Justin Alvey '09
I am currently working as a loan officer with Spartan Mortgage. My experience in anthropology has made me ten times a better salesman because it has taught me how to understand all different types of perspectives and how to effectively analyze situations from a holistic point of view.
Kristin Friesen Akervall '04
My current title is Director of Research for the Austen Group. We do institutional research reporting and analysis for colleges and universities. It is a small company started by a former English professor and we primarily work with independent schools. Part of my job entails doing some reporting for CIC (Council of Independent Colleges) of which Willamette is a member.
Jasmine Azpiri '08
I am currently working as a Patient Services Representative for Dr. John and Dr. Sharp at The Polyclinic in Seattle. I have been taking classes part-time through Seattle Central Community College to complete my prerequisites for nursing school. I will be applying to the University of Washington Graduate Entry Nursing Program (GENP) August 2010.
Laurel Braun Newton '00
I look back on my anthropology days very fondly. I have not pursued any further education, except the professional continuing education required by my previous job in the insurance industry, and a French class here and there. Currently, I am a Sock Minion working at Sock Dreams in Portland.
Laura Brian Whipple '99
I currently work as the Director of Operations at Pinball Publishing, a creative printing and publishing company based in Portland that I co-founded.
Aleta Burchyski '07
After earning a master's degree in journalism from Syracuse University I spent a year working in the magazine industry, interning at Martha Stewart's Body+Soul magazine. I then launched Charlottesville Woman magazine for a daily newspaper in Virginia and am serving as editor in chief for their magazine department. Unfortunately this isn't the best climate for magazines and newspapers, so I recently became the publicist for an early childhood book company. Now I spend my days writing press releases and articles on our books and authors. A big part is analyzing pop culture trends and strategizing how to position the company at the forefront. My four years with the Anthropology Department was time well spent.
Kara Casey '08
I currently work at Lutheran Social Service in Minneapolis, Minnesota as a Refugee Resettlement Case Manager. I apply my cultural anthropology degree all the time in my work: in my cross cultural communication skills, in understanding my own ethnocentrism as I interact with the newly arrived refugees and provide them with guidance, in understanding proper mannerisms and how to be polite in different cultures, in preparing a culturally appropriate meal for the new arrivals, in speaking up and advocating for refugees' rights in the United States, in criticizing local articles written about negative aspects of the refugee community. I am very grateful for my cultural anthropology education, and I love that I can continue to study anthropology through my work.
In September 2009 I will be returning to the Seattle area to be a Community Based Learning Coordinator for the University of Washington hopefully connecting refugee communities and nonprofits that work with the immigrant/refugee population to university students in academia.
Elena Croswaite Borquist Noyes '07
I am an instructor at Hango Agricultural College on the island of 'Eua in the Kingdom of Tonga, South Pacific. My classes are primarily business and farm management-focused, and I do a bit of individual help on the side with English skills. My husband and I joined the Peace Corps last October, and will both be teaching at local schools until December of 2011. I'm constantly remembering my anthropology classes at Willamette, and am seriously considering getting my PhD in Anthropology sometime in the next ten years. Before joining the Peace Corps, I worked as a product marketing intern at Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield in Portland for the summer. Not only did anthropology come in useful in understanding this thing they call corporate culture, but also in helping culturally translate health education materials to many different community groups.
Emily Doerr '06
I graduated from Willamette in 2006 and worked for the Washington State Department of Health for a year on a study funded by the Center for Disease Control to find out information on the effects of diabetes on the heart. In 2007-09, I was in Mali (West Africa) serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Health Education sector. In the Peace Corps I worked closely with a remote health center in a village outside the large city of Kayes (about 90 km east of the Senegal border). My projects focused mostly on nutrition, gardening, and maternal and child health. I now (2010) work for the Cochran Fellowship Program at the USDA in Washington DC. I'm the program training coordinator for the Eastern Europe/Eurasia region. We recruit and interview prospective fellows for our training program. We plan and organize agriculture focused trainings and set up the fellows' travel to the United States. Anthropology has always played a part in my life since Willamette. The way I think and react to situations is based on my understanding of the culture I'm in, whether it's in West Africa or Washington, DC. When asked in my interview for my current job what my greatest accomplishment was I said that it was learning Bambara in Peace Corps (the local language in Mali). The only way I was able to truly connect with and understand the people I was there to help was to be able to speak and understand their language. You leave Peace Corps with a humbling sense of what is possible to accomplish in development and ultimately, the friends you made, the people you spoke to and laughed with were the real value in the experience. The only way I could appreciate that was to look at the situation anthropologically; looking at a culture can never be the same as being a part of it.
Elyssa Figari '06, Archaeology
I have been offered an analyst position at Kleinfelder, an environmental consulting firm in San Diego. I am very much looking forward to living in beautiful San Diego and gaining a new set of skills!
Molly Ford '98, Biology
I am currently a nurse practitioner in family medicine. A friend and I are going to Colorado to explore the Mesa Verde National Park. We have done all kinds of learning about the ancient Anasazi culture and their progression in life as traced by the ruins that are now preserved in the park. We are signed up for a full day interpretive tour, and will explore on our own the other two days, as well as visit the museum. We're arriving at the tail end of the Native American Arts Festival! Even 10 years after graduation, I still find the Native American studies so interesting!
Hayley Freedman '09
I will begin my term of service with AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (AmeriCorps NCCC) as a Team Leader for NCCC Pacific Region, Class XVI for 2009-2010.
Ben Frey '08
After graduating from Willamette, I moved to New York City to meet up with my girlfriend, Mallory, who was finishing a post-grad publishing program at NYU. We've been living in Park Slope, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, for about a year now.
I started doing administrative temporary work in the financial services industry as soon as I arrived in New York and after two or three months of that, was hired by a firm called BBR Partners, LLC. We cater to ultra-high net worth families (minimum of $20 million in investable assets) and advise in all financial matters such as investing, tax planning, estate planning etc. Our primary strength is that we don't sell any financial products, custody money, or employ brokers-in other words; our advice is free of conflict. And yes, we managed to avoid Bernie Madoff, among others. My title is Portfolio Administrative Assistant-I reconcile the daily cash movements in our accounts, upload statements to our website, submit class action materials on behalf of our clients and vote their proxies as well. I also help to ensure that all of the information in our accounts is as accurate as possible.
Lael Grant '07
I am currently self-employed and working in the field of archaeology in New Mexico. Last year I spent seven months performing surveys and excavations of sites along the ancient south highway of the Chaco Complex. Lately I've been working on Cultural Resource Management and Archaeology and Pecos National Monument Complex. In addition, I've been performing survey and excavation of sections along the Historic Santa Fe Trail.
Amy Hagelin '08
I work at Habitat for Humanity Chile in Santiago, Chile as the Volunteer Mobilization Coordinator.
Adrienne Hall '07
I am attending the University of Pennsylvania Nursing School and hopefully will graduate by the end of 2010 with a BSN. I am considering sub-matriculating into the pediatric master's program soon. I was super excited to see that Phillipe Bourgois is an Anthropology professor here at Penn and that he is doing a research project with one of the nursing professors. I remember really enjoying his book during anthropological theory class. Even though I am not an anthropology student anymore, it still influences my academic life daily.
Helena Hoffman '05
I am a candidate for the master's degree in public policy program from UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy.
Gillian Holland '05
I will be attending AT Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Mesa, Arizona (it's a 3 year old osteopathic university featuring an integrated curriculum). My fiancé and I are moving to Arizona next week for medical school and returning to Sacramento next year for our wedding! It turns out my mentor neighborhood doctor here in Sacramento was an anthropology major at Harvard and really enjoyed the unique perspective it gave her in medical school.
Heather Hudson '06
After living at poverty level for one full year as an Americorps Vista Volunteer, I was fortunate enough to get hired on by the amazing organization that I did my service at. I am now the Grants Coordinator for El Centro de la Raza, a non-profit organization serving as the voice and hub of the Latino community here in Seattle. We provide over 23 different programs and I am responsible for writing 95% of the grants to support them.
I credit my previous studies of anthropology, studying abroad in South America for a year and my amazing professors for helping to lay the foundation for this current path. I am always ready to engage in conversation about anthropology and my degree has provided me with great insight and continues to force me to understand new perspectives.
Shun Kaneko '02
I work for a German auto company called Daimler AG and work as an Executive Assistant to the Vice President. I'm based in the Tokyo office and provide business support to and advise the Vice President in Japan.
Beth Kowal '02
Since I graduated in 2002, I went to teach English in Iwate, Japan for two years. I co-taught English in a junior high school in a small village of 4,000 people. I also taught lessons to elementary school students and adults on a weekly basis. I returned to the U.S. in 2004. I spent time in Spokane, WA working at an outdoor equipment retail company. I also spent a year as an AmeriCorps member in Spokane, WA. I was a Literacy Program Coordinator. I developed community reading programs in a high poverty elementary school, matched over 50 community volunteers to read with 100 students, and coordinated a neighborhood-wide reading night.
I then began graduate school at SIT (School for International Education) Graduate Institute in Brattleboro, VT in 2008. I spent a year taking classes on campus. My major will be in international education. The second year of my master's program requires an internship. Willamette has had prior interns from SIT and I applied to be the graduate intern at the Office of International Education at Willamette for the 2009-2010 school year. And, here I am. I will work here from Aug. 2009-May 2010. My major responsibility will be working with the Language in Motion program where we encourage study abroad returnees and international students to give presentations to classrooms in Salem Keizer School District. I look forward to it!
Marcella Kriebel '07
The Smithsonian American Art Museum has offered me a spot in the Advanced level internship program. I will get the chance to work in about four different departments during my time there, and will also be attending many workshops and lectures about museum operations. This includes the topics of art history, conservation, exhibition design, and registration.
My brother and I are currently (2009) living outside Wellington, New Zealand on a family's farm helping out with the daily chores--some wood chopping, feeding the sheep and horses, and baking bread are some highlights of our days so far. We both have gained a lot of wine knowledge while working the grape harvest March-May, and the traveling afterwards so far has been fantastic.
Arija Linauts '05
I received my M.A. in Humanities and Social Thought at New York University. Currently I am an Associate for the Policy and Advocacy Leadership Initiative with Teach for America.
Steven Malick '07
After serving with Teach for America in New Jersey 2007-09, I am now a middle school teacher, teaching Mathematics, Science, and Debate at the Bronx Lighthouse Charter School (BLCS), Lighthouse Academies. I don't know how to describe how my studies have impacted my work at BLCS and in urban education. The way anthropology asks us to examine the world is how I examine my classroom and how I can connect with my kids to push them academically. Many of the reasons that I am an effective teacher here can be traced back to my studies in anthropology. I'll be going to Hunter College in the fall to get my Masters in Education.
Alina Mankin '07
I have just finished my two-year commitment with Teach for America teaching Special Education in Oakland, CA. During my time in TFA I also received a master's in education and two teaching credentials from Alliant International University in San Francisco. Next year I will be piloting a new Special Education program at a middle school in Oakland, teaching a self-contained class for students with social-cognitive deficits.
Danielle Mathey '01
After graduating from Northwestern University School of Law I worked as a Staff Attorney for the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Atlanta, GA. Currently, I am a Litigation Associate at Skadden, Arps, Slate Meagher & Flom, LLP in New York.
I have found that the research skills and multidisciplinary approach learned in my anthropological studies have been invaluable. I learned to ask the questions and seek the information that enables me to have a broader understanding of the issues in a given case. As a result, I relate better to my clients; understand my opposition better; and have been able to take my advocacy to a level that includes the entire picture surrounding the case, be it a social issue or an industrial particular. My anthropological studies are key to my pro bono work, which largely centers on immigration and asylum. These cases have more than once caused me to pull out old books from past anthropology courses for reference, and I have directly relied on those courses for insights into a particular asylum claim, and the best way to present its unique circumstances.
Maria Montes '05
I am currently working for the Los Angeles Unified School District as a Spanish teacher, just about to start my fourth year. I have been teaching for three years, mainly English and Ancient Civilizations/Cultures and Medieval World History, but had to switch this year due to a severe budget crisis in our school district. I loved teaching history because I could explore so much of the cultures with my students. Being an anthropology major really allowed me to delve into the cultures more and expose that to my students. I am hoping to begin a master's in anthropology program soon.
