KAMLOOPS - Hateful language, violence, bullying, micro-aggression, and discrimination are a reality in the lives of some Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, and others who identify their sexuality or gender alternatively. Kamloops is not immune.
"In a small city like Kamloops which tends to reflect conservative values, there are unfortunately some negative stereotypes held about LGBTQ people; these can be expressed in a number of ways, including making derogatory slurs and homophobic insults, bullying and discriminating against LGBTQ people in schools, the workplace and the public space," Kamloops Pride president Luara Hsu says.
The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia & Biphobia (IDAHO) is a world-wide celebration of gender and sexual diversities.
In response, on Tuesday, May 17, a moving public witness event and candlelight vigil will be held in Kamloops.
"One of the best ways we thought of countering the impact of homophobic behaviours is to allow those who experience it to tell their stories, and to be heard by caring peers and allies in a safe environment," Hsu says. "We hope to see many people attend the event at the Art We Are, and walking in the candlelight vigil."
This event is meant to be an empathetic response rather than an overtly political one. Any person who rejects prejudice and violence against others can meaningfully express their convictions by participating in the Kamlooops IDAHO event, thereby showing solidarity and resistance to homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia.
The Kamloops IDAHO event begins at The Art We Are at 246 Victoria St., Kamloops at 7:00 p.m. with a time for sharing and witnessing personal stories, followed by a candlelight vigil and march to City Hall at 8:45 p.m.
For information, please contact Laura Hsu at email@example.com, go to the Day Against Homophobia website or the Kamloops Pride Facebook page.

A Family Dollar store is slated to open this fall as an anchor tenant in Cold Spring Shopping Center in Baltimore, the chain announced.
Family Dollar Stores Inc. signed a lease for nearly 9,000 square feet in the center at Cold Spring Lane and Loch Raven Boulevard, owned by Schwaber Holdings.
The Matthews, N.C.-based chain is being acquired by Dollar Tree Inc. in an $8.5 billion merger announced last week that would create North America's biggest dollar store chain.
Family Dollar sells mostly lower-margin consumables such as food and household products priced between $1 to $5 and targets urban shoppers in lower-income neighborhoods. It has 26 stores in Baltimore City and about 16 others in the region. It has 8,100 stores nationwide.
Dollar Tree, which runs mostly suburban stores and sells a mix of consumables as well as items such as gifts, party goods and greeting cards for $1 or less, has about 55 stores in the Baltimore area. Most are scattered throughout Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Harford and Howard counties, with only about a half-dozen in Baltimore City.Brad Rogers, Family Dollar's senior vice president of real estate, called the Cold Spring Shopping Center "a great location for us.
"Family Dollar is proud to offer everyday values and shopping convenience to new customers in Baltimore City," Rogers said in the company's announcement.
Schwaber Holdings said it plans to renovate the 21,000-square-foot Cold Spring center with a new facade and storefronts, repairs to the parking lot, sidewalks and parts of the roof and upgrades to signage, lighting and landscaping.
Adding Family Dollar will help expand the shopping center's customer base, said Mark Renbaum, CEO of Pikesville-based Schwaber Holdings.
"Family Dollar is widely known for its excellent brand, loyal customer base and ability to deliver necessity retail items" Renbaum said in the company's announcement.

A Federal High Court, Lagos, will on September 30, rule on an objection raised by the Anosike Brothers – Noel and Fidelis over Daily Times of Nigeria properties.
They were charged by the Federal Government with advance fee fraud and fraudulent conversion of DTN properties.
The court was to deliver ruling on the objections against the charge on Thursday, but the presiding judge, Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke told parties that the ruling was not ready.
The brothers have not been arraigned because of the pending preliminary objection challenging the service of the charge on them.
The Federal Government, in the five-count charge, said the defendants fraudulently obtained the total sum of N325 million and fraudulently converted the proceeds realised from sale of assets belonging to DTN.
On May 7, their lawyer, Mr. Norrison Quakers (SAN) said the court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the criminal charge.
He said he had two applications dated November 19, 2012 and February 13 to back his claim.
Citing section 215 of the Criminal Procedure Act and other legal authorities, Quakers said it was an anomaly for an accused person to be arraigned on a charge not properly served.
Prosecution counsel, Mr. Ernest Ezebilo, argued that the charge had been duly served on the defendants.
He maintained that the proof of service was exhibited in the court's file.

