Chicago fast-food, retail workers join in nationwide protest over wages
BY STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporter December 5, 2013 9:56AM
Updated: January 7, 2014 6:25AM
A nose-numbing cold greeted about 200 striking fast-food and retail workers downtown Thursday, as they protested wages so low they say they often need public assistance to make ends meet.
Clustered around a giant, bright green "Grinch," the protesters — part of a "100-city strike wave"— are demanding a $15-an-hour wage and the right to form a union without retaliation.
"Chicago is a union town!" they chanted outside Snarf's Sandwiches, 600 W. Chicago, one of several stops during a planned daylong demonstration in the city.
The group was expected to include workers from McDonald's, Subway, CVS Pharmacy, Sears — among other companies.
"I have no problem making wages that are appropriate to my work, but it's impossible to live on the wages we make," explained Kait Ziegler, an actor and freelance writer who also works part-time at Snarf's, making $9.50 an hour.
Ziegler, who lives in a one-bedroom apartment in Andersonville, added: "Certain people seem so upset that we're asking for more because I suppose that service workers, to some people, should stay at the very bottom."
But Scott DeFife, a spokesman for the Washington, D.C.-based National Restaurant Association, said in a prepared statement that the protesters are part of "a coordinated PR campaign engineered by national labor groups where the vast majority of participants are activists and paid demonstrators."
The protesters' demands aren't good for the economy, DeFife said.
"The restaurant industry has been one of the few industries that continued to create jobs during the recession and economic recovery, offering opportunities to hundreds of thousands of new workers over the past couple of years," he said. "Dramatic increases in a starting wage such as those called for in these rallies will challenge that job growth history, increase prices for restaurant meals, especially in the value segments and lead to fewer jobs created."
The protesters say that the Chicago area is home to about 275,000 low-wage fast food and retail workers. They cite studies that say a single-parent supporting one child would need at least $21 an hour to survive living in the city.
Similar strikes were planned for Thursday in Los Angeles, New York, Boston and Denver, among other cities. The "Fight for 15" campaign started last year and spread nationally after 200 low-wage workers went on strike in New York.
A representative from Snarf's could not immediately be reached for comment.

