The deal should not halt bipartisan efforts in the U.S. Senate to approve legislation for tougher economic sanctions on Iran. in the hours after the deal was announced, there were indications that Democrats might still join Republicans in that effort, but Democrats wouldn't agree to new sanctions that would take effect during the six-month negotiating window. The best that may be on the table is legislation that would quickly impose harsher sanctions if Iran violates the agreement or walks away from negotiations.

== Bruce Rauner has many million ==
 +
 +
<html>There's the 6,870-square-foot Rauner mansion on a half-acre lot in Winnetka; two units, including a penthouse, in a luxury high-rise overlooking Millennium Park; a waterfront villa in the Florida Keys with a 72-foot-long pool; ranches in Montana and Wyoming; and a condo in an upscale Utah ski resort.
 +
Most carry price tags well into the seven figures. But topping the list is a penthouse in a landmark co-op building along New York's Central Park, which property records show Rauner bought in 2005 for $10 million.
 +
Rauner has amassed a larger stable of high-end residences than Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee whose plentiful and opulent homes lent ammunition to foes who portrayed him as an out-of-touch elitist.
 +
Rauner dismisses any such comparison to Romney and says the watch demonstrates what he is really about value for his investment. He idolizes his maternal grandfather, Clarence Erickson, who lived in a mobile home and worked as a laborer in a Wisconsin cheese factory.
 +
"I'm very thoughtful and disciplined with my money," Rauner said in an interview Friday, adding he doesn't like to "spend frivolously or for big consumption."
 +
He said he looks for value in things like art, land and buildings that can appreciate over time.
 +
"I like to spend money on investments," he said. "If I think it's beautiful; if I can hunt on it."
 +
Rauner, 57, who describes himself as just a middle-class kid "who worked his fanny off," grew up mostly in upscale North Shore suburbs. His father was a vice president at electronics giant Motorola.
 +
After a highly successful career as a name partner of an $8 billion private equity empire based in Chicago, Rauner is tapping his considerable personal fortune to underwrite his campaign, including those recent TV spots. The infusion of his own cash so far has hit $749,000, and Rauner has made it clear there's a lot more where that came from that could be tapped to help win election.
 +
Just how much more is not certain. Rauner has never run for office and has not publicly disclosed personal financial data. He said his net worth is in the "hundreds of millions of dollars," and he will highlight dozens of his investments in coming days. He is expected to file his nominating petitions in Springfield on Monday, the first day for hopefuls to make their campaigns official.
 +
Illinois has known its share of political hopefuls with deep pockets, but Rauner is surely one of the wealthiest ever to seek statewide office. His chief rivals for the Republican nomination are expected to be state Treasurer Dan Rutherford and state Sens. Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale and Bill Brady of Bloomington.
 +
On the campaign trail,[http://www.collectteam.com <strong>cheap Saints jerseys</strong>], Rauner talks up his outdoors lifestyle, and his campaign Tumblr page brims with photos of the candidate holding shiny saltwater fish from his Florida excursions and posing with friends, rifles, downed pheasants, and hunting dogs on trips to his Western properties.
 +
Rauner said he likes recreational properties where he can practice land or water conservation. He often buys and pastes parcels together in areas he thinks are beautiful to "have an investment that appreciates over a 20- to 30-year period."
 +
That includes his property in Wyoming, he said, where he grows barley, alfalfa and winter wheat.
 +
When he takes his family West, they most often go to his New Moon Ranch in Livingston, Mont., near Yellowstone National Park. It sits on hundreds of acres of grazing and cropland and includes a nearly 6,000-square-foot home, according to property records. It has five bedrooms and four baths and is currently valued by the Park County, Mont., assessor at $2.2 million.
 +
In the winter, Rauner and his wife,[http://www.collectteam.com <strong>cheap Saints jerseys china</strong>], Diana, have their pick of both hot and cold weather getaways. For snow sports they have a condominium in the luxury Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, east of Salt Lake City, purchased in 2003 and currently valued by the assessor there at $1.75 million.
 +
The Rauners also own an oceanfront home in Key Largo, Fla., currently worth almost $7 million, according to property records there. It has a private boat dock, four bedrooms,[http://richcareer.net/#comment-205384 D.C. to host 2016 ACC Men&#039;s Basketball Tournament], four baths, 5,370 square feet of ground-floor living space and a patio nearly half that size.
 +
The Rauners also have a New York penthouse on Central Park in a century-old Beaux Arts style building known as The Prasada. They paid $10 million for it eight years ago. A billionaire neighbor recently put the adjoining penthouse up for sale and is asking $48 million, according to realty postings.
 +
In Illinois,[http://life4sound.pl/wiki/U%C5%BCytkownik:Zrzwtosj2#HAGERSTOWN.2C_Md.-_Md._judiciary_makes_.27courtroom_behavior HAGERSTOWN, Md.- Md. judiciary makes 'courtroom behavior], Rauner holds title to three homes in Cook County, including two condominium units on East Randolph Street. Records show Rauner paid more than $1.2 million for the smaller unit in late 2008, where one of his daughters now lives.
 +
The Rauners bought the penthouse unit a couple of months earlier, in August 2008, for $4 million, according to county records. That was six months after Rauner contacted the office of then-Chicago schools CEO Arne Duncan about getting his youngest daughter into Walter Payton College Prep, among the city's elite public high schools. The contact was recorded on a list of special school requests made by VIPs, which the Tribune obtained.
 +
The Rauners still own their Winnetka house and consider it their primary residence. Its current market value is estimated at $3.3 million by the Cook County assessor's office.
 +
Rauner paid $64,337.84 in property taxes this year on the Winnetka house alone,[http://www.collectteam.com <strong>cheap nike Saints jerseys</strong>], records show. That is nearly 20 percent greater than the median household income in Illinois of $51,738, according to 2012 data from the U.S. Census Bureau.</html>

