Freezing rain and fog glazed roads and sidewalks with a sheet of ice Friday, just before a major winter storm moves into town this weekend.
An ice-covered road caused a crash between a school bus, a snow plow and a minivan Friday morning in western Illinois. The school bus, which was carrying 22 students between 5 and 14 years old, slid into a ditch on Malta Road in Kirkland, according to the DeKalb County Sheriff's office.
The bus became stuck in the ditch, and a snow plow that was spreading salt slid into ditch, hitting the school bus, according to the sheriff's office. While both of those vehicles were stuck in the ditch, a minivan, slid on the ice, was unable to stop and also crashed into the ditch, hitting the school bus.
No one was hurt in the crash, the sheriff's office said.
The real trouble starts Saturday, when a complicated winter storm ushers rain, sleet, snow or all of the above into the area after midnight. The storm's course remains uncertain, but several inches of snow could possibly fall in the far northern suburbs, the weather service said.
Saturday carries a 100 percent chance of precipitation, and the snow will continue through Sunday, the weather service said. The city and southern suburbs could also see lesser amounts of snow.
Meanwhile, the same storm could bring heavy rain to northwest Indiana. Forecasters warn small creeks and streams jammed with ice could flood there.
The winter weather is hitting us just as the holiday travel season heats up.
Friday was projected to be the busiest travel day of the Christmas season at O'Hare and Midway airports, the city's Department of Aviation said.
For a few hours on Friday, flights were delayed at O'Hare and Midway because of low visibility in Chicago.
More than 209,000 passengers passed through O'Hare Airport alone on Friday, while more than 66,000 flyers traveled through Midway.
It's just the beginning of a travel season that will see 4 million people pass through Chicago's two airports until Jan. 6, the department said.
However, most people traveling for the holiday season will drive, with 4.9 million people in Illinois expected to dive 50 miles or more from home between Saturday and New Year's Day, the AAA travel club predicts.

Austin City Council could soon make smoking on bar and restaurant patios a thing of the past, but some owners say even considering the idea goes too far.
Fred Nelson owns Freddie's Place in South Austin. His outdoor seating area outnumbers what he has inside his restaurant.
For the most part, Nelson says he doesn't hear too many complaints.
"There are people who are militant nonsmokers. If someone is smoking a cigarette within 50 feet of them, it bothers them," Nelson said. "I'm a nonsmoker. Even still, I don't believe they should intrude on our rights any more than they do."
Nelson says he tries to accommodate customers disturbed by the smoke.
The idea of keeping smokers off patios hasn't yet made it before the City Council, but it has smokers like Jason Watson worried.
"If you give them this, they are going to take it further," Watson said.
Watson says he is trying to quit. In the meantime, he's considerate of those around him and never smokes near his daughter.
"If I am smoking a cigarette and there are several people eating dinner around me, of course I will go somewhere where they are not," Watson said.
But he feels an outright ban on smoking outside restaurants and bars could lead to laws controlling what he does on his own property.
Anti-smoking advocates say expanding the ban will encourage those like Watson to quit and make Austin a healthier place to live.
Live Tobacco Free Austin says—nationwide—an estimated $96 billion in health care costs is tied to smoking.

@ebrady98, you are a brave young person and even at 61 years of age, I can still hear my own parents judging me as a youth when I read your story. I spent most of my life as a fat person because I was made to eat whatever, but only in small amounts because I was fat and it did not matter if I was hungry still. One is supposed to be hungry on a 'diet' after all! I had a serious carb addiction, but when I quit grains, etc. (i.e. adopted a primal life) and ate paleo/primal, my health issues went away.
I am a university professor and researcher and am far from a crazy, 'out there' sort of person. I know that for me and likely most other people, living a paleo/ primal life is the only way to have health. Like your Dad, I also ended up thinking that red meat was bad and so on. I was wrong, and fat. I wish when I was 14, that I had your courage. You are totally right in your quest for health. I wish I could wave a magic wand to get your parents straightened out. I have no answers at the moment. All I can say is "Stay the course".

CATEGORIES MoviesTaylor Kitsch is really taking being an underdog to heart.
The "John Carter" star, who appears on the verge of a breakout with two other high profile features lined up for 2012, isn't letting poor box office and bad reviews stop his dreams of "John Carter 2."
About that box office: despite costing at least $250 million to produce -- with millions more spent on marketing -- "John Carter" earned just $30 million on its opening weekend, and has grossed just $62 million in the U.S.
Kitsch seemed to develop a personal relationship with the scantily clad hero and its history.
"I'd love to go do John Carter 2," he said. "I really would. It's just shitty I don't get to work with the [John Carter] family. It really was a special thing."
But Kitsch is solidering on and will "keep working." He will next be seen in Peter Berg's art house film, "Battleship," which hits theaters May 18. He's also set to star in Oliver Stone's "Savages" out this July.

The beer pours a dark golden/amber color with little head. There is a little lacing here. The aroma is of pale and crystal malts; a slight hop aroma as well, but small. The taste is average. There is decent bittering and flavoring hops, but the malt character is lacking. It is a low bodied beer that drinks well, but it's a little too simplistic for me. They changed their pale ale recipe and made great strides. Let's hope they follow suit and do the same here.

