1 A GUIDE AND ADVICE FOR ECONOMISTS ON THE U.S. JUNIOR ACADEMIC JOB MARKET Edition John Cawley Department of Policy Analysis and Management and Department of Economics, Cornell University, NBER and IZA Abstract This guide, updated for the job market season, describes the U. S. academic market for new Ph.D. economists and offers advice on conducting an academic job search. It reports findings from published papers, describes practical details, and provides links to internet resources. Topics addressed include: preparing to go on the market, applying for academic jobs, the AEA s new electronic clearinghouse for the job market, signaling, interviewing at the ASSA meetings, campus visits, the secondary market scramble, offers and negotiating, diversity, and dual job searches. This document is the product of conversations with many faculty and graduate students. In particular I thank Richard Burkhauser, Ngina Chiteji, Bill Collins, Scott Drewianka, Rachel Dunifon, Ron Ehrenberg, Randy Ellis, Kaye Husbands Fealing, Barbara M. Fraumeni, David Grabowski, Daniel Hamermesh, Elton Hinshaw, Julie Hotchkiss, Joseph P. Joyce, Kevin Lang, David Mustard, Peter Rousseau, John Siegfried, and Wendy Stock for their insights, helpful comments, and advice. This document also benefited from discussions with my fellow members of the AEA Ad Hoc Committee on the Job Market (Alvin Roth, Peter Coles, Phil Levine, Muriel Niederle and John Siegfried) and the AEA Ad Hoc Committee on Job Market Systems Design and Implementation (Nancy Rose, Peter Coles, Paul Milgrom, Jesse Shapiro, and Peter Rousseau).
2 Introduction This document serves two purposes. First, it describes the U. S. academic job market for new Ph.D. economists; specifically: deadlines, what salaries and benefits have recently been offered, and what a job candidate should expect at different stages of the hiring process. Second, it offers advice on conducting an academic job search. In offering advice, this document takes as given many of the most important factors that drive hiring decisions: the quality of your research, your graduate training, and the recommendations of your advisors. For this reason, following the advice in this guide cannot guarantee you a job. The advice herein focuses on presentation and etiquette, which at the margin may influence the hiring decision. I hope that you will find this guide helpful, but every job market search is different and the experiences reflected here may not match your own. Most of this guide is outlined according to the chronology of a job search. The remainder, at the end, is devoted to issues of diversity, dual job searches, and a brief summary.

3 segments in which you participate. Carson and Navarro (1988) define three segments of the academic job market for new economists: 1. The pre-emptive market: conducted at an accelerated pace by departments seeking to interview prior to the Allied Social Science Association (ASSA) meetings the candidates they identify as a close match. Typically only a few candidates and highly-ranked departments participate in this market. Informal recommendation and scouting play a greater role in candidate selection in the pre-emptive market than in the two subsequent market segments. 2. The primary market: the largest of the three segments. Initial interviews take place at the ASSA meetings in early January. 3. The secondary market: used by employers if their top candidates in the primary market proved to be poor matches or if they advertised a job opening so late as to be unable to interview at the ASSA meetings. Campus visits in the secondary market begin after the primary market has begun to clear. A rough schedule for each of the three market segments is listed in Table 1. Unless stated otherwise, the timing of events reported in this document is that for the primary market. There are two major types of academic employers: research institutions and teaching institutions. Both types value proficiency in research and teaching, but in general, tenure decisions are more heavily based on research record and less heavily based on teaching proficiency at research universities than at teaching institutions. Much of the information in this guide applies to both markets, but the guide is primarily targeted to applicants to research universities. 3
4 Segment of Market Pre-Emptive Primary Secondary Applying for Jobs October- November October- December October- February Table 1: Schedule of Job Search By Job Market Segment First Interview Conducted at ASSA Meetings? Campus Visits Offers and Negotiations No December December Yes January-March February-March Maybe March-April March-May Note: Segments are defined according to Carson and Navarro (1988). The goal of your search is not to get a job in the highest-ranked department; it is to find a job in which your work is understood and appreciated, you find the work enjoyable and gratifying, and in which you can be productive and continue to grow and improve. In a job search, success is defined as a good match of applicant and department. In order for you to find a good match, it is crucial that you understand where you fit in the field of economics: you need to know in what field(s) of economics you will work, the type of research you will pursue, and your comparative advantages as a researcher. It may be difficult for you, as a graduate student, to know where you fit in the discipline, but that information will help you immensely on the job market. An important way that you can increase the probability of finding a good match is to be honest with your advisors and potential employers about your interests, skills, and what you are looking for in a match. You should not think of other job market candidates as direct competitors; each of you is seeking a match that depends on your individual characteristics, preferences and constraints. Be nice to others who are on the job market; share information and be supportive. The most important determinant of your success on the job market is the quality of your job 4
5 market paper and how well you present it. You should focus your time and effort towards improving your paper, your interview skills, and your job talk (your 90-minute seminar based on the job market paper). During your search, keep in mind two basic facts about the job market for new economics Ph.D.s. The first is trickle down. Each year, almost every economics Ph.D. program produces more Ph.D.s than it can hire. As a result, candidates from the top departments trickle down, filling openings at lower-ranked departments, crowding most of the graduates of those departments to jobs in departments further down the rankings. Stock, Alston, and Milkman (2000) find that the vast majority of new economics Ph.D.s in moved to jobs in departments at least 50 ranks below their graduate department; excluding moves to unranked departments, the average drop was 59 ranks. On the bright side, the second basic fact is that almost everyone lands a job that they like. In a survey of new economics Ph.D.s in , Siegfried and Stock (2004) find that only 2.1% were unemployed shortly after the job search season. In fact, National Science Foundation data indicate that Ph.D. economists have the lowest unemployment rate (0.9%) of any doctoral field, 1 as well as one of the highest median salaries of any doctoral field. 2 Finally, the vast majority of people are happy with the outcome of their search. Of the new Ph.D. economists in , 94% reported that they liked their jobs very much or fairly well (Siegfried and Stock, 2004). 1 The NSF s list of unemployment rates by doctoral field is here: 2 The NSF s list of median salaries by doctoral field is here: 5
