COMPLAINTS about the behaviour of councillors have almost doubled this year, sending costs soaring.
The latest annual report - prepared by Wigan Council and heard at a meeting of the Standards Committee on Tuesday - reveals that the number of complaints has almost doubled since the previous year, despite the introduction of tougher sanctions last summer.
In 2013/14, 27 complaints were submitted against councillors, compared with 17 the year before.
The report shows the increase has had a direct impact on costs, with the £20,000 spend in 2012/13 trebling to somewhere in the region of £78,000 in the current financial year.
Leader of Wigan Council Lord Peter Smith said: "While the majority of councillors understand that it is their duty to behave responsibly and in the interest of our taxpayers, there are a handful of councillors whose childish and irresponsible antics continue to bring our office into disrepute. Behaving like this at the best of times isn't acceptable, so behaving like this when budgets are tight and services are under threat is nothing short of stupid and selfish."
The report shows a total of 83 complaints about members' behaviour have been submitted over the past five years, with a third of those received this year alone - the highest number of any Greater Manchester authorities.
Lord Smith added: "I will make no apology of making an example of those who continue to treat our staff in this way and who drain our economic resources. Our electorate deserve to know who is wasting their money with their childish behaviour."
As elected members, Wigan Council does not have the power to dismiss councillors for poor behaviour. Clr Gary Wilkes, leader of the opposition group, added: "Wigan Independent Network (Win) endorses Wigan Council's strong stance to rid the borough of unmanageable councillors."

Nexon: Prepaid online card ready to conquer the global market with cloud service
Nexon, Korean online game company, is setting the standard through its success in online payment services. The Nexon Online Game Card which started in 2007. This prepaid card met unprecedented success. October of 2011, Nexon launched the independent brand, 'Karma Koin'. With Karma Koin, Nexon became the number one North American prepaid card service. Behind Nexon's continued success and increase in sales, however, the company had other worries. The IT operating costs were higher than expected and the company found it was not easy to ensure the same service quality to customers around the world as it tried to expand its service to all countries.

The secret diary of...Stan Walker
And so it ends.
Farewell, X Factor! Au revoir, too, to the mask I've worn all these months. I'm done with it. It was a role, a character to engage the audience. I played a kind of idiot savant. Perhaps more idiot than savant.
Sweet, dim, monosyllabic, dipping into a bag of cliches and homilies every time I opened my mouth to speak - there were times when I felt I was killing the English language, beating it to a pulp with the calculated popular appeal of my "bro" and my "awesome" and my "youse".
Backstage, I read Proust, and the New York Review of Books. It kept me sane amid the pandemonium and hysteria of sharing a dressing room with Daniel.
"Hairbrush," he'd say. "I can't find my hairbrush. Where's my goddamned hairbrush?"
He'd smash things and cry and sneeze, and then I'd say, "It's in your hair."
And yet, and yet. As I sit in an old armchair in my library at home, restored to mental health, I confess I miss the show.
I never faked the pride I took in the contestants. I loved them for their talent and their courage. Jackie, Whenua, Benny, even Tom... Adieu! Adieu! We shall not see their like again.
We may not see them again at all.
Made myself comfortable in the old armchair in my library and took note of a reference to Ernest Hemingway's classic story The Old Man and the Sea in the New York Review of Books.
The book is about a fisherman trying to catch a giant marlin; the reviewer jokingly wondered whether Hemingway's first, modest draft was about the old man merely fishing for mackerel.
It made me think that I was a mackerel once. A nobody. But then I won Australian Idol, and grew into a wonderful marlin, glittering and special.
Fame is a sea. There's plenty of fish in it.
Made myself comfortable in the old armchair in my library and took note of this morning's announcement listing the finalists in the NZ Post national book awards. Who will take out first prize? There are lyrical novels, nice poems, rigorous studies, strange essays. It's a very strong field. It could be Emily, Kate, Jarrod, even Steve. I certainly don't envy the judges!
Was about to make myself comfortable in the old armchair in my library when I took note of the fact that the phone hasn't rung all week.
And so it begins.
It was bitterly cold when I left the house. I could see my breath. I tucked my hands under my armpits and drew in my shoulders. The sky was dark. It rained.
The room was full. It smelled of mackerel.
I pulled my hoodie down over my head, and put on a pair of dark wraparound glasses.
I took a number, and sat down. The clock ticked.
I wished I'd brought something to read.
Finally my number was called.
I went up to the counter, and said, "I'd like to sign on for the benefit."
A bored official said, "Need your name."
I whispered it.
I whispered it a bit louder.
"Listen, mate, just speak up."
I took a deep breath, and said, "Stan Walker."
The room fell silent.
I think they were asleep.
The official told me to take a seat. The clock continued to tick. And then the man next to me said, "Hi, Stan."
He took off his hoodie.
There was a hairbrush in his hair.
"Some reunion," he said.
"Yeah, bro," I said, "awesome."

