The Settlers: Heritage of Kings< b>
The Settlers: Heritage of Kings is a world-building strategy game with fully rendered 3D visuals and unavoidably addictive gameplay. Players can dive into a detailed medieval world offering a unique mix of RTS and simulation gameplay. A fully functioning community can be created; new advancements can be discovered and enemy forces will be repelled!
World In Conflict< b>
World in Conflict presents a chillingly authentic Cold War scenario where the Berlin Wall never fell. Created by Cold War authority and best-selling author Larry Bond the story begins in 1989 as the Soviets fearing certain collapse boldly advance into Europe. NATO responds in force only to be met on a second front - a full-fledged invasion of the American homeland. Players take on the role of field commander leading the era's most powerful military machines in the campaign to retake America's cities and suburbs.
|The Ultimate Strategy Pack
|Most of the PC games require internet connection to activate and download online updates.
Like many other "packs" that Ubisoft has come up with, this one packs just one fairly recent game, with two extremely old ones. World in Conflict is the only good game, the other two are pre-2005, just too old. So essentially you're paying "new release" prices for just one good game. Not very worth it.

SEO- Search Engine Optimization VS PPC- Pay Per ClickAuthor: Phil | Filed under: SEO
Recently in discussions with both current and future search engine optimization clients, the conversation has arisen about the value of SEO vs. PPC. These conversations have lead me to do additional investigation into the facts and theories between these two very different online search engine marketing efforts.
Let's discuss SEO a.k.a Search Engine Optimization:
Benefits of SEO
Trusted visibility, more clicks: Natural Search Results are considered far more reliable by the general public, therefore offering a far better click through percentage then PPC. Currently in 2008 it has been reported by several authorities and through my own observations that roughly 4 out of every 5 internet users will click on natural search results before they click on PPC (sponsored search results). In other words, 80% percent of internet searchers will click on a natural search result prior to or instead of a sponsored listing.
Long term results: Search Engine Marketing using SEO or search engine optimization techniques offer far longer term benefits. Working with a top SEO company can yield phenomenal results, if your SEO work is done in a very organized and personalized manner: thorough keyword development (do not assume you know your top keywords, often clients are surprised by the data we present them with, when doing our initial SEO consultation); detailed creative on site optimization and reorganization; internal link building; content development and powerful balanced off site SEO. For long term results this all must be included in your search engine optimization project. Needless to say some websites will require far more on site work, and others will require far more offsite work, and this is why cookie cutter SEO will not work.
Work pays off even after it is paid for: The on site work that you do with your SEO company pays its dividends indefinitely. Even though the on site work is long done and paid for, the benefits actually continue to grow as your domain ages and reindexes. Even more important, a good SEO company is teaching you along the way; you can put your new knowledge to work to increase traffic, increase sales indefinitely.
Negatives of SEO:
Results not immediate: Search Engine Optimization takes time to work, and this is a good thing. If you considering working with an SEO company, fast results are BAD! If someone is promising your quick results, run away. Fast SEO is usually accompanied by risky off site SEO tips and techniques will in the long run cost you. Typical search engine optimization results will begin to take hold about 60-90 days after the work has begun and you should see a relatively slow progressive growth in your natural search rankings. The good thing about quality SEO is that this slow growth is viewed as natural to search engines and is often embraced by the search engines algorithms. You often get additional rewards from the search engines by gaining a traditional growth curve.
Results challenging to quantify: SEO is much harder to quantify or track, because results are slow and typically not 100% reliable, you will bounce around in search results, and find yourself often wondering where your money is going. Trust the history of search engine's behavior, look who is currently sitting in the top 3 positions for your search terms, how did they get there? It was not an accident; they spent money, time and effort getting there. You will need to do the same if not more to take their place.
Complicated, intimidating, mysterious. Your level of control is low especially at first. SEO is not simple, it is not compromised of a list of facts. It's a mix of art and science' with a little math mixed in. What worked yesterday, may or may not work today. Success is achieved by constantly testing, tweaking, and monitoring your results. By reading and and networking with others in the industry. These SEO ideals lead themselves to often erratic results especially at first, but over time, quality SEO will give you authority status by sites like Google, Yahoo and MSN, and once you become an authority website, your additional search engine optimization work produces results far more easily.
