Slating: Becoming chosen one doesn't carry weight it once did
By Natasha Korecki Political Reporter Twitter @natashakorecki December 8, 2012 1:08PM
State Sen. Donne Trotter leaves after posting bond at the Cook County Criminal Courts Building in Chicago, Ill., on Thursday, December 6, 2012. | Andrew A. Nelles~Sun-Times Media
South Suburban College, 5800 State Street South Holland,
10:30, Saturday Dec. 15
Candidates will have five minutes to make their pitch and committeemen will have 10 minutes to ask questions.
Committeemen will go into caucus. When they reach a 50 percent plus one consensus on a candidate, they will come out and vote for his or her individual.

Updated: January 10, 2013 6:39AM
On Saturday, more than half a dozen Democratic contenders for Jesse Jackson Jr.'s seat will make their best pitch to be slated as the Cook County Democratic Party's chosen candidate.
The candidate to snag more than half the vote from a cadre of ward and township committeemen will be deemed the slated candidate.
The question then becomes: how much does slating matter?
"The best thing one can say is over the last 30 years, slating has become less and less and less important, except in some small jurisdictions and some of the places where you have very powerful ward organizations," said Chicago political consultant Don Rose.
In the heyday of slating — the 1960s and 1970s — Rose said getting slated as the party's candidate meant 80 percent of the election was over. It spoke to the strength of local ward and township bosses and to what was at stake for foot soldiers who didn't play along — potentially hundreds of patronage jobs.
"In the old days, you had to give your all. The organization was important. The organization was powerful," Rose said. "There was patronage at stake, so you damn well wanted to deliver. If you didn't deliver it could cost you your job."
That's changed because of more stringent rules keeping politics out of many public jobs, Rose said.
There is one thing that slating does still do, however, Rose says.
It puts a candidate into the very top tier.
That's something sorely needed as the field of candidates interested in running for the 2nd Congressional seat special election grows increasingly crowded.
There's a short window for someone with no name recognition to build momentum and raise money. Combine that with lackluster voter turnout in special elections — there was just 18 percent turnout in the City of Chicago in the 2009 special election primary, won by U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley — and slating may look appealing.
"We have 15 on the list," said Thornton Township Committeeman Frank Zuccarelli, who is heading the slating effort. "The list is made up of those who have talked to the media or talked to an individual [committeeman]."
State Sen. Donne Trotter had the edge in the slating — until he was arrested last week for allegedly attempting to bring a weapon on a plane. For now, Trotter remains in the race.
But the episode may very well put Saturday's slating back up for grabs.
Others who have announced their candidacy: Ald. Anthony Beale, former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson, state Sen.-elect Napoleon Harris, state Sen. Toi Hutchinson, former state Rep. Robin Kelly and former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds.
"My guess is they're not going to be able to get together and agree on a single candidate," Rose said. "I think there's too much competition and everyone has a favorite son or daughter in that race."
If most of the group is unable to reach consensus, then it is possible no one will be slated.
Halvorson, who lost to Jackson in the Democratic primary earlier this year, said she would not even attempt to get party's endorsement.
"They think: 'if we slate somebody, then everybody else will disappear,' " Halvorson said. "That's a shame, because this is the people's seat. They have no power to get anybody else out."
But Zuccarelli said everyone who is interested would be interviewed for the endorsement.
The candidate will need to target the loyal Democrats who come out for these kinds of elections.
Zuccarelli's organization remains powerful and had publicly backed Trotter — that is, before his arrest. The benefit of a powerful organization in a special election, insiders say, is that it has already identified faithful, lifelong Democrats who will go to the polls no matter what.
Quigley, however, remains skeptical of the power of slating.
"I wasn't endorsed by a single ward organization, a single union and I was outspent 10 to 1 and I won by a couple of thousand votes," he said. Ultimately, no one was slated in the special election he won.
His secret to winning? He says he caught lightning in a bottle because of timing. He was known to his Cook County constituents as a reformer in a time right after Rod Blagojevich's criminal charges were coming to a head.
"TV was a waste because it's using a bazooka to hit very small target. Mail for us was more effective," he said. "It's just a little more of a chess game than a typical election."
The actual filing doesn't begin until Jan. 3, when candidates must present their petitions. Democrats must have 1,256 signatures, Republicans must have 288 signatures and new parties or independents would need 15,682.

No longer is the bedroom used just for sleeping- today's bedrooms double as home offices, exercise rooms, and, of course, places to hang out. The right bedroom lighting ensures that these activities can be done comfortably and easily. In addition to their practicality, bedroom light fixtures can also enhance the beauty of a bedroom and transform it from a simple area to a striking space. Bedroom lamps may make it easy to read at night- but they are also critical for creating a romantic ambiance in any bedroom. Bedroom ceiling fixtures provide the general lighting that is necessary in every room while adding a noticeable style element that can pull the room together. For additional lighting, bedroom wall fixtures add elegance and spotlighting to the most necessary areas.
Purchasing new bedroom lighting is an easy way to create a new look for any bedroom. Match your bedroom lighting to the master bathroom lighting, or choose unique fixtures to give the bedroom a look all its own.

