The Oroville Union High School District is located in the rural north valley at the base of the Sierra Nevada foothills, about seventy miles north of Sacramento. The district encompasses 723 miles of eastern Butte County. The district has two comprehensive high schools, one continuation school, one community day school and one adult education school. The Butte-Glenn Community College and California State University, Chico are located approximately 25 miles from Oroville.
Oroville is the Butte County seat and the primary source of income for the city's population of 15,563 residents (55,000 in the greater Oroville area). Other significant sources of income are agriculture, light manufacturing, tourism, retail trade services, transportation, public utilities, construction, finance, government and public administration. The 2009 median household income in the city was $38,824.
Comprehensive High Schools
Oroville High School was founded in 1892 and is the oldest high school in the district. The eighteen-acre campus has fifty-five classrooms and seven computer labs, which are all connected to the Internet. The building has seen several upgrades over its many years in existence. Bond Measure, J, which passed in 2002, provided monies for a new science building, industrial technology building and library and modernization of the gymnasium. Most recently, Oroville High added new baseball and softball fields. Oroville High School employs 3 administrators and nearly 75 staff members. There are approximately 1100 students enrolled at the school.
Las Plumas High School was established in 1960 as the second comprehensive high school to alleviate overcrowding at Oroville High School. The sixty-four acre campus is the largest school in the district. The original buildings have been supplemented during growth phases by 40 portables. Bond Measure J, which passed in 2002, provided the monies for the new gymnasium, agricultural science lab and classrooms, fine arts complex and modernization of the existing classrooms. Las Plumas High School is supervised by 3 administrators and employs nearly 100 staff members. There are approximately 1200 students enrolled at the school.
Both campuses offer a traditional high school time schedule. The Monday schedule has six periods of class time (50 minutes each) followed by collaboration time for teachers. The Tuesday through Friday schedule has six periods of class time (57 minutes each) and a consultation period from 12:06 p.m. - 12:30 p.m. to provide time for students to receive extra help from their teachers. The consultation periods are also used to hold meetings for Individual Education Plans (IEP's), Section 504 Plans and Student Study Teams (SST's).
Continuation School
Prospect High School was founded in 1969 as the continuation program for the district. The school serves approximately 110 students who are credit deficient or in need of a smaller school environment. The school was chosen by the State of California as a Model School in 1994 and in 2000. Prospect High School has a principal that serves the entire alternative education program, 7 certificated teachers, a part-time counselor and 5 classified employees. Prospect also houses an Early Head Start center for teen parents.
Community Day School
The OUHSD Community Day School was founded in 1999. The school serves approximately 30 students who have been referred there by expulsion, probation placement or truancy referral. The restrictive environment offers an educational option for students with high expectations, whether the student is performing at or above grade level, or in need or remediation in one or more academic areas. Community Day School has a principal that serves the entire alternative education program, 2 certificated teachers and 3 classified employees.
Adult School
Oroville Adult Education Career and Technical Center serves approximately 2,000 youths and adults annually with academic and vocational programs. Academic programs include High School Diploma, General Education Diploma (GED) preparation, computer applications, job readiness, English as a Second Language (ESL), Adult Basic Education (ABE), independent study and Career Exploration. Vocational Certification programs include Office Technology and Accounting.

Friends of Lulu Award Winners Announced, New Website, Organization Followup
- Posted by Johanna on October 30, 2010 at 11:17 am
- Category: Comic News
This year's Friends of Lulu awards were presented last night at the Long Beach Comic Con. According to an official source, 1164 people participated in the online voting. The winners are:
Leah Adezio Award for Best Kid-Friendly Work: Diana Nock: The Intrepid Girlbot
Best Female Character: Ramona Flowers: Scott Pilgrim, Bryan Lee O'Malley
Kim Yale Award for Most Talented Newcomer: Kathryn Immonen, The Runaways
Lulu of the Year: Kate Beaton
Woman of Distinction Award: Lauren Sankovitch, editor, Marvel Comics
Female Cartoonists Hall of Fame: Alison Bechdel
That's a good, well-recognized slate, with many of the odder choices I feared not winning, thankfully. The only one I got right was Kathryn Immonen — I'm not a very good predictor, I'm afraid.
The full announcement can be found on the group's new website, which should provide an official source of information going forward.
In other Friends of Lulu news, Kynn Bartlett, one of the acting board members, provided this statement regarding my questions about the group's future:
Obviously, the question of our IRS status is one of the most important issues facing the acting board as we move forward. As soon as we've got the all the details worked out, we'll be making the appropriate announcements; until then, we're asking people to hold off on donations until our tax status is formalized.
We will be working on appointing an interim president until such time as we can have elections. Right now I don't yet know when that will be, but there is a sense on the acting board that we want to move forward on this as soon as we are able and not maintain the current situation.
One of our primary goals is the regeneration of the board and moving from our acting board of volunteers to an elected, representative board structure. We're looking for women (or even men!) inside and outside of the comics industry who want to help us chart a new path for 2011 and beyond. Our acting board right now is just an interim group, and that's why we are concentrating on metaphorically tidying up the Friends of Lulu clubhouse to make it ready for the future board. We don't want to tie their hands, limit their creativity, or commit them to activities before they're even here.
That makes sense, and I appreciate her response to me. It is going to take a lot of patience and hard work to get the group back on firm footing and tidy up most of the messes, but it sounds like the acting board recognizes that and is proceeding slowly but steadily.

