How Much Do Looks Matter in Presidential Politics?
Ever since the first televised presidential debate in September 1960, when Richard Nixon was said to have been deemed the winner by Americans listening on the radio and John F. Kennedy was preferred by those watching TV, conventional wisdom has dictated that looks matter in politics. For decades political observers have pointed out that in presidential match-ups, it?s often the taller man who wins. In recent years, social and political scientists have begun looking seriously at this question, trying to quantify the effects of physical attractiveness in the lab. In presidential politics, does it help to look like Mitt Romney? Or, put another way, how much does Newt Gingrich?s face hurt him?

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? The New York Giants have their own Super Bowl formula: in overtime and on the road.
And with Lawrence Tynes’ foot.
Five plays after the 49ers’ Kyle Williams fumbled a punt, Tynes kicked a 31-yard field goal in overtime, sending the Giants to the Super Bowl with a 20-17 victory over San Francisco in the NFC championship game Sunday.
In another tight one in this decades-old postseason rivalry, both defenses made key stops before New York capitalized on a rare mistake in San Francisco’s resurgent season. Williams’ blunder put the Giants in perfect position for another sensational finish in a season full of them.
“That was a tough game. We had to fight for every yard that we got,” Giants quarterback Eli Manning said. “Defense was outstanding, special teams getting us two turnovers was huge. That led to 10 points.”
The first three overtime series ended in punts before Williams fumbled. The Giants won it moments later and silenced ? for good this time ? the towel-waving, poncho-wearing sellout crowd at cold, rainy Candlestick Park.
“It was one of those situations where I tried to turn it upfield and it just didn’t work out,” Williams said.
Manning and the Giants (12-7) will face the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis as 3?-point underdogs. The last time the teams met for the NFL title, 2008, the Giants ended the Patriots’ bid for a perfect season.
Tynes had a hand, er, foot in getting the Giants to that one, too, kicking a field goal in overtime.
Devin Thomas put the Giants in position this time by recovering his second fumble of the game after Jacquian Williams stripped the ball from fill-in return man Kyle Williams, who also fumbled earlier to set up a New York touchdown.
“It’s my second NFC championship game, my second game-winner,” Tynes said about his kick 7:54 into overtime. “It’s amazing. I had dreams about this last night. It was from 42, not 31, but I was so nervous today before the game just anticipating this kind of game. I’m usually pretty cool, but there was something about tonight where I knew I was going to have to make a kick. Hats off to Eli, offense, defense. Great win.”
Holder Steve Weatherford celebrated with a slip-and-slide on his back down the soggy field. Victor Cruz fell to his knees. Tynes quickly found his crying wife for a warm hug. Manning tossed his gloves into the temporary seats with a big smile, then received a surprise visit from big brother, Peyton, in the locker room.
Manning went 32 of 58 for 316 yards and two touchdowns and overcame six sacks in his record fifth road playoff win, New York’s fifth in a row overall.
Manning threw a go-ahead 17-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham with 8:34 remaining after Kyle Williams fumbled for the first time.
The Giants challenged that the ball touched Williams’ right knee and Thomas recovered with 11:06 left and coach Tom Coughlin won, giving the Giants the ball back at the 29.
“That was a tremendous football game for those that really enjoy football at it’s very basic element,” said Coughlin, who matched former Cowboys coach Tom Landry for most road playoff wins with seven. “Just a classic football game that just seemed like no one was going to put themselves into position to win it. Fortunately we were able to do that.”
A 12-point underdog in the 2008 title game, the Giants battered Brady and got a last-minute TD pass from Manning to Plaxico Burress to win their third Super Bowl. Five months ago, Manning declared he was in the same class as Tom Brady. Now, he’ll get another chance to outdo him on the NFL’s biggest stage.
During this playoff run, he’s already outplayed Aaron Rodgers and the defending champion Packers, and fellow former No. 1 pick Alex Smith.
Cruz set the tone Sunday with eight of his 10 receptions in the first half and finished with 142 yards.
“It’s just been a tremendous effort by all of us, man,” Cruz said. “We understand that any one of us can get hot at any moment. As long as we’re all on the same page and just playing together, man, we’ve got a great group of guys.”
The Giants appeared on the verge of collapsing and Coughlin’s job status in jeopardy just a month ago, when they fell to 7-7 with an embarrassing loss to the Washington Redskins on Dec. 18.
