The Philadelphia Wings avenged last weeks loss to New York and won their home opener with a 11-10 victory against New York Friday at the First Union Center in front of 14, 013 fans. Kevin Finneran, Tom Marechek and Jeff Ratcliffe all scored hat tricks to lead the Wings offense.
"It was a great win," said Wings' coach Adam Mueller. "Defensively, we came out with intensity all four quarters. We held them to 10 goals and that was the difference from last week. We were 1-3 coming into the home opener and we needed it. If we had lost this one at home, with the crowd and all the noise here and support, it would have been tough to get up tomorrow morning."
The Wings dominated in the first quarter, scoring three unanswered goals. Ratcliffe netted two goals and Finneran added another on a two-on-one situation. The Philadelphia defense shut out New York, allowing just six shots, while the offense took 15 shots.
Philadelphia continued its attack in the second quarter, opening with a Marechek goal. After being shut out for over 22 minutes, New York netted its first goal on a shot by Kris Bryde. The Wings answered with Marechek's second goal of the quarter. Ratcliffe completed the hat trick two minutes later, but the Saints rounded out the scoring with a John Rosa goal to make the score 6-2, Philadelphia, going into the locker rooms.
Marechek started the second half by completing the hat trick, but Bryde answered with his second and third goals of the night to close the gap. Roy Colsey added the Saints' third straight goal with a shot from the point. Marechek and Colsey traded goals to end the quarter, with an 8-6 score with one quarter remaining.
The Saints continued to rally in the final quarter, with two goals from Prout, a goal by Josh Black and Ramar Clash's first NLL goal. Finneran completed the hat trick with two goals in under a minute and Mark Millon scored his first goal of the night to keep the Wings in the lead.
Marechek led the Wings in scoring with six points (4G,2A). Three other players scored goals for Philadelphia, including Finneran (3G,2A), Millon (1G,1A) and Ratcliffe (3G).
Bryde led the Saints in scoring with five points (3G,2A). Five other players scored for New York, including Colsey (2G), Gavin Prout (1G,3A), Rosa (1G,2A), Ramar Clash (1G) and Josh Black (1G).

Utica Mayor kicks off 2013 Quality of Life sweeps
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - While the sun broke through the clouds Thursday, light shined down on dusty, littered streets in the City of Utica, but the mayor wants that mess to soon change, as he rounded up a crew for a second year of Quality of Life sweeps. "We want to make sure the quality of life...people feel safe in their homes, in their residences...and we spur economic development," said Mayor Robert Palmieri. The sweep began on Bleecker Street with representatives from the mayors office, along with police, fire, DPW and codes workers on hand to clean up and answer questions. The needs of those they came across changed from neighborhood to neighborhood, but the mayor says it's expected after covering 70 miles last year, and hoping to do the same this year. "We want to give hope to the people to let them know, even though we are reducing our workforce, we are going to give the best product we can so they're proud, but they have to take ownership also of their neighborhoods," Mayor Palmieri said. "We can't do it alone. We need the help of the residents and the business owners." The sweeps will continue every week through the summer, with the location based on need.

Aetna Building National ACO Network
The length of the typical ACO contract will vary depending on how much progress the delivery system has made in clinical integration and accepting risk. "For a delivery system with no clinical integration in place, we might look at a contract that runs five years or more because it's going to take a while to get everything lined up, make the governance changes, and deploy the technology."
Aetna is not looking to develop exclusive relationships with the providers. Kennedy explains that providers can't be expected to make a big investment in the technology and other systems and then only use them on a subset of their patients. "For many of our products and services, we offer them on an all-patient/all-payer basis because that's the only way to get the work flow to make sense. A provider isn't going to design one work-flow system for Aetna patients, another for Blues patients, and then another for their Medicare patients."
He says it's too early to see results from these relationships but that the response to the business model has been positive. "One surprise for us is that some national account customers with employees in Roanoke are carving out their healthcare insurance business in the area so they can send their employees specifically to Carilion."

What a bargain! An insurer, whose best interest is maximizing profit and reducing care, provides an "end-to-end" solution, integrating care coordination, customer service, call center and all of the back office for providers. Joy. Soon, we can get rid of the providers too, so as not to impede the "delivery" of health-care. This is thinly-varnished fraud, and about as distant from sound policy as possible. Consumers AND providers need to ring the alarm bells loudly and send this movement back to the drawing board before it's curtains for quality and good outcomes for health care in this country.
Mike Barrett (5/17/2012 at 8:28 AM)
All that was old shall be new again.... [INVALID]d, new communication technology, better understanding of care coordination, root cause analysis, and other advances - at the core this is a reflection that the provider delivery system (version 2.0) is gaining a measure (from small to large) for a population vs. individual. The old - insurance companies worried about population costs, providers worried about treatment of an individual. The new - services companies (old insurance companies) operate call centers, accounting operations, data centers, sometimes provide capital - sometimes not. Providers are now balancing the finite resources for the population with efficacy of treatment for the individual. I agree this is a massive change, and massive organizations have difficulty with massive change. Is it inevitable that there will be massive, monolithic systems in health care? It would be wise to check this assumption thoroughly - particularly in other parts of the world where costs are dramatically lower, and there are not monolithic systems.....

Gartner Reveals Top Predictions For IT Organizations And Users For 2013 And Beyond
By 2014, market consolidation will displace up to 20 percent of the top 100 IT services providers.
A Nexus of Forces, including cloud, big data, mobility and social media, along with continued global economic uncertainty, will accelerate the restructuring of the nearly $1 trillion IT services market. By 2015, low-cost cloud services will cannibalize up to 15 percent of top outsourcing players' revenue, and more than 20 percent of large IT outsourcers not investing enough in industrialization and value-added services will disappear through merger and acquisition. This will limit and endanger the typical offshore/nearshore approach run by dedicated IT services providers and create low-cost options onshore or facilitate a globalized approach to staffing. CIOs should reevaluate the providers and types of providers used for IT services, with particular interest in cloud-enabled providers supporting information, mobile and social strategies.