A $1.3 billion settlement with BP Plc is expected to be announced today by US Attorney General Eric Holder regarding the companies actions related to the Gulf Oil Spill. The company was charged with reckless management of the Macondo well that saw eleven oil workers killed and billions of dollars in fisheries destroyed in the Gulf of Mexico.
BP Plc is expected to pay a record U.S. criminal penalty and plead guilty to criminal misconduct in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster through a plea deal reached with the Department of Justice that may be announced as soon as Thursday, according to sources familiar with discussions.
Three sources, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said BP would plead guilty in exchange for a waiver of future prosecution on the charges.
BP confirmed it was in "advanced discussions" with the Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC).
The talks were about "proposed resolutions of all U.S. federal government criminal and SEC claims against BP in connection with the Deepwater Horizon incident," it said in a statement on Thursday, but added that no final agreements had been reached.
The discussion do not cover federal civil claims, both BP and the sources said.

text: 23rd Sept 2012 (source toi):Crowd favourite Lohitt Urs (co-driver B.S. Sujith Kumar) of Team PGA Motorsports claimed his maiden Karnataka-1000 title in nine attempts as he comfortably defended his overnight lead by clocking the fastest time overall in the first round of the FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship on Sunday. Urs from Mysore gave a brilliant exhibition of power driving during the 2.6 km long Spectator Special Stage, clocking two minutes, 55.2 seconds in his stock Mitusubishi Lancer Cedia, just two seconds adrift of the day's quickest man, Zuhin A. (Musa Sherif) of Team Kajah Motorsports, who was in a four-wheel drive Subrau Impreza WRX STi, the lone entry in the Indian National Championship category. Urs, whose father Vijay had won the K-1000 as a co-driver to Prakash Kadur way back in 1984, was over the moon and dubbed his success as "very, very special" as he finished 36.7 seconds clear of second placed Amittrajit Ghosh ( Ashwin Naik) while young Karna Kadur (Somonita Ghosh) came in third in the INRC class (Group N, 2000cc). Equally special was 18-year-old collegian from Mangalore Dean Mascarenhas (Shruptha Padiwal), who won his fourth career title by topping the Junior INRC class, sparing over five minutes to Karan AM (Shanmuga SN).

Mental Health & Mental Illness
While taking care of our body is an extremely important job and most of us do realise that, one thing that many of us seem to overlook is the fact that the importance of mental health is no less than physical health. The different problems that were are currently facing with regard to mental health nowadays are quite staggering and the number of people who are falling victim to the wide range of mental illnesses is starting to cause serious problems in the society too. With problems that are as small and regular as stress and as serious as schizophrenia affecting people all around us, it is important that we aware ourselves of the things that cause it and more importantly, what is being done to prevent it. Keeping in touch with the way the mental health services are being developed is important to not only know what the field of medicine has achieved but also to see what potential problems we may be facing. This article will be covering some of the most important current news with regard to mental health so keep reading to find out more.
Reduction in mental health services for children in UK
The psychologists all over the UK are starting to show concern regarding the attitude that the health services industry has taken in the recent time regarding the mental health of adolescents and children. According to a recent survey, people are reporting serious downfalls in both the quality and the extent of the service that is made available to them by their health services. The biggest problem that has been reported is the acceptance criteria of the different health services as 71% of the people surveyed said that their service had tightened their criteria of selection. More than half of the people in the survey were also showing concerns about the quality of service they were getting, especially in the case of children who required intensive care. There were several other problems too including no after-hours services for nearly half of the participants of the survey and an absence of certain treatments for half the participants in the last three years. The concern is quite serious and there is a strong need to bring improvements in the quality of services being provided for maintaining mental health.
Suicide and its relation with unemployment
Unemployment is a problem that has been strongly related to a deteriorating mental health and in a recent study conducted by a team from the University of Zurich it has been found that unemployment is the cause of more than 45000 suicides worldwide every year. The data was derived from the mortality database of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and also from the Economic Outlook Database of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The research spanned over four different regions of the world and covered suicides reported from 63 countries. According to the research, the rates have increase significantly in the recent years with an overall increase of 20-30% between 2000 and 2011. What is more alarming is the fact that these statistics make unemployment far deadlier than any problems that one may have faced due to economic crisis. What is truly troubling though is that researchers say that this is just the tip of the iceberg and the overall impact of a lack of economic well-being on mental health is much greater.
Lack of mental health care for prisoners
In a recent research conducted in the University of Texas at Dallas by Dr. Nadine Connell, who is a professor of criminology, it has been found that the mental health care for the prisoners has been deteriorating quite seriously in the recent times. The number of inmates who were suffering from different mental illnesses is quite large and a staggering 25% of all inmates have been diagnosed with a mental illness at some point in their life. With only a 10th of the mentally ill inmates receiving proper medication for their problems, the results were quite clear in showing how little was being done to ensure the mental well-being of the inmates. A major reason this lack of proper care is the tight budget that every prison has and the study focuses on the importance of providing proper facilities. Dr. Nadine has clearly stated that providing proper services can not only help in reducing the chances of recidivism but will also as a result ensure a safer and healthier society, both in and outside the prison.

