Press ReleaseFrom the Office of State Senator Glenn Hegar, District 18
For Immediate Release March 8, 2011 Contact: Lisa Craven (512) 463-0118
AUSTIN — Today, Sens. Glenn Hegar (R-Katy) and Kirk Watson (D-Austin) filed Senate Bill (S.B.) 1257, a bill that seeks to ensure county support before existing water districts in one county are able to annex land in another county.
S.B. 1257 was filed in an attempt to protect landowners from developments encroaching into a community without first seeking local input and support. This legislation stems from an ongoing issue in Bastrop and Travis Counties, where an entity is exploring the idea of annexing land in Bastrop County for development of the Central Texas Airport project, despite the fact that the entirety of the existing District is located in Travis County and an estimated 12 miles from the proposed annexed property.
"There is absolutely no reason why a district should have the authority to develop land in another county before first working with surrounding landowners and the county to make certain that all of their concerns are addressed," Senator Hegar said.
Hegar and Watson also wrote a letter to the Board of Directors of this particular district to encourage that they work in conjunction with the citizens of both communities to address any concerns they may have before moving forward with the proposal. However, without legislation, they are not required to do so.
"This bill will make sure Texans will have their voices heard and their concerns addressed in a public venue before such a significant annexation occurs," said Senator Watson.
The lawmakers are closely monitoring the particular situation in Bastrop and Travis counties as they move forward with S.B. 1257.
Senator Hegar served two terms in the Texas House of Representatives and now represents Senate District 18 in the Texas Senate. Senate District 18 contains over one-third of the Texas coastline. He is a sixth generation Texan, and earns a living farming on land that has been in his family since the mid 1800's. He currently resides in Katy, Texas with his wife Dara, and their three children, Claire, Julia, and Jonah.

BILLINGS - The change of plea hearing for a Billings woman accused of bank fraud was canceled Monday due to an emergency surgery performed last week.
Angela Corson Smith, 32, was scheduled to plead guilty to two charges of bank fraud and wire fraud.
Smith's attorney, Steven Babcock, filed a motion to continue the hearing on Monday, the day it was scheduled to take place.
U.S. District Court Judge Sam E. Haddon said he received notification of the motion before noon on Monday during his drive from Helena.
Due to short notice, Haddon proceeded with the scheduled hearing.
The judge decided to reschedule the hearing after the situation was explained by Babcock, who said Smith had her appendix removed and an ovarian cyst drained the night of Dec. 11.
She was released from a hospital the following day, Babcock said, and is recovering from home and continues to take pain medications.
Babcock told the judge that because of the medications, Smith is not able to intelligently, knowingly and voluntarily enter a plea. Smith attended the hearing but she did not speak.
Haddon expressed some skepticism and requested a written report from Smith's physician explaining why she was unable to participate in Monday's court hearing. The note also has to list when Smith should be able to participate in a hearing, the judge said.
According to a note from Surgical Associates, P.C. and submitted with court records by Babcock, Smith is able to return to work on Dec. 18.
According to a plea agreement signed last week, Smith will plead guilty to one count of bank fraud and one count of wire fraud.

Cuba Lifts Exit Visa Requirements, Raising Possibility of Exodus to Latin America

