Governor Pat Quinn's chief of staff resigned his post Sunday evening over an ethics flap concerning three "politically oriented" emails that were sent from his state-issued account.
Jerry Stermer, 67, Quinn's chief of staff since February 2009, allegedly used his government email to correspond with various parties on behalf of Quinn's reelection bid, which is a no-no, the Sun-Times reports.
Stermer realized at least one of the lapses on his own and on January 12 submitted a complaint against himself to the State Inspector General, who ultimately recommended Attorney General Lisa Madigan file a complaint against him with the state Executive Ethics Commission.
On the day Quinn heard about the findings, August 13, he fired Executive Inspector General James A. Wright. The governor said Wright's removal was unrelated to the report, and that his tenure -- which began under Rod Blagojevich in 2005 -- was up. On Sunday, Quinn's office reaffirmed that the decision to fire Wright had nothing to do with the report.
Wright isn't so sure. He said he is still unclear about the motives behind his ouster and tasked the press with finding out the truth.
Stermer said he resigned mainly because he didn't want his ethics snafu to overshadow the upcoming election.
His infractions read thusly:
The Governor's office hasn't indicated a replacement for Stermer.
Opponent Bill Brady's campaign responded to the news with outrage.
"This is yet another stunning report involving the administration of Governor Pat Quinn," said Jerry Clarke, Brady for Illinois Campaign Manager. "Today's revelation suggests that on the very day Pat Quinn was confronted with evidence by the Inspector General of an ethics violation, Pat Quinn put his political interests before citizens yet again and fired the Inspector General himself. This disturbing report leads to a myriad of questions that the citizens of Illinois deserve to have answered."

Blippar makes a British stand in Las Vegas
Summary: The London-based augmented reality start-up, which won a UKT&I competition for space on the CES 2012 show floor, lays out its apps and its ambition to be as recognisable as Twitter
2 of 4Image
Film trailer AR
Start-up Blippar has begun demonstrating its augmented-reality apps to the crowds at CES 2012, after winning an UK Trade and Investment (UKT&I) competition to discover the best in British innovation.
The London-based company, which launched in August, received sponsorship from the agency to go to Las Vegas, including a paid-for booth on the show floor. It is showcasing its free app for iOS and Android — also called Blippar — that uses a mobile device's camera, GPS and image-recognition technology to provide augmented reality for advertising.
On the user's end, this is done by simply opening Blippar and placing the camera over the 'call to action' on the product, flyer, magazine or newspaper. The call to action (or 'blip', as the company calls it) then triggers the app to deliver an augmented-reality layer, which tells the user more about the product. In the example above, the film poster blip starts playing a movie trailer on the iPad.
Blippar is working on pushing forward its technology, but this does not include a software development kit (SDK), Blippar's business development manager Dave Black told ZDNet UK on Wednesday.
"We don't want SDKs, because we don't want people developing bad experiences for brands," he said. "We don't want brands to be able to hijack other people's creatives. There are other companies here with open SDKs. Essentially, if you are Adidas you can go to a Nike poster and put your advert on that poster."

Stored blips
In contrast with some augmented-reality technology, the Blippar app doesn't need an active Wi-Fi or data connection to show multimedia related to the scanned blips. It works by storing all the information within the app, which updates whenever it is in range of a connection.
The app also stores all of the user's blips for later viewing (shown above), displaying them down the side of the device screen.

Watch augmented reality
With some ads, the app allows the user to capture the image for use with real-world objects.
In the picture above, Black has scanned a flyer for a watch and then overlaid that image against his wrist. This is meant to help people see what the watch would look like before deciding to buy it.
The challenge to Blippar's growth comes from having to educate businesses about the potential of augmented reality, Black said, rather than coming from the need to develop new technology.

After waiting 11 years for justice, a Lubbock family says they can now begin to heal after the man accused of their daughter's murder was executed Tuesday evening. Shortly before 7p.m. 48-year-old Cleve Foster was taken to the death chamber in Huntsville, TX and executed after the Supreme Court refused to stop his execution for a fourth time.
Terry and Pam Urnosky once again left Lubbock and traveled to Huntsville to face Foster who is accused of murdering their 22-year-old daughter Rachel back in 2001. The Texas Tech graduate was found shot to death inside her Fort Worth home.
"I think the worst pain any parent can feel is the death of a child. Unfortunately we've had to relive that death for the last 11 years," Terry said. "It's just been agony."
Rachel never got her day in court. Foster had been convicted and sentenced to death for murdering 30-year-old Mary Pal just two months after Rachel's body was found in her home.
Since the 2004 conviction Terry and Pam have been waiting for justice. Not being able to escape the nightmare of losing their daughter, it became worse as Foster continued to escape death. From the beginning Foster claimed he was innocent, and his attorney's appealed constantly.
Three times last year in January, April and September the Supreme Court stopped his execution just hours before he was set to die. "We were trying not to get our hopes up for closure, although that was very hard to do because we believe in justice, and we knew sooner or later it would be served," Terry said about Tuesday's scheduled execution. "The apprehension, the anxiety… it was just unbearable."
As they waited, and the hours crawled by, Terry and Pam received the news that Foster would in fact finally be executed. "You know the words are just escaping me. It's been a very, very emotional time as you can expect," Terry said just hours after watching the execution. "I think it's a tremendous sigh of relief. This nightmare will soon be over."
Terry says he and his family can now move forward and slowly begin to close this horrible chapter in their lives. "Every one of those stays of execution has been like ripping off a scab of a deep wound… never being able to heal. Finally we have some closure, and the wound is now able to heal," Terry said. "Her sisters, our grandchildren, my wife and I are going to take the next step. We have chosen to overcome this evil with good, and that's how we're choosing to live the rest of our lives."

