Should We Buy a New House?
Q: I've recently married, and would like to give my new wife a new home. I'm tempted to buy one now, since builders have been giving away things like finished basements—one even will credit 1% of the price of the home towards upgrades for teachers like me. But since new-home prices still seem to be falling, we're nervous about committing. Plus, we see a lot of great deals on apartments, too, like one month's free rent for a unit with free WiFi and utilities. What should we do?
A: If you're motivated by incentives, suggest that you keep house-hunting. I don't think great builder incentives are going to last too much longer, and may even disappear before a newly-signed lease can expire.
It's true that there are deals on new homes now, spurred by the Chicago's still-weak economy. In its Chicago Market outlook PNC Financial Services Group noted that the city experienced a "more draining downturn" during the recession than the rest of the country due to heavy job losses and slow population growth.
But the city has a broad-based business sector that's beginning to revive, causing unemployment to tick down to a projected 9.8% in August from 10.1% a year earlier, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. While the recovery is still nascent and fragile, the housing market is responding. According to the most recent statistics from the Illinois Association of Realtors, in the Chicago metro area, 49,293 homes were sold from January to August this year, up 15.8% from the same period a year ago.
Although it's unclear what impact the current foreclosure mess will have on home prices, Standard and Poor's Case-Shiller indexes based on housing futures, while lightly traded, point to a possible turnaround in the offing, at least for Chicago. The composite index, which tracks 10 major metro areas, predicts that overall home prices will decline an additional 5.7% by Nov. 2011, while in Chicago, they'll fall only 0.5%. Then Chicago's prices are expected to pick up steam, rising 3% in Nov. 2012 and 5.4% in Nov. 2013. Meanwhile, the composite index for the same period is expected to fall 4.5% in 2012 and 1.4% in 2013.
All of which points to the likelihood that the days where you can score free finished basements and granite countertops are numbered. Indeed, last month the Federal Reserve's Beige Book noted that while residential building activity in Chicago has been minimal of late, despite falling inventory levels, "downward pressure on new home prices had likely bottomed out " and that "builders were refraining from reducing prices below costs, as many had done earlier in the year."

"Mactan Island - Cebu's Beachside Resorts" Mactan Island by vincentf
Mactan Island Travel Guide: 28 reviews and 98 photos
Mactan Island lies just east of Cebu City via two cross channel bridges. All the beachside resorts lie along Mactan Island. It also houses the Mactan-Cebu International Airport with direct flights from several Asian cities including Hong Kong.
Public transport in this area comes in a wide variety of choices. One of them is the motorized tricycle as shown here. The fare is around P4 per person.
This island is normally the jumping point for snorkelling/diving tours to the islands off of Mactan Island. You normally travel to these islands by these outrigger boats. This photo was taken upon returning from a full day of snorkelling. The outrigger encountered low tide, thus we had to be transferred on to a small boat to reach the pier.
- Pros:Experience local village life
- Cons:Poor road conditions

The regulars were in full voice Sunday on one side of The Blind Pig in Greenwood.
With the jukebox blaring, bar patrons were having loud conversations with one another while watching NASCAR and ESPN's "SportsCenter" on big-screen TVs.
On the other side of the bar, however, a different scene unfolded. About 25 soccer fans, many decked out in jerseys and other merchandise from new pro soccer franchise Indy Eleven, were watching a live webcast of the team's latest match in the North American Soccer League at Edmonton, Alberta.
Fans cheered and jeered with every shot on goal and turnover, saving their loudest outburst for the final minute when Brazilian star Kleberson drove a low shot into the back of the net to give Indy a dramatic 1-0 victory.
It seems the excitement accompanying the new team's arrival on the area sports scene has extended to Johnson County.
The team has enjoyed tremendous popularity thus far. Playing at IUPUI's Michael Carroll Stadium, the Eleven have sold out each of their six home matches, drawing nearly 10,500 fans per contest. A notable feature of these matches has been the presence of the Brickyard Battalion, 3,000 extremely vocal fans who basically have a big party in the temporary stands behind the goals.
These fans provide much of the atmosphere at the stadium, leading chants and songs and generally keeping the noise level high throughout the contest.
The Battalion actually is made up of a number of satellite groups from around greater Indianapolis, and one of those is the Southie Brickers, a Greenwood-based group of about 70 fans, many of whom were present at The Blind Pig on Sunday.
Greenwood resident Tyler Drake, 23, is a founder of the group and said during Sunday's webcast that support for the team on the southside is strong.
"The team had an event in early March, and we filled the bar here with 70 or 80 people for a question-and-answer session with (team president) Peter Wilt and (vice president) Tom Dunmore," he said. "That's when I realized we had to have a southside chapter and a
way to get the fans down here more involved."
It was the team president who encouraged Drake in his efforts. A veteran of sports management, including service as the first general manager of Major League's Soccer's Chicago Fire, Wilt has run the club for more than 18 months, traveling around the state, and central Indiana in particular, to promote Indy Eleven to any and all listeners. He has visited each of the state's 92 counties and conducted countless meetings and speaking engagements on behalf of pro soccer in Indianapolis.
Last week, Wilt spoke early one morning to the Perry Township Kiwanis Club at an IHOP near Greenwood Park Mall. Wilt shared with the group how he capped season ticket sales at 7,500, more than three times his initial goal, so a greater number of fans could be exposed to the sport via walk-up and single-game ticket sales.
He also shared how a meeting last year at The Gathering Place, Community Church of Greenwood's large sports facility, brought a few hundred people out and convinced him about the market for pro soccer in Johnson County.
"There's a real soccer audience on the southside," Wilt said. "There's a myth that soccer in this area only exists in Hamilton County, but it's really all over."
The club reports that of the 7,500 season ticket holders, 295 have Johnson County ZIP codes.
The breakdown of fans who are interested in the team spans three primary demographics, Wilt said. These are millennials (defined as people aged 18-35); new Americans or area residents with international backgrounds; and youth soccer families.
While millennials make up the overwhelming majority of fans in The Brickyard Battalion, Southie Brickers and those on hand at The Blind Pig on Sunday, Wilt estimates they make up about 30 percent of the overall base. He admitted they may be the most important group.
"If you get the millennials, they will create a brand of edginess and a cool factor, and the rest of the demographics will want to aspire to it," Wilt said said. "The kids themselves will want to be like their older brothers, and the adults will want to say 'I'm still cool. I'm still young. I can go have a beer at a game and have a good time.'"
Both Drake and Justin Wiese, a 32-year old Whiteland resident on the board of the Brickyard Battalion, said the audience participation factor among soccer fans is a big pull for people in their age group.
"It's a huge participation thing," Wiese said. "You go to a Colts game and it's all canned, you know, '1-2-3 first down.' It's much more organic here, and you know that the team hears you and you can have much more of an impact on the game. These players are much more accessible.
"You can lean over and touch the net (on the goal) from The Brickyard Battalion if you are in the first row. That's how close we are."
While millennials and youth soccer families in other cities have sometimes had conflicts over issues like fan language and other less demure behaviors, Wiese said there really should be no issue with everyone getting along.
"There's a growing number of people who want to be in the Brickyard Battalion and do that cool stuff," Wiese said. "But there are also a number of families who want to be in the other stands and just enjoy that environment and say, 'Oh look, there are the crazies down there having fun.'"
Dave Schafer, 52, is a Greenwood resident whose interest in the sport stems largely from his children's involvement with youth soccer. He purchased a pair of season tickets following the presentation by the club at The Gathering Place in Greenwood, but he knows the sport is still making inroads to the more mature and suburban demographic, especially in terms of following a professional team closely.
"For most people in our age group, there has to be some connection to the game for you to have that interest," Schafer said. "I've seen a few people just kind of pick up the game from being exposed to it, but most I know have children or grandkids involved. During the World Cup, I spent a number of lunchtimes talking to colleagues and explaining the game to them because they were interested but had no clue what the game involved.
"Soccer has gotten bigger, but you still have to make an effort to get involved in following it. It's not on the front page of the paper or on TV every night."
Wilt said youth soccer families make up 60 percent of soccer's fan base with the club, with New Americans comprising the final 10 percent. He also said that the rural market may be the toughest threshold for the game to cross in terms of fan interest.
He remains convinced that support of the groups like the one that watched the game in Greenwood will be instrumental to it succeeding in this community as a spectator sport.
"The supporters themselves are the energy of the team," he said. "Any sports team is tribal. You're trying to get an emotional connection and to look at the athletes on the field as representatives of the community. Our fans feel like they are part of it. That's what we want."

