Statement of Eileen Claussen
President, Pew Center on Global Climate Change
October 7, 2008
I commend Chairmen Dingell and Boucher for their leadership in producing draft legislation that advances the climate change debate and demonstrates the commitment needed to pass national climate policy in the next Congress. I am strongly encouraged that, even in the midst of challenging economic times, Chairmen Dingell and Boucher remain focused on producing a thoughtful piece of legislation that would reduce U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
I'm especially encouraged by the Chairmen's approach to reducing GHGs through an economy-wide cap-and-trade system. Cap and trade is the most economically efficient way to meet our most urgent environmental imperative. The discussion draft also looks to control costs with sensible mechanisms and to encourage rapid deployment of efficient and low-carbon technologies.
As with any draft, there is room for improvement and refinement, and here I look forward to seeing the debate progress, especially in discussions about the near-term emissions target, trade measures, and appropriate regulatory authorities. I recommend that the final bill include tighter caps requiring that GHG emissions be reduced to 1990 levels by 2020. Also, trade measures should only be considered as a last resort, and not be implemented before 2020 to allow other efforts to protect energy-intensive industries enough time to succeed. Finally, I am concerned about some proposed options regarding the pre-emption of existing state and EPA authority under the Clean Air Act.
That said, I salute the Chairmen for their dedication to tackling this difficult challenge and am anxious to get started on the work ahead.

Hair styles: How to create a big hair spike or mohawk
Directions and tips on how to create a mohawk or spikes in your hair
So you've decided to go for a mohawk look, but are unsure of how to go about it?
The steps are simple.
The crux of a mohawk is that your hair must be shorter on the sides than on the top of your head. There are several ways this can be achieved; one of the most simple is to cut the hair on the sides of your head shorter with clippers.
First of all, you need a friend who can help you cut your hair.
You'll need a comb and a pair of electric clippers, or decent scissors if no clippers are available.
Whether it's a dramatic "punk" Mohawk look you are going for, or the more subtle "faux" 'hawk, these are the basic steps to take.
1. Decide how you want your hair to look. Do you want a dramatic tall mohawk with shaved sides? If so, then have your friend measure to make sure the section of hair that will remain long is evenly centered at the top. Cut, and then shave the sides of your head.
2. If a more subtle look is what you want, if you have short hair, a slight cutting of the sides is all you need to create a Mohawk look without the extremeness of shaving the sides. This is the popular with hipsters "fauxhawk" look, achieved mostly with styling.
Styling – tall mohawk
1. There are two steps to styling your tall Mohawk. First, buy a heavy duty spiking gel, such as, and extreme hold hairspray
2. Smooth gel evenly throughout hair, and then
Styling – short Mohawk
1. Squeeze a quarter-size dollop of gel into your hand.
2. Using both hands, work the gel into your short 'hawk, starting from the sides and bringing your hands up to meet at the tip of your hair, above your head. This will create the short centered Mohawk look.
3. Other ideas for what to use to spike your Mohawk: throughout the years, people have used all sorts of things. Punks in the 1970's used to use raw egg to spike their hair into tall Mohawks. They also used laundry starch, and sometimes a flour-water-starch paste.
Mohawks are very in right now, particularly short ones. Lots of young actors in Hollywood sport Mohawks – when they're not working on a movie.
If you aren't looking to cut your hair, and you just want to go for the big spike look, there are ways to achieve it that don't involve any cutting at all.
First, be realistic. If your hair is much past your shoulders, you are probably not going to be able to get it to stand up. But if it's moderate length, with a little work it should be no problem.
1. You will need some super hold hair gel, some super hold hairspray, and a blow dryer (preferably with a diffuser attachment). You may also want to get a friend to help you.
2. Start with damp to dry hair. Make sure the hair isn't wet or it will wilt.
3. Section your hair into the desired spike portions, and apply the gel. Make sure it goes all the way to the root of the hair. If your spike is week at the root, the whole thing might flop!
4. As you apply gel to each section, hold it out and blow dry lightly. The diffuser attachment will keep your hair from flying around. After that, apply hairspray liberally.
5. Repeat until all the desired hair is spiked. This should complete your spiked hair look!
Good luck!

