Skip to comments.The Myth of the 'Values Voters'
Posted on 12/14/2006 8:37:44 PM PST by neverdem
The Republicans handed libertarian votes--and the elections--over to the Democrats.
At the Democrats official election night party in Washington, D.C., all eyes were on Floridafor about 10 seconds. At 8 p.m. network exit polls confirmed that Rep. Katherine Harris, for this crowd the arch-villain of the 2000 election, was lopsidedly losing her bid for a Senate seat. The partygoers cheered the news. Then they turned their attention to races that carried at least a whiff of suspense.
They shouldnt have dismissed Florida so quickly. Less than two years earlier, the Sunshine State had shown the first symptoms of the malady that would defeat the GOP in races from California to New Hampshire. Republicans had convinced themselves that socially conservative values voters were the key to maintaining and extending their power. It was in Florida that the strategy started to crumble, reminding any politician who cared to listen that a lot of voters just want the government to leave them alone.
The town of Pinellas Park, not far from Harris old House district, contains the hospice where Terri Schiavo died. The battle between the brain-damaged womans parents, who wanted to keep her on life support, and her husband, who wanted to remove it, had bubbled up into Floridas Republican-controlled legislature before. But in March 2005, emboldened by the GOPs 2004 victories, Tom DeLays House and Bill Frists Senate elbowed into the controversy. President Bush broke off a stint in Crawford, Texas, to sign emergency legislation to keep the feeding tube attached.
It was one of the worst political miscalculations of the decade. Immediately after the Schiavo push, approval numbers for Bush and his party started to plummet. Polls showed not just Democrats but Republicans and independents opposed to the Schiavo intervention. Republicans responded by assuming the polls were wrong. The country had re-elected them, hadnt it? Of course voters were foursquare behind the idea of legislatively re-attaching a feeding tube to a brain-dead woman.
The presidents ratings reeled into the 40s, then the 30s, and never really recovered. The numbers for the GOP Congress fell even further. And on election night, voters turned out the most socially conservative Congress in decades while taking a two-by-four to socially conservative initiatives in the states. A ban on all abortions was defeated in South Dakota. Missouri legalized stem cell research. And while seven states passed gay marriage bans, Arizona became the first state ever to reject one. In most of the states where the bans did passSouth Carolina and Idaho being the exceptionsvoters elected Democrats to major statewide offices anyway. The ballyhooed effect of gay marriage bans on conservative turnout, credited by some for George W. Bushs 2004 victory in Ohio, fell utterly flat.
These defeats wouldnt have come as a surprise if not for the consensus, minted hours after the 2004 polls closed, that Republicans were building a permanent majority on the backs of conservative evangelicals. The TV networks exit poll showed 22 percent of voters naming moral values as the key to their ballots. In the hands of a Republican caucus defined by the born-again Tom DeLay in the House and the big-government conservative Rick Santorum in the Senate, this was a mandate; it encouraged them to indulge their invasiveness on privacy and other civil liberties issues. The party didnt just support national ID cards and warrantless wiretaps. With impunity, it campaigned against Democrats for opposing those measures.
Early in the 2006 cycle, Democrats spotted the opening theyd been given. They recruited candidates for every Republican seat in districts that had voted for John Kerry over George W. Bush, and they started to criticize the conduct, and sometimes the very fact, of the Iraq war. They got multiple adrenaline boosts from the GOPs scandals, starting with the corruption allegations against DeLay, which the leadership took pains to overlook until he was actually indicted. They maintained leads as the incumbents cupped their hands over their eyes and ears and refused to consider any shifts in their approach to Iraq.
That strategy ended on November 7, with the defeat of many hot-button ballot measures and with heavy losses in House, Senate, and state races. The liberal Northeast was scrubbed almost clean of Republicans: From Pennsylvania through Maine, the Democrats picked up nine or 10 House seats. (At press time, one race in Connecticut was going to a recount.) And the rout continued in the Midwest and the Plains. Four years earlier Kansas had elected an ultra-conservative attorney general named Phill Kline, who used the power of his office to snoop into the medical records of patients at abortion clinics. He was crushed, 58 percent to 42 percent, by a Republican who switched parties to challenge him. And while Kline went down, Republicans lost an eastern Kansas House seat in a district that had voted for Bush over Kerry by 20 points.
There were lessons in the races the Republicans did win too. In the Mountain West, Republican candidates had their margins slashed dramatically. Idahos 1st District, which gave Bush 70 percent of its vote, handed only 50 percent to a doctrinaire conservative. Wyomings sole House seat gave its Republican incumbent a win by less than 1 percentage point. In state after state, Republican support plunged.
The libertarian West, Hotline Editor Chuck Todd wrote in a post-election column, is a region that is more up for grabs than it should be. And its because the Republican Party has grown more religious and more pro-government, which turns off these leave me alone, small-government libertarian Republicans.
The decline isnt entirely the Republicans fault. They just created an opening for their opponents to exploit. The Democrats in the libertarian West, tenderized by the wipeouts of the 1990s, reassessed their positions on the Second Amendment, public land, and taxes, and reintroduced themselves to voters. In the Bush years, they gave stronger support to civil liberties than most of their Republican competitors. At one Montana debate, GOP Sen. Conrad Burns lambasted Democrat Jon Tester for wanting to weaken the PATRIOT Act. Tester shot back that he didnt want to weaken it: I want to repeal it. Tester won the election.
Of course, the PATRIOT Act isnt a social issue. Thats part of the point. The Bush-Rove iteration of the Republican Party, with its tight focus on social issues and its coordination with religious groups to turn out votes, fell dramatically short with an electorate for whom other subjects had more salience. In future elections, that skeptical segment of the country will only grow larger. The libertarian states of Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada are growing as the Deep South and the Rust Belt stagnate. And young professionals in Republican killing fields like Virginia and Ohio are getting more socially liberal, not less.
Election-night spinners tried to argue that the new congressional class consists of conservative Democrats. But while the newly elected Democrats include several relatively libertarian supporters of the Second Amendment, even their most conservative members, such as Pennsylvanias senator-elect Bob Casey Jr., support the morning-after pill and some stem cell research.
The GOPs fundamentalist myopia, combined with its sorry record on spending and corruption, has made Grover Norquists Leave Us Alone Coalition a bloc thats up for grabs. In Norquists formulation, the coalition includes taxpayers who want the government to reduce the tax burden, property owners, farmers, and homeowners who want their property rights respected. Voters like these are now willing to entertain alternatives to a Southern-dominated, religious GOP.
They proved that in Pennsylvania, where Casey felled Rick Santorumthe only senator who actually flew down to Florida to join the Pinellas Park circusin an 18-point landslide. On Election Day, the Philadelphia Inquirer found a voter willing to explain why Santorum lost. I dont know what happened to him, said Roby Lentz, a Republican. He quit representing me when he showed up at Terri Schiavos bedside.