Can anyone give me a simple example of LL parsing versus LR parsing?
At a high level, the difference between LL parsing and LR parsing is that LL parsers begin at the start symbol and try to apply productions to arrive at the target string, whereas LR parsers begin at the target string and try to arrive back at the start symbol.
An LL parse is a left-to-right, leftmost derivation. That is, we consider the input symbols from the left to the right and attempt to construct a leftmost derivation. This is done by beginning at the start symbol and repeatedly expanding out the leftmost nonterminal until we arrive at the target string. An LR parse is a left-to-right, rightmost derivation, meaning that we scan from the left to right and attempt to construct a rightmost derivation. The parser continuously picks a substring of the input and attempts to reverse it back to a nonterminal.
During an LL parse, the parser continuously chooses between two actions:
As an example, given this grammar:
Then given the string
Notice that in each step we look at the leftmost symbol in our production. If it's a terminal, we match it, and if it's a nonterminal, we predict what it's going to be by choosing one of the rules.
In an LR parser, there are two actions:
As an example, an LR(1) parser (with one token of lookahead) might parse that same string as follows:
The two parsing algorithms you mentioned (LL and LR) are known to have different characteristics. LL parsers tend to be easier to write by hand, but they are less powerful than LR parsers and accept a much smaller set of grammars than LR parsers do. LR parsers come in many flavors (LR(0), SLR(1), LALR(1), LR(1), IELR(1), GLR(0), etc.) and are far more powerful. They also tend to have much more complex and are almost always generated by tools like
As a shameless plug, if you'd like to learn more about LL and LR parsing, I just finished teaching a compilers course and have some handouts and lecture slides on parsing on the course website. I'd be glad to elaborate on any of them if you think it would be useful.
Josh Haberman in his article LL and LR Parsing Demystified claims that LL parsing directly corresponds with the Polish Notation, whereas LR corresponds to Reverse Polish Notation. The difference between PN and RPN is the order of traversing the binary tree of the equation:
According to Haberman, this illustrates the main difference between LL and LR parsers:

Hi, I'm well over 50, and hung around this forum for a while, but haven't been around much. At the time I felt everyone seemed content to discuss their illnesses and medications. I see a lot less of that now.
I just dropped by to tell people who are interested about a project I have been developing building electrically assisted bikes.
First a little background. I tour and bike 42 kms to work each day. In Toronto biking to work each day has 2 major challenges; in the summer it is too hot and in the winter it's too icy. Since October of last year electrically assisted bikes have been made legal for a 3 year trial period. In October I didn't even know what an EAV (Electrically Assisted Vehicle) was.
I decided I was going to use the best of this new technology that is currently available and build a 'hybrid' to assist me with commuting. I chose an adult Trike because in the winter it is not always safe to ride a two wheeler on Toronto roads. I chose a front brushless hub because it allows me to easily convert existing technology.
If you would like to see what I'm doing, and follow the progress, please link to my site:

My wife's Tempo is a double, is it possible to make it a triple? as she has alot of trouble on hills, and would also like to change the tall ratio for more flat road speed.
Thanks for any input
Mike V.
My wife's Tempo is a double, is it possible to make it a triple? as she has alot of trouble on hills, and would also like to change the tall ratio for more flat road speed.
Thanks for any input
Mike V.
The problem here is "possible." Sure, it's possible, but would entail an entire crankset (BB + crankarms/chainwheels) plus a front derailleur and rear derailleur (front to handle the triple chainwheels, rear for a longer pulley cage to wrap the chain in lower gears). Better to sell the bike and buy a good new or used triple.
Changing the tall ratio will not give her more flat road speed. Only training will do that. Higher gears take more effort to push at the same rpm's, especially as you are not only increasing speed but also wind resistance.
There-in lies my "problem" My wife got this bike at a yard sale, it was an nasty, greasy, chipped up, black bike that she thought "had potential"
So, i did a re-build on it, sandblasted, painted, etc. and now she thinks it's the "greatest bike in the world" and wouldn't part with it for ANY reason. which brings me to ask these questions --- gotta keep my baby happy I guess what I really need to find out is, how does one figure out the crank/gears/derailleur etc. that will actually "fit" this particular bike (here's a picture of the finished product) as, heck -- I've went this far, what's a little bit more going to hurt.
Mike V.small shot..jpg
triple is crankset and BB , then different RD to take up slack in the difference between the big one and the little one
Then there is adding a wider range set of gears on the back , not more gears, just a bigger difference between the small and a larger low gear.
Supply More data .. how far are the rear dropouts apart?
[drop the wheel and measure inside width]
is it a screw on freewheel hub?
Last edited by fietsbob; 08-10-10 at 03:49 PM.
I looked at the spec page for that bike, and it didn't mention what the chainring sizes are, but I'd guess 42/52. Couldn't you just swap in a 38 tooth small ring without having to do anything else?
It would be a significant (but not huge) difference and would be cheap and easy. Also what earlier posters said about fitness.
what is the drive train? I suspect you might be able to score an nice crankset on the ISO/trade forums a shimano BB to fit said crank is about $30ish and likewise F+R derailleurs can likely be had cheaply.
Bianchis '87 Sport SX, '90 Proto, '90 Campione del Fausto Giamondi Specialisma Italiano Mundo, '91 Boarala 'cross, '93 Project 3, '86 Volpe, '97 Ti Megatube, , '90 something Vento 603,
Others but still loved,; '80 RIGI, '80 Batavus Professional, '87 Cornelo, '09 Motobecane SOLD, '?? Jane Doe (still on the drawing board), '90ish Haro Escape
Here's a compromise. Try putting a freewheel or cassette with a 34 tooth granny in the back. You'll need to get a new rear derailleur with a longer cage most likely. See if that is enough for her to climb the hills. If it isn't then stick to the original plan by swapping out the crankset, bottom bracket, derailleurs.
Nice looking bike by the way, you did a good job. what kind of paint did you use? how did you create the decals for the downtube. Also, you should fix the position of the quick release. It should be set at a 3 o'clock position to avoid catching it on anything.
OR...compact plus corncob. Don't know what components came on the '85, but my '88 has SHimano 105. You can get a SHimano 600 corncob freewheel pretty cheap- like a 12/17, and then use a 50/34 compact crank and BB (Wheel and Sprocket on eBay has them for under $50 including the BB). 50/12 ought to be good for top speed once she gets her cadence going, and the 34 will be easier on the hills.
Lovely bike!
Hard at work in the Secret Underground Laboratory...
Compact crankset. Sometimes you can make your own pretty easily. I took a couple of chain rings off a MTB triple (donor bike) and mounted them on my road double, and instant compact crank.
That is what I have on my 1984 Lotus Classique right now. Fortunately it had a crankset with 110 BCD spacing, which made it really easy (and free).
This is my Lotus with my two favorite thrifty changes to make the bike more rideable: aero brake levers and a compact crank. (The aero levers came from another donor bike.)
Lotus Revamped 00&.jpg
Good point, please forgive my bad math. A 13/24 FW would work on the bottom end (34/24 is 38.25 GI) but not so great up top (50/13 is 103.8). If she really needs that big of a spread, then it sounds like a triple is in her future...but since you've already put so much work into the bike and she loves it, then the investment would be worth it.
Hard at work in the Secret Underground Laboratory...
There's nothing wrong with a 103.8 top end unless one is heavily attached to pedaling downhil. I raced on a lower top end than that. As for the bottom end there is so much variation in needs according to the rider and terrain it's next to impossible to predict what is low enough. The only good way to tell is to borrow a decently fitting triple equipped bike and see how low she has to go to feel comfortable.

"YEMEN" Top 5 Page for this destination Yemen by janiebaxter
Yemen Travel Guide: 1,106 reviews and 4,304 photos
The history of Yemen, known as "Arabia Felix" in Roman times because of it's fertile soil amid the dry surrounding areas, can be traced back as early as 3000 BC and it has a fascinating mix of Ancient sites along with old and more recent Islamic ones. There is plenty to see and many unexpected surprises both architecturally and culturally!
Yemen is a fascinating country to visit - modern in some aspects with mobile phones wi-fi and some very good 4 and 5 star hotels, yet you feel as though you are stepping back into the middle ages when you visit the hill villages and the countryside.
The country is around the same size as France with an immense diversity of landscape, climate and history. Yemen has 3 UNESCO World Heritage sites - Sana'a Old Town, Shibam and Zabid. I would recommend spending at least 2 weeks in Yemen as there is so much to see, and even then you will feel as though you are rushing through it. During my 2 week trip I saw desert, beautiful Wadis, golden sandy beaches with clear turquoise sea and Dolphins; Orange, Banana and Papaya plantations, lively noisy cities and souks, bustling rural markets, stunning mountain scenery, incredible architecture and much much more. Most of the roads we travelled on were very good, and you can fly between the main cities quite easily too, although you would miss a lot of good scenery and villages.

