2008 Governor/U.S. Senate races- Fall 2007
Twice already this year, I have taken some preliminary looks at all of the Gubernatorial and U.S. Senate contests due up in 2008. Now that autumn is upon us, I will do so once again. However, I am hoping to be a little more brief and concise with these, as I have already offered some background on these races earlier and for the fact that there will be plenty of time to discuss them next year. If anyone actually bothers to read these capsules, they should probably expect to find some typos, along with spelling and grammatical errors. If you find any factual inaccuracies, please let me know.
Alabama U.S. Senate
During a cycle, where Republicans may have to defend a lot of territory, they can probably breathe a bit easy about incumbent Jeff Sessions. A recent poll shows him with a large lead over his likely Democrat opponent, State Senator Vivian Davis Figures.
Alaska U.S. Senate
The legal problems surrounding the FBI investigation into Ted Stevens, the longest serving Republican Senator in history is serious and appears to be gathering steam. National Republicans are probably quite hopeful that Stevens will decide to retire. If that were to occur, the GOP bench is deep enough in the state to allow them to be favorites. Democrats would have a tough time winning a federal race in Alaska but they are going to be hopeful as long as Stevens is in legal limbo, with a somewhat credible candidate in a City Councilor named Rocky Caldero in the race and a continuing effort to recruit Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich. Once considered completely safe, things are now far murkier for the incumbent Stevens. Still though, despite all his problems, he would probably still be the favorite in a reelection campaign barring anything short of an indictment. The possibility of criminal charges do not seem so preposterous now.
Arkansas U.S. Senate
Former Governor Mike Huckabee's quest for the Republican Presidential nomination remains a long-shot but after impressing in debates and straw polls, the national buzz surrounding him make it more and more unlikely that he would please a lot of Republicans by deciding to run again for the U.S. Senate. In fact, Huckabee probably believes he is a front-runner to be a Vice Presidential candidate. Thus, Democrat Mark Pryor remains with a leg up for a second term but might possibly have a more competitive Democrat primary if Lt. Governor Bill Halter challenges him, than he would in a general election, potentially against Republican Chuck Banks, a former U.S. Attorney.
Colorado U.S. Senate
Democrats have been confident for some time about their chances of picking up an open U.S. Senate seat with the candidacy of Congressman Mark Udall. However, a couple recent polls show the all but certain GOP candidate, former Congressman and current State Board of Education Member Bob Schaffer in a virtual dead heat. In fact, Schaffer has impressed with his fundraising thus far and should probably not be considered a pushover by any means.
Delaware Governor
There is still not much I am able to say about this contest. Since the early summer, State Treasurer Jack Markell has decided to take on Lt. Governor John Carney for the Democrat nomination. A lot of Republicans remain possible candidates but none have announced. The eventual GOP nominee will need to hope that they can capitalize on the fact that the state has long been governed by a Democrat and people may be ready for a change. However, the fact that both of the Democrat candidates have experience being elected statewide works to their advantage.
Delaware U.S. Senate
Longtime incumbent Democrat Joe Biden still wants to be President, but he probably is prepared to settle for being Secretary of State, another job he has long had his eye on, if another Democrat is elected President in 2008. Before that though, Biden remains likely to hedge his bets and seek another term in the U.S. Senate. This race will probably only be one to keep an eye on if Biden makes a surprise decision not to run and Republican Congressman Mike Castle, who also represents the entire state decides to try himself to pick it up.
Georgia U.S. Senate
Unable to lure former Governor Roy Barnes into the race, Georgia Democrats will instead choose from what could be a crowded field of lesser known candidates. Currently, it appears that field includes a couple of political novices as well as DeKalb County Vernon Jones, who might have a leg up in a multi-candidate primary by being the sole African-American in the race. Whomever emerges will be a serious underdog to freshman Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss. Polls from this month show Chambliss with a healthy lead over any Democrat.
Idaho U.S. Senate
The rumors must have been true after all. The political eyes of the nation were tuned to Idaho a few weeks back after GOP Senator Larry Craig's misadventure in a men's room and subsequent hasty guilty plea brought down a severe media firestorm. Republicans in Washington D.C. were quick to make Craig know in no uncertain terms that he had to go, and he had been expected to formally resign his seat in the Senate at the end of September. However, Craig has now announced that while he will not seek reelection, he will stay in the Senate after all and attempt to clear his name in the Ethics Committee, in a move that would have George Constanza proud. There had been a widespread belief that Idaho's Republican Governor would have appointed Lt. Governor Jim Risch, who had also served for a period of time as Governor, upon a vacancy in that office, as Craig's replacement. Last year, Risch easily dispatched former Democrat Congressman Larry LaRocco to once again be elected Lt. Governor, and as long as he decides to run for what would now possibly be an open seat would be likely to once again easily defeat LaRocco in a 2008 U.S. Senate match-up. The GOP will keep putting pressure on Craig to live up to his promise of resigning and things could be quite ugly if there are hearings into his personal conduct, but at least Republicans can breathe a sigh of relief that the Larry Craig saga at least involved the very Republican state of Idaho.
Illinois U.S. Senate
Democrats control the entire State of Illinois and the Governor has poll ratings that currently have him about as popular as a contagious disease. However, the mess in Springfield is expected to have little effect on Springfield resident, Dick Durbin, the number two Democrat in the Senate. A few little known and not very credible Republicans are attempting to qualify for the ballot, as is physician Steve Sauerberg. But in a development over the past few months, he may now be challenged by businessman Jim Nalepa, who also served many years in the U.S. Army, and who in the '90s ran a couple credible U.S. House races in a heavily Democrat Chicago based district. Nalepa is believed to have the kind of work ethic and aggressive style on the stump to buoy spirits of what is perhaps a very frustrated group of Republican voters in the state, if he were to be the nominee, but few expect him or any Republican to actually be able to beat Durbin, barring a miracle of sorts.
Indiana Governor
In September, a poll was released for the Hoosier State and it showed that in a three way Democrat primary, former Congresswoman Jill Long Thompson, who is considered to be the weakest of the three candidates, has a pretty healthy lead in this stage of the game. However, she also trails first term Republican Governor Mitch Daniels by about eight points, indicating that the Governor is likely to start the fall campaign with a bit of an edge over his eventual Democrat opponent, but it would not be a surefire reelection by any means.
Iowa U.S. Senate
Democrat Tom Harkin is indeed running once again and is a solid favorite for reelection. Whom he winds up facing in the general election is less certain, but for the first time, he may now draw an incumbent GOP Congressman as his opponent. It might instead be businessman Steve Rathje, who has been campaigning for the office for quite some time already.
Kansas U.S. Senate
Republican Pat Roberts seems to be a virtual lock for another term, although there has been a mention of former Congressman Jim Slattery, whose last campaign was as the losing Democrat candidate for Governor back in 1994.
Kentucky U.S. Senate
While Republicans are preparing to wave goodbye to the office of Governor in about month, they are probably feeling more confident about the reelection prospects of Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. The Senator has won a lot of praise for performing his partisan Senate duties on Capitol Hill but some Democrats believe that he might be vulnerable and there continues to be some talk about somewhat of a primary challenge as well. This summer, the outgoing Democrat Attorney General Greg Stumbo, who had just recently been part of a losing ticket in the 2007 primary while seeking the office of Lt. Governor, expressed his plans to challenge McConnell. While Stumbo has won statewide, he is also considered to be someone who has some personal and political flaws as a candidate and some do not believe he will stay in the race. The other name that is most often talked about is that of Charlie Owen, a wealthy cable television magnate who also has a fairly long list of electoral defeats.
Louisiana U.S. Senate
Unlike Kentucky, Republicans are expecting to win the office of Governor this year, which would be a pickup for them, and then will try to defeat what is considered to be a weak Democrat incumbent in Mary Landrieu. It has resembled a roller coaster ride at times though as various potential Republican opponents have taken their name out of consideration. Just when it looked like Landrieu might possibly get a break after all, one of those candidates who was thought to be out of the running suddenly reemerged. State Treasurer John Kennedy, switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican and is currently seeking reelection in a contest where he is unopposed. Due to that fact, most people now expect he will begin a Senate campaign against Landrieu as soon as he begins his new term in Baton Rouge. These developments were considered a bit of a coup by now departed White House aide Karl Rove, who played a heavy role in getting Kennedy to change parties in preparation for a Senate bid.
Maine U.S. Senate
The countdown to the Collins/Allen showdown continues. Incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins has been a very popular moderate for many years and she faces a formidable opponent in Democrat Congressman Tom Allen, who will hope for another strong Democrat year in 2008. There do not appear to be any polls on this contest since one several months ago that showed Collins with a large lead.
Massachusetts U.S. Senate
Since losing his race for the Presidency in 2004, Democrat John Kerry, who is rumored to have served in Vietnam, has seen political career be marred by finding a national comeback attempt to be a non-starter with most in the party, embarrassing "botched jokes", and publicity seeking college students getting tased at events. Despite all of this, as well as some surprisingly low poll numbers in his liberal state at times, Kerry is widely expected to be able to easily capture another term in the Senate. Nonetheless, there has been some talk about a Zogby poll that shows a Republican businessman Jeff Beatty, who also served in the military, FBI, and CIA, in a statistical tie with the longtime incumbent. However, it so happens that particular poll happens to be one of the push variety, in which the questions could have been manipulated to generate a strong response for Beatty. In it, he did perform better in hypothetical matchups than some other potential GOP candidates. One of the wildcards to look out for in 2008 may be if someone like Beatty may wind up being a political annoyance to Kerry, or if nothing will come of it.
Michigan U.S. Senate
At this point, the only announced Republican opponent for veteran Democrat Senator Carl Levin is Andrew "Rocky" Raczkowski, a former State Representative and Afghan War Veteran, who was easily dispatched by Levin in 2002. In a rematch, Raczkowski would need more luck than Rocky Balboa had in his second fight with Apollo Creed.
Minnesota U.S. Senate
Some recent polls at this early stage show Republican Senator Norm Coleman's poll numbers, which once included large leads over top DFL contenders, comedian turned left-wing radio host Al Franken and wealthy attorney Mike Ciresi fall into the single digits. This has Democrats appearing a lot more optimistic about their chances. Still though, Coleman is a strong campaigner, who might be seen as enough of a maverick to not be saddled with any potential backlash against Republicans. He will still have to run a strong race though. Fortunately for him, his opponent will probably be Franken, who may do a better job than Ciresi in appealing to the passions of his party. Franken would be well-funded by his friends in Hollywood and New York City, but still remains an unknown as to what kind of candidate he would be. He has said many controversial things throughout his public life and in a sense may be an opposition researcher's dream opponent. Both candidates, but Franken especially may be dealing with a ceiling of support in which they cannot cross, and potential third party efforts could wind up determining the direction of the race, or even the winner itself among the two major party nominees.
Mississippi U.S. Senate
Republican Senator Thad Cochran has decided to seek a sixth term and may wind up facing little or no opposition from any other candidate.
Missouri Governor
The political comeback of first term GOP Governor Matt Blunt appears to be continuing as recent polls show the once very unpopular Governor now in a virtual dead heat with his likely Democrat opponent, Attorney General Jay Nixon, who has lost a competitive statewide race before. While this race should be a hotly contested one, Blunt may now have at least rebounded to the effect of warding off serious Republican primary challenges, which would prove to be beneficial in a general election campaign.
Montana Governor
Businessman Steve Daines and State Senator Minority Leader Bob Keenan remain potential but apparently not announced Republican candidates against first term Democrat Governor Brian Schweitzer, whose popularity makes him a favorite to win reelection.
Montana U.S. Senate
While other Republicans may jump into the race, the one announced challenger to Democrat Senator Max Baucus is State Representative Mike Lange, who had served as Majority Leader in that body. He would be a heavy underdog to Baucus though.
Nebraska U.S. Senate
Now that saga surrounding the political future of anti-war Republican Senator Chuck Hagel has been decided in favor of a political retirement, things are looking a little clearer in the Cornhusker State, but not completely so. Republicans got a shot in the arm when U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns, the state's popular former Governor, was convinced to leave Washington to return home to make this race. One announced Republican candidate has already agreed to step aside for Johanns, while the party will continue to work to clear the field further, especially as it relates to the candidate of Attorney General Jon Bruning, whose political viability was probably one of the main reasons why Hagel decided he did not want to face that sort of primary challenge. A recent poll shows that Johanns would be a heavy favorite to capture the nomination, and should be expected to be in a good position to win in this very Republican friendly state in November. However, the focus is now on what once looked to be a likely comeback attempt from former U.S. Senator and Governor Bob Kerrey on behalf of Democrats. Kerrey, who has been a University President in New York City for the past several years, now looks somewhat unlikely to run against Johanns and Republicans finally feel they may have caught a break related to Senate contests. Democrats hold out hope that either Kerrey will run after all or that someone like Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey could do well. Still though, any Democrat, particularly one not named Kerrey, would have a difficult task in beating Johanns in Nebraska.
