Former Premier League striker Christian Benitez dies suddenly of suspected heart attack aged 27
- Ecuadorian FA say he died of heart failure after suffering 'stomach pains'
- The Ecuadorian had only completed a £10m switch to Qatari side El Jaish
- He made 36 appearances on loan at Birmingham City in 2009/10 season
- Twitter comes alive with tributes from footballers who called him 'Chucho'
- Manchester United's Antonia Valencia led the tributes to his compatriot
Former Birmingham City striker Christian Benitez has tragically died of suspected heart failure at the age of 27.
The Ecuador international's death comes just a few weeks after his £10million switch to Qatari side El Jaish from Mexican team Club America.
footballers across the world took to Twitter to voice their grief at
news of his death, the Ecuadorian Football Federation revealed he was
rushed to hospital yesterday with 'severe stomach pain' before he died
from a heart attack.

'Forever you'll be my brother, this pain hurts so much but brother we love you': Manchester United winger Antonia Valencia led the tributes to his compatriot on Twitter
In a statement on its website, the EFA said: '[Benitez] had severe stomach pain and was rushed to a hospital where, after a few hours, suffered cardio-respiratory arrest, which ended his life.'
They added: 'The Ecuadorian Football Federation extends its heartfelt note of sympathy to the family members, parents, wife, children and friends of our striker Cristian Benitez.'

El Jaish also released a statement confirming the news. It said: 'The club would like to offer its sincere condolences to the family of the player.
'Benitez had recently joined the club from Club America for three seasons.
'The player participated for the first time with the team during yesterday's match against Qatar Sports Club in the Sheikh Jassem Cup without complaining of any health problems.
'His sudden departure is a big shock for each member of the technical and administrative staff.
'He was a player that over the short period he was here was regarded for his high moral character.'
A tweet from Club America read: 'You left as a champion, you will always be in our hearts. Rest in Peace Christian Benitez.'
He was diagnosed with appendicitis, but - according to his father-in-law Cleber Chala - this developed into peritonitis and complications led to a respiratory arrest.
Mr Chala, who spoke on Ecuadorian radio and cited by The Mirror, said: 'They called me at 3am to tell me that they had taken him to hospital as an emergency due to stomach pains.
'When he arrived, he was not seen to quickly.
'By the time he was admitted he was no longer responding. This happened in Qatar, my daughter is alone there.'
Benitez, nicknamed 'Chucho', was on loan at St. Andrew's for the 2009-10 season, making 36 appearances for the Blues. He won 58 caps for Ecuador, including appearances at the 2006 World Cup.
Manchester United winger Antonia Valencia led the tributes to his compatriot. Valencia took to Twitter to pay his respects, including posting a touching photo of the pair together.
As tributes for Benitez from around the game began to pour in, it became clear that the striker had an impact on team-mates during his short time in Birmingham.
Former Blues star Craig Gardner, who now plays for Sunderland, took to his Twitter account to register his condolences, posting: 'Can't believe Christian Benitez aka chucho has died had the pleasure to play with him he was a top bloke. My thoughts go out to his family.'

The club also tweeted, saying: 'RIP Christian 'Chucho' Benitez. Forever in our hearts.
'The thoughts of all at Birmingham City Football Club are with the friends and family of Chucho following this very sad news. #RIP'
The midlands side also revealed plans to commemorate Benitez in their opening Championship game at home to Watford.
Monaco's £52million star signing Falcao also posted his condolences in Spanish.
Former Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba, who almost died on the pitch.
Football has been blighted by heart conditions hitting seemingly healthy young players.
Fabrice Muamba, 25, was forced to retire from the game after collapsing on the pitch from a cardiac arrest in March last year at Tottenham's White Hart Lane ground.
The former England Under-21 midfielder was effectively dead for 78 minutes when his heart stopped beating during an FA Cup match for Bolton at Tottenham.
Just a month later an Italian footballer collapsed on the pitch and died from a heart attack in front of horrified teammates and supporters.
Former under 21 international Piermario Morosini, 25, who played for Livorno, was seen to tremble before falling to his knees and never regained consciousness.
The heart defect that most commonly kills young athletes is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
There are a number of congenital heart defects that can hit sportsmen. The one which most commonly kills young athletes is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
A genetic defect, it causes part of the heart muscle to thicken in about one in 500 people. It is most serious in the young and is exacerbated by exercise.
In some countries, such as Italy, screening for this condition is mandatory for footballers and sufferers are not allowed to play. But in Britain it is up to individual clubs.
Other, less common possible causes of sudden cardiac arrest include ARVD, another disorder of the heart muscle which causes part of it to turn to fat; faults with the heart's electrical impulses; irregular rhythms; or defective heart valves.
The FA has made more than 900 defibrillators available to Premier League and Football League clubs.

