text:
This past week, my colleagues Matthew Miller and Dave Gaultier respectively made compelling cases for Bobby Jindal and Marco Rubio as the next Vice Presidential nominee of the United States. Few subjects in politics interest me more than Veep discussion, so I decided to follow their lead and stump for my preferred running mate for Gov. Romney: the esteemed Congressman from the Badger State and visionary House Budget Committee Chairman, Paul Ryan.
I'll begin by addressing the commonly cited downsides of Ryan-as-VP. First, some, such as Mr. Miller himself, have argued that putting Ryan on the bottom of the ticket would divert attention away from the top and essentially make the election a referendum on the Path to Prosperity (and if I have misrepresented Matthew's position, I'll stand corrected). I used to agree with this. However, in recent times, it has become obvious that Mitt's healthcare – and, by extension, deficit – proposals largely mirror Ryan's. Therefore, when considering the harsh scrutiny Republican presidential nominees receive during general election campaigns no matter what, I submit to you that having Ryan on the ticket wouldn't make much of a difference. And in fact, if Mitt seeks to turn this election into a choice between two noticeably different visions for America's future – a possibility I will examine later, his campaign may actually welcome the added attention, as it would reinforce the notion that they endeavor to offer the American public serious solutions to serious problems.
Along these lines, many have fretted the possibility that Romney's running mate could eventually overshadow him, a la Sarah Palin and John McCain. However, when we consider the other "dream" running mates Republicans have most often cited for the Governor – Rubio, Jindal, Chris Christie, and Ryan – it becomes rather clear that the Chairman appears far less likely than the others to outshine Mitt in personality, charisma, or background. Ryan obviously brings extraordinary strengths to the table, but he doesn't provide Christie's edge-of-your-seat excitement, Rubio's inspiring oratory, or Jindal's jaw-dropping record of achievement and competence. This may provide more of a good match than a conflict with Romney's seemingly risk-averse nature.
I've made it no secret that I harbor a fondness for the Cheney/Biden VP model – of a Washington insider (excuse the dirty word) with an intimate knowledge of political and legislative dynamics and the ability to spearhead the president's agenda through Congress. More so than the other oft-mentioned top choices, Ryan fits this profile. While he has taken great pains to preserve his reluctant citizen-politician image, the fact remains that Ryan keeps an ear firmly to the ground when it comes to political sentiment. Consequently, he could serve as a key policy adviser to a President Romney and help him shape his agenda to best adapt to political realities. He could also utilize his sterling reputation and extensive connections in Washington to win over key support on crucial legislation. The president (thankfully) only has so much unilateral power, so all the executive experience in the world will not amount to enough for Romney if he can't get Congress to work with him.
Above all, Romney should tap Ryan if he seeks to make this election the aforementioned choice between two competing visions for America's future – between the government-driven corporatism Obama offers and the private sector-driven opportunity society that Romney professes to desire. More than any alternative, Paul Ryan would help center the focus of the fall campaign on the most important issue facing the country: our debt and deficit.
I suppose we can look at it this way: if Mitt cares most about political considerations, he should go with Sen. Rubio. If he cares most about executive competence and nuts-and-bolts governing, he should opt for Gov. Jindal. But if he cares most about addressing the biggest of the big issues of the day, he should select Chmn. Ryan.
That about sums it up. Good case to make.
Good distinctions about what we're looking for with Jindal, Ryan, and Rubio. You nailed those ones.
If the economy keeps improving, Mitt's going to need to change the subject a little bit. The debt may be the one he shifts to. If that's the case, Ryan's the pick. But going to the debt the major campaign theme is risky because it's so hard to explain to average folks. But if he wins on it, he will have such a mandate from the public to fix the problem, that our republic might be saved after all.
Hey, I wouldn't be unhappy about any of these guys. And, if turns out that this is Romney's short-list, Race will be proven once again prescient.
You didn't exactly misrepresent my position. I've said that if Romney wants to pick Ryan, he's going to have to make a calculated decision- nowish- to shift focus to entitlement reform and away from the economy. Like if the economy is 80% of what Romney talks about and entitlements/debt are like 10%, he'll have to change the ratio to something closer to 60-30. Because Democrats are going to be running against Ryan all summer and, if Romney's just whispering about entitlement reform, the Congressman will probably be too toxic by the time the Veep selection comes up. Romney will have to spend the next few months convincing the American public that reforming entitlements is not, in fact, throwing grandmother over the cliff.
I just can't see him doing that. It's a high-risk proposition and, if he doesn't end up selecting Ryan- if he ends up going with someone less notably connected to the debt issue- it'll probably end up being a net negative. If Romney wants Ryan, he's going to have to decide long before he actually picks him.
I completely agree Anthony. Ryan is the best fit for Romney, not just for the election but for actually governing. Ryan can help steer the Romney agenda through Congress, because he knows how the legislative sausage making is done.
Additionally I think that he really does help with the ticket. He can bring upper-class suburban whites back into the Republican Party while not losing any of the groups we already have. He can help more in the key battleground Midwestern states than the other folks being mentioned. In short, Ryan's positives far outweigh the negatives.
Romney/Ryan is the winning ticket.
Sorry for the thread jack, but in a WA state county caucus to pick delegates to go to the state caucus yesterday, the Ron Paul camps and Santorum camps came together for some BS and most likely delegate fraud, filling out multiple ballots. 30% increase in ballots turned in then there were actually delegates in attendance.
This is in Clark County, where Romney dominated by about 20%.
The caucus system is totally corrupt and easily manipulated.
Here is one of the videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN5fxHjyNJ4&sns=fb
Romney/Ryan – dead cat bounce.
Ryan's district in Wisconsin is pretty solidly Democratic at the presidential level. If he can bring home the bacon there, we could conceivably win Wisconsin in the Fall. We'll have to see how Scott Walker's recall goes first. If I were on Mitt's team, I'd send a message on over to Scott, or have a meeting with him, and explain not to screw up this election with any more big ideological bills until election day. We could possibly poach WI with Ryan. We'll know if it's possible after the recall election.
Here's the thing about Ryan: he's very much like Jack Kemp inasmuch as he has the right message but may in fact be the wrong messenger. Kemp and Ryan have completely different temperaments, but both are essentially playing the same role in their respective periods, which is the role of the young, eager champion of economic freedom that never seems to make it to the lead role. There's a reason why Reagan was able to sell policies to the general public that Kemp could not. Reagan had the ability to connect at a personal level with each and every American watching and say, almost via telekinesis, "I'm one of you. I'm not here to screw you over. Trust me, this stuff will work." Most politicians don't have that gift. I don't think Ryan does either. If we were putting Ryan on the ticket with someone who naturally feels people's pain, then I'd say go for it. But I am skeptical that we can put Ryan on the ticket with Romney.
Sorry disagree i wouldn't even submit ryan's name and postman's for that matter a final vetting in the veep stakes.
that would be postman's name…good post 7
Ryan made more sense as President than as Vice-President. He probably needs an extended campaign and an enormous platform to sell his ideas to the public.
Ryan's good at telling us why we should believe in what we already believe in.
But is he good at telling others why they should believe in what we do? I'm not sure. I think in that regard, Rubio is easily the best pick. But I have concerns about him that we all have. I think I'm still leaning Jindal, with Rubio and Ryan close behind, in that order.
Political considerations = winning?
Then yes, Mitt will pick Rubio.
At this point, Mitt needs a solid Win! Not a respectable loss.
Ryan would be an excellent pick, and I think it's VERY likely he would carry WI with him. If Walker survives the recall (very likely at this point) Wisconsin becomes a very winnable swing state for Romney.
My only fear with Ryan is you have to be VERY careful how you approach mediCare. Even though it's going broke and changes have to be made if you want to save it, people don't like hearing the truth and it's a very easy issue to demagogue.
7, Put another way in order to sell economic conservatism we need to find a VP that doesn't look like he'd fit into this picture:
What are Paul Ryan's ideas? He talks like the debt and out of control spending are the only things on his mind, yet his proposed budget cuts only $94 billion in the first year, which is the only year that matters as Paul Ryan proves himself by eliminating the defense sequestration. His budget will cut spending to 19.8% of GDP in 2022. How is that a serious proposal when Romney wants to cut spending to 20% of GDP in half the time.
Paul Ryan voted for No Child Left Behind, for Sarbanes-Oxley, for Medicare Part D, for raising the debt ceiling multiple times, etc. Before Paul Ryan can be anointed as our visionary, he needs to admit that those votes were mistakes. If he doesn't believe those were mistakes, then he needs to defense those programs like how Romney has defended RomneyCare. Either make an argument for those programs or admit they were mistakes. People want to bash Santorum for being a team player but at least Santorum has admitted that those votes were mistakes.
Mass Con,
That's a reasonable point. I'd say Ryan is very good at convincing non-partisan hacks that he's sincere, acting in good faith, trying to solve problems, etc. In a really long campaign, where he was the chief draw (i.e, running for the Senate or Governor or President) that would probably be enough to get him elected. People in the center would vote for him because they trust him to act honestly and fairly. But that doesn't say much about whether he's particularly good at convincing them his ideas are right. In a shortened campaign, where he's not the main draw, but where he is the chief villain, the latter skill is likely much more handy than the former. He's not going to have time to build up the "unimpeachable public servant" image while Democrats are demagoguing the hell out of him.
Mitt has gotten better on the stump and the crowds are definitely responding. So I don't think he needs someone to sell his message or to inspire voters.
would Ryan carry WI? probably
would Ryan carry IA, MI, OH, PA? not likely
would WI's 10 electoral votes change much? not really
would his selection still matter in late oct? not like other selections (5.-dead cat bounce)
would he hurt the ticket? probably not, but why risk it w/ senior citizens
how much would he help the ticket? not much
if Romney/Ryan win WI, IA, NH, VA, NC, FL do they get to 270? no they lose a squeaker w/ 268 ev's
bottom line: just like in a close 2004 election. He who wins OH, wins the Presidency
#10: MEM, weird you would say that as I was just thinking it. Ryan was my first choice as Prez and I strongly wanted him to run, but I'm not sure he should be Romney's veep. Having read all three posts, I'm feeling Rubio (so far)
Optics also matter and Ryan looks like he could be one of Romney's sons. Media will say Romney is "reaching" with such a pick.
What exactly has Rubio done? What is his signature achievement? I'm not saying he's a lightweight, but he's not a known figure.
We've been over this. I confess you have a reasonable case. Except. The concrete budgets which are bolder than Ryan's can scarcely get half the GOP caucus to sign on (the RSC budget got like 130 votes). And "bolder" agendas of the Presidential candidates are just aspirational, with little meat on the bones. Romney wants to cut spending to 20% of the GDP in his first-term? Yet he hasn't proposed any substantial discretionary spending cuts. His big deficit cutting ideas are pretty much the same as Ryan's- and they're long-term. So forgive me for not giving Romney more credit for saying he's "going to go through the budget line-by-line and determine which functions are duplicative, which can be combined" and yadda yadda yadda. It's also true, of course, that Romney's not bound to CBO's revenue assumptions. Romney can propose to get spending to 20% of the GDP in his first-term. And if his policies make the GDP grow beyond CBO projections, well, the same level of revenue is a smaller percentage of the GDP. There, promise fulfilled. There are games Presidential candidates can play which budget committee chairs can't. But you're right, as I've conceded before: there are actual budget proposals out there which cut more. Wake me up when one of them can even command 90% of the Republican conference.
Because of census moving electoral votes to south, carrying WI would be very nice, if you carry it, then there could be many scenarios where you don't need OH/PA/MI.
Give Iowa, Nevada and Ohio to Dems, Romney still wins with Wisconsin

