Lyndia Mesidor joined our team early last month as the newest Design Fellow on our Port-au-Prince team. Lyndia was born in Montreal, Canada, to two Haitian parents and grew up in Miami, Florida. She initially came to Haiti for three months to help Haitian architect Yves Francois where she met the Architecture for Humanity team and was asked to stick around. Lyndia decided to put off grad school at NYU to work with Architecture for Humanity designing schools for Haiti.
Lyndia is a natural born runner, though she hasn't been able to for a while and complains that she's getting too scrawny.

Keep apple prices up after storage
By KARA LYNN DUNN
Consumers like apples year-round. But keeping the crunch in premium-quality, fresh market applies and extending the selling season is still a challenge — one that Chris Watkins, Cornell's postharvest fruit scientist, has been working with growers on since late 2006.
Watkins has worked with Hudson Valley, Lake Champlain and western New York growers to evaluate multiple influences on apple storage, specifically McIntoshes and Empires. Sun Orchard Fruit Co. is one of those cooperators.
The Burt, N.Y., company packs and stores fruit from 40 western New York growers. "We're looking for the production, harvest and storage management regime that'll give growers and sellers a natural advantage, as supply drops and late-season demand creates premium pricing," says Sun President Steve Riessen.
"The goal is to identify best pre- and postharvest practices for extending storage that also maintains superior fruit quality," adds Watkins. "We want to overcome factors that limit internal fruit quality, resulting in shorter-than-desirable marketing periods."
The project is funded by the New York Farm Viability Institute and the N.Y. State Apple Research Development Program.
Key Points
• Keeping the crunch in apples involves more than storage.
• Retaining premium quality is especially valuable for exports.
• Cumulative information will benefit the industry positively.
Premium vs. juice difference
Sun Orchard stores about 500,000 bushels of apples in a controlled-atmosphere, or CA, facility. Tim Mansfield, sales and marketing director, says, "If we enhance and extend our storage supply for 20% to 30% of the harvest, the selling difference could be big — premium price instead of juice price."
Riessen notes that they're gaining insight on how extended spring blossoming, later harvest dates, seasonal growing conditions and the oxygen/carbon dioxide balance in storage affect storability.
Crunch factor is crucial
Cornell researchers estimate more than 85% of all Empire apples in New York placed in CA storage are treated with SmartFresh, a 1-MCP (methylcyclopropene) product, to slow ripening. "SmartFresh particularly helps Empires maintain their 'crunch,' " adds Watkins.
Growers and packers also can improve storage quality with optimal harvest timing for fresh market or storage. Many fruit growers, he reports, have adopted early harvesting, thanks to educational outreach.
"We're learning more all the time," adds Riessen.
For more on ongoing postharvest maturity management and storage technology research, call Watkins at 607-255-1784, or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dunn writes from her farm in Mannsville, N.Y.
NYFVI is a farmer-led nonprofit that invests in innovative projects to increase the success of ag production enterprises, protect farm-based natural resources and produce measurable farm-level results. For more information, visit the Web site www.nyfvi.org.
BIG CHILLER: Steve Riessen (left) and Tim Mansfield contend that both preharvest and postharvest practices can help capture premium apple prices.

Always on the Hook
What does it mean for a fishing collaborative to be "on the hook"? It means we're accountable for the quality of everything we do, at every step along the supply chain. Like our products, our company came from the Gulf— created by dedicated professional fishermen who understand that the ocean is the first, and most important, link in their supply chain.
We work to conserve the purity of the Gulf and the integrity of the people who make it their livelihood. Our fishermen work to maintain stringent standards of quality and honesty—including our TransparenSea™ Tracking System, which can tell you exactly how that fresh, delicious Gulf Wild® seafood found its way to you. Together, we're working toward a sea change that will keep our oceans thriving.
Is that genuine American Red Snapper you just ordered? Do you know where your Grouper is from? When you eat Gulf Wild-caught fish, you know who harvested your fish, from where in the Gulf of Mexico, even at what port your fish landed. Safety. Security. Peace-of-Mind.
We Are Fishermen.
The Gulf Wild brand of seafood is a non-profit organization and a program of the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Shareholders Alliance, a commercial fishing trade organization. The Mission of Gulf Wild, is to engage and empower the BRANDING of seafood sustainability and fishery conservation in the Gulf of Mexico by inspiring positive change from the fishermen to the end consumer.
Working Toward a Sea Change.
Gulf Wild® is a proud member and active supporter of like-minded organizations nationwide

