Hi Jean, no problem, I think Phil and I have it all sorted out.

So I will let you enter the session on Monday. I'll send something over the weekend or first thing Monday, once I've been through them. There a number of issues which relate to last year and who got orals/posters then. The other thing is for a room for 250+ people. If we have a medallist we want more. We had 500 last year (due to Ray) but we did keep most for the next few talks. We still had about ~200 for the session after Ray's.

I can put the session in once we're agreed. It seems as though we can't do that till mod-Feb.

No rush, I'm hoping to finalize the session on Monday. The Vinther et al stuff sounds very interesting--I'm looking forward to hearing more, sorry I won't actually be at EGU. talk to you later, mike Phil Jones wrote: Mike, Jean Thanks. I'll probably go with Vinther et al for the third invited. Not just as I'm on the author list, but because he'll show (will submit soon) that the Greenland borehole records (Dorthe Dahl Jensen) are winter proxies. Has implications for the Norse Vikings - as the summer isotopes (which unfortunately respond much to Icelandic than SW Greenland temps) don't show any Medieval warming. Jean probably knew all this. The bottom line is that annual isotopes are essentially winter isotopes as they vary 2-3 times as much as summer ones. If the squeezing of the layers doesn't distort anything this implies longer series are very winter half year dominant. I mostly agree with the other orals, but I have to look at a few. There is one on the Millennium project (EU funded) which Jean knows about. Might have to give this an oral slot. Jean - any thoughts? I assume you're happy to chair a session. I also need to check whether we will have to talk a medallist talk? No idea who?

Please see attached word document. Based on the rules described by EGU below, I suggest we have 2 oral sessions (consisting of morning and afternoon), with a total of 10 oral presentations w/ 7 of those being regular 15 minutes slots and 3 of those invited 25 minute slots. The other 27 abstracts will be posters, conforming w/ the fairly harsh limits imposed by EGU on oral presentations. My suggestions would be as follow: Invited Presentations (25 minutes): 1 Ammann et al 2 Hughes et al 3 either Emile Geay et al OR Vinther et al OR Crespin et al (preferences?) Other Oral (15 minutes): 4. 3 other of either Emile Geay et al OR Vinther et al OR Crespin et al 5. 3 other of either Emile Geay et al OR Vinther et al OR Crespin et al 6. Riedwyl et al 7.

This means that for a complete session, you need 18 contributions. 18:3 * 15min = 1.5h = 1 block For those of you who are under the number of 18, there are several options: 1) a pure poster session 2) merging with a related session 3) the contributions will go to the open session (CL0) 4) if you are just below 18, you may manage to get late contributions within the next days (please no dummy posters) Please tell me which option do you like most (email to [116]andrea.bleyer@awi.de). In case 2), please contact the respective conveners in advance. The session could be also from other divisions (BG, OS, AS, IS, ..). In case of merging, you may speak with the persons whether it would be appropiate to modify the title of the new session or to have a combined name with both titles. I think the general rule is that the convener of the merged session is the person with the bigger session.

WEATHER: 66F, SHOWERS POTUS and the Administration President Obama is urging Congress to pass TPP THE HILL // VICKI NEEDHAM President Obama on Monday said Congress needs to pass a sweeping Asia-Pacific trade agreement to ensure the United States takes the reins of global trade in the region instead of China. The Obama administration is working closely with lawmakers on Capitol Hill to build support for the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), arguing that delaying votes on the deal will make it harder to pass the agreement, the president said in a Washington Post op-ed. "The world has changed," Obama said. "The rules are changing with it," he said. "The United States, not countries like China, should write them. Let's seize this opportunity, pass the Trans-Pacific Partnership and make sure America isn't holding the bag, but holding the pen." He argued that the deal will grow the U.S. economy and strengthen national security. "But none of this will happen if the TPP doesn't become a reality," Obama said. "That's because the Asia-Pacific region will continue its economic integration, with or without the United States," he said. Obama on U.S. helicopter crash in bin Laden raid: 'Not an ideal start' CNN // NICOLE GAOUETTE President Barack Obama entered the Situation Room to watch the raid on Osama bin Laden's Pakistani compound just in time to see one of the specially equipped Black Hawk helicopters hit the ground. The President remembered thinking it was "not an ideal start," he told CNN's Peter Bergen in a lengthy and exclusive interview about the May 2011 raid that killed the mastermind of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Obama and key members of his inner circle spoke to CNN's Peter Bergen about the raid that killed the mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks for the "Anderson Cooper 360°" special on Monday at 8 p.m. ET: "'We Got Him': President Obama, Bin Laden and the Future of the War on Terror." Bergen's exclusive interview marks the first time Obama has sat down with a journalist in the main Situation Room, known as the John F. Kennedy Conference Room. President Obama Says Donald Trump Is Not Equipped to Be President ABC NEWS // JORDYN PHELLPS President Obama says that Republican front-runner Donald Trump is not equipped to deal with the challenges of being president. "I think that he is not somebody who even within the Republican Party can be considered as equipped to deal with the problems of this office, but look, we live in a democracy," President Obama said in an interview Monday with WMUR, an ABC affiliate in New Hampshire. If Trump does become the Republican nominee, Obama said he's confident that the Democratic nominee will win in a general election match-up. "If in fact the Republicans nominate