Elgin-OHare shows bipartisan effort
Elgin-OHare shows bipartisan effortHistory was made last week with the groundbreaking of the much-anticipated Elgin-OHare Western Access project. Half a century ago, local and state leaders had the vision to build a road that directly connected the western suburbs with the airport. The Western Access project is a good example of what can be accomplished when the entire region works together. Through the years, we have overcome regional partisanship and the Chicago versus suburban mentality. We have successfully collaborated on a project that will achieve the vision set forth by our predecessors. Through our partnership with the Illinois Tollway and its Move Illinois capital program, this $3.4 billion project will relieve congestion, reduce travel times and enhance economic development along the corridor. The shovels in the ground signify the unwavering support by Governor Pat Quinn, Tollway Executive Director Kristi Lafleur, IDOT Secretary Ann Schneider, DuPage County, federal and state officials, local mayors, businesses, environmental groups and labor organizations. While we have made significant progress up to this point, there is still more work ahead of us. Moving forward will require patience, persistence and participation from all interested parties as we fulfill our vision for this state-of-the-art multimodal corridor as well as our transportation and economic development goals for the region.It is this kind of teamwork that will set the Elgin-OHare Western Access project apart from the others. By working together on funding, planning and economic development, the Elgin-OHare corridor will positively impact not only the region, but the entire state. Dan CroninChairmanDuPage County Board

I've had the chance to try quite a few South African wines in the past couple of weeks – and while I am not, say, enamored with the wines of the country, I do think South African producers are doing some interesting things, and are making some wines that will at least elicit consideration and conversation, which is what I love about wine. The general consensus is that wine growing, production and quality in general are all improving in South Africa.
First: Great, Affordable Whites
I do love white wines from South Africa, known to be plush and fruity yet vibrant and crisp and refreshing, from chardonnay to chenin blanc, sauvignon blanc and more, and usually at great prices. They tell me the cool climate helps. A winemaker from South Africa I spoke to last week said, But we don't want to be known only as a white wine producing country. That's fine, but white wine from South Africa is just so good!
Lately I've had the opportunity to try a few: The 2007 Glen Carlou Chardonnay is a good example of a fresh, clean white with a fresh, peachy nose with hints of sweetness, but dry on the palate. It's easy and light on its feet with fresh fruit and good acidity. Also the 2008 Juno Chardonnay (coming soon to Binny's) is bright, fresh and clear with light citrus fruits and refreshing acidity.
Also coming soon to Binny's is the 2007 Vin d'Orrance Chardonnay Cuvee Anais this chardonnay is a beauty. Butter and barrel influence on the nose, but subtle and creamy (not spicy or heavy-handed) just eclipsing the underlying clean fruit. Elegantly creamy on the palate, with lush tropical fruits gracefully in balance. The pourer proclaimed: It's Meursault from South Africa! It will hit select Binny's stores in a few weeks, retailing somewhere under $30 half the price of comparable French and California Chardonnay. If you love chardonnay, watch for it.
As I said, I like the white wines.
South African Reds: Identity Crisis
Then there are the reds, which to me fall into two general groups one is red wines that show characteristic South African funk. I've heard these descriptors used: band-aid, rubber band, leather, barnyard, and this one time I heard some guy say, rhubarb up a horse's ass. Some folks out there really like these qualities. Maybe I do, but only in small doses.
On the other hand, South Africa has also been offering a lot of sleek, fruity and oak driven, New-World styled reds. While I certainly like the style, it isn't uniquely South African, which I suppose is only a drawback to those South African producers who want to create an identity for their wines. In other words, if a shopper can find new-world style from California, Australia, South America and Spain, all at reasonable prices, South Africa might not be the first place that customer is drawn to.
I'm being a little obtuse, of course; there are quite a few compelling South African reds that manage to combine these elements to create unique and expressive wines, but (and I'm speaking candidly here and risking my friendship with the Binny's South African wine buyer and also my boss) they seem a little expensive to me. I mean, I've tried some interesting wines with layers of complexity and a tinge of that uniquely South African character (I guess it can be charming in small quantities) but customers might be more compelled to experience wines from this still-emerging country if they were drawn in with lower price tags.
