'This Week' Transcript: EXCLUSIVE: Vice President Joe Biden
George Stephanopoulos goes behind the scenes with VP Joe Biden in Iraq.
July 5, 2009 -- ABC'S "THIS WEEK WITH GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS"
STEPHANOPOULOS: Major milestone this week here in Iraq with the American troops pulling out of the cities. And I wonder if you can put the broader American mission in context. Are we in the process of securing victory or cutting our losses to come home?
BIDEN: Securing victory. Look, the president and I laid out a plan in the campaign which was twofold. One, withdraw our troops from Iraq in a rational timetable consistent with what the Iraqis want. And the same time, leave behind a stable and secure country.
And one of the reasons I'm here, George, is to push the last end of that, which is the need for political settlement on some important issues between Arabs and Kurds and among the confessional groups. And I think we're well on our way.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You know, your predecessor doesn't seem convinced.
STEPHANOPOULOS: John Hannah, Vice President Cheney's national security adviser, wrote this week that under Obama, Bush's commitment to winning in Iraq has all been vanished. The vice president warned against a premature withdrawal.
He said: "I would not want to see the U.S. waste all of the tremendous sacrifice that has gotten us to this point."
BIDEN: You know, it's kind of ironic. It's their timetable we are implementing. Cheney and Bush agreed with the Iraqis before we were elected that we'd have combat troops out of the cities by June 30th.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So he's wrong to be worried?
BIDEN: Well, I mean, it's -- I mean, for this he can't have it both ways. He negotiated that timetable. We have met the commitment the timetable the last administration negotiated with Iraqis. And we're totally confident that is the right thing to do.
So I find it kind of ironic that he's criticizing his own agreement that he negotiated.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You're also facing a little bit of criticism from the Iraqis. You know yesterday you stood up there with Prime Minister Maliki and talked about your commitment to solve these political problems, yet his spokesman came out after the meeting and said: "This is purely an Iraqi issue, we don't want the Americans to get involved."
What do you say to that?
BIDEN: Well, that's that not what -- that's not what the prime minister said. The prime minister said that we may need you to get involved.
What we offered the prime minister, as well as the speaker, as well as the two vice presidents, was that to the extent -- let me give you an example. The United Nations has started a process to deal with what they called the "disputed internal borders." And that is the debate between the Kurds and the Arabs as to where the line is.
Kirkuk is probably the biggest flashpoint. And we were asked that we would -- would we be helpful to the United Nations in doing this? I was further asked that would I communicate to the Kurdish leadership, who I have a close relationship with, that their passing a constitution through their parliament in Kurdistan was not helpful to the process that was under way.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So what's going on here? Maliki says one thing and his spokesman says another.
BIDEN: Well, look, I think that it's very important that Prime Minister Maliki and all of the Iraqi leaders are able to in fact communicate, which is true, to the people of Iraq, that they're now a sovereign nation.
They take directions from no one. That they are able to handle their own internal affairs. And the fact -- my guess is, if the spokesman said that -- which surprises me, if the spokesman said that, I'd imagine they're worried about an upcoming election, making it look like the United States is going to continue to try to direct things here.
We are not. That is not why I'm here.
STEPHANOPOULOS: We're not going to direct things, but what if the Iraqi people -- they've been dealing with these political disputes for an awful long time, what if they can't solve them, the violence flares up again?
BIDEN: Well, that's going to be a tragic outcome for the Iraqi people. We made a commitment.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But are we going to put our lives on the line again?
BIDEN: No. We made a commitment to withdraw our troops from the cities by the 30th, to withdraw our combat brigades from Iraq by next summer -- the end of next summer, and withdraw all troops according to the SOFA, that agreement we negotiated with them, by the end of 2011. That is our intention.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But no matter what, 2011, American troops all gone?
BIDEN: That is the intention. We believe the Iraqis will be fully capable of maintaining their own security. And we believe that with the time frame, with their upcoming election -- you know they're having an election in January, I know you know that, they'll form a new government early -- in late winter as a consequence of that election.
And it is our expectation that that election will come off peacefully and that their democracy is gradually maturing, so.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me turn to Iran. We're three weeks out from their election.
BIDEN: Yes.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you have any doubt it was stolen?
BIDEN: Well, look, what I don't want to do is play into the hands of the supreme leader and Ahmadinejad like they're blaming the British now. You know, there -- that the reason why there was unrest is outside influence.
STEPHANOPOULOS: They're saying they have confessions from reformers saying that.
BIDEN: Well, you know, they say a lot of things. That's simply not true. The -- I think the dust hasn't settled yet in terms of?
STEPHANOPOULOS: Still, three weeks ago.
BIDEN: Well, no, now here's what I think. I mean, I think it's clear that the consequences of the way the election was conducted and the way that the election was declared -- who was declared the winner and how, is going to have a rippling effect.
What that effect will be, I don't know. I think we have to wait to see how this settles out and -- before we can make a judgment.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But there's no doubt now that they responded violently to the election.
BIDEN: Oh, there is no doubt about that. There is none. The whole world saw it. And it is -- we have to acknowledge as a free and sovereign nation that we abhor the violence that took place. We think it was inappropriate, the way in which they treated those protesters.
And so there is no question, we and the rest of the world looked at them and said, my lord, this is not the way to conduct?
STEPHANOPOULOS: But how do you respond to critics who say the United States should have come out forcefully right away, right away and said, this is wrong, stop it, and they say that would have made a difference?
BIDEN: Well, I don't -- I think the president was absolutely pitch-perfect. I think what the president did is exactly the right way. I think the president did not allow us to be used to as the scapegoat, us to be used as?
STEPHANOPOULOS: There were some reports that you were arguing for a more forceful response earlier.
BIDEN: Well, I think the president did it exactly right. I think he was correct.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And going forward, what next? What should the strategy be right now?
BIDEN: Well, look, the Iranian government has a choice. They either choose greater isolation, and from the whole world, or they decide to take a rightful place in the -- in civilized, big, great nations. They can -- that's the path they have to choose.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Haven't they already shown evidence in the last week of what their choice is?
BIDEN: Well, they have in terms of the way they conducted their election, but they haven't in terms of whether -- the real key issues to now, are they going to continue the nuclear program? Are they going to be braced by what happened? Is this going to alter their behavior internally or externally?
Look, responses that they saw on the street in any country have consequences. It's hard to predict what those consequences will be.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But what are the consequences for the U.S. relationship? I mean, the president had said he wants to meet with the Iranians over the nuclear program through the P-5. But how does he engage with the Iranians now without breaking faith with those reformers?
BIDEN: Well, the way you do it is if they choose to meet with the P5, under the conditions the P5 was laid out, it means they begin to change course. And it means that the protesters probably had some impact on the behavior of an administration that they don't like at all. And it believes and I believe that means there's consequences to that.
Now, if they in fact decide to shut out the rest of the world, clamp down, further isolation, I think that takes them down a very different path.
STEPHANOPOULOS: How do you respond to those who say that it's the United States now that should hit the pause button, there should be a cause correction, and we shouldn't rush to sit down...
BIDEN: Well, we're not. We're not rushing to sit down.
As I said to you, we have to wait to see how this sort of settles out. And there's already an offer laid out there by the permanent five plus one to say we're prepared to sit down and negotiate with you relative to your nuclear program. And so the ball's in their court.
STEPHANOPOULOS: When I saw President Ahmadinejad back in April, his response to that was that we need to see more from the United States first.
Is it fair to say now that there will be absolutely no more concessions to the Iranians in advance of those discussions?
BIDEN: It's fair to say the position the president has laid out will not change.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But there will be engagement -- if the Iranians want to...
BIDEN: If the Iranians seek to engage, we will engage.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And meanwhile, the clock is ticking...
BIDEN: If the Iranians respond to the offer of engagement, we will engage.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But the offer is on the table?
BIDEN: The offer's on the table.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu has made it pretty clear that he agreed with President Obama to give until the end of the year for this whole process of engagement to work. After that, he's prepared to make matters into his own hands.
Is that the right approach?
BIDEN: Look, Israel can determine for itself -- it's a sovereign nation -- what's in their interest and what they decide to do relative to Iran and anyone else.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Whether we agree or not?
BIDEN: Whether we agree or not. They're entitled to do that. Any sovereign nation is entitled to do that. But there is no pressure from any nation that's going to alter our behavior as to how to proceed.
What we believe is in the national interest of the United States, which we, coincidentally, believe is also in the interest of Israel and the whole world. And so there are separate issues.
If the Netanyahu government decides to take a course of action different than the one being pursued now, that is their sovereign right to do that. That is not our choice.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But just to be clear here, if the Israelis decide Iran is an existential threat, they have to take out the nuclear program, militarily the United States will not stand in the way?
BIDEN: Look, we cannot dictate to another sovereign nation what they can and cannot do when they make a determination, if they make a determination that they're existentially threatened and their survival is threatened by another country.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You say we can't dictate, but we can, if we choose to, deny over-flight rights here in Iraq. We can stand in the way of a military strike.
BIDEN: I'm not going to speculate, George, on those issues, other than to say Israel has a right to determine what's in its interests, and we have a right and we will determine what's in our interests.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Meanwhile, North Korea...
BIDEN: Yes.
STEPHANOPOULOS: ... seven missile launches in the last 24 hours, 11 this week. Anything the United States can do about it?
BIDEN: The question is, is there anything that we should do about it?
Look, this has almost become predictable behavior. Some of it seems like almost attention-seeking behavior.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And you don't want to give the attention?
BIDEN: And -- no, I don't want to give the attention, because, look, I think our policy has been absolutely correct so far. We have succeeded in uniting the most important and critical countries to North Korea on a common path of further isolating North Korea. They're going to be faced with a pretty difficult choice, it seems to me.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But not a task that includes very forceful enforcement of the sanctions. The Russians and the Chinese blocked any boarding of the ships, didn't they?
BIDEN: No, no. Well, what they did was, if you noticed, the ship had to turn around and come back. Why? Because no port would allow them into their port.
There was no place they could go with certitude that they would not be, in fact, at that point, boarded and searched. And so I would argue that it, in fact, worked.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Is our policy now though basically waiting for the Kim Jong-il regime to collapse?
BIDEN: Our policy is to continue to put united pressure from the very countries that North Korea was able to look to before with impunity. They could take almost any action and got no reaction, no negative reaction.
That's changed. And it is -- there is a significant turning of the pressure. And there are going to be some very difficult decisions that that regime's going to have make.
There's a real debate going on right now, George, about succession in North Korea.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Reports that he's tapped his youngest son.
BIDEN: That is the report.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you believe it?
BIDEN: Well, if I had to bet, that would be my guess. But I don't think anyone knows for certain.
STEPHANOPOULOS: The clock is also ticking on Afghanistan. Key members of Congress made it pretty clear during the war supplemental debate that they're going to give until early next year to see progress in Afghanistan or they're going to cut off the funding, move to cut off the funding.
Is that the right approach?
BIDEN: Look, I think the right approach is one we have chosen, the Obama/Biden administration.
We did a thorough review of what our objectives and policies were and should be in Afghanistan.
BIDEN: We set in motion a policy which is now only beginning to unfold. All the troops we agreed to increase are not even all in place at this point. And we also believe, as General Jones accurately said, that, ultimately, the success or failure in Iraq will not rest not on a military outcome, but on a both economic and political outcome internally, getting better governance in place and economic development in that country.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But do Americans have a right to expect that if we don't see continued progress in the next six to nine months, six to 12 months, then we should think about cutting back and pulling out?
BIDEN: Look, I think the Americans have a right to expect success. And I think the success is measured by how we defined it.
STEPHANOPOULOS: At any cost?
BIDEN: No. Success. And if they conclude that, whatever the policy that's being undertaken by any administration as not succeeding, they have a right to say, look, cease and desist. But I don't think that's where we're going, George.
STEPHANOPOULOS: There were some reports this week that the president has already made the judgment sending General Jones over to Afghanistan with a clear message -- no more troops. This is it, this is all you can get.
And Bob Woodward wrote about it. He talked about the general meeting with various military figures in Afghanistan, and this is what he said -- this is what he reports that General Jones said: "If there were new requests for force now, the president would quite likely have a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moment. Everyone in the room caught phonetic reference to WTF -- which in the military now sort of means, what the (blank)."
Are you concerned that this is sending some kind of a chilling message?
BIDEN: No, not at all. Look, here's...
STEPHANOPOULOS: You don't want to hear the advice?
BIDEN: Look, no, no. We got the advice.
We spent five months with the entire national security team, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, the national security adviser down in that tank, down in that Situation Room, laboriously banging out the plans. The military came in with explicit requests. The president gave them what they asked for. It hasn't even been implemented yet.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You were on the other side, it was reported, that you didn't want an expansion of troops.
