According to our Mission Statement, the curriculum of the College of Liberal Arts and its extracurricular activities are intended to help students achieve three basic goals: (1) to acquire by means of scholarship a rich knowledge of facts and concepts; (2) to enhance one's capacity for tolerance, for responsibility toward the natural world, and for judgment in ethics and the arts; and (3) to develop intellectual curiosity and lifelong habits of independent learning.
The intellectual atmosphere at Willamette University, including classroom and extracurricular activities, fosters all three goals and encourages a sense of community that nourishes intellectual inquiry, multicultural awareness, environmental responsibility, and moral sensibility.
Major requirements ensure depth as well as breadth of study. Sustained inquiry in a major allows students to learn material in greater depth and detail than is possible in introductory courses, and to achieve competence in specific research methodologies and in oral and written communication skills.
To complement the depth of study in the major, the General Education Program is designed to develop students' ability to apply overlapping forms of scholarship and investigation in responding to the world around them, solving problems, and establishing the habits of mind and intellectual framework necessary for a lifetime of learning.
World Views is a theme-based seminar required of all entering first-year students (see course description for IDS 123 World Views: The Making of the Modern World). The seminar provides a common experience for all first-year students and serves as an introduction to the liberal arts tradition in which Willamette is deeply rooted. Critical discussion and writing are emphasized in this interdisciplinary course taught by faculty from across the curriculum in sections of approximately 16 students. Students receive one book for the seminar during the summer before arriving on campus and have this reading in common with other entering students.
The World Views theme changes every four years; new themes are selected by vote of the faculty, and program faculty design a common syllabus.
The World Views Seminar has a time-honored 16-year tradition at Willamette. Beginning in 1987, the first World Views Seminar examined Victorian England in an effort to discover antecedents of contemporary thought. The second seminar (1991-1994) looked at modern Latin America to explore alternate visions of the New World experience. The third seminar (1995-1998) studied the origins of the world views of the contemporary Middle East, with particular attention to the influence and development of Islam and Judaism. The fourth incarnation of World Views (1999-2002) examined the world view of Athenian Greeks in the 5th century BCE, whose early achievements in democracy, literature, philosophy, and science form the very fabric of Western culture.
The World Views theme beginning in academic year 2003-2004, War and Its Alternatives, engages students with classical and contemporary texts about human warfare. This theme explores the origins and causes of wars and their ethical and social consequences.
All entering students become part of the writing culture at Willamette through a series of four writing-centered courses taken throughout their college careers. The program, which was initiated in 1995-96, has two central goals: the use of writing to develop understanding of course content across the disciplines, and the progressive development of fluency in writing for a variety of audiences, both general and disciplinary.
The Writing Center, housed in Matthews Hall, supports the program by providing opportunities for students at all levels to confer individually with faculty and peer consultants about their writing.
The first writing-centered course for most students will be the first-year World Views seminar. For single majors, additional courses will include a writing-centered credit in the major, a writing-centered credit outside the major, and a writing-centered credit in any field (inside or outside the major). At least one of these credits must be an upper-division course at the 300 or 400 level. For double majors, additional courses will include a writing-centered credit in the first major, a writing-centered credit in the second major, and a writing-centered credit in any field (inside or outside the major). At least one of these credits must be an upper-division course at the 300 or 400 level.
For transfer students, the first requirement for a writing-centered course will be waived for students transferring in at the second-semester and beyond, provided the student has taken the equivalent of one credit of a course similar to our writing-centered course offerings.
Students transferring in as juniors may request transfer credit for a second writing-centered course by submitting a petition and portfolio. This option will be extended to junior transfers during the admission process. Petition forms and guidelines for the portfolio are available in the Registrar's Office. The deadline for exercising this option will be the end of their first semester at Willamette. Junior transfer students whose petitions are granted will be required to take two writing-centered courses, one in their major and one upper-division course outside of their major.
Writing-centered courses to be offered each semester will be designated by a W in the Schedule of Classes, and students must pass four of these with a grade of C- or higher in order to complete the Writing Program. The following courses are currently approved by the faculty to meet writing program requirements:
Quantitative reasoning is a versatile and powerful way to understand the world. Graduates of Willamette University should be conversant with mathematics and quantitative reasoning, and should learn to apply quantitative reasoning to understand and solve everyday problems. Formal reasoning and logic are central to decision-making in an uncertain world and are essential to a liberal arts education.
To satisfy the Quantitative and Analytical Reasoning requirement, students will be required to receive credit for two courses. At least one of these credits must be designated by an asterisk (*) in the following list. Courses with the asterisk (*) designation are designed to expand students' quantitative boundaries and provide them with the skills necessary to interpret and apply mathematics. The other courses designated to fulfill this requirement are those in which quantitative reasoning and/or mathematical analysis are at the core of understanding the context of the course. These courses may be disciplinary-based applications of quantitative methodology, like physics or computer science, or may be mathematics and statistics courses. Whether applied or theoretical, the key characteristic of these courses is that the concepts in them cannot be grasped without an understanding of quantitative methods.
The following courses are currently approved by the faculty to meet the Quantitative and Analytical Reasoning requirement (minimum grade of C- required):
There are three ways of satisfying the Language requirement:
a. Complete the fourth semester (L232) or higher of a foreign language course with a minimum grade of C-; or pass an examination demonstrating the equivalent of two years of college language study (e.g., achieve a minimum score of 4 on the AP exam; achieve a score of 5 or better on the higher level International Baccalaureate exam; pass an exam administered by one of the following departments: Classics, French and Italian, German and Russian, Japanese and Chinese, or Spanish); or present evidence of a primary language other than English to the Registrar's Office.
b. Complete the second semester (or higher) of a foreign language course (L132) with a minimum grade of C-, plus one additional semester of intensive study abroad in that language (the foreign study program must be approved and must fulfill Willamette's requirements).
c. Complete the third semester of a foreign language course (L231) with a minimum grade of C-, plus one semester of a course (possibly taught in English) that normally deals with the culture or literature of the language studied, or with linguistics. The following courses are currently approved by the faculty to meet the 4th semester language requirement:
Students are required to complete work (with a minimum grade of C-) in six broadly defined Modes of Inquiry; although these six experiences can be acquired in a variety of contexts, the Willamette faculty believes they can best be learned in general education courses that are explicitly designed for all students. The range of courses available allows students a great deal of choice and flexibility in constructing their general education program. Courses satisfying the Modes of Inquiry may be confined to a single discipline, or may be interdisciplinary in their approaches as well as content. These courses may be offered by individual faculty or by teams of faculty; they may stand alone or may serve as part of a cluster of courses dealing with a common theme. Modes of Inquiry courses may be designed and designated to satisfy one or possibly two of the six categories, but not more than two. Those designated for two categories must meet the full requirements and conditions of both Modes. Even though courses may be designated to satisfy two categories, each student must take at least five courses in satisfying the six requirements. In addition, students will not be allowed to satisfy more than two of the Modes with courses from any single department.
Following are brief descriptions of the six Modes of Inquiry. Please note that courses from a variety of disciplines will be designated to fulfill each Mode.
Courses satisfying this requirement apply the methodology of science to examine the natural world. These courses include a laboratory or field component in which students investigate natural phenomena. Students in these courses should:
The following courses are currently approved by the faculty to meet the Understanding the Natural World requirement:
Courses satisfying this requirement seek to provide an understanding of the creative process as a means of discovery, exploration, and self-expression. Students in these courses should:
The following courses are currently approved by the faculty to meet the Creating in the Arts requirement:
*To receive Creating in the Arts credit in Music Ensemble courses, students must take four compatible Music Ensemble courses.
** To complete the Creating in the Arts credit in dance classes, students must satisfactorily complete two of THTR 175, 180, 181, 182, 282, 283, 284, and 384 OR a student may repeat any one of these classes in order to fulfill the CA requirement.
Courses satisfying this requirement focus on the critical analysis and evaluation of the principles of reasoned normative discourse. Students in these courses should:
The following courses are currently approved by the faculty to meet the Analyzing Arguments, Reasons, and Values requirement:
Courses satisfying this requirement develop students' understanding of the temporal dimension of human social existence. By studying historical periods and cultures, students in these courses should:
The following courses are currently approved by the faculty to meet the Thinking Historically requirement:
Courses satisfying this requirement develop students' skills in analyzing and understanding textual representations of human experience. These criteria construe the notion of "text" broadly. The texts being analyzed might include literary works, films, music compositions, rituals, performances, or ethnographies. A text for these purposes is one that reveals its meaning to or intelligibly challenges a coherent practice of interpretation. Of course, a given text may do both. Furthermore, courses that satisfy this requirement should encourage students to consider the relationship between texts discussed and particular form/s of culture they may express or help constitute. In studying these texts and the process of their interpretation, students in these courses should:
The following courses are currently approved by the faculty to meet the Interpreting Texts requirement:
Courses satisfying this requirement develop students' understanding of social phenomena by analyzing and explaining human behavior and social institutions and practices. Students in these courses should:
The following courses are currently approved by the faculty to meet the Understanding Society requirement:
Clusters are general education courses in more than one Mode of Inquiry that are thematically related. Students who wish to explore the interrelationships of knowledge in various fields of study in the context or a common theme may choose to enroll in two or more courses in a cluster. Clustered courses are a general education option for all students. Four clusters are currently available:
The Death Cluster includes courses concerned with life, living, health, identity, longevity, suffering, dependence, interdependence, disease, dying, death, fatality, finitude, memory, mourning, mortality, and immortality. What unites these courses in their treatment of such themes is the recognition that while death is a fundamental and inescapable feature of the human condition, it does not receive the self-conscious public attention it warrants. Each of the courses, then, in its respective disciplinary ways but also crucially in cross-disciplinary ways, strives to reflect upon the meaning and significance of death and mortality. Thus, for example, death has inspired and served as the subject of musical expression and composition for centuries. Changes in the conception of death figure prominently in the history of medical purposes and practices. Death motivates the biological study of microorganisms and infectious diseases. It is imbued with intense sociological meanings and embedded in complex cultural practices such as bereavement. Finally, death also figures conspicuously in moral and political controversies pertaining to contemporary public policy. Some of these courses will also offer service-learning opportunities pertaining to mortality.
Students who are interested in studying the natural world and its relationship to human beings, social structures, and creative expression, who are anxious to explore the "web of life," might wish to enroll in courses that are part of the Environmental Cluster.
The Indigenous Peoples and Cultures Cluster offers a range of courses that engage students in the study of some of the world's indigenous peoples. Through these courses, students will gain insight into the historical and cultural background informing the contemporary resurgence of indigenous people in both domestic and international realms.
As the global economy, modern transportation, and the internet have drawn East and West closer together, it has become increasingly important that students have the opportunity to explore the diversity of human experience in this part of the world. The Asia cluster brings together a group of courses that focus on Asian history, art, literature, religion, society, and philosophy.

