The contract for the design, development and qualification phase of the B61 (Mod 12) Life Extension Program is expected to last three years, Boeing said.
The B61 nuclear bomb was designed in the early 1960s and entered full production in 1968. The upgraded B61 (Mod 12) upgrade will feature new parts and improved reliability.
"Boeing has provided a wide range of reliable and affordable direct attack weapon solutions to the warfighter for more than a decade," said Debbie Rub, Boeing vice president and general manager for Missiles and Unmanned Airborne Systems. "We will apply our proven experience in tail kit production to this platform to effectively upgrade a vital deterrent capability."
Boeing said it will conduct work on the tail kit in coordination with the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Finding the best modern lighting solution may feel like an overwhelming task, but our wide selection of lights can help make the process easier and more enjoyable. Far from being an afterthought in a room's composition, a thoughtfully chosen contemporary light fixture—whether pendant, modern chandelier, or recessed lighting—is an essential design element to creating an inspiring interior. While finding an optimal contemporary lighting fixture can unify disparate elements in a room and produce a harmonizing design statement, ill-chosen lighting can easily undermine a room's most beautiful furnishings and carefully balanced color scheme.

ATHENS, Ohio – On a cold and wet day in Athens, a goal early in the second proved to be the difference as Ohio defeated the Miami University field hockey team, 1-0, in a defensive battle on Wednesday. The RedHawks fall to 8-8 overall and 2-1 in the Mid-American Conference. The Bobcats are now 6-8 overall and 2-1 in the MAC.
Miami had a few good chances in the first half. The RedHawks were able to earn a penalty corner less than two minutes into the game. The shot by junior back Ali Froede was blocked by a Bobcat defender before it could find the net. Junior midfielder Gabby Goldach hit the post on an attempt midway through the half, while senior forward Emily Gruesser had her shot saved by Ohio goalkeeper Brittany Walker in the 33rd minute to send the game into the break scoreless.
Two minutes into the second half, the Bobcats' Luli Teruel Gomez was able to get the ball on a breakaway. She rifled a shot from the top of the circle into the low center of the goal, beating Miami senior goalkeeper Sarah Mueller and making the score 1-0.
It continued to be a defensive battle until the 'Hawks had their final opportunity in the 63rd minute. Earning a penalty corner, Gruesser sent the ball into the middle of the circle. Goldach took a shot that was blocked. The rebound went to Froede, but her shot went high. Ohio was able to run out the rest of the clock to secure the victory.
The Bobcats held a slim, 8-6, advantage in shots. The teams were even with three penalty corner attempts apiece. Froede led Miami with three shots, while Mueller made two saves in goal.
The RedHawks look to rebound on Sunday when they head to Kent State for a noon game.

This summer I had the opportunity of attending one of the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre "Shakespeare in the Park" productions in conjunction with the Chicago Park District and Boeing. The concept is to bring professional productions, such as The Taming of the Shrew, free of charge to Park Districts throughout the city so masses can enjoy. A new sort of summer tradition, if you will. The Summer 2012 schedule ran from North of the City at Welles Park to South of the City at Ridge Park, making classic drama accessible to all. Stellar acting lends a new take on Shakespeare.
Although the productions are done for the summer, keep an eye out for the 2013 season. It's a great non-traditional tourist attraction while visiting the city. Plus did I mention it's FREE? So pack a picnic and bring a bottle of wine, it's perfectly acceptable. The Red Line El train, located 1 block from the Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago Downtown, makes transportation to and from select Park Districts easy! To receive information on upcoming Shakespeare in the Park locations and productions, sign up for the email blasts, follow the hashtag #ShakesInTheParks on Twitter, or "like" them on Facebook.

