The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune on Rwanda's turnaround:
It has been 20 years since the genocide that took as many as a million lives and left Rwanda in ruins. So it is illuminating that a new report shows that life expectancy in the formerly splintered African nation has doubled in that time.
The development reveals what can happen when murderous, corrupt regimes are replaced with leadership focused on maintaining peace and improving living conditions.
Harvard professor Paul Farmer, along with Rwandan health experts, just published a study of the life expectancy data in The Lancet, the world's most prestigious medical journal.
"In the aftermath of one of the worst spasms of mass violence in recorded history, few imagined that Rwanda might one day serve as a model for other nations committed to health equity," their report notes.
The 1994 genocide, carried out chiefly by the country's Hutus against their rival Tutsis, killed nearly 20 percent of the nation's population and displaced millions more.
One particularly horrible statistic to emerge from the genocide: Half a million women were raped during the fighting, and up to 20,000 children were born as a result.
That was then. The story now goes far beyond the life expectancy data, which obviously were going to improve somewhat once the mass killings ended.
In Rwanda today, the genocide -- while it will never be forgotten -- has been put aside as the victims and the perpetrators join hands in a remarkable effort to build a better nation.
Investment in Rwanda has nearly tripled since 2005, and although it lacks many natural resources, the country has become economically vibrant.
Moreover, most of the population is covered by health insurance, and malaria deaths have fallen more than 85 percent since 2005. The crime rate is low, and Rwandan women can now safely walk the streets at night.
If this kind of reconciliation and revival can happen in a forlorn corner of the world like Rwanda, couldn't it also happen in other places?
In fact, it has happened elsewhere: Just last week, Michael D. Higgins became the first president of Ireland to ever visit Britain's Parliament and be received by Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle.
Given the bloody history of Ireland's conflicts with the United Kingdom, it is encouraging the two sides are on friendly terms.
And although it took 20 years to overcome the horrors of Rwanda's genocide, we can only hope that the reconciliation, like that between Ireland and Great Britain, offers similar hope to other troubled parts of the world.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on U.S. military activities in Africa:
The Defense Department's Africa Command, created in 2008, continues to expand U.S. military activities in Africa, now in at least 18 countries.
The operations are taking place in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, Djibouti (which hosts a major U.S. base), Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Mali, Niger, Senegal, the Seychelles, Somalia, South Sudan, Togo, Tunisia and Uganda. The United States has operated drones out of Djibouti, Ethiopia, Niger and the Seychelles. A U.S.-trained officer led a coup d'etat in Mali in 2012.
Last month, a U.S. Special Operations force commandeered a tanker in international waters that Libyan rebels were attempting to use to export Libyan oil for their own profit. The armed intervention was carried out at the request of the shaky Libyan government and responded to the desires of American oil companies operating in Libya. A parallel use of U.S. military forces to protect the assets of American oil companies is the guard function they carry out on a pipeline in Colombia, South America.
In March, President Barack Obama authorized the insertion of U.S. forces into Central Africa to aid the Ugandan military in what have been unsuccessful efforts to track down the Lord's Resistance Army of Joseph Kony. This action was taken in spite of previous failures to trap the LRA and public criticism of the Ugandan government of President Yoweri Museveni for a law that its legislature has passed and he has signed that is sharply discriminatory against homosexuals.
It is difficult to argue that America has important strategic interests in any of these countries. Absent the agreement of any African nation to the establishment of a U.S. Africa Command headquarters on its soil, it remains based in Stuttgart, Germany.
It is hard to fathom why U.S. military activity is on the rise in Africa, but it may be driven to a degree by Pentagon fears that its budget will be cut in the post-Iraq and post-Afghanistan era, now that Americans are tired of distant wars. The problem is the activity is expensive -- planned expansion of the Djibouti base alone is estimated to cost $750 million -- and it risks involving the United States in unnecessary military adventures. Someone needs to "red pencil" the expansion before it proceeds further.

