Not really a tourist destination. Fantastic construction concept. Commercial contributor to Egypt. Commission for Tourism sent an armed guard with our guide for our safety. Sinai is pretty dangerous for Americans just now. I have waited over 40 years to see this place. Moving for me personally but maybe not for everyone.
Our large cruise ship is passing through the canal right now, and there are interesting things to see along this historic monumental passage. Many local fishermen fish the suez, farms dot the west side of the canal. Small towns have grown up in the distance. I believe the 128 miles will take about 14 hours at the slow pace we... More
We traveled in a convoy from the Med thru to the Red Sea. We marshaled with the other ships about 2am., and could make out Port Said 's lights. All was quiet. Then finally about 5 am we began the transit, a patrol boat came alongside and dropped a Pilot off and we began the journey. The African side is... More
Although I'd been to a lot of exotic destinations before my first impression of the Suez canal was absolutely overwhelming. Starting from 6am I was running from deck to deck trying to grab every moment and take the best picture possible. The passage was over by 6pm, by which time I was completely exhausted, but it was worth it.
I was very interested in seeing the Suez Canal and went to port said on a day trip from Cairo. It's awe inspiring seeing the Mediterranean meet the Red Sea and if you go even further to the south you can see the Nile meet the Mediterranean as well. We took a ferry over to the other side of the... More
I never thought I'd have the chance to traverse this canal, so traveling it on the Star Pride was a major reason for signing up for that Windstar cruise. We were Initially advised that our convoy of ships would pass through beginning at 7 am but it turned out we entered about 4am so I missed Port Said. Dawn came... More
Port Said is a somewhat unappealing and unhistorical city at the north entrance to the Suez Canal. Cruise ship shore excursions to Cairo depart from here (they have only recently resumed). Tensions are high and military presence is everywhere, make the environment a little uncomfortable. The canal is impressive in its very existence, but not the engineering marvel like the... More
I did the "Ditch" many times during my career as a merchant seaman. It's beautiful sailing thru the canal, many interesting landmarks on both sides. But it's surreal also. You can see areas along the desert edge where there are many burned out military vehicles from wars in the past. But definitely one of the most interesting places I've ever... More
I had the chance to travel through the Suez Canal 12 times in my time in Egypt. All business trips. I am sure it is much different from a nice Cruise Ship with good company and some nice beverages. I've enjoyed my time as I've had Egyptians on board who tell us about the history, the war and their perspective.... More
Was there summer of 2013. Being originally from there brings all good memories about this city. Taking the ferry to cross the canal is a very nice experience.

We just had passage for Suez Canal, north bond, but missed the total time we took to pass it. any idea?
My husband, teenage son (16) and I will be transiting The Suez Canal. I thought it was just cruising through and the cruise line did not stop. I got a generally positive feeling from other reviews. BUT, is there a stop there by US Cruise ships? If so, what is there to see or do? I can't think of what it might be. If we ask a local to show us around I am thinking we could easily be robbed. I booked our cruise, but didn't know what to expect in the Suez.
Thanks very much,

Ole Miss CB Bobby Hill arrested on sexual battery charge
Ole Miss cornerback Bobby Hill has been suspended indefinitely following his arrest on a sexual battery charge. Hill was arrested on Tuesday and is currently being held on $10,000 bond.
The alleged incident was reported to police on Sunday morning and took place sometime last weekend.
"We had a young lady reported that she was sexually assaulted and we investigated it," said Oxford police chief Joey East.
"We are aware of the situation and recognize the proper authorities are responsible for the matter," said Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze in a statement. "Bobby has been indefinitely suspended from all football activities while the process moves forward. We take this very seriously and will make decisions once the course of action is complete."
Hill appeared in 10 games for the Rebels as a freshman in 2013, making one tackle.

