The last event was a HUGE SUCCESS! Over 220 people came through and had a great time, enjoyed free massage, reiki, energy work, tarot, tea, bubblies, potluck, and of course, made off with AWESOME CLOTHES. Everyone, including the men, all left with bags upon bags of fashionable goodies and fun costume wear!
This clothing exchange will be focused on clean, undamaged, fashionable, wearable items (for men and women).
- COSTUMES (if they've been worn to utter destruction, feel free to bring them, but they will not count toward your admission item total).
- SPRING and SUMMER garments (aside from costumes)! Please try to keep to the season requested so that we can build current, useful wardrobes for each other.
- KIDS clothes. For parents, there will be a separate table to swap kids clothes. However, these items will not count toward the entry item quota, so please come prepared with 20 of your own items. This table is simply for your benefit. ♥
There is an entire wall of mirrors available for trying on clothes if you don't mind being in the open. For those who like more privacy, there are private areas for both men and women to try clothes on.
"SAFE ZONES" - If items are on the stage, in the cubbies, or in the room marked "Safe Zone," they are OFF LIMITS. If you are seen "shopping" these areas, you will be asked to leave. You may leave your things/swap scores here, but at your own risk.
MOST ADVISED: leave as much as you can at home, leave your jacket in the car if possible, and go buy a fanny pack if you need to! Items may walk off, so keep them on you, in a safe place, or don't bring them at all. Thank you!
PLEASE SHARE THIS EVENT AND INVITE YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND COWORKERS! The more people we have involved, the better the selection and the more fun we will all have! ♥
DETAILS of ADMISSION:
- $10 cover with 20 items or more brought to exchange
- $20 cover with less than 20 items brought to exchange
- "Express Shopper" hours: Come between 3-5pm for half off admission cost. Item quota still applies.
- Children under the age of 10 = free with accompanying adult.
- Youth cover fee, ages 10 to 17 = half off admission

FREEBIES! There are free drinks, services, and more, but please remember to bring EXTRA CASH to tip the wonderful volunteers, bartenders, and service providers! ♥
Must be present to win.
Partial profits will be donated to OmCulture to better the space and give us all a place to encourage community events and involvement!
You're welcome to donate as much clothing as you'd like.
Each person will be allowed to take away 20 lbs of clothing/costumes. Why the limit? The event in January had no limit, and some people that came later felt there were not as many options. I want to make this fair for everyone to get a shot at incredible pieces.
All clothing left over will be donated to SightConnection, enhancing the abilities of people with vision loss to live active, independent lives (http://www.sightconnection.org/).

Got a radio show on our local community radio station and am getting more into the surf genre and being so far from the mainland it's been hard getting ahold of new/old material to put on air.

Tameka Foster to Usher: Sham Artist!
Kile Glover, the 11-year old son of Tameka Foster and stepson of music superstar Usher, was taken off life support and passed away on July 21, days after his inner tube was struck by a jet ski.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Journalist/editor Besher's first novel, falling somewhere among cyberpunk, Douglas Adams and "Buckaroo Banzai," has all the normal faults of amateurism and invents some of its own. Frank Gobi, professor of "transcultural corporate anthropology and organizational shamanism," a former "consciousness detective," is called in when Satori City, or "Virtualopolis," an online burg the size of Manhattan, crashes, stranding thousands of users, including Gobi's teenage son, Trevor. Behind the crash are the shenanigans of two Japanese megacorporations struggling over a Tibetan program, "Tantrix," that could make all of reality virtual. Gobi enters into virtuality to triumph over a virus that takes the form of Tibetan zombies and make the world safe for unreality. Along the way are irritating shifts in point of view, seemingly important characters who vanish, characters-including Gobi-who remain blanks, forced exposition, stilted dialogue, cliches, addled construction, and adolescent sexism. Frequent jokey uses of religious/mystical concepts, while sometimes adroit, are more often sheer gibberish. Besher has not given us a world in which mystical powers and high-tech/cyberscience can co-exist, never mind interact, and there is no internal logic here; Gobi does one impossible thing after another. Besher is clever, but this garbled, maladroit fiction remains a virtual novel at best.

