Windows 8 App Store Now Has 35,000 Apps
Posted: December 29, 2012
The Microsoft Windows 8 app store has only been on our radar since October 30 but already it has racked up 35,000 different applications.
According to tracking website MetroStore Scanner, the Windows 8 app platform has added 14,57 apps in the past 35 days. The Windows 8 app ecosystem now features 35,167 desktop based applications.
While 35,167 apps are available for Windows 8 only 22,000 are available in the US.
Microsoft?s new platform still lags far behind Google Android?s Play Store or the Apple iOS? App Store, however it is adding 415 apps per day.
At current growth rates the Windows 8 app store should reach 50,000 programs by February 1.
The app store debuted with 10,000 apps on October 30 but quickly added 3,000 more apps during the first week of release.
While 50,000 apps is nothing to balk at, that number is still far below the 100,000 mark that Microsoft?s sales and marketing vice president originally said the company was aiming for upon release.
Microsoft also predicted that it would sell 400 million Windows 8 devices by July, should sales pick up and that number be met the company?s goals of 100,000 apps could occur sooner rather than later.
The mobile market for devices has continued to cannibalize desktop and traditional notebook sales and ultrabooks with their ultra-high pricing have failed to buoy much of the mobile tech sector. Should tablets and smartphones continue to further erode away at traditional computing we could see Microsoft struggling to reach 100,000 apps.
Do you think Microsoft is doing a good job in promoting the Windows 8 app ecosystem or have mobile developers already done enough damage?

PJ Carlesimo discusses his "leverage and credibility" compared to a more established coach
Part of the reason Avery Johnson felt things went sour with the Nets is because Mikhail Prokhorov refused to give him a contract extension, leaving him as a lameduck coach who had no leverage or respect from the players.
P.J. Carlesimo, of course, is in a more tenuous situation as with an interim tag. He admitted before Saturday's victory over the Cavaliers that the lack of stability is an issue, and that a coach such as Phil Jackson would have more "credibility." His comments are worth a read:
"I think very few coaches in this league have the ? I don?t know what word I?m thinking of ? it?s kind of power. I?ll think of it. We got to the point at Seton Hall that I had it; the players knew that I was going to be there no matter what. Pop has that. Phil had it. There are very few guys in the league that have it. If you don?t have that, which very, very few do, it?s infinitely better to have many years on your contract, and hopefully at a good number, because that doesmake you a more efficient coach, no question. At this point, if Phil (Jackson) were coaching, or (Jerry) Sloan when he was in Utah or (Gregg Popovich), they have more credibility and leverage with the players? than I do.
"And honestly, it?s not a concern now. This is just the situation and you?ve got to deal with. I just think for any coach ? I?ve been in that situation in other places ? you just really do not want to go into the last year of your contract ever. There is no coach that can say he wants to do that. Maybe Scottie (Brooks), after you win Coach of the Year and you?ve got one year left and they?re not writing a big enough check. But for the most part, no, you don?t want to go into the last year of your contract ever in this league. But coaches don?t have with very very very very few exceptions the leverage that a player has, because there?s more zeros on their contract than there are on their contract."