FSH and LH also control the onset of puberty in boys and girls. Therefore, administration of nafarelin blocks the puberty-promoting effects of FSH and LH, reducing the development of secondary sexual characteristics (such as pubic hair) and skeletal development in boys and girls with abnormally early puberty (central precocious puberty) due to problems in the brain that result in high levels of FSH and LH. The FDA approved nafarelin in February 1991.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PREPARATIONS: Nasal spray: 200µg/spray
STORAGE: Nafarelin should be stored at room temperature, 15 to 30 C (59 to 86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Nafarelin is prescribed for the management of endometriosis, to relieve pain and shrink endometrial implants. It also is used for managing central precocious puberty.
DOSING: For treatment of endometriosis nafarelin is given as one spray (200 µg) into one nostril in the morning and one spray in the other nostril in the evening for 6 months. The first dose of nafarelin should be taken between the second and fourth day after menstrual bleeding begins. After the first two months of nafarelin treatment, most women can expect a decrease in menstrual flow, and menstruation may stop altogether. For women who continue to experience normal menstrual cycles after two months of treatment, the daily dose may be increased to 800 µg daily.
Central precocious puberty is treated with 1600-1800 µg daily administered as four sprays in alternating nostrils twice daily or three sprays in alternating nostrils three times daily. Thirty seconds should elapse between sprays.
For optimal effectiveness and safety, nafarelin has to be given continuously without interruption. Missing one or more doses can cause vaginal bleeding. Missing successive doses can cause release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation) and result in pregnancy, unless proper contraceptive measures have been followed. Since birth control pills cannot be used with nafarelin, it is important to use non-hormonal methods of contraception (such as a diaphragm with contraceptive jelly, IUD, or condoms) while taking nafarelin.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration

Serb on Trial For Genocide Of Albanians In Kosovo
By CARLOTTA GALL
Published: December 6, 2000
BELGRADE, Serbia, Dec. 5— A Serbian law student went on trial today in the northern Kosovo town of Mitrovica for genocide in the killings of 26 Albanian men during the NATO bombing campaign last year.
The case remains one of the most painful episodes for the Albanian residents of the bitterly divided town.
French gendarmes who investigated the case last year managed to trace the missing men to a mass grave and arrested six Serbian men. At the time it was celebrated as a case of swift and good investigative work that promised justice for the Albanian victims.
But the trial that began today appeared to fall short on several counts. Only one defendant appeared in court: Igor Simic, 24. The other five Serbs charged with him in the original indictment escaped from the United Nations-run prison in Mitrovica several months ago and remain at large, probably in Serbia. Mr. Simic had tried to escape with them but was caught.
None of the families of the victims attended the trial. The courthouse is in the northern, Serbian-dominated part of town, where few Kosovo Albanians dare to go. And Mr. Simic appeared before a panel consisting mainly of Albanian judges, a practice that has been severely criticized by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe as unfair in such highly charged trials of ethnic-related crimes.
The prosecutor in the trial, Michael Hartmann, is an American, and a Swedish judge, Christer Karphammer, is presiding. But the other four members of the judicial panel -- one other judge and three citizens who deliberate with the others as lay judges -- are Kosovo Albanians.
Courts in Kosovo are staffed almost entirely by the ethnic Albanians who make up most of the population. Serbs have been wary of taking part because they accuse the United Nations-led administration of being biased against them.
Those courts have begun to try Serbs for genocide and other war crimes, but after blatant evidence of ethnic bias, the United Nations administration has started to include judges from outside Kosovo in the system.
The European security organization, in a damning report released in October, contended that such serious cases should be tried by international panels of judges or a panel on which a majority of judges are from outside. Mr. Simic, like most of the Serbs being tried for war crimes, has been in custody nearly a year and a half awaiting trial, which raises serious concerns about human rights violations and about the efficiency and competence of the United Nations-run legal system in Kosovo.
Mr. Simic is accused of taking part in the killings of the 26 Albanian men, who were forced out of their apartments, with their families, by masked gunmen on April 14 of last year, at the height of the killings and expulsions of Kosovo Albanians by Serbs in Kosovo.
The men were separated from the women and children and made to lie face down in a line along an alley leading from the street. The families were then ordered to leave and never saw the men again.
The men were killed shortly afterward and buried in a mass grave 10 miles away. French investigators, through witnesses, traced the grave and found the bodies. Some had been shot, some stabbed.
The investigators arrested six Serbian men, including a father and son and Mr. Simic, all of whom lived in Popovic Street and were neighbors of the victims. All six men were local and were still living in Mitrovica, in the northern, Serbian-dominated side of the town.
Mr. Simic pleaded not guilty today. He testified that he had been aware of the events that occurred, but did not take part, said a United Nations official who attended the trial. The trial will continue on Wednesday, when the first witness, a Kosovo Albanian, will be called. It is expected to continue into January.