I'm not up to date on who's who in... well, anything except classical music I guess. Still, people mention names as though they expect me to see faces with them (I'm really bad at recognizing and remembering people I personally see, I'm worse at remembering photos and associating ANYTHING with them). My closest friends have learned to refer to actors by the role I first saw them in, because that's pretty much the only thing that will stick with me. They laugh, but they've come to accept that I'll never associate anything apart from a job with someone whose job is me watching them do it.
I can't bring myself to google these people. It's an invasion of their privacy for me. I don't want to know about their lives, I don't care to speculate what or whom they might or might not have done. If I knew them, personally, it would be utterly different, but I DON'T! So WHY should I care that such-and-such was seen with this-and-that-person? WHO are these people and WHY should I want to pry into their personal affairs? What gives ANYONE the right to do so?
And why are they offended if I say so? These are PEOPLE, not objects for anyone to stare at all the time. Let them live!
Inspiration, for me, isn't about stalking the lives of others. It's about meeting people and learning their stories, becoming a part of their lives just as I, myself, become a part of theirs. When there's a personal component to inspiration, when there's a STORY behind it, when I've talked to that person (whether face-to-face or on the internet), then there's a spark ignited within me.
So, please, people at work, don't show me "How supposed Star X lost 50lbs!" magazines at work. Chances are, I won't even know who that person is supposed to be (except I now know the name they are known by), let alone be inspired by them or aspire to be them. I'm quite handy with image manips myself, you know? Reality, the simple treasures of a friend's or an acquaintances story, the beauty of my surroundings, the fire within and the visible representation of my goals without will always, always serve so much better as something worth striving for.
(I once told off a famous football player when I was out buying shoes when I was still a student in NYC. He was miffed that the sales associate was paying attention to another customer and me and not swarming to him like the other two associates in the not-that-big store. I was SO scared of that giant man, but really, really angry that he was offensive to both the sales people and other customers so... yeah, this is why I'd never survive as a criminal attorney. I've been told I have NO self-preservation instincts when I perceive a slight or an injustice.)
The ugly truth: It's mostly like exercising while NOT hypothyroid, but from time to time, this happens...
About half a mile into my run/walk tonight, my pulse-meter started beeping at me like crazy. I'm wearing one on concession to the team physician of the volleyball club I'm playing at after he found my BP to be on the very low end of being conscious while exercising (my BP drops when I exercise). Checking the readings, they were at 80/50, not too unusual for me but a sign that I need to slow down a little. I was coming up on a walking interval anyway, so I just skipped the final ten seconds of running and went straight to a brisk walk.
That's when the dizziness hit. Now, I'm not new to this, and I know that some days my hormones are out of whack enough that I get dizzy from nothing, so I pushed through. I knew it couldn't be hypoglycemia as I'd had a big dinner tonight.
At 1.6 miles in, at my turning point, the nausea hit. This is nothing new either, but when combined with the dizziness... let's just say I didn't make an attractive picture by the wayside.
Trouble is, I was 1.6 miles from home.
I made it, at a crawl almost, but I got there. I'm still proud I did my exercising, but now I'll have to take some migraine meds before Step 3 of the unholy trinity hits. They tend to make me at once ravenous, tired AND loopy so... I just hope I won't binge.
Hope you're having a better day than me!
A sure sign it's getting close to winter? All these bunnies out and about at night, fluffy and chubby and nibbling on everything.
I almost stepped on one today. Poor thing was just about as shocked as I was, we looked at each other and just sprinted off in opposite directions. Why do these things always happen to ME???
When you're severely hypothyroid, days without any pain are rare. At any moment, muscle soreness, headaches, joint aches, general malaise or similar ailments are our constant companions. It can be pretty well managed with the meds, but since the body isn't a machine and doesn't work the same all the time, the same dose might at times send your heart jittering like a bug and make you feel sluggish and under the weather the next.
Today was a perfect day. NO pain! Even though I trained so hard during the week and had days on which I thought I was a creaky old lady due to being so sore, I persisted in being active EVERY day, and it paid off.
As I was starting to run after warming up, my first thought was "Huh? This is easy!". I ran harder than I had all week, then, during recovery, caught my breath completely. The second set was even better. The trail was flying by under my feet, I even overtook the Grandpa Runner I see every time I run at night for the first time ever (he caught me during my second recovery set and gave me a "You go, girl!", how nice!).
I'm definitely still riding the runner's high, so forgive me if this is a little disjointed.
So, on my route there's a few regulars. There's the Grandpa Runner, who goes for a 15k run every night at 10pm. There's the Super-Fit Architect runner who ever only runs in the most stylish outfit he can find (but who always has a nod for everyone he passes). There's me, Desperately-Gasping Chick. Then there's Sport Student Runner, who doesn't like running but has to do it for his degree (he much prefers biking and playing basketball he told me). There's Soccer Coach Runner, who has been embarrassed about not keeping up with his players and wants to get fit, too. He and I talk for a while during my walking intervals, but I'm faster than he is and usually pull ahead by the time we're halfway through (he asked about my plan, his was "Go as long as you can, walk, repeat", I gave him mine, now he's doing the same intervals). We all flit past each other in varying states of exhaustion, giving a nod in greeting or a friendly word.
It's strange how they're all men except for me. I feel so safe here in this city. I never even questioned being out this late, and my work won't permit anything else. I couldn't ever run in the morning- I'm an absolute night owl, getting up even five minutes earlier than I have to makes me shudder. I love running at night for the crispness of the air, the stillness of nature, the lessening of traffic.
And the people. When they saw me, feeling like flying today, smiling from ear to ear, music pounding in time with my feet, they, too, smiled at me.
I like to think we runners lift each other up, no matter what our level. I like to think that when we see someone flying on that special high, we want to work a little harder so we can join them.
I'm looking forward to getting the same feeling next Sunday, at the end of next week's interval program. Until then, I hope one of the others flying will take me with them.
I usually hunt for stuff to decorate my home with in nature. Today, I found the most amazing bright red rose hip covered branches and some maple leaves as well as tons of horse chestnuts and some unopened chestnuts.
Wound the rose hips into a loose wreath, sprinkled the leaves and unopened chestnuts inbetween, put a candle in the middle and filled it up with the horse chestnuts. Results? Well, pics are going to come soon but it's a 0$ decoration that's going to last weeks and looks absolutely beautiful. Yay for nature!
Edit: Photos added.

