On the theory that '150' might be an phantom for DOD access or MRV, I disconnected the IP cable from a unit, then rebooted the unit with no internet connectivity. The '150' still remained.
Maybe it is a network that is forthcoming - the Receivers are being prepared to have it fired up. We'll see.

However, that boy is six foot seven and on the basketball team, and that teacher is a college level tutor.
CNN recently did a report about college athletes not being able to meet the reading requirements of their universities because many students in basketball and football programs could read only up to an eighth grade level.
Through investigative research and the use of public records, CNN was able to show that many student athletes do not meet the academic requirements that other non-athletic students were able to meet.
According to CNN, Mary Willingham, a former learning specialist at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, athletes would walk in looking for help with classwork and she discovered some couldn't read or write.
CNN did an investigation and found public universities across the country where many students in the basketball and football programs could read only to an eighth grade level.
In regards to college athletes and academics, DSU Assistant Athletic Director for External Affairs Matt Jones said, "We follow school policy and NCAA regulations regarding academic progress for our student-athletes. Our student-athletes are students first and face the same requirements. We do hold them to a high standard and expect their best."
DSU Athletic Director Ronnie Mayers said in a cabinet meeting on Monday, "Our athlete graduation rate is 60 percent. Graduating our student-athletes is what we're all about."
DSU Men's Basketball Head Coach Jim Boone said he is proud of his players and DSU standards are even higher than the NCAA standards.
"Each of our men's basketball student-athletes are monitored in each of his classes on a weekly to every other week basis; to insure attendance, class participation, progression, and general well-being. We want to be proactive, and hopefully address issues that could lead to poor outcomes before such happens.
"Our student-athletes are held to a higher standard for participation in their sport than other students at DSU," said Boone.
CNN showed in its investigation that the NCAA admits that almost 30 athletes in sports that make revenue for schools were accepted in 2012 with very low scores — below 700 on the SAT composite, where the national average is 1000.
Boone said DSU student-athletes must go through an "intensive eligibility checklist that is monitored by our Athletics Compliance Officer and the DSU Registrar each semester, and then must be reviewed and signed off on by our Athletics Director and the student-athletes coach."
For DSU tennis player Guillaume Lacour, academics are what got him to Delta State, and in order to continue playing tennis, academics are what will keep him there.
"I guess you cannot really compare my situation to American college athletes in the way that in Europe college sports do not exist so when we try to get into a university or business school, engineering school etc., everything is based on our academic level which also means our ability to read and write properly," said Lacour.
"Actually the tennis coach is the only coach at Delta State who is not making sure that the athletes do what they have to do. It means that he does not ask us to go to the academic lab or to the library like some other coaches do," he added, explaining the coach knows the team keeps their GPAs up.
Lacour also said that the team members rely on each other for help, support, and a little friendly competition off the court.
"We try to help each other in the academic discipline we are good at. For example, I help a lot my teammates with business and math classes while some others help me with my English. I also think the fact that our first language is not English in most cases make us study even more than three-fourths of the other students. We need a little bit more time to do our homework properly.
"Also as a small team we like to tease each other when one among us does not have a good GPA so it is a challenge for everyone not to have the lowest GPA of the team," said Lacour.
While the NCAA does a great deal to ensure athletes are making the proper grades and Boone said, "While problems do exist, the current system in place is more extensive and demanding upon the student-athlete than at anytime during my head coach tenure of 28 years, and is upgraded yearly. The NCAA and our athletics administrators truly have our student-athletes best academics at heart and it shows statistically."
Both Boone and Lacour show athletes and coaches must work together to ensure top performance on and off the field, so where does this start?
CNN's investigation raises the questions why or how these student-athletes have made it as far as a four-year university without being able to read past an elementary grade level.
When a student in their early twenties arrive at college they are expected to have passed certain entrance and admission exams, which high schools are supposed to prepare them for.
What exactly are the schools in Bolivar County doing to ensure that students are able to hold their own in a college classroom?
According to Cleveland School District Superintendent Jackie Thigpen, "As in most states, the High School Activities Association has standards that districts must abide by. For us, the MS High School Activities Association governs eligibility for play. The 2013-14 Handbook states that students participating in MHSAA sanctioned activities must make satisfactory progress towards graduation."
Thigpen explained the school monitors progress through graduation requirements and it also states that a student must maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average or a C average in order to participate.
"This average is calculated at the end of each semester to determine eligibility for the next semester. This grade point average not only applies to sports but to all extra-curricular activities," said Thigpen.
Thigpen explained the coaches are also hands-on with their students to ensure they do not fall behind.
"Our coaches and athletic directors also monitor this to assure students are making progress. Both high schools offer interventions and tutoring for students who are in need of extra help," Thigpen added.