Pours a hazy amber-orange with a monstorous uncontrolable white head. Down boy! Smells very fruity with a bit of hop oil coming through.
I found the taste to be somewhat complex. I get some apple, bannana, and even a little orange. Not what I expected at all. Slightly dry hoppy finish. The carbonation was a little on the high side, hence the monster head. A very drinkable brew that is worth a look.

This was a fine American pale ale of the lighter-hopped style (definately NOT "west-coast"!). Color was a crystal-clear light copper. Nice. Some perception of hops on the nose, not too strong. I liked its well-balanced taste: sweet and mildly bitter with usual characteristics; added back-end bitterness when allowing extra tounge time. Good American drinkability.

12oz bottle obtained via trade with Shippos. Thanks for the opportunity...
Poured in an imperial pint glass, forms a 2" beige head, which lasts more or less forever, and leaves large foam bits down the glass sides. A copper brew, with slightly malty, yet somewhat effervescent aroma. Taste is basic pale malts, with a tad fruity (apple?) flavor. Mouthfeel okay, the apple tinge kind of harshens it a bit, but it seemed to grow on me. Drinkability is good, seems quite sessionable.

4.15/5 rDev +13.7%
Package: 12 oz. longneck, crowned brown bottle (and draught). No date information or ABV indicated. Brick-colored label with the standard Ithaca Beer motif of Cayuga Lake with a face superimposed on it.
Cost: $5.99 per 6-pack at Finger Lakes Beverage
Presentation: Poured into a Shaker pint glass at ~45º
Appearance: Pours the expectedly amber-copper color, with a medium-sized, vellum-colored foam cap. Head settles down to a thick-collared skim with moderate lacing. Fine carbonation percolates through the beer. Fairly standard.
Smell: Ithaca beers have a pretty distinct smell and taste that appears again in this beer. The yeast seems to draw out a fruity-malt smell that evokes rustic, moist bread. It is particularly apparent here. Little indication of hops.
Taste: My first thought is that this is a bit hoppier than the aroma suggested, providing a spicy counterpoint to the malty sweetness and hint of fruitiness. Theres also a touch of molasses and of roasted malt. Possesses a relatively short but clean finish, typical of the modest lack of concentration in Ithacas beers. However, this seems to be improving.
Mouthfeel: The draught is particularly smooth, but the bottles dont disappoint. This is a medium-bodied, easy drinking beer.
Drinkability: I find all of the Ithaca beers eminently drinkable. They get the carbonation right, and with the recent formula tweaks, flavor concentration seems to be improved. Provides lots of flavor in a medium-bodied, low-ABV beer.
Backwash: Im a bit astounded (and disappointed) that these beers dont seem to rate more highly. Id be the first to admit to being prejudiced about Ithaca (I think its one of the most beautiful places Ive ever been); but I wouldnt inflate my scores of the beer! I dont even bring enough back to pimp it for trades. Anyway, Ill admit that I think the Flower Power and Pale Ales are better, with the Amber and Nut Brown seeming a touch diluted. However, the Amber has improved, and I expect the Nut Brown will as well, if it hasnt already. Do yourself a favor and pick up one of the 12-bottle sampler packs. I dont think youll be disappointed.
NB: Someone mentioned that this style might be discontinued, but I dont think thats the case.

4.28/5 rDev +17.3%
The beer pours a tawny amber color, brilliantly clear, topped with a finger's worth of antique white froth. The head settles into a thick mist, lasting throughout the glass, broken sheets of lace sticking all the way down.
The aroma is dominated by a soft, toasty malt, as well as excellent, fruity esters. A bit of caramel. Mostly a sweetish apple scent, with a touch of dryish pear. A touch of orange, hinting at mild citric hops. Very clean scent, with everything well placed.
The flavor starts with a soft, delicate toasty malt, lovely estery fruit creeping in early. Some caramel flavors creep in as it warms, with a bit of a dextrinous sweetness. Heaps of apple and pear, with a bit of a perfumey floral taste, easing seamlessly into a fairly hoppy finish. Great citric flavor, with only mild bitterness tempering the easy going malt sweetness. A touch of grain in the end, as well. Toasty malt lingers in the tongue, coating the surface with a fruity sweetness. Medium bodied, with moderate, somewhat assertive carbonation. Smooth drinking, sessionable mouthfeel.
This is a hell of a session brew. Mild, subtle flavors with a fantastic estery flavor. The hops have just enough bite to keep the interest of a fairly well developed palate, and the esters are the sort of thing I look for in a great ale. I guess it'd be a beer lover's amber, although I'd call it something more akin to an ESB. The only thing I'd change would be to soften the carbonation some. It feels just a bit too effervescent at first, and I'd prefer something more gentle and english styled. Great stuff.

12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass.
This ale pours a dark copper color with a very little white head which dies down to nothing before I can even take a sip. Bubbles racing to the top of the glass throughout tasting. Odor is of chocolate and caramel malt. Very clean, crisp, typical earthy Ithaca odor. Very minimal hop scent. Hops are much more present on the tounge but the malt flavor definitely shines through the most. Very sweet malts, very enjoyable. Some floral flavors coming from the earthy hops. Mouthfeel is very smooth. Drinkability is definitely there, could be a good session brew. Decent ale, but not the best from Ithaca.