A NOTE ABOUT MY YEMEN TIPS. You will not see many Things to Do Tips on my Yemen pages. These are in the pages for the individual places I visited. Follow the Links below to see the tips
Sana'a Old Town
A UNESCO world heritage site, Sana'a Old Town has 6000 houses of 6 to 9 storeys high which are between 200 to 500 years old, made from a mix of brick and limestone with intricate windows and fabulously decorative old wooden doors. Wandering around the narrow streets and looking at the architecture is a real pleasure and the souk is full of life and character with plenty to see and buy. In late afternoon you can watch all the activity in the main square then for a bit of peace and quiet you can climb up to the rooftops and look out over the Old Town to the oldest mosque in Yemen, built in 630 AD.
The Hadramaut
Across the desert on the edge of the Empty Quarter The Hadramaut is truly spectacular. We had to fly to Hadramaut, instead of driving across the empty quarter from Marib, and the view of the Hadramaut towns and villages tucked under the massive flat topped mountains from the plane was breathtaking. The architecture of the area is mud brick, like parts of Mali and Sudan, but the bricks here are smaller. Although Shibam was stunning, my favourite place was Al Hajjarain, Wadi Doan which is built on a high rocky outcrop and looks as though it may fall off at any minute.
Tarim is the town of palaces. Built in the late 19th and early 20th century by wealthy families these once stunning buildings are crumbling to ruins with only the beautiful Stained Glass Windows still remaining.
Marib is the old Sabaean capital and the supposed location of The Queen of Sheba. I wasn't supposed to visit Marib due to the Foreign Office in London advising Brits not to go. Officially I spent the day resting but actually got a driver to take me on a day trip from Sana'a which took 2.5 hours each way. The site is quite small but I was the only tourist there so it was easy to look around. The best part is the Old Dam which dates from the 8th century BC.
Close to Hodeidah and the Red Sea, the ancient walled town of Zabid has seen better days but is full of charm and character. In its heyday, around the 13th century, it had 86 mosques and 250 colleges, and a lot of the buildings are whitewashed. It is very quiet and tranquil and the people here are extremely laid back and friendly, making it a real pleasure to walk around this lovely town.
The Rural Wadis
Driving from Hodeidah to Mahwit we travelled through Wadi Surdod, with it's tiny rural villages and smallholdings of terraced agriculture. Many people waved as we drove past and we stopped to watch a young man ploughing with an ox in the traditional way. The women here wear very bright and colourful clothes which is a refreshing change from the all black of the cities.
The Weekly Markets
These markets move around from village to village in the countryside, depending on the day of the week. So if you miss the weekly market in one place you have a good chance of catching it in the next village and they are well worth stopping to look at. We visited the Sunday market at Wadi Al Dhbab. People wearing very bright and colourful clothes come here to sell and buy goats, sheep, cows, camels, spices, baskets, pottery and textiles and it is a wonderful picture of rural life in Yemen.
The Highland Villages
The highland villages were built for defence, like fortresses perched high on the mountains for an easy view of attackers, with agricultural terraces surrounding them. They date back hundreds of years and look as though nothing has changed in that time.

Yemen is one place I've always wanted to go to, realy sad what is happening there now.
Thought I'd check it out as Yemen has been in the news this week! An interesting read Jane.
One of these days I'll get to Yemen! I quite like qat myself I chew quite a bit when I'm in East Africa. I tried to buy some in Liverpool once but everyone was asleep in the qat houses and I didn't fancy hanging around Toxteth longer than I needed to.
Great tips!
Wonderful description, Jane! Thanx!
Great country isn't it? I loved it. I am jealous you got to visit Marib - I would have loved to go there. We just didn't have the time.....

UK Immigration Law
Ask an UK Immigration Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Thanks for your question.
The bad news is that you cannot make an application for a Dependants Visa for yoru brother if he is not wholly financially dependant upin you. As your brother is married and has his own family, he will only be entitled to apply for a Visitors Visda and not a Visa for Settlement unless he meets the requirements of the Immigration Rules for one of the various Visas.
If you wish to discuss, please feel free to ask further questions.
Kind regards,
He can come as a visitor, however, if he wishes to live and work, he will have to make an application under one of the various visa categories.
I am not 100% satisfied about your answer.I am still in doubt.For instance=if he comes to England as a visitor I mean with his visitor visa.Can I help him in England to get him LONG-TERM(2 and 5 years extended visitor visa or Can I help my brother in England to get him work permit.Also Can I send my supporting documents to my brother so would be helpful then he can apply for visitor visa or other visas(Dependant,work permit,long-term extended visitor visa(2 or 5 years)Does he need financially(money)from me?So I can send money to my brother's bank account in Istanbul/Turkey then he can show his bank account to British Embassy in Istanbul/Turkey so British Consular can get satisfied.Also can't I sponsor for my brother from England?When you fully answer my this question then I will pay for you.
Many thanks
Mr.Ayhan Unal
You cannot switch from a Visitors Visa to any other category, therefore, you will be unable to help your brother to stay long term.
If his intention is to work, he will have to make an appliaction for a Tier 1 general Visa as this would allow him to work and stay longer than 6 months.
You may sponsor a Family Visitor, however you will unable to sponsor a work visitor unless you have the appropriate licences.
As a visitor, he will need to show that he will be able to financially maintain himself without recourse to public funds. You will be able to assist by preparing a Statutory Declaration stating that you will financially maintain and accomodate him for the duration of his stay.
Any application your brother makes, whether it be for a Visitors Visa or a Tier 1 General, he will have to make this from Turkey. You will be able to send him documents in support of his aplication.
I hope this helps.

I have no major problem with "positive" annual awards, although I would prefer no awards.
"Negative" awards are an entirely different matter, and that is why I previously objected to the entire awards process.
"Negative" awards are a subtle form of bullying, a way to get someone to conform to what someone else believes is the "proper" behavior on something like this forum. Sometimes a form of revenge. They are not "funny" except to the folks who run the awards, IMHO.
In my case, I have put a tremendous amount of energy in trying to get a successful 50+ forum going. Many have disagreed with this effort. The net results are that we have 150+ people who have shared some significant factors about their 50+ biking, and over 250 folks who have self-identified as being 50+ers.
We have learned that 50+rs ride like crazy, ride hard (and easy) and have reduced the common stereotypes of "elderly" folks.
In any event, I am finding that this forum is taking too much energy and effort, and I will be reducing my participation significantly, which means, I guess, that those nominating me and voting me "Most Grouchy" have "won."
Next year please carefully consider the effects of your "negative" awards on the psyche of individuals nominated and the whole well-being of the forum.