"Jake Shannon has single handedly resurrected one of the world's lost arts of grappling through his ScientificWrestling.com crusade. I can't think of anyone more enthusiastic about Catch as Catch Can Wrestling than Jake. He has breathed new life into one of the toughest styles of grappling in the world. I am thoroughly impressed by his knowledge and more than that his ability to have personally befriended CACC greats like Karl Gotch, Billy Robinson and others and how he has brought them back into the limelight so that their legacies could be shared with this generation. That took a lot of dedication and a lot of selfless effort on his part. Jake has truly brought back lost techniques and lost heroes. It is a great honor to have learned from Jake and to call him friend." - Brandon Ruiz, FILA Grappling World Champion, NAGA Grappling World Champion, 2X Pancrase World Champion, Greco Roman Wrestling Pan Am Silver Medalist, 8 x Greco Roman & Freestyle Wrestling All-American, 2nd Degree Black Belt Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Ruiz Combat Grappling
"Honest, Hardworking, Strong Character, Creative, & Energetic... Wow. Jake you're on a roll with this certification! I support you wholeheartedly my friend." - Mark Schultz, Olympic Gold Medal-winning wrestler, successful UFC competitor, 2x Freestyle Wrestling World Champion, and 3x NCAA Wrestling Champion.
"[Scientific Wrestling is] the most legitimate, honest website and conglomerate of people that are true fans of catch wrestling that have the right spirit for it. It's not trying be something different or trying sell something. It's trying to honor the memory and trying to keep the history alive and that is really important to me." - Neil Melanson, Head Grappling Coach for UFC legend Randy Couture and Xtreme Couture Las Vegas
"Jake Shannon and his Scientific Wrestling program has allowed me to train with the best in the world. After visiting coach Shannon and training catch as catch can for the first time in 2007, I quickly realized that I needed to learn a style that didn't take away from my collegiate wrestling and judo experience. Instead, catch allowed me to learn submissions from positions that I was already used to. I couldn't be more grateful to Jake for putting me in that crooked neck scissors a few years ago and opening my eyes to painful techniques that really work. Nothing flashy, no politics, just catch as catch can!" - Luis Ojeda, 2X King of Catch Wrestling Heavyweight Champ, Current NACWA Heavyweight Champion, Scientific Wrestling Assistant Coach (under Billy Robinson)
"JAKE, YOU ARE THE VERY BEST INDIVIDUAL PERSON TO COME ALONG IN THIS GENERATION AND DO WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR WRESTLING, I CAN'T FIND WORDS TO EXPRESS MYSELF. MUCH RESPECT" - Billy Wicks, Catch-As-Catch-Can legend and retired law enforcement officer.
"Catch somehow ignited a fire in me that those samurai esq styles could not. I have a renewed interest in all things Western! From various Wrestling styles, sword & pole-arm combat, hand to hand combat & most importantly: History & Autodidacticism. It all started with exposure to ScientificWrestling.com. Thank you for filtering out the nonsense so those who seek the truth about Catch Wrestling can do so." - Michael Guzman
"ScientificWrestling.com is an excellent web resource, offering a large number of high quality videos... The information is top notch, especially for submission wrestling. I got a particularly good compression armlock from the welcome page alone" - Review from Fighters Review
"When I first sat down and watched Yoshiaki Fujiwara's Submission Master DVD I was blown away by it. I honestly love this DVD... Outside of the actual techniques there are some fantastic conditioning segments that present all of the latest and greatest methods for getting in shape. This is almost exactly the same stuff you've already spent your hard earned money on so that you could get the newest fitness innovations . . . except it was originally recorded before UFC 1!" - Review from Maximumg.com
"Dear Jake, What you have put together is wonderful! Very insightful. You will run a great clinic and be a success. I have never seen anything like this." - Frankie Cain (aka The Great Mephisto), Carnival Wrestler and Boxer and Wild Bull Rider

Thanks for this treasure & congratulations!" - Dick Cardinal, former carnival wrestler and Catch As Catch Can Wrestling Legend

The book will be placed in our library here at the museum, so that others can have access to it." -Mike Chapman, Executive Director of the International Wrestling Institute and Museum
"The Sport of Catch Wrestling is a unique combination of historical information, a pictorial of authentic catch wrestling techniques, and a practical workbook. Jake is to be commended for his efforts to both preseve and spread catch-as-catch-can wrestling." - Mark S. Hewitt, author of Catch Wrestling: A Wild and Wooly Look at the Early Days of Pro Wrestling in America

