SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Some of the largest public labor unions in Illinois filed a long-awaited lawsuit Tuesday challenging the state’s new pension reform law, a move that could delay implementation of the landmark measure and have major ramifications in upcoming elections.
On the eve of a State of the State address by Gov. Pat Quinn, who faces a tough re-election campaign, lawyers for the We Are One Illinois coalition of unions filed the lawsuit in Sangamon County Circuit Court on behalf of two dozen retired employees.
The lawsuit, which follows others already filed by retirees, argues the pension bill approved by the Legislature and Quinn signed more than a month ago violates a clause of the state constitution that says pension benefits may not be “diminished or impaired.” It also asks the court to stop the law from taking effect until the case is decided.
Michael Carrigan, president of the Illinois AFL-CIO, said the suit “makes it clear that pension theft is not only unfair, it’s clearly unconstitutional.”
“The Legislature and governor shirked their responsibility to uphold the constitution, so we are seeking justice in court to right their wrongs,” Carrigan said.” Promises must be kept, and the rule of law must prevail over politics.”
The 25 named plaintiffs in the suit include retired public school teachers, firefighters, prison workers, and employees of various state agencies. Quinn, state treasurer Dan Rutherford – one of four Republican bidders for governor – and comptroller Judy Baar Topinka are defendants, along with the state’s retirement systems.
Senate President John Cullerton called the legislation an important test for the courts as the Legislature will begin to focus on other pension reform in the upcoming spring session, including for the city of Chicago.
Quinn’s spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said Tuesday the lawsuit came as no surprise.
“We believe it’s constitutional, and we’ll defend the interests of taxpayers,” Anderson said.
The timing, however, is less than convenient for the Democratic governor. During Quinn’s address today, he is expected to tout the pension overhaul aimed at eliminating a worst-in-the-nation pension shortfall as a definitive step in ending a crisis he has said he was “put on Earth” to solve. “
The crisis has created somewhat of a rift between the governor and the state’s public employee unions, some of which are top campaign contributors. AFSCME, the state’s largest employees union, will hold an endorsement session Saturday, where Quinn and lawmakers supportive of the pension package could see ramifications as they seek re-election bids.
“Know that the pension theft bill, matters of retirement security more broadly will weigh heavily in terms of those endorsement decisions at every level,” AFSCME spokesman Anders Lindall said.
Illinois’ five public-retirement systems were $100 billion short of what was needed to meet the state’s obligations to workers and retirees when the Legislature passed the measure. Its supporters say the plan will reduce that unfunded liability by about more than $20 billion and fully fund the pension systems by 2044. Originally projected to save $160 billion over 30 years, governor’s office last week readjusted estimates citing market changes, noting the plan will now save the state about $145 billion over the next three decades.
The plan reduces the annual cost-of-living increases for retirees and raises the retirement age for workers 45 and younger, giving some workers the option of freezing their pension and participating in a 401(k)-style contribution plan. It also puts some savings back into the pension funds and directs money from pension bond payments to the retirement systems after those bonds are paid off in 2019. Lawmakers also included two components they say were intended to improve the plan’s odds of surviving a legal challenge: a 1 percent decrease in employee contributions and a funding guarantee, which allows the systems to sue the state if lawmakers don’t provide Illinois’ payments to the accounts.
Illinois’ pension problem was the result of decades of lawmakers skipping or shorting payments to the systems which siphoned away money away from and social services. The shortfall also caused the major credit rating agencies to downgrade Illinois to the lowest credit rating of any state.
Still, lawmakers in the Democrat-controlled Legislature failed for years to come up with a deal to solve it. In November, the four legislative leaders emerged from closed-door negotiations and said they had reached an agreement. The House and Senate approved the plan the next week.
The law has already undergone legal challenges.
In early January, the Illinois State Employees Association Retirees and the Retired State Employees Association filed class-action lawsuits in Sangamon County Circuit Court. Those suits also contend the law violates a provision of the state constitution and is unfair to retirees who made required contributions to their retirement funds, while Illinois did not.

Perhaps the most searing and provocative broadcast series of the year, ABC's "American Crime" examined the racial and cultural tensions that erupted around the brutal attack of a white couple in their suburban home.
The 11-episode series explored prejudice, discrimination and identity in a direct fashion not seen since HBO's "The Wire," which ended in 2008.
While the series featured acclaimed performances by Felicity Huffman, Timothy Hutton, Benito Martinez and others, one of the standouts in the cast was Regina King, who played Aliyah Shadeed, a devout Muslim woman with a deep distrust of whites who feels that her brother, a meth addict, has been unfairly charged with the crime.
The portrayal marked a career high point for King, who has appeared in numerous TV shows and films during the last two decades. King has also branched out into directing in recent years, helming episodes of "Scandal," "Being Mary Jane" and other projects. And she has already been cast for the second season of "American Crime."

