It's a youthful staff, Matt Wells acknowledged, but that doesn't mean it's not experienced.
Wells spent some time Wednesday talking about his new - and familiar - coaches who now inhabit Utah State's staff. Only two hirees so far are older than 40, but most have been around the block and know how to recruit.
"It's a good mix of experience and energy," Wells said. "The chemistry we're building here is very important."
The Aggies made their first hires outside of the program last week, and Wells had a few words for all of them.
First off: Kevin McGiven is the offensive coordinator. Wells was clear on this, saying that McGiven will be the guy when it comes to the offense. Luke Wells has "co-offensive coordinator" built into his job title, but McGiven does not.
Less clear is who exactly will be calling the plays. Matt Wells said that discussion will likely go into the spring. McGiven called plays at Montana State and for one of his seasons at Memphis.
Wells says one of the best values about his outside hires - McGiven, Wells and Mark Weber - is that they bring in experience from difference conferences. McGiven coached with Memphis in Conference USA, Luke Wells was in the Big 12 at Iowa State, and Weber has been just about everywhere.
Weber will be the senior man on staff, pending on hires at defensive coordinator and runningbacks coach. He has 34 years of experience in college football. Matt Wells said he had hired Weber before BYU announced a staffing shake-up on offense with Robert Anae's return.
"I've known Mark Weber for some time, and he's respected in the state," Wells said. "He's put guys in the NFL. He has a vast knowledge of the game, he's got toughness and fierceness, and he'll be valuable to us in many ways."
Weber has a reputation as a player's coach which should help recruiting. That was another factor that played into Wells' additions: Just about everyone remaining and brought into the staff has strong ties to recruits and had a hand in developing some top prospects. Just look at how Kevin Clune has helped bring along the linebacking corps with Bobby Wagner and three all-WAC players this season.
Frank Maile, Kendrick Shaver and Jovon Bouknight have all helped create all-WAC guys. Furthermore, they all have strong connections to the incoming class and the recruits the Aggies are still trying to bring in.
"The four guys we've retained, they're legitimate contributors to 18 wins the last two seasons," Wells said.
McGiven has ties to Louisiana (where he went to college) and Texas in recruiting. Luke Wells will be asked to recruit Texas, and use his relationships specifically in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Weber has good in-state ties from his stint at BYU. And don't doubt either of the Wells brothers when it comes to mining Oklahoma, their native state.
Added up, Utah State will likely be hitting talent-rich Texas pretty hard, but Matt Wells is also pledging to keep up recruiting in Utah, where the Aggies have landed some gems.
Wells sees some promising foundations for his group that he's put together. As spring ball and summer workouts speed ahead, the new faces at Utah State will be put to the test.
The first batch of recruits comes in this weekend. Buckle up.

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
This particular shoe runs true to size, but if your foot is wider, I would recommend ordering a half size larger to accommodate the width of your foot.- DDS Customer Service (02/08/2014)
If you would like to try these, I would recommend getting a 1/2 size up or going with a 7 and a shoe stretcher. There's very little variance between a 7 and a 71/2 in the toe box but getting an 8 would just make the shoe longer instead of wider.
I wouldn't recommend these if you have a wider ball of your foot because these are definitely narrow and the closed portion covers the entire of the ball of my foot (no toe cleavage whatsoever). If for some reason, your foot started to swell while dancing, I think these would make you uncomfortable because what little room it had to accommodate would be completely taken up.
If you still want something closed toe, I would recommend getting a Bloch or Capezio. - Noelle (01/24/2016)

TOP STORY > >Bus driver upset with sentence
Leader senior staff writer
This is bull, Robin Clark told her friends in court Monday moments after she copped a no-jail plea to drunken school bus driving and three related charges.
Little Rock Traffic Judge Vic Fleming sentenced the former Cabot school bus driver to pay a $1,300 fine, to report weekends to the Pulaski County Detention Center to perform 90 days of community service, to attend an alcohol treatment program and to surrender forever her commercial drivers license.
Little Rock Patrolman Ron Matney, Prosecutor David Howkey and Theresa Belew, executive director of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, all confirmed Clarks aside to three friends who accompanied her to court. She could have been sentenced to serve a jail term of as long as one year.
Cabot students had been attending a debate tournament at Little Rock Central High School on Oct. 27, 2007, and Clark was preparing to drive them back to Cabot around 9:30 p.m. when teachers and other drivers noticed her erratic behavior.
A teacher refused to let Clark take the wheel and the bus remained parked at LRCH, according to the Cabot School District.
Students were on the bus, but the teacher had already made the decision to not allow the driver to leave the scene. She (the teacher) contacted the police before the bus left Central High School, according to Cabot Superintendent Tony Thurman said.
A Little Rock police officer was called and performed a field sobriety test on Clark.
A district administrator transported the students back to Cabot.
Clark was taken into custody.
Once at the jail, Clark became increasingly angry and threatened to sue and have jobs of everyone involved, the report reads.
At the jail, her blood alcohol level was .073. She grabbed her ticket and attempted to destroy it, according to the prosecutor.
Her field Breathalyzer test result was .088twice the allowable limit for a commercial driver.
Clark, wearing a teal dress, pearls and high heels, refused comment to the press and her entourage ran interference with limited success in an attempt to foil photographers.
Existence of an onboard video and electronic record of bus speed and breaking information may have played a part in Clarks last- minute decision to negotiate a plea.
Thurman said he had seen the onboard videotape in question and I did feel like there was some evidence on the tape that probably had a lot to do with (her accepting) the plea.
Merged with her driving-under-the-influence charge were a charges of harassment, tampering with evidence and child endangerment.
Before imposing sentence, Fleming attempted in vain to get her to apologize, to admit her mistake and to say what she was doing to turn her life around, but she either failed to understand or refused to take responsibility for her actions.
In a mitigation or allocution statement, Im looking for something to hang my hat on (a rationalization for accepting a plea), said Fleming.
Im not hearing Im sorry I screwed up, Fleming told her. Im hearing you blame everyone else.
She told Fleming that she had one six-ounce cup of wine and two tablespoons of cough medicine four hours before she was tested and she stood by that account even though Fleming told her the math and chemistry were wrong.
He asked Clark, who had two prior DUI convictions, what she had drunk leading to her second conviction.
A beer, she said.
How much? Fleming asked.
Three or four, she said.
Are you addicted to alcohol? Fleming asked. She said she wasnt.
According to Flemings sentence, Clark will not be required to stay overnight in jail, but must report Saturdays and Sundays, more often if she wants, until her 90 days of community service is completed.
Belew said she was disappointed that Clark didnt take responsibility for her actions, but she thought the sentence was appropriate. Our big concern is always to look for these to be teachable moments, she said.
We learned a lot from this incident, said Cabot Superintendent Tony Thurman. Im glad no one was hurt and the teacher handled it well.
Shell never be an employee of the district again, he said.
Thurman said the district had worked with the state legislature to try to close loopholes that could allow drivers with DUI convictions to get or keep commercial drivers licenses.
His district now does background checks not only through the state Education Department, but also through a private consulting firm. Thats true not only for bus drivers but for volunteers in the schools.
Clark, who had had previous DUIs under other names, worked without a background check as a substitute driver for the Cabot District, and then was hired full time. Since the incident, Cabot has changed the way it checks backgrounds before hiring drivers, Belew said.
Shes an alcoholic in denial, said prosecutor Howkey.
Theres nothing more pitiful than an old drunk, he said. Theyve learned to believe their lies.
He said he hoped that the humiliation of reporting to the jail to perform community service would get Clarks attention.

