text: I have a hot water reheat coil that I pulled out many years ago and have been saving it thinking that I may use it someday. Some day is now here. I have a crawl space area that I am thinking about using this in with a small fan, Domestic pump, aquastat remote bulb space stat, relay and control valve all of which I own already (except the pump). The coil is 16 x 20 with 2 rows of tubes. 10 tubes/row 1/2" tubes. I am thinking of using the how water from the tank which runs about 120° to 130°F. Any thoughts on the btuh capacity I can get out of this coil at these temps. I am not sure of cfm I will get out of the small fan that I have attached. The application is not critical it is just for tempering the space. The kitchen is above and the floor is cold when we reach ambient of about 20°. Control scheme is pretty simple,Call for heat starts pump, aquastat starts fan. Satisfied stops pump, aquastat stops fan. Crawl space has a heat run already so freezing is not an issue. Main question is BTUH of coil. I have no idea how to calculate this. Just want to see if the effort is worth it.

Another View: How's that right-to-work opposition working out for NH?
A right-to-work law is back in the news in New Hampshire. The Democrat-led House of Representatives defeated it Wednesday. The Democrats asserted that citizens with the right to choose whether to pay union dues or fees for employment only have a right to a lower standard of living and lower wages; that the very idea of a right to work is driven by radical ideology. Clever? Yes. Correct? You decide.
My perspective is that of someone who is north of three score in age, politically Independent, having been registered as a Democrat for many years. I've lived in New England for more than 30 years and have lived or spent large amounts of time in all other regions of this country.
Do you remember when there was a Digital Equipment Company (DEC) facility in just about every other town in southern New Hampshire? Do you remember when Raytheon and Cisco employed lots of folks here? Do you remember Hadco/Sanmina? These and other companies (employers of large numbers of folks, paying really good wages) are all gone from here. What has taken their place here in the last 10 to 15 years? How do folks make similarly good wages as were made with those employers?
Twenty-four states have right-to-work laws. What kind of economic activity has been occurring in those over the same time we have seen so many companies leave? Can you say BMW and Boeing in South Carolina? KIA in Georgia? Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Honda and AirBus in Alabama? Honda in Mississippi? Toyota in Texas and Tennessee? Do you believe that anyone working there has accepted a "lower standard of living" by taking those jobs?
In a June 12, 2012, article about 22,000 people applying for about 900 new jobs at an Alabama Hyundai plant, it was noted that the average salary at Alabama's three auto assembly plants "tops $54,400, according to data from the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Alabama," which contrasted with the "overall annual average wage in Alabama (which) is $34,600."
And what was one of the major reasons these manufacturer's moved to these states? Right-to-work laws. Workers could choose whether to join the UAW or other union, whether to pay dues or fees; they would not be forced to give up their right to choose what they wanted to do.
Since DEC, Cisco, et al, left New Hampshire, what companies have moved in here offering large numbers of jobs at 160 percent of the average income? Who? Where? How about anywhere in New England?
Now please don't tell me that you really don't want any such manufacturing jobs to come here; please don't say that you don't want folks to be able to make 160 percent of the average wage just because they would work in a large manufacturing plant. Who would not like to get a slice of the kind of economic pie those other states got?
And what company is going to move into any New England state knowing that their employees will be forced to join a union or pay fees if their workforce has unions? Who?
So, what are the objections to right-to-work laws all about, then? Money and politics. Unions contribute large amounts of cash to the Democratic Party, which uses that in its efforts to reelect Democratic candidates to political office. Unions are a major contributor to the Democratic Party, and Democratic elected officials in turn "scratch the unions' back" while in office. That makes a nice team.
Unions have indeed played a very positive role in labor relations in the United States over the past century. But should you be forced to join one or to contribute to one because the company where you want to work is unionized? Should you not have the right, in a free society, to choose whether to join or to contribute? Since union dues and fees go to the Democratic Party war chest, should you not have the right to decide whether to contribute to that party?
I believe that the citizens of this great state can see beyond the doublespeak of Democratic Party opposition. Do you actually believe that having the right to choose is giving up your rights? When Democrats say that wanting a right to work is driven by radical ideology, that it will destroy middle-class values, do you actually believe those claims?