That said, do not hesitate to taste these wines if you get the chance:
The 2005 De Trafford Cabernet Sauvignon is an awesome powerhouse, showing a list of complexities including plum, crushed black pepper and anise, smoke, vegetal overtones and just a touch of that barnyard earthiness. Very New-World, but probably not mistakable for a California Cab.
The 2004 Glen Carlou Gravel Quarry (available at select Binny's stores soon) has a nose with hints of that South African funkiness, layered in with vanilla and berry fruit. It starts soft on the palate but the tannins swell to balance power with the sleek fruit. I also tried The 2006 Gravel Quarry, which is younger and even bigger.
The 2006 Slowine Shiraz (this one will be available soon as well) is an outstanding South African value. I might recommend it to a fan of fruit-forward Australian shiraz who wants something with a slightly different twist. I would just have to get that person to the South African aisle first. The Slowine shows a tiny hint of barnyard on the nose, kept in check by layers of ripe red raspberry. Broad on the palate with great heavy fruit and a touch of cocoa. Watch for the Slowine it's a great value that will retail right around ten bucks.
What do you think?
So what do you think? Any favorites from South Africa I didn't list here? Are you customers out there willing to give a still-emerging wine country a chance, or another chance? And to you sales folks in the stores: are you willing to pull customers over to the South Africa aisle just to get them to try something new?

Since 1949, our main avenue for reaching children has been our radio broadcast. Listeners can feel God's guidance in their lives just by tuning in. In 2015, 928 radio stations received our masters for broadcasting. This number actually reflects a MUCH LARGER outreach than one might think. For example, we currently provide 55 sets of dailies (program CDs for stations that broadcast Your Story Hour six days per week). However, three of these sets go to satellite distributors that fill the broadcasting needs of 100 stations! Our surveys indicate that, on average, for every station to which we send Your Story Hour programs for airing, another three also air it as a repeater station, part of a network or satellite system. This means that a minimum of 1,000 stations are broadcasting our program in English alone and that over 3,000 stations broadcast the English, Spanish, and Russian programs combined.

In a couple of weeks it'll be football season again, and then Friday night at high school games it'll be the three P's again: pork, poi, pineapple.
It seems every time you go to a local prep game, big Polynesian men wearing floral print shirts and flip-flops are barbecuing and tailgating in the parking lot, and it smells fantastic, and if the wind is right, you still can smell a luau after halftime. And then you just won't settle for a hot dog.
Clark County has the United States' sixth-largest Polynesian community, the third-largest outside of Hawaii. A lot of Polynesian kids play high school football. Then they go on to play college football. Brigham Young and Utah recruit a lot of Polynesian kids, and this explains how BYU and Utah got pretty good in football over the past 25 years.
Now the Polynesian kids have even more than a cold day in Utah for which to aspire.
Plans were announced Wednesday for the establishment of a Polynesian Football Hall of Fame. I'm assuming the home of the shrine will be somewhere in Honolulu. It should be in Provo, Utah, in LaVell Edwards' backyard.
The former BYU coach is on the selection committee. So is Ron McBride, a former Utah coach. And the guy who has been broadcasting Hawaii football games since before Steve McGarrett told Danno to book 'em. I believe his name is Robert Kekaula. If there's anybody who knows Polynesian football, it's that guy.
Jesse Sapolu, who has four Super Bowl rings from his days with the San Francisco 49ers, was on hand to make the announcement. The first class of Polynesian guys that will hit you hard — and maybe one or two who played on offense — will be honored on the Thursday before the Pro Bowl in January.
In keeping with the spirit of the Pro Bowl, blocking or tackling will not be allowed at the induction ceremony.
"The unveiling of the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame will honor those who paved the way, whose shoulders I stood on, and our present and future stars of Polynesian descent," Sapolu wrote on his Facebook page. "It has been a long time coming. Proud day for all of us."
The news release said 60 Polynesians are playing in the NFL; 61, if you count Troy Polamalu's hair. Polamalu, of the Pittsburgh Steelers, probably is the most famous of the hard-hitting Polynesians, though Junior Seau was pretty good, too.
