Human Cognitive Neuroscience - Dynamic Regulation of Perception and Cognition by Memory and Attention
Anna Christina Nobre (known as Kia Nobre) is a cognitive neuroscientist interested in understanding the principles of the neural systems that support cognitive functions in the human brain. Her current research looks at how neural activity linked to perception and cognition is modulated according to memories, task goals and expectations. In addition to revealing the basic mechanisms of these large-scale dynamic regulatory mechanisms, she is interested in how these develop over the lifespan, and how they are disrupted in psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.
Her work integrates behavioural methods with a powerful combination of non-invasive techniques to image and stimulate the human brain, such as electro- and magneto-encephalography (EEG and MEG), structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Funding for her core research activities comes from the Wellcome Trust, the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), Medical Research Council (MRC), European Commission, and the James S. McDonnell Foundation (JSMF). Students and fellows in her laboratory also receive competitive scholarships and awards from the Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council (MRC), the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), Rhodes Scholarship, the EU Initial Training Network (EC), and St John's College Oxford.
Brief Biography
Kia grew up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and then completed her university education in the United States. She obtained her PhD (1993) and carried out postdoctoral research at Yale University, supervised by Gregory McCarthy, and then became instructor at Harvard Medical School, working with Marsel Mesulam at the Behavioural Neurology Unit of Beth Israel Hospital. She moved to Oxford in 1994 to take up a McDonnell-Pew Lectureship in Cognitive Neuroscience and a Junior Research Fellowship at New College. Prior to her current position, Kia was a university lecturer (Reader 2002-2006, Professor 2006-2014) at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford, and was Tutorial Fellow at New College, Oxford (1996-2014).
Current Positions
Kia is the first to hold the chair in Translational Cognitive Neuroscience at Oxford, held jointly between the Departments of Psychiatry and of Experimental Psychology. She is a Professorial Fellow at St Catherine's College. She is also Adjunct Professor at Northwestern University in Chicago, USA, where she is a member of the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Centre (CNADC). Kia directs the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity (OHBA) and heads the Brain & Cognition Lab.
Kia is a fellow of the British Academy and a member of the Academia Europe. She is actively engaged in serving the academic and scientific communities. She is Advisor to the James S. McDonnell Foundation Program (JSMF) in Understanding Human Cognition; serves as Reviewing Editor for the Journal of Neuroscience and as Associate Editor for the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience; contributes to the Young Investigator and International Research Award Committees of the Society for Neuroscience; and supports the programme committees of the British Neuroscience Association, Cognitive Neuroscience Society, and International Conference on Cognitive Neuroscience.
In her role as statutory chair, Kia is passionate about enriching translational cognitive neuroscience with cutting-edge and rigorous fundamental cognitive neuroscience. Kia is committed to keeping curiosity and science alive. She is dedicated to education and mentoring at all levels. She is also active and interested in communicating and discussing scientific ideas with the public.