Corey Liuget vs Ohio State (via AloAloysius)
6-2, 300 lbs
2010: 12.5 TFL, 4.5 sacks
I've read in a few places that Rex is apparently in LOVE with this guy. And after reading that I decided to look for myself and its easy to see why. The guy is just explosive and seems to live in the backfield. But I think that what is probably my favorite thing about this guy is that his name is pronounced "LEGIT." Can't hate that.
I first came across Liuget by accident. I'm a big fan of Mikel Leshoure (Illinois RB who I would LOVE for the Jets to draft, but thats for another day) and tried to watch him whenever I could. I didn't really know anything about Liuget at the time but kept noticing what a pain in the ass he was for opponents. He was always in the backfield blowing things up. I mean a lot. And you know a DL is disruptive when you keep noticing him when you're not specifically watching him. So needless to say, I wasn't suprised to see him ranked pretty high at the end of the season.
However, like a lot of people, my first thoughts were that he was more of a 34 DE or 43 gap-shooting DT. I didn't really see that as being enough of a priority for the Jets in the first round. He's not really a gap-shooter like I thought. Don't get me wrong though, he can do that. But what I mean is, he's more than just that. A lot more.
What impresses me the most is that he seems to always win "the first punch" battle. By that I mean he always seems give his opponent a jolt that pushes them backwards. And thats what I see him doing more often than not in the tape above. He gets into his guy, stands him, and pushes him back. Mano y mano. But you also see a lot of the little crafty moves and discipline you might find from a savvy veteran.
Some of my favorite plays from the clip:
0:50 -- straight up stuffs a run play. OSU runs a draw to his side, he stands his man up and pushes him into the ball carrier. The play is totally blown up.
2:10 -- Its a pass play and he runs a stunt where he has outside contain. His responsibility is not to get to the passer but to create confusion for the OL and hopefully get a free run for the DE looping inside. The DE gets blown up buy Liuget stays disciplined in his lane, and gets his hands up to disrupt the pass, and it results in a pick.
2:25 -- Not even sure if this is a good play but I just like it. OSU runs a draw to his side again, and he does some kind of weird one-man stunt. Pretty sure he was running a stunt with the other DT but I'm not sure. Anyway... the OG on the play is doubling the DE, then he slides off to pick up Liuget, who's coming back into the running lane, and Liuget just trucks right through him and makes the tackle. The OG got totally punked.
***2:55 -- This is my absolute favorite. Liuget is shooting the inside gap, he reads run to his outside shoulder on a cut-back, so he chucks the guard (Reggie White style) to the inside with his outside arm, and swallows up the RB for a tackle for loss. Thats how real men play football.
I'm still kinda torn about using a first round pick on Liuget. I really like him and I think he could be a really good player. But I don't think his ceiling is as high as say a Phil Taylor or Kenrick Ellis. If he could add 20 lbs without losing his ability to uncoil and get that pop off scrimmage, I'd be 100% behind taking him at 30 (if he's there). But I think that he's much better suited to play DT in a 43 defense than he is to playing in a 34. Right now, at 300 lbs, I think he could be very effective as a 34 DL, but not enough to force constant double teams and to hold his ground against them if he does draw them, which is kinda the requirement in a 34 defense.
However, what makes me torn about him is the prospect of putting him at NT on passing downs. I think he could hold up and be just fine on running downs as a 34 DE. He gets enough initial pop that he probably won't get pushed around by bigger OTs. But I think that by putting him at NT on passing downs, he could develop into quite the demon. Like I said before he gets a good busrt off the snap, and he's got a lot of interior moves to resort to, and he's a high motor extremely active and violent guy. So if he's there to be had, and we do take him, I'd be cautiously excited about it.