Las Vegas Review-Journal on Obamacare's true numbers being a revealing failure:
On the afternoon of April 1, President Barack Obama pulled out the pom-poms and assumed the role of cheer captain at the White House Rose Garden to celebrate the great Obamacare victory. The Affordable Care Act had reached its purported goal of 7 million sign-ups, and by the March 31 deadline, no less.
Not 7 million paid consumers. Not 7 million who were previously uninsured, which we were told was the primary objective of the law. Just 7 million people who at least chose a plan via healthcare.gov or the state exchanges.
It was fitting that this pep rally was held on April Fool's Day.
The Obama administration continues to demonstrate an extreme lack of transparency on the president's signature legislation, particularly with regard to paid enrollment and the number of sign-ups who were previously uninsured.
The sad truth about Obamacare: It largely has resulted in a churning of the insured. The law forced the cancellation of coverage for millions of people, who were then forced to buy a new, more expensive, Obamacare-compliant policy. An extensive study released Tuesday by Rand Corp. backs that up, estimating that only about one-third of exchange sign-ups were previously uninsured.
The Rand study also estimates that, through March 28, 3.9 million people were covered through the federal and state Obamacare exchanges. That's not exactly 7.1 million. Granted, the study doesn't include a deadline surge of enrollees, but if it took from Oct. 1 until March 28 to get 3.9 million sign-ups, it stands to reason that there is no way an additional 3.2 million signed up between March 28 and March 31.
As for paid enrollees, Forbes.com's Avik Roy used the Rand study and a report last month from management consulting firm McKinsey to determine that 76 percent of those who have paid their first month's premium were previously insured, while just 24 percent were previously uninsured. A separate Forbes report estimates that 15 to 20 percent of enrollees haven't paid. It's safe to assume that many Americans who visited an exchange and selected a plan left it in their online shopping cart with no intention of ever purchasing it because the premiums, deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs were astronomical.
This was not what was promised. As Roy rightly notes, the Congressional Budget Office, in its original estimates, predicted that the vast majority of those eligible for subsidies on the exchanges would be previously uninsured individuals. Instead, the vast majority are previously insured people. The only notable achievement of Obamacare thus far is the expansion of Medicaid (5.9 million added, per Rand), which could have been accomplished without the law.
For Americans who had become uninsurable because of disease or a debilitating condition, Obamacare is working. Now they can get health insurance at a reasonable price. But Congress could have helped these people obtain coverage without ruining health care for everybody else.
Yet the celebration goes on. With the dubious sign-up goal of 7 million reached, President Obama immediately latched onto the idea that vindication is here, debate is over and repeal is unworthy. The reality is that the Obama administration has made health insurance dramatically more expensive while reducing choice and not substantially reducing the number of uninsured. That's worth repeal right there. No fooling.

Kansas City Star on Kathleen Sebelius helping create a fairer health system:
By agreeing to serve as President Barack Obama's health and human services secretary five years ago, Kathleen Sebelius assumed a front-and-center role in a historical effort.
Presidents since Harry S. Truman have tried to end the moral injustice that left millions of Americans without access to affordable health care. Obama and the Democrats in Congress, who at the time controlled both chambers, had a mission and an opportunity to change the system.
Sebelius left the Kansas governor's office to become a part of it. Her role in getting the Affordable Care Act up and running was never easy, and it would become excruciating. But Sebelius, who resigned her post on Friday, contributed a great deal toward creating a fairer and better health care system for America.
Obama tapped Sebelius because she'd been insurance commissioner in Kansas and she'd succeeded as a Democratic governor in a state as Republican as they come.
But Sebelius had the good fortune in Kansas to work with a Legislature populated at least in part by moderate Republicans who were willing to work with her for the good of the state.
Washington was different. For five years, the top priority of Republicans in Congress and in many state legislatures has been to sabotage the president's health care law.
States refused to create their own insurance exchanges, leaving the Health and Human Services Department with a bigger job than had been envisioned. Congressional Republicans refused to release money to properly promote the marketplaces.
None of that excuses the epic website debacle that nearly derailed the entire health care law. The online insurance marketplace that was a centerpiece of the Affordable Care Act barely worked for a full two months.
As Kansas governor, Sebelius was a wonkish, detail-oriented executive. But she lost control of the development of HealthCare.gov, the insurance marketplace. The wrong people were in charge, lines of authority were unclear and too much was required in too short a time.
Sebelius either didn't realize the extent of the problems or she downplayed them to Obama. Both scenarios are equally bad.
The turnaround of HealthCare.gov has been as dramatic as its crash. By the March 31 deadline, enrollment in the insurance exchanges exceeded expectations. ...
After catching blame for the failure, Sebelius received little credit for the success. The White House staff that engineered the turnaround had little use for Sebelius and her team.
It was time for the secretary to leave. Obama's choice of Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell to replace Sebelius indicates his desire to have a proven manager in charge as health care reform progresses. She is a good choice, and Congress should speedily confirm her.
As for Sebelius, history will treat her efforts more kindly than the headlines that are accompanying her departure. Recollections of the blank screens and error messages that marred the roll-out of HealthCare.gov will fade in time, and Americans will focus on what matters.
Thanks in part to her work, millions of Americans can see a doctor and deal with serious medical problems without fear of financial ruin. Insurance policies can't be canceled when a consumer becomes seriously ill or reaches a lifetime limit on treatment. Hospitals are reducing errors and controlling costs.
Getting kids insured has always been a priority for Sebelius. So it's fitting that her resignation should come at the same time as a report showing the uninsured rate for children dropped 2.2 percentage points while she was in office, to 7.5 percent. That piece of good news makes for a very satisfying sendoff.

