With the market for hybrid automobiles picking up steam, it makes sense for tomorrow's engineers to get a feel for designing and building cars powered by a combination of internal combustion and electricity. Hybrid technology is far from an exact science, however, as student engineers found out last week at the Formula Hybrid International competition held at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H.
Dartmouth College's fifth-annual Formula Hybrid competition called on student teams to conceive, design, fabricate, develop and drive formula-style hybrid-powered cars—weighing 180 kilograms to 270 kilograms—in a series of exercises testing their hot rods' acceleration, maneuverability and endurance. Before any car was allowed on the track, however, it needed to pass a technical inspection of its mechanical and electrical systems. Teams were also required to present a business case for their car as well as address their design objectives before a panel of judges.
These obstacles proved insurmountable for all but a handful of competitors. Of the 33 teams registered for the Formula Hybrid competition, only 21 showed for the tournament, a surprisingly thin field considering the event's past success. And when the rubber did meet the road, more than half of the teams failed their inspections, never even making it out of the pit area.
In the end Texas A&M University's team left competitors in its rearview mirror, followed by Brigham Young University, Lund University of Sweden, the University of California, Davis, and Dartmouth. Texas A&M was the only team on the track for all of the four main categories, which tested a car's electric-powered acceleration; general acceleration (fuel or electric); maneuverability and handling; and endurance—all over 22 kilometers (40 laps around the track). In 2010 14 of 24 teams competed in all four categories.
There were many reasons why this year's Formula Hybrid teams had difficulty passing inspection and making it to the track, but foremost was the ambitious approach that most took when designing their cars, says Dartmouth engineering innovation professor John Collier, also the Dartmouth team's faculty advisor. "I think the kids were reaching further by trying to have more complex technology, and that was much harder to make work," he adds.
Dartmouth's team, for example, could have based their car on "a perfectly good carbureted Honda engine," Collier says. Instead, the students this year opted for a fuel-injected system to improve gas mileage. The fuel-injected Honda engine, however, did not come with an electric motor starter, which made switching from gas to electric power more complicated. "So the students added an enormous amount of complexity just to get their car to run the way they designed it," he adds. The students worked until the eleventh hour preparing their car for the competition—the Dartmouth entry had never even made a test run under its own power prior to the final day of the competition.
Many teams eschewed straightforward approaches to marrying fuel and electric power. Instead, some designed cars with an electric motor for each wheel. "So all of a sudden you're trying to control four motors, and you know that if you don't control them separately it's going to be a very difficult thing to steer," Collier says. With four motors, "you also need a computer that senses what's going on at each wheel, which means you have to put a speed sensor in each wheel."
Students faced another challenge developing hybrids: The technology is still relatively new, so there are not a lot of standard components that fit a variety of designs. "There aren't any parts that you could take out of an existing hybrid and use in another hybrid," Collier says. "None of the parts are off-the-shelf connections."
It was a strange year, Collier admits, adding, "I think next year you'll see teams getting their cars ready earlier."

Its been a while since my last report, but heres an update. A couple of weeks back the bass really turned on with a lot of
big fish, but it only lasted a week before the big ones were gone and everything was small to mediums. But it was still
pretty good with a lot of fish, and too many bluefish. Then this past week things changed. Just in time for me to get out
and start using my tags.
Thursday we fished all day for four 8-10 pound fish and a bunch of blues. Down the beach off the village the gillnetters
were loading up, so apparently the fish had just upped and left us. Friday was the same, and the hope was that Saturdays
blow would bring some new fish in, but it didnt happen. Sunday some boats caught and some didnt. There are still too
many bluefish around, and probably will remain here for a while, at least as long as the water temps stay in the mid
fifties. Hopefully some new fish will move in shortly, especially since I still have over a hundred and fifty tags left.
Porgy season is closed unless you fish on the Viking. They purchased a set aside, which means they will be able to fish
for them for the rest of the month or until they catch the amount that they bought. Since they decide how many pounds
they caught on each trip, its unlikely that they will ever reach their limit.
