Kansas Sees Only Slight Change in Revenue Estimates
Associated Press - November 6, 2013 6:43 pm
A monthly survey of bankers suggests the economy will remain weak in rural parts of 10 Midwestern and Western states because of low grain and oil prices.
Kansas officials have slightly reduced their projections for state revenues during the current fiscal year.
But acting Budget Director Jon Hummel said Wednesday the state will still be able to sustain the spending in the budget for both the current fiscal year and the one that begins in July 2014.
Fiscal forecasters said the state should collect $5.86 billion in revenues during the current fiscal year. That's $29 million lower than the previous projection of $5.89 billion.
The previous estimate was made in April.
The forecasters also issued the first projections for the next fiscal year. They're predicting that the state will collect $5.92 billion in revenues. The growth would be $61 million, or 1 percent.
The economy is in the toilet and now we are losing our health insurance or the cost is 3 or 4 times of what we are currently paying. There is no money to go around.

Video Finds: Tosin Abasi of Animals As Leaders Tackles Eight-String Acoustic Guitar
Video Finds: Tosin Abasi of Animals As Leaders Tackles Eight-String Acoustic Guitar
How does he make it look so easy?
Here's Tosin Abasi from Animals As Leaders doing his thing on an eight-string acoustic guitar built and designed by Julien Bergeron.
Tosin says, "I am blown away by the tone, volume and playability of this thing!"
Mainly a self-taught guitarist, Abasi has graced the pages of Guitar World and is known for his technical prowess.
He is typically seen with his Ibanez TAM100 Signature eight-string electric guitar.
The new album from Animals as Leaders, The Joy of Motion, will be out March 25 via Sumerian Records. For about Abasi and the band, visit sumerianrecords.com.
He sure does make playing eight strings look easy:

March 06, 2014 at 4:11pm
I have enough trouble with 6 strings! That didn't sound like a guitar it sounded almost like an Asian type instrument. I like the sound of a Martin non electric acoustic watching Steve Howe in 1973 play the clap fried my brain lol

"He sure does make playing eight strings look easy"
Well, yeah! When you've got fingers seven inches long and more talent than any five of your friends put together.
This guy is outrageous.

Still having fun with the journey!
I'm mature when it comes to my career, but still feel young and intrigued when learning about new people and things. I love good food, wine, and travel. I dance the mambo (salsa) in my free time. I love to laugh. If you can't laugh, then I'm not going to connect with you. If you can't make me laugh, then I'm probably going to get bored with you. I have a dry sense of humor and some might even consider it sarcastic. But it's all just fun. I like all types of people (especially those that have an open mind and can enjoy and respect the diversity in people). I am brutally honest and have trouble saying the "right" thing (if it's not the truth). I am however generous to a fault, and I like to share my experiences and blessings with my friends. I'm great to have as a friend. I am very loyal and steadfast. However, it takes a long time for me to develop friendships. My closest friends have been close to me for dozens of years. I am deeply family oriented and consider members of my immediate family sacred. I'm very cerebral (former master-rated chess player) and fairly up to date on current events. I like the arts, but I'm not really that well trained in them. I've studied at the best "ivy-league" universities, but I prefer to spend my time with regular people who can live, and joke, and admit that they don't have a clue. I can be highly competitive, if it is something I want or need. I have a tough time giving up when I'm convinced that I want something. I play most sports and am fairly athletic. I have recently begun to play golf and I love to play with my friends (even though it is very time consuming).I'm looking for a woman who is comfortable and happy with herself. She must be attractive in both style and appearance. I'm looking for someone who is opinionated and has views on issues which relate to her, her country, and the world. I'm looking for someone who doesn't have limits. My ideal match likes to enjoy life and likes people. She likes diversity and is secure about herself in the world. She loves to travel and likes to experience new things. She loves to laugh and likes to make other people laugh. She is loyal and highly family oriented. She is confident, yet doesn't take herself too seriously.

