There should be no debate over coercion
I was saddened and angered to read the Aug. 2 commentary, "American embrace of 'comfort women' allegations distorts history." The atrocities committed by the Japanese army and government and supported by the majority of the Japanese people during the war are undisputed facts.
Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto ignited a furious backlash in Japan a few weeks ago when we suggested that Japan's use of some 200,000 comfort women during World War II was "necessary." He didn't deny the facts but only tried to justify them.
On the same day the commentary was published, another story reported that Japan's finance minister, Taro Aso, had retracted comments in which he seemed to say that Japan should learn how the Nazi party quietly rewrote Germany's Constitution. Do you see a dangerous trend toward rewriting history here?

Heritage Square is a key part of the tradition
Why, oh why, does the Minnesota State Fair Board find it "progress" to raze the cherished cozy nook of our Heritage Square? My husband I have a yearslong tradition. On the first Friday of the fair, we religiously buy our discount tickets early, take the shuttle bus to the fairgrounds and happily walk across Como Avenue with off-duty police protection.
After spending seven hours at the fair (and believe it or not this is the only food item with which we indulge ourselves), we find the undeniably to-die-for rotisserie turkey drumsticks at the stand in Heritage Square. No other vendor will do.
Then, happily covered with State Fair dust, dirt and grime, we sit on the hill outside Heritage Square, across from the State Fair police and first-aid station, sipping a well-deserved beer and munching lustily on our glorious juicy drumsticks. This is our tradition — our heritage. The Minnesota State Fair is tradition. Please do not tamper with our cherished memories.

Sick of the Twins? A.P. is getting ready to roll
What's worse? A player who tarnishes the integrity of Major League Baseball by taking performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) in order to increase his production? Or an entire team that disrespects the game by being unprepared, unmotivated, unfocused and uncaring?
At least guys like Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun wanted to be better at their jobs. This current bunch of Minnesota Twins is perfectly satisfied being sickeningly awful.
What a disgrace.

[author: Douglas Hauer]
In the coming weeks, we expect employers to have a very difficult time locating private sector J-1 sponsors to issue new Forms DS-2019 for interns and trainees. In order to apply for a J-1 visa, an individual must secure a valid Form DS-2019 from a qualified program sponsor that meets the requirements of the Department of State's Exchange Visitor Program. An individual must also have a host employer that agrees to provide an internship or training opportunity. J-1 exchange program sponsors are typically nonprofit organizations in the private sector. These sponsors work in close collaboration with employers wishing to host J-1 interns and trainees. Every year, thousands of recent graduates and university students from abroad apply for J-1 visas to gain experience working briefly in the United States. We may imminently see a cap reached on the number of J-1 visitors admitted for internship and training opportunities for this calendar year.
The shortage of Forms DS-2019 is already an issue for many program sponsors. Many sponsors are turning new J-1 applicants away. The Department of State's Bureau of Educational & Cultural Affairs ("ECA") controls the annual allotment of Forms DS-2019 issued to program sponsors. This year, ECA gave J-1 sponsors an annual allotment of DS-2019s equal to the number of J-1 visitors who entered the United States on their programs in 2011. To secure additional Forms DS-2019, program sponsors must apply to ECA with a request to sponsor more interns and trainees. According to our latest information, very few sponsors have been granted an increase in Forms DS-2019 to expand their programs. This is occurring at a time when the economy is improving and U.S. companies are showing a greater interest in hosting interns and trainees from abroad.
Many program sponsors are already informing employers that they have no additional spaces for new J-1 interns and trainees. The State Department has discretion to create numerical limitations on J-1 visas. The agency may also refuse to grant an increase in a sponsor's allotment of Forms DS-2019. Unless the State Department acts soon, we anticipate that program sponsors will be unable to accept new applications for interns and trainees by early August.
The State Department should not cap the number of J-1 visas this year without a notice and comment period. This would be a fair and balanced approach to making substantial changes to an important program. U.S. employers are important stakeholders in the State Department's J-1 intern and trainee program. The State Department should hear from employers before capping J-1 visas this year. Any decision to cap J-1 visas should be undertaken with caution, weighing the mission of cultural exchange accomplished through the J-1 visa.

I really feel like yesterday's game was one of the best games the Patriots have played in the regular season at least back till 2004 and it could still be argued this game was a bigger and better win then some of the games like vs. Indy on opening day. Last year we beat the Steelers in a crazy game, we lost starters and leaders left and right yet still beat the Steelers, eventually SB Champs. But yesterday was awesome. A secondary lacking two key starters. We play a rather slow old player at CB, added Poteat off the streets and they still got it done, also Brown came in! What a game the secondary played. No TD Receptions allowed! I think the team overall finally came together and played with some more emotion. The ground game was the best in over a decade, some of the WR's did a fairly decent job when balls were thrown their way. Gabriel gets wide open for a TD. Not only did the Pats pull off an incredible upset, they also blew out their opponent! Apparently in the top 3 teams in the NFL. The constantly praised Carson Palmer sucked. And the best of all...we did it in THEIR house! I dont understand how any fan or anybody can say the Patriots did not play perfect yesterday or near perfect counting the missed field goal. Go Pats!
I loved it. After leaving work on Friday I got all this crap From the Raider an niner fans here about how we were going to get killed by the Bengals.
I think of this as the regular season version of our playoff game against the Colts in 2004. Our secondary was hurt, everyone said we couldn't fo it, Indy was doing a lot of talking, and then we hold their unstoppable offense to a whole three points. I remember before that game all the local Pats writers were talking about how Indy's offense can not be stopped, and in order for the Pats to have a chance they need to contain the Indy offense and hope they can keep up by scoring a lot of points. I think the same general things were said about this game and there were similar results. It was such a complete win, with all three phases making big contributions. Offense: The running game was insane. The passing game was the best we have seen so far this season. The offensive line did an incredible job. The running wholes were huge and no one even got close to Brady (0 sacks). Defense: The team held one of the best offenses in the league to 13 points down two starters in the secondary. I think that about says it all. But I'll go on, the defense got four sacks and two fumbles. The secondary was able to pull off very complicated coverages. To me this is big because at this time last year the guys we had back there could not have handled such diversity and complexity in coverage schemes. The guys we have are grasping the system and executing the game plan. Special Teams: Faulk had a huge return which set up a touchdown. The coverage units were very solid all day. Gostkowskis kickoffs are huge, he almost always pins the other team deep. The only miscue is his missed field goal, but I'm willing to forgive because it was 48 yards, no chipshot, and he's a rookie. Rookie kickers ALWAYS struggle. If you look up average stats for rookies compared to veterans they are siqnificantly lower all the way across the board. AV missed 8 fieldgoals in his first year. He just needs continuing support and his kickoffs have been well worth it. I know this is only week 4, there is a long season ahead and it is a progression, but I absolutely love this. Let's treat the Dolphins like they're the '72 version.

