ONALASKA, Wisconsin (WXOW) - Third graders at Sand Lake Elementary have a unique science classroom: The Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge at Brice Prairie.
"Every child that I've brought out here thinks it's just a magical place," said Jodi Hoscheit, Sand Lake Elementary third grade teacher. "The kids get right down in [the prairie]. They find the small things that they wonder about. They get to see the eagles soaring over the air. Our last trip when we were gathering seed, we had a whole flock of sandhill cranes fly over us. They're still writing about that experience today. It's almost a month ago."
Unlike traditional classroom learning, students visiting the refuge use all of their senses to experience the world around them. Students can learn about a variety of environmental topics through interactive exhibits at the new visitor's center, and by gathering first hand experiences across the prairie's extensive landscape.
Paula Ogden-Muse, Visitor Services Manager for the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, said the location provides an instinctive and spontaneous learning environment for students.
"I stepped outside the door," said Ogen-Muse. "And am making sure all the students had their hats and their gloves on and their backpacks and everything. And I was talking to them. But man! They saw that grasshopper and I was irrelevant! And that is what I love. 'Cause I knew there's no way I can compete with that grasshopper and that daddy-longlegs. That's where the learning is. And, just let them go."
Outside, a group of third graders look for clues to figure out what kind of animals live in the prairie. They listen intently as a naturalist discusses a bird's nest a student found.
Inside, students dash between exhibits pointing enthusiastically at migratory birds mounted on the ceiling.
"Hands-on, minds-on," said Ogden-Muse. "I mean, listen to what's going on behinds us! They're not just answering those questions. They're looking at things. They're wondering about things. And it's launching them into a whole different world."
Sand Lake Elementary third graders will be visiting the National Wildlife and Fish Refuge at least once a month through June 2013. In January, they will be spreading seeds to help with the ongoing prairie restoration project. The students will be studying a variety of topics at the refuge that will be integrated into their everyday curriculum.
"It leaves a lasting impression. It is an emotional experience, the kids have wonder and excitement from what they're learning and involved in. That helps them to always remember it. It's way more memorable than an afternoon spent with a science text book."

Beyond our solar system
The Milky Way galaxy suspended in a glass cube
Behold: a galaxy suspended in a glass cube.
A laser was used to etch around 80,000 of the stars in the Milky Way, using three-dimensional data from the Japan's National Astronomical Observatory.
The first cube was produced for the "Window" exhibition at Mashiko/Starnet in 2005.
Due to government stipulations governing the use of observatory data, we were unable to release the cube for commercial sale immediately, however thanks to the tireless efforts of all those involved, it can at last be offered for sale.
In this version the overall dimensions of the cube have been reduced from the 15cm square of 2005, to 12cm. (Previously the glass block was too heavy and difficult to handle.)
Nobody has ever seen our galaxy from outside like this. And it is unlikely that mankind will reach anywhere with this sort of view for a very long time.
The same could once be said for Earth. Nobody had seen the overall view of our planet from outside. The first view of the Earth by humans from space was apparently via footage shot from an unmanned V2 rocket in 1946.
In any case, it was about 60 years ago. However world maps depicting the whole of the planet have been around for centuries. This for example is a map of the world drawn in France in 1760. Note the parts here and there where unfortunately they didn't get it quite right…
A world map in which imagination makes up for what experience and measurements fail to reveal.
In fact the three-dimensional data for the galaxy is apparently of a similar accuracy to world maps from the Age of Exploration. No one knows it all. There is a gas cloud at the center of the galaxy, and even using technology such as radio telescopes, we are still unable to build an accurate picture of what lies on the other side.
All the star data obtainable using the latest observation apparatus, and theoretical calculations by computer. Add some imagination to fill in the missing parts, and you have the maps of our galaxy that researchers around the world draw and compare among themselves. When it comes to galaxies, this is as far as mankind has come.
"Beyond the solar system" was built using data from a project dubbed 4D2U. The galactic data for 4D2U was produced by Eiichiro Kokubo, Assistant Professor in the Division of Theoretical Astronomy at the National Astronomical Observatory, and Kato Tsunehiko, now at Osaka University, based on the latest results of theoretical simulations.
This data is acknowledged internationally as some of the best-quality galactic data currently available.
We usually see this galaxy from the inside, as the "Milky Way". In it are the Sun, the Earth, and us.
Our world has a center. Outside it extends all this space.

