New Cuba Policy Reinvigorates Anti-Castro Donors
February 4, 2015 | President Barack Obama's announcement in December that he would start normalizing relations with Cuba seemed a direct shot at a once-powerful lobbying presence in Washington — the large, well-organized and relatively wealthy enclave of Cuban-Americans and Cuban exiles who have been major contributors for decades. Although the community's cash has gone to candidates on both sides of…
In Mississippi Primary, Money Raining In Before the Storm
June 16, 2014 | Sen. Thad Cochran's (R-Miss.) chances of fending off tea party-backed challenger Chris McDaniel remain uncertain a week before the runoff election next Tuesday — but if he loses, it won't be for lack of trying by establishment Republicans. Cochran has benefited from the strong support of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), whose fundraiser last week on…

April 18, 2014 | As the Senate Banking Committee prepares to vote on a new bill overhauling the mortgage finance system, lobbyists from the banking and finance sector have connections and clout.
Defeat May Sting, But UAW Has Piles of Political Cash
February 20, 2014 | A surprise defeat at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga may be partly soothed by the potential to spend big in the 2014 mid-terms.
What Do PACs Care About?
December 12, 2013 | What motivates PACs? The ability to gain influence with a candidate almost certain to win? Or the possibility of swaying a close race to the contestant most likely to be friendly to their cause?
The Gun Money Behind Opponents to the Arms Trade Treaty
October 1, 2013 | On Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry signed the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty, igniting a wave of criticism from pro-gun members of Congress. A closer look shows most of those opponents depend on the gun lobby for campaign cash.

Special Interests Battle Over Immigration Reform
March 4, 2013 | Skirmishing over proposals to overhaul the nation's immigration laws has begun in earnest, but lobbying on the issue picked up months ago. Last year more clients reported lobbying on immigration than in any year since 2008.
The Politics of Super Bowl XLVII
February 1, 2013 | NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the top brass of the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens tilt Republican, though not dramatically. The same goes for the extremely well-funded NFL Gridiron PAC.
Gun Rights Groups' Political Spending Crushes That of Gun Control Supporters
December 14, 2012 | When it comes to lobbying, campaign contributions and outside spending, pro-gun rights groups are light years ahead of those that support stronger gun control. The NRA accounts for most of the spending.

November 21, 2012 | Virginia's Mark Warner decides to stay in the belly of the Senate beast, setting the stage for a VERY costly 2014 re-election bid. And the Terps move to the Big 10, along with Rutgers, but both schools already rank highly in terms of political contributions.
Capitol Eye Opener Nov. 20: Sequestration Puts Cloud Over Defense, Allen West Concedes, and More
November 20, 2012 | The defense sector braces for sequestration. Allen West (finally) concedes. Obama talks with business leaders.

Capital Eye Opener, Oct. 24: The Boss Campaigns for Obama in Swing States, Incumbents Support Citizens United Restrictions, and More
October 24, 2012 | After initially saying he'd stay out of this presidential campaign, Springsteen is everywhere for Obama. And don't think it's only Democrats who want to curtail what Citizens United has wrought.
Capital Eye Opener Sept. 25: Outside Money Worries Cornyn, Campaign Season Good to FedEx, and More
September 25, 2012 | Sen. John Cornyn, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, says the campaign finance system is "broken" because of the influence of outside money.

September 10, 2012 | On this day in 1897, London police arrested taxi cab driver George Smith in what has been reported to be the first-ever drunk driving arrest. One hundred and fifteen years later, drunk driving is a major concern in Washington, D.C., where advocacy and industry groups frequently lobby on the issue.
Dimon, JPMorgan Chase Have History with Senate's Banking Panel
June 12, 2012 | JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is likely to face tough questions about his company's multi-billion dollar trading losses when he steps in front of the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday. Asking the questions will be a group of lawmakers who have campaign finance ties to both Dimon and JPMorgan as a whole.
Most Members of Congress Enjoy Robust Financial Status, Despite Nation's Sluggish Economic Recovery
November 15, 2011 | These days, being a millionaire typically qualifies you as part of the one percent. But in Congress, it only makes you average. About 47 percent of Congress, or 250 current members of Congress, are millionaires, according to a new study by the Center for Responsive Politics of lawmakers' personal financial disclosure forms covering calendar year 2010.
NFL Teams Play Political Football
October 7, 2011 | A new season means a fresh start for teams like the Houston Texans.

Congressional Millionaires To Weigh Obama's Proposed 'Buffett Rule'
September 20, 2011 | President Barack Obama's new tax proposal, which has been dubbed the "Buffett rule," may include a change in how capital gains are taxed. According to the Center's research, 176 current members of the House and 48 sitting senators reported capital gains in 2009.

