Lieutenant Governor Sheila Simon spoke at the Thompson Center Wednesday morning, in support of the proposed Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act.
SEE: Illinois Senate returns to Springfield, wrapping up session
"Modern Family" star and openly-gay actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson appeared with Simon in Chicago to show his support. Ferguson said he struggled with coming out but having a president who supports gay marriage gives him hope.
They recommended more people should get involved by calling their legislators to voice their opinions, as well as taking to social media to make their voices heard – even by using the hashtag #ILequality.
Ferguson plays Mitchell Pritchett on the show. He's launching a "Bow Tie Lobby Day" in Springfield Thursday. It symbolizes tying the knot. He and partner Justin Mikita will be getting married later this year.
Supporters said momentum in other states will work in their favor. They've received support from top business executives, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and some clergy members. Governor Quinn has indicated that he will sign off on this bill, should it come to him.
It's unclear whether the Illinois bill has the support needed to pass, but it has one high-profile backer. President Barack Obama has encouraged the General Assembly to support the bill.
Carlos Briones and Richard Rykhus, supporters of the bill, said that after adopting their son, Ty'ree, several years ago they wanted to formalize their relationship in marriage.
"We're in this long term, committed loving relationship, but it's not quite recognized the same way," Rykhus says. "And it was confusing for him. And we just really want him to have the same sense that all other kids have, that his family has the same standing as every other family out there."
Some opponents of gay marriage, though, said Illinois law should not try to overturn what they call natural law.
"A man is not a mother. And a woman is not a father. They never have been. And they never will be," says Paul Caprio of the Illinois Family PAC. "And that's the primary reason that we oppose this legislation."
While advocates are hopeful to get the vote to legalize same-sex marriage in Illinois this week, opponents - including Cardinal Francis George - urged Catholics to oppose the Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act.
The cardinal issued a letter Tuesday calling laws permitting same-sex marriage a "legal fiction" and directing the local Catholic faithful to contact state legislators and make their beliefs known. He put it this way:
"...like the state, the Church cannot change the natural basis of marriage. Does this mean that the Church is anti-gay? No, for the Church...respects each one personally..."
"It is physically impossible for two men or two women to consummate a marriage, even when they share a deep friendship or love," George writes in the letter, meant for inclusion in parish bulletins to be distributed this upcoming weekend. "Does this mean nature is cruel or that God is unfair? No, but it does mean that marriage is what nature tells us it is and that the state cannot change natural marriage."
George writes that despite the church's anti-gay marriage position, the church itself is not anti-gay. He points to a number of groups for Catholic gays, including AGLO, a 25-year-old program that meets for mass weekly at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Boystown.
"[T]he Church welcomes everyone, respects each one personally and gives to each the spiritual means necessary to convert to God's ways and maintain friendship with Christ," George writes, later continuing, "People live out their sexual identity in different ways, but the church offers the means to live chastely in all circumstances, as the love of God both obliges and makes possible."
George called Illinois legislators moving to legalize same-sex marriage "acting against the common good of society. We will all have to pretend to accept something that is contrary to the common sense of the human race."
There are nearly 2.5 million Catholics in the northeastern section of Illinois. A lot of them do agree with what the cardinal has to say. But there are also a large number of individuals in Illinois that disagree.
Longtime gay activist Rick Garcia, director of The Civil Rights Agenda's Equal Marriage Illinois Project, called George's position "unfortunate" in an email.
"How the Church — or any faith — views marriage within its own institution is one thing, but secular society treats marriage as a civil right," said Garcia, who described himself as a practicing Catholic. "No individual or church, including Cardinal George and the Catholic Church is going to be forced to perform or recognize any marriages they would not find consistent with their own beliefs. . . . What also will not change is the fact that secular society views marriage as a fundamental civil right that should be afforded to all."
George ends his letter by directing readers to www.ilcatholic.org, the Website for the Catholic Conference of Illinois, which includes contact information for state legislators. Also signing the letter are six auxiliary bishops.
The cardinal's strong words likely will not come as a surprise for gay-rights advocates. In 2011, during a television interview, George compared the gay rights movement to the Ku Klux Klan. He was weighing in on a controversy surrounding changes to the gay pride parade's route and start time, which would have sent the busy parade by Our Lady of Mount Carmel during Mass.
Gay-rights activists demanded an apology, and some called for him to resign. He apologized for the remarks, which he said were meant in the context of groups attempting to stifle religious freedom.
Ty'ree's adoptive parents took him to visit Carlos's family in Mexico for the Christmas holidays. They said they don't want him to grow up in an all-male environment.
"It's important for him to have women in his life. And we have very good female friends, role models, his grandmother," Briones says.
"We're not asking anyone to change their religious views," Rykhus explains. "We are asking to abide by the separation of church and state. And we're just asking for recognition under the civil law, not under any church law."
The Sun-Times Media Wire and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Lisa Murkowski's resolution that would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gas emissions. According to Politico, the League raised more than $1.5 million to topple candidates in the last election. The Hill reports that Lincoln is fighting back.