The Paul and Santorum people are sure playing dirty here in WA. We have our county convention over in Spokane on the 14th, and we're hoping to be ready for any of those shenanigans. It's happening all over the state, though. I wouldn't be shocked if Paul and Santorum got more delegates than Romney here in WA based solely on the crap they're pulling in the county conventions.
Or Ohio and Virginia to Dems (I think though Ryan would help with white collar vote so unlikely because scenario because of sub urbs cost Republicans VA and NC last time), with Wisconsin Romney wins.
I personally love Ryan but he looks like a Romney mini-me.
My top pick is Jindal and Romney/Jindal has been ticket since '08.
CBO didn't calculate any revenue projections on Ryan's budget. Ryan provided the CBO with all the numbers.
"The amounts of revenues and spending to be used in these calculations for 2012 through 2022 were provided by Chairman Ryan and his staff. The amounts for 2023 through 2050 were calculated by CBO on the basis of growth rates, percentages of gross domestic product (GDP), or other formulas specified by Chairman Ryan and his staff."
What's the purpose of coming here to attack Paul Ryan all the time? Are you proposing someone else for VP? Please, feel free to make his/her case.
I'm trying to understand why there is so much love for politicians who haven't adhered to Republican principles. It's not just Paul Ryan. There's Rick Santorum, Rob Portman, Bobby Jindal, etc. Someone made a point in another thread that Romney needs to pick a Tea Party aligned Republican to fire up the base and I can't agree more. Romney doesn't need to worry about Independents because he appeals to moderates. He also doesn't need these establishment type Republicans (ie, those who played the team sport like Santorum said) not only because they haven't adhered to Republican principles but also because of their past support for the wars that almost the entire country is getting leery of.
I think executive experience is overrated as long as you understand the fundamental principles of liberty and free markets. I think some of the recent Tea Party elected Senators (Pat Toomey, Rand Paul, etc.) would be excellent choices.
How much of a loss would it be to no longer have Ryan in the House? Can a VP also be a Cabinet member (OMB)? The Cabinet isn't a Constitutional creation, so why not? How many Southern states will not flip to Romney without a Southern VP? Would the alernative of DeMint or McDonnel flip more states? VOILA LES VARIABLES…