Now on to PPC (Sponsored Search Results)-
Instant gratification. All that is required is an Ad Words account (Google) or Yahoo or MSN PPC account, a list of keywords and a credit card. In 1 hour your ads can be displayed and you will be getting clicks and new visitors to your website. This is often where new websites start, the barrier to entry is nearly ZERO and you can have top placement TODAY!
Results easily quantified. Tracking PPC is not very difficult. You can use conversion code to track exactly how many clicks you have buy to make a sale, and this can be tracked upon any keyword, any advertisement and time of day or day of the week These results can be hammered down and constantly adjusted to get your best ROI. Control freaks love PPC, and there is certainly something to say for having complete control.
Control. You are in the driver seat from day one, you can rank for anything you want to, you can rank where ever you want and you can turn it on and off as the wind blows. You can set up 100K keywords, and set it to rank number one for all of them, and you will be blasted with traffic like you have never seen before.
Expensive. The costs involved in PPC are very high, and often the bidding goes through the roof as giant companies (Wal-Mart, Dell, Apple, and Best Buy) often consider Pay Per Click traditional advertising, and not really interested in return on investment. They feel like they are marketing their name, and building their brand recognition. Needless to say, us medium and small web based companies struggle to compete with this, in fact it is impossible. So with the control to turn it on, you must have the budget to pay for it, and it may or may not end up profitable.
Far less clicks. It has been proven time and again that similar placement of a PPC ad vs. a natural listing will only result in 20% of the possible clients. People know sponsored results are "PAID" and assume that the people doing this may not be on the up and up, or may not be trust worthy. It's the exact opposite of how people feel about natural search results. The trust factor on PPC is low, and in fact it is getting worse, as people become more educated about search. As search engine results get better and better, a long term result of hard work and authority, the less often people will click on PPC. This trend will continue.
Little long term benefit. There is virtually no staying power; you shut down your budget; you shut down your traffic. Unless you keep paying, you will not get any traffic at all. If your business has an abnormally high percentage of repeat business, PPC can give a jumpstart. But overall, the future of your website is directly 100% tied to your daily budget for PPC.
Click Fraud. This is something that is being kept under ground, but there is a reason why Google has stopped offering their PPA Pay Per Action ads. They tested it and realized that this would cost them BILLIONS of dollars, as click fraud is rampant and by getting away from PPC would eliminate the profit involved in click fraud. If Google could truly send the qualified leads to your website, maintaining the conversions companies required, why not go to PPA Pay Per Action. It appears the entire online marketing community has run scared from the PPA model, as it would let internet retailers really get value from their online budget and this would be at the detriment to all online marketing and advertising companies including the BIG three search engines Google, Yahoo and MSN.
Time consuming to manage well: If you want to truly scale your PPC your going to need lots of help, on average a website in a competitive space will require either full time employee's managing PPC or will need to outsource the management of PPC. I think PPC is expensive enough to begin with but adding insult to injury adding another 4-7% on top for it to be outsourced or dedicated an employee to this is tough.
To overview these comparisons, let's circle back to the numbers: in 2007 12 billion dollars was spent on search engine marketing (source sempo), of this 12 billion 87.5% was spent on PPC (Pay Per Click) or 10.5 billion, yet only 10.5% or 1.25 billion was spent on search engine optimization. In the US there was approximately 120 billion searches in 2007 (source comscore). In looking at the fact that 80% of the search engine traffic is the result of natural search results and 20% of search engine traffic comes from PPC, it doesn't make sense that webmasters are spending so much on PPC. Lets do some crude math, so we can understand the magnitude of this:
120 billion searches, and all traffic costs $12 billion (for total search engine marketing).
PPC is 20% of 120 billion or 24 billion searches.
24 billion search queries costs 10.5 billion dollars.
Based upon this math, the average PPC visit cost .44 cents each.
SEO (Natural search engine traffic) is 80% of the 120 billion or 96 billion searches.
96 billion search queries costs 1.25 billion dollars.
Based upon this math, the average SEO visitor cost .01 cents each.
So based upon my crude math, a PPC visitor costs 44 times as much as an SEO visitor.
I know I'm an SEO, so you may say I'm biased. But the numbers (and logic) speak for themselves: your money should be spent to obtain 80% of the traffic at 1/44th of the cost.
Don't get me wrong, PPC has its place. Once established, it is a great reinforcement (not the primary source of traffic) of your natural search efforts and brand, as long as it is kept under control.