BIDEN: No, no. I did want an expansion of troops. There was a slight difference about how to layer them, how to proceed.
The president -- we all ended up in -- you know, this was an open discussion. And the thing I like about the president, he seeks everyone's opinion.
Well, we reached a consensus opinion, and the consensus opinion of the national security team, of which I'm a part, was to do exactly what's under way.
The point is -- I suspect the point that Jim Jones is making is, hey, it hasn't even been implemented yet. Troops are still on the way. Slow up, guys.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But to be clear, you're saying if the military believes there should be more troops, they shouldn't be afraid to give that advice. They should give that advice?
BIDEN: They should not be afraid to give whatever advice from the field or from the Pentagon to the president and the secretary of defense that they think they need.
STEPHANOPOULOS: While we've been here, some pretty grim job numbers back at home -- 9.5 percent unemployment in June, the worst numbers in 26 years.
How do you explain that? Because when the president and you all were selling the stimulus package, you predicted at the beginning that, to get this package in place, unemployment will peak at about 8 percent. So, either you misread the economy, or the stimulus package is too slow and to small.
BIDEN: The truth is, we and everyone else misread the economy. The figures we worked off of in January were the consensus figures and most of the blue chip indexes out there.
Everyone thought at that stage -- everyone -- the bulk of...
STEPHANOPOULOS: CBO would say a little bit higher.
BIDEN: A little bit, but they're all in the same range. No one was talking about that we would be moving towards -- we're worried about 10.5 percent, it will be 9.5 percent at this point.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But we're looking at 10 now, aren't we?
BIDEN: No. Well, look, we're much too high. We're at 9 -- what, 9.5 right now?
BIDEN: And so the truth is, there was a misreading of just how bad an economy we inherited. Now, that doesn't -- I'm not -- it's now our responsibility. So the second question becomes, did the economic package we put in place, including the Recovery Act, is it the right package given the circumstances we're in? And we believe it is the right package given the circumstances we're in.
We misread how bad the economy was, but we are now only about 120 days into the recovery package. The truth of the matter was, no one anticipated, no one expected that that recovery package would in fact be in a position at this point of having to distribute the bulk of money.
STEPHANOPOULOS: No, but a lot of people were saying that you needed to do something bigger and bolder then, including the economist Paul Krugman. He's saying -- right now he's saying the same thing again -- don't wait. You need a second stimulus, you need it now.
BIDEN: Look, what we have to do now is we have to properly, adequately, transparently and effectively spend out the $787 billion.
STEPHANOPOULOS: That's your job. You're in charge of that now.
BIDEN: That is my job, and I think we're doing it well. If you noticed, George, I mean, there were other predictions. This was going to be wasteful and all these terrible projects were going to be out there, and we're wasting money. Well, that dog hasn't barked yet.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, Senator Coburn has identified some.
BIDEN: Yes -- no, he hasn't, but he did, he identified one hundred ? forty-eight of which we had already killed. And so -- and the rest I dispute. So the bottom line though is, I think anybody would say this has been pretty well managed so far.
The question is, how do you now -- do we -- what we have to do, George, is we have to, as this rolls out, put more pace on the ball. The second hundred days you're going to see a lot more jobs created.
And the reason you are is now all of these contracts for the over several thousand highway projects that have approved.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But you're also seeing states across the country cutting back on their programs. Many of the people on unemployment?
BIDEN: Sure.
STEPHANOPOULOS: ? today are going to run out of unemployment in September. That means for a lot of those people, if there is not a second stimulus, they're going to be out in the cold.
BIDEN: Well, look, we have increased the amount of money unemployed -- those on unemployment rolls have gotten, 12 million are getting more money because of the stimulus package.
We've increased the number of people eligible by 2 million people. We've given a tax cut to 95 percent of the people who get a pay stub. They have somewhere -- $60 bucks a month out there that's going into the economy.
There is a lot going on, George. And I think it's premature to make the judgment?
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no second stimulus?
BIDEN: No, I didn't say that. I think it's premature to make that judgment. This was set up to spend out over 18 months. There are going to be major programs that are going to take effect in September, $7.5 billion for broadband, new money for high-speed rail, the implementation of the grid -- the new electric grid.
And so this is just starting, the pace of the ball is now going to increase.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you're in charge of the stimulus. You're the president's envoy here in Iraq. You're supposed to settle this dispute between the director of national intelligence and the CIA over who is going to appoint the station chiefs. By the way, have you solved that one yet?
BIDEN: I think we've solved that one.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You have?
BIDEN: Well, let me put it this way. I think we're well on the way to that being solved.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Who won?
BIDEN: They both won.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So they're going to share the responsibility to appoint to station chiefs?
BIDEN: Not done yet. Let me comment on that next week to you.
STEPHANOPOULOS: OK. Well, let me get to the broader point then. You've fixed -- you say you've fixed a problem that will?
BIDEN: Well they fixed the problem.
STEPHANOPOULOS: ? to find out that they fixed the problem -- look to find out the details on all of that. But you've got all of these discrete projects now. And when you came in you talked a lot about how you didn't want to get bogged down in individual projects because you wanted to be, you know, the president's primary adviser.
Are you're worried you're going to far in the other direction?
BIDEN: No. Because all of these projects have end dates on them. You know, they all have sell-by dates, because -- and that's I think that -- I hope I've brought some real expertise to this job, available to the president.
The things he has asked me to do. I hope I'm relatively good at. And -- but all of them have specific objectives.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Finally, Sarah Palin.
BIDEN: Yes.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You were the last person to run against her.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Were you surprised by her decision to step down?
BIDEN: Well, look, you and I know -- and I shouldn't say that because that implicates you in my answer, so. But those who have been deeply involved in politics know at the end of the day it is really and truly a personal deal.
And personal family decisions have real impact on people's decisions. I love reading these history books and biographies of people, the reason they made the choice to run or not run was because the state of the economy.
It maybe had a lot to do with what the state of their life was, and the state of their family, et cetera. So I'm not going to second guess her.
STEPHANOPOULOS: She cast herself as the victim of political blood sport in that press conference. Is that how you see it?
BIDEN: No. I respect her decision. I don't -- I don't know what prompted her decision to not only not run again and also to step down as a consequence of the decision not to run in 2010. And I take her at her word that had a personal ingredient in it. And you have to respect that.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Mr. Vice President, thank you very much.
BIDEN: Thank you.
life was and the state of their family, et cetera. So I'm not going to second-guess her.
STEPHANOPOULOS: She cast herself as the victim of political blood sport in that press conference. Is that how you see it?
BIDEN: No. I respect her decision. I don't -- I don't know what prompted her decision to not only not run again and also to step down as a consequence of the decision not to run in 2010. And I take her at her word that it had a personal ingredient in it, and you have to respect that.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Mr. Vice President, thank you very much.
BIDEN: Thank you.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And when we come back, we'll get the roundtable's take on Palin's big news Friday. The big question, does she have a political future and does she even want one?
PALIN: Life is too short to compromise time and resources and though it may be tempting and more comfortable to just kind of keep your head down and plod along and appease those who are demanding, hey, just sit down and shut up. But that's a worthless, easy pass out. That's a quitter's way out. And I think the problem in our country today is apathy. It would be apathetic to just hunker down and go with the flow. We're fishermen. We know that only dead fish go with the flow.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Only dead fish go with the flow, the latest entry in Safire's political dictionary from Sarah Palin on Friday. Let me bring in our "Roundtable" to talk about it. I'm joined by George Will, Matthew Dowd, political strategist for George Bush and a lot of Democratic candidates as well. Tony Blankley, columnist for "The Washington Times." Todd Purdum of "Vanity Fair," you have a big story in this month's issue, "Sarah Palin: The Lies, The Meltdowns and the Moose Sighs Ambition." And Cynthia Tucker of "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution." Welcome back.
And I do want to bring in everybody on Sarah Palin. But first, let's watch a little bit more of the press conference. A lot of people might have been driving on Friday. Here's a little bit more of Sarah Palin, harkening back to her days as Sarah barracuda on the basketball court.
PALIN: A good point guard, here's what she does. She drives through a full-court press, protecting the ball, keeping her head up because she needs to keep her eye on the basket. And she knows exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can win. And that is what I'm doing. I thought about, well, how much fun some governors have as lame ducks. Maybe they travel around their state, travel the other states, maybe take their overseas international trade missions. So many politicians do that. And then, I thought, that's what's wrong. Many just accept that lame duck status and they hit the road. They draw a paycheck. They kind of milk it. And I'm not going to put Alaskans through that.
(END VIDEO CLIP) STEPHANOPOULOS: Not going to put Alaskans through the rest of her second term. George, what do you make of it?
GEORGE WILL, ABC NEWS: I read it once, and seen it twice and I still have no idea why she did this. In one phrase, she seems to say this, will help the nation. It will free her up to help the nation. On the other hand, she says it's her family, which I understand. She's been fairly much impoverished by litigation that's hurt her family and she may be wary of being referred to, as for example, a retarded flight attendant, by one HBO comedian.
Be that as it may, the one that rings most hollow is she doesn't want to put Alaska through the terror of being a lame duck governor. If she is just weary of it, one can understand that. Still, she made a contract with them to serve out her term. And she said, in her own words, she now is a quitter.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And one friend of Sarah Palin's told me, Cynthia, she just wants peace.
CYNTHIA TUCKER, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION: Well, if she just wants peace, then we won't be seeing her on the campaign trail, if that's what she wants. Because if she intends to seek high office, she won't have peace.
The simple fact of the matter is if Sarah Palin thinks that she's had it tougher than anybody else, that she's been more harshly criticized, I have two words for her -- Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton was savaged for eight years. There were even jokes about her daughter, Chelsea, who was much younger then than Bristol Palin is now.
It's not fair. It's not a good part of the political process. But that is the stage that you take a lot of criticism and quite frankly, women take a lot of criticism.
So, if she isn't ready for that, then she doesn't need to be playing on the national stage. And if she thinks it's tough being governor of Alaska, it would be a whole lot tougher being president of the United States.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Todd, you were up in Alaska and things were getting tough.
TODD PURDUM, VANITY FAIR: Things were getting tougher. She wasn't having any fun running the state. People told me that. People told me they didn't expect her to run for re-election. I don't think anybody thought she would resign.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So, no inkling from that?
PURDUM: No hint from that. Strong suggestion that she wouldn't run for re-election, strong suggestion she was unhappy and not enjoying life, not enjoying having to go to Juneau, she didn't like Juneau. She didn't like running the government, which had become very difficult for her, especially since last fall. STEPHANOPOULOS: And while you were up there, you've already seen Sarah Palin's lawyer hit back at the suggestions that there's another shoe to drop. There's another scandal. Any hint of that?
PURDUM: I don't look for that. I wouldn't be -- I can't rule it out. I have no knowledge that there isn't one. But I think, more of what has happened here, is people told me if there's any predictable thing about her, it's unpredictability and this is one of those.
TONY BLANKLEY, WASHINGTON TIMES: I think she's currently the best intuitive politician in the Republican Party.
STEPHANOPOULOS: What does that mean, intuitive?
BLANKLEY: That she's got a good, political gut sense of how to talk to the American people and how to advance herself. And I would bet on her intuition over the analysis of a lot of people right now.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But do you think that performance connected the way, for example, her convention speech did?
BLANKLEY: I'll say something odd. There was a poll last week. So, before the announcement, but recent, that she has an 80 percent approval in the Republican Party, has a 47 percent plurality positive in Independents and is only negative amongst Democratic Party, self- identified people.
Given the really ferociously bad press she'd had for the last nine months, those are impressive numbers. I think she's doing something right that those in Washington don't sense.
MATTHEW DOWD, POLITICAL STRATEGIST: You know, I think she is a good, natural politician and has an intuitive sense. I agree with Tony on that. But just like an athlete, because we have all these analogies, it only doesn't take natural ability. It takes discipline and focus. And she doesn't have it all.
There's been a ton of athletes in this country, football players, quarterbacks, baseball players, that had a great natural ability that never were able to make it on the national stage because they didn't have discipline, they didn't have a focus.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And taking Tony's points on her political situation, it was even better coming out of the election. But she squandered those last several months?
DOWD: Well, that's the other thing about this. To me, if you're a conservative or if you're a Republican, part of what you say as leaders, that you're supposed to be the adult in the room. You're supposed to concentrate on governing. And her statement basically that says, I have a year left in office and I'm not going to do that to people of Alaska.
There's a lot of politicians out there, like Ronald Reagan, who spent the last two years of presidency and he was a lame duck, who did a lot internationally. But she basically decided that no politician can serve well if they don't have an election on their deadline.
BLANKLEY: Let me just make a point on that because she is kind of uniquely situated serving in Alaska. We've all worked or seen politicians who are running for another office. They're based in one city or another, down here in the lower 48. They're an hour and a half away wherever they need to go, in the pre-campaign campaign. They can do day trips and they can be back home and they can be back home and seen on the job and doing on the job, even though they're doing their campaign work.
She can't physically do that from Alaska. So, she's sort of uniquely vulnerable to the charge of not doing their job, if she's down here campaigning. I'm not saying that's the reason why.