COACH AND PROGRAMTipoff at Northwestern State the last few years meant three things. First, everybody wearing purple and white had better be ready to play, because Mike McConathy is known for spreading the minutes around and getting everybody but the athletic trainer in the boxscore. Second, there would be a Hancock on the roster. Last season, the team's second-leading scorer was the third Hancock brother to play in Natchitoches, La.

`King Of Gospel' James Cleveland
LOS ANGELES - Gospel great the Rev. James Cleveland, who helped teach Aretha Franklin how to sing and returned choirs to the forefront of gospel music, has died. He was 59.
The three-time Grammy winner died Saturday at Brotman Medical Center, where he was admitted Thursday with respiratory problems.
The Rev. Marvin Winan, leader of The Winans, said the Rev. Cleveland reigned as the ``king of gospel'' and inspired numerous performers.
``He was not to me a great vocalist, but he was a great interpreter,'' Winan said. ``James could make you see the song.''
The Rev. Cleveland, a Baptist minister, pianist, composer, arranger and producer, often called his baritone voice a fog horn. He wrote or arranged more than 400 gospel songs, including ``Everything Will Be All Right,'' ``The Love of God'' and ``Peace Be Still.''
The Rev. Cleveland was born Dec. 5, 1931, and grew up on the South Side of Chicago. Later, he moved into the home of the Rev. C.L. Franklin, father of soul legend Aretha Franklin. He taught the 9-year-old Aretha how to sing gospel and later produced her Grammy-winning album, ``Amazing Grace.''
``Cleveland was a choir man,'' Winan said, noting that early gospel music began with choirs and was advanced by singers such as Mahalia Jackson.
The Rev. Cleveland helped return choirs to the forefront of gospel music, Winan said.
Sixteen of Rev. Cleveland's albums went gold, and he was the first gospel artist to receive a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. In addition to Aretha Franklin, he worked with Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight and Edwin Hawkins.

Movie review
'World on a Wire' weaves it own fake reality
A movie review of "World on a Wire," director Rainer Werner Fassbinder's lengthy, often fascinating 1973 adaptation of Daniel Galouye's 1964 novel about a simulated existence that's making its Seattle debut at Northwest Film Forum.
Special to The Seattle Times
'World on a Wire,' with Klaus Löwitsch, Ingrid Caven, Eddie Constantine, Christine Kaufmann. Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, from a screenplay by Fassbinder and Fritz Müller-Scherz, based on a novel by Daniel Galouye. 205 minutes. Not rated; for mature audiences (contains violence, brief nudity). In German, with English subtitles. Northwest Film Forum.
Decades before "The Matrix," "Avatar," "eXistenz" and their spinoffs appeared in multiplexes, Rainer Werner Fassbinder directed this lengthy adaptation of Daniel Galouye's 1964 science-fiction novel about a simulated existence, "Simulacron-3."
The similarities are fascinating. The differences are even more so. While 1999's "The Matrix" is dominated by innovative special effects, Fassbinder's 1973 thriller, "World on a Wire," is a film of ideas.
Thanks to the Fassbinder Foundation's excellent 35mm restoration (supervised by Michael Ballhaus, the original cinematographer), the Fassbinder movie is making its Seattle debut this weekend at Northwest Film Forum. Long unavailable, it starts slowly, then develops an irresistible momentum.
In "The Matrix" and its sequels, Keanu Reeves plays a hacker who discovers that he's living in an intricate illusion managed by computers. In Fassbinder's film, Klaus Löwitsch is Fred Stiller, a hunky cybernetics engineer who makes a similar discovery.
One of the few Fassbinder actors who had some success in American films ("Firefox," "Gotcha"), Löwitsch plays Stiller as a James Bond type. He radiates European machismo and even looks a bit like Sean Connery.
Very much a film of its time, "World on a Wire" was originally shown as a two-part West German television movie. The melodramatic tone, the outlandish makeup and eclectic use of music (from Wagner to Elvis) sometimes verge on tongue-in-cheek.
What distinguishes it today is its exploration of the idea that a threatening alternative world could create thousands of "identity units" and be capable of predicting the future. Fassbinder was especially drawn to the notion that, in his words, "its inhabitants cannot be aware of their true nature."