49. I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50. But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51. Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52. For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Ambrose. To stewards, that is, to Priests, the preceding words seem to have been addressed, that they may thereby know that hereafter a heavier punishment awaits them, if, intent upon the world’s pleasures, they have neglected the charge of their Lord’s household, and the people entrusted to their care.
But as it profiteth little to be recalled from error by the fear of punishment, and far greater is the privilege of charity and love, our Lord therefore kindles in men the desire of acquiring the divine nature, saying, I came to send fire on earth, not indeed that He is the Consumer of good men, but the Author of good will, who purifies the golden vessels of the Lord’s house, but burns up the straw and stubble.
Cyril. Now it is the way of Holy Scripture to use sometimes the term fire, of holy and divine words. For as they who know how to purify gold and silver, destroy the dross by fire, so the Saviour by the teaching of the Gospel in the power of the Spirit cleanses the minds of those who believe in Him. This then is that wholesome and useful fire by which the inhabitants of earth, in a manner cold and dead through sin, revive to a life of piety.
Chrys. For by the earth He now means not that which we tread under our feet, but that which was fashioned by His hands, namely, man, upon whom the Lord pours out fire for the consuming of sins, and the renewing of souls.
Tit. Bost. And we must here believe that Christ came down from heaven. For if He had come from earth to earth, He would not say, I came to send fire upon the earth.
Cyril. But our Lord was hastening the kindling of the fire, and hence it follows, And what will I, save that it be kindled? For already some of the Jews believed, of whom the first were the holy Apostles, but the fire once lighted in Judaea was about to take possession of the whole world, yet not till after the dispensation of His Passion had been accomplished.
Hence it follows, But I have a baptism to be baptized with. For before the holy cross and His resurrection from the dead, in Judeea only was the news told of His preaching and miracles; but after that the Jews in their rage had slain the Prince of life, then commanded He His Apostles, saving, Go and teach all nations.
Greg. Or else, fire is sent upon the earth, when by the fiery breath of the Holy Spirit, the earthly mind has all its carnal desires burnt up, but inflamed with spiritual love, bewails the evil it has done; and so the earth is burnt, when the conscience accusing itself, the heart of the sinner is consumed in the sorrow of repentance.
Bede. But He adds, I have a baptism to be baptized with, that is, I have first to be sprinkled with the drops of My own Blood, and then to inflame the hearts of believers by the fire of the Spirit.
Ambrose. But so great was our Lord’s condescension, that He tells us He has a desire of inspiring us with devotion, of accomplishing perfection in us, and of hastening His passion for us; as it follows, And how am I straitened till it be accomplished?
Bede. Some manuscripts have, “And how am I anguished,” that is, grieved. For though He had in Himself nothing to grieve Him, yet was He afflicted by our woes, and at the time of death He betrayed the anguish which He underwent not from the fear of His death, but from the delay of our redemption.
For he who is troubled until he reaches perfection, is secure of perfection, for the condition of bodily affections not the dread of death offends him. For he who has put on the body must suffer all things which are of the body, hunger, thirst, vexation, sorrow; but the Divine nature knows no change from such feelings.
At the same time He also shews, that in the conflict of suffering consists the death of the body, peace of mind has no struggle with grief.
Bede. But the manner in which after the baptism of His passion and the coming of the spiritual fire the earth will be burnt, He declares as follows, Suppose ye that I am to give peace, &c.
Cyril. What sayest Thou, O Lord? Didst Thou not come to give peace, who art made peace for us? making peace by Thy cross with things in earth and things in heaven; who saidst, My peace I give unto you.
But it is plain that peace is indeed a good, but sometimes hurtful, and separating us from the love of God, that is, when by it we unite with those who keep away from God. And for this reason we teach the faithful to avoid earthly bonds. Hence it follows, For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, &c.
Ambrose. Though the connexion would seem to be of six persons, father and son, mother and daughter, mother in law and daughter in law, yet are they five, for the mother and the mother in law may be taken as the same, since she who is the mother of the son, is the mother in law of his wife.
Chrys. Now hereby He declared a future event, for it so happened in the same house that there have been believers whose fathers wished to bring them to unbelief; but the power of Christ’s doctrines has so prevailed, that fathers were left by sons, mothers by daughters, and children by parents.
For the faithful in Christ were content not only to despise their own, but at the same time also to suffer all things as long as they were not without the worship of their faith.
But if He were mere man, how would it have occurred to Him to conceive it possible that He should be more loved by fathers than their children were, by children than their fathers, by husbands than their wives, and they too not in one house or a hundred, but throughout the world? And not only did he predict this, but accomplish it in deed.
Ambrose. Now in a mystical sense the one house is one man, but by two we often mean the soul and the body. But if two things meet together, each one has its part; there is one which obeys, another which rules.
But there are three conditions of the soul, one concerned with reason, another with desire, the third with anger. Two then, are divided against three, and three against two. For by the coming of Christ, man who was material became rational. We were carnal and earthly, God sent His Spirit into our hearts, and we became spiritual children.
We may also say, that in the house there are five others, that is, smell, touch, taste, sight, and hearing. If then with respect to those things which we hear or see, separating the sense of sight and hearing, we shut out the worthless pleasures of the body which we take in by our taste, touch, and smell, we divide two against three, because the mind is not carried away by the allurements of vice.
Or if we understand the five bodily senses, already are the vices and sins of the body divided among themselves.
The flesh and the soul may also seem separated from the smell, touch, and taste of pleasure, for while the stronger sex of reason is impelled, as it were, to manly affections, the flesh strives to keep the reason more effeminate.
Out of these then there spring up the motions of different desires, but when the soul returns to itself it renounces the degenerate offspring. The flesh also bewails that it is fastened down by its desires (which it has borne to itself,) as by the thorns of the world.
But pleasure is a kind of daughter in law of the body and soul, and is wedded to the motions of foul desire. As long then as there remained in one house the vices conspiring together with one consent, there seemed to be no division; but when Christ sent fire upon the earth which should burn out the offences of the heart, or the sword which should pierce the very secrets of the heart, then the flesh and the soul renewed by the mysteries of regeneration cast off the bond of connection with their offspring.
So that parents are divided against their children, while the intemperate man gets rid of his intemperate desires, and the soul has no more fellowship with crime.
Children also are divided against parents when men having become regenerate renounce their old vices, and younger pleasure flies from the rule of piety, as from the discipline of a strict house.
Bede. Or in another way. By three are signified those who have faith in the Trinity, by two the unbelievers who depart from the unity of the faith.
But the father is the devil, whose children we were by following him, but when that heavenly fire came down, it separated us from one another, and shewed us another Father who is in heaven.
The mother is the Synagogue, the daughter is the Primitive Church, who had to bear the persecution of that same synagogue, from whom she derived her birth, and whom she did herself in the truth of the faith contradict.
The mother in law is the Synagogue, the daughter in law the Gentile Church, for Christ the husband of the Church is the son of the Synagogue, according to the flesh.
The Synagogue then was divided both against its daughter in law and its daughter, persecuting believers of each people. But they also were divided against their mother in law and mother, because they wished to abolish the circumcision of the flesh.