Recent Health News
Keeping informed with the latest developments in the field of medicine and the health industry is extremely important. Not only does it mean that we are serious about taking good care of our health, it is also important if we want to make sure that we do not end up catching a disease that may be recently discovered. Some of the news shared here is of the same exact nature and it is also the reason why we should keep ourselves updated at often as possible. To find out about the recent developments in the health sector, read on.
New Aggressive HIV Strain
In a recent study, scientists have found a new strain of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV in Cuba and it is believed to be extremely aggressive. The scientists have said that the virus is capable of spreading so fast that it can already form symptoms of HIV before the person who has contracted it even knows about it. The formation of this new strain is said to have been caused when a person has unprotected sex with several infected partners and as a result of this the virus develops within the person and forms the new aggressive strain. According to the research, the result of getting infected with this aggressive strain is that the person has a lot less number of healthy years as compared to a normal HIV infected patient and the amount of virus infection found in the people infected with this strain is also very huge. The need to get tested has now become all the more important and scientists have declared that the people who are used to having unprotected sex with multiple partners should get themselves tested immediately in order to avoid any complications in the future.
Black market for blood in China amid a shortage of healthcare
In the recent times, China has seen a very large increase in their requirement for healthcare and a shortage of blood in the market has led to the formation and growth of a black market for blood. The fact that it is an extremely important commodity in the health sector means that there is no way of stopping people from buying blood off the black market and this can lead to problems that are harmful to both the economy and the health sector. However, the doctors themselves are now saying that since there isn't enough blood to supply to patients using traditional means, the fact that the patients are buying blood themselves is actually very helpful for them. In addition to this the multiple scandals that have been surrounding the different health organisations like the Red Cross in China have also been worsening the situation. With a loss of credibility and several incidents of unhygienic and unethical practices surfacing, it is becoming more and more difficult for the authorities to control this growth of this new black market. The question now is that whether or not the black market will do any good for the healthcare industry and if the problem will be solved before the country falls into a healthcare crisis.
New device research to help deaf children in hearing
Angelica Lopez is a 3 year old child who is helping in the recent breakthrough that scientists have made in helping deaf children gain the power of hearing. Having undergone a brain surgery, Lopez has an implant in her brain which bypasses the part of her ear where the wiring is missing. The tests have shown her hearing sounds for the first time and mimicking them using this technology called an ABI or auditory brainstem implant. The device was approved 15 years ago by FDA and after years of development, this proper testing has shown that the implant certainly has the potential to work. However, the technology is still limited and the amount of complexity involved in training the child is immense, meaning that a lot of work needs to be done still before it can be declared a success. One major concern here is also the fact that it is very delicate surgery and involves going into the deeper parts of the brain. The safety of performing such procedures on children and the potential hazards involved in it have also been pointed out by the researchers of University of South California (Los Angeles) who are performing the study. Whatever the case, the development is certainly an amazing breakthrough and if it can be made safe, it is definitely worth the effort and sacrifice.