Insurgent Candidates See Electoral Success in Hot Senate Races
May 19, 2010 | Massive campaign war chests and establishment endorsements were not enough to be victorious in some of the country's most contested Senate primaries Tuesday night. One sitting Senator was defeated and another is heading to a run-off in three weeks, as candidates worked to distance themselves from Washington and position themselves as crusaders against special interests in charged anti-incumbent environments.
Big Boats in the Nutmeg State, Twittering Senators Slow to Disclosure and More in Capital Eye Opener: March 16
March 16, 2010 | TUESDAY SUNSHINE: More than a score of senators like the freedom of communicating instantaneously with their constituents via Twitter but have been reticent about giving constituents the freedom to quickly learn about their campaign donors and fund-raising sources.
Chris Dodd Compromises, Harold Ford Calls it Quits and More in Capital Eye Opener: March 2
March 2, 2010 | U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) spent months railing against the Federal Reserve for what he considered its failure to protect consumers from abusive financial institutions. Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee who isn't seeking re-election, now appears primed to compromise on his standing desire to create an independent "Consumer Financial Protection Agency" designed to protect consumer interests.
Peyton Manning, Jonathan Vilma Foes Both in Super Bowl, Politics
February 4, 2010 | Come Super Bowl Sunday, the Indianapolis Colts' Peyton Manning will stand on one side of the line of scrimmage, inches away from New Orleans Saints' Pro Bowl linebacker Jonathan Vilma, who's tasked with dislodging the all-galaxy quarterback's head. But the outcome of football's biggest game isn't the only point on which Manning and Vilma disagree. In a teeny, tiny Super Bowl subplot, the two rivals are political foils, too.
Aides, Lobbyists and Contributors Among Those Left in Wake of Sen. John Ensign's Alleged Ethics Scandal
October 8, 2009 | Despite a lack of support from key leaders in his own political party, Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) said resolutely this week that he has no plans to resign from Congress in the face of accusations that he's deeply embroiled in an ethics scandal. But it's not just his own party's support at risk -- campaign contributors, current and former staffers and even lobbyists may be re-considering their ties to a man who once served as the GOP's primary fund-raiser in the Senate.
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
Lawmakers Controlling Government's Budget File for Extensions on Personal Financial Disclosures
June 16, 2009 | Members of Congress that control government spending and oversee the beleaguered financial sector are having a hard time getting their own finances in order, CRP has found. Forty of the 63 lawmakers who still haven't filed their 2008 personal financial disclosure (PFD) reports, due May 15, sit on a congressional committee related to the federal budget, appropriations or financial sector oversight.
Democrats Top Freshmen Fundraising List
June 10, 2009 | Only three Republicans rank among the top 15 House and Senate fundraisers, CRP has found based on 1st Quarter campaign finance data, while the list of members of Congress facing the greatest debts is more bipartisan.
Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees
February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
Auto Industry Gives Sparingly to a Skeptical Congress
November 20, 2008 | Why, when Wall Street took the fast lane to grab its share of $700 billion in federal bailout funds, does the auto industry seem stuck in neutral? The carmakers' campaign contributions to Congress suggest one reason: Most lawmakers, especially those on the finance committees that heard this week from pleading GM, Ford and Chrysler executives, don't owe much payback to Detroit.
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
Brothers Grim: Is Lehman Next?
September 12, 2008 | Uncle Sam bailed out Freddie Mac and the company's twin sister, Fannie Mae, this week, and the next in line in the Wall Street family to get a helping hand might just be Lehman Brothers. Executives at the struggling investment bank are looking to sell the company with assistance from the government--and fast--as its stock plunges. Although the government isn't expected to completely bail out Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, the company has built a strong financial relationship with politicians over the years and coincidentally ranks fourth in the largest contributors in the race for the White House.
Update: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers
September 11, 2008 | When the federal government announced two months ago that it would be seizing mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CRP looked at how much money members of Congress had collected since 1989 from the companies. On Sunday the government proceeded with the takeover and we've returned to our data to bring you the updates, this time providing a list of all 354 lawmakers who have gotten money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (in July we posted the top 25).
Lawmakers Exorcise Stevens's Tainted Cash
July 30, 2008 | The Center for Responsive Politics lists all of the current members of Congress who have gotten money from the candidate committee or leadership PAC of Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), who was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury as part of a wide-ranging investigation of corruption in Alaska politics. Now some lawmakers are quickly giving the money away to distance themselves from the embattled senator.

June 16, 2008 | The Center for Responsive Politics has posted the first batch of personal financial disclosures (PFDs) for 2007, making information available about the investments of senators before the floundering economy really started making headlines.
Climate Change: A Hot Issue on K Street
May 27, 2008 | Climatologists aren't the only source of data on global warming. It turns out that disclosure reports filed with Congress show that lobbying on climate change has been heating up sharply in recent years.
The Fortune 535
May 13, 2008 | Ever wondered how your investment portfolio stacks up against your elected representative's?

2006 Election Analysis: Incumbents Linked to Corruption Lose, but Money Still Wins
November 8, 2006 | While voters in some states are still waiting to see who will represent them in Congress, one thing is certain: Money was a clear winner in the 2006 elections. Equally clear was voters' concern about corruption in Washington; officeholders tied to scandal lost in disproportionate numbers.

