Sen. Rand Paul Calls for 'Reasonable Sentence' for Edward SnowdenSubmitted by davyC on Sun, 01/05/2014 - 14:21
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a critic of the NSA who is bringing a class action lawsuit against its surveillance programs, said on "This Week" that he does not believe NSA leaker Edward Snowden should be given clemency, but that he should be offered a "fair trial with a reasonable sentence" to allow him to return to the U.S. to face charges.

Sad, sad,sad. It sounds like Rand is using Snowden to get a dig
...in at Clapper (which Rand was correct about), but he threw the baby out with the bathwater.
Rand should never have implicated Snowden just to get at Clapper.
I know he's trying to appease the rotted republican party, but c'mon - STAY PRINCIPLED for God's sake.
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."
-Ron Paul
Are you sure?
You can speak for Ron Paul?
First of all Ron Paul hasn't had to be put on the spot on the question like Rand Paul.
You realize you just said Ron Paul is for applying the rule of law selectively.
I've never heard him say such a thing.
He said no such thing
On one hand we have a man alerting the citizens about illegal activity on the part of a government agency.
On the other hand we have a government employee lying to the citizens AND their representatives about that illegal activity. In what universe is this comparable? As a matter of fact, Snowden's silence would have constituted misprision of a felony - a crime. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/4
Leges sine moribus vanae
I'm Sure....
The questioner mentions Rand's stance on Snowden, then asks Ron what he thinks of Snowden. Ron begins the response with, "Edward Snowden is a hero."
@ 1:37 mark
Reformed neocon
"In reality, the Constitution itself is incapable of achieving what we would like in limiting government power, no matter how well written."
~ Ron Paul, End the Fed
I've about had it with Rand.
I've about had it with Rand. I just can't handle his political correctness and wishy washy in the middle of the road politics.
Where is RON when we need him??
If you disagree with me on anything you are not a real libertarian...
Ron is standing with Rand 99% and saying there are people who try to drive wedges between him and Rand, and those people didn't get Ron in the first place. Go figure.
the man loves
his son and wants to support him as most fathers would, however, if Rand keeps this up, by 2016 Ron may have to reverse those percentages.
I don't agree
Because as Rand teaches the GOP and world, through MSM, and gains more acceptance in the public, and we take those seats he needs to achieve our mutual goals.. I'm betting Ron will shock and awe those who are claiming Ron Paul is their guy.. because Ron knows, those who are claiming him, didn't do what he asked, didn't do what he showed us by example.. he knows who is standing with the Paul family and who creates wedges. Wedges will not work for the Pauls.
ron paul
when asked what a person can do to spread liberty and the libertarian message said people should do whatever they want, whatever appeals to them, and in their own way. i can dig up the quote (again) if you like.
"shock & awe" ? did you really write that? sounds more like mad dog mccain language.
people can love ron and not care so much for rand without driving wedges. who even thinks like that? and presumes to speak for the paul family?
Ron Paul said
He agrees with Rand 99% and people who try to divide him and Rand are wedge drivers.
first, don't think
for one minute i've forgotten all the times you've bad mouthed and dissed ron paul (the real teacher).
& what are you talking about? it's pretty obvious rand is trying to distance himself from his dad. over the next couple of years you'll see more of that. his big fear is that the gop/establishment would see him as too much like his dad, and ruin his prez bid.
Well I forgot
so show me what you're talking about because I wouldn't be in the GOP if not for Ron Paul.
