Elizabeth "Betsy" McCaughey (/məˈkɔɪ/; born Elizabeth Helen Peterken, October 20, 1948), formerly known as Betsy McCaughey Ross, is an American politician who was Lieutenant Governor of New York from 1995 to 1998, during the first term of Governor George Pataki. She unsuccessfully sought the Democratic Party nomination for Governor after Pataki dropped her from his 1998 ticket, and ended up on the ballot under the Liberal party line.

A historian by training, with a Ph.D. from Columbia University, McCaughey has, over the years, provided conservative media commentary on U.S. public policy affecting healthcare-related issues. Her 1993 attack on the Clinton healthcare plan was likely a major factor in the initially-popular bill's defeat in Congress; also, it brought her to the attention of Republican Pataki, who chose her as his Lieutenant Governor nominee/running mate. In 2009, her criticisms of the Affordable Care Act -- then a bill being debated in Congress -- again gained significant media attention in TV and radio interviews, and may have specifically inspired the "death panel" claim about the act.

She has been a fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute and Hudson Institute think tanks, and has written numerous articles and op-eds. She was a member of the boards of directors of medical equipment companies Genta (from 2001 to 2007) and Cantel Medical Corporation, until she resigned in 2009 to avoid the appearance of conflict-of-interest, given her public advocacy against the Affordable Care Act legislation.

Scott Kevin Walker (born November 2, 1967) is an American Republican politician who is the 45th Governor of Wisconsin. He is a two-term Governor, elected in 2010 and 2014, who also defeated an effort to recall him in 2012.

Walker began his political career in the state assembly, serving from 1993-2002. After the 2002 resignation of Tom Ament as Executive of Milwaukee County, Walker won in a special election to fill the seat, which he held from 2002 to 2010.

Walker was elected governor of Wisconsin in 2010, defeating the Democratic nominee, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. After being sworn into office in 2011, Walker introduced a budget repair plan which limited many collective bargaining powers for most public employees. The legislation led to significant protests at the Wisconsin State Capitol and an effort to recall Walker. In June 2012, Walker faced Barrett in Wisconsin's only gubernatorial recall election. After emerging as the winner, Walker became the only governor in the U.S. to date to win a gubernatorial recall election.

Walker is seen by many as a potential candidate for the GOP's nomination in the 2016 presidential election, having formed a 527 organization in January of 2015.

Christopher James "Chris" Christie (born September 6, 1962) is an American politician and member of the Republican Party who has served as the 55th Governor of New Jersey since January 2010.

Born in Newark in 1962, Christie volunteered for the gubernatorial campaign of Republican Thomas Kean when he was 15. A 1984 graduate of the University of Delaware, Christie earned a J.D. at Seton Hall University School of Law. Christie joined a Cranford, New Jersey, law firm in 1987, rose to become a partner in 1993, and continued practicing until 2002. He was elected county legislator in Morris County, serving from 1995 to 1998, during which time he generally pushed for lower taxes and lower spending. By 2002, Christie had campaigned for Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush; the latter appointed him as United States Attorney for New Jersey, a position he held from 2002 to 2008. In that position, he emphasized prosecutions of political corruption and also obtained convictions for sexual slavery, arms trafficking, racketeering by gangs, and other federal crimes.

In January 2009, Christie declared his candidacy for Governor of New Jersey. He won the Republican primary, and defeated incumbent Governor Jon Corzine in the election that November. In 2013, he won re-election as Governor, defeating Democrat Barbara Buono by a margin of over 22%. He was sworn in to a second term as governor on January 21, 2014. On November 21, 2013, Christie was elected Chairman of the Republican Governors Association, succeeding Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.

Christie was seen as a potential candidate in the 2012 presidential election, and though not running, he was the keynote speaker at the 2012 Republican National Convention. He is viewed as a potential presidential candidate in 2016. Following the controversial closure of toll plaza access lanes in Fort Lee in 2013, an internal investigation commissioned by the Governor's Office found no evidence of Christie having prior knowledge of or having directed the closure. Investigations of the affair by United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey and the New Jersey Legislature are ongoing.