STEPHANOPOULOS: I was going to say, that would suggest that indeed she does want to run for president. She does seem to be smarting at the criticism from some who are saying, no, she's out, her political future is over.
She put up something on Facebook yesterday. Let's show everyone what she is telling to her supporters there. "I've never thought I needed a title before one's name to forge progress in America. I'm now looking ahead in how we can advance this country together, with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security and much needed fiscal restraint. I hope you will join me. Now is the time to rebuild and help our nation achieve greatness."
George, regardless of motivations on Friday, is there a plausible comeback strategy here?
WILL: I don't think so. I can see her in Iowa because Iowa has a large evangelical Christian component, in the Republican nominating electorate. Beyond Iowa, no. She is now not going to be presented as someone that's only a first-term governor of Alaska, she's not even a first-term governor.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And that's especially true if she's not ready for criticism, as you pointed out.
TUCKER: Absolutely. I just don't see that this is a beginning of a political comeback for her in that rambling an incoherent press conference in which the only thing I really enjoyed actually was her using a sports metaphor. I think it's neat for women to use a sports metaphor. But it was very difficult to follow.
But the one thing that came across, I thought, was not only that she was smarting from all this criticism, but she came across as petty and vindictive, Richard Nixon without the policy knowledge or the experience. And I think that comes across for her, time and time again. And again, if you are not ready to put up with all that criticism and shrug it off, then you don't have any business on the national stage.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Of course, two years later, after his famous -- Richard Nixon's press conference, Richard Nixon was on his way to the White House.
And, Todd, on the point of motivation, one of the things you write about in "Vanity Fair" and let me quote it here is that you say, "Several people told me, independently of one another, that they had consulted the definition of narcissistic personality disorder. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders," talking about Sarah Palin. And I guess that some sense that this would explain what we saw or some of what we saw on Friday.
PURDUM: A lot of people did tell me something that Cynthia said, which is that she takes everything very personally. She has this sort of grandiose sense of her own place in the cosmos. She has an unrealistic sense of what people should expect of her and what she should be required to deliver.
I think, in some ways, as puzzling as her statement was on Friday, it's at peace with that. It's at peace with this person who does not seem to operate in any conventional sense as a politician would who knows she has to live to fight another day, who should keep her friends close but her enemies closer. It's very personal for her.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Does it make you think she wants to come back, wants to get back on all of this?
PURDUM: I think she wants to get back at whatever she feels has wounded her and aggrieved her. But I take her to her word at some level, that she wants to have a hiatus in her life. I think the last thing she must really want is to be in the thick of it because if you can't take the heat in Juneau, Washington is a lot hotter.
BLANKLEY: She's both a narcissist and she wants people to stop pay attention to her. Look, narcissism is the disease of the age. A lot of folks suffer from it. The statement about narcissism reminds me of the Goldwater campaign, where 1,000 psychiatrists signed an ad saying he was nuts. We throw around these charges.
My sense is, that the thing she most needs is a good, small team of advisers who are shrewd and she feels comfortable with. Because obviously there's been a scattershot of folks the way she's presented herself. I think it's fixable. And as you mentioned, when Dick Nixon said you won't have Nixon to kick around, he subsequently got elected twice to the presidency.
DOWD: Well, I think -- I mean, obviously, all these terms (inaudible) about politicians being narcissistic is not page one.
I mean, almost every one that we all know is narcissistic. That's why they run for office.
The question, though, becomes, that their celebrity that they have, either they have when they come in, like Ronald Reagan, and what they use it for, and that adulation that they have.
Because they're all, sort of, self-involved. All of them are. How do they use it? Do they use it about "me" or do they use it about "we"?
And I think part of the problem with Sarah Palin is not her advisers and is not all that kind of stuff. And it's not necessarily that she's a narcissist, which all these politicians typically are. It's what is she using that for?
And most politicians, like Ronald Reagan, use it to advance a bigger cause And something bigger -- more than about themselves, and use that celebrity status, just like Barack Obama, I think. You can criticize his policies -- and he has celebrity status. He's trying to...
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, that's what she's saying she's going to do here.
DOWD: Well, that's the question, though, is that she has not demonstrated. And the one place she could have demonstrated substantially, which I believe that, if she really wanted to have a political future, she would have shown what she could do in Alaska, and say, "I'm not going to pay attention to what's going on down in the 48 states. I'm going to do my job. And if I do my job well, then maybe I have a future."
But quitting in the job that -- the only place she can do it seems bizarre to me.
WILL: She's a lagging indicator of American political developments. There's a rising generation of young Republicans, men and women, governors, senators, et cetera. And why in the world, with this budding all-star team, there, would they turn to Sarah Palin? STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me push you on that, a little bit. Because Sam Tanenhaus in the New York Times today, who's authored a new book on the rise of the -- rise and fall of the conservative movement, points out -- he says that the Republican party "used to be a model of lockstep discipline. Now it has entered a period of inner confusion, verging on dysfunctional."
Well, the title of the book is "The Death of Conservatism, yet another obituary.
It's quite a good book, actually.
Republicans were never that disciplined. They've always been tough, but they unite at the end of the fight. That's different from discipline, all the way down the line.
It is the case, however, that, facially, there are competent people that you don't have to begin with the problem of saying, actually, appearances notwithstanding, this person is competent.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Fewer in the last couple of months, with -- Sanford's out. Ensign's out. Palin, we'll see.
BLANKLEY: Yes, look, I mean, I think the Republican Party is going through what parties go through when they're smashed, which is chaos and inner fighting, and you don't know what you stand for. And first, you're defensive and you say, we just weren't loud enough and clear enough. and then you figure out you've got other problems.
I mean, the Democrats went through that, after '80 and again after '94.
So I'm not particularly concerned about, I think, what's, sort of, typical for what happens to a party, at this point. What I do know is that the only positive energy being driven by a politician in the Republican Party right now, of any substance, is coming from her. And to -- you may not like it. But the fact is, that she
STEPHANOPOULOS: Positive energy?
BLANKLEY: For the Republicans. Yes, I mean, she -- who's drawing a crowd? She can draw a crowd, more than other contenders can draw a crowd. We can't -- the media can't take their eyes off her. There's a lot of pulsating going on there.
Now, it's got to be managed. It could be destructive. We'll see. But you don't -- I don't -- I wouldn't want to walk away from that level of energy for a prospective candidate who might be good.
DOWD: I just -- one thing I want to say, and that is, it's like -- to me, that's akin to saying a circus comes to town and everybody's running and screaming about it.
BLANKLEY: Have you noticed presidential campaigns DOWD: Well, I have. And that's the ones that you just (inaudible) that don't have something substantive to offer. I think -- I agree with George. I think this is systematic of a problem, that everybody's focused on Sarah Palin, when we have nothing else to talk about, from a vision perspective, in the Republican Party.
And if Sarah Palin is generating that kind of energy, it's a huge problem.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And creating an opportunity, probably, for the president. One of the things that he's seen in the last several months is the fact that his opposition is divided and fractious has helped him on his agenda.
But I want to go back to Vice President Biden's interview now. A fairly significant concession there from the vice president, we "misread the economy." And that could end up being, if it doesn't start to get better, the Achilles' heel of the Obama administration.
TUCKER: Absolutely. I think, first of all, that the Obama administration deserves to be hammered, and they are being hammered, for having so misjudged on the economy.
Back in January, the president said, unless we pass this stimulus package, the economy -- unemployment rate might be as high as 9 percent. Well, now, it's about 9.5 percent. And so, he's rightly being hammered on that.
It's also true that his approval ratings are softening a bit. And I think part of that softening has to do with the economy.
When Ben Bernanke was saying, about a month or so ago, that there were now green chutes, suggesting a recovery, the simple fact of the matter is, for most working folks, there were no green chutes.
And so, unless we see something that turns around in the economy significantly by the end of the year, this is going to be a major problem for the administration and perhaps keep them from accomplishing those other big-ticket items they're trying to push through, like health care and climate change.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And that is the question, George.
You know, the vice president didn't want to bite on this idea of a second stimulus package, now, and he's already on the line with the first one.
WILL: The first one that you're calling a first one was the second stimulus package...
... the Bush -- the Bush-Pelosi stimulus package, that people perversely saved instead of spent, in February 2008, when the unemployment rate was 4.5 percent. They actually said, Cynthia, that, unless you pass our stimulus package immediately, by 2010, the unemployment rate might get to 9 percent. Now, it's halfway to 10 percent. And we're halfway through 2009.
DOWD: You know, it's interesting to me, when I watch these figures, there's been 2 million jobs lost under the Obama administration. Since he took office, 2 million jobs have been lost.
And I remember the intense criticism, working on the Bush campaign, and President Bush took, that in March of 2004, 2 million jobs had been lost over 3 years. And it was the Herbert Hoover -- worst economic recovery since Herbert Hoover. What has he done? He hasn't done -- he lost over 2 million jobs.
He has done -- Barack Obama, whether or not he's trying to blame Bush or not. We tried the same thing. Oh, it was Al Gore. We inherited this bad thing and all this, but you couldn't...
But I don't think...
STEPHANOPOULOS: It worked for Reagan for a while, President Carter.
DOWD: If he is faced -- he is faced, now, with the fact that he has to find 2 million jobs to go back to zero, which is where he started, that's a very difficult prospect to be in at this point.
PURDUM: The one thing I'd say is, he does have what Matthew said, which is was enormous discipline. And when he saw, all during the campaign, when he seemed to falter; when there seemed to be trouble, he could refocus; he could recalibrate. He could put his shoulder to the wheel and come back.
So I suspect they're far more worried at the White House than we are about it here at this table. And I don't know if they can do anything about it. But I'm sure they're not...
STEPHANOPOULOS: And their answer, though, is still, we're not -- what we want to focus on are the next items coming up on our agenda that Cynthia mentioned.
Health care, clearly number one -- and you're getting back to that this week; the climate change bill, even though there are concerns, Tony, about the deficit, and even though they're getting hammered from the left, people calling him to again go for more stimulus now.
BLANKLEY: Well, it's interesting because they clearly want to -- the president wants to advance his domestic agenda on health and energy. And he's going to be judged, I think, without doubt, on whether the public's satisfied with how he dealt with the economy.
And so, I think he runs a risk. Now, he may win it all. But he runs a risk. Now, as far as the vice president's statement that they were underestimated, I'm puzzled by that. Because, if you remember, President Obama was talking about the economy being in such a bad situation, it might never recover. And then he was urged by friends, "Don't be quite so negative," and he started becoming a bit more positive.
STEPHANOPOULOS: To give us some hope.
BLANKLEY: So I think that they were seized early on, and correctly so, at the dire condition of the economy. So I rather doubt that they really were surprised that the economy's bad.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Now, he got a little bit more help, this week, with his agenda, potentially more help. Al Franken finally made the senator, 60th senator for the Democrats, in the Senate, right now, from Minnesota. Here's Al Franken.
SENATOR-ELECT AL FRANKEN, D-MINN.: The way I see it, I'm not going to Washington to be the 60th Democratic senator. I'm going to Washington to be the second senator from the state of Minnesota. And that's how I'm going to do this job.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Of course, George Will, Michael Steele, the chairman of the Republican Party says, "OK, you've 60 votes now in the Senate. You own everything. It's your burden. It's your show. Go to it."
WILL: That's true. They have custody of the whole country. And they have no excuses. They do have Arlen Specter. So subtract one. Because he's -- he is, to say no more, unreliable.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, unreliable, except that Arlen Specter now has a primary challenge, Congressman Joe Sestak, of Pennsylvania. And that can concentrate someone's mind. He's already come out and said, pretty much, I'm going to be for health care.
But, Matthew Dowd, there are a fair amount of Democrats who don't necessarily want to be that 60th vote on a lot of these issues.
DOWD: Well, to me, it's interesting. I think, when I reflect back on the Bush administration, when you take a look at it, in 2002, when the Republicans took the Senate over. And they had the Senate, and then the House and the White House.
To me, that was the beginning of the end of Bush's sort of style of "I want to be bipartisan." At that point, he no longer needed to be. He didn't have to talk to Democrats. He didn't have to reach across the aisle and all that.
As soon as they took the Senate, it was like, we can do this all on our own. And to me, that's the most problematic thing. If Barack Obama thinks, OK, I got the votes now; I can just jam through any policies I want, I think, in the end, that is not going to benefit him.
STEPHANOPOULOS: He probably knows better. And, Cynthia, the other thing, if you saw Bill Clinton's experience, he actually had probably more success politically -- even though he passed his agenda with the Democrats in the first year, '93, but after Republicans take control in '94, his political comeback begins in '95.
TUCKER: Well, George was saying earlier, George Will, that Republicans were never actually that disciplined. Well, they simply -- they looked very disciplined, compared to Democrats.
As Will Rogers famously said, "I belong to no organized political party. I'm a Democrat." Having 60 votes doesn't mean a great deal for the Democrats, as it turned out.
STEPHANOPOULOS: They've been pretty disciplined so far this year.
TUCKER: They have been somewhat disciplined. But you remember, George Bush got those 60 Republican senators to march in lockstep with him throughout most of the time that they had those votes. Even as his popularity with much of the public was beginning to decline, he still got Republicans to march in lockstep.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Tony Blankley, 15 seconds left. Can Barack Obama get that same discipline?
BLANKLEY: I think they are pretty disciplined right now. I think Franken is an important vote. It's not decisive, but it means that Collins is less decisive in shaping the final deal on a bill, because Franken will be, if anything, to Obama's left, not to his right.
STEPHANOPOULOS: OK, I want you guys to continue this in the green room.

