WASHINGTON -- The IRS/tea party scandal is topic number one again today in the nation's capital -- and it's producing all three of today's top reads.
First, The New York Times shows us that in targeting tiny tea party groups for special scrutiny, the IRS let the big fish keep swimming.
Meanwhile, Politico tells us that because of the scandal, the really big political nonprofits are likely to receive even less scrutiny in the future.
And the Times' Nate Silver argues that the IRS scandal could have serious political ramifications in 2014.

Tyler Ulis of Marian Catholic bring the ball down past Joliet West's Carl Terrell. | Patrick Gleason~For Sun-Times Media
The common denominator between No. 23 Joliet West and No. 11 Marian Catholic entering Tuesday night's contest was that both teams' only loss of the season was to No. 5 Homewood-Flossmoor.
The thing that did separate the two during their first meeting since a 2010 regional game was rebounding. And nobody felt the pain of that more than Tigers coach Luke Yaklich after his bigger team lost the rebounding battle and the game, 49-44 in Chicago Heights.
"We outrebounded the bigger H-F team the other night, but couldn't do the same against this smaller Marian team," said Yaklich, whose team lost the battle of the boards 24-16.
The Spartans (6-1) had nine offensive rebounds for 12 second-chance points. They did it in collective fashion with four players — Tyler Ulis, KiJana Crawford, Joshua Cohn, and Kevin Phillips — each finishing with four rebounds. Teammate John Oliver led all rebounders with six.
Ulis, with Kansas State coach Bruce Weber on hand watching his every move, scored 16 of his game-high 21 points in the second half. That included 8-for-8 from the free-throw line on a night his three-point shot was not falling.
"That's what Tyler does late in games," Spartans coach Mike Taylor said. "Our guards have been doing a real good job of rebounding."
Morris Dunnigan led the Tigers (4-2) with 14 points and five rebounds, while Ryan Modiest added 13 and Brandon McCullum chipped in 12.
After a 23-23 first-half tie, the Spartans took the lead for good behind a 13-2 run good for a 36-25 lead. Ulis scored eight of his 10 third-quarter points during the run while Joshua Cohn added a three during the spurt. Cohn finished with 15 points, including nine in the first half to lead all scorers at that point.
"I wasn't shooting well and Joshua came in and stepped it up," Ulis said. "He's been playing well the last couple of games. We knew this was going to be a tight game but we played hard in the end."
The Tigers went on a 9-0 run to pull within 38-36 early in the fourth quarter. But they never recovered from a decisive 11-3 run by the Spartans sparked by six free throws from Ulis and another three by Cohn, his third and final three of the night.
"They outhustled us and deserved the victory tonight," Yaklich said. "They earned it."
For Ulis, having a major Division I coach in attendance is starting to become the norm. Weber has been to several games to look at the highly-touted 5-foot-10 guard, while just last week, Weber's predecessor and first-year Illinois coach John Groce also was in attendance.
Weber had a short conversation with Ulis afterward, telling him, "We'll be watching."
"I didn't know he would be here but I saw him in warm-up," Ulis said. "It doesn't affect my game, he's been to a couple of my games before so I don't care."

This article expands character options by providing new feats and paragon paths for characters with different regional backgrounds. In this installment, we highlight three southern Faerûnian regions that have been vastly altered since the Spellplague -- Akanûl, East Rift, and Tymanther. While the material in this article was written specifically for use in a Forgotten Realms campaign, you can easily adapt it to your own campaign no matter where it's set.
Many years ago, the land now known as Akanûl violently arrived on Toril, plucked from the world known as Abeir. While the Spellplague raged, a portion of the realm called Shyr supplanted the area of western Chessenta. The transported Shyrans, predominantly genasi, threw off the yoke of oppression they had endured while on Abeir and renamed their new home Akanûl.