From Library Journal
A savage corporate war results in the crash of the world's largest recreational virtual reality environment, stranding thousands of users in neural limbo. Dr. Frank Gobi, an experimenter on the fringe of psychic downloading, races against time to track down a rogue CEO and restore the system before the minds of those trapped inside are lost beyond recall. The author of The Pacific Rim Almanac (LJ 6/1/91) has envisioned a 21st century that will be born from the pairing of technological advances with Eastern mysticism. Sparkling prose, inventive plotting, and an engagingly self-deprecatory hero combine to produce a compelling sf thriller of the next century. A strong addition to sf collections.

However, the writing is absolutely, Bulwer-Lytton contest awful.
Some examples: "His hands caressed the globes of her derriere," "Their feet touched, and they smiled," "His finger traced the slippery third rail of her shaven..." well, you get the idea.
Besher has no ear for dialog, and the prose is what you would expect from a senior high school student in the first week of creative writing.
Mr. Besher, you have a lot of promise. Please, take a year to practice writing with a good teacher. Your stories will benefit greatly, and your readers will be able to experience your ideas more clearly and pleasantly.
For readers who would like similar stories, but with better writing, check out Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson or almost anything from William Gibson.
This is not a great example. The plot-idea is that part of the VR world is in danger of crashing and taking a lot of people with it (including the main character's son). But the book seems to start off slowly, some parts don't seem to make sense or click into place till you're halfway thru and tons of the novel seems to be tencho-babble. In fact, some parts seem to be just plain made up on the spot. I know reviewers sometimes say that, but in this case I mean it. It has sci-fi stuff and, yes, Japanese businessmen and gangsters and VR and drugs and space stations - I'm sure William Gibson would be very proud. But I happen to NOT like Mr. Gibson's style (and his work at least had some logic to it).
Add Chi and zombies and a main character who can do anything (and get the girls) and it seems more like the wishful thinking of a 90's geek high on Jolt or no-doze.
What scares me is he wrote a series of this books!
being extremely disappointed by it at the time.
As cyber-fiction goes it was average, but the
most lasting impression (on me anyway) was the
poor quality of the writing. I seem to remember having to put it down several times as a result of
some extremely prosaic or downright cliched
Now, if I had to say something positive to conclude, it would have to be "Read Excession by
Iain M. Banks"; That is genuinely original.

Reasonable hotels in Nairobi are difficult to find. Either they are the posh expensive ones or they are a bit grubby and not very nice. Unfortunately the ones that are a bit grubby and not so nice can still cost anything up to 100$ a night. The Progressive Park Hotel is reasonably priced, clean, and has nice spacious rooms with good bed, decent TV, and all other amenities including a fridge. This hotel is great for coming into or leaving Nairobi, as getting to the airport is alright especially early morning or late evening, and the best thing about it is that is next to one of the best malls in Nairobi, which gives lots of choices for food and shopping. So no need to talk about the hotel restaurant - there is lots of choice nearby if you don't like Indian vegetarian food.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Situated in the heart of Nairobi's business and leisure district (Westlands), Progressive Park Hotel boasts a host of very good amenities and services. The Westgate-Mall, Sarit-Centre and Ukay-Centre are within walking distance and provide great convenience to all guests.