Classroom Democracy
A version of this post was published on Liberal Conspiracy.
A combative response to this piece can be found at Scenes from the Battleground.
Imagine a system whose entire purpose is to serve a group of people. Imagine that this same system excludes that group of people from holding any power. Such is the relationship between the British Education System and its students.
No school in the UK has any obligation to listen to its students. The representative bodies which exist are rarely more than symbolic. A very small number of students are allowed to express their feelings on the running of the school but there is no process for using their feedback. The purpose is primarily to reward these students' good performance with an honorary title (prefect, monitor etc.) and give them extra material for university applications. Student power is not the aim.
It is inconceivable that any other public service or business would entirely ignore the views of their key stakeholders. This failure to listen is to waste countless opportunities to improve. It is also entirely at odds with the way our society has come to recognize and respect the rights of children. Michael Gove talks about enabling children to be "the authors of their own life story." For that to be the case, they need a degree of influence over the place where that story begins.
Students should have the chance to feedback on the teaching they receive. While they may not have an in-depth understanding of pedagogy, they have a knowledge that no expert has; they know what works for them. At the end of each week, students could rate the activities that they had undertaken in class. Teachers would then be able to look through the responses and get a clear idea of the actual experience of those they teach. Some students would not take the process seriously or might base ratings on their personal opinions of that teacher rather than the merits of the activities. Yet the vast majority would respect this opportunity to have a say. Some teachers would be sceptical but most would find the information fascinating and useful.
Students should have input into what they study. Clearly there are core skills which students need to acquire, whether they wish to or not. Yet they could decide on how they gained these skills. In English, why not give students a vote on the texts that they are to study? Give them a brief introduction to each and then allow them to make the choice. In History, students could select the period they study. The fact that they made the decision is likely to boost their engagement with the subject.
Students should contribute to the code of discipline that they have to abide by. To many this notion seems irresponsible. Surely, if given the opportunity, students would seek to dismantle the rules that restrict them? It is well-established, however, that most students are content in a calm and well-structured environment. They dislike chaos and recognize that a clear system of well-enforced rules is the best way to achieve this. Students also have a very well-developed sense of fairness; even well-behaved students respond very badly to perceived injustice. By opening up a dialogue, school authorities would be able to gain an understanding about what is seen as unfair and then judge these concerns. More than anything else, it is inconsistency that undermines discipline. When one teacher enforces a rule and another doesn't, students are left confused and frustrated. Listening to students would give a precise picture of the consistency with which rules were being applied.
Such a transferral of power would improve the service that schools provide. As significantly, school would cease to be only a place students attend and become an institution that they own.