Who is my Neighbor? Solidarity in the Era of Globalization
El Salvador
Cost: $900
Passport required
El Salvador holds a prominent place in the recent history of the Catholic church because its decade-long civil war highlighted both the many injustices at the time and raised up examples of the sometimes dormant Christian tradition of nonviolence as part of a prophetic voice for justice. The SLU delegation to El Salvador will partner with CEBES-FUNDAHMER, an organization of ecclesial base communities that work to implement human development projects through partnerships with local communities. We will learn about the history of the civil war, the issues behind it and how these issues continue to impact Salvadoran society over 20 years after the war formally ended. We will visit and live with local communities and see how U.S. policies like supporting the neo-liberal economic movement and the three strikes laws passed in the USA have affected them.

Contemplation In Action: Engaging Faith for Justice
Jamaica, Caribbean (Pending)
Cost: $900
Passport Required
This trip will partner with local Jesuits to experience and learn from their engagement with the daily challenges found in Kingston Jamaica. St. Anne's, a church served by Jesuits, is more than a place of worship, it anchors outreach into education, housing, politics, ecology and humanitarian relief. We will engage all of these issues while asking what it means to both contemplate and act; bringing our diverse faiths to bear upon a world in need of our action.

Faith, Justice and Public Health in Appalachia
Wheeling, WV
Cost: $400
This trip is led by a partnership between Campus Ministry and the College for Public Health and Social Justice to encounter the unique public health challenges created by rural poverty and the ways local communities are and are not addressing them. Students will attend presentations by local organizations about access to nutritious food, alcohol and drug abuse, and the effects of environmental degradation due to industrial activities in the region. Students will also work with local agencies addressing these issues, gaining a more nuanced understanding through personal connection with patients in public health clinics and children in afterschool programs.

Encountering the Other on the Border
Nogales, AZ
Cost: $400
Passport Required
A Faith that seeks Justice naturally draws us to the margins of our societies. This trip travels to the U.S./Mexico border to enter into the challenges surrounding undocumented immigration into the United States. The group will meet with local leaders to learn about the economic, social, and legal aspects of immigration into the U.S. We will work with organizations that work to support and protect people put at risk by both the journey across the border and the U.S. policy of repatriation of Illegal immigrants.

Strangers in Our Midst: Interfaith Approaches to Justice in a Contemporary Urban Environment
North St. Louis, MO
Cost: $300
This group will explore the issues related to public health and economic development by staying close to home. We will engage the economic, political and social dimensions of local poverty with a special emphasis on building relationships between community organizations and Saint Louis University. With that understanding the participants of the trip will advocate for social justice in North St. Louis but also highlight the positive accomplishments found in the community and organizations working in the area. During the immersion, we will use social analysis and open, faith-based reflections to discern how SLU and each student can be men and women for all St. Louis. Following the trip, we plan to produce a tangible resource or a series of events that will continue to strengthen the relationship between SLU students and our neighbors to the north.

Greek Life Mission Trip
Johnson City, TN
Cost: $400
This trip provides a unique opportunity for the members of the diverse Greek Chapters at SLU to come together as a community that does service for others. It is also an invitation for them to experience service as more than swinging a hammer or digging a trench and enter into solidarity with people marginalized by our social structures. Participants will travel to the Appalachian mountains in western Virginia where they will engage in direct service and learn from people who are working to address rural poverty.

