Comments about EBC Disc Brake Pads For Shimano:
I was looking for a brake upgrade from my stock pads on my Tektro Auriga Comp hydraulics and these fit the bill! I had already upgraded to 203mm/180mm rotors, but I like to be able to use 1 finger on the brakes and I weight about 225 pounds loaded down on a ride (plus bike at about 35 lbs).
The organic compound pads grab really hard and they bedded to my rotors easily and quickly (about 5 stops from 15-20 mph on each rotor, allowing cooling in between, plus a couple of stops with both rotors to test emergency stop performance). The brake power and feel is a night and day difference, and they're quiet and smooth (no squeaking or turkey gobbles). Also the price is very reasonable, especially compared to some of the "high-end" pads at $20-$30 per pair!
I expect I found my pads whenever I need replacements from now on!
Comments about EBC Disc Brake Pads For Shimano:
Good value for money and suitable for a variety of riding conditions. The different EBC compounds e.g. Green, Red and Gold covers all weather conditions and terrain.
Comments about EBC Disc Brake Pads For Shimano:
Great so far, as good a life as the Shimano resin and seems to be lasting a lot longer. Quiet, no squealing!

Seventy-Five years of military history!
From Crazy Horse to the cavalry to the K-9 Corps, Fort Robinson played host to them all. Experience the long and varied history of this outpost on the Plains. The museum at Fort Robinson is located in the 1905 post headquarters building. Museum exhibits trace the history from the post's role guarding the Red Cloud Agency (1874-77) through the housing of World War II German POW's (1943-46). Among the many fascinating objects you will see in the museum's exhibits are the only known dog kennel from the K-9 Corps of World War II, marksmanship medals earned by Caleb Benson, a Buffalo Soldier at Fort Robinson between 1902 and 1909, and nineteenth-century Sioux objects related to the Red Cloud Agency.
To learn more about Fort Robinson's history, you can visit more than a dozen historic structures and sites such as the 1904 blacksmith shop, the 1908 veterinary hospital, the 1887 officers' quarters, the 1875 guardhouse and adjutant's office, and the old post cemetery. A museum library featuring materials on Fort Robinson, military, and western history is available to researchers for inhouse use. A self-guided tour book and many books on military and western history are available for purchase in the museum store.

Integration and Functional Testing with Maven 2.0
Put your Integration tests in a separate module
Better Builds With Maven describes a single example module containing only integration tests. In the case of a multi-module "reactor" project, where each module may need some integration testing, you have some choices available to you.
Create Multiple Integration Test POMs
You can, if you wish, create multiple integration test modules, one for each source module in your project. For example, if you've got two child projects "foo" and "bar", you could create a "foo-integration-test" module and a "bar-integration-test" module to test "foo" and "bar" respectively.
The advantage of doing it this way is that it's very clear which integration tests belong to which project. It's also easy for project owners to know which integration tests they're responsible for. The big drawback here is that you've just doubled the number of POM files in your reactor, which can be difficult to manage. Each project will need to be separately referenced in the root POM.
Put all Integration Tests into One Big Module
This is obviously much simpler to wire up in a POM file; simplicity is a virtue in project management.
The disadvantage of doing it this way is that it tends to separate the integration tests from the code they're attempting to test. As a result, you may find that no one "owns" the integration tests; typically you'll have some one person whose job it is to analyze the integration tests and find bugs. QA is hard, but it's even harder when it's unclear who "owns" test failures.
Alternatives to Isolating the Integration Tests
If for some reason you can't put the integration tests in a separate module, here are some ideas.
Integration Tests Only
If you have only integration tests in the same module as your webapp, you can configure Surefire to skip the test phase, then run in the integration-test phase. See this page.
Both Unit and Integration Tests in the Same Module
If you need to run both unit and integration tests in the same module, it's possible, just not very pretty.
There is only one testSourceDirectory per module, so all of your test classes must reside in one directory structure, usually src/test/java.
In the 'test' phase, configure Surefire to exclude the tests in (for example)
Bind another execution of maven-surefire-plugin to the integration-test phase, and reverse the exclusion pattern.
You can see an example of this in the Shale Usecases example app pom.xml file.
Using the Failsafe Maven Plugin to run Integration Tests
The Failsafe Maven Plugin is a fork of the Maven Surefire Plugin designed to help when running integration tests.