Doo Wop Dinner Show
Laughlin Entertainer)
On Friday-Sunday, February 28-March 2, the Edgewater E Center will be the site of a nostalgic evening in two ways. There will be a show each night featuring the early R&B sounds of groups with direct lineage to three of the major recording groups in the genre in the 50s-early 60s. Adding to the turn-back-the-clock element of each show will be a sit down dinner before the show starts included in the admission price. This harkens back to the dinner show format that helped define Nevada casinos and is all but lost in todays scene.
The evenings are billed as a Doo Wop Dinner Show featuring the music of The Original Cornell Gunters Coasters; The Legendary Monroe Powell & The Platters Revue; and Bobby Hendricks Drifters.
The dinner menu includes herb roasted airline chicken breast with tomatoes, artichokes and white wine lemon sauce over Yukon Gold mashed potatoes with glazed carrots. It comes with Romaine wedge salad and banana graham cracker fudge cake.
The music .
If youve noticed, each of the groups in this show have long, extended names. They arent The Drifters, Coasters and Platters but rather those names with addendums. This is because none of the original members of these groups are out there singing the songs anymore. It is up to groups that can claim some lineage to the original group to carry on the R&B music (and not simply doo wop) that made the originals inductees into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Various spin-off groups are jostling for position to lay claim to the famous names, and at times, it isnt a pretty scene. Too many lawyers and not enough music. The groups in the Edgewater show have all fought the battles to retain their names and credibility and have direct ties to the origianl groups.
With that, here is more on each group
Monroe Powell replaced Sonny Turner as lead singer of The Platters in 1970, becoming the third lead in the groups history. He was hand-picked by Platters founder and manager Buck Ram. He carries on the Platter tradition with Don Gloude, Kenny J. and Inez Zak.
The Platters string of hits included Only You, The Great Pretender, My Prayer, Twilight Time and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.
The following is from an interview with Monroe Powell via phone last week .
Personal history
Powell: Buck Ram, who wrote all of the Platters songs, hired me in 1970. I joined the group The Dominos in 1958. We came all the way from New York to Reno and from there to Las Vegas at the old Dunes Hotel. It was Billy Ward and The Dominos. Then I was with the Ink Spots at the old Hacienda in 1970 when Herb Reed saw me. Sonny Turner resigned as lead singer of the Platters in 1969 and I took his place. Ive been here ever since.
The audience..
Powell: Our demographic has a lot to do with it (our continued bookings). People our age still love the old stuff and I dont blame them. I think they like that the music has simple melodic lines. They know that when that goes away, music goes away.
The name game
Powell: Its an ongoing thing. Were still fighting that, but you know, I think were going to come out OK on the end. Guys who are trying to take the name were not even born when the music came out. They say they deserve to be The Plattersno way. These are people behind the scenes and shouldnt have anything to do with a group when they werent even alive when the music was out.
Ive been in the group 40-something years and they want to horn in. I was lucky to have been around back then and to have been a part of the group. All the original Platters have died. Herb Reed was the last one and he died two years ago.
Todays music the bad
Powell: I think good music will always outlast the bad stuff. I was watching a basketball game on TV and I watched the half-time show. It was horrible. It was beyond belief.
Todays music the good
Powell: As bad as some musicians are today, they make sure they get their money. Its not like the old days when black singers were ripped off so many times. It was the managers who made all the money. I hope the young guys who make sure they get their money have sense enough to keep it.
Doo wop show format
Powell: Everybody sings together on the finale but each group does their own segment. We still do the choreographythe little stuff with my old legs. Its a classy show.
The Coasters were the masters of the novelty song. With hits like Charlie Brown, Poison Ivy, Yakety Yak, Little Egypt, and many more, they became the first vocal group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
Cornell Gunter was a member of the The Coasters from 1958 to 1961, after which he spun off his own Coasters group. He tapped Charlie Duncan as a member in 1962. Today, Duncan, Lionel Z Pope and Ramon Scruggs continue the Coaster tradition.
The following is from an interview with Charlie Duncan via phone last week .
The music
Duncan: All these songs relate to everybody. We did a show last Friday and we had a group contest with people singing Charlie Brown. There was a little girl there, 11 or 12, who new every word to Yakety Yak so we had her on stage and people went nuts. She pronounced it lakety lak. Its amazing how many generations know the songsunlike a lot of music today, where after a year, no one can remember the words.
The name game .
Duncan: John Bowser (of Sha Na Na fame) and I are working together to stop bogus groups. They cant perform as originals without one member in the group, otherwise, they have to say tribute. I just stopped a group in Texas. They seem to think a night here and a night there doesnt hurt anyone, but it does. It deceives the public.
It makes it bad on me because we ask for one price and these other groups cut their price in half. So then venues sometimes think well do it for half ..and thats not going to happen. Ive been doing this too long. Were a top notch group.
The book
Duncan: I have a book that comes out at the end of the month called The Legend and the Life of Cornell Gunter of The Coasters as told by Charlie Duncan. Im hoping to have some copies to bring to Laughlin. Its about the trials and tribulations of the time long, long ago, back in the day.
The CD
Duncan: We have a CD coming out called Super Singles with six original songs on it. I just did a theme song to a new reality show called, Living it up. Some of the other songs are Hollyweird, Worlds of Love, What Happens in Vegas Gets Emailed Home, and ID Theft. I also just recorded a country song by George Strait, called The Chair.
Is there an R&B scene these days? Does it have a future?
Duncan: No and no. There isnt anyone out there doing it. Theres hip hop and rap. Maybe theres Bruno Mars, but thats it. And to me all the songs sound the same.
Rough road .
Duncan: One time when I went to get the check, the club owner told me he gave it to the manager and that he was already gone. It used to happen to black groups a lot.
We were in a place outside of Pittsburgh for a two night stand and an agent came up to me and said they cancelled one of the shows and an agent said we werent getting paid for the cancelled show. I went to the owner and he said the agent lied and that he paid him for that show already. I had to go crazy just to get my money. I had 15 people I had to pay. Situations like that only make me stronger.
The show
Duncan: These guys Im with always give me a good show. These guys are my brothers so nothing can go wrong. And we always work well with the other groups we perform with .Monroe Powellyou cant find anyone any better and the same with Bobby Hendricks.
The Drifters enjoyed some of the biggest hits of all these groups with songs still resonating todaysongs like On Broadway, Under the Boardwalk, and Up on the Roof.
In 1957, Bobby Hendricks group, The Five Crowns, were the opening act for the Drifters. The Drifters were so impressed with his tenor voice and Clyde McPhatter style that they offered him the position of lead vocalist replacing Johnny Moore. He left the Drifters in 1959, and a year later, he joined Bill Pinkney and The Original Drifters where he toured for 17 years.
The following is from an interview with Bobby Hendricks via phone last week .
Keeping on keeping on
Hendricks: Ive been doing this for years, and every moment I enjoy it. I pray I can do it the next day and the next day. I want to get on that stage and make people happy.
I also like to do shows at childrens hospitals. Seeing those kids always brings tears to my eyes. I do it because God has been so good to me that if I share what I love doing, that lets them know I care.
A wish
Hendricks: Id like to do new music thats about caring for one anothernot just about girlfriends and boyfriendsbut all of us. If I can come up with the words about all Gods children, thats what Id like to do.
Dick Clark
Hendricks: Dick Clark was a good friend and he helped me get my music out. In a song I wrote, called Itchy Twitchy Feeling, there was a line in there about being on Dick Clarks show. Dick was one of the nicest men I ever met. He accepted everyone, respecting them because of their musical talents. He was a wonderful, beautiful man.
The audience
Hendricks: The older people come out to hear the music they lived on, listened to, and danced toand we enjoy that. We get the younger generation to laugh when they see how much their parents loved the music. You see them hugging their mamas. They see why their parents are the way they are and how the music was part of their lives and it was the music, in many cases, that created them, made them children.
Talk about being inducted into the Doo Wop Hall of Fame
Hendricks: Thank you for asking. I never expected those things, but as Ive gotten older, I realized how much value there is in them.
Is there an R&B scene these days? Does it have a future?
Hendricks: Theres Bruno Mars. That young man is out of this world. He was raised by his four sisters who would tell him that his singing was just making noise. But then he became so successful that hes got his sisters together singing.
If you have talent, you have to get it out and let the world know. Make people happy, thats the whole idea.