GOP Is Losing Its Libertarian Voters
Libertarianism in One Country - On the Brink and beyond.
hmm... And here I thought Liberaltarians were only 2% of the electorate.
Well, let's say that values voters represent maybe 60% of the Republican base and libertarian voters represent maybe 10%.
Do you think Republicans can win by p*ssing off the values voters? I don't.
I think it's correct to say that the Democrat sweep was brought about partly be libertarian defections. Frankly, they were STUPID, with a capital S.
There's no way that conservatives can form a majority coalition unless the fiscal conservatives get together with the right to lifers and religious conservatives and agree to support each others' bottom lines. Otherwise, frankly, they will hand the country over to the Democrats.
As a religious conservative, I'm perfectly happy to support tax cuts and budget cuts. Are libertarians prepared to reciprocate and agree that we need judges who will throw out Roe v. Wade, even though most libertarians probably like the idea of free sex without much restraints? But if they want their tax cuts, they will have to support the bottom line issues of the religions conservatives. And they might consider also that Roe v. Wade was bad constitutional law, passed by powerdrunk liberal justices. Put it back with the states where it belongs.
They gain nothing by going off in a snit and letting the Democrats take over the country because they are too stupid to see where their own advantage lies--in a cooperative coalition of conservatives, giving up on less important matters if necessary in order to get what is most important to them.
Excellent post. Thank you.
"It (trying to save Terry Schiavo) was one of the worst political miscalculations of the decade."
No hyperbole there. If libertarians think they are better served by Democrats, they have a rude shock coming. Was it really sooooooo terribly hard for libertarians to compromise with the social conservatives to try and save someone, like Terri Schiavo? Is that really asking too much? I hope not. Libertarians and "values voters" have much more in common than libertarians and Democrats. We are, for the most part, on the same team.
Well put Cicero!
So how come the libertarian Republicans fared the worst?
The Schiavo incident was a debacle because it was a pre-ordained defeat. It didn't enliven "values voters"; quite to the contrary the message was: "We'll put on a show for you guys because we have to, but let the rest of the world know we find you a tiresome burden." It stank of craven, cynical and incompetent pandering, just like the Senate impeachment trial of Bill Clinton.
sure, because what good is having your cake if you can't eat it too, right? we're unimportant, but to blame? stick it.
Minor point: She was not brain dead and no one claimed that she was. She was brain injured and now she is just plain dead. The valid point in this analysis is that many of the "swing voters" are people who want the government out of their lives. If that is what they want, they made a big mistake in 2006.
dangus wrote: "The Schiavo incident was a debacle because it was a pre-ordained defeat."
Agreed, but it was hardly one of the worst political miscalculations of the decade. I doubt very, very few voters even considered it during the election.
I wouldn't call them that. They typically were described as moderates or centrist RINOs, like Jim Leach, author in the House of the ban on Internet gambling, IIRC.
Even values voters expect an agenda, I imagine.
The real question, the one lost between the socialists who look forward to making life and death decisions and the religious zealots, was is how the government decided Schiavo's wishes. I didn't think libertarians would favor that decision being made by a judge, using such things as a pollster, a priest who had never met Schiavo but commented on the depths of her faith and hearsay.
The Republicans didn't err in intervening, they erred in not articulating the constitutional rights that were assaulted. The question was who has the right to decide, not what was decided.
More likely, especially in marginal races, the shift was brought about by a portion of multi-millions of Legal and Illegal Aliens VOTING..
The success of that is and will be noticed more by democrats than republicans..
2008 awaits (Jaws Theme).. Republican denial on this is a gross delusion..
No forgiveness required. The mantra obviously failed to convince. However, I think we will, in fact, see serious 2nd amendment assaults, activist judges who will uphold unjust affirmative action policies and a further expansion of eminent domain. I agree that voting republican is not as joyful as in times past. But you may be more enthusiastic next time around.

