Gov. Pat Quinn seized an opportunity Bruce Rauner did not: an opportunity to throw mud on convicted felon and longtime Springfield Republican powerbroker Bill Cellini (pictured).
Cellini, recently released from prison, attended an event for Rauner, Quinn's November opponent, in Springfield Tuesday. Cellini praised Rauner, who, when pressed by reporters, said he did not know Cellini was there and would not comment about him.
"I did serve as state treasurer, and I went head-to-head with Mr. Cellini about the financing of the Abraham Lincoln Hotel," Quinn said at an unrelated news conference Wednesday. "He's now a convicted felon, and I certainly don't want anything to do with him personally, and I think anybody who aspires to this office should steer clear of him and make that crystal clear to the people of Illinois."
A Rauner spokesman, in a statement, said Rauner "obviously renounces Cellini" and pointed out Quinn ran as Rod Blagojevich's running mate twice, called him "honest," and did nothing overt to call attention to the misdeeds which resulted in Blagojevich losing the governor's office and going to prison.
When asked how the Quinn-Blagojevich connection is different from the Rauner-Cellini connection, Quinn instead continued to discuss Cellini.
On another subject, Quinn said he needed time to study the Chicago pension restructuring bill which zoomed through the legislature Tuesday, though he did say he was glad the property tax increase was taken out of it.

Way of the Willow
John Senne had two problems. His land in Shannon County included Barren Fork Creek, a tributary to Sinking Creek. Heavy rains transformed this meandering creek into a river that carved soil from the banks and deposited large piles of gravel over Senne's road.
Following local advice, Senne tried to straighten the creek. People told him that this would eliminate the bends where the water was cutting into the soil and would speed up the movement of water and gravel past his low water access point. Senne described this advice in one word, "Wrong!" After several years of bulldozers and shovels, he admitted defeat and let the creek chose its own path.
Now a stream team member, Senne has a different philosophy. Part of helping nature along, he believes, means understanding the intricate connections between biotic and physical functions. Senne attended stream team and tree farming meetings to learn how land and trees on or near the banks of rivers and streams normally function. He needed trees. The streamside forest had been removed, and trees, shrubs and grasses were gone.
Armed with this new information, he allowed willows to naturally "spring-up" along the banks and planted other trees along the stream in a belt about 100 feet wide. Thirty years have passed and Senne feels he has done the right thing. Although he now has a concrete passage over the creek, gravel does not pile up like it did.
The volunteer willows and planted sycamores and other tree species help hold the stream bank in place. Yes, there is still some erosion, and occasionally a big tree falls into the river. However, when compared to the damage the creek was doing 30 years ago it seems insignificant.
Not only has Senne solved the problems of stream bank erosion and gravel deposition, his decision to restore a riparian forest helps nature provide cover and food for wildlife and clean water for stream life.
Lakes, rivers, streams and ground water supply the essential volumes we use for drinking, washing and cleaning. The water treatment plants we depend on to clean the water and make it safe for our consumption face a growing challenge. Cities generate magnitudes of polluted water. The city of Columbia even uses wetlands to help clean the water. And, in some rural places, soil and chemicals flow unchecked into our steams as a result of intensive grazing and row cropping.
The wetlands approach not only reduces the demand

Children's health and compassionate conservatism vetoed
In anticipation of Bush's veto of S-CHIP, leaders from Sojourners, NETWORK, PICO, and numerous denominations spoke at a press conference on Capitol Hill yesterday marking the death of compassionate conservatism.
Today, as promised and expected, President Bush confirmed Wallis' judgment by vetoing an expansion of SCHIP that would have covered most of the country's 9-10 million uninsured children. The moral bankruptcy of valuing the interests of insurance providers over the health of children is self-evident. This commercial from FamiliesUSA is a pointed reminder of who is hurt by President Bush's fealty to private insurers and why SCHIP is a moral issue:

As the Webb project reaches its peak development years, the Webb Science and Operations Center (S&OC) at STScI is ramping up its development of the ground system for commissioning and science operations. John Mather, the NASA Senior Project Scientist for JWST, visited the Institute on December 5 2007 to meet the center staff. He was treated to an overview of the ground system and several prototype demonstrations including selection of NIRSpec apertures for multi-object spectroscopy and on-board scripts actually running the observation.
After John's colloquium presentation, "From the Big Bang to the Nobel Prize and on to James Webb Space Telescope", he enjoyed dinner with the Director and senior staff from the STScI and the JHU physics and astronomy department and their 2007 Brickwedde speaker, David Gross (U.C. Santa Barbara).