You are 33 so in a better position than me. Your window isn't sinking either. Don't worry about that and focus on your goal of meeting someone who wants more kids together. I was 43 when I had my LO but I chose this path.
Well, my baby window is closed as I have issues and really need to have a hystorectomy. I would have liked to have a pregnancy that I could enjoy, not one filled with BD drama, but such is life.
As for dating... I am mostly content with it just being me and DD, but I am going through a stage right now of wishing I would meet someone. :( My DD is 7 and I have dated two guys - both VERY brief relationships that I really don't even consider "relationships". Both of them I met through friends. I also tried Match for a few months, but the only thing I found there was a FWB (which I have to admit was really what I needed at the time). He is married now, so I don't see him anymore. I don't know if I am ready for trying online again, but honestly it was a big ego boost, which is probably what I need most right now.
**There is a road less traveled that should be taken by more people...the high road.**

Borowiec wants to renew trust in board
Steve Targo
write the author
April 22, 2014 | 10:24 AM
If you don't know Cheri Borowiec, chances are that you're new to Genoa City.
The longtime local parks advocate, former Brookwood School Board member and village utility receptionist, along with husband John, current owner/operator of The Cheese Box in Lake Geneva, can now add village of Genoa City trustee to her resume.
"I felt like there needs to be a woman on the village board, just for balance," Cheri Borowiec said in an April 15 interview. "It looked like that wouldn't happen."
click for larger version
After Karen Bullock decided not to seek re-election April 1, Borowiec filed her candidacy papers and ran uncontested in the at-large race. She received 87 of the 229 votes, according to the April 1 election results posted on the Walworth County website.
That was the largest number of votes for any of the trustee candidates, which also involved two incumbents running for re-election. She attributed her success to her reputation, built on long years of service to the village, but acknowledged that there was a low voter turnout.
But those low numbers, she said, might be because the village never posted that April 1 was Election Day until that afternoon. "This is the kind of thing that irritates residents."
Borowiec said running for village trustee had been "part of my mind" for a while. Once the village board eliminated her utility receptionist job effective Dec. 31, 2013, making the bid for office was no longer a conflict of interest.
In a Jan. 8 phone interview, village president Bill Antti spoke favorably of Borowiec's decision to run for trustee.
"Borowiec has a history with the village, she's been active with the parks, she's got a good idea of what's going on," he said. "She's always been very supportive of the village." But she's taking office in a time of general distrust in the board.
"Right now, the residents feel like they don't have a voice," Borowiec said. "They don't trust what happens in the office. … I feel like I'm in a position to bring them that voice."

Borowiec said she brings to the position a unique perspective on the village and its residents, "knowing the residents in a way that trustees don't get to know them," largely because of her seven years of interacting with those who come in to pay their water bills.
"I've received a lot of input from residents, what they're happy about, what they're not happy about. The thing is, we can't change water rates … but maybe we can help residents in how they're able to pay."
But the main thing, she said, is improving communication between board members and those who elected them.
"It just has a lot to do with the residents feeling like they're being listened to."
Better communication
If there was anything the controversial village hall discussion exemplified last year, it's that some residents don't have that feeling.
But Borowiec said she thought trustees did listen to the people, and provided more than ample information about the issue. A webpage and meetings about the subject were posted. "There was never a lack of information out there … even from the very beginning."
However, Borowiec also said there are some complaints that it appears trustees may not be listening to. She said some residents may not understand how the village's police department works and they "don't see what they're getting for their tax dollars."
"I think, even if we believe we're getting through to people, we still have to make a stronger effort."
She said the village's website needs to be improved, and the community board near the corner of Freeman Street and Walworth Avenue can be used more to post upcoming events and other announcements.
Borowiec also said people should feel comfortable to call trustees with questions, concerns and complaints.
"The village is looking out for them. It's not all about petty, personal agendas. It's about the community."
Before Genoa City
When Borowiec, who is from Chicago, moved to Genoa City in the 1980s, she thought the village was like Bedford Falls, of "It's A Wonderful Life."
"It seemed like everybody cared about each other," she said. "I'd like that to come back. I know it's still there somewhere."
Borowiec said in the 1980s, people hung out on their front porches. Block parties were frequent, people left their front doors unlocked and, if a child left a bicycle in their front yard, "people didn't steal them," she said.
Although issues like the race track proposal, high water bills and village hall building projects tore the community apart, it always came back together.
Borowiec said she's proud of her community "because of the community spirit it had."
"I would like to see that sense of community come back," she said.

On 3rd June 2013, Immune Response BioPharma (IRBP) notified the MCAZ of Zimbabwe that the company will seek emergency approval of Remune (HIV-1 immunogen) in Zimbabwe, as well as begin to stockpile and manufacture the HIV/AIDS vaccine once IRBP has secured a corporate partner in the region. Zimbabwe will be the first country and market in South Africa that IRBP plans to enter with Remune.
Remune is a therapeutic vaccine designed to elicit immune responses against a variety of HIV antigens in patients with the virus. It consists of a suspension of killed HIV-1 virus particles that have been emulsified with Incomplete Freundâs Adjuvant (IFA). Remune is derived from Zairian HIV-1 strain HZ-321, composed of gp 120-depleted HIV-1 propagated in HUT-78 cells and inactivated in beta-propiolactone and irradiation. The inactivated material is emulsified with IFA at 1:1 ratio. Each 1mL dose (at least 100mcg or 10 U) has viral protein and p24.
Previous clinical studies of Remune have demonstrated distinct benefits in both immunologic and virologic parameters in HIV-1 infected individuals undergoing treatment. Subjects undergoing treatment with Remune showed improvements in percentage of CD4 cells, HIV-1 DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and weight. Previous studies also indicate that Remune can safely be given in combination with antiviral drugs.
Remune has been administered to over 2,000 patients in over 25 separate clinical trials, has an excellent safety profile, is well tolerated and is easy to administer via intramuscular injection in the deltoid muscle.

