- About the brand
As featured in Dermatology Times, the leading newsmagazine for
dermatologists. Clearogen is recognized as the best over-the-counter anti-acne
formula based on proven ingredients for an effective treatment to clear up
existing acne and prevent new acne from developing. Clearogen addresses the real
cause of acne. Clearogen is effective against male & female puberty acne,
menstrual acne, stress induced acne, body acne and acne that has been
non-responsive to other products.
Most people don't realize that acne does not begin with clogged pores or bacteria. According to Dermatologists and skin researchers, the leading causes of acne are neither clogged pores nor bacteria. Although clogged pores and bacteria play a role in the development of acne they don't start it. The fact is that acne begins in the oil glands (sebaceous glands).
A hormonal byproduct called DHT (Dihydro-testosterone) found in both males and females stimulates the oil glands, resulting in excessive oil production. Normally the oil helps protect the outer layers of the skin, but when overproduced it can clog the pores. Oil builds up in the pores and provides the environment for bacterial growth. Bacteria digest the excess oil and trigger the body's immune system to destroy the bacteria, which results in visible acne (recognized as white heads, black heads, and blemishes)
Foaming Skin Cleanser:Salicylic acid 2%, Deionized Water, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Butylene Glycol, Di-PPG-2-Myreth-10 Adipate, Polysorbate 20, Triethanolamine, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch, Aloe (Aloe Arbadensis ) Vera Gel, Rosemary Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Lavender E.O.

As with all skin care products begin the regimen gradually to allow your skin to acclimate to Clearogen. If you have sensitive skin, initially apply Clearogen every other day for one week then continue with daily application. Before exposure to sunlight use a non-comedogenic UVA/UVB sunscreen.
Created by board certified dermatologist, Alex Khadavi MD, Clearogen is designed to help control and treat acne in 3 easy steps. This collection includes a cleanser, toner and lotion that work to inhibit DHT, a hormone that causes excess oil. Clearogen kills bacteria and soothes infection for smooth, clear skin.
The Only Thing That Works!I started using Clearogen after proactive started to not work for me anymore. It worked amazing, no breakouts, great skin. In search for something that worked just as good but cheaper, I found the Acne.org acne kit. I switched to that kit because it was so much cheaper and the reviews where amazing. BAD CHOICE!!!!!!!!!! My skin broke out, was flakey and dry, huge cystic acne on my face - it was bad. Ive started using my Clearogen again and my face within 2 weeks was back to normal. I will NEVER switch again!May 29, 2012Megan A. / Vancouver

Waste Of MoneyBought this product for my son, and it did not work for him at all. He had better results with an infomercial acne product, so he went back to thatMay 14, 2011Vic / Southwest

This Product Works!The first week my face got worse and then during the second week it started looking alot better. After the first two weeks my face has looked great ever since! I love these products. Occasionally during "that time of the month" I start to break out a little, but I make sure I am really diligent with using the products, especially the facial cleanser and within a day, two at the most my face looks great again. I have tried proactive, acne free, neutrogena, clean and clear, and many more and have never gotten the lasting results that I have gotten from this product. I almost didn't buy it because of the price, but then thought twice and I am so glad I did. I bought it for my teenage daughter as well and she has had the same results. I even took her to a dermatologist and the prescription they gave her did not even come close to the results that we have achieved. Thank you, thank you clearogen!Oct 25, 2010Allison / United States

A Clearer FutureI think this product has made a difference in my skin. I have had breakouts in my chin and lip area and once I started using all three products, the breakouts have definitely diminished. So I am thrilled. I will say, however, that I wish the cleanser was a bit more effective, I find myself washing my face twice just to get a really clean feeling, and I find that the toner is drying, but I have older skin, so maybe it is just drier overall from my age (43). Overall, I will re-order and keep using.Jan 11, 2010Jules / United States

Exceptional ResultsI've had acne for 25 years and tried numerous product, both prescription and OTC. I was skeptical this system would work since the ingredients were almost identical to the products I was using. After reading the reviews I ordered the product. After a month my skin is clearer than it has been in years (I did notice my skin broke out more during the first 5 days of treatment). Not only have my breakouts subsided, my pores appear smaller and the clarity of my skin has improved so much that co-workers have complimented me. I have extremely oily skin and this system has significantly decreased my skin's oil production. I've never written a review about a product before and since I'm so pleased with the results I wanted to share my experience with others who have tried everything with no success.Nov 18, 2009Jennifer / United States

Currently AmbivalentI received my order of Clearogen two weeks ago. My face was pretty much clear with a few irritations prior to going on this system, but I have bouts of severe breakouts so I thought going on this system would be a preventative approach. I have been on ProActive (extra strength), PanOxyl, over the counter cleansing sets (Clearasel,etc), dermatologist prescribed oral meds/topical creams, one of the only products I have yet to "try" has been Accutane. However, with that being said, I am giving this product time to "clear" up my skin, even though I have safely assumed this is the adjusting period and my skin is reacting with breaking out? Anyway, I'll rate this product again by week 6.Aug 24, 2009Danielle Lyn / Florida, United States

Cystic Acne GoneI suffered from moderate cystic acne before I started using this. After about six weeks, the cystic acne disappeared. I still have oily skin, but I just use blotting papers throughout the day. Wonderful system.Mar 25, 2009Krystal / Illinois

Really Really Works!!!I am 23 yeas old and have tried every over the counter product and have seen multiple dermatologists and nothing has worked. I eat right and I am in great physical health. THIS PRODUCT WORKS!!!. I have been using it for four days and see a major difference. Combine Clearogen with Fish Oil supplements and Zinc and you will see results. Buy this product see for yourself and spread the word!!!*Only Negative is it is a bit pricey*Jan 19, 2009Steve / Illinois

Best Product I Have Ever Used.I am a 34 year old male with acne problems still today; face acne and chest and body acne. I have tried every product that I could get my hands on, until I found clearogen. This product is the best. It cleared my face acne and my chest and back as well! One prduct in as little as 3 days had cleared my body almost entirely of all acne issue. Of course I have the occassional bump or ingrown hair but the acne is gone. I use it everyday and it is truly worth every penny!!Jan 10, 2009Bryan Sanders / Dallas,TX

Did Absolutely Nothing...I bought this product after reading all the great reviews and it sadly did nothing but dry out my skin. My breakouts are appearing with the same frequency and severity and I have used the product for about two months. At this point, I have stopped and would not recommend purchasing it, especially for as expensive as it is.Dec 9, 2008Dvegas