The leader board in the Locals tournament is as follows;
1st Place - Gary Stephens - 32.60 lbs
2nd Place - Paul Greenwood - 27 lbs
3rd Place - Rick Girzadas - 26.20 lbs
1st Place - Xen Angelidis - 3.84 lbs
2nd Place - Ben Mccarron - 13 lbs
3rd Place - Taylor Harned - 12 lbs
1st Place - Phillip Schnell - 11.14 lbs
2nd Place - Griffin Kim - 9.1 lbs
3rd Place - Ryan Ward - 7.80 lbs
1st Place - Tina Ozturk - 19.64 lbs
2nd Place - Mary E Kane -14.26 lbs
3rd Place - Lorretta Sears - 12.80 lbs
1st Place - Mike Mlano - 61.44 lbs

Creating a Wet and Wavy Hair Look
By Jae Curtis
Love the way your hair looks when you're just out of the shower or pool? Water is naturally absorbed by the hair shaft, which results in a heavier texture, making curly hair look wavy and straight hair appear to be fuller. But you don't have to take a dip in the pool to get the wet and wavy hair look. In fact, by using the right products, you'll achieve a fuller, wavier look without weighing the hair down or rewetting the hair frequently throughout the day.
Wetting Hair
While your hair doesn't need to stay wet to achieve a wet and wavy hair look, it certainly helps if you wet your hair before you begin adding products. Products disperse more easily through wet hair and then dry for a more natural, crunch-free look. Trying to add mousse or gel to dry hair could cause the hair to become stiff. Take a shower or wet your hair completely before beginning the process for wet and wavy hair.
Drying Your Hair
The best way to achieve a wet and wavy hair look is by using a diffuser. A diffuser is an attachment that snaps onto the nozzle of your hair dryer that diffuses the actual wind from your dryer. Instead, heat is applied to the hair alone, which results in a textured look that helps to maintain the wavy look. Start by using a curl foam or mousse and distribute it through your hair as thoroughly as you would shampoo. Then, use the diffuser attachment on your blow dryer to gently cup the hair in an upward motion as you dry. The fingers on the diffuser attachment help create waves while the product keeps the waves separated for an authentic look.
Styling Your Hair
Finish off the wet and wavy hair look by blasting your hair with cool air from your hair dryer. This helps to set the waves. To perfect the wet look, use a glossing spray over the hair, which adds a shiny layer of light silicone to keep the hair looking wet even when it's dry. For a final touch, add a few messy braids or tuck a flower behind your ear to make the look beachy and authentic.

I found a computer to use for a few minutes. Whew! Computer withdrawal!
It came to me that if I rotate the four I Beams that form the skeleton by
90 degrees (so the H's are standing) and space the parallels with something like very strong standoffs between them, I could take advantage of E/G much better and do MUCH LESS machining.

Food Prowl is a yearlong look at what the city's restaurants have to offer. Each month, food writer Sarah Baker Hansen, and a few guest tasters, will name a new victor in the epic battle of food.

Coming in August: Omaha's best fried chicken
The Food Prowl team ate the eighth burger and argued.
It turns out cheeseburgers can be controversial.
Between bites, we sparred over juiciness, seasoning, buns, toppings, sogginess, meat flavor, grease levels and at what temperature a burger should be cooked.
We thought we knew who was going to win. We didn't.
It was a tie.
Note: Dive bar burgers and casual restaurants only. We'll prowl for high-end burgers down the road.
Dinker's Bar
2368 S. 29th St.
"This may be the perfect burger," Nick said.
Nick, our resident seasoning expert, said Dinker's passed the test for salt and pepper. The toasted bun impressed us. The patty held together but it wasn't too tightly packed. It was juicy, fatty and greasy, but not too much of any of the three. The flavor of the beef managed to still come through even between condiments. It was subtle but fresh and meaty.
"It's going to be hard to beat this," Michelle said. We all concurred, and kenw we had a front-runner.
1609 Farnam St.
After one bite, Nick threw his hands in the air and shook his head as he chewed.
"Winner!" he exclaimed. "Winner. It's a complete dish. It blows Dinker's away."
An vehemently disagreed.
"It's salty. It's too rare," she said. "The pickles are watery. The bun is off, but that's not a deal breaker."
It was the first burger we'd had that An didn't love. Her sister agreed: too salty.
The Vu sisters stuck to their guns, and to Dinker's.
The Dinker's burger, in my mind, was simply fantastic, but the Block burger was the finest example of meat I'd seen: oozing with juice, slightly pink in the center, tender and deeply flavorful. I loved the stack of condiments on the burger — it was messy in the best possible way.
The burger itself sold me. I love being surprised by something so unexpectedly delicious.
The Other Contenders
Stella's Bar and Grill
106 Galvin Road South, Bellevue
We thought Stella's was going to be the winner.
We all got the same thing: a cheeseburger topped with a fried egg.
Our four burgers didn't come on napkins, as is the Stella's way, and instead arrived in baskets. Immediately, my burger had structural issues: Half the patty fell into the basket after one bite.