So you are considering Ryan because if he carries his home state, and if he doesnt hurt with seniors in Florida and if Mitt can counter the large black populations in VA & NC without a southerner on the ticket where Mitt has proven to be weak in the primaries. And still win NH & flip CO which voted for Obama by 8.6%. And after all that the GOP win by 4 EV's (if NH goes Dem btw the GOP lose in your map). You are comforitable with that gameplan? I dont think anyone who wants to win is. The GOP is going to need a knock out punch and Ryan isn't it. Cant wait for the articles on the women VP candidates because they are the majority of voters & Mitt can't win with a 10% deficit in that catergory.
Whoops, didn't realize it was you that responded to me. I'm not really attacking him as I am pointing out the facts. If he can't be defended then that's his problem. Look, we know Santorum voted for No Child Left Behind, but he has gone on record of saying it was a misatke. I can kind of accept that but Paul Ryan hasn't talked about any of his past votes. It would make a huge difference to know whether Ryan still to this day defends No Child Left Behind and Medicare Part D or whether he admits they were mistakes. People want Romney to admit RomneyCare was a mistake but at least he's defended it. I want to know where Paul Ryan stands on past issues to know if he's just being a typical politician or whether he finally supports Republican principles.
I'm not attacking Ryan, but I doubt he can deliver Wisconsin. Given any decent sized population, a Congressman can't deliver a state. But, while Ryan offers a lot, and I would be happy with it, I'd prefer Jeb…..or Portman…..or McDonnell. I've backed off from Christie for it, although he would offer as much as Ryan.
The three I named offer states that are larger than Wisconsin, and more realistic. Too bad Marco isn't available, but Jeb will do.
32. Dave
Interesting, so you think Christie could carry NJ? I have heard some speculate that he may even flip PA. Christie really is an electoral college wild card; so hard to predict. But I remember in 2004, Kerry needed OH and blue collar voters so he picked Edwards because of his working class roots. Not only did he not deliver OH, he didn't even deliver his home state. But then again, Christie is a larger than life figure (no pun intended), would campaign hard & the MSM would eat it up.
"Political considerations = winning?
Then yes, Mitt will pick Rubio.
At this point, Mitt needs a solid Win! Not a respectable loss."
Explain to me how Rubio guarantees a win for Mitt and Ryan doesn't. Plus, the goal here isn't just winning, it's governing. And with governing, it means fixing the economy, creating jobs, balancing the budget, etc. Ryan delivers that moreso than Rubio.
I didn't say in #32 that Christie can deliver anything. Portman can get us Ohio….McDonnell can guarantee Virginia…..Jeb, and Marco, if he was available, nails down Florida.
But, it's very possible that Christie could get us New Jersey, and he would be very valuable in Pennsylvania, which is currently close in polls. There are a lot of Philadelphia suburbs in New Jersey, and Christie is a guy who would campaign great across the border.
I think this likelihood is at least as great as Ryan delivering Wisconsin.
I highly doubt Romney's going to pick anyone based on the idea that they're going to deliver a particular state. In my opinion, you should measure everyone else against Chris Christie. Romney's going to favor potential VP's who have executive experience, who are strong debaters, who are smart, who have supported him. Christie fits the bill, if it's going to be someone else (which it could easily be) there's got to be a good reason.
Though historically speaking, I'm not sure to what extent Florida needs nailing down.
Last time when Democrat candidate did better in Florida relative to the Republican candidate, than in national popular vote total, was 1976, when Jimmy Carter from a neighboring state swept the South.
In 2000, which was the year Democrats came closest to performing as well in Florida as in national polls, they had a ticket that fit Florida better than any other swing state, a southerner presidential nominee, Jewish vice presidential nominee, they still did 0.52 points worse than they did in national popular vote, relative to the Republican ticket.
Obama's 2.81 point Florida victory was pretty bad compared to the 7.27 point national popular vote victory, Democrat ticket did 4.46 points worse in Florida than nationwide.
My prediction: If Romney loses the national popular vote by 1% or less, or wins it, he wins Florida. If Romney loses the national popular vote by more than 1%, he will likely lose so many other swing states, that Florida wouldn't be enough to save him anyway.
37. Dave
Sorry about that, the three states you said were FL, VA, OH, I misread. You seem to be like me & consider the electoral college right along side competency, which is definitly the way to go imo. The saying 'a bird in the hand' comes to mind with these all important states. I'm sure you guys have heard this before but Mitt is likely to win FL without Rubio, and Obama could win early if he gets OH & VA. Luckily there are many more months (well over four to be exact) for the base to sort this out and get over some of their crushes & figure out how to win. Just like the talk from 2011 of Cain or Bachmann as VP's has died down, so will the hype & hope of many of the current top ten.
It's going to be Christie.
Would Ryan accept?
His hair reminds me to Reagans – omen?
By his rhetoric, Romney wants and probably now has to select a governor or someone with executive experience. He has built his whole campaign around that theme. One may also argue some business background would be preferable. That narrows the field considerably.
I would not be surprised if Romney double-downed on business experience and chose someone like Meg Whitman, who he clearly admires.
Ho hum. Why would Mitt go for someone with only limited executive experience after making that his main selling point all primary? In either Ryan or Rubio, his Veep pick would be tossed back in his face with the question, "I thought you were all about executive experience?"
I'll bet it's going to be Paul Ryan.
I hope the far EXTREME STUBBORN RIGHT, Santorum (ah..a complete fake!), Limbaugh, Palin, Fox News may have screwed the Republicans with their Women's Issues. Romney tried to stay clear as possible as long as he could. The smart man governed MA…he knows what he needs to do..unlike these dimwits who THINK they are conservative and Christian. When all they do is judge, act holier-than-thou, and drive people away. If they could only read the Bible and see how they should really act toward others. Different beliefs don't drive people away…trying to cram them down others throats does!
You make a strong case. I'm a big fan of Ryan's.
But there is one major objection I didn't see you address.
What would a Romney/Ryan loss do to Ryan's career? Does Wisconsin law allow him to run for Congress too? I think this varies by state (Delaware let Biden run for Senate, but I think some states don't allow it).
This would be an awfully big risk if we had to push his House seat into the pot.
"Why would Mitt go for someone with only limited executive experience after making that his main selling point all primary? In either Ryan or Rubio, his Veep pick would be tossed back in his face with the question, "I thought you were all about executive experience?"
Because Romney/Ryan would be like a mullet. Business in the front, party in the back.
Yes, Wisconsin law does allow Ryan to run for VP and his congress seat at the same time.
It's not going to be Christie
Its going to be Christie.
Socons this year have really flushed their power down the toilet. Romney is winning without you. What makes you think he thinks he needs a socon VP to win swing states?
Romney respects Christie. He respects the power Christie has when he shouts down hecklers. He respects Christie's ability to win over the common man. And he's a lightning rod that will help deflect negative press away from Mitt.
Condi Rice for the win for the following reasons:
1. Romney's perceived strenght is domestic policy and the economy. He lacks foreign policy experience. The president is vulnerable on foreign policy. Adding someone with foreign policy cred is a must.
2. Romney trails badly among women, but is competitive with men. One way to address this is to add a female VP but as John McCain found out its not enough to pick a popular conservative woman; she has to appear ready for the job with sufficient experience and gravitas. Condi has it.
3. Romney needs to make amends with the strongly conservative wing of the party. He isn't going to pick a social conservative running mate (I think it would look schizo to do so and would be seen as pandering) but it seems beyond doubt that Romney is strongly conservative on foreign policy matters anyway so adding a popular foreign policy conservative like Rice would generate enthusiasm without alienating moderates, while maintaining the consistency of the message.
4. The move would generate excitement among other moderates who would be drawn to the historic possibility of the first woman VP.
5. She would destroy Biden in a debate.
6. Condi is very likeable, not just by conservatives (as Palin and Bachman are, for example) but among a larger audience. Whereas Palin and Bachman are portrayed as "dumb," no one could question Condi's intelligence. Also, I realize it is controversial to say, but it is true that Condi would be shielded from some measure of attacks because the MSM in leery of criticizing African Americans. (Of course the Al Sharptons on the left would attack non-stop, but that actually could backfire on the democrats).
7. To some extent, it would frustrate democrat efforts to make race an issue, or to cast this election as black v white.
8. Romney needs to broaden his national appeal – he runs well in the northeast and rocky mountains, adding a southerner like Rice will help in MO and GA, both of which are leaning Republican but not safe, and VA/NC, both of which are tossups. Helps in areas where national defense is seen as a key issue. May help in ethnically diverse areas (although we are going to get killed with minorities again).
9. Superficially (I list this last because it only matters to a small number of the stupidest voters, to whom "image" matters) we would have the most attractive ticket probably in the history of the country, to counter Obama's cultish coolness.
That said, I predict that (based on his past performance) Romney will pick a "safe" choice like Ryan or Christie. Ryan might help a little with the base, and we could pick up Wisconsin (although we are WAY behind there now). Christie won't help much; he doesn't add any states and frankly the social conservatives won't like him any better than Romney. He would just be doubling up on his strengths, and even his most ardent admirers would probably be thinking the ticket should be swapped with Christie in the first slot. I think it would be dumb for Christie to take it anyway. He has too much in his future to be saddled to Romney. Rubio would be better, he would energize the base but I think the larger audience would think he's not ready. The Mormon baptism, stupid to say, may also deter Mitt from picking him.
Okay, I have found a new way of looking at this. Think of who is going to be the finalist from each group/need & go from there. Now again, I think there are going be three finalists in August that will be widely known to the media & public. They will all have been vetted & be the top choice in their respective field.
First catergory: the 'make a splash pick'.
The two finalists in this catergory are Rubio & Christie.
I guess I am starting to fully support the 'Mitt will go with competency' meme & it just seems Christie would survive a thorough vet more than Rubio would.
Second catergory: the 'safe & competent pick'.
With my electoral college knowledge I just don't even see this catergory as being a competition. There is absolutly no reason to pick Pawlenty or Daniels over Mitt's close & reliable friend Senator Portman from one of the most important swing states in the country.
Third catergory: the 'make the base happy pick'.
I guess Demint & Huckabee fit into here well, but I just dont see them as likely as Mcdonnell. So, my guess is a final three short short list in mid-August of: Christie, Portman, & Mcdonnell.
All competent, all bring something electorally, all will work hard & be ready on day one. Maybe we should be looking at who will be the finalist from a specific catergory & not compare apples to oranges until the list is uber-short. And to complete the thought, after you have your final three by catergory, then you just need to think how Mitt will act & not necessarily who he will pick.

