Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
- Fundraising Down for GOP Dissidents, but Koch and Citizens United Stayed TrueOctober 17, 2013 3:07 PM
GOP House members who pushed for a government shutdown and default saw their fundraising drop off in the third quarter -- but Koch Industries and Citizens United were with them all the way.
- Koch Industries and Citizens United Back DissidentsOctober 11, 2013 12:31 PM
Despite the fact that Koch Industries has attempted to distance itself from the budget and debt ceiling hardliners in Congress this week, there are ties between the company and the Republicans who have been pushing their leadership to hang tough. As it turns out, Koch Industries' corporate PAC is a big supporter of many of the 20 "dissident" Republican House members who have been identified as the biggest thorns in the side of the Republican leadership on the shutdown and the debt ceiling.
- Who Does Fund the Dissidents?October 4, 2013 4:41 PM
Yesterday we showed that the biggest thorns in the Republican leadership's side weren't getting leadership donations. So who is funding them? Don't look to Wall Street.
- Gingrey's Revolving DoorSeptember 19, 2013 11:22 AM
Republican Rep. Phil Gingrey's comments about congressional staffers' ability to leave Capitol Hill and go "make $500,000 a year" as lobbyists drew the wrong kind of attention to the lawmaker, who is hoping to become a senator next year. He is, of course, partly right: His former chief-of-staff is now a lobbyist for, among others, a health care company that is Gingrey's biggest donor.
- How Much Love Will Leadership PAC Contributions Buy in GOP Presidential Race?December 13, 2011 3:30 PM
Fifty-two sitting members of Congress have endorsed GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts. And according to research by the Center for Responsive Politics, Romney, through his leadership PACs, has donated to 48 of them since the 2004 election cycle.
- Congressmen's Taxpayer-Funded Vehicles Reveal Hodgepodge of Fuel Efficiency, Government TransparencyAugust 24, 2010 5:30 PM
Congressional members' vehicles are hardly created equal when it comes to how much you, as a taxpayer, are subsidizing them. What's equally unequal: How much information members of the U.S. House of Representatives are willing to reveal about the wheels you're providing them.
- Tea Party Caucus Members Bankrolled by Health Professionals, Retirees, Oil InterestsJuly 30, 2010 3:43 PM
A Center for Responsive Politics analysis shows that the biggest contributors to the 49 members of the newly-established congressional Tea Party caucus -- it so far includes only Republican -- are health professionals, retired individuals, the real estate industry and oil and gas interests. Furthermore, donations from health professionals, oil and gas interests and Republican and conservative groups are, on average, higher for Tea Party caucus members than for members of the House of Representatives in general and even their fellow House Republicans.
- Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is OnOctober 16, 2009 5:50 PM
An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
- Insurers On Alert Have Given $4 Million to Committees Grilling ThemSeptember 15, 2009 10:00 AM
A number of lawmakers have requested that insurers disclose their financial records, including details on executive pay and entertainment expenditures. Members of three of the committees to receive this information have also collected millions from these companies for their campaigns.
- Lawyers, Doctors, Give Cash to Sway Tort Reform Elements in Health Care DebateSeptember 8, 2009 5:48 PM
When President Barack Obama gives his much-anticipated speech about health care Wednesday night before a joint session of Congress, he won't likely address medical malpractice reform, much to the chagrin of the country's doctors. Given that health professionals are the second largest contributor this election cycle to candidates and party committees, they might feel slighted by the president's omission.
- The Price Isn't Right: Doctor-Turned-Lawmaker Opposes Public OptionJune 24, 2009 12:49 PM
A former doctor, Rep. Tom Price's top contributors reads like a roster of America's medical groups. Out of the Georgia Republican's 20 all-time leading donors, only five aren't related to the medical field. Follow along as Capital Eye profiles some of the lawmakers who were health professionals in their past lives.
- Lawmakers Controlling Government's Budget File for Extensions on Personal Financial DisclosuresJune 16, 2009 2:18 PM
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.
- Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank RegulationSeptember 23, 2008 11:43 AM
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.

Top Stories
Trinidad and Cape Cobras ready to clash
Relaxed, focused and ready to lay it on the line for Trinidad and Tobago..
This was the way T&T manager Colin Borde described the mood in the camp yesterday as the national team made their final preparations for today's Airtel Champions League Twenty/20 semi-final against South Africa champions Cape Cobras at Hyderabad, India from 10:30 a.m. T&T time.
It will be a difficult task for T&T to overcome the Cobras, but having had such stunning performances in Hyderabad, now dubbed their second home, the team will be going into this match riding on a high wave of confidence following their four-match winning streak.
T&T defeated Australian T/20 champs New South Wales Blues In the Super Eight phase, and then scored a tournament-high 213 runs in defeating South Africa T/20 runners-up Diamond Eagles in a match that had a run-aggregate of 402.
Borde noted: "We are aware that there has been much joy at home and that our performances have delighted many across the globe.
"This has been very rewarding for us all as we hope that this will ignite a dying passion for the game in the region," the manager declared.
Of the team's preparation for the semi-final he said: "We trained today (yesterday) and had a very fruitful and focused session, outlining some of the strategies that can be employed in the semi final."
Borde was also confident that T&T could stick to their task against any opposition.
T&T, the only unbeaten team in the tournament, have overcome all challengers thus far thanks to their teamwork and "never say die" attitude.
But there have also been some individual sparks of brilliance. Those sparks have come from Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo and more recently Adrian Barath and Navin Stewart.
T&T have showed depth thus far. That depth will make it even more difficult now for the selectors to choose a final XI to take the field today.
Barath smashed 63 off 41 balls on his T/20 debut and Stewart came in with a cameo of 33 off 11 in his first game of the tournament.
Bravo has been T&T's leading wicket-taker and one of the leading bowlers in the tournament with ten scalps and he will have another key role to play in the semi-final. However, the West Indies all-rounder has not been consistent with the bat. He is due for a big score.
Pollard on the other hand has managed to sneak into the top ten list of batsmen with a tally of 120 runs and more runs will have to flow from his bat if T&T are to put pressure on the Cobras.
There are unlikely to be any undue nerves in the side. They have been in many crunch situations before. And according to the manager, there is an underlying motivation to succeed.
"Playing for Trinidad and Tobago and the wider region is of paramount importance and we want to bring this trophy back to the region, if only to prove that West Indian cricket is alive and well," Borde declared.
While T&T have the leading wicket-taker in Bravo, their opponents have the third highest run-scorer in Jean Paul Duminy who is 27 runs short of the top aggregate held by New South Wales Blues opener Phillip Hughes who has 200.
The Cobras' venom may even be more potent because of the batting of skipper Andrew Puttick, who has scored the only century in the CLT20 to date--104 against Otago Volts. His presence, and the team's hunger to bounce back after their defeat to Delhi Daredevils in the Super Eight, will definitely make the encounter even more competitive.
Awaiting today's winners will be the Blues who defeated fellow Aussie side Victoria in the first semi-final yesterday.

