The efficient control of electrical vehicles may contribute to sustainable use of energy. In recent studies, a model has been analyzed and several algorithms based on branch and bound have been presented. In this work, we discuss a reformulated model on the control of an electric vehicle based on the minimization of the energy consumption during an imposed displacement. We will show that similar results can be obtained by applying standard software. Moreover, this paper shows that the specified control problem can be handled from a dynamic programming perspective.

So expensive are rail lines to build, maintain and operate that most rail regions have, at some point, been forced to significantly raise fares and/or curtail bus services, often leading to a loss of transit riders.
Thanks in part to the high cost of rails, transit systems in Atlanta, Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and the San Francisco Bay Area carried fewer riders in 2005 than two decades before.
Los Angeles lost 17 percent of its bus riders when it began building rail transit, a decline reversed only when the NAACP successfully sued the region’s transit agency for favoring white neighborhoods with rail service while cutting bus service to black and Hispanic neighborhoods.
Due to financial stresses caused by the high cost of rail transit, San Jose cut its transit service by 20 percent and lost a third of its transit riders.
The mass transit system in Portland, Ore., carries only 7.6 percent of the region’s commuters, down from 9.8 percent before rail construction began.
The subway in Washington, D.C., is wonderful for tourists, but not commuters: Though the region gained more than 100,000 jobs between 1990 and 2000, the transit system lost more than 20,000 daily commuters.
Many people who support rail transit hope other people will ride it, leaving less congested roads for everyone else. But rail systems that lose transit ridership or transit’s share of travel make congestion worse, not better.
As Charlotte has discovered, building a rail system is far more complicated than simply providing excellent bus service. Rail construction requires long‐range forecasts of revenues, costs and ridership trends — forecasts that are almost invariably wrong. As a result, rail projects go an average of 40 percent over budget and end up carrying an average of 35 percent fewer riders than projected.
Nor is rail the environmental panacea its advocates promise. Light rail may seem to use less energy and emit less pollution than buses or cars. But rail lines must be supplemented by feeder buses that tend to run much emptier than the corridor buses the rail lines replaced. Empty buses mean high energy use and pollution per passenger, so the transit system as a whole ends up consuming more energy and producing more pollution, per passenger, than if it ran only buses.
Transit advocates brag that transit produces less carbon monoxide than autos. But carbon monoxide is no longer a serious environmental threat. Today’s problems are nitrogen oxides, particulates and greenhouse gases. Diesel buses, and rail cars whose electric power comes from burning coal, produce far more of these pollutants than today’s automobiles.
For all these reasons, Charlotte should stop building new rail lines. In fact, the best use of the line now under construction might be to pave it over and convert it to exclusive bus lanes. Those bus lanes could move more people at far lower financial and environmental costs than the multibillion‐dollar rail network that the Charlotte Area Transit System wants to complete.

Parsnip and Potato Soup With Crisp Diced Bacon
- From Roots: The Definitive Compendium by Diane Morgan (Chronicle Books, 2012)8 serving(s)
3 fresh thyme springs
3 fresh flat-leaf parsley springs
2 bay leaves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 1/2 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/4 cup dry sherry
6 cups homemade chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Kosher or fine sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper
5 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1. Cut an 8-inch square of cheesecloth and place the thyme, parsley, and bay leaves in the center to make a bouquet garni. Bring up the edges to form a bag and tie securely with kitchen twine. Set aside.
2. In a stockpot or heavy soup pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat and swirl to coat the pot bottom. Add the onion, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the parsnips and potatoes and cook, stirring constantly, until well coated with butter, about 2 minutes. Add the sherry, raise the heat to medium-high, and saute the vegetables, stirring constantly, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the stock and the bouquet garni to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, cover partially, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork and soft enough to puree, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 10 minutes.
3. Discard the bouquet garni. Working in batches, process the soup to a smooth puree in a blender or food processor. Return the pureed soup to the pot, place over low heat, and add the cream. Warm the soup until steaming hot. Do not allow to boil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
4. Line a plate with paper towels. In a frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to the towel-lined plate to drain.
5. Ladle the soup into a warmed tureen or individual bowls, garnish with the bacon, and serve immediately.