Sony Vaio Laptop Not Finding any Wireless Networks!
Good morning.
I have a Sony Vaio laptop that hasn't had a single issue connecting to our home wireless network. Yesterday morning it wouldn't connect. I noticed that the "Wireless LAN" switch on the front of the notebook doesn't seem to be working. When I switch it off and then on, the light does not come on. Also when I used to check for other available networks, I would always find at least 6 in my neighborhood, now it shows that nothing is available.
Can anyone help??
Thanks in advance!
I am having exactly the same problem with my Sony Vaio laptop. Help also, please.
I solved my problem. I discovered a switch on the front of the laptop that shuts down the wireless. Simple. Bad location.
a fix for you poblem
well i have had the same problem and this is the fix your wireless switch. it has broken the connection it will cost u about 56 dollars and its easy to install call sony you can find the number very easy online tell them its a sony vaio vgn-fj270 and tell them you need the off and on wireless switch located at the front of the palm rest it will also have pro magic gate as well and led led lights its cheap and easy to install that will fix the problem after you install the chip you will have all your wireless networks back you will how ever have to take the top casing and keyboard off but if you have any questions let me know its simple
"I have a Sony Vaio laptop that hasn't had a single issue connecting to our home wireless network. Yesterday morning it wouldn't connect.

Also when I used to check for other available networks, I would always find at least 6 in my neighborhood, now it shows that nothing is available."
I know this is an old problem, but my answer may help someone else out.
I had the exact same problem and looked at the Vaio support page which told me to double click on the VAIO Smart Network icon in the taskbar (to me this icon looks like grey arrows split in half sideways) and make sure the box next to WLAN has the little green square, mine had somehow moved to the LAN box instead.
My Wireless LAN switch is now lit and I can once again view the other available networks and use my laptop wirelessly.
wireles problem
hello, two months ago I bought my sony VAIO NS-140E notebook in America, and ewerithing was OK, but yesterday is something broke with wireles switcher....before when wiffi was enabe the led light signalized with green colour, but today when I switch on the switcher the light is off and wiffi can not find any connection. But wiffi in my phone can find many conections. Now Im at home in Slovakia, nobody here wants to help me becouse they are unaware of VAIO, the nearest service in Europe is in France and its more than 2000km from Slovakia
Please help me somebody
The FIX... a simple click of the mouse!
Like Carlton710 said above, it is a simple fix. I had this problem this week after having a Vaio VGN-C series for over three years now. I never had this problem before, but my toddler hit some keys on the computer one day and the next day my wireless internet wouldn't detect anything. There are several different posts online on how to fix it, including redownloading drivers, or simply turning the switch on on the front or side of your computer.
The real answer is much easier. For some reason, Vaio put this link in the quick launch bar on the bottom right of your screen (You know all those anoying little things that you never use!?! ). Just click on the green box that has LAN in small print and check the box for wireless internet and you are good to go. There was no need to restart the computer or anything. I looked forever trying to find a solution to this and it is a simple fix. I hope this helps someone else out there who got as frustrated as me about this weird feature.
Here is a screen shot of what it looks like on my Vaio VGN-C190G:
What program is that in the icon? I don't recognize it.
possible fix...
Had this same problem and wasted lots of time trying to figure out what was wrong.
If anyone else isn't getting any wireless networks to connect to. Check these items:
1) On the front edge of the laptop, is the wireless switch turned on? If not, switch it on.
2) If it's on, is the little light to the right of it on/green? If so, you're all set. If there's no light, continue...
3) Right click the connections icon in the system tray, and select
"Open Network and Sharing Center"
4) Click "Change Adapter Settings"
5) Find and select your network adapter
6) If it is disabled, click in the menu bar above it to enable it
Sorry, I had screenshots to post but the forum rules wouldn't let me until I have made 5 posts or more. Weird rule.
Anyway, that should do it.
Good luck.
you install the chip you will have all your wireless networks back you will how ever have to take the top casing and keyboard off but if you have any questions let me know its simple
VAIO network not working
I am using VAIO model pcg-6n6p for the past 5 years and suddenly the wireless network ( even lan ) stop working. The green led on (wireless switch on) and even i tried the icon and checked the wireless box as mentioned in this discussion group. Is there a possibility that my network going bad? Any help.
Can any one help me in solving this problem. I have VAIO model pcg-6n6p and the wireless switch on and green led glows. Lan or wireless not finding any network. I checked all the method using window xp and reports that there is some problem with the local setting and asked to check with the vender. Before I go the the Sony cervice, I would like to know whether my network controller gone bad and how to check it
Thanks in advance
Sony Vaio not seeing wireless networks (me too!)
I have a Sony Vaio VGN C19OG that, after years of working fine, stopped. It can't see wireless networks, not even when I have it within 4 feet of a wireless router. Here is what I've tried.
- I've gone into Safe Mode and reinstalled the drivers for the network and wireless network
- I've deleted the network and wireless network configurations, then let it recreate them.
- The front WLAN switch is set to ON and a "WLAN" light shows above the keyboard.
- I've disabled the wireless network and tried connecting with a network cable, but it said it was unplugged and wouldn't give me any network connection.
- I've refreshed my IP addresses.
- I get a pop up that says the computer has found wireless networks, but when I click on the bubble I see nothing.
- I went to the diagnostic site and clicked through the various choices that was supposed to diagnose the problem.
Still I get the message that the network cable is unplugged and the network shows an "X" for the configuration and doesn't see any networks.

