Quinoa Cobbler
Featuring DHC Quinoa Bowl
INGREDIENTS (serves 8)
2 1/2 pounds peaches, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar, or to taste
2 Tablespoons butter, softened
2 DHC Quinoa Bowls
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup chilled butter
2/3 cup whipping cream
1 cup blueberries
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the peach slices with the brown sugar. Lightly grease 8 individual baking dishes with the butter and fill with the peaches. Bake for 15 minutes.
While the peaches are baking, make the cobbler topping. In a large bowl, mix the quinoa, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and grated orange rind. With a pastry blender, cut in the chilled butter until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal. Stir in the cream.
Divide the blueberries among the 8 baking dishes. With a spoon, drop the batter onto the fruit, covering the surfaces as much as possible. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes more or until the crust is a golden brown.
• You can also bake this cobbler
using a single 9x9x2 inch baking
dish. On the second pass, bake for
40 minutes or until peaches are
tender and crust is golden brown.
• To easily peel a ripe peach: Dip into boiling water for 45 seconds. Let cool and the skin should slip off easily.
• Grate the orange peel right into
the mixing bowl to capture the
orange essence.

Geocoding with PHP and the Google Maps API
Article Comments (13 total)
Hi There, I would like a user to find a specific address then also have a list of all the suburbs within a 15km radius of that address? Has anybody got a clue or something similar? Much Appreciated...
cheers for the easy to use geocoder :)
Thanks for the article. You had mentioned something at the end about creating a caching solution. I have a table in my DB that containts the fields, (user_id, lat, lon) I want to be able to assign the returned latitude, and longitude with the highest accuracy to vaiables for easy database entry, I also want to be able to get the Address, city, state, and zip that is returned from the geocoder to maitain database consistancy. What syntax would I use and which class would I add it to to accomplish this task. I am not too familiar iwth OOP, so any help would be apreciated.
I uploaded all the files and tested test.php, but was stopped short by a fatal error message -- no cURL support on my server. I then edited
Geocoder.php to make it use
fopen() instead of curl functions and it seems to work.
I am uncertain, though, if the original and my version work exactly the same. Maybe someone can advise?
// Geocoder.php
// I changed lines 32-35 ...
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
// ...into...
$handle = fopen($url, "rb");
$response = stream_get_contents($handle);

The Seattle Mariners are in talks with outfielder Nelson Cruz and targeting closer Fernando Rodney, according to CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman. The Mariners had been linked as a front-runner to Cruz throughout the offseason. Discussions may have heated up in the past few days, according to Heyman, and the Mariners reportedly are willing to hand out a multi-year deal for the 33-year-old slugger. Cruz is one of five remaining free agents with a draft choice attached to his signing by virtue of his being extended the qualifying offer by his old Texas Rangers team. Cruz had 27 home runs, 76 RBIs and a .266 batting average for the Rangers last year before accepting a 50-game PED suspension tied to the Biogenesis scandal. Rodney, 37, was 5-4 with a 3.38 ERA and 37 saves in 66 2/3 innings last season for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2012, he had a 0.60 ERA and finished fifth in Cy Young voting.

