Now that actual voting has started in the 2016 presidential campaign, there’s been more than the usual amount of chatter and speculation about whether this might be the year for a contested convention – particularly on the Republican side, given the large field of GOP candidates and the unpredictable nature of the contest so far. A contested convention, for those who’ve never experienced one (which is to say, everyone under the age of 35 or 40), occurs when no candidate has amassed the majority of delegate votes needed to win his or her party’s nomination in advance of the convention....

Capt. Jerry Yellin, from Fairfield, Iowa, flew the final combat mission in World War II. World War II veterans visit Iwo Jima for the 70th anniversary Mar. 21 in commemoration of the end of World War II.

6:15 PM Saturday 12/25/2010 - As has been projected for days by various computer models, and outlined in our Storm Technical Analyses, the U.S. East Coast this weekend will experience the most high impact winter storm since March 1993. With Blizzard Warnings in effect from the New York City metro area to Southern New England, and Winter Storm Watches or Warnings covering all of the Carolinas, it is fair to say this event has lived up to the moniker our team assigned of "Snow Miser Surpriser." The extraordinary measures that countless thousands of public safety, service and logistics sector employees...

FRONT (pro): Richard Davis may be an outsider, but his ideas for big cuts to government spending fit right in with the Tea Party. REVERSE (anti): To turn our economy around, our government must act boldly. But Richard Davis and the Tea Party think government is part of the problem, and want to make it as small as possible. Richard Davis: - Plans to cut government spending - Will drastically reduce the size of government across the board - is a complete outsider Richard Davis: Is he too conservative? Paid for by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee...

Preface. In reading the history of nations, we find that, like individuals, they have their whims and their peculiarities; their seasons of excitement and recklessness, when they care not what they do. We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first. We see one nation suddenly seized, from its highest to its lowest members, with a fierce desire of military glory; another as...

FLINT, Mich. -- Obama reiterated his commitment to withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq during a telephone conversation this morning with the country's foreign minister, he told reporters in a 10-minute press conference on the tarmac here. ... He said he told Zebari that negotiations for a Status of Forces agreement or strategic framework agreement between the two countries should be done in the open and with Congress's authorization and that it was important that that there be strong bipartisan support for any agreement so that it can be sustained through a future administration. He argued it would make sense to...

I was just watching MSNBC whining, because I refused to watch O'Reilly serving softballs to Obama. The RNC was showing a video tribute to the 9/11 victims. After the tribute, Olby breaks back, and makes note that what he has to say is for our ears only, that he doesn't want to disturb his colleagues at the convention (Olby is in NY studio). He then says, if any network showed these terrible disturbing images at such length, they would be skewered by everyone for their insensitivity, including the RNC. He went on to say he lost close friends in 9/11,...

The Tour and the Truth Let's begin with a hearty round of congratulatons to Charlie Engle and the two other guys who just ran all the way across the Sahara. Sure, it's a stunt run, and Charlie's a whore for publicity, but it's an absolutely amazing feat. Well done. Onward. A ho-hum transitional stage at the Tour of California yesterday. Today marks the move southward, with a push from Stockton to San Jose. For those who know their California topography, this is a push from the low-lying regions of the Sacramento Delta, back toward the coastal mountains that will define...

Am I the only conspiracy theorist left here, regarding the resignation of the NOLA chief? I haven't heard one wild speculation, so here goes: I guessing he was told by the FBI that his padding the police rolls could result in charges relating to the wrongful deaths of NOLA citizens. I will then speculate that he was told he could ride out that storm on his own, or else he could go into witness protection and rat on the higher ups in government (recall LA politicians are the most investigated and convicted officials in the nation). The key will be...

As a political and journalistic experiment, I decided to see how people who live in primarily one-party areas would react when faced with a living, breathing member of the opposition. I appointed myself an ambassador to bridge the Red-Blue divide and ventured into each side's territory dressed in the T-shirt, campaign button, and tote bag of the other. (A baseball cap, I decided, pushed the ensemble one step over the line, making me look a raving nut about to start yelling obscenities.) For four days, I wandered Republican areas in a Kerry-Edwards shirt and button and loitered in the heart...

Death Rate Casts Shadow over Russia ----- Since Soviet Union's fall, life expectancy has fallen, and so has the birth date ----- Is the country dying of despair? ----- By Douglas Birch, Sun Foreign Correspondent OIMYAKON, Russia - A few years ago, a retired math teacher named Tamara I. Vasileve began poring through diaries and records of births and deaths in this Siberian village of 950 people... But in the 1960's, as the Soviet Union's economy began to stagnate, the number of people in their 70's, 80's or 90's began to shrink... Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in...

I had the opportunity to hear a talk by a US Army scientist (pathologist??) from an Army medical laboratory based in Bethesda, Maryland the other day, and the topic was quite eye-opening. I should add the disclaimer that I am not in the medical field, but rather in the terminal ballistics research area for the US military. Since the author indicated the result will soon be sent to the open literature journals, and since the audience was international, I feel free to reveal some of what he related. As background, there is this ongoing struggle in the military community to...

A colleague had a chance to hear the new Chief of Staff of the Army (GEN Schoomaker, Shinseki's replacement) speak (I'm not sure of the forum). He summarized the talk into a memo, which was distributed to the chain. Sorry about some of the jargon. I don't know it all myself. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the review, other than to say the source is credible. So inaccuracies, if any, are mistranscriptions, and not fabrications. Here is what it said: Subject: New CSA's Comments Some of the highlights of what the CSA said: 1. He had no idea...
