Church shooting raises questions about carrying firearms in Illinois churches
BELLEVUE, WA – The tragic church shooting Sunday in White Settlement, Texas in which church members fatally shot the gunman reminded MetroEast citizens about a similar situation ten years ago at the First Baptist Church of Maryville, Illinois. The church's pastor was killed while preaching during a Sunday morning service. Other parishioners were injured when the shooter pulled a knife on them and then himself after his firearm jammed.
No one at First Baptist Church of Maryville produced a weapon in defense that fateful day, although it is legal for those with an Illinois Concealed Carry Weapon license to do so - unless the church bans carrying firearms on its property.

Thorner: The Perils of Congressional Bipartisanship
By Nancy Thorner -
Bipartisanship in Congress can be a good thing when and if it can happen in a nation that is so divided. Bipartisanship certainly sounds ideal. There are many Americans who desire bipartisanship and complain when Democrats and Republican don't work together.
In December of this year bipartisanship occurred twice, but both attempts produced results that were less than stellar.

Rossi: Impeachment Charade Is 2nd IQ Test for America
By Randy Rossi -
This Democrat impeachment charade is another IQ test for Americans The first one was to see if they could figure out that the Democrat's charges of Trump's collusion with Russia was the hoax that we all now know it was thanks to the Mueller and IG Reports. This impeachment charade is another IQ test for Americans to see if they remember their high school civics courses, the concept of the "rule of law", and the ideas of fairness and justice . For anybody who does remember those courses, this Democrat impeachment charade should be viewed as a Democrat insult to all Americans because it violates the Constitution, fairness, and the rule of law.

How An Unlimited Supply Of Borrowed Cash Is Destroying Higher Education
The 1619 Project is based on nonsense. Rebecca Kathryn Jude and Chauncey M. DePree, Jr. write:
"You have to go to college" was an article of faith when we were growing up in poor families. Now we wonder if our ticket out of poverty still has the same value. Far too many of this generation are leaving college with substantial debt and few meaningful job opportunities.
Put a little differently, what is the value of a bachelor's degree in women's studies or sociology or any other fields that are not science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or business? Ask some of the young people working at your local coffee shop or favorite restaurant. They will probably tell you, "not much."

"I Don't Want To Die" – Schools Are Traumatizing Kids With Greta's Climate Apocalypse
"Mommy, they said that we're going to die in eight years." That's what Joylaea Blazevik, a distraught eight-year old, told her mother, Lejla Blazevik, following a presentation on global warming at her school, in Toronto, Canada. "They were terrified with the information," Mrs. Blazevik told the National Post, a major Canadian newspaper.
Along with other seven- and eight-year-olds from second and third grade classes at her school, Joylaea had watched a video of Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teen climate crusader, delivering her now-famous "How dare you!" tirade at the United Nations. "People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing," the pigtailed girl ranted. "We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!"
Good Public-school Teachers Under Siege
When the National Education Association (NEA) partnered with a radical homosexual and transgender group known as the "Human Rights Campaign" to create "welcoming schools," a lot of public-school teachers felt uncomfortable, if not outraged. But when the groups sent out a mass e-mail encouraging teachers to ask young children what "pronouns" they prefer — he, she, they, z, tree, and so on — that was a bridge too far for many.
In a video produced as part of the campaign, two transgender children discuss their preferred pronouns with each other. One of the children prefers the plural pronoun "they," while the other, who claims not to be a boy or a girl, prefers "zee." Seriously. After that, the two children discuss the alleged need to "educate" their own teachers, especially substitutes, on the supposed importance of using the newly invented pronouns that students choose for themselves.
Democrats Just Betrayed Working-Class Americans To Appease Environmentalists
Congressional Democrats just betrayed America's working class.
The U.S. House recently passed a series of bills banning offshore energy development, a significant source of employment for blue-collar Americans. Fueled by environmental fervor, these lawmakers are willing to sacrifice opportunities for their most important constituents.
There could be up to 90 billion barrels of oil and 328 trillion cubic feet of gas buried beneath federally owned sections of the ocean floor. That's enough oil and natural gas to power the United States for over a decade. Ideally, energy companies would lease these underwater lands from the government and extract this bounty.

"Refugees" and "immigrants" - the same, or very different in Illinois?
Sign located on a Pilsen neighborhood church in Chicago
WEST CHICAGO - Immigration could be a key issue in Chicago's western suburbs next November as Republicans fight to retake control of the U.S. House. But a letter in response to President Trump's executive order concerning refugee placement has opened the discussion in Illinois' purple DuPage County.
Earlier this week, President Trump told a group of young conservatives at a conference in West Palm Beach, "We believe our country should be a sanctuary for law-abiding Americans, not for criminal aliens. The open borders agenda of the radical left causes profound harm to poor, working-class Americans."
The debate erupting in DuPage County Illinois has come down to determining the difference between the terms "refugees" and "immigrants." If they're one and the same, Republican DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin is giving conservatives the impression he is shrugging off President Trump's views on protecting law-abiding Americans.

U.S. children, Christian children more likely to be raised in single-parent homes: Pew
The United States has a higher rate of children living in single-parent homes than many other parts of the world, and Christian children around the world are about twice as likely to live in a single-parent home, according to a recent report by the Pew Research Center.
In a report released last week by Pew's Religion & Public Life, the research organization found that 23 percent of children under 18 in the U.S. lived in a single-parent home.
This was a higher percentage than other countries, including Brazil (10 percent), Germany (12 percent), India (5 percent), Japan (7 percent), Mali (1 percent), Nigeria (4 percent), Russia (18 percent), Turkey (2 percent), and Vietnam (4 percent).