Tom Prydie inspired a second-half comeback for the Dragons in their 23-14 victory over Treviso in Newport on Friday.
Tom Prydie inspired a second-half comeback for the Dragons in their 23-14 victory over Treviso in Newport on Friday.
Treviso looked to be in the driving seat after they led 14-6 at the break courtesy of tries from centre Doppies La Grange and replacement back row Filippo Giusti.
But the Dragons, whose only points in the first period came from the boots of Steffan Jones and winger Prydie, turned the match on its head as both men added tries and Prydie kicked seven extras.
The hosts were rocked into action early on when Treviso took the lead with a well-worked touchdown that came after pressure in the Dragons' 22.
Ludovico Nitoglia came within a centimetre of scoring and once the ball was recycled it found its way to the left for La Grange to cut back inside and ground the try.
The Dragons, far from going into their shell, hit back and almost went over when number eight Ieuan Jones saw the ball knocked into touch just as he was about to apply the downward pressure.
They drove on further and had Treviso battling to cover the gaps in their defence. However, when the chances came their way, Jones managed just one successful penalty out of three attempts during the period, leaving Prydie to take over and land another penalty before the break.
And it was not a happy match for Jones at that stage as he clashed with Alberto Di Bernardo in an incident that threatened to come to blows.
After Giusti came on for calf injury victim Robert Barbieri, the back rower was on hand to grab Treviso's second touchdown.
Once Di Bernardo added the conversion, Treviso looked well on the way to victory. Home coach Darren Edwards needed to instill some confidence into his side as they faced a tall order to turn the tables and win a vital match in their bid to claw away from the lower end of the league table.
They found it at last in their outside-half and winger. Jones redeemed himself when he burst through from 25 metres for a run-in under the posts, making Prydie's conversion simple.
That reduced the arrears to a single point and the Dragons were boosted again when wing Christian Loamanu was sin-binned on the hour for foul play on lock Ian Nimmo.
Prydie then attempted to claim a try when he had a tiny amount of room to squeeze through and put the ball over the Italians' line. It would have been referred to a video referee had there been one watching. Instead all it got was a scrum.
Then the Italians suffered a horrible blow when Di Bernardo fell to the ground and was stretchered off by medics after a five-minute delay. When the game resumed, the Dragons fired again as Prydie went over for their second try to put the Welshmen into the lead for the first time.
For all their endeavour, Treviso went home without even a losing bonus point when Prydie sent a touchline penalty booming between the posts to leave the Italians nine points short.
It gave the Dragons only their fourth victory out of 14 league games but put them just two points shy from 10th-placed Connacht, who lost without a bonus point, at the Scarlets.

For Dragons:
Tries: I Jones, Prydie
Con: Prydie 2

Yesterday (Friday the 24th) concluded our third Summer Orientation And Registration (SOAR) session. We had another hundred or so students and their families on campus to learn more about how McMurry works and to set their course schedules for the fall. I got to peak in on registration numbers along the way and noted that we continued to add more students into our first BIMS courses. We are finding about one in ten incoming McMurry freshmen has an interest in BIMS. That makes BIMS one of the most popular and fastest growing majors here.
Some interesting observations so far:
- The number of students in freshman-level science courses overall is high. We have 198 registered for first year and general education Biology/BIMS courses, 51 in CS, 88 in Chemistry, 28 in Geosciences, 254 in Math and 51 in Physics. As these are mostly four-hour lab courses, this represents a significant chunk of the tuition dollars coming from science sources.
- There appear to be about three new BIMS majors for every Biology major, based on the numbers of freshmen in freshman-level courses for these majors. BIMS courses are running around 90% freshmen, while the other biology courses for majors are running about 50% freshmen.
- Enrollment in BIMS 1300 is 50% higher than it was last year. Again, it looks like the Biomedical Science major is catching on!
- There are 31 enrolled in the PREP 1105 seminar. This Pre-Professional preparation seminar helps those early-decision health professions students to get themselves ready for application and entry into professional schools like dentistry, physical therapy, medicine, and pharmacy.
So, it has been a successful summer for enrolling BIMS majors and science students overall. There is still time and space for others to join us, and we expect that our numbers will grow before the first greetings are spoken by Dr. Benoit on August 24th. We are pleased with what we've seen so far!

The Political Denizens are pleased to present our first guest essay! In the wake of the 2012 party conventions, public discussions of the potential "candidates" for First Lady — Ann Romney and Michelle Obama — has featured their functions as a humanizing element for their husbands and their rhetorical emphasis on "family" as a warrant for their husbands' values. But there is a strong and emerging scholarly literature on the political and rhetorical importance of first ladies that reveals additional insights on the potential importance of these women for presdients and the presidency.
Dr. Janis Edwards is an Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Alabama. Her research interests include visual displays and gender in political candidates and campaigns. Along with graduate students Brittany Finley, Kyle Fox, Megan Herboth, and Andrew Stone, Janis comments on the rhetorical presentation of Republican presidential candidate spouses and their potential political impact. These insights should come in handy as we observe, compare and contrast the performances of Mrs. Romney and Mrs. Obama in the weeks to come.

