisis of 2008. Nominating Strauss-Kahn is a "false good idea," as one political philosopher put it, the equivalent of the Democrats' nominating Robert Rubin for president. Strauss-Kahn would win, but Socialists, after four years of pillorying Sarkozy as the "president of the rich," might have to bite their tongue to nominate someone who simply is rich.
European Front
The number of French people who don't naturally gravitate either to the Socialists or to Sarkozy's UMP is large, and there is reason to believe it is growing. Hannah Arendt wrote somewhere that right-wing movements appeal to the "déclassé of all classes," and Marine Le Pen is frank about wanting those votes. "The working class, the unemployed, young people" is Marine Le Pen's first description of who votes for the FN, but she is quick to note that women are backing the party in greater numbers.
Her offices are up a flight of stairs in a modernistic blue cube of a building in a sleepy residential street in Nanterre, a working class suburb a few miles west of the Arc de Triomphe. Ms. Le Pen is wearing jeans and boots, as she has just returned from campaigning among farmers at the annual Salon de l'Agriculture, a command performance for politicians. (Sarkozy, visiting the Salon three years ago, made the newspapers when he called a man who had insulted him an "asshole.")
Ms. Le Pen has a difficult balancing act. It would be unseemly, as a politician, to embrace the anti-Semitic ideas that Jean-Marie Le Pen harbored within the FN. But it would be unseemly, as a daughter, to repudiate her father. As one would expect, she is vague on the personal question, beyond saying that the image of her father, whom she always refers to as "Jean-Marie Le Pen," was "rather sulfurous." But she is straightforward on the political question. "For a long time there has been a suspicion of anti-Semitism hanging over the FN," she says. "I think any statements that would feed that suspicion are out of place. The FN isn't racist, it isn't anti-Semitic. Its politics are not based on religion, race, or national origin but on what's best for France and French people. That goes without saying, even if it's sometimes necessary to say it."
One prominent Socialist told me he thought Ms. Le Pen was an "exceptional leader," and when I asked him what made her so he said only that she had not been alive during World War II. She is used to this. "You know," she says, "politics is about the people who practice it. By changing personalities, the National Front has, by definition, changed its vision. . . . I have three kids I raise alone for reasons that are tied to my personal life. That gives me a sensibility that is different from [Jean-Marie Le Pen's] and brings me closer to certain kinds of French people."
But if, as the Socialist says, the new popularity of the FN under Ms. Le Pen's leadership were just a matter of her personality or experience, that would imply that the ostracism of the FN in years past was only a matter of personality, too. And it clearly was not. The FN's old ideology of interwar rightism was worthy of rejection, and is still. If Ms. Le Pen is winning the allegiance of 19 percent of poll respondents, where her father never rose above 12 percent in preelection polls, there must be some new ideological element.
And that is provided by the European Union. The fact is that, despite the continued enthusiasm for it among their governing classes, the French people have more Europe than they want. In 2005, in an electoral battle as contentious as any in the past half century, a sizable majority voted "no" on a referendum on a new continent-wide constitution. Their reasons may have been varied—some voted no out of nationalism, others out of a conviction that EU membership made France more capitalist than it should be—but their verdict was unambiguous. That majority has been ignored, and much of the constitution was subsequently enacted through the so-called Lisbon Treaty. Clearly, European peoples have lost hold on the levers by which they once held their politicians accountable, and in France, the FN is the only party that speaks squarely for those who are bothered by this development.
Once Europe is identified as the problem, a political program comes into view—one aimed at restoring powers, formal and informal, that have been relocated abroad. Ms. Le Pen likens her movement to the Tea Party. To an extent that would surprise those familiar with the old FN, Ms. Le Pen is comfortable talking about economics. She would withdraw from the European Union and from the euro, which she rejects on the grounds that it is not an "optimal currency area," in the sense laid out by the economist Robert Mundell. Who can dispute that? Her reading of the austerity plans being imposed on Greece and Ireland is that "they are destroying the peoples to save the currency."
