It may not be turkey season yet, but for die hard turkey hunters it is certainly beginning to feel like it. We may not be able to hunt for a few more days, but the dawn patrol has begun. We've started the early morning hours, rising well before sunrise to listen for birds gobbling, then waiting for daylight to scout the timber for sign and scan fields with binoculars for turkeys.
One of the best ways to be a successful turkey hunter is to be where the turkeys are and preseason scouting is the way to do that. If you know where the birds like to roost at night and where they go after sunrise you're 75 percent of the way to getting it done on opening morning. Knowing where to set up, knowing that the gobblers are there, an what they'll likely do that first day before the hunting pressure is on - those are the key factors that will increase your confidence and chances of success.
Yet beyond the practical applications, being out there now, before the season, is simply sunrise therapy. There's no better way to start the day than by spending it in or along some woodlot, listening to turkeys gobbling, geese honking and all the little birds of the forest coming to life with their songs. Especially after this long, cold winter we've just endured, spring mornings on the dawn patrol almost make up for the months of cold and time spent indoors.
You don't even have to get your feet wet or muddy to enjoy the dawn patrol. It can be as simple as sitting in your truck along the roadside, windows rolled down, listening for the half hour before sunrise. Often that's the best thing to do, particularly if you hunt small woodlots, as you won't be intruding on the roost areas and disturbing turkeys you hope to hunt later. Just listen, take notes on where the birds are and see if they stay in the same general places day after day.
If you check an area and don't hear gobbling, don't give up. Some days they just don't want to make a peep. Give a spot a few tries, on different weather conditions, before you give up on it.
One important thing is to leave your turkey calls at home. If you start calling to them now all you'll do is educate them. Wait for opening morning for the clucks and yelps. The only thing you should think of trying during the preseason are owl hooters, crow calls, or other locator calls.
By May, many of us will be dragging. The early morning hours, day after day, will have taken their toll and some days it will almost feel like drudgery. But not now. Now we're all fresh and eager, every dawn is looked forward to with joy and we can't wait for the season to begin. There's no better time to be a turkey hunter and there's no better part of the day than the dawn patrol. Grab your coffee and let's go.

Extremely comfortable and warm hoodie, very happy with my purchase! Soft to the touch and not overly bulky or "puffy". I am 6'1, slim but not skinny. I usually buy a large and put it in the dryer to shrink if need be. I purchased a Medium since it's 100% polyester and shouldn't shrink or be put in the dryer.

When you put these on, you will feel as if your kicks are 5x stronger. There is a powerful presence about these shoes. - You will get good looks from other people, they are eye catchers.

Poetry: Language and Loveby Alexander Nazaryan
Vladimir Nabokov, Brian Boyd, Stanislav Shvabrin, eds., Verses and Versions: Three Centuries of Russian Poetry
(Harcourt, 2008)
Love for Vladimir Nabokov was hardly a matter of the heart. He once suggested that a writer should work with "the imagination of a scientist," and even his finest prose—probably Lolita and Speak, Memory—is more distinguished for a lapidary concern with the nuance of language than the humanistic and religious grappling of the great Russian novelists who proceeded him. Lolita may be a coquette, but it is the boundless possibility of English that is the true object of Humbert Humbert's lust. An exemplary polymath, Nabokov found himself enthralled more by the near-infinite cornucopia afforded by words; the lives drawn by them sometimes seem secondary.
It is unsurprising that Nabokov was a prolific translator, and that his translations are a battleground for the concerns that inform the rest of his writing. Perhaps as compensation for having left Russia as a young man, he was an assiduous promoter of the verses of not only Aleksandr Pushkin, but lesser-known acolytes such as Derzhavin, Nekrasov, and Lermontov, the latter long overdue in recognition from the West. His version of Eugene Onegin, written in a difficult verse scheme tailored far better for Russian than English, nearly doubled the size of Pushkin's masterpiece, but, as always, Nabokov sacrificed readability (and certainly brevity) on the altar of language.
Verses and Versions is the anthology of Russian verse that Nabokov never saw published in his lifetime. Capably edited by Brian Boyd and Stanislav Shvabrin, this edition places Nabokov's versions next to the Russian originals in an effort to lay bare (for those readers lucky enough to be fluent in both languages) the concerns with which he struggled. And the concerns were myriad: as Boyd writes in his largely illuminating introduction, the tome is "a master class in the possibilities and problems of literary translation." It shows Nabokov moving away from the relative lyricism of his earlier verses to the arguably bloated Onegin of 1951 when, as Boyd writes, he succumbed to "total fidelity to sense even at the cost of style." Though Pushkin understandably receives prime billing, Verses and Versions is notable for the attention it lavishes on the likes of Nikolay Karamzin ("charming, graceful" in Nabokov's commentary, which precedes each poet's selection), Afanasiy Fet ("a butterfly fanning its wings") and Osip Mandelstam, one of the great poets of the early Soviet Union to succumb to Stalin's purges.
Fidelity and fluidity do not always correspond in these pages, and Nabokov must occasionally content himself with clunky versions. For example, in Kyuhelbeker's "Destiny of Russian Poets," he laments the crowd's neglect of the prophetic poet "whose winged course, ablaze with thunderbolts, / might drench in radiance the motherland." The original has the simplicity of a prophecy, or perhaps a popular dirge; the scientific Nabokov is simply too verbose, and the poem loses the force of meaning.
But it should also be said that nobody understood the travails of translation better than Nabokov himself. In an excerpt of a revealing essay on translation, he laments the translator because: "the greater his individual talent, the more apt he will be to drown the foreign masterpiece under the sparkling ripples of his own personal style." He is markedly more humble in approaching the titanic figure of Pushkin in a gem of a poem entitled "On Translating 'Eugene Onegin'":
What is translation? On a platter
A poet's pale and glaring head,
A parrot's screech, a monkey's chatter,
And profanation of the dead.
Perhaps a sizable portion of the readership for Verses and Versions will be interested in just how successful Nabokov is in fusing Pushkin's legacy with his own, especially since the editors have capably parsed down his voluminous Pushkin translations into a mere hundred-some pages. But this book is just as notable for the minor poets it uncovers, those who rarely make it out of Russia. In that sense Verses and Versions is an unqualified success, even as it reveals Nabokov's struggles with translation.