Most computer owners probably don't think much about the technical aspects of computer monitors until they are forced to buy one on their own. Maybe the one that came with the computer unexpectedly died. Perhaps the original monitor simply isn't large enough. But regardless of the reason, every potential buyer faces the same technical questions that come with each type of computer monitor.
The first question that a potential buyer should ask themselves is whether they want to buy a traditional CRT monitor, or a more modern LCD monitor. Both have their set of pros and cons.
LCD monitors are quickly becoming the popular choice as prices are gradually coming down into affordable ranges. When compared to CRTs, LCD monitors generally provide a crisper image, take up significantly less desk space, consume far less power, emit far less radiation and are a lot easier on the eyes.
CRTs shouldn't be counted out so quickly, though. While LCDs have dropped significantly in price over the past few years, CRT screens are still generally more affordable. Moreover, because CRT screens have been on the market longer, they often have a better reliability records.
Regardless of the choice, buyers should then take a look at the rear of their computer and find out what kind of monitor plug (interface) the computer has. This is important, because not all monitors use the same plug and cable.
It will be necessary to unplug the monitor (while the computer and monitor are powered off) to determine what the plug on the computer looks like. Most monitor cables have screws on each side of the cable to keep it tight against the computer. These screws need to be unscrewed before the plug will come off the back of the computer. When you're done, carefully put it back the way it was.
There are two primary types of computer monitor interfaces, or ports (plugs on the back of the computer): VGA and DVI. VGA stands for Video Graphics Array, and DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface.
VGA ports, which are far more common in older computers than DVI, are trapezoidal in shape, typically blue, and have 15 pin holes in rows of 3.
While DVI also is trapezoidal in shape, it is wider (longer), not quite as tall as VGA and is typically beige, light tan or off-white. DVI also sports a more complex pin configuration. DVI is a newer technology primarily utilized by LCD screens and other digital displays (like plasma TVs).
Some computers have only one connector, while others have more than one. Many computers (as well as many monitors) have both connectors, so that connections aren't an issue. As DVI provides a better picture, it is suggested that buyers use DVI if the computer and new monitor both support it.
At this point, buyers can begin to look at specific monitors that are compatible with their computer. But the technicalities don't stop here. There's a lot of technical specifications that need to be reviewed with each model, like:
Maximum resolution. Resolution refers to the maximum number of pixels the monitor can fit on the screen at once. Resolution are listed in X by Y format, like 1280x1024 (1,280 pixels wide and 1,024 pixels high). The higher resolution the better.
Take note, however, that just because the monitor will be able to achieve a certain maximum resolution doesn't mean the computer will also be able to do the same. The resultant maximum resolution is the highest resolution that the computer and monitor both support.
Dot pitch (or pixel pitch). An in-depth explanation of dot pitch is outside the scope of this article, but it basically defines the distance between each "dot" or resultant pixel on the screen. However, the lower the dot pitch (measured in decimals like 0.282) the better. A lower dot pitch means a sharper, clearer visual image.
Refresh rate. This measures the frequency in which the monitor redraws the screen. Refresh rate is more of a consideration with CRT monitors, simply due to their nature. A CRT with a refresh rate lower than 85 Hz will cause eye strain, and anything under 75 Hz will cause severe eye strain.
Generally a raise in resolution causes a drop in refresh rate. Hence, a decrease in resolution will allow a higher refresh rate to be selected.
Response time. Measured in milliseconds, response time determines how fast the monitor responds to input from the computer. The lower the response time, the better. Many monitors have response times as low as a few milliseconds.
Contrast ratio. Contrast ratios are very important in the selection of LCD monitors. A higher contrast ratio means the screen is capable of generating a wider range of color tones (consider all the tones of grey between black and white, for example). Generally a higher contrast ratio is preferred.
Viewing angle. Primarily a LCD issue, the viewing angle determines at what angle the monitor the screen is visible. Most LCD screens have a horizontal viewing angle and vertical viewing angle. The wider (higher) the angle, the better.
Image brightness. The higher the rating, the better. Image brightness is primarily associated with LCD monitors.

Posted on 06/19/2013 10:18:22 AM PDT by Nachum
A day before the first set of school closings was set to begin, Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis had some harsh words about how the Chicago Public Schools are funded and managed, blaming much of the districts problems on racism. WBBM Newsradios Nancy Harty reports, at a luncheon on education reform, Lewis told members of the City Club that Chicago is the most segregated city in America. WBBM Newsradios Nancy Harty reports, at a luncheon on education reform, Lewis told members of the City Club that Chicago is the most segregated city in America.
(Excerpt) Read more at chicago.cbslocal.com ...
Maybe it would help Ms Lewis case if she'd miss a meal every now and then.
Actually MLK said that of liberal Chicago about 1963. It's not new.
She can take her "race card" and shove it up her fat a$$.
Not possible. Democrats have ruled that city since time immemorial.
I'm really curious to know if she's related to Bertha Lewis of ACORN fame.
Yeah, cause dey be no rich black folk in chitown?
Perhaps the turkey vultures on the planet Xenon are to blame...
Since Lewis isn't using her brain, perhaps she could rent it out to someone who might actually use it.
After teaching in Jackson, MS (in an exclusively black school), the white teachers who had been there for 30 years were chased off in order to put novices from Jackson State U in because the superintendent's brother was dean of the JSU Education (teacher training) Department. Then they wondered why student achievement plummeted.
But when it came to who was really responsible - white people.
I don't even want to know what her rationale is on that.
I have heard enough of their idiocy.
When will this Liberal wet dream end?
Maybe her constituents need to get off their lazy fat asses and go to work to ease the tax burden on those that support their sorry asses. Screw the race card, I 'm calling it like I see it.
It's open season on whites.
White people are evil, and rich white people are the source of all ills.
A good number of whites are so self loathing, that it's become socially acceptable to attack whites for being white.
"Chicago is the most segregated city in America."
A friend's brother got a job in Chicago. He arrived on Saturday. While in Chicago traffic a car full of blacks pulled up beside him. They all pointed guns at him. He turned around and drove home. He called in Monday to say he quit. So, yes, I can see why it's segregated.
Illinois public unions are 100 billion in unfunded liabilities. The rich white people responsible for that are all liberal democrats.
Operating budget
Total: $5.11 billion (FY2012)
Operating expense per pupil:
"Rich White People" is code words for suburbs.
Blaming Whitey has always worked so as to avoid taking responsibility for self-inflicted pathologies.
Not possible. Democrats have ruled that city since time immemorial.
Broken dependent ghetto dwellers are the most reliable voters for democrats. They ain't never going to fix a problem that works that well for them...
In a healthier social climate Ms. Lewis & the "Blame Game" would be only a sorry joke.
William Flax
Just this weekend I heard my MIL say..."the problem with this country is all the rich people". I am still in shock by that comment. I shouldn't be, she is a huge lefty from Chicago.
IOW, they are running out of other peoples' money.......fast................
The reason it's so segregated is because the majority of the black people there aren't exactly the best about taking care of their property. People who take good care of their homes dont want to live in a trashy part of town. A lot of them don't have their priorities in whack and old rather party than do what they're supposed to and it shows. Why should "rich white people" have to pay more so they can have better schools anyway. They're not rich Jaba the Black Hut, they just have their priorities straight.
That a$$ is big enough to fit ALLLLLLL the race cards.
Please reassure us that this really is not Ms. Lewis?

