Skip to comments.Lindsey Grahams support from South Carolina Republicans is eroding (FINALLY)
Posted on 09/07/2013 4:47:32 AM PDT by C. Edmund Wright
Once thought to be a sure bet for re-election, a new poll shows that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has seen his support fall among South Carolina Republicans, as his three primary challengers begin their campaigns against him.
The poll, conducted by Landmark Communications and Rosetta Stone Communications, shows Graham at 42%, Lee Bright with 13%, Nancy Mace taking 10%, and Richard Cash at 7%. And though he fares better in head-to-head matchups against his primary challengers, Graham is still under 50%.
These numbers should be of concern to the Graham campaign. The senator fails to reach 50% of the vote against any of his opponents, said John Garst, president of Rosetta Stone Communications, in a release. Graham does not break 40% among voters who think of themselves as evangelistic conservatives, and that group makes up 58% of the primary electorate.
(Excerpt) Read more at unitedliberty.org ...
The unofficial "beat Linda Graham" ping.....Go Lee Bright!
Great news!
Indeed - and I would say that Graham is perhaps the worst of the worst, becuase he's from SC and states like SC need to give us Jim DeMint's and Tim Scotts....not Grahams.
My theory is that folks like Graham, Chambliss from Georgia, Cornyn and KBH from Texas (thank God Cruz has her seat now) and Alexander and Corker from TN really damage us more than the Scott Browns of the world.....after all, states are different. We NEED Graham to be retired from SC. I think it will happen.
Ahh....Linda...you COULD have been great. Bye Bye.
Throw the bum out!
Wait until the attack ads start against his opponent. The RNC will send big $$$, sacrificing other candidates, to save this RINO.
Lindsey Graham is a strong liberal supporter of Barack Obama on issue after issue. He can't avoid his record.
Lamar Alexander's support from Tennessee Republicans is eroding (FINALLY)
Bob Corker's support from Tennessee Republicans is eroding (FINALLY) would be nice too...
Until the election.
His strategy to win is going to either be to push far right for a a year to pretend he's a conservative, or once he gets beat in the primary to go full bore Arlen Specter, or even try to be a Joe Lieberman independent.
This is one guy who's going to have a hard time winning with either method. It will be a good thing to be rid of him (and some others).
Lib S.C. college professor told me this week (over breakfast) that the push is already underway for Dems to vote for Graham stronger than ever in the Republican primary. He said that Graham is loved as much as Gowdy is hated. FWIW
That should be JOB-1 for Republican activists at all levels:
Getting rid of open primaries.
RINOS are killing us.
I don't think that will happen......and if it does, I think it will backfire.
I think that would be his least likely path to win again. It's going to be fun (sort of) watching him pretend to be a conservative for the net year.
spiel cheque is my fiend.
"Wait until the attack ads start against his opponent. The RNC will send big $$$, sacrificing other candidates, to save this RINO."
...and that's why I quit donating to the GOP a long time ago.
"RINOS are killing us."
Pretty sure it's Republicans that are killing us. Remember...the majority of the GOP House voted for Boner again. The GOP and its leadership stands for amnesty, funding Obamacare, and kicking off WW3. The leadership wouldn't be in power a day longer if the majority of the party wasn't ok with it. Guys like Cruz are the exception.
Some of the rules/guidelines as published on 'The Greenpapers'.
If no candidate receives at least 50% of the vote in the primary, a runoff will be held between
the top two vote-getters.
Voters who voted in a party's primary, can vote only in the runoff of the same party. Voters
