Information About Chicago Apartments
The City of Big Shoulders, also known as the Windy City, sits in Cook County in the state of Illinois and is also the largest city in the state. Chicago has a rich history ranging from baseball, football, to infamous characters in American history, such as the gangland boss, Al Capone. With nearly three million residents, Chicago is the most populous metropolis in the whole of the Midwestern United States. Chicago also plays host to a thriving business community, both private and corporate. Chicago is a big entity when it comes to the economy; they have been noted as having the fourth largest gross domestic product in all of the metropolitan centers in the entire world. It is also known as being in the top ten global financial centers on the world stage. All of these attributes make a Chicago apartment something to be sought after diligently and treasured for all it is worth. If you add the fact that the city of Chicago is ranked 6th in the world in a survey using such determining factors as diversity of human capital and international cultural resources, you will soon understand that you need to be on the ball to get affordable and enjoyable housing in this vibrant city.
Well, with seventy-seven distinct communities that can be further divided into over two hundred recognized neighborhoods, you better get a feel for the city geographically speaking. Pick up maps of the city or find a good online map reference site. Check out the areas and neighborhoods. It will be very important to know the differences between the different city sections.
You have Albany Park, which is a hotbed mix of cultural diversity. You could even go as far as saying the Albany Park is one of the most culturally diverse areas in the whole of the United States. You actually have over forty different languages being spoken in the one of its many public schools.

Fan's View: Tomkins firmly on the right track (From Times Series)

Saracens fan Louise Warr takes a look at the fortunes of Joel Tomkins since his code-switch to rugby union
12:00pm Tuesday 26th February 2013 in Sport By Louise Warr, Saracens fan
He may have admitted to struggling at points during his early days at Saracens but to the average on-looker Joel Tomkins has taken to Rugby Union like a duck to water.
It seems hard to believe that the former Wigan Warriors player only made the switch to North London in November 2011.
It was somewhat of a dream start in Union for Tomkins having scored two tries for the Men in Black against Worcester Warriors on debut and has since gone on to make the Sarries' outside centre shirt his own.
To swap one code for another would always have been a risky move. At the time he signed for Sarries, the 25-year-old had already tasted success in league, appearing 125 appearances for Wigan, winning the Challenge Cup with the club, as well as receiving International honours in the 13 man code.
Then within a matter of months Tomkins found himself in a strange city, playing an alien sport in the less than glamorous surroundings of the Aviva A-League, there must have been times when he questioned his move.
Fast forward 12 months and the picture couldn't be any different for Tomkins. He has produced the most successful offloads in the Aviva Premiership with a total 31, showing that some skills can be used effectively regardless of the code of rugby.
It would be wrong to label him a one trick pony and he has some deceptive pace, something that was shown in his try against Leeds Rhinos at Wembley in the Challenge Cup. A try, that is well worth a watch if you haven't seen it before.
It isn't just at club level though that Joel is impressing.
His consistent performances for Sarries have caught the eye of Stuart Lancaster and the England coaching staff too.
Tomkins has not only been promoted from the Saxons into the full Elite Player Squad but has retained his place in the revised 31 man squad ahead of the Italy clash on 10th March.
In doing so he joins his ever reliable club centre partner Brad Barritt, Leicester Tigers' wrecking ball Manu Tuilagi and recent debutant Billy Twelvetrees from Gloucester in the fight for the two starting places.
If his progress continues in the manner it has done, it won't be long before we see Joel pulling on the red rose for the full England Squad.
That would be a huge achievement in itself but ensuring his place alongside a host of fellow dual internationals would particularly noteworthy.
There may have been a few dark times during the early months of his big adventure in Union, but it is starting to look like the future may just be very bright indeed for Joel Tomkins.

This was the first addition to the Craftsman Bolt-On drill that I won from CraftsmanClub. I have only used it so far to do some drywall demo and it does a really good job at that! I thought that maybe it's size would make the drill feel off balance but it was very easy to hold and control.

I have not had a chance to really put this attachment through it paces, but the little I have done with it, I am impressed. I like the quick release feature for the blades and such and you can always use standard ones with included adapter. You don't have to use the special quick release ones if you don't want to.

bought this along with the bolt on kit and the impact head.used briefly and works great. i compared it to my corded dremel multimax and the multimax definitely cuts much easier?probably because its just got more power but for a battery opened tool and at 19.99 its a great buy. also for the person who said it doesn't fit universal attachments, it does. in the package there is a bolt, washer, and allen wrench. you can use the dremel tools by putting them on the bottom and screwing the bolt on. it doesn't use the quick change feature but then again neither does the dremel. i would love to buy more attachments but they seem to be sold out everywhere and some sears website says are no longer available?.not sure whats going on. i would love to see more made. also an fyi, I'm pretty sure the black & decker attachments also fit on the bolt-on as i believe black & decker is the oem for craftsman on this tool.

One of the important aspects of the Spring Batch framework in my opinion is the fact that all jobs that use the same basic service configuration are handled consistently in terms of interaction with the repository, etc.
However, there is at least one hole in this - if a tasklet calls System.exit, for instance, the framework will exit without performing any further tasks.
I submitted this as a feature request already, since I believe this should be handled consistently by Spring Batch and should not require the end user to have to intervene to enforce this.
I was hoping I could get some input back from the community as to whether this ought to be part of the framework or implemented individually, whether or not you see this as a real problem, how it should be implemented alternatively, etc.
My original proposal was to register a new SecurityManager (which would use as its basis the current SecurityManager) that would to capture calls to exit the VM during execution and map it to a Spring Batch exception, thus allowing the repository to be properly updated. Any thoughts as to whether or not this is sufficient, prudent, etc?
Please reference original request at:
Comments greatly appreciated!

