Skip to comments.Santorum camp asking conservatives to pressure Gingrich to drop out
Posted on 03/06/2012 9:18:04 PM PST by LonelyCon
Rick Santorum's campaign is calling on conservatives to pressure Newt Gingrich to abandon his bid for the White House, a senior adviser told reporters tonight.
Senior campaign strategist John Brabender said the key for the campaign going forward will be creating an opportunity to challenge Mitt Romney one-on-one, though Brabender maintained the Santorum campaign would not directly call on Gingrich to drop out of the race.
"We're never going to call on anybody to get out, but what we are calling is on Tea Party supporters and conservatives is to rally behind the only candidate that has demonstrated over and over again that he's the one who can compete against Mitt Romney," Brabender said.
"The real key right now is, can we get an opportunity to get a one-on-one shot with Mitt Romney," he said.
(Excerpt) Read more at firstread.msnbc.msn.com ...
NEWT already earned it years ago! POS Rick is a liar and is NOT running on his record (it's pathetic) but to help Mitt to win. He's lying his way through and duping Americans.
I'm painfully aware that there are problems with Rick Santorum's record. He's not a hard-right strict economic conservative. His stances on economic policy are about what would be expected from a Republican in a heavily unionized traditional Democrat state — it is not reasonable to expect an elected official to ignore his constituents. Also, speaking as a Calvinist whose economic views are also framed by my religious beliefs, I cannot expect a Roman Catholic conservative to defy the teachings of his own church on economics. I'm a hard-right capitalist because I'm a Calvinist who believes in what is sometimes called the "Protestant work ethic." The Roman Catholic church teaches very different things from what I believe, and as long as Santorum is a member of the Roman Catholic Church, he **SHOULD** believe what his church teaches.
However, some of the items on Marguerite's list don't make sense from a conservative perspective.
Somebody explain why, from a conservative perspective, it is wrong for Santorum to attend a conservative Roman Catholic church along with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia whose priest is a member of Opus Dei, which is roughly a Roman Catholic equivalent to Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority or Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition.
Somebody explain why, from a conservative perspective, anybody should care that Rick Santorum attends a Latin Mass. That's his own business, and as long as he's attending a church where the Latin Mass is authorized by the local bishop, all it shows is Santorum is a strictly conservative Catholic.
Somebody explain why, from a conservative perspective, it is wrong for Santorum to oppose increases in the minimum wage.
Somebody explain why, from a conservative perspective, it is wrong to be a supporter of Wal-Mart, which, by the way, is strongly anti-union and routinely gets targeted for attacks by unions.
Somebody explain why, from a conservative perspective, it is wrong for Santorum to support tort reform to make lawsuits more difficult — especially since Santorum is himself a lawyer.
Somebody explain why, from a conservative perspective, it is wrong to push for eliminating the estate tax, which, by the way, would disproportionately benefit not Wal-Mart but rather small business owners who own unincorporated businesses and whose heirs could be forced to sell their parents' business if they die unexpectedly.
Somebody explain why, from a conservative perspective, it is wrong to promote coal plants which could eliminate or even reduce dependence on foreign oil. I am very leery of government getting involved in economic incentives to business, but if there's anything that the government **SHOULD** be promoting, it's things like this which have a clear national security benefit.
Looks to me like this list of complaints about Santorum includes some items which are actually reasons to vote for him.
Somebody in Gingrich's campaign can verify this quicker than me, but I strongly suspect that Newt Gingrich is also an opponent of increasing the minimum wage, a supporter of tort reform, and an opponent of the estate tax. If so, good for Gingrich. What's Mitt Romney's stance on those issues?

7. The defender of family values was also slavish in his devotion to a large American corporate behemoth, Wal-Mart: In the wake of the report about Santorums travel in the Wal-Mart corporate jet, I counted the many ways that Santorum had done the bidding of the worlds largest retailer in the Senate, including battling to limit any increases in the minimum wage and seeking to make changes in overtime rules that woulld benefit the company and hurt its blue-collar workforce, tort reform to limit lawsuits against what is said to be the worlds most-sued company, and changes in charitable giving laws and of course eliminating the estate tax that would benefit the billionaire heirs of Sam Walton.
8. Santorum has frequently insisted that his political values are guided by his religious values, and that John F. Kennedys famous 1960 speech describing a separtion between the two had done much harm in America. But despite inviting such scrutiny, theres been little discussion of Santorums ties to ultra-conservative movements within the Roman Catholic Church Santorums comments about JFK were made in Rome in 2002 when he spoke at a 100th birthday event for Jose Maria Escrivade Balaguer, founder of the secretive group within the church known as Opus Dei. Although Santorum says he is not a member of Opus Dei which has been criticized by some for alleged cult-like qualities and ties to ultra-conservative regimes around the world he did receive written permission to attend the ultra-conservative St. Catherine of Siena Church in Great Falls, Va., where Mass is still conducted in Latin and a long-time priest and many parishioners are members of Opus Dei, mingling with political conservatives like Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and former FBI director Louis Freeh.
I'd like to think the phone calls I made to my fellow Tennesseans helped put Santorum over the top.....but he topped it off by a very comfortable margin, and my phone calls were just a small part....Makes me proud.
"Rick Santorum's campaign is calling on conservatives to pressure Newt Gingrich to abandon his bid for the White House, a senior adviser told reporters tonight."
It says it all right there. He wants to know why a REAL conservative would stay in the race.
Newt is no one's puppet. And if he were any establishments puppet, don't who think he would have some establishment support.
Newt is the anti-establishment candidate.
I don't care about any of the crap. Its simple math.
In Florida, Santorum took less than Gingrich lost by. In Michigan Santorum lost by 3 and Gingrich took twice that. In Ohio, Santorum lost by 1 and Gingrich took double digits. Aside from winning Georgia last night, Gingrich finished no better than 3rd in the rest of the races.
Frankly, anyone who really believes Gingrich is going to come roaring back for the big win isn't being honest with themselves.
Its no secret that I don't like Gingrich but I do think he would be nearly ideal for a VP pick. He's strong willed enough that he would have considerable influence in a Santorum administration and he has experience in herding the cats in congress.
Not to mention the fact that Newt would destroy Biden in the VP debates.
Kinda makes me think back to when conservatives called on Santorum to endorse Pat Toomey over Arlen Specter. Santorum stabbed the conservatives in the back and endorsed Specter. Now Santorum's got the gall to ask conservatives to throw Newt under the bus. What a guy.
It's a simple matter of voting for the most competitive conservative in your given state. I caught hell from the Newt supporters last night for saying this, but it cuts both ways. If you know that Newt is NOT going to win, then don't be stupid and vote for him anyway. If you know Santorum is NOT going to win, then don't be stupid and vote for him anyway.
We here need to do our due diligence and prove that we're smart enough - and mature enough - to put defeating Barack Obama from Massachusetts as our #1 goal. We found out just recently that he lobbied Obama for Romneycare on a national level. Neither Rick nor Newt is even close to being that bad.
If Newt isn't competitive in any of the remaining states, then yes, he should drop out, but I find that scenario hard to believe. I think it's more likely that he and Santorum will each be popular in a few.
Frankly, a brokered convention is sounding better and better to me. I feel certain that's the only way we're going to stop Willard Romney the open socialist, and it might allow us to nominate someone who's better than Santorum AND Gingrich.
He ought to join with Newt and ask Mittens to get lost.
Can't go with it.
Destroying the opposition in debates is not the goal. Nobody watches them but us. Winning the votes of the uninformed american electorate is. . . they happen to be the majority.
Newt and Rick couldn't be more polarizing to the masses of uninformed on the other side of the aisle, who get their news from the old media. Wish it wasn't so, but it is.
"Santorum stabbed the conservatives in the back and endorsed Specter."
Yep, he'd make a mighty fine POTUS. Just the type the GOP elite yearn for.
There's a significant group of who wouldn't even vote if Gingrich dropped out.
MSNBC once again creates a narrative that isn't held up by reading the article.
Nobody called on Newt to drop out. LOL

