Illinois' 18th Congressional District elections, 2012
2014 →
November 6, 2012
March 20, 2012
Aaron Schock
Aaron Schock
Incumbent Aaron Schock won the election.[1]
|Candidate Filing Deadline
|Primary Election
|General Election
Primary: Illinois has a mixed-hybrid primary system. 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.
Voter registration: Voters had to register to vote in the primary by February 21. For the general election, the voter registration deadline was October 9. A "grace period" is also available, allowing voter registration until three days before an election.[2][3]
- See also: Illinois elections, 2012
Incumbent: Heading into the election the incumbent was Aaron Schock (R), who was first elected in 2008.
This was the first election using new district maps based on 2010 Census data. Illinois' 18th congressional district covers central and western Illinois, including Hancock, McDonough, Adams, Pike, Brown, Schuyler, Scott, Cass, Mason, Menard, Sangamon, Logan, Tazewell, McLean, Woodford, Marshall, Stark and Peoria counties.[4]
Note: Election results were added on election night as races were called. Vote totals were added after official election results had been certified. For more information about Ballotpedia's election coverage plan, click here. If you find any errors in this list, please email: Geoff Pallay.

Impact of redistricting
- See also: Redistricting in Illinois
With the 2011 redistricting, Illinois lost 1 of its current 19 House seats because the state's population failed to grow as fast as in other states.[9] Illinois has had 11 Republican congressmen and 8 Democrats since the November 2010 election.[9] The new map, designed by the dominant Democrats, could flip that advantage to as many as 12 Democrats and only six Republicans.[9]
The new 18th district is composed of the following percentages of voters of the old congressional districts.[10][11]
- 4 percent from the 11th congressional district
- 11 percent from the 15th congressional district
- 15 percent from the 17th congressional district
- 64 percent from the 18th congressional district
- 5 percent from the 19th congressional district
District partisanship
FairVote's Monopoly Politics 2012 study
- See also: FairVote's Monopoly Politics 2012
In 2012, FairVote did a study on partisanship in the congressional districts, giving each a percentage ranking (D/R) based on the new 2012 maps and comparing that to the old 2010 maps. Illinois' 18th District became more Republican because of redistricting.[12]
Cook Political Report's PVI
In 2012, Cook Political Report released its updated figures on the Partisan Voter Index, which measures each congressional district's partisanship relative to the rest of the country. Illinois' 18th congressional district has a PVI of R+10, which is the 110th most Republican district in the country. In 2008, this district was won by John McCain (R), 55-45 percent over Barack Obama (D). In 2004, George W. Bush won the district 63-37 percent over John Kerry (D).[13]
District history
On November 2, 2010, Aaron Schock won re-election to the United States House of Representatives. He defeated Deirdre "D.K." Hirner (D) and Sheldon Schafer (G) in the general election.[14]

Saving the Palace Theatre, top of Bourke St
There is such a battle underway in the city of Melbourne. The battle to save the Palace. Let's hope it's not too late. Photo of interiors removed in November just before a heritage report on them to the City of Melbourne recommended their protection, taken by Jessica Adams of Australian Music Museum Project (AMMP) Here's a story I co-wrote in the Age with Aisha Dow on the issue, and the history of the Palace Theatre site, stretching back to the Gold Rush and 1954.

Rock Country
Being included in a great big brick of a book called Rock Country is a turn-on. One thing I love is a good editor, and Christian Ryan goes the extra kilometre. My story is about Michael Hutchence, Ollie Olsen, Max Q... and was Michael happy? Some of my favourite pieces are Clinton Walker on Barry Gibb, Jeff Jenkins on early Ian 'Molly' Meldrum and... well most of them. And then there's the photos, oh God the photos. There's never been such a wild and ambitious compendium on Australian music history. So do yourself a Molly, and buy someone one for Christmas.

Happy birthday Bobby Kennedy
Happy birthday Robert F. Kennedy. You would have been 87. "Few will have the greatness to bend history; but each of us can work to change a small portion of the events, and in the total of all these acts will be written the history of this generation...It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is thus shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." Day of Affirmation Address, University of Capetown, South Africa, June 6, 1966.

Hey sports fans, One of the things I have the pleasure of doing from time to time, outside of journalism and teaching and of course my own writing, is writing stuff for other people. This can be really fun, like '... in-depth liner notes'(with David Laing trading licks in spots) of double CD Boogie! , 'by Jen Jewel Brown who, as Jenny Brown and Jenny Hunter Brown, was one of the most incisive Australian rock critics of the day.' Thanks guys, but 'of the day!' I aint dead yet! But it was really great to be able to talk about this sizzling double CD of Australian gems, 'compiled by David Laing, who anthologised Australian garage rock of the punk-era and beyond with the acclaimed Do The Pop! compilation some years ago.' The set includes gem-like relative obscurantis like Buffalo, Kahvas Jute and Band of Light as well as the more recognised Stevie Wright, Daddy Cool, the Hooks, Sports, Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons and so much more. Pop-up appearances by me, including on ABC radio; both 774 (with sporty ex-Novocastrian Lindy Burns)and RN in The Drawing Room with Mr Ubiquitous Waleed Aly and my great value ex-housemate Ross Wilson. The hot pressing and fabbo Ian McCausland cover package booklet of Boogie! make it a unique class act. More, Warners, more! Glad it's selling well for you. Cool Baby Boomers Xmas gift for sure. And right along track with my aim of seeking to have us remember our great arts creators from times past in my ongoing Australian Arts Living Museum Project...