Seems everyone has a list these days. Well, I have one of my own that not only works for me, but for hundreds my clients as well. These foods will not only help your body burn more calories but they are delicious, affordable, and easy to prepare. So print out this list and get energized!
1.) High-fiber cereal. Look for 5 grams or more of fiber and no more than 8 grams of sugar. I like to have at least one hot cereal (rolled oats) and one cold (Kashi Go Lean Crunch).
2.) Apples. OK, any fresh fruit will do, but apples are so easy to grab and go, we always have them around. Make it easy on yourself and have at least two different fresh fruits you can choose to eat each day. This week, I have apple slices and grapes on hand.
3.) Almonds. Your "portable protein" -- the perfect emergency snack (or pair it up with a fruit or veggie). Theyre high in metabolism-boosting protein and healthy fats, but it is easy to eat too many. Measure out 1/4-cup servings and stick them in snack-size bags.
4.) Eggs. Yes, they are good for you. They are considered the gold standard of protein quality because of their superior amino-acid content. It takes less than three minutes to prepare an egg. One of my favorite on-the-go egg tips: Microwave your eggs in a coffee cup (lightly coated with olive oil for easy clean up). Your egg is now the perfect shape to top a whole-wheat English muffin and eat on the run.
5.) Spinach. This super veggie goes with everything. At only five calories per cup, how could it not? Use in omelets, wraps, salads, side dishes... the list goes on.
6.) Yogurt. A great source of protein and the live cultures help boost immunity, yogurt goes great with high-fiber cereals. However, avoid choosing brands that contain high-fructose corn syrup. Read the ingredients.
7.) Grilled chicken. OK, this is tied with frozen wild salmon filets (loaded with omega-3s) as one of the easiest, most versatile "meal makers" available.
8.) Black beans. Packed with the leanest protein and very high in fiber - and only $.75 a can - how can you go wrong? Beans are a great alternative to those who feel like they are eating the same protein day in and day out.
9.) Salsa. Yes, tomatoes have wonderful health benefits, but in salsa form they also work well to add low cal, energizing flavor to your meals, from eggs to rice and beans and even as a salad dressing (my absolute favorite). Choose a spicy variety and get the added metabolism-boosting kick from Capsaicin, the compound in peppers that gives them their bite.
10.) Green tea. Now, I used to be an avid Starbucks fan, but the extra calories and tons of sugar completely sabotaged my results. Green tea was the perfect replacement. It has a lower level of caffeine (to help me get off the energy roller coaster) and is loaded with EGCG. (Studies show this ingredient causes your brain and nervous system to run more quickly, helping you burn more calories.) Bonus: It enhances your mood as well. Be sure to brew your own for these benefits, though -- they are NOT found in ready-made green teas.

I often listen to Nolan on Five Live at weekends. Certainly no intellectual heavyweight. Has two cards to play - simplistic devil's advocate or plain-man-in-the-pub-who-needs-simple-explanations.
He is attractive in neither guise. Should be easy meat.
the poor man's Eammon Holmes does a lot of that
unlike someone like James Whale who (like him or not) has a definite opinion, Nolan just swings back and forth, in a pathetic attempt to try and annoy the listeners.

Tucson >Food & Dining > Egg Connection
3114 E Fort Lowell Rd, Tucson, AZ | Directions 8571632.264984 -110.926627
Neighborhoods: Ward 3, St. Francis Cabrini
GOOD OL' FASHIONED AMERICAN STYLE FOOD – Very good meals, served quickly, and fresh. Nothing fancy here but the prices are LOW and the portions are generous. Breakfast is especially reasonable & the service is very friendly. I have eaten there many times and have not been disappointed!
Not everyone understands – I have been to the Egg Connection several times. I have taken many dates there in the past. Now of course it is my wife's favorite restaurant. I even proposed to her there. I can not help but try to relate situations in life. I do my best to see both sides of any story. I love this restaurant. They have the best homemade French toast this side of the Milky Way.
I wanted to express my concern with the person that commented on the lemons. Most people who patronize a restaurant do not know what is exactly involved in running such an establishment. Especially with the cost of fuel increasing, having supplies -- such as produce -- delivered to the restaurant is not cheap. It costs the establishment money to purchase the lemons so why should someone else get them for free? A lot of people who order "lemon water" use sugar at the table to make their own lemonade. That sugar costs money too. I just want people to understand the other side of it. The restaurant is not making money on lemon water -- merely covering their costs to get the lemons there in the first place.
I hope that is helpful in understanding how a small mom & pop establishment has to survive. A major corporation such as IHOP or Deny's does not have the same worries as a small business. You might have to pay fifty cents for some lemon; but, you will not get the quality and service for a better price anywhere else.
My advice try it for yourself. You will not regret it.
Charging for lemons when ordering water with a meal! – First time patronizing the Egg Connection today. One must read the entire menu (front to back). Food was good - the usual cafe type of food for breakfast for an omellete, homefries, and toast. I had water to drink and ordered lemons for my water - was appauled when I checked out to find that I was charged 50 cents a dish for lemons for my water. I had gotten two dishes (just the lemons cost $1.00 at checkout). They showed me where on the menu it states that they do indeed charge for lemons but I personally patronize many establishments here in Tucson and have never been charged for lemons when getting water to drink with my meal. I personally will never go back to the Egg Connection!
Best breakfast, best service, fantastic family-owned restaurant – Tucked in the Ft. Lowell/Country Club shopping plaza is a family-owned restaurant that has both standard and innovative dishes, excellent service, and an irrepressible family atmosphere where everyone is welcome.

