Research Director Eric Lotke discusses the "Investment Deficit" report and the "Real Investment in America" conference.
America is falling apart. Falling apart, and falling behind.
Previous generations of Americans built interstate highways and transcontinental railroads. Now we sit in traffic.
Americans from an earlier era pioneered universal primary education and chartered great universities on public land. They enacted the G.I. bill to give the greatest generation the access to college that helped build our modern middle class. Nowadays American students toil in overcrowded classrooms with leaky roofs, while the cost of college soars out of reach.
America grew up investing in its land and its people. Historically, we directed roughly 8 percent of our gross domestic product to long-range investments, and the investment paid off. Now we are down below 4 percent. Our post World War II infrastructure is starting to decay, and we aren't replacing it. We are lamenting the loss of jobs rather than hiring people to renew and rebuild.
Other countries are racing past. China spends 9 percent of its GDP on infrastructure investment and opens a new subway system every year.
From physical infrastructure like roads and bridges to human capital from kindergarten to college, this report comprehensively examines our investment deficit. It documents yesterday's achievements, today's problems and tomorrow's solutions.
As this report is released, America's economy is in a deep downturn, which is now spreading across the
globe. A major recovery program is essential to lift this economy from what is likely to be the worst
recession since the Great Depression. Direct public investment—in new energy and conservation, in modernizing our infrastructure, in education and training, and research and development—should be the centerpiece of any recovery plan. That is not only necessary to lift the economy in the short run; it is a vital down payment on the sustained public investment that we need to sustain a competitive and decent society in a global
The needs listed in this report provide a guidepost for both recovery and for long-term, sustainable growth.

If you want a graphic illustration of just how serious Chinese merchants and manufacturers are about the cotton business, all you have to do is look at cotton futures trading on the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange.
Daily volume in Zhengzhou cotton futures, which will complete its first year of trading on June 1, is now running about 50,000 contracts. Open interest at the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange has been running between 60,000 and 80,000 contracts per day since last November.
"What's important about these numbers — 70,000 contracts per day open interest — is that the New York Cotton Exchange only reached this level after 120 years of trading and a record U.S. cotton crop," said Ed Jernigan, chairman and CEO of Nashville, Tenn.-based Globecot, Inc. "The Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange did it in less than a year."
Jernigan, who has made numerous trips to the Far East and China on behalf of Globecot in recent years, spoke on the debut of the Zhengzhou Futures Market at the USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum in Arlington, Va.
What's behind the success of China's still-new cotton futures contract? Some critics would say it's because the contract size in China is small.
"That's the reason, they say; they trade so many contracts," said Jernigan. "I say that's not the case at all. The size of the contract doesn't matter — it's what people think of the contract."
There are five reasons the Zhengzhou futures market already rivals trading on the New York Board of Trade, according to Jernigan, who admits he is a frequent critic of the NYBOT's trading rules. (Jernigan has served on the New York Cotton Exchange board.)
One is that the base quality of the contract more closely mirrors the domestic use and production in China, which the Chinese are happy to point out, is typically higher than that in the United States.
"The Chinese did a lot of research on this," he said. "I asked the chairman of the Exchange when we might be able to deliver non-Chinese cotton on the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange. He pointed out that New York had been trading for 100-plus years, and you still can't deliver non-U.S. cotton against its contracts.
"So I think they know their facts and understand what they are doing."
The base quality for the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange contract is the Chinese Type 328 cotton, which Jernigan said is the equivalent of a U.S. middling, 1-3/32-inch grade and staple. Currently, more than 80 percent of the Chinese crop is middling, 1-3/32-inch.
Other quality factors include a micronaire range of 3.5 to 4.9. Chinese traders can also tender a Type 129 cotton, which is a strict middling, 1-1/8-inch, down to a lower quality Type 429 cotton with premiums and discounts.
Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange officials also designed their cotton futures contracts to have "very, high integrity," as far as the quality of the cotton. In contrast to the NYBOT, the contracts make it relatively easy for the buyer to take delivery of the cotton, according to Jernigan.
"If you go back and look at the number of cotton futures contracts that have been introduced outside of New York over the last 25 years, each and every one of them failed, and one of the reasons they failed was the delivery mechanism."
In the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange contracts, China's Fiber Inspection Bureau inspects all cotton before it is placed in a deliverable warehouse, and the Fiber Inspection Bureau classes it again when delivery takes place.
"This has created strong integrity in the quality of the cotton received by the buyer and prevents dumping by the seller," Jernigan notes. "Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange futures trade at a premium to general physical prices for that reason."
All cotton is delivered in 20-ton lots — the contract size is 5 tons or 11,000 pounds or 22.9 480-pound bales. The exchange recognizes 13 approved delivery warehouses in east China.
Jernigan said the third reason for the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange's success is that cash cotton prices have been highly volatile, encouraging merchants and manufacturers to hedge using the exchange's future contracts.
"The first contract traded when the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange began its cotton futures market was the November. China had a shortage of cotton going into the fall months and the spread between November and December futures widened out to more than 2,000 riminbi," he said.
"Since then, prices have become more stable with the March/April 2005 spread trading at a more normal 50 to 100 riminbi under, reflecting the discount for the later month."
Despite the government's tight rein on most aspects of Chinese life, China's physical price movement of cotton occurs in a free market, he said. "Chinese prices have significant volatility, and prices are less influenced by the government than in the United States."
Against that backdrop of strong volatility, the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange has put strong regulatory procedures in place, including those for delivery integrity, position limits, daily price limits and strong margin rules.
"They have very strong position limits, but the position limits do change as they get closer to the delivery months," said Jernigan. "The limits change when they get two months out and they change again at one month out, depending on the stocks levels."
All trading is done by computer, he notes. There are no open-outcry pits at the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange.
The final reason for the early success of the Zhengzhou cotton futures, he said, is the widespread familiarity with futures and their uses on the part of the Chinese cotton community.
Although the New York and Chicago boards of trade pre-date the current futures exchanges in China, futures trading is an Asian invention. The first trading was done with rice in Japan.
The modern era of commodity trading in China began with the first grain wholesale spot market, which opened in October 1990. Chinese merchants began trading aluminum futures in Shenzen in September 1991, and the first futures brokerage firm opened in 1992.
The Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange transferred its grain-selling business to futures in 1993, and the government approved 11 futures contracts for trading on a trial basis in 1994. But government officials began getting cold feet in April 1994 and banned futures trading in steel, sugar and coal. Bans on rice and rapeseed futures followed in September 1994.
In 1998, the 14 futures exchanges in China were consolidated into three — the Shanghai Futures Exchange, the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange and the Dalian Commodity Exchange. All futures trading now occurs on those exchanges.
The Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange began trading wheat, corn, soybeans, green beans and sesame futures in 1993 with green beans being its most active contract until 1999 when wheat took over the top position. In 2003, daily volume in Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange wheat futures reached a record 887,446 contracts.
"The volume in many of the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange grain contracts exceeds that on the Chicago Board of Trade," said Jernigan. "It probably helps that commodity markets have been much more attractive than the domestic equity and bond markets. The latter are in a three-year bear market.
"Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange cotton has to be the most successful new cotton futures contract ever introduced," he said. "It has enjoyed liquidity from opening day, and the daily volume now averages two to three times that of the NYBOT."