If you use this approach, you keep all your tests for a module in the testSourceDirectory, e.g. src/test/java. By default the Failsafe Maven Plugin looks for integration tests matching the patterns */IT.java, **/*IT.java and **/*ITCase.java. You will notice that these bindings do not overlap with the default surefire bindings. To use the Failsafe Maven Plugin you need to add the following to your pom.xml file.
<project> [...] <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>failsafe-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.4.3-alpha-1</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>integration-test</goal> <goal>verify</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> [...] </project>
You will then have the following lifecycle bindings
Plugin execution goal
The advantage to using the Failsafe Maven Plugin is that it will not stop the build during the integration-test phase if there are test failures. The recommendation is that you do not directly invoke the pre-integration-test, integration-test or post-integration-test phases but that instead you run integration tests by specifying the verify phase, e.g.
mvn verify
This allows you to set-up your integration test environment during the pre-integration-test phase, run your integration tests during the integration-test phase, cleanly tear-down your integration test environment during the post-integration-test phase before finally checking the integration test results and failing the build if necessary. Here is an example using jetty for hosting an integration test environment:
<project> [...] <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>failsafe-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.4.3-alpha-1</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>integration-test</goal> <goal>verify</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId> <version>6.1.16</version> <configuration> <scanIntervalSeconds>10</scanIntervalSeconds> <stopPort>8005</stopPort> <stopKey>STOP</stopKey> <contextPath>/</contextPath> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <id>start-jetty</id> <phase>pre-integration-test</phase> <goals> <goal>run</goal> </goals> <configuration> <scanIntervalSeconds>0</scanIntervalSeconds> <daemon>true</daemon> </configuration> </execution> <execution> <id>stop-jetty</id> <phase>post-integration-test</phase> <goals> <goal>stop</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>
The Future
Rumor has it that a future version of Maven will support something like src/it/java in the integration-test phase, in addition to src/test/java in the test phase.

So, I decided to post pics some of my builds.
FuglyBazz Bazz Fuss with a BMP tone. Sounds sweet with humbuckers! Built this for my best friend, drummer, and ex-guitarist from our first metal band in Jr. High... over 21 years playing together! This was my second case etch.
Little Angel Made this for my girlfriend. Screen printed custom metallic baby blue... and black. Hard to see the 'shiny'. LED is blue.
Box O' Bees First effect that I boxed up. I made this for my girlfriend... she loves the synthy sound. I had to hijack it for about half a dozen shows or so until I made my own.
Ugly, aren't they? lol... I'll post more here as I get them done or get pics of them.

From SH's recent article OnTorture:
And so, I am now a bit wiser and can offer a piece of advice to others: not everything worth saying is worth saying oneself. I am sure that the world needs someone to think out loud about the ethics of torture, and to point out the discrepancies in how we weight various harms for which we hold one another morally culpable, but that someone did not need to be me. The subject has done nothing but distract and sicken readers who might have otherwise found my work useful.
That paragraph bothers me. If a respected person of his intellectual status should not write on this subject as he did, then who should? Yes it does need to be SH, among others, who should so write. I do not buy Sam's implication that intelligent & thoughtful people cannot disagree with his views on this touchy subject without Sam's informed views on other subjects being discredited in their minds as a result. I cant even understand how grown ups can rationally disagree with his position - I've certainly heard no cogent argument against SH's position (just emotings). I suspect most governments are responsibly grown up about it, if only silently. In Alan Dershowitz's essay "Tortured Reasoning" in the book Torture (edited by S. Levinson) he points out (p 257) that "All forms of torture are widespread among nations that have signed treaties prohibiting all torture." SH just needs some thicker skin and he shouldn't worry that he will lose any worthwhile fans.
I think the only problem is that too many people have just not grown up and allowed themselves to be realistic or even honest with themselves. When some one says or implies (often self-righteously) that he or she would rather have his family and other innocents blown to pieces rather than have a knowledgeable terrorist waterboarded to save them, I think his or her only excuse for such gross moral negligence is that he or she is still morally only a child who cannot discern a true lesser evil here.

Slide Show
If you're craving more UFO goodness, view our slide show of baffling photos taken by fellow Oregonians over the years.
