Does your state allow absentee voting?
You be the judge: vote on LBI's editorial contest!
United States Senate elections in Illinois, 2014
November 4, 2014 |

Richard Durbin |
Pending |
Illinois has a mixed-hybrid primary system. Voters can change parties each year but must declare a party affiliation at the polls. Depending on which party is chosen, the voter will then be counted as registered for that party. Voters may change party affiliation at polls or caucus.
The election will fill the Senate seat currently held by Richard Durbin (D). Durbin was first elected in 1996.
Note: Prior to the signature filing deadline, candidates will be added when Ballotpedia writers come across declared candidates. If you see a name of a candidate who is missing, please email us and we will add that name. As the election draws closer, more information will be added to this page.
- Doug Truax[1]
- Chad Koppie[2][3]
- Jim Oberweis: State senator[4][5]
- Dick Durbin: Incumbent
- Kent Fitzsimmons[6]
- Sharon Hansen[7]
Race background
Early assessments of Durbin's run for re-election predict that it is unlikely that he will face significant opposition.[8] However, Durbin, a three-term senator, had approximately $2.6 million cash-on-hand in February 2012.[8]
Because Durbin is a member of the Democratic Senate leadership, many expect that a good portion of that money will likely go to help other Senate candidates[8] Since 2008, Durbin has given $2,385,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which works to elect Democrats to the Senate.[8]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
During the shutdown in October 2013, the Senate rejected, down party lines, every House-originated bill that stripped the budget of funding for the Affordable Care Act. A deal was reached late on October 16, 2013, just hours before the debt ceiling deadline. The bill to reopen the government, H.R. 2775, lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funds the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[9] The final vote on H.R. 2775 was 81-18, with all 18 votes against the bill from Republican members. Dick Durbin voted with the Democratic Party for the bill.[10]
Jim Oberweis
Oberweis' November 22, 2013, U.S. Senate announcement |
Republican state Senator Jim Oberweis officially announced his candidacy in a video detailing his history as a candidate on November 22, 2013.[11]
"Some people are going to want to talk about my mistakes as a candidate over the last 10 years," Oberweis says to the camera. "I made statements and commercials that I regretted and I've said so."[11]
"I believe I understand what motivates entrepreneurs and businessmen," Oberweis said of his candidacy. "My opponent, Mr. Durbin, is a career politician who's been in Washington for 31 years, that's just way too long. I made a decision about 30 days ago to go forward and circulate petitions … But clearly, Obamacare is a symptom of the mess we have going on in Washington D.C."[11]

Set Sail for Adventure!
If Freeport is known for anything, it's pirates. Sure, the city has a history of attracting criminal groups, corrupt merchants, and politicians—to say nothing of subversive cults dedicated to insane and dreadful gods—but it's the pirates who infest the city and prowl the Serpent's Teeth that give the City of Adventure its dubious reputation. From its first founding as a haven for buccaneers and cutthroats, established on the pirate's code to attain an uneasy peace between voyages, Freeport has evolved from a filthy little town to a sprawling city of thousands. Yet in that time, pirates remain the most common and most popular of its citizens.
Buccaneers of Freeport returns to Freeport's roots and examines the colorful and disturbing rogues that roam the seas around the City of Adventure. Describing eight pirates, many new, some infamous, in lavish detail, each entry explores the rogue's history, his or her goals and agendas, while hinting at the curse that keeps them at sea and the treasures they guard. In addition, the pirate's key crewmen receive extensive attention, presenting them in all their cunning and brutality to breathe life into the thrill-seeking corsairs. Finally, the pirate ship, allies, and enemies round out the chapter, culminating with a campaign framework to help you build adventures centered on these various characters.
The buccaneers described in this sourcebook include:
Buccaneers of Freeport is a game sourcebook designed for all roleplaying games. Free from mechanics, its contents can be adapted for Green Ronin's True20 Adventure Roleplaying or any other popular RPG, ensuring this sourcebook is useful no matter what campaign setting or game system you use.

The DC ADVENTURES Quick Start includes an explanation of the rules, full game statistics for Superboy and Knockout, and a short adventure featuring a brawl at the county fair, so you can jump right in to the action.
These ENnie Award-winning Quick-Start rules and the adventure Journey to King's Landing are mean to be your introduction to both the A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying game and to the fantasy world detailed in George R.R. Martin's best-selling series of novels.
A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying is about Machiavellian court politics, family alliances and enmities, the rise and fall of kingdoms, and the clash of armies, but it is also about honor and duty, family, the responsibilities of leadership, love and loss; tournaments, murders, conspiracies, prophecies, dreams, war, great victories, and terrible defeats. It's about knights, both false and true... and it's about dragons.

