From The Files Of September 25, 1952
'52 this issue are taken up by a letter from the editor's wife, Mrs. John Greathead, who describes her trip to England aboard the Queen Elizabeth. She starts out by saying she and her son, Jamie, who accompanied her to England, missed seeing the Statute of Liberty because they were on the wrong side of the ship and when they tried to gt to the other side, they got lost. The food on the trip was excellent, she said, but they were often late for meals because of the constant changes in time. She and Jamie had a cabin all to themselves "way down in the bowels of the ship." She said they got lost several times – 'The Queen Elizabeth is immense. Jamie is behaving well and everyone thinks he is a seasoned traveller except that he keeps calling the Atlantic a creek. We saw everything, including Henry Ford sitting as big as you please having a drink in the first-class lounger. He didn't ask us to join him. We saw the galleys, too. We were having turkey that night, and there must have been about a hundred of them in stacks. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if they had a turkey farm on board. I saw the purser and had my money checked to see that I didn't bring out more than I took into England. Fat chance of my doing that. It was raining cats and dogs when I got my first glimpse of England in six years, and I wondered whether it had just kept up during the whole six years I had been gone. It was raining when I left. We were allowed to leave the ship about 8:30 and I found my mother and part of my family waiting for me. We arrived in Wimbledon around 1 p.m. and the inevitable cup of tea was waiting. Home at last!

text: Most everyone has learned of "Murphy's Law" which states: "If anything can go wrong it will go wrong." A pleasant tale says the name was coined at Edwards Air Force Base in 1949 after Capt. Edward A. Murphy had bad fortune beyond imagining during deceleration tests. Whether or not this is the true source of the expression [which may actually trace back to bad luck English farmers (sods) and their ill-fated crops (called "sod's law")], after six decades of fly fishing misfortune, it is apparent to me that there are several corollaries of Murphy's law applicable to fly fishing.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence means you can't get an erection. It can also mean you are dissatisfied with the size or hardness of your erections, or how long your erections last.
In the past, ED was thought to be due to psychological problems. It is now known that for most men ED is caused by physical problems. These are most often related to the blood supply of the penis.
There are different types and causes of ED. These are some of the most common:
ED is a symptom that is linked to many health problems such as:
Diagnosis of ED may include:
Treatment for ED is based on the cause of the problem. Some of the treatments that may be used include:
ED can cause strain on a couple. Many times, men will avoid sexual situations because they are embarrassed. In turn, his partner may feel rejected or inadequate. It is important to talk openly with your partner. Some couples may seek treatment for ED together. Other men prefer to seek treatment without their partner's knowledge. Not talking about it is the main barrier to getting treatment. The loss of erectile function can have a profound effect on a man. The good news is that ED can usually be treated safely and effectively.
Feeling embarrassed about ED may prevent many men from getting the medical attention they need. This can delay diagnosis and treatment of more serious underlying conditions. ED itself is often related to an underlying problem, such as heart disease, diabetes, liver disease, or other medical conditions. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have problems with ED. Help is available.

Trying to create good paying jobs has become a national obsession. All political candidates are for it; states and cities are devising ways to promote it; and every taxpaying citizen who is underpaid and overworked (or jobless) is clamoring for better jobs — preferably near their home.
With Mitt Romney's razor-thin victory in Iowa's presidential caucus, what's the most telling number? Is it 8 — the margin by which he barely beat Rick Santorum, the former senator from Pennsylvania who came out of nowhere in the past two weeks (then polling almost dead last) to surprise everyone? Is it 21 percent — the protest vote given to 75-year-old, grouchy libertarian Rep. Ron Paul of Texas? Or maybe 13 percent — the lousy showing by Newt Gingrich that landed him in a distant fourth place?
Try six.

In less than two weeks, our only daughter, Diane, will get married to her fiancé, Oshane.
Turning 50 and seeing a child get married during the same month. As if I needed further evidence that I am getting old.
Seems like only yesterday that I was writing columns in this newspaper about Diane being born, learning how to pronounce her hometown of Bristol, building fairy houses in the woods and eventually graduating from high school.