Albarracín es una localidad y municipio español del suroeste de la provincia de Teruel, comunidad autónoma deAragón.

La localidad es Monumento Nacional desde 1961; posee la Medalla de Oro al mérito en las Bellas Artes de 1996, y se encuentra propuesta por la Unesco para ser declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la belleza e importancia de su patrimonio histórico.

Se encuentra situada cerca de la antigua ciudad romana de Lobetum. Los árabes llamaron al lugar Alcartam que se derivaría del antiguo topónimo de Ercávida, pasando a denominarse más tarde como Aben Razin, nombre de una familia bereber, de donde se derivaría su nombre actual. Otros opinan que el término «Albarracín» derivaría delcelta alb, 'montaña', y ragin, 'viña', 'uva' o del antropónimo Razin.4

Sin duda el topónimo procede de Ibn (ben) hijo de Razin (reyes taifas de Albarracín desde la fitna hasta Ibn Mardanis, rey Lobo de Murcia. es decir Al lugar de los hijos de Razin, aunque hasta el s. XIX su nombre oficial es Ciudad de Santa María de Albarracín, denominándose en época islámica Santa María de Oriente

El casco antiguo se encuentra construido sobre las faldas de una montaña, rodeada casi en su totalidad por el río Guadalaviar. Al norte se encuentra la sierra de Albarracín, y al sur los montes Universales. Parte de su término municipal está ocupado por el Paisaje protegido de los Pinares de Rodeno.

En los alrededores nacen los ríos Guadalaviar, Tajo, Júcar, Cabriel yJiloca.

Su término municipal es, por razones históricas, uno de los más grandes de la provincia de Teruel (sólo superado por el de Alcañiz) y en él se encuentran las localidades de: Albarracín (capital del municipio), El Cañigral, Las Casillas de Bezas, Collado de la Grulla, Valle Cabriel, El Membrillo, San Pedro y Valdevecar.

El pueblo está encaramado en un peñón y rodeado por el Guadalaviar. Por este lado y mirando hacia el río se hallan edificadas las casas colgadas. Dentro del pueblo sus calles son empinadas y estrechas, con rincones muy pintorescos. La construcción ofrece la original arquitectura popular con la forja propia de la provincia además de tener el color rojizo característico llamado rodeno.

La ciudad se divide en dos zonas:

•la parte antigua, la Ciudad, con sus casas colgadas sobre la hoz del río;

•el Arrabal, situado en la vega del Guadalaviar.

En la Edad de Hierro estuvo habitada por la tribu celta de los lobetanos. Se han encontrado importantes pinturas rupestres epipaleolíticas y neolíticas de estilo levantino, esquemático y semiesquemático en el pinar del rodeno. Durante la época romana se llamó, al parecer, Lobetum, y en tiempos de los visigodos, Santa María de Oriente.

Durante el período andalusí, concretamente el siglo XI, el clan bereber de los Banu Razin alcanzó el poder convirtiéndose en la dinastía soberana de la taifa de Albarracín. De este linaje procede el propio nombre de la población (al-Banu Razin: (la ciudad) de los hijos de Razín). De esta magnífica etapa se conservan dos importantes testimonios: la torre del Andador -situada en lo alto del recinto exterior- y el Castillo de Albarracín, que albergó la antigua alcazaba de los Banu Razin.

La taifa pasó posteriormente, por cesión y no por conquista, a la familia cristiana de linaje navarro de los Azagra, que mantuvieron de facto la independencia deCastilla y de Aragón desde 1170, llegando a crear un obispado propio. También el poderoso linaje de Lara ejerció su soberanía sobre Albarracín. Tras el fracaso de conquista por parte de Jaime I en 1220, es Pedro III de Aragón quien la conquistó en 1285 tras sitiarla, pasando definitivamente a la Corona de Aragón en 1300. Esta serie de hechos políticos tuvieron como base la importancia de la fortaleza y del sistema defensivo de Albarracín.

Es una antigua sede episcopal denominada, primero Arcabricense y después Segobricense hasta que, tras la desmembración de las iglesias de Segorbe (Castellón) de las iglesias de Albarracín, paso a denominarse Albarracinense, tras la Bula Papal de Juan Pablo II, mantiene su independencia pero pasa a ser regida por el Obispo de Teruel que es también Obispo de Albarracín.