I recently wrote about why you might want to hire an interior designer. Now the ball is in your court. What do you need to do to prepare?
Collect samples: Even if they arent the final choice, the samples will help you articulate the look you want. Pictures from magazines are a perfect start so you can show the designer the type of look that pleases you. Have several pictures ready. If you would like, go to paint stores or home stores and select paint-color samples. Even if you select 20 or 30 of them, just pick colors you like. It will get the ball rolling. You can also have pictures of rooms you do not like so the designer knows what to avoid.
Keepers: If you have pieces that you want to keep, be sure the designer knows you arent going to part with them. The designer needs to know about such pieces early so he or she can work with them. If there are pieces you arent sure about, get the designer involved in that decision, too. A good designer will never say everything must go, but instead will work with what you intend to keep.
Start early: If you are building from scratch or remodeling, get the designer involved in all the planning stages and all the meetings with the architect and the builder/contractor. This way everyone is on the same page and potential problems can be eliminated or at least minimized.
Everyone at the table: Be sure all who will be living in the house are present at the meetings. Many times husbands and wives have different opinions on colors, styles and what to keep and what to throw away. The designer can help guide the process in a way agreeable to all.
Fees: Some designers bill for local travel time and others dont. Be sure you know what you will be asked to pay for. This is particularly true if you are paying by the hour. If you are purchasing all the furnishings through the designer, travel time should not be charged as long as it is local.
Keep an open mind: Be ready to think outside the box. A designer might suggest something that you dont like, and thats OK. But be open to possibilities.

Canada's critical infrastructure may be vulnerable to terrorists, hackers, thieves and neglect, study finds
Canada needs a cohesive plan to protect fragile and poorly protected infrastructure from terrorists, hackers and neglect, according to new study by Queen's University professor Andrew Graham.
The study, called Canada's Critical Infrastructure: When is Safe Enough Safe Enough?, identifies numerous threats, including natural disasters, terrorism, theft, hackers, vandals and underinvestment by infrastructure owners.
"Critical infrastructures sustain our way of life," said Professor Graham, who teaches in the School of Policy Studies. "We expect to pick up the phone and hear a dial tone, turn a switch and have power, get a ready supply of fuel for a natural gas furnace, and to turn a faucet for safe drinking water," he added. "We expect a lot, and we get it most of the time, but what we ignore is the inherent fragility of the systems that deliver this way of life. When something goes wrong, it is too late to ask: are we safe enough?"
Increasing integration of information technology into all forms of infrastructure mean that cyber threats, including on-line attacks, are adding a whole new layer of vulnerability.
Ice storms, floods and rail and road blockades of recent years have underlined how even small disruptions in the services we rely on can dramatically affect our lives. Professor Graham's study assesses current efforts to address those threats and suggests themes for building on the work already being done by governments and the private sector.
"What is missing is a cohesive and sustainable approach to Canada's infrastructure. That approach should be led by the federal government, but must be accompanied by a healthy recognition that such leadership cannot carry the full responsibility for either identifying threats and risks, or doing something about them. That responsibility lies in many hands," said Professor Graham.
Professor Graham's report outlines key elements needed to ensure a more secure and sustainable approach to critical infrastructure threats, including: a clear cataloguing of the country's critical infrastructure; adequate reinvestment to avoid increasing vulnerability through neglect; and ways to provide incentives for the private sector to invest in critical infrastructure protection.
Included in the critical infrastructure list are vital systems most Canadians never think about: energy generation and distribution, financial institutions, food supply system, information and communications technology and health care institutions.
The study is published by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