The total arena divas status of Queens of the Stone Age has always been a disappointment, as it makes it difficult to appreciate what could have been a solid band. Then there's Kaleen Reading, queen of the kit and adept enough behind it to silence even the strongest Homme hankering. Kaleen holds court in Low Fat Getting High, Brooklyn's grit rock answer to a music scene littered with wandering noise and pretty boys. The band fucking rips.
Bad Yoga is the trio's debut EP. It is a great recording, letting the grungier elements breathe rather than killing them with effects. The real treat is below, however, in what is now my favorite thing in the universe and YouTube. Ms. Reading kills it in this homage to Homme, and we are counting down the weeks until we can catch the group live at Northside Festival.

We went to the show on 27th March 2014 to celebrate my daughter's 30th birthday. It was a great evening, everything we thought it would be. We had the festival meal which was good and included champagne and wine so over all very good value for the night. The host was very attentive going round all the tables for a chat and we really enjoyed the show. We felt it was more Parisien and a more intimate venue than the bigger commercial shows such as the Moulin Rouge or the Lido. We had a great night and would recommend it to others and we saved quite a bit by booking with Viator so would definitely book through them again.

We did this tour in our last night in Paris, it was a magical way to finish the Paris part of our holiday. I would thoroughly recommend booking with Viator we did three tours in Paris with this group and having been unable to book one on line the tour guide organised one for us on the spot for later the same day so we didn't miss out. It was great.

This is a phenomenal experience y Paris. We went to the dinner/show on Christmas eve and we enjoyed a lot. The production of the show is very good including dancers and acrobats and the food was also excellent. Not recommended for small children.

We had a wonderful afternoon with Alexandra. Fortunately we were the only participants so could ask as many questions as we needed answered. It was bitterly cold and raining, but the tour was so great we did not feel it. The venues were well researched, the tastes fantastic and the amount we learned was astonishing. Great to learn something new about how different culture celebrate Christmas with different foods and customs.

The tour guide was nice and really took us to elite places for chocolate shopping and gathering of the 13 desserts. He then took us to sit and eat the desserts with a coffee or tea and nice Christmas music. The title of this tour could be misleading maybe it should be something like " the 13 dessert

Christmas in France or Paris is memorable and magical because the whole city is light-filled :-)

This was a wonderful, personalized tour lead by a true gentleman, who took incredible care in ensuring the tour was suitable for us and our son. This was a great opportunity to stroll the back streets of Paris to find hidden gems and collect the 13 deserts of Christmas that we then shared over tea at our final destination. Highly recommend this tour.

The Small-Group Gourmet Christmas Tour of Paris exceeded any expectation that we might have had. Our tour guide, Roberto, was wonderful. (He even made dinner reservations for us for Christmas dinner and offered his phone number in case we had problems while we were in town.) The tour was a great way to see streets and shops that are off the beaten path in otherwise tourist-filled parts of town. The tour isn't really paced for people interested in heavy duty shopping at each stop, but that was just fine with us. The tour concluded with coffee or tea at a nice hotel with plenty of time to enjoy the delicious holiday treats we picked up along the way. I would recommend the tour to anyone planning on being in Paris for Christmas, especially since many places are closed for the holidays.

Great tour if the weather is good- I can see how it could be a miserable experience if it was raining. We bundled up with hats, gloves and scarves and were very comfortable throughout the evening tour. The company itself is not very organized. The front desk for check-in, as well as the buses out front, did not have any clear lines or signage. Made for a lot of pushing and shoving to get into the bus, but once we were on board I really enjoyed the spectacular city lights. All in all, I would recommend this tour- the holiday sparkle of the city would be a shame to miss.

Unfortunately we had taken a day tour of Paris the previous day which covered all the highlights of this tour. However, it was well organised and we enjoyed it.
The New Year's Eve Dinner was superb and good value. The restaurant staff were very attentive and spoke good English.We had a great time.

It was only in the mid 30's when we went but once the bus started moving it was freezing cold on the upper deck!! But, it was so fun to see all the Christmas light displays and the Eiffel Tower lit up at night. They did provide a blanket for us, so that was nice. It's the best way to get around and see all the lights but dress warmly!!!

Tour guide Ellen was quite learned young lady, and presented historical significant information in a very logical and interesting manner.
It was a bitterly cold day, especially out on 2nd Floor deck.
Only drawback was I booked this tour for 11.00 p.m. New Years Eve, but the Agency brought forward to 1.00 p.m., which was significantly disappointing, and why I'm rating it 3*.

Enjoyed seeing the Christmas Lights on the Eiffel Tower but were disappointed we didn't get right up to the Arc De Triumphe. First half was good but the second half the audio and where were were didn't coordinate so we stopped listening so it was just like a bus tour and got really boring after a while. It was a really cold night so we ended up downstairs at the end and we got stuck in traffic for ages and were quite happy when it finished.

Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird (commonly shortened to Follow That Bird) is a 1985 American musical comedy adventure road movie, directed by Ken Kwapis, starring many Sesame Street characters (both puppets and live actors). This was the first of two Sesame Street feature films, followed in 1999 by The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. The film was produced by the Children's Television Workshop and Warner Bros. Pictures, and filmed at the Toronto International Studios, and on location in the Greater Toronto Area. This is also the final Muppet film to be released before the deaths of Jim Henson and Richard Hunt. This film also featured Alyson Court who would go on to play Loonette the Clown in The Big Comfy Couch, which also aired of PBS Kids in the United States.
The members of the Feathered Friends' Board of Birds (consisting of the Madame Chairbird, a sparrow, a turkey, a puffin, a robin, and an owl) discuss their situation about Big Bird and hope that they can find a bird family to put him with. The group's social worker Miss Finch (performed by Cheryl Wagner and voiced by Sally Kellerman) is sent to Sesame Street to find Big Bird a worthy bird family and bring him to the selected family. Miss Finch brings Big Bird to the fictional town of Oceanview, Illinois to live with a family of dodos. The Dodos think exactly the same, even saying he should have a bird as a best friend instead of Mr. Snuffleupagus (who is currently watching over Big Bird's nest). This causes him much distress.
When Big Bird runs away from his new home and ends up on the news, Miss Finch tells Kermit the Frog that she will reclaim him. His friends back on Sesame Street also see the news and band together to find him before Miss Finch does. In a Volkswagen Beetle is the group of Gordon, Olivia, Linda, and Cookie Monster. Count von Count departs in his Countmobile. Bert and Ernie go out to search in an airplane. Grover flies as Super Grover (later falling into the Volkswagen). Maria, much to her dismay, has to ride with Oscar the Grouch, Telly Monster, and Homer Honker in Oscar's Sloppy Jalopy. They all head out across America in search for their beloved Big Bird. Oscar, however, decides to go his own route wanting to have some fun, which greatly annoys Maria and Telly.
Big Bird has various adventures in his attempt to get home. First, he hitches a ride with a turkey truck driver (Waylon Jennings) who tells him not to give up trying to get to his goal. He then meets two kids named Ruthie and Floyd (Alyson Court and Benjamin Barrett) at a farm and stays with them for a while. He ends up having to leave because of Miss Finch's arrival.
While out imagining his friend Mr. Snuffleupagus in a cornfield, Big Bird is spotted by Ernie and Bert in their plane. But he doesn't know that they are in it and thinks it's Miss Finch wanting to take him back to the Dodos. When Ernie steers it towards Big Bird, he flees in fright. Ernie turns it upside down to get his attention and begins singing "Upside Down World" with Bert beginning to join in singing, but when they turn it back up Big Bird is gone and Ernie blames it all on Bert.
Big Bird is also sought by two scam artists named Sid and Sam Sleaze (Joe Flaherty and Dave Thomas) who operate a lousy carnival called The Sleaze Brothers Funfair. They want to capture him to put him on display. Eventually he arrives in Toadstool, Indiana (dubbed "The Mushroom City"). Shortly after arriving, Miss Finch finds him there and gives chase through the city. On the outskirts, the Sleaze Brothers have set up their carnival and Big Bird shows up asking if they have a place to hide him from Miss Finch. They then put him in their "hiding cage." Shortly afterwards, they decide to paint him blue and tout him as "The Bluebird of Happiness." However, his performance is not one of happiness but of sadness as he sings a song about wishing to be back home with his friends. However, he brings in a lot of customers as Sam is seen backstage during the performance happily counting the pile of cash that's been brought in by the many customers that he has attracted. Sid and Sam are excited because this is only the beginning. They can tell that he is going to make them rich!
After the show, two kids sneak backstage to see him. Upon noticing them, he asks them to call Sesame Street to tell his friends where he is. They do so and the next day, his friends sneak into the circus tent to try to free him. However, the Sleaze Brothers quietly wake up because Cookie Monster gets crazy by some nearby cookies and Super Grover also tried to bend the cage bars. They strap the cage to a truck and attempt to drive off with him in tow. Eventually, Gordon and Olivia give chase and succeed in rescuing Big Bird, after telling him to do something he has always been told not to do. Jump from the moving truck. Shortly afterwards, the Sleaze Brothers are pulled over by a police officer (John Candy) and his kid sidekick (whose apple was stolen at the Sleeze Brothers' carnival earlier in the film) and arrested on charges of counterfeiting, extortion, fraud, impersonating a dentist, and apple theft.
Back on Sesame Street, Big Bird is happy to be back home and looks on as Miss Finch arrives. Miss Finch tells Big Bird that she has found another bird family for him. Maria convinces her that he can be, and is, happy there on Sesame Street where that it does not make any difference that his family consists of humans, monsters, cows, Grouches, Honkers, and the other varieties of eclectic species there. What matters is that they are family. After considering what she's heard and realizing how far his friends went to try to bring him back, Miss Finch declares that Sesame Street is his home. Big Bird is then reunited with Mr. Snuffleupagus. Gordon brings the Volkswagen (which was partially eaten by Cookie Monster) to Luis to see if he can fix it. As Sesame Street goes back to normal, Oscar is carried around the block in his can by Bruno the Trashman in order to get the happiness of Big Bird being back on Sesame Street out of him.
At the beginning of the end credits, the Count begins to count the movie credits (in a nod to the original series, He calls the co-creator of Sesame Street Joan Ganz Cooney "mom" when her name is credited as one of the executive producers). By the end of the credits in a brief "bonus scene," he announces 278 credits and does his trademark laugh accompanied by a thunderclap (no lightning flash was present as was in his usual running gag).

The film was a critical success upon its release. The Orlando Sentinel called the film "a flip and funny road picture for children that doesn't let its kind heart get in the way of its often biting wit."[1] Walter Goodman observed in The New York Times that "by and large, the script by Tony Geiss and Judy Freudberg and the direction by Ken Kwapis don't strain for yuks; what they seek, and more often than not attain, is a tone of kindly kidding."[2]
On Rotten Tomatoes, it currently has a "Certified Fresh" rating of 91%.[3]
Box office[edit]
In spite of the near-universal critical acclaim, the film was a box office bomb grossing only $2,415,626 on its opening weekend. By the end of its theatrical run, its total gross was $13,961,370.
Video release[edit]
The film was released on VHS and Laserdisc in 1986, 1993, and 1997. A DVD release followed in 2002, which was later re-issued as a special "25th Anniversary Edition" in 2009, with new bonus features and cover art.[4]
While there has yet to be a Blu-ray Disc release of the film, it is was once available for streaming on Netflix, albeit sporadically.

Board Approves Plan For Kansas City, Kan., Casino
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) ¿ A partnership hoping to build a Kansas City, Kan., casino cleared its biggest regulatory hurdle on Tuesday, despite the misgivings of the state board in charge of awarding the contract that the plan's first phase does not include building a hotel.
The Kansas Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board unanimously approved a $521 million project at Kansas Speedway, the Kansas City area's NASCAR track. International Speedway Corp., the track's parent, and Penn National Gaming Inc., of Wyomissing, Pa., are partners in the venture.
They hope to open the casino by early 2012 with 2,300 slot machines and about 90 tables for games such as poker and blackjack. The partners also expect the new gambling to generate $220 million in net revenues in 2013, though others' projections are more conservative.The partners still face background checks by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission, which will regulate the casino, and it has until early March to sign off. But state officials don't expect the checks to take that long because Penn is licensed in other states. Penn and speedway officials are promising to start building a hotel at the track within two years of the casino's opening or pay financial penalties. Review board members had questioned the delay but ultimately concluded it was reasonable, given the sour economy. "This is about as good as we're going to get under the circumstances," said review board Chairman Matt All, an attorney from Lawrence.