interesting & telling
that you responded to the first point, but not the one being discussed. ron paul has gone on record to say there is hardly any difference between the two parties.
Nader said it better in 1996
The duopoly is like coke and pepsi. Ron Paul remains a Republican (his Libertarian stint was all of 6 months so he could take the nomination from a Libertarian.. just like Barr and GJ...).
Nader never belonged to a major party. I didn't join a major party until 2011 FOR Ron Paul, I stayed in because I got the message, and he's right.. GOP lost it's way, and it's our job to help them.. of course they don't want us or our help.
I retract
my earlier comment. After reading RobHino's comments and a few other very-detailed comments, I have changed my mind.
I have no one to blame for the errors contained in my earlier comment than myself. It seems that almost every time I trust the 'meat of the thread' WITHOUT further verifying it, I end up with 'egg on my face'!!
I must be more responsible with my comments.
Thank you to those who actually further researched the assertions presented here...
O.P.O.G.G. - Fighting the attempted devolution of the rEVOLution
Ron Paul 2012...and beyond
What a choice!
Let's see...Snowden can either live like a rock star in a nation that used to be communist, or return as a accused traitor to a nation that currently strives to be communist.
What do you mean "used to be Communist"?
It still is Communist, it has just morphed into something with an acceptable face, but the End Game is still the same.
What is Russia today and why Snowden wants OUT????
by this logic
does the senator think daniel ellsberg should have been given a "reasonable" sentence as well?
Daniel Ellsberg was charged with theft
of Government property, but the prosecution screwed up so badly that it was thrown out.
Daniel Ellsberg went through due process.
i kinda agree
i agree with rand on clapper although on snowden i think he should be reprimanded in some way but not jail. if anything i would consider his time served for having to spend the winter in russia.
this is not a deal breaker for me and i (like ron paul) will still be supporting rand over hellary in 2016.
Official Daily Paul BTC address: 16oZXSGAcDrSbZeBnSu84w5UWwbLtZsBms
Rand Paul 2016
Rand Paul's betrayal was much worse
Snowden was a person doing wrong who tryed to right himself.
Rand Paul is a person who did much worse and never tryed to right himself.
If you ask me Rand needs a greater sentence than showden, in fact snowden needs to be hired as the head of NSA.
Here is a reasonable sentence for Rand Paul.
"You are a disgrace."
"Although it was the middle of winter, I finally realized that, within me, summer was inextinguishable." — Albert Camus
Maybe he was thinking of Obama returning from his
lavish Hawaiian vacation.
If freedom of the press would protect a reporter from being punished for revealing a political crime story, wouldn't the same concept apply to Snowden who reported to the American public the extra Constitutional activities of the federal government.
I say Rand is way off base, and this smacks of attempting to curry support from both sides of the fence.
Shame on you Rand.
"Bend over and grab your ankles" should be etched in stone at the entrance to every government building and every government office.
Rand is usually pretty careful
I reserve judgement for now.
did not sell secrets to our enemies for personal gain...in fact he gave up a lot to expose LIES and CRIMES being committed by the criminal establishment.
The Constitution is the law of the land and the 4th Amendment is very clear on what the law is. You need probable cause to investigate a citizen.
So are we not a nation of laws and not a nation of men?
It is clear to me who the TRAITORS are and it is THEY that should be tried for treason!
Why should he go
to jail? For telling us who he works for is breaking the law? So he goes to jail? It makes no sense to me at all.