Fewer Greene County school districts might be worth some discussionPosted Friday, August 3, 2007, at 8:55 PM
District 45 State Representative Bruce Borders (R-Jasonville) probably raised some eyebrows of suspicion from area school administrators this week when he slightly suggested in a discussion about the current property tax mess Greene Countians are facing that now might be the time to think about trimming costs in a big way.
One way is obviously to curtail the amount of money that is spent in the county's five school districts for administrators and support staff. I have never fully understood why this large county by area and small by population with just over 32,000 residents has to have five separate school districts. Each district has an administrator who's making nearly $90,000 a year in addition to a multiple number of principals, assistant principals, athletic directors, office staffs and so on. This is not a personal attack on any of them. They all are doing an admirable job and providing our youngsters with incredible educational training. It's about dollars and cents. Borders noted that Greene County is a good example of how there is an overload of administrative costs involved with the operation of five separate school districts -- in a county with a small population. While not suggesting there be a change in that setup, the Republican lawmaker said speaking from a fiscal view, a smaller consolidated administrative set up might be something worth exploring. Other counties and community -- much larger than Greene County -- operate with a single superintendent and central administrative office. Vigo County is a good example. The lawmaker also pointed out that state government -- the governor and lawmakers -- are wrongly taking a lot of the heat for the current property tax situation. It's true, the legislature and governor are responsible for the tax formula that is used to calculate property tax bills. But local units of government -- our schools, cities, towns and township bear a serious fiscal responsibility in the way they spend the property tax revenues they receive. The state only receives a small fraction of the local property taxes collected. The bulk of the tax revenues are divided up among the local municipal bodies and schools. Borders just might be right. Now might be the time to think about how to creatively cut local spending before it's too late and property taxpayers take up residence on the "poor farm". Two school districts in this county just might make better sense to the taxpayers. What do you think? Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] Sounds like more unemployment in Greene County as scores of teachers are let go. -- Posted by Ethermuse on Sat, Aug 4, 2007, at 10:38 AM
Sounds like more unemployment in Greene County as scores of teachers are let go. I say this because, in my humble opinion, teachers jobs are often sacrificed to pay for administrative costs. Also, school boards are often run by folks who, for sake of another term, are power-hungry and not willing to give up their power for such a grand experiment. -- Posted by Ethermuse on Sat, Aug 4, 2007, at 12:16 PM
reneabram, I get that...I'm just saying that will never happen without teachers being dismissed...'tis the power game. I know that we are wasting tons of money on administration in Greene County but I just don't see how, with as many power brokers we have in our school systems, any single corperation can be formed. All that said, I'm for it! -- Posted by Ethermuse on Sat, Aug 4, 2007, at 3:19 PM
Consolidation of school corporations in Greene County is going to be nearly impossible. The only school district without debt is Bloomfield (because they have not yet built a new facility, but with all the talk about not being able to take in 50 more students, perhaps that's what is being considered). The State will not consolidate school districts who have the debt load Greene County schools now have. There are 4 newer schools (with Eastern being the newest). Each time there is consolidation, the State has to take on and eat that debt load. If this "local spending" is truly the problem with the property tax fiasco, then why wasn't Mr. Borders (or any other lawmaker) suggesting consolidation three years ago when he took office? They knew this situation was going to happen that long ago. Why only now are we hearing that it is the County's spending and local spending that has caused the property tax problem? We're hearing it because the entire legislature (both Ds and Rs) are responsible for this irresponsible situation. THEY developed this "circuit breaker" taxing situation. THEY got rid of the inventory tax (which was a great thing for economic development), but THEY did not plan for the aftermath of it -- i.e. what monies are going to replace the void where the inventory tax once was. Perhaps our local government and schools could cut back some, but honestly, when the power to make real change rests in the hands of the legislature, and now that they've made a giant mistake, the blame is being placed elsewhere. I'm sad to see this because cities and towns struggle now to pay for basic services. Let's stop pointing the fingers outward from Indy toward Greene County and local government and work together to make sensible laws that will not cause more Greene County residents to have to choose between paying their taxes and buying food and medication. Perhaps Rep. Borders could introduce legislation mandating that the State MUST take the debt load from counties wanting to consolidate their school districts to save money. If that is done, the 5 school districts will have 1 Superintendent, thereby saving nearly $450,000 in those payrolls coming out of County coffers. -- Posted by Greenee on Sat, Aug 4, 2007, at 5:57 PM
Consolidation is more about combining administrations than physical movement of students. The school corporations (under consolidation) would become Greene County School Corporation, instead of 5 separate and distinct corporations with different school boards. There would only be one school board (probably initially made up of two members from each current school corporation or something like that.) There would not be a reduction in teachers because there is no reduction in students or physical facilities. -- Posted by Greenee on Sat, Aug 4, 2007, at 10:33 PM
Greenee, that is all well and good BUT you and I both know that it wouldn't take long for the power brokers to want to consolidate those "smaller, less cost-effective" schools into a basketball/ football powerhouse...um..I mean, fine educational facility! -- Posted by Ethermuse on Sun, Aug 5, 2007, at 7:22 AM
