Senators Baldwin along with Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), and Representatives Mark Pocan (D-Wisc.) and Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), have reintroduced the Stop Wall Street Looting Act, a comprehensive bill to fundamentally reform the private equity industry and level the playing field by forcing private investment firms to take responsibility for the outcomes of companies they take over, empowering workers, and protecting investors. Joining the lawmakers in introducing the legislation are Senators Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) along with Representatives Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) and Jesús "Chuy" García (D-Ill.).
“Out of state, private equity firms have shut down Wisconsin manufacturing plants and stores and laid off our workers in Janesville, Waukesha and Green Bay. We need to rip up the predatory playbook that these private equity firms are using to leave workers with nothing but pink slips,” said Senator Baldwin. “Our legislation takes on private equity abuse and closes loopholes that these firms are using to make a quick buck while they shut down businesses and lay off workers. This bold reform will help rewrite the rules of our economy and protect workers from predatory practices that are resulting in devastating job loss for working families.”
Senator Baldwin's Stop Wall Street Looting Act would fundamentally reform private equity by closing the legal, tax, and regulatory loopholes that allow private equity firms to capture all the rewards of their investments while insulating themselves from risk. Firms that take appropriate steps in the interest of the company, the fund, and workers, will continue to make investments. Specifically, her bill would:
Require Private Investment Funds to Have Skin in the Game: Firms, the firm’s general partners, and their insiders will share responsibility for the liabilities of companies under their control – including debt, legal judgments and pension-related obligations – to better align the incentives of private equity firms and the companies they own. Liability would not extend to the fund’s limited partners, ensuring that only those that control portfolio firms are on the hook. In order to encourage more responsible use of debt, the bill ends the tax subsidy for excessive leverage and closes the carried interest loophole.
End Looting of Portfolio Companies: To give portfolio companies a shot at success, the proposal bans dividends to investors and the outsourcing of jobs for two years after a firm is acquired – ending the extraction of resources from acquired companies.
Protect Workers, Customers, and Communities: This proposal prevents private equity firms from walking away when a company fails and protects stakeholders by:
Prioritizing worker pay in the bankruptcy process, and improving rules so workers are more likely to receive severance, pensions, and other payments they earned.
Creating incentives for job retention so that workers can benefit from a company's second chance.
Ending the immunity of private equity firms from legal liability when their portfolio companies break the law, including the WARN Act. When workers at a plant are shortchanged or residents at a nursing home are hurt because private equity firms force portfolio companies to cut corners, the firm should be liable.
Clarifying that gift cards are consumer deposits, ensuring their priority in bankruptcy.
Empower Investors by Increasing Transparency: Private equity managers will be required to disclose fees, returns, and other information about their funds so that investors can monitor their investments and shop around.
Require Regulators to Address Risky Leverage: The Dodd-Frank provisions that require arrangers of corporate debt securitization to retain some risk will be reinstated

Out of Sight, Not Out of Mind - Chapter 1: Accomodation
Synopsis: While Mane 6 are on a research mission in a small town from another world called 'Earth', they learn about an old myth among the inhabitants: the Slender Man. What is the ugly truth of this haunted town? Will they survive the monster's deadly grasps?
A loud thud was heard. Mane six found themselves in what seemed like a small, dark room. The space felt tight between them.
“Wh…Where are we?” Twilight asked, blindly struggling to make her way through her friends’ limbs. “Girls, are you here?”
“Yeah, Twilight. Kinda crushed, but fine” Rainbow Dash confirmed. “Better ask, what are we? Because I don’t feel myself at this moment…”
“Let me see if there’s a way out…” Twilight’s limbs felt weird when she moved, like she was on sticks; with all her efforts, she touched something that seemed like a door knob. Her new members made it difficult to open the door and get out, but she finally managed. The unicorn tripped and fell on the floor; it felt rough.
“This is strange…” she muttered.
Meanwhile, Rarity rose to stand on her feet and turned around to look in the mirror. When she saw her reflection, she gasped in awe. She wasn’t a pony anymore, but a being with two long legs and other two members with…claws? Her skin was a light shade of peach instead of white and her face was totally different, she noted as she patted it; it lacked the nuzzle, but there were other new features instead. Rarity descended her upper extremities to the chest and squeezed the two mounds of flesh on it. This felt even weirder to her.
“What are those?” she asked, completely puzzled by the sight of her new body parts.
“I don’t know, let me see if there’s a library…Ah, here we go…” Twilight replied. She struggled to rise from the floor and stand up while approaching the small bookshelves in the wall near her; squinting her now small eyes at the titles, she noticed a book titled: “Imaging Atlas of Human Anatomy by Jonathan D. Spratt & Co.”. Twilight stared at the book for a second, then tried to pick it up with her little long ‘branches’.