text: Here you go [Thu Jan 17 22:04:21 2013] Stripped of her magical scales, Velishan becomes enraged! 4 minutes 11 seconds after I cast the unresistable spell with poison counters that you for some reason think is bad in Magic form. Your attempt at an insult shows a lack of knowledge. It is not a single spell that causes it like you seem to be indicating, but a culmination of many failed emotes. It is quite possible you are using MR in Magic form but aren't getting enough failures to strip the scales completely. But there is no way that MR is actually landing in Magic form, which your logs will tell you if you care to look and be honest with yourself. Its quite simple to prove me wrong, post a log of Velishan in Magic form with these two lines: Axxius hit Velishan, The Deceitful for XXXX points of non-melee damage Velishan, The Deceitful is enveloped in reverberating energy You can't unless you edit a log file to say that. So here is a recap of this thread: I provided some useful information, I was questioned politely by Gladare, I clarified, you insulted me, I posted logs to back up my point, you insulted me again, I clarified since you couldn't seem to see how to post a log to back up your point. I'm now done with you until you learn how to have an adult conversation. ( FYI....there is a form that blocks tash and it isn't magic )

As always our aim is to maintain the breadth, diversity and quality of the course range available to customers, providing maximum choice across the mornings and afternoons in each of the three weeks. Courses run from Monday until Friday and offer flexibility in choice between a full day, two half days or simply coming for the mornings or afternoons alone.
The scope and breadth of the courses is unusually wide and designed to satisfy all ages, interests and abilities and it is because we offer so much to so many that we boast a programme that truly has "Something for Everyone".

Alex Beam of the Boston Globe has an interesting column on the role being played by historian Douglas Brinkley as a chronicler of Johh Kerry's military service: "Historian's 'Duty': PR for Kerry?" We previously noted Chris Suellentrop's take on Brinkley's book in "Tour of Duty Condensed" and made a related point in "A Manchurian candidate?"
Yesteday Salon published a column partly adapted by Brinkley from his book on Kerry: "Why Kerry threw his ribbons." Here you can see the flack in action for yourself. (Courtesy of Tom Bevan and RealClearPolitics Commentary.)

Telkom to cut half of 19 000 workforceComment on this story
Johannesburg - Telkom will cut about half of its workforce as Africa's largest fixed-line operator seeks to reduce spending and help stabilise the business, according to a labour union.
Telkom will start the process of firing more than 9 500 of its 19 000 employees within the next six months and will focus on the field services division, the South African Communications Union said in an e-mailed statement.
The Pretoria-based company had planned to cut a third of its employees, chief executive Sipho Maseko said late last year.
Telkom spokesman Pynee Chetty wasn't immediately available for comment.
"We are going to court," SACU General Secretary Karriem Abrahams said by phone today.
"Last year Telkom made an 11 billion rand loss, this year there's a 3.9 billion profit. Last year there wasn't need to retrench."
Telkom plans to reduce its costs by 5 billion rand through job cuts after the phone company halted years of sliding sales partly caused by falling fixed-line usage.
Maseko said earlier this month that he predicts stable revenue through 2017.
Telkom shares gained 0.6 percent to 48.72 rand at 4:34 p.m. in Johannesburg.
The stock has increased 74 percent this year, the second-best performer on the FTSE/JSE Africa All-Share Index. - Bloomberg News

The Twist
Church News, 3 February 1962: —
MIA Bans the "Twist"
After careful consideration and discussion, the executives and general boards of the MIA have issued the following statement:
The "twist" should not be done in the cultural halls of our Church. This dance is not up to the standards of good taste. Since it is a self-expression dance, it is felt that even if it were taught in a dignified and modest manner, the participants through their self-expression could make it undignified and immodest. We feel therefore, that it should not be done at our dances and should be discouraged at all times among our young people. Encourage our young people to be leaders in high standards of conduct and not follow the world in lower standards of conduct."