^^^^ THIS DOUCHE BAG (Not you Paris, Sorry but I don't know how to crop you out of the picture)
This piece of shit has been stealing and selling art from many artists on Deviantart as well as other websites(I dont know the names off of the top of my head), he's even taken art work from Marvel and DC artists, claiming the pictures were all his!
FUCKING MARVEL AND DC COMICS. Did he really think he could get away with this?
Apparently this guy is/was pretty famous, known as a "New York Multimedia Pop Artist" (COUGH COUGH HACK). As I understand it his site Art4Love.com has been up since 2002 (It has now been taken down), related to Markyourspot.com (I think it was taken down too), was used to sell "his" works, when really he was just stealing from other people and jacking up the price. Many artists were NOT aware that their work was being used and did NOT give Lieberman permission to use their works. Alexiuss(username) is just one of many Deviantart artists who had their work stolen.
More detail on his case here: http://www.deviantart.com/#/d4737e3
If you click on the link above you'll see that Alexiuss has screen shots of the site posting his art work, and his original art work.
You'll also notice that most of the art on Art4love is sold at a price near $300. Yes. That's right, $300. It could be worth, let's say $50 from the original artist, but nope, he's got to jack up the price. You know why? BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO PAY $800 A MONTH TO HAVE HIS BALLS INSURED. Great to known that not only has someone been stealing art, but that their using it for a good cause too.
(for those interested here's an article on his insured sacks:
What a looker, right?(facebook picture;most of his website has been taken down and his personal social networking sites are on private)
He was also interviewed for a site a while back for Treez:
(Treez does not wish to be associated with Lieberman, they were just doing an interview)
The article contains pictures of him at his home, standing by what probably is stolen artwork:
It also contains these quotes:"I've been told that my style is very Andy Warhol…very Jackson Pollock. I take that as a big compliment even though I never studied them."
"I am just driven. No psychological pain drives me. I like to be creative."
"Even though I've been known to be an eccentric assh*le, I am a humble artist."
"I just get frustrated with stupidity and ignorance. I have learned that men are NOT all created equal, as much as it pains me to say."
Now I find this truly disgusting. I've read from a few sources that he has published books, which are apparently plagiarized as well.
Let's spread the word, this guy has to pay.
Thank you for reading and please reblog! Here are some more links if anyone else is interested:
(All of the links I posted are the sites I used to gather information)
And how about one more quote (cutrosy of Treez) from the lovely Mr.Lieberman?
"Life is good…I have 805 credit. No 'baby-mama drama'. Nobody wants to kill me, and I don't owe anyone money."
Hmmm. We'll just see about that. Good thing he's got his balls insured.

SPOKANE -- The deadline for democrats and republicans to reach a budget agreement before the government closes its doors is just hours away. If a shutdown happens, it is expected to affect veterans. The V.A. already has a major backlog of claims. Many fear that backlog would grow even more.
The big question is how much of an impact a government shutdown would have on veterans and the benefits they receive. More than 400,000 veterans saw their disability benefits and pension claims delayed when the government shut down in 1995. Many are fearful that will happen again if an agreement can not be made in Washington, D.C.
"It's scary for me thinking of young people who live paycheck to paycheck. What are they going to do and what will happen with their house payment?" wondered Becky Penman who is the daughter of a veteran.
Because the V.A. has advanced appropriations, health services are not expected to be affected by a shutdown. Any benefits that veterans are receiving could be delayed including disability benefits.
When a veteran makes a claim for a benefit, it takes about 190 days on average for that veteran to get a response back. If the government shuts down, that 190 day time frame will likely grow. That would leave veterans from across the country waiting for their claims to go through.
Experts said the magnitude of impact on veteran's benefits a government shutdown would have all depends on how long the government is not in business. The longer its doors are shut the longer veterans may have to wait to have a benefit claim go through.

ok so happy me is finally happy
- happy with my body finally man
- got my first tattoo
- finally able to be friends w/ you again
- meltdown and the weeknd concert were great
- florence + the machine, frank ocean, warped tour, mayhem fest, etc soon
- hopefully getting away for the weekend with you
- i need to be at the beach asap
- can't wait to be in NY
- electric zoo w/ Cristian yay
- i'm off the next two days and sunday
- but still managed to get 40 hours for the week
- finally started saving up money
- got my own bank account
- thats all for now i think
- yep ok
this is my problem,
i'm really distant and unattached. i'll short text and take hours to reply. i'll give you miles of space so you don't feel overwhelmed or like i'm being clingy. but once you start doing it to me, i begin to panic. i overthink and question every thing i've said and done. i start to replay conversations and situations in my head, wondering what i could've, should've, would've done differently. maybe i'm just missing you a lot, maybe i'm overthinking like always and letting my insecurities get the best of me. but i want you around all the time. i want to talk to you all the time. i want your full undivided attention for myself. i want to kiss you and hold your hand. i want you.
I keep telling myself I want my dad back around. but just for superficial reasons, and I know that may sound selfish but it's all I knew from him. because any love I received from him was bought, it was all materialistic. idk I'm really torn on how I feel and wether or not I actually ever forgave you. but you'd have to be sorry for that too. idk idk idk mom just threw out the rest of your stuff, and it's finally setting in that you're not coming back. ever. and I don't know how to feel about it.
I feel like everything I do is wrong.
I don't like you knowing anything I didn't chose to tell you.
To be honest if the world wasn't so obsessed with defining beauty as thin and symmetrical maybe I wouldn't have such low self-esteem and wouldn't feel as if I needed to lose weight in order to look at myself without frowning and feeling miserable.
Or maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I'm centering my resentment for myself on a world that has a size I cannot fit into.
Maybe I shouldn't care.
Or maybe I've just grown a skewed image of myself over the years.
I want it to change.
my life in a paragraph.
happy happy ok

