Peter Dejong, Associated Press
AMSTERDAM — Seven paintings by artists including Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet that are worth more than a hundred million dollars were stolen from a museum in Rotterdam in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The heist at the Kunsthal museum is one of the largest in years in the Netherlands, and is a stunning blow for the private Triton Foundation collection, which was being exhibited publicly as a group for the first time.
The collection was on display as part of celebrations surrounding Kunsthal's 20th anniversary.
Police spokeswoman Willemieke Romijn said investigators were reviewing videotapes of the theft, which took place around 3 a.m. local time, and calling for any witnesses to come forward. Police have yet to reveal how the heist took place.
Indications are that the perpetrators of the crime knew which pieces they were after.
Chris Marinello, director of The Art Loss Register, which tracks stolen artworks, said it was clear some of the most valuable pieces in the collection were targeted.
"Those thieves got one hell of a haul," Marinello said.
Marinello said the items taken could even be worth "hundreds of millions of euros" — if sold legally at auction. However, he said that was now impossible, as the paintings have already been registered internationally as stolen.
The stolen paintings were Picasso's 1971 "Harlequin Head"; Monet's 1901 "Waterloo Bridge, London" and "Charing Cross Bridge, London"; Henri Matisse's 1919 "Reading Girl in White and Yellow"; Paul Gauguin's 1898 "Girl in Front of Open Window"; Meyer de Haan's "Self-Portrait," around 1890, and Lucian Freud's 2002 work "Woman with Eyes Closed."
Marinello said the thieves have limited options available, such as blackmailing the owners or the museum or the insurers. They could conceivably sell the paintings in the criminal market too, though any sale would likely be a small fraction of their potential auction value.
The Triton Foundation is a collection of avant-garde art put together by multimillionaire Willem Cordia, an investor and businessman, and his wife, Marijke Cordia-Van der Laan.
The Kunsthal museum is a display space that has no permanent collection of its own — the name means "art gallery" in Dutch.
The Cordia family collection includes works by more than 150 famed artists. Others whose work was on show include Paul Cezanne, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Edgar Degas and Andy Warhol.
Curators of the Cordia family collection aim to have the works on display for the public, and pieces have been shown in the past.
The museum is closed Tuesday as the police continue with their investigation.

SRINAGAR, India Authorities in Indian Kashmir will free jailed protesters and reduce the number of checkpoints in the main city Srinagar, a senior security official said on Wednesday.
But they put off a decision over whether to limit the scope of a hated security law that the Indian military enforces in the Muslim-majority region to curb persistent unrest.
The move was part of a federal government initiative to defuse tension in Kashmir, which has been in a siege-like state of strikes, protests and curfew for months, threatening to undermine rule from New Delhi.
More than 100 people have been killed and scores arrested in protests since June -- among the biggest since an armed separatist rebellion broke out in Kashmir in 1989.
"The state government will immediately release youth and students who have been arrested for stone pelting," B.R. Sharma, Kashmir's home secretary, told a news conference after a security meeting. "It was decided to remove 16 bunkers in Srinagar city ... It is a significant beginning."
He did not say how many detainees would be released.
The federal government has also said a team will soon begin a dialogue with a broad cross-section of Kashmiris, including political parties, aiming to restore the credibility of Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in the face of growing discontent.
But Wednesday's decisions were unlikely to appease many Kashmiris, who have been looking for revocation of a widely-hated security law that gives the military sweeping powers to search, arrest or shoot protesters.
More than half a million security personnel are deployed in Kashmir, most of which, for years, has been declared "disturbed", a precondition for the application of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act.
The government had also last week said it would review the possibility of limiting the extent of the security act.
But on Wednesday, Kashmiri authorities announced only the formation of a committee to review the law's application and submit a report to the government.
Despite widespread curfews, separatists have staged three months of strikes and protests. The protests have subsided for about a week now.
Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan, both of which claim the region in full. They have fought two of their three wars over it. Kashmiri separatists in India want to carve out an independent homeland or merge with predominantly Muslim Pakistan.