Text (Security): Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World (paperback) by Bruce Schneier, ISBN: 0471453803
The class covers communications networking and security. Communications and networks drive business and industry and have helped in achieving unforeseen efficiencies. There has been a tremendous growth in related careers in these fields. This class is a capstone class that builds on your previous knowledge from the Business School and provides you with the skills that you need to enter into these fields.
In the first part of the class, you will cover different media types including: fiber optics, twisted pair, and co-axial cables. You will also get an understanding of mobile communication devices including cell phones, satellites, and other handheld devices. In addition, how data is modulated as it goes through different media will be covered.
In the second part of the class, we will discuss network topologies, the OSI/Internet models, and the TCP/IP protocol suite. This module also covers the various architectures used on the Internet, including client-server, P2P, and n-tier architectures. Also covered is network switching and schemes for routing data on the network. Students will have the opportunity to use network simulation tools.
In the third module of the class, vulnerabilities of computer networks and techniques for protecting networks and data are discussed. Basic elements of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, secure e-commerce, involving secure transmission, authentication, digital signatures, digital certificates and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is presented. Issues in privacy, ethics and policies are also discussed where students study and debate controversial topics such as government monitoring technologies. Students go through the process of information security risk analysis through a case study, which consolidates their learning in the modules and hones their critical thinking and analytic skills.
Learning ObjectivesStudents will learn:
ASSESSMENT & GRADINGAll students are expected to follow University at Albany guidelines on academic integrity (see the Academic Integrity section for more detail). If any assignment or project submission contains any material (text, diagrams, code, etc.) generated by others (not on your project team), your submission must clearly cite the source of such material. Failure to cite source material appropriately will be treated as plagiarism. Individuals must work on their own on assignments unless otherwise specified by the professor.
Assignments & Projects - 30%Assignments can be in-class or take-home and will be designated as individual or group assignments depending on the specific assignment. Please see the Assignments section of the course site for further details and guidelines. An example of a project is to perform a risk analysis based on a case or on in organization using the risk analysis methodology presented in the class.
Paper - 10%: The paper should be done in pairs and will focus on a security-related topic. Please make sure that the work is equally divided among the team members. Along with the submission, also list the contributions of each team member. The point of writing a paper is so that you learn to do in-depth research on a topic, think carefully and deeply about the issues, and express your own ideas as clearly as possible. Groups of students will discuss potential topics with the professor on the first day to determine a final paper topic. Please make sure that you see the Projects/Papers section of the course site for further details and guidelines prior to starting on your paper.
Exam I (Duchessi) - 30%: This exam will be an objective type exam that will cover the first third of the class.
Exam II (Goel) - 30%: This exam will consist of multiple sections (essay-style) which will cover the last 2/3 of the class.Notes:

Get ready for a bombshell, Holly Springs.
Three women, fast friends who bonded over golf and beer, are teaming up to form Bombshell Beer Co., a brewing business set to open in September.
According to co-owner Ellen Joyner, the place is the first all-female-owned brewery in the state.
Joyner started making her own craft beer at home about 10 years ago, and co-owner Michelle Miniutti joined her about two years ago. The two, who had met while playing golf years earlier, decided to open a place of their own, and recruited another golfing friend, Jackie Hudspeth, to complete the team.
"We thought having a third person would lead to more success," Joyner said. "We thought the three of us would be a good combination."
Bombshell expects to open the place with beers that include German pilsner, pale ale, Indian pale ale and porter. They will also offer specialty beers, including jalapeno, lemongrass and coconut.
The owners say they want to appeal to a broad beer-drinking audience, one that includes people who might not be into craft beer, by offering lighter brews and beers with fruit and citrus that "a wine drinker might enjoy."
"We are working as a team to develop a lot of the market recipes," Miniutti said. "We are definitely going to do the hoppy, more robust-style beers, and trying to put out a beer for someone who may be new to craft beer."
The trio hired Stephen O'Neill from Church Brew Works in Pittsburgh to be the head brewer and develop creative beers that aren't available at other breweries.
The spot, which will not serve food, will have a 1,500-square-foot tasting room and sell offerings in flights, pints, growlers and kegs. The trio also plans to distribute to area restaurants.
The place is still working on its pricing and occupancy, but hopes to seat around 90.
Bombshell is located at 120 Quantum Drive in Holly Springs.
The second Pop-Up Ice Cream Parlour opened Thursday near downtown Raleigh.
The store will serve locally made ice cream in cups, cones, sundaes and floats.
According to owner Laura Suther, the new shop's hours will be limited to Thursday through Sunday to gauge customer interest.
The original Wilmington Street location is still scheduled to close Aug. 31 when its short-term lease ends. The new place is located at 616 N. Person St., next to PieBird.
Pelican's SnoBalls, a New Orleans-style shaved ice franchise, is opening a Raleigh location Saturday.
The restaurant boasts 100 snow cone flavors, including watermelon, pink bubble gum and wedding cake. The place will have outdoor seating for about 75 customers, and will operate seasonally from April 1 through Oct. 31. If the weather is nice, however, the shop might stay open past Halloween, owner T.G. Rich said.
The Starmount Shopping Center store is at 3304 Capital Blvd., across from Adventure Landing.
In mall news: At Durham's Northgate Mall, Ho-b RC Park, a remote-control model car racing facility, opens Saturday. The 20,000-square-foot place will hold a grand opening Saturday and Sunday. The store is located in Suite 235, next to Sears. … At Cary's Crossroads Plaza, Torrid, a women's plus-size clothing store, has opened at 421 Crossroads Blvd., between RadioShack and HoneyBaked Ham. … Ross, a discount clothing and home décor store, is expected to open this fall at 251 Crossroads Blvd., next to HomeGoods. … At Durham's The Streets at Southpoint, Vans, a footwear, apparel and accessories store, is expected to open this summer. The 2,340-square-foot shop is the company's first Triangle location and will be next to Hot Topic on the upper level. … At North Hills in Raleigh, Chuy's Tex-Mex restaurant is scheduled to open this fall. The chain eatery, which serves items such as burritos, fajitas and margaritas, and features an Elvis shrine at each restaurant, will be a standalone building in the mall's Park District.
Corbett's Burgers and Soda Bar, which features fresh-ground hamburgers and 250 types of bottled soda, has opened at 126 Kilmayne Drive in Cary. … Gone Stitching, a monogram and gift shop, opened at 106 N. Salem St. in Apex.

By GARY POPP
A Floyds Knobs woman was charged with murder in a Jefferson County, Ky., court Thursday.
Jennifer Hack, 28, of Dona Street, plead not guilty to the charge.
Hack is facing the charge in the death of Mikel Kimbley, 26, of Louisville. Hack is believed to have been involved in an assault on Kimbley that took place Oct. 13, according to Louisville Metro Police officials. Kimbley died several days later, officials said.
Hack was taken into custody Wednesday, after a warrant for her arrest had been issued.
According to WDRB FOX-41 reports, Kimbley was found last month bleeding and lying next to a home on Main Street near 25th Street.
He was taken to University of Louisville Hospital.
WDRB reported that police stated Hack was with Darrell Bryan, 33, of Salem, when Kimbley was struck in the head with an unknown object.
Bryan will also be charged in Kimbley's murder, the news channel reported.
Bryan is currently in the Floyd County jail on charges involving an unrelated assault. He was arrested Nov. 3 and later charged with aggravated battery, a class B felony, and false informing, a class B misdemeanor.
Hack is scheduled to return to the court for a pretrial sentence in a Jefferson County court on Nov. 19.
She is being held under a $100,000 full-cash bond.

I retired here in the Seattle area, but I spent the first 8 years of my career stationed in Virginia & Florida. My wife is from New Jersey, so we'd go to the city when we could. Another great example of Mas-Transit in a city is our neighbors just across the border in vancouver, BC. They have the Sky-Train, buses and Prius cabs work off that line and use timed traffic lights to speed them along. (I'm also working on my Masters in Public Administration and Bus Rapid Transit is one of my favorite subjects to work on.

