Before I say anything I am updating my bio to say that my Abigail is the greatest daughter in the world! (When I first wrote this bio Abbey had just been born and, or course, was unable to read of write. Now she is extremely talkative and highly opinionated and last night she demanded to know why she had no mention in the bio)
I was born and raised in New York where I worked for various newspapers in the NYC metro area. I relocated to Georgia in 2003 to work for the Athens Banner-Herald, where I continue to report on criminal justice issues, including law enforcement, crime, and the criminal and civil courts at the state, county and federal levels.
I'm also constantly on the lookout for human interest stories, especially those of crime victims and their survivors, the impact crime has had on their lives and their search for justice.
Other areas of great interest to me are domestic violence, particularly when the victims are children and women who feel trapped in abusive relationships.
Among my priorities is educating the public through reporting about sexual assault on women and children and child abuse/neglect.

Authorities late Monday afternoon made a fourth arrest in connection with an armed home invasion last month at an Athens student housing complex.
Nicholas Fred Nasuti, 19, of Lakeside Drive, was booked into the Clarke County Jail on charges of first-degree home invasion, two counts of armed robbery, four counts of aggravated assault and two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Nasuti allegedly was the driver in the Sept. 1 home invasion at Riverbend Club apartments, police said.
Authorities recently arrested the sixth and final alleged gang member they said participated in a home invasion in north Athens four months ago.
Deqavious Keenan Dunn, 22, allegedly provided the assault-type rifle used during the June 4 incident on Buckingham Terrace, according to an indictment filed Sept. 30 in Clarke County Superior Court.
A judge subsequently signed a bench warrant and Dunn was booked into the Clarke County Jail Saturday night.
Athens-Clarke County police Monday identified two suspects in a weekend shooting in east Athens that left a car filled with women riddled with bullets.
None of the four women in the car were injured during the shooting at about 11:40 p.m. Saturday.
Police identified the shooting suspects as Nitgel Rajiv "Wog" Williams, 20, and Tair Kuran "Insane" Lawson, 19. They are asking the public's help in locating them.
Authorities believe a 26-year-old murder victim found last week in east Athens inside a burned car may have been killed in Greene County.
Though police won't reveal why they believe Darla Gibbons was killed there, that is the county where her longtime boyfriend lived.
Rodricus Deuntae Ward, who authorities consider a possible suspect in the Cedar Shoals High School graduate's death, remains in custody in Greene County following his arrest on a firearms charge on Friday, two days after Gibbons' body was found in a quarry.
A Clarke County grand jury last week indicted four men for a home invasion last month at an Athens student housing complex in which they allegedly sought drugs and money.
The alleged armed robbery happened Sept. 21 at Riverbend Club apartments
The intruders entered the home occupied by two residents and another man, saying that they were looking for "weed" and money, according to police. One of them was armed with a handgun.
Athens-Clarke County Assistant Police Chief Carter Greene was tapped on Friday to become his department's interim chief.
Greene will fill in for Jack Lumpkin, who is retiring from the department after serving 17 years as chief.
Greene has served the Athens-Clarke County community for more than 30 years and has supervisory experience in both operation and support functions of the police department.
Authorities took into custody on Friday a man believed to be connected to the murder of a 23-year-old woman whose burned body was found this week in an east Athens quarry.
Rodricus Deuntae Ward, a former boyfriend of the victim, was arrested after authorities questioned him about the death of old Darla Gibbons, said Mike Ayers, special agent in charge of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Athens regional office.
A Clarke County Superior Court jury on Thursday convicted an Athens man who last year barricaded himself in his home on Saxon Woods Drive during a standoff with police that began after he strangled and threatened to kill a woman with whom he lived.
James King Ives, 44, pointed a gun at police officers who responded to the domestic dispute and threatened to shoot them.
The Barrow County Sheriff's Office recently was awarded a major traffic enforcement grant from the Governor's Office of Highway Safety.
It received the $25,000 grant in recognition of it being the coordinating agency of GOHS's Piedmont Area Traffic Enforcement Network.
There are 16 traffic enforcement networks across the state that help enforce Georgia's year-round safety belt, speed and impaired driving campaigns.
If you or someone you care about is in an abusive relationship, there are ways to break away and stop the cycle of domestic violence.
n Acknowledge the existence of abuse. Don't wait to be physically injured before considering you might be a victim of domestic abuse. Yelling, name-calling, intimidation and threats are all forms of abuse. If you are forced to have sex without your consent, it is abuse and sexual assault.