Mumbai, the cricket capital of India, has seen Test matches played at three different grounds. The Bombay Gymkhana ground hosted the first ever Test in India, in 1933-34 against England. After WW-II, the Cricket Club of India's Brabourne Stadium was used for 17 Tests. However, due to a dispute between the CCI and the Bombay Cricket Association, the BCA built the 45000-capacity Wankhede Stadium, less than a mile away from the Brabourne Stadium.
It staged its first Test in the 1974-75 season when the Windies toured India. Clive Lloyd scored an unbeaten 242 and in Pataudi's last hurrah, India lost by 201 runs. The Test also featured a crowd disturbance after a fan who rushed onto the ground to greet Lloyd was treated roughly by the police. India's first victory here was posted against the New Zealand two seasons later. The stadium has been witness to great innings like Gavaskar's 205 against the Windies and Kallicharan's 187 in the same game in the 1978-79 series and all round heroics like Ian Botham's century and thirteen wickets in the Jubilee Test in 1980. which England won by ten wickets. The highest score by an Indian at Wankhede remains Vinod Kambli's 224 against England in 1992-93 in only his third Test. Incidentally Ravi Shastri's six sixes in an over off Baroda's Tilak Raj en route to the fastest double-hundred in first-class cricket was on this ground in 1984-85.
The seaside situation of the Wankhede stadium means that the swing bowlers get a fair amount of assistance during the early part of each day. The pitch has traditionally been full of runs, but it does help the spinners during the last couple of days, and in the last Test played on the ground, against Australia in 2005, the ball spun viciously from early on and this, coupled with low bounce, helped India win in under three days even though almost a whole day was lost to rain. The Wankhede stadium has stands named after famous Mumbai cricketers like Vijay Merchant, Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar.

2013 and earlier BMW 7-Series Lease Questions
miamivicing Posts: 10On Edmunds, an incentive I haven't seen yet has appeared, $3500 holiday money. The deal is listed as follows:
Leasing Incentive 1
Requirements and Restrictions:
•Down Payment: $3,500
•Security Deposit: $0
•Lease Cash: $4,250
•Annual Mileage: 10,000
•Loyalty Lease is based on the 2013 740i. MSRP as equipped is $74,195. $2,625 Dealer contribution and $4,250 Lease Cash are required for the $809 monthly payment. Lease Cash includes $750 (Loyalty Bonus Cash) and $3,500 (Holiday Bonus Cash). $5,034 due at signing. Tax, tags and insurance are extra. Must finance through BMW Financial Services.
I didn't check about the continued M package, but I am almost positive that it will be a continuing incentive (btw - it doesn't really cost them more). Also, the interest rates continue to be 3.29%, which I will assume based on this number that the lease/money factor is .00137 (3.29/2400) and is thus not changed from last month.
So, we got a new incentive. Let's see if we get another one during 1st week of Dec. GL! -

yes123 Posts: 11Hi Carman. Can you help. The dealer is trying to get me to take a car in stock rather than order to my liking. He says that if I take a car that has the M package (which I do want) and is built before august that it is a better deal because the MSRP is higher. He says this is because if it is built after august their is a credit on the window sticker for the M package thus bringing down the MSRP which affects the residual and thus the monthly lease price.
I have used a car lease calculator and the monthly payment stays the same regardless if the MSRP is higher or reduced for the M package credit.
I'd rather order the color I like rather than settle. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi yes123. Dealers usually try to steer consumers towards units that they have in stock and away from ordering vehicles. There's a number of reasons for this, including getting a vehicle that they are paying floorplan interest on out of their ASAP plus as the old saying goes a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. Dealers would rather finalize a deal now than wait on an ordered vehicle and risk having it fall apart.
How much more per month are they trying to charge you for an ordered car than one that's in stock? On an expensive car like this, I personally think that it's silly to settle for a color that you don't want for a few dollars per month. Perhaps you could visit another dealer or two to see if they have the exact car and color combination that you want in stock.

riz3216 Posts: 2Hi Carman and others
I am looking to lease a 2012 BMW 750 LI xdrive 2012 . The best offer i have found is $899 for 36-month and following specs:
includes Cold Weather Pkg, Luxury Seating Package, 19" wheels Sat Radio, Fine Line High Gloss Wood Trim and more. BMW FS lease with approved credit, $4500 cap cost reduction, 1st, lic, title, acq, tax and doc due at signing. Includes Owner Loyalty. Please see dealer for details.
Do you think this is a good deal. What do I need ask the dealer when negotiating this deal
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi rr4mywife. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 750i xDrive with 15,000 miles per year are .00125 and 53% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher.
There is a $3,500 holiday cash incentive available on this car right now. It can be combined with $750 owner loyalty cash and the free M Sport Package offers.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi riz3216. The easiest way to evaluate this deal would be to look at this car's MSRP and selling price. Do you have these figures? The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without these numbers it is more difficult to tell how large a dealer discount you are being given and in turn if there is any room left to negotiate.

doctorg24 Posts: 5Is it unrealistic to expect to get a 740Li xdrive at the advertised $889/month with $3500 down? I am trying to get a dealership to agree to those terms, but they are giving me the run around.
Also, are acquisition fees different at different dealerships, or are these guys trying to pull a fast one on me?

rialto11 Posts: 1Hello CarMan,
thank you for all the advice. I have ordered a 750ix, getting about 6% off Euro delivery MSRP. I have to lease it in order to get the $4250 rebate. I offered to provide 7 security deposits. What is a reasonable money factor , before the discount for the deposits( they offer a 56% residual for 36M, 10K/year).
Many thanks! -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi wiseguy33. BMW Financial Services' January buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 740Li with 10,000 miles per year are .00130 and 54% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2012 750Li are .00130 and 55%.
When negotiating your deal on either of these cars, make sure to take advantage of the $3,500 cash incentive that is currently available on leases of them.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi Doc . BMW charges a $725 acquisition fee on every vehicle that it leases. Dealers have the ability to mark this fee up by a couple hundred dollars and often do so. You should look at this mark-up essentially as part of your vehicle's purchase price.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515You're very welcome rialto11. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 750ix with 10,000 miles per year are .00130 and 55% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
Any reduction for multiple security deposits would come off of that factor.
I don't see a lot of Euro Delivery deals, so I'm not 100% positive that this special money factor is available on that sort of deal, but I believe that it is.