Water Joe the Caffeinated Water
I found this product called water Joe that tastes like water but has caffeine in it! Better for you than energy drinks, and soda's but you still get the kick from the caffeine. Great for working late, before and during a work out, and if you want to indulge you can have an alcoholic drink with water joe ice cubes!

I just recently mounted a couple Steelhead that another taxidermist skinned out and soaked in something. I'm not sure what the fish were soaked in, but they were then put back in the freezer. I received the fish and did what I do to every trout I mount. I re fleshed them real good, removed the heads, and put them in alcohol for about a month. The fish are mounted as I said and all of the scales on the both sides of each fish are curled up pretty bad. Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem? Please?
Return to Fish Taxidermy Category Menu
take wax paper and an iron fairly low heat put the wax paper on and iron it ,, good luck
Thanks for the advice. I never tried that approach, but then again this is a first for this problem. I will give it a try tomorrow.

I shook that hand, in 1968, sort of. I was 14, and my h.s. history class got out of school to go to a place where the Nixon campaign was doing an event. Many hundreds of people, and with a kind of morbid curiosity (already a fierce Nixon hater), I reached out my hand when he came along the line. It was nothing like the firm grip he is using here on his mom (!), more a dead fish kind of grab of the fingers. His hand was clammy, and I felt pretty slimed.

A regular expression allows you to hunt for a pattern in a string. Examples:
- Is the string only made up of normal letters?
- Does the string include the @ character?
- Does a particular pattern (e.g. Fred) appear at the beginning of the string?
When you see a regular expression it can be scary but if you start at the beginning it should make sense.
JavaScript, PHP and regular expressions
JavaScript and PHP have their own way of implementing regular expressions but the expressions themselves work the same way. This page attempts to cover both but that does mean you will need to apply the regular expressions in one or other (or both) of those languages.
In JavaScript (looking for the character Z):
var someVariable='why look for the Z'; var position=someVariable.search(/Z/); if (position!=-1){ }
JavaScript has a RegExp object to use regular expressions but it is easier to use the methods built into the String object (match, search and split). Most of these examples will work with all three of those methods. Search returns -1 if there is no match.
In PHP you would do this to find the Z:
$something="why look for the Z"; if (preg_match("/Z/" , $something) { }
In addition to preg_match() PHP provides:
- preg_match_all() for matching multiple examples of patterns
- preg_replace() for replacing the matched text with something else
- preg_split() for splitting text at certain matches (perhaps tabs or commas although explode does that more easily)
- pre_grep() which tells you which array elements contain matching pattern
The actual way to use regular expressions within PHP and JavaScript are not covered here. Instead it is how to construct a regular expression which will work in either language which is important.
The above search looks for Z inside the variable. The two slashes are special characters used to mark the beginning and end of the regular expression. To use any of these examples in PHP or JavaScript paste them in to either of the example above to replace /Z/.
To check if the Z appears at the beginning of the string you use another special character (caret):
You can do the same but check if it is at the end using a dollar character:
Putting the two together would check if Z was at the beginning and at the end (meaning it was the only character):
The period (.) is used to represent any letter:
That will match "look" but also would have matched "lhok" and so on. To represent any number of letters use the *:
That will match the same as the previous example but also "looook" or "lzzzzzzzzzzzzzok".
To return to the hunt for Z and adjust the last example where Z had to be the only character:
That would match any string which began and ended with Z. There could be any number of characters between.
Escaping reserved characters
Already you will have a problem if you want to match / ^ . * $ in a string. To use those as characters in a regular expression as text (not special, reserved characters) you have to escape them as you do quotes in PHP ECHO statements (with a backslash):
That would check if a dollar sign appears anywhere in the string. This would match only if that $ was at the end of the string:
You also need to escape quotes and some other characters (including of course the \ itself if you want to treat it as a character to search for).
Sometimes you might want to look for a character repeated a number of times. You might do this by putting in the pattern ZZZ but you can also use another method:
That will match ZZZ or ZZZZ but not ZZ. This may not look useful with smaller numbers but Z{1000} would be easier than typing Z a thousand times! More likely to be useful is this:
That will match Z or ZZ or ZZZ. It is searching for between 1 and 3. Missing out the second value (e.g. {1,}) means at least 1 time but also anything more than one. Missing out the first value would match any number up to (including none) but not more than the second value.
There are also some special symbols used as quantifiers. * you met in the wildcard section. It means the previous character must can appear 0 or 1 or many times. + means 1 or many times. ? means 0 or 1 times. This duplicates the previous way to quantify but some prefer the simplicity.
Finding a range of characters
Rather than just looking for Z you could look for a choice of characters:
This will find the position of EITHER t or Z. Combine that with a quantifier and you can find any occurence of repeated characters:
That will find tt or ZZ because it is looking for two identical characters which appear together. You can also search for any lower-case letter which repeats:
That will find the double o in look. You can also search for any number using [0-9] or capitals using [A-Z].
The upright bar is used as an OR. You can search for a number of things which could match:
In this case "the" or "ven" or the others would be matched.
As well as the pattern to be matched you can include modifiers in the regular expression. These come after the final slash:
The i says to ignore case when searching. So this pattern would now match LOOOOOOK as well as all the previous matches.
A g modifier will look for all occurrences of the pattern rather than just matching the first but is not needed in PHP which does that anyway.
The m modifier allows you to search for multi-line patterns (ignoring line breaks).
Meta characters
These let you search for special things. There are many but three of the most useful might be:
- \t which finds tabs (often used to separate data read from a tab-delimited file)
- \n to find a new line character (you may need to use \r\n in Windows file data)
- \w which will match any "normal" character (a to z, A to Z, 0 to 9 and underscore)
A complex example
Often HTML forms are used to collect user email addresses (for contact forms, on-line ordering etc.). It would be worth checking if the user had put in a valid email address. Not so much to check for deliberate wrong emails but in case they make a mistake. This is one possible regular expression for checking for a valid email address:
If you saw that without knowing the above stuff it would probably make you scream! As it is you may be considering a career change. It says:
- at the start of the string must be one or more letters - ^[a-z]|[A-Z]{1,}
- after that it is OK to also have underscores, numbers, periods (escaped) or dashes (any or none) - [a-z]|[A-Z]|[0-9]|-|_|\.{0,}
- after the letters/numbers must come a @ symbol - @
- then one or more letters - [a-z]|[A-Z]{1,}
- then a dot - \.
- then at least two more letters
This will accept some non-valid addresses still but also allows for .me or .co.uk domains and similar. Some regular expressions for email checking will block anything except the original domain-dot-three letter addresses (e.g. whatever.com).
There is a briefer way to write this same code because the OR symbols (|) are not actually needed. The square brackets which include the acceptable characters can contain more than one range. So rather than [a-z]|[A-Z] you can just put [a-zA-Z]. The regular expression is now:
If that is more confusing to you then stick with the OR structure.