And if a President of a Chicago organization blamed "poor black people" for the crime problem there, it would be a national news uproar for days. Plus demands for their resignation, forced apologies, forced "sensitivity training", forced "charity donations", etc. While this gets the usual crickets, except for here and on social media.
> That a$$ is big enough to fit ALLLLLLL the race cards.
Almost spit up my coffee on that one...LOL
Too many people (Democrats) making too much money pimping this racial hatred now to really make an impact against it.
They have to keep going, keep ratcheting up the hate to keep the revenue flowing, and their sheep interested.
We lost control of the language 30 years ago, and now we pay the price for that.
I agree with her except the problem is they keep donating to NObama and other dims instead of rising up to protest high taxes and wasteful spending. She is half-right.
"Blaming Whitey has always worked so as to avoid taking responsibility for self-inflicted pathologies."
You cannot address the real problems in today's black inner-city because you would be called a "Racist!!!!" by the people making tons of money pimping racism and poverty for profit.
They don't feed him well in them there rich, white folk supported schools.
She has more chins than a Chinese phone book.
Maybe if Lewis eats a less, there will be enough money for the indoctrination system.
It's NEVER their fault.
No wonder many are permanently settled at the bottom of the socio-economic barrel.
I would blame first the parents who don't invest enough of their time in their children and their education, secondly, the teachers, many of whom are among the most incompetent products turned out by universities today, and finally the education system itself with its perverse rules, incentives, agendas and curricula.
Good Lord! How much does this thing weigh?
Can't think of a better EXCUSE for PERSONAL INEPTITUDE
If only the rich white racists wouldn't move away,
and stayed and let their families be victimized by violent minorities,
and let the corrupt gov't officials fleece them in property taxes and income taxes,
then all the minority kids would do better in school.
As I said: Parents, Teachers, and Government. They make or break the system. If one is good, it can often drag the other two along. If all three stink on ice, the whole thing is doomed.
Of course, the government can often help most by butting out...
Step 1. Great public schools with rich white people in charge.
Step 2. Rich white people told, "we don't desire your opinions on how to run a school". Leftists take over.
Step 3. School goes to hell and rich white people opt out. Sending their kids to private school or homeschooling.
Step 4. Leftists insist that schools lack proper funds for succes and start a death spiral of increasing costs and decreasing results.
Step 5. Leftists blame failures on rich white people for abandoning the system, and no longer caring.
What do you feed something like that?
Why do idiots like this always assume "Latinos" want to be lumped in with her ilk?
I have to ask . . . does she have her own zip code?
anything and everyting it wants . . .

News release
12th January 2010
Avanquest Software Publishing, a leading developer and publisher of business and consumer software for the global PC market, has announced the release of Driver Genius 9, the latest version of its professional driver management software. Now Windows® 7 compatible and featuring a new Driver Download Manager for faster and more reliable downloads, the software automatically backs up, updates and locates new drivers to help ensure a PC is kept in perfect working order.
Combating the often undetected yet costly problems of system inefficiency,
Driver Genius 9 acts as a defence against system freezing and unexpected 'shut down'. By linking via LiveUpdate to a database of over 30,000 drivers, the software provides download alerts if a new hardware driver is available to save users the time consuming and tedious task of manually searching through companies' websites one-at-a-time. It then automatically checks the server connection speed and chooses the quickest server to download the latest driver.
Driver Genius 9 provides detailed information such as the driver's digital signature, release date and benefit of installation, keeping users fully informed and in control. The software removes invalid and redundant drivers and backs up necessary programs in case of a system crash. A new Driver Install Wizard simplifies the whole installation process and users can also clone their drivers to an EXE auto-installer to make reinstallation on other computers quick and simple.
The latest instalment of the software ensures users benefit from optimum performance over a range of devices as it caters for all PC connected hardware including monitors, mice and keyboards as well as the latest gadgets such as digital cameras and mobile phones. An improved user interface also makes it easier and more convenient for users to manage their drivers, while backup files are named with date and time making it easy to revert back to previous versions if needed.
The software supports Multi-Thread downloads, allowing multiple drivers to be downloaded simultaneously. A 'diagnose your system tool' identifies and fixes problems, taking the pain out of driver management. Users can also unlock hidden options in the NVIDIA display driver control panel including over clocking settings, fan control, stereo control, OpenGL 2.0 support and AGP settings.
Key features of Driver Genius 9 include:

Plenty of NHL fans would like to exchange a terse word or two with Commissioner Gary Bettman about the ongoing lockout.
But one die-hard actually made sure Bettman heard his voice Wednesday after the league and the NHLPA met yet again in New York.
Jaymes Hall, a 41-year-old Philadelphia Flyers fan from Lancaster, Pa., questioned Bettman and NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr during their separate media availability sessions. Hall was initially rebuffed by Bettman, but the Commissioner met with the fan afterward to discuss possible lockout remedies.
The New York Daily News captured the exchange:
HALL: "Put the money (in dispute) aside so nobody touches it and let the people get back to playing hockey. Eventually that pot's going to build. But the guy who makes money selling parking spots – let him get back to making a living."
BETTMAN: "The impact that this is having on everybody associated with the league is not lost on us. Believe me. But the fact of the matter is, when you're dealing with a union and they're really not trying to negotiate any deal that you can live with for the long-term health of this game, there isn't much else you can do. And we're hoping that with the passage of time, the players' association will come to realize that what we have proposed is more than fair. And the fact that we're keeping this proposal on the table, when it was contingent upon an 82-game schedule, should be evidence of our desire to get this done the right way."
Bettman and Hall then thanked each other and went their separate ways. How many fan confrontations end that way?

We are not just material beings, but spiritual persons with a need for meaning, purpose, and fulfillment that transcends the visible confines of this world. This longing for transcendence is a longing for truth, goodness, and beauty. Truth, goodness, and beauty are called the transcendentals of being, because they are aspects of being. Everything in existence has these transcendentals to some extent. God, of course, as the source of all truth, goodness, and beauty, has these transcendentals to an infinite degree. Oftentimes, He draws us to Himself primarily through one of these transcendentals. St. Augustine, who was drawn to beauty in all its creaturely forms, found the ultimate beauty he was seeking in God, his creator, the beauty "ever ancient, ever new."―Sister Gabriella Yi, O.P.

