USDA Celebrates Success of 4-Year-Old Conservation Stewardship Program
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13, 2012 – In just four years, America's top conservationists have enrolled 50 million acres in USDA's Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), a program that helps farmers, ranchers and forest landowners take conservation to the next level. CSP is aimed at producers who are already established conservation stewards, helping them to deliver multiple conservation benefits on working lands, including improved water and soil quality and enhanced wildlife habitat.
"Farmers and ranchers throughout the country are making USDA's voluntary Conservation Stewardship Program a major force for conservation," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said. "The protection of natural resources through conservation programs such as CSP create outdoor and wildlife recreation opportunities that provide crucial jobs and bolster economic growth in rural American communities."
The land enrolled in CSP totals more than 78,000 square miles, an area larger than Pennsylvania and South Carolina combined, making the program one of the largest voluntary conservation programs for private lands offered by USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service. Nearly 12.2 million acres, or 18,750 square miles, were added to the program's rolls this year.
Eligible landowners and operators in all states and territories can enroll in CSP. NRCS local offices accept CSP applications year round and evaluate applications during announced ranking periods.
A CSP self-screening checklist is available to help producers determine if the program is suitable for their operation. The checklist highlights basic information about CSP eligibility requirements, stewardship threshold requirements and payment types. It is available from local NRCS offices and on the CSP website: http://go.usa.gov/g9dx.

When Kate Middleton appeared at her royal wedding in a dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, the world was shocked—not so much at the choice of designer, but rather at how she could possibly have managed to keep it a secret. Now America has had its Middleton moment.
Priscilla Chan, who married Mark Zuckerberg in a surprise wedding in their backyard in Palo Alto on Saturday, has become an instant star. And now the dress she wore for the nuptials, a simple lace gown by little-known bridal designer Claire Pettibone, has become an overnight sensation.
The dress, called "Sky Between the Branches," retails for $4,700, on the low end in an industry in which dresses can sell for upwards of $25,000. The tank-style design, of matte sequins on embroidered lace over silk charmeuse with a mermaid silhouette, has a high lace neckline in the front and a low-cut back. According to the designer, the dress has an Asian influence and is inspired by nature. And already, Pettibone says she has been contacted by representatives from 14 boutiques worldwide who want to carry the dress. The "Chan Effect" has begun.
A bride can sometimes spend months choosing a wedding dress—and involve several friends and family members in the process. But Chan succeeded in selecting the wedding dress anonymously in an elaborate scheme that involved flying to another state, using a fake name, and having a friend handle the purchase.
The story begins in October, when Chan pulled what the designer calls a "stealth move": she flew from Palo Alto to shop for a dress in Denver, where she wouldn't be recognized. Having seen Pettibone's designs online, she and a friend went to Little White Dress, a store in the Highlands neighborhood that carries the designs. According to the store's owner, Cate Malone, Chan tried on "about a half a dozen" dresses before eventually settling on "Sky Between the Branches" and a hair clip.
Chan came into the store twice: first in October, when the order was placed, and again in April, for another fitting. She came with a friend and told the salesperson that their budget was unlimited—but seemingly didn't raise any eyebrows. According to Pettibone, Chan used the name "Priscilla Tuan" to order the dress anonymously, but Malone at Little White Dress would not confirm that detail. The designer says it was Chan's friend, doubling as an assistant, who handled the transaction for the purchase, which, in retrospect, seemed odd. "We had no idea who she was until yesterday," Malone says. The order for the dress was placed with Pettibone's factory in California, and it took about four months to complete.
Although Pettibone has been designing dresses since 1994, she has not been widely known until now. She says she discovered that Chan had worn her design late on Saturday night, when she and her husband returned home from dinner and went online to check the news. "Honey, she's wearing our dress!" she recalls her husband shouting. They were shocked—and tried to find out where Chan could have purchased it. They called all their stockists around San Francisco, and even the famous Kleinfeld's boutique in New York City, but had no luck. That led the couple to search their corporate records, where they began to go through the last year's orders one by one, until they found an order placed by "Priscilla Tuan," at Little White Dress in Denver, listing the order date as May 20. (There's wide speculation that the wedding was purposely planned around the date of Facebook's IPO, but Chan ordered the dress in October, before the IPO date was set—with the May wedding date on the order form.)
"I think aside from the marrying-the-billionaire part," Pettibone says, "[Priscilla] is typical of the brides that are drawn to my collection: she's smart, educated, and making her own choices. She could have come to me and I would have done anything for her. But instead she decided to make her own choice under the radar."