I am always amused when any elected official assigns the blame for any financial crisis. Without a doubt, the blame is always designated for someone other than the elected officials. Also, Ethermuse has a very valid point, prior to any merger of administrations (which would be a good topic to assess), the administrators will pursue other methods to tighten the purse strings. That is always a good indication that the number of teachers in the county will soon decline. -- Posted by simmons on Sun, Aug 5, 2007, at 6:53 PM
It's funny that this topic has come up again -- a school superintendent suggested this about 20 years ago or so. The cost savings of consolidating the administration would be significant. A better way of realizing this cost savings, while keeping the schools as they are would be this: Form a school "management" company for all school districts. Hire a superintendent, an assistant superintendent, an HR guru, a sharp chief financial officer, a book keeper, and an office assistant or two. The county could afford very, very competent and qualified individuals, while reducing overall costs. This management team would be "leased" to the school corporations in the county to run the operations. That way, the schools stay intact (I think they will have to considering the geographic distance between them in the county), while realizing the savings! The crucial part of this is we can't just hire anybody (no relatives of so-and-so or whatever), these people need to be very good at what they do. -- Posted by The Raven on Tue, Aug 7, 2007, at 8:33 AM
I disagree w/ Rene Abram. Eastern Greene is going to be 3 separate schools. One high school, one middle school and one elementary school. With each school having at least 300 plus students I think two administrators per school are necessary. Please find a high school in Indiana comparable to Easterns' size that does not have a Principal and Assistant principal..the same for the Middle School and Elementary School. Wake up to reality, you cannot expect 1 administrator for 300 kids! -- Posted by MS on Tue, Aug 7, 2007, at 8:52 AM
Several issues all of which the rest of the world deal with routinely. Busing...welocme to the real world. A bus ride of 45 minutes to an hour (including stops to pick up and let off) is standard for everywhere. In the afternoons, the "late buses" frequently go for 1 - 1 1/2 hours as the combine several routes for later activity children Non-main curriculum course offerings...welcome to the real world. Regardless of your personal interests, languages (spanish, French, german, mandarin, etc. are needed to allow for our kids to experince what happens outside the county in the real world. Experiencing other cultures and being able to speak a foreign language (besides Greene Countian) is a must in todays world of business. Music, art, computer classes; as the numbers increase and the costs decrease (less administration) then there is more money for education for the kids (simple ISTEP Algebra, thank you). Athletics...This would allow those schools with and without certin athletic programs or those with few numbers to field full teams to do so. Those kids who join athletics for the fun would not be forced to face significantly better competition with all of the loss of face but rather compete at their own level for fun. There are many potentially fine football players at other schools in the county who get lost after the little leagues end because they do not have a place to advance to. And dare I use that four letter word "soccer" which due to the supposed cash crunch (p.s. love the new grandstands) and other contrivences of the school board and that respected football hall of famer AD, precludes a significant number of kids from enjoying this activity as a school sanctioned one. Forget the real world, everybody surrounding Greene County has it and the kids definitely want it (but what does that matter). In conclusion, I offer Nick Schneider and Representative Bruce my congratulations for their bravado in suggesting the obvious, and my condolences because a school board position is one of power and in aging men, keeping just a little power is more important that doing what is so obviously right and they will fight to keep it. -- Posted by Insideoutsider on Tue, Aug 7, 2007, at 1:07 PM
This is really a subject that needs to be discussed/considered. If for no other reason, to objectively evaluate what Greene County is currently doing. I believe the comparison of Greene County to Vigo County is a difficult one, but lets look at it anyway. The data I'll refer to is available at http://www.doe.state.in.us then on the left side of the web page select K-12 School Data, then select the county, the corporations will be in green and the schools will be blue. I'm looking at the corporations since this is an article concerning combining central offices. To start off, Vigo County has an enrollment of 16,431 and all five schools in Greene County have a combined enrollment of 5,693. Vigo County has 36 certified (licensed) positions in their central office. Greene County has a total of 6 certified positions in the five central offices. In Vigo County that is 1 certified central office person to serve 456 students (16,431/36 = 456). Greene County has 1 certified central office person to serve 948 (5,693/6 = 948). Next, look at other administrators (building level etc.); Vigo County has 55 of those or 298 students to one administrator. Greene County has 24 of these and that gives us 237 students to one administrator. Then there is a category called Administrators and Other Certified Personnel. Vigo County has 163 of these, so that gives them 100 students to each of these staff members. Greene County has 50 of these and that gives us 113 students to each of these staff members. In two of the three areas the Greene County schools are serving more students per staff member. In the central office that number is over double the number in Vigo County. Gov. Daniels started this conversation over a year ago. The Indiana Policy Center at I.U. crunched the numbers and presented the results to a committee chaired by Sen. Luke Kenley of Noblesville. After reviewing the summary, Gov. Daniels seemed to back away from the idea and proposed that smaller school corporations "ban together" and try to obtain some economy of size in their purchasing. I know the superintendents in Greene County have been investigating some of these possibilities. Looking a local property taxes: Vigo County has a local property tax levy of $3,168 per student (ADM), while the average of the Greene County Schools is $2,866 per student. Property taxes are high, I just paid mine a few days ago. The amount that goes to schools is the largest amount on my property tax bills, but providing all students with a free education is undoubtedly the most important task for our local governmental units. So, continue to talk, read, and educate yourselves. This proposal will likely not just go away. I expect to see some sort of future referendum on the subject and we need to "look before we leap!" -- Posted by Barefoot Farmer on Tue, Aug 7, 2007, at 7:14 PM