Mr. Trump, then it's going to be an interesting fall season," he said. "I'm confident that ultimately the Democrat in that circumstance will win." Obama reflects on raid that killed bin Laden five years ago WASHIGNTON TIMES // DAVE BOYER On the fifth anniversary of the Special Forces raid that killed Osama bin Laden, President Obama reflected Monday that the mission was worth the risk because "I had confidence that I could get our guys back." In an interview with CNN conducted partly in the White House situation room, Mr. Obama outlined the choices he weighed prior to the 2011 raid that killed the al Qaeda leader at a walled residential compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. "After the discussions with the principals, it was clear to me that this was gonna be our best chance to get bin Laden," Mr. Obama said. Obama barnstorms on TV for stalled nominee Garland CNN // ANTHENA JONES The Senate may be in recess, but the White House and allied groups are working hard to keep the pressure on the chamber's Republicans to hold a hearing and a vote for the president's pick for the Supreme Court, Judge Merrick Garland. Obama appeared on several local TV stations Monday afternoon making the case for Garland. No surprise, they were in markets with vulnerable Senate Republicans who Democrats are trying to pressure to move on the nomination -- or pay a steep electoral price. In Milwaukee, Obama's target was Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, who has not yet sat down with Garland during the judge's meet-and-greet tour of the Senate. "What we're seeing is unprecedented which is the notion that you wouldn't meet with or provide a hearing or a vote for a nominee that everybody agrees is eminently qualified. I'm glad that Senator Johnson now has finally agreed to meet with him but he says he's not gonna give him a vote before the election and yet you haven't heard a good reason for it," Obama said on WISN. Biden's Iraq hopes crash with reality POLITICO // NAHAL TOOSI Vice President Joe Biden landed in Baghdad last week with his aides optimistically declaring that Iraq's political tumult had "trended in a more stabilizing direction." But the vice president's plane had barely left Iraqi airspace when the country's political divisions exploded, with hundreds of protesters storming into Baghdad's Green Zone, occupying the fortified area for much of the weekend to demand an end to government corruption. The developments threaten to distract from the fight against the Islamic State, which has grabbed vast swaths of Iraqi territory. At the same time, the situation underscores the limited influence U.S. officials - even one as deeply versed in Iraq as Biden - have over the politics of the country America invaded 13 years ago. Obama administration officials on Monday defended the optimistic overtures from Biden and his aides. They say the onus for resolving the political standoff between Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and his opponents should rest on the shoulders of Iraqis because any overt U.S. role could lead to a backlash. Syria conflict 'out of control' warns Kerry amid push to save truce BBC // BBC STAFF US Secretary of State John Kerry has said the Syrian conflict is "in many ways out of control", as he made a fresh push to salvage a fragile truce. After talks with UN and Arab diplomats in Geneva, he said progress had been made on a plan to reduce violence in the second city of Aleppo. However, he said more work was needed and there was no guarantee of success. A cessation of hostilities has reduced fighting in Syria's five-year civil war but has unravelled in recent days. About 250 people have reportedly been killed in Aleppo in the past nine days. On Monday, fresh government air strikes and artillery attacks on rebel-held districts and suburbs of Aleppo left at least three dead, according to activists. For Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, Divergent Paths to Iran Nuclear Talks NEW YORK TIMES // MARK LANDLER Early in 2011, after a hectic visit to Yemen, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton landed in the tranquil Arab sultanate of Oman. She was there to talk to Sultan Qaboos bin Said about an idea one of his envoys first pitched to the State Department in the spring of 2009: that Oman serve as a conduit for secret nuclear talks between the United States and Iran. Mrs. Clinton agreed to explore the proposal but was dubious that it would go anywhere. "Even under the best of circumstances," she wrote later, "this was a long shot." It would be 18 months before she took up the sultan on his offer and dispatched a team of diplomats to Oman to meet with the Iranians. Mrs. Clinton, however, was not the only prominent American making discreet trips to Oman in those days. Senator John F. Kerry, then the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and later her successor as secretary of state, was holding his own meetings with Sultan Qaboos and his trusted emissary, a businessman named Salem ben Nasser al-Ismaily. Is DOJ inadvertently creating "copyright trolls?" THE HILL // ANDREW LAGNER Since just prior to World War II, the primary collectives for the major music publishers - the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) and Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI) have operated under antitrust consent decrees with the Department of Justice (DoJ). These consent decrees allow ASCAP and BMI to operate as monopolists, but protect the marketplace from price manipulation. ASCAP and BMI along with their major publisher affiliates rightly understand that these consent decrees limit their ability to obtain monopoly prices for the use of music. And despite no change in market concentration and a continued history of anticompetitive behavior, ASCAP, BMI, and their major publishers are lobbying DoJ to ease the protections in the consent decrees. Any relaxation of the consent decrees would raise costs on any business that licenses music - from radio stations to retail stores to gyms to restaurants, and everyone in between. Democrats House Democrats Target Nine GOP Incumbents MORNING CONSULT // ELI YOKLEY The campaign arm for House Democrats on Monday unveiled its first advertising