Parents, teachers: What are your education policy priorities?
With education policy continuing to be a hot-button issue statewide, I've been a guest on Wisconsin Public Radio's Central Time afternoon radio show with increasing frequency.
I always like the second part of the interview best, because that's when the phone lines open up and people weigh in from all over the state. On Monday's show, we discussed the competing education policy priorities of the Republican majority in the state Legislature and the leaders of K-12 school districts.

Marquette TA sparks international controversy after squelching gay marriage discussion in ethics class
A controversy involving a teaching assistant, a tenured faculty member and a recorded conversation about whether gay marriage should have been allowed as part of a discussion in an ethics theory class has put Marquette University in the international spotlight.
A student who objected to a teaching assistant's handling of the class discussion recorded his conversation with her after class, shared that recording with several faculty members, and the recording took on a life of its own. It ended up being the subject of a faculty member's blog, and landed in the hands of a reporter for Inside Higher Ed, a national online source for news, opinions and jobs in higher education.
Now an open letter to Marquette's top administrators written and posted online by a Louisana State University professor in support of the teaching assistant is gathering co-signatures from professors and graduate students around the world. The first to co-sign it is Bonnie Honig, a feminist and prominent political science professor at Brown University. »Read Full Blog Post(17)

Hmong charter school combines 10th anniversary with veterans celebrations
The Hmong-American Peace Academy is celebrating its 10th anniversary Friday, along with the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War and the 40th anniversary of the dispersion of Hmong people, according to advocacy group Milwaukee Charter School Advocates.
HAPA, located at 4601 N. 84th St., once operated as a K-8 but in the last decade expanded to include high school grades. Total enrollment was 1,150 in 2013-'14. It's aiming to grow to 2,000 students in the next three years, according to the Advocates.
HAPA is authorized by Milwaukee Public Schools and employs its own staff. It primarily educates first- and second-generation immigrant families and incorporates Hmong history, culture and language. Principal Chris Her-Xiong estimated approximately 40% of students are immigrants and 60% are the children of immigrants.
The celebration at the school Friday runs from 10 a.m. to noon and is open to the public.
HAPA students and families are also scheduled to have a float in the Veterans Day Parade in downtown Milwaukee on Saturday. (2)
MPS' Washington High selected to develop mobile app
The name — Washington High School of Information Technology — speaks for itself.
Even more so now that the MPS school was selected as one of 10 nationwide, and the only in the Midwest, to receive mobile application development and entrepreneurship curriculum aimed at fostering the next generation of developers and entrepreneurs.
The program, created by the nonprofit National Academy Foundation, and technology firm Lenovo, will allow Washington students to work with developers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to design and develop a mobile app. Lenovo will provide the school with tablets and laptops to aid the students in the development process. Students will also create a business plan for taking the app to market.
The National Academy Foundation offers schools nationwide with programming in different subject "academies." Washington offers a NAF information technology academy that includes seven information technology courses, job shadowing opportunities and biannual career fairs.
Rocketship Education to expand into Washington, D.C.
Rocketship Education, a national charter-school network headquartered in California and part of the Milwaukee education scene, has gotten the green light to open a school in Washington, D.C., according to The Washington Post.
Rocketship's first national expansion site was Milwaukee, and it has since expanded to Nashville, Tenn. The D.C. school is slated to open in 2016, according to the Post.
The organization has weathered some major growing pains in Milwaukee and as a system, but has maintained its emphasis on closing the achievement gap, using technology to personalize learning and reduce costs, and encouraging parents to be grassroots advocates. Critics have said the schools lack full-time art and music offerings, offer English-only instruction and send local dollars for public schools to the national organization.
Milwaukee's Rocketship Southside Community Prep, 3003 W. Cleveland Ave., is now in its second year. It's too new to get a state report card, but an alternate state rating system for such programs says the school made "satisfactory progress" in 2013-'14.

NYT criticizes Bucks owners seeking tax dollars for new arena as school sites fester
New York Times reporter Michael Powell has written a blistering story about the new Milwaukee Bucks owners and their pursuit of public financing for a new sports arena, while public athletic facilities in the city fester from neglect.
"An arena fairy tale with blurred morals" offers this juxtaposition: A Lincoln Park playing field used by a youth football team is pitted with dangerous holes and has no goal posts. The wealthy new owners of the Bucks are in charge of a team projected to earn $89 million annually, yet they say they cannot afford a new arena without taxpayer support.
"The Bucks' new owners, (Marc) Lasry and Wesley Edens, have in fact promised to work 'in partnership' with the city," Powell writes. "They did not make clear if their notion extended to letting the public take a dip in an N.B.A. owner's many revenue streams." »Read Full Blog Post(7)

Student loan debt costing U.S. housing market $83 billion annually in lost home sales, study says
Student loan debt is costing the U.S. housing market $83 billion annually in lost home sales, a recent study from a home building industry consultant in California estimates.
Every $250 in monthly household student loan debt payments reduces that household's home purchasing power by $44,000, the study by John Burns Consulting in Irvine projected.
That reduced buying power translates into an $83 billion loss in housing sales every year, or about 8% of all home sales, the study concluded. »Read Full Blog Post(29)