Outside groups have spent heavily trying to influence the heated 6th Congressional race, and Republican Richard Tisei has been the biggest beneficiary.
Super PACs, 501c groups and other outside groups have spent more than $3.5 million supporting Tisei or attacking Tierney in the 2012 campaign, according to numbers compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
By comparison, outside groups have spent about $1.6 million supporting Tierney and opposing Tisei.
The 6th District race, one of the nastiest and most hotly contested in the nation, also has the distinction of being the race with the most outside spending in Massachusetts, far outpacing even the tight U.S. Senate campaign between Democrat Elizabeth Warren and Republican Scott Brown.
So far, outside groups have spent a total of $5.16 million on the 6th District race, compared with $4.4 million in the high-profile race between Brown and Warren, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Outside spending in other U.S. House races in Massachusetts can be measured in the tens of thousands.
"It's what we've been saying since the beginning: Republicans in Washington are hell-bent on getting another vote in Congress to support their agenda. They are all too happy to support Richard Tisei," said Matt Robison, Tierney's campaign manager. "This is the group Richard Tisei has sold out to."
Paul Moore, the campaign manager for Tisei, has a different take.
"I think people like to make investments in the person they think is going to win. That's part of it," he said.
Moore said he believes Tierney was poised to get more outside support initially, but lost it because of repeated questions raised about the illegal gambling scandal involving his brothers-in-law and his wife, who managed a bank account for one of her brothers. Sensing a vulnerability, Republican groups jumped in and Democratic ones dropped out.

What We Believe According to the Scriptures
[Editor's note: The following articles are taken from "Lesson XV" of The New Convention Normal Manual for Sunday School Workers, published by the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1913 and 1918. They were written by Kerfoot while serving as Pastor of Eutaw Baptist Church in Baltimore, MD as a part of that church's confession of faith. Many other churches adopted the confession, and the Sunday School Board included it in the Normal Manual that it might be "offered in this permanent form as being helpful in a comparative and discriminating study." Kerfoot succeeded James Boyce as Professor of Systematic Theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary before serving as the corresponding secretary for the Home Mission Board.]
It is enjoined upon Christ's people that they be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh a reason concerning the hope that is in them. (1 Peter 3:15.) And Paul enjoins upon Timothy, not only that he take heed unto himself, but also unto his doctrines. (1 Timothy 4:16.) We herewith append the leading tenets which we hold, in common with all evangelical dominations,….
Doctrines Which We Hold in Common with Other Denominations
What we believe in common with all evangelical Christians:
1. In one God, Maker and Ruler of heaven and earth, revealed as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, equal in every divine perfection. Read 1 Corinthians 8:4-6; Matthew 28:19; Jude 20-21.
2. In the Holy Scriptures as his infallible word, which are able to make us wise unto salvation. Read 2 Timothy 3:16,17.
3. In the fall of man and his condemnation as a sinner, and God's sovereign grace and love in his redemption.
4. In salvation in the name of Jesus Christ, who was the "Word made flesh," God-man, who obeyed the law, suffered and died for the sins of men, is risen and exalted a Priest and King. Read Romans 5:12-21; 1 Corinthians 15:3.4; Acts 5:31.
5. In the free offer of eternal life in the gospel to all, and the aggravated guilt of those who reject it. Read Romans 10:11-13; Hebrews 2:3.
6. In the necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit, and the repentance toward God, and faith in Christ. Read John 3:5; Acts 20,21.
7. In the justification and adoption of the believer, through the blood and righteousness of Jesus Christ. Read Romans 3:23-26.
8. In the sacred observance of the Lord's Day for his worship and his work. Read John 5:17; Revelation 1:10; Acts 20:7.
9. In the present life as man's only day of grace, and that, when this present life ends, man enters at once into conscious blessedness or woe. Read 2 Corinthians 6:2; Luke 16:19-31.
10. In the resurrection of the body; the righteous, to eternal life; the wicked to judgment and eternal punishment. Read John 5:28,29; Matthew 25:46.
Doctrines Which We Hold in Common with Many Other Evangelical Christians
And, in common with a large body of evangelical Christians nearly all Baptists believe what are usually termed the "doctrines of grace:"
1. The absolute sovereignty and foreknowledge of God.
2. His eternal and unchangeable purposes or decrees.
3. That salvation in its beginning, continuance and completion, is God's free gift.
4. That in Christ, we are elected or chosen, personally or individually, from eternity, saved and called our from the world, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.
5. That we are kept by his power from falling away, and will be presented faultless before the presence of his glory. Read Romans 8, 9, 10, 11; Acts 13:48; Ephesians 1:4,5; Ephesians 2:1-10; 1 Peter 1:2-5; Jude 24; Timothy 1:9; Titus 3:5.

Down but not out, the Bears continued to hang around in the third quarter, keeping the Packers off the scoreboard and keeping the score at 14-0.
Unfortunately for the Bears, while their defense, led by Brian Urlacher, who thwarted a Packer drive with a huge red-zone interception, has kept them in the game, their offense continued to shoot blanks with first Todd Collins and then Caleb Hanie under center in place of Jay Cutler, who injured his knee and is not expected to returned.
Green Bay's offense got a little sloppy in the third quarter. In addition to Rodgers' second interception, penalties by offensive linemen also stopped drives cold.
Urlacher has come up huge for Chicago, making a big tackle for a huge loss in addition to his interception. But Collins was terrible in place of Cutler, almost throwing a pair of interceptions on his two possessions before being replaced by the more mobile Hanie.