“Sweet Celestia, how can I even open it without magic? Or at least a nuzzle…”
After a while, she finally figured it out; she had to pick two of her bony extremities in order to turn the pages of the book. Twilight took a look on each of the pages with beautifully-colored illustrations and essential information about this weird species called ‘human’…species to which she and her friends belonged at this moment, it seemed.
“Girls, I found something! We are some beings called…humans. Seems like they’re the inhabitants of Earth. And that’s what the princess meant when she said that ‘we’ll blend in’ “
“Humans? What kind of sorcery is this?” Rainbow Dash pointed out.
“Well, get over here if you wanna know more! Here, let me show you how humans walk…”
Twilight applied the new theories on her friends, and taught them how to walk and keep their balance while standing up. The six girls spent the entire night doing research on the humans’ complicated anatomy, structure and customs.They learnt that the long extremities that grew out of their ‘hooves’ are called ‘fingers’, and that they have many uses, like picking up objects and writing. They also learnt about the physiology of the human body, like its stages of development: baby, child, teenager, adult and elder. From what Twilight read, she placed herself and the others in the ‘teenager’ category, considering that wrinkles weren’t present on their faces, and they looked too mature to be children.
“How old are we, I wonder?” she asked. “If we are teenagers, it seems that we also study in a school or something. Right?”
“I suppose, darling” Rarity shrugged. “Why not ask the locals about it?”
“Not yet…” Twilight murmured. “I don’t think it’s safe for us to go out for now. There has to be brochure or something with information about this town.” She spoke while searching through the shelves. “I don’t even know where we live, to be honest!”
Meanwhile, someone was knocking at the door. The girls panicked and and started hiding around the apartment. Only Twilight approached the entrance door and looked through the peephole; she saw an old female human that seemed quite harmless, even well-intentioned.
“Hello? Is anybody there?” the woman asked with a soft voice.
“Um, yes?” Twilight replied.
“I heard a young girl moved in our complex and I wanted to give her a warm welcome…I even brought something sweet for her; I hoped she would be home”
Twilight quickly opened the door and stood in front of the old lady. She had greyish white hair tied in a bun; this hairstyle pinpointed her glimmering brown eyes that were surrounded by deep wrinkles and eyebags. Still, her expression gave a hint of kindness in her heart. The woman wore a perriwinkle angle-length dress with a white ruffled apron over it. She held a tray with a big pie in her small and wrinkled hands.
“Oh, you must be miss Tara Sparkle, right?” she asked while pinching one of Twilight’s cheeks.
“Uh, yes, I guess…” the young girl answered, puzzled that the human had addressed her with another name.
“You guess? Ahahaha! Youngsters nowadays and their odd sense of humor!” the old lady chuckled.
“Um, excuse me, ma’am, but what school for teenagers is in this area?” Twilight interrupted.
“Oh, you mean highschool, sweetheart? You must be new here…Welcome to Waukesha, by the way! The nearby highschool that you’re asking about is Waukesha South High School, dear! It’s a few meters from here. I’m sure you’ll find it easily, you’re a smart girl, from what I see…”
Twilight noticed a hint of irony in the old woman’s sayings, but she decided to ignore it.
“Well, thank you for the information, miss…” “…Abigail. Abigail Wilson. But you can call me miss Abby, my dear!” the woman added with a smile on her face. “Oh, almost forgot! Here is your pie! Hope you like it, and have a great time, sweetie! Good night!”
“Um, thank you…You as well!” the teenager replied while taking the tray. She smiled at miss Abby, then closed the door slowly.
“So, who was at the door?” Rainbow Dash asked, dumbfounded by their conversation at the doorstep.
“One of my neighbours. Yeah…” Twilight sighed, while putting the pie on the kitchen table. “Seems like we’re students at Waukesha South High School or something”
“Wau-what? Woah, this must be a secluded place in this world…”
“It might be, who knows? What time is it, by the way?”
Pinkie Pie looked at the clock on the wall. “It’s eight o’clock…”
“…In the evening.” Fluttershy pointed out while looking through the window. “What’s the date though?”
“Is there a calendar? Oh, right; it’s Sunday, 21st May…We can go tomorrow then” Twilight replied.
“Where are we gonna stay, sugarcube?” Applejack asked.
“Here, I suppose…” Twilight said with uncertainty. “Please, make yourselves at home!”
