Four years ago, when representatives of the Athens-Clarke County government, the University of Georgia, the Clarke County School District, Family Connection and the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce convened to form Partners for a Prosperous Athens (now OneAthens) to address the community's long-standing intergenerational cycle of poverty, it became possible to imagine a day - not tomorrow, not the next day, but some day in the conceivable future - when the "drivers" of that poverty cycle, like teenage pregnancy, dropping out of high school, poor health care and a limited public transit system, might finally be addressed.
Editorial: Manager position makes sense for counties

Did You Know?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer in women. (Non-melanoma skin cancer is the leading form of cancer among women.)

Taking cat naps can help support breast cancer awareness
(ARA) - On average, cats sleep 13 to 16 hours a day. Many of those hours are composed of naps - 20 to 30 minutes in length - hence the term "cat nap."

Twenty-eight-year-old Jamey Lamont Jackson was charged Monday with being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Jackson was arrested last week. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that according to the complaint, a 16-year-old witness identified Jackson as one of two men she saw running, with handguns, after the shooting.
Another man, 18-year-old Sylvester Lewis, was earlier charged with first-degree reckless injury and two other felonies in the May 21 shooting that left Sierra Guyton hospitalized.
The child was playing with her 12-year-old sister when she was shot in the head.
Online court records do not list a defense attorney for Jackson. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Friday.

High school boys soccer: Summit Academy overcomes slow start to win first playoff game in school history
burfam Axtell, UTMay 2, 2013 12:44 a.m.
While I applaud what Summit Academy has been able to achieve in such a short time, it still needs to be said that of the 16 teams that qualified for the 2A tournament, 11 are small "Private" schools, ALL of which are located in larger urban areas. The schools they are competing against are in mostly small rural communitys...Beaver,Parowan,Gunnison. While these community Youth Soccer programs struggle to compete with the big 3 Football-Basketball-Baseball,Academys in these Larger urban areas have an abundace of athletes to choose and sometimes scholarship to come to their school. It's for this very reason that even in the 5A ranks nationaly...better than half of the top teams in the country are Private schools. It's the nature of the Beast these days. But to ALL the Teams competing, Good Luck, and oh yea, GO BURR KID! GO BULLDOGS!!

This latest entry into the hidden object category takes place in Abra Academy, a school for witches. Players help Wanda survive four years of school by finding hidden objects and adding them to the cauldron.
Unless you're a fan of hidden objects regardless of the storyline or mini-games that occur between hidden objects puzzles, Abra Academy offers little to make it stand out from the other games of the hidden object genre. The game, however, does a good job of hiding many objects as they blend naturally into the scene. The game hides things so well that I needed help from the fairies to find them.
Unfortunately, those same fairies are a distraction. They're flighty creatures that quickly moved around their little cage making it difficult to concentrate on finding the objects. Also, the number of fairies equals the number of hints available. Unless there are only one or two hints left, figuring out the number of hints remaining was tough.
The same thing applies to knowing how much time you had left. The cauldron, where the objects enter, sits on a fire. When the fire dies down, time is running out. But how much time is left? 30 seconds? Five minutes? You can extend time by finding four wooden matches in each scene, which keeps the fire burning bright.
Ironically, trying to click the stick thin matches to get more time leads to losing time because when you click too fast, a mean gremlin comes out and steals time. Other complications include having to back out of the scene to get to the main page to pause the game. You can't pause the game from within the scene. The game does not include a help file. The only help comes from professors and students who pop in with advice. I couldn't remember everything they said.
Mini-games appear when you complete a period. These games were more frustrating than fun. Most of them have letters or objects flowing in a jagged line making their way into a cauldron. As they move, they jerk making it dizzying and difficult to pick them up.
The game's ending was anti-climatic. I graduated, I got a diploma and that was that. Disappointing. The game does offer a good way to keep the eyes sharp for hidden objects games.