Managing Pathways to Convergence in the Life Sciences Industry
In the life sciences industry, convergence is defined as the integration of two or more core technologies (diagnostics, devices, and/or drugs*) to create an improved health care product.
Life sciences firms are moving beyond traditional industry boundaries to create new health care solutions for patients and providers. By combining life sciences' core technologies (diagnostics, devices, and drugsa) in innovative ways, firms are creating new technology platforms and products that offer improvements in safety, effectiveness, convenience, and value. These convergent solutions are also providing life sciences companies with new avenues for innovation, growth, and differentiation in markets characterized by increasing competition, R&D stagnation, expanding consumer demand, and pressure from payers to reduce health care costs.
Life sciences leaders considering convergence must make several strategic decisions in choosing and managing the convergence pathway. In this paper, we highlight various examples of convergence in the life sciences industry, identify the driving forces behind the convergence trend, and discuss the pathways to convergence that are seen in the marketplace today. We propose alternatives for investing in convergence under different scenarios of technological uncertainty, as well as strategies for choosing a specifi c convergence pathway, managing successful cross-sector partnerships and alliance networks, and addressing regulatory challenges.
The convergence of drugs, devices, and diagnostics is leading to innovative health care solutions and new opportunities for business growth and product differentiation in the life sciences industry.
Examples of Convergence
Device – Drug
• Drug-eluting stent that opens and prevents restenosis in coronary and peripheral arteries
• Bone grafting scaffold/sponge coated with a growth protein that promotes bone regeneration
• Implantable, programmable pump that delivers a drug or biologic in small, timely doses
• Implantable polymer wafer that releases a chemotherapy agent to a specifi c site
• Implantable neuromodulator that enables the targeted, regulated delivery of a drug or electrical stimulation
• Transdermal patch that transports drugs locally and systematically through the skin
• Pre-fi lled, metered dose syringe, injector pen, or inhaler
Diagnostic – Drug
• Screening test for the presence of a specifi c gene or protein coupled with targeted drug therapy
• Use of passive pharmaceuticals and radiopharmaceutical tracers as contrast agents for positron emission tomography (PET) scanners
Diagnostic – Device – Drug
• Glucose monitor with an insulin pump
*) In this report, the term "drug" is used to refer to any chemically- or biologically-based substance that is used for medicinal purposes. Both pharmaceuticals and biologics are implied by the term.
About the report
To realize the promise and value of convergence, firms will have to move beyond traditional industry boundaries, resolve technological uncertainties, and learn to operate within a network of companies that have substantively different business models, product life cycles, organizational structures, and corporate cultures. If life sciences fi rms can overcome these challenges, convergence seems certain to become a signifi cant driver of innovation, growth, and improvement in health care delivery and outcomes. Since most convergent technologies are in various stages of incubation and development, it is premature to estimate the impact convergence will have on industry growth and health care costs. However, early examples suggest that convergence has tremendous potential to drive new business opportunities and meet consumer demand for safer, more effective health care solutions.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Federal health officials now say five people may have died from Legionnaires disease at Pittsburgh-area VA hospitals over the last two years, not the one death previously reported.
U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., says that information at a hearing Tuesday of the House Veterans Affairs Committee revealed major breakdowns at the VA hospitals. Murphy says that raises new questions about whether the outbreak could have been prevented.
U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pa., had also pushed for the hearing.
The VA says the hospital has had 29 Legionnaires' cases since January 2011, including the five announced last November. Eight more cases were traced to bacteria in the hospitals water.
The hospital's water treatment process has since been revamped.

Easy Decor Ideas for Apartment Rental
Have you ever imagined living in the comfort of your home and then moving to an apartment? That's not always an easy task, but add an exciting city like San Francisco and you might change your mind and starting packing for a new adventure! This is exactly what my friend, the interior designer and blogger, Mary Ann Pickett, from Classic Casual Home blog, did when her husband had his job transferred to this beautiful city.
Mary Ann found a charming but slightly outdated 1920s high-rise, and since this was going to be a rental, Mary Ann had to get really creative to make this apartment feel like her own. The first thing was getting permission to paint the walls, from dated peachy walls to classic off-white that serve as a canvas for her to display her beautiful furniture and decor pieces, while framing the gorgeous views of the bay.
Even the kitchen in this apartment was transformed and updated with gray paint (Mary Ann used the very popular "Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter HC-172) on cabinets and added some decorative pieces that are easy to reduplicate at home.
If you're also moving to an apartment and need to find easy decor ideas for your rental, I can't imagine another place more inspiring than Mary Ann's. Take a look at these "Before and After" pictures to see how talented this incredible interior designer is!
Easy Decor Ideas for Apartment Rental
It's easy to fall in love with an apartment with a view like that! I am happy for you, Mary Ann!
Foyer "Before"
The apartment had great bones with beautiful architectural details but it needed a color palette that could complement them. Mary Ann knew exactly what to do…
Foyer "After"
The interior designer painted all the walls in "Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17″ to brighten up the apartment. The foyer now feels classy and elegant.
Rug is from "Restoration Hardware".

The sofa is a custom piece.
Rug is from "Restoration Hardware".
You can find some unexpected soothing colors through decor and natural flowers.
Kitchen "Before"
The 1980′s kitchen cabinets were pickled pink. Attractive? Nah… But there's a hope for everything when Mary Ann enter the room! Yes, I can picture her with a super-hero cape too!
Kitchen "After"
Ta-Dah! Take another look at the "Before" picture! Isn't it amazing what some paint can do to outdated kitchen cabinets? This kitchen feels fresh, neutral and more modern!
This is the view Mary Ann has from her freshly painted kitchen!

