gives me deja vu. it's almost identical to one of the grand lecture halls they held an orientation session in during my study abroad at the university of sydney. lovely
Reminds me of university...
Good looking..
very nice
I came across this piece a while ago, but I must say that first of all, I like the title. I definitely love the curviness of everything. I love the simplicity of the colors you have the reds, greys, blacks, and whites. I love how there's plenty of red in the picture but it's not overpowering. When I look at this picture I think of the old saying, "The lights are on but nobody's home." This is a really great picture.
I love the title and the comment.
Great shot!

I go there often during my breaks to listen to the orchestra practice or take photos. That day I did both
great colors, light, and concept
That looks so cool! And the title rocks
Heh, nice idea, well done. Great use of the natural composition; looks a little uneven, though, like the camera wasn't on a level plane. From the looks of it, you didn't or couldn't use a tripod--would have helped, or maybe just free-rotating it a bit in P-shop. Still, great shot.
I just can't understand people that run away right after the movie finished (if it was good).
I need to let it sink in.
Good shot. Inspires me*g*

Does dA like dicebags? by rockeymonWatch
©2014-2016 rockeymon
I recently started actually putting work towards my interest in leather working. As my first project I worked on making a basic dicebag. In the end I liked the turn out and started making more of them and selling them to some local places
Well soon I remembered that I could also sell on Etsy, and so I started, sadly it's slow starting out so I haven't been able to make any sales on there yet. So if you are interested in leather dicebags I'd love you if you'd consider checking mine out at :
I currently only have two types, a smaller one (the one flattened on the left) and a medium sized one (the one flattened on the right). I hope to soon start selling more leather items, one of which being the next item I'm looking at being leather collars. So if you would please help support me in my pursuit

Expert's review
by Ana Gracia, Appszoom
In this game, Ripples, your aim is to explode as many bubbles as possible in every level.
For playing, you just need to tap your finger on the screen to make a bubble grow and explode afterwards. All the bubbles that the first bubble touches will also grow and explode, creating a chain of explosions. You'll have to explode the minimum of balls set on the top right corner in order to pass the level. If you don't success, you can retry it until you complete it.
This fun game has a lot of variations but it still is entertaining and addictive. It's also kind of relaxing, as there's no time limit and the music goes pretty well with it. However, there are only a few levels and it's not hard to finish the game. Besides there's no score, which would make it a bit more challenging.
MTM HZSTUDIO is the creator of Ripples, an addictive and relaxing game for all ages. If the application had more levels and was a bit more challenging it could become an excellent game. In the meantime, it's still fun to play.

He's never started an NFL game, and yet Brady Quinn already has cashed in on big endorsement deals with Subway, Hummer, and…what's the name of that special energy drink of his? Discharge?
Of course, when those deals were done last spring, everyone thought it was only a matter of time before Quinn became an everyday starter for whatever horrible team decided to pick him up. But now Derek Anderson, who led the Browns to a 10-6 record last fall, has resigned with the team, inking a three-year deal that would make him the clear-cut starter heading into training camp for the 2008 season. Clear-cut, as YAHOO! SPORTS reports, to everyone except Quinn.
"'My whole goal is preparing myself and getting ready to try to take over the starting job and lead this team…'
Quinn understands the situation and even applauded Anderson's signing, but doesn't plan on carrying a clipboard again. His mind-set is 'just competing and try to take this team to the playoffs, something we weren't able to do last year.'"
So is Quinn really delusional? Does he not recognize Anderson's contributions to the club that got them mere tiebreakers away from the Browns' first playoff berth since 2002? That's doubtful.
Quinn stands to lose potential endorsement income if he can't project himself as at least having a chance to get on the field. And operating under the presumption that benchwarmers don't exactly embody the glamorous pitchmen to whom firms are eager to throw their money, one could see that Quinn's status as a product pusher is in serious jeopardy.
Interestingly enough, the biggest product that Brady Quinn will be pushing to consumers this summer is…Brady Quinn. The irony is so delicious, I wish I could put it on a sandwich.