And we all decided pretty quickly that there were some other issues, too: The burger vs bun ratio -- an unscientific term we made up concerning the size of the bun versus the size of the burger -- was off. I had a big wad of bun left in my hand after my patty was gone. An and Michelle did, too.
The Vu sisters both liked the texture of the hand-pressed beef patties at Stella's, but they didn't love the slippery base of tomatoes, lettuce and onions that made the burger slide out of the bun and required constant rearranging and gobs of napkins.
Nick, a self-proclaimed "salt man," said he could have used more seasoning. I could have used both more seasoning and more moisture in my somewhat dry patty.
"It's good, but it's also missing some essential elements," An said.
After our last bites, we all were a bit shocked: Was the juggernaut going down?
Papa Chris' Chicago Originals
7024 Maple St.
We went to Benson's hole-in-the-wall, dimly-lit bar and ended up with the straight cheeseburger, called the Louie burger. A layer of hot, melted cheese seared the top bun to the patty, and a thin layer of grease fused the bottom bun. The burger vs. bun ratio was spot on, though the patty itself was a touch greasy.
"This is a working man's burger," Nick said. "Totally divey."
We had an early contender on our hands.
Sinful Burger
4005 Twin Creek Drive, Bellevue
Sinful Burger's menu is devoted to burgers that emulate the seven deadly sins.
We went for the restaurant's signature, the Sinful Burger, a juicy lucy-style burger with the cheese packed inside the burger instead of on top.
The center of my burger oozed with melty cheese.
An thought the bun was too bread-like, but we all agreed the texture of the meat was good, and the melty, cheesy center surrounded by the nicely cooked meat seemed like a commendable feat of kitchen engineering. My one complaint: When I got to the second half of my cut-in-half burger, the meat had absorbed most of the melted cheese.
Louie M's Burger Lust
1718 Vinton St.
By this point, we were all suffering from a touch of burger fatigue. But we soldiered on.The patty seemed lacking in salt and pepper, and there wasn't any grease.
"Seasoning is the hardest thing about cooking," Nick said. "You have to dump salt and pepper on meat. It just has to be there."
"It's stripped down," An said. "Almost like an organic burger."
We liked what we found at Louie M's. But it also couldn't best Dinker's

"In Potrero Hill, Recology's garbage trucks regularly pick-up three kinds of waste – non-recyclables, recyclables and compostable food scraps – in familiar black, blue and green bins. Throughout Southeast San Francisco, the company collects trash from residential customers Monday through Friday, usually between the hours of 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., with occasional late night and early morning pick-ups for commercial clients on 15 main routes."
"Recology – formerly NorCal Waste Systems – is a privately-held firm that has a monopoly on collecting the City's trash, at least in part based on a 1932 voter-mandate. The company transports recyclables to Pier 96, off Cargo Way, to be sorted and processed. At the recycling facility "hiring preference is given to residents in the 94124 and 94107 zip codes, good paying union jobs that start at $18 to $20 an hour and where drivers can earn $100,000 a year. That's what going to zero waste is all about," said Kevin Drew, San Francisco Department of the Environment's (SF Environment) residential zero waste coordinator, "creating green jobs, and reducing the need for landfill in the future."

Patrik Ervell
It looks like the CFDA Awards have something in common with prom-queen battles from most '90s films: There's a whole lot of campaigning to determine who gets the title. By the time the Council of Fashion Designers of America hands out its awards in early June each year, many camps have already worked overtime to get enough votes for a win, according to WWD. The 2010 nominees were announced earlier this month, and already, several designers have already stepped up their presence in the fashion circuit.
As WWD points out, some designers plan appearances at extra events, re-submit lookbooks and occasionally have their PRs email contacts to ask for votes directly. Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts apparently submitted 100 or more "For Your Consideration" emails supporting Christopher Bailey's win for the CFDA International Award.
That said, some newer designers don't see the point of campaigning. Patrik Ervell and Joseph Altuzarra can't wrap their minds around it, and Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone describes the concept as "more of a turn off than a turn on." We're guessing we won't be seeing him on the campaign trail anytime soon.

As a UK based Diamond Club member, you can use our new Diamond Club website www.diamondclub.org
As a UK based Diamond Club member, you can use our new Diamond Club website www.diamondclub.org
Please read our FAQ's for SWP below. Or alternatively visit www.diamondclub.org where queries can be submitted using the 'Contact Us' section.
