Lawmakers are working to tie up some loose ends ahead of this weekend's vote on the state budget.
State legislators agreed on a framework for the $135 billion spending plan on Wednesday.
However, advocates for the disabled are raising concerns about a planned six percent cut to the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver says some of the money may be restored, but it's not clear how much.
"There are some restorations, plus there's additional federal money that we are going to appropriate. So the overall appropriations are higher than last year. However, there will be some restrictions on some of that money," Silver said.
"If they can find 350 million to send people a check for a couple of hundred bucks then they can find the 120 million to really preserve the services for people who are so disabled and in need," said Advocate Margaret Raustiala.
That $350 million refers to a rebate for middle class families with children.
Also included in the budget deal is a raise in the minimum wage and an extension of the so-called millionaire's tax.

The Wings are Impressive!

Dramatic, Lots of Fun, Unique

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments about Fallen Angel Mask and Wings:
The wings in particular look great. The pull cords work well and the wings have a big span when they are extended. Even though the pattern is just white printed on black, no texture to it, the look is spooky and fun. The mask is scary and relatively comfortable. We might add an elastic strap near the chin; my son doesn't like how the rubber at the jaw flares out. My 10 year old son wil be wearing this with a plain black robe from an older wizard costume. It looks great. No too complicated but with plenty of impact. Sure to scare unwary girls who are trick or treating, which is apprantly his main objective.

Sledding safety to remember during the winter in Chicago
Monday, December 13, 2010
Winter wouldn't be the same without zooming a sled down a snowy hill. But this favorite snowy-weather pastime could land kids in a heap of trouble. About 20,000 children under age 19 go to the emergency room each year with sledding-related injuries, more than 4 percent requiring hospitalization, according to recent data by the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Boys were more likely to be injured, accounting for nearly 60 percent of all injuries. More than 42 percent of the injuries involved children age 10 to 14.
Collisions produced 51 percent of the injuries. While the majority of injuries were fractures, cuts and bruises, collisions were more likely to result in traumatic brain injury. The majority of injuries, 34 percent, occurred to the head. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends all participants wear helmets, sit in a forward-facing position and never slide headfirst down a slope.
To further reduce injury, sleds should be self-propelled. Children and young adults being pulled by motorized vehicles accounted for one-third of all injuries. Those under age 4 were more likely to be involved in accidents with vehicles.
"Given the potential for serious injury, children should never ride a sled that is being pulled by a motorized vehicle of any type including all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, cars, trucks, tractors, motorcycles, dirt bikes and lawn mowers," says the study's co-author, Lara McKenzie, Ph.D., the center's principal investigator.
The Forest Preserve District of Cook County, which maintains 10 lighted and unlighted sledding and coasting hills, recommends children under age 12 wear a helmet and be supervised by an adult, and prohibits the use of inflatable tubes and metal-railed sleds.

