Occupation-level analysis of short-term labour market impacts from trade can provide policy makers with better insights than industry-level studies, says this paper using a unique dataset based on harmonised labour force surveys from Canada, Israel, United Kingdom, United States, Brazil and South Africa. For instance, occupation-level data shows that imports can be associated with higher wages and a lower probability of unemployment.
Agricultural trade can be a powerful engine for economic growth, poverty reduction, and development. However, efforts by developing countries to expand their agricultural trade are often hampered by domestic supply-side constraints such as lack of trade-related infrastructure. This report looks at some of the most important of these constraints, and features case studies from Indonesia, Zambia and Mozambique.
This paper examines how three multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) incorporate transparency into their regulatory regimes: CITES (endangered species, especially tropical timber), the Basel Convention (hazardous e-waste), and the Kimberley Process (conflict diamonds)
This study provides quantitative assessments of the impact of two structural changes that a number of market observers have identified as contributing to world wheat market price volatility. The factors examined relate to changes in demand in the large emerging countries of the BRICs (comprising Brazil, the Russian Federation, India and China).
Governments appear increasingly inclined to apply border and domestic measures to restrict the export of raw materials. For industrial raw materials, the OECD is constructing an Inventory of measures that have been applied since 2009. The underlying survey covers some 100 countries, some 15 types of measures and most minerals, metals and wood. This paper analyses 2009-2010 data collected so far for the minerals and metals sector.
This paper reviews the scientific literature on the impacts of climate change on yield variance and investigates their implications for the demand of crop insurance and effectiveness of different farm strategies and policy measures using crop farm data in Australia, Canada and Spain.
Recent experience of highly turbulent markets has renewed interest in quantitative assessment of price volatility by stochastic simulations using the AGLINK-COSIMO model. Measuring the contribution of correlation of yield shocks to price volatility, this paper shows that correlation effects account for a significant portion of price volatility for coarse grains and wheat.

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) - Love is in the air in Cabarrus County. It's also in the phone book - many, many times.
Cabarrus has the nation's highest concentration of people named Love - eight times more per capita than the national average - according to a Valentine's-week study by a San Diego marketing research firm.
Union, Gaston and Mecklenburg counties aren't far behind Cabarrus, making North Carolina one of the nation's Love-liest states.
Clementeene Love Glover of Gastonia said her maiden name is telling: "I'm just a friendly, happy-go-lucky person. I love my family and I love people."
"It's a beautiful name, Love," she said. "It's a way of life."
The demographers at Claritas Inc. tossed around several monikers - Romeo, Casanova, Cupid - in their search for Loves.
They tried Lust, too. But even where Lust is popular (first place: Oneida County, N.Y.), Love prevailed.

The 2011 NASCAR season is only six races old, but it is never too early to start critiquing the performances of the sport's biggest stars. Some drivers have overachieved from preseason expectations, while others have been greatly disappointing.
We will take a quick look at the way the season has started for some of the more notable names in the Sprint Cup Series, and grade their performance after one-sixth of the season.
The good news for any of the drivers receiving low marks is that there is still plenty of time to turn it around, while conversely, the drivers who are off to great starts have the pressure on to maintain for 30 more races.
Did your favorite driver make the grade? Let's find out by getting class in session.

Do your job well and you can make a lot of money as a waiter. When one has 3-4 tables and each table is an average of $150 per meal and you provide excellent service you're looking at, conservatively, $45-$60/hour. And that's if the people are cheap.

Galena Biopharma and Leica Biosystems are partnering to develop a companion diagnostic for Galena's NeuVax™ (nelipepimut-S or E75) breast cancer therapeutic. Leica's Bond Oracle™ Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) IHC System companion diagnostic will be used to support the selection of the appropriate patients for the NeuVax Phase III PRESENT study. NeuVax targets HER2 negative patients (IHC 1+, or 2+ and FISH <2.2) who achieve remission with current standard of care, but have no available HER2-targeted adjuvant treatment options to maintain their disease-free status.
Leica's Bond Oracle HER2 IHC System is an FDA cleared semi-quantitative immunohistochemical assay to determine HER2 oncoprotein status in breast cancer tissue processed for histological evaluation.
"The Leica Bond Oracle HER2 IHC System is validated as a fully-automated HER2 IHC test, and delivers the diagnostic confidence that comes with proven HER2 FISH concordance," said Arnd Kaldowski, president of Leica Biosystems.
Galena is developing NeuVax to prevent recurrence in the 50% of breast cancer HER2 patients with low to intermediate protein expression who are not eligible to receive other therapies after initial treatment. According to the company, NeuVax immunotherapy uses the patients' own immune system to target tumor cells in a highly specific, less toxic, and more convenient way than conventional cancer therapies.
Earlier this week, Galena announced that Teva Pharmaceutical Industries will develop and market NeuVax in Israel. Under the agreement, Teva will handle the development and regulatory process and conduct at least four clinical trials of NeuVax in the country.