Obama may act to stop infrastructure cyberattacks
Wednesday - 8/8/2012, 6:39pm EDT
By KIMBERLY DOZIER and LOLITA C. BALDOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration is weighing plans to use its executive power to press U.S. businesses to better protect critical industries from potentially crippling computer attacks, after Congress failed to pass such legislation last week.
President Barack Obama may use his authority to issue orders compelling or encouraging private industry to meet minimum security standards to protect their computer networks from attacks by hackers or foreign governments, White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan said Wednesday.
"One of the things that we have to do in the executive branch is to see what we can do to maybe put additional ... guidelines or policy in place under executive branch authorities," Brennan told the Council on Foreign Relations. "If the Congress is not going to act on something like this, then the president is going to do everything possible."
His comments reflect escalating U.S. worries about the persistent computer network probes, attacks and industrial espionage that already have stolen billions of dollars in high-tech data from U.S. companies and could eventually shut down critical water or power plants.
A fierce lobbying effort by businesses and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce stalled legislation in the Senate, even after authors revised the bill so that it called for voluntary participation by companies, rather than creating new regulations and mandates.
Brennan said the White House was looking at possible additional guidelines or changes in policy, but he did not indicate whether such measures would require industry participation or use incentives to encourage voluntary action.
"We're going to keep pushing on the Congress, but we're also going to do what we can under executive branch authorities," he said.
The Senate cyberattack legislation initially had given the federal government new authority to require businesses to protect their networks, but there was widespread opposition to the idea of expanding federal regulatory powers during tough economic times.
The revised bill offered incentives, such as liability protection and technical assistance, to businesses that voluntarily participated in a government-managed computer security program. Industry associations and groups would be involved in developing the standards needed to blunt the risks of computer attacks, according to the revised legislation.
Industry groups, however, said voluntary standards would lead to mandates. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other congressional Republicans support a competing bill drafted by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., that is similar to legislation passed by the House in late April. Those bills are focused only on the sharing of threat information between the federal government and private sector. The White House threatened to veto the House bill, however, over concerns the bill didn't do enough to protect privacy rights.
"I think the administration is seriously frustrated over the lack of congressional action and may decide they have no choice" but to act administratively, said Roger Cressey, who served as a cybersecurity and counterterrorism adviser in the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations.
Cressey, now a senior vice president at the Booz Allen Hamilton consulting firm, said the administration was weighing a number of options, including offering incentives, such as liability protection, to entice industry to opt-in to voluntary computer security standards. He said there likely would be more conversations about the issue after Congress returns in September before the White House takes any action.
Senate leaders have said they will take another stab at passing the computer security bill in September. But at least one of the bill's authors, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, voiced concern about the impact of White House action.
"Given the threat, I understand the administration's desire to act, but an executive order should not be a substitute for legislative action," Collins said. "I am deeply disappointed that the Senate failed to pass our bipartisan bill before the August recess, but it remains imperative that this Congress address this issue. An executive order could send the unintended signal that congressional action is not urgently needed."
Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., who also is one of the authors, noted that there were some provisions that could only be done by statute. But, he added, "If Congress cannot get its act together to protect our nation from the real, urgent and growing threat of cyberattack, then the president must do everything he can by executive order."
It's not clear whether the threat of executive action could trigger greater support for the bill or whether it merely would coalesce opposition.
Top military, intelligence and national security officials have ramped up their warnings to Congress and the American public about the dire cyber threats the U.S. is facing, and the fact that it will only get worse.

New nonprofit to promote Obama agenda
Friday - 1/18/2013, 2:30pm EST
By KEN THOMAS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - In an unprecedented move, President Barack Obama's vaunted political organization is being turned into a nonprofit group _ funded in part by corporate money _ to mobilize support behind the president's second-term agenda.
The tax-exempt organization will be called Organizing for Action and seek to harness the energy of Obama's re-election campaign for future legislative fights. Officials said the group will be separate from the Democratic National Committee and advocate on key policy issues such as gun control and immigration, train future leaders and devote attention to local issues around the country.
"Following in the footsteps of the campaign you built, Organizing for Action will be an unparalleled force in American politics," Obama said in an email to supporters Friday. "It will work to turn our shared values into legislative action, and it'll empower the next generation of leaders in our movement."
Obama campaign manager Jim Messina will serve as the group's national chairman, and White House official Jon Carson is leaving the administration to become its executive director. Democratic officials familiar with the group said the organization plans to accept donations from individuals and corporations _ and disclose their identities _ but not take money from lobbyists and political action committees, a move in line with donor rules set up for the president's inaugural committee. It will have offices in Washington and Chicago, the officials said.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plans in advance of a public announcement on Friday.
Messina said in separate email to supporters that the group would support Obama "in creating jobs and growing the economy from the middle out, and in fighting for issues like immigration reform, climate change, balanced deficit reduction, and reducing gun violence."
Coming just days before Obama's second inauguration, the move represents the first time a sitting president has ever transformed his presidential campaign operation into an outside group with the express purpose of promoting his agenda.
Obama campaign aides and volunteers are expected to discuss the group at a conference on Sunday focused on the future of the campaign organization and the president's legacy.
The group's board of directors will include several former White House and campaign aides, including former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, top campaign officials Stephanie Cutter, Jennifer O'Malley-Dillon and Julianna Smoot, Obama campaign adviser and Democratic strategist Erik Smith and Frank White, a businessman and prominent Obama donor.
White House aide David Plouffe, the 2008 campaign manager, is expected to join the board after he leaves the administration later this month. Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod will serve as a consultant to it.
Obama's political apparatus, which paired traditional grassroots techniques with cutting-edge technology, was groundbreaking when it was created for the 2008 campaign. It signed up legions of backers, collected information about them and linked them to each other through the Internet. It also used sophisticated new tools _ and mounds of data it had culled _ to identify sporadic or new voters, and ensure they turned out on Election Day.
Huge numbers of minority, young and first-time voters went to the polls to carry Obama to victory.
After he won, Obama decided to house the backbone of his campaign _ his massive email list, which at the time included roughly 12 million to 13 million contacts, its technological functions and its network of neighborhood team leaders _ at the DNC, which historically has served as the president's political arm.
The grass-roots mobilizing and fundraising operation was dubbed Organizing for America, and it sought to marshal support for Obama's health care overhaul during the first term. But it struggled to have much impact on the divisive debate and essentially became a campaign-in-waiting for Obama ahead of his re-election race.
When Obama launched his 2012 campaign, he had a full-scale political operation at the ready. It raised more than $1 billion and used high-tech tools to identify supporters and turn them out in droves. He also used it to mobilize grassroots supporters behind efforts to extend the payroll tax cut, federal student aid benefits and recent efforts to raise taxes on the wealthy.
Since Obama's re-election, one question in Democratic circles has been whether Obama would turn over his operation to the DNC to build the party for the future _ or whether he would use it to protect his legacy.
After surveying its members, Obama's re-election campaign team considered housing the organization within the DNC but decided to become a nonprofit because it was the best way for campaign volunteers to stay together as a group and advocate for issues they care about.

