Gov. Terry Branstad in a interview with Register reporters at the Iowa Statehouse.
- Filed Under
So, our governor wants to attract more businesses to Iowa by lowering our already low business property taxes. How many business owners who are here for the long term will want to stay in a state where water quality is horrible, feedlots are rampant and endangering our quality of life, and many of our citizens have no access to health care?
Let's make our state attractive as a great place to boat, fish, hunt, bike, hike and enjoy. Let's offer high quality schools and workers who, in turn, will have more disposable income.

This is my first post in the Exchange, and I'd like to recommend a book!
Book: The Talent Code
Author: Daniel Coyle
This is a great book that really de-mystifies practicing and skill building. According to the book, scientists have found that skill is actually a physical structure that gets built in our brains. As we build a skill, the physical structure of our brains changes. Neuro pathways get wrapped in a fatty substance that's simliar to wrapping a bare electrical cable so that signals from the brain travel faster and stronger to the muscles. It just so happens that the mechanism takes a long time to complete the wrapping, and that's where the 10,000 hour rule comes in to it. It's really reinforced some things in the way that I teach percussion and helped me to be more effective.
Check it out!

About Albany's
elementary magnet schools
A magnet
school is a specialized program that focuses instruction on a particular
theme and incorporates that theme across all subject areas.
Albany's three magnet
elementary schools
give families a
choice in public education. Students have a unique opportunity to deeply explore enriched,
theme-based programs in specific areas.
Magnet schools are open to children citywide and enrolled by two random
lotteries: one for prekindergarteners and one for older students.
Families need to apply for the lotteries. The district conducted the
lotteries for the 2015-16 school year March 3.
If you missed the lottery and would like to apply for your child
to be in a waiting pool
for a magnet school, download and complete
this application and return it
to Central Registration, 75 Watervliet Ave., Albany, 12206.
Click on its highlighted
name below to learn more about each school.
Albany School of Humanities
(ASH). Serving prekindergarten through grade 6.
At ASH, learners explore diverse cultures through the study of
visual arts, literature, music and theater arts.
Montessori Magnet School.
Serving prekindergarten through grade 5.

Applying to magnet
Admission to Albany's magnet schools is done through two random
lotteries -- one for prekindergarten, and one for
grades kindergarten through 5 or 6, depending on the school.
Student selection in the lottery is random, but
certain factors take priority when determining where children will be
Neighborhood Preference
Children who reside within designated magnet-school attendance zones are
given admission preference within the lottery system according to the
current district neighborhood preference policy.
Sibling Preference
Siblings of students currently enrolled in any
of the three magnet schools are given admission preference within
the lottery system.
Education --
Placement of students who receive special-education services, including
placement in integrated classrooms, must be determined by the Committee
on Special Education since students
with Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are placed into appropriate
programs based on the committee's recommendations.
Students entered in the
lotteries who do not receive a seat are placed in a waiting pool.
Please follow this link
for more information about waiting pools and next steps for families
following the initial lotteries.
You also can call the the Magnet School Office at
475-6551 or Central Registration at 475-6125 if you have questions or

Driven to Kill (Blu-ray)
Directed by Jeff F. King
Studio: Twentieth Century-Fox
Year: 2009
Aspect Ratio: 1.85:11080pAVC codec
Running Time: 98 minutes
Rating: R
Audio: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 English
Subtitles: SDH, Spanish
Region: A
Release Date: May 19, 2009
Review Date: May 26, 2009
Steven Seagal is still making movies? Who knew? Actually, his latest effort Driven to Kill is a movie in name only. Oh, it has the usual quota of bullets, blows, and blood, but its leading man is so bloated and thick of speech that the film seems drugged, almost on life support. No amount of razor-edged cutting and thousands of rounds of ammunition can hide the fact that this film's script, direction, and acting are from hunger. What a sad spectacle for someone who once commanded A-list budgets and ranked among the top ten box-office stars. Driven to Kill is one dire movie.
On the day of his daughter's (Laura Mennell) wedding to the son (Dmitry Chepovetsky) of a Russian mob boss (Igor Jijikine), former Russian mobster-turned-pulp novelist Ruslan Drachev (Steven Seagal) learns that his ex-wife (Inna Korobkina) and his daughter have been victims of a home invasion with the ex-wife killed and the daughter seriously injured. The motive seems unclear until we learn that the mobster's son had refused to join the mob, and his father had done this partly to bring his son in line. Ruslan's ex-wife's new husband Terry (Robert Wisden) also seems strangely unmoved by the events of the day, so Ruslan makes it his job to get to the bottom of the plot against his ex-wife and daughter and bring his kind of justice to those who deserve it.
Yes, the predictable ebb and flow of this trite stalk and revenge story (script by Mark James) leaves no room for surprise revelations or unusual twists and turns. It's paint-by-the-numbers filmmaking without a brain in its head or an ounce of originality in its soul. We know Seagal's taciturn former mobster is going to clean house with a combination of bare knuckle brawling and martial arts, expert knife handling, and with multiple sprays of machine gun and automatic firepower (though one must quickly add that Seagal's Ruslan is a lousy shot; all that fired ammunition, and there are still bad guys standing at the end that he must settle the score with through other means). There is a lot of trash talk back and forth with these Russians about being "a real man," and I predicted when the final confrontation arrived, it would be with fists, you know, "real man" stuff. I wasn't wrong (though the final coup de grâce does involve a pistol).
Is there any need to discuss the acting? Steven Seagal mutters and mumbles with a vaguely fluctuating Russian accent (that also comes and goes), but he has only his hulking presence to use as a screen weapon. Any speed he's supposed to possess as a badass is now supplied by the film editor who jazzes up his standard arm and feet movement with rapid-fire editing meant to suggest the character's razor-sharp reflexes and split-second timing. Robert Wisden's smarmy new husband comes closest to a characterization, but the script does him no favors. Dmitry Chepovetsky also seems to be trying hard to inject some human emotions into the role of husband-to-be Stephan, determined to thwart his father's efforts to enlist him in the gang lifestyle. He, too, can only do so much with such mundane action and direction.
The film's 1.85:1 theatrical aspect ratio is delivered in a 1080p transfer using the AVC codec. This is among the worst Blu-ray transfers I've seen with varying grain levels and an image that's never better than average in sharpness and sometimes much worse. Color also fluctuates from acceptable to drab, and flesh tones generally drift toward being too brown and hot. Details often get obscured in the shadows. There are also scenes that feature crawling pixels, a definite distraction. The film has been divided into 20 chapters.
The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 sound mix is only stereo in nature with neither music by Peter Allen nor the noisy sound effects ever occupying anything but the front channels. No effort at all has been made to pan the shots through the soundstage resulting in a front centric mix that's a distinct letdown. Dialogue isn't always clearly discernable either, and often I had trouble knowing whether the actors were speaking Russian or simply mumbling indecipherable English. (There are very few subtitles to tip one off as to which language is being spoken.)
Apart from 1080p trailers for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Wrong Turn 3, The Marine II, and 12 Rounds, there are no bonus features.
One of the saddest excuses for an action movie it's been my displeasure to watch in recent months, Driven to Kill is bargain basement filmmaking at its worst. What it's doing on Blu-ray with such a disappointing picture and a mere stereo soundtrack masquerading as a surround track is a much more interesting mystery than anything present on the disc in question.

