Pardee Homes' communities are designed to be environmentally responsible and family friendly. From our earliest days, Pardee Homes developed communities that were near shopping, schools and business centers, saving families time, energy and money in commute times. And we were one of the first homebuilders to create master-planned communities where parks, trails, pools and recreation centers were part of the fabric of the neighborhood.
Our enlightened approach to land planning includes the creation of "natural" slopes planted to minimize water use and support the native eco-system. When building homes, we minimize waste by ordering pre-cut wood and other materials for our job sites and recycle most of what construction waste there is. Finally, our new stucco system insulates and protects each home in a multi-layered "blanket," further reducing energy consumption.
Many Pardee Homes communities include:

Baby loves this calorie-dense baby food
Posted by Reviewer2398514 on May 27, 2013
This is the only beef baby food our little one likes. It provides a higher amount of calories per jar than most 4.0 oz baby foods. It has a wider range of ingredients than the normal stage 2 foods: carrots, ground beef, spinach, garbanzo bean flour, tomato paste, and wheat flour. The best part is that it is completely organic, so we won't have to be concerned about the potentially adverse effects of the modern food supply on our child. We've used Earth's Best baby food almost exclusively since our little one began to eat solid food, and we're pleased with the results so far.

SMART (Smart Monitoring and Rebooting Tool)
Listing 2. sudo Configured for SMART Access
# Defaults specification Defaults:root !syslog # User privilege specification root ALL=(ALL) ALL sysman server=(root) NOPASSWD: /home/sysman/check-service sysman server=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot
This way, we disable syslog logging when sudo is executed by user root, and we assign root privileges to user sysman, at the host server, only for the execution of commands /home/sysman/check-service and /sbin/reboot, without asking sysman for the password every time.
Through the PID file defined in the configuration file, we obtain the parent process identifier (PID), and we determine the number of active processes generated by this service. Next we check whether:
The service is responding to petitions within the defined time period.
The number of processes generated by the service doesn't exceed the maximum and minimum defined thresholds.
Considering the results obtained in former verifications, we classify the service status:
0: service is responding to requests within the defined time period, the number of processes generated by service remains between the defined thresholds, and the information provided by the PID file is correct.
1: service is responding to requests within the defined time period and the number of processes generated by service remains between the defined thresholds, but either the information provided by the PID file is incorrect or this file doesn't exist, even though it has been defined.
2: service is responding to requests within the defined time period, but the number of processes generated by the service is beyond the defined thresholds (this could be the case of an overloaded but operative Web server).
3: the number of generated processes is out of thresholds, and we don't have any tool (script) to check whether the service is operative (this could be the case of processes such as syslogd, crond and xinetd).
4: service is not responding to requests within the defined time period.
We group the above five situations in three more general cases:
OK (status 0 and 1).
WARN (status 2).
DOWN (status 3 and 4).
When executing the program with no parameters, it simply will determine the status of services defined in the configuration file and will display the results. If we want the program to work in an active way, we need to use some of the following parameters:
-w: restart services in WARN status and send a notification (e-mail) for each one of them.
-d: restart services in DOWN status and send a notification for each one of them.
-wd: restart services in WARN and DOWN status and send a notification for each one of them.
--all: restart all services independently of their status and send a notification for each service with WARN or DOWN status.
--reboot: restart the whole system independently of service's status and send a general notification.
Once the service status has been determined, and according to the parameter specified in the execution, the action carried out for each service will consist of that shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Service Actions
|Restart the service
|-w, -wd, --all
|Restart the service
|Send a notification relating to service
|Send a notification relating to service
|-d, -wd, --all
|Restart the service
|Send a notification relating to service
Furthermore, independently of the service's status, with the parameters --all and --reboot, a notification via e-mail is sent to the administrator about the performed action.
Listing 3 shows a sample of SMART in action, executed from a console with parameter -d (recovery of services in DOWN status).

