Record profits and record unemployment: Nothing's trickling down
(Read article summary)Profits have soared for seven consecutive quarters, but sky-high unemployment has remained essentially unchanged for the past year.
Robert Harbison / The Christian Science Monitor / File
America's two economies are getting wider apart.
The Big Money economy is booming. According to a new Commerce Department report, third-quarter profits of American businesses rose at an annual record-breaking $1.659 trillion – besting even the boom year of 2006 (in nominal dollars). Profits have soared for seven consecutive quarters now, matching or beating their fastest pace in history.
Executive pay is linked to profits, so top pay is soaring as well.
Higher profits are also translating into the nice gains in the stock market, which is a boon to everyone with lots of financial assets.
And Wall Street is back. Bonuses on the Street are expected to rise about 5 percent this year, according to a survey by compensation consultants Johnson Associates Inc.
But nothing is trickling down to the Average Worker economy. Job growth is still anemic. At October's rate of only 50,000 new private-sector jobs, unemployment won't get down to pre-recession levels for twenty years. And almost half of October's new jobs were in temporary help.
Meanwhile, the median wage is barely rising, adjusted for inflation. And the value of the major asset of most Americans – their homes – continues to drop.
Why are America's two economies going in opposite directions? Two reasons.
First, big profits are coming from overseas sales of goods and services made abroad, not here. The world's fastest-growing markets are China and India, whose inhabitants are eager to buy "American" products, and just as eager to work for the American companies that sell them. The U.S. market is barely moving.
Increasingly, American corporations are able to extract healthy gains from their global operations without adding much in the United States except executive talent.

Wow, beautiful tree and fruits, especially for California! Like everyone else, I'm very interested in how they taste. What is that yellow fruit next to the mango in the last picture? Simon |
Bushy and loaded with fruit. I'm loving the look of that tree. |
- Posted by jfernandez 10B (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Nov 10, 11 at 21:40
Hello guys, This pic was taken on 09/17/11 in Santa Ana California.This little tree is 5 years old 9X8 loaded with fruits many had dropped. It had some fiber, sweet , very juice but a bit too turpentinish for me. I tasted 5 fruits ranging from 6-12 oz and they were close in taste... maybe too ripe. I'll try earlier next year. JF |
so THIS is what my Timotayo is going to become? The way my dud is growing, I think not, jf. Tim Thompson said this was supposed to be a fiberless mango from what I remember. I mean the production is great, but the turpentiny taste sounds yickky!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, my non-growing tree has one more year to shake off whatever it's issues are before it gets the CHOP!!!!!!! Thanks for posting, jf.... mangodoggy |
- Posted by jfernandez 10B (email@example.com) on Thu, Nov 10, 11 at 22:27
it's far from being fiberless Gary, I think I might have gone a few weeks too late. I was monitoring the tree all summer and I went on vacation and forgot about it. I have also seen a fruiting Timotayo in Upland Nursery in Orange, about the same time, and the fruits are identical. Patience grasshopper, let the tree establish it's roots. |
Boy those trees are something to envy. I'm getting mango fever in this cold weather :( |
- Posted by MangoMan_Tim none (My Page) on Tue, Dec 18, 12 at 18:31
Hello all, I am the originator of the Timotayo variety and I wanted to give a little more detail on this variety. I have over 100 mango varieties in my collection. Most are from all over the world and were rated as some of the best for their country of origin. These are my breeding stock for my development project of new California mangoes. The Timotayo is the first mango that I released to the public due to its outstanding eating quality and hardiness in the Southern California climate. My original tree in now about fifteen years old and about the same height. It produces heavily. With adequate watering, the fruit are very uniform in size and average a little over a pound each. They are richly colored and pretty much fiber free. The fruit has a sweet, mild taste. I have sampled hundreds of different mangoes in my travels and I cannot detect any turpentine taste with this one. I have to assume the person who mentioned that must have a very sensitive pallet. I have also conducted many mango sampling events with my collection and the Timotayo has consistently scored very high by those tasting it against some of the world's best mangoes. One interesting point I will mention from my mango sampling tests is that often a husband will rate one mango as the best while his wife rates that one lower than another. I have learned that taste is very subjective. With my mango breeding program, when I am deciding whether to cull a mango from my breeding program I use sampling by at least ten different people to decide. To pass, they must rate the new mango in the same quality range as Haden, Keitt, Kent, or Glenn. I will be releasing about a dozen new mango varieties which are in the patent process next year. |
Hi Tim - it's Gary from Palm Springs. We communicated about a year or so ago about the Timotayo I purchased back in 2010. It really hasn't grown much and I was wondering if it had been tested for growing in desert conditions. Of course it could be I just didn't do a good enough job of raising it, though my other dozen mango trees seem to be growing just fine. I potted it up this spring to perhaps locate it in another part of the garden where conditions might be more favorable....or.....I may just donate it to one of my grower friends who live closer to the coast, where you're experiments have taken place. Any advice would be great! And good luck on the new varieties forthcoming - do you know which nurseries or home centers will be selling them....and when???? Gracias - Gary of Palm Springs |