excellent location very comfort room cleanness good service
The location was perfect as all the main churches and galleries are in easy walking distance We ate really well in some of the small trattorias which were recommended to us by the staff on reception.
Position, acoustic insulation
Wi-Fi was "temporary" out of order, room, bathroom were too small
The breakfast here is good.
Wi-Fi failed during the whole stay
Location to the main town and walking distance to the leather markets and train station
Lift only goes to level 3, but hay what was walking up one more set of stairs to get to our room.
location nice size room
bathroom a bit odd.
Great location, very quiet.
The location is the best. The Duomo is just a few meters away. The train station and bus stations are just about 15- minute walk. Aida was very helpful and accommodating. She made our stay very comfortable and more enjoyable.
The bathroom emitted a foul odor maybe for lack of proper vent. I needed to buy a room essence to at least mask the smell. The lavatory was clogged. No shower enclosure making the bathroom all wet after shower.
Great location and good comfort. Overall good value for money considering the location
A little bit dated
Vela émeut center at the city
The stationnement
Very friendly helpful staff. Great location. Good breakfast
The location was perfect. It is small, but priced well enough. Inviting lobby. Clean. Great place to sleep and quickly enjoy the next day.
It is bare bones.
The best part of the hotel is the location as it is centrally located on one of the main streets and therefore a visitor has easy access to all of the important cultural sites, restaurants and shopping.
I would consider the hotel fair.The room was clean but basic and did not offer any amenities, not even a refrigerator. I would compare it to more of a hospital room (including the TV which is anchored up high on the wall). Another detraction was that our window opened out onto an airshaft with an opposite window into someone's apartment. Considering what we paid, we certainly had expected more. The staff was helpful if asked but not overly accommodating.
Central location Value for money Cleanliness Helpful staff
Limited breakfast
Location Breakfast Staff was really nice
wifi poor signal
Facilities. staff friendly central position
the koffie the orange juice
the position is the best
bathroom quite poor, wifi didn't work with my mac, the breakfast was also nothing special
The location is very good. Right next to the cathedral in the center of historical area.
The staff at the breakfast was not very friendly who complained that i asked the from desk because the breakfast room wasn't open at the stated time.
Central location to train station and all the sights.
Hair dryer was weak. WiFi took some time to work efficiently.
Location was perfect, to your left you walk right into the Duomo, to your right, 10 minutes away, Ponte Vecchio. Train station 12 minute walk.
Toilette did not work in our room, we had to wait till following day to be switched. They did a slight discount for the inconvenience. Towels for showering are equivalent to a large tea towel. Beds are very hard.
Excellent location in the heart of Florence; nice size rooms; good breakfast with a variety of foods
Very noisy: not very sound proof so we could hear music and various noises from the street, as well as other guests basically screaming (though this has more to do with the lack of manners of said guests)
Hotel is very close to the center of Florence. It's very convenient to visit any affections. No other transportation needs, just by foot you can go anywhere in Florence. The bathroom is very very small. Anyone from north America will consider it as unacunacceptable.
Bathroom is too small.
Excellent location. very good decoration in reception area. The lady in the reception is very nice and always willing to help.
one room we stayed is facing the street. It was noicy before 11pm.
Great location. Recently renovated, excellent front desk service and b'fast. We had a triple room, comfortable, silent, with a large bathroom. Great value for money

Denial is much more than a river running through Cairo. It's an understandable, if unhelpful, response to a fairly grim reality, such as the NHS's is currently.
A very smart friend recently observed that just now, the NHS is working to two planning strategies.
The NHS "is a triumphant example of the superiority of collective action and public initiative applied to a segment of society, where commercial principles are seen at their worst"
Aneurin Bevan, In Place of Fear, 1952, page 85
'Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.' – Proverbs 29:18
Simon Stevens is a subtle subversive: a highly effective character type. NHS England's Five-Year Forward View sets out his broad direction of travel. And it sends a neat, subtextual message to political and system leaders, which they may even at some point notice.
Today's Times leads with a well-briefed story about how senior Tories (no names, obviously) now regard having gone ahead with their NHS reforms.
The piece is unambiguous that the chaotic, hugely disruptive nature of the reforms was understood before the party's MPs supported what became the 2012 Act in vote after vote after vote.
It is, however, silent on why they went ahead with them regardless.
Folly or knavery?
With the delivery of Secretary Of State Jeremy 'Bellflinger' Hunt's conference speech yesterday and Prime Minister 'That Nice Mr' David Cameron's speech today, health policy fans have much to digest.
Let us start with Mr Hunt.
Mascara Kid Andy Burnham's speech to the Labour Party conference today told us little that had not been extensively trailed in his previous speeches and in the party's policy review led by Sir John Oldham.
Well, I have this from a very good source. "£2.5 bn fund (mansion tax, fags) to fund 20,000 nurses, and 8,000 GPs, 5,000 social/community care workers and 3,000 midwives by 2020".
There are problems with going down the workforce number target route. Not because it isn't important to have the right workforce - skill mix and numbers. It is important.
Labour have briefed the BBC's Nick Robinson to trail an announcement of increased NHS spending in Ed Miliband's leader's speech tomorrow - his last as leader before next year's General Election.
Many people don't really understand the NHS, which might be OK if they didn't also try to run it or make policy about it.
So in the interests of helping people understand it a bit better, I'm going to let you in on a secret: the NHS is Russia, basically.
Notoriously big and populous; notoriously hard to govern; and notoriously difficult to conquer.
Obviously, there are a few minor differences. The NHS doesn't drink vodka for breakfast, or have fairly significant oil reserves.
And it's not as if neo-liberal governments are trying to trash the NHS's economy ... oh, hang on ...