LONG BEFORE OREGON became a magnet for the creative class, East Coast refugees, and retiring 20-somethings, our state was attracting visitors of a different kind: the alien kind. Not only was the term "flying saucer" coined here in 1947—unleashing a nationwide UFO frenzy—but two of the first-ever photographs of UFOs were taken just down Highway 99, at the Trent farm near McMinnville, in 1950. (See Close Encounters)
This month, thousands of curious onlookers, diehards, and experts will converge on McMinnville for the 13th annual UFO Festival—the second-most popular such celebration in the world, after Roswell, New Mexico's—to commemorate the famous (and still controversial) photos.
But the Trent case merely scratches the surface of Oregon's rich UFO history. By one estimate, Oregon has recorded more than 1,500 reported UFO sightings, making it third on the list of sightings per capita, close behind neighbors in Washington and Montana. We interviewed UFO investigators, debunkers, and historians to learn more about Oregon's penchant for attracting the otherworldly. What we found just might surprise you.

LA GRANGE — Lillie Sutton has watched her Spring Drive neighborhood decline over the years as her neighbors passed away and their children moved to other communities.
When she heard several years ago local officials were seeking grant money to revitalize her block, she thought such change would come in the lifetimes of her grandchildren.
"I heard talk of this going on and I thought it was a fairy tale," Sutton, who has lived on Spring Drive for nearly 30 years, said Tuesday.
She could be around to see major progress come to her tiny residential street on the outskirts of La Grange, thanks to the recent announcement that Lenoir County would be awarded a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant.
The federal grant funds will come to the county through the N.C. Catalyst program, which is under the auspices of the N.C. Department of Commerce.
They will cover the extension of La Grange water and sewer lines to six homes — several of which are on well water — paving of Spring Drive, drainage improvements and demolition, and replacement or rehabilitation of the houses, depending on their condition.
"It's almost like bringing a ghost town to life," said Sutton's daughter, Erica Sumpter, 36, who does not live on Spring Drive but visits her mother daily.
She came Tuesday with her 5-year-old son Jaden Livingston.
David Harris, president of RSM Harris Associates of Goldsboro, and his staffers worked with Lenoir County and La Grange officials, and Spring Drive residents in gathering information for the grant.
"It was a combination of input from the citizens, the town of La Grange, county officials and our knowledge of needs and (CDBG) program characteristics," he said.
Harris' firm then prepared and submitted the grant application documents — he said Tuesday the firm had initially applied for a $750,000 CDBG grant to revitalize both blocks of Spring Drive in 2009, but was turned down.
The firm recently resubmitted its application for the $500,000 grant, which would cover revitalization of the first block of Spring Drive.
The funds will also assist residents with any expenses incurred when living elsewhere if their homes are replaced or rehabilitated. Two of the six homes will be torn down, as they are abandoned.
"Whatever is needed, that's what the family is provided in terms of temporary relocation," Harris said.
Sutton said funds to fix her house would be welcome. She had hired workers to repair floors in her dining room and kitchen. The repairs were partially completed, but she could not afford to finish them as she has spent recent months recovering from a stroke.
"I wasn't able to continue to fix it so I let it go, hoping something would come up, but this is sounding all right to me," the Caswell Developmental Center retiree said.
Her daughter, Sumpter, remembered growing up on Spring Drive, playing with other children who lived on the street.
She recalled having to walk to school when attending the nearby La Grange Elementary School and Frink Middle School — she did not ride a bus until she began attending North Lenoir High School, and even then she and her friends had to walk to the end of the street to meet the bus.
"The road was so bad we had to walk to the main highway," she recalled. "On days when it was cold or rainy, we had to stand out there and wait for the bus."
La Grange Town Manager John Craft said Spring Drive would not be annexed into the town, but the residents will be town water and sewer customers.
He said the town board approved a $5,000 local match to help secure the grant.
Harris said the grant funds will be released to the county in the next few months, which will allow the housing work to proceed.
The road, water, sewer and drainage projects must undergo a significant permitting process, as well as design and bidding.
He expected work to begin early next year and be finished toward the end of the county's 2014 fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2014.
"The project's a good example of what can happen when the town and county can work together to make something happen," Craft said. "It's largely the county's project but certainly the town is glad to provide service to those in need when it can."
David Anderson can be reached at 252-559-1077 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at DavidFreePress.