My wife and I love this recipe. It's a regular with fish and fries. The main change I made is that instead of buttermilk I used plain yougurt. It gives a nice tartness to balance to the sugar. Also, I adjusted the sugar to suit our taste.
The best coleslaw recipe I have found. Let is sit overnight for the best flavor. Thanks for sharing!
This is the real deal.
Wonderful! Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag and what a wonderful coleslaw. I cut the recipe in half for DH and I but wish that I had made the whole batch. DH finished it for a snack in the evening. Definately will make again...thank you.
Super easy and very tasty!!! Also great for a roast beef sandwich!
This turned out great. Even impressed my mother-in-law.
This recipe doesn't need another review but I just had to add mine. Everyone loves this coleslaw! I use the packaged coleslaw mix but chop it a little finer for the hubby. I also use a little less lemon and vinegar because it get too runny. I always make a double batch because it goes so fast. Thank you for sharing.
Just like KFC's coleslaw! If you like the original then YOU WILL ENJOY IT!!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe, my husband loves the coleslaw from KFC and this hit the spot with him (and the rest of the family). I followed the directions exactly and it turned out great!!! Again, thanks for sharing.
I tweaked this recipe by adding the crunch of 2-3 stalks of sliced celery. I also used one full onion and 4 carrots. Since I did that I made twice the amount of dressing. Yummy and healthy! Thanks for sharing!

Standard & Poor's Warns Chicago 'Downgrade Of More Than One Notch Is Possible'
Not too much talk about the following last week in the Chicago-area news. From Standard & Poor's credit analyst Helen Samuelson over on S&P's Global Credit Portal website on April 9:
CHICAGO (Standard & Poor's) April 9, 2015–After months of campaigning and uncertainty, Chicago (A+/Negative general obligation debt rating) can get back to the business of running itself. As such, we expect Mayor Rahm Emanuel's attention to be focused on the city's budget challenges, namely its ballooning pension obligation.
During the course of the election — and particularly during the runoff — Mayor Emanuel avoided addressing the possibility of property tax increases to help pay for these pension obligations.
"Following Tuesday's vote, in order to maintain its current rating, we expect the administration to address the pension and budget challenges head on by providing solutions that will support the city's credit strengths in the near and far term," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Helen Samuelson.
Our 'A+' rating is predicated on Chicago's ability to make the changes necessary to address its budget gap and pension problem. However, even with this ability, to ensure long-term stability Chicago still needs to demonstrate its willingness to make difficult choices that address its budget issues.
Otherwise, the 'A+' rating could be severely pressured. Our negative rating outlook reflects the city's fiscal pressures. If the city doesn't find structural solutions, a downgrade of more than one notch is possible.
In our view, if the city fails to articulate and implement a plan by the end of 2015 to sustainably fund its pension contributions, or if it substantially draws down its reserves to fund the contributions, we will likely lower the rating. This is regardless of whatever relief the state legislature may or may not provide. We will likely affirm the rating and revise the outlook to stable if Chicago is able to successfully absorb its higher pension costs while maintaining balanced budgetary performance and reserves at or near their current level…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
To date, a different credit rating agency- Moody's- has been making the most noise about the City of Chicago's financial woes. Yvette Shields reported on The Bond Buyer website on April 6:
The city has suffered a steep credit rating slide and further credit deterioration is threatened.
Chicago's GO ratings range from a low of Baa2 — two notches above speculative grade — from Moody's to a high of A-plus from Standard & Poor's…
"A-plus." That may not be the case at year end.