A civil court cleared former Reserve Primary Fund executives Bruce Bent Sr. and Bruce Bent II of fraud charges Monday, ending a three-year case in which the Securities and Exchange Commission accused them of misleading investors about the fund's exposure to Lehman Brothers.
While the jury of seven in New York's Southern District unanimously cleared the Bents of fraud, they handed down a guilty verdict against their firm, Reserve Management Co., and Resrv Partners.
The Bents said through a spokesman that they "acknowledged the jury's verdict" but disagreed with some of the findings, and may pursue an appeal.
"What transpired over those unprecedented 36 hours back in September 2008, following the collapse of Lehman was something we and the entire world financial market, had never experienced," said the Bents. "We are proud that, through our efforts, fund investors ultimately received back more than 99 cents on every dollar invested in September 2008."
The day before Lehman's bankruptcy, the fund held $785 million in Lehman debt securities. The SEC accused the Bents and Reserve Management Co. of falsely reassuring investors that their fund was intact, and grossly understating the amount of redemptions they were receiving.
Related: A look back at the original case
"Today's verdict of liability sends the message that fund executives cannot withhold from investors and trustees key information about their fund's vulnerability," said Robert Khuzami, the SEC's director of enforcement. "This case, along with our actions against more than 100 other entities and individuals, demonstrates our continuing commitment to pursuing cases arising out of the financial crisis."
Investors seek out money market funds because they are designed to maintain a stable price of $1 per share. But the Reserve Primary Fund "broke the buck" on Sept. 16, 2008, the day after Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, meaning its net asset value fell below $1 a share.

Defense Budget:
Improved Reviews Needed to Ensure Better Management of Obligated Funds

As of September 30, 2001, the Navy's operating appropriations had $2.1 billion in unliquidated--or unpaid--funds that were obligated during fiscal years 1997-99. Unliquidated obligations that are no longer needed to pay for goods and services tie up funds that could be used for other permissible purposes. In addition, inaccurate obligation data result in misstatement of budgetary information. Because of the large dollar value, we examined the Navy's management of unliquidated obligations. Specifically, we reviewed a statistically representative sample of the Navy's $1.4 billion in unliquidated operating obligations valued at $50,000 or more for fiscal years 1997-99 to determine whether these obligations were (1) properly accounted for and (2) reviewed in accordance with DOD regulations.
We estimated that $929 million of the $1.4 billion in unliquidated operating obligations valued at $50,000 or more for fiscal years 1997-99 was not properly accounted for (see table). Specifically, the Navy failed to deobligate $452 million of unliquidated operating obligations that was no longer needed and potentially available for other permissible purposes, such as contract modifications. In addition, $147 million of unliquidated operating obligations was inaccurately recorded because of problem disbursements--payments not properly matched to the correct obligation. A further $330 million was inaccurately recorded due to unresolved errors, such as bills that were not processed properly. The remaining $489 million in unliquidated operating obligations was properly accounted for and still needed for the original purpose. An estimated two-thirds of the unliquidated operating obligations over $50,000 were not properly accounted for as a result of the Navy's failure to review such obligations three times each year as required by DOD regulations. In addition, the Navy did not fully adhere to the regulation that unliquidated operating obligations of any value be reviewed at least once each year. Consequently, the Navy did not know how much money was tied up in unliquidated operating obligations that could potentially be used for other appropriate needs, and its budgetary reports to Congress and financial statements were inaccurate. Navy fund managers chose to selectively review their operating obligations, citing obstacles such as difficulties in obtaining accurate payment and billing data and the extensive length of time needed to review large numbers of obligations. Further, the Navy did not apply existing internal control activities to ensure that fund managers performed obligation reviews in accordance with DOD regulations, nor did it hold fund managers accountable for the accuracy and completeness of the reviews.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Navy has implemented improvements to its unliquidated operating obligation review procedures.

The Killer Inside Me stars Casey Affleck as Lou Ford, a sheriff and murderous sociopath. Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson, Bill Pulman, and Liam Aiken co-star. Audiences who have seen The Killer Inside Me, based on the novel by Jim Thompson, tend to point to the film's graphic and horrific nature. Although, you don't get a huge sense of that from the sleek trailer. The teaser for Winterbottom's film emphasizes the suggestion or looming threat of violence, with powerful results. The shot of a gloved hand hopelessly outstretched to a foot is haunting in its simple action.