Coral Springs just paid some Tennessee marketing firm $70,000 to come up with a catchy new motto. Are you ready? "Coral Springs…everything under the sun."
Puh-lease. I could do a lot better a lot cheaper.
For half the price, here's what I would have given Coral Springs residents: "My city commission just spent $35,000, and all we got was this lousy logo!"
Or, "Coral Springs…where the sawgrass is always greener."
Or, "English still spoken here."
Hey, at least the money would stay local.
I don't doubt the hard-working folks at North Star Destination Strategies of Nashville put in loads of effort for their latest "community branding client," as saps… I mean cities, like Coral Springs are called.
Coral Springs joins a list of North Star clients that include McKinney, Texas ("Unique by nature"), Brookings, S.D. ("Bring your dreams"), and Columbus, Ind. ("Unexpected. Unforgettable.") Sorry, but in the case of Columbus, Ind., I would have gone with, "Not the one in Ohio."
Over the past year, North Star staffers came to Coral Springs to interview residents and tour the city. Then they pored over "mountains of qualitative and quantitative research data" (as the company's website describes the branding process). Then they held hours and hours of brainstorming sessions and meetings.
And then they came up with, "Everything under the sun."
In a way, it almost would have been better if the North Star gang spared everyone the time, pretense and BS and just took the $70,000, blew it on stone crabs, hookers and a week at the Hard Rock, and cooked up the same slogan.
It's been a rough year for government marketing efforts. Last month, there was a flap over a new state business logo/motto. Enterprise Florida, which gets state money, came up with the slogan, "Florida – the perfect climate for business." But instead of the letter "I", it used an image of a men's tie, angering women's groups.
I would have gone gender neutral, and gone with something like "Florida: Come waste away in Margaritaville."
Or, "Florida: You'll be blown away by our insurance rates (and hurricanes)."
Or, "Florida: Who needs a living wage? We've got cheap beer and fishing!"
So as a public service, and to get a jump start on my next career, I offer some more city branding mottoes completely gratis. And if you want to save your local city some spare change, feel free to send or Tweet me your suggestions (@heymikemayo), and I'll publish them on my blog.
On your mark, get set, brand:
Tamarac: Come bribe…uh, build with us.
Wellington: A great place to horse around (but please, let your chauffeur drive).
Fort Lauderdale: Enjoy our beach...while it's still here.
Boca Raton: Botox, detox, lox.
Lauderdale Lakes: We're broke, good luck fixing us.
Palm Beach: Rush and Trump…this ain't no dump!
Miramar: It means sea view, but all we can see is traffic on I-75.
Boynton Beach: Putting the "oy!" in retirement living since 1976.
Hollywood: If you're looking for stars on a sidewalk, head 3,000 miles west. But if you're looking for poutine on a Broadwalk, bingo!
Whew. That'll be $500,000, please. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to fish and find some cheap beer.

Review: Myth of the Machine : Technics and Human DevelopmentUser Review - Carl Stevens - Goodreads
The themes stretching back over millennia are still powerful even if an occasional contemporary reference is 45 years out of date. I read this as background for a novel I am writing about a character who will "remember" the ancient history Mumford elucidates so well. Read full review
Review: Myth of the Machine : Technics and Human DevelopmentUser Review - DryTung - Goodreads

EQUESTRIAN: Tomlinson's Mistral Hojris bows out at the top
3:01pm Sunday 22nd December 2013 in Sport
IT WAS the end of an era at the London International Horse Show as Oaksey's Laura Tomlinson officially retired her long-time partner Mistral Hojris on an emotionally-charged evening at Olympia in front of a packed house
Tomlinson and Mistral Hojris, better known as Alf, have enjoyed a spectacular eight-year association.
Having broken through on the international dressage circuit in 2005, they have been in the vanguard as Britain gradually became the dominant force in the sport.
Their medal haul began at the 2005 FEI European Championships for Juniors and Young Riders in Barzago in Italy, where they won team silver and individual bronze.
The pair's most notable achievements, however, include team silver and individual bronze at the FEI Europeans at Windsor in 2009; three silver medals at the 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games in Kentucky; team gold and individual bronze at the 2011 FEI Europeans in Rotterdam; and most recently, team gold and individual bronze at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Laura, who owns the 18-year-old gelding with her parents, Wilfried and Ursula Bechtolsheimer, said: "Alf has given me and my family so much joy over the years, especially on the four occasions that we've competed together at Olympia, and in my eyes he's more than earned his retirement."
Laura said Alf will now stay in light work at home with plenty of hacking.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Dujardin, Laura's Olympic gold-medal-winning team-mate, completed a hat-trick of world records as she won the London stage of the dressage World Cup at Olympia.
Partnering Valegro, with whom she won double gold at London 2012, the 28-year-old now hold the records in all three elements of her sport having scored 93.975% in the Grand Prix freestyle.
Lyneham's Jessica Mendoza riding Spirit T finished on the fastest time (39.12 sec) but had the penultimate fence down, to finish third in the Dodson & Horrell and World Class Programme U23 Championships at Olympia's International Horse Show.

