DEADLINE EXTENDED - "Museum Origins" Summer Course in Italy!Posted Dec. 5, 2012
The Museum Origins course offered by the School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) at Kent State University is now accepting applications for the eight-week, summer 2013 class, which includes two weeks in Florence, Italy, visiting museums and learning about the collectors and collections from which they evolved. The deadline to apply for this course has been extended to April 1, 2013.
Remaining seats in the three-credit course will be opened up to upper-division undergraduates in any major, as well as graduate students and anyone who has already completed a graduate degree from any institution. Students in the 2012 course came from varied academic backgrounds, including history, anthropology, classics, business and other fields, and were enrolled in graduate programs at Kent State, State University of New York-University at Buffalo and University of Kentucky.
Admission to the course is competitive; only 15 students will be accepted. Application materials and additional details are available at http://bit.ly/MuseumOrigins2013.
The 2013 course runs from June 10 to Aug. 3, and is onsite in Florence, Italy, from June 30 to July 12. Students will spend the first three weeks reading, researching and preparing for the trip. The next two weeks, in Florence, involve touring museums and private collections that will enhance the readings and help build knowledge for a final research paper. Students will visit, among other sites, the Uffizi Gallery, Museo Stibbert (right), Palazzo Davanzati, Palazzo Vecchio, Museo Galileo and Museo di Storia Naturale. The final three weeks of the class will be dedicated to completion of the research paper. There are no face-to-face class meetings outside of those in Italy.
Kevin Steinbach (below, right, at Museo Stibbert), from Canton, Ohio, took the class in 2012 as part of the Master of Library and Information Science (M.L.I.S.) museum studies specialization at Kent State. He said, "This class is what sold me on applying for the M.L.I.S. degree. I knew without a doubt that I would get the experience of a lifetime and learn so much by immersing myself in the culture where museums were 'born' -- something you can't get anywhere else."
Michelle Rucker, from Columbus, Ohio, is also in Kent State's M.L.I.S. program. Of her experience in the 2012 class, she said, "Even though I am not in the Museum Studies program -- I'm on the librarian track -- this class was still relevant to me. Being there, visiting the museums, walking in the same halls as these famous artists and the Medici -- it was all pretty amazing. And having the local professors as guides added so much more to the trip than if I were to go by myself."
Each day after visiting the museums, students participate in class discussions in Kent State's Florence facility, the Palazzo dei Cerchi, a prestigious building in the historic center of the city, just north of Piazza della Signoria. Medieval Florentine sources date it at about 1280 and indicate that it belonged to the Cerchi merchant family. Records show that in the 15th century, the building was used as studio space for Renaissance painters and later by Cosimo I de' Medici as the ducal printing house. Though fully restored and equipped for state-of-the-art educational purposes, the Palazzo dei Cerchi preserves its outstanding medieval features and decorations.
For the two weeks onsite in Florence, students live in shared apartments arranged by the university. All apartments are fully furnished and located within the ancient city walls and within walking distance of the Palazzo.
The course is taught by SLIS Assistant Professor Kiersten F. Latham, Ph.D., who leads the school's museum studies specialization. She holds a Ph.D. in library and information management from Emporia State University, Kans.; a master's in historical administration and museum studies from the University of Kansas; and a bachelor's in anthropology from the University of Michigan. She has more than 20 years' experience working in museums in various capacities – as curator, collection manager, director, volunteer, program coordinator, archivist, historic interpreter, board member, exhibit designer and consultant.
In Italy, tours and lectures are provided in English by local Florentine scholars.

NEVADA CITY, Calif. — Trackers spent Sunday and Monday unsuccessfully "scouring the area" where a mountain lion attacked a camper near the Yuba River early Sunday morning.
The 63-year-old man, who is from Marin County, was alone at the time of the attack, said state Department of Fish and Game spokesman Mike Taugher.
"He knows the area well," Taugher said. "He had a hike planned, but it got late, and he decided to spend the night."
The man, who was not being identified, spread a sleeping bag out on a tributary to the Yuba River, northwest of Nevada City. Nevada City is roughly an hour west of Truckee.
At approximately 1 a.m., the man told authorities, he was attacked in his sleeping bag for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. He said the mountain lion attacked, bit and clawed him through his sleeping bag, biting through the cap he was wearing and his clothes.