I think I agree. Vice-presidents in modern times have rarely presided over the Senate, but I've said before that having Gingrich as president of the Senate could be a very interesting scenario. One thing nobody doubts is that Gingrich effectively blew apart the go-along-to-get-along climate of the House of Representatives and maybe he could also do that to the Senate.

I agree with you on this. Neither Gingrich nor Santorum are the enemy. Romney is, followed by Obama.
I admire your high level of enthusiasm, but Newt was 1-9 yesterday. If he doesn`t catch fire RIGHT NOW and run the table through the rest of the south and get lucky nearly everywhere else, it just simply isn`t going to happen for him.
Like it or hate it, as things stand now, Santorum — with all his warts — is the only barrier left to Romney going forward.
Rick is known to "take one for the team" He will compromise his convictions in a heartbeat.
We know what Romney is but RS is a rino in conservative suits.
Because Newt is the ONLY real conservative
He is stringed up with the GOP E and whatever they want, they pull him in that direction. He stands for nothing other than to be 'used' for their agenda. Lying lawyer that he is.
He already did in '08 when he campaigned/supported with the ONLY pro abortion and against traditional marriage, pro homo candidate. That's the real rick - he stands for nothing but 'his' gain.
Now suddenly he's standing for it today. He'll drop it for his gain anytime. He's a political whore liar.
darrell, the thread that SatinDoll was referencing in post 83 was pulled on Feb. 11 by Jim Robinson - Reason? - Trash.
Maybe Santorum is smart enough to know this, and maybe this is what he is working toward. Santorum's voters are not smart enough to even fathom this electoral game; and that's why Santorum is tailoring his message for this bloc of voters. Same as Huckabee in 2008.
Newt gave him a chance to take Michigan, and he blew it, perhaps deliberately.
Santorum had a chance to take Ohio, and he blew it, perhaps deliberately.
Maybe Santorum knew the game being planned in Virginia, and didn't bother to get on that ballot.
As it stands now, Newt is looking like the only sincere non-Romney candidate.
Here's what I posted elsewhere. Maybe somebody could suggest this to both the Santorum and Gingrich camps:
Id feel a heckuva lot better voting for either Gingrich or Santorum rather than Mitt though. Mitt was the FIRST one to force religious institutions to commit what they believe to be murder. Theres no way I can support somebody who does that. And no way I can support the R establishment after the shenanigans theyve done.
Gingrich and Santorum are both Catholics. How about they let God decide? How about they draw straws to see which will be the Pres and which will be the VP, and then go with whatever the Lord says? In the Old Testament times Gods people listened to the LORD by using the urim and thummin. Scripture says the LORD determines the cast of every die. If these guys are really trusting in the LORD they will be glad to take His answer and serve in whatever way HE ALONE says.
Somebody has to do something now. I havent followed every nook and cranny of the race but I dont think those 2 guys have burned any bridges with each other, and if they united in this way I think it would mean a lot to both camps and would say that they are SERIOUSLY serving the Lord and this country rather than their own ego.
I say let the LORD decide which is top on the ticket, and let them both make it clear what they did to resolve the issue. Before either one burns brdges that we need intact.
It's Santorum who should do the dropping out.
I don't think too many took the time to read it. The knee jerk reaction is so much more fun and opens the door to more bashing.
Lately, I look at the source, when I see it is questionable, I make sure I read the whole thing. The left loves to keep stirring the pot in order to keep conservatives all split up.
Gee, I remember not so long ago that all we heard was how vital South Carolina was to the republican primaries. No candidate has gone on to win the nomination without taking SC, blah blah blah. Gingrich is still in the hunt. Those I talk to and on FR, viscerally dislike the whining, Rick Santorum, so who is to say that if Newt dropped, Mr. Oral Moral would automatically get the votes?
If Gingrich wins the nomination, I suspect, in the general election, that the "Eagles Up" will be those of the XVII, XVIII, and XIX Legions.
HEAR! HEAR! Bobbisox!
How many votes for Romney were democrats in Republican clothing?
No, one-on-one means the conservatives who are the majority of the vote coalesce behind one candidate.
I think the Lord leaves such decisions up to us.
He hasn't earned it. Santorum did.
If Santorum is running for Romney to win - why has he beaten Romney 7 times so far?
From what I can see, it's just the opposite. Newt is helping Romney win states that he otherwise would win. Newt has cost team conservative 4 states while bringing home the bacon in 2. He's a liability.
Add Alaska to the tally.
Newt's team conservative record:
GA + SC brought in
OH + AK + MI gifted to Romney.
He's given away more states than he's actually taken in.
Sheldon Adelson seems to think Romney will be the nominee but continues to give money to Gingrich.
Does he have the delates to prove he's beaten Romney? NO. He is in the race to take away from the conservative in the race - Newt. Mitt knew he needed some buffers on his side to win - and right now santorum is that buffer. Santorum has NO record to run on.
Don't ignore the fact that santorum campaigned for Mitt - now mitt is using him in the race.
And now he's staying on social conservative values when Rick didn't give a flip about them and campaigned for the ONLY candidate who was pro abortion and against traditional marriage, Mitt.
He standing now for values he didn't give a flip about earlier - this values are surface!! And can be bought. But he can't run on his BIG gov't spending record.
And as much as he's crying about Romneycare NOW - he embraced it when he wasn't running.
He's just a 'take one for the team' GOP E slackly who will flip flop with whatever they want for his political gain. And his record proves it. It's not hearsay but TRUTH and he will FOOL anyone that can be FOOLED. He's a liar about Newt and a liar to America voters and a POS.
Gingrich will stick it out until his PAC man stops footing the bill if he doesn't begin to win more States. Since both are determined to stay in, it insures that Romney will be our nominee but not as quickly as he would have liked.
I say the man who lacks money and organization should bow out now but I doubt his pride will allow that.
By the 17th, if Newt Gingrich is not out of the race, Romney is the nominee. Newt will siphon off enough delegates that neither he nor Santorum will ever catch Romney.
It's going to be hard enough, even if Newt does drop out.
The real problem for Newt, is that the rest of the states are not his home state. He doesn't have a prayer.
Watching him try to turn a home state win into a game changer, was rather sad really. He knows it. His supporters can't admit it. To everyone else, it's plain as day. I'm sorry folks, it's over. Newt didn't pull it off. Risking Romney getting the nomination is pure ego driven all the way.
If Romney goes into the convention 100 votes shy of the nomination, Santorum has 500 delegates and Newt has 350, who are the delegates going to nominate? Newt?
This has reached the realm of flights of fantasy. Newt is done. The only question at this point, is Santorum done too? Only Newt can tell us.
Most if not all the rest of the states are proportional with regard to the delegate disbursement. No matter who is going up against Romney, they'll have a very hard time catching him a few delegates at a time.
Newt drops out now and maybe. He doesn't, Romney wins.
Thems the hard cold facts.
I'm thinking Romney needs to drop out, as 1/2 the Republicans won't EVER vote for him.
He got about half of that right i.e. somebody needs to drop out at this point, but it's Santorum who needs to drop out. Newt or Romney either one could win in November, I don't see a way Santorum could.
I think that at this point I'm going to have to withdraw my tepid acceptance of Santorum as a possible candidate. I'm sick of this.

