Due to the recent enrollment figures for grades 8-11, Bayou Academy athletics will be competing in Class AA next year, while North Sunflower Academy will continue to remain in Class A in the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools.
The bump up to AA hasn't come as a surprise to Bayou as the school has seen increased numbers in enrollment over the last several years.
According to Bayou Academy headmaster Robert Foust, Bayou had approximately 111 students from grades 8-11 when it came time to do reclassification. That number is up seven students from two years ago, when Bayou had 104 students at the time of reclassification, putting the school one student short from AA at that time. In recent years, the school has also made significant upgrades to the softball field, gymnasium and baseball field as well as the entire school.
Foust said the school is ready for the move to AA.
"We are looking forward to it," Foust said. "We've been anticipating this now for a couple of years. We've tried to make some up grades to our facilities so that they will be as nice as the ones we'll be going to. I don't think there will be any AA school that has as nice facilities than what we've got. We look forward to the competition."
The Colts have had a lot of great athletic teams in Class A. The softball team won six fast pitch softball state championships (2006), while the baseball team won two state championships and finished state runners-up two other times (2009, 2010). The football team played in the Class A State Title game in 2007, while the boys and girls basketball teams, track teams, tennis teams and girls soccer team have also produced some good squads that have competed well in the postseason.
According to Foust, the potential to thrive for the school's teams to thrive in AA is there.
"We feel like we can be competitive," Foust said. "It's a good time for us to be moving in that the majority of our athletic teams don't have very many seniors, so we've got good people coming back in just about every sport. We look forward to relationships with some schools that we haven't play very much in the past."
Foust said a huge reason the enrollment has been higher in junior high and high school is the fact that more students, who started going to Bayou in elementary school, have remained at the school.
"Several years ago, we started making a concerted effort to recruit students down in the elementary school with the idea that the sooner you get them, the easier it is for them to stay," Foust said. "Some of those numbers are beginning to show up in the junior high and the high school.
"As the years have gone, we've been able to keep the same enrollment or a little better in the elementary school. The bread and butter of everything is the elementary school, and you have to get them and keep them. We've been able to do that for the most part and it's shown up in the junior high and high school."
Foust also said many people, who went to Bayou Academy when they were in high school, are sending their kids to Bayou and have helped out with many needs around the school.
The full alignment as far as the districts for each sport will be announced later this month.

my button back sweater
by HOPE
HOPE begun as a creative discussion between two friends, Swedish designers Ann Ringstrand and Stefan Söderberg, who were passionate and extremely interested in well-made utility wear. Realizing a lack in modern and useful Outerwear and Trousers for women, the pair launched HOPE in Autumn 2002. The concept was built around updated, masculine style using unexpected fabrics and redesigned vintage garments. The result is a collection of easy, tailored looks with utility for everyday wear. In 2005, a collection for men was added to the concept along with a complete range of shoes and accessories. Back To Product View All From This Designer

Green Buildings
- The design and construction of buildings greatly impact energy consumption and pollution including fossil carbon emissions. At UWO we are committed to green buildings by incorporating elements of energy efficiency design standards on all new construction and applicable renovation projects.
LEED Certified Construction
What is LEED?
- The USGBC's LEED certification system has become the standard for sustainable building practices. Learn more from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Different Levels of LEED Certification
LEED Certification at UWO
- Several recent projects have been designed and constructed in accordance with the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards including:
- Student Success Center (Silver)
- Sage Hall (Gold)
- Horizon Village (Gold)
LEED History for UWO's Buildings
- Student Success Center earned a LEED-Silver as the first LEED certified building here
- Horizon Village achieved Gold in the LEED rating system in May 2013
- Sage Hall received the Gold rating in October 2012
- The Student Recreation and Wellness Center and the South Campus Parking Ramp were built following LEED-Silver guidelines, though neither was certified
- Taylor Hall, which was renovated in 2005 was inspired by the LEED rating system but also was not certified
Sage Hall
As the University's first new academic building in 40 years, Sage Hall opened its doors in fall 2011. Solar photovoltaic and solar thermal hot water installations generate 10 percent of the energy needs for the 190,000-square-foot building. Sage also is equipped with features that improve the use of daylight for lighting, thereby reducing the need for electricity. In all, Sage was built to be about 40% more efficient than a conventional building of equal size. Outside the building, Sage has been outfitted with a green roof and bioswales for stormwater management to slow runoff and improve water quality following precipitation events.
Student Recreation and Wellness Center
SRWC opened in 2007, and was designed with numerous sustainable features. It was designed to the equivalent of a LEED Silver rating. Some of the features include:
- Generous windows deliver panoramic river views as well as natural lighting to many spaces, reducing electrical loads.
- More than half of construction waste was recycled or reused.
- 20 percent of building materials were regionally manufactured.

First, I should comment that I don't have the beta, so I am asking this question blind.
How are psykers in Only War propped to look? Did they do a nice job, compared to some other FFG systems? My two preferred class types are Officer, which this game kind of sounds like it lacks (more the Lieutenant+ ranks, for me, but I understand why the Sergeant was the right choice, based on what I've read) and Psyker. I am hoping that they have access to decent powers, without blowing themselves, and their squad mates up, and that the system is a good one. I also hope they can still be a bit soldiery, being IG. I don't want them to be CONSTANTLY one nosebleed away from a mercy bolt to the brainpan, or plain reviled by the others, due to Human hatred of psykers who aren't Him on Terra. Am I going to like what I read, when the book comes out (in one and a half years )? Do they have an okay range of powers, or will many psykers feel rather similar?
I know there are levels of stuff people probably can't say, since it's a pay-for-it beta, but can anyone give me a guesstimate of how happy I'll be with them? Thanks.

MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (1/21/14) – Muhlenberg County law enforcement and local officials are calling the new county-wide investigative task force an idea, whose time has come.
Members of the Muhlenberg Sheriff's Department, along with the Central City, Greenville and Powderly Police departments met Friday, Jan. 17 at Catfish Dock in Greenville to announce the creation of a new joint investigative unit.
Sheriff Curtis McGehee told SurfKY News the basic idea is to make sure "all investigative units in the county are working together."
"Sometimes we may have a crime committed with only one or two officers working on the case. There are many times when having more officers, with more experience in various areas, will make the difference in solving a case." McGehee said.
McGehee noted that there will be times when the Kentucky State Police will also become involved in helping the new unit.
"When a serious crime is committed anywhere in the county, representatives from the various law enforcement agencies will be called out as part of this unit," said McGehee. "Our agency heads know their forces, and know who has the specific experience in certain areas to make this task force effective. Some officers have worked more on burglary cases. Others have concentrated on sexual assault cases. Some have worked on criminal mischief incidents or in other areas. When we combine all this expertise, we know it's going to make us a stronger investigative unit."
McGehee emphasized that from the beginning, he, along with the various police chiefs involved, made sure that Judge-Executive Rick Newman and the mayors of the cities involved were in full support of the task force.
Central City Mayor Barry Shaver told SurfKY News that he sees the task force as a "win-win" for everyone involved.
"When we are able to combine our crime experts from the various law enforcement agencies, with everyone working together, it just makes sense," said Shaver. "And in the long run, it saves tax dollars. Plus, there is just absolutely no substitute for experience."
McGehee noted that the next step is to begin training the Muhlenberg 911 Central Dispatch staff on how their part in the process will work.
"We want to make sure that everyone knows what the protocol will be. When a call comes in regarding a serious crime anywhere in the county, our 911 staff will know exactly who to send to a crime scene," said McGehee.

For additional details on the lawsuit filed by Associated Wholesale Grocers, please see "UPDATED: AWG files antitrust case against potato groups"
Associated Wholesale Grocers recently joined the antitrust price-fixing fray in federal court that pits potato purchasers against potato companies and cooperatives.
In a lawsuit filed in mid-April in federal court in Kansas, Associated Wholesale Grocers, Kansas City, Kan., claims the United Potato Growers of America, United Potato state groups and many potato grower-shippers, have been illegally setting potato prices since 2004.
The AWG suit claims the potato groups are not protected by the Capper-Volstead Act of 1922, which allows agricultural producers to form cooperatives to stabilize markets and prices.
"Defendants suggested that they should 'study' the OPEC model and their organization was referred to as the 'OPEC of Potatoes,' " the AWG complaint states.
"As a direct and proximate result of defendants' conduct, plaintiff directly purchased potatoes at prices higher than it would have paid and on terms that are less favorable than would have been available in a competitive market," according to the AWG lawsuit.
Almost identical claims were made in federal cases against the potato groups and companies in 2010. Those plaintiffs and AWG don't state specific dollar amounts. They merely state that they want triple the amount that they allegedly overpaid.
AWG supplies more than 2,000 retailers, according to the complaint, which contends the defendants violated the federal Sherman Act (antitrust) and the Kansas Restraint of Trade Act.
Officers from United Potato Growers of America, Salt Lake City, maintain the group was set up within the law and operates legally.
"We have always acted openly and within the bounds of the law. We are confident in our legal position and look forward to a favorable outcome in court," said Jerry Wright, president and chief executive officer of UPGA.
Judge partially denied Capper-Volstead defense
Capper-Volstead provisions are key to the 2010 cases. Those cases, filed in California, Wisconsin and Idaho, are now consolidated. The potato defendants requested antitrust claims in the cases be dismissed because they contend their activities are protected under Capper-Volstead.

by ACNE STUDIOS
Acne (Ambition to Create Novel Expression) is a creative collective founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1996. The collective became established as a clothing line in 1997, when co-founder Jonny Johansson created 100 pairs of jeans in raw denim with red stitching and distributed them to friends throughout Stockholm. These novel jeans became the foundation of the brand and lead to the launch of Acne Studios' first full collection in 1998. The concept behind the line is a tone of subtle luxury in understated styles feeling as though they were borrowed from another person's wardrobe. Each piece in the collection is simplistic yet stands out on its own while pairing easily with others.

The waters of Maine are exhilarating, restorative and invigorating. There's no better place to explore them than the Kennebec Valley Region, where you'll find every type of inland water adventure imaginable.
If it's the thrill of Maine's powerful whitewater rapids that you seek, you'll find it waiting for you here. The rushing rapids will beg you to accept their challenge. Maine's Dead River, which flows from Flagstaff Lake, offers the longest continuous stretch of Class III to V whitewater in the East. The sixteen-mile trip begins below Grand Falls, culminating at the famous Big Poplar Falls and the confluence with the Kennebec River in The Forks.
If it's what lies beneath the Maine waters that you're interested in, you'll find the abundance of fish in Kennebec Valley's many lakes to be truly incredible. As you cast your line as far as you can, watching your bait make a perfect arc and splash into the calm water, you'll feel a connection to the water and to Maine.
The central valleys offer more than just water exploration. Hiking is an all-season activity in any area of the state, but in this region you'll have the chance to hike a piece of American history: the Appalachian Trail.
And if it's history you like, the Maine State Museum in Augusta presents the unique culture and story of Maine. You'll find more surprises inside the Theatre of Monmouth, the Waterville Opera House, or back at Old Fort Western, to name only a few.
Take a drive down one of Maine's most storied roads, the Kennebec-Chaudiere Corridor. Running from Quebec City to Popham Beach, Maine, most of this scenic drive runs through the Kennebec Valley. Along the way, you'll encounter the beauty of Maine's small towns. They're unexpected, unique, and yet all part of one authentic whole.
And as with all regions of Maine, the fall and winter bring a new set of discoveries, from snowmobiling to ice fishing and holiday celebrations. There's something new for you in the Kennebec Valley, in every season.
So come anytime, and start anywhere.

Bolivar County Supervisor Andrew Williams said at Monday's board of supervisors meeting that renovation projects at the historic building are nearing completion and a reopening ceremony will take place at 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 4.
Speakers, refreshments and an announcement of full court services will be scheduled at the event.
"The courthouse is a big asset to life on the west side of the county," said Williams. "People from many towns depend on it for buying car tags, paying taxes and of course, going to court.
"We're really excited for Feb. 4 ceremony and that these services will be available to the people again."
Circuit Clerk Marilyn Kelly announced at Monday's meeting that the moving process is also nearing completion, as many departments are in the process of transitioning from temporary offices in Cleveland back to Rosedale.
West side offices for the tax assessor, chancery clerk and justice court were among those impacted by the construction.
The majority of restoration focused on building stabilization, a problem that had plagued the building for years.
"About 70 percent of the work went into re-stabilization efforts," added Williams. "This problem was causing some of the walls to lean and pull away from the original structure."
Bolivar County Administrator Will Hooker explained that unstable ground was the root of the problem.
"Soft soil and the building's poor foundation played a role in the stabilization issues," said Hooker. "Over the years, the weight of the internal vaults in the building and the ground giving and pulling contributed to this problem.
"We've made repairs to have a much stronger foundation, and we'll now be able to utilize the north wing of the building that wasn't available before."
A number of interior retouches and installing a new roof were also big parts of the overhaul.
Rosedale Mayor Carey Estes said he is pleased with the progress and the new look.
"I think a wonderful job has been done in restoring the courthouse into a safe and beautiful facility," said Estes. "The people and records will now be much safer.
"Everything was done in a timely manner — we really weren't inconvenienced all too much."
The main contractors for the job were Roy Collins Construction Company, Inc. and Belinda Stewart Architects, P.A.
Hooker said the building is significant as a house of law and also as a historical marker in the county.
"When you use the words 'historic' or 'priceless,' I think the Rosedale Courthouse falls into that category," he said. "If you look at the original styles of the building, you see that they can't be replaced — they are architectural treasure."
Supervisor's meetings in Rosedale will also begin Feb. 4 and continue to swap locations between Cleveland and Rosedale on a monthly basis.

