The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) today issued the Reference case of its Annual Energy Outlook 2013 (AEO2013) showing an increase from last year's AEO in projected domestic crude oil production, particularly from shale and other tight oil formations. Petroleum fuels continue to dominate transportation sector consumption in AEO2013. However, gasoline consumption is expected to decline both in absolute terms and as a share of total transportation fuel demand, due to the introduction of more stringent corporate average fuel economy standards as well as demographic and economic changes. Petroleum-based diesel fuel is projected to account for a growing share of petroleum-based transportation fuel demand, but growth in its use is moderated by increased use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) or compressed natural gas (CNG) and gas-to-liquids (GTL) fuels in heavy-duty vehicles.
Crude oil production, particularly from tight oil plays, continues to rise sharply in the AEO2013 projection through 2019, when production reaches 7.5 million barrels per day (bbl/d) (Figure 1). Growth is driven largely by a significant increase in onshore production, particularly from shale and other tight formations. After 2019, production declines gradually, falling to 6.1 million bbl/d in 2040. This decline reflects a decrease in tight oil production as producers move from sweet spots to less-productive or less-profitable areas. Production of natural gas liquids also grows significantly over the coming decade.
Overall, light-duty vehicle liquid fuel consumption, the main component of which is gasoline, is lower in AEO2013 than in AEO2012 primarily due to the recently enacted fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission standards. Projected gasoline consumption in the transportation sector is reduced by 0.5 million bbl/d in 2025 and by 1.0 million bbl/d in 2035 in AEO2013 compared to the AEO2012 Reference case (Figure 2).
Distillate fuel consumption in the AEO2013 projection increases slightly over the forecast period and as compared to AEO2012, adding to pressure on refiners to increase distillate yields. The growth in distillate fuel consumption is moderated by increased use of natural gas in heavy-duty vehicles. Improved economics of LNG for heavy-duty vehicles offsets a portion of distillate fuel consumption, as does distillate production from GTL technology. Natural gas use in vehicles reaches 1.7 trillion cubic feet (including GTL) by 2040, displacing 0.7 million bbl/d of other motor fuels.

Thanks for providing roofing service for my home on short notice. You were prompt in your response. I was very satisfied with you providing turnkey services by cutting my trees away from the roof, cleaning the gutters, and making repairs to the roof. Not to mention, the price was right for me."

Lauren Streiff in Owings Mills, MD
★★★★☆ - "After seeing a spot grow in the corner of our bathroom ceiling, I knew we needed to have our flat roof repaired. I put it off, not wanting to deal with the hassle, but our experience with Kelbie was anything but that. I called on a Saturday, fully expecting to have to take time off of work for somebody to take a look at it. Mike was at our house within an hour of our call,he fixed any future leaks and the roof was completed in just a few days. He quoted us less than the competitor and gave a 20 year warranty compared to a five year warranty that was offered by another company. We are glad to have that task off our home improvement list."

PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., cost $1.6 billion to build before it opened in 2010. In the decade leading up to Super Bowl XLVII, which the stadium is hosting in February, Super Bowl commercials have brought in enough to cover those costs and still have $400 million left over.
According to Kantar Media, Super Bowl advertisers have spent $2 billion on their spots over the past 10 years. The cost of one 30-second ad has jumped from $3 million in 2009 to $4 million last year, with annual Super Bowl ad revenue climbing to $292 million from $213 million during that span.
Wait, wasn't there a recession in there somewhere? Well, yes, but the NFL managed to confine it to the 2010 Super Bowl, when 30-second ads fetched only $2.97 million but still managed to bring in more than $205 million after sponsors bought a Super Bowl record 104 ads.
There have been at least 45 minutes of ads shown during every Super Bowl broadcast since 2008. During last year's game, they clocked in at nearly 52 minutes with some help from a brief blackout in the New Orleans Superdome. Meanwhile, 60-second ads have multiplied from just 10 in 2011 to 15 in 2012 and last year, making up 19% and 15% of all ads, respectively.
This year, Super Bowl XLVIII broadcaster Fox has sold out its inventory of commercial time for about $4 million per 30-second spot. It's not really such a tough sell, since there isn't any other single event that comes close to drawing the Super Bowl's 108.7 million average U.S. viewers or 164.1 million total U.S. audience. Last year's World Series went to four games, but its $247.6 million in ad sales still trailed the Super Bowl. Even the three games of NCAA Men's Basketball's Final Four came up short at $198.5 million in ad sales.
As a result, the companies that buy Super Bowl ads regularly tend to spend big just to claim as much of that audience's time as they can. We went through Kantar Media's statistics and found the five biggest Super Bowl ad buyers of the past five years. There are some surprises in there, but most parted with big money to be considered the Super Bowl's usual suspects:

A year after watching last year's final on television, Rafa Nadal is back in New York, revitalised and ready to make up for lost time at the U.S. Open.
A knee injury forced Nadal to miss the last grand slam of 2012, spoiling his chances of reaching the final for a third straight year.
With Nadal absent, Britain's Andy Murray went on to win his maiden grand slam title, beating Novak Djokovic in a five-set thriller.
"When I was in that period of time outside of the tour I didn't follow the tour every week, because at the end I was focused on my recovery," Nadal told reporters at Flushing Meadows ahead of Monday's opening play.
"But a few matches you cannot miss, and for sure I watched all the final. It was a great final."
This time Nadal is back, fully fit and at the top of his game, having won back-to-back Masters events at Montreal and Cincinnati.
Nadal also missed this year's Australian Open but has been in great form since making his comeback, winning a record eighth French Open in June.
Because of his knee problems, Nadal has had to adjust his game for the North American hardcourt season, playing more aggressively to reduce the pounding on his legs, and he seems to have found the perfect balance.
"I think you can play aggressive when you are playing well. That's the first and important thing," the left-hander said.
"It's true I'm trying to take the ball a little bit early and that I worked on my game to be a little bit more aggressive.
"But at the same time, it's true that in the past when I was playing well on this surface I had good success too, so it's not something crazy that changed today."
Nadal's absence from last year's U.S. Open could have another positive effect, helping him regain the number one ranking from Djokovic because he has no points to defend.
Nadal, currently ranked second, can overtake the Serbian if he wins the U.S. Open and Djokovic fails to reach the final.
"This tournament will make the difference. It's true that I am having a great season. I am in a positive position," said Nadal, who has won nine titles in 2013.
"I'm gonna try...but being number one is not my goal. My goal is be healthy, have the chance to be competitive, and finish the year with a good feeling and having the chance to play well.
"If I am number one, it will be amazing, amazing season for me."