- Game-Day Parking and Road Construction Information
- 2005 Hawkeye Huddles
- Follow the Renovation of Kinnick!
- The Schedule: 2005 and Beyond
So, thinking you were one of the more than 15,000 fans of the Iowa Hawkeyes on hand last Saturday at historic Kinnick Stadium for Alliant Energy’s “Kids at Kinnick” event and you’re kinda thinkin’ about getting one of those outdoor club seats in the new press box.
Well, here’s a hawkeyesports.com exclusive: Pictures of the playing field from levels one and two of the new press box. The photos were taken during team warm-ups of last Saturday’s special event. Two were taken from level one in a space that will be a private suite next September when the new press box is completed an opens for business.
Two more were taken from level two. That level contains a little more than 1,100 outdoor club seats. The photos were taken from the southern-most end of the new facility, a space that club seats which cost $1,900 per seat are available.
Both locations – level one and level two – offer breathtaking views of the playing field inside historic Kinnick Stadium. They also both offer a stunning view of the new scoreboard – it almost looks like your very own personal big screen television.
Like all the premium seating opportunities inside the press box, the leasing of one of four remaining suites (out of 43 available) or one of the 200 or so outdoor club seats unsubscribed as of today (out of 1,100) are available on a contract of three, five or seven years in length.
The owners of a premium seating opportunity will enjoy all the amenities of a state-of-the-art structure including private restrooms on each level and upscale dining options on each level. A portion of the purchase price can be claimed as a tax deductible contribution.
To check out the view, click HERE and visit the photo gallery inside kinnickrenovation.com, the official world wide web site of the multi-million dollar renovation of historic Kinnick Stadium.
Fans of the Hawkeyes are reminded that less than 500 tickets remain for the Hawkeyes’ season opener against Ball State on Sept. 3. To purchase yours go online at hawkeyesports.com or call the UI Athletic Ticket Office at 1-800 IA-HAWKS. Tickets can also be purchased over the counter at the UI Athletic Ticket Office in Carver-Hawkeye Arena and the Iowa City/Coralville Convention and Visitors Bureau information desk inside nearby Coral Ridge Mall.
All other home games for the defending Big Ten Conference champions are sold out; UI Athletic Department officials also expect the season opener to reach sellout status.

Purdue football: Hazell previews Michigan State
Welcome to another Tuesday during the Purdue football season.
It's coach Darrell Hazell back at the podium, fielding questions from members of the media about Saturday's matchup against No. 8 Michigan State at Ross-Ade Stadium.
To wet the appetite check out Purdue's helmet for Saturday. Consider this an early bonus item.
According to the school, the Boilermakers will wear the special helmets, along with neon yellow shoe laces, socks and gloves. Purdue will also wear all white uniforms for the game against the Spartans. Michigan State will wear a dark color jersey.
Five things from Hazell:
• Linebacker Sean Robinson is out after an MRI reveal a "significant injury" to his ACL during the victory over Illinois. Hazell didn't rule out Robinson trying to come back later in the season. This is nothing new to Purdue fans. Robert Marve played on a torn ACL. Myles Norwood also suffered a knee injury in the win at Illinois, but Hazell said the MRI didn't reveal any damage to the ACL.
• Robinson's absence creates a different lineup at linebacker. Freshman Ja'Whaun Bentley becomes the middle linebacker and the base package would include Jimmy Herman (strongside) and Danny Ezechukwu (weakside). The question becomes can the Boilermakers slow down the run using five defensive backs, which has become their best defense?
• The biggest surprise through the first six games? The offensive line. Granted, the group didn't play well against Iowa but the line has been pretty consistent in the other games. No sacks and no turnovers against Illinois. The same in the season opener against Western Michigan. Purdue also rushed for 349 yards last week.
• There's a reason the Spartans are solid against the run, allowing 72 yards per game.
"They have nine guys paying attention to the running game first," Hazell said.
Nebraska managed just 47 rushing yards against MSU's defense.
• Now that opponents have a full game watching quarterback Austin Appleby, what's his biggest challenge?
"The big challenge for Austin is to not try to do too much and play within scheme of the offense," Hazell said.