Project Summary:
An electronic personal health record (ePHR) could maximize patient/clinician collaboration and consequently improve patient self-management and related health outcomes. The purpose of the proposed project is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of an ePHR that has been modified using a patient- and family-centered approach and incorporates the experiences, perspectives, and insights of patients and family members actually using the system. Comparison of patients with the ePHR intervention to a group of "care as usual" patients will be performed. The investigators Specific Aims are: (1) To improve the application of patient- and family-centered care elements in an existing ePHR, based on feedback from a pilot study of patients and their families. The modified ePHR will be tested in a pilot group of patients with hypertension and their families. (2) To implement and test the effectiveness of the modified ePHR with patients being treated for hypertension by a team of physicians, mid-level practitioners, nurse clinicians, and support staff in two ambulatory settings. Outcome measures will include patient activation and perception of care, quantifiable biological markers, patient-physician communication, and congruence of treatment with guidelines, particularly medication management; (3) To monitor the shift in provider and support staff awareness and incorporation of patient- and family-centered care as a result of implementation of the ePHR using questionnaires and focus groups. If successful, this ePHR could be implemented in additional locations in the Southeast.

TRAFFIC on a road which was closed yesterday because of a burst pipe should be returned to normal this morning.
A spokeswoman for United Utilities said engineers had worked through the night after having to dig up part of Queen's Square, in Rawtenstall, to fix the problem.
She said: "We managed to reopen the road at 6am today, so hopefully everything will be back to normal.
"There are still some cones along the road and we are going to retrieve them at lunchtime.
"But the extra lane closure was cleared this morning.
"Our engineers and out contractors Amey and Gallaghers worked through the night.
"We understand how difficult it was for people because it was at such a crucial road junction.
"We would like to say a big apology to people for the extra disruption, but also thanks for their patience."
The major long-term sewer works which were being done are still ongoing and the lane that was already shut on the roundabout remains closed.
Temporary traffic lights are also in place.

Singing 'Happy Birthday' makes the cake taste better
It's your birthday! You hate attention. But you do love cake. So before you stuff your gullet with red velvet deliciousness, you'd better suffer through the annual off-key embarrassment of everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to you – and then blow out the candles and make a wish, too. That's because a new study suggests that performing a ritual before eating — even a silly thing like our American birthday traditions – actually makes the food taste better.
"We found that people's attention is piqued when they perform a ritual and that helps them to be more involved in what they are eating or drinking," said Kathleen D. Vohs, professor of marketing at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management, and lead author of the new study, in an email. "Even new rituals – that people never had done before – when done before eating or drinking make food taste better."

Environmental Health grew by 6%, reflecting notable contributions from our inorganic analysis offerings plus strong end market drivers, such us water and chemical analysis. Organically, our revenue grew 6%, with Human Health up 9% and Environmental Health up 3%.Our continued focus on improving our operational efficiencies and expanding our operating margins enabled us to exceed our plans for earnings per share in the quarter and deliver adjusted EPS growth of 23%. Across our end markets, there are 2 fundamental themes that are changing the behavior and needs of our customers. These themes uniquely position PerkinElmer to play a significant role in improving world health. First, there is an increasing interconnectivity between human and environmental health resulting in the convergence of our 3 core end markets, Diagnostics, Environmental and Life Sciences. As the developed world faces increasing health care costs, we can leverage our complementary capabilities in these markets for better outcomes and reduce cost. We have the capabilities to aid in both understanding genetic predisposition to disease, as well as helping people avoid potential environmental triggers to disease. Additionally, we can aid in identifying diseases, they're always possible, and help discover more effective targeted therapies. The second overarching theme is that, as the developing world continues to grow rapidly, it is demanding greater access to health care. While many of these developing countries today are focused on necessities such as access to clean air and water and safe food, the rising middle class is demanding improved living standards. This will cause many countries to require advanced medical capabilities, such as early disease screening or diagnostic tests. Today, there is a great need to serve these customers across the increasing level of the requirements and spanning virtually every region of the globe. PerkinElmer's extensive global channel and footprint enables us to address these needs head-on. We have a unique ability to tailor our technologies for the developed world and then bridge them into the emerging markets. While well-positioned to leverage these 2 macro themes to improve global health, we cannot stand still. Critical to our success is our ability to apply our knowledge and expertise to develop cutting-edge innovations that solve customer needs. In that regard, during the quarter, we introduced several innovative new products targeting our core end markets. These included, the HER2Sense preclinical imaging agent which supports breast cancer discovery research. The Panthera-Puncher for the handling of neonatal blood spots. An Ensemble for Biology, a suite of informatics applications intended to serve as an integrated biology workflow for use in research and development, as well as in quality assurance and control.