Shields, Royals drop makeup tilt to Yankees
Righty allows six runs; AL Central lead to 1 1/2 games over idle Detroit
KANSAS CITY -- Quick, when was the last time the Royals lost back-to-back games?
Not the kind of thing a Royals fan would dwell upon, not when things have been going so good. Well, it hadn't happened for 26 days -- until Monday night.
That's when the New York Yankees dropped by to make up a June 9 rainout and beat the first-place Kansas City club, 8-1, with 31,758 boisterous fans enlivening Kauffman Stadium. It was the Yankees' fifth straight victory.
The Royals also lost Sunday's series finale at Texas, so they have two successive losses for the first time since July 27-29.
"It's going to happen. We'll bounce back, we'll be OK, we're not too worried about it," said the Royals' Alex Gordon.
Then he permitted himself a small smile of sarcasm.
"Stupid makeup game," he said.
In between the distantly spaced sets of back-to-back losses, to be sure, came a wonderfully pleasant stretch in which the Royals had a 19-4 record and jumped to the top of the standings.
This loss cut the Royals' lead in the American League Central to 1 1/2 games over idle Detroit, but they seemed inclined to dismiss it immediately.
"That's what this game is about, forgetting what happened today and yesterday and going on and finding a way to win tomorrow," Mike Moustakas said.
Moustakas accounted for the only run the Royals managed off Yankees starter Michael Pineda, who went 6 1/3 innings, and David Huff, who finished up. Pineda gave up only five hits and no walks.
"When he takes the mound, he's as good as it gets," said his catcher, Brian McCann.
The one run came as Moustakas led off the third inning by driving Pineda's 1-1 split changeup over the right-field wall for his 15th home run. That tied Gordon and Salvador Perez for the club lead.
It also created a short-lived 1-1 tie for Royals starter James Shields. When the Yankees came to bat in the fourth, Stephen Drew pulled a line drive down the right-field line for a home run. That made Drew 7-for-14 in his career against Shields and gave the Yankees a 2-1 lead that carried into the seventh.
That inning produced four runs for the Yankees, starting with Martin Prado's leadoff homer. That was followed by three singles, including Jacoby Ellsbury's RBI single -- the 1,000 hit of his career.
"[Shields] made a mistake, I think, on the ball to Prado, and he hit it out," said Royals manager Ned Yost. "I mean, the score was still manageable and they just started finding holes. He got the double-play ball that we needed, but it ended up hitting him in the foot."
That was Derek Jeter's sharp bouncer that ricocheted off Shields and bounced away for a run-scoring hit. Then came a challenge play that wiped out a Royals double play and added the fourth Yankees run of the inning.
McCann's fly ball was caught by right fielder Lorenzo Cain, and Ellsbury headed home from third. He was called out on catcher Perez's tag, but Yankees manager Joe Girardi called for an instant-replay review and had umpire Lance Barrett's call overturned. So it was a sacrifice fly instead of an inning-ending double play.
With a 6-1 score, Shields left before the seventh was over.
"For the last month or so, I think I've been pitching pretty well, for the most part. I had a little hiccup today, but that's part of the game," Shields said. "Sometimes you get hit. There's a lot of good hitters over there, a lot of good veteran hitters, especially. That's not a ballclub you can take lightly."
Francisley Bueno took over for Shields and did just fine until the ninth, when Zelous Wheeler singled and Ellsbury hammered a two-run homer.
So it was over, except for Gordon's ninth-inning single, which happened to come in his 1,000th game in a Royals uniform.
Gordon dismissed any notion that the Royals could shrug off this loss more easily because it was an 8-1 blowout instead of a squeaker.
"No. Now every loss is the same," he said. "They're tough."
Sure, because there's a pennant race going on in Kansas City with only 32 more games left on the schedule.
And those back-to-back losses?
"We don't think about that, we think about what's on our plate for tomorrow," Moustakas said. "We've got the Twins, who have been playing good baseball as of late. It's a good team over there and they're going to come in with a lot of intensity, so we've got to find a way to get a 'W.'"

Research and Analysis by Mark A. Sarney
Distributional Effects of Price Indexing Social Security Benefits
This policy brief compares five options (four progressive price indexing and one full price indexing option) set forth by the Social Security Advisory Board to index initial benefits to price growth. It examines the distribution of benefits of Social Security beneficiaries aged 62 or older in 2030, 2050, and 2070 using Modeling Income in the Near Term (MINT) model projections. The brief finds that the full price indexing option Shield 0% would more than achieve long-term solvency by reducing benefits by about 35 percent in 2070 and would increase the aged poverty rate compared with scheduled levels. The four progressive price indexing options (Shields 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%) would produce smaller benefit reductions by exempting varying proportions of lower earners from price indexing. Those options would not increase poverty above scheduled levels, but would reduce benefits for some low earners because their auxiliary benefits come from the reduced benefits of a higher-earning spouse. The progressive price indexing options would make Social Security more progressive compared with scheduled and payable benefits, both when looking at household benefit reductions by household income in a given year and when examining the distribution of lifetime taxes and benefits.
A Progressivity Index for Social Security
Using the Social Security Administration's MINT (Modeling Income in the Near Term) model, this paper analyzes the progressivity of the Old-Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program for current and future retirees. It uses a progressivity index that provides a summary measure of the distribution of taxes and benefits on a lifetime basis. Results indicate that OASDI lies roughly halfway between a flat replacement rate and a flat dollar benefit for current retirees. Projections suggest that progressivity will remain relatively similar for future retirees. In addition, the paper estimates the effects of several policy changes on progressivity for future retirees.
Distributional Effects of Increasing the Benefit Computation Period
The computation period is the number of highest earning years, currently 35, that are used to compute the career average earnings on which Social Security benefits are based. The brief uses MINT model projections to compare the distributional effects of two policy options discussed by the Social Security Advisory Board.
Considerations for Potential Proposals to Change the Earliest Eligibility Age for Retirement
The earliest eligibility age (EEA) interacts with many other Social Security program rules, including the benefit formula and insured status requirements. Proposals to increase the EEA could affect some or all of these other rules depending on how policymakers design the proposal. By using a hypothetical proposal that increases the EEA, this policy brief illustrates how these interactions work and discusses the options that policymakers would need to consider.
The Canada Pension Plan's Experience with Investing Its Portfolio in Equities
This article examines the experience of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) in investing its surplus funds in equities. The CPP investment policy is viewed by some experts as a possible model for increasing the investment income of Social Security. The article discusses the key features of this policy, its implementation, and results to date.
State and Local Pension Plans' Equity Holdings and Returns
This article examines the recent trends in the size and performance of the equity investments of state and local pension plans. It also provides a context for the discussion about investing some portion of the Social Security trust fund reserves in private equities.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The mad dash of the holiday shopping season will kick off on Black Friday, which is only about a week and a half out.
Consumer safety during that time will be important, so here's a look at the dos and don'ts of holiday shopping.
Homes could be harboring secret hiding spots for thieves to go.
"Just walk like you're going to the car normally without looking and tell me if you see me," Channel 4 crime analyst Ken Jefferson told Channel 4's Melanie Lawson during a demonstration as he hid behind hedges outside her house. "Wow, look, I'm right here. I can come out and grab you take you back inside."
It's not just outside of homes where someone could be lurking. Consider parking lots.
Some may be thinking about everything but their purse or valuables hanging over their shoulder as they walk to stores.
"If you're usually this way, it's OK because it's on your shoulder, but it's open, and I can bump you and I can get your purse, I mean, your wallet pretty quickly," Jefferson told Channel 4's Staci Spanos during a demonstration.
One simple thing to do for shoppers is to lock up their purse with the strap in the child seat of a grocery cart, for instance. That way if a purse snatcher tries to grab it and run, he or she will take the whole cart with them.
Jefferson reminds everyone that when they're shopping, stay off their cellphone and don't be distracted.
Those shopping with children should make sure they know what to do should they become separated.
"Always make sure your kids understand that they need to go to an adult, possibly an adult that works in the store that they are in," Jefferson said.
Those traveling over the holidays may want to leave a TV or radio on in their home so if someone is casing their house, they'll hear voices and hopefully stay away.

