Home > Special Reports & Collaborations > State Secrets: A Joint Investigation into Political Party Money in the States
by The Institute on Money in State Politics, the Center for Public Integrity and the Center for Responsive Politics, June 25, 2002
The Institute, the Center for Public Integrity and the Center for Responsive Politics spent a year building databases of contributions to and expenditures by political party committees in all 50 states. The year-long project resulted in a series of reports:ng efforts of the tobacco industry and the effect it has had on tobacco-control efforts in Colorado. The report details campaign contributions provided to statewide officials and legislators by tobacco companies, subsidiaries and allies from 1996 through 2002.
- Summary of Study Findings
- State Parties Collected Nearly $570 Million in Contributions, Soft Money Transfers in 2000
Democratic and Republican state party committees raised $570 million in the 2000 elections, with 46 percent comprised of soft money transfers from national party organizations. The transfers confirm a commonly held perception that state parties are used to launder soft money and influence presidential and congressional elections in a way never envisioned nor intended by federal election law.
- Top Individual Donors to Party Committees
Profiles of the top 10 individual donors to the non-federal accounts of state party committees and national party committees.
- Top Overall Donors to Party Committees
A listing of the top 20 donors to state party committees.
- A Soft Money Primer
Campaign funds in the U.S. political party system are divided into two categories -- "federal" and "non-federal." Non-federal money is supposed to be used to elect state and local officials and is regulated by state laws. But when its use helps influence federal elections, it becomes "soft money."
- Only One State Bans Soft Money
Only Connecticut has a campaign finance law that prevents the national parties from flooding its elections with transfers of unregulated, soft money donations.
- Important Dates: Federal Campaign Finance Legislation
A timeline of the development of laws governing campaign finances at the federal level.
- From Paper to Bytes: How the Study Was Done
The year-long effort to follow the money flowing through state political parties involved the creation of a comprehensive database of state party campaign contributions and expenditures covering all 50 states -- an endeavor that involved collecting tens of thousands of pages of reports and then inputting, standardizing and coding the information they contained.
- Uneven Disclosure Obscures the Money Trail
Gaps in state disclosure laws, incomplete reporting and problems in obtaining campaign-finance reports make it difficult to track the money coming in and out of state political party coffers.