Before any company moves to the cloud, an inevitable question is asked: Will our data be secure? A 2014 IBM study found that while 85 percent of chief information security officers (CISOs) believe their company's move to the cloud is imminent, more than 40 percent also believe a significant security breach will happen at a major cloud provider.
As businesses shift their mission-critical workloads to the cloud, IT departments are tasked with not only managing company data, but also securing it. Choosing a cloud service provider that fits your security strategy is key. IT Business Edge recently spoke with Sean Jennings, co-founder and SVP of solutions architecture at Virtustream, who shared five cloud security and compliance tips for IT leaders as they transition their companies to the cloud.

D. Malignant Pelvic Growths
Next to carcinoma of the breast, uterine cancer ranks as the commonest malignant growth in females, since 23% of cancerous white women have the disease (Dorn). From birth to death the probability of a woman's having carcinoma of the uterus is 3.56% (Morris and Meigs). There are three to five times more cervical than endometrial (fundal, corpus) cancers (Nathanson, 1944a) and five living patients with the neoplasm for each patient who dies of uterine cancer (Ackerman and del Regato).
1. Endometrial Cancer.
—About 0.5% of women over 40 years old acquire endometrial cancer (Dorn), and the incidence is rising (Speert, 1948). The primary hope for cure includes a combination of radium therapy and surgical measures, with a five-year survival rate of 55 to 75% in operable cancers and 35 to 40% in cancers treated with radium and x-rays alone (Hertig and Sommers; Meigs, 1945; Palmer and

Enjoy the breathtaking views of the ocean and Desecheo Island. Relax and enjoy the sunset on the roof top terrace. This town home was built in 2006 with all new furniture and bedding. Large Private master bedroom with ensuite bath. Spacious layout allows privacy if traveling with 2 couples. (Now! Excepting credit cards ) Head out to the pristine beach in our new beach chairs! Enjoy the sunset and whale watching.
Just thought you'd like to know. Was nice to have the chairs, towels and especially the cooler! If you'd like to check Alaska out sometime let us know, it's spectacular!
This was the perfect place for my girlfriend and I. There is a grocery store 3 minutes away (Super Coop) where we were able to pick up food for the week. The grill was great to have! There is a very peacefeul beach down the street/hill from the townhouse that is perfect if you want to enjoy the ocean and not worry about alot of noise and distraction. The neighborhood is very residential and more upscale, which is nice. There are two open-air style restaurants down the street which were good. One is a little more upscale, the other is more of a laid back bar/restaurant that turns into a bar at night, but it still had white linen on the tables.
The best part for us is we were left alone, this is not a touristy place like San Juan or Rincon, which is great if you want to lay on the beach, read books and just relax. We went into Rincon (5-10 minute drive) to take surfing lessons.
Overall I would highly recommend this rental and the area to anyone looking to avoid a tourist trap/ more hectic scene.
Clean, casual,great neighborhood peaceful and safe. We would recommand without a doubt
First the positives: Mark has always been very nice and very responsive. The condo is an interesting multi-level home with a lovely view of the ocean from the kitchen level balcony and the rooftop. Everything you really need is provided. There are lots of restaurants and bars very nearby and a nice beach too.
Room for improvement: Compared to other HomeAway and VRBO properties we've stayed in over the years, there were a number of things missing that would have made the condo more convenient. There was no clothes basket even though the washer and dryer are on the entry level. There was no drainer or dishpan in the kitchen. There are absolutely no towel racks. (There's plenty of room in the master bedroom for a collapsible rack for drying towels and swimsuits.) The dryer door could be reversed to open more conveniently in the narrow laundry room. There was no ice cream scoop - important in our family anyway.
Obviously none of these things is terribly important, but not having them did make our stay less user friendly.
Spent a week at this place and am totally satisfied. Clean, well maintained, close to everything we needed and wanted to do. Owners very pro active and easy to deal with. Would highly recommend this rental.
First and foremost, My family and I want to thank Mr. Mark for allowing us to stay and enjoy this special place. We found it to be very clean and comfortable. The property is located strategically in an area nearby surfing towns and amazing beaches. Alongside with good people, restaurants and attraction sites, this unique place will definitely entice guests to truly enjoy yet keeping it simple and overall very nice. My family and I would certainly experience it again.
Thanks Mark!
First time in PR with a couple of buddy's of mine. We found marks place one of the most affordable and the location is perfect. The house is incredibly fresh if you open the windows. The property was very clean once we got there. We had everything we needed pans, plays, silverware, cups, etc. You have bars and places to eat just down the hill. The beaches to surf a really close like Rincon and some other. 100% recomened Marks place to anybody. Going back this year again. Cheers
Located in a upscale quiet neighborhood