The 2009 ABA Journal Blawg 100
These are the 100 best Web sites by lawyers, for lawyers, as chosen by the editors of the ABA Journal.
Welcome to the third annual ABA Journal Blawg 100 - the best legal blogs as selected by the Journal's editors.
Our readers clued us in to a few law blogs we'd never seen before, and you'll find them among the 40 blawgs that are new to our list this year.
For a list of all 100 blawgs, complete with their companion Twitter feeds and extra quick takes, click here.
Readers who registered with ABAJournal.com were able to pick up to 10 favorite blawgs in the 10 categories below.
Click here for FAQ about the Blawg 100 and voting.
Voting is now closed.
News: There's everything here from hard news coverage of the law and the legal industry to a more tabloid-oriented, infotainment approach to covering lawyers and where they work.
Above the Law
In a Supreme Ambitions post this fall, David Lat summed up the blog he founded in this way: "Above the Law ... covers the legal profession at large, in a sweeping, high/low mix—from the heights of the U.S. Supreme Court to the depths of disgraced and depraved attorneys." That pretty much nails it. We'll also note that ATL has added directories of law schools, law firms and recruiters this year, as well as a few new columnists.
Law Blog
Wall Street Journal reporters team up here to cover and analyze newly released court decisions affecting the business community, major trials, quirky business litigation, breaking law firm news and interviews with big players. It's an invaluable resource.
The Am Law Daily
With a team of reporters on tap and supported by a network of legal publications, Am Law Daily covers the happenings at the country's largest law firms, from firm finances and business models to the latest lateral moves and partner defections.
FP Legal Post
The financial section of Canada's National Post points readers north and south of the border to legal news they might otherwise have overlooked. Although the blog's mission statement also includes "gossip," many posts focus on deals, litigation, ethics, lawyer pay, firm management issues and legislation.
LexisNexis Legal News & Litigation Report
For audio enthusiasts, LexisNexis Legal News offers a free way via podcast to get a daily dose of legal news and case activity updates.
Jurist—Paper Chase
Stories here never lack for sources, always linking to original reports, legal documents and information on the people making news. Check out this site for frequent updates on the courts' treatment of Guantanamo detainees.
Legal Blog Watch
Legal Blog Watch has a knack for spotlighting the legal news of the weird. Posts are well-written and, as Lowering the Bar blogger Kevin Underhill says, "very witty and always interesting."
Law Shucks
Law Shucks is more than the legal tabloid it professes to be, and it quickly rose to the top of our list this year. It focuses on life in and after BigLaw. A hallmark of the site is the Layoff Tracker, which is increasingly being relied upon as the definitive countdown of how many attorneys have been laid off in the U.S. and U.K.
The BLT: The Blog of Legal Times
This blog is indispensable to us for its exhaustive District of Columbia coverage: from happenings at the U.S. Supreme Court (and news about individual justices) to rulings from the District of Columbia Circuit to BigLaw churn in the Beltway.
How Appealing
As Nicholas Wagoner from Circuit Splits points out, Howard Bashman not only continues to churn out links on this appellate news-watch blog but also points readers to high-quality reporting on the subject. Bashman, practicing out of Willow Grove, Pa., also sends readers directly to federal and state court opinions so they can brush up on the latest appellate news from original sources.
Bench Memos
Bench Memos is the National Review Online's critical look at judges, jurisprudence and constitutional authority from a largely politically conservative perspective. A mainstay of the blog is "This Day in Liberal Judicial Activism," a series primarily authored by Ed Whelan.
Law & Disorder
Law & Disorder is the fast-paced, first-on-the-scene legal blog from the technology website Ars Technica. Posts track developments in Internet law and policy in the U.S. and abroad.

Animal Rescue R Us took Leroy from a kill shelter in the south. He arrived a sweet, 4 month old puppy with a slight limp. Christina was worried about this, so she took him to the vet's the next day.
Later, Xrays would show that a bullet had pierced Leroy's leg. It is uncomfortable for Leroy, and at times, very painful when he walks. We need to fundraise another $2200 before we can take Leroy in for surgery.
We truly appreciate all the help we can get for Leroy from the community. He's in serious pain and we can't do it without you.
The pet hospital estimated cost will be $2500-$3000. We are going to fundraise and do whatever is needed to get this done. We added a Chip In if anyone can donate $1, $5 anything, we truly appreciate it all. Our goal is to get this done within a month so Leroy wont be in pain anymore. Please spread the word. Thank you. http://animalrescuerus.chipin.com/leroy-leg-surgery