Trial date set for McBride's doctor
A trial date for the doctor implicated in Robert McBride's drunk-driving case has been set for next year.
Appearing in the Pretoria Regional Court on Friday, Doctor Joseph Morolong Moratioa had his case of allegedly defrauding the state postponed to March 23.
This followed arguments from the state and defence over the trial date.
State prosecutor Petronel du Plessis objected that the date was too far away, while the defence said it was the only date available for the four-member defence team.
Last Thursday, magistrate Peet van Vuuren ordered that a representative from both the Natal Law Society and the Provincial Bar Council appear before him on Friday.
They were due to explain why there had been delays. However, there was no representative from either party, and advocate Mornay Crouse appeared on behalf of Moratioa.
This was because McBride's lawyers, who also represent the doctor, did not send anyone to represent him. Crouse later appeared on his behalf pro-bono.
Du Plessis said the defence must provide a guarantee that they would be in court next year.
She also argued that the defence could be trying to delay the case until the finalisation of the McBride case.
Van Vuuren said the defence must tell the state on January 23 2009 that they could proceed in March.
"I am unhappy about this situation," said Van Vuuren as he set the matter down for trial.
On whether he would subpoena both the bar and the council, Van Vuuren said this was not necessary though there had been delays in the matter that could be seen as unreasonable.
The court also heard that the doctor had opened a case of intimidation against certain individuals who had been threatening him.
Moratioa is accused of defrauding the state, after he allegedly claimed to have examined McBride following the former police chief's car accident in December 2006. - Sapa

World's top two said to be eyeing Foster's
FOSTER'S Group's $3.2 billion acquisition of Southcorp and the global wine glut could ultimately prove to be the beverage group's Achilles heel, with several foreign takeover suitors understood to be sizing up the company for a potential takeover.
The world's largest brewer, InBev, is believed to be running the rule over Foster's, with its next largest competitor, SABMiller, rumoured to be also be mulling over whether to make a $11 billion-plus play for Australia's largest wine and beer group.
The speculation comes as Foster's is expected to announce its full-year profit this morning, along with major revamp of its flailing wine operations and a relaunch of the beleaguered Rosemount wine label it inherited from its Southcorp acquisition.
InBev and SABMiller have made no secret of their interest in the Asia-Pacific, with both recently spending billions of dollars recently to gain strong footholds in the fast-growing Chinese and Indian beer markets.
Now, it appears the two have a growing interest in Australia's beer market which, while a mature one, would provide both companies with a solid base in the region - along with healthy cash flows.
SABMiller this month sought to lift its presence in Australia by forming a joint-venture with Coca-Cola Amatil, to distribute its Peroni Nastro Azzuro, Pilsner Urquell and Miller's Draft brands. Amatil and SABMiller also have not ruled out the future potential of building breweries in Australia through their joint venture.
While Foster's has raised almost $1 billion in recent months selling its international brewing operations, rivals such as SABMiller and InBev have been driving the global consolidation of the global beer market.
SABMiller this month bought the Foster's name along with its breweries in India for $US120 million ($158 million), while Foster's also offloaded its Vietnam and Chinese brewing businesses. Earlier this year, Foster's sold its brand name in Europe to Scottish & Newcastle.
The Foster's flagship beer label - which prides itself as being the world's seventh highest selling "premium" beer brand - is being seen as an increasingly attractive target, particularly given the recent interest of large private equity firms in Australia.
One other opportunity for any potential takeover suitors is the ongoing wine glut, which is expected to provide a drag on Foster's share price for the next two to three years.
If any takeover proceeds from any beer brewer or even a private equity player, it is likely Foster's wine interests will be divested.
Unlike Foster's, Lion Nathan could be out of bounds for any takeover bid. It is already 46 per cent owned by Japan's Kirin Brewery Company.