Cubans still need visas to be able to travel to other countries, and that depends on their embassies and consulates. Is not like everybody is going to be able to leave the country in three months. Anyway, el ultimo que apague el morro!
Yes, but there is one small detail that is being overlooked: they still need to give you a passport or you can't leave. I'd like to see them let Yohani Sanchez leave the country and be allowed back in. Then, I'll believe there is a real change brewing.
Scarface was about due for a sequel.
It's a smart move by the regime to create a pressure valve of sorts. Now, those opposed can leave. Less pressure on the government while giving the world the appearance of democratic reform.
Love how it says " The likelihood is very very high that many of those Cubans who leave the island will not return" Um, duh, you think?
Great just what we need more cubans taking our jobs
Could be an attempt to get the blockade repealed because it creates a terrible irony. It seems that now the citizens of the brutal, fascist dictatorship can come here, but those of us born in the land of the free, who don't have relatives in Cuba, remain prohibited from going there.
how many more could there be?
Omg!! There goes the neighborhood!!! Se jodió la plusvalía del "Suh de la Florida"!!!
If you think this is really going to be another Mariel, I have some property in Florida I'd like to sell to you...for your Cuban relative that is.
Ahora si se formo!!
How about Montana?
cuba is not a prison anymore? what??
it's about damn time!!!
Why not, still a little bit of space in Jacksonville & Pensacola. Pack up los primos & abuelos en una lancha & go! lol
whoa.. this is BIG news..
@tgonzalez4 Good point, but not overlooked: "Some restrictions on travel outside the island will remain. First, Cubans will need a passport -- which is far from guaranteed in a country of endless bureaucracy and arbitrary detentions."
And: "The Granma article on the changes suggests that some restrictions could remain on Cuban intellectuals, as the government seeks to prevent so-called 'brain drain.'"

ePals has entered into an agreement with SnagFilms aimed at providing access to a range of educational documentaries to members of the ePals Global Community.
The ad-supported videos will be made available on ePals and will include a variety of titles geared toward students in elementary, middle, and high school.

Initial titles include National Geographic's Human Footprint, E-Waste, Wright Brothers' Flying Machine, and Inca Mummies, among others.
"At their best, documentaries do not just entertain us--they engage and inspire us to take action," said Rick Allen, CEO of SnagFilms, in a prepared statement. "For teachers and students, our great library of films shines light on critical topics, deepens lesson plans, and catalyzes family conversations that go well beyond the everyday. Focused on those deeper connections and tied to charities and communities with each film, SnagFilms offers a unique web experience tailor-made for the educational community, and there is no better partner in reaching educators than ePals."
ePals reported that it plans to encourage teachers to share ideas on integrating the videos into course curricula, as well as suggest questions and additional resources to spark classroom discussion.