Organizing day? Encouragement? Abroad?
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 05-22-2008 - 8:15am
I'm Tash and new to the board. I guess I'm looking for some words of advice and encouragement.
By way of background, my DS is 18 months and I am expecting for Sept. A baby girl. DH and I have lived abroad for 8 years and after my maternity leave was up with DS, I quit my job as a corporate lawyer to stay at home. DH works 12 hour days. I had worked in the field for 8 years and wasn't conflicted by my decision at all. I knew for many many years that I didn't want to continue the work travel, the multiple all nighters and being at my work's beck and call when I had children. I plan to go back to a different job/field when my kids are in school (or maybe part time in 4 or 5 years or so).
Perhaps my hormones are getting the best of me but I can't quite shake some negative feelings I've been having lately. I'm not sure where it's coming from since I have a small, but great group of english speaking SAHMs where I live, we have baby groups, meet at parks, have music classes, etc. It takes up some of the slack when you don't live near family or childhood friends, but it's not a replacement since we haven't known each other for long.
I have been feeling terribly guilty lately about my son, who is getting older now. I feel like since I left my professional life to be with him, I should get my act together and have a more structured day for him. More thought put into activities or perhaps a real plan about how to teach him, stimulate him. It used to be easier, but he is now seemingly a little bored by exploring the house, playing with his toys and listening to my stories.
To be fair, I guess, I had terrible nausea during my first trimester and have still been feeling tired and cranky up to now. I'm 22 weeks into my pregnancy. I still feel guilty about him though. Darn it.
Here are my specific questions:
How do you organize your days?
How much time do you spend doing chores? Do you only do them during the naps or otherwise?
How much actual planned, structured time would you spend educating, playing with your 18 month old?
How much time do you plan for yourself?
What do you do if you really feel tired and still have an 18 month old running around?
Thanks for your input. I should just suck it up and enjoy this time I'm sure. Just having one of those days.

I will NOT respond telling anyone why I didn't use something sent to me, just assume I didn't think it was right for the site. Many sites posted here, I have a good working relationship with them and they get the benefit of the doubt, newbies do not until I see how they post and what their agenda may be.

NASCAR Announces Members Of Citizen Journalists Media Corps: NASCAR recently announced the members of the newly-formed "NASCAR Citizen Journalists Media Corps." This group of new media consists of a range of professional and amateur experience covering NASCAR. One common theme is that each site is dedicated to providing information about NASCAR to a growing readership. After a lengthy review process, which included evaluating independent Web sites on professionalism, reporting and commentary, and use of social networking tools, 28 sites [down to 20 as of 2-18-2014] were invited to be part of the new media corps. In addition, NASCAR Public Relations has launched a page on Delicious.com that provides links to each of the Citizen Journalists web sites [which no longer works as of 8-22-2014].
Members of the corps will have the opportunity to apply for media credentials but like all media, will be expected to abide by the standards of professional conduct (i.e. no autographs, photos with drivers, etc.) They will also have access to other media-driven events and teleconferences and NASCAR's media-only website. NASCAR will provide access to the information, it's up to the journalists to tell the story. The traditional media that cover the sport on a day-to-day basis will continue to be the cornerstone of NASCAR news and information. However, as traditional news coverage continues to decline across the board for all sports, it is important to recognize the emerging media sources that provide unique points of view to growing audiences.

Filling a Need: Donating Your Plus-Size Clothing After the Holidays
Posted by Jane Janeczko on January 7, 2014
As we move into colder weather, everyone is starting to bundle up. Personally, I really love winter. The snow, the warm fires, the drinks, the scarves – I love it all. However, I'm lucky enough that I do not need to worry about having the clothes with which to dress warmly enough.
Many people struggle to keep warm during the cold weather because they can't afford the right boots, sweaters, and coats to keep out the frigid winter air. This can affect plus-size individuals even more so because it is so much harder to find plus-size clothes at discount prices. This makes plus-size clothing donation so, so important, especially in the winter.

