Wicked Warren; HOLLYWOOD Bad Boy Warren Beatty Has Had Sex with 12,000 Women, According to a New Book, Writes Lindsay Clydesdale
Byline: Lindsay Clydesdale
a LONG with best friend Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty is responsible for having their LA neighbourhood nicknamed Bad Boy Drive.
Beatty's list of lovers crossed generations, from Joan Collins to Madonna and Elle Macpherson. However, his ambition and drive went further than beautiful women.
He used the same charisma and looks to become a respected actor, producer and Oscar-winning director.
But as Star - The Life And Wild Times Of Warren Beatty by Peter Biskind reveals, he harboured even bigger dreams and was once considered a serious candidate for Vice-President of the USA.
From the moment he arrived in Hollywood, aged 22, Beatty made waves.
Tall,handsomeandbrimmingwith sexual confidence, he wasted no time making friends with the right people -actorCaryGrant,directorEliaKazan and playwright Tennessee Williams.
More often than not, it meant another notch on his bedpost.
After a brief but steamy fling with TURN TO PAGE 4 MADE FOR MEN >FROM THE FRONT Jane Fonda, who he met at a screen test, he moved on to Joan Collins, then 26 and at the peak of her fame. Her friends thought he was using her but Joan was deaf to their concerns.
They had an intense relationship and were together for almost 18 months, driven mostly by Beatty's relentless sex drive.
Joan said: "He never stops. In a few years I'll be worn out." When a sceptic asked if they really had sex seven times a day, she replied: "Maybe he did but I just lay there."
Her sister, the novelist Jackie Collins, would later claim Beatty also tried to seduce her, adding: "But Warren would proposition a chair if it looked at him sideways."
When Joan became pregnant, Beatty persuaded her to have an abortion, before suggesting they get engaged.
But with his career taking off and time spent apart as both filmed on location, it wasn't long before the relationship ended.
Beatty was immediately linked with Natalie Wood, his co-star in Splendour In The Grass and wife of actor Robert Wagner.
According to Biskind, Beatty embodied the sexual revolution of the 1960s and was, for many men, the single most persuasive argument against marriage and family.
Biskind also wrote the best-seller Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, which laid bare the excesses of the 1970s movie scene.
He claims that when Beatty's career was flying, no woman was beneath his notice.
"Stars, starlets and models, of course, but also TV newscasters, studio executives, journalists, hatcheck girls, waitresses, dental hygienists, even daughters of friends," he noted.
"Any woman, in other words, who crossed his path - the innocent bystanders grazing the stacks in a library, stopped at a traffic light in the next car, pulling bread off a shelf in a supermarket or sitting, like Collins, at a nearby table.
"How many women were there? Easier to count the stars in the sky. Beatty used to say he couldn't get to sleep at night without having sex. It was part of his routine, like flossing.
"As the evening progressed, he would disappear with his little black book, looking for a phone.
"Simple arithmetic tells us that if he had no more than one partner a night - and often there were several - over a period of, say, three and a half decades, from the mid-1950s when he arrived in New York to 1991, when he met Annette Bening, and allowing for the stretches when he was with the same woman, more or less, we can arrive at a figure of 12,775 women, give or take. That 's a figure that does not include daytime quickies and so on." Beatty has since, through his lawyer, denied this figure.
But even if Biskind's ballpark figure is way off, there's no question that until he met Annette, he was having a lot more sex than the average man, more even than most Hollywood bad-boy pin-ups.
Little wonder that if a film of his life is ever made, he's reported to want fellow lothario Colin Farrell to play him. …

Poor Seamus.
Maybe if he took on board what you have have to say instead of largely posting sarcastic and derisive posts at the expense of older fighters and other posters then I wouldn't have pointed out that he'd made a monumental tit of himself here in the manner I did.
He's a good poster when he wants to be but his routine gets tiresome after a while. It is interesting that you pull me up but Seamus gets a free pass as per usual. There is a bit of a tendency towards cliquishness on Classic sometimes I think.