Quantum computing and open source
With the arrival of the "first commercially available quantum computer," the D-Wave One, we look at what it is and what open source can contribute.
In the observable world that we inhabit on a daily basis, any given object typically has separate, well-defined sets of states: it either is or it isn't. Everything else is merely variations on that theme.
In the domain of quantum mechanics, where effect can sometimes precede cause – and other such wacky constructs – states can actually be something quite a bit less defined: something in between. Instead of a ball being red or blue, for instance, it can be purple. But not just any one shade of purple: It can be more reddish, more bluish, or anything in between – at the same time.

|Junior Dos Santos Gets A Lesson From Anderson Silva On The Ric Flair Figure Four Leg Lock.
haha and the Winner by Figurefour leg lock anderson silva silva 2 sonnen 0 lol
nice!=) haha! old times!=)
Ok, the figure 4 as an MMA move, I can roll with that. But if anyone ever teaches GSP the Boston Crab, I'm changing over to watching muay thai forever.
mean whooooooooooo gene!
lol, I was teaching an ankle lock the other day that was basically a less showboaty version of the scorpion death lock
Boston crab… What about the camel clutch… That would be awesome
maybe a silva can invite ryo chonan to teach dos santos the flying heel hook =D
Silva doesn't have the proper form. The leg that is bent (left leg) needs to be crossed above the (right) knee. The leg that is straight (right) needs to be posted up against Silva's body, so when he sits up it acts as a knee bar on the straight leg. Hope that makes sense.
I used to do that move a lot when I was a kid.
would not be surprised if he pulled this off n his next fight
Man its all about the crippler crossface
Makes perfect sense, though I bet it's pretty hard to get the guy on bottom to allow a 45degree bend. Definitely not by pushing on it with the hand.
I dont think well ever see that done in the UFC
i wont be happy until i see the texas cloverleaf in a mma match. dean malenko vs anderson silva! make it happen ufc!
Mexican Surfboard FTW
Yeah, I hate it when BJJ black belts/one of the p4p best fighters in the world try to act like they know anything about fighting. Really, I'm embarrassed for him.
What about the Crippler Crossface?
I tried to put this on my little brother last night and tapped myself out!
Man, all Cigano/Undertaker has to do is flip over. Then the move is reversed! lol ♠
Looks like if you push down on the leg which is crossed on top, it could put pressure the knee of the leg on the bottom. Try to set it up so that the is right over the kneecap.
figure 4 leg lock hurts really really really bad, if some1 did happen to lock it in in a UFC match they'd get a W
@unzofsteel Im divided between your memory as a kid doing the figure 4 vs Anderson Silva..sorry enough sarcasm (kinda banged out) its cool that you broke it down on the real way, maybe hes right guys…
next lesson – 'texas clover leaf'
I once made a guy verbally quit with a camel clutch in frestyle wrestling except I was laying on my side across the back instead of sitting on the camel's back

Upon Reading the game treads on BBV the last two weeks and seeing the misery that the Giants performance on the field has caused my football fan brothers to the north, I decided to come up with a little betting game that can distract you when the Giants' performance is not up to par or to keep you interested while they are blowing out one of the NFL's weak sisters.
How it works is I will set an over/under number for how many times a certain subject matter or phrase is posted in the game thread and you guys can either pick against me or just count them up to see how close I come to the real number.
Over/Unders for the Washington game thread 1/2/2011
Posts with "Fire Tom Coughlin" in it
This one really depends on how the team is doing. I'm going to say it will be a close game with the Giants winning in the end
The Pick 54
Posts that complain about Tuck or Osi being in coverage
Depends on how badly the player is burnt or how anemic the pass rush is during these plays.
The Pick 19
Posts that tell us it's not Eli's Fault
Since Eli averages a little over two turnovers a game and he has a nice group of people here that have his back, I'll go a little high.
The Pick 32
Posts that have the phrases "Fire Quinn" or "Our special teams suck" in them
Now we're getting into some of the high number picks.
The Pick 140
Posts that complain about holding calls that the refs miss
This one is huge
The Pick 296
Posts where one Giants fan calls another a troll for making a negative comment
This one is getting more and more frequent
The Pick 23
Posts that begin "With all the talent on this team" but end with a negative comment
Starting to see this one here almost as often as on the Cowboys site.
The Pick 48
Good Luck picking. If you enjoyed this game and the Giants somehow make it into the playoffs I would be happy to post some Over/Unders for that game.