After a rare January surplus, the U.S. Treasury deficit clocked in at $203.5 billion for February, according to a Treasury Department report (link opens in PDF) released today. February is traditionally a month of low receipts, and this newest data slightly exceeded analyst expectations.
For FY 2013, the current deficit is $494.0 billion, a whopping 15% less than the same period in FY 2012. The improvement comes mainly from a 13.1% jump in receipts, overshadowing a slight 2.1% spending increase.
Reduced defense spending and lower debt payments have helped keep costs low for this fiscal year. At the government's current spending rate, debt interest accounts for $16.9 billion in interest payments per month, or 5% of total outlays.

Throughout history, people have struggled with addiction – to alcohol, drugs and compulsive behaviors, such as gambling. Now, as Rose Hoban reports, psychologists in many countries have noted the emergence of a new kind of obsession: Internet addiction.
Psychologist Louise Nadeau heads a new institute for the study of dependencies at the University of Montreal in Canada. She says addiction is marked by two phenomena.
The first is that a person has a behavior he or she can't control. "You would want to drink less, but you drink much more than you want," Nadeau suggests. "You would like to gamble less… in spite of the fact that it doesn't necessarily give you the pleasure it should, or you feel bad about that."
The other key is that the behavior causes a series of problems in many spheres of your life. "You're having problems with your work, you're having problems with your social network, you're having problems also with your mental health," Nadeau explains.
To study Internet addiction, Nadeau asked mental health clinics in her province of Quebec to report on cases of Internet addiction they had seen. She says that over a several year period, some dramatic cases emerged.
"What we're dealing with here are people who stop eating, who don't sleep, who work until the early hours of the day, have a complete unbalanced schedule and that goes on, and on, and on for months," Nadeau reports. Many of the people suffering from Internet addiction had other problems – either psychological, or with their families.
Nadeau says this new addiction is difficult to treat. She recounts how psychologists worked with a young man who spent two years in his room playing games on his computer. "When he emerged to go to the treatment center he literally had been out of the world for two years," she says. "So in fact, it was slowly working on a process of A, reintroducing him to real life, and B, trying to find alternative activities to being on the screen."
She tells the story of another man who was finally induced to go on vacation after being treated for several months. But when he got to the airport, he got online in the airport's Internet café. He spent the next two weeks at the airport and never went on his vacation.
says there's no standard of treatment for Internet addiction. But over the next
few years, she will be gathering information and ideas from therapists all
around Quebec. She says her goal is to create treatment guidelines and examples
of best practices that other psychologists can follow to treat people with this

Included in the resurfacing of southbound U.S. 61 between Bowling Green and Lincoln County Route E is the construction of a new right turn lane at Route Z, just south of Eolia. On Monday, October 30, at around 8:45 a.m., Route Z will close at U.S. 61 so the contractor can begin constructing the right turn lane. "We expect the turn lane to be completed and open to traffic within a week," said Missouri Department of Transportation Resident Engineer Rick Domzalski. "There will be no direct access to Route Z from U.S. 61 during this time, but there are several local roads in the area to provide alternate access from the north and south," he added.
The resurfacing is expected to be completed by the end of November. For information about this project or other road work, go to www.modot.org.

[Bill Ackerman - For Shaw Media]Henderson, Downers Grove North's 6-foot-1 junior guard, might have given away seven inches guarding 6-8 Libertyville star Drew Peterson, but he wanted to check him. No surprise there. "Semaj in his own mind can beat [Boston Celtics guard] Kyrie Irving right now," joked Trojans coach Jim Thomas said. "That's why we love the guy." [Bill Ackerman - For Shaw Media]Henderson didn't defend Peterson. Downers Grove North did, though, bring him down to size. Scott Jakobsze led a defensive effort that held Libertyville's senior to one of his worst high school games, six points total. Henderson starred with 23 points, and the Trojans notched their biggest win of the season, 58-49 at Downers Grove North's Winter Classic. "We knew we had two Top 25 teams coming up this week," said Henderson, referring to Libertyville and Oak Park. "We wanted to pop at least one of them." Trey Boston added nine points, Jakobsze had eight points and eight rebounds and Keenan Davis seven points and seven rebounds for Downers Grove North (9-6). [Bill Ackerman - For Shaw Media]The Trojans came in losers of three straight. It's a stretch, though, that probably steeled a junior-heavy group in the long run. Downers Grove North lost to Young and Bogan to end the Proviso West Holiday Tournament, then to Oak Park Wednesday. "I think every game we were in the game into the second half," Henderson said. "A lot of games we let go, but it's a learning experience." It helps to be whole, which Downers Grove North was close to Saturday for just the second time this year. Davis missed the first 5-6 games with a torn MCL. When he returned, Jakobsze went out with a back injury. Without him the Trojans were hammered on the boards in losses to Glenbard West and Proviso West. Davis, it seemed, came down with all kinds of big rebounds late. [Bill Ackerman - For Shaw Media]"That's the most important thing late in games, is to finish off possessions," Davis said. "That's the Keenan we know, gobbling up rebounds," Thomas added. Libertyville's Peterson is perhaps Illinois' top uncommitted senior. He landed his latest offer Friday, from UC-Santa Barbara. Illinois and Wisconsin have shown interest. He was strikingly quiet Saturday, though. Jakobsze guarded him most of the game, and Peterson was just 2-for-15 from the field. His teammates made up for it with six 3-pointers in the first half, staking Libertyville (10-6) to a 25-24 halftime lead. Peterson never did get going, though. "We basically had to face-guard him," said Jakobsze, a 6-5 junior. "He takes a lot of pull up shots and he's patient. You just have to stay low, stay in stance, don't let him get by you." The six-point total shocked everyone, Trojans included. "I was like, six points?" Davis said. "This guy's a Big Ten player." [Bill Ackerman - For Shaw Media]Henderson himself holds offers from Northern Illinois and Western Illinois, and showed why Saturday. He missed both shot attempts in the first quarter, but didn't force it. He heated up in the second quarter, with 10 points, and hit two big 3-pointers in the teeth of the fourth quarter. The second gave the Trojans a 47-43 lead, sparking a decisive 10-2 run. Henderson also was 7-for-8 from the free-throw line. Downers Grove North, as a team, was 16-for-18 in the fourth quarter. Thomas said Henderson's unique talents make him tough to coach, but he's a sponge. Henderson loads hours of film onto Hudl to hone his craft. "When he's making good decisions like he did tonight we're like a point per possession," Thomas said. "I've never had a kid like him. He's so crafty with the ball. Nobody can keep him in front of them. He keeps getting better."