Chicago To Be Run By Emergency Financial Control Board Within 2 Years?
Last Wednesday, I reminded Survival And Prosperity readers (local ones in particular) that Chicago- upon reelecting Rahm Emanuel as Mayor- remains in serious financial trouble. From that post:
As Rahm Emanuel enters his second term as Mayor of Chicago, I feel that proverbial brick wall is still fast-approaching.
Perhaps the best Chicagoans can hope for at this point is a controlled crash landing.
I know one thing. If I were still living in the city, I'd be preparing for the coming carnage…
Some readers might feel I was being a little too "sensational" with that statement. Therefore, I'd like to offer up the following for your consideration. Reuters' Megan Davies and Karen Pierog reported on April 8:
Chicago has not seen the population losses Detroit did and its business and commercial real estate markets remain healthy, but its current circumstances are more dire than any other major American city today, with aggregate debt of $21.4 billion, up 60 percent since 2004.
Although Chicago's situation isn't bad enough yet to warrant a bankruptcy filing, that threat is out there if it fails to tackle its problems.
"People say Chicago's not Detroit," said Tom Metzold, a senior portfolio advisor at investment manager Eaton Vance. "Not right now. Chicago is Detroit ten years from now. I don't care how economically strong your economy is. They don't have a printing press. You can only tax so much."
Metzold estimated the odds of a Chapter 9 bankruptcy in the next five years are "virtually zero" but said in the next 10 years that could rise to 25 percent if it fails to act…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
In case readers are wondering, Metzold's s "Street cred" includes serving as VP and Co-Director of Municipal Investments at Eaton Vance (one of the oldest investment management firms in the U.S.- established 1924), and as its Portfolio Manager since 1991.
Not as "optimistic" about Chicago's financial future is Joe Mysak, Editor of Bloomberg Brief. He warned in an April 8 commentary:
I'm not a betting man. If I were, I'd bet that Chicago is going to be run by an Emergency Financial Control Board, or something like it, within two years, the same as New York City back in 1975 (and until 1986)…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Mysak, who's been covering the municipal bond market since 1981, pointed out the city's abysmal Moody's credit rating ("one step from the basement of investment grade") and wrote:
So a cut to junk may well be in the cards, and with it diminished and eventually lack of access to capital. Chicago has already creatively used, and some would say abused, the municipal market to subsidize city operations…
When the banks no longer want to lend to Chicago is presumably when the state of Illinois would come in, offering cash, loan guarantees, intercession with the federal government and whatever else the city needs in exchange for external management via an Emergency Financial Control Board…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
The author of the Encyclopedia of Municipal Bonds signed-off with:
Two years. That's how long I give the city of Chicago. Good luck, Rahm.
Good luck Chicago…

Moody's Downgrades Chicago's Credit Rating Yet Again, Issues Negative Outlook
Chicago's financial health is still pretty bleak in 2015.
Almost one year ago to this day, I blogged about bond credit rating giant Moody's Investor Service downgrading the City of Chicago's general obligation (GO) and sales tax ratings to Baa1 from A3, affecting $8.3 billion of GO and sales tax debt. I added last March:
According to Moody's, "Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics."
Just before the weekend, Moody's downgraded Chicago's credit rating yet again. The Global Credit Research division announced on the Moody's website under "Ratings News" Friday:
Rating Action: Moody's downgrades Chicago, IL to Baa2; maintains negative outlook
Baa2 applies to $8.3B of GO debt, $542M of sales tax debt, and $268M of motor fuel tax debt
New York, February 27, 2015 — Moody's Investors Service has downgraded to Baa2 from Baa1 the rating on the City of Chicago, IL's $8.3 billion of outstanding general obligation (GO) debt, $542 million of outstanding sales tax revenue debt, and $268 million of outstanding or authorized motor fuel tax revenue debt. We have also downgraded to Speculative Grade (SG) from VMIG 3 the short-term rating on the city's outstanding Sales Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds, Variable Rate Series 2002. The outlook on the long-term ratings remains negative…
"The outlook on the long-term ratings remains negative"
Kind of hard to get excited about the "Windy City's" prospects after reading that.
To be fair, some are suggesting the credit rating downgrades are being influenced by City Hall in order to avoid meeting certain financial obligations (i.e., Chicago's well-publicized public pension crisis).
"We ain't got it."

