Community Acupuncture Albuquerque

$15-$35 sliding scale

The three months of summer (May 4th- Aug 4th) are called
"flourishing and beautiful". The qis of Heaven and Earth
interact, the ten thousand things flower and become real and
solid. Go to bed late and rise early. Do not be
harsh or too strict in the daytime, keep your emotions free of anger in
order to encourage things to flower and fill out in their
beauty. Allow the qi to flow out, as though in love with the
whole wide world. This is to resonate with the qi of summer,
the dao of nourishing and extending.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncturists treat many health problems using fine needles inserted at particular points around the body. Acupuncture is based in the system of Chinese Medicine which has several thousand years of history including medical books that date back to 100BCE. The Chinese developed a meridian or channel map that connects hands, feet and head areas to internal organs and other parts of the body. It can be likened to a house with electric wires which turn on lights, heaters, the refrigerator etc. at different switches. Acupuncture stimulates your body's own resources, for example, the immune or hormonal systems, to help you heal or to just help you destress and relax. Acupuncture is very safe when administered by trained acupuncturists and because there is no medication, there is no danger of side effects or medication interactions.
What conditions can we treat?
At Community Acupuncture Albuquerque, we treat all kinds
of pain - headaches, back aches, hip, shoulder, knee, elbow, wrist,
heel, and ankle pain. We commonly treat allergies, anxiety,
sleeplessness, depression, weight gain, and high blood pressure, We
also treat symptoms of diabetes, asthma, menstrual pain, menopausal
symptoms, prostate symptoms, constipation, diarrhea, stomach problems,
eye problems, and many more. The World Health Organization has
a list of more than a hundred conditions that acupuncture can treat
What Is Community Acupuncture?
Community Acupuncture Albuquerque acupuncturists treat
in a communal setting using chairs gathered in a large, quiet, soothing
space. We have eight zero gravity recliners and a massage table if
needed. Treating patients in a community setting has many benefits:
it's easy for friends and family members to come in for treatment
together; many patients find it comforting; we can be treated fully
clothed, and a collective energetic ("qi") field becomes established,
making individual treatments even more powerful!

At Community Acupuncture Albuquerque, we treat clients fully clothed in reclining chairs, using mostly points on the arms, legs and head.

He or she will feel your pulse, look at your tongue and make other observations to determine how to treat you. More about what to expect.
How long will it take to get better and how often should I come?
People respond differently to acupuncture but everyone will know within six treatments if the acupuncture is working. The longer you have had a condition, the more treatments you will need to get well. For some chronic conditions such as asthma or diabetes for which there is no cure, we may be able to help manage your ongoing symptoms and reduce their severity or frequency. We at Community Acupuncture Albuquerque recommend the following guidelines for how frequently to come and how many treatments to have. More about how many treatments
The New Co-operative
The Community Acupuncture movement has morphed into the People's Organization of Community Acupuncture It is structured as a co-operative along the lines of REI or La Montanita food coop here in Albuquerque. There are clinic members, patient and community members, and there are acupuncturist members. Membership entitles you to several free treatments per year for friends and family, no new patient fees at any POCA clinics, and the opportunity to get involved, even to create a community acupuncture clinic in your own town. We are excited to see how this organization evolves and to be part of this new economic business model.
"Community Acupuncture has realized a dream of mine to afford preventative and integrative therapy, which I have found personally to be more effective than relying on allopathic medicine alone. The treatment is always relaxing, which supports my immune system fundamentally. The specific points addressed seem to magically bring relief from my ailments of the moment which have included: anxiety, hot flashes, insomnia, herpes outbreaks, back aches, elbow pain, locking thumb, belly aches, symptoms of cold and flu. Thank you, Nityamo and staff. I confidently refer anyone who has health issues to you."