Benton Harbor is preparing for a piece of history.
A 550 pound steel beam from the World Trade Center will become part of a new memorial in front of the Benton Harbor library.
It's making it's rounds throughout Southwest Michigan, but it will be a permanent fixture in Michiana. Wednesday, over 30 AmeriCorps and American Red Cross members worked on the landscaping where the new memorial will go. American Red Cross Representative, Breeze Ettl says the community should feel privileged to receive this piece.
"This memorial will signify hope, resurrection, people coming together and the community rebuilding. I hope people in this community will remember and reflect about that day and then remember all of the first responders," says Ettl.
This artifact is one of three in Michigan.

This all looks like hindsight now that Garcia got torched by a three-run homer, but if you'll allow me:
For six innings, Jaime Garcia rolled through the Phillies' lineup, keeping them off the board while accumulating a pitch total in the low 70s (different sources are saying different things for some reason).
It was a 0-0 tie in the bottom of the sixth when, with two outs, Ryan Theriot singled, and Jon Jay walked. That brought the pitcher's spot to the plate, and Tony La Russa elected to allow Garcia to hit, rather than go to the bench. Garcia struck out, and the game remained scoreless.
From a managerial standpoint, it's got to be very, very hard to remove a pitcher like Garcia in that situation. But from a statistical standpoint, I'm pretty sure the better move would've been to pinch-hit. La Russa had options on the bench, all of whom would've had better odds of getting a hit than Garcia. And even though Garcia would've been removed early, La Russa's bullpen is fresh, and good.
Seems to me you have to take a shot at going ahead there in the sixth. La Russa didn't, and he paid for it.

(I must give a big ol' hat tip to Craig Calcaterra of Hardball Talk who wrote about this earlier today. Please check out his write-up.)
Man, the 2013 Braves really love creating and then enforcing their own unwritten rules.
Chipper Jones threw out the first pitch last Thursday at the first game of the NLDS, held in delightful Atlanta. Were it not for the mascot, he'd have been throwing the pitch to thin air, as not one single Braves player volunteered to catch his first pitch. Why? Because the Chipster went on the radio and picked the Dodgers to win the NLDS over the Braves.
Yes, that is what earned the ire of the 2013 Braves.
Now, I am no supporter of Chipper Jones. But I have to give him credit for looking at the things happening in front of his face and then coming to a logical conclusion. The Braves, who played in the laughably sad NL East, were not as good as the Dodgers. When someone asks you to make your postseason picks, you're not picking who you want to win. You're picking who you think will actually win. Chipper, lifelong Brave on the fast track to sainthood, maybe wanted the Braves to win, but picked the Dodgers as the team that he thought would actually do the winning in the real world. The Braves, apparently taking offense to Chipper's newly acquired habit of making judgments based on facts, decided that they'd show him! Yeah, they'd show that Braves hero/demigod what it means to be a Brave! No facts! No thinking! Just blind, unfailing, never ending devotion to the team! If you can't give that to the team, then there will be no one but a foam/human filled mascot to catch your ceremonial first pitch.
The 2013 Braves have elevated pettiness to an art form. At once, this reaction seems both excessive (he's a beloved franchise icon, perhaps a little respect is in order) and excessively stupid (ooh, you're not going to catch his pitch! What next -- are you going to send him a chain letter? Prank call his house?). To accomplish both of those things in one reaction means we are (or were) in the presence of true greatness. Petty, petty greatness.
I love the kicker in the Post's blurb about this.
Former manager Bobby Cox threw out the ceremonial Game 2 first pitch to Tim Hudson.
Yes, the Braves were perfectly willing to catch the ceremonial first pitch of a man who was arrested for hitting his wife, but not of a man who picked the Dodgers to win the NLDS.
The 2013 Braves have made me take the side of Chipper Jones. I need one of those Silkwood showers.