On December 22nd, Action Now members joined low-wage workers and supporters from Workers Organizing Committee of Chicago, SEIU Healthcare Illinois & Indiana, ARISE Chicago, Albany Park Neighborhood Council, Stand Up! Chicago and others for a prayer vigil, march and sit-in for living wages and benefits!
Low-wage workers portraying Joseph and Mary led the holiday vigil and march along the Mag Mile to protest the poverty-like wages paid by millionaire CEOs. Workers wanted shoppers downtown on the weekend before the Christmas holidays to get the message that big corporations don't pay their employees fair wages or treat them with respect. Macy's, McDonald's, Toys "R" US and other stores will open their doors to customers around the clock and/or on Christmas Day – taking workers away from their families and paying them low-wages with no holiday or overtime pay.
After the vigil at St. John's Cathedral, we marched downtown and stopped are low wage businesses to chant and sing. Then, when we got to Water Tower Place, 21 people sat down in the middle of the street and blocked traffic to protest poverty wages. After about 10 minutes they were arrested.
Our message is clear. Pay downtown workers a living wage. The city will prosper. The businesses will prosper. Our neighborhoods will prosper. Our children will prosper.

Press coverage:
CBS/WBBM Radio, "Union Supporters Protest Illinois Minimum Wage"
Illinois' minimum wage is among the highest in the nation, but retired Chicago Police Officer Charles Brown [Action Now leader] says companies can afford to pay more.
"Companies have made millions of dollars but have refused to recognize the people that have been making the money for them, the lowly workers," said Brown.
Wall Street Journal, "Wage Debate Takes the Stage"
Supporters of increases point to workers like Tyree Johnson, a 44-year-old who works the grill and helps clean at two Chicago McDonald's restaurants. After 20 years of being transferred among many McDonald's outposts, "I'm still making minimum wage and living from payday to payday," said Mr. Johnson, who makes $8.25 an hour. "It's unacceptable."
The high-school-educated Chicago native often falls behind on his $320-a-month rent at a men's hotel and can't afford health insurance or help his elderly mother. McDonald's declined to comment, noting most outlets are franchised.

I'm sitting in a college and frankly I'm pretty bored
Now that quite a couple of 8th edition books have been released, the powerlevel of which books specifically do we think future books should rally around? Some say tomb kings are a bit too weak, and ogres a bit too powerful, for example. Also as an extension to the question (and to provide-make highly amusing debate, yes-yes * chitter * ), which of the old books do you think should be powered down, which deserve to stay at the same powerlevel they are currently, and which do you think must be powered up?
Personally I think the new vampire counts are pretty much at a desirable powerlevel (and have plenty of options and variation), with ogres being a bit too much (mournfangs and ironblasters are prime suspects) and tomb kings lacking a bit, especially compared to the vampy boyz. In comparison with older books I think my own army, dwarfs, should be at about the current powerlevel (but nerfing some of the broken stuff, like an increase on cannoncost, rewrite of the organ gun, and a change to str5 reroll scatter grudgethrowers), but just require some more variety of playstyle.

NIHCM Foundation will host a webinar entitled "The Future of Employer-Sponsored Insurance" on May 29, 2013 from 1:00-2:30 PM EDT. The potential effects of the ACA's new premium tax credits and employer penalties on the group market are hotly debated, but relentless increases in health care costs have already begun to drive change.
NIHCM Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of new funding under its grant program to support investigator-initiated health services research. Up to $150,000 will be available to fund two to three projects in the 2013-2014 cycle.
As health insurers continue filing preliminary rates for plans to be offered on state exchanges, it is worth keeping in mind the factors playing into their pricing decisions as summarized by Alice Rosenblatt in a recent Expert Voices essay.
With complicated home lives and health concerns that are often caused or exacerbated by trauma, most children in foster care face major challenges to health and well-being. Yet the time spent in the foster care system with Medicaid coverage and assistance from social services is a critical period for helping these children achieve the best possible health outcomes.
NIHCM Foundation hosted a webinar entitled "Health Insurance Marketplaces: Race to the Deadline" on May 7, 2013 from 1:30-3:00 PM EDT. With exchange open enrollment set to begin October 1, 2013, the federal government—now responsible for at least partial marketplace facilitation in 32 states—has perhaps the largest role to play in meeting the deadline.
NIHCM Foundation is pleased to announce the release of a new Expert Voices essay entitled "Medicaid Expansion: What's at Stake for 2014 and Beyond?" by Joan Henneberry, MS, Principal, and Kathy D. Gifford, JD, Managing Principal, Health Management Associates.