Broken City Can't be Fixed
- Friday, January 18, 2013
The plot line involving Billy's relationship with his girlfriend, Natalie (Natalie Martinez) had promise, but she inexplicably dropped out of sight halfway through the movie. Yes, they had a fight (not really a spoiler since what couple doesn't?) but the situation is never resolved, and after one bad night Mr. Tough Guy Taggart grimly goes about his task apparently unaffected by the crisis with the woman he supposedly loved. Why bother wasting all that screen time on Natalie if she wasn't going to contribute to character development?
On the whole, the story is a solid political crime drama, one of those twisty-turny plots that zips along fast enough to keep your attention from wandering. The writing is occasionally brilliant—I especially liked the police commissioner's final comment to the mayor, a quiet zinger that had the audience whooping with laughter. And yet, the sum of its parts is more OK than extraordinary. While it was enjoyable enough, the whole thing had a bit of a 'been there, done that' feel. It's…fine. Not great. Not awful. Just fine.
- Drugs/Alcohol: Someone is drinking in almost every scene, generally Scotch. One character has been sober for seven years, but falls off the wagon (hard) and the ensuing scene chronicles his descent into drunkenness quite nicely.
- Language/Profanity: Language is a big reason this film was rated R; a charitable person would call the dialogue "colorful." Almost every conversation included the f-word. God's name was taken in vain in various combinations, bi***, sh** (occasionally described as "holy"), a**hole, references to male and female anatomy (di**, pu**y). In addition, one character manages to insult pretty much every major group: women, Jews, Catholics, homosexuals, metrosexuals, possibly a few more.
- Violence: Quite a bit, but remarkably little blood. Shootings, murders, multiple violent fist fights, car chases and crashes, breaking and entering, man's head shoved underwater, and a particularly vicious blow to the head that may have been fatal.
- Sex/Nudity: Billy is a private investigator working divorce cases, so we see him photograph a couple having sex; kissing and caressing are shown. Discussion of a brutal rape and murder (thankfully not depicted). The characters go to a movie which contains a pretty explicit sex scene that includes female nudity. One character uses the term "borderline orgasmic" (but not about sex). There is talk of an extramarital affair. Man gets in bathtub, but nothing untoward is shown. Several major characters are homosexual; one obviously effeminate. References to "taking the metrosexual thing too far" and a romantic relationship between two men.
- Spiritual Themes: The underlying theme is what happens when people take justice into their own hands, even when they feel right is on their side. Power corrupts and in this case, it corrupts absolutely. Guilt, revenge, and confession are all part of the plot. In the end, the question is whether Billy will do the right thing, no matter the cost to himself. (The answer to that question would be a spoiler, so you won't find it here.)

Sally Bowls said...
I don't understand a couple of the points.
1) Congratulations on all the frozen orbs! There were going for 3 or 4g before Cata and TUJ currently shows the US Alliance price for FO as 23g 49s 22c. But that means the frozen orb with the three other gems seems to be worth the same/more than two or three rare gems at the moment. Is it really worth it to prospect the saronite to get the common gems to make the prism rather than just selling the frozen orbs?
2) For reasons I don't understand, Dragon's Eye's are great. A DE can sell for more than a *stack* of the rare yellow amberjewels. Why do you care if they are "usable for much" as long as they sell?

Earlier, we showed you how to add quick-launch shortcuts to the iOS Lock screen. Now, an app called AppSlider adds similar capabilities allowing you to customize the iPhone lock screen and making it much more useful than it is "by default". With AppSlider cydia tweak, you can add two different application shortcuts to lock screen slider of your iPhone that suits your preferences. These shortcuts will help you make life a little easier on the iPhone.
By cutting-down the slider's width, AppSlider allows you to add two different custom application icons (one in left and other in place of default camera icon). For example, you can configure Cydia app on the left side of slider, and as soon as you click the cydia icon, application is launched. Similarly, if you need a quick way to call, text or e-mail someone, you must install AppSlider jailbreak Tweak on your device.
AppSlider can only be installed on jailbroken devices and once installed you can add two application shortcuts to either side of the slide to unlock bar via the Settings.app. I really like the idea of being able to add two important applications that I want to do on my iPhone and AppSlider does this very well. It is clean looking, very well done and definitely has some potential.
AppSlider tweak costs $0 and can be downloaded from Cydia store under BigBoss repository. Once you've installed on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you'll be able to quickly phone home, send a message to your friend, or open a favorite app by adding the shortcut you want. It is worth checking out for few days to see if it works for you.

"Ondine" is the enchanting story of Syracuse (Farrell), a lonely fisherman who one day pulls a beautiful woman named Ondine (Bachleda) out of the sea in his nets. His young daughter Annie is convinced that she is a "selkie" —a creature from Irish folklore much like a mermaid. Syracuse has his doubts, but as Ondine brings some luck and joy to his otherwise downcast life, he starts to come around as well. "Ondine" deftly blends romance and fantasy with the realism of modern life in an Irish seaside town.