We had the pleasure to run another Volcom WITP skateboard contest in Innsbruck in the new WUB skatehall. We wanted to run a WITP at this skate paradise since it opened its doors past December.
After a Friday night late session, we arrived the next morning just in time for starting the registration. The first kids were already training their lines and were really stoked to see the WUB hall in its new Volcom dress. More and more participants showed up. They arrived from all over Austria and showed the WITP crew how much skate talent Austria has. Luckily the WUB hall has all kinds of obstacles to please every skateboarder.
At 1.pm we started the contest with the 14 and Under category. Kids went wild like our slogan announced it during the two qualifying heats. It's always good to see that so many kids prefer rocking on a skateboard than sitting behind the computer.
After the kids we saw the category 15and Over. Believe me, it was bangers after bangers! As usual we divided the park in 3 sections! In every section we saw massive tricks, which not only stoked the audience but the judges as well who had to keep their attention up to judge every landed tricks. A highlight was a massive frontside alley oop fs grab from out of this planet. But to make yourself an idea, just watch the clip.
After this we honestly saw pro skateboarding on a local contest. It was time for the open division to shred the course. The spectators had their mouths wide open, because every rider tried to give their best. We saw massive moves at the stair set, big jumps on the ramps in section 3, we saw technical highlights at the curb line, just to name a few. My personal favorite trick was a perfect mutant cab 3 from Ante down the stair set. I even can't describe how extraterrestrial it was! BIG ups!
Once again we witnessed another unforgettable contest, which was confirmed from the WUB crew as well. Cause they approved us their compliment mentioning that the final from the Open Divison was the sickest final ever seen in the WUB hall.
BIG THX to the WUB crew, the WITP crew (Holger Mertn, Alex, Pfeffer, Simpert Hafenmeier, Heiko Jäger, Bene Schlosser, Lars Oesterle, Mark Lorch) and all those who made this event as glories at it was. Many thanks goes to our partners from the industry as well: VANS, BURN energy drinks and go-shred.com.
Stay on board and see you next year!!!

The writers of this blog are not music critics, and they don't consider a second (or third, fourth or fifth) mortgage to be a perfectly reasonable course of action to pay for front-row tickets, but despite being a whole lot more middle aged than they were when they first put \x34Born in the U.S.A.\x34 or \x34The River\x34 down on the turntable, still feels like Bruce has something -- OK, a lot of things -- to say about our country and the way we live our lives, things that not a lot of other artists are saying. And whether he's talking about the knife that can cut this pain from your heart, the house that's waiting for you to walk in or what that flag flying over the courthouse means, he's nailing down feelings that are so universal that they can raise your spirits and break your heart at the same time. Plus, let�s face it, the man rocks.