Mark Ronson Debuts ICONIC Remix Of Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper's 'Shallow'
By Peyton Blakemore
August 14, 2019
Mark Ronson has gifted music fans some of the most iconic songs of the last two decades, and on Tuesday night (August 13) he went back into his extensive catalog to gift Seattle fans a DJ set like none other. Playing a number of his fan-favorite tracks, some of his latest bangers off his new album Late Night Feelings, and even some non-Mark Ronson Top 40 tracks, the 43-year-old producer, songwriter, entertainer extraordinaire turned his iHeartRadio LIVE with Verizon show into an actual nightclub experience.
For his unforgettable performance, Mark —who has worked with everyone from Amy Winehouse to Alicia Keys to Camila Cabello to Bruno Mars to Lady Gaga, and that's just naming a few — started things off by treating the crowd to a super cool remix of his A Star Is Born track "Shallow," featuring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Instead of playing the original melancholy single for the crowd, Mark bumped things up a notch by putting J-Kwon's "Tipsy" as the Oscar-winning song's backing. (It was pure magic!)
Next up, Mark sat down with 106.1 KISS FM's EJ to discuss the influence behind his album, his award-winning track "Shallow," and, of course, the bomb a** features on Late Night Feelings.
EJ got the ball rolling by asking if Mark knew while working on "Shallow" if it would be as big of a record as it is now. "No, we had no idea," he admitted of the track, which he co-wrote with Gaga, Andrew Wyatt, and Anthony Rossomando. "When we wrote that song at the beginning when they were writing the music for the movie, there were so many great songs in the film, I didn't even know if we were going to make it into the film let alone be the song for the movie. Even now sometimes when I still hear it [...] it still gives me chills. I can't believe I was a part of that song."
The two then discussed Late Night Feelings, which Mark released in June and described as a project full of "sad bangers."
"Sad bangers [are] like a song you can dance to or cry to, depending on your mood, or sometimes both," he explained. "So that can be like anything like Robyn, Amy Winehouse, Drake, "I Will Survive," any of those [songs] that make you feel something."
As for where he got the idea to make a sad-banging album, Mark admitted that it came from good ol' heartbreak. "Sometimes I get inspired by an idea, a concept [...] This time I just had a broken heart and that dictated the tone of this record and everyone who's on it was willing to go to that zone," he shared. "Everyone's had their heart broken once or many times."
One of the most talked-about songs on the album is his track "Find U Again" featuring Camila Cabello, who Mark said he "stalked and stalked" to get her on the record. "I kept sending her instrumentals," he said. "A lot of the people on this record, Miley Cyrus, Angel Olsen, Camila Cabello, these are people that I'm actually a fan of their music. So I write these songs, or start a little of a song and send it to them like 'Hey, do you want to be a part of this?' That's what happened with Camila."
Mark went on to perform "Uptown Funk," "Electricity," "Ooh Wee," "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart," "Old Town Road" and more! Check out his full set list below!

