Kadner: Nothing fair about Illinois elections
By Phil Kadner firstname.lastname@example.com January 22, 2013 5:52PM
Chuck Derringer (left) and Marcus Lewis appear Tuesday at Prairie State College in Chicago Heights, where they were circulating signature petitions for Lewis' run as an independent for the U.S. 2nd Congressional District seat. | Supplied photo
Updated: February 24, 2013 6:19AM
UPDATE: Chuck Derringer, the Chicago Heights resident and political activist mentioned in Wednesday's column, called to say he and Marcus Lewis, the independent candidate in the 2nd Congressional district, were not allowed to collect signatures on candidate petitions at Prairie State College on Wednesday.
They had been allowed to do so on Tuesday.
"We were told they have to check with their lawyers or something," Derringer said.
Illinois makes it hard on political candidates who try to buck the good old boy network.
People running for school boards and municipal offices are tossed off election ballots by boards composed of the very people they're trying to kick out of office.
And in the 2nd Congressional District special election to replace former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., a candidate running as an independent has to collect more than 10 times as many signatures (15,682) to get on the ballot as a Democratic Party candidate (1,256).
Marcus Lewis, 54, of Matteson, is trying to make the race but is discovering how difficult life can be on the independent campaign trail.
"I just stopped by Governors State University (in University Park) to ask for permission to collect signatures on my petitions," said Lewis, a U.S. Postal Service employee.
"I don't have much time to do this because the petitions are due Feb. 4. It's an incredible burden they've set up for us to meet. And I just wanted to go where the people are, and I figured the university would be a good place."
Lewis said he ran into Maureen Kelly, a university official, outside the administrative offices at GSU and explained what he wanted to do.
"She told me it was against the rules of the university," Lewis said.
Chuck Derringer, a citizen activist and political maverick out of Chicago Heights, was with Lewis.
"I asked her to show me the law," Derringer said. "She didn't at first, but eventually she showed it to me and it says political solicitations aren't allowed on state university campuses."
Lewis said he walked away as soon as he was told, "No."
Derringer wasn't as cooperative.
"I made them call the chief of campus security," Derringer said. "This is America, where the Constitution allows ordinary people to petition the government and run for office."
In addition to collecting signatures for Lewis, Derringer said he's trying to get a Green Party candidate on the ballot in the 2nd Congressional District.
The good news is that Lewis and Derringer traveled to Prairie State College in Chicago Heights and were welcomed.
"We were given a table in the nice warm atrium of the college, and I was allowed to set up my banner and people are talking to me and signing my petitions," Lewis told me during a phone conversation.
"I found a pond where the fish are bitin' and I have no desire to leave," he said with a chuckle.
I sure hope Prairie State officials don't end up in prison for allowing the democratic process to take place on a college campus in Illinois.
As for Governors State, Kelly returned a phone call and said she had been warned in advance that Lewis was coming.
Actually, Derringer made that phone call, trying to set up a meeting with whomever would have to give approval for collecting signatures on petitions.
"I just happened to be coming out of my office on the second floor, where the administrative offices are located," Kelly said.
She then put a somewhat different spin on the story, saying she told the two men that soliciting for political purposes was not allowed in faculty and staff offices.
Faculty and staff are forbidden from participating in political activities on the campus, which is sort of understandable because they're paid with tax dollars.
But Kelly also is paid with tax dollars.
According to a news release issued by GSU when Kelly was hired, her title is "director of governmental and community relations."
In fact, she was hired to replace the university's external lobbying firm and was expected to "implement GSU's political engagement strategy with federal, state and local elected officials, regulatory agencies and key policymakers."
"You are a lobbyist," I said to her.
"Yes," she said, laughing.
So a state university has to hire a person with tax money to make sure the university obtains the tax money it ought to get without having to lobby for it.
If I were Kelly and wanted to keep my job, I wouldn't allow any political independents on campus either.
Kelly said she only called campus security when she found out that Derringer had gone into other administrative offices and had not left the building.
That's sort of a Catch-22 situation because Derringer contends he was only trying to find out why he was being prohibited from soliciting signatures on the campaign petitions, and he couldn't very well do that without mentioning the words "politics" or "election."
As for Lewis, he emphasized he didn't want to create any trouble and left as soon as he was told to do so.
When I pressed Kelly, she said had Derringer and Lewis attempted to solicit signatures on campus they would have been allowed to do so "so long as they did not create a disturbance."
I'm not clear on what that means.
If you're talking to people and a crowd gathers, some people might call that a disturbance.
It's simply an issue of fairness. Prairie State, it seems to me, did the right thing, creating an area where Lewis and Derringer could solicit the signatures.
Lewis and Derringer, I believe, didn't have to tell anyone what they wanted to do but were extending a courtesy to college officials by seeking permission.
As for the candidate petition process itself, "it's designed to keep independents and third parties off the ballot," Lewis said. "That's all it's about."
I can't help wondering what bureaucrats would do these days if a bunch of hooligans gathered a mob, denounced our government leaders as tyrants and urged the destruction of private property to protest tax increases.
Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Ben Franklin never would have been able to hold jobs at GSU, that's for sure.
Chances are they would never have been allowed on an election ballot in Illinois, either.