Western companies allegedly complicit in China's organ scandal
The report, entitled the Economics Of Organ Harvesting In China and conducted by the Institute to Research the Crimes of Communism, finds that the companies from Western countries are 'taking part' in China's organ harvesting crimes, including Pfizer from America, OrganOx from the United Kingdom and Roche from Switzerland.
The report supports China Tribunal's Final Judgement in June 2019 which exposed China's 'wicked' organ harvesting crimes and murder of innocent people as 'Crimes Against Humanity'.

Construction has begun on the future Harvey Milk, a fleet oiler named for the slain gay rights leader and the first openly gay man elected in the state.
Milk was elected to the San Francisco board of supervisors in 1978 and was assassinated 10 months later by an ex-supervisor. His life was the subject of the 2008 film "Milk."
"(This) sends a global message of inclusion more powerful than simply 'We'll tolerate everyone,'" Harvey Milk's nephew said. "(It says) We celebrate everyone."

14th CD Republicans protest Democrat Underwood's impeachment vote
WEST CHICAGO - Saturday, Republican Jim Marter and an array of 14th CD supporters delivered a letter to freshman incumbent Democrat Congresswoman Lauren Underwood, who voted to impeach President Donald Trump last week.
In 2016, Trump won the 14th CD by 17 points - then turned blue when the 2018 Blue Tsunami hit Illinois.
The Republicans want the 14th back. Seven Republicans are vying for the Republican nomination in the March 2020 primary.
Marter's letter delivery turned into an anti-impeachment demonstration, with signs like "Go Impeach Yourself" and "Stop the Circus."

Weyermuller: Celebrating Christmas 2019 in Chicagoland, Getting Ready for a Wild 2020
By Mark Weyermuller -
For the past several years I've been posting a Christmas Nativity scene a day on Facebook and Twitter. This includes front lawns, table displays, churches, and even a live children's nativity children's service featuring a donkey, four sheep, and a 1500-pound camel. I collect table nativity sets with about 75 in my collection. This year Hobby Lobby had about hundred different ones, including nativity ornaments but upon a visit this week they are almost completely sold out. I did purchase this week several nativity coloring books which are pretty cool.

New Ives poll shows she could beat Democrat Casten in 2020
WHEATON - Illinois' 6th CD could swing back into Republican hands next November, a poll released by Republican candidate Jeanne Ives said Monday.
The campaign says an Ogden & Fry poll conducted on December 17 shows the former state rep leading incumbent Congressman Sean Casten in a one-on-one in Illinois' 6th Congressional District. The poll was conducted districtwide regarding political preferences of candidates with 575 respondents.
While the 575 polled showed Democrats leading by five points in Henry Hyde's once-conservative district, Ives polled ahead of Casten by 10 points among likely voters. The Madigan Democrat machine has redrawn the 6th CD over the last two decades to include areas of Cook County that bring in more and more Democrats, while they are leaving the city of Chicago.

Franklin Graham: 'My Father Would Have Been Disappointed' in Christianity Today's Call to Remove Trump
Evangelist Franklin Graham has responded to a fiery editorial calling for President Trump's removal from office posted online Thursday by Christianity Today, a publication founded by his father.
Editor-In-Chief Mark Galli was posted the editorial just one day after Trump became the third president in United States history to be impeached by the House of Representatives. Galli wrote, "The impeachment of Donald Trump is a significant event in the story of our republic. It requires comment."
The Business of Climate Change
Climate change is about the money. Rupert Darwall writes:
Saving the planet takes money, and lots of it. Money is both the theme and the subtext of the latest round of U.N. climate talks being held here—a vast river of cash flows through the U.N. climate process. Formally, the meeting is about nailing down one of the more obscure provisions of the Paris Agreement: Article 6, which provides for market-based instruments so that countries can trade their way out of their decarbonization commitments. Billions of cross-border dollars and transaction fees hang on the outcome.

The Invention of Hispanics: What It Says About the Politics of Race
Activists created ethnic categories to fuel identity politics. Mike Gonzalez writes:
America's surging politics of victimhood and identitarian division did not emerge organically or inevitably, as many believe. Nor are these practices the result of irrepressible demands by minorities for recognition, or for redress of past wrongs, as we are constantly told. Those explanations are myths, spread by the activists, intellectuals, and philanthropists who set out deliberately, beginning at mid-century, to redefine our country. Their goal was mass mobilization for political ends, and one of their earliest targets was the Mexican-American community. These activists strived purposefully to turn Americans of this community (who mostly resided in the Southwestern states) against their countrymen, teaching them first to see themselves as a racial minority and then to think of themselves as the core of a pan-ethnic victim group of "Hispanics"—a fabricated term with no basis in ethnicity, culture, or race.