The Dangers of Obesity
Obesity is in essence the abnormal accumulation of fat in the body and it shouldn't be too hard to understand that anything abnormal in the body is a danger to it. It is very crucial to understand this issue properly if we are to combat it with successful results. In order to help you with that, we have decided to provide you with a comprehensive outlook on obesity so that you can plan your fight against it in a better and more effective manner.
Understanding obesity and its causes
Obesity is basically the accumulation of excessive amount of fats in the body which lead to a person gaining an abnormal amount of weight. It is actually considered to be a disorder and that alone should give an idea about its seriousness. While most people may think of it as a cosmetic problem, the health risks related to obesity are actually very serious.
There are a number of different reasons that can lead to an onslaught of obesity and each and every one of them needs to be tackled differently since all of them have different parameters. The reasons that lead to a person becoming overweight or obese include the following.
- Sedentary lifestyle: Being a couch potato it seems is becoming the biggest reason of all in the occurrence of obesity. With so much ease provided to us in our daily lives by technology, we have become used to not moving around as much as we once used to and that has led to a piling up of the calories we consume, the level of which has obviously not gone down.
- Pregnancy: It is a very common thing to see women who are pregnant gaining weight. This is actually necessary too since the extra food consumption is what is required to keep the fetus healthy. However, once they have given birth, most women find it very difficult to lose the weight that they have gained and that leads to obesity.
- Medical reasons: There are several medical conditions that upset the body's energy balance and while a person may have had a good healthy lifestyle, the disease can take all that away and bring about a sudden gain in weight. This can lead to a proper development of obesity in those people and both men and women are equally vulnerable to this problem.
- Unhealthy eating: This is one of the most common known reasons for obesity now, especially in the first world countries. With food chains providing foods that are rich in bad calories and have very little nutrients, the ultimate result is an excessive amount of consumption and eventually, the onslaught of obesity.
The above reasons can also provide us with an idea of the type of people who are at a risk of becoming obese. If you have an inactive lifestyle, bad eating habits or other medical reasons, you are very much at the risk of becoming obese.
Health problems
Obesity can lead to several very serious problems if not tended to properly and on time. As far as the physical deterioration is concerned, since obesity is usually coupled with inactivity, it leads to deterioration in muscles which can be very problematic when you need to perform strenuous activities. Also the weight gain is in itself a very serious troublemaker since it can put a lot of stress on the bones, causing them to become weak. Last but not the least, the excessive fat that is being consumed leads to an abnormal amount of cholesterol precipitation in the blood vessels and that can lead to blockages and serious heart diseases too. Problems as serious and sometimes fatal as pulmonary embolism have been associated with cholesterol accumulation in the blood vessels that is caused by obesity.
Treating obesity
In simple words, the process required to control obesity has to be the complete opposite of the things that actually led to its development in the first place. To reverse inactivity, one has to change their lifestyle, stop being a couch potato and start exercising on a daily basis. The food consumption needs to be controlled and all the junk food needs to be replaced by fresh and healthy food. In addition to that the composition of the diet also has to be right, meaning that the right amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates should be consumed daily. As for those who have medical reasons, they must contact their physician immediately and discuss the problem to find a suitable cure.
If you are interested in further exploration on the topic, here is a link for UK government policies regarding the issue.
The Importance of Exercise
Although there are all kinds of things, both natural and artificial that people do nowadays to achieve the perfect body and health, there is one particular activity that has been tested and proven its worth for many years without failing. This activity is exercise and the benefits and importance it carries are simply endless. Understanding why we need to exercise and then implementing it into our lifestyles is one of the most important goals of life and to help you with that, this article will describe all the crucial things you need to know.
Sedentary lifestyles
To understand the importance of exercise, we must focus on the problem that it is a solution to. With the advancements in technology, we have been provided with solutions to so many tasks that we would otherwise have to perform physically. While being physically involved on a daily basis we automatically kept our bodies active and strong, the lack of those opportunities has led to a sedentary lifestyle that is eroding our bodies in several ways. Therefore it is important that we realise why exercise is an important part of our life and what benefits it carries.
Benefits to health
Just like a whetstone is used to keep a blade sharp, exercise plays the most vital role in making sure that our body also remains at its optimum performance level. We move around and do even the smallest tasks using our muscles and it is exercise that keeps these muscles fully toned and ready to perform all kinds of tasks. If you do not sharpen a blade, it would start to get blunt and soon it would become useless. Similarly, if you do not use your muscles properly and spend your time relaxing all the time, you body will start to deteriorate and then when you will really need to perform physically, you won't be able to do so. But this is just the core of the whole idea and the overall benefits that exercise has on our health are simply endless. Our bodies are not just strengthened physically but also mentally and when the two come together, we can not only fight off physical damage to our body but also be strong in resisting against chemical impacts like diseases.
Types of exercise and routine
Although exercise is very crucial to a healthy lifestyle, the simple rule of thumb that applies here like all other places is that excess of everything is bad. We should do exercise but only as much as we can afford to. No one is born with a body that can take endless endurance and it is only through time that we grow stronger. For all of you who are at the beginning stage of developing a daily exercise routine, you are advised to perform mild aerobic exercise like running or different warming up and stretching exercises. Taking on too much pressure can lead to muscular and other physical damage which is something you really don't want.
Scientific evidence
Over the years, scientists have indulged themselves in countless tests to prove the fact that having an active body is much more important than we realise. The differences in terms of endurance, performance level and stamina that have been derived from countless researches show differences that are clear as day. Even if we look around, we can easily compare a person who has a sedentary lifestyle to one who has an active body and see how different the two really are. Presenting statistics would be pointless for something that is so clearly understandable but if you still want proof, you can find it anywhere.
Improved stamina
Regular exercise leads to the development of stamina, something which can prove to be extremely crucial when you find yourself in a difficult situation. Having the strength to endure adverse environments for prolonged periods of time is very important for living long and healthy and if we look at the bigger picture, this is what the whole concept of natural selection and survival of the fittest is all about too.
Increased strength
We are often faced with situations where our physical strength is tested and if we are not properly trained to endure that strain then it could lead to a lot of problems too. But the simple fact is that a healthy body is not only useful, it is also very attractive and when it comes to social acceptance, we can clearly see that strong people are given more attention than those who are weak and unhealthy.

OK....I will admit to being a fairly stereotypical Madison voter.
I need to decide whether to vote in the Democratic or Republican primary on August 14.
It happens I do not have an Assembly option on August 14, so if I spent my vote with the Dems, I would (only) be choosing sides in the Pocan v. Kelda (maddening, embarassing...) mudfight, and splitting hairs in the only contested contests, the (Dane) county clerk and treasuer.
OR, I could vote in the fascinating Republican US Senate primary.
At this time, I am leaning this way. Frankly, I don't think Tammy can win in November, so I am thinking I should vote now for the Repub who would be the least bad, and I honestly think that would be Tommy....if ONLY because at his age, it would be the final act of his career, and he doesn't owe or need to prove anything, and he just might do something interesting, unlike those 3 mean little boys running against him.
What say you?

The owner of CresCom Bank is making it easier for investors to buy and sell its shares by moving its stock to a national exchange.
Charleston-based Carolina Financial Corp. began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on Tuesday morning.
Shares rose 1.8 percent, or 35 cents, to close at $20.13 on the first day, giving them a total market value of $77.5 million.
"Being listed on the Nasdaq is a significant accomplishment for Carolina Financial Corp.," CEO Jerry Rexroad said in a written statement. "Moving to the Nasdaq is part of our strategic plan to provide our shareholders liquidity in their stock."
Carolina Financial began offering shares to the public in October under the ticker symbol CARO. Until this week, they could be bought and sold only through the more cumbersome OTC Bulletin Board, which displays real-time quotes, prices and sales volume data for stocks that aren't listed on a big exchange.
Carolina Financial applied for a spot on the Nasdaq in February.
As of March 31, Carolina Financial had $919 million in assets, making it the largest bank based in the tri-county area.
Its CresCom unit has 12 branches in the Charleston and Myrtle Beach markets. Earlier this week, the coastal lender announced it had hired a Greenville-based executive to help the bank establish a presence in the Upstate market.
The company's Atlanta-based Crescent Mortgage Co. originates home loans in 43 states through 2,000 banks, credit unions and brokers.
First-quarter earnings at Carolina Financial fell 56 percent to $1.94 million, largely because of falling demand for mortgage products.
The company joins several other locally based businesses with shares that trade on a major exchange. The others are the Bank of South Carolina Corp., Benefitfocus Inc., Blackbaud Inc. and Southcoast Financial Corp.