Returns to Where it all Began in L.A.
National television host and renown book author Tavis Smiley returns to the Southland for his 10th annual 'State of the Black Union' three days symposium beginning Feb. 24 and culminating on Feb. 28 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Smiley began his 'State of the Black Union' seminar to ignite dialogue for many of the ongoing challenges facing the African American community, but he had not a clue that his 10th anniversary would be on the heels of the inauguration of America's first Black President barrack Obama.
"Ten years ago we started on the eve of the Democratic Convention in which Al Gore was nominated," Smiley explained this week. "It wasn't anyplace on the agenda where Black thought leaders and opinion makers could have been brought together for this type of a national dialogue."
That event began with Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, actor and civil rights activist Danny Glover, civil rights leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., National urban league President Marc Morial, college president Julianne Malveaux, U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, Princeton professor Cornel West and Los Angeles Sentinel executive publisher and community leader Danny J. Bakewell Sr.
All of the aforementioned will reconvene for the panel discussion on its decade celebration.
"We started it because of two reasons, one being that the president normally gives his state of the union speech in January and we wanted to do the event in February because of Black History month," Smiley stated.
"The President normally left us out during his speech and did not address many issues that are important to us so we felt it important that we began to address issues affecting us on our own."
The goal then was to help Black American better and all of America better and this year's theme is right in sync with the election of President Obama, "Making American As Good As Its Promise."
Smiley's three day event will begin with 'An Evening with Tavis Smiley' on Tuesday Feb. 24 at the University of Laverne, then on Friday Feb. 27 will be Young Scholars Forum at the University of Southern California Bovard Auditorium, and the finale will be 'State of the Black Union: Making America As Good As Its Promise."
It has become the preeminent conversation of thought leaders and Black opinion makers throughout the nation and will be televised on C-Span at 8 a.m. local time.
Admission for the concluding event on Feb. 28 is free to the public on a first come first serve basis and doors open at 6:30 a.m.

Official 'Unimatrix Zero' Press ReleaseBy Christian
May 18, 2000 - 11:23 PM
Over at the official Star Trek web site, they've put up the official press release for 'Unimatrix Zero', the Voyager season finale. Besides the following synopsis, it also includes the first picture of Janeway as a Borg drone:
Unimatrix Zero is a place within the Borg Collective where a small percentage of drones go during their regeneration cycle. Within this virtual reality, they are able to act and think like individuals. However, once their regeneration cycle is complete the drones have no awareness of the dream-like Unimatrix Zero. After Seven of Nine is brought back to Unimatrix Zero by an old friend to help keep the Borg Queen from discovering this enclave, Captain Janeway sees the situation as a perfect opportunity to try and incite a Borg uprising from within the Collective.
The full press release contains cast, crew and creative staff info, as well as a larger-sized version of this picture, which is of course copyrighted by Paramount Pictures. Thanks go out to Jeff 'Koganuts' Koga and Shaun Aki for this!
Also, UPN just posted the following ad for 'Unimatrix Zero' on its web site:

It's fitting to look towards New Orleans for Mardi Gras week, and it just so happens that two people closely affiliated with the city's football success are in the spotlight this week, for very different reasons.
Best Week goes to Rob Ryan, who served as grand marshal of the Krewe of Argus Parade. Honestly, I have no idea what differentiates these parades from one another, but this one is probably the best, because Rob Fucking Ryan, man. I hope he stays in New Orleans forever and becomes a local fixture. He'll open a po'boy joint out of his van. Then he'll be elected mayor as a write-in candidate. And one day he'll unseat Bobby Jindal. Or at least challenge him to an alligator cage match. First step: invent the alligator cage match.
Worst Week goes to Darren Sharper, because…yeah, rape is pretty much the worst. Sharper is allegedly raping his way across the counry. The latest report alleges that he admitted some of the sex he and his friend/alleged accomplice had in New Orleans was not consensual. Sure, it seems unlikely that an experienced alleged rapist would get caught owning up to his horrible crime, but that's what happens when you're locked in an interrogation room with Rust Cohle.
Rape is horrible and regardless of whether Sharper did or did not do the things he's accused of, it would be great if people would stop raping other people. Please.