6 1. Preparing to Go on the Job Market Your dissertation advisors will help you determine whether you are ready to go on the job market. It is more important whether your primary advisor thinks you re ready to be on the market than whether you think you re ready to be on the market. You should certainly not go on the market without your advisors approval, and you should have that approval by the Spring before you will apply for jobs. The most important indicator of your readiness is whether you will have a good job market paper completed early in the Fall. A second indicator is whether the progress on the rest of your dissertation is such that you are likely to defend the following spring. Sometimes graduate students who don t feel fully ready consider going on the market selectively, applying to only a few places, and then if necessary going on the market in earnest the next year. In my opinion, that is a bad strategy. There are high fixed costs (both money and time) to going on the market. Moreover, departments may notice that you have been on the market two years in a row and assume that you bombed on the market the first time and therefore you must be low quality. Make sure that you are ready and then conduct a full market search. Alternatively, apply for postdoctoral fellowships and then conduct a full market search in two years. (Sometimes circumstances change and people are forced to withdraw from the market. It is costless to do so before your department s placement webpage goes online. The later you withdraw, the greater the risk that some prospective employers may remember you as having been on the market and you may be viewed negatively the next time you go out.) This section is devoted to things you can do during the spring and summer to prepare for your job search. Prospective employers will overwhelmingly judge you by your job market paper and how well you present it. Try to complete your job market paper by the end of summer. Keep in mind John Cochrane s Writing Tips for PhD Students: Another useful resource is Thomson (2001): A Guide for the Young Economist: Writing and Speaking Effectively About Economics. The job search will likely consume more time than you anticipate (October to March), leaving you with less time to revise your paper than you might 6
7 expect. Keep your advisors up-to-date with your research and think carefully about their critiques. You will likely have blind spots with respect to your research, so also ask faculty and fellow graduate students who have no previous exposure to your work to read and critique your paper. Present your job market paper at seminars and conferences. You will quickly learn what other people think are the weak points; work to strengthen those areas. Practice will also enhance your presentation skills. Organize an informal workshop with the other graduate students who will be on the job market and practice presenting your job market paper. Submit your job market paper to be presented at the regional economics association conferences. The odds of acceptance are higher at these conferences than at the ASSA meetings. You are not restricted to the regional association that corresponds to the location of your graduate school; you can apply to present at the conference of any regional association. In general, attendance at the sessions of regional meetings is much lower than that at the ASSA meetings, but you will get practice, discussant comments, and some visibility for you and your work. The meetings of the Eastern Economic Association and Midwest Economics Association are in March, those of the Western Economic Association are in June-July, and those of the Southern Economic Association are in November. Two summer workshops aim to help graduate students prepare for the job market. The Western Economic Association International (WEAI) sponsors a Graduate Student Dissertation Workshop. Each department can nominate up to two Ph.D. students who will be on the job market; a competitive selection process determines the final participants. Those selected receive: complementary membership in the WEAI, a grant to help cover airfare, and hotel accommodations during the workshop. During the workshop, participants practice their job talks and receive feedback from faculty mentors. The faculty mentors also conduct mock interviews of candidates. Nominations are due in November the year before you will be on the market, with selections announced in February and rough drafts of job market papers due in April. Information about the event is here: 7
8 In recent years, a handful of economics departments have sponsored EconCon, a conference for Economics Ph.D. students to practice and receive feedback on their job talks. Papers are selected, and the conference is organized, by Ph.D. students. Information on the August 2014 event, which was held at Princeton, is here: Prepare your curriculum vitae (CV). It can take a surprisingly long time. To help you decide what information you should list, examine the CVs of last year s job candidates from top Ph.D. programs. The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) web site provides links to the job placement web pages (which contain job candidates CVs) for major economics departments in the U.S.; the URL is Keep your CV current; the date your CV was revised should appear at the top of it. Keep detailed lists of every presentation, every award and grant you receive, and the journals for which you have refereed. Some of this may not appear on your current CV but you will modify your CV over time. List your mobile phone number on your CV. Your department should create a placement webpage from which prospective employers may download your CV and job market paper; Adobe Acrobat (PDF) is the best format for these documents. Decide which faculty you will ask to write letters of recommendation and keep them informed of your research progress. All else equal, letters from senior faculty are more influential than those from junior faculty. All of your letter writers should know you and your work well. Decide which types of jobs are the best match for you, in terms of field of specialization, type of department, and type of institution. Consider economics departments, business schools, and schools of public policy. Health economists will also want to consider schools of public health and medical schools. You may also want to consider searches in government (e.g. the Federal Reserve banks, the Bureau of Labor Statistics), international organizations (e.g. the World Bank, the IMF), think tanks (e.g. RAND, Research Triangle Institute, Mathematica), and the private sector. 8