Woman Pays For Entire Restaurant's Meals
You remember at Christmas when anonymous folks were paying off Kmart layaways? Well, perhaps its beginning to happen again! But this time, it's food. An anonymous customer at a Denny's restaurant decided to voluntarily pay for the meals of all her fellow diners.
This was at the Denny's in Sacramento, California.
Described as a young woman told Carol Kronberger, a waitress, that she was picking up the bill for all the diners at Denny's.
"It just put a smile on everyone's faces because we got to go to each individual table and tell them that some young lady just paid for all their meals."
The total bill was about $200 and the Denny's staff agreed to keep the customer's identity a secret, only noting that she was a young woman.
The manager said the unexpected free meal was a deserved treat for his customers, most of whom are regulars. And he hopes they'll share some of that spontaneous goodwill.
"I'm hoping they'll all pass it on to people that need help too," Klepac said.
I think this would be cool if it went viral like the layaways....

Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt, it's just I'm constantly on the cusp
Of trying to kiss you
from Arctic Monkeys – Do I Wanna Know Lyrics on Genius
Rather than hearing out what she's trying to say, he interrupts her with an attempted kiss — seemingly as a last resort of resparking her interest in the relationship.
Also note the play on the directional words in this line: "simmer down and pucker up.
And no, he's not asking her to pucker up her lips for a duck face pose