This section details the data used in our analysis and our analytic approach. We start by describing how we selected federal district court opinions addressing challenges to expert evidence and how we extracted the salient information from them. We then provide an overview of the opinions in our sample and conclude by describing the methods used to analyze them.
We drew our sample of opinions from Westlaw's database of federal district court opinions. Figure 3.1 puts the Westlaw database into a broad perspective. Excluding prisoners' petitions, social security cases, and cases in which the federal government is attempting to recover debts,1 roughly 160,000 civil cases are filed in federal court each year. The proportion of cases that involve expert evidence is unknown, as is the proportion of expert evidence that is challenged. Roughly 150 opinions addressing challenges to expert evidence in civil cases appear in Westlaw's database of federal district court opinions each year.
Westlaw provides a readily accessible source of district court opinions that can be searched in electronic form, but its limitations should be understood. First, Westlaw contains only written opinions, as opposed to oral rulings on challenges to expert evidence from the beach. The proportion of opinions on challenges to expert evidence that are written versus oral is unknown. It seems likely, however, that exclusion of expert evidence is more likely to lead to an appealable issue and that judges thus may issue written opinions more frequently when they exclude challenged evidence than when they admit it The frequency with which evidence is excluded will likely be higher in the Westlaw database than for all opinions. This is not a problem for our analysis as long as there is no systematic change over time in the relative propensities of judges to issue written opinions when evidence is excluded versus when it is admitted. We return to this issue in Subsection 4.1.
Second, some written district court opinions are not reported to Westlaw. While Westlaw contains all officially published opinions (such as those appearing in the Federal Supplement) and a substantial number of "unreported" opinions submitted by judges, an unknown number of written opinions never appear in Westlaw. The proportion of opinions reported versus unreported____________________

Discipline is an album by the band King Crimson, released in 1981. This album was King Crimson's first album following a seven-year hiatus. Only founder Robert Fripp and later addition Bill Bruford remained from previous incarnations. The rest of the band was Adrian Belew and Tony Levin. The album resulted in a more updated 1980s new wave proto-techno sound mixed with the previous dark and heavy sounds of the 1970s.

The transition that Callaway began with his gubernatorial bid continued under Sonny Perdue, who in 2002 became the first Republican governor of Georgia since 1872. Perdue, originally a Democrat, had switched to the Republican Party in 1998.
Callaway's legacy extends beyond Georgian politics and into its soil. He oversaw the care and feeding of Callaway Gardens, a 6,500-acre resort complex located nearly two hours south of Atlanta and founded by his parents.
For the last several years, my family has traveled to the gardens on Mothers' Day weekend with my mother for picnicking and play.
Callaway Gardens holds a special place in my own family's history, too. When she was in high school, my mother would drive her siblings there during the summers. When I was growing up, our family would often travel to the gardens to meet my cousins from Columbus. The summer before my senior year in high school, I lived in Pine Mountain, the neighboring town and worked at the gardens' ice cream shop.
With its beach, golf course, vegetable garden, trails and butterfly house, Callaway Gardens provides city dwellers with a respite from the frantic pace of life.
I recall running into Callaway numerous times during the decades I have attended Republican Party functions. As a girl surrounded by adults, I had no trouble picking him out of the crowd: his tall, military bearing, serious expression and bushy eyebrows set him apart.
Bo Callaway was a treasure to his family, his state and his country. He served his country well, and his legacy, both in politics and in helping transform the red clay of South Georgia's Callaway Gardens into rich, black earth, will live for generations.