- check BL21 plates for transformants -- TONS of transformants! They were borderline overgrown, even in the 20μL plates. I put them in the fridge; I will start liquid cultures sometime this afternoon.
- make D, E, F liquid cultures in LB Kan from each plate (assuming possible) -- Did this at 8PM; I chose 3 colonies from each of the 3 plates (20μL BAMT, SAMT, and BSMT), and cultured them in 9 tubes. I put them near the center of the rotating tube holder in the 37 degree room (for whoever comes in tomorrow...they're labeled with what they contain + VV + 6/17...it's hard to miss them :))
- put in 37c room with shaking for about 16 hours -- so...noon-ish sunday

With fragmentation comes complexity. And with complexity comes an appreciable amount of misguided perspective, including sweeping statements about tactics and technologies that derail smart approaches in digital marketing.
The decision to use or not use responsive design is one of the more recent debates where the facts are getting swept under the rug. So we wanted to bring some clarity to how brands should approach this important choice.
Quick refresh:
Responsive Web Design (RWD) is a web design approach aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience across a wide range of devices (from smartphones to tablets to desktops). A site with RWD adapts the layout to the viewing environment by using fluid, proportion-based grids, flexible images, and CSS3.
Thanks Wikipedia! In short, your site's design—and it's content—responds to the user's device.
SEO & Responsive Design: Perception
Here's a sampling of what we've heard in clients' hallways and some industry conferences:
- "Google prioritizes sites that have responsive design."
- "Your site will not be found in Google unless it's responsive."
SEO & Responsive Design: Reality
This is not true. (more…)

Does Publicize Post When Updating Edits on WordPress
I have Jetpack installed on my WordPress.org blog and want to install Publicize. I understand that Publicize does not publish to social media each time I save a draft, and I can edit where Publicize connects to when Publishing a new post –
But what happens when I edit/Update a Post? Will Publicize repeat the posting on Social media automatically?
Would I have to remember to edit Publicize every time I update an edit to stop it doing something at linked Social media pages?

Webb, T. L. and Sheeran, P. (2004) Identifying good opportunities to act: implementation intentions and cue discrimination. European Journal of Social Psychology, 34 (4). p. 407. ISSN 0046-2772
Forming an implementation intention (If I encounter situation X, then I'll perform behaviour Y!) is thought to increase the likelihood that the person will detect a good opportunity to act. Experiment 1 found support for this hypothesis in a novel context where detection of the specified cue was very difficult. Experiments 2 and 3 extended existing paradigms to test whether this improved cue detection has costs in terms of increased false positives and/or slower responses to ambiguous stimuli. This hypothesis was not supported. Forming an implementation intention led to more accurate (Experiment 2) and faster (Experiment 3) responses to the specified cue without compromising responses to non-relevant, or ambiguous, stimuli. Overall, the findings suggest that forming an implementation intention is an effective self-regulatory tool because the specified cues are discriminated swiftly and with precision.

This is it. Or maybe not, perhaps. But on Friday, Hillary Clinton leaves the State Department, topping off a resume that also includes first lady, U.S. senator and online meme generator. But Clinton's online persona wasn't always so healthy.
Back in January 2007, if you recall, Clinton announced her presidential ambitions via YouTube. "Let the conversation begin," she beckoned, inviting America to join her for upcoming live online video chats. Two months later that video brought a much more popular rebuttal, a remix really, as Blue State Digital's Phil de Vellis inserted Clinton's words into Apple's Orwellian "Think Different" commercial and thus the viral pro-Obama video "Vote Different" took form. "This ad was not the first citizen ad, and it will not be the last," de Vellis proclaimed to the Huffington Post at the time. "The game has changed."
Fast forward to more recent history and things have changed again. "We didn't have Tumblr and Twitter and these avenues where really anyone can kind of create something that goes viral and becomes popular in a really short time," explained Buzzfeed's Hillary Reinsberg, who has covered the other Hillary for the Web-savvy news site.
One of those viral sites was TextsfromHillary.com, created by Stacy Lambe and Adam Smith, imagining what Clinton might say to Anthony Weiner, Lady Gaga or a lame-joke-telling Joe Biden. "A lot of that had to do with it just being a really great photo," Reinsberg pointed out, noting that other popular Clinton moments online include the secretary of state dancing and drinking beer in Colombia and donning goofy purple and green cat eye sunglasses during a swearing-in ceremony. "She's done things like that," Reinsberg said. "Of course that's going to go viral on the Internet, how could it not? It's just fun."
Going forward, Clinton could continue to stay relevant by launching her own Twitter account or Facebook page. "The thing about these Internet phenomenons is they don't last forever," Reinsberg said.

Disc Weights: 165
Review: I recently bought this disc, after losing my Innova Aviar. At first, I had been planning to buy a champion Aviar, but I happened to pick up the Magnet, and notice that it felt almost the same, if not better. I've only been using it for about two weeks, but it's definitely one of the better putters I've used. I haven't had much luck with approach shots, but my putting has become at least 2 times better. It's only 165, but it really loses air fast, which causes it to drop right into the basket. If you're looking to try out a different putter, I'd really look into getting this disc.