Rangers 5, Royals 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—If his inconsiderate neighbor would just lose that noisy alarm clock, there's no telling how many home runs David Dellucci might hit.
The well-rested Texas outfielder hit two homers Friday night and helped power the Texas Rangers past the Kansas City Royals 5-3 for their seventh straight win.
Oddly, all three of his multihomer games this year have come away from home.
"I tend to sleep 'til noon when I go on the road. Maybe that's the trick," said Dellucci, whose 14 homers are a career-high. "Guy's got an alarm clock that goes off every morning at 8 o'clock at home. I've got to get up when that alarm clock goes off in the apartment next to me. It's horrible. I've beat on the wall and everything. And he lets it go for like an hour. So every morning at 8, I'm wide awake."
Kevin Mench added a three-run shot as the Rangers remained a half-game behind first-place Oakland the tight Al West race and tied with Boston for the wild-card lead.
Ryan Drese (11-6) won his fourth straight decision, a career best, allowing three runs and five hits in seven-plus innings. Drese is 7-1 in his last eight starts, and his 3.35 ERA is third in the league behind Oakland's Tim Hudson (2.95) and Minnesota's Johan Santana (3.23).
"He was throwing strikes and getting ahead of us," said Kansas City's David DeJesus, who had a single and a triple and scored a run. "He gets a lot of movement. Nothing is straight."
The Rangers got only four hits off rookie Mike Wood (2-5)—three homers and a single—and did not strand a single runner. Two men who were walked were erased on double plays.
"That's efficiency," Texas manager Buck Showalter said.
Francisco Cordero got three outs for his 38th save in 40 chances. The Rangers are one win shy of their longest winning streak this season, set from June 18-26.
Wood and Jaime Cerda combined on a four-hitter. Wood gave up five runs and four hits in 7 1-3 innings. The Rangers hit three homers for the third game in a row.
"They hit my mistakes," Wood said. "Instead of a double off the wall or a single here or there, they hit home runs. That's what that team does—they hit home runs."
Joe Randa hit an RBI single in the first, but Dellucci's fourth-inning homer — which came after Wood retired his first 10 batters—and Mench's drive in the fifth put Texas ahead 4-1.
DeJesus had an RBI grounder in the bottom half. Dellucci homered again in the sixth.
Ruben Gotay singled in a run off Carlos Almanzar in the eighth after a triple by DeJesus.
Before this year, Dellucci had never hit more than one homer in a game.
"I'm almost due on my lease," he said. "Maybe I'll stay in a hotel at home from now on."
The three-game series marks the only road games for the Rangers during a 19-game stretch. … Royals 2B Tony Graffanino is to undergo rotator cuff surgery next week and will miss the rest of the season. … The Rangers' Eric Young made his first professional start at third base.
- Fan almost falls from Chase Field stands at Home Run Derby
- Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza inducted into Hall of Fame
- Happ gets career-high 13th win, Blue Jays beat Mariners 2-0
- Yanks leave with win over Giants, unsure who will return
- Matz earns 1st win since May as Mets beat Marlins 3-0
- Nathan gets win in return to majors; Cubs beat Brewers 6-5

Innovation SpecialistContact Info
Short Biography
Dr. Sophia B Liu is an interdisciplinary Innovation Specialist at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) working with the Science and Decisions Center (SDC); the Mineral Resources Program (MRP); the Energy and Minerals, and Environmental Health (EM-EH) Mission Areas; and the Office of Enterprise Information (OEI). She worked at the USGS National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC), the St. Petersburg Coastal Marine Science Center, and the Energy, Minerals, and Environmental Health programs at the USGS National Center as a Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellow conducting research on crowdsourcing, citizen science, and civic hacking. Dr. Liu applies human-computer interaction (HCI) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) techniques to the fields of crisis informatics and earth science. She investigates the social and behavioral uses of information and communication technology (ICT) around disasters to inform the design of future crowdsourcing projects, citizen science, and civic hacking efforts that improve government services. She also explores the opportunities and challenges with integrating data from the general public and how data science is enabling the communication of information and science online in more interactive ways. Dr. Liu was also awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship in 2006. Her doctorate research at the University of Colorado at Boulder focused on the use of social media pertaining to historically significant crises and the emergence of socially distributed curation as a way of managing crisis information in the social media landscape. She has given numerous invited talks on the emerging use of social technology for emergency management and the rise of open innovation through crowdsourcing and citizen science. As an innovation specialist and user experience researcher, Dr. Liu investigates the Socio-cultural, Technological, Organizational, and Policy (STOP) interfaces that need to be redesigned to improve government services.