Methods To Accelerate Your MLM Results | Jim McGilvary's Home ...
Mistakes Are Costing You! Learn To Stop?Making ALL 189 Of Them!
Struggling With WordPress? 100+ Step-By-Step Videos Now Available!
Beware of misleading information available on the internet, and find a reputable source of information. This article outlines a number of useful tips that can benefit your MLM strategy and allow you to meet your goals.
Research and apply the best methods for finding new clients. Your network marketing goal is to get new leads and customers. Think of your family and friends as a limited circle, so you need to look outside of this. Bringing in outside clients opens the door to many more opportunities.
Positively encourage participation and communication with people in your down line. Perhaps these people are not feeling welcome enough to speak up. Is there a problem they?re afraid to talk about? Encourage them to come to you with questions and to get to know other members of the network. The best teams are ones where each member participates.
TIP! Make all of your marketing value-oriented. Place this value to others at the forefront when building your network.
A tutorial setup is a great structure for your network marketing website. Teaching viewers how to do something has long been a good way to increase readership, as well as to increase the time that visitors remain on your website. These suggestions will help you find new connections for your network, and it will bring you more profits.
A website, even something as simple as social networking, is a great way to start MLM. Posting a lively, interactive blog that is updated often will frequently draw lots of visitors. In addition, establishing your own website and social media presence will be a great springboard for your marketing efforts. Think of the internet as a community you have to establish a presence in. Use each site to reach out to a certain audience: a blog will help you get in touch with other blogers while a social network profile is great to stay in touch with customers who use a Facebook app on their mobile for instance.
Make specific short-term goals to achieve long-term success. You will probably have a long-range goal in mind for your business, perhaps three or five years out. However, with smaller goals as your focus immediately, you can build a foundation for these larger goals. By doing so, you can focus on the details of your marketing operations, which will lay the framework for the larger picture.
TIP! Whatever success you see being achieved around you, seek to copy it. Check out how the leaders in network marketing have been organizing their efforts for inspiration.
Before you begin a multilevel marketing campaign, you should decide what your budget is, and how tightly it should be stuck to. This is extremely important, not only to ensure that you do not dry up your resources, but also to be sure that you are putting enough money into furthering your business. Having a budget will help you to better understand your expenses, and give you guidelines to work from.
Quality is far more important than quantity when it comes to MLM. You require recruits who are committed to working hard in growing their own downlines, which will result in more profits for you and themselves.
Like any business endeavor, you need to be constantly learning and growing your knowledge base of multi-level marketing strategies. You should spend a part of your time daily reading books by experts on topics like home business or social media. Web seminars run by successful marketers can teach you a lot, so try to make time to attend some. At a certain point, you can then pass your knowledge on to others as well.
TIP! It is a natural human tendency to enjoy talking about oneself. Use this to your advantage by allowing your customers to talk to you about themselves.
Don?t cut corners when you are in the field of multi-level marketing, as this will lead to disaster further down the road. While there may be times when you want to do things in a half-hearted way, you must realize that only through diligence and commitment will you create a winning marketing strategy. You will get out of multi-level marketing what you put into it.
With a good product to sell and a firm grasp of the advice you?ve just read about, building an effective network marketing business of your own should be a snap. Applying these tips will guarantee your success.
TIP! True leaders in network marketing are those individuals who enjoy helping others. Once you become a network marketing guru and start to give back to the field, you will be surprised to see your own personal profits start to rise.

Tips To Keep You On Top With Commercial Real Estate - Maynas Eric
Establishing oneself in the market for commercial real estate need not be a major challenge. However, you need certain pieces of knowledge prior to starting towards any property. This article is packed with useful guidelines and insight that should facilitate a more thorough understanding of the commercial real estate market.
When you are setting up your home office or commercial property for selling purposes, consider the Asian art of feng shui. Spaces that allow energy to flow freely, without obstacles, also appeal to buyers.
Find a good attorney who will help you through every step of your commercial transaction. Make sure you keep your name clear of all threats if you happen to have anything go sour with any real estate endeavors you have set forth for yourself.
TIP! When making decisions between one commercial property and another, think big. If you will be financing the purchase, you should take into account that doing so will require just as much time and effort for a small lot as it will for a larger lot.
Before placing an offer on any commercial property, first find a lender. Research the interest costs and satisfaction ratings for lenders in your town. Do some research, and select the one that can help you reach your goals prior to purchasing the property. If you take some time to organize your paperwork, then it will be much easier to get that loan approved.
Real Estate
If you are under a lease for commercial real estate, be wary of standard lease forms. Big real estate companies will sometimes slip additional covenants or requirements into the lease document, which can at times be very long. If you read the lease with care, it can help you from having a horrible experience.
TIP! Make sure you know how the firm that you are working with measures their results. Find out what they mean when they say a property has enough space, that a negotiation went well or other critical factors used in assessing and acquiring commercial property.
Clarify how much space is available in square footage. A commercial property?s square footage can be measured two different ways. The first way is usable square footage which is the amount of square footage that can be used for business purposes. The other is total square feet which includes all square footage including square footage that cannot be currently used. Get both measurements so you have a solid understanding of the size of the property.
Whether buying or selling, negotiate. Ensure that your opinion is known, and wrangle for the best price you can get on the property.
Investors of commercial real estate should be sure to be conscious that drastic inflation is a real possibility in the near future and shouldn?t overlook it when thinking about buying. In the past, many leases had built-in clauses that made adjustments according to the Consumer Price Index, which protected signers from inflation. This protection is rarely available today, so signers are more less protected to losses due to inflation.
TIP! One way to do this is to use the internet. Either send out a monthly commercial real estate newsletter, or be active on social media related to commercial real estate.
When purchasing property, look at the amount of units available. More units equal greater opportunity to earn more money. A lot of buyers won?t give a first glance to properties with nine or less units, and most buyers assume that more units equates to more money making potential.
Use a digital camera to take pictures. The picture needs to show defects like carpet spots, wall holes, or discolored sinks and tubs.
Know that you need to charge the proper amount of rent so as to make money on your investment. You should know exactly what you?ll be charging for rent before you speak with any possible tenants. This will keep you from straying from your overall business plan, ensuring an increased chance for future success in regard to your investment.
TIP! Keep in mind that a property will only last so long. You have the potential of making a huge mistake by ignoring the fact that you might have to spend money in order to maintain the property.
Know that there are many different kinds of brokers when it comes to commercial real estate. Agents that work with tenants and landlords both are called full service brokers. There are also agents that only represent tenants. If you are a tenant, you may be much better off by using a broker who only works with tenants as they have a lot more experience with successful tenant representation.
Real Estate
Don?t be afraid to question any potential real estate agents, and ask for references. Your broker should be able to explain what standard they use to measure results. Strive to understand the various strategies that they employ. Work with a real estate broker only if you share the same beliefs and strategies.
TIP! Make sure that the commercial real estate you want to purchase is equipped with connections to all of the utilities you?ll need. You are going to need to sign up for utility services on your commercial property, along with the ones you have at your business.
As we stated at the top of this article, it is best to know about commercial real estate before you start looking for a property. The purpose of the article was to give you information to help you on your quest for success with commercial real estate.

