You can find multiple running races every weekend in Chicago. So what makes you run some but not others?
Many of us get up early on weekends and head to a running race in the summer. What some people never get a chance to learn about is the charity each race supports. Just about every race has a beneficiary. And the Big Ten Network's Big 10K supports Special Olympics Chicago.
The race is this Saturday (July 26). There's about 150 volunteers at this Saturday, and the race starts and finishes at Soldier Field, the birthplace of the first Special Olympic games in 1968. Runners sport purple (Northwestern), red (University of Wisconsin) and other colors for each of the Big 10 schools. I had an opportunity to catch up with the Nelson family, who is very close to Special Olympics Chicago.
The Nelson family is very busy chasing after five children. Their second oldest child, Sean (14), is a Special Olympics athlete. "I have a cousin who has been participating in Special Olympics Chicago events for 30 years," explained Shannon Nelson. "When Sean was born my aunt called me to offer some advice to find a park program. She said, 'It will be a much needed respite for you.'"
She continued, "Special Olympics allows Sean to experience the same types of opportunities and successes his siblings and typically developing peers do. He loves going to school with his latest medals to show off, especially to the girls. It has provided him opportunities to demonstrate independence through trips downstate where he stays overnight away from us. Through Special Olympics, Sean is exposed to activities that he otherwise would not experience."
Ms. Nelson juggles her other children's activities as well. "My oldest is a recreational leader in the Special Recreation day camp at Norwood Park and a cross country runner," she explained. "The other children are into flag football, tennis, golf and Irish Dancing."
When they aren't busy running to activities you'll find them volunteering at some of the many races in Chicago that benefit Special Olympics. "We work with races on a variety of levels but always try to lend support where it's needed most," she said. "Usually along the course at an aid station or at the finish line.
"It's really exciting to be back again for a second year at the BTN Big 10k," added Susan Nicholl, with Special Olympics Chicago. "We have an amazing running team participated in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon with members representing 15 different states. We have a great cheering station located on Michigan Avenue at just about the 25.5 mile mark and the whole neighborhood supports as we distribute cow bells and cheer sticks to build excitement at this spot."
"Donations from races are very important to our mission to support the 22 sporting events that our 5,000 athletes participate in throughout the year," affirmed Ms. Nicholl. "Runners recognize that our Special Olympics Chicago superstars are their fellow athletes. They can relate to the fact that our athletes set goals, train, compete, experience an occasional injury, and ultimately reach that goal and set a new one! Financial support helps cover a variety of expenses including transportation to our events, event equipment, lunches, supplies, awards, travel expenses to other events and so much more."
If you are participating in the race this weekend, you'll be blown away by the competition between the schools, slip n' slides along the course and post race party…but don't forget to give the volunteers a high five and thank them for coming out to cheer everyone on and know that your participation in a race is helping kids like Sean.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
14 Your "prophets" have said so many foolish things, false to the core. They did not try to hold you back from exile by pointing out your sins. Instead, they painted false pictures, filling you with false hope. | 14 The visions of your prophets were false and worthless; they did not expose your sin to ward off your captivity. The oracles they gave you were false and misleading. |

.- Earlier this week, a simple question in a Spanish II class in Broomfield, Colorado triggered a heated discussion regarding immigration issues in the United States and resulted in a student declaring, "white power."
During the class, the question was presented: why do students have to learn Spanish? The typical high school classroom argument led to an intense debate on the topic of immigration concerns that resulted in at least one student repeating the phrase, "white power."
Jeanette DeMelo, the spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Denver commented, "It became a heated discussion and some rhetoric was used that was inappropriate for the classroom."
In a statement from Holy Family High School, the principal, Sr. Mary Rose Lieb explained that while it was a class of 30 students, fewer than six presented xenophobic opinions. "The remaining two-thirds were silent or voiced support for immigrants."
She also addressed earlier media reports, "Contrary to media reports, there were no chants by more than one student. Two students, who were offended, asked to leave the classroom and were given permission to leave. However, the discussion ended when other students realized how these students were affected and all of the students remained until the end of class."
"Holy Family High School is dedicated to being a family—through respect and charity for all its members. It's always had a diverse student body. It values that diversity and strives to be a place of unity and respect for all. The distortion and inaccurate reporting of this situation is hurtful to a community that should be praised for how well they get along in their diversity."
The school has also reported that the students involved are remorseful and have been disciplined. School officials have also discussed the issue with the teacher.