Skip to comments.Could Romney be testing Gingrich as a possible VP candidate via Meet the Press and Vegas with Trump?
Posted on 05/26/2012 9:41:57 AM PDT by mitchell001
Sunday, Newt Gingrich will be on Meet the Press as a Romney surrogate. Tuesday, Newt will be campaigning with Mitt Romney and Donald Trump in Las Vegas. Could Romney be testing the Newt for VP waters? Nobody, gets TV news ratings like Gingrich. Nobody can be a campaign pitbull like Gingrich. Newt can sing many songs on TV news. The other GOP VP candidates are milk toast next to Newt. Is it possible?
This would make me VERY happy!
newt should definitely be considered and this can only help.
Sounds wonderful!
Interesting idea. Think it would fire up some part of the base, but the media would go 24/7 on Gingrich negative stories. OTOH Gingrich can be effective...when he stays on message.
Would be Bush's Cheney. Excellent!!
Nah, I don't think so.
Newt loves being on TV getting ideas out. He WANTS this role of being a Romney surrogate, and he is going to do a great job at it. I think Romney has made a good choice in accepting Gingrich's help.
The VP nominee is much more likely to be a safe pick like Rubio, Portman, etc. A real surprise might be someone like Haley, Martinez or Jindal.
God must be so disgusted. First, a devil worshipper as the Republican candidate, then an adulterer for VP. Sick
Well it would effectively euthanize any career Newt plans on having in politics.
I like Newt's ideology. A lot.
His personal life is a shambles.
The negatives are ancient history because of all the personal and spiritual changes Newt has made, leaving now a very tough case for negatives to make.
There are the small group of the sinless, of course, who like to role Newt's past personal misfortunes around in their fingers, but that says much more about them than anything of his historic accomplishment for the Republican Party, for which he crawled through glass to turn around.
As a party we are indebted to Newt for his genius and his toughness, but some prefer to lay stripes forever over periphreal issues.
Moses, Paul & David had pretty shabby resumes too.
God must be so disgusted. First, a devil worshipper as the Republican candidate, then an adulterer for VP.
Uh huh.... Any thoughts about the current White House occupant and his brain-dead gaff machine of a VP?
At the very least, he should use Newt as an attack dog and give him an important post in his administration.
Down in the South, we have a dish called milk toast (often served with creamed tuna, etc).
But I think the word you were looking for was milquetoast?;-)
In the later primaries, Santorum got many more votes than Gingrich, so if Romney's main concern was to reassure conservatives, Santorum would be a better bet. Not that I think there is much chance of Santorum being chosen...there are other candidates who can reassure conservatives plus win independents and help win their own state (Santorum doesn't put his own state firmly in the Republican column).
Newt would be a great wing man! He certainly would be able to debate and counter any statements that Romney made a mess of to reporters, etc.
Chris Christie, too -- but neither should be on the ticket.
The short answer would be...No.
It would sure make the bitter pill of Romney go down easier at the voting booth.
IMHO, either Sarah Palin (if she's willing to do so again) or Jim DeMint would be the best choices for VP, if Mitt, really, wants to excite the conservative voters base, to the best of abilities.
no, but mitt should rent newt as attack dog for 3 months and pay off newt's debt
On the other hand, nobody has such high negatives and unfavorables among the general public as Gingrich. Also, which swing states would Gingrich help deliver? Pennsylvania? I doubt it.
While I'm glad that Gingrich is on the team, I doubt that Romney will pick him for VP. I do think, though, that President Romney will do well to listen to Gingrich, whether he is a formal member of the Cabinet or WH staff or an informal adviser. Out of Gingrich's 15,000 ideas, several hundred of them could prove useful.
I love Gingrich when he's at the top of his game taking on Obama and Obama-lapdogs in the media. But I'm not that positive is worth the bucket of free ammo that putting him on the ticket would hand to the Rats.
I think Romney is testing Trump.
I like Newt and would enjoy seeing him maintain a national presence. But, as VP to Romney, he would be similar to Joe Biden is that he would be out saying anything and everything that comes across his mind, some of which might be inconvenient to things currently on the table.
Have you forgotten about David? An adulterer and a murderer. Yet when David repented, he allowed David and Bathsheba to be in the lineage of Jesus.
Be still my heart, I'm praying this comes true.
A milquetoast is a weak, ineffectual or bland person. The word is derived from the character Caspar Milquetoast from the 1924 comic strip The Timid Soul.
What about John Kasich of Ohio?
No way. There is no possible way that Romney would pick Trump for VP. That would be an extremely stupid move. Trump would alienate and disgust so many people that Romney needs, it would not be funny. I don't think I could hold my nose tightly enough to pull the lever if Trump were on the ticket.
I like Newt but highly doubtful (in my opinion)
Then appoint him head of the EPA or Department of Energy.....the D-Craps would howl
Finally smiled today thinking about a VP debate between Biden and Newt.
Palin's debate with Biden was pretty good.
Biden's only hope in a debate vs. Newt would be outright plagerism.
Oh wait, that is about the only thing where Slow Joe is a proven expert.
From what I've seen of Kasich (which admittedly is limited), I am impressed. He seems to be a solid conservative, a competent governor, and he presents himself well on television. And Ohio is one of the most important swing states to win.
Not a chance.
Romney would never take on his baggage and his propensity for speaking too bluntly.
About the only things that he in turn would reinforce about Romney is that they are white, male, senior-citizen technocrats with expensive tastes.
"Tell him what he gets, Don Pardo!"
Biden and plagiarism? Where have I heard that before?
Exactly, Gingrich and Christie types both have their constituencies that they can speak to persuasively, but either would be an anchor on an already marginal ticket.
Allen West if he's smart
/ less evil fraudulent logic
Newt would be good. The positive? Best debater in the business. The negative? His personal life could be used against him during the campaign. Maybe.
Outside of Marco Rubio, Jim DeMint would be my next choice. A solid conservative.
Finally, some exciting news!
Would enough conservative voters accept John Kasich as VP, and would Ohio be more than willing to let go their present governor, so that he would become Mitt's VP?
I think the freshman West (currently running in a different district) needs to get a little better established in Congress first. If Romney were to pick anyone from the House, I would think it would be Ryan.
The Vice Presidency is a constitutional office quite independent legally of the president who has no power to fire him. The power of the Vice President, apart from his constitutional power to break a tie in the Senate, comes from the expectation that he might be President. This can arise because the Vice President succeeds the President through death or resignation or by way of election in his own right.
Therefore there is no way apart from moral persuasion that a strong personality in the office of Vice President can be kept from going off the reservation if that is his bent. Gingrich, if nothing else, is a strong personality.
Gingrich is too old to run for President after eight years and so the position should go to a younger man like a Marco Rubio. We as conservatives are fortunate to be confronted with an opportunity gifted to us by Obama who has overreached because of his own narcissism. We are, however, challenged by a demographic drift which threatens to engulf conservatism and wash it into the backwaters of history.
In other words, if we lose this election we may never get another chance because demographics will have sealed the fate of conservatism.
The Hispanic vote is becoming more crucial every year and the headlines this week tell us that more babies of color are born than Caucasian babies which is ominous because mothers of color let their babies grow up to be Democrats. We need a good 12 to 16 years of Republican rule (which I can only pray equates to conservative rule) to shape the culture of the country so that we can expect Hispanic babies as well as Asian babies to vote conservative. We cannot afford to give the country back to the Marxists and hope to prevail against the demographic tsunami about to overwhelm us.
The upside of the Gingrich appointment is that he could develop a relationship with Romney akin to the relationship between Cheney and Bush in which the President entrusted Cheney with vast powers and responsibilities for the security of the homeland. Cheney did a magnificent job. He offered advice on all matters domestic as well and the country was the richer for it. Gingrich could fulfill such a role. But he does not have to be a Vice President to do so.
Gingrich can effectively campaign for Romney even though he would not be on the ticket because of the force of Gingrich's personality. It were felt that he needed to be given a sanctioned role to play, Gingrich could be bruited as the administration's point man on energy, for example. Finally, Gingrich brings no state into play. Georgia is already in the bag and he does not have any known coattails in Virginia where he currently lives. Gingrich might have broad appeal nationally but it is not clear that his appeal exceeds his liabilities. I am sure Romney's internal polls inform him well on that subject.
It is my feeling that this election will break later for Romney in a big way but a prudent course is to campaign as though the election will be decided in Ohio. Romney must carry Virginia as well. Accordingly, Romney needs to nail down Ohio and Virginia and that suggests Portman and McConnell. It is even conceivable that Romney's internal polls tell him that Santorum could deliver Pennsylvania, although I am skeptical even as I am willing to be educated.
I am of the view that Marco Rubio offers the most upside, virtually guaranteeing Florida-a must win state-and hopefully drawing well in the Southwest among Hispanics even though he is Cuban and not Mexican. There is a very clear path to victory for Romney if he can tie up Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and perhaps even New Mexico. Rubio would also draw in many places along the East Coast with growing Hispanic minorities such as, believe it or not, New Jersey.
A final word about Newt Gingrich. I have posted long (no surprise to anyone there) and hard that it is not enough just to win the next election, it is vital that the new administration recognize that the Republic must be pulled back from the brink of economic and political destruction.
Short-term, the economic threat is obvious with the whole world moving toward recession. Our debt is overwhelming and the debt clock is ticking ominously. If we do not deal with the debt soon we will be overwhelmed and representative democracy will be under the gravest threat.
Longer-term, we have a cultural malaise in this country cresting in a demographic wave which is swelling our economic and political malaise even as it affects the whole culture. We cannot educate our kids who cannot compete with well-educated, highly motivated Asian kids. We are loaded with debt. At least 50% of the country is ignorant and self indulgent.
We are engaged in a world wide generational, existential war with aggressive Islam which is quite prepared to use weapons of mass destruction or indulge in terror, or both. Neo-communism is linking up with Islam to do us great mischief. Europe is threatened with the destruction of its currency if not its political structure. China is slipping into recession caused by the world's largest real estate bubble. There is no glimmer of hope anywhere on the economic horizon but only storm clouds, the storm clouds of a perfect storm.
These are the concerns that impelled me early on to call for the election of Newt Gingrich despite his baggage. If Romney has the humility to use his undoubted intelligence, he will find a role for Gingrich. If he is what so many of us fear, a Rino, he will either marginalize Gingrich or seek to use him as a beard to disguise Romney's own liberalism but not really collaborate with him.
We need someone like Gingrich to move the country toward a great vision of renewal. I regret deeply that he was not nominated. I hope he is patriot enough to give Romney every assistance and I hope Romney is humble enough to accept it.
Yeah, boy, Newt could really help deliver Georgia for the GOP...
Not to mention all those other state he won.
Such a choice would be made of SHEER WIN.

