The recent rains mean more water, and that's a good thing in the middle of a drought.
But despite the mostly gentle rains that fell several days late last week, there's some bad news and good news. Worst news first.
Forget trails. Wet fields mean Little League practices that were to kick off this week have been delayed for much of Orange County. Dry weather Monday may mean a quick end, so check telephone mudlines and websites for more information.
Determined parents were in batting cages on Saturday with their wee ones. Watching even-more-determined kids knock back sopping-wet balls was inspiring. Still, for the kids' sake, let's hope fields open soon.
Surprisingly, the trail report is mixed with some trails open and others closed. After trying and failing to run between raindrops, I expected all trails to be closed.
Here's the trail report with some tips:
Because of a pesky little thing called work, I didn't make it out for a rain run until Saturday. By then, I figured I'd run between storm fronts and timed my outing using online radar and hourly reports.
Then I grabbed a camera and headed out. That lasted 15 minutes.
With rain falling, and wanting to avoid telling our photo editors I'd destroyed yet another camera, I zoomed home and grabbed a couple of trusty plastic bags.
The first trail I hit was a steep downhill – without rocks or plants for grip. Call it a slip-and-slide.
Then I faced a shallow stream crossing.
Tips: Knobby-soles on shoes help – but only a little. Trekking poles make all the difference while hiking or running wet trails. They catch you from falling on hills, help you balance on wet rocks and make stream crossings safer by serving as a depth gauge and offering balance.
When I started my run Saturday, temperatures were in the mid-60s. Then a cold front moved in, along with fog. The numbers dropped into the mid-50s.

|Lee Ann Tripepi - August Employee of the Month
Lee Ann Tripepi is the August 2012 Employee of the Month. Lee Ann works at All Children's Outpatient Care, East Lake as an Occupational Therapist and has been with All Children's since 1997. Lee Ann was recognized for her Service Excellence by a patient's mother who said:
Lee Ann has been an amazing support to our son and our family. My son is 3 1/2 years old and has been diagnosed with a rare chromosome disorder - in fact, his geneticist could not find any other cases like it. I am a stay-at-home mom and take care of him full time. I wanted to start him in swim lessons at the Long Center in Clearwater (ACH leases swimming pool space to do Aquatic Therapy for our patients) because he loves the water and it is a great motivator for him. I took him for an evaluation and was recommended Aquatic Therapy rather then traditional swim lessons due to his disability.
I had never thought to try Aquatic Therapy, but I was very interested in getting him started with this therapy. I called that same day and set up an appointment to have him evaluated. I was told that Lee Ann would do his initial evaluation at All Children's Outpatient Care, East Lake. When I took my son to East Lake, I was very impressed with the facility and with Lee Ann's knowledge and compassion. She was so good with him. When I found out she would be able to see him both at the center and in pool I was thrilled. Lee Ann has taught me so much about how to help my son deal with his extensive sensory integration problems. At every session, she provides me with suggestions and techniques that I can do at home with him. We are so pleased to have seen so much improvement since we started taking him to see Lee Ann. Our family and friends have noticed a difference in him too! Lee Ann is always willing to problem solve with me and help come up with creative solutions to whatever issues we are having.
My son has a lot of difficulty eating and he does not chew well. Lee Ann has helped me understand that he needs to be introduced to a lot of foods with strong flavors. She explained that due to his low tone he was not getting enough input and to our excitement he has responded so well to the new flavorful foods Lee Ann recommended and his eating has been improving. My son had a bad habit of kicking his highchair, Lee Ann was able to help come up with a solution that would help keep him safe and prevent him from hurting himself while he is in his highchair. Lee Ann's unique ability to think outside of the box has been a wonderful asset for him. My son has started using a compression suit and compression hand braces thanks to Lee Ann. This has made a huge difference for him and I am so happy to see him start to know where his body is in space! The compression hand braces have also really helped him use his hands more and he is even attending to cause and effect toys for longer periods of time.
We have found Lee Ann to be a wonderful resource. She has gone above and beyond for my son. She has even offered to talk to his doctors and pre-school teachers. Lee Ann scheduled a conference call with his doctor to discuss treatment plans for him and to make sure they were on the same page. The doctor told me how impressed she was with her call to Lee Ann. Also, my son's teachers at his preschool didn't know what type of chair would work best for him and Lee Ann offered to set up a time to talk with his teachers to figure out how best to accommodate him in the classroom.
In the pool, Lee Ann has endless patience and is always so encouraging. He loves his time every week in the pool with Lee Ann. We are so thankful to have such a caring and knowledgeable therapist working with our son.
Lee Ann, thank you for your wonderful Service Excellence and all you do for our patients and their families. Congratulations for receiving the All Children's Hospital Employee of the Month honors!