The following local communities were recently awarded CDBGN.C.Catalyst grants:
nKinston: $100,000
nLenoir County: $500,000
nJones County: $500,000

Olympians' parents react to their kids' performances [Pictures]
It must be hard to be the mother or father of an Olympic athlete. Only watching, having no control, and, unless you're a coach, having to be up in the stands instead of down on the floor or by the pool with them. As you might imagine, the facial expressions that result are heartfelt -- and often priceless.

Arlington girls hold off Lake Stevens in OT
What Marsh said was this: "We're not done. They made a great shot, good for them, it's 0-0 now and now let's go win this thing."
And the Eagles did exactly that.
In a dramatic, physical and hard-fought game between two Western Conference North rivals, Arlington went ahead midway through overtime and hung on for a 66-64 victory that sends the Eagles into tonight's 7 p.m. championship game at the Class 4A state tournament.
"We're such big rivals with Lake Stevens," Arlington senior forward Lindsay Brown said. "We go back and forth with them all the time. But we just knew that we wanted this, and it was time for the seniors to step up and make it happen.
"I can't even find words right now," she added with a grin. "This is unbelievable."
Arlington, which improved to 22-4, faces top-ranked Mead in tonight's title game. Mead defeated Mount Rainier 51-50 in Friday's other semifinal.
"I'm just in shock, to be honest with you," Marsh said with a grin. "I can't ask more of a group of basketball players. They just left it all out there, and as a coach that's all you can ask.
"This is just a tremendous group of girls," he said. And the chance to play for a state title, he added, "is just so exciting for the community."
The Eagles spent most of the game playing catch-up against a determined Lake Stevens team that had title aspirations of its own. The Vikings led by seven points after one quarter, eight at halftime, and 12 early in the third period.
But Arlington never buckled. The Eagles tightened their defense in the second half, holding Lake Stevens to just six field goals in the final two quarters, and just one in the fourth period.
"We struggled in the first half," Marsh said. "Lake Stevens is obviously a great team and they had their way a little bit. But we came in at halftime, settled down and regrouped, and then played tremendous defense in the second half.
"These kids just never quit," he said. "They just battled."
Arlington drew within three points at the end of the third quarter, got its first lead since the game's early moments midway through the fourth period, and then seemed to take control on a Brown 3-pointer and a Winter Brown free throw in the final 35 seconds of regulation.
But Lake Stevens would not go quietly. Senior Brittney Pahukoa dribbled out of backcourt and lifted a 3-point shot from beyond the top of the key that swished as the horn sounded at the end of regulation, sending the game to overtime.
Brown had six points in OT, including another 3-pointer that put the Eagles in front for good. Arlington scored its final four points at the free throw line, and then had enough poise to hold on in the late seconds.
Trailing by three points, Lake Stevens guard Brooke Pahukoa went to the free throw line with 1.7 seconds to play. She made the first shot and deliberately missed the second, but the Eagles gathered the rebound as time expired.
Brown finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds and two blocked shots, while freshman forward Jayla Russ had 23 points and added six rebounds.
"Jayla Russ was just unbelievable for a freshman tonight," Marsh said. "Just unbelievable."
"At the beginning of the game I was really nervous," Russ admitted, "but once I stepped out on the court it was just another game. I just went out there and played my hardest."
Against Mead tonight, the Eagles will be trying to win the second girls basketball state title in school history. Arlington was the 1982 state champion.
Mead presents "a huge challenge," Marsh acknowledged. "But you know what? Us getting here was a huge challenge, too, and we're here. If we go out and play basketball the way we're capable of, we will battle with anybody.
"Why not us?" he added. "That's what we keep saying. Why not?"

Before ascending to the governorship, Quinn served six years as Lieutenant Governor of Illinois and one term as state treasurer of Illinois. Prior to entering politics, Quinn briefly made a living as a tax attorney.
Quinn is set to run for his second full term as governor in 2014. According to race ratings released by Governing Politics and analyst Larry Sabato's "Crystal Ball," Quinn is among the incumbents considered most vulnerable to losing re-election heading into the 2014 gubernatorial election cycle.[2]
His time as governor has thus far been marred by steep, deeply unpopular budget cuts and tax increases stemming from long-term state debt. As lieutenant governor under Blagovevich, Quinn sought to expand the role beyond statutory bounds, dedicating the office's resources and limited powers to issues such as finding aid for families of military service members. Quinn is the fifth of the state's forty-six previous lt. governors to have succeeded to the top job mid-term. Since becoming governor, Quinn has emphasized improving the state government's ethical standards and protecting public-sector labor unions.