Home › Academics › Colleges › Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of English › News Events and Publications › Events Calendar › English Graduate Student Conference - Traversing the Transnational
Thursday, April 10, 2014 from 11:00 AM to 11:30 PM
The University of Tulsa's 2014 English Graduate Student Conference continues the investigation promoted by Fishkin, Janice Radway, Paul Gilroy, Paul Giles, and several other notable scholars into the effect transnationalism has on literary and cultural studies. Of particular interest is the paradoxical relationship between nation-states and identity formation; how do authors, readers, and literary cultures react against the very national ideologies which not only permeate literature, but also statically remain as social formations which affect individual subjectivity? Even as scholars and critics decry national exceptionalism as empty rhetoric, the abstract notions of nationalism are required to provide the foundation for reactionary criticism. Does the "transnational-diaspora complex," as defined by Donald Pease, strengthen or weaken nationalist ideologies? These are a few of the questions the University of Tulsa's 2014 English Graduate Student Conference will address, among others. We welcome myriad literary and cultural interests, and we hope this topic contributes to the larger debate among the humanities over the importance of a transnationalist perspective in our increasingly globalized society. We invite paper abstracts and complete panel proposals on all aspects of transnational literature throughout all genres of study.

I went for a nettles hunt and harvest at my friend's property on Vashon Island last week. I brought a couple of friends and we tried eating raw nettles for the first time. All you have to do is fold the leaf up from the bottom into a tiny package.... [more]

Clifton Park motorcyclist, 19, dies in crash on Route 9
Monday, April 16, 2012
Text Size:
HALFMOON A motorcyclist died Sunday after crashing into three vehicles on Route 9 at the intersection with Watkins Plaza.
According to the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office, 19-year-old Sean C. Obernesser of Clifton Park was riding his 2006 Suzuki motorcycle north on Route 9 at about 11 a.m. when he hit a left-turning 1999 Mercuty Sable driven by Henry Kurland.
Obernesser's bike continued on to hit a 2005 Hyundai driven by Nancy Marrinter, and then hit a stopped 2009 Hyundai operated by Andrew Mayo.
Clifton Park-Halfmoon Ambulance brought Obernesser to Albany Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
No tickets have been issued but the accident is under investigation according to the sheriff's office.

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft Review
Does any company have a better grasp on what makes a game triple-A than Blizzard? The company responsible for Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo, three genre-defining blockbuster franchises, has decided to step into the collectible card game genre with Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. Although this is Blizzard's first attempt at an online card game, it shouldn't be a surprise that it's packed with detail and play-tested to perfection. Similar to other iPad card-battling games like Rage Read More

I have a really hard time walking past a Gap store without going in. But I have an even more difficult time paying the ridiculous prices of some Gap basics. Fortunately, this weekend I didn't have the latter problem because the Gap is having a mega end-of-season sale. Not only were many of the winter and fall items on sale, but the Gap was also offering a 40 percent discount on top of the sale price in stores. I didn't go crazy in there because sizes in the store were quite limited. There is, however, a large selection of sizes, colors, and styles on sale online. Check out some of my favorites.

Being an Executive Edition member allows me to not miss a beat when it comes to the Industry business news. Definitely keeps me in the loop plus goes great with my morning joe.
- By Tony Perez, Surfer and Surfing magazinesI'm an avid reader of Shop-Eat-Surf because it's really the only online newsletter that I have found that is not only industry related, but also because it's not so "guy-centric." I find that a lot of the information I read on the site pertains to my business (as a swimwear designer) and keeps me up to date on what other companies and other women in the industry in general are doing which is not only inspiring but also helps me gauge the future direction of my business as well.
I feel privileged to read the Executive Edition because I know I am getting insider industry information before it hits the mainstream media channels. And it's always good to know what my friends are up to in the industry.