I am looking at a discounted leftover 2012 750i (regular wheelbase) and wanted to know the residuals and money factors for 10,000 and 12,000 miles per year. I'd imagine the residuals would be a little lower since its a 2012 and the 36 months would be up in 2016.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi Kevin. BMW Financial Services' February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 750i with 12,000 miles per year are .00100 and 52% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
The residual value for a lease with 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.
I believe that dealers were paid out $7,500 dealer cash on leftover 7s that they had in inventory, so make sure that you're getting a selling price that's well under dealer invoice on this car.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum -
kickazzz2000 Posts: 15Thanks Car_man,
I would imagine that the 13,000 off is due to the dealer cash. Certainly couldn't hurt to subtract another $7,500 from that total.
The car is $92,375 with $13,000 off right off the bat. Was hoping to score it for closer to 70K.
They have 7 of them on the lot discounted like that, so it does appear that they have a glut of inventory.
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Greetings rr4mywife. BMW Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 750ix with 15,000 miles per year are .00130 and 55% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
The residual value for a lease with 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher.
BMW is currently providing a $3,500 cash incentive on leases of this car through BMW FS.

rr4mywife Posts: 50Thank you Car_Man. Switching gears here ... went to the dealer yesterday and got the following quote on a 2013 740 LiX, with cold weather and M Sport (which is essentially free), BMW Apps:
- Sell price: 78,666
- Residual: 55%
NYS taxes (8.625%) rolled into the payment, 36 month lease at 15K miles per year:
Total upfront: 2,488 (1rst month, bank, tags, etc.)
Monthly: $1,098/month
Is this a good deal? I need to move on this by 3/31. Would appreciate any advise.

The release of Lair of the Wyrm, the expansion for Descent: Journeys in the Dark Second Edition, is now just over a week away! Over our series of previews, we have seen the Rumor card system, the valorous new Champion class, the temptation of Secret Rooms, and the powerful Geomancer class.
Today, we'll conclude our series with a glimpse of the overlord's nasty new tricks and minions, as well as some of the new equipment available to heroes brave enough to face the dreaded Wyrm Queen.
Fiery Foes
The Wyrm Queen Valyndra is a fire-breathing monstrosity capable of reducing her foes to smoldering ash. It's no surprise, therefore, that her minions share her affinity for the flame. In fact, one of her minions is fire itself! Fire Imps are living inferno, imbued with a mischievous desire to spread destruction. Their Flame Fiend ability not only lets them ignore the effects of lava and the "Burning" condition, but profit from it; each time a Fire Imp ends its turn in a space containing lava, it recovers one point of health.
But these nasty little ne'er-do-wells don't stop there. The Flame Imps' Burn ability lets them spread fire (in the form of the new "Burning" condition) to anyone they successfully attack, and their Combustible ability ensures an unpleasant surprise to anyone who kills one of them. When a master Flame Imp is defeated, it explodes, damaging everyone in the adjacent to it!
When Valyndra wants to cause real destruction, however, she sends her Hybrid Sentinels. These flying, half-dragon abominations boast the Fire Breath ability, allowing them to trace a path of magical flame and strike multiple heroes at once. What's more, their Prey on the Weak ability makes Hybrid Sentinels the bane of Mages and Healers. Each Hybrid Sentinel attack that targets a hero with two or less strength inflicts an additional point of damage.
A Dish Best Served Cold
Speaking of preying on the weak, the overlord's new Punisher class is designed to make the heroes pay for every step they take.
No Rest for the Wicked ensures that heroes cannot escape the minions of the overlord; for every fatigue a hero spends to gain a movement point, a monster may gain one for himself. With No Rest for the Wicked in play, a clever overlord can potentially match a hero's movements step for step!
Price of Prevention ups the ante, presenting the heroes with an unattractive choice: either suffer significant wounds, or allow the overlord to fish his favorite Event or Trap card out of his discard pile. Meanwhile, Blood Bargaining epitomizes the Punisher class's core philosophy: turning wins into losses. With it, each hero becomes blood bound to a specific monster for one round, during which whatever misfortunes befall the bound monster also befall the hero!
Fire Fighting
Fortunately for the heroes, they'll have plenty of powerful new equipment available at the shop. For example, warriors who often find themselves unable to chase down fleeing foes may want to hide a handbow up their sleeves. This handy trinket can make ranged attack without need to re-equip since it doesn't technically take one of your hero's hands to carry it.
For those who'd just as soon avoid a fight, Flash Powder makes for a quick, if dramatic, escape. Throw some at the feet of a nearby foe, and the blinding reaction will leave it stunned long enough for you to make a hasty retreat. Add the Merciful Boots (an Act II Shop card) to the equation, and you'll have a mobile medic that's an asset to any team.
These are just a few of the new Shop cards coming, but even with an array of powerful weapons and other items, will the heroes have what it takes to stand before the overlord's new minions? Look for Lair of the Wyrm on store shelves in just a few more weeks!

