December 7th and 8th have witnessed several pivotal moments throughout history, each leaving an indelible mark on the world. One of the most consequential events in modern history took place on December 7, 1941, when Japan launched a surprise military strike against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The attack, which resulted in the sinking of multiple battleships and the loss of over 2,400 American lives, marked a turning point in World War II. The day after the attack, President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously declared it “a date which will live in infamy,” prompting the United States to officially enter the war. This event not only changed the course of the war but also significantly impacted international relations and military strategy for decades to come. Fast forward to December 7, 1988, when a catastrophic earthquake struck the Armenian city of Spitak, resulting in a devastating loss of life and widespread destruction. The magnitude 6.8

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV)—both members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation (CST)—applauded the Senate una nimously passing their bipartisan legislation that would help break down unnecessary barriers Americans with disabilities continue to face at Amtrak stations across the country. Building on Duckworth’s All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP) Act , which became law as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and is already helping improve transportation accessibility nationwide, the bipartisan Think DIFFERENTLY Transportation Act would help bring Amtrak stations up to standards enshrined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by requiring the rail agency to submit annual reports to Congress on the status of its compliance with accessibility standards set by the ADA. “When the ADA was signed into law, it promised that intercity passenger

Letter To Editor: “While we are relieved Illinois American Water did not get the rate hike it wanted, we are disappointed that the company still received a significant increase: $110 million. The ICC’s ruling today gives new urgency to CUB’s push to reform a water privatization law that Illinois American Water successfully lobbied for, and now uses to plunder its customers. Illinois American Water has now received $195 million in rate hikes in just two years, and they’ve indicated on earnings calls that they expect the rate hikes to continue. CUB thanks all the Illinois American customers who have spoken out against escalating water bills, and we join them and all private water customers across the state in urging the General Assembly to take action. It’s time for legislators to listen to their pleas.” – said Sarah Moskowitz, Citizens Utility Board (CUB) Executive Director “The ICC’s decision to cut Illinois American Water’s

URBANA — Perennial plants being overwintered in pots are subjected to much harsher conditions compared to those in the soil. Because of this, they can be damaged and killed. Fortunately, there are some steps to try to get these plants through the winter and enjoy them again come spring. Why Take Time to Protect Potted Perennial Plants? So, why take the time to protect potted perennial plants ? Most plants’ roots are far less cold-hardy than their above-ground parts. Usually, this isn’t an issue because the soil will insulate the roots and protect them from extreme cold temperatures. While potted plants may be in a growing media, the amount of media is small and will get much colder than soil in a landscape. Since potted plants’ roots are exposed to colder conditions than those in the ground, it’s a good idea to look for plants that will survive in a hardiness lower than the zone they will grow in. The general rule is to select plants that