Three developers wanting to purchase and develop the old Sears retail site in downtown Lake Charles made their pitch to the Lake Charles City Council Tuesday night.
The three developers who made bids are:
Donnie Jarreau Real Estate
Roger Landry
Gray Stream/Geddings Development Corporation
All three developers presented similar plans of a mixed-used development for the property including residential and retail space.
Jarreau's offer on the property is $957,500. He is proposing a 188 unit apartment complex with 15,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor. According to Jarreau more than 200 parking spaces would be hidden by the exterior of the building.
"With 188 units we assume they will be a majority of 1 to 2 bedrooms. We think it will be the young professional and we think we will pick up some of the students from McNeese," said Jarreau.
Jarreau estimates his development to be around $20,000,000. In terms of a timeline he said it would be somewhere between 9 to 12 months before construction would start with another 12 to 13 months to complete.
The second proposal comes from developer Roger Landry. Landry's proposal includes a four story apartment complex development with 166 units ranging from 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms. The bottom floor facing Ryan Street would offer 22,000 square feet of retail space. He would also offer nearly 300 parking spaces hidden by the exterior of the development that will also include offsite parking if needed. Other ammenities include a 24-hour concierge service, 4,000 square foot gym and private pool on the second floor.
Landry's timeline for the $19,000,000 development includes six months to get the funding in place and about a year to iron out all of the design details. He estimates another 12 months once construction actually starts. However, he said he already has several regional retailers interested including a large restaurant.
"The restaurant is willing to take up 8,000 to 10,000 feet of space so it's a very large restaurant group. I put on there it could be 7 to 10 spaces. Possibly a Starbucks... I also have a bank that is interested - they may just want to put an ATM there," said Landry.
While Jarreau and Landry said they will use FHA financing, the third developer, Gray Stream, said he has the cash to purchase the property for between $400,000 to $500,000.
"We can close on the site immediately as soon as conditions are met. We will fund the project with cash and conventional financing," said Stream.
Unlike the other two developers Stream did not have any artist renderings, but said his idea is for a town home community with a retail component that would likely include a restaurant and possibly office space.
"Of course the town home style opportunity would cut down on the number of units but it would expand the footage size per unit," said Stream.
A committee has been formed to review the proposals in detail and make a recommendation to the council on how to proceed.
"I liked what I saw. I think more residents will only help bring more businesses downtown and help the current businesses," said Councilman Rodney Geyen.
"I'm encouraged by what we saw tonight. This is in line of what we expected. All three plans have their drawbacks. They each had their strong points. Everything from a cash sale to no questions asked here's the money to we need to ask our lenders. So we have to take all of those things into consideration when we make our decision," said Council President Mark Eckard.

Posted Jan 11, 2011 10:17 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
An insanity defense could face some difficult hurdles in the guilt phase of a federal trial for Tucson, Ariz., shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner.
Loughner had apparently planned the killing, prosecution documents allege, and experts say that could pose problems under the federal insanity standard, report the Associated Press and Politics Daily.
According to an FBI affidavit, an envelope found in Loughner's home contained the words, "I planned ahead," "My assassination" and "Giffords." Loughner is accused of targeting U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who remains hospitalized after the shooting spree that killed six others, including U.S. District Judge John Roll.
The federal insanity standard was revised to make it more difficult to win acquittal after John Hinckley used the claim in his trial for shooting Ronald Reagan, according to the Associated Press story. Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz told AP that evidence of premeditation could have been used to support insanity under the old standard, but it's "a very uphill battle" under the new law.
Legal analyst Andrew Cohen sets out the federal insanity standard in an article for Politics Daily: The defendant must show by "clear and convincing evidence" that "at the time of the commission of the acts constituting the offense, the defendant, as a result of a severe mental disease or defect, was unable to appreciate the nature and quality or the wrongfulness of his acts." Under this language, evidence of advance planning could be used to show Loughner knew he was about to commit a wrongful act.
Evidence of mental problems, however, would more likely be "a vital factor" in the sentencing phase of the trial, Cohen writes, where it could be used in mitigation.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Back in the early 1900s, two percent of meals were eaten outside of the home.
The number is closer to 50% nowadays as the number of food options has greatly expanded.
"Our taste buds and our brain chemistry and our biology have been hijacked by the food industry because we're eating all of these processed foods," said Dr. Mark Hyman author of "The Blood Sugar Solution Cookbook."
According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 30% of adults are obese.
Obesity can cause heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain cancers. Dr. Hyman says cooking real foods at home and eliminating factory made foods, processed foods and fast foods from your diet can help reduce and/or eliminate those health issues.
"Just eat real food; fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, chicken, fish, lean animal protein, eggs. These are whole foods that are delicious that are really just food," Dr. Hyman said.
He advocates eating breakfast, lunch, dinner and one snack each day. By following those steps, he says you can balance your blood sugar, eliminate cravings and get out of the food addition cycle.
"Food is the best medicine. If we eat the right medicine we are going to heal. If we eat the wrong medicine, bad drugs, which is processed food we are going to get sick," Dr. Hyman said.

The teen accused of a crime spree in Wahpeton overnight June 6-7 pleaded not guilty to his charges. 19-year-old Shawn Sondrol is facing two charges of endangerment by fire and five charges of unlawful entry stemming from the spree.
Police say Sondrol burned two cars, slashed tires, and broke into several other vehicles across Wahpeton. The state's attorney tells us police are still investigating the attacks, and more charges could be possible.
Sondrol also faces three other unlawful entry charges stemming from some break-ins in April. He is being held on a $50,000 dollars bond.
A vandal left a trail of destruction in Wahpeton late Thursday night. Two car fires were just a couple incidents in a string of related crimes. Police had more than 20 reports as of Friday evening.
Neighbors in the area of one of the car fires were shocked by what they saw. "There was huge flames shooting out of the car and stuff, and I guess, I wasn't sure what was going on," said Wendy Kahler.
Friday morning she saw the remnants and added, "This is crazy. There's like nothing left of it."
"It was scary that stuff like that could happen in the neighborhood," said Kahler.
She was just getting ready for bed when she heard a car's horn. She said, "So I came outside, and I could see the glow of the fire and the black smoke."
The car's owner said he too heard his horn going off. He looked outside and saw flames above the garage, so he got his kids out of the house to safety.
It took firefighters more than an hour to put out the flames, and when they were done with the first, they were called to another. The second one happened a few blocks north and caught part of the garage on fire, but nothing else, besides the car, was damaged.
Unfortunately for police, the calls continued. "I came outside last night, and there was a car on fire," said Brittany Scott. Scott lives just down the block from the first car fire. She noticed she had a flat tire, but thought nothing of it.
Friday morning her roommate said his tire was slashed, so she went to take another look. "This guy scratched my car up, slashed one of my tires and tried to slash my front tire," said Scott.
So far police believe there are more than 20 related cases from the car fires to car vandalisms and break-ins.
They did arrest a 19-year-old man, and they do not believe there is an accomplice. But neighbors are still very upset. "(It) seems useless that somebody, that that's entertainment," said Kahler.
Though Scott said a couple of scratches and slashed tires is the best case scenario for her. She said, "I'm glad my car doesn't look like his because it's pretty much just a pile of coals."
The 19-year-old's name is being withheld until he is formally charged. He is facing five counts of unlawful entry into a motor vehicle and two counts of endangerment by fire. The counts carry five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. He could also face other charges.
The man's bond has been set at $50,000.

