William Joseph "Joe" Walsh (born December 27, 1961) is an American politician. He served in the United States House of Representatives for Illinois' 8th congressional district.[2][5][6] He served in Congress from January 2011 through January 2013 after defeating three-term incumbent Democrat Melissa Bean by a margin of 291 votes in a surprising upset.[7] He received little Republican Party support for his bid against Bean, but was popular with the Tea Party movement.[8][9] Previously, Walsh ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1996 and for the Illinois General Assembly in 1998.[10][11] He called himself a moderate Republican in the 1990s, but he is now a conservative and a Tea Party activist.[12][13]
During his first months in Congress, Walsh emerged as a sharp critic of the Obama administration, accusing the president of abandoning the U.S.-Israel alliance,[14] and bankrupting the country.[15] He also challenged Obama to secure the borders with "moats and alligators", if necessary.[9] Walsh has maintained a no-compromise approach to legislating that includes rejecting any tax increases.[15] He consistently voted against raising the federal debt ceiling and authored a balanced budget amendment to the United States Constitution.[16]
Walsh's district was redrawn for 2012 by the Democratic-controlled Illinois state legislature.[17][18] While he initially planned to run in his newly drawn 14th district against fellow Republican Randy Hultgren, he eventually decided to run in the remapped 8th district against Democrat Tammy Duckworth. Walsh lost to Duckworth in the general election on November 6, 2012.[19]

Early life, education, and early career [edit]
Walsh was born and raised in the Chicago suburb of North Barrington, the fifth of nine children.[20] He graduated from Barrington High School in 1980, where he was the class president and active in sports.[21] He attended Grinnell College then earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Iowa in 1985.[2][20] In the mid-1980s, he embarked on an acting career, taking lessons in stage, theater and television at The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York and Los Angeles.[9][21] He completed a Master of Public Policy at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy Studies in 1991.[2][22]
Described as a "former social worker" by The New York Times, CNN, and Human Events[12][23][24] Walsh worked with the Jobs for Youth program in the inner-city Chicago area, teaching high school dropouts basic academic and job skills.[25] He later taught American government and American history at Oakton Community College and the Hebrew Theological College.[25]
Fundraising and advocacy career [edit]
Walsh's congressional website indicates he has advocated for "market-based solutions to education reform and urban poverty".[25] He ran the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund, a Chicago-based, privately funded program which grants scholarships to low-income students to attend private high schools.[25] He raised funds for two organizations advocating school choice: the American Education Reform Council, and the Milton and Rose Friedman Foundation.[25] In addition, Walsh raised nearly $1 million over a five-year period for the Fabretto Children's Foundation, an international charity which uses education and micro-enterprise to alleviate poverty among Nicaraguan children.[26]
Walsh also worked on state and local government policy issues for The Heartland Institute,[25] a libertarian free-market think tank based in Chicago. He helped launch conservative organizations that seek to limit government and elect fiscal conservatives to state legislatures such as the Legislative Education Action Drive and the Americans for Limited Government.[25] He also did consulting work with the United Republican Fund, an Illinois political action committee helping to elect Republican state legislators.[25]
He has also raised venture capital for a living, according to the Chicago Tribune[3] with his campaign website indicating that he worked for Ravenswood Advisors, a Chicago boutique investment banking group which raised early-stage investment capital for new and small businesses.[25][26] However, he never made much money[9] and has pointed to salaries of $30,000 to $40,000 a year in the past.[20] In 2010, he had a negative net worth of $317,498 according to the Center for Responsive Politics.[27]
Early political campaigns [edit]
1996 [edit]
Walsh won the Republican nomination for Illinois' 9th congressional district and faced longtime Democratic liberal incumbent Sidney R. Yates, age 87, in the general election.[10] Walsh campaigned by riding his bicycle through the district. He engaged in self-admitted "outrageous" stunts during the campaign which included paying the doorman at Yates' Chicago apartment building $1,000 for being the first person to spot Yates in his district, and throwing a birthday party for Yates that included a cake decorated with 87 candles.[12][28] Walsh denied he was trying to play the "age card".[12] Yates responded that his own age was not a factor, and that Walsh was too young and inexperienced for the job.[12] Yates also commented that the district was too liberal for Walsh, and tried to tie Walsh to conservative Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.[12] In response, Walsh distanced himself from Gingrich and said he considered himself a "moderate Republican";[12] he also ran as a pro-choice candidate in the liberal-leaning district.[29] Yates defeated Walsh 63%-37%.[30]
1998 [edit]
In 1998, Walsh challenged incumbent Democrat Jeffrey Schoenberg for the 58th district seat in the Illinois House of Representatives, which represents the Chicago North Shore suburbs of Wilmette and Evanston, Illinois. Walsh again ran as pro-choice on abortion.[29] He drove a yellow school bus throughout the district during his campaign to focus attention on the issue of public school funding.[31] He criticized Schoenberg for voting in favor of Republican Governor Jim Edgar's school-funding reform bill that would have increased state income taxes but given property tax relief to North Shore homeowners.[31][32] Walsh lost to Schoenberg, 62%-38%.[11]
U.S. House of Representatives (2010–2013) [edit]
Elections [edit]
- 2010
On September 28, 2009, Walsh launched an exploratory committee to run for the United States House of Representatives in the Illinois's 8th congressional district. The district includes parts of the northwest Chicago suburbs: Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, Gurnee, Palatine, Mundelein, Zion, Barrington, McHenry, and Woodstock.