Freiburg soars into fifth place
Defender Pavel Krmas scored late in the match to give surprising Freiburg a 1-0 victory over Fortuna Dusseldorf and move his team up to fifth in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Krmas rose above Fortuna's big men to head in a corner in the 87th minute to break the deadlock.
Freiburg's win allowed it to move past Mainz into fifth place on goal difference.
Earlier Sunday, Mainz held on with 10 men to earn a 1-1 draw at next-to-last Augsburg.
Adam Szalai scored for Mainz in the 43rd minute, connecting with a cross from Junior Diaz to drive the ball with his right foot past Augsburg goalkeeper Alexander Manninger.
Mainz was reduced to 10 men in first-half stoppage time, when teenage forward Shawn Parker was given a red card for rough play.
Augsburg got the equalizer from Sascha Moelders, who headed in a cross from Marcel de Jong. Despite having more than 80 percent of possession, Augsburg could not find the winner and now has three points more than last-place Greuther Fuerth.
Mainz is now sixth on goal difference over Hamburg, which stunned defending champion Dortmund 4-1 on Saturday. All three teams have 31 points.
Bayern Munich blanked Schalke 4-0 on Saturday to open a 15-point lead over Dortmund, which is one point ahead of Bayer Leverkusen. Eintracht Frankfurt is fourth, six points ahead of Freiburg.

Photos of Purple Hair
this color did not photo well in my opinion, it is really quite violet but appears blue. Anyhow, I wanted to go for a blank canvas of grey/silver and am working to fade this to it. There are still slight color differences where the rainbow once was, but the violet ...
Longest side... Darker purple peeks through :>
I mixed turquoise, cerise and my new L'oreal hair mask. I'm realy in love with my new color.
Plum dyed over bleached hair, whereas some parts still had a light orange shade - I reaaaally love it <3 Unfortunately the colour got darker when I re-dyed it :( I currently try to lighten it so that I again reach the same shade as in this picture :)
Plum on top, Cerise on bottom, directly over the very faded brown.
Mixture of several manic panic colors including ultraviolet and hot hot pink
diluted with conditioner almost 50/50, great product :D
I mixed the blue with purple. I do not know why in the photo the hair looks more blue than purple but in reality are much more purple than blue. but I really like these shades :)
Yes, believe it or not, this IS in fact the lavender. Since the Rose had showed up so pale on me, I worked the lavender through a lot more and let it sit for over three hours. I expected a pastel, I got Grape Ape. I don't mind. It's just ...
- Ion Color Brilliance Brights — Lavender (Ion Color Brilliance)
Still not retouched, only the roots were done :)
Doesn't really look like I wanted it... but I like it :)
more than two months later! (20-22 shampoos)
Thanks to all of your lovely suggestions, I covered my previous Atomic Pink hair with Deep Purple. I diluted it heavily with Punky Platinum Toner and conditioner. I also added a little bit of Cupcake Pink on the ends for an ombre effect.
- Special Effects — Cupcake Pink
- Special Effects — Deep Purple
- Punky Colour — Platinum Toner
Yay two-toned purple hair <3
PLUM dyed over faded FIRE red by Directions It was about 2 weeks old here Photo rights belong to Soul Capture :)
This started off Lilac and then became a bit darker using Violet and conditioner - I thought I had another tub of Lilac lying around when I started applying it when I actually didn't! Still, probably just as well as it didn't look like the lilac was taking very well ...
I love my purple hair, period. Together with some orange-red mix I do, I dye my hair purple every other day. Directions' Violet dark purple, with my light Latino skin tone, is Goth and subtle altogether, which is enough of a victory to be marked.