Tony Perkins Defends Family Research Council, Sort Of
I went up against Tony Perkins, the head of the hard-line anti-gay group Family Research Council (FRC), on MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews" last night. Perkins was there to defend his organization after the SPLC listed it as a hate group last week. The whole experience was like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall.
When I pointed out that FRC Senior Research Fellow Peter Sprigg had been on Matthews' air just last February saying that "homosexual behavior" should be outlawed, Perkins said the FRC is not currently engaged in trying to send gay people to prison for having sex. But as much as Matthews tried to pin him down, Perkins never repudiated what Sprigg had said as an official FRC representative.
That may have been the least of Perkins' slippery behavior.
After I noted the FRC's long record of associating gay men with pedophilia — a spurious allegation that has been roundly rejected by relevant scientific authorities including the American Psychological Association — Perkins responded, in part, by citing what sounded like a respectable medical professional association.
"If you look at the American College of Pediatricians, they say the research is overwhelming that homosexuality poses a danger to children," Perkins said. "So Mark is wrong. He needs to go back and do his own research."
Was I wrong? Perhaps the more relevant question is this: What is the American College of Pediatricians? ( continue to full post… )
Anti-Gay Activist Adds Homophobia to Airport Frisking Controversy
As if travelers don't have enough to worry about when they go through airport security, the leader of a prominent anti-gay hate group has added a dollop of his personal agenda to the mix. With the controversy growing over whether the new full-body scanners and more-aggressive pat-down searches are excessive invasions of privacy, Peter LaBarbera, long-time anti-gay activist and director of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) is worried that gay Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees will "get turned on" while patting down travelers of the same sex.
LaBarbera's press release, published on AFTAH's Web site Nov. 16, came in response to a statement from U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano assuring that members of the same gender would perform checkpoint pat-downs. "Isn't it just as inappropriate for a 'gay' male TSA agent to pat down male travelers as it is for a normal, heterosexual male TSA agent to pat down female travelers?" he wrote. "The reality is, most traveling men would not want Barney Frank to pat them down at the airport security checkpoint. … Neither would it be fair to assign Ellen DeGeneres to pat down female travelers."

Arkansas House Speaker Salutes Failed Racist Candidate Billy Roper
Outspoken white racist Billy Roper, the neo-Nazi founder of White Revolution and former deputy outreach coordinator at the now-defunct National Alliance (NA), failed miserably Nov. 2 as a write-in candidate for governor of Arkansas. But he did get a nice consolation prize: a letter from the speaker of the Arkansas House of Representatives, Robbie Wills, congratulating him on his efforts and wishing him better luck next time.
"It takes a special person to put their name on the ballot, and it says a lot about you that you had so many willing to help you with your campaign," Wills' letter reads. "You should be very proud of your campaign and you have my admiration and respect for making the effort. … I hope you will consider running for office again in the future."
The rest is equally platitudinous and generic, and closes, "Thank you again for all you've done, and will continue to do, for our great State." ( continue to full post… )
New Intelligence Report Finds Gays Most Targeted for Violent Hate Crimes
The FBI issued its 2009 Hate Crime Statistics report this morning. The report shows that the number of reported hate crime incidents fell from 7,783 to 6,604. But a pattern that has existed since the FBI started tallying these numbers remains: the LGBT community is, by far, the most victimized by violent hate crimes (attacks against people as opposed to property). The rate at which gays and lesbians suffer from such crimes greatly exceeds their presence in the population, a painful reality documented in the Winter 2010 issue of the SPLC's Intelligence Report, which was released today.
The 2009 FBI numbers show that the LGBT community suffers from violent hate crimes at levels that are more than eight times their percentage in the population. Analyzing the FBI data from 1995 to 2008, the Report found that gays are 2.6 times more likely to be attacked than blacks; 4.4 times more likely than Muslims; 13.8 times more likely than Latinos; and 41.5 times more likely than whites. The basic pattern holds true when looking at individual years. ( continue to full post… )
Un-TruTV: Fear vs. Fact on Ventura's 'Conspiracy Theory'
Madison, Georgia. Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura and "conspiracy expert" Alex Jones creep through the woods and hunker down beside a tree. Jones points through underbrush. Ventura leans forward, peers at something, and says in his ominous rumbling baritone, "What in the hell is this?"
The camera shifts to stacks of oblong black plastic containers. "Coffins," Jones replies — each large enough to hold three or four bodies. Should the government decide to unleash a bioweapon to orchestrate a takeover of America, Jones explains, there are plenty of containers right here to dispose of the bodies. Ventura displays one of his signature glares — the kind he no doubt used to ice opponents while wrestling as "The Body" years ago — and points to nearby train tracks. Just in case the viewer doesn't immediately grasp why this is suspicious, none-too-subtle images of World War II-era trains loaded with Jews on their way to Nazi concentration camps flash on the screen.
Welcome to Jesse Ventura's "Conspiracy Theory," which airs on Turner Broadcasting System's cable network, TruTV. In this Nov. 12 episode, entitled "Police State," Ventura works to prove the existence of so-called FEMA camps – "concentration camps" to be used as part of a U.S. government plot to round up and imprison millions of Americans so that unnamed "elites" can establish a dictatorship.

