Twin performing duo delivers values through music
Not even the dismal weather could dampen the spirited music resonating from Ice Auditorium on Feb. 25. Twin brothers Caleb and Solomon (Sol) Rexius took the stage with energy. The audience included the Linfield and McMinnville communities that listened attentively as the brothers made jokes and conversed with good humor.
Senior Sierra Stopper organized the event when she heard the twins' band, Caleb and Sol. She said she first heard about Caleb and Sol from her sister when the group performed a live concert at her high school.
"The idea took off after [I returned from studying abroad in Spain] and it became beyond what I originally thought. It was in September; I was thinking of events for Salt-n-Light and thinking of a way to bring both the concert and community at once."
To fund the event, Stopper spoke to Campus Ministry, Director of College Activities Dan Fergueson, Associated Students of Linfield College and junior Nic Miles, the Linfield Activities Board Musical Entertainment Chair.
Miles said he and Stopper decided to go through with it because there was an opportunity to work with another group and work with people outside of Cat Cab and to invite a different crowd.
The Rexius' music is primarily Christian but also includes recitation, pop and rap genres. Although their music is based on their Christian faith, Caleb said he believes their music connects to all beliefs, as their songs pertain to love, faith and hardship.
Both singers are inspired by their faith as well as other musicians and "personal experiences or experiences from people we know," Sol said in an e-mail.
Included in their group are violinist and vocalist Marisa Frantz, lead guitarist, Scott Frantz and drummer Hunter Gray, all of whom provide an additional layer to Caleb and Sol's harmonic voices.
To expand to the genre of the music, the Rexius brothers took the stage by rapping, which received enthusiastic responses. At one point they engaged the audience by having it ask questions.
One student asked whether he could marry the brother, and Sol replied, "I can't tell you, and I won't tell you."
The concert received enthusiastic feedback from audience members who deemed the concert "pretty good."
Senior Karina Grant esteemed the band as a "very talented group of musicians."
"I enjoyed the be-bopping and the rapping," Grant said.
Junior Keith Mader also commented on the performance.
"I thought they were really good. I checked out the music before, and they are really cool guys," he said.
In their song "Burn," Caleb took the lead playing the acoustic guitar. His voice carried a melodic, essence-filled tone. In another, Sol recited a small speech, accompanied by a mournful violin played by Frantz and the crystalline tone of the keyboard played by Caleb.
Sol said the speech was about "how Jesus is better than anything, better than achievements. He should be our ultimate pursuit."
Toward the end of the concert, the band showed "Barabbas" a film illustrating the Christian Gospel. Sol said the clip tells a story about a prisoner who was set free. Although the prisoner was guilty, Jesus took his place and was crucified instead.
To add to their repertoire of songs, they also sang their best-selling single "Afloat." The inspirational and expressive composition is based on the biblical story of Peter who walks on water with Jesus. The twins' songs were lyrical and artistically sung with zest and passion.
Originally dedicated to sports in high school and at the University of Oregon, the Rexius twins said in an e-mail that they decided to concentrate on music and ministry instead.
The balancing act between their career and daily life proves to be one of the biggest obstacles for both twins.
One of the questions from the audience was ''when did the band get their inspiration?'' Caleb answered: "We share song writing. We write songs on our own then share ideas."
Caleb and Sol's surprising success as musicians led them to perform publicly and release their 1999 debut album "Afloat."
"Good songs just happen. They come naturally as I'm playing piano or guitar and letting my mind wander," Sol said in an e-mail. "I can't think of any other way our music has evolved."

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The 2007 Southeastern Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships kicked off Thursday with the opening day of the decathlon and heptathlon at Sam Bailey Stadium on the campus of the University of Alabama.
Auburn had just one competitor taking part in the multi-events, as redshirt freshman Jager Livingston finished the first half of the decathlon in 12th place with 3213 points. Livingston had his best performance in the 400m dash, finishing seventh in 50.96 seconds while winning his heat. Livingston, whose best events come on day two, also finished ninth in the long jump with a leap of 6.20m (20-4.25).
"Jager had a solid first day," said head coach Ralph Spry. "He started a little slow but picked up the pace. The 1500m and the javelin will be big events for him tomorrow. He put himself into a position to score some points for us, which would be huge for him as a freshman."
The competition will hit full stride with a full day of events Friday, beginning with the men's hammer throw at 10 a.m. The meet runs through Sunday, May 13.

Six months ago, Toronto FC eliminated the LA Galaxy from the CONCACAF Champions League, but a lot has happened since then. For example, we learned that LA is a very good team and Toronto are awful. We saw that on Saturday night as the two teams squared off again and this time the Galaxy prevailed 4-2 to clinch a playoff spot, while the Reds remain at the bottom of the MLS table.
Juninho continued his fine run of play in the 11th minute with the opening goal. After a foul just outside the box, Juninho curled the ball around the wall while a bewildered Freddy Hall watched as the ball found the net for the opening tally.
The Brazilian wasn't done, though. In the 33rd minute he hit an absolute rocket from 30 yards that left Hall no chance. The ball found the upper corner for an amazing goal that put LA two goals up.
Robbie Keane got in on the action three minutes later thanks to some fine play by Landon Donovan and Mike Magee. Donovan got down the left before cutting back for Magee, who took a gorgeous first touch the left the TFC defense in his wake. That forced the Reds to scramble and Keane wide open so Magee fed Keane and the Irishman gave LA a three-goal lead.
LA's big lead was completely deserved, too. They completely outclassed Toronto, who didn't even look like professionals, let alone capable of playing with a team in the form that LA is in right now. The Galaxy had all of the possession and chances, while the Reds just hacked away aimlessly and without success.
But once down three goals, TFC somehow found a way back in the match. Terry Dunfield scored from close range when Marcelo Sarvas decided that marking was optional and left him wide open in front of goal and in the 86th minute, Luis Silva scored as well.
Somehow, despite TFC looking truly dreadful and the Galaxy completely controlling the match, the Reds were only a goal down. But any hope that the visitors may have had vanished in stoppage time when Keane whiffed on a perfect pass from Donovan, but got it back and beat a defender before finishing well to ice the match.
The win didn't just clinch a playoff spot for the Galaxy, it put them into second place in the Western Conference. They are tied with Salt Lake on 49 points, but have a superior goal difference in the battle for second, while Seattle sits one point back.
Toronto is on just 22 points this season, five points back of anyone else. They looked even worse than that for most of Saturday night.