Tornadoes can occur anywhere and at any time during the year. In an average year, 800 tornadoes are reported throughout the nation. The most violent tornadoes may have wind speeds of 250 mph or more, and may last for more than an hour. Sometimes multiple tornadoes may occur at the same time. Tornadoes can appear rapidly, so it is important to be familiar with the signs in order to stay prepared.
Early warnings about a likely tornado can help save lives. Weather radar systems are used to detect air movement which could indicate that a tornado may be likely to form. Environmental clues may also suggest that a tornado is forming. Here are some signs to look for:

Rick Perry drew direct fire from a potential rival Friday night when GOP presidential contender Rick Santorum attacked the Texas governor's recent comments about how far states can go in setting policies on gay marriage and abortion.Full Story
Gov. Rick Perry, who has at least one eye on the White House, is already beating potential rival Rick Santorum in this quite unofficial contest: book sales at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver. The two were expected to sign books, in the same room, Friday afternoon.
Full Story
Texas may have two well-known Republican candidates running for president, and some say Gov. Rick Perry and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul are "diametrically opposed" to one another. The real battle between them isn't over money. It's over ideas.Full Story
As in his political career, Gov. Rick Perry in the real estate market appears to have benefited from good timing. Although he wasn't born into wealth and has drawn relatively modest pay as an elected official since 1985, he has made a small fortune on land transactions — some with the help of rich and politically connected friends.Full Story
It's not exactly a Left Behind story, but there were a fair number of conservative policy wonks and political operators in Texas who didn't catch the train to Washington in 2000. Now, as Gov. Rick Perry dances closer and closer to the presidential flame, those Texas Republicans might get another chance.Full Story
Gov. Rick Perry, taking flak from social conservatives, took a step back from his laissez-faire approach to New York's gay marriage law on Thursday. Instead of being "fine" with other states doing it, he says those moves threaten the definition of marriage everywhere, including Texas.Full Story

Gov. Rick Perry said Wednesday he isn't worried that a failure to increase the nation's borrowing authority would trigger an economic catastrophe. He also waded again into the contentious debate over states' rights and hot-button social issues, saying he would support allowing states to determine whether abortion is illegal — or legal.Full Story

Gov. Rick Perry, as the leader of the state Republican Party, has maneuvered through a conflict between GOP factions with mixed results. Whatever his place in the party and his political future, the problem is built into the coalition of interests in the Texas GOP.Full Story
The Texas Department of Public Safety said Monday it had preserved certain travel records associated with the cost of providing security to Gov. Rick Perry before 2008, contrary to information it provided on Friday when it said that information had been "purged."Full Story
How conservative was Democratic Rick Perry? To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the analysis suggests Perry did not leave the Democratic Party so much as it left him, although compared to Reagan, Perry was (ideologically) much less of a Democrat to begin with.Full Story
The presidential election primary season is seven months away and Texans are already opening their pocketbooks to show support for their favorite candidates. The Trib's visualizations of data from federal campaign finance reports reveal who has collected and spent the most in Texas.Full Story
State officials said Friday they can't reveal how much money taxpayers are spending to protect Gov. Rick Perry, including when he's outside the state hunting for votes or money in a possible presidential race. The Department of Public Safety also disclosed that financial records of security costs compiled before 2008 have been "purged."Full Story
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Surfside, is the only Texan currently in the race for the Republican nomination for president of the United States, and he recently announced that he would not seek another term in Congress. Why? He wants to concentrate on the presidential contest instead of running for both at the same time as he did in 2008. The congressman, a nationally recognized political figure — he was the Libertarian Party nominee for president in 1988 — talked with the Tribune about the contest, about the other candidates grabbing some of his ideas, and about a potential candidate he's never met.Full Story

Lightning Strike Above the Village by FlorentCourtyWatch

Triple lightning strike on a village near home during a squall line storm in early august. The image is a quite huge crop from a 40mm shot, but the quality is still decent enough to share this on the internet, as this shot is truly more interesting this way.