Rizzy Rugs Anna Redmond AD3 Navy Rug
Item #: 287AD2258-P Add to Wishlist
Description: "The process of making a rug is a beautiful dance that combines years of tradition, energy, innovation and skill. " says artist and designer, Anna Redmond. "The material is raw and comes from life before it is creatively transformed by so many hands." That same beauty and creativity that flows from weaving a hand made rug informs the approach Redmond pours into every collection she designs for Rizzy Home.
- Collection: Anna Redmond
- Brand: Rizzy Rugs
- Material: 100% Wool
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Contemporary Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 3' x 5'
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
colors were very close in reality as they are shown online.. delivery was prompt and well wrapped price for quality is good value Only negative...pile height is not as thick as we would have liked...and if the photos showed the area rugs from a different angle then this problem could be allviated somewhat
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The quality is good, but in the small size, which is the one I ordered, there was no purple in the rug. I specifically ordered it because I wanted something with purple in it.
The rug is great quality, but the small size does not contain all the colors it shows in the picture. I was looking for a rug with some purple in and the one I was sent had no purple whatsoever. I think the picture is a bit deceiving.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug is really nice; thick soft wool, and a transitional pattern. The colors on the NAVY are muted. Unfortunately, I had to return it, but only because it didn't fit well in my condo's small entry. Quality and workmanship were both excellent. The return process is cumbersome. Better to take it to a UPS store and just pay to ship it back, rather than wait a day or two to receive the e-mail containing the $21 shipping label.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Why plant trees when there are water restrictions?
By planting trees that shade and cool hardscape surfaces (streets, sidewalks, parking lots, buildings, patios, asphalt playgrounds at schools), we reduce the temperature of cities, reduce our input to global warming and reduce energy use for air conditioning.
Cars emit pollutants (volatile organic compounds - VOCs) that evaporate from the gas tank even when they are parked and heating up in the sun. By planting trees that shade streets and parking lots, we can slow down the rate of VOC evaporation thus reducing those pollutants.
Trees are a long-term investment and add real value in dollars and cents to a community. In fact the larger the tree, the greater the benefits (cleaner air, more shade, lower costs for storm water controls, longer time between resurfacing streets). Looking at the costs and benefits, we come out ahead when we plant trees.
Drought tolerant and native landscapes – including trees – require less water than lawns or turf. Turf needs water many days per week as opposed to none to four times a month for a tree. Turf also doesn't provide shade as trees do. For all the water that turf uses, most people reap little benefit from their green square of green in front of their house or in the parkway. Trees that shade the other parts of the garden will also reduce water use there.
After the initial water investment, drought tolerant trees (especially natives) can often get by on natural amounts of rain water. They may occasionally need a deep soaking one to four times over the dry part of the year depending on the species.

7lamps from thermo flasks? no kidding,
here's a new one from kai of kairichter.com. (link updated 1 april 08) thermo-flask lamps, are they hot or not?
he writes, "i wanted to have a kitchen light which transports something of the context. it works also on the table in your office or in your living room. all you need is a lampshade, lamp holder, a cable, a cable-switch and a bulb. to remove the glass-volume from the flask, you just have to unscrew the bottom of the body in left direction, then you can pull the glass-volume out. that's it."
unfortunately, ikea doesn't sell this flask anymore.
7 Responses to lamps from thermo flasks? no kidding,
this is fun! and there are other flasks like this one around, so there is still a chance to do it …
Odd & Groovy. An excellent combo. I like it!
i ACTUALLY LIKE THE ONE WITH THE LAMP SHADE- but I think as a light fixture leave something to be desired- it is a personal taste
Hotness. I like the illuminated floating flask. I think if there were a few of them in a row (like the proverbial group of three) it would make an even bigger statement. Well done!
There is a Mexican restaurant in West Portal in San Francisco that has lamps like this… they use Ikea watering cans, colanders, and other random objects. They look pretty neat.
Love it
Could it be a fire hazard?