A Shorter History of Australia
Random House Australia, 2009 - History - 324 pages
`Part of Blainey's magic is that his words float off the page. Here, too, are the puzzles, oddities and offbeat comparisons of his restless, quirky intelligence, constantly astonished and endlessly engaging.'- John Hirst, the age
After a lifetime of research and debate on Australian and international history, Geoffrey Blainey is well-placed to introduce us to the people who have played a part and to guide us through the events that have created and shaped the Australian identity: the mania for spectator sport; the suspicion of the tall poppy; the rivalries of Catholic and Protestant, Sydney and Melbourne, new and old homelands; the conflicts of war abroad and race at home; the importance of technology; the recognition of our Aboriginal past and native title; the economic booms and busts; the successes and failures of the nation.
For this enlarged edition, Blainey has expanded or rewritten some of the crucial episodes and added new chapters on significant events of recent decades. The final chapter boldly asks: what made Australia's history so distinctive? He shows two decisive factors weaving in and out, again and again, over 50,000 years.

Oregon Group Examines Changing Trends in Election of Judges
Johnson, Wendy, Judicature
In April 2012, then Oregon Chief Justice Paul J. De Muniz proposed that the Oregon Law Commission review the state's law relating to the selection and retention of appellate judges. The Commission, which is the state's nonpartisan law revision commission, housed at and staffed by Willamette University College of Law across the street from the Oregon State Capitol, approved Justice De Muniz's proposal and formed the Appellate Judicial Selection Work Group, composed of judges, lawyers, legislators, public officials, lobbyists, and public members who have been meeting regularly to study how Oregon and other states select and retain appellate judges.
After studying perceived problems and concerns, the group plans to recommend whether Oregon's present method of selecting and retaining appellate judges should be changed or amended. Justice De Muniz, who chairs the Work Group, hopes it will be ready to present any recommendations to the Legislative Assembly in time for the 2013 legislative session. Most reform ideas would require state constitutional changes, and thus the Work Group would likely need to recommend to the Assembly a bill that would refer an amendment to the voters.
The Work Group is currently considering various proposals, including a recent recommendation from Justice De Muniz for a new merit selection system without the retention election component that is often coupled with merit selection. Instead, Justice De Muniz recommends that a new state judicial nominating commission evaluate appellate judges and then make retention determinations. Oregon presently uses nonpartisan elections for selection of appellate judges except when there is a mid-term vacancy, in which case the governor appoints a replacement. …

Rounding out the weekend with a star-studded shindig, the 2015 American Music Awards took over the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles last night (November 22).
Leading the pack with three wins (including Song of the Year and Album of the Year) was Taylor Swift, though her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles and his One Direction bandmates nabbed Favorite Group and Artist of the Year honors.
Reality TV star Kylie Jenner has split from rapper Tyga after reportedly dumping him on his birthday.
The Rack City star was photographed celebrating turning 26 on Thursday (November 19) with a group of pals at The Nice Guy restaurant in West Hollywood, before heading to celebrity hotspot 1OAK, where he partied with A$AP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa, Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio.
An Australian woman has been arrested for throwing eggs at Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
The fashion-forward Jenners were promoting their clothing line at a Sydney shopping mall on Tuesday (November 17) when a 30-year-old woman started hurling eggs at the siblings from the level above them.
Living up to her moniker, Rebel Wilson took a few shots at the Jenners and Kardashians during her interview on the Australian radio show "Kyle and Jackie O."
She's always up for a sexy photo shoot and Kylie Jenner brought her A-game for the December 2015 cover of ELLE Canada.
On any given day it's pretty normal to see a celebrity while traveling through LAX International Airport, but on Wednesday (October 21) a quartet of cuties showed up in the terminal.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner arrived on an incoming flight, no doubt taking care of some career duties before returning home to their family.
It's one of the most anticipated collaborations of the Fall 2015 season and last night (October 20) Balmain x H&M launched the ultimate collection in New York City.
She loves interacting with her loyal followers, and on Tuesday (October 20) Kylie Jenner did a little Q&A on her mobile app, inviting fans to submit their queries.
However, when one person asked about how much weed she smokes daily, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star was suspiciously quiet about the issue.