Total Recall: Quentin Tarantino's Best Movies
We count down the best-reviewed work of the Django Unchained director.
Since making his debut with Reservoir Dogs 20 years ago, Quentin Tarantino has enjoyed one of the fastest-rising -- and consistently critically lauded -- careers of any director in modern Hollywood. He's back this weekend with the Jamie Foxx-led revenge fantasy Western Django Unchained, and the reviews are typically solid -- which means now is the perfect time to dedicate a feature to taking a fond look back at his earlier efforts. So cover the kids' ears and keep an eye on Marvin in the back seat, because this week, we're serving up Total Recall Tarantino style!
14%
The appeal of anthology films -- that audiences can see the work of multiple directors under one narrative umbrella -- can also be one of their major drawbacks: The results, as in 1995's Four Rooms, often strike some viewers as wildly, painfully uneven. As this particular outing proved, success isn't guaranteed even if you bring together a handful of the industry's most critically beloved and/or commercially ascendant filmmakers; although Four Rooms united Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Allison Anders, and Alexandre Rockwell to tell the promise-rich tale of a beleaguered bellhop (Tim Roth) making his way through a series of progressively weirder hotel rooms on New Year's Eve, only Rodriguez's segment escaped heaps of withering critical scorn, and the film barely eked out $4 million at the box office. But a 14 percent Tomatometer rating means that a few critics liked it -- such as Boxoffice Magazine's Shlomo Schwartzberg, who shrugged and said, "As a whole, Four Rooms is only diverting, and pretty mindless, but at its best it's a lot of fun."
83%
Forged by the bond of friendship between Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez -- as well as their shared love of sloppy, bloody, low-budget exploitation flicks -- 2007's Grindhouse found the two directors splitting a three-hour double bill that took audiences from cheeky zombie terror (Rodriguez's Planet Terror) to seethingly violent high-octane action (Tarantino's Death Proof). At 65 percent, Tarantino's half of Grindhouse got the short end of the Tomatometer stick, but plenty of critics still enjoyed his gleefully depraved look at a homicidal stuntman (Kurt Russell) with a fondness for murdering young ladies. "I've rarely seen a filmmaker, in current Hollywood at least, expose his sexual and sadistic kinks on screen with such shameless glee," observed an admiring Kevin N. Laforest for the Montreal Film Journal.
84%
Six months after kicking off his Kill Bill revenge saga with Volume 1, Tarantino returned to theaters with its conclusion. Part kung fu brawl, part origin story, Kill Bill: Volume 2 fills in the blanks of its katana-wielding protagonist's (Uma Thurman) past while she slices and dices her way to whatever passes for redemption. Clocking in at over four hours between the two installments, it's a pretty hefty cinematic experience for something that boils down to a fairly simple tale, but most critics didn't mind at all -- in fact, Volume 2 performed nearly as well as its predecessor on the Tomatometer. As Jeremy Heilman of MovieMartyr argued, "The massive combination of the first and second Kill Bill movies stands as a testament to both Tarantino's exceptional skill as a filmmaker and the possibilities of pop cinema."
85%
After an interminable-seeming six-year wait following Jackie Brown, Tarantino re-emerged with a blood-spattered martial arts epic so sprawling it needed to be chopped in half. Enter 2003's Kill Bill: Volume 1, starring Uma Thurman as an assassin whose plans to leave the fold for a life of wedded bliss hit a snag when her mentor (David Carradine) decides he'd rather have her dead than retired, and sends her fellow killers-for-hire (played by Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, and Michael Madsen) to put a permanent stop to the nuptials. After watching Thurman's take-no-prisoners performance, the New York Observer's Andrew Sarris couldn't help but say, "I would argue that, in a bizarre way, Mr. Tarantino empowers women as no action-genre director before him ever has."