A house fire in Arnold Monday night sent one woman to the hospital with minor burns and killed a family pet.
The fire broke out around 6:40 p.m. in the 3700 block of Lisa Dr., said Fire Marshall Lloyd Montgomery, of the Rock Community Fire Protection District. The homeowner, his wife and two dogs were in the home at the time.
"We tried to save the one dog, but we just couldn't find it," Montgomery said.
The fire began in the living room and rapidly spread throughout the house, Montgomery said. A candle is believed to have been the cause of the blaze.
Pat Mollard, a neighbor, was home when the fire broke out. He said he heard a commotion outside and looked out of his front window and saw a fire truck going by.
"At first it just looked like there was just a little fire in back," Mollard said. "And then the firefighters kicked out the front windows, and the flames shot up like three stories high. But they got it under control pretty quick with their ladder truck."
Firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control in about 30 minutes, but stayed on scene for about two hours. The home was completely destroyed.

Title: God Against the Gods: The History of the War Between Monotheism and Polytheism
Author: Jonathan Kirsch
Publisher: Viking Compass
• Engaging book that tells history from the perspective of those who lived it
• Shows how the fate of the world can be altered by the life of a single person
• Argues that monotheism has been a hinderance to religious liberty and freedom of conscience
• None
• History of the triumph of monotheism over polytheism in the West
• Focuses on the success of Constantine the Great and failure of Julian the Apostate
• Argues that had Julian lived, polytheism would have returned as well as greater religious tolerance
Book Review
The social evolution from polytheism to monotheism in the West is explored by Jonathan Kirsch in his book God Against the Gods: The History of the War Between Monotheism and Polytheism. The author of several other best-selling books on Christian and Jewish history, Kirsch tells the story of this shift by focusing on the actions of Emperor Constantine and several of his successors, all of whom played important roles in extinguishing Roman religious traditions and making Christianity the state religion for the Roman empire.
That isn't all there is to this story, though. The development of monotheism can be traced to the EgyptIan pharaoh Akhenaton whose efforts to suppress polytheism and replace it with monotheism met with far less success than occurred later in Rome. There is also the fact that philosophical and religious elites in Rome and Greece were growing less and less polytheistic themselves, inclining instead towards the idea of a single unifying principle behind all of reality.
It is because of this that Kirsch's book should do well and will probably be read somewhat widely. There is little market for esoteric philosophical tracts about theological debates over the numbers of gods held by Greek and Roman philosophers thousands of years ago, but there is a market for stories of epic battles and family betrayals whether they occur today or in the ancient world.
What's really interesting about the ascendency of monotheism in the West, though, is just how important particular individuals and their actions really were. Comparing the relative qualities of polytheism and monotheism may be the proper subject for philosophy, but such considerations don't appear to have carried much weight in terms of how events actually proceeded.

This week's garbage time plays after the jump.
Here's last week's winner.
B. Second, we have Lendale White's 5-yard TD run. Lendale Light looked pretty nimble on his way to the endzone. This put us back in the game.
A. Kerry Collins throws a 42-yard (most of those being because of Britt) pass to Kenny Britt. Question: Why is a guy that only gets on the field half the plays of the starting WRs leading the team in every recieving category (other than TDs)? Maybe he deserves to start?
B. Kerry Collins throws a 14-yard TD pass to Nate Washington. Nate had a pretty good game today. I don't remember one blatantly dropped pass by the WRs all game. In fact, they were saving Kerry's @$$ by making catches on some poorly thrown balls.
C. Kerry Collins runs for a 10-yard TD. The only reason this play is on here is because there was nothing else. I hate this guy right now. Go write some country songs or something.
D. During the week, Kerry Collins went and filled in for a high school team. He came in and caught an errant field goal and then spiked it to the other team, giving them the winning TD.(Yes, the game was so bad that there were no other videos to put in here. Gage's catch near the end was pretty sick but I couldn't find it anywhere.)
If you think this week was bad, just wait 'til Peyton gets a hold of our defense.

