Stabilize your photos and video with high quality tripods and mounts. Our tripods, tripod heads, window mounts and adapters give you reliably steady results every time.
There is no accessory more important to a camera than the tripod. These two companions have been together for as long as photographers have been able to capture images. A tripod is a three-legged stand that provides your camera with support and stability as you capture an image to avoid blurriness. For videographers, not only does a tripod provide a steady shot, but it also allows for seamless pans and zooms when filming a moving image.
Adorama.com offers the finest selection of tripods and photography support for the professional and home consumer alike. As you browse through the latest Manfrotto or Cartoni tripod models, you should always keep in mind what your purpose for these amazing support systems. Photographers and videographers have different needs when it comes to their equipment. A photographer more than likely wants a lighter and more maneuverable tripod made of a lightweight material such as aluminum, while a videographer may lean towards heavier alloys with wider legs to support heavier camera gear.
As you seek out that incredible new Gitzo tripod, don't forget about the importance of the tripod's head. This imperative connector between the stability of the tripod and the camera itself must offer dependable support. With an inferior tripod head, you not only risk losing the perfect shot, but also the expensive camera. Adorama.com understands this concept and provides their customers with an impressive variety of tripod heads and quick release plate systems. Photographers and videographers alike should look for the best fluidity and superior range of motion to accompany their sturdy tripod.
Adorama.com caters to the individual needs of both videographers and photographers. Likewise, it also serves the videographers who marvel over the vast selection of camera dollies, stands, and pedestals as well as car mounts and monopods. This individualized attention will help videographers and filmmakers of every level achieve their vision when composing shots.
When trying to find the right tripod system that works best for you, please take advantage of Adorama.com's impressive and knowledgeable customer service experts. Adorama wants their customers to purchase the right tripod and components to exceed their expectations and look forward to answering any equipment question you can imagine.

Boxes is a text filter that can draw any kind of box around its input text. Box design choices range from simple boxes to complex ASCII art. A box can also be removed and repaired, even if it has been badly damaged by editing of the text inside. Since the generated boxes may be open on any side, the program can also be used to create regional comments in any programming language. New box designs of all sorts can easily be added and shared by appending to a free format configuration file. In addition to being a command line tool, Boxes integrates well with any text editor that supports filters.

nexB OpenAssets is a tool for inventorying, managing, and monitoring applications, software, hardware, networks, and generally any IT asset. It is designed so that system administrators, IT, and finance can determine what they have, how it is configured, what it is used for, and how much it is being used, so that informed decisions can be made. It complements existing network management software, integrates with a growing number of protocols and tools, and features no-agent discovery and inventory, configuration management including dependencies and correlation, monitoring, and reporting. It makes extensive and innovative use of XML, Xpath, and Xquery.
SportsTracker is an application for recording sporting activities. It is not bound to a specific kind of sport, as categories can be created for all sport types, such as cycling, running, or tennis. The main advantages are the good overview of your exercises and the easy creation of exercise statistics for specific time ranges and sport types. Users of heart rate monitors (Polar and CicloSport) can import, display (including diagrams), and organize the recorded exercise data.
CTL is a cross-platform control dispatching tool that makes it easy to automate any kind of distributed systems management or application provisioning task. Rather than writing complex and error-prone scripts that over utilize "for loops", CTL handles the network dispatching for you and allows you to focus on the actual management tasks you need to accomplish. In addition to being a dispatching tool, CTL comes with pre-built cross-platform utilities so you don't have to script actions like file distribution or process and port checking. You can also write your own custom utilities and share them with others in your organization. Custom utilities are defined in XML, and your scripting can be done in multiple scripting languages (Perl, Python, etc.), *nix shell, Windows batch, and/or Ant.
Lilith is a logging and access event viewer for the Logback logging framework. It has features comparable to Chainsaw, a logging event viewer for log4j. This means that it can receive logging events from remote applications using Logback as their logging backend. It uses files to buffer the received events locally, so it is possible to keep vast amounts of logging events at your fingertip while still being able to check only the ones you are really interested in by using filtering conditions.
MuleSoft Tcat Server is enterprise Tomcat made simple: a fully supported Tomcat server that allows developers to easily build and test today's connected Web applications, and that simplifies Tomcat management and application provisioning tasks for administrators.

Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.
College students: Beware of identity thieves
After attending a special summit this summer at the Milwaukee County Sheriff's
However, the main presenter at the summit, Special Agent Wayne Ivey of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement cautioned that "No one is immune." That includes the young.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) reports that during 2009, young people aged 20 to 29 nationwide filed the highest number of identity theft complaints. The department is concerned about young victims, especially college students, and rightfully so.
The 2010 Identity Fraud Survey Report released by Javelin Strategy & Research discovered that 18 to 24 year olds are the slowest to detect identity fraud. The report states, "Millennials (consumers aged 18 to 24 years old) take nearly twice as many days to detect fraud, compared to other age groups, and thus are fraud victims for longer periods of time. Millennials were found to be the least likely group to monitor accounts regularly and take advantage of monitoring programs offered by financial institutions."
"Identity thieves don't care if you're a struggling student and don't have a penny to your name. Sometimes all they want is to exploit your clean credit record," says Angie Barnett, President and CEO of the Greater Maryland Better Business Bureau.
School is back in session. College students away from home share living arrangements in dormitories. Not all personal belongings are under lock and key. It's a perfect scenario for identity thieves.
The Wisconsin DATCP urges college students to take precautions to avoid becoming victimized.
Check your credit report on a regular basis to see if there are any unexplainable debts or creditors. Free credit reports can be obtained from any of the three credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion by calling 1-877-322-8228 or online at www.annualcreditreport.com.
Your mail is critical, one of the easiest and most popular targets of identity thieves. Shred or dispose of mail in a safe manner. Open all junk mail before disposing. A pre-approved credit card offer could be filled out by someone else in your name. Want to opt out of getting pre-approved credit card offers? Call toll-free 1-888-5OPTOUT (567-8688) or by go to www.optoutprescreen.com.
Have sensitive mail sent to your parents' home or a PO Box.
Review your bills and bank statements immediately for unauthorized expenditures or withdrawals. Report them immediately to your bank or credit card company. If you pay bills online, check your account periodically.
Do not leave written personal numbers, user names, or passwords where someone can steal them. Retaining this information to memory is best.
Beware of phishing scams used by thieves attempting to get you to divulge personal information over the telephone. Special Agent Ivey gave this advice at the identity theft summit. Ask yourself, why would a company I do business with every day suddenly need my private information? DATCP warns, "Never give out personally identifiable information unless you are the one who initiated the contact."
Place firewall, virus, spam, and spyware protection on your computer. Never leave your computer on unattended. The 2010 Identity Fraud Survey Report found that "Millennials were the most likely group to take action such as installing anti-malware software when they discover fraud."
For more information about identity theft, visit www.privacy.wi.gov.
Making Wisconsin's economic disaster even worse
For the past few months,
Nationally, the 89,526 state and local government units employed 16.6 million during 2009. The Census Bureau describes the figure as 'statistically unchanged from 2008.' The same holds true for part time employees that number 4.7 million during 2009, approximately the same number as 2008.
The Census Bureau detailed specific areas of employment for state and local government employees. Most, 8.9 million, work in education. Another one million work in hospitals. Other areas include police protection (963,139), and corrections (759,513).
Keep in mind that during the 2002 gubernatorial campaign, Jim Doyle promised he would eliminate 10,000 state jobs by 2010. WisGOP.org reported during May 2009, 'To date, the administration has actually taken on an extra 3,000 jobs since Doyle took office'."
State statutes require budget requests by the various state agencies be submitted to the State Budget Office not later than September 15 of each even-numbered year.
The Wisconsin Associated Press reported July 9, 2010:
"Outgoing Gov. Jim Doyle, a Democrat, ordered state agencies to continue holding open vacant positions and freezing compensation for employees. He said they should develop their budget requests not expecting any increase in revenue, and develop plans to cut their core budgets by 10 percent by Nov. 8, only a few days after the election."
Governor Doyle's agency leaders weren't paying attention, didn't listen, or both.
The Wheeler Report, a news agency that covers the state Capitol, has been crunching the numbers of the agency budget requests that have trickled in thus far. It discovered that agency budget requests are at least $1.1 BILLION over current approved spending. Here are the numbers.
Needless to say these enormous requests are unacceptable. The next Governor and Legislature must produce a budget in line with current household and business economies.