angry reader of the week: raymond j. lee
Once again, it's time for another Angry Reader of the Week, spotlighting you, the very special readers of this website. Over the years, I've been able to connect with a lot of cool folks, and this is a way of showing some appreciation and attention to the people who help make this blog what it is. Our very first Angry Reader of 2010 is actor/singer Raymond Lee.
Who are you?
My name is Raymond J. Lee and I am an actor/singer residing in New York City...and also the proud father of two cats (Misty & Patches).
What are you?
Well, technically I'm a human being, but I'm also a proud Korean-American! My parents immigrated here from Seoul in the 70's to live the American dream and ended up falling madly in love and having two sons. I am also an army brat extraordinaire, having gone to 6 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 1 high school, 1 college, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Where are you?
I am actually answering this question backstage at the Winter Garden theater but I currently reside in Woodside, Queens which is a wonderful area right next to Astoria. It's only 20 minutes from Times Square off the R train and the best thing is that there's a Han Ah Reum two bus stops away from my apartment!
Where are you from?
I was born in Atlanta, Georgia but ended up moving all over the country due to my dad's job. I also lived in Korea for three years and attended Seoul Foreign School from 4th-6th grade. Talk about a culture shock! I went to high school at Winston Churchill HS in Potomac, MD and later attended Northwestern University where I received my BA in radio/television/film with a minor in musical theater.
What do you do?
I currently star as "Eddie" in Broadway's Mamma Mia! I have been with the company for almost 3.5 years and find it to be one of the best jobs a guy could ever have. I basically get paid to go to summer camp and to be in a dance party full time. Although the 8 show a week schedule can be physically grueling, we have an amazing cast and crew that truly get along like family.
When I'm not busy dancing in speedos on stage, I also do a lot of readings, workshops, and on-camera work. I had the fortune to have a national IKEA commercial running (if you see one about an Asian mom getting jealous of her son's IKEA entertainment center...I play the son in the first second of the commercial) and will also be in the upcoming independent film The Mikado Project, directed by the amazingly talented Chil Kong, starring Tamlyn Tomita, Erin Quill, Allen Liu, Ryun Yu, David Lee McInnis, Rizwan Manji, and Yuri Tag (from Kaba Modern).
What are you all about?
I am all about living your dreams! We only have one chance at this specific life, in this specific body, and I think we should do everything in our power to go after our passions and live the life that we were meant to live!
I am all about more Asian-American representation in theater, television, and film. I will do my best to help create more Asian-American theater roles, and also hope to one day do more work in television and film as well.
I am also about hard work, humility, a positive attitude, supportive friends & family, amusement parks, and mint chocolate chip ice cream.
What makes you angry?
1) Ignorant, biased, racist people and the stupid remarks they make (true story: i came out of the stage door one day after a show, talked with a couple from Kansas for 10 minutes, and at the end they asked me when I had come to this country because my accent was "almost perfect")
2) People who think Asian men aren't sexy
3) People who hide behind religion
4) Prop 8 and the anti-gay marriage movement - c'mon people, it's 2010!
5) The lack of principal Asian-American roles in Contemporary American Musical Theater
6) The fact that Comfort Women & the Holocaust were permitted to happen in history
7) The fact that the MTA fares continue to go up - even though there was a supposed surplus a couple years ago
8) People walking in front of me who puff cigarette smoke in my face
9)) Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's - I only got past the opening credits because I was too uncomfortable. It's sad because I heard the movie's actually good

This week's interview advice comes from Janet Lilly with Maricopa Workforce Connection. How should one prepare for an interview? "Begin by studying the job description and noting your qualifications as compared to the company's requirements.
Outline the skills, strengths, personal traits and achievements that make you an asset for this position. Remember that the company is hiring a 'whole' individual rather than a skill set, and is looking at whether or not the person you portray is a good fit for the culture of the organization.
What are some mistakes to avoid?
"There are three that will be sure to do you in: Malign a former employer; Speak negatively about an issue; Discuss personal details of your life that are not relevant to the position. Additionally, don't ramble. Brevity in articulation is a must."
Describe a positive interview
"A male interviewed for a management position in corporate America. His attire was professional dress. His initial handshake, smile and opening words indicated positive energy and enthusiasm, which he maintained throughout the interview. With continued eye contact, his response to each question was confident, knowledgeable and thorough. His questions were well thought out and relevant to the job. At the conclusion of the interview he expressed a sincere desire to be part of the team, with gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to the company. It was apparent that he had done his pre-interview homework, and one week later, the job was his!"

I've been telling anyone who will listen lately (admittedly a small group) that the job of the future is Data Scientist – I even implored a recent conference in London to go out and hire these people. This EMC infographic does a nice job of explaining why the explosion in data, driven by social media, the Internet of Things etc. is driving this need. Interesting that today's business intelligence professionals aren't considered high on the list as future data scientists.

