But this isn't a poker game, kids.
A poker game is EXACTLY what it is.
Its called "the sacking of a President" . Why is it so hard for him to get that? Only the deluded will continue to give him re-election money. Perhaps the newly recognized Libyan Government will give him re-election money too. Why not bill for the US military costs? Oh no , that would mean that part of our social security system that they want to send to the middle east would actually stay home. Everybody wake up, the office of the President is the fiduciary of the land. Obama is incompetent and should be sacked along with all the inflated crony government programs , electronic health records and health insurance requirements + penalties, defense spending and the rest of the bogus government structures that suck the life out of every American. Remember all those agencies that were supposed to be regulating things , yeah those agencies... What regulation?BTW isn't it time for the doctors to take the 21% pay cut that was passed 6 years ago? Its time people working in government earned minimum wage and the same applies to the defense industry. SUCK IT UP!
Excactly. So what?. At least I'm sitting on my golden chair while everyone and everything else goes to hell?
The writer of this article makes sense if you think At least I'm "winning". You are an Idiot
Wow, that was really well stated. Thank you!!
I agree wholeheartedly with you, Lou. He sounds like a frat boy playing at punditry. But unfortunately this celebration of scorecard politics is what's in vogue these days. And we wonder how we've come to the brink of financial collapse in this country.
If any columnist at a major publication has ever written a column displaying more naivete, I do not know who. I believe the social scientists call the basis for this "motivated cognition".
Washington spent the years leading up to 2001 on the Clinton impeachment circus while 9/11 was being set up. What new catastrophe is aborning with the diversion of all of Washington to this totally manufactured debt ceiling crisis?
Once the US loses the AAA rating on its bonds by reason of missed payments of any kind, the interest costs of US bonds will increase for years (further adding to the national debt, of course) and their attractiveness as the last safe monetary haven on earth for investment will be reduced. While foreign investors hold less than half the US debt (and the Chinese just 10% or so, contrary to the myth of the nutters), their presence in the market serves to keep rates we must pay down.
So many Americans live from social security check to social security check, and veterans check to veterans check, that real human misery would be imposed on them by those who believe that failing to lift the debt ceiling is without consequence. That is the worst consequence of the nutters' folly of this year.
So if I understand this correctly, if we go over the brink the Republicans win politically. And if we get up to the brink and the President balks, then the Republicans still win politically? Good for them on being masters of brinksmanship. Would the author care to comment on who actually loses if we go over the brink? I can't help but think that the pinch might be felt by more that just us Dems, or have the brink masters not thought that part through yet?
It's also in vogue to blame Washington and politicians for everything. And while that's hardly unreasonable on the debt issue, it becomes easier to understand how they're able to stoop to the lowest common denominator of tit-for-tat scorecard politics and get away with it, when editorialists play cheerleader all the way to the brink.
One more thing I just had to mention, because it's gnawing at me. There's a sentence from this column that I just had to seek clarification, because if it's how I interpret it, it's just flat out wrong: "That President Obama even has to sit in a room and get smarmy lectures from a lowly House whip is a victory for the Republicans." If that's a reference to Cantor, then it's not correct.
Cantor was the whip but this year became the House Majority Leader, making him second in command to Speaker Boehner--not exactly what I would term "lowly." I'm left with this assumption since there is no mention of House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy.
If that sentence is mistaken, as I interpreted it (and where is the editing WSJ?), then the point itself has no credibility. But then, couldn't we say the same about the column?
President Obama said he was not sure whether Social Security checks can go out as planned unless the debt ceiling is increased. When a President of a supposedly free country can threaten the people by suggesting that the very money that they were forced to turn over to the government to "secure" their retirement may not be available to be returned because said government cannot secure its own financial affairs, never has a greater case been made to aggresively scale back this teetering socialist behemoth. We should all be very afraid and ashamed of what we have let this country become.
I will be thrilled if it comes Aug 2 and there is still no deal on the debt ceiling. I will be extra-thrilled if SS check and other government checks are withheld. This will really teach all the welfare queens and lazy deadbeat a lesson on responsibility.
It will be a real wake up call. But I know, I am just dreaming.
p/s: Yes, SS is a welfare and a Ponzi scheme, on the back of younger generation. Only people without conscience and integrity will insists that they are entitled to the full payment till they die.
I have to assume that the writer of this article is not old enough to remember the financial crisis of 2008.
He is looking forward to another 777 point drop in the Dow.
If the US will be downgratded by the rating agencies that will be the tombstone for the US economy.
Unfortunately the USA-economy is in the tank.
Bad education, a third-world infrastructure, vanishing industry, there is little hope. Its not the 80s anymore, the rest of the world is competing.
Good luck for you.
Wake up!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Republicans, hold fast. I think OBAMA has no bluff!!! He will fold. American people do NOT WANT MORE SPENDING and smoke and mirrors about raising taxes and cutting spending are lies from the DEMS. If they were serious, they would have done whatever they wanted when they were majority!!!! I only hope that during this campaign, the RNC will splice ALL of Obama's speeches together, he was AGAINST raising the debt ceiling before he was for it, He was against the war before he was for it. and many more examples are out there. He is a TOTAL DISASTER for this country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So refreshing to read solid journalism, tell it like it is !!
It'sss... summer time... and the cotton (picking) high... them dems fish are a jumping in the frying pan about to die... so hush little baby Pelosie... dooount you cry nooomore.