Is Colombia's FARC rebounding?
(Read article summary)A Colombian think-tank argues that the guerrilla group has retaken the initiative in key regions, and that security forces have thus far failed to adapt to the conflict's changing conditions.
Jaime Saldarriaga/Reuters
Corporacion Nuevo Arco Iris, a Bogota-based think-tank that focuses on national security issues, released a 17-page report on Sunday which highlights several trends previously observed by InSight Crime. Most notable among these is that the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia - FARC) are increasingly resurgent in the country's southwest, employing tactics like sniper fire and the heavy laying of landmines to harass the army and police.
InSight Crime considers there are four key points to be taken from the report:
1) FARC military actions have been on the rise since 2009, and there are no signs of the guerrillas relenting.
Nuevo Arco Iris counted 1,115 FARC actions in the first half of 2011, a 10 percent increase on the same period last year, according to data kept by the think-tank. That's up from 855 actions in the first half of 2009 and 1,012 during the same time period in 2010. If the FARC continue at the same pace, 2011 could finish with a total of 2,200 guerrilla attacks, which, by Nuevo Arco Iris' definition, includes the use of minefields, snipers, ambushes, infrastructure attacks, "combat" (defined as firefights that last more than two hours), and "harassment" (hit-and-run attacks, often involving grenades, that last less than three hours).

Trust calls for club statement
Tim Hartley, chair of Cardiff City Supporters' Trust, has called for the club to make a clear statement on the situation at Cardiff City FC. Mr Hartley said: "Fans will be concerned with the recent behind-the-scene developments at Cardiff City which appear to put into question the future of our manager, Malky Mackay. Supporters are surprised that someone who appears to have little hands-on experience has been put in charge of transfers at the football club.
"Fans want Malky Mackay, who has done a fantastic job as manager in taking the club to the Premier League, to remain at Cardiff City. We don't want to see any action taken to undermine his position as manager and Cardiff City's efforts to have a successful first season in the top division. "There are fears that the current developments could drive Malky into the arms of another Premier League club and that would be hugely damaging for the Bluebirds. Malky is a talented manager who has huge respect among the fans for what he has delivered. "Fans deserve a clear statement on the position from the club on what has been happening and Malky's position needs to be made perfectly clear." http://www.ccfctrust.org/Source: Cardiff City Online

Review: Puzzle Craft combines match-three mechanics with RPG world-building
Build your city with match-three puzzle games and smart world-building.
Puzzle Craft is a game that uses two of mobile gaming's most popular genres to create an immediately compelling experience that is addictive and entertaining for a wide audience of players. It is easy to pick up, but hard to master. All of these combined make it one of the best games to hit the App Store in the last few months.
The goal of Puzzle Craft is to build a city. You do this by farming things like wheat, chickens, and pigs, and mining for ore, or cutting down wood. As you build up resources (gathered by completing match-three games), you can spend them to buy upgrades for your city that make it easier to gather resources in the puzzles. Of course, there are downsides to upgrading. Wolves and rats start to appear on your farms, while toxic gas starts to appear in your mines. The balance this creates is perfect for those who want to master the game without alienating players who want to relax and enjoy the puzzle components. It will take hours to master this game, even for those that choose only to build up and not get lost in the puzzle components.
Puzzle Craft is a very well-designed game that manages to be compelling and borderline addictive without using in-app purchases and time limits. If you are eager for a game that will last for days or even weeks of gameplay, check out Puzzle Craft today.

Monsoon Settles GPL Suit
The landmark lawsuit against Monsoon Media for infringement of the GNU General Public License, Version 2, has come to an amicable close. The parties released a statement today outlining the terms.
In exchange for the dismissal, Monsoon is appointing a Compliance Officer, to prevent future infringements, will make the source code available for download from it's website, will make efforts to contact affected users, and will pay undisclosed damages to the plaintiffs, presumably to cover the costs incurred in bringing the suit.
The suit, which was filed on behalf of the developers of BusyBox, a GPL-licensed utility for Unix systems, represented a landmark in the defense of open licensing. The suit was the first GPL infringement suit to be filed, and had it gone to trial, would have provided important case law for the treatment of Open Source software.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

South Korea in rare offer of aid to North for foot-and-mouth outbreak
Published on Feb 24, 2014 3:53 PM
SEOUL (REUTERS) - South Korea has offered North Korea help with an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in pigs, which would be the first government-level humanitarian help since 2010 and comes as ties between the rivals have been warming.
North Korea's Ministry of Agriculture said in state news agency report on Saturday that at least 3,200 pigs had been infected with foot-and-mouth and some had died but most were slaughtered.
The outbreak, which began on Jan 8, had caused economic losses and was spreading because of shortages of vaccines, diagnostic means and disinfectants, the news agency said.
South Korea's Agriculture Ministry said it wanted to help the North contain the spread.

- Anti-Corruption Initiative (AEPF)
- Ethics Reporting Handbook
- Who we are
- Press Releases
EthicsSA is proud to announce its involvement in a new anti-corruption initiative.
The Anti-Intimidation and Ethical Practices Forum (AEPF) was launched on 28 January 2015 at the IoDSA in Sandton, Johannesburg.
The Forum was established in May 2014 by eight professional bodies who share a common concern about the rising levels of corruption in the country and the concomitant increase in the intimidation of the 'guardians of governance' i.e. professionals who work in fields such as auditing, risk management and governance.
The AEPF aims to educate members of professional bodies on how to follow correct procedures to blow the whistle on corruption, and the remedies available to them when they are intimidated for exposing wrongdoing within their organisations. Members will also work together to strengthen ethical standards in the professional arena and lobby for changes that will accord greater protection for whistle-blowers. The Forum will also work closely with the offices of the Auditor-General, National Treasury, the Public Protector and Corruption Watch, amongst others, in its quest to mobilise professionals against crime.
For more information go to: www.aepf.co.za
EthicsSA is proud to release our second guidance booklet, the Ethics Reporting Handbook: Guidelines for ethics officers and internal auditors.
In line with the Companies Act (2008) and the Public Service Integrity Management Framework, many organisations are now establishing ethics committees in one form or another. If these committees are to fulfil their mandate they will need credible and useful information on their organisations' ethics performance. There has been a growing need for guidance from those who are responsible for compiling this information, but also those who utilise it.
The aim of this booklet is to give practical guidance to ensure a higher standard of information. Clear, relevant and timely information allows for more constructive engagement, more relevant ethics management programmes, and ultimately better ethics performance.