mmmullen necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 20 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
Bikes for Albion
We are a social enterprise that will give away inexpensive but reliable bikes to commuters in London, via corporate sponsorship. The the UK, then the rest of Europe. Then North America. We are believe in physical and mental fitness personal and political liberation and environmental salvation through bicycle commuting. We're not hippies, CSR nerds, tree-huggers, or....well ok, tree huggers. But we flip our ties over our shoulders first.
Anybody can get one of these bikes as long as they will ride it to work or school and back. Over 18. So that's the target.
We want a silhouette of a Royal Guard riding a bike and waving. We will print all good entries in exactly the same size and take the one that is most identifiably exactly that from the greatest distance. If it is a side view, he should be riding from the left to the right. The bike should be more or less a single speed Dutch style upright bike.
However better would be an upright bike with wheels of a slightly smaller diameter than Dutch bike wheels and bigger tires than a Dutch bike (ie the size of a mountain bike). Also rather than a top tube parallel to the ground or parallel to the down tube (ladies bike) one with the top tube meeting the seat stay in the middle. The seat stay should go all the way up. Not this bike but this for terms http://ow.ly/rqnp. But not a mountain bike frame like this http://ow.ly/rqoF. Just a regular upright single speed step through commuter bike. But if the image is better with Dutch bike, we will go with that.
The rider should be a Grenadier Guard wearing a bearskin http://ow.ly/rqvq
We want to convey bicycle commuting and England. We think this will be best, if you can come up with a different idea that is visible and immediately identifiable, easy to see and spot from a distance, and conveys those two things, we'll look and pick the best.

4CLabs needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 95 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
We're a start-up that provides business application services for small and medium sized organizations over the web. Ofisim.com will be our first portal in our portfolio delivering CRM (Customer Relationship Management) functionality for our customers. The site is expected to grow in the future with additional functionality such as HelpDesk support and Inventory management.
The site is still under development. You can visit the working prototype at http://ofisim.cloudapp.net (User name/password are admin/admin)
As you'll see, our current site does not yet have a landing page. We're soon planning to go live with an invitation-only beta program. To attract customers, we want to have a simple landing page that'll draw attention and generate WOW at first sight.
Customers that are accepted for the beta program will be able to login and use our web application. We want to make sure the application itself also has a clean, web 2.0 like design that blends nicely with the landing page. There are many pages in the application, but we want to see the design just for 2 pages: Main dashboard and company details page.
We're very interested in seeing some professional looking designs that'll differentiate us from the crowd. We're in the business of developing web apps and we can also potentially have a long term work agreement with the winner.
Business professionals that work on team environments and rely on effective communication and collaboration tools: Marketing agencies, web design firms, consultants, etc.
There are 2 set of requirements:
1) Delivery of the 3 pages described below. Pages should blend well together. People should feel like they're all part of the same experience.
2) Currently, ofisim.com does not have a product logo. We're also very interested in seeing an eye-catching logo design for ofisim.com that'll be used on the landing page as well as the subsequent application pages. Ofisim brand (which literally means "My Office" in Turkish), should resonate the power of cloud computing, the comfort of having your office data accessible from anytime/anywhere and the powerful set of tools around communication and collaboration.
1.The landing page for ofisim.com. This will be very similar to http://www.getflow.com. The page will be used during our beta program. Its whole purpose will be arousing curiosity with its simple but elegant design. Similar to http://www.getflow.com, there should be some icons giving clues about what's inside. Particularly: Contact, Project, Task and File management features, together with Collaboration features should be represented.
2.Dashboard page. This is the re-design of what you see when you sign-in through http://ofisim.cloudapp.net (User name/password are admin/admin). Please see example websites below. We're looking for a clean design with soft edges. Soft colors that are easy to the eye with good use of contrast will be appreciated. In your designs, please keep usability, readability, ease-of-navigation in your mind. Feel free to change the location or size of anything on the screen for that purpose.
3.Company details page: This is the re-design of http://ofisim.cloudapp.net/CompanyV…ompanyID=1 . This should simply be the continuation of the Dashboard page and relatively straightforward. We just want to see an example of interim pages to figure out how the rest of the pages in the site should look like.
http://ofisim.cloudapp.net (User name/password are admin/admin).
For the web application:
http://www.pulseapp.com (Click on "Feature Tour" to see the screenshots)
Great use of colors and fonts. Although it's a webapp solving a business problem, there's an appealing simplicty in its UI design.
http://www.reverbapp.com (Click on "Tour" to see the screenshots)
Quite nice in general layout. Also the app functionality is very similar to ours. The font sizes are a little small though.
http://www.getballpark.com (Click on "Feature Tour" to see the screenshots)
Very clean edges. Nice 3D effect on UI elements. Good use of fonts.
For the logo:
Soft colors, resonates a sense of coziness which Ofisim would like to message as well (As mentioned above, Ofisim literally means "My Office"). Good focus on people and team environment.
Not as good as the previous one. But good emphasis on collaboration aspects and good use of colors.
Very good depiction of teams collaborating. Gives a sense of office environment as well. Good use of colors.