The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency.

[OS] SLOVENIA - Surprise victors in Slovenia poll

(UKPA) - 1 hour ago
A centre-left party led by a prominent businessman and mayor has nabbed a
surprise victory in Slovenian parliamentary elections, reflecting mounting
concern among voters over the economy in the small EU country.
Positive Slovenia, the party led by the former head of the country's
largest retailer and mayor of the capital, Ljubljana, took 28.5% of the
vote, according to nearly complete results. The favoured conservatives
were trailing with 26.3%.
The leader of the Slovene Democratic Party, former prime minister Janez
Jansa, conceded defeat and congratulated Zoran Jankovic for his party's
Positive Slovenia did not win enough votes outright to form a government
on its own, setting up a scramble for coalition partners.
In winning Slovenia's first snap election since becoming independent from
the former Yugoslavia in 1991, Positive Slovenia will have to tackle the
country's mounting debt, unemployment and a looming recession.
Mr Jankovic has promised swift reform, including austerity measures: "The
results show that Slovenia will go in the right direction. It is obvious
that the citizens want an efficient state."
Serbia-born Mr Jankovic won prominence in Slovenia first as the head of
the country's biggest retailer, Merkator, running the company successfully
for eight years, before he was removed from the post in 2005 by Mr Jansa
over disagreements that Mr Jankovic claimed were politically motivated.
The 58-year-old economist has served as the mayor of Ljubljana since 2006.
The snap vote was called after the centre-left government of premier Borut
Pahor was toppled over economic troubles and allegations of corruption.
The state electoral commission said the turnout was around 65%.
Mr Pahor has said that he has done his best as premier to battle the
global economic downturn and the European debt crisis. Mr Pahor's Social
Democrats were third with 10.5% of the vote, results showed. Mr Pahor said
this was more than he had expected. He offered to meet Mr Jankovic to
discuss possible future cooperation.

You've probably been hearing that the Rangers don't-have-enough-money-think-they're-good-without-CJ-just-aren't-interested. But the truth is something quite different and, in fact, quite peculiar. It has to do with an iPhone app and a long-forgotten interview clip with Wilson himself. What is it? Read on.
(And yes), it took a whole bunch of super sleuthing on my part to find it out. I'm channeling my inner James Bond rather well these days, huh?)
Do you remember way back when the media couldn't get enough of the Rangers playing Words With Friends in the clubhouse? And they interviewed CJ over and over (and over) about his genius intelligence and absolute brilliance at the game? Yeah. And in one of those interviews that I remember distinctly but can't really (at all) find. [Update: thanks to the wonderful @cat4d1 on Twitter, we have the clip! You can watch it here.] CJ says: "He [Jon Daniels] was really frustrated that I beat him the first time, so… we'll see. Hopefully it doesn't, you know, complicate the contract negotiations next year." We all laughed. It was funny. It was a joke. Or so we thought.
But then he became a free agent and there were the Rangers and JD; distinctly, well, chilly about him.
At which point I leapt to my feet and stuttered excitedly, "It was the… it was the… the… game! Words With Friends!" And while everyone around me was completely puzzled, I was and still am confident that I have hit the jackpot.
I can't decide if I suspect it was CJ or Daniels who made the mega-move, but someone here is a sore loser and I am inclined to suspect CJ. Either way, this just goes to show that GMs and players should keep their distance or else be prepared for the consequences.
Or, at least, play Hanging With Friends by the same creators because it is seriously a lot more fun.
This is, of course, the scoop you come to my blog for. You're welcome