Chicago hacker sentenced

<html>In a lengthy statement to the court, Hammond, part of a loose band of politically motivated hackers known as Anonymous, said he knew what he was doing was illegal but had become frustrated with the ineffectiveness of peaceful demonstrations. "I have tried everything from voting petitions to peaceful protest and have found that those in power do not want the truth to be exposed,Going postal in the coastal Going postal in the coastal Going postal in the coastal Going postal in the coastal," Hammond said. "When we speak truth to power, we are ignored at best and brutally suppressed at worst." But U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska drew a sharp distinction between Hammond and activists such as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. or Nelson Mandela. "There's nothing high-minded or public-spirited about causing mayhem," Preska said. Prosecutors said Hammond hacked into more than half a dozen secure sites to cause what he called "maximum mayhem." His most high-profile hack came in December 2011 when he stole at least 200 gigabytes of confidential information from Stratfor, a private Texas intelligence firm. Thousands of employee emails were released to WikiLeaks and posted over a series of weeks,cheap Saints jerseys free shipping, exposing a host of secret operations Stratfor was conducting,cheap Saints jerseys china, from tracking the Occupy movement on behalf of the U.S. government to corporate spying for heavyweights such as Dow Chemical Co. and Coca-Cola. One of the hackers who helped set up the takedown of Stratfor Hector Xavier Monsegur was working undercover for the federal government,Saints jerseys cheap, leading to Hammond's arrest at his Bridgeport home in March 2012. In asking the judge to sentence Hammond to time served, his attorneys noted that three of Hammond's Anonymous co-conspirators who were charged in Ireland and Britain all received less then three years in prison after pleading guilty. But unlike those hackers, the judge noted, Hammond had a prior conviction for a similar crime. In December 2006 he was sentenced in Chicago to two years in prison for breaking into the website of a conservative activist group and stealing credit card information. "I still believe in the importance of hacktivism as a form of civil disobedience, but it is time for me to move on to other ways of seeking change," Hammond said in his statement.

Johnson makes case as 1 of the all

<html>comments

HOMESTEAD, Fla. It took Jimmie Johnson just 13 races into his rookie season with Hendrick Motorsports to prove to his team he was a rare talent.