Listen to Dan Pallotta explain why we still use jargon, even though we hate it.
I'd say that in about half of my business conversations, I have almost no idea what other people are saying to me. The language of internet business models has made the problem even worse. When I was younger, if I didn't understand what people were saying, I thought I was stupid. Now I realize that if it's to people's benefit that I understand them but I don't, then they're the ones who are stupid.
There are at least five strains of this epidemic.
We have forgotten how to use the real names of real things. Like doorknobs. Instead, people talk about the idea of doorknobs, without actually using the word "doorknob." So a new idea for a doorknob becomes "an innovation in residential access." Expose yourself repeatedly to the extrapolation of this practice to things more complicated than a doorknob and you really just need to carry Excedrin around with you all day.
This is a disease of epic proportions in the world of charity. I was at a meeting just two days ago at which several well-meaning staff members of a charity were presenting to their board, and the meat of their discussion revolved around the acronyms SCEA and some other one that began with "R" that I can't recall. In the span of three minutes these acronyms must have been used eight times each. They were central to any understanding of the topic at hand, but they were never defined. So I had not the vaguest idea what the presenters were talking about. None. Could have been talking about how to make a beurre-blanc sauce for all I know.
Valley Girl 2.0
My partner and I were at a restaurant in the San Fernando Valley five years ago, and a real-live Valley girl was sitting in the booth behind us talking on her cell phone. We couldn't stop listening to her. She had a world-class ability to string together half-sentences devoid of any substance whatsoever. And yet you felt as if something important were being discussed! "And she was like, ummm, and I was just like, you know, umm, no way, really, like, yeah, and when she was like that, I was just like..umm...." She could go on in this way for extended periods of time without mentioning any actual people, actions, or thoughts. There's a business version of this illness. It involves the use of words such as "space," "around," "synergy," and "value-add" with a healthy dose of equivocators like "sort of" and "kind of" to ensure that there is no commitment to anything being said: "I'm in the sort of sustainability space around kind of bringing synergistic value-add to other people's work around this kind of space." Oh, OK, that explains it.
Meaningless Expressions
I wrote about the phrase "thinking outside the box" recently and how overused and utterly misunderstood the expression is. There are many more. Another term that has lost its meaning is "Let's exceed the customer's expectations." Employees who hear it just leave the pep rally, inhabit some kind of temporary dazed intensity, and then go back to doing things exactly the way they did before the speech. Customers almost universally never experience their expectations being met, much less exceeded. How can you exceed the customer's expectations if you have no idea what those expectations are? I was at a Hilton a few weeks ago. They had taken this absurdity to its logical end. There was a huge sign in the lobby that said, "Our goal is to exceed the customer's expectation." The best way to start would be to take down that bullshit sign that just reminds me, as a customer, how cosmic the gap is between what businesses say and what they do. My expectation is not to have signs around that tell me you want to exceed my expectations.

This is when you combine the four diseases above. So you get phrases like, "You should meet this guy with the SIO. He's sort of this kind of social entrepreneur thinking outside of the box in the sustainability space and working on these ideas around sort of web-based social media, and he's in a round two capital raise in the VP space with the people at SVNP." How many times have you heard what you now recall to be precisely this sentence?
This would all be funny if it weren't true. People just don't make sense anymore. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble if you internalize this. Observe it, deconstruct it, and appreciate just how ridiculous most business conversation has become.
You will gain tremendous credibility, become much more productive, make those around you much more productive, and experience a great deal more joy in your working life if you look someone in the eye after hearing one of these verbal brain jammers and tell the person, "I don't have any idea what you just said to me."

Possibility of connection between Kingston High School teacher's drug arrest, Hurley man's death being investigated, state police say (video)
HURLEY, N.Y. — State police are awaiting toxicology results to determine if the death of a 38-year-old Hurley man Saturday night is connected to any drug sale that may have been made by Kingston High School teacher Matthew T. DiDonna.
Maj. Edward Raso, commander of state police Troop F, said police responded to a 911 call at 11:19 p.m. Saturday for an "unresponsive" male.
Mark Conlin of 78 DeWitt Mills Road died that night, Raso said.
"There (were) life-saving efforts ongoing. I don't know where he was pronounced (dead). He died subsequent to that (life-saving efforts)," Raso said.
Raso said investigators are awaiting autopsy and toxicology reports on the cause of death.
Investigators are "trying to verify" if there was a connection between the death and alleged drug sales made by DiDonna, Raso said.
"I won't know that till we get the results back. We don't have an official cause of death yet," he said.
"We're investigating if there is any connection. We're looking into that right now," Raso said.
DiDonna, 42, of 12 Wayside Drive, Hurley, was arrested Sunday at 3:55 a.m. by state police at Ulster and charged with two felonies: possession and sale of a controlled substance, as well as violation possession of marijuana. Continued...
In a news release, police said the arrest followed an investigation that determined that DiDonna sold drugs at his residence the prior evening.
Raso would not discuss how police got that information.
Executing a search warrant, police said they found DiDonna possessed a quantity of psilocybin mushrooms and marijuana.
DiDonna, who is a social studies teacher and was an adviser to the Class of 2012, is currently on a leave of absence, according to schools Superintendent Paul Padalino.
DiDonna was arraigned in Hurley Town Court and later released Sunday morning from Ulster County Jail on $20,000 bail. DiDonna appeared in Hurley Town Court Monday night along with his attorney, Paul Gruner, who waived a preliminary hearing. The case will now go to a grand jury.
Padalino said Monday that the report of DiDonna's arrest "sent shockwaves through the entire district."
"We are supposed to be role models for our students," he said. "Again, this is an alleged crime at this point, but we take it seriously and we look out for the best interest of our students at all times" Padalino said.
By Monday afternoon, Padalino said he had fielded several calls from parents in the district and was primarily concerned about the students' states of mind.
"Obviously, this is someone who is thought of very highly by his students," he said. "He's been in our district for quite some time, and, again, we still do live somewhere where you're innocent until proven guilty, so we'll wait and see what happens. It's an unfortunate event."
The incident was indeed on the minds of students as they filtered out of the high school Monday afternoon. Continued...
Allison Mikolinis, a senior, was one of DiDonna's students, and she said she was still trying to process the news.
"I was in disbelief, honestly," she said. "I had him as a teacher, and I thought he was great. He taught the class well. I did really well on the Regents because of him, and when I found out, I was kind of in shock. I didn't want to believe it at all."
Eleventh-grader Tyler Curlin also had DiDonna as a global studies teacher last year, and he said the news of his arrest had everyone talking.
"It was just weird. When I heard about it … it was not something I wanted to hear because he was a good teacher," Curlin said.
Conlin, the man who died late Saturday, was a 1992 Kingston High School graduate and a sales manager for TRS Direct of Kingston, according to his obituary. His survivors include his wife, Julie, and three children, Madison, Owen and Abigail. Keyser Funeral & Cremation Service is handling arrangements.
The Conlin family has hired Chester Krom as its attorney.