Elvis Costello
~ Person
Are you thinking of adding an Elvis Costello album? Have you checked that the album doesn't already exist under one of his many collaborations like Elvis Costello & The Attractions, The Imposter or Elvis Costello & The Imposters?
It's a common mistake. If you're not 100% sure of what you're about to do, check there first as it will save you the effort of adding it only to have the add voted down.... Thanks for listening.
Born: Declan Patrick McManus on Aug 25, 1954 in Liverpool, England
Legal name: Declan Patrick MacManus
Also performs as: The Emotional Toothpaste, The Imposter (Elvis Costello)
Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick Aloysius MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk and new wave movement of the mid-to-late 1970s. His critically acclaimed debut album, My Aim Is True, was recorded in 1976. Shortly after recording his first album he formed The Attractions as his backing band. His second album, This Year's Model, was released in 1978, and was ranked number 11 by Rolling Stone on its list of the best albums of the period 1967–1987. Costello and The Attractions toured and recorded together for the better part of a decade, though differences between them caused a split by 1986. Much of Costello's work since has been as a solo artist, though reunions with members of The Attractions have been credited to the group over the years.
Steeped in wordplay, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image".
Costello has won multiple awards in his career, including a Grammy Award, and has twice been nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male. In 2003, Costello and The Attractions were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Costello number 80 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.Continue reading at Wikipedia...

Not sure how interested I am in giving up a 1st or 2nd round pick for a 27 year old CB who contract expires at the end of the year.
Quote from: warrenfb12 on January 24, 2013, 09:13:39 AMNot sure how interested I am in giving up a 1st or 2nd round pick for a 27 year old CB who contract expires at the end of the year.i wouldnt be thrilled about restructuring his contract for say 15mil per...but would you rather use a 1st round draft pick on a johnthan banks or xavier rhodes at 21 years old?
Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
How can you not want an "island"? We're pirates dammit!
Can the media knowing your intento be considered the sign of a good GM?
If one of the corners we get doesn't happen to be a baller, we're still at stage one of the grown process.Every QB in the bucs division can air out the ball. Signing revis would deffinately stop two things, a divisional rivial bringing him in, and teams being all pass happy on us. To me, it's imperative that the bucs make the greatest effort they can to solidify the cornerback position. There isn't a corner in this division remotely as talented as revis. The impact he might have is worth the risk IMO.
I think the Jets are going to have a hard time trading Revis before the draft... not because of Revis, but because of the Jets. According to KFFL.com, the Jets are already $19.4M over the 2013 salary cap and if they trade Revis before June 1, they're going to take a $9M cap hit. That would put them almost $30M over the cap. Another factor will be, does Revis want to hit the open market? Right now, he's still under team control but he knows that while teams could trade for him, that's only about 3 or 4 teams in the bidding. If he refuses to work on a long term deal with a potential suitor, he won't get traded and have potentially 31 teams bidding for him next March. Throw these two important aspects into the discussion... I doubt Revis gets traded for legit value. I think that if Revis gets traded, it won't be until June 1st. By then, the Bucs would probably have already signed one FA CB and drafted another. At that point, there's no reason why the Bucs should even contemplate trading for Revis.

"Queen's Bath" Limited Edition Print
"Inspired by the naturally-occurring tide pool known as Queen's Bath on the island of Kauai. The pool is elegantly and naturally carved into a lava shelf, on the edge of the ocean. While painting "Queen's Bath" my thoughts lingered to the warm waters, the rush from jumping off rock cliffs into the bright, clear sea water that flows in with the tides. Then the feeling of weightlessness that comes with floating under the surface of the warm water. There is a beautiful reverence and grace about the the stillness that comes between the tides, and then chaotic ripples of splashes and currents. It's paradise."
"Queen's Bath" is the newest limited edition print release in artist Charmaine Olivia's shop. Edition is limited to 50 prints.
- Every giclee is signed, numbered, and titled by Charmaine Olivia, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) issued direct from her studio.
- As always, every print issued from Charmaine's shop includes a free silhouette artist sticker.
- Each print measures 8" x 10" inches and is matted in an 11x14 inch white mat. Each is printed on BFK Rives 300 g/m2 paper. Our UltraChrome K3 ink has improved print permanence characteristics that provide lightfastness ratings of up to 108 years for color prints. These prints are stunningly beautiful, and we pride ourselves on the quality of each and every one produced!
- These are truly individual works of art. All prints are handled with archival care throughout printing, signing, handling, and shipping phases.