A few week's ago I injured my ankle while I was running on the treadmill. I have no idea how it happened but I'm thankful it's not serious. I am bummed that I cannot run since I've worked my way up to 6 miles (I haven't ran that in over 5 years!). In the meantime, I'm trying to keep off of it but finding creative ways to still workout while recovering. I'm hoping this workout will help someone else that has a foot injury like me.
This workout takes about 10 minutes. Today's workout will lift and tone your derriere. you will work the glutes from two angles to create nice, tight, shapely assests! LOL Best of all, you don't need an expensive membership to a barre studio or any equipment to work to this exercise (though I am demonstrating on a bosu ball but not necessary). Are you ready to get started? Press Play to follow along!Exercise #1: Kneeling seat work facing profile – side seat Set up: Bring your folded blanket, think mat or bosu ball a few inches from wall. Have your left knee on the bosu ball and your right knee off the mat. Your left arm reaches long so you can grip onto the ballet barre; your right hand reaches across your upper body to grab ballet barre – this will help keep your shoulders square and to remind your to keep your chest up, chin up and posture up right. Pull your abs in, tuck your hips under slightly to engage your glutes, take your right leg with 3/4th bent knee to a turn out position (compare to a clock, right knee is facing 4 o'clock). Muscles worked: gluteus medius The movement:
- leg is 3/4th bent at knee: lower and lift your 3/4 bent leg, one inch up and one inch down. Do 10x's 3 reps
- Bend and a big stretch: small movement at the knee with a bend and a straighten. Really squeeze every muscles from your glutes to your thighs to your toes. Do 8x's 3 reps
- Straight leg with small circles: keep your leg straight, toe pointed and draw small circles with your toe the size of a quater. Do 10x's, 1 rep. Repeat circles in opposite directions; 10x's, 1 rep.
- Straight leg lifts: lower and lift your straight leg, one inch up and one inch down range of motion. Goal is to not have your foot touch the ground. Do 10's, 3 reps.
- Press back with flexed foot: with your leg bent at 90 degree angle at the knee, press your foot back an inch, hold for one second while squeezing your glutes, and release. Optional: add a 3 lb. dumbell for extra resistance. Do 8 x'3 reps.
- Curls: your knee is bent at a 90 degree angle, keep your hips tucked under and abs tight, curl your foot towards your glutes and release. the movement should be small and percise. Optional add a 3 lb. dumbell for extra resistance. Do 8 x's, 3 reps.
- 1 press back, 1 curl combo: With your knee bent at 90 degree angle, perform 1 press back/ 1 curl = 1 rep. Optional: add a 3lb dumbell for extra resistance. Do 8 x's, 3 reps.
Have fun and play around with the movent. Be creative! If you do these correctly you will feel the burn!

Opponents of Gov. Scott Walker were collecting signatures for a recall petition amid a rush of holiday shoppers in Brookfield over the weekend.
Although police officers responded to seven complaints of signature collection efforts impeding traffic or blocking driveways Nov. 25 and 27, no citations were issued.
"We were pretty much warning them that they can't obstruct traffic," Capt. Jim Adlam said. "You can't block driveway access; you can't take over someone's parking lot or business if they don't want you to."
According to city of Brookfield police reports:
The first interaction came when a man stationed in a median in the 17000 block of Bluemound Road was collecting signatures just before 11:30 a.m. Nov. 25. He was told to relocate to a sidewalk.
Officers then responded to a report that people collecting signatures were obstructing traffic near the intersection of Brook Lane and Capitol Drive just before noon Nov. 25.
A number of people who had parked their cars at the nearby North Shore Bank, 15830 W. Capitol Drive, were told to move their cars, and complied.
Minutes later, the department responded to a report of people collecting signatures on a sidewalk outside Midwest Best Western, 1005 S. Moorland Road, and stopping traffic.
An officer observed the group and found no violations.
Officers then responded to the Sheraton Hotel, 375 S. Moorland Road, just before 1 p.m. for a report of three opponents of Walker stationed along the north sidewalk, and two Walker supporters stationed along the south sidewalk.
A representative of the Sheraton said people were coming inside to ask for petitions, and that the hotel did not want to be associated with either side of the issue.
The protesters were told not to conduct political transactions on hotel property.
Officers then traveled back across the city just before 1:30 p.m. Nov. 25 for a group of protesters at North Shore Bank.
The gathering dispersed within 20 minutes, and officers witnessed no violations.
Officers also called to Brookfield Square Mall, 95 N. Moorland Road, twice on Nov. 27 for reports that people collecting signatures were impeding traffic.

