WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is huddling with Cabinet chiefs on the Gulf oil spill as the administration settles in for the long haul.
The president's telling Gulf Coast residents he's on their side.
But the realization has hit home that this will a drawn-out battle, likely lasting many months.
Obama's point man on the spill, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, says what he calls the "siege" of the Gulf is destined to last into the fall -- and beyond. Thad Allen, says even IF BP succeeds in stanching much of the flow, enough oil is sloshing around the Gulf already to do terrible damage. On the weekend talk shows, he said the spill must attacked "on all fronts", in a fight that goes on "well into the fall."

Ray Rice returned to practice Wednesday and was able to participate in a limited capacity each of the last three days, but that doesn't guarantee he'll be on the field come Sunday.
The Ravens have listed Rice as questionable for this week's game in Buffalo as the tailback works to return from a left hip flexor injury.
"We're hoping (Rice will) get there. He's got a better chance than he had last week," coach John Harbaugh told reporters Friday. "He has practiced, to an extent, throughout the course of the week, and we'll know on Sunday. We've got our fingers crossed."
Wideout Jacoby Jones (knee) has been ruled out while defensive tackle Terrence Cody (knee) and center Ryan Jensen (foot) are doubtful.
Joining Rice as questionable are linebacker Arthur Brown (chest), defensive end Chris Canty (thigh), tailback Shaun Draughn (ankle), defensive end Pernell McPhee (knee), wideout Brandon Stokley (groin), wideout Deonte Thompson (foot) and defensive tackle Brandon Williams (toe).
Brown and Canty were inactive for last week's game.
Receiver Marlon Brown (neck) is listed as probable for the contest.
Harbaugh called the rest of the injured players not named Rice "game-time decisions."
"They all have a chance to get there, and we're really hopeful in each one of their cases that they can play, but something could come up," Harbaugh said. "It could not feel right on Sunday, then they might not be able to play. So I doubt it will be 100 percent, but we'd love for it to be 100 percent."
The Bills have ruled out defensive back Ron Brooks (foot), defensive tackle Alex Carrington (quad), cornerback Stephon Gilmore (wrist), wideout Marquise Goodwin (hand) and kicker Dustin Hopkins (groin).
Free safety Jairus Byrd (foot) and cornerback Leodis McKelvin (hamstring) are questionable while the following are probable: defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (ankle), receiver Stevie Johnson (hamstring), guard Doug Legursky (knee), running back C.J. Spiller (quad), guard Kraig Urbik (knee), defensive tackle Kyle Williams (achilles) and defensive end Mario Williams (ankle).

Social Security
Ask Social Security Questions and Get Answers ASAP
I realize you have a question about social security. My goal is to provide you with excellent service, and help you better understand your options.
First off, I want to say that my heart goes out to you and I'm so sorry to hear about your situation.
I wish I had better news for you, but unfortunately social security does not provide for caregivers.
You can read about that, HERE
However, you can check with your local department of human services to see if there are any other forms of assistance that could be available to you.
If you are at least 62 you could file for early retirement through social security. If you did that, then your daugther who is disabled before the age of 22 would be able to draw a benefit equal to 1/2 of your benefit
This may be more than she would otherwise get through SSI
Is there anything else that I can assist you with today?
If not, please reply and let me know if I have provided you with excellent service, or if you need additional information.
Can you find out if the State of Maryland offers anything that would help?
One more thing - so there is no real reason for me to be trying to show that my income has been affected because of caring for my daughter? Nothing that I can gain by proving that? Does it affect the amount of SSI she can get for being disabled?

A small house-warming party in Staten Island turned deadly Saturday night when a teen-ager fiddling with a gun apparently shot his sometime girlfriend by accident, the police said.
Jesse Conti, 17, and Charysse Burger, 18, had spent the day helping their friend Alex Roman, 17, move into his first apartment, at 51 Caswell Avenue in the Westerleigh section of Staten Island. After unpacking the boxes, they had a party.
Mr. Conti began playing with a .357-caliber revolver Mr. Roman had placed in his bedroom, the police said. It was not clear why Mr. Roman had the gun, which was not registered. At 9:46 P.M., Mr. Conti aimed the gun at Ms. Burger's head and pulled the trigger, apparently not realizing it was loaded, the police and his mother said. Ms. Burger died at the scene, the police said.
''It was apparently an accident,'' said a police spokesman, Officer Martin Foley.
Mr. Conti is scheduled to be arraigned today on a charge of second-degree murder, the police said, and Mr. Roman was charged with criminal possession of a weapon. The two teen-agers have been best friends for nearly a decade, acquaintances said.Continue reading the main story
Ms. Burger had dated Mr. Conti on and off for the last two years. She planned to work her way through college as a secretary after graduating from Curtis High School this year, friends said.
''This is such a horrible tragedy,'' Carol Stuart, Mr. Conti's mother, said. ''It has destroyed two lives. The real tragedy is for Charysse's family. I can't imagine what they're going through. She was a beautiful, wonderful girl.''
Ms. Stuart said that her son was studying for his high school equivalency degree, and that Mr. Roman, who worked at a deli, may have looked menacing, but she said he was a nice boy.Continue reading the main story