9 Several AEA newsletters contain rich information about the diversity of jobs available to economists both within and outside academia, which will help you to better appreciate the richness of your job opportunities and better understand what types of employers may be the best match for you. The AEA s Fall 2012 Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession (CSWEP) newsletter is devoted to The International Job Market for Economists : https://www.aeaweb.org/committees/cswep/newsletters/cswep_nsltr_fall_2012.pdf The Fall 2011 CSWEP newsletter contains essays on working in think tanks and government: https://www.aeaweb.org/committees/cswep/newsletters/cswep_nsltr_fall_2011.pdf The Winter 2006 CSWEP newsletter includes articles on teaching economics in different environments (e.g. liberal arts college, business school): The Spring/Summer 2006 CSWEP newsletter includes articles on research careers for economists outside of academia (e.g. RAND, Upjohn, Federal Reserve, Bureau of Labor Statistics): The AEA s Committee on the Status of Minority Groups in the Economics Profession has a newsletter with brief entries on Economics Jobs Beyond Academia. https://www.aeaweb.org/committees/csmgep/resources/ The newsletters of the American Society of Health Economists have included symposia on the diversity of jobs available to health economists. o In the Fall 2010 newsletter, health economists working in schools of public health, public policy, medicine, and business describe their working environments and the advantages and disadvantages of each. o In the Spring 2010 newsletter, health economists in consulting, government, industry and think tanks likewise discuss the nature of their jobs and employers. Even if you re not a health economist, these symposia will help you to better understand 9
10 the differences across academic units and nonacademic employers. You may wish to read the 2010 paper written by the AEA s Ad Hoc Committee on the Job Market, The Job Market for New Economists: A Market Design Perspective, that was published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives (Coles et al., 2010). This paper provides a detailed overview of the AEA s signaling and scramble mechanisms that will be described later in this guide. Buy at least two nice, conservative, professional outfits. You don t want to be frantically searching for appropriate outfits just before interviews. Several items can make your job search easier. A smart phone with access will be critical for staying in touch with potential employers while you travel. List your cell phone number on your CV. Make sure the calendar function on your smart phone is synchronized with your desktop and laptop, so you can edit your schedule from anywhere. A laptop is useful while traveling for continuing to work on your dissertation. See if your university can install VPN software that will allow you to remote connect to your computer at your home institution (e.g. to access all of your files and continue to estimate new models while traveling). Buy a briefcase in which to carry copies of your CV, papers, and the materials that will be handed to you during interviews. Carrying a backpack to your interviews isn t as professional. A carry-on bag that has a suiter (which prevents wrinkling). A carry-on is useful because the risk of your luggage being lost is higher if you check it. (The first time my luggage was lost by an airline was on my first campus visit as a job candidate. Moreover, in the first interview that I helped to conduct, the applicant s luggage had been lost.) Join airline frequent flier programs and hotel frequent stayer programs. You might as well 10
11 collect the benefits for all the traveling you ll be doing! Find out which faculty member will serve as your department s Job Placement Coordinator and determine what the Coordinator does to assist job market candidates. Find out if your department ranks job candidates by field. Determine whether your department offers financial support to its job candidates; some departments subsidize travel to conferences for interviewing. Determine all of the deadlines for your department: e.g. for CVs (to be compiled into a departmental mailing) and for requesting letters of recommendation. Your politeness and punctuality will help your department to help you with your job search. If you will be working as a teaching assistant or research assistant during your job search, be sure that your supervisor and employer know in advance that you will be on the market. Plan in advance how to manage your work responsibilities while juggling the demands of the job market. Manage your online profile. If your department sets up a website for its job candidates, make sure that your photo is professional (you in a suit, looking straight at the camera; not you hiking). I recommend against posting your CV on Google Docs prospective employers may be denied access if they aren t registered with and logged into Google. If you have silly or superficial webpages attached to your graduate student profile, take them down. Do not allow your practice job talk to be posted online. 11
12 2. Applying for Academic Jobs In early fall, look for job openings that match your skills and interests. By far, the number one source of information about jobs for Ph.D. economists is Job Openings for Economists (JOE): Jobs are posted continuously. You may find some relevant job openings through sources other than JOE. You might wish to try: Field-specific organizations; e.g. the International Health Economics Association: The Association of Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) encourages its institutional members to post their jobs in public policy to the website Chronicle of Higher Education: New job listings are posted every business day, and remain online for 30 days. Most economics departments do not advertise their positions in the Chronicle, but you might find ads from interdisciplinary or unorthodox departments. Only a decade ago, job candidates applied for positions by mailing packets that included their job market paper, CV, and cover letter. Recommendation letters would often be sent separately. That process involved high costs in time and postage for applicants, and high time costs for potential employers (even just for filing the hundreds of applications and matching them with the reference letters arriving separately). The good news is that, in order to increase the efficiency of the job market for new Ph.D. economists, the AEA has introduced an electronic clearinghouse called the JOE Network. 3 You should immediately create an account by going here: https://www.aeaweb.org/joe/cand.php. You can later upload to your account your CV, job market paper, and other materials. This new clearinghouse is integrated with JOE, so you can 3 The AEA charged its Ad Hoc Committee on Job Market Systems Design and Implementation (Nancy Rose (chair), John Cawley, Peter Coles, Paul Milgrom, Jesse Shapiro, and Peter Rousseau) with developing the electronic job 12
