Comments Off on MegaCon 2104 Gets SHI Exclusive Visit
Press Release:
March 18, 2014
Bayport – New York
March 1994 saw the debut of Billy Tucci's modern-day samurai fable, "Shi", when "The Way of the Warrior" #1" first hit the comic shelves and created an unlikely self-publishing smash hit that still resonates to this day. Illustrated by Tucci, co-written with Peter Gutierrez, and colored by Barry Orkin, "Way of the Warrior" transcended independent publishing with a unique melding of Japanese mythology, history, and action not seen before in comics and inspired a host of imitators.
Now after twenty years, three Eisner award nominations and 3 million copies in print, Shi kicks off an anniversary celebration tour with a new series and rare exclusives.
"All of our London exclusives have sold out and now we're planning more extremely limited books and prints exclusive to the conventions I'm attending this year." Tucci noted, "And I can't think of a better way to kick off our Shi 20th Anniversary Celebration Tour than at a show very near and dear to my heart, MegaCon!"
The tour's American leg begins this weekend in Orlando with the exclusive the "Shi – Way of the Warrior #1 MegaCon 20th Anniversary Edition" book and lithograph. Both are limited to only 25 editions with each signed and numbered by Billy Tucci.
MegaCon will also see the American debut of the "The Shi – Way of the Warrior #1 20th Anniversary Sketch Cover Edition" and all-new exclusive Shi lithographs.
Tucci concluded, "I cannot believe it's been twenty wonderful years since Shi's debut on the world stage and the original MegaCon Tampa show in 1994 was my first comic convention so this is going to be a great homecoming."

On Monday, North Korea returned a student from South Korean who is attending New York University who was held by them since April, said officials in Seoul. Joo Won-moon the 21-year old student was handed to authorities from South Korea in Panmunjom the border village of North Korean said officials in South Korea at the Unification Ministry.
In May, North Korean officials announced that they had arrested Joo on April 22 for an illegal entrance into the country from neighboring China.
A number of interviews were then arranged as well as news conferences in Pyongyang where Joo told international news media that authorities in North Korea were treating him well.
Now that Joo is back in South Korea, he will likely face interrogation on charges of violating National Security Law which bans all South Koreans from visiting North Korean without permission from the government.
Joo was interviewed by an international news network in May that broadcast the interview of the permanent U.S. resident, who is attending NYU.
He said he was hoping to bring about a change in relations for the better between the two countries by entering illegally into the reclusive country to the North.
On Monday, the government of South Korea welcomed the decision of the North to return Joo but again demanded the North also release three more citizens of South Korea who were held much longer than Joo, including one missionary who was sentence to life at a hard labor camp.
South Koreans repatriation from North Korea is nothing unprecedented. Last year during September, North Korean returned a man from South Korea who fled to the North to escape difficulties he had economically.
In 2013, the government of North Koran also returned six men from South Korea after they had entered for the same reasons.
Over the last two decades, 28,000 people from North Korea have defected to South Korea, fleeing political repression and hunger in the reclusive country.

Why recycle your business waste?
Save money
The true cost of waste is up to 4.5% of turnover. Avoiding expensive landfill costs by recycling more could save you money.
Environmental Benefits of Recycling
Reduces greenhouse gases such as methane, produced when biodegradable material is landfilled.
Saves raw materials and energy. Recycling just one glass bottle saves enough energy to light a 15 watt low energy efficient bulb (equivalent to a 100 watt normal bulb) for 24 hours.
Save raw materials, meaning less virgin resources are used, preserving the environment for future generations.
Tips to reduce waste include:
- Set your printers to automatically print on both sides, reducing paper waste
- Reuse scrap paper for notepads
- Use re-usable mugs rather than plastic or paper cups
- Refill printer cartridges
- Sign up to the mailing preference service to reduce unwanted mail
- Reuse boxes, envelopes and packaging material
Once you have reduced your waste as much as possible, think about who may be able to reuse it.
Strong boxes and packaging material may be of use to people moving house, or someone who does a lot of online selling – why not offer them on an online waste exchange site. Furniture and electrical items may be suitable for reuse – why not offer them to a local charity shop or furniture reuse group. There are also organisations in Somerset who refurbish computer equipment for charities and people on low incomes.
There are a number of scrapstores in Somerset, some of whom offer free collections from businesses of clean, safe, waste materials that would be suitable for art and craft projects such as paper, card, textiles, foil, leather, wool, foam, plastics etc – contact them to see if you are producing anything they can make use of.
Your legal responsibilities as a business
It is the responsibility of businesses to ensure that the waste they produce is correctly disposed of and the business should make sure that any contractor used is correctly licensed to handle that waste via the Environment Agency web site.
Duty of Care
All businesses, no matter what size, should have a trade waste agreement with a registered waste carrier or take their refuse to a site licensed to accept trade waste; they have a duty to ensure that any waste produced is handled safely and within the law. 'Duty of Care' applies to anyone who produces, imports, transports, stores, treats or disposes of waste from business or industry.
Businesses must ensure that:
- All waste is stored and disposed of responsibly
- Waste is only handled or dealt with by people or businesses that are authorised to do so or delivered to a site licensed to take it.
- Records are kept of all waste that is transferred or received for at least two years
For more information on Duty of Care and your responsibilities see right Waste, right Place at www.rightwasterightplace.com
Pre-Treatment of Waste
Since October 2007 updated Landfill Regulations now mean that no commercial waste can be disposed of at landfill unless it can be demonstrated to have undergone a treatment process.
The simplest way to provide this treatment is to separate waste for reuse or recycling. This can be done at source by the business, or by your waste collection service provider, which may incur additional costs.