Scouting Report-If there was a player born to be a slot receiver in the NFL it was Gilyard. He's undersized, and a little on the frail side. But he's quick and agile and has excellent hands. his size won't allow him to line up and beat a jam on a top CB but in the slot, with a nickle back, safety or linebacker, Gilyard will have the advantage. He's got a knack for making tough catches on poorly thrown balls, showing nice leaping and exceptional body control. Gilyard is a firey player and plays with great confidence. You have to like that in a prospect. On the downside, he's not a no.1 or even a no.2 wide out in the NFL, because of his slight build. And there will always be criticisms of him based on the fact that he is coming out of a spread passing offense where he is able to accumulate stats. But all that aside, he runs nice tight routes in and out of breaks quickly and is deadly in the open field. He may not score huge on the stopwatch but I really don't care. He is at top speed in a hurry and you can just see him run away from players. Lots of moves in the open field and tough to bring down. He does a nice job accounting for his size by avoiding big hits. He's not much of a blocker and even in the receiving game not a real physical player but he will fight for the ball in the air.
Draft Status-Gilyard is the kind of player who's probably not going to be drafted real high, because of some physical shortcomings and the fact he didn't work out in shorts like many had hoped. But with so many teams working more and more out of 3 WR sets, a guy like Gilyard can be a real weapon. He won't see the double teams and he'll be able to take advantage of his matchups. I expect to see Gilyard off the board somewhere in the bottom third of the second round.
Final Analysis-Give me a player like Gilyard on my team anytime. He's a hardcore competitor, rallies his teammates, and while he has a unique skill set that won't fit every team, he's the kind of player most every team could benefit from having in some capacity. He's got amazing body control, catches everything with his hands, and as I said, it just lightning after the catch. Oh, and did I mention he's a dominant kick and punt returner as well? Yeah, Gilyard is sort of a Swiss Army knife when it comes to hsi skills and teams are going to avoid him because he's not 6-2 and 220lbs and they are going to miss out on a really great football player.
Reminds me of: Steven Breaston, Arizona Cardinals-Gilyard is a little smaller than Breaston, but both very similar types of players. Run the short and intermediate routes really well, work out of the slot, explosive after the catch, and great hands. Breaston has made Anquon Boldin expendable because he's worked hard to round out his game. No doubt Gilyard can have a similar kind of impact.
NOTE-I apologize for the language in the Youtube video is anyone is offended. This isn't my video and I had no choice in that music. But I thought it was an excellent look at Gilyard so please watch, and it you don't like the music, mute it and hum a tune.