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

Apparently you got some bad information. since the iPad is a school owned device, you should probably ask them what to do because that is some kind of profile that is set up on the device that only they can deal with - or so it seems to me.

You'll have to take it in and have them allow that...because right now it has 'Administrative Rights' which were set by the computer used to set the device up...that computer had administer rights and did not give them to the user of the iPad.
The only other option would be to restore the device:
But that will erase everything else on it, and since it's not on your library your won't be able to put it back on.

Mychael Anthony
This natural entertainer grew up in St. Peter, MO., just west of St. Louis. "IT" all started
in preschool. Full of energy and wit, his teachers gave him time in the early afternoons
to entertain his classmates in order to minimize his comedic exploits during class time.
Michael did dance routines, mimicking Michael Jackson, and was a natural for leading
roles in school plays. He just loved to be the center of attention so he could entertain
everyone and make them smile.
Michael Anthony continued to act in plays throughout elementary school, high school,
and college. His roles include everything from dramatic historic plays to gut-busting
comedies. At times, he would juggle appearances in two different plays simultaneously.
After graduating high school, he put his entertainment career on hold in order to pursue
a college education from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The acting bug forced
Michael Anthony to take classes at COCA and The Muny, two of St. Louis's well known
performance venues.
He entered into a profitable entertainment venture when he began performing, writing
lyrics, rapping, and co-managing the group, KRT (Knights of the Round Table).
Michael's natural passion for writing led him to co-write songs used in sports highlights
for both the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Rams. He and KRT performed songs
live in the studio of News Channel 5's "Sports Plus" in 2006 and 2007. In 2005, Michael
won the Midwest Market Addy Award for writing a commercial for 'Slackers', a music
and video game store in Missouri. After writing two locally respected albums, Michael
returned to his main passion and directed his talents to writing sketches, scripts, and
material that keep the audience laughing and smiling.
Michael Anthony's natural passion for entertaining, mixed with his experiences in
writing and acting, led him to pursue stand up comedy. His timing & observations on
current events quickly made him a favorite at local comedy clubs. Within months of
Michael's initial pursuit of comedy, he was already getting paid to perform and even
asked to do shows with Guy Torry and Paul Mooney.
Michael is now ready for the next chapter in his life as an entertainer. He is passionate
about providing quality entertainment for his audience, and has built upon his prior
experiences in order to know the best way to do so. Michael's experiences are diverse,
and his passions are many. He has always put all of himself into every creative project he
has ever been involved with, and will continue to do so, so long as there are still people
out there that Michael can make laugh and smile.
The open mic sign up is from 5:30pm to 5:40pm and the show starts at 5:45pm. Everyone writes their name on a slip of paper and throws it into a bucket, at 5:45pm the host will grab the bucket, walk on stage, and start the show. Comics are drawn directly from the bucket so anyone has the chance to perform!
If you're selected it's a TIGHT 3 minute set, that means you get blasted off with music right at the 3 minute mark so come prepared.
It's a NO COVER, NO MINIMUM PURCHASE show, so come out and enjoy an evening of randomness!

Additional Complaint Information
BBB files indicate a pattern of complaints concerning the company's sales practices. Consumers are telling BBB about the excessive number of calls received from MPower Energy LLC sales representatives when trying to sign them up for services. Some consumers claim the calls and solicitations continue despite requests to the company be put on their do-not-contact list. Other consumers claim issues with promised savings for switching to MPower. Several consumers say they were assured by MPower sales representatives that signing up with the company would save them money on their utility bills.

BBB has contacted the company about the aforementioned issues. The company has responded and reported that they are working on implementing additional measures to increase disclosure and understanding about rate policies and savings potential, as well as improve customer satisfaction.

Overall, a second constitutional convention is worth serious consideration.
Term limits should be first on the list of proposed amendments.
And the far right would implement a state religion and disenfranchise all
others, would roll back civil rights gains, would institute a form of sharia
law, would allow the poor and hungry to starve in the streets, would bring back
prohibition... More..