reservations for the fall campaign, targeting nine Republicans incumbents, defending two of their own and making their mark in three open-seat races. While the reservations are not set in stone, they do indicate some optimism by House Democrats as the GOP readies for the likely prospect of Donald Trump as their standard bearer in November. "There is little doubt that the size of the Democratic caucus will be larger next year - the only question is how much larger. This initial reservation shows we are going on offense in a big way," said Meredith Kelly, the national press secretary at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, in a statement. "Donald Trump continues to tear the Republican brand to shreds as he marches toward their nomination, and Republican incumbents will be dragged down by his trainwreck." Overnight Healthcare: First House Republican backs Obama Zika request THE HILL // SARAH FERRIS The first House Republican has backed President Obama's funding request to fight Zika just days after the country's first recorded death from the virus. Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) called on the White House and GOP leaders to end months of gridlock over the nearly $2 billion funding request, which has been flatly rejected by the vast majority of Republicans. Buchanan's support for the White House request comes after a Florida Republican, Sen. Marco Rubio, has already sounded the warning about the need for a robust Zika response. Another Florida Republican, Rep. Carlos Curbelo, also introduced a bill last week to immediately move all leftover funding from the U.S. Ebola virus response into the Zika response, though he didn't say he would support the full $1.9 billion. Gov. Jerry Brown: 'Something strange' is fueling the rise of Donald Trump LOS ANGELES TIMES // JOHN MEYERS Gov. Jerry Brown called Donald Trump's presidential campaign "a phenomenon worth examining" on Monday, but took a pass at offering any direct comment about the either the tone or the tenor of Trump's two-day campaign swing through California. Brown made the comments during a question-and-answer period after an event on fire prevention awareness at a Cal Fire facility near Sacramento. Asked about Trump's campaign, the governor labeled it as "something strange." "I think people are upset. Wherever you look, there's a lot of climate of discontent," he said. Republicans Default at hand, Congress faces new pressure to act on Puerto Rico WASHINGTON POST // MIKE DEBONIS Hours before Puerto Rico missed hundreds of millions of dollars of bond payments, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Monday issued a new and urgent call for Congress to pass legislation allowing the territory to restructure the $72 billion it owes to creditors. In a letter to House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.), Lew connected the island's fiscal crisis to the mosquito-borne Zika virus, which has spread through the Caribbean and was recently confirmed to have claimed its first life on U.S. soil - a 70-year-old Puerto Rican man who died in February from a bleeding disorder linked to Zika. "This is not just a matter of financial liabilities and litigation," Lew wrote. "Hospitals continue to lay off workers, ration medication, reduce services, and close floors. Moreover, despite the intensifying threat from the Zika virus, financial constraints have made it extremely difficult to counteract. Unsealed septic tanks, abandoned homes, cemeteries, and piles of old tires, where mosquito larvae grow, for example, must all be treated, but the government is struggling to pay for the work to be done." Time running out as Puerto Rico's default picks up steam POLITICO // RACHEL BADE When Puerto Rico took its first major step toward a catastrophic default on Monday, lawmakers on Capitol Hill - where Puerto Rican officials looked for help - were nowhere to be found, having gone home for a one week recess last Friday. The island began defaulting on most of a $422 million debt payment Sunday at midnight, but much bigger problems are just around the corner. Congress has just a handful of weeks to hammer out a legislative fix to save the island from financial ruin ahead of a second default on a $2 billion debt payment due in early July. But while GOP congressional staff is working through the break to sketch out a Plan B - with an eye towards unveiling it around May 10 - getting a fix off the ground before July could be a major lift: House GOP leadership will have to convince enough conservatives to back a bill that's been labeled a "bailout" by some. Democrats, too, will likely have to whip their own to back the deal - which could include provisions they don't like, perhaps even a minimum wage cut for the territory. Two GOP House Members Battle for Senate Nomination in Indiana WALL STREET JOURNAL // SIOBHAN HUGHES Republicans in Indiana will choose between two House members in a U.S. Senate primary Tuesday that will determine whether a tea party-aligned lawmaker or more establishment figure will vie in November for the seat of retiring GOP Sen. Dan Coats. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) and other establishment forces are backing Rep. Todd Young. They also want to prevent a repeat of four years ago, when a tea-party Republican defeated Sen. Richard Lugar (R., Ind.) in a high-profile primary, then lost to Democrat Joe Donnelly in the general election. Mr. Young joined 86 Republicans who bucked the majority of their House GOP colleagues and joined Democrats in voting to end the October, 2013 government shutdown. 