CHICAGO – December 12, 2012. Governor Pat Quinn today was joined by Illinois college students to discuss how inaction on pension reform is threatening Monetary Award Program (MAP) college scholarships and access to higher education in Illinois. One after one, the students made clear how access to higher education changed their lives and prepared them for a job and career. Today’s event is part of the governor’s ongoing effort to educate and activate the people of Illinois to push for pension reform as he continues to work with legislators on the issue. MAP grants are need-based college scholarships that provide students with merit who are in need across Illinois with the opportunity to attend a higher education institution. These grants help cover tuition and fee costs at approved universities and colleges in Illinois, and do not need to be repaid by the student. 18,000 students lost their MAP grant scholarships this year because of budget reductions to education. Currently, only half of eligible MAP grant applicants are able to receive the aid they need to attend college.

"And all because the lady loves Milk Tray" - What a hero!
I so desperately want to know what's in his kit box, and what, pray tell, was in his left hand;~)
As a footnote, for anyone who might be out there this weekend, I was approached a couple of days ago by the University of Sheffield in conjunction with Kodak, wanting to use my photostream as part of a research project into the use of tags as part of the photo-sharing process. Just for fun, therefore, please feel free to add your own tags at any time. The more and the weirder the merrier. Let's muck up their entire project, just for the sake of it..! Or is that childish? Who cares?
Lorinda shooting Lisa. I think Lisa was shooting me shooting Lorinda too, hahaha! I need to see what she got! I was happy that my poor neglected 30D was getting some love, haha!
MORE TO COME!!
The fire at 18 Owens Landing Court was reported at 2:34 a.m. on Sunday, April 1.
Because the condominium was about 55 feet from the Susquehanna River, fire boats were dispatched; officials credited firefighters from the Susquehanna Hose Company and Charlestown Fire Company who battled the blaze from the water with limiting the damage to the three buildings surrounding the one that was engulfed by flames.
"Without their response to this incident, a much [higher] property loss would have been most probable and in turn could have put many more lives at risk," the fire marshal said in a statement.

The other end of this shot is the "In front of the camera for once" shot, lol. I was happy that my poor neglected 30D was getting some love, haha!

A frozen statement on global climate change and inaction by the public and the Canadian government, while participating in the 2009 Polar Bear Swim in Vancouver, BC, Canada. What better time to raise the issue of Polar Bears (and the other environmental and societal impacts of climate change) than at the Polar Bear Swim?

I was headed for Fairview Ave. It was beautiful out; 100% sun, temps in the low seventies, light breeze, perfect! There was even some good news on the MofW front; a high rail truck was at work just beyond Maple Ave on M3, so for the time being all the action would be up on easy to photograph M1 and M2. Wow, you can’t beat that with a stick! All I needed now were some trains, but unfortunately the signals didn’t promise much; solid red westbound, defaults eastbound, and it stayed that way until a westbound commuter broke the monotony:

A little African soapstone carving could do with a little dusting, but see what you miss out on if you clean too much.
Natural light early in the morning is great for this kind of shot

I can just see the meeting now...
bureaucrat 1: What are we going to call this new building?
bureaucrat 2: Could we perhaps name it after the noble benefactor who financed it's construction?
bureaucrat 1: NO!
bureaucrat 3: What if we named it after an inspiring visionary who has shaped the progression of this field?
bureaucrat 1: CERTAINLY NOT!
bureaucrat 4: What about...engineering......TWO!
bureaucrat 1: I like it
bureaucrat 2: Yes!
bureaucrat 3: it has pizzaz, clever, especially because it's the second engineering building. And it certainly couldn't cause any confusion or undue complication when refering to rooms *inside* the building.
bureaucrat 2: hmmm, perhaps we could hide all the floormaps and number the rooms haphazardly with no particular ryhyme or reason?
bureaucrat 1: Perfect, that way navigation will only be possible through extensive experience and hard to come by insider knowledge. exquisite!
bureaucrat 5: Wait, what if we tore this entire concrete monstrosity down and replaced it with something that was interesting and visually inspiring, hell we could even use modern developments in energy conservation to make it environmentally sustainable. I mean we could use longstanding observations about innate human psychology to create a building that promoted physical and emotional health. In the long run the UC would save millions of dollars on energy and healthcare. I bet it would also attract the brightest and best students from around the world, improving our repuation and fulfilling our committment to educate the public.
bureaucrat 1: huh? i totally just zoned out during that.
bureaucrat 2: no i like the name. How about grey on grey for the sign?
bureaucrat 3: subtle...I love it! .....
Just kidding. My fabric stash has grown considerably. I need to stop.
Did I mention that I have an order from Fabric.com in the mail?