In Baghdad Friday, forces killed at least seven people and injured 30 others in an overnight assault in Sadr City, Reuters reported.
The assault focused mostly on fighters from radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army, a Shiite militia, and led to the capture of top Shiite militia commander Abu Diraa. U.S. forces did not identify Diraa, but local witnesses pinpointed him, according to the Associated Press.
The militant leader is "an insurgent leader responsible for numerous deaths of Iraqi citizens," the U.S. military told the AP. Troops arrested him after a gunfight between Iraqi forces and insurgents in the Baghdad slum.
No Iraqi or American soldiers were killed in the raid, the military said, according to the AP.
The crackdown aims to stifle the growing violence between Shiites and minority Sunnis in Iraq.
On Friday, attacks on Sunni mosques around the country killed 10 people, according to Reuters.
In Baghdad, bombs killed five people and wounded nine following Friday prayers at two Sunni mosques.
Three people died and two were wounded in the northern part of Baghdad when a mortar attack targeted a mosque in the al-Wazeriya district.
Another two people died in a car bombing in the western al-Jihad district.
And a roadside bomb exploded outside a Sunni mosque in Baquba, about 40 miles north of Baghdad, wounding seven people.
The attacks took place despite a regular four-hour curfew on driving imposed by the Iraqi government during the period after Friday prayers. Much of the sectarian violence has targeted mosques at that time.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, the U.S. military said Iraqi and U.S. troops also arrested a second militant leader, Mahdi militia commander Adnan al-Unaybi. Troops arrested Unaybi about 60 miles south of Baghdad near Hillah, the AP reported.
Al-Sadr aide Sheik Abdul-Hadi al-Darraji denounced both raids on Thursday and Friday and said U.S. forces were responsible for the deaths of civilians.
"This is a big escalation from the American side. I condemn all the silence toward such violations and I call for the withdrawal of the American forces," al-Darraji said.
In other news Friday, Japan began pulling troops out of Iraq as part of a planned withdrawal announced by Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi last month, Reuters reported.
About 600 troops have been stationed in the southern city of Samawah since late 2003. All 600 will withdraw over the next two weeks, the news service reported.

This post is specifically for ladies who want to wear wigs and weaves as a protective style but are unsure how to blend kinky curly weave with their own hair. Also, for those who've wondered about the fabulous hair I rocked the past few weeks it is a custom u-part wig I fashioned myself using wefted hair courtesy of Owigs.com. The details on the specific hair can be found in the original review, and I must say this hair is only getting better with time and based on my experiences with Owigs, I'd highly recommend them. Quality hair for competitive prices. (If you'd like to know my top brands and other economical weave options, sign up for the L4L Newsletter for your free copy of The Ultimate Weave Resource Guide).
Anyway, in the video tutorial below I show how I prep my hair to blend with the kinky curls of the extensions using the new protein-free styling products by Ampro. This technique works for all textures and of course if your hair is naturally curly you can skip this step altogether. All you really need are your fingers, water, a few small flexirods and a holding product – in this case I used Ampro Clear Ice Foaming Wrap Lotion for soft hold.
Some ladies are confused as to how to blend kinky curly weave with their real hair but as you saw it works for both my natural new growth and relaxed length. It's actually easier to curl your hair than worry about straightening it constantly and the curls actually last an entire week before needing to be redone. To moisturize throughout the week, I simply spray using Jane Carter Solution Moisture Mist. Hopefully this helps someone, thanks for reading!

Baylor University's xTAX Team Top 5 in the NationJan. 21, 2010
By Becca Broaddus
Baylor will compete in PricewaterhouseCoopers' (PwC) Extreme Tax Policy competition (xTAX) national finals Jan. 28 and 29 in Washington, D.C.
"This team has done an awesome job, and we're excited to be going to the national finals again," faculty coach Dr. Brett Wilkinson said.
xTAX teams are a volunteer group of five students who have two weeks to develop a tax policy proposal in response to a set of facts for a fictitious country with some serious economic problems.
"It is a great way for students to hone their critical thinking and presentation skills--skills that all business students will need once they graduate and start working," team captain Amy Pho said.
The case gives students a taste of "real world" tax issues to develop their interest in tax. This year, the topic concerned taxation policy and health care.
Each participating school around the nation has an on-campus competition, judged by a panel from PricewaterhouseCoopers. Of the 12 teams that participated at Baylor, the group of Amy Pho, Jordan Rippy, Stephen Montellano, Whitney Desmond and Joey Morisette came out on top.
The first place team from the Baylor campus competition wins $1,000, and the selection to compete in the finals earns the team an additional $10,000.
The national judging panel reviews the top teams from each participating school and selects the top 5 teams nationwide. The five teams are then invited to Washington, D.C. to compete in the finals.
"Let's just say we're going to bring our 'A' game and do our best," Pho said. "Of course, we all want to win, but above all, I believe it's important that we have fun and truly enjoy what we are doing."
This is the fourth year that Baylor been Top 5 in the nation for this competition. Last year's team placed first in the nation.
Baylor will compete against the University of Florida, Ohio State University, Arizona State University and the University of Cincinnati in January.
Teams are evaluated on their critical thinking, presentation quality and teamwork.
"We hope to win first place again and establish a true Baylor dynasty," Wilkinson said.