It�s safe to say that those of us turned off by the repetitive sheen of most top 40 pop have welcomed the acoustic revolution spearheaded by the likes of Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers. On the other hand, anyone reared on rock �n� roll can�t help but find himself longing, at least a little bit, for a world beyond the banjos and mandolins. Doesn�t anybody own an amp anymore?
With that as the backdrop, Kingsley Flood�s new LP, �Battles,� arrives with a wild, welcome kick. The Boston group�s 2010 LP �Dust Windows� had more of a traditional Americana feel, but last year�s EP �Colder Still� started to incorporate indie rock elements into their rustic sound.
With �Battles,� they�ve made the full leap into guitar-based rock while holding on to their down-home authenticity. That�s a trick for any band, particularly a young one, and it�s hard to overstate exactly how well Kingsley Flood does it here.
A good portion of the credit has to go to George Hall�s stellar guitar work, which is accomplished without being showy � it jangles through tracks like the Mersey-tinged �Sun�s Gonna Let Me Shine,� while on the driving �Down,� his psychedelic bursts complement Chris Barrett�s trumpet blasts to pull the song squarely into the stratosphere. As for the sort-of title track �Pick Your Battles,� Hall�s hopped-up blues riffs combine with Naseem Khuri�s roiling garage-rock keyboards to searing effect.
But none of this would be half as effective if the songs weren�t actually about something. Kingsley Flood�s secret weapon is Khuri�s pitch-perfect lyrics, which pack an incredible breadth of imagery and emotion into their spare stanzas, delivered in a quirky, urgent rasp that anchors them solidly in the here and now. The songs on �Battles� speak to a modern American dream that�s constantly in danger of being pulled under by forces beyond our control, from inside and out.
In fact, Khuri�s lyrics actually owe a lot to Springsteen, with their references to inner struggles and sullen fathers, not to mention dirty hands and bills unpaid. In that vein, �Waiting On The River To Rise� is a perfectly realized painting of a man struggling to keep afloat despite God�s apparent indifference: �Scratch tickets on my shelf, stains on my knees, pennies in my well,� he sings. �I got faith in faith, because the other choice is no choice at all.�
On other tracks, he grapples with the lure of voices that tell him to �get low� � �I�ll hold up high my chin and welcome sin on in,� he sings on �Sun�s Gonna Let Me Shine,� and among the jaunty piano, strings and horns on �King�s Men,� he seems to accept the inevitability of a great fall: �Look in the broken mirror; it�s only a matter of time.�
Broken mirrors, bent knees and chins raised in the face of inescapable adversity pop up frequently on �Battles,� with some of the most effective imagery coming during the disc�s quieter moments: On �Sigh A While,� Khuri sings of �our eyes on the horizon, but a lollipop stuck to the floor,� his quietly desperate vocals perfectly counter-pointed by Jenee Morgan�s sweetly realized harmonies.
Such ambitious songwriting is always in danger of sliding into the obtuse, and it happens on occasion here. �The sleepwalker never falls down, the wax wing never hits the ground,� Khuri sings cryptically on �Habit,� one of the album�s few meandering tracks.
But for the most part, �Battles� has just the right combination of uncompromising lyrical heft and explosive musicality, and stands to position Kingsley Flood as the ideal rock act for the new millennium: a little kinder than some, perhaps, but by no means gentler.

Aly Raisman: America's New Sweetheart [VIDEO]
As the US Gymnastics team wins gold, Raisman rises to instant stardom
By: Ashley Baylen
US Olympic gymnast, 18-year old Aly Raisman, wowed international audiences on Sunday during the qualifying round for the women's all-around finals when she beat out teammate, Jordyn Wieber, for one of the two US spots.
But that win was just the beginning. Over the last two days, Raisman and her team won the Olympic gold for Women's Gymnastics, her parents have become Internet sensations, the Burlington gym that she trains at has seen countless parents signing their children up for gymnastic lessons, and media frenzy has begun interviewing everyone that has ever met the girl in her short lifetime.
It was Raisman's winning floor routine that stole the show on Tuesday, but her supportive parents (Ricky and Lynn) are the ones accumulating YouTube hits. During Aly's routine on the uneven bars, Raisman's parents were caught by NBC nervously, and dramatically, shifting in their seats. Numerous websites have gone as far as tracking the number of times the couple say "Come on", "Let's go", "Catch it", and "Stick it" during the short clip. Various reporters and fans worldwide have mocked Ricky Raisman's loud sign of relief at the end of the routine.
The crowds at Raisman's gym in Burlington are plentiful.
"Everyone wants to be like Aly," said Rashawn Harrison, one of the gym's coaches. "And that's a good thing, because she's well-mannered, respectful, hard-working. Kids should want to be like her."
Her hometown of Needham has strewn countless banners, posters, and decorations throughout in celebration… but it's not just her friends, family, and neighbors that are cheering for Raisman. The entire world is now a supporter and fan.
This is just the beginning for Raisman. I, along with millions of others, am cheering for her in the women's individuals… and expect to see her on your child's cereal box and teen magazine shortly afterwards.