When one has no substance to one's argument, then one resorts to the kind of baloney that the Democratic Party is dishing out. Does real economic opportunity and growth, as seen over the past 20 years in these states with right-to-work laws, mean more to you than keeping Democrats in power means to you?
Now, those are important facts. The denial of your right to work is in fact the one thing guaranteeing you "the right" to a lower standard of living, a "right" to lower wages, a "right" to miss out on a big economic pie, a "right" to being forced to contribute to the Democratic Party.
Which right is more important to you?

VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI added seven more saints onto the roster of Catholic role models on Sunday, saying their example would strengthen the church it tries to rekindle the faith in places where it's lagging. Two of them were Americans: Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint from the U.S. and Mother Marianne Cope, a 19th century Franciscan nun who cared for leprosy patients in Hawaii.
Native Americans in beaded and feathered headdresses and leather-fringed tunics sang songs to Kateri as the sun rose over St. Peter's Square ahead of the Mass. Also taking part was Sharon Smith, whose cure from complications from pancreatitis was deemed a "miracle" by the Vatican, paving the way for Mother Marianne to be canonized.
In his homily, Benedict praised each of the seven new saints as examples for the entire church, calling Cope a "shining" example for Catholics and Kateri an inspiration to indigenous faithful across North America.
"With heroic courage they spent their lives in total consecration to the Lord and in the generous service of their brethren," he said.
Pilgrims from around the world attended the Mass, which started with the head of the Vatican's saint-making office reading aloud each of the names of the seven new saints in Latin, drawing cheers from the crowd.
"It's so nice to see God showing all the flavors of the world," marveled Gene Caldwell, a Native American member of the Menominee reservation in Neopit, Wisconsin who attended with his wife, Linda. "The Native Americans are enthralled" to have Kateri canonized, he said.
Cheers rose up again when Benedict, speaking in Latin, declared each of the seven saints and worthy of veneration by the entire church.
"It's amazing!" said Sheila Austin, a nurse who traveled with pilgrims from Syracuse, New York, for Mother Marianne's canonization. "There have been people working for many years so that today would come about."
The canonization coincided with a Vatican meeting of the world's bishops on trying to revive Christianity in places where it's fallen by the wayside. Several of the new saints were missionaries, making clear the pope hopes their example will be relevant today as the Catholic Church tries to hold onto its faithful in the face of competition from evangelical churches in Africa and Latin America, increasing secularization in the West and disenchantment with the church over the clerical sex abuse scandal in Europe and beyond.
One of the new saints was Pedro Calungsod, a Filipino teenager who helped Jesuit priests convert natives in Guam in the 17th century but was killed by spear-wielding villagers opposed to the missionaries' efforts to baptize their children.
Rome's sizeable Filipino expat community came out in droves for the Mass, including Marianna Dieza, a 39-year-old housekeeper who said it was a day of pride for all Filipinos. "We are especially proud because he is so young," she said.
The two American saints actually hail from roughly the same place – what is today upstate New York – although they lived two centuries apart.
Known as the "Lily of the Mohawks," Kateri was born in 1656 to a pagan Iroquois father and an Algonquin Christian mother. Her parents and only brother died when she was 4 during a smallpox epidemic that left her badly scarred and with impaired eyesight. She went to live with her uncle, a Mohawk, and was baptized Catholic by Jesuit missionaries. But she was ostracized and persecuted by other natives for her faith, and she died in what is now Canada when she was 24.
Speaking in English and French, in honor of Kateri's Canadian ties, Benedict noted how unusual it was in Kateri's culture for her to choose to devote herself to her Catholic faith.
"May her example help us to live where we are, loving Jesus without denying who we are," Benedict said. "Saint Kateri, protectress of Canada and the first Native American saint, we entrust you to the renewal of the faith in the first nations and in all of North America!"
Cope is revered among many Catholics in Hawaii, where she arrived from New York in 1883 to care for leprosy patients on Kalaupapa, an isolated peninsula on Molokai Island where Hawaii governments forcibly exiled them for decades. At the time, there was widespread fear of the disfiguring disease, which can cause skin lesions, mangled fingers and toes and lead to blindness.
Cope, however, led a band of Franciscan nuns to the peninsula to care for the patients, just as Saint Damien, a Belgian priest, did in 1873. He died of the disease 16 years later and was canonized in 2009.