Libertarian4Bush wrote: "stick it."
A bit more civility would go a long way toward healing the party (if not making discussions here more enjoyable). As I mentioned before, libertarians and social conservatives probably share similar opinions on 90% of the issues and only disagree on 10%. I'm a dreaded religious fundamentalist, but I'd rather let a libertarian smoke a joint (under Oregon's medical marijuana law, for example) than use the federal government to strong arm them.

Those are some rather impressive American Conservative Union ratings for libertarian Republicans.
True. I should've referred to them as those opposed to the Republican Party's social policies.
Denial is not a river in Egypt.
I agree. I'm so sick of these political theatrics.
"they erred in not articulating"
They erred in not articulating anything. Period. Republicans, at least those who are conservative, wrongly assume that truth and what is right is apparent to most. They forget that most of the American public no longer knows right from wrong because we now have 2 generations of moral relativists.
I read an opinion piece this week on President Bush being the worst president in American history. What the Associated Press journalist who wrote the piece will refuse to recognize is that President Bush has overseen the worst, most ignorant, nastiest citizenry in American history.
I don't agree with the President on some issues, but in considering the mentality of the voters themselves, I really fear for this country.
ndt wrote: "So forgive me if the "democrats are going to be worse" mantra falls a little flat."
I think that's an excellent point. I'm old enough to remember this country under Democrat control. However, many voters were children or not even born during the reign of Tip O'Neill. And, we older voters COULD be mistaken. The Democrats might do a good job, but I'm highly skeptical. The point is, the argument that "Democrats are going to be worse" is not one that means much to many voters. The Republicans needed to give voters something worth voting for than simply claiming the other party was worse.
Thanks for the ratings & links.
Uh...it appears to have worked rather well for the Democrats.
I guess the libertarians have no interest in stopping murder. Protecting Schiavo was not supposed to be a political calculation, it was supposed to be stopping a murder - some call that good government, you can call it political if you like. The worst part was how half-a$$ed the republicans acted in the Schiavo matter!
ndt wrote: "Despite the historical alliances, the value voters and the libertarians really do not have that much in common."
Not true at all! As a religious fundamentalist who associates with other, very conservative Christians, I can tell you we share a great deal with the libertarians. Our differences are very minor. Please don't fall into the MSM depiction of religious fundamentalists as people who want to use the power of the federal government to force everyone to submit to our religion. I'm sure a very, very small minority of Christians would try it, but the vast majority of us believe in letting you make religious decisions for yourself. That gay-bashing church everyone constantly hears about in the news is NOT representative of 99.99% or more of Christians (they aren't even Christian in my book). If you doubt me, attend some Bible-believing churches and see for yourself if they put their faith in government over God.
I do too.
Well, I for one am so glad that there haven't been any more Terri Schiavo type cases in the nation since Terri died, or at least I think that no one has had their life support pulled since then, 'cause surely all those politicians and media people would have been all over those cases too just like they did in Terri's case.
Dolphy wrote: "The real question, the one lost between the socialists who look forward to making life and death decisions and the religious zealots, was is how the government decided Schiavo's wishes."
The religious "zealots" were also aware of the issue of how the government decided to follow Schiavo's wishes. Just because we feel it's morally wrong to murder someone (that's what it was if she didn't want to be killed), doesn't mean we don't also understand the political implications of "right to die" cases. We DO have the capability to think beyond simply quoting the Bible.
Getting back to the article...what difference does it make if I wanted to save Terri because I thought killing her was morally wrong, and you wanted to save her because of the political implications?
I agree. I am a Libertarian - the 100%, card carrying, stay-off-my-lawn type. I vote a Libertarian/Republican ticket, and likely always will. Democrats have none of my values in common with me. I should know, my sister is a card carrying-Democrat.
They didn't, RINOs did, on the whole. In fact, libertarians now occupy more seats in local municipalities than we ever have. Moderate principles lose elections, that's the way things work - No one wants a candidate who can't decide where they are. And RINOs are in no way adherent to Libertarian priciples. Economically strong and socially strong conservatism wins elections.
LOL you thought wrong.
Social issues should be fought at the state/local level. The 2008 election is all about economic & foreign policy conservatism. The GOP needs to return back to it's Calvin Coolidge economic roots and McKinley's muscular foreign-policy pro-American approach.
Oh really?
Gonna leave Conservatives behind?
Good luck Ross.
Speaking as a 'l'ibertarian, I would have a lot more reason to support the Republican party if we had ever seen any of those phantom budget cuts. Ironically from a budget perspective we seemed to do the best with a Republican congress and a democrat in the White House. Not that I'd want to go back to the days of the assault weapons ban and selling our nuclear secrets to the Chinese, but it would be very nice to see more welfare reform and spending cuts.
I think that's the real reason the Republicans lost. After decades of promising to cut the size of government, when they finally controlled both houses of congress and the presidency they did exactly the opposite and expanded it like European socialists.
Limit gov't & put American interests ahead instead of globalists. Then the social issues will take care of themselves.
Luis Gonzalez wrote: "Uh...it appears to have worked rather well for the Democrats."
Agreed, but I don't agree with you (from your previous posts on other threads) that the Republicans need to sacrifice conservative goals in order to appeal to the moderates. The Republicans need to articulate why conservatism is much better for this country. I believe small government IS better, but the problem is, IMHO, many Republican leaders don't. I suspect the moderates would have voted Republican if they had something worth voting for. Saying Democrats are worse is NOT an effective way to win elections. Take just one issue, Social Security. What rational person wouldn't prefer a reform that gives you the OPTION of owning your own retirement funds, guarantees you'll never have less than what the present program pays, and promises no changes for existing recipients who don't want to participate? THAT is something that should sell very well to conservatives and moderates.
BTW, I'm not saying you are wrong for wanting to compromise on the issues. I think many conservatives would just like to see a few issues actually swing our way when we vote for people who profess to support us. It's not like a ban on partial birth abortion, for example, was all that earth shattering, or do you think we were reaching too far?
DaveyB wrote: "The worst part was how half-a$$ed the republicans acted in the Schiavo matter!"
Agreed. If any of them truly thought it was murder, they basically stood by and let it happen. Rather than take a stand, they tried to pawn it off on the judicial system, and the judges weren't interested in playing.
My point was simply that libertarians who wanted to save Terri because they thought her opinion in the matter (right to die) wasn't clearly established, effectively wanted the same result as social conservatives who wanted to save her for moral reasons. In other words, we are natural allies against the liberals, but you wouldn't know it from reading many of the posts in these threads.
I hope you aren't taking offense where none was intended. I most certainly don't consider all of those who defended her right to live a zealot or incapable of considering the constitutional questions that were raised.
arderkrag wrote: "I should know, my sister is a card carrying-Democrat."
My sympathies. It's funny how nearly every extended family has one.
Frankly, people who demand spending cuts in wartime strike me as brain dead.
You obviously don't get it. Most Libertarians do not belong to the LP or any other political party. They comprise a large swath of voters who just want the government to stay out of their lives. You know, the large swath of voters that told the GOP to take a hike.
Have fun getting elected with out us.
You need us more than we need you. Bush is perhaps the most pro-life President in modern political history and abortion is still around. Do you think by running solely on social issues the GOP can win? Look, tell the party bosses to stop putting so much emphasis on abortion and gay marriage. We know the GOP is pro-life and defenders of the family. Do they have to make it a central issue all the time?
The GOP needs to focus on the meat-and-potatoes for now. Once people have money and the economy's booming the social issues will take care of themselves.
EEE wrote: "Social issues should be fought at the state/local level."
I bet a majority of Americans, myself included, agree. It's the liberals who believe in a living Constitution (meaning, we'll interpret it to mean whatever we want).

