I am looking for recommendations for Orthopedists in Central Illinois (or St.Louis/Chicago) who do total knee replacement.

I am especially interested in:

1. Doctors who have a strong academic background

2. Doctors that are using the latest technology

3. (If known) Doctors who are willing to do a TKR on someone who has a BMI slightly over 40 with a proven track record of weight loss.

I feel pretty fortunate to have received an offer for a State position, but it is a merit comp role. I tried to negotiate for a higher starting salary but they only offered the minimum starting rate.

I am trying to decide if it is still worth accepting given that there is no structured pay progression like in union positions.

I have been applying to union jobs for a while with no success, so this feels like a good opportunity but I am unsure about the long term tradeoffs.

I would really appreciate any advice or experiences from people in merit comp versus union roles.

Does anyone have suggestions for a local fashion consultant? I’m looking to get some new clothes that align with my lifestyle and color palette. Also maybe advice on creating a wardrobe that works well together? Thank you!

hi! im from peoria i was wondering if anyone had any haunted or abandoned cool places with history (or not maybe just abandoned) ive looked on here alot and haven’t really found anything ive been to the flumes,sprigdale,the caves if you know anywhere around peoria,morton,washington,pekin,creve couer, east peoria ,elmwood, chillicothe or anywhere close to those places PLEASE let me know

Really disappointed that I can’t make it to my White Sox vs Cubs game anymore, I have 4 seats for the game which was supposed to be for I, My better half and kids but unfortunately we have a tight schedule. So we would have to pass on this. The seats are for tomorrow Saturday, May 16 & Sunday, 17th.

Seats are together in Section 117 with a great view of the field. I'd much rather sell directly to real fans than deal with resale sites and their crazy fees. I’m flexible if you need just two or all four, and I can transfer them individually through the app. Please reach out if you're interested!

Are there any pizza places that offer Quad City style pizzas around Springfield? Malt dough with a sweeter sauce and cut into strips. Thank you!

Super long shot here, but I am a Terre Haute resident looking for anyone with a Paris or Effingham public library card that would be willing to let me use the numbers on it for a program called Mango Languages. It’s free with those libraries and not Vigo county unfortunately :’) Trying to learn Spanish to help out at my job and Duolingo is the worst.

Obvi I would get a card with those libraries if I could, but I don’t believe I can as a non-resident.

Dear Supporters,

We are imploring you to contact the Illinois Attorney General's Office and request the following information.  Add your name and city, copy and paste to complaint form, email or read into a voicemail.  Contact info at end.  We must make the AG aware that many voices have concerns.
Sincerely,
Tim Herold for Detweiller Playground Protectors

Dear Illinois Attorney General,

Re: Detweiller Playground Trust — Case No. 2025-PR-268, Tenth Judicial Circuit Court

We respectfully request three immediate actions from your office regarding the Detweiller Playground Trust matter:
Advise the Detweiller Playground Trust that the property should not yet be sold or transferred while the Illinois Attorney General reviews newly discovered information.
Deny or oppose any proposed sale of charitable trust property to O’Brien Steel (https://www.obriensteel.com/?utm\_source=chatgpt.com) until that review is complete.
File or support a petition to reopen the court decision in Case No. 2025-PR-268 based on significant new information that was not publicly known or fully considered at the time of approval.
We believe these actions are necessary because serious concerns have emerged involving:
• Potential conflicts of interest involving trustees connected to parties that may financially benefit from the proposed transaction
• Possible fiduciary failures and violations of donor intent tied to preservation of public recreation and river access
• Lack of meaningful notification to affected neighbors, community organizations, and interested parties
• Alleged omissions or inaccuracies presented during the approval process
• Longstanding concerns regarding stewardship of charitable trust assets intended for the people of Peoria
• Concerns that inadequate maintenance, deterioration, or undervaluation of the property may have been used to justify removal of donor restrictions and conversion to industrial use
• Possible breach of fiduciary duty through failure to adequately maintain, preserve, and protect charitable trust assets for their intended public purpose
Of particular concern, FOIA-obtained communications appear to show that even the Assistant Attorney General questioned how aspects of the proposal would satisfy or preserve “donor intent” during communications with the petitioner’s attorney. This raises serious questions about whether the final approval fully addressed those concerns or whether all relevant information was adequately considered before restrictions were removed.
This property was gifted in trust for the benefit of the people of Peoria and future generations. Many residents believe the community was excluded from a process that will permanently impact historic riverfront access, recreation, and charitable trust land.
Concerned residents are in the process of organizing and compiling documentation, FOIA materials, historical records, and public concerns, and are prepared to bring this information to Chicago for further discussion and review with the Attorney General’s office.
Accordingly, we again respectfully request that the Attorney General:
• Prevent or delay any sale or transfer of trust property pending review
• Oppose or deny the proposed sale to O’Brien Steel at this time
• Seek reopening or reconsideration of the court decision based on newly discovered information and public-interest concerns
Thank you for your time, attention, and continued responsibility in protecting charitable trusts and donor intent for the people of Illinois.
Sincerely,
[Name]
[City]