He had just won at Dover for his second victory in four weeks and was debriefing with crew chief Chad Knaus when he brought up a sensation he felt in the car that day that he was certain came from wind blowing through a gap in the grandstands. It was remarkable insight, Knaus said, from a driver who understands very little about the setup of a race car. "He can feel the car. He can be one with the car," Knaus said. "I know that sounds foolish, it sounds weird. But, seriously, go to a surfer and ask him about his surfboard. Go to a snowboarder and ask him about his snowboard. Go to a skier, ask him about his skis. "When they're able to get in that position, and they feel the car, understand what the car is going to do, it's pretty amazing. Jimmie can really do that. He feels what's going on." Knaus went so far as to claim Johnson does things in the car "most mortals can't." His resume supports that claim. Johnson continued his romp through the NASCAR record books Sunday night by winning his sixth championship in eight years. With only the mark of seven titles won by Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt ahead of him, Johnson is making a solid case to be considered one of the best to ever climb into a race car. It's a debate he wants no part of, shrugging in his champagne-soaked firesuit Sunday night that those conversations can wait until after he's done racing. There are some who believe Johnson is a product of his environment, and he wins because he drives for mighty Hendrick Motorsports in a car prepared by Knaus, a crew chief so laser-focused on the No. 48 Chevrolet that it's not always evident if he finds any joy in his job. There's also an argument that Johnson's titles stem from the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format, which debuted in 2004 as a 10-race playoff. It replaced the decades-old system of crowning a champion based on an entire season, and Johnson reeled off five consecutive titles beginning with Year 3 of the Chase. Indeed, under the old scoring system,cheap Saints jerseys china, Johnson would not have won titles in 2007, 2008 or 2010. But that's not his problem. He raced under the rules at the time, on the same playing field as everyone else on the track �� the same as Petty did during his heyday, and Earnhardt during his time. As far as Petty is concerned, the debate is pointless. "All I can say is Earnhardt did his thing in his time against his competition. I did mine against my competition, and he's doing his thing against his competition," Petty said. "We didn't compete with each other. He wasn't there to race against Richard Petty or Earnhardt,cheap Saints jerseys, and we didn't have to race against Jimmie Johnson, either. "You can't compare. It's not apples and apples. It's apples and oranges." Petty is right, it is very difficult to compare. But Johnson has very much earned the right to be part of the conversation by winning his six titles faster than Petty and Earnhardt,5 ways to avoid the biggest legal pitfalls of running a startup 5 ways to avoid the biggest legal pitfalls of running a startup 5 ways to avoid the biggest legal pitfalls of running a startup 5 ways to avoid the biggest legal pitfalls of running a startup, by becoming the youngest driver at 38 to reach the mark, and by winning 30 more races (he has 66 total Cup wins) than any other driver in the last 11 years. "I don't think he wants to try to prove it to anybody else, he just wants to prove it to himself,High School OT.com_0 High School OT.com_0 High School OT.com_0 High School OT.com_0," team owner Rick Hendrick said. "I've never seen anyone that works any harder and is any more committed to his physical conditioning, from the way he eats at certain times of the year, when he gets into the Chase, the way he works out. "He doesn't have to run over people. He doesn't have to go out and brag about what he's done. He just shows up, does his job. Sooner or later people have to say, 'You're the deal.'" Yet Johnson still fights a stereotype among many stick-and-ball types who don't respect what he's done. The most recent slight came from retired NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb, who was asked on a Fox Sports program to rank Johnson against other athletes at the top of their game. McNabb dismissed the driver as "absolutely not an athlete" because "he sits in a car and he drives, that doesn't take being athletic." Fellow drivers from various series rallied to Johnson's defense, and NASCAR fans berated McNabb on social media. Johnson said very little on the topic, even after winning his championship. "Yes, I am an athlete, and so is every driver in one of these race cars," he smiled. Ironically, Fox Sports rival ESPN will have Johnson sit in as host Tuesday night for SportsCenter, an appearance being touted as "the first athlete to guest host." He deserves the nod, as his accomplishments rank as high as any other current athlete. Derek Jeter and Kobe Bryant have five team championships, which Johnson has now surpassed. He's tied with Michael Jordan, who for two years has ribbed Johnson that he had one more ring than the driver. While Roger Federer won 16 Grand Slams in eight years, and Tiger Woods won seven majors in four years, Johnson has won all of NASCAR's "crown jewels." He's won two Daytona 500s, four Brickyard 400s, Coca-Cola 600s and All-Star races, and two Southern 500s. There are only five active tracks on the schedule where Johnson has yet to win, and one of them is Homestead, where he's traditionally playing it safe and trying to wrap up a championship. Knaus, who opined Sunday night that if not for midseason rule changes in 2012 the team "would have waxed the competition," believes the current crew he's assembled around Johnson has yet to reach its full potential. Johnson doesn't dare dream of what other goals he might accomplish or where he'll rank when it's all said and done. "It's not like me to think in that light. It's just not me," Johnson said. "I guess I need to open my mind to it because the numbers speak for themselves. I find myself in a touchy situation at times where my quiet approach can be looked at as arrogant or cocky, and that is the furthest thing from the truth in what I'm trying to portray. "I'm just trying to say the right things and keep my mind in the right space. I haven't let a lot in, and it's led to more success. It's kept my work ethic intact, kept me honest and humble. I like that about myself. I really, really do. I don't know if I want to open my mind and let it in, where I stand in the sports world. It's not time for that in my eyes."Copyright 2013 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