Ken Loach presented The Angels' Share alongside his producer Rebecca O'Brien, his screenwriter Paul Laverty, and two of his actors Paul Brannigan and Charlie Maclean: a light-hearted press conference where issues of whiskey, politics and censorship were discussed.
On the filiation between The Angels' Share and Kes
Ken Loach: "Whiskey plays a similar role for Robbie as the bird does for Billy Casper in Kes. It's actually thanks to whiskey that we discover Robbie's talent. But the big difference is that Kes took place during the 60s and Billy Casper had a job. In 2012, Robbie doesn't have a job. His talent for whiskey is a way of observing this boy's energy and determination. "
On the difficult situation in Scotland
Paul Laverty: "The idea was to show that despite unemployment, despite the crisis, young people are looking to the future and want to do something with their lives."
Paul Brannigan: "I know a lot of people like Robbie in Glasgow. Me too, I was unemployed, I'd borrowed money. This role saved me."
On censorship
Rebecca O'Brien: "We had to change some of the film's language so that it could be classified as a 15. Some films have been banned for under 18s for the same reason."
Ken Loach: "We could only use certain swear words. In fact, we were only allowed to keep the words that were not aggressive. We had to censor the other ones. The problem is that the British middle class is obsessed with swear words."

Geographic Location: Seychelles is located in the Western Indian Ocean between 4° South and 11° South and between 45° East and 56° East. Seychelles is an archipelago of more than 115 islands with two distinct collections of islands, some comprised of granite and others of coral. The main islands are Mahe, Praslin and La Digue, with a total area of 455 km2 and coastline of approximately 746 km.
Rivers to the country's Coast: Mahe has approximately twenty five major rivers, Praslin has eight major rivers and La Digue has only one major river. The rivers' main sources are from the mountains and discharge into the sea.
Coastal Climate: The climate in Seychelles can be divided into two main seasons, the Northwest Monsoon (December - March) and the Southeast Monsoon (May - October), separated by two relatively short inter monsoon periods in November and April respectively.
The following are the average annual meteorological features characterizing the Seychelles climate:
Coastal Geomorphology: The natural coastline of Seychelles can be classified as either steep granitic shoreline or the flatter coastal plains. The steep granitic shoreline is highly resilient to waves and comprised of large boulders, thus waves break directly onto granitic rocks. The flatter coastal plains are fronted by fringing reefs and comprise of sandy shores and they are most vulnerable to wind and wave action.
Coastal Currents and Tides: The tides of the Seychelles can be characterized by the following (De Comarmond, 2008):
Coastal Observations: A tide gauge is operational at Pointe de Larue.
Coastal Economy: The main economic activities along the coast are related to tourism and fisheries. This also includes related goods and services such as tourism infrastructure support (hotels, restaurants), marine parks, and fishing activities.
Fisheries: Fishing is one of our main industries, and it is practiced all over the main islands. Seychelles' fisheries industry is divided into three groups:
Mineral Resources: No significant quantities of minerals are being extracted in the Seychelles.
Agricultural products: Agriculture is scattered all over the main islands and is done on a small scale to support local demand.
Addressing Key Coastal Issues: Most of the coastal issues fall under the responsibility of the Ministry of Environment. It is important to note that there are other local authorities working in close collaboration with the Ministry of Environment on issues relating to coastal and marine resources. These include: Seychelles Centre for Marine Research and Technology, Marine Parks Authority, Seychelles Fishing Authority, Port Authority and numerous Environmental Non-Governmental Organization (ENGO's).
Experts taking part in a national assessment of environmental and social issues and impacts identified a number of hot spots (currently suffering measurable degradation), sensitive areas (likely to be subjected to some degradation in the future); and major issues of concern. These are reproduced in Table 1 (ACOPS, 2002d).
The National Oceanographic Data Centre is a joint implementation of the Seychelles Fishing Authority and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO under the ODINAFRICA Project. The NODC was established in 1997 and is a member of the International Oceanographic Data Exchange (IODE) Programme.