LIVING MUSIC SHOWCASE: CHOICE AS 'Raw, real and beautiful…'' 'Out there talent.' 'Brilliant collaboration. 'Authenticity.' - Audience comments from last year's Living Music show 'No Place Like Home' * HIGHLY COMMENDED Melbourne Fringe Festival Awards 2011* REVOLT - 12 Elizabeth St Kensington - Melbourne Fringe Venue of the Year 2011 27-28 September – (Thurs 27 Sept 6pm & Fri 28 Sept 3pm & 6pm) Living Music Showcase: Choice As is an original Fringe debut that mashes up music, multimedia and theatre, written and performed by participants as young as fourteen. Many of them have been facing family violence, uncertain housing and youth detention. Some songs were actually written inside Victorian Youth Justice Centres Malmsbury and Parkville Precinct. Last year, Living Music's show won a Highly Commended Music gong at Fringe, and 2012's Choice As is sounding just as impressive. Come witness how even the hardest road can rise, with music, in one of the three Living Music Showcase: Choice As shows at REVOLT in Kensington 27-28 September.
Living Music's highly effective youth mentorship program has been operating since 1999 under artistic director Andrew McSweeney, himself a singer/songwriter/producer. Mentors like indie hip hop producer Julez (discovered byTriple J's Unearthed in 2008) help fledgling artists build confidence and see new possibilities through self-expression, enterprise, teamwork and accomplishment. The standard is high. McSweeney and a range of other muso mentors like Pete Satchell (Dallas Crane), Thomas Butt and MC Pat Marks (Pataphysics) have helped nurture great songs from Living Music Showcase: Choice As contributors like nineteen year old Big Bear, whose 'Back Then' - so honest it shocks - is moving and melodic with its straying piano, strings and beats. Lil Darcy's audacious 'One In 7 Billion' (featuring Toxman and Julez) throws up lyrics like 'shark's meat', 'fresh allegations' and 'voice box is under persuasion' over organ grinder keyboards and loping horns. There's a big slice of Islander R&B from various participants; stories that reach out with humour, honesty and verve. Living Music Showcase: Choice As also features film and projections, with participants in the thick of it, getting skilled-up. Fourteen-year-old Lil Darcy: 'When I was in Parkville [Youth Justice Precinct], which is like a boys' home, they gave me the number for Living Music. It's a good program. I'm pretty pleased with my producer Julez; he's the best.' Other mentors working on Living Music Showcase: Choice As include writers Simon McSweeney and Rebecca Lister, Dan Ryan kicking in with film and visual arts, and movement expert Dominique Miller.

RIP ANDREW McMILLAN - Writer committed to life in Top End
ANDREW McMILLAN AUSTRALIAN WRITER 29-12-1957 - 28-01-2012. Just realised I hadn't put the obituary I had the honour of writing for author, journo and mate Andrew McMillan up here. So here t'is ... From the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. ANDREW McMillan, lanky, soft-spoken author of five published non-fiction books crucial to Australia's history, has died peacefully at home with friends in Darwin. He was 54. The evening of his death was the first day he hadn't been able to get out of bed to enjoy the tropical breeze on the patio of ''the hacienda'', as he called it, at Darwin's Marrakai apartments. After his terminal cancer diagnosis in February 2011, McMillan adopted a ''party on'' palliative approach as a stream of local and fly-in friends came to visit, sharing drinks and stories. Among them were the musicians Paul Kelly, Ed Kuepper (the Saints), federal Education Minister and former Midnight Oil singer Peter Garrett, Rob Hirst (also Midnight Oil) and Don Walker (Cold Chisel). As a RAM (Rock Australia Magazine) reporter from age 17 and a widely published freelancer, McMillan had been instrumental in all these careers. His patient, ironic openness and probing eye had made them lifelong friends. An only child, Andrew McMillan was born in Melbourne with a hare lip and cleft palate. He moved with his parents, John (a public servant ) and Lorna McMillan (a former nursing sister) to Brisbane at three. He attended Oakleigh State School and later Brisbane Grammar, where he was bullied over his appearance. A shy boy speaking in a near whisper with a lisp, he underwent repeated bouts of lip and palate surgery into his early teens. McMillan discovered seminal punk band the Saints in Brisbane, selling two stories about them to Britain's influential Sounds in 1976. Joining the RAM staff in July 1977, he moved to Sydney. There he helped break unashamedly Australian bands like Cold Chisel and Midnight Oil, who sang with political awareness about ordinary Australian lives, in the suburbs, by the shores, in the country towns and outback lands. He hitch-hiked all over the mainland.There were important relationships in Sydney and 'a subsequent roll-call of steamy liaisons in Darwin and beyond', but no children. Influenced by New Journalism and the subjective, gonzo techniques of Hunter S. Thompson and Tom Wolfe, the young McMillan reported the youth-rally-like reception in the pubs for the Angels, Radio Birdman and others from the late '70s through the '80s. His reportage from the road with Warumpi Band and Midnight Oil reflected his shock at conditions in the interior, leading to his first book, Strict Rules (1988). That year he paddled 300 kilometres of the flooding Darling River in New South Wales and moved to Darwin, ramping up a lifelong engagement with indigenous music and affairs. McMillan's quiet ability to listen, watch and simply report the complex truth from the inside, earned him respect. He became media liaison officer for Yothu Yindi's Garma Festival. In January 1990 he visited East Timor for a holiday gone wrong, finding himself soon testifying at the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva about mass killings of pro-independence demonstrators and starting a second book (Death in Dili, 1992). His following books include the beautiful story of our incredible flying boats in World War II, Catalina Dreaming (2002), Tiwi Footy (2008) and An Intruder's Guide to East Arnhem Land (2001), the 2009 reprint of which won the inaugural NT Chief Minister's Book of the Year. An award-winning poet, he earned songwriting royalties from songs co-written with Kitto and Neil Murray. McMillan had been living in Darwin at ''the bunker'', a flood-prone bolt-hole where he sweated over manuscripts now archived with the NT Library. Alas, the place offered poor sanctuary from the wet season for a previously bushie-tough, now frail fellow riddled with liver and bowel cancer. In support, his friends organised a benefit and art auction, raising $20,000 to install him at the more comfortable Marrakai for Christmas 2010. McMillan, meanwhile, worked steadily. He oversaw a theatre adaptation of An Intruder's Guide to East Arnhem Land and followed roads and dirt tracks inland with friends, deep into the Northern Territory country that was so precious to him. There he selected a last resting place beside a remote billabong at Larrimah. McMillan is survived by his mother, Lorna, and his extended family. He outlived his prognosis by four months, completing in that time an EP of music and spoken word for Laughing Outlaw Records, and a sixth book, a compilation of his journalism. Both will be released posthumously. The author's estate and royalties now go to the McMillan Fund, administered by the NT Writers Centre. The author is a Melbourne writer and ex-RAM colleague of McMillan's. Jen Jewel Brown February 07, 2012