who did not vote in the primary, may vote in either party's runoff.
The primary is for Democratic and Republican candidates only. Candidates running
unopposed for their Party's nomination will not appear on primary ballots.
Voters may not vote in a political partys runoff if they voted in another political partys
primary. However, voters who did not vote in either politicial partys primary may vote in
either politicial partys runoff.
A defeated primary candidate may not actively offer or campaign as a write-in candidate for
the ensuing election. The use of posters or stickers on the ballot is not permitted. The voting
machine provides for a voter to write-in a candidate. Write-in votes are not allowed in primary
elections or the election of President or Vice-president.
While the state permits fusion (a candidate may be nominated by multiple parties), if
a candidate runs for and looses a primary (of any party), the candidate cannot appear on the
November ballot.
That's a two way street
His run off opponent can get great publicity for free by pointing out the outrageous record of the unmarried childless Graham, and attacking the RNC in the press
Are the Dem primaries open too? Why can't we get people to do the same thing to them?
Pack the field with candidates having strong, narrow appeal to specific Republican voting blocs and conserve resources via grassroots campaigning and micromarketing. Among these would also be a challenger or challengers with a broader appeal. Objective would be to peel off single-issue voters in order to deny a plurality. Prior to runoff election, by design, have these single-issue ringers pledge strong support to the leading challenger, then mobilize via established grassroots and micromarketing efforts to motivate their voters. Resources conserved then can be used to undermine and attack the incumbent relentlessly, on his record. That red-faced spittlefest of a few years back, calling opponents of amnesty "bigots" would be pure poison in SC. There are other examples with potential as well. McCain's 2000 insult of the state is well-recalled, so that taint via association would be useful.
From a site that I suspect is a Russian FSB disinformation site, but they're reported stuff that the British press has reported as accurate a day later.
Great news. If Linda is only at 42%, and this is the highest he'll ever be. He's afraid to meet with the voters in person.
The future is Bright(!) with Lee.
I am on Team Mace, but I will support any of the candidates in a runoff against Graham.
Ab. So. Lutely.
Thanks for the ping!
Woohoo! Sure would be nice if one of the Bobsy twins is defeated.
I can't get it in my head how Graham's $6 million-plus war chest can buy back the truth, of his career of undermining every significant opportunity where a conservative view could be advanced. What's he going to say with that 6 mil? Whose vote can he buy?
Once in awhile he pops up and throws a conveniently timed bone to prop up his reelection, then burrows back under a rock with McCain and Ayotte to plot strategy that keeps some liberal hack, or the president's agenda, or his Marxist nominees afloat.
Lindsay has gotten ahead of himself and become way, way too obvious with his disdain for conservatives and is actively trying to turn South Carolina blue, legislatively, apparently.
His votes are going to come from liberal Democrats, assuredly.
Also, if Lindsay Light Loafers fails to get 50% in the primary, there would be a runoff in which he would likely lose no matter who survives to run against him in the runoff. The winner would move the seat sharply to the right where it belongs. ALL of Lindsay's primary opponents should be forced by conservatives and libertarians to agree to support Lindsay's runoff opponent.
The only thing he can do with 6 mill is slam opponents...and I agree - it's not like he can reinvent his last 10 years or so with that money.