2016 Democrats Clinton allies fume over Sanders's vow to fight on THE HILL // JONATHAN EASELY Hillary Clinton's allies are fuming over Bernie Sanders's vow to take the presidential nominating contest to a floor fight at the Democratic convention this summer. Many Democrats believe Clinton effectively clinched the nomination after a string of victories across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic gave her what looks to be an insurmountable lead in delegates. But rather than rein in his efforts, Sanders has declared that he's playing to win, even if he's trailing badly in delegates after the last votes are cast in the final primary contests next month. The Vermont senator says he plans to campaign and lobby superdelegates to support him over Clinton all the way through the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this July. Clinton outraises Sanders for first time in months WASHINGTON POST // ANNE GEARAN Hillary Clinton brought in more campaign cash in April than rival Sen. Bernie Sanders, the first time in months that the Democratic front-runner has bested Sanders and his juggernaut of fervent supporters willing to donate over and over. Clinton's campaign said Monday it raised about $26.4 million in donations for the primary. Sanders's campaign said Sunday that it brought in $25.8 million in April. Clinton's success in April was due more to a dramatic drop-off in Sanders's donations rather than a big spike in hers. Sanders had brought in about $44 million a month in February and March; Clinton's haul for March was about $27 million. The drop-off for Sanders coincides with the narrowing of his chances to defeat Clinton, who remains far ahead of him in overall votes and delegates. Clinton has won six of the last seven state contests, including the two biggest prizes on the calendar in April - New York and Pennsylvania. Clinton cleans up coal comments POLITICO // NOLAN MCCASKILL Hillary Clinton pledged to fight for coal miners Monday as she insisted that her comment last month about putting coal miners out of business was taken out of context. "I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country because we're gonna put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business," Clinton said last month during a Democratic town hall event hosted by CNN. Speaking to retired mine workers Monday in Williamson, West Virginia, the former secretary of state sought to explain that her remark was "totally taken out of context" from what she meant, pointing to her record and a policy she laid out last summer as evidence that she's been supportive of helping coal country. "It was a misstatement because what I was saying is that the way things are going now, we will continue to lose jobs. That's what I meant to say, and I think that that seems to be supported by the facts," Clinton said. "I didn't mean that we were going to do it. What I said was that is going to happen unless we take action to try to help and prevent it." Hillary Clinton Hears Wrath of Coal Supporters in West Virginia NEW YORK TIMES // AMY CHOZICK Hillary Clinton came to campaign in coal country - and she had her feet held to the fire. As Mrs. Clinton stepped onto the sidewalk on Monday to tour a health and wellness center here, a crowd of protesters stood in the rain, many of them holding signs supporting the leading Republican candidate, Donald J. Trump, and chanted, "Go home!" Later, when Mrs. Clinton sat down with residents to discuss health care and other issues affecting the community and coal miners in particular, the chants of the protesters outside could still be heard. "No matter what they might be saying out there, they have a friend," Senator Joe Manchin III, who accompanied Mrs. Clinton, told the panel participants. But not everyone was buying it. "Supporting her hurts you," Bo Copley, a 39-year-old father who tearfully explained that he had lost his job in the coal industry and who struggled to support his family, pointedly told Mr. Manchin. Clinton Feels Heat in Coal Country ROLL CALL // NIELS LESNIEWSKI The steel mill here shut down recently, costing 600 jobs, as China dumps cheaper steel on the market. The coal mines have been slowing down production for years as renewable energy gains traction. And Democrats who used to win elections in this patch of Appalachia are losing to Republicans. So when Hillary Clinton arrived here Monday for an event at a local restaurant, she drew protesters. "Coal and steel are the lifeblood here," said Jose Gonzalez, one of the first to arrive. "It kills me that people from this area are like, 'Yeah, Hillary.'" He was part of a small group of protesters waving signs. They included people who had lost jobs as part of the effects of the downturn in the state's coal industry. How Bernie changed Hillary POLITICO // ANNIE KARNI No candidate ever wants a tough primary challenge - and Hillary Clinton has found the mass appeal of a self-described socialist particularly irksome. But as she shifts her gaze toward the general election and Donald Trump, Clinton may have actually learned some lessons from Bernie Sanders . On the eve of the Indiana primary, Clinton was touring Appalachia, making an appeal to voters who have been energized by the anti-trade message of both Sanders and Trump. Sanders' focus on deep economic discontent, inequality and a political system dominated by big money helped inform and polish her response. "Talk about a ripple effect. It's just devastating communities," Clinton told steel workers at an Italian restaurant in Ashland, Kentucky. Sanders seeks to end his free fall POLITICO // DANIEL STRAUSS Indiana won't have a dramatic effect on Bernie Sanders' fortunes - win or lose, he's said he's fighting on through the convention. But a win Tuesday would be a much-needed respite from a week of headlines suggesting his campaign is sputtering and his path to the nomination is all but gone. First came news of hundreds of staff layoffs. Then came word that his April fundraising had declined considerably compared to March - his haul dropped from $44 million to $26 million. The Northeastern primaries were unkind to him as well: Hillary Clinton won four of five states last week. Story Continued Below This week, though, all evidence points to a nail-biter in Tuesday's only primary. Sanders has barnstormed the Indiana college campus circuit. Clinton has worked the state's biggest cities, hoping to lock down the African-American vote. She's got strong support from the state's top Democrats, but Sanders has an ace-in-the-hole: Indiana's open primary format, which voters don't need to be Democrats to participate in the Democratic primary. Open primaries are where Sanders shines: They helped grease his path to victory in Midwestern wins in Michigan and Wisconsin. "It's close," said former Indiana Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh, a top Clinton surrogate. 