Fighting fat requires finding the right carbohydrates
Ron Zalko has achieved considerable fame as Vancouver's most enduring fitness guru.
For more than a generation, lithe women and men, including famed environmentalist David Suzuki, have been making regular visits to his Kitsilano gym to stay in shape and avoid the onset of health problems.
But as passionate as Zalko is about exercise, he's equally focused on diet.
"It's amazing how people don't understand food concepts: what's good and what's bad," he tells the Georgia Straight over the phone. "If we start to educate them in this manner, we'll see a better, healthier society."
It's a view shared by several health and fitness experts contacted by the Straight over the holidays.
In particular, they're alarmed about the public's lack of awareness of how the wrong carbohydrates—which are converted into glucose in the bloodstream—can contribute to weight gain and undermine health.
Zalko requires his personal clients to record everything they eat in a diary over five or six days.
Sometimes, he even goes shopping with them for groceries. The client goes down the aisles first, filling up the cart. Then Zalko comes along and empties the buggy of whatever he considers to be junk.
"This is kind of fun," he says. "Lots of people change their eating habits."
He calls another of his weight-loss tactics an "evacuation". This involves visiting the client's home and disposing of all unhealthy foods on the premises.
"I go to the fridge and the ice cream is gone, the cheese is gone, and the ketchup is gone," Zalko says with a laugh. "And anything that's got sugar is gone."
He acknowledges that cheese is a good source of calcium. However, he maintains that if a person gobbles it every day, it can affect the arteries and lead to heart disease.
Zalko also characterizes energy drinks and wheat products as "killers".
Zalko's wife, Kathleen, who is also into fitness, isn't quite so hard-nosed about diet.
"I do indulge in chocolate every now and then," she confesses over the phone. "He's much more strict than I am."
Both Zalkos are fans of a best-selling book by cardiologist William Davis called Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health. It links the consumption of wheat—and particularly genetically modified grains—to numerous health conditions, including acid reflux, depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, and excess belly fat.
"What I do for carbs is eat vegetables," Zalko says. "I'm talking about broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, and kale. All the superfoods."
Zalko isn't the only Vancouver fitness expert with grave concerns about genetically modified food.
Fitness model and personal trainer Hanan Arabatlian tells the Straight over the phone that she goes out of her way to avoid genetically modified foods. Part of her motivation is protecting the health of her eight-year-old daughter.
"I've emailed companies when I'm not really sure," she says. "If they don't reply, then you know something is going on."
Arabatlian, 30, took first prize in the bikini competition in the 2011 International Federation of BodyBuilders provincial championship.
She attributes this success, in part, to her laserlike focus on diet. It enabled her to come out ahead of women who were almost a decade younger than her.
"Everyone in the industry will tell you the same thing," she says. "You can train five hours a day if you want. [But] if you're not eating the right things, you're wasting your time."
Arabatlian often notices that her new clients aren't eating enough meals, which puts their body into starvation mode. She says that at these times, they're more likely to consume junk food.
"I say, 'Make sure you're having three solid meals,' " she advises. "You want to be eating every two to three hours—small meals, clean meals, nothing processed."
Arabatlian eats five to six meals a day, including protein shakes, which she prepares at home.
Like Zalko, she also focuses a great deal of attention on grocery shopping. When she returns home from the store, she will usually prepare at least two different protein sources in advance. She also steams her vegetables.
She prefers eating carbohydrates—in a dish of oatmeal—in the morning. That's when she feels the body's tolerance for glucose is highest. She also consumes carbohydrates following workouts, sometimes by adding a banana to a protein shake.
"It helps the uptake of the protein to the muscles right when your muscles are hungry for it," she says.
Arabatlian, one of only three Canadian athletes contracted to represent bodybuilding.com, adds that she doesn't impose too many changes too quickly on her clients.
One week might be devoted to food preparation, the next week to exercise. In another week, she might emphasize the importance of proper sleep.
Toronto naturopath and author Natasha Turner highlights the importance of sleep in her recent book, The Carb Sensitivity Program.
"A 2004 study at the University of Chicago was the first to show sleep as a major regulator of appetite-controlling hormones and also to link the extent of hormone variations with the degree of hunger change," she writes. "More specifically, researchers found appetite-enhancing ghrelin increased by 28 percent, while appetite-curbing leptin decreased by 18 percent, among subjects who were sleep deprived.…The desire for high-calorie, high-sugar foods also jumped with insufficient slumber."
Reached by phone at her clinic, Turner tells the Straight that there's an obesity and diabetes epidemic in North America, which is traceable to people's inability to properly metabolize carbohydrates.
"It's actually not a low-carb book," she declares. "I want you to eat carbs. I just want you to eat the right ones for you."
Her research focused heavily on insulin, a hormone released from the pancreas in proportion to the amount of glucose in the bloodstream.
In her clinic, she noticed that an imbalance of insulin was common among her patients who couldn't lose weight even on a healthy diet. At the root of the problem is insulin resistance: the pancreas keeps producing the hormone but the body is unable to make proper use of all of it.
"I realized it's linked to every single chronic disease associated with aging," Turner says. "It [insulin] destroys every tissue in your body: your bones, your muscle, your brain, your liver. It's so harmful when it's elevated, yet at the same time, if you don't have it you'll die."
Her book offers a variety of ways to address this condition, including getting proper sleep and trying various diets.
She outlines the difference between high-glycemic-index foods—such as chips, white pasta, pastries, cookies, and candies—and high-glycemic-load foods, such as carrots.
The high "GI" foods lead to a rapid influx of sugar into the bloodstream, causing a strong insulin response. The high "GL" foods might deliver more glucose over time but not nearly as quickly.
"I want people to understand that your ability to metabolize carbohydrates is as unique as food allergies," Turner states.
Dai Manuel, chief operating officer of Fitness Town Inc., is living proof that it takes time to learn about nutrition.
He admits that when he was 14, he was morbidly obese: standing 5-6 and weighing almost 200 pounds, with a 38-inch waistline.
"My parents were great role models from a professional standpoint, but when it came from a health perspective, they weren't the people that could help me," Manuel says cheerfully over the phone. "I had to seek outside sources. You know what? They did a fantastic job raising me. I love my parents."
Now that he competes as a CrossFit athlete, Manuel advises his clients to develop a "healthy relationship with food" to reach their fitness goals.
"It's understanding how the food makes you feel and makes you act," he says. "We're in front of our computers so much these days that it's easy to grab foods that are quick and accessible, fast food."
Manuel advises clients to get carbohydrates from natural food sources, such as fruits and vegetables. For a little more starch, he recommends sweet potatoes or yams in lieu of potatoes because they're higher in nutrients.
"I'm trying to avoid gluten," he comments. "I try to avoid a lot of excess sodium and a lot of preservatives that you find in certain foods. When you buy things in packages, you've just got to read the label."
As for "Wheat Belly". It's a hyperbolic fear-mongering ploy with some brief stints of fact. If you don't tolerate wheat - don't eat it. But to insist that wheat on it's own puts fat on your belly is laughably false.
Fat loss is simple but not easy. Keep in a chronic caloric deficit with adequate protein. Lift heavy, move often and get enough sleep. Creating the right mindset to pull the trigger is crucial.