As has already been discussed here quite a bit, in the absence of Curtis Granderson, the Yankees have four basic choices, three of which come down to roughly the same thing:
- Sit out the ten weeks with a patchwork of veterans.
- Sit out the ten weeks with a patchwork of kids.
- Sit out the ten weeks with a patchwork of veterans and kids.
- Make a trade.
Let's dispense with the last first: the kinds of veterans available in a deal will come with a significant penalty attached, be it in the form of what the Yankees would have to give up, what they would have to pay, or how many years they would have to carry that player for after the deal. Even were the Yankees to be simply gifted with an Alfonso Soriano or a Vernon Wells, they would be patching a six-week problem (the regular season portion) with a two-year commitment. Worse, in both cases, you really don't know what you're going to get. Soriano still has something viable left, whereas Wells has been deadly to his own team in both two straight years and three of the last four.
The veterans on hand, particularly Juan Rivera and Matt Diaz, are equally problematic. They just don't hit right-handed pitching enough to be viable regulars (there is an argument that Rivera doesn't hit anyone enough to be a viable anything). They also play weak enough defense that their gloves, combined with likely subpar hitting against right-handers, will actively row the team backwards.
Still, a platoon could be kept in order with the acquisition of a lefty-swinging bat, and that player need not be anything special, just one who could field a bit and have the platoon in his favor. Over at MLB Trade Rumors, Tim Dierkes listed some possibilities among outfielders who are out of options, among them Jordan Schafer, Ezequiel Carrera, Casper Wells, Gorkys Hernandez, Jose Tabata, Julio Borbon, and Xavier Paul. This is not an inspiring bunch, but with a few of them, Borbon perhaps, you could imagine a team catching a singles-fueled hot streak for a few weeks, as the Rangers did in his rookie year of 2009. He always looked a bit lost in center, but perhaps in left his speed might play up.
Still, not even those players will necessarily be available for free, or even at all, so we go back to looking inside. Zoilo Almonte swings from both sides of the plate, but with weak plate judgment and low batting averages. .277/.322/.487 while playing at Trenton is impressive in its way, but knock some of that production off to compensate for the difficultly of two promotions and you don't have a great deal left. Melky Mesa clearly has ability, but you wonder if he can hit .220 against big-league pitching. Cuban veteran Ronnier Mustelier is intriguing, with his .324/.378/.497 rates in 150 minor league games, but there is a strange absence of talk about him as a viable major leaguer, and it's not clear if it's simply his age (28), tendency towards contact hitting (with its attendant lack of walks), or the absence of a clear position at which he can play -- his five errors in 90 career games in left field is troubling.
There are also veteran free-agent fill-ins along the lines of Scott Podsednik. Podsednik doesn't produce much even when hitting .300, but he can at least do that and steal a few bases while hitting from the needed side of the plate. The Yankees outfield would resemble something out of the Deadball era most of the time he was out there, but at least there would be a known quantity on hand just in case Mesa or Mustelier didn't look like they could handle the job. In this scenario you wouldn't sign the player just to give him the position, but only to break glass in case of emergency.
The good news to this whole mess is that as bad injuries to starting players go, this one has relatively good timing. Sure, it messes up the whole Curtis-to-left thing, but that could be practiced under game conditions during a minor-league rehab assignment. If Granderson misses the minimum, he could be back in time to get in half of May and the rest of the season. If anything, the greatest damage might have been done to a scenario that was somewhat unlikely anyway -- the Yankees feeling far enough out of it at the trading deadline that they tried to move free-agent-to-be Granderson for prospects. Had he been healthy, he would have had enough time to show that he was over last season's massive second-half tailspin as well as demonstrate proficiency at two positions. Now neither may happen.
Ironically, if they are that far out of it, Granderson's injury will have played a part in putting them there while at the same time making him a less attractive trade commodity. Again, it wasn't likely -- the pitching staff is too good for that, for one thing, but a thin slice of the wheel of fortune just got a little bit thinner.

The gun was stored in a bedroom in the home.
Aaron said the boy emptied all but one round of ammunition, which he used to shoot himself.