Rich South High School | Casey Toner~Sun-Times Media
Updated: November 12, 2013 6:24AM
I don't think the charges were severe enough on the children involved in the brawl at Rich South High School. I think they should round up the parents and hold them accountable as well.
It seems like the Chicago newscasters give the Chicago crime report just like a normal weather report. "It's cloudy today, 10 people are shot, six people are wounded and a slight chance of rain tonight." It's like a nightly routine. It's like people expect the shootings and people don't care about them anymore. Chicago's crime rate is a sinful disgrace. Some people and tourists don't want to come here. I don't blame them.

Keke Palmer is someone all of us in the Southland should be proud to watch. She is from Robbins and has become a big success since moving to California. This 20-year-old is a talented actress and singer. She is intelligent, charming and mature.

With all of the dead trees in Tinley Park due to the emerald ash borer, this impacts the character of every neighborhood in our community. I'd like to see a focus on issues that we actually care about and less emphasis on roundabouts, new train stations and other wasteful spending. Our leaders on all levels of government have let us down.
Michael from Tinley Park
I'm the person that commented about tip jars. It doesn't strike me as unusual that some of the responses were completely ego-driven and missed the point. I have no problem with tipping within its proper perspective such as waitresses, waiters, etc. Maybe they should "suck it up or get a better job"? They knew what the job paid when they took it. If it makes you feel "so good" to put a smile on someone's face, then why don't you do like I do and contribute to a food shelter where people are completely devastated due to the current economy?
About universal health care: I'm not a big fan of Obamacare, but it's the best we have right now. A better plan would have been universal health care: a Medicare-For-All. Everyone turning 65 years old wants to be Medicare-eligible. I know people who worked at government jobs that don't qualify for Social Security but who made sure they had enough part-time jobs over their lifetime so they could get Medicaid, so it must be a good thing. It's those darned insurance companies who pushed for Obamacare instead.
An article in SouthtownStar titled "Debt looms large in Oak Lawn" makes me wonder whether our public officials are on the same planet as the homeowners and the general population along the lines of raising property and other taxes.
Who are the patriots? Barriers were up around the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. WWII veterans from the Honor Flight plowed right through them. Good for them! These men stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, and people thought a barrier would keep these patriots out? The WWII Memorial is like Buckingham Fountain here in Chicago. You just look at it. Why have the barriers? I think the White House is doing this for show. They wanted to make a point about the government shutdown, and it backfired.

I don't understand how unions can be bad for the working men and women of the United States but the corporations can band together so that they can make large profits and stick them in their pockets and avoid paying taxes, and that's OK.
Obamacare health insurance is just like mandatory auto insurance here in Illinois, and some people don't carry auto insurance. The difference is you're only in trouble for auto insurance if you're caught without it when you're pulled over, but you're in trouble for Obamacare by the Internal Revenue Service every year with no questions asked.
Some people say that Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is constantly under pressure. NFL star quarterback Peyton Manning from the Denver Broncos once said, "Pressure is something you feel when you don't know what the hell you're doing."

A lot of people think our public servants are overpaid. In my opinion, they should be paid top dollar. They lay their lives down for us every day. They are the true heroes and they deserve respect and honor. They should have their own holidays where we can show appreciation. I'm proud of our public servants.

While there is a huge push in October to donate due to breast cancer awareness, there should also be a push to research the charitable organization you are looking to donate to. Take a look at the percentage of funds that goes to research, cure, education and support and the percentage that goes to administrative costs.

I can speak but people around me
don't seem to understand my words..
They just pick me up and feed me the bottle..
sometimes i cry being disturbed..
Pa has a nerve to say i'm not his
..around me puffing herb..
Glad he's out of my life,
he can't change my pampers
or hold me right..
Crying at night for my beloved mothers attention..
She's there whenever i call her,
she's my dependent..
All these strange people
extending me their hands..
When i was old enough to walk..i ran..
Can't wait to grow up,
sick of being called little man..
Heard my parents argue didn't understand..
pa said i wouldv'e never existed
if it wasn't for the popped trojan..
Ma broke down like a car out of gas
then stole em..
His jaw he was holding,
as his fists hit her dome then she fell..
Scared i started to wail,
and pa started to yell..
Ma never moved again..
after i saw all this red stuff come from her mouth she was coughing..
Know he's gone too and my new name is orphan..

Snatch cha mind off the meat rack

Invasion body snatch cha wit the beat
Mistreat cha mind call me sort of elite/
Reap what cha sew my flow got gold linen though
Hold cha rope speak truth in the booth/
I speak from feelings, heart and prospective
Written correctly connectively we serve you electively/
Spit cha shit so selectively I rep my team
Whether cash, cream we wolves while yall are sheep/
I peeped cha eyes divided minds by conquering yall
They're doing Oscar worthy performances
On yall brainwashed dummies/
It's so sad it made me that more hungry
So I got in the booth to make more rabid music/
Killing you pussy's like The Sopranos call me "The Rap commando"
The "Black" Rambo, the "Black" Punisher aka the lyrical executioner/
Putting hits on you stupid rap abusers
Using it like a trend or a gimmick/
Thinking you're what the culture is,
I've seen this wit Diddy don't try n kid me/
You ain't pushing the limits
You're setting black people back 10 years/
How about we speak on terms you can endear
While my flows run up on ya rear
And kills you like grizzly bear/

