When Do Campaign Finance Laws Become A Way to Protect Incumbents?
Guest Blogger
Rick Pildes
I'm unsure of why this has anything to do with incumbent entrenchment. Is there any reason to think that challengers are more likely to be self-financed than incumbents? A simpler explanation is the conservative wing of the court disfavors campaign finance reform generally and is attempting to chip away at the regulation.
"But it is also hard within conventional constitutional doctrine to find a way for the law to reach the risk that election rules are self-entrenchment mechanisms."
You wouldn't have to reach the question of self-entrenchment, (The mostly unacknowledged problem with all campaign regulations.) if we just took seriously that "no law", and the lack of any enumerated power for Congress to regulate campaigns, as opposed to actual voting procedures.
The origin of the Millionaire's amendment, on the floor rather than as part of the original McCain-Feingold bill, indicates its incumbent-protection purpose. Incumbents rarely need to self-finance, and challengers have greater difficulty raising money than do incumbents.
As the Davis Court noted, the increased limits for candidates faced with a self-financed challenger argue against the notion that the $2,300 limit on contributions generally or the overall limit on all federal contributions are needed (at those levels) to prevent corruption or the appearance of corruption.
The Millionaire's Amendment was always one of the weakest links in McCain-Feingold, and its demise should not be a surprise.
Professor Hasen's blog expresses the concern that supporters of campaign regulations should have - the implications for public financing regimes that attempt to "adjust" for independent expenditures.
Brett, the thing is, I don't really see how Buckley is wrong on campaign contributions. "No law" clearly means no regulation on advertising or similar expenditures (which are clearly speech), but contributions? When you contribute to the McCain or Obama campaign, there's no guarantee your money is going to be spent on speech at all. It may go to speech, it may go to get out the vote, it may go to powering the lights at campaign headquarters or gas for the plane, it may go to pay off the candidate's mistresses, etc. You just don't know and have no control over the issue.
So an expenditure constitutes money that is used for speech, which the expender directly controls the content of. A contribution constitutes money that may or may not be used for speech, which the contributor does not control the content of. Doesn't that make a big difference from a First Amednment standpoint?
Jeffrey said: I'm unsure of why this has anything to do with incumbent entrenchment. Is there any reason to think that challengers are more likely to be self-financed than incumbents?
Actually, this is very easy to see. Nearly three years ago I looked at the issue of campaign finances by those candidates who are likely to self-fund. Here is what the FEC data I found reported:
Incumbents by far reap among the $613.8 million dollars raised by House candidates in 2004, incumbents received $445.9 million or 72% of the money and that was not for 435 candidates, but 405 incumbents, an average of $1.1 million per incumbent.
Challengers to incumbents garner far less funds, just $91.7 million or just shy of 15% of funds. For the 650 challenger candidates running for the House 2004, that equates to an average of $141,000 per candidates or a little more than 10% of the average incumbent war chest.
Open seat candidates gathered the remaining 13% of funds, totaling $76.2 million. But spread over just 94 candidates, the average open seat House candidate raised $810,000--a competitive sum.
As a result of the vast inequties of funding distrubution, open seat and challengers tend to rely on their own sources of funding, in the form of candidate contributions and loans from the candidates themselves. For all House candidates in 2004, candidate contributions and loans totaled $25.7 million or just over 4% of all sources of funding. But in 2004, incumbents turned to themselves for just $1.38 million of the $25.7 million. Meaning that candidate contributions to incumbent races equated to just 0.3% of funds raised by incumbents.
Simply put, incumbents almost never turn to their own money (and many have lots of money) to fund their campaign.
If Congress was really interested in "leveling the playing field" which was their oft-repeated objective during the debates on BCRA, then they should treat political wealth, that is the massive warchests the incumbents generate while in office, the same as personal wealth and allow challengers to raise funds under increased contribution limits until parity is achieved. But since, post-Davis, asymmetrical limits are unconstitutional, the better bet would be to restrict fundraising by incumbents until such time as a challenger declares or some arbitrary date, such as Jan. 1 of election year or six months from the primary date or something similar.
Of course, such a proposal is not particularly likely to get passed in Congress.
Thinking of designing your own website?
Try www.esolz.net , a professional company which I came across while developing my website. Although I was skeptical about outsourcing my project to an offshore company, my mind was put at rest upon reviewing their proposal. It was clear that www.esolz.net is a team made up of solid web designers who provide quality, value, and support. From day one they consulted with me and involved me in every aspect of the site development.
They completed the project within the agreed 30 days and have exercised extreme diligence in maintaining the website since then.