The quiet hamlet of Helidon lies in the picturesque Lockyer Valley, approximately one hour west of Brisbane and just 15 minutes east of Toowoomba. Sandstone from this area has been used in many of Queensland's beautiful historic buildings. Helidon is also the business hub for explosive manufacturing companies situated on the outskirts of town
... moreFor many years Helidon has been famous for its natural mineral springs prized for their great healing and therapeutic properties. The local Aborigines bathed in the spring water to ward off illness and after European settlement, the springs attracted the frail from far and wide. Arthritis, rheumatism, muscular aches, pains, stress, and a host of other ailments are said to be relieved by soaking in the warm, mineral-rich water.
Stay at a nearby health resort to get the most of your visit to the natural springs. You'll find quality motel-style accommodation, saunas, barbecue and gymnasium facilities and an on-site restaurant.
The grand old city of Toowoomba is just 15 minutes' drive up the range and offers a host of things to see and do. Not far from Helidon you'll also find wineries, historic homesteads, national parks and a host of scenic drives.
Accommodation in the Helidon area includes spring resorts, bed-and-breakfasts, hotels and motels.
... lessHow To Get There
From Brisbane, follow the Ipswich Motorway and follow Toowoomba signage, exiting onto the Warrego Highway.
Follow the signs until you reach Helidon.
Must See and Do
Take some time out to enjoy the relaxing heated mineral hydrotherapy pool, sauna and outdoor saltwater pool amongst the spacious and relaxing acreage at Helidon Natural Springs Spa Resort Motel.
Stay a while in the centre of the village of Helidon. The Old Bank Bed and Breakfast is a National Heritage listed building. Helidon has an RSL, hotel, general store, post office and is a good spot to head off on the Spring Bluff Scenic Drive.

Specializing in Vintage Styling and Color formulation |
Available Monday through Sunday in Sunnyvale or East San Jose I'd imagine it may be tough to find a salon or stylist who is available with your busy schedule and budget. That is why I work in two locations, beyond salon hours, and make house calls. It all started with working out of my small kitchen using an old blue chair. It was given to me from my Grandfather who has been in this business over 45 years. Everything continues to grow more everyday. Ideas and creativity are flowing! And the journey is just beginning!

.- Data from recent surveys indicate that liberals and people who are not regular churchgoers are more likely to believe the tales proposed in The Da Vinci Code about Jesus having children with Mary Magdalene, said Catholic League president William Donohue.
"There is an inverse correlation between religiosity and belief in the Da Vinci Code's thesis," explained Donohue in a press release. "The more likely one is to attend church, the less likely he or she is to believe the book's thesis."
According to Donohue, a Barna Group survey found that liberals were twice as likely as conservatives to have altered their religious beliefs after reading Dan Brown's book.
Donohue also cited statistics indicating that the British are twice as likely to believe Da Vinci's "moonshine" than Americans. Donohue attributed it to the fact that British Christians attend regular church services less often than Americans. The 2001 British census revealed that 72 percent consider themselves Christian, but only 8 percent regularly attend church services.
Donohue also quoted a USA/Gallup poll taken this month, which found that 72 percent of Americans said no movie had ever had a profound effect on their religious beliefs in any positive or negative way; 21 percent said they saw a movie that strengthened their beliefs; and four percent said they saw a film that caused them to question their religious beliefs.
As well, a Barna Group survey reported yesterday that 24 percent of those who read the book said it was helpful in relation to their 'personal growth or understanding.' Only five percent said they changed their beliefs because of The Da Vinci Code.

reviews & comments (206)
These were very easy to throw together and got raves from all my brunch guests. Even good the next day. Be careful that the coconut on top of the muffins doesn't burn. Watch the muffins carefully during the final minutes of cooking.
Quick, incredibly tasty! I did not have a problem with excess grease. Made 12 muffins in a standard-size tin. They freeze well and are a company pleaser.
The first time I made these I followed the recipe exactly. Although delicious, they were too greasy, even to the point of butter seeping through the liners and pooling in the bottom of the pans. The second time I made them, I doubled the recipe and substituted 1/2 cup applesauce for half of the butter. Same great flavor without all the grease. A definite keeper...quick, easy, and a great alternative to banana bread.
I only got 8 muffins out of this recipe unlike the previous reviewer. I thought these muffins were really good but thought the coconut flavor needed to be kicked up a bit. I substituted a 1/2 cup of coconut cream for the butter. You could probably use egg replacer to make these completely vegan, if needed. My only other suggestion is decreasing the amount of sugar. I put in only a 1/2 cup of sugar and the muffins were plenty sweet. (And I have a huge sweet tooth!) If your bananas are ripe enough, they will contribute a lot of sugar so you shouldn't need to add much.