Many critics have erroneously claimed that the Reagan and Bush tax cuts only benefited the wealthy. The truth is that ever since Reagan, the rich have borne an ever-increasing share of the tax burden while the poor have been removed entirely from the tax rolls, says Investor's Business Daily (IBD).
According to a study by the National Center for Policy Analysis:
- From 1986 to 2004, the total share of the income tax burden paid by the top 1 percent of income earners grew by nearly half, from 25.8 percent to 36.9 percent.
- Over that same time, the burden of the bottom 50 percent of earners was almost halved from 6.5 percent to 3.3 percent.
The Tax Foundation has noted that in 2000, a year before the first tax cuts under Bush, roughly 30 million tax returns had no income tax liability. Every dollar those earners made they kept.
By 2004, a year after the second round of cuts was passed, 43 million returns had no tax. It estimates that, in all, more than 25 million Americans have been wiped off the federal tax rolls just by President Bush.

ARGENTINE President Cristina Kirchner has asked compatriot Pope Francis to mediate in the Falkland Islands' dispute with Britain at the new pontiff's first talks with a head of state, as world leaders flew in for his inauguration mass.
"I asked his intervention to promote dialogue between the two sides," Kirchner told reporters on Monday after meeting Latin America's first Pope in the Vatican, warning against a growing "militarisation" in the South Atlantic.
Kirchner noted that late Pope John Paul II had mediated in a similar dispute between Argentina and Chile - when the two countries nearly went to war over the islands of the Beagle channel in 1978.
Argentine media have quoted Francis, former archbishop of Buenos Aires Jorge Bergoglio, as telling reporters in 2011 that the Falklands, known as the Malvinas in Argentina, are "ours".
British Prime Minister David Cameron said earlier that he "respectfully" disagreed with those comments. In a referendum this month, 99.8 per cent of the islands' inhabitants voted to stay British.
The sparsely populated archipelago triggered a war between Britain and Argentina in 1982.
"We have a very different historic opportunity now, much more favourable. In both countries, Britain and Argentina, there are democracies," Kirchner said.
The new Pope when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires had testy relations with Kirchner in Argentina, particularly over legislation on gay marriage, abortion and transsexual identity.
Kirchner's late husband Nestor had called him "the true head of the opposition" because of his behind-the-scenes meetings with political leaders.
But Kirchner and Francis appeared to have avoided sensitive issues, with the president saying simply: "He's our Pope."
The Argentine Pope - the first non-European pontiff in nearly 1300 years - is still haunted by criticism from leftists in Argentina for failing to speak out during the military era's "Dirty War" (1976-1983) when he was head of the country's Jesuits.
The Vatican has firmly denied claims that he failed to protect two Jesuit priests who were tortured by the regime, saying that he had in fact protected lives during the dictatorship.
The controversy has failed to dampen enthusiasm in Rome over a disarmingly informal style that is unusual in the Vatican and some bold statements by Francis in the early days of his papacy.
He has called for a "poor Church for the poor", has warned cardinals against worldly glories and has said the Church could crumble away "like a sand castle" without spiritual renewal.
The leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics will be formally inaugurated on Tuesday at a mass in St Peter's Square, with the Vatican expecting hundreds of thousands of people.

Trademark registration fees to double
UAE Cabinet Decision No. 9 of 2015 (the Decision) has doubled the official fees for registering trademarks with the Ministry of Economy's trademark office (TMO) in the UAE. The Decision, which takes effect from 29 May 2015, marks a huge increase in the trademark official fees, which were already considered one of the highest in the world.
The fees have been increased as follows:
- Search fee - AED 250 to AED 500
- Application filing fee - AED 500 to AED 1000
- Publication fee - AED 500 to AED 1,000
- Registration fee - AED 5,000 to AED 10,000
- Renewal fee - AED 5,000 to AED 10,000
Similar increases apply to other forms of intellectual property. It is unfortunate that these substantial increases may force applicants to think twice before applying to register their IP rights in the UAE.

Industry players continue to blames the introduction of the GST from July 1 next year for the slowdown, as buyers hold off making purchases.
The industry expects prices of new cars to drop by about 6 percent under the GST, with the price tag of a $30,000 car to be reduced by more than $2,000.
However, the chief executive of the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries, Mr Peter Sturrock, has warned repeatedly that there is probably no benefit in car buyers waiting until the GST is introduced because trade-in prices will also fall, counteracting the benefit for a customer upgrading to a new model vehicle.
Official figures released on Saturday by the FCAI show sales of new vehicles of 61,256 in October - down 6.6 percent on October 1998, when sales reached 65,583.
Sales of passenger cars were particularly hard hit, with 42,162 sold in October, down from 48,317 in the same month last year.
On a year-to-date basis, total sales valumes of new cars and trucks for the 10 months to the end of October reached 644,069, down 3.3 percent on sales of 665,830 for the same period in 1998.
Holden retained its position in October as the top-selling marque in Australia, achieving sales of 12,714 vehicles, although its sales softened in line with the trends in the broader market.
Toyota was next, with 11,436 vehicles sold, followed by Ford with 9,434 and Mitsubishi with 5,822.
The car industry is still lobbying hard for transition assistance from the Federal Government to lessen the short-term impact of the slowdown.
However, it has forecast a boom in sales to 950,000 vehicles annually in 2003, once the new tax regime has worked through the economy.
Total sales in calendar 1998 were a record 807,000 and are expected to reach about 760,000 this year.
Stock levels at the Australian vehicle manufacturers are at unprecedented highs.
Companies such as Ford and Mitsubishi have scheduled production shutdowns to help reduce stocks.