Opposition parties in Andhra Pradesh cry betrayal over Telangana issue
Some Congress leaders were also critical of the statements in Delhi by Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and AICC general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad that the "consultation process" (on the Telangana demand) would continue and a final decision on it may take a little more time.
Effectively, the Union Home Minister's "deadline" for announcing the Centre's decision on the statehood issue ends tomorrow, but his statement, coupled with that of Azad, came hours ahead and left many "disappointed".
"This is nothing but putting off the Telangana issue permanently," Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) MLA T Harish Rao fumed.
The Congress has betrayed people of the region yet again, he said adding that they would now carry the statehood struggle forward by primarily targeting the Congress ministers and other leaders from the region.
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) senior leader Motkupalli Narasimhulu noted that Azad and Shinde's statements only made it clear that the Congress would not grant statehood to Telangana. "People will not accept their statements. There is no need for further talks on the issue," he said.
BJP state president G Kishan Reddy called upon people to "see the end" of Congress, while CPI state secretary K Narayana termed the Congress duo's statements as "suicidal".
"Their claims amount to insulting all the political parties in the state and the entire political system as well. Looks like the Congress will not sleep till Andhra Pradesh is fully burnt," Narayana lashed out.
The flip-flops would spell doom for the Congress in all regions of the state, he warned.
Congress MP Gutta Sukhender Reddy dubbed Azad and Shinde's statements as "meaningless" and asserted that the delay in taking a decision on the statehood issue would do no good for the party.

The government's retirement wave is a chance to rewrite supervisory roles
A recent report by the Merit Systems Protection Board, called "As Supervisors Retire: An Opportunity to Reshape Organizations," starts with a fact that is obvious once you think about it: Because supervisors are older than the average federal employee, they are closer to retirement than the workforce as a whole.
However, the report goes on to make a significant point: The government's current retirement wave should be seen as an opportunity to revitalize the supervisory function.
This is worth serious consideration. Several years ago, two of my students interviewed two groups of Harvard alumni, one from the Kennedy School for Government who were working for the federal government, and another from Harvard Business School who were working at Fortune 500 companies. They asked both groups about their job experiences. By far, the most dramatic difference in their responses related to the quality of first-line supervision. Those working in industry said they had great supervisors, while the ones working in government typically thought their supervisors micromanaged or ignored them.
Another group of students conducted research at several agencies and found that the quality of a team's work, as rated by the second-line supervisor, was dramatically higher for teams that gave high ratings to their first-line supervisors than for ones that gave the supervisors low ratings. The researchers also found that the best predictors of a high rating of one's first-line supervisor were the employee's views of the supervisor's mentoring and teaching skills.
Following the same line of thinking, the Merit Systems Protection Board argues that as the workforce becomes increasingly knowledge-based, supervisors need to move away from the traditional skills of dividing up assignments or proofreading written work. To quote the report, we need supervisors "who can instill pride in work by emphasizing the importance of assigned projects and showing how the work is important and relates to organizational goals" and by creating opportunities for "employees to be innovative and demonstrate creativity." That differs from the traditional job description for supervisors.
Furthermore, if the Obama administration is to succeed in its effort to use performance measurement to improve agency performance and not simply as a paperwork drill between agency staff members and the Office of Management and Budget, supervisors must be enlisted to use performance measures on a daily basis to help them improve work-unit performance. The administration should be looking for ways to directly engage first-line supervisors in that effort. A good first step would be creating a governmentwide forum with supervisor reps from each agency to give the issue visibility and generate ideas for achieving those goals.
The report also presents an interesting piece of data from a 2007 survey: The larger the number of employees a supervisor was responsible for, the less time he or she spent making strategic hiring decisions or developing employee capabilities. That is a "hidden 'cost' of assigning more employees to a supervisor than can be effectively managed," the report states.
The board is right: Supervision is crucial to agency success, and we shouldn't miss this opportunity to reshape organizations.