St. Vincent's Program Aids Nursing Students
Skidmore, Sarah, The Florida Times Union
Byline: Sarah Skidmore, Times-Union business writer
St. Vincent's Foundation announced a new scholarship program for the nursing education of the hospital's staff members.
More than $300,000 will fund up to 20 scholarships at local nursing schools. This is the first nursing scholarship program offered by the hospital foundation. Several local families donated the money to create the endowment.
Staff members can use the educational opportunity to either make the initial move into nursing or further their nursing careers.
For staff members like Melissa Dodd, 31, the scholarship means the completion of a long-term goal.
Dodd began working at St. Vincent's in 1992 as a secretary. She continued working full time while she got her associate degree in nursing from Florida Community College. She moved up to a technician position and went on to get her bachelor's degree from the University of North Florida.
After taking a few semesters off after the birth of her daughter, Dodd is back at school and work, this time with a full scholarship from the Gottlieb family through the foundation; the Gottliebs are one of the families donating to the fund.
"It was nice to know people would step up and help you out," Dodd said. …

Pros and Cons
The strivers and schemers and wankers and winners of John Lanchester's Capital.
"It is pretty to see what money will do," Samuel Pepys wrote in his diary in 1667. It's not happenstance that John Lanchester has named the fictional street at the center of his new novel, Capital, after Pepys. The money-obsessed residents of Pepys Road in South London—bankers and their wives, strivers from foreign lands, gadflies, homebodies, and troublemakers—would have seemed, despite the 300-year gap, pleasingly familiar to the great London diarist. As a shady businessman, a lover of ladies, a chronicler of a city already bursting at the seams, Pepys would have quite enjoyed Capital. And future historians might find the minutely detailed novel as useful a guide to London at the Great Recession as we, today, find Pepys' diaries to London at the Great Fire.
The houses on Pepys Road, Lanchester writes, were built in the late 19th century, "during the boom that followed the abolition of the tax on brick," and by 2008, when the book is set, they've gone from being the dwellings of middle-class families to markers of wealth, their worth driven by the relentless market into the millions of pounds. Though with few exceptions the residents of Pepys Road don't know each other very well, they know each other's houses. And they know what the houses are worth. "When people met they held off the subject of house prices with a conscious sense of restraint," Lanchester writes, "and gave in to the desire to talk about them with relief." It is delightful to talk about home values, of course, when it's your own home's skyrocketing value you're really discussing, and Pepys Road has turned into a sort of "casino in which you were guaranteed to be a winner"—indeed, London, in Lanchester's telling, has become a city "of winners and losers, and all the people in the street, just by living there, had won."
As the novel opens, the residents of Pepys Road have begun receiving mysterious postcards: photographs of their own houses, bearing the legend WE WANT WHAT YOU HAVE. This harassment campaign, which escalates into acts of minor vandalism, is the thread connecting the residents of the neighborhood, the novel's central mystery, and by far the weakest part of the book. Lanchester neither gives the mystery any urgency nor explores the ugliness of the class divisions it's meant to expose; when we learn the identity of the person behind the campaign, we shrug. But that's fine; though the subplot feels like an early brainstorm that maybe shouldn't have made it through editing, it never torpedoes the rest of the book, which is rich in observation and warm in spirit, even toward its most disagreeable subjects.
Those would be Roger and Arabella Yount. He's a banker coasting through life, a handsome, lazy-ish public-school prat who doesn't understand the fiendishly complicated numbers crunched within his own department but knows he deserves a million-pound bonus. She's a frivolous, entitled boob; the closest she comes to introspection is aggressive retail therapy. Like many wealthy people, they believe they aren't truly wealthy—just "your typical London struggling well-off," Arabella clarifies—and the math Roger does when we first meet him goes a long way toward confirming that, in a way, they are on the razor's edge. Roger's salary of £150,000 "was nice as what Arabella called 'frock money,' but it did not pay even for his two mortgages." Vacations cost £10,000 a week, plus business class airfare, because Roger believes "the whole point of having a bit of money was not to have to fly scum class." School for their son: £20,000. Nanny for the other son: £35,000. Weekend nanny: £9,000. Cars. Clothes. Taxes and pensions. And above it all
the general hard-to-believe expensiveness of everything in London, restaurants and shoes and parking fines and cinema tickets and gardeners and the feeling that every time you went anywhere or did anything money just started melting off you. Roger didn't mind that, he was completely up for it, but it did mean that if he didn't get his million-pound bonus this year he was at genuine risk of going broke.
It's not the last time that a character in Capital will tally what he has and what he needs; the characters in Lanchester's London have complicated financial, strategic, and emotional ledger sheets, and the book is studded with discussions of worth, value, and want. Quite a bit of Roger's money goes to Zbigniew Tomascewski, Arabella's favorite builder, who early in the book uses some higher math to explain why an average-looking Polish workman is able to do so well with women:
His philosophy was that if you were clean and financially solvent and not ugly you were already in the top 30 per cent of men. If in addition you listened to what women said to you, or were able to fake doing so convincingly, you were in the top 10 or even 5 per cent. Then all it took was to apply common sense: don't seem desperate, don't get drunk, do let the girl get drunk … It was all to do with improving your percentages.
In Capital, characters are exquisitely conscious of the value of everything. A parking warden, for whom each illegally parked auto is another step toward her quota, also competes with her co-workers to see who can ticket the most expensive car each day. An old woman, fearful about her dizzy spells, visits a doctor whose distracted brusqueness makes clear that he is "so much more important than her." A Banksy-like graffiti artist ("Smitty") knows that his real commodity, "his most interesting artefact," is anonymity. A daughter, after her mother's death, thinks about her inheritance, a house on Pepys Road: "In the debit column, she had lost her mother; in the credit column, she now had a gigantic pile of cash." In a terrific irony, the only thing in Capital that proves to be nearly worthless is, for complicated reasons, a suitcase full of money.
Though Pepys Road is rich, and we spend some time with its rich denizens—the Younts, a Senegalese football star and his father, that daughter and her gigantic pile of cash—Lanchester is much more interested in those who work for them, like Zbigniew, or the cop investigating the postcards, or the Hungarian nanny enchanted by the magic she sees the Younts' money do. The novel gives us two separate scheming underlings, including Smitty's assistant, about whom Smitty cares so little he wishes he could just call all his assistants Nigel. ("Every year or so there would be a new Nigel. Short Nigels, tall Nigels, hairy Nigels, skinhead Nigels, Rasta Nigels – but always, in the final analysis, Nigels.")