Novell and Red Hat security experts face off on AppArmor and SELinux
Security Enhanced Linux or App Armor? Linux Magazine invited two well-known personalities from Red Hat and Novell to debate the merits of their security systems.
Novell and Red Hat are currently doing battle to establish their respective products as competitive protection systems for Linux. Whereas Red Hat adopted SELinux years ago, Novell introduced their AppArmor protection system after acquiring Immunix. Both systems are licensed under the GPL, both aim to make Linux more secure, and both give administrators more control over applications privileges. We asked spokesmen from Novell and Red Hat to explain why their security system is the best. Crispin Cowan, who came to Novell from Immunix, will be talking first about the advantages of AppArmor. Then Daniel Riek will explain why Red Hat will be sticking with SELinux.

The 20mm prime is smaller, lighter... and just as good (if not slightly better optically) as the 16-35/2.8L(ii)
At least my copy of the EF 20mm f2.8 was sh*t. Poor resolution and vignetting. A bought the 20-35mm 3.5-4.5 and at 20mm it was dramatically better than the 20mm. FWIW DXOMark rated this lens.
I also have the 24-105 and so sold the 20-35 and bought a Samyang 14mm which is great.

A Clovis man is in custody after police say he was caught carrying loaded weapons near a middle school campus. NewsChannel 10 has been investigating this story since we first broke it to you Thursday on Live at Five. It all started just after noon, when Clovis police responded to the area of 14th Street and Sycamore on reports of a man carrying weapons near Yucca Middle School. Officers found a man matching the description, later determined to be 23-year-old Andrew Chavez Junior, who ran from the officers. He dumped his backpack by a nearby apartment complex and detectives later recovered it. They found the fully loaded AR-15 assault rifle and a loaded Walther 9mm pistol.Yucca Middle School and Parkview Elementary School were placed on lock down for a short time as officers combed the area. Police told NewsChannel 10 off camera there was never any direct threat to either school and Chavez never made any attempt to enter either school. Police said Chavez was actually fleeing the scene of a burglary he has just committed on a nearby residence, which is where he obtained the weapons.NewsChannel 10 also spoke with residents of the nearby apartment complex police combed through in search of Chavez. Many said it was scary not really knowing what was going on, but seeing swarms of cop cars circling through the area and even witnessing several officers running through the area with their own weapons out. Police found Chavez hiding behind bushes on the east side of the old radio station on Sycamore street. Along with an active warrant for Battery on a Police Officer, authorities said Chavez was carrying a small amount of marijuana. He was taken into custody without any further incident and booked into the Curry County Jail. Clovis police are still investigating this incident.