Dwindling shark population causing mayhem in food chain
Marine biologist is studying predator's state in Arabian Gulf
Dubai: The sight of hundreds of bloodied dead sharks, waiting to be sold at fish markets across the UAE does not bode well for the ocean's super-predator.
Sharks play an important role in the ocean's food chain and their decline is already being felt in commercial fisheries worldwide.
While fisheries statistics around the world indicate that 80 per cent of the existing global shark reserves have already been fished out, no research has been carried out on the Arabian Gulf's shark population.
However a new study on sharks in the Gulf has just been launched in collaboration with fishermen and the UAE University in Al Ain.
Ecosystem collapse
"The state of sharks in the Arabian Gulf is a blank," said Rima Jabado, marine biologist and a doctoral degree candidate at UAE University. "Attention should be given to sharks — they're the apex predator and their demise could lead to the collapse of the marine ecosystem."
In Australia, it's been reported that low numbers of sharks have led to an increase in the number of octopuses, who without the predators to keep them at bay, devour the entire lobster population.
And with fewer sharks along the US Atlantic Coast, cownose rays have increased so much that they've wiped out bay scallops by feeding on them.
This summer, Spain's Ministry of the Environment said the decline of natural marine predators was likely the cause of jellyfish blooms that led to the closure of several beaches along the Costa Blanca.
Rima's research will monitor the shark population in the UAE to find out which species are here and exactly where they've come from. The project is part of her doctoral study on shark fishing in the UAE which focuses on species diversity, distribution and abundance, as well as feeding ecology and the fin trade.
Her three-year research has already begun. She has so far interviewed 126 fishermen from landing sites all over the UAE.
"The majority of the fishermen would want to protect sharks and believe in the protection of fish for a sustainable fishery," said Rima. "But if sharks are caught in a fisherman's net, should they be thrown back? Perhaps they should be brought in? [This subject] causes them to debate. Some complain that sharks just make holes in their nets."
Data from the Food and Agriculture Organisation showed that between 1985 and 2000, shark landings in the UAE were relatively stable with between 1,300 and 1,950 tonnes per year.
A decade ago, the UAE was already considered one of the main exporters of shark fins to Hong Kong with 400 to 500 tonnes per year being sent to East Asia to meet demand for shark fin soup, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

Dominic Monaghan reflects on his trip to Namibia on the search for a deadly scorpion.
BBC America: What challenges did you face searching for the black, hairy thick-tailed scorpion?
Dominic Monaghan: Getting close to the most aggressive and venomous scorpion on earth was taxing. They will not hesitate to become aggressive of they feel threatened.
What was the most exciting part or biggest surprise on your trip to Namibia?
The heat. The Namib desert is one of the hottest places on earth. Every day it felt as though the sun was pressing me down into the ground.
How did you prepare yourself for the extreme climates?
In every single episode for the first season of "Wild Things," I travel to very, very hot humid places. I make sure that I drink as much water as I can handle. Thirst is a very poor indicator of dehydration, so you HAVE to drink, even when you aren't thirsty. Living in LA has helped me adapt to hot temperatures. I wear sun block, sunglasses, and a hat at all times – apart from when I'm filming. Seek shade. DRINK WATER!
'Wild' Director of Photography, Frank Vilaca, talks desert grit and torrential downpours.
BBC America: What difficulties did you face filming in Namibia?
Frank Vilaca: The greatest challenge filming in Namibia was the desert sand. In fact, one of the cameras packed it in due to the fine grit that got into everything. The back up plan for that was our back up camera – in all our travels on "Wild Things," production built in redundancies in the event of equipment failure. The desert sand was probably the hardest on the equipment in the series.
What was the most memorable moment from your trip?
My most memorable moment in Namibia was getting caught in a torrential downpour at the Brandenburg plateau. The desert road turned into a quagmire – we were a foot deep in mud. Dom put the Land Cruiser into 4-wheel low and kept on moving in an amazing lightning storm. The road was a complete washout, but Dom kept it together. Of all the locations, Namibia was my favorite – stunning landscapes, starry nights and Wolfgang was the best fixer ever. For those who don't know, a fixer is a person who arranges your stay in a country, takes care of permits and tries to make your days go smoothly as possible.

My first brush with celebrity: Flipper...sort of

Because your little girl simply will not stop singing "Let it Go" and "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" you are seized with the faint and entirely unreasonable hope that taking her to see this sing-along version will somehow sate her appetite. She will join with the movie for an ecstatic instant, and then sink blissfully into silence. But you are wrong. This? This is gasoline on a fire. 2014.

Soybean board awards fellowship; backing charcoal rot research

CANTON and STARKVILLE — With classes back in session at Mississippi State University (MSU), the Mississippi Soybean Promotion Board (MSPB) is investing in possible solutions to a major soybean disease as well as the education of a student who could be bringing production solutions to Mississippi soybean farmers long into the future.
MSPB recently awarded the Blaine Doctoral Fellowship to Tessie Wilkerson, a Ph.D. candidate at MSU, who plans to study the incidence of charcoal rot in soybeans and possible solutions to the disease.
Charcoal rot is a soil-borne fungal disease that favors hot and dry conditions, like those often found during summers in Mississippi. Because the disease can cause detrimental economic losses for soybean farmers in the state, Wilkerson hopes her research will shed some light on the disease and how farmers can minimize those losses. She plans to test how the addition of nutrients to the soil may prevent or lessen the damage caused by the disease.
Although she spent the last several years working with plant diseases in a different role, Wilkerson says she has always harbored a long-term goal of receiving her Ph.D. "I always knew that if I went back to school, it would be to study plant diseases," Wilkerson said.
MSPB named the fellowship in honor of Alan Blaine, Ph.D., a former state soybean specialist with the MSU Extension Service, to recognize his many years of service to the state's soybean farmers.