Jennifer Myrick '99
My current job title is: Admissions Advisor and Student Records Coordinator at Kodiak College, an extended campus of the University of Alaska Anchorage. I have been working at Kodiak College, UAA for 5 years. After graduating in 1999 from Willamette and before starting to work at Kodiak College, I spent my summers commercially fishing for salmon. In the winters I traveled, sailed in Florida and the Bahamas, worked for the Alutiiq Museum in Kodiak, and spent a legislative session in Juneau working for Kodiak's House Representative.
I am currently pursuing a Master of Education in Counseling from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (by distance delivery) and have 6 classes left. My fiancée and I are getting married this coming November. A bachelor's degree in anthropology provided the perfect foundation to help me connect with, understand, and communicate well with people.
Mara Ongman '00
Three years ago I graduated from the University of Washington's Master of Social Work program. For two years I worked for Washington State as a child welfare social worker and specialized in working with Native American children, families and tribes. Last year I took a job as a School Social Worker at the University of Washington's Experimental Education Unit. This is an early childhood school (birth-kindergarten) for kids with special needs. I enjoy my job immensely as it combines so many of my interests and passions.
My Willamette anthropology experience, and in particular my senior thesis work on the social construction of disability, has informed my practice and fueled my passion for disability and social justice issues. Not only was my Willamette experience important to my development, but it has helped me become a better mentor and teacher to the adult learners that come through the University.
Joanna Piatek Sooper '99
I am in my seventh year of teaching English as a Second Language with the North Clackamas School District. I do think my Anthropology major is useful in my everyday life. Cultural awareness and empathy are key parts to education and parent communication. Another benefit of teaching is travel time. My husband and I continue to save our pennies all year to experience another part of the world as often as we can.
Last summer we explored Beijing and Northern Thailand. I took cooking classes in Chiang Mai in a woman's home. I think it was one of the best things I have ever done!
Here is a bit about it:
Edith Polanco '09
I am currently applying for a position as an academic support coordinator for Hacienda Community Development Corporation in Portland.
Sarah Potts '07
I'm an Associate Marketing Manager at Pacific Coast Feather Company in Seattle, WA.
Kurt Reeser '02
Currently, I work as a Project Supervisor of the Washington Reading Corps with the Educational Service District 112 in Vancouver, Washington. My main responsibilities include recruiting, managing, training and supporting AmeriCorps and VISTA members who serve with the Washington Reading Corps (WRC) program at ESD 112. It is my responsibility to work with participating schools and head start programs to ensure that they are fulfilling grant requirements and obligations and make sure my program is running as smoothly as possible. I am in charge of communicating program success and progress to the Washington Service Corps (our direct funding source), state AmeriCorps and VISTA partners, local legislators, and media. I currently manage nearly 30 AmeriCorps members serving in 12 different schools in the communities of Kelso, Vancouver, Stevenson, Carson, White Salmon, Klickitat, Wishram and Goldendale. In short the WRC program places AmeriCorps members in elementary schools and head start centers to provide additional tutoring to young students in reading and pre-literacy skills. Our members serve full time for a year and receive a modest living allowance each month and a scholarship upon completion of the program.
My job requires me to interact with an extremely diverse mixture of people on a daily basis and help others resolve conflict, solve problems and communicate effectively despite differences. Furthermore, my job requires me to work in many small and remote communities across SW Washington and build relationships and trust with the schools and community members we serve. I feel that my background in anthropology has been critical to my success in managing this program.
Daniel Rivas '02
I moved to Portland in early 2010 and am pursing copywriting/marketing/communications opportunities. I've just started doing some provisional work with a company called Looptworks (www.looptworks.com). It's a start-up that designs clothing from excess materials. I have a MFA in Creative Writing from University of Michigan and am also writing fiction, but with mixed success.
Natahlia Rubin '07
I am currently working as a lead preschool teacher but this will end in about two weeks. I have been with this preschool for one year and a half. I am currently getting my Masters in Social Work degree at Eastern Washington University. I am hoping that this avenue will allow me to work with refugees and to eventually work out of the country in Aid and Relief efforts. Starting this spring I will be interning with Idaho Child Welfare, because refugee populations are not an option in Spokane, WA. Anthropology is still my passion and has given me a unique way to view the world and the diversity of peoples I am in constant contact with. Willamette prepared me well for the future and was an amazing experience. Thank you all for your passion.
Bryan Short '05
Currently I do copywriting for front end and back end campaigns. I also work for HDR photography, PPC (pay per click) campaign engineering, and CRM (customer relationship management) with website integration, shopping cart, function, cross sells, up sells, list pollination, squeeze pages, and all things response.
Carly Smith Kenagy '06
After graduating in May of 2006 I spent the next three years working for a small business/technology consulting firm in Portland. I first worked in accounts payable/accounts receivable for a client, and then I worked on various projects as a Business Consultant. My employer was the firm Strategic Solutions NW, LLC, based in Beaverton. In 2010, I'm completing the post-baccalaureate requirements for the Speech-Language Pathology program, and applying to the graduate program for the Fall of 2010. My anthropological studies have greatly informed my decision to enter the field of speech-language pathology, in which I'll be able to combine my love of people with my love of language and scientific study (I was also a Spanish major and nearly a Chemistry minor). I'm excited to be able to apply my knowledge of ethnographic techniques and my anthropological understanding to this service-oriented field. Whether I work in the schools or in a hospital I will surely encounter people with a wide variety of backgrounds, and I will strive to treat them as whole people, taking into account their cultural and linguistic contexts in addition to their clinical pathologies.
Theresa K Somrak '09
I cannot believe it's approaching a year since graduation! After graduating in May 2009, I started a State/National AmeriCorps position with a social service non-profit in Portland. I worked with the anti-poverty nonprofit Impact Northwest (until recently known as Portland Impact) in their Brentwood-Darlington Community Center in SE Portland. I was in the Parent Child Development Services, with the title of Parent Child Support Specialist, aiding the department in general and supporting the staff of Parent Child Specialists. It has been a fabulously enriching experience as I've not only learned a great deal about social work, strength-based practices and my organization's philosophy, and the non-profit sector, but also have had the opportunity to go to many professional trainings and learn more about myself and what it is I do want to apply myself and my professional skills to. However, my 11-month term is coming to a close at the end of April, and I feel as if I am in a much similar place to the situation I found myself after graduation: having just completed a great learning experience and facing the great unknown world of "real" employment.
But I do feel much more prepared with a whole 10 months of concrete application of and building on the strong foundation of skills I developed during my undergrad years at WU. I am so thankful for this foundation, and remember each day that I would not be where I am without the wonderful people and resources that have nurtured and challenged me to make me who I am with the tools I have today. As an AmeriCorps volunteer I live on an at-poverty-level stipend from the government, and it is quite a challenge to make ends meet. As I work with families who have much greater hardships and less privilege than myself, I am reminded that I am not "poor", just "broke" -- the difference being that, even though I have no cash flow, I have the internal and external resources to improve my situation. I am grateful to Willamette and all the faculty and staff there who have touched my life and guided me to this place of opportunity. Thank you!
Brian Stuhr '05
I am currently in my final year of graduate study at the University of Colorado at Denver. I am pursuing both a Master of Landscape Architecture degree and a Master of Urban Design degree. I will also be receiving a historic preservation certificate.
My anthropology background acquired at Willamette has been invaluable in my graduate studies. I have applied fieldwork ethics working with community members in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans and the Make It Right Foundation to assist in designing a redevelopment strategy that is both appropriate and sustainable. My anthropology training has helped me to better understand the cultural landscape as well as the natural and built landscapes.
Damon Terzaghi '05
I currently work in Washington D.C. performing national policy and program development for the Medicaid program, the nation's public health care program for individuals with disabilities, people with low-incomes and the elderly. Willamette's Anthropology Department was instrumental in preparing me for my current career in health care. Whenever I am working with the various populations who are enrolled in government and private health insurance, the ability to understand different perspectives, mindsets and cultures is invaluable. Many of my supervisors and colleagues have commented on how well anthropology's lessons apply to all kids of health and human service programs.
I'm also attending Trinity University in the evenings for a master's degree in health care administration. It's a blast, very busy, but very rewarding. I get to travel all over the country working with various groups around ways to make sure that people with disabilities and low income families get health care. I will know in a few weeks if I have passed my naval security clearance and gained a Navy Health Professionals Scholarship, guaranteeing me free medical school in exchange for service in their Medical Corps.
Kelsey A Walsh '09
I am currently a Teacher's Aide at the Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center, which is an extension of the Pacific Science Center.
Marianne Ward '08
I am currently working on a master's degree in sport management through the University of San Francisco. We just started our second year and I graduate in May '10. I am also working at the University of Southern California (USC), University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), as a Project Coordinator on grants that work to make systematic changed to California's health care and how it deals with Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN). Finally, this past year (08-09) I was the assistant varsity softball coach at La Salle High School in Pasadena, CA, which is also my alma mater.
Melissa Wheeler '04
I teach a World Cultures and a World Languages class in a Roseburg, Oregon, middle school. I feel incredibly fortunate that the principal saw my resume at a job fair three years ago, called me up, and said my background looked perfect for that job! Due to the nature of that position, I use anthropology every day. I teach my students to think anthropologically when approaching a new culture, language, or idea that they haven't encountered before - to see the logic and reason in how another group does something, not to just say "they're weird!" Additionally, I believe I approach my students as subjects sometimes-I have to figure out what's meaningful to them and how they're seeing something in order to make my instruction relevant to their lives. I couldn't not be an anthropologist every day! I'm incredibly grateful for the training I received at Willamette!
Amelia Williams '02
Currently I am an English Language Development (ELD) teacher for Kindergarten through 3rd grade students in the Beaverton School District. I came back to Oregon after receiving a M.A. in Teaching from the School for International Training (World Learning) in Brattleboro, VT and did student teaching in Massachusetts. I feel as though what I learned in my Anthropology studies at Willamette continually resurfaces. In my current work with 5-9 year old English language learners and their families, I often think about the culture of public schools and whether or not we are creating a welcome learning community for all families. I feel lucky to be working with great kids, who have great stories and teach me a lot. Hopefully what they learn in my little English groups will in turn empower them as learners in school and beyond.
Kimmy Wilson
I am currently on maternity leave after having our first child on March 1st. I am taking a year off to stay home but before that I was teaching kindergarten in Denver Public Schools. I went back to school and received my master's degree in educational psychology with an emphasis in growth and development in 2008, also from University of Colorado at Denver. I will go back to teaching for the 2010-2011 school year.
Adam Withycombe '98
I am currently teaching 3rd grade at an inner-city school in Knoxville, TN. It may seem far removed from anthropology, but I honestly use my degree on a regular basis. I started my teaching career with a middle school Social Studies position in mind, but found myself using my Spanish in elementary schools. I taught two years of bilingual 5th grade in Woodburn, OR, followed by 2 years of bilingual 3rd grade in Walla Walla, WA. I then got my chance at middle school Social Studies working with talented and gifted students in Walla Walla for a year. Culture is a large part of middle school Social Studies, and I really tried to bring my anthropological interests into play with this group. I try to tie human geography, ecology, and religious traditions together so that my students see patterns in world cultures.
My wife, Jenny, took and has subsequently finished a PhD program in sport psychology at the University of Tennessee, which is what has brought me here. Now that I am working with a population very different from my previous experiences, I find myself using anthropology both in my teaching materials as well as means of reaching a diverse student population. Constantly thinking about cultural differences allows me to learn from my students, though I still cannot seem to get used to the southern drawl. I plan to work towards my administrative certificate in the next few years, as I tend to see things in big pictures.
Jenelle Woodlief '05
I am currently a doctoral student of social policy and US healthcare policy at the Brandeis University's Heller School for Social Policy and Management.