Wall Street Journal on Scotland's nuclear dodge:
Proponents of Scottish independence have made the removal of nuclear-armed British submarines from Scotland's waters a centerpiece of their campaign ahead of a Sept. 18 referendum. In Edinburgh, anti-nuclear politics reign.
Since the days of the Cold War, the Royal Navy has operated submarines armed with ballistic nuclear missiles out of Faslane, a base on the river Clyde, 25 miles northwest of Glasgow. Trident missiles are also stored at a Royal Navy armaments depot near Coulport village, 2 miles west of the Faslane base.
The left-wing, pro-independence Scottish National Party views the Trident as a symbol of British imperialism. "For decades we have been part of a Westminster system that has sought to project global power," the SNP's pro-independence white paper says. "Trident is an affront to basic decency with its indiscriminate and inhumane destructive power."
Should the Scottish people vote to leave the United Kingdom, the SNP says, the Trident subs will have to be removed from Scotland's waters by 2020. SNP leaders seem to be indifferent to the practical headaches and up to £20 billion in estimated costs London will have to bear to relocate a fleet of nuclear submarines.
An independent Scotland, the SNP argues, can still join NATO as a non-nuclear member no longer obliged to host strategic weapons. Yet NATO is a nuclear alliance, and the SNP position is a classic case of freeloading: The party wants Scotland to enjoy the benefits of the British and Western nuclear deterrent without having to bear its historical responsibility for maintaining it.
On Tuesday, Russia test-fired the RS-24, a new ICBM that, according to the Russian media, "can carry multiple, independently targetable nuclear warheads designed to evade missile defense systems to a range of 12,000 kilometers." The SNP may imagine that the need for nuclear deterrence is a thing of the past, but sober people shouldn't. The SNP's nuclear dodge is another reason, if more were needed, for voters to reject its feckless politics.