Mr Puzzle - We've got puzzles!
Mr Puzzle's Puzzles are manufactured by Brian Young (alias
Mr Puzzle) in Queensland, Australia. Brian designed the puzzle that has become the inaugural trophy
for the Nob Yoshigahara International Puzzle Design Competition
run in conjunction with the annual International Puzzle Party
(IPP). Brian created a complex burr puzzle based on the IPP logo
complete with it's own puzzling stand. Brian has attended the
last eleven International Puzzle Parties held annual in locations
around the world, including co-hosting the 2007 event at the Gold
Coast right here in South East Queensland. In more recent times Brian's become very interested in designing
and making Sequential Discovery puzzles; a sub set of Take-Apart
puzzles. The key difference between a sequential discovery puzzle
and other take apart puzzles is that you will remove pieces that
will have to be re-used as tools or reinserted to advance. Brian's favourite type of puzzles is complex burrs, particularly
those with multiple or progressive moves and Sequential Discovery
puzzles where there are many moves to open the puzzle or take
the puzzle apart, especially those where the use of tools is required
to do the puzzle. In 2002 Brian designed a progressive move interlocking puzzle
in his Limited Edition range called Ned Kelly. Modelled on the
story of the Australian Bushranger the puzzler must solve ten
different puzzles to discover the tools incorporated in the puzzle.
These tools are required along the way to solve the puzzle. Brian
enjoys not only the puzzle aspect of this puzzle but also the
artistic expression of the work. He calls it Puzzle Art. From 1997-1999 Brian became interested in the concept of multiple
move 18 piece burrs. He came up with a design he called Coming
of Age MkII which has 19 directional moves to remove the first
piece. This is still one of his favourite puzzle designs. Early in 2002 Brian designed The Collective. He expanded on
his interest in complex burr puzzles and designed a puzzle that
enclosed a 5 piece multiple move burr in a 24 piece cage. Brian has always enjoyed designing puzzles with a particular
theme in mind and in 2003 he designed the SEARious Burr, modelled
on Chicago's tallest building, the Sears Tower, for the International
Puzzle Party held in Chicago that year. Brian created this 13
piece interlocking burr incorporating the use of tools supplied
as part of the puzzle. The puzzler must complete 13 moves to unlock
the secret internal mechanism. In 2007 the International Puzzle Party was held on the Gold
Coast and Brian was part of the organising team for the event.
He designed a sequential discovery puzzle called Gold Coast Parking
Meter puzzle as his themed puzzle for the year and even bought
along a real Gold Coast Meter Maid to assist him during the exchange
event; Sophie was certainly a big hit! Click here to see details of
IPP Exchange puzzles Brian had desinged and made.

Congressman's son claims stupidity on video flap
Monday - 11/5/2012, 10:54pm  ET
WASHINGTON (AP) - The son of Virginia Democratic congressman Jim Moran says it was pure "stupidity" that he discussed a plan to cast fraudulent ballots in the upcoming election.
The episode was caught on tape by an undercover operative working for an organization led by a conservative activist. In an interview with Fox News 5 on Monday, Patrick Moran said he didn't grasp exactly what the man was proposing and is angry at himself for not notifying the police.
The young Moran said of the operative, quote, "I was listening to him, but I was not appreciating the magnitude of what he was saying."
Sitting beside his son for the interview, Jim Moran called the incident "mean-spirited gotcha politics." He said he remains proud of his son, who resigned as campaign field director.

