November 18 is the 323rd day of the year. On this date in 1883, American and Canadian railroads institute five standard continental time zones, ending the confusion of thousands of local times.
* WFF: Deadline for submitting a film to the 2008 Wisconsin Film Festival is Dec. 1
* TCT: Proposals to buy emergency responder radios and freeze the sheriff's budget attracted crowds of supporters but still didn't make it into Dane County's $451 million operating budget, which the County Board approved Monday night.
* TCT: A committee created to revisit the idea of selling four historic properties in James Madison Park, including the land under one of the properties, came to a surprising conclusion Monday night by recommending the city not sell the land under the Lincoln School Apartments.
* Soglin: "If Republicans hang back, hoping to pin a tax increase on the Democrats, nothing will happen. If Democrats refuse to insist upon tax increases that are both progressive but also give consideration to Wisconsin's business environment, nothing will happen."
* CP: "The snow squalls over Lake Monona shortly after 11:00 A.M. looked cold and menacing. Gray clouds and damp chill made it very clear that November weather was really here, and about to make a statement."
* Madison A to Z: The best ingredients sandwiched on Johnson.
* Dane101 Department of Dealing With Hate Mail: If you haven’t been following the CDP saga that is Mike Crain & His Roving Cavalcade of Psychopaths, allow me to catch you up as quickly as possible.