Could the "Zoom Zoom" automaker start making hybrids that go "glug glug glug"? Mazda, known for its fuel-efficient Skyactiv engine line, will be the first Japanese automaker to make a diesel-hybrid vehicle for Japan and Europe.
2014 Mazda6 Skyactiv-D: LA 2012
Will Mazda sell diesel hybrids in Japan in 2016?
- Danny King

Mazda6 diesel delayed until April
- Brandon Turkus
- Sep 13, 2013
Diesel enthusiasts waiting on the new Skyactiv-D-powered Mazda6 will have to wait a bit longer. The shapely fuel-efficient four-door has just had its North American launch pushed back to April, due to delays in emissions testing. Mazda had originally planned to launch the Mazda6 diesel before the end of this year, making the four- to five-month delay a rather serious one.
Mazda Skyactiv wins inaugural Green Car Technology Award in DC
- Sebastian Blanco
- Jan 31, 2013
At previous Washington Auto Shows, Green Car Journal has handed out what it called the Green Car Vision award to honor green vehicles that were not yet on the market. Vehicles like the Ford C-Max Energi, Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt were all winners there. Now that the market has a fair number of green cars, Green Car Journal is shifting focus and today named the first Green Car Technology Award winner, the Mazda Skyactiv system.
Diesel-powered Mazda6 going racing in Grand-Am Series
- Jeffrey N. Ross
- Nov 30, 2012
The diesel version of the 2014 Mazda6 won't be hitting North American showrooms until the middle of next year, but we won't have to wait that long to see the car in action. Mazda will enter its midsize sedan in the new Grand-Am GX class with a Skyactiv-D clean diesel engine under the hood, and the car will make its racing debut at the Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 26. This will be the first time in the race's 60-year history that a diesel-powered car has competed in the 24-hour race.
Mazda announces diesel engine for Mazda6, larger 2.5L for CX-5