MiniTrak PRO - The Smallest GPS Vehicle Tracker Available!!
Item # H4100
It's like having your own private investigator for a fraction of the cost!
When you are looking for dependability and great mapping, use the MiniTRAK PRO. It is a small, pocket sized GPS tracking
device that receives signals from the twenty-four Department of Defense satellites orbiting the earth. The new advanced
internal computer accurately determines the location of the device within 2.5 meters and records this data every second. With
this data and the included Tracking software, users can accurately determine where a person traveled, how fast they drove,
where they stopped and for how long. The recorded data from the Mini Tracker can be displayed over a street map, satellite
images, or in a text report. Simply put, the Mini Tracker is an extremely affordable GPS vehicle tracking data logger system
offering accurate tracking data contained within an easily deployable miniature weather resistant magnetically mounted
housing. Think of it as a video recorder developed specifically to monitor and document a vehicle's traveled activities.
Concerned about where your vehicles have been, how fast they are going, and WHERE?
Suspect your spouse, girlfriend / boyfriend of infidelity?
Concerned parent wondering where a young driver has been?
Concerned about employees using company vehicles for personal use?
Managing a transportation department and need to see a history of where your buses, taxis, or limos have been?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Mini-TRAK PRO GPS is the perfect solution!
Efficient design allows the Mini Tracker to be powered by 2 AAA batteries.
Strong magnet mount for instant rapid deployment / mounting on steel surfaces.
Water resistant design provides protection against weather elements.
Stores up to 100 hours of data (location and speed every second).
Enhanced 16 Channel GPS Receiver.
Advanced on
board computer accurate to 2.5 meters.
Integrated USB Connector for direct connection to USB Port.
Animated street level mapping software included.
Data is compatible with the popular Google Earth.
Ultra sensitive motion detector - conserves power in standby mode.
Low power indicator LED.
No monthly fees.
Location of the GPS Unit Effectiveness Comments:
On the front or rear dash board 99%
Probably one of the best locations to keep your unit if you do not need to conceal the device. You can place the unit in a box
of tissues or in something on the dash.
Under the Front or Rear Dash Board 95%
It is important to remember that the unit must be high enough up in the dash board to make an effective lock. Spotty data will
indicate that your placement may need to be adjusted.
In the Glove Box 80-95%
This is good location to keep your unit. Effectiveness may vary from one vehicle to another, but if placed properly it should
work in the glove box of almost any vehicle.
Under or on the Seat. 70%
Placement under the seat will vary from vehicle to vehicle. If you must place the unit under the seat, make sure you test it for
a day or two to make sure it will work in your vehicle.
Under the Vehicle 70%
Placement under the vehicle will vary from vehicle to vehicle. If you must place the unit under the seat, make sure you test it
for a day or two to make sure it will work in your vehicle. There is not a guarantee that the Mini Tracker will work in this
location. If the unit is not properly gathering data you may have to adjust your location.

Dear Alice,
I am a lesbian who does not enjoy penetration and does not include this in my sexual repertoire. I am concerned, however, about Pap smears. I find the speculum very uncomfortable, even painful — my last Pap was agonizing and embarrassing. If I didn't know how important this annual exam was, I would just stop going.
I am seeking ways to make this experience less traumatic, so my question to you is, is there a way I can obtain a speculum of my own so I can practice at home? Any other advice on the subject of less painful Paps would be appreciated!
— Desperately Seeking Speculum
Dear Desperately Seeking Speculum,
Pelvic examinations and Pap smears certainly invoke a deep sense of vulnerability — and in your case the added discomfort of vaginal penetration presents a particular challenge. Fortunately, you seem to be on the right track in your search for a speculum to increase your own level of comfort and control during this needed procedure.
Getting your hands on your own speculum will help familiarize your body with the sensations involved in an annual pelvic exam. Speculums, either metal or plastic, are sold at some medical supply stores and online medical retailers. The Feminist Women's Health Center in Washington State also sells plastic speculums and has a guide to performing a self-exam. Before you begin any kind of at-home examination or activities involving your speculum, you may also want to check out Our Bodies, Our Selves for the New Century by The Boston Women's Health Book Collective, which has a section on self-examination. At home you will be able to experiment with your comfort threshold; the body is capable of relaxing and adapting to many new sensations or experiences. The vagina is no exception.
Here are some more tips for a less painful pelvic exam:
- Read Gynecologist for the first time in the Alice Sexual Health Archive for details about the exam itself. Even though you have had a Pap smear already, it never hurts to review exactly what happens during one for your own peace of mind.
- Before you try working on yourself with a speculum, you may want to practice putting a finger, or even a junior-sized tampon, in your vagina to familiarize yourself with the sensation. Water-based lubricant (also used during exams) will make penetration more comfortable. It may also help to try this lying down and comfortably supported.
- During the exam, breathe or use relaxation exercises as the speculum slides into your vagina. If you feel discomfort or pain, tell your provider.
- Some scratching or scraping sensations, along with feeling vaginal pressure during a Pap, are normal because your provider is collecting samples to evaluate the health of your cervix. However, if you are very uncomfortable or have severe pain, this needs to be pointed out to your provider, as it could be a symptom of something else.
Being proactive with your women's health care provider will also go a long way toward making the exam more tolerable. Here is some advice about talking with your gynecologist for a more comfortable exam:
- Before the exam gets underway, talk with your provider about your past experiences, fears, or anxieties about penetration and the exam. Let her or him know that you want to maximize your comfort and you'd like them to work with you towards that end.
- Don't hesitate to talk with your provider about types and sizes of speculums — often s/he may have a smaller speculum they could use if you speak up.
- Ask the examiner to warm up the speculum and the lubricant used with it. This may ease the introduction of the speculum into your body and cause less pain.
- Hunt for your perfect gynecologist. The health care provider doing your exam has a huge impact on your overall level of comfort for the exam. If you feel your current gynecologist just isn't taking enough measures to put you at ease, find an annual exam provider you can absolutely trust. This will also create an environment of familiarity and trust, which will help you to relax during exams.
As an additional option you may want to check out health care providers that specialize in LGBT health. In New York City, Callen-Lourde Community Health Center offers primary health services, including reproductive health services, exclusively for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered individuals. Such a place may be a good fit to meet your Pap smear needs.
More power to you for recognizing the importance of this annual routine, and for addressing your discomfort with such a proactive attitude. Your diligence in working towards comfort and relaxation will surely pay off at your next pelvic exam.Alice!