Christine "Christie" Todd Whitman (born September 26, 1946) is an American Republican politician and author who served as the 50th Governor of New Jersey from 1994 to 2001, and was the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in the administration of President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2003. She was New Jersey's first, and to date, only female governor.[1] She was the second woman and first Republican woman to defeat an incumbent governor in a general election in the United States. She was also the first Republican woman to be reelected governor.[2]
Early life, education, and family[edit]
Whitman was born Christine Todd in New York City, and grew up in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, the daughter of Eleanor Prentice Todd (née Schley) and businessman Webster B. Todd, both interested in New Jersey Republican politics. She attended Far Hills Country Day School[3] and the Chapin School in Manhattan. She graduated from Wheaton College in 1968, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in government. After graduating, she worked on Nelson Rockefeller's presidential campaign.
Whitman is a descendant of two New Jersey political families, the Todds and the Schleys, and related by marriage to New York's politically active Whitmans. She is married to John R. Whitman, a private equity investor. They have two children. She is the granddaughter-in-law of former Governor of New York Charles S. Whitman. Her maternal grandfather, Reeve Schley, was a member of Wolf's Head Society at Yale and the vice president of Chase Bank. He was also a longtime president of the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce.
Whitman's daughter Kate has followed her mother into politics.[4] Most recently, Kate Whitman ran for the 2008 Republican nomination for New Jersey's 7th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, placing second in a primary field of seven candidates with about 20 percent of the vote.[5] Previously, Kate Whitman served as press secretary for Craig Benson's 2002 gubernatorial campaign in New Hampshire, and later, communications director for the New Hampshire Republican State Committee.[6] She also was a Congressional aide[7] and in 2007, she was named executive director of the Republican Leadership Council, her mother's organization which promotes moderate Republicanism.[8]
Whitman also has a Scottish Terrier named Coors, who is the mother of former president George W. Bush's dog Barney.[9]
Whitman has been a resident of Tewksbury Township, New Jersey.[10]
Early career[edit]
During the Nixon administration, Whitman worked in the Office of Economic Opportunity under the leadership of Donald Rumsfeld. She conducted a national outreach tour for the Republican National Committee, was Deputy Director of the New York State Office in Washington, and worked on aging issues for the Nixon campaign and administration.[citation needed]
She was appointed to the Board of Trustees of Somerset County College (now Raritan Valley Community College). Elected to two terms on the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders, she served as Deputy Director and Director of the Board. Among her accomplishments as freeholder was construction of a new county courthouse.
From 1988 to 1990 she served as President of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities in the cabinet of Gov. Thomas Kean.
In 1990, Whitman ran for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Bill Bradley, and lost a close election.[11] She was considered a longshot candidate against the popular Bradley. During her campaign, Whitman criticized the income tax hike proposed by then Gov. James Florio, which Bradley did not take a stance on.
In 1993, Whitman helped to found the Committee for Responsible Government (CRG), a political advocacy group espousing moderate positions in the Republican Party. (In 1997, the CRG softened its pro-choice stance and renamed itself the Republican Leadership Council.)
Governor of New Jersey[edit]
Whitman ran against incumbent James Florio for governor in 1993, and defeated him by one percentage point to become the first female governor in New Jersey history. She was the second woman and first Republican woman to defeat an incumbent governor in a general election, but was unable to gain a majority of the votes, winning by a plurality. Charges of suppression of minority votes were raised during this campaign.[12]
Whitman used as a campaign issue that she would lower state taxes by 10% per year for three years, a campaign promise she kept. Whitman successfully lowered income taxes in New Jersey.[13] The results led to an initial decline in the overall tax burden and suggested that the long-term NJ property tax issue could be addressed. Jim Saxton, in a report to the US congress, argued that New Jersey's income tax cuts improved "the well-being of the New Jersey family" and would not lead to increased property taxes.[14] Saxton cited Tim Goodspeed's research and a recent paper published by the Manhattan Institute. He admitted that "a few localities raised [property] taxes," which Goodspeed expected, but both counted on the flypaper effect to mitigate any widespread or persistent increases. These would emerge later. However, the loss of state revenues created a long term revenue shortfall that could not be easily reversed and subsequent governors were unable to offset the huge cumulative revenue losses as well as interest accumulation. Such deficits were offset by bond issues that have a time bomb effect of the financial status of the state.