The Sun Sets on the Sundown Concert Series
The 2011 Ecotrust Sundown Concert Series wrapped up Thursday night with an all-star showing of the 1% network! Throughout the concert series, 1% members and non-profit partners have been coming out every Thursday evening to exhibit their commitment to creating a healthier planet. But last week we got to see the whole 1% model in action with 1% member, Trew Gear and their 1% non-profit partner, Columbia Gorge Ecology Institute exhibited their longstanding partnership protect and promote the Columbia Gorge. This was the first week where it was a full partnership at the booth and it was great to see them laughing together and explaining their work together!
Trew Gear is a ski and snowboard clothing company based out of Hood River, Oregon. They sell jackets, hats, t-shirts, hoodies, and pretty much anything else you would need for a great day of riding in the mountains. Dedicated to sharing the "trewth" Trew gear joined 1% for the Planet in 2009 and has donated to the Columbia Gorge Ecology Institute consistently each year. They haven't just handed out money either. Tripp, John, and Chris are active volunteers with CGEI, showing that their commitment to the environment runs deep throughout their business.
Aaron Morehouse, Executive Director of Columbia Gorge Ecology Institute, came out on Thursday evening to represent the NGO and their partnership. Aaron works closely with the Trew crew on the projects that they fund and in facilitating their partnership. CGEI works to promote knowledge and stewardship of the Columbia River Gorge canyon in Washington and Oregon. They work with schools and other groups of people, taking them to the canyon and helping them find their place in the environment.
1% would like to thank Trew Gear and CGEI for coming out to last Thursday and for work together to create a healthy planet. It is partnerships like these that speak to the power of the 1% model in action!