Taking over: Adenan taking his oath of office in the presence of Abang Muhammad at Astana Negeri in Kuching. — ZULAZHAR SHEBLEE / The Star
KUCHING: Continuity will be a key consideration for new Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem as he takes the helm of the state's administration.
Adenan, 70, is taking over in mid-term from Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, who held the post for 33 years and is Sarawak's longest-serving Chief Minister.
He was sworn in as the state's fifth Chief Minister by outgoing head of state Tun Abang Muhammad Salahuddin at the Astana here yesterday.
Adenan is widely expected to continue Abdul Taib's policies with the support and co-operation of his state Cabinet colleagues.
Second Resource Planning and Environment Minister Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan said the state Cabinet members would work with Adenan as a team.
"We know it's not easy to fill Taib's shoes, but we are confident that with Adenan's experience and the spirit of co-operation everything will be all right," he said.
He added that he had no hard feelings about not being picked to succeed Abdul Taib. "To me, this is the best choice," he said.
Awang Tengah had been touted as a potential successor along with Housing Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg and Adenan.
Abdul Taib named Adenan as his successor after tendering his resignation to the governor on Feb 12. Adenan has served in various portfolios at federal and state levels over the last two decades.
He is married to Puan Sri Jamilah Anu and they have five children.

Wizards vs. Sixers in Seven Frames: When Gilbert Arenas Became Ziggy
It's a different world now.
In a way, I feel like Frank Sobotka from The Wire. Just like Sobotka was witnessing the port of Baltimore and its potential crumble around him in season two, I'm witnessing the same happen to the Washington Wizards.
And yes, I realize that it's very ironic for me to use the word "witness" considering who the Wizards will play in about an hour.
By the way, while I'm making comparisons to The Wire, I might as well call Gilbert Arenas "Ziggy" (Sobotka's son in the show, not the cartoon character) … both self-destructive in nature and ultimately brought down by gun-play.
Last night's Sixers game seems like so long ago, obviously aided by Gilbert Arenas' indefinite suspension, but also because, among other things, I'm rushed into thinking about tonight's game against Cleveland.
So, even though that Philly game is a distant memory right now, might as well commemorate it … because it could be the last game we ever see Gilbert Arenas in a Wizards uniform.

France ratcheting up pressure on Syria over alleged chemical attack
- Uploaded by grimghost on Aug 27, 2013
- Views: 243
Many have criticized French President Francois Hollande for rushing to judgment, as he has openly blamed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for an alleged chemical attack despite having no concrete evidence to back up the claim. Syria has permitted UN inspectors to visit the site, and they are collecting data to determine who and what was behind a toxic attack which killed hundreds of people. Both sides of the Syrian conflict have denied responsibility. But many say that France is attempting to influence international opinion and create war hysteria so that the West can finally intervene militarily. Foreign Minister Fabius went on to say that he expects that the West will decide this week on whether or not to go to war in Syria. Many wonder if that gives the UN inspectors enough time to do their work, and many also wonder if the West truly cares about their results. Nearly all analysts believe that the Assad regime would have very little to gain by using chemical weapons, and very much to lose. But some say that from the beginning France, the former colonizer of Syria, has played the role of agitator instead of peace-maker. Analysts believe it's possible that foreign-backed insurgents may have committed the massacre in order to derail peace efforts. The opposition and their Western allies have already postponed a second peace conference in Geneva, but the UN has said it wants another round of talks to be held in October.

Men arrested for tractor theft
Published: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 at 12:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 at 12:48 p.m.
Two men were arrested on Monday in connection with a stolen tractor, according to a Sheriffs Office report.
Around 9 a.m. on Saturday, a man told deputies someone drove by his home with a tractor heading toward the Fort McCoy management area. Roughly 10 minutes later, he saw the same man walking by his home without the tractor. Thinking it was suspicious, he called the Sheriffs Office, which was investigating the theft of a tractor and a pressure washer on Aug. 2.
Deputies searched the area and talked to a man, who told them on Aug. 5, his nephew, Roy Bebee, and his friend, Levi Hemm, brought a tractor to his home and told him they got it while doing stucco work and wanted to know if he would purchase it.
The man said he typed up a receipt, which Bebee signed. He said Bebee told him the tractor was not stolen and he bought it for $800. The man said he fix it up and placed an ad on a classified advertising Web site.
Bebee found out and was upset and confronted the man about the impending sale, the man told the deputy. Bebee and Hemm bought it back from him for $600.
Hemm, 34, was later arrested, while 22-year-old Bebee turned himself in to the Marion County Jail. Both were charged with burglary, grand theft and dealing in stolen property.