CASSTOWN — High winds fueled the flames that destroyed an abandoned grain elevator on State Route 55 in Casstown Thursday afternoon.
Fire crews responded to the scene of the blaze around 4:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon as onlookers watch as the village landmark burned to the ground. No injuries were reported.
The initial call requesting aid was in regards to a piece of barn siding entangled in power lines near the grain elevator. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Crews from Troy, Fletcher, North Hampton, Christiansburg and other local stations responded to the scene to provide mutual aid.
The structure burned completely down had been vacant for decades. The fire also cause damaged to homes across the street. The heat from the blaze melted siding of at least two homes across the street from the blaze.
The grain elevator was an example of a classic wooded "cribbed" grain elevator.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To monitor progression or recurrence of a rare cancer called mesothelioma that affects the membranes that surround the lungs, heart, and abdominal cavity; most cases of mesothelioma are associated with asbestos exposure.
When to Get Tested?
After you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, this test may be ordered anytime during or after treatment to follow response to treatment.
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Soluble mesothelin-related peptides (SMRP) are breakdown products from proteins found in the membranes that line the cavities surrounding the lungs, heart, and abdomen. High amounts of SMRP are often seen in the blood of people suffering from mesothelioma, and the amount of SMRP in the blood is thought to be related to the extent of disease. This test measures the amount of SMRP in the blood.
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare cancer of the membranes that cover the outside of internal organs and line body cavities, including the chest (pleural mesothelioma), abdominal cavity (peritoneal mesothelioma), and the heart (pericardial mesothelioma). Between 2,000 and 3,000 new cases are diagnosed annually in the U.S., and pleural mesothelioma is the most common type, accounting for 90% of all cases. Most cases of pleural mesothelioma—about 70% to 80%—arise in people with a history of working with asbestos, especially in the shipbuilding, construction, automotive, and fireproofing industries. The disease has a long latency period, meaning that people usually develop mesothelioma 20 to 50 years after asbestos exposure.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is taken by needle from a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Rutherford ran for election as Governor of Illinois. He officially launched his 2014 campaign for governor on June 3, 2013.[2] He sought the Republican nomination in the March 18 primary election on a ticket with Steve Kim. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
Rutherford served as a Legislative Assistant for former State Representative Tom Ewing from 1978 to 1980 and was a Business Executive.
He served in the Illinois State Senate, representing District 53 from 2003 to 2010 and serving as an Assistant Minority Leader. Before becoming a Senator, Rutherford was a member of the Illinois House of Representatives from 1993 to 2003. [3]

Political career
State treasurer (2011-Present)
When they were first elected, Rutherford and comptroller Judy Baar Topinka said they planned to flex their muscle as the state's fiscal officers, with an aim at Gov. Pat Quinn's borrowing. Quinn called borrowing one of his "budget pillars," yet the state treasurer and comptroller must sign-off on short term borrowing, according to Illinois state law.
"I have a number of questions about any type of short term borrowing," Topinka said. "What will the money be used for, how long will it be out, and is there money for the state to pay it back?"
Topinka said she would not issue blank checks to the governor. Rutherford said he thought he had a mandate to be tough and that voters picked Republicans to hold the fiscal offices of the state for a reason.
"[One] thing that I think is going to be impactful is to have people who are willing to articulate what may be a differing opinion on the finances of the state."
Rutherford said that not all borrowing is bad, but that he worried about Illinois' mounting debt and the state's ability to repay what it borrows.[1]
While Rutherford cannot stop lawmakers from borrowing billions to pay the state's backlog of unpaid bills, he said he planned to deter this practice by making it more expensive.
On May 23, 2011, Rutherford said he could not support adding to Illinois' burgeoning debt.
He released his own report that states Illinois total debt would cost every household in the state $42,000. Rutherford arrived at the number by adding Illinois' $140 billion in unfunded pension and health-care liabilities, the state's $45 billion bond debt, and the nearly $8 billion in unpaid bills.
The treasurer said lawmakers must cut spending and live within their means in order for Illinois to pay off the debt.
"You can't borrow anymore money," said Rutherford. "And if I need to send letters to the rating companies to tell them the treasurer of Illinois is opposed to any more borrowing, I'll go ahead and do that."
Rutherford said alerting national rating agencies and bond houses could make it more expensive for Illinois to borrow. He said hoped that step would give lawmakers pause before asking for a billion dollars.[4]
Criticism for raises
Rutherford, along with Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka, came under criticism in September 2011 for giving pay raises during a fiscal crisis. Topinka gave 56 employees raises of at least 3 percent and several employees raises up to 15 percent. Rutherford gave out 19 raises averaging 16 percent increases. The issue came to light by an analysis of payroll records by the Better Government Association, a Chicago nonprofit group.[5]
Illinois State Senate (2003-2010)
Civil Unions
Rep. Rutherford was the only GOP lawmaker to vote yes on the civil unions legislation before it headed to Gov. Quinn's desk.[6]