The Z-Magnet is the toughest of the Magnet family. The disc is more overstable and glides a bit less than the Pro-D Magnet/Soft Magnet but with a similar flight shape (straight then slight left fade). The closest comparison I can think of is a heavy Elite-X Challenger. The main difference between the Z-Magnet, the Challenger and the other Magnets seems to be in the feel - for me, this disc is barely a putter and more like a midrange in feel. It is rigid and hefty and feels unstoppable when thrown hard (mine's a 175g thug which doesn't help). Despite this, it actually putts as well as any other hard putter I've used and I've noticed no increase in bounce-outs when using it. The toughness and overstability pays off when thrown hard or in the wind though as the disc is quite resistant to turnover for a putter and very steady. Because of this, I tend to use it more for upshots or forehand/sidearm shots at close range. I've always been a fan of Magne! ts (and Soft Magnets) but I found they changed in 3 distinct steps (quite overstable when brand new, to straight and steady for most of their life then to slightly understable from then on) as they got worn and the change could be quite dramatic (in one shot was the worst case for me!). Somehow, I don't think this will be the case with the Z-Magnet making it a very welcome and long-overdue addition to the Magnet family (and my bag!).

2004, Vol. 1, No. 2
Message from the President:
The Way I See It
D. Klaus,
President and Professor of Intercultural Leadership
at Assemblies
of God Theological Seminary
Printer Friendly
Version (PDF,Download
The study of leadership is a massive industry in our
nation. As with many current "hot topics," the
popular culture that pervades our world has great influence
on the subject of leadership. An example might be the "free
gift" sent to me recently entitled the Leadership
Secrets of Santa Claus.
Parallel to the growth industry of leadership studies
is the decline of the respect for leaders in general.
Whether disgust is targeted at Enron, MCI, Arthur P.
Andersen or Catholic priests, the result can be seen
in the increasing number of Christian leaders who struggle
for the human and spiritual resources to navigate their
assignment effectively.
We do not work as leaders in the church with a static
reference point. The Church itself and the realities
of the world the churches serve are increasingly complex.
Pundits rush to describe these new realities and prescribe
formulas for effectiveness. We must be careful to avoid
the dilemma described by 1960s political activist Paulo
Freire when he said, "If to be is to be like,
then to be is to be like the oppressor." In
other words, if you are limited to the models of leadership
that are most conveniently observed, you may lead like
those models observed, only in their most destructive
The quest for power (the potential for influence) is
central to consideration in any model of leadership.
As Christian leaders, it is not enough to acquire professional
skill or even biblical knowledge. Our task is to replicate
in character, purpose and motivation the ministry of
Jesus Christ. Skills are necessary and knowledge is foundational,
but Christian leadership also requires connectedness
to the redemptive mission of Jesus Christ to stay centered
on efforts that have eternal consequences.
While we must engage leadership perspectives from Harvard
Business Review to the Leadership Secrets of
Santa Claus (that is from the serious to the popular),
a steadfast reference point must remain the awareness
of the mission of Jesus Christ recorded for us in Scripture
and continuously empowered to this day by the Holy
Spirit. The equation of leadership inevitably requires
skill and knowledge, but for the Christian skill and
knowledge can never be separate from connection to
the present tense of Jesus and His redemptive mission,
guaranteed by Pentecost.

"Well arranged and produced contemporary rock music with the sounds of The Who and The Smithereens." - Rootstime
Past News ReleasesRSS
Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) September 17, 2013
Third Of Never releases their latest album, "Downrising," in the summer of 2013. The band embraces their influences—The Who, R.E.M., The Smithereens, 13th Floor Elevators, and The Kinks--creating an album that conveys a "surrealistic psychedelia." "Downrising" continues a lyrical story that began with their debut album, "Moodring." Third Of Never is Jon Dawson (Guitars, Percussion, Keyboards), CJ Grogan (Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards), Vince Grogan (Bass), Mike Polilli (Drums), and Kurt Reil (Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards).
Third Of Never's sound will naturally appeal to fans of The Who, R.E.M., and Guided By Voices. However, the band took a new approach to the music on "Downrising" in order to distinguish the new album's sound from that of their first release. Dawson states, "The intent was to, if possible, not repeat one single note from the "Moodring "album, except for a few D chords; I think we accomplished that. Instead of piling on and trying to make this album bigger, the idea was to strip things down a bit while remaining fully clothed."
"Downrising" was primarily recorded at House of Vibes in Highland Park, New Jersey, and features performances by John 'Rabbit' Bundrick (The Who, Bob Marley, David Gilmour, Roger Waters) and Dennis Diken (The Smithereens). Brundrick also co-wrote "Green Roses" and "On My Way" with Dawson, Grogan, and Reil. The album was produced by Kurt Reil with Jon Dawson and CJ Grogan, and mixed and mastered by Kurt Reil.

Some incredible footage from the BBC of a huge side of a glacier collapsing dangerously close to some arctic explorers.
The video is pretty cool, but I also tried to piece together a few shots from the video to give you a better sense of the scene – the shot below worked otu pretty well. This before the collapse. Right before.
This is right after the collapse is about to finish – note the same peak at the top center of both photos, but the big right chunk is now gone.

Did you verify that the patched build of htmerge is also identical to the
unpatched htmerge? If only the Retriever class is affected by your patch,
then htmerge should also be unchanged. I ask this because it is htmerge
which generates the db.words.db database on which htsearch seems to be
choking. Have you also made absolutely sure that htmerge has run to
completion before you attempt an htsearch? Are results consistent if
you wipe out the database and rebuild it from scratch, using your patched
htdig and either htmerge binary? Just a few things to try out this
weekend. I'll check in on Monday.
P.S., Peter, your return address looks OK now.

Total Western
Mob enforcer Gérard (Samuel Le Bihan) is the only survivor of a shoot-out during an otherwise routine drug exchange with another gang. Left holding the drugs and the cash, he realizes he's got to get out of town and so takes refuge on a farm for juvenile delinquents. But with both gangs after him, the quiet, cheese-producing reformatory is about to become a war zone. Jean-Pierre Kalfon co-stars in this homage to the spaghetti Western.