How to Start a Cloud Accounting Practice
AccountingWEB (05/13/14); Vetter, Amy
Firms considering starting cloud-based accounting practices should follow a few recommendations for a successful transition. Finding a mentor is the first step in adopting a cloud practice. Local firms, which are easily found via the state CPA societies, are great resources. The Small Business Association also provides professional advice for the specific needs of small businesses, while accounting software vendors have lists of certified advisors on their Web sites. For new firms, starting a new cloud-based business can be daunting, but asking for referrals from family and friends is a good initial start. Optimizing Web sites is important, particularly because many clients will be referred directly from the Web. Contacting the Webmasters of firms with outstanding and engaging Web sites is another strategy for building a solid online presence. Finally, sharing posts about the new practice on social media platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook will drive brand exposure and attract prospective clients. Read More
Deflating Four Myths About the Wonders of Cloud Computing
Entrepreneur (05/13/14); Dynowski, Eric
There are four major myths that must be debunked about cloud computing. The first myth is that the cloud is redundant; in fact, businesses must purchase services for redundancy to prevent data loss. The second myth of cloud computing is automatic scaling. In fact, SMBs must ensure that applications are best suited for the size of their business. The third myth is that the cloud is not secure. While many IT providers are reluctant about cloud security, employees actually represent the primary point of cloud vulnerabilities. The final myth is that the cloud is cheap; in reality, businesses adding select services are costs that can quickly accumulate. Read More
Pinterest Is More Than Images: 5 Ways to Optimize Pinterest for Local Search
Small Business Technology (05/13/14); Ray, Ramon
Tailwind CEO Danny Maloney says businesses can use the social media site Pinterest to generate new business. Although the site is largely considered a platform for sharing pictures, Maloney says business can optimize their Pinterest by adding their location to attract new business. Verifying a Web site is another important part of attracting clients, which also provides businesses access to Pinterest's analytics tool. Maloney advises businesses to promote their Pinterest page on other social media pages like Facebook and Twitter to drive interest. These sites also provide location-specific capabilities for more targeted engagement of new clients. Maloney advises businesses to create a local board using "Place Pins" which create an interactive map for users. Finally, Maloney says businesses should use keywords related to a local area, particularly words that local residents will relate to. Read More
Protect Your Small Business With Two-Factor Authentication
Small Business Computing (05/08/14); Moran, Joe
The growing sophistication of malicious IT attacks underscores the need for small businesses to deploy stringent security measures. Two-factor authentication is one tactic SMBs can use to secure their businesses and assets. Two-factor authentication consists of implementing an extra security step prior to logging into an account and generally involves a mobile device. However, the mobile device does not have to be a smartphone, which is an advantage of current two-factor authentication measures. After the first step of a user's login, a Web site will send a special code to a user's mobile device and then users will input the unique code to login to their account. Several major sites offer two-factor authentication, including Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Dropbox. Read More
Small Businesses Bank on Social Media for Success
Small Business Computing (05/01/14); Hernandez, Pedro
According to a Manta survey, social media is a top priority among small businesses. Social media ranked as the number one technology that SMBs cited as promising, followed by mobile devices. Manta CEO John Swanciger says SMBs believe tasks can be completed faster on PCs, although mobile devices have entered the workplace. This belief accounts for desktop and laptop PCs as a top hardware investment for SMBs. Printers, scanners, and fax equipment were the next hardware investments, followed by mobile devices. Swanciger says SMBs' prioritization of social media coincides with the milestone of welcoming repeat clients, which was cited by 40 percent of businesses. Swanciger added that SMBs want to learn from other businesses, which is indicative of 20 percent of businesses citing in-person networking as a primary consideration. Read More
Troubleshoot Failing Backups
Processor.com (05/02/14)Vol. 36, No. 9, P. 34
IT analysts say one common issue encountered by businesses is data backups that fail during scheduled times. One cause of failed data backups is corrupted data, which has the potential to impact productivity. Other common issues include lack of communication between multiple parties working on IT administration, leading to kinks in the backup process. Gartner analyst Dave Russell advises businesses to review their backup plans regularly and to be prepared to troubleshoot data backup issues. Creating a plan that includes multiple backups in different locations is also a sound idea to ensure business continuity in the event of a catastrophe. Russell notes that data backups can be conducted incrementally, which will provide businesses with accurate snapshots of the parts of the backup process that work seamlessly or indicate potential errors in the process. Data backups should also be tested quarterly and cloud providers should be used as a potential data backup site. Read More

DECATUR COUNTY, GA (WALB) – Some parents worry major cuts in the Decatur County school system will hurt their children's education.
The Board of Education proposed nearly four million dollars in budget cut including six more furlough days for the 2010-2011 school year.
Decatur County schools may leave more than 30 teaching vacancies unfilled, schedule six furlough days equaling a 3% teacher pay cut, and scale back many extracurricular programs next year.
"It's scary because I want my son to have the same opportunities I had, even more so," says Tameria McNeer.
She worries about her son and god-brother's future education and thinks the state needs to make education a priority.
"I really don't think it's a good idea. I think they should cut something else and not education."
Decatur County Superintendent Ralph Jones says the cuts are a necessary evil.
"There's nothing we cutting that doesn't not affect the students. And that concerns me. The band is important. The growth and leadership you learn from athletics. They are a lot of lessons to be learned outside of math class."
Some people think the new high school has a big role in the Decatur County school budget crisis. But Jones says the multi-million dollar facility has nothing to do with the budget cuts.
"We closed two schools. We're not paying power bills, insurance, operating, maintenance, upkeep on two schools now to go into a new building. But regardless, if our students were still in the oldest buildings with the walls falling down, we, our school system, would still be facing 3.9 million dollars of operating costs."
But parents like McNeer are still concerned about growing class sizes.
"Someone is not going to be listening or learning the way they should be."
"We still think it's manageable," assures Jones. "But of course, great teachers make things happens. And we've got great teachers here. They've been good to understand where we are in this fiscal crisis and they're stepping up to the plate."
And they'll have to continue to do so to keep up with growing demands on a shrinking budget.
The Decatur County Board of Education will vote on the proposed budget cuts at their next meeting.