I saw this on you tube and wanted one, but found that the price was too steep for me. So I made one instead.
This is a adjustable width PCB Holder with component holder so that you can flip it and solder.
Can adjust the PCB to any 12 orientation on one axes and thus work easily on it. Very handy.
This project is using the Library from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6021
Print all the parts. You will need a few copies of each part in these quantities
a. Handle x2
b. Handlemiddle x2
c. Shims x2
d. ShimNotched x2
e. PCBHolder x2
f. pcbframeOneSpar x12
Bolt all together. You will need a bag full of M3 Nuts and 23mm bolts.
you will also need some M5 Nuts and Thumb bots, and 4 M6 Nuts.
Then 2 M6 Bolts at least 100mm long.
Two 22mm pipes and finally 2 Springs.
The spring goes inside the handle between the middle part and handle.
Get some Mechano or equivalent to make the hold arms so that way you can place the arm over the component and flip it over to work on it without it falling out.

Platts Survey: Power Utilities Cited Regulatory Risk, Weak Wholesale Prices As Greatest Challenges Ahead
LONDON, Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 100 power utility companies and consultancies in Europe identified regulatory risk and weak wholesale power prices as the greatest challenges facing the industry, according to a recent survey conducted by Platts, a leading global energy, petrochemical and metals information provider. Insufficient network development and fuel price risk were also noted as need-to-resolve challenges to the electric utility companies, many of which will attend the fourth annual Platts European Power Generation Conference in Dusseldorf, Germany on April 22-23."The survey reveals a wide spectrum of opinion in a sector struggling on several fronts," said Henry Edwardes-Evans, editor, Platts Power in Europe. "Some respondents believe the industry is adequately equipped to meet power needs, while others believe West Europe is heading for a perfect storm driven by ageing infrastructure, supply volatility of renewables and accelerated nuclear closures." Nearly half of those surveyed said that new conventional power plants are needed in the next three years, particularly in the U.K., Germany and Belgium. Respondents also called for new plants to be built in France within the next five years and in Italy, Ireland and Switzerland within the next 10 years. "When we asked how these plants might be financed, most of those surveyed thought some form of central, regulated support would be needed," said Edwardes-Evans, who will chair the upcoming Platts European Power Generation Conference. "Hardly anyone thought wholesale markets alone would provide sufficient revenue for the infrastructure build." These and other topics will be discussed in depth at the two-day Platts European Power Generation Conference, with the focus theme "European Power: Timing the Tipping Point." Speakers from RWE, E.ON, Vattenfall, Enel, DONG Energy, ESBI and Brightsource Energy, among others, will address the latest trends and developments across varying types of power generation – from conventional, to renewables and biomass, to large scale low-carbon generation – as well as market design and issues around infrastructure investment. See the full conference agenda for details. Corporate and industry executives may register to attend the Platts European Power Generation Conference at the general registration link.

Executive Summary:
Commenting on the report, an analyst said: ''One of the major trends being witnessed in the Global Data Center Outsourcing market is the emergence of vendor-neutral service providers. There are many service providers that integrate the best solutions for various vendors to provide the most efficient services to end-users. The main advantage of using a neutral vendor is that equipment and services can be procured from different vendors across the industry to formulate the best solution possible. As enterprises are nowadays procuring equipment and solutions from different vendors, there is a growing need for vendor-neutral service providers to manage these assembled facilities.''
According to the report, nowadays, data center outsourcing is being increasingly adopted by enterprises to reduce their operational costs and also to increase their efficiency. Enterprises across the globe are in need of options that can reduce the burden of data center management and can also help attain enhanced operational efficiency. Data center outsourcing facilitates better usage of internal resources such as human resources, enterprise capital, and time.
Further, the report reveals that one of the major challenges in this market is the growing concern of end-users over data security.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle large data sets, but they are not well suited to many IoT-scale products and the need for real-time insights. At Fuze, we have developed a backend platform as part of our mobility-oriented cloud service that uses Big Data-based approache...