The Salem News
---- — To the editor:
SeniorCare Inc. would like to publicly thank the sponsors and guests who made our fourth annual Sunset Boat Cruise such a success.
Whenever programs that benefit others are underfunded, agencies must raise funds, and those who respond and participate, even if they are simultaneously having a great time, are helping their neighbors enormously. The proceeds from this event help elders and disabled adults in nine cities and towns to live more independently at home, or in a setting of their choice. A much wider variety of services and assistance is available because of such generosity.
This year, our cruise was underwritten by our premier sponsor, Associated Home Care. We thank Mike Trigilio and his staff for their gift, and for their cheerful company on board. Additionally, Sidekim Foods, our Meals on Wheels provider, supplied food for the trip and came on the cruise with us as well. Koozies, to help keep guests' drinks cold, were sponsored by ABC Home Healthcare Professionals and Aberdeen Home Care who also joined us for some smooth sailing.
Other corporate sponsors who deserve our thanks are: Action Inc., Bayada Home Health Care, Brightview Danvers, Bring Care Home, Cape Ann Savings Bank, Caregiver Homes, CleanPro, Elder Service Plan of the North Shore, Elder Services of the Merrimack Valley, First Ipswich Bank, Glovsky & Glovsky, Granite Savings Bank, Harborlight Community Partners, Hospice of the North Shore & Greater Boston, North Shore Elder Services, Right at Home, Rockport National Bank, Spectrum Adult Day Health Program, Bernard M. Sullivan Insurance, TLC at Home, United Healthcare Community Plan and W.B. Mason.
SeniorCare Executive Director, Scott Trenti, reiterated why it's so important to recognize community sponsorship of such events. He said, "With the assistance of our sponsors and guests, we are able to supplement the services we provide to others and enrich the quality of their lives helping them to remain independent. For this reason, we are very grateful to all who support us."
Thanks again to all who sponsored or attended.
Ann Springer
Public relations director

Reviewer: Seattlesister, 35-44 Female on Treatment for 1 to 6 months
Ease of Use
Rogaine should be taken off the market. I had a serious allergic reaction. My face, eyes,ears and neck are all swollen. I thought my throat was going to swell too.It has been 5days since I applied the foam and the swelling is still there. It took about a month for me to react to the minoxidil. Do not take unless you do a strip test. My derm suggested the men's rogaine. It can cause damage.

I had thinning hair and shedding and this seemed to help stop it. I've also seen some regrowth, but not as much as I would have liked . People seriously need to learn to read instructions.

Very disappointed! Used it for three weeks & more hair fell out than ever!! I stopped using it & immediatedly experienced less hair loss. Applying it was easy. Left enough of a greasy feel, which made styling a little more difficult but tolerable.

I sadly had to miss BB Ireland due to other commitments, but that only makes this new Big Break Atlantis that much more exciting for me.
As usual the stakes are high with the champion receiving an exception to the 2012 LPGA Kingsmill Championship, an Adams Golf endorsement contract (including $10K cash!), Dicks Sporting Goods $10K shopping spree, Atlantis Vacation for Two, and an Avis car rental credit for $10K. She can drive it all over the USA with her fully exempt status and all entry fees covered for a full season on the Symetra Tour.
Meghan Hardin
As Aubrey said during Happy Hour, those 75 yards felt like 250. I am sure Meghan Hardin was feeling every onen of them when she found herself in elimination.
I knew none of this season's contestants, but if the preview show and first episode are any indication of what's coming, I think we're going to be seeing a lot of drama on and off the course.
I knew immediately that I wanted to interview Natalia, given she's a fellow Canuck and friends with David Byrne. And when I heard about Anya's story and saw her on the preview show, I just had to talk to her.
Natalia Ghilzon joins us this week from Windsor, Ontario.
This golfgal had a pretty relaxing time on Day 1 with just a piece of glass standing between her and immunity. It didn't take her long to break through that obstacle and take the rest of the day off.
Sitting on the bench is usually a bad thing in sports, but not on this show. Let's hear what she thought of that experience...