Hong Kong resists destruction of illicit ivory as seizures swell its well-guarded cache
HONG KONG - When Hong Kong intercepted yet another huge shipment of illegal African ivory in early October, it added to a growing headache for authorities: What exactly do you do with one of the world's biggest stockpiles of elephant tusks?
Government warehouses in the former British colony are holding more than 30 metric tons of ivory seized since 2008, as customs agents intercept a surging amount of endangered animal products being smuggled to mainland China to meet demand from the country's newly wealthy.
The latest shipment, 189 tusks worth $1.5 million hidden in soybean sacks in a shipping container, was one of four major busts this year.
Ivory is known as "white gold" because of the rich prices it commands on the black market. Hong Kong has put values of between $1,000 and $2,000 a kilogram on ivory it seized this year. A 2011 report by the International Fund for Animal Welfare said buyers in China were paying up to $2,400 a kilogram.
Conservation groups, worried the ivory pile presents a target for theft and fails to send a signal that Hong Kong is serious about cracking down on the trade, urge the government to destroy it. Authorities are resisting, instead preferring to dole out small amounts to schools to raise conservation awareness.
"As long as that ivory is kept anywhere, it will always be a temptation for people to get their hands on it," said Grace Ge Gabriel, the fund's regional director.
IFAW and 15 other animal welfare and conservation groups wrote to Hong Kong's leader and customs commissioner after the October seizure, urging them to follow the example of countries that destroy confiscated ivory.
Because the ivory trade is illegal, its size worldwide is hard to pin down. Samuel K. Wasser, director of the Center for Conservation Biology at the University of Washington, calculated it was worth $264 million from 2000-2010. He said the amount now is likely to be far higher based on the soaring amount confiscated globally.
IFAW estimates 35,000 elephants a year are killed by poachers for ivory, risking extinction of the animal in the wild.
Demand is fuelled by China's booming economy, which has created a vast middle class with the ability to buy ivory carvings prized as status symbols.
"The Chinese market remains the paramount destination for illicit ivory," according to a report this year by the U.N., the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species and wildlife trade monitoring network TRAFFIC. It said China's involvement has been growing since 1996 despite "increasing levels of law enforcement."
In their letter, the groups pointed to "high profile ivory destruction measures" over the years. Kenya held the world's first large ivory bonfire in 1989, torching 12 tons in an event that drew international attention and helped lead to a global ban the following year on ivory sales between countries. Zambia set fire to 9.5 tons in 1992 and Gabon burned nearly 5 tons in 2012.
In June, the Philippines became the first Asian country to destroy its stocks when it burned and crushed more than 5 tons of ivory worth an estimated $10 million confiscated since 2009. The United States last week destroyed more than 6 tons of ivory tusks, carvings and jewelry seized over 25 years and urged other nations to follow suit.
Hong Kong's stockpile is several times bigger. Destroying it would be a mammoth task. The government won't disclose the exact amount, though says the bulk of it is made up of 32.6 tons seized since 2003, with amounts rising sharply in recent years. Some 7.2 tons have been confiscated so far in 2013, double the amount in 2011.
Other busts this year include $5.3 million in ivory, rhino horns and leopard skins from Nigeria in August; $2.2 million of ivory from Togo in July; and a $1.4 million shipment from Kenya in January.
"It's a financial burden on a country to keep such a stockpile," said Gabriel, adding that ivory has been stolen from stockpiles in other countries.
Last year, thefts were reported at government vaults in Zambia and Botswana. In 2006, 3.7 tons vanished from the Philippine inventory.
Government officials say the Hong Kong stockpile is monitored by CCTV and security guards, but won't reveal its location for security reasons.
Members of a committee advising the government on endangered species are opposed to the destruction. According to minutes of a meeting last year, they worried it would be seen as wasteful and believed the best option was to donate small amounts to schools. The government says its "exploring destruction" and will consult the committee when it has a concrete proposal.
"Education plays a vital role for the seized ivory. Usually, we send the ivory to schools for showcasing and educational events," said Azaria Wong, a conservation department officer. "We hope the children can feel the importance of preservation of endangered species."
Schoolgirl Lucy Skrine, 11, disagrees. She and a friend have started an online petition calling for the government to destroy the stockpile.
She says giving it to schools so they can put it in a display case with an explanatory note is not very effective unless it's accompanied by an education campaign. She said friends at another school that has received donated ivory report that "students are just passing by and admiring the ivory."