The Penticton Vees swept their first round of the BCHL Playoffs after a 5-1 win over the Trail Smoke Eaters in game four of their Interior Conference Quarterfinal series on Wednesday night.
The game was in a deadlock 0-0 before Penticton opened the scoring late in the second period, after Dovar Tinling poked in a rebound from the crease off of Bradly Nadeau’s one-timer.
The Vees’ used a power play to double the lead just over a minute later, when Josh Nadeau scored his first of two in the game to put Penticton up 2-0.
Trail responded with a goal by Adam Marshall with 65 seconds left in the second period, when his one-timer shot found the back of the net to make it 2-1.
The Vees extended their lead once again in the third period.
Josh Nadeau scored his second of the game nearly eight minutes into the final frame, taking a set up from his younger brother Bradly on an odd-man rush to make it 3-1.
The Vees' last two goals came in the final five minutes, with Owen Simpson scoring his first of the playoffs to put Penticton up 4-1. Aydar Suniev passed to Simpson for his second goal, where he slid it in the slot with a one-handed drop pass. Simpson hit the empty net with 31 seconds to go, making the final score 5-1.
Marshall scored Trail’s only goal, as the Smoke Eaters fell in the first round to Penticton for the second consecutive season. Trail goaltender Keegan Maddocks turned aside 48 of 52 shots fired at him.
“[Keegan] Maddocks was certainly outstanding in net and was a big difference maker for them tonight,” Vees’ Assistant Coach Steve Cawley said in the game news release. “Overall, the way we played is the way you want to play a road playoff game.”
Penticton has won 19 games in a row dating back to Feb. 10 and have won 20-straight playoff games going back to April 1, 2022.
The Vees enter their round two playoff games starting next Friday, April 14, with puck drop at 7 p.m. The team they will face is yet to be determined.

Teenager Dies in Crash Along S.R. 417 in Orange County
A teenager who was visiting Florida from New York died on Thursday night after a car crash that took place between two cars along State Road 417 in Orange County. Reports from the Florida Highway Patrol indicated that the collision happened sometime during the night, and it appears that the driver of a 2007 Nissan Maxima lost control of their vehicle while traveling along the southern lanes of State Road 417.
While the incident still remains under investigation, the reports so far released by the Florida Highway Patrol in Orange County stated that the a 47-year-old individual from New York was driving their car, a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica, down the southern lanes of State Road 417 when the 2007 Maxima’s driver crashed into them after either attempting to change lanes or losing control of their car. Once the two vehicles struck one another, neither of the drivers were able to retain control over their vehicles and both cars wound up crashing into and over a guardrail located along this particular stretch of the roadway.
The 14-year-old, a passenger inside of the Pacifica, was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. They were thrown through the windshield of the Pacifica. As a result of the injuries that this person sustained in the accident, they were declared dead at the scene of the crash. The driver of the Maxima and the driver of the Pacifica were both injured in the crash, but it is not believed that either of the injuries these two individuals sustained were life-threatening.
When police and EMTs arrived at the scene, they found that one of the cars was still dangling over the guardrail located along the shoulder of State Road 417. This fact alone attests to the severity of the collision and the force with which the two cars shot off of the road and over the guardrail.
Officers with the Florida Highway Patrol have indicated that, while the incident remains under investigation, the driver of the Maxima is facing numerous charges as a result of the crash.