Brooks Hays Reports ... ARKANSAS BAPTIST OCTOBER 25. 1944 A VISIT TO THE BATTLE FRONTS "The Destruction Was Apalling [sic] " [photograph caption] When Congressman Judd and I took off in the palatial flying boat of the British airways on September 2, I hadn't been so excited since Ringling Brothers came to Russellville in 1911. We occupied the "tail cabin" which was as large as some hotel rooms I have seen. The first night we flew to a North Atlantic base, and the second lap required just 13 1/2 hours to get us into the harbor of Foynes, Ireland. The last lap of the trip was in a land plane, completely blacked out, and we landed near London in a driving rain-I had only expected fog. London covers a tremendous space-perhaps 30 miles across-and we drove through several areas where the air raids and the robot bombs had done their worst damage. The destruction was apalling [sic]. The Government recently revealed that more than a million [sic] homes had been damaged, perhaps a fifth completely destroyed, but to me the amazing thing is that so many buildings remain undamaged. As one man said, "You can see the Gerries missed more places than they hit." Getting Acquainted It was late in the afternoon when we registered at the hotel, but we did not wait to eat. We wanted to see the Parliament buildings and Westminster Abbey, so we started out without a map or guide. Suddenly we came upon an imposing building and I asked a guard what the building was "Buckingham Palace," he said disgustedly, and I resolved immediately not to ridicule again about the two ladies who stopped me in front of our own capitol in Washington to ask "What can this building be?" We had been told to carry our flashlights ("torches,' the British say) but we had not realized how badly we would need them. The London blackout is no sham. The spirit of the people of Britain is magnificent. They had suffered really beyond the power of visitors to describe, but they have an amazing ability to take it without complaint. Underneath the calm exterior, however, I think there is a feeling of righteous wrath that such barbarities should have been practiced. A few of the flying bombs came over while I was there, and I learned that they are terrifying things. It is like being in a dark room with rattlesnakes, not knowing when one will strike you and realizing that people are dying on the next block. Praise for Home Life London newspapers reported one day that 13 children had been killed by a single bomb -and speaking of children, nothing impressed me more than Britain's care of her children in wartime. It is in keeping with the tradition of Britain concerning family life. I once heard Dr. Len Broughton, the Georgia Baptist pastor, who occupied a London pulpit for many years, say that that England's greatness lies in this tremendous concern for its homes. That is something to think about, because it seems to me it was a part of our own heritage and that we have nourished the idea as the English have, and the Scots, too. One of our first visits was with the American Ambassador, Mr. Winant, the modest, but interesting Republican from New Hampshire. He had impressed me previously in America by his quiet manner and profound philosophy. One time I heard him say in conversation that a man's life should be full of intelligent and energetic action but that the chief quality of life is "devoted self sacrifice." I recommend that to anyone who might be surrendering hope that modern politicians can cultivate ideas. The British Foreign Secretary, Mr. Eden, was a guest at Mr. Winant's luncheon and we liked him. Visits Parliament We had an opportunity later to see how Parliament functions, having seats in the gallery at the opening on September 26. We had expected only short formalities and quick adjournment but found quite a lot of business to be conducted, including a personal appearance by Mr. Churchill who answered a number of questions from critical members. Our own Congress has nothing resembling the questioning of the ministers and I was convinced from observation that the practice has real merit. We saw a lot of American soldiers in London, though they told us it was nothing to compare to conditions before D-Day. The first Arkansawyer to stop me was Lt. Col. Graham Hall of Little Rock, member of the Judge Advocate's office. Later I was able to contact many more from Arkansas. Air Operations Observed One day we rode to a bomber base in North England, arriving there just before a mission of a hundred planes was to return. The general in charge took us to "the tower." When we went into the room we sensed an obvious anxiety and tension which we were told is always evident when the planes are coining in. The ambulances were at their stations and the chaplain walked back and forth in front of them to see if any men were wounded. A major identified him. "A fine lot of men," he said of the chaplains. The ground crew gazed nervously at the flecks in the sky. The officer near us counted the planes-two missing. "Maybe they're safe," he hoped aloud. He called to one of his staff, "Check with the captain"-and in a moment he was told the pilots had telephoned from France that they had made forced landings but were all right. We ate with the officers, but the fare is substantially the same for all the troops, and it is excellent. None of the men I talked with during the entire trip had any serious complaints about the food, except on the boats, and after our week on the British civilian diet it looked like Utopia to us. Orange for Dr. Rushbrooke Civilians have almost forgotten what oranges look like, and I saved two which an officer gave me to serve Dr. J. H. Rushbrooke, president of the Baptist World Alliance, at breakfast the morning I left London. It was the first he had tasted in months, he told me. I saw luscious peaches in a window in Glasgow and received the shock of my life when the clerk told me they were eight shillings apiece ($1.60). The grapes lying in the next basket were priced at $6 a pound. On the whole the English farmers have done a grand job of stepping up food production. They are quick to give credit to the United States however for the farm machinery and fertilizer without which their marvelous record would not have been possible. The Minister of Agriculture said last year's production in most of the essential crops showed an 80 percent increase over previous years. Food importations will be necessary, however, for an indefinite period, which explains the desire of British statesmen to establish satisfactory economic ties with the continental countries whose productive capacity is great. France, if provided a stable government and balanced economy, can supply some of the food requirements. Buzz-Bombed at Dover Something must be said, too, for the women's land army. It was a novelty to see the women pitching hay and gathering crops in Kent County, east of London, and we were told that the farmers could never have met the demands upon them except for these women workers. Women are serving as farm (CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT) Mr. Hays, a Baptist layman and Congressman from Arkansas' Fifth District, has just returned from Europe where he visited with our troops and viewed the battlefields of World War II. He also was privileged to have several conferences with leaders of the British, government. Mr. Hays was accompanied on the trip by Congressman Walter Judd, a former medical missionary to China, and was joined in London by ten other American Congressmen. In this installment, Mr. Hays tells of his trip in a manner of interest to all readers. Next week he will delve into the war's effect on religion in Europe and look toward, prospects for a Christian order after the guns cease firing. - Editor.