South Dakota State Stops Creighton 5-2
South Dakota State beat Creighton 5-2 Friday night at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.
Posted: $util.date("h:mm a MMM d, yyyy",$story.contentLiveDate,$timeZone)
Reporter: WOWT
South Dakota State beat Creighton 5-2 Friday night at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.
The first hit off Bluejay starter Erik Mattingly (0-2) in 12-straight innings came off the bat of SDSU catcher Zach Briggs, who would come around to score the first run of the game in the third. Single runs in the fifth and seventh sandwiched a pair of runs in the sixth by the Jackrabbits (11-17-1).
The Bluejays (14-17) scored both of their runs in the eighth inning. Brennan Murphy singled and advanced to second on a wild pitch before Jordan Makovicka pinch-hit, grounding out to the second baseman, but advancing Murphy to third. Chance Ross drove in Murphy with an infield single. Anthony Bemboom then doubled scoring Ross.
Creighton will play a single game Saturday against Iowa. Due to the projected inclement weather, the game will start 45 minutes following the conclusion of the Iowa-South Dakota State game, with that first pitch set for 10 a.m.

POINT PLEASANT — A well-known physician in the area is reopening his practice in a new location after a tumultuous few months.
Dr. Mark Nolan, longtime OB/GYN in Mason County, plans on reopening his practice on Monday, Oct. 29 at his new location at 809 Willow Lane (the old W.Va. State Police barracks), independent of employer Valley Health.
As of last week, Nolan was reportedly nearing the end of his relationship with Valley Health. However, he did say Valley Health asked him to continue his employment with them but he felt as though it was best to go out on his own.
As reported, in August, patients who had appointments with Nolan showed up at his former office at Pleasant Valley Hospital to find a new doctor in his place and Nolan's office staff gone. Nolan was, at the time, treating patients at PVH in offices rented by Valley Health. Nolan was placed on a two-week paid leave for unspecified reasons by Valley Health, according to Kara Fetty, a medical assistant for Nolan who spoke to The Point Pleasant Register at the time. The Point Pleasant Register attempted to contact Valley Health about the situation but was not successful.
Back in August, Fetty, as well as Nolan's wife Brenda and Kathy Hall, Nolan's office assistant, were all terminated by Valley Health, according to Fetty. Valley Health then moved a new doctor into Nolan's office to see patients, patients who weren't very happy having their OB/GYN switched without notice, according to Fetty.
Many of these patients are now relieved to find out Nolan is back and is reopening his practice, Fetty said. As of last week, Nolan's available appointments were filling up fast. Nolan, along with his wife and staff have been working to remodel the new office, putting in new flooring, painting the walls and placing equipment. The new facility will have one lab, there exam rooms and a procedure room. As he has for several years, Nolan will continue to work with PVH and deliver babies at the facility — PVH was not involved in the situation between Valley Health and Nolan. The reason Nolan didn't rent new office space at PVH was there simply was none, Brenda said.
Nolan will reopen with the same staff and he said he wants his patients to know, "We've missed them all, we appreciate their concern for us and we're looking forward to taking care of them."
Call Nolan's office at 304-675-1222 for more information.

The Ouachita Parish Police Jury may pursue funding next year so local schools could benefit from the state's safe routes to school program.
During Monday's regular Police Jury meeting, police juror Pat Moore said applications for the safe routes to school program will start again in 2011.
The purpose of the program is to "improve the health of children and the community by making walking and bicycling to school safer, easier and more enjoyable," according to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, which oversees the state's program.