The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas.

As in a traditional garden, sunny locations are great for tomatoes and most herbs. Locations for container flowers and small shrubs will vary by plant species. Be sure to use a high quality pot, and make sure it drains properly to prevent roots from becoming water-logged. Keep drain holes open by placing small stones in the container bottom before filling it with soil. Fertilize with Milorganite organic nitrogen fertilizer. The no-salt formula keeps troublesome salts from building up in your pots.
Most herbs are considered to be "lite-feeders", they do not require much fertilizer, but a shot or two during the growing season will do them a world of good. Milorganite's slow release, salt free formula is ideal for herb gardening whether you choose to grow them in a garden or in a container.
Apply every six to eight weeks. For best performance gently work Milorganite one inch into the soil. Water plants as needed.

Kentucky State Police troopers and Cumberland City Police Department officers found themselves involved in a standoff situation on Monday afternoon where gunfire was exchanged resulting in the alleged shooter being wounded.
According to a press release from KSP Public Affairs Officer Shane Jacobs, Post 10 troopers responded to the assistance of the Cumberland City Police Department on Old College Road to a shots fired complaint.
Jacobs said upon troopers' arrival, Jason W. Edmond, 42, of Cumberland, had barricaded himself inside of his residence after firing several shots into several neighboring homes.
"Mr. Edmond exited his home and came out into the front yard and began screaming and threatening officers," Jacobs said. "Mr. Edmond raised his weapon in the troopers' direction when two troopers shot him."
Edmond was transported from the scene by LifeCare Ambulance Service to the lower level area of Southeast Community and Technical College's campus where he was airlifted to a trauma center.
Jacobs said Edmond was flown to Holston Valley Medical Center, Kingsport, Tenn., for treatment. He is listed in critical condition.
KSP acting post commander Lt. Jason Adams said the investigation is being conducted by Lt. Ryan Catron and other Post 10 personnel. Lieutenants from Pikevile and Hazard posts are also assisting in the investigation.
It is unclear at this time as to what triggered the incident.
The incident occurred near the former Cumberland High School and not far from Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College. The campus was placed on lock-down during the incident. An alert telephone call went out to many Harlan County residents to inform them the college had been placed on lock-down.
Jacobs said no troopers or officers were injured during the incident.

Sandra and I usually do not do New Year's resolutions. Most of the time, resolutions become either extended lies – or painful reminders of failure.
However, given the frequency that we seem to get ourselves in trouble with the parents of our grandchildren, we have decided to make public this year's sole resolution:
During 2013, we will strive to avoid teaching our grandchildren words, phrases, and behaviors that come back to haunt us.
Our first experience with this problem came when Jaxen was just a wee one. Mama Lydia had stepped to the bathroom at a Bojangles, so Sandra took the opportunity to entertain Jaxen with one of her not-so-magic tricks.
She tore a straw paper into dozens of little pieces and then dropped them on the table from about 18 to 20 inches, thereby producing the illusion of snow. She never even uttered a magic word.
She quickly gathered the infant shards for another try. About the time she had raised them to the appropriate height and began dropping them so they could float through the air, Lydia returned and caught her.
"Mama, don't teach him that. I'll be picking up tiny pieces of straw paper on every trip to Bojangles," Lydia complained. Considering the number of Bo Times she and Jaxen experienced, I could see her point. I envisioned a blizzard of tiny straw paper-lets.
Sandra has been castigated on all fronts for showing the kids how to take a straw paper off so it crumples. Then, by adding a single drop of liquid, the paper magically becomes a living, worm-like creature. I supposed seven of our 11 grandkids have made the infamous straw-paper worms.
"Mama, the kids are dripping water all over the place trying to make their worms come to life."
I do not have time to discuss her lessons in the malleable properties of metal spoons other than to note that whenever she goes to Mama Sara's, Sandra still gets the bent spoon that never returned to its original shape.
Alex spent a few sick days with me. He seemed to have the poops quite a bit, so I jokingly knighted him "Little Prince Poopy-Head." Little did I know he would go to daycare a couple of days later and bestow that accolade on one of his daycare buddies.
"Thanks a lot, Poppy," Mama Jimmi chided across the phone line. "You got my son in trouble at daycare today." The fact I was nowhere near daycare did not matter. I suffered from guilt by verbal association.
Abby visited with us, so I made her one of my favorite quick snacks – the peanut butter fold-over. A peanut butter fold-over is one slice of bread covered with peanut butter (on one side), and then folded in half. I made Abby a peanut butter and jelly fold-over.
Within days I was fielding a complaint from Mama Rachel.
"What did you do?" the complaint began – never a good sign.
"Nothing," I protested even before the charge was laid on me.
"You made Abby a fold-over, didn't you? (awkward pause) Didn't you?" I felt like I was being interrogated by Matlock.
"Yes. Yes, I did it," I caved. "I made her a peanut butter and jelly fold-over."
"Well, I made her a PB and J tonight and she refused to eat. She wanted me to make it the way Papa does."
First, Jaxen's pancakes. Now, Abby's PB and J fold-overs.
Can't I do anything right?
As 2013 prepares to ring in, Sandra and I are going to do our best to avoid teaching behaviors to our grandkids that make parents disgruntled.
Since we seem out of touch with things that annoy today's parents and day caregivers, I am not hopeful.
But we will try.