My wife bought tickets for us to see GaGa tribute band. After reading bad reviews we weren't especially looking forward to see them. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The musicians were great, lead guitar - very true to original, so Bass and Drums tight and yes singing lacked Freddies… (cont'd) Robert from Broadway

By Conor Walsh
---- — For anybody planning to take in any of Saturday's high school Super Bowls, enjoy it.
Because after Saturday, local playoffs may never be the same.
In October, the MIAA's Football Committee laid out a new playoff format for Massachusetts high school football, a proposal that passed and will be implemented as part of a four-year cycle starting next season.
As things stand now, each conference champion earns a playoff berth, four in each division (a format Gloucester and Manchester Essex fans alike can remember over recent years).
You play Thanksgiving, you play the semifinals the following Tuesday, then the Super Bowl that Saturday.
How's the old saying go? If it's not broken, don't fix it?
The MIAA should take a second to think about that.
Under the new format, the world gets thrown upside-down. Schools are broken into six divisions based on enrollment and competitive balance, and after seven regular-season weeks, the playoffs begin.
Let me repeat: After seven weeks, the playoffs start.
The top two seeds from each conference will automatically qualify for the new state-wide playoffs, and the remaining playoff slots will be filled by wild card teams determined by a power rating system (a BCS-like nightmare in the making).
When the playoffs kick off in Week 8, 160 teams will be taking the field, 55 percent of the state's programs and more than double the number of teams that played in Tuesday's respective semifinals.
And after a five-week playoff -- with a Thanksgiving Day game rendered largely useless now thrown right there between the final two rounds -- six state champions will be crowned at Gillette Stadium.
Now, sure, the current system isn't perfect, and this new format does address some of the problems.
For instance, something doesn't sit right with me that St. John's Prep and Brockton will be playing for the Division 1 crown at Bentley University. Under the new format, all state championships would be held at Gillette, which is just downright cool for any high school kid.
On top of that, the new format eliminates the time-crunch of the current system, where Super Bowl teams play three games in nine days.
And while it's likely that the majority of state champions will still come from the eastern part of the state, the fact that the new system will crown a true "state" champion is an improvement.
But those upgrades aren't enough to overshadow how stupid this new format is.
It's the next victory for the "everybody gets a trophy" supporters.
The state's proposal itself cites "increase post-season opportunities for student-athletes in football" as a goal of the proposal.
You know what has always been one of the coolest things about local high school football? The fact that, for the most part, a team's got to be damn-near perfect to even get a chance at the playoffs.
As we saw on Tuesday, the playoffs are the ultimate privilege under the current program, and it's usually only the great teams that earn that privilege.
I think back to 2006, when my alma mater (Beverly) had a pretty stacked squad. 9-1. Missed the playoffs, though, after a loss to undefeated Winthrop.
A tough way to go out, but that speaks to the kind of gauntlet you had to get through to find yourself a part of your division's final four.
Sure, there will still be a gauntlet in this new playoff system, having to win five games to win the title. But as long as this format exists, the regular season will be forever cheapened and any mediocre team can say it went to the playoffs.
Let's also not overlook the safety aspect of things. Is it safe for these kids to play three games in nine days? Probably not.
But are we really supposed to believe that if a kid has a nagging injury coming out of Week 7 that he won't do everything in his power to play the rest of the way, maybe even five games?
Plain and simple, kids are going to get hurt playing football. It's just the way it is, regardless of what kind of playoff format the state employs.
And how about the teams that don't make the playoffs? They'll still play other non-playoff opponents to round out the season, but let's get serious. That's a bummer for those kids.
In the current system, even if you're on a bad team the regular season can have some meaning. You can play the spoiler. You can see if your young kids can find something to build off of against the conference's brass.
Now, they'll be playing in a month of meaningless games against a bunch of other kids who don't care anymore.
Finally, Thanksgiving. Doesn't need much explanation. Thanksgiving is always going to be Thanksgiving, and this new format will effectively kill Thanksgiving for many teams.
Think back to the Gloucester Super Bowl teams. Imagine if, after winning their semifinal matchup, they had the Danvers game thrown into the mix in the middle of their championship preparations.
Translation: It'd be a JV team going out there on Thanksgiving, and that's a good way to kill a great tradition.
There's no perfect playoff system, and I'm not going to pretend that I could lay out a better proposal than the MIAA did.
But the next few seasons are going to show just how flawed this new system is, and, mark my words, people will be pining for the old days.
So, if you're Super Bowling anywhere on Saturday, take it all in, because it's going to be awhile before you see things back to the way they're supposed to be.