Quinn is the grandson of an Irish immigrant, who left a strong imprint of Catholicism on Quinn's father, a public relations official in the Catholic archdiocese of Chicago, as well as Quinn.[3]
Quinn, born in 1948, was the oldest of the three sons of P.J. and Eileen Quinn. He attended Catholic grade school, and then Fenwick High School in Oak Park. For college, Quinn attended Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 1971 with a bachelor's degree in international economics. He went on to obtain his law degree from Northwestern University's School of Law in 1980.[1]
Before entering public service, Quinn was a tax attorney. He gained some early fame in the 1970s by leading an ultimately unsuccessful drive to amend, via a petition drive, the Illinois Constitution with the "Illinois Initiative." This amendment would have provided people from Illinois with the same power to enact statutes through the process of referendum that is used in other states, notably California. Though Quinn's petition drive was successful, his efforts were blocked by the Illinois Supreme Court that ruled that the Illinois Initiative was an "unconstitutional constitutional amendment", and it was never allowed to be placed before the voters.
He also led the charge in 1980 for the one initiated constitutional amendment that has ever qualified for the Illinois ballot: Illinois Ballot Question 1 (1980). This amendment reduced the number of members of the Illinois House of Representatives from 177 to 118. As the petition drive to put the measure on the ballot gained momentum, it also inspired the members of the state legislature to act to eliminate a practice whereby they paid themselves two years' advance pay at the start of each two-year legislative session.[4]
Quinn expressed his appreciation for the initiative process in his state as the campaign proceeded, saying, "Lawmaking by initiative is both practical and workable in Illinois. Other large industrial states like Michigan Ohio, Massachusetts and California have found the initiative process to be an excellent way of directly involving average citizens in state government decisionmaking. Average voters should not be looked upon as little children who need to be protected against themselves. They have common sense and good judgment for making responsible decisions on tough policy questions that affect their lives and pocket-books."[4]

Political career
Governor of Illinois (2009-Present)
Quinn is the 41st and current Illinois Governor. Quinn, formerly the lieutenant governor, ascended to the governorship on January 29, 2009 after the Illinois State Senate impeached former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Quinn won election to a full term on November 2, 2010, which he began serving on January 10, 2011. Quinn's current term will expire on January 12, 2015.
Proposal to eliminate Illinois lt. governor post
On April 11, 2013, the Illinois House of Representatives approved a proposal seeking to eliminate the position of lieutenant governor by constitutional amendment. In order for the measure to be passed, it must win approval of both the State Senate and Illinois voters. If the proposal is approved in a statewide public vote, the office will remain intact for one final term following the 2014 election.[5] After the bill passed in the state House, Quinn spoke out in favor of preserving the office, which he previously held for six years until former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's impeachment caused him to ascend to the governorship. "I believe in that office, for sure, he said of the lieutenant governor, who is empowered to oversee the Illinois River Coordinating Council, the state's Rural Affairs Council and the Illinois Main Street Program, in addition to being first in the line of succession to take over in the event there is a vacancy in the governor's office. Next in line after the lt. governor is the attorney general. When Quinn was lt. governor under Blagovevich, he stretched the role of lt. governor's beyond statutory bounds, and dedicated the office's resources and limited powers to issues such as finding aid for families of military service members. Quinn is the fifth of the state's forty-six previous lt. governors to have succeeded to the top job mid-term.
"There are some issues that fall between the cracks, and somebody has to stand up for those issues," he said, and cited his work helping veterans, among other issues, Quinn said. "It's good to have a backup quarterback."[6]
Gun control
According to Quinn spokeswoman Brooke Anderson, the governor "believes strongly" that restrictions on semiautomatic weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines should be passed in 2013.[7]
High speed rail
In November 2010, Quinn reached out to Wisconsin's train manufacturers and tried to get some of the state's high speed rail federal money. His administration is openly courting Talgo Inc., which is slated to build Wisconsin's high speed rail cars.