Khaleej Times, Dubai, on recent ruling by U.S. Supreme Court:
The latest ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, striking down "aggregate limits" relating to political campaign funding has led to a complete reversal of contribution laws, enacted in the aftermath of Watergate to prevent rich Americans from buying votes.
The Supreme Court in McCutcheon v Federal Election Commission struck down the overall limits on campaign contributions, though it did not touch the limit (of $2,600 per election) on individual contributions to Presidential or Congressional candidates.
Led by chief justice John Roberts and four other conservative judges, the court said the overall limits intrude on a citizen's ability to exercise the most fundamental First Amendment activity. Justice Clarence Thomas, the most conservative member of the court, said he would have gone further and removed all restrictions on political contributions.
Critics have, however, slammed the judgment arguing that this would encourage political corruption on an unheard of scale. Justice Stephen Breyer, one of the four dissenting judges, warned that the ruling "eviscerates our nation's campaign finance laws." Campaign finance reforms were introduced in the US in the early 1970s following the Watergate scandal, to reduce the role of big money in elections.
The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1972 required that candidates must disclose the source of contributions and campaign expenditures. Later, statutory limits were imposed on contributions and the FEC was established. Over the decades, laws relating to campaign funding have been tweaked with limits set on donations.
An individual cannot give more than $2,600 to any candidate in an election, which meant a maximum of $5,200 (for the primaries and general election). An aggregate limit for individual contributions of $48,600 was also fixed for donations to all candidates. A higher aggregate limit of $74,600 was set for contributions to national party committees or political action committees (PACs). The aggregate limit for all contributions was $123,200.
But the latest Supreme Court judgment renders this limit meaningless, as it removes the aggregate limit on donations to PACs. And while there are limits on how much a PAC can give to a candidate, no limits on the number of PACs exist. Unfortunately, the US Supreme Court has, in a series of judgments in recent years, diluted America's tough laws relating to political contributions and preventing the influence of big money.

The Australian on vote on enhanced status for the Palestinian Authority:
Former foreign minister Gareth Evans's claims about dire consequences for Australia had we voted against enhanced status for the Palestinian Authority at the UN in November 2012 are overblown.
At the launch of Bob Carr's Diary of a Foreign Minister, Evans claimed that if Julia Gillard had not been rolled on the issue Australia would have suffered from the worst foreign policy decision in a generation.
A "no" vote against observer status for the Palestinians, he said, would have isolated us "from every friend we had in the world apart from the US and Israel" and "mortally wounded our credibility and effectiveness on the UN Security Council".
Like Carr, Evans is no slouch when it comes to self-belief. But there is nothing to support his hyperbole. The US voted no and has not suffered the opprobrium Evans outlined. Palestinian leaders have continued close contacts with the Obama administration, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas again in the Oval Office last month. Canada, a close ally of Australia, also voted no and has suffered no retaliation.
Almost 18 months on, Carr's intervention to block the no vote looks no better informed. The case against the UN resolution was that it would do nothing to enhance negotiations for a two-state solution and foster the delusion that the Palestinians can win statehood through the back door via a UN vote rather than talking with Israel. The vote was a con. After all the grand pronouncements, it has not improved the lot of the Palestinians.
Wisely, Carr's successor Julie Bishop has signaled Australia will now follow a different course. Her pledge not to support any more ill-conceived UN resolutions will better serve Australia's interests than Carr's grandstanding.

Scholarships help assure that the educational and professional opportunities that launched more than 7,000 lives in the law will be available to qualified students in years to come. It has become increasingly important for Arizona Law to raise funds to offset the rising costs of legal education to help us attract and educate the talented, engaged students who will be well-prepared to accept the mantle of professional and community leadership.
Private gifts are increasingly important, as the costs of professional education have risen dramatically even as public sector support has declined. More than ever, we rely on your help to fulfill our promise to students and the legal profession. I hope you will take every possible chance to tell others about the many ways that scholarship gifts can be made, and the enduring reward of helping students launch their lives in the law.
For more information about the scholarships available at the College of Law, or about starting a scholarship, please contact Janet Brauneis, Assistant Dean, 520-626-3056 or via email at email@example.com.
The Law Commons
In May 2007, the College of Law began construction to recreate and transform the main law building, the library, the three large outside classrooms, and the courtyard and patio areas. Just fifteen months later, we came "home," on time and on budget. The result is the Law Commons, 117,000 square feet of stunningly renovated and productive space, centered around our students and reflective of the new ways in which they learn, study, and collaborate.
The Law Commons was made possible by the extraordinary generosity of individuals and groups who understand our mission. Current students, faculty, and staff, joined by alumni and friends who have provided financial and consulting support for the Law Commons, have together created a space that will serve many generations of law students, our alumni, and the public.
For details about the project, the people who made it possible, and the ways you can continue to help us deliver outstanding legal education in a transformed Arizona Law, please contact Nancy Stanley, Assistant Dean, 520-621-8430, or via email at email@example.com.
Create an Endowment
Endowment funds provide a constant source of income over time, with which Arizona Law can assist students through scholarships. Unlike other gifts, which are expended for short-term needs, gifts for an endowment are invested and the principal is held in perpetuity. Scholarship endowments can be named after a mentor, a family member, a corporation, or a non-profit entity and are administered by the College.
Make a Planned Gift to Support Students
One of the best ways to leave a legacy is to leave a legacy of opportunity. A planned gift can take the form of a simple bequest, a gift annuity contract, or a more complex trust arrangement that frequently provides tangible benefits to the donor, as well as the recipient.
For information on how to make an endowed gift or legacy gifts and other giving opportunities at the James E. Rogers College of Law, contact Nancy Stanley, Assistant Dean, 520-621-8430, or via email at email@example.com.