Eternal reflections of past vets trimmed like shags
Drunken with Amy in the Winehouse, i'm not going to rehab
Skin pinched by crabs, i'm not letting em seafood
I'm shore as the shells in the sand, this mans harder than horse hooves
Fools asking can-i-bus, catch second round k.o.'s in duels
I'm loved by crips cause i put blood in pools
My bar stools, catch shots, from this needle fiend fuse
your sessions lack class, that's why the scrooge got schooled
If youv'e got nothing what can you lose?
Knowledge is gained, degrees flammable like propane
Giving pro's pain, i'm breaking muggs of dj's insane in the membrane
Let's b-real, go sen ya dogs to get flamed by the soul assasin
Straight up menace, Mc's get eiht in a orderly fashion
Blackout this man's methods mashing, and smashing
I'm ultramagnetic emcee's know i make it happen
Beatdowns are critical for critics, criticizing my rapping
all eyez on me, a thug never losing the passion for skull bashing
Mos def i'm black on both sides
the new danger leaving cities terrorified
see J in the hood looking out for d's on the block
Red shirt on the man gone wild like Funk Doctor Spock
A hustler that's smooth speaking broken language
with glocks on cock, a gambler with a trigga holding knots
Rushing spots, colder than ice cubes when i kill at will
take the milk out ya bones if you don't keep it real
So stop, looking, and listen as i break lytes of mc's
Dj's want the premeir tracks i craft rapidly
the guru teaching crews, a daily operation
Haters catch a twista, a overnight celebrity in the making

Got my own break beats mixed wit a Casio and Korg instruments
My flow is never bland nor board throwing darts at cha cord/
Cut cha gourd into pieces without delivering my thesis
I preach this, wit skills that featured and remixed/
Hit cha beats wit a hundred-thirty BPM run through these tools
If you choose to skip school youre just another tool in the shed/
Dead these reds wit more bread than any head
Face the editing or get cha rhetoric corrected/
Ive been elected interjecting wit weapons intercepting
Festering wit you suckers lounging and pestering/
Now Im destine to use my flows as weapons
Fuck a Nip-Tuck my flow is goose, goose cluck, cluck/
Who got the gall balder to let their whole larynx shatter?
I rather blow out my vocal cords than to not speak no more/
Run through hordes of emcees wit no vocal capacity
Spit cha game like plastic Im no toy boy Im elastic/
Sticky wit dogged darts killing these morbid hearts
Wit fatal sharps through agile works of arts/
Crossword check the Xs my lines is connected fours wit whores
Peel back the tracks like doors are opening now were all scoping/

Without quoting the dopest I kept my flow the smoothest
Now they asking me to show and prove this, before I loose this/
"Come as you are"
My crew's got that nigerian warrior skills

Come thur like we obviously runn'in things
And proabaly sonn'in the four fathers at no oddity
Form ruff like corn husks, worn scuffed wallabees
Stick up a tour bus downtown like nuthin, street pirates
Greek tyrants, word to the miss'in mouths we beat silent
We speek diamonds, we start'in the hardest dialect
We seek crime and, we sparkin the starless sky and yet
We cant' stop it, addiction to a fiction life
See bank profits, the riskless got the vision right
Do what we got to like john cue, keep calm too
Sacrficed like my man with the neon tooth
Even in bent mirrors, son you can see i'm true
No mind trap, i bet a dime sack and my wine rack
NOw buy that, but yo fuck what u did and what u will do
U cheap talk'in, keep walk'in or these knuckles'll steel you
A Night beat down, like poilice in the forty's, challenger
Or fight me now, light yo piece wit the forty, caliber
Monopoly on the power, dictator in a hidieous set
Hands stuck on the hour, in a minute gimme a sec

Reasons to live are reasons to die, in disguise
This life was never mine, the rivers never ran
Cross your arms, its too late for helping hands
Spit your pity elsewhere, there's no sympathy needed
For one who's never alive, for one who's never completed (Bigot Hitman)
It's the Black Eskimo to chastise these rap guys wit frost bitten ways
Egsna on these beats going this way wit the rhyme I display/

And bring that boom bap back like we going radioactive on tracks/
Attack attendees remedy the melody edit the metaphors & similes
Smoothly revert these suckers emcees into Vatican style rhymers/
Grind all nighters as writer fired up wit flows that ain't manufactured
I got cha caught in the rapture and that's when I attack ya/
Blacked out like the Valentine's Day massacre after the math
I wrote mines in red ink thinking it's my blood stain as I bury my pain/
Call me the patriarch of the microphone
I rap volumes around you so called emcees/
Deadly, relentless wit my weaponry be effortless
Yall emcees are secondary to me, cuz were focused daily/
My flow doesnt have to be legendary
Just to dismay you gay emcees on the daily/
I display lyrics of fury like a microphone fiend
Im a ace to ya queen, Im a rook to ya king/
Im a duff your bishops with my black knights,
Cuz were just that tight plus you dont even sound right on the mic/
Thunderous when I take flight its a fire fight guerrilla warfare
To any who aint prepared and focused daily/
Im the remedy, the enemy to emcees deadly, the pro-lyrical virus
Leave you seriously divided cuz Im infinite like 1 divided by pie/
Dont lie on ya rhymes, I tell the truth serious when Im in the booth
They call me One Hundred Proof Tech check the way I rep my city/
From New Yitty I kill you kitty cats wit liquefied raps so hot
They internally combust and blow up right in your face/

Thoughts in motion like waves in oceans
roller coasting through coasts, the most fabulous
Miraculous, lord have mercy as i rush
Plus bust shots on the hush
Touch the dutch, gutted and cut
Tell ya connect to duck
or his brains splash
44 forecast, quiet storm clash
Crash venues in half
Give a crip a bloodbath
Head off with the sword
His dome in my hands grasp
Man down cremated to an ash
Verbal beatdowns last for hours
Nose numb from powder
Hands hurting from punching cowards
Take they money, plus respect, and power
My evidence, my own testament, written on wood

"Come as you are"
The lead smoke'in addict, never a red soakened tragic
Think'in green on the eve of parrel,
Laugh'in hard and sing'in carrols
I'm see'in barrels of gun powder, u steadily bring in arrows
For a team of the unharolded with mindsets of the narrow
Cavemen heads with nothin to live for but they don't care though
I'm like radio waves from different planets
Give'in birth to conspiracy, scientist can't stand it
Lyrical nervous break down, u.f.o. rhyme scheme sited
A understand'in the human mind can't manage, only copy
Might it be alien lines that bring war behind alien lines
Too advanced glocks be blow'in tanks over the horizon
Even God would be shocked at what he grew from dirt and rocks
I play my king position like chess masters
And never get touched cuz my pawns can't be plastered
They stronger then oppose'in team's queens
With knowledge to out last'em
Heinous poetic crime committ'in, shit'in on law systems
Not a x-factor, the main target remains parted
like light in perfect prisim, he's the hardest, but what's in'em
So u can see why i'm the illest u never heard of
I'm like the second before the first after the third was...