Pinch your nose, sit down and put your head back; breathe through your mouth. This is NOT a big deal until it starts happening frequently!
I had nose bleeds as a child, but not often. RELAX!
So did I and thanks but I am relaxed lol.
I didn't know that causes that. But I always have my a.c on.
I know this sounds weird, but my mom swore by it. She had students that had frequent nose bleeds and she said it worked every time. They would roll up a piece of a paper towel and put in inside their mouth underneath their top lip.
That's weird lol..but I put some toilet paper in my nose to help it. Left it in for like an hour and then took it out.Waalaaah! Lol iI remember when I was pregnant,I had constant nose bleeds.
by Member on Jun. 16, 2013 at 8:39 AM

Fall is the best time to plant perennials in many locations across the country. Why not rebuild that barren side yard garden bed that has been plaguing you this fall? Several years ago I had a rather desolate area on the side of my home (see photo right) that I converted into a flagstone walking path surrounded by shade perennials.
Side yards often come with adverse conditions. In my case, I have an oak tree planted on the side of my house that gives shade to cool our home, but is located in such a way as to prevent most light from making an appearance in the side garden. This is common in side yards and I have a solution: a quiet path combined with shade plants.
Flagstone can be a large investment, however, it is also possible to make a path from old bark or mulch. I placed lots of organic matter in the soil then planted it up with a mixture of ferns, hostas, and other part-shade to shade loving perennials.
2 Awesome Perennials For Shade
Dependent upon the variety of fern, you can plant a native to your region, which can be a beneficial home for small mammals like lizards and songbirds. I have often seen frogs and turtles hide in ferns as well. In the photo at top you see Lady Ferns which can grow up to 3 feet tall in my garden. They were given to me as pass-along plants by my mother-in-law and I love them. Squirrels often romp at the base of the oak tree in the ferns. In a dry year the plants will fall to the ground in drought, but will recover in the spring and sprout new fronds reliably. Ferns typically like a rich soil and shady conditions, so they do very well here. Lady Fern, Cinnamon Fern, and New York Fern are some of the easiest to grow.
While not native plants, I find hostas to be great hummingbird and pollinator attractors. Hosta leaves can be amazingly colorful as well and do a lot to brighten up a dull space. Hostas prefer rich, well drained, and moist soil. This area of my garden can be rather dry. Therefore, I plant the hostas, then mulch well in anticipation of drier conditions. I planted several varieties along the walk way including Hosta 'Honeybells', 'Guacamole', and 'Halcyon' – all favorite's within my garden.
Try one of these plants out in your side yard for an easy solution to shady conditions. Plant before the first frost and water well until established.

Mediterranean Meze
Tabbouleh is a classic Middle Eastern grain salad made with bulgur wheat, tomatoes and parsley. Hummus is a spread made from pureed chickpeas and tahini, or sesame seed paste. Both are available in the cold case of many well-stocked supermarkets and delicatessens.
- 1 large eggplant
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 Tbs. plain yogurt
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 Tbs. olive oil
- 2 Tbs. minced fresh mint
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- Pinch of freshly ground pepper
- 1 English (hothouse) cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise and sliced
- 4 plum tomatoes, cut into wedges
- 3/4 lb. hummus
- 2 1/2 cups tabbouleh
- 8 pita bread rounds, each cut into 4 wedges, warmed
Make the eggplant spread
Preheat an oven to 400°F.
Prick the eggplant in several places with a fork and place in a roasting pan. Roast for 30 minutes. Turn the eggplant over and continue to roast until it is very tender and slightly charred and the center has collapsed, about 30 minutes more. Transfer to a colander set over a large bowl and let drain for 30 minutes.
Cut the eggplant in half and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, discarding the skin and stem ends. Add the garlic, cumin, yogurt, lemon juice, 1 Tbs. of the olive oil, 1 Tbs. of the mint, 1/4 tsp. of the salt and the pepper and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until the flavors have blended, about 1 hour.
Make the cucumber-tomato salad
In a bowl, combine the cucumber and tomatoes. Add the remaining 1 Tbs. mint, 2 Tbs. olive oil and 1/4 tsp. salt and stir to combine.
Assemble the platter
Transfer the eggplant spread, cucumber-tomato salad, hummus and tabbouleh to individual bowls and place in the center of a large platter. Arrange the pita wedges around the rim of the platter and serve. Serves 4 to 6.