You know... If you're going to make derisive statements like that, it would probably be best to reserve it for our true enemy (Barack Obama) than level it against well-intentioned fellow conservatives and FReepers who support Rick Santorum.
If I may inquire for thoughtful responses here... If Mississippi, Alabama, and Kansas go to Santorum next week, how much longer should Gingrich remain in the race?
Rick would have won Michigan, Ohio, Alaska and GEORGIA, AT LEAST, without Newt. It's time that Newt read the results: GET OUT NOW! He has great things to contribute, but right now, as a candidate, he is a fly in the ointment. Bob
We have had other candidates drop out because they were able to see the writing on the wall. Not everyone wants to see it.
That said, the chances left for Rick or Newt are sinking.
Sick of what? And allow Romney to go unchallenged all the way to the convention? Romney's judges have been liberals, his record has been liberal to socialist, and he is a rotten liar. We need someone fearless to carry the fight against both Romney and Obama. Buck up. We all have a tough fight ahead.

The Pot and the Kettle
Robin Brownlee
April 24 2008 04:10PM
Being a man of principle, Edmonton Oilers boss Kevin Lowe made it clear this week he doesn't hold former player agent Mike Gillis, now the GM of the Vancouver Canucks, in high regard. Lowe remains rightfully unhappy about being shunned by Michael Nylander, who backed out of a deal with the Oilers last summer when his wife tugged on the trousers and pulled out the hammer, informing hubby there was no way she was coming to Edmonton. Nylander's agent was none other than Gillis, and Lowe doesn't think he handled the situation as ethically as he should have. Suffice to say, Lowe won't be picking up the phone to talk trade with Gillis in his new capacity any time soon. "We haven't done many deals with Vancouver, although Dave Nonis and I had many conversations," Lowe told Darren Dreger of TSN. "I suspect we won't be doing any in the future." Lowe went on to say: "A lot of deals are done based on honesty and trust. He (Gillis) is going to be in tough earning trust. To orchestrate a trade, you have to have that trust going in." Pardon? Putting aside the fact Nylander stiffed in Washington after spurning the Oilers for an $18.5-million deal with the Capitals, is this the same Lowe who asked Mike Comrie to pay $2.5 million to complete a trade to the Anaheim Ducks? The same Lowe who, according to agent Ritch Winter, never said a word to Anaheim GM Bryan Murray about the money component as a requirement to get the trade completed? The same Lowe who told Murray and Winter they could begin working on a new contract, then made the $2.5 million stipulation at the 11th hour? That Lowe? Hmm.
Family Matters
The Oilers have always looked after their own, and that's unlikely to change under incoming owner Daryl Katz, who was a hardcore fan long before making his billions with Rexall. As tight as Katz is with Lowe and other Oilers he cheered for and became friends with in the 1980s, nepotism—the unconditional embrace of those who've worn the Oil Drop—might get cranked up a notch.
- Talk persists Craig Simpson will leave the TV booth again, this time for a front office job with the Oilers—likely in the capacity of an assistant GM to Lowe. What, exactly, qualifies Simpson? The answer escapes me. Oh, wait, 20 years ago, he scored 56 goals one season.
I'm wondering if some of the players who didn't enjoy Simpson acting as the vocal hammer for pal Craig MacTavish as an assistant coach will like him any better if he's kicked upstairs.
- Still on the Once-An-Oiler-Always-An-Oiler front, I keep hearing former captain and devout company man Kelly Buchberger will be promoted to MacTavish's staff after spending this season running the AHL show in Springfield.
If that move comes at the expense of Rob Daum, as opposed to being an addition to the existing staff, it's a mistake. Daum brought new ideas and a new perspective to the strategic mix. Daum complements assistants Bill Moores and Charlie Huddy. Daum can coach talent. Bucky?
Another thing...
- Nobody asked, but the first three names that come to mind ahead of Simpson if the Oilers really are looking to add to the front office are Doug Armstrong (he's still getting a cheque from Dallas), Winter (when hell freezes over) and Nonis (he'll end up in Anaheim with Burke).
- So, Joni Pitkanen will play for Finland at the World Championships. I'd have thought he'd need time to rest and let all those bumps and bruises that had him in and out of the Oilers line-up. The same could be said for Mathieu Garon, who'll be Canada's third stopper.
—Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 5pm on Total Sports with Bob Stauffer on Team 1260.