The whole city is proud of this rigorous lifeguarding program, which teaches our youth beach safety, ocean and wave education, area familiarity, first aid and CPR, water rescue techniques, and fitness. Despite the physical and mental demands of the program, each summer session is in hot demand and fills up within hours of its posting. Every session culminates in an (optional) jump off of the Ocean Beach Pier, which always makes local news. Way to go, Kids, we are so proud of you!


text: I'm on Frank's side, but he's got one thing a little bit wrong. Norovirus is not really an airborne illness. While one can technically contract the disease by having the "spray" from an infected patient land in one's mouth, it's usually transmitted by hand. Fecal-oral. An infected person fails to properly wash his/her hands, touches an object that is then touched by another. Here's the problem. An infected person can shed the virus for up to two weeks and no employee at a restaurant is going to stay home for two weeks. And even someone who tries to wash properly can make the mistake of touching a faucet handle after using the restroom and touching the (now infected) handle again after washing. Plus, it takes very little virus to pass it along and the bug is not easily killed. Bleach will do it. Purell and Clorox wipes won't. So you see, it's an incredibly difficult germ to control. That's why proper use of gloves is essential in preventing infection. Again, I'm on Frank's side. I say let him have his secret meat lockers. But unless you know HOW norovirus is spread, you can't really know how to prevent its spread. Have a nice day.