Arcen Games
Fight a guerilla war against the robot overlords in the mini-XCOM PC game Bionic Dues
Bionic Dues
- Linux
- Mac
You have fifty days to prepare for an inescapable robot assault.
As far as video game premises go it's hard to get much better than that, and it's that inertia that drives much of the success of Bionic Dues.
The gameplay is already tense, but at all times the tension is further ramped up by the impending doom of the robot assault in this indie strategy game from AI War-creators Arcen Games.
Neverending roguelikes
Bionic Dues is a turn-based mech strategy game. As mentioned, it begins with the conceit that the city that you inhabit has been destroyed and you're the only mech pilot left to defend the last vestige of humanity: Mech Headquarters. The robots are coming though, and they're massing their forces for a final assault in 50 days.
The only defense you have is the squad of four mechs that you pilot in each mission. At the beginning of each game you select from a pool of different mech styles to create the group you'll use throughout the campaign. You can choose from types like the close-range "Brawler," the stealthy "Ninja," the hacker "Scientist," and many more with their own unique capabilities.
You can switch between them on the fly, so it's important to create a group that works well together. You then cap off your team by selecting a pilot from a pool of seven choices, each with their own special trait. Throughout the game you'll also have to customize your mechs with gear you loot from locations and enemies, but in classic mech fashion you have to ensure you come in under their wattage limits.
Each day you're able to pick one mission in a location throughout the city, and it will have ramifications on the final battle. You can assault an arms factory to find some great weapon-parts. You can attack one of their manufacturing facilities to decrease the number of mechs they'll have available in the final confrontation. You can go on difficult assassination missions to take out key boss bots. There are many different things you can do, and they all have to figure into your grand strategy for surviving that climactic final day by building up your mechs or tearing down the enemy forces.
That's the overall meta-strategy of the game, and it takes place on a city-overview map where you select your missions and customize your units. Once you're inside one of the missions, the game becomes a fast-paced turn-based strategy game.
Fast, but turn-based
Don't let the "turn-based-strategy" bit scare you off though, the game moves so quickly and easily that it often barely feels turn-based. This isn't Final Fantasy Tactics where a turn takes 5 minutes as you individually move each unit then wait for the enemy to individually move each unit.
Only one of your four mechs is active at any time and you use the WASD keys to move around the grid. You can move in continuous motion, and the enemy will simply move along with you. You can slow down and take your time when you want to, but when you just want to move through the level it's as fast as a 2D action game.
These missions are great fun to think your way through. There are at least half a dozen different weapons at your disposal across your different mechs, each with differing range, fire patterns, and damage output, and you'll have to figure out the best way to dispatch a dungeon full of enemies using all the tools at your disposal.
It seems overly simple at first, but once you get used to swapping between mechs, using the whistle ability to attract enemies as well as the stealth ability to stay hidden you'll find considerable strategic depth. The later stages are devious.
At one point, destroyed enemies begin to blow EMP charges when they're destroyed, disabling the mech you used to kill it for three turns, and if you blow up five enemies with a rocket launcher, that could be 15 turns. It's a wonderful strategic mechanic that forces you to consider that killing-all-the-enemies-at-once might not actually be the best strategy. I'm not exactly sure of the science behind EMP charges that stack, but to be fair, I'm not sure of the science behind warrior mechs and robot-invasions either.
What's wonderful about Bionic Dues is that it manages to combine meta-strategy and micro-strategy. What you choose to do in the over-arching war against the machines affects the tools and upgrades you have to work with in the missions; while success in the larger war can't be achieved without making good decisions in each mission. It's like a fast-paced, mini-XCOM.
It gives weight to each and every mission as you know that every misstep could seriously impact the result of your game. It gives you much more to consider when you start asking yourself whether you should go explore the unseen corner of the level. You might find loot that will help in the rest of the campain, or you might find booby traps and enemies that could cause you to fail the mission or receive fewer rewards.
Bionic Dues is available on PC, Mac, and Linux now for $9.99.

Once again, PATFO proved themselves as wizards of the draft when they made a move for the 6'7 SF Kawhi Leonard of San Diego State. At the time, many of us were unsure of the move as we watched one of our favorite Spurs in Hill pack up for his home state in Indiana. Although we still miss George and wish him well, the presence of Leonard has been huge for us this season, and (if it comes to it) our chances of getting past the Thunder in the WCF skyrocket with Leonard on the floor. As the careers of Duncan and Manu are nearing the final chapters, Leonard's role as a Spur will undoubtably have to evolve and take on more of a load. I am curious, as many of us our, to see what that role will be.
Kawhi in his rookie season has surpassed any expectations Spurs fans had for him heading into the season. I myself had doubts of how successful our draft pick could be after a long lockout and a schedule featuring countless back to backs and a few back-to-back-to-backs. But to our surprise, the former Aztec has proved himself to be a quick learner and has contributed in more than a few ways to the silver and black.
Defensively, Kawhi has shown potential to become one of league's finest. This was not as big of a surprise as other parts of his game, as this was the reason he was drafted. He happily accepts the hardest defensive assignments, and never shows signs of being flustered no matter who he is guarding. His length gives him the ability to bother even the best of shooters, while also allowing him to cut off passing lanes and come up with big steals. On the boards, Kawhi helps make up for the lack in size we have. Bill Land says it best when he likens him to a whacky waving inflatable man. Statistically, Leonard isn't making a case for rookie of the year. However, it is mainly the efforts that don't go down in the books that make him so special.
The biggest surprise from Leonard has been offensive game. Even Pop has stated that he didn't see this coming. After all, who would expect a rookie to learn a high powered offense like that of the Spurs' without the ever important offseason? I'll tell you who. No one. Kawhi has shown a substantial improvement in his offensive game since the beginning of the year, and gives us an extra option from behind the arc.
On both ends of the floor, Kawhi, in his constant cool and calm demeanor, gives 110%. He is methodical, meticulous, and at times spectacular. He loves to do the small things. It is clear now that the move we made to get him, although it was a sad day, was in the best interests of the organization. Kawhi was a great acquisition, and will be a great player for us for years to come. Pop is slowly grooming him to be the next Bruce, and I would be surprised if at the end of his career he didn't have a few all-defensive first teams to his name.
My inquiry begins when we no longer have Duncan or Manu. He obviously will be key for us on the defensive end of the floor, but will Kawhi be forced to do more things on the offense? If so, what do you think the ceiling for his offensive skill set is? He has shown that he holds a lot of potential, but are there limits to his offense? What do you guys think?

Frequently Asked Questions
How much medical cannabis will I be able to have?
Qualifying patients may possess up to 2.5 ounces of medical cannabis in a 14-day period from an authorized medical cannabis dispensary.
How much will it cost to apply for a registry identification card?
This fee will be established in the administrative rules being developed by the Illinois Department of Public Health. The Department has 120 days from the effective date (January 1, 2014) to develop the rules and criteria that will apply to the patient registry. At that time (approximately May 1, 2014), these rules will be filed with the Illinois General Assembly's Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) for review and public comment.
When will the Illinois Department of Public Health begin issuing registry identification cards?
A date has not yet been determined. The effective date of the act is January 1, 2014. Before issuing registration cards, the Illinois Department of Public Health must adopt administrative rules, set registration fees, and develop the process to receive and process registrations. Any date for issuing registry identification cards will take into account the time needed to complete these tasks.
Where do I send my application for a registry identification card?
Do not send any information at this time. The Illinois Department of Public Health is currently building the necessary infrastructure to implement the law, including the development of a registration process for patients and caregivers. The Department will issue registry identification cards to patients and designated caregivers once the administrative rules for the program are adopted.
What debilitating medical conditions qualify me for medical cannabis?
Debilitating medical conditions include 40 chronic diseases and conditions: cancer, glaucoma, positive status for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), hepatitis C, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Crohn's disease, agitation of Alzheimer's disease, cachexia/wasting syndrome, muscular dystrophy, severe fibromyalgia, spinal cord disease (including but not limited to arachnoiditis), Tarlov cysts, hydromyelia syringomyelia, Rheumatoid arthritis, fibrous dysplasia, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury and post concussion syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Arnold-Chiari malformation and Syringomelia, Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA), Parkinson's Disease, Tourette Syndrome, Myoclonus, Dystonia, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, RSD (Complex Regional Pain Syndromes Type I), Causalgia, CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type II), Neurofibromatosis, Chronic inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, Sjogren's Syndrome, Lupus, Interstitial Cystitis, Myasthenia Gravis, Hydrocephalus, nail-patella syndrome or residual limb pain; or the treatment of these conditions.
What if my medical condition is not listed?
According to the act, any person may petition the Illinois Department of Public Health to add debilitating conditions or treatments to the list of conditions included in the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program. The Department will develop a process for considering the petitions, including public notice and hearing.
Where can I smoke medical cannabis?
Smoking medical cannabis is prohibited in any public place where an individual could reasonably be expected to be observed by others, in a health care facility or any other place where smoking is prohibited by the Smoke-free Illinois Act.
I am visiting Illinois and have a medical cannabis registry card from my home state. May I participate in the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program?
No. Only Illinois residents who meet the program requirements will qualify to participate in the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program.
My child has a debilitating medical condition. Can he/she apply to be a registered qualifying patient?
No. The law does not permit the Illinois Department of Public Health to issue registry identifications cards to qualifying patients under age 18.