Guns: is there anything they can't solve? KHOU Houston reports:
The Texas Legislature has approved a bill allowing students with proper licenses to keep guns in their cars on college campuses.
The House and Senate previously passed the proposal by Republican Senator Glenn Hegary. Both chambers on Sunday then approved a version reconciled in conference committee, sending it to Gov. Rick Perry's desk to be signed into law.
The measure sparked some debate in the Senate and passed only after Democrats received assurances it wouldn't be expanded to allow carrying guns on campus. House approval was easier.
Under current law, universities can post a sign prohibiting guns like any private property owner. But the approved measure overrides that.

I have a plethora of BURNHAM ancestors. In order to write this Surname Saturday post I had to review my BURNHAM lineages and count them up. I had estimated that I had half dozen lines from the BURNHAM brothers who immigrated to America in the 1630s. I was wrong. After combing through the family tree I counted up eight Burnham lineages from just two of the three brothers (supposedly brothers - see the note below)!
If you are interested in tangled colonial lines then this post is for you. The tiny town of Essex, Massachusetts (formerly known as the Chebacco Parish of Ipswich) has very few surnames in its lists of vital records. In the 1820 census, there were 43 different surnames in Essex, but the six most common were BURNHAM, ANDREWS, LOW, STORY, CHOATE and COGSWELL, which account for half of the 1820 census. You will see all six of these surnames often in my family tree. This lineage starts in the 1630s and stays in Ipswich and Essex right down to my mother, who was born in Ipswich.
Last Christmas I met David H. Burnham, a trustee of the New England Historic Genealogical society, and also a descendant of the Chebacco Parish (Essex) BURNHAMs. He told me that he was one of a half dozen BURNHAMs in his Essex kindergarten class, and that there was a saying in Essex "If you aren't a BURNHAM or an ANDREWS, there must be a STORY!"
My Burnham genealogy:
Hold onto your hat! There are eight lineages of BURNHAMS here, all ancestors of my maternal grandfather, Stanley Elmer Allen (1904 - 1982):
According to the book The Burnham Family: Or Genealogical Records of the Descendants of the Four Emigrants of the Name, Three Burnham brothers arrived on the ship Angel Gabriel with the other passengers, and made their way to Ipswich (Chebacco Parish) in Massachusetts. Their kinship is not clear.
Generation 1: Speculation: Robert Burnham, born about 1581 in Norwich, England; married Mary Andrews. She was born about 1585 and died about 1635 in Norwich. The three sons who came on the ship Angel Gabriel are John, Thomas and Robert. The captain of the ship was supposed to be their maternal uncle, Captain Robert Andrews. The kinship of the three Burnham men has not been proven to be brothers, but it is clear they were close kin.

She was baptized on 10 April 1625 at St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England, and died 27 March 1715 in Ipswich.
Generation 3: John Burnham, born 1648 and died 12 January 1704 in the Chebacco Parish; married on 6 June 1668 to Elizabeth Wells, daughter of Thomas Wells and Abigail Warner. She was born 31 July 1646 in Ipswich and died 9 June 1731. I descend from three of John's children: John, Thomas and David.