Not Your Mama's Fish Stew
Stews are usually considered a winter food, but the lightness of fish can turn stew into a dinnertime staple all year long. Fish stew is hearty food, but fresh – especially when you're able to use tomatoes and herbs you've grown yourself paired with the day's catch. Our fish stew – jokingly named Not Your Mama's Fish Stew because we think she'll love it as much as we do – serves four and is simple to prepare, even after a long day out on the water.
- 6 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 c. finely chopped onions
- 2 large garlic cloves, sliced thin
- 2/3 c. fresh parsley, chopped fine
- 1 c. fresh chopped tomato
- 2 tsp. of tomato paste
- 2 tsp. creole seasoning
- 1 tsp. salt
- 8 oz. of clam juice, fish stock, or veggie stock
- 2/3 c. dry white wine
- 1 1/2 lb. mild white fish fillets cut into 2-inch pieces
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over a medium flame until it shimmers. Add onion and garlic, and sauté for four minutes. Add the parsley and sauté another two minutes. Next, add the tomato, tomato paste, and seasonings, and cook until the flesh of the tomato has gone soft.
Pour in the clam juice and wine, and bring to temperature. Add the fish and cook until just cooked through, which should take less than 10 minutes. Serve in bowls with warm, crusty bread on the side and a fresh spring mix salad.

The Illinois Supreme Court is the highest court in Illinois. The court includes seven justices who are elected in partisan elections.
The current justices of the court are:Judge | Term | Party |
Justice Robert Thomas | 2000-2020 | Republican |
Justice Lloyd Karmeier | 2004-12/1/2024 | Republican |
Justice Charles Freeman | 1990-2020 | Democratic |
Chief Justice Rita Garman | 2001-2022 | Republican |
Justice Thomas Kilbride | 2000-2020 | Democratic |
Justice Mary Jane Theis | 2010-2022 | Democratic |
Justice Anne M. Burke | 2006-2018 | Democratic |
The court has limited original jurisdiction, hears appeals of right in death penalty cases and cases where the constitutionality of laws has been called into question, and has a docket of discretionary appeal from the Illinois Appellate Court. Along with the state legislature, the court promulgates court rules for the state as a whole. The Supreme Court has general administrative and supervisory authority over all courts in the state. This authority is exercised by the Chief Justice with the assistance of the Administrative Director and staff appointed by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court hears appeals from lower courts and may exercise original jurisdiction in cases relating to revenue, mandamus, prohibition or habeas corpus. Also, its members have the authority to appoint trial judges to the appellate court on a temporary basis.[1]
Judicial selection
- Main article: Illinois Supreme Court elections
Justices on the court run for ten-year terms in partisan elections. Each justice represents one of the five Supreme Court judicial districts in Illinois; the First District which consists of Cook County and Chicago, elects three of the justices; the remaining four choose one each.[2] To be re-elected, the justice must run in an uncontested, non-partisan retention election, whereby the justice must win at least 60% of the vote to be retained. After an appointment, the justice must run for a full term at the next general election in a partisan election that is more than 60 days after the appointment.[3] The current political landscape of the Supreme Court of Illinois consists of four justices elected on the Democratic ticket, and three justices elected on the Republican ticket.
Political outlook
In October 2012, political science professors Adam Bonica and Michael Woodruff of Stanford University attempted to determine the partisan outlook of state supreme court justices in their paper, State Supreme Court Ideology and 'New Style' Judicial Campaigns. A score above 0 indicated a more conservative leaning ideology while scores below 0 were more liberal. The state Supreme Court of Illinois was given a Campaign finance score (CFscore) which was calculated for judges in October 2012. At that time, Illinois received a score of -0.31. Based on the justices selected, Illinois was the 15th most liberal court. The study is based on data from campaign contributions by judges themselves, the partisan leaning of contributors to the judges or, in the absence of elections, the ideology of the appointing body (governor or legislature). This study is not a definitive label of a justice but rather, an academic gauge of various factors.[4]
To be considered eligible to be a Judge or Associate Judge, a person must be a United States citizen, a license attorney of Illinois, and a resident of the district which selects the Judge.[5] Additionally, "No change in the boundaries of a unit shall affect the tenure in office of a Judge or Associate Judge incumbent at the time of such change."
Removal of justices
"Illinois judges may be removed in one of two ways:
- The judicial inquiry board files complaints with the courts commission. After notice and hearing, the commission may reprimand, censure, suspend, retire, or remove a judge.
- Judges may be impeached by a majority vote of the house of representatives and removed by a two-thirds vote of the senate."[6]