2010 Guide Analysis: "Acclaimed Irish helmer Neil Jordan returns to the fantasy genre with this straight-up fairytale that scored solid reviews on its debut in Toronto this year. The lush visuals shot mostly off the Irish coast combined with understated performances and a breezy albeit unhurried tone will make this too lightweight of an effort for some fans hoping for another great Jordan effort like "The Crying Game" or "Interview with the Vampire".
Yet it may find more commercial success outside of Ireland than many of its ilk thanks to its family-friendly tone. Certainly it looks to have a lot more heart and charm than M. Night Shyamalan's similar if woefully inadequate water nymph story "Lady in the Water". Plus Sigur Rós' keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson provides the score which makes this one where the sensory aesthetics alone are enough to recommend it."

Context & Caveats
Before I attempt to share what is going into my ears as I type need to supply some context. Earlier in the week I received some interesting news. I'm a cancer "survivor". I put survivor in quotes because I have a chronic condition we've successfully fought back three times with chemo.
Cancer teachers many valuable lessons that I hope YOU never learn. One of those lessons is MUSIC is therapy. When you are sitting in the most contemplative chair in the world, the chemo chair, MUSIC is what gets you through. Music is HOPE, LOVE and LIFE.
Earlier in the week I was sitting in the waiting room at UNC Lineberger listening to Bob Marley, tweeting and working. Doing things I LOVE waiting to hear if the knot in my neck was no big thing.
A Great Day Gets Better
When you have the Big C there is no such thing as "no big thing". Colds are "big things", fatigue is a big thing. Life is a big thing. Met with wizard of an oncologist Dr. Hank van Deventer (Hammering Hank) and learned there is about a 10% chance I am VERY sick again.
Hearing that news I had two feelings simultaneously:
- Been Here Before.
- Play it as it lays.
Here is a challenge. When someone tells you there is a 10% chance you won't be here much longer FOCUS on the 90% not the ten. Hard right? Focusing on the 90% got easier as the week went on.
We are CLOSE to "soft launching" our "community in a box" Internet marketing tool currently called Curagaami (follow that link if you want to help us crowdsouce a new name).
My week got BETTER each day and Friday was AMAZING. We had a great meeting with our first customer, friends at Moon-Audio.com, and THEY PAID US! Too cool because our friends Drew and Nichole Baird, the husband and wife team who created Moon Audio, are great people.
Nichole and Drew are people who if you are lucky enough to work with them (or others like them) make YOU better.
They actually "paid" Phil and me in more ways than one. They will help us refine Curagami into a powerful content marketing and social media tool. They are letting me play in ecommerce again (THANK YOU), AND Drew changed cables on my Shure earbuds and OMG.
This sound is like a DRUG (lol), like one of the GOOD drugs that make you feel BETTER not worse.
Drew's Dragon SLAYS Bob Marley
I'm sitting in my favorite place to have Saturday lunch, Saladelia where we often conduct Free web marketing consulting Saturdays, and Bob Marley is inside my HEAD…and it is a good thing (lol). Let's see if I can describe what is happening in my ears right now thanks to Drew's Silver Dragon Headphone Cables:
The music is suddenly smooth, warm and close. What was almost too SHARP before has mellowed out to a tone that sounds like a cool breeze on a hot summer day. Unexpected, calming and beautiful Marley's music feels personal and happening NOW.
Marley NEVER sounds bad, but before Drew upgraded my Shure's they played LOUD music best. Loudness seemed to run right by the limitations that were immediately present and distracting during quiet passages.
Thinking back now I realized I was changing my listening patterns. I haven't been listening to Miles or Keith Jarrett much lately, music I love, because the range of the music is greater, more quiet reflective pauses between the notes, than my favorite rock bands (Zeppelin, stones, who, Steely Dan). My Macbook Air + Spotify + Shure 425s + Drew's Silver Dragons has me wanting to fire up some MILES or Gary Burton.
Money Doesn't Matter
Here's another Big C lesson – MONEY doesn't matter. I spent much of my life worrying about money. Let's model it. If you are SMART, work hard and are willing to learn will you EVER not be able to make "good money" in America?
Maybe, but when that day comes we will have a new job – Occupy Wall Street.
The other thing I made a point of doing is SAVING. Well let me amend that. I started saving in my 30s when I realized money earned from money was cool and required a lot less SWEAT. Please don't read this next rif like you shouldn't save, but I saved money I may well be unable to ever spend.
That is my life in a nutshell (lol).
Ever feel like you do the right thing and still it goes wrong? Perhaps the most important lesson cancer teaches is KEEP TURNING THE CRANK. When we set out to ride a bicycle 3,300 miles from the Duke Cancer Institute to the Santa Monica Pier in the summer of 2010 the concept of KEEP TURNING THE CRANK became clear.
What we THINK matters DOESN'T. What we THINK doesn't matter DOES.
The crank is the part of your bicycle that turns the wheel, the part that makes you go forward. There were DAYS when I just wanted to sit down and say F**K It. I'm OUT (lol). My team did what great teams do – they convinced me to KEEP TURNING THE CRANK.
Don't make the wrong decisions for the wrong reasons about money. Save, but every now and again realize LIFE IS SHORT and you need to spend some cash to make life BETTER (or have amazing friends like Drew and Nichole or both).
You might think, "That's a lot of money" when looking at a life transforming product like Drew's Dragon. Let me provide some context. After six months of chemo I got a bill for $250,000. Most of that money went to drugs. I realize drug companies are some of the most profitable on earth, but they along with my docs, nurses and friends SAVED MY LIFE so THANK YOU.
The reluctant insurance company who paid my bills also saved my life, but they were MUCH LESS graceful about it. If you are a Republican, as my father is, yelling about ObamaCare I hope you NEVER get cancer. The minute someone says "cancer" and your name in the same sentence getting insurance without President Obama's brave help would be impossible.
Here is another mental exercise and the last one I promise.
If you have to choose LIFE or SAVINGS what do you choose? My answer so far has been SAVINGS. I'm out of pocket more than $100K at this point, money that could have gone into my 501c3 nonprofit foundation to fight cancer, but no complaints since NOT spending the money produces a lousy result.
At least a lousy result NOW. At the point when the Big C is winning and my life isn't my life anymore it will be time to say, "Thanks, but no thanks," to those working so hard to save and support MY life. If you are one of those special FOMs (friends of Martins') known or unknown I will try to repay your investment in me with LOVE, ethics and giving.
I won't live up to that last sentence as much or as easily as it is to write, but you now know my FULL intentions. There is NOTHING other than REPAYMENT and SERVICE now and saying that makes me sound like a charlatan. Not so much. I am NOT one of those tell you one thing do another people.
Never have been. I don't have that much ART or intelligence or whatever it takes to master the dodge. My nickname at Choate was Marty "Tank" Smith. I think they hung that on me for more than how I play football.
If TANK Smith has rolled over you in the past FORGIVE ME. Never my intention. I get excited and LOVE what I do for a living and so TALK when I should be listening. Working on it.
Oh, and if you LOVE music then your Bob Marley needs to meet Drew's Dragon.
Peace, Love and CURE CANCER,