Generation 6: Colonel Joshua Burnham, born 26 January 1754 in Gloucester, Massachusetts, died 7 June 1835 in Milford, New Hampshire; married on 21 January 1779 to Jemima Wyman, daughter of Increase Wyman and Catherine Unknown.
Generation 7: Jemima Burnham, born 9 May 1793 (twin to Thomas Burnham) in Milford, New Hampshire, died 5 August 1868 in South Boston, Massachusetts; married on 22 November 1810 in Boston to Romanus Emerson, son of John Emerson and Katherine Eaton. He was born 1 September 1782 in Townsend, Massachusetts, died 10 October 1852 in South Boston.
Generation 8: George Emerson m. Mary Esther Younger
Generation 9: Mary Katharine Emerson m. George E. Batchelder
Generation 10: Carrie Maude Batchelder m. Joseph Elmer Allen (see above)
Lineage B3:
Generation 4: David Burnham, born 20 October 1688, died 2 February 1770; married on 2 July 1711 to Elizabeth Perkins, daughter of Jacob Perkins and Elizabeth Sparks. She was born 18 March 1691 in Ipswich. I descend from two of their sons, David and Westley.

There are many articles on the Connecticut BURNHAM family (no known relation) in The American Genealogist and The Connecticut Nutmegger, but no one has written about the Essex County BURNHAMs. There are many articles and books on some of the allied families (CHOATE, WALLIS, MARSHALL, COGSWELL, etc.which mention BURNHAM marriages and list the BURNHAM children of these marriages, which is very helpful. The vital records of Ipswich, Essex, Gloucester and Hamilton are very good, but the tendency of the BURNHAMS to recycle first names such as John, Thomas and David make it very confusing.

Important observations from Doug Kass about FinTV:
"By and large, the media have an agenda that is different from yours. It doesn't make them bad guys — their objectives of a growing audience and higher ratings are inherently dissimilar to your objective of making money.
Moreover, as I have recently chronicled, the media's reaction to events of the day (e.g., the sovereign debt crisis, the Presidential election, the fiscal cliff, etc.) is often hyperbolic and simply wrong-footed (from an investment standpoint).
Always remember that they are in the press box, and you are on the playing field."
Too many investors forget this.
It is worthwhile reminder of the Price of Paying Attention [1].

Police looking for missing Wisconsin teen, Breanne Gomez, after police chase, vehicle stolen
Diabetic teen may be headed to California
WELD COUNTY, Colo. - Law enforcement officers across Colorado are on the lookout for a 15-year-old runaway girl from Wisconsin who they say has been involved in a Colorado crime spree involving a police chase and a stolen vehicle.
Breanna Gomez ran away on Monday evening from Eau Claire, Wisc., according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
CBI said Gomez was in a stolen vehicle that was chased Thursday night by Washington and Morgan County authorities.
The stolen vehicle was found abandoned and a minivan was reported stolen in Roggen, Colo.
Authorities have issued an alert for Gomez because she is a diabetic who may have seizures without her medications. Her medications were found in the vehicle that was abandoned.
Gomez is caucasian with black hair. She is 5 feet 6 inches talll and weighs 150 pounds.
Authorities believe she is with her boyfriend, Spencer Linville, 16, and two other teenagers including Blake Bergeron, 18. The third teenager's name was not released.
CBI said the teens are likely in a light blue, Chrysler Town & Country minivan with Colorado license plate 876 WZS.
Gomez's grandfather told 7NEWS that his granddaughter is very diabetic and that she needs her medication.
"She will die if she doesn't have it," Jerry Carpenter told 7NEWS.
Carpenter said he doesn't think Gomez knows anyone in Colorado.
Weld County officials said the group may be heading for Riverside, Calif.
Carpenter said Gomez had recently been released from juvenile detention. He said she was wearing an ankle monitor, but she didn't charge it. Authorities said it stopped transmitting Dec. 18 or 19.
"We love her to death, we just want to help her," said Carpenter.

- Filed Under
Amanda Knox is in Seattle awaiting her third Italian court verdict that is expected today in the 2007 slaying of her British roommate. The first two trials produced flip-flop verdicts of guilty then innocent for Knox and her former Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, and the case has produced harshly clashing versions of events. A Florence appeals panel designated by Italy's supreme court to address issues it raised about the acquittal is set to deliberate Thursday, with a verdict expected later in the day.

SCRANTON, Pa.—A northeastern Pennsylvania woman accused of fatally neglecting her brother is seeking a plea deal with prosecutors.
Lawyers representing Joan Gensiak of Taylor, Lackawanna County, filed paperwork Tuesday to postpone pre-trial hearings because plea negotiations are underway.
Gensiak faces third-degree murder and other charges in the death of her 32-year-old brother Robert Gensiak last March.
Authorities said Robert Gensiak, who had Down syndrome, was shockingly neglected and underfed, weighing just 69 pounds when he died and suffering from open sores and insect bites.
Joan Gensiak's mother Susan Gensiak and sister Rebekah Gensiak also are charged.
Rebekah Gensiak reached a plea deal calling for her to plead guilty to neglect of a dependent person. Other charges were dropped in exchange for her agreement to testify against Joan and Susan.