In February 2010, Walsh won the Republican primary election, taking about 34 percent of the vote in a six-person field and moving into the district from Winnetka, Illinois in April.[29][33] The Republican establishment refused to put much stock into the district with National Republican Congressional Committee member Tom Erickson saying, "In the primary, we had really liked Dirk Beveridge or Maria Rodriguez. Those are the two candidates who we thought really had the potential to make this a very competitive race."[34] Walsh's campaign responded that that GOP establishment was "a bit tone deaf when it comes to independent, conservative reform candidates".[34]
For the general election, Walsh faced incumbent Democrat Melissa Bean, who was first elected in 2004, when she defeated Republican incumbent Phil Crane. In 2006, Bean had been re-elected with 51 percent and in 2008 with 60 percent of the vote. Bean was endorsed by the Chicago Tribune,[29] the Chicago Sun-Times,[35] The Daily Herald,[36] and the Lake County News-Sun.[37]
Walsh criticized Bean for her 2010 votes in favor of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act[3] and against the Stupak–Pitts Amendment that would have prohibited the use of federal funds to cover any part of the cost of any health plan that included coverage of abortion.[38] He described himself as a Tea Party conservative activist.[39] and obtained endorsements from two Tea Party organizations, conservative radio talk show host Tom Roeser, and many others.[40]
The national Democratic and Republican parties did not compete or spend any money in the district, and the state GOP did not help Walsh.[8] As a result, during the 2010 election cycle, Walsh's campaign raised only one-quarter as much as Bean's.[9] He spent about $603,000 and ended the campaign about $362,000 in debt according to campaign finance reports,[41] (with much of the debt due to post election ballot counting of the close race).[13] As late as October, The New York Times forecast that Bean had an 88 percent chance at winning re-election. Even CQ Politics had the election as "Safe Democrat". Despite the lack of funding and his long-shot status, Walsh narrowly defeated Bean by a margin of 0.1% or 290 votes. The race was not called until two weeks after Election Day when provisional ballots were counted.[7][42]
- 2012
During the 2011 redrawing of Illinois' election districts by the Democratic-controlled state legislature, Walsh's home was placed in the 14th district, now represented by Republican Randy Hultgren, and the 8th district was reconfigured to favor a Democratic candidate. Walsh and nine other Republican Illinois Representatives filed a lawsuit alleging that the new borders discriminated against Republican and Latino voters.[17][18] On September 21, Walsh announced that if the new district lines were upheld in federal court, he would run for election in the still heavily Republican 14th District against Hultgren.[43]
In late July 2011, Walsh was endorsed by the Club for Growth to run against Hultgren.[5][44] However, after several ethics issues regarding Walsh emerged, (such as charges of failing to pay child support, and driving on a suspended license), the Club for Growth distanced itself from Walsh, stating that it would wait until more facts were known before making a decision.[45] In November 2011, Walsh was cited by the Family Research Council Action committee for his "unwavering support of the family".[46]
In December 2011, Walsh decided to run in the redrawn 8th district,[47] where he would likely face Democrat Tammy Duckworth, a former assistant secretary of the VA,[48] in what seemed to pose a tough race for Walsh.[49][50] In January 2012, the conservative political advocacy group Americans For Prosperity gave Walsh a 100 percent rating.[51]
The ensuing campaign between Walsh and Duckworth emerged as a bitter race. At a July 2012 campaign event, Walsh accused his opponent of politicizing both her military service as a helicopter pilot and her Iraq War injuries which cost her both legs and the partial use of one arm. He said, "my God, that's all she talks about. Our true heroes, the men and women who served us, it's the last thing in the world they talk about."[52][53] Walsh later suggested that she was, in fact, a "true hero," but that she should not talk about her service so frequently,[54] and that her service should not command votes.[55] Walsh decided to skip the 2012 Republican National Convention, distancing himself from establishment Republicans.[50]
Walsh's campaign was bolstered by major financial support in the form of outside spending by conservative Super PACs.[56] In September 2012 Americans for Limited Government gave $1,950,000 to the Now or Never PAC, which then spent $2,022,039 to support Walsh and oppose Duckworth.[57] Over $6.6 million in outside spending was reported in the race, with Walsh receiving more than $6 million of that total.[58] Overall, Walsh outspent her $7 million to $4.7 million.