text: Colic is extremely common, affecting between one and three out of ten babies, often causing excessive and inconsolable crying when your baby appears to be otherwise perfectly healthy. Although colic is temporary and doesnt cause any harm to your baby, it can last until they are 3-4 months old, which can be exhausting and distressing for parents. Colief Infant Drops is clinically proven to reduce colicky symptoms associated with temporary lactase deficiency. This is when some babies are temporarily unable to fully break down lactose, a complex sugar which is found in both breast and formula milk, causing wind, bloating and discomfort. The lactase in Colief Infant Drops is a natural enzyme which breaks down the lactose in the milk by up to 70 percent, aiding digestion and helps reduce the hours of crying. Colief Infant Drops are: Safe from birth 100% natural Clinically proven Effective with both breast and formula milk Gentle to wean off Colief Infant Drops can be used when breastfeeding or with formula milk, allowing you to continue with your preferred feeding method. When your babys digestive system has matured and your baby has stopped showing signs of colic, the amount of Colief Infant Drops being used can be gradually reduced for gentle weaning off the drops. Colief Infant Drops 15ml provides sufficient drops for 90 feeds.Check stock and price

I drive an iconic, high-performance European luxury car. Well, let me modify that a bit. I drive an iconic, high-performance European luxury car made in 1983. And so could you, for the cost of a new Kia. It's a Porsche 911SC coupe— a car that's no longer rare, collectible, fast, luxurious or particularly desirable. But it is revealing. A hundred and eighty horsepower! A pair of 225/50-16 tires in the rear! A top speed of 135 mph! Look out Kia, here I come! My 25-year-old Porker highlights just how far automobiles have advanced since the time when Koreans were best known for their canine cuisine.
My SC's 3.0-liter flat-six originally came with a fuel-injection kludge (before I converted it to carburetors, just to rub in the antiquity). It boasted an air intake system so convoluted the oxygen entered through the front door, walked upstairs to the guest bedroom, climbed out the window, crawled back in through the kitchen window and then went down to the basement to find the combustion chambers. The less said about the tangled exhaust and constricted catalytic converters the better. But hey, it had dual-zone climate control!
We're talking two levers that resemble lawnmower throttles, one left and one right. The levers pull rusty cables that close trapdoors in the exhaust system. (It's a favorite path for mice seeking to occupy occasionally-driven Porsches.) The movement forces air to circulate around the exhaust pipes before entering the cabin. Bonus! Any oil that leaks out of the lower cam covers (which seal about as well as a re-corked bottle of Argentinean Merlot) instantly vaporizes and blends with the hot air warming the cabin. And if the exhaust springs a leak, you die of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The rest of a vintage 911's cooling/fan/defrost controls remain a mystery– even to people who have owned these cars for decades. Some levers go left, some right. I carry a six-inch length of dowel to jam into the fan lever at full displacement, which sometimes seems to bring the windshield defogger to life. The air conditioning never worked well, and you had to remove and bench-press the crappy compressor to do any minor engine work. The Germans apparently did their hot-weather testing in Provence.
And speaking of engine work, every 12,000 miles you had to gap the valves (Stuttgart had yet to discover hydraulic lifters). If you didn't, bad things happened. My friend John Phillips III (Car and Driver scribe par excellence) admitted in a recent e-mail, "I had a 1974 911S whose valves I failed to adjust at the proper interval. This resulted in a catastrophic engine event in Maumee, Ohio. I had to leave the car at a gas station, call a cab, ride to the Toledo Airport, rent a car, drive to Columbus, rent a truck and trailer, go pick up the car, drop it at Midwestern Porsche-Audi, and leave it there for two months." Amor vincit omnia.
[A Porsche dealer charged the equivalent of changing your Toyota's timing belt every 12k miles for this trickery. These days, amid shrieked curses, slowly spreading pools of oil and dripping knuckle-blood, I perform the job myself. I use a feeler gauge that looks like a laparoscope tool for a prostatectomy. It beats working for a living.]
The 911 SC's cruise control consisted of a soup can-size pneumatic cylinder and a Bourdon cable, most likely interchangeable with the one used for the "climate control." I threw all that away along with the a/c, so I have no idea how it works. But I don't think any electrons are involved. Did I mention the SC's road manners? Probably not, since I spun the car so hard at Lime Rock last month I popped the windshield loose. People who are serious about making older 911s handle put rods, bars, tubes, straps and welds all over the place in an often vain attempt to make both sides of the car fly in formation.
Had I purchased my SC back in the fall of '82, it would have set me back about $35k moderately optioned: sunroof, a/c, manual leather seats, lousy Bosch fog lights, an even worse AM/FM Blaupunkt and some other stuff (all of which I've sacrificed to the Great God of Lightness). That's the equivalent of almost $73,500 in today's money, or enough cash to buy a brand new, 325hp Porsche 911S (with no options whatsoever).
But what the hell. Old 911's respond to tweaking as well as a '36 Ford flathead. My heavily-breathed upon example puts out a dynoed 287 hp, and I love it when people ask me if it's new. Of course, just about any new car you can name would be faster, safer, more comfortable, more reliable, handle with greater assurance and stop quicker than a stock '83 911SC. But it wouldn't be better.