It's virtually impossible to get all of the vitamins and minerals you need through diet alone. Taking a multivitamin helps fill in nutritional gaps and provides extra antioxidant support. A multi also helps your body convert the food you eat into better, more stable energy. But taking a daily multi can also have a direct impact on immunity, especially in middle-aged and older individuals. One yearlong study found that baby boomers taking a multi experienced 53 percent fewer sick days than those taking a placebo. And a new study just out found that men taking a daily multi had lower rates of cancer. Here are five multivitamins that boast the highest-quality vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and superfoods.
|MegaFood Vegan Daily
This relatively new whole-food-sourced multivitamin and mineral formula includes B-complex vitamins, iron, chromium, and magnesium. It's specially formulated to support a vegan diet with body-balancing herbs that help promote energy levels and strengthen the body's resistance and response to daily stress. The once-daily tablet is gluten-free and can be taken on an empty stomach.
|Garden of Life Vitamin Code Women
This unique multi contains raw, food-created nutrients, including a comprehensive range of essential vitamins and minerals, live probiotics and enzymes, and fruits and vegetables. The Women's formula is designed to support breast health, reproductive health, heart health, bone strength, healthy skin, and optimal digestion.
This multi is also gluten-free and made with organic ingredients. Take with or without food.
|Nature's Way Alive! Whole Food Energizer Multi-Vitamin (no iron)
This popular multi has a whopping 26 fruits and vegetables, 12 digestive enzymes, 14 green foods, 25 vitamins and minerals, 18 amino acids, 12 mushrooms, and more than 40 antioxidant sources! It provides whole-body nourishment to help support energy, bone health, daily energy, colon health, eye health, heart health, and immune defense. This iron-free formula is safe for men and post-menopausal women. You also won't find wheat, yeast, sugar, dairy, or artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives here.
|Kal Enhanced Energy TEEN Stay Sharp Multivitamin
This teen multi features a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals; a "stay sharp" blend of grape seed extract, GABA, and DMAE; herbs and superfoods including spirulina, wheat grass, and ginger; organic veggies and greens; organic superfruits and berries; digestive enzymes; and raw mushrooms. This blend is specially formulated to enhance and sustain energy, improve physical and cognitive performance, boost immunity, and support the overall health of growing teens and young adults. Fans, including teenagers and college students, rave about their improved energy levels. Take 1 tablet per day.
|NOW Foods ADAM Superior Men's Multi
Essential vitamins and minerals, plus saw palmetto, lutein, lycopene, alpha lipoic acid, CoQ10, trans-resveratrol, and grape seed extract, are found in this male formula. Whole-food sourced nutrients support prostate, heart, and eye health, energy, and anti-aging. ADAM is formulated to contain the lowest levels of unneeded excipients such as binders and fillers, leaving more room for higher levels of the nutrients men need to maintain optimum health.

NASHVILLE, TN (AP) -- The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency says reports on the spring turkey hunt show the wild turkey population in Tennessee is stable.
With reports still coming in from the hunt that ended May 12, the harvest has surpassed 300,000 birds for the 11th straight year. As of a report Wednesday, the number stood at 32,489.
TWRA Turkey Program Coordinator Chris Hunter said the agency expects small fluctuations from year to year. The state record of more than 37,000 came in 2010.
The agency noted inclement weather hampered hunters on several weekends during the statewide season.