Mueller: Economic Crimes to 'Skyrocket'
FBI director expects "inevitable increase" in economic crime, public corruption.
March 25, 2009 -- The number of economic crimes is expected to "skyrocket" in the near term, and the FBI is working to fast track some financial fraud cases, Director Robert Mueller told lawmakers today.
"While the FBI is surging to mortgage fraud investigations, our expectation is that economic crimes will continue to skyrocket," he told members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"The unprecedented level of financial resources committed by the federal government to combat the economic downturn will lead to an inevitable increase in economic crime and public corruption cases," he said.
Mueller cited the FBI's growing mortgage fraud caseload, with the number of cases rising from 700 three years ago to more than 2,000 currently.
"We're working with a number of U.S. attorneys and with the Department of Justice for what we call fast track prosecutions in a number of areas," Mueller said, "We're prioritizing our cases to hit the most egregious early and put those persons away."
Last week, FBI Deputy Director John Pistole testified before congress and said that the bureau has more than 566 open corporate fraud investigations, including 43 major corporate fraud and financial institution investigations that are directly related to the current financial crisis.
Mueller testified today that he is briefed on the ongoing cases every other week and that the bureau is pressing ahead quickly.
"I have, for several months -- been briefed about every other week on the cases relating to the subprime mortgage crisis," he said. "And in those briefings we talk about -- very generally, not necessarily specifically, about any issues that might come up that would delay investigations, and we address those.
"We're anxious to make certain that we press ahead as fast as we can in all investigations."
To deal with the increase in cases, the FBI is looking to move some agents from national security cases to white collar and mortgage fraud cases. Currently, the FBI has more than 250 agents working on mortgage and financial fraud cases. In comparison, during the height of the S&L crisis in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the FBI had about 1,000 agents working on various task forces.
Next month, the Senate is expected to vote on legislation to increase the number of agents that can be hired to work specifically on financial and mortgage fraud cases.
Public Outrage Over Financial Crisis
Despite public outrage over the financial crisis, only one major criminal case has come from the FBI's investigation of the subprime lending outfits, when two Bear Stearns hedge fund managers were indicted in May 2008 on fraud, conspiracy and insider trading charges. The two hedge funds were heavily invested in subprime mortgage securities that lost $1.8 billion in 2007.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., asked Mueller if the FBI would be pushing to ensure that the financial fraud investigations go to the top levels of corporations and businesses that engaged in fraud. "What I would ask is your assurance that your instruction to your organization will be to pursue those investigations as high up as they can be driven," he said.
Mueller said that in his experience, he'd like to tackle white collar criminal cases by using narcotics prosecutors to quickly and effectively bring cases and possibly seek guilty pleas in the cases.
"The fastest way to get these cases done is to obtain the intelligence indicating who was in what place at what time and then have persons cooperate and cooperate as far at the top as you can, as fast as you can go, as opposed to putting agents in a big room with a lot of paper and trying to sort through the paper," he said.
"You have our assurance that we will use that approach to go as far as we can in the organization."

Well, you guys did it! We reached 300 friends (or likes) on CHICKS RUN WILD's Facebook page and now I will dress up in a chicken suit and prance around downtown Portland (and other locations in the city) for all to gawk and ponder at in the very near future. (I've been very busy lately and haven't had the time or energy to do anything chicken suit-related.) I'm actually looking forward to doing this stunt. Very curious to see the reactions I'll get when I walk around town. Pretty sure some witnesses won't even break stride.
To offer some sort of prize for everyone who participated, here are some scans of the very first sketches I did for the book. I already had the ball-like look of the little chicks in mind when I first started drawing some ideas in my sketchbook oh, so long ago. (These drawings are dated August 30th, 2009 - I've been done with all the artwork for CHICKS since February of last year!) Enjoy:
To keep up to date with anything happening with the book, including listings of any appearances or readings that both the author, Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen, and I will be doing for CHICKS, as well as sketches, drawings, artwork, reviews, etc., be sure to like us on the CHICKS RUN WILD Facebook page! If any kids get inspired to draw their own wild runnin' chicks, we'll post them there as well. Should be a lot of fun.
CHICKS RUN WILD will be released on January 25th - in FIVE DAYS. Can't wait!