Navi Mumbai, Maharastra India (PressExposure) July 18, 2007 -- Bharat Book Bureau, a leading market information aggregator has put forth a report- Advanced Measurement Approach to Operational Risk ([http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=9599])
Advanced Measurement Approach to Operational Risk firmly focuses on practical solutions to modelling issues.Helps you set up a strong programme with quantification in mind, providing good quality information for modelling, in order to deliver the numbers you need for regulatory approval, and deliver value to your business lines.Advanced
Measurement Approach to Operational Risk Presents many complex topics in a highly accessible manner.
Advanced Measurement Approach to Operational Risk Five comprehensive sections succinctly guide you through the following
key topics:
The AMA framework: Outlines a general approach to constructing an advanced measurement approach framework within your firm â the basis upon which any op risk model is built. It provides essential doâs and donâts as well as step-by step guidance on how best to achieve the goals of your op risk programme. It covers such crucial areas as
data selection, granularity, correlation, and diversification.
Modelling basics: Gets you fluent in the fundamentals of operational risk modelling with discussion of general concepts and an analysis of the main mathematical models regularly used to analyse loss data.
Modelling challenges: Shows you how models can be adjusted to overcome limitations in the underlying data. It includes practical guidance on loss data capture, the effect of data gaps on parameter estimates, expected and unexpected loss calculations and the use of extreme value theory to help mitigate some of the data problems
associated with operational risk modelling. Crucially these complex topics are presented in an accessible manner, with plenty of thorough explanation to help you digest and implement the content.
Alternative modelling approaches: This section gives you a general framework for thinking about qualitative elements and their role in modelling - including scenario analysis, key risk indicators, and how to overcome the challenges in the modelling of less tangible risks, such as technology risk.
Comparative views of implementation: To help you gain a broader understanding of how your colleagues around the world are implementing their op risk solutions â the final section contains an overview of an op risk framework at a US bank, plus implementation studies from Spain and Germany. The German study unveils the results of a major industry survey, outlining âreal worldâ practices in financial services firms, including the strengths and shortcomings of firmsâ approaches to solving key op risk challenges.

Classes are held throughout Ocean County including Capt. Mike's home base in Island Heights, Island Beach State Park and on the Toms and Manasquan Rivers
We meet at a convenient arranged spot for students here in Ocean County then we take a short drive to a fishing location either salt or freshwater for your class.
Fly tying and Intermediate caster classes (custom shooting head building) are held at the A.F.F.S. Fly Arts Trailer Shop located in Island Heights.
New Jersey though one of the smallest states and the highest population density, amazes
every one that comes and spends some time on it's waters. From pretty mountain creeks
and the mighty Delaware River in the north west part of the state to the beautiful Atlantic
Beaches or the quiet Pinelands in the south. There are lots of places to fish and to learn fly fishing.
AMERICAN FLY FISHING SCHOOLS Is based in Island Heights, N.J.
located along the beautiful shore of Barnegat Bay. One of the "fountains" of American saltwater fly
fishing history.
Classes are held at: Island Heights & I.B.S.P. NEW JERSEY depending on the weather GOOD WEATHER = OUTDOOR CASTING CLASSES BAD WEATHER = INDOOR FLY TYING CLASSES Remember to check out our Show dates on the UPCOMING EVENTS Page
2017 - N.J. FALL Class Dates
with Capt. Mike
Emphasis is on basic casting, knots, lines, leaders, equipment selection and lots of information on salt
water flyrodding techniques. A day with us will provide you all the basic skills needed to start catching
fish with the fly rod. Our students for the last 10 years have told us consistently that we do not charge
enough money for the knowledge and experience we provide them. Many have made that statement to
us after having attended some of the "Big" name Schools and have then come to us for "further
instruction". We have been involved in the sport of saltwater flyroding for over 50 years..
The focus at this level is on distance casting and the use of shooting head systems for salt water
flyrodding and big freshwater situations. Student casting problems are video taped and worked on with
your instructors advice. Custom shooting head systems (fly lines) are discussed and then tailored to the individual requirements..
We offer two different freshwater Classes locally. One for trout and salmon fishing in Rivers and
streams and the other for fly fishing in Ponds and Lakes for "Warm Water" fish. Each class is a half day
(4 hour program) that introduces you to the fundamentals of fly fishing and the various flies used to catch gamefish. Hands on knot tying and tackle selection are explained in detail. The first half of the
class is devoted to individual instruction in the basics of freshwater fly casting. The second half of the
class is spent on the water learning the various techniques used for catching either trout or
"warmwater species" like bass, bluegills, crappie, pickerel, carp and other species..
We charge $150 per student for our all day Saltwater School which includes soft drinks,
water and snacks plus a full lunch at the historic 3'C's luncheonette in Seaside Park
(The birthplace of the first saltwater fly fishing club in America). You will need to bring
your waders, salt water registry card, polarized sunglasses, sun block, insect repellant and
appropriate clothing including a waterproof jacket. All the necessary fly fishing tackle and
class equipment is provided by our gracious sponsors and American Fly Fishing Schools.
You should bring along any saltwater fly fishing gear you may already own for an evaluation
of it during your class.
We prefer to have our students spend the time and the little extra money it costs to take
freshwater lessons with our affiliated A.F.F.S. member instructors in northern New Jersey.
They are better prepared than we are for most fresh water species. The waters in North
Jersey are better suited to trout fishing. However we do offer half day fresh water lessons
here in Ocean County for students that do not want to travel and also for students that seek knowledge about our local ponds and streams. We charge $100 for these classes. Water,
soft drinks and snacks are provided. You will need boots or waders, freshwater license with
a trout stamp, polarized glasses, sun screen, insect repellant and appropriate clothing
(long sleeved shirts/jackets are best).

Series: American School of Prehistoric Research Monograph Series
Edited By: Daniel Lieberman, Richard Smith and Jay Kelley
305 pages, b/w illus
This volume, published in honor of the occasion of David Pilbeam's 65th birthday, covers major topics in human, primate, and mammalian evolution, mostly from the Miocene to the present. The papers emphasize novel interpretations of several key areas of longstanding interest and importance, including Miocene biogeography and hominoid evolution, the origins of hominids, and new interpretations of the hominid fossil record.
In terms of content, most of the papers tackle key issues in the evolution of hominoids and hominids in terms of systematic paleoenvironmental and behavioral questions. More broadly, however, the papers explore the epistemological problems of how one interprets the past from the available data.