Raising a Reader fuels family literacy at BBK's Family Enrichment Night
As part of an ongoing commitment to family literacy, BBK has been exploring opportunities to integrate literacy development into our family engagement activities. Toward this end, Raising a Reader (RAR) was featured as the guest host for this month's Family Enrichment Night (FEN). Over thirty parents and children attended the event last night, which featured a bilingual reader's theater with RAR's hallmark Red Bag, craft stations for families to create reading buddies, and books which children then took home.
One parent shared this sentiment via written survey at the conclusion of last night's FEN: "I think reading with our children is extremely important because it develops relationships, language and it opens their imagination to a new world."
We're thrilled to partner with RAR in creating additional literacy development opportunities within BBK's parent education and family engagement programming. Stay tuned for more great stories!
Building Blocks for Kids Collaborative and Children's Fairyland Partner to Support Iron Triangle Families
Building Blocks for Kids Collaborative and Children's Fairyland in Oakland are planning to deepen their partnership with exciting new offerings for families in the Iron Triangle. Children's Fairyland in Oakland will continue to periodically support all expense paid field trips for BBK Zone families, but a second collaboration will provide ongoing opportunities for a group of parents enrolled in the 22-week parenting series, Nurturing Parenting.
Together, BBK and Children's Fairyland are offering participating parents and children three customized, interactive, and interrelated sessions that focus on developing and supporting early literacy. The sessions will emphasize the importance of talking, reading, and singing with children and provide tips for enhancing interactions between parents and children. The collaboration will also draw upon a myriad of in-house resources at Children's Fairyland, including a horticulturalist, animal behaviorist, and other fantastic supports to make reading fun and relevant, not to mention goats and ponies!
Summer Lunch in the Park Kicks-off with Zumba
BBK's Summer Lunch Program distributes free healthy meals at the Belding Garcia Park Monday through Friday until August 15th. Children have the option of choosing from a selection of great meals including ham and cheese sandwiches, pasta salads, crackers and cheese, tuna sandwiches, breads and dipping sauces, salads, fresh fruits, and more. Lunches are given out from 11:00 am-1:00 pm while other activities are going on at the park.
Today was a very exciting day at at the park. Children were involved in many fun games and activities including badminton, board games, jump rope, and more. While the kids were playing, I noticed a little girl, Brandy, playing golf along the side of a t-ball game. After playing a quick game of kickball, I asked her," What was the most exciting part of your day?" With a huge grin on her face, she said,"Coming here."
Many of the kids attending the Summer Lunch and Sports and Fitness Program enjoyed playing with the kites. Since today was such a windy day, the kites were a huge success. Pamela, a summer intern at BBK, who spent most of the day untangling the kites said, "Although it was stressful, I enjoyed making the kids happy."
As our summer program continues, parents become more excited for the activities held at the Summer Lunch and Sports and Fitness Program. More and more parents are showing up each time an activity is held. The Zumba class with Willa Willis seems to be the most popular. Parents come every Wednesday and Friday from 11:00am to 12:00pm, and on Mondays from 10:30am to 11:30 am. We have even had a gentleman doing Zumba!
A variety of healthy lunches were given out this week including sandwiches, veggie plates, salads, and fresh fruit. Parents are also be provided with healthy snacks to nourish them while doing their activities. Giving out healthy snacks to the parents sets a great example for the children at the park.

New Porta Potty at the Summer Lunch Program
We've recently gotten a large Porta Potty with a handwashing station for the summer program at Belding Garcia Park. The families at the park love the new Potty. It makes staying at the park much easier. Special thanks to the City of Richmond Parks & Recreation Department, and especially Alicia Nightengale, for providing us with the beautiful Porta Potty. It is really appreciated and is getting great use!
Families around the Iron Triangle are invited to come to the Belding Garcia Park to
participate in our Summer Lunch and Sports and Fitness Program. Come enjoy lunch and our activities Monday through Friday from from 11:00 am to 1:00pm.
Today was also Zumba Day. The parents and the teenagers had a great time dancing the day away, while at the same time, getting a great workout. Yoga was also a hit, a relaxing exercise that brought all the parents together. Rich City Rides came to the park and did a mini bike ride around Belding Garcia Park. Helmets were given out while bikes were getting fixed.

Reflections from Summer Intern Tamara
What are things at the park that have caught my attention?
Well, first off, the numbers of people who attend the Summer Lunch and Sports and Fitness Program. It seems that more families come on days with scheduled activities such as Zumba and Yoga. On those days, the number of people double versus the days with no scheduled activities. I've also noticed the choices the kids make when it comes to choosing their lunches. The kids seem to like sandwiches the most out of all of the choices they can make for their lunches.
What do I like most about the Program?
I like how involved the parents are with the program. The parents participate in games and passing lunch out, and more.
What have I learned from being in the Summer Lunch and Sports and Fitness Program?
I have learned how important this program is to some families. The kids that come to the park get to burn off some energy and have a meal. That gives parents a little free time to relax or do fun activities. No child's summer is being wasted.