Maine's continuing hospital debt dispute demonstrates the often befuddling, contradictory political process of creating legislation. But the latest twist might just provide the political cover Gov. Paul LePage needs to allow Medicaid expansion to go forward.
Think of what could have been accomplished if it had been politically possible for Democratic and Republican lawmakers to meet with LePage months ago and negotiate a plan to repay the hospital debt, issue a new liquor contract and expand Medicaid. It may have looked like what the Democrats are now proposing: Pay the hospitals the debt they are owed by issuing revenue bonds backed by the state's future liquor revenue (LePage's idea) and agree to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (mostly supported publicly by Democrats).
Yet the resistance has been fierce. LePage called the Democrats ' proposal an "ultimatum," "a sin" and "criminal." House Minority Leader Ken Fredette, R-Newport, called it an "irresponsible, last-minute stunt." The House Republican Office issued a press release detailing times in the last two months when Democratic legislators complained about tying one legislative initiative to another.
Political irony abounds. Democrats initially resisted tying together the liquor contract and hospital payback plan — until they put together a plan to do just that. Their proposal at first, though, required a large upfront payment from the winning liquor vendor to pay the hospitals rather than a revenue bond. Now — after an independent analysis revealed the upfront payment would cost the state more in the long term — Democratic leaders are putting together a new bill. It would have revenue bonds pay off the hospital debt, just as LePage wants, and require the state to expand Medicaid access by raising income eligibility limits, just as a majority of polled Maine residents want.
Meanwhile, Republicans encountered their own political irony. Fredette on Monday issued a statement to say the hospital payback plan "deserves a clean, up-or-down vote," even though the plan has never been solely about paying off the hospital debt. LePage has also tied in voter-approved bonds, saying he will not release them until the Legislature approves a hospital-repayment plan. The state's hospitals are owed $484 million, dating back to 2009, because they provided services to Medicaid patients but were not reimbursed.
Ideally, LePage and other Republicans would agree to Medicaid expansion based on its own merits: providing all Maine residents access to health care. Analyses have shown Maine is likely to get a good deal in terms of federal funding, especially in comparison to other states. But if LePage has so far not agreed to expand Medicaid, what would have to change for him to do so?
The Democrats may have finally hit the political sore spot: Will LePage veto a bill that does exactly what he has been requesting for months — pay back the hospitals — if it includes Medicaid expansion? The politics may have been convoluted until this point, but the intention is clear: The odds are greater that he'll approve an omnibus bill that includes the hospital payback plan than a bill that only addresses Medicaid expansion.
The Democrats' bill may give LePage the opportunity to expand Medicaid and simultaneously appease his base. He can say Democrats forced the issue, and he took the high road to pay the hospitals. Or, he could finally come around to Medicaid expansion, as other Republican governors have done, and recognize that he would be supporting the hospitals by expanding Medicaid.
After all, the Maine Hospital Association, which represents the state's 39 hospitals, supports both getting the money they are owed and expanding coverage for Maine's low-income residents.
Members of each party face their own political ironies. The ultimate question is whether the GOP will be willing to bend as Democrats have, acknowledge their contradictions, and move on. In the end, the policy, not the politics, will have the longest-lasting impact on Maine people.