Video Conferencing Solutions - Courts & Legislative
Legislative and judiciary:
Worldwide, tele-justice has emerged as a secure way of carrying out legal procedures. By installing a video conferencing system at the courthouse as well as the prison facility, defendants can participate in all legal procedures without law enforcement having to shoulder the dangers associated with jail-to-courthouse prisoner transport.
Peoplelink conferencing systems allow judges, legal professionals, court officials, inmates and witnesses to seamlessly communicate face-to-face in real-time, as if they are in the same room.
Security benefits
There are risks attached to transporting convicts from prison to the courts. In addition, there are also costs in the form of deployment of policemen, security charges and transportation. Tele-justice yields considerable savings on these fronts
Increased Operational efficiency:
With PeopleLink Video conferencing solutions, agencies can increase their operational efficiency by processing more cases and alleviate security and logistical problems for courts, law enforcement and corrections by decreasing transportation requirements.

In the very early springtime, I learned years ago to apply epsom salt around the dripline of my azaleas and rhodies to encourage blooming - and it does work well. I am wondering if anyone can comment on using epsom salt around my stubborn Lady in Red hydrangea that refuses to blossom?
Also, some growers warn to keep hydrangeas out of the full sun, and others say the opposite. Confusing! My best flowering hydrangeas get morning and afternoon sunshine. Because Lady in Red was so "pricey" I carefully planted it to receive half and half - up against a woodsy area. Thanks to all who have responded. Donna |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well....Magnesium sulfate(Epsom Salt)is not considered an importent nutrient for flower bud set/production (its primary usage/need in the plant is for chlorophyll production).With that said, if you like how it makes your plants look and bloom, DO NOT change...plants don't read the books:-)> BUT...it is a common, underutilized nutrient in the garden that can really help keep your plants "GREEN". From the standpoint of a healthier,greener plant...you could say that it was helping induce flowers(from an indirect standpoint it helped "encourage blooming"). From a minor nutrient standpoint, Hydrangea macro. does love Iron and I do think the Epsom salt would be beneficial also. A quick remedy to see how they react is a foliar application....1.5-2 Tbsp.s Epsom Salts per gallon of water. spray to drip in the EARLY MORNING hours (1/4 Tsp of dish soap...just a little bit... as a wetting agent) |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 22, 07 at 9:03
Epsom's salts (magnesium sulphate) can be beneficial to plants that have a high magnesium demand - tomatoes and roses come to mind immediately - and it does promote the development of chlorophyl as schmoo mentions, but there is nothing in this amendment that improves flowering ability. And the routine use of an amendment like this can lead to an overabundance of specific elements that could produce counterproductive results unless you perform regular soil tests. In a PNW climate, partial shade is desirable for most hydrangeas - morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal. Too much shade can result in impaired bloom and too much sun will result in daily wilting in summer and bleaching of the foliage. It often takes a season or so for new shrubs to settle in, establish a good root system and perform as described. I wouldn't be overly worried about LinR's lack of blooms unless it suffered any winter dieback (possible in our bizarre weather last winter) or it is receiving excessive fertilization. Both of these can affect bloom potential. Most likely it just needs additional time. And I'd avoid applying any sort of amendments or fertilizing unnecessarily. Test you soil first and apply only as the test indicates deficiencies are present. FWIW, a regular mulching with compost or other quality organic matter will reduce the need for pretty much any supplemental amending or fertilizing and is most beneficial for the soil organisms. |

Re: Do I need to get a car loan to raise my FICO score to excellent?
[ Edited ]01-13-2013 10:10 AM - edited 01-13-2013 10:11 AM
Interesting scenario you have Dingler. I would think an auto loan would help.
My score found here on my Fico is nearly identical to yours at 742. I have an recent auto loan from June 2012 and have opened 9 credit cards in the past 8 months. My oldest card is about 9.5 years (guesstimating) and my newest one from a couple of days ago. My combined credit limits are nowhere near yours at $58,000 without AMEX charge in the mix (again guessing as I have a couple of AMEX charge products). I do have a previous auto loan that ran full term and was never late. I do have a couple of 30 day late from 5.5 years ago.
How can we be so close in score yet you have older and larger lines? I have heavy usage and always pay in full but that has not really important until the last 8 months (PIF prior but I was mainly a cash or debit card user).
No matter what becomes of this income will factor in the mortgage. You have a nice file and I don't see a lender having an issue with giving you the best rate based on your current score and if income/investments etc. are in line. Have you considered talking to the bank and feeling this out? I assume you have a good relationship with one and would like to use them for both auto and mortgage? Bankers have some leeway and will work with you (or that has been my experience).
Best of luck!