China Violates Disclosure Law to Publish Propaganda in NY Times, WaPo
China routinely broke federal law by not disclosing how much it spent to publish regime propaganda in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and other newspapers, an expert review of foreign agent registration filings concluded.
China Daily, an official mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, has published hundreds of propaganda articles designed to look like ordinary news stories in some of America's most influential newspapers. While foreign agents may place ads in the United States, the propaganda outlet has repeatedly violated the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) by failing to provide full disclosures about its purchases.
How socialism causes atheism
George Orwell's 1984 defines the booming genre of dystopian literature, but Aldous Huxley's Brave New World provided a more accurate prophecy of the future. In another of his works, Ends and Means, Huxley offered deep insights into why people choose to become atheists. In a time when 26 percent of Americans are unaffiliated with any religion, and the number of atheists and agnostics in the U.S. has doubled in the last 10 years, people of faith must pay heed to his observations. Huxley wrote that he and "most of [his] contemporaries" saw atheism's moral vacuum as their "instrument of liberation," because it allowed them to embrace sexual hedonism and socialism. For most however, the transference of faith is not so coldly transactional as it was for Huxley. Instead, faith in the transcendent gets crowded out by faith in socialism's utopian promise of equality-of-outcome on earth. This path transformed Michael Harrington from a daily communicant volunteering in the Catholic Worker movement to the atheistic founder of the Democratic Socialists of America.

California Freelancers Suffer From Totally Predictable 'Unintended Consequences' of Gig Worker Protection Bill
A bad California law will devastate freelancers. Elizabeth Nolan Brown writes:
Vox Media is laying off hundreds of freelance writers and editors due to a new California law that was sold as a way to protect the state's contingent workforce. That law, AB5, was adopted in September. To comply, New York-based Vox Media would have had to reclassify many of the freelancers it uses for sports platform SB Nation as full-time staff.
Instead, the company decided to cancel the contracts of some 200 or so freelancers that now work for SB Nation. It will "replace them with 20 new part-time and full-time staffers," a "source familiar with the decision" told the Los Angeles Times.

Pritzker's office boasts historical low in state's unemployment rate
SPRINGFIELD – With little mention of the burgeoning national economy generally attributed to President Donald Trump's policies, the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) boasted the state's unemployment rate fell another .1 percentage points to 3.8 percent - a new historical low - in November 2019.
"With unemployment at a record low, this administration remains committed to strengthening Illinois' economy and implementing policies that lift up working families," said Deputy Governor Dan Hynes. "Governor Pritzker has taken historic actions this year to build a foundation for long-term job growth. From a new bipartisan capital bill to pension reform and a raise in the minimum wage, this administration is working towards its goal of fostering an environment for businesses and working people to thrive in."

Di Leo: Impeachment 2019: A Political Party Comes Full Circle
The news of the week, possibly the news of the year, in a way, is that the United States House of Representatives has impeached President Donald Trump, sort of (at this writing, the House hasn't forwarded the package to the US Senate, and it is rumored that it may never do so, making it unclear whether it counts as an impeachment at all).
It doesn't mean he's leaving office, of course… Since there is zero chance of his conviction in the Senate, due to the unprecedented process violations by the House, President Trump is more likely than ever to enjoy his remaining five years in the White House, with continued success, and perhaps even more fun than he had in his first three.
… But it is still significant, not only because impeachment is so rare, but also because this one is such a throwback to the birth of the Democratic Party, over two centuries ago.

Over 5400 were inside Battle Creek's Kellogg Arena, with thousands unable to come in as the local fire marshall stopped admitting people into the building about 90 minutes before the president took the stage. Many people were waiting for hours in 17 degree temperatures as the venue opened early at 3:00 p.m. - four hours before the president was scheduled to speak.

In a UN Climate Statement on November 1, 2019, UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa announced: "We are pleased to announce the COP Bureau has agreed that COP25 will take place from 2-13 December in IFEMA - Feria de Madrid in Madrid, Spain."
Not mentioned in her announcement was how COP 25 had to change locations from Chile to Spain at very short notice (after it had already changed locations from Brazil to Chile), after riots erupted around Chile in protest to energy price hikes to pay for her climate change programs, thus forcing Chilean President Sebastian Pinera to put troops on the streets and cancel his plans to host COP 25.

Shehab: Linda Sarsour and others push Anti-Semitism, conspiracy theories at Chicago Palestinian Convention
By Hesham Shehab -
The former "Women's March" leader who once called for a "jihad" against Donald Trump is back in the news, following leaked video of her diatribe against Israel as a "Jewish Supremacist" state. Linda Sarsour, the Palestinian American activist and Bernie Sanders campaign surrogate claimed that "Israel was built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everybody else." Sarsour was speaking before a crowd at the annual Palestine Convention of the American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), held in Chicago over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Nor was Sarsour the only anti-Semitic speaker. Rather the entire event was dominated by Anti-Semitic diatribes, conspiracy theories, and distortions of Israeli history, all taking place while AMP security aggressively denied access to anyone attempting to accurately report on what was said.
Joining Sarsour at the AMP convention was Nihad Awad, co-founder of Council on the American and Islamic Relations (CAIR) spoke about a Western conspiracy where the "transnational Zionist movement" and neoconservatives use Islamophobia as a "funnel" to "spread misinformation," and propaganda, using "sophisticated networks."