'Walking Dead' is frightfully fun
Published: Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 11:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 11:46 a.m.
Seasoned gamers are likely aware of Telltale Games — a studio and publisher best known for episodic adventures like Back to the Future, Tales of Monkey Island, Wallace & Gromit and Sam & Max — but the company has now ventured into the horror genre with The Walking Dead, based on Robert Kirkman's best-selling comic and television franchise.
The Walking Dead" Episode 1: "A New Day
Platform: Xbox Live (Xbox 360), PlayStation Network (PlayStation 3), PC & Mac
Genre: Action/Adventure
Developer: Telltale Games
Publisher: Telltale Games
Website: thewalkingdeadgames.com
Price: 400 Microsoft Points, $4.99 per episode on PlayStation Network or $24.99 for all five episodes on PC and Mac
Rating: "Mature"
Score: 3.5 stars (out of 4)
The first episode of the zombie-filled series is now available for download — and is well worth the price of admission for its compelling story and memorable characters. Gameplay not only fuses multiple genres, your decisions truly affect the way the game plays out.
The first of a 5-part series, The Walking Dead — Episode 1 — A New Day introduces Lee Everett, a man convicted of a serious crime. While in the back of the cruiser, you start to notice strange things happening outside your window in Georgia, such as speeding police cars with sirens wailing. Before you know it, the cruiser slams into someone (er, or something) and rolls into a ditch. After you find a way out of the vehicle you realize what's happening around you might be a fate far worse than prison.
As Everett, you're left to fend for yourself in a world ravaged by the undead. Without giving too much away, Everett might also find some redemption in protecting an orphaned 6 year-old girl. Note: You don't need to know anything about The Walking Dead comics or TV adaptation in order to enjoy this interactive tale.
Gameplay is a combination of exploration, puzzle solving, action sequences and plenty of dialogue. But be aware this isn't a zombie shooter like Left 4 Dead or Dead Island — it's an adventure game with a few quick-action moments. While interacting with characters, you'll have a few seconds to select a specific response from a list of options. By choosing an answer (or question), and your desired tone, the information or action it triggers will vary. For example, if you're kind to someone they might just help you later on, or if you decide to flee a scene at night versus the day, something new might be lurking around the corner. Plus, you'll occasionally be forced to make a very tough decision, such as being able to only help one person from flesh-eating zombies — even though two need your help at the same time.
Spike: review
Part of the appeal of this relatively short episode — which should take you about three hours to complete at most — is you can replay the game and try different conversation trees to see how it'll play out.
Despite the fantastic premise, there are plenty of emotional moments, and you'll not doubt grow attached to the characters. But yes, it's a horror game, too — therefore you can also expect a few jump-out-of-your-seat moments, along with plenty of bloody and gory scenes not for the faint of heart.
In the PC version played for this review — downloaded via the Steam service — the intuitive controls were mostly mouse-driven, but they also employ the W-A-S-D keyboard key for character movement.
Visually speaking, the "cel-shaded" game employs a charming art style that looks like it's a black-and-white movie that's been colorized. The artwork was inspired by the original comic books, says Telltale Games. It would also be remiss not to mention the excellent voice acting, sound effects and music that all help contribute to the chilling atmosphere.
Aside from a few small issues — audio that doesn't always match the character's lips (which breaks the immersion) and a technical bug or two (example: I gave a woman batteries to power a radio but she kept asking for them) — A New Day is an inexpensive, attractive and very rewarding interactive adventure.
If this first engrossing episode is any indication, "The Walking Dead" series, with a new episode released each month, will be one of the "must play" games of 2012.

The Ranch House
The Ranch House was built in 1923 by one of San Francisco's most prominent beer producers prior to Prohibition. After being part of Bear Valley Ranch, it was used by the National Park Service as an employee residence for thirty years.
In 1998, the south wing became the home for Point Reyes National Seashore Association's education programs while the east wing houses our offices. The 'living room' is now a classroom/conference room and provides an ample working area and a view of Bear Valley.
The Morgan Horse Ranch, located next door, is where the National Park Service trains and houses the horses used in Point Reyes park for trail maintenance, patrol and rescue operations. There are interpretive exhibits at the ranch and the volunteers are happy to answer questions about the horses.
Conference / Classroom
Deck with a view
Full kitchen
Large working / studio space
Multiple bathrooms
Red Barn Classroom
Built circa 1870 as part of Bear Valley Ranch, this barn was originally unpainted. In the 1906 earthquake, one corner of the barn moved 16 feet. By 1964, when the Park purchased the ranch, it had acquired its signature red color.
The 2002 renovation was funded by grants and donations acquired by Point Reyes National Seashore Association, and now contains a library and museum collection, offices, a meeting room/classroom for park projects, and for classes and environmental education programs for schools.
Classes at the facility usually begin with a lecture and slide presentation, which may last for most of the day (for photo seminars) or for just an hour or so (for birding and natural history classes). After presenting the lecture, the instructor advises students where in the field to meet.
Ample working / studio space
Multiple bathrooms
Historic Lifeboat Station at Chimney Rock
The Point Reyes Lifeboat Station is a National Historic Landmark. It is the last remaining example of a rail-launched lifeboat station that was common on the Pacific coast. Located on Drakes Bay at Chimney Rock, the Lifeboat Station was built in 1927 by the U.S. Coast Guard and contains the crew's quarters, a large boat bay, and a marine railway system for launching a 36-foot life boat.
The ground floor houses the boat bay where a renovated motor boat is located.
The area around the Lifeboat Station is used by the Marine Mammal Center as a release site for rehabilitated wildlife. While staying here some classes are unexpectedly treated to the release of an otter or harbor seal.
Heated sleeping quarters with bunk beds and mattresses for sleeping bags
Two gender-specific bathrooms with hot showers
Fully-equipped kitchen with large fridge and commercial oven and range
Small reading / meeting room
Clem Miller Environmental Education Center
Nestled in a secluded valley two miles from Limantour Beach, the Center is designed as a model of ecological sustainability with composting, recycling, and waste monitoring practices, solar-heated water, and photovoltaic modules providing electricity. Most meals and classroom teachings take place inside the main lodge.
The area was the site of the Laguna Ranch until the late 1930's when the U.S Army installed roads and barracks during the Cold War. Some of the ranch buildings were kept after purchase by the National Park Service in 1971 and were used by the American Youth Hostel. When the army quonset huts (in use as an environmental education camp since 1972) were torn down in 1986, Point Reyes National Seashore Association raised private funds for the present building and donated it to the National Park Service.
Large dining room
Library / science center