As we reported earlier, Mazda is making some waves at the 2012 LA Auto Show by announcing the 2014 Mazda6 sedan will bow with a 2.2-liter clean-diesel engine under its hood in North America. The Skyactiv-D engine will show up on the option sheet after the Mazda6 sedan goes on sale in January with its 2.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine. The move makes Mazda the first Japanese manufacturer to offer a diesel engine in the mid-sized segment in the US (the Volkswagen Passat also offers one), and

HealthVaulth: mHealth Heavy Weight
Several years ago Google Health was developing a personal health record. It failed to attract much interest due to consumer apathy and lack of interoperability with electronic medical records and an inability to download information from the clinic EMR.
About the same time, Microsoft developed Microsoft Health Vault. It has languished in a torpor until now. Microsoft has entered the mhealth zone, with 'Surface", "Windows Phone" and Windows 8 Microsoft. These are all based upon Windows 8 GUI, which features large icons, a simple main menu and touch screen functionality.
The early edition of Microsoft Health Vault was tied to the desktop or laptop until very recently.
Microsoft has correctly read the marketplace, albeit very late. They finally came to the table with Windows 8RT, and Windows 8 Professional as well as a well designed tablet, Surface.
Microsoft also recognized the exit from desktop and fixed locations. The transition to mobile should empower and engage patients to get their healthcare from where they are, at work, in the car, or even outside.
Health Vault in the past several years has attracted many to the platform, laboratories, pharmacies, health and wellness, remote monitoring and more.
What can you do with HealthVault?
Microsoft HealthVault is a free web-based platform that enables patients to collect, store, and share their health information, without charge.
Prepare for an emergency
Use HealthVault to make your most important health info available
Browse the App Directory
Browse the Device Directory
Pulmonary Flo-meter Pulse Oximeter
There are now several hundred mobile and remote sensing devices which interface directly with Microsoft's Health Vault. There is easy access to information and the ability to purchase apps and devices. All of this is designed to be patient-centric and user friendly, HIPAA compliant and requires authentication for secure transmission of data.
Microsoft Health Vault SDK provides a software developers toolkit for developing applications.
HealthVault-connected apps are websites, computer software, and mobile apps that can help you get more out of—and put more into—HealthVault.
You can choose apps to help you stay motivated, analyze trends, and receive education and recommendations to keep you at your best. And it is designed for the rapidly growing niche of mobile applications, available almost anywhere.
It is a welcome addition to the PHR market.
The most interesting part is the list of devices for remote monitoring and health and wellness .
Microsoft even has social media engagement for many of their products.
Empowering Patients
Health Vault in Action
If you're like most people you just don't want to sit there and enter your health records into a personal health records..Well, now there is a cure for that as well. Unival PHR is a service for obtaining your records from wherever they may be.
yourPHR, part of the yourHealth suite of services, offers three solutions for getting your medical information into HealthVault. Choose one or all of the following:
- Full data conversion of your medical records by a trained, experienced nurse abstractor
- Direct import of organized, scanned documents
- An online interface to complete specific aspects of your personal health record such as demographics, insurance information, etc.

Create a Wordpress Template
- Status Closed
- Budget $250 - $750 AUD
- Total Bids 71
Project Description
This is a blog about a journey through Australia to find how different people live in various environments.
This blog has two purposes. A) to document a variety of people 'from squats to mansions', in various settings 'the bush to the sea' in their own words and b) my personal experience in engaging with these people in these environments.
This is being driven by my passion of this country, its epic landscapes and its weird and wonderful inhabitants.
Down the track, I want this blog to essentially be a book with a profile photo of the person (or persons) in their environment, with a caption of their quotes. I will be learning how to use a digital SLR to use these photos for the wordpress blog and hopefully, book.
I hope the viewer sees a far more diverse view of this country, in its environment, people and lifestyles (by choice or otherwise) than may be otherwise shown by mainstream media, as essentially this is a journey.
I don't yet have any files to add, as the photos and interviews will begin in one months' time. In June & July I will travel through the desert (Sydney - Adelaide - Alice - Darwin). I will continue the journey later in the year or next year.
I am thinking of posting partial interviews on youtube with ads to attract some funding to continue the journey.
Photos will be a big part of the blog. Videos perhaps less so but as mentioned above, possibly on youtube.
I am very keen to get advice on bringing this idea together and getting the blog up asap, so I can attract people to meet with and document. I will also be setting up a twitter account, as it was advised to me.Get free quotes for a project like this

Reined Cow Horse
I'm trying to get started in reined cowhorse. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who's involved in it. How did you get started? Advice for rookies,etc. I'm also going to try to post a video of Banjo his second time working on a cow. You're welcome to critique us as well.
I have found that reiners make much much better reined cow horses then cutters do. They have a good handle they listen well and since most of what you do at the affiliate level is what a reiner is already doing they excel at is with very little additional training.

Ok, I wore my ds alot when he was little. We took the bus everywhere and slinging him was so much easier, and I really felt for the babies in carriers. I occassionally wear dd, it doesn't really fit our lifestyle or her, but if I need to,I will. So, my ds has been exposed to various carriers his entire life.
Recently, he has started wearing his animals and babies. After I put his jacket on he says "Baby wants in my jacket" and has me help him sip it up around the baby, with the baby facing out. I wish I had a pic, but I don't right now. I will soon and then link it. It is the most adorable and creative thing he has come up.
So, what size do I make a sling for him to use?