Friday Five: Bob Dylan Covers
Bob Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman on this date in 1941. Narrowing down the thousands of Dylan covers that have been recorded over the past fifty years down to just five songs for this week's post was no easy task. In fact, this easily could have been a Friday 500–and your favorite probably still wouldn't be on the list–so we compiled a few more favorites in the Spotify playlist below. What's your favorite Dylan cover?
5. Neko Case – "Buckets of Rain"
Case often covers this song from Blood on the Tracks during her shows. Or, at least the shows I've been to. Perhaps it's sacrilege, but I like her vocal on this song better than Dylan's.
4. Garth Brooks – "Make You Feel My Love"
Brooks' version of the song topped the country charts and earned him a Grammy nomination.
3. Rosanne Cash – "Girl From the North Country"
Johnny Cash sang this song with Dylan on the Nashville Skyline album; 40 years later, his daughter recorded it for The List.
2. Tim O'Brien – "Forever Young"
O'Brien's Red on Blonde is a damn fine record. This song is one of the highlights.
1. The Band – "I Shall Be Released"
Hands down, my favorite Dylan song, no matter who's singing it.
17 Comments
There are many choice Dylan covers out there, but my picks of the bunch would be The Byrds take on You Ain't Goin' Nowhere and the Hendrix version of All Along the Watchtower.
Also, Buddy Miller's great rendition of With God On Our Side from his gospel record is up there.
I've always liked Dixie Chicks version of "Mississippi," which they released on their live album.
There are so many terrific ones to choose from but with the classics by The Band and Hendrix already mentioned, I'll go with Emmylou's cover of "Every Grain of Sand."
Now, I'll tell you what, you missed one of the very best, which is the Country Gentlemen's version of "Walking Down The Line." The studio one seems not to be available on Amazon, but the live one is here:
And then there's this, from Tony Rice:
Come on, now!
Good call on "Ring Them Bells," though.
How about The Seldom Scene's "Boots of Spanish Leather"? That one is mighty hard to beat. One of my favorite Scene recordings.
Haha. I see it in the playlist now.
Buddy Miller – With God On Our Side
Some other must-haves include
Tony Rice's jazzy "Sweetheart Like You" (one of his performances on Me & My Guitar)
Jerry Lee Lewis' rockin' "Rita May"
The Earl Scruggs Revue ft Johnny Cash, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and The New Riders of the Purple Sage doing "Song for Woody"
Happy to see the Randy Travis and Sara Jarosz covers, but another fave is Rodney Crowell/Emmylou Harris, "Shelter from the Storm."
For Dylan covers with impact, nothing surpasses the Byrds' "Mr. Tambourine Man."
As far as obscure ones, I happened to like Bobby Bare doing "Blowin In the Wind."
Ummm? "For impact, nothing surpasses The Byrd's cover of "Mr. Tamborine Man?"" How about Peter, Paul and Mary singing "Blowin' in the Wind" right before Martin Luther King delivered his "I Have a Dream Speech" during the 1963 March on Washington?
Other favorites:
Nina Simone "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues"
Odetta "Walkin' Down The Line"
Tracy Chapman "The Times They Are A-Changin'"
Chris Smither w/Bonnie Raitt "Desolation Row"
Jimmy LaFave "If Not For You"
Steve Earle and Greg Trooper "I'll Keep It With Mine"
Shelby Lynne "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright"
Old Crow Medicine Show "Wagon Wheel"
Gillian Welch and David Rawlings "Billy"
Cowboy Junkies "License To Kill"
Speaking of Chris Smither, he did a nice version of Visions of Johanna.
Other favorites:
Neville Brothers – The Ballad of Hollis Brown
Vic Chesnutt – I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine
Jerry Garcia & David Grisman – The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest
The Band – Blind Willie McTell
Susan Tedeschi – Don't Think Twice, It's Alright and Lord Protect My Child
Joan Osborne – The Man in the Long Black Coat
Shawn Colvin – You're Going to Make Me Lonesome When You Go
Robyn Hitchcock – Trying to Get to Heaven
Duke Robillard – Love Sick
Tim O'Brien – Senor (Tales of Yankee Power)
Nanci Griffith – Boots of Spanish Leather
I guess my favorite would be George Hamilton IV's version of "Forever Young" and The Byrd's cover of Mr. Tambourine Man"
Also doesn't "Wagon Wheel" by Jeremy McComb or Darius Rucker)count as a Dylon cover ??
That's another big one.
Wow! Great topic! Just by typing Dylan in my itunes then sorting by most plays….
1. "Maggie's Farm" – Stephen Malkmus & The Million Dollar Bashers (I'm Not There Soundtrack). My dog's name is Maggie and we dance to this song once a week.
2. Mississippi – Sheryl Crow (The Global Sessions) Recorded before Dylan and before the Dixie Chicks included it on their Fly Tour setlist, way back when Sheryl Crow was a reputable artist.
3. Wagon Wheel – Old Crow Medicine Show (O.C.M.S.)
4. One Too Many Mornings – Johnny Cash and the Avett Brothers (Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International)
5. Senor (Tales of Yankee Power) – Willie Nelson feat Calexico (I'm Not There Soundtrack)