Dominic Massa / Eyewitness News
Actor G.W. Bailey, best known for his roles in the "Police Academy" movies and the cable TV crime drama "The Closer," will reign as this year's Bacchus, the Carnival krewe has announced.
Bailey's recent career highlights have included a starring role on the TNT cable drama "The Closer." He appeared in all episodes during the show's seven-season run. Bailey now stars in a spinoff, "Major Crimes," continuing his role as Detective Lt. Louie Provenza.
Police roles have been his trademark, including Lt. (later promoted to Capt.) Thaddeus Harris, the Police Academy character in five of the popular 1980s movies.
His other law enforcement roles have included Sgt. Rizzo in M*A*S*H and Capt. Felix Maxwell in the 1980s movie "Mannequin."
Bailey is also one of the founders and current executive director of The Sunshine Kids Foundation, a non-profit for young cancer patients. Several Sunshine Kids are expected to make the trip to New Orleans to ride with Bailey in the parade. Bailey has worked with the group for more than 15 years, since being introduced to the organization by his goddaughter, who was diagnosed with leukemia.
"G.W.'s commitment to young cancer patients ties in well with Bacchus' work each year at Children's Hospital," said krewe captain Pip Brennan. "We know G.W. is looking forward to both meeting the patients at Children's and reigning over Mardi Gras' premier parade."
Bacchus introduced the celebrity monarch concept in 1969, with Danny Kaye as the first god of wine.
Popular Bacchus monarchs in recent years have included Drew Brees and actors Will Ferrell, James Gandolfini, Andy Garcia and Val Kilmer.
Favorites from years past include Bob Hope, Jackie Gleason, Perry Como, Kirk Douglas, and Ed McMahon.
Bacchus rolls on Feb. 10 on the Uptown parade route.

The Green Bay Packers are close to cutting tackle Chad Clifton, according to Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole.
Clifton has been with the team since 2000 when they drafted him in the second round of the NFL Draft out of Tennessee.
He has played in 164 games for Green Bay, starting 159 of them. A member of the Super Bowl-winning 2011 squad, he has been to the Pro Bowl twice (2007, 2010). In 2003, he played all 1,031 offensive snaps that season and contributed to establishing a team record for fewest sacks allowed in a season (19).
The Packers re-signed Clifton to a three-year, $20 million contract in 2010. He received $7.5 million guaranteed in the deal.
Meanwhile, Cole mentions that the Packers are focusing on restructuring wide receiver Donald Driver's contract in order to retain him in 2012.

Ok. Erich Von Daniken was prone to wild speculation and telling fairy tales but stories of visitors from the sky go back thousands of years.
Ancient Astronauts - General
The sighting of strange objects in the sky may actually predate the emergence of modern man. Perhaps the earliest depiction of cylindrical objects resembling spacecraft, with what might be their extraterrestrial occupants, are those carved on a granite mountain and on rocks on an island in Hunan Province, China. They have been assigned a tentative age of 47,000 years, which puts them within the time-span of Neanderthal man, predating modern Homo sapiens.
We exist. That is beyond dispute. According to what we know about life and how it evolves the spontaneous creation of complex molecules appears to be inevitable under the right circumstances. It is built into matter itself and we know there are billions of earth-like planets within our galaxy. Life has had billions of years to evolve on myriad worlds so many alien travellers could have visited our world.
In Australia there are many rock paintings of lights in the sky. Aboriginals have told me they have dream time stories about these enigmatic objects which go back tens of thousands of years. Perhaps we are a novelty to the neighbours. A safari park of sorts.

45 companies announce layoff's in the past 48 hours! This is what the people wanted! The people have spoken!—

Earlier today, Twitchy related some heartbreaking stories of small business owners laying off workers to avoid the economic impact of the Obamacare tax that isn't a tax. Comedian Jon Lovitz, a small business owner himself, was no barrel of laughs either as his timeline filled with stories of impending downsizing. So, what about those big corporations? Boeing's defense division announced yesterday it would cut 30 percent of management staff, and the company was not alone, we're learning.

Straddling the Kennebunk River, within range of the salty scent of the Atlantic, Kennebunk's Lower Village and Kennebunkport's Dock Square are like two claws of a lobster making one tasty destination. Or maybe I simply have lobster on the brain after a weekend visit to this lively seaside destination. Located less than two hours from Boston, the summer hometown of our 41st president, George H. W. Bush and former shipbuilding hub sparkles with unexpected style while remaining true to its rocky coastal heritage....continue reading...