CAA Wrestlers Wrap-Up Competition at NCAA Championships
RICHMOND, Va. (March 25, 2013) – Fourteen CAA wrestlers wrapped up competition on the second day of the 2013 NCAA Wrestling Championship in Des Moines, Iowa. Binghamton's Donnie Vinson earned two more victories in the 149 championship. Boston University's Nestor Taffur added a victory in the 157 bracket while Hofstra's Steve Bonanno and Jamie Franco earned wins in the 125 and 133 brackets.
The team standings consisted of Binghamton 32nd, Rider 40th, Hofstra 46th, Boston U. 51st, Drexel 57th, Old Dominion 60th and George Mason 66th.
Vinson finished the championship with a 4-2 record, coming up one win short in his bid for repeat All-America honors. Vinson advanced to the round of 12 in the 157 championship with a 12-0 major decision over 12th-seeded Eric Grajales of Michigan.
Needing a fourth straight win to gain All-America honors, Vinson surrendered a takedown with 15 seconds remaining and lost a heartbreaking 2-1 decision to seventh-ranked Scott Sakaguchi of Oregon State in the fourth round consolation bracket. After a scoreless first period, Vinson escaped in the second to push ahead 1-0. But in a battle between reigning All-Americans, Sakaguchi prevailed in the closing seconds to take the win and eliminate Vinson from the championship.
Taffur picked up his second win of the championship by defeating Joshua Kreimier of Air Force 9-7 in the second round of the consolation bracket of the 157 championship. Taffur opened the match with two takedowns to take a 4-2 lead into the second period. Trailing 5-2 to begin the third, Kreimier got a reversal, but Taffur escaped and added a third takedown en route to the win.
Taffur wrestled 7th-seeded Jesse Dong of Virginia Tech in the third round of the consolation bracket and took a 2-0 lead after earning a late takedown in the first period. Starting on top in the second though, Dong recorded a two-point near fall and a three-point near fall. The Hokie would hold on for the 9-4 victory knocking Taffur out of the championship.
Bonanno, a four-time NCAA qualifier, two-time CAA champion and 2012 All-American, opened the day with a 7-5 victory over Cal State Bakersfield senior Tyler Iwamura in the second round of the consolations of the 125 championship. Bonanno trailed 5-4 at the end of the second period before posting an escape and a takedown in the third to record his 19th victory of the season. Bonanno bowed out of the championship after falling to Minnesota's David Thorn 3-0 in the third consolation round.
Franco opened the day with a 3-1 victory in the first tie-breaker over Joseph Ward from North Carolina in the second consolation round of the 133. Franco was eliminated by fall in the third round of the consolations by Central Michigan's 10th-seeded Scotti Sentes at the 2:25 mark.
Ten other CAA wrestlers finished their runs in the championship after suffering second-round losses in their respective weight classes. Binghamton's seventh-seeded Nate Schiedel finished 2-2 in the 197 bracket after suffering a pin fall loss to Nikolas Brown of Chattanooga (6:12). The Bearcats' Derek Steeley fell to Geoffrey Alexander 13-5 in the consolation round of the 133 bracket.
Boston University's Dane Harlowe and Kevin Innis each suffered losses in the second round of the consolation brackets to be eliminated from the 133 and the heavyweight championships.
Drexel's Frank Cimato and Brandon Palik each finished 1-2 at the championship after suffering consolation second round losses in the 141 and 197 championships. 12th-seeded Chris Mecate of Old Dominion suffered a pin fall loss to Michael Nevinger of Cornell to bow out of the 141 championship.
Hofstra's Luke Vaith was eliminated with his second loss of the championship in the consolation second round of the 141 championship. Rider's Zac Cibula and Ramon Santiago suffered their second losses of the championship to bow out of the 157 and 165 championships.

Combine orange or grapefruit slices, banana circles, grapes, diced apple or pear, and nuts like chopped walnuts and sliced almonds into a portable container that your child can carry to school. Add in two tablespoons of fruit juice to give the salad a bit more flavor.
It's possible to use low-fat yogurt instead of the fruit juice, but, if you do, the suggestion is for the salad to be refrigerator--not always something that can be done in a school setting.
Drop a low-fat granola bar into the sack and send along a thermos of skim milk.

This project presents an overview of bibliometric analysis, noting several barriers to applying this method in the humanities. Following that, we present a novel online tool for extracting and classifying citations in the humanities.
Visualization and infographics are widely discussed today, both inside and outside of the academy. But despite its popularity and impact, "infovis" has rarely been considered in an ethical light. This work examines the groundwork of infovis ethics and considers how visualization could give rise to obligations to/for certain groups.
This series of research looks at the make up of bioethics from an empirical perspective. We examine issues of interdisciplinarity, collaboration, and topic clusters using methods drawn from citation studies and scholarly communication studies. (With Amanda Favia)

text: To flush with the mandated smaller water use, ANY toilet needs to flush much faster than the old styles. I don't think any of them will work properly with a simple T between them. What will happen is the jet of water created when they flush will flow across and cause splashing in the other toilet, not a good situation, especially if you're sitting there! time to bite the bullet and change it out to the specified fitting.