Sick stunt or daring charity campaign? Parkinson's disease sufferer 'does Harlem Shake' in Dutch film to raise awareness
- Dutch Parkinson's Society released video to raise awareness
- It features a man shaking uncontrollably in an office before falling over
- Online reactions to the shocking video were mixed
An advert that uses the 'Harlem Shake' internet craze to raise awareness of Parkinson's disease has sparked controversy because it features a sufferer staggering about as the music plays.
The Dutch Parkinson's Society released the video, called 'Worst Shake Ever', that shows society chairman Eric Roos, who did not take his medication in order to make the video, shaking out of control in an office kitchen while the song Harlem Shake by Baauer plays.
The video imitates the Harlem Shake internet meme, which are short videos typically beginning with one person gently bopping alone for the first 15 seconds while everyone else in the room ignores them. Then the bass line drops and everyone goes wild, doing crazy dance moves around the room.
Scroll down for video
The Dutch Parkinson's Society have released a spoof Harlem Shake Video to raise awareness of the debilitating effects of the disease. Society chairman Eric Roos (right) starts shaking as the music plays
In this version, when the bass drops, Mr Roos collapses and people in the office rush to help him.
The clip, created by advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi, ends with slogan: 'Shaking, fun for some … daily struggle for others.'
A statement on the charity's website said: 'With this the society and its chairman want to show that Parkinson's is much more than a shaking hand or foot.
'The intention of the video is that it shocks the viewer, because a lot of people don't know what the daily reality of Parkinson's is.'
Online observers were mixed about the
video. Some felt it was in poor taste, but many others felt it was a
bold and effective way of spreading awareness of the condition.
Gawker user MichRo99, posted: 'This is horrible', while Kathy's Crown said: 'So, I have PD (Parkinson's disease) and my father died from same a year ago last Saturday. I can't even...'
Some say the publicity stunt is tasteless, but others defended it as a clever and memorable way of showing what the disease does to people
Collapse: The video ends with Mr Roos falling to the floor, before his colleagues come rushing to his aid
Message: The society says it wants to challenge the misconception that Parkinson's is simply a shaking hand or foot
However, Miss Norma Desmond said: 'I don't understand how people feel that this is making fun of people with PD (Parkinson's disease) when people with PD obviously participated in making it. Are they not allowed to do anything except be tragic all the time?'
Another, called Cerne, said: 'Wait. When did it become offensive for a disease advocacy group to demonstrate the effects of that disease?'
The video has since been removed because of copyright issues with the music company that owns the rights to the song used.
The Harlem Shake was created by a group of teenage boys on the Sunshine Coast of Australia.
Parkinson's Disease is a chronic neurological disorder.
People with the condition don't have enough of a chemical called dopamine because some nerve cells in their brain have died. This affects the way the brain co-ordinates the movements of the muscles in different parts of the body.
disease mainly develops in the over 50s. About 5 in 1,000 people in
their 60s, and about 40 in 1,000 people in their 80s have the condition.
The main symptoms are slowness of movement, stiffness of muscles and
shaking. These tend to slowly worsen with time although the rate varies
from patient to patient.
The condition is diagnosed from the symptoms shown by the patient.
It also increases your risk of dementia. About half of people with PD
develop dementia at some stage. Depression is also common among
There is currently no cure. Drugs and physiotherapy can treat symptoms. There have also been recent promising trials using deep brain stimulation.

Best Supplement for Your Vision
Posted by Reviewer2963268 on Jun 24, 2011
Astaxanthin is getting a reputation for being the best thing for your vision. This product adds other antioxidants like vitanmin A, bilberry, lutein and zeaxanthin for an unbeatable combination!
best product for eye nurishing ever!
Posted by Reviewer2389958 on Jun 17, 2011
as I'm fan of other Nutrex supplements, it was just logical to reach for this product. As from recently I'm working with a computer all day long, and as I didn't had that kind of job before, my eyes got really tired and I also get headaches from looking that much at a screen. Then I started to rest my eyes more often with looking far away, also spend as much free time in nature. On top of that, this really fine&safe product made my eye-truobles dissapear! So, I would highly reccomend it to anyone who forces their eyes in any way.

Picture: Michael Pitt and guest The Times BFI London Film Festival: Funny Games - screening held at the Odeon West End -- Arrivals London, England...
MICHAEL PITT shunned method acting in LAST DAYS, refusing even a sip of beer while playing his drug-addled KURT COBAIN-esque character Blake.
The 24-year-old actor originally planned to shoot the entire movie in a state of inebriation, but is now relieved he resisted temptation.
He says, "I have friends who have been in situations... It was something I could recreate.
"Initially, I had the bright idea that I was going to do the whole film drunk or something, which thank God I didn't.
"I was probably the cleanest I've ever been for that film."
The day Michelle elected Barack as her future husband.
There are more superheroes than ever in the latest Avengers movie, Captain America: Civil War.
'Peep Show' may be dead, but Mitchell & Webb are not.