2016 Republicans Ted Cruz Desperately Seeks to Stop Donald Trump in Indiana ASSOCIATED PRESS // JULIE PACE AND SCOTT BAUER Republican Ted Cruz faces a high-stakes test for his slumping presidential campaign in Tuesday's Indiana primary, one of the last opportunities for the Texas senator to halt Donald Trump's stunning march toward the GOP nomination. Cruz has spent the past week camped out in Indiana, securing the support of the state's governor and announcing retired technology executive Carly Fiorina as his running mate. Yet his aides were pessimistic heading into Tuesday's voting and were prepared for Cruz to fall short, though the senator vowed to stay in the race, regardless of the results. "I am in for the distance, as long as we have a viable path to victory," Cruz told reporters on Monday during a campaign stop. The Republican-big business alliance is fraying. Now what? VOX // LEE DRUTMAN For a long time, the Republicans have been the party of big business. But for the last several years, that relationship has grown more and more strained. This strain is about far more than major companies pulling out of the 2016 GOP convention. It's about the way in which the GOP-big business consensus is now being powerfully squeezed by two separate factions within the party: one ultra-conservative, one populist. After four decades of unusual success, the old corporate-Republican alliance looks increasingly weak. On the ultra-conservative front, a growing movement in and around the House Freedom Caucus has increasingly used the banner of "crony capitalism" to oppose more and more of the mainstream business, Chamber of Commerce agenda. These extremists (who have included Ted Cruz) continue to demand ever-greater government spending cuts. They are willing to hold the debt ceiling hostage. Trump sees a decisive Indiana victory at hand, gears up to take on Clinton WASHINGTON POST // PHILLIP RUCKER This was supposed to be the pragmatic Midwestern state that would deny Donald Trump the delegates he needs to secure the Republican presidential nomination. Yet on the eve of Tuesday's critical primary, Indiana appeared poised to help the front-runner get closer to locking it up. Trump campaigned Monday across the Hoosier State with characteristic gusto, boasting about his polling lead and endorsements from local celebrities and relishing a fight with likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Certain that victory was at hand, Trump predicted Tuesday's balloting would bring the demise of top rival Ted Cruz. From here, he said, it is on to the general election. "If we win Indiana, it's over," Trump declared at a boisterous Monday afternoon rally in Carmel. "They're finished. They're gone." The Indiana primary, with 57 delegates at stake, stands in the minds of many Republicans as the last major hurdle for Trump to clear. Cruz and his allies have poured every resource and maneuver at their disposal into the state in an urgent, last-ditch effort to derail the controversial billionaire mogul. New polls continue to undercut the effort to stop a Donald Trump nomination WASHINGTON POST // PHILIP BUMP There are two things that Donald Trump's opponents need to do to keep him from getting the Republican presidential nomination. The first is that they need to block him from getting 1,237 pledged delegates by the time voting wraps up in early June. The second is that they need to get people used to the idea that a guy could walk into the convention with the most delegates and the most votes and walk out a very angry non-politician real estate magnate. Both of those efforts are going badly. A new poll from CNN makes clear the challenge Trump opponents face on that second point. Ninety-one percent of Republicans think that Trump will be the nominee, and more people say they would be dissatisfied or upset with Ted Cruz or John Kasich winning the nomination than say the same about Trump. What's more, Trump is the preferred second choice of 43 percent of those currently backing Cruz or Kasich. So people think he'll win, more people will be more frustrated if he doesn't than if he does, and he has got a broader base of support. Ted Cruz Stays Positive Despite Grim Numbers in Indiana NEW YORK TIMES // THOMAS KAPLAN It almost resembled Iowa, if you squinted. Senator Ted Cruz expressed gratitude for the "common-sense good judgment" of Midwesterners. His stump speech had scarcely changed, from a favorite anecdote about a drawling West Texas farmer to a running countdown of the time remaining before the primary. ("Fifty-one hours," he said sternly.) He drew a crowd of several hundred at a faith-based community center here, whose cheers at times coaxed the Texas senator to guttural shouts. One woman held a sign: "Pray'n For Ted." "The eyes of the entire country," Mr. Cruz said, "now rest on Indiana." Yet two days before what is widely viewed as a must-win primary, Mr. Cruz strained to conceal a grim reality: He is in serious trouble. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll released on Sunday showed Donald J. Trump with a lead of 15 points among likely Republican primary voters, 49 percent to 34 percent. Cruz confronts Trump supporter THE HILL // BEN KASIMAR Ted Cruz on Monday faced off against Donald Trump supporters who crashed an event in Indiana, where the GOP hopeful is desperately working to upset the front-runner and keep his White House dreams alive. Protestors started chanting "Do the math" during Cruz's stop in Marion, Ind., prompting the Texas senator to walk up to to a demonstrator holding a Trump campaign sign. The man, who refused to give his name to reporters but said he had come from Ohio, interrupted Cruz and repeatedly called him "Lyin' Ted," Trump's favorite nickname for his rival. This is what it looks like when the campaign comes to California LOS ANGELES TIMES // CHRISTINA BELLATONI It was supposed to be a snoozer of a state party convention. Then the presidential race came to California. And the events in Burlingame Friday through Sunday gave a little taste of what the next five weeks could be like on the Republican side. It started Friday when Donald Trump attracted angry protesters who forced him to traipse through a field to get into