All bout feathers and buckets!
John Sulak
Okay, if you had a big ol' drunk man layin' down on your front porch sleepin' and you tried to get him to move by ticklin' his big toe with a feather, well he might move around a bit, but he'd never wake up.
Naw, you'd probably have to poor a big ol' pale of water right on his face, then he might move.
My point bein' that this Recovery, Save th' Nation, Stimulus, or whatever you want to label it, is goin' to have 'bout th' same effect as that feather!
It just ain't gonna move this country or it's folks much! I mean, good gosh, a bunch of folks a lot smarter than me said that only 12 percent goes to th' folks.
12 percent! Imagine that.
We need a big ol' bucket filled to th' brim with 100 percent!
Yep, then we can wash th' stench of this economic nightmare off of us.
Anybody thought about th' 88 percent we ain't gonna see? Where's it goin'?
Well, it's goin' to arts and crafts, walkin' trails, swimmin' pools, politicians cars, rainbows, lollipops and visions of sugar plums, and th' Wizard of Oz and Dorothy (or is it Nancy, can't remember)!
Man we've come a long way baby!
We are actually gonna set by and let this fiasco happen! Unbelievable! It is th' fleecin' of America.
Thank God a few of us are still allowed to Speak Out 'cause that'll probably be gone soon too.
They are already tryin' to hush folks up.
Oh, and they don't have no qualms about it 'cause they know we have really become that passive.
Just feathers in th' wind and they can blow us in any direction they want to. And they got plenty of hot air! Yep, I'm opinionatin' again!

Release Date:
June, 13th 2008 - Universal
Edward Norton - Bruce Banner/The Hulk, Liv Tyler - Betty Ross, Tim Roth - Emil Blonsky/The Abomination, William Hurt - General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross
Even though this second Hulk movie picks up right where Ang Lee's movie left off, this is considered a Re-do NOT a sequel. With the addition of a real villain "The Abomination" it is supposed to have a lot more action and "Hulk SMASH" like a comic book movie is supposed to have, instead of all that greek tragedy crap.

I primarily use this extract in my smoothies to add a nice mellow almond flavour. It is also great in hot almond milk with a little stevia! You won't be disappointed.