An Afghan man is comforted by relatives outside of a hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday. A suicide bomber struck a crowd of Shiite worshippers marking a holy day Tuesday in the Afghan capital as scores of people were killed in an unprecedented wave of violence against the minority Islamic sect in Afghanistan. ( (AP) |
Pakistan pulls forces out of liaison centers along Afghan border, sparking U.S. concern
ISLAMABAD (AP) -- Pakistan on Tuesday temporarily recalled some troops from border posts meant to coordinate activity with international forces in neighboring Afghanistan. Authorities want to discuss how to improve the process after NATO airstrikes last month killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, the military said.
The decision highlighted current problems with coordination because U.S. military officials seemed to think it was another retaliatory move by Pakistan for the NATO strikes. The officials feared it would hamper efforts to liaise with Pakistani forces and increase the risk something could go wrong again.
The troops were recalled Tuesday for "consultation" and should be back at their posts within the next few days, said a senior Pakistani military official. The official did not specify how many troops would be recalled or how many would be left at the border centers.
U.S. military officials said late Monday that Pakistan was pulling out of at least two of the three centers along the border. Both the U.S. and Pakistani officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
The U.S. and Pakistan have offered different accounts of what led to the NATO attacks against two army posts along the Afghan border before dawn on Nov. 26, but the deadly incident seems to have been caused in part by communication breakdowns.
Afghan police say Kabul blast kills at least 48, wounds more than 100
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Afghan officials say 48 people have been killed in a suicide bombing targeting Shiite worshippers in Kabul.
The attacker blew himself up Tuesday in the midst of a crowd of men, women and children gathered outside the Abul Fazl shrine to commemorate the seventh century death of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson Imam Hussein.
Mohammed Zahir, chief of the Kabul Criminal Investigation Department, gave the death toll and said more than 100 people were wounded.
Officials say four other people were killed when a bomb strapped to a bicycle exploded as a convoy of Afghan Shiites drove by in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif.
Dozens of bodies dumped in flashpoint Syrian city, activist group says
BEIRUT (AP) -- A surge in violence in the restive Syrian city of Homs has killed up to 50 people in the past 24 hours, leaving dozens of bodies in the streets, activists said Tuesday.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights cited witnesses as saying 34 bodies were dumped in the streets of Homs on Monday night. Homs-based activist Mohammed Saleh said there was a spate of kidnappings and killings in the city earlier Monday.
The activists' reports could not be independently confirmed. Syria has banned most foreign journalists and prevents the work of independent media.
For nearly nine months, the Syrian government has been trying to crush an uprising against President Bashar Assad. But there are growing signs of an armed insurgency and mounting sectarian tensions that could push the country toward civil war.
Homs has emerged as the epicenter of the uprising, and the government has laid siege to the city for months.
German Chancellor Merkel downplays possible S&P downgrade; says eurozone will stay the course
BERLIN (AP) -- Chancellor Angela Merkel is downplaying the news that Standard & Poor's is examining the credit rating of 15 eurozone countries for a possible downgrade, saying the region is on the path out of its financial crisis.
She told reporters Tuesday that "what a rating agency does is the responsibility of the rating agency" but that leaders would plot a course to "regain confidence" when they meet later this week.
She says "I have always said this is a long process... and it will continue, but we charted the course yesterday with the French president and we will continue to stay the course."
Markets have been jittery following the news that S&P had placed 15 nations on notice for possible downgrades, including France and Germany, which both have a AAA rating.
Republican candidates make impossible pledge to secure US-Mexico border
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich have promised to complete a nearly 1,950-mile fence. Michele Bachmann wants a double fence. Ron Paul pledges to secure the nation's southern border by any means necessary, and Rick Perry says he can secure it without a fence -- and do so within a year of taking office as president.
But a border that is sealed off to all illegal immigrants and drugs flowing north is a promise none of them could keep.
"Securing the border is a wonderful slogan, but that's pretty much all it is," said Ted Galen Carpenter, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute. "Even to come close would require measures that would make legal commerce with Mexico impossible. That's an enormous price for what would still be a very leaky system."
Perry, the longest-serving governor of a state that makes up roughly 65 percent of America's border with Mexico, already knows that. What he's actually pledging, clarifies spokeswoman Catherine Frazier, is achieving "operational control" of the border -- defined by the U.S. Border Patrol as areas where it can detect, respond to and interdict illegal activity either at the border or after entry into the U.S.
The U.S. Border Patrol says 873 miles of the border, about 44 percent, have been brought under operational control. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has said that "the border is better now than it ever has been."
Punishment awaits ex-Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich for trying to hock Obama seat
CHICAGO (AP) -- Rod Blagojevich's days of reckoning arrive Tuesday when a federal judge opens a sentencing hearing for the disgraced former Illinois governor on 18 corruption counts, including trying to auction off President Barack Obama's old Senate seat.
The impeached state executive-turned-reality TV star has good reason to feel anxious and afraid at the two-day hearing in Chicago. He faces the prospect of 10 or more years behind bars.
If Judge James Zagel settles on a sentence Wednesday of more than a decade, that would make it one of the stiffest penalties imposed for corruption in a state with a long history of crooked politics.
Prosecutors will ask Zagel to imprison the twice-elected governor for 15 to 20 years, arguing he has not only shirked all responsibility for his crimes but repeatedly thumbed his nose at the U.S. justice system.
Blagojevich has already paid a price in public ridicule and financial ruin, the defense argues in proposing a term of just a few years. They also seem bent on an approach judges often frown upon at the sentencing stage: Continuing to insist their client is innocent.
Clinton calls Russian election unfair, issues new warning to Islamist winners in Egypt vote
VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) -- Issuing new warnings to two U.S. partners Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton criticized Russia for a parliamentary election she said was rigged and said election gains by Islamist parties must not set back Egypt's push toward democracy after the fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak this year.
She acknowledged the success of Islamist parties in Egyptian parliamentary voting that the U.S. has praised as fair. But many of the winners are not friendly to the United States or U.S. ally Israel, and some secular political activists in Egypt are worried that their revolution is being hijacked. Islamist parties are among the better-known and better-organized in Egypt, and while they were expected to do well in last week's first round voting, a hardline bloc scored surprisingly large gains.
Clinton addressed head-on the fear that the hardliners will crimp human and women's rights.
"Transitions require fair and inclusive elections, but they also demand the embrace of democratic norms and rules," she said. "We expect all democratic actors to uphold universal human rights, including women's rights, to allow free religious practice."
Speaking to the election-monitoring Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Clinton repeated criticism of Russia's weekend elections, in which Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's party won the largest share of parliament seats. Opposition politicians and election monitors say the result was inflated because of ballot-box stuffing and other vote fraud.
Elderly complain about lowering pants for NY airport search, highlighting concerns of aging
NEW YORK (AP) -- With age come such things as catheters, colostomy bags and adult diapers. Now add another indignity to getting old -- having to drop your pants and show these things to a complete stranger.
Two women in their 80s put the Transportation Security Administration on the defensive this week by going public about their embarrassment during screenings in a private room at Kennedy Airport. One claimed she was forced to lower her pants and underwear in front of an agent so that her back brace could be inspected. Another said agents made her pull down her waistband to show her colostomy bag.
While not confirming some of the details, the TSA said a preliminary review shows officers followed the agency's procedures in both cases. But experts said the potential for such searches will increase as the U.S. population ages and receives prosthetics and other medical devices, some of which cannot go through screening machines.
"You have pacemakers, you have artificial hips, you have artificial knees," said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.