Interesting to see how many education experts we seem to have in Greene County... I didn't realize there were so many. *Note: snide remarks only directed to those deserving; not all. By the way, ONE corporation seems to make the most sense, from a taxpayer perspective to a teacher perspective to even an administrative perspective. You can make lengthy lists of pros and a moderately long list of cons (I guarantee the "pro" list will be much, much longer - if you need to see it, call me; I'll start work on it, but it may take until Thanksgiving to list the pros), but comparing Greene County schools to any other county/corporation setup - with or without data - is an apples-to-oranges comparison, particularly without first-hand knowledge of how those corporations operate. Even as a Greene County resident (and an actually credentialed educationist), I can't claim to know how our schools all operate - just one not-so-hot example with a couple of good-to-decent ones. The starting point is a good, thorough examination and comparison of our existing five corps. and how they could be put together in a model that might be entirely original and innovative (heaven forbid). Of course, there is one final vantage point to see this from - not that anyone will look there - and it would be that of the students. I wonder what they think? -- Posted by bradcrites on Wed, Aug 8, 2007, at 9:43 PM
I don't agree. Barefoot makes the real point here that you get more layerss of "buracracy" the bigger you are, and that actually increases costs. Whats most important is the children-not the grades they make in some standard test or if they win state championships or what not. I as a child rode the school bus in vigo county for over an hour each way and today that same bus is now taking a half hour longer. This problem does rest firmly with the state legislators and the states budget-the local property taxes have to raise to meet the short fall from the states return of Educations portion of the Sales and income taxes. In the district I live the rate actually dropped because the STATE told them it had to. The are in Finacial difficulty and could have stood to not dropped the rate. -- Posted by silerCityDude on Fri, Aug 10, 2007, at 11:30 AM
If Mr. Crites is correct that it can be done, then it is something that should be looked into to save money. My main point was that the legislature is blaming cities, towns, and counties for its failure to put in place any mechanism to fill in the gap where the inventory tax used to be -- and then want to blame others for it. The truth is, the legislature was telling everyone it would be fine three years ago. Their position changed once they saw what was happening. They had the power to change it and did nothing. What's worse, they didn't want to listen to the people who were telling them how bad it was going to be. Now they (and the Governor's office) look really bad because they are backpeddling to fix a problem they were told was going to happen. -- Posted by Greenee on Sat, Aug 11, 2007, at 5:56 PM
I have a source on a county review board and he told me that the inventory tax removal did not effect most of the local townships much at all. ( the farming townships that is) and the farming townships are the ones with the worst economic conditions of schools. -- Posted by silerCityDude on Sun, Aug 12, 2007, at 11:21 PM
I have said this for the past 6 years that I have lived in the Bloomfield area. Everyone is afraid of giving up their power. It would make alot more sense to cut admin costs. WRV & Blmfd. are just a few miles apart. They could move elementry kids in one location and JR/High in another. But this would probably make to much sense and I know it is going to step on toes. -- Posted by DB@Blmfd. on Mon, Aug 13, 2007, at 9:41 AM
In the Summary of Legislation considered by the First Regular Session of the 115th General Assemby Nove 21, 2006 - April 29, 2007, here is an exact quote about what caused the spike in property taxes. Please note #2: "There were four main factors that led to the anticipated 23.8% average increase in property tax for Indiana property owners in 2007: (1) annual adjustments (trending); (2) the repeal of the inventory tax; (3) state and locally mandated property tax increases from the last few years; and (4) return of the Homestead credit to 20% (from 28% in 2006)." NOTE: The language that is interesting is the word "anticipated" -- they KNEW this was going to happen and why but they didn't fix it when there was still time to do it. -- Posted by Greenee on Tue, Aug 14, 2007, at 3:05 PM
Renea Bram has a good point about the spending issue. We spend more per child than any nation on public screwling, and yet we get stupider every year. Why? Is this money spent on beautiful schools, sports facilities, lawnmowers, tractors, paging systems, air conditioning and dare I say it, administration? -- Posted by hilljak on Tue, Aug 14, 2007, at 8:30 PM
ReneAbram-Our kids might be our future tax payers, but they will also be future parents who won't want to send their kids to crappy schools. You won't get good teachers if you have 1 administrator for 300 plus students and the teachers have to take up the slack. I'm sorry, but in this day and age you can't rely on other parents to raise responsible kids. It's unfortunate, but you just can't depend on it. FYI - I'm not hiding behind initials, most do not use their names when they blog. I think with your tax concerns you should have run for county council/commissioner instead of school board, that might have been a better fit! No hard feelings, but I just feel if you're going to be a member of a school board, you should put the kids first and a school administration requesting 2 principals per building is reasonable...now about needing 2 superintendents, I'd say you and I would agree that is not necessary :) -- Posted by MS on Wed, Aug 15, 2007, at 6:16 AM
I also think that consolidation of the schools in this county would be a great idea. As was said it has nothing to do with busing the students it has to do with saving costs on admin. positions. I believe Sullivan Co. also does this. They have an elem. in Carlisle, a high school in Sullivan, elem. in Sullivan as well. All run under one school district with one Super's office and school board. The schools could be set up to even interact with each other possibly offering more class options for the students. -- Posted by gccitizen on Wed, Aug 22, 2007, at 8:42 PM