the convention site, then dismissed them during his brief speech to California Republican activists. He declared the race was close to over. "I think it's going to come to an end very soon," Trump said. "And really, I'm speaking to the people in this room, because there has to be unity in our party." Sen. Ted Cruz went after Trump for donating to Democrats, and his new running mate Carly Fiorina offered a feisty stump speech to delegates Saturday night, taking sharp jabs at Trump and those who oppose Cruz. California Prepares for Long-Denied Star Turn in Presidential Race NEW YORK TIMES // ADAM NAGOURNEY This is the most populous state in the nation, but in presidential elections, it has almost always found itself on the sidelines. The last time a Republican primary in California mattered was 52 years ago, when the party nominated Barry Goldwater. But California will finally play an important role in the drama of presidential politics. The 172 Republican delegates up for grabs in the state's June 7 primary, which in most years has taken place well after the party's presidential standard-bearer was known, will determine whether Donald J. Trump can clinch the nomination on the last day of voting and avoid having to wrangle uncommitted delegates at the national convention in July. All three Republican presidential candidates, along with hundreds of reporters, turned up for the party's state convention here over the weekend, the biggest show in memory of presidential candidate firepower at this yearly gathering. Editorials/Op-Eds Bernie Sanders's Gift to His Party NEW YORK TIMES // EDITORIAL BOARD Though some opinion polls on Tuesday's primary in Indiana show Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in a tight race , the plunge in Mr. Sanders's latest fund-raising numbers makes clear what he doesn't yet want to say. His campaign - for the presidency, anyway - is most likely nearing its end. "We intend to fight for every vote and delegate remaining," Mr. Sanders said in Washington on Sunday. While he continues to infuriate the Clinton campaign by battling for Mrs. Clinton's superdelegates , his tone suggests that he's no longer in it to win. He's fighting to ensure that all his supporters get a chance to cast a ballot during the primary season ending in June, and most of all, that Democratic leaders pay attention to their views. The Democratic Party and Mrs. Clinton are better off for Mr. Sanders's presence in this race. His criticism, as Winston Churchill might say, was not agreeable. But it called necessary attention to unhealthy developments in the Democratic Party, including its at-times obliviousness to the lingering economic pain of the middle class and the young, and its drift toward political caution over aspiration. President Obama: The TPP would let America, not China, lead the way on global trade WASHINGTON POST // PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA Over the past six years, America's businesses have created more than 14 million new jobs. To keep this progress going, we need to pursue every avenue of economic growth. Today, some of our greatest economic opportunities abroad are in the Asia-Pacific region, which is on its way to becoming the most populous and lucrative market on the planet. Increasing trade in this area of the world would be a boon to American businesses and American workers, and it would give us a leg up on our economic competitors, including one we hear a lot about on the campaign trail these days: China. Of course, China's greatest economic opportunities also lie in its own neighborhood, which is why China is not wasting any time. As we speak, China is negotiating a trade deal that would carve up some of the fastest-growing markets in the world at our expense, putting American jobs, businesses and goods at risk. Joe Biden Didn't Lose Iraq FOREIGN POLICY // JAMES JEFFERY The sudden trip of Vice President Joe Biden to Iraq this weekend - his first to Baghdad since U.S. troops left in late 2011 - was rudely upstaged by the storming of the Green Zone by angry protesters on Sunday, just after the veep had decamped to Erbil. But while the optics looked ugly, the trip - and focus on righting the ship in Iraq - has long been central to Biden. Since the first days of the Obama White House, Biden has been the president's point man for what may be the administration's toughest portfolio. President Barack Obama ran on a "get out of Iraq" ticket in 2007, although he tried after a fashion three years later to keep some forces on, and now has ordered 5,000 back to support operations against the Islamic State. In all of this, Biden's role has been central. This should not surprise, given his energy, his family relationship to Iraq (where his son served), his vote for the invasion in 2002, and his close focus on events there as Senate Foreign Relations chair. But this long history is not without controversy. For example, in 2006, he authored with Les Gelb, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, a plan, dead-on-arrival in Baghdad, for a soft petition of the country into Sunni Arab, Kurdish, and Shiite Arab cantons. That year, he also leaned toward a rapid withdrawal of U.S. forces - before the surge reduced violence and, of course, before he was tapped as Obama's No. 2. Will Hoosiers save Ted Cruz? CHICAGO TRIBUNE // EDITORIAL BOARD In the second round of the NCAA men's basketball tournament a few weeks ago, Texas A&M was in a hopeless spot, trailing Northern Iowa by 12 points with just 44 seconds remaining. Everyone knew A&M was done for. But the Aggies staged a stunning rally, sending the game into overtime, where they came out on top. Fans - particularly those in Iowa - learned then that victory can be elusive even when it looks certain. Ted Cruz, who like the Aggies is from Texas, needs a dramatic surprise to have a real chance of winning the Republican nomination for president. But at least until Indiana votes on Tuesday, it's too early to assume Donald Trump has the nomination wrapped up. Plenty of observers, of course, are eager to pronounce him the GOP winner so they can get on to obsessing about the general election. Trump himself, with a comfortable lead in the Indiana polls, shares that impulse.