The Diamond Club moved to a UK only programme on 31 December 2012. As a result the Diamond Club programme outside of the UK and South West Pacific closed on this date. As a UK based Diamond Club member you can continue to collect destinations miles with a MBNA Diamond Club credit card from MBNA. For customers based in SWP, please refer to the SWP FAQ's
Any existing bookings you have with any Star Alliance airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Qatar, Jet Airways, Transaero, British Airways or with bmi regional will be honoured and you can travel as planned. Due to the fact that bmi is no longer a member of the Star Alliance, and Virgin Atlantic is no longer a partner of the Diamond Club, you will not earn any destinations or status miles on any future bookings with these airlines.
Unfortunately you will be unable to amend any existing bookings you have with any Star Alliance airlines or with Virgin Atlantic. You can choose to cancel any future award bookings you have with any previous or existing bmi air partners at any time.
As a Diamond Club member based outside of the UK, if you choose to cancel an existing award booking after 27 October 2012 you will receive a full refund of any cash and destinations miles paid when the booking was made.
The normal refund policy will apply for any cancelled award bookings. You will receive a full refund of any miles and cash paid for the booking. Any refund of destinations miles will be made into your Diamond Club account.
You can only earn destination miles through spending on the MBNA Diamond Club Credit Card.
You will be able to continue collecting destinations miles after 27 October 2012 using a MBNA Diamond Club credit card account from MBNA.
You can no longer earn destinations miles with the Diamond Club on flights, therefore if your Diamond Club number is linked to a future British Airways flight booking you should update your booking with your Executive Club number in order to earn Avios and Tier Points through your Executive Club account instead.
If you would like to redeem destinations miles after, you will have to transfer them at a rate of 1:1 to Avios with the Executive Club. You can then redeem your Avios for flights with British Airways, oneworld airlines and British Airways partner airlines, hotels and car hire. For SWP please refer to the SWP FAQ's for further details.
In order to transfer destinations miles to Avios you must be a member of the Executive Club. Please ensure that the details on your Diamond Club and Executive Club accounts match, including name, email address and date of birth – this will allow us to process your request. To request the transfer you must log into your Executive Club account, select 'update my details' from the left hand navigation menu and then select 'Combine my Avios' from the list of options on your screen. To complete the request, simply follow the instructions on your screen.
You can continue to transfer destinations miles to Avios until further notice. Please note that you will only be able to collect destinations miles using an MBNA credit card from 27 October onwards. In order to redeem destinations miles collected through your MBNA Diamond Club credit card account from MBNA, you will have to transfer your destinations miles to Avios.
As a non-UK based Diamond Club member your account is now closed.
If you tier matched within the Executive Club you will have been given your new tier status for the remainder of your existing Executive Club membership year, and the full membership year following.
As a SWP based Diamond Club member you can log into your Diamond Club account and check your mileage balance online at www.diamondclub.org
If you would like to redeem destinations miles after, you will have to transfer them at a rate of 1:1 to Avios with the Executive Club. You can then redeem your Avios for flights with British Airways, oneworld airlines and British Airways partner airlines, hotels and car hire.
As we do not have an Executive Club programme in Australia or New Zealand, we advise you choose one of the following options available:
Existing Executive Club Members
If you are already an Executive Club Member registered at an address outside of Australia and New Zealand, or would like to register as a new member with a valid address in a country where we have an Executive Club programme, you can transfer your destinations miles to Avios using the Combine My Avios tool by logging into your Executive Club account on.
Temporary Enrolment in the Executive Club
If you do not have an address outside of Australia or New Zealand, we will be happy to enrol you as a temporary member so that you can transfer your destinations miles to Avios, which you can then spend on flights, upgrades, hotels and car hire*.

December 3rd, 2012: Here's something embarrassing! The first collection of the Adventure Time comics I wrote debuted at #3 on the New York Times Bestseller list for graphic novels weeks ago, and I didn't even notice! I ONLY FOUND OUT JUST NOW. So if you write a book and it ends up on the NYT bestseller list, it's not like they tell you or anything. Contrary to popular belief, they don't send you a cake in the mail. All you really get is a sudden desire to overtake The Walking Dead for the #1 spot, and the satisfaction of delayed popularity notification.
Anyway that's awesome and I am pretty chuffed! To make sure the best gifts ever in time get to you when you want them, here are the HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES. Orders placed before these dates will get to you in time for Christmas! – Ryan
December 5th: All shipping methods except U.S.P.S. First-Class Package International Service� are safe.
December 6th: International orders made not selecting U.S.P.S. Priority Mail Express International� shipping will likely arrive in January.