"He was in a mummy bag," Taugher said. "He tried as best he could to defend himself."
The animal ceased the attack, looked at him from 15 feet away for another 15-30 seconds, then ran off, according to a Fish and Game news release. The man drove himself to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and later released.
Fish and Game wardens responded at the hospital and verified the man had suffered severe scratches and puncture wounds. They collected several articles of clothing and his sleeping bag, which were analyzed at the department's wildlife forensics laboratory in Sacramento.
Wardens also responded to the attack scene, where they found lion tracks. Specially trained dogs attempted to track the lion, but were not successful. They also found the remains of one domestic cat with injuries consistent with a lion attack.
"We do have personnel scouring the area with dogs, looking for the scent," said Warden Patrick Foy. "They haven't been able to get a strong enough scent to pursue the lion."
Mountain lion attacks in California are rare, with only 15 verified incidents since 1890. Of those, six were reported as fatalities, although two were due to rabies contracted from the attack. Close to home, runner Barbara Schoener was killed on the American River Canyon trail near Coloma in 1994. The most recent verified non-fatal attack was in Humboldt County in 2007.
It is precisely because such incidents are uncommon that it is difficult to extrapolate a reason for Sunday's attack, Taugher said.
"There's not a lot of data to go on," he said. "It has occurred in the past that they have attacked people in sleeping bags."
Mountain lions are unpredictable, Foy added.
"Sometimes they can stick by their last kill, and sometimes they will run miles and miles away," he said. "People should exercise normal precautions, but just be a little more alert."
Fish and Game recommends not hiking, biking, or jogging alone, and avoiding hiking or jogging when mountain lions are most active — dawn, dusk, and at night. If you encounter a mountain lion, do not run; instead, face the animal, make noise and try to look larger by waving your arms; throw rocks or other objects. Pick up small children. If attacked, fight back.

How to get a FREE 1 Year Costco membership every year
Free 1 Year Costco Membership
[dropcap]Y[/dropcap]ou go over to the customer service counter and give them your 1 year membership card (the primary member has to do this, so the person that got your second card can't do this, but they can come along to get the second card again).
Slide your 1 year Costco membership card over to the clerk and ask for a refund. They will ask you why and you tell them I don't like the fact that it expires. They will give you the money, likely apologize and that will be that.
Turning your card in to get your Free 1 Year Costco Membership
Depending on how bold you are feeling you can do one of two things (there is nothing wrong with either way and I've done it both ways). Once you get your money you can go home or go to a different Costco and get a membership OR you can decide which membership you want and then fill out the membership application. Slide the money (and whatever amount the new rate is (so if 2012 was 55 bucks 2013 might be 58 so you will need to give them 3 more dollars)). I would like a 1 year Costo membership please. If you decided to just do it right then and there, the clerk might give you a hard time, (They aren't supposed to) and they might need to contact the manager (sometimes people make this more complicated then it is). The manager will come down and approve the transaction. The whole process takes about 10 minutes and you save between 50 and 150 bucks. If you didn't do it right then and there, you will have no issue at all and you can continue getting your Free 1 Year Costco Membership for the rest of your life.
The Costco Guarantee that gets you the Free 1 Year Costco Membership
Remember, look over at the sign about the guarantee. It says "We will happily issue a full refund for your membership at anytime for any reason." There is no fine print. This is their rule, and a large reason to purchase a membership. It is put there for 2 reasons. 1) To assure you that you will not be sucked into a membership that has no value without the ability to get your money back. 2) To make sure the thrifty customers who wouldn't normally purchase a membership have an outlet to address their issue with paying money for the privilege of shopping. Now take the money you just saved and go get a Free SAMS club membership it works slightly differently, but SAMS club is definitely worth going to if you have one near you.
If you are interested in reading Costco's membership return policy yourself, simply click this link and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Another SmartTv that has poor Netflix performance
by pfreep57 - 1/27/13 11:03 AM
Another thread titled "Netflix refuses to load things on Samsung Smart Tv" very accurately captured my experience with Netflix on my Samsung. Details:
Device: UN55ES7500
Network Connection is wireless to DSL router running 802.11g, with WPA2 security.