El 21 de junio de 1257 el rey Jaime I concedió en Teruel a la Comunidad de Santa María de Albarracín o Comunidad de aldeas de Albarracín el privilegio sobre competencia de jurisdicción de sexmeros, asistentes y jurados de dicha Ciudad

Durante la Guerra Civil Española tuvieron lugar en la localidad combates entre las tropas republicanas y las franquistas, cambiando varias veces el control de la población entre ambos bandos. En julio de 1937 tuvo lugar una ofensiva republicana sobre la localidad, constituyendo el mayor enfrentamiento bélico habido en la localidad durante la guerra. En un rápido ataque, el 8 de julio los republicanos se hicieron con el control de la localidad a excepción del Ayuntamiento y la Catedral, en los que permanecieron sitiados militares y civiles que se habían refugiado previamente. Los sublevados reaccionaron enviando refuerzos y el 13 de julio lograron reconquistar la localidad y expulsar a las tropas republicanas.

La localidad es Monumento Nacional desde 1961; posee la Medalla de Oro al mérito en las Bellas Artes de 1996, y se encuentra propuesta por la Unesco para ser declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la belleza e importancia de su patrimonio histórico.

Se encuentra situada cerca de la antigua ciudad romana de Lobetum. Los árabes llamaron al lugar Alcartam que se derivaría del antiguo topónimo de Ercávida, pasando a denominarse más tarde como Aben Razin, nombre de una familia bereber, de donde se derivaría su nombre actual. Otros opinan que el término «Albarracín» derivaría delcelta alb, 'montaña', y ragin, 'viña', 'uva' o del antropónimo Razin.4

Sin duda el topónimo procede de Ibn (ben) hijo de Razin (reyes taifas de Albarracín desde la fitna hasta Ibn Mardanis, rey Lobo de Murcia. es decir Al lugar de los hijos de Razin, aunque hasta el s. XIX su nombre oficial es Ciudad de Santa María de Albarracín, denominándose en época islámica Santa María de Oriente

El casco antiguo se encuentra construido sobre las faldas de una montaña, rodeada casi en su totalidad por el río Guadalaviar. Al norte se encuentra la sierra de Albarracín, y al sur los montes Universales. Parte de su término municipal está ocupado por el Paisaje protegido de los Pinares de Rodeno.

En los alrededores nacen los ríos Guadalaviar, Tajo, Júcar, Cabriel yJiloca.

Su término municipal es, por razones históricas, uno de los más grandes de la provincia de Teruel (sólo superado por el de Alcañiz) y en él se encuentran las localidades de: Albarracín (capital del municipio), El Cañigral, Las Casillas de Bezas, Collado de la Grulla, Valle Cabriel, El Membrillo, San Pedro y Valdevecar.

El pueblo está encaramado en un peñón y rodeado por el Guadalaviar. Por este lado y mirando hacia el río se hallan edificadas las casas colgadas. Dentro del pueblo sus calles son empinadas y estrechas, con rincones muy pintorescos. La construcción ofrece la original arquitectura popular con la forja propia de la provincia además de tener el color rojizo característico llamado rodeno.

La ciudad se divide en dos zonas:

•la parte antigua, la Ciudad, con sus casas colgadas sobre la hoz del río;

•el Arrabal, situado en la vega del Guadalaviar.

En la Edad de Hierro estuvo habitada por la tribu celta de los lobetanos. Se han encontrado importantes pinturas rupestres epipaleolíticas y neolíticas de estilo levantino, esquemático y semiesquemático en el pinar del rodeno. Durante la época romana se llamó, al parecer, Lobetum, y en tiempos de los visigodos, Santa María de Oriente.

Durante el período andalusí, concretamente el siglo XI, el clan bereber de los Banu Razin alcanzó el poder convirtiéndose en la dinastía soberana de la taifa de Albarracín. De este linaje procede el propio nombre de la población (al-Banu Razin: (la ciudad) de los hijos de Razín). De esta magnífica etapa se conservan dos importantes testimonios: la torre del Andador -situada en lo alto del recinto exterior- y el Castillo de Albarracín, que albergó la antigua alcazaba de los Banu Razin.