A Lisa Bellear-shaped hole in the universe
Warning image and name of a deceased person .... Vale Lisa Bellear. Photo: Antoinette Braybrook May 2 was the birthday of black poet and razzle dazzle woman, photographic historian, teacher, agitator, comedienne, writer,out lesbian ... and instigator and co-writer (with John Harding and Gary Foley) of the amazing street theatre work The Dirty Mile, staged at various times by Ilbijerri Theatre Company in and around Gertrude Street Fitzroy. She was a friend of mine and like thousands more, I miss her. She died far too early unexpectedly in bed in her sleep at 45. The other day I found something I wrote about her and thought I'd put it up here... Title also links to an obituary I wrote just after she died (July 6 2006). 'I only met Lisa Bellear a few brief years before she died. She featured at a gig I ran for Overload Poetry festival at St Kilda's Linden Gallery, which had previously exhibited her photography. There were two great things about this. One, I got to drive car-less Lisa from her home in the People's Republic of Moreland (Brunswick) to the gig, and get to know her, and two, she was very good. She had a nose for tokenism balanced by an appetite for poetry and performance. Her presence was warm, with bear-like qualities - both cuddly and terrifying at the same time. A mate of hers called her 'the general' and I could get with that - you know, if you were lacklustre with words she would be onto it like a dingo onto a pizzly wether (sick sheep), cutting out the crap. She'd tell you the blackfella point of view and a bit of the history, and you'd know the scars were still a bit raw. Then she'd crack a wicked take on it and raw would become roar - she'd be a woman laughing with another woman in a little car cutting across the Yarra on the way back home after a gig.'