Amritsar: District Amritsar unit's coordinator of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Shetal Singh Chachowali and more than 50 of his supporters on Friday deserted the party and joined Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). They joined SAD in Majitha, a constituency in the district and met SAD candidate and Cabinet Minister Bikram Singh Majithia, who welcomed them into the party fold. Majithia also presented siropa (robe of honour) to Chachowali, who vowed to
work for SAD and to ensure his victory.
Later, talking to media persons, Chachowali alleged that they were fed up with the prevailing culture as well as the style of functioning of the BSP high-ups.
He asserted that the rank and file had no say in that party and only top brass had been dictating terms. The former BSP leader also flayed the BSP's state leaders saying that they never came forward to redress the grievances of its members.
He further added that on the other hands, SAD always believed in alleviating the sufferings of its activists and serving the masses and each section of the society, irrespective od its caste, creed, and religion. Chachowali also pointed out that the SAD-BJP combine had ushed the state into an era of unprecedented development and made a record development during its ten years regime in Punjab.
The former BSP leader stated that SAD-BJP alliance would sweep the ensuing assembly polls of the state and would return to power for the third successive term in the state.

Karadzic ends genocide trial boycott
Wartime Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic has ended a months-long boycott of his genocide trial, defiantly declaring that a conflict that left 100,000 dead was "just and holy".
Addressing the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the 64-year-old said he would use his trial "to defend the greatness" of the Bosnian Serb republic that emerged from the 1992-95 war.
"I will defend that nation of ours and their cause that is just and holy," said a confident and measured Karadzic as he made his opening statement from the dock in the courtroom in The Hague.
"We have a good case. We have good evidence and proof."
Karadzic has pleaded not guilty to being responsible for an ethnic-cleansing campaign of Croats and Muslims in the Bosnian war in which 2.2 million people were displaced.
His opening statement is scheduled to be delivered over two days.
"I stand here before you not to defend the mere mortal that I am, but to defend the greatness of a small nation in Bosnia Herzegovina, which for 500 years has had to suffer and has demonstrated a great deal of modesty and perseverance to survive in freedom," Karadzic said.
Karadzic is accused of colluding with the late Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic with the aim of creating a "Greater Serbia" that was to include 60 per cent of Bosnian territory.
Serbs made up about one-third of Bosnia's population at the time.
Among the charges against Karadzic are the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of more than 7,000 captured Muslim men and boys and the 44-month siege of the capital Sarajevo that ended in November 1995 with around 10,000 people killed.
He had refused to attend the opening of his trial in October, insisting on more time to prepare his case and causing a four-month delay.
Arrested on a Belgrade bus in July 2008 after 13 years on the run, Karadzic faces life imprisonment if found guilty.
The court in November appointed British lawyer Richard Harvey to take over the defence if Karadzic opted to continue his boycott of the court.

Autism, ADHD/ADD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, learning problems, allergies and asthma are common overlapping conditions. Dr. Campbell-McBride says she's hardly met one child who only suffers from one condition. When working with patients with mental disorders Dr. Campbell-McBride noticed that there is one factor which unites all of the patients; the state of their digestive system. In 2010 she talked about GAPS Syndrome at the Wise Traditions Conference in London.