13 simply click to apply to jobs advertised in JOE ads. Through this system you can request recommendation letters from your references (who will upload their letters to a separate secure portion of the JOE Network, making it quick and easy for the letters to be sent to each prospective employer). You will not be able to read the letters that your advisors write about you, but you will be able to see that the letter has been submitted. Just as you can search for ads through JOE, employers will be able to search through the registered users to find you, so be clear and specific about your fields of research and other characteristics. The JOE Network is the official electronic clearinghouse of the AEA for new Ph.D. economists, and I expect that eventually the vast majority of applications will be submitted through this system. However, is its first year of operation, and during this transitional period many employers may continue to request applications through their earlier mode, which might be the institution s unique portal (some universities require that all of their departments receive applications through an institution-specific website), EconJobMarket.org (another electronic clearinghouse for the economics job market; you can register here: https://econjobmarket.org/ ), , or good oldfashioned snail mail. It may be helpful to provide an overview of the market for new Ph.D. economists. Table 2 describes the supply of new American Ph.D. economists using data from The Survey of Earned Doctorates, a census of all individuals receiving a research doctorate from a U.S. institution in an academic year. The table provides the last few years worth of data because the numbers fluctuate over time. In the year 2012, U. S. universities granted 1,243 Ph.D.s in economics; of the recipients, 67.6% were male, and 41.6% were U.S. citizens. market clearinghouse. 13
14 Table 2: Recipients of an Economics Doctorate at U.S. Universities, Economics Ph.D.s Granted by U.S. Universities 1,072 1,124 1,243 Gender Men 65.5% 65.6% 67.6% Women 34.4% 34.4% 32.3% Citizenship U.S. Citizen or permanent resident 42.6% 38.2% 41.6% Non-U.S. Citizens with Temporary Visa 51.8% 55.5% 52.8% Notes: Totals include doctorates in economics and econometrics. Sources: Tables 60 in NSF (2011, 2012, 2013). Percents do not always sum to 100% because of non-response and rounding. To complement Table 2, which describes the supply of new economics Ph.D.s from American universities, Tables 3 and 4 describe the demand for new economics Ph.D.s. They list the number of new academic jobs listed in JOE by month in recent years. (An important difference is that the annual data in Table 2 correspond to July 1 to June 30, whereas the annual data in Tables 3 and 4 correspond to January 1 through December 31.) Each unique job is only counted once, under the month the ad first ran. Table 3 shows that, in 2013, a total of 1,924 new academic jobs were advertised. Table 4 shows that, in 2013, a total of 866 new non-academic jobs were advertised. A comparison of the supply side (Table 2) and the demand side (Tables 3 and 4) shows that the odds are in your favor; the number of new jobs advertised in JOE is typically far higher than the number of new Economics Ph.D.s granted by American universities. For 2013, there were 1,243 new economics Ph.Ds and 2,799 new jobs for economics Ph.D.s. However, this does not necessarily mean that many jobs go unfilled. The count of academic jobs advertised in JOE includes not just openings for assistant professors but also ones at the senior level. Furthermore, the set of people competing for the junior academic jobs posted in JOE includes not just those about to receive their economics Ph.D. from a U.S. university but also those who are earning their economics doctorate in other countries, as well as some current junior faculty and postdoctoral fellows seeking new jobs, and to some extent those who earned a 14
15 Ph.D. in business, public policy, or another related field. Tables 3 and 4 indicate that the most new advertisements are posted in October and November. Table 3: Number of New Academic Jobs Posted in JOE By Month, Month February March April May June August September October November December Total 1,948 2,059 1,924 Notes: Includes both junior and senior openings.

Table 5 lists the number of academic employers that advertised on JOE in recent years. The modal employer advertising on JOE is a university with a graduate program in economics (1,216 out of 2,208 advertising employers in 2013). Other employers with many advertisements on JOE are four year colleges (297 in 2014) and consulting or research firms (249 in 2014). Table 5: Number of Employers Advertising on JOE Type of Employer Universities with graduate programs 1,241 1,216 Four-year colleges Federal government State / local government Banking or finance Business or industry Consulting or research Other Total 2,210 2,208 Notes: Includes both junior and senior openings. Sources: Siegfried (2014, 2013), Tables 2. 16
17 Table 6 lists the number of times in recent years that JOE listings have specified certain fields of economics as the focus of the search. (Advertisements may list more than one field of specialization in their ads, so each ad may be counted multiple times in Table 6.) Consistently, the fields most often sought by employers are: Mathematical and Quantitative Methods, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics, and Financial Economics. Any Field is also commonly listed, especially by major research universities. Assess how well each JOE job listing satisfies your preferences and constraints. It is expected that you will apply for some jobs you are unsure about; the job market is a learning process for both applicants and employers with interviews and campus visits used to gather information about the quality of match. However, do not apply for jobs that you are certain you would not accept; it is a waste of resources for you and the employer. Moreover, there is no point applying if your field is not close to any of those listed. Search committees roll their eyes and disregard the applications from people whose work is unrelated to the advertised fields. Trust employers to accurately describe the scope of their search in the JOE ad. For how many jobs should you apply? That depends on how many job listings appear to be a good match with your preferences and constraints. In the Stock et al. (2000) sample of economics job candidates during , the average applicant sent 76 applications; 25% sent 100 or more. List (2000) finds for a sample of job seekers at the 1997 ASSA meetings that the mean number of applications mailed for academic jobs was 41, with a standard deviation of

19 You might find the following information about departments to be useful for focusing your search. IDEAS/RePEc is an online service that allows economists to register and claim their working papers and publications. Thereafter, the service tracks citations to those papers. This information is used to generate rankings of individual economists as well as departments on a wide variety of metrics, including number of distinct works, number of citations, number of online abstract views, and number of downloaded papers. The methodology for these rankings is described here: You can examine the rankings of departments overall, as well as by subfield of economics, here: You should review the rankings in your areas of research; sometimes departments with unremarkable overall rankings are very strong in a certain field. You can even use the IDEAS/RePEc data to construct your own rankings: A strength of this service is that new information is continually added (although citations may be entered with a lag of 6 months or more). A limitation is that it includes only the economists who have registered. The rankings of the National Research Council (NRC) were intended to be the gold standard; they reflect faculty publications, grants, and awards; student GRE scores, financial support, and employment outcomes; and program size, time to degree, and faculty composition. The NRC s latest rankings (based on data from and released in 2010 after a delay of three years) were eagerly anticipated, as there had been no NRC rankings since 1995 (NRC, 2010). However, the result was disappointing, as the NRC offered two rankings with different methodologies, and moreover within each ranking programs did not receive a single score but instead a range, making it difficult to make comparisons or draw strong conclusions. (You can read about the methodology of the rankings here: ). In response to the complexity of the NRC rankings, many institutions seem to have shrugged them off. You can examine the rankings of economics departments by downloading the excel spreadsheet here: The website PhDs.org, which is not 19