If you moved every desk, from every Illinois school, into one giant classroom, more than half of the kids in those seats would be students of color. That's on par with national figures; last year the U.S. Department of Education signaled that minorities would outnumber whites at the nation's public schools. Illinois Issues: Why Are Women Poor? By Maureen Foertsch McKinney • Jul 16, 2015 Magdelina Zylinska Nearly half of Illinois children in households headed by single women live in poverty — compared with just over a quarter of children in households headed by single men. Cost Of Burying Poor Might Shift To Local Governments By Jamey Dunn • Apr 22, 2015 Jaegar Moore / flickr.com/97408355@N06 Bruce Rauner froze several state grants in order to balance the budget for the current fiscal year. Now lawmakers are asking what will happen to the people who relied on those programs even after their deaths. One of the grants provided money to cover burial of the poor. Under the program, funeral homes provide the services and bill the state to cover part of the costs. Funding Cut Leaves Indigent Dead In Limbo By Rhonda Gillespie • Apr 14, 2015 Jaegar Moore / flickr.com/97408355@N06 Illinois has until recently paid for the cost of burial of its indigent dead. That changed on Good Friday, when the administration of Gov. Bruce Rauner terminated funding for the program. The $9 million loss could push the cost of impoverished decedents' final arrangements onto their families, funeral homes or even counties. Funeral directors say the cut could "cause many problems" for the state, which is struggling to fund operations through the end of the fiscal year on June 30. Unequal Skylines For An Unequal Nation By Randy Eccles • Dec 2, 2014 What would our cities look like if wealth was represented by the height of buildings? Here's Chicago... Impoverished in Illinois By Robert Loerzel • Dec 1, 2014 Robert Loerzel / WUIS/Illinois Issues This story first appeared in the January 2014 issue. Statistics have been updated where new numbers were available. In some pockets of Illinois, where one in every three people live in poverty or close to it, the need is visible in the landscape: empty lots where buildings once stood in Cairo; abandoned houses marked with X's in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood; families living in ramshackle trailers in Kankakee County's Pembroke Township. UIS Poverty Series Continues With "American Winter" Screening By Rachel Otwell • Oct 20, 2014 americanwinterfilm.com It's been 50 years since the war on poverty was declared by President Lyndon B. Johnson, but Illinois still has about 15% of residents living in it – the same percentage living in poverty that half century ago. American Winter is a documentary made about families facing poverty, especially after the most recent recession. It's being presented on the UIS campus Monday night, and a discussion will follow. It's part of the university's series on poverty. Race & Education: The Real Issue is About Justice By John W. Fountain • Sep 1, 2014 "Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." — Frederick Douglass The balls in this Illinois lottery bounced inside a clear bowl as the number-holders anxiously watched.

Illinois Poverty Remains Stubbornly High By Bill Wheelhouse & Associated Press • Jan 30, 2014 Georgetown University A new study finds Illinois' overall poverty rate is about the same as it was a half century ago. The report released Thursday by the Chicago-based Social IMPACT Research Center says almost 15 percent of Illinois residents lived below the federal poverty line in 2012, about the same percentage as in 1960. That's despite scores of state and federal aid programs and a dramatic drop in the number of older people in poverty. Poverty has increased among working-age men and women, and 1 in 5 children are in poverty. It's highest among blacks and Latinos. Gates Cites Illinois Corruption in 3 Myths that Block Progress for the Poor By Randy Eccles • Jan 21, 2014 "Four of the past seven governors of Illinois have gone to prison for corruption, and to my knowledge no one has demanded that Illinois schools be shut down or it's highways closed." - Bill Gates Impoverished in Illinois: One of Every Three People in This State is Poor By Robert Loerzel • Jan 1, 2014 Robert Loerzel / WUIS/Illinois Issues In some pockets of Illinois, where one in every three people live in poverty or close to it, the need is visible in the landscape: empty lots where buildings once stood in Cairo; abandoned houses marked with X's in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood; families living in ramshackle trailers in Kankakee County's Pembroke Township. Ideas on Easing Rate of Extreme Poverty Likely to Go Nowhere By Charles N. Wheeler III • May 1, 2012 WUIS/Illinois Issues Declaring a state goal "that all people be free from poverty," Illinois four years ago created a special panel charged with developing a strategic plan to reduce extreme poverty in Illinois by 50 percent or more by 2015. The timing could not have been worse. Ends and Means: Panel Aims to Free Illinoisans from Poverty By Charles N. Wheeler III • Nov 1, 2009 WUIS/Illinois Issues The new millennium has not been kind to many Illinois families who are struggling to make ends meet, pushing almost a quarter million more residents into poverty, researchers reported recently. About 1 out of 8 Illinoisans — more than 1.5 million total, 526,000 of them children — were living below the poverty line last year, the U.S. Census Bureau reported. The poverty guideline, set by the federal government, was $21,200 for a family of four in 2008. Paul Simon Essay: Burning Question - How to help the poor?

John Wesley Fountain Out of Hiding: Poverty is on the rise in Illinois and increasingly visible By Stephanie Zimmermann & Peg Kowalczyk • Mar 1, 2003 It would be an easy bicycle ride down Lincoln Highway from the Lincoln Mall in Matteson to Rick's Food & Liquors in Ford Heights. Just a tad over six miles, though the traffic in this far south suburban region of Chicago would be busy at the start.

Saw-Toothed Sickles and Bone Anvils: A Medieval Technique from Spain
Nadal, Montserrat Esteban, Roure, Eudald Carbonell, Antiquity
Rescue excavations in 1994 in the volta llarga (vault) of the Roman Circus in Tarragona (Figure 1) made contact with medieval deposits interpreted as a belonging to a tip outside the Medieval city walls. Beside pottery, the rich assemblage included bones of horse, cattle, pig and sheep or goat, and over 80kg of iron slag. The dump was in use during the second half of the thirteenth century, possibly corresponding to the reign of Jaume I. Among the animal bones, two metapods of a horse and an ox were noted as being curiously marked (Figures 2, 3). The faces had been whittled down and smoothed and featured rows of triangular-shaped dents. Although metapods of Bos taurus and Equus caballus with the same type of marks and dating between the tenth and eighteenth century had previously been identified at several sites in Spain (Table 1), their use was by no means certain. The first examples to be recovered were described as if they were decorated objects (Julia et al. 1992). Zapacer (1995) and Antonanzas et al. (2000) noted further discoveries, without offering an interpretation, while Zozaya (1995) suggested a military purpose--an archer's wristguard--for an example found in a military context at Alarcos (Cuidad Real). Between 1994 and 1996 rescue excavations in Tarragona city and Amposta yielded worked bones with the same characteristics (J Lopez pers. comm.; Lopez 1994; Montanes & Ramon 1995; Gebelli 1996; Pinol & Tobias 1996).
In an early study, Semenov (1981) examined a group of fifty worked bones that had been scraped with metal instruments, making their cylindrical section square, and the diaphysis surfaces were covered in triangular cuts or lines diagonal to the central axis of the bone. After experimentation, Semenov concluded that the bones must have been used as files, with the lines being filled with quartz sand to file and polish architectural features. This research was used to assist in the interpretation of a number of worked metapods recovered from a metal-working urban context at the site of Al-Basra in Morocco (Benco et al. 2002). The al-Basra bones displayed iron particles and grains of silica in the lines, and were seen as being employed in the metalworking process, possibly for smoothing or burnishing metal.
In our study of the two worked bones from the volta llarga site, we made use of local ethnographic information, and have arrived at a new suggestion: the bones were used as anvils to anchor the blade of a sickle while it was being cut to make a serrated edge. Here we describe the bones and the observations which have led to this deduction.
The first of our specimens, UE 223-1, is a medial-distal fragment of Bos taurus metapod, from an adult animal (Figures 2 & 3). The measurements are: 116mm. long, 65mm. wide and 30mm. thick. The anterior and posterior faces are whittled down to form new flat and concave surfaces, thus transforming the original cylindrical or oval cross section of the bone into a quadrangular one. On the anterior face can be seen nine rows made up of small dents, all of them located in the diaphysis. The length of these rows depended on the number of dents and the separation between them. With the microscope it was observed that in most cases these dents had edges in the form of a scalene triangle. The bottom was a V-section cleft which varied in length (Figure 4). Some of the dents were deep, with clearly defined edges, while others had unclear contours and were shallower. It was also noted that practically the whole bone surface had flat-bottomed or slightly rounded scratches of various lengths, widths and depths running across it from side to side. The posterior face was flat in the diaphysis and concave in the metaphysis. Twenty-seven different rows made by dents similar to those on the anterior face described above were counted. These were distributed all along the diaphysis as far as the nutrient foramen, and were not seen in the concave area of the metaphysis. …