Is there any difference in the use of "hang" or "hung" depending on the usage of "have" or "has?" I remember in elementary school a teacher mentioning the use of "hung" only with the use of a form of "has" or "have" preceding. It doesn't seem to come up using any search engines leading me to believe the teacher was making it up because she didn't really know the distinction of when to use "hang" or "hung."
I am ooberly mad at this i have always known that there was a difference and what it was. even when i was young. but today in history class we talked about it and my teacher said she was hung. i sais it is suppossed to be hung, the class laughed and every body thought i was sooo dumb. so i was the only one out of 30 students and a teacher that knew thiss that just goes to show you teacherss are completely uneducated and how meaningless those stupid classes are if the teacher doesnt even know what shes talking about.
The song Why Can't the English? (from My Fair Lady) contains the line "…..she should be taken out and hung for the cold blooded murder of the English tongue"; I vaguely remember a televised inteview with Alan Lerner in which he acknowledged that he had elected to use hung knowing that it was not correct because it rhymed with tongue; he had hoped that no one would notice; he then related that the first critic he encountered after opening night of My Fair Lady looked up at him and said only something along the line of "the word is hanged".
Who hangs animals? I don't know, but your question prompted a quick Internet search, which turned up a surprising number of instances. A few of them were cruelty cases, and there was at least one YouTube video of a bull in India. Crazy world.
Whatever the case, language does sometimes help sort out philosophical issues. For hanging purposes, I'd guess most people would naturally place animals closer to humans than plants. Animals can be hanged until they are dead; plants are hung and live despite the noose. But please don't ask me about coral!
Many years ago, we were stduying Billy Budd in my high school English Lit class. After we'd all turned in papers, my teacher said, "I need you all to please remember: Billy Budd was HANGED, he was not HUNG. ….Well, actually, he might have been. Melville didn't say anything about THAT!" and collapsed into her chair in a fit of giggles. I've remembered the difference ever since!
Kelly, you (and others) incorrect.
Merriam Webster: For both transitive and intransitive senses 1b the past and past participle hung, as well as hanged, is standard. Hanged is most appropriate for official executions but hung is also used . Hung is more appropriate for less formal hangings .
More: "Our evidence shows that hung for hanged is certainly not an error. Educated speakers and writers use it commonly and have for many years. . . . " Hanged is, however, more common than hung in writing. It is especially prevalent when an official execution is being described, but it is used in referring to other types of hanging as well. . . .
"The distinction between hanged and hung is not an especially useful one (although a few commentators claim otherwise). It is, however, a simple one and easy to remember. Therein lies its popularity. If you make a point of observing the distinction in your writing you will not thereby become a better writer, but you will spare yourself the annoyance of being corrected for having done something that is not wrong."
(Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage, 1994)
Fair enough, but let's not circumvent the issue here. The fact is that one of the most respected dictionaries explicitly states that hung is, in fact, correct; that it's not an error. So, either Merriam Webster is "wrong," or you're "wrong," if you're really going with this prescriptive approach. Personally, I'd side with Merriam Webster and their usage guide, and I think most readers would.
And it's not that I think your rule is "fruitless," it's more that I don't think this rule has as much basis in the history and traditions of our language as you suggest it does (kind of like how some commentators object to adverbial good, which started to come under attack in the 19th century classroom, even though it dates to at least the 13th century). In fact, I've read that "hanged" was commonly favored by judges in sentencing, and that this is perhaps the main reason it stuck around for formal executions, while hung made inroads everywhere else. Even so though, evidence shows that hung was also commonly used for executions among a critical mass of educated speakers and writers. I'd also suggest that "hung" versus "hanged" is primarily a 20th century grammarian issue, and little more than a revisionist attempt to make a rule for a word with a somewhat amorphous usage history.
Furrthermore, if "hung" for "hanged" is an example of this deterioration you write of, well, then our language was already fast deteriorating among the educated since at least the late 17th century. Let's have a look at some examples though:
"In 1898, the OED noted that writers and speakers in southern England often used hung in this sense." (The more conservative OED recognized "hung" over a hundred years ago).
"…to-day I am laid by the heels, and to-morrow shall be hung by the neck"–George Farquhar, The Constant Couple, 1699 (Note, usage in the 17th century).
"I have not the least objection to a rogue being hung."–W.M. Thackeray, The Newcomes, 1853
"…that if he was hung he would plant flowers on his grave."–James Stephens, The Crock of Gold, 1912
"The negro murderer was to be hung on a Saturday without pomp–William Faulkner, Sanctuary, 1931 (Faulkner, need I say more?)
"….soldiers convicted of appalling crimes are being hung and shot."–Times Literary Supp., 29 Nov. 1941
"…a 13 year-old evangelist, who hung himself because his mother spanked him for sassing her."–Flannery O'Connor, letter
I could go on, which is partially the point, but I think this literary company, which showcases the word's actual usage, combined with what we know of the word's history, is strong enough to rebuke the notion that "hung" is incorrect. At the most, it's a personal preference.
So yeah, I'd say there is enough evidence hung up around us to stay the word from being hung.