Google brings together Drive, Gmail and Google+ to offer unified storage
Google has announced its new storage configuration for its online services, bringing together Drive, Gmail and Google+ in one place, with 15GB of storage absolutely free.
The unified storage now suits users who perhaps use very little Gmail storage, but are more active on Drive and Google+. The unified storage means that users are no longer restricted to 10GB for Gmail and 5GB for Drive and Google+. There are also some updates to the Google Drive storage page to mage storage management easier. From here, you can also upgrade your storage plan, with 100GB going for $4.99 a month, and 200GB for $9.99, this also means that you're no longer limited to 25GB of upgrade storage in Gmail.
The changes are going to roll out over the next couple of weeks, and will be available to you, Google app users. Because we know a good chunk of you like to use the Google platform on your iOS device, we thought it was only fair to share this with you.

Helloooooo everypony!
Lionheart doing this post and I thought I'd show a progression as well as a little proof the project's going forward ;)
Today's shot was the Plaza… and here it is in it's infancy. The first image ideas I drafted at the time and added to the timeline to make sure the progression of the action was consistent and flowed well with what was before. At that point we have listened to the song a lot of times.. A-LOT-OF-TIMES. Had we gotten tired of it we probably would have known at this point that we didn't have something good either visually or in terms of audio for what we were doing.
Luckily for us, everything was honky dory and the imagery that kept coming to mind spoke for itself, so I went ahead and linearted the sequence in animation, directly in flash, again to make sure it flowed AND to use as a template later for animating full-resolution. Had I done this just before the actual animation I would have had troubles detecting possible problems. Animation is about testing and testing and testing again to see every little flaws. And even then, you may not see them all. So the sooner the first test draft is done, the more time you have to foresee problems ;)
Of course, before any real layout work is done, the animatic has to be completed so once it was, I set forward to use the designs of the town and render a full-size layout line-art and ready-to-paint background image. This is where knowledge of perspective and balance are needed. Even with a working draft BG, there are major corrections to do in terms of perspective. And it has to be: otherwise the character won't be evolving in a solid background and will look wonky. This meant a lot of back and forth.. communication between me and Spirit was crucial to make sure we both liked what was being done, that the composition was working and that we always had a fresh eye on the production.
So when that's done, it's a good step forward!
Animating is what takes the longest time. Some hate and rue Flash's tweening process.. and I would agree most of the time. See, the Tweening is an estimation of how something moves..as well as a straight line between the two keyframes. So sometime's it's right but for my purposes it's usually wrong and makes a lot of stuff look robotic. I got myself a little plugin to make the ease-in and ease-out automatically which helps a lot and upon which I can add extra keyframes to reduce the 'blockiness' of the animation.
Luna being a quadruped… which I happen to have quite an easy time animating.. doesn't make matters easy thanks to Flash's un-intuitive nature. Drawing a character in perspective is one thing… constructing it out of symbols with a hierarchy is another. BUT it pays off in the end as the character is always on model AND can be re-used later more easily than a drawing.
Once I spent the better part of a 24h period animating a few seconds of animation, it's off to after effects where it all comes together. This is where I get to see the fruits of my labor look more and more part of the scene we intended for it. Color adjustment, lighting, extra shadows and shades, background anims and special effetcs are all done in there. Not one shot of the project will escape from this place ;) All that's left after that is to render the composite images and import in Adobe Premiere where I see if the timing from flash to final was lost or has to be tweaked. Many times I saw mistakes in Premiere as some effects bring up defects or the previous and following shots highlight a problem in that new shot.
Whew.. so there you have it! How things are being done, how it is and will be for what's left of the project, one shot at a time :)
I hope you like it as much as I do :)