Tallahassee, Florida- August 30, 2012
A new football seasons is just around the corner and according to a Tallahassee Voices survey, fans in our area have high expectations for their teams.
The survey polled 421 people throughout the area on their expectations for the Florida State University, Florida A&M University and the University of Florida's football teams.
Those people polled predicted the Seminoles would finish 10-2, the Gators 7-5 and the Rattlers 7-4.
Fans around town share their optimism.
"I think if they can get past Clemson they are going to go all the way. They Have a lot of talent and I think this is the year they live up to that talent," says Noles fan, Houston Barber.
"I think they're going to do pretty good. This is my first year here and I'm behind the Rattlers one hundred percent. When we go out of town I'll be here rooting for them," says Rattler fan, Kiana Harper.
This year, panelists expect major success from Florida State. Seventy-two percent of respondents say FSU must win the ACC for the season to be considered a success.
And 17 percent of the panelists believe FSU will win the national title, tied with Louisiana State for the top spot.
All three teams kick of their seasons Saturday, September 1. FSU plays Murray State, FAMU takes on Tennessee State and the University of Florida plays Bowling Green.

Video: Jayson Werth breaks game wide open with a pinch-hit grand slam
The Nationals scored five runs in the seventh inning to break Sunday's game wide open against the Cardinals. Anthony Rendon homered to lead off the inning, pushing the Nats' lead to 4-2. Following a pair of singles off of Jonathan Broxton and a walk from Dean Kiekhefer, Jayson Werth stepped to the plate as a pinch-hitter for Felipe Rivero.
Werth took a first-pitch change-up, then blasted an 87 MPH fastball to straightaway center field, clearing the wall with plenty to spare.
The ball traveled 437 feet, per MASN's Mark Zuckerman. It's Werth's sixth career grand slam. His most recent slam came last September against the Phillies' Aaron Nola.
The Nationals went on to win 10-2, splitting the four-game series at home against the Cardinals.
On the season, Werth is hitting .224/.282/.400 with seven home runs and 24 RBI.
Hyun-Jin Ryu suffered a setback after latest rehab start
ESPN's Buster Olney reports that Dodgers pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu felt sore after his latest rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City. The Dodgers will have him back off his planned assignments as a result.
Ryu hasn't pitched for the Dodgers since September 12, 2014. He had offseason shoulder surgery and then suffered a groin injury in April. The Dodgers were hoping to get him back around mid-June but they'll likely have to wait longer than that now.
Prior to Wednesday's Triple-A rehab start, Ryu appeared in two rehab outings with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. He has decent results in his three appearances, yielding three runs (one earned) on eight hits with no walks and six strikeouts in nine innings.
Xander Bogaerts extends hitting streak to 22 games
Jackie Bradley, Jr.'s hitting streak may be gone, but Xander Bogaerts' is still alive and kicking. The Red Sox shortstop extended his streak to 22 games on Sunday afternoon against the Blue Jays, hitting a ground ball single to left field off of R.A. Dickey in the sixth inning.
Coming into Sunday's action, Bogaerts' .351 batting average was the best mark in the American League and bested only by the Nationals' Daniel Murphy (.390) and Ben Zobrist (.354). Bogaerts' 71 total hits marked the most in baseball entering Sunday as well.
Report: Padres, White Sox discussing potential James Shields trade
Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported on Saturday that the Padres and White Sox have been discussing a trade involving starter James Shields. Those talks have "significant momentum," according to Lin. MLB Network's Jon Heyman, however, says that nothing is imminent and that the Padres have fielded calls from a lot of teams interested in Shields.
Shields, 34, has a 3.06 ERA and a 56/23 K/BB ratio over 10 starts this season. He's in the second year of a four-year, $75 million contract, earning $21 million this season as well as in 2017-18 with a $2 million buyout if his 2019 club option for $16 million is declined. Presumably, the Padres would be covering a portion of that remaining contract.
The White Sox got off to a hot start, but have slumped in May. The club entered Sunday on a five-game losing streak and had lost 11 of the previous 14 games. While Chris Sale and Jose Quintana have been outstanding at the top of the starting rotation, the back end of Carlos Rodon, Mat Latos, and Miguel Gonzalez has been underwhelming.