Broder on Politics
Friday, December 5, 2008; 12:00 PM
Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and Washington Post columnist David S. Broder was online Friday, Dec. 5, at noon ET to answer your questions about the world of politics, from the Obama transition to the contested Senate seats to developments in the White House.
The transcript follows.
Broder has written extensively about primaries, elections, special interests and the business of politics. His books include "Democracy Derailed: The Initiative Movement & the Power of Money," "Behind the Front Page: A Candid Look at How the News Is Made" and "The System: The American Way of Politics at the Breaking Point."
Archive:David Broder discussion transcripts
Takoma Park, Md.: Do you think Obama will use his political capital during his honeymoon period to push quickly for expanding programs to reduce the numbers of uninsured, or will he be so constrained by the financial meltdown that he'll only be able to make a modest "down payment" on health reform?
David S. Broder: I am starting a little early today because I must finish at 12:45 eastern time to make a 1 p.m. interview out of the office.
welcome, everyone.
I have been told that Mr. Obama may use an expansion of SCHIP--the children's health insurance program--as a "placeholder" for larger health care reform, but that he and Daschle are inclined to go for a "breakthrough" proposal in this Congress, not wait for the economy to right itself before they proceed.
Columbia, Mo.: Lots of commentators are maintaining that the Obama picks show a "center-right" inclination, and are surmising that this means that he will not follow through on his campaign themes. I recall that those of us on the "center-left" consoled ourselves in 2000 that the Bush appointees were "moderates" like Colin Powell, Christine Todd Whitman, etc., only to find that they were either loyal foot-soldiers or marginalized, or both. What do you think the chances are that the Obama picks will be more liberal than their track records once they get in office?
David S. Broder: The economic policy team will undoubtedly break records in spending, because of the stark need to stimulate this failing economy. The national security team will have its hands full with Iraq, Afghanistan, India-Pakistan and other trouble spots, so I don't expect anything but coping mechanisms from them for a while. I always thought Obama's rhetoric about governing from the center needed to be taken seriously, so I have not been surprised by the appointments--except for Hillary Clinton, a surprise in terms of personal dynamics.
Buffalo, N.Y.: Since many of Obama's nominations suggest continuity more than change in foreign policy, what are the chances that the U.S. will use the diplomacy card with Iran has only a ploy before a surgical strike at its nuclear and military facilities?
David S. Broder: I have heard nothing from the new team that supports that thesis. I think they will exhaust the diplomatic and sanctions route before contemplating any such step.
Falls Church, Va.: Your column on state spending is a classic example of reporting only half the story. You failed to mention that the states that are in fiscal trouble today indulged in enormous budget increases during the boom years. By contrast, states that managed their spending more carefully in recent years are not facing fiscal disaster today. There is no reason why taxpayers in fiscally-responsible states should be obliged, through a federal bailout, to pay for the mistakes of the more profligate state governments.
washingtonpost.com: Addressing the States' Dire Straits (Post, Nov. 30)
David S. Broder: I don't know where you find examples of "profligate" spending. In my state of Virginia, two moderate Democratic governors working with a Republican lower house have passed prudent budgets, but now the bottom has dropped out of revenues and they are facing a need to slash spending. That has been the pattern across the country, as far as I can tell.
Leominster, Mass.: Hi David, thank-you for taking my question.
Can you comment on the rather "under the radar" story regarding President-elect Obama's location of birth. Will the Supreme Court hear this case and if so what are the potential consequences ?
David S. Broder: I do not regard this as a serious controversy and I can't imagine it ending in the Supreme Court.
Boston: As a financial analyst, I am not allowed to go on TV or be quoted in a paper without disclosing conflicts of interest.
However, on a daily basis I see and hear Sen. Shelby (R- Mercedes SUV), Sen. Corker (R-Nissan Pathfinder), and others with very big stakes in our auto bailout talks being allowed to spin their side of the story without any mention of their conflicts.
As a reader/viewer I know the bias that an official from Michigan brings to the table. Why do the other guys get off scot-free?
David S. Broder: You make a good point about the senators from states which have attracted large investments from foreign car companies. But it's commonplace for senators to reflect home-state interests without ever acknowledging that.
Eugene, Ore.: If, at least figuratively, you put a gun to Congress's head, would it be able to tell you where and how the billions in taxpayer bailout money handed to the financial and insurance industries is being used right now? If not, why not?
David S. Broder: The answer is obviously no, and one reason is that the board of monitors has barely beguyn to function and another is that Congress is in the slack period between old and new, preoccupied with housekeeping matters.
Fairfax Station, Va.: Former DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe has been talking about a run for governor of Virginia in 2009. How do you see his chances?
David S. Broder: I know he will have plenty of campaign resources, but I think he faces a tough challenge against two opponents for the Democratic nomination, both better rooted in Virginia, and a potentially strong Republican.
Chicago: For Columbia, Mo. and anyone else concerned about how "right" or "left" the incoming Obama Administration leans -- with all the real problems facing this country and the world, please just thank your lucky stars that competent, effective people are once again filling these posts, whatever their personal politics. Think how much worse it could be, and has been. Thanks.
David S. Broder: A good message.
Natick, Mass.: The CEO's from the automotive industry who are in Washington asking for money will promise anything to get bailed out. I don't think they really are capable of turning their companies around, particularly GM. It's CEO has run the company for a long time, ignoring the real world situation. (Hello, there's a war in the Middle East, isn't that where the oil comes from!) Under it's present leadership, GM is incapable of recovering. I give the best chance to Ford which is a better managed company. Chrysler has no chance but probably be sold either to Ford or GM. The cultural problem at GM of they know what's best for the public goes back many generations.
Do you think they should be bailed out? If so, what demands should be made for any such help?
David S. Broder: I think we cannot afford to let the domestic auto industry die. I say that as one with strong ties to Michigan, and many friends in that state. But I think it is equally true from a national perspective.
I hold no brief for the current management, and new leadership could well be a condition of any government bailout.
RE: Boston: David, Yes, it's common for Senators to reflect their home-state bias without mentioning it, but it should not be common for the media to allow that bias to go unreported. Senator Shelby has assumed the role of the biggest critic of helping the US Auto manufacturers and there has been (unless I've missed it) reporting on the benefit competitors in his state would gain if Detroit fails.
David S. Broder: I agree.
Health care Initiative: President Obama has been simply brilliant at maneuvering for a quick and successful strike at health care reform in this country. Firs he lines up a former Senate leader to get legislation through. Next he uses Change.gov to get hundreds of thousands of Americans invested in the change. He has his most prominent health care people kibitzing online with the average Joe!
Coming up are scheduled small events with millions of Americans talking about health care reform (again through Change.gov). Finally he has been so conciliatory and expansive towards the GOP that when they try to block him they will be turned into Newt Gingrich circa '95-96. This is a guy who really thinks at a high level both strategically and tactically.
David S. Broder: I agree.
Minneapolis: Boston's questions wasn't about the Senators not disclosing their conflicts of interests (we expect them not to point such things out), it was about the media's failure to call attention to that fact.