The Bitter Pill of Sequestration
Jolt to Economy, Lack of Details and Flexibility Create Problems for States
By Mary Branham
Stephen Fuller likens the pending budget cuts from sequestration to crash dieting.
"There's a couple of ways to lose 40 pounds," he said. "Going on a starvation diet is one of them. That's sequestration. (Then there's) working out and cutting out dessert and not eating so much bread and reducing the portion size—you're actually stronger and healthier when you get done and you've accomplished the same thing."
Fuller, director of the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University's School of Public Policy, has conducted several studies of the economic impact of the federal Budget Control Act of 2011. That act, commonly referred to as sequestration, requires a reduction in federal spending over a 10-year-period from selected federal programs if Congress cannot agree on how to reduce the nation's debt by $1.2 trillion by Jan. 1.
"Federal spending is going to be deeply and abruptly cut and it will come from discretionary programs," said Fuller.
Both sides of the cuts—defense spending and nondefense spending—will have an impact on states. The problem, said South Dakota Chief Financial Officer Jason Dilges, 2012 president of the National Association of State Budget Officers, is that states can't really plan for cuts without more specifics.
"If we knew how big the pill was we had to swallow and what it looked like, we'd do our best to be able to make sure we were able to take it," he said. "Not knowing how big or small or what color it is or what it's going to taste like, that's a real tough thing for us, and, like anybody else, the fear of the unknown is really a very powerful thing."
Add to that the possibility, which many are predicting, that Congress will reach a deal after the elections and the uncertainty grows.
"Most states seem to be approaching it as if something will change the sequester," said Scott Pattison, NASBO executive director. "The assumption is that Congress and the president will make some change to the sequester."
Immediate Impacts
Nevertheless, budget officers are making contingency plans for the effects of sequestration as best they can, said Pattison.
In Vermont, for instance, state officials are approaching federal reductions from a broad perspective, looking at it as more than what could happen because of the Budget Control Act, said Matt Riven, director of Budget and Management in the Vermont Department of Finance and Management.
"The issue is more than just one bill or one law," he said, "and we're taking the longer view of how do we approach an environment that, it's likely, over the next decade, the federal funds that we receive are going to be diminished."
Vermont set up an informal process with regular meetings of the budget team to conduct a thorough review of all the programs for which the state receives federal funds. The team looks at the climate in Washington and the effect any potential federal action would have on those programs.
The fiscal offices of both the executive and legislative branches also conduct a semi-annual review of that initial review to develop a consensus analysis.
"The value of that is that it allows us to focus on how to prepare and react to the federal reductions that might be coming rather than fighting about what the real number is," Riven said.
Vermont also has set aside a one-time reserve to prepare for federal reductions.
"By no means is it big enough to absorb the entire potential (Budget Control Act) reduction, but it would at least help us to absorb a portion of it," he said.
But absent information about specifics of cuts, Riven said, the state can't determine which ones it might backfill.
So, like other states, Vermont is telling agencies they should not assume the state would make up cuts, Riven said.
South Dakota, Dilges said, is assuming the cuts will be real and effective Jan. 2, 2013. The budget office has asked departments to look at the proposed programs covered under sequestration and ascertain whether they are pass-through grants to local governments or dollars that can be used for funding staff salaries, benefits and other operating costs.
"Obviously, I think we would try to look at the areas that are most flexible and would allow for us to retain as much staff as we could," he said.
Then, the state would decide whether it would replace lost federal funds, leave it to the local governments to decide what to do about the program or just eliminate a federal program due to lack of funding, Dilges said.
Chris Whatley, director of The Council of State Governments' Washington, D.C., office, said 28 of the 42 streams of federal funding to the states would face cuts. The programs facing cuts are found across a range of departments and services, from special education and low-income heating assistance to veterans' employment and training.
Whatley said states, for the most part, will be able to pass those cuts along to direct beneficiaries—either the people receiving the benefits or local governments that might administer programs. The exception, he said, is in some education funding.
"Cutting education funding is one of the most difficult things for a state to do," Whatley said, "in part because of protections in state constitutions and state common law."
Those education cuts are targeted, and some educators believe they would be
harmful, not just in the short-term but also in the long-term
"We know that if sequestration does occur that it will affect our special education, our students with special needs, career-technical education," said June Atkinson, North Carolina's superintendent of public instruction. "It will have an impact on our schools that receive Title 1 funding and that will certainly hurt our work in remodeling education and giving the necessary support for us to move forward to nearly a 100 percent graduation rate."
In fact, the graduation rate of North Carolina students who were involved in career-technical education was 90 percent last year. Cuts would affect from 53,000 to 56,000 students, based on various projections, Atkinson said. And, she said, with the unemployment rate above 9 percent, more students in North Carolina are living in poverty, making the need for Title 1 funding even greater. Federal Title 1 funds target schools with high numbers of students living in poverty.
She hopes Congress will make changes to sequestration. While cuts to federal education spending may be imminent, Atkinson would like the decisions on spending to be left at the state level.
"We would like, at the state level, to have the flexibility of determining where we would take cuts based on what our data show as far as what programs are yielding positive results for students," she said.
Long-Term Impacts
Education isn't the only area in which the effects of sequestration will be felt long-term.
The immediate impact of sequestration will eliminate some services and jobs, pushing the stagnant unemployment rate of around 8 percent to 9.5 or 9.6 percent, Fuller said. The 228,000 federal jobs lost in nondefense cuts and 48,000 federal jobs lost in defense cuts are just the beginning. Fuller estimated in a July study that a total of 2.1 million jobs would be lost, with about 1.59 million of them coming from small business. Those losses would be direct, indirect or induced—those jobs that depend on spending in other areas of the economy—according to the study.
His July study didn't include the collateral effects—what happens when the federal government isn't doing what it always has, things such as food inspection, border control, regulation of motor vehicles or port control. The FAA wouldn't have as many inspectors, so airplanes wouldn't fly as often, he said.
"You would have an enormous disruptive effect … that would cost jobs and cost economic activity," he said.
The argument, he said, is that the economy can't absorb those kinds of losses. The jolt of sequestration, bringing with it the end of government borrowing that makes it difficult for private sector borrowing, will make it difficult for the private sector to grow faster, Fuller said.
"It takes a long time to shift an economy from government dependence to private sector growth," he said. "That's a 10-year proposition, not a one-day proposition."
In a growing economy, he said, as government pulls back, the stimulus generated from government spending shifts to the private sector, which grows as people invest.
"In a weak global economy, it's going to take even longer, so that these cutbacks will actually strengthen the overall economy in the long run," Fuller said. "In the short run, the medicine is pretty severe."
The Need for Cuts
Few people dispute that federal cuts will eventually be made and states will have to make decisions on those cuts.
"At some point, we just have to be prepared and to make the tough decisions that are necessary and not be afraid of them, because we all know that more of the same is not sustainable," Dilges said.
"The federal deficit is just so large that at some point, I think they're going to start to have to do something, so we are going to see cuts over the long term whether they do it through sequester or not," said Pattison.
How cuts will be made is the big question that remains as Congress is in recess until after the election.
"There's numerous ways to do this and sequestration is the most severe and (will) have enormous negative impacts on the economy," said Fuller. "The economy is very fragile and this is enough to put it flat on its back."