Hey guys,
I have been slow, I know. Lately, I have kind of been missing my usual drive, probably because now that my dreams of a D&D sim are located int he far future again, I have felt less compelled to role-play or do anything at all on SL. But, there is new stuff to be had and it is quite awesome. Collabor88 recently opened and so did The Seasons Story. Unfortunately, the latter onyl allows a small number of avis on sim which made it really hard for me to get in, or maybe I was just incredibly unlucky. 😀 Who knows! This time around, I also varied the outfit a little from picture to picture. 🙂
There are new hairs by Truth, Tableau Vivant and Clawtooth, all of them available at Collabor88! 🙂
The cardigan!
This cardigan by Chronokit (Kit Pizzicato) is actually an older item, however I love it! It is just plain enough to work well for medieval gear and the way the item is designed allows for us corset friends to put in on display. 😀 We all know how hard it is to find tops that go with underbust corsets. 🙂 The cardigan isn't super cheap with 300L but affordable enough and I like botht he textures and the mesh on this one. 🙂 However, I would have expected more than three sizes to be honest. I thought 5-7 sizes is pretty much standard now. Still, Chronokit's quality really allows for some minor letdowns like that. 🙂
The cloak!
The cloak is part of the Dani outfit by FatePlay (Damien Fate) for WE LOVE RP! I am a total sucker for cloaks and stuff like that. Capes, cloaks…they can pimp an outfit so, so much! I enjoy the style of this cape (cloak?) a lot because it isn't so terribly, unrealistically summetrical like so many other cloaks. Very nice job there! I do think a few little details would have veen nice, like for example a clasp at the throat or a somewhat woolier texture on the inner side. However, this is a GREAT addon for many, many outfits. 🙂
The skirt!
Whenever Harry Hyx releases something new for Ison, I squee. Not only because I like his general style and often times his stuff can be used in rp, but also he prices them so very reasonably and because his choices of textures and colours are always next to perfect. In this case, he scored twice with me: I LOVE long skirts, but I HATE it that so many longer skirts cover up everything, even the feet. This is PERFECT though, you cna show off your awesome shoes, too, while still not wearing a too short skirt. 🙂 Very happy, and love the silky, pleated look of it! Also, I noticed this skirt fits with most of my corsets! 😀 It has a belt that can be hidden and once that is done, it fits. 🙂 Oh, and it is available at Collabor88!

Julian Lynch
(Underwater Peoples)
US: 26 Mar 2013
UK: 26 Mar 2013
Julian Lynch has always sort of hinted at vibe with his album titles. Despite the inherent hush of his sound, Mare move gracefully forward over the soft ground of Lynch's not-quite-folk leanings. Terra did indeed feel slightly more grounded, if still opaque, than its predecessor. But Lines has no inherent boundaries. There's somehow a meticulous attention to pristine detail and a completely obscured sound all at once. The echoed finger-picking of the title track is overtaken by skittering keyboards. Lynch's fragile voice is undone by the thump and blip of sounds behind it on "Horse Chestnut". Eight-plus-minute closer "Shadow" groans with low, buzzing horns and wahhed-out guitars. Each sound in the song doesn't push the vocals out of the way so much as it politely usurps the focus. But for all this sonic tumult, Lines is a sweet blur of sound. It's got thick layers of texture to get lost in, even if it truly is about getting lost, in that it's hard to tell what you'll find in the way of emotional expression here. What Lines means, what it wants to say, is still buried in all those noises, but luckily the noises themselves have enough charm to carry the day.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) April 14, 2014
Tired of struggling to move your trailer? Have no fear. Try the BACK SAVER.
An inventor from Tupelo, Mass., created a prototype for the device. The invention allows a small trailer to be moved more easily. The unit spares the trailer owner difficult lifting and manipulation of the trailer tongue to try and move the trailer. It aids the owner with maneuvering or repositioning the trailer in the driveway or garage. The design saves time and effort. Additionally, it eliminates any chance of wheel destruction when traveling on uneven terrain.
The inventor's personal experience inspired the idea. "This invention is designed to eliminate the manual work involved in lifting the trailer tongue and pulling the trailer into position for transport," he said. The idea is patent pending.
The original design was submitted to the Houston office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 12-HTM-987, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

MONT-CARMEL - A lineup of artists are set to take the stage at Mont-Carmel Parish Hall on Sunday, July 13, for the second in the series of summer concerts.
The show, presented by the Coopérative de développement culturel et patrimonial de Mont-Carmel, will star Max Keenlyside, Shaun LeBlanc, Louise Arsenault and the Joe Narcisse family.
For the fifth consecutive summer Keenlyside will participate in the event. The 22-year-old pianist has performed during the opening ceremony of the Canada Games in 2009, and in 2010 he released his first recording, titled "KeenlyStride."
LeBlanc is a singer-songwriter from New Brunswick with a piano background from the Royal Conservatory of Music. He was recently selected as the Emerging Artist of Year and had the Solo Recording of the Year at the 2013 Music New Brunswick Awards Gala.
Also scheduled to perform is fiddler Louise Arsenault, accompanied by the Joe Narcisse family. Arsenault will also provide the fiddle tunes for the dancers.
The festival, which sees a concert each Sunday during the summer, goes until Aug. 24.
The July 13 concert begins at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:15 p.m.
Admission is $8 for adults and $4 for students, while preschoolers are free. You can find the 2014 lineup for subsequent concerts at www.cooperativeculturelledemontcarmel.com.

The answer is 42
Interesting stuff, Brian. I didn't know WP and WS were that accurate (mostly within +/- 3 wins). I guess the one factor that can't be predicted easily (and that you factored out by using exact minutes) is injuries.
I'm curious as to how the 09-10 projections got to be so low. Was the downgrade because of the loss of Miller that significant?
Another question: for veteran players' predictions, did you use the WP/48 and WS/48 for the previous season only, or a running average over, say, the past three seasons?
For predicting next year, the hard part will be how to estimate the production of rookies. Reminds me of playing Strat-o-Matic as a kid, and I had to create a card of Barkley for the 84-85 Sixers (wasn't too far off, either).
I went with previous year only, that was as much time as I had to put into it.
Yeah, when you're looking back, you have the exact minutes played, for tomorrow's post, there's a whole lot of guesswork involved.
I'll include all the tables with the final post in the series, some interesting stuff in there.
Don't forget this post from Brian.
The highest WP number is 9.7 over the past 4 years. The highest WS number is 6.5.
A real solid season for a rookie would be around 5-6. Rookies typically don't make a big impact. Last year shows they can, though, as Curry, Evans, and Blair were all stellar.
Hey statman. Here is a link to an article that analyzes Miller's impact and other issues using advanced stats.
Howdy all, Many of us have got a enquiry. Has someone been told that Rockberries will be now growing in the market to a few other international locations and in addition paying out loads into marketing promotions. These people actually have TV advertising here in Germany on Pro 7. These people have futhermore completed an IPO within Germany. Looks to indeed be growing huge very fast. Could someone now have any existing emerging News with regard to Rockberries.com?