Peter Schiff: What's Suppressing The Price Of Gold
The second installment of Peter Schiff's Gold Videocast for 2015 is out on YouTube. And Euro Pacific Capital's Schiff shared his thoughts about what's been suppressing the price of gold these days. He told viewers:
ObamaCare forces employers to provide insurance for full-time employees. As a result, employers are hiring more part-time workers than they normally would. And that is substantially influencing these numbers. In fact, the real reason that we have such a low unemployment rate and we're creating so many jobs, is because people are in effect sharing their job. We have a job sharing program…
Traders are ignoring all of the bad economic data that they should be focusing on, and instead just remaining fixated on the job numbers. And I think they are in position to be blindsided when the economy turns around…
So for now, it's the false belief that the economy is strong, and that the Fed is going to raise rates- based on a misunderstanding of what the jobs' numbers really mean- that is keeping a lid on the price of gold.
"False belief" plays an additional role in lower gold prices at this time, says Schiff. He added:
One other thing that is happening that should be lifting the prices of gold which is inflationary monetary policies all over the world. You know, more and more central banks are reducing their interest rates, launching their QE programs. Gold prices are rising in terms of those currencies. But the fact that everybody believes the dollar, the U.S. is going to be the lone holdout in the easy money parade- that is what's keeping gold prices from really going ballistic…
I think we're going to be leading that parade. Not only are we not going to raise interest rates or not raise them substantially- maybe we get a trivial rate hike although even there I think it's more likely that we won't. But we are going to be launching a new QE program- the Mother Of All QEs…
And when the markets realize this, then it's going to be like taking the lid off the pressure cooker when it comes to the price of gold. And it's going to be rising sharply. In the meantime, I continue to encourage people to accumulate as much physical gold and silver as they can before the rest of the financial community wakes up to this reality, and they're rushing to buy these metals at much higher prices.

Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner To Push Drastic Spending Cuts, Sales Tax Hike In Near Future?
Some local news outlets have been giving new Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner a hard time lately, claiming he's still in "campaign mode" and not providing much in the way of tackling the state's economic ills.
But yesterday, Illinoisans got a glimpse of one potential measure the Winnetka businessman may turn to for improving the state's finances. Jessie Hellmann and Ray Long reported on the Chicago Tribune website Thursday:
Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner pressed a bit harder Thursday for an expansion of the Illinois sales tax as part of an agenda to right the state's financial ship.
Using charts and graphs, Rauner explained how surrounding states use broader-based sales taxes than Illinois to take advantage of growing service economies. "We're not competitive," Rauner said.
The idea of expanding the state's sales tax base to include services, such as on auto repairs, dog grooming or haircuts, has been debated in Illinois since the late 1980s. Expansion efforts repeatedly have stalled in the face of heavy resistance, but Rauner outlined how he thinks Illinois is "out of balance" with other states.
"We are not thoughtful about this," Rauner said, adding that the Illinois sales tax is too high and too narrowly applied.
Expanding the sales tax is one of the few items Rauner repeatedly has mentioned as a part of an unspecific overhaul of the entire tax code, saying Illinois can't "just nibble around the edges."
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
It's going to take a whole lot more than a sales tax hike to turn around the state's economic fortunes. And Governor Rauner knows that.
So what other measures could be on his agenda for the near-term?
Rich Miller discussed the governor's visit to the University of Chicago on January 22 and wrote on the Crain's Chicago Business website the following day:
What is crystal clear is that he won't ask for any more revenues without first making deep and even drastic cuts.
The new governor pointed to flat population growth and flat job growth as the roots of the problem.
Without "booming" growth, he said, Illinois can never dig itself out of the hole it's in. And Rauner always HAS said that high taxes are a hindrance to growth.
Rauner singled out two items for his chopping block. First up, Medicaid spending.
"When you realize our job growth is flat, how do you pay for it?," Rauner said of Medicaid. "I want to do that, but that is not sustainable." Medicaid, which pays for everything from childbirth to nursing home care, consumes a quarter of the state's operating budget, and despite some real reforms almost two years ago, costs are continuing to rise. And that's a problem when next fiscal year's budget deficit is being pegged at a whopping $9 billion.
Rauner also claimed state employees make too much money, saying they earn more than private sector workers (which AFSCME rejects, pointing to a recent University of Illinois study) and are the third-highest paid in the country. The number of state workers is declining, Rauner noted, but payroll costs are still increasing. Their health insurance is based on "low contributions" from workers, but has a high cost. So, while workers aren't chipping in much, "you're chipping in a lot," he told his audience…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
"Deep and even drastic cuts." "Expansion of the Illinois sales tax."
It will be interesting to watch how Illinois Democrats- who hold veto-proof supermajorities in both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly- react to such proposals if Governor Rauner goes this route.
This could get ugly real quick…