* Re-Cycled Tissue Paper Sunflower Bowl Craft for Kids
This was our second project from Jane Bull's book, "Make It!"
We had plenty of eco paste leftover from our
Re-cycled Paper Bowl making project.
I have to admit that I really wanted to make this sunflower bowl too.
I was excited when "E" asked if she could make one.
We already had our eco-paste made from the re-cycled paper bowl project.
For instructions see this post.
"E" shredded a bunch of tissue paper into strips.
She worked with yellow, orange, green, and blue.
She greased up one of my kitchen bowls with a layer of vaseline
then got to work layering the tissue paper strips with eco-paste.
We found that the best system was for me to hand her strips with my
non-sticky handys while she stayed goopy and spread out the glue/goop.
She worked from green to blue then added the yellow and orange.
The overlapping areas in the center look dark (sort of brownish) just like a real sunflower.
She put her sunflower bowl in the art studio to dry with
the other paper bowls.
The tissue paper sunflower dried a lot faster than the paper pulp bowls did.
It was dry in 2 or 3 days instead of 4-5 days.
Here's the bottom of the sunflower bowl.
E did a great job on her tissue paper sunflower bowl, I love it!
I'm thinking it needs some brown M&Ms.

The Best Players to Stash in Fantasy Football From the NFC West
In our continuation of an ongoing series looking at each NFL team for their most promising, unheralded sleeper, today we will be taking at look at the NFC West. Don't forget to check out the other picks from the NFC East.
Every team has one or two players deep on the depth chart who have the talent and potential to make waves during a season. These "rise from obscurity" stories can be immensely valuable in dynasty and keeper formats in fantasy football but can also have value as well in redraft leagues.
For example, before the 2010 season, very few people had heard the name Jimmy Graham. He was a mid-round draft pick who was more basketball player than tight end.
That year, he posted a modest 31-catch, 356-yard, 5-touchdown line that put him on the radar. But if you were in a dynasty league, it was probably too late. In 2011, he broke out with a 99-reception, 1,300-yard, 11-touchdown campaign and claimed the title as fantasy football's premier tight end.
The key is finding these players a year too early rather than a year too late.
You have similar stories with players such as Travis Kelce, Jordan Cameron and Julius Thomas. And it's not just the tight ends. Arian Foster, Alfred Morris, Andre Ellington, C.J. Anderson, T.Y. Hilton, Pierre Garcon, Victor Cruz, Marques Colston, and Russell Wilson would all qualify as being deep sleepers before their breakout years.
To find these players, you look for a certain profile. Perhaps off-the-field issues, inexperience or health caused them to fall off the radar, but their size, speed and ability suggest that they can really explode with the right development and opportunity. These are the guys you target late in drafts or keep tabs on throughout the season to see if opportunity might come their way. Far from just being role players, these individuals possess the talent to be dominant if the opportunity presents itself. In deeper leagues or dynasty leagues, finding them plays a big role in separating the good owners from the great ones.
Who are some players to keep an eye on in the NFC West? Let's take a look.

Their prices do reflect those benefits though, it's one of the most expensive online stores. I'm going to try it out, it probably works.

ABC reporter and global warming enthusiast Bill Blakemore on Sunday condescendingly dismissed climate change skeptics as "denialists." In a piece on ABCNews.com, he called for yet more advocacy on the part of journalists.
After noting that confidence in the science of climate change has varied from year to year, Blakemore huffed that these beliefs "don't seem to be responding all that much, [Professor Jon Krosnick] says, to whatever the global warming denialist campaigns may have been doing."
Blakemore then lectured meteorologists for not being biased enough:
A number of America's TV meteorologists and other broadcast weatherpersons have been accused by peer-reviewed climate scientists either of being greatly uninformed about the science of the basics of manmade global warming, or, at the very least, of shying away from any mention of it during broadcasts for fear of losing ratings by driving their audience away with worrisome news.
Instead, complain these scientists, U.S. TV weather journalists, feeling the need to provide some explanation for the unusual weather, often escape into a simplistic nearest-cause answer, blaming the extreme weather on "the jet stream," while avoiding the science that connects the jet stream's behavior to manmade global warming … as well as ignoring other larger global patterns that also project such extremes.
Of course, as a recent MRC analysis found out, this isn't true. ABC weatherman Sam Champion in 2008 wondered, "Could global warming one day force us into space to live?"
During another Champion segment in 2007, Good Morning America wondered if "billions" will die from global warming.
Is that "shying away" from global warming disaster talk?
Blakemore himself has a history of climate change alarmism:
"Life around the globe now appears to be under non-stop stress from the heat. NASA scientists say no natural climate cycles can explain it. The heat must be caused in large measure at least by greenhouse gas emissions.... NASA scientists now calculate, Robin, that the planet has at most ten years during which serious greenhouse gas emission cuts have to get well underway, or else by the time today's kids are reaching middle age, turning about 40, they say the Earth will start to experience temperatures higher than it has known in half a million years."
- ABC's Bill Blakemore, Good Morning America, Dec. 15, 2006.
"Many scientists say that it [the Western wildfires] fits exactly into the pattern predicted for global warming....[San Bernadino Fire Chief Mat Fratus] told me he also worries about how all the carbon from the fires only contributes to global warming. That fact about forest fires is something that Al Gore also points out in his new book, and that book is now near the top of the bestseller list. It seems that people are really starting to pay attention to global warming."
- ABC's Bill Blakemore, Good Morning America, June 20, 2006.
A previous Blakemore article from April 1st featured these leading headlines:
Global Warming Denialism 'Just Foolishness,' Scientist Peter Raven Says
U.S. prestige falling as world has 'pretty well given up' on any American leadership facing climate change.
Clearly, Blakemore is doing his part for climate change alarmism.