HOUSTON - Former President George H.W. Bush was released from a Houston hospital Monday.
The 88-year-old former president was discharged from Methodist Hospital after a seven-week stay for complications due to bronchitis.
"Mr. Bush has improved to the point that he will not need any special medication when he goes home, but he will continue physical therapy," said Dr. Amy Mynderse, the internal medicine physician in charge of the former president's care.
"I am deeply grateful for the wonderful doctors and nurses at Methodist who took such good care of me," said President Bush. "Let me add just how touched we were by the many get-well messages we received from our friends and fellow Americans. Your prayers and good wishes helped more than you know, and as I head home my only concern is that I will not be able to thank each of you for your kind words."
What's next for the former president?
"His plans are to get back to life as quickly as he can," said Jim McGrath, Bush's spokesman. "Being in the hospital for seven weeks take a little bit of wind out of your sail. He's been there for 52 days so when the word was given, he was clear to go, wheels were turning, the gears were turning. He was ready to go. They say for every day you're in the hospital it takes roughly three days to recover from that. So he's going to be focusing on that trying to get a little bit more pep back into his step. But before long I'm sure he'll be back out and about around town and going to have lunch."
Something that's on Bush's to-do list is attending the Houston Astros' opening day.
President Bush was hospitalized on Nov. 23 for a nagging cough caused by bronchitis. He overcame numerous setbacks, including a stubborn fever and a six-day stay in the ICU.
With his wife, former first lady Barbara Bush by his side, the former president passed the time by watching lots of Texas football, including the Cotton Bowl and the Houston Texans playoff games. He was said to be reading John Meacham's newly released biography on Thomas Jefferson, and engaged in banter and jokes with the hospital staff.
Four months older than former President Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush is the oldest of the living former presidents.

AN INVESTIGATION has been launched after a BMW was badly damaged after it crashed into a pillar in a supermarket car park.
The silver car smashed into the concrete structure after the driver lost control of the vehicle, which was carrying three passengers, firefighters said.
Paramedics were also called to Morrisons, in Blackburn, after the driver rang police to tell them about the crash which happened after the store was closed.
One of the men who was sat in the back of the car and was in his 20s, suffered an injury to his eye and was taken to the Royal Blackburn Hospital.
The car hit the pillar head on, causing the front end of it to fold in.
A probe has now been launched into the circumstances of the crash.
Last summer police were made aware of motorists driving 'recklessly' on the roof of the car park in souped-up hatchbacks and off-road buggies.
But a police spokesman said today they believed there was no longer a problem of that kind.
Morrisons however said they will continue to monitor the car park and ensure 'it is not used in an irresponsible and dangerous manner'.
Acting crew manager Kirsty McCreesh, from Blackburn Fire Station, said emergency services were called around 8.20pm on Monday, 20 minutes after the Railway Road store closed.
She said: "The driver had lost control of the car.
"It had gone into the pillar so the front end was not looking very pretty.
"All of the passengers were out on arrival, we just made the scene safe."
The Morrison's spokesman said: "The car park must remain accessible in the evenings to allow access for staff and other businesses.
"We will continue to work closely with the police to discuss if there is more that can be done."
Shear Brow Councillor Suleman Khonat said: "These things can be fatal. There could have been anybody walking past."
Town centre sergeant Nick Everett said: "Police were called to a report of a road traffic collision on Morrisons car park.
"It has been investigated by officers from Greenbank Police station."
He added that he believed the issue of dangerous driving on the car park had been resolved last summer.
No arrests had been made.

A THEATRE company is telling the story of the author of the famous hymn, Amazing Grace.
Many people know the music of John Newton but not as many know his story, which is where The Saltmine Theatre Company step in.
They are coming to The Elgiva in Chesham next month to act out the story of the famous Christian who was part of the abolition of slavery.
I asked director Thomas Firth what the audience can expect from the show called John Newton- Amazing Grace.
He said: "I think they can expect the story of Newton told in a contemporary manner.
"There is folk music, sea shanties. It is a lot of fun. "It is very dramatic- you will be on the edge of your seat- especially in the first act."
The start of the play sees his stories at sea and how he was press ganged into the navy, before he tried to jump ship and then ends up on a slave ship.
The second half focuses more on his life going into the church and his relationship with his wife, Mary.
It was in 1788 that Newton wrote a forceful pamphlet called "Thoughts Upon the Slave Trade", in which he described the horrific conditions of slave ships.
He became an ally of his friend William Wilberforce, leader of the Parliamentary campaign to abolish the slave trade and lived to see the passage of the Slave Trade Act 1807.
Tom, 29, said: "I think we always put a lot of thought into what show we are going to do and what would be the next big tour.
"I think in the film, Amazing Grace, it focuses mainly on Wilberforce and the Abolition Bill he wanted to get through Parliament.
"Newton is featured for the briefest moment. He doesn't really feature.
"Ours is more about Newton's story- we didn't feel the film told the incredible story of Newton."
The script uses narration a lot with Newton looking back at his own life.
There is a cast of five, who are musicians and singers, as well as actors. Tom plays some of the smaller roles himself.
He said: "I am loving being in it. I think, because we work as an ensemble when I am acting in a scene the other members of the company are able to direct me and give me feedback."
Tom, who is originally from Cheshire, has worked with the Saltmine Theatre Company for four years. He was made Creative Lead in September.
He graduated from Bretton Hall in 2007 after studying acting. He has his own theatre company called Mr and Mrs. Saltmine worked in collaboration with Stop The Traffik, an anti trafficking organisation, on a project called Love Struck.
Tom said there are more slaves in the world now, than when Wilberforce and Newton pushed the bill through to abolish the slave trade.
He said: "Although it is a story which is 200 years old its message is just as relevant today as it was then.
"There are still people being trafficked- it is more underhand and more underground. "Human trafficking is still rife."
Part of registered charity Saltmine Trust, Saltmine Theatre Company is a professional theatre company with a Christian ethos performing in Schools, Churches and mainstream theatres in the UK and Northern Ireland.
Tom said: "We are Christian in our belief. We are faith motivated artists. "We do work that does tell stories of good and maybe famous Christians like Newton."
John Newton-Amazing Grace will be performed at The Elgiva Theatre in Chesham as part of its premiere tour on Monday, February 10 at 7.30pm.
The performance is suitable for everyone aged 12 and over. Tickets are £10 (Concessions, Groups of 10 or more £9) from 01494 582900 or go to www.elgiva.com