Is Left 4 Dead 2 Team Versus Broken?
Let me kick off this post to say that I'm not the best Left 4 Dead player out there, but I'm hardly the worse. I know my way around the maps, can swing a frying pan like the best of them, and I know when to duck and when to run. My buddies are also fairly decent at the game and while we are still working to coordinate our attacks as the infected, we can typically handle our own as survivors give or take one of us who likes to break from the pack now and then.
Yet, whenever we play a team versus match, the difficulty spectrum is all over the charts. In fact, there are no charts which can make for hair pulling mouth foaming frustration. For example, just on Friday we butted heads with one team and we took them to the cleaners. They dropped out after three maps, denying us our victory. Last night, we played three different teams who raked the ground with us. Granted, there is much to learn from a better team, but three beatdowns in a row was a little disheartening. Needless to say, after getting owned in every sense of the word at the start of one campaign, we did like the other team who we almost beat … we left.
While it may be fun to pound on a team, team versus really shines when two comparable teams face each other. A week ago, we faced such a team and it made for an epic fight. We ended up losing by forty points, but it was a great match for sure. I find these matchups to occur one in ten times. Typically, I find that one team is way better than the other. I'm guessing a lot of people have been experiencing the same thing on the XBox as it takes longer and longer for us to find opponents. A few months ago, it took only a couple of seconds. Last night, one match took two minutes to find the other team.
If Valve has a ranking system, it is broken and if it doesn't have one, the game needs it. It would be relatively easy feature to add which would improve the overall experience of team versus. Give players the option to fight an equal team (ranked matches), but also, give teams the ability to fight anyone (unranked matches). How could Valve miss the boat on this one when this appears to be a standard feature on almost every XBox game out there?
One other thing … Valve needs to remove insta-kill points from the beginning of maps. The first map in the Hard Rain campaign is the obvious offender. All it takes is one jockey or smoker to lead a survivor out back out of the restaurant, followed by a Charger doing suicide charge into the river. New players get tooled the moment they step into the map. The end result — the pounded team quits the match, ruining the experience for everyone.
What do you think? Does Valve need to address this issue, or am I crying over spilled milk?

A nice optionPosted on 03 / 05 / 2014
This is a good place to go when doing shopping with family/friends as you can pick up some essentials at the same time as doing the main shop (if you like Tesco)- saves time if you'd normally have to make a special trip to a health store.
They've got helpful staff and a nice small selection of everything you'd generally be looking for and expect in a health food store. They have a nice range of sun creams and shampoos/ toiletries etc.
Cons: wish it was bigger!

It's a pet owner's nightmare.
You're living in an apartment building and you go downstairs to grab the mail or get your laundry and you return to your apartment to find that your dog is missing.
That's what happened to Sean Wright on March 12th when he returned to his apartment on Pharmacy Avenue near St. Clair and found his Pomeranian Paige had been taken.
It was that very same day that Sean and his wife received a call from a man claiming to have their missing dog.
"Eventually he started asking if we wanted a dog. It was at that point we realized that he was speaking about our dog." said Shane Wright.
The couple was able to get the man to admit that he contacted them using the ID tag on the dog's collar.
Sean and Amanda Wright contacted Toronto Police but felt the case was going nowhere.
That's when the couple requested video surveillance footage from their apartment building on Pharmacy Avenue.
They were able to find images of a man entering their apartment building and then leaving with what appeared to be a small Pomeranian dog.
But they didn't stop there. The couple received tips from people in the community who spotted their "Missing Dog" flyers and those tips led them to a building on Glen Everest Road. The Wrights were able to retrieve surveillance footage from that building as well.
The images show a man with what appears to be a Pomeranian dog in his hands. Another image shows that same man leaving the elevator with a woman who is holding the dog.
Shane and Amanda Wright even received tips from the male suspect's family as they were able to identify him through his contact with a neighbour.
Now they are hoping to track down the unidentified woman seen in the surveillance images. A tip from a neighbour in the Glen Everest building said the woman is believed to have been visiting from Peterborough and likely returned to that area with the dog.
The couple says at this point they just want their dog Paige returned.
Toronto police have confirmed that they have started an investigation into the matter.