Political party | Democratic |
Spouse(s) | Harvey Schakowsky (1965–1980) Robert Creamer (1980–present) |

Janice "Jan" Schakowsky (born May 26, 1944) is the U.S. Representative for Illinois's 9th congressional district, serving since 1999. She is a member of the Democratic Party.
The district includes many of Chicago's northern suburbs, including Arlington Heights, Des Plaines, Evanston, Glenview, Niles, Park Ridge, Rosemont, Skokie, Wilmette, and Winnetka. It also includes a large portion of Chicago's North Side bordering Lake Michigan.
Early life, education and career[edit]
Schakowsky was born Janice Danoff in 1944, in the city of Chicago, the daughter of Tillie (née Cosnow) and Irwin Danoff.[1] Her parents were Jewish immigrants, her father from Lithuania and her mother from Russia.[1][2] She graduated from the University of Illinois with a B.S. in elementary education where she was a member of Delta Phi Epsilon (social) sorority.[3] She was Program Director of Illinois Public Action, Illinois' largest public interest group, from 1976 to 1985. She then moved to the Illinois State Council of Senior Citizens as executive director for five years until 1990, when she was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives, and subsequently the United States House of Representatives in 1999. She has served there for five terms.
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
Schakowsky is by some accounts the most[4] Progressive member of the current US Congress. She is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. She frequently gains ratings of between 90 and 100 from liberal and progressive interest groups and lower ratings from conservative groups.
In April 2009 Schakowsky pointedly criticized the tax day Tea Party protests, asserting that they were "an effort to mislead the public about the Obama economic plan that cut taxes for 95 percent of Americans and creates 3.5 million jobs." Schakowsky added, "It's despicable that right-wing Republicans would attempt to cheapen a significant, honorable moment of American history with a shameful political stunt."[5]
In Feb 2013, Schakowsky indicated her support for banning assault weapons as only a beginning step towards more gun control measures including a ban on handguns.[6]
As co-chair of the Congressional Caucus for Women's Issues, Schakowsky has been known for her support of women's issues while in Congress.[7]
The Nation endorsed her for vice president in the United States presidential election, 2004, stating that she is 'the truest heir to Paul Wellstone in the current Congress'.[8] She was, however, not selected as John Kerry's running mate.
In response to concerns about electoral irregularities in the state of Ohio during the 2004 presidential election, Schakowsky was one of 31 members of the United States House of Representatives who voted not to accept Ohio's electoral votes.[9]
Schakowsky has been outspoken in her opposition to the Iraq War. She was one of the earliest and most emphatic supporters of U.S. Senator Barack Obama prior to his victory in the 2004 Illinois Democratic primary election, and actively supported his bid for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.[10]
In hearings held by the House Energy and Commerce Subcomittee in July 2006, Schakowsky expressed concern that a report from the National Academy of Sciences showing discrepancies among scientists studying global warming might be "used in a way to discredit the whole notion that our country and the rest of the industrialized and developing world ought to do anything about global warming".[11]
Schakowsky indicated interest in replacing Barack Obama in the United States Senate.[12] Before his arrest, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich had reportedly been considering Schakowsky among at least six candidates to fill the vacancy. Schakowsky was one of the first figures in Illinois to voice interest in running in a special election to replace Obama.[13]
In April 2009, she stated her support for a public option in health insurance, arguing that it would put health insurance companies out of business and lead to single-payer health care, which she supports.[14]
In March 2010 Schakowsky was appointed by Speaker Pelosi to President Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, commonly known as the deficit commission.[15]
In June 2011, Jan Schakowsky condemned the Progressive Democrats of America for their role in the upcoming Gaza Flotilla 2,[16][citation needed] which according to the Progressive Democrats of America website shows support of the Gaza Flotilla.[17][citation needed]
In August 2013 Schakowsky expressed support for increasing wages for fast food employees stating that increased wages would lead to "millions of new jobs" because of their increased spending ability.[citation needed]
In February 2014, Schakowsky (along with 17 other House members) signed a letter addressed to President Obama supporting the removal of marijuana from the DEA Controlled Substances Schedule.[18]
In March 2014, Schakowsky (along with 26 other House members) signed a letter addressed to Secretary of State John Kerry urging him to reject the Keystone XL pipeline application, arguing that it would lead to disastrous climate change.[19]
Committee assignments[edit]
Party leadership and caucus memberships[edit]
- Chief Deputy Whip
- Steering and Policy Committee
- Founding member of the Out-of-Iraq Caucus
- Democratic Vice Chair of the bipartisan Women's Caucus
- Vice Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus
Political campaigns[edit]
Sidney Yates, who had represented the 9th District since 1949 (except for an unsuccessful run for the Senate in 1962), had announced in 1996 that he wouldn't run for re-election in 1998. Schakowsky easily won the Democratic primary, which all but assured her of election in the heavily Democratic 9th. She won in November with 75 percent of the vote and has easily won reelection four times with 70 percent or more of the vote. She is only the third person to represent the district since 1949.