Mac Linux USB Loader
Boot Linux® on your Mac and certain PCs, easily.
For macOS 10.8+ (view system requirements)
For macOS 10.8+ (view system requirements)
Mac Linux USB Loader allows you to create bootable live USB drives for Ubuntu and other Linux® distributions without burning a CD. It is similar to other tools like unetbootin, but unlike those tools, bootable USB drives created with Mac Linux USB Loader can be booted on your Mac, and they also work on certain PCs as well.
The tool is necessary to make Linux® distributions boot that do not have EFI booting support. Many distributions started adding this with the release of Windows 8, but it has not been finalized and is still nonstandard by most distributions. Many common distributions are supported, like Ubuntu and Linux Mint.Tweet
Mac Linux USB Loader is the only application that allows you to take an ISO disc image file of a Linux® distribution and make it boot on your Mac using EFI. It is open-source, and supports most of the major Linux® distributions in use today — including Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Kali Linux, and more!
Mac Linux USB Loader is powered by Enterprise, a custom boot manager designed to make it easier to boot Linux® on your PC or Mac. The program automatically installs Enterprise on your USB storage or external hard drive alongside your chosen Linux® distribution. No other software out there can do what Mac Linux USB Loader does — it has been the undisputed champion since 2012! Tweet
I manually created quite a few drives only to find they didn't work. I'm very thankful I eventually found Mac Linux USB Loader, because it removes a lot of the guesswork from the process. Hopefully every Mac user wanting to boot Linux from USB will find this software. — Justin Pot, MakeUseOf
If you have followed our guide to install Ubuntu on Macbook Air, you will know that creating a Linux live CD/USB that can run in Mac is a troublesome chore. You need to find the Mac-compatible version of the ISO file, convert it to img file and lastly dump it into the USB drive. Mac-Linux USB Loader is one simple tool that can get all these things done without all the hassle. — Damien Oh, Make Tech Easier
I'm just introducing myself to Linux and coding and I'm really grateful for a thriving community with great programs to help people get started. Thanks for making the Mac Linux USB Loader and opening the door for me (not to mention providing an extended life for my macbook with a dead dvd drive). I hope to be contributing to open projects like this myself some day soon. — Anonymous
Mac Linux USB Loader costs $4.99 to download and is bought through PayPal. The download is secure and is delivered to your email when payment is complete. Mac Linux USB Loader is open-source and compiled binaries cost money in order to offset the effort required to maintain the tool.