Netflix SW Ver. 3.105
Browser SW Ver. 1.233
I frequently receive the error dialog "We are having trouble playing this title right now." It also typically takes 1/2 to 1 minute to connect to Netflix. In addition, when I run a network speed test (www.speedtest.net) from the browser, I achieve barely 1Mbps download. (Wireless bandwith is 54Mbps and DSL is 20Mbps). My low-end laptop achieves 13Mbps on speedtest.net when co-located with the TV. I also have problems with Blockbuster having to buffer when playing HD movies.
I have installed a 9dB gain antenna on the wireless router and it is oriented toward the TV. When I check the network status on the TV it reports connection to the internet and 4 "bars" signal strength. I can co-locate my laptop with the TV, and stream Netflix without any problems. The laptop reports 5 bars, and "Excellent" signal strength.
I have none of these problems using my laptop. It immediately (< 10sec) connects to Netflix and never even buffers when streaming. When the SmartTv refuses to play a show on Netflix, I can immediately access it from my laptop and it plays fine.
I previously had a UN55D7000 that lost all network capability a few months after purchase. It was replaced with this UN55ES7500, after nearly two months of dealing with Samsung Tech support and two home visits with motherboard replacement by the local support contractor.

Prior to his election to the U.S. House of Representatives, Boehner was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives.[1]
Boehner is running for re-election to the U.S. House in 2014.
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Boehner is one of the most reliable Republican votes, meaning he can be considered a safe vote for the Republican Party in Congress.
Boehner was born in West Chester, Ohio. He earned his B.S. from Xavier University in 1977.[1]
Below is an abbreviated outline of Boehner's academic, professional and political career:[1]

Legislative actions
113th Congress
The second session of the 113th Congress enacted into law 224 out of the 3215 introduced bills (7 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[2] For more information pertaining to Boehner's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[3]
National security
American response in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
Boehner supports President Barack Obama's proposed military strikes against Syria. He stated, "The use of these weapons has to be responded to and only the United States has the capability and the capacity to stop Assad and to warn others around the world that this type of behavior is not to be tolerated."[4]
Response to Putin's op-ed
In September 2013, Russia's President Vladimir Putin wrote an opinion piece in The New York Times arguing that the Syria government was not responsible for the chemical weapons. In response, Boehner stated that he was "insulted" by Putin's editorial, further elaborating:
- "The president does foreign policy and I've always believed while we have opinions, I probably already said more than I should have, but you got the truth."[5]
NSA surveillance programs amendment
The U.S. House of Representatives voted on July 24, 2013, to narrowly defeated an amendment brought by Justin Amash meant to halt the National Security Agency's bulk collection of surveillance data.[6] The amendment would have stripped funding for an NSA program that collects the telephone records of people in the United States, but not the content of calls.[7]
The vote scrambled the usual ideological fault lines in the House, with conservative Republicans siding with liberal Democrats.[8] The House voted 205-217 to defeat the amendment with more Democrats than Republicans voting in favor of the amendment.[9][7][10] From Amasha's own party, 134 Republicans voted against the amendment, with only 94 agreeing with it, while 111 Democrats voted for the amendment, with 83 voting against.[9]
Among the Republicans opposing the measure was Michele Bachmann. Bachmann defended the NSA's data collection programs, arguing that "here's no Fourth Amendment expectation of privacy or right to the business-record exception" concerning the collection of phone metadata.[9] She continued by saying, "If we take this program and remove from the United States the distinct advantage that we have versus any other country, it will be those who are seeking to achieve the goals of Islamic jihad who will benefit by putting the United States at risk, and it will be the United States which will be at risk. I believe that we need to win the War on Terror. We need to defeat the goals and aims of Islamic jihad, and for that reason I will be voting no on the Amash amendment."[9] Bachmann was joined by, among others, Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor in opposing the amendment.[9]
The House on July 24, 2013, overwhelmingly passed a separate NSA amendment, put forward by Rep. Mike Pompeo, that was intended as a middle ground but was blasted by civil liberties advocates as achieving nothing.[7] The measure would ensure that the NSA is barred from acquiring or storing the content of emails and phone calls of people in the United States, but it would allow the NSA to continue storing phone metadata.[7]
Farm bill
- See also: United States Farm Bill 2013
In January 2014, Boehner commented on the farm bill. He believed supply management would be successfully left out of the farm bill in 2014. He said, ""I have fought off the supply management ideas for 23 years that I've been in Congress, and my position hasn't changed. Mr. Peterson and others are aware of that."[11]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[12] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[13] Boehner voted in favor of the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[14]
The shutdown finally ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funds the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[15] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Boehner voted for HR 2775.[16]