Recently, the residence was completely renovated without altering its features and maintaining the fascination of its past history. Rooms are large, have high painted ceilings, frescoed walls and are elegantly decorated. All rooms have "en suite" bathrooms, fitted in marble. The whole residence is air-conditioned.
Furthermore, thanks to the fact that, Duomo square has recently become a pedestrian-only area, our clients' wellness and comfort have improved. Indeed, we are now surrounded by absolute silence and unpolluted air.
The Palazzo was originally built by the Naldini's, an important family of Florentine merchants and bankers. It, remained in the Naldini family until 1891, when the last descendant, Cristina, married Marchese Eugenio Niccolini di Camugliano and brought into this family as part of her dowry.
The present owners, Filippo and Ginevra Niccolini di Camugliano, personally supervised the renovation works and oversee the residence in all details, in order to ensure that guests be offered a top quality treatment, comparable to that of a luxury hotel.
A brief history
During the building of Florence's Cathedral (1300-1400), most of the houses in the area of the the Piazza del Duomo were demolished with the exception of those at the north-eastern corner of the newly created square. Some of the latter were located where Palazzo Niccolini al Duomo was subsequently erected. These buildings hosted the workshops of some of the most celebrated Florentine artists. Among them, was the famous sculptor Donatello, who is commemorated by a bust and an inscription on the facade of the Palazzo looking on the Cathedral.
The Palazzo was originally built by the Naldini's, an important family of Florentine merchants, bankers and valorous soldiers.
In 1532, Giovanni Naldini, started purchasing the houses in this area and began transforming these into what became the Palazzo. Over the following centuries, the mansion acquired its present aspect. In the 17th century, the architect Pierfrancesco Silvani was commisioned to build the monumental staircase, the great windows and the gateway, presently accessible from Via dei Servi, nr. 2.
Between 1725 and 1732, Ottaviano Naldini (1684-1755) employed the architect Pier Paolo Giovannozzi, who gave the Palazzo the layout it retains today. In the years 1763-1770, Domenico Andrea Naldini embellished the Palazzo's interiors by having many rooms in the first and second floor decorated with frescoes that are still perfectly preserved. The painters involved were among the best known artists of the time: Gaspero Nannucci, Niccolò Pintucci, Tommaso Gherardini and Gennaro Landi. The frescoes' subjects are typical of the 18th century taste: allegories, landscapes, architectures, ruins, flowers and animals.
In 1879 the last of the Naldini, Cristina, married Marchese Eugenio Niccolini di Camugliano (1853-1939) and, as part of her dowry, brought the Palazzo into this old Florentine patrician family that has lived in it since then.