Whether or not Ms. Le Pen's program is workable, it has a logic to it that Europe's major party programs have lacked. Parties of the left tend to regulate business while accepting the free movement of labor, roughly speaking, and parties of the right promote entrepreneurship while cracking down on migrants. Outside of Europe, France would acquire two new policy tools—borders and a currency—and Ms. Le Pen shows an inclination to use them to regulate both labor and capital. She deplores the EU's having opened continental markets to Chinese textiles, and she describes immigration as the "little sister of globalization," not a compliment in her book. "It's meant to lower wages," she says. "That's just supply and demand."
Ms. Le Pen's chances of winning the presidential election next year are vanishingly slim. The FN has a long, mostly unpleasant history with the French electorate, and French voters would be shallow indeed if they forgot it overnight. But the party is evolving, and what it is evolving into is a genuine antiglobalist alternative to the UMP and the Socialists, both of which are sufficiently tied to the present state of affairs that they cannot respond to the French electorate's clearly expressed views on the EU. Recent European history offers a number of instances of parties on the hard right evolving into responsible governing parties. The Flemish nationalist movement in Belgium has produced more than one of these. Gianfranco Fini, Silvio Berlusconi's former coalition partner, began as leader of the Alleanza Nazionale, a party descended from Mussolini, but now he might fairly be considered a politician of the center left. The enthusiasm for Marine Le Pen may be a fad. But it may also be the beginning of a long process, at the end of which we will be left with a new kind of Western European opposition party.

Serena suffers crushing defeatComment on this story
Paris – Defending champion and world No 1 Serena Williams suffered a crushing 6-2 6-2 defeat by Spain's Garbine Muguruza in the second round of the French Open on Wednesday to follow her elder sister Venus out of the second grand slam of the year.
On a chilly day in Paris, Serena never looked the force that has won 17 major titles. Her 20-year-old opponent broke the American's serve twice early in the first set and made the most of a series of unforced errors by Williams.
The 35th ranked Spaniard kept up the pressure and the match turned out to be a repeat of the nightmare of 2012, when Williams lost in the first round, rather than the glory of 2013 when she beat Maria Sharapova in the final here.
A netted return from Williams sent the Spaniard into ecstasy and even Williams's mother, Oracene, smiled as Muguruza leapt about the court. "Of course, it's amazing," Muguruza said. "I had to be really aggressive and focused.
"Today is a great day. I'm so happy," she shouted.
Serena said: "It was just one of those days, you can't be on (your game) every day. It's not the end of the world, there's always next year."
The Williams sisters had been due to meet in the third round but Venus had felt the chill of defeat when she became the first seed to lose in the second round, falling 2-6 6-3 6-4 to Anna Schmiedlova of Slovakia.
The 29th seed, wearing long sleeves to stay warm in temperatures of 14C, has never won the claycourt grand slam in 16 visits and the former world No 1, now 32, may have to accept she never will.
Schmiedlova, aged 19 and ranked 56 in the world, wasted two match points on Williams's serve before the American hit wide to set up a third, and she won the match with a fine backhand cross court.
"This is the biggest win of my life," said Schmiedlova, who broke down when expressing how much Venus had meant to her when she was growing up.
Venus had got off to a solid start against Schmiedlova, winning four games in a row to take the opening set.
Her opponent, however, stepped up a gear and after an early exchange of breaks, stole the nine-times grand slam champion's serve in the seventh game of the second set and levelled the contest when her opponent netted a forehand.
Schmiedlova pulled through thanks to a series of fine passing shots. Venus Williams was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease in September 2011 and since losing in the fourth round of Wimbledon that year, has lost in the first or second round of every grand slam she has taken part in.
Russian Mikhail Youzhny, the men's 15th seed, joined her in heading for the exit when he lost 6-0 6-3 3-6 6-4 to Czech Radek Stepanek. Eugenie Bouchard, the 18th seed, recovered from a slow start in chilly conditions to beat Julia Goerges of Germany in three sets, winning eight in a row to set up her winning position. – Reuters

The object is to assemble the 15 piece diagonal interlocking burr puzzle.
Using diagonally oriented wooden pieces has been a distinct feature of wooden interlocking puzzles made in Finland for over 100 years. The National Museum in Helsinki exhibits a diagonal burr made around 1910 but it is known that as early as 1888 Chandler patented a 13 piece diagonal burr. Diagonal burrs are said to have been made by lumberjacks in camp for over 60 years, are known to have been made by Finnish soldiers in the trenches in WWII and as recently as 1985 were being made by Finnish puzzle designer Matti Linkola, but these days are not commonly made.