On November 6, 2012, Duckworth defeated Walsh 55%-45%.[59]
Tenure [edit]
Several days before being sworn into Congress, The New York Times criticized Walsh for his willingness to accept donations from political action committees and lobbyists.[13] After being sworn in, Walsh announced that consistent with his opposition to government-provided health care and the 2010 health care reform legislation, he would not accept congressional health care benefits.[60][61]
During his early months in Congress, he emerged as a sharp critic of the Democrats' and Obama's fiscal policies, and posted a YouTube video in which he accused Obama of bankrupting the country. He also vowed, "I won't place one more dollar of debt upon the backs of my kids and grandkids unless we structurally reform the way this town [Washington, D.C.] spends money!"[15] He became a frequent fixture on cable TV,[9][15] advocating a "no compromise" approach to deficit reduction that rejects any tax increases on the wealthy.[15] He consistently voted against raising the federal debt ceiling and authored a balanced budget amendment to the United States Constitution.[16] Walsh has also said that Obama was elected "because he pushed that magical button: a black man who was articulate, liberal, the whole white guilt, all of that."[62]
During the election season, Walsh was asked what his approach to bipartisanship would be if elected. He replied it would "not be the time right now to extend your hand across the aisle."[36]
In September 2011, Walsh was among 19 members of congress criticized for ethics violations in CREW's (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) annual report.[63]
In November 2011, Walsh was videotaped meeting with his constituents, becoming visibly aggressive and swearing at a woman who questioned him about his comment that the marketplace and the banks were not responsible "for the mess we're in right now." He later apologized for being "too passionate".[64]
Committee assignments [edit]
For the 112th Congress, Walsh has been appointed to leadership positions on the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation Security (vice chairman), and the House Small Business Subcommittee on Economic Growth (chairman). A list of all of his committee assignments follows:
- Committee on Homeland Security
- Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
- Committee on Small Business
Caucus memberships [edit]
Walsh holds other memberships related to his work as a congressman including: the Congressional Hockey Caucus, the House Republican Israel Caucus, the Republican Study Committee and the Tea Party Caucus.[22]
Political positions [edit]
In his failed 1996 Congressional bid, Walsh was more socially liberal, favoring abortion rights and gun control.[21]
Walsh holds fiscally conservative views. On taxes, he said he favors extending the Bush tax cuts, abolishing the estate tax and cutting both the capital gains and corporate tax rates.[3] He blamed joblessness on a reluctance by small businesses to hire and traced that reluctance to an uncertainty on tax policy.[3] In November 2011, Walsh described the Occupy movement as composed of "generally spoiled, pampered, unfocused, clueless young people and a smattering of other people who don't understand this country and are advocating anti-American solutions." When a constituent pointed out that veterans have also taken part in the Occupy movement, Walsh responded, "I don't know how many veterans are part of the Occupy protest. I can't imagine it's many. But anyone who would advocate socialist solutions to certain problems in this country ... they don't understand this country."[65]
On entitlement reform, he suggested cuts would have to be made.[3] "The first thing we need to do is acknowledge that everybody is going to have to give on Social Security reform and Medicare reform," he said.[3] Walsh opposes the extension of unemployment benefits.[3] He said the benefits have already been extended for too long and that attention should be paid to the cost.[3] Following Obama's state of the union speech, Walsh remarked that he did not believe there should be a social safety net because it is not in the Constitution.[9]
Walsh also tends rightward on social issues. On global warming, he said the science behind it was "not definitive" and that U.S. economic interests should come first in any discussion of climate agreements.[3] Walsh also criticized Obama's immigration policies, saying the president had made only token efforts toward securing the borders.[66] In May 2011, while holding a toy alligator in his hand, Walsh announced on the House floor that he would support tough border legislation even if it involved building moats and filling them with alligators.[66]
On abortion, he said to reporters on October 2012 that abortion is never medically necessary to save the life of the mother, saying that "with modern technology and science, you can't find one instance" of a medically necessary abortion.[67]
Walsh holds strongly pro-Israel views. In a May 2012 op-ed for the Washington Times, Walsh advocated for an Israeli annexation of the Palestinian territories, arguing that the Palestinians living there could be given "limited voting power" within the Jewish state and encouraging them to move to Jordan.[68] This led to accusations that Walsh advocated apartheid and the "soft" ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their ancestral home.[69] He wrote a column in The Daily Caller stating that Obama is "not Israel's friend" and should not have criticized Israel for continuing to build settlements in the occupied territories.[9][14] Walsh also argued that most American Jews are liberal and therefore, side with the Palestinians and vague ideas of peace, instead of with Israel.[14] He stated that in order to achieve peace in the Middle East, the U.S. must publicly choose Israel's side, so that Palestinians will "face the combined wrath of Israel and the United States".[14]