"Homies" is also in "Merriam Webster" dictionary. Does that mean it is standard written English? Please try to quote more AUTHORITATIVE references when making your arguements, rather than just referring to one, "Merriam Webster" or letters/books that random Authors have written (who, by the way, I doubt ALWAYS use "standard written English"). Also, just because ONE reference (perhaps credible) says its OK , doesn't necessarily mean it's OK. As noted above, English is an evolving language, and ,as such, there will always be two sides to the coin. In some cases it may be OK and in some cases it may not be (depending on your audience). Because the OED is considered "the" authoritative source, expect that academics will most likely default to it for final judgement.
Additionally, if you are going to quote websites – please cite them. (http://grammar.about.com/od/alightersideofwriting/a/hangedgloss.htm)
Hi Charles,
I don't care for your tone (there's really no need to capitalize AUTHORITATIVE), and I don't buy your argument at all. I think Merriam Webster and its usage guide (which are the two books I quoted from) are authoritative enough. After all, if Merriam Webster's usage guide is not sufficiently authoritative, then what does that leave, just the OED, as the "final word?" I think that's an untenable position and decidedly unscholarly. I know the OED is well-regarded by many, but it's received more than its share of criticism from linguists. You might be interested in checking out a book titled, Empire of Words: The Reign of the OED, by John Willinsky, or in reading some of Oxford linguist Roy Harris' criticism of the OED.
As far as comparing "homies" to the question here; well, that's a ridiculous and almost dishonest way of framing the argument, unless you're really going to argue that "homies" was ever used in formal writing. The fact is that there is strong evidence to suggest that "hung" has been used for executions for hundreds of years, in formal writing (published novels, news articles, ect.), by the most educated and literate, and that it was never considered an error! And once again, the research I've read suggests that the legal sphere favored "hanged," which is why Merriam Webster argues that hanged is more common for formal executions carried out as part of a sentencing, but this is a different distinction than what the author made on this page.
Furthermore, you speak of the evolution of language, which is fine, but you mean it in the sense of adding new words or new connotations (er, "homies"), but the point I'm making is that "hung" for an execution is not new at all. It's standard, and has been standard for hundreds of years, until a few 20th century linguists took a revisionist approach to it.
Of course, you never really refuted any of these arguments to begin with, which was I disheartened by your post. Part of being a good scholar is doing one's own research and making a decision based on the facts in front of him. Yes, it's often a value-based decision, but this is always preferable than blindly deferring to authority ("the" OED). I know that if any of my students use "hung" in a paper, I'm not marking it wrong. On the contrary, they're and they're in some of the finest literary company that ever lived.
P.S. I did not cite from websites, but directly from the books. I guess I could have included the page numbers, but we're talking about dictionaries here: just look up the word
Hmmm… interesting thread. I hope it does not descend into a juvenile flame-war.
Chris – Thank you for your posts. They are reasoned, articulate and informative.
Charles – WHAT would YOU consider as an AUTHORITIVE source? (like the caps?) If M-W and all the quotes and authors that Chris has listed are not acceptable to you, then what is? (other than OED) Would you care to actually list some referrences of your own to support your position? (I look forward to your reply, homey)
Mark. M. – You criticize Chris for saying too much by saying so little? Did you even have a point or are you just passing through? Tourist.
Kelly – …"Or, "proper words in proper places," as Swift would say!"… That's it? That's all you have to say? You are all over this thread, responding to every post as if you were the utmost authority, answering with a strange combination of polite, yet condescending guidance. Yet, when it seems you have met your match (or even have been out-matched) by Chris, you duck and run for cover. Are you not going to respond to his posts?
"I sentence you to be hung by the neck until you cheer up." – Monty Python
Kelly – Yes, I'm aware it's your site. That doesn't automatically make you right.
So, as far as you and Chris are concerned, it's a stand off? You'll just agree to disagree? Your considered and educated opinion vs. his considered and educated opinion? That's fine. The operative word here is *opinion*. What it comes down to is there is no universally accepted concrete rule that 'hanged' is the only acceptable way to describe an execution (specifically, a human being being put to death by hanging from the neck by a rope). If it is your opinion that in that context, 'hanged' is the only acceptable descriptor, and as an educator you would go so far as to mark your students paper 'wrong' (with a red pen, no less) for using the word 'hung' instead, then I would have to respectfully disagree with you. It would be misleading and inappropriate for you to penalize a student for using a word that doesn't suit your *opinion*. A word that another educator in your place could easily find acceptable and let pass as is. Chris has clearly shown how the word 'hanged' has come into usage, and equally demonstrated that 'hung' is just as acceptable for use in the same circumstances. As clear as you have made your point, you have not supported it as a universally accepted *fact*. (your resume notwithstanding)
Here's one. What about forgived? I watched an episode of Little House On the Prairie once and both Mr. Edwards and Laura used this word instead of forgiven. i.e "Am I forgived?" "You're forgived." Is this even a word??? I was always taught that it was "forgiven". I had never even HEARD "forgived" until that episode and it sort of annoyed me a little bit.
I am perplexed by the argument that there is no need for distinction between hanged and hung. I do understand that common usage and mis-usage of words may alter their meanings over time, but some words help clarity and truth.
"I have not the least objection to a rogue being hung."–W.M. Thackeray, The Newcomes, 1853 (Thank you, Chris)
I also would not object to a hung rapist acquitted by a hung jury. Nor would I comment on a temporarily hung jury that ultimately hanged the same hung man.
I find humor in the story of the depressed plastic surgeon who hung himself.