What comes to mind when you think of comfort food? To some, it might be meatloaf. Still others will say mashed potatoes. And I'll guarantee that mac 'n' cheese is high on a lot of people's list.
Those are just three of nearly 30 foods that Americans picked as their favorite comfort food in a recent survey conducted by about.com.
A number of casseroles also rated high in the survey, and that's not surprising. They are one of my favorite comfort foods, regardless of what the star ingredient is.
Here's a casserole recipe that I fixed recently. It's from Ree Drummond, also known as The Pioneer Woman, who on her website (www.pioneerwoman.com) describes herself as a moderately agoraphobic ranch wife and mother of four.
Ree lives on a working cattle ranch, where she spends her days wrangling children, chipping dried manure from boots, washing jeans and making gravy, and she describes this recipe as one of the all-time greatest "make-before" comfort foods.
Chicken Spaghetti Casserole
2 cups cooked chicken
3 cups dry spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 4½-ounce can sliced mushrooms
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
¼ cup finely diced green pepper
¼ cup finely diced onion
1 4-ounce jar diced pimentos, drained
2 cups reserved chicken broth from pot
1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1/8 to ¼ teaspoon) cayenne pepper
Salt And pepper, to taste
1 cup additional grated sharp Cheddar cheese
Cook 1 cut-up fryer and pick out the meat to make two cups. Cook spaghetti in same chicken broth until al dente. Do not overcook. When spaghetti is cooked, combine with remaining ingredients except additional 1 cup sharp Cheddar.
Place mixture in casserole pan and top with remaining sharp Cheddar. Cover and freeze up to six months, cover and refrigerate up to two days, or bake immediately: 350 degrees for 45 minutes until bubbly. (If the cheese on top starts to get too cooked, cover with foil).
Yield: Serves 8.

FLY, WILLIAM SEAT (1851–1934). William Seat Fly, drover, Democratic leader, and jurist, son of Elijah Madden and Nancy Edmondson (McKie) Fly, was born in Madison County, Mississippi, on October 29, 1851. In November 1855 the family moved to Gonzales County, Texas. In 1869 Fly worked in a hide and tallow factory in Rockport and in 1870 drove a herd of horses to Mississippi, where he studied anatomy and physiology and got some practical experience as a clerk in a drugstore. He changed the course of his study, however, and in October 1873 was admitted to the bar at Gonzales, Texas. He became a prominent lawyer and a leader in the Democratic party; he was one of the electors on the Grover Cleveland ticket in 1888, presided over the state convention in 1890, and was chairman of the convention in 1892. He was appointed associate justice of the Court of Civil Appeals of the Fourth Supreme Judicial District in San Antonio in 1893 and was elected chief justice in 1912. He married Cayloma Pilgrim on November 16, 1876; they had one daughter. Fly died on June 1, 1934.

The home mission: Ireland, England and Wales
As the MSC congregation established itself in Ireland and England, so the decisions made about ministry commitments expressed our understanding of mission.
Our mission, taken from the spirit that we share with our Founder Jules Chevalier, is expressed primarily in the way we try to relate to people – with kindness and compassion. By this we hope to lead them to understand more clearly how Jesus loves and understands them. Our Constitutions remind us that "we want to live like Jesus who loved with a human heart" (CS 10).

An "update" perches atop Mick Stingley's Jan. 20 post in Esquire called "A Straight Man's Guide to HBO's Looking":
UPDATE: We apologize to anyone offended by our attempt at humor in this piece. It reflects one man's viewing experience. He does not think all gay people are boring. Just this show, a little.
Stingley's post says the show is a "Hollywood portrayal of gay life as normal, tedious, and bland" that "Makes straight guys seem together and interesting by comparison, though." It continues:
And if this show really takes off, prepare yourselves for a world of boring gay men who blend in and will probably talk to you about last night's game and drink bourbon. Good news for fans of Coldplay, though: The 40-Year-Old Virgin stigma will soon be replaced by Looking. You know how I know you're gay? You're boring.
Stingley's "attempt at humor" is "deeply typical of the sort of work produced by straight men who walk into unfamiliar rooms and, rather than listening and seeking to learn, reframe the entire conversation around their own experience and limited worldview," Daniel D'Addario writes in Salon.
Still, the "update" apology is better than the type Esquire usually manages. Last September, for instance, after Esquire ran Richard Drew's famous photo of a man falling from a World Trade Center tower on Sept. 11, 2001 next to the headline "Making Your Morning Commute More Stylish, "it told people who were offended, "Relax, everybody."
And Esquire had to correct a piece laying into a critic of one story after it turned out she was correct about some information missing from the online version of the piece. The apology was somewhat less than full-throated.