Rutherford ran for Governor of Illinois in 2014 alongside his choice of lieutenant gubernatorial running-mate Steve Kim. He sought the Republican Party nomination in the primary election on March 18, 2014. The general election took place November 4, 2014.[2][7][8]
Challenges for Gov. Quinn
Current incumbent Pat Quinn, a Democrat who went from lieutenant governor to governor following Rod Blagojevich's 2009 impeachment, won a full term in 2010 and lost his bid for re-election in 2014 to Republican Bruce Rauner. According to multiple outside ratings, Quinn was among the most vulnerable governors in the 2014 electoral cycle.[9]
Incumbent Lt. Gov Sheila Simon (D) announced in February 2013 that she would not run for re-election in 2014 alongside Quinn, her 2010 running mate. Simon said she wanted to seek a new office that would allow her to have a "greater impact," and later declared her candidacy for state comptroller.[10][11] Simon's thinly veiled swipe at the office's impact was followed shortly thereafter by the Illinois House of Representatives' approval of a proposal seeking to eliminate the position of lieutenant governor altogether by constitutional amendment, effective after the 2018 election. In order for the measure to be passed, it would need the approval of both the State Senate and Illinois voters.[12] Quinn said he wanted "a people person" to replace Simon, and ultimately settled on former Chicago public schools chief Paul Vallas.[13]
The 2014 electoral cycle marked the first time in Illinois history that candidates for the offices of governor and lieutenant governor ran on a single ticket in the primary election phase. Spurred by the 2010 election fiasco when Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor Scott Lee Cohen had to drop out of the race after being arrested on charges of steroid use and domestic battery, the new joint ticket rule intended to increase the importance of the lieutenant governor based on its partnership with the governor. In theory, allowing gubernatorial candidates to handpick their running mates for the primary would cause campaigns to "better define their priorities for voters and cover more ground as election season gets underway."[13]
As of May 2015, Illinois is one of 7 Democratic state government trifectas. In such a blue state, it was expected that Quinn's biggest threat in 2014 would come from a fellow Democrat. The potential primary challenges for Quinn included William "Bill" Daley, a past U.S. Commerce Secretary and White House chief of staff, and attorney general Lisa Madigan. Quinn dodged both bullets as both potential challengers removed themselves from contention by September 2013. Madigan dropped her long anticipated bid in June 2013 in order to seek another term as attorney general.[14][15][16] In September 2013, after a promising first stretch of campaigning, Daley abruptly ended his campaign for the Democratic nomination.[17][16] Called "a member of Chicago's first political family," for his relation to two of Chicago's longest-reigning mayors, Daley's departure in particular was a coup for Quinn, whose apparently bleak re-election prospects improved markedly in his absence.[18]
Quinn was the fifth out of a total of 46 previous Illinois lieutenant governors to have succeeded to the governorship mid-term. As governor, Quinn emphasized improving the state government's ethical standards and protecting public-sector labor unions. His tenure was marred by steep, deeply unpopular budget cuts and tax increases stemming from long-term state debt among other issues that contributed to his status among the least popular governors facing re-election in 2014.[19]
Bruce Rauner earned the endorsement of the Chicago Tribune prior to the general election.[20] The Chicago Tribune traditionally endorses Republican candidates for statewide and national office, with the notable exception of the paper's endorsement for Barack Obama (D) in the 2008 presidential election.[21]
Third-party candidates
Quinn and Rauner ran against Libertarian candidate Chad Grimm. There were three other third party tickets in race, led by Michael Oberline (Constitution) Scott Summers (Green) and Michael Hawkins (Independent), until an August 22 petition challenge ruling by the Illinois State Board of Elections disqualified their respective parties from appearing on the November 4 ballot. It was the first time in a decade that the Libertarian Party, which survived the signature challenge, was the only minor party to compete for Illinois statewide office in the general election.[22]
Primary review, cross-party vote phenomenon
On September 3, 2013, individuals aiming to qualify for a slot on the March 2014 primary ballot began gathering signatures. The filing period for major party primary candidates ended on December 2, 2013, with only one Democrat, Tio Hardiman, filing to go up against Quinn. On the Republican end, candidates included state Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard, state treasurer Dan Rutherford and venture capitalist Bruce Rauner. Early polls showed Rutherford as the front-runner for the GOP nomination, but Rauner rocketed ahead of the pack by November 2013 and maintained a 15-point average lead up to the March primary, which he won.[23]
A newcomer to politics, Rauner achieved the name recognition he needed to overcome his more established opponents with the help of massive campaign spending totaling nearly $14 million, including $6 million of his own money—the highest amount a candidate has ever spent on his own primary campaign for governor in Illinois.[24][25]
Unofficial results from the March 18 primaries revealed some steep deviations from typical voting behaviors recorded in past elections. Based on the breakdown of votes in the Republican and Democratic gubernatorial primaries provided by the Chicago Tribune on election night, Ballot Access News analyzed what appeared to be a spectacularly low turnout of Democratic voters (438,112 votes) in the party's nominally contested primary. They detected that hundreds of thousands of Democratic voters must have taken advantage of the state's mixed-hybrid primary system to vote the Republican ballot instead of their own. Under Illinois' primary rules, voters can change parties each year but must declare a party affiliation at the polls. Depending on which party is chosen, the voter will then be counted as registered for that party. Voters may change party affiliation at polls or caucus.[26]
The mass cross-over by Democrats was linked to one specific issue highlighted in this year's GOP governor's race: government employee unions. Most of the Democrats who participated in the Republican primary did so in order to ensure Kirk Dillard, who sided with the unions in the state senate, would lose to Bruce Rauner, who promised to curtail union influence.[27]
In Illinois, the last time more votes were cast in the Republican than the Democratic gubernatorial primary was 1986; not since the 1940s had so few votes been cast in a Democratic gubernatorial primary election. Compared to the last five Illinois gubernatorial elections, there was no significant spike in Republican votes in 2014, indicating the trend reversal was caused by a tremendous drop in Democratic gubernatorial primary votes cast.[27]