Over the past couple of weeks I've been conducting an experiment in film watching.
The deal is that I must watch a film every day and make notes about it, with the following rules:
The point is to capture my instant thoughts about a movie and my overall film diet for 30 days, as well as post interesting links to the film in question.
I'm going to use Storify to curate interesting links about the film under discussion and embed them in the post.
Even though the first one is an 1980s John Hughes comedy, I think in the long run you'll find the choices eclectic.
So, this is the inaugural Film Notes post about Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), which I watched on a PVR on Tuesday 20th March, after recording it on Film4 on January 1st 2012.
What follows are my notes from that viewing session (there are spoilers, so if you haven't seen the film you'll have to buy the DVD):

Dan Merceruio, Sono Luminus' in-house producer was nominated as "Classical Producer of the Year;" Sono Luminus's artists also received three nominations for "Best Chamber Music—Small Ensemble Performance"
"We are so honored to have received all of these nominations,"
Out of the 81 GRAMMY® categories, 10 of the categories are for classical music. Sono Luminus received more nominations than any other classical record label and Daniel Shores was also nominated in a non-classical, technical category—"Best Surround Sound Album." This was the first year for Sono Luminus to release Surround Sound Albums and they were the first American label to release in Pure Audio Blu-Ray.
The two albums that received surround sound and engineering nominations (Los Angeles Percussion Quartet's Rupa-Khandha, and Modern Mandonlin Quartet's Americana), and Zofo Duet's Mind Meld were all recorded within six days of each other at the legendary Skywalker Sound. All of the nominated albums were mixed and mastered at Sono Luminus Studios.
Jory Vinikour's The Complete Harpischord Works of Rameau was recorded at the new Sono Luminus Studios in Boyce, Virginia, a recently renovated 95 year old stone church in the Shenandoah Valley.
All of Sono Luminus' nominated albums were recorded with a minimal microphone approach. Both Rupa-Khanda and Americana were recorded with 7 microphones mirroring the 7 surround channels with the ensemble around the array. Mind Meld and The Complete Harpsichord Works of Rameau with both recorded with 2 microphones main microphones, and 2 room microphones for added ambience. All of the nominated albums were recorded using Metric Halo ULN-8s. Rupa-Khanda and Americana Were both mixed and mastered on Legacy Audio Speakers.

About Sono Luminus
Sono Luminus was created in 1995 by Sandy Lerner and Len Bosack, founders of Cisco Systems, when they decided that their expertise in digital signal processing , computational mathematics and physics would enable them to bring a new level of recording fidelity to music. In 2005, Sono Luminus entered the market under its own masthead with the acquisition of the Dorian catalogue. Most recently, the label was a winner of the 53rd GRAMMY® Award for Best Engineered Classical Album for "Quincy Porter: The Complete Viola Works."