If you are wanting a true silver curtain, these are not for you. They are pale mint green. If you are wanting curtains to go with the sea foam/chocolate decor, these will match great. If you want a true silver you are out of luck with these. The material was itchy, not silky feeling at all. They do have a little linen texture, but I would say that the quality is so-so, average. Not worth $50/panel in my opinion. They aren't bad, but I would rate them as average. They didn't feel like faux silk, they were itchy to the touch, semi-transparent. I would label them as "light filtering." Against the window you can see some light coming through, they aren't too thick. Average fabric thickness. They are lined. There were two pictures of the gray--a silver one and a more medium gray (not the graphite). I liked both of them fine but when they arrived I realized they were not gray but light mint/sea foam.
I had to return these because they simply didn't go with my decor. I needed a lighter shade than what I selected with these curtains. I was shocked to find these had bronze colored grommets....perhaps silver or black would have been appropriate.
The curtain panels are lovely. I gave a good rating instead of an excellent rating because the color is not actually white. The panels are more creamy colored than white, but I am keeping them because they match better with my decor. The length is perfect, the width is 54" which is nice, and the wrinkles come out easily. Great panels for my guest room!
These panels and nice and airy and perfect for my daughter's bedroom. They really give it a sense of sophistication. They accent her sage green and grey bedroom very well and are a much nicer (and unexpected) alternative to "white" or a complimentary grey or green drape. Heads up, they are not lined so will not block out the sunlight.
I bought these to match with a new quilt for my bedroom and love the way they hang. They were exactly what I was looking for and a good value for my money.
I thought the color was off but when I opened them I was pleasantly surprised. The fabric is beautiful. I will be ordering 2 more panels.
I bought these for the guest bedroom in my apartment to add to the decor and to be used as black out curtains to keep light out while sleeping. These are fantastic for. Both. My husband wasn't thrilled about the metallic finish when I ordered them, but when they got home and were him they were perfect slate gray with just a slight metallic undertone. They are perfect for dressing up the room. I had initially only bought two panels because that was all we needed for our apartment. We have since bought a house and I was thrilled to still find he, here a year and a half later to match and complete the fullness needed for our longer windows. Very happy with this purchase.
As some of the reviews mention, the creases take a while to fall out naturally so you may want to consider dry cleaning them before hanging but overall- they look far more expensive than they were. Just the right amount of sheen- I like them a lot.

Antarctica Photos
More than 100 years ago a team of Australian explorers went to Antarctica. Led by Douglas Mawson, there was a photographer on the team, who took photos of the wild, unexplored land.
KATHY BOWLEN: At the turn of last century, the Antarctic was the last great unexplored wilderness.
As Douglas Mawson set off on his groundbreaking journey, photographer Frank Hurley was there, recording everything with his stereoscopic camera.
And the view as they approached the wilderness may have looked like this but these pictures are virtual, not real, created with a computer program.
This story is about how that computer technology is being applied to Hurley's photos in ways the artist could never have imagined.
Hundreds, but not all, of Frank Hurley's precious photographs are housed at the SA Museum, and the fragile stereoscopic glass plates on which they were captured reveal much more detail than would be found in a standard negative.
It's a three-dimensional imagery, which is rarely seen in its full glory.
CLIVE WILSON-ROBERTS: They do represent the earliest views of some parts of Antarctica.
We have to remember that, at that stage, much of Antarctica had never been seen, much less photographed.
KATHY BOWLEN: But a project being developed by Melbourne academic Dr Peter Morse aims to bring the pictures to a much wider audience.
Peter Morse has scanned dozens of Frank Hurley's and other Antarctic photos into his computer.
He's then pinpointed where these pictures were taken using satellite photos and aerial and ground survey data from the Australian Antarctic Division.
He uses this to create what he describes as a "reasonably accurate" synthetic computer model of the landscape.
DR PETER MORSE: So in a sense it becomes a kind of time machine.
We can fly around this synthetic landscape, which represents the real landscape, to the spots where these photographs were taken 100 years ago.
And if we can extract the information, then we can generate 3-D models so to an extent you can walk into the picture and look around inside the picture as well.
KATHY BOWLEN: But the greatest challenge has been to convert it to an interactive, three-dimensional program, which can only be viewed using special 3-D glasses.
PAUL BOURKE: You would imagine someone being in an environment where they have a joystick or some other input device and they would have the glasses on, they would be seeing a 3-dimensional scene, they would then be able to navigate around the image.
DR PETER MORSE: For instance, you could look at a photograph of one of the grottos under Mawson's hut in 3-D, and I've already done this, and you can see the names of the manufacturers of items in there.
And that can be cross-referenced with letters and purchase orders and all this kind of stuff that would be of cultural archaeological significance.
KATHY BOWLEN: Peter hopes that, in the future, this type of virtual heritage project could be repeated with any historic images, and his ambition is to see it displayed not only in museums, but places like shopping centres where anyone with a passing curiosity can travel back in time.
story notes
set off
The phrasal verb set off has several meanings.
more information: set off
Groundbreaking means new, or something that's never been done before.
Example: She's doing some groundbreaking research into the causes of diabetes.
stereoscopic camera
A stereoscopic camera is a camera that takes pictures that can be looked at through a stereoscope. A stereoscope is an old fashioned device used for looking at photos.
Two pictures of the same thing are taken from slightly different angles.
Something that is virtual is not real, but it's almost real. It looks like it's real.
Three-dimensional means being deep, as well as long and wide. It's often written and called 3-D. For example, this picture has only two dimensions, width and height.
But this next picture has three dimensions: width, height and depth.
If something is three-dimensional, it looks real or lifelike.
To scan is to take a copy of something into your computer.
synthetic landscape
Synthetic means artificial or not real.
A synthetic landscape, like the one created from Frank Hurley's photos, is a landscape that's not real.
virtual heritage project
Heritage here means history. It's the culture and traditions of a community.
This is a heritage project. It is a project that records history.
A virtual heritage project is a project that uses computers and other technology to recreate events or places from history.