Tonight The Bobcats match up against the Utah Jazz. The game won't be televised locally, but if anyone has a link I'm sure that you'll get copious amounts of positive rep flowing your way.
I don't know about the rest of you, but there are couple of things I'd love to see before the preseason ends.
- Tyson Chandler on the court
- Raja work his way through his shooting slump
- Lexi convince LB ( and us ) that he can handle those backup PF minutes.
- as meaningless as they are, I'd like to see a few more preseason wins.
What do you guys hope to see in the next few games?

The coin-operated unit has been installed outside Trendy Pooches dog grooming salon in Market Street, Hoylake.
The trend started in the USA and salon owner Glynis Stewart bought her dog wash from Germany.
She said it was already proving a hit with her canine clientele.
She said: "It's here for anyone to wash their dog at any time of the day. It's attracted a lot of attention and people have been taking photos of it."

Arizona State makes statement with rout of Colorado: By the numbers
With the Buffaloes looking to avoid getting swept in the Grand Canyon State, ASU took a 9-8 lead with 13:48 left in the first half and never let go, rolling to a 72-51 win. The Sun Devils won their second straight game and moved ahead of Colorado (15-6, 4-4) in the Pac-12 standings.
Here's a look at Saturday's contest by the numbers:
The Sun Devils topped 70 points and won by more than 20 with just two players reaching double-figures in scoring: Point guard Jahii Carson with 18 and forward Jonathan Gilling with 12 (off the bench).
Gilling was a perfect 4-for-4 from behind the 3-point line. He has made all seven of his 3s since moving to the bench two games ago. The junior forward made four out of five shots overall in the game. Up until his only miss of the game, he had a streak going of seven makes in a row since losing his spot in the staring lineup.
ASU moved to 4-3 in conference with the win, and 15-5 overall. The team now has the fifth best record in the Pac-12 after knocking Colorado down to sixth place.
Colorado freshman guard Jaron Hopkins, a native of Mesa, Ariz., had a rough outing. The only stats that stood out for him were his five turnovers and five fouls. He finished with four points on 1-of-6 shooting, but did swipe two steals.
The Buffaloes were never able to recapture the lead from ASU after the first six minutes, 12 seconds of the contest, when the Sun Devils jumped ahead 9-8 on a Jordan Bachynski layup.
Bachynski entered the game just 12 blocks shy of tying a conference record -- held by Arizona's Anthony Cook. The Sun Devils senior recorded three against the Buffaloes, and is just nine away from tying the record with 11 games to go in the regular season.
The Sun Devils rolled to their biggest win since they started conference play; however, the 21-point margin is just their seventh widest of the season.
ASU's bench overshadowed that of Colorado Saturday. The Sun Devils' reserves scored 24 -- led by Gilling's 12 -- while the Buffaloes' bench contributed just seven points.
Saturday's game was marred by turnovers -- from both teams. The two of them combined for 35 turnovers, compared to only 23 assists. Even though Arizona State won the turnover war -- giving it away 16 times, compared to Colorado's 19 -- the Buffaloes recorded 12 steals, while ASU only posted five.
Colorado posted some anemic shooting numbers -- 20-for-47 from the field (42.6 percent) and 2-for-11 on 3-pointers (18.2 percent) -- but the worst had to be the team's nine free throws out of 24 attempts, good (bad?) for a percentage of 37.5. The Sun Devils, on the contrary, converted 17 out of 21 free tosses (81 percent).
Carson's first bucket of the game was a 3-pointer, and it put him at exactly 1,000 points in his Sun Devil career. The sophomore sensation finished with 18 points on 5-of-12 shooting. He also added six rebounds and four assists.

Hmm... I had good results and never experienced these problems with Windows XP running on VirtualBox 4.1.18 under Ubuntu (from 10.04 to 12.10).
Yeah - I know it works for some people, I guess it could be down to firmware/bios differences both on the computer and in the ant stick.
Perhaps the timeout problems are due to the USB drivers.

If a highway is protected by a "STOP" sign, it is the duty of the driver approaching the highway from an intersecting highway, [unless otherwise directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic control signal,] to stop [before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection] [at a clearly marked stop line] [at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway] and to yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian legally crossing the driver's roadway, and to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another highway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard.
After stopping and looking both to the right and to the left, the driver, while exercising ordinary care, may proceed into the intersection. If a vehicle approaching on the protected highway is so near to the intersection as to constitute an apparent or immediate hazard, the driver of the yielding vehicle must wait until the other vehicle has passed. The driver of the yielding vehicle may enter the intersection only if a person of ordinary prudence would have had reasonable grounds to believe that the other vehicle was so distant from the intersection and proceeding at such a speed that one could safely proceed in advance of the other vehicle.