JL Obit, The Age 10.4.12
1-3-1937 - 2-4-2012
By JEN JEWEL BROWN
JIMMY "Gentleman Jim" Little, Australia's first indigenous top 10 recording artist, has died in his sleep at his home in Dubbo, aged 75. His doctor suspected heart failure, following years of ill health caused by diabetes and kidney failure that led to an organ transplant in 2004.
After living for years in Sydney's industrial Lilyfield, Little had retired to live in Dubbo in the house he'd always wanted for his family, with lemon and orange trees he'd dreamed of out the back.
Trees were important to the singer-songwriter and his wife, Marjorie-Rose (nee Peters), who had picked the Dubbo house because of its tree-lined street. Sadly, she died just two weeks before their 55th anniversary last July.
The charming, mellifluous-voiced man of faith who would scale musical heights over seven decades, was born under a tree, to his mother Frances (nee McGee) and father James Edward "Kunkas" Little, near the Dhungala (Murray River) at Cumeragunja Station. He was a descendant and elder of the Yorta Yorta and the Yuin/Monaro peoples.
His first crib was a suitcase. The family hut was made of hessian bags, mud and newspaper. "The best way to describe it," Little said, "was highly flammable." His family followed the river and work, picking fruit, singing and playing with the Wallaga Gumleaf Band and at indigenous vaudeville shows.
At 18 months, first-born Little joined his parents and hundreds of others in the 1939 Cumeragunja Walk-Off, the first Aboriginal strike in history, over draconian conditions imposed by the Aborigines Protection Board. Disease was prevalent. Two of Little's six siblings died from tuberculosis. His mother also died, suddenly, of tetanus from a cut by an oyster shell.
Little was 13 years old and Auntie Jane helped care for the remaining five kids to stop the Aborigines Welfare Board taking them away. He attended "Cumera" Aboriginal School, Terara Public School in Nowra and Maruya Catholic School, but left at 15 and found work at a cordial factory in Nowra.
At age 16, he jumped on the back of a Sydney-bound truck to enter Australia's Amateur Hour radio talent show on radio 2GB, coming second. He formed the Continental Duo, and then the Jimmy Little Trio; the group did the town hall circuit, dances and concerts with an all-indigenous line-up.
At age 17, he met Marjorie-Rose at a barn dance, and after a three-year courtship he produced a ring but was too scared to pop the question; "Marje" just slipped it on her finger. Later, strapped for cash, he sold his beloved guitar to pay for the wedding dress.
The couple shared a house at the top of notorious Eveleigh Street in Redfern, Sydney, and their only child, historian and filmmaker Frances Claire Peters-Little, was born when he was 20. Later, when Frances became a single mother to James Henry (now a musician and performer), she said Marje told her "We'll all raise him" so the three of them did, and her father became "a loving father to my son".
Little signed a contract with EMI in 1956, and in 1963, after 17 singles, his sweetly arranged Royal Telephone hit No.1 in Sydney for Festival Records and notched triple gold.
But for some Aboriginal radicals, Little was too quiet in terms of speaking out on issues affecting indigenous people. Yet he was genuinely kind. "Don't let the gentlemanly side fool you," Frances said. "He was sharp as a blade. He knew what he wanted and he did it by shaking your hand."
Little had worked with outback indigenous charity since before the 1972 Tent Embassy in Canberra, spoken out for Aboriginal self-management, and helped Charles Perkins on the Freedom Rides, collecting evidence of unofficial apartheid in country Australia such as when the Mooree Spa Baths refused him entry on racial grounds. Ever constant was his soothing music, and not surprisingly, the public voted him 1964's Australian Pop Star of the Year in Everybody's magazine.
The crooner continued to weave his magic, extending to his versions of tracks recorded by other Australians, such as the 1999 Messenger album, which went gold. Another of his reinventions was Resonate in 2001.
Little was also active in "giving back" to his community. In his final months, he cheered the arrival of the Big Purple Truck, to provide mobile renal dialysis to Central Desert communities through partnerships with his not-for-profit Jimmy Little Foundation. He had also worked with far-flung communities since 2006 in teaching healthy eating through the "Thumbs Up" initiative, assisted by his long-term manager and drummer, Buzz Bidstrup.
Little, who was declared a National Living Treasure in 2004, was also awarded three honorary doctorates by Australian universities, and honoured at the Mo Awards, the ARIAs, the Deadlys and elsewhere, and appeared in films, plays and operas.
He was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia in 2004 "for service to the entertainment industry as a singer, recording artist and songwriter and to the community through reconciliation and as an ambassador for indigenous culture".
Elders are bringing sand from Little's birthplace to be buried with him at Walgett, where he will lie with his wife, Marjorie. A small private service tomorrow will be followed by a state memorial service at the Sydney Opera House.
Little is survived by his daughter, Frances, his niece, opera soprano Deborah Cheetham (who wrote Pecan Summer about the Cumeragunja Walk-Off before she realised her parents had been involved), and extended family.
His grandson, James Henry, is performing at the Malthouse in Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word until April 14.

Thank you Jimmy Little
Dr Jimmy Little AO was buried today at Walgett with his sweetheart Marjorie and some sands from his Cumeragunja birthlands. When I have a link to the obituary I wrote for him in The Age I will post it. Thanks you Jimmy for showing us that louder wasn't better, that exquisite expression wasn't just for poets, that love was the ultimate message from the kindest messenger we could hope for. Your versions of songs rewrite them. You built sturdy bridges made for every colour of feet. Vale.

Paper Trail
Ah yes, the Planeteers (or some of them - Pepperell missed out this time) by Planet/The Digger/Rolling Stone Australia art director Ian McCausland. Far too flattering of me! But captures the vibe superbly.
The ABC RN Hindsight doco Paper Trail is now up on the websiste. Link is on the title above here. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did the making. What a blast getting to do this! And a wonderful opportunity to remember those days and the great papers. Apologies to those who contributed so much, like Colin Talbot, especially as early go-to administrator at The Digger for instance, Jan Flett at Planet and Greg Taylor at RAM, who due to time constraints have not been painted into this limited portrait. More images on the website/podcast.

Bit sad, bit glad ... Seems I've finished Paper Trail, the Hindsight program I've been working on part-time for a while now. Features .Daily Planet, Planet, The Digger, Nation Review and RAM.
And Andrew McMillan, Michael Leunig, Germaine Greer, Mungo MacCallum, Richard Walsh, David N. Pepperell, Virginia Fraser, Terry Cleary, Alistair Jones, Anthony O'Grady, Phillip Frazer and more and more ... I feel overwhelmed. At last I cried for Andrew -RIP. Will let you know when the program is going to air.