text: I work at the interface between high-energy physics, string theory and cosmology with particular interest in theories of the early Universe. Recently, I have been studying quantum effects from interacting fields in spacetimes where the rate of expansion accelerates. In the context of inflation, this is the basic theory from which we can calculate deviations from Gaussianity. Various ongoing missions are constraining this fundamental characteristic of primordial perturbations. More speculatively, I have been looking for possible sensitivity to initial conditions through infrared effects. If present, this persistence of memory goes against the standard folklore that inflation is insensitive to initial conditions and it may also provide a natural explanation for the smallness of the measured value of the dark energy today. Finally, I also work on topological defects and their high energy signatures such as gravitational wavebursts from cosmic strings.

I'm not sure when a company will truly perfect a pair of wireless sports headphones, but Denon's $149 Exercise Freak in-ear Bluetooth headphones get you about 80 percent of the way there. I found them comfortable to wear and, just as importantly, they fit securely and I had no trouble getting them in my ears. They also sound good for Bluetooth headphones, though just how good they sound will depend on how tight a seal you get.
The Exercise Freaks come in blue, yellow, and black, and as you might expect from sports headphones, Denon says they're sweatproof. I liked them, though they do have a few small drawbacks. First, they're a bit pricey (compared with some of their direct competitors, at least) at $149. Secondly, not everybody will like their design, which can come off looking a little too much like a pair of oversize hearing aids. But if you can live with those issues, the Freaks are some of the better wireless sports headphones I've tested.
Design and features
To put the Exercise Freaks on properly takes a bit longer than it takes to put on your typical pair of in-ear headphones. First, you have to hook each earpiece onto each ear, after which you guide the articulating ear pieces into your ear canal. It's a little bit of a process, but once you get everything lined up, the earphones fit very securely and really don't move at all now matter how much you shake your head.
As part of the design mix, there's also a patent-pending air cushion that the company says both mitigates "the centrifugal force of pressing a button to control music while jogging" and provides "ventilation in between the earpiece and your head." I'm not sure that it merits a patent, but hey, it serves as a dime-size bit of padding that seems to work as advertised.
According to Petro Shimonishi, Denon's senior global product manager for headphones, the company's designers paid special attention to the fit of the Freaks, recruiting close to 100 "frequent exercisers" to test early prototypes so that the final design would deliver the "most secure and lightweight fit."
The Plantronics aren't considered noise-isolating headphones because the eartips' design allows some sound leakage. In contrast, you can go either way with the Exercise Freaks. If you want to maximize sound quality, you can jam the eartips into your ears and attempt to get a tight seal for better bass response. However, Denon reps said the Freaks weren't necessarily designed to have a tight seal because a lot of runners and bikers want to be able to hear ambient noise, namely traffic, for safety reasons. So you can wear them a little looser, with the eartips sitting in your ear canal but not jammed into it.
Like virtually all stereo Bluetooth headphones, this one also has the requisite built-in microphone for making calls from virtually any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone. You can pause or play your music by pressing down on pressing the Pause/Play button on the right earpiece, where the volume control buttons also reside (they're a little small but you can operate them by feel without taking the headphones off). Press that Pause/Play button twice quickly, and you'll skip a track forward. Press it three times and you'll skip a track back.
To accept an incoming call, you press the Call/End answer button on the left earpiece. It worked just fine in my tests.