Letter from Rep. Kind: Kind introduces the Balancing Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI), Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA) held an event today to introduce the Balancing Food, Farm, and Environment Act (the Balancing Act), legislation that updates the Farm Bill's conservation title to reflect the needs of today's agricultural system and a new set of federal government priorities.
"I have been a champion of conservation in the Farm Bill since I first came to Congress, and the Balancing Act represents the comprehensive reform we need," said Rep. Kind. "Our bill creates a more effective and fiscally responsible conservation title by targeting limited resources to higher impact projects and the family farmers who need help the most."
American farmers strongly embrace conservation efforts, but the current conservation title is outdated and no longer addresses America's most important priorities. It is also difficult for farmers to navigate and forces a one-size-fits-all policy on a varied landscape. The Balancing Act more effectively uses taxpayer dollars by streamlining 23 conservation programs into 11, encourages local and regional partnerships that promote conservation, and provides support and technical assistance to help farmers meet modern-day challenges like food safety concerns and water quality issues.
The legislation, co-sponsored by 13 members of Congress from across the country, prioritizes investment for our most pressing conservation issues, including helping farmers address a changing climate, ensuring that wetlands and grasslands are conserved, and reducing pesticide use. The Balancing Act provides supports for organic farming, by assisting farmers looking to transition to organics and allocating funds that support conservation efforts related to organic food production.
"As the Member representing the largest cooperative of organic producers in the Nation, I fully support the measures in the bill that help those producers choosing to transition to organics," concluded Kind. "By incorporating performance-based, rather than practice-based standards, and reducing paperwork and red tape through program consolidation, all family farmers will benefit from this long-needed reform bill."

When making a quillow with my granddaughter, she picked this fabric I had bought from Goodwill. {because there was a bunch of it and it was cheap}. We made fleece flowers and attached them to the pillow part. I had her quilt around the flowers on the pillow part. The piece was big enough for the front back and the piece that makes the pillow. It had enough color in it that it did not need to be pieced! It turned out pretty good. It kind of grew on me.