HOUSTON - The Voice
Helloooo quarterfinals! You know that part in The Hunger Games when the Game Makers change the rules and everybody freaks out? It was kind of like that on Monday night's episode of The Voice with the introduction of instant eliminations (I really can't get enough of these Hunger Games/The Voice analogies). At the end of the night, the coaches have to eliminate one member of their team on the spot. Brutal much, NBC? One more contestant will be eliminated by America on the following night's results show, leaving 2 artists from each team to go on to next week's semifinals. So let's get to it, then, shall we?
Teams Blake and Xtina took the stage, and, as always, there were some KILLA performances and some less than awesome moments.
The night started off with RaeLynn singing Jason Aldean's "She's Country" for Team Blake—finally we get a real country song from the country girl for the first time since her blind audition. The song choice was perfect and little RaeLynn was electric and rather aggressive, representing country music with a bit of a kick and a LOT of body grinding. But let's be real—no matter what happens on this show, RaeLynn will have a country music career thanks to Blake Shelton.
Next up was Jesse Campbell for Team Xtina singing Beyonce's "Halo." Now, I love me some Queen Bey, so I had very high expectations coming into this performance, especially considering how incredible Jesse has been in the past. He dedicated the song to his daughter, and had pictures of the two of them all over the stage. Needless to say, I was fighting back the tears by the end of the performance. Also- HOW DO YOU HIT THOSE NOTES, JESSE CAMPBELL? How. It's like, ok, we've hit this epic not—oh wait—he's going higher?—that's incred—no, we're still going? We're still going.—GOOD GOD, MAN. Yeah. It's like that. I love you, Jesse Campbell.
Jesse is a pretty tough act to follow, and Jordis Unga just wasn't up to the challenge. Blake got it all wrong here with the song choice— this country song ("A Little Bit Stronger" by Sara Evans) on a rocker chick just sounded strange and kind of throttled. Not to mention she looked heinous in that weird powder-pink mermaid dress she must have picked out of the dumpster at David's Bridal.
Ashley De La Rosa took the stage next, singing a rocked-out version of Jewel's "Foolish Games," which seemed like it'd be pretty strange. And to be fair, it was. It wasn't bad, but it was weird. And that's about it.
Here's the thing about covering Adele songs. You really just shouldn't do it. Maybe in a few years, once they aren't being played in ever grocery store, shopping mall and Starbucks from here to Timbuktu, but not right now. And unfortunately, my girl Erin Willett didn't know that rule. Even if you do a half-way decent job, which Erin did, it's still not going to be as good as Adele's version and you end up kind of looking a bit like a hack. I LOVE Erin Willett, and I hope she does well in this competition, but I wish she'd chosen a different song. Ahem, Blake, this is where you step in and offer guidance. Guidance AWAY from Adele songs. Kthanksbye.
Ugh. Lindsey Pavao. What, what, WHAT are you doing. Also, what, what, WHAT are you wearing? You look like a glittery, black-and-white Peter Pan. What I liked about Lindsey Pavao during her blind audition was her creativity and eccentricity, because she sounded good and seemed cool. But now it seems like a gimmick, she can't hit the big notes to save her life and her entire performance of Katy Perry's "Part of Me" was flat pretty much from beginning to end. Like hi, this is a singing competition. Pitch matters.
And then we get to Jermaine Paul, who, without question, stole the show. Like the whole show. They might as well have renamed Monday's night's episode "The Arrival of Jermaine Paul." He kilt it singing with Blake and the crew during the group number, and then he REALLY kilt it during his performance of Phil Collins' "Against All Odds." It wasn't cheesy or over-produced, it was just a really talented singer, singing REALLY freaking well. He's a star. And he has arrived.
We finished off the night with Chris Mann singing Coldplay's "Viva La Vida." And it was… ok. It was a hair sharp the whole way through, and what's weird is that for someone classically trained, he makes some strange vowel choices and doesn't seem to have a solid sense of pitch. But I think Adam put it best when he told Chris to just do what he does best, which is opera. Stop tryna be a pop star, dude. It ain't gon happen.
And now, to the instant eliminations…
Blake had a fairly easy decision to make: get rid of Jordis quickly, or give a speech and then get rid of Jordis. Luckily for all of us at home, he chose the former. Peace out, Jordis Unga. May the wardrobe gods be with you.
Ya know, I was just starting to believe in Xtina again. She's looking more presentable and respectable as a coach, her boobs are being kept somewhat in check and she has kept it fairly real with her comments and suggestions to the competitors. I was slowly but surely starting not to hate her. And then she goes and pulls this crap. Xtina's decision to send Jesse Campbell home might have done irrevocably damage to my perception of Xtina as a coach on this show, as an assessor of talent, and as a sane human being. XTINA. I'M DONE WITH YOU.
The Results Show
For Team Xtina:
America's save: Chris Mann (I guess he's all that's left now that Jesse's gone…)
Xtina's save: Lindsey Pavao (Xtina was super weepy during her last chance performance, so no surprise here.)
Going home: Ashley De La Rosa (Alas.)
For Team Blake:
America's save: Jermaine Paul (uh DUH. He may have to replace Jesse Campbell as my front runner against Jamar Rogers.)
Blake's save: Erin Willett (!!!!!!!!!!)
Going home: RaeLynn (Sad for my hometown girl, but I have no doubt she'll be releasing an album very soon.)
There are a few important things you need to know about Rebecca Duvall:
- She's old. Like as old as Marilyn was when she died. DIED.
- She can't sing.
- She has a lot of ideas.
- She's old.
- She dates/d crazy people.
- She is the least punctual human.
- She is oblivious.
- She's old. SHE JUST IS, OK?
It was literally impossible for me not to cringe and grimace as I watched her try and sing Tom and Julia's songs for the first time. Horror.
But you know who is super Marilyn-y? Karen Cartright. Know how I know that? Because Derek day-fantasizes about her being Marilyn in a very vivid, cinematic kind of way. Also she wears a blonde wig and Marilyn mole trè well. But seriously, "Our Day Will Come" was an absolute knockout performance, and may have pushed me more toward the Karen camp—IVY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
But speaking of Ivy! In a surprisingly thoughtful and boyfriend-like move, Derek insists on bringing Ivy back into the chorus of Bombshell, despite her minor (but not really minor) catastrophe in Heaven on Earth. I mean she was obviously coming back in some way, just didn't expect it to be through Derek. Is that... no it couldn't be. Is Derek growing a soul?
This episode is also further evidence that nothing unites like a common enemy. For Karen and Ivy, that common enemy is Rebecca Duvall. Now if only we can find a common enemy to unite the Middle East… I vote a hostile alien force that wants only to inhabit the tiny piece of land adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Don't worry, UN. I totally don't charge a consulting fee.
Back to Smash. Tom hearts Sam, Sam hearts Tom, and I heart both of them so much it makes me kind of wish I was a gay man so I could get in on that. I mean I think I heart Tom in a platonic sort of way but want to actually date Sam. DATE ME, Sam. Holler at your KPRC Prime Time blogger.
On a less sexy note, Julia and Frank have to come face to face to talk about Leo potentially failing out of school. Frank is really not giving her an inch, not that I'm condoning adultery. But I'm glad, at the very least, that people are yelling at Leo. He should be yelled at. All the time. And they aren't the only couple having problemz. Karen and Dev are also on the rocks, since he's jealous of Derek and she's jealous of RJ (that ambiguously ethnic but definitively hot reporter that is constantly hitting on Dev). Jealousy, man. Such a love killer.
And FINALLY, Ellis's manipulative ways are biting him where the sun don't shine. Don't you just hate when you mean to click over to an incoming call on your Smartphone, but you're just not as smart as your phone is and you don't actually click over, saying rude and offensive things directly to the person about whom you are talking smack? BECAUSE I LOVE IT. Hopefully, Ellis continues to self-destruct and maybe one day his girlfriend will walk in on him getting it on with a dude! A girl can dream.
Thanks for reading, and as always, thanks for watching KPRC Local 2!