Tuition fees and food prices lead to inflation increase
Inflation has risen from 2.2 per cent in September to 2.7 per cent in October largely due to the increase in tuition fees.
Inflation has risen from 2.2 per cent in September to 2.7 per cent in October largely due to the increase in tuition fees.
The fall in inflation should be good news, but rising energy prices combined with sluggish wage increases mean the impact may not be felt.
With energy bills about to rise again and food prices under pressure today's statistics could be the low point if inflation goes up again.
The government suffered a big blow today as new figures showed the cost of living went up by half a percent to 2.7 per cent between September and October.
The hike in university tuition fees and increasing household food costs are being blamed.
Watch Economics Editor Richard Edgar's report:
Read more in Richard Edgar's blog.
UK inflation leapt to 2.7% last month after university students were hit with a near-trebling in tuition fees and households faced rising food costs, official figures have revealed.
ITV News' Economics Editor Richard Edgar reports.
Read more: Tuition fees and food prices lead to inflation increase
The squeeze on household incomes that has turned into a nightmare stranglehold for millions of working people should herald a government economic U-turn.
We are in a desperate situation where millions of working people and their families are juggling rising food and energy bills when household incomes for the majority of people have not kept pace in recent years. Where families lead in suffering, shops and businesses will follow.
– Len McCluskey, Unite general secretary
With further energy price rises due in the next couple of months, a bleak mid-winter can expected by millions whose lives have been made a misery by ministers unable to connect with the lives of ordinary people.
George Osborne's misguided and ill-conceived austerity programme is pushing the people of this country to breaking point. What is needed is action now to put money into the pockets of the millions of working people who are the backbone of this country. Instead, we get £40,000 tax-breaks for the super rich.
Inflation has risen from 2.2 per cent in September to 2.7 per cent in October largely due to the increase in tuition fees.Read the full story
This is a worrying increase in the inflation rate. But instead of easing the squeeze, the Government is adding to the cost of living crisis for people on low and middle incomes.
Conservative and Lib Dem MPs last night voted against Labour's call for January's 3p fuel duty rise to be postponed. And in the coming months millions of families and pensioners on low and middle incomes face rising energy bills, cuts to child benefit and the granny tax, while 8,000 millionaires get a tax cut.
– Catherine McKinnell MP, Labour's Shadow Treasury Minister
This out of touch government has got its priorities all wrong. It's time they took urgent action to help people on middle and low incomes and kick-start our flatlining economy.
– Trades Union Congress General Secretary Brendan Barber
These figures are a big blow to millions of workers who need their pay packets to catch up with the rising cost of living.
Much of this rise is a direct result of government policy. The trebling of tuition fees has dealt another blow to young people already struggling for work.
People have been getting poorer for nearly three years now and their incomes are being squeezed even tighter. It could take many years to undo the damage caused by our living standards crunch.
The near-trebling in tuition fees was the primary reason UK inflation leapt to 2.7% - up from 2.2% in October which is the largest increase in more than a year.
Education costs jumped by 19.1% last month - the largest since records began - the Office for National Statistics said.
Students starting at university this year will have to pay up to £9.000 a year - increased from a cap of £3,375 a year ago.
The rise in inflation was far more than economists had pencilled in and marks the first time inflation has risen since July.
– Treasury spokesperson
It is disappointing that inflation increased in October. Inflation remains much lower than its peak of 5.2% last September. The Government has taken action to help people with the cost of living, including freezing fuel duty and council tax and taking two million people out of income tax altogether.
The Consumer Price Index is up to 2.7% - the biggest push up from tuition fees. An increase in food prices is the second biggest factor in pushing prices up faster.
The big picture is still the same - prices rising faster than wages, so the gap between what families have to spend and what they need to is still growing.
The underlying rate of retail price index inflation rose to 3.1% in October from 2.6% in September, the ONS said.