With Monday's guilty plea of former Alabama state trooper James Bonard Fowler in the 1965 slaying of civil rights worker Jimmy Lee Jackson, another of the infamous cold cases that have languished unresolved since the turbulent peak of the civil rights movement was closed.
Fowler, 77, will spend six months in prison in exchange for pleading guilty to a charge of second-degree manslaughter, a misdemeanor. He was facing a murder charge.
Since his 2004 admission to a reporter that he pulled the trigger, Fowler has insisted that he shot Jackson in self-defense in a Marion, Ala., café during a civil rights protest that turned violent. Jackson succumbed to his wounds eight days later. His death is widely credited with prompting the March 7, 1965, "Bloody Sunday" Selma-to-Montgomery march that was met with police violence on the Edmund Pettis Bridge. The series of events inspired passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. ( continue to full post… )
David Duke, Huffing About Sexual Mores, Calls the Kettle Black
Now that he's gaining in years, former Klan boss and longtime white supremacy advocate David Duke, who in his youth gained a notorious reputation as a womanizing playboy, is apparently now shifting to a more traditional role of moralizing geezer. Witness his most recent video "lecture," wherein he piously instructs his audience on the historical roots of the "sexual revolution" — which, in Duke's view, is the product of Sigmund Freud's theories of psychoanalysis and therefore is yet another civilization-destroying product of conniving Jews: ( continue to full post… )
Defender of Hate Group Leader Campaigning to Head GOP
Saul Anuzis, leader of the Michigan GOP until last year, announced earlier this week that he would be challenging Michael Steele for the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee (RNC). Anuzis had made a failed but significant run against Steele, the party's first black leader, for the same post in 2009.
Writing about his hopes for the RNC, Anuzis, an avid Twitter user and blogger, especially emphasized his tech-savviness at online social networking as an asset for making electoral gains for the party. What Anuzis didn't mention was the kind of contacts he cultivated offline in Michigan, in particular his vocal support of the right-wing extremist Kyle Bristow. Bristow led the Michigan State University campus branch of Young Americans For Freedom (MSU-YAF) and was so virulent in his politics that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) began listing it as a hate group in 2006. Bristow also served as a Republican precinct delegate.
Bristow's MSU-YAF engaged in extensive racist activities. One of its first stunts was presenting a 13-point agenda that would have established a "Caucasian caucus" at MSU and, in turn, eliminated all student government representation for practically every other non-white, non-heterosexual, non-male or non-Christian student group at the university. Bristow was on record saying, "Homosexuality kills people almost to a degree worse than cigarettes. … these [pro-gay rights] groups are complicit with murder." MSU-YAF sponsored a "Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day" contest, held a "Koran Desecration" competition, jokingly threatened to distribute smallpox-infested blankets to Native American students, and posted "Gays Spread AIDS" fliers across campus. Bristow's YAF also brought several extremists to speak at the MSU campus, including Holocaust denier Nick Griffin, leader of the whites-only British National Party (for more on YAF, read here).