Veterans Affairs Can Further Improve Its Development Process for Its New Education Benefits System

The Post-9/11 GI Bill was signed into law in June 2008 and provides educational assistance for veterans and members of the armed forces who served on or after September 11, 2001. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is responsible for processing claims for these new education benefits. VA concluded that its legacy systems and manual processes were insufficient to support the new benefits and, therefore, began an initiative to modernize its benefits processing capabilities. The long-term solution was to provide a fully automated end-to-end information technology (IT) system to support the delivery of benefits by December 2010. VA chose an incremental development approach, called Agile software development, which is intended to deliver functionality in short increments before the system is fully deployed. GAO was asked to (1) determine the status of VA's development and implementation of its IT system to support the implementation of education benefits identified in the Post-9/11 GI Bill and (2) evaluate the department's effectiveness in managing its IT project for this initiative.
VA has made important progress in delivering key automated capabilities to process the new education benefits. Specifically, it deployed the first two of four releases of its long-term system solution by its planned dates, thereby providing regional processing offices with key automated capabilities to prepare original and amended benefit claims. In addition, the Agile process allowed the department the flexibility to accommodate legislative changes and provide functionality according to business priorities. While progress has been made, VA did not ensure that certain critical tasks were completed that were initially expected to be included in the second release by June 30, 2010. For example, the conversion of data from systems in the interim solution to systems developed for the long-term solution was not completed until August 23, 2010. Because of the delay, VA planned to reprioritize the functionality that was to be included in the third release. Further, while VA plans to include full self-service capabilities to veterans, it will not do so in the fourth release as scheduled; instead it intends to provide this capability after the release or in a separate initiative. VA reported obligations and expenditures for these releases, through July 2010, to be approximately $84.6 million, with additional planned obligations of $122.5 million through fiscal year 2011. VA has taken important steps by demonstrating a key Agile practice essential to effectively managing its system development--establishing a cross-functional team that involves senior management, governance boards, key stakeholders, and distinct Agile roles. In addition, VA made progress toward demonstrating three other Agile practices--focusing on business priorities, delivering functionality in short increments, and inspecting and adapting the project as appropriate. Specifically, to ensure business priorities are a focus, VA established a vision that captures the project purpose and goals and established a plan to maintain requirements traceability. To aid in delivering functionality, the department established an incremental testing approach. It also used an oversight tool, which was intended to allow the project to be inspected and adapted by management. However, VA could make further improvements to these practices. In this regard, it did not (1) establish metrics for the goals or prioritize project constraints; (2) always maintain traceability between legislation, policy, business rules, and test cases; (3) establish criteria for work that was considered "done" at all levels of the project; (4) provide for quality unit and functional testing during the second release, as GAO found that 10 of the 20 segments of system functionality were inadequate; and (5) implement an oversight tool that depicted the rate of the work completed and the changes to project scope over time. Until VA improves these areas, management will lack the visibility it needs to clearly communicate progress and unresolved issues in its development processes may not allow VA to maximize the benefits of the system. To help guide the full development and implementation of the long-term solution, GAO is recommending that VA take five actions to improve its development process for its new education benefits system. VA concurred with three of GAO's five recommendations and provided details on planned actions, but did not concur with the remaining two.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: VA took actions that addressed this recommendation. For example, the department provided information showing it had completed in November 2011 a dashboard that included performance measures which align with goals and objectives of the IT project. The information also identified project constraints and described their impact on the vision and expectations for the project. As a result, VA has taken steps to identify and prioritize constraints that would impact how decisions affecting the project should be made; it also has developed the means to compare the projected performance and actual results of its goals, fostering management's ability to reduce the risks of unresolved issues in its development processes. These actions should better position VA to fully maximize the system for processing Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits.
Recommendation: To help guide the full development and implementation of the Chapter 33 long-term solution, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should direct the Under Secretary for Benefits to establish performance measures for goals and identify constraints to provide better clarity in the vision and expectations of the project.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: VA took steps that addressed this recommendation. In particular, in November 2011, the department developed a special report in the Rational Team Concert tool that provides links from the Chapter 33 GI Bill regulations to the system requirements documents, as well as links back to the regulations in another tool called the Rational Requirements Composer. VA provided us a copy of the Regulation to Requirements report that is produced from the bi-directional Rational Team Concert tool. The department also provided evidence that, going forward in the systems modernization efforts, it intends to use these tools to achieve bi-directional traceability for the requirements developed to support Public Law 111-377 legislation that will be included in the department's release 5.0. As a result of these actions, VA now has the capability to validate that the Chapter 33 legislative and regulatory requirements have been implemented. Further, by establishing bi-directional traceability of system requirements to legislation, policies, and business rules, the department has increased its assurance that the requirements will be fully met.
Recommendation: To help guide the full development and implementation of the Chapter 33 long-term solution, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should direct the Under Secretary for Benefits to establish bidirectional traceability between requirements and legislation, policies, and business rules to provide assurance that the system will be developed as expected.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: VA took action to address this recommendation. In particular, the Agile development teams developing the Post-9/11 GI Bill system formally defined the definition of "done" and provided evidence of this definition. In this regard, at an October 2012 sprint review, department officials showed us the department's definition that is located on the VA development teams' wiki page. Department officials also provided us a copy of the documented definition. By providing a mutually agreed-upon definition of "done" across VA teams, the department has established standards to help assess the quality of work that is considered to be complete.
Recommendation: To help guide the full development and implementation of the Chapter 33 long-term solution, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should direct the Under Secretary for Benefits to define the conditions that must be present to consider work "done" in adherence with agency policy and guidance.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: The agency disagreed with, and did not take action to address, this recommendation.
Recommendation: To help guide the full development and implementation of the Chapter 33 long-term solution, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should direct the Under Secretary for Benefits to implement an oversight tool to clearly communicate velocity and the changes to project scope over time.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: The agency disagreed with, and did not take action to address, this recommendation.
Recommendation: To help guide the full development and implementation of the Chapter 33 long-term solution, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should direct the Under Secretary for Benefits to improve the adequacy of the unit and functional testing processes to reduce the amount of system rework.