On Tap Today: Super Bowl bites
It's time to come to the "acceptance" phase of the greiving process - the Packers will not be in the Super Bowl this year. So try to look on the bright side - you won't have to stress out so much during the game, allowing you to better concentrate on what's truly the most important aspect of any Super Bowl Sunday, the food.
And in that department, the Bay View Community Center (1320 E. Oklahoma Ave.) has you covered. From 6:30 to 9 p.m. tonight it's hosting a Super Bowl party cooking class. For $16 you can learn how to make five different varieties of wings--classic buffalo, Carribbean jerk, honey-habernero pepper, spicy Korean and parmesean garlic--as well as homemade cracked pepper potato chips with onion dip, and the unofficial state snack, beer and cheese fondue with soft pretzels. And you'll be to taste these snacks of the class of course, and there'll be soda, beer and coffee to help you wash it down. And raffle prizes. »Read Full Blog Post

Ryan Dobson Compares Homosexuality to Alcoholism
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 1/10/2012 5:10 pm
Ryan Dobson, the son of Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, likened homosexuality with alcoholism yesterday on his radio program Grounded. While speaking with Warren Cole Smith of WORLD Magazine about the case of a lesbian couple who sued a bed and breakfast whose owner denied a room to same-sex couples out of fear that they would "defile the land" under the state's public accommodation law, he said that people who are born gay are just like unabashed drinkers who say they are born with alcoholism. The younger Dobson, who is divorced, also mocked the lesbian couple for objecting to anti-gay discrimination while reading a news story about the suit:
'A lesbian couple sues Hawaiian bed and breakfast, two women from Southern California'—shocker—'suing the owner'—shocker—'of a Hawaiian inn for denying them a room in 2007. According to the lawsuit, the owner of the Aloha Bead and Breakfast in Honolulu asked the woman booking the room if she and the woman whom she was trying to book a room with were a couple, she said they were, the woman said she was uncomfortable renting rooms to same-sex and any other unmarried couples.' So now they're suing, here's what they want, they want monetary damages, because apparently their feelings were hurt to the sum of a great deal of money.
Warren here's what I wonder, in this way could you sue a bartender for refusing you alcohol if you go, 'listen I'm an alcoholic I was born this way, I was born this way, I can't do anything about it, you are discriminating against me because I want more alcohol and you're not serving me.' It's normally up to a bartender's discretion to say, 'I'm sorry buddy you've had too much,' and I go, 'it's not up to you I had too much it's up to me because I'm born this way and I can't help it.'