I've changed fuel pump and fuel pump relay, still doesn't start sometimes! And like now, it won't start at all! I was told that the computer was the only other alternative! You can hear the pump come on and it always starts, but when you don't hear it come on, you know it will not, may be 10 minutes or days before it will start up! Thank you for your time and help.

Broadcasters and producers, program creators and filmmakers, station personnel, and post-production house staff worldwide convened once again at a warm and sunny desert location with palm tree-lined thoroughfares. NAB? Las Vegas? No, actually it was the annual Technology Retreat hosted by the Hollywood Post Alliance (HPA). This year's three-day gathering, actually four when you include the very presentation-full preday, was held in February at the Rancho Las Palmas Resort in Rancho Mirage, CA. This was the sixteenth year for the tech retreat, and like a fine wine, it just keeps improving with age.
HPA applies an interesting organizational approach to its three days of total technology immersion. The day starts early with breakfast roundtables, where you can join in a lively discussion on the particular topic of your choice. Approximately 20 topics or more are offered each morning, and this year included many wide-ranging discussions, such as stereoscopic full HD 3-D to the home, file-based workflow, mobile TV and archiving in a post-videotape world, to name just a few.
Each day's roundtable breakfast was followed by presentations and panels. These presentations were mainly technology-oriented, but sprinkled in were interesting nontechnical sessions that included reports on the CES Show and consumer electronics trends, as well as FCC and legislative updates.
The presentations and panels offered something for everyone. Topics covered of specific interest to broadcasters included mobile TV and audio loudness issues. There was even a broadcaster panel session. For the film-oriented, there was everything from the latest 3-D shooting techniques to restoration of nitrate-based film classics, such as the 1928 debut of Mickey Mouse in "Steamboat Willy." The post-production community enjoyed technology updates on a number of subjects, including file-based workflows and collaborative networking techniques.
During session breaks and evenings, more than 50 technology demonstrations were conducted by almost as many companies. The most appealing thing about these exhibits is the HPA proscription against the space being used trade-show style for blatant selling activity. Participating companies were required to maintain the spirit of this being a technology retreat by truly limiting their presentation space to the demonstration of new technologies and techniques.
Attendance this year was up 10 percent over last year. In addition to the production, post and film communities, this year's attendees included satellite and cable programmers, as well as representatives from ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and PBS. Attendees were from Europe, Asia and the United States and also included representatives from major industry standards bodies such as SMPTE, NAB and EBU.
The Hollywood Post Alliance Technology Retreat is becoming the go-to event. Next year's event is scheduled for Feb. 15-18 and will be once again held at the Rancho Las Palmas Resort. Mark your calendar. It's already on mine.

