A Pennsylvania decision on voter ID begs the question Republican lawmakers have been asking for years: Why wait until after the election to skew the results?
When the United States Supreme Court handed the presidency to George W. Bush on the night of December 11, 2000, by means of a partisan 5-4 ruling so constitutionally dubious that even the five conservative justices who endorsed it urged that it never again be cited as precedent, there were really only two main directions in which America could have headed in fixing its state election laws, the failings of which were laid bare by the Florida recount.
Remembering all those poor, confused ladies in Palm Beach County who mistakenly voted for Patrick Buchanan, state legislators around the country could have made it easier for Americans to accurately cast their vote. Or, conversely, still stinging from the tangible proof of the flaws and impurities inherent in every state's election procedures, state lawmakers around the country could have made it more difficult for Americans to accurately cast their vote.
The first scenario would have acknowledged that the injury caused by thousands of valid votes not being counted is far worse than the injury caused by a few invalid votes being counted. The second scenario would have acknowledged the opposite. The first scenario is a concept familiar to anyone who knows anything about our criminal justice systems -- better to let 100 guilty men go free than convict an innocent man. The second scenario is rooted in the twisted logic of the Constitution's Three-Fifths Compromise.
Twelve years later, it's clear which vision has prevailed. On the federal side, Congress has merely nibbled around the edges since 2000. There was the Help America Vote Act, a 2002 federal statute which helped lurch voting technology a little further into the 21st century. And there was the Move Act, a 2009 federal statute, written by Senator Charles Schumer (D-N.Y), which helped ensure that military veterans abroad could vote -- and have their votes counted -- no matter where they are stationed.
But, as we all learned during those five roiling weeks at the end of 2000, it is primarily state law that governs our elections. And on the state side it's been an absolute rout since Bush v. Gore. In the name of "accuracy," and for the putative sake of preventing "voter fraud," Republican-controlled legislatures around the country, fueled and choreographed by the American Legislative Exchange Council, have orchestrated a series of state laws designed to make it more difficult for Americans to vote.
Not all Americans, mind you. If you are wealthy, or own a car, or have a job with enough flexibility to get you to a state office to get the right paperwork, the new laws are perhaps only a mere inconvenience. But if you are poor, or ill, or if you don't have easy access to transportation, or if you don't have full command of the English language, or if you have a job where you can't get off work, the new laws are more than an inconvenience. They are a burden -- a burden many Americans may not be able to bear this election year.
This is happening all over the South -- in Texas, in Florida, in South Carolina -- although in these states the Justice Department, to its credit, has moved to block the disparate impact of new voter laws under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, a provision of the 1965 federal law that requires states with histories of voting discrimination to get federal "pre-clearance." Not for nothing, this may be the last election in which this remedy is available to voters. The Supreme Court is poised this coming term to strike it down.
The same Supreme Court, that is, that embraced the concept of strict voter ID laws when it ruled in 2007, in an Indiana case styled Crawford v. Marion County, that lawmakers didn't necessarily need to prove past examples of election fraud in order to burden potential voters. Yet "however slight that burden may appear," Justice John Paul Stevens wrote for a fractured Court, "it must be justified by relevant and legitimate state interests 'sufficiently weighty to justify the limitation.'"
Today, thanks to that ruling, restrictive voter laws have made their way into 19 states, including battlegrounds like Ohio, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. In 2004, remember, John Kerry lost the presidency in large part because he lost Ohio, and he lost Ohio in circumstances that remain suspicious today. It's easy to envision Ohio, Wisconsin, or Pennsylvania determining the outcome of the coming election, too. Which brings us, finally, to a remarkable decision Wednesday by a Pennsylvania state judge.
On Wednesday morning, Commonwealth Court Judge Robert E. Simpson, Jr., elected as a Republican in 2001, issued a 70-page ruling that upheld Pennsylvania's new voter ID law, a measure that requires registered voters to present to election officials "proof of identification." There are many remarkable points of law and fact in the judge's opinion in Applewhite v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. But the essence is simple: All that logic was offered up in the name of reaching an absurd result.
Voter ID requirements are not new. Pennsylvania has long required voters to prove who they are. What is new in Act 18, as the new law is called, is the sort of identification that is statutorily acceptable. It's a much narrower list than before, the idea being that making it harder for Pennsylvania voters to prove who they are will make it harder for ineligible Pennsylvania voters to commit fraud upon the election. How did the state justify this new burden? Here's how Judge Simpson characterized it (the emphases are mine):
Requiring a photo ID improves the security and integrity of elections in Pennsylvania in a manner that is in keeping with the photo ID requirements of many other secure institutions and processes. Respondents are aware of reports indicating that lists of registered voters contain the names of persons who are deceased, no longer residents of Pennsylvania, or no longer residents of the locations at which their names appear on the list of registered voters
Respondents are aware of reports indicating that votes have been cast in the name of registered electors who are deceased, who no longer reside in Pennsylvania, or who no longer reside in the jurisdiction where the vote is cast, Absent proof of identification presented to elections officials at the polling place, there is a risk that votes may be cast in the names of a registered electors who are dead or who have left the Commonwealth or jurisdiction of the election district by a person other than the registered elector.
Respondents are aware of reports questioning the integrity of elections based on a variety of incidents. Requiring a photo ID is one way to ensure that every elector who presents himself to a vote at a polling place is in fact a registered elector and the person that he purports to be, and to ensure that the public has confidence in the electoral process. The requirement of a photo ID is a tool to detect and deter voter fraud.
How bad is the election fraud that Act 18 is designed to end? How bad is the problem the new law seeks to solve by burdening legitimate Pennsylvania voters? What is the scope of the fraud which the measure seeks to "detect and deter" by forcing valid voters to get new forms of identification? It simply doesn't exist -- a point Pennsylvania was forced to concede at trial and which Judge Simpson acknowledged in his ruling. "The parties stipulated as follows," the judge wrote:
There have been no investigations or prosecutions of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania; and the parties have no direct personal knowledge of any such investigations or prosecutions in other states...
The parties are not aware of any incidents of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania and do not have direct personal knowledge of in person voter fraud elsewhere.
Respondents will not offer any evidence in this action that in-person voter fraud has in fact occurred in Pennsylvania or elsewhere...
Respondents will not offer any evidence or argument that in-person voter fraud is likely to occur in November 2012 in the absence of the Photo ID law.
Does the Constitution permit a voter ID requirement based solely upon "reports" that suggest a "risk" of fraud that "may" occur? Does the Constitution permit implementation of a restrictive voting test in the absence of any proof that in-person voter fraud has occurred before in the jurisdiction or will occur again? Evidently. Citing the Supreme Court's rationale in Crawford, Judge Simpson wrote: "I conclude that the absence of proof of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania is not by itself dispositive."