They were facing elimination the following week against the Jets and Rex Ryan, but the Giants won 29-14. They followed with a 31-14 win over Dallas in the regular-season finale to win the NFC East and get to the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
New York dominated Atlanta at home in the opening round, and then came another stunner: a 37-20 victory at Green Bay.
Vernon Davis caught touchdown passes of 73 and 28 yards for the NFC West champions (14-4), who went from 6-10 a year ago to a contender and ended an eight-year playoff drought.
“It will be a tough one. It will take a while to get over,” Harbaugh said. “There were a lot of ways in which we played well enough to win. We just didn’t come away with it.”
Smith completed just 12 of 26 passes for 196 yards, connecting on only one short throw to a wide receiver. With no threats on the outside, San Francisco managed one third-down conversion, coming on the final play of regulation. The offense was unable to overcome Williams’ blunders.
“We all know him. We know how committed he is to winning,” Smith said. “It’s not on him. I look at the 1-for-13 on third downs. I know he’s going to feel bad, but he’s still part of our team. We didn’t lose the game there. We lost it across the board offensively. We just couldn’t get it done.”
The only other time these two franchises faced off in the conference championship the game finished in memorable fashion. On Jan. 20, 1991, Roger Craig fumbled with the 49ers leading 13-12 late in the fourth quarter and the Giants went on to win 15-13 to deny San Francisco a chance at a third straight Super Bowl title. New York then beat the Bills to capture its second Super Bowl.
This time, it was Williams who made the crucial mistake.
‘You hate to be the last guy that had the ball, to give it away in that fashion and to lose a game of this magnitude,” Williams said. “It is what it is. We’re going to move forward as a team. Everyone has come to pat me on the back and the shoulder to say it’s not me.”
Notes: Davis joined Jerry Rice as the only 49ers with at least two touchdowns receiving in back-to-back playoff games. … Cruz caught a 36-yard pass from Manning on the first play of the second quarter, then Manning hit Bear Pascoe for a 6-yard touchdown seven plays later. … Giants C David Baas beat his former team. … Manningham missed the potential game-tying TD in a 27-20 loss here on Nov. 13.

The UN standard to prevent genocide, 10 years later
Ten years after the UN created the ‘Responsibility to Protect,’ standard still stymied by politics and competing interests.
It was 10 years ago last month that the concept of a ?responsibility to protect? (R2P) first emerged. 2011 alone saw the principle cited in some of the most defining moments of the year?a testament to growing acceptance of the international norm.
Skip to next paragraph
At an event last week hosted by the Stanley Foundation in New York to recognize the anniversary, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon offered complimentary remarks about the use of R2P to justify action in C?te d?Ivoire and Libya. He highlighted partnerships with the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States in the case of C?te d?Ivoire and in Libya with the Arab League and the Organization for Islamic Cooperation that paved the way for action from the UN Security Council.
But it was the UN secretary general?s unusually candid insights about the limitations of implementing the Responsibility to Protect in South Sudan recently that stood out. Ban was speaking about the overtly ethnic clashes between the Lou Nuer and Murle people of South Sudan?s Jonglei state.
We saw [the violence] coming weeks before.
Yet we were not able to stop it – unfortunately. Nor was the government, which like others has primary responsibility for protecting its citizens.
The reason was painfully simple: we were denied the use of necessary resources … in particular helicopters that would have given us mobility to bring all the UN peacekeepers where there are no roads except by air mobility.
At the critical moment, I was reduced to begging for replacements from neighboring countries and missions. With limited resources, we tried our best.
So, a key challenge in putting the Responsibility to Protect into practice is this: how do we do our job, how do we deliver on Security Council mandates, when the very members of the Council do not give us the support we need.
The UN?s strategy for protecting civilians in the case of Jonglei consisted primarily of instructing civilians to flee. The UN mission sent 500 combat-ready peacekeepers and around 300 supporting peacekeepers to the area, under the mission?s Chapter VII mandate that enables them to fire on would-be aggressors in defense of civilians. But up against approximately 6,000 Lou Nuer militia men with the stated aim ?to wipe Murle out,?** and without the adequate equipment for transportation, urging people to flee?effectively encouraging a humanitarian emergency that has now left an estimated 120,000 people in need of assistance?became the least bad option. In the end, because of the UN?s action, the Lou Nuer offensive proved far less deadly than initially anticipated. But urging civilians to hide in the bush, where they become vulnerable to other threats, hardly seems like a sustainable long-term approach to protection.