Who wouldn't you tell if you won Powerball?
Many Christmas shoppers in New Hampshire added Powerball tickets to their list as the jackpot soared to an estimated $325 million Saturday. We took to the streets to ask Granite Staters: If you won the jackpot, who wouldn't you tell? NBC News reported early this morning that no one won the estimate $325 million jackpot Saturday, pushing Wednesday's draw to $425 million. Saturday's winning numbers, by the way, were 22-32-37-44-50, Powerball 34.
"I think that for the first four or five months I wouldn't tell anybody because I wouldn't want anybody to bother me for money. I just want to take care of my close friends, family and loved ones."
— Bob Grimard of Manchester
"My first wife."
— Bob Donnelly Sr. of New Hampton, who said he would spread the wealth among his grandchildren
"I wouldn't want to go public. If I could, I'd get a lawyer and have them go get the tickets if they can do it ... I'm not sure if you can do that or not."
— Jim Tagalakis of Manchester
"The public. I would keep it anonymous as much as I can."
— Peter Persijn of Manchester
"If I won, I wouldn't tell anyone for quite a while. With this kind of money, you need to do your homework. I definitely wouldn't sign the ticket right away because I might want to put it in a trust."
— John Zybert of Manchester
"I have three children. I would tell them, because they would definitely benefit. I would be quiet about it until I figured out how much I actually won."
— Audrey Dunn of Manchester
"I'd shout it from the rooftops and tell everyone. I know who my true and real friends are, trust me on that one. And I'd rent a limo or two and take all my baseball friends to Yankee Stadium. Even Red Sox fans so they could see what a real winning team and stadium looked like."
— Donna Ramsey of Manchester
"I can't think of anyone that I would tell, other than family and my lawyer. I'd want to keep a low profile. I'd make sure the extended family is taken care of."
— Jack Farnum of Manchester
"I wouldn't tell my father's other daughter. I'm buying $5 and that's it, I think. I'd try not to tell anyone."
— Pamy McClay of Manchester