Springside's Lownes captures golf crown
Shooting a five-over 42 on the par-37 front nine at Gulph Mills Golf Club, Springside School's Amanda Lownes won the Girls Inter-Ac League Individual Championships on Monday, May 11. A senior headed for Penn State University, the lanky Lownes has turned in scores in the low to mid 40s throughout the season, and this consistency led to a steady performance at last week's event, where some other of the league's top golfers brought home inflated scores.
"I just kept to my game and played how I normally play," the Lions' leader said modestly.
After a birdie on the par-five third hole, Lownes gave back the boon with a double-bogie on the fourth, a par-three. After that she leveled out, with a few single bogies mixed in with pars allowing her to finish three strokes ahead of the runner-up, Academy of Notre Dame junior Amanda Davis. The only other scores in the 40s were a 48 by Notre Dame freshman Alex Stensland, and a 49 by Agnes Irwin junior Cassaundra Fincke.
Each league member sent its top three golfers to the event; the other players from Springside were sophomore Amanda Culp, who finished with a 50, and senior Sarah MacEachern, who scored a 53. Fast friends, MacEachern and Lownes were the team co-captains this spring for the Lions, who were guided by first-year head coach Jamie Bell and his assistant, Kerri Rutan.
As in most Inter-Ac sports, the official team championship was accorded to the team which earned the best record in regular-season matches. The title went to Notre Dame, whose only loss came in one of two encounters with Springside. The Lions, who also split two meetings with Episcopal Academy, were league runners-up with a record of 6-2, and EA was third at 5-3, followed by Agnes Irwin and Baldwin. The other two league members, Germantown Academy and Penn Charter, do not offer golf teams for girls.
Despite weeks of on-and-off rain, the Gulph Mills course was relatively dry for the individual championships. Junior Lauren Bernard, usually one of Notre Dame's top players, uncharacteristically fired a 56. Another one of the premiere teams, Episcopal, received 50s from senior Emily Forgash and sophomore Amanda Terzian, and a 54 from junior Libby Eyre.
After her round, Springside's Lownes noted, "The rough was very thick and the greens had just been aerated, so they were a little bumpy, but it played pretty well."

Save the Date for Chicago's Double Whammy of Airport Runway Runs
It's that time of the year again, when airports welcome people, in place of planes, to run on their runways while the weather is sunny and the skies are blue. While other airports are still ironing out the particulars, Chicago's double whammy of runway runs is already asking you to "save the date."
It's only the second year for a run at Chicago's second airport, Midway. The Midway Fly Away 5K will be sponsored by Southwest and will benefit Chicago Childrens Charities and the Special Olympics. The run on what MDW calls "the world's busiest square mile" will happen September 21, and other runways will most definitely still be active.
Across the city, Chicago's own United Airlines will once again host the O'Hare Run on the Runway, with proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project. You've got more time to train for this race, as the 5K doesn't hit the calendar until October 5. Fingers crossed United rolls an aircraft out to the finish line for photo ops, as they've done in past years. Expect over 3,500 fellow runners of all ages and abilities (and walkers are welcome), so be ready when registration opens soonish.

Southwest Airlines Gets with the Picture to Debut New Electronic Gate Displays
The average traveler is only going to glance at signage around a boarding gate a few times before heading out onto a flight. These signs flash information about connections, upgrades, reminders about rules and regulations, and where you might be on the standby list. Most airlines have had digital flatscreens for years and years, but that hasn't been the case for Southwest Airlines.
Things are finally changing, and it's all positive for departing passengers. Up first for installations and improvements is Chicago-Midway, as the new gate displays have already started to arrive at the airport.