Rossi: Impeachment - "A Day That Will Live In Infamy"
December 18, 2019 will forever be remembered in U.S. history as another "Day That Will Live In Infamy" and another day that the United States was attacked and put into great danger as it was when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
Sadly, this attack on America was by Democrats who impeached Republican President Trump purely for partisan reasons and their hatred of our president. As many Constitutional legal experts have said, "This is the weakest impeachment in U.S. history" and it threatens our great republic and all future presidents of any political party if it is not thrown out by the Senate as unconstitutional, illegal, and immoral.
Mollie Hemingway of the Federalist did a great job of simplifying why this phony impeachment must be thrown out for four critical reasons:

Yale Prof Estimates Faculty Political Diversity at '0%'
Nobody looks to the Ivy League for balanced political discourse. But a new report suggests that on at least one campus, the stifling of conservative views among faculty members is nearly complete.
Valerie Pavilonis and Matt Kristoffersen report in the Yale Daily News:
According to computer science professor David Gelernter '76, faculty political diversity at Yale is low: "0%," he wrote in an email. He added that while there are a "few conservatives, including prominent ones," their numbers are not high enough to have a significant impact on campus culture.

Education Department uncovers $1.3B in foreign university funding
An Education Department investigation revealed universities failed to report more than a billion dollars in foreign funding, which officials believe is only a sliver of the unreported overseas donations flowing onto campuses.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos told the Washington Examiner she had launched a preliminary investigation into six universities but already turned up an alarming $1.3 billion in foreign funding over the past seven years from nations such as China, Russia, and Qatar that the schools hadn't told the federal government about, despite their legal requirement to do so.
"It is already a reporting requirement for schools to report all foreign contributions. From my perspective, it's a simple requirement: Report all foreign money you get." DeVos said. "We're going to continue to raise the flag on this, and we think, just given what we've seen scratching the surface, there's a lot there that has gone undetected."
Greta Thunberg Is the Perfect Hero for an Unserious Time
Who better than a finger-wagging teen bereft of accomplishment, or any comprehension of basic economics or history, to be Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2019? Greta Thunberg's canonization is a perfect expression of media activism in a deeply unserious time.
Has there ever been a less consequential person picked to be Person of the Year? I doubt it. I mean, Wallis Simpson, 1936's Person of the Year, got King Edward VIII to abdicate the throne. Thunberg can't even get you to abdicate your air-conditioning.
These days we celebrate vacuous fire and brimstone. "Greta Thunberg"—the idea, not the girl—is a concoction of activists who have increasingly taken to using children as a shield from critical analysis or debate. She's the vessel of the environmentalist's fraudulent apocalypticism-as-argument. Her style is emotion and indignation, histrionics and fantasy. She is a teenager, after all.

Rossi: British Voters Just Handed US Democrats a Big Warning!
British voters just handed the worst loss to the liberal Labor Party in Britain since 1935 giving the conservatives the most power they have had since conservative Margret Thatcher was elected as Prime Minister. Democrats in America should pay attention because there is a good case that US voters may do exactly the same thing to liberal Democrats in 2020.
Britain's liberal Labor Party ignored the will of the people and resisted "Brexit" while they pushed far left socialist policies that a majority of Brits strongly did not agree with. The British people love their country and they do not want open borders and they are tired of bureaucrats in Brussels ruling their lives. Sounds just like the 63 million Americans that voted for President Trump!

Preaching a Conspiracy Theory
The 1619 Project is based on nonsense. Allen Guelzo writes:
The 1619 Project is not history: it is polemic, born in the imaginations of those whose primary target is capitalism itself and who hope to tarnish capitalism by associating it with slavery. Slavery made cotton profitable; but profitability is not capitalism. Profit-seeking has been around since Abraham bought the cave at Machpelah in the book of Genesis. If profitability were capitalism, then the Soviet Union's highly profitable sales of natural gas and other commodities would surely make it one of the great success stories of capitalism – which, of course, it was not. Ask any worthwhile Marxist: capitalism is about the creation of class, and especially the bourgeoisie. And one thing the South never developed was a bourgeoisie. Which is why no single American, North or South, before 1861 ever imagined that slavery and capitalism were anything but mortal enemies. The proslavery apologist, George Fitzhugh, frankly declared that slavery was a form, not of capitalism, but feudal socialism; the antislavery president, Abraham Lincoln, explained the war on slavery as a war on behalf of free labor.

CBS Boosts Southern Poverty Law Center
You'd think that liberal news outlets would get tired of schlepping around the Southern Poverty Law Center's baggage.
After a devastating year—one that saw all of SPLC's top leadership resign over workplace sexism and racism—it seemed, at least for a while, that the media would stop propping up the disgraced anti-Christian cesspool of bigotry. Apparently not.
At CBS, they'd rather take the word of an organization being sued by its own employees than a conservative victim of the SPLC's labeling. ...
... In a story about Fidelity Investments, one of the charitable funds that lets donors "grow their savings" and give to their favorite causes, CBS blasts the company for leaving conservative groups—who've been wrongly smeared by SPLC—on the list.
Organizations like FRC were listed as benefiting from the fund, despite, CBS explains, being "described as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center."

