Chief Justice John Roberts
Updated: November 10, 2013 6:23AM
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan raised the right alarm bell on Tuesday as the court discussed potentially lifting the overall limits on the amount an individual can contribute to federal candidates each election cycle:
The folks who can donate the big bucks, Kagan said during oral arguments, will earn "a very, very special place at the table."
As if we don't already have enough of that.
Unfortunately, Kagan appeared to be in the minority Tuesday as the justices heard oral arguments in a major campaign finance case, McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission.
For 40 years, the court has upheld limits on contributions made to political candidates and party committees. In its landmark, and our view ill-advised, 2010 Citizens United case, the court struck down the other side of campaign finance: limits on independent campaign spending by corporations and unions.
But thus far the court has never touched limits on individual contributions, money given directly to candidates. The rationale has been the risk of corruption, that elected officials will feel indebted to supporters who donate large sums. The limits apply to individual donations to a candidate — that limit is $2,600 — as well as to the total one person can donate for all candidates for federal office — $48,600 for candidates and $74,600 to political parties and political action committees for a total of $123,200. Without the current limits, the government's lawyers argue, one person could give more than $3.5 million.
The aggregate limits are what's at issue in the McCutcheon case. Shaun McCutcheon, an Alabama businessman, wants to give that $2,600 amount to as many candidates as he desires. A ceiling on McCutcheon's total donations violates his First Amendment right to free speech, he argues. Joining McCutcheon in the case is the Republican National Committee.
There is a definite logic to McCutcheon's argument but it is outweighed by another more powerful argument forwarded by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: "By having these limits, you are promoting democratic participation," she said. "Then the little people will count some."
Later in the day President Barack Obama said scrapping the limits would essentially eliminate all rules on how campaigns are financed: "There aren't a lot of functioning democracies around the world that work this way, where you can basically have millionaires and billionaires bankrolling whoever they want, however they want, in some cases undisclosed. And what it means is ordinary Americans are shut out of the process."
Citizens United opened the door to that reality in America. Lifting the caps in McCutcheon will only do more harm.
On its face, lifting the cap on the aggregate contribution amount doesn't seem monumental. But in the arcane world of campaign finance, the impact could be dramatic.
Federal candidates often set up joint fund-raising committees that take in money for more than one candidate or party committees. The joint fund-raising committee can then spend all the money it has collected, far more than individual limits allow, on a single candidate. So the higher the aggregate, the more money can be funneled to an individual candidate.
"Aggregate limits combat corruption," explained Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr.
When a three-judge panel last year upheld the overall limits, it said they were needed to prevent the evasion of the base limits.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. appeared to be looking for a middle ground on Tuesday, potentially striking down aggregate limits on candidate contributions but maintaining a separate limit on contributions to multiple political committees.
Since the 1976 Buckley v. Valeo decision, the Supreme Court has upheld limits on campaign contributions put in place by Congress. In the court's ruling on McCutcheon, nothing less will do.

Motorcyclist critical in I-95 crash
A 51-year-old Delray Beach man was critically injured in a motorcycle crash on Interstate 95 in St. Johns County on Thursday evening, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
State troopers said Larry Middleton was riding south in the right lane at about 7 p.m. when his motorcycle slowed, went into the emergency lane and struck a call box pole at mile marker 319.
Troopers said Middleton lost control of the motorcycle, which landed on top of him on the grass shoulder.
Middleton was flown to Orange Park Medical Center in critical but stable condition.
Troopers said they're investigating the crash. They said alcohol was not a factor.

Dates: January 12, February 15, March 15, April 13, May 25, June 22, July 20, September 21. Start Time: 11:00 AM.
Kensington Market is a distinctive multicultural neighbourhood in the core of the city. An older neighbourhood and one of the city's most well-known. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in November 2006. Bordering Chinatown, the indoor/outdoor market may be one of the most photographed sites in Toronto. To some, gritty and rugged, to others, a throwback of the way life once was, to foodies, heaven. Relatively untouched for years, Kensington has been undergoing a state of gentrification, without losing its character. Explore one of the last authentic markets in Toronto on our Taste of Kensington Food Tour.