State regulators meet Barack Obama on cancellations fix

<html>WASHINGTON ?

At this pace, women executives in Chicago won't get parity f

<html>"Eighty percent of all new board seats are being filled by men," said Suzanne Bettman, chair of The Chicago Network, a group of influential women in Chicago business, and general counsel at printing company R.R. Donnelley Sons Co. "You can't make progress to parity with that fact. These jobs these board jobs turn over very slowly." The rate of progress for women at the top of corporate Chicago has been so slow the network opted not to release to the media last year's report. "There was no news," Bettman said. Two numbers stood out this year. The first was a positive finding that the number of female board members at the Top 50 companies is at the highest level since the network began its census in 1998. That's 91 women, or nearly 17 percent of the total. Still, the number of female executive officers fell to 74 and is well below the peak of 94 in 2005. The more than 20 percent drop has the woman who oversaw this year's census baffled. "Is it surprising? I guess the answer is, 'Yes,'" said Gloria Santona,cheap Saints nike jerseys, McDonald's general counsel. "I can't tell you why. Or why I think it is the way it is." The data, compiled pro bono by Deloitte Consulting, is based on each company's 2012 fiscal year filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and so the situation in any of the companies' executive ranks could have changed. Also, each company picks who it classifies as an "executive officer," so some have more than others. Ventas, for instance,cheap Saints jerseys free shipping, reported that it had six executive officers, while Dover Corp. reported 18. But Ventas and Dover reported that they had one woman each in their executive pool. Given that the senior ranks of any corporation extend beyond the very top "executive officers," Bettman said that the network's data on company leadership "wasn't the full story. Let's hope the full story is better. But I don't know." Among this year's bottom performers were truck-maker Navistar International Corp.; insurance company CNA Financial Corp., which is controlled by the Tisch family of New York; fertilizer company CF Industries Holdings Inc.; and transportation management company Hub Group Inc. These four companies had no women on their boards, and that remains true today. Meanwhile nine companies reported no female executive officers, with Navistar and CNA also making this list. The other seven companies were General Growth Properties, Packaging Corp. of America, Mead Johnson Nutrition Co., LKQ Corp., Old Republic International Corp., Sears Holdings Corp. and Catamaran Corp. "We're not satisfied with the current state," said Jim Spangler, chief communications officer at Navistar. "And we recognize we need to do a better job recruiting and promoting women and minorities to our senior ranks and at the board level. Troy Clarke took over as CEO in April, and this is a top priority." Clarke can pick and choose his team. But Navistar's board is dominated by billionaire Carl Icahn and Mark Rachesky, both activist investors who control four board seats. The company previously had a woman on its board, Diane Gulyas, who retired in December after three years as a director. Navistar replaced her with the managing director of Icahn Capital,No debate among Bears- Cutler,cheap nike Saints jerseys, Samuel Merksamer. Meanwhile, of CNA's 10 executive officers and eight board members, zero are women, according to the census. "CNA has women running many key functions of the company," spokeswoman Jennifer Martinez-Roth said in an emailed statement. "We value the contributions they make to our company, and are continually working to develop new leaders to take on expanded roles in the future." The Chicago Network is careful not to publicly criticize any company, leaving it to reporters to search their charts for the zeros. But they do laud "top performers," such as Mondelez International, led by Irene Rosenfeld; Ingredion Inc., led by Ilene Gordon; Jones Lang LaSalle, whose board chair is Sheila Penrose; Discover Financial Services; and CDW Corp. Gordon cited factors that have nothing to do with gender that often limit women's abilities to advance to corporate boards. At companies without strict age and term limits for board members, there are fewer open seats. Another factor is whether board members insist that their ranks be filled with current or retired CEOs. "If a board insists on that, it will be arithmetically impossible to add more women," Gordon said. "Of the few women who've reached that level at Fortune 1000 companies, they already are on the max number of boards they can be on." In October, Gordon added two women to Ingredion's board: Rhonda Jordan,Fifty Years Ago Today, November 16, 1963, a former division president at Kraft Foods, and Victoria Reich, a former chief financial officer at United Stationers. Four of Ingredion's 12 board members are women. "You have to be open" to diversity, Bettman said. "The trap (companies) fall into is trying to find a replacement that sort of looks and feels like the person they're replacing."