Durag Dynasty - Fish Meat
Artist: Durag Dynasty
Featuring: Prodigy
Producer: Alchemist
Album: 360 Waves
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 4 votes )
Like seafood? Then the debut feature and latest single from Durag Dynasty is liable to kill your appetite for a good, long while. If you're fond of certifiably gully West Coast hip-hop, on the other hand, your mouth should be watering as you hit play. First to flow over The Alchemist's "disgusting [beat]," guest emcee Prodigy leaves no doubt about what's on the menu: "I got a rusty gemstar that'll open up your face like Fish Meat." Crewmates Planet Asia, Tristate and Killer Ben follow the Mobb Deep member's contribution with equally grimy 16s. Director Ryan Spencer captures the joint's moody, noirish vibe in his official visuals. Feeling it? More awaits on the underground supergroup's Alchemist-produced collaborative debut, 360 Waves, released back in March via Nature Sounds.

|Tennessee again finds itself in 1-2 hole
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 21 September 2008 12:53
``This one's on me. I'm a big boy with broad shoulders. I can handle it,'' said Fulmer after the Vols (1-2, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) lost 30-6 to the No. 4 Gators (3-0, 1-0) on Saturday.
What remains to be seen is if Fulmer can handle another season of trying to turn his team's season around as Vols fans question his effectiveness as a coach.
It doesn't look promising for Tennessee. In the next three weeks, the Vols must travel to No. 15 Auburn, which is sure to be disgruntled after a close loss to LSU, and No. 3 Georgia.
Fulmer was already reminding reporters in his post-game press conference about how his team responded last season to its 1-2 start. After a solid win over Georgia and a blowout loss to Alabama, Tennessee won its last five games to capture the SEC East title.
f other people had given up on us early,'' Fulmer said. ``We won't give up, and we've got a chance to be there yet. It's just a little bit harder road.''
It's not just the Vols' schedule that makes the road harder this season. Last season's comeback came at the hands of fourth-year veteran quarterback Erik Ainge and offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe.
This season, Jonathan Crompton is leading a new offense under first-year offensive coordinator Dave Clawson. Crompton has shown the ability to put together long drives but has a habit of making huge mistakes at crucial moments.
Crompton, who has four interceptions and only two touchdown passes this season, turned the ball over twice after driving the Vols to the Florida 1 on Saturday. Scores on both possessions would have put Tennessee right back into the game.
In the second quarter, Crompton dropped the ball after bumping into a teammate and Gators defensive end Carlos Dunlap fell on it. The next time down, he was picked off in the end zone by Janoris Jenkins right before halftime.
To be fair, it wasn't just Crompton holding the team back.
ames - who returned a punt for a touchdown - and averaged only 37.5 yards on four kicks.
``We stopped ourselves,'' Crompton said. ``Our defense played a good game. If we don't shoot ourselves in the foot, we don't give up that many points.''
It's a familiar refrain. Mistakes cost the Vols a 27-24 overtime loss in the season opener to UCLA and kept Tennessee from putting more points up in a 35-3 win over UAB.
The scenario is all too familiar for Fulmer, who is now 5-12 against Florida. Since winning the 1998 national championship, he's 20-25 against ranked opponents and 13-14 against Florida, Georgia and Alabama combined.
That's not enough to appease the Tennessee fans, who peppered Knoxville sports radio shows and football message boards Saturday night calling for Fulmer's resignation and moaning the Vols' mediocrity.
Fulmer received a new contract in the offseason worth an average $3 million annually over the next seven seasons. He receives built-in raises each season, raises for an SEC championship or BCS bowl appearance and an automatic one-year extension for every eight-win season.
He's got a lot of work to do if he wants a shot at that SEC championship-triggered raise or an eighth win.
Otherwise, he may be spending the postseason at the Independence Bowl or even at home.
ulmer said. ``We've played three ball games, and there's a lot of football yet to be played this season.''