About Me
Trying to see as much of the world as I can while I'm still relatively young.
I am an open-minded person, always in a good mood, trying to learn as much about the world as I can. I grew up and graduated in South Africa, spent an indecisive year or two doing on-line teaching and then made the move to South Korea. I was there for 5 years and am now traveling my way home through Western Europe and England.
I am at my absolute happiest when I am traveling and I find it very difficult to complain about anything while being on the road. My curiosity forces me to move a bit faster than most backpackers, which means I tend to see a greater number of places but ultimately get to know fewer people, which I sometimes regret. Couchsurfing will hopefully be a way for me to create new friendships in new places without staying there for weeks.
I believe that we are, to a large extent, the result of all the external influences in our lives - our culture, race, religion, language, family and peers. The only way to truly discover who you are is to remove yourself from these comfort zones. Traveling, especially solo-traveling, in places vastly different from where you grew up, allows you to notice which parts of your character are inherent to who you are and which parts are simply the result of these external forces. This is the main reason I left South Africa by myself to live in South Korea. It is why I want to keep traveling and meeting people from different parts of the world.
It's hard to describe yourself in a little box. I was very influenced by the writings of Eckhart Tolle, but as I approached the age of 30 I find myself becoming slightly more cynical as I get older and less impressed by all things mystical. Still I remain tolerant and curious of everything.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
At the moment I am homeless and backpacking Western Europe.
I was hosted by a female couchsurfer in Beijing for a few days in August 2011 and hosted a woman from Poland in 2013 and had excellent experiences each time. I did not receive many requests due to the tiny size and location of my apartment in Korea, unfortunately.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Mike Rowe, host of "Dirty Jobs," which airs on the Discovery Channel, recently spent about eight hours working with Purdue students who study forensic entomology. That's the process in which insects are used to determine a subject's time of death and other information to aid in criminal investigations.
Rowe's crew captured every moment as the students presented him with four dead pigs in different locations, and gave him a hands-on look at how maggots and other insects can be used to determine time of death.
For Rowe, who has done more than 300 dirty jobs since the show began six years ago, his time on Purdue's campus ranks among the nastiest,
"We were here from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., which for us is about half of the time we would normally spend, but it had three times the stink that we would normally encounter and probably five times the smarts we would normally deal with," he said. "In the end, it was a very compact and efficient 'Dirty Jobs.'
"You've got some really big brains doing some important work, and at the same time you have young kids learning the trade."