Resources for Understanding the Common Core State Standards
Resources by Topic:
- The Debate
- Getting Started
- Implementation
- Lesson Planning
- Assessment
- Research
- More Edutopia Resources
Feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of dense, conflicting information out there about the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)? You're not alone. Connecting with other educators is often a great way to uncover useful CCSS information, tools, and resources. Consider sharing your voice in online communities: on Twitter (#CCSS or #CommonCore), on Pinterest (Edutopia's Common Core pinboard is one place to start), or in Edutopia's community discussion about the Common Core. If you'd like even more help making sense of the initiative, here's Edutopia's guide to other organizations that offer valuable resources.
The Debate
Debate and controversy continue over the CCSS and associated changes to assessments. Some supporters argue a common set of rigorous national standards will transform American education, prepare students for college and careers, and allow our nation to maintain international competitiveness. Some opponents assert the standards represent a flawed, untested, "one-size-fits-all" approach -- an overreach into matters best left up to local control. Lawmakers in several states have introduced bills revisiting the decision to adopt the CCSS in the first place. Unfortunately, many people have been left out of the debate entirely. An August PDK/Gallup poll demonstrated most Americans don't know about the Common Core and those who do, don't understand it.
With rumors about the CCSS swirling, it can be difficult to sort out fact from fiction. This article from Common Sense Media includes links to some resources for understanding supporting and opposing arguments. Smithsonian's "What to Make of the Debate Over Common Core," by Stephen Sawchuk, is another good read. Several CCSS endorsers have put effort into debunking myths; "ASCD Policy Points: Common Core State Standards, Myths and Facts" is one of those efforts. For more updates from around the nation as events take place, take a look at ASCD's Core Connection Newsletter and Education Week's ongoing Common Standards coverage. Finally, The Hechinger Report's in-depth coverage of CCSS implementation progress in seven states is a good source of stories "from the trenches" and more detailed information about CCSS intricacies and controversies.
Getting Started
Common Core State Standards Initiative
First, go straight to the source. The Common Core State Standards Initiative website is comprehensive and well-organized. You can download PDFs of the English Language Arts Standards and the Mathematics Standards, see an interactive map of which states have adopted the standards, read a list of myths about the standards, and check out a FAQ that addresses many questions about them. You can also sign up to get a bi-weekly newsletter with Common Core updates from the Council of Chief State School Officers.
Videos on the Common Core
The Teaching Channel offers more than 150 useful videos about Common Core implementation, from broad overviews to lesson ideas for specific standards. They've also developed additional videos and resources, including demonstrations of Common Core-aligned lessons, in partnership with leading non-profits and teachers unions focused on implementing the Common Core. And if you're looking for short, accessible videos to explain the Common Core Standards to parents or colleagues, check out Hunt Institute's YouTube channel. There you will find more than 30 videos, from brief animated overviews, to details on the standards' specifics, to Spanish translations. "Shaping rigorous, world-class education standards" is one of the Hunt Institute's key initiatives, so it has done great work making the Common Core understandable. The institute even wrote a Video Vignette User Guide (PDF), which helps break down the content of the videos.
ASCD's Common Core Resources
ASCD received a $3 million grant from the Gates Foundation to support implementation of Common Core State Standards over a three-year period, and it has become an endorsing partner in the initiative. ASCD has developed a Common Core resource page with a wealth of information, and created a website called EduCore: Tools for Teaching the Common Core. The organization has a twice-monthly, topic-based newsletter, Core Connection (mentioned above), that you can subscribe to by filling out a brief survey. And there's a hashtag to follow on Twitter at #ASCDcore.
Common Core Toolkit from the Partnership for 21st Century Skills
Among all the great resources offered by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21), you can find the Common Core Toolkit, a 48-page guide as a free PDF download or in hard copy for a nominal fee. This resource helps map the CCSS to P21's comprehensive Framework for 21st Century Skills. It includes lesson vignettes to show what such alignment looks like in action, resources and links for states and districts working to put the standards into place, and information about assessment.
Achieving the Common Core
As an independent, non-profit education-reform organization, Achieve has a mission of supporting standards-based education reform, and it offers both content and policy resources. The best place to start is the Achieving the Common Core page, where you will find a PowerPoint presentation, fact sheets, side-by-side comparisons of the CCSS and other respected benchmarks, videos, and lesson plans. The "On the Road to Implementation" guide is useful and well-organized, and Achieve has also developed a Toolkit for Evaluating the Alignment of Instructional and Assessment Materials.
Lesson Planning
Share My Lesson Common Core Information Center
Ready to start thinking about classroom implementation? Share My Lesson is a fantastic free platform where teachers can exchange lesson plans and ideas, developed by the American Federation of Teachers and TES Connect. Their Common Core State Standards information center is a hub for lesson plans and advice. The Share My Lesson team did the legwork of digging through more than 250,000 user-uploaded and -rated resources on the site to find the most relevant ones for teaching with the Common Core Standards -- check out the K - 8 Math Index and the 6 - 12 English Language Arts Index for lessons mapped to specific standards. They also host a Common Core Forum so you can join the discussion.
LearnZillion Common Core Lesson Plans
Another place to look for high-quality teacher-produced lesson plans that align to the CCSS is LearnZillion, a learning platform that combines video lessons, assessments, and progress reporting. In addition to sortable Math and ELA video lessons, they offer a handy Common Core navigator. This organization has a great backstory -- started by a public school in Washington D.C. as a home-grown repository for screencast lessons made by their teachers, they caught the attention of edtech funders and ended up with seed money to take their idea to a national level. Watch a video or read a blog and hear a podcast from Marketplace about LearnZillion.
Khan Academy Practice Problems
Looking for resources to support math instruction? Khan Academy has created thousands of CCSS-aligned math problems, problems created and reviewed by math educators. Check out the Common Core map on their website to browse skills and related math exercises by grade and relevant standard. Adaptive software helps to identify gaps and show progress on each student's learning dashboard, and real-time tracking data is available to teachers.
BetterLesson Common Core Lesson Plans
The National Education Association (NEA) and BetterLesson have launched a new website, CC.BetterLesson, featuring over 3,000 CCSS-aligned lessons for math and English Language Arts & Literacy. Developed by over 130 current, experienced teachers for every grade level, the featured lessons include the teachers' reflections and insights, student work examples, and an array of other supporting materials. Each Master Teacher involved in the project will continue to share their lessons throughout the year; by fall 2015, the site will feature over 16,000 lessons.
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC)
As one of the two state-led collaboratives developing new assessments that align with the Common Core Standards, PARCC received an $186 million Race to the Top grant. You will find a solid implementation page on its website with guides, webinars, workbooks, and more resources for the transition period. PARCC is a consortium of 24 states, and its assessments will be ready for states to administer for the 2014-15 school year.
The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium
The other group that received a comparable sum in federal funding to create next-generation K-12 assessments is the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. Since we first published this article, Smarter Balanced launched a permanent website with a much heartier resource page, with various articles and links, and information about Race to the Top. Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium consists of twenty-two governing and five advisory states, and it's on a time line that's similar to PARCC's.
Educational Testing Service's Center for K-12 Assessment and Performance Management
Educational Testing Service (ETS) is now working with Smarter Balanced and PARCC on the new systems of assessment through its Center for K-12 Assessment and Performance Management. The K-12 center has created graphic illustrations to explain each of the two systems. (Download the PDF for PARCC or the PDF for Smarter Balanced.) The center also publishes webinars, reports, PowerPoint presentations, and a PDF guide on its work with PARCC and SBAC.
Research Reports by the Educational Policy Improvement Center (EPIC)
Two interesting studies about Common Core can be found through EPIC. "Lining Up: The Relationship Between the Common Core State Standards and Five Sets of Comparison Standards" (PDF) compares the Common Core to existing standards, including standards from California, Texas, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, among others. For "Reaching the Goal: The Applicability and Importance of the Common Core State Standards to College and Career Readiness," (PDF) EPIC interviewed college instructors about how closely the standards match their courses.