Shop the entire Eve Lom collection here.
Summer is the perfect time to tuck away your sweaters, but not your daily skincare routine. Before you place that bottle of moisturizer at the back of your drawer, keep it handy to protect and balance your skin's tone.
If it's hot and muggy out, it's natural to think you don't need to use a moisturizer after washing your face. After all, there's enough moisture in the air to keep your skin hydrated, right? Wrong. When you fail to moisturize your face, even when the humidity outside reaches 100 percent, your skin will try to compensate by producing an excess amount of sebum. Consequently, your skin will look extra oily and dull, and you'll be more prone to breakouts.
Eve Lom offers a solution with its unique Moisturizer + SPF 15, which is suitable for all skin and weather conditions. Your skin easily absorbs the moisturizer while the rosemary leaf and chestnut create a toning effect, giving you a matte look on even the hottest days.
Whenever you use a daytime moisturizer, make sure it contains UV protection. The SPF in Eve Lom moisturizer can help prevent skin cancer and cellular damage, especially when you pair it with other sun-smart techniques. Furthermore, the red, green and white tea extracts are antioxidants that help fight free radicals and prevent premature aging.
Next to moisturizing, cleansing is one of the most important elements of a skincare routine. In what Vogue describes as "the best cleanser in the world," the Eve Lom Cleanser combines hops, cloves, Egyptian chamomile, coco butter and eucalyptus oil. The result is a facial cleanser that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, tones and removes makeup, leaving you with a radiant complexion and balanced skin. Use the Eve Lom cleanser in the morning and before bed.
Cleanse and protect your skin all year with the help of Eve Lom skincare products. Order yours today to see why it's a fashionista favorite.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Solamar - a Kimpton Hotel San Diego
New Building - Service below par
Being locals we decided to celebrate our anniversary for two nights in our town. The building and facilities are up to par of a Marroitt or Hyatt. The rooms are smaller but its in the middile of the gas lamp action. Very fun hopping five square blocks. The basic standards of having clean windows, getting daily maid service and the advertised robes were details I have never had to correct. The $24 daily parking fee would have been ok if I had known and could have had contact with my car without the services of a valet. Even today Hotel Solamar does not mention you will pay to see your car after you've checked in. Make plans to hold them accountable to basic standards and expect parking to average $30 per day. If you are willing to to that you'll have fun. If not stay on the bay at the Hyatt or Marriott.
Excellent hotel
I stayed at the Hotel Solamar for a week in early May, and actually got to experience their fantastic Grand Opening! The bed was probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on, ever! My room and bathroom matched what is shown on the Internet (not one of those cases where the hotel only shows the grand suite on their website, and their other rooms don't even come close). The hotel was immaculate. I had a room overlooking the pool and bar. I was not bothered by noise, but then again I was not in the room trying to sleep at an early hour! There seemed to be a large number of staff around the hotel, and they were all very nice and always greeted me. The hotel is definitely "design-oriented" and can have some of that "attitude", especially by some of the guests. As a design professional, however, I was not bothered by that. I did not eat at the restaurant, and found the drinks at the pool bar to be pricy, but you have to experience the ambience at least once! I also did not park a car, as I walked or used public transportation to get around. I am trying to get a room at the Solamar for my next trip in January.
Trendy but needs work on the basics
The hotel facilities are great - classy bars and restaurants but they can't seem to get down the basics. I ordered room service at 8:00am on a Tuesday morning and had to call several times just to get someone to answer. Then it took about an hour to get oatmeal delivered. The coffee maker in the room was also broken so I had to wait for coffee as well. Not to mention that each time I called for something they said Hello Mr. Brown - which was not my name. This hotel seems to focus too much on the Trendy aspects of things but has trouble taking care of very basic hotel responsibilities.
Trendy Hotel Just Okay, Would Not Return
The decor of this hotel is very contemporary, the details such as the bathroom tile used, bathroom sink, and towels were exquisite. The bathroom has a great showerhead and the towels are not the usual thin hotel standard but a very plush thick white. Aveda bath products are provided which were very nice. The bed is pretty comfortable, the linens very nice. There is a flat screen tv that comes with a dvd player and a mini bar. Also provided are two very sexy plush robes for your use in the room; one in a leopard print and one in zebra stripes. I took a new one home for a $75. It is lushious!
The room was great, BUT I don't appreciate getting stiffed for the extra items such as the EXTREMELY STEEP price of $24 for Valet Parking with no option of self-parking. Thankfully we had gotten a good price on the room of $134 through an email offer due to the new opening. But still, $24 for parking is ridiculous. This is not the Ritz and the Ritz doesn't even have the audacity to charge $24 for parking.
Apparently this is the new HOT SPOT for trendy San Diegans so beware if you have a room overlooking the pool (if you can call it that, it's only 3 feet deep) because the Pool Bar is packed until the wee hours of the morning and even with the windows of your room closed you can still hear the goings-on downstairs.
We came back to our room one late afternoon to find that our key no longer opened our room and we had been locked out. I went to the house phone near the elevator and asked that someone come open our room and bring new keys and they said they would. We waited 10 minutes with no assistance. I then went to the front desk and the gentleman (who happened to be a Front Manager) reprogrammed our keys, but didn't bother to apologize or compensate for the embarassing inconvience. They have a lot to learn on how to treat guests.
The clientele is very young and very arrogant. The location is great. Overall it is just okay. I would not return. I would sooner stay at the Westin down the street. Hope this helps.
Wonderful hotel!
My husband and I had the amazing opportunity to spend four days in San Diego and chose this hotel. We had a wonderful experience! From the moment we checked in to this property to four days later when we left, it couldn't have been a better stay.
We live in the San Francisco area and often spend a weekend in the City as well as New York, Chicago, Miami and other East Coast cities. We've stayed in several very nice boutique hotels throughout the country. Hotel Solamar rates with the best. One would hope when a hotel has just opened that everything would be beautiful, new, fresh, etc! We were not disappointed. The staff is excellent, friendly, helpful - we made friends with several front desk managers and others working in the hotel.