BillTally Methodology
In conducting this BillTally study, National Taxpayers Union Foundation (NTUF) seeks budget estimates for legislation introduced in Congress that would have an annual impact on federal spending of at least $1 million. This data is then cross-indexed with cosponsorship and sponsorship records to show the level of new federal spending (or savings) proposed in the bills each Member of Congress supported. The study includes detailed information on the bills, and the associated cost or savings of each bill. In cases where a Member cosponsors the same spending in more than one bill (e.g., cosponsored more than one universal health care bill), the same spending is offset and thus is not counted twice toward the Member's total. Each Member's tally reflects the extent to which he or she supports more or less government spending, by virtue of the bills he or she has cosponsored or sponsored.
NTUF is typically able to obtain cost estimates for approximately 95 percent of the Senate and House bills thought to have an impact on federal spending. To the extent that our data is incomplete, the effect is likely to understate net pressures on spending and deficits. Our database of spending reduction bills is probably more complete than our database of spending increase bills.
Spending Estimates
The estimates used in this study reflect the best efforts of NTUF to obtain budget estimates on all legislation that would result in annual spending increases or reductions of at least $1 million. To identify such legislation, NTUF analysts first review the official titles and texts of every bill introduced in each Congress. About one-half of these bills are then selected for further research. Of these, over one-half are found to have an annual fiscal impact of less than $1 million. In the remaining cases, NTUF tries to compile credible third-party cost estimates for the bills that have spending impacts of at least $1 million per year. Before determining that an estimate is not obtainable for a given bill, NTUF analysts review the text for authorization amounts or direct spending changes and make at least two substantive contacts with the primary sponsor's office.
In addition to bills whose spending estimates could not be obtained, NTUF excludes several classes of bills from the BillTally database:
1. Resolutions, joint resolutions, and concurrent resolutions, except those governing legislative budgets. Generally, such measures lack enforcement mechanisms.
2. Procedural budget reforms. Any savings that might result from such reforms would be contingent upon future actions that cannot be predicted with any accuracy. (For example, a Constitutionally correct line-item veto would be hard to "cost," since no one can predict the extent that a President may use this power.)
3. Bills introduced by request of the President on which there are no cosponsors. Such measures generally are introduced out of courtesy to the President, not as an expression of the original sponsor's legislative intent. The existence of cosponsors, however, signals otherwise.
4. Bills with an annual spending impact of less than $1 million.
5. Bills having only tax or regulatory effects.
6. Budget reconciliation bills and the 12 appropriations bills. These measures do not have any cosponsors and are sponsored merely by the Member who is formally responsible for the drafting of the bill in the committee or subcommittee. However, supplemental and emergency appropriations are included.
7. Bills that require future legislation for the proposed changes in spending to take effect. These bills lack enforcement mechanisms.
In estimating the cost of reauthorization and appropriation bills, NTUF counts only the net increase or decrease in cost over the prior year's authorization or appropriation.
Furthermore, any bill that raises any type of fee (except for user fees, see below), dedicated tax, or fine in order to fund a new or existing program will be counted as new spending. This type of specific outlay will be counted, but the increase in revenues will not be counted because this study only examines changes in outlays.
Technical Rules
As NTUF has refined the BillTally analysis, we have developed a series of technical rules for scoring bills:
1. Asset Sales/Giveaways: The purchase of an asset is accounted for as an outlay; however, if the federal government sells an asset, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) follows pay-as-you-go rules (PAYGO) and does not score the money received as negative outlays (or offsetting receipts). While this may seem paradoxical, this system was created by the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings II legislation in 1987 to prevent the use of asset sales as a gimmick to balance the budget. If the government gives away an asset as opposed to selling it, this does not count as spending. The rationale: the federal government owns the asset and no matter what it does with it, the money spent on it is gone. Thus, an asset giveaway does not count as spending. There is one exception to this rule of budget neutrality: If the asset is a revenue producer, CBO will score a sale or giveaway as a reduction in offsetting receipts. Similarly, if the federal government had been spending money to maintain or manage the asset, the cessation of these costs will be scored as a savings.
2. Bills Creating Commemorative Coins: The money raised from commemorative coins is counted as an offsetting receipt (negative spending). Often, however, these bills earmark the money for a specific program, so instead of saving money, they end up being spending neutral.
3. Earmarks: Bills often spend money from amounts previously appropriated; BillTally does not count this as new spending.
4. General Allocation of New Taxes: If a bill increases or creates a tax and allocates it to a broadly defined area, NTUF counts it as new spending. For example, if a bill increases tobacco taxes and allocates all this money toward the broad category of health care – even if it does not specify where or how it should be spent – NTUF includes this bill because the intent of such legislation is to increase spending.
5. Interest Savings: NTUF does not count any savings in interest on the debt that might result from program cuts. Instead, NTUF takes into account only the specific programmatic savings.
6. Loans: NTUF multiplies the amount of the loan by the subsidy rate to derive the cost of the loan.
7. Long-Term Savings: BillTally cannot include any costs or savings from bills that occur more than five years out (e.g., if a bill changes the Social Security retirement age effective in the year 2016, NTUF does not include it in the database).
8. Non-Specific, Across-the-Board Cuts: NTUF will count such bills as first year savings if there is some type of enforcement mechanism (such as sequestration) in the bill. The full five-year savings will not be included because NTUF is skeptical that Congress will maintain this cut. Any bill purporting to cut direct spending must include specific language which delineates changes in existing law to effect the cuts.
9. Outlays and Authorizations: NTUF will use outlays if available; otherwise, auth-orizations will be used.
10. Reauthorizations of Programs: BillTally scores increases or changes in spending but does not count reauthorizations that do not make any changes to a program (i.e., extending a particular program out for five years). While technically this is an increase (the baseline in these out years is zero) many programs continue to receive funding even though their authorizations have been expired for years, so it would be unfair to count these simple reauthorizations.
11. "Sense of the Senate/House Resolutions": These are not binding and therefore not counted in BillTally.
12. Spending Paid for by User Fees: If there is a spending increase paid for by a user fee that is dedicated specifically to that program, NTUF does not count it. User fees are offsetting receipts (negative spending, according to CBO), so increasing them would offset the spending increase. For example, an increase in spending by the United States Postal Service that is paid for by an increase in the cost of postage stamps, would be budget neutral.
13. Studies: Most studies are conducted at low or no cost. However, there are a few exceptions. NTUF will endeavor to analyze each proposal to determine if there are any costs.
14. "Such Sums": Generally if a bill appropriates a specific amount of money for one year and for subsequent years appropriates "such sums as may be necessary," NTUF only counts the actual dollar amounts specified and those that can be determined through further analysis.
Sources of Cost Estimates
The estimates contained in the BillTally study are generally obtained from sources outside of NTUF. Where there is more than one estimate available for a given bill, NTUF uses the most credible source. Where NTUF obtains estimates from more than one equally credible source, NTUF uses the least optimistic (largest increase/smallest reduction) estimate. In cases where cost estimates are not readily available from any outside source, NTUF will attempt to calculate an estimate (with the assistance of the sponsor where possible). Generally, these estimates prove to be low compared to the actual cost of the program.
Discretionary Spending Limit Bills
Total discretionary spending caps are costed by comparing the prior-year discretionary total with the proposed discretionary total. If the spending in a proposed bill is less than the prior year's discretionary total, then the savings are measured for up to the first two years, in turn dividing by two if the bill saves money for two consecutive years. However, if the proposed discretionary limit allows for more spending, but less than the prior year's authorized level, no cost is assigned to that bill. The reason is that such bills are rarely effective in holding the line on spending because of a lack of enforcement mechanisms. If the proposed discretionary level is above the prior authorized level then a cost will be assigned to the bill reflecting the difference. This policy includes supplementals, rescissions, and sequestered funds. The scoring of these bills differs from the entitlement bills in that they are scored using the prior year's spending as the baseline. Again, in those cases where multiple estimates are available, NTUF uses the measurement that reflects the highest spending or the lowest savings.
Annualized Estimates
Each bill used in the report contains spending estimates for budget years one through five, the source of those estimates, and an annualized cost.[1] NTUF cannot obtain a full five-year estimate for every bill. In some cases, only multi-year totals are available; while in others, NTUF can obtain only a first-year estimate. To compensate for this irregularity, NTUF annualizes the cost of each bill.
In general, where estimates for each of the next five fiscal years are available, or where only a five-year total estimate can be obtained, the annualized amount is the five-year average. Where only estimates for less than five fiscal years are available, the annualized amount is the average shown for those years. In certain cases where multi-year estimates are available, but where out-year spending estimates are lower than the first year estimate, the annualized amount reflects either the first year estimate, or an average of the years during which spending is projected to grow.[2]
In the case of estimates for across-the-board spending reduction measures enforced by sequestration, NTUF uses only the first-year estimate. Such bills usually do not question the worthiness of any single program, but, rather, appeal to the idea of "shared sacrifice." Their intent often is to force Congressional action of a more discriminating nature as an alternative to "meat ax" across-the-board reductions. The two-step nature of such reductions – in which other Members of Congress must identify what specifically to cut – makes it less likely that such bills, as drafted, would be implemented beyond their first year.
Member Totals
By correlating the sponsorship and cosponsorship records of each Member of Congress with the cost estimates in the BillTally database, NTUF is able to show the prospective net effect on annual federal spending of the bills that each Member supported. In calculating a Member's total, NTUF attempts to ensure it did not overstate the Member's intentions to increase or decrease federal spending. Where a Member cosponsors or sponsors more than one bill with similar purposes, NTUF only counts the most expensive version of the bill toward the total. (In the reports for each Member, bills annotated with an asterisk have not been counted toward the totals.)
The scope and nature of the BillTally cost survey make total precision impossible. To maximize accuracy and ensure fairness, NTUF provides Members of Congress with a significant review period to comment confidentially on the accuracy of their own reports. In response to these comments, NTUF makes appropriate changes to the BillTally database. To the extent that more up-to-date information comes to light, it will be reflected in subsequent reports. However, the comprehensive nature of the database makes it unlikely that errors with respect to individual bills will alter the general findings of this study.
Meanwhile, several factors combine to understate the support for new spending attributed to each Member. First, while NTUF strives for completeness and accuracy in constructing the BillTally database, estimates are unavailable for some of the bills investigated. Second, many of the estimates in the database are provided to NTUF by the sponsors' offices. In comparing the initial estimates of sponsors against those later provided by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) or the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NTUF finds that sponsoring offices tend to understate the proposed spending at stake. The cost of the most expensive bills in the BillTally database – national health care proposals – in some cases may be underestimated by more than $100 billion per year. Third, when it was brought to NTUF's attention through the comment process that two or more bills a Member had sponsored had partially overlapping purposes, NTUF generally subtracted the entire cost of the smaller bill from the Member's total.
Limitations of Study
Some Members of Congress have criticized BillTally because it does not count the social "benefits" or economy-wide "savings" thought to be conferred by certain spending. BillTally uses the same accounting rules as the CBO and the OMB. Budgetary agencies do not estimate the benefits (except in special studies) because such findings are inherently qualitative. If BillTally were to attempt to account for such benefits it would depart from time-tested budgetary principles and become immersed in a thicket of controversy. In point of fact, all sponsors believe the legislation they introduce will produce more benefits than costs – whether or not this is actually the case.
At the level of the individual Senator or Representative, our findings may not prove conclusively that the Member is "fiscally conservative" or otherwise. Some Members of Congress further their legislative objectives through means other than sponsorships or cosponsorships, such as orchestrating floor or committee action. Yet it remains the case that most self-described supporters of government activism tend to have more costly agendas, while most self-described opponents of government activism tend to have less costly agendas.
In an ongoing effort to ensure both accuracy and fairness, NTUF actively solicits any and all comments regarding our BillTally reports. NTUF is most appreciative of the continued cooperation of Members of Congress and their staff. Input is welcomed and encouraged, and NTUF is happy to answer any questions. BillTally is a useful, informative, and visible reminder of NTUF's educational programs on behalf of the American taxpayer.
[1] Since the estimates were generated over a two-year period, some five-year estimates began with FY 2009 while others began with FY 2010. To avoid confusion between these two sets of estimates this report shows estimates for years one through five. In some bills, the estimate for the first fiscal year reflects FY 2009 spending while in others it reflects FY 2010 spending. The effect of this change is to bias downward estimates beginning in FY 2009, since NTUF has made no attempt to adjust those estimates for inflation.
[2] For example, in the case of a five-year estimate where the estimated spending rises for three years but falls to zero by the fifth year, the annualized cost reflected an average of the first three years.