Illinois received $1.2 billion in federal stimulus dollars earlier this year to install high speed rail-lines across the state. Instead, Illinois is using the money to improve the lines that run from Chicago to St. Louis and Chicago to Madison, Wisconsin. Missouri and Wisconsin also received federal funding for high-speed rail lines. These states were supposed to finish Illinois' projects when they cross into their states. However, with the Wisconsin election of Republican Scott Walker, the state's commitment to the $810 million project has become unclear.
Quinn said that Illinois would be happy to take the extra federal money if Wisconsin refuses it. "I've already talked to the vice president about it, Vice President Biden," Quinn said. "I told him that if some states, Ohio and Wisconsin turn back money on high speed rail, we've got our hand up right away. We want to make sure we use that money in Illinois."[8]
On December 23, 2010, the several entities involved in making the decision came to an agreement about how to proceed with development. The Illinois Department of Transportation, Amtrak and Union Pacific Railroad gave the agreed on a deal that will allow federal funds to start flowing to the state. IDOT will administer the funds and Amtrak will be responsible for the running the trains. Union Pacific Railroad owns the track that the trains will run on.
"We're very proud that this agreement has been reached," said Josh Kauffman, spokesman for IDOT. "The agreement allows Illinois to access $1.1 billion in (federal) stimulus funds in order to move high-speed rail forward." Quinn praised the agreement. "It's a wonderful day for Illinoisans as we celebrate a milestone achievement towards becoming the first state in the nation to bring high-speed rail to fruition," he said in a press release.[9]
Civil unions
Gov. Quinn promised to sign the legislation to legalize civil unions as soon as it lands on his desk. The law would come into effect on July 1.[10]
Quinn entered the chamber during lawmakers' closing speeches, and later declared the bill's passage "right." "I think it is the right thing to do because it's the right of conscience of people of our state that they should have this right," Quinn said. "I think it is important that we respect the diversity that we have in our state and be a tolerant state of Illinois."[11]
Tax increase
The Illinois State Senate passed a plan for a two point income tax hike, from 3 percent to 5 percent. At the start of the 2011 session, Quinn met with Democratic leaders to speak about passing tax hike legislation in the House. Quinn is pulling for a hike of at least 1 percent.
Senate President John Cullerton said the House is going to have to act first. "We already passed an income tax out of the Senate," Cullerton said. "So they're talking about getting the vote to pass an income tax out of the House."
House Republicans hesitate to support any tax increase without concessions from Quinn and legislative Democrats. State Rep Jil Tracy said while there has been talk of Medicaid, workers' comp and education reform, talk isn't going to get many votes. "I only hope there's been a lot of real reform talked about that's going to be shown in legislation," she said. "I'm not sure." Tracy said Democrats only want GOP votes as a shield against angry voters.[12]
Concealed carry
In May 2011, Gov. Pat Quinn announced that he would veto the concealed carry bill on which the Illinois Legislature had voted, if it landed on his desk. The bill would allow Illinois residents to carry concealed firearms in public. That threat held little water because the bill had a lot of support and might win through a supermajority (71 votes in the House and 36 votes in the Senate) of votes from both chambers.
Rep. Brandon W. Phelps said he was trying to find enough support in the House to move the plan over to the Senate. Phelps said he wanted to call House Bill 148 for a vote on May 5, regardless of Quinn's opposition. "I just think that (Quinn) is wrong," Phelps said. "And you agree to disagree. Sometimes people within your own party disagree with what they say. And I totally disagree with him today."
Under HB 148, Illinois residents 21 and older could apply for permits to carry concealed firearms in public, except for places like schools, churches and inside state government buildings. Applicants would need to pass a written exam, firearms training exercises and background checks. "About two-thirds of the citizens of our state are steadfastly and strongly opposed to allow private citizens to carry loaded, concealed handguns in public places," Quinn said.
Sen. Gary Forby said the opponents of concealed carry mostly live in and around Chicago and that people downstate, and in other states, support the idea. "I think all we are doing now, we are really helping the state of Illinois with what they got to do to get a license and stuff," Forby said. "So all you are going to do is put guns in peoples' good hands."
Quinn said the plan may lead to more violence. "I don't think that's healthy, if you are going to the grocery store," Quinn said. "You bump into somebody accidentally, and they take offense, they can pull out a loaded, concealed handgun to assuage their anger."