Cook County Residents To Get Hit With Tax Hikes Soon?
For a while now (last time being earlier this week), I told my girlfriend we were lucky to have escaped the fiscal debacle and revenue grab going on in the city of Chicago.
At the same time, I pointed out that as Cook County residents we're still on the hook for the same type of nonsense.
Brian Slodysko reported on the Chicago Sun-Times website yesterday afternoon:
Hoping to ward off another credit rating downgrade, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said Wednesday that she will soon present a plan to reform the county's underfunded pension system.
And she's leaving the door open to hiking property, sales and other taxes.
When asked repeatedly about the possibility of tax increases, Preckwinkle responded: "We're looking at all the options. Everything is on the table."
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Slodysko added later in the piece:
Preckwinkle declined to discuss specifics, but she did say that any plan that goes before the Legislature will not have property tax increase language written into the bill…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Okaaay… so that means Preckwinkle's not "leaving the door open" to hiking property taxes?
Regardless, based on what I see coming down the line for us, it's only a matter of time.
Last summer, Cook County saw its bond rating lowered by one of the major credit rating agencies supposedly due to its public pension liabilities. I blogged on August 20, 2013:
In the wake of significantly downgrading the City of Chicago's credit rating, bond credit rating giant Moody's Investor Service lowered Cook County's bond rating a notch last Friday. In a news release from the Moody's website right before the weekend:
New York, August 16, 2013 — Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the rating on Cook County's (IL) general obligation (GO) debt to A1 from Aa3, affecting $3.7 billion of general obligation debt. The outlook remains negative.
The downgrade of the GO rating reflects Cook County's growing pension liabilities…

Moody's Downgrades Chicago's Credit Rating Again, Issues Negative Outlook
Just as I was about to blog about prepping tonight I observed the following splashed on the homepage of the Chicago Tribune website:
Chicago credit rating takes major hit
Chicago's financial standing took a hit Tuesday when a major bond rating agency once again downgraded the city's credit worthiness…
No surprise there, all things considered. No real effort has been made to tackle Chicago's financial woes, which led to bond credit rating giant Moody's Investor Service downgrading the City of Chicago's general obligation (GO) and sales tax ratings to A3 from Aa3, water and sewer senior lien revenue ratings to A1 from Aa2, and water and sewer second lien revenue ratings to A2 from Aa3 back on July 17, 2013.
After seeing that headline, I decided to head over to Moody's Investors Service website to check out the latest "Ratings News," where the following was posted:
Rating Action: Moody's downgrades Chicago, IL to Baa1 from A3, affecting $8.3 billion of GO and sales tax debt…
Also downgrades water and sewer senior lien revenue bonds to A2 from A1 and second lien revenue bonds to A3 from A2, affecting $3.3 billion of debt; outlook negative for all ratings…
According to Moody's, "Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics."
Their Global Credit Research unit added:
The Baa1 rating on Chicago's GO debt reflects the city's massive and growing unfunded pension liabilities, which threaten the city's fiscal solvency absent major revenue and other budgetary adjustments adopted in the near term and sustained for years to come. The size of Chicago's unfunded pension liabilities makes it an extreme outlier, as indicated by the city's fiscal 2012 adjusted net pension liability (ANPL) of 8.0 times operating revenue, which is the highest of any rated US local government. While the Illinois General Assembly's recent passage of pension reforms for the State of Illinois (A3 negative) and the Chicago Park District (CPD) (A1 negative) suggests that reforms may soon be forthcoming for Chicago, we expect that any cost savings of such reforms will not alleviate the need for substantial new revenue and fiscal adjustments in order to meet the city's long-deferred pension funding needs. We expect that the city's pension contributions will continue to fall below those based on actuarial standards. The city's slowly-amortizing debt levels are also large and growing. The Baa1 rating also incorporates credit strengths including Chicago's large tax base that sits at the center of one of the nation's most diverse regional economies and the city's broad legal authority to raise revenue…