I dream of a system where "public school" is not a dirty word. A system that I would willingly allow my future children to enter, without worry. Where good education isn't equivalent with the depth of your pocket. A place where the value of education is recognized and funded accordingly.
I dream of an environment where students are not ranked by their test scores or their abilities, but by the way in which they learn. Where students are grouped together diversely, and where the method of teaching does not hold any of them back. A place where students don't have to be afraid to raise their hands or make mistakes and where teachers know how to help them when they do make mistakes. Each classroom would be it's own world, once in which every student is a welcome inhabitant.
I dream of students who believe in themselves. They never believe they are stupid. They are not afraid to come to school. No student is, in reality, left behind. They are taught not things that society at whole believes they should know, but are relevant to their lives. I dream of a place where college is not indicative of a future, but simply a personal choice.
I dream of a system that trusts it's teachers instead of telling them what to do. Where there is freedom in curriculum. A place where standardized testing was simply a tool of measurement not the only tool.
I dream of a profession that does not work it's teachers to the bone. Hours would be regular, and pay would be comfortable. Teaching would be a desirable career, and not something that would beat your down until you felt unable to do it. They do not have to deal with the emotional toll of seeing students fail and feel powerless to help.
I dream of a school where parents are important, too. Where there are people who focus on getting parents to see the importance of their children's education, and become active participants. Parent involvement would not be an afterthought, or something there's not enough time for. A place where school and community are synonymous. The burden would not fall on just the teachers and administrators, but everyone.
I dream of a system that would allow this.
What is your vision for our educational system? How close or far away are we from it? And how realistic would it be? How can we work towards a more harmonious and beneficial system?