CBO: Updated 2014-2024 Budget Projections Show Substantially Rising Budget Shorfalls, Federal Debt
That idea that the U.S. could someday resemble a "banana republic" might not be too far off the mark. From the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office website today:
As it usually does each spring, CBO has updated the baseline budget projections that it released earlier in the year…
Between 2015 and 2024, annual budget shortfalls are projected to rise substantially—from a low of $469 billion in 2015 to about $1 trillion from 2022 through 2024—mainly because of the aging population, rising health care costs, an expansion of federal subsidies for health insurance, and growing interest payments on federal debt. CBO expects that cumulative deficits during that decade will equal $7.6 trillion if current laws remain unchanged. As a share of GDP, deficits are projected to rise from 2.6 percent in 2015 to about 4 percent near the end of the 10-year period. By comparison, the deficit averaged 3.1 percent of GDP over the past 40 years and 2.3 percent in the 40 years before fiscal year 2008, when the most recent recession began. From 2015 through 2024, both revenues and outlays are projected to be greater than their 40-year averages as a percentage of GDP (see the figure below)…
In CBO's baseline projections, federal debt held by the public reaches 78 percent of GDP by 2024, up from 72 percent at the end of 2013 and twice the 39 percent average of the past four decades (see the figure below). As recently as the end of 2007, federal debt equaled just 35 percent of GDP…
Such high and rising debt would have serious negative consequences. Federal spending on interest payments would increase considerably when interest rates rose to more typical levels. Moreover, because federal borrowing would eventually raise the cost of investment by businesses and other entities, the capital stock would be smaller, and productivity and wages lower, than if federal borrowing was more limited. In addition, high debt means that lawmakers would have less flexibility than they otherwise would to use tax and spending policies to respond to unexpected challenges. Finally, high debt increases the risk of a fiscal crisis in which investors would lose so much confidence in the government's ability to manage its budget that the government would be unable to borrow at affordable rates…

ObamaCare Killed My Health Insurance Plan
From a letter I received in the mail this afternoon from my health insurance provider:
Changes are coming to the health insurance marketplace… The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is changing health insurance… You'll need to enroll in a plan that includes all ACA requirements. We'll give you information to help you choose a new plan.
Translation: ObamaCare killed your health insurance plan, Mr. Hill. Now go find another plan.
Which sucks, because it was a good plan that I worked really hard to find, and it was incredibly-reasonable in terms of cost. Dirt-cheap actually.
I've seen the projected costs of a new health insurance plan for me, and I think it's pretty safe to say having to enroll "in a plan that includes all ACA requirements" is going to cost me a lot more than what I'm currently paying for such insurance.
"Hope and Change." Change will be all that's left in these pockets pretty soon.

CBO: ObamaCare's Gross Costs Over 10 Years May Be Nearly Twice White House's Original Projections
Universal healthcare. A noble idea- if a nation can afford it.
As for "ObamaCare," the more time that passes since the Affordable Care Act was enacted on March 23, 2010, the more expensive the projected numbers are getting.
Howard Sheppard reported on the website of Central Pennsylvania FOX affiliate WPMT FOX 43 yesterday:
The gross costs of the national healthcare law rammed through Congress by President Barack Obama will reach an estimated $1.76 trillion over 10 years – nearly twice the amount originally projected. The figure, which the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) revealed on Wednesday, is bound to cause embarrassment to the administration as it comes just as debate on "Obamacare" is starting to heat up again, two weeks before the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on whether the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional…
Original White House estimates said the gross cost of the healthcare act would be $940 billion over a decade, but the CBO's new figures raise that figure to a shade under $1.5 trillion. For the 10 years from 2013-2022 that increases even further to $1.76 trillion.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Back on March 1, I noted that according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released February 26, ObamaCare will increase the long-term federal deficit by $6.2 trillion.
$6.2 trillion.
Considering the growing instability of the U.S. financial house of cards, one might wonder if the costs associated with universal health coverage won't be the straw that eventually breaks the camel's back.

Illinois Could Have Nearly $22 Billion In Unpaid Bills By FY 2018
It's been a while since I last blogged about the Civic Federation, an independent, non-partisan government research organization that provides analysis and recommendations on government finance issues for the Chicago region and State of Illinois. In late September 2011, the Chicago-based organization had just released its analysis of the enacted FY 2012 State of Illinois budget, and noted the financially-challenged state was expected to end the year with over $8 billion in unpaid bills from vendors, local governments, and others (related to business tax refunds, employee and retiree health care and Medicaid).
Over $8 billion in unpaid bills.
Fast forward to today. From a Civic Federation press release Monday:
Illinois' Unpaid Bill Backlog Projected to Reach $22 Billion by FY2018
State urgently needs long-term plan to address rising pension and Medicaid costs, loss of income tax revenues
(CHICAGO) – An analysis released today by the Civic Federation's Institute for Illinois' Fiscal Sustainability shows the State of Illinois is on track to accumulate nearly $22 billion in unpaid bills by FY2018 unless action is taken to curb rising pension costs and plan for increases in the Medicaid program…
"Nearly $22 billion in unpaid bills."
Illinois residents, get ready to bust out your wallets.

Illinois' Total Unfunded Liabilities: $275 Billion
The following bit about Illinois' total unfunded liabilities from a January 28 Investor's Business Daily editorial was so depressing to read that I originally planned to blog about it much earlier this morning- but needed to step away. From the IBD website:
A recent release by the Illinois Policy Institute shows this [$96.8 billion unfunded debt to five state pension systems] is only the tip of the iceberg and when you add in other liabilities such as $54 billion in unfunded liabilities for retiree health insurance and $15 billion in pension bonds that Gov. Pat Quinn and his immediate predecessor, former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, issued to avoid pension reform, Illinois' total unfunded liabilities amount to $275 billion, or $58,000 in debt for each and every household in the state.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
So what's it going to be, Illinois? Since a booming economy seems unlikely to return anytime soon, will the Democrat-dominated Illinois General Assembly finally enact significant spending cuts? Raise fees and taxes through the roof? Throw public sector retirees "under the bus?"
They're going to have to do something real quick.
Or watch the whole thing unravel.