Wisconsin shoemaker to open stores in China, reversing virtual 1-way flow of shoes from Asia to US
PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. (AP) -- There's a good chance the shoes you're wearing right now were made in China. Now an American shoemaker wants to put the shoe on the other foot, by persuading the Chinese to wear shoes made in the USA.
The Allen Edmonds Shoe Corp., whose high-end shoes have been worn by U.S. presidents for generations, is preparing to open stores in China while keeping the manufacturing work at home. The plan marks a reversal of sorts in a footwear industry that has flowed almost entirely from East to West.
Nearly 99 percent of shoes sold in the U.S. are imported, with China accounting for about 88 percent of the total, according to a report by the American Apparel & Footwear Association.
Allen Edmonds is hoping to become a larger player in the world market. So the Wisconsin-based shoe company announced Tuesday it has signed a licensing agreement with a Shanghai-based company to sell its shoes in China, Hong Kong and Macau. The first store is slated to open in Shanghai by the end of June.
Conventional wisdom might suggest that the cheapest way to sell to the Chinese is to assemble the products in China, thereby minimizing labor and shipping costs. But Paul Grangaard, Allen Edmonds' top executive, wouldn't hear of it. He said a significant part of his company's appeal is that its products are U.S.-made.

Returning the Nexus 4
Three days with the phone were enough to fall in love with the OS (I have always used iOS devices).
But hardware is of poor quality.
- it won't connect to my home wifi (all other devices can access it no problem)
- signal drops when picking up the device in one hand
- buzzing sound coming from the earpiece
- rattling sound (which I have read on this forum some say it's normal. But if it is normal, why do some people not have it?)
- battery life way too short
Too bad, love the large screen, love Android.
But I am going back to a device with great build quality. And if there is any problem I can go to the shop and have it replaced as many times as it takes to have a fully working one. - 02-03-2013, 11:36 AM #2
Re: Returning the Nexus 4
Give the N4 one more chance. I had the rattle and the buzzing issues. The RMA process was very easy. My replacement does not have the buzz and battery life is better, although I was not bothered by it before. Rattling is still there but that also doesn't bother me. I don't believe that will ever go away.
The Google RMA reps are very pleasant and definitely make me believe that Google wants us to be happy with our N4's. I'm sure they will refund your money if you are not happy with your replacement. - 02-03-2013, 03:13 PM #4
Re: Returning the Nexus 4
I have none of the problems you experience. Maybe you got a bad device. I think it's hard for iphone users to switch over. The Android UI is too customizable and leaves an iphone user frustrated. I'm not saying that iphone users are dumb...Android users just enjoy figuring out how to have things their way, and iphone users think Steve Jobs is God, so his way must be the right way.