Inter president Erick Thohir is excited to watch his side play live for the first time when they host Sampdoria on Sunday.
Thohir, who now owns a 70 per cent share in the San Siro club, is hopeful Inter can win the UEFA Champions League within the next three years.
The Indonesian businessman will have been pleased with his team's start to this season, which sees them sitting fourth having lost just one of their 13 matches.
New manager Walter Mazzarri has impressed and Thohir says he cannot wait to watch his first game at the weekend.
"It's exciting, it's my first time," he told Inter's official website.
"I have some meetings from 2:00pm to 7:00pm today, and I'll have dinner with (predecessor) Mr Moratti and the family.
"Tomorrow more meetings but the most important thing of all is Sunday: it's my first game. And hopefully we'll have a good game.
"Will I see Mazzarri? Today…possibly yes, at the Inter offices."
When pressed if he would discuss transfers with Mazzarri, Thohir said: "Yes, maybe some of the discussions will be about that."

Gary Nova set to start at QB for Rutgers
PISACATAWAY, N.J. — Rutgers coach Kyle Flood's go-to line throughout the offseason had been that if the season started today, Gary Nova would be the team's starting quarterback — leaving the door open for Nova to be beaten out in preseason practice.
That door closed Wednesday.
Nova was named the starter as the Scarlet Knights prepare for their first season as a member of the Big Ten with an opener against Washington State on Aug. 28.

On the planet Vronk, there are no crazy people and therefore no psychiatrists. So when WoodXsxt got ill, it was decided that he should be sent "to be treated with the other crazies" on Earth. Officially he's there on a diplomatic mission with the Sakrohm, but it's possible that even they might end up finding him slightly odd...
When WoodXsxt is played first in the round, the opposing character's Clan Bonus - if activated - will be cancelled. When WoodXsxt is played second in the round, the Ability has no effect.
The opponent's Attack points are reduced by 8 points or up to a minimum of 3. If the opponent's number of Attack points are lower or equal to 3, then the ability has no effect.

Yeah that is a problem for some but not for others. Could be you have 4 primary partitions on the drive already and the Recovery HD partition needs to be primary and there can't be more then 4 of them on any drive.

For the Posts, a two-week trip to the Balearic island of Mallorca with their extended family and friends is a celebration: Franny and Jim are observing their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary, and their daughter, Sylvia, has graduated from high school. The sunlit island, its mountains and beaches, its tapas and tennis courts, also promise an escape from the tensions simmering at home in Manhattan. But all does not go according to plan: Oover the course of the vacation, secrets come to light, old and new humiliations are experienced, childhood rivalries resurface, and ancient wounds are exacerbated.
This is a story of the sides of ourselves that we choose to show and those we try to conceal, of the ways we tear each other down and build each other up again, and the bonds that ultimately hold us together. With wry humor and tremendous heart, Emma Straub delivers a richly satisfying tale of a family in the midst of a maelstrom of change, emerging irrevocably altered yet whole.