I have made alot of changes in about one month's time. On the BL Lime Summer Challenge, during the last week (about a month ago), we had a "word" challenge. We were to think of a positive/uplifting word and post it, and what made us think of that word, then share how it changed your day the next day. Well, between reading the words of others and my own, it was like all of a sudden I was awakened from my slumber. I realized I had not been dedicated to me, my dreams, my life and once I realized that, it fueled my desires to see my dreams come to fruition. I wrote a blog August 29th about how life was about to get busier... that was me taking the first steps to being dedicated to me, to life again!
It's like one step led to another and another and another and here I sit almost a month later and it's like my entire mindset has changed and I'm not sure how it happened! This whole morning routine thing seemed to almost happen by mistake as I don't recall consciously thinking "I need a morning routine" until it began to happen. Sure, in the past I would say I needed to get up earlier, and could never stick with it. Or, in the past I would want to do something, know I needed too, but it was such a struggle and now, it's like change is happening in lightening speed for me even though I am taking babysteps!
Here are some of the changes over the past month...
~ I used to sleep until the last minute before I had to go to work or whatever, I would get Jonah up at 6 for school and go back to bed. Well, one day as i was walking down the hall to get Jonah up, the thought occurred to me... "I might as well stay up, because if I am gonna be a sub, I will have to get up earlier than this anyway! So, i started getting up at 6 and drinking coffee and what have. A few naps here and there, but I got used to getting up. Well, then I thought, since I have to get up earlier to sub, why not take this time to get used to it? So, then I took the time to 5:30. I really struggled with staying awake all day that first week at 5:30, so decided to take two weeks at 5:30. It got easier and then I started feeling "unaccomplished". So, I thought about it and my friend was getting up and going to the fitness center each morning, so I told her I was going to get up and exercise right away each morning. In the meantime, on the Lime team we had started our walk 100 mile challenge and someone had mentioned Leslie Sansone. I did her video one day to get a mile in and then for some reason, skipped it a few days and then all of a sudden, when I told my friend Susie I was going to exercise in the morning, it became a commitment.
~ Then, I noticed I was feeling really sick and yucky about an hour or two after working out, took me a few days and talking to others and Susie to realize, it was breakfast I was missing. So, then I tried to start eating breakfast, missed a day or two, then it became a priority. Susie also asked me if I was drinking my water because of my headaches. About the same time, it was pledge week on the Limes, so I pledged to drink more water. Now, I find myself limiting my pops, almost as if I decided to, but it's like an automatic response almost.
~ Next came getting up at 5am... really rough the first couple of days, but I was getting up, exercising, and eating breakfast routinely. I still felt kind of sick and not "with it" and I had thought eating breakfast within 60 minutes would be good (I saw it online). Then, my aunt, (who is knowledgeable in all this) told me to eat within 30 minutes of getting up and you burn more calories. So, here is the new schedule: Up at 5am, dressed to exercise, breakfast, exercise. After a solid week of exercising every morning (except Sunday) and drinking more water (and finally starting TOM), I lost 8.4 pounds and don't you know that has fueled me even more!
There are more components I want to add to my morning routine, such as hitting the shower as soon as I finish exercising and spending more time with God before I head out the door to start my day. This will require me getting up earlier, or cutting out some PC time, especially on days I sub, but I am getting there slowly.
Today is Saturday and I decided to sleep in 2 hours and got up at 7, I STILL ate breakfast and exercised. In fact, I did 2 miles instead of just 1! :) The plan is to (for now) keep my get up time at 5, maybe sleep in some on Saturday and Sundays AND, I don't exercise on Sundays, that's my one day of rest and I plan on doing the 2 mile video one day/week while doing the 1 mile the other days and eventually work up to doing 2 miles every day.
Anyway, I am rambling now, but I have gained alot of confidence from this. Soon after I decided to start staying up on my own, I read something I shared on here about layers of behavioral change and how it's about becoming the person you want to be or viewing yourself a certain way and that has helped to cement what I am doing! I have always been a night owl, but now, I am becoming a morning person. In fact, somewhere during the getting up at 5:30 I started to LIKE being up in the mornings. I was shocked on Thursday, it was a day off, I did not take a nap and I going all day long, busy, busy, busy, BUT, I felt like I was alive, and ABLE and I wasn't wishing I had the day to just relax, I was excited to be able to be so busy and still feel alert and present.
I have also noticed that there is more time in my day and am looking at doing some projects I have put off for years. Of course, when I sub all day and work all night, the energy and time will be sucked away, but you usually do not sub EVERY day and I will have some days off from DGM.
You know, it seems that things have changed suddenly for me, and it really seems/feels like lasting change. However, I don't think it was really all that sudden. I think it was years in the making, all the times of trying and failing and learning and trying again and listening to different viewpoints and then suddenly, it took root, like reading the bible, the same passage many times and then one day, it changed your whole way of thinking. It was never giving up hope for change. I gave up on me a few times in the process, but I held on to that sliver of hope that one day it would come to fruition. Everything isn't how I want it, and I have fears that I will let this newfound routine that feels like freedom slip away from me, but I keep thinking about how far I have come, about my successes and how much farther I will be NEXT month!
I truly feel like the sleep has been wiped from my eyes and I am awake for the first time in a LONG time. I will admit, that when the alarm goes off, I often want to go back to bed, but I just say, "Come on Shan, you can do this!" I remind myself that it does not take that long, and then I can have a reward, like the PC or a cup of coffee, or talking to my friend Susie or whatever and by the time I talk through all of that, i have used the bathroom , put on the clothes I laid out the night before and am putting on my shoes, well, i might as well stay up and do it at that point, right?
I hope this was not too long and that is was halfway logical to read, haha!
Hugs to all,
P.S. I have noticed that since I started exercising, I am eating better and I like feeling good, so I am eating to FEEL better MORE than eating to lose, how crazy is that??
Well, I have done everything I can do in order to start substitute teaching. All we are waiting on now is my background check to come back. I've turned in all the papers, I've even gotten my Statement of Eligibility to teach back in the mail and turned in, etc... Gotten in the training, and once the background check comes back, I SHOULD be added to the list right away! I am a little impatient as I am excited to get started! :)
I was reminded of another job I had heard about before, but did not know much about. It is through AmeriCorps and it is called "A-Team". Basically, they go in the schools and work in reading and math intervention with students at risk. It's not in my local school district, but in one about 30-45 or so minutes away. Many people who are teachers live in this county and drive to that one to work and I had planned on applying for a teaching job there at some point anyway! Anyway, I contacted a person I knew who had done the job before and got some contact information and found out that while all the positions are filled at this point, there is a chance that they will receive more funding (should find out this week sometime) and there would be some positions open up in the county I spoke of. There are several benefits to this job and would definitely get my foot in the door in the school I would be assigned to. I went ahead and applied and am waiting to hear back from them about whether or not they get the funding...
I am not sure the job would be best for me if I don't get full-time, BUT, I am leaving it in God's hands! He knows what is best for me at this time and if even working part-time would open the door to full-time next year or possibly even a teaching job. Perhaps, God knows it would be best for me to simply sub this year at my local school district, like I have applied to do...
New subject:
Morning routine is still shaky right now. Getting up at 5am has really affected me this week and it seems it is all I can do to stay awake most of the day! HOWEVER, I was off work yesterday and today and had no outside obligations or much of anything I had to commit to doing, so that makes it harder. Hubby helped me out some yesterday by getting me up and helping me do chores around the house. Still yet, I have taken a morning nap both days and so far, all I get done is getting up, exercising and eating breakfast...
I'm not giving up, I struggled when I moved it from 6 to 5:30 and then I was getting used to it and decided I needed to add more to it, but now, I am "getting used to it" again, so gonna do what I can, but not stress over what I am NOT doing... It will come with time and once I start subbing, etc... I will kind of be forced to move the routine along a little bit! :) Whatever I can do now to get the routine going, will just help me when the time comes!
I went ahead and turned in my new availability hours at work starting next Monday. That way, if the background check comes in soon I will be able to accept jobs right away and if it takes a little longer, then, I will have it all set up at work and ready to go!
I was turning it in at work and the manager I gave it to, asked if I was sure, because my hours might be cut and subbing was not guaranteed. Well, I feel at peace with it right now... I felt led to start subbing again and I believe that God is going to take care of the whole situation and help me do what is best for me and my family. Besides, if he works me my available hours, I will still get almost as many or even as much as I'm getting right now! Here are my available hours I gave him:
Monday: 4-10 pm
Tuesday: 4-10 pm
Wednesday: Unavailable
Thursday: 4-10 pm
Friday: 4-10 pm
Saturday: anytime
Sunday: 1-6 pm
Without Saturdays, that gives me 29 hours, just what I have listed and he will most likely work me a full shift on Saturdays anyway and give me another day off. I haven't mentioned the AmeriCorps job at work, because I have no idea yet if it's a possibility or not! They might not even get the funding!
My morning routine is not quite going as planned... I am not beating myself up, just trying to think of way to tweak it to work better, OR to do something differently so that I actually DO it! I get through getting up, getting dressed, working out and eating breakfast. That is where it all falls apart. I sit down to eat and drink coffee and instead of spending time with God, I end up getting on the computer instead. I tell myself I will only be a minute and that turns in to two hours or more. Either, I need to sit somewhere else to eat, drink coffee and spend time with God OR, I need to set a time limit for computer and FOLLOW it.
I THINK I will try this... I will go to computer long enough to put on some worship music and then move to another seat in the house to eat, drink coffee, and spend time with God.
We'll see how it works... part of it is just being disciplined enough...
OH... and I was hungry before i worked out this morning... what's up with that? I still worked out first, but wondering which is best??
Well, as some of you know, I have been getting up earlier to get in some kind of routine. So far, I am getting up BY 5:30, immediately getting dressed, fixing the coffee pot and then doing my WATP video to walk one mile. Then, I get my cup of coffee, sit down and that's it. By the time I catch up on spark and facebook, I am sleepy and ready to go back to sleep! So, I have been taking a nap the last three days. I haven't really been eating breakfast and am wondering if that is part of my problem... however, I want to work out BEFORE eating because if I stop long enough to eat, I might not get back up to workout. So, I looked up how quickly you should eat breakfast after getting up in the am and this is the answer I found...
"Breakfast jump-starts your metabolism in the morning, so eating soon after you wake up can raise your energy level right away and encourage you to be more active throughout the morning and into the afternoon. Your blood sugar levels are naturally low when you wake, so eating within about 60 minutes of getting up can help prevent a complete blood sugar crash. If you wait until almost lunchtime to eat, however, your energy may be dragging and you could end up overeating during the first meal of the day."