DC Shoes Debuts Subaru Rally Team USA Gear and Apparel
By Press Release
DC Shoes
(May 2, 2008)
Subaru of America, Inc. and DC Shoes are proud to announce a new partnership that will bring Subaru Rally Team USA (SRT USA) gear for sale to the consumer public. The partnership in creating the official SRT USA Gear program will establish DC Shoes as supplier for Subaru Rally Team USA and SRT USA-branded consumer gear plus apparel. DC Shoes, known worldwide for their performance skateboarding shoes and skate/snow apparel has been a major sponsor of Subaru Rally Team USA and both team drivers, Travis Pastrana and Ken Block, since 2005.
For the very first time, the same apparel that DC Shoes supplies to SRT USA will now be selectively available for sale to the public and will include shirts, jackets, hooded sweatshirts and shoes. The apparel line will also offer exclusive items inspired by SRT USA drivers Travis Pastrana and Ken Block.
"With the growing notoriety of our rally team, it became increasingly apparent that a market demand exists for consumer-accessible team gear and even a separate line of Travis and Ken branded apparel under the SRT USA umbrella," cites James Han of Subaru of America, Inc. "Considering DC Shoes' sponsorship commitment to Subaru Rally Team USA along with their strong reputation for quality and producing desirable apparel, partnering with them on this program was a natural fit."
"We are excited about this new partnership with Subaru and the rally team," said Nick Adcock DC President. "The team and products are very popular, and it's great that fans now have the opportunity to buy this authentic DC/Subaru rally gear that was formerly exclusive. Our goal is to make this some of the most innovative gear and merchandise in the market, while reflecting DC's authentic style and commitment to quality and function."
SRT USA Gear will be sold through Subaru dealerships across the USA as well as through DC Shoes' online store. Initial roll-out of the apparel line will feature t-shirts that are available immediately, with additional items scheduled to debut the summer of 2008 to coincide with X Games 14. Go to

Excellent picture quality, well thought-out features and distinctive design make the Vizio M-Series seem like a much more expensive TV than it really is.
The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets.
Despite great contrast and a market-busting price, the Vizio P series has too many picture quality flaws to claim the Holy Grail of 4K TV value.
If you're looking for an all-around solid Chrome OS experience -- with one of the best screens we've seen on a Chromebook -- the Toshiba Chromebook 2 should be your starting point.
While it's a bit overpriced, the Beats Powerbeats 2 Wireless is among the best wireless sports earphones.
Grab a Star Wars gingerbread cookie from this R2-D2 treat jar and be rewarded with beeping carols of "Jingle Bells," "Deck the Halls" and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."
What happens when you play a parakeet a bunch of robot noises on repeat? A magnificent R2-D2 budgie, that's what.
It's the latest from Google and Apple going head-to-head in a big screen tablet battle. Who will be crowned King of the Prizefight Ring?
If you need lots of extra storage space in a compact package, the LaCie D2 Thunderbolt 2 is a great accessory for your Thunderbolt 2-enabled Macs.
Professionals who need a powerful storage device for data-intensive tasks will find that the G-Tech G-Speed Studio R Thunderbolt 2 is an excellent investment.

- Oh, Florida May 10
Let's face it: We all should have seen this coming.
Chaz Stevens, wonderfully described by NPR as a Florida "rabble-rouser," wants the city of Deerfield Beach to let him say a satanist prayer at the beginning of a council meeting. Stevens' request follows the Supreme Court's decision to uphold sectarian prayer at town meetings this week.
"If the Supreme Court wants to open up the door to this, Satan and I will walk through," Stevens told NPR in a phone interview, adding that he had only recently converted to Satanism, but that his proposal was really just "an extreme gag that draws attention at the greying of the separation of church and state."
Lest Deerfield Beach's council be hesitant about allowing Stevens to speak, he offered an example of a possible prayer in his letter to the city commissioners: "O mighty Lord Satan, / teach us to become strong and wise! / Teach us to vanquish the enemies / of our freedom and well-being!"
Considering this is the same man who successfully set up a Festivus pole made of empty beer cans in the rotunda of the Florida state Capitol building, Deerfield Beach should probably be glad he just wants to say a few words before a meeting.- -

Illinois Curb on State Workforce Union Growth FailsSPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - A two-year-old measure to curb union growth among Illinois state employees has failed in the Senate.
The legislation would have excluded some workers from joining collective-bargaining units but lost 21-29. Sponsoring Senate President John Cullerton says that without the bill the workforce would become nearly entirely unionized. It got House approval in May 2011 after Gov. Pat Quinn he didn't have enough bosses to run the government.
An Associated Press analysis in 2011 showed that in the previous eight years more than 10,000 state workers had joined unions - more than four times the number in the eight years before that. Democrats blamed now-imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. They say he fomented the union spirit of thousands of middle-level managers.
The bill is HB1556. More information is online: http://www.ilga.gov