Brian Schmitz | Orlando Magic BasketBlog
Orlando Sentinel
3:32 PM EDT, September 5, 2013
Our series focusing on the Magic's position battles heading into their Oct. 1 training camp continues.
TODAY: Shooting guard.
Arron Afflalo enters camp as the starter, but even the classy veteran knows the Magic are making a significant commitment to rookie Victor Oladipo's development.
What's funny is that the Magic are so young that Afflalo is perceived as some grizzled graybeard. The fact is, he doesn't turn 28 until Oct. 15. He's in his prime, starting his seventh NBA season.
He just looks out of place on the Baby Magic (as does Jameer Nelson), especially when you factor in his salary ($7.7 million this season), modest by NBA standards, but a potential salary-cap hindrance in a rebuild. He's the second highest-paid player behind Nelson (assuming the club buys out Hedo Turkoglu.)
Afflalo should be viewed accordingly: A dependable scorer and defender who can have the occasional all-star-type outing.
He was a proven commodity the Magic received in the massive Dwight Howard trade last summer. Afflalo arrived from the Denver Nuggets, where the 27th pick in the 2007 draft (by Detroit) made the most strides as a self-made player.
Afflalo averaged 16.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game for the Magic, although he missed 18 games.
With so much youth and inexperience, shots were available for Afflalo, and he attempted 14.1 per game, a career high. He shot just under 44 percent, but struggled mightily from the three-point line, going 72-of-240 (30 percent).
He had his moments: dazzling 30-point gems in wins in his hometown of L.A., against the Lakers and Clippers; a 28-point night in a close loss to the defending champion Heat; and a 29-point effort against the New York Knicks.
Afflalo has the job, considering all that's behind him now (especially since the trade of J.J. Redick) are youthful trainees.
The Magic drafted Oladipo No. 2 out of Indiana University, where he was primarily a shooting guard. The club experimented with him at point guard during summer-league games.
Chances are the Magic will play him at both the 1 and the 2, backing up Nelson and Afflalo, respectively.
Wherever he plays, Oladipo will likely give Afflalo and Nelson fits defensively in camp and practice. He struggled with his ball-handling in summer-league at the point and shot just 39 percent, but he got to the rim at will, shooting 10 free throws a game.
If Oladipo spends time learning to play the point, the Magic can use E'Twaun Moore or Doron Lamb at 2 while Afflalo is on the bench. If not, an Afflalo-Oladipo tag-team should make Orlando stronger defensively on the perimeter.

World AIDS Day is observed every year on Dec. 1. This worldwide effort is designed to encourage public support; to prevent the spread of HIV infection; provide awareness and education about HIV and AIDS; and demonstrate compassion for those infected or affected by HIV.
While the Federal government's investment in treatment and research is helping people with HIV and AIDS live longer and more productive lives, HIV continues to spread at a staggering national rate. The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates nationally there were 48,100 new HIV infections. The Iowa Department of Public Health estimated that there are a total of 2,276 individuals living with HIV and AIDS in the state. These numbers only represent a portion of the epidemic - those cases that have been both confirmed through testing and reported. In Northeast Iowa, more than 85 clients are served annually by the Cedar AIDS Support System providing medical case management to those living with HIV and AIDS.
On Dec. 1 Worlds AIDS Day will be observed at the Crossroads Center in Waterloo with educational activities and events from 1 to 3 p.m. Plan to attend this important event, because education leads to compassion.

mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
Main message board: for the discussion of topical track & field items only.
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
agree cain is not the top female miler in america
just happens to have the fastesttime
if the big girls had shown up to run, either would have beaten cain
but they have bigger fish to fry
leaving cain the national champion in the mile
in a race that counted i'b bet on rowbury when she races against an american
but in moscow, aregawi or g dibaba would be my choices
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
Ebonie Floyd won the Women's 400 meters "A" race in 52.02!!
Mary Cain won the Women's 400 meters "B" race in 58.6!!
And now, for the Women's ONE MILE results......
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
We shall see.
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
look at the numbers
final half in 2:10
only 10 hs have run sub 2:10
and with the 58 final 400, only 100 hs have run that fast
cain isn't world class miler yet, but she's close enough for me
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
What do you define as "one of the best"? top 3, top 5, top 10? She is already mixing it up with some notable runners and winning. She is a national champion at age 16, though the field did not include many notables. But the truth is, that Uceny, Simpson, Rowbury, all would struggle to run a 58+ last 400 under the same conditions in altitude, if they could do it at all. So while she has yet to prove she can hang with the best at a fast pace, she clearly served notice she is going to have to be reckoned with in a tactical race, and that alone makes her "one of the best" in my opinion. I think you would be hard pressed to find 5 or 6 U.S. women who could beat her under any conditions, so, lets just say she is top 10. Would that be "one of the best"?
The sky is the limit for her. Come the outdoor season it will be fun to watch her mix it up with the best.

Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
4:28 is quite a time to discount
her 4"11 was23rd rated time before salazar got involved
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
Here's my DREAM of a perfect OUTdoor season for Mary:
Mt SAC: In her first outdoor race of 2013, she runs 15:28.62 for 5000 meters, shattering Emily Sisson's 15:48.91 for a new HSR. She finishes 2nd behind Shannon Rowbury's 15:23.50, despite running her final 400 in 60.45!!
Penn: In her return to the HS Girl's one mile, Cain runs her last lap in 57.23 for a final time of 4:33.58, easily beating Erin Finn, who runs 4:38.10.
Stanford Cardinal: In a special Women's two mile race, she runs 9:18.98 for two miles, timed enroute at 3000 meters in 8:46.15, shattering two HSR's....finally removing Lynn Bjorklund's venerable 9:08.6 from 1975 from the books!! Cain wins this race, as the top 1500 women run the mile.
Prefontaine: She runs the one mile in 4:24.00, passing 1500 meters in 4:07.83, for two more HSR's. But she finishes only 3rd behind Morgan Uceny's 4:22.01 and Jenny Simpson's 4:22.36.
USATF (WC Trials): Cain makes the WC team, finishing 2nd in 4:07.89 over 1500 meters. Morgan Uceny wins it in 4:07.11, with CWT second in 4:07.34.
World Youth: Cain runs 1:59.93 for 800 meters, breaking Kim Gallagher's HSR friom 1982!!
She wins the race, second place being 2:00.26.
WC: Cain makes it to the final, running her semi in 4:08.55, in what is described as a "tactical" race. She runs her final 400 in 57.04, her last 200 in 27.23!! She finishes 7th in the final, running 4:05.02 for another HSR!!
Aaaaah, sweet dreams!!!

i think world youth is the primary event for cain outdoor
isn't cain taking a break now going on vacation, if rupp and fatrah deserved a break so has mary cain
i know the hs coach who is in charge of the girlsmile and 3k, which are on thursday
there is an open womens mileonsatruday, which might beselected over the hs events
may 25 diamond league meet ny does have a mile
i see cain squeezing in 800 in prep for ukraine to sharpen her speed
those 200 and 400 final laps are a bit fast
i think salazar showed yesterday, winning counts more than fast times
i think womens 1500 team for moscow will be uceny rowbury pierce, doesnt simpson get the auto for winning in daegu
ukraine trials in illionoise june 25,26
moscow trails in desmoines june 20-23
i think des moines is bad to do before world youth trials
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
Like I said "we shall see". People are already anointing her as "the queen". The moment Cain struggles or starts having injuries people will turn on her. Just like Alan Webb. Remember him? He was supposed to break world records and win WC/Olympic titles. It didn't work out that way, did it? I'll wait until Cain actually beat America's best lady 1500m runners outdoors when it counts before I join the bandwagon. I do hope Cain does well those outdoor season.
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
Mary Cain, women's mile champion: "I wouldn't do it if it wasn't fun. We were hanging out at dinner and having a lot of good laughs, and I just love it"
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
I am really enjoying the rise of this talented young runner. (Ditto for Ajee Wilson, by the way.) Of course, as soon as Cain doesn't live up to someone's expectations, for whatever reason, someone -- some people -- will turn on her. I don't read Letsrun, but I'm sure someone there already has turned on her. You don't really have to "fail," as such -- all you have to do is not meet someone's expectations. I would think every athlete, even in a small niche sport like T&F, needs to be able to deal with this. As soon as Galen Rupp earned a silver medal in London, there were those who immediately pointed out how he failed to win gold, etc. I can think of so many other examples. Cain gives the impression of someone who can handle this sort of bs. But who knows? We will see...maybe in 20 years she'll be getting ready for one more go at the WC. After all, she'll only be 36yo. I hope to be around for that.
And while she does give every indication of having the talent to be the USA's best, or among the best, at this distance, I would expect such development to take some time. Salazar does not give any indication as a coach that he is inclined to rush anything. And, at this point Cain is officially a 4:11 1500m runner. I do think she can go faster this year, but there is a lot of distance between being "around 4:10" and "around 4:00."
I am equally impressed, at least, with Ajee Wilson. Let's remind ourselves of her resume in national and international championship meets...
2009 AAU JO 1st
2010 USATF Jr 1st
2011 USA World Youth Trials 1st
2012 USATF/OT semifinal
2012 USATF Jr 1st
2013 USATF Indoor 1st
2010 WJC 5th
2011 WYC gold
2012 WJC gold
While some of these did not have deep competition, each was a 2-round or 3-round championship. Wilson is demonstrating in her own way some real racing sense that is required for success in this event. And while it may seem premature to compare Wilson with the great Kim Gallagher, her place next to Gallagher on the a-t prep list invites the comparison, and at this point her development isn't far off where Gallagher was at a comparable age. Gallagher was about one month past her 18th birthday when she ran her 2:00.07. Wilson was about 2 months past her 18th birthday when she ran her 2:00.91 at the WJC. But -- there is also a lot of distance between being a 2:00-2:02 runner and a 1:58 or faster runner. I think she will get there, but that improvement is likely to be harder than anything she's done so far.
I hope both Cain and Wilson continue to develop along the path of their success so far!
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
I can see wanting to take a reserved position in praising Ms. Cain however her 4:28 puts her at something likely at or under 4:09 indoors. While improvement may not be linear and assuming good health I'd have to think that she's going to run 4:06 or so this year and that might be conservative. She's also shown the ability to race which is refreshing.
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
Cain jumped the gun using both a rolling start and having a reaction time of 0.00 seconds. If the third 400 had gone as slowly as the first two, then the efforts prior to that last 400 would not have taken much out of her and so a 400 time might almost be expected. Note that some of the distance stars can race faster than Mary can for for 3000m for a full 9000m and then close as fast as she did here without having 1200m at 82/400 right before.
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
Dutra -- I completely agree with you. I also feel that she's at a sub-4:10 level now, even though her official times at that distance are 4:11, and thus I would not be surprised to see her get to the 4:06-ish this year. I especially agree w you regarding her race sense. (And I feel that your assessment is itself properly "reserved" in comparison with some that I've heard/read. I was simply trying not to overstate things, but certainly don't want to diminish what's obvious -- she's having a great year so far, and has great potential.)
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
lloking at cain mile best in 2012 4:39 and in 2013 so far 4:28
suspect she can go faster outdoor based on doing better 800 speed work
her 2011 1500 went from 4:17 to 4:11 in 2012
and 2013 she's 4:11 already
i think 4:08 can be inher future outdoors, based on the quality of race she gets into
if she runs with rowbury, uceny, simpson with rabitts the 4:06 mentioned is possible
her 800 time in 2011 was 2:06 and 2013 was 2:03
the finish sunday promises she can lower her 800
i'd focus cain on world youth injuly
then in 2014 the world juniors
racing with grown women i'd focus on 2015 and bejing, 2 years from now
i think that's morer realistic, visitingwhat she can do with 2 more years of maturation
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
Hey 26mi235 !! Do you ever have anything positive to say about anybody? Why is it that you always feel you must find a way to minimise the wonderful achievements of an athlete, this time the amazing young Mary Cain? Why can't you just for once bask in the glory of her great performances rather than try to convince us that she is not really that good.
She is good mate. She is really good.
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
so if you run 9:04 pace for 9k, thats 27:15 and given the wr for 10k is 29:31 running 27:15 with a faster kick is sub 28:15, a wr by more than a full minute the logic above does not apply, cain 3k time is too fast
he cant admit cain is really good, treat her as a 16 year old
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
some want to use zola budd as the model for mary cain
ok, fine, use the 1500, at age 17 budd ran 4:06.87 Bloemfontein 28 OCT
at age 16 mary cain ran 4:11.01 so cain needs slightly over 4 second improvement which is possible given 2011 to 2012 was 4:17 to 4:11, over a 6 second inprovement
and 2012 miletime was 4:39 and 2013 is 4:28, 11 seconds i think 4 seconds can happen
best youth time of 2012 was 4:06.06 of teferi
while jessica judd did 4:09.93 5th in barcelona one spot ahead of cain
i lloked at all world youth and the chinese from the 1990dominate
zola budd is 9th
glenda reiser is 7th from munich olympics
mary cain is 33rd alltime at age 16
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
Uhl's mommy would agree with this photo from the front-page gallery . . .

Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
Cain is great; I just point out the other side of the comparison (we all know it was run at the end of the race and is very impressive and very 'valuable' in the broader scheme), so the RT/moving at the start is useful to keep in mind when looking at the last quarter of the race.
Re: mary cain at indoor nationals in NM
Besides which, it was a joke, I say, it was a joke, son!

I've been trying for days to get this going.
I've never had so much learning crammed in at one time!! Brain fry!
My current problem is after install and reboot, with -v flag it stalls at Login Window app started,
I'm using the Uphuck 10.4.9 v1.3 universal DVD. I have tried with both the AMD sse3 kernel and am now using the universal kernel to achieve the same results!
I'm running a MSI K9AGM2 and a AMD 64x2 6000+, Ati Radeon 1200 512mb, ATI SB600 Chipset. 2Gb Ram.
I've established that I need to use cpus=2 to start anything. I've also tried installing the LoginWindow patch to no avail (from memory this just gave me the same prob, only tried on the AMD sse3 kernel.) ACPI Platform is installed (without this she encounters another prob starting the cpu).
I'm thinking maybe it's graphic related? I can't seem to find much info by searching (the search continues). I've installed the ATI 1x00 Driver. But I'm about to try some others now.
My hardware should be compatible so I can only imagine it's a setup/install drama.
Hoping someone(s) may help with any suggestions... I'm a lot more windows coherent than osx but I'm charging on so I can change this!
Problems are temporary, Solutions last forever.

West Aurora officials: District will expand safety plan
By Matt Brennan For the Beacon-News September 18, 2012 10:02AM
Retired Dade County detective John Wilson admonishes the District 129 school board for its recent approval of hiring a legal defense team during a school board meeting at West Aurora High School on Monday, September 17, 2012. | Jeff Cagle~For Sun-Times Media

Updated: September 18, 2012 10:20AM
Mutual Ground's staff members currently work to educate West Aurora District 129 grade school and middle school students on the dangers of sexual abuse and sexual harassment.
The domestic abuse shelter's executive director spoke with the Board of Education on Monday about expanding those efforts to increase the number of grade school students, and work with West Aurora High School as well.
"This is an ongoing process," West Aurora Superintendent James Rydland said. "What we want to make sure is that we have a clearly delineated line of work."
Mutual Ground Executive Director Michelle Meyer said they talk with other high school and grade school students in the southern Kane and Kendall county territory that they service, Meyer said. Board members wanted to find out what the logistics would be like for expanding the organization's services within the district.
The conversation came as part of the school board's discussion on a safety action plan. The plan details more than 30 items designed to make the district safer for students. The items vary from the distribution of the school's sexual abuse policy to all employees annually, to developing and distributing stop abuse posters. Some of the items are currently implemented, some are in the process of being implemented, and some are in planning, board members said.
The school safety plan is being discussed after talk of former band director Steve Orland has resurfaced within the district. Last month, former janitor Leon Smith reached out to the Beacon-News regarding an incident he witnessed in 2010, between Orland and a student in the band storage room.
Smith met with school officials, who declined to report the matter to DCFS based on the advice of legal council. DCFS later issued a statement saying that the district should have reported the incident based on suspicion, allowing the agency to investigate. The case is currently under investigation by the Kane County State's Attorney.
These recent developments have stirred a reaction from some parents and West Aurora citizens. One West Aurora citizen asked for Rydland's resignation during the public comments section of the meeting. Another spoke about abuse allegations, and a cover up that involved her children. The board does not respond to public comments that are not on their agenda, based on policy. Instead they discussed ways to make the district safer.
They discussed several ideas off the safety action plan on Monday, including placing advertisements on the buses with a number that can be called for students to report abuse.
They are also talking about adding a scanning system at all the grade schools and middle schools that will scan a guest's driver's license, and report back if they are a sex offender.
That system is already in place at the high school. Board member Angie Smith had questions about the logistics of this type of system being in place at the grade schools and middle schools.
She wanted to know what happens when the name turns up positive as a sex offender, and if the authorities were then notified. She also wanted to make sure secretaries were trained to handle that type of situation.
"I could see a secretary having to deal with a big gentleman who's unhappy," she said.