Did you know?
The Greenside Café was awarded Best Vegetarian Menu in the Leisure Options People's Choice Awards for 2010 and 2011.
The Greenside Café is an award-winning vegetarian and vegan restaurant in the suburb of Greenside in Johannesburg, which is known for its strip of trendy restaurants.
Soothing colours, Buddha images and a laidback mood create an atmosphere of modern-day urban sanctuary.
Owner Dimitri Gutjahr's menu aims to energise and heal, and provides comfort items such as his version of a 'full English breakfast' with refried beans (a taste sensation), paired with grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and tofu. You can also enjoy the satisfying veggie sausage, avocado and tomato sandwich or – if you like the perfume, colours and textures of food to seduce you – the fresh fruit salad with cashew cream.
It's a good idea to arrive with an appetite.
The restaurant spills onto the pavement and combines alfresco dining with wholesome ingredients to produce hits like the mango salad, with cucumber, almonds, pumpkin seeds, quinoa, mint and coriander.
Other customer favourites include the Burger King (a mushroom, nut and bean combo) and the Norah Bella Dahl, served with wilted spinach and carrot millet, which is a dish famed for its alkalinising properties. The Pizza Yogi, which is gluten free, is a taste treat of artichokes, olives, tomatoes, mushrooms, avocado, spinach, oregano and basil, while the ratatouille quiche features bell peppers, courgettes and herbs.
Vegetarian restaurants in Johannesburg are increasingly vegan friendly, and the Greenside Café specialises in vegan treats. Think tofu and sweet potato wrap, roasted walnut, butternut and avo salad, and downright dangerous desserts such as carrot cake, chocolate brownies, cupcakes and mixed berry pudding.
Even the drinks pack a punch. Try the unusual, tart combo of whole lemon, olive oil and ginger, called a Lemon Blast, to flush the liver. Fans also swear by Angelina's Hot Chocolate, made with Belgian dark chocolate.

A 19-YEAR-OLD man has been jailed for more than five years after an attack which left a student in a coma.
And Judge Beverly Lunt slammed prosectors for accepting lesser charges for two other attackers, allowing them to walk free from court.
Patrick James Gavin, of Rhoden Road, Oswaldtwistle, pleaded guilty to causing grevious bodily harm with intent after 18-year-old Kyle Broadhurst was kicked and punched while on a night out in Accrington town centre.
Mr Broadhurst, who was a Burnley College student at the time, suffered bleeding and swelling to his brain and had to have reconstructive surgery to his fractured eye socket.
Andrew Piper, 18, of Wordsworth Close, Oswaldtwistle, and Malcolm Ashton, 19, of Stanley Street, Oswaldtwistle, were also arrested on suspicion of affray, but pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke violence.
They were sentenced to 200 hours of unpaid work each.
Burnley Crown Court heard how the three defendents were part of a group who became involved in a dispute inside Bailey's Bar, in Church Street, Accrington, on February 24.
Later that night, the two groups met again in Holme Street, where Mr Broadhurst was assaulted.
His friend Jack Schofield also received injuries to his jaw.
Prosecuting, Stephen Parker said: "It is accepted that Kyle Broadhurst was knocked to the floor, that he was unconscious on the floor and he was kicked repeatedly whilst he was on the floor.
"It was the sound of the police sirens that seem to have dispersed the group.
"Mr Broadhurst's progress is quite good, but it maybe up to two years before the damage to the eye is fully repaired."
Ther court heard he was now attending a university course.
Sentencing him to five years and seven months in prison, Judge Lunt said to Gavin: "You punched Mr Broadhurst, you were kicking him, you were one of several kicking this helpless youth.
"It is disgraceful and serious."
And she said to Piper and Ashton: "Because of the basis of the plea accepted by the prosecution, my hands are tied.
"I hope this has been a severe lesson to you and I think it has probably scared the living daylights out of you."
A spokesman for the CPS said: "We believed the pleas offered reflected the criminality that could be established by the available evidence and that the maximum sentence of six months' imprisonment for the public order act offences and life imprisonment for the serious attack also provided adequate sentencing powers to the court."