Outback 3 Porcupine Gorge
The decision was made for us in a way. There was no time to visit Porcupine Gorge, having arrived in Hughenden at 5.15 pm; and to go first thing the next morning before driving 444 kilometres to Isisford in a rush of an afternoon was probably not even possible. So, having determined that the Royal Hotel was bearable for a second night – and the room was available – we delayed our return to Brisbane by a day. The benefits of this decision were considerable: we had a whole day to explore the spectacular, as it turned out, Gorge; and we were putting off the psychological impact of turning south, which meant 'on the way home'.
Porcupine Gorge National Park is 63 kilometres* north of Hughenden along the Kennedy Developmental Road, which felt remote even though it's fast and sealed, the whole way to our surprise. First there were camels.
And then there was Bottle Tree Ridge Lookout, not far from the southern limit of the National Park. It's a short steepish climb up the ridge, but the view to the east is worth the effort. There was a wizened old bottle tree, of course.
A stone's throw away from the bottom of the path is the forlorn grave of a packhorse mailman who met his doubtless untimely end on this spot at the hands of Aborigines in 1886.
The 120-metre-deep Gorge was formed along a tributary of the upper Flinders catchment, Porcupine (or Galah) Creek, which cut through a hard basalt cap and underlying sedimentary and metamorphic layers. The National Park, gazetted in 1970, includes eucalypt, acacia and melaleuca woodland, and ten regional ecosystems. There are at least 80 bird, 30 reptile and 30 mammal species associated with the Park. The northern part of the Park is in the Einasleigh Upland biogeographic region (essentially savanna and woodland); while the southern section is part of the Mitchell Grass Downs bioregion (largely treeless plains). The Park extends for 25 kilometres along the Creek: it doesn't require a genius to work out how it got its name.
Ten kilometres or so before the access to the Gorge via the Pyramid track is the 'official' lookout. The red grass was striking, as was the marked difference between National Park and the cattle-munched rest of the country. There is no access down into the Gorge from here.
The turn off the Kennedy to the Pyramid camp site is another 11 km further on; then 4.5 km along Mount Emu Plains Road; and finally right for 2.5 km to the day use/camping areas. It's all clearly signed. The Pyramind walking track is 2.4 km return. It says allow 1.5 hours, but I'd say longer if you want to fully appreciate all this fabulous place has to offer. The track is steep in places but not tricky: I would recommend walking boots, however, especially if you want to leap from rock to rock along the Creek bed. The descent affords good views.
Once down, we sat by the Creek, taking stock of our beautiful surroundings.
There was probably more potential here than in any other national park we'd visited this trip, with the exception of Uluru. I almost didn't know where to start.
We progressed downstream slowly towards the Pyramid. The patterns and colours in water and rock offered endless opportunities.
The Creek bed has an interesting geological feature, an isolated monolith of multicoloured sandstone (the four pictures above). The Pyramid rises from the Gorge floor, created by the eroding action of the Creek and a tributary. At the foot of its rock wall is a waterhole with a small beach, which is where we had our lunch, listening to birdsong. It was by now hot enough to seek the shade of bush and rock.
Then we walked upstream: the Gorge narrowed and there were fewer opportunities to cross the Creek.
It was tempting to keep going… just round the next corner… but there was no end to that game. And so we returned to the flaming path and climbed back up into reality from a magical place.
Porcupine Gorge is up there with Kings Canyon and Ormiston Gorge in our Best of Trip experiences. It is almost beyond comprehension that this and neighbouring White Mountains National Park are threatened by a current coal mining application.
Back in Hughenden, we wanted to eat at the Outback Deli B&B (on Little Avenue, down by the river), which we'd heard good reports about, but it was Sunday apparently, and they didn't return our call. It's maybe worth a look if you're after accommodation, too. The Royal Hotel didn't rate that well in our Outback accommodation appraisal. Our room was only slightly larger than the bed and it had paper thin walls. We ate in the bar the first night, which was not an uplifting experience – loud TVs, unhelpful bar staff and an Indigenous man begging. We waited an age for our pasta, but the sauce was delicious and we concluded it must have been freshly made. We didn't fancy another evening there, so we headed to Chengs Chinese on Brodie Street. It was busy, a good sign, and our starters were good, but the mains were rather too MSG for my liking. You know that shiny, gloopy consistency…?
Sadly, Hughenden's once Grand Hotel is in a sorry state. Built in 1912 and the only original hotel building in town, it failed to meet revised fire standards in 2003, lost its licence and was sold. It was heritage-listed four years later which resulted in a battle between the owner and the council over the cost of restoration. It remains boarded up to this day, an all too common sight in Outback towns.
Otherwise, Hughenden was the usual mixture of interesting signs and shopfronts, with the addition of weird names that I struggled to pronounce.
We also looked at the Flinders River, which needless to say was dry…
…the Historic Coolabah Tree, blazed by Frederick Walker and Sir William Landsborough who each lead a relief expedition searching for Burke and Wills…
…and the Federation Rotunda, an unusual feature constructed from two 20-foot windmills that came off a local property and date from 1912 and 1916. There's interesting information about the history of windmills alongside, and you can sit and ponder the federation of the states into one nation that the monument commemorates.
Information about all these and more is available at the Flinders Discovery Centre in Gray Street, open seven days a week. And as is the case in more and more remote towns of western Queensland, there was a dinosaur lurking not far away.
* You'll find different distances given, depending on whether the source is talking about the National Park or the Gorge itself, and whether 'the Gorge' is classed from the Lookout or the Pyramid camping ground. It is also described as an hour's drive from Hughenden