On Friday, as you know, authorities mistakenly identified the Connecticut school shooter as Ryan Lanza.
Police, emergency services units, and the FBI swarmed the 24-year-old's Hoboken, New Jersey apartment building.
Next door, lives neighbor Jen Handel, who was met by police caution tape as she returned home.
Handel along with the rest of America, watched the horror unfolding at Newtown today, but soon the story shifted closer to home.
"I'd been hearing rumors all day that it was going on but I came home from work probably around 5 PM, they had taped off with caution tape my whole street soI had to speak to a cop and I got ID' d to be able to get into my building," said Handel.
Her building, right next door Ryan Lanza's, the older brother of Adam Lanza, the suspect in the Connecticut elementary school shooting.
Ryan Lanza was taken in for police questioning in Hoboken Friday afternoon.
He's not under arrest and is not being called a suspect.
"So the police officer told me he didn't have a lot of information but they blocked off the area waiting for a search warrant to confiscate the brother's computers and things," said Handel.
Officials say Ryan Lanza has been "extremely cooperative" and that he is still be being questioned, but is not in custody and is not believed to have any connection to the school killings.
They say Lanza's computers and phone records were being searched but only "in an abundance of caution."
We're told Ryan Lanza told authorities he had not been in touch with his brother in recent years.
After Lanza left with authorities, Handel says police, the news media, and street barricades all disappeared and life at 13th and Grand is now quiet gain.