American Jewish University's students and alumni, from the Graduate School of Nonprofit Management (GSNM), Graduate Center of Education (GCE) and Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies (ZSRS), are often honored for their contributions to their communities. Most recently Emily Dubin Field, MBA '10 and Joel Charnick, MBA '11, were honored by major Los Angeles nonprofits.
Emily received the Spirit Award from Our House, a nonsectarian grief support center. She was recognized at the annual gala for her role in founding the organization's associate board and cultivating the next generation of leaders, donors and volunteers. And, when she gave the address at AJU's 2010 commencement on behalf of the graduate program, it was apparent to everyone that Emily was going to be successful.
Joel, who is in his eighth year as Camp Director for Camp JCA Shalom, was presented with the Jerry Ringerman Leadership Award which was particularly meaningful to Joel as he knew and was inspired by Jerry Ringerman, the former camp director. Joel was recognized for his leadership in building - along with his team - an atmosphere that inspires camp staff and creates a safe place for camp participants to grow. Joel, along with the fiancé he met in the MBA program, will graduate this spring.
Each year the Covenant Award (the Nobel Prize for educators) is presented to three exceptional educators nationwide who demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to excellence and whose innovative approaches create a lasting impact on their students, community and Jewish education. This year one of the three national winners was GCE alumna, Beth Huppin '81. Beth has taught day school Judaic Studies at the Seattle Jewish Community School since 1995 where she is currently teaching fifth-grade. She is also a middle school and adult education teacher at Congregation Beth Shalom in Seattle.
GCE was also well represented among those who received the other prestigious national award, the Grinspoon-Steinhardt Award for Excellence in Jewish Education. Schools around the country nominate an educator, and then a local panel selects the winning teacher for that community. This year Rabbi Ruven Barkan, a graduate of AJU's College of Arts and Sciences '95 and AJU's GCE '97, and Michael Raileanu, GCE '94 were honored with the award. Barkan was recognized for his contribution as Rabbi-in-Residence; Bible, Talmud and Jewish Thought Departments at Chicagoland Jewish High School, while Raileanu was awarded for his impact as Assistant Head of School, Solomon Schechter Day School, in St. Louis, MO.
The Herman Braunstein Red Yarmulke Humanitarian Award, was presented on January 9th to assistant rabbis who make a difference for Conservative Judaism as a movement and within their synagogues. This year the committee selected rabbis who, even though they were not senior rabbis, were able to achieve these accomplishments behind the scenes. Four of the six selected are graduates of the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, Gary Oren of Temple Aliyah, Joshua Hoffman of Valley Beth Shalom, Susan Leider of Temple Beth Am, and Deborah Silver of Adat Ari El. Rabbi Oren has had a deep and broad impact on the Temple Aliyah community, whether working with individual congregants or with the larger vision of the entire synagogue community.
AJU alumni are providing leadership across the immediate and larger community. They are contributing to every sector of our society with their unique vision and entrepreneurial spirit.

Cross country skiing, or nordic skiing, is a classic winter adventure that the whole family can enjoy. What better way to take in the wintery Ontario scenery than by strapping on a pair of skis and gliding through the landscape?
I am not an expert cross country skier, I’m a beginner! I tried cross country skiing for the first time in 2016 and I had an absolute blast. It’s a fantastic way to get outside and see a wintery landscapes that we don’t otherwise get to explore.
If you’re a beginner skier, you’ll definitely want to rent your skis. It’s much cheaper to rent and it’s best to try the sport before committing to a full set of skis. I have compiled a list of the six best cross country ski trails for you. All of these trails offer ski rentals and have nice, gradual, groomed trails.
Albion Hills Conservation Area is an ideal destination for beginners, with over 27km of smooth, groomed trails. It is an affordable destination to get out and try cross country skiing. For less than $20 per person you can rent a full set of equipment for the day! Lessons are also available. Plus, there are chalets where you can stop and warm up along the way.
Hiawatha Highlands is an absolute must-see for anyone that wants to take in the natural beauty of the Lake Superior landscape. This was the first place that I tried cross country skiing, and it had me hooked.
Hiawatha has several tails of varying lengths, ranging from 2km-14km. They offer both evening and daily passes, all under $20 per person. Rentals are also available for all equipment. Hiawatha also works to make sure that skiing and snowshoeing are accessible for everyone to enjoy. There are no fees for anyone assisting a skier or snowshoer with special needs.
Arrowhead Provincial Park is home to a grand total of 10 groomed trails, stretching for 30km. These trails wind through dense forests, over rolling hills, through a spectacular winter wonderland. There are several shelters dotted along the trails for skiers to stop and warm up. The trail rates are under $15 per person, plus rental fees.
The Pinery Provincial Park is a popular summer destination for its beaches and unique sand dune structures. But it should also make your winter bucket list! Ski along the 38km of groomed trails, over gentle hills that are perfect for newbies. The trails are relatively flat, meaning that you won’t have to work too hard breaking a sweat climbing up hills. Trail fees are nice and affordable, under $15 per adult, and rentals range around $30 per adult.
Who knew that this ever-popular summer beach destination was also a fun-filled winter getaway? Wasaga Beach is a hidden winter gem. With over 30km of groomed trails, there is plenty to explore. The Blueberry Trail is nice and easy-going and the Wasaga Nordic & Trail Centre has equipment rentals, shelters for warming up, and refreshments to refuel along the way.
I would be remiss if I didn’t include Algonquin Provincial Park as one of the best winter destinations, for any activity. Algonquin has been voted as one of the top 10 best cross country skiing destinations in all of Canada by Canadian Geographic.
There are two beautiful groomed trails for you to glide along. While there are no rentals provided by the provincial park, Algonquin Outfitters can hook you up with everything you need to get out there.
One thing that I have learned from trying cross country skiing is that can be both an easy-going, relaxing adventure, and a workout! You can go at your own pace, and it won't take you long to get the hang of it.
Make sure you layer up so that you can strip-down appropriately. You’ll be breaking a sweat in no time. Remember, it’s only cold if you’re standing still. So strap on a pair of skis and hit the trails.