Up to 18,000 leave Lutheran Church over statements on gay current affairs programme
Christian Democrat Räsänen does not regret anti-gay statements, Archbishop insists Church is pluralistic
Archbishop Kari Mäkinen
Päivi Räsänen
print this
The Finnish Evangelical-Lutheran Church has seen an unprecedented exodus of members. The outflow was sparked by a televised debate programme on Network 2 of the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) on Tuesday evening last week.
The flood was seen as a reaction to comments by some church representatives on the programme, which dealt with issues such as the right of homosexuals to adopt children and the establishment of gender-neutral marriage.
By Friday evening more than 7,400 Finns had cancelled their membership in Finland's largest denomination through a website set up for the purpose. The trend continued during the weekend, and by Sunday evening the figure had reached 18,000. It is estimated that Lutheran Parishes are set to lose annual church tax revenues worth about EUR 2 million from the exodus.
Reasons given by those cutting their ties
with the church included accusations that the church is intolerant, conservative, and has a negative attitude toward gays.
"The final straw on the YLE gay evening was the view expressed by the church on the right to marriage by gays. I do not want to support such a narrow-minded institution with my membership", one apostate declared.
Kari Mäkinen
issued a statement on Friday saying that he did not understand why people are leaving the church because of issues related to homosexuality.
"I understand that many are expecting that the church would more clearly show that it accepts homosexuality", Mäkinen stated.
He said that the church is more pluralistic than it is seen to be in various heated discussions.
"Now would be precisely the time to hold debate on homosexuality, respecting others and listening to them", Mäkinen said.
On Friday Mäkinen did not want to comment on the matter to
Helsingin Sanomat
. In February, in the runup to his election to his post at the head of the church, he said that he supports offering ecclesiastical blessings to same-sex couples.
Taking part in the programme
were Christian Democratic Party chairwoman
Päivä Räsänen
and the Bishop of Tampere,
Matti Repo
"I was especially offended by the opinions of Räsänen and Repo. I cannot in any way comprehend such discrimination", said one former church member.
On Friday Räsänen would not accept responsibility for causing the exodus from the church.
"Perhaps people in the national church have not known the church's views on these matters", Räsänen said.
She also said that the resignations came as a surprise to her.
"I have been honest. I told what I think as a rank-and-file Christian, and I continue to feel that way. The Bible is a base and a foundation for me."

VBT Announces New Refer a Friend Program
Refer a Friend on a VBT Vacation and Now Earn $150 in Travel Credits—a 50% increase in rewards
BRISTOL, VT — VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations has announced its new Refer a Friend Program for 2014. When a traveler refers a friend to go on any VBT Bicycling, Walking, or Cross-Country Skiing Vacation they will now receive $150 in Travel Credits when the friend completes their first vacation with VBT. As an added bonus, each referred friend will save $75 on their first reservation. Additional cash rewards will also be given to travelers who refer multiple friends. Travelers will receive $250 for every three successfully referred travelers with no limit on Traveler Credits or cash rewards. Checks will be paid by VBT on December 31, 2013 and the cash incentive resets each calendar year.
According to post-trip surveys, 99.05% of all VBT travelers say they would recommend VBT vacations to their friends and nearly 20% of first-time travelers have been referred to VBT by other travelers. "I received an email asking if I would recommend a VBT trip to a friend. The truth is that we already have—at least 5 friends at latest count since we got back!" said a VBT traveler after returning from VBT's The Czech Republic, Germany & Austria bicycling vacation. "The people who take VBT trips are all friendly, active, have interesting lives to share, and make for wonderful dinner companions. Couple that with stunning locations, wonderful guides and new life experiences. What's not to love?"
The new Refer a Friend Program also increases the reward from $50 to $75 for first-time travelers who have been referred to take a VBT vacation by a former traveler like this guest, "Having traveled through part of Istria on a previous trip to Slovenia and Austria, it was my dream to see the Dalmatian coast. Then at a college reunion, one of my friends mentioned his trip to Italy with VBT, and I asked him to refer me" recalled a VBT traveler after booking his first VBT vacation. "When the catalog came, I was instantly drawn to Croatia: The Dalmatian Islands, the trip had all we wanted and hoped for and more." With the new program, this traveler saved $75 a person on his reservation.
Founded in 1971 by a Middlebury College professor, VBT offers deluxe, small group bicycling, walking and cross-country ski tours worldwide, including destinations in Europe, Costa Rica, New Zealand, Vietnam, Thailand, Peru, Argentina, Canada and the United States. Each trip includes all accommodations, many meals, two expert, local Trip Leaders, unique sightseeing and cultural activities, and full vehicle support for bicycling and walking vacations.