2012 was the first New Year I woke to where both my kids were staying off elsewhere, separately doing their own things with their own friends at their own parties. It was a bountiful eve, driving Sienna up into the tangling hills of Research, hairpin bends writhing like a a cut snake, moon a cantelope slice hanging fat near the horizon in the warm air, pygmy possum eyes glowing overhead as we climbed and climbed and I left her at a high stone gate with friends and wound back down and home to absolute peace and solitude. Just loved it. In the afternoon of 1/1/12 went over to my lover's and we spent a sensational day partying, dancing, singing and whatnot ... Lots of whatnot. A very happy 2012 to all of you.

stealing away ... For Steve Prestwich
Death doesn't mess around ... Except when it does. Age's sombre march can have many mis-steps. Lost two old friends recently, both in their 50s. Harvey James's loss we saw coming, his lung cancer spreading. Steve Prestwich's second, fatal bout with a brain tumour came out of left field.
Writing obituaries is an honour and a fierce challenge. You deal with the fresh grief of those closest. There's often family dischord, and people are angry and easily upset. Yet with luck the tribute stays up on the net for people to read from anywhere, for a long time. Like a vitual headstone in space. It's an important memorial to read about the marks artists make on the wall of life.
Artists can get too easily forgotten in this country, in my opinion. Vale.

ROCKINGHAM — A volunteer firefighter is accused of buying more than $500 in gas for his personal vehicle on a department gas card, according to Richmond County sheriff's deputies.
Michael Ryan Sweatland, 29, of Wheeler Lane in Hamlet, was arrested Thursday and charged with five counts each of obtaining property by false pretenses and financial card fraud and one count of financial card theft.
Warrants show that Sweatland, a volunteer with the East Rockingham Fire Department, racked up $248.27 at the Murphy's gas station in Rockingham between Jan. 26 and June 17.
Fire Chief Mitchell Watson said Sweatland also purchased as at Hess stations in Rockingham and Hamlet and said additional charges will be filed.
Watson said each truck in the fleet has a gas card and each fireman has a four-digit identification number to use when filling up the trucks.
He said records show details including when and where fuel was purchased, the number of gallons, the cost and the type of fuel — unleaded or diesel.
The chief said when officials noticed that one of the cards was missing, he began looking into the accounts and found unexplained purchases.
"It took a little time to catch on to the pattern," he said. "When he took the card, the frequency (of the purchases) increased and it was easier to put it together."
Watson said the truck that the card was assigned to, which has a 25-gallon tank, had only been driven 166 miles in a two-month period. In that time, Sweatland had bought 178 gallons of gas, including two purchases in the same day.
In all, Watson sayid Sweatland bought 423.04 gallons of gas.
Watson said Sweatland was also buying fuel using another firefighter's identification number. The chief said he originally confronted that fireman and had suspended him pending an investigation. That fireman has since been cleared of accusations and reinstated.
The chief said when confronted, Sweatland denied the accusations. Watson said he has video evidence of Sweatland filling up at the Murphy station.
"This is totally unacceptable," Watson said. "We will continue to be good stewards of our taxpayers' money."
Sweatland started at the department as a junior firefighter when he was a teenager and became a senior fireman when he turned 18, according to Watson.
The chief said there is a fund set up to assist firefighters with financial issues.
Watson said if Sweatland needed help, "all he had to do was come to us. We could have helped him out." He went on to describe how the department already has.
He said the department gave Sweatland money to go toward books and commuting costs for firefighter training in Cabarrus County. Watson added that money was also given to Sweatland's mother when the young firefighter was in the hospital at Chapel Hill.
Watson said that money used for scholarships is raised by firefighters and does not come from taxpayer funds.
"We've bent over backward for this guy," he said.
Sweatland has been dismissed from the East Rockingham Fire Department and has no access to the station, according to Watson.
The chief said he has not had any contact with Sweatland recently, but added the former fireman still has gear that belongs to the station.
Sweatland was released from the Richmond County Jail on a $2,500 secured bond.

Filipino jobseekers eyeing Lebanon warned about human traffickers
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines–The Bureau of Immigration on Thursday warned Filipinos eyeing employment in Lebanon to be wary of human traffickers after the agency caught five human trafficking victims on their way there.
Immigration Commissioner Ricardo David Jr. said prospective overseas Filipino workers should be on their guard after his men caught five Filipino women bound for Beirut, Lebanon.
The ban on new OFWs going to Lebanon remains in place and the Department of Labor and Employment only allows returning OFWs, or those who already have jobs there, to go to that country.
Lawyer Ma. Antonette Mangrobang, BI acting intelligence chief, said the five women were intercepted at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport on last Dec. 28 as they were about to board a Thai Airways flight to Bangkok.
Mangrobang said the passengers were invited for secondary inspection after they were assessed as "suspected tourist workers" by members of the BI travel control and enforcement unit at the airport.
She said their names were not divulged as the Anti-human Trafficking Act prohibits the public disclosure of identities of human trafficking victims.
"They admitted during questioning that their trip to Bangkok was just a diversion as their final destination is Beirut," Mangrobang said.
The women reportedly admitted that they have relatives in Lebanon and that they would work there as domestic helpers, chamber maids and baby sitters.