Lounges >Rudy's Hideaway
12303 Folsom Blvd, Rancho Cordova, CA | Directions 9574238.628733 -121.217429
Sat: 11am-10:30pm, 11am-4pm, Sun: 4pm-9pm, Mon-Thu: 11am-9pm, 3pm-6pm, Fri: 11am-10:30pm, 3pm-6pm
Good food, great service – I'm not sure what the last reviewers ate, but I disagree on a few points with them. Let's start with the lobster, since that seems to be what Rudy's is known for. I've eaten lobster at various locales in the western hemisphere and Rudy's is very good, not the best, but very good. The back "skin" of a lobster, when cooked was, as always, a bit leathery, but the flavor was not bland or boring. The servings were ALL normally sized, starting with the chowder (a unique flavor, not too creamy), to the pasta which followed, right down to the baked potato. All equally good. As for the meat sauce on the pasta, well, it was a very good, authentic meat sauce, served in the Italian style as being a condiment complimenting the pasta rather than overwhelming it. My waiter was very attentive to service, not rushing me through the meal but allowing me a leisurely, relaxing pace to relish the denizen of the deep I chose for dinner. As to cost, I'm not sure what backwater area of the country one of the previous reviewers was from that they expect to get two, three course seafood dinners, one childrens meal, two glasses of wine and one cocktail for under a hundred bucks, but I've travelled over a lot of these United States and more than a few places in Mexico and abroad and that hasn't been my experience. Just the two dinners I would expect to pay about eighty USD, add in the alcohol and kids meal and you would easily be over $100.00. All in all I would choose this establishment again if I were in town and have NO reservations in recommending it to others, including family and friends.
Gone downhill – My husband and I ate here a few years ago and enjoyed our meal. The service and food was good and so were the portions. We were in the area last weekend and took our Son to Rudy's for his Birthday. What a mistake!!!
O.K. The service was good, but the portions were small and the food LOUSY!!! How do you screw up Filet mignon? Put a nasty brown sauce on it. The lobster was chewy and lacked flavor. The steak was over cooked. The crab on my salad was made with canned crab and was mixed with mayo. What a stretch.... Pasta was included with our entree and the sauce was ( I'm not kidding) like canned chili with out beans, only worse. Over priced so don't waste your money.
The BEST - STILL – Just had the best time out in a very long time. Rudy's has been a landmark for as long as I can remember. It was my parent's favorite hangout. The food and the service was outstanding!! Artichoke rocked! Clam chowder is the best I have ever had. I had the lobster -YUM! and hubby had the prime rib, both were fabulous. Hot tip: BANANA CREME PIE- oh, my gosh. I am so stuffed. The entire staff is friendly and fun. I highly recommend Rudy's. Can't wait to get back.
Good service, Nice atmosphere, Lousy food, Child friendly – Our first time at Rudy's will be our last. We had heard about the place for years, so wanting lobster, we decided to try it. The steaks were ok, not great, but you can add on mushrooms and onions for additional cost. The lobster was tough and chewy to the point that I couldn't even cut through it and had to send it back. It's replacement was slightly better but overly salted. The lobster ravioli had bits of shells in it. The escargot were overly dry. Even the clam chowder was the worst I've had in a while- lukewarm, overly creamy with hardly any chunks in it. We both took two bites and passed. The best part of the meal was the frech fries that came with the kids meal (very BK, and almost as good). We had great service and no wait. We went at 6:30 tonight (Wednesday).They were able to accomodate large parties quickly. I enjoyed the new decor and great art on the walls (enamel on steel pieces), the atmosphere could even be romantic. Overall, not worth the money for the below average food. A cheeseburger kids meal, Steak and Lobster dinner, and lobster ravioli with 1 cocktail and an appetizer was over $100. The plain burger and fries was the only thing I didn't consider sending back. Oh- for those with kids: The lobster tank does get emptier overnight, so you may not want to sit by it.
Just Average – I have always heard that 'Rudy's is the best' so finally decided to try it out. My husband took me a couple of weeks ago and I must say, average at best. I had the steak and lobster. Steak was very good but the lobster was tough and chewy. I guess they just remodeled and I think they chose a poor color. I felt I was in a fancy coffee shop rather than a fine steak house. The pros were: Blue cheese salad dressing was very good, the sauce on the pasta (served between the salad and your main entree) was excellent, steak was good. If the lobster would have been better and the price for two dinners, two glasses of wine and 2 cocktails had not been over well over $100, I would return.
Terrific food and service! – I tried this restaurant because it had high ratings and I must agree... it's a great restaurant. Last night, I was greeted with a smile by the hostess and immediately seated. The waiter, Jeff, had a very warm and charming personality and knew the menu and details of the dishes very well. He had 6 or 7 tables to wait on but was timely and equally attentive to us all. I wanted something light to eat and he recommended the crab-stuffed salmon with rice pilaf. It was simply delicious! The atmosphere was nice the music wasn't too loud, so you could hear the other person who was with you or hear your own thoughts if you were alone. I will definitely come back to this restaurant when in town again and highly recommend it to others.
An institution – to say the least. Have been there several times over the years for special occasions. Lobster rules but their prime rib and steaks are good also. I like the atmosphere but my wife was'nt all that crazy about it. I think it's a great place and hope it outlives me.
A seafood institution specializing in lobster and generously portioned surf-and-turf meals. – The Scene
Visiting this Sacramento institution feels like going back in time. Compact black-vinyl booths dominate the dining areas and nautical art and mirrors neatly accent the white walls. There's a friendly ambience to the place, from the attentive waiters to the chummy locals that sit at the cherry-wood bar while catching sports on TV.
The Food
Meals are heavy on quantity: All entrees include French rolls, soup or salad and a second course of pasta with meat sauce. The biggest draw is the seafood. The lobster tail is an elegant complement to the tender, juicy charbroiled New York steak. Alaskan king crab legs are split and thus easier to drizzle with lemon and dip in hot melted butter. If the lobster tail isn't to your liking, accommodating servers will offer to replace it.
Was Wonderful!!! – My husband and I had an excellent evening there. The people were very attentive, yet unobtrusive. The food was wonderful; they have the best clam chowder I think I've ever had!! The sauce on their pasta... Mmm... and the lobster was most excellent!! And well worth the asking price. I would definately recommend this restaurant to anyone thinking about it.