Advertising arch across Clark part of Wrigley renovation

<html>The advertising arch had been talked about during the protracted negotiations about the particulars of the massive renovation plan that went on among Mayor Rahm Emanuel,cheap Saints jerseys china, team owners the Ricketts family and Wrigleyville Ald. Tom Tunney. But Thursday s meeting was the first time it was publicly presented to city officials as an official part of the $500 million development deal. Cubs vice president Michael Lufrano said the advertising arch was agreed to after the team consented to give up a proposed pedestrian bridge over Clark connecting a planned Ricketts-owned hotel to the stadium. Tunney, 44th, opposed the bridge, which would have featured an advertising banner. The arch is just one part of the larger Wrigleyville overhaul package that now heads to the City Council Zoning Committee. The new plan would push back Wrigley Field's right field wall an additional eight feet on top of the seven feet it already is to be moved back as part of a plan aldermen approved in July. The new plan would allow the team to widen the sidewalk east of the ballpark by two feet and narrow Sheffield Avenue behind the ballpark from 33 feet wide to 23 feet wide. The Cubs plan to use the additional space to expand a fan deck in right field and install a bar and grill at the southeast corner of the stadium. There also will be additional concession space below the bleachers. The narrowing of Sheffield, which would eliminate street parking on the block to the east of the park, drew strong opposition from a handful of Wrigleyville residents at the Plan Commission meeting. Jim Spencer, who lives near the ballpark, complained that Emanuel is giving away public property to help the wealthy Ricketts family increase profits. Narrowing our streets and sidewalks and eliminating all of the parking so the Cubs can make money from what is essentially a beer and event deck is unacceptable to us,cheap Saints nike jerseys, Spencer said.

The mayor has proven to be the Cubs most valuable player for 2013 as he has trampled our rights,Indiana State makes believer , trampled our neighborhood, all for the good of the Cubs, Spencer said.

Emanuel introduced the ordinance laying out the most recent proposed changes to the Wrigley renovation package and Tunney endorsed it, giving the revisions a strong likelihood of success when the amended renovation plans go back to the City Council for a vote. The revised plan also eliminates an entrance to the Ricketts hotel that had been slated for Patterson Avenue west of Clark,Illinois Supreme Court moves ,cheap nike Saints jerseys, as well as a hotel deck above the entrance. Guests instead will enter the hotel on Clark. Though aldermen already signed off once on the overhaul of the park and its surroundings, work has yet to begin. Cubs CEO Tom Ricketts says he wants assurances from the owners of rooftop clubs surrounding the park that they will not sue to prevent the team from putting up a large video board in left field and a 650-square-foot see-through billboard in right field that will block some rooftop views. On Thursday, Lufrano would not commit to the Cubs breaking ground on the renovations this offseason. Stay tuned, he said. jebyrne@tribune.com