By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
Telework is now the law of the land for federal agencies. Proponents say telework can do everything from boost productivity to reduce pollution, but establishing a telework policy involves confronting some risks.
The IBM Center for the Business of Government has just released a new telework study looking at how four agencies have already started teleworking, what worked well, and what didn't.
Study author Dr. Scott Overmyer from the Center for Graduate Studies at Baker College told Federal News Radio the agencies are the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Overmyer said he picked those agencies "because they're fairly diverse in the jobs that they perform and also their telework programs are probably the most mature."
The one problem Overmyer said he found faced by the four agencies was management resistance. Not being able to make a leap of faith when it comes to managing employees when out of the office, said Overmyer, was "probably the primary difficulty that most of these agencies had in common."
In order to overcome that resistance, telework needs top down support, training for managers and the right equipment, said Overmyer.
One problem more unique to the agencies used as case studies was DISA's security concerns. Overmyer said the agency didn't let those concerns get in the way of implementation. "They've done that successfully and continue to do so and continue to come up with new ways to support teleworkers operating in a secure way and protecting information."
In fact, according to the study, that very "can do" approach to telework is one of the keys to DISA's telework success.
Once the decision was made to have a telework program, it was implemented quickly. (DISA senior Human Resources specialist, Aaron) Glover suggests that organizations " ... either have a telework program or not." In the case of DISA, it was decided to move ahead quickly rather than "over-analyze" the issue as one DISA staff member put it.
One of the major findings of the study, according to Overmyer, is that employees should be encouraged to use their own equipment. They know what they have. They're comfortable with it and are able to be productive immediately. "You don't have to demand GFE, Government Furnished Equipment, for every worker that does telework," said Overmyer. If you mandate GFE, this does solve a lot of problems, so many agencies do, but others don't depending on the sensitivity of the workload.