New Activity in the Park: Martial Arts
A new free activity is coming to the park for parents and kids. Check out our new Martial Arts class! The class is being held at the Belding Garcia Park starting Thursday, July 24 from 11am to 12pm. Come in loose workout clothes and sneakers. It will be a great workout. The class will meet on Tuesday, July 29, Thursday, July 31, Monday, August 4, Tuesday, August 12, and Thursday, August 14. Come join us!
When interviewing one of the kids who participates in the Summer Lunch and Sports and Fitness Program, Leslie told me the main reason she loves coming to the park is because she gets to hang out with her friends. Her answer to my question caught my attention because she was so excited when telling me.
As the program continues, faces are becoming more familiar. It's like the park has regulars and they come all the time. Then it's the people who come sometimes. Families who come on a regular basis say that they come to let the kids have fun and get a lunch instead of being in the house all day. It is something fun to do during the summer.

Parents Lead the Way Developing Activities at Belding Garcia Park
Parent leaders, in partnership with the City of Richmond Parks and Recreation, are taking the initiative to bring organized summer sports and fitness activities to Belding Garcia Park, located at 15th and Coalinga. Parents had previously expressed concerns about safety and maintenance at Belding Garcia Park, prompting Building Blocks for Kids Collaborative to organize a community discussion. A wonderful group effort by BBK Collaborative members, including parents and the City of Richmond Police Department, resulted in the implementation of a Neighborhood Park Watch training. BBK Collaborative parent leaders participated in the training, planned activities for Belding Garcia Park, led decision-making efforts, presented ideas to the BBK Health and Wellness working group, and finally began implementing activities this summer.
With support from BBK backbone staff and volunteers, newly implemented activities include kite flying, hula hooping, jump roping, volleyball, children's bowling, yoga, kickball, soccer, and obstacle courses. With the introduction of sports equipment and more active games like flag football and softball, the number of participants and lunches served continues to increase. These activities are provided in conjunction with the West Contra Costa Unified School District Summer Meal Program occurring throughout Richmond. Lunches will be served from 11am-1pm on weekdays throughout the summer until August 15th. It is free for all children and youth under the age of 18.
Zumba started on July 7th and will continue until August 25th. It occurs on Mondays at 10:30am and Wednesdays and Fridays at 11am. Youth Enrichment Strategies (YES), Rich City Rides, and Girl Scouts have been out at Belding Garcia Park to support the Summer Lunch Program and parent-led activities. Rich City Rides provided free bike repair services and will provide upcoming information about group rides.
Coro Youth Fellows and Summer Volunteer Support Community Efforts at BBK
For the second consecutive year, Building Blocks for Kids Collaborative is working in partnership with the Coro Youth Fellows Program. Tamara Jones is a student at Pinole Valley High School and Pamela Patino is a student at Pittsburg High School. As Coro Youth Fellows, Ms. Jones and Ms. Patino will participate in experiential learning and training to develop leadership and civic engagement skills. At BBK, they will support projects related to the summer programming at Belding Garcia Park and they will also construct a history of BBK to be published and shared. Recently, the Youth Fellows took a field trip to learn about the Iron Triangle community.
Today's little field trip consisted of stopping at three places within the Iron Triangle. The three places we stopped at were: Pogo Park, the Coronado YMCA, and the Greenway. Although they were all really fun, the most exciting place was Pogo Park. At Pogo Park we got on the Zip-line. Very scary, but it gave me an exciting rush. I haven't had that much fun since elementary school. This little trip inspired me to do better in my community. Seeing all the kids together being active brought joy to my heart. Definitely an exciting day.
– Written by Tamara Jones, Coro Youth Fellow. Tamara attends Pinole Valley High School.
During our little field trip we visited a few different locations in Richmond's Iron Triangle. We visited Pogo Park, YMCA, and the Greenway. My favorite part of the trip was the Greenway because I had no idea you could create such beautiful scenery in a biking trail! There is a trail in the city I live in, but it is plain and it is filled with dried up grass. Walking through this path inspired me to start planting my plant for my upcoming A.P Biology class. The effort everyone put in to create this is inspiring, and I hope it grows and thrives into something even more magical than it already is.
– Written by Pamela Patino, Coro Youth Fellow. Pamela attends Pittsburg High School.
Valerie Jameson, a recent University of California, Berkeley graduate, is volunteering with BBK Collaborative this summer to develop a training session for Iron Triangle parents. The training will address issues in education and highlight how school districts operate and function.
Promoting Health and Fitness at the Center for Health and Healing
The BBK Center for Health and Healing is now being utilized for a wide variety of free community health and fitness classes. Weekly fitness classes are managed by Richmond Main Street Initiative and include Bellydance for Wellness by Raks Africa, Martial Arts with Master Taylor and Zumba with instructors Willa 'Bontle' Willis and Helen Vaughn. Free, on-site developmentally appropriate childcare is provided for Zumba participants.