When Jeremy and I first started dating, I used to make the joke that he never needed to wine me, just dine me. And as our relationship has continued and we've now moved in together, I find myself so excited that our culinary journey is still proceeding. Together we find ourselves exploring the different cuisines on offer in our city and also on our travels.
One of our favourite cuisines is Japanese, so it's of little surprise that in July when Urbanspoon were promoting a 50% off special at Shiro Izakaya in Central Park, we jumped at the chance and booked for late August (as far out as we could to take advantage of the discount keeping in mind we were about to jetset off to Kuala Lumpur).
I'd actually forgotten that we had this booking until the day before when I received a reminder email from the restaurant, which was a pleasant surprise! A mid-week date night is always welcome in our eyes.
It's a gorgeous view, and funny to be sitting here because the last TV commercial my company produced (and my team worked on as the marketing department) had a short scene with the main character sitting in that same spot!
Our meal starts with one of Jeremy's choices, the Yellow Tail Carpaccio ($19). It's a beautifully plated cold starter - slices of yellow tail, fish roe, wasabi soy and diced dashi jelly, edamame, herbs and wasabi ponzu sauce.
I love the sprinkling of fresh herbs on top for some texture and much needed greenery; and the crispy lotus root chip. As our meal continues we soon learn that lotus root chips are their go to garnish, and this is something we very much appreciate - we're big fans!
What a gorgeous dish, and for Jeremy, the dish of the night. Crispy fried soft shell crab with watermelon, baby spinach, lotus chips and a balsamic reduction and wasabi soy sauce.
I highly recommend ordering this gorgeous dish if you ever come to Shiro Izakaya, it will not disappoint - and could easily attract even the most sceptical of eaters who haven't yet embraced my beloved soft shell crab.
I offer Jeremy a sip but I can tell as he swallows it down that it's not to his liking. He's never drunk aloe vera before and I have to admit, it is an acquired taste! Luckily I grew up on it as a beverage so I'm in heaven as I drink away.
A beautiful wooden bowl comes out to us with a bed of mixed lettuce leaves underneath crispy Japanese style fried chicken pieces and yes more of those addictive lotus root chips! There's an accompanying bowl of homemade mustard sauce on the side perfect for dipping the bites into.
This was fingerlickin' good!
What I particularly like though is the pile of herbed crumbs and the truffle salt that sat in two of the corners. I'm quick to sprinkle both atop of my fish and as I bite down on that wonderfully soft and ethereal flesh, I get the rich salty crunch that contrasts so brilliantly with the meat.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in ordering this again. The fish is perfectly cooked; it's so soft and falls apart but isn't mushy. The skin underneath is silky to my mouth and has just the right amount of rigidity to it as I barely tug with my chopstick.
Since we're taking advantage of the 50% off deal from Urbanspoon/Dimmi, we decide to go all out and order dessert. Jeremy's off sugar with the exception of when we eat out, so I know he's going to enjoy his choice of Tempura Ice Cream ($11) before it even comes out to us.
It's like an explosion on a plate. A golden crisp tempura ball filled with green tea ice cream, surrounded by icing sugar and green tea sugar, diced strawberry and a chocolate sauce.
This dish is very much like a Japanese take on the Chinese classic, fried ice cream. And they've done it justice! The batter is light but thick enough to house the ice cream and prevent it from melting. The green tea ice cream is strong in flavour, and surprisingly it works well with the strawberry and chocolate flavours that accompany it. It's such a fun dessert and I'm pleased to see him clean up the entire plate before emitting a satisfied sigh.
For my dessert, I opt for the Banana ($11) after learning the Yuzu Meringue Pie is sold out (damn!). But it is definitely not a consolation prize. No, this is a masterpiece of carefully constructed elements - banana maki, caramelised banana, sugared almonds, black sesame ice cream and a slick of dreamy caramel sauce down the plate.
There's probably more icing sugar and green tea sugar than I'd say necessary for the dish, giving it a slightly messy look but outside of that the dish is beautiful. The banana maki is savoury and sweet at the same time, the pastry crisp and thin. It cracks with just the slightest pressure of my spoon.
The caramelised banana is outstanding - a fresh piece of fruit with a covering of toffee on the end, allowing you to crack through with as much excitement as you would with a creme brulee. And those sugared almonds, well they're one of the best things on the plate for sure! Sweet, crunchy and delicious.
This is one of the few times in my life where I've eaten black sesame ice cream, and I'm happy to say that this was my favourite of all experiences. It's a distinct flavour, full of sesame and flecked with the occasional textural crunch amid the velvety smoothness in the custard. A great accompaniment to the banana, and a wonderful way to finish our meal.
So our night only cost us $96 in total, including my cocktail! For the quality of food (and quantity) we indulged in on this occasion, that is definite value for money as I would happily pay full price for it. I really enjoyed Shiro - from the courteous and attentive staff, to those stand out flavours that have left me a very satisfied customer. With so many other delicious sounding dishes on the menu, I will come back - perhaps for lunch one day so I can enjoy the sun streaming in through those clean glass windows that overlook our city park.
Needless to say after our first experience taking advantage of an Urbanspoon offer, I will be keeping my eyes peeled for the next one they promote!