R.B. - Maybe the Oil management should stop looking at the old fashioned model of one size fits all as far as coaching is concerned. Could there be room for both styles in dealing with skill players and third and fourth line guys who may bring a little of both to the table. Coaching is seemingly more specialized with each passing season and team preparedness is critical expecially with players entering league play at younger ages and earlier stages of development. You can't really push the younger players into high pressure competition without the support behind them and get the kind of results you want. The speed of teams pursuing the D on the forecheck has seemingly altered forever the required skill-set of D-men.
fyvmvv: Absolutely. Coaching staffs need the right mix. You need the "work hard" and "c'mon boys" menntality, but you also need tactical expertise. It's nice if you can get both in the same guy, but that's rare. The right mix, the riht chemistry -- whatever you want to call it -- is very important.
Robin, being a hypocrite doesn't mean you're wrong. Lowe can perfectly well talk about Gillis' record in dealing with the Oil while he also was (and I'm not conceding the point) less than ethical with Anaheim. I'm not clouding the issue, I'm saying that everybody in the biz has pulled BS at some point or another. That doesn't mean none of them are allowed to point it out when it happens. And yeah, Winter can point fingers at Lowe all he wants, in the same vein - but using his own logic, wow, it's weird that a guy with a 20 or so year history of manipulation and shady dealings is pointing out somebody else's couple of dealings, eh? So, using his own logic, he should just sit in the corner and be quiet, especially since it doesn't really concern him at all.

Thanks again for the responses. I want to say how refreshing it for a person to give well thought out responses to questions.
Appreciate it. You have created a fan!
These are some questions that came to mind, not sure if you can answer or have any insight.
I completely agree on the Buchberger angle I wouldn't want him hired at the expense of Daum but could it possibly be a switch of portfolios. Would Daum coach in Springfield?
Also do we know that Armstrong (pulling up that name because I know it was mentioned on the show) would be interested in an Assistant GM job?
Lastly if you had to put a percentage change on Simpson being Assistant GM here. What odds would you lay?
Hockey Addict 101: I haven't asked Daum, but I can't see him turning down an offer to coach in the AHL for the sake of returning to the U of A because it keeps him in the organization.
Armstrong can do as he pleases because he's drawing cheques from Dallas for two more years and doesn't need the money. I suspect he'd prefer to remain at the GM level as opposed to being an asst. GM, but, as always, specifics of each situation will dictate.
As for Simpson -- keeping in mind I haven't talked to him and he probably wouldn't tell me anything if we did talk -- I'd put it at 50-50. If the Oilers decide to fill the position of asst. GM, even with Rick Olczyk in place as the "cap-olgist," my hunch is the job is Simpson's if he wants it.

: I have a weird house. A vent for the kitchen peninsula sink was used as an end support for overhead cabinets. I want to remodel and remove these cabinets. This would leave the vent in the middle of the kitchen. The closest exterior wall has upper glass panels. The drain services the sink and dishwasher. Any options for removing this vent? Or to be code must there be one within 5 feet? Could I run the vent outside the exterior wall possibly? Thanks mucho for any info.

Amazing shoe
"I needed a bronze metallic shoe for an event I was going to and this shoe went with my dress perfectly. I love the color. It's not too light or too dark. You can wear it with jeans or dress it up like I did. The platform and heel make the shoe very comfortable to wear. The slingback was a little loose, but I have a very narrow Achilles heel area so all slingbacks fit me this way. There was padding on the inside that made the shoe easier to walk in. I was in NYC for this event and was walking around most of the day and my feet were not screaming at the end of the night."

Just two minutes and fifteen seconds into Game Two of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals at Madison Square Garden, a wild melee took place on the ice, setting the stage for the war that was waged between the Rangers and Senators the rest of Saturday night.
Apparantly upset that Brian Boyle had tangled with Erik Karlsson in Game One, Ottawa's Matt Carkner jumped Boyle and repeatedly punched him while Boyle was on the ice in the opening minutes of the first period. New York's Brandon Dubinsky literally jumped to his teammate's defense, and all ten players on the ice scuffled---though the only penalties doled out were to Dubinsky and Carkner, who--among other penalties that were called---were both ejected from the game.
"Dubi is big for us, and it was tough to see him kicked out that early in the game," said alternate captain Marc Staal. "It was clear (Carkner) was going after (Boyle), and he jumps him and starts punching him when he's down on the ice. It is what it is, I guess."
After the game neither Boyle nor head coach John Tortorella would discuss the incident with Carkner. Ottawa coach Paul MacLean adamantly said that he did not believe Carkner would receive a suspension for his actions.