WSJ editors take note: I don't visit your website to read half-rate, naive, and unabashedly partisan articles.
Forget the political scorecard, for a "Republican victory", if the US defaults on its debt obligations, there were be hell to pay for years to come.
Have you noticed the norm now is, we cannot converse without first taking a stand on a party soapbox?
Comments begin and end with vitriol
Liberal this, republican that; such extreme polarisation in our country.
Columnists blatantly choosing party over common sense and country, and getting such support from us
When politicians have the masses(read, far from rich) voting and speaking against their own interests, that move is beyond brilliant!
When did this happen? How did this happen?
Like it or not, see it or not, if you begin and end political discourse demonising the 'other' party, you're being used, Of course people will never believe that
Well done politicians, well done
i just like what wiseguy had to say. that ss is welfare .did he go to school are can he read. every time you get paid money is took out for social security for when you get old and can't work it earn not giving. so if you say it welfare than your grand parent your mom and dad are the bigger welfare lose of all time dead beat. there is a saying ( if you don't take care of your own it will not be there for someday _) think about that lose
I do believe, PLEASE... that your opinion is... excessively cute. On August 2nd, Obama can quote President Bush The First's treasury secretary... and simply say... "We will not leave our american fighting forces stranded without support, so we will pay their costs. Everything else shuts down. Medicaire, Education disbursements for the coming year, Unemployment Benefits, Retiree Benefits for government workers... - UNTIL the Republicans decide to take care of the Americans who voted them into office." Seems like this will be the ultimate litmus test for voters who voted Tea Party. THIS is what you get! Obamacare is a trifling cost compared to what will be shut-down after the military costs are paid.
Remember the WSJ is a Murdock publication. Don't expect too much!
Mike, quick, go back to Media Matters and see what Mr. Soro's wants you to say next ! Hurry ! LOL @ you !
To: Mike is an Idiot
Don't be so sensitive - geesh. You obviously take this stuff on here much more seriously than I do. I have no interest in what Mr. Soro's wants. By the way, your tabloid mentality is showing.
Don't forget, obama and the democrats also see the mcconnell plan as a viable fallback. Republicans lose too.
Eric Cantor's actions are recklessly stupid and irresponsible. Even if the country has a default Mr. Cantor will make big money in his investment portfolio betting against the US.
Have all the critics of this piece ever considered what the consequences inevitably will be of the Obama status quo? You have a government that borrows 42 cents of every dollar it spends - coupled with a demographic time bomb about to explode in terms of baby boom retirements and declining fertility rates. Obama made the size of the Federal government grow from 20% to 25% GDP in only two years - not bad for an erstwhile community organizer. That doesn't even consider the impact of the increasingly hostile regulatory state - something whose cost, when quantified, is a further drain on the private sector.
If you voted for Obama because you needed to prove you weren't a racist -- you now need to vote for anyone but in order to prove that you're not a complete idiot.
one of the dumber columns you have written.
Those Obamabots that attack the column, why don't you give us your reasons for attacking someone's opinion. It is called the Deal Journal and the author pretty much called it out correctly. Just because he doesn't bow and praise your Messiah doesn't mean it isn't correct. You guys just hate it when you see your Emperor is wearing no clothes.
I hope Cantor and the Republicans keep it up and stick it to Obama. He deserves it for lying to us. There is enough money to pay Social Security and the Veterans and we have enough money to pay the interest on the debts. But unless Obama starts thinking like a real leader and stop lying to us, he is going to continue to lead us over the cliff. And I chose not to be a lemming like you Obamabots.
To "shortladi702":
Twisted it whatever way you want, SS is a welfare and a ponzi scheme. The deadbeats and irresponsible ones who did not save for their own retirements deserve to be in the state they are.
Just to make thing simpler to you, if you do nothing and receive $1 from the government, everyone should agree that is welfare, right? But if you put in $1 and receive $2 from the government, don't you think that is welfare too?
That is exactly what SS is. A ponzi scheme to finance welfare for the irresponsible deadbeats.
As I said before, I am just dreaming for people to understand this and the day SS checks are stopped.
The auther is right on. This is a "crisis" manufactured by the Dems because they refuse to reign in out-of-control spending. The interest on the national debt is only 15% of gross national revenue each month. If the debt ceiling is not raised, the interest can still be paid and in fact constituionally MUST be paid. There will be no default unless Obama chooses for there to be one. If the interest is not paid in August, it will be because Obama chooses not to pay it. If social security and Medicare checks don't go out, it will be because Obama chooses not to send them. No, the government will not have enough money for everything, but pay what must be paid first and we'll be just fine. Stand firm, Republicans!
Moxie? More like utter and complete stupidity. Why did Cantor run for office if he doesn't like government?
"That President Obama even has to sit in a room and get smarmy lectures… is a victory for the Republicans. So is the fact that… America's AAA debt rating [is] under review."
"What exactly do they have to lose by letting America fall..."
"Eric Cantor should be thrilled to be seen as… the madman... who is going to blow up the world."
What planet are you from? When did destroying America become fashionable? Is selfish gratification the only value of Wall Street welfare queens?
to Richard, fan of tea party
Seriously? Do you need to be reminded of the past ten years. Ten trillion in debt racked up by your "fiscal conservative" buddies in so that now, finally, they wake up like a drunken sailor wallowing in his own filth in Bangcock and wondering who spent all his money? Republicans did, that's who! Educate yourself.
Eric Cantor, now, all of a sudden, a fiscal conservative? Low-life reptile chameleon is more like it, cynically playing you for the sucker you are, if you really believe what you type.
The only ones destroying America are the Dems, wildaburke. Republicans are saving it by refusing to allow Obama to borrow us into bankruptcy.
Economies as powerful as America's can fail. And it starts with out-of-control borrowing and spending. By standing in the way of Obama, Republicans just might save us. If he had his way, Obama would undoubtedly destroy us.
to One of the Last Smart Americans:
I am educated. Apparently, you are one of the many dumb Americans, not one of the smart ones. Our deficit was bad when Obama took office, to be sure. But under Obama it has ballooned.
I make no comment on Eric Cantor. I'm talking about the issues.
Apparently Cantor makes money if the govt. doesn't reach agreement on the debt ceiling. How's that? A conflict of interest in my opinion. He has $15,000 invested in ProShares Trust Ultrashort 20+ Year Treasury EFT - http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/06/27/eric_cantor_conflict_of_interest . I'm in VA and will never vote for Cantor or the likes of him... F*#@(in' bastard.
Dear Richard, fan of the tea party:
Another -- Dick Cheney famously proclaimed that "Ronald Regan proved that deficits don't matter."
For 30 years our country has declined under the Wall Street gone Will affect of the Republican Supply Side Ideology; a thinly veiled euphemism for the deadly sin of Greed.
We have labored under the burden of he Regan-Bush-Bush-Cheney debt you now ask the Republicans to save us from.
Perhaps we should invite Al Qeada to cooperate in Homeland Security as well.
Seriously ? SERIOUSLY ?? How in the world did you get to write for the Wall Street Journal ? Oh wait, the WSJ is now owned by Murdoch, is'nt it..