Moscow (AFP) Nov 24, 2010
Premier Wen Jiabao said on Wednesday that Chinese companies had signed a dozen deals with Russian counterparts worth more than 8.5 billion dollars as he held top-level talks near Moscow.
"This morning our entrepreneurs signed 13 contracts worth 8.6 billion dollars," Wen told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev during talks at the Gorky residence outside Moscow.
He said that in total 19 contracts were signed during his visit, including those inked following his talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.
While neither Wen nor Medvedev elaborated on the nature of the contracts, several Russian companies announced deals with their Chinese counterparts.
United Company Rusal, the world's largest aluminium producer, controlled by billionaire Oleg Deripaska, said it had agreed to acquire a 33 percent stake in Shenzhen North Investments, a subsidiary of Norinco, and also to create a joint venture with Norinco to produce aluminum alloys.
UC Rusal did not offer financial details of the transaction, only saying that the acquisition would "enhance the effective promotion of Rusal's products in the Chinese market."
Russian investment bank Metropol signed an agreement with Metallurgical Corporation of China to build a mining and processing complex in eastern Siberia, said Metropol spokesman Roman Chernigovtsev.
The construction of the plant is estimated at 1.33 billion dollars and the company has yet to raise that amount, he added.
On Wednesday, Russia's biggest lender Sberbank and Export-Import Bank of China agreed to open a 2-billion-dollar credit line to finance joint projects.
Energy supplies account for the bulk of bilateral trade but crucial gas talks have so far been mired in pricing differences, even though Putin said on Tuesday the talks were progressing "successfully."

Conditions of the mouth and throat can be difficult to tolerate. One of the most painful of all conditions of the throat is sore tonsils. These glands are prone to swelling and are often removed if they swell too large or swell too often. There are treatments for sore tonsils that don't require removing them. These treatments are advisable as they are generally safer than surgery.
Sore tonsils are often the result of bacterial infections. This is when the use of antibiotics can be used to treat sore tonsils. In particular, chronic cryptic tonsillitis is treated with antibiotics. Sometimes this only helps temporarily as chronic recurring tonsil problems may require the removal of the tonsils entirely. But antibiotics can help treat tonsil pain well enough to be considered. However, antibiotics should never be used if your sore throat is caused by a virus. In fact, I Tonsil states that "they have no effect if used to treat infections caused by a virus, and can even be harmful." If your tonsils are sore, see your doctor to see what kind of medicines, if any, you should take.
Herbal Treatments
There are many herbal remedies to treat tonsil pain. These treatments generally help soothe the pain, reduce inflammation, and help speed the healing process of the tonsils. Disabled World states that Gelsemium 6C is used to treat tonsillitis. It helps speed the healing process of the tonsils. Belladonna 30C is another herbal remedy that helps reduce the swelling and inflammation of the tonsils. Gallium aperine or Cleavers helps relieve swollen tonsils and also reduces the swelling in any other lymph glands. Salvia officinalis helps treat many other conditions in the mouth, including the throat and tonsils. These herbal supplements should be available at most herbal supply stores and are available over-the-counter.
Other Home Remedies
There are many other effective home remedies for sore tonsils. Eating a proper and well balanced diet may help. Water and orange juice may help if taken for every day for five days. Home treatments can also be as simple as applying a cold pack to your throat every two hours, gargling lemon juice, and taking a hot Epsom salt bath daily or every other day. Gargling with fenugreek seeds is also a popular remedy as is an all fruit diet. Essentially, a well balanced and fruit filled diet will help treat a sore throat. Breathing exercises may help as well as this can help bring more oxygen into your body which will help your body function more efficiently, allowing natural healing processes to speed up and natural pain relieving endorphins to flow easier.

In the current Congress, 42 Senators and 195 members of the House of Representatives have made this commitment, including SC Sens. Lindsay Graham and Jim DeMint.
Among the 2008 presidential field, all but two of the Republican candidates - Sens.

Hillary Clinton Democrat No
John Edwards Democrat No
Dennis Kucinich Democrat No

The Moonstone Chamber is a location from the 1985 animated series She-Ra: Princess of Power.
She-Ra: Princess of Power
The Moonstone Chamber is a sacred place inside Castle Bright Moon which is forbidden to enter for anyone except Queen Angella. The only other person who has a key, striclty for emergencies, is Angella's daughter Glimmer.
The Moonstone is an ancient gift that was presented to the Royal family of Bright Moon many years earlier. It keeps the palace protected day and night but without the Moonstone in place, Bright Moon's defences are greatly weakened.
When the Moonstone was removed from it's pedestal by False Face (disguised as Prince Highcliff), it could only be restored in a bond from generation to generation. Therefore, Angella and Glimmer had to work together, holding hands to restore the strength of the Moonstone to Bright Moon.