There's a lot mystery regarding this fight, so I just thought I'd share my thoughts on this fight.
A DETAILED flashback is required to know how this fight went down. I think a movie on this these two clans would BE PREFECT.
There are few things I noticed about this battle and the pages leading up to the page we saw (Madara x Fox) vs Hashirama.
The thing I wondered about this fight is why did Madara even summon/call the fox to the fight?
Based from the flashback pages it was made as through Madara and Hashirama were near equals and they have fought many times. So if in fact they were rivals in terms of power that would explain why they survived the many encounters they fought.
So I reenacted how I think the fight went down.
Spoiler!Madara as a last ditch effort fought Hashirama with the EMS for the first time.
He somehow was losing the fight most likely due to Hashirama's stamina as he inherited his body's perfection from the So6P AND his VAST knowledge of techniques(The Third hokage actually talks a little about this at very start of the manga).
So to try and win the fight even after the element of surprise (EMS) failed he called/summoned the Fox. Now I believe at this point it was a fight between Hashirama and the nine tails as Madara surely would have been exhausted by then.
For those who don't understand how I came up the conclusion how Hashirama hasn't seen the EMS before this fight was from the order of events shown in the manga.
1) It was first shown Madara and Hashirama have fought many times.
2) Madara mentions the fights with Hashirama got him famous and the Uchiha clan's enemies grew from the encounters with the Senju clan. So Madara took he's brothers eyes to obtain EMS for the clan's protection or for himself, either case it doesn't matter.
3) The Senju clan made a truce, and the Uchiha accepted.
4) Hashirama becomes the the First hokage.
5) Madara revolts and challenges(THE FIGHT) Hashirama for the leaf village position.
He can't have had EMS before he took his brother's eyes(2).
Although they could have fought before the truce(3) and after he took his brother's eyes(2).
Also when Madara stated Hashirama gave away the bujj as peace offerings to the other villages he was shown to be wearing the Hokage gown. So this only could have happened after he became hokage(4) and either BEFORE OR AFTER the fight with Madara(5). ONLY A DETAILED FLASHBACK/GAIDEN/MOVIE CAN TELL US FOR SURE when these events actually happened.
But the most amazing thing you could say from this fight is HOW THE **** did Hashirama subdue the FOX. Now I know a lot of you are gonna say "but Hashirama could control the bujj" but Madara already was manipulating the Fox to do his biding so Hashirama would have had to attack Madara, stop him then suppress the Fox. The reason I think Hashirama would had to deal with Madara first then the fox is because of this. When the fox was under the hypnotic control from the sharingan, I was assuming Hashirama would suppress the fox's chakra like how yamato did for Naruto in 4 tail mode. But this would not stop the mind control from the sharingan would it. From the recent chapter(490) we found out the fox has his power split up into two, mind and chakra. The sharingan would control the mind portion and therefore order the fox around, while Hashirama would only suppress the chakra part. So for Hashirama to get rid of the fox completely from the battlefield he would have had to stop the mind control from Madara by attacking Madara, then he be able to get rid of the fox from the battlefield.
So to sum up the fight, it when like this;
1) Madara (EMS) vs Hashirama ... Madara then says oh shit hes still wining.
2) Madara controls Fox vs Hashirama .... Hashirama SOMEHOW subdues the fox.
3) Hashirama knocks out Madara to stop the link between Madara and the fox.
4) Hashirama suppresses the Fox, Fox leaves.
5) Hashirama somehow with his bullshit stamina lands the final blows to an already exhausted Madara.
6) Hashirama believes Madara is dead and SOMEHOW more bullshit occurs where Madara survived the WHOLE ORDEAL.
Buuj theory
Spoiler!The other theory popping around this fight is that Hashirama used bujjs himself and would certainly complain lot. But I'm not really convinced Hashirama used any at all. When Madara was talking about this fight(to Sasuke) and about Hashirama's abilities he would have mentioned he used multiple tailed beasts against him. There's no reason for Madara to hold back on the truth like that, it would only make him look A LOT weaker compared to Hashirama. The whole reason he wanted to go against the leaf village was to prove to the world the Uchiha were equals with the Senju(As Hashirama was chosen to be Hokage) and by lying like that it would stand against his principles and beliefs back then. Madara also said Hashirama was the only person he admired, so by saying Hashirama simply used multiple bujjs to defeat him would take away from Hashirama's stature as a shinobi. So basically he could have just have easily said Hashirama used multiple tailed beasts and no one would known the truth anyway. But he didn't.
New Ideas about the first hokages powers and fight run down
Spoiler!I just thought I mention new speculations mentioned by other guys/myself in this thread, saves you from reading every page of the latest ideas of how this fight went down courtesy of the events shown of how the forth hokage managed to stop the nine tail fox.
We found out recently Mito sealed the fox within the herself, how or when is unknown. Maybe this happened during the fight similar to the forth hokage's encounter. This at the very least takes the fox out the equation leaving the first hokage and Madara to duke it out. I highly doubt Mito wouldn't have been then able to fight using the fox then and there after the sealing. Why you ask? Look how long it took Naruto to control the fox, to think Mito would have been able to do it then and there then start fighting seems way to far fetched. I guess a flashback like the one we got for forth hokage would tell us for sure. Which by the way I think will come because it would add to the story as we would find out how Madara survived, if tobi really ends up being Madara that is. http://www.narutobase.net/manga/Naruto/500/5
Another possibility is the first hokage completely halted/paralyzed the fox similar to that seal Yamato placed on Naruto as he entered 6-tail form but obviously a lot more powerful and disabled the fox from intervening with the battle and then it was sealed within Mito.
Once the fox is out of the picture this still leaves another challenge, Madara. Originally we thought time-space techs were only used by the Forth hokage, then saw Tobi(most advanced one to date) use them and now we know that the 2nd hokage can use similar time-space techniques as well. So this begs the question, do you think the first hokage knew space-time techs as well?
There's a element of the first hokage were not looking into too much, you guys recall the Scroll of seals, written by the first hokage(the one Naruto stole in the first chapter) well I notice there's a scroll with striking resemblance in the picture where Madara and the fox are faced off against the first, could it be the scroll of seals?
Maybe on this scroll there's time-space techs or for that matter other ridiculous techniques that make the shraingan techniques look average?
I think little by little Kishi is showing us how powerful the Senju clan were back in there Glory days.
Madara statement regarding his purpose of fighting the first hokage at the valley of the end and its implications.
Spoiler!Madara stated he fought the first hokage to obtain his DNA, I wanted to add this here in this thread because I think there's more going on here as the implications of this statement start making us question Madara and the Rinnegan.
At want point do you think Madara knew if he took harahima's dna he would be closer to becoming the next So6P?
Feel free to discuss your viewpoint about this matter, but here's my take on all this.
We don't know how long after Madara left konoha did the fight with Harashima actually took place. All we know is that Madara left konoha 80+ years ago. I believe he learned about all this after he somehow survived the fight with Harasihma and here's why.
Judging from what Madara said during the kage summit the tablet left behind by So6p it tells you everything that happened between the Jubbi and the so6p, how the tailed beasts were created and both the Senju and Uchiha are ancestors of the so6p etc.... Which needs the Rinnegan to read the whole tablet to get the whole story.
So basically this means well at least to me if Madara's statement is correct, Madara acquired the Rinnegan sometime between he left Konoha and the fight with Harasihma to read the tablet and therefore understand if he could take Harashima's DNA and combine it with his own Uchiha DNA he would be the next so6p(And must survive by the way).
In my opinion Madara was simply an avenger during that time of this life and just wanted kill Harashima for dethroning him, even from his own clan. Madara knew Harashima was very strong from their past engagements and Harasihma's reputation from the rest of the shinobi world and more less even, judging by how Madara depicted the times of constant battle before the village system started. But what really confuses me about this if Madara just want the DNA and didn't care if he was defeated why would he bring the fox into this battle? This another reason why I highly doubt Madara's intentions of this fight of only being the DNA. I believe Madara thought he could get the upper hand on him by bringing in the fox into the battle which he knew he could do because of what he could read from the tablet with his MS/EMS and hoped that he could kill Harasihma.
But he lost, which further makes me believe Madara didn't know Harashima could suppress the bujj and therefore the senju and the uchiha were ancestors of the so6p. He lost and SOMEHOW SURVIVED and simply got lucky he found some remains of Harashima on the epic battlefield and sometime later via SOMEHOW getting his hands on the Rinnegan formulated a plan over the next 80 years to be ruler of the world with the Rinnegan and Harashima's DNA. Which looks like now he is well on his way in doing, only the Juubi is left for him to revive.
That's how I see things at the moment, and the reason why is I don't believe madara's words to konan completely word for word. Because the connection with madara and the rinnegan is a COMPLETE MYSTERY. Originally the Muzikage at the kage summit speculated madara got nagato to read the tablet but this too is now challenged. We don't know what happened and that's FACT. Either way you look at it, someone is lying about what happened in the past. At the moment I believe madara isn't being truthful, which by the way this isn't the first time eg..forth hokage fight and what he told Sasuke of what happened in that fight.
Here are other scary notions of what Hashirama had to deal with, the Fox had hes FULL powers this was before the Forth sealed half of the Fox's chakra and we all know what 6-8 tails can do from Naruto. Also as stated by Itachi when you gain EMS you get a NEW technique. And based from the sharingan techniques we've seen already it's most likely another bullshit technique. Pretty astounding stuff.
Again please remember this is just SPECULATION. Thanks to the recent information about the fox I was able to think up of decent reenactment of the fight.
Amongst all the mystery lying around this fight one thing has been answered about the degree of control the first hokage has over the tailed beasts. The first hokage could not control the fox's mind to order it around like Madara does via the sharingan. He could only suppress it's chakra and therefore he needed it in a person to control it completely to help him and konoha in the future (Like what Naruto does for Konoha now), otherwise why would he need Mito to seal the fox in within herself if he could control the fox like Madara.