New Hampshire Governor
Some credible Republicans remain potential candidates against popular Democrat Governor John Lynch, but his reelection looks fairly well assured, and Granite State Republicans will likely be focused on other races.
New Hampshire U.S. Senate
Democrats could be forgiven for doing cartwheels when former Governor Jeanne Shaheen decided to leave a post at Harvard University to seek a rematch against the Republican who defeated her in 2002 in a race that featured some shady campaign tactics by Republican operatives in its final stages. The Democrat field has almost completely now been cleared for Shaheen and polls have shown her with a large lead over Senator John Sununu, and one out this week confirms that. However, a couple of the others which had shown Shaheen ahead by landslide proportions would go on to show that the race was far closer than that in newer surveys. If Sununu wants to be reelected, he will have his work cut out for him, but any claims that he is destined to go down in a manner reminiscent of Rick Santorum in 2006 is probably extremely pre-mature or overblown.
New Jersey U.S. Senate
The Garden State does not seem one that is overly prepared to jettison an incumbent Democrat Senator in favor of a Republican but if a few things fall into place, this could be one of the most interesting sleeper races of 2008. A recent poll shows many voters do not believe that soon to be 83 year old Frank Lautenberg deserves to be reelected and it is possible that the right kind of Republican candidate could have a chance in this state. The name of State Assembly Minority Leader Jon Bramnick appears to have entered the mix, but the candidate who might be best equipped to potentially pull off an upset is still Anne Evans Estabrook, a moderate Republican real estate developer, who would be able to call on large amounts of personal financial resources in this politically expensive state.
New Mexico U.S. Senate
At beginning of October, long serving Republican Senator Pete Domenici surprised many with an announcement that he would retire after his current term. He had previously said he would be a candidate but has now made a decision to not run again, due largely to an unfortunate health diagnosis. Also, Domenici, who had been caught up in a brouhaha over the firing of the U.S. Attorney for New Mexico, had seen his once massive popularity in New Mexico tumble into dangerously low levels in at least one recent poll. Based on that, Democrats would have perhaps decided to mount a more vigorous race against Domenici, but none of the announced candidates in the field would have been seen as an extreme threat to the incumbent. With Domenici leaving though, it obviously brings about a more fluid situation, that conventional wisdom would seem to benefit Democrats. It could be though that eventually an open seat might be a blessing in disguise for Republicans due to what would have been questions about Domenici's health and ethics. The events of this past week have furthermore been a little disappointing to Democrats insomuch as their top two targets to run, Governor Bill Richardson, who is currently running for President decided he would under no circumstances change his focus as well as the announcement from Congressman Tom Udall, that he would not try to join his cousins Democrat Congressman Mark Udall of Colorado or incumbent Republican Senator Gordon Smith of Oregon, in seeking a spot in the upper chamber. Therefore, Democrats are now looking at potential candidacies of Lt. Governor Diane Denish, Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chavez, and former Attorney General Patricia Madrid in addition to the lesser known candidates who were already running against Domenici. Things are not completely certain for Republicans either, but Domenici protégé Heather Wilson, a Congresswoman, who has won several tough races in a Democrat leaning district has already declared her intent to run. In 2006, Wilson edged by Madrid under very tough circumstances for Republicans, but has seen been caught up in the same sort of issues related to the U.S. Attorneys matter that have troubled Domenici. She may have determined that a statewide race may be an better bet for her than another campaign in a district that was carried in 2004 by John Kerry. A somewhat more conservative Congressman Steve Pearce is also a potential candidate, but Republicans would love to avoid that sort of statewide primary, in addition to leaving two Congressional seats open. All in all, this race will definitely be a lot more on the Democrats' radar than it would have been if an incumbent were still both very popular and seeking reelection, but they may also have to try to win the seat without a couple of its stronger figures.
North Carolina Governor
A new poll shows two very close races for the nominations to be the new Governor of North Carolina as well as a general election in which voters appear open to electing either another Democrat or the first Republican in many years. There is a belief that the primary between Democrat Lt. Governor Bev Perdue and State Treasurer Richard Moore may be showing some potential of being a damaging one. Republicans will have a competitive one as well with three announced candidates, attorney Bill Graham, ex State Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr, and State Senator Fred Smith, appearing to be about even at this point with an extreme amount of undecided voters. The Democrats can both claim to have already been elected statewide, but if their primary is overly nasty and the voters are in the mood for a change in state government, the eventual Republican nominee will very much have a chance here.
North Carolina U.S. Senate
Republican freshman Senator Elizabeth Dole continues to show polling numbers that might be described as average at best, but remains a favorite at this point to win reelection. Several credible Democrats have already passed on this race and several more are still mentioned, but thus far, the only announced candidate would be considered viable is an investment banker named Jim Neal. Dole probably will not win in a cakewalk, but the bottom line is that when a poll from a Democrat firm shows her holding leads of at least several points over every Democrat offered, including that of legendary UNC basketball coach Dean Smith, she probably starts off as more likely to win than not.
North Dakota Governor
Republican Governor John Hoeven is extremely popular and is seeking a third term. He will be heavily favored over his eventual Democrat opponent which might potentially be either State Senator Tim Mathern or State Senator Joel Heitkamp.
Oklahoma U.S. Senate
As long as the only Democrat seeking to oppose Republican Senator Jim Inhofe is Andrew Rice, a youthful and very liberal State Senator, the very conservative incumbent probably has little reason to worry.
Oregon U.S. Senate
Republican Gordon Smith has typically been pretty popular in his state over the years and has broken with the Bush Administration on such issues as Iraq, but still Democrats feel that the political nature of the liberal leaning state could give them a shot at ousting the incumbent. With several prominent Democrats having taken their names out of the running, the party now is resting its hopes on the candidacy of State House Speaker Jeff Merkley, who should be expected to run a credible race, but in all honesty is probably about fourth or fifth on the depth chart as to whom the party wanted to run. Smith may also catch a break due to the Independent candidacy of ex National Endowment for the Arts Chair John Frohnmeyer who will be running to the left in his race.
Rhode Island U.S. Senate
Thus far, Democrat Senator Jack Reed continues to have this contest to himself.
South Carolina U.S. Senate
For months, there has been talk that freshman Republican Senator Lindsey Graham may have problems with his own party's base over issues related to immigration and some foreign policy matters. While some fairly high profile Republican names are still mentioned as potential primary opponents for Graham, that movement may have lost its moment over the past few months. Thus far, Graham is only facing some political unknowns in the GOP primary. The Democrats may be come to picking up a candidate if former State Party Joe Erwin decides to make this race, either as a prelude or substitute for a 2010 run for Governor. In a conservative state like South Carolina, Graham, absent a major third party or independent challenge from the right, would be a solid favorite over any Democrat.
South Dakota U.S. Senate
Democrat Tim Johnson has now returned to the U.S. Senate after missing many months after nearly dying in late 2006. The conventional wisdom says that Johnson will seek another term, despite not completely regaining all of his mobility or speaking abilities. If Johnson runs again, he will be tough to beat. People love a comeback story and some more second tier Republicans who have already gotten into the race such as State Representative Joel Dykstra or businessman Sam Kephart would find it difficult to campaign against Johnson without crossing some sort of line which Democrats might try to exploit as being unfair to a courageous disabled man. It should not be considered an absolute given that Johnson will decide to run again though. If he chooses to retire, the race will drastically change, especially since there is talk that Congresswoman Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, who is elected by the state at large, would probably choose to run for reelection in a seat where she has become pretty much entrenched rather than seek an open Senate seat. If the seat were to be open, Republicans would hope that popular Governor Mike Rounds would then decide to run.
Tennessee U.S. Senate
Some Democrats are now being mentioned as potential candidates and businessman Mike McWherter, whose father served as Governor, appears to have jumped in the race, but first term incumbent Lamar Alexander is a heavy favorite for reelection and even seems to be brining back a red and black plaid motif for his campaign.
Texas U.S. Senate
Some elements in the left-wing netroots movement seem to be excited about an attempt to defeat another freshman Republican Senator John Cornyn, whose public approval numbers have not always been stellar. They seem to be particularly interested in a recent liberal sponsored poll that shows State Representative Rick Noriega could emerge as a surprisingly strong Democrat candidate. The validity of that poll though as well as the belief that a Republican could be beaten in a state like Texas might be similar to that of people who think that a Republican could unseat John Kerry in Massachusetts. In order to face Cornyn, Noriega would first need to get past a much more well-funded primary opponent in wealthy trial attorney Mikal Watts.
Utah Governor
Republican Governor Jon Huntsman Jr. remains well on track towards cruising to a second term in Salt Lake City.
Vermont Governor
Not much to report from the liberal leaning Green Mountain State where popular Republican Governor Jim Douglas would be the favorite for another two year term. No opponents have formally surfaced but there is talk apparently that Republican State Senator Vincent Illuzi may either run against Douglas as either a Republican or as a Democrat. While it may not matter too much in this type of race, there is always a chance in close Vermont races that Democrats and the Progressive Party could split the vote and that would benefit Republicans.
Virginia U.S. Senate
Democrats are downright giddy now that longtime popular Republican Senator John Warner has announced his retirement and popular former Democrat Governor Mark Warner, who is not related to the Senator, has jumped into the contest to replace him. While there is somewhat of a possibility that poll respondents may be a little confused by the identical surnames of the incumbent and the Democrat candidate, Mark Warner starts off the race holding extremely large leads over two potential Republican opponents in former Governor Jim Gilmore or Congressman Tom Davis, a more moderate member of the GOP, who would be of the John Warner mold, and who many conservatives may also come to rally around as the best chance to hold the seat. Soon, it will be decided whether the Republican candidate will be decided via primary election or party convention and the method will have much to say as to who is more likely to be nominated and if the eventual nominee will start off the general election campaign less wounded in what will be a very tough race against Mark Warner. Right now, it looks like Warner could potentially sail to an easy pickup for the Democrats, but the race should be considered far from over, as long as someone like Tom Davis is still an unknown name to many in the state. Give the early edge to Warner for what would probably be the top pickup opportunity in the Senate next year, but it is too early to completely write the Republicans off, especially if Davis is able to capture the party's nod.
Washington Governor
Former Republican State Senator Dino Rossi, who lost a very close and controversial election in 2002 to now Democrat Governor Christine Gregoire has recently resigned as the head of a non-profit organization in a move that is widely seen as a preparation for a long expected second run for Governor. It should be a hotly contested race, with Gregoire perhaps having a slight edge due to incumbency and the political nature of the state. Many people still believe that Rossi was rightfully elected in 2002 and that could work to his advantage. If for some reason, Rossi decides not to run, State Attorney General Rob McKenna would be another strong Republican challenger.
West Virginia Governor
It looks like Republicans might wind up running businessman Bob Adams, who has a couple of political losses under his belt against popular Democrat first term Governor Joe Manchin, but that would not be much of a contest.
West Virginia U.S. Senate
Some Republicans held out hope that Secretary of State Betty Ireland could be persuaded to forgo a reelection campaign to mount a credible but uphill race against veteran incumbent Democrat Jay Rockefeller, but she disappointed many in the GOP by announcing she would retire from politics all together. Thus, the only Republican who may be able to force Rockefeller to spend any money whatsoever in order to capture another term is wealthy businessman John Raese, who is also becoming somewhat of a frequent losing candidate in West Virginia.
Wyoming U.S. Senate-A
The Cowboy State will see a very competitive U.S. House contest and possibly a slightly competitive U.S. Senate race in a different contest, but in this regularly scheduled election, Republican Senator Mike Enzi, who once owned a shoe store, will walk all over any challengers.
Wyoming U.S. Senate- B
Appointed Republican Senator John Barrasso may still draw one or more serious Republican primary opponents, but there does not seem to be any sort of great urgency along those lines at this time. No Democrats have formally gotten into the race either, all though some names are mentioned, topped by the potential candidacy of former Governor Mike Sullivan, whose last electoral contest was a defeat for the U.S. Senate in 1994. Barrasso or most other Republicans would have a distinct edge in any federal race in Wyoming.