So, I would be tempted to jump in shower after my walk, BUT... I think, for now, breakfast should be my next step to make sure that I am eating within 60 minutes of getting up.
I was trying to take babysteps in this routine thing in order to not burn out or get overwhelmed or whatever, but I am feeling "unaccomplished", so I NEED more than just getting up and exercising, because then I just sit down and procrastinate everything until I am too tired to do it. I THINK I am experiencing those "sugar crashes".
SO, I pledge not to beat myself up if the routine I am creating right now does not work for me! Instead, I will evaluate and go from there. Besides, when I start subbing, it might need to be tweaked anyway! :)
Here is what I propose for the next few mornings to see if it might work better for me:
~ Get up no later than 5:30, but earlier is fine if I wake up on my own (like I did this morning)... I will set alarm for 5 or 5:15 starting Monday.
~ Get dressed to work out
~ Make sure coffee pot is on brewing
~ WATP (about 15 min)
~ Fix and eat breakfast (normal size servings and TRY for protein)! - drink coffee while eating and spend time with God
~ Shower and dress appropriately for the day (work/home/school)
~ Computer break! - facebook and sparkpeople
~ Go through any mail from the day before if needed, fill out forms, paperwork, etc.. right then
~ If home and no appointments, pick at least one chore to do
~ Check off list and re-evaluate
That's all I can think of right now... let's see how it works!
I got this recipe from a friend who shared it on FB, here's the recipe:
1 bag of frozen tortellini
1 small bag of fresh spinach
2 cans of italian style diced tomatoes
1 box or 4 cups or vegetable broth
1 block of cream cheese
put all ingredients in crockpot, chunking up the cream cheese. Cook on low for 5-6 hrs
I bought cheese tortellini, doubled the recipe, used one large bag of spinach, instead of two small bags AND I added 2 14 oz. package of polish kielbasa! Keep in mind, that when i doubled the recipe, it would not fit in my 6 quart crockpot and has to put it in my huge roasting pan. I put it on 400 degrees for about 15 minutes to get pan hot and wilt the spinach a little. Then turned it down to 200, where it's been the rest of the time.
Here is what it looked like by the time i got it all mixed up and JUST had turned down to 200 degrees.
Next is how it looked about 2 or so hours later:
This is what it looks like now...
I haven't tasted it yet, but I want to soooo bad! I keep thinking that the cream cheese will melt and become creamier, BUT... who knows. I did not think to add any seasonings as there was basil, oregano and stuff in the diced tomatoes....
Does it look done to you??
Update: After tasting it, I agree with Barb. next time I will add tomatoes with chili's or rotel to add some spiciness and some Italian sausage! Believe it or not though, I did not add any salt, even in my own bowl, I guess the chicken broth and kielbasa made it salty enough.
Maybe next time, I will do the calories, but I already threw all the packaging away and I don't want to measure it out cup by cup to figure out the servings...
Susie also made it to today, she used one can rotel and one can cheap version of tomatoes and chilies and added a bag of frozen shrimp. She wants to try with HOT italian sausage next time, but loves it this time too. She said hers tasted alot like clam chowder. Both are more like a stew or soup... Oh yeah, she used frozen spinach. Both her hubby and mine said it would be good with rolls. :)
I MIGHT try it with low-sodium broth and lower fat cream cheese next time... not sure.
Give it a try and put your own spin to it, let me know how it turns out!
Oh yeah, here's a pic of how Susie's turned out...