"Mark Chiusanos debut collection, Marine Park, homes in on the Brooklyn neighborhood of the title, where the 23-year-old author grew up, offering sparkling and concise linked stories about coming of age hard by some salt marshes, where backyards are boat docks and ball fields are showcases."
"Absolute genius . . . Marine Park . . . has every anecdote of life in an all-American community, from family to sports to drugs. . . . Filled with life stories we can all relate to. . . . [Chiusano] makes it seem like youre hearing these stories from an old friend at a bar, venting about his life, his regrets and his lost dreams, over a couple of drinks. Stories that are short, entertaining and explosive. Stories that will elicit at least one, if not many, memories and experiences from your life and that makes reading Marine Park totally worth it."
—The Boston Herald
"Chiusano gives a voice to the lesser-known Brooklyn neighborhood of Marine Park in his collection of interconnected stories that unearth broader truths among quotidian events, from haircuts to train rides." —The Huffington Post
"Astonishingly good . . . Marine Park feels like youre reading an experimental version of the Great American Novel-like the slim volume was once an 800-page behemoth that has been cut down to its elemental moments . . . vivid, emotionally rich . . . the sheer range of human experience and emotional depth that [Chiusano] reaches in this debut reminds me of reading White Teeth, the incredibly precocious novel that Zadie Smith wrote while in her final year at Cambridge."
—Brooklyn Based
"[A] promising debut collection . . . 23-year-old Chiusano revisits his native Brooklyn—specifically, Marine Park. The neighborhood, distinguished by its salt marshes, canals, and large waterfront park, serves as the collections focal point, bringing together a multigenerational cast of characters. They include a scientist who worked on the Manhattan Project in "Shatter the Trees and Blow Them Away"; an ex-high school basketball star turned gun-toting drug dealer in "Ed Monahans Game"; and the brothers Jamison and Lorris Favero, whom we follow from adolescence in the early 2000s to adulthood in the present, in eight of the stories. In two of them, "Heavy Lifting" and "Open Your Eyes," Chiusano is at his best, carefully delineating sibling relationships and building tension."
—Publishers Weekly
"From slice-of-life tales to hair-raising thrillers to traditional relationship dramas. . . . Chiusanos debut collection takes readers along the streets and through the history of an isolated Brooklyn neighborhood, portraying everyday people who call Marine Park home. . . . Chiusanos impressive prose and topical range suggest the onset of a promising literary career worth keeping an eye on."
"In clean, honed prose, Mark Chiusano gives us an intimate tour of a neighborhood of Brooklyn not offered up in fiction before. His explorations of loyalty within a family, and the breach of it, are startling and affecting—his sense of story is impeccable. Marine Park is a debut worth a readers close attention."
—Amy Hempel, author of The Collected Stories of Amy Hempel
"The stories in Marine Park are funny and touching and elliptical, and all about coming of age at the edge of the city and on the margins of the good life, with some moving forward and others left behind. Mark Chiusano is wonderful on how our minds can be elsewhere even when we wish to be wholly present, and on the oblique ways in which we therefore often have to signal our indispensability to one another."
—Jim Shepard, author of You Think That's Bad
"One of the most subtle, tender, emotionally powerful books that Ive read in a long time. Set mostly in Brooklyn, but its subject is the whole of America. If youve never been to Marine Park before, by the end of this collection youll feel like youd lived there your whole life. This is a stunning debut."