The Phillies Are Not Phigments of Imagination
I recently received a letter from a young girl who was confused about the Philadelphia Phillies. In her short life, she had never seen the Phillies.
Her little friends, so she wrote me, said the Phillies were a figment of her imagination, a team that was made up so that there would be something to anchor the National League basement. She says she was told that sportswriters went along with it because they always wanted to write fiction and needed something to do between calls from irate Little League parents.
Well, Virginia, your friends are wrong. They have been affected by the cynicism of reporters and the skepticism of a nation with no direction. They think nothing can be that bad unless it was made up. But, Virginia, the truth is that there are Phillies and, unfortunately, this year, likem most of their history, they are that bad.
The first game ever played in the National League was played in 1876 in Philadelphia. Of course, the Philadelphia team didn't last a season, but if it did, it would have been a great team. In 1883, the Phillies showed up and never left—even if it seems that way now and then. In 2007, the Phillies became the first professional team to have a lifetime record of 10,000 losses.
Not believe in the Phillies? You might as well not believe in their two World Series championships and seven National League pennants, and the all-White Whiz Kids of '50, the team with the youngest average age of players to win a league title. However, because of a broad streak of racism by the owners, and a refusal to draft Afro-American players, the Phillies became the last baseball team to integrate, a decade after Jackie Robinson became a rookie for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.
Not believe in the Phillies? You'd have to overlook their bottom half finish most of the next 25 years after the Whiz Kids Miracle, their record-setting 23 straight losses in 1961, and the Philly Phold of '64, when they finished in a tie for second after leading the league by six games with two weeks left in the season.
Not believe in the Phillies? You'd have to not believe in Mike Schmidt, maybe the greatest third baseman ever; you'd have to forget Garry Maddox, the "secretary of de-fence" who covered the outfield better than snow in February. You'd have to give up believing in Ed Delahanty, the first Phillie to enter the Hall of Fame, or Chuck Klein who entered the Hall with a .326 average and statistics that would choke even the Nielsen ratings.
If there were no Phillies, there would have been no Steve Carlton, Robin Roberts or Tug McGraw, no Richie Ashburn, Bob Boone or Del Ennis, no Larry Bowa, Granny Hamner, Jim Konstanty, Cookie Rojas, Mike Lieberthal, or even "Puddin' Head" Jones.
If there were no Phillies, there'd be nowhere for Jimmy Foxx, Pete Rose, and Dale Murphy to have gone at the end of their careers. Not believe in the Phillies? You might as well not believe in John Kruk, Darren Daulton, and Lenny Dykstra. You'd have to forget about managers Dallas Green, Danny Ozark, Gene Mauch, and Charlie Manuel, who led the Phillies to five straight division titles beginning in 2007, and the 2008 World Series championship, but is probably now wishing he was back in Japan, where he was a star player.
Not believe in the Phillies? You'd have to not believe that owners are poor judges of talent who can take great teams and trade them away, and then spend years trying to build a great team. You would have to erase from your memory 26 professional ball players who this year are earning $172 million. You'd have to forget Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay, Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Cole Hamels, Jonathan Papelbon, Jimmy Rollins, Joe Blanton, and Hunter Pence, each of whom earns every two days more than a Philadelphia firefighter earns in a year.
You would have to forget that the millionaire Phillies have become poster children for every conceivable sports injury, and possess a won-loss record that not even the great broadcaster Harry Kalas could generate much enthusiasm for after a 102-60 season last year that ended not long after the playoffs began.
Not believe in the Phillies? In this great playing field of ours, we are but mere synthetic fibers on the Astroturf of life, unable to grasp the universe, let alone the origin of the Phanatic, but the Phillies do exist.
Yes, Virginia, there really is a Phillies. It exists as certainly as dropped balls, parking lot jams, and overpriced stadium beer and cheesesteaks. No Phillies? Thank God they exist, and will exist forever. A decade from now–nay, two or three decades from now–they may again win a championship, and continue to make glad the heart of frustrated fans who make ice hockey crowds look civil.
Somewhere, Virginia, the sun is shining bright. But, there is no joy in Citizens Bank Park, for these citizens have struck out.
Walter Brasch–who was once a sports editor but went to baseball games mostly for the buffet in the press box–is a syndicated social issues columnist and book author. His current book is the critically-acclaimed novel Before the First Snow, which is devoid of any mention of baseball. He acknowledges the assistance New York Sun reporter Francis P. Church who told a young girl in 1897 to believe in Santa and in miracles. But, then again, he never met the 2012 Phillies.

Rest easy
Another wet start, tents and things started to get pretty damp. A new chill in the air aswell, did add poetry to a very pretty area, the woods envelope eveything around so it feels wild. Trevs rear tyre went pop, we managed to sort it out so we could ride... only very slowly to Bastogne. It was meant to be a rest day but we ended up doing 20 miles that took us hours.