July 2016 Photo Contest - "my Best Photography Tip"
Posted 15 October 2016 - 02:50 PM
Kool move to Idaho! Beautiful country and friendly folks. What part of the state?
I lived there for 3 years back in the 70s and returned often in the 80s to go skiing.
I will be in the Boise area. Hopefully, out of the main town a bit and in one of the smaller surrounding towns.
So far everyone has been very friendly, and it is definitely beautiful country!
Posted 15 October 2016 - 03:12 PM
These are all great tips. One evening when I was with a friend in AZ were heading out and I grabbed my small but handy P&S to take along. Because I had it I got a spectacular sunset image. Old saying "the best camera is the one you have with you" is so true!

Of all the difficult choices confronting societies when they go about designing their legal systems, among the most controversial are those pertaining to judicial selection and retention. (1)
There is no one best way to select judges. (2) Any judicial selection system has both strengths and weaknesses. In order to create the best judicial selection process possible, society must be willing to design and create selection paradigms that result in the best-available individuals taking the bench even though, in the process, some well-entrenched aspects of existing schemes must fall by the wayside.
Judges usually take the bench via election or appointment. (3) Regardless of the judicial selection method employed in a given jurisdiction, most judges, even those in states utilizing judicial elections, initially take the bench through appointment. (4) Therefore, it be comes imperative to examine appointive procedures when evaluating the effectiveness of a judicial selection process.
This Article focuses on one of the pillars of the appointive process, the judicial nominating commission, although it warrants noting both that some jurisdictions that use judicial elections also use nominating commissions to fill vacancies, and that not all appointive systems utilize nominating commissions. (5) Although this Article eschews any analysis or discussion per se of the election alternative, (6) it suggests that all jurisdictions should have judicial nominating commissions. Naturally, a judicial nominating commission exists to screen and select nominees for judgeships. In discussing nominating commissions, the self-assigned purpose of this Article is to envision and describe a system that more likely will result in selecting the right person for the bench. (7)
The task in a good judicial selection system is not simply to fill vacancies, but to select the best candidates for judicial positions. Short of this goal, perhaps at the very least, a well-devised system can eliminate "seriously underqualified" candidates. (8) To accomplish this purpose through the use of a nominating commission scheme, we should strive to develop the ideal judicial nominating commission system. (9) That system should possess (at least) three principal features: it should adhere to democratic ideals; it should maintain as much independence as reasonably possible; and it should enjoy public acceptance and support. Additionally, local conditions and requirements must be considered in designing any commission scheme. Obviously, the needs of the various states and locales differ. (10) Selecting the appropriate judicial nominating commission scheme can be challenging, but effective judicial nomination commissions will greatly aid in the effort to obtain the best judges possible.
Almost needless to say, these features and considerations conflict to some extent. Because of the tension between them, they greatly complicate efforts to design an ideal commission. Despite these difficulties, we should not compromise on the principal features of an ideal scheme any more than necessary to reach the best possible balance. (11) A delicate balancing of democratic ideals and independence will garner public support for a judicial nominating commission without over-compromising any of these core principles.
This Article consists of five Parts. Part I introduces the topic, briefly explains how I was introduced to the issues being aired, (12) and provides an overview of the three fundamental, principal concerns discussed, namely democratic ideals, independence, and public support. In Part II, the Article explores the process of properly designing a commission system. The first section of Part II identifies the goals for the appointment process and introduces the concept of commission capture. The second section of Part II focuses on the makeup of commissions. It examines potential sources of authority (i. …