Tenmile
South Dover NY to Gaylordsville CT
Difficulty I-II(III)
Length 4.95 Miles
Gauge TENMILE RIVER NEAR GAYLORDSVILLE, CT
The put-in is off Route 55 (Riverview Road) at a spot where there is room for a few cars to pull in and park. The first couple of miles are a mixture of flat water and Class I whitewater, making this a nice introduction for novice boaters. The first rapid of note is State Line, at the NY/CT border. This is a nice bouncy Class II drop with a large eddy behind a boulder river left at the bottom. After State Line there's a bit more flat water and a couple of easy Class II- rapids. At the confluence with the Housatonic River, you pass under a footbridge that is on the Appalachian Trail. There is a long slope on the broad stretch of the Housy here with scattered boulders, some surf waves and squirt lines on river left, and a more fluid line on river right. After some flat water and another Class II slope there's a pleasant surf wave with a friendly eddy on river right. From here, rounding the corner sharply to the right you come to George's, a popular play spot for boaters running Bulls Bridge. For beginner boaters, George's can be run to river right with minimal problems. A bouncier wave train forms the center line. To river left of the main channel a grippy hole forms. George's offers excellent surfing opportunities. A smaller hole is on river left, at the bottom of a minor channel over the drop, but it's quite shallow. After passing the hydro power plant on river left (which is the site of the Bulls Bridge takeout) there's a short stretch of flat water before a decent-sized Class II rapid. There are lots of lines here, the easiest of which is river left, eddying out behind the big boulder there. There's a 2ft high ledge river center that can form a hole at certain levels. The final bit of fun on the river is right by the take-out at Gaylord Bridge, where Route 7 crosses over the Housy. The easy line here is river right, straight shot to the take-out. The paddle takes two to three hours, depending how much you play along the way.
Class - II Mile - 2.2
Nice bouncy Class II drop with a large eddy behind a boulder river left at the bottom.
George's Hole
Class - III Mile - 3.8
George's is a popular surf spot for boaters running Bulls Bridge. There's an easy line river right, a bouncy wave train river center, and a grippy hole on river left of the main channel.
Decent-sized Class II rapid. The easiest line is river left, eddying out behind the big ledge there.
Gaylord Bridge
The final bit of fun on the river. The easy line is river right, straight shot to the take-out.
There is a spot on the right of Dogtail Corners rd, just off rt 55, that has a place for a couple cars to park and put in. Paddled upstream for a bit than floated back down. Current was moving fairly fast, gps clocked the max speed (coming back down) at around 6 mph. USGS data suggests for Tenmile 472 cfs, and gauge 2.6 ft. The water was high enough that only the largest boulders in the river were an issue. Wouldn't say there was much whitewater. The best part was all of 20 seconds right after the bridge at Dogtails Corner, but still quite mild. 4-5 people were fishing on the river.
James Dougherty
ran this again 4/14/07. the guage was at 2.96 and although only slightly higher than the last time I ran it, it seemed beefer. At this level, right after state line rapid, there were two good surfing waves, with water deep enough to roll with out hitting rocks. Bulls bridge on-line guage was about 3500 cfs and about 5.40 (give or take) the flinstone guage seems to have faded after 5ft but others guess about almost 3ft. At this level, Georges Hole wasn't as fun since it seemed to keep pushing me to the right. I have been told people have gotten trashed on the extreme right, so I didn't push my luck.
Did this river today 4/15/06 . Although most everything in Southern N.Y. and Ct was too low too run,Ten mile was runnable.The put in in webatuck,headed east from N.Y. is on the left, across the street from a bait and tackle. If you see the river on your left leave the road, you went to far. To get to the take-out in Gaylordsville Ct, continue on 55 East until it ends, make a right then an immediate left down the hill.

ABOUT THE RIVER: The gauge in N.Y. was at 2.90, kind of low but still fun. The first real rapid is Stateline.There's an island, we ran left of the island. I was told to stay to the right, angled right because supposedly there's a possible pinning rock on the left. Although there were two newbies nervous going down, they did fine. Still, some may want to scout, easly done on river left. The rapid is near when the river turns left and you see an island with a lot of logs dumped on it.Not to long after passing a gauge on river left.

A little further down there's a good surf wave which wasn't much at today's level. You can eddie left behind a rock with a branch about the thickness of a forarm sticking out.

When you get to the confluence of the Hous, you can pull out under the bridge for the appalachian trail. It's a pretty area and although Rte 7 can't be too far, I couldn't see or hear cars. My kind of lunch spot.

When you get on the Hous, there's some nice surfin' just as you make the right on to the Hous.

Last rapid of importance, George's Hole. After the river bends slightly to the right and there's a beach on the right,you may want to get out and scout. taking this on the right, you'll simply be on a wave train(easier route). on the left, is the Hole. the Gauge(I think it was after this, but not sure) was at 3.40. At this level. the hole would stop you momentarily,but not a keeper and a lot of fun. I suspect at higher levels, it probably gets monsterous but I doubt it will really recycle, of course I'll watch you go first. After this I believe is when I saw a gauge and then there's another rapid. My opion is the right will give you more bang for your buck,cause there's a small drop on the right.
One more thing, I have no idea why it's rated CL2-3. the only thing I would say might verge on a "3" is Georges Hole on the Hous. Again, the right is just a wave train and if you got someone "shakey" on you're trip, you can wait for them at the BIG eddy on the right. If they flip, the rapid is short. To get the paddler, boat and paddle shouldn't present to much of a problem.
Jeff Lipchus
Ran this at a fairly low level (~200 cfs); doesn't offer much until State Line Rapid, and even that's rather short-lived. At higher levels, the stretch from State Line to the confluence of the Housatonic should offer some worthwhile Class II-III.
Recommended put-in would be on Rte. 55 in Webatuck, NY, right after Dog Tail Corners Road; take-out on Rte. 7 in Gaylordsville, CT, which is on the Housatonic below the Bull's Bridge section. The parking area is about 2 miles north from the intersection of 7 and 55.
Brought a friend down at around 1000cfs (fun flow) he flipped at Stateline rapid and must have caught a piece of metal or jagged rock. Pretty good laceration on his shoulder. Havent had a chance to go back and see what he hit but heads up!