Knuckle Up #467: Eugene S. Robinson, the host/fist, walks around the ridiculously sublime arithmetic that made a man out of RampageJackson and why Bellator did it, the freakonomics of living under bridges and in carports, and why this signals the first major indication that the MMA mob war has begun in earnest. Back that up to GSP's attempts to telepathically create the reality where Chris Weidman does anything but LOSE against Anderson Silva, as well as Anderson Silva's real game plan versus the young and irritable Jon "Bones" Jones, and the breakdown, brief as it might be, on UFC on Fuel TV 10.
Which is to say: Werdum and Thiago Silva. Which you are recommended to place in your pipe and smoke.
And in the 209 two enterprising young men go "hunh?"
Eugene S. Robinson host of Knuckle Up and author of Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You'd Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking [Harper Collins], A LONG SLOW SCREW [Robotic Boot] and a play calledTHE INIMITABLE SOUNDS OF LOVE; A THREESOME IN FOUR ACTS [Southern] also sings for a band called OXBOW and appeared in Bill Cosby's Leonard Part 6, and a Miller Genuine Draft commercial. And he does not drink beer. And if he did it would not be Miller.
And did we mention our sponsors? Skullgame.com? And have you bought a shirt yet? Oh. You'd rather TapOut it, eh? We mock you. Who? The world that's who.
KNUCKLE UP! [Free t-shirts to anyone caught on video screaming this while they're being arrested!!!]...sponsored by our friends at www.skullgame.com. It's a sunny ride through a shady place. Enjoy.

