Skip to comments.Rubio campaigns with Romney, raising VP speculation
Posted on 04/23/2012 3:31:23 PM PDT by Flotsam_Jetsome
Romney is running neck-and-neck with Obama in national opinion polls but needs to make up ground in several battleground states where the election is likely to be decided.
The former Massachusetts governor appeared side-by-side with Rubio at a news conference where Romney did most of the talking. They then held a town hall event and took turns answering questions from supporters.
Romney brushed off two questions from reporters whether Rubio was on his list for potential vice presidential picks, a process that will play out over the next four months ahead of the Republicans' August convention in Florida to nominate their candidate to face Obama in the November 6 election.
"The process for selecting a vice presidential running mate is just beginning," Romney said.
He noted that longtime aide Beth Myers has begun to put together a system for checking out possible nominees and reviewing tax returns and other background material, "but we really haven't had a discussion yet of putting together a list or evaluating various candidates."
Rubio, 40, has lately sounded coy about the idea of a vice presidential nod after ruling it out repeatedly in the past. Conservatives speak warmly of the idea and Romney advisers say he will be considered, but some Republicans voice worries he may simply be too young for the job.
Rubio, asked whether he had the experience necessary to serve as vice president, would not comment. "I'm not talking about that process any more," he said.
Obama leads Romney among Hispanic voters by a whopping 40 percentage points, putting pressure on Romney to take steps to reduce that margin and make himself more competitive in states where the Latino vote could be decisive, like New Mexico and Nevada.