In hindsight, far more needed to be done in Jonglei to mediate between the rival Lou Nuer and Murle, such as engaging the young men who would become implicated in the violence in reconciliation efforts. The South Sudan government should have gotten more deeply involved in addressing past grievances between the communities. In other words, key preventative efforts could have been attempted to potentially avert the explosive attacks and counter-attacks that are still ongoing.
Importantly, in his remarks at the Stanley Foundation, Ban Ki-moon highlighted the role prevention plays in the responsibility to protect in the face of brewing conflict. He called for 2012 to be the year of prevention, urging member states to be willing to take ?proactive, decisive, and early action? before violence breaks out, to not look away when crisis is intensifying. ?We have done that too often,? he said, adding:
For societies under stress, early warning may come too late to prevent the outbreak of mass violence. Such situations call for a dynamic assessment of how such stresses are developing over time, and how the international community can help.
It means little, however, to get the assessment right if it is not followed by targeted, measured and determined action.
The secretary general pointed to Syria as a crisis that is presently putting this point to test. But Ban Ki-moon need not have looked even beyond South Sudan and Sudan to highlight a glaring example of a ?responsibility to protect? failing to mobilize meaningful action. After months of bombardment and attacks on civilian populations by the Sudanese army and its allied militias, which provoked a shockingly feeble rhetorical response from the international community, the states of Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile now teeter on the verge of famine.
“It is clear that the Government of Sudan has instituted a deliberate policy to prevent humanitarian agencies from reaching vulnerable civilians impacted by the conflict,? wrote U.S. Special Representative to the United Nations Susan Rice in a letter to the Security Council just two days before the secretary general?s remarks. ?[I]f the government of Sudan does not allow immediate meaningful humanitarian access to the conflict zones in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile so life saving humanitarian assistance can be provided to civilians in need, we will likely see famine conditions in parts of Sudan,? Rice said.
An eight-month long government offensive, ?indiscriminately bombing? of its own civilians, followed by acute food insecurity exacerbated by the government?s blockage of aid?it?s a scenario that exemplifies the need for the Responsibility to Protect. And yet in its conspicuous absence from Ban Ki-moon?s remarks, Sudan?s latest crisis zone also epitomizes the unequal nature by which R2P is acted upon, when the call for a meaningful international response gets stymied by what Ban himself called, ?a minefield of nuance, political calculation, and competing national interests.?

Dutch court refuses to ban sales of Samsung tablet (AP)
THE HAGUE, Netherlands ? Dutch appeals judges ruled Tuesday that Samsung’s Galaxy Tab tablet is not a copy of Apple’s popular iPad, handing the Korean consumer electronics maker its latest legal victory over its American rival.
The Hague Appeals court ruling upheld a lower court’s refusal to grant Apple Inc. an injunction banning the sale of Galaxy Tabs in the Netherlands.
Apple argued that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and earlier 10.1v model copied the iPad that dominated the tablet market from its 2010 launch.
An Apple spokesman didn’t immediately return a telephone call seeking the company’s comment. A call to Samsung was not immediately answered.
Last year, Apple sued Samsung Electronics Co. in the United States, alleging its Galaxy devices “slavishly copy” the iPhone and iPad.
Samsung fought back with lawsuits of its own, accusing Apple of patent infringement of its wireless telecommunications technology.
A Dutch court refused last year to grant Samsung an injunction banning Apple from selling iPhones and iPad tablets in the Netherlands.
The civil court in The Hague rejected Samsung’s argument that Apple should not be allowed to sell devices such as tablets and smartphones that use 3G mobile technology patented by Samsung because the Cupertino-based company does not have licenses to use the technology.

FACT CHECK: Gingrich flubs history in GOP debate (AP)
WASHINGTON ? Newt Gingrich called rival Mitt Romney a “terrible historian” but flubbed his own history in Congress on Monday night when he claimed the nation ran four consecutive budget surpluses during his time as House speaker. Romney attacked Gingrich’s financial links to Freddie Mac while ignoring his own.
The accusations were fast out of the gate in the latest Republican presidential debate, and reality got tromped in the process.
A look at some of claims and how they compare with the facts:
___
GINGRICH: “When I was speaker, we had four consecutive balanced budgets.”
THE FACTS: Actually, two.
The four straight years of budget surpluses were 1998 through 2001. Gingrich left Congress in 1999, so he only had a hand in surpluses for his last two years. The budget ran deficits for his first two years as speaker.
The highest surplus of that four-year string came in budget year 2000, after Gingrich was out of office.