Personal life[edit]
- Husband's bank fraud and tax evasion convictions
On March 11, 2004, Schakowsky's husband, lobbyist Robert Creamer, the executive director of the Illinois Public Action Fund, was indicted in federal court on 16 counts of bank fraud involving three alleged check-kiting schemes in the mid-1990s, leading several banks to experience shortfalls of at least $2.3 million.[21] In August 2005, Creamer pleaded guilty to one count of failure to collect withholding tax, and bank fraud for writing checks with insufficient funds. All of the money was repaid. Schakowsky was not accused of any wrongdoing.[22] Schakowsky served on the organization's board during the time the crimes occurred,[23] and Schakowsky signed the IRS filings along with her husband.[24] U.S. District Judge James B. Moran noted no one suffered "out of pocket losses," and Creamer acted not out of greed but in an effort to keep his community action group going without cutting programs, though Creamer paid his own $100,000 salary with fraudulently obtained funds.[25] On April 5, 2006, Creamer was sentenced to five months in prison and 11 months of house arrest.[26] Creamer served his five-month incarceration at the Federal Correction Institute in Terre Haute, Indiana and was released on November 3, 2006.[27]

Reviewed Grilled Tuna with Olive Tapenade
Apr 5, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"First of all, this recipe is super easy and can be completed in less than 30 minutes if you use an electric chopper. We didn't have kalamata olives at our local grocery store, so I substituted black olives. My husband and I love the flavor, and enjoyed "testing" it on bread while the steaks cooked.""

"This is my all-time favorite porkchop recipe!! I've tried stuffed chops from meat markets and gourmet restaurants, and nothing even comes close! The fact that it's a super-easy recipe is just bonus."

Compendium of Good Ideas on Teaching & Learning
The Compendium of Good Ideas on Teaching and Learning has been developed from interviews with teachers on the Boulder campus who have been cited for excellence in the classroom and contains 113 practical teaching tips. To assist faculty in keeping up with developments in the field of teaching, the Faculty Teaching Excellence Program sifts through the mass of articles written on instructional methods and distributes copies of the best to all tenured faculty. Appearing four to five times each semester, this series is entitled Memo to the Faculty.
This is a collection of 180 concrete teaching tips designed to be useful for any college teacher.
The work of the Faculty Teaching Excellence Program is heavily dependent on research on teaching. In order to improve teaching, the program both monitors work being done at other universities and conducts its own research on classroom teaching. Packets containing a selection of the best research articles on specific aspects of teaching are available free of charge from the FTEP upon request.