Rubio is gonna get the nod. At this point, I just can't imagine anyone else.
Keep your eye on Gov Susana Martinez of New Mexico
Bad thing. Rubio is a light weight and a f_up..
Not NBC and therefore unqualified.
Wish parents had become citizens before his birth. He's terrific.
Didn't Gov Martinez say that she's not interested?
why keep an eye on martinez, to get the mexican vote.
Well, you're in luck! Rubio is qualified. That "2 citizen parents" stuff is nothing but made-up birther nonsense.
If anyone thinks Rubio will add some conservatism to the ticket, they are mistaken.
78% of jewish people voted for the communist in 2008, maybe the repubs should get babs streisand for VP.
they always say that, just like Hildebeast saying that she would not leave her seat in NY to run for President and 0buma saying in 2004 he was not ready to be *resident.
Kinda like hitching a ride with a suicide bomber.
Sohhh anyone born on US soil, having resided in the US for 14 years and reached the age of 35 may become President?
Yes. Per the Constitution.
How many failed lawsuits will it take before birthers get it through their thick heads that nobody is buying the crap they're selling?
Very VERY bad thing. Rubio rings nothing to the table except looking like a token. While it isn't the central issue, there is no possible way to win with ZERO Foreign Policy experience from both candidates. It doesn't need to be much, but you gotta have some.
She did, but ya never know. THAT would be a great choice, BUT ... I fear that anyone associated with Romney, after the shellacking he is going to take in the General, is going to ruin their future political career on a National level. I'd rather see her sit back and jump in after 2012.
This is how the RinoCracy intend to put the Obama birther issue to rest
If the repub rino's are talking of rubio for VP to get the mexican vote, what is romney for, to get the mormon vote?
This jerkoff co sponsored with democrats primary seatbelt enforcement legislation in FL which was signed into law by the orange fake sun tan faggot Charlie Crist.
Even Jeb Bush vetoed that nonsense every year he was in office.
FUMR/FUMR Jr.
Hence my question in #1. Could his getting the nod force the issue into the national conversation, or would it be a way for the GOP-E to help make the two-citizen parents requirement go away permanently by establishing (twice-over) precedent?
Some conservatives are crazy about Rubio because the Tea Party uprising picked him, at the behest of the Bushes, to beat the flaming gay guy, Crist, who was running for the Senate.
We did not know Rubio and soon after we committed to hm he denouced Arizona for passing that immigration enforcement State law.
He's an open borders, internationalist, but he is not openly into pushing the Federal and State social engineering of families with homosexuals and their "lifestyles."
absolutely this would be in the national conversation. Ya think birthers were just bumpin' their gums? Rules are rules and patriots donts makes them ups as weze goze alongs.
I might get flamed for this, but I hope someone raises this NBC issue of Rubio to the point of a legal challenge.
But, Rubio added, "I think that the law has potential unintended consequences and it's one of the reasons why I think immigration needs to be a federal issue, not a state one."
More specifically, Rubio said, "Everyone is concerned with the prospect of the 'reasonable suspicion' provisions, where individuals can be pulled over because someone suspects that they may not be legal in this country. I think over time people will grow uncomfortable with that."
On the prospect of suspects showing documentation to police to prove they are legal, Rubio said, "That's not really something that Americans are comfortable with, the notion of a police state."
the parents citizenship doesn't matter?
the rino's are involved in the commie coverup also. They distributed "talking points" to other rino's to respond to birthers and the commies ineligibility. The rino's know that rubio and jindal do not qualify but the "agreement" was if they let the commie alone, the commies will leave the rino's alone.
Yeah, so help me out being a loonatic and all;
What is the difference between:
Natural Born?
Native Born ?
LOL. I met Crist back in '96. I got a similar impression. FWIW, If Romney is the candidate, he will not be hurtin' to pick Alan West dor VP.
I will not prostitute my reasons against Obama's eligibility with a vote for a person I believe is in the same eligibility boat as Obama. Romney and his enablers haven't even convinced me that the Constitution is more important than moneybags. I will find a place to put my vote and it will not be a waste of my personal freedom or conscience.
Nope. Not if you were born on U.S. soil. That's why these cases have gone nowhere outside of the fringe conspiracy circus.
There is not a single influential conservative leader or reputable conservative legal foundation that has supported the birther definition of natural born citizen. For good reason; it's nonsense.
Rubio is eligible.
I thought that the Arizonal law just said that people's residency/citizenship status could be check in the course of a stop for another matter? I don't recall language allowing for pulling people over for "driving while brown" or somesuch.
'Not interested' can be very time and circumstance dependent.
Natural Born?
Native Born ?
Natural born and native born are interchangeable. There is no difference. Naturalized is a legal process involving many steps where a foreigner becomes a United States citizen.
Justice Thomas says, you can be a judge but we're evading the NBC question....
I suspect that anyone can say that a one parent citizenship is also nonsense.
You mean like cool and hot?
They are conditions but used in a certain context they can mean the same thing?
Apparently, it matters not one wit what the citizenship of your parents or if they ever become citizens.
I wonder Drew, would it matter if they were/are a dual citizen?
I mean Barry was/is and even discussed why it wasn't an issue in 2008. Apparently his citizenship expired upon him reaching a certain age, supposedly.
"Kinda like hitching a ride with a suicide bomber."
Here we go hispandering, hispandering, hispandering....
On the prospect of suspects showing documentation to police to prove they are legal, Rubio said, Thats not really something that Americans are comfortable with, the notion of a police state.
But rather than jumping on the Left's race baiting band wagon against the State of Arizona, he should have critized Obama for not protecting the State from the illegal invasion. He betrayed everyone by joining up with the open border, one world internationalists to shout down Arizona.
Rubio is eligible.
Indeed, Rubio is certainly eligible and probably a likely VP selection.
Birther arguments have been rejected everywhere - by every court, by every reputable conservative legal foundations, by virtually all serious/influential conservative leaders, and by near every significant conservative commentator/analyst. Mark Levin is a constitutional scholar and, along with most other radio talk show hosts, has banned birthers from wasting his airtime. There is a reason goofballs like Orly Taitz have to represent the birther cause, and that is because few if any serious people are going to waste time on an obviously silly argument.