Grab video code:
Hey, what is up everybody I am Clarissa Santiago, some of you might know me from the pageant direct of Latina New York, USA. Others might know me from the being the American princess on the official reality show American princess on week TV all of you can find me at Clarissa-Santiago.net. Today we are here at john ricard studio and I am going to talk to you about lightings. Now of course John knows way more about lighting than I do but what you rather see me telling you about it. Well, first we are going to start with lighting as I mentioned Stevens's big old thing here this lighting is use by live photographers where special types of lighting can be technical we are going to try it today. But, this cost thousands of dollars and you do not need this to get the type of effect that we are going to show you today. So get ready because it is about to get real hot in here and we are back and what we have here today are three on camera flashes. We are going to be using this today to get the lighting effect that you would get from the big thousands of lights so you will see the effects that we are about to do.
The thing about it is that a lot of you probably have this right in your own house. What we are going to show you are how to use the unicameral flash technique at home why you are listening, that is right no what is first. Now you might be wondering why we have three flashes well each one serves it purpose. The master flash is the one that we are going to use to slide right on to the camera. The master flash is going to control the power in our remote flashes. The first thing that we want to do is take our master flash and put in wireless mode. To do this all we have to do is turn it on once it is on hold down the middle key. Once you are at this screen select master and holds until you are in wireless mode so now that we have our wireless master ready to go we want to change it to manual mode in order to do that we are going to select the mode button and keep pressing it until you get the M for manual.
So know that our master flash is set we want to go ahead and set our remote flashes in order to do that all you have to do is hold down the select button. Hold down the select button to this screen once you are here push it again and now we are going to scroll down to the word remote hold down the middle button again so now the slash gives in remote mode. Now we are going to set our second flash so again we are going to hold down the middle button until we get this screen. Once we are here we are going to hold it down again we are going to select remote mode push down the middle button and now both of our flashes are in remote mode. You might wonder why this flashes are in manual mode well that is because each flashes operating manual mode and not TTO. So we make this flash manual mode as well so now that our camera is set up and we got our master flash set on here we want to pull the bounce part so that we make the lighting really soft. Then we want to put remote flashes on both sides of our cam this year. We are going to take our remote flash, we are going to direct it towards the wall so that it keeps the wall nice and quite, and there are no any shadows. Now I am going to change let us take some pictures.
John Ricard: All right, can we do this I am going to camera to your own for a minute, just do as you possible to you I am not going to over direct you, are you ready?
Clarissa Santiago: Okay, sounds great.
John Ricard: Wait, shoot something this side on. Give me some more clouds there. One more time. Okay.
Okay, thank you so much for hanging out with me remember I am Clarissa Santiago Clarissa-Santiago.net or of course the wonderful world of myspace.com/csfvmpref. So that concludes our show today our three light set up. Now you know how to do this lighting so go and do a good job make sure you let us know how it looks we want to see okay and that was on set with John Ricard. So I will make sure you tune in next time and we will talk about this wire here that is basically never mind we will leave it for the next show take care, bye.
So I am here at NYBJJ this is were I train in Brazilian jujitsu in New York city ad I am doing some pictures for him today and I am going to actually be using the same system that Clarissa showed a few minutes ago. So what we have here is our Nikon D3 and our SE800 flash and then we have another flash here, which is going to be bounce on to our white sealing and we have a second waterless flash set up here. And this is all we are going to be using to take these pictures so those are rather interesting mode on this flash that I like to use sometimes. So this is going to be the main flash that when it is mounted on the camera, I am going to put it on the wireless mode now. And I am going to tell the flash that it is the master and you see this little doted line here what that means is that this master flash is going to trigger my A flash and my B flash but it is not going to add any light to the picture. I cannot light that mode because if I want to move closer to the subject or move further away I am not adding any light from my flash because if I did each time I move closer I be putting up more light when I back up I been putting out I been putting put less light.
So this gives me the freedom to move with any worrying how much light I am putting out with the flash that is on the camera. All of the lighting is coming from my A flash here and my B flash here and I am going to start the light checks right now as Mark goes and Vita work out the techniques. So let us just break the first technique down into four to six steps. Mark just let me know like step one and two and this--.
[Cross talk]
That is good that is going to work so that is going to be the first sequence so just keep reminding me just go a little bit slow because I am using battery CSI if we are going to wait from the recycle. It will be little slower, right I will count. You are going to go one picture then I am going to say go to two. So you notice this system by having this flash set to the dashes here, I do not know if we see in that on the camera. Hopefully, we are again this flash is not putting out any light. All it is doing is triggering use two flashes and that made me closer or further back with out any light from this flash. You know the other thing you have to be careful of when you are bouncing light like this you have a bouncing of the white wall. I am getting the proper because the wall is not real white and it is producing kind a orange tent usually I would have use the expo disk attachment. You are going to look up online, I guess you put the expo disk on the lens and do a test shot for you white balance. So it gives you the correct colors I did not do that today so what I did instead was I left the expo disk by mistake. So, I am shooting on a row mode down here and in row I can put it in light room or something and make a few adjustments to the color and get the skin a little bit feather. But, and hold that two shots, now stay there good try the other side the this right, okay, good.