Story:My office was in Tower One...
As Information System Audit Project Leader and acting head of the department, I arrived at work as usual around 6:30 a.m., sipped tea as I read and answered my e-mail, reviewed my meeting schedule and prepared other work. Around 8:20 a.m., I called a prespecitve IS Auditor candidate to discuss our company's continued interest in him; around 8:27 a.m. we hung up. Our Financial Management Network (FMN) coordinator came to my office door to ask if I was going to attend the FMN session, I said, "yes". As our video and discussion sessions started at 8:45 a.m., I went to our 29th floor NE conference room around 8:42 a.m.
I was handed a sign-in sheet and the FMN coordinator left the room to see if others were going to attend the session. Around 8:44 a.m. I heard what sounded like the whine of an incoming missile (I thought "are we under attack?" and tried to imagine from where a missile could possibly have been launched.)I heard a thunderous BOOM; the building shook violently and the floor (each floor was approximately one acre in size) did a rolling wave; I saw debris falling past the windows.
I left the conference room and saw a co-worker standing spread eagle. He said he thought it was an earthquake, I told him something big had hit the building as there was debris falling from higher up and raining past the windows. I asked him if he had heard the incoming sound but apparently he had not.
I went to my office to get my purse. I hesitated as to whether I should pick up my briefcase and my walking shoes but as I looked out my door, I our departmental Vice President and her assistant running out. I heard our disaster floor monitor say "everyone out". I headed to the exit door without my bag and shoes. As I exited, someone said he was going to the elevator, I shouted "use the stairs".
I entered the stairwell with other co-workers; we started walking down in an orderly and quiet fashion.
One guy said it felt just like an earthquake and I said it didn't feel like any earthquake I had ever experienced in Los Angeles from Sylmar to Northridge including the Loma Prieta.
We continued to descend from the 29th floor. Around the 25th floor, there were 2 people wetting down a man who was having an asthma attack. We encountered the first of a steady line of fire fighters who looked winded and extremely hot and tired. They were fully outfitted in their fire fighting gear plus carrying extra fire hoses, air tanks, face masks, and cutting equipment.
The asthmatic sat down on the right side (my left side) of the stairwell in the oncoming path of the fire fighters. As I recall, one firefighter attempted to assist the asthmatic man down the stairs because the asthmatic had fallen over and was blocking the path up the stairwell.
I continued down the stairs. I lost sight of my co-workers who had passed me on the steps; I found myself with people from the 31st floor.
I looked at the firefighters and noted their age as being between mid-twenties and mid-thirties with the exception of a few "seasoned" individuals. I wanted to say something to them to encourage them as they seemed out on their feet. I put my hand on the shoulder of one of the firefighters and said, "you guys have got a lot of heart". He smiled and said "thank you". I thought I saw the others straighten up a little and walk with a little more purpose.
During the descent, we had no idea about what could have happended. A man behind me said he got a message from his wife on his message pager that said a plane had hit the building. We wondered if it was an accident.
Somewhere around floor 20 or 19, the stairwell shook. The man with the message pager got another message from his wife that a second plane had struck Tower II. We then knew it was deliberate and put some pep in our step. I now was with some people from the 51st floor as someone asked what floor they were from.
At floor 9, the overhead sprinklers were on all the way to floor 1. Around floor 3, structural damage could be seen; the same at 2. When we emerged from the stairwell at 1, the marble-lined lobby was in shambles. The lobby looked as though a bomb had gone off and the elevator wells imploded. The sprinklers were still on but the smell of jet fuel and the dust and smoke was not as bad there.
Port Authority police directed us to the escalator just past the Tourneau watch shop. We ascended the escalator to the lobby of WTC5 and out the door next to Borders book store. More Port Authority police were outside to direct us away from the building. The police officers were saying, "away from the building, away from the building, don't look up, don't look back, keep moving, keep moving, keep moving, don't use your cell phones, keep moving".
I walked across the street and up Fulton. Some people told me they waw the second plane circle around and fly into the second tower. About halfway up the block, I saw a large puddle of something red. It had the consistency of catsup but was bright red. I saw a pair of cork-soled platform black wedgies next to the puddle and a white towel partially saoked in the blood. A guy I didn't know came up to me and told me I didn't want to know what had been there. I said I did. He said someone's head had landed there and squashed on impact but it had been taken away. He said they couldn't find the body.
I observed people just standing around; some dazed, some in hysterics, some trying to use their cell phones. Others just milling around. I continued down Fulton chatting with the stranger who told me he worked for the Fulton Fish Market. I turned to look at the buildings. They were both ablaze. I would see thick black smoke, flames, debris falling and people jumping. As we neared the South Street Seaport, the stranger met some friends and stopped to chat. All taxis were full, I saw no municipal buses.
A red/white/blue Waterway ferry bus came along and I flagged it. The driver asked me where I was going , I said "NJ". He motioned to come aboard. I talked to the other passengers and listened to their stories, except for one rather nervous woman who wanted to go to Weehawken. We zig-zagged our way cross town to the 34th Street pier.
At the pier, there was a crowd of people numbering around 1500. We quickly saw there was only one ferry running. I saw a woman walking along and spoke to her. She said it was such a strange day. As the crowd moved forward, after standing in line about 5 minutes, some new comers said the towers had collapsed. From our location, we could only see the black smoke despite the sky being clear. No one wanted to believe the towers were gone.
The ferry arrived. I stayed near the open end so I could look out at NYC as we left for NJ. There were only a few puffy clouds in the sky and the vapor trail of a very high flying plane (probably military) and the thick black smoke.
Upon docking at Weehawken (NJ), we disembarked and assembled in queues by destination and waited for the shuttle buses to arrive. After waiting 10-15 minutes, another red/white/blue Waterway bus arrived to take us to Hoboken terminal. The ride took about 15 minutes because the driver was letting people off at the regularly scheduled stops.
When we arrived at Hoboken terminal, we were let off about 2 blocks away and walked in. The police had completely cordoned off the perimeter and no one really knew how we were to gain access to the station. One police officer had the presence of mind to raise the yellow tape and let us go to the station. Once in the station, I checked the board to see what time the Bayhead train was scheduled to depart (2:12 p.m.) and it was only a little before noon. I went to the ticket window to see which train I could take to Newark. I was told to go to Customer Service which was set-up as an emergency command center. They told me to take the Gladstone train to the Newark Broad Street station. I asked a conductor where to catch that train, he said track 17. I went to track 17, boarded the train and sat down wet and dusty. No tickets were checked.
When we arrived at Newark and descended the steps, there was a NJ transit bus waiting to take us to Newark Penn Station. The bus let us off 2 blocks away and we walked in. I walked to the station checked the board to see what track I needed to go to. I went to track 3. There was an Amtrak train waiting to leave but couldn't because it couldn't close its doors. They said they were waiting for the delivery of a cable that would allow them to close the doors and leave. They expected there to be a 10-15 minute wait.
I went inside the waiting room to use the pay phone. There were 2 women taking turns using the phone. Finally one finished and told me a call would go through faster if I called collect. I tried to use my phone card but it didn't work, so I used collect. My cousin answered at home and I told her to tell my Mom I was all right, at Newark Penn station, and on my way home and hung up.
Upon going back to track 3, the Amtrak train's doors were closed and it left about 5 minutes later. We could see the NJ Transit train waiting to advance to the platform. We boarded, the train left the station. At least 1/2 of the people in our car had been at or near the World Trade Center (WTC) and were wet like me or sooty. We discussed facts about the WTC and our individual experiences that day. One pregnant woman had trekked to the ferry from the WTC on foot carrying a laptop and her purse. She got off at Matawan.
I arrived in Red Bank around 3:08 p.m., still damp, wrinkled and a little sooty. I arrived home in Fair Haven around 3:15 p.m. I sat in the same spot almost constantly for two days watching TV following September 11, 2001.
I had no bad dreams nor do I have any today. I have seen occurrences of the 1960's; having lived in Boston and LA, I saw the earthquakes, wild fires, civil disobedience, and day-to-day violence coupled with what we see at the movies and on TV and I realize I have been left a little numb. Not that I'm not concerned for those who were injured (physically and mentally) and for those who lost their lives, being there and seeing it up close, there was a disconnect from the reality of it all.