I dunno. Some guy told me you have to have to have to parents who were US citizens to be a Natural Born Citizen. He used lots of legal terms and cited court cases, so he must know what he's talking about. He also told me there is no legal obligation to pay income taxes.
Just to expand upon Sudetenland's declaration, here are some "looney-tunes birther" quotations:
My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen, Chertoff replied. That is mine, too, said Leahy.
From the Senate Resolution 511 hearings in the Sen. Judiciary Committee, a resolultion signed by every US Senator in April 2008. The hearings were the Democratic effort to provide cover for McCain's candidacy, since having McCain as a candidate would necessarily silence Republicans, who would face Hillary if Republicans said a word about eligibility. That is why the sponsors of both SR 511 and the prior, Feb 2008, Senate Bill S.2678, Children of Military Families Natural Born Citizen Act were Democrat Obama supporters, S.2678 by McCaskill and Obama, and SR511 by McCaskill, Leahy, Coburn, Obama, Clinton, and Webb (a couple of Republicans added, since they were all complicit). SB.2678 failed to pass. It would have failed judicial review, since Congress cannot interpret the Constitution.
From the WaPo 'Fact-Checker' column by Michael Dobbs in May 2008, Dobbs addressing the Larry Tribe (Obama's Harvard adviser and con. law professor) and Ted Olson letter to the SR 511 McCain 'whitewash committee' - the Senate Judiciary committee:
"They argue that McCain is a natural born citizen because the United States exercised sovereignty over the Panama Canal at the time of his birth on August 29, 1936, he was born on a U.S. military base, and both of his parents were U.S. citizens. The Olsen-Tribe opinion is available here.
From the Author of the 14th Amendment, Congressman John Bingham, in his address to the house prior to voting on the Amendment:
I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen ."
From Chief Justice Morrison Waite whose court was unanimous in establishing common-law as 'held' precedent in Minor v. Happersett, 88 US 162 (1875), needing the only constitution definition of any class of citizen before 1868 (14 Amendment) to prove his assertion that Mrs. Minor, born to citizen parent on our soil, did not gain voting rights from the 14th Amendment's 'equal protections' clause:
"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners."
Important, since so few, including our 'conservative' pundits appear to have read the Constitution, is Waite's "At common-law..." statement. The Constitution explicitly avoids definitions. While he won't openly address it. read Mark Levin's book, 'Liberty and Tyranny' beginning p37. Hamilton describes the propriety of, and necessity for interpreting the Constitution in the language familiar to its authors. Hamilton said "What a metamorphosis would be produced in the code of law if all its ancient phraseology were to be taken in its modern sense." There are dozens, probably hundreds of such statements by framers and justices explaining why there are not definitions in the Constitution, and why it was written assuming that interpretation of terms would come from the common language and common-law of its framers, as Waite explained.
Finally,a citation in fact, from another 'looney birther', one clear not in good graces with his excellency Barack, Chief Justice John Marshall, who was also a founder, and a framer of the Constition. This statement is not repeated by 'loony birthers' often because Waite's restatement of the definition cited by Marshall, and from Vattel, established the common-law as positive law, and the Obots unanimously screech "Dictum," "Dictum!" Justice Marshall's comment is certainly dictum, since in this fascinating citizenship case, the citizenship issue appearing so often in the courts during the post-Revolution division of spoils, inheritance battles, resolving differences between states still being governed by parts of English Common Law. Marshall, with whose Marbury v. Madison decision Barack appears unfamiliar also said, in his contribution to The Venus, 12 US 253, (1814):
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives or indigenes are those born in the country of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.
The Obots argued endlessly about the English translations of 'indegines' used by Marshall, probably due to Marshall's using the origintal French version of Vattel's Law of Nations, then by far the most cited legal reference in American jurisprudence (Grotian Society Papers s, 1972, F.S. Ruddy). But Justice Waite eliminated the confusion in his Minor precedent by making the terms equivalent - "natives or natural born citizens". This is, as Waite pointed out, the "never doubted" common law. But "looney birthers" are simply too mired in the ancient history to realize that to be a happy and prosperous nation it is time to appreciate what Barack told us before he became a candidate for the presidency, that "A doctrine of negative liberties does not allow me to do the things for society that I believe it needs." He wanted a new bill of rights. The legitimate interpretations of the musty old Constitution would now emanate from the Center for American Progress, whose minions scrubbed twenty six Supreme Court decisions of their citations to Minor v. Happersett, and, with Googles help, pointed web queries first to their handywork at justia.com and Cornell.
Rubio has found himself in a web created by crony capitalist Republicans. They believed more in McCain's long experience covering up corruption including his Keating Five experience, covered up like Obama's ineligibility, with the able assistance of the media. Both sides were complicit so they sacrificed a a player, leaving the knight in play. For Obama they sacrificed a seldom used provision of the Constitution, and want to use Rubio to protect them lest a constitutionalist gain power in the executive and put them all in jeapordy. Susanna Martinez is, from what this writer has seen, presidential material. Hispanics are not maleable pawns, though promises to illegals might be real motive behind using Rubio, even if he were eligibile. Amending the Constitution is legitimate; ignoring it is not, and may constitute, using the only term defined in the Constitution itself, treason.
100 million illegals by 2020
Do you seriously believe that the Founders of this nation put something in the Constitution that would allow the son of a British subject to be President of the United States?
If the GOP nominates a candidate who doesn't meet the Minor vs Happersett SCOTUS decision's definition of NBC, I WILL vote 3rd party for the first time in my life.
So how do you feel about anchor babies and those born to undocumented Mexicans here in the US? I suppose we should give amnesty to anyone born here to undocumented Mexicans?
You can't argue common sense with these guys.
We are crazy nutjobs.
BTW, did you know that Natural Born and Native Born mean the same thing?
Analogous to cool and hot meaning the same thing in a certain context.
Yeah...awesome...he wants to implement his brand of amnesty...the GOP Dream Act.
No thanks.