INDIANAPOLIS — With Earth Day just around the corner, the Indianapolis Zoo is inviting area residents to do something kind for Mother Earth by participating in Power Recycling Weekend presented by Ingram Micro.
Electronic waste is a growing problem in the United States, with millions of tons of e-waste incinerated or placed into landfills each year. By taking those items to the zoo to be recycled, visitors can help reduce the amount of harmful chemicals released into the ground, water, and air.
The semi-annual event is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 27 and 28 in the zoo parking lot.
The zoo's two Power Recycling events in 2012 collected a combined 39,981 pounds, or 19 tons, of recyclables. As a way to say thanks for being a good environmental steward, anyone who brings items for recycling will receive a $2 discount coupon on zoo admission good through Nov. 1.
New this year, the zoo is offering visitors an additional option to help de-clutter their closets in an environmentally-friendly way. Goodwill of Central Indiana will be on site at the event to collect new and gently-used clothes, household items, furniture, books, toys, and more.
Additionally, most electronics - including microwaves, cell phones, and computers - will be accepted. However, large appliances like refrigerators, washers, dryers, and air conditioners will not be accepted.
Yellow Pages will be on hand to provide phone book recycling and document shredding will be offered from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days, compliments of Shred Monkey.
The following are examples of what can be recycled during the zoo's Power Recycling Weekend: telephone systems, cell phones, computers and components, monitors (no bare CRT tubes), scanners and copiers, printers, fax machines, backup power systems, external hard drives, satellite components, ink and toner cartridges, keyboards, microwaves, televisions, cables and wiring, electronic motors, metals, integrated circuits, microphones, laserdisc players, VCR/DVD players, video game systems, surge protectors, palm pilots/PDAs, power cables and supplies, office paper, and phone books.

Town Square
David Piepho: the eighth member of the Alamo MAC?
Original post made by Hal on Sep 14, 2010
The volume of comments on the BANG editorial this morning disclosing the nepotism of the Piepho's in protecting their role in Contra Costa LAFCO was celebrated with a great deal of humor among CCC District III neighborhoods. It is hard to imagine anyone claiming that CCLAFCO is a State Agency when CCC-BOS can manipulate who is a member without State review or consent.
Certainly, Assembly Member Buchanan needs to make public review of any process that results in Mary being able to designate her husband's role in a State organization. Such potential conflicts of interest are of district-wide interest and require a State response.
Neighbors do not see it as far-fetched that CCC-MAC policy could be amended to have David Piepho keep an eye on Alamo via participating in the CCC-MAC Alamo.
Is anyone laughing?
on Sep 15, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Every since Supervisor Piepho got elected she has denied she has anything to do with the developers. It now appears the choir she was singing to was not really there. We should have realized we she called on the Developer Fund(PAC) to spew money $250K all over her election against Houston to discredit him. It was Houstons father that had the problem, however at least Houston was honest. More lies have come out of the Queen Mary's mouth than I care to think about. That guy was a better alternative than the Queen Mary who sleeps with special interest especially when she wants to appoint the special interest of her husband to try and control LAFCO. This is a perfect re-call venue.

Dear Dolores,
I received this from the Delta region neighborhoods.
Hi Hal,
Daniel Borenstein, famous for his pension spiking investigation and reporting wrote the editorial. Web Link
I think it would be great if people called or emailed him with some words of encouragement and thanks. I am sure he will hear from the Piepho camp and there is a value good reporting hearing from an appreciative public.

Even if Mary gets him the Cemetery District position shouldn't he have to re-run for the LAFCO position if he leaves one elected post and goes to another?

The latest numbers show more students in Crawford County, Kansas are now choosing to buckle up.
Students at Northeast High School in Arma were honored today for achieving the greatest improvement in the county's "SAFE" program.
Girard High School received the prize for having the highest overall percentage with 93% of kids wear their seatbelts.
"It is an awesome thing - SAFE is a good program and it shows us seat belts are important and needed," says Ashlyn Sandberg of SAFE.
"(A) great program and it is going on statewide," says Crawford County Sheriff Sandy Horton. "It is truly working in the fact of the rollover accidents are running 98% of our occupants buckled."
Sheriff Horton says since this project began four years ago they have issued less tickets a year to students for not wearing their seatbelts.