Despite this overwhelming evidence, the cases discussed above have had a huge impact on the autism community, which has increasingly been divided between those who consider autism a disability and those who believe it is merely a different, not worse, way of thinking and interacting with the world. This latter position is espoused by the autism rights movement, also called the neurodiversity movement, which has evolved over the past two decades from an ad-hoc association of individuals with high-functioning autism or Asperger's syndrome and their families into a powerful lobby led by organizations such as Autistic Self-Advocacy Network and Autism Network International. ANI's founder, Jim Sinclair, wrote the famous 1993 essay "Don't Mourn for Us," which accused parents who long to cure their children's autism of really hoping "that one day we will cease to be, and strangers you can love will move in behind our faces." Today, neurodiversity activists sit on the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (which advises the National Institutes of Health on how to allocate its autism research budget) and the National Council on Disability.
Since its inception, the movement has been lambasted by parents of lower-functioning autistic children for pursing what they consider to be an exclusionary agenda focused on civil rights, societal attitudes and support. These advocates, such as Harry L. Doherty, who writes his Facing Autism Symptoms in New Brunswick blog about life with his autistic son, Conor, say that this "irrational" mission distracts and draws funding from research on medical treatments and possible cures.
But to counter these critiques, there is always Amanda Baggs to echo the popular neurodiversity argument that handicap is in the eye of the beholder: "I find it very interesting by the way that failure to learn your language is seen as a deficit, but failure to learn my language is seen as so natural," she has written. Or there is Larry Bissonnette, who (through FC) proclaims, "We are one branch of many on a . . . diverse and wonderful beauty tree." Lower-functioning autistics, it seems, are on board with the movement after all. (Sue Rubin is a notable exception, in that her writings (through FC) reflect a strong desire for a cure, but she often pops up in these debates because of her apparent capabilities.)

I'm back (late as usual) with a look at the pretty bowls and plates I bought last week for my dresser top. First up, the Alphabet Tray from West Elm. It's currently final sale for $3.99!
I also picked up a couple dishes from Anthropologie.
(I bought the second one down with six fish on it for $8.) And these tiny latte bowls in mint green (the bottom two in the left side stack) for only $2.50 each! These are perfect for holding bracelets, rings and earrings.
The last pieces of pulling together my dresser/vanity are a tray for my lotions, perfume, etc. and a couple photo boxes to store mementos. What do you use to corral jewelry?
With a wink and a smile,
I just learned about the coolest online boutiques over the last couple of days. They all have really cute things at really awesome and affordable prices!

It was nearly 3 years ago when Alex Brown, a senior at Seagraves High school, was killed on her way to school. She had been texting and driving. "This is happening so quickly, so suddenly, so unexpectedly." Those were the words of Joel Haragan as he walked to the gym to share the news with everyone at the school. There wasn't a dry eye in the gym. He told the group, "Everybody wants to know why this happened."
There were questions like that today for Joel Haragan as he walked with a cane into another high school. No longer a principal, he came to class at Lorenzo High School as a special guest. "You get in it because of the kids and when you get out, you miss the kids. But I'm back", he said excitedly.
"Tuesdays with Morrie" is a best selling book that became a movie. It is the true account of a young sports writer who took notes during the last 15 Tuesdays he spent with a favorite teacher, who was dying of ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease.
After studying the book , Kinsey Kinard's entire class at Lorenzo High wore t-shirts in support of Joel Haragan as he entered this class Tuesday morning. Joel, also an educator, came to share his life lesions after having been diagnosed with ALS three months ago. "We've got cake, too!" Ms. Kinard announced to Joel and the class as he put on the t-shirt ordered for him as well. On the back, it said TEAM JOEL in big letters. The front said "A Tuesday with Joel: Hope Faith Cure".
In a scene from "Tuesdays with Morrie", Morrie tells the writer, "Know anything about this disease? I've got ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease. It melts you like a candle." Joel understands that. He told the class that in his stage of the disease, "Right now, for the most part. It's in my lower torso. It's in my legs." But this was not a class about sadness. Instead, it was about appreciating life… and weathering the storms. "My storm is ALS. But I'm talking to people right now with storms in their lives. And how we handle those storms and what we do with those storms makes a difference."
The class could see that just getting up from a chair takes some effort now for Joel. But he stood when he asked the class to share their questions, just as the sports writer had quizzed Morrie in the movie. One student asked, "Are you Scared?" " You better believe it," he answered.
It was an hour of honesty and real life lessons on the value of living life to its fullest. "Have you considered taking the easy way out - suicide?," another student asked. Joel told them, "You're right. That would be the easy way out. But what if Morrie hadn't gone through with it? A lot of lives have been touched because of that book."
And how many more lives will be touched as Joel Haragan continues to teach the lessons of this book? In the movie, Morrie says, "I'm a lucky man. I still got time to teach my final course." When the sports writer asks "About dying?" He laughs, "No, about living!"
After this first "Tuesday with Joel" the class at Lorenzo High took pictures with their special guest. Then, they surprised him with a personal letter from each student. Almost every student, even the tough guys, sneaked in a hug from this giant 6'7" role model. Watching Joel Haragan accept all those letters and hugs from kids who cared, you could see it was medicine for the soul.
Special note: If you are looking for a speaker for your classroom or organization, Joel Haragan would like to spend many more Tuesdays sharing his story of faith and his positive outlook on life. He can be reached at (806)928-6923 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Claudette ColbertClaudette Colbert was born Lily Claudette Chauchoin in Paris, France in 1903; her family moved to the United States when she was three. Her first onscreen appearance was a starring role in her only silent film, director Frank Capra's (now lost) flop For the Love of Mike (1927), her last was a return to the big screen as Troy Donahue's mother in Parrish (1961). Though she could be seen throughout the latter half of the 1950's on television (and one last time in 1987's The Two Mrs. Grenvilles), she'd stopped making motion pictures by the middle of that decade. However, between 1929 and 1952, she made 60 films ... many of which are unforgettable classics. Some of her best were:
I've yet to see her other Oscar nominated performance in Private Worlds (1935).