More About Entourage
March 9, 2007 12:00:00 Posted at March 9, 2007 12:00:00
More About Entourage A response to your emails yesterday about Entourage and the new season…but warning: spoiler ahead if you haven't caught up. Confusing as hell which probably explains your messages but it turns out Season 3 is NOT over. NOT over. It was divided into Season 3A and B. Season 3A ends with Vince firing Ari. Season 3B picks up again in April on HBO in the USA and on TMN in Canada. That's right Canadians – we will get it at the same time, unlike how it was with Sex & the City a few years ago. As in ALL NEW EPISODES…make sense? Then, in June, Season 4 picks up right away. Which means MUCH more Entourage for weeks and weeks. Love, love, love. PS. See attached the one and only Johnny Drama in Viking Quest. Kills me.

By MARIE GUYMON JOHNSONHuntington
Huntington City Council is under the impression that stop signs were created as a means of controlling speed. While I think highly of our city officials as individuals and applaud the city's interest in creating a safe atmosphere in our town, I am very much opposed to the method they have chosen of doing it. Traffic planners use a basic rule:speed limit signs (and appropriate enforcement) are used to control speed; traffic lights are used to control access; stop signs are used where there are safety issues.
The other rule of thumb is to always utilize the least restrictive method possible so as to not create impediments to the flow of traffic. The stop signs at random intersections in Huntington are in direct opposition to these basic principles. Furthermore, the idea that the drivers who ignore speed limit signs are going to heed stop signs is ludicrous, so essentially what these signs accomplish is to punish those citizens who try to obey the laws.
City residents who are in agreement that these stop signs are not only a nuisance, but are creating a situation in which drivers simply ignore traffic signs, need to go beyond complaining amongst themselves and contact their city councilpersons to voice their objections. In a recent public hearing, in response to several comments expressing displeasure with the recent increase of stop signs, the mayor's comment was "and there will be more." Our city officials are empowered by the vote of the people whom they represent and it is time for the residents of Huntington to make their voices heard in regards to this situation. Please take the time to contact your city representatives with your feedback at the city hall 687-2436. I appreciate the opportunity to express my opinion.

Thats why I said;- Sarutobi knew about it, so I think that Yondaime just showed him which hand seals he must perform for bringing up the dead demon seal.IF The Dead Demon Seal was written in the " forbidden " scroll, then why didn't Orochimaru knew about it?? ( assuming that Edo Tensei was written inside this scroll,.. don't understand me wrong )
I still think that " that jutsu " is related to the kyuubi and not the dead demon seal. Naruto needs a power for fighting Madara, Sasuke, Simple EMS..

I'm looking for tips on creating a yes environment with 2 different ages. I have a 1 year old and 3.5 year old, and I'm remembering when my daughter was 1 I just got rid of everything she couldn't play with and there didn't have to be a ton of redirection. With an older sister I'm having a hard time doing the same for my son, and we are at the height of his frustration with not being verbal. He wants to play with the crayons but he is in the eating crayons stage, if I put them up where he can't reach them, his sister gets upset because I've taken away her ability to get her toys at will. He is rather tall and can reach the same surfaces as his sister, and if he can't reach, his sister taught him to pull over a step stool to reach. What has worked for others?

up the East Coast. Even though North Carolina was being blanketed by snow and ice all day Sunday, computer-generated forecasts predicted
the storm would miss the cities of the Northeast corridor. On Monday, however, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston all received
significant snowfall. At times, the storm approached blizzard-like force. (Animation by Marit Jentoft-Nilsen, NASA GSFC Visualization

Dean P. Kane MD, FACS
About the Practice
Practice Philosophy
Maryland plastic surgeon Dr. Dean Kane is a leader in his field. His extensive training, board certifications, professional affiliations and years of experience set him apart from most other cosmetic surgeons in Baltimore, Maryland and beyond.Another unique aspect of Dr. Kane's credentials is his firm belief in the value of non-surgical rejuvenation. In fact, he and Lauri Kane have spent a great deal of time and energy to research and test a variety of non-invasive treatments for their patients. They know that some men and women aren't good candidates for plastic surgery, and some are just not yet ready. Not only that, Dr. Kane knows that surgery is not the answer for every condition.
Having worked with the Obagi® System of skin products and found them to be what he calls "the gold standard" in facial rejuvenation, the Baltimore plastic surgeon has been pleased to serve on the faculty board of Obagi® Medical Products for ten years. Dr. Kane is a national instructor for not just Obagi® products, but for BOTOX® Cosmetic, Restylane® and Juvéderm™ as well. And the Center for Cosmetic Surgery & MediSpa has been chosen a premier Restylane® injection facility.
With a wide variety of non-surgical treatments to choose from , Dr. Dean Kane, Lauri Kane and their team of professionally-trained skin care experts can meet just about any need. For some patients, this means adding a chemical peel or laser skin resurfacing to their face lift in Baltimore for total rejuvenation. For others, it means trying one of today's popular injectable fillers to delay surgery a while longer. Some simply need to bring a teenager to Dr. Kane's "Acne Boot Camp" .
Dr. Dean Kane and Lauri Kane have created and assembled the surgical and non-surgical treatments they offer with your convenience and comfort in mind. When you request your consultation with them, you can feel confident knowing that more than one option will be available to you.
If you have questions or you don't feel quite ready to make an appointment, give Lauri Kane a call at 410.602.3322. You'll get objective input grounded in Lauri Kane's training and experience working with plastic surgery and medical spa clients. She and Dr. Kane hope to welcome you to the Center for Cosmetic Surgery & MediSpa on Reservoir Circle in Baltimore soon.