December 11th: USPS FIRST CLASS and STANDARD may not make it in time and neither will USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL.
December 16th: ALMOST NOTHING IS SAFE. USPS EXPRESS is the only safe USPS option.
December 19th: A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (IF THINGS PLACED ON OR AFTER THIS DATE ARRIVE BY THE 24TH, THAT IS)

We have recently launched a website, and we are now going through the promotional phase of 'getting the word out'. One of the ways we are doing this is by writing a series of quality articles to promote it. The website is in the 'investment and personal finance' space.
We are trying to come up with a list of 'target websites' that we will be using to publish the previously mentioned articles.
Ideally, these 'taget websites' will be websites with high visibility (i.e. page ranking) and high traffic. My initial thought was www.ehow.com, but we are thinking that perhaps, it is not 'focused' enough (since it seems to cover everything from aromatherapy to zoos).
The main (i.e. obvious) desirable characteristics for a target website where we will publish our series of articles are:
- target audience
- 'footfall' (daily unique visitors or similar traffic proxy)
The problem is that we are not likely to know the traffic numbers of our target websites (or is there a way of finding at least a reliable proxy for the traffic numbers)?
My question(s) then can be summarized as follows:
- How may I formulate a plan to help me select 'target' websites to publish my articles on
- Which is more important (traffic volume or target audience) - 'adult' themed sites excluded of course
- Can anyone suggest some sites that would be a good place to submit/publish good quality articles (initially, these articles will be focused on an introduction to trading, but over the course of several weeks, they will become more specialized/advanced).

Show our series this weird but revenue on the table.
How long -- development.
-- significant spending.
And that was house speaker John Boehner on Friday the day before his birthday.
-- After leaving a White House meeting with the president and other congressional leaders Republican and Democrat talking about revenues and as you know Internet.
Means that somebody wants to increase taxes.
And when they say to act when they direct taxes that I -- cutting them.
So that's as you know that perfectly well now this is power play and I -- Chris -- well.
And welcome welcome to studio three Internet as we prepare to.
Give thanks for all of the goodness in this nation we will also trying to decipher.
What John Boehner means when he says that and what is he really capable of getting passed through a very conservative House Republican Conference.
What -- the president do and all of that stuff as it relates to.
Though fiscal clue on palm.
We will talk about -- crunch time for big labor.
And what the 2012 elections and the twinkie the kids death by pitch in a shoot out.
And other things that -- -- to these days.
Portend for the future of big labor and America.
We will also talk to one of your favorites congressman Henry -- off.
From the great state taxes and he will talk about what Democrats are looking for a deal -- what he himself wants to be on the fiscal -- -- -- -- well that you and I know you.
Because his PowerPoint -- everything.
But you -- you may not enjoy any of it.
More than getting for the very first time to meet Jonathan strong he's -- staff writer for roll call and Jonathan covers.
The house leadership right and that's what you do that's right you've covered intimidate us that the rest of America shots they're trying to avoid them for -- -- and 92% of Americans say.
I don't wanna know you -- I must now to show that year we we appreciate your fortitude.
So from this universe of the house leadership what can you tell us about what John Boehner wants to do.
And what's -- able to get.
Through -- conference what he's doing something really Smart here which is to put forward this framework to President Obama -- this so what.
It's a concession -- -- more than he's put on the table before right.
But it's still ambiguous and there's still a lot of details to be filled in and he's putting -- team President Obama.
And that lets them look at whatever the president puts on the table and go to his conference to see how they feel about it.
Because his big problem is going to be losing 5060.
Maybe even up to seventy and eighty conservative votes on his right.
Flying but it goes both ways right that.
For Boehner he can either start with the -- try to keep as many Republicans as he can.
War and nobody knows -- likes to do this but you start with something that the other party that you can get the majority of the other party to go for and then try to pull people out of your own party to go over.
Right and what -- I -- in the last congress we saw a bunch of big ticket items like the debt ceiling deal.
Where it was something the majority of the Republican conference was on board and he was just losing some of its right point.
I don't think he's gonna try to do that other scenario where he goes for somebody missed the majority of the Democrats for me is a Republican House he would kind of face a revolt on his hands.
So he's gonna have to find something that can originate.
-- -- Republican side of the I'll write it but how many votes can he lose what what's what's the magic number here where it gets to be a a failure vs a success we saw.
Big ticket items passed with sixty Republican defections in the last congress.
That seems to be the magic number you can get Steny Hoyer -- on the democratic side to pull in a bunch of the moderates to vote for it to get it through the house right.