This group includes the evaporites, the carbonates (limestones and dolostone), and the siliceous rocks.
These rocks form within the depositional basin from chemical components dissolved in the seawater. These chemicals may be removed from seawater and made into rocks by chemical processes, or with the assistance of biological processes (such as shell growth). In some cases it is difficult to sort the two out (in carbonates or some siliceous rocks, for example), so they are grouped together as chemical/biochemical.

This group consists of rocks composed of organic matter (mainly plant fragments) which have accumulated in swamps or marshes. Because of this, they lack minerals (which must be inorganic, by definition). These are the coals. In order of increasing depth of burial (temperature and pressure):
Coal is a fossil fuel that is the source of more than half of all electricity produced in the United States. Power plants burn coal to make steam. The steam turns turbines which generate electricity. Electric utility companies use more than 90% of the coal mined in the United States.
Coal is also used in industry. Chemicals derived from coal are used in making plastics, tar, synthetic fibers, fertilizers, and medicines.

Professor X demands Storm use her powers not to fight Magneto but to assure he has a perfect golf game this weekend. If she doesn't... she's fired.

Study Text:
"In the beginning God created..." (1:1)
Hebrew = BeresheeT (,)... barA (t)...ElohiM (n)
If we take the last three letters (aleph, mem, tav) of the very first three words of the Torah (see above), we derive the Hebrew word, "emet". So too, the first word of the Ten Commandments begins with the letter aleph (anochi); the first word of the Mishnah (me'eimatai;) begins with the letter mem and the Gemara of the Talmud begins with the letter tav in the word tanna. Thus, we learn that Torah knowledge begins with a search for emet truth, as it is written "Your word is truth from the beginning" (Ps.119:160) - A.Y. Greenberg, Torah Gems, p. 11.
Consideration of "Absolute Truth"
"Sparks" for Discussion:
Is there such a thing as "absolute truth"? What do you believe is absolutely true in Judaism? Prove it.
Next Question: "Shall We Always Tell The Truth?"
What are we to conclude? That truth is relative to the situation? What are your thoughts on "situation ethics"?
What is your opinion about... Telling the Truth to Terminal Patients?
"Some things are better left unsaid". Yet, shouldn't the terminally ill be told the truth? Where do you stand on this matter for yourself? Would you want the truth?

WaPo's David Broder Bashes CPAC Conservatives, Loves McCain
After publishing an astoundingly positive column about Republican presidential candidate John McCain Thursday, the Washington Post's David Broder must have felt the need to bash some conservatives or risk being excommunicated by his liberal friends.
Looking to make amends, Broder went on Sunday's "Meet the Press," and disparaged CPAC attendees as being "aginners" with "a limited constituency."
Yet, moments later, he returned to his McCain love-fest.
But, before we get there, here's what Broder had to say about CPAC (video available here):
I had an interesting conversation the other night with Frank Fahrenkopf, who was the Republican National Committee chairman when Ronald Reagan was president, and he was recalling that exactly the same people who were raising hell with John McCain now at CPAC and these other conservative conventions were doing the same thing with Ronald Reagan when Reagan was in the White House. And he said, there is an element in that conservative wing of the Republican Party that are just "aginners." And these folks have a limited constituency.
Having duly insulted many on the right, Broder felt free to once again express his love for the Arizona senator:
MR. RUSSERT: Now, David Broder, I read in your column on Thursday you may have dissent from that. You wrote this:
"Still, McCain is the only candidate in either party with a favorable personal rating by Republicans, Democrats, independents and evangelical voters. He will be formidable."
MR. BRODER: I believe that, and I think against either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama--they're very different races, depending on which Democrat wins, but I don't see how McCain, positioned as he has been over time now, is anything less than a 46, 47 percent candidate.
Is Broder just trying to be a tad controversial, or did his "46, 47 percent candidate" delimiter make such remarks more palatable for his constituents?

The definitive guide to political labels, what we think they mean, what they really mean and what they should mean...
People may not have noticed, but I more or less stopped using the label "liberal" when describing my ideological opponents.
After years of listening to liberals claim that they want freedom, that they want equality, that they want fairness, that they want peace...it dawned on me that, hey! I want those things too. So then, am I a liberal?
I've read through many definitions of liberals and they were pretty much all over the place. A quick stop on Wikipedia, however, describes two sides to liberalism. The first seems like a set-up for modern conservatism:
Classical liberalism emphasizes free private enterprise, individual property rights, generally laissez-faire freedom of contract, and oppose a welfare state. Classical liberals support equality before the law and and hold that economic inequality, arising naturally from competition in the free market, does not justify forced wealth redistribution.
Dictionary.com somewhat completes the picture for conservatives like me by describing conservatism as maintaining traditional order and as "a political or theological orientation advocating the preservation of the best in society and opposing radical changes." In a way, conservatism exists to preserve liberalism.
The second passage on liberalism describes more aptly what we in political debate would call liberalism today, or what I now lovingly refer to as 'leftism':
New liberals advocate a greater degree of government influence to protect individual rights (in a broad sense), often in the form of anti-discrimination laws. New liberals support universal education, and many also support welfare, including benefits for the unemployed, housing for the homeless, and medical care for the sick, all supported by progressive taxation.So the theories of liberalism have really spread across the ideological spectrum, to the left and the right. Conservatives seemed to have taken the best, most American principles of classical liberalism and the left have taken what has remained.
It's as if the left has extracted the thin and transparent political correctness fluid out of classical liberalism and redesigned an ideology around a fed, yet hungry, newly empowered political correctness: equality is manipulated into affirmative action; free-enterprise has evolved into socialism; property-rights comes with it's own political foreclosure policy; individualism has morphed into victimization through various forms of class warfare like gender, racial, ethnic, economic - is there any geopolitical example in America that isn't wrought with injustice, prejudice and suffering? Oh, that only government can solve, of course?
A classical liberal would believe in peace through strength, unconditionally support our efforts over those of our enemies and keep government out of the boardroom and the bedroom. So why are we calling leftist activists and politicians "liberal"?
After the years of complaints from the left over the label "liberal", I propose a sweeping change to our discourse that should please both sides: I call on all conservatives to cease using the term liberal to label a person of the left. As far as I'm concerned, that's as much our label as it is theirs. And they don't want it. On more than one occasion, I've read a leftist sneering at the word liberal, stating something along the lines of how liberalism has become a dirty word. Well yes, unfortunately, it's been perverted to become a label for dirty things.
I'll still call myself a conservative. Go ahead - call me a right-winger or a neocon...whatever works for you. In my play book, the two warring ideological factions in the United States are conservatism and leftism. But I may call myself a liberal from time-to-time, just for kicks...
Now I know that some people (usually alleged liberals and the 'unaffiliated') oppose the idea of using labels to describe your opponents. It's odd that many of the same people who use labels like 'women' and 'black' to determine who they will support for president are also the ones who decry the use of labels or the use of "liberal" to label them.
Me? I think labels are fine and appropriate. And if they are mis-used, then correct the person who labeled you. I've been labeled a member of the 'Christian-Right' so many times, I've woven it all together to create a carrying bag for my Koran.
Gotcha! Actually, I'm really an agnostic (a reluctant atheist, if you will). Without the use of labels, I wouldn't be able to shock the left time and time again in announcing my non-religious background. It only shows, when you do label someone, know what you're talking about or be prepared to be corrected. When I talk to strangers opposed to the war, I try and refer to them as anti-war in some manner. It's only when it becomes more honest do I pull out the terms leftist and socialist.
Labels help us understand each other and ourselves. So my questions to you are, rather than applying labels on each other, you tell us what you are. Taking the many faces of liberalism into play, are you yourself a liberal? A liberal following an adjective of some sort? A liberal, but..." A leftist? A conservative? A moderate? (yeah, me too) A Bushatist (yeah, I'm pretty sure that's an ideology) Other? And are you being completely honest in labeling yourself?
If you are known to identify yoursef as a liberal, please explain why.