The U.S. Army established Warrior Transition Units (WTUs) at major military treatment facilities (MTFs) located around the world. WTUs provide personalized support to wounded, ill and injured Soldiers who require at least six months of rehabilitative care and complex medical management, as well as mobilized Reserve Component Soldiers requiring definitive care.
A WTU closely resembles a "line" Army unit, with a professional cadre and integrated Army processes that builds on the Army's strength of unit cohesion and teamwork so that wounded Soldiers can focus on healing to transition back to the Army or to civilian status. Within a WTU, wounded, ill and injured Soldiers work with their Triad of Care – primary care manager (normally a physician), nurse case manager, and squad leader – who coordinate their care with other clinical and non-clinical professionals.
A Community-Based Warrior Transition Unit (CBWTU) functions as a WTU for Soldiers who receive medical care in their community such as Department of Defense (DoD), TRICARE, or Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare facilities. The CBWTU primarily provides outpatient care management and transition services for Army Reserve and National Guard Soldiers (COMPO 2 and 3) who do not need the day-to-day medical management provided by WTUs on Army installations. The CBWTU enables the Soldier to recover and transition at the location closest to his/her personal support network or in his/her home, if it can be medically supported. Clinical care requirements determine whether a Soldier is assigned to a WTU or CBWTU.
To locate and find contact information for a specific WTU, visit the WTU Locations page.

Interesting that your perception is reversed to mine
When I was younger I did not understand the implications of Spock's development in this movie. "I should have known"

I have heard Roddenberry was once interviewed saying that he thought TMP was still the best of the five films (VI might have been going into production by that point; I don't know). He acknowledged it was a 'slow' film, and that it could have come out a lot better, but presumably gave no indication that he ever thought anything was missing from it character-wise. Whereas things he 'objected' to in the sequels (beyond their overall militaristic tonality) seemed largely incidental... such as Kirk phasering the eel after it comes out of Chekov's ear.
To me TMP is very much "Star Trek created by Gene Roddenberry," in the same vein as 'The Cage' and TNG (particularly in its first two seasons). I also see it as being the polar opposite of ST09 in this regard, to the point that maybe I finally understand some of the derision toward the latter.
ST09 I see as being almost 'pure' TOS... much moreso than any of the STI-VI films prior. The negative side of this (so far) is that the elements that make it pure TOS, are the very elements that prevent it from being a STII or a STIV (the two films that I consider to have surpassed their episodic TV roots -at least thematically- without sacrificing the familiar Kirk/Spock/McCoy chemistry). But ST09 also couldn't be "Star Trek created by Gene Roddenberry" in the sense that 'The Cage', TMP and TNG were. And it doesn't earn enough intellectual points to qualify as the 'compromise' between 'STcbGR' and NBC that classic TOS tried to be (I expect this will change with the next film).
I personally love TMP, but more as proto-TNG than as TOS. And most of the things that I love about it, are things that would not have applied had it remained a pilot to the aborted Phase II. I love the Enterprise, the Klingon ships, the space stations, and all those visual elements of the rebooted universe they continued to build upon until ENT ended in 2005. I love how awesomely huge the ship seems, moreso than any film afterward (even Khan, despite using a lot of the same footage), and how drastically the exterior lighting changes after leaving the inner planets (most sci-fi films never get this right, and certainly no other ST has).
And I love the 'darker' moments of Goldsmith's score... the low, dissonant foreboding strings that convey the empty menace of outer space, beginning from just before Spock shows up en route to V'ger. I think only Ron Jones, during the earliest years of TNG, has ever since managed to lend ST that same eerie, it's-dark-in-deep-space menacing vibe. Even though he is no Jerry Goldsmith or James Horner.
Mostly I love it as an experience in sights and sounds... and that it uses visuals rather than words to realize Roddenbery's future utopia for the audience (lucky thing too, since Patrick Stewart was not on hand). The main complaints against the movie... that it feels stiff, wooden, often lacking in character, etc, I would have to say I think also very much apply to 'The Cage' and a lot of early TNG, including the pilot. And socially Asperger-ish dialogue like "my oath of celibacy is on record, Captain" easily ranks up there with "offspring as in... he's Adam. Is that it?"
I really don't like the pastels either. Bathe the Enterprise interiors in them warmer TWOK 'battle alert' reds any day.