What a gorgeous look!

- Perfect after show RestoWilliamBDined on 9/27/2014Enjoyed a delicious meal with super service after the opera. We will be back!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not ToquéSandraVIPDined on 9/26/2014Si vous pensez retrouver un peu de la qualité du Toqué, vous vous trompez. Cet endroit bien situé dans le quartier des spectacles n'a de bien que son site. Cuisine de type bistrot qui laisse à désirer . Les bourgaux à l'ail, vous arrivent au gratin .Vous voulez un tartare relevé, il le sera avec le vinaigre des câpres . On y retourne non.Special Features:
- ExcellentPillullaDined on 9/22/2014I loved the food and the environment. Good option for a dinner in Montreal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always greatMaryseDined on 9/17/2014Pre theatre favorite. Service is courteous and efficient without being rushed. Food always top notch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceLarryVIPDined on 9/13/2014It's a long narrow box of a restaurant that does look like a shipping container gone upscale next to a museum. Fun unless you're claustrophobic. Service was excellent -- with special attention to dietary restrictions. We chose a nightly special for two that was a feast of grilled beef with French fries, salad and ears of roasted corn. Excellent mojitos and a nice list of wine by the glass.
- Great before a showvivelabouffeDined on 8/29/2014The salmon was excellent and we appreciated the wine by the glass.Special Features:
- Good bistro fareDonnaVIPDined on 8/26/2014Had a flank steak and frites. Service was quite slow. Tasty food, a little on the salty side. Great location if you are going to see a show at Place des Arts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/26/2014The menu was 'okay' but not more than that. I had two out of town guests and wanted to bring them to a lunch spot in Le Quartier des Spectacles, which was close to our offices. This one had been suggested to me based on its proximity. I would say that the food was fine, but would have expected a more diverse menu, with a wider range of salad and sandwich options. The service was great though. Very friendly and efficient wait staff.Special Features:
- Dinner with friendsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014We went to brasserie t before our musical and it was good! We had good service, good food and a good selection. Would recommend to a friend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodFullstomachDined on 8/12/2014Our party of 6 enjoyed the food. The oysters were excellent. Appetizers ranging from the escargots to gaspacho soup and salad were all very good. . The mushroom with egg was particularly good. For main meals the steak and the salmon tartare were a hit but the shrimp quedilla was not well received. The Paris Brest for dessert was fantastic. The place is noisy but the service was friendlyI would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food and good servicesVito3255Dined on 8/9/2014We were at the restaurant on Saturday and stay in the patio. Our waiter was Jules and he was good and very nice waiter. We had most of the foods from the appetizer to the dessert that recommended by him. We enjoyed very much and for sure that we will come back.Special Features:

- On the street, for realAlainDined on 8/2/2014Location of this restaurant is very unusual... it's installed in the middle of a sidewalk in the entertainment district in Montreal. Food is good, and the wine list is complete. Not too expensive for what you get and, based on our experience, we will go back there without hesitation.Special Features:
- More than a BrasserieClapieDined on 8/1/2014Location is just great in Downtown Montreal. Food are just great with the right size portion, need a little more choices . Wine is a little expensive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Un bon souper avant un spectacleOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/31/2014Très bon, cher et petite assiette. Le sondage aurait pu être disponible aussi en françaisSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too much hypeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/25/2014I had heard good things about this restaurant but the experience didn't live up to my expectations. The service and location are very good, but the food was not up to the standard we've come to appreciate in Montreal. Nothing we ate was terrible, but everything lacked balance in some way. The ribs were far too sweet, the tuna tartare had too much mustard seed in it and the sausage didn't have enough flavour.Special Features:
- Loved itPillullaDined on 7/24/2014I went to the restorant after a show and we concluded the niht in a terrific way, loved the food and the ambiance. It was noisy because of the just for laugh festival, but I loved it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb Ffod and good servicejenfoodie514Dined on 7/10/2014For those who are unsure about paying the big bucks to experience Toque restaurant, Brasserie T! is a good alternative and way to start your gastronomic adventure. Good wine list and competent staff! Had great time!Special Features:
- Nice foodSpyderrssDined on 7/6/2014Surprising food quality, good value, great wine list. Would recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- That seafood platterThomasDined on 7/4/2014Wonderful cold seafood platter, Sancerre, and a great view of the people at Jazz Fest made for a wonderful evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Post Concert GemAgodavaDined on 7/1/2014We stopped for dinner after a concert. Food was inventive and delicious. Wine prices were not steep. Good, friendly service. Recommend the fois gras. The salmon tarter is very good as well. Maybe could use a little less on the capers. Dessert and cheese were fine, but the creme brûlée could have used more texture. All in all, a very good meal in a hot scene. Bonus was a concert going on outdoors as we ate. This is truly a front row seat for the Montreal Jazz Festival.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Late night experience during JazzBird63Dined on 6/29/2014We went during jazzfest. The area was so crowded that we had trouble getting there. Reservation honored on time. Food was great(tartare de saumon) and service prompt and courteous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 621 reviews are from the Brasserie T! reviews archive.
- First and LastwinemavenVIPDined on 5/30/2014The food was delicious however service was indifferent and slow (surprising given the limited menu). And the noise level was deafening; it was impossible to have a conversation with the person seated across from me. In fact, the noise was so painful that two women at a table near us walked out. But there was no shortage of walk ins to take their place. As good as the food was, I would not return. Oh, and the restaurant told me that they were no longer participating in OpenTable.
- Excellent restaurant !AudreyVIPDined on 4/26/2014Très bon service et la nourriture était très très bonne, de qualité. L'ambiance aussi était très bien. Nous y retournerons.Special Features:
- Good supper before concertjohalfnoteDined on 4/26/2014I had wanted to try the restaurant for a while, but is hard to get a reservation before a concert. Finally I was successful. We enjoyed the meal overall. The service was fine, but not notable. My friend's burger and fries were not warm, so he was dissapppointed. My special po boy shrimp sandwich was excellent. Starters and desserts were very good. If the burger had been warm, he might have enjoyed the meal more, especially considering the price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always excellent!MadisonDined on 4/24/2014Fabulous food. Best salmon tartar in town. Vibrant location and atmosphere.Special Features:
- Everything you would expectMarco514Dined on 4/20/2014We met a couple of friends there for lunch and the menu and service were both very good. Classics on the menu and a few gems on the wine list. The food and service were perfectly executed. The vegetarian dish was stellar. We will be back!Special Features:
- great for lunchmtlboyDined on 4/17/2014Brought clients from out of town, and they all had a great experience. I've been many times now, and have never been disappointed.Special Features:
- pleasant little bistrojabbaDined on 4/13/2014food, service, and ambience were all very nice. I would definitely recommend and would return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun restaurant, esp on short noticedine4twoDined on 4/12/2014I booked a table for lunch the night before and I was surprised that I could get a reservation. The food was very good and we enjoyed how unique the restaurant was. It was very busy and they only had two main servers, with two other people helping out. So that is why I rated the service good. If it wasn't as busy I would assume that the servers would have been more attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FavoriteHeatherVIPDined on 4/11/2014Brasserie T is always a go to when we can't decide where we want to go on date night. The cocktail a la minute is always a win as well as the service. We have never been disappointed and will continue coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reliably excellentVicfoodieDined on 4/9/2014I have brunched and lunched several times at Brasserie T! and loved it every time. The food is superb including my favourite sous-vide salmon salad. Service is friendly and efficient. A must for every time we visit Montreal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It's been betterMTLDinerDined on 4/8/2014Although this is a restaurant I've been to numerous times (and recommended) my last visit was disappointing. On a cold Tuesday night, the place was nearly empty (we arrived around 7:30 pm): Seated my party of 2 at the last table in the back, near the kitchen/bathroom Waiter 1 not knowledgeable enough about meals/nightly offers Waiter 1 was not attentive at right time Waiter 1 mistakenly poured water into my drink, had to get attention of waiter 2 to call waiter 1, after quick chat he comes back with a new drink (minus alcohol) and puts it on our bill (not cool) Waiter 3 kept coming back to table, felt rushed (why? place is empty!) gave our plates even though we weren't finished Left a tip but won't be back or recommend anymore
- Belle découverteFelinazDined on 4/6/2014Architecture unique,très original,le local est entouré de vitres.Accueil sympa.Beau petit menu,pas trop de choix,c'est très bien ainsi.Ce soir-là il y avait un ceviche de pétoncles à se rouler par terre.Le service est courtois et très efficace.Belle clientèle.Bien situé dans le quartier des spectacles.Une adresse à retenir.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DivinLuckymonkeyDined on 4/3/2014Cela fait 2 fois que je vais à la Brasserie T et je n'ai jamais été déçu! Je n'ai rien à dire, sauf que la dernière fois que j'y suis allez, le service était relativement lent... Mais cela valait la peine, parce que la nourriture était exquise. Je fais y retourner c'est certain. J'ai bien hâte à l'été pour essayer leur terrasse :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great French BrasserieChristian27Dined on 4/1/2014Here is to my knowledge the first restaurant in Montreal using the concept of the French Brasserie, namely great food from a known chef at an affordable price. I had the best scallop ceviche ever, and the lamb was very good too. But the best was yet to come, the Paris Brest ! There is a good wine list and a good selection of wines by the glass. The service is friendly but not too much and the noise level is acceptable. Great place for a nice dinner right before a show.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Foie GrasPipingRockDined on 3/30/2014We ate here three night this past week ... the pan seared foie gras is probably some of the best we have ever had. I could go back for that alone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Popular and tastyPoppetDined on 3/30/2014This is a perfectly located restaurant to eat at if visiting Les Place des Arts. The food was delicious and filling and the service friendly and efficient. Would recommend booking in advance as it is a popular place and can get busy with visitors to the arts centre.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, meh serviceAmberSpyglassVIPDined on 3/29/2014Normally, I really enjoy Brasserie T! This time, it took ages for us to be acknowledged once we were seated (even though we confirmed that we had to get to a show). I always find it annoying when I have to stare down wait staff in order to get acknowledged. Other than that, the food was good, as always, and it remains one of my favourite places to go before a performance at PDA. I had the "saumon à l'aneth" with the fennel salad. It was a little heavy on the oil this time, but it is so yummy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