Franklin Regional stabbing victim reunites with rugby teammates
Less than a week after an 8-inch knife plunged into the side of his chest, puncturing his lung and forever changing his once-unguarded perception of walking down a crowded hallway at school, Nick Snyder reunited with his Kiski Valley rugby teammates at practice.
It won't be long until the fast-recovering junior from Franklin Regional gives the sport another try.
When he arrived at the in-progress workout Tuesday, players stopped and surrounded him, assistant coach Keith Erwin handing him a bag filled with gifts from other rugby teams.
The moment was greeted with a smile from Snyder, 17, a starting first-year player who has taken his life-threatening ordeal in stride, emerging from the scrum with renewed outlook.
Addressing his teammates, Snyder said,"I'd join you guys, but my chest hurts."
He observed the remainder of practice but has been cleared medically to return to action in early May.
Participating in sports, though — he also is a state-qualifying swimmer at Franklin Regional — has turned into a privilege, just as waking up and hugging his parents, or eating a pretzel have become. The kid with the Twitter handle @thepretzelguy never will take playing games for granted.
"The fact that I am even here makes it seem even more like a miracle," said Snyder, the lone Franklin Regional player on the U-19 Kiski Valley club team. "You never learn how strong you are until you're put in that type of spot."
He went back to school Tuesday for the district's optional return day, a type of readjustment event before classes officially begin Wednesday, a full week after the knife attack. Alex Hribal, 16, of Murrysville is accused of injuring 20 students and a security guard during the attack. Police charged Hribal with four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault.
Snyder's presence at practice seemed to brighten a snowy, frigid, early evening practice in Vandergrift.
"That's a warrior right there," sophomore player Tyler Worthing said of Snyder. "You have to respect him. You never wish something like that on anyone."
Snyder said he stayed conscious during the ordeal, from the stabbing to his arrival at Children's Hospital in Lawrenceville. He said a routine morning turned into chaos when a fire alarm sounded, sending waves of students through a tightening hallway.
"When I heard the fire alarm, I was coming out of the bathroom. I came down to the first floor and started moving with the mob," Snyder said. "I ran right into him, and the knife went into the right side of my chest. I didn't see that he had a knife. I didn't realize I had been stabbed until I saw all the blood."
The knife, Snyder said, went a half-inch into his chest just below his right breast. A small wound remains, stapled closed.
"You see people get stabbed in the movies all the time, and you wonder, "Wonder what that feels like?' " he said. "Now I know."
Snyder said his lung collapsed on the way to the hospital but quickly re-inflated and was getting full oxygen, a credit to being in swim shape.
"It's incredible to think he'll be back so soon," Erwin said. "I guess that's what you get with such a well-conditioned athlete."
Kiski Valley defeated South Hills on Friday, 39-17, rallying around Snyder and dedicating the win to him.
"We all got together (last) Thursday and talked about how lucky Nick is," senior Andrew Carson said. "It's the scariest thing ever. We're so thankful that it wasn't as bad as it could have been."
"Practice that next day was different, just quiet and serious," Kiski Valley coach Seth Erwin said.
Snyder has been overwhelmed with calls, cards and well-wishes from family, friends and strangers. When he finally looked at his cell phone after getting discharged Friday, he had 551 text messages.
His goodie bag contained signed rugby balls from several teams, including Penn State, IUP, and Burrell.
"It shows how close and supportive rugby people are," Snyder said. "There you have Burrell, our biggest rival, and they send me a ball. It means a lot."
Snyder also reeled in another surprise Saturday when he went trout fishing with his father, Rob, a former rugby player with the Pittsburgh Harlequins.
Nick became interested in the game when his father took him to a college match last year.
"He loves to compete," Rob Snyder said. "It's tough to keep him down."

Immigrants Twice as Likely to Bike
UCLA Doctoral candidate Michael Smart conducted the study, and he says it may help to identify ways to encourage cycling among other Americans.
"Using the U.S.-based 2001 National Household Travel Survey, Smart analyzed the ridership rates for the small portion of trips Americans make by bike.
Although in the National Household Travel Survey more foreign-born immigrants over the age of 26 had graduate or professional degrees than native-born Americans, there were also many more immigrants without a high school degree or equivalent than native-born respondents. (It is important to note that the survey did not distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants.) Smart recognizes the need to be careful when studying "immigrants," as they are clearly a diverse group."

Art Print
The Totem Aliasby Blaine Fontana
Free Worldwide Shipping Today!
Collect your choice of gallery quality Giclée, or fine art prints custom trimmed by hand in a variety of sizes with a white border for framing.
My first burst of inspiration came from old video game covers that had a beautiful analog quality to the cover art and promotional material. I've always loved the bold graphics, bright colors and the dynamic compositions that were used in these covers. My challenge was to execute the connection between a human being and its avatar, this is the most significant and recognizable interface with the game. So I choose a marionette concept, something old world to compliment the digital world.