Shed Light Technology
Shed Light Technology provides a range of technical services supporting attorneys' courtroom presentations by incorporating visual and auditory elements designed to clarify, "enlighten", and persuade juries and judges on key points in the cases.
Shed Light Services:
1. Outfit the courtroom with projectors, monitors, and laptops used to display information to support the lawyers position
2. Digitally store and organize all relevant documents, photos, charts, animation, and reconstructions so they are readily available.
3. Provide technical and design expertise to take full advantage of software tools so as to craft a compelling and memorable presentation.
4. Operate the equipment in the courtroom to make sure that the presentation runs as planned - without technical glitches.
It's important to keep juries and judges focused and attentive during a presentation. Studies show that retention and understanding are improved when a combination of visual and oral formats are used.
Shed Light's service is intended to help simplify and clarify complex ideas and arguments.
We want to be seen as information presentation specialists who use technology as a means to understanding. Shed Light is about creating persuasive, clear, and easily recallable presentations.
We are the stage crew for the attorneys – essential to the show but never in the spotlight.
Primary – Small law firms, with limited support staff, whose main practice area is litigation. These firms don't have the internal resources of the bigger firms but are looking to use the same tools available to the larger practices. There are two groups within this audience: those attorneys who are open to using the technology but aren't aware of Shed Light, and those attorneys who are reluctant to adopt new approaches due to technology phobia, ignorance, or being "set in their ways".
Second Level – Support staff at law firms including office managers, paralegals, and computer technicians at companies whose attorneys look to these staff members for help in organizing information and presentations for trials, mediations, and hearings. These people are influencers, if not the decision makers.
Third Level – Expert Witnesses involved in making presentations in courtrooms and in governmental hearings who need support in organizing and strengthening their testimony with audio-visual materials.
Corporate Logo
Emphasis should be on Shed Light. "Technology" can be smaller type size - less emphasis but still there.
No particular font required but should be clean and sharp – looking for clarity.
Colors – Be creative, no specific colors in mind but want colors that are easily replicable for different applications; i.e. website, business cards, print advertising, letterhead, clothing, signage and banners.
Want logo to be strong in black and white.
Needs to look good with both light and dark backgrounds.
Strong, simple lines - clean, not busy.
Impressions that might be incorporated in design (We are open to other ideas) -
Shedding light on something in the dark
Getting to core idea
Simplifying the complicated
Out of the darkness into the light
Bright Sunshine
Attention grabbing
Winning design needs to be provided as a CMYK image in SVG or Adobe Illustrator AI format and as a layered RGB file in Photoshop PSD. We would also like to have JPEG versions in 3 sizes: small, medium, and large.
Be Creative - Have Fun!