How to get paid writing assignments from your blog
Want to earn money off your blog? If you have good traffic you can publish ads and make some residual income. If ad-based revenue is not your cup of tea, since you are already a prolific writer (that?s why you publish a blog) you can get paid writing assignments with the help of your blog.
First of all you have to realize that paid writing is going to be different from writing for your blog. You will need to develop professional habits like turning in your work within the decided time-frame, using a language and style that tallies with your clients? business and developing a well-defined invoicing system. Writing for your personal blog allows you lots of luxury that you will have to get rid of when you start writing for money.
Here are a few things you can do to get paid writing assignments from your blog.
Declare it on your blog
If you want people to give you paid writing assignments you have to declare it somewhere on your blog, preferably prominently. Let it be known to your visitors that you are looking for professional writing assignments. Create a dedicated page explaining your qualifications and methodologies. If you have already worked on paid writing assignments mention that on that page. You can also create the terms and conditions section and let your prospective clients know up front how much you?re going to charge or at least how you calculate fee when you take on new writing assignments.
Attract the right traffic
In order to get paid assignments you need to attract people who would be interested in hiring you and paying you for your writing services. How do you do that? Create targeted content.
You create blog posts that talk about your profession, in this case, writing (content writing, copywriting, article writing, etc.) and what makes you capable of delivering professional writing services. You will need to orient your blog content in such a manner that people who are actually interested in working with you land up on your website and blog rather than people just looking for tips and tutorials. This can be a major problem with a blog as most of the traffic normally consists of people looking for educational material rather than commercial.
Have a contact page
Create a contact page with all your contact information including a working phone number, e-mail address, and a contact form. Specifically mention on that page that you are welcoming queries regarding professional writing assignments.
Upload your writing samples
Although your complete blog is a writing sample, your clients would like to see specific samples to make out whether you are the right writer for them or not. If you haven?t already worked with paying clients, you can create hypothetical samples and mention that on the samples page. The more samples you can put up, the better will be your chances.
Publish testimonials from happy clients
Have you already done writing jobs for some clients? Great! Politely asked them if they can send you some testimonials that you can publish on your blog. If they are too busy to write testimonials for you, you can write the testimonials for them and then get their approval before publishing.
There are many bloggers who successfully use their blogs to get paid writing and speaking assignments. You just need to establish your authority, do the needed amount of networking and present all possible information on your blog that can help your prospective clients decide in your favor.

Brent is charged in connection with a Dec. 8 crash that killed his friend and Cowboys practice squad member Jerry Brown. He is out of jail on $100,000 bond.

Intoxication manslaughter carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Brent could be eligible for probation.