Bad at Sports (Good at Spelling): Why Don't I Care about the Olympics?
It's true that I once went to two football matches and enjoyed them. And I have been to two cricket matches, which I also enjoyed. Furthermore, I once memorised the rules of rugby for an afternoon, because my partner was white-knuckled over the final of the 2003 Rugby World Cup.
However, I think it's probably true to say that the above paragraph describes the entirety of my interest in sport.
I think this is a shame. If I enjoyed sports more I might play one of them, which would be good for me, and I'd have more in common with some of my friends. And I might regard the Olympics with something more than boredom and despair. (The despair, to be honest, isn't about the sporting aspect but about the prospect of a summer filled with travel chaos, security everywhere, and disturbing reports about the treatment of workers.)
So why don't I like sports? I'm not the only person I know for whom the very mention of the word induces glassy-eyed ennui. And when I think about the reasons for it, my answer comes down to this:
My school wasn't any worse about this than any other. It's just something about the nature of how school sports works, as opposed to how academic classes, work. The trouble is that if you're bad at sports - and I was - it's really, really obvious. There you are: coming last in every race, being picked last for every team, being ordered to try to throw a javelin that is actually taller than you are and then falling over. (The latter was a particularly humiliating moment in my humiliating school sports career.) It's no fun.
I'll never forget the face of the girl who was assigned to play squash with me. It's a game I find deeply scary. You get shut in a room and someone repeatedly tries to hit you with a small, very hard ball, and apparently you're not allowed to hide in a corner till it's all over. It's a nightmare in an extremely literal sense. My squash partner, unfortunately, was very good at the game, and I would like to apologise to her for having been made to play with me. I would also like to apologise to anyone who played volleyball in my vicinity, since I never actually understood the rules of it. There was a large ball and a net and again, you weren't allowed to run away from the ball, and sometimes people shouted at you. That's all I got.
I liked table tennis. It will be apparent from my last paragraph that when it comes to balls, I'm a physical coward, and table tennis balls are reassuringly light and unlikely to cause damage. Badminton was also borderline acceptable. Hockey, on the other hand... I can't even think about hockey without shuddering. The sticks! The noise! The noise of the sticks as they hit bits of me!
So there I was. I got excellent marks in English, Maths, History and so on, but academic success at school is an ambiguous thing. It's not going to win you friends. It's not something you're supposed to be pleased about or tell people about. I feel embarrassed I even mentioned it. Forget I said anything.
It's not that I wanted to be awarded medals on a daily basis. (I would have been too shy to accept them anyway.) But it seemed unfair and it still does, that sporting failure is so public. That teenagers who are bad at running and hitting balls should have to feel that it's a mark of personal failure, when teenagers who were bad at, say, chemistry could just shrug it off. And rightly or wrongly, it really did put me off sports. As a short, plump, physically awkward girl with spectacles who couldn't return a serve if you stood opposite her placing the ball directly into her racket, I associated physical activity with embarrassment and unpopularity. And still do.
Of course, lots of people who didn't like sports at school grew up to enjoy them - Stephen Fry has written about this, for example. Nevertheless, I wish there was some way to make school sports less about who wins and who loses, and more about a collaborative joy in activity. And while we're at it, why aren't squash balls, you know... squashy?

Kanengamah is an abstract quality and a manner of behaving fundamental to social life on Pohnpei, in Micronesia's Eastern Caroline Islands. It entails the habit of concealment; most social interactions are conditioned by the expectation that all parties are engaged in dissembling. Kanengamah enables Pohnpeians simultaneously to exalt their leaders and to remain remarkably free from their authority. As a consequence, "hierarchical" and "egalitarian" social forms are interdependent rather than mutually exclusive categories.