The kindly, but bumbling assistant dog catcher likes to avoid trouble, but that's not always easy, thanks to his boss, McLeish. Olaf doesn't always understand what's going on, but he knows right from wrong. The dogs like this guy, but they still never talk in front of him.

A great OT TD pass from Tebow to Thomas gives the Broncos a 29 to 23 win over the Steelers in the AFC playoffs.
Tebow had a great game with 316 yards and 2 TDs. Thomas and Royal had some great TD catches. Thomas had
4 receptions for 204 yards and a TD.
The fumble by McGahee and then the missed interception by Bailey nearly cost the Broncos. Roethlisberger
brought the Steelers back with a nice TD throw to Cotchery.
Then in Tebow time during the OT Tebow hit Thomas for an awesome TD.
The Broncos defense has a nice interception by Carter, and 2 sacks by Ayers. Miller , Bunckley, and Dumervil all
had 1 sack. So the Broncos sacked Roethlisberger 5 times in the playoff win.
Next game is against New England in the second round.

There are big markets, such as GPS. There are really big markets, such as smart grid. And there is machine-to-machine (M2M), which has to be huge, since those other sectors-and scores of others-are subsets of it.
The new year dawns with M2M growing, and growing quickly. "Today, globally, there are 61 million M2M connections," says Steve Hilton, head of Enterprise Research for Analysys Mason. "In 10 years, in 2020, there are going to be around 2 billion."
The difficulty of conceptualizing two billion connections becomes easier via example. Don Wallace, president and CEO of M2M Data Corp., is a vendor to the oil, gas and wastewater industries. The company's M2M sensors measure a million variables on 10,000 "assets," or pieces of equipment in the field. (A single device may support more than one asset. A pump's engine and compressor, for instance, are monitored by different sensors and, thus, are more than one asset.)
Traditionally, Wallace says, the only way to make sure that all the gear is operating correctly was to send somebody to check. This meant that equipment was not being monitored most of the time. It also meant that personnel had to be dispatched to remote locations. M2M does the job better and at radically lower costs.
Not surprisingly, M2M sensors and Ethernet networking increasingly are integral elements of the devices themselves. "In the last five years we have gone from carriers being largely uninterested because it involves a small amount of data [to] huge adoption of the technology," Wallace says. "Five or ten years ago, if somebody spoke about Ethernet in an Allen-Bradley PLC device, people would laugh. Now it is standard."
The main point isn't the specifics of what Wallace is using the technology to accomplish. It's that M2M has integrated itself so deeply into his field that sensors are being built in at the factory. This suggests how rapidly M2M is becoming mainstream.
M2M Data Corp. has a relatively narrow scope. The overall potential of the M2M market comes into focus with the recognition that such communications platforms make the same intuitive sense in scores of other industrial and commercial applications. Factor in the myriad of consumer uses-from e-readers to telehealth and beyond-and the two billion connections Hilton predicts for 2020 makes sense. Indeed, his prediction may begin to sound like an underestimate.
Everyone Agrees: M2M is Growing
Tobias Ryberg, a senior analyst for Swedish research firm Berg Insight, also sees the movement, but measures it a bit differently than Hilton. "We currently see strong growth, particularly in North America, driven by a combination of industrial and consumer applications," he wrote in response to e-mailed questions. "AT&T and T-Mobile currently see their M2M subscriber bases increase by 10 to 20 percent per quarter, while Verizon and Sprint are slower. M2M and connected devices now account for 5 to 10 percent of all cellular connections in the U.S. and several European countries."
There are coalescing forces behind M2M's progress, says Sam Lucero, practice director for M2M Connectivity for ABI Research. He says that carriers are getting on the bandwagon in a more aggressive manner than before when they took an arm's length attitude. Lucero calls their increasingly direct involvement a "real significant inflection point" in the evolution of M2M.
Lucero points to ways in which M2M is becoming mainstream, such as in legal and regulatory moves. An example is markets-he cited the European Union and Brazil-that mandate road safety and embedded theft alarms that rely on M2M technology. In the United States, Lucero sees federal regulations in 2005 and 2007 and the stimulus as key enablers.
Yes, I expect that this year ogrominim M2M continue to progress.Reply

ELWOOD, Ind. —
First came the rain. Then floodwaters.
Now, as water that was waist deep in some areas Friday morning begins to recede, damage assessments and recovery will follow.
A spring storm dumped four to six inches of rain on northern Madison County in less than 36 hours Thursday and Friday, according to the Madison County Emergency Management Agency.
With the ground already saturated from a week of off-and-on storms, normal drainage channels simply failed under the torrential onslaught.
The result was that water settled in a nearly three- square-mile area of downtown Elwood — mostly in the northeast quadrant — forcing authorities to evacuate that area of the city, said Mayor Ron Arnold.
Water was slowly receding Friday evening, but it might be three or four days before life returns to a semblance of normal, Arnold said.
"This is nearly historic proportions for us," he added. "We have not had flooding like this since 1989."
No one was injured during the storm, Arnold said, but one woman stranded in floodwaters had to be rescued from her car.
City officials are just beginning to asses the damage, Arnold said.
Arnold said one police cruiser was flooded in the deluge and is a total loss. In addition, water flooded Callaway Park, its little league and softball fields, and Birch Bayh Senior Center.
He was particularly concerned about the Bayh Center because it was renovated recently at a cost of $50,000. The city was planning to hold a rededication next week, but that will be delayed until officials have are able to get inside the building.
Events began unfolding rapidly early Friday morning.
"We started to see water crossing two roads about 2 a.m.," Arnold said. "Within two hours we knew we had a crisis," Arnold said.
He declared a state of emergency, and police and firefighters started evacuating area residents with boats provided by the Indiana State Police, Town of Pendleton and Indiana Conservation officers.
An emergency shelter was opened at Cornerstone Assembly of God, and a boil water order was issued as a precaution.
Michael Anderson, the pastor of the church, said most area evacuees were able to find shelter with friends and family.
He said the church provided food to about 120 people, including emergency workers throughout the day.
"We had a lot of people come in and talk about the damage and flooded basements," Anderson said.
Arnold said he would seek state and federal assistance for flood damage, and announced that the Elwood Street Department at 1130 South J Street will be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday as a location where city residents can dispose of flood damaged items.