A trash truck caught fire along southbound Highway 101 this afternoon near the Del Norte Boulevard exit, forcing the California Highway Patrol to close at least one of the highway's lanes.
The patrol said the driver of the semi was trying to dump the truck's burning load onto the right shoulder of the highway.
The fire was reported at 3:22 p.m.
The highway was completely reopened at 5:54 p.m., according to the patrol, after the truck was towed away.
Traffic was backed up in the area, which is between Oxnard and Camarillo.
No injuries were reported.
The incident remained under investigation.

"Whatever, I'm gonna go play with these new gloves."
"Cool it."
Karin wasn't all too offended by that comment. It was actually one of the more witty things Fitha had ever said.
"The woman we're going to capture is named Viola. I get to be the one who presents her to Therion, but there will be lots of loot for the rest of you to give. Probably.
Also, we might be able to get a Wish out of some Genies, so don't mess this up."

"...Chest Princess..."
"...help me..."
"...I think I'm preggies with cake... ;n;..."
Eros was already as prepared as she'd ever be, then. Shortarse didn't even seem to notice the gauntlets being handed out.
"...W...What's a Violer?..." There was a genuine air of mystery in her voice now. "And why... why does it have lots of loots?..."
Gnoryc was still tossing food into his open mouth, pretty much inhaling it. He stopped for a moment, to share his knowledge. "A violer is some food dat walks around and you gotta kill it."
Karin just ignored the stupidity coming from Eros and Gnoryc. It was better not to get involved with any of that.
"Okay, idiots. I need to go into town, so you all get to come along so I know you don't break anything. Gnoryc, you get the joy of being an ugly mule again, but I don't think you have the brain power to find it a boring experience."
Gnoryc was poly-morphed into the dumb looking animal and Karin set Eros on his back.
Karin's quasit changed into it's wolf form and made sure it was touching Fitha.
The group teleported to the outskirts of the town to avoid suspicion.
"Alright, I need to get some materials. You guys can buy whatever you can afford. I'm not your mother."
Karin headed to the shops and bought herself two tiny platinum shields.
Karin's GP: 70-50(25 for each shield) so 20