"I really liked these thank you notes because they were printed on fabulous paper and the colors were exactly what I wanted! My notes to my friends will be given in style!"
"Looks exactly like on the picture. The quality of the print and paper is great. So happy to be able to send thank-you cards matching my baby shower invitations."
"I ordered these thank you notes expecting them to arrive just a day or so before I needed them. They arrived a week earlier then planned. I am extremely pleased with the look and quality of these."
"It turned out better than I thought! I had them move the text box higher on the page and I changed the ultrasound picture to a color that better matched the card using their system. It makes it personal and makes everyone smile when they see it."
"i ordered the coordinating invitations for my sister's baby shower, so getting the thank you notes was a no brainer. they are so adorable! like the invitations, they are modern, whimsical, fun, and fit my sister's personality. the weight of the paper is heavy and the print quality is superb. i opted to personalize the envelopes, too. one less thing she will have to worry about! delivery was quicker than expected."

The time is fast approaching, and I can't wait. Forza Horizon 2 hits store shelves in just a few weeks, and now we have the official launch trailer as well as news on the arrival of a demo version you can play early. First, just take a look at this trailer. All of the footage in this is straight gameplay from the Xbox One version of the game and it looks stunning. The cars, modifications and scenery are all top notch.
September 30th cannot come soon enough.
Thankfully we don't have to wait for the release date to bomb around the great European countryside as there will a demo released on September 16th on the Xbox One. I think I *cough* may be sick *cough* next week. According to some reps, the demo will be a timed affair with a few select cars from the game just like the demo for the original Forza Horizon was.
If you are an Xbox 360 player, yes the game is coming to you too, but we have no word on a demo for your system. I am sorry.
When you do pick up the new game, Turn 10 and Playground games have announced that there will be a special reward system that will grant you some fancy cars to start the game with if you are a returning fan. If you have played any Forza game before you are likely familiar with the Forza Rewards system. Essentially, Turn 10 keeps track of how much you play and you gain points based on time played, miles driven, cars owned and more. If you have enough points when you fire up Forza Horizon 2 for the first time you will get a selection of cars that range from the BMW 1 Series M to the Huracán and the McLaren P1 . You can find a full list of cars, their unlock tier and a link to the Forza site to check your standings after the break.
So to recap; we have a great new trailer to watch, a demo coming out in just a few days, and a way to unlock a small collection of awesome cars before the game even launches. Can I get a "hell yes?"

We're entering hour 60 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta hostage crisis. Apparently, Andy Cohen intends to squeeze every drop of drama of the franchise. After the entire crazy fight from the first reunion episode, the ladies had to sit there for at least four more hours to film content for two more one-hour reunion segments and this episode that features unseen footage. It's mostly B-roll material, including a few dropped storylines and what seems like contractual obligations to show certain moments. The one thing it does do is cement Kenya Moore's place as the center of the show. She's not the most forthcoming but she does seem to be the only one having fun at this point. She also continues to give some of the best lines on the show.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A structure fire in Sheboygan on Wednesday - caused by unattended food - has displaced at least five people.
Sheboygan Fire Department Shift Commander Dean Klein said they received word of a kitchen fire at a two-apartment complex on the 1400 block of North 12th Street around 5:52 p.m. Fire crews arrived four minutes later, and had the fire out within eight minutes. Fire fighters also aided in retrieving a dog found on a porch roof as it tried to escape. Damage due to the fire is estimated at around $10,000.
Klein said the Red Cross has assisted those displaced by the fire, and that the apartments did not have smoke detectors in them.

Kerri Walsh Jennings is back home in the U.S.A. after winning gold at the London Summer Olympics in women's beach volleyball with her longtime teammate Misty May-Treanor, and she's hoping to grow her family before the next summer games.
"My husband and I — we're in it," Kerri told Access Hollywood Live's Billy Bush and Kit Hoover of the couple's plans to add another child to their family of four. "I feel like I've been resisting nature the past two years because I wanted to get pregnant so bad and my body's been yelling at me, but I had this goal as well — to win gold in London — and you know, now it's time to go. It's go time!"
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Hollywood's Hottest Moms & Their Loveable Little Ones
Kerri, and her husband, fellow volleyball star Casey Jennings, have two children – Joey, 3, and Sundance, 2.
"We want to expand our team," she added.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Royals At The Olympics
And Kerri said Misty is working on expanding her own family (with Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Matt Treanor) too.
"She wants it and she deserves it. Her and her husband, Matt Treanor — they're ready. They put it on hold so she could make this run with me to London. And that's a big commitment," Kerri said, appreciating her teammate's sacrifices. "It's hard being a woman when you have a career, you have to put it on hold, especially when you're an athlete, when your career window is this big anyway. And so she made this commitment to finish out her career and now… she needs a baby."
While Kerri hinted she'll be back for the next summer games in Brazil, the volleyball star said she doesn't expect Misty to return to the court for a shot at a fourth consecutive gold medal.

"I really believe that there is zero chance. I was shocked she came back this time," Kerri said. "I know, it breaks my heart… I don't want to put any pressure on her. I think I might [put pressure on her] in a couple of years, but I want her to have her life and she wants it so bad — to be a mom — and she'll be on the team, it's just probably not on the court with me."