"In 3 Minutes You Will Learn Exactly How to Pick Race Winners Like This 37-year Pro!"
The Best Part? You don't need any fancy horse racing system, software, or even betting experience...
All you need is a racing form & my guide!
Introducing the #1 Horse Racing System that will work for you:
Stop chasing every horse racing system out there! You only need one. My horse racing system has been around forever but only a lucky few know about it. Now you can join them!
Dear Horseplayer,
Have you ever heard the saying "you can beat a race but you can't beat the races?" Well, I can tell you it's true. In fact I know it's true because I used to be the jerk that tried to beat the races and played every race on the card and got my brains beat out in the process.
Hi, my name is Mike Lane.
Join me if you have ever...:
- Purchased tip sheet after tip sheet with no success
- Won big on one race, only to give it all back and then some
- Spent hundreds of dollars on horse racing systems; only to go home broke
- Wondered whether you are ever going to make any money on the horses...
Believe me, I know how you feel. In fact, I was once the same.
I'll never forget what it's like to be part of the majority of chumps standing at the rail, tearing up tickets, searching for that one longshot that would get me to almost even. Those are some sad memories.
For me, though, that's all they are -- memories.
You see, it got to a point where I was so sick of being another guy who couldn't beg a winner... So, I spent the next two and a half years researching this subject of handicapping, hitting the forms heavy, and betting the horses with what I learnt. It hurt like the dickens, and the learning curve was steep, but suddenly I went from loser to winner.
A friend of my father (who is now deceased) gave me another horse racing system. This one was different. It was old. It was so old that it didn't even have a title to it. The pages were yellow with age. It was obvious that it had been passed around...a lot.
And after reading it through I found that it was simple. It was easy to understand. It wasn't full of addition and subtraction or division. I didn't have an elaborate system of x's and o's.
What I did have, though, is the formula for picking winners.
I can tell you that this formula is simple once you understand it, but very counter-intuitive and you will never guess it if someone hasn't told it to you.
The formula completely contradicts traditional handicapping advice...
You can disregard the weight the horse is carrying. It doesn't matter which jockey is on the animal or which trainer is training him. The difference between this horse racing system and the hundreds of others out there is that when the few simple rules are followed, you become a winner. It is as simple as that.
As old as this system is...it is still producing winners!
I have actually broken the whole selection process down into a set of rules that, once followed, all but guarantees incredible success betting on the horses.
I won't say that this system will change your entire life. But it will change your horse racing aspect of life. Check out this recent email I received from a satisified customer:
Recent Unsolicited Horse Racing System Testimonials:
Mike, I tried your system out last Friday at six different race tracks. I bet 28 races that fit your system at $2 each for a total investment of $56. My return was just over $75. Not bad for my first day. I guess the winnings of $21 covered my investment of $19 so I'm ahead for the rest of my life! Looking forward to trying it out again my next visit to the track. Thanks David E., NJ
Saw a couple of great odds on both of the OSOP picks so I played them to WP and boxed in the exacta. I was away from my computer at the time the race went off. When I came back to my computer I saw the 3/4 exacta hit! I was thrilled. I've hit exactas before just never even close to that high. I just made 2 weeks salary on 1 race! Needless to say I cashed out a big chunk of it. I just hope the wife doesn't want to shopping to celebrate. Thanks again to the OSOP. I love this system! Jason L., TX
As I write this I just hit a nice 5-1 horse in the 4th race at Charles Town that paid a nice 12.60!...I think that's what makes the races so compelling, that there is so much information to factor yet OSOP works and is so simple! I'm going to put OSOP up against another system I've had laying around for awhile...and will let you know the results! Ed W., Omaha, NE
Today--I down loaded your OLDEST SYSTEM and tried it on a few races. Guss what! It works. They didn't pay big but I'll take it. I cn't beleave its so simple. TKS TKS Well worth the cost. Harry G., USA
coming to your system.....what can I say...I have been testing ever since I bought your book and believe me I am able to spot long shots exactly the way you have claimed...I just cant believe it...to give the range of odds, it varies anywhere between 2 to 1 to 20 to 1!....just yesterday I spotted one which won at 5 to 1....its very good odds...other day, I backed one at 9 to 1....accuracy is currently hovering around 60% but at these odds, I am sure one can stay in profit (based on probability theory)...well, I consider myself to be very lucky to stumble upon your website & your system...I want to thank you profusely for what you have shared...also, one of the book that you have sent (Winners) is amazing... this book motivates even a dead to get up and do what they like in life...amazing book... thanks for that...