A Gate at the Stairs (Vintage Contemporaries)by Lorrie Moore
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In her best-selling story collection, Birds of America ("[it] will stand by itself as one of our funniest, most telling anatomies of human love and vulnerability" James McManus, front page of The New York Times Book Review), Lorrie Moore wrote about the disconnect between men and women, about the precariousness of women on the edge, and about loneliness and loss.
Now, in her dazzling new novel — her first in more than a decade — Moore turns her eye on the anxiety and disconnection of post-9/11 America, on the insidiousness of racism, the blind-sidedness of war, and the recklessness thrust on others in the name of love.
As the United States begins gearing up for war in the Middle East, twenty-year-old Tassie Keltjin, the Midwestern daughter of a gentleman hill farmer — his "Keltjin potatoes" are justifiably famous — has come to a university town as a college student, her brain on fire with Chaucer, Sylvia Plath, Simone de Beauvoir.
Between semesters, she takes a job as a part-time nanny. The family she works for seems both mysterious and glamorous to her, and although Tassie had once found children boring, she comes to care for, and to protect, their newly adopted little girl as her own.
As the year unfolds and she is drawn deeper into each of these lives, her own life back home becomes ever more alien to her: her parents are frailer; her brother, aimless and lost in high school, contemplates joining the military. Tassie finds herself becoming more and more the stranger she felt herself to be, and as life and love unravel dramatically, even shockingly, she is forever changed.
This long-awaited new novel by one of the most heralded writers of the past two decades is lyrical, funny, moving, and devastating; Lorrie Moore's most ambitious book to date — textured, beguiling, and wise.
"The admired fiction writer Lorrie Moore has a unique gift. She can be screamingly funny — and in the very next paragraph, able to convey terrible grief....Her language is dazzling." USA Today
"[ A Gate at the Stairs ] is a gift." Philadelphia Inquirer
"Moore is such a bright, witty writer...A Gate at the Stairs is Moore's first novel in 15 years, which means a whole generation of readers has grown up thinking of her only as one of the country's best short-story writers. Get ready to expand your sense of what she — and a novel — can do...what's so endearing is Moore's ability to tempt us with humor into the surreal boundaries of human experience, those strange decisions that make no sense out of context, the things we can't believe anyone would do. The novel's climax takes us right into the disorienting logic of grief for a scene that's both horrifying and tender, a grotesque violation of taboos that's entirely forgivable and heartbreaking." Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"Moore may be, exactly, the most irresistible contemporary American writer: brainy, humane, unpretentious and warm; seemingly effortlessly lyrical; Lily-Tomlin-funny. Most of all, Moore is capable of enlisting not just our sympathies but our sorrows....This book plumbs deep because it is anchored deep." Jonathan Lethem, The New York Times Book Review
"Contemporary fiction has produced few noticers with a better eye and more engaging voice than Tassie Keltjin, the narrator of Lorrie Moore's deceptively powerful A Gate at the Stairs. For much of Moore's first novel in 15 years — her short stories have established her as something of a Stateside Alice Munro — Tassie's eye and ear are pretty much all there is to the book....The enrichment of such complications makes this one of the year's best novels." Kirkus Reviews (featured review)
"The unique vision and exquisite writing cast a spell." Booklist (starred)
"[A] luminous, heart-wrenchingly wry novel....Moore's graceful prose considers serious emotional and political issues with low-key clarity and poignancy...generous flashes of wit endow this stellar novel with great heart." Publishers Weekly (starred)
"Her most powerful book yet....An indelible portrait of a young woman coming of age in the Midwest in the year after 9/11....The novel explores, with enormous emotional precision, the limitations and insufficiencies of love, and the loneliness that haunts even the most doting of families....Most memorably, in this haunting novel Ms. Moore gives us stark, melancholy glimpses into her characters' hearts, mapping their fears and disappointments, their hidden yearnings and their more evanescent efforts to hold on to their dreams in the face of unfurling misfortune." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