Plaza Dentist Lee Plaza Dental Provides Denture Service
Plaza Dentist Dr. Jodie Lee knows the importance restorative dentistry can play in a person’s life. Lee Plaza Dental office provides a wide variety of restorative dentistry services such as partial and complete dentures in addition to dental fillings, crowns, bridges, implant restorations etc.
Think You May Need Dentures?
While dentures are a removable appliance, keeping them in serves more than just looking like your natural smile. They support your face and facial structures like your natural teeth would do. Being removable also means you can keep your gums healthy and your dentures clean.
Partial Dentures are also an option for patients who have not lost all of their teeth. Partials prevent excessive wear and tear on your natural teeth, since the chewing force is now distributed evenly throughout the mouth.

While some in the cable news media have been direct and professional in their calls for Virginia Democratic Governor Ralph Northam to resign (with others ghoulishly connecting Northam to, among others, the Covington kids and Justice Kavanaugh), CNN briefly mislabled Northam Friday night as a Republican while airing video of his so-called apology for his racist medical school yearbook page.

A new poll reinforces the stark differences between parties.
Tuesday brought us the first special election flip of the cycle, but it was a particularly dismaying one, because it never had to happen in the first place. Republican state Rep.

For generations, we moms have been urging our kids to eat more fruits and veggies. Other dietary recommendations have come and gone, but this is one we all have in common with our great-grandmothers. You can never have too much freshly grown produce; it’s good for everyone’s overall health.
June is National Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Month, and in my home, we just love it. Ever since First Lady Hillary Clinton made it official on June 23, 1994, the CDC has partnered with Produce for Better Health (PBH), a nonprofit dedicated to families who are improving their wellness through nutrition. One of its most well-known efforts is “More Matters,” which gives parents shopping advice, produce storage information, budget-trimming tips, and healthy recipes for kids who have even the most sensitive palates. Best of all, they keep them motivated to eat more of the good stuff.
Assign a Task
Beyond listening to your mother’s stories of how she got her children to eat their greens, what can you do? How do you end the dinnertime battles and get your kids to enjoy eating fresh fruits and vegetables?
First, get them involved in their own meal production. Whether they’re choosing produce at the store, selecting which local farm to frequent, or even growing food themselves, kids will surprise you with their enthusiasm, given the chance to participate.
Once in the kitchen, assign them tasks to get their hands on the food they’ll eat. Let them wash their favorite fruits and veggies before meal time. You might even ask them to tear the lettuces for a group salad every day.
Let Them Create
Invite your littles to share a quick fact with the family about the vegetable before anyone takes a bite. What gives the vegetable its color? What’s its primary nutrient? When growing, did it have any natural defenses against bugs or competing plants? A quick web search before dinner time will supply your little nutritionist with ample information to share.
Does one of your children enjoy serving or hostessing? Give him or her the honor of dishing up the colorful veggies to other family members at dinner time, and doling out the fresh fruit for dessert. Ask your most artistic child to find decorative ways to store your countertop produce neatly in the kitchen.
Shake Things Up
Next, reorganize. This is another activity kids can help with; their observations of kitchenware placement can be surprisingly thoughtful. Start with these changes, and see what else your kids come up with:
- Put fruits and vegetables at eye level when they open the pantry or refrigerator door. Rich meats, prepared foods, and other packaged snacks should be placed out of sight as much as possible.
- Display “Go” foods in a beautiful bowl on the kitchen table, within reach of little hands to touch when wanting sensory stimulation . . . or of course, when hungry!
- Rethink on-the-go snacks. Instead of packing a busy bag full of crackers or pretzels, have apples, bananas, plums, and water—with a splash of 100-percent juice—within reach.
Lastly, have fun! Celebrating National Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Month is just that—celebrating. Take advantage of the resources you’ve made available, and make them the reason your family enjoys eating together.
- Download some free printable activities they can bring with them to the store. Kids not only enjoy the challenges (like finding different colors among the fruits and veggies), but they’ll also learn what natural foods do for our bodies.
- If your children are younger, they may enjoy coloring pages about veggies. Once they’re old enough to convert measurements, they’ll enjoy some chopped/mashed/sliced vegetable measuring activity sheets.
- Check out Food Champs, which is full of online games for kids—some of which highlight farm-to-fork, whereas others emphasize making good daily choices.
During their transition to a healthier lifestyle, one of your kids may even become an activist for their favorite foods. Encourage more involvement by offering programs to champion this passion, like Farm to School or a personal School Wellness Policy. Have them ask school administration to put up “Rainbow at the Salad Bar” posters in the lunch room, or whether a fun, short nutrition curriculum could be in their future.
How will your family celebrate this often-overlooked holiday? Do you get your kids excited to eat fresh fruits and veggies? Leave a comment for the other curious parents below.