by Geoffrey Ciani - This weeks edition of On the Ropes Boxing Radio featured an exclusive interview with former professional fighter Sugar Ray Phillips who owns a boxing gym in Dallas called Big Sugar Rays Real Deal Boxing Gym. Phillips had an impressive amateur record of 145-6 and he won a National Golden Gloves title to his credit. As a professional, he is best known for his 1977 bout against Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Still closely connected with boxing, Phillips is an avid fan of the sport who had some interesting things to say about news pertaining to a potential showdown between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather as well as rumors regarding a possible ring return from Iron Mike Tyson. Here are some excerpts from the interview with Sugar Ray Phillips: On Julio Cesar Chavez Juniors unanimous decision victory against John Duddy: That was a great fight. That was a good test for Cesar Chavez. I believe hes ready to step now up into the majors and I heard talks with some more people with examiner.com that I believe hes going to fight maybe Cotto next.. On how he believes Chavez would do against Cotto at this stage of his career: I think he would do exceptionally well. Hes tall, hes rangy, hes got a good jabCottos got to come in. A young fighter, they havent really been beat up just yet. They havent been hit as hard as the older fighters have so theyre a little hesitant, those older fighters, to throw that punch. But these young guys coming up today, theyre not afraid to let them punches go. Boxing is all about hundredths of seconds then. You throw your combinationsbam, bam, bam, bam, boom. If a guys been hit up like say when Cotto fought Margarito and he used the illegal wraps and everything, it kind of hurt, but the kids a good kid. He came to my gym and trained with Emanuel Steward right before he won the title again, but you could see his timing is just a couple hundredths of a second off then where it needs to be to beat the great fighters.

Upcoming meeting will offer opportunity for public comment
The public will have the chance to chime in on Albany County's plans to replace an aging bridge over the Coeymans Creek in South Bethlehem.
The 1963 Pictuay Road Bridge is on the county's list of deficient bridges and is scheduled for replacement. It's located just north of the town line between Bethlehem and Coeymans.
The bridge that's there now is obsolete, said William Anslow, civil engineer for the county Department of Public Works. "Generally, 50 years out of a bridge built at that time is really outliving its life."
The county is studying two options for the new bridge design. Both would actually raise the level of the bridge's freeboard, or height above the water. At times of high water the river can nearly reach the bridge, said Anslow, and the county would like to see some extra room there. The problem is that raising the bridge requires work on the road leading up to it, adding to the replacement cost.
One option would involve raising the bridge by 1.7 feet and cost and estimated $1.7 million. The second scenario would raise it 1.3 feet at a $1.4 million cost.
"We're probably leaning toward option two at this point, but we're not going to decide that until we hear from the public," Anslow said.
The replacement would be funded through a federal aid project, with 80 percent being paid by federal funds, 15 percent by the state and the county covering the remaining percent.
The replacement would likely occur in 2012, with construction starting in the spring and ending in the fall. During construction traffic normally using the bridge would have to detour. Pictuay Road connects routes 396 and 9W and is about 1.5 miles long.
"I don't think that this road generates a real high volume of traffic," Anslow said.
The public will have a chance to hear a presentation on the project from county planners and to provide comment at a meeting scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 17, at 6:30 p.m. at A.W. Becker Elementary School on Route 9W.
Anyone unable to attend the meeting may submit comments to William Anslow, Albany County DPW, 449 New Salem Road, Voorheesville 12186. Comments will be accepted through March 11.""