—Saïd Sayrafiezadeh, author of When Skateboards Will Be Free and Brief Encounters with the Enemy
"Heres the spirit of dear Sherwood Anderson in Mark Chiusanos Marine Park, another village brimming with all of the odd drama of families and loners. There is something a little old and wise in this talented writers debut. At times the stories read like the news, letters from a friend, and at times the tales seem elegiac glimpses of a lost world. Mr. Chiusano is writing family from the inside out and he makes this world an aching bittersweet pleasure. Here is the kind of affectionate particularity which marks a fine writer."
—Ron Carlson, author of Return to Oakpine
"In Marine Park, Mark Chiusano shines a light on lives that are too often left in the dark. He shows us, with humor and deep-hearted compassion, the complexities of growing up and growing old in the blue collar shadows, and he gives us, story after story, the chance to see ourselves in his longing, hopeful characters. This is a wise and affecting collection, and it marks the arrival of a voice weve not heard until now, one that will carry through the streets and alleys of contemporary literature for years to come."
—Bret Anthony Johnston, author of Remember Me Like This
"Delicious . . . richly riveting." —People (four stars)
"[Emma Straub has] created the best feel-good story of the summer." —The Washington Post
"A nearly perfect read, beach or otherwise." —O, The Oprah Magazine
"Gorgeously written novel ." —The New York Times Book Review
"Set down on the idyllic island of Majorca in the Mediterranean Sea, the Posts confront that universal complaint of vacationing families everywhere: There is nothing to do but get on one anothers nerves. Still, thats plenty of activity for Straub to spin one beguiling scene after another, exposing spots of annoyance slathered with sunscreen. Much of the comedy springs from the tension between being required to have the best time in the world and wanting to stab someone with an ice pick. . . . In these pages — so funny, so wise and, yes, even so sweet — shes created the best feel-good story of the summer."—The Washington Post
"Emma Straub puts the fun back in dysfunction."—San Francisco Chronicle
"Those who love novels featuring sly humor, sun-drenched islands, and family drama will fall fast and hard for this one. A nearly perfect read, beach or otherwise."—O, The Oprah Magazine
"Theres nothing more addictive than a darkly funny dysfunctional domestic drama. Straubs novel-set during a fraught family vacation in Mallorca-is pretty much the perfect beach read."—Entertainment Weekly
"For those unable to jet off to a Spanish island this summer, reading The Vacationers may be the next-best thing. . . . [A] gorgeously written novel . . . When I turned the last page, I felt as I often do when a vacation is over: grateful for the trip and mourning its end."—The New York Times Book Review
"A psychologically astute comic novel. . . . Picturesque and filled with the solvable problems of the privileged, this is the kind of novel Franny or Sylvia might take on a trip to read poolside. Its good company."—The Boston Globe
"Emma Straubs bustling new novel is about a New York familys two-week idyll in a house on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Its also about a different kind of break: infidelity. . . . The storys women are so well drawn that they seem instantly familiar. . . . Witty."—The New York Times
"The Vacationers takes readers on an affecting, funny ride."—The Miami Herald
"Straub has a knack, reminiscent of Lorrie Moore, for writing beautiful prose about ordinary situations. . . . The Vacationers really is perfect summer reading: a beautifully written story thats neither too depressing nor too charming."—AV Club