More rows. More maneuverability. More stability during transport. And more frame flexibility. Growers get more of everything with the new 36-row and 32-row Case IH Early Riser 1260 planters, including more configurations: The 36-row model is available in 20-, 22- and 30-inch rows, the 32-row planter has 30-inch rows.
Thanks to a new front-fold design, the 1260 transports as narrow as 13-feet 8-inches. While the new, steerable rear axle option helps the 1260 follow the same path as the tractor during turns.
"When we interviewed Case IH customers, they told us they needed to cover more ground, but also wanted more maneuverability in the field and during transport," says Alan Forbes, Case IH planter marketing manager. "With the patented rear steering axle, when you turn into a field, your planter can trail the same path as your tractor. So you don't have to stop and reposition to avoid dropping your rear tires in a ditch."
Forbes cites the 1260's new dual-purpose wing gauge wheels as another smart design feature farmers will appreciate. "You need gauge wheels on the wings for flotation," he says, "So why not use them as transport wheels, too? Instead of hanging in the air doing nothing as the machine trails down the road, Case IH engineered these castering wheels to improve stability during transit." The result: A Case IH Early Riser 1260 planter tows like a trailer, with much less weight on the hitch.
"Most big planters typically have upwards of 14,000 pounds on the hitch, with no support wheels on the ground between the rear tires and the hitch. That's a lot of load, so you may have to add ballast to the tractor," Forbes explains. "Our new 1260 36-row 30-inch planter puts just 3,240 pounds on the hitch, and only 2,240 pounds with the 36-row 22-inch configuration. That's more than four times less weight on the hitch than competitors. That saves a lot of wear and tear on your tractor, as well as a lot of fuel, and makes transport much easier."
The new scissor-hitch is another smart design feature on the 1260 planters. This dual-purpose hitch lifts the toolbar to the level position and automatically captures and locks in the wings, without any additional steps or effort. According to Forbes, "A unique element of this design is the fact that in transport mode, the wings are captured horizontally, but vertical travel is not restricted. So the wings are allowed to walk up and down and the frame flexes as you cross rough terrain."
Both the wing and carrier wheels on the 1260 planters are walking tandem wheels, for improved stability and better ground-following ability. And similar to the smaller Early Riser front-fold planters, the new 1260 models have an outer wing flex of 20 degrees upward and downward for great flexibility. "That's flexibility to follow the ground contours, even in the roughest terrain," Forbes adds.
With the pneumatic down pressure control option on the new Case IH 1260 planters, the operator can adjust the pressure up or down from the comfort of the cab. "You don't have to head for the hitch or pull a bunch of iron into the back of your cab," Forbes says. "Just push a button on your Case IH AFS Pro 600 monitor."
The new AFS AccuRow control option — which allows automatic row shut-off based on GPS — also is controlled from the AFS Pro 600. "Seed is more expensive than ever," Forbes says. "With AFS AccuRow control, you get automatic overlap control, saving you seed and fuel, especially on point rows and irregular fields. And everything is controlled from a single monitor. Your cab stays clean."
In addition, growers can adjust seeding rates from the cab, with the push of an up or down arrow on the Case IH AFS Pro 600 display. "And if you're using GPS and want to write prescriptions that automatically increase or decrease seed rates in certain parts of your field, your AFS Pro 600 will handle that, too."
The front-fold toolbar was designed by Case IH engineers to be rugged, resilient, and ideally matched with Early Riser row units. "Our field-proven, industry-exclusive Early Riser row units provide superior seed-to-soil contact, for earlier, more even emergence," Forbes says.
Another industry exclusive on the new Early Riser 1260 front-fold planters: The Case IH Advanced Seed Meter system. This highly advanced vacuum meter system features a larger diameter, slower turning seed disk, providing unmatched seed placement accuracy for a wide range of seed sizes, regardless of seed type, even at faster than normal speeds.