The Inbounds: Dwight Howard and the NBA's arms race gone too far
Aug 10, 2012, 9:00 AM EST
"Weapons are like money, no one knows the meaning of enough." – Martin Amis In 2008, it was the Celtics getting both an aging Kevin Garnett and an aging Ray Allen. Then it was the Lakers getting Pau Gasol, commonly a sub-star due to his market at the time. Then came The Decision, Melodrama, the…

Welcome to the Inbounds, touching on one big idea, story, or discussion point of the day. It's fine to think the Celtics were the second best team in the East in last year's playoffs (factoring the Bulls post-Rose injury). I mean, they finished second, right? They pushed the eventual NBA champions to seven games, and…
Ainge: Perkins trade not the reason team lost
May 16, 2011, 12:03 PM EST
The moment the trade of Kendrick Perkins went through, you knew this is how it would go down — when the Celtics fell out of the playoffs the trade was going to be blamed. Danny Ainge was going to get blamed. Throw in an early second round exit and you have Ainge getting a lot…

I ordered a custom made hitch for my new Ford 500 from you. I could not get it from Ford Motor Corp. because they told me it was not available yet, but you had it in stock. It only took three days to get it from you. I took it to my Ford dealer and they installed it in less than thirty minutes. The mechanic told me that it was the easiest one he had ever installed because there were no holes to drill. Everything was custom fit. Thanks for the fast and easy service. Bobby

Nate Parker is teaming up with Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Amy Berg, and writer-director Matthew Cooke to produce a documentary on what they're calling "the black male crisis" in America, that will emphasize the shooting deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., as well as other black men killed by police officers over the past few years, including Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice and more. To help finance the film, the filmmakers have set up an Indiegogo campaign to raise $25,000 by January 5, 2015, and have, thus far, drawn over $4,100. According to the project's Indiegogo page, filming already began in...[view whole blog post ]

As holiday plans continue, so do efforts to make this Black Friday - typically one of the biggest shopping days of the year - a day of national action against human rights violations.

It's that time of the year again; Thanksgiving Day, here in the USA, is this Thursday, November 28. And while I'm not exactly big on the holiday, I won't spoil your partaking in all the festivities that will consume the entire country over the next 4 days.. So, with that, I assume many of you have Thanksgiving traditions you'll probably adhere to this week, or will maybe break from and try new ideas, whether with regards to what you eat, drink, talk about, watch, etc. It's the "watch" part that I'm most interested in here. What will you be watching on Thanksgiving Day? Likely football for many of you; while others stick to ritualistic screenings of "A...[view whole blog post ]
I have nothing rational, insightful or new to say. I simply don't understand. The parade of death we are experiencing is unconscionable. I don't understand how this is okay. I simply don't. This is not 1968. This is 2014. We are intellectualizing & typing and the murder of Black people is matching our output. The culture is stuck in 1965 when it comes to race relations. It is the last time racism was truly addressed in this country. So, we keep playing out that narrative. But, it's been twisted and bastardized. My hope is that new types of activism spring up. What worked in the 1960's may not work in 2014. There are so many ways to practice non-violent, civil disobedience. Study other...[view whole blog post ]