Would you say my son is "bratty"?
In a crowded cereal aisle ds and I are picking out cereal. I say,"you need to pick a bag of cereal". Ds points to a box and says "it has a check mark". I tell him that he needs to choose a bag not a box. He refuses so I pick two bags and put them in the cart. Halfway down the crowded aisle, he hits the floor, covers his head and ears and closes his eyes and refuses to move. After I try to talk to him and grab his hand, I pick him up and walk out of the aisle.
That is all the bystanders saw. So, based on just that scenario, as a bystander, would you think I'm raising a bratty child?
No, probably not. If here were very young looking, I'd chalk it up to typical toddler behavior and if he were much older, I'd probably make the assumption that he has some special needs. Only when a kid is really speaking disrespectfully or something do I think he's a brat. A quiet fit like that wouldn't phase me at all.
If he was 9 and throwing things maybe but if he is young and just laying there I would just think he is pissed and will get over it.
Quoting momoftwo0406:
Yes I would. That would not work with my kids one bit. I have never allowed them to throw fits like that.

text: Cole Berry currently serves as world-fusion/funk band New World Ape's percussion virtuoso, but if his passion for their eclectic brand of music ever wanes, he's got other plans. "If I wasn't in this band right now, I'd probably just be in the Andes," he admits. Fortunately, it's that immutable wanderlust that feeds his band's musical fire. The core five of the seven- to eight-piece ensemble met while studying at UC Santa Cruz. In 2009, a year after graduating, Berry was contacted by drummer Beaumont Bradbury. "I was actually in La Paz, Bolivia, recovering from some intestinal issues," recalls Berry, "and I got this email from him saying he wanted to kind of put together this serious progressive dance band, and I said yeah, count me in."

Ha, yep, my portrait shots have increased exponentially since having kids. It's generally easier (and often better!) to photograph their faces than it is a landscape.
I love having them...don't get me wrong. When I posted earlier, I'd had an entire day of constant whines, cries and whinges and I reminiced for a moment of when I shot landscapes often in the peace. But I wouldn't change it for the world.
As for a dog - I used to have three! I took them out with me on my adventures. Unfortunately, they have all since died. The attached was the last to go - my 16 year old cross-lab\setter. Died in the summer :-(

The JCov open source project is used to gather quality metrics associated with the production of test suites. JCov is being opened in order to facilitate the practice of verifying test execution of regression tests in OpenJDK development.
The main motivation behind JCov is transparency of test coverage metrics. The advantage to promoting standard coverage based on JCov is that OpenJDK developers will be able to use a code coverage tool that stays in 'lock step' with Java language and VM developments.
JCov is a pure java implementation of a code coverage tool which provides a means to measure and analyze dynamic code coverage of Java programs. JCov provides functionality to collect method, linear block and branch coverage, as well as showing uncovered execution paths. It is also able to show a program's source code annotated with coverage information.
From a testing perspective, JCov is most useful to determine execution paths (in a Java application) that a test suite is (or is not) executing.
JCov supports applications on JDK 1.0 and higher (including JDK 8), CDC/CLDC 1.0 and higher, and JavaCard 3.0 and higher.
The JCov open source project is created in order to develop a community that will improve it, further its development, and use it to develop test suites. We encourage you to browse, download, contribute, and get involved.

The JCov project opened in the CodeTools Project of OpenJDK (March 21, 2014)