Dear All, I have a link here http://184.108.40.206/v3/addCVC.php. First if you select the name T1 via ajax the second drop down list is populated. Then pick anyvalue from the second drop down list and your will get a table populated below it. Then finally when you press submit button I call the validation function. In there I got this little codes.The alert keep showing me null even though the table is generated with its relevant values too. What is the problem ya?
var table = document.getElementById("listOfCorrection");
//var checkbox = table.getElementsByTagName("input");
Does the table exist in the DOM when you make that call? It looks like when you click the submit button (which is when you get that alert), you're deleting the table from the DOM which would in turn give you null...
Dear Mike, I check via the firebug in firefox yes the table is shown to me. So how to make sure the table is not deleted?
Dear Paul, Here is my page http://22.214.171.124/v3/addCVC.php. First your select T1 from the first drop down list then the second drop down list will be populated then from the second drop down list you can select any value and you will get a table. This talble is where I reference in the validation function. Thank you.
The reason why you are getting null is because that section of the page no longer exists, so that is no longer any element with the id that you are looking for.
Why does is no longer exist? It's due to this assignment which removes the content:
Dear Paul, Thanks that helped.

Uncaring & unprofessional
Dr Adade is cold and uninterested. Uncomfortable with women's issues. If you are menopausal forget her! She doesn't care. She refused to do a pelvic exam even though that was one of the reasons I came in & told me to go to a pharmacy for assistance.. I had to go elsewhere for the exam and had an infection. if you like being treated like a number, and disrespected, then she is your appointment perfect Dr. Her staff in person was very nice and does not deserve to have to work for her.

Dr. Adade is not a very good doctor at all. after waiting almost an hour after my appointment time while waiting in the outer and exam room i finally saw her she really didn't seem to have a clue what to do for me she could've looked on web MD and found some help there. Its very sad that someone with so much education doesn't seem to know what to do for patients as per bedside manner and where to look for help and what to listen to from the patient. i am looking for a new doctor now and though she may seem nice at first she just dony seem to have a clue of how to be a good doctor.

Negative Stars
She has absolutely no beside manner. She was disrespectful and talked down to me. She refused to refill my prescription for Claritin D, even though I have been taking it for 3 years. It is the ONLY medicine that works for my allergies. I tried several other types at her suggestion, and they didn't work, at all. She doesn't seem to understand what she's diagnosing, and the way she treated me made me so angry I couldn't even make eye contact with her. My mother and I had an appointment with her together (she paid for an appointment for herself and I paid for my own) and Dr. Adade refused to answer any of her questions. I don't usually write reviews, but I have never felt so disrespected in a doctor's office. I've been having dizzy spells to the point of not being able to stand up, and when I paid for an appointment to talk to her about this, she literally said she "had no idea what was going on" and acted like I was making up my symptoms. Because of the disrespect my mother and I recieved from Dr. Adade, we are not only changing doctors, but leaving the entire practice. My mother works with Community, and we have always been in the network, always felt respected, until Dr. Adade. I would give her -4 stars if I could, I would never recommend her to someone. She is not only the most impolite doctor I have ever visited, but also one of the most genuinely rude people I have ever met. However, the nurses were very friendly, and seemed to also find Dr. Adade rude.