Ocean Avenue Kitchen
Carter Design opened up a wall and created a counter to eat at and enjoy the view to exclude the need for a table, as space was limited.
The bleached walnut was a material used on all the cabinetry throughout the condo to bring in an organic wood element that did not overtake the art. Jason Koharik's custom light and the vintage Bertoia chairs add just the right pop.

As in the living room, the overall kitchen design emphasized visual simplicity and clean lines for a relaxed and uncluttered feel as seen on HGTV's Fixer Upper.

Everyone's favorite Smoky Mountains motorsports photographer, Killboy, caught shots of an unidentified trike as it traversed the Tail of the Dragon, betraying its duty as a test vehicle by way of various manner of tech gear. Speculation on its origin ranges from a BMW skunkworks project to a KTM-Audi mashup for the weekend-racer set. Like the Volkswagen GX-3 concept, killed by VW legal before it made production, it's got two wheels up front and one in the back, but unlike the GX-3, it's got a far more bike-like seating position. We're sure there's more to come, but from whom?

Game 1: Farmingdale State - 7, Brooklyn College - 4
Game 2: Farmingdale State - 6, Brooklyn College - 5
Brooklyn, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State softball team improved to 7-5 overall with a non-conference sweep over Brooklyn College on Friday afternoon at BC Field in Brooklyn, N.Y. The Rams took a 7-4 victory in game one and scored three runs in the seventh inning of game two for the eventual 6-5 win.
Tied 1-1 after two in game one, the Rams jumped ahead 3-1 in the third on four hits, including RBI singles by freshmen pitcher Andrea Klarman (Medford, N.Y.) and left fielder Allison Dailey (Commack, N.Y.). Brooklyn got a run back in the bottom of the inning, but Farmingdale State scored a run in the fourth and three in the sixth for a 7-2 advantage.
In the seventh, Brooklyn scored two runs after two hits and an error. With the bases loaded and two outs, junior pitcher Taylor Webb (West Babylon, N.Y.) forced a line out to left for the third out to hold on for the win.
Junior centerfielder Michelle Mongiello (Elmont, N.Y.) was perfect at the plate (4-for-4) with a double, homerun, 2 RBI's and three runs scored. Klarman went 3-for-4 with a triple, 3 RBI's and two runs scored, while freshman first baseman Lori Michalowski (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) also went 3-for-4 with a RBI.
In game two, a long first inning would give Brooklyn a 5-3 lead. The Rams scored three runs on three hits, while Brooklyn scored five runs on three hits and three errors. No runs would scored until the seventh inning when Farmingdale made their game-winning comeback.
With one out, Michalowski homered to centerfied to make it 5-4. Sophomore catcher Meagan Anderson (Patchogue, N.Y.) followed with a double to right center, forcing a Brooklyn pitching change. Mongiello singled up the middle and advanced to second on a throwing error, as Anderson scored to tie the game at 5-5.
With two outs, freshman first baseman Andrea Klarman singled to right field to score junior shortstop Michelle Mongiello for a 6-5 lead. The Rams held on in the bottom of the inning as junior pitcher Taylor Tedeschi (Levittown, N.Y.) tossed a strikeout, fly out and ground out to improve her record to 2-4 this season. Sophomore pitcher Renee Chicco (North Babylon, N.Y.) pitched the first five innings for Farmingdale State, allowing just four hits with a strikeout.
Mongiello, who played her first career game at shortstop, went 1-for-3 with a run scored and RBI. Junior right fielder Marissa Monaco (Bohemia, N.Y.) was 2-for-4 with a run and RBI and Anderson led the team with three hits, including two doubles, and two runs scored.

Complete stories come with a shot list and matching music to make it easy for you to tell the story of a trip to the museum or a visit to a far away country.
From the famous scroll to music attribution and "made with FotoMagico", credits come with a lot of built-in intelligence that makes creating a slideshow a delight.

Audio Volume Envelopes & Fades (Pro feature)
The most requested feature! Use envelopes to make parts of the music softer when you intend to speak, or if video volume should take center stage, or increase volume when you want to enhance the mood.
Improved Text Editing and Text Placeholders (Pro feature)
Editing and formatting titles has been much improved in FotoMagico 5, removing the pain of working with the OS X font panel. If you present your slideshow in front of a photo club, for example, you might want to insert info such as EXIF metadata – the date the photo was taken, ISO, exposure, aperture and the like – from your photos.
Additionally, you may want to include title and artist of the music just playing, slide number and slideshow author - all this can now be edited into the titles dynamically with Text placeholders.
Key Features

You simply don't have to care, FotoMagico always shows your pictures at its best.
You can even use pictures with weird aspect ratios such as panoramas. While most other slideshow programs would either cut them off or give you huge black bars at the top and the bottom, with FotoMagico, simply pan across the entire image.
Wouldn't it be great if video editing was as easy as creating a slideshow with photos? With FotoMagico it is! Freely pan, zoom and rotate videos in any format. Use a YouTube video together with the pristine full 1080p from your DSLR.
You don't have to care about frame rates, aspect ratios or resolution. Simply place all the media you desire onto the stage and FotoMagico takes care of the rest. Video made for photographers.

Easily enhance your slideshow with sound-effects, voice-overs, or compose a one-of-a-kind score for your show. Add narration with the built-in audio recorder (Pro feature) to vitalize your story.
Three audio tracks give you plenty of choices and the new Waveform view gives you more control than ever over how the slides play with the sound. Audio made for photographers.
Up to 6 Layers of photos, videos or titles in any combination allow for almost limitless creative freedom. Once you have developed a story complete with timing, sound, transitions and so on, you can easily turn it into a Snippet that allows you to replace the original photos with new ones, keeping all the settings that define the story.
Masks (Pro feature) define the transparency of a layer. They can be used to crop an image or reveal parts of it over time. You can also now change the opacity of a layer. See how to use Masks.
FotoMagico offers a unique combination of workflow models. Use the Storyboard to find the story in your slides by getting them in the right order and the Timeline view (Pro feature) to precisely control the timing. Each view offers unique advantages and you can freely switch back and forth. Introducing Chapters (Pro feature) into your slideshow allows you to work with a large number of slides with ease.

Vogue model sues Google over 'defamatory' blog
Lawsuit demands identity of 'old hag' libeller
Canadian model Liskula Cohen is demanding Google reveal the identity of the Blogger.com user whose Skanks in NYC blog is entirely dedicated to calling her a "skank", an "old hag" and other flattering descriptions.
According to the New York Daily News, 36-year-old Cohen has filed a defamation suit in Manhattan Supreme Court in the hope she can find out exactly who believes she's a "psychotic, lying, whoring, still going to clubs at her age, skank".
Cohen said of the blog: "It's petty, it's stupid and it's pathetic. And when I do find out who did this, at least I'll know who my enemies are."
She added: "I'm tall, I'm blond, I've been modeling for many years, and people get jealous. If I had to deal with everyone who is jealous, I wouldn't have time to do anything else."
Cohen's lawyer Steven Wagner admitted it's not easy to "identify bloggers who lob insults anonymously, as New York courts have generally declined to force them into the light". He did, though, insist: "We think we have a case. This is libelous, it's defamatory and you shouldn't just get away with this."
Cohen has previously appeared on the cover of Vogue, as well as clotheshorsing for Giorgio Armani and Versace. In 2007, she claimed her modelling career was prematurely ended by an unpleasant incident in which a Manhattan doorman hit her in the face with a champagne bottle.
Google declined to "discuss specifics" of her complaint against Blogger.com. ®

Gutierrez making immediate impact atop lineup
CHICAGO -- Franklin Gutierrez has rarely been a leadoff hitter in his Major League career, but the Mariners center fielder has made an immediate impact there in the early going this season.
Gutierrez hit safely in Seattle's first five games and was batting .412 going into Saturday's contest with the White Sox. Not only has he been swinging a steady bat, he's hit with power, leading off games on Wednesday and Friday with home runs.
But in typical Guti fashion, he's not looking to make a big deal of any of that.
"Oh man," said the 30-year-old. "I'm just trying to get on base. That's it. Obviously in the leadoff spot, when the game is starting, they throw more fastballs, so I'm trying to be ready for that. If I hit it good, it can go out. So I'm fine with that."
Gutierrez is splitting the leadoff role with Michael Saunders. He'll lead off against left-handed pitchers, with Saunders leading off against righties. The biggest issue with Gutierrez is keeping him healthy after he played just 132 games over the past two seasons because of various ailments.
For that reason, manager Eric Wedge didn't have him in the lineup on Saturday as he brings him along slowly after some leg soreness late in Spring Training. The White Sox started right-hander Dylan Axelrod, but Wedge said that wasn't why Gutierrez was rested.
"It's not so much right-left. It's just about when I feel Gut needs a day," Wedge said. "I'm trying to keep him ahead of it. It was a long night last night and with the cold weather and everything, I felt like it was the smart thing to give him a day today. I like playing them both all the time, but we're still working everybody through and doing what we need to do.
"He's performed great. We just want to try to continue to help him physically and make sure we stay ahead of everything."
Wedge does like what he's seen of Gutierrez in the leadoff role, which he had filled only 16 times in 721 career games prior to this season.
"I think the dynamic of him and Saunders up top is going to work for us," Wedge said. "I do like the right-left in regard to the leadoff spot with those two when they're both in there, then plug the other one in behind him. If one of them isn't in there, then we can push [Kyle] Seager in there, which has worked out well for us. It's nice to have these options."