To manage the bride's stress levels and prevent her from turning into Bridezilla, opt for a hen do that will leave her feeling relaxed and rejuvenated rather than saggy and baggy after a night of intoxication.Start the day off with a few pampering hours at a spa to make sure the bride will be glowing on her big day, suggests Jeanine Visser, spa manager at Ey Spa in the V&A Waterfrtont. Start off with a steam and sauna and then body exfoliation to get rid of toxins. Then a full body massage and facial to leave her feeling relaxed. Finish the pampering session off with a mani & pedi and scalp massage. A champagne sunset cruise will be sure to keep the magical day going. Many places like the Waterfront Boat Company do private sunset cruises and they can offer a range of healthy and light snacks which you can choose from to make sure the bride doesn't overdo it before her big day. Why not take the ultimate Hen Do further and get the girls to book a suite at a 5 star hotel, like African Pride 15 on Orange. Have a feast of delicious foods and drinks waiting so you can all tuck in. Remember, you don't want the bride to be feeling bloated on her big day so don't overdo it on the champagne and make sure she drinks loads of water. The 21st century hen 'do is where you opt for a glowing bride rather than puffy and tired after a big night bride. It also is assured to be a memorable day that will leave tongues wagging. *For more info on bridal packages visit www.eyspa.co.za

Yesterday I received this wonderful little quilt from Marian Edwards, who lives in Australia. Marian is a prolific quilter, who makes tiny quilts as well as great big ones. She is just finishing up a gorgeous Dear Jane, and that is no small feat.
Enlarge the photo to see the adorable prints and the teeny tiny hand quilting stitches in every piece. It now holds the record for the smallest quilt I own. Thank you, Marian (and Lori, for hosting the swap) — I love it!
Nine Patch & Sawtooth Quilt
Marian Edwards, 2016
machine pieced & hand quilted
11″ x 14″
Does your partner help with household chores? I am lucky to be married to someone who does almost all of the cooking and lots of other things I won't mention, because you would begin to wonder what I contribute — besides quilts, of course.
Anyway, it's fairly unusual to see men (even bird men) participating in these days of the week type designs. To make the designs representative of my relationship, the male bird would need to appear alone in some of the motifs.
Since I first began using vintage and antique fabrics to make my quilts, my sources have been old tops, blocks and scraps that I carefully pick apart. Most of the tops I purchase have issues related to condition and construction, so I never feel guilty about taking them apart. Until last year, only one top I purchased was kept intact.
Then I got the bug. I like to blame Ann Champion and Tim Latimer, who each have amazing collections of vintage and antique tops. As a result of their inspiration, there are now a dozen old tops in my trunk that I plan to quilt. Of course, you might think that someone who already has a pile of her own tops to quilt would hesitate to go down this path, but when I find a beautiful old top at a reasonable price, I feel like I have to save it.
This top is one of two purchased from the same estate sale. It is all hand stitched using very small flying geese units (2 1/2″ wide) in strips separated by a gorgeous dark blue print (not quite as dark as indigo, but darker than cadet), and it has a chrome yellow design that reminds me of a neon print. It's crisp and clean, and big at 74″ x 89″.
Anyone have an idea of the decade this top was made? Click on the photos to see the individual prints.
It's unusual to see geometric or "Egyptian" embroidery designs for baby clothing, but I love the way these patterns look in the article's cute illustration. Here's what Winifred Worth had to say about her design.
Anything for baby finds a ready response in every needleworker's heart, and the daintiness of this design should especially appeal to you. The border [the last design] is given in motif so arranged that you can transfer it any length you wish while the collar and body decorations [the first three designs] are shown complete.
The Design is worked out in more or less Egyptian style using outline for the angle lines and solid stitch for the leaves and auxilliary squares. Nothing could be more appropriate for a baby's birthday gift than a daintily embroidered dress.
I'm relieved that the creative part of this project is over, because I seriously could not think up one more design. There's a replacement sun in this group — you might remember that I already made one, but my daughter nixed it. I have one more square to make, but it will be the quilt label, and I'll probably just appliqué my initials and the date.
I purchased a charm group of 1930s reproduction 6″ squares to back the blocks, because I didn't want to use my vintage fabric. The appliquéd blocks and backing are sewn right sides together, and turned inside out just like a pillow. I don't even have to whipstitch the opening because it'll be sewn up when I blanket stitch the edges with perle cotton in the next step.