Jun 2012 - $40.00
We stayed here for two nights on arrival into Maine. Our very woodsy site was situated on a road going down a hill and needed leveling. Campground had a rustic feel to it; restrooms had separate toilet and shower areas and had no indoor sinks. Good Wi-Fi and strong antenna signal for TV. Not far from Mount Agamenticus, worth a drive for the view. Close to Flo's famous hot dogs. - NC Writer
Aug 2011 - $42.00
We love this campground! This is our 5th stay at this campground. Great location for enjoying the beach and ocean. Clean pool. Great area for the kids to ride their bikes. Most recent stay was with 9 other families. We all had a blast and have already booked our sites for next summer. - User2164

Just an overnight stay as we were passing through. Nice office folks. A little pricey, but it was in a nice location if you like the beach. Lots adequate size. - HoMaD
Jul 2015 - $50.00
This cash or check only little campground is within walking distance of the York Beaches. We stopped in just for the night. There were lots of empty sites, but we heard the owners tell folks over the phone to call back the next day to see if sites were available. I got the impression that they were more interested in longer stays (a week), and took short stays on the day of. The sites were close together with good utilities. Seemed a bit overpriced though for what we got. We were near the office and wifi worked well. The York Beaches are full of beach town shops and activities. The beaches are lovely and unusually large for Maine. - ShoreXplorers
Sep 2014 - $50.00
Funky campground with lots of seasonals but with full hookups and plenty of space for big rigs. Heavily forested. Some smaller sites have lots of isolation in the loop at the rear. Couldn't use satellite dish. Short walks to mom & pop eatery, lavish lobster restaurant, harbor with dramatic tide changes, and to tourist area. Don't miss the clam chowder at the Union Bluff Hotel. - Mtmoi

Amber Riley Makes the DWTS Semifinals! Glee Stars React
Okay, we knew Glee's Amber Riley (Mercedes) would make for some fierce competition on this season of Dancing With the Stars. Still, we had no idea that she'd be doing this well, as she is now in the semifinals and still looking like the top contender to snag the mirror ball.
In last night's episode, Saved by the Bell alum Elizabeth Berkley was shockingly sent packing, meaning Amber is still standing, along with Corbin Bleu, Bill Engvall, Leah Remini, and Jack Osbourne. In her dances last night, Amber did pretty well with the Quickstep, earning 8's across the board, but she was even better with the trio Salsa, scoring straight 9's.
Following the performance, Amber — who has been a bit hobbled by injuries — took to Twitter to rally her fans:
What a night! I have a lot of work to do this week! Go hard or go home, and I don't want to go home. #semifinals #DancingWithTheStars— Amber Patrice Riley (@MsAmberPRiley) November 12, 2013
One group of people who are definitely in Amber's corner are her Glee co-stars. Here's what her fellow cast members were tweeting after Amber made the semis:
@MsAmberPRiley LOVE YOU FRONT-RUNNER!— Chris Colfer (@chriscolfer) November 12, 2013
THE HELL!? @MsAmberPRiley @derekhough @MarkBallas! Did u all see that!? AMAZING! #DWTS #TeamRoughley— Kevin McHale (@druidDUDE) November 12, 2013