According to public records, Lindsey Vonn owes more than $1.7 million to the IRS in "delinquent federal taxes."
What's owed:
The IRS filed a $1,705,437 tax lien against Vonn and her estranged husband Thomas on April 2 with the Elko County Recorder in Nevada.
That is a lot of cash. That's, like, one year's worth of 2010 Fernando Tatis. Vonn, for her part, claims it was an oversight and has made arrangements to "pay in full the balance due." Just like that? Must be nice. All this ugliness does not appear to have phased Vonn, who was still able to participate in her boy-that's-a-friend-but-not-a-"boyfriend," Tim Tebow's charity golf tournament yesterday at TPC Sawgrass.
Anyway, Linds, you just have to know better.
Tithes Taxes are a very important component in the day-to-day operation of our wonderful nation and they are definitely not optional.

Talpiot Tomb Updates
The official website for "The Jesus Discovery" is now up. And down (bandwidth limit exceeded). An interview with the authors is here, when the site is back up.
The Jesus Discovery book by James Tabor has skyrocketed to #1 in all of its categories at Amazon and an overall rank of #174.
More than a dozen photos from the press conference are online. (HT: Joseph Lauer). Apparently James Charlesworth, lead academic consultant to the team, skipped the show.
In a comment on Eric Meyers' post, Tabor advances the view that Jesus' body was first buried at the Holy Sepulcher site and then moved to the Talpiot tomb.
Robert Cargill suggests that the "fish" is a tomb nephesh and he claims (in the comments) that two photos supplied by the authors have been doctored or of different "fish." (I'm not convinced.)
Antonio Lombatti provides an image of another fish inscribed on an ossuary.
James Tabor confirms Gordon Franz's observation that everyone has the fish turned the wrong way. If so, why were all of the photos released as horizontal shots?
Jodi Magness is chagrined to see archaeology "hijacked in the service of non-scientific interests." In a comment, Tabor disagrees that such is the case and he writes of the fish etching that "at least half a dozen art historians have agreed with the Jonah interpretation." Stephen Goranson notes that none of them have been quoted and he wonders if "signed non-disclosure agreements help scholarship."
Michael Heiser explains why the process of using the "clueless archaeo-media" is rejected by scholars as a pursuit for cash and not for accuracy. "It's the methodological equivalent to using mainstream media connections to announce a cure for cancer without clinical trials, or presenting one's off-the-radar conspiratorial theory (the academic word would be avant garde) about Zionism instead of getting critical feedback from field experts first. But that's boring and doesn't generate sales."
James Davila is pleased with the scholarly response to the announcement and that the media appears to be heeding it (unlike in times past).
Summaries of responses are also provided by Tom Verenna, Mark Goodacre and Stephen Smuts.

Maybe it's just our imagination, but photographers working years ago seemed to take better, more intimate (i.e., more casual, not so perpetually, consciously posed) pictures of ballplayers in their locker rooms than photographers do today.
Maybe it's a question of "access" — that catchall term more often employed in the world of celebrities than in big-time sports. Perhaps it has something to do with class — or more specifically, cash. After all, in the 1940s, '50s and '60s, very few ballplayers could be called rich. Many of them worked during the off-season to make ends meet. Most of today's players, meanwhile, reside in a universe of entitlement and wealth impossibly removed from the day-to-day existence of the vast majority of the journalists covering them.
Or maybe it simply has to do with gender: it wasn't until the mid-1970s, after all, that women reporters began to conduct locker-room interviews with pro athletes. And even then, it was hardly smooth sailing. In the mid-'80s Dave "Kong" Kingman famously sent a rat to sportswriter Susan Fornoff, to let her know she wasn't welcome (by him and others of the same mindset, at least) among the boys.
Whatever the reason, old-school pictures from the locker room feel a little more raw, a little more real than those we see today. Here, LIFE.com offers some of the best made by LIFE's photographers across several decades.
Hell, you can almost smell the Barbasol. . . .

Paul Merson's Premier League predictions - Week 16
Soccer Saturday pundit sees positive results for Tottenham, Man City and Chelsea this weekend
Last Updated: 13/12/13 12:37pm
I quite like Hull at home, they've only lost once there this season and they're pretty decent.
Stoke had a great result last weekend against Chelsea winning 3-2 but I couldn't believe they scored three goals past them!
I think Hull have to win this but the issues surrounding the changing of their name means there is going to be a lot of negativity around the place.
The fans will be more onto that than getting behind the team. Still, I'm going on that home form.
Aston Villa v Man United (12.30pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1)
I've been disappointed with Man United this season. I think they've been poor. This is a massive game for them.
For me they're out of the Premier League title race I just think they've got to make sure they get in the top four. People might say it's a bit early but I can't see them winning five or six games on the trot with the team they've got.
Villa at home are not the best team to be fair and they were terrible last week against Fulham when they lost 2-0.
I never go for Villa at home but I think Man United will really go at them and Villa can play them on the counter attack. I think Wayne Rooney will end up being the difference here.
Tottenham v Liverpool (3.30pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1)
Spurs have had a few issues with their strikers but Roberto Soldado scored a hat-trick in the Europa League this week and that will give him a bit of confidence. I don't think he's a bad player, I just think he's taken time to settle in.
This is a huge game. Tottenham had a great result against Sunderland last weekend winning 2-1 after going one down - I thought that was a big result.
Liverpool haven't got Steven Gerrard or Daniel Sturridge available and I just don't know who is going to give Suarez the ball.
I like Philippe Coutinho but if those two are playing up the pitch I just can't see who is going to be able to give them ball through the defensive midfield and I think Tottenham are going to win this.
Man City v Arsenal
I think it's a big ask for Arsenal to win this game. Man City got a great result midweek against Bayern Munich and were able to rest all their big players like Sergio Aguero, Samir Nasri and Alvaro Negredo - who only played for a short time.
Arsenal, though, had a tough game against Everton, and had to travel to Napoli and back - this is a bad fixture for the Gunners. They've had no rest time and a lot of travelling. They wouldn't have got back until early Thursday morning and then they've got to fly up to Manchester on Friday so they're not getting much time to do anything.
I think Man City are brilliant at home and I'm going to have to tip them to win. I was at the game at the Emirates against Everton last weekend, Steven Pienaar and Ross Barkley got so much space and I just think if people like Nasri, David Silva and Aguero drop off and get that much space they're another level.
I just don't see how Arsenal can cope with them and it will be a game too far for them if it opens up.
Cardiff v West Brom
I don't know what's happened at West Brom. They played well at Chelsea and should have won, they well beat Villa and they drew and then they ended up getting beaten 2-0 by Norwich at home last weekend.
I watched it for Soccer Saturday and they weren't great and it has put them right back in the relegation race instead of middle of the table and if they'd have won that game they'd have moved up to 12th.
It's a big game for Cardiff, too. They need to win their home games because I don't see them getting much joy away from home especially after losing 2-0 at Crystal Palace last weekend. But I'll go for a draw because I don't think West Brom are as bad as where they are in the league and I think they're a decent team.
Chelsea v Crystal Palace
Palace have turned the corner like you can't catch your breath and they've let in one goal in five games. The players there have done great job and Marouane Chamakh is looking like the player he was when he first moved to Arsenal - and I thought he was decent when he arrived there. Barry Bannan is also on fire; he's got a great left foot and Cameron Jerome gives them energy.
Chelsea are struggling and I don't know what's happened. I don't think Jose Mourinho is comfortable with playing in this attacking way, he'd rather win 1-0 then these 4-3 and 3-2. I think he's been told to entertain and I don't think coaching wise he's comfortable doing that. I say they should win but they should have wiped the floor with Steaua Bucharest and it was a poor game.
Everton v Fulham
I thought Everton were brilliant last weekend at the Emirates but then Fulham beat Villa quite easily and Dimitar Berbatov was on fire. I think this is a game where Everton might struggle.
Games where the fans expect them to win - because Fulham are third from bottom - is where I think they might struggle. It's going to be a hard game. I think Fulham are going to sit back and they have got that bit of class and guile with Berbatov and if he plays well they've got a chance.
For Everton, Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin have been really good and might be key to them getting the result because I don't think this is going to be as easy for Everton as everyone will say it should be.
Newcastle v Southampton
This will be a good game, even though Southampton have hit a bit of a brick wall. They were beaten by Arsenal, Chelsea turned them over quite easily, and then they let in three against Aston Villa in last week.
I think Newcastle have properly turned the corner and what a part Alan Pardew has done there and to then go to Man United and win. I still think it will be hard game for them and I don't think Southampton are as bad as what their form shows. They easily deserved that 1-1 against Man City at home.
The Newcastle fans might turn up at this game and think 'Southampton have hit a brick wall and we're going to turn them over', but I don't think that will be the case. Hopefully it will be a really good game and I'm going to go Desmond here.
West Ham v Sunderland
West Ham are struggling. They've got no Andy Carroll or Kevin Nolan and if you take away the Fulham result they haven't really looked like winning any games.
Sunderland need to get winning quickly, losing their last two games - I know it was against Chelsea and Tottenham - but I still think losing both at home makes this another must win game.
If they lose this, West Ham go eight points ahead of them which means they need to win three games to catch up and I think that would be too much. I know it's only early but they've only won two in 15.
I think if they lose they're not far from bring relegated. I'm not being horrible but Sunderland need to keep West Ham down there in that scrap.
Norwich v Swansea
I watched Norwich last week and I didn't expect them to beat West Brom and I'm going to go for them to win this one as well.
I thought they would be in a relegation battle this season but they've really impressed me and have good home form.
Swansea haven't really impressed me this season.
They weren't great on Monday Night Football against Hull and then on Thursday they went to Switzerland and lost and that's a lot of travelling as well.