Election Day is November 2....let's vote today
"Never mind that October is filled to the brim with televised debates, advertising pitches and eager anticipation from candidates waiting to see if they win the endorsement of their local newspaper's editorial page. These old political rituals take place after millions of voters have already selected their candidates.
Unelected tax and spenders need to be accountable
A blistering article about the Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was stunning. However, it was not surprising. The newspaper reports:
The Journal Sentinel also reports, "MATC already sets its property tax rate at the maximum amount allowed, and other revenue options are limited."
The MATC Board is in the process of formulating next year's budget that assuredly will include a property tax increase with the question being, the amount increase.
MATC is one of the state's 16 technical colleges. Consider the total tax levies for the schools. According to the non-partisan Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance, the technical college tax levies have increased from $251 million during 1992-'93 to $622 million during 2005-'06. That's an increase of almost 150 percent compared to a 75 percent increase in overall levies during the same time period. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau reports property tax levies for the technical colleges increased to $680.6 million during 2007-08.
Technical college property tax hikes are considered by, voted on, and approved by unelected technical college boards that are free to raise tax levies leaving powerless taxpayers without recourse. The process is the perfect example of taxation without representation.

The Wisconsin Legislative Audit Bureau (LAB) completed a statutorily-required financial audit of the Wisconsin Health Insurance Risk-Sharing Plan (HIRSP) Authority for 2009. The report a) examined financial statements and b) made a recommendation about internal access to the Authority's pharmacy records.
The HIRSP Authority offers medical and prescription drug insurance to individuals unable to obtain private insurance or who have lost their group coverage provided by an employer. Participants must be Wisconsin residents that are not eligible for employer-sponsored group insurance, Medicaid, or
Policyholder premiums, financial assessments on health insurance companies that do business in
HIRSP enrollment continues to increase this year. As of August 31, 2010, there were 17,944 policyholders. Increasing enrollment is attributed to reduced premiums, increased income limits for subsidies, and individuals that have lost employer-sponsored coverage exhausting their COBRA benefits.
The LAB reports the HIRSP Authority has kept a sound financial position with a total net asset balance at the end of 2009 of $27.5 million. Helping the HIRSP Authority remain strong has been a transition to higher-deductible plans, an increased use of generic rather than brand-name drugs, and reduced utilization. The LAB surmises this could be the result of improved health of the policyholders.
New light bulbs not so green after all
Traditional, incandescent light bulbs Americans have been using for years are being phased out. Taking their place: fluorescent bulbs that have been mandated by the federal government. Part of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 approved and signed into law during 2007 calls for the elimination of traditional light bulbs beginning in 2012 leading to an all-out ban in 2014 in favor of energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs or CFLs that contain mercury. When broken, the bulbs leak mercury into surroundings, requiring extreme caution and care.
According to Governing Magazine, the problems associated with CFLs will only get worse. The first supplies of CFLs that were purchased during 2008 will start to lose their life during 2011. Certainly many consumers will simply dump them in the garbage and their next stop will be local landfills all across the
One bulb contains but a tiny amount of mercury, but it is estimated that 290 million CFLs were sold during 2007. As Governing Magazine reports, "Once mercury reaches a landfill, the risk of its being released remains forever." Landfill operation failures could result in mercury being released into groundwater and the air.
A more recent analysis questions the green claims made about LEDs or light-emitting devices. A study was conducted by the highly-regarded Sandia National Laboratories in
"Solid-state lighting pioneers long have held that replacing the inefficient Edison light bulb with more efficient solid-state light-emitting devices (LEDs) would lower electrical usage worldwide, not only 'greenly' decreasing the need for new power plants but even permitting some to be decommissioned. But, in a paper published in the Journal of Physics D, leading LED researchers from Sandia National Laboratories argue for a shift in that view. 'Presented with the availability of cheaper light, humans may use more of it, as has happened over recent centuries with remarkable consistency following other lighting innovations,' said Sandia lead researcher Jeff Tsao."
Here is the Sandia release.
In Washington D.C., Representatives Joe Barton, Michael Burgess, and Marsha Blackburn want to repeal the ban on traditional light bulbs. Representative Burgess told the blog, Power Line, "Thousands of American jobs have been shipped overseas as a direct consequence of this light bulb provision in the Democrats' 2007 energy bill. Further, I have stated all along that exposing our citizens to the harmful effects of the mercury contained in CFL light bulbs, which are being manufactured in China, is likely to pose a hazard for years to come."
Representative Barton said, "The unanticipated consequence of the '07 act - Washington-mandated layoffs in the middle of a desperate recession - is one of many examples of what happens when politicians and activists think they know better than consumers and workers, From the health insurance you're allowed to have, to the car you can drive, to the light bulbs you can buy, Washington is making too many decisions that are better left to people who work for their own paychecks and earn their own living."
I wholeheartedly concur.
Want to reduce poverty? Say "I do"
Poverty tightens its grip on
The U.S. Census Bureau reports poverty increased to 14.3 percent during 2009 from 13.2 percent the previous year. The percentage of Americans living in poverty is the highest level since 1994.
The Census Bureau reports one in seven Americans or 43.6 million people lived in poverty during 2009, up from 39.8 million during 2008. The poverty threshold for a family of four during 2009 was set at $21,954 by the federal government.
So what are the solutions? Certainly, more jobs and more Americans staying in school and finishing their education come to mind.
How about strengthening families and the institution of marriage? Marriage is directly linked to poverty. A new study by the Heritage Foundation calls marriage