The people next door to our place, they were immigrants from Italy and they ran the liquor store. And because my parents were foreigners and they were foreigners, they felt kind of at ease with each other. So she came over and said, Hey, Japan attacked Hawaii. What do you mean Hawaii? Pearl Harbor! And my mother was there and Ill never forget she said in Japanese, Those damn fools!
Right after Pearl Harbor, then all kinds of restrictions were made. They had blackouts and stuff. They had some kind of alarm and so everybody knew it was a blackout and no lights were supposed to be showing. We pulled our dark curtains down and then I heard a rap on the door. And I came out and there was a civil patrol guy and I said, Whats the problem? And he says, Well, youre flashing a light. Thats against the blackout. I said, What are you talking about? He said, No, theres a light showing out of your market. So I went out and sure enough the light was showing out the front of the market. And what it was was that when it got too warm in the refrigerator, the temperature got too warm, the refrigerator motor would kick in and to show that it was operating, the light went on. And this light was reflecting against the wall of the building and casting the light out the front. So he says, Well, cmon, Ill have to take you down to the police station. And I said, I turned off the light for you, why do we have to go to the police station? Oh its regulations, we gotta take you down to the police station and you can explain it to the captain. Then my dad and my brother came to the door and said, Whats goin on here? And then the guy says, the civil patrolman says, Who are those guys? So I said, Oh, thats my dad and my brother. Well tell them to come along too. So they took us down to the police station and when we got there, they didnt say anything. They said, Empty your pockets and take off your belts. I said, What for? And they said, Do as I say! So we took off our belts and emptied our pockets and then they slapped us in the cell. My dad sat down and he looked at me and my brother and he says, All my life Ive never been in jail and then the first time Im put in jail, Im in jail with my two sons. He saw the irony of it. The following day they brought us before the judge. Like I say, my sister-in-laws Quaker friends and then the friends of the church that we went to, all those people were all in the courtroom. And the judge says, Well I see youve got a lot of character witnesses here and I understand that youre going to be evacuated next week. And so well drop all charges.
I think it could happen. Especially some ultra-patriots who get the idea that anybody who looks like, you know its just like that general who was in charge of the evacuation, he justified the evacuation, he says a Jap is a Jap, so what the heck, making no distinction between Japanese Americans and the Japanese of Japan. Theyre all of the same lot to him and I suppose that same kind of feeling could exist today.

Thousands of young people throughout the country will experience one of the greatest moments of their lives today.
By inscribing their signatures on a piece of paper, their dreams of receiving an athletic scholarship from a college or university will have been realized. It's what makes National Signing Day such a unique moment for student-athletes who have been blessed with a skill to play a sport at a level higher than many of their contemporaries.
Today just isn't about where Ohio State's recruiting class ranks among the other universities in the country, although ESPN will spend hours of programming grading the haul brought in by each program. It's about the countless other athletic programs at smaller institutions of higher learning and the athletes they recruit.
Those athletes won't be playing in front of 80,000-plus fans on Saturday afternoon in the fall. Some will play before crowds that might be termed a small gathering. There won't be the sound of a victory bell after a winning performance, nor will the streets overflow with revelers.
The most enduring reward of receiving an athletic scholarship is the opportunity to set out a lifetime path through the power of education. Most high school graduates don't play a sport well enough to earn a scholarship. Once the last buzzer sounds on their athletic careers, college becomes a financial hurdle that is often too high to scale for some families.
Having a scholarship in hand is truly priceless. If taken advantage of, a college degree can take a student-athlete to places that will cement their contributions to society.
Apparently that isn't enough for some of the football players at Northwestern University. They're in the formative stages of inquiring to the National Labor Relations Board about the feasibility of starting a union, an idea that would turn college athletics on its head.
There are so many details to consider before anything official could happen. Would the union represent all athletes or just those in the big-money sports of NCAA football and NCAA men's basketball? Would financial compensation through collective bargaining be the same across the board or would the starting quarterback earn more than the backup tackle?
The idea seems a little dirty at first. Since the time when Rutgers and Princeton played a remote version of American-style football in the 1860s, there's always been a purity to college sports that separated it from the pay-for-play versions of professional sports. Contract holdouts never clutter up the offseason in a way that takes away from the game.
No one argues the point that college football, in particular, is a money-making machine. A lot of people who don't suit up on Saturday other than to tie a Windsor knot make a ton of money directly from athletes who ostensibly don't Don't feel sorry for those athletes. If they actually go to classes and seriously study, they'll have the power of a diploma in their hands. That's valuable for the vast majority of athletes - big-time football players included - who will never get rich in the NFL, NBA or Major League Baseball.
If and when college athletes begin to get paid, the clock will begin ticking on a time bomb that will eventually reshape the face of all college sports. No one wants to see how it will all look years from now.
We shouldn't worry about things of that nature on National Signing day. Somewhere near you, young men and young women are making their parents very proud, while completing a trek that began when the basketball they may have carried was larger than them. That's the unfiltered meaning of what today is all about.
Best of luck to all those athletes who are taking big steps in their lives today.

North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams is in good condition after undergoing surgery Wednesday to remove a tumor from his right kidney.
Williams, 62, underwent a 3 1/2-hour surgery, called a roboticpartial nephrectomy, and should be able to fully participate with the club when full-scale preseason practices begin Oct. 12. The tumor's severity is unknown, and test results could be back in about a week.
Doctors discovered the tumor earlier during month during a routine physical and say surgery on his left kidney might become necessary once he has healed from Wednesday's procedure.
"The surgery went well and according to plan," said Dr. Eric Wallen said in a statement. "Coach Williams did great. I fully expect him to coach this season and for years to come. He could miss some practice time if we perform another procedure sometime in October, but he would be able to resume his coaching duties prior to the start of the regular season."
Williams has won 675 games in his 24-year career as a head coach at Kansas and North Carolina. He has led seven clubs to the Final Four, winning national titles in 2005 and 2009 with the Tar Heels. He was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with coach Williams and his family for a full recovery," UNC athletics director Bubba Cunningham said. "Obviously, his health and prognosis are my greatest concerns. He's in great hands with the medical staff at UNC Hospitals.
"The basketball team is also in outstanding hands with (assistant coaches) Steve Robinson, C.B. McGrath, Hubert Davis and Joe Holladay. As coach Williams frequently says, he has the best staff in the country and I know they will do an excellent job as coach Williams recuperates. We will be ready for his return as soon as he is able to do so, but I have stressed to him that he returns only when he has been given the medical approval and he is ready to do that. Hopefully that will be soon and for a long, long time to come."
The Tar Heels open the season Nov. 9 vs. Gardner-Webb. Should surgery on his other kidney become necessary, Wallen said Williams would only miss a few practices.
Williams told his team late Tuesday night but didn't provide many details.
"It was heartbreaking, very surprising," guard senior Dexter Strickland told The News & Observer. "I didn't expect that because nobody knew what it was about. I can't really explain it.
"He didn't want us to worry too much to where it affects our play and him not being here affects us still building as a team and having practice and stuff like that."