La taifa pasó posteriormente, por cesión y no por conquista, a la familia cristiana de linaje navarro de los Azagra, que mantuvieron de facto la independencia deCastilla y de Aragón desde 1170, llegando a crear un obispado propio. También el poderoso linaje de Lara ejerció su soberanía sobre Albarracín. Tras el fracaso de conquista por parte de Jaime I en 1220, es Pedro III de Aragón quien la conquistó en 1285 tras sitiarla, pasando definitivamente a la Corona de Aragón en 1300. Esta serie de hechos políticos tuvieron como base la importancia de la fortaleza y del sistema defensivo de Albarracín.

Es una antigua sede episcopal denominada, primero Arcabricense y después Segobricense hasta que, tras la desmembración de las iglesias de Segorbe (Castellón) de las iglesias de Albarracín, paso a denominarse Albarracinense, tras la Bula Papal de Juan Pablo II, mantiene su independencia pero pasa a ser regida por el Obispo de Teruel que es también Obispo de Albarracín.

El 21 de junio de 1257 el rey Jaime I concedió en Teruel a la Comunidad de Santa María de Albarracín o Comunidad de aldeas de Albarracín el privilegio sobre competencia de jurisdicción de sexmeros, asistentes y jurados de dicha Ciudad

Durante la Guerra Civil Española tuvieron lugar en la localidad combates entre las tropas republicanas y las franquistas, cambiando varias veces el control de la población entre ambos bandos. En julio de 1937 tuvo lugar una ofensiva republicana sobre la localidad, constituyendo el mayor enfrentamiento bélico habido en la localidad durante la guerra. En un rápido ataque, el 8 de julio los republicanos se hicieron con el control de la localidad a excepción del Ayuntamiento y la Catedral, en los que permanecieron sitiados militares y civiles que se habían refugiado previamente. Los sublevados reaccionaron enviando refuerzos y el 13 de julio lograron reconquistar la localidad y expulsar a las tropas republicanas.

Elizabeth "Betsy" McCaughey (/məˈkɔɪ/; born Elizabeth Helen Peterken, October 20, 1948), formerly known as Betsy McCaughey Ross, is an American politician who was Lieutenant Governor of New York from 1995 to 1998, during the first term of Governor George Pataki. She unsuccessfully sought the Democratic Party nomination for Governor after Pataki dropped her from his 1998 ticket, and ended up on the ballot under the Liberal party line.

A historian by training, with a Ph.D. from Columbia University, McCaughey has, over the years, provided conservative media commentary on U.S. public policy affecting healthcare-related issues. Her 1993 attack on the Clinton healthcare plan was likely a major factor in the initially-popular bill's defeat in Congress; also, it brought her to the attention of Republican Pataki, who chose her as his Lieutenant Governor nominee/running mate. In 2009, her criticisms of the Affordable Care Act -- then a bill being debated in Congress -- again gained significant media attention in TV and radio interviews, and may have specifically inspired the "death panel" claim about the act.

She has been a fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute and Hudson Institute think tanks, and has written numerous articles and op-eds. She was a member of the boards of directors of medical equipment companies Genta (from 2001 to 2007) and Cantel Medical Corporation, until she resigned in 2009 to avoid the appearance of conflict-of-interest, given her public advocacy against the Affordable Care Act legislation.

Lindsey Olin Graham (born July 9, 1955) is an American politician and member of the Republican Party who serves as the senior United States Senator from South Carolina, in office since 2003.

Born in Central, South Carolina, Graham graduated from the University of South Carolina in 1977. He received his Juris Doctor from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1981. He served in the United States Air Force from 1982 to 1988 and served as a reservist in the South Carolina Air National Guard, attaining the rank of colonel. He worked as a lawyer in private practice before he was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1992, serving one term from 1993 to 1995. He then served in the United States House of Representatives, representing South Carolina's 3rd congressional district from 1995 to 2003. He was elected to four terms, receiving at least 60% of the vote each time.