Evans leads Saint Louis past New Mexico St. 64-44
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Saint Louis had no problem maneuvering around 7-foot-5 freshman Sim Bhullar and New Mexico State.
Dwayne Evans scored 24 points, Cody Ellis added 12 points and the fourth-seeded Billikens overwhelmed the Aggies 64-44 in the second round of the NCAA tournament Thursday.
Playing with a heavy heart since Rick Majerus died in December, Saint Louis reached another mark in March for its late coach. The Billikens (28-6) eclipsed the 1988-89 team's school record of 27 victories.
Evans shot 11 of 16 from the floor and finished a point shy of his career best to propel Saint Louis past Bhullar. The Billikens held Bhullar to four points, 11 rebounds and three blocks.
Bandja Sy had 17 points and nine rebounds for the 13th-seeded Aggies (24-11), who shot a miserable 28 percent. Saint Louis shot 46 percent and forced 16 turnovers.
The big man bothered the Billikens at first.
The lumbering center stayed around the rim while his other four teammates chased five players around the perimeter. The unconventional defensed allowed Bhullar to save energy and protect the paint.
Once Saint Louis solved the big man, it had no trouble on either end of the floor.
The Billikens pushed the pace and often left Bhullar in the backcourt, especially when New Mexico State committed seven turnovers in the first nine minutes. Evans pulled up for several uncontested jumpers just inside the free throw line, scoring 16 points during a 29-14 run to open the game.
Bhullar didn't make his first shot until 3:49 left in the first half when he converted a short hook, and he didn't register his first block until swatting Evans' shot 2:37 into the second half.
After New Mexico State showed a brief burst of offense to slice Saint Louis' lead to nine, the Billikens again leaned on Evans to pull away. He converted a pair of difficult reverse layups, outsmarting Bhullar around the rim to lift Saint Louis ahead 37-23.
The Aggies made their best run with Bhullar on the bench. Sy slammed an alley-hoop from Ross-Miller, and Evans added a 3-pointer to a cap an 8-0 run to come within six.
The highlights for the Aggies ended there.
Evans and Ellis -- who wore a blue Mohawk-style strip across his hair -- each made a 3-pointer during a 12-2 spurt for Saint Louis that put the game away. The Billikens led 49-34 with 9:30 remaining, and honored Majerus the best way they know: staying steady down the stretch to advance in the NCAA tournament.
Players wore a patch on their jerseys -- a ribbon with the word "Coach" -- as they have since Majerus died of heart failure in December. He left the team before the season because of health concerns, and Jim Crews has taken over and led the Billikens to the A-10 regular season and conference crowns.
The Billikens beat Memphis last year before losing in the round of 32 to Michigan State. They made their first opponent looked like a walkover, although that's hardly been the case the past two months.
The Aggies closed out year winning 18 of 20 games, including the Western Athletic Conference tournament title for the second straight season. New Mexico State also was a No. 13 seed last season, losing 79-66 in the first round to Indiana.
The Aggies haven't won a tournament game since beating Nebraska in the opening round in 1993.

Waxman Supporters Claim He 'Has The Votes' To Replace Dingell
From the Wonk Room.
John Dingell (D-MI) and Henry Waxman (D-Cal.)
A likely measure of the depth of Waxman's support is last month's statement of climate principles, signed by 152 members, or two-thirds of the Democratic caucus, on October 2. The letter, led by Waxman, Ed Markey (D-MA), and Jay Inslee (D-WA), details much stronger standards than were found in the draft legislation Dingell produced the following week.The National Journal reports:
Dingell is expected to win support from Majority Leader Hoyer, Midwestern Democrats, members of the Congressional Black Caucus – who typically back the seniority – and Blue Dog Coalition members.
The Blue Dogs are self-identified "conservative Democrats," many of whom disproportionately supported Bush's agenda. Dingell, it should be noted, is not a Blue Dog and is a strongly progressive voice on many issues.
Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.), the coal-country chairman of the Energy & Commerce subcommittee that controls greenhouse pollution legislation, echoed the conservative mantra that this election provided no mandate for change. Supporting Dingell, Boucher warned that it would be problematic "if the first action of the new majority … is a dramatic move to the left."
However, this is not an ideological battle. For example, Waxman has secured the support of senior Blue Dog Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.), who told reporters he is "on Henry's whip team." Both Waxman and Dingell have made economic justice and public health central planks of their careers. Their differences are strategic, not ideological. Dingell's work on climate change has emphasized the approach of protecting industry from economic harm, whereas Waxman believes that robust economic health will come from the transition to a clean energy economy.National Journal's Dan Friedman has updated his report with details of a call with Dingell supporters who "forcefully rejected" the claim Waxman has sufficient support to oust Dingell:
"These claims that Mr. Waxman has the votes are just not true," said Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigation Subcommittee Chairman Bart Stupak, D-Mich. "There is no doubt in my mind at the end of the day that Chairman Dingell will still be referred to as Chairman Dingell." Stupak and Reps. John Barrow, D-Ga., and Mike Doyle, D-Pa. said Waxman has not made a clear case for why he should replace Dingell. "I asked [Waxman] quite pointedly what his basis for challenging Mr. Dingell was," Doyle said. "He was unable to give me a single reason why he thought Mr. Dingell shouldn't be chairman other than the fact that he [Waxman] would be a better chairman."