Mumbai's venerable 'Fiat taxis' begin to disappear
The boxy, black-and-yellow Premier Padmini taxis have plied Mumbai's streets for nearly half a century, defying their old age to become a part of the fabric of this chaotic metropolis. Now, a new city regulation is beginning to send the venerable Padmini to scrap heaps.mumbai Updated: Aug 02, 2013, 14:41 IST
To anyone who's ever visited Mumbai, they are as evocative a symbol as the Gateway of India. The boxy, black-and-yellow Premier Padmini taxis have plied the city's streets for nearly half a century, defying their old age to become a part of the fabric of this chaotic metropolis.
Now, a new city regulation is beginning to send the venerable Padmini - known as "Fiat taxis" after the Italian model they were based on - to scrap heaps. Along with them will go a piece of India's history - and the taxis' colorful personalized upholstery that has dazzled so many passengers that websites have sprung up to celebrate them as an art form.
A government order that all vehicles more than 20 years old be taken off the streets took effect this week, and that will take some 4,500 of the remaining 9,500 Fiat taxis out of commission as their licenses expire and are not renewed, said AL Quadros, head of the Mumbai taxi drivers' union. The rest will be phased out each year they reach the 20-year mark.
For Quadros and many others, the new regulation represents the end of an era.
"This Premier Padmini is iconic," he said, adding that people worldwide identify it with Mumbai.
The car harkens back to when India's policy of economic self-sufficiency meant domestically produced cars were the norm. For most, the only options were the Padmini and the Ambassador, made by Kolkata-based Hindustan Motors.
The first Padminis rolled off assembly lines in 1964 at a factory in Mumbai (then called Bombay) under a license from Fiat. Within a few years, there were 62,000 of them in Bombay's taxi fleet alone, Quadros said.
Production stopped in 2000, but the Fiat taxi never disappeared with owners repairing the engines and replacing the interiors when they wore out.
And so was born the other distinctive trait of Mumbai's taxis - the colorful, personalized, sometimes mind-bending upholstery inside.
Flickr and Tumblr each have at least one site dedicated to celebrating the most outrageous Mumbai taxi interiors. Contributors post photos of upholstery ranging from the rustic (autumn leaves, sunflowers) to the psychedelic (hypnotic swirls of pink and fuschia) to the classic (tiger stripes and leopard print, in every imaginable hue). Bonus points for violent pattern clashes between the seats and vinyl ceiling covers.
Determined engine and upholstery refurbishing has kept Fiat taxis a staple of the city's taxi fleet. But the city government says those ancient engines are a hazard to the city's air quality and so older cars must go.
"The main issue is pollution," says Ramesh Sarnaik, an inspector in the Road Transport Office. He said newer cars have fewer harmful emissions and will also give passengers a more comfortable ride, since new models have air-conditioning, which most Fiat taxis lack.
But for the thousands of taxi owners who can't afford to upgrade their vehicles, the new regulation will hurt.
Taxi driver Dashrath Sawant, 60, has had his Padmini for 26 years and says he thinks that with good care it has at least five years left in it.
"If a person gets old, would you just throw them out on the street?" Sawant said. "He should be cared and looked after."
Taxi union chief Quadros estimates that about 10 % of the drivers who lose their cars under the regulation will retire rather than replace them.