It probably doesn't need to be mentioned, but heaving-to is a useful tactic in many situations. It's not just a storm tactic. Some folks have mentioned heaving-to while waiting for the sun to come up to enter a harbor.
I use it all the time to stop for lunch if I have room, rather than anchor.
If we get a fish on, I'll heave-to.
In less than storm tactics, I'll always furl the genoa to the point that it doesn't rest on the spreaders or shrouds before I heave-to
It is my preferred method for taking in or shaking out reefs on the mainsail.
especially single-handed. Even with a crew, it's less stressful to simply heave-to to take a reef.
In heavy weather, it would seem logical that, at the point that you decide to heave-to, you already have at least a double reefed main or a storm tri-sail rigged and a storm jib. Unless it is a quick passing squall. In which case, I douse the jib...and employ the use of the engine with a deeply reefed main to keep me headed to wind.
Having the Storm -tri and the storm jib bagged an on deck ready to deploy, and then deploying them sooner rather than later is wise. I remember waiting too long , and watching a crew member get dunked several times up to his waist at the bow in the gulf stream..( at least the water was warm)
I like the tactic, and use it all the time...Never had to use it in a storm, came close only once.

HILLSBORO, Ore. -- A Hillsboro family has a K-9 to thank after the Washington County sheriff's police dog found their missing 8-year-old autistic boy.
Deputy Daniel DiPietro and his K-9, Maverick, were called Sunday evening to look for the boy, who was reported missing by his family in the Cedar Hills neighborhood.
They found him wet and shivering in the middle of a swift-moving creek and got him out safely. The boy had no serious injuries and was able to return home to his parents.
Emergency responders said it's likely the boy may not have survived if Maverick hadn't found him so quickly.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
"Iraq ain't looking so good," sneers indie rapper Sole on his latest album, "but this motherfucking club is crunk." That's second-from-the-top-shelf sarcasm, but as Sole knows, not even the soggiest wet blanket can extinguish the mighty blaze of a sufficiently crunk nightspot. The Perceptionists' Black Dialogue seems to modify Sole's quip with one crucial conjunction exchange: Iraq ain't looking so good and this motherfucking club is crunk. Put another way, Black Dialogue is a leftist party record: alarmed but not paranoid, disgusted but not defeated, convinced that radicals are born on the dance floor and thus never guilty about composing love raps and having a good time.
The Perceptionists are DJ Fakts One and Boston-bred MCs Akrobatic, straightforward and spirited, and Mr. Lif, bohemian and laid-back like Q-Tip or Guru, who makes a guest appearance on "Party Hard," which could party harder. (Humpty Hump also does a walk-on, adding his sophisticated goofiness to the "Sex Packets"-like groove of "Career Finders.") Akrobatic rhymes with the confidence of a man who could almost certainly take you out but has better things to do. He's a born storyteller with a novelist's eye for detail. His crush in "Love Letters," for instance, isn't just any schoolteacher--she teaches his friend's son, who's a second-grader, and when the MC meets her, she's not just working, she's preparing face-paint and fried-dough activities. Also, she has a fine ass, which too is important, though the word "ass" is respectfully avoided ("And all of this before I peeped the gluteus/Maximum anxiety, played the shy role/Gave you a 'hello' and a subtle eye roll"). Akrobatic's only real misstep is his verse from the album closing "Breath in the Sun," in which he goes on about a two-month tropical vacation on an album otherwise tied to working-class realism.
Mr. Lif, whose funny and trenchant 2002 concept album I Phantom is a must-have like socks in winter, calmly issues sheets of internal rhymes and atypical metaphors ("Hard tracks remind me of blacks with scarred backs/These are facts drownin' in the swamp like Artax/Bost to Fairfax, chill, watch Miramax flicks.") I like that, though Miramax can be dicey. The two MCs either trade lines or verses, playing off each other with we've-been-friends-forever bonhomie and making good on the album's title by offering two takes on twelve take-worthy subjects. "Memorial Day" presents a pair of American soldiers using their disillusion in Iraq; "Black Dialogue," given a rubbery beat by Willie Evans Jr., smacks down corporate-rap and mass-cult minstrelsy ("And my TV's always off, 'cause I see somethin' truly black then").
Sometimes, though, the Perceptionists just rhyme about rhymin', and there's no shame in that. "Me and Mr. Lif back-to-back for the past decade," raps Akrobatic on the grimy, EL-P-produced "Bló," "Now we're movin' on to the next phase/New album, world tour, let's get paid." Yeah, go for it.

The Slayer has arrived at home but I'm out of town (for another day) because my wife is in the hospital recovering from surgery.
What should I do to enhance my "out-of-the-box" experience? I have been reading what I can about the car and sucking it all in hoping some of it retained in this old "hard-drive", any suggestions on what to do or read?
My experience is limited to bashing with a 1/10th 2wd electric and flying medium size R/C fixed wing aircraft (crashed my limit this year). I miss the nitro sound and smell and decided to go Nitro 4wd for "ground flying". Watch out trees!
Thank you in advance from the "4-wheel Radio~Flyer".