He did have problems when it came to detailing or fleshing out those ideas. And the people you mentioned then came to the fore. This is something that's raised many a question in my head that will never, ever be answered nowadays.

When you think about it, TMP was really just Nomad with a lot of special effects. It's just a rehashed version of a story we already saw. Only instead of talking it to death, they added the old all it needs is a little humanity trick.
The Cage works for example much better than TMP, not because its characters are fleshed out better (Pike etc. feel very "scripty" which is only partly natural for a pilot) but because they are an integral part of the story. It's a story about human desires whereas TMP only features a few nice but unconnected character moments.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam
it is basically Nomad again Star Trek The Motion Picture don't you think it is similar to The Changeling.
Space is disease and dangerous wrapped in darkness and silence-Leonard Bones McCoy
I could just have a soft spot for the flawed movies that could have been. TMP is David Lynch's adaptation of Dune, it's Zack Snyder's take on Watchmen, and Alien 3 all in one. It's (presumed) contempt for Star Wars may have been a huge factor in the direction it chose. But I also can't help admire it for being an old-school sci-fi film, in the tradition of 2001, Forbidden Planet (which feels very proto-ST to me) or The Day the Earth Stood Still. And yet I can't call it great. Maybe parts of it can be 'almost' great if one disassociates the parts of it that are Star Trek.
TMP definitely feels like 2001 but it also feels like it is merely going through the moves. 2001 is soaked in its themes whereas TMP's great Frankenstein theme ("you are my creator but I am your master") with a nicer, synthetic ending than the novel comes up in the end as a kind of punchline. It's kinda like INS, there is a great idea but it is not really interwoven with the movie.
Despite all its abysmal-ness the other problem TOS movie, TFF, presents its theme much more harmoniously.

Oh, it's definitely a mess. When your producer and scriptwriter are re-writing each other's work up until almost the last day of shooting, you know it can't be good for your movie. In fact, just on the script level, I actually think Insurrection -despite its disappointingly shallow execution- has the edge over TMP and TFF put together. If only the designing, production and post-production of INS didn't come across looking like an overbudgeted TV episode. And the story went much, much deeper.
For a time I rated TMP lowest of all, just because I felt that everyone's constant bagging on TFF had become passe (this would've been before the TNG films started going downhill, mind). But TFF has only ever worked for me on a spiritual/metaphorical level --and I happen to be agnostic. Taken as a sci-fi story, it completely falls apart for me. As a 2nd grader would say, I don't 'get' it. They jumped to the galactic core, did not get sucked into a supermassive black hole or fried by a thousand suns, found an alien pretending to be 'god', blasted it with photon torpedoes and drank a toast. They found nothing. And I don't get it.

I think I'm the only one that likes it. I grew up on it as a kid. The visuals of the big E. The score.
I think one of the reasons why its not a favorite is the storyline. Think about to pre production. This project was seesawing from new tv series to movie and back and forth. That kind of hurt it in a way.