The article clearly identifies a critical fact. However, it is not as Mr. Bodner states, about the "job or work". As someone who has worked in both environments I can attest that the real factor is that every corporation that I worked for had a comprehensive management development program. Regardless of the demands of the position, attendance was mandatory upon designation as a supervisor. This reflects the organizations acknowledgement of the importance of people, and the successful management of same, to the success of the organization. The Government needs to focus on this critical dimension to ensure its future success and effectiveness. Rather than be concerned about graduate level training, there needs to be a central(to ensure that everyone gets the same information and emphasis) training academy, because individual agencies don't adhere to the same training regimens. The impact would transform the Government.
Supervisers in government are bad; supervisors in private industry are great. If the difference is that stark, I would look at the differences in the two environments (e.g. the work itself) rather than in the supervisors. What are the Kennedy students in private industry doing as opposed to the students who have gone on to government?
So many of them need to go! They won't work on the computer, they won't learn critical programs, they delegate everything, have memory problems, ... and keep collecting their GS 13 check! And, they rubbing it in that they can retire anytime!

Cheats and Walkthroughs(81)
What are you afraid of? I don't mean "oh, well, spiders creep me out." No, I'm talking about the kind of fear that, when applied under the right conditions, can psychologically cripple you. It's the kind of fear one acutely remembers having as a child, back when everything, it seemed, was absolutely real. Especially if an adult said so. I'm a 25-year-old semi-adult who can't walk into the woods in the dark because, years later, I can't seem to get over my experience with the movie The Blair Witch Project.
Alan Wake isn't helping.
Fear is a funny emotion. Who, honestly, would purposely and repeatedly seek out something that terrifies them? And yet I'm compelled, on a regular basis, to seek entertainment that elicits such a response. I've since concluded that there's nothing quite like being scared in a controlled environment, like a movie or a video game. In the moment, the horror is pure adrenaline, visceral and unrelenting, but buried in the back of your head, you know that it's not real; it makes you feel alive.
Fear works best when it's working with existing emotional material. It's an emotional multiplier. To someone who doesn't mind spiders, Arachnaphobia is just another thriller, perhaps creepier than your average flick. To someone with a deep-seated fear of eight-leggers, however, it's a completely different story, a realized nightmare. In that scenario, it would take someone with a certain penchant for perpetuating masochism to seek out and watch that movie. I don't have a problem with spiders, but I do have a problem with the woods, especially ones set in the dead of night, full of alleged supernatural spooks.
Sounds a bit like Alan Wake, doesn't it? Alan Wake, as I soon discovered after popping the disc in, preys on my darkest fears.
Maybe I should explain the reason The Blair Witch Project had, and continues to have, such a profound impact on me, the best that I understand it. The Blair Witch Project was released in 1999. I was in eighth grade. The movie's credited with laying the groundwork for the now-regular marketing tactic of viral marketing. The Blair Witch Project was marketed as something real, a collection of tapes found by three kids who went into the woods and never came back. There were supporting "documentaries" made to back up these claims. To an ordinary person, they may eventually come to the conclusion even Hollywood wasn't in the business of selling tickets to a documented murder by an alleged witch.
Well, I was in eighth grade. It doesn't matter if it was real, it was scary as hell, set in an environment not exactly foreign to me in the Midwest and that's all the "real" that was needed to invade my mind.
The Blair Witch Project cost me almost an entire summer of late night sleep. I'd find ways to stay awake until the sun would finally poke out its head, finally putting the night to rest. What freaked me out about The Blair Witch Project wasn't what appeared on the screen but off -- specifically, it was the ingenius use of off-camera audio engineering to create skin-crawling, unknowable dread. My bedroom window faced the backyard and because my parents refused to pay to keep the A/C on all night, the window needed to stay open to help keep the house cool. That cracked window was also an open door for outside noises to worm their way into my head and refuse to leave. Just as sleep would be approaching, a squirrel would cross our backyard, snap a twig and turn my body morbidly stiff.
I say this while acknowledging The Blair Witch Project remains one of my favorites, a film that introduced me to the power of movies and, I'm guessing, laid the groundwork for loving horror.
Which brings me back to Alan Wake, a video game which I doubt had very little influence from The Blair Witch Project, but it shares two very distinct things in common with the indie horror flick: a supernatural forest where most things are hidden in darkness and terrifying audio work. Those elements are keyed into my lingering emotions from The Blair Witch Project, so it's not hard to imagine how Alan Wake might affect me at night, alone, a little buzzed, the in-game forest swirling with invisible rage and noises. Remedy Entertainment clearly spent an extraordinary amount of time ensuring the presentation in Alan Wake was top-notch and when they want to ratchet up the tension, it hits me ten-fold.
Alan Wake won't have the same impact on everyone. My fears are unique, but it speaks to the profound ability for fear to multiply, spread like a disease. When something in Alan Wake reminds of The Blair Witch Project, my mind quickly flashes back to that summer, the moments in the movie that struck hardest -- hearing one of the kids scream in the woods, supposedly being tortured by the witch -- and I tense up everywhere. The controller drips intently with sweat, my eyes dart around the room and I try to invent a reason to pause the game and load Facebook for a moment of visual distraction.
Playing Alan Wake means re-opening a barely-scabbed wound in my emotional fabric, one I'm consciously aware remains relentlessly irrational in the face of semi-adult logic, but I do it.
And I love it.