"At a time when little could be done for those suffering from this terrible disease, Marianne Cope showed the highest love, courage and enthusiasm," Benedict said in his homily. "She is a shining and energetic example of the best of the tradition of Catholic nursing sisters and of the spirit of her beloved St. Francis."
Two-hundred fifty pilgrims from Hawaii traveled to Rome for Mother Marianne's canonization, including nine Kalaupapa patients.
Another pilgrim was Smith, of Syracuse, New York, whose 2005 cure from complications from pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas, was declared medically inexplicable by the Vatican – the "miracle" needed for Mother Marianne to be named a saint. In an interview last week, Smith recounted how she had fainted one day in her home, an allergic reaction to medication she was taking for a kidney transplant, and awoke in the hospital to find that doctors weren't giving her much time to live.
Her disease was eating away at her insides, causing her stomach to detach from her intestines. Doctors said they couldn't repair it. At a certain point, a nun pinned a bag of ashes and dirt from Mother Marianne's grave on her and prayed.
"I had never heard of her, but we continued to pray," Smith said. "And I just, I started getting better."
"I believe in miracles, but I don't know whether it was all the prayers, or the pinning of the relic, but I know that something worked and I'm here for some reason," Smith said.
The Vatican's complicated saint-making procedure requires that the Vatican certify a "miracle" was performed through the intercession of the candidate – a medically inexplicable cure that can be directly linked to the prayers offered by the faithful. One miracle is needed for beatification, a second for canonization.
The other new saints are: Jacques Berthieu, a 19th century French Jesuit who was killed by rebels in Madagascar, where he had worked as a missionary; Giovanni Battista Piamarta, an Italian who founded a religious order in 1900 and established a Catholic printing and publishing house in his native Brescia; Carmen Salles Y Barangueras, a Spanish nun who founded a religious order to educate children in 1892; and Anna Schaeffer, a 19th century German lay woman who became a model for the sick and suffering after she fell into a boiler and badly burned her legs. The wounds never healed, causing her constant pain.

Northwest Louisiana Child Dies From Swine Flu; Toll Up To 20
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — State health officials have confirmed the death of a Northwest Louisiana child caused by the swine flu variety, known as H1N1 influenza, one of several strains currently circulating.
The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals say the child died Wednesday at a Shreveport hospital. It's the first confirmed pediatric death in the state this flu season.
Officials say the death has been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as required by law, but it won't show up in the state's surveillance report until next week.
At least 20 people have died in the state from the flu since Oct. 1.
In a news release Friday, DHH Secretary Kathy Kliebert urged residents to be serious about taking preventive measures against spreading the flu.

NEW YORK (AP) — Veteran newsman Ted Koppel, who reports on Friday's "Rock Center" about young offenders in adult prisons, said NBC hasn't done Brian Williams and his young newsmagazine any favors with its scheduling shuffles.
The show debuted on Halloween 2011 and now airs on Friday after previously being on NBC's schedule for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
"Just when you think somebody might figure out when it's on and want to see it the next week, they move it to another place," said the former "Nightline" anchor. "That's not helpful, and I think Brian deserves more support than that."
He said Williams is "a powerhouse of a guy, and I think he's going to emerge triumphant in the end."
"Rock Center" has been averaging 3.8 million viewers a year this season, although it recorded less than 2.8 million last week in its Friday at 10 p.m. time slot, the Nielsen company said.
Koppel does about four or five stories a year for "Rock Center," in addition to some writing, work at National Public Radio and lecturing.
His story on Friday talks about thousands of youngsters placed in solitary confinement in adult prisons. They're sent to these prisons out of a public desire to see people who commit adult crimes punished like adults. To protect them against violence and sexual predators in prison, they're kept apart from the general population.
But being placed in solitary confinement creates its own set of problems, Koppel said. His story focuses on the experiences of Kevin Demott, a Michigan man with mental health issues who attempted armed robbery at age 13 and was kept in solitary for many months.
"I'd been interested in prison-related stories for a long time, and I had no idea we had so many kids in adult facilities," Koppel said.
Despite NBC's ratings problems, network TV still carries plenty of power to get the issue in front of people, he said.
