Bloomberg not running for president

“I am not — and will not be — a candidate for president,” wrote Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City in today’s New York Times. “…[But] if a candidate takes an independent, nonpartisan approach — and embraces practical solutions that challenge party orthodoxy — I’ll join others in helping that candidate win the White House.”

• What is Bearing Drift?

  Bearing Drift was established in 2004. The name comes from the relative motion of objects at sea. If there is no bearing drift, and the distance between you and the object is closing, there will be a collision; therefore, action must be taken. Most navigational rules say to avoid collision, turn to starboard -- the right!