Police, prosecutors on notice for false police reporting
Officer Kendell Richburg pleads guilty in federal court
Federal prosecutors have put Baltimore police and prosecutors on notice about criminal cases that may be tainted by false police reporting, the WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team has learned.
These cases may involve false police reports. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, the Police Department and Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office have been provided a summary of the cases in question, which total between six and 12, the I-Team learned.
The cases are now in question as a result of the same investigation involving city police Officer Kendell Richburg, who just pleaded guilty in federal court in a scheme involving an informant. Richburg kept the heat off the informant, a drug dealer, and, in return, the dealer told Richburg who he sold drugs to so Richburg could make it seem like he witnessed a drug deal, WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team lead investigative reporter Jayne Miller reported.
Richburg was wiretapped in the investigation, and the other cases came to light because of the wiretaps, Miller said.
Richburg was assigned to a special unit called the Violent Crime Impact Division in the city's Northwest District. The names of the defendants in the other cases or the crimes alleged were not immediately known.
No other officer has been charged, and the investigation continues.

Numbers don't add up when jobs in play
During the six years Pat Quinn has been governor of Illinois, he has managed to give away more than half a billion dollars in tax breaks to favored corporations.
Mind you, this is the same administration that jacked up income taxes for the rest of us by 67 percent.
And it's the same administration that has presided over a state government that is months late in paying its bills, has the worst credit rating of the 50 states and has the worst-funded pension system in the nation.
And yet, Quinn has put corporate subsidies into overdrive through the state's EDGE tax credit program.
Companies like Boeing, Continental Tire and Ford all have been slurping at the state trough at the expense of ordinary taxpayers.
The secret for businesses to get these handouts is to simply threaten to move elsewhere.
It's hardly a fair way to administer funds.
Don't believe me?
Well here's a question to ask yourself: Who do you think is more deserving of a tax break – your family or Ford?
Yeah, I thought so.
Now, the Quinn administration likes to trot out some nonsense about how many jobs this corporate welfare has "retained" or attracted to Illinois.
They tack the number at about 61,000.
Those numbers simply aren't believable.
And here's why: No one knows what is going on in the minds of corporate CEOs.
Would they uproot their businesses and leave the Land of Lincoln if they didn't get a handout from the state? Probably not. But we'll never know.
More importantly, when government creates an uneven playing field jobs aren't just added; they are also subtracted.
Subsidized companies may add jobs, but what about their competitors forced to lay off workers because they are having trouble competing?
Or what about working families and small businesses forced to pay higher taxes to fund this practice of cronyism? They will have less to spend and jobs that otherwise would be created won't happen because money is being funneled to favored corporations.
But no effort is made by the administration to calculate how many jobs their program may be costing the Prairie State.
Even the bosses for the government worker unions are appalled by Quinn's penchant for corporate giveaways. It just goes to show you, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
A far fairer way to promote economic development would be to simply lower taxes for everyone – families, small businesses, large corporations – everyone.
No special favors would be given.
Industries would decide to stay, grow in or come to Illinois based on the state's overall business climate.
No longer would government pick winners or losers.
That job would be left to the consumer.
And yet Quinn, as well as his Republican and Democratic predecessors, have blanched at such a notion.
That would mean no more press releases trumpeting how many jobs they have "created."
It would mean no more ribbon cuttings and photo ops to attend and brag about the latest business they have anointed with taxpayer cash.
Politicians would call that a nightmare but for the rest of it would be a dream.

Once someone explained to me why the date had to keep changing, I was able to follow the weather report myself and could set expectations appropriately with my customers."