The Top Search Terms of 2012: Hemorrhoids, Herpes ... - Health.com
December 27, 2012 | By Robert A. Barnett
Getty
What ails you? If the 2012 Google Zeitgeist trending health issues is any indication, it?s your bum.
Yes, ?hemorrhoids? tops the list this year. Why? ?I don?t know, but hemorrhoids are definitely a pain in the butt,? says Satish Rattan, DVM, a professor of medicine in the department of gastroenterology at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. He?s doing pioneering research on molecular causes of hemorrhoids. ?It?s a matter of dignity,? he explains.
Moving up the GI track, the second biggest trending term is gastroesophageal reflux, a.k.a., GERD. Other trending GI issues include heartburn (#8) and celiac disease (#9).
The third biggest trending term, though, is ?sexually transmitted diseases.? (Also, herpes is #5 among most searched terms.) Here it gets interesting: How often you search for STDs depends on what device you?re using ? a phone or a computer.
?STDs are much higher on the list of searches for mobile devices,? says Susannah Fox, associate director at the Pew Internet Project, who runs the health research. One possible reason: ?Mobile users are more likely to be younger.? Internet, versus mobile, health searchers are most likely to be in the 30-to-54 age range, she says?perhaps past the peak ages for STD worry.
Why do we love these lists? ?The web is so big, and overwhelming, there?s always a wonder if you?re really connected to what?s really going on,? says Amy Tenderich, who runs the popular Diabetes Mine blog (about Type 1 diabetes), and works for the company that runs Diabetic Connect, a community and ask-the-expert site. ?You want to know what?s hot, what everyone is talking about, so you don?t miss anything.?
Diabetes, it turns out, is hot. It shows up as number two on two other lists: most searched terms, and most searched symptoms. However, once people find out the basics through search, they may dive deeper through social networking sites.
?People are asking if social networks are replacing search as a source of information,? says Pew?s Susannah Fox. ?We looked at that in our 2012 survey, which will be released in a couple of weeks. We found that, in general, search is still king. When looking for health information in 2012, 77% still started with a search engine like Google, Bing or Yahoo, 13% started with a special site like WebMD, and 2% started at a site like Wikipedia. Only 1% started with a social site like Facebook or Twitter.?
But that changes for people who have chronic conditions. ?We?re finding that social networking sites and blogs are common sources for people who are living with chronic conditions. They?re looking for practical tips.?
What?s next? How will we be getting our digital health information in the future? While Google search terms aren?t likely to change?cancer, diabetes, and depression have been top search terms for years ? some trends are emerging:
Peer-to-peer crowdsourcing
On blogs like Diabetes Mine or sites like Diabetes Connect, people can ask questions and get answers from others living with exactly those conditions. (One post about a new drug now has 2,000 comments.) ?About 1 in 5 Internet users have gone online to find others who have similar health concerns,? says Susannah Fox.
Mobile, slowly
Of course it?s growing, but when it comes to health, perhaps slower than the hype. ?In 2012, 85% of U.S. adults owned a cell phone, but only 31% used it to search for health info online.? Mobile apps for exercise and dieting are popular, but we?re not yet using our phones as a primary source of health info?or to get text health alerts. By contrast, while the same percentage of Americans have access to the Internet, 84% have used it to search health information.
Participatory medicine
Once, perhaps, your doctor was the main source of health info. Now many people go online before they see their docs. Some physicians welcome that, a movement call Participatory Medicine. Some even ?prescribe? websites for certain patients.
?The mindset is changing,? says Daniel Sands, MD, MPH, assistant clinical professor at Harvard Medical School and co-founder of the Society for Participatory Medicine. ?Doctors may direct patients to health care websites, rather than just prescribing drugs.? At the same time, doctors who subscribe to participatory medicine?they can actually get a seal from the website?welcome patients who learn about health online.
?We should ask every single patient, ?Do you go online? What sites do you find useful?,? says Dr. Sands. ?We need to let them know that they can share information with us. It?s a very important part of our relationship with our patients.? Over the next few years, more and more patients will be able to view their health records online, download and transmit it to someone else, and communicate with their doctors, he says. ?The era of medicine as a spectator sport ? ?I?m sick, doctor, fix me? ? is over. The new model is participatory medicine.?
Here are the 2012 Google Zeitgeist lists. Let the 2013 searching begin!

Top 2012 Posts: New Homes are Less Expensive to Maintain ? Eye ...
With the end of 2012 approaching, we here at NAHB?s Eye on Housing thought we would take a look at the updates that attracted the most readers over the last year.? In April, we took a look at the cost advantages of new homes.
??????????
April is new homes month. And one of the virtues of a newly constructed home is the savings that come from reduced energy and maintenance expenses.
Data from the 2009 American Housing Survey (AHS) offer proof. The AHS classifies new construction as homes no more than four years old.
For example, for routine maintenance expenses, 26% of all homeowners spent $100 or more a month on various upkeep costs. However, only 11%? of owners of newly constructed homes spent this amount. In fact, 73% of new homeowners spent less than $25 a month on routine maintenance costs.
Similar findings are available for energy expenses. On a median?per square foot basis, homeowners spent 78 cents per square foot per year on electricity. Owners of new homes spent 65 cents per square foot per year.
For homes with piped gas, homeowners spent on average 53 cents per square foot per year. Owners of new homes spent 38 cents per square foot per year.
These data highlight that a new home offers savings over the life of ownership due to reduced operating costs. This is one of the many reasons that the current system of appraisals needs updating to reflect the flow of benefits that come from features in a new home.