In November 2011, Walsh, along with fellow Tea Partier Ron Paul, met leader of the French National Front and anti-Islamist activist Marine Le Pen during her visit to the United States.[70][71]
Walsh campaigned to get Chief Minister of the Indian state of Gujarat, Narendra Modi, a diplomatic visa to the United States, which had previously been denied to him due to allegations of violations of religious freedom against Muslims during the 2002 Gujarat riots. Walsh said that Modi had "quite a successful track record" of fiscal responsibility, described him as "kind of like a Tea Party free market guy in India, which I found very appealing" and noted that "has been recognized across the world for establishing Gujarat as the most business-friendly state in India and is widely believed to be a serious contender for the 2014 election for Indian Prime Minister."[72][73][74]
Personal life [edit]
Walsh has been married twice, and has five children.[26]
Following Walsh's victory in the 2010 Republican primary, it was reported that a bank had foreclosed on his condo and he had been evicted in October 2009, but that he and his family were living in a rented house in the Chicago North Shore suburb of Winnetka at the time.[1] A GOP spokesman said that voters would likely identify with Walsh's financial troubles.[1] He was also reportedly facing a lawsuit by a former campaign manager who claimed Walsh owed him $20,000 for services.[1] and had had federal and state tax liens in the 1980s and 1990s (all paid by 2001).[20] Walsh explained that the major portion of the past due taxes were on a college trust fund he received from his grandfather and that neither he nor his family had been aware that the funds were taxable.[20] He also explained that his more recent financial struggles have made him more attuned to the difficulties faced by the average constituent.[20]
In July 2011, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Walsh's ex-wife, Laura, was suing him for $117,437 for past due child support dating from 2005 for three of the children.[15] Walsh allegedly had told his ex-wife that he did not have the money because he was out of work; she had later seen from his campaign disclosures that he had been employed.[15][75] Walsh's attorney said that Walsh did not owe "anywhere near that amount," and that he had had no more problems paying child support than "any other average guy".[75] Walsh and his ex-wife began working out a settlement of the disputed past due amount in late July 2011.[15] Walsh's financial problems inspired the proposal of a bill which would forbid people owing more than $10,000 in back child support from running for office in Illinois.[76] On April 20, 2012, a settlement was reached, and the case dismissed.[77] As part of the settlement, Walsh issued a statement on behalf of himself and his ex-wife which read, in part, "Having resolved these issues together and cleared up these mistakes in private, we now agree that Joe is not and was not a 'deadbeat dad' and does not owe child support."[77]
In August 2011, the Chicago Tribune reported that Walsh lost his driving privileges from mid-April to mid-July 2011 because he let his insurance lapse. In response, Walsh criticized the Tribune for "wast[ing] time and ink scrutinizing [his] driving record over the last 22 years rather than Washington's unsustainable spending".[21]
On February 1st, 2013,Walsh filed a motion to terminate child support obligations, claiming that as he was now unemployed he was unable to contribute to the support of his five children.
Walsh will become an on air personality on Chicago's talk station WIND-AM. The first show aired on March 25, 2013.[78]

DENHAM SPRINGS — Deputies arrested three people suspected of breaking into houses while the residents were at home, the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office reported Tuesday.
One of the three was armed when captured, and a second gun was found in a stolen car, which was wrecked during a chase, said Lori Steele, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff's Office.
Between midnight and 3:30 a.m. Monday, the deputies received reports of intruders breaking into homes while families were sleeping, she said.
Residents reported burglaries in Plantation Garden Homes subdivision and Plantation Estates subdivision, Steele said. A car was taken during one of the three burglaries, Steel said.
When deputies tried to stop the vehicle as it left the area where the burglaries were reported, the driver sped away and wrecked the car near Range Avenue and Rushing Road, said Perry Rushing, chief of operations for the Sheriff's Office.
The three occupants fled on foot, but two were caught immediately, Rushing said.
The third, Kemo Amos, was found inside a restaurant several hours later, Steele said.
One of the suspects, Hayven Nugent, was armed when captured, and a stolen gun also was found inside the stolen vehicle, Steele said.
A search of the suspects' hotel room led to recovery of stolen phones, weapons, pill bottles, cash and various pieces of jewelry, Steele said, adding that the three had checked in just a few hours before the burglaries.
Nugent, 17, 9911 W. Congress St., Rayne, was booked on counts of aggravated flight from an officer, aggravated obstruction of a highway, hit-and-run driving, illegal possession of a stolen firearm, resisting an officer, felony theft of a vehicle and three counts of aggravated burglary, according to deputies.
He was held in the Livingston Parish Detention Center on Tuesday in lieu of $226,500 bail.
Amos, 17, 2112 Edia St., Maurice, was booked on counts of resisting an officer, illegal possession of a stolen firearm, felony theft of a vehicle and three counts of aggravated burglary, deputies said.
He remained in the Livingston Parish Detention Center Tuesday in lieu of $200,500 bail.
A 16-year-old boy was booked into a juvenile detention center on counts of felony theft of a vehicle, illegal possession of a stolen firearm and three counts of aggravated burglary, the Sheriff's Office reported.