WSJ Calls Proposed 'Fix' To Illinois Public Pension Crisis 'Fake'
Today's the day Illinois lawmakers may vote on SB0001 to "fix" the state's $100 billion public pension crisis.
But according to the Wall Street Journal last night, the whole thing's a "fake."
From the WSJ website Monday evening:
Illinois's Fake Pension Fix
Democrats in Illinois have dug a $100 billion pension hole, and now they want Republicans to rescue them by voting for a plan that would merely delay the fiscal reckoning while helping to re-elect Governor Pat Quinn. The cuckolded GOP seems happy to oblige on this quarter-baked reform.
Legislative leaders plan to vote Tuesday on a bill that Mr. Quinn hails as a great achievement. But the plan merely tinkers around the edges to save a fanciful $155 billion over 30 years, shaves the state's unfunded liability by at most 20%, and does nothing for Chicago's $20 billion pension hole.
Most of the putative savings would come from trimming benefits for younger workers. The retirement age for current workers would increase on a graduated scale by four months for 45-year-olds to five years for those 30 and under. Teachers now in their 20s would have to wait until the ripe, old age of 60 to retire, but they'd still draw pensions worth 75% of their final salary.
Salaries for calculating pensions would also be capped at $109,971, which would increase over time with inflation. Yet Democrats cracked this ceiling by grandfathering in pensions for workers whose salaries currently top or will exceed the cap due to raises in collective-bargaining agreements.
Democrats are also offering defined-contribution plans as a sop to Republicans who are desperate to dress up this turkey of a deal. These plans would only be available to 5% of workers hired before 2011. Why only 5%? Because if too many workers opt out of the traditional pension, there might not be enough new workers to fund the overpromises Democrats have made to current pensioners.
At private companies, such 401(k)-style plans are private property that workers keep if they move to a new job. But the Illinois version gives the state control over the new defined-contribution plans and lets the legislature raid the individual accounts at anytime. That's a scam, not a reform.
Even under the most optimistic forecasts, these nips and tucks would only slim the state's pension liability down to $80 billion— which is where it was after Governor Quinn signed de minimis fixes in spring 2010 to get him past that year's election…
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
"Would only slim the state's pension liability down to $80 billion."
Sounds like this legislation would only "kick the can down the road" as the public pension crisis is concerned- once again.
I shouldn't be surprised to read any of this.
After all, it's what Illinois state legislators have been doing for quite some time now on this issue.
At the end of the day- including today, if a pension "fix" is signed into law- it looks as if public sector retirees participating in these particular pensions are the ones who will be most screwed.
Illinois taxpayers won't be far behind.
Consider what Kenneth Griffin, the richest Chicagoan and Illinoisan who's also CEO of the global financial institution Citadel Group, had to say in a Chicago Tribune piece on November 29:
The bitter truth is that our politicians have sold government employees a fraudulent bill of goods. Absent extraordinary economic growth, our state is going to collapse under the weight of generous pension promises made by union leaders and politicians. And with each passing day, the $100 billion gap between what has been promised and what is provided for grows by roughly $5 million.
Here is where this story will inevitably end: Our state is going to be forced to break its promises to our government employees and retirees. They will receive less than they bargained for. Our state's taxpayers will see the 67 percent "temporary" tax increase converted into a permanent tax increase. And soon we will hear that even further tax increases are needed to meet our obligations. This is the price we are all going to pay for sending the wrong leaders to Springfield for too many years.
I don't think shaving $20 billion off that total will change Griffin's prognosis much.
An $80 billion public pension funding gap.
Wonder if that will fake out the credit rating agencies?
Something tells me it won't, and rewinding the clock only three-and-a-half years will still leave us with an ongoing public pension crisis.
The Wall Street Journal did a nice job picking apart the proposed "fix." You can read the entire article on the WSJ website here or on the Illinois Policy Institute's website here.

Moody's Downgrades Chicago Transit Authority Bonds From Aa3 to A1, Says Outlook Negative
Moody's Investors Service has dealt Chicago another ratings blow. In this case, it's the Chicago Transit Authority. From a Global Credit Research news release last Friday:
New York, October 25, 2013 — Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the Chicago Transit Authority's $2.9 billion outstanding sales tax revenue bonds to A1 from Aa3 and revised the outlook to negative from stable. Also affected are approximately $77 million of authority lease bonds issued by the Chicago Public Building Commission, which have been downgraded to A2.
According to Moody's rating scale, this CTA debt has gone from being "high quality" and "subject to very low credit risk" to "upper-medium grade" and "subject to low credit risk."
The well-known credit rating agency added:
The rating assigned to the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) sales-tax backed debt has relied partly on active management — the ability to increase pledged revenue to allow for new debt and to maintain debt-service coverage. Two main factors now indicate weaker CTA credit quality. First, in view of growing credit pressures on Chicago (A3/negative), Cook County (A1/negative), and the State of Illinois (A3/negative), we believe the political will to impose further revenue increases has diminished. Second, the CTA system faces growing deferred maintenance and capital needs that will require funding from new debt issuance and other sources, at a time when state and federal support is likely to dwindle. Despite the recent improvement in pledged revenues driven by the national economic recovery, debt service coverage levels are likely to decrease in coming years. A backlog of pledged state matching payments, though recently reduced, will remain a long-term challenge and may be exacerbated by impending state income tax cuts and the state's massive pension deficits. CTA's own increasing pension challenges may strain its operating budget. Together, these factors have added to the importance of distinctions between CTA's sales-tax bonds and those issued by the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA, Aa3/stable), a transit oversight body with a prior claim on the same regional sales taxes and a more conservative additional debt limit.