Your Consultation
The Center for Cosmetic Surgery and Medi-Spa in Baltimore is unique as they provide a husband, plastic surgeon Dr. Dean Kane and wife, Lauri Kane practice. Their Maryland Center offers a warm and caring approach in cosmetic surgery in a very sophisticated beautiful and homey like setting. Each patient will receive the male and female perspective or the Ying and Yang to what would be cosmetically best for each patient. While Dr. Kane and Lauri most often agree, there are times each offers a different perspective that gives the patient two very viable options in choosing the right cosmetic approach. The Kane's have been married for 33 years and have worked together over 20 years together in their Maryland Center for Cosmetic Surgery to give their patients a genuine caring approach to all their rejuvenation needs.
Dr. Dean Kane tends to be serious, clinical yet conservative. While he is a very creative out of the box thinker, he always does the right thing for patients and does not sway
away from performing what is the right procedure for the right patient. His patients love him and you can hear their own personal testimonials on our videos right on our website: www.DrDeanKane.com.
Dr. Kane always puts the safety of the patient first and foremost and is always compassionate in his approach in the care of his patients. So he gets excellent results while being conservative for the safety of the patient.
Dr. Kane will use cutting edge technology when he believes it is appropriate, but will also go with the traditional when that is appropriate. The bottom line is that each patient gets very individual approaches and Dr. Kane tries very hard to match the approach with the patient.
The ying and yang of there is Center is Lauri Kane's role to provide the woman's touch for all their patients. Lauri first sees the patient and truly listens to what their issues and concerns. She gets an overall assessment about the patient, health history, social history, emotional issues, and financial capabilities. By the time Dr. Kane enters the room, Lauri figures out what are the best approaches for the patient. Lauri becomes the patient advocate. The patient knows that Lauri truly listened to what she wants and explains what the patient wants to Dean. The patients can rely on Lauri to be honest with her opinions and help her focus on what she came in for. "I am very easy going and caring about all our patient needs and they know that they can call me for any problems or questions any time."
When you come to the Center for Cosmetic Surgery, be prepared for warm hugs and a welcome into the Kane family. Their patients are all "lifers" because they love the Kane's, their very friendly staff and their charming office. The Maryland based Center serves patients from the Eastern Shore, All of Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Washington, DC and Virginia.

Surgical Facility
Our cosmetic surgery practice in Maryland is located in a modern, 3,000 square-foot office (complete with lots of free parking) just a block off the Baltimore beltway, making it easily accessible from just about anywhere. Our spacious office—as inviting as a living room—is not only beautiful, but also recognized as one of the top surgical facilities in the state of Maryland. Since opening in 1990, we have continually been recognized as plastic surgery leaders in Baltimore. We were recently designated the National BOTOX® Cosmetic Training Center in the state and were hand picked to be a premier Restylane® injection facility. Our center also features a state-of-the-art surgical suite for those who wish for a more comfortable, private setting. Whatever your needs, you may rest assured that here you will be in great hands. For those patients requiring extra care, Dr. Kane maintains active privileges at a nearby Baltimore Hospital. We have added 1800 square feet of clinical space including three new examination rooms, an expanded new operating suite, recovery and pre-op room and treatment room.

Over 20 years ago, Lauri recognized the great time she spent in the sun had caught up to her at the early age of 35.

At this morning's press conference on jobs at the Barclays Center, Mayor Mike Bloomberg was asked a question that seemed animated by the recent report, from Atlantic Yards Watch, that the sidewalks near the arena were far smaller than as measured by the state--portending trouble for neighborhood and arena-goers alike.
"Many residents in the area say they're worried that the streets, the quiet brownstone tree-lined streets will be swamped with people on game days and other event days," asked New York Times reporter Joseph Berger, "and that the city and state have done very little to make sure the streets can handle both the car traffic and the pedestrian traffic."
Bloomberg answered confidently. "Well, most people here are going to be on the main streets. Most of the people are going to come by mass transit," he said. "This mass transit to this stadium is equivalent to the mass transit under Madison Square Garden."
"So I don't think those fears are going to be--I think people will realize that's not really something that's going to happen," Bloomberg said confidently, with no acknowledgment of the specific situation at hand. "The stores here want more traffic, and there will be more traffic for those in the commercial businesses, and that's what you want to have, you want to bring more people to the neighborhood, so we create more jobs."