One month into all-electronic tolls on the Golden Gate Bridge, speed and illegal use of the carpool lanes remain problems, California Highway Patrol and span officials said Friday.
Those who zip through the toll plaza faster than the posted 25 mph posted speed limit or pass through the carpool lane with fewer than three people should expect to see flashing lights in their rear-view mirror.
"People need to slow down through there," said Marin CHP officer Andrew Barclay, before the Golden Gate Bridge board met to get an update on the new system. "We are getting speeds in the 60s. The toll lanes are narrow. If you go through at 60 mph, it just takes a little nudge of the wheel to the left or right before you hit something."
Bridge officials and the CHP also continue to see scofflaws passing through the carpool lane without the required three passengers.
"Nothing has changed, it's always been three people," said Mary Currie, bridge district spokeswoman. "There may be some people who are not paying attention, but there are also drivers who are trying to take advantage of the discounted toll."
Bridge officials have designated Lane No. 2 — the second from the right — for carpools from 5 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. weekdays. That lane gives a $3 toll to anyone passing through.
While camera technology is able to read license plates and assess tolls, it cannot count bodies, and some drivers are pocketing up to $3. The regular toll is $5 for FasTrak and $6 for Pay-by-Plate users.
The CHP is now looking at ways to more closely monitor speed and carpool violaters from areas near the toll plaza, which does not have an abundance of space.
"The CHP in Marin has a lot of resources that we can utilize," Barclay said. "We have cars, we have bicycles on the Golden Gate Bridge and we have motorcycles. Motorcycles can get into areas that might be otherwise difficult to maneuver in."
Despite the issues, bridge officials report overall the switch to all-electronic tolls has gone well.
The number of people using FasTrak during the work week has jumped from 72 percent from a year ago to 83.3 percent today. On weekends it has increased from 59 percent to 74.1 percent and the new system has alleviated the Saturday and Sunday backups commonly seen at the toll plaza, officials said.
"It has gone extraordinarily well and the customers have made the transition," said Denis Mulligan, general manager of the bridge.
Toll-takers had been part of bridge operations since the span opened in 1937, but financial pressures and technology conspired to eliminate the positions.
Eliminating the toll-takers will save roughly $16 million over eight years in salaries and benefits. The move, among other steps, will help bail the district out of a $66 million budget shortfall over the next five years.

This fellow votes yellow!
Congratulations! MOTUC 2015!
Movie for me, and I have no nostalgic attachments to the movie. I probably saw what she looked like as late as last year. I found out about the movie in the year 2000, I... I was actually very excited about it, but I couldn't find much about it online; I saw a concept of what He-man looked like and didn't like it, but still found it fascinating, He-man in live action?, cool!. Maybe it's the few pictures of Skeletor, He-man wasn't as bad as the concept art.
When it comes to She-ra Princess of Power characters, FILMATION is the way to go!.
The movie look is fantastic, but for my favorite I went with the MYP look. They really made Evil-Lyn stand out.
Looking for movie reviews, geek news, and other such nonsense? Check out my site: http://www.thepicreview.com/
"We have a Ram-Man"
Vintage look for me.
Definitely MYP as she actually looks like she can cast a nasty spell on you. The Battleground Evil-Lyn appears to be the closest we can get as a combinatiion of Filmation and MYP.
MYP Evil-Lyn has my vote. She has her OWN distinct look and isn't a Teela recolor. As a major character, that was an upgrade that she definitely needed.
The Blonde Teela (Battleground and Alcala Teela) Thread
MegaGearMax's 200X/MYP Screen Grabs
Sagitar 200X Prince Adam 200X Sorceress Evilseed (MYP)
Two words: Magestra disguise.
I chose MYP because, to me, she looked more Evil wile also maintaining the sexy-ness that was missing from previous incarnations. She should be the Baroness of MOTU and MYP made her closer to that. Also, her new scheme and color really added to the Faceless One's look. Them having similar yet different looks really added to the character of Evil-Lyn and made their back story more believable and also a lot deeper.
A journey that began long ago in a place neither near nor far
A story of heroes, passed down through the ages
Until now.
This is our story. These are our heroes
Vintage toy, no doubt
MYP Evil-Lyn for sure!
"Evilseed with his MYP redesign dominated the poll pulling ahead with a massive lead."
I have to go with the 200X version for sure. Definitely my fav version.
MYP all the way for me. That cartoon got almost everything right about MOTU, from designs to stories. It was truly a labor of love and it showed. That being said, I've been torn between the MYP/200x look(come on, they're not *that* different) and the Filmation look. Never cared for the yellow skinned version, even though I have the figure. BGEL was so close, yet so far away! That super pale skin was just plain old ugly.
MYP, she flat out rocks in that series. She can really wreck the house. Her capabilities are on full display and the updated animation makes her look amazing. MYP is Evil-Lyn fully realized.