Illinois Senate President John Cullerton Says No State Public Pension Crisis
"Five million dollars a day. That's the cost of Illinois' unresolved pension crisis."
-Jay Levine, Channel 2 News (Chicago CBS affiliate) reporter, October 18, 2013
Five million dollars a day being flushed down the toilet because Illinois politicians haven't tackled the state's public pension crisis.
By the way, that pension liability now amounts to a worst-in-the-nation $100 billion last I heard.
And here's what Illinois Senate President John Cullerton said yesterday about the ongoing fiasco. From the Chicago Tribune website this morning:
"People really misunderstand the nature of this whole problem. Quite frankly, I don't think you can use the word 'crisis' to describe it at the state level," Cullerton said in an interview on WGN-AM radio.
"It's something we have to deal with, but it's not something that we're on the verge of bankruptcy on," Cullerton said.
The term "Ivory Tower" comes to mind here.
Meanwhile, it's probably just a matter of time now before a major credit rating agency downgrades the State's debt yet again due to the inability of the political leadership to deal with the crisis.
According to the Illinois Watchdog website, Illinois has seen its credit downgraded 16 times since 2003, with both Fitch and Standard and Poor's currently assigning an "A-" rating to its debt.

Motorola CEO: Illinois 'Asleep At The Switch, And The Day Of Reckoning Will Come'
You know the state of Illinois has real fiscal challenges when a member of the U.S. President's Management Advisory Board (PMAB) says that's the case. Greg Brown, President and CEO of Schaumburg-based Motorola Solutions, spoke to Crain's Chicago Business last week and said the following about his company's relationship to the Midwestern state:
Illinois remains front and center for us for a variety of reasons: incumbency, skills that are resident, our existing footprint. It's Illinois' to lose, but Illinois is on a path to lose it. The state of Illinois is asleep at the switch, and the day of reckoning will come. You can't have the state's fiscal house being what it is and be able to attract capital. If Illinois kicks the can and stays in a four-corner offense, then capital will move out of state, including ours. I've had governors of Florida and Michigan proactively call me and say: "Would you consider moving a division, opening a plant? Would you consider moving R&D here? Would you deploy a sales division here?" Illinois doesn't think like that. It needs a complete overhaul. It needs to happen soon.
Judging by the continued inaction in Springfield (seat of Illinois government) on issues of significant fiscal importance to the state and its 12.9 million residents, something tells me that can will keep being kicked down the road until the "day of reckoning" Brown talked about finally arrives.
In the meantime, the State of Illinois continues to languish.
Consider what Ted Dabrowski, Vice President of Policy at the Illinois Policy Institute, wrote back on November 28 on the organization's website:
Today, Illinois still has more than $9 billion in unpaid bills. The Legislature continues to run structural deficits, appropriating more funds than the revenues it receives. The state's pension systems are more than $200 billion in the hole and facing insolvency. And the state has been downgraded 10 times by the three major rating agencies since Gov. Quinn took office.
I am truly concerned about what lies in store for the "Land of Lincoln" going forward.