MONTEZUMA, Ga. (AP) - A 21-year-old woman is charged with making a false statement to police after starting a rumor that she found a dead baby in the trash.
Montezuma police say Alexis Boland was on her way to work at a dollar store and saw a baby doll in a trash bin. Boland told police she thought it would be funny to play a joke on a co-worker and say she saw a dead baby.
Police say customers overheard Boland telling her co-worker the story and calls began flooding the department. Authorities tracked the rumor to Boland - who stuck with the story when she was initially interviewed. She later told the truth and said she panicked when police approached her. Boland was arrested Wednesday.
Montezuma is about 66 miles east of Columbus.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - Victor Oladipo hit a key 3-pointer with 13 seconds remaining and Indiana, minutes away from being the second No. 1 seed to be swept from the NCAA tournament, held off Temple 58-52 on Sunday in the East Regional.
The Hoosiers (29-6) trailed by four with 2:56 left, but closed with a big run to advance to the round of 16 for the second straight year.
Indiana will play No. 4 seed Syracuse in the regional semifinals on Thursday in Washington.
Temple's Khalif Wyatt scored 31 points to lead the Owls (24-10), who gave one of the Big Ten's big boys all they could handle before collapsing when it mattered most.
Oladipo, who spent the afternoon trying to slow down Wyatt, scored 16 and Cody Zeller added 15 for the Hoosiers.

Double federal spending for research on clean fuels
Will "double science and research funding for clean energy projects including those that make use of our biomass, solar and wind resources."
Sources: "Barack Obama's Plan to Make America a Global Energy Leader" and "Barack Obama's Plan to Combat Climate Change and Create a Green Economy"
"Barack Obama's Plan to Make America a Global Energy Leader" and "Barack Obama's Plan to Combat Climate Change and Create a Green Economy"
Research money has more than doubled
Updated: Friday, January 8th, 2010 | By Catharine Richert
On the campaign trail, Barack Obama lamented the lack of funding for clean energy science and research.
"At present, the federal government spends over $3 billion per year on all energy innovation efforts," he wrote in his Plan to Make America a Global Energy Leader. "While this may seems like a significant sum, it is much less than what we spent in the late 1970s when adjusted for inflation, and is less than the pet food industry invests in its own products. We must do better."
Obama promised to double funding for the efforts, which means we should have seen at least $6 billion dedicated to clean energy research this year.
We started by poking around in the stimulus bill. According to the Department of Energy, the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy got about $2.5 billion for applied research, development and production of geothermal energy, solar energy and wind energy among other renewable fuels. The same office got an additional $2.2 billion through in the latest round of the appropriations process.
So far, that brings us to $4.7 billion.
The stimulus bill also included $1.2 billion to the Department of Energy's Office of Science to support major construction, laboratory infrastructure and research efforts. Among other renewable energy research facilities, the money so far has been given to Oak Ridge National Laboratory and to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, both hot spots of advanced energy research. The Office of Science got an additional $4.9 billion in its latest appropriations bill.
All told, that brings us to $10.8 billion, far more than the $6 billion Obama needed to meet his goal. Since Obama has met and exceeded his goal, we'll give him a Promise Kept on this pledge.

text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 300505 AFDTOP AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS 1205 AM CDT Sat Aug 30 2014 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday) Issued at 316 PM CDT FRI AUG 29 2014 Satellite imagery shows a vort max near CNK slowly lifting towards southeast NEB. Dry air and some weak subsidence has allowed some sunshine to break out across much of the forecast area. This has helps temps warm into the mid 80s and a CU field to develop. There is still a chance for some scattered showers and thunderstorms as long as the trough axis continues to pass overhead. Therefore will maintain some chance POPs through the evening. 700-500MB lapse rates remain rather modest and deep layer shear unimpressive within the trough axis. So while there could be some pop up storms, organized severe weather appears unlikely. By the late evening, the models have the mid level trough axis propagating east of the forecast area. With the loss of day time heating and any forcing from the vort max lifting northeast, precip chances should come to an end. There may be some localized ground fog over areas that have received higher amounts of rain this morning. However there is some uncertainty in the chances for widespread fog. Models indicate a weak shortwave, that shows up on water vapor over eastern WY now, moving across northeast KS around day break. While the deep lay moisture is expected to be pushed off to the east and models prog no real vertical motion with this feature, think it may keep some high clouds passing aloft through the morning which could inhibit radiational cooling and fog formation. There is also some signs of dry air advection from the northwest, albeit weak. Because of this have opted to leave out any mention of fog for now. Lows are expected to be in the lower and middle 60s. Saturday looks to be dry with no real forcing seen from the model progs and relatively high pressure at the surface. Mostly sunny skies are anticipated with shortwave ridging developing by the afternoon. With mixing to around 825MB, this should help warm temps from the mid 80s across far northeast KS to around 90 in central KS. .LONG TERM...(Saturday Night through Friday) Issued at 316 PM CDT FRI AUG 29 2014 Central Plains to be on the southern end of fairly quick and mainly zonal upper flow into the middle of next week. Initial upper trough, approaching the Pacific Northwest today, comes just south of east into the Central and Northern Plains late Sunday into Sunday night with an attendant Pacific cold front. Increasing upper forcing coincides with fairly thick high clouds for trace-type elevated precip potential for the late morning and early afternoon. Still looks like the front will hold off locally until the evening hours but fairly strong surface pressure gradient ahead of it should keep mixing up and the boundary layer fairly well mixed into the early evening hours. Deep layer shear and instability should remain in moderate levels and support severe weather potential of mainly hail and wind through the evening hours. At this point flooding concerns remain low with the quicker upper flow keeping storm motions up, but as the upper trough translates more north of east with time, storm motions should become more parallel to the synoptic front overnight into early Labor Day for a higher potential for training. This would most likely occur in southern areas where recent rainfall has been sparse and light further minimizing flooding concern. The zonal flow should keep the synoptic front nearby into at least Monday night, though models are handling the boundary`s definition differently and have little doubt outflow boundaries will play a role in where convection will focus. Have increased chances somewhat into Tuesday night. Severe weather potential will again need to be watched for these periods with at least some potential for modest shear and CAPE. The next upper trough passing west-to-east across the Northern Rockies should allow the front to mix back north for Wednesday and Thursday, but the front with this trough could reach northern areas around Friday. As for other sensible weather, wind speeds ahead of the front Sunday pick up through the day but look to stay slightly below advisory levels. Good warm air advection will also boost temps and heat index levels could near triple digits. Somewhat cooler temps anticipated behind and near the front and associated convection Labor Day and Tuesday, though apparent temps in far southern areas should be well into the 90s. Highs through the remainder of the forecast under the broad upper ridging expected to return to the lower to middle 90s. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFs through 06Z Saturday Night) Issued at 1150 PM CDT FRI AUG 29 2014 VFR tafs are expected through most of the period. There is a slight chance of ground fog at Topeka given the rain this evening, clear skies, and variable winds. Conditions are drier at MHK which may mitigate fog there. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Wolters LONG TERM...65 AVIATION...Sanders