For 30 years this country has labored under the weight of Regan-Bush-Bush-Cheney created debt you now ask the Republicans to save us from.
Perhaps we should invite Al Qaeda to oversee Homeland Security as well.
Eric Cantor's brinkmanship in the debt ceiling dealing means he has brought us all the the brink to the edge fruitlessly.
Damage has been done, just what we did not need.
we are feeling the damage, in the jobless numbers, the economy, consumer confidence and now our debt rating. The vote is next week and if it does not pass,Eric Cantor and the Tea Party's future will be on the line. It may well be the self destruction of both. But we will all take the hit.
The debt ceiling issue is a straw man. Tea Partiers have leveraged tons of paper Gold reserves, and if the dollar doesn't crash in August should the Treasury be forced to renege on *any* U.S. debt, (doesn't matter if it is veterans, disabled, retired or the poor who takes the brunt of it first) the margin calls, fees and interest will *bankrupt* them LOL.
Are you kidding! Republicans were not worried about the debt 4 years ago. Now they are saying deficits don't matter or are they saying we should start lowering the deficit. They have been nothing but wishy washy and confusing. They do not care about balancing any budget. They just want to preserve there "brand". To hell what is best for Americans. Obamas tax cuts is the best one so far. They are just angry because they didn't think of it. Hold Strong Obama!
Amazing piece. Wonder what the Bancrofts are thinking right now.
all these comments about the Republicans not worried about the debt limit when they controlled Congress through 2005 are kind of amusing. First of all, the debt was trillions less just a few short years ago. Second, what were the Democrats saying, except of course Mr. Obama who voted against raising the debt limit.
To suggest that this countrys greatest generation is on welfare and deadbeats is well,insane. My eighty-five year old mother who lives on less than thirteen hundred dollars a month after paying into S.S. for close to fifty years might not agree with him. (Like to spit some beechnut in that dudes eye) If wages had been going up the past twenty years like politicians,doctors,unions and corporate execs I doubt we`ld be talking about S.S. Lets face it,whats good for corporate America is good for corporate America. Eric Cant`or wont hurt business has to give a little. If its more important to take down President Obama to him I just hope he doesn`t take U.S. down with him.
No way to follow the logic of this argument so ti must be false!.
Downsider, You from D.C., or from behind the great wall of New York
Evan Newmark's grandstand cheering on of Eric Cantor's take-no-prisioners negotiating style illustrates a problem our country has with pundits of all stripes. They have zero accountability. If our economy goes over a cliff on August 3 because no compromise could be reached on raising the debt, I expect to see a new column from Nr, Newmark pointing out that he said one of the possibilities of Mr. Cantor's approach was disaster. Because we would have only sixty cents for every dollar of obligation on August 3, millions of Americans would be adversely affected. Not Mr. Newmark who will continue to get his paycheck and, no doubt, continue to criticize the shortcomongs of Washington. As a conservative Virginia independent, I believe comopromise is appropriate and necessary.