Great!!! That's what I was looking for: Dimensions. I made my own wraps and slings, for the most part. Those are the best, I think.

THE TERM lone venturer suited Don Allum perfectly. He was a shy, unpretentious man whose modesty marked down his own achievements as the first man to row the Atlantic in both directions.
On leaving school at the age of 17, Allum joined the merchant marine as a steward. The next seven years were spent serving on P & O liners, mostly in the Far East. In 1960 he was called for National Service and enlisted as a private with the 2nd Battalion, the Royal Green Jackets (King's Royal Rifle Corps). Although he turned down the opportunity for officer training, saying he did not want responsibility, army life suited him and he stayed with the Green Jackets for nine years, serving in Penang, Munster and Berlin. He was a private when he left the Army in 1969.
He did not fit into civilian life easily and for the next two years drifted from job to job, often in the building trade and nearly always unskilled. In 1969 his young cousin Geoff Allum confided in him that he wanted to be the first man to row the Atlantic alone. Days later the news broke that John Fairfax had completed a solo row east to west across the Atlantic. A few days after that, more news: Tom McLean had completed a very fast solo row across the Atlantic, the 'cold route', west to east in 70 days. Perhaps it was knowing about McLean's military background that fired his imagination. He immediately suggested to Geoff that they row the Atlantic together, both ways.
On 26 March 1971, after 73 days at sea, they rowed their boat, the dory QE3, into Harrison Point in Barbados. At last Don had found, quite by chance, a direction for his life. While the relationship between the cousins was close it was Geoff Allum who bought the boat, fitted out and provisioned her. It was Geoff who learnt to navigate and knew how many tins of sausage and beans were on board. But at sea Don came into his own; he was tough and tenacious and once engaged on a project, only at the last would he ever let go.
With the first part of the 'both ways' project successfully completed, the next voyage, in June 1972, was from St John's, Newfoundland, across the Atlantic to the west coast of Ireland. It started well enough but after three days Geoff was taken off by a passing oiltanker suffering from hypothermia and chronic seasickness. Don carried on; Geoff tells of seeing this small figure waving to him from QE3 before he was swallowed up by the fog. Don carried on for 76 days in freezing conditions. For 36 days he had head winds and was pushed back towards Newfoundland. On the night of the 75th day, QE3 was swamped by a large wave. He lost the oars, most of his food and all his spare clothes. He had disobeyed one of the fundamental rules of the sea, 'If it moves tie it down.' Luckily for him he was picked up the next day by a passing ship.
After a break of 14 years, and at the age of 48, Don Allum set off in 1986, again from the Canary Islands, to row the Atlantic, this time alone. He had planned for 100 days at sea, but after 60 the weather became calmer and hotter, bringing with it the big problem for rowers on this route - thirst. He decided not to ration himself, and so weaken himself, but to push on and get there before his water ran out. He ran out completely on day 101. On day 107, thinking he might not make it, he wrote a poignant last letter to his family. On the 113th day, with his hearing and eyesight failing, he landed on the island of Nevis; he had lost six stone in weight. The physical effects of that voyage stayed with him for the rest of his life.
In June 1987 Allum set off on his last voyage and in September arrived at Dooagh on Achill Island, County Mayo, in Ireland. It had been a tough voyage for a 49-year-old, but he was the first person to row the Atlantic both ways.
After the excitement died down and Don Allum had returned to his flat in Heston, west London, Geoff Allum got him a job as night watchman at the advertising agency where he worked. It suited him well, he had a degree of notoriety around the agency for his exploits and would with a little push recount them. He was proud of his achievements; they gave him the means to express himself. In the last few months of his life the privations of the 1986 crossing returned and he suffered ill-health.
Don Allum never did learn to navigate in the conventional way, rather he used a small AM radio as a direction-finder, and dead reckoning. During the 1986 trip he forgot to take any charts and made a chart from memory. Using this and his radio he navigated his way across the ocean.
He was a fatalist, and lived by a remark of Captain Scott, 'We took risks, we knew we took risks and things came out against us. Therefore we have no cause for complaint.'

Daniel 2:14-23New King James Version (NKJV)
God Reveals Nebuchadnezzar's Dream
14 Then with counsel and wisdom Daniel answered Arioch, the captain of the king's guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon; 15 he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, "Why is the decree from the king so urgent?" Then Arioch made the decision known to Daniel.
16 So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the king the interpretation. 17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, 18 that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 Daniel answered and said:
"Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
23 "I thank You and praise You,