Another school shooting today, this one in Atlanta.
After several shots were fired, hitting a student in the neck, a school resource officer was able to disarm the gunman - and place the teenage shooter under arrest.
Not every school district has the budget for resource officers.
Which is why some South Dakota lawmakers are looking to pass the 'School Sentinel' bill. It would allow districts to make plans to arm their staff.
But not everybody thinks arming teachers is a good idea.
KSFY News spoke with the leader of a group who started a petition against the bill.
The web-site Smart School Safety has more than 600 signatures so far on its online petition.
Ben Nesselhuf, chairman of the South Dakota Democratic party says the petition is a way for people to make their voices heard.
South Dakota house members passed the 'School Sentinel' bill this week but not everyone is happy about the possibility of armed teachers.
"I myself am a gun owner, my wife and I own several guns. We understand. We have a respect for those. I think people who understand guns are probably a little hesitant to put more guns into classrooms," Nesselhuf said.
The South Dakota Democratic party started the online petition in response.
"The online petition was developed as a way of making certain that our legislators know where the people of South Dakota are at and that there's a very large group of folks and I would argue, the vast majority, do not believe putting more guns in schools will make our children safer," Nesselhuf said.
Nesselhuf believes arming teachers with guns is an accident waiting to happen.
"If we interject a gun, a firearm into a situation where you have twenty-five elementary school students, are we going to be able to ensure that is always properly handled and that at no point is there going to be a situation where an accident could occur," Nesselhuf said.
Nesselhuf doesn't rule out guns completely, he is willing to consider other solutions than armed teachers.
"I think armed guards in schools is a great alternative because then you're talking trained police officers, or people who have gone through training, that are identified as security. I think that could be a solution," Nesselhuf said.
We polled more than four hundred educators across the state about the 'School Sentinel' bill.
We asked if it becomes law, would you be in favor of your school board allowing teachers to be armed in schools?
There was a wide gap...
Twenty-two percent said yes, while seventy-eight percent said no.
When asked if they'd be okay with armed guards in schools...
The results were much closer....
Fifty-two percent said yes while forty eight percent said no.