* Steve Huntley has a bit of news today about the GOP gubernatorial primary race. Andy McKenna may keep spending on TV ads throughout the holidays…
A February primary usually means a timeout in campaigning while voters are preoccupied with the holidays. But McKenna is exploring using his money advantage to press his message in December.
* Congressman Luis Gutierrez has endorsed Pat Quinn. From a press release…
Pointing to Pat Quinn's decades-long fight for "kitchen table" issues and reforms that really matter to working families, U.S. Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) today announced his endorsement of Governor Quinn.
"Pat Quinn is a champion for consumers, for senior citizens, for veterans, for Latinos and for all of the people of our state," Gutierrez said at a news conference at Caballeros De San Juan (Credit Union 1) in Chicago. "Governor Quinn understands that every day in Illinois, families are sitting at their kitchen tables making tough decisions about how to make ends meet. Pat Quinn is the person I want in the Governor's office helping those families."
* Dan Hynes got off a pretty good zinger in his first ever head-to-head with Gov. Pat Quinn…
"All of a sudden [Hynes] says he's for a graduated income tax, but it was on the ballot in 2004, he voted against it," Quinn said. […]
"If the competition is who was for raising taxes first, I guess you win," [Hynes] told Quinn.
The two met at a Rock Island County Democratic "town hall" last night. Quinn appeared to be a bit testy at times. For instance, when asked if they would support whomever won the Democratic primary, Hynes said he would…
Quinn said Hynes' answer couldn't be trusted, but didn't answer the question directly himself, only saying, "I'm a Democrat. I always have been."
* Dock Walls slammed Gov. Quinn yesterday for challenging his nominating petitions…
Walls is the only African American running for governor. He says Quinn is trying to knock him off the ballot to improve his own chances of getting most of the black vote in the primary election.
"it's racially based challenge of petitions of a candidate who's qualified to be on the ballot for a nefarious purpose," said Walls.
A Quinn spokesman says Walls has experience on both sides of the petition challenge process. The spokesman says Walls once failed to get on the ballot for city clerk because he didn't have enough legitimate signatures and another time unsuccessfully challenged Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's nominating petitions.
* The Illinois State Board of Elections held its ballot placement lottery yesterday…
Topping ballots in Feb. 2 primaries for governor will be William "Dock" Walls of Chicago for the Democrats and state Sen. Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale for the Republicans.
In the races for nomination for U.S. Senate, the lottery showed that Robert Marshall of Burr Ridge will be on top in the Democratic contest, while Don Lowery of Golconda is to lead the GOP ballot.
Ballot placement is far more important for down-ballot races…
In the field of six Republicans and six Democrats seeking the post of lieutenant governor, attorney and family businessman Don Tracy of Springfield finished first in the GOP while state Rep. Art Turner of Chicago won the top spot among Democrats. Turner's petitions face a challenge.
In the race among three Democrats and three Republicans for the state comptroller nomination, Democratic state Rep. David Miller of Lynwood got the first ballot position while former state Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka won the GOP's top placement for the office.
* Democratic US Senate candidate Jacob Meister is trying to get a bit of traction by attacking his opponents…
Meister called state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias a "career politician" and made note of Cheryle Jackson's work as a one-time spokeswoman for disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
"Cheryle Jackson comes right out of the inner sanctum of the Blagojevich administration," Meister said. […]
Meister criticized former Chicago inspector general David Hoffman for trying to make the race about ethics.
"Hoffman is playing the slick game of trying to make this election about corruption and his plan for fighting corruption," Meister said.
He has a very long row to hoe, to say the least. Trying to get your name known before Feb. 2nd is pretty near impossible without a multi-million dollar warchest.

Quinn must have been a little testy. "Support the nominee" is a pretty standard affirmative in any primary, especially in front of an audience of party stalwarts.
And what did Quinn mean by Hynes' answer couldn't be trusted?

Suzi Schmidt said on the radio this morning that she doesn't even have a campaign office; she uses Osmond's office. I love how Suzi's campaign seems directly financed by the Lake County and Illinois taxpayers. You've got Pedersen, a paid county board member and an employee of the state, working for Schmidt, the president of the county board, while on the State's time in JoAnn Osmond's office. I guess up here in Lake County, the GOP officials that control our county board and Illinois House offices view ethics rules as 'guidelines' rather than the law.

Meister is really reaching out for central Illinois voters. He has my vote.

ICIRR says
Well, it's always fun when a group is skewered on their own spear.
And the unpleasant truth for CAIR is they DO have a lot of slippery associations.

Quinn seems scared of Hynes. Ever since Hynes expressed his intention to run for governor, Quinn has seemed a little more than peeved/miffed. Beyond just the prospect of healthy competition, it's as if he is taking it personal or something. I'm starting to wonder if it has anything to do with age? While Hynes may not have the bubbly personaility that Quinn projects outwardly, people Quinn's age are on the verge of retirement, or at least they should be.
Re: Politics
(and I don't mean any disrespect here)
This is increasingly a young man's game. It's time for the baby boomer (plus) generation to step aside and have a seat; they've had their turn/time. Illinois needs someone with vision to lead it out of crisis and forward.
Daley, Madigan and Quinn all represent a bygone era. They should all just step aside for someone younger and take a trip around the world. The time has come for them and others to let go. And, the same was true of John McCain and that's why I am glad that he didn't become president: too old–too stuck in his old ways.
Both Hynes and Quinn have reveresed roles. Even with all the endoresments and party support, Quinn just looks and sounds old. The slate is old-school democratic party, and it's tired. Hynes has embraced his role reversal and he's showing more fortiude than I think people would have expected. He's sharper in this thinking and talking. Let's face it on the budget issue, because he is the CFO of the state, he's more than qualified to discuss that matter because he has had to deal with state fiscal issues, whereas the former Lt. Gov. did not. Hynes appears to have an apptitude for fiscal issues too.
Re: political endorsement
(scandals and corruption etc.)
I understand that endorsements can and do mean a lot, but I suspect there are voters out there who are not at all impressed with the politicians who have endorsed Quinn, especially the politicians from Chicago. I can picture voters thinking that they may not like congressman or alderman so and so, which causes the voter to look at Quinn with a bit of a jaundice eye.