Case Study
The previous camp logo was a pair of owls, in honor of the day camp's founders, Grandin Wise and George K. Bird. During our visit, we spotted lots of owl art created by campers over the years—clearly a meaningful symbol. This discovery, along with the camp's long history, informed the decision to keep an owl as part of the redesigned identity.
AAF Capital Region Bronze
UCDA Design Excellence
Connecting History and Place
Along with honoring the beloved mascot, we felt it was important to incorporate the host school's shield in the new logo. Another key factor was that the final mark would need to appeal to boys and girls ages three to 18. The end result is a friendly shield-shaped owl. The identity standards included an extension of the color and type palette we developed for Noble and Greenough School.
Meeting People Where They Are
Another objective for the project was to rethink the camp's communications system. Research showed that parents preferred to get their information from the camp's website over the comprehensive printed brochure. We designed a responsive, graphic, easy to navigate website that delivers content year-round.
A Mini Brochure
To complement the website, we created a scaled back brochure highlighting key selling points, and a series of coordinating business cards. Each card includes a different photo from the camp, twelve in all, making the business card a collector's item.
Camper Schwag
When the campers arrive they receive a branded t-shirt, water bottle, and backpack as keepsakes. The material colors selected were based on the new color palette, with the new logo mark displayed in the school's signature blue hue. In addition, the achievement buttons are an iconic system relating to the new, bold logo.