However, if you grew up in the 1970s watching the college football highlights from Saturday on Sunday morning after hurrying home from church, then the first footballer of Polynesian persuasion you might remember is the "Throwin' Samoan."
That's what they called Jack Thompson, who was the most prolific passer in NCAA history when his career at Washington State ended. He still has the coolest nickname ever. (Apollo Creed, "The Master of Disaster" — also sometimes called "The Count of Monte Fisto" — is second.)
I also recall a guy from that era named Joe Paopao, who played quarterback at Long Beach State; this might have been because one of the Chicago UHF channels showed Canadian football games late at night, and Paopao was a star up there.
Also, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that Vai Sikahema of Tonga still is returning punts for touchdowns in some faraway tropical paradise where the sun always shines.
UNLV's ties to the football-playing islands and archipelagos of the South Pacific are considerable. Seventeen players on the Rebels' training camp roster are Polynesians, and several former Rebels from the sugarcane and grass skirt nations have played in the NFL.
The first I remember was Lonnie Palelei, who played in the interior line when Jim Strong was coach and always had a huge smile on his face, despite having played for Jim Strong.
Palelei played six seasons in the NFL and one with the Las Vegas Outlaws of the XFL. More recently, former Rebels Frank "The Tank" Summers and his cousin, Martin Tevaseu, have gone from here to play on Sunday.
People forget that Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo, who led Hawaii to its first bowl game as its quarterback in 1989, served a three-year coaching apprenticeship at UNLV under John Robinson; Evan Palelei, Lonnie's son who starred at Bishop Gorman, is a senior starting defensive end for Nieumatalolo's Midshipmen.
Jimmy Morimoto coached 15 years at H.P. Baldwin High School in Wailuku, Hawaii, and is starting his seventh season on the UNLV coaching staff — he's also on the staff of Polamalu's summertime camp in American Samoa. Morimoto says playing football is consistent with the warrior mindset prevalent among Polynesian people.
"It's aggressive; it fits right in," Morimoto says. "It's a way to get after people in a legal format. You can't just walk down the street and tackle somebody."
If you could, BYU probably would offer those kids scholarships when they were 11, and then they'd have to erect a new wing at the Hall of Fame for Polynesian football players before it even opens.

Description: The Thermochron Server is an innovative approach to managing and monitoring Thermochron data. It has been designed to operate both as a standalone Thermochron management system and as a remote Thermochron data collection point. In either role, the Thermochron Server provides a reliable way to download logger data, mission loggers, and notify you of the logger alarm status.
When being used as a standalone Thermochron management system, the Thermochron Server provides a simple web interface which enables anyone to easily mission, view graphs, and download Thermochron data from the Thermochron Server with a standard web browser. Loggers may either be temporarily connected to the Thermochron Server to download the current data or permanently attached where the data is downloaded from the logger periodically. Many common operations do not even require a web browser after the initial configuration has been completed. The Thermochron Server displays the alarm status of loggers with both high and low alarm LEDs. It can also be configured to behave in a number of ways after downloading a logger's data:
Do nothing (leave the mission status in current state)
Stop mission
Stop mission, retrieve data, restart mission with same parameters (the mission start delay is configurable)
Stop mission if an alarm has occurred
The Thermochron Server can also be configured to act as a FTP client. When the FTP functions are enabled the Thermochron Server sends any newly downloaded logger data to the FTP server every 5 seconds. The FTP functions are particularly useful in enabling automatic delivery of logger data through firewalls while avoiding firewall configuration "challenges".

Lynbrook, NY (PRWEB) October 22, 2013
Tools4ever announced today that several secondary schools throughout the United States have implemented the company's identity and access management solutions during the third quarter of 2013. The solutions allowed the schools to automate their account management procedures and help improve access and security of their internal systems.
Tools4ever currently serves hundreds of elementary, secondary and higher educational institutions throughout the United States, providing password management, single sign-on and user management solutions. Tools4ever's implemented solutions include Self Service Password Reset Management (SSPRM), Enterprise Single Sign-on Manager (E-SSOM) and User Management Resource Administrator (UMRA).