Paul Volcker-Led Group: Illinois Could Have Trouble Meeting 'Its Population's Basic Needs'
Any remaining doubts I may have had about my home state of Illinois being in bad shape are gone after reading a new report from the non-partisan, Paul Volcker-led State Budget Crisis Task Force. In June 2011, former New York Lieutenant Governor Richard Ravitch and former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker assembled the task force to examine threats to near- and long-term fiscal sustainability in six U.S. states: California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Virginia. From the "Summary" portion of the Report of the State Budget Crisis Task Force: Illinois Report that was released Wednesday:
Illinois' budget is not fiscally sustainable. Despite recent progress and difficult choices, it is still in a deep hole. It cannot simultaneously continue current services, keep taxes at current levels, provide all promised benefits, and make needed investments in education and infrastructure. All of the major threats identified by the Task Force in its July 2012 report have contributed to Illinois' current problems and will contribute to future budget-balancing struggles.
Illinois has the worst unfunded pension liability of any state, an estimated $85 billion. It has underfunded its pension systems since the early 1980s. Contributions now must escalate rapidly if Illinois is to honor promised benefits; by fiscal year 2015, pension costs (and related debt service) could take up one-fourth of the state's resources. Illinois will not be able to fund other priorities unless it adopts serious pension reform.
Medicaid enrollment and expenditures in Illinois doubled between 2000 and 2011, growing far more rapidly than tax revenue. In June 2012 the state made major changes that reduce spending, but rising health care costs and the aging population will continue to drive costs upward. Without further reform, unsustainable Medicaid growth will crowd out other essential areas of the budget.
Illinois' debt is also crowding out the budget. In 2003 Illinois sold a record-breaking $10 billion in pension obligation bonds, and again in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, the state sold bonds to cover its required contributions. The result of pension borrowing is that Illinois' debt per capita is one of the highest of any state. Over 60 percent of Illinois' total outstanding debt is due to pension bonds.
Illinois has compounded its challenges with poor fiscal management and opaque budgeting. At the onset of the 2008 financial crisis, Illinois was essentially insolvent. In the years leading up to the crisis, Illinois borrowed and shifted money across years and funds to "balance" the budget, without providing sustainable resources to pay for ongoing commitments. Budget gimmicks became a standard practice. The state has perennially pushed its bills off to the future; at the start of fiscal year 2013, unpaid obligations from prior years were approximately $8 billion. Illinois did all this without any sort of long-term financial plan to restore balance, and without reserves. Illinois has been doing backflips on a high wire, without a net.
Narrow, eroding tax bases have contributed to Illinois' fiscal difficulties. State tax revenues were stagnant for at least a decade before the recent recession. Illinois enacted a major, temporary, income tax increase in 2011, but the additional revenues are being offset by reductions in federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) monies. Income tax revenues will not keep up with growth in the aging population because Illinois exempts retirement income. Other tax bases — on corporate income, cigarettes, and motor fuel — have been eroding and failing to keep up with economic growth. Illinois' sales tax rates are high, but its base is narrow and the state taxes relatively few services. Illinois tax revenues are not likely to grow enough to meet future needs.
Federal deficit reduction threatens Illinois, as other states. Federal dollars account for approximately a quarter of the state's all-funds budget and, after the expiration of federal stimulus spending, currently are $14.8 billion. Federal aid matches about 50 percent of Illinois' Medicaid spending, and constitutes about 35 percent of the budget of the Department of Human Services, 30 percent of transportation, 20 percent of K-12 education, and 20 percent of spending for environment and natural resources. Federal spending cuts will put these programs at risk.
Illinois' aging and deteriorating infrastructure is in urgent need of immediate repairs to meet basic standards of public safety. Beyond that, it needs expansion and modernization to accommodate future growth. Over the next several decades, Illinois' infrastructure needs will likely exceed $300 billion, yet the state does not have a comprehensive plan to address this critical need. There are real costs associated with underfunding of infrastructure: shipping and travel delays, congestion, pollution, and diminished economic growth.
The state's fiscal problems affect local governments in Illinois by shrinking revenue transfers at a time when these monies are most needed. The state has also proposed shifting funding responsibility for teachers' pensions from the state to local school districts. This would eliminate some incentives that can drive pension costs upward, but would put considerable pressure on local finances. Local governments struggle with their own revenue problems, unfunded pension liabilities, and bond rating downgrades. The state does minimal monitoring of local government finances, and budget cuts could further reduce this oversight.
Illinois' past fiscal choices and future threats challenge the state's ability to meet its population's basic needs, let alone accommodate future growth. Infrastructure is deteriorating. Education is threatened. Public safety, public health, and care for the needy all are at risk. Taxpayers and the state's competitiveness are also at risk.
Illinois needs to make tough choices — now…
"Illinois' past fiscal choices and future threats challenge the state's ability to meet its population's basic needs."
Basic needs? That's pretty bad.
This report comes on the heels of an analysis by the Tax Foundation, a non-partisan tax research group, in which Illinois residents were found to pay the 11th highest state-local tax burden in the United States in fiscal year 2010.
Early in 2011, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn hiked personal income taxes 67 percent.
It will be interesting (scary?) to see where the "Land of Lincoln" stands in next year's Annual State-Local Tax Burden Rankings, when FY 2011 is factored in.