14:00 is check-in time. When I arrived at this time, I was told there would be a 15 minute delay. After 45 minutes, I was still unable to get a key for my room, so I left. The bed was fine, but this minor inconvenience is a bad first impression of the hostel.Read More

Newspaper article The Christian Science Monitor
A Journalist-Cum-Novelist on a Trip through the Past
Article excerpt
Tarun Tejpal's debut novel, The Alchemy of Desire, begins and ends with the same words - but with a completely different meaning by book's end. Over the course of 518 pages, an unnamed writer takes a roundabout journey that leaves him, on the final page (fittingly, on the last day of the millennium), a changed being.
Divided into five "books" - each named to reflect important concepts in Hinduism - "The Alchemy of Desire" straddles two centuries, three continents, multiple generations, and whole histories that include the personal, philosophical, and political. The underlying story is of a young Indian couple madly in love: the nameless writer/narrator and his vibrant young wife, aptly named Fizz. What they lack in finances, they make up for in an endless devotion, even obsession, with each another.
A journalist by trade, now rather disillusioned, the narrator sets out to write a novel, minutely planning the endeavor in step- by-step increments. Sadly, the result - called "The Inheritors" - finds its end at the bottom of a lake.
An unexpected journey
Ironically, a literal inheritance - surprisingly, from the narrator's acerbic grandmother who disapproved of the couple's Hindu/ Muslim marriage - allows the lovers to buy a crumbling estate high in the Himalayas which they begin to restore.
During the renovation, a mysterious chest filled with almost illegible notebooks is discovered. In spite of warnings from the local villagers that the past should stay locked away, the narrator abandons his own world - not only his own writing, but even his beloved Fizz. He chases the ghostly past in the notebooks, written by Catherine, the estate's original owner, an enigmatic American explorer who travels from Chicago to Paris to end up in the Himalayas married to an exiled homosexual Indian prince. …

King Records, located in Evanston, put Cincinnati on the American music map in the 1960s, launching the careers of such greats as James Brown.
CINCINNATI - Cincinnati's King Records, located in Evanston, gave America the 1960s hit "The Twist" and launched the career of James Brown.
Syd Nathan opened his company targeting the "hillbilly market." However, King Records was known for providing all services needed for recording and that brought in both country and R&B artists.
Become a WCPO Insider to learn more about Nathan, his King Records and the Cincinnati sound that's part of rock 'n' roll history.
There's more to the story when you become an Insider. WCPO Insider's membership is an additional benefit on top of everything you can get for free on WCPO.com. We created an entire digital organization dedicated to bringing you exclusive access to in-depth stories that you can't get anywhere else, handpicked events, and incredible savings on things you love to do. To find out more click here.
CINCINNATI - The Tri-State is home to many fascinating facts, offbeat oddities, and "I did not know that," moments. With that in mind, WCPO asks "Who Knew?"
Before Nashville, before Detroit, there was Cincinnati and the Cincinnati sound. Many famous performers had their start here, and even some of the most popular songs, like 1960s hit "The Twist," were created right here in Evanston at neighborhood recording studio, King Records.
How did King Records begin?
Syd Nathan, who was a businessman, tried his hand at a few professions including a wholesale radio shop and photofinishing business. After these ventures didn't work out, he returned to Cincinnati and opened a record company. Though his company targeted the "hillbilly market," King Records was known for providing all services needed for recording. Producing, engineering, mastering, processing the album cover, pressing the record and distributing the new sound could all be done under the King label.
What inspired "The Twist?"
Hank Ballard & The Midnighters recorded the first version in 1959 on King Records. The "Twist" was first listed as the B-side of the 45 rpm record. A year later Chubby Checker recorded a version of it which sounds almost the same. That record shot to the No. 1 spot on all the carts.
What other popular artists / songs were recorded in Cincinnati?
The song "Fever," known as a hit by Peggy Lee, was originally recorded in Cincinnati by Little Willie John. The hit "Sixteen Tons" was recorded by Merle Travis and topped the charts with a later version by Tennessee Ernie Ford. And of course, there was James Brown whose career was launched under a Syd Nathan label.
King Records stopped producing records a long time ago. What is the current state of this landmark?
The original recording studio located at 1540 Brewster Ave. It's noted with historical maker. Its contents have been gutted and it has been used as a warehouse. The building is at risk of being lost. Xavier University envisions creating a museum for King Recording Studio in the Evanston neighborhood.

Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention census data correctional facilities drug law offenses group homes juvenile detention juvenile offenders juveniles property crimes status offenses The Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP) was administered for the first time in 1997 by the United States Bureau of the Census, for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). CJRP replaced the Census of Public and Private Juvenile Detention, Correctional, and Shelter Facilities, also known as the Children in Custody (CIC) census, which had been conducted since the early 1970s. The CJRP differs fundamentally from CIC in that the CIC collected aggregate data on juveniles held in each facility (e.g., number of juveniles in the facility) and the CJRP, which is conducted biennially, collects an individual record on each juvenile held in the residential facility to provide a detailed picture of juveniles in custody. The CJRP asked juvenile residential custody facilities in the United States to describe each youth assigned a bed in the facility on a specified reference date. In 2010, the reference date was the fourth Wednesday in February. Characteristics of the facility, treatment services, and facility population were also collected. Each record in the data that provides information about a juvenile also includes the characteristics of the facility in which the juvenile was held. Therefore, the CJRP data can be analyzed at the juvenile or facility level. Some state and regional agencies provide CJRP data for more than one facility under their jurisdiction. The census was not sent to adult facilities or to facilities exclusively for drug or mental health treatment or for abused or neglected children. 34448 http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR34448.v1 01-09-2014 census/enumeration data United States Bureau of the Census questionnaires Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York (state) North Carolina North Dakota Northern Mariana Islands Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Puerto Rico Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas United States Utah Vermont Virgin Islands of the United States Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming 2010

I applaud the OP's enthusiasm and effort but NOT his critical thinking using facts and logic for his presentation. Only fools will believe a low tech ancient military force such as NK is will win in this current modern age of conventional warfare, when even hi-tech nations are very very cautious to even think of using one.
But then, some are fearful and let their fears get the worse of them, clouding their judgement, or stupidities clouding theirs such as the senile old military farts whom are in power , still trapped in the 50s tech era, and advising young fatboy kim to think he can fool others. He may be able to fool OP, but not many others well informed.
To all those posters who say "Just go in and wipe them all out" I would reply, "Yea mate, you lead the charge."

May 17, 2013, Shenzhen, China---- Why Tibetan antelope can live at elevations of 4,000-5,000m on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau? In a collaborative research published in Nature Communications, investigators from Qinghai University, BGI, and other institutes provide evidence that some genetic factors may be associated with the species' adaption to harsh highland environments. The data in this work will also provide implications for studying specific genetic mechanisms and the biology of other ruminant species.
The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) is a native of the high mountain steppes and semi-desert areas of the Tibetan plateau. Interestingly, it is the only member of the genus Pantholops. Tibetan antelope is a medium sized antelope with the unique adaptations to against the harsh high-altitude climate. For non-native mammals such as humans, they may experience life-threatening acute mountain sickness when visiting high-altitude regions.
In this study, researchers suggest that Tibetan antelopes must have evolved exceptional mechanisms to adapt to this extremely inhospitable habitat. Using next-gen sequencing technology, they have decoded the genome of Tibetan antelope and studied the underlying genetic mechanism of high-altitude adaptations.
Through the comparison between Tibetan antelope and other plain-dwelling mammals, researchers found the Tibetan antelope had the signals of adaptive evolution and gene-family expansion in genes associated with energy metabolism and oxygen transmission, indicating that gene categories involved in energy metabolism appear to have an important role for Tibetan antelope via efficiently providing energy in conditions of low partial pressure of oxygen (PO2).
Further research revealed that both the Tibetan antelope and the highland American pika have signals of positive selection for genes involved in DNA repair and the production of ATPase. Considering the exposure to high levels of ultraviolet radiation, positive selective genes related to DNA repair may be vital to protect the Tibetan antelope from it.
Qingle Cai, Project manager from BGI, said, "The completed genome sequence of the Tibetan antelope provides a more complete blueprint for researchers to study the genetic mechanisms of highland adaptation. This work may also open a new way to understand the adaptation of the low partial pressure of oxygen in human activities."