Boehner released a statement on September 29, 2013, blasting Senate Democratic leaders over the looming shutdown. He said, "If the Senate stalls until Monday afternoon instead of working today, it would be an act of breathtaking arrogance by the Senate Democratic leadership. They will be deliberately bringing the nation to the brink of a government shutdown for the sake of raising taxes on seniors' pacemakers and children's hearing aids and plowing ahead with the train wreck that is the president's health care law. The American people will not stand for it."[17] While Boehner attempts to shift blame for a potential shutdown on Senate Democrats, a new poll says that 46% of Americans would blame congressional Republicans.[18]
Boehner refused his pay for the duration of the shutdown.[19]
Unemployment benefits
Boehner commented on the debate over extending unemployment benefits. He said, "One month ago I personally told the White House that another extension of temporary emergency unemployment benefits should not only be paid for but include something to help put people back to work. To date, the president has offered no such plan. If he does, I'll be happy to discuss it, but right now the House is going to remain focused on growing the economy and giving America's unemployed the independence that only comes from finding a good job."[20]
In October 2013, a rule against members of Congress traveling on expensive military aircraft was waived for a delegation of thirty House members, including Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, to attend the funeral of longtime Florida congressman Bill Young.[21] The flight time cost was estimated at $10,000 per hour. A spokesman for Boehner told the Washington Post, "Given Rep. Young's long and distinguished service to his congressional district, and especially to the men and women of our Armed Forces, the rule against military aircraft is waived for this funeral."[21] The rule also was waived for two other funerals earlier this year.
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Boehner voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was 1 of 85 Republicans that voted in favor of the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257 - 167 vote on January 1, 2013.[22]
Leadership style
Boehner has a "passive-aggressive" leadership style. He uses, "a passive-aggressive approach to agenda management—wait to bring up bills that will not pass muster with the extremist hard-liners until it becomes clear that they all will suffer from inaction; this allows his members to vote against the bills while the Democrats bail them out." He also works to "mollify his extremist hard-liners. That is, get out in front of them and promote or pursue extremist policies and rhetoric to show he is one of them."[23] While on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, in January 2014, Boehner commented further on his leadership and challenges. He said, "Some members, I have to be the big brother figure. Some, I have to be the father figure. Others, I have to be the dean of students or the principal. Some of them, I have to be the Gestapo." He also added, "I like to describe my job as trying to get 218 frogs in a wheelbarrow long enough to pass a bill. It's hard to do."[24]
Leno appearance
In January 2014, Boehner appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He told Leno, "Listen, I like to play golf. I like to cut my own grass. You know, I do drink red wine. I smoke cigarettes. And I'm not giving that up to be president of the United States." Boehner also insisted his skin tone is all natural and that he does not use tanning beds or spray tans. He also addressed his thoughts on the October 2013 shutdown. He said, "When I looked up, I saw my colleagues going this way. And you learn that a leader without followers is simply a man taking a walk. So I said, 'You want to fight this fight? I'll go fight the fight with you.' But it was a very predictable disaster. The sooner we got it over with, the better." Boehner briefly mentioned 2016, adding he thought his friend, Jeb Bush, would make a good president, but stopped short of endorsing him.[25]
Presidential preference
John Boehner endorsed Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. [26]
Trey Radel arrested for cocaine possession
- See also: Trey Radel#Controversy
Florida's 19th Congressional District Rep. Trey Radel (R) was arrested in the District of Columbia on October 29, 2013, for possession of cocaine. He was officially charged on November 19, 2013, in D.C. Superior Court with misdemeanor possession of cocaine.[27][28] On Wednesday, November 20, 2013, Radel plead guilty to possession of cocaine. He was sentenced to one year of supervised probation.[27][29][30]
Boehner commented on the incident, "Members of Congress should be held to the highest standards, and the alleged crime will be handled by the courts. Beyond that, this is between Rep. Radel, his family, and his constituents."[31]
House Speaker Boehner attended a fundraiser luncheon on August 26, 2013, to help his friend and colleague Mike Simpson in his bid for a ninth term.[32] Boehner and Simpson were joined by Republican Gov. Butch Otter in making remarks to the luncheon crowd.[32]
Before lunch, Boehner appeared at a private event for contributors who made the maximum $2,600 contribution to Simpson for the 2014 primary election, said Brody Aston, Simpson's campaign manager.[32]
Boehner is running for re-election to the U.S. House in 2014. He will seek the Republican nomination in the primary election on May 6, 2014. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
Boehner won re-election in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, to represent Ohio's 8th District.[33] He defeated David Lewis in the March 6 Republican primary and was unopposed in the general election on November 6.