Notable decisions
Courtroom Weekly: Illinois Supreme Court closes tax loophole for Chicago businesses, December 19, 2013
Blagojevich suit
In December 2008, three citizens filed suit in the Supreme Court in the case Bambenek et al v. Milorad R. Blagojevich concerning the ability of Governor Rod Blagojevich to continue serving in office after his arrest on corruption charges. The Court is asked to consider ruling Blagojevich unfit to serve pursuant to the "other disability" clause of the Illinois Constitution, Article V, Section 6(b). The full name of the case is "John C. Bambenek, Adam Andrzejewski, and John Tillman, citizens of the state of Illinois v. Milorad R. Blagojevich, in his official capacity as Governor of the State of Illinois." The text of the brief can be viewed here. On December 17, 2008, the Supreme Court denied, without comment, hearing this suit as well as an identical suit filed by Attorney General Lisa Madigan.[8]
Certification of Burris appointment
The appointment of United States Senator-Designee Roland Burris is making its way to the Illinois Supreme Court. The case seeks to compel Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White to sign the certification papers of Roland Burris to the U.S. Senate. U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, during a January 7, 2009 press conference, cited a Senate rule dating back to the 1800's that requires both the certification of the Governor and Secretary of State.[9]
On Janauary 9, 2009 the Illinois Supreme Court voted unanimously to refuse to compel Secretary of State Jesse White of Illinois to sign the document that would make his Senate Appointment official pursuant to rules of the United States Senate.[10]
In issuing the ruling, Illinois Supreme Court Justice Lloyd Karmeier said White's signature was not needed for Burris to be seated in the Senate.
"We note ... that nothing in the published rules of the Senate, including Rule II, appears to require that Senate appointments made by state executives pursuant to the 17th Amendment must be signed and sealed by the state's secretary of state. Moreover, no explanation has been given as to how any rule of the Senate, whether it be formal or merely a matter of tradition, could supersede the authority to fill vacancies conferred on the states by the federal constitution. Under these circumstances, the Senate's actions cannot serve as the predicate for a mandamus action against the secretary of state. The only issue before us is whether the secretary of state, an official of this state, failed to perform an act required of him by the law of Illinois. He did not." [10]
Despite the ruling of the Illinois Supreme Court, it would still be of the discretion of the United States Senate to determine if Burris the former Attorney General of Illinois would be seated as the junior senator for the State of Illinois[10].
Financial disclosure
In December 2013, the Center for Public Integrity released a study on disclosure requirements for state supreme court judges. Analysts from the Center reviewed the rules governing financial disclosure in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as personal financial disclosures for the past three years. The study found that 42 states and Washington D.C. received failing grades. Illinois earned a grade of D in the study. No state received a grade higher than "C". Furthermore, due in part to these lax disclosure standards, the study found 35 instances of questionable gifts, investments overlapping with caseloads and similar potential ethical quandaries. The study also noted 14 cases in which justices participated although they or their spouses held stock in the company involved in the litigation.[11]
History of the court
The court was founded in 1818 in Article IV of the Illinois Constitution. The court's authority is granted in Article VI of the current Illinois Constitution, which provides for seven justices elected from the five appellate judicial districts of the state. The district encompassing Cook County is represented by three justices, while the other four districts elect one each. Each justice is elected for a term of ten years and the chief justice is elected by the court from its members for a three-year term.
On December 3, 1818, President Monroe signed legislature to allow Illinois to enter the Union as a state. Article IV of the Illinois constitution provides for the judicial system in the state. The court had appellate jurisdiction in all cases other than cases involving revenue, mandamus, habeas corpus and impeachment. In these cases the Supreme Court had original jurisdiction. Judges were to be appointed by the General Assembly. In 1841, after being legislated in and out of existence, all circuits were dissolved with legislation. To uphold the caseload, five new Supreme Court justices were appointed to augment the court. This system remained until 1848 when the second Illinois Constitution was adopted.[12]
The Constitution of 1848
In 1848, the Illinois Constitution was amended, and Article V established a Supreme Court with only three judges. The court convened only one time annually in each division. The judges were elected for nine-year terms by popular vote, and represented each of the three divisions of the state. This Supreme Court had original jurisdiction in cases of revenue, mandamus, habeas corpus, and impeachment, and appellate jurisdiction in all other cases. Nine circuits were established with the amended constitution, with one judge per circuit.[12]
Constitution of 1870
The constitution of 1870 provided seven judges with seven districts for the Supreme Court, and maintained jurisdiction as previously enumerated. The term of office was nine years. "It was to hold annual terms in each of the three grand divisions established by the 1848 Constitution, and one or more terms at Chicago, if suitable quarters were provided. Four judges constituted a quorum and the concurrence of four was necessary for a decision. Districts could be changed by law to maintain equality in population, but must be composed of contiguous counties." The Constitution of 1870 remained until adoption of the 1970 Constitution.[12]
Constitution of 1970
The Judicial Article (Article VI) of the 1970 Constitution decreased the Supreme Court's mandatory appellate jurisdiction. Appeals from the circuit courts were directed to the Supreme Court only when considering the death sentence. Appeals from the Appellate Court to the Supreme Court were made in only two instances. The first, if a constitutional question is presented as a result of an action of the Appellate Court. The other is if the Appellate Court itself determines that the case should be determined by the Supreme Court. The 1970 Constitution increased the supervisory and administrative authority of the Supreme Court, as well.[12]
Chief justice
The court's chief justice is elected by the court from its members for a three-year term.
Previous chief justices were:
Notable firsts
Reform proposals
In the years since the convention of 1970, there have been multiple attempts to reform the court, and specifically to change the method of judicial selection. Proponents have included the Illinois State Bar Association, the Chicago Bar Association and the League of Women Voters of Illinois. None of these efforts were successful.[13]
Reappointments in Cook County
The Supreme Court has been found to be using its recall power to put a number of Cook County Circuit Court judges back in office, contrary to voters' decisions at the polls. A review by the Chicago Tribune found that, since 2000, the Supreme Court had reappointed 18 judges to the Cook County Circuit Court who had been ousted by voters. Some say that this practice, which has gone on for a long time, violates the will of the voters. In 1993, the court promised to stop. In August of 2011, a court spokesman said that the justices decided to end the practice months ago, though critics are still skeptical.[14]