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
The US embassy in Kenya has warned of an "imminent threat" of attacks targeting foreigners a week after Kenya sent troops into neighboring Somalia to fight an Islamist militia in the biggest Kenyan military operation since the country's independence.
Though the embassy did not specify who was behind the threat, it brings home Kenyans' fears of retaliation by the Islamist Al Shabab group for Nairobi's military offensive in Somalia.
The American embassy in Nairobi, in a notice posted on its website and reportedly sent to Americans living in and visiting Kenya, said it had received "credible information of an imminent threat of terrorist attacks directed at prominent Kenyan facilities and areas where foreigners are known to congregate, such as malls and night clubs."
The embassy said it has "taken measures to limit official US government travel to Kenya" and urged Americans to consider deferring travel to Kenya. The alert did not indicate who might carry out the attack, but said the notice expires on Dec. 1. In 1998, bombings at the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed 224 people.
In response to the notice, issued Saturday, Agence France-Presse reports that officials increased security in Nairobi's central business district. Security personnel pushed people back from the entrance of a Hilton hotel, and and "conducted identity checks on people who looked as if they could be Somali," according to AFP.
Last week, Kenya sent several thousand troops into Somalia to fight Al Shabab, which Kenya has blamed for a spate of kidnappings of foreigners inside Kenya. In September, armed men killed a British man and kidnapped his wife. This month, a disabled French woman was kidnapped and later died, and two Spanish aid workers were also kidnapped.
Al Shabab, which controls large swaths of southern Somalia, has denied responsibility for the kidnappings. The group has also threatened retaliation for the invasion.
'Open war' against 'the global Christian invasion'
On Saturday, Al Shabab leader Mohamed Abdi Godane said, according to AFP, "The Islamic regions in Somalia are all on high alert to prepare for the open war that is our response to the incursions by some neighboring countries who are taking part in the global Christian invasion against Somalia." Reuters reports that Al Shabab has warned Kenyan troops to withdraw from Somalia or risk bringing the "flames of war" into Kenya.
Reuters also reports that Kenyan and Somali troops were closing in on an Al Shabab stronghold in southern Somalia Sunday. Reuters called the town of Afmadow "a strategic transit point for goods trafficked illegally through the rebel-controlled Kismayo port, Al Shabab's nerve center for operations."
If they could drive Al Shabab out of Kismayo, the troops say they would deprive the group of a base for logistics and recruitment.
Kenyans worry about retaliation
But as the Monitor reports, many Kenyans are questioning the operations' goals and its exit strategy from Somalia, pushed by worries about retaliation.
In neighboring Uganda, Al Shabab launched suicide bombings that killed at least 74 people, saying the attack was retribution for Uganda's military support of Somalia's government.