As the budget stalemate in Washington led to this week's government shutdown, a lot of animal advocates have been left wondering exactly how this unusual event is impacting our nation's animals. Yesterday we told you about the shutdown's effect on puppy mill inspections, but the federal government has many additional routine animal-protection responsibilities. We've done a little digging and outlined how the following animal welfare-related duties are being altered during this shutdown:
Horse Soring
The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is charged with enforcing the Horse Protection Act to combat the abusive practice of horse soring. APHIS oversees the inspection of at-risk show horses to ensure that they have not been sored and assesses penalties for violations. Suspension of this program during the shutdown could mean that unscrupulous trainers will take advantage of this lapse in oversight.
Animal Slaughter
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) upholds the requirements of the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act related to the treatment of animals prior to and during slaughter. This has been deemed a necessary function, so FSIS inspectors who monitor food safety and humane treatment in slaughterhouses continue to perform their duties during the shutdown.
Wild Horses
Federal agencies periodically round up and remove large numbers of free-roaming wild equines on public rangelands, a policy that has resulted in tens of thousands of wild horses languishing in holding facilities. Additional gathers are suspended during the shutdown, but caretakers for the horses already confined remain on the job.
Exotic animal exhibitors are regulated by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), and unfortunately, the welfare of these animals will go unchecked for the time being. However, the National Zoo in D.C., managed by the Smithsonian Institution, has retained employees essential to the security and the care of the zoo's animals.
Animals in Laboratories
The USDA enforces the AWA to ensure minimum standards of care for animals in laboratories. While employees are on the job maintaining the animals, there is no USDA watchdog ensuring that minimum standards of care are being met.
Hunting and Trapping
All National Wildlife Refuges are currently closed to the public, meaning hunting and trapping on these lands is prohibited for the duration of the shutdown. Federal law enforcement activities will continue on public lands to preserve resources and protect against illegal hunting.

Leave it up to the Democrats and a few Republicans to make the voiceless be the victims. Republicans already passed legislation to pay all govt.bills but defund Obamacare. Obama is simply trying to hurt groups of people (and now animals) and scare all of us into being part of his trainwreck- except for himself, Congress, and other exempt groups who supported him. He has egg on his face, along with Reid and they can't figure out how to wipe it off. They need to shut down factory farming, horse slaughter, gestation crates, animal experimentation- then we would have more money to help the animals in zoos, rodeos, circuses, Sea World, etc. where the abuse goes on until there are deaths. It is within the power of Congress to do this-pay the bills and nulify the Obama restrictions and it's been done before. The "king" is standing in deep #$@&.
Hutzie, I cannot fathom that so many are not aware that legislation was passed to pay all govt. bills, but defund Obamacare. Those who are for it do not realize that it will not be cheap for the individual needing insurance if they are working and they have to sign up in order not to fined. Lost two insurances because demands by the govt.on my providers were too expensive to meet. I am familiar with the system in Germany where everybody is insured. The law under which it operates is fair and could be used as an example since it covers for profit and non profit insurances.
The G0P representatives previously promised to shut down our government. Now many here want to place blame somewhere else. You refused to take ownership of the Great Recession and now you refuse to take ownership of the government shutdown. Obama is just your trash man? Clean-up after yourselves for a change.
Can't we volunteer for these jobs? If they can't be on the job, we CAN!!!
What any of this has to do with protecting animals. Obamacare is law and has been upheld by the Supreme Court by Justice Roberts (republican appointee). Government shutdown which not only affects people but animals is the point. Ted Cruz is leading you down a propaganda path of lies while democrats allow them to self destruct. All parties are wrong! Quit being part of the problem and let the animal lovers of this nation help the ones that did not elect these idiots.