The dismal economy has me thinking a cheerful outdoors thought:
Bring back the CCC!The Civilian Conservation Corps was the silver lining of the dark cloud that was the Great Depression.
Nicknamed "Roosevelt's Tree Army," it did double duty of providing employment and protecting the nation's natural resources. Some 3 million young men served in the CCC between 1933 and 1942. They planted trees, built roads and forest fire lookout towers, protected streams from erosion, and built 800 parks and nearly 52,000 acres of campgrounds. In Illinois, CCC crews planted 60 million trees and created 1,192 miles of trails. What better time than our current crisis to give a big wet kiss to this legacy of the last one?
You don't have to travel far. The Skokie Lagoons were built by the CCC, and the Cook County Forest Preserve is dotted with CCC picnic shelters. Cook County was home to at least eight different CCC camps, where men lived in armylike barracks and created vibrant communities.
"It was more than just bricks and mortar," said Jim Havlat, building architect of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. "At Camp Skokie, they ran their own newspapers."
But if you want to travel far, you can. The Corps left its mark on forest preserves, parks and state lands throughout the area. Here are a few particularly attractive and well-preserved sites. Pack a lunch -- this is a recession-themed outing -- and enjoy.
"I love this building. I always wanted to live in a log cabin," said Melinda Tury, a volunteer naturalist.
She was sitting at the front desk of an impressive one, the sandstone-and-timber visitor center at Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve, Oak Brook, part of the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County. CCC crews built it in 1934, using logs felled from a stand of trees on what is now the parking lot.
And without power tools, marvels Debbi Gayon, education site manager. "He's using an ax," she said, pointing at an archival photo of a CCC worker planing a log, part of an exhibit on the CCC.
For a trip further back into history, check out the building's buff-colored limestone, which was quarried at the district's Waterfall Glen site. "If you look very carefully, you can see fossils," said naturalist David Andrusyk.
Originally a boathouse, it had a floating dock in back and boats for rent, until water pollution ended the attraction. But the waterfront location, with windows overlooking Salt Creek, is ideal for watching waterfowl.
Don't stop with the nature education center. Head out on the trails to see the site's CCC picnic shelters. And then head out to the country, to White Pines Forest State Park in Mt. Morris.
White Pines is home to an extensively renovated CCC-built lodge and cabins, known as White Pines Inn, all boasting impressive stone fireplaces. But there is more.
"Basically, the entire park was developed by the CCC," said Dan Stewart, the park's superintendent.
The park is a beauty -- 385 acres in the Rock River Valley, creeks meandering beneath footbridges and the last stand of natural white pines in Illinois -- the southernmost in the U.S.
The hiking trails, the footbridges, stone retaining walls at the edge of the creek -- it's all courtesy of the CCC.
The trails are delightfully hilly in spots. And the picnic shelters are particularly charming, their steeply pitched roofs giving the shelter a storybook quality. In winter, people wrap the open sides with plastic to block the wind, build fires and stay cozy.
You could stay here for days -- and if you had reservations, you could -- but our CCC tour is not finished. Fire up your book on tape and head for McKinley Woods in Channahon.
What McKinley Woods, part of the Will County Forest Preserves, has is location. Yes, it has a CCC picnic shelter, a sweet open-sided building with one of those massive hearths. But the particularly fine thing about this shelter is what lies just beyond it.
Namely, the I&M Canal. From the back of the shelter, you can walk down steps to a little deck jutting into a quiet inlet of water. It's too peaceful for words. If that isn't heaven enough, cross the footbridge to get to the canal trail, at this point a narrow ridge surrounded by water on both sides. Pick a direction, and walk; you've got 60 miles to choose from.
"We love it here; it's beautiful," said Cassie Jones 17, of Shorewood, who was sitting atop a picnic table in front of the shelter with Matt Matesevac, 16, of Minooka.
Pretty much everything CCC is. The last words on our tour are, "Thank you."
Outdoors alert: Those who mourned the closing of area state parks are taking off their black hiking duds. Gov. Pat Quinn has reopened Castle Rock, Lowden and Illini State Parks. And though Channahon and Gebhard Woods were on the original hit list -- and the "bucket list" tour I proposed in November -- both were reprieved and never closed in the first place.
Now the tour can be a celebration. Check it out at chicagotribune.com/stateparks.

I know I'm sort of clogging this place, but things are going well. Besides the crushing migraine, aching eyes, relentless cough, distressed throat, and periodic nausea. Other than that, I'm fine.
You-know-who was happy to see me after the break (and produced a very large smile upon seeing me near), and we ended up talking for longer than we should have (or at least longer than the school would have wanted). I was very late to class, but that teacher doesn't give a fuck about anything so it doesn't matter.
A bitter taste to rival the cloying earnestness of angst
may you rot
may you fester
may you find yourself
the recipient of
your own horrors.
i am no prophet
nor am I God
i'm just a girl
who wants to have something to eat.
but is it unreasonable
to request from my fellows
they act with decency
is it unimaginable that
laughter should be genuine?
happiness be the
is it in the stars that humanity
must be cruel?
i do not believe so
did i start the poetry train rollin? awesome
I don't know why he thinks I'm the fragile one, when he
cannot handle sleeping any less than 8 hours
without turning into a moody mess; when he
cannot spend one lazy weekend without seeing his friends
and cracks when he cannot play
less than 20 hours of video games a week.
It may be true that my hips look
like I ran them through a meat grinder,
and my tear ducts get more excersize than
my lungs have in years,
but I sleep 2 hours every night and
take care of my problems.
Fuck it
Fuck it
Fuck it
Next person I hear uses the word tranny
I'm ripping out their eyes
I'll tear out their throat
with my teeth.
Fuck it.
So yeah it's like
I'm afraid to go outside
I feel like if I do
people will see me but not see me.
I'm a fucking girl
but if I'm not wearing a dress
or frills
or something form-fitting I'm
just a boy.
I'm not a fucking boy
fuck you fuckers.
I shouldn't have to convince you
I shouldn't have to wear
shit I don't want to wear
so that
you fuckers will recognize
what I am.
So you cunts
My head is a pulsating void. All I can hear is this ringing and the sound of my heart beat, driving me insane. I'm in inescapable pain and I am helpless and immobile. My throat is burnt to soot and dry. I'm slowly learning to walk again.
So I had to take the day off of school. This was not a fun weekend. At least it isn't as bad as it was yesterday.
我決定現在開始我要練習我的中文. 自從我爸媽回去台灣之後我就沒有說多少中文了. 一開始這還算沒問題, 反而我還覺得這事件好事 - 但是後來我才發現中文不只很有用, 如果我不好好加強我其實是失去了一部份的"我". 我每天會用中文寫一段短文, 順便也可以利用這個機會來寫日記.
vomiting through my nose, i choke
panicked gasps and still my shaking hand;
35 pretty red lines marking my hips today-
slices upon thickened scar tissue, my
musical ledger lines waiting to be notated.
i told you my trust was not to be given;
only auctioned to the highest bidder
willing to excersize extreme self sacrifice
you looked at me with honeyed eyes,
forgetting who you are,
and handed me an IOU
I feel like it's pretty fucked up that when
I watch Adventure Time
The character I get
More than anyone else
is the Ice King
The guy that nobody likes
Who just doesn't get
the way that people work
Who started out pretty well
until his life went to hell
cuz he started to lose his mind
and suddenly I notice that mine
is slipping away
more and more
as the screaming starts to drown myself out
I feel so trapped inside my mind
when I can't hear a thing
that I think
and I wonder if I'm starting to slip
And I wonder if I know anything
at all
Because the more that I look
1) you are naked except for a blindfold
2) the artist hands you a piece of chalk
3) the artist draws on your back
4) through my sense of touch, you try to imitate the lines she is drawing with the chalk on a concrete floor
5) she tries to create something beautiful, something you cannot see
6) the artist struggles, begins to force me into the act of creation - you do not see this world, yet are entirely under her will
[...] you both try
7) forty-five minutes later, the blindfold is removed, you am bleeding from being dragged across the floor, everything is grey, white and red
How do you describe to someone
who is so apathetic and cruel
that they're that kind of angry again?
you may have thought you had an off switch,
a kill code,
but it's trapped somewhere inside of that skull, and you
are not at home, absent,
and i am standing at your door in the rain
You didn't let me say goodbye, goodnight, that I love you-
with the riveting explanation of your all day absence tomorrow,
you deftly gave our relationship the middle finger.
little do you know
Today was a fucking good day! I'm actually really happy, and I think you can guess why. I had a really good conversation, nearly five full minutes in length (which is a lot for how it's been going), plus two shorter ones. It almost felt like the good old days. He started out really quiet and just unusual for some reason, and then by the end of the day, he had gradually shifted back to the state he usually is around me, so that was really weird.
We trusted it
We did so foolishly—together
The generosity of the perfect machine is endless
Strange that with our colors
We believed what the monster could do
How we would stare at that smooth gate
Awaiting the ability
The moment of unity
When we could unhinge the door to golden perfection
And be blinded of the sight we would no longer need
And carelessly drift deep into that blue-gray abyss
Without thinking
Without watching that which had no cause
Its lack of purpose fueled our return
The lift from the shining gray pool
In which we would blissfully fill our lungs
I just remembered this site used to have a search bar, a real monster that if you clicked on it basically guaranteed that your browser would freeze for half an hour before coming up with nothing fruitful.
How long has that been gone, I wonder? I guess I don't remember seeing it for a while...
Please be more active, Oasies. I'm feeling lonely right now with the lack of multiplicity in people offering help. The site's just down to elph and me now. When I need your guidance the most, you abandon me.
_ -||^ - -
So today we had a BBQ at some friends house with all my classmates and I eventually ended up at some friends house with my best friend and got talking about stuff for like two hours until we felt like going back there, but I got really drunk plus I hadn't eaten anything; after like there's shots of aguardiente I was already tipsy and then I took some more and mixed with whiskey so I got drunk really fast.