New Zealand will celebrate their 500th Test match in Christchurch on Saturday with hopes of a sixth consecutive win against France.
New Zealand will celebrate their 500th Test match at AMI Stadium in Christchurch on Saturday with hopes of a sixth consecutive win against France.
This weekend's game will only be the second time the All Blacks have played at the Addington venue having hosted Ireland there last year. Indeed it's almost a year to the day that New Zealand were forced to dig very deep to scrape past the Irish tourists 22-19.
That result sparked talks of a possible historic win for the Irish in the third Test a week later, only for the men in green to be obliterated 60-0.
Following last week's close run thing at Eden Park, France have travelled south harbouring similar aspirations to their Six Nations counterparts and, with all due respect to the Irish, the French ambitions are a touch more credible.
A Test series is a bit like a three-round boxing match as the opponents size each other up, react and counteract. We can draw five conclusions from the opening salvo in Auckland:
1 – France's horrendous Six Nations campaign is not a reflection of their true strength. Les Bleus still have a deep pool of talent to draw from and the All Blacks are often the team to draw the best out of them.
2- New Zealand have a significant margin for improvement after a rusty start to their international season.
3 – New Zealand v France remains one of the best fixtures to watch at any level of the game. Their styles complement each other and when it's on, oh boy, is it ON. (The All Blacks are the highest try scorers in Test history with a total of 1706. France are second, having scored a total of 1,623 tries in 693 matches).
4 – France have massive issues at scrum time, a rare situation in a long and proud history in the set-piece.
5 – The All Blacks miss Richie McCaw more than they're willing to admit.
As you would expect, Steve Hanson and Philippe Saint-André have moved to remedy their respective issues as far as possible. While the All Blacks have named an unchanged starting XV and will have used an extra week to gel, France welcome back a couple of familiar faces: Nicolas Mas is ready to roll having made his comeback from a long injury lay-off against the Blues on Tuesday and Fred Michalak is back to add an extra dose of the unexpected to the French mix.
That midweek game has had good and bad consequences for France as it revealed that Maxime Médard is back to his dangerous best with 15 on his back but it also forces flank Yannick Nyanga to take a place on the bench having played most of first Test due to Fulgence Ouedraogo's injury before captaining the 'dirt trackers' in Albany.
That means South African-born blindside Bernard le Roux will make his Test debut this weekend which will be interesting to watch considering just how well the French back-row performed last week.
For all their positive efforts at the breakdown, where they generally had the upper hand, the French lost the game at scrum time where they were thrashed, an anomaly that has been the central topic of discussion in French columns all week. It's very apparent that Daniel Kotze is not up to scratch at Test level and it's a sad situation if Luc Ducalcon is the only other option when Mas retires.
Mas and Michalak's return also means France field a more experienced starting XV with a total of 444 caps compared to New Zealand's total of 391. France also field an older starting XV with an average age of 28 compared to New Zealand's 26.
France captain Thierry Dusautoir will overtake Jean-Pierre Rives' record of 59 Test starts in the back-row this weekend while All Blacks skipper Kieran Read wins his 50th Test cap on Saturday. Both sides have potential debutants on their benches in Jeremy Thrush and Remi Tales.
All the ingredients are there for another cracking game: France have got a scent of rare win on Kiwi soil while the All Blacks will want to set the record straight. There's a great mix of old heads and fresh faces and the visitors have shown the are willing to take New Zealand on at their own game. Expect lots of attacking from deep to keep us entertained.
Players to watch:
For New Zealand: Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith will combine in the midfield for the 45th time on Saturday, overtaking the tally achieved by the English pairing Will Carling and Jeremy Guscott. Brian O'Driscoll and Gordon D'Arcy of Ireland hold the record, having played a total of 50 Tests as a centre partnership. With Rene Ranger in amazing form and suggestions that a Cruden-Carter 10-12 combo might be the way forward, both midfielders will be keen to show everyone why they have been consistently considered the benchmark for a centre duo for the last four years.
For France: Love him or hate him, Fred Michalak is always sure to leave his mark on a match. PSA obviously has massive confidence in the Toulon scrum-half as he changes his half-back duo yet again. Even Michalak said he was surprised to get picked but he'll know better than most that it usually takes something special to beat the All Blacks. Florian Fritz had a great game last week but with Mathieu Bastareaud back in contention after his late arrival, another top-class performance will be required to keep the blue 13 jersey.
Head-to-head: Just in case you didn't get the point being made above, the return of Nicolas Mas couldn't have come at a better time and he will want to show Wyatt Crockett why he is considered one of the best scrummagers in the game. There is very little between the packs in terms of size. New Zealand will have a 3kg per man weight advantage up front, weighing in at an average 111kg per man.
Previous results:
2013: New Zealand won 23-13 in Auckland
2011: New Zealand won 8-7 in Auckland
2011: New Zealand won 37-17 in Auckland
2009: New Zealand won 39-12 in Marseille
2009: New Zealand won 14-10 in Wellington
2009: France won 27-22 in Dunedin
2007: France won 20-18 in Cardiff
2007: New Zealand won 61-10 in Wellington
2007: New Zealand won 42-11 in Auckland
2006: New Zealand won 23-11 in Paris
2006: New Zealand won 47-3 in Lyon
2004: New Zealand won 45-6 in Paris
2003: New Zealand won 40-13 in Sydney
2003: New Zealand won 31-23 in Christchurch
2002: France and New Zealand drew 20-20 in Paris
Prediction: Les Bleus pushed their hosts close last week but we'll do well to remember the All Blacks haven't lost at home – to anyone – in almost four years. That's not a record to be scoffed at. New Zealand by 10 points!
The teams:
New Zealand: 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Ben Smith, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Kieran Read (c), 7 Sam Cane, 6 Liam Messam, 5 Brodie Retallick, 4 Luke Romano, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Dane