Deputies said the Denham Springs Police Department and the Walker Police Department assisted them in the case.

RUSSELL BRAND is threatening to post saucy pics of fiancée KATY PERRY on the internet in revenge for a one of her pranks.
The Hot N Cold singer posted a snap of the Brit comedian in a wedding dress, from Get Him to the Greek, and hinted that he is obsessed with their upcoming wedding.
And Russell has joked he has pics of her that could 'go nuclear.'
"Katy, that little cow, keeps calling me a bridezilla," he said.
"JARVIS COCKER wrote Just Say Yes, the single we're releasing, and for that one, of the costumes I wore was a wedding dress.
"I sent Katy a picture and she put it on the internet and goes, 'oh look at him he's obsessed with this wedding.'
"I'm trying to think of a way to get revenge.
"Let me tell you there are photos of her on my phone that could go nuclear."
But, like any man who knows the secret of self-preservation, he admitted he hasn't got the guts to do that to his woman.
"A man has to be respectful," he told MTV.
"I'm so tempted but I feel I'm going to need my testicles for the future."
The loved-up pair got engaged in January after meeting on the set of his movie, Get Him to the Greek, and Russell is beginning to accept that he may not be the centre of attention on the big day.
"I think it would be unfair to say this day is all about me," he said.
"I'm going to wear a tuxedo and a top hat with no pants and I'm going to paint my p**is with lipstick.
"This is her day. It's not about those mental images."
Whatever they do, it's sure to be a wedding to remember.

I covered the
dedication ceremony because all of our good reporters had gone home for the
night. In the journalism hierarchy, the better you are, the more sunlight
you're allowed to see. The assignment didn't call for me to actually interview
Armstrong, who would rather shove glass up his urethra than talk to a
journalist. Instead, I was supposed to snag quotes from his acceptance speech to
share with the other newspapers in our corporation. There was company-wide
interest in this story because it involved Neil Freaking Armstrong, which is
actually how his name appears on his birth certificate. People figured he must
have something worthwhile to say after spending so many years out of sight.
Maybe he'd tell everyone the moon landing was a hoax. Maybe he'd fail to see
his shadow and we'd have six more weeks of winter. Whatever went down, my
editors could rest easy knowing I was there to capture it all with my usual
piss-poor attention to detail.
The event
began with a reception packed full of alumni astronauts who came to honor Armstrong
and take advantage of the open bar. This particular university pumped out space
travelers like Catholics pump out babies. I squeezed my way through the room and
interviewed as many VIPs as I could while also trying to grab a free drink. I
remained disappointingly sober throughout the evening, but I did manage to interview
Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on the lunar surface. It was his job to
lock up the place after everybody headed back to earth. Unlike Armstrong, who
had a team of bodyguards to protect him, Cernan hung out in the crowd sipping a
beer. I guess if you're the twelfth man to the moon, you're expendable.
I still don't
understand why Armstrong needed protection. Yes, the world is a dangerous
place, but it's not like they were holding this soirée in downtown Kabul. I'd
like to think he had bodyguards to shield him from my hard-hitting questions:
"Mr. Armstrong, you were the first man to walk on the moon. What's your opinion
on the flat tax and abortion?" The spaceman's security detail wasn't as
airtight as it at first appeared. One of our newspaper interns managed to meet
Armstrong by putting away her notebook and posing as a student. He was polite
and engaging with her, but only because he didn't know her sinister career
aspirations. Armstrong always made time for young learners, but the only thing
he ever taught a journalist is what it feels like to be punched in the throat.
The intern
wasn't the brightest girl in the world – she was going to college to be a
reporter, after all – but she did manage to pull one over on NASA's finest. I figured
I could do the same. In case you're questioning my professionalism, I assure
you my motives were strictly selfish. I just wanted a story I could tell my
Me: "I once shook
hands with Neil Armstrong."
My future grandkids:
"Shut the hell up and go back to the nursing home."
When the reception
ended, the crowd made its way out into the freezing rain to trudge across
campus to the formal banquet room. In the process, the security detail managed
to lose Neil Armstrong. I found him standing by himself just inside the
entrance of the dinning hall. This was my chance to casually offer him my hand,
congratulate him, and be on my way. I'm amazingly smooth in my own mind. In
reality, by the time I made my move an unseen bodyguard was all over me.
"Are you a
reporter?" he asked. It was more of an accusation than a question.
"Yeah, but
barely," I wanted to reply.
Instead, I explained
I didn't want to ask Armstrong any questions. I simply wanted to meet him, just
like our intern did without ill effect a few minutes earlier. The guard looked
at me intently and heard absolutely nothing I said. He couldn't. He had one of
those Secret Service-style earpieces that are scientifically designed to block out
reason. In the same way that animals have bright colors to scare off predators,
security types wear communicators with incredibly obvious wires to warn the
world that abusing authority is part of their job description.