Loved the new folders and can see lots of ways to use them, especially the flower.
I especially loved the large butterfly in the July Embossing Folder kit and all the great ways to use it. Thank you!
I love the butterfly. I really love LeNae's card
This is a winner. I loved the metal leaf so much I made 2 cards, one with blue holographic trim. Also made 2 of the words card with pink, purple and white. I changed the colors here a bit, too. Great designs on the sample cards and the folders, too.
If I could afford it I would join all of the personal shopper kits...This was my first monthly kit for embossing folders and I must say they are everything and more...love both and looking forward to the next one
Really enjoy having the two types of folders.
The sept issue was the greatest.
Thanks, Lori, for helping resolve my kit issue from July! You went the extra step and sent out my kit - and I am so happy! PW has the very best customer service of any company I do business with. You treat us like family. I love getting the newest items BEFORE everyone else - and with project ideas just for us!
I make all the Christmas cards that my mother gives/sends. I combined these embossing folders with the cutting dies to make some of them, as well as my versions of the ones in the newsletter. All turned out great! I haven't been disappointed with any of the folders I received.
I am glad that these (embossing folders) are part of the Personal Shopper items. Thanks for having such great products for us.
I really love these folders. I am looking forward to the July set. I really love the ideas you give on different ways to use not only these great embossing folders but all the products you sell. I plan to put them on a portable drive or disc and watch them on my TV. I make paper, most of my embellishments so I put less in our landfills. (Yes I'm a save the planet through recycling person) and your products bring out the best in everything I do.I also do product evaluations (working at my level of expertise)for craft product manufactures. So I use their products interactively to judge how well they work with other products. This is very important when it comes to consumer satisfaction. The wider range we have using a product, the more valuable that product is to us, esp. in today's economy. Thank You Paper Wishes. You are a valuable asset to the crafting industry in so many ways.

My primary passions are aerials and partner acrobatics
I enjoy gaming in all forms, computer, RPGs, board games. Don't care much for word puzzles or word games but Bananagrams is pretty fun. I run regular D&D games and also play with another group of friends.
I don't watch much television, lately just cartoons and the Daily Show. Sadly the news is so bad lately even Daily Show can't make it funny sometimes.
I'm fairly outgoing and enjoy meeting new people. I try almost anything at least once, and sometimes several times just to understand it better. I often don't grasp the difficulty of something until I try it myself. I enjoy learning new things, even if only briefly, this balances out by the fact that I don't often see projects all the way through.
I'm kink positive but it isn't essential or necessary for positive relationships, or a central focus of my life.

A 31-year-old Augusta man told officers that he was shot by two men Saturday night in the 3400 block of McAlpine Drive in south Augusta.
According to a Richmond County sheriff's report, the man said the men fired at him while he was outside his home about 9:40 p.m. The man said the assailants were in a sport utility vehicle.
Officers said a bullet entered the man's right knee, exited and then entered his left calf. The man was taken to the Medical College of Georgia Hospital for treatment.
Good grief. Meadowbrook Area has been keeping them busy lately. I'll be sure not to mistake those popping noises for firecrackers and be ready to duck or dive behind cover if it sounds closer than usual.
Ouch! Had to be a pretty high caliber to go through a knee!