Better Homes and Aryans: April Gaede Wants to be a Publisher
April Gaede, long-time white supremacist and Jill-of-all-Aryan-trades, is working on yet another new project. Perhaps the Aryan matchmaker service she was trying to launch in January isn't working out so well, so Gaede is moving from breeding material to reading material.
Her latest venture, which she announced Nov. 1 on the racist website Stormfront.org, is an as-yet-unnamed magazine geared specifically to "white nationalist women." Gaede hopes to launch her first issue around Christmas, so she's soliciting articles of 500 to 2,000 words from fellow white nationalist "ladies" dealing with recipes, family traditions and customs, home-schooling tips, hair and makeup ideas and politics and the recent election (because nothing says "Christmas" like politics). The pieces must have a pro-white slant, she explains, and "if you can provide photos or pictures, that would be wonderful."
Gaede, who lives in Kalispell, Mont., is best known as the micromanaging stage mom for daughters Lynx and Lamb, who used to perform as the neo-Nazi musical duo Prussian Blue. After her daughters appeared to lose interest, Gaede went on to engage in other attention-getting escapades — no surprise from a woman who once rode a horse almost naked through her hometown as part of a radio promotion and who more recently boasted of scoring free merchandise by distracting clerks.

Violent IKA Activist Lashes Out Again
Jarred Hensley is a white supremacist who likes to hurt people. He did prison time for it. And now he's figured out a way to hurt people and even break a country's laws without having to do jail time. Along the way, he's also caused something of an international uproar on the Internet.
Hensley is a Cincinnati-based activist in the Imperial Klans of America (IKA), one who already brought serious trouble to the organization. In 2006, he and fellow IKA member Andrew R. Watkins brutally assaulted a 16-year-old in rural Kentucky because they thought he was Latino. The pair spent three years in prison for the attack, and the SPLC brought a lawsuit against the IKA that resulted in a $2.5 million judgment against the hate group.
Now, Hensley — out of prison and evidently with a lot of time on his hands — has joined the ranks of Internet "trolls" who haunt the Web and harass people for various reasons, including leaving ugly messages for bereaved family members and friends of the deceased. (A recent New York Times Magazine piece explored their weird world in depth.) ( continue to full post… )