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Dethroned As Best Album Of All Time
Today Entertainment Weekly released lists of the 100 all-time greatest pop culture rankings of everything from movies, TV shows, to music.
While perennial favorite "Citizen Kane" topped the list of greatest movies (shocker), I was a little more surprised to see the publication's choice for top album. Though most wouldn't be stunned to hear that an album from The Beatles topped the list, it was not "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" that claimed the number spot, despite the fact it's been called the most influential rock album ever made, topping every list from the 1st edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums, the National Association of Recording Merchandisers Definitive 200, and Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.
Not only was "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" bypassed for the top spot, it didn't even crack Entertainment Weekly's top 5, and was dethroned by another Beatles album, "Revolver."
As a life-long Beatles fan, this is interesting to me for reasons abundant. First of all, I applaud EW for it's choice to crown "Revolver," knocking "Sgt. Pepper" off it's pop culture pedestal. While I'd never attempt to deny the pervasive musical influence, prowess, and well-roundedness of this album, my reasons for commending this choice are a bit more personal.
It all comes down to one question. "What's your favorite album?" It's always the first thing I ask whenever I meet a fellow Beatles fan.
I've never spent more time listening to, discussing, or defending any album than I have "Revolver." My obsession started in high school when I moved from loving the songs that initially boosted The Beatles to international fame, to the tracks that established them as artists, revolutionaries, and game-changers in terms of what popular music could be. That's when I found "Revolver" and swiftly fell in love with George Harrison's burgeoning songwriting skills, and the sounds of his sitar. "Revolver" quickly rose up the ranks to become my favorite album, always in heavy rotation from bedrooms, to dorm rooms, to the place where I call home as an adult.
As a fan, "Revolver" is remarkable due to the fact it so clearly represents the start of a new direction in the band's musical progression. It was when The Beatles really started sounding like The Beatles. The shift is palpable. As a critic and pop culture junkie, this album is revolutionary. The unique songs combined with the use of artificial double tracking (ADT), and tape-looping, arguably spearheaded the birth of the psychedelic genre. The Beatles were experimenting with techniques and ideas that were unheard of, and not found in mainstream pop music in 1966, paving the way and opening the synapses for their next studio album, 1967's "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
I've spent many a bar night engrossed in this conversation, defending why I choose "Revolver" over "Sgt. Pepper," often ending in frustration, and blowing off steam with another Jameson on the rocks. When it comes to The Beatles, I've learned to accept that "Sgt. Pepper" will almost always be the popular choice, while "Revolver" falls behind. Historically, critics agree, giving "Revolver" 3rd place on Rolling Stone, and listing it at number 42 on the Definitive 200.
In conclusion, EW, I commend you for recognizing "Revolver." Though selfish my reasons may be, I'm not sorry for this pop culture soliloquy. Because personal reasons aside, "Revolver" is certainly worthy of the honor.
Rounding out EW's top 5 greatest albums of all time:
5. London Calling – The Clash
4. Thriller – Michael Jackson
3. Exile on Main Street – The Rolling Stones
2. Purple Rain – Prince
1. Revolver – The Beatles

Johnson and 45-year-old Carlton T. Smith were discovered after a co-worker of one of the men went to his house to check up on him. Investigators found electric service to the house had been turned off, and Johnson and Smith were using generators that were not properly vented. A medical examiner ruled the deaths were accidental.

Fulton's Parents As Teachers program has a new service to offer its patrons thanks to cooperation with First Chance for Children, a nonprofit organization based out of Columbia.
Parents as Teachers is now coordinating implementation of First Chance for Children's Baby Bags and Safe Crib programs in Fulton.
According to the First Chance For Children website, Baby Bag provides basic safety materials for parents of infants, as well as books, a sleeper and notebook with information on local resources for new parents. The organization's Safe Cribs program provides a safe crib for families that need one, information on how to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and basic instruction in child abuse and neglect prevention training.
"Their purpose is to ensure crib safety as well as educate parents," said Tressa Duncan, Fulton's Early Childhood Coordinator, noting PAT staff have been trained on how to safely assemble the cribs provided through the program. "There's a lot of misconceptions about co-sleeping and about things that go in cribs like bumpers, blankets and stuffed animals that can pose a hazard to the child."

Maryland reaches out to Harvard coach
Harvard coach John Tillman has been contacted by Maryland's search committee for the team's head coaching vacancy, according to a school official. He is believed to be one of the university's top candidates for the position.
Tillman has guided the Crimson to a 20-19 overall record in three years. In 2009, the team won eight games, which was the most in the program's history since 2002.
Prior to Harvard, Tillman spent 12 seasons at Navy, including the last six as that team's head assistant coach. In charge of the offense, he helped the Midshipmen earn four consecutive berths between 2004 to 2007 in the NCAA tournament.
Virginia associate head coach Marc Van Arsdale is believed to be the only candidate to have interviewed for the Terps position previously held by Dave Cottle, who stepped down after the team's loss to Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament quarterfinals May
Tillman did not return a phone message seeking comment. Maryland athletic director Debbie Yow did not reply to an e-mail also seeking comment.