i've always loved and respected what christopher bailey has been able to accomplish at the house of burberry. its not easy to carry over a hundred and fifty years of tradition on a thirty seven year old shoulder. especially when the task he faced was not only to modernize the house's trademark accessories out of the duty free shop territory, but to also broaden the house's profile that would also include high-end ready to wear.
brilliantly he started off using the iconic visual trademarks of the house such as its infamous plaid and the classic trench coat as the starting point in his quest to reincarnate the brand into a commercial powerhouse. one that would seduce new consumers but at the same time not alienate the robust history of the brand. he managed to accomplish that by giving all of his collection a quintessentially english identity. whether it referenced ideas as diverse as london new wave, post war british "making do" approach to dressing, punk, the bloomsbury group, princess margaret, the swinging sixties, military touches that are perennially ubiquitous at the house, or the english countryside, bailey has managed to subvert and celebrate the essence of the house at the same time. and the thread he used to tie it all up was a sense of romance. a very english sense romance.
it is a romance that could be as joyful and almost comedic as the tension between elizabeth bennet and mr. darcy one season, and the next be as heart wrenching as the love affair between jane eyre and edward fairfax rochester. followed next season with a feeling like a nostalgic memory of youth in dickensinian proportions. or it could be something as pure as the soulfulness found in melancholy. despite such emotional overtones, bailey never once abandons the intellectualism that gives his collections a rhyme and a reason. he manages to have sense of rationality to balance the poignancy of the story he is trying to narrate through his clothes.
the romantic sensation the clothes inherently exudes are heightened even more by the show's soundtrack. for spring/summer 2009 which was inspired by english gardens and a continuing theme from his menswear show that referenced the sombre landscapes depicted by artist derek jarman, bailey opened the show to ambrose slade's "if this world were mine". a song about longing for love that cemented the mood of melancholic sensuality he was aiming for.
despite such heavy feelings brought about by some of his presentations, what bailey is trying to achieve is to provoke something out of the audience, and hopefully and eventually to the consumers. to instigate a connection between garment and its potential owner. clothes might just be things that we put on for a reason as basic as modesty or as complex as trying to find a mate. but the clothes we end up developing a close affinity for are the ones that has lived with us. the clothes that has gone through many of our experiences. from burgeoning romances to heartbreaks, or the first designer piece we saved six paycheques for, there are always clothes we would never throw away because its become part of what we use to identify who we are.
that is probably the reason why bailey's clothes always looks worn in. finished to look like something that has been lived in. but done in luxurious finishings and fabrics with the highest level of craftsmanship to ensure that although it was made to give the impression of being old, is made to last for a long time. coats were given the ombre effect at the edges giving it that appearance of being caught in the rain. shirts, trousers, and jackets wrinkled to give it some life. and coats made out of washed python skin with distressed floral applique that never screams the opulence of its fabrication, but makes a quiet statement with its almost humbling charm to be inconspicuous despite its expensive price tag.
the romance and the job might not last, and our youth is definitely not forever, but at least we know a burberry trench will always protect us from the rain. and just like our favorite pair of jeans, it only gets better with age. regardless of how ripped up it is. just like us i reckon.
p.s. yes i am extremely aware that this post is hella cheese. but i don't care.

Wabash Survives with Three-Point Win at Franklinby Brent Harris • December 29, 2010 Share:
Wabash squandered a 17-point first half lead, but held on Wednesday night to improve to 12-0 with a 77-74 win at Franklin College Wednesday. Derek Bailey's two free throws with 11 seconds left in the game and a steal by Brian Shelbourne on the final play of the game secured the road win.
The Little Giants won the game in front of what had to be one of the biggest Wabash road crowds in recent years. See a photo album from Wednesday's game here. Joe Konz is a copy desk chief at the Indianapolis Star and photography buff. Check out his more than 200 photos from the game here.
The Little Giants, ranked eighth in the nation in the latest D3hoops.com poll, exploded offensively to open the game. Wes Smith scored 14 of the first 18 points for Wabash, boosting the Little Giants to an early lead. Ben Burkett scored two of his 12 points with 8:27 left in the opening period to give Wabash a 30-13 lead.
Wabash came into the game as the fifth-best team in the nation defending the three-point shot, but Franklin used the long-range jumper to work its way back into the contest. Three treys by the Grizzlies helped trim the lead to three points. Franklin watched a desperation three rim out just ahead of the first half buzzer, giving Wabash a 38-35 lead.
The Grizzlies eventually took a 45-43 lead early in the second period on a three-pointer by Gunner Erwin. Wabash responded with treys from Aaron Zinnerman and AJ Sutherlin to eventually take a one-point lead midway through the period. Bailey Howard kept the Grizzlies close by scoring 10 of his team-high 22 points in the second half.
A putback basket by Erwin pushed Franklin ahead 61-60. The Little Giants responded with a seven-point run fueled by two Smith layups. The Grizzlies rallied to draw to with one-point with 1:32 left in the contest on another trey by Erwin, who finished with 17 points.
Both teams failed to score on the next possessions before Bailey (right) was fouled with 11 seconds remaining in the contest. The junior, who gave Wabash a two-point victory at Kenyon earlier in the season with a last-second three-pointer, calmly drained two free throws for a three-point Little Giant lead.
The Grizzlies tried to set up the final game-tying shot, but Shelbourne double-teamed junior center Will Conoley and took the basketball away with one second left to play.
Smith finished with 23 points to lead Wabash in scoring. Sutherlin added 16 points, his highest scoring total since transferring to Wabash. Zinnerman added 10 points. Smith also grabbed five rebounds to pace the Little Giants.
The Grizzlies shot 7-of-9 from three-point range, a marked improvement from their 2-for-10 effort in an earlier 96-55 loss to Wabash. The Little Giants shot 28-of-54 from the field for the contest for 51.9 percent, while Franklin (4-7) connected on 26-of-54 attempts (48.1 percent).
Wabash returns to the North Coast Athletic Conference portion of its schedule next week with two key home games. The Little Giants will play Denison University on Wednesday night at Chadwick Court, then will take on the number-one ranked, undefeated College of Wooster Fighting Scots in a 2 p.m. contest on Saturday.

While "Nuestra Vida, Nuestra Voz" primarily focuses on reproductive health and justice issues, it's important to occasionally highlight other issues that impacts the Latin@ community as a whole. Latinos encounter many stereotypes and different forms of discrimination. Even though language is the principle connection, there has to be a recognition of the diverse cultures, ethnicities and vocabulary that exists among Latin@s.
Case in point, there is a new series of Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light ads being advertised in the New York City subway system that completely butchers the Spanish language (see pictures below):
These ads are written in Spanish slang for the most part. However, Spanish slang is something that is not universal among Spanish speakers. Spanish slang pertaining to one country usually does not properly translate or is not used in another. Also, many slang terms can have double meanings, where in one country it can be a non-offensive term, but in another it is.
This ad campaign also brings up a valid question: is this the way Anheuser-Busch perceives Latin@s to generally speak? There are not similar English-language ads written in slang. So, why did Anheuser-Busch decide to go forward with these ads that, not only has poor usage of the Spanish language, but unfortunately also conveys several stereotypes and generalizations, such as the "arroz con pollo," the "salsa," and the "mata e (de) mango"? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Long Run in Acadia National Park
Plan was to run the Eagle Lake loop (six miles). I really like this loop because it's scenic and challenging, so didn't mind doing it three times. Plus, it'd make it convenient for Kate and I to check up on each other since we were running different paces and distances (she had ten on tap for today and did great).
Going clockwise, the loop is pretty easy for about the first three miles. The hills are pretty slight and gradual. Then, the carriage trail begins to distance itself from the lake and climbs a really long and steep hill. It's a total buttkicker.
Did the loop clockwise twice and for the last one I did it counter-clockwise just to mix it up a little. Afterwards, went up the trail for a little over a mile and then back to round the mileage up to twenty.
Definitely was far from firing on all cylinders today. In fact, after the first two miles I had wondered if I would do the whole run. Just wasn't feeling it. Fortunately, when I hit that big hill after mile three I began to start to feel better and enjoyed the climb. However, never really felt okay until mile eight. Pretty long time to warm-up, but was just thankful that I did eventually come around somewhat.
Ran 20.0 miles @ 8:27/mile pace.
Carriage trails.
Very hilly.
Upper 60s, overcast.
Saucony Kinvara, shorts, singlet (shed singlet after first loop).