The countdown to summer vacation officially began this morning. 14 days of school left for my older kids and only 3 for my preschooler. He was in tears about that. The older ones were in tears that they had so many more days than he did….
With summer weather right around the corner, I began digging up new recipes for the grill. I had quite the pile to try, but no working grill to try them on. I had been waiting for my husband to be in town long enough to go buy us a new one and most importantly, put it together!
I realized last week that if I continued to wait, we would never get a new grill because he is never home! So marched to my Menards, bought the biggest grill they had and almost 4 hours later, finally had it put together. Apparently, the CharBroil company and I have very differing definitions of "Easy to Assemble".
This recipe was at the top of my new grilling recipes I wanted to try. The original recipe didn't have the sugar or red pepper flakes, but the whole flavor profile of Thai food includes some sweet and spicy as well. I'm glad I added both.
Grilled Cilantro Thai Chicken
8 chicken breasts
1 C cilantro
6 cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped
3 Tb fish sauce
1 Tb soy sauce
2 Tb toasted sesame oil
2 Tb sugar
3/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1. In your food processor, blend together the cilantro, garlic, fish sauce, oil, sugar and pepper flakes. Pour the mixture over the chicken and mix it together so the chicken is completely covered on all sides with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. 15 minutes before the chicken is finished marinating, turn your grill on high and let it get hot. After it has heated, grill the chicken, skin side down first. Turn the heat down to medium and cook for 5-7 minutes. Flip over the chicken and grill another 5-7 minutes on the other side, or until the juices run clear.
**Gluten-free: Be sure to use gluten free soy sauce
**Low-carb: Use Truvia instead of sugar. You could also use Splenda, but I greatly prefer Truvia because there is no after taste.

Research shows that parents are the number one influence on their children's sexual decisions, and that the more information you give a child, the more likely he or she is to abstain. Yet only 44 percent of moms and dads have discussed the topic with their preteen, according to a recent poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation. These tips can help you become more comfortable with the subject:Start young.
Around age four, kids wonder where babies come from. This is a good time to teach them the words for female and male genitals, although you don't need to explain sex (it's best to say that babies come from Mom's belly). When your child is eight or nine, tell him about the bodily changes of puberty. Since kids often encounter sexual pressure during their preteen years (ages nine through twelve), educate your child on how to say "no" and about disease prevention. She needs basic information about vaginal and oral sex, as well as an explanation of the dangers. Make it clear that the best way to avoid STDs and pregnancy is abstinence, but that condoms and contraception can reduce these risks. To initiate a discussion, use a situation from a book, newspaper article, or TV show you've watched together. You might ask your child what he thinks of a character's actions, then offer your judgment.
Helpful tips are available online at:
Even if you're shocked by what your child asks -- such as the meaning of a crude sexual expression -- praise him for coming to you for answers. Ask him what he already knows about the topic, then give a simple explanation along with your views. If your child sees you watching a sex-filled TV show or even reading this article and asks if he can watch or read with you, explain that while you don't feel the information is appropriate for him, you'd like to discuss sex and answer any questions he might have.Share your values.
Let your child know that it's natural to be curious about sex, but he can -- and should -- resist acting on impulses. Explain your beliefs about the appropriate time and circumstances for sex.Set limits on your child's TV and computer time.
Reduce her exposure to inappropriate material by keeping close tabs on the TV shows and videos she watches. Better yet, watch the programs with her. Supervise your child when she's using the Internet.Discourage early dating.
Going out with a group of friends -- and an adult chaperone -- is fine, but permitting one-on-one dating in middle school is asking for trouble. Make sure that adults will be chaperoning the parties and events your child attends, and talk to other parents about reasonable curfews. In addition, discourage your child from dating older boys or girls, because it can raise the risk of an exploitative sexual relationship. --Lisa Collier Cool