Winner's coming to dinner (and this time it's at your place)
Michael Winner is in reminiscent mood with a fund of stories about himself - naturally! - and the meals he has enjoyed with the rich and famous.
There was the time he, Michael Caine and John Cleese ordered a snack of hot dogs at the gaudily pink Royal Pavilion Hotel in Barbados.
They waited - and waited. Still no sign of their food. Finally, to a background of their rumbling stomachs, Caine drily observed: 'At least while we're sitting here we are raising local property values.'
Michael Winner: Calm down, dear it's only a meal ordeal
Winner laughs - a loud 'Ha, ha, ha', which is his trademark punchline.
'Then there was the time I was making a film in Mexico with Burt Lancaster. We had a terrible row, and he dangled me over the edge of a 1,000ft cliff.
'I thought I was going to die. He wouldn't speak to me for the rest of the day, but just as we were about to go home, he came over and invited me to dinner as if nothing had happened. He said: 'Michael, I've had some nice lamb specially flown in and I know you'll enjoy it.' I did, too - it's a fact that he only ever tried to kill his closest friends'.
Then there was the dinner-that-almost wasn't with Sean Connery.
'We met up at my hotel in New York and I took him off to the restaurant. The maitre d' said he couldn't allow us - even us - in because Mr Connery wasn't wearing a jacket. I took him up to my room so that he could borrow one of mine. But when we got there, I'd forgotten my key.
'Sean said: 'Step back, Michael' and kicked the door open, James Bond-style.'
And so the stories tumble out, like dishes in an endless menu; some sweet, some savoury, some, you suspect, a bit rehashed.
Winner - as fierce a restaurant critic as he is an entertaining raconteur and shameless self-publicist - has been absent from his usual dining haunts for a few weeks while making a new ITV series. Subject: food, of course.
Trouble: Sean Connery and Michael Winner have enjoyed many evenings dining together
Michael Winner's Dining Stars shows him visiting the homes of 'ordinary people' all over the UK to have dinner with them and judge their cooking.
He pulls no punches and becomes the Simon Cowell of the kitchen. It is funny, confrontational, and even touching.
Winner hands out one, two or three stars to the cooks, depending on how he has rated their food.
The ultimate winner will prepare a meal for him and his celebrity guests at his home in Kensington.
The fact that Winner lives in a £15 million 42-room mansion with eight bathrooms, 100 telephones, an impressive art collection of some 650 paintings and a private swimming pool and cinema can only add to the pressure.
Every week, Winner is seen trawling the streets of each contestant's home town, talking to local people and popping into shops. The hapless host, in the meantime, is seen getting the dinner ready for the guest from hell.
Winner has always innocently maintained that he's not interested in food, only ambience. Try telling that to Antony Worrall Thompson, whose cooking Winner once described as 'so heavy, that if he'd been chef on the Titanic, it would have sunk long before it hit the iceberg'.
Nevertheless, he insists: 'Food gets so jazzed up and messed around these days that I can never tell what I'm eating. The best food ever served was in the Fifties.
'What you got then was meat and two veg and the meat looked like meat and the veg looked like veg. It tasted good, too, and you knew it hadn't been messed around.
'Nowadays I don't know what I am eating half the time. I ask: 'What is this on my plate? Potato?'
And they tell me that no, it's swede. I would never have known otherwise.'
Winner secretly rates his friends' cooking. One hostess heard of this and demanded to be told her rating: 7/10. 'She went bananas, but I was being kind. She only deserved a 2!'
If the route to Winner's culinary heart is simple, old fashioned food, it's, sadly, not one that the cooks taking part in his TV series learned until it was too late.
'These people have cooked regular meals for their families for years and they are very good at it.
'But no matter how well they have honed their skills, the minute I turn up for dinner they try to cook something they think is posh or grand and they try things they are really not capable of.
'But I'm not a food snob. I don't like plate decoration and I hate pomp and circumstance. I don't like anything looking like something it isn't.'
In one programme, he is unimpressed with the prawn cocktail, beef Wellington and strawberry pavlova carefully prepared - with great trepidation - by housewife Justine Forest.
He even reduces her to tears before the meal. But when Justine is summoned to hear Michael's verdict and discover if she is deemed worth of any of his dinner stars, there is an unexpected development.
Winner had been so moved by the plight of two of Justine's three children, Millie, 13, who suffers from cerebral palsy, and eight-year old Christopher, who has a heart defect, that he breaks down.
Recalling that moment, tears course down his cheeks as he says: 'The meal wasn't a success, but I gave Justine a star for the experience she gave me at the dining table.
It was overpoweringly emotional and that contributed to the meal beyond belief. What I do is flippant, but what Justine does is heroic.'
Later he entertained the family to tea and also paid for them to dine at London's fashionable Wolseley restaurant and Sir Michael Parkinson's Berkshire pub.
It showed a little-seen sentimental side to Winner and brought a temporary respite to the endless anecdotes. Not for long.
'You learn a lot over dinner. I was dining with John Cleese in Switzerland and he told me he'd bought two mugs in a souvenir shop.
'One had on it: 'I haven't spoken to my wife for 18 months', and in smaller type: 'I don't like to interrupt her.'
'The second had: 'I married Miss Right. I just didn't realise that her first name was Always.'
'I knew his marriage to Alyce Faye Eichelberger had hit the rocks, but until he told me about the mugs, I hadn't realised how heavily it was weighing on his mind.'
Michael Winner's Dining Stars starts on ITV1 on February 26.