Oxymoron - Sick want to take mutli vits and they are making me sick!
I'm New here and so glad to join this site for some much needed moral support through the severity of this damned Atkins diet.
I've done this diet before back in late 2008 successfully. I lost 10llbs in the first week and thereafter weight just kept falling off, that I had dropped from 12 stone to 10 stone in 1 and a half months.
5 years later its not so easy. Let's remember I was 29 back then, faster metabolism etc..Being nearly 36 I've definitely noticed a change in my body where losing weight is concerned.
I was hoping for a miraculous loss like way back then. Nope! I am the 5th day and the dreaded flu started yesterday and has been off and on today - bear in mind I didnt get the flu when I first tried Atkins out...
So , with all this flu, I've also weighed myself - no change! Just stalled.. I'm ok with that as i feel.it could be water. I'm eating just below 20 net carbs a day all within the Atkins induction allowed food list. So I'm gonna be patient.
Wrapping this post up - What is bothering me, is the sickness. Apparently you can eat a few nuts or bits of fruit. However, I dont want to take that risk. Thankfully multi vitamins help according to this healthy.living site I was on...Problem is the vits are now starting to make me more sick than the ketosis flu!
So now what?
I need help guys. I'm not giving up but I don't think its right for human being to go through this :(
I know, for me, I can not take supplements on an empty stomach or I feel ill all day. Make sure you're eating something when you take them:)
Also, some people do better with a supplement without iron. If yours has iron, you might need to switch it out with another without it.
I'm the same - can't take on an empty stomach or I'm sick all day. I think that broth would help.
In addition to making sure I don't take them on an empty stomach, I use a pill cutter and split my multi into 1/4's.
And then take one quarter at a time throughout the day. Lots easier on my stomach.
Guys, thanks!
I like the idea of chopping up the pills and taking them throughout day. Don't know why I never thought of that!
P.s. making the chicken broth pronto as I can't take this anymore - might throw some grated cheddar in there!

Tickets: $12 (or purchase of a Rick Steves' item from Book Passage) In his lecture, travel writer and public television host Rick Steves takes us on a journey of discovery to better understand this perplexing nation whose government so exasperates America, and to better understand the 70 million people who call Iran home. Steves captures Persian culture vividly: from Friday prayer in a mosque to non-conformist teen fashions at the mall; from anti-American murals to the hospitality of a family dinner; and from the tranquility of rural life to the crazy traffic of modern Tehran. And most importantly, Steves helps us understand the fears and passions of the Iranian people—to humanize a proud and ancient nation that has been a leader in its corner of the world for 2,500 years and will continue to make headlines.