Most antidepressants are thought to stimulate the production of natural healing and protective biochemicals, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3). The ability of antidepressants to heal the brain is not yet fully appreciated. We may find that antidepressants also have a role in repairing brain cells damaged by injury, disease, toxins, and abused drugs, or in helping to slow down the aging process.

June 2012 ACCESS Advantage
Pamper the Planet!
One of the hottest continuing trends in meeting and event planning today is "going green." This includes taking steps to make your event more eco-friendly, and there are several easy and significant ways to do that.
Set goals. You'll be doing this anyway as you plan your itinerary, so simply include green goals and share them with your suppliers, delegates and speakers. Your green checklist can include:
- Reducing your group's amount of waste by recycling (ask your meeting venue to provide visible and accessible recycling containers for paper, metal, plastic and glass) and composting
- Reducing energy and food consumption (decide how much lighting and food & beverage quantities you really need. Turn off equipment between sessions)
- Minimizing harmful transportation emissions by offering group transportation or carpooling and planning the shortest routes for the most people.
Go paperless. Use new media and electronic technology to cut down your paper use. Create a conference web site. Offer electronic registration and confirmation. Advertise using the internet and/or email. Use iPads for manifests and other organizational tasks, as well as teambuilding activities.
Bulk up. Ask your food and beverage service providers to use bulk dispensers for sugar, salt, pepper, cream and other condiments. Ask them to minimize packaging or make it recyclable (no Styrofoam).
Sleep lightly. Choose a hotel that offers a linen reuse program, encourage towel reuse and environmentally friendly amenities in guest suites.
Watch what you eat. Provide local, seasonal produce as well as vegetarian meals and ask food vendors to donate extra un-served food to local charities.
Print smart. Have all printed materials published on both sides of the page and on recycled paper using vegetable-based inks.
ACCESS Destination Services is proud to incorporate these and other earth-friendly ideas in our meeting and event services. To discuss other "green" meeting practices, or to plan your next green meeting, contact us today!
Palm Springs - Travel Alert
People often think larger groups are harder to manage when it comes to transportation. After all, keeping up with 500+ people can be a challenge. Under what circumstances is organizing and keeping track of 130 people more challenging than a large group? When they've all been rerouted last minute from an international trip and are flying into Southern California into five different airports all at different times. That's the challenge ACCESS Palm Springs faced when a prominent hydraulics company called to alert them that the company's incentive trip to an island in the Caribbean had just been moved to Palm Springs.
"It was Wednesday morning," recalls Barb Smith, Partner, ACCESS Palm Springs, "and the meeting planner told me the meeting was scheduled to start Friday! That meant the company could either abandon its plans to recognize its partners with a the following year or try to relocate the entire event...in 48 hours!"
The company chose to relocate its incentive to Palm Springs, confident that ACCESS would deliver.
Though she was surprised by the request, Barb never doubted she could bring together an event that would exceed the company's and guests' expectations. But getting everyone there on time was another matter. "Our client rebooked the flights of 130 participants," she explained. Though that's not a lot of people, last minute arrangements meant travelers couldn't all be flown into the same airport on the same day." Eight attendees were rerouted to the airport in Los Angeles; 27 to Orange County; 12 to San Diego; 14 to Ontario and the rest to Palm Springs - five different airports and 38 different flights.
The ACCESS Palm Springs team worked with other ACCESS partner offices to meet everyone at their respective airports and shuttle them to Palm Springs for a spectacular event. They didn't lose a single traveler!
The client was impressed with ACCESS' quick thinking and professionalism: "I think we broke the sound barrier with the speed in which this program was pulled together," said the client in a follow-up letter. "The ACCESS team stepped up to the plate in admirable style! You're all rock stars!"