Will streets/sidewalks near arena be overwhelmed? Bloomberg responds confidently: "not really something that's going to happen"

Inspiration comes in many forms: a friendly welcome from a stranger, a new life lesson learned from a son, the open arms and ears of a friend, the unconditional love of a brother. Inspiration comes in many forms and according to those who knew him, Mason Hoffman embodied them all.
Mason was 21 years old at the time of his death from pulmonary hypertension in June 2009. Despite his young age, Mason was a source of support and knowledge for other PH patients. Friends describe Mason as a young man who simply looked life straight in the eye and never blinked. It was this attitude that made him an integral part of the support system within the PH community. Thomas Mahrer, MD, one of Mason's physicians, describes him as always optimistic, "He was bright, he was intelligent and he was emotionally and psychologically strong despite [his physical] deterioration."
As an active participant in PHA's online community, Mason provided friendship and insight to PH patients – both newly diagnosed and long-term survivors. When another patient was in need of encouragement, Mason was there with, what some refer to as, "Masonisms." Mason's commitment to assisting other PH patients was so innate that even as he struggled during the last few days of his life, he took the time to respond to e-mails from other patients seeking his advice.
One of Mason's strongest messages was to make each day count. Mason completed high school at the age of 16 and went on to attend community college. He was an accomplished athlete, including water sports, skiing, golf and a champion motocross racer. Mason also completed enough in-flight hours to qualify for a pilot's license. When Mason's health kept him in doors, he channeled his seemingly limitless energy into family monopoly tournaments.
In 2008, Mason saw PHA's 8th International PH Conference in Houston, Texas as an opportunity to meet many of his online friends in person and applied for financial assistance through the Conference Scholarship Program. According to his father, Dale Hoffman, Mason was excited when he received a scholarship to attend because it offered him the opportunity to continue to make a positive impact in the community. While at Conference, Mason called his father each day happily sharing news of old and new friends. When Mason arrived back home in Arizona he was elated; Dale recalls, "It was truly a great experience for him." Those people who had the opportunity to meet Mason at conference in 2008 say they count themselves as lucky to have known him.
After Mason's passing this summer, his family and friends discussed ways to honor Mason's memory. Dale credits his son for being a strong influence in his own life, "From the time Mason was very young, I learned many things from him. It was quite amazing…to be inspired by a young lad just starting to grow up." In that spirit Dale Hoffman established the Mason Hoffman Scholarship Fund and contributed funds from Mason's life insurance policy along with his own personal donations. This scholarship fund will enable four young adult PH patients (ages 18-30) to attend the 2010 International Conference without financial burden.
Through the Mason Hoffman Scholarship Fund, Mason's strong spirit will be passed on to young adults who will have the opportunity to attend PHA's International Conferences. "Mason received so much from attending conference. This Fund will give others the opportunity to gain those same experiences," Dale concluded. It is the Hoffman family's hope that these recipients will see firsthand the generosity and fearlessness Mason inspired within the PH community, and that others will follow in Mason's compassionate footsteps.

Carma Marie Willson Sherman was born Nov. 9, 1941 in Price to Rinda and Clarence Willson of Elmo, Utah. She died on Oct. 30 in Price.
She graduated from North Emery High School and attended College of Eastern Utah. Carma married Jack Sherman on March 15, 1960. She had worked for Carbon Emery Bank, and then retired from the Emery School District as the accounts payable clerk, a job she loved. Carma took great pride in everything that she did and strived for perfection. She had many talents from playing the piano, singing, needle point, counted cross stitch, sewing; her most treasured gifts will be the many afghans that she made for her family-each stitch made with love and a hug hidden inside. She loved to walk and stay active. One of her favorite activities was hiking the Grand Canyon which she did numerous times.
The most important thing to Carma was her family. She treasured all of the trips that she and Jack took to the Oregon Coast. Her boys were her pride and joy and she was very proud of the men they grew to be. She was so happy that her sons found wives she could proudly call her daughters. She talked often of her grandchildren and the love, hopes and dreams she had for each of them. She was happy to be a great-grandma also.
Carma is survived by her loving husband Jack E. Sherman of Huntington, sons: Clinton Edward (Lisa) Sherman of Huntington, James Evan (Aretha) Sherman of Cleveland, grandchildren: BreAnna (Carter) Robinson, Cole and Chase Sherman of Huntington, Miles, Elizabeth Jem, and James Sherman of Cleveland, and two great- grandchildren Harlee and Tenlee Robinson. Carma is also survived by her sisters; LoyDeane (William) Whilske of Elmo, Colleen (Art) Jones of Hennifer, Utah, Linda (Pete) Mottishaw and Carolyn (Dirk) Harris both of Idaho; brothers; Clifton (Mickie) Carter of Cleveland, Stephen (Carleen) Willson and Stanley (Juanita) Willson both of Elmo, and many treasured nieces and nephews.
Friends called for a visitation at the Heritage Funeral Home, 620 N. Main Street in Huntington on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2010 from 5-7 p.m. Funeral services were held at the Huntington Stake Center, 240 N. Main Street on Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2010 at 11 a.m. Funeral services under the trusted care of Heritage Funeral Home.