Pence claims ‘we’re going to keep fighting’ to overturn election
Vice President Mike Pence delivered a fiery speech to screaming young MAGA supporters at a Turning Point USA conference Tuesday – where he publicly endorsed the president’s effort to challenge the election results without backing any specific conspiracy charge.
‘As our election contest continues, I’ll make you a promise. We’re going to keep fighting until every legal vote is counted,’ Pence told the crowd on a trip to Florida.
‘We’re going to keep fighting until every illegal vote is thrown out,’ he added.
He urged screaming young supporters to ‘stay in the fight’ – even as the crowd cheered to ‘stop the steal’ and called for ‘four more years.’
Vice President vowed to ‘keep fighting until every legal vote is counted,’ after the Electoral College met and made Joe Biden’s win official
‘Stay in the fight. Stay in the fight in our election. Stay in the fight in Georgia’s election. And stay in the fight every day that follows!’ Pence urged.
His appeals prompted the crowd to break into a chant of ‘Stop the steal!’ at what was part of the group’s student action summit.
He couched his demands for fairness in careful language – after President Trump held days of meetings with lawyers claiming a conspiracy theory involving voting machines rigged the election. Trump also met with conservative House members Monday seeking to challenge the election when a joint session meets to count the votes – and Pence presides.
‘We’re going to keep counting until every illegal vote is thrown out. We’re going to win Georgia, we’re going to save America, and we’ll never stop fighting to make America great again. You watch,’ he told the crowd.
Pence defended President Trump’s effort to overturn the election results, but spoke only in general terms of making sure every vote is counted
Members of the crowd chanted ‘Stop the steal!’ during Pence’s remarks
Pence pitched the reelection of GOP Sen. David Perdue in Georgia and Sen. Kelly Loeffler. Both face runoffs there. Trump also called for reelecting both, while accusing Republican state officials of working against him
The event featured little social distancing, according to a pool reporter. Trump campaign advisor and Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle was there
His appearance followed reports that Trump has fumed that Pence isn’t doing enough to fight to overturn the election results, Axios reported.
The attacks come as the president surrounds himself with new outside advisors who are feeding him theories about the election being stolen – even as White House aides have sought to tamp down ideas like Mike Flynn’s public pitch to use martial law to rerun elections in states Trump lost.
The also follow a new online ad by the anti-Trump Lincoln Project that seeks to inflame any potential doubts Trump harbors about his VP.
Pence began by bringing greetings from Trump, who has been holed up in the White House for days and focusing on his claims of election fraud.
‘With your support, President Trump and our team received more than 74 million votes across America,’ Pence said, accurately stating Trump’s vote total, which Trump often rounds up to 75 million.
Vice President Mike Pence spoke to Turning Point USA Tuesday. He got a coronavirus vaccine Dec. 18
He noted it was 10 million more than in 2016 ‘and more votes than any incumbent president in American history.’ That is also true – although Joe Biden got 81 million votes, making him the popular vote winner. The Electoral College has made Biden’s 306 to 232 win official.
Sources claim President Donald Trump is ‘fed up’ with White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and suspect he could be the next fired – and they fear the president would replace him with a fringe loyalist
‘Come January 5, we’re going to hold the line in the U.S. Senate, reelect Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue to a Republican majority on Capitol Hill,’ Pence vowed, pointing to the two incumbent GOP senators.
He didn’t mention January 6, when Congress counts the Electoral College votes.
His speech came a day after departing Attorney General Bill Barr stood by comments that he didn’t see widespread election fraud that would overturn the results, and would not name a special counsel to probe Trump’s claims of fraud.
Pence also touted the administration’s vaccine efforts – although according to a pool reporter traveling with him, there was virtually no social distancing, with students sitting shoulder to shoulder in chairs, then standing during much of the speech.
‘It’s a medical miracle and a promise made and a promise kept,’ said Pence, who himself got the vaccine days ago along with his wife, Karen.
Once again, Pence heaped adulation on Trump, despite reports of the rift. He called Trump ‘a leader who has fought every day to keep the promises he’s made to the American people and a man who will never stop fighting to Make America Great Again.’
In the final days before ending his term, the president has fumed about people failing to sufficiently rally to his side, with his outrage variously directed at Pence, White House counsel Pat Cipollone, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, several top officials told Axios.
Sources claim the president has become ‘fed up’ with Cipollone, who was one of his defense team in the Senate when Trump was impeached.
The president, according to a source who spoke with Trump, feels Pence isn’t fighting hard enough to overturn the election results.
The same source says that a Lincoln Project ad suggesting Pence is ‘backing away’ from Trump has gotten into the president’s head and made him more paranoid about his relationship with the vice president.
Some supporters of the White House counsel are concerned that Trump is considering firing him just days before leaving office and replacing him with a loyalist.