The tragic story of three Aireborough brothers who all died in the First World War was recounted in an American publication in 1919.
The deaths of Albert and Henry Cottrell as they tried to save each other during the slaughter at Gallipoli in 1915 were described in The American Golfer as the " saddest and most glorious sacrifice in the war."
Their brother William who had moved to America, enlisted in March 1918, and returned to fight in Europe. He was killed in the Meuse-Argonne offensive just one month before the war ended.
All three brother were professional golfers, who had moved to Guiseley from Middlesex when their father took up a post at High Royds Asylum.
Their tragic story is told on the Aireborough Historical Society website after research by Ken Roberts and Trish Restorick.
Albert and Henry had enlisted together and they died together on the battlefield.
The American Golfer reported: "Two Professionals, brothers, have made the saddest and most glorious sacrifice in the war.
Harry and Albert Cottrell were professionals respectively at Ulverston in Cumberland and at Le Touquet in France, and when the war began they met and decided that they should both join the Sherwood Foresters, to which regiment their Father had belonged.
"So they did, and in due course they went out to the war together. They went to the Dardanelles. Harry became a sergeant and Albert a corporal, and they kept together.
"In action Harry was wounded and his brother went to his assistance and began dressing the wound. While he was doing so he was shot in the head and died soon afterwards, and Harry, while attending to him, was shot a second time, and this time fatally.
"This surely is one of the strangest, saddest tragedies that have been enacted out by those dreadful Dardanelles, and the professional golfers may well claim it for honour of their kind. Shortly before he left England brave Harry Cottrell said to a friend, 'If I have to go under, I hope I shall die game, for the sake of the profession!'
"And very game did this hero die."
William had left Liverpool for America in1914 and lived in New Jersey. But he enlisted in March 1918 and returned to Europe to fight. He died on October 6 in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, which has been described as the greatest American battle of the First World War.

vol7ron - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkAs with all things computing, the success hinders on options and price. They have to give enough of the former and reduce enough of the later.
True belief: pad/netbook devices need a smaller profit margin. Reply
michael2k - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkThe high profit margin is the only reason that anyone is entering the market. Without the high profit margin, no one would introduce a single, let alone four, products.
Let the early adopters pay the high margin if that is what concerns you. Reply
MobiusStrip - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkGPS. EVERY tablet should have GPS. Tablets are little more than a gimmick, but the addition of GPS would add solid value at very little cost to the manufacturer. Not to mention beating Apple, which irritatingly omitted GPS from half the iPads.
Any vendor that fails to take this obvious step doesn't deserve your dollars, and their products aren't going to be around long anyway. Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkOn the spec sheet next to battery life they probably just write "No". Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkExcept we got pretty good battery life from the ASUS U30Jc, and the UL80Jt, and.... It will depend on how big the battery is, but the i5-470UM ought to be able to hit at least five hours on a ~30Wh battery. Reply
VivekGowri - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkYeah, they didn't actually mention battery life, indicating that it's probably not very good.....Unfortunate, but it's a reality. I think Windows slates are going to be doomed to mediocre battery life - Intel chips aren't low-power enough for tablets (yet). That'll change with Moorestown and Oak Trail, but right now they just can't compete with ARM as far as handheld battery life. Reply
halcyon - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkWell, Asus pretty much wrote "no" in the specs of Eee Slate EP121:
Battery life: up to 3 hours (under specific conditions, which you can easily guess what those are)
In real life usage that is going to mean less than 2 hours of battery life.
If that is not a FAIL for a tablet, I don't know what is. Reply
tipoo - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkYeah, three hours is what I would consider bad in a laptop, let alone a tablet. Reply
headbox - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkI predict Zune-like sales if they're lucky. Reply
bplewis24 - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkAnybody else find it interesting that Asus is going with IPS displays across the board here when they generally do not use IPS displays in their mainstream desktop monitor line of products?
Does this signify a shift in focus that will carry over to their desktop monitors or will it be exclusive to their tablet/slate product line?
Brandon Reply
wifiwolf - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkThat's what i'm hoping. Sure notebook panels have been improving but not as much as I would expect - it's more marketing talk all around HD, LED, 3D. But nothing about image quality directly. All those are indirect ways to improve quality but I hope this is a trend beginning now not only for tablets but for every display. If not, at least for products which the price is already a premium and it doesn't make sense to be cheap (1000$+ notebooks for instance). Reply
mcnabney - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkSlates practically require the IPS screen, especially when the iPad which defines the device has one.
A desktop screen doesn't really need the IPS screen since the user generally sets it up to be best viewed from the seated position. Slates are constantly held at many angles and require the enhanced viewing angles to maintain the user experience. Reply
softdrinkviking - Saturday, May 28, 2011 - link100% agree.
i won't buy a slate or another smartphone that has a crappy TN panel in it. i want ips or better from now on. those devices are like 75% screen. Reply
hvakrg - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkDoes the Windows slate come with a HDMI dock, or is that extra? Reply
Chinoman - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkAt that price and size it's hard for me to not see the EP121 in comparison to the 11" MBA. Can anyone else see them competing? Reply
damianrobertjones - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkNo, as one's a computer and one's a tablet Reply
michael2k - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkWhat's the difference between a computer and a tablet?
Given that the tablet runs Windows 7, has a 12.1" screen, and a core i5, I think it's actually more similar than dissimilar. One bluetooth keyboard and you have a valid MBA competitor. Reply
LostPassword - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkwell at least we know those rumours about honey comb system requirements are wrong. but with these prices, i think i'm just going to keep my g tablet i got on sale. Reply
snoozemode - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkThe Transformer is awesome. This type of dock should be offered to all tablets by their respective manufactures.
The Slider, nah, I think they prolly just released that product to see the demand. Don't think there will be a successor to that. Reply
stlc8tr - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - linkDo any of these tablets have GPS capability? Reply
MobiusStrip - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkToo bad more people aren't asking this question.
The lack of GPS on any and every tablet is DUMB. It's an easy way to add value to an otherwise horseshit product and trump half the iPads. Reply
strikeback03 - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkReally? You are going to carry around a 10" screen for GPS use? Reply
stlc8tr - Thursday, January 06, 2011 - link"Really? You are going to carry around a 10" screen for GPS use? "
Maybe not for turn-by-turn directions but I definitely think that other geolocation services like Foursquare, Yelp, etc. would be utilized. Reply
metafor - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkSnapdragons have GPS integrated. But whether there's a radio/antenna and software to enable it is a different question.... Reply
Gary Key - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkYes, we will have GPS on select models and we are using Gorilla glass. Tthe prices are not set yet as they depend on a wide variety of options, mainly on drive/memory size and additional communication devices. ;) Reply
softdrinkviking - Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - link"On paper, while the Slider seems like a cool form factor, there doesn't appear to be a compelling reason to choose it over the Transformer, no matter what your use case is."
I think this would be useful for my case. I ride two trains to work, so i can slide out the keyboard on my lap and type, rather than using the touch screen buttons on a shaky train. when i don't need to type, i can hide the keyboard. Reply
beginner99 - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkIMHO all too expensive. And 8 hours battery life? I thought these ARM based chips are much better than Atom let alone a core i5. Reply
juzz86 - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkIf you're driving a 4" AMOLED display they are :) Reply
Seggybop - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkit's pretty amazing how manufacturers today have almost caught up with the 8-year old Compaq/HP TC1100 design. revolutionary stuff here ^_^ Reply
damianrobertjones - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkNow THAT was a tablet. I had one a few years back, with maxed out hard drive space at 120Gb and 2Gb ram. Tweaked Win7 install and it was amazing. That very same machine with Touch..... I'd buy it the same day! Reply
softdrinkviking - Thursday, January 06, 2011 - linkremind me, how was the battery life on that one? Reply
damianrobertjones - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkI wouldn't really call the R2h a 'convertible tablet' and I should know as I have one sitting right next to me, with it's cray stylus that no longer likes to stay in it's slot and fan that never stops. Mmm, celeron.
Why haven't I ever repalced it? Simple, it's great. Slow, huge, but does what it does. I might even get an SSD drive for it one day.
It also had gps! (Never worked very well, but its there) Reply
ATOmega - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkNot sure why tablet makers insist on gouging us so hard. Overall, the hardware costs them peanuts to produce. The majority of the OS is produced by google and all they're doing is integrating it. Most of the devices of which already have drivers.
None of this is new to ASUS who have been in the business since forever. So why the premium? SOCs are supposed to reduce prices, not drive them up.
Do these use Gorilla Glass? Do they have GPS? Will I be able to buy one from somewhere other than a cell phone service provider? Will I be able to use the Android market? Are the prices in Canada going to have another $40 tacked on arbitrarily, even though our dollar is at par? How much extra will we pay just to get 1GB instead of 512MB?
I'm incredibly interested in the Transformer, but I'm not shelling out what will likely be $800 for a tablet and the keyboard! Get real! Offer a pack of the 1GB RAM model with the keyboard for $500. Overnight tablet market domination. Reply
sjprg2 - Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - linkWhy at this late date are they STILL putting USB 2 instead of USB 3 ports, and only 1 GB of memory? Same crap, with nothing moving ahead. No PCI-E ribbon for SSDs. Come on turkeys, Give us something to feel worthwhile spending our money on instead of rehashed crap. Still pushing SATA when PCIE is the logical step. Price is important, but performance is the bottom line for buying technology NOT toys.