People sometimes ask me what I think of Total Immersion. A full discussion is beyond the scope of this post, but suffice to say: While I may quarrel with a few of the details, I think it's general emphasis on "harmony with the water" is quite valid – and its validity increases with swim distance.
T.I. coaches teach their students to not "fight" the water. Beginning swimmers often fight the water (almost by definition), but advanced swimmers aren't immune. I often catch myself doing this when I'm fatigued and trying to hold a pace slightly beyond my comfort zone. I've paid much more attention to not fighting the water since I started doing marathon swims. You might be able to get away with fighting the water in a 50, or even a 200, but in a marathon this is death. A relaxed, efficient stroke is essential.
On days when I'm not feeling so hot, I try to forget about going fast and just focus on relaxing and swimming efficiently. If I'm working out with a team, this may require slight adjustments to sets.
For example, say the coach assigns a descend set – 4×200 descended 1-4. Instead of trying to go faster on each 200, I'll try to hold the same pace on each one, but with progressively less effort. The only way to hold pace constant while using less effort is to become more efficient. Incidentally, I think these types of sets are useful as a warm-up to a long swim – or during the few days leading up to it.

The Brooklyn Nets promised big things to fans upon their move from New Jersey this offseason. They broke the bank in free agency, compiling a lineup featuring five former All-Stars. They unveiled a gaudy new arena.
Then they lost in the first round of the 2013 NBA playoffs, falling at home in Game 7 Saturday night against the Chicago Bulls.
Now is time for more change. So the Nets won't keep interim coach P.J. Carlesimo around for next year. Carlesimo replaced Avery Johnson in December, and though he put up a 35-19 regular season record, the team is moving forward without him.
"The Brooklyn Nets organization would like to thank P.J. for his efforts with the team in his roles as both head coach and assistant, and for his contributions to the team's success both on and off the court," Nets general manager Billy King said in a statement. "We wish P.J. and his family only the best in the years to come."
THE END: Bulls oust Nets in Brooklyn
BILLY KING: Nets will hold on to GM
PHOTOS: Top shots from Bulls-Nets
Carlesimo was brought in as a true interim coach, with few expecting the 63-year-old to be the Nets' long-term choice. When he was hired, ownership made clear he would be given an extended run in the interim position so as to avoid rushing any decisions on a permanent. hire.
King, who was responsible for constructing the expensive but talented Nets roster, was kept in place this offseason despite scrutiny of his use of salary cap space. He now leads an important quest to find a new coach. Phil Jackson, dream hire for so many fans throughout the league, recently agreed to work with the Detroit Pistons as an adviser for their own coach hiring process.
Carlesimo has a lifetime NBA coaching record of 239-315 in the regular season and 6-13 in the playoffs.

By Gene Phelps/NEMS Daily Journal
FLOWOOD – For Northwest Rankin's John Alan Wall, Saturday's playoff game against Tupelo was one for the scrapbook.
For the visiting Golden Wave, it was no keepsake.
Wall belted a grand slam homerun and a game-winning two-run double in the Cougars' 11-1 five-inning victory in Game 2 of their MHSAA Class 6A best-of-three series.
The win gave Northwest Rankin (27-5) a sweep of the first-round series. Tupelo (19-11), an 8-3 loser in Game 1, saw its season end.
Wall's homer in the second inning off Tupelo starter Michael Hensley came one pitch after the Golden Wave loaded the bases with an intentional walk to slugger Reid Humphreys, who has belted 11 homers this season.
"We were playing the odds and it backfired on us," Tupelo coach Gary Enis said. "That was a big blow. It deflated everybody."
Northwest Rankin scored seven runs in the inning to build a 9-0 lead.
Wall's slam
Wall took Hensley's first pitch deep over the left field fence for his fifth homer of the season.
"It was inside," Wall said of the pitch. "I don't know how I got my hands through it, but I did."
The Cougars clinched the series on the strength of Wall's two-run double to left in the bottom of the fifth inning. They will play Southaven in the state quarterfinals.
Hensley finished the season 6-2 as a starter. He was relieved in the third by Ben Matthews, who silenced the Cougars' hot bats. He recorded four strikeouts and gave up one hit, the double to Wall in the fifth.
Tupelo scored its lone run in the fifth inning on back-to-back singles by Michael Ray and J.P. Stanzell.
Left-hander Hunter Smith (7-0) got the win.