David S. Broder: See above.
Reston, Va.: Henry Waxman will replace John Dingell as Chairman of House Energy and Commerce Committee...Does Waxman's new job make it easier or tougher for President Obama and Congress to approve meaningful health care reform? And why?
David S. Broder: Both men are longtime advocates of health care reform, and either would be (or would have been) a potent ally of Mr. Obama.
Raleigh, NC: Any insights on who Obama might name to the NY Fed?
David S. Broder: No clue.
Delmar, N.Y.: With NBC about to announce a new moderator for Meet the Press, I was curious to your views about the current format as compared with the original concept. Currently I think the title of the show "Meet the Press" is a misnomer. It is now a one person interview show with the only participation of "the press" in post-interview discussions. As someone who has a longtime association with the show, which format do you prefer, and which provides more information to the public which I would think should be the primary purpose of the show?
David S. Broder: I liked the old format, and enjoyed the challenge of preparing questions for guests. But I do not consider myself an expert on TV formats, so I don't question the judgment of the producers who have opted for the new arrangement.
Arlington, Va.: Thank heavens the President has a master's degree in business administration. Imagine how bad off we'd be if he was less educated? Seriously, have you ever seen, in such terrible economic times, a president so seemingly removed from leadership? (And that's not said disparagingly of the president, just seemingly.)
David S. Broder: I think President Bush is probably realistic in recognizing that his own credibility is so low that the country is better off with Hank Paulson as the visible leader on the economic recovery efforts. I doubt that Bush can be of much help at this point.
Oakland, Calif.: Dear Mr. Broder, As an astute and longtime observer of national politics, what's your take on the political future of Sarah Palin? While it's true that she is widely viewed as a lightweight, she's also much admired by the Republican base, and that's a real factor. You once observed, rather oddly, that she did fine against Sen. Biden during their debate, so I'm also wondering if you today have the same view of her that you did two months ago.
David S. Broder: I have not changed my mind about the Biden-Palin debate. As I said during the last chat, I think Gov. Palin clearly has a future in the GOP because of her strong appeal to the religious right, which has become an even more important part of the Republican base as the party has shrunk. But she was poison in 2008 to independents and well-educated Republicans and has a lot of work ahead of her to overcome their opp0sition.
Laurel, Md.: Who was the top vote-getter in the Democratic Presidential primaries who doesn't have a job in the Obama administration yet?
David S. Broder: John Edwards, but he is unlikely to be rewarded.
Albany, N.Y.: All these government bailouts, loans, etc make me concerned that if the economy tanks even more and these bailouts don't work, that the loans won't be repaid and the government itself will teeter on the risk of bankruptcy. Does this make any sense?
David S. Broder: My financial betters tell me that it is virtually impossible for the government to go bankrupt. The worst that can happen is a flight from the dollar, eventually leading to revaluation.
Anonymous: The "controversy" over Obama's location of birth is spread by conservatives on Internet blogs, etc. One posting in response to a Washington Post blog said that the Supreme Court IS going to rule on Obama's eligibility to hold office (obviously the court is not). Birth records aside, some people love to believe in conspiracies or, perhaps more accurately, like to believe they are somehow privy to important information not known to others (preferably inforamtion reinforcing their own political beliefs). People of all political persuasions engage in such frivolity. Now, if we can just get to a real controversy, such as Area 51 . . .
David S. Broder: Thanks for explaining a weird phenomenon.
Bowie, Md.: Are there any politicians who have yet had the courage to say "What these bailouts amount to is creating inflation to increase the nominal value of all those houses that loans should never have been made against"?
David S. Broder: I haven't heard any such statement, and I'm not convinced that the public at large is to blame for what is happening now. When people are offered easy financing on home purchases, it's not a surprise that they take it. I hold the banks and mortgage lenders much more culpable.
Princeton, N.J.: Did you see the article in the Times that showed there is no possible way to determine to determine the winner in the Minnesota Senate race? Every scientist will tell you that every experiment (like an election) has a margin of error and that if the result lies in the margin of error, the experiment gives no (zero, nada, zilch, ...) information. This is what happened in Minnesota (and in Florida in 2000).
The amusing thing is that being a progressive state, Minnesota has a way to deal with this problem. They toss a coin! What d'ya think about dat?
David S. Broder: I did see that opinion piece in the Times and found it persuasive. It could come down to a coin toss.
Fairport, N.Y.: Not long ago, you said that the Bush administration had been an abject failure in nearly all regards. Has the economic crisis strengthened that opinion? And does this make you regret your more-or-less support for Bush in 2000? Does it make you rethink your negative appraisal of the administration that preceded Bush (Bill Clinton)?
David S. Broder: There are many authors in government of the current economic meltdown, both inside and outside ehe Bush administration. A couple points: I did not implicitly or explicitly support Bush (or Gore) in 2000; that's not my habit. And my criticism was not of the Clinton administration but of President Clinton himself, for throwing away three years of his second term for a foolish indulgence.
Reston, Va.: What do you think is in Charlie Rangel's future, given the ethics...issues...that are coming up?
David S. Broder: Congress will be very reluctant to throw the book at the well-liked Mr. Rangel, but he probably faces some form of criticism or discipline.
Rochester, N.Y.: I've enjoyed many of your recent columns. Do you have an opinion about the size of the Obama stimulus package? Many of your colleagues on the Post opinion page are stressing fiscal austerity, which others have lampooned as "neo-Hooverism." What are your thoughts?
David S. Broder: Everything I have heard indicates that the Obama team will err on the side of large rather than small. I think they are terrified that this meltdown could turn into a serious depression.
Albany, N.Y. : I used to agree with you that, if Iraq reached a miraculous stage of recovery in say ten years or so, that Bush would be evaluated better than he is now. I no longer think so. Katrina, the devastating wars and universal scorn for this country that he caused, and this financial mess which has made Europe even madder at us than they were about the wars, are his legacy. If it wasn't for the tax cut and some good initiatives against AIDs in Africa, the cupboard would be totally bare. He's definitely in James Buchanan/Andrew Johnson territory.
David S. Broder: You make a very strong argument. It is still my belief that Iraq, his biggest gamble, will have more to do ultimately with his reputation than anything else.
New York : The other thing about these Senators whose states have given sweetheart deals to foreign auto companies to locate there is that there seems to be no hint of irony when they present themselves as the preservers of laissez faire purity. Does this mean that South Carolina is going to demand that BMW return all the tax and other financial sweeteners that they gave them to put the car plant in that state? Incredibly, it seems that many in the GOP, at this early stage of the problem, are going to start emulating Herbert Hoover as their model for dealing with this coming depression. The car controversy is just the first indication of this. If Obama fails, some of them see that as their ticket to revive the party.
David S. Broder: I don't know what motivates the senators we have been discussing, but I disagree with their view that nothing should be done to help the domestic auto companies. That is really cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Atlanta: it doesn't matter where Obama was born -- his mom was a citizen, he's a citizen...get over it.
David S. Broder: Thank you.