RATINGS: 80 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.5 SEASONAL: Special IBU: 50 EST. CALORIES: 195 ABV: 6.5%
Homefront IPA is an IPA first brewed by Fremont Brewing Company and major league pitcher Chris Ray. It is brewed to benefit Operation Homefront an organization that provides emergency financial and other assistance to the families of our service members and wounded warriors. The beer is a drinkable West Coast IPA. It pours a golden amber with a big white head. It has a big citrusy nose with a slight note of fresh oranges. Malty and sweet up front. Lighter bodied than might be expected. The hop bitter, orange peel and hop flavor seem to all kick in at the finish. Remarkably easy to drink for an IPA with the orange notes more of a secret ingredient than a dominant flavor. Quite thirst quenching making it perfect for enjoying during Memorial Day weekend. Consume this beer fresh as the hop flavor is best enjoyed this way.
This beer was brewed with pale and caramel malts, Chinook and Cascade hops, orange peel and orange zest, and last but not least, 6 maple Louisville sluggers in the bright beer tank.

#Tebowing is long gone. This is the real craze.
They caught him! And he's as stoogey-looking as you'd have imagined. Although I when I first heard this story I actually envisioned the clotheslining thug
It's a sick, demented world we live in. Everyday I turn on this Internet machine I see nothing but brutal murders, stupid people dying for
As a society, we were doing such a good job of letting Tebowing die a natural death. And then Paul Pierce had to go ruin
Oh, Jesus Christ. Just when our collective Facebook feeds stopped being clogged by people Tebowing, a new quarterback-inspired pose is poised to fill the void
I have yet to strike a Tebow pose, plank, or participate in any other viral trend for that matter, with the lone exception
Hey! It's the weekend! Because this might be the last time in a long, long time we can feature "Tebowing," here's Playboy Playmate Jessa Hinton
Are you Tebow'ed the f**k out yet?
Tebowing! It's the hot new craze. All the kids are doing it, including Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch, who sacked Tebow in the flesh
It looks as if the 99% have found another way to "occupy" their time. I suppose this is appropriate since we've been without an idiotic

From Nelson 2 Revelstoke
For one reason or another, half our team decided to post up around Interior BC this winter. From Retallack to Revelstoke, members of our crew have been scoping lines around the interior for the better part of 6 weeks. Right now; Jacob, Tanner, Provo, and Leboe, are still up there sledding, hiking, and filling their segments with footage from their favorite lines. Here's a few photos from their journey:
1- Nelson, BC by night.
2- Mike Hornbeck beginning his four hour tour up Rogers Pass.

The object of Megajacks is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination. The better your hand, the bigger the payout (see the paytable on the machine). You choose how many and which of your cards are to be replaced. You may replace your cards only once.
Progressive jackpot:
A certain percentage of every bet you make goes into the progressive jackpot pool. The current size of the jackpot pool is displayed on the red scrollbar on top of the machine. You win the jackpot, if you get a Royal Flush while playing for Max Bet.
To play the game:
Click Bet One or Bet Max to select the amount you wish to wager. Each click on the Bet One button increases your bet by 25. Pressing Bet Max increases your bet to the maximum amount possible - that is 5 x 25 - and deals the cards automatically. You can also click the appropriate column on the winnings table to specify your bet size.
Click Deal (if you did not press Bet Max).
Choose which cards you wish to keep by pressing the Hold button underneath the card, or by clicking on the card itself.
Click Deal to replace the cards that you did not choose to hold.
The lowest winning combination is a pair of Jacks: a pair of any lower cards (for example, Tens) is not a winning combination; a pair of any higher cards (for example, Queens) is a winning combination.
If you do not obtain a winning combination, the round is over and you can start over. If you do, see the next section.
If you end up with a winning hand, you can accept the win (click Collect), or Double it. Should you choose to Double, the dealer draws a face up card and you are given 4 face-down cards to choose from. If you choose a card that turns out to be lower than the dealer's, you lose your original win. If the cards are equal, it is a tie, and you have the option to collect your original winnings (click Collect) or Double again. If your card is higher, you win double your original win amount. You then have the option to collect your winnings or Double again.
You can also choose to Half Double, which means you only double using half of your winning amount, and deposit the rest into your balance.
You can move the Double window (if enabled in the Options) by dragging it with the mouse. Doubling is a separate game round, and can be viewed as such in the Game History. During doubling the Bet screen displays the amount wagered for doubling. The Win screen displays the win amount for the current round.

It's an Adopt 8 success story - times two. Parents Liz and Trevin are now enjoying double the fun, after adopting a second son.
We first profiled this forever family four years ago and now we catch up with them once again to see how their family has grown in size and love.
"It's just my dream come true to watch them play together, so cute," said Liz.
We first featured seven-year-old Jahson in an Adopt 8 success story with his parents in 2009.
"He's such a good boy and it's been really, really great," continued Liz.
So great that they decided to adopt again, transforming their family of three into a family of four.
"I was just looking for a family because it was kind of hard," Anthony said.
Anthony also said life in foster care was difficult, which makes him appreciate his family that much more. Anthony says his middle school has been a great support too and wanted to give the school this shout out:
"Thank you for being my friend and staying with me, and helping me. Yeah and all the stuff you guys have done, thank you."
It was three years ago, when Anthony quite literally found his forever family, while searching through the files of potential parents.
"My social worker was helping me find a family, and I was looking for a brother with some dogs and a mom and dad and I think it's going well," Anthony added.
And Liz and Trevin say the fit couldn't have been more perfect.
"They're brothers always will be it's great to see them growing up together and having each other," Liz noted.
Anthony loves having a big brother:
"He's fun to play with and at school, he'll remind me of stuff or, or help me."
Jahson is equally thrilled to have a little brother:
"I wanted to have someone to hang out with and always be there. He's a good little brother to have around."
And while these brothers adore their mom, these brothers share a unique connection with their dad who was also adopted.
"He was adopted, and Jahson's adopted and I'm adopted now."
So they formed a special family adoption club.
"We go out and we can do bowling and stuff like that, just the boys."
"I think the bonding is there because a lot of times they go through stuff they think they're alone, but I've been through it, they're going through it, it's good." Trevin said.
But mom Liz may just need some more girl power in this group and they've talked about possibly adding a daughter to their family.
"We've got our hands full now. It's still an option, but we'll see. We might do another show in two to three years." Continued Trevin.
Trevin and Liz continue to be ambassadors for adoption:
"You'll be surprised at the kids out there who need a loving home and if you can help, do it, I highly recommend it," Trevin said.
"It's so rewarding. It's just been a really great thing for our family, it's perfect," added Liz.
If you're interested in adopting or becoming a foster family, call 1-877-I-ADOPT-U during regular business hours.