"If a couple of million people end up seeing this piece on Friday night, and 1 percent may be moved to do something about it and say, 'this is crazy, we've got to get these children out of prison...,' then hallelujah, God bless the network."

NEW YORK (AP) — Billy Ray Cyrus is clutching a Red Bull for dear life and with good reason.
These are not take-it-easy times for the singer-songwriter. He's in a very odd place for a country music star — the Ambassador Theatre on Broadway, furiously preparing to make his singing and dancing stage debut in the Tony Award-winning musical "Chicago."
"You can't tire a man out who's already tired," says Cyrus, 51, in the darkened theater after a recent rehearsal. Still, there's something exhilarating in his eye. "Sometimes you've just got to step up to the plate to learn something new."
It's a big step indeed for the man who brought us "Achy Breaky Heart" as well as his daughter Miley Cyrus. For seven weeks, Cyrus will be playing the ethically challenged lawyer Billy Flynn, a part played by Richard Gere in the film version of "Chicago." His run starts Monday and ends Dec. 23.
Set in the 1920s, the musical is a scathing satire of how show business and the media make celebrities out of criminals. It has Bob Fosse-inspired choreography, skimpy outfits and killer songs such as "All That Jazz," ''Cell Block Tango" and "Mr. Cellophane."
If it seems that Kentucky-born Cyrus is really out of his element in a jazzy, bluesy musical, he's quick to remind you that he was discovered in the early 1990s playing the Ragtime Lounge in Huntington, W.Va.
"Here I am, in some ways, I'm back to the ragtime only it's a whole lot bigger and it's in the middle of the center of the universe. It's on Broadway but I'm back to my ragtime roots," he says.
Cyrus, who in person is as amiable as a pair of well-worn cowboy boots, is having something of a creative burst these days following personal turmoil. He filed for divorce from his wife of 17 years in 2010 only to call it off five months later. Now, in addition to Broadway, he has a new album out, the slyly titled, "Change My Mind," and an autobiography due out in the spring.
"I can't sit still. I'm sure if they'd have diagnosed me as a kid they'd have said I have ADHD. And maybe I do, but thank God they didn't give me something to stifle that," he says.
His work ethic seems to have rubbed off on his kids. His daughter Brandi, whom he hasn't seen in two months, stops by the theater to say hello before she continues her tour with her new band, Frank and Derol.
Brandi Cyrus says she's proud of her father and thinks he'll tame Broadway. "My dad's a performer, above anything else. Whether it's on TV or it's onstage playing music," she says. "Put him in front of a crowd of people — even if its three people — he'll entertain you until the night is over. He's great at it. I'm excited for him."
Before Cyrus went off to get shoes made — he was rehearsing in his own old cowboy boots — the singer talked about the stage, his music and Miley's engagement to Liam Hemsworth, the younger brother of "Thor" actor Chris Hemsworth.
AP: What's a country boy doing on Broadway?
Cyrus: It turns me on to do things where I can grow as an actor, as a singer, as a songwriter, as a musician. I like doing things that challenge me. Some of the artists that I've been a big fan of are those artists who continue to go through evolutions and reinvent themselves. I think that's important sometimes — reinvent. Think of Cher, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton.
AP: Is it funny to find yourself playing the smarmy attorney Billy?
Cyrus: I've never done anything like this. To play a lawyer? I'm usually on the flip side of that. So this is a real stretch for me. The music? It feels right. This music could be part of me. Finding Billy Flynn as a lawyer? That's why I'm here. I want to become a better actor. I love acting and this looked like a real great opportunity for me to learn. And to be on Broadway? This is like me getting a doctorate as an actor.
AP: You also have a new album, one that celebrates 20 years as a recording artist. What does it sound like?
Cyrus: I tried to touch on all my roots in the album, certainly from the bluegrass to the outlaw country to the other spectrum of rock 'n' roll — Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. I will say there's a healthy dose of Southern rock. It leans heavy on the Southern rock and branches out from there.
AP: How do you write music? What comes first, the melody or lyrics?
Cyrus: I write a song completely when I write it. I hear the words and music altogether. But I can't sit down and write a song. My songs come when I'm dealing with inspiration and desperation colliding. It's a moment. They come and I hear the words and the music.
AP: Lyrically, will we learn more about your private life?