Originally published in 1973, this is an offbeat fable about the city mouse who visits his peaceful country cousins and tells them about Mardi Gras in the city. What fun it would be to make masks of fearsome animals and have our own Mardi Gras, think the country mice. And at first it is fun wearing their masks with sharp teeth and tusks and scaring each other, but after awhile they begin believing that they really are ferocious animals. All the mice are frightened and suspicious of each other until one mouse finds a way to make them happy to be real mice again.
Leo Lionni's winsome mice, all cousins to his beloved Frederick, cavort across big double-page spreads of oil paintings and tell a story about what is real and what is not that is just right for preschoolers.
From the Hardcover edition.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The late Caldecott Honor artist Leo Lionni is well loved for his sweet, colorful paintings and thoughtful stories that always illuminate a sliver of human nature: the story of Frederick, the field mouse whose storytelling helps his family through winter; the little fish Swimmy who outsmarts a bully; the story of a minnow and a tadpole who form an unlikely alliance. The Greentail Mouse, originally published in 1973 and out of print for many years, is one of Lionni's quirkier fables about a city mouse who visits a community of country mice and regales them with colorful tales of Mardi Gras, the one festive day in the city that is not "sad and dangerous." The mice become very excited, and decide to put on their own Fat Tuesday party, collecting natural materials like straw and lichen to create masks of ferocious animals with "glittering teeth and fierce eyes." Most wear wigs and hats, and the Greentail Mouse of the title is so named because she paints her tail green. As the celebration gains momentum, the mice forget themselves, and really begin to believe they are ferocious animals: "Everyone was afraid of everyone else, and as the days went by, the once peaceful community became a place full of hate and suspicion." Fortunately, a maskless mouse reminds them that they are in fact harmless, peaceful mice and restores order and happiness to the group. Rich, colorful, two-page spreads of Frederick-style mice distinguish Lionni's vivid walk on the wild side. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin SnelsonAbout the Author:
Leo Lionni was a four-time Caldecott Honor winner for Inch by Inch, Frederick, Swimmy, and Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse. He died in 1999 at the age of 89.

STRATEGY: "I've already thought this one through a bunch of times. Up in the hills is your safest bet. All the water tanks are on high ground on the North Shore. I'd go to the old bunkers up in the mountains—they're fortified and you have the water towers. If you're controlling the water, you're controlling everything. Resources put you in a position of power, because money won't be worth a thing.
"In terms of food, there's already a feral pig problem, and dogs go feral pretty fast. So you could eat pigs or dogs for meat—either shoot 'em or trap 'em. You could use snares, and you could catch people who come to poach your snare.
"I'd lay low at the beginning, get what supplies I needed, then let people start canceling each other out. Once that happens, I'd head down to the ocean—that's when you come out and make your move."
LIKELY RESULT: As winter bleeds into spring, only two alpha males survive: Mark Healey and Kai Garcia. Healey is based in the bunkers, while Garcia makes camp in Waimea Valley. Garcia tends to a motley flock of survivors— all women and children—who have begun to farm the valley and re-domesticate the animals. Healey and Garcia know of each other's presence; for many months, they have encountered their respective victims—a gruesome breadcrumb trail of death and dismemberment. The bodies tell no lies—they point to the approximate location of each fearsome man.
But while Garcia gathers and cares for the women, children, and animals, Healey soldiers on alone—too terrified to take on responsibility for another life. That unfortunate incident with Jericho the pet snake was enough for him, thank you. So Mark knows he must make the first move. He must study the habits of Garcia, and, when he least expects it, strike.
For many months, he watches the great man. Based on the corpses of Borg's victims, he expects to find a cruel, blood-thirsty ogre. Instead, he examines from afar a savior—kind to the young, generous in his affection with the wahines. Mark cannot help but feel a tinge of something he'd never thought he'd feel again: shame. The more Healey observes, the more he comes to respect—even love—Kaiborg. The civilized world now rests on the shoulders of this large, unlikely man.
Healey becomes convinced that he must face this most worthy of adversaries with respect, instead of deceit. It is the only way to win and keep living, yet the most likely way to die. But Healey must risk it.
He lays down his rifle, un-straps his knife, sets down his spear gun. He marches naked into the heart of Kai Garcia's camp, hands up, ready to offer Garcia a noble fight to the death: hand-to-hand combat. They guide him to Garcia, who is sitting on a toilet-bowl throne. He looks up at Healey, exhales.
"Game over."
With that, Kaiborg raises his AK-47 and riddles Healey's pale body with a veil of bullets.

Paul Ryan has entered into a secret alliance between himself and other Establishment Republicans in the House as well as Nancy Pelosi and her activist brigade of Democrats. This alliance also extends to Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer, and a mix of Senate Republicans and Democrats as well.
The primary goal? Delay Donald Trump's agenda. See the economy remain stagnant. Fill seats with moderate (spineless) Republicans come 2018, and declare the Trump agenda dead thereafter.
The first evidence of this tactical delay on the part of Ryan to ensure nothing getting done remains the D.C. status-quo, is to declare almost all attention/energy/focus will be on dealing with "fixing" Obamacare.
Pay attention to the wording. Watch "repeal and replace" become secondary to "fixing." Ryan intends to initiate a patch-work approach that will take up a great deal of legislative time, receive significant media attention, but in the end, get little actually accomplished by of way of "repeal and replace." In the meantime, the delay in such critical components of the Trump economic recover plan – namely sweeping tax reform, will be further delayed.
In effect, Paul Ryan and his cadre of Establishment Republicans will do to Trump what they rarely appeared willing to do against Barack Obama – namely use the power of the legislature to contain a president's agenda.
The difference here, is that Donald Trump's agenda that won him the White House was quite specific. Ryan and others are now counting on voters' collective short memories in thinking the voter backlash come 2018 will be against Trump, and not them.
We shall see.
In the meantime, Trump's White House continues to push and prod some semblance of "get it done" from House and Senate Republicans. Mr. Trump is attempting to keep the negotiations going, while watching as a wave of anti-Trump media continues, which in turn is weakening the resolve of Republicans like Ryan who once again, think the media is an accurate portrayal of overall public sentiment. They have already forgotten that if that were true, Trump would never have won a primary, would never have won the GOP nomination, and would never have won the presidency.
(RELATED READING: Delaying Trump's tax cuts is a huge risk)
As of this moment, the single greatest impediment to the America-first agenda voters across the nation chose in the form of Donald Trump is not Nancy Pelosi, or Chuck Schumer.
It's Republican Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan.