Gorman: Steelers fall short of standard
TribLIVE Sports Videos
In a locker room with too many spokesmen but too few leaders, defensive backs Ryan Clark and Ike Taylor vented this week on the state of the Steelers and the consistency of the media that covers them.
"I'm not going to say it's unfair," Clark said, "but it's just been wrong."
To justify that stance, Clark logged a ridiculous complaint by comparing the coverage in Pittsburgh to that in Philadelphia, where the fans once booed Santa Claus and the media is often just as merciless.
"You watch the Eagles, you watch the big plays given up, and I started checking other media outlets and you don't hear the things about them in their media that you hear about us," Clark said. "So, either we're held to higher standards, or the people that write about us are turds."
What a load of crap.
No question the Steelers are held to higher standards. At last check, the Eagles never have won a Super Bowl, let alone six. That comes as much from within the Steelers' organization as it does outside it. As Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says, the standard is the standard. The expectation of Super Bowl or bust is what has separated the Steelers from the rest of the NFL.
So, 6-7 isn't satisfactory, especially when your soft-serve schedule includes losses to Kansas City, Oakland and Cleveland — teams with a combined 9-30 record — in an 18-day span with the season on the line.
Taylor topped Clark in the absurd analogy department, not once but twice:
"We just don't understand how the national media don't bash us, but our local media do."
Unlike the Steelers, who seem to have a lot to say about their problems but no ability to offer solutions, there's a simple answer to that.
On a national scale, the Steelers are no longer relevant. Not when the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints were undefeated and on a collision course for the first Super Bowl between undefeated teams in NFL history when Clark and Taylor waged a world-is-against-us war of words.
"We feel like if y'all are going to write something, state facts, don't state opinions."
What Taylor doesn't get is that shaping public opinion is the media's job, which is why we pointed out last year the short-yardage shortcomings of the offensive line, that Ben Roethlisberger held the ball too long and took too many sacks, and that the secondary sometimes got scorched.
Even so, we'll stick to the facts.
The Steelers went 12-4 last season, winning six games by seven points or fewer and losing two by the same margin. Four victories — Cleveland, Baltimore, San Diego and Dallas — were decided by defensive turnovers.
Truth is, the Steelers easily could have been in this situation last year. They lost to Philadelphia, the New York Giants, Indianapolis and Tennessee in the regular season but didn't have to face any of them in the postseason. The Steelers also needed two of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history to beat the Arizona Cardinals, who had finished the regular season 9-7.
And that was with Troy Polamalu and Aaron Smith both healthy.
This season, the Steelers have lost seven games by seven points or fewer and won another by a field goal. It's more of the same as last season: The secondary is getting scorched for fourth-quarter touchdowns. The patchwork line is so ineffective in short yardage that the Steelers went to the shotgun on a third-and-1 against the worst defense in the NFL. And Roethlisberger continues to hold onto the ball too long and still takes too many sacks.
The only difference is, the special teams have been a disaster.
There's a thin line between 8-8, which was the Steelers' record the year after their previous Super Bowl championship and, perhaps, the best they can expect from this season. One in which they have fallen short of the standard.
To say otherwise wouldn't be unfair.
It would just be wrong.

Two homeless men, who were caught on a surveillance monitor at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center taking a woman's handbag, have been charged with theft.
Authorities charged Kalani Faumuina, 18; and Jezdon Meyers, 21; with second-degree theft on Tuesday. Bail was set at $11,000 for each suspect.
Center security personnel witnessed two men taking a handbag belonging to a woman who had gone swimming at a beach near the shopping center Monday morning. They detained both suspects and called police.
The handbag was recovered and the suspects, neither of whom has a local address, were arrested on suspicion of second-degree theft.

In a decision that could have major implications for the future of Internet commerce, the U.S. Supreme Court opened the door on May 16 for the direct sale of wine across the nation.
A toast (or three) was raised at Zachy's, the New York-based retail wine merchant (see "Wine Sellers," April 2005). CEO Don Zacharia helped fund the lawsuit.
The ruling, in effect, invalidated the laws governing wine sales in 21 states. Some had allowed in-state wineries to sell directly to consumers while forbidding out-of-state wineries to do so. Others had "reciprocity" laws that permitted direct sales only from wineries in states that permitted out-of-state direct shipments.
The Court ruled that state wine laws of this kind engaged in a form of protectionism forbidden by the Constitution. The justices let stand the more restrictive laws of the 15 states that prohibit direct shipments, whether from in-state or out-of-state wineries. Still, given that direct sale of wine to consumers already is estimated at $300 million annually, the Court's decision is sure to have a major impact on the industry. Liquor wholesalers are widely seen as the big losers in the decision.

Tommie Turvey, who trained the Clydesdales for the number one Super Bowl commercial on Sunday, will be in Harrisburg from Thursday, Feb. 21, to Sunday, Feb. 24, for the 11th Annual Pennsylvania Horse World Expo.
Leading equestrian clinicians and entertainers and thousands of horse owners will gather at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center for the expo, which features education, entertainment and shopping.
Turvey and his horses will perform Friday and Saturday evening as part of Theatre Equus, a musical equine revue.
The show is professionally choreographed and scripted, with humans and horses performing together.
Turvey, a trick trainer, movie trainer, and stuntman will have been teaching his horses to do tricks such as lying relaxed on their backs with their feet in the air.
Some of the horses he will have at the show in Harrisburg are American Paint horses, and a mustang named Blade, who was wild until Turvey began working with him when he was 5 years old, said Stephanie Shertzer Lawson, a spokeswoman for the Horse World Expo.
Blade appeared in an opening sequence for the first episode of The Walking Dead, when he got eaten by zombies, said Lawson. The horse has also appeared in several other movies, she said.
"It is amazing that he had taken a horse that was completely wild and unhandled until 5 years old and now it will do anything he wants it to," Lawson said.
Turvey has been coming to the Horse World Expo in Harrisburg for the past five years and is one of the most popular trainers, she said.
Robert Dover, a four time Olympic medalist in dressage, will also be at the expo.
Four off-the-track thoroughbreds will take part in the 100 Day Thoroughbred Challenge. The horses began training on Dec. 1 in Maryland and went to the Maryland Horse World Expo in January.
In Harrisburg, they will be judged in front of an audience, and some will be offered for sale at the end of the 100 days, Lawson said.
"There is a huge problem with unwanted horses, and this is an effort to find new homes for perfectly good thoroughbred race horses that don't make it at the track," said Lawson.
The goal is to get them into a new career, she said.
More than 500 vendors will have booths with horse-related merchandise.
Horsekeeping technology and apparel, barns, artwork, books, equestrian vacations, feed, trailers, tack, training and schools will be featured.
Separate tickets are needed for Theatre Equus on Friday and Saturday evening, and range from $12 to $24 online at www.horseworldexpo.com.
The Pennsylvania Horse World Expo hours are noon to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, February 23, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 24.
Admission to the Horse World Expo is $12 for adults, $6 for children age 7 to 12, and free for children age 6 and under. Tickets can be purchased with cash at the door, or online at www.horseworldexpo.com.