Eros just spend her time doodling about the village well, singing a sweet melody to herself that carried a soft and aluring tone. Before she knew it, half a dozen random villagers had stopped their daily toil and were just standing there, lovingly enthralled. So she stood ontop the edge of the well and continued...
SPOILER! :Eros cast Enthrall, and then Unhallow.
Everybody within 250 ft is now freindly towards her. Everything within 40ft of the well is now subject to the circle against good power, aswell as rebuking dead getting a +4 bonus whilst turning dead gets a -4. >:3
It wasn't often that Eros was so appreciated like that. Left a really warm feeling in the gizzards, you know? ('u')
Karin spent the day buying some spell components and poking around town, primarily looking for the red light districts and any alleyways that seemed like they could hide a body. Or several.
Which tied in with how she spent her night. Karin spent her night pretending to be a hooker. In fairness, given what Karin actually did for her bosses, hooker probably wasn't too far from her job description. Hooker/Hitwoman, really.
In any case, Karin, unsurprisingly, had very little trouble finding johns who were literally fighting for a chance with her. The blonde provided the expected services for four of them, making sure the other working girls saw her so as to create an air of legitimacy, while her other three johns winded up finding out what other sorts of things Karin could do with her body.
Karin ended up making 3 GP from her paying customers, and 16 GP more from the ones the knockout with the giant knockers knocked out.
Her hard night's work done, Karin gathered up the rest of the party to the alley where she'd stashed her unconscious victims, and teleported everyone back to their ~secret underground lair~
The lair was a bit different. For one thing, the Kobolds had continued their work of cleaning, setting up the furniture and torches they'd brought from Worldbreaker, and generally tidying up. Also the entire place smelled of Kobolds, which is to say of wet dog. Still better than the sewer, of course.
Also there were no live Kobolds to be seen, but the room Karin had teleported them to did have several of the little critters, dead.
Had someone found their lair? Or maybe Eros' cooking killed them?
Gee Scoob, looked like we got a mystery on our hands!
Do you like big boobs? Dragons? Ninja? Martial arts? Wizards? Then click here and make all your wildest dreams come true!!
Karin wondered if Viola had already made her first move. Seeing as all the kobolds were dead and her quasit couldn't smell anything, it had to be either one of two things.
An assassin or another ghost.
It was time to find out which one it was.
"Eros, lead in front, Gnoryc take back. Look for traps."

With each passing day, Jeb Bush looks more and more like a presidential candidate.
At this stage, he's striking the obligatory, non-committal tone, but he's just come out with a book on immigration reform, is showing up on radio and TV talk shows, and was a headliner at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. The Wall Street Journal also reproduced his CPAC remarks on its op-ed page, giving them impact above and beyond the soundbites of TV news.
The re-emergence of Florida's former governor onto the political scene is a welcome development for the Republican Party.
If the GOP is to regain the presidency, it will have to ditch its fascination with the likes of Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Rick Santorum and a host of other political lightweights, and start listening to people with stature and proven political records who can appeal to voters beyond the party's self-styled "conservatives."
Jeb fits the bill.
During his eight years as governor, he pushed much-needed education reform, served as a capable steward of the state's treasury and broadened the party's attraction to Hispanics. Florida's economy did well during his tenure, and he left office with an approval rating topping 60 percent.
I first met Jeb in 1994, during his first campaign for governor, and was singularly unimpressed.
His grasp of the issues was mediocre at best and his campaign style lackadaisical. He came across as a political scion who felt entitled to elective office because of his last name. Not surprisingly, Jeb lost to incumbent Gov. Lawton Chiles.
A man's character, however, can be measured by how he reacts to defeat.
In 1998, Bush came back a changed candidate.
He possessed unbounded energy and enthusiasm. Jeb knew the issues thoroughly, and demonstrated a level of intelligence all too rare in the political sphere. He also had converted to Catholicism, the spiritual import of which is known only to him. This time around, he won by more than 10 percentage points, and repeated the feat four years later.
Of course, another Floridian also is acting as if a presidential run is in his future. Sen. Marco Rubio, a protege of Jeb's, is one of the GOP's brightest lights. A Time magazine cover even dubbed Rubio, "The Republican Savior."
In all probability, one of the two will be on the presidential ticket in 2016, most likely in the top spot. The Electoral College math dictates this must be so. Florida is the largest "swing" state, and for Republicans to win the presidency, they must capture its 29 electoral votes. Having a Floridian on the ticket won't guarantee a win in Florida, particularly if Hillary Clinton tops the the Democratic Party's ticket, but it would go a long way in making a GOP victory more likely.
The presidency tends to follow demographics and wealth. Before the Civil War, Virginia stood as a center of population and monied interests, and five presidents claimed it as their residence at the time of their election. In postbellum America, with the South in ruins, none claimed it.
After the Civil War, money and people poured into the industrial Midwest. Before the war, Ohio could claim only one president (William Henry Harrison.) Between 1876 and 1920, five presidents were elected from Ohio.
In post-World War II America, the population and wealth headed to the Sun Belt. In the half century since the assassination of John F. Kennedy, eight men have been elected to the presidency. Two, (Nixon and Reagan) claimed California, the most populous state, as their residence. Texas, now second in population, has three of the eight to its credit (Lyndon Johnson, and Bush 41 and 43.)
Florida is about to overtake New York for third place in population. Clearly, the time has arrived for a president from the Sunshine State.