Despite some lingering concerns about some assumptions used in recommending a design for the future Oklahoma City Boulevard, many city council members Tuesday hailed its evolving design process as an example of the government listening to residents' concerns.
Oklahoma City Council debates future of boulevard
A relatively light agenda for Tuesday's Oklahoma City Council meeting meant a substantial part of the morning focused on reaction to Monday night's presentation regarding the design of the boulevard's western end, which will cross a complicated series of intersections near downtown.
Consultants detailed plans Monday for what some people consider to be a compromise between designs that prioritize the boulevard's role as a redevelopment magnet and its role as a commuter mover.
Councilman Ed Shadid opened the discussion by advocating for increased openness about why consultants and city officials are using the numbers and assumptions they are in constructing traffic flow prediction models for design recommendations. But as each council member weighed in on the matter in turn, an increasing amount of focus was put on the idea that the slower, narrower boulevard planned now is already evidence of officials listening to a chorus of observers who warned it would be too fast and too broad.
"If we stop right now, more people are pleased with what we've done than would have been had we not had this dialogue," Councilman Pete White said. "This is the best example I can think of dialogue that really impacted something. I don't necessarily think that dialogue is finished."
Traffic numbers
Shadid often voices thoughts on the boulevard similar to those who favor a slow, narrow and flat parkway that's fully integrated into the existing traffic grid and friendly to foot traffic, bicyclists and redevelopment. He reiterated Tuesday that he wants the city to take a closer look at the computer models used by consultants to evaluate various design proposals.
"We are making a decision that's going to have consequences for decades ... and a very significant factor in our decision making is this computer model, this traffic model simulation," Shadid said. "I would ask that we make public what computer model we're using (and) all the inputs that we're putting in. Explain the methodology to the public."
Shadid pointed out that some design proposals deemed unable to handle the heavy traffic predicted in the area could prove to be preferable if fewer vehicles than consultants say they expect ultimately use the road, and city residents should know more about why the traffic predictions are what they are before making a decision.
But other council members, notably Gary Marrs, focused on the boulevard's role in the overall traffic network. The new route of Interstate 40 was planned based on the assumption the boulevard would eventually help people get in and out of downtown, and commuters have already griped that the fewer entrances and exits on the new freeway has complicated their drive.