I have been asked to write about Sam in such a way as to account for how he accomplished what he did. That is an impossible assignment, so I have chosen to write a somewhat sketchy biographical profile and let the reader draw his or her own conclusions.
Sam's father, Samuel R. Powers, was chairman of the Department of Natural Sciences at Teacher's College, Columbia University, New York, when I first met him. His mother was a lovely lady who devoted herself to ensuring Sam Sr's tranquility. She gave innumerable teas for students and colleagues. Sam's parents were the first faculty members at Columbia University to invite black and white students together to social events in their home. I met Martin Luther King, Sr, and Albert Einstein in their home. Sam's parents were both from Illinois farm country. After they were married, Sam's father obtained his doctorate at the University

Greeley is in for another cool day after a cold front pushed through Thanksgiving morning. Expect high temperatures around 50 degrees. The big difference is we will see more sunshine and less wind. If you're heading out early for a little Black Friday shopping, you may want to bundle up. The day will start off chilly, with lows in the low-20s.
A big warm up is due on Saturday as the winds blow out of the southwest and boost readings into the 60s once more. The warm weather doesn't last long though.
Weld County will experience a slight cool down on Sunday as another cold front pushes through. This one will bring rain and snow, to the mountains on Sunday and Greeley on Monday.
On Monday high temperatures will be around 40 degrees.

The effort began following the April 27 tornadoes last year when Bentley formed the Affordable Homeowners Insurance Commission.
Pieplow was recently appointed to a commission subcommittee for educational purposes.
"His charge would be to ensure that any statutory and/or regulatory proposals to the Governor from the commission be economically sound," ASU President Bob Glenn said.
Pieplow will make a formal presentation to the 31-member commission. The commission will then present their findings to Bentley.
"As a result of April's tornados, everyone saw the catastrophic losses our area incurred," Pieplow said. "But over the last decade, extreme weather conditions have contributed to a tripling of homeowners claim costs and the average price for coverage paid by Alabamians is now in the top third of the nation."
"Governor Bentley recognizes that a lack of affordable comprehensive insurance for homeowners impacts the state of Alabama far beyond the storm damaged communities and because effective legislative solutions have worked in other states, he established the Affordable Homeowners Insurance Commission to study the issues arising from a lack of affordable and comprehensive insurance for Alabama homeowners."

The Best Modern Golf Courses in the Southeastern U.S.
Our series on America's best golf courses continues with a look at the three best modern courses in the Southeastern U.S., as determined by Golfweek magazine's handpicked panel of 385 course raters. The raters, who are students of architecture, attend national workshops and each evaluate 15 to 20 courses per year.
Here's what distinguishes the top modern courses in the Southeastern U.S., according to Golfweek architecture editor Bradley S. Klein. We've also included information on the most convenient places to land your business jet near each course.
Pete Dye Golf Club, Bridgeport, W.Va.
The master craftsman of the devilish arts spent 15 years converting a coal field into a theatrical golf course-no wonder they named it after him. Pete Dye's genius for turning vernacular landscape into playable golf ground has never been on grander display, not with a below-ground mine, a massive coal seam, railway bridges and loading stations all incorporated into these mind-boggling holes. It's rated fifth on Golfweek's best-modern-courses list and has been thrilling visitors for more than a decade.
Harrison-Marion County (CKB) 7,000-ft runway, one-mile drive. FBO: KCI Aviation, (304) 842-3591.
TPC at Sawgrass-Stadium Course, Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
Pete Dye's most photographed-and most controversial-creation is just coming out of a six-month renovation. The 25-year-old layout, ranked 12th on Golfweek's best-modern-courses list, always had a famed island green par-3 17th hole and weird mounding everywhere. Now it also has newly improved drainage, firmer fairways and 250 additional yards, bringing the par-72 layout to 7,215 yards. As home to the PGA Tour's Player's Championship annually, it hosts some pretty good golfers, which is why, to accommodate them, the kick points (that is, "down slopes") in the fairway were also changed, from a measly 287 yards to a beefier 330.
Craig Municipal (KCRG) 4,004-ft runway, 19-mile drive. FBOs: Craig Air Center, (904) 641-0300, (888) 277-6326; Sky Harbor Aviation, (904) 641-8555, (877) 641-8555. St. Augustine (KSGJ) 7,996-ft runway, 22-mile drive. FBOs: Galaxy Aviation, (904) 824-1995, (800) 840-1995; St. Augustine Airport Authority, (904) 209-0090.
Kinloch Golf Club, Manakin-Sabot, Va.
Architect Lester George, who was a terrain analyst in the Army, teamed up with Virginia amateur golf legend Vinny Giles to create this bold layout west of Richmond, Va. It features lots of alternate path holes and flawlessly manicured conditions, including the tightest L-93 bentgrass fairways to be found anywhere in the country. This quiet, private membership enclave ranks 10th on Golfweek's best-modern-courses list.
Richmond International (RIC) 9,003-ft runway, 29-mile drive. FBOs: Aero Industries Inc., (804) 222-7211; Million Air, (804) 222-3700, (800) 962-5262; Richmond Jet Center, (804) 226-7200.