The name of this book signifies "The Preacher." The wisdom of God here preaches to us, speaking by Solomon, who it is evident was the author. At the close of his life, being made sensible of his sin and folly, he recorded here his experience for the benefit of others, as the book of his repentance; and he pronounced all earthly good to be "vanity and vexation of spirit." It convinces us of the vanity of the world, and that it cannot make us happy; of the vileness of sin, and its certain tendency to make us miserable. It shows that no created good can satisfy the soul, and that happiness is to be found in God alone; and this doctrine must, under the blessed Spirit's teaching, lead the heart to Christ Jesus.
Solomon shows that all human things are vain. (1-3) Man's toil and want of satisfaction. (4-8) There is nothing new. (9-11) The vexation in pursuit of knowledge. (12-18)
Verses 1-3 Much is to be learned by comparing one part of Scripture with another. We here behold Solomon returning from the broken and empty cisterns of the world, to the Fountain of living water; recording his own folly and shame, the bitterness of his disappointment, and the lessons he had learned. Those that have taken warning to turn and live, should warn others not to go on and die. He does not merely say all things are vain, but that they are vanity. VANITY OF VANITIES, ALL IS VANITY. This is the text of the preacher's sermon, of which in this book he never loses sight. If this world, in its present state, were all, it would not be worth living for; and the wealth and pleasure of this world, if we had ever so much, are not enough to make us happy. What profit has a man of all his labour? All he gets by it will not supply the wants of the soul, nor satisfy its desires; will not atone for the sins of the soul, nor hinder the loss of it: what profit will the wealth of the world be to the soul in death, in judgment, or in the everlasting state?
Verses 4-8 All things change, and never rest. Man, after all his labour, is no nearer finding rest than the sun, the wind, or the current of the river. His soul will find no rest, if he has it not from God. The senses are soon tired, yet still craving what is untried.
Verses 9-11 Men's hearts and their corruptions are the same now as in former times; their desires, and pursuits, and complaints, still the same. This should take us from expecting happiness in the creature, and quicken us to seek eternal blessings. How many things and persons in Solomon's day were thought very great, yet there is no remembrance of them now!
Verses 12-18 Solomon tried all things, and found them vanity. He found his searches after knowledge weariness, not only to the flesh, but to the mind. The more he saw of the works done under the sun, the more he saw their vanity; and the sight often vexed his spirit. He could neither gain that satisfaction to himself, nor do that good to others, which he expected. Even the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom discovered man's wickedness and misery; so that the more he knew, the more he saw cause to lament and mourn. Let us learn to hate and fear sin, the cause of all this vanity and misery; to value Christ; to seek rest in the knowledge, love, and service of the Saviour.
Ecclesiastes 1:1-18 . INTRODUCTION.
1. the Preacher--and Convener of assemblies for the purpose. See my Preface. Koheleth in Hebrew, a symbolical name for Solomon, and of Heavenly Wisdom speaking through and identified with him. Ecclesiastes 1:12 shows that "king of Jerusalem" is in apposition, not with "David," but "Preacher."
of Jerusalem--rather, "in Jerusalem," for it was merely his metropolis, not his whole kingdom.
2. The theme proposed of the first part of his discourse.
Vanity of vanities--Hebraism for the most utter vanity. So "holy of holies" ( Exodus 26:33 ); "servant of servants" ( Genesis 9:25 ). The repetition increases the force.
all--Hebrew, "the all"; all without exception, namely, earthly things.
vanity--not in themselves, for God maketh nothing in vain ( 1 Timothy 4:4 1 Timothy 4:5 ), but vain when put in the place of God and made the end, instead of the means ( Psalms 39:5 Psalms 39:6 , 62:9 , Matthew 6:33 ); vain, also, because of the "vanity" to which they are "subjected" by the fall ( Romans 8:20 ).
3. What profit . . . labour--that is, "What profit" as to the chief good ( Matthew 16:26 ). Labor is profitable in its proper place ( Genesis 2:15 , 3:19 , Proverbs 14:23 ).
under the sun--that is, in this life, as opposed to the future world. The phrase often recurs, but only in Ecclesiastes.
4. earth . . . for ever--( Psalms 104:5 ). While the earth remains the same, the generations of men are ever changing; what lasting profit, then, can there be from the toils of one whose sojourn on earth, as an individual, is so brief? The "for ever" is comparative, not absolute ( Psalms 102:26 ).
5. ( Psalms 19:5 Psalms 19:6 ). "Panting" as the Hebrew for "hasteth"; metaphor, from a runner ( Psalms 19:5 , "a strong man") in a "race." It applies rather to the rising sun, which seems laboriously to mount up to the meridian, than to the setting sun; the accents too favor MAURER, "And (that too, returning) to his place, where panting he riseth."
6. according to his circuits--that is, it returns afresh to its former circuits, however many be its previous veerings about. The north and south winds are the two prevailing winds in Palestine and Egypt.