Fillmore Street: Named one of America's Best Shopping Streets Located between Japantown and Pacific Heights, Fillmore Street has been named one of America's best shopping streets by US News. Here's what they had to say: "Counterbalancing New York as a coastal heavyweight, San Francisco (with some assistance from Los Angeles) establishes West Coast culture. However, shopping in San Fran is surprisingly decentralized: While the Union Square area hosts the most recognizable stores, Fillmore Street is the best place to catch the up-and-coming trends." Let ACCESSNorthern California's knowledgeable fashion experts show your group around one of the most unique shopping spaces in the entire city.
The Mecca for Michelin Rated Restaurants: San Francisco and the Wine Country While three-star restaurants The French Laundry and Meadowood retain the highest distinction in the MICHELIN Guide San Francisco, Bay Area & Wine Country 2012, the most notable newcomers include three new two-star restaurants; Benu, Saison and Baume. In addition, 39 restaurants earned a single star with some new entries in that category including Michael Mina and Sons and Daughters. ACCESS Northern California can arrange for your group to visit these and many other fine restaurants during your stay.
America's Cup in 2013: San Francisco's Waterfront at its Finest The nine-series America's Cup Race is scheduled for September 7-22, 2013, but a number of pre-cup racing challenges are scheduled to begin in July. The famous waters of the San Francisco Bay will be buzzing with excitement, and there will be no better time to experience San Francisco by water!

"Kick the Can" Ice CreamWith summertime almost here, ACCESS Palm Springs shares one of their favorite (and fun, interactive) recipes perfect for picnics or for camping trips with the family. For each flavor, you will need (1) one-gallon and (1) one-quart paint can (from your local home improvement store).
- 1 Bag Rock Salt
- Crushed Ice
In the Quart can mix the following ingredients:
- 3/4 cup Whole milk (no substitutes)
- 1 cup Cream
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
- Flavoring of your choice (Hint- whole ingredients are best such as berries, cookies, etc. Go as light on any liquid flavoring ingredients as possible.)
Once all ingredients are in the quart can, secure the lid and place the quart can inside the gallon can. Pack the gallon can with layers of crushed ice and 3/4 cup rock salt. Secure the lid on the gallon can and let the kids (or the "big kids") kick the can around outside for 15 minutes...make sure they don't overdo it as the lid can come loose and you will lose all the ingredients. The key is to simply keep the ingredients in motion for 15 minutes.

First Trojan using Sony DRM spotted
November 10th, 2005 by noam, Filed under: Commentary, Privacy
As reported by the register, the first Trojan that exploit the previously discussed Sony rootkit has been spotted in the wild.
This comes shortly after a turbulent week for Sony, as they were hit with two lawsuits one from an EFF-like group in Italy and a class-action from the state of California. Both lawsuits claim that they infringe on customer's privacy without informing them of this possibility during the playing / listening to their music CDs.
I am sure we will see more about this, my guess that even though Sony was the first to get a lot of press on their use of rootkits to protect their IP, I am sure other cases will now come to light, as people will start looking for the patterns of rootkit behavior in other products.

Mother McAuley High School students Madalynn Wantuck, Mary Joan Evans, Margaret O'Brien, Leah Roethle and AnaMaria Esparza from Nina Lesch's Spanish class traveled to Park Guell in Barcelona during spring break. | Photo courtesy of Nina Lesch
Updated: June 27, 2013 6:02AM
Mother McAuley High School Spanish teacher Nina Lesch and seniors Mary Joan Evans and Leah Roethle, and juniors AnaMaria Esparza, Margaret O'Brien and Madalynn Wantuck traveled to Spain during spring break.
In 10 days, the group visited Madrid, Toledo, Segovia, Burgus, Bilbao, Pamplona, San Sebastián and Barcelona, as well as Saint Jean de Luz, a town near the border in France.
The trip was open to all upper-level honors and advanced placement Spanish classes at McAuley.
The sites visited ranged from big cities to quaint towns, many of which the girls studied in Spanish as juniors.
On Good Friday, the girls watched a nighttime procession in Madrid, which was part of their celebrations for Semana Santa, or Holy Week. They spent Easter Sunday at Mass in San Nicolás, the oldest church in Madrid.
Some other highlights of their trip included watching pilgrims walking along the trail of Santiago de Compostela (or the Way of Saint James), which leads to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, where it is said the remains of the apostle Saint James are buried; following the path used during the annual and well-known running of the bulls in Pamplona; and visiting the Holy Family Church, or Sagrada Família, in Barcelona, which has been under construction since 1882 and is scheduled to be completed more than 10 years from now.