20 affiliated with the NRC, has taken the data and created a web-friendly interface that allows you to prioritize criteria and produce your own rankings; here is the link to the webpage for economics programs: Show your letter-writers the list of jobs for which you plan to apply and ask their advice. Make sure they are aware of the types of jobs you think are the best match and of any restrictions on your search. You might ask if they would be able to write a better letter if you limited your search to certain departments. Give them copies of your CV and cover letter so they can see how you are marketing yourself. Ask your advisors to call any contacts they may have in departments you have identified as a particularly good match and vouch for you. (While such informal contacts can help you get an initial interview, after that you are on your own. Nobody can get the job for you -- you have to perform well in the interviews and in your job talk.) If your committee refuses to make any calls or send any s on your behalf, don t worry -- you will still get interviews. You may want to have more letter-writers than is required. That way, even if one is late, the consideration of your application is not delayed. If you are particularly interested in public policy, you may wish to interview at the conference of the Association of Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM), which is usually scheduled in late October or early November: APPAM, in cooperation with the national associations for schools of public affairs and public administration, created the website where you can search for positions (academic, government, nonprofit, NGO, consulting, or research) and post your CV. Public policy departments are more likely than economics departments to interview at the APPAM meetings. In mid-september the ASSA sends to AEA members an and/or a brochure that includes information on conference registration and reserving hotel rooms for the conference. Information will also be online at: https://www.aeaweb.org/annual_meeting/index.php You 20

The 2016 US presidential election is the 58th quadrennial United States presidential election scheduled for November 8, 2016. Barack Obama, the incumbent president, is ineligible to be elected to a third term due to term limits in the Twenty-second Amendment to the Unites States Constitution. This election opposes Jeb Bush (son of the former president George H. W. Bush and brother of the former president George W. Bush), the Republican candidate, to Andrew Cuomo, the Democratic candidate. Jeb Bush won the election by gaining 43 states, 482 Great Electors and 53% of the popular vote against only 8 states, 63 Great Electors and 39% of the popular vote.
Republican primaries
- Jeb Bush, former Florida governor (47 states, 65% of the vote)
-Chris Cristie, governor of New Jersey (4 states, 25% of the vote)
-Paul Ryan, U.S representative from Wisconsin, 2012 vice-presidential nominee (6% of the vote)
-Rand Paul, U.S senator from Kentucky (4% of the vote)
In 2013, after Obama's reelection, many Republicans express their interest for the presidential candidacy. After Super Tuesday, Paul Ryan dropped his campaign. Chris Cristie does the same after losing the states of California and New York to Jeb Bush. Because of his popularity within the GOP and the Hispanics, Bush won the GOP presidential primary with 47 states gained. Cristie won 4 states (New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut and Rhode Island). The Bush's victory allowed him to win the GOP nomination in 2016.

Annual Used Boat Sale
***Update (6/18/17) – We still have a couple tandem kayaks and a couple SUP's from last season for sale. They are $100 off the prices below. Call us at (919)866-1954 or email us at email@example.com for more info.***
This is the big one you've been waiting for!
It is that time of year again where we start to sell our used kayaks and SUP's. Isn't it exciting? We've put together this list of frequently asked questions and hopefully that will answer all of your, well, frequently asked questions. If it does not, please email us your questions at email@example.com and we will get back to you asap.
How does this work? Great question, thanks for asking! We will have our used boats available to purchase on weekends at our river landing. We are generally there from about 10am-5pm, and you can shoot us an email or give us a call just to confirm. Just come on down and take a look and we will get you taken care of.
What kind of kayaks do you have for sale? We have Jackson Riviera kayaks in solo and tandem versions. See below for pictures, specification, and prices.
Do you have any canoes for sale? Not this year. We love them and can't let them go. After all we've been through together, it just doesn't seem right.
Do you have SUP's for sale? Yes, all of our SUP's are for sale, see below for details.
What kind of condition are they in? They will have some scrapes on the bottom and may have some markings from being strapped down to the trailer repeatedly, but aside from that, they generally look pretty good. The beautiful thing about these kayaks is they are almost indestructible. There are some that are a year older or that have been repaired that are a lower price.
Is the price negotiable? Not really (no). We use the money from this year's used boats to put towards next year's new boats. If we gave everyone a (bigger) discount all we are doing is limiting the number of boats we can buy next year. If you do that for enough years, well, you see where that would go.
Can I get a discount if I buy two? See, "Is the price negotiable" above. If you want to buy 42 (random, prohibitively high, number) or more boats, we will consider a discount.
Can't I buy a new kayak at a sporting goods store for the same or less money? Probably. The boats we use are made by one of the most respected manufacturers in the industry and are designed specifically for the use and abuse that comes with the rental industry. With a little care they will last a lifetime. The prices we sell them for generally represent a 35-40% discount off of standard retail pricing (A bit more if you consider the cost of shipping). The difference between our boats and the $250 kayaks is in the quality of the build and the availability of replacement/add-on parts.
Does it come with Paddles/ PFD/ Straps, etc…? No, but those are all available at discounted rates as well. Again, we use the funds from these sales to buy new gear for next year.
Do I have to pay Sales Tax on the boats/ gear? Um, yes. Just like almost anything else you buy, there is Sales Tax. We've made it very convenient for you by just adding it to your bill. We will even remit it to the State for you. You're welcome.
Do you have it in a different color? We've got any color you want as long as it is red for the solos and green for the tandems.