The Washington Post listed the House of Representatives elections in Ohio in 2012 as 1 of the 10 states that could have determined whether Democrats retook the House or Republicans held their majority in 2013.[34] Ohio tied with Pennsylvania for 9th on the list.[34]

Lifetime voting record
According to the website GovTrack, Boehner missed 512 of 12,774 roll call votes from Jan 1991 to Mar 2013, which is 4.0% of votes during that period. This is worse than the median of 2.2% among the lifetime records of representatives currently serving.[64]
113th Congress Speaker of the House Election
During the swearing in ceremony and election for Speaker of the House, John Boehner (R) saw nine Republican members of congress either vote for someone else or abstain and vote present. This is a change from the Speaker election in 2010, where the entire Republican caucus voted for him, then 241 members. Boehner won re-election to the speakership with 220 votes. He needed a majority of members voting, which would be 214 of the 426 who voted. Former Speaker and California representative Nancy Pelosi (D) in turn, received 192 votes.[65]
The nine Republican members who voted for someone other than Boehner include: Justin Amash, Steve Pearce, Jim Bridenstine, Ted Yoho, Paul Broun, Louie Gohmert, Walter Jones, Thomas Massie and Tim Huelskamp. Not all members who voted for someone other the Boehner or Pelosi voted for a current member of the U.S. House. Out-going member Allen West, former Comptroller General David Walker and former Secretary of State Colin Powell all received votes.[65] This highlights the fact that the speaker does not have to be a member of the U.S. House, although all previous speakers have been.[66]
Congressional staff salaries
The website Legistorm compiles staff salary information for members of Congress. Boehner paid his congressional staff a total of $951,055 in 2011. Overall, Ohio ranked 30th in average salary for representative staff. The average U.S. House of Representatives congressional staff was paid $954,912.20 in fiscal year 2011.[67]
Net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Boehner's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $1,914,122 to $5,935,000. That averages to $3,924,561, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Boehner ranked as the 90th most wealthy representative in 2012.[68]

Ballotpedia:Collaboration of the Month
Welcome to the new Collaboration of the Month Project page! (If you're looking for one of our previous projects, check out the archived projects page.)
Here at Ballotpedia, we're a community of users who are constantly working to improve the site and build new content in several different project areas. There are teams working on statewide ballot measures, local ballot measures, state legislatures, redistricting, state executives, and recalls. We'll rotate the topic each month to highlight the work of these different projects.
In addition to giving you an idea of the kind of projects we're working on, we want you to have a jumping off point if you'd like to try out some editing but aren't sure where to start. Be sure to check out our quick guide to editing and our training webinars for help, or feel free to email us. We'd love your feedback on the page and projects. If you have any suggestions for future topics, questions, or thoughts about Ballotpedia in general, you can either leave us a message on the collaboration talk page or send us an email.

If you've found this page, you probably know that Ballotpedia is an online almanac of state politics. But what you may not know is part of our goal is to create an archive of photos relating to state politics. This includes photos of incumbents, candidates, campaign logos, campaign signs and campaign-related events.
We have profiles pages for all incumbents and candidates, but some of them are lacking a picture. Do you have a picture of a candidate that we could use on the site? If so, e-mail it to email@example.com. Please only submit original photos and include the copyright information in your e-mail.
We are also soliciting photos of local campaign signs, either for ballot measures or statewide elections. If you see a campaign side on the side of the road, snap a picture with your camera or phone and send it our way! We'll upload it to the site and include it on the relevant pages and you'll be helping us build a pictorial history of state politics in the United States.
If you attend a campaign rally, why not take a picture and submit it for inclusion on Ballotpedia? Here is an example of a reader-submitted photo, taken at a September 13, 2011 rally in Raleigh, North Carolina regarding the North Carolina Same-Sex Marriage, Amendment 1 (May 2012).