The Dallas Maverick鈥檚 Plan B (Monta Ellis) Seems to be Wor

<html>Nov 20,[4], 2013; Dallas,Times exclusive- Irma Thomas chats career, passion, TX,Saints jerseys cheap, USA; Houston Rockets center (12) defends against Dallas Mavericks guard (11) in the second quarter at American Airlines Center. Mandatory Credit: Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports This offseason didn’t go quite as planned. Now that I mention it the offseason before that didn’t go as planned either. Plan A was obviously to sign All-Star center Dwight Howard to a max contract. The Plan A before that was to sign Deron Williams. Neither of those plans were realized and the Mavericks were forced to improvise. When Dwight Howard rebuked the Mavericks and selected the in-state rival, Houston Rockets, Mark Cuban acted quickly. The Mavericks went on tear rebuilding their roster virtually overnight. The prize of their free agent spending spree?

Monta Ellis The polarizing scorer was heralded by some for his offensive prowess and chastised by others for his unwillingness to defend. Yours truly likened the signing to when the Mavericks acquired from Boston. I believe I called him a one-dimensional volume shooter. While I’m not ready to eat my words completely I am willing to admit I may have been a little overly dramatic with my original assessment. In this extremely short sample size,cheap nike Saints jerseys, Monta Ellis has been playing like a star.

Mandatory Credit: Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports He’s ranked #8 in the NBA in scoring and he’s doing so with a .495 field goal percentage. Of the 7 players above him on the scoring list, only LeBron James boasts a better FG%.  Monta is also tied for 19th in assists averaging 5.7 per game. This is nothing spectacular but keep in mind he’s a SG and not a PG. Of the 18 players above him on the list, all but two are PGs. THAT’S impressive! Monta’s turnovers are higher than we would like but his steals are 1.58, which at least makes up for a sizable amount of them. He’s automatic from the free throw line and clutch in the 4th quarter. They said for this Mavericks team to succeed,  would have to be the second best player. Well, I’m not ready to say Ellis has passed Dirk yet but if Dirk is #1 then Monta has been 1a. To my surprise, Plan B is working just fine. Do you have questions or comments regarding Dallas area sports? Email Reid at . You may be included in the next weekly mailbag.

RALEIGH- Millbrook knocks off top

<html>RALEIGH Millbrook knocked off top-seeded Wakefield 23-16 on Friday night to advance to the third round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association 4AA East playoffs for the first time since 2007. This group reminds me so much of that group, said Millbrook coach Clarence Inscore,cheap Saints jerseys free shipping, comparing this year s team to the last Wildcats team to make it to this point. They re close-knit. They really got together in the offseason and said, We ve got to dedicate ourselves. We want to turn things around. We want to do something special. It already is a special group, but hopefully we re not done. Millbrook never trailed, with junior Marcus Marshall (221 yards on 40 carries) handling the load of the Wildcats offense.Marshall s 6-yard touchdown put Millbrook ahead by 10 with 8:17 remaining in the game, but Wakefield responded with quarterback Evan Brabrand (15 of 30 for 179 yards passing) punching in his second touchdown of the game with 5:06 to play to keep the Wolverines alive.Kicker Jarrett Cervi came up big for the Wildcats,cheap Saints jerseys, booting in his third field goal of the night with just more than a minute remaining, to help Millbrook (10-3, 5-2 Cap Eight) defeat another fellow Cap Eight team to advance. Jarrett Cervi s a heck of a kicker, Inscore said of the senior who knocked in 36-, 46- and 38-yarders. He s been hampered this year a little bit with some injuries,Northwestern State hopes to prevent opponents' runs in finale, but boy did he come up big tonight. We have a lot of confidence in him. Our guys up front did a heck of a job giving him time to kick. Our team has been one of those resilient teams and battled all year. We ve lost three close football games this year and I think it s made us tougher. Wakefield (11-2, 6-1 Cap Eight), the Cap Eight champion, dropped just two games this season, both against Millbrook. At the beginning of the season there were a lot of question marks to be answered and we answered a lot of questions, said Wakefield coach Rod Sink. We played hard ... I just think we just shot ourselves in the foot in the first half. It s kind of hard to get some momentum going there. Millbrook will face another conference foe while hosting No. 12 Wake Forest (10-3, 4-3 Cap Eight) next week. Wake Forest won the regular season meeting 31-25. That just speaks volumes about our conference and how strong it is,cheap Saints nike jerseys, and we re just excited to we have another home game,'Bama, Florida St take break, while Baylor bows up, Inscore said. My Thanksgiving plans would be to be with my team and play football, and I m excited to do that.