Sean Maher's role in "The Playboy Club" seems to have been tailor-made as a platform from which he could come out publicly as gay.
Not only is his character also named Sean, but he's a closeted gay man married to a lesbian bunny who helps organize an underground gay rights group.
In "A Matter of Simple Duplicity" (9 p.m. Oct. 3 on NBC), Sean, working as campaign manager for state's attorney candidate Nick Dalton (Eddie Cibrian), suggests that Nick hide his affiliation with the Playboy Club and his relationship with Bunny Mother Carol-Lynn in order to gain votes. He fixes Nick up with socialite Frances Dunhill (Cassidy Freeman), who has a secret of her own.
"I think it's interesting that Sean is trying to hide all these aspects of Nick's life," Maher told me. "He's making a living out of hiding [other people's secrets], which is what he does personally."
During lunch Wednesday at Markethouse restaurant, Maher repeated what his character said to Nick in last week's episode: "It doesn't matter who you are; it only matters what you portray." That line resonates with Maher because, until he came out in a Sept. 28 EW article, he had portrayed a very different image of himself for most of his 14-year acting career.
Although some friends, family members and even co-workers knew he was gay, he rarely brought up his personal life on set and never spoke out publicly about it. But now, the 36-year-old and Paul, his partner of nearly nine years, have two children, Sophia Rose, 4, and Liam Xavier, 14 months. The couple, who exchanged wedding rings their first Christmas together, wants to raise the kids without secrets.
"How could I tell my daughter, 'There's something about our family we've got to keep to ourselves'?" Maher said. "Everything that we're instilling in her is to have compassion and kindness and to be confident and to not judge and just to embrace who you are…
"I just wanted to be a good role model for my daughter."
Now Maher is happier than he's ever been both personally and professionally. "I feel really good about it," he said. "I'm so happy how it's turned out."
Maher's charade started when he moved to L.A. fresh out of New York University in 1997 and landed the coveted title role on Fox's drama "Ryan Caulfield: Year One." His publicist and manager at the time urged that he keep his sexuality a secret.
"I didn't sleep pretty much the entire season," he said, adding that he decided to stay in the closet because he thought being out would limit the jobs he might get and, in the case of that first job, that he would be fired. "I was petrified. I pictured the meeting with the Fox people: 'We cannot have a gay actor being the star of our show.'"
During that period, Maher moved in with an old friend from NYU where, incidentally, he was out. ("If you're not at least bi-curious [at NYU] there's something wrong with you," he joked.) His relationship with this friend in many ways mirrors that of his "Playboy Club" character and his wife, Bunny Alice.
Maher and his friend lived together in a one-bedroom apartment in West Hollywood. She knew he was gay—she was his last girlfriend when he was still "straight" in college—and would often accompany him to social events for work.
"She knew how hard I was struggling with it," he said, adding that the two still are close friends. "People just assumed that she was my girlfriend. It really was this façade that I let people believe."
By then Maher was deep in the closet, and like many closeted gay people he went to great lengths to keep from being found out. While filming the 2000 series "The Street," he would go out to bars with his co-workers and hit on women to keep the pretense alive. "I didn't even leave the character at work," he said.
Keeping his secret became so exhausting that by the time he started filming "Firefly," the 2002-03 Joss Whedon series for which he is probably best known, he subscribed to a belief that many closeted gay people do: It's much easier to keep your secret when you just don't socialize.
Maher avoided off-set contact with co-stars Nathan Fillion, Summer Glau, Morena Baccarin, Jewel Staite, Gina Torres and Alan Tudyk. Whedon called him the "aloof New York guy," Maher said, because between takes he would go off by himself and read the New York Times.
Although he only fully engaged with his co-stars while he was shooting his scenes, he said having the job to go to at such a trying time and being able to work with such an amazing group "kind of saved my life."
"I am so, so, so grateful for them; they really helped me get through this," he said. "I think of that as the worst time in my life because after all those years of hiding all this I genuinely felt like my soul was being chipped away."
After "Firefly" was canceled in December 2002, he decided to quit acting. He had been studying holistic nutrition and was considering moving to Maine to start a new life when, in April 2003, friends forced him to go to a "rather large gay event." (He tried so hard to avoid going that he pretended to have food poisoning.)
That night changed his life. He met Paul, who he says inspired him to stay in Hollywood and pursue his dreams. After they started dating, Maher slowed down professionally and began to relax. He reveled in his new relationship.
"I hadn't had that in my life for a really long time. It was so exhilarating and wonderful," he said. "He's an extraordinary person and I love him tremendously. Finally, for the first time in seven years I just focused a little more on my life."
When he shot the "Firefly" feature film, 2005's "Serenity," he came out to his co-stars—"A lot of them were not surprised," he said—and introduced them to Paul.
"Serenity" and 2006's "Wedding Wars"—a TV movie from gay producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, whom Maher calls his mentors—were two of the last projects he worked on before taking two years off to be a stay-at-home dad for Sophia. He calls that time "enlightening," and said he began thinking about coming out when he returned to work.
Then "The Playboy Club" came along.
"I got this part and it just seemed almost too perfect," he said of the Chicago-filmed series, for which he's been completely honest about who he is and happy with how it's helping his acting. "There's a sense a truth that I was missing that I hadn't had since I was 22 that I feel like now I'm starting to regain."
He's also thrilled with the response to his coming out last week.
"The response has been just extraordinary," he said, adding that he expected to get support from fans and co-stars, but not from so many other people in the industry. "A lot of casting directors and studio executives, a lot of people behind the scenes in our industry have reached out to me or my manager to say congratulations … and that they will only fight harder for me now."
Maher said he would be honored to become an advocate for the gay community and equality in general, but the biggest reason for coming out is for his family.
"I always say that my daughter has been my greatest teacher. She was such a strong part in all of this," he said. "She, of course, has no idea because she's 4. But if I could just explain to her the decision that I made [was for her], I hope that she would be proud of me."

LAPD's Rampart station evacuated following threat connected to officer-involved shooting [Updated]
The Los Angeles Police Department evacuated its Rampart Area station Tuesday after an envelope containing an unknown powder was found at the station.
The envelope contained a threat directed at one of the officers involved in the fatal shooting of a Guatemalan immigrant earlier this month in the Westlake District, according to sources familiar with the incident who asked not to be identified because the investigation is ongoing. The nature of the threat was not specified.
[Updated at 2:34 p.m.: Officials said they determined the white powder was not hazardous.]
Nearly a dozen people may have been exposed to the powder around 1 p.m. at the station at 1401 S. 6th Street, according to police officials.
Manuel Jamines was shot and killed Sept. 5 at the corner of 6th and Union Avenue after police said he advanced on officers with a knife.
The LAPD said that Jamines was threatening people before the fatal confrontation. Residents and the LAPD agree that Jamines was intoxicated at the time of the shooting and witnesses said he had a knife. Another witness has questioned that account and whether the man represented an imminent threat to the officers.
Los Angeles city prosecutors have said they expect to charge more than a dozen people in the series of street protests in the Westlake district related to the shooting.