Nice! The Eagle Lake loop is definitely a good one! Jealous you guys were up there- hope it waw fun!
- Love2Run said...
That's a long time to get warmed up but you stuck with it! I love parks and trails for running.
- RICK'S RUNNING said...
i also did a long trail run on saturday 3 hours, it took me an hour to get going, after that a felt much better.
I blame my early sluggishness on a mega progession run on Wednesday.
Maybe you were still stiff from your 10 x 800m session ?
- Luc said...
That's one thing I never got to do in Maine. Run @ Acadia. Gread job on the 8 mile warm up too. :)

Acadia National Park is a runner's paradise. Aside from the carriage roads like around Eagle Lake there are hiking trails and 2 half marathons and a marathon in the area. Check out our blog for running ideas in Acadia. http://acadiaonmymind.com/2014/10/running-dream-around-acadia-national-park/

Letter defending Zimmerman overlooks facts
Your "from our readers" disappointed duo from Mt. Airy rendered unusual expertise on Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law. However, their article is incorrect regarding 210 lb. George Zimmerman being held down by a significantly larger Mr. Martin. I am dismayed by this false statement. Teenager Trayvon Martin was much smaller and lighter than George Zimmerman. Check the facts.
The fight they had that night was the result of armed Mr. Zimmerman's unauthorized stalking and confronting of unarmed Mr. Martin who was walking home from an errand to a store.
Sure, Mr. Zimmerman got roughed up, but no pictures or descriptions were shown at the trial to show how badly Mr. Martin was beaten up before he was killed by Mr. Zimmerman, not wounded.
Who was on top, and who yelled, should have been irrelevant. Did the local police assist Mr. Zimmerman by not charging him? The Mt. Airy duo forgot to mention these facts also.
Recently, Juror B29 has publicly stated that George Zimmerman "got away with murder." She and two other jurors were talked out of their early "Guilty" votes. The judge's 16-page "Instructions to the Jurors" was confusing to some of the jurors resulting in differences of opinions. The prosecutor's closing arguments did not help. These "instructions" should be carefully examined to determine if any bias was written therein – grounds for a retrial.
I believe the prosecution's strategy was faulty from the beginning. I doubt they would do any better in a retrial.

Local missed the mark on Zimmerman
I wish to express my thanks to David W. Banov and Sharon M. Reiss for their July 25 letter to the Local regarding the Zimmerman trial. The writers did an excellent job of summarizing the true facts of the case – facts suppressed or distorted by the mainstream media. It was inexcusable of President Obama to attempt to influence the jury by remarks he may have made. And further, it is a violation of the deepest and most cherished legal principles, that this Administration continues to persecute a man found innocent by the terms of our justice system.
The Local's statement that "yes, racism was at work" was a slander against the justice system and the jurors who decided the case. But unfortunately, the Local's little piece of pandering has proved to be ironic: By playing the white liberal guilt trip against the black racism card, it has helped to fan the flames of race war. This is careless and irresponsible journalism in the extreme. The Local has no business attempting to comment on national events if this is the best it can do.
Caryl Johnston
Everyone's a racist?
We need to have a national conversation on why racists are outraged at the acquittal of an innocent person.

Incarcerated Women
Patricia O'Brien
This article summarizes the incidence of women in the United States who have been sentenced to prison as a consequence of a felony conviction for violation of state or federal laws. It also describes their characteristics and co-occurring health conditions; issues that contribute to women's experiences after release from prison, including those that lead to success and failure during re-entry; and gendered practices and policies that provide alternatives to incarceration.
Social Justice
Janet L. Finn and Maxine Jacobson
This entry examines the concept of social justice and its significance as a core value of social work. Diverse conceptualizations of social justice and their historical and philosophical underpinnings are examined. The influence of John Rawls' perspectives on social justice is addressed as are alternative conceptualizations, such as the capabilities perspective. The roots of social justice are traced through social work history, from the Settlement House Movement to the Rank and Film Movement, Civil Rights Movement, and contemporary struggles in the context of globalization. Challenges for social justice-oriented practice in the 21st century are address. The discussion concludes with concrete example of ways in which social workers are translating principles of social justice into concrete practices.

Spooky! Katie Holmes Looks Exactly Like Jackie O. In Her Iconic Pink Suit and Pillbox Hat
On the set of her new miniseries about The Kennedys, Mrs. Tom Cruise is dressed the same way the First Lady was on that fateful day in November 1963.
Katie Holmes channels her inner Jackie Kennedy right down to her quilted Chanel bag in a shot taken today on the Toronto set of the History Channel's miniseries, The Kennedys. Judging by the pink suit she is wearing in the pic, she and Greg Kinnear — who plays President Kennedy — were shooting the couple's arrival in Dallas on November 22, 1963, the day the President was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald.
Earlier this week, Katie shot the president's funeral scenes and was seen hugging the toddler who plays young John Jr. Despite the somber subject matter, Katie says she has had fun playing the iconic first lady — mainly because of the clothes she's gotten to wear. "I feel so lucky," Katie says. "We have these wonderful seamstresses who are creating beautiful dresses that are obviously replicas of real things she wore."
The eight-hour miniseries will air on the History Channel next year, and also stars Barry Pepper as Robert F. Kennedy and Tom Wilkinson as Joseph Kennedy Sr.