"Any time a movie causes a country to threaten nuclear retaliation, the higher-ups wanna get in a room with you… In terms of getting the word out about the movie, it's not bad. If they actually make good on it, it would be bad for the world—but luckily that doesn't seem like their style… We'll make a movie that maybe for two seconds will make some 18-year-old think about North Korea in a way he never would have otherwise. Or who knows? We were told one of the reasons they're so against the movie is that they're afraid it'll actually get into North Korea. They do have bootlegs and stuff. Maybe the tapes will make their way to North Korea and cause a fucking revolution. At best, it will cause a country to be free, and at worst, it will cause a nuclear war. Big margin with this movie."
~ Seth Rogen In Rolling Stone 1224
"Yes, good movies sprout up, inevitably, in the cracks and seams between the tectonic plates on which all of these franchises stay balanced, and we are reassured of their hardiness. But we don't see what we don't see; we don't see the effort, or the cost of the effort, or the movies of which we're deprived because of the cost of the effort. Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice may have come from a studio, but it still required a substantial chunk of outside financing, and at $35 million, it's not even that expensive. No studio could find the $8.5 million it cost Dan Gilroy to make Nightcrawler. Birdman cost a mere $18 million and still had to scrape that together at the last minute. Imagine American movie culture for the last few years without Her or Foxcatcher or American Hustle or The Master or Zero Dark Thirty and it suddenly looks markedly more frail—and those movies exist only because of the fairy godmothership of independent producer Megan Ellison. The grace of billionaires is not a great business model on which to hang the hopes of an art form."