Inashiro's in a pinch and it looks like the defending summer Koushien champions may not repeat.
What They Say:
Inashiro vs Ugumori. At the bottom of the seventh, Tadano and Narumiya are having a difficult time seeing eye to eye against the highly offensive Ugumori batters. Umemiya hits a big one and Ugumori turns the game around with two runs! The runner-up team at nationals is cornered.
The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
This had every making of an upset. A cocky Inashiro team allowed chances to pass by them because there was always next inning. They underestimated the opposing pitcher because he's only shown so much and never expected a trump card in his arsenal. He has a fastball, a curveball, and an even curvier curveball. It's a tough mixture to deal with and even Narumiya was fooled by it.
Behind by a run in the eighth and with two men on, they finally bring their ace Narumiya to the mound. This isn't how Inashiro wanted this game to go at all. They wanted to give Narumiya, who's had to pitch over 100 balls in every game he's started, some much needed rest before a key rematch against Seidou. When Seidou, and their starting pitcher Sawamura, had only their next opponent in mind, Inashiro just had Seidou in their scope. They've struggled and I'm hard pressed to believe that Narumiya can bring them back alone. But then again, this could be Bumgarner all over again.
One, two, three and the three hole for Ugumori is out from Narumiya's slick pitching. And now it's ace v. ace in a match that'll most certainly swing the game in one team's favor. On a breaking ball almost in the ground, Ugumori gets a man on third. A single will bring the third base runner home and the first base runner maybe to third. A deep single or a double will definitely do both. Inashiro's in a pinch.
But there's a problem in paradise. Narumiya is still underestimating the opposing side, thinking he can force a fastball for the final strike. Not just that, their current catcher is no Harada. He struggles with catching the changeup and Narumiya is well above his skill level. What they need is Miyuki, but what they got was a double and two runs allowed for Narumiya's inherited runners. Inashiro's catcher tried to force the out at home after a deep double and relay back home. Not enough. Narumiya is experiencing the Koushien in the first year and the Koushien finals just last summer all over again. The coach has already called for another pitcher to start warming up and it looks like it's day over for Narumiya, perhaps even without an out.
That was it. Inashiro's upset in the second round of the tournament because of overconfidence, lack of leadership, and Narumiya's own cocky attitude. One hit changed it all.
In Summary:
There's no rematch for Seidou. No Cinderella story of coming back and defeating the team that beat you before and no rematch of Sawamura against Shirakawa Katsuyuki, the dude he hit. There's just the promise of a title for Seidou and next year for Inashiro. This is baseball.