Overall, the national debt went up during the four years Gingrich was speaker. In January 1995, when he assumed the leadership position, the gross national debt was $4.8 trillion. When he left four years later, it was $5.6 trillion, an increase of $800 billion.
___
ROMNEY: “I don’t think we can possibly retake the White House if the person who’s leading our party is the person who was working for the chief lobbyist of Freddie Mac. Freddie Mac was paying Speaker Gingrich $1.6 million at the same time Freddie Mac was costing the people of Florida millions upon millions of dollars.”
THE FACTS: While going after Gingrich forcefully on the issue, Romney did not mention his own earnings from the government-backed lender and its sister entity, Fannie Mae, which came to light in his most recent financial disclosure report.
The report shows he has as much as $500,000 invested in the two lenders. GOP presidential hopefuls almost across the board have blamed the two institutions for contributing to the housing crisis that helped to drag the nation into recession. Among Romney’s ties: a mutual fund worth up to $500,000 that includes assets from both lenders among other government income, and separate investments in each of the lenders in Romney’s individual retirement account, each worth between $100,000 and $250,000.
Romney campaign officials said Monday the investments were handled by a trustee with no direction by the candidate.
___
GINGRICH: “I left the speakership after the 1998 election because I took responsibility for the fact that our results weren’t as good as they should be. I think that’s what a leader should do. I took responsibility. And I didn’t want to stay around, as Nancy Pelosi has. I wanted to get out and do other things.”
ROMNEY: “He had to resign in disgrace.”
RON PAUL: “I think the reason he didn’t … run for speaker, you know, two years later ? he didn’t have the votes. That was what the problem was. So this idea that he voluntarily reneged and he was going to punish himself because we didn’t do well in the election, that’s just not the way it was.”
THE FACTS: Gingrich didn’t exactly resign in disgrace after he became the first speaker reprimanded and fined for ethics violations, slapped with a $300,000 penalty, in January 1997. He limped to re-election as speaker after that. But his number was soon up.
Within months, he was fending off a revolt from fellow Republicans weary of his antics and mercurial ways.
As Paul suggested in the debate, unexpected GOP losses in the 1998 elections were the last straw for Gingrich in the eyes of House Republicans. Three days later Gingrich announced he was stepping down as speaker and giving up his seat in Congress.
Paul’s recollection now is supported by some of Gingrich’s words back then. He told Republicans, “I’m willing to lead but I’m not willing to preside over people who are cannibals,” sounding less like a man interested in a career change than one intent on escaping a boiling pot.
___
ROMNEY: “Our Navy is now smaller than any time since 1917. And the president is building roughly nine ships a year. We ought to raise that to 15 ships a year. Under this president, under prior presidents, we keep on shrinking our Navy.”
THE FACTS: Romney is correct about the size of the Navy, but the numbers alone don’t tell the story.
At 285 ships the Navy is small by its own historical standards but still larger than the navies of the next several nations combined. These days, it’s not how many ships but what they can do. There is a longstanding trend toward smaller numbers of more complex and expensive vessels.
Still, the Navy has noted the smaller size of the current fleet and plans to add 28 ships over several years. The shrinking of the fleet size has spanned Republican and Democratic administrations, as the Navy restructures and plans for the addition of new platforms.
___
RICK SANTORUM: “One of (my proposals) would be to be able to deduct losses from the sale of your home. Right now you can’t do that. You have to pay gains, depending on the amount, but you can’t deduct the losses, as other capital losses can be.”
THE FACTS: For a brief description, it was accurate. What Santorum did not explain, in appealing to Floridians who have one of the worst housing markets in the country, is that the tax code is already stacked in favor of home ownership.
Homeowners get many tax breaks from the government, most notably mortgage interest and property tax deductions. Under federal law, when you sell your private residence, you can make up to $250,000 in profit ? $500,000 if you are married ? and not owe any capital gains taxes. That’s a large tax break. There’s no such break if you have such a profit in selling stocks or works of art.
But there is a trade-off: You can’t claim a loss when you sell your private residence.
___
ROMNEY: President Barack Obama’s $814 billion economic stimulus program “didn’t create private-sector jobs.”
THE FACTS: There is no support for that assertion. Between 1.2 million and 3.7 million full-time-equivalent jobs were created last year because of the stimulus, according to an August 2011 report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Meanwhile, another government report found the stimulus program has paid $34.5 billion in tax incentives to businesses, including $260 million to hire younger, unemployed war veterans.