Mike Shanahan selected 21 players in the 2011 and 2012 drafts, and the seventeen who remain on the roster are set to enter a critical stage in their development. In the coming weeks, Redskins Insiders Tarik El-Bashir and Rich Tandler will take a look at what those players have accomplished thus far and what they still must do in order to solidify their status in the NFL.
Who: Jarvis Jenkins
Position: Defensive end
Draft year/round/pick: 2011/2/41st
Career to date: Jenkins' first three seasons have been mostly marked by adversity.
The Clemson product's pro career got off to a promising start in the summer of 2011. Then he suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during a preseason game and, what would have been his rookie season, turned into six months of rehab instead.
Upon returning in 2012, the 6-4, 315-pounder moved into the starting lineup in Week 3 after veteran Adam Carriker was lost for the season due to injury. Jenkins recorded 25 combined tackles and 13 quarterback hurries (according to ProFootballFocus.com) in a mostly solid sophomore season that gave coaches hope he might break out in his third season.
But instead of surging out of the gates in 2013, he suffered a setback in training camp. Jenkins was suspended by the NFL for the first four games for violating of the NFL's policy on banned performances-enhancing substances.
After being eased back into the lineup beginning in Week 5, Jenkins struggled to make a consistent impact. He finished the campaign with 22 combined tackles, five quarterback hurries and the first two sacks of his career.
Outlook for 2014: So far, Jenkins' career has been a tale of unfulfilled potential.
In 28 career regular season games, he's proven to be effective against the run and shown he's also capable of occupying blockers and opening lanes for linebackers. His next challenge, though, is a big one: he's got to round out his game by becoming a more disruptive pass rusher.
The good news for Jenkins (and the Redskins) is that he possesses upside. He's still only 25 years old, his surgically repaired knee no longer hampers him physically or gives him pause mentally and he's coachable. Jenkins will also be plenty motivated because he's entering a contract year. And there's this: Despite a change at the top, the Redskins are sticking with the 3-4 scheme and Jenkins will be playing for the same position coach (Jacob Burney) and defensive coordinator (Jim Haslett) next season. Familiarity, of course, always helps.
Everything seems to be in place. But now comes the hard part for Jenkins -- actually taking the next step.

My boyfriend Jason often accuses me of trying to shoehorn the dogs into activities he feels aren't an ideal fit: birthday parties, beach trips, Saturday morning brunches. Now, we have one more activity we can add to the list: Friday date nights. When Friday rolls around, I'm ready for fun with Jason but feel terrible if it means leaving the dogs home. What makes it worse are the hopeful looks...

Can you beat running on the beach?
I took this photo of Caity running with her dog Maggie while I was vacationing with my extended family in Cannon Beach, Ore. I had never met either one of them until that day, but when they zoomed by together, I just had to capture the moment. I am an obsessive beach and ocean lover, running is my favorite sport, and I hope it goes without saying that I'm a dog person, so for me, all of them...

Petco Park event bans German Shepherds and other breeds

Celebrating canines, August 26
Thursday is National Dog Day, which was founded in 2004 to acknowledge all the dogs who "work selflessly each day to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort." Even if you're naturally cranky like me and resent being told you need to show your appreciation on a particular day, it's hard to argue with the fundamental idea that dogs give us a great deal and deserve our best in return. I'm...

Having kids changes the way we see our pets
Does having kids change the way we see our pets?

The research conducted by a professor at Indiana University South Bend found that even people who used to think of their pets as kids often re-evaluate the relationship...

On the contrary, much of the available wall space is covered with photos of dogs. The entire restaurant is a memorial of...

The Beagle Has Landed
Triumph of the underdog.
Feb 25, 2008, Vol. 13, No. 23 • By PHILIP TERZIAN
This is not the first time that the virtues of what Uno's handler calls the "merry little hound" have been extolled in these pages. On May 30, 2005, describing my years of beagling in the northern Virginia countryside, this author wrote of the "ears flapping, tails wagging, and singing in the unmistakable baying voice of the hound that is music to a countryman's ears." It is no accident that Uno's recognition triggered a joyful response among his fellow citizens, arising from somewhere deep within the national consciousness. From Snoopy of Peanuts to LBJ's White House pack to last year's sleeper Underdog ($43.7 million box office revenue) beagles--in all their tri-colored, flop-eared, sad-eyed, short-haired, musically-voiced glory--are, for one year at least, America's dog.
Philip Terzian is literary editor of THE WEEKLY STANDARD.

10 home improvement projects that add value
Jon Chase for The Boston Globe
2. Kitchen remodeling
Payback: 68 to 120 percent
Typically one of the most expensive improvement projects. Careful planning and shopping will help minimize costs here. When remodeling the kitchen, remember to keep the project in line with the style and quality of the rest of the house and neighborhood. Just as there's no point in putting a pricey granite countertop on dated-looking 1970s cabinets, there's no point installing a $50,000 kitchen in a $200,000 house.