Cool image!!
Thanks Travis. I must admit, this one was a bit of an accident. I was lying on the grass trying out the features of my new camera. These birds were quite high and I was testing out the zoom. I didn't even notice the pelican until I uploaded my pics. But I've always thought it was cool too. Thanks for the comment. :o)

Nice Game
I enjoyed this game a lot.It's nice and awesome.But,are there sharks?or just alligators
Piranhas failed to amuse
Well first off you didn't even tell me how to play the game, huge minus. You didn't even bother to tell me "move over things rapidly back and forth to eat them". I spent the first few minutes of this game just trying to figure out the key to make my fish feed, and actually had to take a look at your "walkthrough" video just to figure out that much.
Not that it mattered since the game itself played like a blimp you painted green and drowned in water. Never have I seen a fish 'eat' and swim back and forth without physically changing direction, nor a fish have the elasticity to bounce farther out off a sandbar than he was initially.
And just leave the game now if you want a frame-rate beyond 12 or so, you won't get it. The game just can't process itself fast enough to look any better, no matter how low you put the graphics down. Level 3 was kind enough to tell me I had a boost feature: what they didn't tell me is that if I ever wanted to use it it would be on a 5 second delay from click to boost just due to the game's own shortcomings.
Unplayable. Just unplayable.
Good game but...
The thing is that there is no second boat and fish keeps going into the rocks and people disipear in the land
Just needs a little refinement
Very cool idea, just a couple of suggestions. As I saw in a couple of other reviews, I didn't always see a second boat in lvl 2 so that should be looked into.
Additionally, it would be nice to have the levels be selectable so that if I need/want to spend time leveling up my piranha I could pick a level that would be good for that. The last suggestion was looking at how eating fish works. I'd pass right over a fish and not eat it sometimes.
Good concept. But..
Its weird. My level 2 doesn't have two boats. Yet my requirement to do so NEEDS 2 boats. so I kept failing and failing. Is this some sort of bug?