As approved by the Board of Trustees on August 20, 2007, and re-affirmed on July 9, 2011, the following conflict of interest standards apply to all Trustees.
Conflict Of Interest Standards
The following standards apply to each member of the Board of Trustees of Kepler College. These standards are intended to serve as guidance for everyone serving on the Board of Trustees.
If a matter for consideration or decision that raises a potential or real conflict of interest for any Trustee arises, the Trustee shall disclose such to the Chair of the Board as soon as possible. The disclosure shall be recorded in the minutes of the meeting where a vote by the Board will occur on the matter. In the event a Trustee is uncertain as to the need to make disclosure in a particular instance, the Trustee should seek counsel from the Chair and/or the President of the College. They, in turn, may elect to consult with legal counsel.
As permitted by State or Federal law, a Trustee may receive compensation from the College as an independent contractor, or for his or her services as a Trustee. This, by itself, is not deemed a conflict of interest. However, in such event, the Trustee shall be prohibited from voting for or determining any specific dollar amounts for any such compensation and compensation must be reasonable with respect to similar positions in similar institutions.
A Trustee who is deemed to have a potential or real conflict of interest with respect to any such matter shall not vote or participate in discussion in connection with the matter. That Trustee's presence may not be counted in determining whether there exists a quorum for purposes of validating the vote on the matter.
A Trustee who is found to have violated this conflict of interest standard will be removed from the Board of Trustees.
You can pay with a credit card through Paypal or pay by check or phone.
Students are entered into their course site no later than the night before classes begin. New students will also be enrolled in an orientation course.

Last Weekend in L.A.: Evgenia Citkowitz's Book Party in Hollywood
It was an especially cold night by California standards last weekend, by the roaring fire and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves at the Hollywood Hills home of Susan Traylor and her director husband Jesse Dylan seemed to offer up the perfect excuse to curl up with a good book. Which is exactly what they did, but hosting a party to celebrate their good friend Evgenia Citkowitz and her new book, Ether, calling on guests like Annette Bening, LACMA's Michael Govan, and Hollywood power agent Brian Siberell. The book is a series of seven short stories and a novella that divulge the author's keen insight into human consciousness and family relationships. Evgenia thanked her own family, her husband, actor Julian Sands, and their daughter Imogen for "being quiet when I was trying to work." Co-host Lisa Love implored Katherine Ross and Shaun Regen to buy the book as artist Konstantin Kakanias had his copy signed. Musician Alphaeus Taylor, artist Sean Daly, and photographer Suzanne Tenner sipped hot chicken stew and laughed as their hosts' young daughter and friends attempted to man the bar. In this jovial crowd of creatives, it's easy to see how the real life characters in Evengia's world served as more than ample inspiration.
From what the stars should wear to who we think will win—here is everything you need to know about the 2014 Emmy Awards.

One more thing, about politicians in the news.
You might say that lately our public servants haven't exactly been serving the public. Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.'s troubles, Alderman William Beavers upcoming trial, and state senator Donne Trotter's concealed weapon have monopolized the news.
So let's devote a little time to an elected official we can look up to.
U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, who suffered a stroke in January, announced Thursday plans to return to the senate floor on Jan. 3, the first day of the new congress.
His determination during a long, hard on-going rehabilitation, his perseverance climbing up the top 37 floors on the Willis Tower, and bravely facing the public as he has slowly been getting back to work have made him an inspiration to those with physical difficulties.
It's also made Senator Kirk that rarest of politicians today, one who is equally admired regardless of your political persuasion.
Maybe if he could get back to work before the end of the year we'd have a better chance of not falling over the fiscal cliff.