alfredska - Thursday, January 06, 2011 - linkVivek Gowri's style of writing makes this article difficult to read right from the start. The first paragraph includes two sentences that start with "If you (are) ASUS...". The congratulatory statement to ASUS is probably best moved to end of the article and directed differently. These are quickly followed by an incomprehensible list that fails to properly join operating systems and hardware: "Three of them are Honeycomb-based tablets, joined by a traditional Windows slate. Looking at the Android tablets, we have the MeMO, a 7" Snapdragon slate, the Transformer, a 10" Tegra 2 slate with an optional keyboard docking station (hence the name), and the Slider, an interesting 10" model with a sliding, tilting keyboard (think a supersized HTC Touch Pro 2)." First, honeycomb should have been linked to Android for the bulk of the public who isn't familiar with all of the Android OS names. Second, list the devices concisely, then follow with descriptions. The processor names look as if they could be tablet names.
I gave up reading beyond page one. Reply
accolite - Friday, January 07, 2011 - linkIve been looking for a slate with these kinds of specs for a while and the other is the Wacom pen, one question before I get too excited about this slate, is the pen pressure sensitive?
If it is I am getting one as soon as it is coming out. Reply
Anon51 - Sunday, March 20, 2011 - linkLet the buyer beware!
I signed up just to say, as an owner of a Garmin-Asus A10 smartphone, it has come to my attention that every single LCD panel Asus uses in that phone has a significant amount of lazy pixels. After sending it back to Asus for repairs several times, every LCD panel they have replaced have come back equally flawed. Refunds are not available.
Suffice to say, i am extremely skeptical of their products, especially when they are priced well below market. Protect yourselves and do not purchase from this company unless you can be guaranteed a refund.
I pray you have a better experience with them than i did. Reply

One of the ironies of the current chaotic situation in the Middle East is that a country that could arguably be at risk of losing the most is standing aside.
While the US and some European powers agonise over whether – and how – they should intervene to prevent the disintegration of Iraq, China is absent. But China needs Iraqi oil in growing volumes. The country's import dependence for crude and products now stands at 8m barrels a day and is rising. According to the latest International Energy Agency estimates, Chinese imports could be well over 11mbd by 2030. That is on modest assumptions about economic growth and generous assumptions about gains in efficiency and substitution out of oil, in sectors where a switch is possible. The figure could be higher if China cannot increase its own production.
The only country in the world likely to be able to provide such an increase in production is Iraq, and it is no accident that China is heavily invested in the development of fields such as Rumaila and West Qurna outside Basra in the South. On the Iraqi government's own figures, China is the largest foreign investor in the country's oil sector. As US oil consumption and import requirements decline, energy security has become a Chinese issue. Read more