labpacks of organic solids), waste disposal firms and off-site facilities often establish a waste-stream profile. In some cases, detailed analytical information is not necessary if waste containers fall within the profile's hazard classification.
8.B.2.2 Identification Responsibilities of All Laboratory Personnel
Because proper management and disposal of laboratory waste requires information about its properties, it is very important that laboratory personnel accurately and completely identify and clearly label all chemical and waste containers in their laboratory, as well as maintain the integrity of source material labels. It is recommended that supplementary information be kept in a separate, readily available record (e.g., laboratory information system, lab notebook), especially for very small containers or collections. In academic laboratories where student turnover is frequent, identification is particularly important for the materials used or generated. This practice is as important for small quantities as it is for large quantities.
8.B.2.3 Characterization of Unknowns
Establishing the hazardous characteristics and evaluating the potential listing of clearly identified waste is usually quite simple. Unidentified materials (unknowns) present a problem, however, because recycling, treatment, and disposal facilities need to know characteristics and hazards to manage waste safely. All chemicals must be characterized sufficiently for safe transportation off-site.
Analysis of laboratory unknowns is expensive, especially if EPA methods must be used, or the presence of a constituent must be ruled out, and handling unknowns is risky due to the possible presence of unstable, reactive, or highly toxic chemicals or byproducts. Although expensive, some waste disposal firms offer on-site services to categorize unknown laboratory waste to prepare it for shipment to their treatment facility.
8.B.2.4 In-Laboratory Test Procedures for Unknowns
When the identity of the material is not known, simple in-laboratory test procedures can be carried out to determine the hazard class into which the material should be categorized. Because the generator may be able to supply some general information, it may be beneficial to carry out the test procedures before the materials are removed from the laboratory. Perform these tests only if they can be done safely, and only if they facilitate the characterization of the waste required by your hazardous waste disposal firm. Understand that the following test procedures are only to provide additional information, and do not meet EPA regulatory requirements for waste analysis.
In general, precisely determining the molecular structure of the unknown material is not necessary. Hazard classification usually satisfies the regulatory requirements and those of the treatment disposal facility. However, it is important to establish which analytical data are required by the disposal facility.
Trained laboratory personnel who carry out the analytical procedures should be familiar with the characteristics of the waste and any necessary precautions. Because the hazards of the materials being tested are unknown, the use of proper personal protection and safety devices such as chemical hoods and shields is imperative. Older samples are particularly dangerous because they may have changed in composition, for example, through the formation of peroxides. (See Chapter 4, section 4.D.3.2, for information on the formation and identification of peroxides. See Chapter 6, section 6.G.3, for information on testing and disposal of peroxides.)
The following information is commonly required by treatment and disposal facilities before they agree to handle unknown materials:
• physical description,
• water reactivity,
• water solubility,
• pH,
• ignitability (flammability),
• presence of oxidizer,
• presence of sulfides or cyanides,
• presence of halogens,
• presence of radioactive materials,
• presence of biohazardous materials,
• presence of toxic constituents,
• presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and
• presence of high-odor compounds.
The following test procedures are readily accomplished by trained laboratory personnel. The overall sequence for testing is depicted in Figure 8.1 for liquid and solid materials.
• Physical description. Include the state of the material (solid, liquid), the color, and the consistency (for solids) or viscosity (for liquids). For liquid materials, describe the clarity of the solution (transparent, translucent, or opaque). If an unknown material is a bi- or tri-layered liquid, describe each layer separately, giving an approximate percentage of the total for each layer. After

Thursday, June 10, 2010
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Brian Paglia
Mike Weed drove into Victory Lane and parked his No. 29 Legends car. He got out and let forth a short, emphatic celebratory shout.
"It feels good to be back here," Weed said.
Weed won his first Thursday Thunder race since 2008 on Thursday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, passing Garrett Smithley on lap four and withstanding a caution on lap 13 to claim his first-ever Semi-Pro win.
"It was pretty cut and dry," Weed said. "It took a few laps to get to the front. When I got to the front, I found I pretty much had the most dominant car out there."
Not that success in the Semi-Pro division had eluded the Franklin-native entirely. It had just eluded him at AMS. Weed has two Semi-Pro wins at Lanier National Speedway and won an offseason race at AMS.
But to claim his first Semi-Pro win in Thursday Thunder was significant for Weed. This was the track he came to when he was six to see his first NASCAR race, where he came when he was eight to witness Thursday Thunder for the first time.
"It's a bigger crowd, more excitement and a harder track to drive. It's one of the hardest races in the Legends
series," Weed said. "To win here and beat all these people, it makes it even better."
Weed raced in the now-defunct Chargers division for a year-and-a-half. Four weeks into the 2008 season, Weed had two wins and a runner-up finish, and he was promptly promoted to Semi-Pro.
"I remember, I was up in the stands and he could go to the back to the front in probably four laps," said Bill Stevenson, a fellow Semi-Pro racer.
But Weed's mid-season transition into Semi-Pro was anything but smooth. In six races, his best finish was 10th place in the eighth week of the season.
But Weed showed marked improvement last season. He finished in the top 5 seven times and finished fifth in the final standings.
This season, Weed opened the season with a fifth-place finish. With an inverted start, Weed began the race in the back and got stuck. Thursday, Weed started third with an inverted start and calmly navigated to the front.
"I feel we're more competitive," Weed said. "We're able to go up to the front and lead a race, lead a lot of laps and win races now since we've gotten better."
Help from a friend
When Amber Colvin showed up last week for the Thursday Thunder opener, she did so not knowing if it would be her only race of the season. Without a significant sponsor, a lack of funds threatened to shut down her season just a few months after winning the 2010 NASCAR Diversity Young Racer Award.
But Colvin was back Thursday night thanks to an unexpected donation from an unlikely source.
After finishing her Semi-Pro race last week, Colvin sat in the stands watching the rest of the night unfold. She glanced at her Blackberry. There was a message.
"It was from this guy who had come to see me race from Maine," Colvin explained. "He had put $2,000 in my PayPal account."
So Colvin was able to race at Charlotte Motor Speedway and AMS. She finished 10th last night after getting sent to the back for making contact with Jordan Coker.
And when she was done, Colvin faced a familiar dilemma. The $2,000 is gone after two races, and Colvin is left to hope that last night's race won't be her last this season.