Jennifer Lopez's stylists talk about working with the star Coty Prestige
Two of Hollywood top stylists are responsible for the star's standout looks.
Some stars moan about the stresses of dressing up for various red carpets, insisting that they'd rather be home in sweats.
Not Jennifer Lopez, one of Hollywood's perennial awards show standouts. Simply put, this lady knows how to rock a gown, with the assistance of stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, who have worked with Lopez for three years.
"We started with her right before American Idol. It was the coming out of Jennifer Lopez," says Zangardi.
Now, with the Grammys approaching on Sunday, they're going full throttle for their star client, who's dating Casper Smart and is back in the spotlight. "We talked to her last week when she landed from Japan. She called us so we had enough time to wrap our heads around it and go for it," says Haenn.
Because the Grammys are about music, she and Zangardi have more freedom than, say, with the Oscars. "It's going to be cooler and edgier than something she'd wear to the Globes. It can go a little bit more rock and roll," says Haenn.
Some celebrities are totally hands-off. Not Lopez, who also runs a production company (ABC Family picked up her drama The Fosters) and fragrance biz, with her 19th scent, Forever Glowing, now available at Kohl's.
"It would surprise people how involved she is in the entire process," says Haenn, who adds that Lopez really does wear her fragrances. "She enjoys it. It's not just part of the job. It's a true passion of hers. She's always looking to reinvent herself and push herself and push us. Can we outdo the last one?"
Of course, this time around, guidelines were issued to stop stars from revealing too much skin, as Lopez very famously did with her barely there Versace dress, which she wore back in 2000.
So on Sunday, here's what happens.
"By then, we have called every designer, we have gone shopping, we have called in samples. We do a fitting and pick out different options. On the day of, we have 3-4 looks narrowed down. She'll do her hair and makeup around those clothes. We're always waiting on the edge of our seats. We don't know what she'll wear until she's ready to walk out the door," says Zangardi.