Predator Drone Attacks
Victor Hansen
New England Law | Boston
February 22, 2012
New England Law Review, Vol. 46, pp. 27-36, 2011
There have been both legal and policy criticisms of drone attacks. Much of the legal criticism has focused on alleged violations of international law and the law of war. These criticisms reflect a desire to place some controls on a State's use of force. While this international law debate is important, practically speaking, criticism alone would be unlikely to dissuade the United States from using drone attacks. Any real check must come domestically either from the judiciary or from Congress. This Essay contends that Congress, not the courts, is the only viable means of placing controls on the President's use of drone attacks in the future.

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office is seeking information about a missing mother and her two children.
If you see or make contact with Garret Bruce, 33, his wife Jennifer Bruce, 28, and their children Dillon Bruce, 7, and Brett Bruce, 5, contact your local law enforcement agency.
Investigators say sometime between 4 p.m. on Jan. 10 and 1:45 p.m on Jan. 12, New Port Richey resident Jennifer Bruce ended all contact with her close friends and family.
While attempting to make contact with her, authorities discovered that Jennifer, her two sons, Brett and Dillon Bruce, and her husband, Garrett Bruce, were nowhere to be found despite their only vehicle being located at the residence.
The family's home at 4201 La Pasida showed no signs of foul play or evidence that the family had gathered their belongings for a planned relocation.
Investigators say Jennifer took her children out of Long Leaf Elementary, on Jan. 10.
Prior to the family's disappearance, Garret Bruce was facing criminal charges in Pinellas County for DUI Manslaughter and Vehicular Homicide. He was out on bond for these charges and was being supervised by the bondsman via an ankle bracelet, which he removed, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities say Garrett Bruce failed to respond to a bond hearing on Jan. 27.

Flip Crêpes got its start on the Chicago Farmers Markets circuit in 2003, slinging its warm and sweet or savory treats to steadily growing flocks of customers. Eventually, the company outgrew its humble beginnings and expanded to a location inside the Ogilvie Transportation Center, where customers stop in for the crowd-pleasing crepes alongside a burgeoning roster of sandwiches and paninis. Four distinct menus address any and all cravings the day might present, including selections that tackle breakfast munchies with eggs and bacon, a passion for the savory with toasted options, salad cravings with fresh and crisp selections, and sweet teeth with desserts chock-full of Nutella, strawberries, and dulce de leche. The tender crepes will only wrap their eggy arms around healthy, high-quality ingredients, so the chefs avoid high-fructose corn syrup and other undesirable foodstuffs.
Pied Piper Parties & Playschool provides enriching play for children of all ages with active classes and themed events. Using her experience working at a Montessori preschool, Stephanie Williams oversees the youth playschool and camp, while colleague chef Janelle Rinehart leads hands-on cooking classes that introduce nutrition and discuss where dinner comes from and why it can never go back. Youth playschool helps children 5 months–3 years gain social skills with four progressive classes filled with music, art projects, and story time. In cooking classes, youths up to 10 years old prepare sweet and savory treats with supervised use of cooking equipment. Two-hour parties celebrate kids with custom themes ranging from dinosaurs to princesses, and include games, cake, and take-home gift bags.
Sometimes finicky eaters can become fascinated by food when they have a hand in making it themselves. The Kids' Table's proprietor Elena Marre discovered this with her own sons when they started helping her prepare meals. Eventually she took this idea and created her own family cooking school geared toward children aged 2–16.
During classes, kids prep produce at tot-sized countertops and sinks. They whisk together ingredients with tools calibrated to their little hands as they learn to appreciate varied flavors and textures apart from "plain" and "unslimey." Parents can get in on the action by working alongside their tots during classes or by signing up to learn how to make baby food, create family meals, or please picky eaters.
I Wish Lessons' professionally guided classes convene in various venues throughout Chicago, Boston, DC, and Detroit, uniting and educating like-minded learners in vibrant social settings. The company's hundreds of teachers have educated countless learners while introducing them to new friends and planning private events, including birthday parties and baby showers. Classes broach a multitude of engaging, lighthearted subjects, such as beer and bacon pairing, scotch tasting, cupcake decorating, and sushi rolling.
The Chef Du Jour provides catering/event planning, cooking classes, and personal chef services. A Le Cordon Bleu graduate, Chef Rita will provide you with mouth-watering food, or teach you the skills to do it yourself through interactive classes.
Before they were moms with six children between them, Simply Homemade owners Cindy and Stephanie were food-industry professionals, studying nutrition and food-product development. Now, they've combined both experiences to create a company that supplies healthy, handcrafted meals to busy families. Working off of a monthly menu of 22 entrees, the duo whips up mouthwatering pastas, burgers, and kebabs chock-full of whole grains, hand-trimmed chicken, and natural beef from Heartland Meats. Then, they either preassemble meals for customers to pick up or set up ingredients for customers to assemble themselves onsite. The latter option, which takes about two hours, makes it easier for customers to tailor dinners to a child's love of mushrooms or a dog's disdain for cilantro.