Voters in House District 46, which stretches from Santa Fe up through the northern pueblos to Española and includes parts of White Rock and Chimayó, have grown accustomed to power. Outgoing New Mexico House Speaker Ben Luján, who represented the district for more than 35 years, possessed a legendary ability to control the Legislature and defend northern New Mexico. But by next session, all of this will change.
As Luján retires, two Democrats are vying for his seat in the June 5 primary election: Santa Fe Mayor David Coss and Los Alamos National Laboratory employee Carl Trujillo. But while both tout their Democratic credentials and down-home appeal, both also have serious weaknesses.
Coss, who has committed to staying on as mayor at least until the end of his term in 2014, will have to balance the potentially competing interests of two groups of constituents—his city and his district. But Trujillo, who has never held office before, relies almost exclusively on an antiestablishment message, refused to debate Coss in a Democratic Party-sponsored function last month and won't say where he stands on key issues.
"I don't see a great choice here," University of New Mexico political science professor Lonna Atkeson tells SFR.
In Coss' case, Atkeson raises the issue of a potential conflict of interest in representing two competing groups of constituents in separate branches of government.
"I'm surprised you're even legally allowed to do that," she says. "Someone [will be] on the short side of the stick."
In capital outlay bills, for example, Coss may have to choose between public projects within Santa Fe city limits and rural areas he would also be representing as a state legislator. No method of oversight exists to make sure his decisions are fair to both the district and the city, meaning voters will have to give him the benefit of the doubt.
"What may be good for the legislative district may not be good for the city," Atkeson says.
Coss, for his part, says he doesn't split the issues geographically. He points to his role in the Buckman Direct Diversion as an example of a project that benefited both the city and Santa Fe County. He adds that conflicts of interest could arise with any legislator who works a job on the side, including with Trujillo's job at LANL.
Coss' ability to handle both positions, each of which is part-time but at times can require grueling amounts of work, also comes into question.
"I can tell you this: I couldn't do it," state Rep. Jim Trujillo, D-Santa Fe, tells SFR. "But I'm not going to shortchange anybody."
Jim, Carl Trujillo's uncle, has so far declined to make an endorsement in this race. In 2010, he endorsed Luján, whom he has known since high school, over his nephew. Carl still nearly pulled off an upset, coming in 80 votes shy of one of the most powerful politicians in the state. In January, Luján announced his retirement after revealing he had been battling lung cancer since 2009. (His son, US Rep. Ben Ray Luján, has endorsed Coss.)
Coss plays up his ability to juggle the two positions' heavy workload, mentioning how he worked full-time in the State Land Office while serving as a city councilor. (He has since retired.) He does, however, acknowledge that City Hall would see more action from City Councilor and Mayor Pro Tem Rebecca Wurzburger during legislative sessions.
Holding two elected positions at once isn't unprecedented, either. Former state Rep. José Campos, D-De Baca, served as both state representative and mayor of Santa Rosa from 2003-2010. Coss says Campos has been giving him advice throughout his campaign.
Carl Trujillo, meanwhile, provides a stark contrast to Coss' self-described role as a career public servant. Trujillo's explanations of where he stands on the issues are often confusing. It's part of his strategy.
"This campaign is about listening," Trujillo tells SFR. "It's not about my agenda; it's not about me saying, 'I know all the answers.' It's about listening, bringing people together in a room and having very good ideas and putting them all together in a basket [so] that we can now push that legislation through."
In April, Trujillo refused to attend a Democratic-sponsored debate against Coss because he says it was "machine-sponsored." Atkeson says calling the party the "machine" is akin to throwing abstract labels around and isn't a good enough excuse, especially if Trujillo is running for that party's nomination.
"If you're going to participate in a closed-primary system, then you have an obligation to participate," she says.
While Trujillo affirms his positions on some issues—he supports increased funding for early childhood education, for instance—he often segues into what-the-people-want responses when more controversial issues like driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants come up.
"A candidate coming in with no positions is absurd," Atkeson says. "There's an expectation that they represent the district and they have policy preferences."
Coss, on the other hand, has spoken out against repealing the driver's license law and pledged his support for the Aamodt settlement, which would eventually lead to a new water system for northern New Mexico.
"I have a message," Coss says. "My positions are out there. Everybody can see them."
Santa Fe County Democratic Party Chairman Richard Ellenberg says most people run for office "because they have beliefs."
"Leadership is being out in front, but not so in front [that] your followers can't see you," Ellenberg tells SFR. "When it comes to most of what you're going to do as a legislator, particularly in a jam-packed 30-day session, you don't have time to do a [constituency] poll on every issue. Almost everything you do is a function of who you are."
Faith McKenna, Trujillo's campaign manager, says her candidate's message sounds weird to some people because they're so used to politics being more about what the candidate thinks.
"Virtually every vote that gets taken in government is about, 'This is how I feel,'" McKenna tells SFR. "It's created a system in government that is anti-democratic."
When pressed for specifics, McKenna says, "Open the Congressional calendar any day."
Likewise, Trujillo's campaign is based mostly on symbolism. Two years ago, McKenna told the Albuquerque Journal that Trujillo's campaign theme resembled "the myth of the old king versus the new king," with Luján playing the role of an entrenched leader and Trujillo representing a new era of prosperity.
"It goes back to what we are moved by," McKenna says. "If you watch a movie and feel good about it because the good guy won, that is a satisfying experience."
He's using the same message this time around, except this time substituting Luján with "the machine."
Given the district's strong Democratic leanings, whoever wins the primary next month will likely win the general election. As far as endorsements, name recognition and fundraising go, Coss has the edge. But that doesn't mean voters will have an easy time in the voting booth.
"It's two problem candidates," Atkeson says. "I don't know how you make a choice."
Machine-sponsored "cease and desist" letter?
In 2010, Carl Trujillo's campaign manager, Faith McKenna, was listing her pro bono work with New Mexico chapter of Organizing for America on her personal website.
McKenna, who has worked for both Republicans and Democrats and preaches a mantra of "listening to other points of view," says she was giving presentations with the group around the state about why health care reform was difficult for people on the right to accept. A letter obtained by SFR and dated June 10, 2010 told McKenna to immediately drop her affiliation with the liberal group or else it would "seek any and all legal remedies available to us by law."
The letter is signed by then-OFA state director Ray Sandoval, who couldn't be reached before press time.
McKenna says she never got the letter, but that OFA did call her. She says they told her to either drop her mention of working with Trujillo or with OFA.
"It wasn't a problem until Carl's name was there," she says. "They were afraid of being associated with Carl's campaign."

Jena Bioscience GmbH was founded in 1998 by a team of scientists from the Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Physiology in Dortmund. 25+ years of academic know how were condensed into the company in order to develop innovative reagents and technologies for the life science market.
Since the start up, the company has evolved into an established global reagent supplier with about 8000 products in stock and a customer base in 80+ countries. Jena Bioscience serves three major client groups:
Our company premises are located in the Saalepark Industrial Estate in the northern part of the city of Jena / Thüringen / Germany. In March 2015 we moved all operations to our own, new 2,500 sqm company building.
Jena Bioscience's products include nucleosides, nucleotides and their non-natural analogs, recombinant proteins & protein production systems, reagents for Click Chemistry, for crystallization of biological macromolecules and tailor-made solutions for molecular biology.
In our chemistry division, we have hundreds of natural and modified nucleotides in stock. In addition, with our pre-made building blocks and in-house expertise we manufacture even the most exotic nucleotide analog from mg to kg scale.
In the field of recombinant protein production, Jena Bioscience has developed its proprietary LEXSY technology. LEXSY (Leishmania Expression System) is based on a S1-classified unicellular organism that combines easy handling with a eukaryotic protein folding and modification machinery including mammalian-like glycosylation. LEXSY is primarily used for the expression of proteins that are expressed at low yields or are inactive in the established systems, and expression levels of up to 500 mg/L of culture were achieved.
For the crystallization of biological macromolecules – which is the bottleneck in determining the 3D-structure of most proteins – we offer specialized reagents for protein stabilization, crystal screening, crystal optimization and phasing that can reduce the time for obtaining a high resolution protein structure from several years to a few days.
Our reagents are complemented with a large selection of molecular biology kits for PCR, mutagenesis, cloning and alike as well with innovative reagents for the functionalization and labeling (fluorophores, haptens) of biomolecules with focus on Click Chemistry approaches.
We combine highest quality standards for all our products (certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001) with individualized customer support and environmental considerations. We establish direct lines of communication from clients to our in-house scientists, resulting in productive interactions among people with similar research interests who speak the same language. Furthermore, we offer support programs and attractive discount schemes for young scientists establishing their own labs. If you wish to receive more information, just send an e-mail to email@example.com.

This is one of two evolutionist theories regarding how reptiles—a terrestrial life form—began to fly. According to the arboreal theory, the ancestors of birds were tree-dwelling reptiles that gradually developed wings by leaping from branch to branch. (The other view is the cursorial theory, which maintains that birds took to the air directly from the ground.) But this first theory is utterly imaginary, and has no scientific evidence to support it.
John Ostrom, who first proposed the cursorial theory, admits that the proponents of both hypotheses can do nothing more than speculate. He wrote that his theory of "cursorial predator" was in fact speculative—but the arboreal theory was also speculative.36