At least Ill be made over like The Joker/
Oh wait, hold that thought i thought I told cha
Opps you thought cha caught my flow/
Nope Im on the go showing yall emcees
I know ya schemes, scams, and plans/
Dont think cuz your feeling a little loopy
My lyrics zoom in like binoculars lenses
Leaving most emcees clandestine wit life as a lesson/
You better not speak hatred around these parts
I etch the sketches, draw the arts while pulling apart electronics
Leave emcees on stretchers, benches and disassembled/
Dare and test this lyrical constructor, dont start screaming
Youve been warned about the horror of the rap game/
Im the blood stained name, on the court where you be balling at,
Encroach on ya turf, play the roles, leave nothing but scrolls/
Unload my arsenal whether its marksmanship or basketball
Im a harass ya in the hall, wit long deep stares
without you seeing the glare/
Dare not Im hear to rock flows whether its shares or stock
I pass the rock gimme em the shares or not
Before you plummet like the Dow Jones and the NASDAQ/
Blowing up ya spot is a must if I bust then
I jizz all my spits all over the crowd
birth many seeds from the way
I spread knowledge like disease/

"Come as you are"
We give it all to the sick and won't consider the dose
Let the eyes roll backwards, phrases is soul hackers
A change of heart with out the surgery, a printless purgery
Gold wrappers symbolize your skills appereance
But inside isa flightless chick abanoded in a clearance
Each line you write goes to the ears of the city cats
Look'in for easy meals meet'in ends with grity raps
You should be enough, i won't have to eat for days
How are you so misguided that you seek a maze?
Your verses is jokes like total equal justice
In a society grown from racist roots an' evil fuckers
So i had to step back like y would you step to me
Like i ain't the slug hitter from the ville jus bet Louie
I'm ready to fire you so i'm hope'in you act up
Weak writers done closed yo eyes now open'em back up
The dealer of hope is selling me lies

Face these lords, fuck there gourds up niggaz wanna tuck shanks
We bank on these solider boys thinking theyre more than just toys/
I play theses kids wit more words than anything since The Wiz
My tricks aint for kids doing bids

Face you fakes, take a break listen to those beat breaks
Once we treat those samples wit dusty palm olive oil/
Come coiled up in cocoons baffling you baboons
Wit mushrooms gastric bypass flow fast after you digest it/
"Come as you are"
This write'in is easier than bench press'in five pounds
Play'in with your scheme's and flows is cool and all
But the arms of yo lines don't have the strength to pull it off
This ain't like a heaven threat, dare'in hell, nope
Its like some college student tryna teach Derrick Bell so
It doesn't make much sense, for you to try to convince me
That u won't choke at highest stakes like Nowitski
Weigh in yo rhymes, bitch meet me at the see-saw
I'm like the seventy-two Dolphins, i will beat all
Me and mic is rice and montana, moss and brady

Don't get it twisted like a shoelace, i move weight..

Doing broadylight hits in buildings, watch the beams break..
Snatch ya cake, and icing, frames i'm slicing, and dicing..
Hoes can get it, but whores i'm not wifing..
I'm nasty like i took a shit without wiping..
Record songs without writing, i piss lightning..
slug in your rectum, too pretty for fighting..
sniping blade holders, 24/7 heavenly flow-er..

Disciplined like a tai-chi master,

Simmons 3Q Net Income Up 2.5 Percent Despite Expenses
by Gwen Moritz
Posted 10/17/2013 08:51 am
Updated 1 year ago
Simmons First National Corp. on Thursday reported third-quarter net income of $6.93 million, up about 2.5 percent from the same period in 2012.
Thanks to a stock buy-back program, earnings per share for the quarter rose to 43 cents, up almost 5 percent. Year-to-date earnings reached $19.4 million.
The publicly traded Pine Bluff bank holding company (Nasdaq: SFNC) noted that it had $439,000 in after-tax expenses related to merger costs and branch closings, which weighed on the bottom line.
"As a result of recent acquisitions and efficiency initiatives, we have and will continue to recognize one-time revenue and expense items which may skew our short-term core business results but provide long-term performance benefits. Our focus continues to be improvement in core operating income," George A. Makris Jr., who is set to become CEO on Jan. 1, said in a news release.
Simmons, through its flagship Simmons First National Bank, expects to conclude its bankruptcy court-approved acquisition of Metropolitan National Bank of Little Rock about Dec. 1.
Total assets for the company, which operates eight separate banks, were $3.44 billion, up less than 1 percent from a year earlier.
Simmons management will conduct a conference call to review the third-quarter financials at 3 p.m. Thursday, which will be accessible live and then in a recorded version on the corporate website, SimmonsFirst.com.