Re: Returning the Nexus 4
Probably a bad unit. I'm still waiting for my N4. I still have a pretty old LG phone (Optimus V), probably 2 years old, which had no problems so far. The main issue is the complete lack of upgrades, so I'm looking forward to always having the latest OS version on the Nexus 4.
There is something to be said for having a brick and mortar shop where you can return or replace your device, as in the case of Apple. - 02-03-2013, 03:48 PM #6
Re: Returning the Nexus 4
I agree with some of what you are saying. My iphone friends that want to come to android and ask my opinion I tell them two things: 1. Commit to at least three weeks with the phone to learn how to use and customize 2. Leave "but I can do this on my iphone" out of the vocabulary and even if you do this you still might not be able to break away from Apple and relapse lol!
Android and iOS are different. Not better or worse but different and it takes time for iOS users to accept that Android is not iOS but can offer a great experience in the Google ecosystem. I think Nexus is particularly hard since it is simply Android without some of the tweaks etc from manufacturers which in my view are often pretty nifty and can save you time etc. The pull down screen toggles for touch wiz for example. I really like and use them quite a bit.

Re: Returning the Nexus 4
It's kind of sad and disappointing to read so much hostility towards members on this forum who dare to criticise or share negative experiences with Android or the N4.
Worse yet is that we appear to still be languishing in the Neanderthal dark age of 'Android vs iOS' flinging 'dumb phone' around (which for pieces of technology with stacks more power then it took to put a man on the moon is quite an ironic and moronic term really) and insinuating someone's intelligence is lesser based on their choice of cell phone. Listen to yourselves.
Believe it or not, those of us with iPhone's can quite capably use and figure out Android, given I'm using a Nexus 7 to post this. Shocker! "Someone uses an iPhone 5 AND a Nexus 7!? BURN HIM!". Being in a position to actively take part and witness forums from both sides, I can honestly say this sort of behaviour is much more rife on the Android side of the fence.
Quite frankly I have never heard so much rubbish, the poster above who claims, through no experience of their own I might add, that iOS users find it "frustrating". Widgets. That's about the only really massive difference and it takes all of five minutes to work them out. Everything else works in a very similar fashion. Aside from all this, the OP declared his love for the operating system just disappointment with the hardware.
So he could have thought more about his last sentence, which probably incited the negativity in the replies the most. Nevertheless he does have a point as someone else later pointed out the obvious advantage of brick and mortar.
Can't we all just, get along?

Re: Returning the Nexus 4
- Wifi on both the N4s I had worked fine. I turned it on, put in my wifi password and I was good to go. Maybe you're getting the password wrong or your settings are off.
- Dont know what you mean by your signal drops. So, its fine when your not touching it...but when you pick it up the signal drops? That sound normal to you?
- Never had that issue, but I hear other phones are known to have it sometimes as well.
- I have the rattling I think but I barely even notice it.
- Battery life, YMMV. Stock, I would get 11-12hrs or better with about moderate use, 2 or 2.5 hours screen on time. Even with Franco Kernel from rooting and ROMing its a moderate increease but more than enough to last the day.
Most of these problems sound like a defective unit to me. Either RMA, or just check these helpful forums to see if others have these issues and solutions. - 02-04-2013, 02:22 AM #11