Iran nuclear deal is a tepid triumph for U.S., allies

<html>Iran curbs, but doesn't stop,A.J. Cole Minor League Stati, enriching uranium in the interim deal. It continues to enrich at lower levels,Ask Amy advice about play dates, though it commits to dilute or neutralize its higher enriched uranium that is closer to weapons grade. At best, this could add a few weeks to the time Iran needs to produce weapons-grade uranium for a bomb. Tehran faces other modest curbs. It can't install new centrifuges but it can keep those it has and replace broken units. Iran will allow inspectors to visit its declared nuclear sites daily to ensure that it is not cheating. That's of limited value if Iran has secret nuclear facilities. One concession of value: Iran cannot take critical steps to bring online its nuclear power plant at Arak. If that reactor goes online, its spent fuel eventually could be reprocessed into plutonium. That's a second path to the bomb for Iran. Once the reactor starts, any military action against it would be nearly unthinkable because an explosion would risk nuclear fallout. The reason for deep concern, though, is that Iran escapes from some of the economic sanctions that forced it to negotiate in the first place. The Obama administration says those sanctions can be reinstated if Iran cheats or negotiations fail. But Iran will reap the benefit of billions of dollars. And it may not be that easy to persuade international businesses to forgo trade with Tehran if trade resumes. Republicans, as would be expected, sharply criticized the terms of the deal. But Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez,cheap Saints jerseys free shipping, a Democrat from New Jersey,Saints jerseys cheap, was unsparing as well. "In my view, this agreement did not proportionally reduce Iran's nuclear program for the relief it is receiving," he said. He might as well have said hope has triumphed over experience. The deal provides six months for negotiations toward a final agreement. It also buys Iran time to gain a firmer financial footing. The greatest risk here is that Iran which has a history of duplicity in its dealings with the world on nuclear matters will lead along negotiators for months and then resume its efforts to build a nuclear weapon. The deal should not halt bipartisan efforts in the U.S. Senate to approve legislation for tougher economic sanctions on Iran. in the hours after the deal was announced, there were indications that Democrats might still join Republicans in that effort, but Democrats wouldn't agree to new sanctions that would take effect during the six-month negotiating window. The best that may be on the table is legislation that would quickly impose harsher sanctions if Iran violates the agreement or walks away from negotiations. The U.S. and other nations who negotiated this deal appear to have put only a speed bump in front of Iran,cheap Saints jerseys, a speed bump in a very dangerous race.</html>