text: Illinois Education Association Mission Control: Education Advisory Convening By Randy Eccles • Mar 2, 2016 Thanks to all who took the time to participate in the NPR Illinois Advisory Convening. K-12 funding was the main topic the group discussed. Listen to the unedited, raw audio to hear how it progressed. It has been posted in two parts to make file size manageable. View the slide show of the participants above. Education Desk: New Discipline Law, New Discipline Approach By Dusty Rhodes • Feb 18, 2016 ACES Too High Next fall marks the launch of a new school discipline law that limits suspensions and expulsions. To help teachers prepare, the Illinois Education Association brought in Jim Sporleder, an expert in getting even the worst kids to behave. Illinois Awarded Millions For More Charter Schools By Dusty Rhodes • Oct 2, 2015 Rachel Otwell/WUIS Illinois students may have more schools to choose from in the near future. Rauner Wants Teachers Exempt From Fair Share By Amanda Vinicky • Apr 22, 2015 Amanda Vinicky/WUIS Public school teachers and their unions may be next, as Gov. Bruce Rauner seeks to loosen requirements on collective bargaining dues. The vast majority of state employees are unionized. But even those who choose not to join still have to pay what are known as "fair share" dues. That's basically a fee to cover the work unions do to benefit all workers, members and non-members alike. Things like wage hikes, and health care coverage that unions secure in negotiations. But Gov. Rauner alleges the money's also used for political advocacy. Rauner High On List of "Sugar Daddies Of State Politics" By Amanda Vinicky • Jan 28, 2015 Alex Keefe / WBEZ The millions of dollars Republican Governor Bruce Rauner poured into his campaign landed him near the top of a national list of last year's biggest campaign contributors to state races. The Center for Public Integrity gathered data on political giving to state races. It then used that information to crown "sugar daddies of state politics." Gov. Rauner and his wife, Diana, came in seventh. Quinn Defends Public Education, Though He's A Product of Private Schools By Amanda Vinicky • Sep 15, 2014 flickr/LizMarie_AK Who Illinois voters choose to be their next governor could make a big difference in how Illinois funds schools, and even where students can go to get an education. Quinn's agenda seems to leave things basically as-is; taxpayer dollars flow to public schools: "I believe that the public system of education is the best way to go," Quinn told the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board last week. Not that he has much personal experience in the system. Vallas: Rauner's Budget Plan "Insulting To Voters" By Hannah Meisel • Aug 27, 2014 Hannah Meisel/WUIS Governor Pat Quinn's candidate for lieutenant governor says Republican Bruce Rauner's budget plan would mean bad news for schools in Illinois. Democrat Paul Vallas says Rauner's promises to both put more money into schools while also cutting property taxes is unfeasible. Vallas says Rauner's plan to roll back the state's income tax to three percent would create a $4 billion hole in Illinois' education budget. Vallas says that translates to nearly 28,000 in teacher layoffs. Quinn Gets Teacher Union Nod By Amanda Vinicky • Jul 3, 2014 Unions were upset with Governor Pat Quinn for his role in Illinois' pension overhaul. But that didn't stop the state's largest teachers' union from endorsing him. The Illinois Education Association hasn't even had a year to get over the legislative equivalent of a knife-in-the-back. Though the IEA endorsed Quinn in the 2010 governor's race, he both advocated for, and signed, the law that reduces public school teachers' pensions. Quinn, Rauner At IEA Conference - Full Audio By Sean Crawford • Apr 15, 2014 WUIS Republican Bruce Rauner and Democratic Governor Pat Quinn made their first joint appearance of the campaign when they took the stage Friday at an Illinois Education Association meeting in Chicago. More than 1,000 people were in attendance. The two answered questions and also took political jabs at one another. IEA President Cinda Klickna moderated the question and answer session. Candidates Disagree On Government Unions By Brian Mackey • Mar 5, 2014 Brian Mackey/WUIS Illinois' primary election is less than two weeks away. The four men seeking the Republican nomination for governor agree on a lot of topics. But there is an issue in which one of the candidates has distinguished himself: government-employee unions. Brian Mackey takes us inside the debate over whether government workers ought to be able to negotiate over their jobs. You don't have to spend a lot of time listening to investor Bruce Rauner to know where he stands on public-sector unions. The disdain drips from a three word phrase he uses again and again and again: Civic Federation Calls For Taxing Retirement Income By Amanda Vinicky • Mar 3, 2014 As more baby-boomers retire, Illinois is increasingly missing out on a revenue source. Of the 41 states with an income tax, Illinois is one of only three that exempt all pension income. A new report from the Chicago-based Civic Federation says Illinois needs to take a longer-term approach to budgeting; one that is rooted less in politics, and more in reality. Most notably. the group recommends Illinois extend its current income tax rate for a year before gradually rolling it back. Dillard Gets IEA Endorsement By Associated Press • Feb 14, 2014 Brian Mackey/WUIS An influential teachers union has endorsed state Sen. Kirk Dillard in the Republican primary for Illinois governor. The Illinois Education Association announced its endorsement Friday in Chicago. Cinda Klickna is IEA's president. She says Dillard believes in public schools and says teachers and support staff "believe in Kirk Dillard.'' He faces state Sen. Bill Brady, businessman Bruce Rauner and Treasurer Dan Rutherford in the March primary. Preparing To Implement Pension Overhaul — And Not To By Brian Mackey • Dec 17, 2013 Arthur Public Library via IMLS DCC (creative commons) Illinois' biggest and most indebted pension system is beginning to implement changes tied to the pension overhaul passed this month. But officials are also making plans in case the new law is struck down. The Teachers Retirement System is by far the biggest of Illinois' five pension systems, with well over 360,000 members. TRS is also the biggest factor in the pension funding problem, accounting for more than half of the combined $100 billion shortfall.