Re: Returning the Nexus 4
I think people are objecting to his conclusion that the phone "can't connect to his wifi" and "signal drops when picking up the device in one hand" are endemic to all nexus 4, rather than perhaps to his getting one bad unit. It's rather obvious from the briefest browsing of this forum that those are NOT something common to this particular phone.
Saying "I'm going back to a device with great build quality" is also a very provocative thing to say, especially when your sample size is all of ONE phone. I'm not too inclined to criticize those being a bit harsh in reaction because the OP *did* make unwarranted logical leaps AND insult the device based on his single experience.The only thing constant is change. Currently using a Moto X and loving it. - 02-04-2013, 03:05 PM #15
Re: Returning the Nexus 4
I agreed with a lot of what you said except what i've paraphrased here above in the quoted section. I always laugh when pro-Apple people chastize Anti-Apple people for criticizing. Then they say it's more prevalent on the Android side of the fence. First off, that's your experience. My experience is the EXACT OPPOSITE and I have only been using Android for 16 months. I didn't have a smartphone before, and all I ever heard was Apple fans being arrogant and rude about Android. The most common STUPID phrase was: "Apple can do everything Android can except better."
That was what made me actually research and make my choice that best fit my needs. You are absolutely correct that it is asinine to judge someone based on their phone choice. But it's equally asinine to pretend it only happens on one side of the coin, OR to even pretend like it's more common. Just because you have experienced it one way, doesn't make it factually correct so don't try to use it as a sort of foundation to your post. - 02-04-2013, 05:56 PM #17
Re: Returning the Nexus 4
You don't see many arguments on the ios sites because there is nothing to argue about...you have one phone. We've got choices over here, and it's all these choices that we enjoy fusing over. We're all pretty passionate about which one of our umpteen models we have to choose from is the best (though they are all great).

with respect... it was the OP who indicted and entire class of devices by saying "But I am going back to a device with great build quality" which we assume is iphone. So are we to assume that there are no devices with great build quality on the android platform? Not that it matters, and I certainly do not support flaming anyone but the OP did throw some red meat to us android lovers.

There are other phones out there with some better specs but the way this thing is built, I plan on it being the last phone I'll ever need to own. A 30hr+ battery in a sub 9mm phone is just icing on the cake.

Re: Returning the Nexus 4
Your experience is your experience and is perfectly valid. I just question which communities you are talking about. There isn't just one place on the internet for iOS fans and one for android. Some forums/communities might be friendlier than others. Take a look at XDA vs AC for instance, very diff vibe.
If you meant the ENTIRE internet in your definition of communities I think you might be a bit overbroad in your sample size of personal experience. Not saying it is one way or the other as far as which side has more bile, just find it funny.

Rents - glad your N4 is growing on you. I have never experienced earpiece buzz or poor voice call quality and in fact, in the reviews I have read, the call quality is supposed to be quite good comparatively.
I would still suggest trying and RMA if you are getting buzzing. You don't send Google your old device until the new one arrives anyway.