Cyrus: I'm never going to write Shakespeare, but I don't have any desire to. That's not what I do. My songs come as they are. It ain't nothing fancy but it's very, very honest. If you want to know me, just listen to the songs I write.
AP: We're curious about how Miley became engaged. What did Liam do?
Cyrus: He said, 'Mr. Cyrus, can I have your daughter's hand in marriage?' And I said, 'Liam, can I be in your brother's next movie?' That's pretty close to the truth, to be honest with you.

French drugmaker Sanofi said it won approval from European authorities for a second multiple sclerosis treatment, paving the way to start selling both drugs in the region soon.
The marketing authorisation for injectable drug Lemtrada from the European Commission follows a similar green light for MS pill Aubagio on August 30, Sanofi said in a statement on Tuesday.
"The company intends to begin launching both products in the EU soon," Sanofi said.
The endorsement by the Commission followed positive recommendations from the European Medicines Agency earlier this year. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expected to rule on Lemtrada in late 2013. Aubagio won U.S. approval a year ago.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system and can lead to numbness, paralysis and loss of vision. MS is estimated to affect more than 2.1 million people globally, with about 630,000 people affected in Europe, according to Sanofi.

Strong winds topple trees, cause power failures
Power restored in Pocket, Arden neighborhoods
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —
The incidents of wind damage continue to grow as a strong wind system picks up in the Sacramento region.
The National Weather Service has posted a wind advisory for most of Monday.
Blustery winds whip through the Valley
Already, downed power lines and toppled trees have been reported from downtown Sacramento to the City of Davis.
The Sacramento Municipal and Utilities District reported two major power failures due to the winds Monday morning.
Here's a list of other incidents throughout the region:
- A reported 10,000 customers in the Pocket and Arden neighborhoods experienced some sort of power failure, according to SMUD's website. Power has been restored in both areas.
- A power line in Davis collapsed, shutting down an intersection at Pole Line and Covell Boulevard. It is expected to be closed for most of the day, police said.
- As of about 10:30 a.m., about 91 customers were still without power in Davis.
- A driver hauling a trailer said wind was to blame when it overturned on Interstate 5. The crash closed down lanes on the Yolo Bypass.
- Reports indicated that power lines were down on Engle Road, Garfield Avenue and Walnut Avenue early Monday morning.
Other reports of trees falling were made throughout Sacramento.

Everything is the same.
The girls' locker room with the automatic light that only comes on seconds after waving your arm in front of it.
My name, written in shitty cursive, calling out to the Class of 2008 from the underside of a bright blue support beam. Other names etched into decade old dust. Tara from the Class of 2002. Kendra from the Class of 2007. We were all that young once. I want to write a thank you note to the janitors that never visit here. I want to write it in the dust and see how long it lasts.
Posters defining courage and integrity and excellence still decorate the hallway. Touchdown Jesus still has his arms raised and our senior pictures still hang in thick plastic sheets across the hall from him and the storage space and development office.
Everything is the same.
It's strange–strange enough to force us into classrooms to try to find our names in books older than we are. It's strange enough to make us lose track of time as we scan their histories, dating from 1988 to 2011. It's strange enough to make it a little more believable when we find our siblings, but never ourselves. But we look and we look and we look.
We look through stacks of Physics books, Grammar and Composition books. We don't bother checking the Bibles but we check the weight room and then we realize that it's all so perfectly familiar because it is the place. The place where, if not all, at least most of it happened. I want to sing "Oh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet" to the hallways and the classrooms and to that one teacher who kept her closet light on and her room covered in butterflies.
I want to say thank you, but mostly I want to say goodbye.
"There was this book I read and loved, the story of a ship
That sailed around the world and found that nothing else exists
Beyond his own two sails"
And mostly, I want to let go and move on and find a way to make a life that dares me to act, then asks me for my truth.
And what did you learn today, it will ask. And I will tell it all.

"Super" political action committees and nonprofits unleashed by the Citizens United 2010 Supreme Court decision have spent more than $840 million so far on the 2012 elections, with the overwhelming majority of it favoring Republicans, particularly presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Of all outside spending in the elections, more than $450 million was dedicated to the presidential election: More than $350 million has been spent helping Romney and about $100 million to help President Barack Obama. The spending helped close the gap on Obama's considerable fundraising advantage over Romney.