.- It has become a must-have for Rome's homeless. The Sant'Egidio Community published its latest guidebook for the city's homeless, which includes a fold-out map and tips on where to eat, sleep, and wash up in the Italian capital. It also contains information on legal and medical assistance.
The Catholic community printed 13,000 copies of the guide's 17th edition, which it launched Wednesday, reported Reuters. According to Sant' Egidio, there are about 7,000 homeless people in Rome, and the number is rising due to the increase in the cost of living and in the number of poor migrants.
At the book launch, Mario Marazziti, a founding member of the Sant' Egidio movement, said that Rome has about "10 percent of people living in extreme cases of poverty in Italy," reported Reuters.
The 176-glossy-page guidebook, which its authors have dubbed a "Michelin Guide for the Poor", is titled "Dove" (Where). Other cities in Italy, France, Spain and Austria have duplicated it.
The guide is also being used as a resource for people who are being released from jail and need information on how to get back on their feet.
The Sant'Egidio Community has been nominated several times for the Nobel Peace Prize for its charity work and international peace negotiations.

Tis the Season
It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Tunica County with a flurry of holiday activities from one end of the community to the other.
Superintendent proposes coaching strategy
After reviewing districtwide STAR data from August, September and October, Superintendent of Education Steve Chandler is going back to his football roots. He and the district hope to bring in some new recruits to help coach teachers to successful year end results.
Chandler has recommended the hiring of three instructional specialists for Tunica County Schools. The school board approved the additional personnel at their meeting on Nov. 14. Chandler said "to his knowledge," instructional specialists are a first for Tunica County Schools.
Local events usher in holiday season
Tunica will start the countdown to Christmas in a big way this weekend with three holiday themed events.
On Nov. 30, the Town of Tunica will host its tree lighting in Rivergate Park. At 5:30, attendees can enjoy Christmas carols, hot chocolate and fellowship. A special guest from the North Pole is set to appear.
Kansas man named suspect in bank robbery
Criminal Investigation Division Commander Cedric Davis of the Tunica County Sheriff's Department had a hunch that the public could be an asset in the apprehension of a suspect in the early morning robbery of a local bank. Days later, he was right, as the S.O. announced a suspect in the case thanks to an anonymous tip from CrimeStoppers.
In a press release issued at 1:33 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 26, investigators announced the arrest of Marvin Webb, 45, of Girard, Kansas in connection with the Nov. 23 robbery of First Security Bank in Robinsonville. Webb was in custody in Crawford County, Kansas and will be extradited to Tunica. The release notes that Webb is also a "person of interest" in the Oct. 30 robbery of Mahan's Grocery in Tunica.