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said on Wednesday that if GOP debate moderators don’t ask the candidates about the controversial budget deal, that means the “fix is really in.”
“I fully expect the moderators to ask these various candidates if they endorse the Republican budget deal — I mean, that’s a sitting duck,” Limbaugh said. “If that doesn’t happen, then the fix is really in.”
He added, “Folks, we’ve just taken half the arsenal out of the campaign against any Democrat nominee by assuming their role as big spenders, deficit spenders.”
The U.S. House planned on Wednesday to approve a bipartisan budget deal that congressional leaders struck with President Barack Obama after weeks of secret negotiations. Republicans also officially nominated Paul Ryan to become the next House speaker.
That pact would authorize more government borrowing to pay its bills and set overall defense and domestic spending limits for the next two years. Critics say it adds more debt and increases spending. The Senate seemed likely to give it final congressional approval in a few days.

ECB to ring in New Year with interest rate on hold
FRANKFURT - Agence France-Presse
A man walks next to the Euro currency sign in front of the European Central Bank (ECB) headquarters in Frankfurt. REUTERS photoThe European Central Bank will usher in 2013 with steady interest rates at its first policy meeting this year to keep up the pressure on governments to solve the debt crisis, analysts predict.
With ECB interest rates currently at record lows and its latest anti-crisis weapon ready and primed for action, central bank chief Mario Draghi will not pass up the opportunity to insist once again that only governments can resolve the long-running crisis, economists said.
“Whilst a (rate) cut cannot be entirely ruled out, we do not expect the governing council to change interest rates at its meeting [on Jan. 10],” said Commerzbank economist Michael Schubert.
“On the one hand, ECB executive board members have tried to dampen rate cut speculation over recent weeks, and on the other, important sentiment indicators have increased once again,” he said.
New tiny hopes
On Jan. 4, the closely watched Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for the entire euro area hit a nine-month high, offering hope the single currency area could be moving out of its deep double-dip recession.
Recent data for Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, have also come in better than expected.
And German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble even went so far as to say he believed the embattled eurozone was now past the peak of its three-year-long debt crisis.
Market tensions have indeed eased since the ECB unveiled its anti-crisis bazooka in September, the so-called OMT bond-purchase program.
The scheme is credited with marking a turning point in financial market sentiment towards the crisis-wracked euro even though it has not actually been used.
With markets now calmer, the ECB has been able to keep its gunpowder dry, keeping interest rates at their all-time low of 0.75 percent and holding fire on other emergency anti-crisis measures as well, after pumping vast amounts of liquidity into the markets at the beginning of last year.
No immediate need to act
Nevertheless, at last month’s meeting, ECB chief Draghi appeared to open the door to further rate cuts, crucially revealing that there had been “wide discussion” of such a move on the decision-making governing council and that the decision to keep rates on hold was anything but unanimous.
Commerzbank’s Schubert pointed out, however, that top board members -- such as Yves Mersch, Peter Praet and Joerg Asmussen -- have all sought to play down possible rate cuts recently.
Deka Bank chief economist Ulrich Kater was similarly convinced that Draghi would not announce any monetary easing at his first press conference of the year.
“The policy of low interest rates is finally making itself felt in the periphery countries, thereby taking the pressure off the monetary policy actors to come up with new stimulus measures,” he said.
“For the time being, there is no immediate need to act,” he said.
In the United States, the U.S. Federal Reserve hinted last week that its own huge program of stimulus measures was under review and could be brought to an end sometime this year. Capital Economics economist Jonathan Loynes cautioned, however, that “having prevented catastrophe in 2012 by pledging to do whatever it takes to save the euro, the ECB will have to follow words with actions in 2013.”
While Loynes said he was expecting no policy changes, “the pressure for action may soon be irresistible.”
Postbank economist Thilo Heidrich said the likelihood of a rate cut was “wide open”, but that he was betting on a further quarter-point reduction in the key refi rate to 0.5 percent in the early months of this year and the ECB would keep it there “for some time to come.”