New Demographic Data For Chicago Released
New demographic data for Chicago has been released by the U.S. Census Bureau- and it's enlightening. From the Census Bureau's "Newsroom" yesterday:
Chicago's Household Income at $43,628 in 2011, American Community Survey Shows
The median household income in Chicago was $43,628 in 2011, compared with the national figure of $50,502, according to statistics released today from the 2011 American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, 20.4 percent of people in Chicago did not have health insurance coverage, compared with 15.1 percent nationally. A selected profile of Chicago appears below, including statistics on education, housing and the foreign-born population.
"The American Community Survey provides a wide range of important statistics about our nation's people, housing and economy for all communities in the country – including Chicago," said Thomas Mesenbourg, the Census Bureau's acting director. "The results are used by everyone from retailers, homebuilders and police departments, to town and city planners."
The survey is the only source of local estimates for most of the 40 topics it covers, such as educational attainment, housing, employment, commuting, language spoken at home, nativity, ancestry and selected monthly homeowner costs down to the smallest communities.
Other selected highlights for Chicago:
• In 2011, 50.1 percent of the preschool age population was enrolled in school, which was not significantly
different from 47.4 percent in the nation as a whole.
• Among Chicago's 25-and-older population, 80.7 percent completed high school or more, compared with 85.9 percent in the nation as a whole.
• Meanwhile, 33.5 percent of the 25-and-older population had a bachelor's degree or higher, compared with 28.5 percent nationally.
• In 2011, the median value for an owner-occupied home was $228,300. In the nation as a whole, the value was $173,600.
• In 2011, the median gross rent (rent plus utilities) was $905, compared with $871 in the nation as a whole.
Foreign-Born Population
• About 21.4 percent of people in Chicago were foreign-born, compared with 13.0 percent in the nation as a whole.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Median household income several thousand dollars below the national average.
Yet median value for owner-occupied homes more than $50,000 above the national average.
And today it's being reported that unemployment across Illinois rose to 9.1 percent in August, the third straight month of increases in the state.
I wonder if more storm clouds aren't on the horizon for residential real estate in the "Windy City?"

Report: Health Care Expenses To Rise 8.5 Percent In 2012
Sounds like health care costs could be heading significantly higher next year. From MarketWatch's Russ Britt on Wednesday:
Employers can expect to see an acceleration in health-care cost increases in 2012, with expenses rising 8.5% next year, according to a study released Wednesday by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The 30-page study says that the recession put a lid on health-care costs, which should keep the inflation rate to 8% for 2011, but those price hikes are getting steeper as the recovery gains momentum.
"Now, a few months into 2011, employers and health plans say utilization remains somewhat deflated, but they're already worried about a rebound in 2012," the study says. "Add to this recessionary effect the changes brought on by health reform, and the variables affecting cost trends in 2012 become an interesting blend of reactions."
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
The study follows a report from March that predicted a number of U.S. companies would be altering their healthcare plans next year. CNN Money senior writer Parija Kavilanz wrote back on March 10:
Come 2012, millions of Americans who get health care coverage through their employer should brace for some big changes.
Charging higher contributions for dependent coverage and dropping retiree accounts, are among the steps companies are considering as they fight rising medical costs and new expenses tied to health reform, according to a new report Thursday from human resources consulting firm Towers Watson.
In addition to the aforementioned changes, Kavilanz noted other steps being looked at include "spouse penalties," when an employee's husband or wife has access to health insurance through their own employer but refuses it to be added to his or her spouse's plan, and cracking down on unhealthy lifestyles.

butterscotch pudding
One of my worst cooking traits is that when I get frustrated with a recipe, it can take me years to get back to it. I mean, I'm theoretically too old to be having tantrums, kitchen or other, but there's no other way to describe this behavior where I get frustrated, throw my jangly measuring spoons in the sink and huff off to gaze at jeans I could probably fit half a thigh into, which is how I mope.* Sure, you could just say that I need a little space, a break, it's-not-you-it's-me from the recipe so I can gain some perspective, and consider other approaches but six years? That is how long it's been since I last attempted to share a recipe for old-school, dead-simple butterscotch pudding from scratch which refused to set. A six-year tantrum. (Fine, I snuck some pudding pops in there, but it's so cold today, I cannot even look at them.)


text: Nobody works in a vacuum. People are influenced and they do also influence others. So I just don't see how the ideal of working only to please onesself is even possible...? Indeed one can try, but... it's just not possible to isolate our own work in that way, in my opinion. Even if it were possible, would it be healthy?! Doesn't pleasing yourself too much make you go blind?