By Jeff Coen and John Chase, Chicago Tribune reporters
November 15, 2012
Advertisement |
Mayor Rahm Emanuel has opened the door to his City Hall office for a steady stream of investment bankers, venture capitalists and international consultants in his intense search for private solutions to some of Chicago's biggest public problems.
From January through August, Emanuel entertained dozens of executives and experts who make money by working with governments on everything from subsidizing city jails to reinvesting public pension funds in search of better returns, according to a Tribune examination of the mayor's calendar for the first eight months of 2012.
Though it is a partial view of how the mayor spends his time, the calendar reinforces a developing storyline of Emanuel's tenure — the premium he places on boosting Chicago with private investment and on establishing his administration's central role in the city's economic recovery.
At the center of that effort is a key private adviser — Michael Sacks, the CEO of a Chicago hedge fund firm and a prolific campaign fundraiser for Emanuel.
Soon after taking office in May 2011, the mayor put Sacks in charge of World Business Chicago, the city's de facto economic development agency, naming him vice chairman. Sacks has met with Emanuel more than two dozen times this year, according to the schedule, on everything from pension reform to the sites of sporting arenas.
During that same period, marked by an escalation of street violence and a looming teachers strike, Emanuel's schedule shows he met with Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy 19 times and held nine meetings with Jean-Claude Brizard, then the CEO of Chicago Public Schools. Brizard resigned last month under pressure from the mayor.
Emanuel, who is well-known for burnishing his image around the country, also scheduled no fewer than three dozen media interviews with national and international outlets, talking to reporters not just from Chicago but also from London and Paris, New York City and Washington.
Emanuel's schedule offers an imperfect view into the decision-making of the mayor, whose style is to announce major initiatives as if they are foregone conclusions rather than risk developing a plan in the full glare of a public debate.
The calendars are not provided in real time — on a day-to-day or week-to-week basis, for instance. They are only provided for past months, in response to public information requests. And they do not detail every event Emanuel attends, including his political fundraisers, instead relying on nonspecific language such as lunch "with a friend" or "evening event."
The mayor is also well-known for, and readily acknowledges, doing much of his work over the phone. But the mayor's office has repeatedly declined Tribune requests for his phone records, saying he does not use a city-issued phone for public business. When the mayor later acknowledged having a cellphone he uses to regularly talk to top city leaders, his administration then denied the records on the grounds that he uses a private phone.
Emanuel's predecessor, Richard Daley, would not provide phone records or his official calendar.
Kathleen Strand, a spokeswoman for Emanuel, said the public sees only a partial picture of Emanuel at work.
"Mayor Emanuel's schedule is a document that exists in real time and does not necessarily reflect his every move but is rather a guide for the expectations of his daily appointments," Strand said. "It's not possible to reflect his every move and every person he sees, meets and talks with.
"For example, it doesn't reflect conversations at events with commissioners and community leaders or his near-daily calls with department commissioners, the police superintendent, the school CEO, etc."
But even so, the calendars — compiled by the mayor's press staff — are one of the few public sources of information on what Emanuel does day in and day out as mayor of the nation's third-largest city.
Infrastructure and pensions
Two of the mayor's key financial objectives are dealing with overwhelming pension costs for public employees and finding a way to pay for public works projects without taxpayers feeling the pain. One of his top advisers, Lois Scott, headed a financial consulting firm that represented companies entering government privatization deals. And since taking office, Emanuel has had many meetings with experts who are offering solutions to such problems for other governments.
Months before he announced plans that Scott helped formulate for an "infrastructure trust" — a quasi-public panel designed to help Emanuel lure private investment for building everything from streets to schools — the mayor held a series of meetings with experts in the field.
One of the first people Emanuel was scheduled to meet with this year was Glenn Tilton, a financial heavyweight in the Emanuel network where government and private interests come together.
Emanuel's schedule shows a 45-minute meeting on Jan. 5 with Tilton, the Midwest chairman of financial giant JPMorgan Chase. Tilton is a member of the World Business Chicago executive committee and donated $10,000 for Emanuel's May 2011 inaugural party when he was still the boss of United Airlines' parent company.

This color bug is perfect for a girl looking for some part time pink hair! It's super easy to use and washes out right away! Recommended for lighter hair types, and girls who dont mind getting a little chalk on their clothes.
Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Strips
I know what you're thinking, Christina said these were terrible. But listen guy's she tried to use them while driving! After giving them a second chance we realized we both LOVE these bad boys. Not only do they have tons of adorable patterns but they also last days without chipping! They are also extremely easy to apply, even if you're driving!
If boy's can look good in bow ties than girls can look even better. The fact that i just realized you could pair a bowtie with almost any dress you own and have a perfect outfit is blowing my mind. I'm planning outings just to spend more of my time rockin' a bow tie.
I love this song by Ellie Goulding! Every time I hear it, it makes me want to run and dance around in a huge field!
Beauty Product:
I have been using this for a while, and I just realized how important it is in my makeup routine. I probably lean on it a little too much, but I can't help it. It really makes any makeup look 10 times better. (I may not act like it) But I do know that sparkles aren't usually appropriate for every occasion, but with this super skinny applicator you can make it look really modest and not to new years eve-y.
This last month Anna has been putting a bunch of different blonde highlights in my hair with the intention to eventually lighten it all the way blonde. Now it is finally the color I want and I have started using a lot of products with toner in them. I started using Its a 10 leave in conditioner a long time ago and I have ALWAYS loved it. It makes my hair feel so soft and never weighs it down or make it oily like other leave in conditioners do. Anyways this one is the same as the other its a 10 that I used in the past, but it has toner in it. After just one week of using it I could really tell a difference in my color. It looks a lot healthier and brighter. The moral of the story is: if you haven't tried this wonderful product (that literally does everything) then go out there and get it!!!
I am straight up OBSESSED with this color! Its called "Mod About You". I can NEVER decide to go with white or pink for my pedicure. So finally OPI has answered my many prayers with this pastel white-ish pink . So now I am totally MOD about this color