Former N-Dubz singer Dappy told police he slapped a fan in self-defence because he lived in constant fear he might be stabbed, a court has heard.
The 27-year-old na na nai-er , who appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Wednesday under his real name, Dino Costas Contostavlos, is accused of attacking George Chittock in the early hours of February 27.
Tulisa's cousin denies assault by beating and is standing trial at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court.
Prosecutor Jacqueline Carey told the court the incident happened after Contostavlos carried out a "meet and greet" at Chicago's in Chelmsford, Essex.
In a police statement read to the court, the performer said he had been "cut" in an incident four or five years earlier at a nightclub in Nottingham.
Asked if he feared he was going to be stabbed on the night of the incident, he said: "I was scared someone was going to put a hole in me," adding he had been attacked on three previous occasions in the 12 months leading up to the incident.
He claimed Mr Chittock had abused him three times over the course of the night, including insulting his dead father.
"He looked like he was going to do something. It was self-defence, I did not want to get hit," said Contostavlos.
Ms Carey told the court the pair were in a smoking area along with Contostavlos's minder and two of the club's own door staff at about 2am when he was seen to slap Mr Chittock.
CCTV footage of the alleged attack was played to the court.
The black-and-white footage, which lasts about 10 seconds, showed Contostavlos "surrounded by security" when he turned and "slapped" Mr Chittock, Ms Carey said.
Ms Carey said: "When the defendant lashed out, he was not under any threat or any perceived threat of violence."
Jon Harrison, defending, said that earlier in the evening Mr Chittock told Contostavlos: "Dappy, you're a mug, I'm going to knock you out."
Mr Chittock replied: "Incorrect."
He suggested that on a second occasion, Mr Chittock was ejected from a VIP area after saying to the performer: "Do you remember me, you pussy?"
Mr Chittock agreed he had been ejected from the area as the star had his photo taken with fans but said it was the result of a misunderstanding and he did not say anything abusive.
Asked whether he had said to Contostavlos "go suck your dead dad" seconds before he was slapped, Mr Chittock said: "I would not say that, I have close family members who have died and that is not right."
In response to suggestions he had deliberately intimidated Contostavlos, Mr Chittock added: "I was not in his face. I was not in his personal area. He turned around to strike me."
James Armstrong, a security worker at Chicago's, said he escorted Contostavlos and his entourage of 10 friends and a close protection officer into the nightclub after he arrived at midnight.
During the evening, Contostavlos drank half a bottle of Grey Goose vodka and some Jack Daniels, Mr Armstrong said.
"I could tell later in the night he was very intoxicated," he said.
"I thought it was a bit peculiar someone of his stature was drinking from the bottle.
"That bottle remained with him most of the night."
Contostavlos finished in second place to Davidson on reality show Celebrity Big Brother a month before the alleged incident.
Comedian Jim Davidson , attended court in a show of moral support.
Outside court, Davidson said: "Dappy is a good friend of mine, we became close on Big Brother.
"I don't know what's happened in this case but I'm just here to show him my support."
Contostavlos, of St Albans, Hertfordshire, is on unconditional bail.
Giving evidence, Dappy, who gave his profession as performing artist, said he was feeling "energetic and alive" on the night of the incident.
He insisted he did not have a "drinking habit", adding: "I was functional enough to go and do an amazing show so I certainly wasn't drunk."
Contostavlos said he would not be able to drink half a bottle of vodka without falling over.
Telling the court he was about 5ft 4ins and weighed eight stone, he added: "Look at me I couldn't down half a bottle of vodka in the space of 20 minutes of me going on stage."
He said that when he arrived at the club he heard somebody shouting "mug, mug, mug".
He added that the "same boy" caused trouble later in the night when he refused to have his picture taken with him.
The trial continues.

Just have the user CC them in the original e-mail or just CC their manager when one gets submitted.
Feb 15, 2012 at 2:54 UTC
You could use the My Ticket Rules extension that is built into Spiceworks to automatically CC the manager. That could be a long list of rules and a pain from a change management perspective, though, but doable.

Yes boys, she's a free woman! Nisreen Tafish confirms divorce
Syrian actress Nisreen Tafish was the latest celeb to experience the bitter taste of divorce. (Image: Facebook)
Celeb marriages don't usually last that long, and Syrian actress Nisreen Tafish was the latest celeb to experience the bitter taste of divorce.
The actress confirmed the end of her five-year marriage this week. Nisreen said that her ex-husband and her were unable to solve the numerous marital problems they were facing, as their marriage hit a "dead end," she said.
Nisreen did however say that she's coping well at the moment, as divorce procedures were done in a peaceful manner.
The divorcee said that there's mutual respect between her and the ex-hubby, and that they're still in touch from time to time.
Will she be tying the knot any time soon though? Nisreen said that the day will come when she marries again, but now is the time to focus on her career, which she neglected in many ways because of her previous marriage.

I'm mean, c'mon, just look at it:
Can I get a hell yeah?
I think I've gotten one here.
So step off, Elim Alley, and make way for the new king…
I'm mean, c'mon, just look at it:
Can I get a hell yeah?
I think I've gotten one here.
So step off, Elim Alley, and make way for the new king…
This one was built Just For Frisco:
Big, in'nt?
OMG, just look at this monster:
It's like the Mammoth Car from Speed Racer, non?
Anyway, that one above, #7201, was just the prototype. But this one here, #7215 is the real deal, spotted last week undergoing sea trials on Mission in SoMA. Soon it will be your new 30-X Marina "(Orient) Express," the better to do battle with Chariot's Chestnut Bullet:
Get all the deets from Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez
Muni set to use longer buses on popular 30X-Marina Express
(And let me say, speaking a Bro myself, I apologize to Joe on behalf of Bros everywhere for all the time he had to spend yesterday on the SFBARF crew. Imagine if renters banded together to get property owners to speak out for rent control or something – that would be pretty bizarre as well.)