In 2002, Graham ran for the U.S. Senate after eight-term Republican incumbent Strom Thurmond announced his retirement. Graham won the primary unopposed and defeated Democratic opponent Alex Sanders in the general election. Graham was re-elected to a second term in 2008, defeating Bob Conley. He won a third term in 2014, defeating Democrat Brad Hutto and Independent Thomas Ravenel.

Graham is a leading war hawk and interventionist. He is known for his willingness to be bipartisan and work with Democrats on issues like climate change, tax reform and immigration reform and his belief that judicial nominees should not be opposed solely on their philosophical positions. He is also a critic of the Tea Party movement, arguing for a more inclusive Republican Party.

Scott Kevin Walker (born November 2, 1967) is an American Republican politician who is the 45th Governor of Wisconsin. He is a two-term Governor, elected in 2010 and 2014, who also defeated an effort to recall him in 2012.

Walker began his political career in the state assembly, serving from 1993-2002. After the 2002 resignation of Tom Ament as Executive of Milwaukee County, Walker won in a special election to fill the seat, which he held from 2002 to 2010.

Walker was elected governor of Wisconsin in 2010, defeating the Democratic nominee, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. After being sworn into office in 2011, Walker introduced a budget repair plan which limited many collective bargaining powers for most public employees. The legislation led to significant protests at the Wisconsin State Capitol and an effort to recall Walker. In June 2012, Walker faced Barrett in Wisconsin's only gubernatorial recall election. After emerging as the winner, Walker became the only governor in the U.S. to date to win a gubernatorial recall election.

Walker is seen by many as a potential candidate for the GOP's nomination in the 2016 presidential election, having formed a 527 organization in January of 2015.

Tras el fracaso de conquista por parte de Jaime I en 1220, es Pedro III de Aragón quien la conquistó en 1285 tras sitiarla, pasando definitivamente a la Corona de Aragón en 1300. Esta serie de hechos políticos tuvieron como base la importancia de la fortaleza y del sistema defensivo de Albarracín.

El 21 de junio de 1257 el rey Jaime I concedió en Teruel a la Comunidad de Santa María de Albarracín o Comunidad de aldeas de Albarracín el privilegio sobre competencia de jurisdicción de sexmeros, asistentes y jurados de dicha Ciudad

Durante la Guerra Civil Española tuvieron lugar en la localidad combates entre las tropas republicanas y las franquistas, cambiando varias veces el control de la población entre ambos bandos. En julio de 1937 tuvo lugar una ofensiva republicana sobre la localidad, constituyendo el mayor enfrentamiento bélico habido en la localidad durante la guerra. En un rápido ataque, el 8 de julio los republicanos se hicieron con el control de la localidad a excepción del Ayuntamiento y la Catedral, en los que permanecieron sitiados militares y civiles que se habían refugiado previamente. Los sublevados reaccionaron enviando refuerzos y el 13 de julio lograron reconquistar la localidad y expulsar a las tropas republicanas.

Christopher James "Chris" Christie (born September 6, 1962) is an American politician and member of the Republican Party who has served as the 55th Governor of New Jersey since January 2010.

Born in Newark in 1962, Christie volunteered for the gubernatorial campaign of Republican Thomas Kean when he was 15. A 1984 graduate of the University of Delaware, Christie earned a J.D. at Seton Hall University School of Law. Christie joined a Cranford, New Jersey, law firm in 1987, rose to become a partner in 1993, and continued practicing until 2002. He was elected county legislator in Morris County, serving from 1995 to 1998, during which time he generally pushed for lower taxes and lower spending. By 2002, Christie had campaigned for Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush; the latter appointed him as United States Attorney for New Jersey, a position he held from 2002 to 2008. In that position, he emphasized prosecutions of political corruption and also obtained convictions for sexual slavery, arms trafficking, racketeering by gangs, and other federal crimes.

In January 2009, Christie declared his candidacy for Governor of New Jersey. He won the Republican primary, and defeated incumbent Governor Jon Corzine in the election that November. In 2013, he won re-election as Governor, defeating Democrat Barbara Buono by a margin of over 22%. He was sworn in to a second term as governor on January 21, 2014. On November 21, 2013, Christie was elected Chairman of the Republican Governors Association, succeeding Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.