Detroit and Banking: I wonder if people opposed to the automaker bailout are equally concerned with the lack of oversight for the banking industry, who who were supposed to use their bailout money to unfreeze lines of credit. The Big 3 would be at least a little more able to help themselves dig out if their customers could actually secure loans.
David S. Broder: Good point.
Re: Area 51: Okay if President Obama comes clean with the American people on what is going on at Area 51...that will be Change We Can Believe In!
David S. Broder: It must be a full moon, given the direction this morning's chat is taking. Could we return to Earth, please?
Alexandria, Va.: In your first draft of history, how would you rate this President Bush in your rankings of President that you have covered?
David S. Broder: That is hard to answer. In terms of personal qualities, I would rate Jerry Ford very highly; in terms of effectiveness, Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan. This president is not high on either count, so he probably comes in toward the bottom.
Ellicott City, Md.: It seems to me that the airline industry is another money losing industry that is probably more important to the US economy than the auto industry. Why shouldn't they go to Congress for a bailout? More importantly, how do we get away from suicidal "too big to fail" companies?
David S. Broder: I personally think airlines belong further back in the line than newspapers and media companies. We need information at least as much as we need to fly around. To be serious, the airline companies appealed for help and got it after 9/11, and certainly have a claim on our assistance now if they need it.
Rockville, Md.: Acceptable error range?
Good grief!
These are votes. You count them. You declare a winner.
No wonder I dislike the Times.
David S. Broder: Unfortunately, there are votes and votes. Paper ballots proved too much of a challenge for some voters in Minnesota (as they do in other states) so the winner of this Senate election really may be beyong deciphering.
Re: 2000 election: You write "I did not implicitly or explicitly support Bush (or Gore) in 2000; that's not my habit."
Let me rephrase my question: do you regret not being more skeptical of Bush when he was a candidate? In retrospect, wasn't your acceptance of the uniter-not-a-divider stuff a bit credulous?
David S. Broder: I have often said that I badly misjudged George W. Bush. I did not see him as someone with a radical agenda at home or abroad, and I can certainly be judged credulous for translating his work in Texas and his campaign rhetoric into a belief about the kind of president he would be.
Ocean City, Md.: Have you seen Michael Moore's suggestion that for the amount of money the big 3 are asking, the federal government could actually own them? The CEO's of these failing companies would then be replaced, and (similar to WWII when the companies were told to make planes and tanks) the manufacturing could focus on primarily producing fuel efficient cars, as well as public transportation (trains and buses). Do you think this is at feasible/possible, and would congress ever consider something like this as an option?
David S. Broder: I am not a big fan of Michael Moore economics, and I see no possibility that Congress will adopt his ownership model.
New York : Lyndon Johnson popped up in the news yesterday, when one of his tapes, where he was referring to Nixon's intervention through Ms. Chennault in 1968 in the Vietnam Peace talks, as "treason." Flaws and all, LBJ was a remarkable man, and probably the president who changed America more during my lifetime than any other, unless you're old enough to have been alive during the New Deal. Have you read any of the Robert Caro books?
David S. Broder: I've read all the Caro books, and particularly admired the last one, about Johnson's Senate years. You are right in point out how much he changed the country--for better and worse.
Reston, Va.: Yesterday's WaPo chat with a GM VP could be summed up as "our cars are great, and the banks got their money...where's ours?!"
Please tell me that the people making the case for the Big Three are doing a slightly better job than this person!
washingtonpost.com: The Big Three: Counting on Aid
David S. Broder: I didn't get to see the chat, so I can't comment on that. I thought their testimony yesterday was a lot better than the earlier version.
New York: A professor from University of Chicago, Sebastian Gay, talked about saving them for the sake of saving a symbol of US culture but forcing them to forge alliances. Do you think it would work?
David S. Broder: I don't claim to know what the structure of a revitalized auto industry should be. I think that question is probably better left to the marketplace.
Flint, Mich.: The root problem with the Detroit Three is the legacy costs. UAW retirees pay NOTHING. No premium, no co-pay -- no incentive to prioritize their health care.
I'm all for keeping them out of bankruptcy, but Congress has to hang tough for a while until there are concessions along those lines.
David S. Broder: The UAW has already offered substantial concessions and probably knows that more will be demanded ot it. I am not for driving workers or retirees into poverty as a condition for helping the companies.
Riverdale, N.Y. : Looking back, my take is that the selection of Cheney was the biggest flaw. If Bush had picked someone like Tom Ridge for VP, we might have seen a lot more of that Texas governor that no one felt was particularly reckless or threatening. That would have given greater scope to Powell, that's for sure. Oh well.
David S. Broder: That's an interesting point. I have resisted the theory that Cheney has been the secret driving force in this administration, but Bart Gellman's reporting certainly shows how widespread an influence he wielded.
From Minnesota: Regarding the senate race here, some of the ballots were not filled out properly, i.e. an "x" written instead of filling in the oval, or circling the name. If people aren't smart enough to fill out a ballot correctly then their vote really shouldn't count anyway. Harsh I know but really people, learn how to vote.
David S. Broder: That's why I like the touchscreen machines such as we have in Virginia. They eliminate some of the vagaries of handwritten ballots.
St Paul, Minn.: Go to mpr.org and take a look at some of these "disputed" ballots. Some are truly indecipherable, like filling in an oval halfway between the names. Others are pretty clearly for one or the other, and yet they are challenged to make a case.
David S. Broder: Thank you.
LBJ: Have you listened to any of the recently released tapes from 1968-69, which cast him in a somewhat more sympathetic light? He is another president brought down by an unpopular, unwinnable war. However, he did manage to pass the Civil Rights Act and had a strong career as Senate Majority Leader as part of his legacy.
David S. Broder: Vietnam was a tragedy for all concerned, but LBJ was an extraordinary leader on domestic affairs, and, as another reader said a few moments ago, really changed the country in profound ways.
Seattle: What do you think of Caroline Kennedy as a candidate for Hillary's Senate seat?
David S. Broder: I have no idea if she is interested, but she would be welcomed to the Senate/
Follow-up on "Home State interests": I think that you expect a Senator, Governor or other official talk up their state's interest. What is troubling is that the loudest and most prominent voices against a bailout all come from states that represent foreign automobile interests...and that interest is not as obvious as someone from Michigan talking up Detroit; California and movies; or Florida and beaches.
David S. Broder: I think that point has been well made by several of you who joined the discussion today.
Washington, DC: Having seen firsthand the dynamic leaders of the 1960s...Robert Kennedy, John Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr., what do you make of Obama being compared to these figures?
David S. Broder: Barack Obama's contributions to this country are just beginning; his achievements so far are almost entirely measured in his remarkable political rise./ I don't think we can begin to measure him against other historical figures until we see what he can achieve in office.
Re: Leominster's Comment....: You said that you cannot imagine the birth certificate controversy ending up in the SC. I hope you are right. But it is troubling that Clarence Thomas has agreed to look at it.
Speaking of imagination, before 2000, would you have ever imagined an election being decided in the SC? One never knows what will happen...
David S. Broder: You are certainly right that one never knows what will come next. But for me, an interview is next, so I must sign off now. Thank you, everyone.