I used to have the best time with Grandma. She'd go out on our porch and would throw the ball for me. Those days are over. Mom didn't realize that Grandma was smoking out there when she was playing with me and how close I was getting to Grandma's cigarette and the smoke. This weekend Grandma tried to blame little innocent me for burning a hole in her pants. Come on Grandma not nice. I saw you from the other side of the yard jump up when the ash hit your pants.

Mom thinks it's funny for just a few minutes but I become obsessed and I attack nonstop. Then Mom loses her sense of humor and banishes me to the house so she can get the shoveling done.

I don't know how the heck it happened but when Grandma went upstairs last night I tagged along with her to go up the stairs. Something I've never done before. But I knew there was an adventure up there just waiting to happen. So I bounded up the stairs and Grandma didn't even see me. I know Mom didn't see me either or she would have grabbed me. There is a very interesting area up there that I've been wanting to explore and I saw my chance. All of a sudden I heard a door shut, then the light went out and I heard another door shut. Uh oh. I knew I was in big trouble then. I had been so sneaky that no one knew I was there. It was really dark. I thought for sure Mom would miss cute little me and come to my rescue and I waited and waited and waited. Soon the shadows got really big and I was so scared I couldn't even bark. I found a corner to hide in away from the shadows and hunkered down. About 30 minutes later the door opened downstairs and Mom was there. I was so happy to see her. She looked very relieved to see me too. We both were a little shook up and I promised Mom I wouldn't sneak away again. My feelings were a little hurt that it took Mom 30 minutes to miss me. But she said I was sleeping in my bed when she took Grandma upstairs and never thought that I had followed her. When she took a break from her project she came in to snuggle with me and couldn't find me. She knew I was in the house somewhere but got nervous when I didn'tcome when she shook the treat bag. Mom is so brilliant and she finally figured out where I could be.

BGSU Firelands expanded summer course offerings a big success
Student enrollment swelled to record levels at BGSU Firelands this summer, affirming the college's decision to offer more course sections in response to interest by students to continue their education during the "third semester."
The college saw a 28 percent increase in the number of undergraduate students, with headcount up from 689 in summer 2009 to 884 this summer. The total number of credit hours taken by students increased by over 72 percent, going from 3,000 last summer to over 5,000 this summer. And the number of new and transfer students coming to BGSU Firelands rose almost 13 percent, from 71 students last summer to 80 this summer.
While the 884 students shared a common interest in taking summer classes, their college goals were diverse. Among summer students, some are pursuing two- or four-year degrees at BGSU Firelands. Others are completing general education requirements and plan to transfer to the BGSU main campus or another institution. Still others are attending BGSU Firelands classes as guest students while on summer break from another college or university.
BGSU Firelands Dean Bill Balzer said the increased enrollment represents a greater impact than on numbers alone. "Given the steadily increasing enrollments during the fall and spring semesters, we sensed a growing interest from a growing number of students in our community to continue their education during the summer semester. That is, summer could serve as a third semester to help students reach their higher education goals in a more timely fashion.
"Thanks to the faculty's interest in helping their students, we expanded the number of course sections and did some minimal summer promotion, and the numbers tell the rest. Overall, the campus was a vibrant place to study this summer and provided expanded opportunities for students to make progress on their higher education goals."