The Harvest Season in Wisconsin
There were 4.9 days suitable for fieldwork during the week ending November 8, 2015, according to the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service according to the " Wisconsin Crop Progress & Condition Report ." Farmers have harvested 76 percent of this year's corn crop as of November 8, which is 19 days ahead of last year and three days ahead of the five-year average (" Fall Cropping Weather" by Carole Curtis). Curtis further reports,
"Despite the rain, the state's topsoil moisture levels held fairly steady at 13 percent surplus, 77 percent adequate and 10 percent short to very short, while subsoil moisture levels didn't change from the previous week's 5 percent surplus, 81 percent adequate and 14 percent short to very short."
Fall tillage, at 63 percent complete as of November 8th, is 13 days ahead of last year and five days ahead of the five-year average. Yields are also looking to be very good. The USDA reports in Wisconsin Ag News-Crop Production that
"Wisconsin corn production is forecast at 505 million bushels, 4 percent above the 2014 production and 1 percent above the October forecast, according to the latest USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Crop Production report. If realized, this will be the second largest corn crop on record.
Soybean production is forecast at 93.0 million bushels, 18 percent above last year and 4 percent above the October forecast. If realized, this will be the highest soybean production on record, 13 percent above the previous high set in 2010."
Further information about 2014 agricultural performance can be found at http://www.nass.usda.gov/Quick_Stats/Ag_Overview/stateOverview.php?state=WISCONSIN
The US Economy
Output. The story by the current macroeconomic data is mixed. Real GDP grew at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.49% in the third quarter, which lower than we would like to see. Consumption remains strong, but real investment decreased by 5.64%. Capacity utilization, i.e. the fraction of overall productive capacity being used, is down slightly since one year previous, but is still very strong at 77.5%. Economic conditions are still encouraging, however the last half of 2015 is not shaping up as well as the first half.
The Philadelphia Fed's Leading Index for the United States is forecasting 1.33% growth over the next six months.
Labor Market. Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 271,000 in October, and the unemployment rate was essentially unchanged at 5.0 percent according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation Report. The number of involuntary part-time workers edged down by 269,000 to 5.8 million in October, and the number of marginally attached and discouraged workers fell by 276,000 from one year previous.
In October, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 9 cents to $25.20, following little change in September (+1 cent). Hourly earnings have risen by 2.5 percent over the year. Average hourly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees increased by 9 cents to $21.18 in October.
The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for August was revised up from 136,000 to 153,000, and the change for September was revised down from 142,000 to 137,000. With these revisions, employment gains in August and September combined were 12,000 more than previously reported. Over the past 3 months, job gains have averaged 187,000 per month.
National Inflation. The Consumer Price Index, an inflationary indicator based on the average price of a fixed basket of consumer goods, was all but unchanged, showing a 0.03% year over year increase in September. However, leading indicators of inflation, namely the producer price index and the employment cost index are both down significantly.
Minnesota and Wisconsin
Employment. Total nonfarm employment in Wisconsin increased by 1,400, and total nonfarm employment in Minnesota decreased by 5,700. In Wisconsin, the most significant job gains occurring in Education and health services, and government. In Minnesota the picture is more mixed with significant job losses in nearly all sectors. The unemployment rate in both states changed little, 4.3% in Wisconsin, and 3.8% in Minnesota.
Housing Market. The Wisconsin housing market finished the third quarter well ahead of the 2014 pace. September 2015 home sales were 11.1 percent higher than September 2014, and the median price rose 4.3 percent to $155,375 over that same period. Comparing the first nine months of 2015 with the same nine months in 2014, home sales rose 12.6 percent whereas the median price increased 5.7 percent to $157,000.
-- 2015 July Home Sales Report
The Case-Shiller Home Price Index, which is a more accurate measure of overall home prices than is median home price, continued to show improvement. The home price index has exhibited consistently positive year over year change. Moreover, the number of homes listed for sale has declined while the average listing price has increased indicating strong demand relative to supply.
The Valley
Regional Indicators. The regional labor market continues to be strong. Across the St. Croix Valley, unemployment rates fell in all counties. Labor Force and Employment increased, indicating a strengthening in employment conditions. The unemployment rate in the region remains at or below the state average for all counties.

The history of salt is the history of the earth. More than 500 million years ago many areas of the globe were under the vast oceans. As the sea retreated from the land mighty deposits of salt were left behind, often hundreds of feet thick.

An interpretation of operators' commutator is what happens when those operators' operations interfere with each other. This interference is what leads to the Uncertainty Principle.
Like position and momentum operators. These operators measure those quantities, and attempting to do so for the same direction of position and momentum leads to interference. However, position and momentum in orthogonal directions do not interfere with each other.
another snazzy way to think about them is as indicators for "curvature". Since it suits a lot of people to think about physics as geometry, the commutation of operators can be used to see the curvature, more or less, of the "space" of states.
So basically we can infer either of the two quantities due to the commutative nature of the operators.Provided, they happen in the same direction , am I right to think it this way ?
Separate names with a comma.