Andrew Baggarly said it best: "Giants lose 1-0 to Seattle. Let's take that 2:28 game time and stick it in the Xerox machine." 'Nuff said about today's game. Why is there so much interleague play in Spring Training, anyway?
On another note… it's International Women's Day. I don't really know why women need a day (isn't every day sort of International Women's Day?), but I hope you are all enjoying it.
I actually started writing this before I saw what day it is but now it seems even more relevant. Why do high heels at baseball games get such a bad rap?
Reasons I Have Read:
*You can't walk up flights of stairs in them
*They get dirty
*They look trashy
*You're just doing it to get attention
*And mostly, you couldn't be a real baseball fan
Those are all false/not good reasons to give 'em a bad rap.
*You can't walk up flights of stairs in them
Well, yes, actually, I can.
*They get dirty
Yes, they do. I ruined a pair of white shoes when someone spilled Coke on them at Dodger stadium. But that happens at parties too. Occupational hazard of wearing clothes or shoes is that they will get wear and tear.
*They look trashy
That depends on the heels. Not all heels are trashy.
*You're just doing it to get attention
I think we all dress to get attention, subconsciously. I think I dress to look nice. But yes, there is an attention thing in there somewhere.
*And mostly, you couldn't be a real baseball fan
And why not? Just because some people like wearing a giant team sweatshirt and 100 year old sneakers doesn't make them a real fan. If I wear a trench and scarf and skirt and heels, that doesn't make me a real fan. But it doesn't make me a fake fan either. It's not really about the clothes at all. The fact is that I am not a tomboy and I never have been. I have always been a formal dresser and I like heels 365 days a year. So will I wear that to a baseball game? Yes. That implies nothing about my level of interest of understanding of the game.
I would also just like to say that women who brag that they can talk stats as much as any man drive me crazy. If you can, all the power to you. I just don't think it needs to be relative. Some women like baseball, some men like baseball. Some women don't like baseball, some men don't like baseball. Personally, plenty of women and man can out-stat me. But I live and breathe and eat baseball (You know. Not literally. Do you know what those things are made of?) and I love learning about it. That's the kind of fan that I am.
The bottom line is that fans are fans. We all like different things about the game. We all dress differently. I wish fans could be a little more comfortable with that. It's 2011, beautiful people.
I'm curious to hear everyone's opinions on this. The questions in the title are really questions. Those are just my two cents.
Diamond Girl
p.s. Disclaimer: The only thing this does not apply to is people who call AT&T Park Pacbell Park. You are a certified fake fan (not to mention – sorry but it's true -a moron) if you call it that.

The final weekend
Baseball September 25th, 2009
So, this is it. Our last chance to go to Miller Park. It seems like only yesterday I was doing a countdown to Opening Day, telling you what not to wear and how to drink. Now? It's all over. If you haven't been to a game in awhile and want to get one last one in, stubhub has some truly crazy deals on tickets right now (Terrace for $.50, Field Infield Box for $15, Loge Infield for $10, Loge Diamond Box for $10, tons of deals). They might win, they might not. Doesn't really matter. Miller Park is a great place just to hang out. If you don't have faith in the team on the field just stay in the parking lot for the first four innings. I can't say I've never done it and I know you'll have a good time because it's ALWAYS a good time. Personally, I am happy with my last game of the season being Wednesday's game (and not just because I'm still hungover.) I got to see Prince go yard, a starting pitcher actually do a good job and Trevor Time. I can't think of a better way to remember this season than that (outside of flipping The Happy Youngster over the railing into the bullpen).
Speaking of my last game, something really weird happened at it: I met some readers and they were happy about it. "It's a pleasure to meet you" they said. My only reply? "Really? Seriously? You're kidding right?" I'm glad that people read this blog and I'm more glad that the people who read it really like it, but let's face the facts. I'm just another douchebag who spills his beer on a pregnant chick. Nothing to get excited about.
Anyways, enjoy the weekend gang. I'll be back Monday with more stuff, just like I'll be back every week all winter long. Just because the Brewers will be gone doesn't mean I suddenly have important stuff to do. Quite the opposite.

Police are seeking more leads from a July 20 case when the body of Louis West Jr., 21, of Cleveland was found unresponsive in the road around 2:30 a.m. at the intersection of Chrisman Avenue and Hadley Street.
When authorities arrived at the scene, officers said West appeared to be struck by a vehicle. Foul play has not been ruled out.
EMTs were called but their efforts proved unsuccessful.
In a separate incident, police are also seeking information from a July 23 shooting at Lee Street Liquor that occurred around 10 p.m.
Bingham said a lone individual wearing a red shirt and a mask walked into the store, where two clerks were working the front at the time.
The gunman shot one clerk in the right shoulder and then left the store. The case is not an armed robbery because the suspect did not take anything nor did he attempt to take anything.
Bingham and his officers are hard at work investigating both cases and said quite often the community plays a big role in cracking down on missing facts.
"We're hoping citizens can come forward with more leads — the police are asking for your help," said Bingham. "Even if people think their information is insignificant, it might just be the small link we're looking for."
Those with related information are urged to contact the CPD at 662-843-3611.
"Or they can call the Cleveland-Bolivar County CrimeStoppers hotline at 1-800-222-TIPS if they prefer not to speak with the police," said Bingham. "Everything is confidential and there's a possibility of a cash reward up to $1,000 if a suspect is arrested and prosecuted.
"We want to make sure we get more leads and solve these cases. Please call with any information related to these incidents."