Odds are clearly stacked against single-parent families with children that are nearly six times more likely to be poor than married couples. Factors working against single-mother families are lower education levels of the mothers and lower income due to the absence of fathers.
DNR wants public input on condition of WI waters
Residents statewide are encouraged by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to submit data they have personally collected about Wisconsin waterways that will be used to identify waters failing to meet water quality standards.
Information can be submitted now through December 31, 2010 that will help the DNR compile a list of the state's impaired waters as part of the biennial water quality report required by Congress. The DNR reports about 1,000 lake volunteers and another 2,000 stream volunteers are actively involved in water monitoring programs.
The goal is to help state officials pinpoint lakes and rivers in need of clean-up and allocate scarce resources to those areas.

Socking it to the wealthy comes up woefully short
The Heritage Foundation has been carefully analyzing the impact of President Obama's tax and spending proposals. The President claims he will raise taxes, and the increases will only be imposed on the wealthy.
The implication is clear. President Obama hopes most Americans will have a knee-jerk reaction that the wealthy can afford higher taxes, so why not? The Heritage Foundation says because spending is so out of whack, the president's plan does not come close to fixing the economy:
"Obama's current tax hike plan would raise the top two income tax rates from 33 and 35 percent to 36 and 39.6 percent, respectively. This tax hike will take effect on January 1, 2011, if he has his way and will slow the already badly struggling economy. This will keep unemployed Americans out of work longer and suppress the wages of those fortunate enough to retain their jobs. In fact, the higher tax rates Obama calls for will destroy an average of 800,000 jobs per year by the end of the decade and lower incomes by $720 billion over that same period. Over the next 10 years, the Obama tax hikes will take almost $700 billion from taxpayers. That is only 8 percent of the nearly $9 trillion President Obama's budget adds in debt over that same period."
The Heritage Foundations reaches the proper conclusion:
"Low tax revenues are not the cause of the debt explosion; spending is. If President Obama and Congress committed to spending reductions, the deficit could be lowered to more acceptable levels without raising taxes a dime."

Wisconsin school spending continues to increase
The nonpartisan Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance (WISTAX) provides some revealing data in its latest SchoolFacts report. Among WISTAX's findings:
Since 1999-2000 (school year), per student spending has risen an average of 4.0% per year.
The increase in spending came in spite of state cuts in school aids and allowable revenue increases.
General (school) aids were reduced 2.9%.
The drop in general school aids resulted in above-average school property tax increases.
Total school levies rose 6.0% in 2009-10, the sixth increase over 5% in the past seven years.
School property tax increases topped 10% in 116 districts, compared to 72 last year.
Another 151 had levies rise between 5% and 10%, versus 115 in 2008-09.
A new development this year was 98 districts that did not tax to the maximum allowable under state law, including 47 that levied property taxes at least 5% under their limits."

Here comes more ethanol
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has decided to allow up to 15 percent ethanol in gas for cars made after 2007. Currently, gasoline contains up to 10 percent ethanol.
Photo: NPR
Concerns are already being raised. The Wall Street Journal reports:
"Auto makers and oil marketers have expressed concern that use of gasoline with higher ethanol content may harm engines, particularly in older models, leaving a big bill to honor vehicle warranties. Some leisure boat owners--who already use a higher ethanol/gasoline blend--are already suing fuel suppliers. Refiners can choose to buy credits to meet the government's existing renewable fuels mandate instead of blending more ethanol into their mix. Gasoline stations will have to ensure that fuel dispensers, pipes and tanks are certified for use with the higher ethanol usage or replace them to avoid potential lawsuits for any vehicle damage. Pumps will have to be clearly labeled as E10 (for a 10% ethanol blend) or E15 (for 15% blend) but that may not be enough to prevent misfueling, industry associations said."
Adding to worries is that ethanol demand creates competition between food and fuel.
The newspaper also reports that ethanol producers gave only "a cautious welcome' to the EPA news. One trade group official that supports alternative fuels admits the jury is still on E15.