Loch Lomond is the largest body of freshwater in mainland Britain. It has been used by generations of Scots and visitors for boating, water skiing, bathing and other less active pleasures such as picnicking or just enjoying the unique atmosphere and scenery.

Why One Would Need to Exercise with Trampoline
Adults can acquire a number of benefits the moment he or she has opted to use trampoline exercise as you will find out here. Jumping on the trampoline makes one experience a brief weightless state the moment one jumps but one feels as though he or she has experienced double or triple gravity the moment he or she lands. As you land and get back again, there are a myriad benefits you draw from thin jumping even as you have so much fun. It is essential to note that trampoline exercise tend to be far much effective when compared to jogging as you will find out here. One hour on the trampoline has proven to be more effective when compared to one-hour jogging. As one would check here, breathlessness tend to cause one metabolism. One, as a result, would need to know that rebounding on trampoline tends to be very effective when it comes to cutting of weight as he or she would find out here.
As you will note from this article, rebounding at a moderate pace makes one breath normally, rebound for long and at the same time tend to stress his or her metabolism less. As you can check here, you would, as a result, need to rebound for about 15 to 20 minutes of moderate intensity which should be done for at least three times a week for effective weight loss.
It is also worth noting that the trampoline exercise boosts the lymphatic flow in the body. Lymphatic system is the system of getting rid of toxins, body waste or any other unwanted waste from the body.
While the cardiovascular system relies on the heart where it pumps the blood, the lymphatic system tend to rely on the body-conscious movement something one cannot by visiting the full article. Rebounding on a trampoline tends to cause the lymphatic valves to close and open and hence increase the lymph flow up to 15 times.
In the same line, trampoline exercise also tend to help in facilitating of the detoxification mechanisms in the body. As one interchange between the weightless moment and the twice gravity moment, the body tends to gain a lot from the exercise. The shift of gravity tends to benefit the cells and muscles of the body providing it with benefits accrued to the lymphatic system.
One would need to know that the more the blood flows in the body, the more the lymphatic fluids tend to leak out of the blood vessels and into the tissues. It would also be essential for one to ensure that one does trampoline exercise as way of bathing the tissues. Any waste, damaged cells and bacteria in the body tissues is collected and hence rebound tend to be very effective when it comes to detoxification. There is great content and full articles offering more benefits of trampoline exercise reason why one would need to buy personal trampoline.

I didn't get much past 10,000 words. But that's okay. The idea of NaNoWriMo is less about completing the herculean task of writing 50,000 words (I couldn't seem to eek out the time each day to write over 1,600 words and ended up horribly behind from nearly the beginning) but in beginning a novel. I have acheived that. I may not be a 50,000 word winner but I am a thankful participant because now I have a new novel to work on, and workshop with my friends. I've already begun editing down the wordiness that happened in my attempt to get the word count.
So, I'm off to spend my holiday in a few weeks finding out how Sydney and Jerome get on in Transitions.
Chapter 8: Intruder
Ms. Griffiths gave Jerome the feeling that he was facing an enemy, but he couldn't put his finger on the cause. She was as good as her word, leaving him alone to enjoy the festivities earned through hard work. It was official now, he had his degree in International Marketing from King's College London. He was celebrated by friends and family alike and had done the near impossible of making his father proud. He had been able to thoroughly sink into the enjoyment of the past two days, but not without wondering what awaited him on Wednesday afternoon.
It had brought him back to The Trusty Servant. Perhaps this was part of the reason Jerome felt naturally at odds with Griffiths, she seemed to infiltrate the most prized areas of his life.
"You don't seem please to be meeting me here Mr. Davies. I have it on good authority that you frequent this establishment several times a month."
"Your information should have also told you that I never bring women here, Ms. Griffiths. Are you having me followed?" How else would she have known his habits so intimately as to email his favorite pub as a meeting location this morning?
"My employers are not having you tailed, no. But considerable resources are used to ascertain whether or not a target is a good candidate for the position you are about to be offered Mr. Davies."
"Target? Candidate? These don't sound reassuring Ms. Griffiths." Jerome's unease continued to grow. "Next you're going to tell me you've ordered my favorite pint and grub as my last meal before your employers drag me off to parts unknown."
"That is certainly not my intention." At last he'd gotten her to use the first person. "My employers believe it is important to approach candidates in environs which are comfortable to them, that is all my choice of meeting location is meant to accomplish."
"Unfortunately that has not worked Ms. Griffiths. Why don't we proceed to the business at hand so we can each be on our way and end this mutually dissatisfying association?"
Ms. Griffiths looked rather displeased, but continued on. "My employers are an NGO called the Bloom Partnership. They work in the field of information gathering and are interested in bringing you on as an information agent."
"So, you're recruiting me for MI6 then? Is this some ploy derived from a James Bond movie? What are you really after Ms. Griffiths? This is certainly implausible."
"Be it implausible, it is true. As I said they are an NGO, they are non-governmental. It would not be working for British Intelligence of the American CIA. You would be working for a separate organization which shares information it gathers with those organizations and those like it. You're background, education, and place in society make you an ideal candidate for the Partnership."
"I feel a but coming on Ms. Griffiths. What is it?"
"I have advocated to my supervisor that I do not find your manners to be suitable for the job at hand, but I am to be overruled and you are to be offered the position."
"And what would that do to the position I've accepted? What of that?"
"It would become your cover, Mr. Davies. The type of work you have chosen is the perfect excuse to travel and make the necessary connections to gather information."
"And what of my holiday?"
"You would be asked to cut it short in order to be trained by the Partnerships operatives and assigned your own research analyst. To the outside world your holiday remains the same, but there is simply a small change of itinerary known only to you."
Jerome was floored. He took a moment to finish the pint he had been drinking throughout this conversation. Could anything Ms. Griffiths said be true? Did he want it to be? Jerome had chosen to leave the life of government and policy at a young age not because it didn't fascinate him, but because it did. It had become all encompassing and had brought out the darkest parts of his personality. Marketing had been the answer to keep his life light and fun. Use the knowledge gained during his study of international relations to instead work to sell goods and package brands for the international market. Live a comfortable life outside of the combative arena of international politics. He was now being asked to dive back in to a world he thought he had left well behind him.
"I don't have an answer for you Ms. Griffiths. I thought this world was well behind me."
"I understand that Mr. Davies. This is not a scenario where you need to know right now. In a few days a courier will bring you travel documents for the training I've mentioned. You will have an opportunity to walk away then, or after the training. No questions will be asked. The Bloom Partnership simply asks that you think about the opportunity they are offering to do the work of an intelligence offer without the game of espionage."
With that Ms. Griffiths excused herself from their small table and made her way to the exit. Jerome sat for awhile longer, ordering himself another pint while his mind chewed away on the job he had just been offered.