Within the conference discussing how shrinkage has become a pressing problem in many parts of Europe, the LEED programme is organising a workshop which especially focuses on policies and programs to foster skills, employment development and job creation in areas of shrinkage.
This LEED project will assess the job creation potential of the social economy in various institutional frameworks, examine the conditions under which the contribution of social economy organisations to employment can be maximised and identify obstacles and possible solutions.
This LEED project will examine the capacity of local economies to support new enterprise creation and the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), including in the social enterprise sector, and how it can be enhanced through local economic and employment development policies.
This study will analyse how selected local areas/industry clusters identify the specific skills needed to support green growth and how related skills policies and practices can be made more effective in supporting their provision and accelerating transition to a low-carbon economy.
The project will identify the policy levers and instruments that can be helpful in the design of strategies to accompany the transition to older local labour markets, and identify how national policy frameworks can best support these transformations.

Megan Fox: I Wasn't Fired, I Quit 'Transformers'
"Megan Fox will not be starring in 'Transformers 3.' It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best," reps for FOX tell PEOPLE.
Earlier, a studio spokeswoman confirmed to Variety that Paramount decided against picking up Fox to star as Mikaela Banes in the third installment but declined to elaborate. Sources claim they will be casting a new female lead to star opposite LaBeouf in the upcoming movie.
Fox has a contentious relationship with 'Transformers' director Michael Bay.
The drama between Fox and Bay started last year when she told London's Wonderland Magazine, "[Bay] wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for, but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward ... He has no social skills at all. And it's endearing to watch him. He's vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he's a tyrant."
And according to Fox, Bay pushes his actors to the breaking point while filming. "Shia and I almost die when we make a 'Transformers' movie," she told the mag. "He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do."
After those reports surfaced, she tried to clear the air when she accepted the award for Best Sci-Fi Actress at the fourth annual Scream Awards. She decided to take the opportunity to clear up her stance on the 'Transformers' franchise.
"I don't usually do this, but I wanted to say something," Fox said. "There have been a lot of false reports about how I feel about this movie. I just want to be very clear that I've always felt I'm a very ordinary part of an extraordinary film."
"The movie took me out of obscurity and gave me a career, and I'm completely grateful to everyone involved with this franchise."

The movie still has the potential to be good its just lost a huge factor behide it. Megan Fox should be replaced by someone just as good looking and with REAL actting skill such as Scarlett Johansson who, lets be honest, is much better then megan Fox!
- Saturday 22 May
I personally think that it's unfortunate the Megan Fox will not be participating in the 3rd Sequal of Transformers. I think that she's a talent actress and she has a long career ahead of her. I'm sure that director Michael Bay will find someone to replace her role in the film however, she's really not replaceable. She's very good at what she do and I wish her all the success in the future.
- Saturday 22 MayBy JohnG
She probably needed an extra two hours in make-up to cover all that garbage she's placed on her skin, huge money when you consider a 5 month shoot and everyone else waiting for her to get her 'body art' covered.
Back to obscurity for Megan - or maybe porn with Lindsay Lohan!