› Find signed collectible books: 'ALIAS GRACE.'
In 1843, a 16-year-old Canadian housemaid named Grace Marks was tried for the murder of her employer and his mistress. The sensationalistic trial made headlines throughout the world, and the jury delivered a guilty verdict. Yet opinion remained fiercely divided about Marks--was she a spurned woman who had taken out her rage on two innocent victims, or was she an unwilling victim herself, caught up in a crime she was too young to understand? Such doubts persuaded the judges to commute her sentence to life imprisonment, and Marks spent the next 30 years in an assortment of jails and asylums, where she was often exhibited as a star attraction. In Alias Grace, Margaret Atwood reconstructs Marks's story in fictional form. Her portraits of 19th-century prison and asylum life are chilling in their detail. The author also introduces Dr. Simon Jordan, who listens to the prisoner's tale with a mixture of sympathy and disbelief. In his effort to uncover the truth, Jordan uses the tools of the then rudimentary science of psychology. But the last word belongs to the book's narrator--Grace herself. [via]

Where to start? This tour was excellent and my favorite thing I did while I was in Paris! Who knew that Paris had hills and that I would be climbing a majority of them. Kit, my tour guide, was so informative and passionate about the history of Montmartre. He really made the area come alive with the history and personal stories. I was the only person on our tour, so I was fortunate to have the entire 3 hours to myself. Kit was able to answer all of my questions and even brought along various reference books to show the then and now of the area. We saw Moulin Rough, Montmartre Cemetery, Moulin de la Galette, back ally street art, the apartment building that once housed Van Gogh, Au Lapin Agile, the pink cafe, various monuments, a vineyard, the Sacre Coeur, along with so much more. By far one of the best tours. Thank you!
Doing what: Montmartre and Sacre Coeur Walking Tour in Paris
These two tours really made our first full day in Paris memorable, and had the added benefit of making us much more comfortable with the city and what it had to offer. Both guides were amazing -- so friendly and very knowledgeable about their respective areas. I especially enjoyed Montmartre -- as a little part of the city it made me feel at home, and our guide, Marion made the tour extra special. She was a real treat. I couldn't be more delighted with Viator's tour packages. Thanks for making our Paris trip amazing!
Doing what: Paris Super Saver: Montmartre Impressionist Art Walking Tour plus Night Walking Tour
We took this tour in January and our tour guide and tour stops really helped us with our French practice. Everyone was friendly and we were able to really try lots of yummy treats along the way. We did the afternoon tour in Montmartre - be ready to walk and climb stairs to get to Sacre Coeur! Our tour guide indulged our interest to do the tour in French so we could practice our French and we really felt like we got more of a real French experience. I would highly recommend this to others!

this was one of the best things we did on our t rip--guide was funny and knowledgeable and it was a lovely place to walk and learn. She gave us helpful advice for time on our own and very good information about the impressionists in Montmartre. Musee d'Orsay tickets were great to avoid the lines and this museum was very user friendly--sitting areas, crowd control--spacious.

Great tour and a pleasant walk through Montmartre. The guide we had was excellent and very knowledgeable about the area. While Montmartre is hilly the walk was not arduous.

