As dark settles over the central Shenandoah Valley and in my corner of Augusta County, the jack-o-lantern is lighted, candy is in the basket, and we're waiting for the first little goblins to stop by. There's a new family with five little ones in the neighborhood ... will they trick-or-treat? Our busiest year was a dozen children ... last year we only had three. Previous trick-or-treaters have grown up, married, and have children of their own. The SWAC Children are grown up and gone, too ... this is our second year handing out treats without SWAC Daughter. This year we have an assortment of miniature Hershey candy: Snickers, Reese Peanut Butter Cups, Malted Milk Balls, Peanut Butter Snickers ... and, of course, M&Ms! LOL. Now to wait for the first ones to arrive.... 6:45: Our first customers ... two Ninjas at the door, the youngest children of neighbors up the street, ages 6 and 13. Mom was standing in the yard so we chatted while the Ninjas swung swords in the dark. We sent candy with her for the older daughter at home handing out candy to trick-or-treaters ... treats for all! 7:15: One little fella all by himself, adorable, about 4 years old, dressed as a deer. "Twick-or-Tweet," he said shyly and held out his pumpkin. What a cutie! I dropped the goodies inside and we said hello to his mom and wished them Happy Halloween. Treats for all! 8:40: We closed the door, turned out the porch light, and put away the candy. Halloween 2013 comes to an end.</div>

Shareholders to SEC: Expose corporate "dark money" in politics

If you have any retirement savings, you probably own stock in a public corporation. And the CEOs of those corporations can spend your money however they wish on politics -- without telling you. Since the Supreme Court's 2010 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._Federal_Election_Commission">Citizens United decision</a>, corporations have been pouring millions of dollars into shadowy groups to influence elections. In the 2012 election, up to $400 million was funneled into these "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_money">dark money</a>" groups -- that's 500 percent more than in the previous presidential election before Citizens United. More often than not, that corporate money is being spent to elect anti-worker candidates to public office. A <a href="http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2013/06/17/the-sec-and-dark-political-money/" rel="nofollow">new SEC rule being considered</a> would require publicly traded companies to disclose to shareholders the corporate funds spent on political campaigns. Supporters of the new rule, led by <a href="http://www.citizen.org/Page.aspx?pid=183">Public Citizen</a>, held an event in Washington yesterday where Sen. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Warren" rel="nofollow">Elizabeth Warren</a> (D-Mass.) <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/30/elizabeth-warren-corporate-disclosure_n_4179098.html?utm_hp_ref=politics" rel="nofollow">urged the SEC to shine a light on the "dark money"</a> spent by corporations: <blockquote class="tr_bq">We don't have to have legislation for the SEC to do the right thing. They have the power to do the right thing right now. There is no reason for saying a corporation wants to be able to spend shareholders' money and not tell shareholders how that money is being spent.</blockquote>Advocates for transparency in corporate political spending are also supporting the <a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/s824">Shareholder Protection Act</a>, legislation introduced by Sen. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Menendez" rel="nofollow">Robert Menendez</a> (D-N.J.) to force the SEC to enact a political disclosure rule. Menendez was also at yesterday's event and said the SEC does not need the legislation to write the new rule now. <div> Law professor Ciara Torres-Spelliscy wrote in the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/opinion/commentary/la-oe-torres-corporate-funding-politics-20131030,0,5258845.story#axzz2j8kHEJIQ" rel="nofollow">Los Angeles Times</a>:</div><blockquote class="tr_bq">There is no rule at the SEC that requires public companies to tell their shareholders what they are up to in partisan elections. </blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">If the law of the land allows corporations to spend unlimited money on politics, investors deserve to know when, why and how much.</blockquote><div></div><div>As the <a href="http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2013/10/29/sec-poised-to-improve-political-spending-transparency/" rel="nofollow">Sunlight Foundation observes</a>, the recent government shutdown was just one symptom of the dysfunction sewn by the dark money infecting DC -- all in the interests of right-wing fanatics and their corporate sponsors: </div><blockquote class="tr_bq">Not all that ails our democracy can be blamed on the Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United case, but $1.2 billion in spending by outside groups—at least $300 million of that from undisclosed donors—doesn’t help create a working democracy.</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">Legislation such as the <a href="http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2012/02/09/house-democrats-introduce-disclose-2012/">DISCLOSE</a> Act is still the best chance at comprehensive disclosure of all dark money. But an SEC rule will result in greater accountability by companies that decide to spend money on politics, it will inform investors about how a company spends its profits, and it will help the public identify the messenger behind many of the political ads they see.</blockquote><div>A new SEC rule wouldn't solve all of our problems. It probably won't even reduce corporate political spending all that much. But it would be a nice change from the secrecy that shrouds political spending. </div><div></div><div>And it will give us a chance to hold CEOs accountable when they spend money on politicians who attack working people.</div>