I was in Breckenridge, Colorado this weekend so stopped by Mountain Wave, one of the longest running core shops in town. I got a chance to catch up with owner John George to talk to him about what's hot in snowboard business and found out about the latest trends on the mountain
Overall, business is awesome and we are pretty close back to the 2007 numbers we had. Since 2008, we adjusted our buys so business has been really healthy and on the up and up. Then again, I have never been that guy to care about wicked growth. I just want to live my lifestyle and support the guys who work for me.
I think the biggest surprise that a lot of people and media don't speak about is the effects freeride skiing is having on snowboard business. At least half the kids over in the terrain park are freeride guys. Today, there's not a lot of difference between freeskiers and snowboarders in terms of dress and attitude. That wasn't the case years ago. I'd say half the ski kids are wearing Volcom.
That's obvious. We shifted helmets to our window display for the first time because it pulls everyone in the shop - parents, kids, skiers and snowboarders -- everyone wants a helmet these days.
Volcom still kills it for outerwear for us. Salomon boots do really well and we have carried them forever. We also have Nike boots.
Burton has stepped up their program and it seems like their technology gets better every year. I think a lot of people throw a lot of hate at Burton since they're the big guy, but the truth is they have done more research and design for the snowboard industry than anyone can even come close to.
PrimaLoft is a wonderful addition to this industry. It's a material that's been around for a while, but it seems like its really gaining momentum now.
CandyGrind Gloves are doing a good job around here in the Central Rockies and are well known and strong in this area. Union Bindings are doing well and gaining momentum, but they've been around for a while. They are definitely gaining market share.

Report: Karl suffers setback
Updated: March 24, 2010, 2:13 PM ET
ESPN.com news services
It is unlikely that Denver Nuggets coach George Karl will return to coaching before the playoffs, a source told ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan.
The Nuggets coach has already missed eight games since being diagnosed with neck and throat cancer last month. He is undergoing a rigorous six-week treatment program of radiation and chemotherapy.
Sources told Yahoo! Sports that Karl recently needed treatment for blood clots in his legs and lungs that surfaced while he was already undergoing treatment.

What's old is new again While automotive and medical device manufacturing may seem unrelated, the latter has benefited from the former. For example, manufacturing techniques developed for increasing the wear resistance of metallic camshafts are routinely used in hip implants. In both applications, performance and reliability are enhanced by increasing the strength of a metal part's surface. Now, an engineer in the Bourns College of Engineering at the University of California, Riverside seeks to extend this concept to medical devices.

PLOS ONE Insights into deadly coral bleaching could help preserve reefs Coral reefs are stressed because of climate change. Researchers from Northwestern University and The Field Museum of Natural History have discovered corals themselves play a role in their susceptibility to deadly coral bleaching due to the light-scattering properties of their skeletons. No one else has shown this before. Using optical technology designed for early cancer detection, the researchers discovered that reef-building corals scatter light in different ways to the symbiotic algae that feed the corals.

"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"
Helps Raise $37,000 for Baker Athletics!
On Friday, May 16 Baker University hosted its 5th Annual Wildcat Classic Golf Tournament that benefited the Baker Athletics department.
The tournament featured a total of 222 golfers and was played at the prestigious Alvamar Golf Course in Lawrence, Kan. Golfers were able to play nine holes on the private side and nine on the public side.
With the help of tournament organizers Director of Alumni and Corporate Relations, Doug Barth and Assistant Director of Athletics – Operations, Andrew Patch, the tournament raised over $37,000, all benefiting Baker student-athletes.
The tournament also featured a silent and live auction with 70 items including gifts such as a Tony Gonzalez autographed jersey, Jamaal Charles autographed jersey, KC Royals, KC Chiefs and KU basketball ticket packages and golf foursomes to some of the top golf courses in the KC metro area.
"The funds raised through this event will make a significant impact on all of our athletic programs and help us continue to compete at a championship caliber," said Director of Athletics Theresa Yetmar. "Thank you to everyone who had a hand in making this event such a success. It was truly a team effort."
This year's Wildcat Classic also added two new elements to the event. With the help of Troy Brin Alumni Manager for the Wounded Warrior Project, Baker was able to make a $1,000 donation to the Wounded Warrior Project, that donation was matched by two golfers Chris Costello and Baker alum Tony Rider for a total of a $3,000 donation. The Wounded Warrior project also had six warriors golf in the Classic.
"Civic engagement and servant leadership are values that we instill in our student-athletes and athletics staff," said Patch. "We felt the golf tournament would be a perfect opportunity to help other people in need and not just focus on ourselves. Doug and I have always admired the mission of the Wounded Warrior Project so it felt like a great idea to include this non-profit into the golf tournament."
The other new element of this year's tournament was the inaugural Girls Just Wanna Have Fun event.
Nearly 30 women attended the event that was also held at the Alvamar Golf Course clubhouse while the golfers were out on the course. The event consisted of a social hour with wine and cocktail tasting, as well as a massage, shopping with local vendors and a guest speaker, Baker alumna Jennifer Johnson '94. Jennifer spoke to the group about her book, Nordie's at Noon: The Personal Stories of Four Women "Too Young" For Breast Cancer.
"It has been fantastic putting together these new endeavors," said Patch. "We can definitely say that we grew our audience, raised more money for student-athletes, and helped donate funds that will empower members of our armed forces. In just one day Baker Athletics touched a lot of lives, and that's a pretty cool thing."
The Baker Athletics department would like to send a special thanks to Andrew Patch and Doug Barth for all of their hard work in organizing this years Wildcat Classic and would also like to thank Alex Affalter of Midwest Miller Coors for the beverage donation, also to all of our Girls Just Wanna Have Fun vendors and all of our volunteers that helped make the tournament run smoothly.
"This year's tournament was our best yet," said Barth. "The weather (minus the frost delay in the morning) was about as perfect as we could have ordered it. Our alumni and friends truly enjoyed playing at Alvamar and we received nothing but positive reviews.
"The success of this tournament relies heavily on our golfers and our sponsors. Sponsorships are critical in making this fundraising event a successful one. I also appreciate our new partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project and we were thrilled to donate $1,000 of our proceeds to this worthy organization. I can't wait for next year's tournament."