Most plants show considerable capacity to adjust their photosynthetic characteristics to their growth temperatures. Such plastic adjustments allow the plants to perform efficient photosynthesis at their respective growth temperatures (Berry & Björkman 1980; Yamori, Noguchi & Terashima 2005).
When compared on a leaf area basis, plants grown at low temperatures tend to have greater amounts of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) and other enzymes for photosynthetic carbon metabolism than those grown at higher temperatures (Badger, Björkman & Armond 1982; Holaday et al. 1992; Hurry et al. 1995; Strand et al. 1999). Hence, the capacity of the enzymatic reactions at low temperatures increases. However, in such plants, photosynthetic performance at high temperatures is usually reduced. Thus, the temperature response curve shifts towards the lower temperature.
At moderately high temperatures, the low Rubisco activation state would be the primary cause of the decrease in the photosynthetic rate (Crafts-Brandner & Salvucci 2000, 2002; Sharkey et al. 2001; Salvucci & Crafts-Brandner 2004a,b; Haldimann & Feller 2004, 2005; Kim & Portis 2005). Because the Rubisco activation state is regulated by Rubisco activase, a nuclear-encoded stromal enzyme (for recent reviews, see Portis 2001, 2003; Spreitzer & Salvucci 2002), the decrease in Rubisco activation state at moderately high temperatures can be attributed to suppressed Rubisco activase activity (Salvucci & Crafts-Brandner 2004a,b). When the net photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence were examined at the same time with Antarctic hair grass (Deschampsia antarctica, Salvucci & Crafts-Brandner 2004b), creosote bush (Larrea tridentate, Salvucci & Crafts-Brandner 2004b), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum, Crafts-Brandner & Law 2000), oak (Quercus pubescens, Haldimann & Feller 2004), pea (Pisum sativum L., Haldimann & Feller 2005), spinach (Spinacia oleracea, Weis 1981) and strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo, Bilger, Schreiber & Lange 1987), the electron transport capacities were unaffected at moderately high temperatures where CO2 fixation rates decreased. The insensitivity of the electron transport capacity to moderately high temperatures was also supported by the measurements of metabolite levels with cotton and wheat (G. hirsutum and Triticum aestivum, Kobza & Edwards 1987; Law & Crafts-Brandner 1999; Crafts-Brandner & Law 2000). These results support the view that the suppression of Rubisco activase activity limits the photosynthetic rates at moderately high temperatures.
Recently, however, it has been reported that the decrease in the photosynthetic rate at moderately high temperatures may be caused by the limitation of the ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration capacity rather than by the low Rubisco activation state per se in leaves of Pima cotton (Gossypium barbadense) (Schrader et al. 2004; Wise et al. 2004). Cen & Sage (2005) showed parallel decreases in the Rubisco activation state and in the electron transport rate with the decrease in the net photosynthetic rate at moderately high temperatures in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), and suggested that the decrease in the Rubisco activation state at moderately high temperatures is regulated by the electron transport capacity. Therefore, the decrease in the Rubisco activation state may be a regulatory response to the limitation of one of the processes contributing to RuBP regeneration, including the damage to thylakoid reactions, as Sharkey (2005) pointed out. Although the primary mechanisms underlying the Rubisco deactivation at moderately high temperatures are still unclear, apparently, the Rubisco activation state eventually decreases at moderately high temperatures.
Temperature dependence of the RuBP carboxylation rate has been considered to vary little across different species and growth conditions, because the kinetic parameters of Rubisco are thought to be conservative (Badger et al. 1982; Brooks & Farquhar 1985; von Caemmerer 2000). According to the model of C3 photosynthesis, the initial slope [IS(Ci)] of the A − Ci curve, expressing the dependence of the light-saturated photosynthetic rate (A) on the intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), is an index of RuBP carboxylation activity (Farquhar, von Caemmerer & Berry 1980; von Caemmerer & Farquhar 1981). In recent studies, it has been shown that the optimum temperatures for IS(Ci) differ, depending on the growth temperatures (Hikosaka, Murakami & Hirose 1999; Bunce 2000; Yamori et al. 2005). For example, the optimum temperature for IS(Ci) in spinach leaves changed within only 2 weeks after the transfer to a lower growth temperature (Yamori et al. 2005). Although the temperature dependence of IS(Ci) is affected by the Rubisco activation state, these observations would indicate that the parameters of Rubisco kinetics differ depending on the growth temperature and contribute to the changes in the temperature dependence of the photosynthetic rate.
Huner & Macdowall (1979) showed that Rubisco purified from the low-temperature (LT) leaves (LT Rubisco) of Puma rye (Secale cereale L. cv. Puma) grown at 4/2 °C (day/night) had a higher apparent affinity for CO2 at lower temperatures than Rubisco purified from the high-temperature (HT) leaves (HT Rubisco) of plants grown at 25/20 °C. In contrast, HT Rubisco had a higher apparent affinity for CO2 at higher temperatures than LT Rubisco. However, in a later study, Huner (1986) found no significant effect of the growth temperature on the in vivo carboxylation efficiency in Puma rye leaves and concluded that the differences in the in vitro kinetics between HT and LT Rubisco were not important in the photosynthetic acclimation to the growth temperature. Because such studies have not been made for other species, it is still unclear whether Rubisco kinetics changes depending on the growth temperature. If the kinetics changes, the extent and importance in the photosynthetic acclimation should be quantified.
In this study, we examined whether temperature dependences of Rubisco activation state and in vitro Rubisco kinetics, two main factors potentially responsible for the changes in IS(Ci), changed depending on the growth temperature. We used spinach plants grown at 30/25 (HT) and at 15/10 °C (LT). In addition, we determined the effect of transfer HT plants to LT conditions. We measured net photosynthetic rate and Rubisco activation state in these leaves. With Rubisco purified from these leaves, we measured kinetic parameters such as the maximum rate of RuBP carboxylation (Vcmax) and the specificity factor (Sc/o), as well as the thermal stability. The effects of the differences in these parameters on the photosynthetic performance of spinach leaves were quantitatively evaluated.