Mark Hall-Patton, Museum Administrator and guest expert of "Pawn Stars" fame, will be on hand to sign his book, Asphalt Memories. Copies are available through the museum store, and all sales benefit the museum.
Additionally, from 3-4 p.m., participants will be invited to network in a Meet and Greet, under the Gazebo. Registrations open April 1, 2011. The event is limited to 90 participants. To register, call the Clark County Museum Guild at (702-455-0104) or e-mail: [email protected]

Fun Features Found In Foreclosures – One Of The Iconic Mid Century Modern Homes Of Las Vegas
April 20th, 2011 Categories: Fun Features Found In Foreclosures, Mid Century Modern
When it comes to Mid Century Modern Homes in the Historic Neighborhoods Of Las Vegas…..
You can't beat the new one that was listed today. I've been watching and waiting for it for several months now.
I'm on my way to see it now, but the pictures in the MLS do tell the story. And – the agent actually took good pictures!
It's had the kitchens and bathrooms gutted, so there's no way for it to go to anyone who doesn't have some big bucks left over after the purchase. I really want this to go to a true Mid Century Modern affectionado.
At $154,900 there's bound to be a bidding war! I fear it falling into the hands of someone who thinks it should become "summerlinized". Send a Text or email or call me if you want the address. 378–7055 [email protected]
More about it tomorrow!

Paradise Palms Las Vegas – The Mid Century Modern Master Planned Community
April 20th, 2011 Categories: Las Vegas Real Estate News
Last year, I uncovered some of the newsletters, and parts of the sales brochures from the Mid Century Modern Neighborhood of Paradise Palms.
I'm most happy to now be able to pass on the covers from the sales brochures, thanks to Clay Heximer, who does the Paradise Palms Las Vegas website and the Paradise Palms Facebook Fan Page
Where were they hiding all these years? At UNLV Special Collections. They had a copy, naturally. The Special Collections has a vast archive of Las Vegas history. It should always be the first place that people turn to who are researching Las Vegas History.
Here's one of the inside covers. I would think there would be another inside back cover as well.
The Paradise Palms Home Owners Association Is No Longer In Existance
In the early 70's, the Paradise Palms Community voted to abolish the homeowner's association. I've been told that it happened both in 73 and 74.
With the HOA defunt, the community park was closed and the land was re-developed for the last homes to be built in Paradise Palms. Those homes are distinctly different and have the feel of the 70's and 80's. You can find them on the south side of Nakona, just west of Spencer.