Bellows Falls (VT) Flow Study Reveals Hidden Whitewater
FERC Takes Balanced Approach on Housatonic River, Connecticut

A hardy group of northeast boaters climbed into the natural river channel below a hydropower dam to participate in a flow study designed to assess whether whitewater flows should be restored to this dewatered river reach on the Connecticut River. While significant obstacles remain, this site has the potential for providing instruction, playboating, and a big water feature that that could be run throughout much of the year and provide a much needed boost to the local economy.

La Casa de la Covadonga es un edificio ubicado en el número 44 de la calle Belisario Domínguez en el centro histórico de la Ciudad de México en la alcaldía Cuauhtémoc y fue construida a finales del siglo XVIII para albergar el hospicio de nuestra señora de la Covadonga. Fue catalogado como monumento histórico el 21 de julio de 1931.

Historia

En 1775 el sacerdote Vicente Antonio de Soto decidió fundar una casa de recogimiento para niñas descendientes de españoles y comenzó la construcción de la casa que lo albergaría en la calle de San Lorenzo. Al poco tiempo de comenzada la obra, el sacerdote enfermó súbitamente y murió, designando a dos damas de la ciudad, Josefa Gertrudis de Collazo y Rosa Josefa de Castro como sus herederas universales y albaceas en el proyecto

En 1777 se terminó la casa y el 18 de marzo del mismo año se otorgó la escritura de fundación, sin embargo el 14 de junio de 1778 se otorgó una nueva escritura que estipulaba que en la institución tendría siempre un carácter seglar, de manera que nunca interviniera ninguna autoridad eclesiástica, ni se seguirían reglas o constituciones religiosas, ni se convirtiera en convento ni tuviera carácter de beaterio.

En 1782 las fundadoras pidieron al rey que recibiera la institución bajo real patronato para constituir el hospicio en un colegio a imitación del colegio de las Vizcaínas. En respuesta, el rey pidió un informe en 1785 para que el consejo estudiara si se otorgaba al hospicio el beneficio. El 20 de abril de 1791 se otorgó la real cédula en la que se aprueban las constituciones del Colegio de Niñas Doncellas de Santa María de Covadonga de México para doncellas españolas legítimas y la real e inmediata protección de este.

En 1794 el hospicio se transformó en el Colegio de nuestra señora de la Covadonga, el cual se mantuvo en funciones hasta que fue suprimido por las leyes de reforma y el edificio fue vendido a particulares, que lo usaron como almacén. A finales del siglo XIX fue adquirido por la fundación Rafael Dondé, quienes lo convirtieron en vecindad, A principios del siglo XXI fue vendida al Gobierno del Distrito Federal quienes gestionaron su recuperación.

Rehabilitación

A principios del siglo XXI, uno de los ejes del proyecto de rescate del centro histórico era la regeneración habitacional y el repoblamiento de la zona. En el año 2004 el Gobierno del Distrito Federal a través de la Secretaría de Desarrollo Urbano y Vivienda en convenio con la Junta de Andalucía convocaron a un concurso para el Proyecto de Rehabilitación de la Casa de la Covadonga, el objetivo era lograr un proyecto emblemático, que demostrara la factibilidad técnica y financiera de recuperación edificios de valor patrimonial para la vivienda social

El ganador del concurso fue el arquitecto Alejandro Suárez Pareyón. Básicamente, se liberó al edificio de los añadidos hechos en los siglos XIX-XX con lo que se recuperaron la arquería del enorme patio y su fuente. Para los departamentos se ideó una disposición que le permitiera a la mayoría disfrutar de vista al patio, se construyeron escaleras, y se consolidaron la estructura y la fachada

Q: IIS application Pools I have one application "App1" under IIS. Inside "App1" I have another application called "App2", in IIS. They both have web.configs and each needs to read their own.
On one server configuration this is not an issue. On another, it didn't like the fact that the connection string values are in both files.
Would this indicate that the "App1" web.config is first?
Our server guys say that the configuration is the same. Has anyone see this before?

A: Many of the values in web.config like this are inherited. appSettings and connectionStrings are two such areas where values are inherited.
There is a syntax to remove inherited settings before adding new ones. That should be done in your connectionStrings section, to avoid collisions on what i assume are conn strings with the same name.
<remove name="connstringname"/>
<add name="connstringname" ... />

Family Story: Chansen, an inspiration to us all!
Chansen and his family were thrilled to spend a week at the Believe In Tomorrow House at Pinnacle Falls to celebrate Chansen's end of chemo this past summer.