I am not one to ever write reviews for anything but I am so disappointed with my new patient visit with Dr. Adade. She is not a welcoming or a personable individual what so ever. She did not care what the reason was for my visit. When she asked what I did for a living, she treated me like I was a liar and found it hard to believe. In the middle of our visit she abruptly told me to lie down as she forcefully ripped my shirt up. I was not warned or prepared for this. She also refused to refill any prescriptions that I needed to be filled; these are prescriptions I have been taking for many years. Also she acted as if I were lying about being on these medications. When she was finished, she did not say good-bye or anything, she just aggressively walked out like I had completely wasted her time. A nurse came in and handed me papers to go have blood tests taken, Dr. Adade spoke nothing of this during the visit. Our visit took approximately 8 minutes.

Hello again, I would like to ask if anyone recommends any other site to book shore excursions other than through the cruise ship. Thanks in advance.
Hi mrtonyla13, can you shed some light on the ports you'll be visiting? Also, what do you enjoy doing? I moved your post here so there might be more response. Have you checked out this section? You can use your "find" feature in the upper left hand corner, type in your ports, and it will pull up all the posts made about them. Hope we can help you http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...icon_smile.gif
Good morning Penny and thanks for the help. I will be visiting Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Victoria BC. I have also tried searching the cruise line website for excursions and will try to match those prices with other websites. Since this is my first time to Alaska I am open to try anything. Again thanks for your help.
The only excursion we did in Alaska was the train in Skagway. We did it through the cruiseline because at that time, the price difference was minimal - however, I've heard that there is now a significant difference. The terminal is right off the pier if you do the train. We didn't do excursions in either Juneau or Ketchikan - just walked around town and went exploring. The natural musueum in Juneau was wonderful. Haven't been to Victoria. Whatever you choose to do, you should enjoy Alaska - what a beautiful place.
The train in Skagway is a must!
One time in Juneau we took a floatplane to Taku Glacier Lodge. It was a fantastic trip, but pricey. Our last trip to Juneau we took a ship sponsored excursion to Mendenhall Glacier.
In Ketchikan, we took a ride on the Ducks. That was fun. The time before we went to Prince George Lodge. We book all of our excursions on the ship because we feel more comfortable doing that. Many people prefer to find their own tour operators at the port.
Whatever you do in Alaska, you will thoroughly enjoy I'm sure. It's just an awesome experience.

We're only five months into 2012, and sadly, we've already lost several icons from the music world. They've all left us way too soon. Up in rock and roll heaven are Whitney Houston, Robin Gibb, Donna Summer, Davy Jones, the lead singer of The Trammps, Jimmy Ellis, and I can't omit Dick Clark. There is another important musician who recently left us who may not be that familiar to you.