Rauner spikes medical marijuana expansion
By Mark Fitton
Illinois News Network
SPRINGFIELD — Gov. Bruce Rauner's administration this week rejected efforts to expand by 11 the list of conditions for which marijuana can be prescribed in Illinois.
The move came in two parts, both announced Thursday.
The Illinois Department of Public Health said it would not add the conditions recommended by an advisory panel established under Gov. Pat Quinn.
The department made the announcement by saying only that its director, Dr. Nirav Shah, had made the decision and the pilot program would continue with the 39 conditions and diseases already authorized.
The Medical Cannabis Advisory Board had recommended these conditions be added: anorexia nervosa; chronic postoperative pain; Ehlers-Danlos syndrome; irritable bowel syndrome; migraine headaches; neuro-Behcet's autoimmune disease; peripheral and diabetic neuropathy; osteoarthritis; polycystic kidney disease; post-traumatic stress disorder; and superior canal dehiscence syndrome.
Rauner, R-Winnetka, also vetoed Senate Bill 33, which tried to add post-traumatic stress disorder to the program by way of legislation.
Rauner said adding additional conditions or diseases, at least for now, is premature.
"The pilot program is moving forward, but remains in its early stage," the governor wrote in his veto message.
"Cultivation centers are just beginning to grow their crops, and the first dispensary was licensed at the end of August. No patients have yet been served, and, consequently, the state has not had the opportunity to evaluate the benefits and costs of the pilot program or determine areas for improvement or even whether to extend the program beyond its pilot period," Rauner wrote
So far, about 3,000 Illinoisans will be eligible for prescribed marijuana when it becomes available, possibly late this year.
Last month, Rauner used his amendatory veto powers to deny an extension of the pilot program from January of 2018 to four years from the opening of the first dispensary.
In his veto message of House Bill 3299, he instead suggested a four-month extension, saying that would cover delays in the program's startup.
The Rauner administration and the principal proponent of the pilot program, Democratic Rep. Lou Lang of Skokie, are still discussing a possible middle ground.
Spending bill vetoed
Rauner last week also vetoed Senate Bill 2040, a Democrat-backed "essential services" or stopgap funding measure.
Democrats had said the bill authorized about $2.3 billion in spending and focused on public safety providers and life-giving services for the state's most vulnerable citizens. They argued it did not send the state on a path of overspending in fiscal year 2016.
Rauner disagreed, saying the state must rein in spending and avoid piecemeal budgeting.
He said the measure "would have continued these bad practices for another month. Instead, we need a full year, balanced budget that makes only the promises we can afford to keep."
The veto was largely procedural, as the measure was designed to cover July expenses.
Rauner and legislative Democrats remain locked in a budget impasse with the state now more than 70 days into fiscal year 2016.
Pension appeal dies
Attorney General Lisa Madigan, D-Chicago, announced her office would not appeal the Illinois Supreme Court's decision that tossed out the state's 2013 Pension Reform Act.
Madigan's office had asked for and received a filing extension with the U.S. Supreme Court. That extension put the new deadline to file on Friday, Sept. 10.
Madigan spokeswoman Eileen Boyce this week said the attorney general's office had carefully considered its options and decided against filing.
"After completing our analysis, we have decided not to ask the Court to review the case," she said.
The Illinois Supreme Court in May struck down as unconstitutional the Legislature's attempt to rein in Illinois state pension costs. Among other things, the act would have reduced annual increases in retiree benefits, raised the retirement age for younger government workers and capped salary amounts for pension purposes.
The court ruled the act would have have diminished or impaired the benefits of the contractual relationship between the state and its employees in violation of the pension protection clause of the Illinois Constitution of 1970.

No polar bears!
Something different this time - photography!
Outside of WoW, there is this game called Real Life. You are always playing it and you can only LOSE the game. That doesn't mean that there isn't any loot! In this came, the loot comes in the form of pictures which are taken with this device called camera.
The other day, it was sunshining outside. That means that it's safe to go out since the polar bears are not out there to eat people. The sun makes the bear sparkle, they don't like that at all. Those polar bears come mostly out at night, mostly.
It was safe to go to the frozen lake to hunt pictures without the fear of being eaten by a sparkling polar bear.
So here we go - pictures. They have been slightly Photoshopped: level adjustments, brightness/contrast plus some photo filter. All lens flare is natural in it's unaltered form!

Hello, I'm Ericka Roehrig. Well, I'm new to the blogging world but I have a few stories and dreams I've had with Brianna that I think she would want me to share. So bear with me!
First I would like to share that I went to school with Brianna Berrier . I was only in the seventh grade, so I wasn't in her class and wasn't able to see her every day. However, I saw her in the school hallways and the bathrooms from time to time. Whenever I passed her she would smile and say "hey." I would tell her "hay is for horses", and she would reply back saying; "I know, I love horses!" That girl always put a smile on my face. April 12th, 16th, and 17th were some of the hardest days of my life. They came and really hit home. However, Brianna is now watching over all of her loved ones. She will be showing us all signs of love in many different ways. Much like the Bee Story for example.
(If you haven't read this, the link is here: Bee Story )
Anyways, I haven't had many encounters that were like Matt and Amanda's with the bumblebee. But I have had a few dreams featuring Brianna in them. The first one, I remember, had been after a long day of constantly thinking about her. The dream started in our school's office. I was called down, but none of the office-aides or teachers seemed to know why or remember calling me down. I was about to go back to class just as I saw Brianna sitting to my right, next to the office exit. I immediately started crying and ran over to hug her. She laughed and hugged me back. She told me she missed me and came to visit. She convinced me to leave the school and go run around with her. We somehow managed to sneak outside without being noticed.
We ran out of Douglas Hills and soon ended up somehow being transported into Heaven. When we got there, she led me to a house constructed out of flowers that resembled multiples of ones that were given to her at her Life Celebration. She told me she had built it and began to show me around. When she was finished, she began telling me stories of all the nice people she had met and became friends with. She told me that Jesus was a wonderful brother and is looking out for me. We talked for a little while more before she told me she had to go, and the dream ended.
In another dream, it was summer. Brianna always told me how she had a summer "bucket-list" of things she wanted to happen this summer. So, I was sitting at home and I heard someone knocking on my bedroom door. I went to open it and nobody was there. I turned around and Brianna was on my laptop. She said "Geez, you're always on this thing! Let's go do something else!" I asked her what she wanted to do, and she pulled out her summer bucket-list. She said "Everything on here." It was about seven pages long. I couldn't help but to think she was crazy, but I wanted to spend time with her. We checked off each place we went to, one by one.
We ended up going to Hawaii and swimming with dolphins. We went to the grand canyon, and she complained the whole time about how hot it was. Afterward, she said she still had fun, though. We went sky-diving, and bungee jumping. At one point, I said "Brianna, I never knew you wanted to do things like this." And she said "I did, but was always too scared. That's a good thing about being in Heaven; now I'm not afraid of anything."
The place we visited that I remember most was a huge grocery store called Jungle Jim's, in Indiana. When we got there I had no idea what the point of it was until Brianna grabbed my hand and made me follow her to the back of the store. She said "Okay, we're going to end up in trouble, but we'll still have fun" I just laughed and did what she wanted to. We ended up going to an aisle of the store that held costumes. She put on a monkey costume over her clothes, and handed me a banana costume. We ran around the store singing Christmas carols and knocking every item off the shelves. The dream ended when we got kicked out of the store, and she walked me back home. It was amazing. I love that girl with all my heart.
These are just a few of the past encounters I have had with this angel. I can not wait to have more. I know these dreams were not only part of the grieving process, but Brianna coming to visit. She was/is such a joyous person to be around. So, whether you have seen her or seen signs of her, just remember that she is always watching over us. She is walking with us on our journey's every step of the way. She loves us, and knows everything will be okay in the end. Thank you for reading, I'll post more when I can. Love you Brianna