Re-upping this From: Wei, Shu-Yen Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2016 11:41 AM To: Paustenbach, Mark; Miranda, Luis; Walker, Eric; Walsh, Tom Subject: RE: For Comms Approval: Talking points for NJ teacher press call Still working on getting a third speaker, updated NJ teachers script, plus a third set below (I'm really trying to get a woman as the third person) Assemblyman Diegnan Hi everyone and thank you for joining the call. This is Assemblyman Pat Diegnan, and I serve as the Chair of the Education Committee. It has certainly been a busy week in Trenton and nationally as well, with Donald Trump spouting another conspiracy theory and all but certain to secure the Republican nomination, Ted Cruz dropping out, and our governor generating buzz as a possible Trump vice presidential pick. During this Teacher Appreciation Week, we wanted to take this opportunity to highlight the Republican record on education locally and at the national level. Governor Christie's behavior toward teachers and public employees for the past six years has been disgraceful. Over and over again, he has tried to devalue the teaching profession and squeeze those who work so hard to shape our children's future. He actually suggested last year that teachers should be making minimum wage , after he vetoed and stood against minimum wage increases. And he is supporting and actively campaigning for Donald Trump, who is similarly destructive. Trump has said that he would reduce union power and has vowed to cut the Department of Education. How is that for investing in New Jersey's future? And our state has resoundingly rejected these wrong-headed policies, Governor Christie's approval ratings have plummeted to 26 percent since he endorsed Trump. These issues haven't gotten much attention because of the GOP's numerous, other outrageous comments. The Republican party agenda is so extreme that those backward education proposals are the standard now. As New Jersey has wrestled with the consequences of Governor Christie's actions and hostility, we cannot allow his policies to spread across the country at the prospect of a Republican president. Now, I would like to introduce someone who has always been a champion of educators, NJEA President Wendell Steinhauer. Wendell Steinhauer Hi everyone, and thank you Assemblyman. As some of you may know, I taught in the Riverside public schools for 27 years. In my time at the NJEA, I've seen first-hand Chris Christie at work. This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and Governor Christie has been anything but appreciative of teachers and our work his entire tenure in office. We all remember when he slashed the state education aid by more than $1 billion in his first year in office, leading to thousands of layoffs. Or when he made reneged on his promise to fund public employee pensions, despite his promise to do so at the negotiation table. Or when he suggested violence against teachers and teachers unions; he has made multiple references to punching us. It is certainly no surprise to us that Chris Christie is supporting Donald Trump for President, they are two peas in pod. But when it comes to teachers, we cannot allow what Governor Christie has done to New Jersey to spread to the rest of the country, especially now that Trump is the standard bearer of the Republican party. Trump is on record for saying that he would cut the Department of Education and that he would reduce the power of the teachers' unions. We simply can't imagine what would happen under this Republican president, where Governor Christie's dangerous ideas and policies would surely be allowed to spread nationally. We are calling out these dangerous ideas and gross misconceptions and asking voters to take a stand against them. Thank you. I would like to now turn it over to [3rd speaker] Speaker #3 Thank you XXXX, and as mentioned, I am XXXX. Before Donald Trump was even thinking about running for President, Chris Christie was writing the book on squeezing teachers and hurting working families here in New Jersey. Just this week, he vetoed an equal pay bill that would have helped women breadwinners in our state. I couldn't believe it he suggested that teachers should be making minimum wage last year. And let's face it, the teaching profession is a woman-dominated one and issues around equal pay and the minimum wage affect working women and their families. So when Governor Christie says those horrible things about teachers and suggests inflicting violence on teachers' unions, he is targeting a lot of New Jersey women. At the national level, Trump and the rest of the Republican Party share those values. With Trump as the face of the Republican party, we expect to hear a lot more divisive, wrong-headed rhetoric, and unfortunately, more hostility toward educators. Trump and Christie are cut from the same cloth. New Jersey is well aware of Christie's bullying tactics, reneging on promises made at the negotiation table, slashing funding for state education. And all indicators suggest that Trump will be worse on the national level. Thank you.