The Tipton County SheriffÔÇÖs Office conducted saturations, DUI enforcements and bar checks over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Extra enforcement was put on the roadways in order to have a more visible officer presence to help ensure safer roadways for our citizens and visitors alike during peak times when vehicular travel is at its highest during the holiday. ┬á
During the operations, officers issued 41 tickets and warnings. Tickets were issued for violations including: Speeding, Reckless Driving, Seatbelt, Child Restraint, Registration Violations, Tint Violations, Equipment Violations, Disregarding Stop Sign, Light Law, Drivers License Violations and No Insurance.  Nine arrests were made during the operation on various charges as well. Arrested during the operation were:
1.Tiffany N. Freeman (21) 525 Oakland Hils Drv. Oakland, TNÔÇŽPossession of Marijuana
2.Allison P. Carroll (42) 1284 Leighs Chapel Rd. CovingtonÔÇŽDUI 1st and Improper Registration
3.Laventrice Puryear (28) 126 Justin Cve. CovingtonÔÇŽRevoked/Suspended DL, No Insurance, Light Law violation and Tint violation
4. Terry Holland (43) 1509 Michael St. CovingtonÔÇŽOpen Container, Revoked DL, No Insurance and No Seatbelt
5. Mark Bryan (26) 9285 Blakeview Rosemark, TNÔÇŽRevoked/Suspended DL, Light Law and No Insurance
6. Glen McCool (23) 1535 Tipton Rd. MunfordÔÇŽRevoked/Suspended DL, No Insurance, Reckelss Driving
7. Tanya Maxwell (32) 148 Village Drv. CovingtonÔÇŽRevoked/Suspended DL, Light Law
8. Arthur Hughlett (48) 513 Peete St. CovingtonÔÇŽPublic Intox and Pedestrian in Roadway
9. Samuel Y. Jackson (30) 315 N. College St. CovingtonÔÇŽFugitive for Possession of Controlled Substance
ÔÇťThanksgivingÔÇŁ is a time that a large number of citizens and visitors to our county are out on our roadways traveling to be with family and friends.┬á I feel that it is crucial we ÔÇťstep upÔÇŁ our visibility and enforcement efforts whenever we know there will be a larger number of drivers on our roadways. Unfortunately, a number of these people will make poor decisions and consume alcohol and/or narcotics and attempt to operate their vehicles in celebration of the Holiday.┬á By being visible and aggressive with our efforts it helps to keep the intoxicated drivers off the road and hopefully from any serious injuries resulting from traffic accidents. ┬á
As the Christmas Holiday is quickly approaching the SheriffÔÇÖs Office will be conducting saturations and enforcing traffic laws throughout the county.┬á The concentrations will be those that are Driving Under the Influence (DUI), speeding, and seatbelt usage.┬á The season for holiday shopping results in more drivers on the roadways and by reducing the speed will aid in reducing the number of crashes during the season.ÔÇŁ
These efforts are aided by the GovernorÔÇÖs Highway Safety Office (GHSO) with additional funding that allows us to continue these operations so our roadways remain as safe as possible. Without the assistance from the GHSO many of our operations would not be possible.

Storm fells historic Varina tree
Friday night's ferocious thunderstorm toppled dozens of trees throughout Henrico County, but perhaps none more significant than the one it felled on Route 5 in Varina.
The oak tree that stood for some 150 years there, at the entrance to scenic Tree Hill Farm near the split of New Market Road and Osborne Turnpike, arguably was the most historic tree in the region.
It was known as the Surrender Tree because nearly 150 years ago, beneath its fledgling branches, Richmond Mayor Joseph Mayo surrendered the City of Richmond to Union forces during the Civil War. Six days later, on April 9, 1865, Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia in Appomattox, essentially ending the war.
In the years since, the tree steadily advanced skyward, ultimately sprawling out high above electrical wires and the two-lane road beneath it, rooted to the ground by a trunk that grew to more than four feet in diameter. It presented a grand welcome to visitors at Tree Hill Farm, ushering them along a rolling, gravel-lined path dotted with other stately, if less historic, oaks toward the farm's 237-year-old manor house.
Even as changes came to the 531-acre farm site – which was sold by the Burlee family to developers in 2006 – the tree remained a constant reminder of the site's significance. (Native American artifacts found on the site have led some to conclude that it may have been the home to the Tsenacommacah tribe of Virginia Indians, led by Chief Powahatan, the father of Pocahontas.)
In late 2007, the Henrico Board of Supervisors approved plans for a large-scale mixed-use development on the site, featuring nearly 2,800 housing units, 1.16 million square feet of commercial space and more than 250 acres of green space. Initial plans called for construction to begin by early 2009, but today the site remains untouched, its future put on hold by a faulty economy.
And so for the past six years, the Surrender Tree stood guard over its lonely but breathtaking Varina home, casting long shadows daily as the setting sun disappeared across the James River.
Until June 29, when at last, the Surrender Tree itself surrendered, uprooting itself as it fell across Route 5. It took power crews a number of hours early the next day to clear the tree from the road, which was closed through late morning.
Perhaps it was fitting that the tree's demise occurred on the eve of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Glendale (the fifth of the Seven Days Battles), which occurred just a few miles east in Varina.