In 1995, Whitman came under criticism after she said that young African-American males sometimes played a game known as Jewels in the Crown, which she claimed had as its intent having as many children as possible out of wedlock. Whitman apologized for making the remark and voiced her opposition to attempts by Congressional Republicans to bar unwed teenage mothers from receiving welfare payments.[15]
In 1996, Whitman joined a New Jersey State Police patrol in Camden, New Jersey. During the patrol, the officers stopped a 16-year-old African American male named Sherron Rolax, and frisked him. After the police found nothing on him, Whitman also frisked the youth while a state trooper photographed her. In 2000, the image of the smiling governor frisking Rolax was published in newspapers statewide, which drew criticism from civil rights leaders who saw the incident as a violation of Rolax's civil rights and an endorsement by Whitman of racial profiling – especially since Rolax was not arrested or found to be violating any law. Whitman told the press that she regretted the incident and pointed to her 1999 efforts against the New Jersey State Police force's racial profiling practices. In 2001, Rolax learned about the photograph and sued Whitman in federal court, claiming that the search was illegal and an invasion of privacy. The appeals court agreed that the acts did indeed suggest "an intentional violation" of Rolax's rights, and that he "was detained and used for political purposes by his governor," but upheld the trial court's decision that it was too late to sue.[16][17]
In 1996, Whitman rejected her Advisory Council's recommendation to spend tax money on a needle exchange, in an effort to reduce the incidence of HIV infections.[18]
Whitman was re-elected in 1997, narrowly defeating Jim McGreevey, the mayor of Woodbridge Township, who criticized her record on property taxes and automobile insurance rates and by handing over the state vehicle inspection program to parsons corporation of California . Though earlier considered a safe incumbent, Whitman duplicated her 1993 result with a one-point victory and a plurality of the votes. The governor's narrow margin of victory was credited in large part to the candidacy of conservative Republican and Ramapo College professor Murray Sabrin, who ran as a Libertarian. Sabrin finished third in the race with five percent of the vote, mostly from conservative Republicans who otherwise might have voted for the incumbent Whitman.
In 1997, she repealed the one percentage-point increase to the state sales tax that her predecessor, Governor Florio, had imposed (reducing it from 7% to 6%), instituted unspecified education reforms, and removed excise taxes on professional wrestling, which led the World Wrestling Federation to resume holding events in New Jersey. In 1999, Governor Whitman vetoed a bill that outlawed partial birth abortion; the veto was overridden, but the statute was later declared unconstitutional by the courts. In 1999 she also made a cameo appearance on the television show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.[19]
In 1999, Whitman fired Colonel Carl A. Williams, head of the New Jersey State Police, after he was quoted noting that cocaine and marijuana traffickers were often members of minority groups, while the methaphetamine trade was controlled by primarily white biker gangs. The remarks about cocaine and marijuana traffickers were portrayed as racist.[20]
In 2000, under Whitman's leadership, New Jersey's violations of the federal one-hour air quality standard for ground level ozone dropped to four from 45 in 1988. Beach closings reached a record low, and the state earned recognition by the Natural Resources Defense Council for instituting the most comprehensive beach monitoring system in the nation. Additionally, New Jersey implemented a new watershed management program and became the United States leader in opening shellfish beds for harvesting. Governor Whitman agreed to give tax money to owners of one million acres (4,000 km²) more of open space and farmland in New Jersey.
In 2000, when Democratic U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg announced his retirement, Whitman seriously considered being a candidate,[21] but ultimately decided against running.
EPA Administrator[edit]
Whitman was appointed by President George W. Bush as Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, taking office on January 31, 2001.[22][23]
In January 2001, the Clinton administration in its final weeks declared a new drinking water standard of 0.01 mg/L (10 parts per billion, or ppb) arsenic to take effect January 2006. The old drinking water standard of 0.05 mg/L (equal to 50 ppb) arsenic had been in effect since 1942, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had been studying the pros and cons of lowering the arsenic Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) since the late 1980s.[24] The incoming Bush administration suspended the midnight regulation, but after some months of study, Whitman approved the new 10 ppb arsenic standard and its original effective date of January 2006.[25]
Under Whitman's direction as the first director of the EPA under the Bush administration, in 2001 the EPA produced a report detailing the expected effects of global warming in each of the states in the United States. The report was dismissed by President Bush who called it the work of "the bureaucracy."[26]