Volunteers help put disabled on fast track to competition
Qualifying for the New York City Marathon is a challenge for any athlete, let alone one with spina bifida, a malformation of the spine.
But Bethel Park resident Ashli Molinero, who was born with spina bifida and uses crutches, found out late last week that she had qualified to race in New York in November. Molinero, 42, uses a handcycle, a bike powered by a hand crank rather than foot pedals.
She qualified for the New York City Marathon with times from two Pittsburgh marathons, which she completed on an upright recreational handcycle. But she's training for her next marathons on a sleek bike designed for racing.
"The bike I have now only has seven gears; the one I ordered has 27 gears," she said. "It's a huge transition in technology. I don't know how proficient I'll be."
Molinero is less inclined to talk about her participation in marathons than about handcycling, becoming an evangelist for the sport, said Monica Michna, organizer of the local chapter of Achilles International, which helps people with disabilities compete in athletics and sponsors them in races.
Molinero joined the group to register for her first Pittsburgh Marathon.
"In 2012, I was having a noticeable decline in my mobility," said Molinero, an assistant professor of rehabilitation science at the University of Pittsburgh's facilities in Bakery Square. "To give myself a goal, I entered the Pittsburgh Marathon. ... I had a really good time, considering the bike I had wasn't a racing bike."
Molinero finished last year's Pittsburgh Marathon in 2 hours, 50 minutes, finishing seventh of eight handcyclists in the full marathon. For this year's marathon, she trained harder but lost time, finishing ninth out of 11 in 3 hours, 3 minutes.
She was the only woman to finish the full marathon on a hand bike either year.
"The Pittsburgh Marathon is extremely challenging — to put up some of the times that she's put up, on the equipment she has, and qualify for New York is really something," said Brad Ramage, 45, of Evans City, a fellow handcyclist.
In addition to working out at the gym, doing yoga and taking spin classes, Molinero said, she cycles several times a week with Achilles volunteers on the Eliza Furnace Trail.
"I do it because I want to maintain my health, to be the best that I can be," she said. "Hopefully other girls will start doing it, too."
On the morning of Sept. 7, she and others from Achilles, the Harmarville Outreach Programs and Education Network and Three Rivers Adaptive Sports are putting on a handcycling clinic for anyone with a physical disability. The location has not been determined.
Achilles International's parent organization and the insurer Cigna recently donated two handcycles to the Pittsburgh chapter, and the group is organizing fundraisers and outreach to get more.
"The handcycles can be really expensive. ... They are really personalized by what the rider's disability is and what their range of motion is," Michna said. The two that were donated are for general use by club members who don't have their own yet and can be adjusted to fit each user, she said.
Bryan McCormick, who is working with Molinero to organize the September clinic, said grants are available for handcycling through organizations such as the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation or the Challenged Athletes Foundation.
"It's a really good sport for people to get into at different ability levels, and there are a lot of grants people can apply for to help," said McCormick, 30, of Munhall.
Working out helps people with disabilities avoid medical complications such as muscle atrophy, said Dan McCoy, 19, a Fox Chapel High School graduate, second-year student at the University of Pittsburgh and sled-hockey player bound for the Paralympics in Sochi, Russia.
"Handcycling is a great way to stay active and stay in shape," McCoy said.

Letter: Uncommonly clumsy
R. Kingman Webster, Naples
Uncommonly clumsy
Common Core standards call for the federal government to manage kindergarten through 12 education in all public schools.
Why is it that the public appears sanguine about this abrupt change? Are we dissatisfied with the effort being made by our Florida Department of Education and local school boards? Does the federal government have a sterling record managing programs?
Let's take a look at how the federal government does in other areas:
Social Security: Spending more than it is receiving, and will run out of IOUs in a few years.
U.S. Postal Service: Loses money every year.
Amtrak: Loses money every year and provides lousy service.
Medicare: Loses money and offers dire warnings about its future.
Student loans: Can't seem to get any policy right. Took over privately run system, resulting in student loan defaults at taxpayer expense.
Ethanol: Uses more energy to produce than it provides and increases everyday food costs.
Does the federal government do anything well? Why do we think that a bigger government is better?
Our Constitution does not give the federal government authority to manage education. Why does this expansion of the federal government in our lives not seem to bother us?
I have already commented on what I find wrong about Common Core standards.
Does anyone care?