7. By subterraneous cavities, and by evaporation forming rain clouds, the fountains and rivers are supplied from the sea, into which they then flow back. The connection is: Individual men are continually changing, while the succession of the race continues; just as the sun, wind, and rivers are ever shifting about, while the cycle in which they move is invariable; they return to the point whence they set out. Hence is man, as in these objects of nature which are his analogue, with all the seeming changes "there is no new thing" ( Ecclesiastes 1:9 ).
8. MAURER translates, "All words are wearied out," that is, are inadequate, as also, "man cannot express" all the things in the world which undergo this ceaseless, changeless cycle of vicissitudes: "The eye is not satisfied with seeing them," &c. But it is plainly a return to the idea ( Ecclesiastes 1:3 ) as to man's "labor," which is only wearisome and profitless; "no new" good can accrue from it ( Ecclesiastes 1:9 ); for as the sun, &c., so man's laborious works move in a changeless cycle. The eye and ear are two of the taskmasters for which man toils. But these are never "satisfied" ( Ecclesiastes 6:7 , Proverbs 27:20 ). Nor can they be so hereafter, for there will be nothing "new." Not so the chief good, Jesus Christ ( John 4:13 John 4:14 , Revelation 21:5 ).
9. Rather, "no new thing at all"; as in Numbers 11:6 . This is not meant in a general sense; but there is no new source of happiness (the subject in question) which can be devised; the same round of petty pleasures, cares, business, study, wars, &c., being repeated over and over again [HOLDEN].
10. old time--Hebrew, "ages."
which was--The Hebrew plural cannot be joined to the verb singular. Therefore translate: "It hath been in the ages before; certainly it hath been before us" [HOLDEN]. Or, as MAURER: "That which has been (done) before us (in our presence, 1 Chronicles 16:33 ), has been (done) already in the old times."
11. The reason why some things are thought "new," which are not really so, is the imperfect record that exists of preceding ages among their successors.
those that . . . come after--that is, those that live still later than the "things, rather the persons or generations, Ecclesiastes 1:4 , with which this verse is connected, the six intermediate verses being merely illustrations of Ecclesiastes 1:4 [WEISS], that are to come" ( Ecclesiastes 2:16 , 9:5 ).
12. Resumption of Ecclesiastes 1:1 , the intermediate verses being the introductory statement of his thesis. Therefore, "the Preacher" (Koheleth) is repeated.
was king--instead of "am," because he is about to give the results of his past experience during his long reign.
in Jerusalem--specified, as opposed to David, who reigned both in Hebron and Jerusalem; whereas Solomon reigned only in Jerusalem. "King of Israel in Jerusalem," implies that he reigned over Israel and Judah combined; whereas David, at Hebron, reigned only over Judah, and not, until he was settled in Jerusalem, over both Israel and Judah.
13. this sore travail--namely, that of "searching" out all things done under heaven." Not human wisdom in general, which comes afterwards ( Ecclesiastes 2:12 , &c.), but laborious enquiries into, and speculations about, the works of men; for example, political science. As man is doomed to get his bread, so his knowledge, by the sweat of his brow ( Genesis 3:19 ) [GILL].
exercised--that is, disciplined; literally, "that they may thereby chastise, or humble themselves."
14. The reason is here given why investigation into man's "works" is only "sore travail" ( Ecclesiastes 1:13 ); namely, because all man's ways are vain ( Ecclesiastes 1:18 ) and cannot be mended ( Ecclesiastes 1:15 ).
vexation of--"a preying upon"
the Spirit--MAURER translates; "the pursuit of wind," as in Ecclesiastes 5:16 , Hosea 12:1 , "Ephraim feedeth on wind." But old versions support the English Version.
15. Investigation ( Ecclesiastes 1:13 ) into human ways is vain labor, for they are hopelessly "crooked" and "cannot be made straight" by it ( Ecclesiastes 7:13 ). God, the chief good, alone can do this ( Isaiah 40:4 , 45:2 ).
wanting--( Daniel 5:27 ).
numbered--so as to make a complete number; so equivalent to "supplied" [MAURER]. Or, rather, man's state is utterly wanting; and that which is wholly defective cannot be numbered or calculated. The investigator thinks he can draw up, in accurate numbers, statistics of man's wants; but these, including the defects in the investigator's labor, are not partial, but total.
16. communed with . . . heart--( Genesis 24:45 ).
come to great estate--Rather, "I have magnified and gotten" (literally, "added," increased), &c.
all . . . before me in Jerusalem--namely, the priests, judges, and two kings that preceded Solomon. His wisdom exceeded that of all before Jesus Christ, the antitypical Koheleth, or "Gatherer of men," ( Luke 13:34 ), and "Wisdom" incarnate ( Matthew 11:19 , 12:42 ).
had . . . experience--literally, "had seen" ( Jeremiah 2:31 ). Contrast with this glorying in worldly wisdom ( Jeremiah 9:23 Jeremiah 9:24 ).
17. wisdom . . . madness--that is, their effects, the works of human wisdom and folly respectively. "Madness," literally, "vaunting extravagance"; Ecclesiastes 2:12 , 7:25 , &c., support English Version rather than DATHE, "splendid matters." "Folly" is read by English Version with some manuscripts, instead of the present Hebrew text, "prudence." If Hebrew be retained, understand "prudence," falsely so called ( 1 Timothy 6:20 ), "craft" ( Daniel 8:25 ).
18. wisdom . . . knowledge--not in general, for wisdom, &c., are most excellent in their place; but speculative knowledge of man's ways ( Ecclesiastes 1:13 Ecclesiastes 1:17 ), which, the farther it goes, gives one the more pain to find how "crooked" and "wanting" they are ( Ecclesiastes 1:15 , 12:12 ).