Say no more; Rainbow Dash already started looking for food, and found nothing more than a few tomatoes in the fridge and five bread slices in the cupboard.
“Aww, that’s all we’ve got to eat? Bummer!”
“I’ll buy more tomorrow, after I finally figure out how humans’ system works.” Twilight explained while rifling through another book that she just found in the bookshelves: ‘Life in the USA, by Planaria J. Price and Euphronia Awakuni’
Two hours passed and the girls already fell asleep one by one, except Twilight, who was still reading information about the human society. She was eager to find out more about this entirely new species, and she couldn’t stop just now.
“A little less sleep won’t kill anyone, so let’s dig deeper into all of this…” she said to herself while continuing her studies.
*Next day*
A rooster’s cry sounded in the distance, which woke up Twilight despite her tireness, and she startled, suddenly realising that it was morning and she had to go to school. She watched the clock in deep shock.
“Girls, wake up, it’s half past seven!”
“Mph, what the heck is so important today, Twilight?” Rainbow Dash muttered, visibly annoyed by her friend’s call.
“It’s a school day. Good morning sunshine!” Twilight ironically whispered in her ear. She furiously draped the curtains.
“Ugh, sweet Celestia!” RD screamed in ‘agony’, blinded by the light outside.
The others woke up slowly to the noise, completely confused. It took a while for everyone to get ready and Twilight grew impatient with each minute.
“Come on, we’re going to be late!”
“Be patient, darling! Nobody will kill you if you’re five minutes late…” Rarity said, trying to comfort her.
“Unless it’s the very first class…and it’s been more than five minutes!”
“Calm down, egghead. We’re ready to go now!” Rainbow Dash pointed out. “Though, I don’t have any books with me…”
“I’ll just take three books and these papers over here for now” Twilight replied while grabbing said pieces of paper.“Took the key, let’s go!”
Almost everyone got outside, except Twilight, who struggled to lock the door with her new assets called ‘hands’.
“What is it now, Twilight?” Rainbow Dash yelled from downstairs.
“I don’t know how to lock this thing…Just a second”
“Let me show you, sweetheart” a voice offered from behind. It was her neighbour, miss Abby.
“Goodness, it was you, ma’am!” Twilight startled. “Please do…”
“Alright, so you use your fingers like this and then you rotate like this…” miss Abby explained patiently. “Are your locks different than ours?”
“Not really. Only the way of locking doors is…quite different.”
“Ah, I see. Here you go” the old lady nodded, then gave her the key. “Have a nice day at school, dear!”
“Thank you!” the youngster replied while heading downstairs.
*at the school courtyard*
“Here we are! Wow, this is nothing like what is in Equestria…it’s more grey in the surroundings” Twilight pointed out.
“So, which one is our class, Twilight?” Pinkie asked in excitement. “I can’t wait to meet my new classmates and make new friends!”
“Be patient, we have to ask the principal first. They must have one, right?”
“There’s only one way to find out. Come on!” Rainbow Dash called out to her friends.
The school hallways were definitely duller and less colourful than the equestrian schools, but at least there were a few strange ‘colour patches’ that lightened the halls, and way larger than any other school they had ever seen before. Twilight was astonished by the organised atmosphere of the high school, and she was eager to discover more.
“So, does anybody know where’s the principal’s office or something?” Rainbow Dash asked, interrupting Twilight’s current state of trance. “Or lemme see if one of these people do” she continued while going to a group of students.
“Um, hey, we’re new here, and we need to see the principal. Can you give me and my friends some directions please?”she asked to a long-haired brunette dressed casually, who seemed pretty nice.
“Welcome!” the girl greeted with a broad smile. “Well, the principal’s office is not too far, just turn to the left and you’ll find it in no time; the door actually has a sign on it, and it can be easier to find. Good luck!”
“Thank you lots! See you later” Rainbow Dash replied, completely satisified on the inside. “Yes, it was too easy! Come on girls, to the left!”

Craftsman Style Bathroom – Warm And Welcoming
The use of natural colors, wood trim and traditional-looking fixtures gives this new bathroom an honest period feel.
Traditional, intimate designs make a Craftsman home appealing and that includes a Craftsman style bathroom. Waukesha WI and the surrounding area is dotted with these rustic styles. And, they are favorite targets for remodeling to bring them back to their period attraction.
A Craftsman home, as the name suggests, is marked by personal touches, natural beauty and simplicity. They are sometimes described as rustic, sometimes classic and even “woodsy.” However you define a Craftsman home, it is highlighted by hand-crafted quality and simple, natural materials throughout – including its bathrooms.