Student-athletes are challenged and encouraged to give back to communities and individuals who are in need. Through community service initiatives planned by teams, the Student-Athlete Advisory Council - PAWS (Proud Athletes Who Serve), and the University Office of Student Activities, our student-athletes are given the opportunity to develop the foundation for a lifelong commitment of service and volunteerism.
The Tigers were very active in the community in 2012-13. Tiger student-athletes, coaches, and administrators completed more than 10,000 hours of community service throughout Towson, Baltimore and the surrounding area just this academic year. This accomplishment is second to none in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) and places Tiger Athletics near the top nationally for community service. In fact, the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll has recognized the university for its service efforts this school year.
Visiting hospitals and schools, blood drives, assisting with the Senior and Special Olympic Programs, participating in charity runs such as the Susan G. Komen "The Race for the Cure", collecting personal care items and clothing for the needy, book, t-shirt and stuffed animal drives, stream clean-ups, assisting with Move-in Days, and sport skills clinics are just a few examples of community outreach activities sponsored by our teams in the past. Involvement in these programs by teams in individuals not only benefits the community, but also serves to develop team bonding, leadership skills, positive relationships between the University and the community, and the wonderful feeling of having made a difference.
Some of our featured partnerships in the community this year are:
- Big Brothers/Big Sisters
- BEST Organization
- CoolKids Campaign
- GORUCK Leadership Training
- Kennedy Krieger Foundation
- Susan G. Komen Foundation
- Living Classrooms Foundation
- Wounded Warriors Project
- Special Olympics of Maryland
- Towson Recreation Council
- Baltimore City Public Schools
Some of our community service efforts during the 2012-13 Academic Year:
6/25/11 - Tigers Help Out the Cool Kids Foundation

During a conference call with reporters this week, state Rep. JIL TRACY, R-Quincy, took a harder line than her running mate — they're both pro-life — on an issue involving abortion.
Tracy, who is running alongside gubernatorial candidate and state Sen. KIRK DILLARD, R-Hinsdale, was giving the campaign's perspective about a downstate bus tour being conducted by venture capitalist BRUCE RAUNER of Winnetka, another of the Republican gubernatorial hopefuls whose advertising blitz has helped shape the campaign.
While questioning some of Rauner's stands on social issues and his GOP credentials, the conversation turned to "public funding" and, in Tracy's words, "do you fund Planned Parenthood?"
I asked if she thinks any state funding for Planned Parenthood should stop because the agency also provides abortion services.
Tracy talked of how the "core mission" of the Dillard-Tracy team would be "back to funding the basics of government. It's public safety. It's public education. It's infrastructure. Going from there and seeing what's left out there and providing a good, solid safety net for the most vulnerable."
I noted that didn't answer the question about Planned Parenthood.
She said spending has to be "prioritized" and people need to know where candidates stand.
I noted that Tracy is pro-life, that Planned Parenthood provides abortion services, and some people think the organization thus should get no public money.
"Are you one of those people?" I asked.
"Personally, yes," she said.
Dillard, it turns out, does not agree.
"The senator has said that all budget items must be on the table when it comes to cutting state spending and wrestling with the state's enormous debt burden," said Dillard campaign spokesman WES BLEED. "Funding for Planned Parenthood would not be exempted from consideration. However, he does not support cutting funding altogether for a program that does provide needed medical services for many poor and disadvantaged residents of Illinois."
According to BRIGID LEAHY, director of government relations for Planned Parenthood of Illinois, the Indiana legislature passed a bill to block Planned Parenthood in that state from getting Medicaid funding because the agency also provided abortion services. Then-Gov. MITCH DANIELS signed the bill into law in 2011, but Planned Parenthood went to federal court, which blocked enactment of the law. The state ultimately appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which didn't take the case and let a lower-court ruling stand. That allowed continued funding of non-abortion services.
"You can only get kicked out of Medicaid if you're violating Medicaid rules, not for other business you're conducting," Leahy said.
Page 2 of 3 - PAM SUTHERLAND, vice president for public policy and education of Planned Parenthood Illinois, said about 70,000 patients a year are served by the agency's 17 health centers across the state, and about 40 percent of Illinois Planned Parenthood clients are on Medicaid, where 90 percent of the money comes from the federal government. Federal money pays for services including breast exams, cervical screening, birth control and sexually transmitted disease testing. She said federal law bans use of federal money for abortion except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.
While most clinics are in the Chicago area, they are also in Pekin, Peoria, Bloomington, Decatur, Ottawa, Effingham and Springfield. The annual budget is about $20 million, but some comes from private or insurance-paid patients.
The agency does perform abortions, with no federal money, in Aurora and at a Chicago clinic; and also provides medication abortions — with miscarriage induced by drugs — in Springfield and Champaign clinics, Sutherland said.
Administration of "morning after" drugs are also provided, and are considered by medical science to be contraception, not abortion, Sutherland said.
Rauner supports abortion rights but also supports banning late-term abortions and backs parental notification, while the two other GOP candidates for governor, state Treasurer DAN RUTHERFORD and state Sen. BILL BRADY, R-Bloomington, are pro-life.
Schoeffel joins Truax
STEVE SCHOEFFEL, 42, a Springfield resident, has been tapped as campaign manager for Republican U.S. Senate candidate DOUG TRUAX of Downers Grove.
Truax is a West Point grad and Army veteran who owns a business, Veritas Risk Services, that helps companies with employee benefits. Truax is in a March 18 primary contest with state Sen. JIM OBERWEIS, R-Sugar Grove, for the GOP nomination to take on U.S. Sen. DICK DURBIN, a Springfield Democrat.
Schoeffel is Illinois director of Victory Enterprises, based in Davenport, Iowa. He's volunteering time helping with WES BARR's campaign for the Republican nomination for Sangamon County sheriff. He also worked on the 2006 and 2010 gubernatorial campaigns of Sen. Brady. Also in 2006, he helped with media in a GOP secretary of state race being run by Rutherford, of Chenoa, who went on to be elected state treasurer in 2010.
Schoeffel said he thinks Truax represents "a new, young face for the party," and someone who will be attractive to independents and some conservative Democrats.
DAN CURRY of Northbrook, co-owner of the Reverse Spin public affairs firm with JOHN PEARMAN of Chicago, is serving as Truax's campaign spokesman. Curry was press secretary to then-Attorney General JIM RYAN and was communications director for former U.S. Sen. PETER FITZGERALD, R-Ill.