The totals are from a joint analysis of Federal Election Commission data by the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan organization that tracks campaign spending, and the Center for Public Integrity, a nonpartisan investigative organization. The centers' analysis covers the period from Jan. 1, 2011, through Oct. 28, 2012, and it doesn't include independent spending by the political party committees.
The final tally will be higher as spending continues to accelerate before Election Day.
Obama's campaign has raised more than $632 million in the 2012 election, 62 percent more than Romney's $389 million. Even when including money raised by the Democratic and Republican national committees, Obama has an edge: $924 million for the president's re-election team, versus $758 million for Romney and the Republicans.
The deluge of outside spending was made possible by a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court and a lower court ruling that allowed individuals, labor unions and corporations to give money to outside spending groups – mostly nonprofits and so-called super PACs – to buy advertising that attacks or supports candidates.
Unlike traditional political action committees, super PACs have no contribution limits and the money they raise can't be donated directly to candidates. The money has been used primarily to pay for attack ads.
Before the Citizens United decision, groups that wanted to advocate expressly for or against a candidate were limited to receiving no more than $5,000 per donor per calendar year. Super PACs now are allowed to raise unlimited amounts from corporations, unions and individuals.
In the current election, super PACs generally have been backed by super donors. Billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and his family, for example, had given $54 million to Republican super PACs as of mid-October, far more than any other donors in this election cycle.
Nonprofit "social welfare" groups and trade associations can raise just as much money, but they aren't required to report their donors. The lack of transparency sparked legislation to require disclosure, but it was defeated.
Nonprofits were responsible for more than $245 million, or about 30 percent, of the $840 million in total outside spending. That's about $100 million more than they spent in 2010.
Of the total spending amount, an estimated $577 million, or roughly 69 percent, was spent by conservative groups, compared with $237 million spent by liberal groups, or about 28 percent, with the remainder expended by other organizations.
During the week of Sept. 30, outside groups benefiting Romney spent about $16.5 million, mostly on ads attacking Obama. Three weeks later, the seven-day total jumped to more than $55 million, according to FEC filings.
Outside spending benefiting Obama over the same period never exceeded $14 million, records show.
Super PACs have raised about $660 million in the 2012 election.
Restore Our Future alone accounted for about $1 out of every $5 in super PAC donations received. The pro-Romney group raised more than $130 million, much of which was spent decimating the candidate's rivals during the Republican primary.
The Obama-backing Priorities USA Action raised $64 million.
The amounts have grown significantly: In 2010, their first year of existence, all super PACs combined raised $85 million.
The explosion in outside spending has coarsened the political debate, flooding the airwaves in Ohio, Florida, Virginia and other battleground states with negative, often inaccurate ads.
Roughly 80 percent of all spending by conservative groups and liberal groups has been negative, FEC records indicate.
All of the nearly $57 million that Priorities USA Action reported spending has been on negative ads about Romney. The group, which coined the slogan "If Mitt Romney wins, the middle class loses," linked him to the death of a woman who lost her battle with cancer.
Another of the super PAC's most memorable ads featured a worker describing how building the stage on which officials announced his plant's closure, after it was bought by Bain Capital, which Romney helped found, was like building his own coffin and it made him "sick."
Eighty-eight percent of Restore Our Future's spending went toward negative ads, as did 95 percent of the expenditures of American Crossroads, another super PAC.
Many of these ads have criticized Obama's handling of the economy, arguing that the country "can't afford" four more years of the president's policies. One spot features a small-business owner saying, "We can't create more jobs until Obama loses his."
Others ads have featured disillusioned Obama supporters from 2008 expressing disappointment with the president.
The top 149 individual super PAC donors – each of whom has contributed at least $500,000 – are responsible for $290 million of the money raised.
And 858 individuals who contributed at least $50,000 to super PACs accounted for nearly 60 percent of the money the groups have collected in the 2012 election. By way of comparison, the median household income in 2011 was $50,054, according to the Census Bureau.
Donations from large, publicly traded corporations have been relatively rare, but in the waning weeks of the campaign, oil and gas giant Chevron wrote a $2.5 million check to the Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC backing Republican candidates that's closely associated with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
The emergence of super PACs has been heralded by some, such as Republican lawyer Brad Smith, a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission who co-founded the conservative Center for Competitive Politics.