Thanks to a recent grant from BGE, the Believe In Tomorrow Children's House at Johns Hopkins is looking a bit brighter! Nearly 500 light bulbs and fixtures have been replaced with LED bulbs, helping our hospital housing facility save BIG.
All of our lighting fixtures, interior and exterior, have been replaced with LED lights, which is a major upgrade from incandescent and CFL light bulbs. With such a large building accommodating up to 15 families at a time, these lights get a lot of use! Not only do the new LED bulbs make the house appear brighter and cleaner, but the BGE Green Grant also allows us to cut costs.
LED light bulbs ultimately have a longer lifespan than CFL or incandescent bulbs, allowing us to save on cost of purchasing and cut down on frequent bulb replacement. While a CFL bulb might last about two years, an LED bulb will last nearly 20 years! LED bulbs also use less electricity, emit less heat, and are overall better for the environment. This helps lower our electric bill and allows us to fulfill our mission of being an eco-friendly facility.
In addition, BGE has gone above and beyond by getting even more involved at the Believe In Tomorrow Children's House, hosting several family suppers and organizing an amazing wish list drive with dozens of much-needed housing items for our hospital housing facilities! A big shout out to Bakhtavar Wykpisz for coordinating much of these amazing volunteer efforts.
Thank you, BGE, for making such a bright difference for our children and families!

More and More Employers Are Offering EAPs
January 7, 2015 Calbroker Admin
Over the past 20 years, the number of businesses with employee assistance programs (EAPs) has more than doubled, according to a report from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Seventy-four percent of businesses offer EAP services. Many have rapidly adopted EAP services to help lower costs. Employees with untreated mental health issues and substance abuse problems can lead to absenteeism, limited productivity, high turnover, and more disability claims — all of which adds costs to employers.
There is a $3 and $10 return on every dollar spent on EAPs, according to data from Employee Assistance Trade Association (EASNA). IBIS World Industry Analyst Sarah Turk said, "As healthcare reform has required many businesses to offer employer-mandated health insurance, many businesses have looked toward cost effective employee benefits, including industry services, thus causing revenue for the Employee Assistance Program Services industry to rise 9.5% in 2014." During the five years to 2014, industry revenue is expected to rise 5.6% a year to $4.5 billion. "Over the next five years, many EAP providers will focus on bolstering employee utilization rates," says Turk. A study by Towers Watson reveals that while 85% of employers offer stress management services, only 5% of employees use these services. As a result, EAPS will focus on communicating the availability of services and overcoming employees' reluctance to seek help for mental health disorders.

Exercise Lowers Health Care Costs
Annual healthcare costs are almost 20% lower for moderate exercisers compared to non-exercisers, according to a survey by Onlife Health. The company provided thousands of wearable fitness devices to a large client as part of its wellness program. Onlife Health compared thousands of employees' claims costs against their biometric and fitness activity over three years. Emergency-room visits and inpatient stays were almost 50% lower for moderate exercisers compared to those who did not exercise at all. For more information, visit www.OnlifeHealth.com.

IN CALIFORNIA
Covered California Reports Strong Enrollment Numbers
More than 592,000 people sought coverage and were determined eligible for private health insurance and eligible or likely eligible for Medi-Cal in the first month of open enrollment. Thirty-one percent of new enrollees signed up through self-service for a Covered California plan, with the others having their application completed with the help of in-person assistance or with the help of the Covered California Service Center. About 41% of consumers enrolled on their own during the first open-enrollment period.
Since open enrollment began, there were 157,361 eligibility determinations, 144,178 plan selections for private coverage, 216,423 enrollments into Medi-Cal coverage, and 74,965 who are likely eligible for Medi-Cal. So far in 2014, Medi-Cal has enrolled more than 2.2 million consumers. Although private insurance sold through Covered California is only available during open enrollment for most consumers, Medi-Cal enrollment is year-round. In just one month this year, more Californians selected a Covered California plan than in the first two months of last year's open enrollment — with 144,178 plan selections this year, compared with 109,296 plan selections in the period from Oct. 1 to Nov. 30, 2013. For more information, visit www.CoveredCA.com.
Health Net and John Muir Health Form ACO
Health Net of California and John Muir Health formed an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) for Contra Costa, Solano, and Alameda counties. Chris Ellertson, regional health plan officer for Health Net said, "Through the arrangement, Health Net and John Muir Health will work collaboratively to build new efficiencies aimed at reducing the cost of care while maintaining access to quality care and decreasing the upward pressure on insurance premiums."