Income generating through rehabilitation of historical old citiesDec 24, 2013
Tripoli, Libya: December 23, 2013. The United Nations Development programme and the authority of historical cities of Libya- Ministry of Local Government signed a project document on December 23, 2013to launch income generating activities through the rehabilitation of old historical cities in Libya.
In a ceremony organized and hosted by the Ministry of Local Government, the UNDP Country Director, Mr. Eric Overvest, Mr. Saleh Saeed Mohammed on behalf of Ministry of Local Government and Mr. El SdekOmranElrgeg, General Manager of the Historical Cities Authority signed on the project document.
The rehabilitation project will start the implementation in January 2014and is expected to create direct employment opportunities for about 500 local residents of Sebha and its environs. The project has two years life span with a total budget of about US$ 2.4 million.
In addition to renovating the historical buildings, the project will have an impact on the livelihoods of the population in the area as it will create income for the private sector, traditional handicrafts and businesses working for the rehabilitation of the old town. After the renovation, it is expected that tourism sector will also start to flourish as most of the old cities of Libya have a remarkable and unique architecture styles.
Through this project UNDP will play a role in creating employment and income generating activities and strengthening community-level engagement in the implementation of the project.The long term objective of the project is to create an enabling environment for local communities to establish micro and small scale businesses.
Reports indicate that similar programme was implemented in Ghadamesarea in 2004 by UNDP and the project was successful and contributed in developing the tourism sector and local economic recovery. After the 2011 revolution,Sabhais the first historical city benefiting from the project and it is expected that the project will be replicated in other areas of Libya in cooperation with different stakeholders including national institutions, the private sector, civil society organizations and UNESCO.

There really is no simple answer to saline or silicone whether the choice is for a reconstructive or cosmetic patient. For me it comes down to discussing the pros and cons of each with the patient and trying to help them decide which is best for them.
A recent article in the journal Cancer suggests that reconstructive patients are more satisfied with silicone implants over saline. Upon looking at the information closer, it is an ever so slight increase in satisfaction as to be laughable.
Colleen M. McCarthy, MD, MS, of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, and colleagues conducted a multicenter, cross-sectional survey of 482 postmastectomy, implant-based reconstruction patients. A total of 672 women were asked to complete the BREAST-Q (Reconstruction Module), but only 482 completed them (176 women had silicone implants and 306 chose saline).
BREAST-Q Reconstruction Module scores satisfaction in 15-items including breast shape, feel to the touch, appearance, feelings of "normalcy," and integration into self. The score averaged 58.0 for silicone implants versus 52.5 with saline implants on a 100-point scale in a univariate analysis.
Why are the scores so low (58.0 and 52.5)? This study wasn't planned to discern those answers though it did note that the addition of radiation to the mix lowered the satisfaction scores.
The article by Scott Spear, MD is a wonderful review of the pros and cons of each. It is well worth reading. He summarizes at the end of his article:
As implant choices have evolved, certain concepts have proven useful. When the main determinant for patient satisfaction is the shape and feel of the implant (and in cases where the implant might be especially visible), a silicone gel implant is the better choice. In cases where the primary concerns are safety (real or perceived), minimal access incisions, and ease of monitoring, saline may prove to be a better choice.

Most people already know Followerwonk is an extremely valuable tool for any SEO, I've been using it more and more of late for all manner of task related to social media stalking. (I've even been using it to find suppliers for eCommerce stores)
Even with the free access there's a lot you can get out of Wonk, in particular from the Bio Search if you're looking for connections. Anybody using this search often is sure to have experimented with some of the basic search operators already.
Disappointingly for search geeks though there's very little documentation (I couldn't find it at least) on getting more advanced with your queries unless you want to dig through the Sphinx reference manual. In truth it's not a great read so I've pulled out a few gems which have been useful to me in the past, hopefully you'll find a use for them too

Caution: The documentation you are viewing is
for an older version of Zend Framework.
You can find the documentation of the current version at docs.zendframework.com
Working with Zend_TimeSync - Zend_TimeSync
Working with Zend_TimeSync
Zend_TimeSync can return the actual time from any given NTP or SNTP time server. It can automatically handle multiple servers and provides a simple interface.
Note: All examples in this chapter use a public, generic time server: 0.europe.pool.ntp.org. You should use a public, generic time server which is close to your application server. See » http://www.pool.ntp.org for information.
Generic Time Server Request
Requesting the time from a time server is simple. First, you provide the time server from which you want to request the time.
So what is happening in the background of Zend_TimeSync? First the syntax of the time server is checked. In our example, '0.pool.ntp.org' is checked and recognised as a possible address for a time server. Then when calling getDate() the actual set time server is requested and it will return its own time. Zend_TimeSync then calculates the difference to the actual time of the server running the script and returns a Zend_Date object with the correct time.
For details about Zend_Date and its methods see the Zend_Date documentation.
Multiple Time Servers
Not all time servers are always available to return their time. Servers may be unavailable during maintenance, for example. When the time cannot be requested from the time server, you will get an exception.
Zend_TimeSync is a simple solution that can handle multiple time servers and supports an automatic fallback mechanism. There are two supported ways; you can either specify an array of time servers when creating the instance, or you can add additional time servers to the instance using the addServer() method.
There is no limit to the number of time servers you can add. When a time server can not be reached, Zend_TimeSync will fallback and try to connect to the next time server.
When you supply more than one time server- which is considered a best practice for Zend_TimeSync- you should name each server. You can name your servers with array keys, with the second parameter at instantiation, or with the second parameter when adding another time server.
Naming the time servers allows you to request a specific time server as we will see later in this chapter.
Protocols of Time Servers
There are different types of time servers. Most public time servers use the NTP protocol. But there are other time synchronization protocols available.
You set the proper protocol in the address of the time server. There are two protocols which are supported by Zend_TimeSync: NTP and SNTP. The default protocol is NTP. If you are using NTP, you can omit the protocol in the address as demonstrated in the previous examples.
Zend_TimeSync can handle mixed time servers. So you are not restricted to only one protocol; you can add any server independently from its protocol.
Using Ports for Time Servers
As with every protocol within the world wide web, the NTP and SNTP protocols use standard ports. NTP uses port 123 and SNTP uses port 37.
But sometimes the port that the protocols use differs from the standard one. You can define the port which has to be used for each server within the address. Just add the number of the port after the address. If no port is defined, then Zend_TimeSync will use the standard port.
Time Servers Options
There is only one option within Zend_TimeSync which will be used internally: timeout. You can set any self-defined option you are in need of and request it, however.
The option timeout defines the number of seconds after which a connection is detected as broken when there was no response. The default value is 1, which means that Zend_TimeSync will fallback to the next time server if the requested time server does not respond in one second.
With the setOptions() method, you can set any option. This function accepts an array where the key is the option to set and the value is the value of that option. Any previously set option will be overwritten by the new value. If you want to know which options are set, use the getOptions() method. It accepts either a key which returns the given option if specified, or, if no key is set, it will return all set options.
As you can see, the options for Zend_TimeSync are static. Each instance of Zend_TimeSync will use the same options.
Using Different Time Servers
Zend_TimeSync's default behavior for requesting a time is to request it from the first given server. But sometimes it is useful to set a different time server from which to request the time. This can be done with the setServer() method. To define the used time server set the alias as a parameter within the method. To get the actual used time server call the getServer() method. It accepts an alias as a parameter which defines the time server to be returned. If no parameter is given, the current time server will be returned.
- 'fallback' => 'ntp:\\1.pool.ntp.org'));
- $server->addServer('sntp:\\internal.myserver.com', 'additional');
- $actual = $server->getServer();
- $server = $server->setServer('additional');
Information from Time Servers
Time servers not only offer the time itself, but also additional information. You can get this information with the getInfo() method.
The returned information differs with the protocol used and can also differ with the server used.
Handling Exceptions
Exceptions are collected for all time servers and returned as an array. So you can iterate through all thrown exceptions as shown in the following example:
- $serverlist = array(
- // invalid servers
- 'invalid_a' => 'ntp://a.foo.bar.org',
- 'invalid_b' => 'sntp://b.foo.bar.org',
- );
- $server = new Zend_TimeSync($serverlist);
- try {
- $result = $server->getDate();
- echo $result->getIso();
- } catch (Zend_TimeSync_Exception $e) {
- $exceptions = $e->get();
- foreach ($exceptions as $key => $myException) {
- echo $myException->getMessage();
- echo '<br />';
- }
- }