Transformer will do just fine without Megan Fox. Her pathetic film jennifer's body only earned 14 millions, if all the credit goes to megan fox, that film should have made way more than that, but it didn't. When someone is so ugly on the inside, and so ungrateful, they simply don't deserve anything. Michael Bay literally gave her a career, without him, she is nothing. But instead of being thankful, she bad mouths him. Good for Michael Bay for firing her. Her career will be over soon, she will never be able to make any movies as big as transformer.

Little girl's 911 call is adorable
So did you hear about the 5-year-old Indiana girl who talked to the 911 operator because her father could not breathe and was having chest pains?
He survived thanks in part to his little princess' calm and smarts. When the dispatcher asks her what's wrong, Savannah says: "Um...my Dad can't hardly breathe."
The Hancock County dispatcher, Jason Bonham, quickly dispatches an ambulance to the scene. The dialogue between Bonham and Savannah is great.
Maybe I'm sensitive today, but listening the video of little Savannah got me a bit choked up.
She told Bonham that help needed to come really fast while telling her father: "Don't worry dad."
This is a learning lesson. Kids will be out of school soon, so make sure they know what to do in the case of an emergency. Last summer after the Miller Ride For The Arts, I took my daughter to the Summerfest grounds where they had a safety tent for kids that covered everything from what to do in case of a fire to someone needing medical assistance quickly. It was great and geared just for kids.
My daughter did well on the exercises but it was a good refresher for the others as well.
Now back to Savannah. This little girl is a hero.

Want to get away, Boss?
Bruce Springsteen bellowed "Hello, Ohio!" to his fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills. That's in Michigan.
The 60-year-old rock legend referred to the neighboring state several times Friday night until E Street Band guitarist Steve Van Zandt whispered in his ear.
A visibly embarrassed Springsteen grinned and said such a mistake was "every front man's nightmare."
The Detroit Free Press says Springsteen rocked the forgiving audience for nearly three hours with new and old hits, including a complete performance of his album "Born to Run."

My 8 year old grandson will not speak to me. In fact, he seems mortified if I even approach him to speak. He is like this with all the grown-up members of our family and other adult friends of his parents. He can talk perfectly well with siblings and other children, also his parents, but simply will not say one word to the rest of us. This is becoming socially uncomfortable for all concerned and I'm afraid my son and his wife do not take likely to my continual demands for them to seek help for him. They have had the school psychiatrist to speak to them and he said there is absolutely nothing wrong with the child. I'm sure this is the case, but he chooses not to speak to us and this cannot go on for obvious reasons. Funnily enough, when he was a toddler he did communicate but has simply ceased to do so over the last 5 or 6 years. How can I persuade my son to seek help to sort this problem?
From: GrannieTricia, Castle Douglas, UK
Dear Grannie Tricia,
If the school psychologist found "absolutely nothing wrong," his parents have, as you wish, sought professional advice. It's also possible the psychologist gave the parents advice which perhaps they haven't shared with you, but which likely was along the lines of "ignore the behavior." If so, I would agree.
Giving attention to the behavior -- even though it's negative attention -- only reinforces it. Your grandson is doing this in the first place because he derives a sense of power and control from it. Why he feels the need for that particular power and control is, of course, the million-dollar question. Like you, I hope the parents get more professional advice. My advice to you is to butt out and stop nagging your son. You've said your piece. You can ask them if they are worried but if they say they are not, then express your trust in them and drop it. Your job is to be supportive. Plus, there is good news here: It appears your grandson does not have a speech, developmental or medical problem, or that he is targeting only you. In fact, my guess is that his behavior is aimed at his parents.
Meanwhile, however, you are not as powerless as you think in terms of your relationship with your grandson. Here are some suggestions from Arlington (MA) parenting consultant Linda Braun. Linda, who is a friend and mentor, is professor emeritus at Wheelock College, the former director of Families First Parenting Programs, and a grandmother of four.
* Don't pressure or cajole him into talking to you.
* Flip things around so that it's not about "why don't you talk to me," but more about "I really value what you have to say." Tell him, "I know that you can't or don't want to talk to me, but I would like to know what you think about X...." X, of course, would be some interest you have in common or something about which he has expertise. Furthermore: "I was thinking of emailing or texting you sometimes to get your opinion." If he doesn't have either of those options, Braun suggests, "Send him notes in the mail once in a while - 'I saw a write -up of a great movie today and wondered if you'd like to go see it with me on Saturday? Please ask Mom to call me.' Or: "How did your team do today?"
* In person, Braun suggests playing board games or finding side-by-side activities (baking? gardening? biking? watching a favorite video?) that don't really involve his talking, but will produce some closeness.
"In all likelihood," says Braun, "he will eventually open up."
"PS," she adds in her email to me. "The parents could probably use some counseling on how to handle this (and maybe they are getting it), but the grandmother has to be very careful. The whole family may have control issues."