Sen. Larry Bomke said the plan would deter violence, because potential burglars would less likely rob homeowners with guns. "I can only hope that he changes his mind once the bill gets to his desk," Bomke said. "And I feel fairly confident it will. But it will be important that we have enough votes, a supermajority, to override his decision if he chooses to veto the bill." Rep. Jason Barickman said lawmakers have been working carefully to craft the plan. "At the end of the day, we certainly would appreciate the governor's support," Barickman said. "But with him making it clear that he opposes this right, this constitutional right, this right that a mass number of people support. I think that we just have to continue lining up our legislative votes and push forward."
Rep. Norine Hammond hopes that's enough support. "A lot of people have worked on this very hard — lots of law enforcement input," she said. "I think it is a very strong bill. And hopefully we could get it passed," she said.
In the end though, Rep. Richard Morthland said it won't matter what the governor chooses to do with the legislation if there are enough votes. "There is a last minute roll call being taken just trying to figure out where people are, and how we are doing, and do we have exactly the number of votes we need, how close are we," Morthland said. "I think it looks good. Hopefully we will be able to move it this week."[13]
Tax money taken from charities
On June 26, 2011, the News-Gazette (Champaign-Urbana, IL) reported that Quinn's Office of Management and Budget took $1.18 million from charitable donations made on Illinois tax returns to help pay the state's bills during fiscal year 2011. The money came from 11 "tax checkoff funds," financed by the contributions of Illinois taxpayers who can check off a box on their tax returns to automatically donate to one of several charities. A government spokesperson claimed the state was borrowing the money temporarily and would repay it within several months, but some of the affected charities complained the funds were being misused. Tracy Smith, executive director of Feeding Illinois, which runs a network of food banks, claimed the organization had yet to receive any tax checkoff money from the past two years of tax returns.[14]
Health care reform
The day after the United States House of Representatives narrowly passed the Senate reconciliation bill on health care reform, Democrat Governor Pat Quinn stated proudly that, unlike other states, he would not be instructing his state's top law enforcer to oppose the reform measure through litigative efforts. Instead, he added, Illinois would warmly embrace it. Though the new health care legislation would expand Medicaid, Quinn argued that he didn't "think adding participants to the Medicaid rolls would add to Illinois' deficit," which stands at $12.8 billion. [15] [16]
Lieutenant Governor of Illinois (2002-2009)
Quinn sought the office of Lieutenant Governor in 2002, and after winning the Democratic primary in March of that year, he ran together with Democratic Gubernatorial Nominee Rod Blagojevich. In Illinois, candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor run separately in the primary election, and are then joined together as a ticket in the General Election. Blagojevich and Quinn defeated Attorney General Jim Ryan and State Senator Carl Hawkinson in the general election. In the Illinois primary election in March 2006, he ran unopposed as a Democrat. In November 2006, he and Governor Rod Blagojevich won re-election to their respective offices.
Illinois State Treasurer (1991-1995)
After serving one term as State Treasurer, Quinn ran for the office of Illinois Secretary of State in 1994, losing in the general election to the incumbent (and future Governor) George H. Ryan.

Quinn ran for re-election in 2014.[17] A report released by Governing in December 2012 named him as one of five governors considered vulnerable to losing re-election in the 2013-2014 gubernatorial elections.[18]The general election took place November 4, 2014.

Quinn was elected on a ticket with Sheila Simon. The pair defeated Bill Brady/Jason Plummer (R), Rich Whitney/Don W. Crawford (G), Lex Green/Ed Rutledge (L) and Scott Lee Cohen/Baxter B. Swilley (I) in the general election on November 2, 2010.[19]
Quinn's competition in the February 2, 2010 Democratic Party primary was Illinois State Comptroller Dan Hynes.[20] After a long election night, Quinn emerged victorious over Hynes in the Democratic race. The two spoke a day or two after the vote about coming together for the November election[21].

|Louise Burr - 2013 Employee of the Year
Congratulations to Louise Burr for being named the 2013 Employee of the Year. Louise was the July 2013 Employee of the Month. Louise works in Admissions as a Patient Relations Coordinator II and has been with All Children's since 1998.