Again Viatour showed excellent organisational ability - sadly cannot remember the name of the lady who was our tour guide but she was the best.
The show was superb - it has been a part of this wonderful city for so, so long and was real value for money
My daughter and I were staying in Montmartre and our guide went to great lengths to ensure our safe passage back to our hotel
thanks Viatour - this was the highlite of a most enjoyable stay in paris

I really feel like this is a "must do" for all tourists! We had front row seats, which some may not like but we really enjoyed because you felt like part of the show. In fact, they pull some people from the front rows up to the stage! The food was pretty good. My daughter has a nut allergy and they were able to accomodate her. We did the Montmartre walking tour too, which started at the Moulin Rouge, so we were able to get the history of the show and the area as well.

Wow, Steph was so good taking us through Montmartre sharing all her knowledge with us. She made the stories very interesting and paced us up all those hills and stairs giving regular breaks to rest while she informed of the history. One of the best tours and would certainly recommend.
Doing what: Montmartre and Sacre Coeur Walking Tour in Paris
I have been to Paris and Montmartre 4 times and never saw the sites I saw on this trip, the casual tour and cheese and wine stops were special. But most of all as a painter seeing where all the famous artists lived and worked before becoming famous was special. The tour guide ( i wish i could remember her name ) was perfect took time to explain and didn't rush when we wanted to take pictures.
Doing what: Small-Group Montmartre Walking Tour: Fine Wines and Famous Artists
The Impressionist walking tour was a highlight of the visit to Paris. A well crafted journey through time, and around Montmartre that shone a light on the life and times of the artists and their community. Our guide kept the pace light, and the history easy to absorb (he also kept us in the shade - it was a hot day!) Chris, UK
Doing what: Montmartre Impressionist Art Walking Tour Including Skip-the-Line Musee d'Orsay Ticket
If you like the history of Montmartre area and have an appreciation for art, this tour is really a must. Stephanie was our tour guide and I was very impressed with the depth of information provided--not only the history of the Montmartre area from its beginning; but her knowledge of art history. Also, her knowledge about the various sites and buildings of the area made for a very eclectic tour. This was truly one of the highlights of my Parisian trip. And, of course, if you want to know about the history of the Moulin Rouge, you will learn that too! I highly recommend, it is also quite pretty and unique from the rest of Paris.

Quentin, our guide, was fantastic. It was only the 3 of us and Quentin - so we had a private tour and covered so much. Brilliant tour. A MUST DO. Montmartre is SUBLIME!!! My favourite
Doing what: Montmartre Impressionist Art Walking Tour Including Skip-the-Line Musee d'Orsay Ticket
Loved Montmartre...the tour was relaxing and informative. Our guide, Alex, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a very private group of four which made it feel even more like a familiar walk through the old neighborhood with friends.
Doing what: Small-Group Montmartre Walking Tour: Fine Wines and Famous Artists
Went on the Montmartre walking tour. Steff, our tour guide was well informed and has a wonderful sense of humour. There were around ten of us. We met at street level outside Paris Metro stop Blanche. It went on a wide arc around Moulin Rouge, Montmartre cemetary, the windmill and ended in front of Sacre Cour basilica.
Steff made it very interesting with lots of anecdotes about various painters, artists and their private lives. Although it is not part of the tour, recommend a visit to Espace Dali, for those interested in Dali's works especially his sculptures.
On the whole, it was a rewarding experience.
Doing what: Montmartre and Sacre Coeur Walking Tour in Paris
This show was the highlight of our trip. We opted to have dinner with the show which was pricy but I was concerned if we ate elsewhere and it ran late...slow service in Paris, we would be late for show. Great decision ! Dinner was excellent, small portions compared to US but entire dinner, including stage entertainment was great preparation for show. Like a romantic supper club. The show was excellant. Many beautiful woman, great costumes, and the acts in between were amazing. I loved the "old Paris" charm to the room. Room was packed. Service very good. Wonderful experience. A must see in Paris. Also recommend getting a room in Montmartre close to walk home to which was a great idea as we avoided the dozen busses in front after.