It is standard practice in the world of journalism to write obituaries long in advance of the day someone dies. That way, when the day comes, you don't have to wrestle with the emotion of the moment.
I never did get around to writing Bud Greenspan's obituary. I simply couldn't do it. He had been ill with Parkinson's disease but I just could not confront the inevitable.
Over the years, Bud and I — and Nancy Beffa, his longtime companion — had become way more than professional colleagues. We had become good friends.
And Bud was always — always — one of the most vital people I ever had the pleasure and privilege of knowing. You just had to enjoy being around him, his glasses perched always — always — on his forehead. The man could tell a story, he loved to tell stories and he had stories to tell.
So apologies in advance. This column is really, really hard.
Bud passed away Saturday. He was 84.
The history books will say that Bud was one of the foremost filmmakers in Olympic history. In the mid-1980s, he received what's called the Olympic order, the highest award in Olympic circles, the then-International Olympic Committee president, Juan Antonio Samaranch of Spain saying that Bud had even then "been called the foremost producer, writer and director of Olympic films — more than that, he is an ever-lasting friend of the Olympic family."
Bud was so much more than that.
The explosive growth that saw the Olympic rings become one of the most recognizable symbols around the world over the last half of the 20th century is arguably due to two factors — television and Bud Greenspan.
Television brought what happened on the track and in the pool in all those far-away places into your living room.
Through his films, Bud told you the stories of the athletes, wherever they were from. He made them real people. They had families, just like you and me. That their names didn't sound quite like ours or maybe their clothes didn't look like what we would wear or whatever — all that faded away.
Bud's gift to us was simple but nonetheless profound. He reminded us all of our humanity.
That's why his work is so powerful. And no matter how many times you see his films, the power endures.
In Bud's world we are all the same. No matter what we look like or are shaped like or sound like, each of us is a human being imbued with potential and dignity.
"Bud Greenspan always understood that the athletes are at the center of the Olympic experience," Peter Ueberroth, who ran the 1984 Los Angeles Games and then served from 2004 to 2008 as chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee, said late Saturday night.
"Their stories are the ones he told, and those stories reminded us of our shared humanity and the commitment to excellence that are at the core of the Olympic ideals around the world."
In his Olympic films, Bud told dozens and dozens of stories. Perhaps none was as memorable as one of the first — the Tanzanian marathoner John Stephen Akhwari, who finished last, 57th, in the marathon at the 1968 Mexico City Summer Games.
As the story goes, John Stephen came in about an hour after the winner, Mamo Wolde of Ethiopia. John Stephen had injured his leg in a fall; his leg was bandaged and bloodied.
Why, Bud asked, didn't you just give up?
Give up? Never, John Stephen replied.
My country, he said, didn't send me seven-thousand miles to start a race. He said, they sent me seven-thousand miles to finish it.
"In his lifetime, through his work, he did more than any individual to bring the personal stories of Olympians into households around the world," Mike Moran, who served as the U.S. Olympic Committee's spokesman from 1978-2003, said Saturday night.
"His style never was out of date. What he produced will be watched decades from now by people who are or will be members of the Olympic family. No one else can ever do what he did. His contributions to what we refer to as Olympism are simply without precedent and Olympic athletes around the world owe him a huge debt of gratitude."
When I think of Bud and Nancy, I think of course of all the great stories he told on film but also the great tales he shared in the times we hung out together — the back stories of how the films came together, the projects that didn't work, the ones that worked better than they ever imagined, all of that.
We had some great times together. We laughed and laughed with Aussie broadcasting friend Tracey Holmes in Sydney in 2000. We were super-sober while taking in the scene of all the police dogs and the soldiers while we waited our turn to get into freezing-cold Olympic Stadium in Salt Lake City on opening night in 2002; for all his celebrity, Bud was just one more guy getting into the stadium that night, believe me. After we got through and into somewhere where it was warm — more laughs. As if Bud Greenspan was a threat to anyone.
In November 2007, the USOC endowed a scholarship at the USC School of Cinematic Arts to honor Bud and to encourage future filmmakers.
Donations should be sent to that scholarship fund.
As for flowers, Bud always was fond of relating a quote from another pioneer, Red Barber, one of the great baseball play-by-play men: "If you're going to send someone flowers, make sure they're around to smell them."
The world is diminished tonight because Bud is no longer with us. Godspeed, my friend.