Read more about Some of my Best Friends are Smiths to be performed by Union College Drama Crandall Library receives conservation bookshelf March 5, 2008 The Ella Johnson Crandall Memorial Library at Union College will be better able to preserve documents and artifacts for future generations thanks to a gift from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the primary source of federal funding for America's libraries and museums. Union's library is one of the first institutions to receive the IMLS Connecting to Collections Bookshelf, a set of books, DVDs and online resources. The Bookshelf addresses the philosophy and ethics of collecting, collections management and planning, emergency preparedness and culturally-specific conservation issues. "We are pleased to announce the first group of IMLS Bookshelf recipients," said Anne-Imelda Radice, director of IMLS. "These small libraries and museums are taking up the charge to care for America's heritage." The 2,000 recipients were chosen by IMLS and the American Association for State and Local History from among the nation's 122,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The IMLS Bookshelf is a crucial component of Connecting to Collections: A Call to Action (site: imls.gov), a conservation initiative launched in response to a 2005 study in which Union participated. The study documented the dire state of the nation's collections, especially those held by smaller institutions, which often lack the human and financial resources necessary to adequately care for their collections. "Without immediate action we stand to lose important collections that are at the heart of the American story," Radice said. Union received the Bookshelf based on an application that described the library's challenges and plans to care for its collection. The Crandall Library's Heritage Room contains publications, documents and artifacts which tell the stories of the college, the College View community and the Seventh-day Adventist Church. "Preserving our collection has been a big concern for us," said Sabrina Riley, library director. "The library staff has accomplished great things working with limited resources and opportunities, but we realize we can't attain all our goals on our own. The Bookshelf is a big first step toward securing the resources and training we need. It will enable us to better organize, manage and conserve the history entrusted to us."

Best known for his book and video series entitled The Evolution of a Creationist, Martin will present his view of the evolution and creationism debate in Lincoln during lectures at College View Academy, Union College and the College View Church. In The Evolution of a Creationist and his follow-up Incredible Creatures that Defy Evolution series, Martin presents the animals and evidence that led him to change his stance on evolution. According to Martin, creatures such as the bombardier beetle and giraffe rely on anatomical features for survival that would have to develop simultaneously in a single generation rather than the result of gradual adaptation over millions of years. Martin says these "incredible creatures" point to a Designer. Martin will first speak at a chapel service at College View Academy from 8:30-9:15 on Friday, Feb. 29. Then at 1:30 he will lecture the Origins class at Union College, a unique interdisciplinary course that invites students to think analytically and critically about how life began, how life changes and how science and religion interact. On Saturday, March 1, Martin will present his most in-depth lecture of the weekend at the College View Church from 3-5 p.m. in the Heartland Room. The lecture is free and the public is encouraged to attend. The church is located on the corner of 48th and Prescott; the Heartland Room is on the lower level.

Read more about New student government leadership chosen Senior Claudia Pech demonstrates range in art exhibit February 19, 2008 Beginning Feb. 17, The McClelland Art Gallery will showcase the works of Claudia Pech, senior communication and graphic design major. "It's just for fun," Pech explained. "Most of the senior exhibits I've seen are a mix of graphic design and fine arts. I didn't want to take away from my graphic design major so I decided to have two exhibits." In her first show titled "Random Thinkings," there will be at least 16 of her fine arts pieces ranging from watercolors, oil paintings, charcoal drawings to a few photographs. As a young girl, Pech planned on becoming an artist in Paris. Life soon got in the way and disrupted her aspirations. While in college, however, her dreams resurfaced and partially revitalized as she took every art class available at Union. "Art moves something within me," Pech said, "I hope my creations make people wonder, think or rememberâ€â€Âat least give them a different perspective." The McClelland Art Gallery is in the Ortner Center on the Union College campus, 3800 S. 48th Street. Enter the campus from Prescott Avenue. The art gallery is free to the public and open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact the Ortner Center at 402.486.2545.