Google has already announced its online cloud storage space, Google Drive, will be available in a few months.
But it has also been hatching plans to make space for everything you do online.
The above photo shows Lucidchart, an online chart creation service that will allow Google Drive users to sync their online storage with that of the third-party website.
If this happens on a grand scale it could see Google's Chromebook plan – to do away with hard drives and work over a constant internet connection – become a reality. Every site that would otherwise have to worry about the hosting costs of site storage will be able to offer creative spots with Google footing the storage bills.
Google is yet to announce when the storage offering will be released.

About a couple of weeks ago, Ane and I set-up a desktop PC for Mom's home office.Although we did not buy really high end parts (because the requirement is just for the basics – internet, MS Office, publisher and photo editing) we lived vicariously for a day. See our own pc is almost four years old and an upgrade would be nice, not that we actually need an upgrade at this time :) Anyway, back to the desktop set-up, we canvassed for video cards but there were no available stocks in the store we went to. So since my mom is not a gamer, we didn't buy a separate one anymore, saving a few thousand pesos in the process. I love that we are able to do this, I mean setting up pc's. In the future, maybe we can do consultancy work like this as a business :)

WebMail enables you to send and receive email from anywhere in the world through any Internet Web browser.
To get started, all you need is a computer that has Internet access and your full email address and password.
It's that simple! And best of all, WebMail is FREE with your high-speed cable Internet service!
Please follow the directions below to access the WebMail system:
Once you have logged into WebMail you will see email messages waiting for you. We first recommend that you set up your preferences so that your name will appear on the messages you send out.
Once your preferences are set, you can start sending and receiving email messages.
After you have read an email message, and it is open on your screen, you can choose to forward it to another recipient.
Please note: This will completely remove the message, and once you have done this, the messages cannot be retrieved using WebMail (or any other method).
Once a contact has been created, and you compose a new email, you'll be able to see them in the 'TO:' 'Cc:' or 'Bcc:' fields and have the ability to select them by choice.
If you have Microsoft Outlook Express 6:
If you have Microsoft Outlook (2000/XP/2003):
If you have Eudora:
The address book from your mail client should now be added to WebMail.
WebMail lets you handle your email from anywhere in the world by using the Internet.
The WebMail screens are displayed via the Internet browser you are using, so you will still see other screen toolbars for the browser along the top.
WebMail includes all the functionality required from an email program, including support for attachments, contacts, and folders.
WebMail is a convenient way to check your email while you are away from your normal computer. It is intended for temporary and occasional use while travelling, when convenience is the most important factor. As long as you have access to the World Wide Web via a browser (e.g. Netscape or Explorer), you can send and receive mail, and create and maintain an address book while away from home.
There is no additional charge for WebMail. However, when accessing the WebMail interface via your own high speed cable Internet connection (e.g. from home), normal network traffic usage accumulations apply.
As long as you have a valid email address with your cable Internet service provider, you can use WebMail. The abundance of public Internet terminals in libraries, cafes, airports and universities makes WebMail highly accessible, and there is no need for special software. Your regular email address and password are all that is required to log in.
Yes. If you have activated additional mailboxes with your account, you can access these from WebMail by logging in with the appropriate email address and password. In order to log in as a different user, you must first log out of your existing WebMail session, then close and reopen a browser window before you can log in under a different user name.
Yes, you can setup a group mailing list by:
Depending on email load, the messages are currently erased from the server under these conditions:
If you need to keep messages for a longer period of time, we recommend using an email program like Outlook Express and downloading the message to your computer.
* These conditions are subject to change without notice.
These settings allow you to control how the system handles incoming spam or junk email. If you have multiple email addresses from, you must set your Spamcontrol settings for each account individually by logging in with the email address as the "Username" for each account.
Please note: any changes that you make to your preferences will only take effect once you click on the "Save Settings" button. If you do not click on the "Save Settings" button, your changes will not take effect and they will be lost.
To activate the spam filter change the "What to do with spam:" from "Spam Filter OFF" to "Quarantine" or "Delete". To select what you would like to do with spam, click on the circle next to the option that you prefer. The selected option will appear with a black mark in the middle, if a option is selected, none of the other settings will be active.
If you elect to use either the QUARANTINE or DELETE Suspected Junk Email options, you then must set the Spam Filter Sensitivity. Spam Filter Sensitivity choices include; High, Medium, and Low. A description of each level of sensitivity is included alongside the setting.
Usage of the Whitelist and/or Blacklist settings is optional, and will not take effect if you have selected "Spam Filter OFF". If you have selected the QUARANTINE or DELETE options, then any Whitelist and/or Blacklist settings will automatically take effect on any addresses listed.
Email addresses in your Whitelist will cause the system to allow all email from that address and not treat it as spam, regardless of content, for as long as the address remains in your Whitelist. Under the Whitelist configuration, type the complete email address of the sender that you wish to allow and click on the 'Add to Whitelist' link. Email addresses can be removed from your Whitelist by clicking on the 'Remove' link next to that email address.
Email addresses in your Blacklist will cause the system to automatically treat all email from that address as spam, regardless of content, as long as the address remains in your Blacklist. Under the Blacklist configuration, type the complete email address of the sender that you wish to treat as spam and click on the 'Add to Blacklist' link. Email addresses can be removed from your Blacklist by clicking on the 'Remove' link next to that email address.
Whitelist and Blacklist addresses can be a specific email address such as firstname.lastname@example.com, or can include the wildcards * and ? (example: *@isp.com, or *.domain.net) so that all email addresses from the specified domain will be blocked. All other metacharacters and regular expressions are not allowed.
If you have other questions, they may be answered in the list of Frequently Asked Questions list. If this does not answer your questions, please contact Internet Technical Support at 1-888-207-0204.
What is Junk Email?
Junk email (a.k.a. spam) messages are unsolicited email advertisements. Depending on what service or product they are advertising, these messages may be offensive or even fraudulent. Sorting through these messages is time-consuming and annoying.
What does the adss.tv Spamcontrol filter do? How does it work?
adss.tv Spamcontrol is a free feature that helps protect your email address from junk email. It operates on adss.tv's email servers, using advanced technology to accurately identify junk email. Its rules for identifying junk email are updated constantly, adapting to changes in the way junk emailers try to mask junk email as legitimate messages.
As a adss.tv email user, you choose how junk email messages are handled by selecting an option in adss.tv WebMail Preferences or by going to http://spamcontrol.adss.tv. If you wish, you can even choose not to use Spamcontrol and allow any junk mail to continue through to your Inbox. (See "What are the configuration options? Which one should I choose?" below.)
What are the configuration options? Which one should I choose?
There are three different options for handling junk email: Spam filter OFF, Quarantine Suspected Junk Email, and Delete Suspected Junk Email.
More information about each of these options is included when you are setting your Spamcontrol Preferences.
How do I activate filtering?
You can activate Spamcontrol by modifying your Spamcontrol Preferences in the adss.tv WebMail Preferences or by going to http://spamcontrol.adss.tv
Do I need any special email programs to use Spamcontrol?
No. Spamcontrol operates on adss.tv's email servers, not on customers' computers. No additional software is required and the email program you currently use will continue to work when using Spamcontrol.
Do I have to pay to use Spamcontrol?
No. Spamcontrol is available to all adss.tv Internet customers free of charge.
How do I know it is working?
If you select "Quarantine" as your junk email configuration option you will be able to see any email that has been identified as spam by viewing the Quarantine folder in your adss.tv WebMail at http://webmail.adss.tv (remember, junk email will be automatically deleted from your Quarantine folder after 10 days). If you selected "Delete" then you will notice a significant decrease in the amount of junk email you receive.
What do I do if email messages have been filtered incorrectly?
If you are using Spamcontrol to Quarantine or Delete suspected junk email, you can also use Whitelist and Blacklist features to increase the accuracy of the filtering. By adding the email addresses of your friends and associates to your Whitelist, email from those senders will be assured of not getting caught by Spamcontrol. Adding email addresses to your Blacklist of senders of spam or email addresses that you DO NOT want to receive email from will ensure that messages from those senders will get caught by Spamcontrol in the future.
Does the Spamcontrol detect messages containing viruses?
To some extent, yes. While Spamcontrol focuses on detecting junk email, many messages that contain viruses have similar characteristics as junk email messages and will often be detected as junk email. However, using Spamcontrol is not a substitute for using anti-virus software.
Does anyone read my email?
No. Spamcontrol is a computer software system. Detection and filtering of junk email is therefore accomplished without human interaction with your messages.
Do I need to take any additional measures to avoid junk email?
While you should not require other anti-spam software programs for your adss.tv provided email, regular precautions should still be taken to help avoid becoming a target for junk emailers.