Brand Partners
We are proud to set standards not only in our technological advancement, but also in our marketing and brand-building activities. Through several prestigious partnerships, most notably the FIFA World Cup™, we are leading the effort to bring renewable energy to a globally-recognized stage.
In 2010, we realized that we were on the brink of a tipping point for the solar industry. Brand differentiation and recognition were becoming more important than ever before. Besides simply looking for a major marketing platform, we searched for a stage that would also allow us to act upon one of our most important corporate missives: social responsibility. With this in mind, we turned to the most beloved sport with the largest fan base in the world – football.
Our history with football began even before our sponsorship of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa. Our ties with the sport extend back to 2009, when we formed and sponsored a deaf and mute football team in Hebei, a rural province in China. With this partnership, we realized we could use football to positively impact disadvantaged societies and bring awareness to environmental causes. Today, we continue to embark on opportunities that help build our brand while also improving communities around the world.
We invite you to join us as we combine our love for football and our love for the environment to create a more sustainable future.
We are combining our love for football and our love for the environment to create a more sustainable future.

I think you are both right. Miniscule as a description of the kind of LETTERS used is the opposite of majuscule. Manuscripts written in miniscules are called miniscules. But manuscripts written in majuscule letters are called Uncial manuscripts, which term has fed back to refer to the letters themselves. So the opposite of an uncial manuscript (such as the biblical Codex Sinaiticus or codex Alexandrinus) is a miniscule manuscript (such as 1739 or p46).

Posts: 1 If your sentence is like this and you are not specifying any specific country or place leave the words in small letters. I feel it will be better. If the sentence is about the party of any country like in the book its okay, capitalizing is good, otherwise they are normal words let it be as normal.

Dissecting Robin Kelly's rout: Savvy staff, battle testing, early decisions — and $2.2 million in TV ads
BY NATASHA KORECKI Political Reporter Twitter: @natashakorecki February 27, 2013 9:14AM