Waiting for an ethanol plant in Sharon
That would mean 55 more jobs than the village has right now.
It would mean water and sewer mains would be flowing past the village�s industrial park.
It would mean the industrial park had some industry in it.
When Global Renewable announced in November 2006 that it would build an ethanol plant in the village, the Whitewater-based company expected the plant to be in production by now.
The company has yet to break ground, and President Jeff Knight has stopped saying when he expects to do so. He hasn�t given up hope, however, Knight said.
The village does not have the legal means to recoup attorney and engineering fees racked up during negotiations for an ethanol plant.
One village official said it�s a mistake the village didn�t have a cost-recovery agreement with Global Renewable. Others say the money spent is part of the risk municipalities take while attempting to increase their tax base.
Ethanol plans
Global Renewable proposed a $237 million ethanol plant on Highway 67 on the village�s west side.
The plant was expected to produce up to 120 million gallons of ethanol from 38 million bushels of corn.
Investors planned to buy the corn from within a 50-mile radius of the plant, which would have improved the company�s bottom line, Knight said.
By the end of 2007, investors had gotten together close to 90 percent of the financing needed for the project.
But a drastic increase in corn prices in 2008 along with the economic slow-down made those loans impossible today, Knight said.
�We�re on hold�I think as most of the country is�waiting for the financial situation to correct itself,� Knight said.
He hasn�t given up hope for the project and still is working to move toward construction of an ethanol plant in Sharon, Knight said.
Whether he builds it or someone else does, Sharon is perfectly suited for an ethanol plant, Knight said.
�We had a hill to climb to pull financing together,� Knight said. �We haven�t deserted the site. We believe that site in the long term is one of the best sites for an ethanol plant in the country.�
Other industry
The village of Sharon owns 44 acres adjacent to the site of the proposed ethanol plant. Global Renewable owns the 200-acre parcel where the proposed plant would be located. The two properties together make up the village�s industrial park.
Except there�s no industry.
The village is ready to donate village-owned land to a business or business that want to locate in the industrial park, village President Diana Dykstra said.
Former village President Chuck Dorn had been negotiating with Poly-Flex, an industrial liner manufacturing company.
But the deal fell apart after the April election when Dorn lost his seat to former board member Dykstra, Dorn said.
Dykstra said information wasn�t communicated from the former board to the current one.
Sharon needs to be ready when another company says, �Yes,� Dykstra said.
The village board last month gave staff direction to apply to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the permits necessary to build water and sewer mains to the industrial park, attorney Brian Schuck said.
But the village has not approved construction plans at this point, Dykstra said.
The village estimates it will cost $2.1 million to run water to the industrial park, Dykstra said. Officials want some commitment from a business before they break ground.
�It�s such a risk to put those improvements on our backs without commitment from somebody who�s going to come in,� Dykstra said.
That�s one thing she and Dorn agree on.
�It was anticipated that we would do the actual improvements upon a serious entity wanting to locate,� Dorn said. �From a cash flow standpoint, it wasn�t feasible to put water and sewer in and then sit and wait for somebody to come along.�
The price
It�s been more than a year since the village of Sharon has spent money on the ethanol debate, Clerk Dawn Redenius said.
It�s not clear when the village will start getting money back on the investment.
Redenius said the village spent more than $40,000 on attorneys fees. Dorn estimates the village is out close to $100,000 on attorney and engineering fees.
An attorney worked to write pre-annexation agreements for the project. Professionals also negotiated terms for tax-exempt industrial revenue bonds and worked to help the village create a tax incremental finance district.
The tools were intended to support Global Renewable�s search for financing.
The problem, Dorn said, is the village never signed a cost-recovery agreement with Global Renewable.
That means the village doesn�t have legal means at this time to recover the money it spent during negotiations.
When he asked, Global Renewable said it would not pay for attorneys and engineers fees, Dorn said.
�They�ve told me they�re not going to pay us for it, for us to engage in bond counsel,� Dorn said. �That�s when things kind of broke down.�
Bob Carlson was the village president when Global Renewable started negotiating with the village.
Spending tax dollars is part of doing business as a municipality, Carlson said.
�On some things, we just have to eat it,� Carlson said. �It�s like a TIF district. Some people don�t like TIFs. But a TIF is us gambling with the taxpayers� money. If it fails, the tax dollars are lost.
�But if it works ��
Dan Thompson, the executive director of the Wisconsin League of Municipalities, doesn�t have statistics on how many municipalities create cost-recovery contracts in early negotiations with businesses.
But his gut tells him it�s common for many municipalities to invest a certain amount of money in groundwork in an attempt to land businesses, Thompson said.
It�s not easy for a municipality to ask a potential new business to agree to share costs before they even agree to a location, Thompson said.
But the alternative is doing nothing and waiting for a bolt of good luck, he said.
�When a deal goes sour, it makes ugly headlines,� Thompson said. �What I say to veteran and newly elected officials is, from my perspective, the risk-adverse nature of municipal decision making is one of the biggest drawbacks to economic development.�
November 2006�People pack Sharon Village Hall to hear Global Renewable announce plans to build one of the biggest ethanol plants in the state. Officials expect the plant to open by early 2009 at the latest.
March 2007�The village of Sharon annexes 518 acres. The land is slated as a home for the ethanol plant as well as an industrial park. The village starts to create a tax incremental financing district to help entice the plant to locate in Sharon.
April 2007�The Sharon Village Board approves the sale of $60 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds. The bonds never were sold, and the money never borrowed.
The planning commission approves $13 million in tax-increment financing for infrastructure improvements.
June 2007�Global Renewable gets air quality and construction permits from the state Department of Natural Resources. The permits have since expired.
December 2007�Global Renewable reports that it�s raised more than 80 percent of the $237 million needed to build the ethanol plant. The U.S. Senate passes a bill calling for the nation to produce 36 billion gallons of biofuel annually by 2022.
July 2008�The Janesville Gazette reports that Global Renewable plans to break ground by fall. It�s the last time a company official shares a timeline with the newspaper.
June 2009�A Global Renewable official says the company still hopes to build in Sharon, although he cannot say when.

I was born in the Quad Cities (Illinois side), and grew up in Central Illinois, and lived there until about 5 months ago (spent a couple years in Southern Illinois too)
by and large, people downstate have a pretty messed up conception of Chicago... they don't realize that 1 block in the Loop is more productive than some downstate counties.
still.... it can be said that state lines aren't typically logical. There certainly is a policy disconnect at some levels, you have a very urban area which is essentially the capital of the Midwest, you have a number of metro areas which are becoming focuses of activity for the rest of the state, and you have the gaps which are dying off...
A professor in Grad School pointed out that, simplistically, regions can specialize in efficiency or innovation.... and policies differ greatly to accomplish those goals. I don't think Chicago is failing at all, if anything higher paid professionals are moving into the city, displacing entire families of lower income workers, who are moving into inner-ring suburbs that are going to be the new slums in a few years. The projects Chicago undertakes caters to the types of businesses that want to locate there.
On the flip side, downstate areas get fed up with democratic policies that undermine their ability to attract lower wage jobs (that might still be good salaries for those communities).
The "break off cook county" proposal is suicidal for downstate metro areas like champaign/urbana and bloomington normal...
Living in Iowa, it is nice to see cities on more of an even playing field... although people here still have a paranoid view of Chicago too