ISSUE: Remembering Mayor Tim Walker
OUR VIEW: Walker's contributions leave a lasting imprint
TOPIC: Old Time Fiddler's Contest
OUR VIEW: A sizzling debut
ISSUE: Planned community storm shelters
OUR VIEW: Not the whole answer
ISSUE: Rededication of Patton Museum
OUR VIEW: Facility refocused and still free
ISSUE: Serving special causes
OUR VIEW: No shortage of heroes
Firefighters long ago became champions of the WHAS Crusade for Children, which raises money for children with special needs throughout Kentucky and southern Indiana.
Although money is raised throughout the year, the firefighter at a road block, bucket in hand, is the image that signals the campaign's peak each spring.
ISSUE: Commission on Military Affairs and CORE
OUR VIEW: Working together for positive growth
ISSUE: Record allocations by United Way of Central Kentucky
OUR VIEW: Growth will empower agencies to change lives
Just how far can a dollar be stretched these days? Pretty far if that dollar was contributed to United Way of Central Kentucky in its most recent fundraising campaign. And that's good news for thousands of children, individuals and families who find themselves needing the services of funded organizations across UWCK's five-county service area.
ISSUE: Raising MIA/POW awareness
OUR VIEW: Local group rallies support for veterans
Lt. John Douglas Hale of Brandenburg is remembered as a sociable and patriotic man who wanted to serve his country.
Fighting in Vietnam, he was on a helicopter on an armed reconnaissance mission March 8, 1971. The helicopter was shot down, exploding as it hit the ground. From the air, search teams could see no survivors. On the ground, because of the enemy position, it wasn't possible to search the wreckage.
TOPIC: On the diamond, CHHS teams excel
OUR VIEW: State berths nothing new to Bruin Nation
The Central Hardin High School baseball and softball teams find themselves on familiar turf this week in state tournament play.
Both have been dominating forces around the 17th District and 5th Region over the last several years.
ISSUE: Death of Officer Jason Scott Ellis
OUR VIEW: There's evil out there
If what investigators have hypothesized about the death of Bardstown Police Officer Jason Scott Ellis is true, there's only one way to describe the still-unknown killer: diabolical.

BofA: Apple sees slow Jan sales
updated 02:00 pm EST, Thu February 23, 2006
BOC retains \"neutral\" AAPL
Banc of America (BOC) Securities analyst Keith Bachman today maintained a "neutral" rating and an $82 price target on Apple, following the release of low January sales results. "While we have concerns about CPU growth in the March quarter, we believe that the month of January will be worse than the quarter," the analyst wrote. "We think the January NPD data exaggerates CPU slowdown." Apple's revenue and units for the month of January grew only one percent and six percent year-over-year, respectively, compared to 25 percent and 20 percent revenue and unit growth in the December quarter, according to Forbes.com. The analyst noted that the new iMacs did not ship until January 10th, and that the MacBook Pros only began shipping February 13-14th.
"We believe that the stock will trade well into product announcements next week, which we believe will include low-end notebook," Bachman said in a report obtained by Forbes.

Dear Abby: I am very concerned about my 33-year-old daughter's safety. A man in his mid-60s, someone she met at a previous job, has become obsessed with her. He has declared his love for her, divorced his wife and slathered my struggling, single daughter with gifts over the last three years.
She has refused his advances on nearly a daily basis, and he is now tracking her every move. If she leaves her house for even 30 minutes, he knows and accuses her of going to have sex with someone. If she says she's coming to my house, he drives by to verify it. If it takes her longer than he thinks it should, he accuses her of having sex with someone. She swears that she has never had sex with him.
This has intensified lately. I'm frantic about her safety. What should I do?
-- Scared Mom in Florida
Dear Scared Mom: Your daughter's "admirer" is showing all the signs of being a stalker. Why is she carrying on any conversations with him and telling him where she's going? If she accepted gifts he "slathered" on her, it may be why he feels she encouraged him. They should be returned.
You and your daughter should go to the police and report what he has been doing. It may be necessary for her to take out a restraining order because this person appears to be unbalanced and may be dangerous.
Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I recently decided to get married. We plan to go to the courthouse next month and have a justice of the peace perform the ceremony.
What we need advice about is how to tell his mom. She feels that marriage is just a piece of paper and you shouldn't need it to prove how committed you are.
Because of her views, my boyfriend wants to "surprise" her the day of the wedding when we all arrive at the courthouse. I think that's a bad idea, and she should have some time to get used to the thought of us being married.
What do you think?
-- Future Daughter-in-Law
Dear Future D.I.L.: I agree that your boyfriend's mother should be told beforehand, and the good news should be delivered by both of you. When she delivers the predictable "marriage is just a piece of paper" comment, you should respond that the piece of paper is an important one to you, and your boyfriend should tell her he's doing this because he loves you and, in the event that anything should happen to him, he wants to provide for you. If she gives you an argument, remember that you're asking for her blessing -- not her permission.
Write Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