When you find yourself hungry for shrimp and grits, there’s nothing quite like a Louisiana recipe for garlic shrimp and tasso grits to help satisfy you. That’s why this outstanding recipe for a spicy, protein-rich skillet of garlic-infused shrimpand white cheddar grits from Louisiana Cookin’ is a certified classic dish that’s sure to make a perfect breakfast entree or even a stand-out side dish for dinner.
Garlic Shrimp Ingredients:
- 1 pound of peeled and deveined large fresh shrimp with tails left on
- ⅓ pound of tasso, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 6 cloves of garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup of chopped red bell pepper
- ⅓ cup of chopped green onion
- ⅛ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons of chopped red bell pepper, for garnish
- ¼ cup of freshly-chopped parsley, for garnish
- 1 teaspoon of fresh-ground black pepper, for garnish
White Cheddar Corn Grits Ingredients:
- 1 cup of stone-ground yellow corn grits
- 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream
- 1½ cups of shredded extra-sharp white Cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup of mascarpone cheese
- 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- You’ll want to begin the preparation of your garlic shrimp by procuring a 12-inch enamel-coated cast-iron skillet. Place the skillet on a stove burner that’s set to medium heat, and then place 1 tablespoon of your divided unsalted butter in the skillet. Once it’s melted, you’ll add your tasso to the skillet and cook it for about 15-20 minutes until it’s browned. Be sure to stir the tasso occasionally, and then once it’s browned, you’ll transfer thetasso ½-inch cubes into a medium bowl. Set the bowl aside for later, and reserve the drippings in the skillet.
- Next, you’ll want to add your chopped bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic cloves to the tasso drippings in the skillet and cook it all. Stir the contents of the skillet constantly for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Afterward, transfer these softened vegetables to the bowl with your browned tasso.
- Add your shrimp to the skillet and cook them for 2-3 minutes until they’re pink and firm. Afterward, transfer the shrimp to the bowl with vegetables and tasso.
- Add your remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and let it melt. Then, whisk your flour into the skillet and cook it for 1 minute while whisking continuously. After, whisk in your broth, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Bring it all to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat back to medium and simmer until thickened, for about 2 to 4 minutes.
- Return your shrimp, tasso, and vegetable mixture to the skillet, and stir until it’s all heated through for about 2 to 4 minutes. You’ll then serve this immediately with your White Cheddar Corn Grits. Garnish the top of your dishes with black pepper, chopped red pepper, and chopped fresh parsley.
- In order to cook your White Cheddar Corn Grits, you’ll take a medium saucepan and place it over medium-high heat. Bring your broth, butter, and salt to a boil, and then whisk in your grits. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the saucepan, and cook the grits for about 20 minutes while whisking occasionally. This should take about 20 minutes.
- Remove the grits from the head when the grits are properly thickened, and gradually whisk in your Cheddar,mascarpone, and cream. If your grits are too thick, you can remedy the situation by whisking in an additional 2 to 4 tablespoons of warm cream. Be sure to time the cooking of your grits to match when you finish cooking your garlic shrimp so that you can serve this dish immediately. Enjoy!

10, 2004) - The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS)
today hosted a symposium to mark 40 years of service to children and families
across the state. Director Bryan Samuels was joined by former Directors,
child welfare policy experts and advocates to reflect on the agency's
past and to address opportunities and challenges that exist today.
we take this opportunity to celebrate the progression of child welfare
in Illinois, many of us recognize that the next phase of change is only
just beginning," said Director Samuels. "History and research
has shown us that we must move beyond keeping our children safe. We now
need to focus on a lifetime approach of support that includes finding
them stable homes and equipping them with the education and job readiness
skills that will serve them effectively as adults."
was held today at the Chicago Marriott Downtown and included plenary sessions
titled, "Shifting Focus - From Safety to Permanence to Well Being",
"Best Interests of the Child - Changing Definitions", and "Communities
of Care." Some of the panelists included Dr. Carl Bell, Community
Mental Health Council; Patricia Martin Bishop, Circuit Court of Cook County;
and Benjamin Wolf, ACLU of Illinois. The keynote luncheon speaker was
Carol Williams Spigner, D.S.W., University of Pennsylvania, PA and former
Associate Commissioner, Administration for Children and Families, U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services.
DCFS' history is steeped in a long tradition of service and innovation
for the state's most vulnerable children. Illinois is home to the nation's
first juvenile court, counts itself as the birthplace of social work (Jane
Addams' Hull House), was among the first states to establish child protection
laws, was an early signatory to laws mandating the reporting of child
abuse and neglect, and created one of the nation's first statewide child
the state's child welfare responsibilities were housed in the Department
of mental health. Limited services and placement programs for children
were provided by
several state agencies, private agencies and county courts. Approximately
were served during the Department's first year of operation compared to
a peak of 51,000 children in care in 1997.
In the past
40 years, DCFS has worked with private and public sector partners toward
the creation of a series of successful initiatives that have served as
a model for child welfare agencies throughout the United States including
the development of a unique subsidized guardianship program and the unprecedented
placement of more than 42,000 foster children into permanent homes since
has also led the nation in building new partnerships including the One
Church One Child adoption program and the Corporate Partnership for Recruitment
of Adoptive Families initiative. Additional accomplishments include the
development of a unique risk assessment tool and the creation of a computer
tracking system for missing youth.
the largest child welfare agency to earn accreditation from the Council
on Accreditation for Children and Family Services. From annual investigations
involving more than 98,500 children to the care of nearly 19,000 youth
to the licensing of day care facilities that serve more than 270,000 children.
The Department has a staff of 3,600 who are dedicated to providing unrivaled
professional service at all levels.
Building on the foundation laid by his predecessors, Samuels has instituted
a series of reforms to implement a lifetime approach to child welfare.
Each of these reforms is designed to improve the development, well-being
and life outcomes of children in state care. The Integrated Assessment

Oyo State Governor, Mr Seyi Makinde, said he was set to institutionalise the democratically elected local government system at the grass roots.
Makinde, who spoke while inaugurating the boards of the Local Government Service Commission; the Post-Primary Teaching Service Commission and the state Universal Basic Education Board, said his government would turn local governments to real centres of development.
The governor also noted that the state would focus on infrastructure of the schools in view of the influx of pupils from private schools due to the free education policy of the state.
He added, “There is no doubting the fact that the three commissions hit directly at the people, whom we crave to serve diligently.
“Education is one of the four key pillars of our service delivery agenda and you will agree with me that action or inaction of TESCOM and SUBEB have implications for our success in the area of education, where we have since declared a free and qualitative education policy.”
He stated that to institutionalise democratically elected government at the grass roots, his government would conduct free, fair and credible local government election in 2020.
Makinde said, “The LGSC is to drive our bid to turn the councils to real centres of development, rather than glorified power centres they have been turned to in the past years.”