I am interested in knowing who won the ladies US title? Did Sasha Cohen compete? If so, how did she do?
I am interested in knowing who won the ladies US title? Did Sasha Cohen compete? If so, how did she do?
I'm pretty sure it hasn't started yet. Will start later today, I think.
It hasn't started so nobody has won yet.

first, the free dance hasn't started yet
second, yes, if you'd just read the threads on the ladies competition you'd note that Sasha Cohen did compete...
instead of having us do the work, just do a bit of searching here or on icenetwork and you'd get all your answers solved -or, better yet, read the articles on Golden Skate!
Sorry, I asked.....
Ladskater, we're all still biting our nails over this one. Unfortunately, the Nationals are being held in the westernmost time zone, so everything is still to be decided. I can tell you that the top three skaters are in a virtual tie after the short program: Nagasu, Sasha, and Rachael Flatt in that order. All three of those ladies did a solid job. Flatt did the only triple-triple of the bunch (though I vaguely recall that it was downgraded), Sasha did an amazing job considering that she hasn't competed in four years--her spiral made nearly everyone else's look stiff by comparison, and her footwork was like lightning. Mirai was splendid, lacking only a triple-triple. I'm hoping she'll have as spectacular a free skate as Joannie Rochette, whose long program for the Canadian Nationals was one for the ages.
Alas, Caroline Zhang and Alyssa Czisny fell at least once each and are pretty far down. It's always sad to watch such gifted skaters slump dejectedly off the ice.
Ask us again in about 3 hours! I hope I don't expire of nerves before the end of the competition. More than that, I hope none of the skaters expire of nerves either.
meant the free program... sorry still have ice dance on the brain, good catch
and just incase you are still having trouble finding coverage of the US Ladies SP, Lad, here's the Golden Skate article I was referring to. - http://www.goldenskate.com/articles/2009/us_slsp.shtml
Last edited by Tonichelle; 01-23-2010 at 08:28 PM.
The event is underway right now. The live TV broadcast is starting in five minutes.
Flatt won the long program and the title. Nagasu was silver with her first placed short and third placed long. Wagner moved up a slot to third with a second place long. Cohen dropped to fourth with a fourth placed long.
Flatt and Nagasu are likely going to the Olympics.
Sasha skated her typical type of free skate.
Soogar, I was too nervous to notice the program as a whole but I was never happy about her choice of Moonlight Sonata for the FP. ITA with you on that - that music has become trite with overexposure and is too much of a downer. Sasha always does better with music that has more momentum and sparkle. But she really fought to stay upright even on wonky jumps. I give her huge points for the effort but she just ran out of prep time.
Mirai should have won. Within ten minutes it was obvious that the judging of this event was going to be controversial. Too bad - the judges looked like they were gonna make it through Nats with almost unanimous kudos!
PS: Ladskate, don't feel bad. Ask whatever you want. You're right, this is the nice board!!

Memorable day for Bansley and Maloney at beach volleyball tourSANYA, China (April 27, 2012) – Heather Bansley and Liz Maloney of Toronto gave their Olympic qualification hopes a giant boost on Friday stringing together three consecutives wins in main draw action at the second stop on the FIVB World Tour beach volleyball circuit.
With the wins, Bansley and Maloney moved into the fourth round of competition and can finish no lower than seventh. The Canadians are in the heat of the battle for a top-16 placing in the FIVB Olympic rankings by the end of June which would qualify them for the Games.
"We are happy with how we played today and how we came back from our loss yesterday," said Bansley. "We are thankful it was cooler today, yesterday it was pretty hot."
After going 1-1 on Thursday, the Canadian pair seeded 15th, defeated 16th seeds Maria Tsiartsiani and Vasiliki Arvaniti of Greece 17-21, 21-17, 15-13 in 66 minutes, one of the longest matches of the tournament so far.
They followed with a 21-18, 21-17 win over Emilia Nystrom and Erika Nystrom of Finland and finally upset 11th seeds Liliane Maestrini and Angela Vieira of Brazil 21-19, 21-13.
With that upset, Bansley and Maloney believe they can surpass their best ever seventh place World Tour finish from a year ago.
"I think so,'' said Bansley. ''We've prepared very well in the off-season, we are playing well as a team and I think we can do better.''
They face another potential three-match day again on Saturday starting against fourth seeds Krystina Kolocova and Marketa Slukova of the Czech Republic.