Fake Checkpoint Makes Fake Sense
Sometimes you gotta wonder. I mean, really. You gotta wonder.
Vote YES on the County ReferendumI've written this post a number of times, and keep having problems posting it for some reason. It's been deleted twice by accident. Determined as I am to get the message out, I'll keep it brief. I was concerned about the property tax referendum and so I contacted my County Supervisor, Theodore Lipscomb, of the 1st District, who spent some time informing be about the issues. Here is a some of what I learned: •The Milwaukee County Parks System has deferred nearly $300 million in maintenance costs, and expects greater service cuts in 2009. •MCTS is in even worse condition, heading for a deficit of almost $18 million in the next two years. •In other communities, bus systems have been doing extremely well in the face of higher gas prices. Milwaukee should doing more to promote ridership and take advantage of these tough economic times. •Letting the MCTS fail is not an option. Thousands of people rely on the bus system to get to jobs, schools, and medical services. If the bus system fails, there are no alternatives for these people, and our local economy would suffer greatly. •The county can begin to address these problems by increasing the sales tax for roughly one penny on the dollar. In turn, about 25% of the county's portion of your property tax bill will be reduced. Dedicated funding for these services will be established. And the best part is, Milwaukee County residents will foot a smaller portion of these taxes. They would pay only 60% of the new sales tax. A lot of the information that has been compiled is readily available online, or can be reviewed at jsonline.com. Clearly, there are a number of considerations, and I am not sure that a sales tax is the best way to address these problems. However, the referendum is advisory, and a strong yes vote would send a clear message that Milwaukee County residents care about their parks and care about their transportation services. Perhaps its time to try something new. Especially if its for such important purposes. Vote yes.
"Why should we subsidize intellectual curiosity?" -Ronald Reagan
Imagine an educated person voting for someone who would state something so ignorant. But we did. And re-elected him President of the U.S.
How Quickly can We Raise Taxes?
I don't know whether I am amazed or dismayed by the election results. Not talking about the presidential race of course, that was not a surprise. However, some of the other results are going to have far reaching and possibly your reversible effects. This of course involves raising taxes.
I find it hard to believe that a referendum would pass that involves $130 million of new taxes being imposed on citizens and as an alternative only offering $67 million of tax relief. The only good explanation for this would be how the tax-and-spend liberals were to just out to confuse people who did not read and understand the proposal. Instead they offered misleading statements like property taxes are going to be reduced. Nothing could be further from the truth. There are also reports from people who claim to be sane yet are trying to tell me that the parks in Milwaukee County are being used by people from out of state. I have gone past many parks in the Milwaukee County system yet I have not seen an overrun of out-of-state plates and people from outside the county who are sucking all of the park's services and not paying property taxes. However the solution to this is to increase the sales tax in these out-of-state parks users will be making up the difference and more by buying all of our goods and services being offered by businesses adjacent to the County Parks. I'd like to see the math to support this. Why are out-of-state people suddenly going to buy goods and services now that the sales tax is increased? Are the parks going to get that much better that quickly?
Huh. What should I do now? Huh.It was weirdly anticlimactic for me yesterday. Virtually assured of an Obama victory in advance, after two years of campaigning, blood boiling, and all sort of What do I do now? Huh.
I write this a few moments after watching President-Elect Barack Obama's first news conference. Folks, we have a very special man here. As he did all through his campaign for president, he was on-target, comfortable, intelligent, and the man exudes a presidential aura. As I reflect back over the last 60 years, I realize how limited, and in some cases inept, have been our presidents. The possible exception was John F. Kennedy. There was great hope with JFK, let us hope that nothing that terrible befalls our current president-elect.
Yes, we all know there are kooks on the right and on the left. But the dangers surrounding the first elected African American president are tremendous. And make no mistake about it, there are people in important roles in our society, people from the extreme right-wing, for example, who absolutely cannot accept such a president.
WKTI Becomes WKT WHY?You know, I was really getting nervous. Nervous in a reckless leg syndrome kind of a way. Ever since casting my vote on Tuesday. First, the excitement dwindled. Then the news feeds slowed. Suddenly, it was no longer an election cycle. I didn't have anything to do. What was left for me to comment on? Had I become so involved with matters of local and national politics that I had left myself with nothing relevant to say anymore? I fiddled with a few ideas, worried that my keen insight for the absurd had somehow waned in the face of freebies like Sarah Palin. Sigh. Thank goodness for Journal Broadcasting. Brazenly biting the hand that feeds me (or at least the hand that lets me post online), the newest nut to roast has to be WKTI. Or WLWK. Or whatever. Don't get me wrong. It's not like I really listed to anything but NPR for the last decade anyhow. It's just that some things are an American institution. Somewhere in my parents' basement I still have a few of those old WKTI Tail Gator pins. Those were hot. And though every song on the network sounded exactly the same to me, there's still something incredibly insane about abandoning WKTI. And I'm not talking about the music format. I'm talking about the call letters. Call letters are a very significant part of marketing. And so are nicknames. But who the heck came up with "WLWK?" I mean, it's one thing to call a station by new letters. It's another thing to totally ditch iconic station call letters. WZTR 95.7 famously changed it's name when new owners bought it out. Ditching "Star 95", it also ditched some of the coolest letters on the dial. Now it's WRIT. Just boring. WQFM 93.3 became WJZI for jazz. The QFM thing is personal for me, cause my first law office was in QFM's building on 6th and Wisconsin. They had the top floor. Way cool suite. Would you believe there are actually websites devoted to Milwaukee's past stations? One bemoans not just the loss of QFM, but of WLPX.
As we hopefully enter a new age, a new perspective, and new values in the United States, it will not be easy to get past our burdens of right-wing greed, bigotry, lack of altruism, parochial thoughts of America being better than any nation, ignorance of history, self-centered foreign relations, seeing war as a way to settle everything, equating wealth with intelligence, being afraid to challenge ourselves historically or currently, ad infinitum. Here are some past demons we must exorcise:
"It is time to turn from quarrels and to build our White ramparts again. The alliance with foreign races means nothing but death for us." -Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. [yes, THAT Charles Lindbergh, who also saw Hitler as a hero]
No hablo Espanol, pero....
Ole, El presidente Obama!
Another group that influenced the latest presidential election: Hispanics. Get used to it. And get over the terrible anti-immigrant psychosis that has gripped America. How quickly we forget how past immigrants held onto their European languages and customs for not one, but several generations. In fact, laws had to be passed in some areas so that second and third generation German-Americans and others would finally allow students to have textbooks printed in English. Current immigrants are making a genuine effort to learn English in their first-generation arrival in the U.S. Along with the bigotry suffered by African Americans who were brought here as slaves by Anglos, the Hispanic immigrants have had to suffer through untold bigotry on their own.
GUANTANOMO- close the damn thing down, and prosecute those who need prosecuting in the U.S. Make a clear, outright statement that there will be no torture during an Obama presidency.
IRAQ- get out as soon as possible. This mess will be a long-time settling. Iraq never was a cohesive nation; it was glued together by European colonialism. The Shiites, Sunni, and Kurds problems will continue to fester for decades, and the fate of that "nation" will probably evolve under another strongman who will assume absolute control, or it will become three entities. There is now enough money and resources for the Baghdad government to be independent of the U.S. presence, or evolve into what the people in Iraq want. We have created a monster in Iraq. Neocon stupidity.
Poll Results Come at Right Time
Just when I thought that these so-called advisory referendum for the countywide sales tax was based on people not understanding the question because it was written in a way that was set to produce a predetermined result, a new poll comes out which is even more slanted and producing even more misdirected results for the casual observer. And of course this poll was taken to days after this "advisory"referendum was voted on. From Monday's Journal Sentinel:
"If you knew that the majority of metro areas in the United States fund transit by sales tax and that a portion of southeastern Wisconsin's sales tax is paid by visitors from outside the region, which of the following would you prefer be the primary source of funding for public transit services in Southeast Wisconsin: Sales taxes, paid on all non-essential consumer purchases; payroll taxes, paid by all who work in the region; property taxes, paid only by property owners; or vehicle registration fees, paid by vehicle owners?" (47% picked sales taxes, far more than any other option.)
- "Some people have suggested expanding public transit in Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha counties. If you knew that transit was seen as a top priority for the economic future of our region by top business and economic development leaders, would you strongly support, somewhat support, somewhat oppose or strongly oppose expanding public transit in this region?" (78% voiced some degree of support.)
Boy, these results will really clear things up for us. It seems like everyone wants higher taxes just to produce more public transportation that will be going largely unused. What could be a better deal? Voting for a $130 million tax increase while only seeking $67 million in tax relief? 30 years ago, Gov. Lee Dreyfus had a surplus in the Wisconsin budget and gave it back to the people, the taxpayers of Wisconsin. Now, of course, there is no surplus in the Wisconsin budget. Reports of a $5 billion deficit are a whole other story. But if we replace a tax levy of $67 million with a tax levy of $130 million, even though these will be differently collected, there is still a lot of money that is not being accounted for at present. Apparently Lee Holloway and the Milwaukee County government board just want to have a field day and spend our money any way they wish. Doing it under the guise of helping the poor get to work. It would be a noble effort if it was not such a fantastic lie.
No matter how the Obama presidency plays out, the Karl Rove-type critics are waiting for his first slip. And if a slip does not occur quickly enough, they are loaded for bear to create their own interpretations on everything, and to hell! with real events or history. The anti-intellectual right-wing, now whimpering like spoiled brats, will continue on endlessly. Here is how they "see" what is playing out...
George W. Bush, though sinking around 26-28% approval ratings, is still beloved by the right-wing and is only being criticized by liberals. A-hem.