Whitman appeared twice in New York City after the September 11 attacks to inform New Yorkers that the toxins released by the attacks posed no threat to their health.[27] On September 18, the EPA released a report in which Whitman said, "Given the scope of the tragedy from last week, I am glad to reassure the people of New York and Washington, D.C. that their air is safe to breathe and their water is safe to drink." She also said, "The concentrations are such that they don't pose a health hazard...We're going to make sure everybody is safe."[28] Later, a 2003 report by the EPA's inspector general determined that such assurances were misleading, because the EPA "did not have sufficient data and analyses" to justify the assertions when they were made.[29]
A report in July 2003 from the EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response gave extensive documentation supporting many of the inspector general's conclusions, and carried some of them still further.[30] Further, the report found that the White House had "convinced EPA to add reassuring statements and delete cautionary ones" by having the National Security Council control EPA communications after the September 11 attacks.[31] In December 2007, legal proceedings began in a case on the question of responsibility of government officials in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Whitman was among the defendants in the suit; plaintiffs in the suit allege that Whitman is at fault for saying that the downtown New York air was safe in the aftermath of the attacks.[32] In April 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit overruled the district court, holding that as EPA head Whitman could not be held liable for saying to World Trade Center area residents that the air was safe for breathing after the buildings collapse. The court said that Whitman had based her information on contradictory information and statements from President Bush. The U.S. Department of Justice had argued that holding the agency liable would establish a risky legal precedent because future public officials would be afraid to make public statements.
On June 27, 2003, after having several public conflicts with the Bush administration, Whitman resigned from her position.[33][34]
In an interview in 2007, Whitman stated that Vice President Dick Cheney's insistence on easing air pollution controls, not the personal reasons she cited at the time, led to her resignation.[35] At the time, he pushed the EPA to institute a new rule allowing large polluting plants to make major alterations without installing costly new pollution controls.[35] Refusing to sign off on the new rule, Whitman announced her resignation.[35] Whitman decided that President Bush should have an EPA administrator willing to defend the new rule in court, which she could not bring herself to do.[35] Federal judges later overturned the new rule, saying it violated the Clean Air Act.[35]
Subsequent career[edit]
In early 2005, Whitman released a book entitled It's My Party, Too: Taking Back the Republican Party... And Bringing the Country Together Again in which she criticizes the policies of the George W. Bush administration and its electoral strategy, which she views as divisive.
|The defining feature of the conservative viewpoint is a faith in the ability, and a respect for the right, of individuals to make their own decisions – economic, social, and spiritual – about their lives. The true conservative understands that government's track record in respecting individual rights is poor when it dictates individual choices.[36]
The last chapter of that book, entitled "A Time for Radical Moderates", attempted to speak to radical centrists across the political spectrum.[37]
Whitman formed a political action committee called It's My Party Too (IMP-PAC), intended to help elect moderate Republicans at all levels of government. IMP-PAC is allied with the Republican Main Street Partnership, The Wish List, the Republican Majority for Choice, Republicans for Choice, Republicans for Environmental Protection and the Log Cabin Republicans. After the 2006 midterm elections, IMP-PAC was merged into RLC-PAC, the Republican Leadership Council's PAC.
Since 2003, Whitman has been a member of the Board of Directors for Texas Instruments[38] and United Technologies.[39] Whitman is also co-chair of the CASEnergy Coalition, and in 2007, voiced support for a stronger future role of nuclear power in the United States.[40]
During the 2008 presidential election, Whitman was touted by the media as a candidate for a Cabinet position under both Barack Obama and John McCain.[41][42]
In December 2010, Whitman criticized 2008 Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, commenting that if Palin were to run for President in 2012 and win the Republican nomination, "I don't think she'll win nationwide... [she will] energize the base. But the base isn't big enough and Republicans should have learned that." She went on to say that if Palin were to run,
|She'd have to show me a lot more than I've seen thus far, as far as an understanding of the depth and the complexity of the issues that we face... she was a governor, but the fact that she left office before even completing her first term, it's just not an attitude that I think is necessarily in the best interest of your constituents, rather what's in your own best interest.[43]
Whitman currently has an energy lobbying group called the Whitman Strategy Group which states itself to be "a governmental relations consulting firm specializing in environmental and energy issues."[44]
In 2011, Whitman named to the Board of Americans Elect.[45]
On May 19, 2012, Whitman was presented with an honorary degree from Washington & Jefferson College.[46]
In February 2013, Whitman publicly supported legal recognition for same-sex marriage in an amicus brief submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court.[47]