And while Madonna may have ditched her mole back in the early '90s, for many of us, these marks are permanent features. Check out the crazy ways different cultures have interpreted beauty marks, and find out whether your moles would have netted you a good husband or a visit to the exorcist. Source: WireImage Ancient Greece What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Ancient Greeks believed that moles and birthmarks could foretell a person's destiny. Melampus, scribe to King Ptolemy I, wrote a whole tract on mole divination. Apparently, a mole on your cheek meant great future wealth, while those with marks on the backs of their throats would end up beheaded. Source: WireImage 1 / 10 Imperial China What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In Classical Chinese medicine, there was a longstanding tradition of moleomancy, a divination style based upon a person's moles and birthmarks. The good or ill luck of your particular marks was determined by their relation to the face's nine "wealth spots" and well as their color and size. Easily seen moles were thought to serve as warnings or reminders while hidden ones indicated good luck or fortune. Source: WireImage 2 / 10 Ancient Rome What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For Romans, fair and unblemished skin was the sine qua non of beauty. Moles, freckles, and other marks were considered problematic, and Roman women attempted to remove or fade them with ashes made from snails. However, moles or birthmarks were considered better than blemishes or branding marks left over from having been a slave, so many people used soft leather patches made to look like moles to cover up their "defects." Source: WireImage 3 / 10 Medieval Europe What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In medieval Europe, moles and birthmarks (like so many other things) were considered signs of demonic possession. Church edicts from the period even took warts and moles to be physical signs of where, precisely, the devil entered a body like some kind of supernatural hickey. Source: WireImage 4 / 10 The Renaissance What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 People in the Renaissance had their very own wacky ideas about the meaning of moles. Quack Richard Sanders invented a faddish "system" by which he claimed people could use facial moles to find out where people had corresponding birthmarks. At the time, birthmarks were believed to give deep insights into personality. So if you could find out where someone's moles were, you'd know where their birthmarks were, too, and then could use them to discern whether someone would make a good husband, business partner, etc. Source: WireImage 6 / 10 The 18th Century What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In the 18th century mouches (meaning "flies") — felt patches made to look like beauty marks — became an insanely popular makeup item among the women of Western Europe. So much that designers began creating increasingly large and elaborate ones. At the height of their popularity, there were mouches that looked like coaches drawn by four horses and even ones that looked like three-masted ships. Source: WireImage 6 / 10 The Victorian Era What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Victorians had a great deal of faith in phrenology, or the "science" of using a person's head to determine their personality, intelligence, and overall character. Moleoscopy, a special subgenre of the practice, claimed to be able to identify character traits based on mole placement. For example, those with marks on the right sides of their foreheads were considered extremely intelligent and competent. If your mole was on the left side of your forehead, though, you were probably just a spendthrift. Source: WireImage 7 / 10 The 1950s What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The 1950s were a time of buttoned-up sexuality, and Marilyn Monroe, the era's greatest sex symbol, quickly became known for the off-center mole on the left side of her mouth. A century before, moles near a person's mouth denoted high levels of sensuality, and the association was still clearly hanging around in the 20th century. Now, however, instead of being a negative trait, moles like Marilyn's became sexy, inciting a generation of young women to draw them on for a little extra sex appeal. Source: WireImage 8 / 10 The 1980s and 1990s What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Cindy Crawford may have gotten made fun of for her mole when she was a child, but once she hit the runways in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the beauty mark on top of her lip became just as iconic as Marilyn's almost half a century before. Even earlier, Madonna copied Marilyn's look to bring the big, sexy mole back in the 1980s. Source: WireImage 9 / 10 Today What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you don't have a beauty mark where you'd like one these days, you can always follow Amy Winehouse's lead and get a Monroe piercing. The round above-lip studs are meant to look like Marilyn Monroe's mole, but you can also get fake mole piercings on your cheeks and chin.

BARTONVILLE Ill -- Honks could be heard from miles away Thursday night in Bartonville as car after car passed by.
The motto was clearer than day, "No Mo' Chemo".
"She's cancer free. All the tests came back good," said Hailey Newman's father, Luke Newman. "There is nothing to worry about. I try not to cry and try to be a man about it, but you have all of your friends and family here. They've been here with us for three years, and it's just an awesome feeling."
Hailey Newman, 6, of Bartonville was diagnosed with a form of leukemia in 2010 and was immediately sent to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
"They make the medicine for these kids, and I mean, she didn't get sick from the chemo," said Hailey's grandmother, Lisa Grammer. "It's just amazing what St. Jude does."
After three years of nightly chemo treatments from home and dozens of trips back to the hospital in Memphis, Hailey has made her final trip back to her overjoyed family.
Among the crowd was another St. Jude patient, who recently overcame brain cancer.
She said Hailey was her inspiration.
"If she can do it, I can do it," said cancer survivor, Kelly Dunn. "I can't be a wimp if someone that small is so brave. It really inspired me and motivated me to keep fighting."
Hailey will receive her final chemo treatment Tuesday and will have to go to routine check-ups until she is eighteen.

Now who will oversee and enable the rapid expansion of dense housing and repetitive retail (I think some more Safeways and Starbucks'es are needed)? I think there's a few square meters east of town that have yet to be developed, as well as infill needed all the way up 580 to Castro Valley...
Hope the have a good succession plan, but given it's da gub'mint, I wouldn't count on it.

This looks like another case of a municipal executive retiring at around age 50, likely with full salary and benefits for the rest of her life. If so, it's another outrageous case of the hog-gorging-at-the-slop-trough at the expense of the taxpayers. There is no reason why these municipal workers should not have to wait until social security retirement age to collect their pensions; and the amount they collect should be cut to about 2/3 of their last salary.
on Sep 10, 2013 at 10:03 am
2/3rds of her salary would equate to a pension of $153,000 in her first year of retirement, plus a two percent annual cost of living increase, plus full medical benefits for life.

Considering how the new revenues allowed Dublin to improves it schools so that math API scores are higher and class sizes are smaller than Pleasanton's, maybe she deserves some of that pension.

Retirement is probably larger because of all the pension spiking that goes on.
John, you are confusing the city with the school district; two different agencies. It is interesting though that Dublin's math score are better than Pleasanton. If you go to ed-data, you will see that Dublin is receiving $8,342 per student (including their parcel tax) and Pleasanton is receiving $8,480 per student. So people who say that Dublin is doing better because they have a parcel tax is not correct since Pleasanton receives other money equivalent to the parcel tax that Dublin received. Dublin receives $6,055/student from the state and Pleasanton received $5,779/per student from the state which in itself does not seem right that we receive less than Dublin from the state but it looks like that is back filled somehow with no parcel tax.

Two different entities. That probably doesn't matter to you though because I'm sure every 25 year employee deserves "$153,000 in her first year of retirement, plus a two percent annual cost of living increase, plus full medical benefits for life."