DETROIT (WKZO) -- A Detroit man has possession again of his 1979 Corvette after 33 years.
The vehicle stolen from along Jefferson Avenue in 1981 was located last month in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and traced back to George Talley. General Motors transported the car back to Detroit and gave the keys to Talley in a ceremony Tuesday.
Authorities were recently notified about a pair of Corvettes that someone was trying to register with the same vehicle identification number, according to Talley.

LANSING (WKZO) -- A group seeking to stop wolf hunting in Michigan is launching a new petition drive to outlaw the season.
The U.S. Humane Society is seeking to get enough petition signatures to put the issue on the ballot in November 2014, which won't be fast enough to stop this year's hunt. Others opposed to a wolf hunt include five Native American tribal councils who have told Governor Rick Snyder they object to the hunt for cultural, religious and scientific reasons.
Farmers and lawmakers from the Upper Peninsula argue a hunt is needed, as wolf numbers have been steadily climbing and the animals are no longer protected as an endangered species.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Governor Scott Walker said he wanted to show that his "word was good" by limiting the expansion of Wisconsin's private school choice program to what he negotiated with Republican moderates. Assembly Republicans tried at the last minute to sneak in a budget amendment that could have eliminated the enrollment limits – but when signing the budget yesterday, Walker held firm to his agreement from a few weeks ago. It expands the use of state-funded private school vouchers for low-income kids statewide.
Enrollments will be limited to 500 students this fall outside Milwaukee County and Racine, where the choice program currently operates. The limit would rise to a-thousand the following year, and Walker has said he hopes the program will be popular enough for people to want a further expansion in the 2015 budget.
The last-minute Assembly item would have allowed the current voucher schools to accept students throughout Wisconsin without counting them toward the caps. State Superintendent Tony Evers said it could have resulted in private choice schools popping up statewide.
Walker vetoed 57 items – a miniscule amount in a 14-hundred-page budget approved by legislative Republicans without a single Democratic vote.

2011 Winter Issue 1 (January 14, 2011)
I'm from Ohio. This is what growing up was like.
Years before LeBron James broke the spirits of sports fans across northeast Ohio, he effectively ruined my 12-year-old dream of capturing the heart of the potential love of my life.
Be You, Be Happy
For anyone who has ever read my column, thank you. For anyone who has ever given me constructive feedback, you have no idea how much it means. But I want to make something really clear. I'm no wiser than anyone else here. I like giving advice to freshmen and sticking up for strippers on paper, but I'm only 22 years old. I have no idea what I'm doing.
Reaching New Clarity
Before I start with the meat of my column, I'd like to put in my two cents about the story of the week, the shootings in Tucson, Arizona. I don't have much to say that's very insightful that many, many others haven't already said, so I'll quickly sum up the smart points I've heard and read.

