That has nothing to do with Clinton but rather is about Obama's White House staffing needs. Her failed effort to hire Sidney Blumenthal? A weird idea on her part, to be sure, but pretty minor in the scheme of things. Her candidate to lead USAID is caught up in a vetting process--but that's a story about the madness of confirmation politics, not internecine administration feuds. She hasn't been allowed to fill every ambassadorship at will, which would have been an extraodinary sacrifice of one of the most time-honored (if semi-corrupt) forms of presidential patronage.

Shear and Shailagh Murray<br>Washington Post Staff Writers <br>Monday, July 20, 2009 <br><br>Six months into his presidency, Barack Obama may have no greater test of his ability to translate personal popularity into a successful legislative agenda than the upcoming two weeks. <br><br>With skepticism about the president's health-care reform effort mounting on Capitol Hill -- even within his own party -- the White House has launched a new phase of its strategy designed to dramatically increase public pressure on Congress: all Obama, all the time. <br><br>Senior White House aides promise \"an aggressive public and private schedule\" for Obama as he presses his case for reform, including a prime-time news conference on Wednesday, a trip to Cleveland, and heavy use of Internet video to broadcast his message beyond the reach of the traditional media. <br><br>\"Our strategy has been to allow this process to advance to the point where it made sense for the president to take the baton. Now's that time,\" said senior adviser David Axelrod. \"I don't know whether he will Twitter or tweet. But he's going to be very, very visible.\" <br><br>Another senior White House aide added: \"It's time to raise the stakes on this.\" <br><br>But even as Obama returns to full-time campaign mode, he is facing increasing calls to show that his presidency can manage the tough, nitty-gritty of lawmaking by cutting deals with his allies to keep his health-care legislation moving in the House and Senate committees. <br><br>Conservative Democrats in the House are promising to vote against reform as it now stands, and are preparing two dozen amendments, including measures aimed at lowering the effort's long-term cost. In the Senate, members from both parties are urging the president to break his campaign promise to preserve the tax-free status of health benefits. And a chorus of weary voices from Capitol Hill is urging him to abandon his demand for passage of bills in the House and Senate by Aug. 7. <br><br>\"I don't think we should be bound by a timetable that isn't realistic,\"  Sen. Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine), a key swing-vote on health care, told Obama last week as she reminded him that President Lyndon B.

(Gateway drugs or kiddie cocaine)<br><br><b><a href="http://www.alternet.org/healthwellness/141369/big_pharma_bribes_doctors_to_hook_your_kids_on_drugs" rel="nofollow">Big Pharma Bribes Doctors to Hook Your Kids on Drugs</a></b> <br><br><blockquote>For decades, the majority of American doctors, mental health professionals, the media, and the general public have yielded to the disseminations of Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Biedeman who successfully evangelized for more children -- and younger children -- to be medicated with powerful psychiatric drugs.<br><br>&lt;snip&gt;<br><br>The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated in 2005 that 9% of boys and 4% of girls in the U.S. were taking ADHD stimulant medications; and according to a 2007 study, ADHD-drug prescriptions rose by almost 12 percent a year between 2000 and 2005.<br><br>ADHD drugs are either the "amphetamine-like" methylphenidate (e.g., Ritalin and Concerta) or actual amphetamines (e.g., Adderall and Vyvanse), so it should not be surprising that long-term use is associated with many hazards. The current Scientific American Mind piece, authored by Edmund S. Higgins, clinical associate professor of family medicine and psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina states, "Methylphenidate has a chemical structure similar to that of cocaine and acts on the brain in a very similar way." In February 2009, neuroscientists at the Rockefeller University reported cocaine-like structural and chemical alterations in the brains of mice given methylphenidate.</blockquote><hr>Guess which group\'s kids are the targets of these gateway drugs? Remember when school districts would threaten expulsion of a child from school if their parents resist giving them these drugs?<br><br>It is not just the doctors who benefit from the distribution of ADHD drugs. On more than one occasion, it has been pointed out, that school districts with children taking ADHD drugs receive more federal funds for special education. Other parents of school children have been enticed by receiving monthly checks if their kids take drugs like Ritian.</div>\

Early in the tournament, officials blithely admitted that for women players, "physical attractiveness is taken into consideration" when it comes to court assignments.

But much of the media dismissed the story as unimportant.<br><br>L.Z. Granderson, a normally sane voice in the ESPN archipelago, wrote a column in which he stated simply, "I don\'t see the harm." After conceding the obvious--that the policy is sexist--Granderson played devil\'s advocate: "I actually find the Wimbledon officials\' honesty quite refreshing...last I checked, gender equity in the workplace wasn\'t a beer on tap at the Kit Kat Club. <b><i>Sometimes, people like what they like, and accepting that also requires a certain degree of tolerance."</b></i></blockquote><hr>I see, black women still fail to be a model of beauty or even "easy on the eye".