That hugely ambitious attempt to bundle all the Trots in the country together and market them under one superbrand called The Socialist Alliance is just a folk memory now that Respect has stolen all the thunder, but only a few short years ago the Alliance was being hailed in some quarters as a real political achievement.
Who could disagree that it was ? Getting most of the various Citizen Smiths impersonators working together without too much argy bargy did seem to be a step forward at the time. The whole history of British Trotsktyism up till then had been characterised by handfuls of malcontents gathering in rented rooms, announcing themselves the provisional Central Committee of the Fourth International and denouncing their rivals huddled round different tables above other dingy pubs as splitters, Stalinists and spies.
Sadly the seeming unity of the Socialist Alliance was a chimera. Liz Davies – national chair of the organisation before she left in disgust – spills the beans on what she says was happening to the Comrades subscription money while her back was turned:
“In the Socialist Alliance, flagrant financial dishonesty was practised by SWP full-timers over a period of months. When this was uncovered, accidentally, the SWP leadership (with help from others) blocked all efforts to bring those responsible to account.”
Allegedly some of the senior Socialist Workers Party comrades had been practicing her signature – and then on finding out they were quite good at reproducing it – keeping their new found skills sharp by applying it to a series of cheques totalling more than £3000.
Davies explains further details of the alleged shenanigins below and in a joint statement with Mike Marquesee – who also left the Socialist Alliance at the same time – admits that she thought it was more important that the unity of the Anti-War movement was maintained than for the perpetrators to be confronted.
Several weeks after Liz’s resignation, she was given (on her insistence) a list of 7 cheques on which her signature had been forged. Five of those seven cheques were made directly payable to the three individuals involved or to ‘cash’. The five cheques were drawn for a total of more than £3,000. Liz had been completely unaware, until she received this list, that the forged cheques had been made payable to the perpetrators.
We are sure that activists on the left will understand why, in the autumn of 2002, we were reluctant to make any of this public. We were worried about various potential repercussions and especially about the damage that such publicity might have had on the anti-war movement at a crucial stage in its development (during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq).
Now the Socialist Unity website is in serious trouble with the SWP for daring to wash dirty Trotskyist linen in public. According to ultra-Left scandal mag the Weekly Worker the November Socialist Alliance Executive meeting was very far from being a happy ship:
John Rees butted in and warned that, unless it (the article linked to above)was removed forthwith, he intended to approach the next SWP central committee with a proposal to break a longstanding workers’ movement tradition and begin legal action against the publishers of the site.
Alleging fraud against any organisation is a very serious business and Harry’s Place takes no position on the truth or otherwise of the allegations except to say that the Royal Courts of Justice are going to start looking like the venue for a Respect Central Committeee meeting if Rees does make good his boast and follow fellow anti-war activist George Galloway’s example.

Bloomberg's union boss backer busted
The leader of a powerful labor union that recently endorsed Mayor Michael Bloomberg in his re-election campaign was charged Wednesday with taking bribes from contractors who were scheming to cut labor costs.
Michael Forde, executive secretary-treasurer of the New York City District Council of Carpenters and Joiners, surrendered to the FBI Wednesday to face racketeering, conspiracy and other charges.
Prosecutors said that in exchange for about $1 million in bribes, the union leadership let contractors pay workers with cash at below-union rate wages and employ nonunion and undocumented laborers. The defendants concealed the conspiracy by falsifying and destroying paperwork meant to keep the jobs honest, authorities said.
In June, the Bloomberg campaign announced it had received an endorsement from the 21,000-member carpenters' union, saying it "is known to have one of the best get-out-the-vote operations in organized labor, and on Election Day they will be putting their manpower to use on behalf of the mayor." A video posted on Bloomberg's campaign Web site shows Forde giving the mayor a hug after introducing him at a union rally.

The warmer weather has been easy on the budgets of counties when it comes to getting rid of snow and ice. Hamilton County engineer Dan Waid says the truck and plows haven’t had much to do in his north-central Iowa area. He says they’ve been fortunate to have good weather and that has helped on the budget for fuel and salt. Waid says the warm weather has had some drawbacks with rain and thawed ground.
Waid says the gravel roads have thawed and the added rain has caused muddy areas that need maintenance with the motor graders. Waid says the warm weather has allowed the crews that would normally be pushing snow to get other things done.
Waid says the weather has allowed them to get some construction projects finished. Most other counties in the state found themselves in the same boat, as there were few measurable snowfalls, and the warm temperatures quickly melted the snow that did fall.