With Spring Training just weeks away, I can't be picked on too much for writing a baseball column.
Some might raise issue since we haven't gotten the Super Bowl played, but since there are no southern teams involved in that game, I'll take the liberty of skipping ahead to the diamond.
I don't know how much our Clay County readers have been paying attention to the offseason, but some pretty special things have happened to one of our southern baseball teams.
That would be the Atlanta Braves.
Mississippi has a pretty healthy St. Louis following and amazingly enough a good Los Angeles Dodgers fan base, but when the Braves started winning in the early 1990s, many from the younger generations switched to watching Atlanta.
The main reason for this was that most of the games were televised on TBS during that decade. This made the Braves popular all over the country.
They were not just America's team, but they were the team to watch in the South. They were a baseball team the region could be proud of.
Its owner at the time, Ted Turner, for all of his faults did not mind spending money to make the team better.
He had three of the top pitchers in baseball in Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz. An array of fourth and fifth starters bolstered the rotation over the course of the 14-year run where the team won division titles.
Today, the Braves have arguable the best pitching staff in all of baseball, but you don't hear much about them.
In fact, the trio that will be in Atlanta for at least the next three seasons has nothing to do with pitching.
There will be three outfielders in Braves uniforms who I predict will re-energize Braves fans in the South, and they will sell tickets faster than hotcakes.
Jason Heyward, B.J. Upton and Justin Upton will be patrolling left, center and right for the Braves.
Their combination of speed, power and youth will have every Braves fan excited and anyone who likes watching baseball will buy tickets to see those three running down fly balls this season.
How did this come about?
The Braves already had Heyward, who finally came into his own this season, batting .269 with 27 homeruns and 89 RBI with 21 stolen bases.
B.J. Upton signed with the club in December, and he clubbed 27 homeruns with 78 RBI last season with 31 stolen bases.
As soon as he signed, he expressed how happy it would make him to play side-by-side with his little brother Justin, who was under contract with Arizona.
It took a lot of patience on the part of Atlanta GM Frank Wren, but he was able to pull off a trade that sent mid-tier prospects and fan-favorite Martin Prado to the D-Backs last week. Before you cry about losing Prado, he would have left for free-agency at the end of this season anyway.
Justin provides the same jolt in the lineup as his two fellow outfielders. He had a down year due to injury but still hit 17 homeruns with 67 RBI and 18 stolen bases.
The Braves will have rookie phenom Andrelton Simmons (SS) leading off in the lineup, followed likely by Chris Johnson (3B) whom they received also in the Upton trade. He hit 15 homeruns with 71 RBI last season.
Heyward, Upton and Upton will likely factor into the middle of the order, followed by power hitting second baseman Dan Uggla, power hitting first baseman Freddie Freeman and contact and power hitting catcher Brian McCann.
The pitching rotation will be topped by Tim Hudson, Mike Minor, Kris Medlen and Paul Maholm.
The bullpen is simply the best in baseball with Craig Kimbrel closing things out in the ninth behind powerful sixth, seventh and set-up pitchers in Cory Gearin, Johnny Venters and Christian Martinez.
I am not just talking the Braves up because they are my favorite team. These guys are the real deal, and they will win this year. They will do this with no one on the team signed to a $100 million contract.
If you're a baseball fan, get ready for a fun season in Atlanta.