True to form,
the guy demanded to see my media pass. I didn't have one. Nobody gave me one
when I arrived at the reception an hour earlier. In fact, nobody had ever given
me one for anything I'd covered at the university. The purpose of public
relations is to get a message to the public, a function best performed by a
class of professionals known as reporters who relay information to the masses
on a daily basis. Inviting journalists to your event is a great way to get the word
out; expelling them is not. The university's public relations staff understood
this, but that's because they didn't wear Secret Service earpieces. The bodyguard
didn't have that advantage. He threw me out and sent the intern with me for
good measure. He didn't physically drag us to the door, but only because I gave
up easily. It wasn't worth getting beaten up for my poverty-level salary.
Shortly before
the evening's formal program was set to begin, I found myself standing outside in
the freezing rain staring hopelessly at a locked door. My only job that night
was to be in the room when Armstrong gave his speech, and I still found a way
to screw it up. I called the university's public relations director to see if
she could get us back in, but she was too busy hobnobbing with tipsy astronauts
to answer. I also called my editor, but she didn't pickup either. I finally
gave up trying to contact a higher power and trudged across campus to the
building where the reception was held. Apparently there really were media
passes this time. They were lying on a table in a corner that an hour early had
been hidden behind five hundred mingling people. Any security function the credentials
served was defeated, though, because they didn't have our pictures on them and
they were left unattended. Anyone could have walked out of there with an official
media badge, which is exactly what I did. I got back into the dining hall as
Anderson Cooper.
I made it
back to the banquet room just in time for Armstrong's brief remarks. The
bodyguard who threw me out made a halfhearted apology as I came in. To prove I
was the bigger man, I glared at him angrily as I stormed by. Armstrong's
remarks weren't worth all the trouble I went through to hear them. He said he
was incredibly fortunate because all his life he had done only what he wanted to
do. This described the exact opposite of my own life on that night and every other
in which I worked for the paper. Afterward, I drove back to the newsroom and banged
out my usual low-quality article. Nobody else in our chain ended up using any
quotes from it. I think they pulled their information from an Associate Press
reporter who had his media pass the entire time.
I'm sure
Armstrong was an upstanding human being, but I wasn't there for his whole life.
I can only judge him by the thirty second incident in which he watched his bodyguard
jerk me around and didn't intervene. That's the disadvantage of being famous.
If you let down your public persona for even a second, people will assume that momentary
lapse represents the real you. That's why when I become a celebrity, I won't
even bother pretending to be nice. If my security team smashes your camera and
pees in your face, please be aware this is not a misunderstanding.

What Should The State Legislature Do In 2013?
The Georgia General Assembly will convene on Jan. 14, 2013, and Patch wants to know what you think lawmakers should discuss.
Lawmakers, lobbyists, activist groups, the media and concerned citizens are all set to converge on the state capitol on Jan. 14, when the Georgia General Assembly returns to downtown Atlanta. Already, lawmakers have been meeting with their constituents at town halls and public forums throughout metro Atlanta, talking about the issues that may come before the state House and Senate. Some issues have already started to surface. Some DeKalb lawmakers are advocating the formation of yet another city, this one carved out of the North Druid Hills and Briarcliff communities. There's also been talk of creating a new county composed just of Buckhead, with some lawmakers stressing the need to work within our current governments and not forming new …

My New Favorite Piece of Clothing!
By Natalie in the Out-of-Doors
from Iowa
Best Uses
Just bought this skort before a day hike in Utah and I would wear it every day if I could. It's lightweight, cool, and quick-drying, so it's perfect for hot summer days. Shorts underneath fit great and no worries about showing the world your underwear. The super cute fit makes an easy transition from the trail to an evening downtown. I just bought another pair in a different color!
Fantastic skort for many activities
By teleskimama
from Durango, CO
I lived in this skort all last summer. I could barely keep up to washing it I had it on so much - from hiking, teaching yoga, gardening, and everything in between. The fabric is nice and lightweight, shorts underneath are soft and silky, and style is super cute. Highly recommend!

LOVE them!!
By Megan in Moab
from Moab, UT
I bought a pair of these skorts two years ago and I love them! I wear them everywhere and all the time!! The only reason I am getting a second pair isn't because the first pair has worn down, but so that I don't have to wash them so often. I wear them serving in a busy restaurant, rowing my raft down the river, mountain biking, hiking, for casual day wear and going out in the evening when I want to feel a little stylish. They are incredibly comfortable and durable. I never take the time to write product reviews, but these little gems deserve some applause!

Optimize with a SATA RAID Storage Solution
Range of capacities as low as $1250 per TB. Ideal if you currently rely on servers/disks/JBODs
Unlike simple GUI components, JTree objects contain substructure, which makes implementing drag and drop for JTree controls more difficult than for simpler GUI components. In fact, I read in one newsgroup thread that adding drag and drop to a JTree is impossible.
The big stumbling block is that since the JTree's nodes are the objects being dragged, it appears that they should implement the drag-and-drop interfaces.