If you have any questions about this month's project, please contact Lauren Rodgers.
Can you believe 2012 is halfway over? July is a relatively quiet month in terms of elections, so we figured it would be the perfect time to highlight Ballotpedia's latest original news report: The Executive Summary. It's a bi-monthly news report prepared by our team of state executive reporters. The reports provide comprehensive coverage of everything related to the state executive offices, from elections and appointments to controversies and current events. With each edition of the Executive Summary, you'll get the most important and relevant information about state executives across the country. You can read the reports on-line or sign-up to have them delivered to your inbox every other Thursday - just put your e-mail in the box to the right!
- The Executive Summary: First edition Jun 14, 2012
- The Executive Summary: Elections, candidate filings and new appointments Jun 28, 2012
The Executive Summary is the latest in a series of feature pieces that Ballotpedia staff produce. You can read about which new ballot measures are coming up with The Tuesday Count, make sense of all the various state legislative deadlines and special sessions with the State Legislative Tracker and keep up-to-date on ballot measure law with the Ballot Law Update. We also have archived, in-depth coverage of the 2010 census redistricting process in the Redistricting Roundup - a weekly series that was published between January 28, 2011 and March 30, 2012.
Want to help out? The state executive team is always looking for good stories to add to the report! If you see something, you can add it to the State executive official news desk or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Feel free to use that same e-mail address if you have any questions or comments about this month's project.
5,999 seats of the country's 7,384 state legislative seats are up for election in the November 6, 2012 state legislative elections.
Here at Ballotpedia, we've developed a unique rubric - know as the "Competitiveness Index" - to measure how competitive each state's legislative elections actually are. The index weighs three factors in determining how competitive an election is:
- If the incumbent does run for re-election, does he or she draw a primary challenger?
- Are there two major party candidates in the general election?
- Is the incumbent running for re-election or not?
This year, a team of Ballotpedia researchers, led by Assistant Project Director Tyler King, are analyzing and compiling a state-to-state comparison of primary elections, general elections and open seats.
How you can help - submit candidate information
With almost 6,000 seats up for election, we need all the help we can get making sure our candidate lists are up-to-date. Do you know of a candidate running for office we don't have a profile for yet? Is there more information we could add to an existing page that would improve our coverage? Or are you a candidate yourself, wanting to provide more information for your own page? We encourage you to use our new biography submission form. Thanks, in advance!
To read more about the project, check out the Competitiveness Index project page or contact Tyler King.
The 2012 election season really heats up in May. There are primary elections, candidate filing deadlines, and ballot certifications going on what seems like every day. At Ballotpedia, we couldn't be more excited, and we've built election plans to let our readers know exactly what kind of coverage they can expect from us. You can read all about what you can look forward to in the coming months in four of our projects: Congress, state executives, state legislatures and ballot measures.
But our elections plans are just the tip of the iceberg. This month, we are asking for our readers to help us add links to official and unofficial voter guides for all 50 states. (Click here for more details).
If you have any questions about this month's project or need any help editing, please contact Lauren Rodgers.
We cover a lot on Ballotpedia, from statewide ballot measures, insurance commissioners and state legislatures to redistricting, recall and Congress.
But did you know that we also cover local ballot measures? At the moment, we cover local measures in 11 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin. With your help, we can expand that coverage to include local ballot measure elections in all 50 states.
When volunteers on Ballotpedia like you can cover local ballot measures in more counties and more states, we will be able to detect patterns and trends both in the types of political topics that show up on local ballots, and in their approval/rejection rates. By volunteering to research and write about local ballot measures in your part of the country, your work will become part of a rich national tapestry.
If you're interested in volunteering and helping expand our coverage of local ballot measures:
- Read through the FAQs on the volunteer page to get an overview of what to expect if you are interested in volunteering in this area.
- Send an email to email@example.com to let her know of your interest and ask whatever questions you may have.
- Post a link to this page on your Facebook or Twitter account and ask your friends/followers to consider getting involved in this project.
You can also check out our page dedicated this to project for more details, or contact Johanna Herman if you have any questions!