MARK KEOHANE, in his weekly Business Day column, says the Stormers don't have what it takes to win this year's Super Rugby tournament.
The Stormers may be the only unbeaten team in Super Rugby but they are looking no better than they did in 2010 and last year, where they relied on defence to get to the play-offs but never had the attacking game to win the tournament.
Defensively the Stormers were again colossal in defying the Lions, but the lack of attacking edge is looking all too familiar for a side whose players draw too much inspiration from making a tackle and not enough from making a break.
Springbok wing Bryan Habana is again turning half chances into points and the set piece is as strong as the team's defensive desire, but there needs to be greater emphasis on attack if the Stormers are to challenge seriously for their first championship win.
The Bulls are the most complete and balanced of the South African contenders and their ruthlessness is unmatched in this year's tournament. Twice in five weeks they've created the opportunity to demolish the opposition and they've been uncompromising in delivering the most lethal of finishes.
The Reds were never going to win in Pretoria. Injury has hurt the Queenslanders' title defence, flyhalf and playmaker Quade Cooper is hugely missed and the players are finding the wearing of the crown decidedly tougher than the 2011 chase to attain it.
They would never have envisaged conceding 61 points and taking a 53-point beating, and for all the extenuating circumstances the scars of this defeat won't heal easily. I'd be surprised to see them win the tournament this year. They don't have the depth to counter the injury situation and so far they haven't enjoyed the good fortune of last year.
I also can't see the Stormers winning the title, which doesn't mean they can't suffocate the Bulls at Newlands this weekend and score a laboured once-off victory. Home-ground comforts remain an advantage in this tournament, but so do bonus points for scoring four-try wins.
The Stormers will always be tough to beat because their mindset is that of a team that plays not to lose, instead of playing to win. But the manner of victory should no longer be in duping their supporters into believing that the style of play is capable of delivering silverware. It isn't.
The Bulls are playing with expression and belief, and incumbent Bok flyhalf Morné Steyn has profited from the bulldozing dominance of his team-mates in contact and at the set piece.
Steyn is showing that he can control a game with more than his boot, but the criticism that he has limitations when there is no forward momentum remains as valid as it was a year ago.
He is playing with greater enjoyment than he did a year ago and if his form holds until June, he will start for the Boks against England, with Pat Lambie, Johan Goosen and Elton Jantjies providing options. It has been a long time since the country's stocks at flyhalf have been this high.
Goosen continues to scamper up the ladder in his first season in Super Rugby, although his decision to end the game against the Crusaders with a kick to touch was a contradiction of his talent. He offers too much as a player to adopt such a defeatist and conservative mindset and hopefully his team-mates gave him a blast at the final whistle.
The Cheetahs, the people's favourites in New Zealand as much as they are in SA, are still too content with coming second. The same is true of the Lions, who lost again at home.
How long can a team be young? How long can players be commended for their character in a losing cause? How many more Super Rugby excuses for SA's domestic champions?
Every team suffers injury. Every team battles hardship in this tournament, but there comes a time when a team must be judged on how many games — and not friends — they win.
And that time has surely come for the Lions.
They have the game and the players to defeat the Crusaders in Johannesburg this weekend, just as the Stormers have the mentality to beat the Bulls.
Both results are possible but I am not as convinced of the possibility that the Stormers or the Lions can be potential championship winners.
To convince me that it can be any other way, the Stormers have to change the way they win games and the Lions have to start winning some games. Ditto the Cheetahs and Sharks.
As for the Bulls … don't change a thing.

By Daniel
from Searcy, AR
I just wanted something to practice putting without having to drive to a course. At first I wanted more chains to make it more like my local course but after using it I like the amount it has cause it forces me to be more accurate. The price for this is fantastic. It's at least $30 cheaper than anywhere else I found. And it shipped the day I ordered it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Much better than expected!
By I Love Toys!
from Foster City, CA
I was looking for a disc golf target for casual play but balked at the high prices for full size sets or cheap build of lower cost ones. I came across this set while casually persuing the HS site. The product description and photos looked good and the price almost too good to be true. I decided to take a chance and order one. I set my expectations fairly low since again, it was very reasonably priced.The set arrived in short order and was very well packaged by the manufacturer. It only took a few minutes to set up and most of that time was removing all the protective packaging! No tools were needed at all. Build quality is excellent. The base is wide enough to be stable on uneven ground and never came close to tipping over when ever we flung our discs at it. Oh yes, the included discs are perfect for beginners and allow everyone to get in on the fun right away. I'm so impressed I'm going to order at least one more to we can mix it up in our yard.

18year old son set them up in minutes Christmas morning, he can't wait for the snow to melt to try them outside. They seem durable and exactly what we expected for the money; good product and value.

WoW!! What a GREAT Gift!!
By Ace Robster!!
from Granville, Ohio
I was truly amazed when my wife and kids bought this for me for Father's Day. I play disc golf at least once a week so this was the perfect gift! I have to say that I was impressed by the craftsmanship and the bright colors. Now my son and I can play without even heading out to the local course. I would buy another one today!!

Great value for my husband
By Frolfers Wife
from Huntsville, AL
Can't beat the quality for the price. I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband, and he loves it! It's well put together and easy to assemble. He did mention that, like another reviewer said, there aren't as many chains on this target as some of the ones he typically plays on, but he feels that it will make him better at scoring on those other targets after practicing on this one. We'd definitely recommend it.
Great target!
By CAM
from Tennessee
I bought this for my 17 year old for Christmas and he has been using it every day. His buddies say he has the home field advantage now. Great price and will buy another for a bigger home course!!