Learn to use Visual Studio, Visual Studio Online, Application Insights and Team Foundation Server to decrease rework, increase transparency into your application and increase the rate at which you can ship high quality software throughout the application lifecycle
Note: This is draft documentation for the Team Foundation Server SP1 Beta. The contents of this article should not be considered as final. All feedback is welcome.
The Work Item Tracking Custom Controls mechanism provides a standard way to enhance T:Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.WorkItems to include enhanced user-interface capabilities, extended event-based rules, and workflow capabilities. These custom controls can be bound to T:Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.Fields within T:Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.WorkItems. These custom controls enable users to view and edit data.
The Work Item Tracking Custom Controls are intended to enable the following capabilities:
· Allow the use of new or existing Windows Form controls. This includes ActiveX controls wrapped as a Windows Form control.
· Place controls on a T:Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.WorkItem Form using design layout constraints.
· Allow a Control to be read and to write to a T:Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.WorkItem or T:Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.WorkItem T:Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.Field.
· Allow a Control to read and write from external data sources.
There are some restrictions for custom controls.
· Multiple value fields are not directly supported. The use of a single field value as a holder of multiple values makes querying very difficult to do reliably.
· Attachments do not have an update capability. The use of Custom Controls cannot overcome this limitation.
· The existing controls are not public and therefore cannot be extended.
· The binaries for each custom control must be installed on the client computer. There is no requirement for Admin rights to install custom control binaries.
· There is no provisioning system for custom control binaries in Visual Studio. Visual Studio assumes the binaries are already installed on the client computer.
· Custom controls that are missing or are not configured correctly must not cause the client to crash. They must also provide enough information to troubleshoot the problem.
Custom Controls have the following rules:
· They must derive from the T:System.Windows.Forms.Control class
· They must have a no-argument constructor
· They must implement the T:Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Controls.IWorkItemControl interface
As an option, they can implement the following interfaces:
In the Work Item Type definition Layout, each Control element has a Type attribute. The schema previously identified the following valid control types:
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="FieldControl" />
<xs:enumeration value="DateTimeControl" />
<xs:enumeration value="HtmlFieldControl" />
<xs:enumeration value="LinksControl" />
<xs:enumeration value="AttachmentsControl" />
<xs:enumeration value="WorkItemClassificationControl" />
<xs:enumeration value="WorkItemLogControl" />
This has been replaced with:
This allows any name to be used. The built-in Types are still permitted. However, the use of a Type that does not match a built-in Type will infer the use of a Custom Control. This reference must not be to a specific DLL or Control. The reference is used as a name to look up an assembly manifest file on the client. For more information on assembly manifests see the topic, Assembly Manifests, on MSDN (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=74355).
<Control Type="WorkItemIdReference" FieldName="MyFields.DuplicateId" Label="&Duplicate Id:" LabelPosition="Left" />
Use the value for the Control Type to identify the Work Item Custom Control (WICC) manifest file. The WICC file uses a naming convention of <Control Type>.wicc. It is located on the client computer in the following search path:
User-specific Path
Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData folder
All Users
This manifest contains the following information:
· Assembly
· FullClassName
Here is an example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<CustomControl xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
Use the Assembly element to locate and load the assembly. This value can be either the relative path of the location of the assembly file or the absolute path of the location of the assembly file.
· If you cannot find the control, or if some other error occurs, you will see a red, read-only error message. This message is substituted for the control itself.
· Custom validation rules cannot be enforced in other client environments, such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Project. Use these rules carefully.
· Validation rules cause the existing controls to change color when they are invalid. The colors are not customizable. Therefore, new controls should use standard colors to remain consistent.
· The Work Item Object Model is updated on every change to a control. Custom control implementations must set the dirty flag correctly in the Object Model so that changes in the custom control will be saved.
FYI: Here is link with sample and step-by-step instructions on custom control building: http://blogs.msdn.com/narend/archive/2006/10/02/How-to-use-Custom-Controls-in-Work-Item-Form.aspx
How can i set the workitem Dirty from my custom control.
Can you post code snippets about this issue.
thanks a lot.
How is it possible to update the WIT schema to match the 'new' schema described above? The WIT importer seems to choke if I use a custom control type. Where is this schema stored?