We expect this 15 piece version to be quite a handful. It has a slight change on original Finnish design which helps lock the puzzle together. In 2000 Mr Puzzle also made a Limited Edition 25 piece version but that sold out very quickly.Size: 90mm x 90mm x 90mm

Thurman Thomas, former Bill superstar and NFL Hall of Famer, joined the CBSSports.com Football Podcast on Thursday to talk about the Bills' current situation (it can't be summed up any differently, although Thomas provides some nice insight into how early the Bills might draft a quarterback in 2011 -- hint: EARLY), as well as the possibility that C.J. Spiller could be Buffalo's next feature back.
While we had him on the line, we also discussed the NFL's new policy on big hits (he's got a fairly amusing take on why we should blame quarterbacks too), LaDainian Tomlinson's change of scenery (you may recall Thomas played a season with the Dolphins before retiring) and the big crop of running backs up for vote in Canton during the next induction (Thomas is also working with FansChoice.com, where fans can give input into a voting process that typically excludes the layman).

Relying on the Relay
American Cancer Society uses earnings for research, programs
Editor's note: The Eudora News will have a story focusing on a different aspect of the Relay for Life each week until the event, June 7 and 8.
An elementary school student learning about cancer in a mobile classroom, a breast cancer patient trying on a wig, and a Kansas University Medical Center scientist studying how viruses affect tumors have at least one thing in common: They rely on money raised from Eudorans participating in the Relay for Life.
The more than $50,000 Eudora raised at each event in the past couple years finds its way to various American Cancer Society programs in the state and around the nation. Money that doesn't go toward cancer research, prevention, detection and treatment or patient services goes back into fund-raising or toward management and other general concerns of the organization.
Some money raised in Eudora will go toward projects and programs in the Heartland division of the ACS, a region encompassing Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma. For instance, the mobile classrooms that teach children how to live a healthy life are a program unique to the division.
"We're the big semi that goes around," said Dustin Yowell, ACS director for public relations and marketing for the Heartland division.
The mobile classroom is based in the Kansas City area.
"It seems like we all have the one thing that the others don't do," Yowell said of the different divisions. "It's kind of cool."
Other aspects of ACS financed by Relay for Life exist nation-wide.
"A lot of the breast cancer and prostate cancer (programs) are all the same because we all get our materials from the national offices and our training from national," Yowell said.
Even though the national ACS offices distribute money for cancer research, Yowell said researchers at nearby Kansas and Kansas State universities, as well as the KU Medical Center, received funding from Relays.
"Just in our own four states we have seven research (operations)," Yowell said. "Missouri has a lot of research because of St. Louis University and Washington University."
More than $1.5 million in research money comes back to Kansas, said Michelle Olson of the American Cancer Society in Topeka.
"Cancer research has paved the way for chemotherapy treatment and has helped treat children for leukemia," she said. "We're finding ways to enhance the mammogram and pap spear."
Every man who had test for prostate cancer benefited from cancer research, she said.
In addition to research, Relay money finances ACS programs that touch cancer patients and their families directly. The organization offers seminars to help patients cope with the side effects of cancer treatment, transports patients to treatment facilities, and offers support groups to both patients and families.
One of those seminars, Look Good, Feel Better, is for women undergoing chemotherapy.
"It helps them cope with their appearance," Olson said. "We have a TLC catalogue of products for women in treatment and past treatment which has things like mastectomy forms and products."
Even those who are not affected by cancer benefit from programs aimed at detection and prevention of the disease, and activities that discourage children from smoking.
The organization has a stake in the political arena as well through its efforts at advocacy, which aim to ensure funding for cancer programs, ensure access to treatment, and push anti-tobacco legislation. A Eudora Relay for Life participant, Taylour Tedder, an Olathe middle school student, recently went to Topeka on an advocacy trip on behalf of the ACS. He and others went to the capitol to try and speak with state legislators about tobacco taxes.
Nearly 20 percent of the ACS's funds go back into fund-raising. Most communities get as much of their even underwritten or donated, but costs are still associated with putting on Relays, Olson said.