WINDHAM — A driver transporting roofing shingles in his 2004 gold Jeep Liberty died in an accident on Interstate 93 North last night after losing control of his vehicle and crashing into a guard rail.
State Police said Donald Galligan, 54, of Weare, N.H., was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which occurred shortly after 7 p.m. about one mile north of Exit 3. Police said Galligan wasn't wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the demolished vehicle.
"The preliminary investigation indicates that a male driver could not maintain control of his vehicle due to the fact that it was overloaded with roofing shingles," State Police said in a press release about the crash.
"As a result his vehicle crashed into the left side guardrail, veered to the right across both lanes of travel, then veered back to the left crashing into the left side guardrail again at which time the operator was ejected from the vehicle."
Troopers from New Hampshire State Police, Troop B and emergency crews from the Windham Fire Department responded to the crash in the area of the Windham scales.
Both of the I-93 Northbound lanes were closed and traffic was directed through the northbound scales for about three hours while the scene was cleared. Anyone with information about this accident is asked to call Trooper James Powers at NH State Police Troop-B at 603-223-4381.

This cake is very delicious, moist, and not to mention absolutely beautiful. The tartness of the cranberries, the crunchiness of the nuts, and sweetness of the gooey topping complement each other extremely well. I did make adjustments though.For the topping ingredients, I chose to chop a few of the cranberries in half so it would cover the bottom of the pan more evenly. I used a mix of crumbled pecans, walnuts, and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds instead of using only pecans. I didn't have enough sour cream to fill 1 cup, so I used 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup vanilla yogourt which worked just as well. I used an 8" springform pan, and because it is slightly smaller in diameter compared to the average 9" pan that most people used, I knew I had to increase the baking time a little bit. Also, according to some reviews, 60min was not long enough to fully bake the cake, and 350 degrees was too high. From this info, I baked my cake at 325 degrees for around 75-80min and it came out perfect and even. For this cake, I'd definitely recommend using a pan no bigger than 9" because it's a pretty short cake. In the future I will continue using an 8" or maybe even a 7" pan. For me, this cake took quite a bit of prep and baking time, but it's definitely worth the trouble and wait. When serving, I decorated each slice with a light sprinkle of toasted coconut, and a dallop of whipped cream on the side.
This cake looks very impressive!!! I give it five stars for its appearance and four stars for its taste. I say just forget about wrapping the springform pan in foil. My foil sprung a leak! It would be much better to slip a foil-lined cookie sheet under the pan itself. Much easier and more foolproof.
I cannot believe I did rate this recipe. Everyone loved it. My aunt made it with walnuts and she said it was delicious. I didn't change anything in the recipe, and it was great. My husband did ask for a little more cranberries next time though. I always wrap the springform pan in alum. paper and set it on a pan. I also found that putting a square of parchment paper at the bottom of the pan (bigger so that the edges are outside the pan in between the bottom and the round) prevent any leakage.

— It might be easy with the Libertarian movement we've seen via Ron Paul and others of late for Americans to question our involvement and interests in the Middle East, particularly with Israel and the Palestinians.
But we've long had a history of partnership with Israel, one of the few and oldest Mideast democracies. Obviously, it's in the U.S. interest to have stability in a region from which we import much of the oil that fuels our economy. U.S. trade of all kinds is growing in a part of the world that offers new markets for American goods.
But helping to broker Middle East peace is also just the right thing to do.
By some accounts, we've got some catching up to do. Some critics of the Obama and George W. Bush administrations argue Mideast peace hasn't had the necessary attention from the U.S. for nearly 12 years. That criticism may ring true given U.S. resources were tried and tested and strained with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Now that both are winding down, we should be able to give our allies some hope that we are willing to devote time and resources to this longtime conflict that threatens many other nations as well.
The willingness of both sides to negotiate is a good starting point. Previous talks and agreement have even laid out some preliminary plans for splitting up disputed territory. It's a job that some might say is halfway finished.
But unfortunately, due to our lack of attention or not, things seem to have escalated. Palestinian political group Hamas has somehow figured out how to have more accurate rockets and several have reached the key Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The political tide in Israel also seems a bit more militant and therefore there is less resistance to unleashing a ground war.
As the threats rise, U.S. intervention becomes more important.
An Israeli-Palestinian peace accord would go a long way to stabilizing all of the Middle East. We know there are more issues of stability popping up everywhere from Cairo to Libya and Syria.
Now is not the time to be pulling back our diplomatic strength and social capital.