If you've been following me on instagram (if not why not ? Go on do it now - it's ok I'll wait) you will notice I've been posting photos of flowers a lot recently. I love flowers and have been taking an online course with Julie Davies that is designed for busy mums (and dads of course) who want to learn how to make the best of flowers.
I was keen to take the course as I wanted to learn a new skill and taking it online was so convenient for me. You can take as little or as much time as you like and do the homework as and when it suits. There are tasks like preparing flowers, choosing colours and thinking about what flowers mean to you. The practical tasks are fun and result in lovely arrangements - hopefully.
The first week's homework was arranging flowers in a straight sided jar. I chose some lovely carnations in co-ordinating colours and used one of my favourite vases in a rectangular shape.
|Finished tank arrangement|
Flower foam was introduced in the second week and Julie showed how to soak the foam before use and then how to shape it for the teacup arrangement. I loved watching the online videos of Julie demonstrating skills and showing how to do things. I'm a visual learner so it was really helpful for me to see how it's done before having a go myself.
|I chose these lovely blooms|
Then we did an experiment about what to feed our flowers. I took four clean jars and some simple clean stems. In each jar I put a small amount of water and then added sugar in one, lemon juice in another, bleach in the third and kept the fourth as plain water.
After a week I observed how the flowers had coped in their different containers.
I found it really interesting that the blooms that fared best were those in water and sugar. Those in bleach and lemon seemed to dry out and looked a bit poorly. That really surprised me as although I've heard that sugar feeds flowers I've never tried it before. I'm not saying it will be a regular thing, but it did give me food for thought.
One of the containers I love the most is this metal jug that I use to make small arrangements or to place little bunches of roses from the garden. The task in week three was to arrange flowers in such a way as they would look like you'd just carried them in from the garden. It was tougher than I imagined as the wide mouth of the jar required some thinking so the flowers didn't 'gape.' I was quite pleased with the finished result though.
|My jug vase|
The final week was making a hand tied posy. This is my second attempt as my first was a bit clumsy looking. I'm delighted with this as it makes a simple supermarket bunch look really special. Julie also showed how to wrap the posy so it looks really pretty and professional.
|Hand tied posy|
I'd recommend taking Julie's courses as you get to be creative, your home will be filled with beautiful flowers and you can take your time to do the tasks as and when you can fit them into your life.
I didn't spend a fortune on flowers. All of mine came from Lidl or Aldi and the flower foam was from Hobbycraft and was really cheap. All the vases are my own and I've collected them over the years.
You can try a mini course for 5 days to see if you would enjoy doing a course with Julie. There is so much support online in her facebook group and on twitter and I loved sharing my work and seeing what others had achieved.

Herbal lemongrass tea is rather new to the herbal tea world. It was discovered in North America as a caffeine free and natural herb drink. This herb received its name "lemon grass", as the flavor tastes like a perfumy lemon and the plant itself resembles a piece of long bladed grass. This herb has been used for hundreds of years primarily in Thailand and Vietnam, as one of their most common flavorings to home made meals and in their herbal lemongrass tea. Herbal Lemon Grass Tea is high in vitamin C and essential oils. Lemongrass can be added to any tea you already enjoy! Certified organic.

You never know where a dream is going to take you, something that readers of THE SANDMAN are reminded of the moment they get to issue #6 of the series and the story known as “24 Hours.” A nearly standalone tale, “24 Hours” is commonly acknowledged as one of the most disturbing comics ever written.
Lucifer, the brand new #DCTV show based on the classic Vertigo series, premieres tonight. That doesn’t give you a lot of time to get caught up on his 25-year comic book history. (Though you’re welcome to try. Lucifer’s original series as well as his brand new comic are both available digitally.) Fortunately, thanks to our friend Comic Drake, you don’t have to.
LUCIFER #1, written by bestselling fantasy novelist Holly Black and drawn by Lee Garbett, is in stores today. It features the iconic Vertigo Comics character originally created by Neil Gaiman for THE SANDMAN and further defined through the long running LUCIFER series written by Mike Carey and drawn frequently by Peter Gross.


text: MemoryWell’s network of professional journalists creates short and digestible digital life stories for people in Alzheimer’s care. We’re solving an important problem for Alzheimer and dementia care providers that they already know they have and yet haven't figured out how to solve well: capturing a person's identity to build empathy for their caregivers and improve their quality of life. Currently, most of the data is collected in hand-written questionnaires that sit collecting dust in binders. We digitize that system and synthesize the information in digestible, beautiful stories. UK studies show that life story telling can build empathy, reduce depression and improve the quality of life for those suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's. We put the person in person-centered care.