These monogram letters were published in two Sunday issues of the Oregon Daily Journal in 1917. The designer suggested that the letters would be suitable for for marking sheets, pillow cases, table cloths, buffet and dresser scarves, and that they should be padded heavily before working in satin stitch. There are no instructions — it's just assumed the reader knows how to pad satin stitching. Fortunately, we have access to this great Mary Corbet video to learn how to make perfect padded satin stitches.
Oh, and some of those really tiny holes . . . I'd fill them in. I'm looking at you, A, E K, and L.
To print, click on each of the 2 images to open a full-sized pdf file. Scroll to the bottom and click on the download button. Open the downloaded file in Acrobat Reader, and select "poster" in the print dialog box. This will allow you to tile print the original pattern size on multiple sheets of letter sized paper in portrait mode, which you can then trim and tape or glue together.
This isn't actually a Work in Progress anymore, since the little quilt is finished, and these photos were taken before washing and drying, so the quilt is a bit more crinkly now. I think you can make out the hand quilting if you click to enlarge the photos.
I'm excited to send this quilt to its new owner, to receive my quilt, and to see all of the quilts made by the other 89 participants in this year's quilt swap organized by Lori at Humble Quilts.
Old Italian Block Doll Quilt
Martha Dellasega Gray, 2016
machine pieced, hand quilted
15″ x 18″
Here are four hand quilting patterns cut from vintage magazine pages — part of a large box of quilting ephemera recently purchased at a thrift shop. The published patterns gave only a portion of the design, but I have put the pieces together so you can get a better idea of how they look. The first three patterns are 15″, while the feather design is 12″.
To print, click on the images to open a full-sized pdf file. Scroll to the bottom and click on the download button. Open the downloaded file in Acrobat Reader, and select "poster" in the print dialog box. This will allow you to tile print the original pattern size on multiple sheets of letter or legal sized paper, which you can then trim and tape or glue together.
This is the doll quilt I am making for Lori's (Humble Quilts) annual swap — the completed top can be found in an earlier post.
When I'm creating a doll-sized quilt, the most important thing for me is scale — in the design, prints, and quilting. Although I know it's practically impossible to make a doll quilt that looks exactly like a full-sized quilt in miniature, that's always my goal. So, I try to make quilts no larger than 18″ x 24″; draft blocks that are 3″ or less; select prints that have a smallish design; and make the quilting stitches as tiny as I possibly can (this is the hardest part — so many seams!).
My quilting pattern is pretty simple — double footballs in the diagonal pieces, a tiny circle in the center square, and 2 nested circles in the triangle pieces. I am using my 10″ Edmunds half hoop, which makes hand quilting edges so much easier (Edmunds also makes a larger version for big quilts).
I was so pleased to see this pattern in my catalog, because I was able to identify 15 vintage quilt blocks I had purchased in this pattern. Later I found the original pattern, so for this McCall's Monday I'm able to provide scans of the actual transfers. The pattern instructions from the envelope back are located here.
The quilt I made with my vintage blocks was one of my earliest posts back in January of 2009.
"I bought these cute vintage applique blocks on ebay. Because the blocks were small, I used some old scraps to make a crazy border around each block to enlarge them — also I thought this would look better since two of the animal blocks would be in the corners. The alternate blocks are also vintage scraps stitched to a muslin foundation. My Bernina 1000 is a mechanical machine that works perfectly well, but it only has a few stitches and blanket stitch is not one of them. I know blanket stitch would have looked much better, but I'm not buying a new sewing machine just for that. I've done this type of crazy pattern before, and it's lots of fun and a good way to use up small scraps. I added an embroidered outline to the animals (to make them stand out a little more) and quilted the top with 2 strands of black DMC which I thought would show up more than quilting thread and would also match the rest of the quilt. This was the first time I tried using embroidery thread for quilting and it was easier than I thought. Just for fun, I made a sort of crazy binding."

It would appear that Mr. Octavian Borges is Taserproof. Check this out, from The Courier Mail:
A North Queensland man, aged 21, has stunned police by proving impervious to a Taser deployment and casually removing the barbs – not once but three times.
Octavian Borges casually removed the barbs fired into his upper body by police during a tense situation at Townsville on Monday.