OAKLAND — To think, the legendary performance by Warriors point guard Stephen Curry on Sunday almost didn't happen.
Before Curry went off for 22 points in the third quarter — powering the run that turned a close game into a 115-101 Warriors win over the Denver Nuggets in Game 4 of their playoff series — coach Mark Jackson considered shutting him down for the game. Still bothered by his sprained left ankle, Curry wasn't looking too good early on.
"It was almost like a boxer who knew he was on the ropes," Jackson said. "I guess he realized and sensed it. He captured the moment. He embraced the moment. … It was almost like he had been waiting for this his entire career, and he wasn't going to allow his body to tell him it was too hurt to match the moment. It was an incredible, incredible performance by him."
With a shooting display befitting a video game, Curry led the Warriors on a 25-10 run to close the third quarter and turn a close game into a spectacle. He scored 19 points in the final 4:22, knocking down seven straight shots.
Curry finished with 31 points and seven assists. His memorable display gave command of the series to the Warriors, who are now a win away from upsetting the No. 3 seed and advancing to the second round to take on No. 2 San Antonio.
"I was just able to get good looks," Curry said. "I felt a little warmer, body-wise, in the third quarter and was able to get a rhythm."
Curry, who sprained his ankle in Game 2 and was still feeling the effects in Game 3, was much slower and more passive than normal on Sunday. He confirmed he had a painkilling injection before the game but it wasn't working in the first half.
Fortunately for Golden State, center Andrew Bogut had it going early. His inside presence set the tone in the first quarter. After taking eight total shots in Games 2 and 3, Bogut took six shots in the first quarter Sunday.
With Denver trapping the guards, Bogut was the outlet at the free throw line area. It led to two dunks, including his revenge against JaVale McGee, who made a YouTube-worthy dunk over Bogut in Game 1.
Curry, trapped on the right, found Bogut in the middle. Spotting McGee waiting at the rim, Bogut charged in and threw it down with one hand over McGee, sending Oracle into a frenzy.
"I'm sure when he went up to dunk on McGee," Jackson said, "he remembered when McGee dunked on him."
Bogut and forward Carl Landry combined for 24 points on 10-of-18 shooting in the first half. Their inside presence did more than give Golden State much-needed offense while Curry struggled, sending the Warriors into the locker room up 56-44.
It forced the Nuggets to focus on protecting the paint. It also prompted them to stop trapping.
"When we (trapped) the ball, they got the ball to Bogut and he made good decisions," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "When we didn't, (Jarrett) Jack and Curry had a lot of good control."
With the Warriors' lead cut from 15 points early in the third quarter to four, and facing one-on-one defense, Curry got aggressive. First it was Nuggets forward Corey Brewer defending him. Curry twice came off screens and knocked down a 3-pointers, the first at the 6:22 mark, then the other at 4:22 to put Golden State up 74-65. Then Denver put Andre Miller on Curry. That made things worse.
Curry got into the lane for a finger roll, then at the 2:59 mark pulled up for an 18-footer in transition over Miller.
About a minute later, he was officially hot, drilling a 3-pointer from Antioch to give the Warriors an 82-71 advantage.
The next time down, after a stop, he bounced in a runner for a three-point play. He followed that by stripping Denver guard Ty Lawson on the defensive end and starting the fast break.
Curry was losing control of his dribble and had two Nuggets on him. So he stopped on a dime and pulled up from 27 feet. Splash. For good measure, after finding himself inexplicably wide open, he drilled another 3-pointer from the left corner in front of the Nuggets bench.
"I know this one thing, and I know this for sure," Jack said, "when they start having these best-point-guards-in-the-NBA conversations, I don't know who has to get out of the conversation for him to get in, but he's definitely kicked the door down."

cigar and cigarette
cigar and cigarette, tubular rolls of tobacco designed for smoking. Cigars consist of filler leaves held together by binder leaves and covered with a wrapper leaf, which is rolled spirally around the binder. Cigarettes consist of finely shredded tobacco enclosed in a paper wrapper, and they often have a filter tip at the end. They are usually shorter and narrower than cigars. In pre-Columbian times, indigenous peoples of the West Indies and of parts of Central and South America smoked tobacco and other plant products in a similar form. Spanish travelers to the Americas introduced the cigar to Spain by the late 1500s, whence it spread to other European countries. Most cigars have been made by machine since about 1902; cigarettes, since the last quarter of the 19th cent. The cigarette industry increased phenomenally in the 20th cent., especially after World War I. The composition of cigarettes in the United States has changed. Imported Turkish tobacco was favored at one time, but American tobacco is more popular today.
Tobacco smoke contains nicotine, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ammonia, aldehydes, and a number of organic tar compounds. The use of filter-tipped cigarettes increased in the United States after medical reports in the early 1950s suggested a link between lung cancer and cigarette smoking. In 1964, Luther Terry, the U.S. surgeon general, issued a report that condemned cigarettes as causing cancer and several respiratory diseases. During the 1980s, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop reiterated and underscored these admonitions. Such efforts resulted in antismoking campaigns, a ban on television advertising, and warning labels on packages. As a countermeasure, the tobacco industry increased their advertising budgets 400% between 1967 and 1984. Tobacco production in the United States increased steadily until 1981, after which the industry began a downward turn. The consumption of cigarettes reached its peak between 1974 and 1977.
Recognizing that the smoking of tobacco is addictive, pharmaceutical companies have developed chewing gum and transdermal skin patches that introduce nicotine into the body while the person tries to "kick the habit" and refrain from smoking. Scientific studies suggest that smoking can cause complications in pregnancy, and that "passive smoking," the inhalation of smoke from others' cigars or cigarettes, has effects similar to smoking. Vigorous antismoking campaigning has been accompanied by a number of successful efforts to ban smoking in public places. More than two thirds of the U.S. states now have laws prohibiting smoking in some public places.
Cigarette manufacturers in the United States were faced with serious legal and financial threats in the mid- and late 1990s as a result of health-related lawsuits brought by U.S. states and by individuals, and also were confronted with further attempts at government regulation. Disputes with the states were settled in 1998 when the industry agreed to pay 46 states $206 billion over 25 years (four states had earlier been paid a total of $40 billion to resolve their separate lawsuits), but individuals continued to seek damages for illnesses that they maintained were caused by smoking cigarettes. The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which an international treaty that came into affect in 2005, seeks to reduce the number of tobacco-related illnesses and deaths by such measures as banning tobacco product advertising and putting warning labels on tobacco packaging. In 2009 the U.S. Congress passed legislation that allows the Food and Drug Administration to regulate cigarettes and other forms of tobacco; the law also imposed additional restrictions on the marketing of tobacco products.
See G. Doron, The Smoking Paradox: Public Regulation in the Cigarette Industry (1979, repr. 1984); R. Kluger, Ashes to Ashes (1996); R. Parker-Pope, Cigarettes: Anatomy of an Industry from Seed to Smoke (2001); A. M. Brandt, The Cigarette Century (2007).