What did you serve for dessert this Thanksgiving?
With so much attention given to the bird, stuffing and cranberry sauce, dessert might be forgotten. However, some families still adhere to old recipes and labor all day to make a homemade pie.
Some bakers are becoming really creative in mixing and mashing desserts, such as the Cherpumple, a monster pie-cake with apple, pumpkin and cherries.
Canton Patch wants to know what dessert you enjoyed the most this year? Tell us in the comment section below!

More often, the things around us are made up of different atoms that have been joined together. This is called chemical bonding. Chemical bonding is one of the most important processes in chemistry because it allows all sorts of different molecules and combinations of atoms to form, which then make up the objects in the complex world around us.

andre1969 Posts: 21,851The Chevy smallblock also ended up being overly heavy. Low reciprocating mass, yes, but the entire engine was still pretty chunky. The reason for this is that the original design was too fragile, so instead of just redesigning it correctly, they just sort of added bracing here and there, after the fact. Supposedly they tended to be weak in the bottom end...crankshaft area and such, even after the beefing up.
The latest issue (October '09) of Collectible Automobile has an article that speculates on what the 2010 Packards would be like if the company had survived. The article is entitled "Packard for 2010." I've wondered what the models of the domestic independent auto makers would be like today. Anyway, the article is an entertaining fantasy. For example, it speculates that the top models would feature a V12 engine.
berri Posts: 4,141
I agree with your comment about the V12 engine, and was about to include words to that effect with my message, but then decided to not include my personal opinion. Even though this is a fantasy article, it's difficult to exclude real world considerations from your thoughts.
On your second point, since this is just a fantasy, I'd prefer to let my fantasy of the 2010 Packard remain similar to what it actually was; a brand that a not-so-small number of upper-medium and luxury car buyers would choose. Kind of like Lexus.
That might be a reasonable dream. Packard was always a very conservative company. Never took big chances but always refined what it already knew how to do. I only commented on the V12 because I was wondering how the magazine could be so out of touch with reality in 2010--but then, they were just "dreaming", so they have a right to spin that any way they want.
For most luxury car buyers, over engineering is a positive. For me it's a negative. I appreciate the high quality, luxury, style and driving dynamics associated with luxury models, but don't care for excessive features, some of which detract from, rather than enhance, the driving experience. The new German luxury brands have gone beyond my needs and desires in terms of features. What would get me to take out my wallet would be a decontented A-4, 3-Series or 5-Series, or C or E-Class. Keep the basic quality and goodness, but spare me such things as backup-up and lane change alerts, to name just two of many things I'd delete. I'm not holding my breath.
Amenities can be fun, but they have to be durable and reliable. Nobody likes a car with a defective air suspension or goofy electronics.
An interesting new MB would be this - E-class size, high output diesel, manual, high quality cloth or Tex interior, manual windows and seats, maybe a manual sunroof - kind of like a new old car. But given MBs marketing schemes, especially in NA - it's a pipe dream.
I don't mind manual windows - but they have to be a quick crank ratio, no more than 3 from up to down. MB has always had a few issues with power windows - at least through the W210, where regulators are not 100% reliable. If new ones have that solved, I am all for them - esp one touch up and down.
I don't see a return to a 4cyl C until higher output small engines are in production.