550 King St., Charleston, South Carolina 29403, United States
La vie en rose
Cocktail scene
As pleasant as Paris in spring
First impression?
Felix is most obviously channeling Paris, but that doesn't make it any less charming. A curved marble-topped bar is right near the door, lighting is soft and softly reflected in curved mirrors, vintage French posters are the art on the walls, and the seating is all soft leather in a charming and neutral camel brown.
Cool. So who's there?
Because of its location (and the fact that at off times, sometimes the staff stands outside the door greeting passers by), tourists do frequent tables here, but what is so fun is that the bar has learned to cater to the food and beverage folks and thus, have made it a hip place to hang out as well. It's a wonderful mix.
How are the drinks?
There has been some turnover behind the stick here, but the cocktail game is still the name of the game here, anchored by the "Felix & Tonic," cognac and a locally-made tonic. French liquors, of course, dominate many of the recipes, but there are three cocktails on draft, two of which are rum, which firmly remembers that this is a Charleston bar after all and there are palmetto trees lining King Street. If you'd rather wine, then there are plenty of choices starting at $8.
Worth ordering something to eat, too?
Snack or sup, it's a choose-your-own adventure type of spot, but if it is a full meal you desire, then think tapas-style and order a few, that is, unless you go for the burger here, a regular breakout hit with Brasstown organic beef, caramelized onions, and oozing—extra napkins needed—raclette, all atop a sesame bun and served with delicious, crispy fries.
Did the staff do you right?
The staff seems to enjoy their work and want you to have a wonderful experience too. Table service often goes above and beyond, since there is a lot of adding another round, one more plate, or other such rambling orders, and they are kind and accommodating.
Wrap it up: what are we coming here for?
This place is just as good a place to bring your parents as it is to bring your date, friends, or go solo.

Lawyer and human rights defender Eren Keskin, although not a journalist by profession, faces a total of 129 trials for briefly assuming the post of co-editor-in-chief of the shuttered Özgür Gündem daily in an act of solidarity with the pro-Kurdish newspaper.
Keskin was sentenced to a total of 7.5 years in prison along with former Özgür Gündem managing editor Reyhan Çapan in two separate trials on 29 March 2018: one on charge of "denigrating Turkishness, the Republic, and the foundation and institutions of the state" and the other of "insulting the president."
Speaking during a press conference and solidarity event on 3 April 2018 at the Istanbul branch of the Human Rights Association (İHD), Keskin expressed her frustration with the rulings. "Giving someone such a lengthy prison sentence for merely appearing as the editor-in-chief of a newspaper is in breach of all [international human rights] conventions where Turkey is a signatory. The Turkish Republic is not a constitutional state, we already know that, but why do European Union members who have also signed these conventions remain silent?"
Seventy-nine of the trials against Keskin have been concluded as of 3 April 2018. Keskin has been sentenced to a total of 12.5 years in prison and fined a total amount of TL 456,000 (93,000 euros) in those cases. Most of the cases are currently in appeal stage. The total amount of the judicial fines upheld is TL 105,000 (21,400 euros).
Keskin will have to spend a day in prison for every TL 20 she fails to pay.
Among the 79 trials against Keskin that have been finalized to date, only four were dismissed due to either acquittal or the statute of limitations.
"Özgür Gündem main trial"
A travel ban issued against Keskin in the "Özgür Gündem main trial" was lifted by a decision of the Istanbul 23rd High Criminal Court on 10 October 2018, at the end of the 10th hearing in the long-running case.
Keskin faces life imprisonment in the trial, in which she is indicted alongside eight other defendants including writer Aslı Erdoğan and linguist Necmiye Alpay, both of whom were on the newspaper's advisory board, as well as the newspaper's former responsible managing editor İnan Kızılkaya and publisher Kemal Sancılı.
The charges in the "Özgür Gündem main trial," overseen by the 23rd High Criminal Court of Istanbul, are "disrupting the integrity of the state and the unity of the nation," "membership in a terrorist organization" and "terrorism propaganda."
At the latest hearing of this case, held on 10 April 2019, the court ruled to issue a memo to the 13th High Criminal Court of Istanbul concerning the merging of the files against Eren Keskin. The court also ruled to hand over the case file to the prosecution for the drafting of their final opinion and adjourned the trial until 3 July 2019.
Trial on "propaganda" charge
Eren Keskin appeared before the 14th High Criminal Court of Istanbul on 21 May 2019 for the final hearing of her trial -- along with 23 other defendants that included former Özgür Gündem editors and columnists -- on the charges of "praising crime or a criminal," "inciting crime" and "disseminating terrorist propaganda."
Addressing the court for her defense statement, Keskin said she had her name included in the newspaper's masthead for the sole purpose of defending freedom of the press. Keskin said that she supported freedom of thought and expression. She added: "I don't believe I have committed a crime. I don't believe thought is a crime. I request my acquittal."
Keskin's lawyer Özcan Kılıç reminded the court that his client had her name in the newspaper's masthead to lend support tp the newspaper and that it was out of question that she had a say in the news stories and articles published in the newspaper. Kılıç added that punishing Hüseyin Aykol, Eren Keskin and Reyhan Çapan would be against the principal of individual criminal responsibility. He ended his defense statement by saying "I insist that you don't render a verdict at this stage but if you must do so, I request acquittal. And I request for the case file of Eren Keskin to be merged with the case file overseen by the 23rd High Criminal Court of Istanbul."
Asked for their final words before the announcement of the verdict, Eren Keskin and Reyhan Çapan requested to be acquitted.
At the end of the hearing, the court convicted Keskin and six other defendants, including Co-Editor-in-Chief Hüseyin Akyol, managing editor Reyhan Çapan, columnists Reyhan Hacıoğlu and Ayşe Batumlu, of "disseminating propaganda for a terrorist organization."Keskin and Çapan were each given a prison sentence of 3 years and 9 months. The sentences were not deferred.