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's prime minister on Tuesday rejected international criticism of plans to build thousands more Jewish homes in east Jerusalem, insisting that construction will move forward.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued the tough response as European diplomats were discussing plans to condemn Israel in the U.N. Security Council. A U.N. resolution would be the latest in a wave of angry international reactions to Israeli plans to build in areas the Palestinians claim for a future state.
"Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the state of Israel, and we will continue to build there," Netanyahu said during a visit to the northern Israeli city of Acre. He said Israelis overwhelmingly believed in "united Jerusalem," referring to Jewish west Jerusalem and east Jerusalem, the section of the city captured from Jordan and annexed by Israel but claimed by the Palestinians.
A poll by the Dahaf agency and published Tuesday in the Haaretz daily said that 67 percent of center-left voters do not favor dividing Jerusalem — meaning handing over east Jerusalem to the Palestinians. Center-left describes about half of the Israeli public, who otherwise would support handing over most of the West Bank for a Palestinian state. Much of the other half opposes giving up territory at all. Dahaf did not provide details of polling methods or a margin of error.
Interior Ministry spokeswoman Efrat Orbach said a Jerusalem planning committee rejected proposals for additional Jewish houses to be built in east Jerusalem neighborhoods while approving 700 homes for Arab residents in that part of the city in a meeting late Tuesday.
The fate of the eastern sector of Jerusalem, with its holy sites sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims, is an emotional issue and lies at the heart of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Jerusalem's Old City is home to one of the world's most sensitive religious places, holy to both Jews and Muslims.
About 250,000 Palestinians and 200,000 Jews live in east Jerusalem.
Netanyahu announced plans to build thousands of homes in east Jerusalem's Ramat Shlomo section and the West Bank in response to last month's decision by the United Nations to upgrade the Palestinians' status, endorsing an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, territories Israel captured in the 1967 war. Israel accused the Palestinians of trying to bypass negotiations.
Germany and three other European members of the U.N. Security Council prepared a statement condemning Israel's latest settlement plans in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, a European diplomatic official said Tuesday.
The so-called E4 grouping — Britain, France, Germany and Portugal — is concerned that such settlements could threaten the possible two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians, the official said. Details of the European statement are being finalized in New York, the diplomat said on condition of anonymity because the work was not yet completed.

One charity quilt ready to go!!
And it is 100% scraps.
Isn't it a fun one?
I quilted long lines...
no marking....
red thread....
very ORGANIC.
I like that word.
As I quilted
I tried to make
Confident lines,
since I knew they wouldn't be straight.
you're going to quilt lines that are NOT perfectly straight....
then, I think....they'd better be .....
CONFIDENT lines.
I had a few hiccups.
In other words, They're not all
Some of the lines do not f-l-o-w.
You know what I mean, right?
Well, I'll practice some more and
maybe I'll improve in my
organic quilting abilities.
Scrappy Binding.
Scrappy back.
What a happy little quilt!!!

The IE Temptation: Phasing Out Internet Explorer 6 Support
By Chris Cardinal on July 10th, 2008
Internet Explorer 7 represented a step forward for "mainstream" browsing. Microsoft worked to fix a lot of the epic fails in CSS implementation that IE 6 had brought upon itself and those around it. There are a few departures from the standards and further from how Firefox handles things, but they're farther and fewer in between and don't impact us *too* much on a day-to-day.
Still, instead of developing for Firefox and Internet Explorer, we're developing for FF, IE6 *and* IE7. Cheers. Add to the fact that IE6 has some serious flaws including its lack of transparent PNG support without getting all hacky, different JavaScript implementations and limitations on what you can do with AJAX calls, et cetera, and it becomes a significant burden to develop for. It doesn't help that you can only have one version of IE installed on a Windows-machine, or the other, without, again, getting terribly hacky. Just watch your workflow take a hit there.

Hi Bill,
I know you didn't mean anything to be sinister because you're not like that.
I liked your story about the snow storms paralyzing certain places. That's one thing that really amazes me here because we have awesome snow removal services, we can recieve more than 2 feet of snow one day and the next day the roads are perfectly clear.
Gotta run. Have a great day! :-)
Didn't mean anything more sinister than that you and DP had both mentioned having batches of snow, and if I remember correctly, temperatures in the -5В°C range. Siberia was talking about -50В°C Therefore both you and DP had it better.
England has been "paralyzed" by snow. An Englishman sent me pictures of this "terrible" snowfall, and in the US, at least, it wouldn't have stopped a football game, let alone snarled traffic. He says they aren't used to it, and if that's what they call a severe storm, they haven't been in the proper climate places.
When I was stationed in Naples, it snowed there once and caused a catatrophe, because Italians that far south almost never see it. My ship donated blankets to the civil relief efort.
When I was stationed in Hawaii, it got really funny. I did volunteer work at the Armed Services YMCA, and the lady in charge of the desk asked me what I'd like for Christmas. I told her, "Don't take it personally, but three feet of snow right where you stand".
I hadn't lived in California yet at that time, and I was kidding a Californian, telling him that people in southern California didn't know about it, either. He said, "I do, too, know what snow is. We can see it on the mountains".
Snow, like most other things, is only good in moderation.
I do too xNELLIEx but we got enough last week.
I'm glad to hear that you just got a dusting.
A fire inside and fresh snow outside, is awesome, isn't it?
I <3 NY and the smell of wood smoke.....
The storm that I was talking about, missed DP and I.
As for xNELLIEx, "she" may be getting burried, right now.
I hope that's not the case though because I think you should both be burried, together! ;-p
NOTICE the WINK!
That means that I am JOKING!
Hey, Bill,
I can't and never will speak for DP because she lives in Canada and I live in The US but I know how good I have it here even though my property taxes and school taxes are on the rise.
IF our one eyed idiot of a Governor has his way, we'll be taxed for drinking NON diet soda too! I'm NOT fat so why should I pay more for a "Classic Coke"?
I love how SNA (Saturday Night Live) portrays him though.
I don't have any children either but I am more than willing to pay for "our future".
As for cold nipples.....I love them, cold water is another thing though because as I'm sure you know....that causes shrinkage.
Okay, my rant is over.
Sorry that you and xNELLIEx didn't work out.
Perhaps you should both join the gym.
Let me make myself clear. I came on this forum to play games. If you can't take the heat, get out of the fire.
Anyway, I haven't really jabbed you hard slammed you, I just poked you a friendly, flirtacious little poke. Stop being such an old maid! Sheesh........
Are you sure you were a sailor for 10 years? I thought sailors are a tough and resilient chaps. You are SUCH a whiner! Any little poke makes you run to your mother and complain!
OK, let me ask you a serious question. Tom Daschle withdrew his nomination because he owes $150,000 back taxes. Tim Geithner got confirmed as IRS boss after paying his back taxes just before he got nominated. What chance is there that Tim Geithner, the tax fraud, will force Tom Daschle, the other tax fraud, to pay his back taxes? Would one tax fraud be sympathetic and forgiving to another tax fraud?
In future I am using the Geithner defense if I ever get audited by the IRS - Ooooops, I screwed up, it was an honest mistake!