In the Stairwell: Bloom! "Painting Partners" Group Show
Nine artists who have been painting together for years are welcoming in spring with a new collection of floral paintings from April 9 to May 21.
The group who call themselves "The Painting Partners" met years ago in a class taught by noted watercolorist Marija McCarthy at the Washington Art Association. After she retired, they continued to paint together weekly at the Litchfield Community Center.
The artists enjoy working alongside one another both socially and academically. "Marija impressed upon us the need to look at our paintings objectively giving positive feedback and also offering careful constructive criticism. At the end of our sessions during critique of work, we are not "easy" in our comments", says one of the artists, Diana Swoyer.
They find the group dynamic comfortable, energizing and unusual. Although their styles vary greatly, they have mutual respect and a common goal: support, while learning and growing artistically.
They continue to paint together not only because they like each other but because they find that the enthusiasm and continued learning environment encourages each of them to paint more often and more deliberately.
"I always go home with an uplifted feeling -- ready to paint some more," says Carol O'Toole, another painter. "I seek out honest criticism from my colleagues and come away with a heightened appreciation of the various approaches among us and a greater understanding of where I need to go with my own work."
"Painting is a solitary endeavor but to find friends to paint with can be very stimulating and helpful. The mutual celebration of each of our talents and abilities is what it is all about," adds Diana.
The artists include Diana Swoyer, Bethlehem; Nancy Rainsford Pistone, Roxbury; Roz Benedetto, Torrington; Jan Grody, Warren; Sandy Dolinsky, West Cornwall; Carol O'Toole, Washington Depot; Maryellen Furse, Warren; Hitchy Rahilly, Northfield; and Kit Sagendorf, Roxbury.
For more information,contact Sharon Morrissey at email@example.com or 860-868-7586.
Next Up in the Stairwell: Botanical WatercolorsWe will have a special show of botanical watercolors by international award-winning artist Betsy Rogers-Knox. Betsy's show, titled "The Beauty of Botany," includes her exhibit shown last February in London titled "Milkweed Through the Seasons" at the Royal Horticultural Botanical Art Show where it won the Silver Gift Award. An opening reception is scheduled for Saturday, May 28 from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m.. The exhibit will be on display from May 28 to July 9 and may be viewed during normal library hours.
Art meets ecology in a series of paintings that dramatizes the intertwining lives of the milkweed and the monarch butterfly whose larvae consume only milkweed leaves. As milkweeds are eliminated by herbicides, land development and climate change, monarch population in the eastern US has diminished by 90% over the past 20 years. "I hope that calling attention to the plight of the milkweed plant and the colorful butterflies dependent on it will help promote the long-term survival for both," says Betsy.
Besides her recent exhibition in London, her work has appeared throughout the U.S. She attended the School of Visual Arts in New York as well as Garland College in Boston and holds a certificate in botanical illustration from the New York Botanical Garden. She has taught botanical illustration at conferences and workshops throughout the country and teaches drawing and watercolor in Bethlehem, CT where she lives.
For more information, visit the artist's website at www.rogersknoxart.com or call 860-868-7586 or email the library circulation desk, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ms. Kleisner has been active in the New Milford area as a music teacher, pianist, accompanist and voice coach. She has enjoyed serving on the Fineline Theatre Arts faculty since its beginning. As a piano teacher, she offers students training in music reading, technique, theory and ear training. She is also a music teacher at the Kent Center School and musical director at the Roxbury Congregational Church. To learn more about Sandy, visit www.finelinetheatrearts.com.