text: Hi all, this one of my more recent teams. I've been working on it for a while now, and I'm very satisfied with my choice in Pokemon. It employs a strange strategy of dragon dance/baton passing to my dragony friends, while having some bulky mons prepared to stall out in the event of emergencies. My wins/losses rating sits roughly at 50/50. I'm not trying to swap Pokemon at this point, I'm just trying to fine tune movesets to get a better coverage. So rather than trying to explain the team in a nutshell, here they are: Smeargle @Focus sash Technician Jolly 252HP/4Sp.Def/252Speed Spore Dragon Dance Baton Pass Stealth Rock Smeargle is my lead, who sets up for the main strategy: a dragon dance boosted outrage festival! But more on that later. The focus sash ensures he'll never be OHKO'd immediately. His moveset is fairly straight-forward, but I've always felt like stealth rock was the odd move out. At the same time, I don't know what to swap it with. I've tried magic coat, and I never really noticed a difference. And basically, after the first baton pass, Smeargle will be too weak to last long. I considered adding destiny bond, but I realized that a weakened Smeargle probably wouldn't last long enough to perform the attack. Any advice on this move would be amazing! Salamence @Lum Berry Moxie Hasty 252Atk/4Sp.Atk/252Speed Draco Meteor Earthquake Fire Blast Outrage Salamence is an awesome dragon that unfortunately lives in the shadows of Haxorus and Hydreigon. I tend to switch between baton passing to 'Sally' and Gyrados depending on the opponent's team. Draco meteor is the move that stands out to me, as I rarely use it. For the most part, Salamence outrages himself to death, with a lum berry to snap itself out of confusion. Fire blast has been helpful against some steel types, but with Heatran as popular as he is, Salamence wouldn't really be my main choice of attack. On the other hand... Gyrados @Lum Berry Moxie Adamant 252HP/252Atk/4Sp.Def Dragon Tail Waterfall Outrage Ice Fang Gyrados would do just fine. Gyrados has another straight-forward set up. I really like dragon tail, as I've disrupted many strategies with it. Waterfall is just an awesome STAB to have - Heatrans and other fire types really hate this one! Ice fang is in there for defence against other dragons. Unfortunately, Gyrados will typically lose in a speed contest with other dragons. I may consider changing Ice fang to stone edge. Jellicent @Leftovers Cursed Body Calm 252HP/4SpAtk/252SpDef Pyschic Scald Recover Toxic Say what you want about gen 5, but I was always drawn to Jellicent for some reason. I've always managed to stall and drive my friends absolutely insane with Jellicent. So thus begins the stall portion of my team. In the unfortunate event that both dragons go down early, I will make my opponent's life more difficult with Jellicent, Breloom and Magnezone. Jellicent may need a shadow ball, though I'm not really sure which move to drop. But I realized the importance of this as I don't really have any ghost moves on this team. But Jellicent is built to last, and can withstand a barrage of attacks, especially while spamming recover. Breloom @Toxic Orb Poison Heal Impish 252HP/4Atk/252Def Dynamic Punch Bullet Seed Spore Leech Seed Honestly, I never really like Breloom, until I used him in a stall situation. Then I fell in love; poison heal and leech seed can drive any opponent crazy! And dynamic punch is a nice little addition, especially since it's the only fighting move I have. I realized that's a problem recently, so I need to figure out where I can squeeze another fighting move in. Finally, spore is awesome in tight situations. All in all, Breloom last long and usually can KO at least two enemies before going down. Magnezone @Leftovers Sturdy 252HP/4Def/252SpAtk Thunderbolt Hidden Power Ice Thunder Wave Signal Beam Last but not least is Magnezone, my steel dude that's full of surprises. Not only is he a good psychic killer with signal beam, HP ice usually does a nice bit of damage to the dragon types. He can also usually tank a few serious hits before falling. Magnezone has gotten me out of a lot of hairy situations, and really pulls the stall/wall aspect of my team together. So that's what I have for now. Any advice is appreciated. As I said earlier, I'm not here to change Pokemon; this is my team for now. Of course, I will be making others, but I enjoy the weirdness, and I look forward to your advice. Thanks all!