Report: Women at Iran nuclear plant violate code
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) ? An Iranian lawmaker is saying Russian women working in the country's sole nuclear power plant do not observe the strict Islamic dress code, though they are paid extra to comply.
Under Iranian law, all women must cover themselves from head to toe in public.
A Tuesday report by the semiofficial ISNA news agency quotes Mahdi Mousavinejad, a representative of the southern Iranian port of Bushehr, where the plant is located, as saying violation of dress code by the Russian workers has had a "corrupting and negative impact" on his constituency.
Mousavinejad says he will report on the case to the Iranian parliament. He did not say how many women were involved or how much they were paid.
Russia says it will hand over the plant to Iranian engineers in mid-2013.

Lieberman fears country may go over 'fiscal cliff'

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Senators bickered Sunday over who's to blame for lurching the country toward a year-end "fiscal cliff," bemoaning the lack of a deal days before the deadline but bridging no differences in the debate.
With the collapse Thursday of House Speaker John Boehner's plan to allow tax rates to rise on million-dollar-plus incomes, Sen. Joe Lieberman said "it's the first time that I feel it's more likely we'll go over the cliff than not," meaning that higher taxes for most Americans and painful federal agency budget cuts would be in line to go ahead.
"If we allow that to happen it will be the most colossal consequential act of congressional irresponsibility in a long time, maybe ever in American history because of the impact it'll have on almost every American," said Lieberman, a Connecticut independent.
Wyoming Sen. Jon Barrasso, a member of the GOP leadership, predicted that the new year would come without an agreement, and he faulted the White House.
"I believe the president is eager to go over the cliff for political purposes. He senses a victory at the bottom of the cliff," he said.
Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, was incredulous at Barrasso's assertion that 'there is only one person that can provide the leadership" on such a matter vital to the nation's interests.
"There are 535 of us that can provide leadership. There are 435 in the House, 100 in the Senate and there is the president, all of us have a responsibility here," he said. "And, you know what is happening? What is happening is the same old tired blame game. He said/she said. I think the American people are tired of it. What they want to hear is what is the solution?"
No solution seemed any nearer, with Obama and Congress on a short holiday break. Congress is expected to be back at work Thursday and Obama in the White House after a few days in Hawaii.
"It is time to get back to the table," said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., "And I hope if anyone sees these representatives from the House in line shopping or getting their Christmas turkey, they wish them a merry Christmas, they're civil, and then say go back to the table, not your own table, the table in Washington."
Predicted Lieberman: "We're going to spend New Year's Eve here I believe."
Obama already has scaled back his ambitions for a sweeping budget bargain. Before leaving the capital on Friday, he called for a limited measure that extend George W. Bush-era tax cuts for most people and stave off federal spending cuts. The president also urged Congress to extend jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed that would otherwise be cut off for 2 million people at the end of the year.
"The truth of the matter is, if we do fall off the cliff after the president is inaugurated, he'll come back, propose just what he proposed ... in leaving Washington and we'll end up adopting it, but why should we put the markets in such turmoil and the people misunderstanding or lack of confidence," said Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga. "Why not go ahead and act now?
Obama's announcement late Friday suggested that a smaller deal may rest in the Senate, given the failure of Boehner's option in the House.
"The ball is now clearly with the Senate," said Lieberman.
He said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky "have the ability to put this together again and pass something. It won't be a big, grand bargain to take care of the total debt, but they can do some things that will avoid the worst consequences going over the fiscal cliff."
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said she expects "it is going to be a patch because in four days we can't solve everything."
It was only a week ago when news emerged that Obama and Boehner had significantly narrowed their differences. Both were offering a cut in taxes for most Americans, an increase for a relative few and cuts of roughly $1 trillion in spending over a year. Also included was a scaling back of future cost-of-living increases for Social Security recipients ? a concession on the president's part as much as agreeing to higher tax rates was for the speaker.
Lieberman was on CNN's "State of the Union," while Barrasso and Conrad appeared on "Fox News Sunday." Klobuchar and Isakson were on "Fox News Sunday," while Hutchison was on CBS' "Face the Nation."