But hey, look at this monster – it doesn't even come close to fitting into the frame:
Articulated, as most monsters are:
Bye bye Monster Bus – see you in my nightmares:
Actually, I approve of these gentle giants, these whale sharks of the transit world. Now it's a shame that literally nothing can be done about rejiggering lanes to get 30's through Stockton Street, but there was/is a corrupt bargain having to do with the less-than-useless Central Subway what prevents that. Oh well.
Just look at this thing in front of Pier 39 – it's huge!
And it's 100% real, for better or worse. I heard it's 55 feet, but officially it's 60, perhaps due to rounding, IDK:
I'm calling this thing an Attraction:
Oh, but why so soon, in early November?
This issue hadn't occurred to me – I guess it is a bit early. (But feel free to add that to the lengthy list of things I care absolutely nothing about.)
Anyway, the Lighting Ceremonies are coming November 21-22, 2015.
See you there!
Here's the sitch – Frisco locked itself into a 20-year deal with that fucking JCDecaux (JEE-SEE-DE-KOO, mon amie) company, so now we're stuck with 100-something of these 17 foot tall kioskses
(Hey, that's what you need more in your life, Gentle Reader – more booze, hurray! Catchphrase: Booze – it's what's for dinner.)
(Note now-useless and obsolete newspaper sidewalk sales feature. Also note that this sidewalk monster is labeled as "street furniture," as if that's a good thing. Also note cheesy gold-toned metal accents – tres chic, non?)
Of course we've been down this road before, Gentil Lecteur, but I wanted to attract your eyes to this – here's how JCD markets SF's public property:
Overview: In San Francisco, our 113 advertising kiosks cannot be missed. These elegant, 24-hour backlit, 17-foot kiosks tower over the city's most populated streets, providing advertisers with oversized landmarks to showcase their messages. Our kiosks are the most striking outdoor media platforms to reach pedestrians and vehicular traffic in the Bay Area.
Each kiosk has two ad panels. The panels are divided into pre-set networks, each with equal exposure to top locations.
Kiosks are located throughout the heart of San Francisco's high-density business, entertainment, and shopping districts including Union Square, the Financial District and Fisherman's Wharf…"
So help me out here. If we have OVERSIZED LANDMARKS, you know, some "STREET FURNITURE" what TOWER OVER us, you know, what CANNOT BE MISSED so that some rich Euros straight outta, and I'm srsly, fucking Neuilly-sur-Seine, France can make some more Euros, then I ask you, "Is This A Good Thing?"
Just asking, Jean-Charles.
It used to have four foot wide lanes.
Then it got six foot lanes, but now it's lots busier these days, with all manner of transport upon it:
And the SFPD and Rec & Park drive upon this path with Crown Victorias all the time too, right?
So what's wrong with eight foot lanes, I ask you.
(Oh, no other "improvements" are required, no beautification efforts are required, or desired. Just work on the basics, SFGov.)
I'll tell you, in my day the Panhandle Bike Path was a mere eight foot wide. And then it went to twelve foot, the way it is now.
But how about 16 feet – what the heck would be wrong with that? JMO.
Anyway, they just got finished repaving the southwest corner of Fell and Masonic, so the bike path got widened to 14 feet, if only for a short section:
I'll get my 16 foot bike path, someday. (Prolly with a laundry list of expensive aesthetic "improvements" that I won't notice, but anyway, someday…
Here's Rivera during last week's Storm of the Month, which, Ocean Beach surfing-wise, was much better than average – hundreds of surfers were on the wet side of the Great Highway on this day:
Well, forget all that:
Seas from the developing system will combine with the distant swell and build to 15-18 feet. Mavericks at Half Moon Bay is likely to see some of the largest waves reaching as high as 27 feet during high tide. Stinson Beach and Ocean Beach could see 11 to 18-foot waves. High tide on Wednesday will be at 2 a.m. and 12:38 a.m., Thursday at 2:40 a.m. and 1:12 p.m., and Friday at 3:19 a.m. and 2:02 p.m.
Stay safe.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Upon further review, the Frogs aren't princes. And the Longhorns are far from kings.
The replay reversal of an apparent third-down lost fumble by Texas quarterback Colt McCoy deep in TCU territory late in the third quarter led to a tying field goal one play later. Five plays after the Horned Frogs fumbled the ensuing kickoff, the No. 7 Longhorns tacked on the go-ahead touchdown, then feasted on TCU mistakes as they rallied for an often sloppy 34-13 victory Saturday night at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
Upstart TCU's bid for Lone Star State credibility sputtered as the No. 19 Frogs lost for the 28th time in their past 29 meetings with the Longhorns. Texas, hoping to regain momentum lost when it fell from No. 4 to 7 in both polls after a poor showing in a 21-13 season-opening win over Arkansas State, erased a 10-point lead late in the third quarter but still failed to grasp as decisive a victory as it sought.
"We're still a team that's a work in progress," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "We're a team that made a bunch of mistakes. And we still have to figure out who we are offensively."
The Horns had no doubt what they were in the first half -- immensely frustrated.
McCoy, who a year ago was seven games into a stunning redshirt freshman season before he had thrown three interceptions, reached that total after only six quarters this year. His two interceptions, both in the final three minutes of the first half, led to 10 TCU points.
One interception came on a read he said he'd make all over again. The other came on a tipped ball.
"You didn't want to touch me in the second quarter," McCoy said. "I had some bad luck."
TCU appeared to have added to the Longhorns' frustrations late in the third quarter when McCoy's scramble on third-and-10 led to a fumble the Frogs recovered. The Longhorns, who had exhausted all their timeouts, including one on a challenge of an incomplete pass to receiver Limas Sweed a few plays earlier, got a break when, with TCU about to snap the ball, the officials called for a review.