Auburn Hair Color
Many times the auburn hair color is mistaken with the red because there are some characteristics that both of them have. However they are two different colors in spite of appearances. Before you dye your hair with this color you should take into consideration the color of your skin, your personality and what type of cut you want to get.
This color is very versatile which means that you can choose from darker tones to very light ones. Many women hesitate when they decide to do this color because it is a drastic change. We are so used to our own hair that seeing an entire different color frightens us. However, if you want to change your look and grab a lot of attention you should dye your hair in the auburn color.
If you are thinking of doing it now that is great since the season is changing and you need to go with darker shades. You should know that the auburn color fades with time.
It is very important that the shade you choose for your hair matches the color of your skin. So, if you have a dark skin you should choose a light shade of auburn and a dark tone if you have light skin. The color of your hair will also influence your make up. You will have to choose make up that will match the color of your hair.
Now that you have determined the color of your skin and the shade of color you want to apply on your hair you can start actually dyeing it. Since it is a color like red you will make a lot of mess during the process which is why you should cover your bathroom floor with newspaper. Use only old towels that you can throw away later because you will not be able to get the stains off. Also make sure that you do not spill hair color on the sink or if you do wipe the color immediately. To avoid having red skin when you are done rub some Vaseline on your ears and on the skin near the hair.
These are our advice regarding the auburn hair color which is very in right now. If you want it you should get it because it will bring you a lot of attention and you will feel better because you have a new look. Remember to follow our tips.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Three kids went to the hospital Monday night with serious cuts to their heads and bodies.
Police say their car was run off the road and into a tree by their mother's ex-boyfriend.
It all happened just before 8:00pm on Glazebrook behind Ray High School.
Afterwards, police say the ex-boyfriend drove away from the scene in his red Ford pickup.
None of the kids, all between 6 and 10 years old, were buckled up.
As a result, all three went to Driscoll Children's Hospital with injuries believed to be non-life threatening.
It took about an hour, but police finally tracked down Lionel Torres, the ex-boyfriend, at an address on 17th Street.
His pickup was also at the address.
Torres was arrested for Aggravated Assault.
The mother's new boyfriend, who was driving the car that hit the tree, also fled the scene on foot.
Police say that he may have had outstanding warrants, and left the scene to avoid being arrested himself.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Simmons College School of Management — the first MBA program in the world focused on creating women business leaders. In celebration, one of the founding deans, Anne Jardim, spoke at the Simmons College commencement on May 10. One might think that an MBA focused on women is an idea whose time has come and gone. But as we continue to see in all sectors of our economy and society, we have a lot of work to do.
Most middle school students are listening when their parents tell them to aim for "whatever career makes you happy." However, a new survey found that although girls have strong career aspirations, they view their options as being more limited than boys, and ignore non-traditional fields such as emerging and more highly paid careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
In her commencement address, Jardim observed that 40 years ago women felt they couldn't take the risk to become business leaders and weren't sure if they could even supervise men. Furthermore, she noted that women led and organized themselves differently. This intrinsic difference continues to impact women today.
While women have certainly made progress, we continue to see few well-qualified women rise to the top of the corporate rung. This is not as a matter of fairness, but a matter of economic necessity.
Businesses are hiring great women candidates; they are being trained to succeed at the highest levels, but they don't. As a result, businesses and our nation are suffering. We aren't using our collective brainpower to its greatest advantage.
Today, while business schools everywhere accept women, and, in fact, fiercely compete for the best candidates, little progress has been made at the top of the corporate ladder, either in for-profit or not-for-profit entities. Women make up a tiny fraction of CEOs and less than 15 percent of board members at major companies. Great women MBAs fill the incoming ranks of business and make their ways to middle management but there, the progress stops. What's happening out there in the real world after the academic preparation of the MBA that women have so clearly mastered?
Is the problem that women don't "lean in," as Sheryl Sandberg puts it, or is the fault with the subtle biases that they face in the business world, especially as they navigate their ways to the top? We need to approach this issue in its broadest terms. We need to educate women to be highly skilled in the business basics, while also addressing the organizational challenges they face.
As we celebrate the founding of the Simmons College School of Management and founding deans Jardim and the late Margaret Hennig, we continue to ponder some of the questions they asked 40 years ago. We have seen many women tackle tough problems and succeed. We hope to see more of them in the next 40 years.