Heading into the 2013 Australian Open the No. 1 ranking spot in the WTA is once again going to be up for grabs. As things stand, Victoria Azarenka is at the top of the pile following a superb 2012 season, but Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams are both ready and waiting to take over from the Belarusian. Here's a run-down of the prospects of the three competitors.
Victoria Azarenka – Rank 1 – Points 10595
Vika is out in front by over 500 points but this won't necessarily count for a huge amount in Melbourne. As the defending champion she can only lose points or remain on the same total. This wouldn't be a concern if Azarenka was miles ahead of the rest of the field, but Sharapova and Serena are both breathing down her neck and are likely to take over if she falls early.
We all know that Azarenka is capable of great things. Her hardcourt slam results were the best in the WTA last year and she came within a whisker of winning the US Open. The significance of that outcome is that she was agonisingly close to beating Serena in a final on one of the four biggest stages in world tennis.
However, whilst Vika came close in Flushing Meadows she didn't manage to test Serena as much at the WTA Championships in Istanbul. The American seems to have a hold over her and this could be her toughest challenge to overcome. If this isn't enough, Azarenka also has an infected toe to deal with right now, which could derail her title bid.
Maria Sharapova – Rank 2 – Points – 10045
As last year's runner-up, Sharapova will also need to produce some great performances in order to improve on her ranking situation. Last year the Russian played superbly throughout the tournament before capitulating in the final. She went on to win the French Open in 2012 though, so it seems unfair to read too much into this. Masha isn't what you'd call a choker.
Unfortunately, Sharapova's chances also appear to have been hampered by injury. She had to pull out of the Premier tier Brisbane International at the beginning of the season due to a collarbone injury and her first match of the year will be in round one at Melbourne. This could turn out to be an issue for the Russian.
Whilst her preparations have not been ideal, Sharapova cannot be ruled out at this stage. She's one of the most dedicated players on the tour and won't need long to shake off the rust.
Serena Williams – Rank 3 – Points – 9750
After making a fourth round exit last season Serena has a major opportunity to pick up some points. 2000 are on offer for the winner and she only has 280 to defend. Heading into the tournament she's won the last two slams, picked up two Olympic golds and won the season-ending WTA Championships. She's undeniably the player to beat right now.
On hardcourts there are few who can test the world No. 3. Her serve is arguably the biggest in the WTA and her attacking game is usually devastating. Unforced errors can creep in on occasion but more often than not the American is a class above the rest of her peers.
If she doesn't take the lead here there's always the French Open. Serena suffered a shock loss against Virginie Razzano last year at Roland Garros and her points total is likely to rocket after her return.
My prediction is that Serena will return to the top of the pile at the end of the Melbourne fortnight. After last year's French Open slip up she'll be wary of complacency and harder to beat than ever.

"Suppose we could peer through a tiny peephole in time and chance upon a flash of what was coming up in the years ahead?" The questioner is Kinsey Millhone, middle-aged, two-time divorcee detective and junk food junkie star of Sue Grafton's popular "alphabet" mysteries; the book is 'N' Is for Noose. If Kinsey had had just a smidgen of foresight, she would never have taken her current case, handed down to her from her on-again, off-again flame and comrade in arms, Robert Dietz. We encounter the two this time out after Deitz's knee surgery, as Kinsey drives his "snazzy little red Porsche" back to Carson City, where she checks out his digs for the first time. To her surprise, he lives in a palatial penthouse, which--under the unspoken bylaws of investigative etiquette--she qualmlessly snoops through. They sit around for a fortnight playing gin rummy and eating peanut butter and pickle sandwiches together, but perennially single Kinsey grows wary: "It was time to hit the road before our togetherness began to chafe."
She heads off to meet Dietz's former client, Mrs. Selma Newquist, a devastated widow whose makeup tips seem to come from Tammy Faye Baker. Her husband Tom Newquist, a detective himself, had been working on a mysterious case when he abruptly died of a heart attack. Selma suspects foul play, but bless her, she isn't the brightest star in the sky and can't figure out what Tom was working on even though he's left behind enough paper to fill a recycling truck. Kinsey digs right in and roams the sleepy, one-horse town of Nota Lake for clues, interviewing a colorful cast of in-laws and locals. Beneath the quaint, quiet, country veneer, she unearths a bubbling hotbed of internal strife and familial double-dealing. Was Tom covering up for his partner? Is Selma protecting someone? Grafton's knack for gritty details and realistic characters ("[Selma's] skin tones suggested dark coloring, but her hair was a confection of white-blond curls, like a cloud of cotton candy"), coupled with the fast-paced, believable story line, makes for another delightful, entertaining read. --Rebekah Warren, Bestsellers editor --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
The noose of the title implies a tight knot, but the twists and turns of Grafton's latest plot are pretty loose. Not that the fans of self-reliant PI Kinsey Millhone's 13 previous alphabet appearances (from 1982's A Is for Alibi through 1996's M Is for Malice) are likely to object. This story takes Kinsey away from her Southern California coastal town of Santa Teresa to the small mountain community of Nota Lake in the Sierras. There, Selma Newquist hires Kinsey to ferret out the problem that had been seriously bothering her cop husband, Tom, before his recent death from a heart attack. Kinsey's efforts are soon stonewalled as the residents of Nota Lake unite, suggesting that the widow is being troublesome while the good-guy cop should be left to rest in peace. Kinsey wonders whether the townspeople might be right until she is seriously beaten up in her Nota Lake motel room. Focusing on finding the dead man's missing notebook, she follows his trail to a seedy hotel not far from Santa Teresa that he visited a few weeks before his death. While keeping a suspicious eye on the dead man's police partner and a few other local figures, Kinsey determines that Tom Newquist had been investigating an old murder near Nota Lake, which may have had ties to a similar, recent murder. Lots of coincidences, some over-the top characters, including a hyper-raunchy older woman, and some unprepared-for elements contribute to the rather chaotic climax. But Grafton's easy-reading, intelligent prose and her heroine's sharp humor, served up dark and wry, make up for a slew of plot weaknesses. 1,000,000 first printing; Mystery Guild main selection; Literary Guild selection; 18-city author tour.