Halloween 2013 edition
November 1, 2013 - Jennifer Brookens
November 1: I sit here with aching feet, and reeling from the fact that one Warhead sour candy is still making my gut protest 16 hours later.
I thought Halloween was kind of complicated with two little ones. It becomes more so when one has a social life, and the other realizes they can choose what they want to be for Halloween, but changes his mind every few minutes.
When I started asking The Boy what he wanted for his costume, all he said was "black." Not "black dog," or "black ninja," just "black." Leaves a lot of room for translation, especially since he doesn't follow any superheroes that dress in black. (Or villains for that matter). I've learned that with The Boy, you can't do anything that's out of the ordinary or uncomfortable. Unless it's 100-percent his idea. So no masks or make-up, or plastic bib outfits that cost $30. To "inspire" him, we went to the dollar store, and he liked a black cape. Fair enough. Then I saw an FBI kit with the gadget watch, cell phone, and thick glasses frames. Since the show "Ghost Adventures," is a regular with his sister, I thought I might be able to get away with dressing him as one of the ghost hunters. With a cape. It could work...
Halloween day: He has no problem getting the stuff on, but when it comes time to do the famous "fin" hairstyle of one of the ghost hunters, he freaked. One glob of gel, and he screamed, "I DON'T WANT MY HAIR WET!" Then he took off with my best towel and hid behind the couch, messing up his hair.
Later we start Trick-or-Treating, and no one can guess what "The Boy" is supposed to be. Vampire and Harry Potter were popular guesses, and I was willing to roll with either one of those. But truth be known I didn't really know what he was supposed to be either. By the time we hit the mall and other business-sponsored Halloween events, the sugar and stress has started to wear the boy down. I admit, I don't do great in crazy crowds for extended periods of time so I understand, but he hit "Tilt" and began tossing stuff out of his bucket when people would drop something in. Out to the parking lot we went, and I gave plenty of families their first bit of Thanksgiving, as in "I'm thankful that's not my kid acting like a wilder-beast in the middle of the parking lot!" (Just chalk that one up to Proud Mommy moment #1024).
And in a bit of karmic justice, the one piece of candy I helped myself to was a sour Warhead, and my stomach still hurts. But perhaps it's a backhanded blessing that anything take away my taste for candy.
At the end of the night, to add insult to injury, The Girl hands me two lists right before bedtime. One is the list of people she wants to invite to her birthday party in two weeks. The second is the wish list for her birthday and Christmas.
Now how many bargains can I find on eBay within the next six weeks... Welcome to the Halloween to Holiday spiral, 2013 edition. See you on the way down...

P&G gives Pantene a high-tech makeover
Atomic force microscopes and plenty of PhD's go into rebranding the struggling hair care brand
Pantene, the hair care line that generates $3 billion for personal products giant Procter and Gamble (PG), is no stranger to makeovers. And after the recession drove consumers into the arms of cheaper rivals, Pantene is reinventing itself yet again – the third rebranding since 1999 – in an effort to reconnect with consumers.
According to Business Week, some
of the big ideas behind more than two years of research and reformulation
include both an "atomic force microscope, similar to one used on NASA's Phoenix
Mars Lander, and micro-computed tomography, used to measure bone density" to ensure
the shampoos were truly making hair healthier.
Perhaps almost as interesting as that space age stuff is the fact that P&G execs have actually embraced the "less is more" philosophy after admitting that the wide variety of Pantene products actually did more harm than good. As part of the relaunch, Procter & Gamble has decided to reduce the number of shampoos, gels, moisturizers, hairsprays, conditioners and other hair care products by about 30%.

The big question for investors and consumers, of course, is whether the
reformulation of Pantene actually boosts appeal of the hair care line and
subsequently delivers bigger sales for P&G.
The good news is that despite previous price increases when Pantene was revamped, Cincinnati-based Procter and Gamble is holding prices steady this time around. Shampoo will still cost about $4 per bottle – not as cheap as store brands or discount hair care products, but certainly not in the premium price range.
P&P reported earnings at the end of April that showed its profit fell slightly,
however sales jumped 7% as consumer spending firmed up and new products, price
cuts and stepped-up advertising took hold. The reformulation of Pantene could
help the PG stock build on this trend.

However, it's worth noting that the $19.2 billion in quarterly sales still missed Wall Street forecasts and that the stock has been sluggish for the better part of a year. Though P&G has about 20 or so billion-dollar brands in its catalog -- including the Pampers baby care line and Gillette men's personal products -- any drop-off in Pantene will only hurt the stock more.
For its part, P&G is convinced Pantene is better than ever and that all its products are on the resurgence. The company recently raised the low end of its guidance range for net earnings by 4 cents a share to a range of $4.06 to $4.12 for the current quarter on optimism that consumer spending will continue to firm up.
That may be true, but the real question is whether Pantene's rebirth will allow P&G to maximize its sales with a dominant hair care line. If not, then you can expect the costs of this reformulation and the slow erosion of sales to weigh on this stock's bottom line.