The Best Way to Store Your Stand Mixer
For a lot of home cooks (and home bakers!), the stand mixer is as important a fixture as, say, the sink or the fridge. It's basically an essential item and it's used almost daily. And many would argue that a stand mixer deserves a place on the countertop for this reason alone — or because they think it just looks good on display.
But what happens when there isn't room for it on the counter? Or you don't actually like how it looks? (Some people are countertop minimalists!) It's a heavy piece of equipment, and the idea of pulling it in and out of the cabinet day after day is often too much handle.
The best solution: A mixer lift!
A mixer lift is exactly what it sounds like — a lift for your mixer (like a car lift that mechanics use, only for your small appliance). It mounts on the inside of a lower cabinet and then (almost) magically pulls out to present you with your mixer when you need it. Get a sturdy one and you can even use the mixer right there on the lift, creating bonus counter space!
Note: You will need to devote an entire cabinet to the lift. Make sure you measure a few times to confirm that the lift (and the mixer!) will fit inside.
Lifts We Love
- Full Height Base Cabinet Heavy Duty Mixer Lift, $82: This spring-loaded system can hold up to 60 pounds and is far sturdier than a lot of other options on the market.
- Appliance Lift with Soft-Close Mechanism, $182: Is the soft-close function worth the extra money? That's a personal preference, but if you have soft-close cabinets (or toilet seat lids!) you know how nice the feature is and you may be willing to pay up for it.
Do you have a mixer lift? What do you like (or not like) about it?

Amica Drives Customer Success with Data
Data is most valuable once it's understood, shared, and acted upon. At Amica Insurance, data sits at the core of the company's customer strategy, driving most marketing and sales decisions.
Yiguang Qiu, marketing officer and director of market research and analytics at Amica, works with the marketing team to drive the company's data-driven, omnichannel marketing and customer strategy. Here, he talks to 1to1 Media about Amica's efforts to leverage its data assets to deliver relevant content to its customers and enrich their experience.
How is your company using data to affect positive change for customers? How would you categorize Amica's view of and treatment of data where the customer experience is concerned?
In recent years, big data became popular and got a lot of attention from many corporations big and small. We are a bit behind in this area, but we've been using data on a small scale in many practical ways for years. Our activities around growth and customer experience are data and metrics-driven and are guided by our mission--to create peace of mind and build enduring relationships.
We have a complete NPS program to measure the customer experience, starting from the day he or she becomes a customer. Customer feedback, whether related to a service request or a claims case, fed into a closed-loop solution, triggering follow-up activities from our service representatives or managers. Procedures are in place to make sure all customer inquiries or concerns are addressed to the customer's satisfaction. We even reach out to the non-buyers to try to figure out why they didn't buy from us, and to see if there are any outstanding concerns that have not been properly addressed. To me, the non-buyers' feedback sometimes is more insightful and important.
In terms of the marketing side of things, every year we collaborate closely with our sales team and senior management to craft a challenging yet realistic growth goal. We don't just scratch our heads and come up with a number. We look at what we did in previous years—which channels were working well and which marketing messages and product offerings resonated with our customers—and then figured out opportunities for the new year. Data insights help make things clear each step of the way.
What kind of data governance do you have in place?
We have a data governance council and data stewards, and they meet regularly to find the best way to leverage data assets to improve our processes and impact both the internal and external customer experience.
Who sits on the data governance council? Do they represent a cross section of the organization?
Mid-level executives from marketing, sales, claims, accounting, legal, and IT sit on the council and data stewards are from all key divisions of the company as well.
What are some of the unique ideas that have sprung from the council?
We spent a lot of time with a roadmap to guide our efforts, and we looked at how data is collected and used. We also just launched the Amica Business Glossary, where we document all the key terms used around the company (e.g., "What is a customer?" and "What is a prospect?"). Then, we push that out to all employees, so if anyone has a question about a specific piece of data, he or she can simply look it up with this tool. More importantly, we have started to document data pain points from various functions of the company, and we are making plans to address them one by one.
How are you pushing out this data?
The icon for the Amica Glossary business application appears in the Windows status bar. Employees can simply click on the icon, and the information pops up.
Are employees incented to act on the data, and are their salaries or bonuses tied to that?
Not really, but at Amica, we do have ways to encourage our employees to do the right thing for our customers and for the company. As you may expect, every year we want to grow our business and also want to make sure we provide excellent customer service. Everyone strives for these. We educate our employees that dirty data will impair our ability to get meaningful business insights, and we may end up making the wrong decisions in marketing investments and customer interactions. This can negatively impact the company's growth and customer experience.
What's the frequency for employees being evaluated?
All employees are expected to document their progress toward their goals periodically in an enterprise-wide evaluation system. Managers and their direct reports meet regularly to discuss their goals and how they're doing. Few should have big surprises during their annual review process.
How do you use data to tell a story?
Data helps us understand our customers and build customer personas. This makes it possible for us to communicate with them and serve them effectively. For planning, data tells a great story. We typically start in September to plan for the following year. Metrics and data insights, along with strategy, determine how much money to spend in each channel, product line and geographic location. For example, if you need to grow 100,000 policies, the data will tell you what kind of response or conversion rate you have been getting from different marketing campaigns, and what you can expect with the anticipated retention rate. From there, you can project out how many marketing activities you will need to hit your goal. Data is involved every step of the way as we work out an operational plan.
How will you grow your data strategy?
Our traditional analytical teams across the enterprise are quite strong. Our marketing analytical professionals work very closely with the rest of the marketing organization to drive a lot of the operations and decision-making. Predictive analytics has been embedded into audience selection and targeting activities, and is moving into sales analytics and fraud detection.
Unfortunately, data silos still exist. We are exploring ways to dedicate efforts to look at our data assets at the enterprise level and extract insights to drive impactful changes and innovation. This type of insight may only exist in cross function data lake, and may not be found within each of the data silos affiliated with individual business functions.
Is this in an effort to improve the Omni channel experience?
Yes. Ultimately, we want to improve the marketing effectiveness, but we always want to improve the customer experience. We work hard to see things through the eyes of our customers. We want to make sure all the channels work together and the experience of our customers is always an exceptional one, regardless of the channel through which he or she decides to interact with us.