Bruce Rauner has many million

<html>There's the 6,870-square-foot Rauner mansion on a half-acre lot in Winnetka; two units, including a penthouse, in a luxury high-rise overlooking Millennium Park; a waterfront villa in the Florida Keys with a 72-foot-long pool; ranches in Montana and Wyoming; and a condo in an upscale Utah ski resort. Most carry price tags well into the seven figures. But topping the list is a penthouse in a landmark co-op building along New York's Central Park, which property records show Rauner bought in 2005 for $10 million. Rauner has amassed a larger stable of high-end residences than Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee whose plentiful and opulent homes lent ammunition to foes who portrayed him as an out-of-touch elitist. Rauner dismisses any such comparison to Romney and says the watch demonstrates what he is really about value for his investment. He idolizes his maternal grandfather, Clarence Erickson, who lived in a mobile home and worked as a laborer in a Wisconsin cheese factory. "I'm very thoughtful and disciplined with my money," Rauner said in an interview Friday, adding he doesn't like to "spend frivolously or for big consumption." He said he looks for value in things like art, land and buildings that can appreciate over time. "I like to spend money on investments," he said. "If I think it's beautiful; if I can hunt on it." Rauner, 57, who describes himself as just a middle-class kid "who worked his fanny off," grew up mostly in upscale North Shore suburbs. His father was a vice president at electronics giant Motorola. After a highly successful career as a name partner of an $8 billion private equity empire based in Chicago, Rauner is tapping his considerable personal fortune to underwrite his campaign, including those recent TV spots. The infusion of his own cash so far has hit $749,000, and Rauner has made it clear there's a lot more where that came from that could be tapped to help win election. Just how much more is not certain. Rauner has never run for office and has not publicly disclosed personal financial data. He said his net worth is in the "hundreds of millions of dollars," and he will highlight dozens of his investments in coming days. He is expected to file his nominating petitions in Springfield on Monday, the first day for hopefuls to make their campaigns official. Illinois has known its share of political hopefuls with deep pockets, but Rauner is surely one of the wealthiest ever to seek statewide office. His chief rivals for the Republican nomination are expected to be state Treasurer Dan Rutherford and state Sens. Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale and Bill Brady of Bloomington. On the campaign trail,cheap Saints jerseys, Rauner talks up his outdoors lifestyle, and his campaign Tumblr page brims with photos of the candidate holding shiny saltwater fish from his Florida excursions and posing with friends, rifles, downed pheasants, and hunting dogs on trips to his Western properties. Rauner said he likes recreational properties where he can practice land or water conservation. He often buys and pastes parcels together in areas he thinks are beautiful to "have an investment that appreciates over a 20- to 30-year period." That includes his property in Wyoming, he said, where he grows barley, alfalfa and winter wheat. When he takes his family West, they most often go to his New Moon Ranch in Livingston, Mont., near Yellowstone National Park. It sits on hundreds of acres of grazing and cropland and includes a nearly 6,000-square-foot home, according to property records. It has five bedrooms and four baths and is currently valued by the Park County, Mont., assessor at $2.2 million. In the winter, Rauner and his wife,cheap Saints jerseys china, Diana, have their pick of both hot and cold weather getaways. For snow sports they have a condominium in the luxury Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, east of Salt Lake City, purchased in 2003 and currently valued by the assessor there at $1.75 million. The Rauners also own an oceanfront home in Key Largo, Fla., currently worth almost $7 million, according to property records there. It has a private boat dock, four bedrooms,D.C. to host 2016 ACC Men's Basketball Tournament, four baths, 5,370 square feet of ground-floor living space and a patio nearly half that size. The Rauners also have a New York penthouse on Central Park in a century-old Beaux Arts style building known as The Prasada. They paid $10 million for it eight years ago. A billionaire neighbor recently put the adjoining penthouse up for sale and is asking $48 million, according to realty postings. In Illinois,HAGERSTOWN, Md.- Md. judiciary makes 'courtroom behavior, Rauner holds title to three homes in Cook County, including two condominium units on East Randolph Street. Records show Rauner paid more than $1.2 million for the smaller unit in late 2008, where one of his daughters now lives. The Rauners bought the penthouse unit a couple of months earlier, in August 2008, for $4 million, according to county records. That was six months after Rauner contacted the office of then-Chicago schools CEO Arne Duncan about getting his youngest daughter into Walter Payton College Prep, among the city's elite public high schools. The contact was recorded on a list of special school requests made by VIPs, which the Tribune obtained. The Rauners still own their Winnetka house and consider it their primary residence. Its current market value is estimated at $3.3 million by the Cook County assessor's office. Rauner paid $64,337.84 in property taxes this year on the Winnetka house alone,cheap nike Saints jerseys, records show. That is nearly 20 percent greater than the median household income in Illinois of $51,738, according to 2012 data from the U.S. Census Bureau.</html>