1. You will get found out. No matter that you set up a false account and try to use IP blocking software. It does not matter. I promise you that some way, somehow what you do will get revealed. Why anyone any longer thinks they can truly remain anonymous is beyond me. Unless you want to go to these lengths. But even those will not protect you if you slip up and tell a friend or your behavior gets recognized.
2. No one wants to hear someone complain. Even your best friends can only listen to so much whining. Think of it this way you if would not go to a bar and spend the evening telling your friends about how miserable you are then why do it online? When faced with an unpleasant situation there are really only three solutions. Either fixes it, walk away or grin and bear it with the best good grace you can muster. Choose one of those and do so knowing you made a conscience decision and stick with it. Stop moaning.
3. You are hurting your personal brand. We live a world where full time employment is no longer guaranteed and we need to think of ourselves as our own startups. So how we appear online becomes of vital importance. Not only potential HR executives and bosses are looking. All those contacts you have on LinkedIn can see you, and not only your direct twitter followers but absolutely anyone on twitter who follows a hash tagged subject. None of us like complaining celebrities so why should anybody be different?

Jack Robert Culley of Superior, Wis. and St. Petersburg, Fla., passed away peacefully at home on May 20, 2012
Jack Robert Culley of Superior, Wis., and St. Petersburg, Fla., passed away peacefully at home on May 20, 2012. He was almost 83 years old.
Until he fell ill just a few months ago he was operating his business, sailing, playing tennis and golf, flying his plane and enjoying his friends, family and service organizations.
Born July 16, 1929, to Kenneth and Kathryn Culley in Superior, Neb., Jack spent his childhood on a Hawk Springs, Wyo., farm and in Cheyenne, Wyo. He graduated from Cheyenne High School and enlisted in the army in 1946. After service he began a career in marketing while gaining a degree from Bryant & Stratton Business College. His education grew on the job with Pillsbury, and he eventually landed in Minneapolis in the refrigerated foods division. It was in Minneapolis that he and Carolyn Culley, whom he married in 1948, raised their four children.
Twenty years later he found a way to bring his expertise and passion together when he started Sailboats, Inc. The company expanded beyond selling sailboats to include sailboat charter fleets, sailing schools and marina management. He was a commodore at LOWISA and helped found the Leech Lake regatta. Through these ventures he was proud to introduce many to sailing and increase participation in the sport in the upper Midwest.
Forever entrepreneurial, Jack and his partners developed homes and a few years after he got a pilot's license, he began an air charter business. Jack met his wife Lynda Culley, in 1983 after he moved to Superior, Wis.
He generously contributed to the community through work on the boards of the Superior Rotary Club, the Wisconsin Tourism and Coastal Management Councils, Superior Memorial Hospital, Duluth-Superior Area Community Foundation, and as a volunteer pilot for Mercy Flights Southeast. Jack enjoyed the companionship and activities at St. Petersburg Country Club and the Kitchi Gammi Club in Duluth.
His son David and sister Cheryl predeceased him.
Many will miss Jack's enthusiasm for life, his humor, guidance and support. His inspiration will be missed and the loss felt deeply by his wife of 27 years, Lynda; and his three surviving children, Jack, Kathy (Dave Schwier, daughter Clare) and Tom (Joyce Houmes); Lynda's children, Cindy McDonnell (Brad, children Helen and Hanna), Erik Scott (Paula, children Emily and Marit); former wife Carolyn Culley; and many friends and associates.
CELEBRATION OF LIFE: will be held later this summer in Duluth-Superior. Memorials can be made to Mercy Flight SE, 8864 Airport Blvd., Leesburg, FL 34788 or to a charity of choice. Contact a family member, Sailboats Inc., or visit www.internationalcremation.com/obituaries for more details or to leave comments.

¶Of his true state.
¶Quee. Did he receiue you well?

¶To heare of it: they are heere about the Court,
¶And as I thinke, they haue already order
¶This night to play before him.
¶To heare and see the matter.
¶King. With all my hart,
And it doth much content me
¶To heare him so inclin'd.
Good gentlemen giue him a further edge,
¶King. Sweet Gertrard, leaue vs two,
1680That he as t'were by accedent, may heere

¶We may of their encounter franckly iudge,
¶And gather by him as he is behau'd,

¶That thus he suffers for.
¶And for your part Ophelia, I doe wish
¶That your good beauties be the happy cause
¶Will bring him to his wonted way againe,
¶To both your honours.
¶Your lowlines; we are oft too blame in this,

¶Whether tis nobler in the minde to suffer
¶The slings and arrowes of outragious fortune,
¶To sleepe, perchance to dreame, I there's the rub,
1720For in that sleepe of death what dreames may come
¶When we haue shuffled off this mortall coyle
¶That makes calamitie of so long life:
¶For who would beare the whips and scornes of time,
¶The pangs of despiz'd loue, the lawes delay,
¶That patient merrit of th'vnworthy takes,
¶When he himselfe might his quietas make
1730With a bare bodkin; who would fardels beare,
¶To grunt and sweat vnder a wearie life,
¶But that the dread of something after death,
¶No trauiler returnes, puzzels the will,
1735And makes vs rather beare those ills we haue,
¶Then flie to others that we know not of.
¶Thus conscience dooes make cowards,
¶And thus the natiue hiew of resolution
1740And enterprises of great pitch and moment,
¶With this regard theyr currents turne awry,
¶And loose the name of action. Soft you now,