Her reference to teamwork echoed the theme of keynote speaker Dewayne Staats, longtime voice of Tampa Bay Rays telecasts, who likened the teamwork of All Children's to that of the Rays. "Everyone here tonight has contributed to making this organization a success story," he said. "You bet there's talent and great ability here. But teamwork is the catalyst that propels an organization toward excellence."
Louise was recognized most recently for her Service Excellence by nominations from a patient, parent, colleague, and visitor who wrote:
Ms. Louise is extremely personable all the time. She greets every patient and visitor she sees with a huge smile. When I see Louise she makes me feel welcomed and glad to be a patient at All Children's Hospital. Another parent said, "I often come to ACH with my daughter who is a patient. We always receive a warm and friendly smile from Louise. Even with all the stress of having a sick child Louise makes me feel happy with her nice, warm welcome, friendly smile and genuine kindness. I am very thankful to ACH for having such a wonderful employee. A visitor also noted: Louise was exceptionally helpful to me and several other people I observed.
A colleague wrote:
I see Louise's smiling face every time I enter the OCC (Outpatient Care Center) heading into their hospital. I have witnessed true concern and compassion as she helps families find their way through our many corridors and hallways. She is knowledgeable and kind. As a parent of a child with a chronic illness, we are in the OCC all the time. She has assisted me and my child numerous times with different issues. My child has said several times, 'Let's go see Ms. Louise before we leave.' Even kids know when someone is genuinely kind and friendly.
Louise's Department Director added:
As always, the nominations for Employee of the Month all say the same thing - she is helpful, caring, heartfelt in her actions with everyone she encounters, making the first step in the visit to ACH a wonderful experience. We are extremely fortunate to have her as our face of Admissions and ACH.
Louise, thank you for all you do for the patients, families, visitors and ACH staff. Congratulations for again receiving the All Children's Hospital Employee of the Year honors.

This is a public service message for a town mired in a prolonged sports slump.
Kris Bryant is must-see.
USD baseball coach Rich Hill has been asked so often to talk about his junior third baseman that he's run out of descriptions.
"You start using these adjectives about Kris as a person and a player," Hill said. "They're all off the charts."
And they come short of doing the full job. So Hill explains to the waves of questioners: "You actually have to see the kid play."
I did just that.
Rode the Toreros bus up to Cal State Northridge on Tuesday. Watched Bryant go 0-for-5 in an 8-4 loss.
All in all, could hardly have been more impressed had Bryant gone 5-for-5.
Save for one strikeout, his outs were scalding. His fearless ability to use every strike allowed was on display in every at-bat.
At 6-feet-5 and 215 pounds, he can, as they say, grow into his body. When he runs between innings, he is all arms and legs, like a baby giraffe. Yet he played right field with a grace that was practically a virtue. And he runs the bases well enough to have five stolen bases (in six attempts), eight doubles and a triple to go along with his national-best 12 home runs.
O-fers happen in baseball. There hasn't been a hitter at any level who doesn't know that many times over.
Dejected might not be strong enough of a word to describe Bryant during the first part of the trip home Tuesday. A couple of hours later, he said, "It happens. I figured it would as some point. I've been going pretty good."
Yeah, true.
You know what doesn't happen too often? A stretch Bryant has been rocking that makes "The Natural" look underwritten.
Among the feats by Bryant those who saw it will be recounting for years is a home run against Saint Louis on March 9 that may or may not have cleared a light standard beyond Fowler Park's left-field fence.
"It grows every time it's told," he said. "It was just so high, so deep. It disappeared into the night."
That's the stuff that spawns legends.
It was just the start.
Three home runs in a March 14 game against Brigham Young, including a walk-off shot to left field, was followed two nights later by another walk-off homer in the 14th inning.
Hill says, "I don't like to compare."
But then he makes this comparison regarding Bryant: "Jayson Werth, Troy Glaus, Pat Burrell. Three of those guys wrapped into one."
Hill didn't just pull those names from his brain's ether. The major league scouts whose livelihoods depend on getting it right when assessing college players have used those names in describing Bryant. The comparison is mainly to Werth's speed and arm, to Glaus and Burrell's power.
Over the 14 games that led into this weekend's home series with second-ranked Oregon State, Bryant batted .449 with six home runs, 20 runs scored and 17 RBI. He was walked 18 times in that span.