Eating Healthy Presentation
Have you ever found yourself standing befuddled as you faced a grocery store display or puzzling over food labels riddled with fine print and confusing claims? Have you ever wondered which diet is best or what is the healthiest item on a menu? Have you ever thought there just aren't enough hours in the day for healthful cooking and exercising? Michelle Sisk, a registered dietitian-nutritionist and nutritional science teacher at The Gunnery, will help navigate the answers to these questions and more. Ms. Sisk, who will be introduced by local Health Coach, Deb Andrews, will deliver an informative presentation "Finding Food: Amidst the Packaging, Portions, Packed Aisles & Temptations." This program will be held on Thursday, May 5 at 6:30 p.m.
Topics covered will include: food groups to build a healthy plate, portioning without distortion, taking the confusion out of grocery shopping, reading food labels, making the best choices when dining out, choosing whole foods over fad foods, and strategies for finding time to prepare healthful foods and to get moving. We will discuss what is food and what isn't, how much and how often we should eat, which real foods fuel our bodies best, and how to overcome the gimmicks out there. An inclusive, whole foods lifestyle approach will be emphasized. Questions are welcome!
Michelle has worked at Manchester Memorial Hospital in Connecticut, counseling clients on an outpatient basis for nutrition-related issues such as cardiovascular disease, weight management, gastrointestinal disorders, eating disorders, diabetes, and food allergies and intolerances.

Washington Garden Club Lecture
On Thursday, May 12 at 6:30 p.m. Washington Garden Club is sponsoring an appearance by author, journalist and golf historian, David Owen, for a presentation entitled "Golf in the Garden: How the First Commercial Nursery in the South became the Home of the Masters."
A storied tournament and a storied setting, the Masters Golf Tournament is defined by beauty of its plantings. Shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War, a horticulturist and landscape architect named Prosper Julius Alphonse Berckmans planted a double row of magnolia trees along a dirt road leading to an old plantation that he and his father, a Belgian nobleman, had bought the year before. Today, that road is called Magnolia Lane, the main entrance of the Augusta National Golf Club and the home of the Masters golf tournament. Its the most storied driveway in sports.
The Berckmanses introduced 100 varieties of azaleas to the United States. The vast, gnarled wisteria vine which defines the Augusta Nationals clubhouse is said to be one of the first ever planted in this country. The privet hedge that now surrounds much of the clubs property is descended from ten cuttings the Berckmanses imported from France around 1860.
Prosper Berckmans died in 1910. Nevertheless, many of the flowering plants that bloom at Augusta National during Masters week are descended from Berckmans stock. Indeed, since the early 1930s, when the club and the tournament began, Augusta National has been known almost as much for its gardens as for its golf.

Classic Book Discussions: Strong Women, Bad Choices
Kathy Kehoe, Washington CT literary enthusiast, is leading spring book discussions entitled Strong Women, Bad Choices. The discussions scheduled are Persuasion by Jane Austen on Tuesday, April 19 at 4:30 p.m. and Edith Wharton's The Mother's Recompense on Tuesday June 14 at 4:30 p.m.
The discussions celebrate novels by two of classic literature's most revered female authors and explores how two heroines deal with the consequences of their questionable choices.
Jane Austen's heroine Anne Elliot has succumbed to family and social pressures and breaks off her engagement to her beloved naval Captain Wentworth, producing in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret. Persuasion begins eight years later and examines the consequences of Anne's actions.
Edith Wharton's heroine Kate Clephane of The Mother's Recompense has left her husband and baby daughter in New York while she follows her younger lover to Europe, only to be recalled to America by her daughter, now an adult. What Kate learns upon her return to the United States is surprising and heartbreaking. How she deals with this revelation is heroic.
Participants will explore how significant life choices are made and how individuals deal with these choices. This is not a lecture series and participation will be encouraged.
Kathy Kehoe is an avid reader who is an active member of several book groups in the Litchfield area. A former educator and advertising executive, Kathy is thrilled to share her enthusiasm for Austen and Wharton with members of the community. When asked how she is able to belong to multiple book groups, Kathy explains that "insomnia is a reader's best friend!" Kathy led a former Gunn Library book discussion on To Kill a Mockingbird during its 50th anniversary year celebration.