One problem with your comparison is that all of those consoles died because all of the consoles had to have the games developed for each individual console so that meant there were fewer (and lower quality) games for the consoles. With that there was no reason for anyone to buy the consoles or the games. This would be different since all games have the potential of running on all devices so it is just a choice on what one you pick and having the access to the entire library. It is just like …

Before any agreement can be achieved, Obama and Boehner must deal with the challenges of calming the bases of their parties.
A Balancing Act
Dan Schnur is the director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at the University of Southern California. He was the communications director for John McCain's 2000 presidential campaign.
Updated February 22, 2011, 7:23 PM
If President Obama and John Boehner, speaker of the House, were locked in a room together for the next two weeks, it's reasonable to assume that the two of them would forge an agreement that averted the need for a government shutdown.
Representative Boehner is experienced enough to remember the damage a similar standoff in 1995 caused for congressional Republicans. The president is savvy enough to understand that those circumstances had more to do with the personalities of Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich than any inherent advantage or disadvantage for one party or the other in this type of showdown. Both men know there's a middle ground that results in a compromise on spending cuts and lays the groundwork for an adult conversation on reining in entitlement costs. Both also realize that the most likely fallout of an extended stalemate is more political pain than either one of them wants to bear.
But before such an agreement can be achieved, the president and the speaker must first deal with the challenges of calming the bases of their respective parties.
Longtime liberal Democrats will fiercely resist spending reductions even well below the amount passed by the House last weekend. Conservative freshmen Republicans will fight hard against any attempts to restore those cuts. Both parties incorrectly believe that the other side will be disproportionately blamed for a shutdown and will push with all their might to keep their leaders from compromising. Both Mr. Obama and Mr. Boehner must find a way to resist the political cross-pressures and bring together an agreement in the last days before the deadline.
That sort of balancing act would be a difficult feat for even the most adroit of politicians and the most inspirational of leaders with a much more forgiving calendar. But mollifying a motivated and aggrieved congressional battalion is also an extremely time-consuming challenge.
If the government does close in two weeks, it won't be because either President Obama or Representative Boehner decided they would benefit from a full-on brawl with the enemy. It will be because they run out of time to sooth their best friends.

Temple Owls senior middle linebacker Stephen Johnson was named Mid-American Conference Eastern Division Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in the Owls' 42-14 win over the Army Black Knights. Johnson had a career-high 16 tackles, including eight solo tackles--also a career best.
The award is Johnson's third of his career, all coming this season. Johnson has a team-high 99 tackles, 34 more than any other Owl, in addition to two forced fumbles and five pass breakups. This is the fourth double-digit tackle game this season (and career) for Johnson, who also had 16 at Ball State while getting 11 each against Bowling Green and Maryland.
The Temple defense held Army's number-one ranked rushing attack to just 96 yards in the first half of Saturday's game as the home team jumped out to a 28-0 lead in the first 30 minutes. Safety Kevin Kroboth, another senior, added 12 tackles, including a game-high 11 solo.
While the Black Knights did finish the game with 340 yards rushing, Owls head coach Steve Addazio said that the Owls had moved both safeties back, allowing Army to gain yards slowly, wasting the clock and ensuring a Temple victory. The method worked, as Army needed over eight minutes to score their first touchdown and left too little time on the clock to come back on Temple.
Temple (7-4, 4-3 MAC) plays Kent State (5-6, 4-3) in their final game of the regular season at noon on Friday, November 25 at Lincoln Financial Field. The seniors will be honored on-field prior to the game.