TPM: Today the presidential gloves really come off.
In a Tuesday speech hosted by the Associated Press in Washington, D.C., President Obama will deliver a broadside to the House-passed Republican budget, which calls for upending Medicare and making deep cuts to domestic social programs. Obama will describe it as a dark vision for America and draw a clear contrast with his campaign themes of reducing inequality and asking the wealthy to help pay down the nation's debt.
"This congressional Republican budget, however, is something different altogether. It's a Trojan Horse," Obama plans to say, according to excerpts provided by the White House. "Disguised as deficit-reduction plan, it's really an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country. It's nothing but thinly veiled Social Darwinism. It's antithetical to our entire history as a land of opportunity and upward mobility for everyone who's willing to work for it — a place where prosperity doesn't trickle down from the top, but grows outward from the heart of the middle class. And by gutting the very things we need to grow an economy that's built to last — education and training; research and development — it's a prescription for decline."

Business Insider: Over the next eight hours, twenty automakers will report March auto sales in the U.S. Already, it appears the seasonally adjusted annual rate of sales will top all industry estimates, new data out of Business Insider shows.
First out the gate this month is Chrysler, with a better-than-expected sales gain of 34.2 percent, moving 163,381 units in March.
At that healthy gain, Business Insider estimates total U.S. SAAR will run between 15.2 million and 16.1 million. This is well above current estimates of 14.6 million units, per Bloomberg.
The last time auto sales topped an annualized pace of 15.2 million was four years ago, in February 2008.
Detroit News: Chrysler Group LLC sold 163,381 cars and trucks last month, translating into a 34 percent year-over-year increase and making March another stellar month for the Auburn Hills automaker.
Meanwhile, Ford Motor Co. said Tuesday that its auto sales were up 5 percent in March — the company's best March in five years. And Hyundai Motor Co. said it set a new all-time record for U.S. auto sales in March, up 13 percent to 69,728 on strong sales of its fuel-efficient models.

NYT: For several weeks, Mitt Romney has seized on the rising cost of gasoline to attack President Obama and his environmental aides for what Mr. Romney calls their misguided desire to see higher energy prices.
…. But Mr. Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, has in the past appeared much more open to the notion that rising energy costs could be good for the American economy. In his 2010 book, "No Apology," Mr. Romney described a gradual increase in the cost of energy as the kind of market-based incentive that conservatives could embrace.
…. Charles Ebinger, the director of the energy security initiative at the Brookings Institution, said Mr. Romney's openness to the benefits of higher energy prices was similar to the approach that Mr. Obama's advisers had espoused for years.
Steve Benen: ….. The main problem, as the New York Times reported today, is that Romney has already argued for the same policies he's now against.
…. As governor, Romney also raised gas taxes — by 400% — and hired an energy advisor who opposes reduction in oil prices. Romney even pushed for more energy-efficient light bulbs, though he now opposes the idea.
Clearly, the former governor is aware of public concerns and wants to incorporate energy policy into the 2012 race, but between Romney's Big Oil ties and his previous personas, it's not going to be easy for him to stay coherent on the subject.
TPM: A new report by an independent government auditor concludes that implementing President Obama's health care law as intended will make a significant dent in the long-term debt forecast.
…. it concludes that if key cost-control measures in the law, and other automatic cuts to Medicare spending baked into current law, are ignored, or overridden by Congress, the implications for the national debt are vast.
If "Obamacare" is implemented as intended, and other measures, such as automatic payment cuts to Medicare physicians, take effect, "spending on Medicare and Medicaid grows from 5 percent of GDP in 2010 to over 7 percent by 2030."
By contrast, if Congress overrides those provisions, "spending on health care grows much more rapidly …."

The Hill: The Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday that President Obama's 2009 stimulus package continues to have a significant effect.
The bill raised fourth-quarter 2011 gross domestic product by as much as 1.5 percent, it states, and lowered the unemployment rate by as much as 1.1 percentage points.
The package reduced the rolls of the jobless by up to 2 million people in the last three months of 2011.
LA Times: Sales of previously owned homes rose 4.3% in January and inventories fell to nearly seven-year lows as lower prices, unusually warm weather and an improving economy lifted demand.
….. January sales were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.57 million …. Sales rose in all four major regions, including an 8.8% pop in the West.
Job creation, mild weather, rising rents and increased household formation contributed to the sales gains, according to Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the Realtors group. "Things are genuinely improving," Yun said.