7. Get Rough
He's not the only one who can be a little rough during missionary position sex! Just because you are on your back doesn't mean you have to be passive. Get feisty and experiment with being a little rough. Scratch his back lightly at first and as his arousal builds scratch him even harder. You can also try slapping his chest or back. Start playfully and if he responds well, keep turning up the volume while paying attention to his reactions. Bite his neck and shoulders, while keeping in mind that you may leave marks! Keep your hardest love bites below his collar line so he doesn't have to explain your sexy marks to his coworkers!
8. Whisper Into Your Lover's Ear
Take advantage of the closeness of the missionary position by clinging to your lover's body and whispering into his ear. What you say is up to you. You can whisper sweet things like "I love you", or get as raunchy as you want. This is a good strategy if you are shy about talking dirty in bed. By whispering into his ear you can practice saying things that you wouldn't normally say (it is just a whisper, after all!) Your guy will be turned on by hearing your voice and may get sent over his edge, so proceed with caution if you want sex to last longer!
9. Explore the Coital Alignment Technique (CAT)
The Coital Alignment Technique is a technique to gain more clitoral friction while in the missionary position. The basic technique involves the man shifting forward so his penis penetrates at a more vertical angle. The goal is rubbing the clitoris with the base of the penis and pelvic bone as he thrusts downwards. The CAT technique is a little awkward at first, but if you can make it work you may find that intercourse becomes much more pleasurable. Click here for more guidance on exploring the Coital Alignment Technique to enhance missionary position sex!
10. Breathe More To Feel More
If you simply want to feel more pleasure during missionary position sex, try the most basic yet most effective sexual technique out there: breathing. The more you breathe, the more you feel. Start by taking long, deep, relaxed breaths and pay attention to the sensations in your body. Many people report feeling more expanded pleasure, full body pleasure, streaming or tingling sensations when they breathe deeply during sex. Once you've mastered long and slow breathing, you can try breathing more rapidly. Or, play a game and ask your lover to match the rhythm of his penetration to your breath. This little game will force him to pay close attention to your body, put you in control of the speed of penetration and allow you to feel more sensations as he moves inside you.
With these 10 strategies to play with, you have a lot to explore as you heat up missionary position sex! Remember, adding more pleasure to your sex life should be fun, not stressful. Integrate new techniques slowly, check in with your lover about what they like best and never hesitate to go back to your tried and true pleasures!

Pot Luck Chicken Pie
- Posted by Johanna on February 2, 2013 at 1:57 pm
- Category: Recipes and Food
A really easy thing to do with leftover cooked chicken. I call it Pot Luck Chicken Pie because I learned to make it after having it at numerous church pot luck suppers. It warms up well and gets better after sitting for a while. This version was made for a 9″ x 9″ baking dish, but you can adjust it as needed for different sizes or amounts of ingredients.
Cut up the cooked chicken into bite-size pieces, enough to make a full layer in the dish. I used two breasts' worth and a few more leftover bits. Mix a can of cream of chicken soup and a cup of chicken broth and pour over the meat. Then all you need is the crust. Mix well a cup of Bisquick mix and 3/4 cup of milk and pour that over the top, spreading it to cover the whole dish. (The original recipe used flour, buttermilk, and melted butter, which is very good, but I never have buttermilk around, and I no longer cook recipes that start "melt a stick of butter".)
Bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until the crust is cooked and golden.
(One of these days I'm going to remember to take pictures before I cut into and eat what I'm making. It wasn't today, though.)

I don't think the father should be charged.
By DAVID SCHOETZ
May 7, 2008
When Minnesota authorities arrived at the scene, they found Anthony Klaseus covered in blood and extremely distraught.
"I just shot my boy," Klaseus said, according to police. "How could I shoot and kill my son? I told him to stay put while I tried to get closer to the turkeys."
On Monday, two weeks later, Sibley County prosecutors charged Klaseus, 39, with second-degree manslaughter in the April 19 homicide of his 8-year-old son.
Adding one more layer of cruelty, Klaseus and his wife had named their only son Hunter.
The boy's death is one of at least three fatalities already reported in this spring's turkey hunting season -- it's a number that often exceeds the total annual U.S. turkey-hunting related fatalities. more at link:http://www.abcnews.go.com/US/Story?id=4796252&page=1

Possible drinking, smoking weed, no hunting license, hunting on someone else's land... I think a negligence charge is something that should be considered, especially if he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time. The tests will take a while, I guess.
RIP Hunter.
I guess a hunter could answer this, but I thought you were supposed to wear something that would keep you from getting shot...not something that looks like what you want to shoot! Was he using his son as bait for other turkeys? Just asking.
Hey Linask,
I should have said I disagree with the manslaughter charge . He definitely should be charged with a felony for having alcohol and a gun in his possession. And he should be charged for illegal drug possession too.
I just don't think he intentionally shot his son.
No, turkey hunting calls for camo... turkeys have excellent vision so you don't want to be wearing orange like while deer hunting (gun).
'Bait' for turkeys would be decoys... not expensive (there are ranges of course) but who knows with this guy. I married into a hunting family and I sincerely doubt he would have used his son as a decoy. Turkeys just don't fall for that.
Him saying he told Hunter to stay put so he could get closer to the turkeys is exactly what any hunter would tell their child. DD has gone hunting with hubby (deer, bow) and I know of many more kids having gone hunting with their dad. If they're not hunting from a tree stand they'll eventually try to sneak up on the target and usually tell the kids to stay put. They'd be too noisy or obvious usually which scares off the target.
I think him shooting and killing his son was nothing but a tragic accident. I am annoyed about the apparent presence of the alcohol and pot though.
If it is proven that substance abuse played a role in this then yes he should be charged. Just like with a car accident in which the driver kills someone after drinking and driving. They usually didn't mean to do that, either (hit and kill). Intentions are beside the point in cases of proven substance abuse IMO (except when you're a lawyer or judge and have to decide which kind of punishment, but I think y'all know what I mean lol).
Thanks, JE. I can't help thinking what that little boy's last moments were like. I hope he went fast and didn't know what hit him.
Charged with 2nd degree manslaughter and he got 30 days in jail.