The Wrong No One Will Right
Kudos to Dan Bice for his continuing coverage of who is getting huge payouts in exchange for retiring from County service. He is a true watch dog. However, like all watchdogs, a little noise is made. The bite will have no teeth. And after a while, the noise will subside and all will be forgotten. All will be forgiven. And that's too bad.
It has been over seven years since the then Milwaukee County Board made it legal for retirees to collect on huge payouts upon retirement. Unlike the private sector, no monetary investment is made, yet a huge payout is given in return. And taxpayers are expected to foot the bill. Then, to an insult to injury, a current Board of Supervisors is trying to raise taxes in order to provide services of which cannot be paid for because the commitment has been made to make these huge retirement bonus payouts. This is an absolute rape of the taxpayer. And nothing gets done about it. And nothing will get done about it.
"Cross burnings. Children on a school bus in Idaho reportedly chanting 'Assasinate Obama.' Black figures hung from nooses. Racial ephithets scrawled on homes and cars. Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America."
William Ferris of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill commented: "It's shaking the foundations on which the country has existed for centuries. Someone once said racism is like cancer. It's never totally wiped out; its' in remission." -above from Associated Press reports in Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Nov. 16, 2008, page 8A
Let us hope that President-elect Obama is good to his pledge to change things in Washington. Congress and all facets of the federal government need a complete cleansing. Old patterns of cronyism and corporate pay-offs must end. But by far the biggest immediate need is to get the stink out of the White House. Left behind by George W. Bush and his administration are horrendous secrets, pay-offs, favoritism, military misadventures, snooping on private citizens, billions upon billions of hidden waste in Iraq and elsewhere, ad infinitum. The Free World awaits your action in this regard.
This cannot stand uninvestigated. To be put in place immediately should be inspectors general who can get at all the fascist-like government secrets used by the Bush administration for unsavory means. Two places to begin with I.G. action would be in the Pentagon and related agencies that squandered literally scores of billions of dollars in Iraq and elsewhere with no resultant benefit, and the Justice Department where the Constitution has been shredded.
The Automobile Industry of the Future
It seems like only a few years ago when the Green Bay Packers would be playing several games on Monday night football. When that would happen, there would be a large amount of absenteeism at the Janesville GM plant. The managers at the plant would go on to remedy this situation by adding a bunch of TVs. How many trucks would get produce that many? I don't know, but apparently the employees had a good time watching football during a day at work. This coming Monday night may be one of the last for the Janesville GM employees to enjoy a night of hard labor and football simultaneously.
This scenario alone did not create the circumstances for closing a plant in Janesville, but it may have contributed at least in a small way. For many years, Janesville has been a proud producer of large GM gas guzzling vehicles. For years, the Janesville plant has also been demonized for producing large GM gas guzzling vehicles. However, this one plant is certainly not the only culprit for what is wrong with the automobile industry today.
Happy Turkey Day!
Well, my favorite time of the year is barely days upon us. A day of unconditional, unrestricted, unrepetent gorging. Eat. Sleep. Watch TV. Man oh man, that's the kind of holiday I'm talking about.
Thanksgiving is a truly American holiday, and ranks up there for me. For me, in ways, it's more patriotic than the 4th of July. It gives us a time to be with family and reflect upon what it is that our country has to offer, and how it is that we all came to be a part of this great nation---whether our families arrived here recently or centuries ago.
Lowering Expectations
As January 20 approaches, it will slowly be revealed to us whether we are able to collect on the promises that were repeated for the last year in this long presidential campaign or if we have to grant a pass saying it was election year rhetoric, that was all. Comprehensively, Americans were promised change. And now, as Barack Obama begins to put his administration together, we were led to believe by the Obama campaign that we could just sit back and watch the miracles happen. If anything was questioned, the Liberals would fire back calling the questioners bigots. Any dissension would be un-American.
Now we are finding out what change actually means; changes bringing back people from the Clinton administration. Change also means bringing back Jimmy Carter's advisors -- the ones who haven't entered their drooling years. Change means keeping the defense secretary from the Bush administration who for over a year was being lambasted as failed policies and wrong on the war in Iraq. It seemed to me that he would be the first to go if the war in Iraq was one of the major issues. Also, one of the first things he would do as president, Obama would issue an executive order reducing the amount of oil that would be drilled off the shores of the United States. This is also in contrast to the position he campaigned on when he issued that he would be open to such exploration to assure energy independence in America. Without the sterling, the United States would continue to send huge amounts of money to the mid Eastern countries for oil. Gee, Wally, I hope Obama wasn't saying anything just to get elected.