Chicago's Best Cup of Coffee is Now at the Airport
Chicago, you're the best.
While many airports focus on installing new wine bars or sticking as many iPads as possible in the faces of passengers trying to grab a bite, Chicago's O'Hare and Midway Airports are refining the basic offering of an airport coffee by opening serious coffeeshops backed by local roasters.
Kiss that calorie-heavy, caffeine-light caramel frappuccino with whip cream goodbye, or at least until you arrive at your destination airport. Chicago will see you off (or welcome you) with a proper fresh cup, made with beans sourced from exotic destinations and then roasted and ground right in town.
First up is O'Hare's Terminal 5, which houses Rick Bayless' airport outpost of Tortas Frontera and has just opened Kofe by Intelligentsia, a European-style stand-up coffee shop past security. In addition to Intelligentsia's regular roasts, Kofe will also feature a monthly special. Right now, according to The Moodie Report, it's a Yirgacheffe coffee "with notes of jasmine and lemongrass from southern Ethiopia." Yes, there will be souvenir mugs and coffee beans for purchase (and Black Cat espresso!).

A New Ban at Chicago's Airports Means Saying Sayonara to Styrofoam
Earth Day is in the rearview mirror at this point, but that doesn't mean we can't think green throughout the rest of the year. That's clearly the idea over in Chicago, as both major airports are all about the eco-friendly.
Officials have issued some new rules and guidelines for those restaurants doing business at both O'Hare and Midway airports, as they hope to reduce, reuse, and recycle. The new green concessions policy provides a little bit of encouragement in hopes that the restaurants will do a better job utilizing eco materials and sustainable ingredients.

Good Airport Coffee is One Thing, but Excellent Airport Coffee is a Chicago Thing
Hm. So airports actually read comment cards.
One year ago, we published a tiny rant on airport coffee and the severe lack of quality coffeeshops within terminals, despite the recent trend toward adding gourmet, organic burger joints and wine bars and Top Chef-backed sit-down eateries. Where were the pour-over coffee bars and anything-other-than-Starbucks, we asked.
Chicago's two airports have answered.

The WiFi at Chicago's Airports Still Isn't Free, But It's Getting Cheaper
Ugh—we love us some free airport WiFi, but unfortunately there's still plenty of places where we're asked for our credit card digits in exchange for some access. One of these locations is Chicago, as the airports of the Windy City, both O'Hare and Midway, aren't yet down with the complimentary WiFi scene. Thankfully things are getting a little bit better—at least for a bit—but it's still not going to be free of charge.
Google is coming to the rescue, throwing down some cash—probably in exchange for some advertising—to bring cheaper WiFi access to data hungry travelers and passengers. The price is being cut in half for a 24-hour period, with the rates dropping from around $6.95 to just $3.48. The discount will be available to users after watching a 30-second commercial, so just be prepared for a little distraction before getting down to business.

Always a Welcome Sight: Airport Bike Parking
Long ago, we declared Portland International Airport to be the most bike-friendly airport in all the US. Well, since then, we've gotten around a bit more and would also lay some laurels on both Nantucket Regional and, now, Chicago-Midway International.
One of the really brilliant things about Chicago's two airportsboth O'Hare and Midwayare their easy accessibility by public transportation. We're talking $2.25 on the El Blue Line (to O'Hare) or $2.25 on the El Orange Line (to Midway), total. Last week, while on said Orange Line to MDW, we disembarked at the airport and ran smackdab into the welcome sight of this large bicycle rack.
It's free to park and within the El gates, so it's far safer than your average rack. Bring your own lock, hook up your bike here and take off for a long weekend's vacation (most likely on Southwest Air). Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

The EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2012 Air Show, in Instagram
Admit it. You'll ogle aircraft at any available opportunity. We understand. There is help out there for you...in the form of yet more airplane porn from our day at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2012.
In addition to the slew of pro photos and slick video, we of course shot from the hip with an iPhone 4S, uploading to Instagram all the live-long day.
Understanding that not everyone has Instagram (get it & get it now!) and it can be trying to keep up with all images in a constantly flowing stream of visual candy, we've included most (but not all!) of our Oshkosh Instagrams from this past weekend. Check 'em out:

Jaunted at Oshkosh: Inside One Crazy Day at 'Aviation's Greatest Celebration'
Oshkosh, Wisconsin's Wittman Regional Airport has no regularly scheduled flights. And yet it manages to rack up over 90,000 landings every year. It has no impressive passenger terminal. And yet it counts visitors in the millions. What OSH does have, you see, is EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, a massive aviation celebration that swamps the tiny town for one week every summer.
At 8am this past Saturday we landed right in the thick of things, arriving on one of Southwest Airlines' newest, shiniest Boeing 737-700s after a quickie flight up from Chicago-Midway International. Here we could type a slew of fawning adjectives to describe our day (not even a full day!) spent zipping from the expansive cockpits of military transports to reclining in the slim leather seats of private props, but luckily a simple worda word we maybe whispered and shouted a thousand times at OSHsums it up: awesome.