While the Craftsman style brings back a bygone age, today’s upgrades include the latest technology in a timeless design.
Create A ‘New Old’ In A Craftsman Style Bathroom
Also known as American Arts & Crafts style, a home décor fitting the Craftsman label is likely to include:
Hand-made, richly colored tile
Natural wood molding and trim
An “earthy” nature-inspired color palette throughout
Shaker-style vanities
Warm, dark metal fixtures and hardware
Natural materials with “character” like wood, stone and copper
Create added depth and warmth to your Craftsman style bathroom by using natural stone, wood, soft lighting and earth-tone paint.
A true Craftsman bathroom reflects a natural appeal with a refined touch. A Craftsman bathroom is simple not purely “minimalist.”
What aren’t you likely to see in a true Craftsman creation:
Bright colors
Cutting-edge, ultra-modern fixtures
Shiny bright metal or a lot of glass
Curving, shapes
Mix-and-match use of materials and finishes
Spend Time With Bathroom Design Details
Tile is one of the hottest elements in the building and remodeling realm and the creative use of tile is basic to Craftsman designs. Hand-made tiles in particular reflect the historic, hand-crafted nature of the design school. Bathroom tile applications regularly include:
Simple, rectangular and square tiles in rich, natural colors.
Tile for walls and floors
Hand-painted tiles as accents
Another basic element of the style is the use of wood. Natural wood is a hallmark of the Craftsman. The creative use of wood is found in various ways, including:
Stained vanities, trim and molding
Dark to medium tones are popular
Custom cabinetry and bathtub surrounds
Large framing around windows, doors, mirrors, etc.
Craftsman styling does not have to look like a cabin in the woods – the use of natural stone, wood, soft lighting and earth-tone paint does the trick.
Keeping with the natural theme, stone is also a common décor basic. Stone can be found in various forms, including:
Countertops
Floors
Wall treatments
“Earthy” tones in granite, slate, quartzite and soapstone are popular options. Natural stone is an ideal mix with custom wood cabinetry and soft lighting.
Lighting associated with the Craftsman interior tends to be soft and warm. Wall fixtures made to look like lanterns or period styles are popular. Recessed lighting that provides an even glow throughout the bathroom are excellent choices.
A more unusual touch common to the style is the use of stained glass. Stained glass windows add decorative appeal while increasing privacy in the bathroom. Rather than changing existing windows, it’s possible to use a stained glass panel to accent a clear window.
Special Touches For Your Bathroom Renovation
The basic construction materials in your new bathroom set the stage, but additional interior design elements provide finishing touches. The blend of natural materials with accent colors makes a huge difference. Paint colors for a true Craftsman look include:
Rich earth tones like Chestnut, bark, stone sienna and ochre – every paint manufacturers has its own name for hues in this range.
Earth-tone greens – sage, moss, olive, etc.
Warm neutral hues – cream, parchment, beige, taupe, etc.
The palette of colors is pulled from that natural surroundings. The colors of pine trees, rich earth, rocks and sand. Matte finishes are common for tile to keep with the natural, no shine, look. Matte finishes are more subtle and subdues and enhance the overall appearance of the bathroom.
In keeping with the historic heritage of the design style, Shaker-style vanities and cabinets are a popular choice. There’s a solid Shaker influence in a lot of Wisconsin-oriented architecture and interior design.
Bathroom Sink And Faucet Choices
Reflecting the resources of the early 20th century, Craftsman style fixtures are simple, basic. A pedestal sink, for example, is a staple of the design for guest bathrooms and powder rooms. However, modern double sinks are easily fit into the style.
Chrome faucets have been popular for almost 100 years, replacing earlier designs because they are easier to clean and less expensive. However, modern technology brings back the older designs and basic material with new finishes that also require less maintenance.
Faucet options include:
Nickel – it can be brushed, hammered or polished for a shine of matte finish. It is warmer than chrome and goes well with earth tones like orange, green and brown. Brushed nickel is sometimes called pewter. Brushed nickel is the best choice for a low-maintenance installation because it resists tarnishing better than a polished surface.
Rubber bronze – an oil-rubbed surface that is dark, rich and durable. On the high-end of the price scale.
Brass – a truly traditional look that works with a modern sink or period installation. Ideal when there’s a lot of natural elements in the bathroom. Available in polished, brushed or hammered surface treatment.
Oiled bronze – provides a unique, dark and rich appearance. A durable metal it is among the most expensive choices.
Copper – copper fixtures are unique and make a statement. However they require more maintenance than some other choices. Left untouched they will develop a natural green patina as they age – for some an attraction, for others this looks like corrosion.