If the Bush tax cuts expire, how much will it cost you?
If Congress fails to take action by the end of the year to extend the so-called Bush-era tax cuts, Americans will suffer a big jolt to their pocketbooks. Tax Foundation President Scott Hodge says, "Most federal income tax rates will rise, the estate tax and the marriage penalty will return, capital gains taxes will rise, and more."
The key question is what will be the direct impact on you, the individual American taxpayer if the Bush tax cuts go away? To supply the answer, the Tax Foundation has created a free online calculator that will inform how your 2011 income taxes will change under the following possibilities:
1) The tax cuts expire.
2) The tax cuts are extended.
3) President Obama's budget is enacted.
4) Congress passes a tax bill with a statutory pay-as-you-go provision.
The Tax Foundation provides this example. A married couple filing jointly making $80,000 with two children would pay $2,137 more in federal income taxes next year if Congress fails to extend the Bush tax cuts.

Overseas ballots still available
With the November elections just around the corner, some states have experienced problems getting ballots to military personnel and citizens overseas. The Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs offers an easy answer to any voter overseas that has yet to receive a ballot: obtain your ballot online. On its website, the Department posts an article from the American Forces Press Service that reports:
"Local elections officials are encouraged to make use of the Federal Voting Assistance Program's Electronic Transmission Service (ETS) for overseas faxes to reduce costs. ETS will also forward e-mails to military and overseas citizens. Additionally, voters from all 55 states and territories can use the FVAP online federal write-in absentee ballot automated assistant to vote for at least all federal candidates.
(Bob) Carey (Federal Voting Assistance Program director) said the federal absentee ballot can be used for all jurisdictions' federal-level elections. 'You can choose your federal candidates online,' he said. 'It will print out the ballot with your choices already in there, and give you complete instructions including a pre-addressed envelope to send back to your local election officials'."
Carey confirms absentee ballots are still available.

UW research brings hope for ovarian cancer
I was pleased to attend a presentation today by the Wisconsin Ovarian Cancer Alliance in the Senate Parlor at the state Capitol that brought exciting news. The University of Wisconsin Medical School is on the cutting edge of ovarian cancer research.
Presenters included Manish Patankar and Joseph Connor, both Assistant Professors at the UW Medical School Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The school received a two-year pilot study grant during June from the National Institute of Health (NIH) to fine tune research on the cancer 125 (CA-125) molecule. Obtaining the grant is noteworthy since the NIH rejects about 90 percent of grant applications received.
The CA-125 molecule is a large molecule made on the surface of cancer cells that sheds into the bloodstream. UW researchers made the discovery that CA-125 attaches or sticks onto immune cells in the body. A healthy immune cell can suppress a cancer cell. CA 125 is seen in pelvic disorders.
Ovarian cancer patients have donated blood and tissue, allowing researchers to analyze CA-125 and learn more about its functions inside the body. UW researchers want to create an antibody therapy that will target CA-125 molecules stuck on ovarian cancer cells.
More than 21,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer annually, and more than 15,000 women die from the disease each year, according to the American Cancer Society.
I commend Professors Patankar and Connor for their dedication to saving women's lives and wish them continued success.