More county committees weigh canceling meetings
By Max Hrenda
After the County Commission's monthly meeting was canceled because of budgetary shortcomings, committees have begun to follow suit to save even more money.
While Commission Chairman Tom Bowers requested that committee chairs assist in keeping costs down, he added that the decision would be left up to them.
"That's strictly up to them," Bowers said. "I'm just asking them to look at it, and if they can, great, and if they can't, no problem."
So far, two committee meetings have been canceled: the Financial Management Committee, which was scheduled for this morning, and the Budget Committee, which was originally scheduled for April 8.
While some commissioners believe their committee meetings can afford to wait a month, others find current business too pressing to ignore.
Commissioner Joel Street, who serves as chair for the Landfill Committee and as acting chairman for the Highway Committee, said neither committee is in a position to take the month off.
"There's no way that I can cancel," Street said. "We've got so much going on in both of these committees. I will probably consider canceling next month."
When the Highway Committee last convened March 11, commissioners listened to concerns from citizens about the possible reopening of a quarry on Judge Ben Allen Road.

State agencies filed a total of $1.17 billion in requests for funding over and above the governor's budget caps as part of their "agency requests" budgets.
The details of the so-called "items for special consideration" were released by the budget office Friday and posted on the budget office website at budget.nv.gov
Of that total, $419.25 million would have to come from the General Fund. The majority of the money would be federal funding increases, much of it - particularly in Health and Human Services Department - leveraged by smaller amounts of state cash.

Interstate 70 will shut down entirely near the Blanchette Bridge on Sunday around 10 a.m. while crews blast part of the truss on the westbound span, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).
Traffic will close for about an hour to allow crews time to clear the area, remove the debris and inspect the eastbound span of the bridge for safety. In addition, the KATY Trail near the bridge, Bangert Island Conservation Area and parts of Riverwoods Trail will be closed near the bridge.
A portion of Ameristar Casino will be evacuated near the trail and the casino plans to restrict portions of the parking garage close to the bridge.
Eastbound traffic on I-70 will be detoured off of the highway at 94 to 364. Drivers can then head back north on Interstate 270 back to eastbound 70. Westbound I-70 traffic will be detoured at Interstate 270.
The highway is expected to reopen around 11 a.m. The blast will be viewable from Riverwoods Trail, but not from the St. Charles riverfront.
A second blast, which will happen after Thanksgiving, will be visible from the riverfront.

Slightly difficult to find because it's on the third floor of an unmarked building. Our room was a little cramped and broken down with a view of homeless people sleeping outside. The staff was very friendly and helpful! And the place is in a great location despite what was directly in front of the hostel.

In the opening bout of the night, lightweight street fighter Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett knocked out previously undefeated K.J. Noons in the first round.
Noons, the favorite coming in, is relatively new to MMA and holds great promise as a well-rounded fighter. However, the unpredictable and dangerous Bennett packs dynamite in his fists and fire in his eyes. He caught the 24-year old Noons with a devastating right hook to the jaw. With Noons on the mat clearly dazed, Bennett jumped on him and landed an additional punch to the head before the referee waved it off at 3:43; a startling upset first-round KO.
Bennett celebrated his victory with his patented back flip off the top of the cage into the center of the ring. "Victory and humility go hand and hand," said the showman Bennett facetiously. "I faked him (with the body shot). Then I dropped him. Oh, I knew I was going to knock him out. I ate a couple of his punches, but I have a hard head."
The executive producer of the SHOWTIME telecast was David Dinkins, Jr. with eight-time Emmy Award winner John Faratzis directing. MMA veteran play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranallo called the action cageside with Bill Goldberg and Jay Glazer serving as color analysts.
This continues a partnership of ProElite Inc. and Showtime Networks; the premium television network which recently invested in the MMA company.
Tim Percey over Bo Cantrell knockout in 1:33 min in the first round.
Mike Pyle over Ross Ebanez 1:55 min tapout by a rear naked choke hold.
Quote from Mike Pyle – "It was short and sweet just like I like it - just like I love it."
Javier Vazquez over Adriana Perreira split decision: 29-28 Vazquez; 29-27 Nasal.
Vazquez Quote – "He punched me in the head more than I like."
James Edson Berto over John Shakleford dropped John-David Shackelford with a left hook and landed 10 unanswered punches bringing him down and ended by the ref winning by Knock-out in 2:27 min of the second round.
Riki Fukuda over Chris Gates won by un-returnable punches in 1:17 min of the 1st Round – call by submission.