'Caring, loving'
Her family and her community have lost a lot with the passing of JOAN SMITH.
Smith, 83, died Saturday at St. John's Hospital from complications due to surgery. She was married for 61 years to former Ald. IRV SMITH, and for 22 years of their time together, Irv was chairman of the Sangamon County GOP.
"She was the most caring, loving person you'd ever want to meet, and was so into family and of course into politics," said former Mayor KAREN HASARA, who knew Joan for at least 40 years.
On the political side, Hasara said, Joan "always pretty much stayed in the background" but did an "awful lot" of the kind of work many wouldn't like — stuffing envelopes, making phone calls and arranging fundraisers.
A group of Republican women just this September at an event at Illini County Club gave Joan Smith the MARALEE I. LINDLEY "Woman of the Year" award for her work encouraging involvement of GOP women in Sangamon County, Hasara said. Lindley, who died in 2006, was a Sangamon County clerk and director of the Illinois Department on Aging.
Hasara noted that Joan was also was with Irv, a longtime swimming coach, as he operated swim clubs in Springield.
"Our kids all swam together, so we traveled to swim meets with them," Hasara said. "She was always there helping to run things."
My involvement with Joan came mostly through my reporter calls, at various hours, to reach Irv about political or governmental issues. Despite what some might consider a bother, in all the years I did this, I recall not a single cross word from Joan. She was always gracious and helpful as could be.
"Everyone knows, she was just so supportive of Irv through the years," Hasara said.
May the abundant good memories of her help her family through its loss.