Everyone is familiar with the President's State of the Union address. At Ballotpedia, we've begun archiving similar speeches made by each of the 50 governors: the "State of the State." (In Iowa, it's called the "Condition of the State" and in Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia it's known as "State of the Commonwealth.") Whichever name it goes by, these speeches are delivered to the state legislature and fulfill the requirement in most state constitutions that the governor must deliver an annual report to the legislature.
These speeches outline what a governor's priorities are for a particular year, notes some of the struggles their state may have faced in the past year or address some specific national trend. At Ballotpedia, we thought it would be interesting to compile a page of each for as far back as we go. That's where you come in! This project combines internet research with wiki-editing and can be a good place to start if you're testing our your wiki skills. We've already started a page to collect the archived speeches: State of the state addresses, so all you have to do is add links under the appropriate years!
The steps are easy:
- Find the text of an address you can add to our page and copy the link. Stateline is a great place to find state of the state addresses from 2002 - 2011. For older addresses, you'll get to do some deeper research in each state's historical archives.
- On another browser tab (or a new window if you'd prefer) open the State of the state addresses page and click the "Edit" tab on the top of the page.
- In the code, find the year you want to add to. Below these instructions is an example of how the year 2011 looks in the code.
- Add a line for your state and input the link. Using an asterisk in the code creates a bullet on the wiki. A single set of brackets [ ] creates a link to an external website. Inside the brackets, paste the link, press the space bar, and insert the name of the state you're adding.
- Click "Preview" at the bottom of the page to make sure your changes look good, and then click "Save" and you're done!
=2011= <--- Using just one "=" around a heading will make it a tab. {{colbegin|5}} <--- This code will put a list in 5 columns. *[http://stateline.org/live/details/speech?contentId=540472 Alabama] *[http://stateline.org/live/details/speech?contentId=540474 Arkansas] ... *[http://stateline.org/live/details/speech?contentId=540512 Wyoming] {{colend}} <--- This code tells the wiki to end the columns
If you have any questions about this month's project or need any help editing, please contact Lauren Rodgers.
Did you know that Ballotpedia doesn't just cover current politics? We have historic ballot measure pages that date all the way back to 1900! With all of that information, there's a lot of work that needs to be done in order to get the pages looking their best. Throughout the month of February, we'll be focusing the efforts of our staff and volunteers on adding election results box templates to Ohio's ballot measure articles from 1931 through 2008.
These templates give a clean and consistent look across the wiki and provide our readers with valuable information about the votes on individual ballot measures. Here's an example of a template in use, taken from our page on an unsuccessful ballot measure from 1926 that would have eliminated Ohio's compulsory primary:
|Initiated Issue 1
Simple enough, right? By adding just a few lines of code, we are able to present you - our readers - with the information you're looking for in an easily digestible manner.

2012 is finally here! And at Ballotpedia, that means one thing: elections. This month, we're highlighting the work of the state executive officials team as they work to build election and candidate pages. As one of Ballotpedia's newest projects, this is only the second year covering state executive elections - and this year there is quite a jump in the number of elections. In 2011, only three states had regularly scheduled state executive elections.
This year, twenty-one states are scheduled to hold elections to fill 83 executive positions, providing ample opportunity for you to get involved and help us build up our election and candidate pages.
There are several types of pages we have for election coverage:
- State executive official elections, 2012 gives an overview of all election dates and breaks down the election by both state and office
- Each state has its own page that highlights key deadlines, information about primary elections, and a more detailed explanation of each race.
- The races at the top of the ballot (Governor, Lt. Governor, Secretary of State and Attorney General) have separate pages for each race. These pages provide background information about the incumbent (running for re-election, retiring, term-limited from running again, et cetera) and offer in-depth analyses of campaign financing, race tracking, and polling.
So whether you're interested in building candidate profiles, expanding our coverage of background information on a particular race, tracking candidate filing deadlines, or compiling campaign finance reports and polling data, we can use your help. We encourage you to browse through the state executive election pages and find a place where you can add information to make our site better.

Ballotpedia is growing! We recently launched a new project, and we're excited to announce we've started to cover Congress. The project is still in the early stages of development, so it's perfect time to try your hand at editing.
The main project page goes into more details, but here's a snapshot. We're just finishing the first step: building profiles on all 535 current members of Congress. Now there are five main types of articles we're working to build and expand upon:
- Profiles of candidates for Congress.
- Articles that are overviews of elections.