Clevelan Santeliz, RHP: A setup man extraordinaire at Birmingham last summer, the Venezuelan prospect was added to the 40-man roster after posting an 0.96 ERA in 40 games and striking out 52 batters in 56 1/3 innings. He moved to the closer role at the end of the season and collected 10 saves. Throwing a fastball in the mid-90s and a plus slider, he pitches with a lot of energy and is a ton of fun to watch.
LHP David Holmberg (2[nd round]) is a high school star out of Florida who has four solid pitches, with a fastball that touches 90 mph, a 12-6 curve, a changeup and a slider. He also has a good feel for the mound.
RHP Kyle Bellamy (5) out of Miami is a fast-track prospect who combined for a 1.23 ERA in 20 games in relief between Bristol and Kannapolis, walking just two while striking out 32 in 22 innings. He limited hitters to a .169 average and then moved on to the Arizona Fall League, where he had a 1.59 ERA in five games.
RHP Justin Collop (6) out of Toledo had a 2.72 ERA in 15 games for Great Falls, striking out 33 in 39 2/3 innings and limiting Pioneer League hitters to a .257 average.
RHP Ryan Buch (8) out of Monmouth had the best fastball in the Draft class, one that touched the high 90s, as well as a curveball with plus potential. In 16 games in relief, he had a 3.38 ERA and limited hitters to a .183 average at Great Falls.