This is a known microsoft bug found on Windows 7 and its being also report in Windows Server 2008. There will be a fix from microsoft around this when they release Service Pack 2. If you encounter the following issue the only workable solution is to put all Hyper-V images to save state and then run the Windows Backup.
It seem that although there are some workaround solutions, none of them is really working.
Some solutions that might work for you before attempting the save state are the following:
1) Disable any Forefront or Trendmicro Antivirus solutions
2) Backup the following registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\EventSystem and then delete:
and restart the server. This will cause the VSS Entries to rebuild when the writer initializes
(Note: Do not delete the EventClasses Key)
3) Create a batch file with the following code to re-register the DLL's and restart the VSS service:
cd /d %windir%\system32
Net stop vss
Net stop swprv
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
vssvc /register
regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 vssui.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
4) Make sure your Windows Server is fully updated with all the latest patches.
5) Make sure that all your drivers and firmware are up to date.
6) Make sure you have at least 15GB of space available
If you have already done the following and your backup still fails your only way that will cause some downtime is to save the state of Hyper-V VHD Images and run the backup or wait until Microsoft releases SP2 for Windows Server 2008.

Thanks Glafkos, very timely information, however I am getting a few problems running the batch program and I wondered if you knew whether this could be a problem with my setup?
1. When registering eventscls.dll I get 'The module "eventscls.dll" was loaded but the call to DllInstall failed with error code 0x8000ffff'
2. When registering es.dll I get 'The module "es.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found.'
3. When registering msxml.dll I get 'The specified module could not be found' an obvious one perhaps but should it be there?
4. When registering msxml4.dll I get 'The specified module could not be found' also obvious but I am wondering why these modules are not present? Is there something I have not installed that is required by backup or vss etc?

Hello Ewdev,
1) What OS?
2) Can you verify that the files exist?
3) Did you try to run each command line by line in a command prompt?
The above script should work without issues on Windows 2003/2008
April 9, 2009

Hello Glafkos.
I encounter the same messages as Ewdev on Win server 2008. I believe that the failure of backup is due to a virus (saliti) because yesterday I found that virus on my server, and incidentally I notice the failure of scheduled backup. Until yesterday the backup works fine. I do not made any changes on server, that could justify the backup failure. This is the reason for that I suppose the virus is guilty for that.

For Windows x64 bit please replace c:\windows\system32 with c:\windows\SysWOW64 and execute:
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
As I had researched the issue it seems that the above errors are common for lot of people.

Thank you so much for your input for the x64 system path change. I was desperately trying to fix this error but to no avail. I tried registering the dll files and changing registry entries for hours. When I saw your entry about changing the path for a 64bit OS it finally hit me that I was registering the dll's in the wrong location. It seems silly for me to have overlooked this in hindsight, but your information helped me realize the issue. I hope your post can help others.
Thanks again