Movie starved. I made it 2 in 1 day. "Crazy, Stupid, Love" & "Real Steel"
I don't remember the last time I went into a movie-comma of sorts. I don't know how else to describe a hiatus that lasts beyond 15 days. If You still can't tell by the titles; I was eager to compensate. So watched 2 movies the first opportunity I got
First "CSL". Just like the 3 worded title, the screenplay or rather the character developments on it could have been placed without any chronological order and it'd have never made a difference to the outcome. Didnt quite get it, did you? For eg; "Crazy, Stupid, Love" could have been "Stupid, Crazy, Love" or anyway else You'd like to put it without changing what the makers intended it to mean.
Not taking away any of the genuine charm of the actors playing their respective characters or the amazing soundtrack laced around, the movie does not boast of a very good script. For me the plot was hackneyed (at the most)and the fact that I am a fan of all the leads (yeah there are a plenty of them) and was still annoyed with how the movie ended speaks of what it could have been. The first few reels had a few gut splitting moments and I will confess, I don't remember laughing that hard while watching a Hollywood comedy, in the recent memory. The chemistry between Gosling and Carrell specially in some of the bar scenes was unmistakable. Moore though looked haggard. Kevin Bacon & Marisa Tomei both incredibly talented, were both twice as incredibly wasted in a couple of half baked roles. But overall it still is a fun watch mostly for Carrell who I think gets it right after a few failed attempts. No, don't expect anything different from him. He's still the moronic guy next door wearing the same pair of New Balance's You may have seen him adorn in his first big landing "40 yr old virgin".
Oh yeah before I forget. If ever this gets remade in Bollywood, Karan Johar will direct it and Shahrukh will play Carrell with 14 to 16 songs in it. Dharma Productions listening ?
Recommended for a Sunday afternoon or post dinner for a dreaded Monday or any weekday for that matter. 2.5/5
Then comes "Real Steel" later in the night.
In one sentence I'll try and draw parallel with cheese. The recipe of RS has different varieties of it, but just like that one specific dish in a long menu, the chef does get this one right. This is a no holds barred aimed straight at the heart enterprise that we'd commonly associate the likes of Adam Sandler of the early 2000′s with. Follows a well know path of a flawed but good hearted central lead with an able and immediate support by a pivotal character (mostly a kid). The latter by the climax, makes the former realise or vice versa, how noble he/she is, inspite of what we were made to believe during some of the developments, earlier in the story. Cliche' did You say? Well it may be, but it works for "RS". 2 major reasons are : i) fighting robots (that couldn't have gone wrong or could it?) ii) Dakota Goyo, the remarkable little kid that plays Hugh's son. His histrionics never went up in the irritating radar and almost always got it pitch perfect even when sharing screen space with the highly likable and seasoned Jackman or the tough act of holding his own with the Animatronics robot "Atom". The fight sequences are believable if not spectacular and the lack of blood makes it an enjoyable fare for everyone in the family. I see a winner here. Royalties from apparels and dvd sales should be better and should add to its overall success.
Recommend, almost anytime. 3/5

Jump to Full List of Cases for This Issue
As part of the Affordable Care Act, the federal government issued a regulation that requires health plans to cover contraception without a co-pay. More than 50 court cases are pending challenging the rule, alleging that the rule infringes on religious liberty.
Approximately one-half of the cases have been brought by religiously affiliated nonprofit organizations. The courts have routinely dismissed these cases finding that these organizations do not face any injury because of the federal government's proposals to modify the rule to accommodate nonprofit entities with religious objections, and, in the meantime, these entities do not have to comply with the rule. Most recently, on February 1, the administration issued a proposed rule designed to ensure employees will receive contraception coverage but that the nonprofit employer will not bear the cost or otherwise have any connection with the coverage. This revision should put to rest the nonprofits' legal claims.
The rule will not be modified for for-profit companies. The courts in the for-profit cases are analyzing whether the rule violates religious freedom, and these cases are winding their way through district courts and courts of appeals across the country. It is expected that at least one of these cases will reach the U.S. Supreme Court at the end of 2013 or in 2014.
There are approximately 60 challenges currently pending. Of those, 32 are filed by for-profit companies. Six courts of appeals have issued orders in the for-profit cases, but only to address emergency requests that the rule not be enforced against the plaintiffs in the case pending decision in the appeal. The Third, Sixth and Tenth Circuits have denied requests to temporarily block the rule, and Justice Sotomayor has also denied a request to temporarily block enforcement of the rule. The Seventh, Eighth, and D.C. Circuits have granted requests to temporarily block enforcement of the rule for the specific plaintiffs. Meanwhile, full briefing in these cases is proceeding.
The cases challenging the contraceptive rule are only one set of cases in which institutions and individuals are seeking an exemption from anti-discrimination rules, on the ground that they violate their religious beliefs. There are cases of inns and bakeries closing their doors to same-sex couples and of religious schools firing employees who are unmarried and pregnant, for example, in the name of religion.
In these cases, the ACLU is defending the anti-discrimination rule. While religious freedom gives us all the right to make personal decisions about how to practice religion, it doesn't give institutions or individuals the right to impose their beliefs on others or to discriminate.