Sadly Cory Monteith passed away on July 13 in a Vancouver hotel room. He was 31. His devoted girlfriend, Lea, wasn't with him at the time of his death. A source close to the actor tells HollywoodLife exclusively that she is 'devastated' beyond belief.
Lea Michele, 26, and Cory Monteith began dating in early 2012 and were together for a year and a half. The Glee songstress was clearly not expecting to receive the tragic news about the one she loves.
Cory Monteith's Death — Lea Michele's Reaction:
"She [Lea Michele] is absolutely hysterical and completely inconsolable," a source close to the actor tells HollywoodLife exclusively. She is devastated beyond belief."
Lea, who was in Mexico during Cory's passing, "was shaking when she heard the news," a source tells New York Daily News.
At this time the cause of the actor's death is yet to be determined and no foul play is suspected, however Cory was always very open about his struggle with substance abuse and began his second stint in rehab in March 2013 — and his devoted girlfriend bravely stood by his side during the difficult time, saying, "I love and support Cory and will stand by him through this," she told PEOPLE. "I am grateful and proud he made this decision."
It's clear that one of the people he was closest to, his loving girlfriend, had no idea that he might still be struggling with this addiction. In fact just last week Lea took a quick girls trip to Cabo San Lucas, to celebrate the birthday of her friend and jewelry designer Jennifer Cohen. The Glee gal seemed so happy and carefree while having fun in the sun, snapping pics of her pedicure and sharing a slew of bikini pics on Instagram.
How Lea Michele Stood By Cory Monteith:
Cory returned from his March 2013 trip to rehab at the end of April — and he rushed right back to Lea. The star was so supportive of Cory, accompanying him to Victoria, British Columbia on April 26, where the couple enjoyed a relaxing vacation in his hometown right after his stint in rehab. The pair was spotted at a slew of local restaurants, including a coffee shop, where they were seen with Cory's mom, Ann.
Lea was always extremely vocal about her strong feelings for Cory. "No one knows me better than Cory," she told Marie Clare in an interview in January. "No one knows what it's been like to go through this more than he does. Feeling like you have that net underneath you allows you to jump higher and go farther. He makes me feel like I can do anything."
"For the first time in my life, I feel really, really settled and happy," Lea said. "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world."
Lea was so in love with Cory and stuck by him during such a difficult time because she was confident in their future together — and she couldn't wait to start a family with the 31-year-old actor. Back in April, a source told HollywoodLife, "Not only does Lea want Cory to get better for his personal well being, she also wants to get pregnant and she thinks that Cory is the one and would be a wonderful father — and the sooner he is better, the sooner they can start a family!"
Cory Monteith's Substance Abuse Struggle:
The actor's most recent stint in rehab was mere months ago. His rep released a statement confirming his treatment, saying, "Cory Monteith has voluntarily admitted himself into a treatment facility for substance addiction. He graciously asks for your respect and privacy as he takes the necessary steps towards recovery."
That wasn't the first time Cory went for treatment — he first checked in for his addiction when he was 19. In an interview with Parade magazine back in 2011, he candidly addressed his struggles with substance abuse, saying he often stole money to be able to afford his addiction. "I was out of control," Cory said. "[I used] anything and everything, as much as possible. I had a serious problem."
Cory's mother staged an intervention in order to help her teen get clean. "That's when I first went to rehab," he said — but his sobriety didn't last long. "I did the stint but then went back to doing exactly what I left off doing."
Eventually the actor made the decision to get clean — and he said it was a life-changing decision. "I'm lucky to be alive," he admitted.
The actor was raised in Victoria, B.C., which isn't far from Vancouver, where his body was discovered.
Our thoughts are with Lea and Cory's friends and family during this sad time. The news is just heartbreaking.