Reese and David are not normal teens--not since they were adapted with alien DNA by the Imria, an extraterrestrial race that has been secretly visiting Earth for decades. Now everyone is trying to get to them: the government, the Imria, and a mysterious corporation that would do anything for the upper hand against the aliens. Beyond the web of conspiracies, Reese can't reconcile her love for David with her feelings for her ex-girlfriend Amber, an Imrian.

The New York Times bestselling authors of Mrs. Kennedy and Me share the stories behind the five infamous, tragic days surrounding JFK's assassination—alongside revealing and iconic photographs—published in remembrance of the beloved president on the fiftieth anniversary of his death. Clint Hill will forever be remembered as the lone secret service agent who jumped onto the car after President Kennedy was shot, clinging to its sides as it sped toward the hospital. Even now, decades after JFK's presidency, the public continues to be fascinated with the Kennedys—America's royal family. To mark the fiftieth anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, Hill recounts his indelible memories of those five days leading up to, and after, that tragic day in November 1963. Hill, as Jackie's guard, experienced those days firsthand. Alongside the famous photos everyone is familiar with, Hill provides a moment-to-moment narration evoking the feelings and emotions behind the images—clearing up the persistent conspiracy misconceptions along the way. He also shows us the little-seen photos of Jackie both before and after the terrible event, describing the poignant moments they shared, during that pivotal moment in history. Told movingly by a man who still wishes he could undo it all, Five Days in November ($27.00) is a rare and deeply personal look at the assassination that affected the entire world and changed the United States forever. Clint Hill is a retired United States Secret Service agent who will forever be remembered for his courageous actions in the presidential motorcade during the John F. Kennedy assassination. Assigned to protect Jacqueline Kennedy, Hill remained with Mrs. Kennedy and the children for one year after the tragedy. Proudly and humbly serving five presidents—Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford—Hill rose through the ranks of the most elite protective force in the world, during the tumultuous time that encompassed the Vietnam War, the assassinations of JFK, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy, and Watergate. He retired in 1975 as Assistant Director, United States Secret Service, responsible for all protective forces. In 2012, he penned his remarkable memoir, Mrs. Kennedy and Me, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller.Lisa McCubbin is the coauthor of the New York Times bestsellers, Mrs. Kennedy and Me and The Kennedy Detail. An award-winning journalist, she has been a television news anchor and reporter, hosted her own radio show, and spent more than five years in the Middle East as a freelance writer.

We have a planfor every budget
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 10, 2014 - In an effort to provide kids across the globe with an interactive adventure story, one of the nation's top app creation companies has released an interactive adventure story with audio narration, character voices and coloring pages.
"Super-Spies is more than an adventure story," said Nick Kime, spokesman for TouchActionApps LLC. "The storybook application reads the story out loud as kids read along with the text on screen."
The company spokesman went on to note that after their father tucks them into bed, they sneak out of the room and into their Super Secret Super Spy lair.
The launching of Super Spies Adventures could prove to have perfect timing.
In addition, more than 80 percent of the c in the iTunes store, are created specifically for children under the category of education and adventure, and priced at $.99, the same price as Super Spies Adventures.
In a recent study conducted by PBS, apps have multiple educational benefits for children.
Technology isn't going anywhere, and when children use age appropriate apps on devices such as the iPad, they are learning to use the tools that will become more and more part of daily life in the future, the study said.
"The educational aspect of our Super Spies Adventures app is that the text is displayed on screen and the narrator also reads the text out loud," Kime said.
As to why parents should purchase and download Super Spies Adventures for their kids, Kime said, "We take a very different and innovative approach in creating applications. Instead of considering the graphics and strategy first we think about the physical actions and gestures."