It's easy to make those shots when no one's guarding you. We let the Cav's role players get into a groove. The Spurs won't make the same mistake.
Stern certainly hopes not. With King James front and center! It would be disasterous for the ratings not to be higher than the last couple of years.
Spurs in 5 and I want it to be a stomping. David Stern's nightmare is that the Bruce Bowen tricks he overlooked in earlier series end up hurting LeBron James.
It may not be that easy. I think the Cavs length and size upfront will create some matchup problems. Timmy will get banged around in the low-post.
If Bowen can handle LeBron then Boobie won't be big in this series. If they have to collapse on LeBron ....the the Cavs might milk Boobie for some more points.
For anyone watching the Finals, we'll be opening the chat for the games. I'll post a heads-up here once the chat opens just before the games. I think I'll definitely be more relaxed during the games this year. I despised the Heat and couldn't believe the refs handed the series to them last year, but I'm not particularly against either of the teams in it now.
I dont know but I do look for the league and Stern to put the fix in big time in this series. I see the Cavs splitting the 1st 2 games. Then I see the Spurs taking 2 out of 3 in Cleveland. The refs will be in full control in game 6 and hand it over to the Cavs to get everyone riled up in anticipation of the upset. Game 7 will be close up until the late 3rd and where the Spurs take the title for the 4th time in 9 years. If this comes to pass I may refuse to watch the NBA for the rest of my life. Stern has gotta get the ratings up, what a %%%%ing shame.
Stern isn't exactly one of my favorite people, but if he wanted to fix things that badly just for ratings purposes, I think his actions in the Phoenix-SA series would have been somewhat different.
No not reallly everyone anticipated that the league would practice "a no-tolerance policy" in that circumstance. So for the NBA to backtrack on their policy would have been a big no no. Everyone knew the NBA was gonna stand by thier policy no mater what to protect their integrity as a league.
LeBron, Boobie and the refs cannot take down the Spurs. Spurs in 6, but look for a Cavs' victory in SA in one of the first two games.
My present plan is to tape the Finals games and only watch any game(s) that the Cavs win. It will be a drag to do so, because I am so crazy about basketball. But I really can't bear watching the Dastardly Spurs win. On an intellectual basis only, I do admire their team and their coach. There's alot to like about their game. But on an emotional level I can't stand them. Way more than I dislike the Heat. I watched every single Spurs playoff game closely. I would be very very very shocked if the Cavs can get 2 games out of them even with the "treatment" by the refs. But there are so many reasons for me to dislike the Spurs and I can't find it in my heart to be neutral with my feelings for them even when considering that they may be the last real team to ever win an NBA title with the way things are going in the NBA. I mean it's too much for one season. I had to watch them be happy over beating the Nuggets. I like a lot of those Nugget players. Especially AI and Nene and Camby. It was sad. Then I had to watch them beat the Suns. I like all of those Suns players and their coach too. Especially Steve Nash and Amare and Marion. And Barbosa. Then I had to watch them take apart the Jazz. I like alot of those Jazz players, their coach and especially Deron Williams. Enough is enough. I just can't bear any more shots of The Big Fundamental, The Big Floparoo and The Big Dirty Player happily celebrating a win sitting on the bench in the fourth quarter. We all have our limits. No more Spurs Victory games for me this year. My only consolation for us not making it out of the ECF is that I won't have to add beating the Pistons to the above list of agonizing experiences. P.S. Okay I do kind of like Fabricio Oberto and Michael Finley. But that's it! P.P.S. Also, I sure as hell wish we could trade Flip Sr. for Pop. In a heartbeat. To get equal value we'd have to add all our assistant coaches and Arnie too.
Only thing that really bothers be about the Spurs is knowing Eva Logoria is a super spur fan. Someting about that side show irritated me when we played them. "did you see her, what was she wearing... ". I went to every game that series.
Aurora, I don't like the Spurs and I picked them to face us. But I don't feel that Le Bron and the Cavs really belong there---we will see. A Spurs win at least is a minor blow to Stern. The Spurs are the last of a dying breed. Our Pistons were the other team left of that breed and we are now out of the finals for two years. The NBA is heading to the permanent Le Bron, Wade and star show brought to you by Stern and his sponsors.
Hello all you forum guys, just now able to bring myself up to post after the Piston loss, totally broke my heart. I know the love you all have for your Pistons, and I feel your pain, Pistons were the only team that could match the Spurs. I have been looking 2 years for rematch, and this was my last chance to see it. As far as Cavs go, folks in SA never heard of LBJ, so he will have to go back home to get his love. He is playing his "my mom was a single mom" card right now, but we have a lot of Spurs who had the same hand dealt so it will be hard to explain to them how his mom got a "loan" to buy her high schooler an $80,000.00 Hummer that he wanted. What a sense of entitlement that kid has. I know the Pistons will come thru in a few more years, and I know you guys will still be around to cheer them on. I doubt I will be posting anymore, but I really love you guys, I feel like I know you. Yes, Aurora, you sound like a honey, Warthogs on the spot recaps give me a feeling for being there. Army Girl, I really appreciate what you all are doing for our country. Himat, I am still impressed by your b-ball knowledge, and know that at some time you are going to do something great in sports. I have love for HQ and have him on my favorite list. The Low has fantastic music that helped me thru a rough time, but since I got my new computer it didnt come with that sound thing and I havent had a chance to go to store, but when I do, he will be the first I listen to. I can go on an on, you are all good people, and a special thanks to you Roscoe for putting this together and keeping such great members. Yeah, I hope to hell we beat Cavs, and I offer my wins to the Pistons, who should be here in the first place. So, lots of love from San Antonio,