Updated: April 1, 2013 7:34AM
In a crowded field of 15 candidates and little turnaround time to grow a following, the winner of Tuesday's special congressional Democratic primary was predicted to barely eke out a victory, getting 20 percent, maybe 25 percent of the vote.
It was Robin Kelly who pulled out the win. But she didn't do it that way.
Instead, the Matteson resident cleaned up, getting more than 50 percent of the vote in the 2nd Congressional District, positioning herself as the likely successor to the disgraced Jesse Jackson Jr.
How did she do it?
Yes, Kelly had the benefit of a $2.2 million TV ad investment from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Independence USA Super Pac that attacked her top opponent.
But strategists said Bloomberg, who eventually endorsed Kelly and directed money to support Kelly, was only confident of that investment because Kelly had assembled a top-notch, professional organization.
"It was a really good combination of people. Some of the people I knew from other races," Kelly said on Wednesday.
One of those races was that of Barack Obama when he ran for U.S. Senate. It was then that Kelly met Cheryl Whitaker, who, along with her husband, Eric Whitaker, are close friends with the Obamas.
In her acceptance speech on Tuesday, Kelly called Cheryl Whitaker her "angel." Kelly explained Wednesday Whitaker helped her with "wisdom" and her relationships ("I'm not talking the one in D.C.," she says.)
"She's a thoughtful person, and I feel she brought calm to the campaign," Kelly said.
What helped establish Kelly as the candidate to back, according to strategists, was a calculated financial investment early on to help position Kelly as the anti-violence champion.
"We kind of gambled early and made an early investment in a campaign communication in the mail. We laid that foundation of Robin Kelly and what she was and what she was fighting for in gun control," said Mark Bergman, of the Democratic mail firm Mission Control.
It was a gamble, Bergman said: "Because if you spend all your money early, you may not have money at the close."
That early mailer targeted repeat primary Democratic voters who were almost certain to come out to vote during the primary.
"We knew this turnout was going to be low. So we were trying to communicate early and make the argument to the people who we knew were coming to vote — come blizzard or not," Bergman said.
With the pool of Democrats agreeing on major issues, the campaign keyed in on what separated Kelly from her two main opponents.
Kelly had a lifetime "F" grade from the NRA. Her top two opponents, Toi Hutchinson and Debbie Halvorson each had A grades. That drew the attention of the popular blog the Daily Kos. Its followers helped build publicity — but even more vital, the followers started donating cash. Ultimately, the Daily Kos community gave her more than $100,000, she said.
All the while, she was able to keep her opponents on their heels.
"As it relates to her opponents, she defined them before they defined her. I don't think there was one cycle where she was reacting to something someone else said. They were reacting to her," said John V. Moore, a consultant who handled some of Kelly's early media relations. "The first press release about guns was pre-Sandy Hook. And so she defined the issue and she defined her two chief opponents on the issue. How many times do you think throughout the campaign were Toi and Debbie driving the discussion?"
Moore added that Kelly was "extremely disciplined" in building friendships and raising money.
Moore said people forget that Kelly mounted a successful primary run for state treasurer in 2010. She ultimately lost in the general election.
"She raised $1 million in 2010. That put her on a different level," in this race, Moore said.
Momentum built on itself, with candidate Napoleon Harris dropping out and giving Kelly his endorsement. Bloomberg began targeting Hutchinson as well as Halvorson. Members of Congress started backing Kelly.
With nine days left, Hutchinson dropped out of the race, freeing up what could have been a divided African American south suburban vote.
As for Ald. Anthony Beale (9th), he came too late to the party when it came to focusing his message on guns, Bergman argued.
If Beale had made that early investment, he may have been within Bloomberg's sights.
"He didn't, and that's the difference," Bergman said. "Robin's campaign made that early investment to define her to be the gun control candidate."
On election night, Beale accused Bloomberg of buying the election. Earlier, he questioned why the New York billionaire backed Kelly when Beale was the only sitting elected official in the race and he held similar gun control views.
"I spoke about it from my first announcement, I spoke about a diversity of issues and the alderman spoke about jobs, jobs, jobs," Kelly said on Wednesday. Kelly said she believes her taking a pledge not to take gun lobby money and asking her opponents to do the same, also helped her dictate the terms of the race. She then pestered Hutchinson and Halvorson in news releases to make public their NRA questionnaires they had filled out years earlier.
"I did pass legislation when I was a state rep.," Kelly said. "I was dealing with straw purchases of guns."
After the Sandy Hook school massacre in which a gunman tragically took the lives of young children and school personnel, the issue of gun violence became the national — and local — focus. President Barack Obama began pushing gun control initiatives as murder numbers in Chicago continued to soar in January.
From January to February, Kelly went from trailing Halvorson — who had once served in Congress and held name recognition from a previous run against Jackson — to leading by nearly five points, according to an internal poll. Most significantly, Kelly's numbers were surging; she jumped 11 points, while Halvorson was dropping.
"We just saw our numbers make a massive movement. That really showed that the early investment spawned that later surge," Bergman said. "There was some television investment included there, but not pro-Robin investment."
The final push came on election day, more than 300 people scattered through the congressional district for Kelly. They made one, two and even three passes at their targeted voters, said campaign manager Jonathan Blair. Blair said the campaign used metrics to determine who to target and where in the vastly diverse district that stretches from the South Side to Kankakee and Will County. The snow wasn't an obstacle in their minds — they drove anyone who needed a lift.
Kelly's work isn't finished, however. In April, she must win the general election. Unofficial vote totals show the GOP candidate she's likely to face is Paul McKinley, a Republican with a felony background.
The 54-year-old married father of two, who lists a Bronzeville home address, describes himself as an "ex-offender," but he's been arrested at least 13 times in Cook County since 2003, according to Cook County court records. He served prison time from 1985 to 1997 for armed robbery and aggravated battery, plus an additional probationary term, according to Illinois prison officials.
In one online video, McKinley diagrams the flow of money, jobs and contracts through what he calls the Illinois political machine.
"This is you right there — John Q Sucker," he says. "That's you right there. You didn't get anything. You didn't get a job. Even when you put in for the contract, you didn't get the contract. When you put in for a grant, you didn't get the grant."
On Wednesday, Kelly was still celebrating her own, much more decisive, win.
"I ran for office a number of times before. Other people were neophytes … A certain part of it was my old legislative district, I did very well in the area where I worked before," Kelly said. She noted one other thing, with a laugh:
"I did work hard."

Hands-on tips for PHP security
I got asked to review a fairly large piece of PHP code recently and, whoooo boy, was I in for a treat (treat as in clawing my eyes out with a rusty spoon while listening to Nickelback, as interpreted by Dr Zoidberg. In reverse). This magnificent piece of code was an eye opener in many ways and it made me feel a little bit better about myself, to be honest. It employed not only what would be called "bad practice", but also a lot of plain ol' stupidity. I know... Read More