Clashes between insurgents in Syria despite the truce

Damascus (the world) 09/20/2013 - our correspondent in Syria, said that there are violent clashes taking place between armed groups in the Syrian town of Azaz, despite the signing of a truce between them, and added that the banner of the so-called unification intervention to resolve the dispute between the so-called "Free Army and the Frente victory." He said our correspondent that there is talk of a truce was signed between the armed groups to resolve the dispute among them, but there are conditions that are re all places controlled by Front victory in addition to the release of detainees held by both sides and that there is a barrier doing the banner of unification of the separation between the groups fighting . He said there are points in front of the victory did not agree on this subject, and it seems that there are external links to some of the armed groups. Specifically with regard to fabricating the crisis on Azaz crossing and those areas in this town, because the issue is not confined to the town but spread to some other areas, including Deir ez-Zor. In the city of Raqqa, our correspondent said Nasra Front culling process will field some people because they were cooperating with the so-called "Free Army", this indicates that the expansion of clashes between armed groups in this regard. On the other hand, our correspondent said the Syrian army has cleaned up some of the towns of the armed groups in Homs, specifically in the countryside Bowl and phalanx villages west of Homs, where they were completely cleaned of the presence of armed groups, and there is still the operations carried out by the Syrian army. In Damascus, there were clashes this morning on Almazemih axis where there are still sporadic clashes carried out by the Syrian army, as well as on Jobar complete axis of the military operation in Turkmen Balgoth the East, where Syrian army tightens grip on armed groups present in those areas.

In the end, Schenectady resident Mattoon wowed the crowd with her nearly professional rendering of "Your Body is a Wonderland."
"I bought 35 raffle tickets, and I have to say, I've never won anything in my life," Mattoon gushed. "I am in complete shock. Thank goodness I remembered the words."
Cody gave a "shout out" to Mayor Romano over the airwaves thanking him for rockin' sense of humor.
"He donated his time on a weekend to come out help out," said Cody. "Not a lot of guys would do that."
Romano said he was going back to the village to borrow a John Mayer CD.
"I'd like to get to know some of his music now," said Romano.""