A partial list of educational entities to employ the services of Tools4ever during the third quarter of 2013 includes:
- Beaufort County Schools- public school district, Beaufort, SC
- Tuscaloosa City Schools-public school district, Tuscaloosa, AL
- Auga Fria Unified School District-public school district, Avondale, AZ
- Frenship ISD- public school district, Wolfforth, TX
- East Greenbush Central Schools- public school district, East Greenbush, NY
Tools4ever's UMRA was implemented by many educational entities because of its ability to connect with many leading student information systems and electronic learning environments including Banner, eSchool, Blackboard and many more.
"UMRA allows school technology leaders to easily synchronize user accounts and data automatically, and eliminates manual management of the information," said Dean Wiech, Managing Director of Tools4ever-East. "This in turn allows schools to reduce account pollution, and improve security of systems and applications, as well as saving them much time and money."
Educational entities also implement Tools4ever's SSRPM and E-SSOM to allow them to easily manage student passwords and reduce calls to the helpdesk regarding password issues. E-SSOM allows students and employees to log in just once and thereafter be automatically signed into all applications launched, eliminating the need to remember several sets of credentials.
In addition, SSRPM is also widely implemented by schools because it eliminates the need to contact the helpdesk by allowing users to securely reset their password themselves.
Tools4ever is a leader in the education IAM space and has carried out thousands of implementations of its products for educational entities. District Administration also named UMRA one of the top 100 educational IT products for 2011 and 2012. The acknowledgement is given to products that support exceptional educational innovation.
About Tools4ever
Tools4ever distinguishes itself with a no-nonsense approach and a low total cost of ownership. In contrast to comparable identity and access management solutions, Tools4ever implements a complete solution in several days rather than weeks or months. Because of this approach, Tools4ever is the undisputed identity and access management market leader with more than five million managed users. Tools4ever supplies a variety of software products and integrated consultancy services involving identity management, such as user provisioning, RBAC, password management, SSO and access management.

There's an oddity that many good programmers seem to have. Beards. It's a facial feature that many people seem to see as something that 'comes with the territory' of being a programmer. Unshaven, smelly, obese, these would all be things that would pop up in people's minds when they think about programmers, or even computer experts in general.
I've found this thought fascinating because I know a lot of programmers without beards whose hygiene is excellent. But then again, there are some famous examples like Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson who still have huge beards. Why? I started asking myself this. Is it so people can measure your skill by measuring the length of the hairs? Is it just fashionable?
So I decided to find out myself and began growing my beard to be infiltrate into the psyche of these fine gentlemen.
First things first: I really CAN NOT grow a beard. It does gets all patchy and rough but it just looks like I forgot to shave certain parts of my face. Bummer.
However, looking as ridiculous as I did with my half beard, I came to an exciting insight. Because what I did for myself was set these 'beard-lines' (just roll with it) for when I had to finish a certain part of my project. Let's say that I was working on some big feature in a project. I would tell myself that I would not be able to shave until I'd finished this work. This has helped me more than I'd expected. The biggest boost I got was thanks to social control. Because when I was unshaven someone would inevitably make a remark about it. This in turn gave me an extra boost to hurry up my project so that I could shave myself once again.
My time among the bearded people was a short-lived one but it gave me a new way of pushing myself that extra bit, which is great. Who knows, maybe one day I will be able to grow a full beard and unlock the full potential of it, but until then I'll have to stick to my trusted patch of fur.

Reading the Koran on Christmas
This past Christmas, I was surprised to find my thoughts turning to the Qur'an.
That connection may sound strange -- Islam and Christmas? -- but it makes a lot more sense when we recall just how thoroughly soaked in Christian thought was the world in which early Islam emerged. Older memories survive vividly in the quite substantial accounts that the Qur'an gives of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.
The third Sura of that work, titled Imran, describes Mary's origins, giving her a miracle-laden back-story that sounds strange to modern Christian ears. Her mother prays for a child, and delivers a girl, who is promised to God. Mary is raised in the sanctuary of the Temple, under the guardianship of the priest Zechariah, who will later become father to John the Baptist. Mary receives her food miraculously, through the power of angels. We later hear of Jesus's childhood miracles, including giving life to toy birds that he has formed out of clay.