Situated on both banks of the Danube, Budapest unites the colorful hills of Buda and the wide, businesslike boulevards of Pest. Though it was the site of a Roman outpost during the 1st century, the city was not officially created until 1873, when the towns of Óbuda, Pest, and Buda united. Since then, Budapest has been the cultural, political, intellectual, and commercial heart of Hungary;
for the 20% of the nation's population who live in the capital, anywhere else is simply vidék ("the country").
Budapest has suffered many ravages in the course of its long history. It was totally destroyed by the Mongols in 1241, captured by the Turks in 1541, and nearly destroyed again by Soviet troops in 1945. But this bustling industrial and cultural center survived as the capital of the People's Republic of Hungary after the war—and then, as the 1980s drew to a close, it became renowned for "goulash socialism," a phrase used to describe the state's tolerance of an irrepressible entrepreneurial spirit. Budapest has undergone a radical makeover since the free elections of 1990. Change is still in the air. As more and more restaurants, bars, shops, and boutiques open their doors—and with fashion-conscious youths parading the streets—almost all traces of communism may seem to have disappeared. But then look again: the elderly ladies selling flowers at the train station are a poignant reminder that some Hungarians have been left behind in this brave new world of competition.

The descent of the Holy Spirit at the day of Pentecost. (1-4) The apostles speak in divers languages. (5-13) Peter's address to the Jews. (14-36) Three thousand souls converted. (37-41) The piety and affection of the disciples. (42-47)
Verses 1-4 We cannot forget how often, while their Master was with them there were strifes among the disciples which should be the greatest; but now all these strifes were at an end. They had prayed more together of late. Would we have the Spirit poured out upon us from on high, let us be all of one accord. And notwithstanding differences of sentiments and interests, as there were among those disciples, let us agree to love one another; for where brethren dwell together in unity, there the Lord commands his blessing. A rushing mighty wind came with great force. This was to signify the powerful influences and working of the Spirit of God upon the minds of men, and thereby upon the world. Thus the convictions of the Spirit make way for his comforts; and the rough blasts of that blessed wind, prepare the soul for its soft and gentle gales. There was an appearance of something like flaming fire, lighting on every one of them, according to John Baptist's saying concerning Christ; He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. The Spirit, like fire, melts the heart, burns up the dross, and kindles pious and devout affections in the soul; in which, as in the fire on the altar, the spiritual sacrifices are offered up. They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, more than before. They were filled with the graces of the Spirit, and more than ever under his sanctifying influences; more weaned from this world, and better acquainted with the other. They were more filled with the comforts of the Spirit, rejoiced more than ever in the love of Christ and the hope of heaven: in it all their griefs and fears were swallowed up. They were filled with the gifts of the Holy Ghost; they had miraculous powers for the furtherance of the gospel. They spake, not from previous though or meditation, but as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Verses 5-13 The difference in languages which arose at Babel, has much hindered the spread of knowledge and religion. The instruments whom the Lord first employed in spreading the Christian religion, could have made no progress without this gift, which proved that their authority was from God.
Verses 14-21 Peter's sermon shows that he was thoroughly recovered from his fall, and thoroughly restored to the Divine favour; for he who had denied Christ, now boldly confessed him. His account of the miraculous pouring forth of the Spirit, was designed to awaken the hearers to embrace the faith of Christ, and to join themselves to his church. It was the fulfilling the Scripture, and the fruit of Christ's resurrection and ascension, and proof of both. Though Peter was filled with the Holy Ghost, and spake with tongues as the Spirit gave him utterance, yet he did not think to set aside the Scriptures. Christ's scholars never learn above their Bible; and the Spirit is given, not to do away the Scriptures, but to enable us to understand, approve, and obey them. Assuredly none will escape the condemnation of the great day, except those who call upon the name of the Lord, in and through his Son Jesus Christ, as the Saviour of sinners, and the Judge of all mankind.
Verses 22-36 From this gift of the Holy Ghost, Peter preaches unto them Jesus: and here is the history of Christ. Here is an account of his death and sufferings, which they witnessed but a few weeks before. His death is considered as God's act; and of wonderful grace and wisdom. Thus Divine justice must be satisfied, God and man brought together again, and Christ himself glorified, according to an eternal counsel, which could not be altered. And as the people's act; in them it was an act of awful sin and folly. Christ's resurrection did away the reproach of his death; Peter speaks largely upon this. Christ was God's Holy One, sanctified and set apart to his service in the work of redemption. His death and sufferings should be, not to him only, but to all his, the entrance to a blessed life for evermore. This event had taken place as foretold, and the apostles were witnesses. Nor did the resurrection rest upon this alone; Christ had poured upon his disciples the miraculous gifts and Divine influences, of which they witnessed the effects. Through the Saviour, the ways of life are made known; and we are encouraged to expect God's presence, and his favour for evermore. All this springs from assured belief that Jesus is the Lord, and the anointed Saviour.
Verses 37-41 From the first delivery of that Divine message, it appeared that there was Divine power going with it; and thousands were brought to the obedience of faith. But neither Peter's words, nor the miracle they witnessed, could have produced such effects, had not the Holy Spirit been given. Sinners, when their eyes are opened, cannot but be pricked to the heart for sin, cannot but feel an inward uneasiness. The apostle exhorted them to repent of their sins, and openly to avow their belief in Jesus as the Messiah, by being baptized in his name. Thus professing their faith in Him, they would receive remission of their sins, and partake of the gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit. To separate from wicked people, is the only way to save ourselves from them. Those who repent of their sins, and give up themselves to Jesus Christ, must prove their sincerity by breaking off from the wicked. We must save ourselves from them; which denotes avoiding them with dread and holy fear. By God's grace three thousand persons accepted the gospel invitation. There can be no doubt that the gift of the Holy Ghost, which they all received, and from which no true believer has ever been shut out, was that Spirit of adoption, that converting, guiding, sanctifying grace, which is bestowed upon all the members of the family of our heavenly Father. Repentance and remission of sins are still preached to the chief of sinners, in the Redeemer's name; still the Holy Spirit seals the blessing on the believer's heart; still the encouraging promises are to us and our children; and still the blessings are offered to all that are afar off.
Verses 42-47 In these verses we have the history of the truly primitive church, of the first days of it; its state of infancy indeed, but, like that, the state of its greatest innocence. They kept close to holy ordinances, and abounded in piety and devotion; for Christianity, when admitted in the power of it, will dispose the soul to communion with God in all those ways wherein he has appointed us to meet him, and has promised to meet us. The greatness of the event raised them above the world, and the Holy Ghost filled them with such love, as made every one to be to another as to himself, and so made all things common, not by destroying property, but doing away selfishness, and causing charity. And God who moved them to it, knew that they were quickly to be driven from their possessions in Judea. The Lord, from day to day, inclined the hearts of more to embrace the gospel; not merely professors, but such as were actually brought into a state of acceptance with God, being made partakers of regenerating grace. Those whom God has designed for eternal salvation, shall be effectually brought to Christ, till the earth is filled with the knowledge of his glory.
Acts 2:1-13 . DESCENT OF THE SPIRIT--THE DISCIPLES SPEAK WITH TONGUES--AMAZEMENT OF THE MULTITUDE.
1-4. when the day of Pentecost was fully come--The fiftieth from the morrow after the first Passover sabbath ( Leviticus 23:15 Leviticus 23:16 ).
with one accord--the solemnity of the day, perhaps, unconsciously raising their expectations.
2. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, &c.--"The whole description is so picturesque and striking that it could only come from an eye-witness" [OLSHAUSEN]. The suddenness, strength, and diffusiveness of the sound strike with deepest awe the whole company, and thus complete their preparation for the heavenly gift. Wind was a familiar emblem of the Spirit ( Ezekiel 37:9 , John 3:8 , 20:22 ). But this was not a rush of actual wind. It was only a sound "as of" it.
3. cloven tongues, like as of fire, &c.--"disparted tongues," that is, tongue-shaped, flame-like appearances, rising from a common center or root, and resting upon each of that large company:--beautiful visible symbol of the burning energy of the Spirit now descending in all His plenitude upon the Church, and about to pour itself through every tongue, and over every tribe of men under heaven!
4. they . . . began to speak with . . . tongues, &c.--real, living languages, as is plain from what follows. The thing uttered, probably the same by all, was "the wonderful works of God," perhaps in the inspired words of the Old Testament evangelical hymns; though it is next to certain that the speakers themselves understood nothing of what they
5-11. there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men out of every nation--not, it would seem, permanently settled there (see Acts 2:9 ), though the language seems to imply more than a temporary visit to keep this one feast.
9-11. Parthians, &c.--Beginning with the farthest east, the Parthians, the enumeration proceeds farther and farther westward till it comes to Judea; next come the western countries, from Cappadocia to Pamphylia; then the southern, from Egypt to Cyrene; finally, apart from all geographical consideration, Cretes and Arabians are placed together. This enumeration is evidently designed to convey an impression of universality [BAUMGARTEN].
Acts 2:14-36 . PETER FOR THE FIRST TIME, PUBLICLY PREACHES CHRIST.
14-21. Peter, standing up with the eleven--in advance, perhaps, of the rest.
15. these are not drunken--meaning, not the Eleven, but the body of the disciples.
but the third hour--nine A.M. (see Ecclesiastes 10:16 , Isaiah 5:11 , 1 Thessalonians 5:17 ).
17. in the last days--meaning, the days of the Messiah ( Isaiah 2:2 ); as closing all preparatory arrangements, and constituting the final dispensation of God's kingdom on earth.
pour out of my Spirit--in contrast with the mere drops of all preceding time.
upon all flesh--hitherto confined to the seed of Abraham.
sons . . . daughters . . . young men . . . old men . . . servants . . . handmaidens--without distinction of sex, age, or rank.
see visions . . . dream dreams--This is a mere accommodation to the ways in which the Spirit operated under the ancient economy, when the prediction was delivered; for in the New Testament, visions and dreams are rather the exception than the rule.
19. I will show wonders, &c.--referring to the signs which were to precede the destruction of Jerusalem
21. whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved--This points to the permanent establishment of the economy of salvation, which followed on the breaking up of the Jewish state.
22-28. a man approved of God--rather, "authenticated," "proved," or "demonstrated to be from God."
by miracles . . . which God did by him--This is not a low view of our Lord's miracles, as has been alleged, nor inconsistent with John 2:11 , but is in strict accordance with His progress from humiliation to glory, and with His own words in John 5:19 . This view of Christ is here dwelt on to exhibit to the Jews the whole course of Jesus of Nazareth as the ordinance and doing of the God of Israel [ALFORD].
23. determinate counsel and foreknowledge--God's fixed plan and perfect foresight of all the steps involved in it.
ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain--How strikingly is the criminality of Christ's murderers here presented in harmony with the eternal purpose to surrender Him into their hands!
24. was not possible he should be holden of it--Glorious saying! It was indeed impossible that "the Living One" should remain "among the dead" ( Luke 24:5 ); but here, the impossibility seems to refer to the prophetic assurance that He should not see corruption.
27. wilt not leave my soul in hell--in its disembodied state
neither . . . suffer thine Holy One to see corruption--in the grave.
28. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life--that is, resurrection-life.
thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance--that is, in glory; as is plain from the whole connection and the actual words of the sixteenth Psalm.
29-36. David . . . is . . . dead and buried, &c.--Peter, full of the Holy Ghost, sees in this sixteenth Psalm, one Holy Man, whose life of high devotedness and lofty spirituality is crowned with the assurance, that though He taste of death, He shall rise again without seeing corruption, and be admitted to the bliss of God's immediate presence. Now as this was palpably untrue of David, it could be meant only of One other, even of Him whom David was taught to expect as the final Occupant of the throne of Israel. (Those, therefore, and they are many, who take David himself to be the subject of this Psalm, and the words quoted to refer to Christ only in a more eminent sense, nullify the whole argument of the apostle). The Psalm is then affirmed to have had its only proper fulfilment in JESUS, of whose resurrection and ascension they were witnesses, while the glorious effusion of the Spirit by the hand of the ascended One, setting an infallible seal upon all, was even then witnessed by the thousands who stood listening to Him. A further illustration of Messiah's ascension and session at God's right hand is drawn from Psalms 110:1 , in which David cannot be thought to speak of himself, seeing he is still in his grave.
36. Therefore--that is, to sum up all.
let all the house of Israel--for in this first discourse the appeal is formally made to the whole house of Israel, as the then existing Kingdom of God.
know assuredly--by indisputable facts, fulfilled predictions, and the seal of the Holy Ghost set upon all.
that God hath made--for Peter's object was to show them that, instead of interfering with the arrangements of the God of Israel, these events were His own high movements.
this same Jesus, whom ye have crucified--"The sting is at the close" [BENGEL]. To prove to them merely that Jesus was the Messiah might have left them all unchanged in heart. But to convince them that He whom they had crucified had been by the right hand of God exalted, and constituted the "LORD" whom David in spirit adored, to whom every knee shall bow, and the CHRIST of God, was to bring them to "look on Him whom they had pierced and mourn for Him."
37-40. pricked in their hearts--the begun fulfilment of Zechariah 12:10 , whose full accomplishment is reserved for the day when "all Israel shall
what shall we do?--This is that beautiful spirit of genuine compunction and childlike docility, which, discovering its whole past career to have been one frightful mistake, seeks only to be set right for the future, be the change involved and the sacrifices required what they may. So Saul of Tarsus ( Acts 9:6 ).
38. Repent--The word denotes change of mind, and here includes the reception of the Gospel as the proper issue of that revolution of mind which they were then undergoing.
baptized . . . for the remission of sins--as the visible seal of that remission.
39. For the promise--of the Holy Ghost, through the risen Saviour, as the grand blessing of the new covenant.
all afar off--the Gentiles, as in Ephesians 2:17 ), but "to the Jew first."
40. with many other words did he testify and exhort--Thus we have here but a summary of Peter's discourse; though from the next words it would seem that only the more practical parts, the home appeals, are omitted.
Save yourselves from this untoward generation--as if Peter already foresaw the hopeless impenitence of the nation at large, and would have his hearers hasten in for themselves and secure their own salvation.
Acts 2:41-47 . BEAUTIFUL BEGINNINGS OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
41-47. they that gladly received his word were baptized--"It is difficult to say how three thousand could be baptized in one day, according to the old practice of a complete submersion; and the more as in Jerusalem there was no water at hand except Kidron and a few pools. The difficulty can only be removed by supposing that they already employed sprinkling, or baptized in houses in large vessels. Formal submersion in rivers, or larger quantities of water, probably took place only where the locality conveniently allowed it" [OLSHAUSEN].
the same day there were added to them about three thousand souls--fitting inauguration of the new kingdom, as an economy of the Spirit!
42. continued steadfastly in--"attended constantly upon."
the apostles' doctrine--"teaching"; giving themselves up to the instructions which, in their raw state, would be indispensable to the consolidation of the immense multitude suddenly admitted to visible discipleship.
fellowship--in its largest sense.
breaking of bread--not certainly in the Lord's Supper alone, but rather in frugal repasts taken together, with which the Lord's Supper was probably conjoined until abuses and persecution led to the discontinuance of the common meal.
prayers--probably, stated seasons of it.
43. fear came upon every soul--A deep awe rested upon the whole community.
44. all that believed were together, and had all things common--(See on Ac 4:34-37 ).
46. daily . . . in the temple--observing the hours of Jewish worship.

