Stuffed peppers (or shooters, as some call them) have been banned from the tailgate after too many losses.

HEAVENLY HOMES: Old church priory becomes affordable apartments

For nearly a century, Dominican friars made their home in the former St. Anne's Church priory at 818 Middle St. Today, the historic granite and marble three-story residence is about to be reborn as St. Dominic's Apartments, an affordable housing complex for the over-62 set. St. Dominic's, named for the friars who lived there, will have 18 one-bedroom apartments for seniors who meet eligibility requirements outlined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Four units are handicapped accessible. Tenants will pay no more than 30 percent of their income in rent, and heat and hot water are included. "It's for singles and couples," said Ed Allard, project manager for Community Action for Better Housing, which is co-sponsoring the project with Catholic Social Services. Construction on the building began a year ago and has been substantial, costing $4.5 million.

Rod Blagojevich announced two programs he hopes will stem the tide. The first is that 15 Illinois housing assistance organizations, including the Rockford coalition, have joined a Statewide Foreclosure Prevention Network. The network will provide free counseling to families struggling with mortgage payments. If the telephone assistance isn't enough, the caller will be referred to the closest housing assistance agency.

Marketers-in-chief in Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics and Daewoo Electronics are confused. Although their strategies for stronger marketing activities that they began in 2006 made fruitful results in last year, they cannot make clear prediction over the market situation for this year.

In the electronic goods market, the competition is getting fierce. Display and IT products are becoming so cheaper that they cannot guarantee higher profit.