Truxedo Lo Pro QT or Tonno Pro Lo Rol
I am trying to decide which bed cover to buy. I used to have a Toxedo Truxport on my 2010 Ram and it was good except it stuck up to high.
I like to hear some of the owners' experience if you have one of the low covers metioned in the title so I can.
I noticed that neither one has a locking latch on both sides like the Truxport had. Looking at one of those small displays at a local dealer I noticed that the Truxedo Lo Pro QT display has a rectangular hole in the passenger side rail, suggesting that I could add an additional latch. Maybe an actual owner of a Low Pro could verify if there actually is a hole and let me know.
Other than that, I am wondering if the additional $200.00 for the Truxed vs the Tonno Pro are justified? They pretty much look identical. Let me know your experience with either one as far as being leaking or the vinyl not staying tight.
Thank you for your input.
Bumping this thread. I have the same question, but it seems like you never got an answer. :4-dontknow:
I took a picture for you, but having trouble trying to get it attached from my phone. But at quick glance, looks like you can attach another latch to the lopro. But I really don't think you need too. It works great as is, and the locking bar is good and secures down well even with only one side latching
took a better look now that i have a bit more time. all you would need is the latch mechanism, and on the right side, there are holes and the bolt to mount the latch on the underside of the rail.
Just as a late update! I ended up putting a Truxedo loPro QT on that truck. I since sold the truck and now own a 2010 Ram 2500 CTD.
Going a different route with that one..........just bought a BakFlip G2.

Setting custom alert intervals for iOS Calendar items
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I was wondering how to add additional time increment choices for the alert options in editing in the calendar. Thank you.
- Molly
A: Unfortunately, there is no way to do this in the built-in iOS Calendar app. As with other calendar features, the iOS Calendar application will support custom alert intervals set by other apps, but it will not allow you to set them to anything other than the provided options.
However, this means that you can set different alert intervals from other applications such as the OS X Calendars app—which will allow you to enter any arbitrary value when setting an alert—or third-party iOS apps.
If you're syncing with a desktop calendar app via iCloud, iTunes or ActiveSync, this is probably the simplest—and cheapest—way to go about dealing with this, since you can set or modify the alert intervals there. Doing this directly on your iOS device will require you to use a third-party app which you will likely need to purchase.
In looking at the Calendar app options in our own collection of iOS apps, a few that might do the trick for you include: Week Calendar ($2), which is designed primarily to display your calendar in a weekly layout, but provides the ability to enter custom alert intervals manually or customize the list of preset intervals. Calendars by Readdle ($7) provides tighter Google Calendar integration and allows custom alerts to be set at any five-minute interval. Pocket Informant Pro ($15) is a full-featured calendar and task management app that, among many other advanced features, also offers the ability to set custom reminder intervals.
Like most third-party iOS calendar apps, these applications all use the standard iOS Calendar database, and can therefore be used either alongside or in place of the built-in iOS Calendar app, and iOS based syncing with iCloud, iTunes or Exchange ActiveSync is fully supported, since these apps are primarily reading the local calendar database.

31 year old man | Houston, TX, USA | Seeking women 24-33 within 100 miles
Active within 24 hours
Treasure Seeker searching for a partner in crime to share adventures, sports, and fun with. Maybe find some buried treasure along the way.
Hey there! Im a very active guy who is always up to learn something different, seek out challenges, and find a new adventure. As far as personal goals go, I always endeavor to be a Renaissance Man of a sort. And as such I realize I have a long ways to go, but it's really the journey that counts the most I think versus the status. I'm greatly inspired by original thinking, unconventional free spirits, spontaneity, adventure, and an energetic zest for life! I tend to be conservative in nature but I'm pretty tolerant and appreciate different ideas and styles. There are always multiple viewpoints and ways to do things. As such I like to keep an open mind enhanced with reason and education. I grew up in Texas, went to Texas A&M University, and was a submarine officer in the Navy for 6.5 years. Now Im an engineer for an Oil and Gas company. In my free time, I work out a lot and also like doing fun activities that utilize physical fitness. It's a good motivator for staying fit and constantly improving! Out here I've gone scuba diving offshore on some rigs and on the Flower Gardens Reef system (beautiful). I like to go offroad biking. Some pretty good trails out here. Kitesurfing at the Texas City Dike and kayaking. Do lots of running, biking, and swimming (triathlons and other races) . Lake 288 is a good swimming spot. Rock Climbing at Texas Rock Gym. And play flag football. I'm also very excited for college football!! Aggie football is the best. I can also be a bit of a nerd and goofball at times, haha! Aside from that, I love to travel and see new things. I try not to watch much tv, but I do like The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Big Bang Theory, Arrow, and House of Cards. For those still reading, haha, it's hard for me to define the type of girl I'm looking for. I think I'd like one that is adventurous, physically active and fit, fun, easy going, intelligent, kind of goofy, not afraid to get dirty, independent, and has a great spirited smile!