- Profiles of the 435 Congressional Districts.
- Profiles of the Congressional committees
- Features of U.S. Congress such as historical session information and leadership pages
We've put together a guide to getting started, outlining the first steps to get the project rolling. Our niche for coverage this first cycle will be primary elections, but feel free to add to any of our pages. The month of December will focus specifically on building profiles of candidates and election overview pages.
Please contact Geoff Pallay if you have any questions specific to this month's project.
Election season is upon us! Most of our staff time this month is dedicated to election reporting, original analysis, and changing the wiki to reflect the most current results. We are working to bring you interesting, relevant coverage of election-related news. And what better way to learn about the elections that with Ballotpedia's new podcast: the Ballotpedia Voice!
You can learn about ballot measures, candidates, and much more. The best part about it? You can listen on-line or find us in the iTunes store! Just search for "Ballotpedia" and subscribe today!
Please contact Bailey Ludlam if you have any questions specific to this month's project.
The Ballotpedia project teams are always looking for opportunities to work with one another, and October's collaboration provides the perfect opportunity. We are in the process of building an index of the pages that writers in other projects are most likely to link to as they are working on their own projects.
The page is organized using tabs, with a dedicated section for each project. Now, our writers who work primarily on recalls can come to this new page and know the exact terminology to use when writing about the role an attorney general plays in the initiative process, and our state legislature staff will know whether the name or title comes first when writing a news story about state executive officers.
This project is a perfect opportunity for new users to start editing! As you're navigating around the wiki, take note of some of the terms that you see on multiple pages. Check the index of terms to see if they're included on our list; if they are not, add them yourself!
Please contact Lauren Rodgers if you have any questions specific to this month's project.
September marks the beginning of a new school and for students and teachers across the nation. For the Ballotpedia staff, it means a renewed effort to categorize our images!
- Categories are a tool we use on Ballotpedia to help keep track of all our articles, images, and pages. We place articles in categories with others in a related topic. Every page on the wiki should have at least one category; you can find them at the bottom of each page. For example, you can tell this page is in the ''Community'' category because on the bottom of the page it says Category:Community. The categories provide an easy way for us to organize the wiki and navigate between pages. Take some time to explore the different categories you find on pages and see what you can discover.
Our project this month features the work of our entire staff - not just one team. We have all been working hard to make sure all images have categories, but we have come to realize that some of the image categories are too broad. We are now creating sub-categories for Category:Ballot measure images.
You can see our progress here. At the month's beginning, we only had three sub-categories and over 300 images that still needed further categorization.
Please contact the Image Category Manager if you have any questions specific to this month's project.
The state legislatures team needs your help! They have recently introduced a new aspect into their coverage: unique news. The idea is to add small, relevant stories of interest to pages of legislators, committees, or elections. Here are a few examples of what they have done so far:
- A state legislator proposes a tobacco tax
- One legislator holds a yearly gathering for current and aspiring political figures
- Redistricting coverage
The team uses a news desk to compile stories that could be of interest. If you are interested in working on this project, that page is a good place to start for generating story ideas. Or, you might even be aware of a local story that we have not yet seen!
Please contact the State Legislature Project Director if you have any questions specific to this month's project.
Follow up from Project Director
In August 2011, the monthly collaboration project focused on unique news additions for the state legislative project. The goal here was -- and is -- to add original and unique news additions to profiles, chambers, committees and election pages.
Over the course of the month, unique news pieces were added to more than 80 state legislator pages. Among the many different topics covered were state legislators declaring an intent to run for election in 2012 and the California State Assembly declaring individual budgets were not public record.
These types of additions to the wiki pages provide an individuality to that gives it a sense of originality from other pages in the project.
Over the course of the coming months ahead, the state legislative project will continue to focus on adding unique news components to profiles.
Geoff Pallay, Project Director for State Legislatures
The latest installment of our Monthly Collaboration comes from our ballot measures team. They are working to improve two decades worth of ballot measures, and the focus of this month is 1990 ballot measures. We'll work to make sure each of the measures is featured in chart form, and add an introduction explaining everything. The end-of-the-month goal is for the pages to look similar to our 2010 ballot measures page, with each of the ballot measures featured in chart form and a short introduction on the main page.
Please contact the Ballot Measures Project Director if you have any questions specific to this month's project.