News: Justin Schultz signed a one-year, $3.8 million deal with the Oilers on Friday, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports. Analysis: The restricted free agent defenseman averaged 23:21 of ice time per game last season, registering 11 goals and 22 assists. His production has still been somewhat disappointing, though, as he hasn't quite shown the consistent offensive game that vaulted him to college stardom. Still, he's been a consistent contributor and should return in a similar role in 2014-15.
News: Ryan White underwent surgery Wednesday to repair his left pectoral muscle. Analysis: The Flyers haven't provided a timetable for a return for Ryan White, who signed with the organization on a one-year, two-way contract on Aug. 7. White, 26, totaled six points and 50 PIM in 52 games with the Canadiens last season. He was slated to compete for a fourth-line role with the Flyers in training camp, but those hopes could be dashed as a result of the procedure.
News: Lance Bouma signed a one-year contract with the Flames on Wednesday. Analysis: Lance Bouma is coming off his first full season in the NHL, in which the center supplied five goals and 10 assists over 78 games. The 24-year-old probably has room to grow as a scorer given his relative youth, but he may not amount to more than a second- or third-line center at his peak.
News: Brandon Manning signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Flyers on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. Analysis: Brandon Manning was one of the more productive offensive rearguards in the AHL last season, scoring eight goals and 23 assists over 73 games for Adirondack. He earned a late-season promotion to the Flyers and appeared in six games, totaling two assists. He'll be given the opportunity to compete for a role on the blue line with the parent club in training camp, but more likely than not, he'll head back to the AHL to begin the 2014-15 campaign.
News: Brett Hextall signed a contract with AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday, Frank Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News reports. Analysis: Brett Hextall's connections with the Flyers' front office (his dad, Ron, is the GM) was likely a major factor in his landing with the new organization. The 26-year-old Hextall spent the past three seasons with AHL Portland, totaling 53 points and 221 penalty minutes in 197 games.
News: Craig Anderson inked a three-year contract extension with the Senators on Friday. Analysis: Craig Anderson will get an average of $4.2 million over the three years, a larger contract than the one signed by his fellow netminder and teammate, Robin Lehner, earlier in the offseason. His contract was set to expire following next season, but now he will battle Lehner for the starting gig for the next four seasons.
News: Carey Price (knee) began skating a couple of weeks ago, Hockey Inside Out reports. Analysis: Carey Price suffered a sprained knee in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals that ended his season. He said the skating has done "pretty good so far."
News: Devin Setoguchi signed a one-year deal with the Flames on Saturday. Analysis: Devin Setoguchi spent last season with the Jets, scoring 11 goals to go with 16 assists in 75 games. The seven-year veteran has amassed 127 goals and 122 assists in his career. It's a fairly low-risk move for Calgary, which can let go of Setoguchi after the season if he fails to regain the offensive touch that led to three straight 20-plus goal seasons with the Sharks.
News: Tomas Kaberle is attempting an NHL comeback and has been in Toronto working out with current pros, reports the Toronto Sun. "I might have a tryout on the table, but not in Ontario," Kaberle said this week. Analysis: "We'll see what happens in the next few weeks," continued the 36-year-old defender. "I feel good, with no injuries (a charmed career in that sense). I still enjoy the game and that's they key. It would be nice to play a couple of more years." He spent last season with Kladno in the Czech league. His fantasy value will be limited even if he does earn a spot. He'll likely only be a number five or six defender.
News: Danny Kristo re-signed with the Rangers on Thursday. Analysis: The 24-year-old Danny Kristo tallied 25 goals and 18 assists in 65 games with AHL Hartford last season. Another season at the AHL level likely awaits.

Imagine being healthy one week and near death the next. That's what happened to Bernie Reams.
Bernie says her sickness came out of nowhere and progressed quickly, almost to the point of death. Now, she continues to progress and is educating others about sepsis.
"It can affect anybody. You get a scrape on your arm...you fall...you're playing baseball, and you scrape yourself," Bernie told News 13.
Her sickness began with an ear infection and progressed to septic shock. It's a condition that occurs when toxins are created as the body tries to fight infection.
Gulf Coast Medical Center Chief of Medicine Dr. James Tackett says getting prompt treatment is crucial.
According to Dr. Tackett, "Your immune system kicks into overdrive. It can start as something simple and spiral out of control."
Bernie was losing lung and kidney function and eventually lost blood to her fingertips and toes, leading to amputation. However, the medical team saved her life.
"You put that whole picture together because the quicker you pick up on it...what we call early goal directed therapy...you can substantially decrease that mortality," said. Dr. Tackett.
Bernie still uses oxygen but can now walk on her own. She hopes to plan a sepsis awareness run for next year to bring more awareness to the community.
Medical experts say anyone is at risk for sepsis. The best prevention is to wash your hands to eliminate germs and always see a doctor if you are not feeling well.