Congratulations to Sullivan's Island Mayor-Elect Mike Perkis, who won a narrow victory over Mayor Carl Smith in the election on May 7. The final numbers are very revealing: Mike Perkis received 459 votes out of 905 total votes cast. There were a total of 446 write-in votes in the mayoral election, of which 430 went to Mayor Carl Smith.
That all works out to 50.7 percent of votes for Mr. Perkis - a very bare majority and just six votes more than necessary to avoid a run-off. Given that there were a total of 446 write-in votes in the mayoral race, that means a total of 49.3 percent of Sullivan's Island voters supported someone other than Mr. Perkis for mayor.
Under South Carolina election law, a run-off election is required unless a candidate garners more than 50 percent of the votes cast.
In the case of the election, that number was 453 votes and Mike Perkis received 459 votes. Had a run-off election been held, the names of the top two vote getters in the race Mike Perkis and Carl Smith, would have been placed on the ballot.
Mr. Perkis' 29-vote margin (involving a write-in candidate) should finally be a shake and wake-up call to Sullivan's Island Town Council.
The 58 percent turnout emphasizes the passion on both sides of this issue.
The fair solution is, of course, to follow the law, finally respect both the law and constituents and give island residents their referendum. It is interesting to note that the number of votes keeping Sullivan's Island out of a run-off situation - six - is equal to the number of town council members who continue to vote to deny Sullivan's Island residents a vote on the referendum.
Mr. Perkis says he wants to "unite islanders" and "establish a dialogue with the people who voted against him." Let's begin with talks on when to schedule the legal/certified referendum on the school.
A referendum on the size and scope of the school is the one thing that will unite and heal Sullivan's Island. Allow islanders to at last have their vote. That is Democracy 101.

For well over a decade small businesses have complained loudly about the affordability of health insurance. Efforts to address this problem have been controversial and often too partisan.
That is why it is important to publicly recognize legislators who are problem solvers and forge a bi-partisan solution to benefit are small businesses and individual policyholders.
Representatives Robert Brown, Wendell Gilliard, Jenny Horne, Chip Limehouse, David Mack, Jim Merrill, Samuel Rivers, Mike Sotille, Leon Stavrinakis and Seth Whipper have joined more than half the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives in sponsoring H.4095.
Thirty-five Republicans and 39 Democrats have found a way to address a critical issue that is making health insurance unaffordable for everybody.
Right now those with health insurance pay higher premiums to cover the uncompensated care of the uninsured, who are mostly low income. For a family policy this additional cost is about $1,000 a year. This cost shifting or "hidden tax" will only go away when most citizens have some form of health insurance.
House Bill 4095 would help low-income citizens obtain private insurance using effective managed care organizations and health savings accounts. Through the effective utilization of federal funds, today's uninsured and insured South Carolinians will realize the benefits of affordable health insurance without adding significant expense to the state taxpayers.
We applaud the leadership of these Representatives in pursuing affordable health insurance for our small businesses and citizens.

In West Africa, deadly violence has forced Guinea's military to ban all public gatherings and demonstrations for two days of mourning. However, some say the military is to blame after soldiers fired on a pro-democracy rally at a stadium.
Angry demonstrators took to the streets, looting shops and buildings. A human rights group says 157 people were killed in the incident and more than 1,200 were wounded. But the government maintains that only 57 died and most of them were trampled.
Now an investigation is being launched into who gave the order for soldiers to fire on demonstrators in the capital.

Every two years, sailors get a chance to race between two spectacular venues by participating in the Charleston to Bermuda Race. That chance comes around again on May 16, the start of this 777-mile adventure. This is the ninth running of the biannual race.
The race starts in Charleston Harbor on Thursday, May 16 at 2 p.m. hours. The yachts expect to be in Bermuda by Friday, May 24 depending on the weather and the power of the wind.
Race Director Randy Draftz says "This race is a truly unique experience crossing the Atlantic Ocean from Charleston to Bermuda, traversing the Gulf Stream. The sailing instructions this year will take into account the number and type of boats participating."
The four yachts accepting this blue water challenge are:
Owner: Jamie Walker
Swan 56
Eagles' Wings
Owner: Dave Skidmore
Morgan OutIsland 416 ketch
Bluefield, Va.
Owner: Steven Gross
Chris White Explorer 44 Tri
Union, N.J.
Owner: Dan Alonso
Hallberg Rassy 49
Cheyenne, Wyo.
"After months of preparation AZURA and her crew are ready for the crossing and looking forward to being out on the ocean and under the stars." says Jamie Walker, yacht owner and participant.
The pre-race launch party will be held at the Charleston Yacht Club on Wednesday, May 15 at 7 p.m. for competitors, Charleston Yacht Club and Charleston Ocean Racing Association members. In addition to dignitaries from Charleston, Andy Burnett-Herkes will be in attendance representing the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club.
The awards banquet will take place at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club on Saturday, May 25.