Tourmalines' elongated, prismatic crystals dictate how the gemstones are cut, often resulting in very long, rectangular shapes. While tourmalines can be cut in all shapes and sizes, rectangular shapes predominate. Crystals often exhibit more than one colour; in such cases bi-colour or parti-colour gemstones result. On rare occasions, tourmalines are also carved

The three men were also expelled from the fraternity.
Despite the group's actions, the district attorney says, so far, the act does not appear to be criminal.
District Attorney Ben Creekmore's district includes Lafayette County.
Creekmore told Action News 5 late Friday morning that investigators and prosecutors have looked into several misdemeanors as possible charges. He said because the statue was not physically damaged, and the suspects did not appear to be trespassing, his office would likely not be in a position to bring criminal charges against the suspects.
He did add that he felt the act was despicable and that federal investigators could opt to bring charges if they saw fit.
SigEp's CEO Brian C. Warren Jr. says the incident is an embarrassment to the fraternity.
"SigEp as a national Fraternity has championed racial equality and issues on diversity since 1959 when it became the first national fraternity to invite members of all races, creeds and religions to join its membership. For this to occur in 2014 is an insult to the legacy of James Meredith, the University of Mississippi community, and the SigEp alumni who fought for racial equality in the late 1950s," he said.

High Society-------
"Have you heard about The Society?" It's a question that's been making the rounds in model-watcher circles for what seems like a year, and now The Society is no longer a secret. After a soft launch during New York fashion week, Elite Paris' New York outpost—not to be mistaken with the nonaligned Elite New York—officially debuted its Web site yesterday with an impressive roster of established faces, including Lindsey Wixson, Sigrid Agren, Cora Emmanuel, Mackenzie Drazan, and Ming Xi, as well as noteworthy newcomers such as Marine Deleeuw, Josephine Le Tutour, and Manuela Frey. The agency will also represent musicians, including Grace Jones, Oh Land, and Lily Rose Cooper (a.k.a. Lily Allen). "We've had the opportunity to be super-selective with the girls we take on rather than being so volume oriented," a representative told Style.com. "Elite understands the value of investing in a gorgeous face."
The Society hits the ground running with a huge history and network already in place, which contains the Elite Model Look competition—the largest source of new models in the world. The polished Web site, which was designed by Ezra Petronio and features Santiago & Mauricio-lensed animations of each girl in a grid format (kind of like a glam version of Hollywood Squares, no?), sets the tone for one of The Society's goals, which is "to promote original editorial content and do interesting projects that converge fashion and art," a representative said. "It's a bit different from the standard approach," which is exactly what the New York modeling industry needs right now. Based on initial impressions, The Society is poised to become a major force.

Report: Jeweler offers refunds after 'Bama win
NOV 26, 2012 4:35p ET
Dennis is a jeweler in Alabama, and this year decided to drum up some business with an unusual promotion. If either side in the Iron Bowl game between Alabama and Auburn was shut out, any customer who made a purchase at Jeff Dennis Jewelers from Nov. 16 to 23 would have their money refunded. No gimmicks, no gags, just cash.
As we now know, Auburn was dismantled by the Crimson Tide, 49-0, costing Dennis "tens of thousands of dollars," according to an interview with WIAT. Dennis said he will hand out more than 300 refunds.
He can afford to do this thanks to insurance company Lloyd's of London. Lloyd's has a habit of insuring the interesting, including Bruce Springsteen's vocal chords and Troy Polamalu's hair. They essentially took Dennis up on the prop bet and lost.
Now, Dennis is sitting pretty. In an interview with the North Jefferson News, which also delves more into the details of the deal with Lloyd's, Dennis says sales were up more than 120 percent during the time period, "more than enough to cover the premiums."
Apparently, the more Auburn lays an egg, the richer Jeff Dennis becomes.

Wollaston recruit passes Navy training
10:50am Monday 17th February 2014 in News
A WOLLASTON man has completed a gruelling 10 week training course to kick-start his Navy career.
Jan Capewell, a trainee engineer technician (weapons submariner) was put through his paces during the course at HMS Raleigh in Cornwall, with a series of physical and mental challenges.
The 25-year-old was inspired to join the Navy as his grandfather, Phillip Capewell, was part of RAF Bomber Command between 1944 and 1951.
But his achievement was tinged with sadness as his grandfather passed away during the first week of training.
Jan, who studied at Edgecliff High School, Kinver, worked as a storeman and behind a bar before embarking on his naval career, which he hopes would provide "a more secure upbringing" for his three children, Paris, aged three, Tallulih, aged two and one-year-old Pixie.
He continued: "Because of grandad I had the strength to push through what was possibly the most physically and mentally demanding period of my life to date."
Throughout training he has been engaged in team work exercises that mimic the operations that the Navy is engaged in all over the globe.
As well as the basics such as marching and fitness sessions, he has also learned how to handle an SA80 assault rifle, seamanship techniques and how to tackle floods and fires at sea.
His next port of call will be HMS Collingwood, Portsmouth, where he will begin a five month course, to learn about theNavy's weapons systems, safety procedures, electrical and electronic repair techniques and the basic of hydraulics and pneumatics.
Having chosen a career as a submariner Jan will then return to HMS Raleigh to learn how to operate beneath the waves at the Royal Navy Submarine School.