Global action needed to conserve Arctic biodiversity26/
Nagoya, 27 October 2010 - The Arctic is experiencing some of the most rapid environmental changes on the planet. Whilst this presents enormous challenges for conserving biodiversity, it also offers opportunities for enhancing cooperation between nations and reforming environmental governance to meet the challenges of the 21st Century, according to a new report by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).The Arctic contribution to global biodiversity is significant. Hundreds of migrating species (including 279 species of birds and the grey and humpback whales) travel long distances each year in order to take advantage of productive Arctic summers.However, evidence of warming in the Arctic is mounting year on year - with serious consequences for biodiversity. This year is no exception. One well-publicised impact of warming is the loss of habitat for species dependent on sea ice, such as polar bears. But this is only one change. Across the Arctic, many habitats that are considered critical for biodiversity, such as the tundra, have been disappearing over the last few decades.Launched to coincide with the 10th Meeting of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in Nagoya, Japan, the report, entitled Protecting Arctic Biodiversity: Strengths and limitations of environmental agreements, was researched by UNEP's Polar Centre GRID-Arendal in Norway. The report underlines that although tried and tested solutions to the current biodiversity crisis in the Arctic exist in the region itself, important conservation gains will only be won if root causes originating outside the Arctic region are addressed. Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director, said: "We are currently witnessing unprecedented change in the Arctic, which will have important and far-reaching consequences not only for the region itself, but for the rest of the world."The rapid changes in the Arctic are perhaps the most striking example of how interconnected our world is, and how policies in one part of the world can severely affect the environment, biodiversity and livelihoods in another. The report finds that existing multilateral environmental agreements that include the Arctic region, such as the Kyoto Protocol or the Basel Convention on transboundary wastes, might be effective against threats caused by local, national, or regional activities (mining and oil and gas exploitation, for example) if adequately implemented. This is because the fundamental threats to Arctic biodiversity, such as climate change, transboundary contaminants and habitat fragmentation are essentially global in nature. Tackling these threats will require identifying international agreements that are relevant to biodiversity, but in new, unconventional ways. The report stresses that more global, cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary thinking by policy-makers, scientists and other stakeholders will be necessary to deal with increasing pressures on Arctic biodiversity. Peter Prokosch, Managing Director of UNEP/GRID-Arendal in Norway, said: "Much could be gained by specifically targeting conservation efforts on selected Arctic migratory bird species. These species spend the winter in habitats outside the Arctic and, as a result, are severely impacted by the loss of harvest and habitat loss far beyond the polar regions."The report recommends that the Arctic Council could play a more active role in supporting the development of specific conservation efforts and further collaboration with non-Arctic states that share responsibility for migratory Arctic wildlife. Established in 1996, the Arctic Council brings together governments and indigenous communities to address sustainable development issues in the region. Given the importance of engaging non-Arctic countries and organizations in the protection of Arctic biodiversity, the report urges all stakeholders to identify and communicate the global impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss in the Arctic, and the relevance of the Arctic to environmental and economic thinking.Lawrence Hislop, Head of the Polar Programme at UNEP/GRID-Arendal, said: "The report highlights the clear implications of how human activities around the world have a dramatic impact on the rapid change we currently see in the Arctic. The region acts as a mirror of our actions".The report recommends strengthening existing mechanisms for the protection and conservation of biodiversity. It shows that there is a wealth of options, but that a lack of implementation of existing agreements is a prevalent problem. The harmonisation of national reporting between the Arctic nations on issues of common concern is one such option. This would allow for more effective national reporting to multilateral environmental agreements. Protected areas - such as national parks or marine reserves - are one of the most effective tools for managing Arctic resources. While increased action outside the Arctic is urgently required, the report urges Arctic nations to substantially increase the extent of protected areas, especially in coastal zones and in the marine environment. The series of case studies and stakeholder contributions in the report highlight the importance of engaging local communities and Indigenous Peoples in ensuring the protection and sustainable use of biodiversity within the Arctic.The report urges Arctic nations to invest in co-management regimes and programmes of adaptation for societies in the Arctic, drawing on their traditional knowledge. Kathrine Ivsett Johnsen, lead editor of the report at UNEP/GRID-Arendal, said: "Arctic species can hold different economic, social and spiritual values for different people. Conflicts can arise when values clash, such as we describe in the case studies on seals and wolverines. The challenge is to reconcile conservation with the sustainable use of living resources". Finally, it is hoped the Arctic Council will work towards an even more progressive role in ensuring the protection and sustainable use of the living natural resources in the Arctic.Recommendations: The report identifies four major areas where Arctic states must strengthen further their funding, ambitions and activities, addressing both Arctic and global issues that influence the future sustainable management and development in the Arctic:1. The Arctic region should strengthen investments in co-management and in supporting programmes of adaptation. However, a coordinated global approach is needed with actions required at all levels. 2. Arctic nations need to substantially increase the extent of protected areas, especially in the coastal zone as well as the marine environment. 3. Arctic states should increase the monitoring of Arctic biodiversity and further promote cooperation with non-Arctic states that share responsibility for Arctic migratory wildlife.4. The Arctic Council should work towards an even more progressive role in ensuring the protection and sustainable use of the living natural resources in the Arctic, similar to its efforts in combating long-range transboundary pollutants.Notes to EditorsThe full report, Protecting Arctic Biodiversity: Limitations and strengths of environmental agreements, can be downloaded from www.grida.no/publications/arctic-biodiversity The report includes high- and low-resolution graphics for free use in publications.