President's Leadership Academy lends a hand to Lake High School
Singing and words of encouragement rang through the air as an assembly line of desks flowed through the dimly lit hallway of Lake Township High School. Members of the Sidney A. Ribeau President's Leadership Academy (PLA) carried the desks to storage units outside the construction area. The high school, which suffered extensive tornado damage earlier this summer, benefitted from their eager helping hands last Friday (July 23).
The PLA is a unique four-year program that allows students who are serious about developing their leadership skills to follow a curriculum that engages them in classes, workshops, experiential learning and community service activities. Founded in 1997 by former BGSU President Sidney Ribeau, students follow the premise that you must be a servant first, and leadership will result from extending service to others.
Even though all PLA members have a passion for service, the Lake High School project was especially significant for many of them. "We can relate because we just graduated," said broadcast journalism major Rianna Delgodo, an incoming freshman from Southfield, Mich.
"The experience has been moving because two months ago they were seniors and they are here to recognize that it could've happened to them," said Dr. Julie Snyder, PLA interim director. "They may never know a student who walked these halls but that doesn't matter."
Incoming freshman David Walters, a music education major from Dexter, Mich., stressed the importance of community outreach. "It is really important for the campus because it is a way for people to see how Bowling Green makes a big difference in the community."

Senate Schumerization
How to reward Chuck for a job well done -- and to give him a leg up over Hillary? Plus: Republicans off the Dole. Lott in line.
Sen. Chuck Schumer thinks he deserves something for the work he did as chairman of the Democrat Senate campaign committee. Under his leadership, the committee broke fundraising records, recruited well, and helped shape what appears to be a Democrat majority in the Senate for the 110th Congress.
Sen. Harry Reid intends to take the podium as Senate Majority Leader, and his partner in crime, Sen. Dick Durbin, intends to remain as whip. Rumors within the Democrat caucus have Reid looking for something for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to do. "But Reid's heart isn't in it," says a leadership aide. "He knows he's going to be in her shadow like everyone else for the time being, at least until she makes her announcement about running for higher office."
So where can Schumer go? Most of the committee chairmanships are spoken for, and the only one in question would be Homeland Security, where Sen. Joe Lieberman was ranking member.
"I don't see how Lieberman isn't given that chairmanship, particularly given the lack of an overwhelming majority," says the leadership aide. "Senator Lieberman is coming into this Congress from a real position of strength. If I'm Harry Reid, I'm giving him everything he wants."
According to Senate sources, Reid is mulling surrendering his post as head of the Democrat Conference, long a position held by the Democrat leader. Given the political nature of the job, it's something Democrats believe Schumer would want to undertake, and it would allow him to bigfoot his junior Senator from New York as the voice of policy for the party after Reid and Durbin.
EVERYONE AGREES THAT, unlike Senator Schumer, Republican National Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Elizabeth Dole was a disaster. "A week before the election she was toast," says a Republican National Committee staffer. "They were already looking for new blood before the votes were tallied."
An initial offer for the post went to Sen. John Thune, but he declined the offer.
This weekend, at the Republican Senate retreat, we're hearing that Sen. John Ensign of Nevada has agreed to accept the position, and will be bringing much his senior staff with experience in campaigns with him.
Ensign is a strong pick, with good ties for fundraising and a good conservative background.
IN OTHER SENATE ELECTION news, Sen. Trent Lott is still struggling with whether to pursue the Senate Whip position over Sen. Lamar Alexander.
Alexander is said to have many of the votes in place, but there is no question that Lott would be a superior vote counter and floor strategist.
One knock against Alexander: his willingness to walk away from core conservative ideals, such as not raising taxes. Alexander has been one of the most vocal advocates for an Internet sales tax.
Lott, on the other hand, has led on keeping that tax moratorium in place.
Elections for the posts may come as early as this week.