The details make this issue fascinating. Voters will decide whether the state sales tax in
Proponents say the lower sales tax will increase commerce, create more private sector jobs, and will allow residents to keep more of their own money. Opponents say the tax cut will create a bigger hole in the state's deficit.
The question will be interesting to watch Election Day given the current mood of voters. The ballot measure reads:
"Do you approve of a law summarized below, on which no vote was taken by the Senate or the House of Representatives before May 4, 2010?
This proposed law would reduce the state sales and use tax rates (which were 6.25 percent as of September 2009) to 3 percent as of Jan. 1, 2011. It would make the same reduction in the rate used to determine the amount to be deposited with the state Commissioner of Revenue by non-resident building contractors as security for the payment of sales and use tax on tangible personal property used in carrying out their contracts.
The proposed law provides that if the 3 percent rates would not produce enough revenues to satisfy any lawful pledge of sales and use tax revenues in connection with any bond, note, or other contractual obligation, then the rates would instead be reduced to the lowest level allowed by law.
The proposed law would not affect the collection of moneys due the Commonwealth for sales, storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property or services occurring before Jan. 1, 2011.
The proposed law states that if any of its parts were declared invalid, the other parts would stay in effect.
A YES VOTE would reduce the state sales and use tax rates to 3 percent.
A NO VOTE would make no change in the state sales and use tax rates."
America is not ready for online voting
We can put a man on the moon, create a computer chip the size of a human white blood cell capable of storing the Declaration of Independence, and develop a device that propels a blade of water to penetrate steel that our troops use to disable improvised explosive devices.
Yet...we cannot vote online?
Seems like a logical question. Internet users make purchases, banking transactions, pay bills, and send various communications across the globe. However, when it comes to elections, hitting the send button has yet to be perfected. Given a recent experiment in the nation's capital, the notion of online voting should probably be sent back to the drawing board.
The plan was called Digital Vote by Mail, a never-before attempted technology. Overseas voters could receive, print and mail their ballot. A voter could opt to also digitally mark and return a ballot.
Between September 24, 2010 and September 30, 2010, Digital Vote by Mail was given a practice run with testers logging in as fictitious voters, requesting and submitting absentee ballots.

July 23, 2009, I testified before a Government Accountability Board (GAB) public hearing at
"The Government Accountability Board, in its own report during March of this year admits there are drawbacks. The Board cited a Caltech/MIT report that raised worries about absentee and mail-in voting including the potential for voters being coerced because privacy could be compromised, for example, by family or staff at a nursing home. There are also concerns about mail security and voter fraud. The possibility of uncounted, unmarked, or spoiled absentee ballots was also mentioned in the report.
Expanding early voting has the potential of catching on and becoming popular. However, if such a system were to be implemented, every precaution must be taken to prevent fraud. As for me, one of the best changes we could and should make to our election process is to require a photo ID to vote."
Ultimately, the GAB recommended against early voting and instead advocated improvements in
The same caution about early voting needs to be exercised about online voting.

Are you waiting until Tuesday to vote?
Most voters cast their ballots on Election Day. However, a growing percentage of voters is opting to vote early.
Early voting has proven to be flawed. Deroy Murdock, a media fellow with the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at
Linda Chavez, chairman of the Center for Equal Opportunity prefers to vote on Election Day and admits being "self-righteous" on the topic. Chavez writes that early voting "eliminates an important public exercise of civic duty, one that helps build a sense of community and responsibility. Election Day is the only time citizens come together in their communities in one place at one time to engage in an important civic activity. When I go to the polls on Tuesday, I will see my neighbors, meet political volunteers, and judge for myself how well election officials are handling their duties."
Deroy Murdock and Linda Chavez are both right.
Murdock says, "Physically voting at the polls is a vital exercise in self-government. It also gives election officials a chance to deter or catch cheaters. Voting at home while clad in a towel prevents such scrutiny."
"Step one is for the American people to march valiantly to the polls Tuesday and dislodge those who have brought the country to this point. Then, with a new Congress rededicated to limited government, public integrity, accountability, and the rule of law, the American people should demand photo-ID requirements at the polls, serious jail time for vote fraudsters, a rollback in absentee ballots and early voting, and other steps to establish voting norms worthy of the Home of the Brave."
Ultimately, Linda Chavez nails it:
"Choosing our elected officials is the most important thing we do as Americans. Is it really too much to ask that we set aside a few minutes every two years to go to the polls and cast our vote?"
REMINDER: Transportation referendum on the ballot

How did this referendum get on the ballots in almost three quarters of the counties in the state?
During three consecutive biennial state budgets, Governor Doyle raided the state's transportation fund. Here is the history, provided by the Legislative Fiscal Bureau (LFB) in an informational paper published during January 2009:
"The 2003-05 budget act used a combination of direct appropriations from the transportation fund for general fund programs (shared revenue and K-12 education aids) and a transfer of revenues from the transportation fund to the general fund, for a total of $675.0 million."
First raid = $675 million.
Back to the LFB:
"The 2005-07 biennial budget act made a transfer of $427.0 million from the transportation fund to the general fund, but did not make any direct appropriations from the transportation fund to general fund programs."
Second raid = $427 million.
Again, from the LFB:
"The 2007-09 budget act (Act 20) and the 2008-09 budget adjustment act (Act 226) together resulted in a transfer of $155 million from the transportation fund to the general fund. "
Third raid = $155 million.
The six-year total of transfers and appropriations from the transportation fund = $1.257 billion.
The LFB reports the use of replacement bonds offset the transfers ($865.5 million), however the debt service paid from the transportation fund during the 2003-05 biennium ($43.9 million) adds to the loss.
The LFB concludes, "Therefore, the total loss to the transportation fund over the six years equals $435.4 million."
That's $435.4 million unavailable for the use it was intended: road projects statewide.