From big names such the Peace Corps to the less well-known Active Community Team Services (ACTS), the information available to the attending students was invaluable. "I think this career fair is a great idea and helps a lot of people," said Jeremy Jones, sophomore international rescue and relief major. Although only 100-120 actually registered for the event, Doug Tallman, IRR associate director, noted that more likely 150-160 students, as well as some faculty, came to browse and meet recruiters. "I made more meaningful and intelligent contacts in two hours than I've seen in two days," commented Fred Ramsey from Re-Creation Unlimited who said he has done similar fairs at other campuses. "I was impressed. Union's event was the most successful compared to the other Seventh-day Adventist campus I have visited." Since the IRR program is relatively new, many students have a difficult time figuring out how best to utilize the skills they're learning. Tallman explained how this career fair targeted these students. "I think IRR majors benefit the most from the fair as far as putting them on a career path that goes with their major." Jones stated, "But, I think everyone can find something that's applicable to them." Plans are already being made to repeat the success of the Going Global Career Fair next year. Meghan Weese, a graduate assistant for the Outdoor Education Center at Southern Adventist University, encouraged students to attend the event. "The biggest mistake would be not coming," she said. Read more about Specialized Career Fair at Union College proves significant success Union College extends welcome to visiting students February 4, 2008 Gymfest Saturday night, Oct. 13, an audience gathered to enjoy a gymnastic performance hosted by Union College. It was the grand finale to training clinics hosted by Union College with cooperation from University of Nebraska—Lincoln for about 150 academy and middle school students from the Dakotas, Missouri, Colorado and Nebraska. The evening was jump-started by an exhibition of ring skills and tumbling from members of the gymnastic team from UNL. "It was amazing to be able to see people do flips like that," said Union student Kara McDaniel. Outside of UNL's special performance, each visiting school as well as Union College's Gymnaires performed solo routines followed by a presentation from the entire group. "The performance on Saturday was such a success!" Gymnaires' Courtney Haavisto said. "Everyone did great on their routines. It felt so awesome to see some of the moves performed that we helped [the kids] with." Union students, such as sophomore Savannah Bower, were surprised with how agile and flexible the athletes were. "I wish my body could move like that," she commented. "We have talented people on the team," Stephanie Eldenburg, a longtime gymnast, said. "We have a lot of potential." That talent is mirrored in the new head coach, Seth Perkins, who organized the event. "I think he has a lot of talent to share with the kids." McDaniel said. Eldenburg said Perkins is good at remaining calm and in control during a hectic weekend. The success of the performance wasn't simply due to the coaches, supportive crowd or fluidity of the show, but also in the impact that it left with the visiting students who stayed with kind hosts in Rees, Prescott and Culver Halls. "From watching the students and faculty, the other gymnasts seemed really welcome," Bower said. "But that's how the entire atmosphere here is at Union." Next school year, Union will take its turn hosting Acrofest, a similar but larger training clinic open to gymnastics teams from all colleges and high schools in the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists. Volleyball Tournament Two weeks following Gymfest, another host of visitors were able to attest to Union's hospitality. The weekend of Oct. 26 brought eight teams of girls from across the Midwest to compete against each other in a volleyball tournament. The winners were Midland Academy (Kans.), College View Academy (Neb.), and Campion Academy (Colo.). "We're really excited about the three new teams from Maplewood, Minnetonka and Dakota Adventist Academy," said Ric Spaulding, athletic director for Union College. "More girls playing on volleyball teams in the Mid-America Union means that's more girls hopefully coming to play at Union College." Although the visitors, such as senior Molly Gibb, believed that the athletics "were handled well," the accommodations and friendliness of the students were commented on the most. "This year we tried something new," Spaulding said about feeding the 135 visitors. "We put barcodes on the name tags." Everything ran smoothly, and the new dining system will probably be implemented for future tournaments. Kayla Rouse, who not only came to the recent Gymfest, but also basketball tournaments for the past three years, stays with girls that she already knows. She thinks Union is very open and welcoming. "Girls just say 'hi' or open doors," Rouse said on feeling welcomed. "It's not something big, but it just shows that they want you on campus." Even though Sunnydale sophomore Kristi Fitzpatrick's sister attends Union, Kristi had never been inside any of the buildings until she came for this year's tournament. "It was a little awkward at first," Fitzpatrick admitted, as she hadn't met her sister's roommate before. "But then it was OK. My sister introduced me to a lot of people." Gibb, Fitzpatrick's teammate, used to be against attending Union College, but with each visit, she becomes more open to the idea. "Every year keeps getting better and I get more excited about going to college," Gibb said. "Union College seems to offer a lot of opportunities. Everyone is really outgoing and nice. The staff seems really energetic and willing to help the students." "I think people are nice here," Fitzpatrick agreed. "They just seem friendly. I'll probably end up going here because, after being here, everybody is so friendly. The other colleges seemed really different." "It's not just our [athletics] department." Spaulding said. "The dorms, students here, Union Market, Ortner Center – there are a lot of different areas working together to make it work."