The Nation: It is hard to read Remedy and Reaction, Paul Starr's remarkable chronicle of the hundred-year effort to legislate universal health insurance in the United States, without recalling Robert Gibbs's tortured quip that Democrats who've denounced the Obama White House for having knuckled under to Republican principles or intimidation "ought to be drug-tested." Nobody with a sense of history – that is, nobody who reads Starr's book – could doubt how sensible and brave was the president's effort to drive the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 through Congress. Nobody with a feel for the present moment should doubt how imminent is the threat to the act, how urgent it is for progressive Democrats to rally around Obama – and without all the condescending qualifications that "independents," who flock away from allegedly weak or incompetent leaders, interpret as contempt.
Greg Sargent: …. At an event in Las Vegas (yesterday), Obama offered his most extensive rebuttal by far to the bogus GOP charge that the push for higher taxes on the wealthy is about "class warfare" and "envy". The whole thing is worth a watch – the tone was not one of outrage, but one laced with a good deal of mockery and derision:
Washington Post: The Obama administration finalized a rule Thursday governing the management of 193 million acres of national forests and grasslands, establishing a new blueprint to guide everything from logging to recreation and renewable energy development.
The guidelines – which will take effect in early March and apply to all 155 national forests, 20 grasslands and one prairie – represent the first meaningful overhaul of forest rules in 30 years….
Several environmentalists and scientists praised the guidelines … "The vision is laudable, and this is no small shift in how the national forests will be managed, from one of commodity extraction into a vision of protection, restoration and water preservation," said Dominick DellaSala, president and chief scientist for the Oregon-based Geos Institute.

HTC to reveal new 'fall hero' smartphone on October 20
HTC needs to show it remains competitive in the high end smartphone market and on October 20th we'll see if it has what it takes.
HTC needs to show it remains competitive in the high end smartphone market and on October 20th we'll see if it has what it takes.
The company continues to struggle mightily in the smartphone space, but its HTC Vive VR headset is winning awards and earning accolades from everyone who straps it on.
The HTC Desire 626, 626s, 526, and 520 will fill out HTC's mid-range offering.
HTC turned to China early on to help boost flagging smartphone sales. That strategy isn't working as the company is revising guidance downward amid competition from the iPhone.
The new HTC One M9 is another good choice for smartphone buyers. Matthew still hasn't made a final decision so offers up some reasons to consider the HTC One M9 as well.
Samsung and HTC each improved this generation of smartphone, but some design decisions may have customers choosing one over the other -- and it may not be the one you think.
HTC's new One M9 is no ground-breaker, but like its M8 and M7 predecessors is a well designed and well engineered smartphone.
HTC continues to focus on imaging with a new Desire handset, enhanced camera experience, and an updated Zoe collaboration app that's even coming to iOS devices.
Samsung vs. Apple vs. Nokia, HTC and Motorola. Who cares? All the hardware looks alike. The smartphone battle is won with ecosystems, cloud and sheer marketing.
HTC continues to round out their smartphone profile with a new Desire designed to bring LTE to those who cannot afford a high end smartphone.
HTC just released a Windows Phone version of its flagship smartphone. It is not an easy choice to make.
HTC One 4G LTE Smartphone for $300
Like last year, HTC released a smaller cousin of their flagship device. The new HTC One Mini 2 should be called the M8 Mini and it is great to see this device perform well in a small form factor.
OnePlus just announced their OnePlus One high end Android smartphone with specs that beat the S5 and HTC One (M8) with a price starting at just $299.
The HTC One (M8) ticks most of our boxes: design, build and performance are all excellent, there's no app overload, and HTC Sense is improving with every iteration. Battery life could be better and some of the camera tools may seem unnecessary, but overall it's a winner.
We have seen lots of rumors of the next HTC One and in a month we will see what HTC has come up with. The launch event will take place in NY and London.
I cannot recall ever sticking with one single phone for an entire year, but the HTC One remains my faithful companion and is still going strong.
This Chinese smartphone maker has proved its chops at home, but now it has to convince Indians that it can supplant the likes of the Samsung S4 or the HTC One.
Ahead of the 700MHz 4G spectrum release in 2015, Telstra has conducted a small test of 4G in the spectrum band using a yet-to-be-released HTC smartphone.
I usually get excited to review a new smartphone and want to run out to buy it after a few minutes. The Nexus 5 is a solid device, but it looks like I am actually going to return the one I bought when it was announced.
Classic Steve Jobs disses you can put on your next resignation letter
Windows 10
With new Surface Book and Surface Pro 4, Microsoft aims high
For privacy and security, change these iOS 9 settings immediately
Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book mean business, but no big threat to Apple
Windows 10
Might Microsoft's Lumia 950 and 950XL phones get more carrier love?

Treatment Of Bone Cyst With Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Cell Transplantation

- How to Read a Study Record
There are two types of bone cysts, unicameral and aneurismal. These cysts happen to anyone, but they are most commonly seen in children and young adults while their bones are still growing. Living with a bone cyst and determining treatment options depend on the type of cyst.
Non-surgical treatments for unicameral bone cysts involves repeated X-rays in individuals who do not experience any symptoms.
Surgical removal of a unicameral bone cyst is needed if it becomes especially painful, or the area of the bone starts to thin out. The investigators aim to assess the clinical efficacy and side effects of mesenchymal stem cells seeded on bone matrix in repairing bone cyst.

Biological: cell injection
injection of mesenchymal cells to bone cyst defect
Other Name: cell transplantation
Detailed Description:
Bone cysts are benign lesions usually discovered in children from age of 5 to 15 years. Treatment options include observation, corticosteroid injection and surgery. Sometimes the risk of surgery is comparable to the likelihood of fracture without treatment. In orthopedic surgery, bone chips , various types of ceramics, natural and synthetized bone mineral hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate, as well as numerous polymers and co-polymers of alfa-hydroxy acids are used to perform as an osteoconductive and rarely osteoinductive factor to help bone formation.Some evidence demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells deposited on the surface of this constructs enhance its osteogenic differentiation. In this study the investigators seeds cultured bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells on bone matrix, to evaluate its therapeutic potential in repairing unicameral or aneurysmal bone cyst.This composite is placed in the bone cyst after its curettage during a surgery.Post-operation assessment is done by X-Ray examination and MRI at 1, 2, 6, and 12 months after treatment.