"Too compelling to leave your chaise lounge!"—In Style
"Full of Warmth and Wisdom . . . a frothy beach read."—NPR
"Irresistible novel about simmering family tensions."—Town and Country
"Funny, poignant, and beautifully observed."—Jojo Moyes, author of Me Before You, via Twitter

And they will linger with me, this richly imagined family, long into the future."—Elizabeth Gilbert

Emma Straub's writing is deft, clear and wise in ways that will surprise and delight you. It's a beyond the beach read. It's Ms. Straub at her dazzling best."—Adriana Trigiani, author of The Shoemakers Wife
"Expertly observed…offers such psychologically astute portrayals of the characters that it is hard not to feel fondly towards even their least appealing quirks. Its a delightful, breezy read in every way but one—its a vacation thats hard to leave behind."—Elle
"Did Emma Straub just get a little John Cheever-esque with her latest novel? Take the WASPy family on vacation, with all their little underlying issues coming to the surface, combined with Straubs witty and colorful writing, and The Vacationers is the type of book just about anybody can read and enjoy. We guarantee this will be on every single list of summer beach reads come next month. Just you watch."—Flavorwire
"Funny and tender . . . the perfect lighthearted beach read."—Pop Sugar

Fire roster untouched in expansion draft
By Charlie Corr
Any concerns over losing a portion of the Chicago Fire's roster were put to rest as the Montreal Impact made 10 selections outside of the Fire's unprotected player pool during Wednesday's MLS Expansion Draft.
Former Fire midfielder and Impact head coach Jesse Marsch inherits a franchise that selected former Houston Dynamo forward
Brian Ching
with the top pick in the draft. Despite reports that Ching said he would retire if selected in the expansion draft, the Impact took him No. 1 anyway.
Former Fire midfielder Justin Mapp played in 29 games this season for the Philadelphia Union.
The Impact's third selection was former Fire midfielder
Justin Mapp
out of the Philadelphia Union. Mapp started in 24 of 29 games this past season, tallying three goals and four assists.
Chicago entered the expansion draft with a trio of defenders who had nine or more starts during the 2011 season -- right back
Dan Gargan
and center backs
Josip Mikulic
Yamith Cuesta
. But the Impact focused elsewhere and the Fire's roster stays intact heading into the offseason.
Last year the Fire lost midfielders
John Thorrington
and Peter Lowry in the expansion draft to the Vancouver Whitecaps and Portland Timbers, respectively. They played a combined 14 games and did not log a goal or an assist during the 2011 season.
The Impact brings the league to 19 franchises for the 2012 campaign. On Wednesday, Montreal selected seven-year veteran defender/midfielder
James Riley
with its ninth pick, but then traded Riley to Chivas USA for forward
Justin Braun
and midfielder
Gerson Mayen
. The Impact took 20-year-old Chivas defender and 2011 first-round draft pick
Zarek Valentin
with its second selection in the expansion draft.
Impact's 2011 MLS Expansion Draft selections:
1. Brian Ching (F, Houston Dynamo); 2. Zarek Valentin (D, Chivas USA); 3. Justin Mapp (M, Philadelphia Union); 4.
Bobby Burling
(D, San Jose Earthquakes); 5.
Jeb Brovsky
(M, Vancouver Whitecaps); 6.
Collen Warner
(M, Real Salt Lake); 7. Josh Gardner (D, Columbus Crew); 8.
Sanna Nyassi
(M, Colorado Rapids); 9. James Riley* (D, Seattle Sounders); 10.
Seth Sinovic
(D, Sporting Kansas City)
* Traded to Chivas USA for Justin Braun and Gerson Mayen

Prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes Subtypes in Bulk Milk of the Pacific Northwest
Abstract:The prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in bulk milk from three Pacific Northwest states was assessed for 474 herds at three time points. For samples collected in November 2000 and June 2001, the L. monocytogenes prevalence levels were 4.9 and 7.0%, respectively. All isolates were subtyped by serotyping and by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Forty-nine of the 55 isolates belonged to serogroup 1/2a, while 6 belonged to serogroup 4. Subtyping by PFGE revealed that isolates from 31 herds shared 10 patterns; there was a weak but significant association between PFGE subtype and geographical distance. Six herds were positive for L. monocytogenes at both time points. Of these six herds, four had indistinguishable PFGE patterns at both time points. Twenty-five of the 33 herds that were positive in June 2001 were sampled again in June 2002. L. monocytogenes was recovered from 17 of these 25 herds (68%), with the Apa I restriction enzyme digestion profiles (REDP) for 8 herds being identical to those of isolates recovered from these herds the previous year. The ApaI REDP for the bulk milk isolates were compared with those for isolates recovered from environmental and human samples that were collected by the Washington Department of Health (n = 23). Analysis of ApaI digestion profiles revealed that only two of the Washington Department of Health isolates had digestion profiles similar to those for isolates from bulk milk; however, further analysis with the use of a second enzyme (AscI) was capable of discriminating between isolates from the two sources. Thus, we found no direct REDP matches between bulk milk and clinical isolates.