There have been many allegations of child abuse made over the past couple of years against various members of parliament and prominent media figures in Britain. But the media coverage has been minimal. Perhaps their silence is due to big media and the government being potentially implicated in this long running cover up.
Since the iconic British celebrity Jimmy Savile was posthumously uncovered as being a serial pedophile, necrophile and procurer of children in 2013, there have been more and more victims coming out about abuse in the 70s and 80s by figures of power both in politics and the media in Britain. It's likely that the victims hadn't spoken up until recently because they were put under the impression that nobody would believe them — they also feared for their and their families' safety.
From this video you can see that Jimmy's sexual appetite was common knowledge to anybody in the know.… Read the rest

Former Pope John Paul II prays while celebrating Mass in New York's Central Park on Oct. 7, 1995. Pope John Paul II will be made a saint together with the late Pope John XXIII during a double canonization at the Vatican on Sunday. Stephan Savoia
- Filed Under
It has only been nine years since Pope John Paul II died but on Sunday he will be canonized as a saint alongside Pope John XXIII.
As pope from 1978 to 2005, the second-longest-serving pope in history, John Paul II was a visible leader of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church and widely known outside of the church as well.
Jill Luttrell, a parishioner of St. George Catholic Church in St. George and resident of Dammeron Valley, said the well-traveled pope made Catholics across the world feel as if they were united and a vibrant part of the church. ...

CARLSBAD >> If you're having a tough time finding a place to rent, you're not alone. But if you own rental property, Carlsbad is a landlord's heaven.
A booming oil and gas industry has brought a sea of people to the city. With an endless supply of people looking for a place to stay, landlords don't have to search and dig for a tenant. In fact, it's so good, Randy Riley, a landlord of 22 rental units, has not placed a rental ad in years.
"I'm swamped with calls from people daily," Riley said.
But what happens if you don't work in the oil field? Artesia resident Fred Beverage, a teacher at PR Leyva in Carlsbad, knows how hard making the monthly rent can be in Eddy County on a salary that doesn't originate in the patch.
Beverage was offered a job as a wood shop instructor in December 2012. A Carlsbad native, Beverage said in an e-mail that he was eager to return to his hometown. But the search for a livable space proved daunting.
"Needless to say at the time, every rental agency, be it real estate office or apartment, told us there were none," he said in an e-mail. "Or a small 1-bedroom cottage would rent for about $800 a month. At this time, we were renting a three-bedroom, two-bath ranch-style house in Arizona for $650 a month. We even investigated just renting a room from a hotel for the time and putting our stuff in storage. The least expensive long-term hotel rent was over $1,000 a month."
Beverage wrote that he was able to find a place in Artesia, which forced him and his wife to commute during the week to Carlsbad for work. So far, the couple has put 15,000 miles on their vehicle since moving to the area in early 2013. Rent in Artesia is still on the higher end, Beverage said.
"We have continued to look (for rental units) and are very disheartened that when we tell renters that we are teachers in the district, we kind of get the cold shoulder because renters want the oil field workers who can pay a higher rent," Beverage said. "Just two weeks ago, a local apartment complex told us they had a two-year waiting list; however, if we wanted to put the first month's down, we should be able to get into their new addition coming open in the fall. That was over $700 and only for an efficiency-sized apartment not much bigger than what we have."
"We have become so frustrated we have applied in other school districts out of Southeastern NM," he added. "We know we will take a pay cut, however the money we save in fuel and time will offset the loss in pay."
Riley said he has kept his rent prices consistent for his long-term tenants, because finding a valued tenant can be difficult he added. But, he said he knows how some colleagues might be raising rent and taking advantage of the housing shortage, which he doesn't agree with.
"I just don't think that's right," Riley said. "It's just a tough situation. It can really get bad. And they're taking advantage of it and are charging exorbitant fees."
More profit is a good thing for landlords, but Riley said it's harder now to find trustworthy tenants with good personal references or established rental histories.
In addition, Riley can recall a time in the 1980s when a previous oil boom collapsed, leaving him and other Carlsbad landlords in the dark.
"I hope it doesn't happen again," he said.
Future Carlsbad residents might find it a little easier to find a place to rent. The Village at Carlsbad is planning to open up 48 units soon, while the Copperstone Apartments are currently in its third phase to add new units in the fall. But be cautious. You might be put on a five-page waiting list.