Council Watch
Here Comes the Dessert Cart
Amanda Hügenkiss
At the Feb. 21 meeting, Councilor Don Harris sponsored an extended moratorium on construction in Tijeras Arroyo and a bill authorizing a study of whether the speed humps in his district actually work. Both bills passed unanimously.
Councilors deferred three bills of general interest--repealing extension of the 1/4-cent transportation tax, setting a moratorium on cell phone towers that are not "concealed" and requiring 18 months notice before mobile home park owners can evict law-abiding residents.

Comments about 'High school girls basketball: Bingham comes from behind to beat rival Riverton'

South Jordan, UT
What a great game! These are two very good, young teams and it could have gone either way, but I am glad it went Binghams way. I look forward to the next time they play each other. Both number 10s for both teams were incredible. I think that the number 10 for Riverton that went down in the 4th quarter after getting hit going for a loose ball was a game changer for Riverton. Riverton needed her in the game. Does anyone know if she is alright and will be able to play soon? It was a fun game to watch.

Bulgarian Left-Wingers Bash Govt for Rewording Referendum Question
The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) has strongly criticized the ruling centrist-right GERB for its attempt to reword the question for the referendum on the fate of the Belene nuclear power plant project.
On Wednesday, GERB proposed to rephrase the question for the BSP-backed referendum, dropping the Belene project from it.
"BSP's question involves a concrete project and we every reason to believe that it is unconstitutional," key GERB MP Iskra Fidosova noted.
However, BSP lawmaker Petar Dimitrov has pointed out that the people, who are the sovereign power, "have already voiced their opinion on the issue."
Dimitrov believes that the signatures of 770 000 under his party's referendum petition "do not matter" for the ruling party.
The GERB government scrapped the Belene NPP project in March 2012, declaring it economically unfeasible.
The pro-Belene, opposition Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, then launched a petition for a referendum on the fate of the Russian-Bulgarian project.
The inspection of the petition yielded 543 639 valid signatures, enough to make the vote irreversible.
The question of the petition was: "Should atomic energy be developed in Bulgaria through the construction of a Nuclear Plant on the Belene site?"
GERB's version of the question reads: "Should Bulgaria develop nuclear energy by building a new nuclear power plant?"

- » South Stream 'No Longer A Priority' for Italy

"I was amazed with the large variety of choices available for Christmas cards--it was challenging but fun to make my decision. I appreciated how I could import my photo right away and easily I could see how it would look on my many favorite options. The hardest part of designing and ordering was waiting for the order to arrive--I COULDN'T WAIT! Yet my order arrived promptly and I am absolutely thrilled! The image is sharp, the paper of high quality, and the overall design perfect! I can't wait to start sending the cards out for Christmas. I was so pleased with my order that I recently ordered some stationery!"
"I love the look and feel of the paper. It's a little thinner than I had hoped for, but it's still great quality. I ended up doing a collage in photoshop that I inserted in the right and I regret adding white bars separating the images. Not a reflection of the product, just my lack of attention to detail."
"My tiny prints look amazing!!!!! Once I rece them in person they are even better!!! The material they are made out of is just awesome!"
"I'm very happy with this design for our holiday cards. It worked perfectly for the photo we wanted to use. The only thing I would change is that the script text (the last line of the signature) could be more clear as it gets a little lost on the black background."
"The cards were incredible. We used a B&W Christmas photo and the golden parts really stand out.Best Christmas cards we've ever purchased."

text: Allison: Raikkonen is slower than Fernando at the moment 5 June, 2014 Kimi Raikkonen is simply driving slower than his Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso this season, according to the Maranello team's Technical Director James Allison, amid reports that the 2007 world champion is finding the F14T is not suited to his style. The new rivalry between Raikkonen and Spaniard Alonso was billed as a likely highlight of 2014, but the Finn has been soundly beaten so far. And ahead of Canada, where Raikkonen – the oldest driver on the grid – will mark his 200th career grand prix, Allison denied that bad luck or a specific technical explanation is at the root of the 34-year-old's current issues. "I'm not sure it's entirely fair to say he is struggling more than Fernando," the Briton is quoted by the Telegraph. Allison said every driver in Formula 1 is grappling with similar problems aboard this year's high-torque, low grip cars. "That means they are quite a handful to drive, not too breezy for anyone, be that at the front or back of the grid," he said. "The problems Kimi has with the car under braking, downshifting, are the same as Fernando, and pretty much the same as being experienced by other drivers at other teams. "He's just going a little slower than Fernando at the moment, but that gap is closing as the year progresses," added Allison.