DAS 333 - Origins
An interdisciplinary general education course examining how scholars in the sciences and humanities approach knowledge about the universe, the planet earth, and life itself. How did the universe begin? How did life begin and how does it evolve? How has the planet changed throughout its history? How were answers to these questions discovered? How do we construct narratives about these events, and how do those texts reveal our assumptions and values?

Lynn Gwost's English class showed what they learned through artistic expression
By Tina Snell, Staff Writer
Lynn Gwost's English class at the Little Falls Community High School recently read Elie Wiesel's "Night," the biography of his time in the Nazi concentration camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Gwost asked her students to show her how the book, along with the movie, "Schindler's List," affected them. How the class study of the Holocaust changed their perspectives.
The result was a room full of emotionally explicit creations of art, of soulful words, of passion.
The students, all juniors, said they previously knew about the Holocaust, but to read a memoir, to watch a video and to see the effects on individuals brought it all to life, made it more personal.
Jordyn Himley said the book, the movie and all she learned from her research was eye opening and so sad.
"Guards shot people for no reason in the camps. It makes one question mankind," she said.
Himley created a poster and she shaded the background from white (to depict innocence) to red (to show the bloodshed) to black (showing death). She added the Star of David and the words, "We Remember" to keep the Holocaust alive. The words were created from pictures. Those in color to show hope, those in black and white showing those who did not survive.
The word "ENOUGH" was created with bodies. It was made by people wanting today's genocide in the world today to stop.
"It's the same as it was in 1944," she said. "And no one is doing a thing about it."
Amisa Saari said that reading an actual memoir and not just doing research made all the difference to her. She said there were moments that were hard to stomach.
"I didn't know that 'Schindler's List' was a true story until the movie was over," she said. "It's amazing to know that of the 1,100 people Schindler saved, tens of thousands of descendants are alive, all from the efforts of one person."
Saari's project for Gwost's English class was one small suitcase. She put the name of Hanna Brady on it, a real person who had blond hair and blue eyes, yet was Jewish.
"Brady did not survive the Holocaust, yet her belongings did and are currently traveling around the world to make sure people remember what happened to the Jews in Europe during the war," she said.
Inside the suitcase she put pictures of the many items stolen from the Jewish peoples when they were sent to concentration camps. She also has pictures of the many dead.
She put replicas of hands, reaching to each other, and branded with swastikas.
"Outside of the suitcase, I put pictures of concentration camps and inside are personal items the Jewish would have packed when they were herded to the camps," Saari said.
She packed clothing, money, jewels, glasses and photos of family. The word "Hope," is stained with blood and the Star of David was added to show their struggle to keep their faith. All were mixed together with dirt, as if the trip had been arduous.
"It didn't matter if someone was rich or poor, each Jew was given the same fate," she said. "I wanted to show the tangible items that belonged to them, things to touch and hold, to show what was lost to the six million Jews."
Matthew Klos said the entire area of study was enlightening. He said he knew about the Holocaust, but it was so much worse than he had previously realized.
Klos' project was a painting of the camps. The sky changes color, darkening from left to right, showing the Jews did not know how bad their situation was. The buildings are shown in steady decline which depict how their lives deteriorated.
Carley Townsend said she has traveled to Germany and did visit the concentration camps.
"That made me put extra effort into my project," she said.
Townsend created a huge swastika. She put pictures of families as they looked before the war on the bottom of the piece. On the right arm, she put pictures of items taken from the Jews. On the top, there are identification cards, and on the left are pictures of Hitler's forgotten victims, those killed not because they were Jews, but because they were disabled, were Native Americans or Jehovah's Witnesses. Any reason that distinguished them from the Aryan race.
"On the back of the swastika, I put Hitler's picture in the middle to show he was in the center of the Holocaust," she said.
Diana Kempenich said studying the Holocaust showed her how much we, in America, have. How much we have to be thankful for."
Kempenich's project was a jacket with quotes from the book "Night" written over the entire garment. Down the left arm is written men and down the right is written women.
"That depicts the soldiers separating the families," she said. "'Men to the left, women to the right.'"
Kempenich added the Star of David with a swastika hanging from it, symbolizing the Jewish people hanging onto their faith while the Nazis were taking over.
Not only did the class study the Holocaust, but Gwost also spoke about the modern tragedies taking place in Darfur and other parts of the world.
"This project helped me understand what my students learned from this unit," she said. "Each project showed so much more than any two or three pages of writing would have."