creative photography, experimental photography – Michał Giedrojć
Age group 1980, artist-photographer from Poland, student of Photography at the University of Arts in Poznań, for many years in the photographic branch. He had so many exhibitions – both individual and group, in Poland and abroad. Publications of his works were shown for years in many magazines around the world. He is a laureate of many competitions – especially those of international importance. He cooparate with various artists, also willingly shares his experience with other adepts of photographic art, leads workshops and meetings.
First of all, he is interested in creative photography. All photos represent his own, subjective view of reality, people, places. In works he gives you the possibility to get to know his visions, his perception of the world, the unreal world. Most of them are based on graphically manipulated images, the vision is filtered by sensitivity. Situation presented in artistic photography never happened and were only created by author's imagination and dreams. The quality, the consequence, the imagination – this is very important to him in photography, especially experimental photography. He likes this kind of conflict between what is realistic and what constitutes the author's imagination on the subject of a particular scene.
As he admits, experimental photography is pure passion, the idea of not only creation, but also for life. The uniqueness of moments leads to a subjective presentation of reality, emotions, details. He is not afraid of his own opinion, he is looking for the truth.
The creative process does not start with pressing the shutter button. This is just one part of the whole work. In artistic photography, creation starts with an idea, and the author never stars work without special vision of the photo. Time spent in front of computer monitor is the most important moment in the formation of the world on a particular picture, but the same focus is needed on every creative step.
The artist as his main artistic point consider his dreams visions, however, the creative photography allows him to wider artistic activities. He likes playing with expanse, different situations, or even yourself – his self-portraits. Everything is done without preconceived rules, which gives enormous possibilities. The main thing in his job is to arouse feelings and emotions in the audience, even if this would be a complete denial of all effects. This is just artistic photography – so many hours to create, then the final element of surprise, sometimes even for the author.

Snack Like A Southerner: Spicy Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork
Spicy Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork from The Pioneer Woman
1 whole Large Onion
1 whole Pork Shoulder ("pork Butt") - 5 To 7 Pounds
Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 can (11 Ounce) Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce
2 cans Dr. Pepper
2tbsps Brown Sugar
Step One:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Step Two:
Peel the onion and cut it into wedges. Lay them in the bottom of a large dutch oven.
Step Three:
Generously salt and pepper the pork roast, then set it on top of the onions in the pan.
Step Four:
Pour the can of chipotle peppers over the pork (include the sauce.) Pour in both cans of Dr Pepper. Add brown sugar to the juice and stir in.
Step Five:
Place lid tightly on pot, then set pot in the oven. Cook for at least six hours, turning roast two or three times during the cooking process. Check meat after six hours; it should be absolutely falling apart (use two forks to test.) If it's not falling apart, return to the oven for another hour.
Step Six:
Remove meat from pot and place on a cutting board or other work surface. Use two forks to shred meat, discarding large pieces of fat. Strain as much of the fat off the top of the cooking liquid as you can and discard it. Return the shredded meat to the cooking liquid, and keep warm until ready to serve. (You can also refrigerate the meat and liquid separately, then remove hardened fat once it's cold. Then heat up the liquid on the stovetop and return the meat to the liquid to warm up.
Step Seven:
Serve on warm flour tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, grated cheese, avocado slices, salsa, and whatever else you'd like.
This recipe is by The Pioneer Woman.


text: Justin Holman (vocals), Robert Davis (guitar), Nathaniel Cox (guitar), Bob Thiemann (bass), and David Piribauer (drums) comprise the infectious post-grunge sounds of Revis. They came together in the late '90s and played local gigs in their native Carbondale, IL, under the Orco moniker. A move to Los Angeles in 2001 gave them a new direction and a name change and motivated them to record a demo. Epic Records was impressed with their tight presentation and inked Revis a deal in 2002. Producer Don Gilmore joined them in the studio for their full-length debut later that summer. The end result was the guitar-laden Places for Breathing. Just as it was ready to hit stores in late May, the city of Carbondale christened May 19, 2003, as "Revis Day" in tribute to their young hometown heroes. The album went on to sell 10,000 copies during its first week of release and debuted at number one on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. ~ MacKenzie Wilson

Here's a short film starring danish singer Nina Bergman as Wonder Woman. She's kicking the evil Nazi asses of Peter Stormare and Sons Of Anarchy's Timothy V. Murphy, and she looks good doing it. Hence the awkward shot of her butt hanging out of her costume. Raise your hand if you'd like to see Captain America in those same short shorts.
According to Deadline, stuntman-turned-director Jesse V. Johnson's made this $3500 "fan film" to attract studio attention in hopes of making a feature film. There are some visually arresting moments, and some straight-up goofy ones, too. So, basically, it's like every superhero movie already. But at least there's a bad-ass lady lead? Enjoy?

Consider graphs on $n$ nodes. I am trying to find a graph $G$ that contains all $n$-node trees as sub-graphs but contains as few edges as possible. The complete graph $K_n$ suffices, but can we get by with fewer edges? Maybe $O(n)$ edges?
(This problem arose in the context of circuit design, where edges in $G$ correspond to wires in a chip layout.)