Shear and Shailagh Murray<br>Washington Post Staff Writers <br>Monday, July 20, 2009 <br><br>Six months into his presidency, Barack Obama may have no greater test of his ability to translate personal popularity into a successful legislative agenda than the upcoming two weeks. <br><br>With skepticism about the president\'s health-care reform effort mounting on Capitol Hill -- even within his own party -- the White House has launched a new phase of its strategy designed to dramatically increase public pressure on Congress: all Obama, all the time. <br><br>Senior White House aides promise "an aggressive public and private schedule" for Obama as he presses his case for reform, including a prime-time news conference on Wednesday, a trip to Cleveland, and heavy use of Internet video to broadcast his message beyond the reach of the traditional media. <br><br>"Our strategy has been to allow this process to advance to the point where it made sense for the president to take the baton. Now\'s that time," said senior adviser David Axelrod. "I don\'t know whether he will Twitter or tweet. But he\'s going to be very, very visible." <br><br>Another senior White House aide added: "It\'s time to raise the stakes on this." <br><br>But even as Obama returns to full-time campaign mode, he is facing increasing calls to show that his presidency can manage the tough, nitty-gritty of lawmaking by cutting deals with his allies to keep his health-care legislation moving in the House and Senate committees. <br><br>Conservative Democrats in the House are promising to vote against reform as it now stands, and are preparing two dozen amendments, including measures aimed at lowering the effort\'s long-term cost. In the Senate, members from both parties are urging the president to break his campaign promise to preserve the tax-free status of health benefits. And a chorus of weary voices from Capitol Hill is urging him to abandon his demand for passage of bills in the House and Senate by Aug. 7. <br><br>"I don\'t think we should be bound by a timetable that isn\'t realistic,"  Sen. Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine), a key swing-vote on health care, told Obama last week as she reminded him that President Lyndon B. Johnson took 1 1/2 years to pass Medicare. <br><br><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/19/AR2009071901465.html?sid=ST2009072000002" rel="nofollow">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/ar...</a></div>\

Clinton sees Obama regularly and she enjoys a strong link to the White House’s national security team. (Clinton’s deputy, Jim Steinberg, works extremely closely and collegially with the current deputy national security advisor, Tom Donilon, a former colleague from the Bill Clinton years.) <br><br><b><a href="http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archive/2009/07/16/much-ado-about-hillary.aspx" rel="nofollow">Much Ado About Hillary</a></b><br><blockquote>Take, for instance, the data points in today\'s <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/16/us/politics/16clinton.html?_r=1&hp" rel="nofollow">New York Times story</a> presented in support of the notion that Hillary may have been "shunted to the sidelines": Middle East hand Dennis Ross has moved from Foggy Bottom to the NSC? That has nothing to do with Clinton but rather is about Obama\'s White House staffing needs. Her failed effort to hire Sidney Blumenthal? A weird idea on her part, to be sure, but pretty minor in the scheme of things. Her candidate to lead USAID is caught up in a vetting process--but that\'s a story about the madness of confirmation politics, not internecine administration feuds. She hasn\'t been allowed to fill every ambassadorship at will, which would have been an extraodinary sacrifice of one of the most time-honored (if semi-corrupt) forms of presidential patronage. And then there is her broken arm, unfortunate fodder for metaphor-hungry writers, but almost not worth discussing otherwise.</blockquote> <hr>Thought this would be interesting since JJPers discuss this yesterday.</div>\

He suggested that these companies might play a key role in boosting the economy and in helping the agency meet its mandate to bring high-speed Internet access to all Americans. <br><br>"That\'s where the greatest innovation is," he said. "What is interesting to me is to find ways to work with early-stage innovators to build from the edge and work on tomorrow\'s ideas." <br>The 46-year-old former venture capitalist offered few specifics on how he would bring those entrepreneurs into an agency that is still grappling with arcane policies on sharing telephone wires and the distribution of radio broadcast licenses. And he did not weigh in on some of the most vexing issues confronting the FCC, including complaints about exclusive wireless partnerships such as the one AT&T and Apple forged with the iPhone. <br>But he touted the role of high-tech and telecom startups and smaller competitors in creating jobs as the administration pushes to bring broadband access to the nation. <br><br><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/19/AR2009071901826.html?wpisrc=newsletter&wpisrc=newsletter&wpisrc=newsletter" rel="nofollow">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/ar...</a></div>\