The work setting provides an opportunity to introduce overweight (i.e., Body Mass Index ≥ 25 kg/m2) adults to a weight management programme, but new approaches are needed in this setting. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of lifestyle counselling by phone or e-mail on body weight, in an overweight working population. Secondary purposes were to establish effects on waist circumference and lifestyle behaviours, and to assess which communication method is the most effective.
A randomized controlled trial with three treatments: intervention materials with phone counselling (phone group); a web-based intervention with e-mail counselling (internet group); and usual care, i.e. lifestyle brochures (control group). The interventions used lifestyle modification and lasted a maximum of six months. Subjects were 1386 employees, recruited from seven companies (67% male; mean age 43 (SD 8.6) y; mean BMI 29.6 (SD 3.5) kg/m2). Body weight was measured by research personnel and by questionnaire. Secondary outcomes fat, fruit and vegetable intake, physical activity and waist circumference were assessed by questionnaire. Measurements were done at baseline and after six months. Missing body weight was multiply imputed.
Body weight reduced 1.5 kg (95% CI -2.2;-0.8, p < 0.001) in the phone group and 0.6 kg (95% CI -1.3; -0.01, p = 0.045) in the internet group, compared with controls. In completers analyses, weight and waist circumference in the phone group were reduced with 1.6 kg (95% CI -2.2;-1.0, p < 0.001) and 1.9 cm (95% CI -2.7;-1.0, p < 0.001) respectively, fat intake decreased with 1 fatpoint (1 to 4 grams)/day (95% CI -1.7;-0.2, p = 0.01) and physical activity increased with 866 METminutes/week (95% CI 203;1530, p = 0.01), compared with controls. The internet intervention resulted in a weight loss of 1.1 kg (95% CI -1.7;-0.5, p < 0.001) and a reduction in waist circumference of 1.2 cm (95% CI -2.1;-0.4, p = 0.01), in comparison with usual care. The phone group appeared to have more and larger changes than the internet group, but comparisons revealed no significant differences.
Lifestyle counselling by phone and e-mail is effective for weight management in overweight employees and shows potential for use in the work setting.

Hey guys,

Your brother is quite talented!
Is there a way to get rid of the content-free splash page?
Somehow having all the photos together detracts from the beauty of each individual photo. Is it possible for the viewer software to show just one photo at a time?
Submit Your Webmaster Related Sites to the NB Directory
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
Anyway, I don't know if it can show one photo in the frame (maybe that feature is available in the pro premium version of the script)
However, photos on the sides are faded to black, that reduces the level of distraction somewhat
I'm feeling like a complete noob at the moment as i can't get ahead of your Splash Page. Pressing enter doesn't help Is there something specific that i should do or have you cut out the remaining part of the site for construction?
Anyways, the splash page looks amazing but as Will said, it may not be needed. If you're brother is not much into internet marketing, traffic ,etc.. and just wants the site for personal purposes and for friends and family and does not plan to monetize from the site, i'd say keep the splash page.
Since i couldn't get ahead from the first page, i just checked the code and found a typo in your Meta Description tag.

Resolved questions
Is it true that....
Once, I've heard someone saying that there are some countries (I'm not going to say which ones for a matter of respect I guess) where if you are a foreigner and speak just English to try to communicate, they make themselves as they didn't understand you even if they did understand what you're saying, and they just say that it is a way to make you speak their language as you are in their country not in an English-speaking country..could that be possible?? I mean..if you are a foreigner and just go to those countries for tourism and only speak English..how could a person be able to understand you and not answer/help you??
I hope that's a lie 'cause I'd be afraid to go to those countries though..

I haven't heard about it. If you mean it's Russia, so I've never met a person who would do that, because everybody who can speak English are eager to practice when they have a chance to talk to a native speaker. But there are some people who have difficulties in understanding English, and the situation is quite stressful - it's not a usual thing to be caught on the street and answer a question in a foreign language just so easily. So maybe they really don't understand it, that would be true.
I heard, in several former soviet countries people don't like tourists who speak Russian.
I believe it is untrue. I have never been to any such country. I suggest that you do more research on this subject.

Figure 6.
HSP70 mRNA expression during normoxic and hypoxic aestivation. mRNA levels were evaluated in whole brain of FW (white1), 6dAE (black2), 6mAE (vertical striped3), 6dMUD (diagonal striped4) and 6mMUD (grey5) animals by qPCR. (a) The results are expressed as a proportion of the highest value after normalization with respect to β-actin levels and represent the means ± s.e.m. of three independent biological replicates. HSP70 in situ hybridization pattern was handled in the different brain nuclei of diencephalic (b) and extradiencephalic (c) areas of all aestivating conditions (expressed as % of FW). Statistical analysis: ANOVA followed by Student's t test for qPCR data and by Newman Keul's test for in situ hybridization (ap < 0.05, bp < 0.01, cp < 0.001). For abbreviations check list.

Glenn and all.
I get what you are sayin Glenn. One of the biggest frustrations has been for the past 3 years - the opportunity cost. And now, finally when they actually announce that the company is for sale, the thing is stuck, valued at 1.07! Meanwhile, the rest of the sector ploughs ahead and we're missing the boat on those opportunities.
Right now the market is valuing the company at 1.07 per share. That's what we are worth.
And what's taking so frickin long? 2 months since the announcement of the "valuation process".
And I agree Glenn - the company has been really bad at keeping us informed with news over the years. C'mon - let's get on with this. Time to let us move on and put this albatross out of its misery.

The compressor is normaly under the hood.
Try using a higher amp fuse.[/Quote: b615cb37c2]
It takes a 30amp fuse and any higher amp is too big in size. Could it need resetting or something