Bordeaux of 1996
By Tom Cannavan, 04/99
Two years ago in Bordeaux I tasted several of the classed growth clarets from barrel and found them incredibly rich with terrific ripeness of fruit and already very fine tannins and acidity. They showed huge promise, so I have been eagerly awaiting a chance to taste the 1996's in bottle, even though such young clarets would inevitably be hard work at this stage. Even quite minor wines need a few years for tannins to soften and many of these will need 8 years to come good, but should easily last for 20. This selection is of moderately priced wines, both
Crus Bourgeois
Crus Classés
. I thought as a group they were very, very promising. They have a core of solid, ripe cabernet fruit that suggests decent longevity. Whilst many are still brutally tannic, there is a structure and elegance beneath. I think there are also a couple of relative bargains in this selection: the unfashionable Château Lynch-Moussas has produced a deliciously complex wine with terrific character for £15 ($24), as has Château Cantenac-Brown in Margaux for £19 ($30). Lafon-Rochet is a massively tannic, but beautifully concentrated and structured wine at the same price. If you are prepared to wait 10 years, it should be superb.
The tasting was not blind. Prices in pounds sterling, approx: £5=$8.
Château Beaumont, Cru Bourgeois, Haut-Médoc - £8.99
Deep, opaque, blackish/purple with ruby rim. Very attractive blackcurrant fruit and some powerful oak. Quite high and volatile. Punishing acidity on the palate and severe tannins, but there is good fruit that is pure and blackcurranty. Moderate oak and good length. Good.
Château Cissac, Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, Haut-Médoc - £11.99
Very dense and opaque purple/crimson. Closed, but more fragrant, sweeter nose. Good blueberry fruit, quite aromatic with violet scents but also meaty notes. Good, rich blackberry fruit on the palate and very drying tannins. Some vanilla flavour and more character. Rather short. Good.
Les Fiefs de Lagrange (2nd wine of Lagrange), St-Julien - £13.49
Dark, solid, crimson/purple to black. Attractive, aromatic nose. Blackcurrant and lighter, raspberry fruit. Quite pure, with some coffee aromas. Quite elegant on the palate, maybe a little austere: high acidity and plenty of grippy tannins. Good length but might be a battle for fruit to outlast tannins and acidity.
Château Lagrange, 3rd growth, St-Julien - £24.99
Really intense, brilliant purple/black. Lots of coffee-bean scented new oak masking a deep core of dusty black fruit. Creamy palate. Huge, drying, ripe tannins. Very soft pillow of fruit beneath. Full, but good acidity too and a nice weight of fruit with classy tobacco and cedary notes. Finesse, and very good indeed.
Château Lafon-Rochet, 4th growth, St-Estčphe - £18.99
Dark purple colour, almost black. Very backward. Very earthy too with an edge of mineral scents and a deeply hued set of aromas. Massive wine. Huge concentration of dense, brooding fruit and thick, chewy texture. Very drying new-oak tannins but that plummy depth stands up to them. Very serious and structured. Excellent potential 10 years+.
Château Calon-Ségur, 3rd growth, St-Estčphe - £24.99
Medium to dark ruby/purple. Appears a little more evolved. Tight, but nicely perfumed nose with notes of blackcurrant, cherry and coffee. Rather astringent with firm, somewhat metallic flavours and high tannins. There is some blackberry and plummy fruit but it is a little medicinal and disjointed. (might be "shocked" from recent transport - other samples had arrived a week or two earlier).
Château Lynch-Moussas, 5th growth, Pauillac - £14.99
Very even, dense purple/black colour. Massive charred-oak nose. Big and vegetal with mushroomy, undergrowth aromas, roasted coffee beans and glimpses of sweet black fruit. Sweet and full on the palate with copious quantities of oaky flavours and tannins, moderate acidity and lovely complexity of sweet blackcurrant and more earthy fruit. Drying tannins into a long finish. Excellent, and outstanding at the price.
Château Clerc-Milon, 5th growth, Pauillac - £21.99
Very dark, even blackish purple colour. Sweetness of ripe fruit on the nose and again some coffee notes. A good concentration of pure fruit, cream and vanilla. Good depth, dry, powerful tannins and a broad underpinning acidity. Fruit really is pure and concentrated if buried at the moment. Good length. Very good.
Château Grand-Pontet, St-Emilion - £19.99
Very dense crimson. A little more warmth to colour. Fragrant nose, lovely aromas of sweet cassis, confectionery and ripe cherries. There's a chocolaty depth too which emerges over time. Creamy, fleshy texture with more merlot character, flavours of blackcurrant and a bitter plum-skin edge. Good, firm tannins and acidity lead to a dry but long and concentrated finish. Very good.
Château Larmande, Grand Cru Classé, St-Emilion - £19.99
Opaque, blackish but a touch lighter. Closed but chocolaty nose. Some perfume emerges. Very firmly structured but so closed it is quite difficult to assess. Gripped by tannins and high acidity, there is also a lot of oak. I wonder if this has the fruit ever to come fully into balance?
Château Cantenac-Brown, 3rd growth, Margaux - £18.99
Very dark, even, purple/black. Gorgeous nose. Big and barnyardy with meaty, gamey, truffle scents and coffee-bean oak. Creamy and exotic. palate is very closed and hard to see past massive tannic structure but there is a solid depth of plummy fruit in there and a fine, long finish. Very good indeed.
Château Suduiraut, 1st growth, Sauternes - £27.99
Lovely bright gold with a tinge of emerald green. Good botrytis, loaded with honey, fig and butterscotch. Peach kernels too, lots of vanillin oak. Chewy oak flavours and intense sweetness on the palate. Mid weight, mid glycerine but pure orange and fig fruit persists into a long finish. Unobtrusive but very positive lemony acidity keeps it clean. Excellent.

iPad 101: User Guides and other helpful resources
You've bought your iPad. Congratulations! So are you ready to learn all the ways you can get the most from your new purchase? Here's a quick run-down of some indispensable resources as you're getting up to speed with your new purchase.
- Read the manuals: The iPad User Guide (pdf) provides an in-depth review. This user manual is not included in the iPad packaging. Instead, Apple hosts it on its support site. This 154-page long (!) guide covers all the basics for using the iPad and understanding how it works. If you'd like to convert this PDF-formatted guide into a format (called "ePub") that you can use to read on your iPad, there's a handy website called epub2go that will handle the conversion for you. After transforming the file to epub, just drop it onto your iTunes library and sync it to your iPad. You'll be able to read the book using Apple's free iBooks application. It won't look as nice as a standard ePub document, but you'll have it in mobile form.
- Take a guided video tour: Apple has posted videos that introduce many of the iPad's new features, including Safari, Mail, Photos, iPod, and more. You can watch these videos to get an idea of how each of these features work, and pick up a few pointers along the way. These aren't really meant as tutorials; they are marketing videos, but they can also work to introduce the iPad to you.
- Read our iPad 101 series: TUAW regularly posts tips and tricks for new users via our 101 posting series. In addition to the iPad, we often post Mac 101 and iPhone 101 hints, suitable for those just getting started with a new platform. These write-ups help introduce new concepts and don't assume that you're already an expert.