NeSmith, Green lead Rolex TOC after 2 rounds
Boys scores

Matthew NeSmith separated himself from the field, shooting a second-round, 3-under 67 to take a one-shot lead at the Rolex Tournament of Champions Wednesday at the Capital City Club in Alpharetta, Ga.

Legislature faces contempt of court if not enough progress on education fundingon April 16, 2014 @ 6:17 am (Updated: 7:30 am - 4/16/14 )
Remember the dread you had when the teacher told you to go to the principal's office, to explain why you didn't do what you were supposed to?
That's the situation facing the legislature as it prepares to tell the State Supreme Court why it failed to make any real significant progress on funding education last session.
The court has given lawmakers until April 30 to come up with a plan to find more than a billion more dollars to fund basic education.
There is no plan, but lawmakers are going to tell the court they're making progress, and they're hoping that will be enough to satisfy the justices.
Legislative leaders met this week to decide the best way to explain to the court what they've been up to.
Republican Senator Bruce Dammeier says lawmakers have passed some legislation that should please the court, but there hasn't been enough movement on how to find the billion dollars in the budget.
"The challenge of really passing the legislation, of coming to grips with what the legislature really needs to do, and how we need to do it, and going forward and this is an area where there are some pretty significant philosophical differences," says Dammeier.
He says Republicans want to fund education first and then talk taxes for other government programs and says Democrats simply want to raise taxes.
He explains, "So there is a big philosophical difference there: One is whether you use kids as the excuse to raise taxes or whether you fund them as a matter of priority and then wrestle with whether increased taxes are necessary for other parts of government."
Democratic Senator Christine Rolfes says this argument is simply an excuse to do nothing.
"The Republican mantra is 'No new taxes.' So they have a very clear platform that some of them are going to have to back down on in order for us to get something done."
Rolfes says differences aside, lawmakers agree on one thing, "The biggest sticking point really is nobody likes the price tag of McCleary. It's a very difficult conversation to have and the price tag is so high that the only way to reach it is with taxes and reducing government spending on other programs that people care about and raising taxes somehow. And both of those are really, really hard conversations to have."
Despite the lack of progress, Rolfes believes they can find common ground and satisfy the court.
"I think there are places where we can agree and agree to work forward on things," she says.
The big question now is what will the Washington State Supreme Court do at the end of the month when it gets a letter saying, "We're trying our best to do something" when it was expecting a plan of action.
The court has threatened lawmakers with contempt of court if they fail to come up with a plan.
Chris loves the rush of covering breaking news and works hard to try to make sense of it all while telling stories about real people in extraordinary circumstances.

Free ice skating lessons were held Saturday for young children at Rochester's Manhattan Square Park ice rink.
The group lessons were led by staff members from the Go Figure Skating School, which is certified by the United States Figure Skating Association.
The City's Department of Recreation and Youth services held the lessons to get kids outdoors and active during the winter. "Ice skating is a wonderful sport, not only for the children but as well for the family," said Mary Monell, owner of Go Figure Skating School. "Especially in the wintertime, it gets kids up, it gets kids out, and it gets kids active."
The free lessons are held each Saturday through February 16th. They're for children ages 4 through 12.
There are about 50 openings for for each event taken on a first-come, first-served basis.