Three of them chose to be baptized. Elique Semaboye (center, back) met an Indonesian movie star while in Borneo. The young man attended Semaboye's talks each night and ultimately gave his life to Christ. Amy Agosto and Dana Connell, center, traveled to Borneo to speak in an evangelistic series in the city of Balikpapan. Each experienced God's hand in their preaching and cherishes the relationships they built with local young people. Just before Dana Connell stepped aboard the plane that would take her back homeâ€â€Âhalf-way around the worldâ€â€Âa 15-year old Indonesian girl pressed a school photo I.D. card and a hair clip into Dana's hand. "Don't forget me. Don't forget me," she whispered over and over. The young girl, her parents and her two sisters had bonded with Connell through her summer evangelistic work in Borneo. Upon meeting the youngest girl, Connell sent a note with well wishes to the oldest daughter, who had just undergone thyroid surgery. After Connell's note, the whole family attended her meetings; the girls' mother had never come to church before, in spite of nine years of visits by local Adventist church members. "When I left, all three girls and their mother missed school to say goodbye to me at the airport," Connell says. "All of this bloomed from a seemingly insignificant get-well note. God taught me the impact small, outwardly-insignificant acts can have." Connell, who graduated in May with a degree in theology, was part of a group of six Union College students, led by Professor of Religion Tom Shepherd, who traveled to Borneo July 13-28. They held evangelistic meetings in the city of Balikpapan in the East Kalimantan district of Borneo, an island in southeast Asia. "Borneo was a place where I could see that the gospel actually meant something to people," Connell said. "I wanted to see people get excited about the power of knowing Jesus." The southern and eastern portions of Borneo, which sits southwest of the Philippines, are part of Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation in the world. "When we arrived in Balikpapan after two days of travel we were overwhelmed with the friendly welcome we received," Shepherd said. "A large group of church members came to greet us at the airport. They welcomed us in their churches provided many meals for our team and were gracious hosts." Each student was assigned a different site and delivered 19 sermons in 16 days. Their Bible presentations were held in rented halls or churches throughout Balikpapan and the surrounding area. "The program was pretty intensive," said Shepherd who led a similar project in Rwanda two years ago. Elique Semaboye, a sophomore from [trying to get his home country] Africa, held meetings in a rural area outside of Balikpapan. As a theology major, his work in Borneo was a valuable experience for his future as a pastor. He regularly spoke to 75 to 100 visitors in attendance, including four local ministers of another denomination who sat on the front row taking notes. One evening one of these pastors came up to Semaboye after his sermon, encouraging him by saying, "Thank you for telling us the truth." An Indonesian movie star named Johannes also regularly attended Semaboye's evangelistic programs; the two young men soon became friends. One evening after the meeting Johannes took Semaboye aside said that he had been very inspired by Semaboye's sermons. He wanted Semaboye to pray that he would have the strength to give up being a movie star and follow Jesus. Amy Agosto, a sophomore international rescue and relief major, held meetings for children ages 12 to 18 at the local Adventist school. Many of them were not Christians, and she felt especially called to reach those who had never heard about Jesus before. "The kids were so inspiring to me," said Agosto, who had a fear of public speaking before she began preaching at the meetings. "The little ones were always so cheerful and I could tell they really loved Jesus. Speaking to them helped me to slowly become more comfortable speaking up front." Agosto also had the opportunity to interact with a young man who is passionate about following Jesus. One of the attendees at her meetings for children was a 17-year-old named Timothy. He was responsible for the program's music, sound system, and anything else he was needed for. Agosto soon noticed that Timothy, a high school senior, was wise beyond his years. He told her, "Amy, I believe that the young people will finish this great work that God has put us to do." Agosto couldn't agree with Timothy more. "We young people have a work to do as a light to this world," she says. "God is preparing young people around the world to be his tools, bringing the gospel to every nation. I am so excited to be an instrument for God." At the close of the evangelistic trip the group held a mass meeting with all the sites combined at one location; 45 people were baptized. "It is so rewarding to see people respond to the Gospel," Shepherd said. Among those baptized were three of the children Agosto had preached to and interacted with during her evangelistic outreach. "My time in Borneo helped me to depend on God a lot more. I know that God used my preaching to place a seed in the hearts of those kids."

Both choral and keyboard students are featured this year with several guest directors, headed by Union College professors Dr. Daniel Lynn and Dr. Ryan Wells. In addition, Dr. Gerald Holbrook, a nationally recognized expert in Monophonic Gregorian chant, and Oscar Harriott, a local gospel music expert, will aid with the music clinics. Union College will host 250 students from 12 Adventist high schools. Though most hail from the Midwest, participanting schools will come from as far away as New York and Utah. The most gifted and skilled students from each institution are invited to Music Festival to expand their melodic horizons. "The festival is a unique opportunity for the talented music students to all come together and create music," Dr. Lynn explained. "I'm excited about working with these talented students and having them experience great music." With 14-hours of rehearsal, the combined effort of the directors, visitors and Union's own choral performaers will culminate in two performances open to the community. Headline concerts are Friday, Feb. 1 at 7:30 p.m. and Sabbath, Feb. 2 at 4:15 p.m. Both concerts are in the College View Church, 48th and Prescott, and are free and open to the public. Additionally, a piano recital featuring an elite group of visiting student pianists is scheduled for Friday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. in the Engel Recital Hall.

More than 20 years of civil conflict in the country has created a need for educational and economic opportunities among Ugandan youth that Invisible Children hopes to address.