(AP) — President Barack Obama won Illinois on Tuesday, though it was too early to determine whether strong support in his home state would carry through to the big prizes of the night: a handful of U.S. House races where Democrats hoped to pick up some of the seats they lost two years ago.
The Associated Press called Obama's victory based on exit polling shortly after polls closed Tuesday.
The economy was the issue most on voters' minds.
Randy Yorke, who cast his ballot for Obama, said his own financial situation has improved since four years ago and that the president deserves another term.
"I'm much better off now than I was four years ago," said Yorke, 64, a lawyer from the Chicago suburb of Naperville. "The country's better off."
Jim Chmura, 67, of Oak Park, said he struggled with his decision right up until he punched his ticket for Romney, concluding he "could probably break through the gridlock" in Washington more easily to help improve the economy..
"It was not yes this one or yes that one," said Chmura, a semi-retired printing company manager who voted for Obama in 2008. "But I finally decided my biggest concern was the economy."
Tim Kelly, 56, a Springfield Republican and a self-employed software developer, said he voted for Romney because he thinks Obama has not "really led."
Democrats were looking to Illinois to add to their numbers in Congress, eyeing half a dozen races they consider competitive.
The state's Democratic congressional candidates have a big advantage because they're running in districts drawn to help them as much as possible. Illinois congressional and legislative districts were redrawn after the 2010 census to reflect population changes, and the Democratic majority in Springfield controlled the process.
That has created an extra challenge for Republican Reps. Judy Biggert, Robert Dold and Joe Walsh, all of whom live in the Chicago suburbs, and Rep. Bobby Schilling in the Quad-Cities area. New districts also give Democrats a shot at picking up an empty seat in eastern Illinois.
Last week, Obama officially endorsed the three Democratic candidates running in the Chicago suburbs: Tammy Duckworth, Brad Schneider and Bill Foster.
While some of their members, including tea-party Congressman Walsh, are in tight races, Republicans believe they can hold most of the seats and perhaps pick up one in southwestern Illinois where the Democratic incumbent, Rep. Jerry Costello, is retiring.
U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is expected to win another term despite taking a leave of absence — and not campaigning — since June to be treated for bipolar disorder and other health problems.
Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady predicted the state's financial problems under a Democratic governor and Democrat-controlled General Assembly could cause voters to opt for Republicans in the congressional races.
With the new political map, all 177 seats in the Illinois General Assembly were on the ballot. That produced some fierce battles, but there was little chance Republicans would pick up enough seats to seize control of the state Senate or House.
Arguably the strangest legislative race involved former Rep. Derrick Smith's bid for another term. The Chicago Democrat was booted out of the House in August after he was indicted on federal bribery charges, but he remains on the ballot. Hoping to avoid embarrassment, party leaders were backing third-party candidate Lance Tyson.
Obama spent the day in Chicago and was expected to deliver either a victory or concession speech at his campaign's election-night party at the McCormick Place convention center.
The election season was quieter than usual in Illinois, with no statewide races on the ballot and Obama expected to easily win the state's electoral votes. Yet Cook County Clerk David Orr, who is responsible for overseeing voting in suburban communities around Chicago, described turnout as "robust."
Illinois voters also get to decide whether to amend the state constitution. The proposed change — which some voters found confusing — would require a three-fifths vote, instead of a simple majority, for any public body to increase pension benefits.

In the past year, cricket has said 'cheerio' to two great players on the international scene.
For England, Alec Stewart played his last Test match in front of his home crowd at The Oval against South Africa.
He played in a total of 133 Test matches amassing 8463 runs at an average of 39.54 with 15 hundreds and 45 fifties. Not only was he a stalwart with the bat but also a solid man behind the stumps which enabled him to take 263 catches and make 14 stumpings. He also captained his country on 15 occasions with the last being in 2001 vs Pakistan. Stewart always had a smile on his face and will be remembered as a good-natured man as well as an excellent cricketer.
For Australia, Steve 'Tugger' Waugh, the one of the two cricketing brothers to grace the international stage.
In a career spanning 18 years, Waugh took part in 168 Test matches all across the globe accumalating 10,927 runs at an average of 51.06 with a total of 32 centuries and 50 fifties. Waugh also decide to bow out of Test cricket in front of his home crowd in Sydney against India. While Stewart had his 'keeping to keep him going, Waugh will probably always be remembered as the captain of what is arguably THE best Test team ever and definitely the best in recent times (the authors recent times!!). Under his leadership in 57 Test matches, Australia won an incredible 41 of these games. One of Waugh's best features was his grit and determination which set him apart from other batsman, he priced his wicket too highly to give it away and that's the key to the player. Always determined to do his best and his best was always good enough.
Now, the key question to this thread is, now that these two players have left their respective sides, which out of England and Australia will miss Alec Stewart and Steve Waugh respectively the most?
England have lost their most experienced player, a good wicketkeeper and an excellent batsman.
Australia have lost their most experienced player, an excellent batsman and very good captain.
I will post my opinions later because the screen is beginning to wobble now.