The truth is that each node is completely unaware that it is even contained in a JTree; there is no getTree()
in the TreeNode
interface. Hence, the drag and drop interfaces must be implemented by the class listening for the JTree events.
For illustration purposes, let's consider a JTree that displays a family tree. All females in the tree may have children.
Males in the tree don't have children. To distinguish between node types, you can force the male node icon to be the leaf
icon and females to be the internal node icon (which is a folder and implies the ability to have children). To do that, you
need to override the isLeaf()
and getAllowsChildren()
methods of the DefaultMutableTreeNode
class (there are other ways, but that's probably the easiest). Only one class is used for all the node objects, male and
female. If a node is male, the isLeaf()
method will always return true and the getAllowsChildren()
method will always return false. The code will look similar to the following:
public boolean isLeaf() { return isMale; } public boolean getAllowsChildren() { return !isMale; }
I'll continue by examining the specific drag-and-drop interfaces. From the java.awt.dnd
package, there are DragGestureListener
(drag gesture recognizer), DragSourceListener
(drag source), and DropTargetListener
(drop target). From the java.awt.datatransfer
package, there is Transferable
The Transferable
interface will be implemented by the object that encapsulates the node data, but the rest of the interfaces will be implemented
by the class that listens to the JTree events (presumably a class that subclasses JTree).
The DragGestureListener
interface is invoked when a DragGestureRecognizer
object detects a drag-initiating gesture.
Below is an example code listing of this interface's only method. Its code will start the drag action.
1 public void dragGestureRecognized(DragGestureEvent e) { 2 DefaultMutableTreeNode dragNode = getSelectedNode(); 3 4 if (dragNode != null) { 5 Transferable transferable = 6 (Transferable) dragNode.getUserObject(); 7 8 Cursor cursor = selectCursor (e.getDragAction()) 9 10 dragSource.startDrag(e, cursor, transferable, this); 11 } 12 } 13 14 private Cursor selectCursor (int action) { 15 return (action == DnDConstants.ACTION_MOVE) ? 16 DragSource.DefaultMoveDrop : DragSource.DefaultCopyDrop; 17 }
The following list explains the steps you take in Lines 2 through 10 in the above code:

State desperately needs partners to serve lunches to needy kids during summer vacation
Below freezing temperatures this week aren't keeping state school officials from planning for needy kids for the summer.
The Michigan Department of Education issued a desperate call for organizations willing to host summer lunch programs for needy children and sites where those meals can be served.
"I am calling on schools, churches, and local government and civic organizations to step up and have a positive impact on the lives and health of children in their community by being a Summer Food Service Program sponsor," state school Superintendent Michael Flanagan said Monday.
Last year, out of 575,000 low-income Michigan children who were eligible, only around 85,000, or 15 percent, had the opportunity to eat free meals or snacks at approved summer meal sites in their neighborhoods.
The Summer Food Service Program serves nutritious meals to children up to age 18 living in low-income areas. The program can operate in schools, public housing centers, playgrounds, camps, parks, and faith-based facilities.
"Many families across Michigan are struggling, and we can't have children going hungry in the summer when programs like this are available," Flanagan said in a press release Tuesday.
These children depend on free or reduced lunch at school and when the school year ends, they may go hungry without a lunch program available in their neighborhood.
"There is a desperate need and the food is available," Flanagan said. "We just need more locations around the state to serve the children."
Federal payments are provided to sponsors for both the meals served to children and the administrative costs of serving the meals. New sponsors will receive free training and technical assistance from MDE.
Sponsors can be public school districts or nonprofit private schools; public or private nonprofit residential summer camps; local, county or state government agencies; colleges or universities; or private nonprofit organizations. Continued...
To be a sponsor, an organization needs to contact MDE by March 1. Applications and information may be obtained by calling 517-373-3347; by visiting www.michigan.gov/sfsp or writing to or visiting MDE's Office of School Support Services, Summer Food Service Program, 608 West Allegan St., P.O. Box 30008, Lansing, Mich. 48909.

Jets rout Rams to snap losing streak
ST. LOUIS — For a few hours, Mark Sanchez had every right to feel good about himself and the direction of the New York Jets.
After a turnover-free Sunday in the Jets' solid 27-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams, the beleaguered quarterback was the unquestioned No. 1. Sanchez believes it's the type of performance that can become contagious.
"If you really take the positives from this game, build on those, continue to get better and improve, we can become a team that just doesn't turn the ball over," Sanchez said. "That could be our identity, if you want it to be and if you work at it."
Sanchez was an efficient 15 of 20 passing for 178 yards and a touchdown, while Tim Tebow was merely a footnote. The Jets dominated on defense, too. And New York stopped a three-game losing streak, and will head into a Thanksgiving night meeting against the AFC East-leading New England Patriots with renewed confidence.