As Fred Barnes writes, "the lefties and the media. . .are in a dither now that Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald has cleared [Karl] Rove of any criminal wrongdoing in the overblown leak case involving CIA functionary Valerie Plame." The Washington Post, for one, isn't taking the news lying down. Rather, as if on cue, Jim VandeHei and Dan Balz turn to the fall elections as a vehicle for Rove's long-deferred commuppance. Citing a senior strategist for the campaigns of Al Gore and John Kerry, the two Post men claim that Rove's "reputation as architect of victory at stake."
But even if the fall election doesn't go well for Republicans, Rove's record will be 3-1. While his undeserved reputation as the bogeyman will suffer (or would if his critics were rational), his well-earned reputation as a top-notch strategist is secure.
VandeHei and Balz further manifest their "dither" by sniping at Rove's role in the second term of the administration. They note that Bush "endured his worst stretch of his preidency when Rove's powers inside the White House were at their peak." And they suggest that Rove deserves considerable blame because of his role in attempting to introduce personal savings accounts into the Social Security program.
However, VandeHei and Balz present no evidence that social security — as opposed to the war in Iraq and Hurricane Katrina — has anything to do with Bush's low popularity. The facts on social security reform are straightfoward — Bush promised to push for personal savings accounts, Bush pushed for personal savings accounts, the voters weren't sufficiently behind personal savings accounts. I don't see how this honorable scenario casts Karl Rove in a bad light. If this administration leaves any legacy with respect to social security, I suspect that legacy will be that it touched the third rail of American politics without getting burned, thus paving the way for future serious discussion.
Lindsey Graham also provides fodder for VandeHei and Balz. Comfortable as usual with Washington's conventional liberal thinking, Graham opines that Rove is "our go-to guy on politicking" but that he's been "a mixed bag" when it comes to governing. Graham also believes that Rove will be hampered as a political strategist until the public believes that Republicans can govern effectively.
Does Graham believe that the Republicans are governing effectively? If not, he should explain why. Is the economy doing badly? Are we losing the war on terror? In addition, Graham should state which policies he would like the administration to abandon (other than aggressively interrogating terrorists) and which ones he would like it to adopt.

Elisa Benson knows all about the difficulties of dressing a large chest. "When you're this side of a D-cup, it can be a challenge to find clothes that fit your chest without putting it on display more than it already is," says Elisa, Cosmopolitan.com's senior community manager. "I particularly struggle with finding outfits that feel professional because staple items like button-downs and blazers are usually made for, well, mannequins with small busts."
She even authored a whole post on this site about how she can't find blazers, cross-body bags, bathing suits, bras — basically, most clothing — that suit her frame without extreme difficulty. Here, the style team at Cosmopolitan.com proves everything she thought about dressing her larger-than-average chest is, well, wrong. Here are eight common myths about dressing large busts ... busted.
1. The rule: Chose shift dresses over fitted ones, which can make you look top-heavy.
The reality: Dresses with A-line or fit-and-flare skirts, like the one Elisa wears below, balance out a larger chest. Look for dresses in sturdy fabrics that are fitted through the chest. Stretchy fabrics are especially flattering because they fit a greater range of body shapes.Dress, REBECCA TAYLOR AT BLOOMINGDALE'S, $450; Black Sandal Heels, CLUB MONACO, $269; Gold Watch, MICHAEL KORS, $250
Elisa says: "I felt really great in this dress — sophisticated, but also hot! The problem I usually have with dresses is that the chest area isn't roomy enough, so every dress becomes a baby-doll dress, and the seam that's supposed to hit at the waist instead sits right under your boobs. Side note: These heels are everything!"
2. The rule: Dresses are a better option than separates.
The reality: Sometimes, having a larger chest means you are different sizes on top and bottom, which can make finding dresses that fit especially difficult. Instead, create the illusion of a dress with separates by matching solid-color tops and bottoms.
Black V Neck, THREE DOT AT BLOOMINGDALE'S, $46; Black Leather Skirt, CLUB MONACO, $150; Black and Gold Bag, GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI, $1,495; Black Bow Heels, SHOE CULT BY NASTY GAL, $78
In Elisa's own words: "Fitted dresses can skew 'Vegas bachelorette party' very fast when you have a big bust. I thought a monochromatic look would be boring, but I ended up loving how the leather skirt and the cool sparkly bag stand out without looking like I'm trying too hard."
3. The rule: Motorcycle jackets just aren't going to work for you.
The reality: Motorcycle jackets are great for larger chests, especially when it comes to suiting.The overlapping fabric on the front of the jacket means it actually lies over your chest when worn open instead of just falling to either side, making you (and your chest) appear smaller. And don't worry too much about whether you can actually zip the jacket up — to do that you would probably need to size up and then the jacket wouldn't fit your back, shoulders, and arms as nicely, and it wouldn't look as nice when you did wear it open, which is how you will wear it 99 percent of the time anyway. Also, the cropped length of most moto jackets helps make your top half look smaller and more proportional, especially when you're petite like Elisa, who is 5'4" out of her heels.
Striped Skirt, CLUB MONACO, $140; Striped Moto Jacket,CLUB MONACO, $239, Black T-Shirt, BABATON AT ARITZIA, $40; Black Booties, POUR LA VICTOIRE; Black Cross-body Bag, POUR LA VICTOIRE, $195; Sunglasses, FOREVER 21
In Elisa's own words: "Big boobs make most 'professional' clothing look like a disaster — I've literally had a button-down shirt pop in the middle of a meeting, and blazers splay open over your boobs and make you look like a sloppy overweight beast. So pretty much the only thing I wear to work is boring shift dresses. But this outfit is a miracle! Charles promised me that a jacket could work in a structured, heavy fabric that would maintain its shape without my boobs getting in the way. I'd never really tried a suit set before, but the look is professional, so you don't even miss the boring button-down."
4. The rule: You can't wear boxy tops OR horizontal stripes, much less both at once.
The reality: Find a top that is just boxy enough that it hangs straight down from your chest without billowing out. A slight crop will also help keep your whole look more in proportion and prevent your untucked top from looking like a tent.
Navy and White Striped Top, BCBGMAXAZRIA, $158; Green Skirt, WILFRED AT ARITZIA, $110; Black Sandal Heels, CLUB MONACO, $269; Crocodile Chain Bag, ZARA, $179; Tortoise Sunglasses, BURBERRY, $230; Gold Watch, MICHAEL KORS, $250
In Elisa's own words: "Pretty much every fashion magazine in existence will tell curvy girls to avoid horizontal stripes — this just proves that most fashion advice is B.S. With this cool slouchy skirt, I actually think this look is effortlessly cool and boob-friendly."
5. The rule: Avoid boyfriend jeans, which add volume and make you look bigger.
The reality: Looser jeans balance out a larger chest. You might not think that boyfriend jeans would be flattering, but that loose, slightly baggy silhouette is. Wear them low on your hips and front-tuck a slouchy T-shirt in a thick, substantial fabric like a densely woven cotton or terry cloth, which will drape over your chest nicely without being too clingy.
Gray Sweatshirt Top, SPLENDID AT BLOOMINGDALE'S, $98; Distressed Boyfriend Jeans, D-ID JEANS AT BLOOMINGDALE'S, $178; Strappy Sandal Heels, STUART WEITZMAN, $385; White Crossbody Bag, BCBGMAXAZRIA; $298; Gold Watch, MICHAEL KORS, $250
In Elisa's own words: "I love sweatshirt tops because there aren't any fit issues, but I would have tried to pair this with skinny jeans in an effort to look slimmer. Turns out that distressed boyfriend jeans have a slouchy-all-over look that's much cooler, and with heels and a monochromatic color palette, it's still flattering."
6. The rule: Blazers will gape open awkwardly in the front or lie awkwardly against your body.
The reality: While lapels on blazers and vests often don't lie properly when you have a larger chest, lapel-free styles do. They won't gape awkwardly and tend to be more closed across the chest. Again, don't worry about buttoning up. When you have a larger chest, front closures in general are not your friends, but that's fine! You'll look more stylish with it open anyway and still completely work-appropriate.
White Bandage Skirt, BCBGMAXAZRIA, $138; White Top, CLUB MONACO, $130; White Vest, CLUB MONACO, $198; Silver Bangle, REBECCA MINKOFF, $78; Silver Ring, REBECCA MINKOFF, $48; Studded Heels, REBECCA MINKOFF, $218; Black Crossbody Bag, POUR LA VICTOIRE, $195
In Elisa's own words: "I die for this vest! The back of it is sheer chiffon, so it felt like it glided over my body without adding extra bulk — the key to layering if you're busty."
7. The rule: Slouchy crew neck T-shirts will always look too sexy.
The reality: Try wearing one with a short skirt in a lighter color and high heels to help draw attention to your legs, instead of your chest. And avoid that whole "tent" thing that can happen with longer tops by loosely tucking the front of your shirt into your skirt.
Guns N' Roses T-Shirt, WILFRED FREE AT ARITZIA $50; Skirt, WILFRED FREE AT ARITIZIA, $50; Pumps, SCHUTZ, $200; Bag, POUR LA VICTOIRE, $195; Tortoise Sunglasses, BURBERRY, $230
In Elisa's own words: "Anyone with big boobs knows that T-shirts are hard — the slightest V-neck can give you cleavage overload, and anything baggy looks like you're wearing a tent. Charles told me that the solution is all about what you pair it with — a loose, crew-neck T-shirt still looks cool as hell when it's tucked into a teeny, tiny skirt. Not going to lie, I felt like a man killer in this outfit."
8. The rule: Jumpsuits are never going to fit properly and will make you look top-heavy.
The reality: Rompers (and jumpsuits) are one of the most flattering and easy-to-wear silhouettes for women with large chests — they are a little blousy on top without looking sloppy, and the slight looseness on the bottom is great for balancing out the larger top. Color-blocking on top with a cropped jacket in a contrasting color, worn open, also helps make a larger chest appear smaller, the same way dark panels on the sides of a dress can make your waist appear narrower.
Gray Romper, WILFRED FREE AT ARITZIA, $65; Green Jacket, WILFRED FREE AT ARITZIA, $99; Black Sandal Heels, CLUB MONACO, $269; Crocodile Chain Bag, ZARA, $179; Sunglasses, WILDFOX, $169
In Elisa's own words: "I really, really love this outfit. Rompers are a busty girl's best friend because they skim over your chest without any fit issues, but they're more interesting and on-trend than ANOTHER boring shift dress. For some reason I always thought long jackets were more flattering on me, but Charles sold me on a more cropped fit."
Special thanks to Panache for their invaluable bra-fitting services and the beautiful, supportive bras, which were the starting point for all these outfits, and were virtually invisible under every piece of clothing.