Pre-Retirees Are "Terrified" About Health Care Costs
More than 62% of pre-retirees say they are terrified of what health care costs may do to their retirement plans, according to a survey by Nationwide's Retirement Institute. The survey was conducted by Harris Poll of 801 Americans age 50 or older with at least $150,000 in household income. As health care costs in retirement continue to worry pre-retirees, about 26% of employed affluent boomers now believe they will never retire. Seventy-seven percent have not discussed their retirement health care costs with a financial advisor. For more information, visit www.nationwide.com.
Employers Are Looking At Private Exchanges for Pre-65 Retirees
Large employers are looking at private exchange solutions for their pre-65 retirees, according to a survey by Towers Watson. Over the next two years, more than half of the employers that provide health care to pre-65 retirees are planning significant changes to their medical benefits. Many employers have concluded that their costly pre-65 retiree medical benefit programs fail to meet their benefit or workforce management objectives.
Trevis Parson, chief health actuary of Towers Watson said "Pre-65 retiree medical plan sponsors have been eagerly awaiting options to deliver improved value to their early retirees. For too long, limited options and high costs have burdened employers and retirees alike. In part, these barriers have been addressed and now private exchanges can help retirees find coverage that best suits them."
Cost trends for Medicare-eligible retirees after plan changes (3.9%) are similar to trends for active employees (4%). However, trends for pre-65 retirees after plan changes are much higher (5.5%), highlighting the total cost of providing medical coverage to these younger retirees without the benefit of Medicare. In addition, 73% of employers offering medical benefits to retirees under 65 said their 2015 plan costs already exceed the cap for the plan.
In the absence of better solutions, most employers have fallen back on traditional methods to control the costs of pre-65 retiree medical plans. For 2015, 61% of employers that provide pre-65 health coverage changed plan design. Forty-two percent offer account-based health plans (ABHPs) with high deductibles connected to tax-advantaged health savings accounts for the plan year 2015. Another 8% are considering ABHPs for 2016 or 2017. Also, many plan sponsors rely on cost shifting to retirees, using cap arrangements. Forty-five percent cap the company subsidy for pre-65 retirees. As a result, subsidy caps may divert employers' attention away from actively managing the plans more effectively on behalf of retirees.
Increasingly, employers are interested in public exchanges as an alternative to providing pre-65 medical benefits. However, just 4% of employers have considered ending coverage and subsidies since retirees often have access to federally subsidized plans on public exchanges. Seventy percent would end coverage, but provide a private exchange solution that connects retirees to plans on the public exchanges. Confidence is growing that public exchanges will be a viable alternative for employer-sponsored coverage for pre-Medicare retirees: While only 8% are confident for 2015, confidence rises sharply to 35% for 2017.
Joe Murad, managing director for Towers Watson's Exchange Solutions said, "Pre-65 retiree medical benefits are complex. Companies have to consider the excise tax, new benefit options, provider networks, and subsidies along with the retirement needs of their workforce. Fortunately, with guaranteed issue, the ACA created a viable individual market for health insurance. Public exchanges simplify access to individual plans, and private exchange solutions help ease the experience of purchasing plans on public exchanges or directly from carriers. For the first time, employers can develop a pre-65 retiree medical strategy that meets the needs of retirees and helps them manage costs." For more information, visit www.towerswatson.com.
Walgreens to Provide Med Assistance to the Newly Insured
As newly insured Americans begin using their 2015 benefits under the Affordable Care Act, Walgreens will provide medication assistance to patients who may have difficulty using their new insurance coverage. Through the end of January, patients who haven't yet received a plan identification number from their insurer or are otherwise having difficulty can bring confirmation of their Marketplace enrollment to a Walgreens pharmacy. Walgreens will provide up to one month of a traditional, brand, or generic medication at no upfront cost. Walgreens offered a similar assistance last year. Walgreens is reaching out to insurance companies to request nightly eligibility file updates on health insurance marketplace plan enrollees to get the most up-to-date coverage information. Walgreens is also encouraging patients who enrolled through the public marketplace to confirm coverage with their insurance company and bring their benefit information to the pharmacy. With that plan information, Walgreens pharmacy staff can review patient benefits and work with the patient's insurance company directly to confirm benefit eligibility. To help newly insured patients, Walgreens is working with HHS, CMS, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) and the White House. For more information, visit www.walgreens.com

U.S. Life/Annuity, Health Rating Outlooks Remains Stable
A.M. Best has maintained its stable outlook for the U.S. life/annuity and health sectors, although the sectors continue to face challenges, such as low interest rates, increased regulation, and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Life insurance and annuity companies have responded to low interest rates with careful management of crediting rates. However, the asset/liability matching process has been somewhat harder to manage, as many carriers went short on the asset side in anticipation of rising rates in 2014. A.M. Best is concerned that the easy fixes have been exhausted and that further reductions may cut expenses too deeply in areas that are needed to develop and sustain growth. Despite some adverse trends, A.M. Best's stable rating outlook reflects the life/annuity industry's history of resilience in the face of such factors.
Health insurers have generally succeeded in managing the various issues in 2014, including the roll-out of health insurance exchanges with guaranteed issue coverage; the expansion of Medicaid; payment of the ACA health insurer fees; and changes to Medicare Advantage funding.
Even with the rapid premium growth resulting from the exchanges and Medicaid expansion, earnings for most health insurers continued to be favorable for 2014, with many companies reporting strong operating results. Profit margins have compressed over the past few years and declined further in 2014. They could also decrease slightly in 2015, as the ACA fee increases and there is a continued shift to products with lower margins. A.M. Best views this lower level of margins for health insurers as a reset for the industry and the new norm. Therefore, A.M. Best expects health insurers to remain profitable – just at a slightly lower level.
AM Best also finds the following:
A benign credit environment with very low levels of impairments across all asset classes.
A boost from higher equity markets resulting in increased assets under management (and the resulting fee income), lower hedging costs with generally reduced volatility, and reserve releases as net amount at risk declines on legacy variable annuity products.
High levels of reported risk-adjusted capitalization.
Stable trends in both statutory and GAAP earnings.
Continued product de-risking.
Improving economic conditions domestically.
Ongoing refinement of risk management with respect to model validation, risk appetite and risk tolerances.
Low cost refinancing opportunities with demonstrated demand in the capital markets.
As portfolio yields continue to decline slowly, companies have continued to search for yield, somewhat at the expense of lower liquidity (as opposed to higher credit risk). Life and annuity writers also continue to seek growth both organically and through acquisitions, especially abroad.