What are they going to do with all the equipment that is in the old South Junior High School that is going to be demolished, such as their leftover chairs, tables, computer desks, computer chairs, file cabinets, book carts, things of that sort?
According to SJHS Principal Will Fernandez, about half of the furniture at the new school will be brand new. Fernandez said he has been looking through the school's existing inventory of desks, file cabinets, podiums and other school furniture to determine what should be kept and what should be discarded. "Anything still good we are trying to use," he said. He said the school district might use the rest of the furniture. If not, it will likely end up in the Dumpster.

Here's the question you clicked on:
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 1}\frac{ 2x+3x^2........+(n+1)x^n - \frac{ n(n+3) }{ 2 } }{ x-1 }\]
what is that written ? n(n+3)/2 ?
please confirm ?
did you try LH rule?
seems legitimate to me..
Yup..I Tried...
n is Constant Ryt ?
Yes n is constant
did u get the answer ?
the derivative is \[ \frac{n x^{1+n}}{-1+x}+\frac{2 x \left(-1+x^n\right)}{-1+x}-\frac{x^2 \left(-1+x^n\right)}{(-1+x)^2} \]
We could find the sum of this first and then apply L'Hospital's \[2x+3x^2+....(n+1)x^n\]
looks like we could use this formula directly http://planetmath.org/ArithmeticGeometricSeries.html
\[S=2x+3x^2+...(n+1)x^n\] \[xS=2x^2+3x^3....(n+1)x^{n+1}\] \[(1-x)S=2x+\underline{x^2+x^3+x^4....+x^n}-(n+1)x^{n+1}\] This is GP
the sum would be http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=differentiate+%28x^2+%28x^n-1%29%2F%28x-1%29%29 that's you would get indeterminate form ... you can apply L'hopital rule after that
you should be getting \[ \frac{1}{3} n \left(2+3 n+n^2\right) \] or since you know you get indeterminate form ... you could apply L'hopital rule from the start. that's way easier.
this is equal to http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Sum [n%28n%2B1%29%2C+{n%2C+1%2C+n}]&dataset=&equal=Submit
where is you confusion in this question??
Apply L-hospital Rule...differentiate numerator and denominator with respect to variable which is x here ... |dw:1358023261199:dw| |dw:1358023336162:dw|
2+ 6 + 12 ............... = n(n+1)
my picture is not clear here.. now |dw:1358023498420:dw|
got it..:)
solve it..and find L

TAMMS, Ill. -- The scheduled closing of the Tamms Correctional Center on Friday will not take place and employees are to report to duty until further notice, according to letters sent to the 320 or so prison workers last week.
Meanwhile, a Southern Illinois judge has agreed to extend through the end of the month a halt of inmate transfers as an employee union and the state -- which intends to slash millions from its budget through the closing of Tamms and other correctional facilities like it -- work through disagreements over how safe such prisoner moves are.
"We're just trying to get into the veto session this fall and continue to fight," said Lt. Toby Oliver, a 15-year prison employee and union representative. "There's still hope that the prison can stay open. We haven't given up hope yet."
Alexander County Judge Charles Cavaness' recent ruling to extend the halt of transfers came after attorneys for the state of Illinois and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees agreed to the extension until a scheduled hearing can take place in Cairo, Ill., on Friday. A status update is scheduled via conference call Monday.
Gov. Pat Quinn is seeking to close the state's only supermax prison at Tamms, a women's lockup at Dwight and various other correction sites. Quinn has said the Tamms prison is underused and too expensive. The union asked the judge to order the state to stop inmate transfers until the union is certain it can be done safely.
But Oliver said Sunday that the workers hope the Illinois Legislature can stop the closure altogether after it convenes for the fall veto session after the Nov. 6 election.
Oliver agrees that moving the supermax prisoners, who have been described as the "worst of the worst," to lesser, older facilities is not safe. Some would be moved to Pontiac Correctional Center, he said, which was built in 1871, is not modern enough to hold them. Menard Correctional Center, another likely destination for the inmates, opened its doors in 1878.
"We have a facility here that was built in 1997 and has all the things to safely house them," Oliver said. "We've got several here that have escaped from the other facilities. They're older facilities. It's just not safe to put them there. That's what this prison was designed to do."
Quinn has been pushing to close facilities in Dwight, Carbondale, Chicago and Decatur and youth centers in Joliet and Murphysboro. The Democratic governor used his veto pen in June to cut funding for the facilities, despite an outcry that the cuts would severely damage the economy of an already economically depressed Southern Illinois.