Not a word of this would have startled Christians at the time of Muhammad, around 620, as they would immediately have recognized these stories from apocryphal gospels that circulated very widely -- Mary's childhood is described at length in the Protevangelium, or Infancy Gospel of James. The clay birds stem from another apocryphal work, and the story was a favorite in medieval European church art.
Some modern scholars go much further in tracing Christian sources or parallels. European linguist Christoph Luxenberg suggests that many parts of the Qur'an are actually drawn from older Syriac Christian texts, a lectionary or collection of readings for the church calendar. Although loosely translated into Arabic, they are disguised so lightly that the originals can be reconstructed easily enough. Such readings would have been called qeryana, a close parallel to the word Qur'an.
One of Luxenberg's most sensational examples concerned the lovely white raisins that featured so prominently in Syriac Christian accounts of Heaven. The word for "raisins" is very close to the Qur'anic word that we translate virgins, suggesting that in the afterlife, faithful believers would actually receive their reward in the form of white raisins rather than young girls.
This whole theory is fiercely controversial, and raises real concerns about a backlash from Muslim fundamentalists, who denounce it as blasphemous mockery. "Luxenberg" is a pseudonym, and we still don't know the author's true identity. Apart from Muslim extremists though, many secular linguistic scholars also have real doubts about Luxenberg's whole theory.
But one example of potential influence does seem really convincing, and it does not depend on Luxenberg alone. The short Sura 97, al-Qadr, describes the miraculous Night of Power or Destiny. According to Muslim tradition, this was the great night on which the Qur'an itself was revealed from Heaven, a cherished event in the Islamic story, and one that is much celebrated today. Here is the whole text:
We have indeed revealed this Message in the Night of Power:
And what will make you understand what the Night of Power is?
The Night of Power is better than a thousand Months.
The angels and spirits descend in hosts that night, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees [or on every errand?].
Peace!... until the rise of dawn!
In other words, this is the night when God's unique gift descends from heaven. It is a night of Peace, while angels watch. In Islamic tradition, the "spirit" is Gabriel, the angel who proclaimed the future births of both John the Baptist and Jesus. It is a silent night, a holy night.
Need I make the obvious point? Since the 1930s, Western scholars have pointed out how much this sounds like a Christmas reading, perhaps a hymn. Are we reading too much to see here a lightly adapted Christmas hymn, that was perhaps sung in a Syrian or Iraqi church around the year 600?
If it is not actually borrowed, than at least this example suggests how many old friends still await Christians who open the Qur'an for the first time.

Vitamin D: What is it and where do you get it? (and why you should bother)
Sounds gross. Smells gross. Tastes gross. So why take it? Well, back then they didn't realize what it was about cod liver oil (CLO) that was so beneficial but as it turned out, it is an excellent source of Vitamin D.
Current medical research has been finding that most of us are deficient in at least the few types of Vitamin D that they can test for. And that lack of vitamin D can affect not only our bones, but our muscle strength and immune system. GI (gut) function too. It is especially important in older adults. The research community has found that with adequate levels of vitamin D, our elders fall less and have less risk of fractures. This improves their quality of life as well as life expectancy. Did you know that if someone over the age of 65 falls and breaks their hip or another large bone, that their risk of dying in the following year goes up significantly? Vitamin D is one piece of the puzzle , but it is a significant one.
The newest form of vitamin D supplement that I have read about is fermented CLO. Doesn't that sound so much more appetizing? The makers, Green Pasture are claiming that it is more "bioavailable" and thus superior to regular CLO. Green Pasture is also the only company making this product in the US currently. Their belief is that fermenting is the traditional production method of CLO and based on the research of Weston A Price, the more traditional foods and methods of preparation, are the most nutritious and can provide a whole host of health benefits.
Recently, I have been doing some reading about Weston A Price and have been converting many of our food sources and preparation methods to more traditional, whole foods. I believe it is common sense that the manufactured foods of our modern times are simply artificial chemicals that are crafted into something that tastes good by means of toxic chemical that cause us to become addicted to these foods. No amount of synthetic vitamins or fiber will ever make these foods consumable. But, that has nothing to do with Vitamin D!