"Our guys have been working extremely hard and I'm really happy for all of us that it showed," coach Rex Ryan said. "We needed a win, obviously, in the worst way."
Bilal Powell ran for the first two touchdowns of his career, Chaz Schilens scored on a 25-yard reception and Nick Folk kicked a pair of 51-yard field goals for the Jets (4-6), who were outscored 58-16 the previous two games. The Jets overcame a tumultuous practice week with several anonymous players quoted in a newspaper report disparaging the ability of Tebow, who had a handful of snaps but was no factor.
Linebacker Bart Scott created a bit of fuss when he initially declined to speak to reporters, complaining of unfair treatment, and barked at teammates to follow suit, yelling to one: "You didn't get the memo?"
Scott later relented.
Ryan had anticipated Tebow to have a larger role but changed the game plan because the Rams surprised them with different looks on defense.
"And that kind of maybe shut him down a little more than we had originally planned," Ryan said. "That was part of the reason you never saw a whole lot of him." Continued...
Brandon Gibson caught a pair of short touchdown passes for the Rams (3-6-1), who committed three turnovers and are in an 0-4-1 slump.
St. Louis' defense hasn't forced a turnover in five straight games, tying the NFL's longest such slump since 1950, according to STATS LLC.
"We knew they were going to come out and give us their best shot and with some fight because of all the stuff that has been going on over there," Rams middle linebacker James Laurinaitis said. "Teams in the NFL just don't fold."
The Rams were favored for the first time this season, a 3½-point pick coming off an impressive outing in a 24-24 tie at San Francisco a week earlier to beat a team that had been sliding. They've lost two straight at home - three in a row counting a blowout loss to the Patriots in London - after a 3-0 start.
The Jets, moving past blowout losses at Seattle and against Miami, led 13-7 at the half and put it away with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
Konrad Reuland's 18-yard catch to the 5, the longest of his career, set up Powell's 5-yard run for a 20-7 lead early in the fourth quarter. Powell, who was questionable after sustaining a concussion against the Seahawks last week, shared carries with Shonn Greene and added an 11-yard TD run for a 27-7 cushion.
Gibson's 1-yard catch capped an 86-yard drive on the first possession and his 2-yard grab cut the deficit to 27-13 with 5:40 to go with the Rams failing on a 2-point conversion pass.
Neither team moved the ball that well, with the Jets' 289-yard outing topping the Rams by 8 yards, putting ball security in the spotlight.
"Turnovers and penalties, they just hurt us," Rams running back Steven Jackson said. "It was kind of like stubbing your toe."
The Jets capitalized on a turnover to take their first lead in 10 quarters plus an overtime period on Schilens' scoring catch that made it 10-7 with 4:31 to go in the half. Two plays earlier, Muhammad Wilkerson stripped Bradford and Scott returned the fumble 38 yards. Continued...
Folk is the second kicker in Jets history with two 50-yard field goals in the same game. He's missed just three of 16 attempts, including a pair of blocked kicks in the last three weeks. Janoris Jenkins got all of the ball to snuff a 26-yard attempt in the first half, leaving the Jets with nothing to show for Eric Smith's interception that gave them possession at the St. Louis 13.

As the unconnected child gets older, much of his time is spent in misbehavior, and he is on the receiving end of constant reprimands; or he tunes out and seems to live in his own separate world. This child becomes known as sullen, a brat, a whiner, or a spoiled kid. These undesirable behaviors are really coping strategies the child uses in search of a connection. The unconnected child doesn't know how to regain a sense of well-being because he has no yardstick to measure attachment. He has difficulty finding a connection because he isn't sure what he lost. This scene results in path-up parenting, with perhaps much time spent in counselors' offices.
With professional counseling, children and parents can begin connecting and settle into a style of discipline that brings out the best in each other. It will require a lot of energy to accomplish this at a stage when it is naturally designed to happen. Newborns are more into being held than six- or nine-year- olds. The best chance for staying connected later on is to get connected early.

Drug Testing for Welfare Moms
By Associated Press
Oklahoma City, OK – Bill passed for drug testing of welfare moms
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) A Senate budget committee has passed a bill calling for drug testing of mothers who receive welfare payments.
The measure was sent to the Senate floor on Tuesday, despite a warning from a Department of Human Services official that it could lead to a loss of federal stimulus money.
Sen. Randy Brogdon, an Owasso Republican, said the goal of his measure is not to penalize recipients of Temporary Assistance to Needy Family payments.
He said the goal is to help families become drug or alcohol free.

There were these two people in a bar, a boy and a girl. They started talking and decided to go back to the guy's house. When they got there the man took off his shirt and said, ''This is 1,000 pounds of dynamite.''
The girl was sweating.
Then he took off his pants and said, ''This is another 1,000 pounds of dynamite.''
By now, the girl wanted to jump on him. Then he took off his boxers and the girl started to run for the door.

The girl said ''With 2,000 pounds fo dynamite and such a short fuse, I thought you were going to blow.''