Steven Spielberg: A Life in Filmsby Molly Haskell Yale University Press

"Everything about me is in my films," Steven Spielberg has said. Taking this as a key to understanding the hugely successful moviemaker, Molly Haskell explores the full range of Spielberg's works for the light they shine upon the man himself. Through such powerhouse hits as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., Jurassic Park, and Indiana Jones, to less-appreciated movies like Empire of the Sun, to the haunting Schindler's List, Haskell shows how Spielberg's uniquely evocative filmmaking and story-telling reveal the many ways in which his life, work, and times are entwined.
Organizing chapters around specific films, the distinguished critic discusses how Spielberg's childhood in non-Jewish suburbs, his parents' traumatic divorce, his return to Judaism upon his son's birth, and other events echo in his work. She offers a brilliant portrait of the extraordinary director-a small, unhappy boy living through his imagination who grew into a man whose openness, generosity of spirit, and creativity have enchanted audiences for more than 40 years.
"Molly Haskell, one of our most essential authorities on the movies, has written a fascinating, witty, acutely discerning book about a subject that would seem, at first glance, odd. But what a spectacular match it proves to be! Spielberg is given his proper due, and Haskell outdoes herself."—Phillip Lopate, author of American Movie Critics
"Steven Spielberg and Molly Haskell—the great producer-director of modern film and one of the most intelligent and sensitive film writers we have ever had. The result is as rich and intriguing as the meeting of Elliott and E.T. We know the Spielberg films, or we think we do, until they come under the cool yet warming gaze of Ms. Haskell. As a result, we are the more fascinated with Spielberg and the more encouraged by the principle of essential and enlightening film commentary."—David Thomson
Molly Haskell is a film critic and the author of four previous books, including Love and Other Infectious Diseases and Frankly, My Dear: "Gone with the Wind" Revisited. She writes and lectures widely on film. She lives in New York City.

In many cases, it will cost about 25 to 30% of the total loan amount borrowed. The interest rate will be reported in writing by a company loan, then be sure that you assess phrases and circumstances before closing the deal. Keep in mind that payday loans are for short-term purposes and the effective rate is definitely high compared to other items on the market.

Art Deco wedding
, your a glamorous and romantic bride. Looking for inspiration? I'm sure you've watched the Great Gatsby movie but you can find Art Deco designs nearly everywhere you look from architecture to furniture design. For your wedding reception hall choose a building styled in this classic look from the 1920's through the 1940's. Chances are the inside will be as stylized as the exterior. Black, white, silver and gold along with mirrors and crystals can be used for decor. Look for symmetrical designs and motifs. For your dress go old Hollywood style and sport a retro dress and headpiece. The popular Parisan and Broadway fonts are often used for this style - incorporate them into your invitations, decor and stationary. Since prohibition was also during the 1920's you can bring in elements of whiskey such as rocks glasses as modern
Art Deco wedding favors
and give out engraved decanters as groomsmen gifts.