Super PACs "have helped to level the playing field between Romney and Obama, whereas otherwise Obama's spending advantage would have been substantial," Smith said. "And in some cases they have raised issues that concern voters that the candidates have chosen to avoid."
Others disagree.
"When elected officials rely on the most-wealthy of wealthy Americans, it means the voices of everyday people lose out," said Nick Nyhart, the president of the advocacy group Public Campaign, which favors publicly financed elections.
As important as super PACs have been in the 2012 election, the loosening of political spending rules for non-disclosing, nonprofit organizations was also a key development after the Citizens United decision.
Republican-aligned nonprofits have outspent their Democratic counterparts by more than 8 to 1.
Federal law requires nonprofits' spending to be reported only if a group's advertisements encourage viewers to vote for or against a candidate, or if they mention a candidate shortly before a political convention or election.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, the author of the Supreme Court's Citizens United 5-4 opinion, made a point of saying that disclosure was a key part of the court's rationale. Disclosure would allow citizens to monitor the new political activity.
"This transparency enables the electorate to make informed decisions and give proper weight to different speakers and messages," he wrote.
But the tax-exempt groups are spared by Internal Revenue Service and FEC rules from having to publicly reveal their donors.
Researchers Robert Maguire of the Center for Responsive Politics and Alexandra Duszak of the Center for Public Integrity contributed to this report.

Muslims and Doctors in France....
A new problem has emerged....male doctors.
France's leading gynecologists have challenged hard-line Muslims to bow to France's secular, "modern" rules of society and to stop insisting that female doctors examine their wives.
The heads of the French National College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians issued a public declaration rejecting any moves to undermine the principle that public hospitals are part of a secular state in which patients must accept being examined by a doctor of the opposite sex.
The move came after a consultant in Paris was punched by a Muslim who was concerned that a male doctor wanted to examine his wife after complications in childbirth. Though incidents of gynecologists being attacked on religious grounds remain rare, the declaration said some Muslims' rejection of secular norms appeared to be rising.
The college said: "Thirty years ago, Muslim women came into our hospitals without any alarm at being taken into the care of doctors, most of whom were men, and there were none of these difficulties. Why are things going backwards? It is for Islam to adapt to the liberties that all must possess in a modern state."

PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — A Denver Broncos fan said he thought he might die when he was stabbed five times outside Sports Authority Field after a game against San Diego this month.
Matt DeHerrera said one stab wound was just above his heart and all were near vital organs, the Pueblo Chieftain reported Sunday (http://tinyurl.com/q9jw37k ).
DeHerrera said he, his brother and a friend were backing up in the parking lot after the Dec. 12 game when their vehicle was almost hit by another. DeHerrera said he got out of the car to investigate and was stabbed.
"I was in the hospital thinking I might die. I had to be rushed into surgery," he said.
His brother and the friend were each stabbed once. Their names have not been released.
Justin Lee Manzanares, 29, was arrested for investigation of assault. No listed phone number could be found for him.
Denver Police said they do not release victims' names and could not confirm DeHerrera's account. They said earlier that three people were stabbed after a near-collision in the lot and that the incident wasn't related to Denver's 27-20 loss to San Diego.
DeHerrera, who lives in Denver, said he spent five days in the hospital and missed work. He said he is still in pain, especially in cold weather.
"It feels like the wind just rushes through my body and it's very painful," he said.
DeHerrera describes himself as a diehard Denver fan and a regular tailgater, and the Dec. 12 Broncos game was his 100th.
"I love going to the games, it's my favorite thing," he said.
"Now it's kind of a scary thing. I never imagined going to do something I really enjoy would result in getting stabbed," he said.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — They are biking from Newtown to Washington to send a message.
Twenty-six cyclists are riding more than 400 miles in support of what they describe as common-sense solutions to prevent gun violence. There is one rider for each victim of December's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, in which 20 children and six educators were gunned down.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut calls the ride a "rolling rally" against special interests, particularly the National Rifle Association.
The riders are expected to arrive at Capitol Hill on Tuesday. Blumenthal says the Judiciary Committee is expected to meet next week to evaluate changes to gun laws.