Trump Asks His Son-in-Law, Jared Kushner, to Plan for a Transition Team Donald J. Trump has asked his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to begin quietly working to put together a blueprint for his transition team should he win the White House in November. Mr. Kushner, the husband of Mr. Trump's daughter, Ivanka, will work with Corey Lewandowski, the Trump campaign manager, and Paul Manafort, a senior adviser, to set up a prospective transition team and determine who its most important members should be. But Mr. Kushner is not expected to be involved if and when such a transition occurs, according to two people briefed on his new assignment. "The campaign will likely be announcing transition team leadership in the coming weeks," said Hope Hicks, a Trump spokeswoman. Mr. Kushner, 35, is the publisher of The New York Observer and heads his family's real estate development company, Kushner Properties. He and Mr. Trump have a close relationship and are often in contact, talking informally about the campaign. And Mr. Kushner, aided by The Observer's editor, Ken Kurson, wrote a closely watched speech Mr. Trump delivered to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in March. On Tuesday, after Mr. Trump won the Indiana primary and emerged as his party's presumptive nominee, he praised Mr. Kushner, who was standing beside him. "Honestly, Jared is a very successful real estate person but I actually think he likes politics more than he likes real estate," Mr. Trump said, as his daughter broke out laughing. "But he's very good at politics." -- Nathan Kauffman DNC Research Associate 574-849-4726

Crew, If you're not familiar with the term "stigma", clear it up. You're going to be hearing a lot more of it. It means "A mark of shame or discredit" and it has several other meanings found in a good dictionary. The psychs are using this term as a trick to get more people to accept their labeling and drugs. The way they use it is very deceptive and suppressive. Psych groups talk about erasing "stigma" from mental illness, so it's "ok" to admit that you have a permanent, incurable brain disease. Of course it isn't true that they have a brain disease; it's a scam. The way they use it is a little closer to one of its other dictionary meanings: "A mark burned into the skin of a criminal or slave; a brand". The psychs totally created the stigma by claiming that unwanted feelings and behaviors are indications of "mental illness". Now they want it to be hidden, so that more people will willingly become psych slaves. Without psychiatry, such conditions would be considered "life" and someone who suffered those symptoms would seek out viable solutions like true medical care, nutrition, detox, and increased spiritual awareness. But the psychs don't want that. The psychs want everyone to accept their marketing line that all these behaviors and feelings indicate "mental diseases" and the only hope is a psych pill, electric shock through the brain, etc. Now, the assignment: 1. Read this article: n/Mental.Illness.Is.Nothing.To.Be.Ashamed.Of-1923243.shtml?norewrite20060510 0716&sourcedomain=www.thespartandaily.com (text at bottom) 2. Write a letter to the editor by clicking: You can write anything you want. 3. Report compliance by email. Best, Doyle ________________________ ARTICLE TEXT: Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of Erin Out the Details By Erin Caballero Date: 5/9/06 Section: Opinion For this entire semester, I have been debating with myself as to whether I should write this particular column - opening up like this could potentially lead to ridicule, contempt and scorn from colleagues, professors and peers. It could ruin my journalism career, because future employers may automatically assume that I'm too unstable and too much of a liability to be considered for employment. What makes the information so damning, you ask? The information is this: I have rapid-cycling bipolar disorder, a mental disorder in which I go from being manic, or "high," one week to being severely depressed, or "low," the next. Ever since I was about 16 or 17, I rapidly went from being so manic that I barely slept and ate to being so depressed that I could hardly get out of bed. In 2004, I finally got the answer to what was causing my extreme mood swings, uncontrolled spending sprees, crazy behavior and paranoid delusions. When the psychiatrist told my mother this, she cried and cried until she could cry no more, and that's when I found out my life would never be the same again. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 2.3 million Americans have some form of bipolar disorder. And I'll bet the pocket change in my bank account that all of these people often feel the same shame and fear that I do. It's the fear and shame of telling your employer - what if he or she fires me or treats me as if I have the plague? True, there is legal protection, but at the end of the day, the words "at-will employment" really means that your boss can fire you for whatever reason they like. It's also the fear and shame of telling your colleagues, your significant other, your date, your friends and family - what if they reject me? It's also the fear and shame of living in fear and shame. To make people feel as if they have to be ashamed of something as treatable as mental illness, is disgusting. There is a real stigma towards people who have not only bipolar disorder, but any other form of mental illness. Is it that much different than having diabetes or being in a wheelchair? There are fundraisers, public announcements on TV and cool bracelets for every other ailment known to humanity. It seems the only thing the mentally ill receive in terms of public awareness is the perfunctory ad for a new pharmaceutical concoction in Good Housekeeping. Who will march on Washington, D.C., for me? Where's my bracelet? It doesn't help when dimwit celebrities like Scientology megaphone Tom Cruise rail against psychiatry, especially when telling fellow celebrity Brooke Shields to just take some vitamins and exercise for the post-partum depression she suffered from. Brooke Shields suffered a bout of post-partum depression when she gave birth to daughter Rowan, the experience that was the basis of her book, "Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Post-Partum Depression." Brooke, honey, do me a favor and tell Tom where to stick those vitamins. Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of - it doesn't lessen someone as a human being. In fact, so many of history's brightest minds were chemically imbalanced: John Forbes Nash Jr. (paranoid schizophrenia), Ludwig Beethoven (bipolar disorder), Sylvia Plath (clinical depression), and many, many more. However, that didn't stop them from contributing so much to society. Perhaps it is the madness that makes people like that push through, pull through and ultimately break through the stigma and the barriers to achieve the thought-to-be unachievable, sometimes even to know the unknowable. To see a psychiatrist or counselor isn't a sign of weakness - it is a sign of strength. It means that you refuse to let mental illness control your life. We always hear the stories about people who seem to let mental illness "drag them away" from reality into a long, dark night of insanity and despair. We always hear the lurid stories of mental illness in the news, of crazy people snapping, people like "Unabomber" Theodore Kaczynski. However, we never hear about the people who fight back, the ones who seek the proper treatment and change the world. Imagine if every mentally ill person in America received the proper care and treatment - we would be that much stronger as a society and as a nation. Who knows - that schizophrenic kid bagging your groceries might be the next famous actor or video game designer. I wrung my hands and cried myself to sleep for far too long, feeling like I had some horrible secret to keep. Now I know better: I have nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to hide. We need to erase the stigma of mental illness, because to do so will allow so many who suffer needlessly to emerge from that long, dark night of despair and insanity into the beautiful daybreak of hope and well-being.