Ex-Mountie turned coke smuggler to be sentenced in Seattle Friday
His criminal nickname was Pony Tail and he went from being an undercover drug cop to an international cocaine smuggler.
The transformation of former B.C. Mountie Rapinder "Rob" Sidhu from law enforcement to criminal mastermind should be a key consideration when he is sentenced in a Seattle courtroom Friday, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Vogel.
"Rapinder Sidhu was a high-ranking member of a well-organized, long-running international conspiracy that was responsible for the transportation and exportation of enormous quantities of cocaine from the United States into Canada," the prosecutor said in a just-filed sentencing memo.
Vogel said when Sidhu resigned in disgrace from the RCMP in 2003, "he organized and choreographed an entire cast of characters who moved enormous quantities of cocaine, with great success, thousands of miles."
"Even more troubling, according to several of his co-conspirators, he exploited the violence of the criminal organizations with which he was allied to intimidate them and others into doing his bidding," she said.
"He turned to his former adversaries in organized crime and sold them his specialized knowledge, with absolutely no regard for the outcome in his local community or the effect on society in general."
She didn't name any crime group in her 12-page memo, but in related cases, U.S. prosecutors have said the drug gang worked with B.C. Hells Angels.
Vogel submits that Sidhu got a big break when he negotiated a plea deal last October that recommends a sentence of between six and eight years for his role in smuggling hundreds of kilos of cocaine into Canada.
Normally someone with a leadership role in such a massive criminal operation would land in jail for more than 17 years, she said.
"It is important to note that the stipulated range of six to eight years' imprisonment represents a hard-bargained compromise," Vogel said, adding that the U.S. Attorney "believes that a sentence of eight years is the absolute minimum sentence that satisfies the law in light of the specific facts and circumstances of this case."
She also said Sidhu is minimizing his involvement in the drug ring that was broken up in 2008 with dozens of arrests and indictments on both sides of the border.
"Sidhu and his defence counsel are working very hard to try to convince probation and this court that he was just a pawn in a scheme run by others," Vogel noted.
"The truth, which cannot be ignored, is that unlike any of the other leaders in his vast scheme, Rapinder Sidhu was a former law enforcement officer. He was specially trained in investigating exactly the type of criminal he later became. He used his special knowledge and skills, obtained through that privileged position, to earn for himself and his criminal associates large sums of money in the international cocaine trade."
Vogel said two drivers caught with a total of 478 kilograms of cocaine in 2007 and 2008 incidents both told police that Sidhu was their boss.
One of the drivers told police that Sidhu threatened him, saying: "I know your wife, your wife's dad and family."
"This driver accurately identified Sidhu from a photograph, and knew that his BlackBerry nickname was 'Pony Tail,' " Vogel said.
Also troubling was Sidhu's recruitment of a young border guard to allow drug shipments into B.C. Jasbir Grewal was later caught and sentenced to five years.
"He contributed to the corruption of a fellow law enforcement officer, a younger kid he knew from his home neighbourhood, who in turn sabotaged his own career and livelihood. Unlike Sidhu, the inspector has repeatedly expressed what appears to be sincere remorse," Vogel said.
She said Sidhu's sentence must reflect what others in the gang have received. Former Abbotsford resident and gang leader Rob Shannon got 20 years. Some of the drivers who Sidhu got to haul the drugs in an RV and minivan got 12 years, Vogel noted.
"Sidhu's acceptance of responsibility has been marginal, and his attempts to re-cast his role as one of a pawn in this vast conspiracy are inconsistent with all the other facts gathered by this investigation," she said.
Sidhu, 46, has two fraud convictions in B.C. and is wanted in Quebec for obstructing an officer. He was also charged and acquitted in B.C. of impersonating a homicide cop to illegally obtain addresses for the Bacon brothers from a police computer.
Sidhu had a company in B.C. called IMAX Investigational Group, but moved to Montreal in 2012 in the middle of his trial on the impersonation charge.
Vogel said in her sentencing memo that Sidhu's "only reported assets are not in his name."
Sidhu's lawyer has also filed a sentencing memo with supporting documentation — including a letter Sidhu has written to U.S. District Court Judge Robert Lasnik.
But on Tuesday, Sidhu won a sealing order on the basis that his "privacy interest outweighs the general right of the public to know."

I explore the surreal potential of the locations or document the unexpected. I do not stage or direct, aiming at a real moment inspired by the surroundings, or a person's reaction and interaction with their immediate environment. The experience of being "elsewhere" forces my mind to retreat, and for my eyes to give their undivided attention to each instance of time, reminding me of the preciousness of every second, any of which may lead me to the image I am meant to find.
In photographing details, I focus on the fragments of life often overlooked, minutiae of aesthetic, philosophical or cultural value passed by. I look to presenting the viewer with a painting, a work of art created by the flow of life and time, which I saw and documented.
I was born in the former city of Leningrad, in the former country of USSR. I intended to be a fashion designer, studied film and animation, but along the way discovered I had a knack for digital design. I worked my way into the motion graphics and design industry, where I remain professionally to this day. In 2005, my partner and I founded balance gfx, a boutique firm dedicated to all things creative and we have been running it since.
If you are interested in high-end print, web or presentation design, please take a look at www.balancegfx.com
My off-hours artistic endeavors depend on season, time of day or my mood - from figure drawing to painting murals around NYC. However, over the last few years photography taken center stage as my primary creative outlet, one which allows me to develop a creative voice in a way which feels very true to my life right now.

Elba Island, Toscana - Italian Villa Vacations
Elba Island, Toscana - Tuscany
The Island of Elba is the ideal location for sports enthusiasts and those seeking an active holiday. It offers the perfect combination: nature, sea and sport. With a distance of 10 km from the continent and a size of 224 kmq Elba is the biggest island of the Tuscan Archipelago and actually the third-biggest of Italy. A large part of the Elba Island and of the other islands of the Tuscan Archipelago (Pianosa, Capraia, Montecristo, Giglio and Giannutri) are protected in the National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago. The climate is always mild with a middle annual temperature of ca. 16°; the average in winter is about 10° degrees, 14° in spring, 23° degrees in summer and 17° degree in autumn. There are more than 70 beaches on the coastlines of the island, some very peaceful, others more crowded.
Elba is well connected with the Tuscan coast in Piombino. A ferry takes 50 minutes to reach Portoferraio, main center of the island. Timetable depends on the season. In high season, almost every hour. Piombino is about 2 hours from Florence (motorway connections), a daily excursion in the city or in the tuscan inland is also possible. Elba is also accessible by plane flying directly to Marina di Campo that is served in summer by airlines out of Milan, Rome, and Pisa in Italy; Bern, Switzerland; Munich, Germany; and Vienna, Austria. Rental of a car on the island can be arranged on request.
Elba, onetime home-in-exile to Napoleon, has been largely ignored by English-speaking tourists. The Island is graced with a countless variety of beaches-- from rocky coves to pebbled inlets to sandy beaches. The water is cool, refreshing, and clear. Monte Capanne 1.018 meters, the island's highest peak, provides hikers with a panoramic view of the mainland of Italy and the islands of Corsica, Capraia, Pianosa and Monte Cristo. Its forests and mountain trails attract hikers and mountain bikers while stables offer guided rides through the hills. Elba has been inhabited as early as the 10th century BC by the Greeks then, through the centuries was conquered by the Etruscans, the Romans, the Normans and the Saracens. In 1802 it was annexed to France and in 1814 Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled here under the Treaty of Fontainebleau and left behind many marks, including two residences which are now open to tourists.