Excellent teacher. She really knew her stuff. I had to take the course, but found it enjoyable. Very approachable
Mrs. Van Cleve is a good teacher. She's never in class so thats awesome! She let us use a 3x5 card on the tests and has a few papers but you can easily make that up. You have to put in hours at the Child Development Center. She's an easy grader and shows a lot of movies. I recommend taking her class if you want an easy A!
Please DO NOT take her class! Lots of useless information, not enough useful information. If you want to learn anything from this class DO NOT take her! Class is frequently cancelled so you will end up teaching your self. Subs are last minute and usually know nothing about child development...PLEASE! Take someone else!
she is NOT a good teacher. all she does is read off notes. THAT'S IT! it's annoying to write all of those notes down; a lot of it is useless common sense information. she also doesn't show up a lot. sometimes there is a note..other times you just have to figure it out. there are better teachers!!! just take someone else!! please??!
Was gone most of the classes either had a sub or class was cancelled. Very clear with her assignments and Tells you everything on the tests. Allows notecard on the tests which YOU NEED!!
chdev 38
She is a very funny lady. I took her for my first semester at city and it was wierd because well it wasn't high school where the teachers watch what they say. She was really easy and the class was fun. There were a lot of days that class was cancel, but she had a good reason. The test are easy because seh lets you use a index card one for each part
Psy 39
Extremely funny when on her pain meds.
child dev 38
god i hated this ****ing class. it was an easy class, but jesus christ she was one weird ****. haha, like i duno she was pretty friggin weird. a lot of days she didn't show up. she dindt really care about the students very much, you can easily pass the class effortlessly.
Child Dev.
Class was easy, lets you bring a 3x5 card for notes on the tests which is helpful. Teacher is great, although when I was in her class, she seemed to be gone a lot, a lot of no cass today signs.
lifespan dev
she wasn't too bad. i didn't do well but it was my own fault.
chdev 38
Hardly come to class, which is a good thing. Teaching style is okay.
psch 69
never comes to class. gives you all the test questions indirectly. fun class projects
When I had this class, she very seldomly showed up. When she was there, she was good though.
child dev.38
the best teacher for this course. There is no homework, her testes are not that hard, she let you have one notecard for the testes and attendance counts in this class, it can improve your grade if you come to every lecture.