Supervalu to Continue Aggressive Save-A-Lot Expansion
MINNEAPOLIS - Leading food retailer and distributor Supervalu, Inc. said yesterday it would continue to focus on growing its licensed and corporate Save-A-Lot stores, as the company strengthens its position as one of the top food companies in the country.
MINNEAPOLIS - Leading food retailer and distributor Supervalu, Inc. said yesterday it would continue to focus on growing its licensed and corporate Save-A-Lot stores, as the company strengthens its position as one of the top food companies in the country. With Save-A-Lot, Minneapolis-based Supervalu already holds the number one market position in the extreme-value grocery retailing sector.
C.e.o. and chairman Jeff Noddle noted, "We don't want to lose a day's momentum [on Save-A-Lot's growth]," during an earnings conference call, in which the company reported results for its first quarter of fiscal 2005, which ended June 19, 2004.
New store activity since last year's first quarter resulted in 71 net new stores opened and acquired, including a net 69 Save-A-Lot combination stores (grocery and general merchandise) and a net two regional banner stores, according to the company.
Supervalu's outlook for fiscal 2005, taking general business assumptions into account, includes store development plans for 110 to 140 new extreme value food combination stores, approximately 90 conversions to extreme value combination stores, eight to 10 new regional banner stores, and approximately 30 regional banner major remodels.
When asked if more distribution centers would be added to support the growth, Noddle said: "We have 16 distribution centers now. We've always said we'd prefer at least 100 stores to support the distribution center in order to reach our efficiencies. I believe we have plans for another one this year, and I'd estimate that as our store network grows, you could expect a constant flow of one or two distribution centers a year."
For the quarter, Supervalu reported net sales of $5.9 billion compared to $5.8 billion last year, net earnings of $149.4 million compared to $73.7 million last year, and diluted earnings per share of $1.09 compared to $0.55 last year.
For the retail food segment, comparable store sales grew 1.8 percent and were broad-based across the Supervalu retail network, including continued positive comparable store sales at Save-A-Lot. First-quarter retail net sales were $3.1 billion, an increase of 5.9 percent compared to last year's first quarter, reflecting new-store growth and growth in comparable store sales.
Meanwhile, distribution net sales were $2.8 billion, a decrease of 3.4 percent compared to last year's first quarter, reflecting last year's asset exchange with C&S of the Fleming Midwest business for Supervalu's New England operations, the exit of the Denver operation, and normal customer attrition, which more than offset new business growth.
First-quarter results included a net after-tax gain on the sale of the company's minority interest in WinCo Foods, Inc., a privately held grocery chain, of $68.3 million, or $0.50 diluted earnings per share. Also included in first quarter results is a $0.03 diluted earnings per share redemption premium charge associated with the May 2004 early retirement of $250 million of debt.
As of June 19, Supervalu's retail store network consisted of 1,498 stores in 39 states, including 1,239 Save-A-Lot extreme value stores -- 275 owned Save-A-Lot stores, 832 licensed Save-A-Lot stores, and 132 owned Deals stores; and 259 regional banner stores including Cub Foods, Shop 'n Save, Shoppers Food Warehouse, bigg's, Farm Fresh, Scott's Foods, and Hornbacher's stores.

This is a fantastic bread recipe. I made this recipe exclusively for the two years I lived overseas in a remote area where I had to make my own bread. The potatoes make for a superior flavor and rise. This has none of the heavy yeast flavor or aroma that many white breads have. It has good body and texture while remaining soft and light. The potato and liquid measurement I used was 3 medium potatos, mashed with enough of the cooking water to equal 2 cups of mixture. I first saved aside 1/2 cup of the cooking water to soften the yeast in before adding it to the 2 cups of potato mixture, sugar, flour.. etc.