The week in review
Most surprising National Book Award finalist: The 567-page report of the 9/11 Commission, for which Miller Center chief Philip Zelikow served as executive director and "surrogate author."
Worst Black Hawk down: An Army helicopter crashes in Buckingham County during night-vision exercises October 27. Of the seven on board, the pilot is in critical condition at UVA Medical Center, and three soldiers are treated for minor injuries.
Latest setback for Faulconer Construction: After the Albemarle Planning Commission shoots down the company's plans to build a maintenance facility off Morgantown Road in Ivy, the Board of Supervisors unanimously rejects Faulconer's site plan October 27.
More minimum wage: UVA raises its lowest pay scale from $8.37 to $8.62 an hour starting December 22.
Best headline: "Police seize shroom supply" in the October 29 Progress.
Biggest psychedelic haul: Police arrest Ian J. Saul October 27 after finding 100 grams of psilocybin mushrooms and 67 hits of ecstasy in his Albemarle residence, according to the Reed Williams story, and say Saul was growing the shrooms.
Most expensive bomb threats: Madison County pegs the cost of school bomb threats– five in 36 days– at $14,500, reports Olympia Meola in the Progress.
Most inane bomb threat: Mark Edward Baber is charged with threatening to blow up Applebee's October 31.
Worst hit on Bodo's: Twin brothers Jeff and Gregory Coleman are charged with breaking and entering the bagelry on Preston Avenue October 28.
Worst Halloween costume: Estranged husband Kurt William Kroboth allegedly breaks into his wife's house around 4am November 1 wearing a werewolf mask and attempts to put a chemical-soaked handkerchief over her face. Police charge Krobeth with abduction, attempted malicious wounding, and attempted murder.
Most shocking academic shooting: University of Richmond Professor Fredric M. Jablin is found dead in his Henrico County driveway October 30 while his three children are asleep inside his house, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.
Most personal political ads: In the last week of the election, Fifth District incumbent Virgil Goode blasts Democratic opponent Al Weed with the L-word, while Weed calls Goode "out of touch" as wine glasses clink in the background.
Worst news for the NAACP: The IRS threatens to yank the organization's tax-exempt status because of remarks NAACP chairman (and UVA prof) Julian Bond made disparaging George W. Bush at the group's annual convention in July, the Washington Post reports. Nonprofits like the NAACP are prohibited from participating in political campaigns. Bond responds that the NAACP has always been nonpartisan– "but that doesn't mean we're noncritical."
Biggest diss to Larry Sabato: The Washington Post asks 13 prognosticators to dust off their crystal balls and predict the election outcome– but the Crystal Ball-meister himself does not appear in the October 31 op-ed piece.
Most eager for the day after the election: The City of Charlottesville is poised to shut down Seventh Street almost as soon as the polls close to begin construction of Presidents Plaza, the amphitheater, and transit center.
Twenty-first most: UVA ties with five other research institutions for the number 21 spot on the list of Fulbright Scholars producers.
Most embarrassing St. Anne's-Belfield gaffe: The prestigious private school runs an ad in the November 1 Progress for an open house that reads, "Your invited!"– but promptly corrects the mistake in a November 2 ad.

If you are looking for Web Server or FTP server and you don't to have a complicated process, xampp can be considered as your choice.
The most thing I like from XAMPP is separate setup with the Linux system and it's easy to use. So, next time I don't need it, I just remove its directory, and that's it. I don't need to do uninstall process.
XAMPP has been tested to work on SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake and Debian, mean it works with Ubuntu.
There are 4 steps to do before you can run XAMPP on Linux.
Step 1. Downloading
First, you have to download the program from http://apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html.
Click "XAMPP for Linux" to open "XAMPP for Linux" web page.
Select "XAMPP Linux 1.6.6" to download xampp-linux-1.6.6.tar.gz. It's the source code program. We have to compile before it can run. The version number that you see below can be different at the time you go to the Xampp website, because there it may has a new update or version.
Step 2. Installing
After downloading process complete, go to your download directory. In my laptop, I save on mydata/new_download/ directory. The directory can be different. It depends on your download directory default.
Now, open your Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and go to your "download directory" using 'cd' command following with your directory name. Check the xamp-linux-1.6.2.tar.gz file using 'ls -l' command.
Copy the xampp-linux.1.6.2.tar.gz file to '/opt' directory.
Extract the xampp-linux.1.6.2.tar.gz file.
The xampp-linux.1.6.2.tar.gz file will be extracted to 'lampp' directory.
To check the result, go to 'lampp' directory using 'cd' command and check the content using 'ls -l' command.
If you see in the picture below, 'lampp' file with green color font, is an executable file. This is the file that you need to run the xampp server.
Step 3. Start the server
To run the xampp server, type 'sudo ./lampp start'.
Step 4. Test it.
Open your browser program and type 'localhost'. If you have the screen below, you've xampp run in your system already.
Click 'English' to enter XAMPP for Linux welcoming screen.
That's it. Now, you have Apache, MySQL and FTP server in your system already.

The enigma of chariots in the 3rd dynasty of Egypt is easily explained
The Bible records that Joseph was given a chariot to travel through Egypt.
If Joseph and Imhotep were the same person, this would mean that chariots existed in Egypt as early as the third dynasty.
In the third dynasty, only high officials like the pharaoh and his chancellor / sage / vizier were afforded a chariot to travel in.
Chariots in the 3rd dynasty were not horse drawn, they were carried by a procession of servants.
The Hebrew word 'merkabah' in the Bible can be translated as 'chariot' or 'riding seat'. It does not distinguish between a vehicle that is horse drawn or a vehicle that is carried.
In Joseph's time, this word is better translated as 'Riding Seat' as there were no horse drawn Chariots with wheels in the third dynasty.
Horse drawn chariots with wheels were used for military purposes and were not introduced until the late 12th / 13th dynasty.
Most of the chariots of the 12 & 13th dynasty were lost in the Red Sea at the time of the Exodus. Paintings depicting horse drawn chariots in the 12th dynasty would not have survived.
It is hardly surprising then that there are no findings of horse draw chariots before the Hyksos (15th dynasty) unless, of course, one accepts that the chariot wheels found in the Red Sea by Wyatt in 1978 were from the 12th and 13th dynasty.

Emerging Leaders 2008: Group O
Sponsored by [1] (Reference and User Services Association)
Design and conduct a survey on how interlibrary loan operations are staffed in different size and types of libraries.
Design and conduct a survey focused on how interlibrary loan operations are staffed in different sizes and types of libraries. A possible part 2 (0r 3) of the project could be to design a "databank" for the survey results that would allow interested persons to search for data relevant to their library environment.
This project is a natural follow-up to previous work done within STARS and other organizations, including a survey conducted earlier this year by the STARS Task Force on Qualifications for Interlibrary Loan Operations Management, contact persons: David Larsen, U of Chicago Library, and Susan Lieberthal, Stonybrook U Library. Information re: staffing in research libraries is also included in Assessing ILL/DD Services: New Cost Effective Alternatives, Mary E. Jackson, with Bruce Kingma and Tom Delaney.
Expected Outcomes
The results of the survey will be available to libraries via RUSA web page and would provide useful planning information.

Atari founder Nolan Bushnell recently talked to GameDaily about his uWink business, a growing chain of restaurants that feature touch terminals on every table - not only do they let users order their food that way, but they can also play games together.
And Bushnell estimated the number of games he'd be able to serve through uWink at 600 trillion games across 100,000 restaurants Ambitious - but hey, it's Nolan Bushnell, right?
When we covered Bushnell's recent talk at Wedbush Morgan's annual management access conference, we heard him say that he misses the idea of gaming as a social activity, since the decline of arcades, and that part of what he hopes to do with uWink is to revive that group spirit and keep multiplayer that's actually in-person alive.
In the GameDaily interview, he cited an example - Pong used to be a hot tool for chicks to pick up guys at bars?
"What's the essence of that game experience?" Bushnell asks, pausing before answering his own question. "The essence of that game experience is the social experience."
And there's a precedent for such things. "Pong was highly social," he reminds us. Bushnell recalls the early days when the game was introduced to bars. "It was okay for a woman to pull a guy off the bar stool to come and play with her, because it was only a two player game. And so it was like a constant girl's choice in a bar.