Poly relationships statistics from the 2011 Census
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Equality on 24 August 2012
From the 2011 England & Wales Census, it has been revealed that 39,200 relationships were edited/"corrected" due to an apparently invalid combination of relationships that would indicate a Polyamorous household.
Firstly, I'll note they only did this where there was also a marriage or civil partnership involved – I.e. a triad or V where one side of the relationship has been legally recognised, so the figures will be low. Secondly, the reason the Census office edits these figures is because they believe in the majority of cases this is probably an error by those filling in the form.
Still, the figures are potentially interesting, so lets see how they stack up.
I can not find any data on the number of relationships recorded by the Census, but we know there were 23.4 million households. To get some idea of the kind of proportion of households that have indicated a Poly relationship, lets assume a maximum of one poly family per household: that gives around 0.1%-0.2%.
I am deliberately not going to be any more accurate than that because the data I'm working from is vague at best. As well as not including families without any marriage/civil partnership involved (Pushing the number down) there may be households where a couple have not yet divorced but a new partner has moved in. (Which would push the number up)
How likely is it that much of this is an error in filling in the forms? We have no real way of knowing. But I also asked for the number of marriages/civil partnerships that were edited due to an invalid combination including gender, such as indicating a marriage between a same-sex couple. That gave 50,400 edits. There are just over 100,000 civil partnerships in the UK and I can well believe somewhere around half of respondents would be bloody-minded enough to tick "marriage" and not civil partnership. There will also be Trans issues affecting this figure, but at a low enough rate to not be significant.
The above is, of course, not statistically sound in any sense and shouldn't be used for the basis of policy or, well, anything really.
However, it's enough to indicate that there may be a non-trivial number of Poly households out there and that warrants further study. Perhaps the Office for National Statistics can be persuaded to report in more depth on the data – they are far better statisticians than I for starters – or to conduct follow-up surveys. If the number proves to be large enough, it may even justify better investigation in the 2021 census.
More on Poly and Trans erasure in the Census
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Equality, FoI Requests on 15 June 2011
Following on from my recent post on how the Office for National Statistics "corrects" peoples gender and marital status in the Census, I asked them how often this had happened in the most recent three censuses.
They don't know.
I'm finding it a little strange that the ONS would have their computers correct data in this way and not track how often it is occurring. The ONS previously claimed that "…the majority of respondents recording themselves as being in a polygamous relationship in a UK census do so erroneously, for example, ticking the wrong box for one household member on the relationships question." Given that they do not track any information on such responses, their "recognition" that such relationships don't exist may boil down to "Well, nobody who works here is in such a relationship, so they can't possibly exist".
(The answer they provided makes reference to impudation, but it's a generic measure tracking overall error rates in the census, based on a more detailed follow up survey to check the results. It does not appear particularly relevant to the question.)
Yes, there's also a follow up FoI request I have just submitted, asking what other corrections are made and how they are justified.
Free sex change and relationship breakup, thanks to the census
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Equality, FoI Requests on 13 May 2011
It appears that the Office for National Statistics, when reporting on census data, will simply get their computer try to guess at what people intended.
If you're a gay man and ticked the married box then the Office for National Statistics will ensure the "mismatch is… resolved using a probabilistic statistical system [to] alter one or more variables to make the response consistent". And yes, they specifically state this could result in the system "changing the sex of one individual".
This completely ignores the fact that married – not just Civil Partnered – couples of the same sex are entirely valid. Perhaps it's a foreign marriage, or you're Trans and married but don't have a GRC for any of a whole host of reasons?
Oh, and they might divorce you anyway: If you indicate multiple relationships (A Poly household for example) they'll just pick one to ensure everyone is in nice neat couples for their system. I guess anything else would just be Too Complicated for the statisticians.
I've submitted a followup FoI request to find out how common this has been in previous years. (Although previous years will not have had Civil Partner as an option)
Lies, damned lies and statistics?
Poly and trans folk and the Census
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Equality, FoI Requests on 28 March 2011
I rather suspect that for both these categories, the demographic is so vanishingly small that it will disappear into the noise, but having filled in the Census last night I was interested in how some of the data is processed, so I fired off a Freedom of Information request.
Firstly, poly households:
1a) If a household consists of a polygamous relationship, will the data be accepted by the Census system? For example, if P1 and P2 are married or in a civil partnership and P3 indicates they are a partner of both P1 and P2, is this considered a valid response or will the "partner" response be ignored and not entered?
1b) If the data will be accepted and entered into the census computer systems, will it be either reported on or (In summary form) available via an FoI request?
In short: Will you be able to answer the question "How many poly households are there in the UK?" I doubt many people will accurately answer the question so the ONS figures won't mean much. However, I don't know if there have been any previous surveys in this area. (If anyone is aware of any, let me know!)
Having just started to read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I do wonder if there are more people quietly getting on with their lives in such relationships than is usually reported on. Even more so than Trans issues, there doesn't seem to be much of a poly community because stable poly relationships tend not to be the kind of thing one can really seek out. They just kind of happen and people are either open to being poly or not.
Someone is bound to disagree with me on the previous paragraph so I'll caveat it now: In my own opinion, of course.
(Our census has been done on paper. Does anyone know if the online version restricts your answers at all and would not allow the response I've described above?)
Secondly question:
2) If there is an apparent mismatch between the indicated sex and marital status of individuals, how will this be entered into the system and handled? For example, if two individuals indicate sex as female but also indicate they are married, will this be entered into the census system as a marriage or as a same-sex civil partnership?
Translation: How many people are so militantly pro-equal-marriage that they'll tick "married" despite technically being civil partnered. (And Vice-Versa, but I guess that's a smaller group) There will also be people who have transitioned but have not received a GRC as they do not wish to divorce or are unable to obtain a GRC for any of the myriad other reasons, but there is no way of distinguishing between these two groups from census return data.
I expect to be disappointed with the response – I generally am with FoI requests like this – but they are potentially interesting topics if something useful does come of it.
A most bizarre census campaign from Stonewall
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Equality on 25 March 2011
Stonewall do seem to struggle when figuring out which campaigns to support, don't they?
No, they haven't failed to support one this time. Instead they've decided to jump on last decades Jedi bandwagon by asking people to list their religion as "Lesbian". This is a really bad idea for two reasons.
Firstly, putting any religion in there will mark you down as religious, no matter how silly it is. It's far better, as the Census Campaign have been urging people to do, to tick "No Religion". And secondly, the reason for the Census Campaign in the first place is that previous censuses have returned bad data – and the ONS survey results suggest that a census sexuality question would fare no better.
Yes, this is a bad enough idea that Amy Lame, who had the original idea, changed her mind about it.
Why I'm glad the Census doesn't ask me about my sexuality
Posted by Zoe O'Connell in Equality on 18 March 2011
I've seen a few people around the place wonder why the census does not ask about sexuality or transgender status. I, for one, am glad it does not. You're probably all aware of the Census Campaign, encouraging people to tick the "No religion" in response to the optional question on religion.
Religion is, compared to sexuality or transgender status, usually (But not always) a less controversial topic. Some may recall the ONS study, "revealing" that only 1.5% of people are gay/bisexual. That was with some careful work done to ensure that others could not overhear the answers being given. Despite that, it came out with a surprisingly low figure with a significant number of unknowns/won't says.
In comparison, the census is relatively public and can be seen by other members of the household. Yes, you could request an individual questionnaire but if someone really fears being out to their housemates that much, are they really going to risk revealing they have something to hide? Simple human nature – procrastination – will mean they probably can't be bothered anyway. They're just go for the easy option and tick heterosexual.
We can't expect everyone to be an activist.
And that's without even considering the problem of identity. How many people have had a same-sex relationship, but regard themselves as heterosexual because they are now in an opposite-sex marriage? Or started out "straight" before having a couple of gay relationships, so would tend to go for "gay" over "bisexual". Or just don't know yet.
We do not need another ONS-type result claiming there are fewer LGBT people in the UK than there really are. Officials would base their funding allocations on these numbers and there will be less available in the way of LGBT resources, in much the same way as the skewed religion result causes problems.
Inaccurate data is worse than no data.