Two park rangers were flown in to the area below the Abyss Overlook on Saturday to conduct an initial investigation and prepare the body for transport.
Park officials say the man's identity is not currently known.
The National Park Service is continuing to investigate along with the Coconino County Medical Examiner.

High-tech security cameras could be coming to some Chicago Public Schools.
The system would beam images directly to Chicago police, an would be installed at schools with the most security issues, in a bid to create a safer atmosphere in the nation's third-largest school district, with more than 400,000 students.
CPS Superintendent Jean Claude Brizard said the system would be worth the $7 million is would cost, even though CPS is currently experiencing a $612 million deficit.
Eighty security cameras will be installed in 14 troubled high schools in the city.
Security cameras were installed at Fenger High School in a pilot program, following the beating death of Derrion Albert in 2009.
FOX Chicago News first obtained the video of the attack caught on camera. The widely-circulated video prompted outrage nationwide and several safety measures have been instituted at the high school since then.
"Despite the tough economic times facing our district, we're taking additional steps to reduce crime and create a school environments that are safe for students and staff, which is vital for teaching and learning," Brizard said in a statement Sunday. "Enhancing and maintaining a real sense of safety and creating a positive environment within our schools is a significant tool in driving student outcomes."
Fenger has more than three dozen cameras at entrances, hallways and outside the building. Those cameras have helped police arrest a suspect in several burglaries. The school has seen a 59 percent drop in misconduct, and 79 percent drop in arrests since the security cameras were installed.
CPS could monitor those cameras, since they will be fed into nearby police stations and then linked to a city-wide network of cameras. The images can also be seen on police cell phones.
Chicago has a huge network of cameras which feed into the OEMC system, but it is a privacy issue for the ACLU.
There has also been a proposal to reduce the number of police officers present at these schools, to re-deploy them to the street. These cameras could end up replacing cops at schools.
The system is currently installed at two other schools in addition to Fenger. Under the plan, cameras would be expanded to high schools with higher numbers of arrests and misconduct cases. Schools selected to receive cameras are: Clemente, Hyde Park, Sullivan, Morgan Park, Orr, Marshall, Dunbar, Tilden, Bogan, Wells, Senn, Juarez, Julian and Farragut.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- State lawmakers head back to Springfield in about a week for the veto session, but there is still no bill to fix the state's pension crisis.
Sources said a conference committee is divided along party lines.
Democrats are reportedly more sensitive to the cost increases and benefit cuts to teachers and other unionized public workers but minority Republicans want more employee contributions and sacrifice in the reform bill.
State Representative Jehan Gordon-Booth said Illinois' pension should have been reformed three decades ago, and that she is prepared to vote next week.
"We are at a precipice right now, where we have to fix this problem," said Rep. Gordon-Booth, (R) 92nd District "If we don't fix this problem all of the other issues that we have in this state as it relates to our unemployment, as it relates to investment in education, as it relates to investment in training and redeveloping workers that are part of that structurally unemployed that don't have the skills for the jobs that are here, we won't be able to take care of those things as long as we have this pension obligation that we have."
The pension debt and the possibility of higher taxes to pay for it, is blamed in part for Illinois having the second highest unemployment rate in the nation.
The fall veto session begins October 22.