Jennah Barber, Water Damage Restoration in Greenwich, CT2017-12-28
★★★★★ - "My elderly uncle had a flood in his home and my cousin (his son) who lives in Florida called me to help him. I found this company online and gave them a call. The gentleman who answered the phone was extremely polite and professional. He reassured me that they would immediately schedule an appointment for the inspector to access the damage. In the meantime, he walked me through a list of things to check on and do to avoid any further damage from happening before their arrival.
One thing that is really great about this company is the fact that they are punctual and work expediently. The worker arrived within the 2 hour window that they said they would. This was really great because every other company I've dealt with in the past (for example cable & internet or boiler repair) always have me waiting around the entire day and show up at the end of business hours and make me lose an entire day sitting around at home.
After they put all of the machinery in place and cut out the parts of the wall that were damaged they set everything up for us for repairs. My uncles home was back to normal in 2 weeks!

Guys were always on time, no problem with communication at all. They defiantly saved our home and I am really happy with the work they did"
Peter Mccorter, Basement Flood in Greenwich, CT
★★★★★ - "I called them by reference of my friend due to our hot water heater failuring. Our ceiling was leaking into the living room during heavy rain we had over the weekend. They arrived on time as promised, went through every detail and then began doing the work. I got a little nervous when they started doing the demolition on my ceiling, but I realized after all of my research that there is no way around that if you want to keep your home free of mold. So far everything is nice and clean and we're waiting to hear from my insurance carrier to start doing a rebuild. I will probably use them for that part as well. I will recommend them to my friends or family. They definitely earned my trust."

★★★★★ - "Green Restoration made the best of what could have been a total disaster. We have an old Colonial and I don't think they ever replaced the plumbing because our upstairs bathroom disintegrated into a stinky mess that leaked all over our laundry room and most of our kitchen. We originally chose them because they were the first ones who could come out, but they immediately assesed the situation and moved very quickly to help us contain the mess and understand our homeowners insurance paperwork.The whole thing could have been a lot more stressful if the clean up and repair had not gone so smoothly. They were there on every from start to finish and everybody who came to work on my home did a good job. The only way I could be more pleased is if my pipes didn't break to begin with, but they did so I am glad Green Restoration was there."

I decided that I would try a new company in my area and went with Green restoration. I found their information while searching online. I thought their prices were very reasonable so I called them and my appointment was scheduled right away. The carpet guy showed up on time, he was polite and professional. He did not waste anytime getting to work. He pre-treated my carpet to get out some tough stains I had. By the time he was finished my carpet looked brand new. I didn't even want to walk on it. I was very satisfied with their service. The whole process was easy from the beginning to the end and I will most definitely use their service again."

Being a business owner you will find you mind being in so many places that you forget the little things but it was brought to my attention that the air was a little musky and the employees suggested that i get the air ducts cleaned. I didn't have to do much my assistant handled it for me. She called and by the end of the day she was able to tell me that they would be in the office that same weekend.They were quick, clean and knowledgeable. The tech came on Saturday in the morning when none of the other workers were in. He was able to help us understand our heating system better as well. He surely gave us some excellent advice on how to have cleaner, fresher air in the future as well as lower our overall heating bill. We will call again for sure for our next duct cleaning. I was very happy with the work that was done and my workers were too.They were able to notice the difference. I have to admit i was a little sceptical about quality service at the price we were quoted. But you guys arrived on time, was very professional!"

★★★★★ - "They are just amazing. Nothing short of amazing. Trust me all the reviews are on point! Believe. I have seen soo many good reviews from them i had no choice but to try them. Go Green company came out to clean my Air Conditioning system at my home. I moved into a house built in 2003 last year, and spent a lot of time researching air filters because I realize air pollution inside the house is many times higher than outside, and my health and the health of children and youngsters can be so adversely impacted by inhaling these indoor pollutants. They did a wonderful job! I will not need another cleaning for 5-many years. Very honest, clean and professional workers. They didn't scam me with fake replacement speeches. I can breathe easier because they do real extensive work (not just vacuuming). I'm Super happy will definitely refer them!"