As the city's Department for Culture and Creative Development presented its side of the argument in the ongoing discussion about La Villita Tuesday, tenants in the historic arts district sighed and shook their heads.
They are angry about a proposal by San Antonio city staff to change the structure of the village, which would call for evicting most of the businesses currently located on the city-owned grounds of La Villita.
Military cyber security specialists are becoming a welcome part of the civilian workforce, and now there's a training opportunity in San Antonio for veterans and military members who may be headed in an entrepreneurial direction.
It wasn't so long ago that few had heard about cyber security, but it suddenly rocketed into reality for a broad cross section of shoppers after the recent data breach at Target stores.
But military cyber security specialists have done this work for decades, and their high level of expertise is highly marketable once they become veterans.
The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center is reviving an old tradition called "La Carpa Guadalupe." La carpa is "the tent," and the event is like a traveling tent show.
"It's a traveling exhibition that's going to have different showings here in San Antonio," said Haydeé Muñoz de la Rocha, curator assistant at the Guadalupe. "It's emulating the tradition of the early tent shows of the early 1920s. It's a very interesting tradition that the Mexican-American culture has. They were usually owned by families."
This week Democratic and Republican candidates for governor Wendy Davis and Greg Abbott both launched separate online efforts to reach Latino voters.
Abbott's online campaign ad details how multiculturalism works for a modern-day Texas. The ad features Abbott's mixed-race family.
"You look at my family, you see a family that is so typical of families across the State of Texas. We're both Anglo and Hispanic, as well as Irish. We're Catholic, we're Protestant but we're all one family. The idea is that multiculturalism works in the State of Texas."
Tesla Motors determines where it will manufacture the massive batteries that power their cars, and Texas is in the final four. But many question whether or not Texas' regulations keeping the company from creating dealerships that can sell directly to consumers will also keep the company from bringing the 6500 high-paying jobs that this factory—the "Gigafactory," as they call it-- would promise.
Jasmine Guy has acted on several hit TV shows, but now she's doing something different.
"Well I'm very excited to be coming to San Antonio for this show," she said.
Guy is an actor, singer, and dancer and now she's coming to the Carver Cultural Center for "Raisin' Cane, what she described as "an odyssey of the Harlem Renaissance."
That Harlem Renaissance was a short-lived but very noteworthy period for art in Harlem.
"1919 to 1929," Guy said.
City leaders are in the middle of talks about a possible ban on single-use plastic bags in the Alamo City. While the debate lingers on, city staff members have come up with several options they will present a council committee with in April.
Among the choices are:
State Rep. Jason Villalba, R-Dallas, stopped through San Antonio on a statewide speaking tour, hoping to make an impact with Latino voters that will help keep Republicans in the majority.
Villalba's message is that the Republican party faces a major challenge with its outreach and engagement of Latino voters.
A new exhibit at the Institute of Texan Cultures captures San Antonians at their quirkiest. That exhibit is called Hats Off to Fiesta. I spoke to Diana Luis, who is a curatorial researcher at the ITC.
"Hats Off to Fiesta is pretty much a celebration of the different types of hats that individuals wear during Fiesta season" she explained. "Individuals show off their creative sides by adorning themselves with these amazing pieces of art on top of their heads."
The group called Lo'Jo was started in 1982 in Angers, France. The founders, Denis Pean and Richard Bourreau, continue to remain actively engaged with Richard playing the violin and kora and Denis the singer and keyboardist.

Roy Rogers Collectibles Tauted as The Internets #1 Source for Classic Roy Rogers Memorabilia
The "King of The Cowboys" lives! http://prlog.org/10922957 .Roy Rogers has captivated the hearts and minds of his fans for over 70 years.
"Roy Rogers was everyone's image of what a cowboy should be, from his white Stetson with its silver hatband to his hand-tooled boots. His face was strong and handsome with eyes that squinted yet still showed a twinkle. His smile was warm and reassuring. Whether he was wearing fringed Western wear or a checkered cowboy shirt, he was the epitome of what a cowboy should be. He was the picture of honesty and integrity. And was there ever a more exciting sight than watching Roy and Trigger riding majestically across the television screen or a rodeo arena? No wonder three generations of kids (and adults) wanted to be like Roy Rogers. We wanted to look like Roy, dress like Roy, and be as honest and forthright as Roy." states Laurence Zwisohn.
Is it any wonder Roy Rogers and Dale Evans are popular all over again? Never forgotten by their true fans, the King of the Cowboys and the Queen of the West have come to symbolize a dearly remembered era when pop culture was clean and decent and you got to be a celebrity because you were a good guy.
For many Americans who yearn to return to a sense of moral balance missing now from public life, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans represent the best of the West and its ideals. Now, the best of those ideals have been given a platform where thousands of adoring fans can experience Rogers and Evans for the very first time or take the nostalgic journey down memory lane that never has to end!
http://www.RoyRogersCollectibles.com was created for such a journey. Receiving more than 2400 unique searches a month, RoyRogersCollectibles.com is now the Internets #1 source for Roy Rogers history and memorabilia, and reminds fans both young and old that the legendary "King Of The Cowboys" STILL LIVES!