2014 Lottery Results Data
2014 Lottery Results Data
In an effort to help families make informed decisions about choosing a school, New Haven Public Schools is publishing last year's lottery data for each Magnet and Charter School. Although the data changes year to year, you can see a snapshot by grade level of how many seats were available for each school. Also, you can see how many applicants applied, how many applicants lived in the neighborhood, and how many applicants had siblings. These numbers reflect a combined total of all first, second and third school choices of each applicant. We hope this information, along with the opportunity to attend open houses, will help families choose schools that will fit the needs of their children.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
About ADICLAADICLA (Association for the Holistic Development of the Basin of Lake Atitlán) is nonprofit rural community development association that provides small loans and services to improve quality of life in two of the poorest regions of Guatemala, home to large indigenous populations. Kiva funding will be used to support three innovative credit initiatives: youth business loans, green loans, and smaller loans to help ADICLA move down-market and serve poorer clients.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Does anyone know if there will be any free radio feeds for the UMW game tonight? I know it will be on the Clone Zone but I went to the last 2 games and don't really want to spend the $10 or whatever it is for just 1 game. I wish I could go but live in Missouri (yes, losing that game will bring me tons of grief at work, dirty tigers...) so I couldn't attend in person. Any help would rock! Thanks!
Possibly on 100.3 the bus or ?101.1fm.
the bus just has the football games
There are not many crowds or places in the country that have a better impact on the game than at Iowa State. The Cyclone fans are truly a sixth man. The place is so loud and always a fantastic crowd." - Former Kansas and current North Carolina head coach Roy Williams
I, too, am looking for it. Someone had it yesterday from some radiotime.com that worked well. I'm not sure how to get there now though. If that person could post the link again, it would be awesome!
Yahoo! Sports - Sports News, Scores, Rumors, Fantasy Games, and more has the subsribtion service.
I love Clone Zone and how the announcers don't know they are able to be heard online. I guess the "Did You Know" is a cupcake question.
"If you can't hear me, it's because I'm in parentheses."
OK- i got it here free-
Des Moines Radio Stations - Listen Online
then click on the 1430 link towards the bottom
Sweet Dude! Awesome, thank you!
Does anyone know if the game is anywhere on the internet? Thanks!!

The rapid growth of online publications such as the Medline and other sources raises the questions how to get the relevant information efficiently. It is important, for a bench scientist, e.g., to monitor related publications constantly. It is also important, for a clinician, e.g., to access the patient records anywhere and anytime. Although time-consuming, this kind of searching procedure is usually similar and simple. Likely, it involves a search engine and a visualization interface. Different words or combination reflects different research topics. The objective of this study is to automate this tedious procedure by recording those words/terms in a database and online sources, and use the information for an automated search and retrieval. The retrieved information will be available anytime and anywhere through a secure web server.
We developed such a database that stored searching terms, journals and et al., and implement a piece of software for searching the medical subject heading-indexed sources such as the Medline and other online sources automatically. The returned information were stored locally, as is, on a server and visible through a Web-based interface. The search was performed daily or otherwise scheduled and the users logon to the website anytime without typing any words. The system has potentials to retrieve similarly from non-medical subject heading-indexed literature or a privileged information source such as a clinical information system. The issues such as security, presentation and visualization of the retrieved information were thus addressed. One of the presentation issues such as wireless access was also experimented. A user survey showed that the personalized online searches saved time and increased and relevancy. Handheld devices could also be used to access the stored information but less satisfactory.
The Web-searching software or similar system has potential to be an efficient tool for both bench scientists and clinicians for their daily information needs.