Art Career
Hello all,
I was considering training for a possible part-time or eventual career position as what I'm thinking might be termed as an art cosultant. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I would like to become proficient in matching persons to certain types of art after examining their personality/desires/tastes and also matching art styles to the colors, shading, & other features of an individual room or indoor/outdoor space. For example, parents of a bold, extroverted child might seem happier with a certain style of painting in the child's room. I envision that it would be my job to be aware of artists whose paintings or prints might come nearest to matching or match my client's desires and, by educating clients, make them aware of hidden desires/tastes which they may not even have considered.
Can a person do this part time or eventually make a career out of this, & what would a position as I have described be termed as?
In addition, where should I begin in my initial training; any particular college courses?, attending auctions-galleries?, online courses, seminars?, etc.?
Thank you very much for any information & assistance.

Half-court shot wins Auburn student $5,000 towards tuition
Feb 14, 2013, 6:00 PM EDT
So recently, if you haven't figured it out, hitting half-court shots at college basketball games has become a thing.
It happened in Hinkle Field House. It happened at Seattle University. Notre Dame. And a few other spots.
Go ahead and add Auburn to the list. This kid hit a half-court shot in the Golden Flake (really awesome potato chips, by the way) Tuition Shootout to win $5,000 of his college experience paid for.
Not bad for a heave in a game the Tigers would eventually lose to Arkansas.
<iframe width="560″ height="315″ src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1vcpgDqG2M8″ frameborder="0″ allowfullscreen>
The kid hits the first two shots easy, then, got to give him credit here, he misses his first two three-point attempts before sinking the third and hits a running leaper for the half-court glory.
Kind of makes me wish I could get a half-court shot for something soon. Everyone's doing it.
So if everyone starts to make them, will schools start going back to three-quarter-court shots?

What are the tax implications on the winnings?
- David Harten - Feb 14, 2013 at 8:14 PM
Good question. Could go two ways: The student pays or the company has already paid. If the company has already paid, then the $5,000 is really inflated, but the student gets $5,000 as a result. If the student pays, well, I wouldn't be as jacked about that half-courter if I was him.

Oregon State head coach Mike Riley was so pumped after his team escaped in Tuscon with a 38-35 win over Arizona on Saturday that he tweeted the following message:
How bout them Beavers!!!!!Huge guts, never ever give up! #BeaverJuice #GoBeavs
— Mike Riley (@Coach_Riley) September 30, 2012
That Beaver Juice is intense. It's what fuels Oregon State's football team on the field. And now they're 3-0 with three impressive wins, including two big ones on the road. A 9-3 season looks like it could be in the works.
Oh, and Riley also tweeted that Oregon State was going to In-N-Out Burger as a reward for their victory for the second week in a row. Maybe that's where they fill up on their Beaver Juice.

Green Infrastructure
NACWA has been at the forefront of efforts to advocate for the use of green infrastructure as one way to address the nation's clean water challenges that result from wet weather. Green infrastructure includes vegetated swales, rain gardens, porous concrete, and rain barrels to capture or divert storm water that otherwise would go directly into the sewer system and uses nature's own mechanisms for treatment.