You can finally stop girding your loins – we've reached the final division in this position battles series. For reference, we've already covered the AL East, NL East, AL Central, NL Central, and AL West. Anyway, here's some of the position battles to watch in the NL West:Please, blog, may I have some more?
fantasy baseball draft
Gird your loins – we're currently navigating positions battles in each division. Today I'm talking about the AL West, which gains the Astros this year, if anyone considers them something you gain. Every other team in the division should stand to benefit from the move. Maybe I've already beat them into the ground, especially with my review of worst pitching staffs in 2012, but they really could have a season for the ages (of a fallen empire). Across the state, the Rangers should continue to be a powerhouse, despite Ron Washington's "leadership." Meanwhile, the Angels look like the terminator, although, once their non-Trout core ages a little more, maybe they'll be merely human. Today's empires, tomorrow's ashes – am I right? I don't want to say anything bad about the Mariners other than this sentence implying that I have something bad to say about them. Ah yes, and I'm required by the union of baseball writers to have a token mention of the A's. There you go. Anyway, here's some of the position battles to watch in the AL West:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Gird your loins – we're going to be navigating positions battles in each division. Today I'm talking about the NL Central, which loses the Astros this year, so you can basically knock off five wins from each team's 2012 win total. It feels like this could be a close race for the first couple months until the Reds replace Dusty's toothpick with bubblegum at the trade deadline. There's also a good amount of both young and rebound pitchers spread out across the division, so this could be a boon for late round draft picks in mixed leagues. Am I telling you to draft a pitching staff solely from the NL Central? Those are your words, not mine. Although I kind of wish they had been my words (you quick thinker, you). You can also read about the position battles for the NL East and the AL Central. Anyway, here are some of the position battles to watch in the NL Central:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Gird your loins – we're going to be navigating positions battles in each division. Last week, I covered the NL East. Today I'm talking about the AL Central, which actually looks fairly interesting this year. At first glance, the Tigers should run away with the division. At a slightly closer glance, the Indians, Royals, and White Sox all appear to be trying to contend. Who knows? Maybe Verlander's arm will fall off after pitching over 1,000 innings across the past four seasons, while Miggy and Fielder enter a 24/7 all-you-can-eat buffet in Vegas and never return. Anyway, here's some of the position battles to keep an eye on in the AL Central:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Why hello there. This article will look at the position battles in each division. Today's topic, for the rare reader that ignores the title, is the NL East. By the way, I'm all in on non-Marlins pitchers in the NL East. Do any of those lineups look devastating? Not really. And you'll probably get a win each time they face the Marlins. Anyway, here's some of the position battles to keep an eye on in the NL East:Please, blog, may I have some more?
We participated for the 3rd year in a row in Yahoo's Friends & Family draft – a melange of 6 Yahoos, 3 Rotowire peeps, 1 Baseball Prospectus writer (Baseball Prospector?), 1 HardballTimes.com guy, a WSJournalist and us. Count 'em up – it's 13 people this year.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Some people will tell you Giancarlo Stanton's plate discipline has improved while in the majors and that his comps suggest further reduction in K% and growth in BB%. Most will boast he's one of a Lilliputian handful of players with a legitimate shot at 40+ HR and that he has room to improve on his power.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Unlike with real baseball, it can unequivocally be said that fantasy baseball is 50% about hitting and 50% about pitching. Yet it is close to a foregone conclusion that fantasy baseball drafters should invest disproportionately in hitters vs. pitchers. If someone were to draft a pitcher in the first round or three in the first five rounds, the average fantasy baseball player would scoff at them (scoff I say!).Please, blog, may I have some more?
Last time, on Nerd TV we looked at some SP whose actual Ks didn't jive with their expected Ks from last season. That's 2011, for those of you traveling through time while reading this. In case you can't read minds or remember 70 random characters at a time, I've used this formula for the expected Ks:
Today, we'll subjectively select some sandbaggin' and overachievin' RP for your fantasy baseball draft strategy.Please, blog, may I have some more?
You've seen Grey's PEDS, you've seen his iOS, you've seen his Pitcher Pairings, you've seen his rankings, you've seen his mustache… doode's an open book (and actually, he's got one of them, too). He's fantasy baseball's equivalent of Jenna Jameson; he's willing to show you everything, but he's not quite as easy as he seems.Please, blog, may I have some more?

ATLANTA and BILOXI, Miss. (Jan. 25, 2008) – For the 25th year, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, will call attention to both the need for affordable housing and Habitat for Humanity's work to help low-income families realize the goal of homeownership.
"While great strides have been made in the recovery efforts since hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the work is far from over," said President Carter. "Rosalynn and I are pleased to be returning to the Gulf Coast to work with Habitat for Humanity. Along with the thousands of wonderful volunteers, Rosalynn and I look forward to creating not only new houses, but new awareness about the dire need for affordable housing in the Gulf."
Biloxi and Pascagoula, Miss., still recovering from the devastating 2005 hurricane season, will serve as host cities for the build. Throughout the five-day event, May 11-16, thousands of volunteers will help construct and rehabilitate 60 houses and frame up to 48 more in the two cities. As part of the project, houses also will be built and repaired by volunteers in Gulf Coast communities in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Alabama.
"As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Habitat for Humanity's Carter Work Project, we'll continue to focus on the long-term recovery efforts throughout the Gulf Coast region," said Habitat for Humanity Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Reckford. "With the help of President and Mrs. Carter—along with the thousands of devoted volunteers who will join them—we'll not only help further rebuild these communities by providing simple, decent, affordable housing, but we'll also help restore hope and stability in the lives of families so severely impacted by the hurricanes."
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita destroyed or damaged more than half-a-million houses along the Gulf Coast. According to a 2007 RAND Corporation study, 60 percent of all houses in Harrison County, Miss., which includes Biloxi, were damaged. More than 12,000 FEMA trailers are still in use today throughout Southern Mississippi.
In 2008, the annual, week-long event was renamed the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project to recognize the former first lady's years of dedicated service to help raise awareness and provide simple, decent and affordable housing in partnership with families in need.
"It is an honor to host the Carter Project," said Chris Monforton, chief executive officer of Habitat for Humanity of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. "Habitat has done such great work here on the Gulf Coast, but this event is an important reminder that many people in this region are still living with the hurricane's effects two years later. By raising awareness about the need for affordable housing and rebuilding the Gulf Coast, we are one step closer to finding a solution."
To date, Habitat for Humanity's Gulf Coast Recovery program has completed or begun construction on more than 1,300 houses. In addition to building homes, Habitat also is working to serve as a catalyst, bringing together organizations to address low-income housing and recovery on a scale that Habitat alone would not be able to accomplish. Habitat has also forged many other ongoing partnerships and collaborations with community and faith groups and long-term recovery committees in the region. Habitat has partnered with Church World Service to raise funds to repair homes for low-income families and with The Salvation Army to increase building capacity, volunteer accommodations and affordability of homes along the Gulf Coast. Lutheran Social Services and other Katrina Aid Today consortium members are engaged in assisting families in finding appropriate housing solutions, including Habitat homes.
Volunteers can sign up to help build in a Gulf Coast community and donations can be made online at www.habitat.org [1].
25 Years of Building with the Carters
Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, have been helping Habitat for Humanity shine the spotlight on the need for affordable housing since 1984. That year, the Carters led a small team of Habitat volunteers to New York City to help renovate a six-story apartment building with 19 families in need of decent, affordable shelter. A quarter of a century later, that modest effort has grown into an internationally recognized annual event that has taken place in communities around the world.
About Habitat for Humanity of the Mississippi Gulf Coast
Habitat for Humanity of the Mississippi Gulf Coast (HFHMGC) serves Harrison, Jackson and Stone counties. Since Katrina, HFHMGC has completed and started construction on 170 homes. HFHMGC believes every family deserves a place they can call home and, as such, they are committed to providing the Mississippi Gulf Coast with clean, decent, affordable and safe homes. While eradication of poverty housing is a challenge in all locations, it is particularly challenging in light of Hurricane Katrina. For more information on HFHMGC and how to volunteer or donate, go to www.hfhmgc.org [2].
About Habitat for Humanity International