The Changing Face Of Vintage Las Vegas – The Flamingo Arroyo Trail
April 19th, 2011 Categories: Las Vegas Real Estate News
Vintage Las Vegas is the center urban core of Las Vegas. It's not just downtown where we find the historic neighborhoods or the Mid Century Modern Homes of the 50's and 60's. The Flamingo wash cuts thru many of the great historic neighborhoods of the southeast part of Vintage Vegas. The first of several trailheads and parking lots are now open to the public.
The project a 2.5 million dollar public works project which will eventually run from the UNLV campus all the way to wetlands park.
In Paradise Township we have a terrific new feature. It's the Flamingo Arroyo Trail. (There's an old real estate joke that says if you're selling it, it's an arroyo, and if you're buying it – it's a wash). The new trail head is finished on Pecos-McLeod at Emerson, and this last week the pedestrian bridges over Desert Inn Road at Mohave were installed.
The project a 2.5 million dollar public works project which will eventually run from the UNLV campus all the way to wetlands park.
The trailhead on Pecos-Mcleod features several shelters as public art, signage and was built with lots of the rubble from the stardust. This is a big chunk of the steps from the swimming pool with it's still embedded tile work. The graffiti was not there when it was part of the Stardust. I called Clark County, and hopefully the graffiti will be gone when you get there to see the Flamingo Arroyo Trailhead for yourself.
The Las Vegas Weekly featured one of the shelters in February in their Art Along The Way page.
I happened by as the 3rd segment arrived by truck. I waited around as long as I could to see it being craned into place, but I had to leave before it happened.
Desert Inn Road will always provide a reminder that it's time to park the car and take a nice walk along the arroyo.
While the weather is still nice, take a walk and check out the view from the new bridges over Desert Inn Road.
Hopefully I've broken the logjam at VeryVintageVegas, and are back to blogging regularly about the Historic Neighborhoods, Mid Century Modern Homes and Urban Las Vegas Living.
You can't imagine how good that makes me feel. It's about time.

Let's Make A Deal – City of Las Vegas Residents
April 4th, 2011 Categories: Las Vegas Real Estate News
I'll start blogging again if you'll…….
VOTE APRIL 5 for CHRIS GIUNCHIGLIANI FOR MAYOR, and STEVE EVANS FOR CITY COUNCIL WARD 3
Only half of the expected votes were cast in early voting. I've got plenty of good excuses for having been such a poor blogger lately, but there's no excuse for not voting Tuesday if you haven't already.
I've known both Chris and Steve for many years. They're both neighbors and friends of mine. More importantly, they're both committed to bringing years of EXPERIENCE and DEDICATION to making Las Vegas better.
They've both proven themselves over and over again as hard-working, intelligent and sincere. They've proven it to me and to anyone who looks at their records.
I may not have kept my promise to endorse them on my blog (till now) but I know they'll keep their promise to help rebuild both the well known historic neighborhoods as well as the forgotten neighborhoods.
Please – if you haven't voted yet – GO TO YOUR POLLING PLACE on Tuesday and cast your vote for Steve Evans for Ward 3 and Chris Giunchigliani for Mayor of Las Vegas.