What I am concerned with is that once you begin your journey into whole foods, just how far do you go? What is reasonable and what is just ridiculous? I beleive that vitamin D supplementation is necessary for most of us who do not get enough sunlight and whose dietary sources may be lacking as well. Vitamin D production by the body will be maximized by getting 15-20 minutes of exposure to the sun (with arms and legs uncovered and without sunscreen) daily. Food sources of vitamin D include salt water fatty fish and pastured eggs. And then there are supplements such as CLO and synthetic vitamins.
Personally, I would always try the whole food source first. I know I don't get enough sun exposure and certainly won't at least until next summer. We do eat eggs from our hens who free range in the yard and should be producing eggs with high levels of vitamin D but I have no way of verifying this. We don't eat enough fish to get adequate levels either. So we're kind of left with supplements.
I've taken fish oil supplements before. Some of them have given me "fish burps" and others haven't. My chiropractor sells one that smells like vanilla and doesn't give the burps. I have no idea of the brand at the moment as I don't have any on hand to look at the bottle. I can find out, though if you're dying to know. I have not, however, specifically taken CLO. And honestly, it doesn't sound all that great. But knowing the benefits of vitamin D and that synthetic vitamins are not always assimilated the way that real food products are, I think I will be trying this.
Do I expect miracles? Nope. But if it can keep the winter blues away, help support my immune system through flu season, keep my nervous and muscular systems in tip top shape, then I'm all for it! Apparently there is also some talk of fertility benefits. You see, vitamin D is technically a hormone and it helps produce sex hormones. It is also fat soluble, meaning that it builds up in the body. Taking too much can be toxic. In comparison, vitamin C is water soluble and if you take too much, generally your kidneys filter it out and you get really pretty pee!
I think there needs to be a balance in what we recommend for supplementation. As a nurse practitioner dealing with the elderly, I have prescribed D3 supplements as these are assumed to be absorbed more efficiently by the body that other synthetic forms. Elderly patients tend to get less sunlight and have poorer diets. Many of them are on fixed incomes and cannot afford expensive supplements. If you do not have a diagnosed deficiency, then taking 400 - 1000 units daily is recommended. Higher amounts can be prescribed if needed for those with deficiencies. The issue of vitamin D deficiency is important enough the the Veteran's Administration tests all of it's patients regularly and it was probably the most common supplement I prescribed when I worked there! Testing is not cheap so this was quite significant to me.
There is a place for both. In the case of true deficiency (your health care provider can do a blood test), prescription strength supplements are necessary. If you are generally healthy and get some sun exposure as well as at least occasional dietary sources, I would stick with the recommended supplement strengths. More is not always better. And this is especially true of vitamin supplements. Food is your BEST source of all nutrients because of all of the unknown factors that help with absorption and assimilation. Supplements should be used when diet and sun exposure are not optimal. And if you can't stomach CLO or fermented CLO, then a synthetic vitamin D3 analog will be better than nothing.
Good luck! I may consider joining the polar bear club so I can get some winter sun exposure!
Have a healthy winter!
Lizabeth-your friendly neighborhood family nurse practitioner!
p.s.- the usual statement-always tell your health care provider about any supplements that you are taking or considering taking. They can interfere with other medications or conditions you may have. This is not intended as personal medical advice.
p.p.s. -no, I don't get any benefit from you clicking through to another site and purchasing products from them. I wish!

Excellent info, Lizabeth! I bookmarked it!ReplyDelete
My hubby's doc actually did tell him to take some Vit D b/c of his Crohn's, so now he knows he actually has to take the FCLO, for real. Ha! ;) Katie
I added myself to follow your blog. You are more than welcome to visit mine and become a follower if you want to.ReplyDelete
God Bless You :-)
Great info! My chiro sells the Fermented CLO at her office. I've been taking Nordic Naturals for years, and haven't yet tried the fermented stuff.ReplyDelete
Here in Washington State, we are discovering that the majority of the population here is severely deficient in Vit. D. Our lack of sunlight, and lack of traditional foods makes for a bad combination! Add to that the excessive amounts of coffee (to give us energy), and we are like the slugs so prevelent here - slowly sliding our way through our days.