Is your mascara getting way to clumpy way to soon? Well, fear no more! We have a solution to your problems! Saline Solution!
If you find that your mascara is getting thick and hard to apply and you don't feel like spending your pennies on a whole new product then all you have to do is put a few drops of saline solution into your mascara and mix it around with your wand. This will break up the mascara and give it a smoother substance. However, you must be careful when putting it in. Try mixing it with every new drop you put in or else you will end up with liquid eyeliner and a really weird applicator to go with it.

Tip #1: White Eyeliner! I know you have heard us say this before, but we can't stress it enough! Every girl should have this within her reach at all times! If you just apply it to your inner bottom lid you will not only look like an angel, but also it gives the illusion of a bigger/rounder eye. So if you don't already have this in your collection, here is a great one that is super affordable!
Tip #2: BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND! Make sure that when you are using more than one color you always spend enough time blending. eye shadow lines can be really distracting and take the focus away from the shape of your eyes. Make sure to invest in a good blending brush, and that doesn't mean it has to be expensive! One of our favorite blending brushes we got was from Walgreen's!
Tip #3: Mascara Tricks! When applying your favorite mascara, stroke the brush towards your nose. This will give your lashes a fuller look and also make your eyes appear wider!

Although not elected, Ms Gbagbo acted as an alter ego for her husband, exercising the power to make State decisions. Ms Gbagbo was also close to other members of Mr Gbagbo's inner circle who were involved in the implementation of the Common Plan. Moreover, at meetings or public gatherings during the post-election crisis, Ms Gbagbo expressed her support for the Common Plan, and instructed the pro-Gbagbo forces to commit crimes against individuals who posed a threat to her husband's power.
The violence that followed the 2010 election claimed approximately 3,000 lives. Gbagbo's rival President Alassane Ouattara [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] was declared the winner of the 2010 election and is now president. At the beginning of this month, Pre-Trial Chamber I of the ICC found Laurent Gbagbo fit to stand trial [JURIST report]. In October, the ICC denied Gbagbo's motion asking the court for allowance to leave [JURIST report] the Netherlands while he recovers from alleged maltreatment received while detained by national authorities in the Ivory Coast before being surrendered to the ICC [JURIST report] in November. The court denied Gbagbo's leave request upon a determination that he posed a flight risk. In August the ICC dismissed a jurisdiction challenge [JURIST report] by Gbagbo, ruling that the court has the authority to hear the case. The court first postponed Gbagbo's confirmation of charges hearing in June, after his lawyers asked the court more time to prepare [JURIST reports], complaining that they did not have enough resources to build their case in the amount of time given. Gbagbo's original hearing date was set [JURIST report] in December during his pre-trial hearing in ICC Pre-Trial Chamber III.

Nutrient dense, calorie dense foods are what I would suggest. Eggs, nuts, nut butters, dried fruit, fish like sardines/anchovies/mackerel. If you need to eat while cycling, the peanut-free Larabars are pretty good for an energy boost, or maybe you can take some jerky along the ride?
A non-food suggestion would be to take BCAAs before and after your sessions.

Full Tilt Poker is a Ponzi scheme, prosecutors say
NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors in New York say an Internet poker company shut down in the spring as part of an online gambling crackdown had operated as "a global Ponzi scheme."
The U.S. attorney revised its civil lawsuit against Full Tilt Poker on Tuesday to include new allegations that the company raided player accounts to fund its operations and make lavish payments to the site's owners.
Investigators say that over four years, the company used $444 million in player money to pay board members.
The poker site had promised players that their accounts were protected and wouldn't be touched. But authorities say that as of March, the company had only $60 million left of the $390 million owed to players.
The company's lawyer was traveling Tuesday and not immediately available for comment.