Middle school at Moses Brown begins with Team Trips, when students and their new teachers go on a four-day retreat to a rural location. These trips are responsible for many life-long friendships, and ensure that every school year begins with a strong sense of community among classmates, and between grades. This emotional safety and shared trust helps us be the best learners, teachers, friends, classmates, and people we can be.
For many students, this is their first extended time away from home, which can be challenging for some. In the course of these trips, children learn self-reliance and how to work as a member of a team. They learn how to overcome obstacles and understand their strengths and liabilities. Learning to care for themselves and others, to organize their gear and pack their clothes, and to be an effective follower, helper, and leader establishes a foundation of confidence that helps every child address the challenges ahead.
In addition to team trips, sixth graders at Moses Brown learn about the wider world by connecting with students at the Islamic School of Rhode Island, by welcoming new immigrants to America at the Refugee Dream Center, and by raising money to buy books for schoolchildren in Jamaica. With frequent guest speakers and special programming, their daily classes are often enlivened by outside experts who come to Moses Brown to share their knowledge with the next generation of scholars, artists, athletes, learners, and leaders.
It's all part of bringing our classrooms to the world and the world to our classrooms, because some things can't be conveyed in a essay, white paper, or textbook.

Nick has more than 20 years of experience working with high-profile FMCG brands including Jeyes, Kettle Foods and Hain Daniels.

There are many exciting developments happening for us this year, including the upcoming opening of our brand-new factory, and these appointments further demonstrate our commitment to investing in the future of the company."

The Politics of Splitting the Check on a First Date
Earning money is hard. Dating is hard. Deciding when, how, and on whom to spend your money on a first date? Also hard, people! It's fraught with peril and anxiety. Splitting the check on a first date is governed by a complex yet ill-defined set of rules rooted in heteronormative, gender-normative, and otherwise normative ideologies. These systems themselves are complex, ill-defined, and also completely... outdated. (Puns!) All of which is to say, you probably have no fucking clue how to tackle the check when it arrives at the table of your first date.
Now, I can't tell you exactly what you should do, because "should" depends on a near-infinite array of factors, including your age, level of income, and number of pomegranate margaritas crushed. But I can tell you how to read the room, take the temperature, and translate the subtlest signals into useable inferences for smoothly settling up on that first-date bill. Remember, these aren't ironclad instructions. You still need to go with your gut (which, hopefully, is not as large as mine).
"Let me buy you... "
If you start your invitation with these words, you're responsible for the whole check. True, "dinner" is significantly less expensive than "dinner, plus three bottles of wine, then a cocktail and a cab home," and you may be inclined to equivocate as such. Do not!
This part of speech is an offer: "come hang out with me, and I will pay for all your tasty pomegranate margaritas." You're incentivizing a stranger with the promise of free food & drink because you want to make yourself easier to potentially grope later, right? Right! That means you're on the hook for any and all costs that lead to said potential groping. Now, you may not end up paying the tab for the whole evening; that remains to be seen. But at no point -- even if you moved to a bar, ordered a second dessert, or had to pay for valet parking -- is any portion of this first date the financial responsibility of the person you dragged with you.
Who initiated?
Let's say that no one kicked off this probably doomed courtship with the promise of free pommy margs. In that case, conventional wisdom states that the person who "initiated" the date is the one who should pay for it. This is largely true, but not without exception.
Location, location, location
Like actual politics, navigating the choppy waters of check-coverage on a first date is a game. Unlike actual politics, the arena in which you "play" is a restaurant or bar, not a room in Washington DC with high ceilings and 535 old white dudes. (Hopefully. If you took your first date to Capitol Hill, you are undateable, and I cannot help you. Godspeed.)
What kind of place are you in: pricey or cheap? How formal are we talking here? What's the "vibe?" Does it even "have" a "vibe?" These are the questions you must consider as you case the joint, for their answers are critical to your decision.
Generally speaking, if the restaurant is "fancy," the person who suggested it is responsible for the bill. (For the purposes of this article, let's define this as a loose combo of the following: $25 or more for an entree; one or less hamburgers listed on the menu; white tablecloths; napkins that people in bowties re-fold for you when you go to the bathroom; et cetera.) This is simply good manners. After all, you're on a first date, which will, in all likelihood, lead nowhere. If you volunteer a restaurant where meals are a bundle, you're also volunteering to drop said bundle. Period full stop. (Again, this isn't to say that you will end up paying for everything, but you should be prepared to.)
However, if the place is not fancy, there are still plenty of oblique courtship machinations to be deciphered when the check comes. Onward!
Ordering: a delicate waltz
Throughout the evening, take note of what your counterpart is ordering. The idea is to keep your own purchases within about 10% of theirs. This is as tactical as it is practical. To wit:
Tactically, you don't want to leap way out in front -- or fall way behind -- your romantic interest's order. If she calls for a Buffalo chicken sandwich, you should not then request a chateaubriand. But don't demand a grilled cheese from the kids' menu and desperately flail your expired college ID around, either. (Side note: where the fuck did you go for your first date, Dave & Buster's?)
Why? First dates are all about finding common ground. "I could sex this person and not hate it" is what you're aiming for here, and non-hateable sexing is based on perceived equality. Capitalism, on the other hand, is all about celebrating how much better of a person you are than people who have less money than you. Do you see where this is headed? Insecurity about money is not sexy, and drastically out-ordering or under-ordering is a sure way to instill it in your special friend. Getting approximately the same dollar amount of food is a good way to avoid this for now.
Practically, you'll also want to keep your expenses closely matched throughout the meal. If you pull this off successfully, you have an escape hatch: you can each put cards down, split it evenly, and leave the Dave & Buster's headed separate ways with little financial wear or anxiety to show for it.
Hailing the check
At some point, the first date will be over. If it went well, the server may come to your table multiple times before it dawns on one of you that you should ask for the check. This is a good sign. If, by contrast, you've barely finished your entree when you look up to find your date making frantic "check-please" gestures in the waitstaff's general direction, assume your first date is rapidly nearing its conclusion. Could it be that you ordered too many pommy margs?
No. Impossible. Nevertheless, the next step is the most critical, so get your shit together and focus.
Physical dramedy: reaches, shrugs, and rummages
Now that the check is on your table, the real first-date fun begins. Body language is absolutely crucial to deciphering the appropriate payment maneuvers. Below, I've detailed six common behaviors, and their approximate implications.
- The Reach: In the Seinfeld episode "The Opera," George Costanza (all honor to his name) introduced this concept as an empty gesture. It is. There's not a two-top in the world big enough to obstruct someone from laying hands on the bill if they actually want to see it. Not even at Dave & Buster's!
- The Rummage: A second-cousin of The Reach, blindly fumbling about for a wallet is a slightly more subtle way of indicating to your date that you think they should pay.
- The Cold Shoulder: If, upon the arrival of your check, your date pretends it simply doesn't exist, you're dealing with one of two types -- either a sociopathic operator who expects you to pay, or a clueless dolt who can't hold their pomegranate margaritas. A thoroughly bad sign, in both cases.
- The Snatch & Grab: If your date immediately springs for the billfold, your only counter is the Warm Shrug. Anything more or less will make you seem disinterested or entitled. Neither bodes well for a budding relationship.
- The Warm Shrug: Dating etiquette dictates you must offer protest when your date makes a quick stab for the bill. Shrug your shoulders and turn your palms to the ceiling in an appeal for the privilege of paying. This can be accompanied with words of mild disagreement for added effect.
- The Adamant Overrule: The gauntlet having been thrown, the initial check-picker-upper is faced with a choice. Does he/she accede to a split, or to insist on paying? If it's the latter, look for this move. One part bluster, one part compassion, this is the final sign for which you must wait before discontinuing your ministrations. The check is theirs.
Go dutch, then go home
In lieu of the anxiety, platitudes, and charades, you may decide that you should pay half the bill, and your date should cover the other half. Congratulations! This is the simplest solution, and the most equitable one. It's progressive, too. Splitting the check eschews arcane gender assumptions for the pure fairness of halfsies. So you've got that going for you. Which is nice.
Just the tip (not, like, sex)
The American gratuity system has a politics all its own, and I've stepped in that dogshit plenty. If you went Dutch, a consequential dilemma looms. How much do you tip? How much did your date tip? Do you seem cheap? Do they? Remember, anything under 15% means your date is an unloveable, free-market-fetishizing libertarian. Or just bad at math. One of those two.
But if you've arrived at a single-payer solution for your check, and you are the payer, it's not uncommon for your date to offer to leave the tip in cash. This is another good sign. It says, "Hey, not only do I want to contribute, but I also know that most servers appreciate their tips in cash. I'm both reasonable, and thoughtful. I could, perhaps, make the sex with you." Seal the deal with a spirited multi-player game on one of D&B's several Time Crisis 2 arcade machines, then commence the bone-a-thon.
Conclusion (possibly, like, sex)
The simple reality is that paying for things with a stranger is always uncomfortable at first, especially on a first date, where there's an implicit understanding that hanky-panky may be afoot. In fact, in this regard, handling the check isn't dissimilar from the hanky-panky itself. Good bill-politicking and good intimacy are even governed by the comparable common-sense guidelines: be generous, be reasonable, and communicate openly. Don't do anything that might make you or your companion uncomfortable. Unless they're somehow "uncomfortable" with drinking nine pomegranate margaritas in an action-packed arcadestaurant, in which case, honestly, this whole thing was doomed from the start.