How to Show Recent Posts with NewsTicker Effect in WordPress Sidebar
- 6 June 2009
- Tutorials, WordPress
- This post was written exclusively for PV.M Garage by marbio
- Comments (31)»
With this little tutorial I want to illustrate the way in order to show recent articles with newsticker effect on the sidebar of your wordpress blog. The term "newsticker" refers to a small section of the page in which we can read the last news (the last ones post in this case) with the typical sliding effect of the on-line magazine.
The execution of this script demands to edit some files of your template, therefore it is better idea a backup copy of the theme folder.
Recent Posts with NewsTicker Effect
Step 1 – Creation of the module style
The following portion of code contains the style CSS of the recent-post-newsticker module. We can insert the following code directly in the main style sheet of the template (style.css) or create a new file .css (newsticker.css).
#listticker{/*general settings*/ text-align:left; height:220px; width:270px; overflow:hidden; padding:6px 6px 6px 6px; } #listticker ul{/*list general settings*/ border:0; margin-bottom:0; padding:0; list-style:none; background:#f4f4f4; } #listticker li{/*single list element settings*/ height:40px; padding:5px; list-style:none; margin-top:5px; border:dashed 1px #dddddd; background:#ffffff; } #listticker a{/*link settings*/ display:block; color:#857d59; margin-bottom:0px; font-weight:bold; float:left; font-size:11px; }
This code is customizable to follow the design of your blog. With the example configuration we will obtain the following one rendering.
Now we create a folder post_newsticker where insert the eventual style sheet file if it has been chosen this road. Inside the folder post_newsticker we insert also the file jquery.js, it referers to JQuery base library, the Javascript framework used to recreate the sliding effect.
Now we are ready to transfer on the server and just inside the directory of template graphical the folder containing post_newsticker files.
Step 2 – Modification of the header.php file
With this modification we recall the files previously loaded. The following portions of code will be inserted inside of the tag head. If you choose to use a dedicated css file for the style insert this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); >/post_newsticker/newsticker.css" type="text/css" />
Now insert the jQuery library reference.

Therefore insert the javascript code in order to realize the sliding effect on the articles list.

With the speed and pause variables we can modify respective element refreshing velocity and the pause between the various refreshments. To this point we must connect the n last posts of the blog to the list elements.
Step 3 – Modification of the sidebar.php file
In order to obtain the list of n last posts we can use the native functions in Wordpress that refer to posts management.

 Articoli recenti

 <?php $lastposts = get_posts('numberposts=10'); foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
 <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
 <?php endforeach; ?>
The code should follow the style of the page structure. The ul element have id="listticker".
We define the n number (that the newsticker list contains) of the posts with "numberpost" variable.
To this point the recent-post-newsticker has been correctly installed.
A great part of the material for this module has been recovered on Woork (Antonio Lupetti's tech blog) in the following article " How to implement a news ticker with jQuery and ten lines of code ".
If you have any suggestions or ideas to improve the module write a comment to the post.