"Commute Shoes" That Won't Make You Look All '80s
Don't get us wrong. We love the decade of our youth as much as the next woman, but we're so past reliving the fancy-work-dress-and-sneakers trend. Wear these flats as you schlep to the office—after all, they're nice enough that you may skip switching into your heels.
By Ava Feuer
Made for walking
Special technology makes these skimmers more flexible than your average shoe, and we can't turn down the regal blue tone and crest. Betunia, $69; Aeresoles.

An Omaha man who robbed two banks while on furlough from federal prison will spend the next 7 years back in prison.
Albert Dansby, 59, was serving an 8-year sentence for four bank robberies when the Bureau of Prisons placed him on furlough last July.
The feds put him on a bus from the federal facility in Texas to a half-way house in Hastings, Nebraska.
Investigators said Dansby never made it there. He got off the bus in Omaha and robbed the US Bank at 17th and Farnam on July 24, 2013. He got away with $1,914.
On August 9, 2013, he robbed the Bank of the West at 19th and Harney for $3,502. In both cases he gave the teller's a note demanding cash.
According to U.S. Attorney Deborah Gilg, Dansby admitted that he robbed the banks so he could buy crack cocaine.

A beautiful villa with its own private swimming pool nestled in the Tuscan hills
Il Fienile is the original villa of Agriturismo Borgo Casorelle. No expense was spared when this 250 year old villa was restored. The villa can comfortably sleep six people (eight if you include the pull-out couch) and comes complete with its own private swimming pool, gardens, and covered terraces.

The main floor of Il Fienile has one bedroom (with en-suite washroom), two living rooms (seating areas), two bathrooms and a large eat-in kitchen. It also has no fewer than seven walkouts to the various gardens and terraces at your disposal. This unique layout brings the outdoors into the home, immersing you in Tuscany's beautiful nature. The kitchen, complete with oven, stove and full size refrigerator comfortably seats 8 people. It has two large walkouts to a covered terrace, allowing our guests to enjoy their meals either indoors or out. One of the two large seating areas backs onto the kitchen, making it the perfect layout for entertaining guest while preparing a 'spuntino' or meal.

Vaughan in Action Annual Fundraising Dinner
There was a lot of fun to be had at Vaughan In Action's Annual Fundraising Dinner. This year's event was held at Riviera Parque Banquet Hall. While everyone started piling in during reception, guests took this time to make sure to greet their fellow participants before heading to their respective tables. The entertainment for the evening included a dance from the VIA Performers of the Day program, music by BB Blanc Inc., raffles, and live and silent auctions for everyone to participate in! Soon after the performances wrapped up, the organizers opened up the dance floor for all guests to dance the night away. Many guests were kind enough to drop off generous donations for both Vaughan in Action and the live and silent auction. All funds raised will be going towards the Vaughan In Action Community Program. A special thank you goes out to the sponsors of this year's event—Powerstream, VIA Disposal, Investors Group and Superior Printing. Vaughan In Action is a non-profit organization and a registered charity which offers support services to both adults and youth living with intellectual disabilities.

