    Dylan Floro found his way back to Dodgers with chip on his shoulder, life on his fastball
    SAN DIEGO — Five times last season, right-hander Dylan Floro was promoted from Triple-A to the Chicago Cubs. And five times he was sent back to the minors.
    He made only three appearances for the Cubs. And, at the end of July when they needed room on their 40-man roster for their trade-deadline pickups, Floro was designated for assignment and the roller coaster stopped. He was claimed on waivers by the Dodgers and finished the season in Triple-A.

    Unlimited campaign spending by political parties is like legal money laundering
    For most Californians, the year-2000 Proposition 34 was little more than a meaningless formality. But not to politicians or political party officials.
    The 18-year-old initiative sets inflation-adjusted limits on what individuals and organizations can donate to candidates, ranging today from $4,400 for state legislative races to $29,200 for those running for governor. But there are no limits on giving to state and local political parties or how they can spend that money.