Quick debate eyed on new criminal code
Thursday, January 16, 2014
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Dixon said Wednesday the 739-page bill revamping Missouri's criminal code "will be out of the committee by the end of the month."
He wants to give the full Senate a chance "to do a very thorough job of vetting this," while still getting it through both houses and to Gov. Jay Nixon by the end of this session.
Dixon said he doesn't plan on a lot of hearings, reminding the committee members they already have "had 13 hearings on this bill" over the last few years.
The bill mainly regroups the state's current criminal laws into categories with laws added to the code over the years, so similar crimes are treated in the same manner.
"This … has not been easy," said Sen. Jolie Justus, D-Kansas City, who sponsors this year's version of the bill.
She noted the Missouri Bar began reviewing the existing criminal code about eight years ago, and worked on it "for 4-5 years" before asking the Legislature in 2012 to change the lawbooks.
The bar's study was made by both prosecutors and defense lawyers, including the state's public defenders.
"The document they came up with was a consensus document," Justus reminded the Senate committee. "Both sides said they had a little bit of heartburn over, but both sides felt was necessary for the administration of justice in the state of Missouri."
Supporters want the bill to be passed this year, so it can go into effect on Jan. 1, 2016.
Sen. Kurt Schaefer, R-Columbia, said Wednesday he's concerned with the idea that everything will change at once.
"It needs to be updated — don't get me wrong," the former prosecutor said. "As a prosecutor, you know what the charges are and you know what the elements are and you know what facts fit.
"And what we're going to do is take the whole universe and change it at one point."
Justice noted many of the changes are caused by existing laws being moved from one section to another, and that one reason for waiting until 2016 to make the switch is to allow time for needed training.
Roy Richter, a judge on the appeals court in St. Louis, told the committee he was an associate circuit judge when the last rewrite was done 35 years ago.
"It was a nightmare, but we got through it," he said. "I'm sure that will happen again."
He encouraged lawmakers to leave as many of the laws as possible in the same chapters they are now.
Boone County Prosecutor Dan Knight is president-elect of the Missouri Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, which he said supports the changes because: "There was disharmony among some of the statutes.
"There was a need for consolidation of some of these statutes."
Knight said one major benefit is the addition of a fifth "class" of felony crimes, with a possible sentence range of from 3-10 years.
"For example, right now, involuntary manslaughter in the first degree typically is a Class C felony. So is forgery," he explained.
"The range of punishment for both of those crimes, typically, is up to seven years in the penitentiary."
The new law would keep the manslaughter charge as a Class C felony, with the increased sentencing range up to 10 years, while the forgery charge would move to the new Class D, with a potential sentence up to seven years.
Joel Elmer, a division director in the state Public Defender system, also supports the proposed rewrite — and urged the lawmakers to make few changes to the proposed bill.
"It's a very carefully crafted work product," he said. "I think it's very important to stick with the recommendations of the committee, because any deviation will affect that careful balance."
Missouri Retailers Association President David Overfelt encouraged the committee to be careful that the rewritten code doesn't erase changes that groups like his have gotten added to the statutes over the years, as their business needs have changed.

ANTWERP, Belgium (AP) -- Officials say three spectators were kicked out of the Diamond Games tennis tournament in Antwerp because they were betting on a match online from the stands. The WTA Tour is taking a tough stance against gambling at tournaments, especially after betting scandals on the ATP tour have tarnished the sport. The WTA Tour says as many as six of its players have been approached to throw matches but insists that no match outcomes have been affected by gambling so far.

Attach a Photo to a Mail Message on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
You've probably noticed there isn't an attachment button floating around when composing a new email message in iOS Mail app, so how do you attach pictures to emails on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch? It's easy, and there's actually two simple ways to attach images to your emails, we'll cover both ways on how to do it.
Inserting Photos Into Emails in iOS Mail
For newer iPhones and iPads, the simplest and fastest way to attach photos to an email is by using the tap-and-hold trick:
- Compose a new Mail message and tap in the Body area
- Tap and hold within the body, then tap the right arrow button and choose "Insert Photo or Video"
- Locate the photo(s) to attach within Camera Roll and tap on it to include it in the email message
This in-line image attachment ability was introduced in iOS 6 onward, but older versions of iOS and older iOS devices can still attach pictures easily by using the tried and true copy and paste method. Note the copy and paste method still works on the newest versions of iOS as well, it's just not necessarily the fastest.
Attach Photos to eMails with Copy & Paste
You can also attach photos to emails by using Copy & Paste. For older iDevices, this is also the easiest way to send out a picture or two, here's what you'll want to do:
- Compose a new mail message as usual, then hit the Home button and launch the Photos app
- Locate the picture you want to attach to the email and tap to open it
- Tap and hold on the image until you see "Copy" and tap to copy it
- Use a four-fingered swipe up or double-tap the Home button to bring up the multitasking bar, and select the Mail app to switch back to your mail message
- Back in the mail composition window, tap in the mail body and hold until you see "Paste", select that to insert the picture into the email as an attachment
- Compose the remainder of the email as usual and tap "Send"
You can add up to five photos as attachments, though if you plan on sending multiple pictures it's better to start from Photos app instead of Mail app because you can compose a new message containing several photos directly from there.
The copy and paste trick is the source of some confusion for new iPad and iPhone users, and I have fielded this question several times in person to newcomers to the iOS platform. That confusion is likely why Apple introduced the new "Insert Photo" feature into the newer versions of Mail, making it a much more direct way of adding mail attachments and preventing some of the friction.