Update: Apple has released the design files for the iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus! Page 16 and 17 of this pdf have everything you need to know to design a case for these awesome new phones. Be sure and enter our contest and be one of the first iPhone 6 cases ever 3D Printed!
Original Post: Did you watch the Apple announcement? Are you excited about the new iPhone 6/6plus? Are you counting the seconds until you can get your hands on the Apple Watch?
UPDATE 9/11: Some amazing Shapeways Community Members put together a <beta> 3D CAD file of the Apple Watch! It's based on the specs Apple announced, and while not Apple official, should serve as a great starting point for all interested in designing Apple Watch accessories. You can download the .stl of the Apple Watch design files here. Special thanks to Michael Christensen for sharing this in our Apple forum!
I've been counting the minutes for months now and seeing Phil show off the iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus and seeing Super Evil Megacorp's gaming experience made me drool millions of pixels in anticipation of their September 19th launch into the world. The new iPhone camera has Focus Pixels, which means you're essentially carrying a DSLR in your pocket. Just imagine, our 3D scans will be sharper than ever!
Shapeways has always been one of the first to market with accessories when new consumer electronics come out. Our communities ability to responsively create designs and leverage our short lead times is unparalleled by any other accessories company in the world. The cases that you'll see in the Apple store were modeled months ago and have been in production all summer. Alongside the new phones, Apple announced a new line of silicone and leather cases, but I think we know our Nylon looks the coolest when it comes to pimping your iDevices. We are eager to see what cases, stands and accessories you make for this new line of apple products and will handsomely reward those who do it best (details to come when the design files are announced by Apple later in September).
Shapeways has a long history of being one of the first to market with iAccessories. We were keeping the iPhone classy back in early 2012 with this 4/4s MacPro Case:
We gave you the design files the moment they were available for the exciting new iPhone 5, hosting a contest around it. The Sweater Case by ArtizanWork that won is still a favorite of ours to show off at events and through our crew kits!
We also brought you the iPad Mini files that same October. All in all, we power over 2600 products that fall in the iPhone category. Let's round out our Apple Fan Boy and Girl offerings and incorporate all these awesome new products.
Now you can start brainstorming the iPhone 6 and iWatch cases you want to design in our Apple and iGadgets thread in the forum. Hit the sketchbook or the sketchup and get creative! The bigger form factor gives you more design real estate than ever before. We will update this post and announce a contest as soon as Apple releases the Design Files.
On a fun historical and sentimental note, this Apple Fan Girl can't help but ask, 30 years after Steve Jobs announced the Macintosh (the anniversary is today) do you think Apple is still as innovative as they were under Steve?

If only the reality people wanted to watch was the real deal. Then maybe things could change in our country.
That foul-mouthed Snooki, those vapid "Housewives" -- different cities, same shallow attitudes -- and all the other goofs on reality TV. We can't get enough of them. But real lives with heartbreaking drama- We don't want to see that.
But boy, it would be great if people would make time for the reality of "Tony and Janina's American Wedding," which is having its world premiere Sunday at the Chicago Film Festival. They'd see that immigration is anything but a black-and-white issue -- and how much our system needs overhauling.
The documentary, by Oak Park filmmaker Ruth Leitman, tells the story of Tony and Janina Wasilewski, two Polish immigrants who met in Chicago and married. Like so many immigrants before them, they work hard to achieve the American Dream.
Every time I write about immigration, people self-righteously respond that people should get in line and do it the right way, as if that path to legal citizenship is the same clear one they or their ancestors followed in the past. It isn't.
Leitman said she hopes by telling Tony and Janina's story it will "open the conversation on what is wrong with our policies."
Many don't recognize that there are those who didn't start out here illegally. But with so many flukes in the system, even those who try to do everything right can find themselves snared in a nightmare, like Tony and Janina.
They come here legally in the 1980s -- he on a work visa, she seeking political asylum -- start a cleaning service, buy a house, have a son, Brian. Through family videos, we see a happy life.
It all starts unraveling when a notice arrives saying Janina is being deported. Her status had changed, which they hadn't realized. She must leave and, despite their life here, cannot ask to return for 10 years. Wanting to do everything legally, Janina decides to go back to Poland with Brian while Tony stays and fights for her return.
It's pretty hard not to get choked up watching Tony at the airport in the documentary, pretty much wild with grief, trying for one last hug and kiss for his wife and child. Or when you see Brian's little hand grasping daddy's shoulder, not wanting to let go.
And with that, an unbelievable odyssey begins. He struggles to make sense of the system, fills out forms, pays thousands in legal and government fees, struggles to maintain their home and business, while paying his family's expenses in Poland. As often as possible, he travels to see his family.
He seeks a hardship waiver for Janina -- he has suffered a heart attack and developed a liver problem, the business is falling apart, Brian is suffering psychologically -- but is denied twice. Makes you wonder what more needs to go wrong in their lives to get a waiver.
As the film ends -- all the while with our national debate over immigration in the background -- three years have passed, and Tony is filing yet another waiver request.
The Wasilewski family remains in limbo, like so many other immigrant families.
I wanted to go out and meet Tony before I wrote this. Couldn't.
He was in Poland visiting Janina and Brian.
See the documentary at 7:15 p.m. Sunday and at 2:15 p.m. Oct. 17 at AMC River East, 322 E. Illinois.