Editor's note: Ellen Bravo is executive director of Family Values @ Work Consortium, a nonpartisan, nonprofit network of 21 state and local coalitions working toward policies such as paid sick days and family leave insurance.
(CNN) -- I say, "good mother."
You say, "warm, loving, patient, generous, protecting, wise, how on Earth does she do it" and a whole lot more.
The one word that might not pop up in this free association? "Fired."
And yet in the United States of America in 2014, being a good mother can cost you your job.
Ask Rhiannon Broschard of Chicago, who was "separated" from her employer after public schools closed because it was so cold, it was dangerous for kids to be outside. Broschard knew that she couldn't leave her special-needs son home alone and called in to say she couldn't come into work. Her manager was sympathetic. But the next day, a company representative phoned to let her know she'd been fired for "abusing" their attendance policy. Others had come in; why hadn't she?
It's hard to see how being a good mother and safeguarding your child's well-being gets characterized as abuse.
Or consider Brenda in Milwaukee, who lost her job after giving birth. Her employer has fewer than 50 employees and wasn't covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act, which would have guaranteed Brenda unpaid, job protected leave for up to 12 weeks to care for her newborn. Although the Pregnancy Discrimination Act says employers can't fire someone for being pregnant, it doesn't require them to hold a job while a mother recovers from the delivery unless they do so for other disability-related absences. Treating everyone badly -- as they did at Brenda's workplace -- is often perfectly legal.
In fact, nearly one in four workers (PDF) told researchers they'd been fired or threatened with firing after taking time to care for themselves or a loved one.
As Amy Crosby will remind you, many pregnant women wind up jobless because their employer refuses to make a simple accommodation when they're pregnant. In Crosby's case, that meant less heavy lifting in her job as a cleaner at a hospital in Tallahassee, Florida. For others, it has meant a stool to sit on or a few extra bathroom breaks.
"Homeless" or "broke" also don't come to the top of the list when we're thinking about characteristics of a good mother. But many moms like Shelby Ramirez of Denver find themselves unable to pay the bills after even a few weeks without income because they're caring for a child or parent, or both.
A lot of words rush to my mind when I hear about situations like these: "outrageous, antifamily, bad for the economy, how have they gotten away with it or so long," to name a few.
The mothers who've lost a job have their own powerful descriptions of that experience. Broschard said it "made me feel disposable, that they didn't value any of the time I put into the company." Crosby said the lack of consideration made her feel "hopeless."
Their experiences have propelled many mothers like Broschard, Crosby and Ramirez to get involved with a movement to win new workplace rules. They have seen or heard about good employers that have these policies, not just because it's the right thing to do but because it's good for the bottom line. They lead to better individual and public health and greater financial security for families, businesses and the nation.
But these women also understand that not all companies have good policies, so there must be laws that create minimum protections for everyone. Now they're fighting for state or national legislation requiring paid sick days, fairness for pregnant workers, expanded access to family and medical leave, and a shared fund to make it affordable.
Their activism has brought these women a new vocabulary they want to pass on to other mothers.
"They probably think just like how I did: We're (in) a low-paid job, and who's going to listen?" Crosby said. "I want them to know that they have to stand up and make a change."
Broschard told me she's sharing her story "so all the other moms going through similar situations, struggling, going to school, single, not having enough money, (know) you're not alone. We all struggle, but we're struggling to make a better life for our children."
"I want (my son) to know that I didn't do anything wrong in this situation. I want him to know there are lots of people like Mommy. I want him to know I'm strong and he can follow in my footsteps."
That's what being a good mother is.

Real Estate News: Illinois home sales, median prices show gains in September
Staff Report
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Home sales increased 15.9 percent over previous-year levels in September, extending a run of more than a year of sales gains, according to the Illinois Association of Realtors (IAR).
The strong sales report was coupled with data showing the median price of a home in the state rose 2.2 percent.
Statewide home sales (including single-family homes and condominiums) in September 2012 totaled 10,689 homes sold, up from 9,220 in September 2011. IAR has seen year-over-year sales increases since July 2011.
The statewide median price in September was $139,000, up 2.2 percent from September 2011, when the median price was $136,000. The median price of an Illinois home has increased 13.6 percent from January 2012's median price of $122,350. The median is a typical market price where half the homes sold for more and half sold for less.
"If there is a headline from the first nine months of 2012, it is one of continued market stabilization," said Michael D. Oldenettel, CRS, GRI, and managing broker/owner with RE/MAX Results Plus in Jacksonville, Ill. "The prices, interest rates and consumers' feelings about the economy are fueling improvements in the housing market."
The monthly average commitment rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage for the North Central region was 3.49 percent in September 2012, down from 3.60 percent during the previous month, according to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. Last September, it averaged 4.09 percent.
In the nine-county Chicago Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA), home sales (single-family and condominiums) in September 2012 totaled 7,484 homes sold, up 24.0 percent from September 2011 sales of 6,035 homes. The median price in September 2012 was $160,000 in the Chicago PMSA, unchanged from September 2011. The median price of a home in the Chicago area in September was $20,000 above January 2012's median price of $140,000.
"Given the uncertainties in the economy, with the forthcoming election contributing significantly, the housing market has performed well in the last quarter," said Geoffrey J.D. Hewings, director of the Regional Economics Applications Laboratory at the University of Illinois. "While month-over-month sales were down in September, the year-over-year sales were up and prices continued their modest recovery."
Forty-five of 102 Illinois counties reporting showed year-over-year home sales increases in September 2012. Forty-four counties showed year-over-year median price increases including DuPage, up 2.6 percent to $200,000; JoDaviess, up 3.9 percent to $140,250; Kane, up 2.3 percent to $135,000; Kendall, up 6.0 percent to $157,875; McLean, up 3.9 percent to $160,000; Peoria, up 8.8 percent to $130,000; and Sangamon, up 4.3 percent to $125,000.
The city of Chicago saw a 23.2 percent year-over-year home sales increase in September 2012 with 1,845 sales, up from 1,498 in September 2011. The condo market in the city of Chicago showed a sales increase of 32.2 percent, going from 855 units sold in September 2011 to 1,130 sales in September 2011. The median price of a home in the city of Chicago in September 2012 was $188,900, off 0.6 percent compared to September 2011, when it was $190,000.
"On one hand, we're having great success because we're seeing many more sales come to close, but the price points are lagging behind where we'd like to see them," said Realtor Zeke Morris, president of the Chicago Association of Realtors and operating principal and managing broker, Keller Williams Realty, CCG. "Prices are in line with the amount of distressed product that's still out there; we have to work through that inventory. We should continue to try to stabilize the lower half of the market, particularly the condo market in the city, which to a large extent is a function of consumer confidence and jobs."
Sales and price information is generated by Multiple Listing Service closed sales reported by 31 participating Illinois Realtor local boards and associations including Midwest Real Estate Data LLC data as of Oct. 7, 2012, for the period Sept. 1-30, 2012. The Chicago PMSA, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, includes the counties of Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will.
The IAR is a voluntary trade association whose 41,000 members are engaged in all facets of the real estate industry. In addition to serving the professional needs of its members, the IAR works to protect the rights of private property owners in the state by recommending and promoting legislation to safeguard and advance the interest of real property ownership.