I think she deleted her website.should we be happy? cus i am.
Crona has written 4 entries about this goal
? Hakura you have hurt my freinds for the last time jewel is really smart smarter than you even.Stop bragging about your Money no one gives a shit. Starlit can't talk to Mino becuse shes not real.give it bitch its one agianst a bunch.
Ok hakura you are going below low why did you kick Maggie out of the "family" what did she do to you? now we know it wasn't for peoples own good its becuse you want it to happend becuse they are agianst you next thing we know your going to be the only person in the family ruling your "kingdom" (ps what maggie wrote is in the comments) (psps hakura you could have wrote in the fourms why you kicked her out)
So these are my thought on why we got kicked out of the family. yesterday i was talking with Hakura and the first think she said to me is can i get rid of Luna and i told her no and she started getting reasons why she wanted to get rid of Luna but Isn't it a coinceidense that luna was one of the very people that "Mino got rid of becuse it was best for them"I think not Luna was tiered of hakura always talking about her self so she just ignored hakura.After that accourd Hakura told me that she was sick of us not helping with things back home, but how can we help if we don't know whats going on back home?Any ways then we got in an agruement like we always do and thats why i got kicked out instead of trying to work things out with me she got me kicked out of the family I'm not mad anymore becuse as Maggie said the family is doing things that the family of the sea is doing now i don't know about you guys but thats a little weird to me just saying.Now Maybelle I think she got kicked out becuse she said that Hakura's baby was ew now that my seem like a minor problem but hakura took it over board when Maybelle relised she was killed she yelled at hakura till hakura deleted her off the site then she relised she didn't want to be yelled at anymore so she just deleted the rest of the peole "Mino had killed" off the site.For Rayna and Jacob I'm not sure why you guys got killed but i know you didn't deserve it.As for Oceana Hakura said you couldn't be queen becuse she was jelous of you and she knew if she didn't get Mino and Breona to chose the queens everyone would have said you and the same reason goes for why she had you killed she was jelous of you if she was really your friend she would have been happy for you.As for Scarlett thanks you for standing up for me I'm sorry it caused your spot in the family.Well thats why hakura had you guys killed please note the spots where it says "mino had killed" really means Hakura.Anyways i never really felt like Starlette and now i realse its becuse shes not real don't you guys see shes copying what the family of the sea is doing,and she only used Vienna to show off to them,and the people she deleted from the family she begain to hate us becuse we new the truth about the family and she wanted us to feel like she felt when resbell was killed.So hakura you only left the family so you couldn't be there when they don't go home so they can't yell at you like we did.and hakura I'm mad at you and dissapointed.[Also a really greatfull thanks to Ebony becuse shes ganna help us get back on our feet:)] Also notice Vivana was made by a hacker she wasn't there when the family first started like you said she was just look at Maggie's entrie proof shes not real.on to the next topic TRUE SELVES she made that up so no one would try to go home and end up discovering the family was fake.Well thats all i have to say right now bye.

Cooler temps here in the US can only mean it's time for fall and winter fiber projects!
A few things of note to put on your reminder list. November 1st, the popular Heroines Shawl Club subscription slots will open. Lots of fun themes, colorways and yarns. New this year, I will also have a Yarn Club. Subscribers will get a mix of some of my most popular yarn bases, as well as some new ones you might not be as familiar with. A combination of fingering weight, and a few DK and worsted weight yarns will whisk their way to your mailbox every month. Subscribers may pick from handpaint/multicolored options or a kettle-dyed/mostly solid colorway. If you'd like more details before the club slots go live, please see the discussion in my Ravelry Group Forum. Or, if you'd like to make sure you don't miss the go-live date, please use the "Contact Me" button in the upper task bar to send me a note and I'll get you on the mailing list for announcements.
I have one final show for the 2014 season, and that's Kid N Ewe in Boerne, Texas. If you are in the greater San Antonio area, please stop by November 7, 8 or 9th, and visit the booth. (It's a great time to stock up on supplies for holiday projects, or maybe pick up a skein of yarn or some roving for a fiber-loving friend.) Hope to see you there!