Thread: A.J. Jefferson signs RFA tender
So Our best CB from last year is moving on, and our worse CB from last year is moving back in. Yep, I am officially bummed out again.
Are the Vikings having a internal bet that they can't field a worse secondary than we have had the past 15-20 years for this next season? Good god, if they don't pull a rabbits foot out of their asses, this is going to be the biggest joke of a secondary I have seen.
It's going to be a lot tougher for Spielman to work his magic when we don't need a kicker & don't own the 3rd pick of the draft.
Although, one of the least desired picks in the draft by fans, Teo can quickly become "a solid pick" if Spielman drafts him.
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
Too much gloom and doom around here.
We were a playoff team last year and going into this year our franchise QB has another off season of experience, we got rid of a disgruntled WR/RB , a slow, undersized CB who was ready for the glue factory and in return we got the best WR from a division opponent who is a top 5 WR and an additional 1st round draft pick. So we have extra picks including 2-1st round picks, our Ol will be more in sync with another year under their belt, Our all world RB will be in better condition to start the season compared to last year and the coaching staff can take what they learned and use it to develop the new players who were brought in and who will be brought in, These players are all better fits to the scheme and will make a better impact on the field.
Meanwhile the rest of the division-
GB lost its best WR to us. They cut a DB who is many times better than the one we cut even dreamed of being, they are going to have to sign their QB to a contract of biblical proportions that will give them all kinds of CAP problems going forward and they have a OLB that is going to compound that problem.
Chicago has a whole new staff and with the problems they have from the OL to the MLB position and on and on they will not be a challenge
Detroit is once again becoming Detroit and they may put up points this year if they can get any kind of OL bu they have no running game, no ST, need a new kicker, have holes all over the defense and are not getting any better.
Long story short we ARE winning the division and we ARE winning a playoff game this year.
We are probably not going to get to the NFCCG for year or 2 but we are getting younger and we are getting better while trimming the old, the fat and the malcontents. This is the best i have felt about the team going into the season for nearly 20 years.
How to Determine If Your Team Has a Franchise Quarterback | Bleacher Report
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
Ty Schalter is a National NFL Lead Writer. A hobbyist and family man, He regularly converts his pigskin passion into words and numbers here at Bleacher Report and his blog, The Lions in Winter.
Let me try the Singer way of interpreting posts:
Since you rely on that data to form your opinion that means you would want to cut Andrew luck because he was only rated 2 slots ahead of ponder in the rankings. And you would trade the whole franchise to get RG3 because he is ranked higher than Brady, Manning, Brees, Rodgers and every other top QB in the league.
Does that hit it pretty close?

Damn people! So... much... negativity... can't.... breath....
"Spielman sucks!", "Spielman is intentially trying to make the team worse" jabbidyjab.
For F*ck sake, give the man some credit! No, give him TONS of credit!!! He had perhaps what's looking as the best all-round draft since.... heck, I can't even remember. He got us so many good players in one year. We will at least get three Pro Bowlers out of last year's draft.
I understand that as a fan, the Winfield loss hurts. It hurts alot actually and I hate it. So I can understand that this is how the frustration surfaces, but to react even slightly negatively to this little innocent signing is ridiculously.
First of all, A.J. Jefferson is only 25 years old, he has very nice size for a cornerback and is extremely explosive with okay speed. When he learns to play the ball he could be really good. For all the good Spielman has given us, this is really stupid to complain about.
Last year wasn't his 1st., but it was his first since being named GM.
Yep we did have a decent draft out of his last 6 years here. Picking 3rd does help the situation. Lets see how well he does this year picking towards the back end of the 1st round. Hell he still has 2 in the first & we need a starting MLB, A starting CB & a deep threat WR for starters.

Rylan's proud mum keeps her eye on Big Brother
7:30am Tuesday 8th January 2013 in News
HE might be in the Celebrity Big Brother house and fast becoming a household name, but the mum of Stanford-le-Hope's Rylan Clark said he is "just normal" to her.
Linda Clark has spoken of her pride at her son accomplishing another dream and joining the 11 celebrity housemates for this year's series of the reality show on Channel 5.
It's early days, but the former model and controversial X Factor contestant is already the hot favourite to win.
Ms Clark said: "I have been proud of him all this year. I just hope he stays himself and doesn't swear a lot.
"They all seem nice in there, Spencer and Heidi seem a bit rude, but then again he will sus people out, I just hope he gets on with everyone.
"Everyone keeps telling me he's this household name, but really I don't feel any different with him, it's weird."
After getting the boot from X Factor Rylan has been busy travelling up and down the country for various public appearances, but he still made time to spend New Year's Eve with his mum, which gave Ms Clark the perfect opportunity to tell her son "not to make a mess" in the Big Brother house and to be himself.
It also won't just be Big Brother watching over him.
She added: "I will be watching him all the time and seeing what he's doing."