Loved the decor, colors, Aveda products, soft towels, luxurious sheets, comfortable bed and comforter.
We had a room that overlooked Petco Park. Unfortunately, the Padres were not in town, but we made up for it by lounging by the hotel's relaxing pool and bar. We didn't eat at the hotel as there are so many restaurants to select from in the downtown area, as well as small boutique shops. The menu at the pool was creative. I observed the food served to others and it looked quite appetizing.
Hopefully, the City of San Diego continues to clean up the downtown area. We were approached by several vagrant types - not what we wanted to see in that area, although it didn't keep us from walking around. We felt comfortable at all times. Croce's was a fun bar with great live bands as well as Johnny Loves.
We would return to the Hotel Solamar in a heartbeat! Four relaxing, fun-filled and sunny days in San Diego.
New Hotel Needs Work
Hotel Solamar is a brand new hotel in downtown San Diego. Being brand new has its pros and cons. Let me explain.
Excellent rooms, very comfortable beds, very clean bathrooms, and a spotless lobby.
Staff and service. Even though the hotel recently opened, the staff should know some simple directions to the La Jolla area & some local attractions. I was transfered three different times, and after a long hold, someone gave me some hurried advice. The staff did not seem apologetic or welcoming at all.
Also, the hotel restaurant, JSix, needs service improvement as well. When we entered the hostess seemed reluctant to give us a table, and when we finally sat down, we told our server we needed a few minutes to look over the menu before ordering our breakfast. Shockingly, the server replied that the "kitchen closes at 10:30, so I don't mean to rush you, but I need to rush you".
I understand that establishments do close, but having already been seated, I did not understand why a kitchen would close when there is still a few people who have not ordered yet. Another person approached our table and asked what the problem was, and again stressed that the kitchen does close. From that experience, I gathered that the servers just did not want to serve us because they were getting ready for their lunch menu. I found that extremely odd; even non-hotel restaurants have their kitchens stay open if there are guests in still in the restaurant.
While I understand that the staff is a bit new, they still need to understand how to approach such situations. I would have been fine if they turned us away at the door, but the fact that they let us in implied that they would stay open for us. Also, the staff could be less short with guests and be more pleasant.
Don't stay anywhere else!!
My Wife and I stayed at the Solamar the weekend of 5/7 for our Birthdays and had an unbelievable experience. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Solamar. The hotel is beautiful. Rich organic earth tones combined with a swanky atmosphere are evident throughout.
We spent both nights enjoying JBar the 4th floor pool bar/lounge. 3 firepits, a huge curved bar, tons of modern comfortable chairs and loungers and several private (free) cabana/lounge spaces make Jbar the place to be. It closes around Midnight unfortunately but we just stepped over the elevator and closed out our night downstairs at Jsix which is the fantastic main bar and restaurant. Don't miss the best Mojito this side of Cuba. They use ginger syrup which really makes the drink.
The rooms have soft comfortable beds & pillows with high thread count linens. They did a great job decorating the rooms and bathrooms, again earthy, rich & modern. The hotel stocks the rooms with Aveda bath products which was a nice touch.
The pool is small but the surrounding spacious Jbar is perfect for lounging and enjoying the day. They provide comfortable padded loungers, and have great service for food and drinks. Try the lamb skewers!!!
The Solamar provides a nightly free wine tasting/happy hour from 5:30-6:30 which is a great way to start your evening!
Every staff member at the Solamar was incredibly nice and accommodating. My Wife and I commented several times throughout our stay. They really seem to enjoy their jobs, making you feel comfortable, making sure you are having a good time and have everything you need.
Valet parking which is the only option seemed a little steep but it was nice to know that my car was secure unlike the W hotel which leaves your car in an open lot across the street! The Solamar has its own secure covered parking.
The location is ideal. It's right by the new ballpark and just off the Gaslamp Quarter so you don't hear any noise yet you can walk everywhere easily and safely.
The Solamar is a truly special hotel that will exceed your expectations.
New Hotel in Town
The Hotel Solamar is the latest location in the Kimpton Group's chain of boutique hotels. All of the distinctive Kimpton touches are there - evening wine reception, premium morning coffee, very comfortable bed, Aveda toiletries, great upscale restaurant on-site. The hotel is on the edge of the Gaslamp entertainment district, so there are plenty of bars, restaurants and a movie theater within walking distance. Due to the newness of the facility, the staff seemed eager but unpolished. Also, the rooms were somewhat smaller than usual--the desk was at the foot of the bed, and it would be very difficult for someone to walk between the desk and the bed if anyone was sitting there. Valet parking was a bit pricey at $24 and there did not appear to be on-site self parking available, but there are cheaper third party lots nearby. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and recommend the Solamar, particularly if you like your hotel with attitude (modern decor, loud music piped throughout the ground floor).
A Great Start ...
We have just returned from a weekend at the new Hotel Solamar. Its a wonderful property with great staff, all of whom treated our yorkie like the little person we think she is. The rooms are well appointed with great beds and amenities. The location is within easy walking distance of load of attractions. The only downside was the service in "J-Six", the restaurant associated with the hotel. The entrance from the hotel is effectively through the service area of the restaurant, which is a little uncomfortable, and the service left quite a bit to be desired. You won't starve though, as there are tons of great restaurants in the surrounding area.
Worth a visit
We stayed at Hotel Salomar for 2 nights about two weeks after it opened. Staff members were enthusiastic and friendly if a bit uninformed. I suppose they haven't had long to get up to speed on the neighborhood but our questions seemed to stump them. The pool and health club had not opened yet. I wish the Kimpton representative had mentioned this when I made the reservation a mere 5 days before arrival. Given more time to work out the kinks, The Salomar will be worth a visit due to the great location and gorgeous rooms.