First Whitchurch homes completed as residents move in
The first customers of our new flats in Whitchurch have moved in and are making themselves at home.
We've recently completed the first eight homes of 39 new affordable properties being built at The Bridles in partnership with national developer Bellway. It's one of two developments in the village at the moment, as we're also working in partnership with Barratts to build 40 new affordable homes at Queen Charlton Lane.
Development Officer Abby Ranger said: "We know there's a real need for more affordable housing right across the area and are pleased to have completed our first homes on this site. Average house prices locally are more than ten times average incomes according to research from the National Housing Federation and we're committed to provide more quality, affordable hoes.
"These homes are just six miles from the centre of Bristol and have great transport links to the wider area. We're sure they're going to prove popular with people."
The remaining homes at The Bridles and Queen Charlton Lane will be a mixture of social rent and shared ownership, are due to be completed in phases between now and the end of 2019. They form part of our ambition to deliver 14,000 new homes over the next ten years.

By WTNH 8 News (6/17/10)
Dairy farming has been slowly drying up in Connecticut all around the country and rising milk prices isn't the solution to help struggling farmers.
"Milk prices came up for a short time but they've gone back down again," said Brad Davis a farmer in Sterling. Davis says he still struggles on his dairy farm even though a new baby cow graced his farm six months ago. "Moses is doing wonderful," said Davis. "He's part of the family here now and he's here to stay."
Davis says he has watched the number of dairy farmers in Connecticut decrease over the years. Now there are 151 dairy farmers in the state down from 500 twenty years ago and 210 in 2007. "We're still hopeful and we're not giving up hope," said Davis.
Since News 8 last spoke to Davis, the House of Representatives passed a resolution recognizing June as National Dairy Month and the federal government provided $350 million in emergency assistance to farmers. "That helped some, it took the pressure off for a few months," explained Davis. "But it wasn't quite enough to get caught up and we need better milk prices; we don't need handouts."
Davis suggests regional milk pricing because here in Connecticut there are higher costs associated with dairy farming than in other parts of the country.

Can great leaders be both tough and nurturing?
Some employees go to work to do what they're told. Some know their company's vision and try to follow it
How do you set others free to do their Extreme best? It starts with what you don't do. The opposite of bringing out the Extreme in others is making them afraid. If only one person starts making others feel that risk-taking will be punished, that the boss is running out of patience, or that old procedures must be followed to the letter, then the crucial collaboration between leaders and followers starts to fall apart. It happens in corporations the world over. The entire place seizes up with fear.

Our Customer Service department has the same objective as you: to achieve high and reliable performance throughout the entire life cycle of your equipment. Our global service team provides support with services and customised service products to guarantee and improve the performance of the machine. Harro Höfliger's service philosophy is to ensure close cooperation, efficient communication and high flexibility.
Right from the start of the planning phase of your equipment, you will have your own direct service contact helping you throughout.
During unplanned machine downtimes you need quick solutions. We are here to support you remotely or on site to ensure that you will be able to fulfil your production goals. If necessary, we will make sure that spare parts are delivered quickly.
Fast support around the globe: The Excellence United Service Portal enables remote diagnostics, troubleshooting and maintenance of your system in real time. Our service technicians on site support you as required.
The Harro Höfliger customer service team ensures that your machine runs consistently after its initial installation. Jackson Heslop, Director of Customer Service at Harro Höfliger, explains the life cycle support, the training programs and the highly efficient Excellence United Service Portal.
Which services does customer service offer?
For us, great customer service means more than excellent after-sales service and professional support in an emergency. Our goal is to ensure that the machines remain ready for use throughout their entire life cycle and that they run with high productivity. We can make them more efficient with upgrades and technically fit for new production objectives by retrofitting them. And of course, we provide the users with in-depth training so they can be prepared for their tasks.
What kind of training does Harro Höfliger conduct?
Our training programs are structured to be modular. In each training module, the employees of our customers learn everything that is important to know about machine operation, maintenance, electrical, electronics/software, troubleshooting and process technology.
How does the Service Portal work?
One click on the operator terminal is all you need to make contact with Harro Höfliger. Using a multi-media "conference center" the user can send news, transfer images, and communicate with our service experts using a headset and a webcam. This allows us to work with the user to identify the cause of a problem and to eliminate it quickly via remote access. In most cases, this makes it unnecessary for a service technician to be sent out to the location.
Can the Service Portal also provide preventive service?
Yes, integrated in the portal is a comprehensive tool for maintenance management. In addition, the user can quickly pull up the machine documentation or open the stored spare parts catalog.
Do you have questions for us? Get in touch!