Latics leap back top
By Mark Kendall
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Latics, who started the day level on points with Sheffield United, took advantage of the Blades' reverse at Millwall to move clear at the head of the table.
Paul Jewell's men were made to work all the way to claim the three points, but an Andy Liddell (pictured) spot kick was enough to settle the contest.
The former Barnsley hit-man won the penalty after being brought down, and picked himself up to coolly convert.
Sheffield United fell to their third defeat of the season to a Millwall side whose caretaker boss Dennis Wise endured a bitter-sweet afternoon .
Second half goals from Neil Harris (penalty) and Paul Ifill hand the player-manager a win in his first game in charge, but the former Chelsea midfielder saw a straight red card just three minutes after coming on as a substitute with five minutes remaining.
That ensured the South Londoners ended with just nine men after David Livermore also saw red for two bookable offences minutes earlier.
West Brom moved up a place to second after yet another 1-0 home victory, this time over high-flying Norwich.
Welsh international midfielder Jason Koumas was the hero for the hosts, curling home the all-important goal ten minutes before the break.
Sunderland jump a place to fourth after also triumphing 1-0 at the Stadium of Light, Marcus Stewart was the match-winner for the Wearsiders, netting on 37 minutes to see of Walsall who finished a man short after on-loan Chris Baird was given a straight red card.
West Ham will be kicking themselves after failing to take maximum points from Trevor Brooking's last match in charge at Upton Park against Burnley.
The hosts missed a hatful of chances and in the end were forced to conjure a late equaliser to claim a 2-2 draw.
David Connolly put the Hammers ahead early on, but Burnley came roaring back with second half strikes from Delroy Facey and Ian Moore, however Don Hutchison hit a superb late leveller to earn a share of the spoils.
Ipswich Town's turnaround in Division One continues following a 1-0 victory over Stoke City in the late Saturday kick-off at Portman Road.
Matthew Richards scored the only goal of the match two minutes before the break, after volleying home unmarked from six yards out, as Stoke's defence was nowhere to be seen.
Joe Royle's men then controlled the match in the second half and had plenty of chances to score again through on-loan Finnish international Shefki Kuqi and Spanish striker Pablo Counago.
But it was The Potters that nearly snatched a point when Keith Andrews's late strike inexplicably hit both goalposts and stayed out after it beat Town goalkeeper Kelvin Davis.
The win takes Town to sixth in the table after winning six matches in their eight following a slow start to the new season in the First Division while Tony Pulis's side remain in the bottom half of the table.
Reading left it late to edge past Preston with Nicky Forster netting in the final minute to secure a dramatic 3-2 win.
Ricardo Fuller and Graham Alexander (penalty) twice gave the visitors the lead, but twice Reading fought back through Shaun Goater -a penalty, for which Marlon Broomes was sent off for a second yellow card - and Jon Mackie.
Forster then popped up with the final whistle approaching to send the Royals' fans home happy.
Nottingham Forest heaped more misery on basement boys Wimbledon with a crushing 6-0 success at the City Ground.
Marlon Harewood grabbed a first-half brace to claim his tenth and eleventh goals of the term, and Andy Reid added a third on the stroke of half time.
Gareth Taylor, Michael Dawson and wes Morgan all then got their names on the scoresheet after the interval.
Crewe comprehensively beat Derby 3-0 at Gresty Road with goals from Andrew barrowman, Dean Ashton and Ben Rix.
Crystal Palace were held to a 1-1 home draw by Rotherham, Dougie Freedman cancelling out Chris Swailes' opener, while Watford squeezed past Bradford City at Vicarage Road with veteran defender Scott Fitzgerald getting the only goal of the game.
Match summaries:
Crewe 3-0 Derby
Crystal Palace 1-1 Rotherham
Ipswich 1-0 Stoke
Millwall 2-0 Sheffield Utd
Nott'm Forest 6-0 Wimbledon
Reading 3-2 Preston
Sunderland 1-0 Walsall
Watford 1-0 Bradford
West Brom 1-0 Norwich
West Ham 2-2 Burnley
Wigan 1-0 Gillingham

The Reverb's classic lines are a perfect match to the sleek style that is driving urban cycling. The light-yet-tough In-Mold shell wraps around to the inside of the helmet to resist dents and dings from life on the streets, and a self-adjusting fit system eliminates the need to dial in the fit. The finishing touch is a removable cycling cap-style visor that accents your style without compromising ventilation.

By combining a supple elastic fit band at the back of the helmet with fixed-position straps, it automatically adjusts to cradle your head once you set the system to one of the three different circumference settings.
A great helmet is so comfortable that once it's on, it virtually disappears. Our proprietary three-size Super Fit system is based on "human scale factors" data and over 20 years of crafting helmets for the best bike riders in the world. The result is pure Skull Hugging Luxury™, a helmet that fits 98% of the world's population, yet looks (and fits) like it was custom made just for you.