Skip to comments.Live Thread: Republican Presidential Debate in Jacksonville, FL on CNN 8 P.M. EST
Posted on 01/26/2012 3:56:03 PM PST by kristinn
Hosted by Wolf Blitzer at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. Candidates: Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul.
Word is the audience will be "allowed" to participate.
Livestream here.
"To me he is the best of a rather mediocre lot, and that's about it."
I agree. He's a great thinker, but wildly unreliable. Of course, compared to the Boy Scout, the CEO of snail-oil inc. and the blathering old man... he's the best of a bad lot.
Thanks again, Sarah. This is YOUR FAULT.
I think Newt did alright. I think Romney came off looking like a complete jerk. And I think Santorum completely destroyed him. Santorum may have won this for newt tonight. Even a blind man could see that Romney is a slimeball.
Send magic underwear
Amen. What an answer! Not to diminish Newt's answer in the least, but Santorum drew a line the sand and made it clear that he understands without a doubt that government doesn't grant us rights, God does. Wow!
Santorum has been very impressive tonight.
Santorum is able to coast because NO ONE is gunning for him tonight. If he were getting slammed, he'd tense right up and be a wooden candidate.
OMG you owe me a keyboard.
If you want to SUPPORT ROMNEY, get the heck off of FR.
Santorum ver good tonight. Strong on South America and minimum whine in his voice. A fine man.
Newt and Rick are both good tonight. Good response on the Religions faith issue, Newt was better.
Well done Mr. Santorum!!!
"Mitt had his best debate tonight. Hell make a fine President. Sorry..."
"Sorry" sums up that blurb.
He has michele bachmann's debate coach.
[Mitt had his best debate tonight. Hell make a fine President. Sorry...]
Romney will NEVER be President. Obama will beat him in a landslide!
Romney is evidently very good at memorizing a script ... same canned campaign speech/points all the time.
Absolutely sick. I love it.
Santorum just fundamentally (pun intended) explained conservatism. We believe in GOD GIVEN rights . NOT state given rights "what government gives to you, it can also take away."
Finally, in the FINAL question, a question about beating Obama. Sheesh.
Oh wow, color me embarrassed. Her accent was so thick I thought she said - I am a Puerto Rican and I like cunnilingus.
Viva Poerto Rico, the 51st State.
LOL!!! That's great!
He'd have to get permission from his "Trusteee."
He may consult his pocket change.
Santorum has shown more passion tonight. I think his best debate in a while.
That was hilarious!
Yep. I smell ozone.
Rick is having his best night ever, but you are 100% correct.
______________________________________ No fan of Myth, but I agree. He really seemed to show real passion concerning the Jewish State and people.
As much as it hurts to admit this, being a fierce Romney critic, I also feel compelled to give credit where credit is due - on this point.
Romney says I am best qualified because some weirdo named Matt Drudge endorsed me.
Honey....is that you? ;-)
I don't understand your animosity towards Rick Santorum.
How will you feel when Newt chooses him as a running mate?
"Agree but the take away line was the one by Newt."
You got that right!
Go Newt!
I already early voted for Newt yesterday. I remain confident.
Best quote of thread.
I don't see anyone being the beneficiary of this worthless debate . Including me , the viewer .
If Romney or Obama is not the next president I will be a lot more hopeful.
My guess would be water. He seems to get hoarse easily.
When nature calls, it must be answered!
Mitt sum up stump speech, total failure.
Romney didn't understand the final question.
...or couldn't answer it.
Newt looks like he wants to punch Mittens.
Say what you will about Ron Paul, he does answer questions honestly.
Let's see if the Puerto Ricans want to start paying income taxes.
Exactly, great answers. Home run answers.
Paul gave nearly secular view religion shouldn't effect how one thinks.
Mittens was condescending, and gave the juke box robotic press religion button question.
I'll support Newt if he's the nominee. I'd even vote for him in the primary. Again, anybody but Obama. Obama is pursuing and working for policies I consider inimical to the best interest of us all. Anybody but Obama!
omg!!!! him and that private sector answer !!! God
I've got Newt's answer how he would beat Obama. Lets see him say it.
Mitten's but you're the Establishment candidate. You're status quo.
An outsider is not going to change washington. No way. This is the big leagues and Romney isn't.

Snowpack jumps 10% in a week
Laramie, WY – Wyoming snowpack levels jumped 10 percent over the past week thanks to spring snowstorms moving across the state.
The Casper office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service
reported Tuesday that the amount of water stored in Wyoming
snowpack is at 97 percent of average. That's up from 87 percent
last week.
Water officials say spring storms are critical to the state's
water supply.
The Little Snake River drainage in south-central Wyoming and the
Powder-Tongue drainage in northern Wyoming have the highest
snowpack at 112 percent of average.
The Lower Green River basin of southwest Wyoming has the lowest
snowpack at 79 percent of average, but that's up 11 percent from
last week.

Simple, hearty bread with oats for cold weather
Posted on 16. Feb, 2012 by virtuousbread.
The Eastern, or Atlantic provinces of Canada were settled by Scots and Irish looking for a brighter future. They brought many of their customs and traditions from food to music - indeed there are still some gallic speaking communities in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. This bread most certainly has celtic origins. If the oats […]

The silver bullet for corporate innovation strategy is trust
Posted on 12. Sep, 2011 by virtuousbread.
Developing a corporate innovation strategy is the current fixation of many CEOs as they try to pull their organisations out of the crisis. Hiring innovation specialists, kicking off an "innovation programme" or employing creativity coaches are not, in and of themselves, going to help companies win. In order to innovate people must feel comfortable, and […]

Rumor Patrol: Joe Jonas Sex Tape, Khloe Kardashian Cheating, More
You can't go one week without hearing a ridiculous story involving some of your favorite celebrities. Thankfully, the Starpulse Rumor Patrol is here to sort out what's real and what's fake.
Joe Jonas made a sex tape, and it will be released in April. The Jonas Brothers star and his gorgeous Swiss model girlfriend Blanda Eggenschwiler not only made a homemade porno, it also included some raunchy S&M action. Salacious!
Verdict: False. The singer's rep said the rumor is "completely false," and Jonas wrote on Twitter: "ball gag? really? me? come on guys."