(WRCB) - Deputies in Catoosa County have identified the man shot and killed by police overnight.
Catoosa County Sheriff Phil Summers 19-year-old Nathan Lee Trew of Apison, Tennessee, was killed during an incident with deputies Tuesday night.
According to Sheriff Summers, residents in the Meadows subdivision called 911 to report a man walking in the subdivision with two duffle bags and a weapon.
Deputies determined that a home at 34 Millard Hill had been burglarized, with firearms among the stolen items.
Catoosa deputies brought in police dogs to begin tracking the suspect through the woods.
According to Sheriff Summers, deputies spotted an armed man near an abandoned house at the intersection of Ooltewah-Ringgold Road and Swanson Road.
Sheriff Summers says deputies approached Trew and demanded he drop his weapon.
According to the Sheriff, the suspect refused to be taken into custody, threatened suicide and told deputies he was not going to jail.
Sheriff Summers says Trew then raised his shotgun and aimed it at the deputies.
That's when a deputy, identified only as a detective sergeant employed by the sheriff's department for the past 14 years, opened fire on Trew, killing him with a single gunshot to the chest.
EMTs were called to the scene to aid the suspect, but proved unsuccessful.
The detective involved in the shooting has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation by Georgia Bureau of Investigation, a standard procedure following an officer-involved shooting.

Hampshire's Brendan Waterworth (22) passes the ball over Crystal Lake Central's Jake VanScoyoc during the second quarter of their game at Crystal Lake on Saturday. | John Konstantaras~For Sun-Times Media
Hampshire started Saturday's Fox Valley Fox showdown against conference favorite Crystal Lake Central with a 7-0 run, but would like to forget the game's final 29 minutes and 16 seconds.
Central 6-foot-7 center Kyle Fleck got into the game after sitting out the start because he was late to a practice and the Tigers rapidly turned into a completely different team in a 65-33 homecourt rout of Hampshire.
"I didn't like our energy to start the game," Central coach Rich Czeslawski said.
"We called timeout down 7-0 and talked about, 'where's the energy?'
"And it didn't get much better right away."
However, after Fleck came in later in the quarter, the energy started to pick up. And after trailing 13-7, Central went on to outscore Hampshire 24-6 in the second quarter and never was seriously challenged after that point.
Fleck finished with 17 points, four rebounds, three blocks and was primarily responsible for triggering numerous Tiger fast breaks for easy buckets as Central won for the 13th straight time. The Tigers' only loss came in the season-opener to Carmel.
"I'm disappointed in the way we reacted to some of the situations that occurred," Hampshire coach Bob Barnett said after his team fell to 12-3 overall and 1-1 in the FVC Fox.
"I know we shot horrid, but still the thing I told them is what disappointed me is we stopped relying on each other and we decided to go one on one, individual stuff.
"And we can't do that. Central is a good team, a great team, the best team we've faced all year. When they get physical like that we can't abandon what we try to do."
Hampshire went through a scoreless drought of 3:41 in the second quarter as the Tigers (13-1, 1-0) scored 12 straight points. Then Hampshire went scoreless in the third quarter for over four minutes while the Tigers scored 11 straight points to put the game away. Hampshire made just 7-of-39 shots from the field the final three quarters (18 percent).
"It was quite a drought," Barnett said. "I was spitting dust."
Guard Corban Murphy scored 13 points and guard Jake Van Scoyoc had 11 for Central.
But it Was Fleck who seemed to energize them after serving out his punishment.
"I was fine with it," he said of sitting out the start. "I wasn't going to pout about it. I just wanted to get in and help my team out."
Central's aggressive man-to-man shut down Hampshire scorers Tyler Crater and Shane Hernandez.
Crater finished with 10 points on 3-of-18 from the field, while Hernandez had eight points. Ryan Cork also struggled from the field to finish with four points on 2-of-13 from the floor.
"It never entered my mind we couldn't play with this team," Barnett said. "But it just snowballed.
"It's not like us."