Time to End the Post-Election Hangover
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I was pretty satisfied with the election results. I know many in the market weren't and I am sympathetic to that. But when it gets in the way of making money, I lose patience with grieving.
That's what is happening right now. A lot of traders apparently bought into the political spin of their party leaders, assuming bad motives on the part of the other side, and the result is clear in the latest American Association of Individual Investors sentiment index -- a sharp fall into bearish territory since November 6. One trader put this on a chart and posted it to Twitter.
I see it every day -- hundreds of comments on stories trying to re-litigate the election on SeekingAlpha.com, crickets when I write about real market opportunities on that site.
Investors are suddenly more bearish than at any time this year. They're more bearish than they were in May, when USA Today said no one wanted stocks anymore, as Barry Ritholz wrote at the time,. Even more bearish than June, when AmericanManufacturing.org was collecting "oh noes" about China.Or, as CNBC put it all last week: Fiscal cliff! Fiscal cliff! Fiscal cliff! Well, fiscal cliff schmiscal cliff. First, let's get two things straight. Mitt Romney is not a fascist, and Barack Obama is not a Kenyan Muslim Socialist. Their differences are minor compared with what they agree on. If you're buying or selling assets based on a caricature, based on politics, you're losing money in any market.
Here's the truth. The American economy is in pretty good shape, compared to the rest of the world. You can throw darts at a board, or you can buy the New York Stock Exchange (SPY) or Nasdaq (QQQ) ETFs and come back five years from now with more money than you started with. Consumers are less debt-ridden than at any time since 2003, as The FiscalTimes writes. We have a natural gas glut we can't export, MoneyNews writes, meaning energy inputs cost less here. And when that glut ends, we make more money. The dimensions of a sustainable recovery are also coming into focus. We are approaching energy abundance, not just oil and gas abundance but abundance in technologies that produce alternatives to oil and gas, and use that energy more efficiently.

Business owners like Alan Brown are bracing for what federal budget cutbacks could do to Liberty County's economy. Furloughs for civilian employees at Fort Stewart could leave them with less money in their paychecks and that strain would be passed onto the local market.
"We're always worried when we hear about this stuff because the numbers are so huge," said Brown, a local realtor. "We have resigned ourselves to hope it won't be as bad as it could be."
Fort Stewart, its soldiers and staff have an economic impact of $5 billion per year. But under the cuts brought by sequestration, civilian employees would be furloughed 22 days over the rest of the fiscal year. That would mean roughly one day per week.
Colonel Kevin Gregory, garrison commander for Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield, told those attending a Chamber of Commerce meeting Thursday that they have been ordered to construct a plan if a budget compromise is not reached by April 22.
Gregory said the plan would protect services to soldiers and families as much as possible.
"We would maintain those services as much as possible. However, we might not have the grass around post mowed every week. At the hospital, it might take longer to get a call answered on the phone because a percentage of staff could be furloughed at any given time," he explained.
Colonel Gregory also noted the cuts would not impact troops currently deployed. However, it could affect the training of brigades currently training to deploy. Meanwhile, they have implemented a hiring freeze on vacant civilian positions and they've cut back on some non-emergency building maintenance.
Many gathered at the meeting voiced a hope that a compromise in Congress would find cuts in federal spending without impacting the local military or local economy.