You start to lose more than that I mean if you get up 200 Republican defections.
And if it becomes a very dangerous situation for speaker Boehner because he's now going against the will of the majority of its conference.
So the and the big question now in the Internet -- -- and that's no -- The Internet knows that the big question now is is there any chance of putting together -- -- deal now.
Or is are -- in a definite -- thinking -- -- -- the definite kick the can situation where basically status quo gets extended for a number of months while they work at a bigger.
What they're talking about is a down payment.
Deal -- those guys are talking about that right yes okay so did the discussion is around a short term.
Down payment deal that gives some of what you want to do done.
Before the end of the year right and then that you you set up a framework for the longer term.
Big deal to be connected over the next year -- time and that would include taxes on the -- you you can't actually do tax reform.
This December it takes too long because -- it's a huge big lobbying you know.
Fight with all the special interest and so is not gonna happen in the amount of time that they have.
So in order to get the kind of big deal you're looking the horizon is out to the you know -- Twitter to -- would definitely lose.
I assume more than sixty votes on any legislation that -- -- tax rate increase right now if there's any tax increase is you -- more than six Republicans right I think so.
But the Republicans are a little bit and tail spin mode right now after the election.
And -- I'm kind of waiting for the backlash of all this talk of concession and let's pass immigration but I haven't seen -- yet in the house besides a few backed ventures.
Well I think Boehner is certainly we've -- data consolidate.
Our sense getting reelected as speaker -- you notice that that in in -- Boehner won the speakership.
There was.
And and nearly open feud between Eric Cantor and John Boehner right it's sort of was like be the worst kept secret.
In congress was that the friction that existed here.
I've heard a lot less of that this time around and as a matter of fact I noted that it was cantor who nominated Boehner for speaker at this time that's -- to -- -- symbolic move to say.
That's buried hatchet.
Oh yeah there I mean they're going overdrive on the whole I don't know what -- -- telling Obama in a private meeting that there's no distance between that.
One of the key factors in that interestingly was a couple key personnel changes both invaders office and in Kantor's office that reduced a lot of the staff level victory that ended up creating the impression on the hill and in Washington that there was conflict there.
And I wonder who you could be talked about -- I wonder what person.
-- about the I'm glad you're always welcome on the show.
And I like Brad everybody yeah.
Everybody -- -- he plays.
He's a hockey player he plays hard he's right he's not afraid to cross check.
A little bit but I I think obviously.
The the need for Republicans.
To -- now there -- got to be strong self preservation.
Feeling here that the Republicans know that if they -- it's going to be works right.
There is a sense that that we can't have these.
You get kind of really really brutal internal battles on all these big items like we do last congress.
The promise you you you say that and then you get to the actual moment.
And there's principles the people -- really dearly on the line and you're not willing to just let that go and so you end up having the fight against -- it's over these key ideological principles.
Ideological principles we've we've never traffic controllers your power -- you know that this is cynical politics exclusively.
And Jonathan thank you for helping us -- thanks very much -- stage -- that -- his last -- if that is your real last name -- -- is refers more to you -- characteristic personal characteristics -- a -- that is common with -- when you say there is no chance.
But putting together a -- -- now quite so quite say shot and -- Okay we're gonna take a quick break but when we come back we'll talk to you a little bit more Internet we will be joined by -- of your very favorite analyst Bradley and and -- will be here.
And more and more excellence raw political excellence lies ahead for you Internet so stick around.
And that's what it looks like when people really do not like Wal-Mart America's largest retailer.
And this is power play.
And Internet you may be getting ready to go shopping at Wal-Mart actually probably gonna do your shopping online -- the Internet.
For a lot of Americans -- will be the destination of choice this week as they go to try to get their -- me Elmo or whatever it is that's the thing this year than you crock -- for grandma.
And they're gonna be heading out to these stores and as they go in a lot of locations are going to be met with protesters now Wal-Mart.
Is asking National Labor Relations Board.
And perhaps courts to intervene and say that these protesters who are affiliated with the unions that have been trying to organize Wal-Mart since -- -- like 1981.
That they're gonna ask them to be enjoying them to prevent them from doing that this is the latest sort of risky gambit that we're seeing from organized labor.
Because let's face it the reality.
For big labor and America is that it's been a long decline since the glory days of the late 1950s when organized labor was at the zenith of its powers and membership in this country.
And it they have been facing new challenges.
Cycle after cycle decade after decade and now.
The fight is really boiling over so.
What's gonna happen what does it mean what's the consequence for the political parties and for you -- tickle me Elmo.
