Janet Napolitano announced today that she would be stepping down as the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security in early September to take a senior post at the University of California.In a letter to DHS staff, Napolitano said she was being recommended to the University of California Board of Regents to be the University of California's next president. This will be the first time a woman will lead the 10-campus system in its 145-year history.She called her four-plus years at the agency as the highlight of her professional career.

It is a scary thought about who/what act will follow. Also makes this little sideshow in the SenNot more significant I believe.
The Democrat-controlled Senate, led by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D–NV), is considering unprecedented changes to the filibuster—exercising the so-called “nuclear option”—in order to push through votes on President Obama’s nominees for Cabinet positions and agency posts.

My money is on J. Lieberman.
He originally proposed the DHS, is tough on Islamic extremism and likes military spending.
A conservative Dim is still a Dim, though.
Yeah, but how much did he "contribute" to the O campaign?
Researchers Johannes W. Fedderke and Dennis C. Jett, both professors at Pennsylvania State University, have found that about 30 percent of diplomatic posts were appointed by the president and that political ambassadors who made campaign donations of $550,000 or bundled contributions of $750,000 had a 90 percent chance of being posted to a safe and robust country in Western Europe.

She saw SharkNado on Syfy last night and decided she needed to get out before it happened on her watch.

TRThe head of the UC Regents is clearly not entitled to a Diversity Award in this case.
(It also ditches yet another connection to tainted goods for 2014.)
HEY! Holder! Yeah... YOU! Are you watching?

He could probably tag team with Flynn in Milwaukee, but it's that 'Apple' thing.
NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly criticized the secrecy surrounding the National Security Agency on Monday, saying Americans would likely be comfortable knowing their conversations are monitored.
“I don't think it ever should have been made secret. I think the American public can accept the fact if you tell them that every time you pick up the phone it's going to be recorded and goes to the government,” Kelly said at an event dedicating two new harbor patrol boats.
“I think the public can understand that.”
Top-secret NSA documents leaked by Edward Snowden this month revealed the NSA gathers revealing data on phone calls in bulk, but does not actually listen in on the conversations themselves.
Kelly also called for more oversight of the NSA if Snowden’s allegations that the surveillance system is ripe for abuse are true.
“The question is ‘What sort of oversight is there inside the NSA to prevent that abuse, if it's taking place?’” Kelly said.

Just the kind of "balanced" and "common-sense" stuff that gets the current pansies in the confirmation committees to ultimately check the box on someone.

Badger,
I'm certain whoever it is will be a surprise. At least the departure is after the August recess so that loophole doesn't avail itself.
Current administration focus upon rewarding loyalty and insiders will most likely play out....