Biostatistics shared resources have, from the beginning of cancer centers, been a centerpiece of the infrastructure that underpins and adds value to a cancer center. The same holds true today, although needs continue to evolve. At present, within the Dan L Duncan Cancer Center, the Biostatistics and Informatics Shared Resource plays a critical role, and going forward into the next funding period, we propose changes and strategic enhancements that will continue to provide the best possible support of research at the Cancer Center. The resource was initially established as part of the first CCSG application in 2006. The Resource grew, primarily, out of existing capabilities and personnel in the biostatistics group in the Breast Center. Directed by Dr. Susan Hilsenbeck, this group had already established strong grant-funded collaborations with non-Breast Center investigators in what is now the Cancer Cell and Gene Therapy Program, the Nuclear Receptors Program, and the Cancer Prevention and Population Science Program, as well as a broad spectrum of investigators in the Breast Program. During our first funding period we continued to grow strategically, adding faculty, staff and services, according to the plan put forward in our initial application, and to address Cancer Center needs. We first added faculty and staff to increase support for bioinformatic analyses. We expanded expertise to support clinical trials, and now, in this competing renewal, propose to formally add support for other kinds of informatics by inclusion of the Cancer Center's developing informatics group. The primary purpose of the Resource is to support the research efforts of Cancer Center investgators through collaboration on biostatistical and informatic aspects of design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation of clinical and basic science studies. This will be accomplished by providing biostatistical and bioinformatic assistance (general consultation, experimental design, assistance with conduct of clinical trials, statistical analysis, methodologic development and interpretation);informatic support (project management, IT/hardware management, and database development including caBlG integration);statistical review for PRMS and education and training. Future plans include additional faculty and staff recruitment, development of better systems for clinical data management and reporting, and assisting high throughput technology-oriented share-resources, such as the Integrated Microscopy SR or the new Genome-Wide RNAi Screening and Analysis SR, with improved data management and analysis pipelines.
During the last funding period, the Biostatistics and Informatics Shared Resource played an absolutely critical role in the work of the Dan L. Duncan Cancer Center, Researchers'needs continue to evolve, and going forward into the next funding period, we propose changes and strategic enhancements to the resource in order to continue to provide the best possible support of research at the Cancer Center.

Out-of-Hospital Births Are on the Rise
United States' out-of-hospital births increased to nearly 60,000 in 2014, continuing a decade-long increase. Data from the National Center for Health Statistics indicates that out-of-hospital births increased from 0.87% of US births in 2004 to 1.50% in 2014, an increase of 72%. Out-of-hospital birth rates increased for all race/ethnic groups, but most rapidly for non-Hispanic white women.

It is understood Manchester City have given up on signing Porto duo Eliaquim Mangala and Fernando - at least until the summer.
The Independent reported last night that the Premier League table-toppers were readying a £38m move for defender Mangala, and a £12.4m deal for Brazilian midfielder Fernando.
However, Porto's demands were considered too high for players who will not necessarily make an immediate impact on the first team.
It's expected City will return in the summer.
City always viewed the prospect of signing the 22-year-old Mangala as slim, with so many clubs seeking to secure his services and Manchester United joining Paris Saint-Germain among those who are interested. But both the City manager Manuel Pellegrini and director of football Txiki Begiristain admire Mangala and see him as the partner they need for Vincent Kompany in central defence.
Transfer deadline day January 2014 - LIVE
Porto's willingness to sell was always going to be a problem as the club are contenders for their domestic title.
Earlier today, Pellegrini did not rule out deals but did not wish to discuss them.
He said: "For the moment - sorry - no news, but I promise tomorrow you will know all about it."
Who have City been linked with this month?
Manchester City - January transfer targets
Manchester City - January transfer targets
1/15 Blaise Matuidi
PSG's powerful holding midfielder, has quietly become one of the most sought-after players in the world after a fine few years. Yet to agree a new contract with the Parisians, there is room to do a deal if City were to make a move.
2/15 Iker Casillas
One of many keepers to be linked with a switch to Eastlands as Manuel Pellegrini tinkers in the goalkeeping department. After Jose Mourinho dropped him during his final season in charge, Casillas has struggled to hold down a regular slot in the Madrid side.
3/15 Mats Hummels
While expensive, Hummels would be an excellent buy for anyone with serious ambitions of Champions League success. A regular for Borussia Dortmund last year as they reached the Champions League final, he's the sort of personality which is always welcome at the training ground.
Getty ImagesGetty Images
4/15 Eliaquim Mangala
A firm centre-back, an area desperately in need of strengthening, Mangala would be a surprise move but one worth taking. When Vincent Kompany is injured, City feel the effects and tend to fall down the league as a result.
5/15 Daniele De Rossi
Has long been linked with Man City, ever since Roberto Mancini's time in charge, but remains a viable target for the 2012 champions. After turning down rivals Man Utd in the summer, the Italian has enjoyed a wonderful year but could consider a switch in his twilight years.
6/15 Sami Khedira
Would be an astute buy for any Premier League side but would command a fee similar to that which Arsenal paid for Mesut Ozil. After suffering a long-term injury this autumn, he'd more more likely to join in the summer.
Getty Images
7/15 Saido Berahino
Berahino may not be an obvious choice but his talent, added to his goal at Old Trafford this season, could easily endear him to the City faithful. Having just signed a new deal with West Brom, he may have to be a long-term target.
8/15 Julian Draxler
Draxler remains one of the brightest lights of European football and will surely move to a club the size of Manchester City sooner rather than later. Despite not impressing against English opposition, his talents have alerted City's Premier League rivals this term.
9/15 Andres Iniesta
The Spaniard is another option after rumours surfaced that the midfielder would entertain a move away from Spain. While it would take something special to prize the renowned Catalan away from Barca, many European clubs are on red alert.
10/15 Toby Alderweireld
Very nearly joined Liverpool last summer but opted to move to Atletico Madrid instead. While the Spanish side may be challenging for the La Liga title today, he may be tempted by a move to England in the near future.
11/15 Angel Di Maria
Difficult to deal with at the best of times, Di Maria could be a real asset down the flanks. Having managed the Argentine at Real Madrid, Pellegrini is all too aware of the winger's qualities.
Getty Images
12/15 Ezequiel Garay
Was on the verge of joining Manchester United last year before, as he says, David Moyes pulled the plug. Has a point to prove. The former Everton boss may be regretting his decision but it could get even worse if City were to sign the Benfica star.
13/15 Alexis Sanchez
One of many Barcelona players who could grow unhappy with the lack of first team opportunities - much like Yaya Toure. While he is undoubtedly a quality player, Barca have an embarrassment of riches at the Nou Camp.
14/15 Asmir Begovic
The Stoke keeper's performances have been as impressive - a move must surely follow sooner or later. Linked with City two years ago, the Bosnian shot stopper would be excellent cover.
15/15 Pepe
Real Madrid's Portuguese defender is finding options limited in Spain and could fancy a switch to Eastlands. Like Di Maria, he is another player who City's Chilean boss knows well.