A man in an ATV drove off a cliff Friday evening outside Carbondale and was airlifted to a hospital, a Pitkin County sheriff’s deputy said.
Information about the man’s name, hometown and age were not available late Friday, but he apparently was from out of state and visiting the area, according to sheriff’s deputy Levi Borst.
The accident occurred about a half-mile from the parking lot that serves Dinkle Lake in the West Sopris Creek area, said Borst.
The man apparently drove off a 300- to 500-yard cliff, he said.
“He rolled the thing quite a ways down,” Borst said.
A rescue team from the Basalt and Rural Fire Protection District roped in and was able to put the man in a rescue litter.
Through a low-angle rescue, he was taken up to the road, where a Flight for Life helicopter was able to land.
Alcohol and drugs are being investigated as factors in the crash, Borst said.

ABC News' George Stephanopoulos reports: Democratic sources say the McCain camp may be giving up on New Hampshire and Wisconsin.
Instead of placing new television advertising buys in those states, they say the McCain campaign is stretching out previous ad buys over more days rather than devote new ad money.
No denial from the McCain camp. One source said simply, "We are on the air in those states."
Obama is leading McCain by 12 percentage points in Wisconsin and by 7 percentage points in New Hampshire, according to the latest polls.
With two weeks left until Election Day, Barack Obama holds a $37-million advantage.
Combined with funds raised by the Democratic National Committee, Obama started the final weeks of the campaign flush with $161 million, while John McCain and the Republican National Committee began October with $124.4 million to spend on the election.

While they are commonly referred to as Gnomes, these diminutive peoples are actually distinct and separate races, and are collectively the second oldest race in the world, just younger than the Halflings.
The Rodan, also known as Rock Gnomes, where Lodhgrum’s original attempt at creating life. Lodhgrum was unsatisfied with their short attention span and their dislike of hard work, preferring to create contraptions to handle their work for them. Lodhgrum created the Dwarves afterwards, Making them taller, stronger, and tougher than their predecessors, but passing on the Rodan’s ingenuity.
The Illar, also known as Forest Gnomes, where created by the combined efforts of Etella and Anarell, mixing Etella’s connection with nature with Anarell’s affinity for magic. This combination created an unexpectedly wild and unruly race, devoted to passion and enjoying life more than heading their creators’ wishes. These perceived flaws prompted the twin goddesses to try again with the creation of the Elves, not giving their new creations the ability to reproduce on their own, and forging a stronger bond with the Elves than with the Illar, along with only giving one of the twin’s aspects to each Elf.
Left behind by their Gods the Rodan and the Illar grew distant from the Divine, instead choosing to pursue worldly endeavors and arcane magic. In the North East, the Rodan created magical and mechanical wonders, and the Tower of Brass was a center of magical learning before The Recedence. In the South West, the Illar migrated away from the Etellan Forest to populate the wild, untamed land beyond the reach of their successors or their creators, and using their magic and connection with nature, turned the untamed land into the land of Elquind, a place of revelry and wild magic, barely tamer than it was before, but much more magical. after The Recedence, the magic that maintained Elquind died away, and the forests rotted, the revelry died, and all that is left is the city of Quire, holding onto the dead culture of passion and love of life that once defined the Illar.
The Gnomes where possibly the race most effected by The Recedence, entire cultures crumbled to the ground, fortunes were lost, and many Gnomes where left poor, displaced, and broken. The Rodan city of Belquin, and the Illar city of Quire are all that is left of the once mighty cultures, shells of their former selves.

Offices of three political parties sealed in Islamabad
ISLAMABAD: City managers on Tuesday sealed the offices of PTI, Jamaat-i-Islami and PML-Q, which were set up in the G-6 residential sector.
The ruling PML-N voluntarily closed down its central secretariat located in Sector F-8 while the PPP also stopped non-conforming use of Zardari House in Sector F-8. However, the PPP did not allow a CDA team to seal its central secretariat at G-6.
On the directives of the Supreme Court, the CDA has launched a campaign against non-conforming use of residential houses. So for, the civic agency has sealed 93 of the 2,000 commercial outlets, including offices of political parties, functioning in the residential areas.
According to the CDA Ordinance 1960 and Building and Zoning Regulations, residential houses cannot be used for any other purpose.
On Tuesday, when a raiding team tried to seal the central secretariat of the PPP, scores of party workers put up resistance and did not allow the team, led by Magistrate Imran Zia, to seal it.
The CDA officials left the spot and filed an application with the Aabpara police, seeking legal action against the PPP workers.
Sources said the CDA team did not visit Sector F-8 for sealing the office because there were reports that party chairman Bilawal Bhutto was staying there.
“Since we got information that Bilawal Bhutto was also present there, we decided not to go there,” said an officer of the CDA on the condition of anonymity. He said one of their inspectors visited the house and reported to the raiding team that the PPP had voluntarily closed the non-conforming use of the house. “We verified this and then decided not to visit the house.”
He said the PML-N and former president Pervez Musharraf’s All Pakistan Muslim League voluntarily removed their offices from the residential areas.

Good morning! While you were sleeping, R&B singer Jeremih finally released Late Nights. (Hence the name.) I truly thought this album would never arrive, and the steady trail of little nuggets like the singles “Oui” and “Planes” felt like little teases of something we’d never hear in full. The album had not one, but two release dates last year, and it wasn’t on the docket for this year at all. But surprise, it’s here in all its glory, with guest verses from the likes of Future, Juicy J, Ty Dolla $ign, freakin’ Twista, and more. I love surprises.