Bradley knows.
You know why -- -- because.
He is a professor at the Georgetown University which -- very well but at the same time he also used practical bare -- The politics himself.
-- bush fair and the younger.
-- -- There's too because she's a Democrat and Democrats and unions.
Each other that is very important you don't have a lot of democratic victories without union elbows and ground troops.
And financial assistance and and he was former senior advisor Harry Reid.
Who by the way owes his continued service in the United States that -- culinary union.
Yes and by the way if you wanted to see the best evidence -- -- what labor unions can do for Democrats Harry Reid's victory in 2010 he was marked for -- he was basically like even his own party it's a good.
But many in his own party and had assumed that he was -- but.
And he'd he'd beat a weak Republican nominee -- beat her soundly yet thanks to an incredible search by organized labor.
In -- Nevada so the question is this.
I've heard about this today and it.
I am I confess I totally blowing my own vehicle but I wrote today in power -- which you can simply for the cost of the following me.
That's he's barrel on Twitter just do it it's so -- lineup.
That I wrote today that unions had a good and bad 2012 they had a good 2012 they re elected Barack Obama.
It really wanted to do that they spent a lot of time and money doing that.
A date so they can they can be happy about that they're gonna get some help on the National Labor Relations Board and other things that they wanted they prevent Republican gains in the senate.
On the flip side.
On the state level where they were where they spent most of their money and most of their time they only have.
Three wins that they can really credit New Hampshire where they preventative governor coming -- -- put it right to work.
Michigan where they got a split decision.
They're trying to get a constitutional amendment that -- collective bargaining part of the state constitution.
But then they lost on that but that one on one repealing a collective bargaining limitation.
But then California is that 78.
Million dollars -- -- five million dollars in California.
To block.
As something that dealt with that would have.
Basically the shorthand for -- to be to be very crass here would have.
Blocked donations going from government worker unions directly to Democrats which is basically -- the center of the character herself.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Okay and what's that what's the state what's the state of the unions.
Well -- you know with the unions have always been robust and you saw this year play out many times -- that they play -- almost every election cycle.
And that is they are.
Keenly invested in the political process and they are keenly invested to make sure that they.
Help they need those leaders that will actually that you know to their benefit that will actually support the causes in which they believe in supporting the you know the values in which they treasure -- even even seeing your senior activity it's really not much more than usual but -- delisting that was -- seventeenth.
Then I think everybody has to recalibrate on -- also Scott Walker.
And ended there was a resounding defeat on their -- -- so they re calibrated after that I mean everybody was senior -- publishing going after the recount.
They did they forged ahead and for them to come back again with the drafters of this on California -- -- it really.
Obama love Obama would like -- know -- I understand but it was important -- that they because they -- -- to -- -- -- and a total disaster -- advance -- up.
-- what we're seeing play out is is we're gonna see Hotmail -- or more as.
As there.
And it as they will continue to -- -- those that are left of the leaders that will help them with the laws and the values which.
Brad there are now 24.
To -- states.
In America with Republican governors and Republican legislatures.
That's not usual normally it is the historical trend is -- you get a lot of Republican governors and that way it sort of goes up and down.
Along with the national cycle.
And then you have state legislatures are typically are are usually the Democrat Democrats and usually -- -- on the state legislative.
Level -- no coincidence that government worker unions are deeply involved in things like state senate races.
But this is an unusual moment -- -- going to be a lot.
Many walkers and many Wisconsin is out there among these Republican governors and Republican like.
Just like you -- because -- try to balance your budgets.
Collective bargaining agreements are are really the noose around state budget cycles.
Union public unions and in the type of entitlements they're paying is really.
To balancing the state budget and -- state contracts -- so out of whack with the private sector.
And went and when a government should try to balance their books you have to have and look for concessions from public unions so yes there's going to be battles there but.
Most importantly card check which -- again pres Obama promised to deliver has not been delivered on the national level that's not.
It's never gonna happen but it Democrats they -- -- overreaching.
And -- -- thing is look at the battles that unions and have placed even in the holiday season Hostess Twinkies.
Ladies and one thing.
Yeah it -- -- Eleven when it gets it shows the over reaching and and the -- take a laser twinkies they get really doesn't say I -- twinkies last night thinking that was my last week either but I at least I heard that the unions are coming back into the.
That's good because Obama has dedicated to -- take care of your health care -- and -- I don't know how many.
-- unions unions have historically over reached and they're doing it again this holiday season with protesting Wal-Mart so you gonna start shouting -- -- By the way it has nothing to do with the labor dispute that's ongoing but this is this is.