Conservative Media Call For Cruz-Rubio Ticket To Stop Trump
As Political Journalists Say Contested Convention Needed To Stop Trump, Conservatives Call For Unity Ticket
Research ››› ››› ALEX KAPLAN
Political journalists are declaring that the only way now to prevent Trump from winning the Republican presidential nomination after his Super Tuesday victories is to have a contested Republican National Convention, in which delegates would vote by secret ballot to determine the nominee, rather than choosing the candidate they were originally pledged to support. Meanwhile, right-wing media figures are reacting to Trump's success by suggesting a joint ticket featuring Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) to stop Trump.
Donald Trump Wins Seven States On Super Tuesday
Trump Wins "Sweeping Victories" On Super Tuesday. Donald Trump won "sweeping" Republican primary victories "across the South and in New England" on Super Tuesday, "a show of strength in the Republican primary campaign that underscored the breadth of his appeal and helped him begin to amass a wide delegate advantage," according to The New York Times:
Donald J. Trump won sweeping victories across the South and in New England on Tuesday, a show of strength in the Republican primary campaign that underscored the breadth of his appeal and helped him begin to amass a wide delegate advantage despite growing resistance to his candidacy among party leaders.
Mr. Trump's political coalition -- with his lopsided victories in Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts and Tennessee, and narrower ones in Arkansas, Vermont and Virginia -- appears to have transcended the regional and ideological divisions that have shaped the Republican Party in recent years.
Brandishing his Super Tuesday victories as proof of his political might, Mr. Trump said he expected to consolidate the Republican Party behind his campaign. [The New York Times, 3/1/16]
Political Journalists Say Only Way To Stop Trump Nomination Now Is Contested Republican National Convention
NBC's Chuck Todd: Other Republican Candidates Can't Get "Magic Number" Of Delegates Without Contested Convention. During the March 2 edition of NBC's Today, NBC News political director Chuck Todd said that none of the Republican presidential candidates opposing Trump could "get to the magic number" of delegates needed to win "without getting a contested convention":
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE (HOST): Instead, we're now seeing those remaining in the race looking at an increasingly difficult path to the nomination. What could they do at this point?
CHUCK TODD: It is. Look, he's got over a hundred delegate lead and we still haven't assigned all of the delegates from Super Tuesday. That's likely to grow, he'll get over 300. But that -- even though a hundred, you think, "oh geez,that can't be that much." That is significant in the way the process works. And if you look they basically have 13 days. There's a lot of primaries and caucuses by March 15th. Now obviously, we're spending a lot of time. We're going to be talking about Florida and Ohio. Why? Marco Rubio, John Kasich. And the game now is not to -- they can't get the nomination on their own. Ted Cruz, Marco --
GUTHRIE: They can't get to the magic number.
TODD: They cannot get to the magic number without getting a contested convention. [NBC, Today, 3/2/16]
MSNBC's Benjy Sarlin: "Looking Like It Will Take A Contested Convention" To Stop Trump. MSNBC political reporter Benjy Sarlin wrote on March 2 on NBCNews.com that in light of Trump's Super Tuesday victories, "it's looking like it will take a contested convention, in which no candidate has a majority of delegates, to oust Trump":
At this point it's looking like it will take a contested convention, in which no candidate has a majority of delegates, to oust Trump. With that scenario in mind, anti-Trump Republicans seemed split on Tuesday between whether it would be better to try and consolidate behind one candidate or encourage candidates to remain in the race to have a better chance of denying Trump an outright majority. Some recent polls have shown Trump leading nationally among Republicans even if the race shrinks down to two men. [NBC News, 3/2/16]
ABC's Jonathan Karl: Republicans Acknowledge "Their Only Hope Of Stopping Donald Trump Is ... Trying To Defeat Him Through A Contested Convention." During the March 2 edition of ABC's Good Morning America, ABC News' chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl explained that Republicans will admit privately that "their only hope of stopping Donald Trump is making sure he doesn't get a majority into the convention, in other words, trying to defeat him through a contested convention":
JONATHAN KARL: Now, George, it really looks like, and the others will acknowledge this to you privately, that their only hope of stopping Donald Trump is making sure he doesn't get a majority into the convention, in other words, trying to defeat him through a contested convention, something we haven't seen in a long time and would be a very steep climb. [ABC, Good Morning America, 3/2/16]
David Gregory: Republican Strategy Now Is To "Deny" Trump From "Going Over The Top At The Convention On The First Vote," And "Maybe Having A Brokered Convention." During the March 2 edition of CNN's New Day, former Meet the Press host David Gregory said the Republican establishment's plan is not to defeat Trump, but to "deny him going over the top at the convention on the first vote," which could result in "maybe having a brokered convention":
DAVID GREGORY: The strategy right now for what's left of the political establishment is to deny Trump. Not to beat him, it's to deny him going over the top at the convention on the first vote. And then maybe having a brokered convention. That's a pretty slim --
ALISYN CAMEROTA (HOST): That's the plan?
GREGORY: That is the plan. For what's left of the establishment. [CNN, New Day, 3/2/16]
National Review's Tim Alberta: "Either Donald Trump Or A Contested Convention." National Review chief political correspondent Tim Alberta wrote on March 2 that "the reality facing the Republican party today" following Super Tuesday is that it's "either Donald Trump or a contested convention" by "stopping him short of the 1,237 delegates required to clinch the nomination and throwing the July convention into chaos":
It's either Donald Trump or a contested convention.
Such is the reality facing the Republican party today. Its leaders are now staring down two scenarios they long dismissed as fantasy, after a slew of Super Tuesday contests demonstrated once again both the breadth of Trump's support and the difficulty in unifying his opposition.
All of the Trump-chasers, even Ben Carson, are now girding for what they see as a long slog to a contested convention. Their hope is that they can collectively deny Trump the victories he needs in upcoming winner-take-all states, stopping him short of the 1,237 delegates required to clinch the nomination and throwing the July convention into chaos.
It may still be possible to prevent Trump from securing 1,237 delegates. But it's now impossible to envision anyone else arriving in Cleveland as the Republican nominee. [National Review, 3/2/16]
Trump Confidant Roger Stone Is Already Raising Funds To Head Off Contested Convention
Roger Stone Solicited Donations "To Avoid The Steal" From Trump On Conspiracy Radio Show. During the February 26 edition of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' radio show, notorious dirty trickster and former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone -- who was recently banned from appearing on CNN after revelations that he made a series of racist and sexist tweets about CNN commentators -- solicited contributions to a website he set up to "avoid the steal" by pulling together "some of the best convention operatives in America today." [Media Matters, 2/26/16]
Right-Wing Media Suggest Cruz And Rubio Ticket To Stop Trump
Erick Erickson: "It Is Time" For "Unity Ticket" With Rubio As Cruz's Vice Presidential Pick. Radio host and Fox News contributor Erick Erickson wrote on March 1 that it was "time for Rubio to accept he will not be the nominee" and for Cruz to "accept we need a unity ticket and for Rubio to agree to be Cruz's Vice Presidential pick," in order to unite "the outsider and insider factions of the party and [stop] Trump in the process":
It is time for Rubio to accept he will not be the nominee. He keeps telling us he will pay the bill tomorrow, but tomorrow has not yet come and he is behind by double digits in his home state.
It is time for Ted Cruz to accept we need a unity ticket and for Rubio to agree to be Cruz's Vice Presidential pick, uniting the outsider and insider factions of the party and stopping Trump in the process.
It is time to divide the map, combine the campaigns, and fight Trump state by state all the way to the convention as if a single ticket. [The Resurgent, 3/1/16]
Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol: Cruz And Rubio "Have To Combine" On Cruz-Rubio Ticket:

Washington Free Beacon's Sonny Bunch: Republican Convention Should "Nominate Cruz" And Have "Rubio VP." Washington Free Beacon executive editor Sonny Bunch suggested on Twitter that "No one--not Cruz or Rubio or Kasich or Carson--should drop out if the goal is to stop Trump from getting to 1,237. Keep splitting it." He then wrote, "Go to the convention. Nominate Cruz. Rubio VP. Trump?" with a GIF below with the words "You get NOTHING!":

The Picture Parade, a user group dedicated to the improvement of image quality and use on Avatar Wiki, has been out of shape for longer than a while. Although the group has been semi-active for the past few months, its members have nearly all gone inactive. In fact, RageOfFluffy and I are the only ones from before this relaunch without inactive templates on our user pages.
In the hopes of reviving the user group, Unnamed Airbender has contacted me and asked for me to make this blog to inform the wiki that the Picture Parade is reopening its doors. It's not that they were ever really closed, but that they may as well have been considering all of the good it has been doing.
So, the user group will be looking forward to any requests from willing and eligible members of the community. The only real rules once you've been accepted are that you remain active in general on the wiki, especially in the area of images. Also, we will look into your contributions to see if you've done a considerable amount of work in the upkeep of images on articles before any decision is made.
Any more information you need should be on the group's homepage, but if not you may message me or Unnamed Airbender.
Thank you for reading through all of my babble and I hope to see some of you sign up!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Brandon LaFell had a chance to show he could be a go-to wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers with Steve Smith out the last game and three quarters with a sprained knee.
He had a chance to show he deserved a new contract worthy of the No. 2 receiver for a championship-caliber team.
He didn't.
If anything, LaFell proved how much the Panthers (12-4) need Smith for their Jan. 12 playoff game against either Philadelphia, Green Bay or San Francisco.
Since Smith injured his knee with 5:34 left in the first quarter of a Week 16 victory over New Orleans, LaFell has been targeted seven times. He has one catch for 13 yards.
He was targeted five times but had no catches in Sunday's 21-20 regular-season finale against the Atlanta Falcons.
He really has done little in the reception department since catching seven passes for 59 yards and a touchdown in a Week 11 victory over the New England Patriots.
In the past six games, he has 13 catches (targeted 28 times) for 168 yards and a touchdown.
Among just wide receivers, he is tied for 45th in the league with 46 catches. Pass-happy Denver has three wide receivers in the top 23. The Chicago Bears have two in the top 10.
Throw running backs and tight ends into the mix and LaFell ranks 76th in catches.
But where LaFell ranks isn't as concerning as what he has done with Smith out. Coach Ron Rivera tried to put a positive spin on it, saying, "He's playing pretty well; he's putting himself in position to be targeted.''
Rivera also reminded that quarterback Cam Newton was wild some on Sunday and that the Falcons paid more attention to LaFell in coverages with Smith out.
Then he added, "Sometimes, we put a little more pressure on ourselves and we don't make the plays when we have chances.''
When you're playing for a new contract, you have to make those plays. Smith would have. It's why he's gone from a kick returner in 2001 to the team's all-time leading receiver.
He gets open and makes clutch catches even when teams design their defense to stop him. His 19-yard catch on fourth-and-10 with the game on the line at Miami earlier this season is a prime example.
LaFell had a chance to be that guy on Sunday and was shut out.
That could be a good thing for Carolina when it comes time for negotiations. It's also important to note that Rivera has said he wants LaFell back, and the things LaFell does as a blocker can't be overlooked.
His block was key for DeAngelo Williams' 72-yard touchdown on a screen pass against the New York Jets.
"Going forward, he's obviously somebody you'd like to have," Rivera said before Smith was injured. "You want him back on the team because of all the different things he does. He does more than just run routes.
"He's gotten better every year. And he's solidifying himself as a starter in the NFL."
But as the go-to receiver, the fourth-year player out of LSU hasn't solidified anything. He has only proven the Panthers need Smith back.
Rivera acknowledged that.
"It did illustrate what a veteran No. 1 receiver does for you,'' he said of the Atlanta game in which Carolina wide receivers had only four catches for 22 yards. "It'll be good to have him back out there. I believe he's going to be back out there, just knowing Steve.''
LaFell will be back out there as well, so he still has a chance to enhance his value for a new deal.