Christie was seen as a potential candidate in the 2012 presidential election, and though not running, he was the keynote speaker at the 2012 Republican National Convention. He is viewed as a potential presidential candidate in 2016. Following the controversial closure of toll plaza access lanes in Fort Lee in 2013, an internal investigation commissioned by the Governor's Office found no evidence of Christie having prior knowledge of or having directed the closure. Investigations of the affair by United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey and the New Jersey Legislature are ongoing.

Albarracín es una localidad y municipio español del suroeste de la provincia de Teruel, comunidad autónoma deAragón.

La localidad es Monumento Nacional desde 1961; posee la Medalla de Oro al mérito en las Bellas Artes de 1996, y se encuentra propuesta por la Unesco para ser declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la belleza e importancia de su patrimonio histórico.

Se encuentra situada cerca de la antigua ciudad romana de Lobetum. Los árabes llamaron al lugar Alcartam que se derivaría del antiguo topónimo de Ercávida, pasando a denominarse más tarde como Aben Razin, nombre de una familia bereber, de donde se derivaría su nombre actual. Otros opinan que el término «Albarracín» derivaría delcelta alb, 'montaña', y ragin, 'viña', 'uva' o del antropónimo Razin.4

Sin duda el topónimo procede de Ibn (ben) hijo de Razin (reyes taifas de Albarracín desde la fitna hasta Ibn Mardanis, rey Lobo de Murcia. es decir Al lugar de los hijos de Razin, aunque hasta el s. XIX su nombre oficial es Ciudad de Santa María de Albarracín, denominándose en época islámica Santa María de Oriente

El casco antiguo se encuentra construido sobre las faldas de una montaña, rodeada casi en su totalidad por el río Guadalaviar. Al norte se encuentra la sierra de Albarracín, y al sur los montes Universales. Parte de su término municipal está ocupado por el Paisaje protegido de los Pinares de Rodeno.

En los alrededores nacen los ríos Guadalaviar, Tajo, Júcar, Cabriel yJiloca.

Su término municipal es, por razones históricas, uno de los más grandes de la provincia de Teruel (sólo superado por el de Alcañiz) y en él se encuentran las localidades de: Albarracín (capital del municipio), El Cañigral, Las Casillas de Bezas, Collado de la Grulla, Valle Cabriel, El Membrillo, San Pedro y Valdevecar.

El pueblo está encaramado en un peñón y rodeado por el Guadalaviar. Por este lado y mirando hacia el río se hallan edificadas las casas colgadas. Dentro del pueblo sus calles son empinadas y estrechas, con rincones muy pintorescos. La construcción ofrece la original arquitectura popular con la forja propia de la provincia además de tener el color rojizo característico llamado rodeno.

La ciudad se divide en dos zonas:

•la parte antigua, la Ciudad, con sus casas colgadas sobre la hoz del río;

•el Arrabal, situado en la vega del Guadalaviar.

En la Edad de Hierro estuvo habitada por la tribu celta de los lobetanos. Se han encontrado importantes pinturas rupestres epipaleolíticas y neolíticas de estilo levantino, esquemático y semiesquemático en el pinar del rodeno. Durante la época romana se llamó, al parecer, Lobetum, y en tiempos de los visigodos, Santa María de Oriente.

Durante el período andalusí, concretamente el siglo XI, el clan bereber de los Banu Razin alcanzó el poder convirtiéndose en la dinastía soberana de la taifa de Albarracín. De este linaje procede el propio nombre de la población (al-Banu Razin: (la ciudad) de los hijos de Razín). De esta magnífica etapa se conservan dos importantes testimonios: la torre del Andador -situada en lo alto del recinto exterior- y el Castillo de Albarracín, que albergó la antigua alcazaba de los Banu Razin.

La taifa pasó posteriormente, por cesión y no por conquista, a la familia cristiana de linaje navarro de los Azagra, que mantuvieron de facto la independencia deCastilla y de Aragón desde 1170, llegando a crear un obispado propio. También el poderoso linaje de Lara ejerció su soberanía sobre Albarracín.
