By lupinaccim@aol.com (Maria)

1. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano named the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh a "National Special Security Event" (NSSE). What were the parameters of this event? When did it officially end? Did the event only extend to the secured areas around the convention center or did it include the Oakland neighborhood and the rest of Pittsburgh?

By Dan Hirschhorn, PolitickerPA.com Reporter

The parade of politicians performing on the presidential campaign continues. Before U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was dining with former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) got some help in the state from Pittsburgh native and current Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano.

In town for the Democratic National Committee's platform meeting this weekend, Napolitano stayed in her hometown Sunday to address labor leaders.