Southern Missouri Bancorp Reports Preliminary Fiscal 2013 Second Quarter And Year-to-date Results, Declares Dividend Of $0.15 Per Common Share, Schedules Conference Call To Discuss Results For January 29 At 3:30pm CST
Total liabilities increased $26.8 million to $671.3 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of 4.2% as compared to $644.5 million at June 30, 2012. This growth was primarily the result of an increase in deposit accounts and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
Deposits increased $21.6 million, or 3.7%, to $606.4 million at December 31, 2012, as compared to $584.8 million at June 30, 2012. Of the increase, $7.8 million was attributable to public unit funds, and was somewhat seasonal in nature. Increased balances were noted in interest-bearing checking, noninterest checking, and certificate of deposit balances, partially offset by a decline in savings accounts. The average loan-to-deposit ratio for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was 105.8%, as compared to 94.6% for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
FHLB advances were $24.5 million at December 31, 2012, unchanged in comparison to June 30, 2012; however, overnight FHLB advances were utilized during the first six months of fiscal 2013 (the average amount of overnight borrowings was $11.5 million). Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $30.9 million at December 31, 2012, as compared to $25.6 million at June 30, 2012, an increase of 20.7%, attributable mostly to seasonal inflows from public units. At both dates, the full balance of repurchase agreements was held by local small business and government counterparties.
The Company's stockholders' equity increased $4.2 million, or 4.4%, to $98.9 million at December 31, 2012, from $94.7 million at June 30, 2012. The increase was due primarily to retention of net income, partially offset by cash dividends paid on common and preferred stock.Income Statement Summary: The Company's net interest income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, was $7.3 million, an increase of $9,000, or 0.1%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, net interest income was $14.8 million, a decrease of $49,000, or 0.3%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. For the three-month period, the increase, as compared to the prior fiscal year, was attributable to an increase in net interest margin, from 4.12% to 4.17%, partially offset by a 1.1% decline in the average balance of interest-earning assets. For the six-month period, the decrease, as compared to the prior fiscal year, was attributable to a decline in the net interest margin, from 4.27% to 4.23%, partially offset by a 0.4% increase in average interest-earning assets. In December 2010, the Company acquired from the FDIC, as receiver, most of the assets and substantially all of the liabilities of the former First Southern Bank (the Acquisition). Accretion of fair value discount on loans and amortization of fair value premiums on time deposits related to the Acquisition declined from $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to $366,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The change in this component reduced net interest income by $637,000 and net interest margin by 36 basis points for the current quarter as compared to the year ago period. Accretion of fair value discount on loans and amortization of fair value premiums on time deposits related to the Acquisition declined from $2.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2012 to $895,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2013. The change in this component reduced net interest income by $1.3 million and net interest margin by 36 basis points for the current fiscal year to date as compared to the year ago period. The Company expects the impact of the fair value discount accretion to continue to decline, over time, as the assets acquired at a discount continue to mature or prepay.