Kennedy Scores Three and Assists on Four as #10 Women's Lacrosse Bounces SNHU 15-9
March 23, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University, ranked tenth in the latest IWLCA poll, scored a dozen first half goals en route to a 15-9 victory over visiting Southern New Hampshire in womens lacrosse action Tuesday afternoon at N.E. Lefko Field. The Lady Falcons improve to 8-2 overall while the Penmen even to 2-2.
Pfeiffer built an early 2-0 lead on goals from Jessica Kennedy (Perth, AUSTRALIA) and Heidi Karaszkiewicz (Glen Burnie, MD) inside the first five minutes of play. Southern New Hampshire got on the board with a tally at 20:19 from Emily Mongeau (Westborough, MA) on a free position shot. After Mongeaus score, Pfeiffer would rattle off the next eight strikes to take a 10-1 advantage.
Eight different Lady Falcons scored in that stretch with Liz Melesh (Annapolis, MD) starting the streak at the 19:39 mark of the first. Amanda Smith (Hagerstown, MD), Alex Cook (Commack, NY), Tory Binder (Woodstock, MD), Allie Gamble (Easton, MD) and Sarah Hebberd (Golden, CO) would each score in a five minute span putting the Lady Falcons up seven. Karaszkiewicz and Binder followed with their second goals of the day for the nine-goal advantage with 4:26 to play.
Carole Lee (Derry, NH) scored both of her goals at the 3:36 and 1:50 mark before and after another tally from Kennedy as Binder closed out the half with her third and a 12-3 halftime lead for the Lady Falcons.
Sherry Darrell (Bow, NH) scored all four of her game-high amount in the second half, beginning with a free position shot 67 seconds in. After Gamble and Natalie Marvin (South Berwick, ME) went back-to-back, Sara Hilbich (Salem, NH) and Darrell accounted for five of the games final six goals. Kennedy squeezed the 15th goal for the Lady Falcons in at 10:39. Kennedy also finished with a game-high four assists while Allie King (Severna Park, MD) led all with a game-high five groundballs.
The tenth-ranked Lady Falcons will be back in action this weekend traveling to Severna Park, MD for a pair of neutral site games. Pfeiffer will take on Molloy on Saturday before third-ranked C.W. Post on Sunday.

HAVELOCK – In a back-and-forth filled soccer match, the West Craven Eagles edged the Havelock Rams 3-2, thanks to two goals from a chief import.
Swedish foreign-exchange student, Johannes Lindgren-Ingman delivered one goal in the first half for the Eagles' first lead of 1-0, then the game-winner with 3:53 on the clock.
"It was on a throw in and I saw the ball bounce off one of their guys' back and I just kicked it in," Lindgren-Ingman said.
The game was tied 1-1 at halftime, off Lindgren-Ingman's first goal and a header from Havelock star Noah Kemble.
Havelock's Spanish foreign-exchange student Miguel Diaz-Maurino headed the ball into the net early in the second half to give the Rams a 2-1 advantage.
Hunter Games answered with a goal at the 19:06 mark, setting up Lindgren-Ingman's clincher.
"I think we just were able to keep our composure and not hit the panic button when they took the lead early in the second half," West Craven coach Aaron Steele said.
"It has always been a down-to-the-wire game with Havelock whenever we play Havelock and we had to step up. This win was huge for us because we needed to get out of a rut we had been in and get some of our respect back."
The Eagles improve to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in the loaded Coastal Conference, while Havelock falls to 2-6-2 overall and 0-3 in the conference.
"I really don't know what happened to us tonight," Havelock coach Jeremiah Johnson said. "West Craven stepped up and they were hungrier. We just need to keep playing to our level and not to the level of our competition."
Havelock hosts White Oak Tuesday, while the Eagles host Richlands.
West Craven 1 2 - 3
Havelock 1 1 – 2
Goals: West Craven – Johannes Lindgren-Ingman (2), Hunter Games. Havelock – Noah Kemble, Miguel Diaz-Maurino.