An mportant website for those interested in navigation issues
I'm not very good at this kind of thing but try this. If it doesn't work I suggest that you join the forum.
I'm afraid that I just go to pieces when I'm asked to make links; I never expect them to work.
Of course, there's no The Global Satellite Navigation System, but there are a number of Global Satellite Navigation Systems, active or planned; the Global Positioning System (GPS), GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou/Compass, etc.
Hmm.. and looking at the link above
i) "In order to provide meaningful accuracy, every GNSS needs SBAS (a Satellite Based Augmentation System)"
Whilst SBAS increases the accuracy of a GNSS, you can still get 'meaningful accuracy' without it (e.g. 20-30m). I guess it depends on your definition of 'meaningful'.
ii) "The American's is called WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) and as it had to be retro-installed into their GPS (Global Positioning System) and it caused them lots of headaches."
No more of a headache than EGNOS. Both systems require monitoring stations, and the means to transmit correction signals (WAAS uses geostationary satellites to transmit correction signals, no different from EGNOS), and to have receivers capable of exploiting these signals.
iii) "The European Space Agency learned from the experience of the Americans, and built and commissioned their SBAS first."
WAAS was operational in the US before EGNOS was officially declared operational in Europe. WAAS is not intended to cover Europe. WAAS was approved for instrument landings before EGNOS (and not long after EGNOS test transmissions started).
iv) "in other words we are already all using Galileo in Europe"
No we aren't; we are using EGNOS. EGNOS isn't Galileo.
I passed the micronavigation thread under my colleague's nose for a more expert opinion. Here is his response:
> In order to provide meaningful accuracy, every GNSS needs SBAS (a Satellite Based Augmentation System)Not true, standard-alone GPS gives good accuracy (~8 m) for many applications. The benefit of SBAS is that it allows the receiver to reliably estimate the instantaneous limits of that accuracy – this is essentially for critical applications. A GNSS doesn't need an SBAS.> The American's is called WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) and as it had to be retro-installed into their GPS (Global Positioning System) and it caused them lots of headaches. WAAS (and EGNOS) are standalone systems – there was no retrofitting into GPS (or Galileo). Both make observations of the GNSS SVs and use these observations to estimate error corrections and error bounds for each SV and the GNSS systems as a whole.All complex systems cause "headaches". The major verification problem with both WAAS and EGNOS was collecting enough data to statistically prove that the integrity failure rate was low enough for safety-critical applications. Both systems were useful additions in many applications, even if not approved, long before certification was signed-off.> The European Space Agency learned from the experience of the Americans, and built and commissioned their SBAS first. It is called EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) and, as such, it is the first pan-European satellite navigation system.WAAS was deployed before EGNOS (July 2003 vs. March 2011). Both meet the same standard (RTCA DO-229), which allowed some of the same equipment to be used in each. The underlying system algorithms and architectures are different, but this is not apparent to the receiver. Both complement the GPS systems but do not replace it: EGNOS is not a satellite navigation system – it is equivalent to WAAS but covers the European region. Note that there are additional equivalent systems planned: MSAS for Japan/Asia, GAGAN for the Indian subcontinent.DO-229 includes support for broadcasting corrections for non-GPS constellations, however bandwidth limitations on the broadcasted signal mean that the existing WAAS/EGNOS systems will not support Galileo.> The optimal number of SV's in an orbital plane is 4 (GPS has six orbital planes, each with 4 satellites in - hence 24 being the number required for complete functionality).The "optimal" number is a cost/performance trade-off. Low numbers of planes are cheaper to deploy, since the same launcher can deploy multiple satellites. Higher numbers of planes/more SVs per plane improve accuracy.> In the European system the SBAS SV's are geostationary, in other words they are in permanently fixed locations above Europe. Currently there are 3 in-situ and operational.WAAS and EGNOS each use two satellites for redundancy. Both also have an additional satellite for test purposes.> EGNOS Open Service has actually been available since 1 October 2009 and it augments the US GPS satellite navigation system, as WAAS's footprint is optimised for the USA.Correct.> EGNOS allows the positions reported to be accurate and reliable enough for safety critical applications, such as the safety-critical task of guiding commercial aircraft - vertically as well as horizontally - during landing approaches and navigating ships through narrow channels.Constraining the vertical error bounds is probably the most critical aspect of SBAS operation. This use case comes from precision vertical guidance on final approach for aircraft.
> Last December the German Federal Aviation Authority approved EGNOS landings at major airports throughout Germany for all commercial aircraft, with the UK & France following suit earlier this year – this is importanceof this decision cannot be over-emphasised!
If you are a lawyer, then yes. For everyone else the key date for EGNOS was July 2005 when initial operations started. Even at that point EGNOS was providing significant benefit for some applications.> What it means for us folk who use the basic eTrex right up to an encrypted military satnavs, is that we are now all using the transmissions from these 3 geostationary satellites, and the computed data corrections from the ground based installations – in other words we are already all using Galileo in Europe – and because the system was bespoke, rather than retro, it allows users in Europe (and beyond) to determine their position to within 1.5 metres.There are several misleading parts to this statement:Existing SBAS systems only monitor the public unencrypted L1 signals - the corrections are not directly applicable to the encrypted signals. This is primarily because the SBAS systems provide corrections for ionospheric delay suitable for use by single frequency (i.e. low cost) receivers. Under open sky conditions the residual uncorrected ionospheric delay is the predominant source of position error. Dual-frequency receivers (i.e. military/professional) can measure the ionospheric delay directly and therefore don't need the SBAS ionospheric corrections, though there is some benefit in using the clock and orbit corrections provided by the SBAS.Note that the SBAS signals are just as vulnerable as the open services they support. In a hostile environment the availability of SBAS data cannot be assumed.Furthermore, the two SBAS satellites in each redundant pair both transmit identical data streams. A receiver therefore only ever uses one SBAS satellite, but may track the other to ensure continuity.Galileo is not yet operational Europe.With the GPS L1C modernisation the single frequency L1 performance of both GPS and Galileo will be comparable. Where Galileo will really shine is with the new E5 ALTBOC signal, however it is very unlikely that any consumer-grade equipment will track this signal due to the high level of signal processing (cost) required.But probably most critical: SBAS does not guarantee any level of accuracy. Under open sky (i.e. aviation/maritime) conditions SBAS will allow a user to accurately estimate the current level of accuracy and help to stabilise some of the extreme error bounds. In urban/rural environments SBAS provides little benefit in either actual accuracy or the estimation of accuracy. This is simply because the SBAS and the receiver know nothing about the local environment. Reported/estimated accuracy is not the same thing as actual accuracy.e.g. in many multi-story carpark buildings it is possible to track multiple GPS SVs and an SBAS satellite, however the actual accuracy is likely to be much, much worse than predicted. Why? Because the SBAS data and the receiver are unaware that the signals being received are reflected off the office building 200 m down the street. Similar examples exist for road, rail, general outdoor use, and many maritime use cases around harbours.
> Given that Galileo was designed for Europe the earliest satellites will cover this region, again what this means is, that whilst it takes between 24-30 satellites to give global cover, 14 will provide full cover for Europe, and the launch period for these is planned for the next 3 years. So by 2015 we will be using Galileo as our primary GNSS in Europe - and the system will be fully up and running (globally) by 2019.The Galileo satellites are not geostationary and therefore will provide world-wide coverage from initial launch. However the initial availability will be low due to the low number of satellites causing visibility constraints. To be useful Galileo needs at least 24 satellites (much like GPS – that's physics for you).With the advent of Galileo there will be no such thing as a "primary GNSS" – all modern receivers will combine measurements from both GPS and Galileo (and Glonass) to form a optimal solution across all available systems. Even today many professional applications fuse GPS and Glonass observations.> You will notice that I used the word primary; I used this because the algorithms for new GNSS chipsets will preferentially differentiate between GPS & Galileo signals when operating within Europe as the predicted accuracy for the system is 1.0m compared to the US GPS system 2.7m. (This 'preference' is a contentious subject, for another posting, and not often publically aired).Not true. Modern navigation algorithms "weight" the measurements from each tracked satellite based on an estimation of the quality of that satellites signal. The weighted measurements are then filtered and combined to generate the navigation solution. This process happens in GPS-only receivers and will happen in all future receivers. There is information in any available signals – the receiver takes a view of the reliability/trustworthiness of each signal based on statistical data for that signal, the signal strength, the SBAS data, the elevation of the satellite above the horizon, and many other factors.> The wild card, that has come left of field, is from the Russians this month. The Russian Deputy Prime Minister, Igor Shuvalov, announced that all foreign-registered aircraft must use GLONASS in Russian airspace. Therefore, the architecture of all GNSS chipsets in commercial aircraft will need revising and this will quickly spin off into handheld satnavs.It is not clear if this will actually happen since there are international agreements/treaties to consider.The real wildcard is the Chinese COMPASS system. You could consider Glonass as being "confined" to Russia, however if Chinese-manufactured goods start to include COMPASS receivers then that will effectively become the de-facto standard. Navigation is largely regarded as a service - most consumers don't really care if the infrastructure is GPS or Galileo or Compass.> Some forward companies have anticipated this, in particular Sony Ericsson and Apple who in the past few months installed a new GNSS chipset into their Sony Ericsson Xperia S and Xperia ION phones and Apple's iPhone 4S, which uses GLONASS. So these two leading phones now use GPS, GLONASS & Galileo to navigate! And by using all of these systems, the total number of satellites available becomes 58 (31 GPS plus 24 GLONASS plus 3 EGNOS). GNSS has truly come of age, and I personally believe it affords us all greater safety and security.Don't be fooled – your safety and security is no better than it was before. User error is still your greatest threat.