I'm wondering about some emulsion formulas and patents that have the halide and/or silver nitrate solutions warmed up to about the same temp as the emulsion kettle. So instead of having these solutions at room temp, they are warmed up.
Is this to have the solution already at working temp so that more silver ions stay in solution instead of precipitating because they are cold and then they possibly redissolve as the grains warm up as they mix into the warmer solution?

Trail Report For: Florence County - 03/16/2015
Trail Report: Florence County
Reported By: Blue Ox Trai Riders
Date of Report: 03/16/2015
Trail Conditions: Trails Closed
Snow Cover: 0-7″
Area Report: We have had a wonderful snowmobile season this year. Trails are now closed to both ATV's and snowmobiles. Maybe we will see you in December again for another great season.
News & Events: Raffle tickets will be available through club members and sponsoring businesses with drawings being held on Labor Day 2015. Thank you again to all of you that have supported our great club and our valiant efforts at keeping these trails the best in the State.
Click Here to order a Florence County, WI snowmobile trail map.
(Please include your Name, Address, City, State and Zip with your map request.)
Snowmobiling Information
The Florence County Snowmobile Club (Blue Ox Trail System) was established in the late 1960s by four men: Tony DeMuri, Paul McCraw, Elmer Washburn and Chucky Kinnear.
In 2010 the Florence County ATV Club disbanded and joined forces with the Florence County Snowmobile Club to form a "new" club called THE FLORENCE COUNTY BLUE OX TRAIL-RIDERS. We feel this gives us the advantage of keeping the trails in the best shape for our riders both winter and summer. We are proud of our trails and invite all of you to come see if it is true that our trails are the best kept secret of the north!
The trail system today includes 140 miles of funded trails and approximately 180 total miles of trail. This system includes all of the trails in Florence County and are maintained by the Florence County Snowmobile Club. The club works hand in hand with Florence County, State of Wisconsin, Federal Government and private landowners in providing what we believe is one of the best trail systems in the state.
The members of the club are all unpaid volunteers and are responsible for grooming, brushing, signing and re-routes as well as all maintenance on the grooming equipment. The Florence County Snowmobile Club owns and operates 4 groomers which we use to maintain all of the snowmobile trails in Florence County. We have 4 trail coordinators that set up their own grooming schedules in their area of the county. This means that at any one time, there could be as many as 4 groomers on the trail, so please ride safely and watch out for the groomers!
The volunteers work very hard to provide and maintain this trail system so please let them know that you appreciate their effort. There would not be any trails in Wisconsin if it was not for the volunteers, and they are essential to the continued success of snowmobiling in the state. Also, about 50% of the trail system in Florence County crosses private landowner's property. Please respect their property and stay on the trail. As president, I cannot tell you how many times each winter I have to explain and apologize for the actions of irresponsible snowmobilers.
The Wild Rivers Interpretive Center, located on the snowmobile trailhead, offers free over night parking in the lower parking lot. The Wild Rivers Interpretive Center is located at the intersection of US 2 and Hwy 101/70.
Drive safe and Responsibly. If you are not a member of the club, you should join one today. "United we Trail – Divided we Fail".

Beauty and the Bass: Eight Great Female Bass Players
Beauty and the Bass: Eight Great Female Bass Players
This week's Guitar Girl'd column gives you the low-down on eight queens of the low end.
Thirty years. That's how much time has passed since Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore formed Sonic Youth. Once the princess of New York's '80s underground music scene and now a hip cool mom with a clothing line, Kim has powered through the years with finesse, flair and a freakin' hot bod.
Sonic Youth recently completed a tour this past November in South America. The future of the band is up in the air following the marriage separation between Kim and Thurston. Whatever happens, Sonic Youth has made its mark in musical history and none of it would have been possible without Kim.
Here's a video of Sonic Youth playing live on The South Bank Show in 1989:

What!!! No Tina Weymouth????

Let's not forget Julie Slick of The Adrian Belew Power Trio or Gail Ann Dorsey of David Bowie fame (no pun intended)

Thanks for the ideas. I think part two is definitely in order!

Hey how about :
1. Kathy Valentine - The Go-go's
2. Janice Marie Johnson - A Taste Of Honey (that bass line in Boogie Oogie Oogie is a bona fide classic)
3. Carole Kaye - Wrecking Crew
Great bass players. Beautiful people too!

In the San Francisco area - Ruth Davies gets my vote for both beauty and prowess on the bass. Stunning jazz player!!

Hmmmm...since I am in the San Francisco area, I should check her out for sure! Thanks!

Another glaring omission: Kira Roessler from Black Flag.

Cool. I will check her out. Thanks!

Dear Laura,
BTW, I like the fact you respond to all the feedback. Considerate of you.

Laura, are you nuts? You left out Carol Kaye? Carol has played on over 1000 top ten songs. She played guitar on La bamba with Ritchie Valens. She has done more for women and bass and guitar than any woman in history. She is still making records, teaching and sometimes playing live. You are grossly remiss for leaving her off of your list.

While it's true that I might be nuts, I'm fully aware that there are tons more great female bass players that are not on this list. So thanks for the heads up and I'm thinking that part two might be in order!