Everything has its exceptions, and this column is no different.
For years, I've been exploring all corners of the state looking for places to escape — places where civilization disappears. Places where you forget you are in one of the most developed places on the planet.
But I'm making an exception with East Haddam's Beebe Road.
This time I'm saying stick to the road, but not all the way. There are escapes at both ends in the form of a 20-acre preserve and an ancient cemetery.
We'll start this trip at the 20-acre William Jezek Memorial Preserve, located along the banks of the 451-acre Moodus Reservoir, which once powered cotton mills below along the banks of the Moodus River.
The white-blazed trails aren't long or strenuous and reward you at the end with panoramic views of the reservoir after passing through deep deciduous forests along stone walls and over tranquil streams.
A blue-blazed trail will bring visitors out to Beebe Road, a road that separates marshes and farmland from the reservoir. Walking north, the road turns to dirt and passes through a picturesque marsh on the east and an inlet of the reservoir off to the west. The marsh is filled with a mix of evergreens and swamp maples. A beaver has dammed Molley Brook that flows in from the nearby highlands.
After leaving the marsh and reservoir, the road bisects two huge farms with fields reaching into the forested horizon. A red-tailed hawk clasps onto one of the highest branches of a large tree waiting for an animal's movement in the field below. It's one of my favorite scenes and something I see often whether in the middle of the woods or traveling along I-91.
The road meets East Haddam-Colchester Turnpike, a 19th-century post road, and the Moodus Reservoir causeway separating the lower and upper sections of the lake. After passing a second farm and the town beach, the quarter-mile-long causeway gives visitors great views of the entire reservoir, including a large island and along a bluff, an old cemetery.
The Bashan Lake Cemetery is one of those must-see places. Graves date back to the 1700s. The setting — high on a bluff with the reservoir and distant fields as a backdrop — has huge, dramatically shaped oak trees. Graves are marked by stones or the more elaborate brownstone markers. There is even a marker for "Scout" a faithful friend believed to be the beloved horse of one of the cemetery's occupants.
Beebe Road is not exactly off the beaten path, but it is more than just a place that will get you from point A to point B.
Take Route 149 to Mott Lane. Take a left on East Haddam Colchester Turnpike and a right on Beebe Road. Follow for 2 miles and take a right on Daniel Peck Road. Park near the preserve entrance. There is limited parking along Beebe Road. Visit http://www.ehlt.org/preserves.htm for a map of the preserve.
Questions or column suggestions are welcome. Peter Marteka may be reached by phone at 860-818-7337; pmarteka @courant.com or by mail at The Courant, 200 Adams St., Manchester, CT 06040.

Life Is Elsewhere
Life Is Elsewhere (Paperback)
Related Editions
The author initially intended to call this novel The Lyrical Age. The lyrical age, according to Kundera, is youth, and this novel, above all, is an epic of adolescence; an ironic epic that tenderly erodes sacrosanct values: childhood, motherhood, revolution, and even poetry. Jaromil is in fact a poet. His mother made him a poet and accompanies him (figuratively) to his love bed and (literally) to his deathbed. A ridiculous and touching character, horrifying and totally innocent ("innocence with its bloody smile"!), Jaromil is at the same time a true poet. He's no creep, he's Rimbaud. Rimbaud entrapped by the communist revolution, entrapped in a somber farce.
About the Author
The Franco-Czech novelist Milan Kundera was born in Brno and has lived in France, his second homeland, since 1975. He is the author of the novels The Joke, Farewell Waltz, Life Is Elsewhere, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and Immortality, and the short-story collection Laughable Lovesall originally written in Czech. His most recent novels Slowness, Identity, and Ignorance, as well as his nonfiction works The Art of the Novel, Testaments Betrayed, The Curtain, and Encounter, were originally written in French.

The Introduce Assertion refactoring recommends that each method (and potentially each constructor) checks its preconditions using assertions.
This is a particular form of defensive programming. Some argue that if you have sufficient tests in place, you don't need to apply defensive programming. For the small extra performance penalty, it seems like a small price to pay for extra resilience in our system.
Suppose we have the following method:
If we call it with valid parameters, everything is fine. If we call it with null we will receive a
NullPointerException during the method's execution. This can sometimes be difficult to track down.
Applying this refactoring gives us the following code:
This is better because we become aware of any problems straight away.