On the way to Dharavi we drove through the red-light district where young girls and women work the sex trade. This gave us the opportunity to talk about the reality of prostitution in India, about sex trafficking children and women here from Nepal, Bangladesh and elsewhere. It's important that we as travelers raise awareness and support organizations working to break up human trafficking by providing support for children and women to find safe harbor, break the sexual exploitation cycle and find a better life. Jen and Heather, our Yoga instructors, with Twist Vinyasa Yoga Edmonds came to this part of Mumbai before our yoga group met up in Goa and brought toys for the children of working prostitute mothers.
Wildland Adventures is a signator to the Tourism Child-Protection Code of Conduct and supports ECPAT - the international campaign to end child prostitution, child pornography and trafficking of children for sexual purposes including children who are trafficked to the United States and exploited within the USA.
We also stopped on a bridge overlooking the Dobi Ghat, the world's largest open-air laundromat where some 10,000 people work daily, including about 5,000 who run around Mumbai picking up and delivering laundry throughout the city. IT's simply amazing how they keep it straight tagging clothing to separate colors into different areas for washing and drying and then delivering each piece back into the rightful owner's hands.
Dharavi is a community where Christians, Hindus and Muslims live and work amongst each other, some in mixed neighborhoods while others we walked through were distinct by religion or trade: the four largest industries in Dharavi are recycling, leather, garments, and pottery. Rubbish makes its way here from all over the world where workers earn 200-300 rupees a day ($5) to break it down, sort it out, re-package it, and either haul it away to manufacture plants outside or to process it in a slum factory for resale and reuse. I saw piles of yogurt containers in English, Israeli and Hindi stacked high, old VHS video cassettes getting broken up, old paint cans getting cleaned and painted for re-use, and one room chock full of brightly colored plastic kids toys just like the ones our now 24 year old son played with in our Seattle home.
We meandered by embroiderers from Uttar Pradesh state, the potters area with open water shallow wells for mixing clay, and through the Muslim neighborhood where cow and goat skins were brought in to make fine leather garments (they moved the tanneries outside of the slum years ago); one leather garment businessman told me they export directly to major brand clothiers in Europe. In fact, there are some 10,000 small cottage industries in Dharavi exporting their wares bringing in an amazing $665 million dollars of income per year!
What's so great about a Reality Tour is they want to show us the unique strengths, opportunities, challenges and issues of the community living here. So, for travelers who want to delve deep into the narrow, winding, dark and dank alley ways where 300,000 people live in an area half the size of Central Park with 20 times the density of the rest of this crowded city around it, this ½ day walking tour can be both disheartening and uplifting. Here, residents pay for rent, electricity and in some cases running water. Some homes are made of cardboard and plastic, but we visited one of many families who own their own two story home consisting of a 15 x 15 foot square area downstairs and up with a small side area for bathing and a tiny kitchen space.
At the end of our tour we visited the Ashayen Community Center established by Realty Tours and supported by slum tour proceeds. Here we talked about their jobs programs to help young adults find work, their health care education initiatives including the establishment of an acupuncture center for treating slum dwellers, a program helping girls transition from youth to finding their way in the world, sports programs, and more. Out of our discussions we decided to help facilitate the next Wildland travelers who come here to bring soccer uniforms that would really help create even greater team spirit among the kids and their families in Dharavi!
Ask us about joining the Realilty Tour of Dharavi slum on any of our Willdland Adventures in India passing through Mumbai.

Here are six ways to do it:
Then find out whom to approach. If you want to appear in print or online, do some digging to determine the reporter or editor who covers the field you're pitching. You can simply call the publication or website and ask who that is plus contact information for him or her. For the email address, you can also check the Contact Us section of the company's site, or conduct a search engine query, typing in the name of the individual followed by the word "email."
You might also track down writers through LinkedIn or Twitter and send them messages through those social media sites.
Pitch time-sensitive stories. Rosenberg always gives her pitches a timely angle, such as year-end tax tips in December. When relevant news breaks — a tax law takes effect, for example — she jumps into action, sending emails that offer her up as a source who can decipher, in plain English, how taxpayers will be affected.
Use the same targeting methods as above to find the right editor or blogger. Then send a message via social media explaining your credentials and offering yourself as someone who could write about a timely topic of interest. Don't submit the whole article; just the core concept.

Walt takes back his words on the 3G iPhone
A few days ago, Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg raised the hopes of the Apple fans, by clearly saying that the 3G iPhone will be released "in 60 days". Now, he takes his words back, stating that he has no idea about the real release date and that his report was based on speculations only. His claim that if he knew the real date, he would have reported it in the WSJ instead of at a conference is logical. However, this doesn't exclude the possibility that he might have let the cat out of the bag.

Oh, it keeps getting better and better. All those people who wasted their time to get a $600 iPhone ... and now, on the cusp of getting a 3G capable device, they SNATCH it back... OOPS!!!! My prediction: They will release it within an appropriate amount of time but it will probaly need a ton of firmware upgrades... dooping a whole new crop of suckers.