Spending levels appropriated by Congress, so far, for fiscal 2013 fail to live within the limits set by last year's Budget Control Act (BCA), the Office of Management and Budget said in a report issued Monday.
If Congress fails to adhere to the annual limits, OMB is required to enact automatic cuts to bring them back into balance, Acting OMB Director Jeffrey Zients wrote in a letter to President Barack Obama that preceded OMB's report.
The BCA, which ended the standoff between Congress and the White House over raising the government's borrowing limit, contained two budget-cutting methods, known as sequestration. More well-known are the $1.2 trillion over 10 years in automatic, across-the-board cuts set to take effect in January — a result of Congress' failure to strike a deficit-reduction deal.
Both House, Senate exceed caps

However, the law also capped the amount of discretionary spending Congress could appropriate through the annual spending bills that set agency funding. The law capped discretionary spending in fiscal 2012 at $1.043 trillion and slightly higher in 2013. Between 2014 and 2021, the caps will expand only about 2 percent each year.
Based on OMB's analysis of the 12 appropriations bills, which are in various stages of completion, both the House and the Senate have overshot the caps in different categories, OMB said.
The BCA's budget caps delineate between security and nonsecurity discretionary spending. For fiscal 2013, the law caps security spending at $686 billion and nonsecurity spending at $361 billion.
OMB estimates that House appropriations exceed the caps for the security category by about $6.6 billion and that Senate appropriations exceed the caps for nonsecurity spending by $400 million.
House nonsecurity spending and Senate security spending both fall within BCA limits, OMB reported.
OMB to work with Congress on stopgap measure
The report notes that no 2013 appropriations bills have yet been enacted into law. In fact, shortly before leaving for the August recess, Congressional leaders announced a deal to forgo the traditional appropriations process in favor of a stopgap spending bill that would extend funding at 2012 levels into the first six months of fiscal 2013. That bill has not yet been written. Zients said OMB would work with lawmakers "to ensure that an unintended discretionary sequester does not occur as a result of the continuing resolution."

Desktops and Notebooks: Microsoft's Hot White Devices: Hardly Plain Vanilla
ASUS Eee Slate EP121
Equipped with an Intel Core i5-470UM processor and Windows 7 Home Premium, the 12.1-inch Eee Slate delivers the processing power and business productivity tools of a notebook PC in a portable tablet form factor. Confidential data is protected with the onboard Trusted Platform Module and Computrace LoJack for Laptops (subscription required). A bundled Bluetooth keyboard, integrated Wacom Digitizer stylus and multi-touch screen protected by durable Corning Gorilla Glass provide users with multiple data input options.
It used to be that whatever was the "new" black was the "in" thing. Yet Microsoft is empowering a host of new machines and devices, all in white, that practically spell c-o-o-l. Microsoft has been knocked for its lack of cool. Indeed, many observers believe it was OEMs' lack of imagination in design that prompted Microsoft to develop its own tablet for the upcoming Windows 8 operating system. At the risk of upsetting its OEM partners, Microsoft unveiled its Surface tablet to positive reviews in June at an event in Hollywood. It used to be that it was unfashionable to show your summer whites after Labor Day, but Microsoft is pushing out a series of hot, white items that will look good now and well after Labor Daywhich happens to fall on Sept. 3 this year. Yet Microsoft will hardly be done at summer's end, what with Windows 8 and the Surface coming in October. Still, it's often the white gadgets that get the attentionlike consumers' love affair with the white iPhone. Microsoft and its partners hope to capitalize on some of that enthusiasm. Here's a slide show of Windows PCs, Windows Phones, Xbox and peripherals that aren't ashamed to show their brilliant white in any season. From the latest Sony Vaio E and the Samsung Focus to the classic white Xbox 360, these devices will look just as fashionable under the Christmas tree as they do on a sunny summer day.