Much better grades this week for the Cowboys, after their 33-29 victory over Kansas State. High marks to the OSU defense, especially Shaun Lewis, Caleb Lavey and Tyler Johnson.
Oklahoma State report card: Cowboys' grades drastically improve in win over Kansas State
When Oklahoma State needed to make plays, the Cowboys came through. The defense came up with interceptions on Kansas State's last two possessions, the first by Shaun Lewis and the second by Daytawion Lowe. And the offense scored points on its last two drives. Down by six points, J.W. Walsh and Co. put together their best drive of the day, going 75 yards in six plays and finishing with a 7-yard touchdown pass from Walsh to Charlie Moore. Then on the next possession, it was Ben Grogan's turn to perform, hitting a 28-yard field goal.
The Cowboys got big-time play out of starters Shaun Lewis and Caleb Lavey. Lewis, who led the team in tackles with eight, forced a fumble, recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass that set up the game-winning touchdown. He also had a big tackle of K-State quarterback Daniel Sams with a minute left in the game; he kept Sams inbounds and cost the Wildcats precious time. Lavey had seven tackles, including two for a loss.
The converted defensive end had the best game of his Cowboy career. He had seven tackles, including two sacks. He also forced a fumble.
Overall, the Cowboy quarterback had an average day, going 24 of 28 for 245 yards and one touchdown, but when the Cowboys needed him to step up, he was big time. With the Cowboys trailing by six in the fourth quarter and needing to go the length of the field, Walsh was almost flawless. He went 4 of 5 on the drive for 59 yards, including the 7-yard game-winning touchdown to Charlie Moore. It was Walsh's best sequence of the day. Even though he had a few passes that were thrown behind or low of receivers, his receivers could've helped him a little more. For starters, Walsh threw the best deep ball of his Cowboy career, and Josh Stewart dropped it.
A less-than-stellar day for a group with tons of potential. They were playing a bit shorthanded, going without Blake Jackson, Blake Webb and Austin Hays. But even without those receivers, the guys who played needed to be more sure handed. Yes, they did their jobs late, but having the dropsies for a second consecutive week isn't a good sign.

We just recently last week built a new arena. 100ft x 140ft. We used treated posts concreted in with no climb horse wire and three rails. It cost roughly $1500 for everything. We wanted a dog/small child proof arena so you could not do the no climb wire.

Oregon's newest covered bridge is not a "true" covered bridge because it is not supported with a wooden truss. The bridge, built in 1982, is a sixty foot concrete span covered with a wooden roof. Don Clark, former Multnomah County Executive, argued for a covered bridge in his county to represent Oregon's tradition of roofed river crossings.
Take Foster Road east from Interstate 205 to 134th Street. Turn right and continue 1/2 mile to the bridge.

Close call on the highway makes one 'weak in the knees'Posted Wednesday, June 17, 2009, at 9:09 PM
The term "weak in the knees" doesn't come up in my conversations very often but when it does, it's not because I've got bad knees.
Weak in the knees means some sudden, unexpected, and unwelcome, event caused my knees to temporarily feel like Raggedy Ann's knees.
Most of the few times I've had it happen, it's been because of a very close call on the road.
It's been a long time since I've had the weak knees but I got them on Monday around suppertime when I was on my way to Bloomington with two teens in the car.
You know the road - the up and down, round this way, round that way hills and curves start east of Bloomfield and by the time we were in the neighborhood of the Sharkey Curve, some guy in a hurry scared the daylights out of me.
He was an older guy (but it was hard to tell because he didn't sit too tall in the saddle) driving an older, rust-spotted junky-looking big white four-door sedan with a black top like a bat out of hell.
He came up behind me so fast and got so close to my back bumper, I thought it was someone who had fallen asleep at the wheel or had some kind of medical problem that was causing him to lose control and accelerate. He got so close, I speeded up to avoid getting hit from behind, but there was a small dark red SUV in front of me so I could only move up so far.
Thank goodness the guy dropped back, but then, he did it again. When I saw him flying up toward me again, I thought maybe he was trying to scare me on purpose -- playing some kind of weird game. He was riding my bumper so close - it had to be inches - my heart got a workout - then he suddenly dropped back again.
I told the kids I had a problem.
And then, when I looked in my rear view mirror and saw him accelerating toward me again for the third time, I blurted out to the kids to get ready because I was going to pull off the road. I just didn't know where but I knew I had to get off and get out of his way.
Lickety-split, he was back on my bumper then pulled out into the left-hand lane and passed me going 90... on a double-yellow line on a curve.
We watched as he did the same thing to the vehicle in front of us and passed it on a yellow line, then the vehicle in front of that in another no-passing zone.
So to the immature guy who did that, if you happen to read this, know that if I every see your car doing that on the road again, I'll have your license plate number the next time.
People like you ought to have to take some kind of test before your license is renewed to see if you're smart enough to drive in eastern Greene County.
What is it about a double-yellow line that you don't understand?

On the way home the other day, I witnessed three near accidents. One was a motorcycle pulling out into the road without looking. Another involved a guy YAKKING ON HIS CELLPHONE and paying no attention while turning left at an intersection right in front of an oncoming vehicle. The third involved someone, who didn't see the need to yield for an ambulance with lights and sirens blaring.

LOL, I sure know that feeling! Just last Tuesday while driving from one end of Linton to the other, twice a car pulled out in front of me and I was almost hit head on by a truck being driven by a guy that was looking down and crossed the center line. Some days I think my car must be completely invisible!