Honky Tonk Man
Real Name
Roy Ferris
Date of Birth
January 25, 1953
Place of Birth
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Charles Robinson had suffered a gruesome injury while working with the ring crew at a WWE live event in Saudi Arabia. The longtime referee nearly lost his thumb, but fortunately, the company doctor was able to save it. The story was actually big enough for TMZ to pick up. The mainstream gossip website even posted some graphic images of the thumb.
April 22, 2014
While a lot of people were under the assumption that his career as a professional wrestler was over after he suffered a serious neck injury, Jesse Sorensen has shown that there is life after TNA. He has been wrestling on a pretty frequent basis on the independent wrestling circuit. Sorensen is even booked for a big show next month that also features Matt Hardy, Chris Masters, Carlito and John Morrison.
April 21, 2014
While he is not a well known name to WWE fans yet, Enzo Amore is currently in the plans with the company. The developmental wrestler recently made his return to WWE NXT from a leg injury that he suffered towards the end of 2013. Management feels that he has some potential, even though he is not currently anywhere near the head of the line to be called up to the main roster.
April 18, 2014
Days after disputing internet reports about his injury, it has now been revealed that Darren Young has suffered a torn ACL, which will keep him on the sidelines for the remainder of the year. The injury took place at a WWE live event last Saturday night. Since Young wasn't being pushed on television, management does not have to change much.
April 16, 2014
At a live event in Texas over the weekend, Darren Young might have suffered some sort of injury. His match with Fandango was extremely short, and the ending was awkward, as Young was counted out after delivering a flying ax handle. Agents came out to the ringside area to check on Young and helped him limp backstage.
April 13, 2014
During WWE Main Event, it appeared that Dean Ambrose had suffered a serious rib injury. It looks like the Shield member is fine enough to keep working. He will be making an appearance on Smackdown this week, and Ambrose is not currently scheduled to miss any of the live events taking place over the next couple of days.
April 10, 2014
While he managed to avoid an injury after taking an over the top rope dive at Wrestlemania 30, Kofi Kingston might have been injured during his taped match against Titus ONeil during WWE Superstars. He was limping noticeably and required some help to leave the arena. Some believe that he might be willing to work through the injury if it is not too bad.
April 9, 2014
The belief backstage in WWE is that Road Dogg is going to be winding down his days as an active in ring performer now that Wrestlemania 30 is over and done with. His tag team partner Billy Gunn suffered an injury during the big six man tag team match at the pay per view, so management is contemplating a scenario where they are written off of television.
April 8, 2014
WWE.com is reporting that Billy Gunn suffered a serious injury during his match against Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 30. The report reveals that he was coughing up blood backstage after taking the triple power bomb from the Shield at the end of the match. No word yet on whether this is a story line or a legitimate injury.
April 7, 2014
While management still has not completely decided on the main event finish at Wrestlemania 30, there are rumors already floating around that Batista is being moved into a feud against Sheamus after this. Aside from being a fresh feud, management views it as a possible way to give some momentum to Sheamus, who has been floundering since making his return to WWE from injury.
April 3, 2014
"The friendship came together when we got together professionally back in 2002 and realized just how similar our goals were both professionally and personally. On a professional level, we both want to be the absolute best at our craft. We will settle for nothing less than being at the top of our game at every appearance and we want to leave a legacy of being the single, solitary best in that particular role the industry has ever seen. On a personal level, nothing means more to either one of us than our children and we will fight to the death for our children. And everything that we do including everything we do professionally revolves around, is about and is regarding the love that we have for our children. So both professionally and personally as much as we are different, you're talking about a South Dakota farm boy that is a natural born predator and conqueror and a smart ass New York Jew boy who's the son of a personal injury attorney from the Bronx. But as different as we are culturally, we are in terms as professionally and personally, we are very much alike." - Paul Heyman discusses his relationship with Brock Lesnar
April 1, 2014
Since she was recently announced as a participant in a Wrestlemania 30 match, rumor has it that Aksana is doing much better with management backstage. She has been in and out of the dog house for quite some time. Her inclusion at the pay per view suggests that WWE is no longer as upset with her for the eye injury to Naomi Knight.