1745Oph. Good my Lord,
¶How dooes your honour for this many a day?
¶Ham. I humbly thanke you well.
¶Oph. My Lord, I haue remembrances of yours
¶That I haue longed long to redeliuer,

Definition of scorbutic in English:
Syllabification: scor·bu·ticPronunciation: /skôrˈbyo͞otik
- Relating to or affected with scurvy. See also antiscorbutic.More example sentences
- Cook was referring to the fact that Tupaia refused malt, portable soup and all the other remedies against scurvy, and that Green's addiction to drink was precipitating scorbutic symptoms.
- The lens epithelium of scorbutic animals had 2.5 times as much galactitol (the polyol of galactose) on day 4 than those animals fed vitamin C in their diets.
- By the way Mr McDougall, the people shouting out these scorbutic remarks are not on the receiving end of the blows being landed, and one boxer is not 50 times the weight of the other.
mid 17th century: from modern Latin scorbuticus, from medieval Latin scorbutus 'scurvy', perhaps from Middle Low German schorbūk (from schoren 'to break' + būk 'belly').

Drum roll please! Introducing silly straw tricks! Just last week Hearsay happened to be at her favorite meat 'n three, Jim's Grill in Hartwell, when Hearsayer Stephanie, who works at the grill, introduced yours truly to some truly silly straw tricks. Hearsay felt she should share this information with all you Hearsayers who have nothing better to do than master some truly silly straw tricks.
The "Pop" trick. "Take the paper off the straw," Ms. S. explained. "Grab the straw from both ends and start winding each end of the straw around itself. Get as much air as you can trapped in the middle of the straw. When you get to about an inch and a half of straw with air in it, stop twisting. Have a partner thump the middle of the straw with his index finger. If the trick works, you should hear a loud pop!" Ms. S added that Hearsayers who try this trick should be ready to thump the straw as soon as it is rolled up. Also, she added, "Olive Garden and Red Lobster straws are the best. They're real strong."
Hootie's Potato Trick! Now Hearsayer Hootie, who along with his wife, Hearsayer Sherry, runs Jim's, tuned in with his "Potato in the Straw" trick. "Now you know," Hootie said, "you can take a straw, take the paper off, put your thumb real tightly over one end of the straw and poke the other end right through the potato." Hootie demonstrated his trick and the straw went through the tater like a knife through warm butter! "You can use any kind of potato," Hootie said. "Sticking your thumb over one end of the straw traps air in the straw and makes it stronger."
And the "Wiggling Worm" trick. Take a straw with the paper still on it. Push the paper from either end toward the middle of the straw until it is bunched up real tightly in the middle. Then slide the bunched-up paper off the straw. "Be careful to keep the paper bunched up when you slide it off," Ms. S said, "then put the bunched-up paper on a table. Get a few drops of water or iced tea in the straw and drop a few drops of the liquid on the straw. Watch it grow!"
Last trick, which is a little difficult to explain. Get a straw and take the paper off. Get a pair of scissors and on one end of the straw, cut out a little "V." The cut end of the straw should look like it has two little legs or it should look like a dunce cap. Take the cut end of the straw and put it in your mouth, making sure the two pointy ends of the straw are sitting on top of each other. Then, blow into the straw! You should hear a loud noise, which will change in pitch when you cut pieces off the other end of the straw. Good luck! Have fun! See you next week!

Does Maidana's New Style, Possibly Keep Khan Further Away? |
Does Maidana's New Style, Possibly Keep Khan Further Away? |

As we all saw Maidana fight from a new standpoint (using his jab constantly and moving his head), does that keep Khan any further from looking Maidana's way? Judging from his performance in the Alexander fight, which most thought he wouldn't make it in the WW division, people looked at him as a stepping stone for Khan at 147.
At this point, Madiana's new style (though it still a bit of polishing) would give Khan shit at the moment. He obviously still has some pop at 147, so how do you see this rematch going? Thoughts? |

maidana definitely showed me stuff i haven't seen him do before. i don't know that he picked that up working with roberto garcia though. that may have been some skills buried deep inside of him from argentina. whatever the case...i like what i saw.
amir should steer clear of maidana for now and get himself a few wins under his belt with his new trainer before he thinks about making another run for it. the problem is see is that he and his ppl are going to want to get paid the big money he's been making...and to get that money, u have to take risks. right now, money should be his last concern. virgil is the kind of guy that can give him the missing ingredients...but that's going to take some stepping back and rebuilding foundation. that means flying off the radar for a little bit. in the end...it'll be worth it. the real question is...'do he and his ppl understand that and are they willing to sacrifice to make that happen?' sometimes u have to take a few steps back and a few to the side...just so u can move up further. |