★★★★★ - "The folks at Go Green Restoration are top notch across the board. I tell you, you have to try them and experience it for yourself. Excellent and trouble free experience and great customer service. I even had a third party inspect the work after they were done, and they declared it of excellent quality. It's a pity I cant remember the name of the guy who came to our house. He came and did our assessment and described the scope of work. He was very professional, thorough, and friendly and on time. Go Green Restoration that is amazing. I knew before he left that we would be choosing them to do the work, that is how impressed I was. He found problems in our crawl space that the other company did not. Go Green Restoration your staff is really knowledgeable. The crew who arrived to do the work showed up on time, and worked professionally and efficiently. We had no issues at all with they way they worked. I visited with them for a few minutes, and all three of them were great. When they were done, they discussed with me what they did and cleaned up the work area in my back yard so thoroughly that I didn't know they were there. I really appreciated that. I was able to multitask and go get some errands done while they working on my home. How cool is that. Go Green Restoration you are just a life saver. The guy followed up with me a few weeks later to check on how we felt about the project and work completed. We were very impressed with everyone at Go Green Restoration. I cant stress this enough. I really just appreciate the entire service. We had three companies to choose from to clean our crawl space. Without a doubt, we chose the right company. This isn't a glamorous job, but the folks at Go Green Restoration did a fantastic job and handled it all extremely professionally. If you are looking for a company to clean your crawl space let me save you some time. You want to search for Go Green Restoration. Just go read the reviews. You go read them and you will see for yourself. The company is just on another level if you ask me. They use green products too so you know your home is in good hands. Well thats my two cents on Go Green Restoration . I am just a happy, satisfied customer."

We live in Briarcliff Manor and these guys traveled all the way from Stamford which is impressive because they did not charge any travel fees.

We told the technician about our allergy issues and they put a camera in our ducts to show us all the gross stuff dust and all kinds of stuff some they said may be mold, but I didn't bother testing I just had them clean and sanitize. I paid a bit more than I thought, but everything is clean so I'm satisfied. Thanks :)"

Tech-Savvy Seniors: Half of U.S. Adults Over 65 Are Online
For the first time ever, more than half of U.S. adults over the age of 65 are online, from surfing the web to checking email, a new study suggests.
A report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 53% of seniors use the Internet. Although this demographic is still less likely to go online than younger age groups, it shows that this segment of the population is flocking to the web more than ever before.
In total, about 82% of all online Americans over age 18 access the Internet each day, while some 70% of seniors say they go online every day, as well.
But Internet usage tends to drop off after age 75, the report said. Only 34% of adults over 75 access the Internet and only 21% have broadband capabilities at home.
Other forms of technology are also popular among seniors. About 70% own a cell phone, which is up from 57% two years ago.
In addition, more seniors are accessing social networking sites. In fact, about 34% of Internet users age 65 and older use sites such as Facebook and Twitter — and 18% of this group do so each day.
This is a high number, especially considering 66% of all adult Internet users access social networking sites. However, the highest demographic using these sites is young adults ages 18 to 29.
Have you noticed an increase in older adults using the web and social networking sites? Let us know in the comments.

Burned Raymore baby fights for life
Deyvion Griffin burned in apartment fire
A 4-month-old boy is fighting for life after being badly burned in a fire more than a week ago.
Deyvion Griffin was in a Raymore apartment with his babysitter when his bassinet caught fire. His baby sitter got him out of the apartment, and suffered severe burns herself.
Griffin is being treated at a Shriner's hospital in Cincinnati. On Thursday, he was removed from a ventilator for the first time since the fire.
"Me and his father, we just go in there and talk to him. (We) tell him that we love him and that he's going to get through it," said Deyvion's mother, Kayly Jones.
She said removing her son's ventilator is a big step.
"He just couldn't breathe, you know, completely and correctly on his own," Jones said. "It was taking everything he had to be able to breathe."
Investigators said a lamp or a candle may have started the fire. Jones's aunt Chrissy Klein said the family lost everything.
"I worry about them having something to come back to," she said.
The family has set up a fund and is asking for donations on the baby's behalf. Financial donations will be accepted at Commerce Bank in Belton, Mo., in Deyvion Griffin's name. Other donations can be dropped off at Bethlehem Lutheran Church on Highway 58 and Johnston Parkway in Belton.

Attribution Theory and Personality Traits among EFL Learners
This study was designed to determine whether there is any association between learners' personality traits and their set of attributions in learning English as a foreign language. For this aim, 216 lower intermediate English language learners, 111 of whom were male and 105 female, studying in Shokouh English language institutes took part in the study. They were asked to complete NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and Attribution questionnaire (ATFLL). The results of the correlational study indicated a significant relationship between some of personality traits and sub-scales of attribution theory. The results of Regression Analyses also demonstrated that some of personality factors are good predictors of the factors learners attribute their successes or failures to.