Offense that they're going to people with no labor dispute shouting at people as they go into quite -- Christmas -- you know Merry Christmas idiot that's yeah.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- is saying that there's going to be some -- Bet there's going to be more now it's not going to be who right now there's the gap between the cuts that are sought by Republicans -- -- but you already hear the members of organized labor.
That are facing this problem on the state level.
That are facing declining numbers in the private sector are saying now the federal government is gonna cut more -- means fewer government jobs -- government workers can.
Richard Trumka and others really effectively pressure the president in this situation or heard is that are his -- -- Indeed they can't and they will they -- -- will be -- police immediately cuts won't be as -- maybe they won't be as severe reading it won't be as broadening those kind of things incident that.
5% across -- only be three NASA this they're not affected as much that that's where it's going to be in the margins.
It's not going to be in the overall austerity -- austerity measures are going to be coming we're gonna be -- reduction.
Just spending -- BC in a reduction of services that will be provided so that cuts are coming.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Folks we thank you -- Much for your time today you Smart patriotic and fair minded as we all as the Internet has come to expect of you thank you have a good Thanksgiving.
Internet we have to -- a quick break but when we come back congressman Henry Cuellar will join us.
And we'll talk about what the democratic threshold is on this big budget deal -- what he himself to make radio.
Wants in this deal so we'll talk about that when we come back so stick around.
And back is money a lot of other.
And that's exactly what the federal government needs right now to balance books continue to fund government operations and do things like do you pay for defense programs social programs.
-- this power play so -- gonna get wearable Uncle -- come up with all of those greenbacks.
Republicans and Democrats are strikingly conciliatory.
Sounds -- there's trying to sound conciliatory.
Because they know that did business community and folks at -- are absolutely terrified of what happens if -- stalemate again.
And so the question is what can fly what can actually work.
You know who knows that.
Henry Cuellar is a congressman from the great state of Texas.
And he is somebody who can see around the corner pretty well as a moderate Democrat congressman welcome back to the show.
-- -- -- -- Hello hello OK so here's the question let's start let's start with the way our -- What would you like to see in a planned for the fiscal cliff for taxes for the debt ceiling for all of this stuff that's looming out there.
Give us the overview of what the -- our plan would look like.
-- -- that was sort of what they conceptual.
Framework that we have to agree on.
There are there are some things that we can agree on there's something -- we have to negotiate.
But I would first start out with a framework that struck court appointed to represent that Democrats and Republicans the president of out -- -- we ought to -- the other thing so we can negotiate.
Second of all we got put everything on the table.
Support ships we have on the table of them all we can bargain at that time.
And a -- he has no matter how difficult it becomes.
We can't pick up the football and walk away we got to make sure we -- there -- -- we -- out an agreement.
At the end of the -- what it says is you're so -- we we realized that we can get and saw that he felt.
But if we reach an agreement a conceptual put some sort of down payment down a -- and revenues.
And then let's look at trying to do there is at the window of opportunity.
So congressman weeds.
-- understand that from Republicans when they talk about.
People pay more taxes they're talking about closing loopholes.
And -- Democrats by and large talk about people pay more taxes they're talking about raising rates are talking about raising marginal tax rates.
Why this why does this.
Conceptually matter so much is it shouldn't be target here being just what the dollar amount is.
And I agree I mean I think Fiat dollar amount -- we -- a conceptual framework we gotta agree -- How much 'cause we're gonna do to look at what the revenue should be so we can reach a a way to reduce down the -- -- that they get our house back in order.
Then we can talk about those agree those difficulties and idol -- difficult is it to the one side.
You know the Republicans want to just look at just closing loopholes.
Then on the other side Democrats some Democrats won a race the rate up.
I wanna see bars what can we agree on and it -- get to that goal because if we don't set a goal and we started looking at this pretty.
Bit of a forest we're never gonna get there.
Now one of the things that Republicans say is that with the the retention of a substantial Republican House majority.
That they have passed the threshold.
I'm dealing with entitlements that because so many of them voted for the Ryan budget where the Ryan budget blueprint and Democrats ran against them.
-- fiercely on the question of making changes to Medicare not Medicaid and Social Security.
That because of those things.
That this does that -- they have the mini mandate if you will for making entitlement changes part of any budget deal.
Down the other aspect you have the F precedent that that he has the mandate for any -- that he can really.
Raise the taxes on the -- just so they're from the perspective of the Republicans -- think there have been many mandate.