DEARBORN HEIGHTS, MI — Most of them had never met Brian Woehlke, a 29-year-old married father of 13-month-old girl who died in a Westland fire last week.
Still, his death has moved them.
The young blonde-haired girl waving an American flag as the ceaseless procession of nearly 200 firetrucks from across the state and beyond passed before her on their way to the cemetery; the woman who turned to her husband in front of the church as more than a thousand uniformed service people stood in tight utterly silent rows and whispered, "unbelievable;" The cloudy-eyed man who walked out of the funeralwith a program poking out from his back pocket, turned toward the American flag flapping between the extended ladders of two firetrucks, stopped and saluted, were all moved in the wake of Woehlke's death.
Madison Heights, Chelsea, Detroit, South Lyon, read the sides of Fire trucks passing under and enormous American flag before entering St. Hedwig's Cemetery in Dearborn Heights. Ann Arbor, Pittsfield Township, Romulus, Ypsilanti, Gibraltar, Walled Lake, Northfield Township, Bloomfield Township, Hamtramck and representatives of hundreds of other departments rolled passed, slowly filling the cemetery with red trucks.
"Forever in our hearts, Brian Woehlke," and "God bless our firefighters," read signs held for the passing firefighters.
Some saluted; others placed their hands over their hearts.
"Beautiful but sad," is how Carol Oday, 50, of Taylor described what she saw outside
"It's like a brotherhood; and that's what they are," she said. "They really stick together.
"It's amazing how many guys you know that go into a fire — for you."
The several-hundred-vehicle procession trickled slowly into the cemetery over more than a half hour as onlookers offered support from the roadside.
Woehlke was transported in a vintage, restored firetruck.
At the cemetery, Woehlke's infant daughter, wearing a white dress and peach coat with a blue pasifier in her mouth, played in her young mother's lap.
Members of the Wayne-Westland Fire Department stood in a row to the side of a casket draped with an American flag.
Woehlke, a Wayne-Westland firefighter for just 10 months, died when a building collapsed on him as he fought a blaze in a Westland strip mall early last Wednesday.
White-gloved hands of his fellow firefighters cocked up to their temples.
In the nearby lawn of St. Hedwig's Cemetery more than 1,000 uniformed emergency personnel, in excess of 60 rows well over 20 deep, did the same in unison. The motion was audible.
Friends, family, Woehkle's wife and 13-month-old daughter were silent as Wayne-Westland Assistant Chief John Adams announced the final bell ringing for Woehlke. "When the fire is out and the alarm has come to an end, the bell rings in three sets of three to signal that end," said Adams. "We now pay tribute to Brian who has honorably completed his task with the ringing of the final bell on behalf of our fallen brother."

AND THUS it ends for Terrell Owens.
For anyone who has even remotely followed T.O's career and had dealings with him, can anyone be surprised at its Greek-tragedy finish?
Owens was cut on Sunday by the Seattle Seahawks - which presumably means his NFL career is effectively over.
The former Eagle, who had a dramatic, if short, stint in Philadelphia, did not play last season following surgery on his left knee.

Gilberton police chief, Mark Kessler, running for Schuylkill County sheriff
A local police chief suspended for posting videos in which he fired borough-owned automatic weapons while shouting obscenities is mounting a write-in candidacy for sheriff.
Gilberton Chief Mark Kessler announced his candidacy for Schuylkill County sheriff via social media. He said on his Facebook page that he's running to break the "death grip of career politicians" on both sides of the aisle.
"This won't be easy," Kessler posted. "A write-in campaign is almost impossible, but we hope all true patriots will come assist and turn the tide of this thuggery machine that has been destroying our constitution for decades and decades."
Kessler's pro-gun videos have garnered hundreds of thousands of views online. They show him shouting about the Second Amendment and liberals while spraying machine-gun fire.
Borough council said Kessler didn't have the borough's permission to use the weapons and suspended him indefinitely.
Kessler's disciplinary hearing is scheduled for next week. He has said he expects to be fired.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has opened an investigation against JP Morgan Chase amid allegations that it hired the children of Chinese officials to help boost its business operations in China.
In one example, JP Morgan hired Tang Xiaoning, the son of a former Chinese banking regulator. Xiaoning now chairs the China Everbright Group, a state-controlled financial conglomerate, according to a confidential U.S. government document obtained by The New York Times. After Xiaoning joined the bank, JP Morgan secured several assignments from Everbright, the Times reported.
In another example, JP Morgan's Hong Kong office reportedly hired Zhang Xixi, the daughter of a former Chinese railway official. JP Morgan hired Xixi at a time when the bank helped the China Railway Group, which builds railways for the Chinese government, raise more than $5 billion when it went public in 2007.
The government document doesn't accuse the bank of any wrongdoing but does put the spotlight on hiring practices common among other companies, including large banks, according to the Times.
JP Morgan issued a statement on Aug. 18 saying, "We publicly disclosed this matter in our 10-Q filing on Aug. 7 and are fully cooperating with regulators."
Specifically, JP Morgan referenced the SEC probe in a quarterly Form 10-K filing this month. In that filing, JP Morgan said it had received a request from the SEC Division of Enforcement "seeking information and documents relating to, among other matters, the firm's employment of certain former employees in Hong Kong and its business relationships with certain clients."
More Charges
The news of the latest probe comes in the same month that the government is investigating the bank's $6 billion trading loss in the "London Whale" scandal.
On Aug. 14, the SEC charged two former traders at the bank with fraudulently overvaluing investments in order to hide massive losses in a portfolio they managed.
According to the SEC, Javier Martin-Artajo and Julien Grout were required to mark the portfolio's investments at fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and JP Morgan's internal accounting policy. When the portfolio began experiencing mounting losses in early 2012, however, Martin-Artajo and Grout schemed to deliberately mismark hundreds of positions by maximizing their value instead of marking them at the mid-market prices that would reveal the losses.
Their mismarking scheme caused JPMorgan's reported first quarter income before income tax expense to be overstated by $660 million.
In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York today announced criminal charges against Martin-Artajo and Grout. "The trading instruments were complex but these traders had a simple rule to follow: tell the truth about their fair value," said George Canellos, co-director of the SEC's Enforcement Division. "Yet these traders brazenly accumulated a massive position in derivatives with lax oversight and then lied to cover up their massive losses when the market turned against them."