I'm keeping this short. I've owned mostly Panasonic phones over the years. I hate buying them since I rarely use them, but I like keeping a house phone just the same. This set has everything and replaces my old set of Panasonic phones nicely. The batteries had worn out on the old ones and they were doing strange things. The batteries in this one are rechargables in a standard size and should be easy to replace when the time comes. Wish they would start using lithium batteries in these. I like the feature of linking to my cell phone. I can answer calls on the larger set so I don't have to have that cancer slab heating up my face and melting my brain. My only complaints so far are that the backlighting comes through around the outside of the buttons which is not a big deal at all - the other is that the set is lightweight - maybe that's a good thing. Both of these make this set feel a little on the cheap side. It's definitely good though - should last me a good 5-10 years.

Trap thwarted: OKC Thunder routs Portland for fourth straight win
PORTLAND, Ore. — Some opponents capture a team's full attention. During the Thunder's current seven-game stretch in its schedule, those teams would be Miami (twice), the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago, Memphis and Indiana.
The only team with a losing record in that time frame is Portland.
Evidently the Trail Blazers had the Thunder's attention from the get-go as OKC jumped out early and recovered from a third-quarter scare to post a 109-95 victory at the Rose Garden on Tuesday.
It was OKC's fourth straight win in what is easily its stiffest challenge of this season's condensed 66-game schedule.
Up next for the Thunder (38-12): At the Lakers (31-19) on Thursday; at home against Chicago (40-11) on Sunday; home against Memphis (27-21) on Monday; at Miami (35-13) next Wednesday; at Indiana (29-19) on April 6.
Though Portland (23-27) is under the direction of an interim coach and dropped four players from its roster before the March 15 trade deadline, there are much easier buildings in which to post a road victory.
Tuesday marked the 184th consecutive sellout at the Rose Garden. By comparison, OKC has 40 straight sellouts.
This was hardly the place to overlook an inferior foe.
"There always are games on the schedule where you get excited," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "It's just human nature. It's nothing against the other team. When you play against the best players in the game and best teams in the game, there's something to that."
The Thunder jumped out early and never trailed after the 10:01 mark of the first quarter.
OKC shot 65.0 percent in the first quarter, 66.7 percent in the second quarter and 65.9 percent in the first half for a 65-47 lead.
It was the second straight game the Thunder lit it up before intermission. OKC shot 66.7 percent in the first half at home Sunday night for a 60-49 halftime lead against the Miami Heat.
"It's good ball movement," explained Thunder sixth man James Harden, who had 21 points, five assists and shot 6 for 7 from the field against the Blazers. "Everybody is on pace and on the same page. We get stops defensively and we get easy buckets. In these past couple games we've really been in a grove of passing the ball and sharing it."
Harden was only half-right on Tuesday night when it came to sharing the ball.
Oddly enough, the Thunder had 14 assists in the first half, but just two assists after intermission, yet still won handily thanks to driving the basketball and defense that frequently resulted in easy baskets.
"We're really locking down on defense and we were getting easier shots in the second half," Harden explained. "Russell (Westbrook) was making some good pull-ups and lots of guys were making some shots."
Westbrook's overall performance was superb. He finished with a game-high 32 points, shot 16 for 26 from the field, had eight assists, three steals and just two turnovers. His only flaws were from 3-point range and the free-throw line, where he went 0 for 3 in each.
Kevin Durant added 25 points and shot 10 for 14 from the floor. Serge Ibaka had eight points, 12 rebounds and six blocked shots.
The Blazers went down swinging and made a push in the third quarter.
With 9:32 left in the third period, the Thunder led 69-49 following a Durant dunk. Portland went on a 17-2 tear over the next five minutes to pull within 71-66.
OKC re-established itself with key defensive stops that led to easy baskets, and the Thunder led by double-digits the final nine minutes of the game.
"We knew they would make a run," Brooks said of the Blazers. "They're a very prideful team. They play hard this is one of the toughest places to play. The crowd is outstanding and they had a lot of momentum going but we made some big plays to stop that run."
Though OKC has had several quality runs this season, these last four games might be the most impressive yet.
"I think these last couple games we're playing our best basketball both offensively and defensively," Harden said.

Second-hand clothes journey across the oceans from America and Europe, and are then washed, ironed and sold in bulk by wholesalers in Dar es Salaam to retailers who then re-wash and re-iron them for sale on the streets of Dar es Salaam and the surrounding towns and villages. These clothes are becoming increasingly popular, especially amongst the younger generation, because of their low cost, and the general appeal of anything western or modern. Some argue that the popularity of the West's cast-offs is damaging the local cloth and garment industry. There are many people who still appreciate the beauty of traditional Tanzanian dress; however the growing market in used clothing and its importance to many micro-entrepreneurs cannot be denied.

On a day in 1853, an event occurred that was unusual even for the court of quarter sessions. A man who was accused of assault and battery waited for his case to be called. As he surveyed the courtroom, he recognized several of the faces in the crowd, witnesses to the alleged assault who he assumed were present to testify against him. When the district attorney called the case, the defendant approached the bench but the prosecutor failed to appear. There was certainly nothing unusual about this, one of the common occurrences that so annoyed judges and other court officials, but what happened next was surely out of the ordinary. Intimidated by the presence of witnesses, unsure of what was about to happen next, and unaccompanied by counsel, the defendant confessed. Judge Oswald Thompson saw an opportunity to provide everyone with a lesson in how the criminal law ought to operate, and he took it. Portending a position that would be adopted frequently by the bench in the years to come, he declared that he was concerned only with the "outrage to the public" not with the "private wrong," and so, despite the absence of the prosecutor, he sentenced the man to six months.1
This distinction was a key element in the transition from a criminal justice process controlled by private citizens and aldermen to one controlled by salaried state officials. Thompson's comment suggested that jurists were becoming aware by mid-century of a divergence between the interests of the state and those of the citizenry regarding the accessibility and usefulness of criminal justice. Most judges, like Thompson, conceived of this as a distinction between private and public and saw themselves as responsible to the latter, but this was, at best, a partial truth. It really represented two competing forms of public administration: one that had been evolving for over half a century and drew an indistinct line between the public and the private, and another that made the distinction much more sharply and depended upon a more proactive state to enforce it.
Though by 1853, the latter was still not the dominant belief among jurists, Thompson was able to articulate it so clearly, in part, because of the court's decades of frustration in trying to control the process of criminal prosecution. Private prosecutors had less control over the courts of record than over primary justice, but this was little comfort to court officials. From their