Americus Police increased patrols after three armed robberies within five days of each other. Each time, the victim was alone, and police think these crimes could be connected.
Americus Police are urging residents to be aware of their surroundings after three armed robberies within five days of each other.
"The patrol numbers are up, as far as the number of people we have out there, and criminal investigation division detectives are working around the clock on it, and we are making some headway," says Chief Mark Gerbino, Americus Police Dept.
Randy Walker was one of the victims. Around 1 AM on November 3rd, he was walking to the store on South Lee Street, when a tall man wearing black gloves and
"It was a clown mask, it had red hair, red nose, it had dark eye shadow under the eye, and red lips with blood dripping down the side, like a scary movie mask," says Randy Walker, Victim.
Walker fell to the ground after being hit with the gun. He tried to get up but the suspect stood over him and pointed the gun at his face.
"I was trying to talk to him like please don't shoot me, but he shot the gun towards my head,like to frighten me, or to let me know he wasn't playing," says Walker.
Officers believe this robbery could be connected to two others. On November 6th and 7th. These two robberies involved victims inside their cars.
"These suspects are standing off in the shadows at an intersection," says Gerbino.
Gerbino says a man opened the unlocked doors, got in their car and demanded money. Now he is urging people to lock their car doors.
"Personal safety 101, you have to be aware of your surroundings, so if you pull up to an intersection, if you are going to catch a red light, be aware of what is going on particularly to the curb that is closest to you, and then look around," says Gerbino.
As for Walker, he says he plans on staying inside when the sun goes down.
"I won't walk to the store as late as I did, so I try not to be out when it first gets dark, because that is when all the stuff happens," says Walker.
Police are working on leads, trying to track down who is responsible for these terrifying robberies.
Tuesday at 6:00PM, Americus Police will be at a neighborhood watch meeting in the city council chambers to discuss the robberies and safety tips for residents.

Find a pet to adopt
My name is Button!
Facts about Button
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Button's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi I'm Button. Our foster mom is a little crazy and she named us kids
after mushrooms! She said she ran out of names cause there's so many
pups here! Our mama was a stray dog who had us kids in a barn.We were
born on November 11,2012. We were just running around the countryside
until this nice rescue lady came and picked us up. She takes real good
care of us but we need a real home to run and play. We love kids and
kitty cats and we would love to come home to you!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Button, a Foster German Shepherd Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Foster, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog puppy from a breeder in Foster.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Foster already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Foster breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Foster paves the way for another one to be saved.

Thread: Wilfs plan no major changes

Wilfs plan no major changesWhile members of the media continue to encourage the owners of the team to name a general manager, this is something the Wilfs haven't believed necessary, and Zygi refused to comment on that subject. But I wouldn't be surprised if a move is made before Zygi and Mark Wilf leave the Twin Cities on Tuesday, with Spielman being put in charge of the football said of the operations.
Seems to me, the outcry for a GM was a call to dump Spielman, not promote him.
Despite the Wilfs good intentions, they continue to make questionable decisions.

Ah i see Zig man its not our talent level or coaching that needs improvement we were just unlucky to not be in the playoffs again. In other news we plan to maintain our 3 and 13 and are in good position for the first pick in the 2013 draft.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different resultsAP AD
Boy do I wish we still had Red McCombs running the show. At least his decisions could be blamed on alcohol.
wonderful.. if you suck at your job, we'll promote you..makes sense to me.

About This Test
The Pre-Professional Skills Test in Reading measures the ability to understand, analyze, and evaluate written messages. Varying in difficulty, the reading material is drawn from a variety of subject areas and real–life situations that educated adults are likely to encounter. Each passage is followed by questions that are based on its content and that relate to a variety of reading skills. All questions can be answered by using information contained within the passage; no question requires outside knowledge of the content.
The test consists of three types of stimulus material: long passages of approximately 200 words with 4 to 7 questions, short passages of approximately 100 words with 2 or 3 questions, and brief statements followed by a single question. Passages are drawn from both print and electronic media, such as newspapers, magazines, journals, nonfiction books, novels, online articles, and visual representations. Questions in each of the three formats may pose tasks of varying difficulty and test any of the skills identified in the Topics Covered section.
This test may contain some questions that will not count toward your score.