Dear Lea, I'm so very sad to hear of your loss of Cory! You stood by his side in trying to help him through his struggles! People can be so damn cruel in some of there comments the truth is this was a very talent man!! And an amazing friend to many!! Thank you for standing by his side through side!! My heart is heavy for you and his family!! I'm just so very sorry for your loss and you loved him so very much!! Sincerely!! God Bless
Posted at 11:14 AM on July 14, 2013
Wow !!! Seriously people all this negative comments are really not necessary, this guy was fighting his own demons you guys don't know what he was going thru drugs is a really bad thing to fight some people could recover some people can't and is sad , so if you guys haven't been are a person who has not struggle with substance abuse not comment saying he choose drugs over his family then don't comment your dumb comments . So If you have been in shoes you would understand and if haven't you won't . Prayers for his family and Lea Michele

It's absolutely heart wrenching how cruel people in the comments can be. Regardless of -rather, because of- his struggles with drugs, he was such a wonderful person who always wanted to help others. That anyone would minimalize his presence on this planet or make it all about his substance abuse after his years of hard work and dedication to his career, his loved ones, and his fans is abhorrent. He was such an incredible man, and I hope we can all remember him as the goofy, loving, talented person he was without the darkness tainting it. Have some decency, please.

Addiction is a disease, a horrible demon that is very hard to overcome. Some people make it out, but most don't. So, unless you've dealt with it, or have had family or friends that have dealt with it, leave your comments to yourself. This is a tragic time for Cory's family and loved ones. God be with them and give them the strength they need to get through this.

he was the hard rock of the city, and i
the orchestra of the forest—
where his cement sidewalks ended, my
dirt and shrubs began
on a summer day, he told me
he liked the way the sun looked
in my trees. i blushed so hard, a wildfire
almost burned me down
i kept noticing his billboards
glancing my way. i let my leaves
land on his apartment buildings, and all
his traffic lights turned red
he reached into my brush
and picked my raspberry heart, neon
shining in his eyes. our lips collided
in a chorus of car alarms and songbirds

Wilmington police arrested a man they say could be responsible for a string of armed robberies at stores around the city.
Forty-year-old Carson Tate Junior is behind bars at the New Hanover County jail, being held under a $1,000,000 bond.
He is charged with 4 armed robberies stemming from a string of hold ups at stores around Wilmington this week.
Monday, police say Tate "hit up" the Crown Fast Fare off College Road.
Mike, the store clerk on duty that night told police the suspect pointed a handgun at him and demanded cash. Mike gave him the money, and he took off.
On Wednesday, the Rite-Aid off Carolina Beach Road was robbed.
Police say Tate did the same thing there -- revealing a handgun to get the clerk to empty the register.
The very next day, police say Tate robbed the Scotchman on Eastwood Road, once again using his handgun to get the cash.
Friday morning, another robbery occurred at the Handee Hugo off Oleander Drive. Once again, police say Tate used a gun to get cash.
Investigators say surveillance cameras and the public helped them find Tate.
Wilmington police captain Marshall Williamson said, "Without the cooperation of the media and citizens we would still be investigating these cases."
Police say they finally found Tate at the Red Roof inn off Market Street, shortly after his fourth robbery.
Tate is in the New Hanover County jail, under a $1,000,000 bond facing four counts of armed robbery.
His first court appearance is Monday.
Police say there could be more charges against Tate if they connect him to other robberies earlier this summer.

Savagery ◦Cooldown increased to 8/7.5/7/6.5/6 seconds from 6 seconds at all ranks Battle Roar ◦Damage reduced to 60/100/140/180/220 from 75/120/165/210/255 ◦Armor and Magic resist bonus reduced to 15/22/29/36/43 from 20/30/40/50/60 SUCH A HARD NERF! WIN RATE DOWN FROM 60% to 58%! THANKYOU SO MUCH RIOT!
And the QQers rejoiced... For about 2 days until Rengar players figure a way around it and start pounding the noobs again, just like what happened after the Darius nerfs. I say noobs because anyone worth their salt already didn't have trouble beating a rengar.
He didn't require a hard nerf, I admit his Q chaining could be ridiculous. But the mass armour and MR loss he is getting with his battle roar will make him take a lot more back when he attempts to harrass.
His win rate went from 59% to 58%. Once it hits 51% I will be satisfied. He is still overpowered.
I'm probably going to refund him now. Nobody's picking him in the upcoming tournament. I thought they buffed him so people would play him there but I guess they don't want to see him played anymore because everyone complained about him lol.

