 Dick and Arnold Face the Awful Anti-Educators ~ Issue Nov 12, 03
Arduin, who Oropeza and the committee well knew had to be at a noon meeting with the governor, was made to wait an hour and 15 minutes as Oropeza encouraged the committee to ask endless questions of Elizabeth Hill.
Arduin had put in a request to Oropeza that she be allowed to make her presentation in time for her meeting with Schwarzenegger.
Her testimony had been so short that TV crews chased Arduin down a hallway hungry for quotes, and one journalist smashed into Arduin in the crush, splashing a cup of water that Arduin was clutching all across Arduin's dress front.

 The Bond Buyer: The Daily Newspaper of Public Finance
Donna Arduin told the Assembly committee that the mega-bond is the plan B the state needs should the courts bar California from issuing $10.7 billion of non-voter-approved fiscal recovery bonds to help repay $14 billion in short-term borrowing coming due in June.
Arduin and Angelides appeared at hearings of the Senate and Assembly budget committees during a special session, as state lawmakers race against a Dec. 5 deadline to decide whether or not to approve the bond referendum and a spending cap question in time for the measures to appear on the March ballot.
Arduin said the GO bonds would have longer maturities than the proposed $10.7 billion in deficit bonds now tied up in court and would allow the state to lock in lower interest rates.

 PROFILE: Donna Arduin / Schwarzenegger's adviser hits the books / Appointee probes state's finances using vacation time
Arduin, 40, has spent the past 11 years working in state budget offices in Michigan, New York and Florida for Republican governors who have pledged to balance the books by cutting spending and not raising taxes.
But Arduin has yet to meet with either the legislative analyst's office, which conducts its own independent review of the budget, or the controller's office, which is normally in charge of state audits.
Woodworth said she talked to Arduin as she was packing to come to California, and her former protege said it was an opportunity too good to pass up.

Arduin didn't endear herself to the members when, at one point, she slipped and referred to the state as Florida,”where she worked as budget chief for Jeb Bush until coming into Schwarzenegger's employ.

 just a note for the arduin fans - HERO GAMES Discussion Boards
Arduin had the first critical hit system for DandD, which we used til we found Arms Law and adopted its system...
Arduin was for those people who felt a 16th level wizard was "kinda wimpy" and that an invisible two handed dancing vorpal sword was keen - in other words, it extended, the um, "bleeding edge" of DandD (so to speak).
That was taken from the foreword of the Revised Arduin.

Arduin (The Arduin Grimoire) was an early "DandD variant" (aka it was extra material for DandD that claimed to be an entirely separate game) created by Dave Hargrave.
The original Arduin were a set of books written as sort of unofficial DandD add-ons like critical hit charts, wack spells and monsters.
Arduin was absolutely great, but it required a group that was either all kiddie-munchkin (go for the power) or all very mature (get the positively acid-trippy nuances).