This weekend the Internet mourned the loss of one of its folk heroes.
She celebrated the movement's triumphs and mourned our losses every bit as much as the frontline ACT UP warrior.
I have watched many children die since that night, and I, like all medical providers, have mourned every one of them.
But when they weren't, Bauer continues, it seemed the floorboards might give way, her talent unnoticed and mourned by no one.
And Philip Roth, equally unencumbered by irony, mourned Plimpton effusively in his novel Exit Ghost.
She mourned for them sincerely, for they were all the friends she had.
Margaret mourned her turquoise with silent tears all the rest of the night.
He mourned over it and blamed himself for the death of his god.
So they mourned Morris as privately as she had long grieved over their adversity.
They made a rich banquet of funeral meats that all might know how much they mourned the old man; it was a splendid funeral.
Old English murnan "to mourn, bemoan, long after," also "be anxious about, be careful" (class III strong verb; past tense mearn, past participle murnen), from Proto-Germanic *murnan "to remember sorrowfully" (cf. Old Saxon mornon, Old High German mornen, Gothic maurnan "to mourn," Old Norse morna "to pine away"), probably from PIE root *(s)mer- "to remember" (see memory); or, if the Old Norse sense is the base one, from *mer- "to die, wither." Related: Mourned; mourning.
Frequent references are found in Scripture to, (1.) Mourning for the dead. Abraham mourned for Sarah (Gen. 23:2); Jacob for Joseph (37:34, 35); the Egyptians for Jacob (50:3-10); Israel for Aaron (Num. 20:29), for Moses (Deut. 34:8), and for Samuel (1 Sam. 25:1); David for Abner (2 Sam. 3:31, 35); Mary and Martha for Lazarus (John 11); devout men for Stephen (Acts 8:2), etc. (2.) For calamities, Job (1:20, 21; 2:8); Israel (Ex. 33:4); the Ninevites (Jonah 3:5); Israel, when defeated by Benjamin (Judg. 20:26), etc. (3.) Penitential mourning, by the Israelites on the day of atonement (Lev. 23:27; Acts 27:9); under Samuel's ministry (1 Sam. 7:6); predicted in Zechariah (Zech. 12:10, 11); in many of the psalms (51, etc.). Mourning was expressed, (1) by weeping (Gen. 35:8, marg.; Luke 7:38, etc.); (2) by loud lamentation (Ruth 1:9; 1 Sam. 6:19; 2 Sam. 3:31); (3) by the disfigurement of the person, as rending the clothes (Gen. 37:29, 34; Matt. 26:65), wearing sackcloth (Gen. 37:34; Ps. 35:13), sprinkling dust or ashes on the person (2 Sam. 13:19; Jer. 6:26; Job 2:12), shaving the head and plucking out the hair of the head or beard (Lev. 10:6; Job 1:20), neglect of the person or the removal of ornaments (Ex. 33:4; Deut. 21:12, 13; 2 Sam. 14:2; 19:24; Matt. 6:16, 17), fasting (2 Sam. 1:12), covering the upper lip (Lev. 13:45; Micah 3:7), cutting the flesh (Jer. 16:6, 7), and sitting in silence (Judg. 20:26; 2 Sam. 12:16; 13:31; Job 1:20). In the later times we find a class of mourners who could be hired to give by their loud lamentation the external tokens of sorrow (2 Chr. 35:25; Jer. 9:17; Matt. 9:23). The period of mourning for the dead varied. For Jacob it was seventy days (Gen. 50:3); for Aaron (Num. 20:29) and Moses (Deut. 34:8) thirty days; and for Saul only seven days (1 Sam. 31:13). In 2 Sam. 3:31-35, we have a description of the great mourning for the death of Abner.