Department of Ecology enlists teenagers to clean up litter
February 15, 2012
NEW — 12:15 p.m. Feb. 15, 2012
Issaquah teenagers can join the effort to clean up Washington parks and roadsides soon.
The state Department of Ecology's Northwest Regional Office in Bellevue plans to hire about 72 teenagers to help clean up area roadsides, parks and recreation areas during the summer. Ecology Youth Corps members also learn how to better care for the environment through the program.
Youths ages 14 to 17 can apply through April 10 to work with one of Ecology Youth Corps crews cleaning up litter this summer in King, Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom counties. Crews work Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., in a four-week session.
Sessions run from June 28 through July 25 and again from July 26 through Aug. 21. Participants earn $9.04 per hour.
Teenagers can pick up applications through area school counselors and online.
Dollars for the Ecology Youth Corps program comes from a dedicated fund called the Waste Reduction, Recycling and Model Litter Control Account. The account is funded by a voter-approved tax on items related to the litter problem.
The program has been cut back due to the state's reduced budget. In recent years, litter programs, including the Ecology Youth Corps, lost about a one-third of funding due to the downturn in the economy. The cutback means the agency can hire about 100 fewer youths statewide.
State to release initial 2012 salmon forecast Feb. 28
February 15, 2012
NEW — 12:05 p.m. Feb. 15, 2012
The state Department of Fish and Wildlife plans to announce the forecast for 2012 salmon returns and possible fishing seasons Feb. 28.
The annual forecast announcement is the initial indicator of salmon returns to the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery along Issaquah Creek.
The agency invited anglers, commercial fishers and others interested in salmon fisheries to the public meeting at the Natural Resources Building, 1111 Washington St. S.E., Olympia. The meeting runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
To launch the salmon season setting process, Department of Fish and Wildlife officials present initial forecasts — compiled by state and tribal biologists — of projected returns. Meeting attendees can talk to fishery managers about the pre-season forecasts, and participate in work sessions focusing on possible salmon fisheries and conservation issues.
The state also scheduled additional public meetings focusing on regional salmon issues through early April. The public review of preseason forecasts marks the start of the North of Falcon process. The effort brings together state, tribal and federal fishery managers to establish salmon seasons for Puget Sound, Columbia River and the Washington coast.
The process is held in conjunction with public meetings conducted by the Pacific Fishery Management Council — the organization responsible for establishing fishing seasons in ocean water off the Pacific coast.
The final adoption of 2012 salmon fisheries is scheduled for April 6 at a Pacific Fishery Management Council meeting in Seattle.
Officials consider plastic bag ban for Issaquah
February 14, 2012
Officials intend to use Seattle ordinance as model
Canvas bags could turn into a more common sight in Issaquah checkout lanes soon.
The city is poised to join Bellingham, Edmonds, Mukilteo and Seattle to ban plastic bags at local retailers — to limit garbage headed for the King County landfill and reduce pollution in Puget Sound.
Though a decision on a plastic bag ban is months distant, the Council Utilities, Technology & Environment Committee plans to start collecting input from businesses owners and residents Feb. 16.
"To me, the beauty of it is, you get to your end objective, which is getting rid of plastic bags, and you're not putting an undue, negative impact on the businesses in your community," said Councilman Mark Mullet, a local merchant and the committee chairman.
Governor signs same-sex marriage bill with local legislators' support
February 14, 2012
Issaquah legislators joined Gov. Chris Gregoire to legalize same-sex marriage in Washington — a decision supporters hailed as an "historic" milestone.
The governor, a Democrat, signed the legislation Feb. 13 as local state Sen. Cheryl Pflug and other supporters looked on from the packed State Reception Room at the Capitol.
The landmark legislation put Washington among the half-dozen states and Washington, D.C., to allow same-sex marriage, but the measure could face a challenge on the November ballot before any weddings occur.
"It is a day historians will mark as a milestone for equal rights — a day when we did what was right, we did what was just, and we did what was fair," Gregoire said. "We stood up for equality and we did it together — Republicans and Democrats, gay and straight, young and old, and a variety of religious faiths. I'm proud of who and what we are in this state."
The legislation cleared the state House of Representatives in a 55-43 decision Feb. 8 — the last hurdle before the measure reached the governor. Republican Glenn Anderson joined local Democrats in the House to approve a landmark bill to legalize same-sex marriage.
Norovirus is to blame for cheerleader illnesses
February 14, 2012
Tests done at the state Public Health Laboratories revealed norovirus caused hundreds of students to become ill during and after a Feb. 4 cheerleading competition held at Comcast Arena in Everett.
At least eight Skyline High School cheerleaders were among those sickened, according to Sara Niegowski, executive director of communications for the Issaquah School District. Skyline Principal Lisa Hechtman also became ill after attending the event, as did one assistant coach.
As of Feb. 10, the students and staff were all doing better, according to Niegowski, who said the Skyline squad was slated to take part in a follow-up competition the weekend of Feb. 11-12.
Prosecutors: Preston man masturbated at coffee stand
February 14, 2012
Prosecutors said a 31-year-old man attempted to break into a Northwest Gilman Boulevard coffee stand and then masturbated outside as terrified employees called police.
Preston resident Samuel K. McDonough faces a felony indecent exposure charge for the Feb. 2 incident. Police also arrested McDonough for indecent exposure in 2006, 2008 and last year.
Prosecutors said the latest incident occurred at about 8:30 a.m. at the BigFoot Java stand, 736 N.W. Gilman Blvd. The two female employees said McDonough purchased a drink and then asked to use the restroom inside the drive-thru coffee stand, court documents state.
The women refused to allow the man to enter. Then, he sat outside and started blowing kisses at the employees.
McDonough then sat outside the stand and started masturbating, court documents continue. Prosecutors said one employee noticed the man sitting on a chair outside and staring inside the stand during the incident.
Executive emphasizes partnerships, prosperity in State of the County address
February 14, 2012
King County is akin to the Oakland A's depicted in the film "Moneyball" — nimble and unconventional — County Executive Dow Constantine declared Feb. 6.
Constantine, in the annual State of the County address, used the baseball team to illustrate a recent effort to streamline county government.
"The county used to be a little like the New York Yankees. Its first response to a problem was to throw money at it," he said. "Now we're more like the 2002 Oakland A's depicted in 'Moneyball' — smart and scrappy. Finding inefficiencies in the established system — seeking out the highest performance at the lowest-possible cost. Getting the best value."
The top elected official in the county emphasized partnerships and prosperity as steps to reshape local government. Some changes resulted from a performance-based management program modeled on a system at Toyota.
"The state of county government can be found in this simple fact: King County is back on sound financial footing," he said.
Officials did not need to make deep cuts to services last year in order to craft a 2012 budget.
City creates commission to attract, retain businesses
February 14, 2012
City leaders continued the latest push to bolster economic development Feb. 6 and created a municipal Economic Vitality Commission — another piece in the effort to attract entrepreneurs to Issaquah and retain existing businesses.
City Council members formed the commission to handle a marketing plan to attract businesses, consider opportunities to improve signage options for merchants, review municipal permitting and inspection processes, and produce annual report cards on strategies recommended in the 2005 Economic Vitality Plan. The commission is expected to offer regular updates to the mayor and council.
The idea for a commission stems from a goal council members set at a May 2011 retreat to outline priorities for 2012.
Issaquah residents invited to legislative town hall
February 14, 2012
Residents can join Issaquah legislators to discuss the ongoing session in Olympia at town hall meetings in Mercer Island and Newcastle soon.
Meet state Sen. Steve Litzow and state Reps. Judy Clibborn and Marcie Maxwell — 41st Legislative District lawmakers — at the Feb. 18 meetings. The sessions come as the Legislature confronts a $1.5 billion shortfall in the state budget.
The bipartisan delegation — Republican Litzow; Democrats Clibborn and Maxwell — plans to answer participants' questions.
The morning meeting is scheduled from 10-11:30 a.m. at Hazelwood Elementary School, 7100 116th Ave. S.E., Newcastle. The afternoon session is planned from 1:30-3 p.m. at Mercer Island High School, 9100 S.E. 42nd St., Mercer Island.
Participants can submit questions before the meeting. Email questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail them to Sen. Steve Litzow, P.O. Box 40441, Olympia, WA 98504.
Washington State Redistricting Commission members shifted the 41st District from encompassing Cougar Mountain neighborhoods to include North Issaquah and Sammamish. (Remaining Issaquah neighborhoods fall inside the 5th Legislative District.)
The realigned political maps go into effect for the November election.
Issaquah residents escape car collision unharmed
February 14, 2012
Issaquah residents survived a wrong-way collision Feb. 12 on state Route 18 near the Cedar River.
Washington State Patrol investigators said a Honda Civic coupe headed westbound in the eastbound lanes from 244th Avenue Southeast to the Cedar River Bridge as a Chevrolet Impala and a Toyota Tacoma approached in the eastbound lanes. Troopers said the Honda struck the Chevrolet, rotating the vehicle into the Toyota. The incident occurred at 12:38 a.m.
Medics treated and released the driver of the Honda, a 24-year-old Kent man. Investigators said alcohol or drugs contributed to the crash. Police later booked the man into the King County Jail for driving while intoxicated. He remained in jail on $500 bond at noon Feb. 13.
The occupants in the Chevrolet, a 42-year-old North Bend man and a 41-year-old North Bend woman, did not sustain any injuries. The occupants in the Toyota, a 42-year-old Issaquah man and a 42-year-old Issaquah woman, also escaped unharmed.
Police said everyone involved in the crash was wearing seatbelts.