Barbara Lewis
Barbara Lewis: The Complete Atlantic Singles
Real Gone Music
3 1/2 stars
Barbara Lewis belongs to a certain category of 1960s soul singers, the type whose smooth, expressive vocals are capable of melting the coldest of hearts.
The Michigan-born singer only had a handful of hits, but this new two-CD collection of her total 45 rpm output, 34 numbers in all, done for Atlantic Records during her prime years quickly illustrates her seeming inability to record a bad track.
"Hello Stranger," written by Lewis, was her biggest hit, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard charts in 1963. Almost 50 years after its release, it's still a stunner. The underproduced backing consists of little more than a Hammond organ and "shoo-bop shoo-bop" backing from male vocal group the Dells. Yet Lewis' delivery manages to convey several powerful emotions simultaneously: happiness, romantic longing, heartache and melancholy. I'm not sure how else to explain why "Hello Stranger" chokes me up each and every time I hear it.
"Baby I'm Yours" may be her best-known hit, a sweet ballad of love and devotion that has been covered dozens of times over the years. Her glowingly lovely vocal belies the fact that, according to Richie Unterberger's superb liner notes, Lewis didn't care for the song at all at first and had to be persuaded to record it.
The real strength of this
By the time the tracks on Disc 2 of the CD arrive in her career chronology, Lewis' singles are barely scraping the bottom of the pop charts. That only meant that record buyers missed out
on gems such as "I'll Make Him Love Me," the creatively arranged "Fool, Fool, Fool (Look in the Mirror)" and the radiant "Thankful for What I Got."Lewis made the most of her time on Atlantic right up to the end, maintaining high quality even on her final single for the label, "You're a Dream Maker."
The remastering job here is first-rate, with excellent sound throughout. Lewis' voice radiates sophistication and warmth, sounding both familiar and like no one else you've ever heard. "The Complete Atlantic Singles" is a treasure trove of stellar performances well worth exploring.