In the Sept. 12 edition of the Coeur d'Alene Press the following passage was included: "Souza said as mayor, she would vote whichever way the public favored on highly charged topics when the opinion is stacked on one side, regardless of how she feels personally." I have waited several days to make sure that she did not want to retract that statement or assert that she was misquoted. To my knowledge, she has not done so. As to that statement, it is clear to me that God gave each person the capacity to form and hold moral values. He also gave each person the free will to act on those moral values. Failing to act on moral values one holds has the same effect as having no moral values. For Ms. Souza to assert ahead of time that she would go with the flow if elected is not leadership but rather a preemptive forfeiture of leadership/Norm Gissel, letter to the editor, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here. (SR file photo: Norm Gissel, foreground, and Tony Stewart)
Although he never mentioned Councilman Dan Gookin by name or his dust-up with City Administrator Wendy Gabriel, Coeur d'Alene attorney Norm Gissel warned City Council members to avoid creating a hostile work environment for staff. Speaking during the public comments period of the council meeting Tuesday, Gissel, a long-time leader in the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations, said: "All of you have an affirmative duty to make sure none of you harass staff." On Thursday, Gookin fired off an email to Gabriel in which he belittled her for failing to alert him before a story appeared on the Coeur d'Alene Press Web site that Team McEuen had proposed a change to boat-trailer parking in the McEuen Field upgrade. Gissel recommended that council members "get ahold of counsel and review matters pertaining to a hostile environment."
The Task Force has listened to Neville Chamberlain style assertions for all the years of its existence. In fact the comment "If you don't say anything about the Nazis, they will simply go away" is by far the most common criticism the Task Force hears. The opposite is true and will always be true. The Nazis themselves regard community silence as a cultural affirmation of their atrocious actions and beliefs. The victims of the Nazis also regard community silence as a community's affirmation of the actions that harm them. In this context, both the Nazis and their victims are right. To our knowledge the editors of the Press have never argued that we should be silent around child abuse and child abusers, rape and rapists, theft and thieves, murder and murderers, arson and arsonists, etc, etc, etc. But we should be silent around Racists and their criminal activities when they occur? No. No not now and no not ever/Norm Gissel, Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations. More here. (SR file photo of Norm Gissel with Tony Stewart in background)
Question: Do you think the work of the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations is almost finished?
I just returned from the noon luncheon of the Kootenai County Democratic Club for NIC trustee candidates, where Norm Gissel asked about a hypothetical situation that was disallowed by moderator Mary Lou Reed. Who didn't think it was relevant to the trustee races. But candidate Ron Nilson answered it anyway. In the hypothetical, Norm asked the 4 candidates what they would do about an individual who stole trees that supported children's education. Nilson said: "No way should anyone enter public land & take timber that belongs to our kids." Rep. Phil Hart's name wasn't mentioned once. But everyone knew who Norm & Ron were talking about.

Question: Would the Aryan Nations still be a significant presence in Kootenai County, if Richard Butler and his organization hadn't been sued into bankruptcy?

- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
- 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 4 cloves shallots, chopped
- 2 cups white wine
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
- 1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 pounds (20/30 count) sea scallops
- 1 1/2 pounds (16/20 count) shrimp peeled and deveined with tails left on
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds cooked pasta or rice, for an accompaniment
- 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano
Special Equipment: A fine strainer
In a large saute pan, heat 1/4 cup oil and cook garlic and shallot until translucent, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine, and add parsley, basil and thyme and let the liquid reduce by half. Using a fine strainer, strain the reduction into a clean saucepan and add the cream. Over low heat, let the sauce reduce to medium thickness. To the now empty saute pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, saute scallops, cook until opaque and remove to a utility platter in a warm place. Then use the same pan to saute shrimp just until pink, and remove to the utility platter. Add cream sauce to saute pan to toss the drained pasta or rice with the cream sauce and seafood, reserving a few scallops and shrimp for the top. Transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with cheese, as garnish. Arrange shrimp and scallops on top and garnish with basil sprigs.

For those of you that say it doesn't taste......Fresh Herbs is the key......also you can use vegi pasta for an extra kick or to change it up...like spinach or tomato!...
For all the comments saying it is bland, question? How old are you, (taste buds dull with age), and do you smoke? I quit smoking 6 years ago and now my taste buds are MUCH more sensitive and my palate that much more refined. I tasted nothing bland in this recipe. Just my .02...
Any recipe of Robert's that i have tried is Simply AWESOME !!!
The guys that say it came out Bland or Soupy sorry but You must have done something wrong....
I miss Robert Irvine on Dinner Impossible!!! I truly wish he were back. Sucks about him over-stating his resume as the recipes he has are VERY GOOD!! Not that I don't like Michael Simon - just Robert had more attitude & emotion doing the show. If they had re-named the show to something else, I probably wouldn't compare. I hope Robert shows up on another show - many have made the same mistake as he did & were able to recover!!...
Thank you! your flag was submitted.