Bag It & Bin It is a water industry-led national campaign to encourage people not to flush their discarded 'personal products' down the toilet.
• What's the problem?
• About the campaign
• The sewerage process
Sewers are designed to take away wastewater from sinks and baths, toilet paper and human waste flushed down the toilet, and rainwater which runs into road drains.
Sanitary items and other personal waste should be disposed of responsibly in the household waste bin or in the special bins in public toilets.
This is to protect our beaches, rivers and canals from unsightly products, avoid harm to the marine environment and our wildlife and prevent blockages in the sewerage system.
An estimated 2 billion sanitary protection items are flushed down toilets each year. Our sewers were not designed for this sort of waste so they suffer blockages in the pipes and treatment works and other problems.
Personal products should, for health reasons, first be placed in bags and then put in the bin.
These items and other 'personal products' should not be flushed down the toilet...
Cotton buds
Condoms and Femidoms
Tampons and tampon applicators
Sanitary towels, panty liners and backing strips
Facial and hand wipes
Cleaning wipes
Kitchen roll
Dental floss
Disposable nappies
Incontinence pads
Old bandages
Razor blades
Syringes and needles
Colostomy bags
Medicines and tablets
Other items such as food, plastics, chemicals, toilet roll inners, tights etc

Panel to Decide Fate of SF Hibernia Bank Building on December 5Randy Shawbyline' Dec. 04' 2012
After years of efforts to revive the landmark Hibernia Bank building in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood, the city's Historic Preservation Commission will decide on December 5 whether the owners' renovation plan can move forward. The Hibernia Bank is one of San Francisco's most iconic buildings, the Tenderloin's only structure to survive the 1906 earthquake and fire. I have gotten a lot of feedback to my stories about the Hibernia over the years, and there is clearly broad public support for the building's revitalization and reuse. The Commission meeting is in City Hall, room 400, and starts at 11:30. The Hibernia case could be called as early as noon. All supporters of the Hibernia are encouraged to attend, and those unable to be present can e-mail messages of support to Tim.frye (at)sfgov.org. A history of the Hibernia's long road to this point can be found here.

Town Square
Bain, Mitt Riomney and Meg Whitman
Original post made by Paul Losch on Feb 25, 2012
I have worked as a client with the Bain folks on the consulting side, and I hold them and my epxerience with them in very high regard. Met Meg Whitman when she was there, never met Mitt Romney. The Bain people with whom I had close interaction, including current EBay CEO John Donahoe, were just great people.
Perhaps they are too highly trained in how to manage clients, and think it is the same as managing voters. For good and for bad, when Bain is consulting for a company, there will be manipulation by the Bain folks. Bain is very good at corporate politics.
It does appear that such skills do not translate into effective national politics in the case of Mitt, or a run to be Governor of California in the case 1 1/2 years ago in the case of Meg. They both have been lfat-footed in the campaigns for high public office.
Don't get me wrong, both of these people are very effective and succesful executives, and have had a positive impact on things in which they have been involved.
Like both of them, I have a Harvard MBA. I have been turned down for jobs over the years because I was not viewed as "qualified," or had the "right relevant expenrience." I got over it.
Meg got a similar rejection letter Novmeber 2010, and Mitt will get the same, most likely in the general election in November.
Not bad people, just not right for the job.
on Feb 25, 2012 at 5:45 pm
Mitt is SO very uncomfortable as a politician.
I sincerely would love the opportunity to talk, host a dinner, sit around a fire at the grove drinking with him (okay, assume as a minister in his church he doesn't drink....) He would be/is obviously intelligent and fascinating. On a one to one level, he's downright charming. I've heard this about him over and over.
On stage? he's like a nervous nelly on a first date, constantly putting his foot in his mouth, because he feels the need to keep speaking when he runs out of things to say....
"I'm unemployed"
"Ann drives a couple caddies"
"The trees here are just the right size" (twice this week) The list goes on: "who let the dogs out" etc...
I'm guessing he also isn't "handled" well. Being in an empty stadium, etc.. He' gives an okay speech with the teleprompter but flounders without - averages a couple unforced errors a week.
Mitt: quit trying to be the Joe Sixpack side of George Bush. You're a successful wealthy man. Live it.
Release your last ten years of returns like Chris Christie advised and get on with it.
We don't care about your fleet of cars in the half dozen mansions spread around the country. That's half of the homes McCain had in 2008, fercrissakes.
on Feb 25, 2012 at 6:47 pm
Mitt saved the Salt Lake City Olympics. Barack Obama would have been like a deer in the headlights, if he had to face the same challenge. Take away Barack's teleprompter, and he is reduced to a clown.
Romney is superior to Obama, in almost all zones...except the clown act. If Romney wins the nomination, he will have an easy walk over Obama, because he is so much more talented as an executive and leader.
on Feb 25, 2012 at 7:09 pm
Mitt was bailed out in Salt Lake using earmarks and bragged about them. Santorum called him on it.
$1.3 Billion in our tax dollars saved Mitt's bacon. He bragged how he only spent $3.5 million on five lobbying firms to get some of the earmarks. In his book, Turnaround, he wrote that he directed his chief Washington lobbyist "to bring in more federal funding than had ever been appropriated for any Olympics, summer or winter."
He reiterated all that as a selling point when he ran for governor of Massachusetts: "I was successful... got record funds from the federal government...."
Your: "he will have an easy walk over Obama"
Don't strut too much. Mitt makes too many unforced errors. The campaign makes too many mistakes and miscalculations (like centering everything on a worsening economy.) If he was that great a campaigner, he would have had this all sown up after he won both Iowa and New Hampshire. He's virtaully lived in those states for 6 years. The good thing about living there is he will take Iowa this year, normally considered a toss up.