Find a place for children of polygamy
Amber McKenna
It started with reports of a 16-year-old girl calling a domestic abuse hotline. She said she had been married to and impregnated by a 49-year-old man, who had physically abused her at 15.
The result was hundreds of children of all ages without homes. These children can't find a place in today's society because they were raised in a culture reminiscent of 100 years in the past.
Investigations into these reports led to the April 3 raid of the Yearning for Zion Ranch outside of El Dorado, Texas. The ranch itself was owned and run by a sect of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. At almost 1,700 acres, it was self-sustaining and mostly hidden to inquiring eyes by a rock formation.
According to Associated Press reports, the compound, disguised as a hunting retreat, has multiple dormitory buildings, a temple, sewage plant, medical clinic, food storage and processing facilities, watchtowers and 10-foot-high surrounding walls. It is said to have about 150 buildings.
After the search and seizure in early April, 437 children were removed from the ranch.
These children were subjected to DNA testing and examined for physical signs of abuse. The testing will help untangle the web of alleged incest, abuse, underage marriage and sex.
What is the state of Texas to do with more than 400 children out of a home? The children are being placed all around the state in temporary foster homes, group homes, boys ranches and women's shelters.
Child Protective Services has its hands full. The goal of the temporary placement is to keep the children apart from others in an attempt not to change them.
These children have never been introduced to the world of pop culture. This means no television, no cereal, no manufactured foods, no jeans, no decision making and no talking back.
While some of these children might return to their parents after custody hearings, many will be put into foster homes, or able to choose their fate in the real world.
How will society deal with these children once they find their way into the mainstream?
The children will be bullied in the public school system and outcast among other foster children who have grown up with television and sometimes with drug and alcohol abuse.
The public school system is on another level. Children from the FLDS sect have been home schooled all their lives, and although they may be ahead in some subjects for their ages, other subjects may have been omitted completely. Imagine being 16 and knowing nothing about computers or cell phones.
The children who are about to turn 18 will have the option of choosing where they want to go. But is there a place for them?
They have basic skills and farm experience, but they cannot be expected to understand or even navigate the world of 2008 when they have been living in the 19th century for their entire lives.
The young mothers have it the toughest. These women, at ages 19 and 20, have multiple infants. They have no marketable skills. There is nothing for them without the support of the sect.
What this case needs is to put in place a serious immersion program for those from the polygamist ranch. It would take time and money to be sure, but the 400-something children need to be introduced to the modern world. They need to be taught essential principles and concepts and basic technological skills.
If the children choose to return to their way of life, secluded and out of date, they will know they are living in a place and time they don't understand and doesn't understand them.

July 19, 2011, 7:42 PM — It's scary out there in the cloud. Data thieves, hackers, criminals, they're all out there scouring the Internet around the clock for ways to get into your corporate networks so they can steal data from poorly protected businesses.
So how can your enterprise safely use the cloud and what do you need to know about protecting your data and infrastructure from the bad guys? Is it even possible that your business can safely use cloud computing?
None of these are simple questions, says Ara Trembly, principal of The Tech Consultant, an IT consultancy.
The first thing to do is to take a magnifying glass to your business and be totally honest with yourself as you review your organizational processes, security concerns and the value and importance of your business data, Trembly says.
"For some businesses, it will be inadvisable to use the cloud," Trembly says. "A business that uses data as its lifeblood" won't want to put that data out there where it would be more vulnerable. "Insurance companies are one of those businesses, as well as financial institutions, medical centers and doctor's offices."
The problem is that if these kinds of businesses don't have their critical data in-house where they can work to maximize its protection and minimize the risks, then they can't be certain that the security is as good as it needs to be. "It's so easy for HIPAA violations to occur. Not that they're all being prosecuted right now, but they could be,"
Will it ever be possible that enterprises with super-critical data security requirements like these could ever use the cloud, whether public or private? Or will these kinds of security challenges make that impossible?
"At the moment I would say no," Trembly says. "The problem with the cloud and with any online application is that online security is really pretty bad and I don't expect that to improve significantly. And the reason it is so bad is that information is sellable, so if someone steals it, they can sell it. I think that some people do say that these problems will be solved eventually, but I don't think so."
That's the real challenge for data security, he says, because the criminals can stay ahead of the white hats who are working to prevent the intrusions and hacks that occur on a regular basis. "They go after Social Security numbers and anything that allow someone to pose as someone else. Anything collected in the realm of industrial espionage is sellable."

Legislators moving quickly on GMO labeling billBy Kirk Carapezza
Vermont Public Radio | April 21,2013Before the Vermont House closes the legislative session sometime next month, lawmakers could still vote on a bill that could change the labeling on food sold in Vermont.
Time is short, but a key House committee turned quickly last week to genetically modified organisms, or GMOs as it considered a bill that would require labeling of such products. If passed, though, the measure could present a legal challenge.
Rep. Kate Webb, D-Shelburne, a lead sponsor of the GMO bill, delivered binders full of research to the House Judiciary Committee.
There is increasing evidence that genetically engineered foods are posing health risks; there are risks to people who have religious concerns and there are those of us that also have significant concerns about the loss of bio-diversity in the environment, Webb said.
GMOs, Webb argued, have slipped into the market in the past 15 years without peer-reviewed studies and without rigorous review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
In fact, the FDA does no testing, she said. They simply require a report from the bio-tech industry saying that theyre safe. For most of us, that is simply not enough.
The bill before the committee would require the labeling of foods produced with genetic engineering. It would exempt meat and dairy that has been fed genetically modified grains, and it would also prohibit the use of the term natural on the labels of those foods.
History will prove that we were right, Webb said, defending the bill. I believe that ultimately this labeling will be required.
Vermonters have long prided themselves on having a strong, local food movement for knowing whats in their food and where it comes from.
And Vermont is not alone. Thirty states, including Oregon and Connecticut, are taking up similar GMO bills. But if the bill moves forward in Montpelier, Vermont would lead the way.
That concerns the states dairy industry, which depends on corn from genetically engineered seeds.
Some food manufacturer is going to start preparing for this, said lobbyist Margaret Laggis, who represents the United Dairy Farmers of Vermont.
She said the Legislature should expect a lawsuit if it requires the labeling of genetically engineered or GE foods.
Laggis agreed that Vermonters should know whats in their food, but she said the state shouldnt require labels. And she argued that this measure is fundamentally flawed.
This bill exempts ice cream, so it would allow an ice cream manufacturer to label their product as being GE free, when 100 percent of the cream comes from cows eating 100 percent GE feed, Laggis said.
Both supporters and opponents point to companies around the state who are already changing their means of production: Ben & Jerrys Ice Cream and Lake Champlain Chocolates, for example, have pledged to stop using ingredients produced with genetic engineering in their food.
Still, supporters of GMO labeling say carefully crafted legislation would accelerate that movement.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The contractor working on Vermonts health insurance exchange has issued a report...

The cause of an early morning blaze that damaged an abandoned house on Etra Road remained under investigation Thursday afternoon, a fire official said.
Firefighters arrived on the scene, near Milford Road, around 1:15 a.m. to find flames coming through a second story window, said Fire Chief Barry Rashkin, of . The fire was under control around 2:15 a.m.
There were no injuries and the fire was contained to the one side of the house, Rashkin said.
"Nobody got hurt and we were all able to go home safely," Rashkin said.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the East Windsor Police Department and the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office, Rashkin said. The house has been abandoned for several years.
In addition to East Windsor Volunteer Fire Company #1 and #2, several fire companies from surrounding towns responded, including , , Robinsville Fire Department, Plainsboro Fire Company, Monroe Township Fire Department and Groveville Fire Company, Rashkin said. East Windsor Rescue Squads #1 and #2 provided lighting and rehab at the scene.
