The chief 2004 campaign strategist for President Bush said he was disappointed with Mr. Bush?s leadership, becoming the first member of an inner circle to break so publicly with the president.
At Newton North High School, there are girls by the dozen who are high achieving, ambitious and confident (if not immune to the usual adolescent insecurities and meltdowns.)
If you do a Google search for isotretinoin, also known as Accutane, a new Food and Drug Administration website is apt to figure high among your hits. The site warns consumers about the risks of buying the highly potent prescription acne medication and its generic versions–Amnesteem, Claravis, and Sotret–over the Internet. FDA officials were prompted to act by concerns that people might be seriously endangering their health by taking the drug–and possibly substandard formulations–without a doctor's guidance.
http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/article.php?id=LJS2007032201 University of Virginia Professor Larry Sabato in his Crystal Ball blog takes a look at demographers' predictions of the political effect of the reapportionments following the censuses of 2010, 2020,and 2030. Bottom line: The Bush 2004 states will gain 17 electoral votes; the Kerry 2004 states will lose 17 electoral votes. (Sabato assumes that the District of Columbia will gain 1 electoral vote; http://www.usnews.com/usnews/opinion/baroneblog/archives/070322/will_the_distri.htm, I disagree.) According to these projections, Florida will gain 9 electoral votes, Texas 8, Arizona 5, California 3, Nevada and North Carolina 2 each. New York will lose 6 electoral votes, Ohio and Pennsylvania 4 each, Illinois 3, Massachusetts and Michigan 2 each. The lineup of electoral votes will look very different from today, and very different from what prevailed in the 1960 election (which was determined by the 1950 census), the first election I followed closely. Consider the figures below for what are projected to be the dozen largest states:
AP - President Bush on Saturday said Iran's capture of 15 British sailors and marines was "inexcusable" and called for Iran to "give back the hostages" immediately and unconditionally.
AP - The U.S. military death toll in March, the first full month of the security crackdown, was nearly twice that of the Iraqi army, which American and Iraqi officials say is taking the leading role in the latest attempt to curb violence in the capital, surrounding cities and Anbar province, according to figures compiled on Saturday.
AP - Billyball lives on for at least one more game at Florida. After what felt like a Final Four instant replay, UCLA has certainly had its fill. The Gators and their in-demand coach, Billy Donovan, moved one win away from a second straight national championship Saturday night, defeating the Bruins 76-66 behind 19 points from Corey Brewer, 16 from Chris Richard and 14 more from Lee Humphrey.
President Bush and Iranian President Ahmadinejad on Saturday ramped up the rhetoric over British sailors and marines held by Iran. Bush called them "hostages" and said Iran's actions were "inexcusable." Ahmadinejad called British forces "arrogant" for not apologizing after entering what Iran considers its waters. The British foreign secretary, meanwhile, says she has contacted Iran to seek a peaceful resolution to the standoff.