Robert James "Bob" Dold, Jr.[1] (born June 23, 1969) is the former U.S. Representative for Illinois's 10th congressional district. He is a member of the Republican Party.[2] Prior to his election, Dold ran his family-owned business, Rose Pest Solutions.[3] Dold defeated Democratic Party nominee Dan Seals to replace Republican incumbent Mark Kirk.
Early life, education, and career[edit]
Dold was born in Evanston, Illinois, the son of Judith Gail (née Kelley) and Robert James Dold. His ancestry includes German, Swedish, Irish, Scottish, and English.[4] He graduated from New Trier High School in Winnetka where he was quarterback of the football team and captain of the wrestling and lacrosse teams.[citation needed] He earned a BA from Denison University where he served as President of the Campus Governance Association, a law degree from Indiana University where he was selected by his classmates to give the commencement address, and an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.[5]
Dold was an intern in the administration of Vice President Dan Quayle. He also clerked for a New York State Judge and served as an investigative counsel for the Republican-led House Government Reform and Oversight Committee.[6]
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
- 2010
In his first radio ad of the general election campaign, Dold described himself as a small business owner, fiscal conservative and social moderate.[7] Dan Seals' campaign disputed Dold's credentials as a "social moderate".[8] Dold was endorsed by the Chicago Tribune,[9] the US Chamber of Commerce[10] and the Electrical Contractors' Association.[11] Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani[10] and president of Americans for Tax Reform Grover Norquist[12] campaigned for Dold. After reporting nearly equal fund-raising for the second quarter,[13] Dold's fund-raising outpaced Seals' in the third quarter. Dold began the final quarter with more cash on hand than Seals.[14] At the request of the Federal Election Commission the Dold campaign amended their second quarter, 2010, filing in September, 2010 to reflect debts and expenditures that had been incurred in the second quarter but had not yet been billed when the filing period ended.[15]
On October 7, 2010, the Chicago Tribune endorsed Dold because "he will be in the moderate, pro-choice, independent mold of Kirk."[16]
- 2012
The National Journal's Cook Political Report named Dold one of the top 10 Republicans most vulnerable to redistricting in 2012[17] with the 10th becoming more Democratic following redistricting. The endorsement of Mark Kirk, who is popular in the district, was expected to help Dold.[18] Dold had a strong cash-on-hand advantage over his opponent Brad Schneider.[19][20] Dold earned the endorsement of the Chicago Tribune and Daily Herald.[21][22] Schneider defeated Dold 51%-49%, a difference of just 3,000 votes.[23]
- 2014
On May 8, 2013, Dold announced in an e-mail to supporters that he would run for his old seat in 2014.[24] The race has been ranked the #7 most likely flip for 2014 House rematches.[25]
Dold hired lobbyist Eric Burgeson, who grew up in Illinois' 10th District, as his Congressional Chief of Staff.[26] Burgeson and Dold had previously worked together on Sen. Bob Dole's 1996 Presidential campaign.[27] Dold instituted a policy that "staff may not work on matters of substance with former clients."[26]
The non-partisan organization GovTrack ranked Dold in the political Center of Congress.[28] National Journal Magazine did a comprehensive study of key votes in the House of Representatives and ranked Dold as one of the most independent members of the House.[29] Dold is an original member of the No Labels movement which is seeking to end the gridlock in Washington, DC so that positive legislation can be moved forward.[citation needed] An editorial at The Daily Herald noted Dold's spirit of bipartisanship and called for more Bob Dolds in Congress.[30]
Committee assignments[edit]
- Committee on Financial Services[31]
Personal life[edit]
Dold is married and has three children.[32] Dold resides in Kenilworth, Illinois and runs Rose Pest Solutions, the oldest pest control company in the country.[33][34] Dold attends Kenilworth Union Church and is a scoutmaster for Kenilworth Boy Scout Troop #13.[35]
Although he consistently voted in Wilmette, he received about $4,000 in tax breaks in 2004 through 2006 for claiming a homeowner's exemption on a house he owns in Chicago's Roscoe Village neighborhood, according to the Cook County Assessor's office. Election law recognizes a difference between a 'principal residence' where one can claim a tax break, and a 'permanent residence' where one can continue to vote even if 'principally' living somewhere else.[35]
In 2012, Dold purchased a home in Kenilworth, IL from his parents.[36] This home is outside the 10th Congressional District.[37]