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
On the 50 Yard Line of the World famous Las Vegas Strip, surrounded by multi – million dollar condominiums. Situated between City Center (one of the USA's most talked about projects, visually amazing)| and the world famous Bellagio (one of the most elegant properties on the strip. And home of the famous water show which is pictured above. Across the street is Paris, Planet Hollywood and Bally's.
The 1 bdm condo has a king bed in the Master Bdm, bathroom. There is a door for the bedroom, although it does not show up in the pictures
and a queen sized pull out couch in the living room. The kitchen is fully stocked and all linens are included.
every thing you should need is here.
The Jockey Club has a library for Books, DVD movies, games, which you can check out free using your room key.
This 1 bdm condo have been recently renovated, and now include flat screen tvs.
*guests of the Jockey Club now have access to some of the amenities of the Cosmopolitin including the pool (cabanas, bar, tables and chairs), tennis courts, and full gym.*
**the Jockey Club has been giving a facelift to incorporate it into the Cosmo and City Center**
Came across this website through a friend. I asked for a quote on a 3night stay for 3 people, Mark Simon was quick on replying and giving all the info and tips I needed prior to my stay. I paid through PayPal which makes the whole deal a lot safer being that I had never dealt with this website before. But Wow once we got to the hotel it was better than we expected since the price was such a good deal, this place is huge!!! King size bed with a couch then the living room has a pull out couch so many blankets and other amenities provided,has a kitchen a little dining area 2tv's,a radio, AC works perfect and best of all its like literally a minute walking distance to the cosmopolitan. I will definitely be coming back again. Thanks Mark Simon for your wonderful service.
Five stars for location, comfort, cleanliness and friendly customer service (at every touch point). Will definitely recommend this unit to friends and stay here again on our next trip to Vegas. Only drawback was that the internet did not work in our room but who really wants to be on a computer on vacation anyway; plus there is a computer and printer available in their hospitality room. Can't say enough about the very friendly and helpful staff throughout the facility - including Mark's very efficient and thorough service before our trip! Besides the unit being very large and comfortable with a great view of the strip if you're lucky to be on the 11th floor on the north side ... the location is EXCELLENT!!! Connected by an elevator to the Cosmo and just steps across the street to Planet Hollywood & Miracle Mile Shops; plus pretty much dead-center in the middle of the strip so an easy walk either direction to the other casinos. Best tips I'd share from this trip are the cheap full breakfast restaurants at Miracle Mile Shops ($3.99 to $5.99 at Ocean One, Salsa Cantina, and Cheeseburger) and the food & drink deals during happy hours along the strip (our favorites - Margaritaville by Flamingo (be sure to look for seats at the bar in the back and to stay till 6:00 for their show) and Caesar's Italian restaurant in the center of the Forum shops (in the open right next to the statues). Good road trips if you want to get out of the city a couple days are Red Rock Canyon and Sanders Family Winery near Puhrump to the northwest, and Hoover Dam and scenic drive along Lake Mead to Lake Vegas to the east.
We stayed in a one bedroom from Fri-Mon. The location was perfect, right in the middle of the strip. The condo was clean and very spacious and the staff were friendly and helpful. Mark was extremely helpful and quick to respond to my emails. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Las Vegas.
My friends and I stayed here for a week and we are glad we did. The location is great, it is right in the middle of everything. We had a great view of the Bellagio fountains and were able to get everywhere. There was also a bus that was able to get us downtown. Mark was wonderful throughout it all as well, he gave us all the information that we would need and responded to my emails in a timely manner. It was a bit hard to find out room but the staff was able to get us there. Overall the room had everything we need and more and we will definitely stay here again in the future.
The apartment was perfect for us (a family of 4 adults) and the Communication with Mark was very good. The apartment complex where very Clean and no smoke (perfect!). As a guest you had acces to Cosmopolitan casino without going outdoors and we loved the pool at Cosmopolitan that we could use aswell....and not crowded at the gym-GOOD!
My husband and I booked a 1 bedroom condo a the Jockey Club for Halloween '14. It was a GREAT choice. Mark with the property management was extremely helpful and quick to respond to my emails. This location is great - right on the strip near the Cosmo & Bellagio. The actual condo building is about 20 yards to the strip. We had a GREAT time. The condo was clean and spacious, the staff were friendly and helpful. We loved the small shop to buy wine & snacks, and the video rental library was a life saver!!! The Jockey Club will be highly recommended to anyone we know going to Vegas.
We enjoyed an amazing dinner at STACK in the Mirage that trip. WORTH EVERY PENNY - the food was to die for. You must try the adult tater-tots. The 3 story H&M in Ceaser's Forum is still my favorite place to wonder around.
The property location of the Jockey club cannot be beat!!
This property is on the strip and in the center of it. Some might say front row and on the 50 yard line. Tucked in betwen the Bellagio and Cosmopolitan

In Las Vegas weekends are more costly than weekdays. So if you can plan your stay to not include a friday or saturday night the price will be a lot less

VenuWorks now officially operating The Victory
EVANSVILLE - VenuWorks, manager of the Ford Center, is now officially operating The Victory, as well.
The company's city contract was amended on Tuesday by the Evansville Redevelopment Commission. City government recently severed ties with SMG, which for many years managed The Victory, Roberts Stadium and Mesker Amphitheatre.
SMG still has a contract with Vanderburgh County government to operate The Centre.
VenuWorks President Steve Peters cited "great synergies" between the Ford Center and The Victory. The facilities are a few steps apart on Main Street.
Having management of both venues "will help us serve broader audiences" and provide "greater booking capability," Peters said, because there are entertainment acts that would be a better fit for the Victory than the Ford Center, which seats 10,000.
The Victory was built in 1921 and is home of the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra. Peters said the theater is a "great facility, well-maintained" and he does not anticipate it needing major renovations anytime soon.
VenuWorks will heavily market The Victory's meeting and banquet rooms in addition to the 1,950-seat theater, company officials told the Redevelopment Commission.
VenuWorks, based in Ames, Iowa, has four years remaining on its city contract. Under the amendment approved Tuesday, the company will be paid $12,500 to run The Victory for the remainder of 2012 with compensation for the next four years still being negotiated.
While management of The Victory is now settled, the future of Mesker Amphitheatre remains in limbo. Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden Director Amos Morris said during hearings on Evansville's 2013 budget that he would like to see the zoo and amphitheatre cross-promote summer events.
Mesker Amphitheatre is receiving seats from Roberts Stadium, which is to be razed over the next few weeks.