March 26, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, fans witnessed the return of Naomi Knight from a severe eye injury that kept her on the sidelines for several weeks. They also noticed the eye patch that she was wearing as she teamed up with Cameron to take on AJ Lee and Tamina Snuka. Naomi actually does not need the patch, but is keeping it on for Total Divas.
March 18, 2014
When a performer goes to the sidelines, often times, WWE will give their spots to someone else on the card. Since that did not happen to Naomi Knight, who was sidelined for several weeks with a serious eye injury, the consensus is that management is very high on her. She is still being penciled for a match against AJ Lee at Wrestlemania 30.
March 18, 2014
There are talks that Naomi Knight could be returning to WWE as early as the next episode of Monday Night Raw. She has been on the sidelines for the last couple of weeks because of a serious eye injury. Management really wants her to be featured at Wrestlemania 30, so her story line with AJ Lee and the Divas championship could be reignited soon.
March 14, 2014
There are those within WWE that want the tag team championship defended at Wrestlemania 30, and the favored match involves Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn. However, the chances of that happening all fall upon Road Dogg, who is currently suffering from a back injury. The Usos could be thrown into the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal if Road Dogg cannot work the tag match.
March 13, 2014
With the company souring on AJ Lee because of the CM Punk situation, there are now talks that the Wrestlemania 30 spot will be going to three Total Divas cast member. A triple threat match is being discussed involving Natalya Neidhart, Nikki Bella and Naomi Knight, who should be returning from a severe eye injury in time for the pay per view.
March 12, 2014
In a well kept secret, Bobby Lashley made his return to professional wrestling by answering the open challenge set by Ethan Carter, who was originally supposed to face Kurt Angle until an real life injury took out the Olympic gold medalist, at TNA Lockdown 2014. A quick brawl ensued, which was won by Lashley.
March 9, 2014
Earlier, it was revealed that Road Dogg and Billy Gunn were both banged up, so WWE opted to put the tag team championship on Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. Word is coming out now that Road Dogg has a bad back. He noted that was receiving treatment for the injury, and there is still a possibility that he ends up working the Wrestlemania 30 card.
March 8, 2014
Over the weekend, John Cena worked a steel cage match at a live event in South Carolina against Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. After he lost, he addressed the audience by apologizing for his performance. He told fans that his rumored knee injury was actually a groin injury. He stated that he should be resting up instead of performing.
March 1, 2014
A very rare video of a match where the Honky Tonk Man defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Bruno Sammartino, the former world heavyweight champion, back in 1987.
April 21, 2014
Through Twitter, Honky Tonk Man posted this rather interesting message about having to buy his own ticket to New Orleans during Wrestlemania 30 weekend. He mentioned something about WWE screwing him over. The former Intercontinental Champion is in town for WrestleCon, and it does not appear that he was invited to the big event on Sunday night.
April 6, 2014
Here is a picture of the new house that the Honky Tonk Man purchased thanks to the increase in value of the WWE stocks.
March 3, 2014
Prior to become a professional wrestler, the Honky Tonk Man had another career in mind. After graduating from college with an education degree, he became a high school football coach. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion only did that job for two years before deciding that he wanted to try something different.
March 2, 2014
Through Twitter, the Honky Tonk Man posted a picture of his new house, and the former Intercontinental Champion noted that it was all thanks to WWE stocks being on the rise. The belief is that HTM purchased the stocks personally, as there has not been a lot of performers who have been given shares of the company.
March 1, 2014
Through this Twitter post, Honky Tonk Man bashed TNA, where he posted a picture of a stage wagon. He called it the TNA tour bus. No word yet on whether the former WWE Intercontinental Champion is just being playful or if he has some backstage heat towards Dixie Carter and her company.
February 20, 2014
Ricky Steamboat defeated Randy Savage in a classic match at Wrestlemania 3 to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship, but that reign did not last too long. Just two months later, he has now lost the title to the Honky Tonk Man at a television taping in Buffalo, New York. Steamboat is taking some time off.
June 2, 1987

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.