Why Do Purchase Escrows Fall Apart? (And Why Is It Happening More Often?)
There have always been real estate transactions that fall apart. The reasons why they fall apart are as varied as the people who enter into the transaction in the first place. Let's get back to the very basics for a moment. An offer to purchase is a representation that a given prospective buyer would be at least willing to purchase the property on the terms you are offering. Accepting that offer to purchase means that the seller is at least willing to sell it on the same terms that the buyer is offering to buy upon. If one or the other of these parties is not willing to consummate the deal on those terms, why was there both offer and acceptance? There was offer and acceptance, or there isn't anything more than negotiations to fall apart. People fail to reach agreement all the time. That's not what this article is about. It's about what happens to prevent the transaction from being completed after you have a valid contract.
The last credible figure I heard was that 50 percent of all escrows in San Diego County are falling apart. This means that one out of every two contracts don't happen. A few years ago, the proportion was a small fraction of that - I can't find it online, but I seem to remember 11%. This increase is both outrageous and preventable.
The first reason transactions fail is new information. It isn't cost effective or a good negotiations tool for a buyer to spend money on inspection and appraisal before there is an acceptable contract. When this information comes in, you can expect there to be a reassessment of the transaction, because you can expect there to be something about the property that does not conform to reasonable expectations. I certainly can't remember any transactions I've had where the inspections didn't reveal anything new. Most of the ones where I was buyer's agent, what was revealed was trivial enough to ignore, but never a one where there was nothing. Transfer disclosures from the current owner to the prospective buyer are another of the possibilities for new information to crop up.
All of this new information can indicate a need to subsequent negotiations when it comes to light. If the buyer thinks it's small enough that they are willing to accept the transaction "as is", they can choose to let the transaction continue on the track it's on. If it's big enough that they're unwilling to deal with the situation, they can also choose to walk away. The vast majority of the time, the sanest response is some new negotiations based upon the new information. This isn't normally about things like overall sales price, it's about getting the property into the condition and functionality that the buyer thought they were getting in the first place. Either party can be obstreperous and unreasonable at this point, effectively killing the transaction.
There's also the issue of cold feet, and the related issue of "grass is greener" syndrome. Either one can apply to either party in the transaction. In the first, the buyer decides they don't want to buy or the seller doesn't want to sell after all. In either case, they weren't really "sold" on the benefits of the transaction to them. "Grass is greener" is where they still want a deal, just not this deal. Those happen when markets are asymmetric in power. A few years ago, it was sellers who wanted to bail out of contracts they had duly negotiated because someone offered them a higher price. More recently, it's been buyers trying to pull out because they think they've found a better deal somewhere else. Both are vile. It's not a sin to want the best possible deal, but once you enter into a legal contract you should be prepared to honor your representation that you want that deal. Both of these phenomena are the fault of poor agents, and both are a good way to waste a lot of money in legal expenses when their clients are sued for specific performance. I don't want any part of agents that don't take appropriate steps to prevent either one of these in their clients, and I take note when I hear about them. It's also a reason not to take an attitude of "no quarter!" in negotiations. My client signed that offer or contract because those terms will make them happy. If the other side decides they need to bail out because the terms are odious, my client isn't happy.
Closer to the point is ability to perform. This can be a seller who can't or won't or doesn't meet their obligations in a timely fashion. Delivering good title to the buyer is kind of important to the transaction, and it does occasionally happen that the seller can't do this. Or they don't have the money to make needed repairs, or just won't get off their backside to actually do it.
But far more commonly, it's the ability of the buyer to perform their obligations under the contract that kills the transaction. I have heard about occasional buyers who couldn't or wouldn't or didn't perform on other scores, but the most central of these in the current market, and the reason for at least 90% of the rise in failed transactions, is that the buyer cannot qualify for the necessary loan.