The subsequent reversal seemed to surprise the crowd of 84,621, which gasped audibly when referee Jon Bible announced that video review showed that McCoy's left knee was down before John Fonua ripped the ball loose. The Longhorns said they knew it all along.
"I knew I was down," McCoy said. "We needed that. We were inside the 20, and we had to get points on the board."
"I knew it was a bad call," said Texas linebacker Rodd Muckelroy. "When they turned that over, I knew right away we were going to win the football game."
Ryan Bailey kicked a 28-yard field goal on the next play to tie the score 10-10, and when Frogs returner Steven Hodge dove for the kickoff only to have the ball slide through his hands and into those of Texas reserve running back James Henry, the momentum turn was complete. On second-and-goal from the 1, redshirt freshman Vondrell McGee, playing in his first game and making only his second career carry, scored to make it 17-10.
Texas blew the game open in the fourth quarter, following up a 20-yard Bailey field goal with a 20-yard return of a muffed punt snap for a touchdown by Brandon Foster and a 39-yard Jamaal Charles touchdown run that was set up by a failed onside kick attempt. Charles' run gave him 134 yards, the first time an opponent had rushed for more than 100 in the Frogs' past 22 games.
TCU turned the ball over four times, including three fumbles lost, and was penalized 13 times for 100 yards.
"You have to finish," said TCU coach Gary Patterson, ironically invoking what the Longhorns' mantra had been all week after failing to dispatch Arkansas State until an unsuccessful onside kick in the final minute. "And little things are big in big ballgames."
McCoy had been successful probing the outside of the Frogs' pass defense, but when he tried to hit Sweed on a quick slant near midfield with a little less than four minutes left in the first half, he didn't get it over leaping TCU cornerback Torrey Stewart, who had started to blitz only to pull up and jump as the ball was thrown. Stewart returned the interception 45 yards for a touchdown with 3:33 remaining.
Five plays after the kickoff, on second-and-10 from his own 30, McCoy threw to Nate Jones over the middle, but David Hawthorne tipped the ball and safety David Roach intercepted. TCU took over at the Texas 28, and Frogs quarterback Andy Dalton took advantage of a Longhorns coverage bust to complete a 24-yard pass to Walter Bryant down to the 4. Three inside runs netted 3 yards, and Chris Manfredini kicked a 19-yard field goal with 17 seconds left in the half.
For most of the first half, neither team scored, and they barely seriously threatened. Through the first 27 minutes, the teams combined to run 67 plays, only three of which began inside the opponent's red zone. Texas' best shot to score in the first half came after Longhorns end Lamarr Houston sacked Dalton from the blind side and jarred loose the ball, which was recovered by Muckelroy at the TCU 48.
McCoy, using quick posts and passes in the flat, passed the Longhorns to the TCU 13. Consecutive offensive pass interference calls against Sweed, who set an illegal pick, and tight end Jermichael Finley, who pushed off, pushed the Longhorns back to a second-and-40 at the 43. Bailey's 42-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright flush -- and fell into the end zone.

Clash of Clans in a game based on mobile platform, released in Apple iOS on 2nd August of 2012 and for Android platform it came into play on 7th of October, 2013. The game is developed and published by Supercell, who are one of the pioneers in Mobile game development platform. The player has to build an community with his friends and train troops to attack other communities to earn various resources like Gold, Dark Elixir and Elixir. These resources can again be used to build defensive structures and train troops in those buildings to attack and raid other enemy troops. Clash of Clan game has ingle player option too, where the payer gets the opportunity to attack several goblin inhabitant villages to earn gold and elixir to spend in multiplayer campaigns.
For starting, Clash of Clan gives the players 2 numbers of builders to begin with, who can build all kind of structures & buildings. The number of builders can be upgraded to maximum 5 by spending gems, which is the maximum number of builders any player can have. Builders can also be used to upgrade and repair buildings whenever required.
As the game progresses, the Clash of Clans player has to stack up a bigger number of gold and elixir. For this purpose, the player has to build gold mines and elixir collections, where he or she can dig for resources. These resources then need to be stored by building gold and elixir storages. There are also buildings like laboratory, Town hall etc which are used to upgrade and research various type of technology & troops. The town hall is the central building, upgrading which the Clash of Clans game allows the player to upgrade highest number of available buildings and troops. At higher level of the town hall, another useful resource, named dark elixir becomes available, which is an essential part of training more deadly troops and advanced buildings. Defensive buildings are available from level 10 of the town hall, these structures, like the Eagle Artillery, are a vital part in defensive strategy to win in raid against enemy troops. Apart from the defensive buildings like Wizard towers, Archer Towers, Canons, Mortars etc, Clash of Clans players can also build walls around their territory to fortify their defense.
At a higher level of the game, advanced structures like dark barrack is available to train dark elixir troops using dark spells from dark spell factory. Use Clash of Clans Hacks 2016 if you want to get gems for free.
There is a critical unit called gems which is an essential part in the game, as they can be the decisive factor between two players. Gems can be used to buy resources, train troops faster or to empower structures to be built faster. These gems are given in 500 quantities when the Clash of clans player start the game, 250 gems are needed to finish the tutorial, and the player is left with 250 gems to progress through the game, the can be earned doing various activities too, but it's hard to get a huge number of gems which are required if the clash of Clans player want to excel over all other players.
Clans are group of Clash of clans players who join to make their game better than other clans, they can attack or raid together or can help each other to collect resources. Players can also donate troops to form a clan. These joined clans then build a castle where they can train castle Clan troops, who are very useful to win any raid and powerful over most of the type of troops what can be trained from other defensive buildings.