From payroll to phone calls, grades to room reservations, Charlie does it all. In the Peanuts-inspired naming system of Union College computer systems, the server known as Charlie (as in Charlie Brown) has always been the star. The hardware has been upgraded countless times over the years and new features have been added to the software, but at the core, Union College has relied on the same system for three decades. Read more about So long Charlie Brown: Union replaces venerable administrative tool Union welcomes guest pianist for Jan. 15 chamber recital; master classes January 9, 2008 On Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. Dr. Frank Restesan of the Union College music department will perform a violin and piano concert along with internationally renowned pianist Dr. Kaestner Robertson. The concert will take place in Engel Hall Recital Room (corner of South 48th St. and Bancroft Ave.). The music featured will be from the late Romantic period into the early 20th century (1850-1935). "This concert is essentially a mosaic of the major musical culture during this time in Germany, France and England," Restesan said. "The three pieces that we will perform are probably the most important works written for violin and piano chamber music for the time period." This concert is the first of a winter-spring tour for Restesan and Robertson. Other stops include Atlantic Union College in South Lancaster, Mass., and Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Mich. Restesan, who joined the faculty of Union College in fall 2007, is the director of the Chamber Orchestra, the Golden Cords String Quartet and coordinator of music history. Restesan holds a doctorate in performance and orchestral conducting from the University of Arizona. He has appeared on stages around the world including Romania, Spain, Puerto Rico and Carnegie Hall in New York City. Robertson has gained an international reputation as a pianist and organist. Currently he is a professor of music at Atlantic Union College. Robertson has given solo and collaborative recitals around the world including performances in Barbados, Bermuda, France, England and his native Jamaica. During his Lincoln visit, Robertson will be offering piano master classes that will be open to Union College students as well as the community. The classes will be on Jan. 16 and 17 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. For more information about the concert or master classes, please contact the Division of Fine Arts at 486-2553. Read more about Union welcomes guest pianist for Jan. 15 chamber recital; master classes Sara Groves to perform free concert January 8, 2008 On Friday, Jan. 18, Union College will host a free concert by Christian singer/songwriter Sara Groves. Groves also performed at Union College in 2002. The concert will be held at College View Church, located at the corner of 48th and Prescott, at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. "Hearing Sara Groves changed my entire outlook on Christian music," Scott Cushman, an alumnus who attended her 2002 concert at the college. "Relaxed, thoughtful and soulful, I went home feeling closer to God and telling everyone I know to listen to Grove's album." In 1998 Groves transitioned from teaching at a high school in Minnesota to full-time musician. That year also Groves released her first album, Past the Wishing. Since then, she's put out five more albums, been nominated for three Dove Awards, and CCM Magazine named her Christian music artist of the year and gave its "Album of the Year" award to her 2005 release Add to the Beauty. Groves puts a lot of herself into her music. She brings sincere, candidly truthful lyrics to her low-key, acoustic music. In addition to recording, Groves gives over 120 performances each year. Seating is free but limited. College View Church will seat 1,700 on a first come, first serve basis.

The diversity of the students' personalities is evident in the exhibit, ranging from digital camera work to film, and black and white to color. Read more about McClelland Art Gallery displays work by photography students Senior display "Unlike the Rest" at McClelland Art Gallery December 5, 2007 LINCOLN—Running until Dec. 8 in the McClelland Art Gallery, "Unlike the Rest" is titled appropriately. Union College senior Josh Morris named each of the 40 pieces on display after rock songs. During the debut, some of the songs played in the background adding to the ambiance. Although unintentional, each gallery section of Morris' senior exhibit reflects a small part of his personality. The fine art pieces display his cheekiness and humor; the photography gives a peek into his calm, easy going manner; and the photo-shopped work shows his edgy and outgoing side.

A Lincoln resident, Benton loves working with mixed media elements. She believes art can be a metaphor for life and the twists and turns that ensue. In her artwork, she takes an idea and makes the decision to redo it, or go in different direction. She described her paintings, as well as life, as a path that comes to many crossroads. You must then make a decision which fork you will take. "Making art is not a straight path; it's like a maze," Benton said. "This phenomenon happens in a lot of different mediums, such as chefs trying to find a new seasoning to remake an old recipe. Making art is a challenge. Relationships are a challenge. I like to celebrate the fact that life is filled with challenges and choices." The McClelland Art Gallery is in the Ortner Center on the Union College campus, 3800 S. 48th Street. Enter the campus from Prescott Avenue. The art gallery is free to the public and open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact the Ortner Center at 402.486.2545.

Tonight in its rawest first mix form, the Danny Barker Centennial Radio Project goes on over the airwaves:
10 PM to Midnight on David Kunian's Kitchen Sink show
Something magical:
Changes take place in my neighborhood in small increments these days. We wake to another house starting repairs or to another being finished --- and still a few lay dormant. The kudzu and politicians ruin one thing after another, and without a glance, the people begin each day rebuilding the city....and dream that their Saints will end up in a Super Bowl.
Tune in Wednesday night November 11th for our special guest D.J. Truth Universal.
We have been wanting to get him on the show for a long time so you are not wanting to miss it as Truth will be in during the 11:00 hour performing live.
Truth Universal performs at 508 Maison on Frenchmen Street Friday November 13 with D.J. Dubla and many more.
I'm sitting with 'OZ show host Jukebox Jack just before the live broadcast of Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue. The WWOZ broadcast truck is to the left and behind us is the WWOZ/SoCo stage under golden-hour sun and near-perfect weather. An ideal closing Sunday for Voodoo.
Singer-songwriter Andrew Duhon was sitting in the WWOZ hospitality tent updating his Twitter account, and I chatted him up about his time at Voodoo before he was golfcarted away to the LOA lounge for a VIP performance.
What's your experience been, being a musician from New Orleans, at Voodoo?
New Orleans played a very large role in the making of an independent animated film
Out of Our Minds Animation Studio is thrilled to announce that "The Magistical" is an official screening selection to be shown at as part of The Big Easy International Film Festival.
Wandering as near to the PlayStation/Billboard Stage as I could, I caught the gypsy-punk superband Gogol Bordello. Although I had to watch mostly from the giant screen above the stage, I could hear the band's thumping presence easily from right in front of the sound tent.
I managed to catch an act I've been waiting to see for some time now, the New Orleans Bingo! Show, over at the Bingo! Parlour (a small circus tent). I got more than I expected... Aside from some particularly ghoulish zombie costumes, ringleader Clint Maegden and his cohorts treated the packed tent to some scarily energetic music.
This Thursday, brilliant jazz trombonist Mark McGrain will join Jelly Roll Justice in the studio (Jazz from the Market, 4 to 7 p.m.) to talk about the innovative trio "Plunge".