The Man Who caught Katharine Hepburn Sleeping in an Airport
If there's that gets us as excited about modern air travel, it's retro air travel. You know we're nerds for airplanes of any era really, so when we run across vintage in-flight magazines, as we did recently with United's Mainliner, we just have to share. It was in the June 1962 edition that we first heard about a photographer who specialized in getting those glamorous, movie-star-exiting-the-jet images at Chicago's Midway Airport and now, we're hearing about Mr. Mike Rotunno again.
Yesterday, the Chicago Tribune wrote an article on the man, because as it turns out, there's a full-fledged book"When Hollywood Landed at Chicago's Midway Airport: The Photos and Stories of Mike Rotunno" by Chicago author Christopher Lynchcoming out on Rotunno's life as the original airport paparazzo and his mob ties.
Still, his run-in with Al Capone isn't as interesting as one little story about a certain celeb who had airport habits similar to our own: Katharine Hepburn:

Without a Plan in Place, Chicago Breaks Ground on Airport Number Three
Chicago's getting a brand new airport! It's number three to be exact, and they broke ground on it over the weekend. Just hold up a second first, because though the ground's been dug with a celebratory shovel, the plans are still all on paper with plenty of arguments and debates left before planes will be able to do their thing to someplace other than ORD and MDW.
Mostly the concern is that Chicago doesn't really need a brand new airport, and opponents especially feel that all the city needs is updates at Chicago-O'Hare. Even the CEO over at the new United feels that another airport isn't really necessary, but of course that could be simply because he has a pretty decent stake in the operations at O'Hare.

Slot Machines Coming to Chicago's Airports? It's a Safe Bet.
You step off a plane and into the terminal, to the smell of fresh-baked Auntie Anne's pretzels and the bing-bing-bing sounds of slot machines. Where are youLas Vegas, right? If it's a few years from now, that answer could be Chicago-O'Hare instead. The Illinois House of Representatives approved a bill on Monday (yes, they were working on Memorial Day!) to bring casinos to Chicago. The idea is for the casinos to open not just anywhere in Chicago, but in heavily touristed places like the lakefront and both O'Hare and Midway Airports.
Guess who's totally down with the new casinos plan? Chicago's fresh-faced mayor Rahm Emanuel, who supports the development of gambling establishments within Chi-city limits for the all-American goals of job creation and raking in more moolah. How much more moolah will Chicago casinos bring in to the state, exactly? Oh, just a billion dollars a year. Maybe they'll even take some of those zeros and make O'Hare less of a giant suckfest.

His foreign policy has been feckless. And his recent budget proposal was virtually ignored because his domestic agenda is going nowhere in Congress. So with 2014 looking like an increasingly grim year for Democrats seeking re-election, the role of the most powerful leader of the free world has been reduced to that of an insurance...

Jason Wilde's post on Green Bay Packers | Latest updates on Sulia
Ex-#Packers coach Mike Sherman wasn't a successful general manager, but the #Dolphins offensive coordinator tells Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe that he doesn't regret taking the job: "I made some good decisions, I made some bad decisions as far as personnel goes. When they presented it to me, I didn't shy away from the opportunity to do it because it was a challenge. At the time, maybe it was too much on my plate, but I didn't think about it — that's in retrospect."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is by the worse school my child ever attended. We relocated him to another school and come to find out he had not learned anything. education is not their first priority. Because they are so busy make up for the lack of education with WONDERFUL!! field trips. Just check out the test scores on AMIS and other rest scores. Look at the Department of Education website at azed.gov then go under School Report Cards. This school was rated 1 out of 10. this is bad.But don't take my word. Parents educate yourself before putting your child in this school.
This school has continued it's down ward spiral. My child has attended for a couple years, the education has become scarce. They have such a high turn over of teachers and students it might as well have a revolving door. The staff talks down to the students, I have heard on several occasions the staff belittling students and if their parent forgot to do something like bring their lunch or permission slip they will guilt the child over it - saying they need to remind their parents to do their job. They openly insult students. This has become such a poor environment for students. I feel so sorry for the students they talk down to & they have no problem grabbing students by the arm to get their attention. They just really don't care and have no accountability. So sad
Do not let the friendly staff delude you, this school is awful. The atmosphere is unhealthy and the education given is poor. My children disliked this school so much they begged to be removed.
I LOVE this school and so does my son. Every teacher knows every child's name. They approach every child individually. The classes are small and each child is working at his or her own pace. The school is family friendly and has an open door policy. The kids all know eachother because they mix the classes up for reading buddy time and foreign language. School spirit is high because of there daily practice of meeting for morning assembly. The teachers, director and staff are creative, motivating and open minded. At AAPS you child is treated like his/ her own person and not fit into a box. The curriculum is progressive and my son is reading far above grade level because of this.
I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!! My daughter just finished kindergarten and my son will be enrolled this up coming year. I have never meet such wonderful people! Mrs. Stark always updated me about my daughters behavior whether positive or negative which i do love since my daughters a diva and i love she does not say everyday "Oh she was great!" and send her off. Ms. Griffith is also a sweet and wonderful director. My daughter has grown so much and I am so proud to call this school our home untill %th grade ;)
AAPS helped my son LOVE school again. Before we came to Academy Adventure my son attended the public school in our district and there were 38 students in his 4th grade class. After a month in school the teacher would still ask me who's your child again? When it got to a point where he was crying on the way to school everyday I pulled him and put him at AAPS. The staff at AAPS were so AWESOME with him and he loved his new teacher and class. His new class only had 17 students not 38 and it's a wonderful, loving, family enviroment. I just can't say enough wonderful things about this little charter school. Only one bad thing I wish it went past 5th grade . We are going to miss it so much. Theresa Anderson.
This is a horrible school.. after the 20th time i picked my kid up with untied laces and about a million things in her hands with no direction from a teacher besides "your mom is here goodbye!". Very disappointed not only in curriculum but in care taking as well!!!!
As a former employee of Academy Adventures Primary School I have nothing but wonderful things to say. I had such a wonderful staff and principal to work with. Every person at AAPS cares about all of the students and their well-being. The families at AAPS are wonderful and are always willing to help. Academy Adventures Primary School is the best school I have ever had the pleasure of working at.
Am a parent and a very mad one at that. I really don't like the administrator since she treats everybody like a child including parents. This school only cares about their attendance since it's how they get paid. My child was sick and the director failed to call me because she cared more about the school's attentance.
This is a terrific school! The teachers are very caring and want all the students to feel welcomed and successful in the classroom. The teachers are able to work in small groups with students to provide more individualized attention. This is a wonderful school that really cares about their students.
The close knit atmosphere between the kids and the staff. You can tell the teachers really care about the students.
The teachers that were there were great with what they had to work with regarding administration. Unfortunately, there are many problems with the administration. Top of the list as they don't believe in the children as they claim. They expect little and thus require little.
As a member of the Academy Adventures family/community I believe that this school has the best interest of every student at heart. AAPS strives to make every student feel welcome and challenges them to be the best they can be, recognizing the differences of each student. I'm thrilled to be part of this dynamic community and look forward to their continued success.
Academy Adventures has set a great academic foundation for my child. The whole staff is very caring and involved with every child. I feel my daughter would not be so advanced if it weren't for this awesome school. She surprises me every day with her reading abilities and writing skills. And she's only 7! I recommend this school to any parent who only wants the best education and daily environment for their child(ren).