Following the announcement in November by Oregon State University Extension Service that it will no longer serve as administrator of the Washington County CPO Program in the future, here is more information about the transition.
Daily operations of the CPOs remain unchanged. County administrative staff, with input from CPO representatives on the Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI), developed a transition process, which was approved by the Board of Commissioners at their worksession on January 13th. The proposal includes timeline and planning-level details.
There will be opportunities in the year ahead for CPO participants, the community at-large, and County partners to be involved in the transition process. A CPO leader has started a community blog to get more people talking about how to maintain and improve a successful participation system in Washington County. Please sign up and join the discussion: http://washcocpofuture.wordpress.com/
Follow the County's web page and your CPO Program communications regularly for updates, links and key documents. You also can check the CCI page to follow its activity. All CCI meetings are open to the public.

Respect Life Club works to promote postitive message
The Respect Life Club recently learned that another member of the community would be marching with them during the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. later this month: Archbishop Schnurr. Spanish teacher and Respect Life Club moderator Mrs. Tracey Canisalez said that the Archbishop is attending this year's March and wanted to accompany a student group. She learned on Monday, Jan. 3, that he had chosen the McNicholas group to join. "What a great honor this will be for the students and the school," Canisalez said.
Every January on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark court case legalizing abortion in the U.S., Respect Life Club members travel to Washington, D.C. to protest the decision. This year the March is on Jan. 24, and McNicholas will be represented by 80 students and 8 adult chaperones. According to Canisalez, over 600 students from Cincinnati attend the March for Life, with McNicholas being the largest group. While the March for Life is the main activity of the group for the year, the club is involved in numerous activities promoting the sacredness of life.
In November, the group attended a meeting and dinner at the Cintas Center held by the Greater Cincinnati Right to Life Organization to get an update of the events planned for the year and to decide how they can be involved. During the month of December, the McNicholas Respect Life Club met and made baby blankets for Pregnancy Center East. Canisalez said that club members purchased over $100 of fabric and made 20 blankets. The group is also planning a baby shower in the spring. The baby shower will be held after school and the club will supply drinks and snacks while also asking the McNicholas community to donate any items that they feel a new mother might need. Donations from this event will also benefit Pregnancy Center East.
Senior and Respect Life Club president Jessica Sharkey said she thinks the extra social projects are important because it allows the group to get together outside of the March for Life for a good cause.

A tribute to Elizabeth Taylor
Hi tartelettes,
As I'm sure you know, last week beloved star and eternal icon Elizabeth Taylor passed away. Throughout her career, Elizabeth Taylor was an inspiration to many with her class and grace. I personally loved her and everything she represented that two years ago I named my puppy after her. From the moment she hit the big screen in the early '40s, the media was consumed with her. Whether it was her love life, movie career, jewelry or her amazing sense of style, the public wanted to know every detail of Elizabeth's life.
We can all agree that Elizabeth Taylor was a fashion icon, but she also inspired several different beauty trends. Did you know that she was born with two rows of eyelashes due to a genetic mutation? I'd have to say that I wouldn't mind inheriting that mutation! Her thick lashes and "violet" eyes became her signature trademark and were most certainly envied by all. As for her personal beauty style, I think that she'll be most remembered for her classic look: a glowing complexion, defined eyes and alluring red lips.
Elizabeth Taylor defined "Hollywood Glam" on the Red Carpet and stars still try to channel her looks today. In honor of Elizabeth Taylor, I'd like to celebrate some of her iconic beauty looks that will remain timeless. Which was your favorite? Share with us below.

The season starts on Thursday. Finally, during the last preseason game, we saw the Pens play well. It felt like a lifetime since we had seen a Pens win that didn't come with the metallic taste of blood in our mouths and a bucketful of infant tears. But it happened. It was real. It was only preseason. We want the rest of the season to be like that. But chances are it won't be.
- Ride or die with MAF and Zatkoff is backup until Vokoun is well. Doesn't look like the Pens are going to tip their hand and sign another goalie. Moose is available. Johan Fucking Father of Our Children Hedberg is available. But they're not budging.
- Letang is hurt. Hilarious.
- Pens still have over a million to clear to become cap compliant. Putting either Vokoun or Letang or both on LTIR would solve this problem, but that takes them off the plate completely for at least 10 games.
- Better solution? Maybe put Tanner Glass on waivers? WE DON'T EVEN KNOW
- The Pirates own the city for now and while we certainly enjoy hockey and barely understand baseball, our hearts are with the Bucs. Tomorrow is the first playoff baseball game in Pittsburgh since October 11, 1992. Get in your time machines. Wear black. All black. #pncblackout
- Ridiculous rumor roundup: someone talked some shit that the Pens would be signing Bryz. No chance. Bryz is part of the delicious mythology that will never touch Pittsburgh. Also rumors that Despres was being shopped. Which better be lies.
- ummm
- let's get this party started
Go Pens.