FEW UK CFOs think their company is effective at managing investments across markets with significantly different growth rates according to a report from Ernst & Young
In a survey of over 750 CFOs world-wide two thirds of UK CFOs replied that they do not believe their organisation is good at balancing resource allocation between developed and rapid-growth markets.
The report added that most UK CFOs also lack confidence in communicating this investment balance across divergent markets to the investor community.
Les Clifford, partner and chair of E&Y's CFO Programme in the UK and Ireland, said that CFOs need "to manage a very difficult and complex equilibrium across markets which are very different in terms of their characteristics, risk/return profile and performance horizons.
"This balancing act, at a time when competition for capital is so fierce, also requires the CFO to focus on a communication strategy that gives the investor comfort that management are in control of what they are doing in these diverse markets."

i think the rip curl h-bomb is just the tip of the heated suit revolution.
zach, i too began surfing in the late 80's/early 90's. i was, however, lucky enough to be born into a surfing family. my father began surfing in the mid-60's & was very involved in getting the old ocsa (ocean city surfing assoc.) organized, in getting nssa up & running on the east coast, & even was a judge for the asp east for a time. in the mid 80's, he took the nssa national team to south africa along w/ ian cairns & a couple others. a 16 year old todd holland was a member of that team.
b/c he got to live thru the shortboard revolution & shaped a bit, he's always been interested in design & the theory behind it. he started riding bonzers in the early 90's, not long after the bros. campbell came out w/ the first 5 fins. it only took me about 15 years or so to follow suit (despite the fact that he kept telling me, "you really outta try one of these, i think you'd really like it"). so i got really lucky as far as all that goes.
I was lucky enough to start in the early 80s and rode most of today's 'retro' shapes when they were cutting edge. one of the reasons I passed on the retro revolution of today is because I really didn't like the way they rode. IMO there's a reason those shapes died out in favor of the thruster and only marketing brought them back today.
The really smart shapers took only the best qualities of those dated shapes and incorporated them with modern designs (like the ...Lost RNF).
As far as suits.......spray on suits FTW!!
I am also part of a Surfing Family. My dad surfed and got me hooked on it . I really didnt get serious about it til I was about 13 or 14 thats when I started surfing year round. It amazing how far wetsuits have come since then . My first winter suit was a bulky Ripcurl 5/4/3 back zip from shoulder to shoulder . It was Blue and black and so uncomfortable.
zach that was welll put. yea i kinda know what you mean, during the winter i ride the same boards and the same like 2 breaks usually haha 5'10 pintail toothpick board and a 6'0 squash. both thrusters and they are what i perform best on. the retro fish is just for fun in the summer
and the lost rnf board is a sweet board but its not really like a retro fish its more like a hybrid. its like half as thick as my retro quad
great article i found about the future of wetsuit innovation i didnt read the whole thing tho
mad burnt but i skipped to the endish and it basically answered all my Q:
thanks gooogle
Definitely wetsuits have drastically improved and cost less now (and should continue into the future) why there are so many more folks surfing year round in colder climates.
I wonder if there will be some innovations like at Wikiki beach where thousands of newbies want to learn surf but get exhausted in the paddle out/paddling in? Sort of like a ski lift for out of shape or wannabe surfers)? After all, that is usually the hardest part of surfing for beginners anyway (paddle endurance). Just thinking up some crazy stuff here.

A prominent Syria analyst has told Al Jazeera that President Bashar al-Assad's forces have a "serious advantage" over opposition fighters, after the fall of Homs to the government.
Joshua Landis, director of the Centre for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma, said the Syrian army and its allies have benefitted from centralised command and support from Iran and Russia.
After their "very important" gains in Homs, the Syrian armed forces would concentrate on retaking Aleppo, Landis said.

Top Local Tips for Houston
Dining tips... Brennan's (expensive) and Antone's (cheap) Brennan's was a really fun place to have dinner. Beautiful, large patio under a big tree, nicely lit and appointed dining room, excellent crab cakes! Best I ever had. Feels very old Houston circa 1967. Offshoot of the New Orleans restaurant, but apparently they have since parted ways. Very friendly hostess. On the opposite end of the price spectrum, if you want an authentic, extremely tasty po'boy sandwich, try Antone's. Great, very local fast food, very popular. The Philly Sandwich was amazing. Other sandwiches were almost as tasty. And pre-made! Really low prices. NIce, clean. With numerous locations.
Fun Experience I have recommended the Galleria shopping center in Houston to many people for years. I usually get the "Oh, sure, well after all, doesn't EVERY city have a Galleria-style mall?" My answer is "Maybe" because when I shop at the Houston Galleria, the selection is always plentiful and the experience is top-notch. There are may more shops to choose from than the average mall. Most of the shop personnel know what Southern hospitality is and I always get personalized service. Try it sometime and be pleasantly surprised.
Shuttle service to Galleria The hotel offers shuttel service to the Galleria for shopping; I did not use this service but thought it was a nice amenity to offer guests.