A five-million-lb. flyover ramp was lifted yesterday to accommodate new roadway construction on Interstate 595 near Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The curved steel tub girder bridge that connects southbound University Drive to eastbound I-595 was raised 18 in. within a 24-hour period.
Synchronized hydraulic jacks slowly raised the bridge, and a team of about 50 construction workers inserted 18 shims that hold up the flyover, according to an article published in The Miami Herald. The south part of the ramp will be removed in order to make room for more lanes that will widen I-595.
The article states the original plan was to remove both flyover ramps that connect University Drive and I-595. Raising the ramp was the alternative that helped save time–and taxpayer dollars–by keeping one whole bridge and using half of the one being lifted.
University Drive and I-595 closed beginning at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday and reopened by today's morning rush hour, with the exception of the flyover ramp on southbound University.

San Antonio firefighters battle fires at McDonalds, NW Side home Thursday morning
SAFD: No reported injuries, damage minimal to both structures
San Antonio firefighters were busy early Thursday morning battling a pair of fires on the North Side.
Fire crews were called to the 6300 block of Club Oaks around midnight after reports of a house fire on the Northwest Side.
Fire units arrived and saw the chimney on fire on the first floor. Crews got the fire under control in about 20 minutes and kept it from spreading into the attic.
Everyone in the home made it out safely and no injuries were reported, fire officials said.
A few hours later, San Antonio firefighters responded to a small fire at North Side McDonald's just after 3 a.m.
Employees said they were checking the AC unit when they reported seeing sparks coming out of the ceiling of the restaurant in the 6900 block of San Pedro Avenue.
The fire was quickly contained and no one was injured. Fire officials said there was minimal damage to the restaurant.

The words coming from the families of Whitey Bulger's victims were piercing. The looks were even more menacing. They stared right at the mobster at his sentencing Wednesday and described their pain and anger while daring the 84–year–old to look them in the eye.
James "Whitey Bulger" arrived at the Boston Federal Court House and made it clear he had nothing to say. The mobster thought his trial was a sham.
"From his perspective he did not receive a fair trial because he was not able to put forward everything he could have told about the corruption and about the immunity agreement he had reached with the federal prosecutors," said J.W. Carney Jr., Bulger's defense attorney.
Family members of 12 murder victims got the last word. The judge allowed all to speak regardless of whether their case was proved at trial. Several of them demanded Bulger to look at them, but all were unsuccessful.
"I said if I could have strangled him with my bare hand, the way he did my sister…" said Steven Davis whose 26-year-old sister, Deborah, was among the victims.
Prosecutors are seeking two consecutive life sentences. Bulger will be sentenced Thursday morning.