This is a follow up post from my recent article on how to choose a domain name in 2013 and is one of the most well researched and thoroughly thought out follow up articles ever. I unfortunately cannot take the credit for this incredibly well researched update but instead have to highlight the brilliance of one of my readers, Mike Steinberg.
Mike, take it away mate…
I know the subject of using Brand Names in Domains has been talked about but there is still one thing I think needs to be looked at. I did some Google work on the subject, and there are conflicting idea's on whether a brand can be
safely used in the domain as a sub-domain. i.e.;
as opposed to making it a main page/directory:
mydomain-com/sony/ .
I didn't really find any solid evidence that you can't do it that way, except for one case:
Jews for Jesus vs. Google.
They apparently went to court over this. No decision was handed down, and the case was dismissed, because they settled out of court <undisclosed>. So, apparently, there is no legal precedent set as a result. However, it does leave the door wide open for speculation!
I felt that everyone who is involved in Niche Marketing should have another look at this and make up their own minds as to how risky this is, and of course how they prefer to proceed with it. I have included four opinions on the subject that I researched through Google. I thought they were revealing, and worth looking at.
At one point, someone below has an idea that on the surface, I thought maybe could have been workable. But, after weighing all the evidence, there still remains the question of what the trademark holder might do, because of your INTENT. That is: to include model or identifiers with the brand name: i.e.;
makitalxt.mydomain-com/ .
Again, the one word concerning this whole thing seems to be "Intent," as implied by the very definition of Trademark Infringement:
"Usage of a trademark or similar trademark in order to create confusion, or take advantage."
When you are putting the Trademark out in front in the sub-domain, even though there is a dot there…honestly…isn't that exactly what you are trying to do? I hopped around in Google Search for a while, to confirm what I already knew, and generally what most marketers do is create a domain with a "Sub-Directory." i.e.;
and make the Sub-Directory your main static page. Your "mydomain" keyword will be a general one: i.e.; <cordless drills>, to target the Niche.
Internet Responses To The Use Of Trademarks In Domains
- Avoid trademark infringements by using subdomain?
You are right. A subdomain or folder under main domain (which I think a subdomain really is anyway) – it can be whatever you want. It matters not what Sony or anyone else thinks. I think you may want to read up on trademarks before you get yourself or others into trouble. The definition of Trademark infringement is, and I quote:
"Usage of a trademark or a similar trademark in order to create confusion or take advantage. Infringement happens if the prior consent of the mark holder is not taken."
They would have a VERY good case against you and for the reason you started this thread. You said you already know that sonyproductreview-com is infringing on trademark and so you are looking for other ways to manipulate the setup of your domain so it appears as the same thing to the customer.
You are trying to create the confusion between your site and the domain you already know is an infringement of trademark. Otherwise, why not just use yoursite.com/sony as you said. This makes the distinction a whole lot clearer to customers and would be much harder for Sony to say you are using their brand name to your advantage.
- "If a word is trademarked, it's trademarked. I don't see what difference adding a dot (.) makes."
I beg to differ. So do you think this url is breaking any laws?
How about this one:
Sometimes, a subdomain has been contested by WIPO. It depends on Intent. But if you have: e.g.
Then it's clear you are not pretending to be Sony. "Sony" is simply a category in your site. And I'm pretty sure that a subdomain is nothing more than a mapping to a sub-folder anyway. If subfolder/web page names could not contain brand names, the internet would die overnight.
Of course, you should seek legal advice. But if you consider cyber squatting on one side, and legitimate website use on the other, I would put the use of subdomains much closer to the latter.
Now if you make a domain like:
then clearly you are pretending to be Sony and that is not on. But I am sure that is not your intention anyway.
In the example of: sony.myreviews.com:
A customer looking quickly at that domain setup, could very easily think that they are looking at a Sony website. That is where the confusion lies and that is the only grounds they need, for them to take action against you.
As I mentioned, if you are not trying to deceive customers then you will have no problem using the setup such as:
There is no real advantage to using sub-domains, so folders should be fine. If you do see any domains using trademarked brands as subdomains, then they have either gotten permission, or they have not been caught yet.