Susan Rice wouldn't take my advice and stay away from the GOP Congress-critters.
So they bad mouth her even more after her meeting with them. "no good deed shall go unpunished." You can't be decent with the GOP. Period! Why Obama keeps trying is beyond me. The media is the GOP pocket, Wall Street, and practically all of the 1%. Or maybe it's the other way around.
And what is really curious about this entire Susan Rice-Benghazi stuff is that Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State, who has direct r responsibility over our embassies and consulate seems to be given a huge pass in all of this. I kinda figure Hillary really doesn't want to see Susan follow her at State. And I am not even certain that Ms. Rice wants to be SO. But the media is having a field day putting word in peoples' mouths and ascribing all sorts of motives to their actions.

2. To "Forward" I would like to humbly suggest that it be updated to: "Forward, now Bring It."
And I don't think Hillary has been given a pass, she's smarter than the average Democrat Bear and did what Republicans routinely and very successfully do ... ignored it as a non-issue.

5. Susan Rice is an intelligent and tough black woman.
She isn't backing down or afraid to meet with anyone. It takes strength and shows a lack of fear to face your enemies.
As to Hillary Clinton this is just another example of why I will never vote for her for president. In 2016 the democrats can run her and the republicans can run Jeb and for the first time ever I will vote for a third party and not a democrat.

6. I Think Rice Did the Right Thing by Meeting With Them
Even liars need an exit plan to save face and this is their way to get it. After being made to look like an idiot Mccain has already dropped much of the negative rhetoric about Ms. Rice. It will be interesting to see if she is nominated whether Mccain or Graham vote for her confirmation. A no vote will only reiterate what we already know about their feelings for strong accomplished women and provide further proof of the GOP's anti woman stance.

8. Yep, the last thing you want to do is back off.
I think Hilary is staying out of it because that's the way Ms Rice wants it. The Pubbies have done her a favor by making this her issue, not Obama's or Clinton's, it enhances her status to have such powerful enemies, and to win.

10. Requesting high level meetings with her outspoken critics takes them seriously, IMHO
I must say, this does not impress me as someone who would be tough in what can be a very adversarial global position. I was strongly for her nomination...now, not so much. It is not approaching the issue from the position of power...but from the position of need to gain approval...which automatically reinforces their power position. It is clear by their responses.

11. Every Cabinet nominee has to go talk to individual Senators.
That's how the process works.
And by going to see these idiots, in the long term, helps her because the GOP nuts have nothing.

12. Didn't realize that. But which ones particularly, she can't meet with all of them...
just her detractors? Seems that the McCain Trio has so poisoned this process that it's become like a contact sport. I thought that nominees appeared before like a congressional board or something and answered questions.

13. Nominees, and "potential nominees" usually do some one-on-one sessions
with Senators from both sides before they do official sessions before the various congressional committees.
They do sessions with Senators who they know will support them strongly, and also with those who are likely to oppose them. By doing so, the get an idea of the field of battle. Their supporters will help them build a defense. Help them craft responses for the official hearings.
McCain and Graham are a joke. And so it was smart of her to meet with them. Let them scream now, and then build a response for the formal committee hearings. She'll get beat up some now, but then get confirmed later. She wins.

15. I should also add that ...
As far as I am aware, a nominee, or a potential nominee is not required to hold such one on one sessions.
But .. . doing so seems to help. Particularly if the sessions are with the relevant committee members, or those who have significant influence over the committee members and their votes.
Usually, if you can get out of committee, you get confirmed. Usually.


text: Last Sunday, two left-handers finished 1-2 on the PGA Tour, only the second time it's ever happened. For decades natural left-handers were encouraged to switch to playing right-handed, mostly because of the lack of availability of quality clubs. Ben Hogan said he was naturally left-handed, as are Johnny Miller, David Graham, Curtis Strange and Nick Price (while Phil Mickelson and Bob Charles are naturally right-handed). Although their percentage among their golfing peers remains far short of the general population's estimated 10 percent left-handedness, the last decade especially has seen a big increase in the number of professionals worldwide who play from the "wrong side." Here are the five best ever.