Anthropologists are concerned with their own society, but only as one among many. When anthropology seeks to understand economics, politics, religion, violence, child-rearing or art, it aims eventually at a broad comparative knowledge which does not assume that the contemporary Western expressions are the most important, or even the most revealing, in the quest for an understanding of human cultures and societies.
In fact, anthropologists have been led to examine in detail societies which are very different from their own, where ideas about beauty, morality, authority and dignity vary markedly from those with which they are familiar.

Though he acknowledges that they rarely agree when it comes to policy, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has offered a ringing endorsement of Sen. Rand Paul's, R-Ky., latest proposal: the restoration of felons' voting rights. Paul, a tea party darling, just introduced a bill that would restore the rights of nonviolent offenders, a longtime priority of civil rights groups, including the NAACP. Reid recalled that he introduced a similar bill in 2002 that ultimately did not pass, but he expressed optimism that Paul's bill can go the distance. "I hope so," he said, adding, "even though his bill doesn't go as far as mine, I still think it is a really good piece of legislation.
Reid believes that even violent offenders should have the right to vote, which differentiates his previous bill, and his personal philosophy, from Paul's. He quoted from a previous floor speech he gave on the subject, saying, "We have a saying in this country, 'If you do the crime, you do the time,' and I agree with that. If you do the time and do it completely, why should you have to do more time?"
He declined to address those who may have concerns about the idea of a child abuser, for instance, serving little time and retaining the right to vote. "Not getting into 'perhaps,' what-ifs. Let's just look at where we are," he said. "What Rand Paul wants to do is for nonviolent crimes, let the person vote. Who can oppose that?"
Asked if he considers this matter a major civil rights issue, Reid replied, "I don't know what the word 'major' means, but it is a civil rights issue."
But for Democrats it may be more than that. It may be a saving grace. Asked about the fact that voter ID laws are expected to disproportionately affect minority voters, Reid replied, "That's an understatement." But he declined to say that restoring felon voting rights was a way for Democrats to maintain the electoral advantage that they are sure to lose in some districts because of restrictive voter ID laws.
"Come on. Let's be logical here," he said, when asked if there is hope that restoring felon voting rights will give Democrats a political advantage. "There are millions of people who deserve to vote. I don't think people should get into the color of their skin or their religion. I just think it's the right thing to do. Whether Democrats or Republicans, they should be able to." Pressed on whether this benefits minority voters more, he said, "You know the statistics as well as I do. I didn't look at it statistically; I looked at it as the fair thing to do."
Calling Paul one of the nicest people he has served with in the Senate, and contrasting Paul's open-mindedness on the issue with the opposition and rhetoric of Paul's Kentucky colleague, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, back in 2002 on the same issue, Reid thinks momentum is on the right side of the issue.
Reid thinks that Paul's legislation will move forward "because I think it is an issue that is ripe for solving. It is simply unfair. I think he has hit the sweet spot here related to nonviolent crimes. I think it should be done. I think the time is now. It's a good time to do it."