Economists debate whether the stimulus lived up to its promise or was worth the cost, but no one seriously argues that it created no jobs. Many believe it helped to end the recession even while falling short of its employment goals.

Ozzy Osbourne won’t sing at son Jack’s wedding
>> this morning on “today’s beauty” seize the gray from jamey lee curtis’s pixie cut to emmy lou harris ‘s long locks the days of hiding your gray hair long gone. here are tips for silver strands as “prevention” magazine’s beauty director jennifer goldstein joins us. great to see you.
>> good to be here.
>> i love this a lot of celebrities are rocking it even if they don’t have naturally gray hair like kelly osbourne .
>> we saw at the golden globes this past weekend she dyes her hair gray prematurely. that’s how cool it can look. we did a study at prevention.com and found 71% of people think women with gray hair can be sexy. that is only a few percentage points behind the number of people who think men with gray hair can be sexy.
>> right. we often hear of a man with salt and pepper hair but for women –
>> yes. i think people have a hesitation to do it. now you can see you can make it look really gorgeous. if someone in their 20s is doing it then it can look great.
>> let’s talk about the source of gray hair. you hear people especially moms say you’re giving me gray hair. is that possible?
>> a lot of people think stress can cause gray hair and they are studying that but so far there is no proven link. what we do know is that as we age there is a decrease in melanin and that’s how you get gray hair.
>> let’s look at how you make it work for you. first up is pamela . let’s look at pamela ‘s short hair off the top there. what did you do?
>> well, pamela had a — was growing in her gray hair but her cut is what we want to talk about. a lot of women think when they have gray hair they have to go short. what you don’t want to do is get a really feathery or layered cut. you want something sharp and modern. look how great she looks now. you can ask your stylist not to use a razor because a razor frays the end of your hair and that can have that fly away quality.
>> it can look dry.
>> untidy and dry.
>> yes.
>> another good tip is if you have a hair cut like this or any hair cut with gray hair use a blue tinted shampoo once a month.
>> blue tinted.
>> you don’t want to use it every day.
>> does it give you blue hair ?
>> you won’t look like marge simpson . once a month. this is clairol shimmer lights. it counteracts any yellow from the gray hair.
>> i want to touch it. it looks so soft.
>> shiny, beautiful. modern and cool.
>> please don’t be offended that i am rubbing your hair. really gorgeous. next up maureen . she has longer hair. again, a little bit of the frizziness. how did you improve the look?
>> when you have gray hair it is important to style it correctly. and maureen air dried i think in this picture and what you need to know with gray hair is it can look dryer like we said.
>> why is that?
>> it grows in more coarse and is more porous than pigmented hair. it is important to use shine products and it’s important to try and get that smooth, polished finish stow doo it doesn’t look wiry and crazy.
>> so this is solely with shine products.
>> this is ultra shiny silver spray from sally beauty. you don’t want to use anything that has alcohol which can be drying. you don’t want to use anything too heavy because it can coat the hair and make it look sort of dusty.
>> now with maureen and pamela their hair, the gray seems so perfectly placed. you can’t control that.
>> you can’t control where you’re going to get the gray hairs unfortunately.
>> it looks gorgeous.
>> it seems that when people’s gray hair grows in it looks great whatever shade it is. silver gray, white.
>> both of them have dark hair. is it harder if you’re a blonde going gray?
>> either way. there is a study that shows gray goes faster. if you want to grow in your gray hair it’s going to grow a lot faster than it does when it’s pigmented. it’s not that hard.
>> we have judy. let’s take a look at the before picture. she looks absolutely lovely. i think the only thing that is missing, lip stick or something?
>> exactly. you have to change your makeup a little bit when you do go gray.
>> why?
>> you tend to look washed out because the white or the gray around your face sort of gives you that washed outlook. so it’s really important to do your makeup correctly. one of the key things is brows. usually when your hair is growing gray your brows are going gray also.
>> right.
>> you want to pencil them in. don’t make them dark brown or really severe.
>> do you make them the color of your natural color hair?
>> usually a taupe color half way between gray and brown looks good on anybody. we used sonia taupe brow pencil and then if you see here we have a selection of makeup products. you don’t want beiges and browns and taupes.
>> corals there.
>> you want coral, apricot, rose, those kind of colors that bring life back to the skin and add rosiness.
>> does it matter if you are as fair as she is or dark as i am?
>> she might wear a lighter pink or you might use a fuschia. you don’t want mauve or beige. it would look washed out.
>> absolutely beautiful. let’s go out.