- Re: Avoid trademark infringements by using subdomain?
Here's the skinny on what can quickly become a complex area of law:
-" It is not against the law to use a trademark in a domain name."
There is no such law.
For example, here is a domain I could register, which is perfectly legal and I guarantee (as much as a lawyer can guarantee anything) does not by itself infringe any trademarks:
What a trademark does is protect an identity associated with a product to prevent consumer confusion as to who is responsible for the product. That is why my domain example is not infringing. There is no possible consumer confusion as no one would believe that is an Apple website.
(I expect someone to come along and say that is what "they" think — so let me word that differently — it is not something your average, reasonable consumer will think.)
Of course, registering:
could result in a different outcome. And of course, if I register:
there is plenty of potential confusion as that appears to be an official Apple site. Generally, a trademark does not give someone monopoly rights on that word.
Now for the ultimate question, what about subdomains?
Although there was the one lawsuit years ago by an "interesting" group on the issue (that garnered it plenty of publicity) that did not result in any rulings, there are not "lawsuits" being filed over this issue.
In my opinion, as a general rule the practice is fine.
Naturally, I have to say "as a general rule" because if I say it is simply fine, someone will come along with an example I have not thought of and I might have to change my mind for that example.
But after reviewing literally hundreds of domain dispute judicial rulings, and having litigated similar issues, I have not seen a situation, or read any court opinion, that would make me think there is a problem with subdomains.
Here is the rub …
The problem with a trademark as a domain is the initial consumer confusion that may arise from seeing the domain. You're not going to have that with a subdomain.
* But that doesn't mean it's open-season to do anything you want with the subdomain.
For example: if you create your own "Sony Camera" to sell on:
then you've got a problem. Not just with the product, but possibly also with the subdomain because it is part of a broader scheme to infringe on Sony's trademark.
That is the scenario I see as most likely, if such an issue ever reached a court.
But, if you're an affiliate for Amazon, Best Buy, etc., and you're promoting Sony cameras as sony.yourdomain.com, that's fine.
In fact, there are opinions ruling that type of situation can give you certain rights to use a trademark, even in a regular domain.
That is because it is a legitimate use.
This "skinny" is getting a little long, so I'll stop. But here's a rule of thumb I've learned from 20 years in practice … Person A can do something that is trying to make an infringing use of a trademark and be real slippery in trying to avoid liability.
Person B will do the exact same thing, but it's a wholly innocent situation and there is no attempt to infringe. Judges tend to find a way to hold Person A liable – but not Person B.
Well there you have it… you DO have it don't you? Good – can you fill me in then, my brain hurts… think I'll go shopping instead, I could do with a new leather briefcase 😉

The bioluminescent bay (sometimes called 'phosphorescent bay' or bio-lagoon) in La Parguera is one of the highlights of any trip to Western or South Puerto Rico. Located just off the coast near the town of Lajas and the area of Guanica, is the bioluminescent bay at La Parguera. The lagoon is about a 20 minute boat ride from the docks at La Parguera, accessible by boat only. The bio-bay at La Parguera is one of the three natural bioluminescent bays in Puerto Rico and one of only seven in the entire world.
Although bioluminescence in the ocean is nothing new, the thing that makes the three bioluminescent bays in Puerto Rico special is the fact that they have luminescence every day, year-round. In most areas of the world the luminescent effect is something that occurs only during special seasons or special circumstances.
You'll find that the bio-bays and bio-lagoons in Puerto Rico are a great experience for the entire family. The warm, shallow waters in the bay make for a calm and surreal experience, as you swim amongst the glowing dinoflagellates. The family at Paradise Scuba and Snorkel Center will take you on a fantastic snorkeling and bioluminesncent bay experience, complete with homemade empanadillas, beer, soda and snorkel gear.

We never exactly needed an excuse to fawn over any of the incredible Mercedes-Benz C 111 prototype sports cars, but if Mercedes says the European launch of a diesel-powered SLK roadster — the SLK250 — is the ideal time to pull the C 111-IID out of storage for some press shots, who are we to argue?
We've known about the SLK250 for a few months now, but today marks the first day European customers can purchase one. The SLK250 shares the same mill found in the C250 BlueEfficiency, which is a2.2-liter, turbo-diesel I-4 rated at 204 hp and a whopping 369 lb-ft of torque. It's mated to a seven-speed automatic, although a six-speed manual will be offered next spring. Mercedes-Benz says its diesel droptop will go from 0-62 mph in just 6.7 seconds and should "counter the common misconception that diesel engines and sports cars are incompatible."
Arguably the company's C 111-II D and C 111-III prototypes did so much long ago. The C111 was a gullwing-doored research vehicle created in the 1970s to serve as a test bed for future technologies. The C111-I utilized a gas-powered Wankel rotary engine, but the C111-II, III, and IV were all diesel-powered. The C 111-III featured a diesel I-5 that was rated at 230 hp, and ultimately posted a record-setting 199 mph average speed while traveling for over an hour on a racetrack.
Mercedes says the SLK250 realizes the promise set by the C 111 series — we agree somewhat. Yes, it's a diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz sports car, but darned if it's just not quite as stunning and otherworldly as any of the C 111 prototypes…

Thank you for pointing out the obvious.
why cant u guys believe he cant lead. i now he gets out of control sometimes but that is sometimes he has improved a lot after kakishi trained him i think he is more calm and can lead a group.
Kakashi trained him to control his element, NOT improve his leadership skills. Naruto is as reckless as ever, and he lacks the leadership qualities needed to become a chunnin.
lol as i said in another post subtle things seperate those of kage level and kage candididates for now naruto isnt a candidate untill he strts to plan more tacticly, hes shown he getting there with his use of shadowclones but hes gotta turn that skill to the whole mission if he hopes to lead.
I fail to see the purpose of this thread. It's a given that although Naruto is a genin, his fighting ability is that of at least a chuunin or higher. There is no debate about it, it's a given. Naruto, is a genin but he can fight against S ranked shinobi such as akatsuki, I'm preeeeetty sure that stating although he's a genin, he's more powerful than the average genin is redundant and unnecessary.