Brett Favre Fined $50K, Not Suspended For Jenn Sterger Sexting Scandalby Free Britney at . Comments
NFL star Brett Favre will be fined $50,000 for allegedly sending former New York Jets employee Jenn Sterger explicit text messages and photos.
Favre was NOT suspended for his actions, but the fine basically implies that an NFL investigation verified the rumors going around for months.
Basically, Jenn saw pics of Brett Favre's small junk. Amazing.
SHE'S SO FINE: Worth a $50,000 one? Debatable.
Jenn Sterger, who has posed for Playboy and Maxim, worked as a sideline personality for the Jets in 2008, Favre's one season with the team.
In addition to firing off photos of his wang, Brett allegedly asked Jenn for a video of her masturbating. Dude is very forward, give him that.
Favre admitted leaving her voicemails, but denies sending her explicit pics. The fine was issued because the star was "deemed uncooperative."
We would deem him a host of other things, too.
A suspension wouldn't have mattered that much anyway, as the beleaguered shot-caller was unlikely to play the Sunday because of injuries.
You can listen to Favre's voicemails, which are only slightly less absurd than these remarks by Tucker Carlson about Michael Vick, right here:
they could not determine his guilt in the investigation
only 3 people know the truth him her and God
he was fined for not cooperating during the investigation
get your facts straight people
real wishes dot com where wishes become reality
Farve is so over-rated its unbelievable! I dont understand why he has any fans or support he should have retiered from green bay and left it at that but she was asking for it .. Come on what sweaty naked guy doesnt think so? And 50 grand thats it? Wtf ... Who is in control here?
Goodal???? Probably the same low standards imbecile as Goodell....
Disgusting. The fine means nothing, representing less than 5% of a single games wages. Goodal drives another nail in the coffin of the NFL's persona of respect. I, for one, now have less respect for the NFL than I do Professional Wrestling. Sadly everybody in the Orginazation will suffer for the childish actions of Favre, and the gutless actions of Goodal.
U no the rich get by with so much... That's nothing to him 50k....I hope his wife has left him... For Gods sake she best breast cancer .. And this is what she gets in return ..her own husband acting like a teenager?., if someone like us would do something like that.. The fine would be A lot more..he makes me sick.. He should have gotten fired ...

Mechanism Design with Limited Information: The Case of Nonlinear Pricing
AbstractWe analyze the canonical nonlinear pricing model with limited information. A seller offers a menu with a finite number of choices to a continuum of buyers with a continuum of possible valuations. By revealing an underlying connection to quantization theory, we derive the optimal finite menu for the socially efficient and the revenue-maximizing mechanism. In both cases, we provide an estimate of the loss resulting from the usage of a finite n-class menu. We show that the losses converge to zero at a rate proportional to 1/n^2 as n becomes large.

My emotions keep ricocheting from one emotion to the other. It's like I want you know, but then I hate you. Then I want you in my life, but then I wish you would get out of it. Life would have been a lot better, if I had never seen you that day.
Not even the least excited. I just want to sleep. Sleep, sleep, sleep, and to enter in a state of oblivion.
It's a Friday night, and here I am (well was) doing AP homework. Wooo for my life. I mean I'm wasting my time doing homework, when I could really be doing….. nothing, like I do every friday.
whatever, I was going to go to bed late anyways. SO WHO CARES IF I'M IN TUMBLR WHEN I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING MY LAB NOTEBOOK.
I'm honestly super excited for Christmas. Winter season in general, makes me happy just thinking about it.
So sorry for the lack of posting this few days! I live in the tri-state area, and as most of you may know, Hurricane Sandy hit the area a couple of days ago. Many lost their homes, personal belongings, loved ones and so on. Others were "fortunate" to only lose their power. Among those people, were the people in my neighborhood, including myself. Since Monday night, we did not have any power nor heating system, only gas for cooking and hot water. It was until today that the power came back. Anyhow I'll be posting regularly :)
Does anyone know how to block just ONE person from writing on your facebook timeline? I know there's an option to block everyone, but I just want to block one person. Thanks if you help! :)