The general idea of the flavors (potatoes/BlueCheese) sounded great, but the recipe is ALL WRONG. Should probably be around 3T. Butter and 3T. Flour and NOT 1/2 cup of each. That would make a very thick sauce, or if cooked for 20 minutes, I would think a brick. I started the recipe not realizing the measurements and ended up making around a triple batch. The recipe has you cooking the flour for 5 minutes and then after adding the flour, cooking an additional 20 minutes. I think the person making the recipe just meant it to be 2 cups of a white sauce and then add blue cheese. If I make this again, I would do as above (probaby use 2C milk instead of 1/2 cream), and also add onion to the butter or maybe onion powder. If you add too many seasonings I could see them taking away the mild flavor of the blue cheese (which will be mild once mixed with potatoes). Altogether, I like the idea of adding blue cheese for something totally different than what we would normally cook, but the recipe is totally wrong. I felt I wasted a lot of Blue Cheese on my first try, which is considered a luxury food in our household. I am leaving a 2 star review just for the unique idea of this dish. What a clever idea of adding Blue Cheese to potatoes. Made my mouth water just thinking about it.
*Deserves 5 stars because this is the BEST recipe to build upon!!* Choose a high quality Blue cheese. I sauted 2 garlic cloves and 3 shallots in the butter before adding the flour(reduced by 2 tbs.) and cooked for only one minute before adding a pint of half and half. I thinnnnly sliced RAW potatoes and lightly salt and peppered them before pouring over my sauce and crumbs. I baked at 350 for about an hour in a covered, ungreased pan. Great recipe, Judy!
I give the recipe 2 stars, but my results were definitely 5 star. I had to make way too many changes to it. Just looking at the recipe, you can tell something's not right. For one thing, 1/2 cup each of butter and flour is WAY too much roux for just 2 cups of liquid. My bechamel would have been a brick! Additionally, this recipe needed flair. It has practically no flavoring except the blue cheese. So I sauteed some garlic and Herbs de Provence with the butter to infuse it with a little seasoning (I'm sure any other herbs you like would be fine) before I added the flour and liquids. I doubled the amount of blue cheese, added Kosher salt to taste, a hit of white pepper, and just a pinch of nutmeg to give it that little something that makes you go "Hmm." Remember to always TASTE your sauce and correct the seasonings as necessary. It's too late once your food comes out of the oven! I had a pouch of Simply Potatoes hash browns on hand, so I stirred those into the sauce instead of having to cook the potatoes first, and it made things MUCH easier on me. Topped off the casserole with panko bread crumbs, and the results were mouthwatering. So, 2 stars for a decent starting point, but I definitely had to change it to make it interesting.

By Cindy Griebeler
With winter fast approaching in the Cleveland area, homeowners are busy closing up their homes in anticipation of the cold weather and snow. But before the winter hibernation begins, some annual maintenance needs to be performed to ensure your home is ready for winter's blast.
There are certain things homeowners should do annually at this time of year to make sure their home isn't damaged by a harsh winter and to lower their energy bills and increase their indoor comfort.
In addition to storing outdoor furniture, putting in storm windows and cranking up the snow blower, there are three additional key areas homeowners should focus on to prepare for winter:
1. Gutters and Downspouts – Make sure gutters and downspouts are free of leaves and other debris and are properly aligned to allow melting snow and ice to drain and help avoid ice dams.
2. Windows and Doors – One of the best ways to eliminate cold drafts and lower energy bills is to caulk around all the windows and make sure the weather stripping is sufficient around any entry doors and door walls. This will ensure that the home's heat stays in the home and decreases your energy bill and increases your indoor comfort.
3. Furnace/Humidifier – Make sure you change your furnace filter and keep extras on hand so you can change them once a month to improve your furnaces air flow and keep the dust down in your home. Then clean or change the pad in the humidifier and make sure the water valve is turned on.
Even though we have already started to experience winter weather, there is still time to do some preventative maintenance around the home to ensure you won't have to worry about bigger problems when we really get blasted by the weather.