And the Lord--that is, JESUS, as the glorified Head and Ruler of the Church.

such as should be saved--rather, "the saved," or "those who were being saved." "The young Church had but few peculiarities in its outward form, or even in its doctrine: the single discriminating principle of its few members was that they all recognized the crucified Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah. This confession would have been a thing of no importance, if it had only presented itself as a naked declaration, and would never in such a case have been able to form a community that would spread itself over the whole Roman empire. It acquired its value only through the power of the Holy Ghost, passing from the apostles as they preached to the hearers; for He brought the confession from the very hearts of men ( 1 Corinthians 12:3 ), and like a burning flame made their souls glow with love. By the power of this Spirit, therefore, we behold the first Christians not only in a state of active fellowship, but also internally changed: the narrow views of the natural man are broken through; they have their possessions in common, and they regard themselves as one family" [OLSHAUSEN].

Me saying, Peace out! and check out my ump themed tote!
Dear Mr. Balkin' Bob Davidson,
I'm going to be honest here. I'd never heard of you before today. When the broadcasters read out the umps name, they go blissfully into one of my ears. And then out the other.
You may have a secret passion for indie bands or a strong preference for black olives over green olives. Your favorite movie may be Jaws or maybe you're actually a rom-com guy and you loved Bride Wars. You may not find it the slightest bit suspiciously coincidental that movies called Horrible Bosses and Bad Teacher are coming out within a few weeks of each other. You may even live under a rock and be unaware that the Giants became World Champions for the first time since moving to San Francisco last year (pardon me if you actually umped the World Series or something) and are desperately, (dare I say it?) tortuously trying to defend that title right now.
Whoever you are and whatever bands you like, I have two things to say to you.
a) That is the loosest definition of a balk I have ever, ever seen.
b) Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.
See, today kicked off with the announcement that J-Sanch is on the disabled list with – cough, cough – bicep tendinitis- cough cough. I am very skeptical. I think they're just giving themselves 15 days to figure this mess out. The other part of the announcement was that Barry Zito was activated. Per the earlier statement, he will be starting the second game of the double header in Chicago on Tuesday.
So this is sort of an emotional time for me.
Don't laugh!
It really is. I hate seeing Sanchez struggle and even more I hate doubting that he really has tremendous ability inside. If you look up "maddening" in the dictionary, there is so a picture of him. At the same time, I am a huge Zito fan (you can say duh if you want to) and cautiously thinking this could be The Moment for him. A triumphant return. A fairy tale ending to the contract saga. Heck, a quality start. He hasn't pitched for the Giants since, what, April 17th? That's a long time. I am sort of mulling some "Barry" cupcakes in honor of the occasion. And crossing my fingers. Big time.
Anyway. That was all just to say, a win, albeit a terrifying 1-0 win, was very nice today. 'Preciate the help, Bill. Er, Bob. Whatever your name is.
We part as friends, right?
Diamond Girl

How to:
This DIY was easy-peasy. I peeled off the candle's label, brushed on the Mod Podge with a small paint brush, and finished by dousing them with glitter. That's it. Simple, right? If you're worried about little specs of glitter getting on your mantel or tables, you can add a second layer of Mod Podge to "seal" everything (don't worry, it will dry clear).
Similar DIY's: glitter clothespins | glitter pumpkins
Side note: I was being too stingy with the glue at first, as you can see in the photo above. Be sure to use a liberal amount of Mod Podge so you don't see any streaks once the glitter dries. In the photo below, you can see I added a lot more glue, which made it much easier to apply an even layer of glitter.

March 19 set for election to replace Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. — for now
BY DAVE MCKINNEY Springfield bureau chief firstname.lastname@example.com November 26, 2012 2:25PM
Gov. Pat Quinn's order setting election date
Related Documents
Updated: December 28, 2012 6:18AM
SPRINGFIELD — Gov. Pat Quinn has set March 19 as the date for a special election to fill the South Side and south-suburban congressional seat vacated last week by former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
But that date is not set in stone because the governor intends to go to state lawmakers for legislation that would allow the general election for the 2nd Congressional District to coincide with existing municipal elections April 9, a top Quinn aide said.
The governor has set Feb. 26 as the date of a primary.
"This special election will be carried out in a manner that is fair to the electorate and as economical as possible for taxpayers," Quinn said in a prepared statement. "By holding the special primary and general elections on the same days as existing contests, we can save significant taxpayer dollars and ensure the people of the 2nd District can make their voices heard."
Cook County Clerk David Orr estimated last week that it would cost the suburban counties more than $1 million to hold two separate elections. Orr said he and his counterparts in Chicago, and Will and Kankakee counties — the four areas included in Jackson's former 2nd Congressional District seat — plan to ask a judge to allow the special election held April 9, along with a primary on Feb. 26.
Quinn spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said the governor's staff has reached out to the legislative leaders to draft the necessary legislation to allow April 9 as a general election date.
State law required the governor to set a special election date since Jackson's resignation took place more than six months before the next election, which won't occur before 2014.
The same law dictated that Quinn had to establish the special election date within five days of Jackson's departure and that the special election occur within 115 days of the point when the governor files special-election paperwork with the secretary of state.
Since the April 9 municipal general election falls outside that 115-day window, the state Legislature would have to step in grant authority to move the special election date past March 19. Assuming that happens, a federal judge would have to sign off on the change.
The governor's approach drew backing from Orr.
"I believe it is in the public interest to synchronize the election dates with those already set to minimize costs, boost voter turnout and reduce voter confusion," Orr said in a prepared statement. "I support changing the statute to allow for an April 9 general election."
Jackson resigned from Congress last Wednesday, citing a federal investigation into alleged misspending of campaign funds and mental health issues that landed him at the Mayo Clinic.
Illinois is no stranger to special elections, the last one being in 2010 when Republican Mark Kirk defeated Democrat Alexi Giannoulias to fill out the remainder of Roland Burris' unexpired Senate term.
Earlier, Quinn's predecessor, imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, set special elections to fill congressional seats vacated by Mayor Rahm Emanuel when he left Congress to become President Obama's chief of staff and by former U.S. House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) when he gave up his seat in 2007.
Jackson himself was first elected in a special election in 1995 to replace Mel Reynolds, who was convicted of sexual misconduct, child pornography and obstruction of justice relating to an affair he had with a campaign volunteer who was a minor.

International Space Station marks 10 years of human occupation.
From CNN:
"The crew of the International Space Station marked the 10th anniversary of continuous human occupation of the orbiting science laboratory with a typical workday, pausing only briefly for a chat with NASA chief Charles Bolden and questions from international reporters."
"Since the first module, the Russian-built Zarya, launched on November 20, 1998, 103 vehicles have traveled to the station, bringing 196 people to visit or live long-term and conduct science experiments and other work, according to NASA. The station has traveled more than 1.5 billion miles -- the equivalent of eight round trips to the Sun. Human habitation of the station began in 2000."
From NASA:
"On Oct. 25, the station also set a record for being the longest continuously inhabited spacecraft. On that day, the International Space Station eclipsed the previous record of 3,644 days set by the Russian Mir Space Station. With each new day, NASA and its partners are pushing the envelope of human achievement in space into uncharted territory."
It never ceases to turn me into a thrilled, gleeful child whenever I see images taken from the ISS or read stories about it. The possibilities that arise, the wonderful humbling expanse of space, move me. There are very few positions I admire more than that of an astronaut.
The dangers involved, the time taken to train compared to the time spent doing what you've trained for, the lack of notoriety--your only chance of making the news is if you go down in a ball of flames--, all to be able to see the world without having a foot on it. Space is a magnificent mystery and for ten years humanity has had people living out in that unknown. I say, "Well done."