The UA's first building, Old Main has since 1891 served as the "front porch" of the UA, and it holds special significance for generations of Wildcat alumni and campus community members. Earlier this month, the University announced a $13.5 million Save Old Main fundraising campaign to restore the beloved building to its original grandeur, launching the website <a href="http://www.saveoldmain.org/" target="_blank">www.saveoldmain.org</a> and the Twitter hashtag #saveoldmain. But as the iconic Old Main undergoes the most comprehensive renovation in its history, some construction crew members are reporting ghostly goings-on. "I can't say I've seen anything, but I've heard some weird stuff as far as creaking and cracking," said Fred Briscoe, senior project manager with Sundt Construction. "We joke quite a bit that we're making Carlos mad." The Carlos he's referring to is Carlos Maldenado, who is said to have been murdered while supervising the construction of Old Main in 1888. The legend of Carlos is detailed online at <a href="http://www.uofamystery.org/" target="_blank">www.uofamystery.org</a>, a website not affiliated with the University. The story goes that Carlos often spent the night at Old Main while it was being built, chatting with members of local Indian tribes who stopped by to check out the project and keeping watch over the building, which some locals were not happy to see being constructed. One morning, Carlos's construction crew members arrived to find their beloved boss sitting in a wooden chair with a large knife stuck in his throat. His murder was never solved, and it's said that his spirit still haunts the building, where a number of students, staff and faculty have reported seeing him over the years. Word of Carlos traveled fast among workers who are currently renovating Old Main, a project scheduled for completion in the summer of 2014. Sundt Construction foreman Tomás Avilez certainly believes the legend. In fact, he enthusiastically claims to have seen Carlos twice, in the form of a shadowy figure in the attic of Old Main. "He doesn't stand still long enough to take a picture," Avilez said. "He kind of hides." "I'm not afraid of him, because I'm not afraid of stuff like that, but if you sit in the attic long enough, he might appear," he said. Carpenter Frank Contreras also has been spooked by the ghost story. After hearing Avilez and other colleagues talking about Carlos, he went online to do some investigating of his own and found the tale. Not long after, he arrived at Old Main early one morning, the first one on the site. When he entered an upstairs hallway, several faucets suddenly turned on at once, sending him in the opposite direction. Contreras's strategy, should he ever come face to face with Carlos: "Start running!" Senior project superintendent Dennis Manley has had some frayed nerves courtesy of Carlos, too. "I was here a lot by myself the first couple of weeks, and I'm a scaredy cat. When I came into work in the morning it was dark and I got goose bumps," he said. But Manley is no longer worried. "Now that he sees this place is getting a facelift, I think he's gone." Old Main's haunted history has earned it a spot on the UA's new Ghosts of the UA tour, set to launch Nov. 8, during Homecoming weekend. The hourlong walking tour, hosted by the <a href="http://alumni.arizona.edu/" target="_blank">Arizona Alumni Association</a>'s <a href="http://alumni.arizona.edu/saa" target="_blank">Student Alumni Ambassadors</a>, also will also include ghostly tales about the UA's Maricopa Residence Hall, Centennial Hall and Bear Down Gym. The free tour starts at 10 a.m. on the east side of Old Main and is open to the public. Those interested should RSVP at <a href="http://www.arizonaalumni.com/ghosttour" target="_blank">www.arizonaalumni.com/ghosttour</a>. In the meantime, renovations continue at Old Main through Halloween and beyond, with crewmembers hoping Carlos is a friendly ghost.</div></div></div>

OK, my Republican friends, explain this one away if you can. In an article about House-Senate budget negotiations in today's (Oct. 31) Arizona Republic, Associated Press correspondent Andrew Taylor notes: "Democrats are eager to ease cuts to domestic programs like Head Start preschools, education grants to local schools, and infrastructure projects. "Republicans are especially worried about cuts to the Pentagon." Dear Republican friends: If you agree with the above, then you no longer need to ask me the difference between a Democrat and a Republican.  It's right there in black and white.   If you disagree, if this is not what you value, then what the hell are you doing voting Republican?

Cantor said that at EmergencyRoom.gov, “Health care is just three easy steps away. One: enter your zip code. Two: see the list of emergency rooms. Three: get to the nearest one before you die.” The Virginia Republican wasted no time touting the cost savings of EmergencyRoom.gov, comparing it favorably with the notoriously expensive Obamacare site: “Unlike Healthcare.gov, which private contractors built at a cost running into the hundreds of millions, EmergencyRoom.gov was built for nine hundred dollars by my intern Josh.” And in contrast with Healthcare.gov’s maze of forms, links, and phone numbers, he said, “EmergencyRoom.gov has just one phone number: 9-1-1.” In what may be the strongest selling point for the new site, Rep. Cantor said that the wait time on EmergencyRoom.gov is “virtually nonexistent,” not counting the twelve to thirty-six hours spent in the actual emergency room.