Mars Curiosity has landed, but the battle for JPL's budget is just taking off
Pool/Getty Images
Don't get too excited. Mars Curiosity has been a big success, but there might not be much money for missions in the future.
We successfully landed a one-ton nuclear-powered robot car on a planet over 300 million miles away, using a rocket skycrane. Now Mars Curiosity has, in just a few weeks, beamed panoramic pictures of its new red world back to Earth, zapped a rock with a laser, wiggled its wheels as a precursor to its first spin on the Martian surface, and then gone for a plutonium-powered drive.
Everything is going great!
Except that back home, it isn't. They were high-fiving in their powder-blue polo shirts at Jet Propulsion Lab mission control in Pasadena, when Curiosity signaled that it had not become a $2.5-billion flame out or a smoldering hole in Gale Crater. But the future of "planetary science," with a focus on Mars, is in doubt, as science takes a back seat in NASA's budget.
Will public opinion infuence NASA's budget?

The Apple Store was down - and not in a good wayAugust 17, 2011: 9:51 AM ET
For reasons unclear, the online store was not responding Wednesday morning
[UPDATE: As of 11:10 a.m. EST the store seems to be functioning properly. No new products that I can see. Never did get an explanation from Apple PR.]
[UPDATE 2: As of noon EST, the site seems to be misbehaving again. Still no word out of Apple.]
[UPDATE 3: Reader Mehdi Daoudi of Catchpoint Systems reports that the site had fully recovered by 1:40 p.m. Meanwhile, he has quantified the scale of Apple's Wednesday morning problem with some scary looking charts, one of which we've copied below. Still no explanation from Apple PR.]
[UPDATE 4: MacRumors notes that Apple has added a social dimension to its online store -- allowing users who are so inclined to alert their Twitter and Facebook followers that they have purchased, say, an iPod or a Mac Pro. It's not clear how this could be related to the Wednesday's outages.]
The Apple Store often goes down in a good way -- with the classic yellow Post-it note that signals the imminent arrival of a new product or service.
It went down Wednesday morning in a bad way, failing to respond to requests from its own Web browser and triggering instead an error message telling would-be visitors that "the server where this page is located isn't responding."
Trouble at the North Carolina server farm? A denial of service attack by hacker or hackers unknown?
We've asked Apple (AAPL) PR what's going on. Will update if we get an explanation.
