How Do Other Countries do Healthcare? Andrew Heaton, Sally Primus
Mac's Korner: Week of December 27, 2017 Take from a man his wealth, and you hinder him. Take from him his purpose, and you slow him down. But take from man his hope, and you stop him. He can go on without wealth, and even without purpose, for a while. But he will not go on without HOPE. ……. A man called his mother in Florida, "Mom, how are you?" "Not too good," said the mother. "I've been very weak." […]
We're glad you're back with us! We also appreciate your patience since we experienced some issues late Saturday night. Here is what happened (and will try to keep this simple): In the period of three hours in the late hours of Saturday night, we were getting slammed with notifications from our server monitoring software that two of our databases which handle the majority of the website's content were crashing, citing that they had ran out of memory. After roughly 200 […]
Editor's Note: We apologize for the column not getting on the site on time the past couple weeks, but now it's time to catch up. There are three columns that are being written up today, which will be scheduled for today, December 20 and scheduled then for December 27 and January 3. Mac's Korner: Week of December 20, 2017 Ben Franklin once wrote..."Let no pleasure tempt thee, no ambition corrupt thee, no example sway thee, no persuasion move thee to do […]
WINNEKTA (Heartland Newsfeed/Illinois Policy Institute) -- Since 1990, the owners of 671 Lincoln Avenue have paid more than $783,000 in property taxes when adjusting for inflation. It’s a robbery even Kevin McCallister couldn’t prevent. In the small Cook County village of Winnetka, Illinois, sits the filming site of John Hughes’ 1990 Christmas classic, “Home Alone.” Located in New Trier Township, the house is something of a local legend as it made Chicago-area news when it changed owners in 2012. But […]
Too often, discussions about the state of journalism tend to be national-centric. Given differences across markets, this is not surprising. However, there are often more similarities than many people realize. This April, at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, I convened a panel of four experts to explore some of these parallels – and differences – in the realm of local journalism. The State Of Local The past decade has not been challenging for much of the news industry. But, in the […]
(Illinois News Network) -- Illinois celebrated its 199th birthday Dec. 3. The eventual Land of Lincoln first became a state in 1818. Back then, nearly all of Illinois’ fertile prairie was left unsettled. But it seems like Springfield is doing its best to return to that remote state, according to new data from the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS data dump Nov. 30 was a crummy birthday gift. But it underscored the biggest policy problem with which state lawmakers must […]
The first three words of the U.S. Constitution are, “We the People.” The Constitution itself, our institutions of government, the democratic process — all were established to give Americans a voice in their own governance. We are still striving to make that vision real for all, but we are closer than ever. So let me ask you some questions about Congress today. Do you think the voice of ordinary Americans resounds strongly in its hallways and chambers? Can you recall […]
There are times when we know some editorials and letters to the editor are so outrageously ridiculous, they don't even warrant being seen in the public eye, whether online or in your daily newspaper. I've ran into this twice today regarding the same letter to the editor that was submitted this afternoon. A letter to the editor submitted to not only this publication, but also the Free Press-Progress in Nokomis, this afternoon came from Kathy Valente from the Illinois Family […]
Mac's Korner: Week of November 29, 2017 A man staggers into an emergency room with two black eyes and a golf club wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened. "Well, it was like this," said the man. "I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife when she sliced her ball into a pasture of cows." "We went to look for it and while I was rooting around, I noticed one of the […]