Little Ollie Petherick, who was born with a rare chromosome defect, may never learn to walk or talk but his beaming smile is enough to melt anyone's heart.
Ollie, two, of Cromwell Road, Devizes, suffers from Angelman syndrome. He made a dramatic appearance into the world when he was born at home just as paramedics arrived.
But his parents Iain Petherick and Annie Campbell did not know there was anything wrong with their younger son until he was about six months old and he was diagnosed with the rare condition, which has the side effect of making sufferers smile and laugh a lot.
As the family were trying to come to terms with the devastating diagnosis they were put in touch with Devizes Opportunity Centre and it has helped transform all of their lives.
Mr Petherick, a wine manager at Morrisons in Devizes, said: "I really don't know what we would have done without the opportunity centre. They are absolutely fantastic for us and for Ollie.
"Everyone there really cares and is very knowledgeable.
"But they are facing funding cuts and it is vital that people realise the work that goes on and helps with fundraising if at all possible.
"You can be sure that every penny raised will go to the work of the centre."

Ollie's mum said she did not start to worry about her son until he was six months old.
She said: "When he was born he didn't feed very well and he had jaundice but I didn't really think there was anything seriously wrong until a friend suggested he might be blind.
"He was tested and it turned out that it was a neurological problem that was stopping him from following anything with his eyes."
Ollie then went through a number of different tests and was finally diagnosed with Angleman syndrome which is a rate genetic condition only affecting about 1,000 people in the UK.
One of the telltale signs of the syndrome is that sufferers have a happy demeanour and so are usually smiling or laughing.
As soon as he was diagnosed, Ollie's parents were put in touch with Devizes Opportunity Centre and it has helped both them and Ollie to cope.
The family, who also have an elder son Freddie, three, have to cope with Ollie sleeping very little and having to be watched all the time. He also suffers from epilepsy.
Ms Campbell, who used to work at the petrol station in London Road, Devizes, said: "When you go to the opportunity centre you don't even have to say you are having a bad day, they just know straightaway and there is always someone to talk to who understands.
"It is also great that all the experts to do with physiotherapy, speech and development are under one roof and know all of the background so you don't have to keep explaining to lots of different people.
"We don't know if Ollie will ever walk or talk but he is a beautiful little boy and the opportunity centre is making sure he reaches his full potential at this vital early stage in his life."
She is doing her bit to raise funds by holding a Facebook auction and Mr Petherick is on the centre's committee.

This short article will focus on the main three: money, time, and effort.
Basically these are the savings. I'll cover them all, briefly. You will have to supply your own reasons but I'll tell you what I know!
Electronic instruments are cheap. The one thing that some folks ask is this - is 61 keys (the size of most smaller portable keyboards) enough? Yes, it is. If it wasn't, would they even manufacture these things? I, as an instructor, let students know that most music is made within those limits. You don't need 76 or 88 keys. Few pros even use the upper and lower ends, and you ain't a pro, are you? Also, they NEVER need tuning and contain a built-in metronome so you don't need to buy something which easily gets lost.
There is a savings in time. Electronic instruments have many additional and new learning tools. This means less time spent in taking lessons, etc. Also, if you want to learn to play the following: Sax, Clarinet, flute, organ, violin, trumpet, trombone, etc. all you have to do is learn some basics about how those instruments work and the super realistic sounds of an electronic instrument (which you already know how to play!) can make them for you. You don't have to spend the time learning all those instruments.
Finally, keyboards can require less effort. I recall very well my first encounter with the piano. I had already become a professional level organist. Unfortunately, that kind of "always on at full volume" sound doesn't work on the piano, whose single sound dies away once you make it. Doesn't matter what you do - you gotta produce more notes all the time. I did learn to do this but it wasn't easy. It took quite some time and even now I know that my hands have to keep hitting keys - if I want to continue to hear music, that is! Thus, any electronic instrument which can make other sounds can less work.
Now I know that sales people have sold everyone on "gotta have weighted keys and gotta have 88 of them." I'm here to say that this is simply false data. Who am I to make this claim? I'm Dan Starr and I've been playing all sorts of keyboarded instruments for 40+ years professionally and instructing the same for 25+ years, longer than most clerks have even been alive. I think I know.