The Era of Make-Believe Loans is over, but judging by the evidence, there's an awful lot of people who haven't figured this out yet. That's the first thing I want to find out when I get a new buyer into my office: What's the evidence of their ability to qualify for the necessary loan? How much do they make, what are their other payments, what is their credit score, how much do they have for a down payment, and is there anything about their situation which might be a cause for concern during the loan process? I don't want to give them the third degree, but I want to be confident I'm not wasting their time or mine, and that I'm not setting them up for a failed transaction. Failed transactions don't make clients happy, they waste the client's money, and they aren't any good for my business, either.
A few years ago, if somebody came into my office with a 580 to 600 credit score and two years in the same line of work, chances were excellent that a loan could be done - even 100% financing. That is not the case currently, and the time to plan the loan is before the clients fall in love with the property they can't afford.
Lest I be unclear: except for VA loans,100% financing is completely gone (at least for right now). The same thing applies to Stated Income loans. Purchase contracts not written in concordance with current loan underwriting standards are going to fail and that is as predictable as gravity. Write the purchase contract wrong, and you have killed the deal before it begins because there's something there that's not going to be acceptable to the lender, and sometimes it can prevent other folks from signing off on the deal as well. Furthermore, if the required steps in the contract are going to cause the seller to balk, you're better off finding out before you've got a contract.
The loan environment, especially for loans above 80% loan to value ratio, has changed drastically in the last few years, and all of the changes thus far have been in the nature of making qualification more difficult.
Even the government programs like VA and FHA with their low down payment requirements have their stumbling blocks. Not only do they require a buyer to qualify via full documentation of income (as do ALL government-based loan programs), but there are subsidiary requirements as well. Some properties are not eligible, period. Some people (and some companies) can't be involved, period. Investment property and second homes are iffy to doubtful with the VA and practically non-existent for FHA. It's a real good idea to know if you're going to hit one of these roadblocks before you are sixty days into a transaction that's not going to happen, and now we're all going to pay lawyers to fight over the deposit.
When I list a property, I want real information that tells me a loan is doable for this borrower before I advise my client to accept a given offer. Pre-qualification is a joke and even pre-approvals aren't anything to put stock in. The only examples of either that I trust are ones that I wrote, because I know what went into them. However, Steering is illegal. I can't require the buyer to get their loan through me or even to talk to me (or anyone else of my choosing). What I can do is require their loan officer fill out my form and provide documentation that enables me to determine whether a loan is doable or not. If I can't find a lender that can fund that loan, we've got a problem. When I'm the listing agent, it's kind of important to know this before we counter.
Unfortunately, we've had ten years where loan money was easy to get, no matter how ridiculous the transaction, and it's left a very strong imprint on many agents. Many have literally known no other environment, and they're finding it hard to make the necessary mental changes. I haven't been in the business ten years, either, but I do understand how the loan environment has tightened up and its effects upon my clients. Even the agents who have been in the business much longer may have no real grasp of the loan environment and often they're just checking off the box that says, "pre-qualification" on the checklist because that shows they did their due diligence. That isn't going to fly anymore. It may or may not help them when they're defending against a lawsuit, but it certainly isn't going to make their future ex-client happy about the thousands of dollars they lost, either because they couldn't qualify or because their prospective buyer couldn't.

One of the few quibbles I have with my car is the fact that as the ultra-base model KA, I have 1. no rev counter & 2. no central locking. With irritating quibble 1. on the way to being solved, I have turned my mind to the issue of a lack of no central locking.
After installing a new head unit and speakers (as well as running speaker cabling under my carpet to the boot for a pair of alpines in my shelf), I noticed the KA has a cable operated locking system. I know from past experience (although a poor one), that remote-central-locking kits exist for cars with cable operated locking systems, and was wondering if this could be a solution to my problem. However I was also wondering if I could nip to a breakers and perhaps grab the servos and wiring from there to fit them to my car (although admittedly I'd have to play electrician, not that its a problem).
This leads me to the point. Does anyone have any experience with the electronic central locking available in the KA, and if so what would you suggest?
Any help and suggestions are appreciated