"I can't congratulate volunteers enough," she said. "These people represent the largest source of not-for-profit research in the U.S."

- Deliberations in Luis Ramos murder trial to resume today
- Expert: Northeast El Paso teen stabbing victim drowned in his own blood
- Trial of man accused in Northeast El Paso stabbing death continues today
- Northeast El Paso stabbing-death trial set to begin Monday
Previous: Jurors have begun deliberating the sentence for a 24-year-old man convicted of aggravated assault in the stabbing death of a former Andress High School football player.
Luis Carlos Ramos faces two to 20 years in prison in the death of Angel Garcia, 18, at a Northeast El Paso house party on Nov. 20, 2009. Ramos had been originally charged with murder.
During closing arguments this morning, defense attorney Jim Darnell urged jurors to sentence Ramos to 10 years of probation, citing Ramos' lack of a previous felony conviction. Darnell also told jurors Ramos, who worked as a laborer for Mimbela Construction, is a good father to his two young daughters and is one of the main caretakers for his disabled father-in-law.
Darnell acknowledged Ramos' previous arrests for family violence, including an April 2009 misdemeanor conviction for assault/family violence, for hitting his wife Jessica Garibay.
Darnell pointed out Ramos had successfully completed his 16-month probation term on one charge, which was eventually dismissed.
In the most recent arrest, which took place in December 2011, Ramos was accused of striking Garibay and hurting one of the couple's daughters.
Assistant District Attorney Kyle Myers told jurors that Ramos was on probation when he was arrested for Garcia's slaying. He also told jurors prosecutors should have petitioned the court to revoke Ramos' probation, but didn't.
"You should not trust Luis Ramos," Myers told jurors after asking them to sentence Ramos to 15 to 20 years in prison. "He is violent and he is dangerous. He commits crimes and people get hurt."

Members of the board of managers will begin preliminary interviews with candidates for El Paso Independent School District superintendent today, weeks after tossing a pool of applicants submitted by an outside search firm.
Board President Dee Margo said he expects to interview at least four candidates and possibly more in closed session over the next two days. He said the quality of candidates will determine the size of the applicant pool and the speed with which the board selects a group of finalists.
"We're just starting," he said. "Our timeline is going to be based on the most competitive and competent and committed individuals we can find."
The board voted last month to have recruiting firm PROACT Search restart the search process for superintendent candidates, saying they were dissatisfied with the existing pool of applicants. Board members also extended the contract of interim Superintendent Vernon Butler, who previously insisted he would retire after June, through October.
PROACT Vice President of Operations Robert Stockwell told board members in May that 92 individuals had applied for the superintendent job as it built the first pool of applicants. The firm did not return requests for comment on the current applicant pool Monday.
The district has been without a permanent superintendent since November 2011, when Lorenzo García stepped down months after a federal indictment related to cheating at the district. He is now serving a 3 å-year federal prison sentence on fraud charges related to the cheating scheme.
After former Chief of Staff Terri Jordan and later retired district administrator Kenneth George served briefly as interim superintendent, Butler was appointed to the position in September 2012. He agreed to stay on through October to help provide direction to the state-appointed board of managers, who took office in May.
The board will use the interviews this week, along with other information about the candidates, to help determine the set of finalists for a permanent leader.
After identifying three to five such candidates, the board will seek input on the finalists from a group of community members before selecting the superintendent. Although the search process has already lasted far into the summer -- an original timeline called for a finalist to be selected by late June -- Margo said the board will take as much as time as necessary to find the right fit.
"Ideally, you would want somebody in by the beginning of the next school year. That certainly would be the target," he said. "But we dismissed all of the first applicants as not qualified. So, this is a whole new pool. We're going to be as diligent as we can."
The prolonged process has drawn concerns from teacher representatives who say a decision late in the summer could mean the district loses some applicants. Norma De La Rosa, president of the El Paso Teachers Association, questioned the board's refusal to set at least a target date for selecting the next superintendent.
"It puts applicants in a precarious position because not all school districts are willing to let somebody go halfway through a new year," she said. "The time of year -- it doesn't matter within a business, but within a school district it does."