Sunday was a different story for Tampa Bay's 2009 first-round pick out of Kansas State. Unlike his first two starts, Freeman's outing vs. the undefeated New Orleans Saints resembled that of a rookie.
Freeman completed 17-of-33 passes for 126 yards and threw one touchdown while tossing three interceptions en route to Tampa Bay's 38-7 loss to New Orleans.
With Freeman under center, the Bucs generated just 219 yards of offense. Unfortunately, Freeman's 18-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Michael Clayton on the opening drive wasn't a sign of things to come for Tampa Bay.
The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Freeman went on to turn the ball over a total of four times (three interceptions and one fumble on a sack), which led to 17 points for the Saints. Freeman finished the game with a 33.1 quarterback rating.
When asked about Freeman's step back, Bucs head coach Raheem Morris said his rookie quarterback would have to learn from the mistakes he made Sunday.
"He's going to fight through these things," said Morris. "Josh has to find a way to fight through it and getter better. He can't throw that interception near the end of the game. He has to find a way to move the ball when we have to. He's got to find a way to pick up the tempo and deal with all the adversity you're talking about. He's done a nice job of handling adversity, so I think he'll learn from it and get better."
Freeman, 21, has deceiving mobility for a big signal caller. He has rushed 13 times for 90 yards. His best production has come out of the shotgun formation as opposed to taking snaps from under center. He and Bucs C Jeff Faine have had a few botched quarterback-center exchanges this season. Although those mishaps didn't occur vs. the Saints, Morris was asked why Freeman appears to be more comfortable - and successful - in the shotgun.
"I don't think he's struggling come out of center, I think he's more comfortable working out of the shotgun," said Morris. "When you're in the shotgun you get to stand up, see the whole defense and really get into a rhythm. I think he's comfortable under center. He likes working under center. In college he was always under center. He started playing out of the shotgun late in his career. I don't think there's anything to that. He's comfortable doing both. He just didn't have a great day yesterday. He was off."
At 1-9, Tampa Bay is committed to playing and developing Freeman, which is frustrating to some of the team's players, including wide receiver Antonio Bryant, who was critical of offensive coordinator Greg Olson's play calling on Sunday.
"He's developing. Right now it just seems that's what we're going out there and developing Josh more than really trying to compete," Bryant told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune after Sunday's game.
"For the two weeks I sat out, it was like 'Bombs away. Then today it's kind of like very, very conservative. I never felt like we made the adjustments we could have made, to go there and make the plays down the field to beat them deep. Especially with the situation given. They weren't even in their first team completely. That was kind of weird to me. But it is, what it is."
Bryant was referring to Tampa Bay's game plan, which allowed he and fellow starting WR Michael Clayton to combine for just five catches despite the fact that the Saints were without both of their starting cornerbacks due to injuries.
"We knew we were going to get Cover 2, which is what we got," said Morris. "We had success running the football. Not that you can't, but I just chose not to with those guys. I wanted to run the football and take some shots downfield. We were just off. We were off with our passing unit and we were off with our quarterback.
"Antonio is entitled to his opinion. We've got to develop Josh, there's no question about that. But the game plan is to go out there and try to win and beat people. We were trying to run the ball and keep [Saints quarterback] Drew Brees off the field. That was a part of it as well. We didn't want to get our young quarterback involved in a shootout. That wouldn't be fair to him or our team."
Morris wasn't just critical of Freeman. He blamed himself for Tampa Bay's time management woes towards the end of the first half in each of the Bucs' last two games.
The Bucs have attempted to drive the field and score at the end of each half against Miami and New Orleans, and those decisions have come back to bite Tampa Bay, evidenced by the fact that its defense has surrendered scores after the Bucs' offensive drives have stalled and failed to run time off the clock before halftime.
Morris suggested he might have to temper his enthusiasm when it comes to his rookie signal caller, who leads the 29th-ranked offense in the NFL.
"That's definitely on me,''said Morris. "That's something you want to do. The confidence you have in the young man, in the kid, just giving him an opportunity to go out there and win. If you had a big-time stud like we think we're going to have here sooner or later you want to go down there and attack them and try to steal three.
"The clock management, as far as running the clock out, we could've gone to halftime probably and gotten some of that time off and knocked some of that stuff out of there. But you've just got so much confidence in the young man, you just never know when it's going to come. Because you've seen it happen the last couple of weeks. It just didn't happen for him yesterday. That's on me. Completely. That's my decision. Those are things I can say to call off the dogs. But when you're playing a team like the Saints and you have an opportunity to go down and get three, I was trying to steal it. I probably shouldn't have. I probably shouldn't have played so aggressive. That's a question mark completely for me right there."
Freeman has completed 49-of-96 (51 percent) of his passes for 543 yards and tossed five touchdowns and five interceptions while getting sacked 10 times in three NFL starts.
Sunday's performance against the Saints can be chalked up to growing pains for Tampa Bay's rookie quarterback. The most important thing for Freeman to do, according to Morris, is learn from those mistakes and continue to grow.
"He went out there and committed his first real rookie blunder yesterday,'' Morris said of Freeman, who threw a bad interception late in the fourth quarter. "He knew it right away when he came to the sideline. It was a rookie mistake and he didn't try to blame anybody else for it. The best thing he did was he accepted responsibility for what he did. That's all you can ask from a rookie quarterback. He'll be a better quarterback today because of it."