Professor Tony Howard, University of Warwick
When I was invited to think about curating a film programme to accompany the British Museum's exhibition Shakespeare: staging the world, my first thought was to connect with the idea of the Cultural Olympiad, and to focus on Olympic years. In 1948, when London last hosted the Games, Laurence Olivier and Orson Welles respectively directed Hamlet and Macbeth; they're two radically different films, one a self-conscious classic involving Britain's finest actors, designers and musicians, the other a 'charcoal sketch' filmed in a fortnight but nonetheless one of the most visually brilliant of all Shakespearean films. Together, they invented a genre.
There were attractions to the idea of tracing the parallel progress of the Olympics and Shakespearean film from London to Rome to Tokyo and beyond. But it was soon obvious that our programme should actually relate to the exhibition itself, and to its content. The exhibition is called Shakespeare: staging the world – how has cinema re-imagined the worlds that Shakespeare staged?
So there are three parts to the film programme: 'Shakespeare's Rome', 'Shakespeare's England', and 'Shakespeare's Magic'.
With both 'Rome' and 'England' we have presented two films. First an early landmark in the development of Shakespeare's adaptation for the screen, then a more recent work, able to build on the groundwork and eager to experiment with ideas of history, politics, and the ways we all encounter them – via the media.
We began with the 1953 MGM Julius Caesar starring Marlon Brando, and we'll follow it with Ralph Fiennes' brilliant updating of Coriolanus into the Balkans War and our era of 24-hour television news. Then comes Olivier's beautiful Henry V and Richard Loncraine and Ian McKellen's Richard III, set in an Alternative History version of 1930s London, where King Edward married an American divorcee and lived in St. Pancras Station while his brother George…I'd best stop there: spoilers.
The season began with a packed house for Julius Caesar and a post-screening discussion that carried on into the street. We'll conclude with a study day on Saturday 17 November. We'll ask how directors have accepted the challenge of visualising the supernatural in Macbeth and The Tempest.
In the morning we'll focus on 'Macbeth on Six Continents', exploring versions from Hollywood (Welles gets in after all), Ladywood, Madagascar and…sorry. No. Spoilers.
And that afternoon we shall celebrate Derek Jarman's astonishing counter-cultural Tempest, which he filmed in Stoneleigh Abbey in Warwickshire during the 1979 Winter of Discontent.
We shall, I'm thrilled to say, be joined by Don Boyd, The Tempest's producer (who himself went on to direct Richard Harris as King Lear) and David Meyer, Jarman's Ferdinand (who previously played Hamlet on screen opposite Helen Mirren). Actually, to be precise, Don directed a modernised Lear set in Liverpool gangland, and David and his twin brother Tony played Hamlet simultaneously opposite Helen Mirren as Ophelia and the Queen.
Shakespeare on screen is extraordinary. It can be something very rich and strange.
The study day Filming Shakespeare's magic: Macbeth on six continents and Prospero in England is at the British Museum on Saturday 17 November.

Comments: These gloves come out of the bag ready to play with almost no break-in time required. Very comfortable and greater movement range than most of the other gloves I have tried on in pro shops. As is the current trend, you wont find any finished leather-- it is instead replaced by durable feeling nylon-like material. The palms have held up so far (playing 3x a week for the past year). I wish the sweat liner on the inside was removable to aid in washing, but they do fold out so you can get a faucet onto them fairly easily. These gloves give you a more traditional design thats using current materials and have more maneuverability than all of these new crazy styles and designs that are coming out. More importantly, they look good!
From: Kyle, Seattle, WA
Comments: I have tried many different gloves on the market. There are so many brands and styles and shapes of hockey gloves, but the most important thing for any Hockey player should be comfort. All gloves pretty much do the same thing as far as safety is concerned, so comfortability should be the number one priority. After trying on a pair of CCM 4 Roll PRO II Hockey Gloves, I knew immediately that I needed to buy them. Wearing these gloves felt great. It's was as if there is a comfortable couch on both my hands. These gloves seem to be already broken in. Any experienced hockey player hates breaking in new gloves. It is a great feeling to be able to purchase a pair of gloves, and be able to immediately wear them in a game without losing a step! I highly recommend these gloves to any hockey player, experienced or beginner!

Getable Rental Expert
A backhoe, also called a rear actor or back actor, is a piece of excavating equipment or digger consisting of a digging bucket on the end of a two-part articulated arm. They are typically mounted on the back of a tractor or front loader, the later forming a 'backhoe loader'. The section of the arm closest to the vehicle is known as the boom, and the section which carries the bucket is known as the dipper or dipper-stick (the terms "boom" and "dipper" having been used previously on steam shovels). The name "backhoe" refers to the action of the shovel, not its location on the vehicle: a backhoe digs by drawing earth backwards, rather than lifting it with a forward motion like a man shovelling, a steam shovel or a bulldozer. Confusingly, the buckets on some backhoes may be reconfigured facing forward, making them "hoes". However they are not as effective in that orientation, since the dimensions of the various components are optimized for backhoeing. Most backhoes are at their strongest curling the bucket, with the dipper arm next most powerful, and boom movements the least powerful.
available dig depths
There are not great differences in size from one backhoe to the next. Of all heavy machinery, backhoes vary the least in size from one model to the next. While there are front-end loaders and excavators -- even skidsteers -- that are monstrous in relation to other machines in the same class, there are not incredibly large backhoes nor mini-backhoes.
Renting a backhoe is a good option if a person has a variety of jobs on a site to accomplish, but a limited number of machines. An operator can dig a trench for pipe (sewer, water or gas), for utilities or an operator can dig trench for a drainage system or irrigation. An operator can also use the bucket on the back to dig a foundation or a basement. The bucket on the front end can quickly scoop up spoils and put them in a pile or load them in the back of a dump truck or end or side dump tandem. The front bucket is also ideal for flattening or forming an area within a jobsite. A backhoe can do anything a loader or excavator can do, but on a smaller scale.