Though visitors might find December an odd time to visit a home with such an extensive garden, Blithewold has plenty to offer this holiday season, with its gorgeous Christmas decorations and its grounds filled with winter plants and 50 specimen trees. Meaning "happy woodland" in Old English, Blithewold and its gardens, featured in our latest title, New England's Historic Homes & Gardens, are stunning in all seasons.
While visiting Rhode Island, Augustus Van Wickle, heir to his father's Pennsylvania coal mining business, did not intend to purchase a summer home—but when he impulsively bought a yacht, he needed a place to dock it and bought 70 acres of land on Narragansett Bay. Blithewold was completed in 1896, but sadly, Augustus died just two years later. The property remained with his wife, Bessie, and daughters until 1976, when it opened to the public. More misfortune befell the family, as the mansion was burned to the ground in 1906. The current structure, which preserves some of the architectural features from the original, was built the following year, and the furnishings have not been changed since Bessie originally decorated in 1910. The grounds are equally stunning, with a variety of perennials and trees, including a 90-foot-tall sequoia, one of the tallest trees east of the Rockies.
The Blithewold decorators have been planning for this holiday season since January, when they decided on this year's theme, "Gifts of Nature," a tribute to the family's love of the outdoors. As soon as the regular season wrapped up on Columbus Day, they got straight to work preparing the house, a task which took them right up until Thanksgiving. The house will be open Tuesday through Sunday until January 1 (the grounds are open daily, year-round), at which point they will undoubtedly get back to work planning next year's theme. The 18-foot-tall faux Canadian Spruce tree in the entrance hallway is the highlight of the decorations. A tradition since 1910, the tree ascends two stories, nearly touching the ceiling of the second floor. Each room in the mansion has its own smaller tree, as well as a theme—the master bedroom, for example, is covered in stars and glitter to represent its starry night theme.
Blithewold puts on many events throughout the holiday season. Go for one of their afternoon teas on Tuesdays and Fridays, or take the kids and go Wednesday afternoon for story time, where you can listen to fairy tales, drink warm cider, and even make your own charm crown. There are also holiday performances every Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. They're mostly musical performances, but on Thursday, December 15, plan to attend a dramatic reading of A Christmas Carol by two local actors.

It is a bit of a cliché, but the Sunshine Coast really is British Columbia's best-kept secret, stretching along 112 mile (180km) of land from Langdale to Lund with many quaint, tiny coastal communities in between and of course sun. Located just north of Vancouver, the majestic old growth forests and mountain and ocean vistas provide a stunning backdrop to explore. We are always on the look out for new exciting places to explore and the Sunshine Coast fits that bill in spades.
The hiking is a grand mix of mountain ascents, lakefronts, and breath taking ocean views. During our week on the Sunshine Coast we will cover the peninsula from top to bottom, from the summit of Mt Elphinstone to the world famous Skookumchuck rapid where the tide current speed can exceed 18 miles per hour. The Suncoaster trail is a 23 mile (37 km) trail that bisects Sunshine Coast, and we will explore much of it during the adventure.
Add to all this few crowds and comfortable accommodations and we have a winner. We will assemble in Vancouver and, after a short ferry ride to Langdale, we are off and running for our week on the Sunshine coast.
Gambier Island is the largest of four islands located in Howe Sound, British Columbia, Canada (not to be confused with the 14 small Gambier Islands, located 995 miles (1600 km) southeast of Tahiti). The BC island is approximately 25 square miles with only 125 permanent residents, primarily located in New Brighton, Gambier Harbour and West Bay - the number swells to more than 600 in the summer. BC Ferries provides passenger service between Langdale and New Brighton and there are gravel roads connecting the three communities. We have electricity and telephone and some of us even have high-speed internet access. There is no car-ferry access - something most residents want to preserve.
Our island currently does not have any commercial enterprises. The Gambier Community Centre is the only public facility, but there is an ATM on the island!

Okay! I have a question for EVERYONE HERE:
Has anyone ever heard of PowerPuff Girls Z?
For those who haven't heard of it, let me explain it to you: PPGZ is an anime show that is a spinoff of the original PowerPuff Girls. In this, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup (or Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru, as they are respectively called in the Japanese version) were originally normal teenage girls, but after getting hit with Z Rays, they gained the power to transform into the PPGZ. They live with Professor Utonium, his son Ken, and a talking toy dog named Poochie. Villains like Mojo, the RRB, Sedusa, and the Ameoba Boys return, but with slight differences such as:
- Mojo no longer lives in the mountain observatory, but in a run-down house he uses as a laboratory.
- The RRB are older, but are voiced by girls (one of them being the voice of Kevin on EEnE).
- The PPG have crushes on their RRB counterparts (or at least in Japanese).
- Sedusa is usually a normal girl named Annie (in English), but turns into Sedusa when she wears lipgloss.
- Neither Annie nor Sedusa like the Professor and have barely anything to do with him, and instead, they like a guy named Josh (in English).
- Instead of Slim, the Ameoba Boys now have a female member named Violet.
- Two of the Ameoba Boys are British, the other is a redneck (in English).
- Princess (or Himeko in Japanese) has a sister named Dutchess (in English).
- Princess's parents are both alive, and both of their faces are shown.
There's also characters like the Mayor and Ms. Bellum, but they are also different, in ways such as:
- The Mayor's not as spastic or idiotic, but is still a source of comic relief.
- Ms. Bellum is blonde, and is usually dressed in white instead of red (though she sometimes wears red).
- The Mayor sometimes shows slight infatuation and affection towards Ms. Bellum, but she doesn't return any feelings like these.
If you wish to watch it look up its English dub on YouTube. It doesn't air in America, but in airs in other places such as Canada (in fact, I'm pretty sure it was dubbed by the Canadians, especially since a couple of voices sound like some characters from EEnE, which is actually a Canadian cartoon). It's a really good show! You should check it out!