Ninety prisoners on the run from Sussex jail
Updated 10:38am Friday 13th June 2014 in News
Ninety prisoners are on the run from an open jail, including some who have been missing for years, it has been revealed.
HMP Ford near Arundel has been at the centre of a number of high-profile cases recently.
This week it emerged that a public appeal by Sussex Police to help trace murderer Robert Donovan, 57, had only been made four years after he walked out from Ford.
The disclosure that 90 Ford inmates are at large comes as it emerged that violent robber Simon Rhodes-Butler, 37, handed himself into police last night after fleeing from the jail last month.
And in another case, it was revealed last night that an armed robber serving a life sentence has become the latest criminal to go on the run from HMP Ford.
David Blood, 48, who police said may pose a threat to the public, absconded from the Category D prison some time between 8.30am and 1pm yesterday.
It is thought to be the second time he has absconded from an open prison after going missing from HMP Sudbury in Derbyshire in April 2012.
Conservative MP, Nick Gibb, for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, has raised concern at the number of inmates convicted of serious offences going missing from HMP Ford.
He said: "I'm worried about how prisoners are chosen to be sent to Ford open prison, and that too many are absconding.
"The theory is that these are prisoners who are coming to the end of their sentences and therefore should no longer be at risk of absconding.
"The risk assessment of prisoners who are being sent to Ford open prison is clearly not vigorous enough."
Sussex Police said the average number of prisoners who have absconded from HMPFord in recent years stands at 23 annually, but that currently 90 are at large.
A police statement said they found in November that there were a number of missing inmates whose cases were not being reviewed regularly.
It said: "A dedicated team was set up to review each of those cases to try to identify lines of inquiry that we could follow to try to track the absconders down.
"Each of the absconders was registered on the Police National Computer as being missing so if they had been arrested for any offences in Britain they would have been returned to custody and we would have been notified.
"The new team is making inquiries with other forces both locally and internationally, speaking to Government agencies to look for evidence of where they have lived and following up sightings or other information passed to us as a result of their reviews of the files.
"Our intelligence-led investigations are aimed at returning the person to the prison system as quickly as possible and in some cases this can be within hours.
"We risk assess and prioritise our investigations accordingly following close liaison with local officers and the prison.
"Since the team was set up in November, a total of 23 absconders from Ford have been located and arrested.
"We decided to make a public appeal for Robert Donovan as although we had no information that he was an immediate danger to the public, his original crime was so serious that it was important for him to be returned to custody as a priority.
"In recent years an average of 23 prisoners have absconded from Ford annually. There are currently 90 people missing from Ford.
"Some have been missing for a matter of weeks but others have been missing for a number of years. We are focused on returning each and every one of those people to prison."
The Ministry of Justice said Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has ordered major changes to tighten up temporary release processes and open prison eligibility.
It was the case of "Skullcracker" Michael Wheatley which prompted ministers to launch a major review of the case, including a broader assessment of the release on temporary licence (ROTL) process.
He was jailed for life for a raid on a building society while on the run from HMP Standford Hill in Kent, the second time he has been jailed for holding up the same branch.
Most recent Ministry of Justice figures show there were 1,242 indeterminate sentenced prisoners - that is, those serving life and imprisonment for public protection sentences (IPP) - as at December 31 last year. This includes 643 lifers and 599 IPP inmates in open prisons.

Hang on- if someone absconds or breaks the rules at an open prison, they are sent back to a Category C or above prison to complete their sentence. They are NEVER sent to an open prison again under any circumstances. This is a hard and fast rule- how come this guy was allowed bo break it? THERE is something for the Argus to investigate, rather than picking up stories of the BBC News website...

Some people have seemed to under appreciate and even undervalue "23yrs old proven top 6 checking forward" Kyle Okposo's offensive prowess and overall game from my view lately. So I just wanted to set the record straight. And honestly, if it comes down to it, Okposo could fill in for 75%-90% of PAP's production if throw into the PAP role from where he is now.
I still think PAP is a top 60/50 playmaking forward in the NHL though, I just don't believe losing him would hurt as a lot of people make it out to be. And I think that may be because people underestimate or undervalue what Okposo is and has done so far:
Okposo is proved already that he is a good and capable top 6 checking forward, okposo's defensive abilities/game are solid, but I think people truly undervalue his offensive abilities. He's been used as a checker and sub-50% o-zone start forward his whole career till this year, and even this year with PAP's promotion back to the 1st line he won't finish with above 50% o-zone starts unless PAP is traded or hurt(knock on wood).
In Okposo's 1st full season at the age of 21, and against top 6 pairing competition, he netted 19goals and 52pts while getting top unit PP mins and middle of the team o-zone starts(not being used as an offensive forward at 5-on-5) and while struggling with his shooting percentage. And this is the year where Okposo finished 2nd on the team in scoring, while splitting half the season with JT/MM both in their rookie years, and Bailey/Nielsen. So it's not like he was playing with young JT/MM full time, but he was also used defensively with Nielsen/Bailey. Pretty impressive if you ask me, even more so when Okposo came out heavily on top in corsi stats that year.
After that, the shoulder injury slowed his development, but none the less young Okposo still seemed to be able to put up good corsi numbers and solid offensive stats for a guy that has been used in a checking role and in 2nd PP unit ice time. Struggling with his shot last season and early this season, and he was still a full-season simulated 40pts+ guy last year and a 45pts+ guy this year. Not bad for a "checking" forward, especially given the circumstances and "rehab" from the injury.
And let's not forget, Okposo was a 7th overall pick for a reason. He is a 2-way forward with solid offensive upside. I know juniors/college isn't the NHL, but he has been a solid goalscorer and pt producer in all the non-professional hockey leagues he's been. In high school he potted 47goals in his final season there, in his rookie USHL year he netted 27goals, and in his rookie college year he netted 19goals, good enough for almost 1goal every 2gms. In non-professional hockey, Okposo has been a guy that's scored around a goal every 2gms, nhl equivalent of a 40goal scorer (which I don't think he is). So he certainly has goalscoring potential, just likely 20-25goal/yr potential, not elite goalscoring potential. Even this year, his shooting percentage is up and without top line o-zone faceoffs and while only playing a chunk of games on the JT line and on a minimally producing 2nd unit PP he is on the verge of a 19goal season. Pretty impressive given the criticism he's face, 15game/18% of the season goalless slump to start the season, and situation he's been playing/used in thus far.
Maybe I just have a lot more faith in Okposo filling PAP's role out well offensively(not completely) and that we can fill in Okposo's checking line role from within soon(nelson/cizikas/ullstrom maybe). But given numbers and age, I feel I am thinking pretty logical now and damage control if PAP is gone is far from a disaster. I really think people overestimate his loss. Would losing a player like PAP hurt? Yes, but not nearly as much as his numbers this year would suggest. And that's the reason I made a giant fanpost on the subject. And all this is because Okposo is a lot better of a player than people give him credit for, especially given what he's done and proven at such a young age already.
Even though it might not look like it at point blank or "with the eye test" some people use, advanced stats and running numbers says Okposo can fill-in on the PAP role extremely well, especially given the proof I listed in the PAP fanpost I put up. Okposo can truly fill-in for PAP very well in his role, and finding another checker to fill-in for Okposo and deeper if we have other within-team upgrades isn't something that hard to do. And without even equating Nino's or Strome's or any other rookie's offensive prowess added to the equation, we should be pretty well off damage control wise if PAP is traded or lost at free agency. So please, don't under appreciate what we have in Okposo. He may not be as shiny as Moulson or JT or Grabner, but he is still a solid top 6 forward, and young offensively and defensively capable one at that.