Custom finishes – there are fixture choices ranging from a matte black finish to pure white. Combination of metal fixtures with colored handles – the old-school farmhouse faucet for example – fit the style nicely.
Create A Craftsman Style Bathroom – Work With The Pros

SHARE THIS SHARE THIS Skimm for February 27th Skimm’d in robes QUOTE OF THE DAY “A text message sent while drunk” - How Oxford Dictionaries defines “drunk text.” Thanks for the clarity. Skimm This PLOT TWIST THE STORY Last night was the Oscars. “Moonlight” won best picture. “La La Land” did not. WHAT HAPPENED? Bonnie and Clyde had the wrong envelope, and announced “La La Land” as best picture. The film’s team came out for their speech. Then…never mind. “Moonlight” was the real winner. Host Jimmy Kimmel blamed Steve Harvey, then himself. PwC - the accounting firm that oversees the ballots - apologized for the not-so-classic mix-up and said they’re investigating what happened. WHAT ELSE HAPPENED? Kimmel - aka the Candy Man - spared no one in his opening monologue. Not even Meryl. Definitely not Mel. And he’s still not friends with Matt Damon. A bus load of tourists got punked. Things got political, too. Kimmel thanked President Trump for taking the spotlight away from that time “it seemed like the Oscars were racist.” Then he did some live tweeting. Meanwhile, the audience had all the feels during the In Memoriam part of the show. Jennifer Aniston - who introduced the segment - got choked up while talking about Bill Paxton, the actor who passed away at age 61 due to surgery complications the day before. WHO WON? “Moonlight” took home best picture and best adapted screenplay. “La La Land” director Damien Chazelle is now the youngest best director winner ever. Mahershala Ali became the first Muslim actor to win an Oscar. Emma Stone, Casey Affleck, and Viola Davis picked up the other acting awards. Iranian director Asghar Farhadi won for best foreign film, but boycotted the show to protest Trump’s travel ban. WHO WON THE RED CARPET? Viola Davis and Naomi Harris brought the heat. The artist formerly known as The Rock was feeling blue. Emma Stone, Nicole Kidman, and Jessica Biel channeled Oscar gold. WHO DIDN’T? Casey Affleck officially, officially needs to shave. Dakota Johnson brought her Victorian apron. theSKIMM For a while it looked like the Oscars were going to be pretty predictable…and predictably looooong. Instead, it ended with one of the biggest plot twists in Hollywood history. Skimm This REPEAT AFTER ME... WHAT TO SAY WHEN THE PERSON CUTTING YOUR HAIR KEEPS FROWNING... Yeah, this isn’t going to work out. Yesterday, President Trump’s pick for secretary of the US Navy, Philip Bilden, pulled his name from the running. That’s because he didn’t think his business ties would pass an ethics review. He’s the third of Trump’s nominees to drop out, after labor nominee Andy Puzder and Army secretary nominee Vincent Viola both bowed out in recent weeks. Who’s also been shown the door? Some members of the media. Last week, the Trump administration blocked several media outlets (CNN, The New York Times, Politico) from an off-camera briefing with Press Secretary Sean Spicer. This is not normal. It’s unclear why these outlets were banned. But this comes as the White House has been pretty open about how unhappy it is with media coverage of Team Trump’s alleged ties to Russia. Then, over the weekend, President Trump said he’ll sit out this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner - the one where the press, the president, and a comedian roast each over lots of champagne. Trump’s the first president in decades to RSVP ��no’ to the event. So…not getting warmer. Skimm This WHAT TO SAY TO YOUR FRIEND WHO JUST GOT HER FIFTH SPEEDING TICKET... So you think you’re a NASCAR driver? Yesterday, Kurt Busch won the Daytona 500. It’s like the Super Bowl for race car fans, except it kicks-off the start of racing season. After years of viewership taking a deep dive, NASCAR tried to amp up the excitement by having drivers race the 500 miles in three stages - instead of one long turn ’round and ’round the track. The change-up was supposed to make things more dramatic. Yesterday’s race involved multiple crashes, including a 16-car wreck. And Busch eked out the win in the final lap. Drama? Check. Skimm This WHAT TO SAY WHEN YOUR TEAM GOES ON AN OFFSITE... The Dems spent the weekend doing trust falls too. They elected former labor secretary Tom Perez to be the new DNC chairman. He was in a tough race against Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) - who was the guy supported by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). After Perez won, he tapped Ellison to be his right-hand man. TBD on whether they’ll have the deeply divided party singing kumbaya. Skimm This SKIMM MONEY ROL: Stands for return on life.