Leaders of the Democratic Party apparently think that attacking the Iraq war is the ticket to electoral success; over recent weeks, they have coordinated a series of attacks on the war, including the selective leak of misleading portions of the National Intelligence Estimate and Bob Woodward's just-released rehash of anti-war arguments. But how unpopular, in fact, is the war?
Michael Barone takes a look at recent poll numbers from belwether Ohio, and concludes: not as unpopular as the Democrats seem to think. On the questions whether we were right to invade Iraq and how well the war is going, respondents broke essentially 50/50. On the question whether we will ultimately succeed in establishing a secure democracy in Iraq, a clear majority say we will. And on the question whether we should stay in Iraq until the country is stabilized or cut and run, 61% say the former, and only 38% want to cut and run. In view of he present positions of the parties, those numbers break for the Republicans, not the Democrats.
As only Barone can, he shifts effortlessly from an analysis of this week's poll numbers to a delightful contemplation of the ways in which Bill Clinton and George W. Bush resemble Charles II and William III, respectively. Do yourself a favor and read it!
This–the Ohio poll, that is, not the 17th century history–ties in, I think, with the votes in the House and Senate on the Military Commissions Act. Today's New York Times, optimistic as usual, headlines Democrats See Strength in Bucking Bush, in connection with yesterday's Senate vote:
The Democratic vote in the Senate on Thursday against legislation governing the treatment of terrorism suspects showed that party leaders believe that President Bush's power to wield national security as a political issue is seriously diminished.
Well, maybe. But the Times' own acknowledgement of which Democrats parted company with their party to support the President belies the article's headline and lead:
Yet the minority of Democrats who joined with Republicans in passing the bill again illustrated that the party is unable to speak with one voice on security issues. Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, a Democrat up for re-election who often breaks with his party, said he was willing to follow the lead of Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, who lent the final legislation his strong endorsement. Mr. McCain is a potential Republican presidential candidate.
"I think people respect Senator McCain on these issues," Mr. Nelson said, "and I think he probably represents the views of a lot of people in Nebraska."
Four other Democrats facing voters this year — Bill Nelson of Florida, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, Thomas R. Carper of Delaware and Robert Menendez of New Jersey — voted for the bill.
To be sure, other Democrats who are up for re-election, like Hillary Clinton, voted against the bill. But those are the Democrats who, with the possible exception of Maria Cantwell, aren't facing tough races. And the Times didn't mention the fact, which I pointed out last night, that the two Democratic House members who are seeking Senate seats in November both voted with the administration. So Democratic politicians themselves are perhaps not as confident as their leadership and the New York Times that challenging President Bush on security issues is the way to get elected.