That department store song that you can't get out of your head says, "It's the most wonderful time of the year."
For some people, I guess that's true. But for others, it brings back memories of The Worst Christmas Present Ever.
He thought:
--It was a good gag.
--She could use it in the fireplace to keep the Yule log burning.
She thought:
--This is not remotely funny.
--Where is the real gift?
Unfortunately for my father, the large bag of coal was the real gift.
The coal is the Lousy Present Story that will not die. Decades later without fail at Christmastime there's eye-rolling family recollections about this contender for the Gift Giving Hall of Shame.
But ask around and you'll discover that there are so many other This Gift Stinks medalists.
Laura Vessey, of Plainsboro, N.J., will never forget the year she got a beautiful leather handbag from a dear friend who had purchased it on a trip out west.
"As I was ooohing and ahhhing over the gift," Vessey recalls, "I opened it up and found she had stored her dirty underwear and socks from the trip in my new bag."
The friend was right there for the discovery. "She was mortified — but it quickly turned into one of the funniest stories that we have shared over the years."
Also in the ick factor category is this story from Maya, of Santa Barbara, Calif. (Many recipients asked that their last names not be used to protect the hapless givers.)
Maya had asked for a stress-reliever but got the opposite. "I wanted one of those pedicure, relaxing foot baths for Christmas," she says. "I received a used one!"
"I promptly threw it away. That isn't something to be re-gifted and it was very obvious at that."
These gifts take the (fruit)cake
Some really bad gifts, plus tips to avoid giving the worst presents ever.

The Pancake Rocks are a heavily-eroded limestone area where the sea bursts though a number of vertical blowholes during high tides, creating a kind of geyser effect.
Together with the "pancake" layering of the limestone — created by immense pressure on alternating hard and soft layers of marine creatures and plant sediments — it makes for a very strange and beautiful environment.
The coastal promontory of the Pancake Rocks is looped by an easy walking track — 15 minutes, or as long as you want to take to stare into the fascinating surge pool at the point (known as the Devil's Cauldron), catch the blowholes in action, or enjoy the sweeping views down the Paparoa National Park coastline.