Dear Mark: Changing Trajectories, and Magic Mineral Broth
Posted By Mark Sisson On August 26, 2013 @ 8:00 am In Dear Mark,Fasting | 23 Comments
In today's edition of Dear Mark [7] I field two Mark's Daily Apple reader questions. First up, I tackle a query from a reader who's had to make a small but significant shift to his lifestyle due to changing circumstances. What happens when what's worked for months and years stops working? When your daily habits, your go-to regimen, or your the behaviors you've settled in to no longer produce the exact same results you are used to? What do you do? Then, I discuss the magic of vegetable broth, plus how that magic can be enhanced with the addition of a bone [8] or three.
Let's go:
I've been doing IF for about 15 months and had great success until recently I experienced a decrease in my quality of sleep, probably due to a extra stress with a bit of overtraining.
I decided to return back to eating 3-4 times a day, cut some stress, and cut back on the heavy weight sessions. Anything else you'd recommend?
Without knowing more details it's difficult to make any specific recommendations for your particular situation. But I will say that your strategy seems sound. That is, you've got your bases covered, and now it's time to make a few adjustments and see where it leads [9].
I would say the same to anyone in a similar situation: don't get too attached to a path if it's leading you astray.
Carl did IF [10] for over a year to "great success." I don't know exactly what success meant for him, but it probably consisted of the usual benefits people see with fasting [11] – fat loss [12], energy gain, freedom from gnawing hunger, mental well-being, better blood lipids [13]. Whatever it was, it was positive. Until it wasn't, that is. He was humming along, everything was just working, and then things took a downturn. Because he was on top of it, he was able to figure out that a contextual change in his life – more stress and more training – had altered his response to fasting [14]. He assessed the situation, weighed the variables, and reevaluated and reoriented his current trajectory.
This doesn't always happen so smoothly. Too often, we get caught up maintaining a formerly successful, even life altering, trajectory once it stops working for us. Not because of blind loyalty or dogmatism, but because it's hard to grasp that something that worked so well for so long could just stop. I mean, we intellectually know that such a thing can occur. We know that changing circumstances change how we respond to dietary, training [15], and other lifestyle inputs. But actually reevaluating the thing that got you where you are? That's hard. After all, it works, right? How could fasting go from helping you drop all that fat and regain all that midmorning energy to making you regain belly fat and require IV coffee just to function? But when the context changes, our response to our lifestyle changes, too, and this necessitates a shift in strategy.
The details of that shift are dependent on your individual situation [16], of course, so there are no specifics to hand out. There are a few solid general "rules," though, to aid you in your shift:
Your diet, your exercise, your lifestyle are all supposed to serve you and your goals. Examine everything, especially the stuff you're really passionate about. When your health is suffering, there are no sacred cows.
More is not always better and results often follow a U-shaped curve. The better our results are, the more we want to push it with the assumption that more is better. No training is bad, some training is good, too much training is bad [17].
A course altered or temporarily abandoned can always be resumed when the context permits. IF doesn't work so well with too many additional stressors [18], but once you remove some of those stressors you should be able to reintegrate IF successfully.
Take a deload week regularly, a planned period of reduced activity where you take it easy, rest, and recuperate from your training. And not just from exercising. Take a deload week [19] from fasting, or calorie restriction, or eating chicken, or anything that you're doing regularly, just to see how it affects you. Plus, when you get back into the gym, you'll likely be stronger than before and stronger than you would have been had you never taken the time off. We could all use deload weeks where we pull back, take stock of our situation, and honestly assess whether or not our choices are working for us.
Hi Mark:
I came across a website, with a recipe for "Magic Mineral Broth [20]." It's essentially a vegetable derived mineral broth that claims to be high in magnesium, potassium, and sodium. I've read your praises of bone broths and this recipe seems promising, though for different reasons. The recipe calls for the boiling of unpeeled vegetables, including red potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams. I've read your posts about the potential negative effects of glycoalkaloids in potatoes (concentrated in the skins). What are your thoughts on this recipe and do you have any advice to fully primalize a vegetable mineral broth? I'm inclined to throw in a bone or two . . . or three.
A vegetable broth isn't a bad idea, to be honest, and that particular recipe for "Magic Mineral Broth" looks good. For those who didn't click over to the link, it contains carrots, onions, leek, celery, red potatoes, sweet potatoes [21], garlic, parsley, kelp, peppercorns, allspice, bay leaves, and sea salt [22]. Many traditional cuisines emphasize the usefulness of vegetable water, whether through actual vegetable broth or by simply reusing the water left over from cooking vegetables (also known as "pot liquor [23]"). Some accounts put the mineral losses from normal boiling – which we'll see as "gains," since they're being lost to the broth – at 60-70% [24]. I'd imagine it gets far higher with more extensive boiling.
It's good, but I think it can definitely be improved. Throw in the bones, Joe, preferably meaty, connective tissue [25]-rich bones like feet or necks (any animal). A vegetable broth? Okay, sure, I'll drink that. A vegetable broth that gels so hard you can eat it with a fork at room temperature? That's real magic.
It's not like bones cancel out or somehow devalue the plant vitamins and minerals. Contrary to what vegans and carnivores [26] might tell you, plants and animals are completely complementary. They work better together, and we need both to function at an optimal level, whether we're trying to run a farm [27], fill a dinner plate, or yes, make broth [28].
As for the glycoalkaloids, I think you're safe. The gut-irritating potato compounds are notoriously stable. Even after extensive cooking, potato glycoalkaloid levels remain relatively stable [29], which means the cooking water will contain little to none. Besides, four red potatoes – what the recipe calls for – don't represent a large enough dose of glycoalkaloids to fret over, especially in a broth that you'll be using for days or weeks.
All in all, go for the magic broth but make it even more magical by adding some bones, tendon, and sinew (if you can find it).
That's it for today, folks. Thanks for reading and keep sending in those burning questions!