Qualcomm's dual-core Snapdragon S4 and LTE trump the quad-core Tegra 3 in our definitive AT&T HTC One X review!
What more could we possibly say about the HTC One X? After several thousand words in our first HTC One X review (plus more in Alex Dobie's take, plus the countless forum threads), we already know everything there is to know about this phone, right? Right?!?
Not so fast.
As you'll recall, there actually are two versions of the HTC One X. The first, the one we've already reviewed forward and backward, is powered by NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra 3 system and is your standard GSM/HSPA smartphone. The second version is powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 (you'll also hear it referred to as "Krait") and sports an LTE radio for faster data speeds. The latter version is what AT&T's rocking coming May 6, and it's known outside the United States as the HTC One XL.
They're the same phone, right? Really the only difference is that AT&T wanted an LTE version, and Tegra 3 and LTE still aren't ready to play together in prime time, right? Well, yes, and no. Let's just put it this way: One of our chief complaints about smartphones has been addressed here.
That's not to say we won't be making a few compromises with the AT&T One X. But we're also finding ourselves plenty blown away. Read on for our complete AT&T HTC One X review.

Legislature to focus on budget, education as 2013 session startsPublished 10:55am Tuesday, January 8, 2013
It's the legislative season once again.
The year's big topics are already starting to take shape as the Legislature reconvenes at noon today for the 2013 session. As this year is not a bonding year, the state government will be wrapped up other issues, foremost the budget.
"I think our No. 1 priority has to be on balancing the budget," said Sen. Dan Sparks, DFL-Austin. "We need to focus on having a structurally balanced state."
Sparks said the Legislature would need to avoid using economic gimmicks to put off open and honest discussion of the budget.
Rep. Jeanne Poppe, DFL-Austin, agreed the budget would take priority. The budgeting process would require legislators to consider the needs of the state and accurately assess what kind of revenue it needs.
"Local Government Aid will be a topic of discussion for sure," Sparks said, noting how leveling off property taxes was a matter of great importance for many people.
In Austin, LGA funding makes up about 48 percent of the city's general fund, which is about $14.2 million, and the city expects to receive about $7.1 million in 2013, the same amount annually given to Austin since 2010.
Austin Finance Director Tom Dankert said though the state may not feel as much of a need to tinker with LGA — Minnesota faces a $1.1 billion budget shortfall this year, compared to more than $6 billion in 2010 — city officials will still pay a great deal of attention to how state legislators change the LGA formula this session. Legislators and officials from the League of Minnesota Cities have assured Austin officials LGA levels will most likely remain frozen, however.
"I'm assuming that our LGA is going to be the same as it has been for the past couple of years," Dankert said.
Poppe anticipated many issues would come up regarding quality of life questions in the fields of education, health care and housing.
"It will probably be related to education," she said. "How do we pay back the schools and continue to make progress on good education reform and making sure students are getting what they need?"
Sparks said he thought the budget forecast was a step in the right direction for returning borrowed money to the schools.
State finance officials released an updated budget forecast in December, which Minnesota Management and Budget officials said allowed for repayment of $1.3 billion of a total of $2.4 billion owed to school districts around the state in delayed state aid.
Austin Public Schools Superintendent David Krenz stressed the money being paid to the schools was no bonus.
"That's the critical component; that people understand this is not new money," Krenz said. "We had to go out last year and borrow money to pay our bills."
And K-12 funding isn't the only initiative in the field of education. There will likely also be the matter of state funding for higher education, which has been falling behind in support.
With the 2012 election still in recent memory, Poppe said, there's still a high chance the topic of election reform will come up.
"There will still be people that want us to look at the system and try to figure out: Do we have the best system we can in Minnesota?" she said.
Following last year's bonding bill projects, the Austin area has few major projects to address, apart from flood mitigation. In Albert Lea, a high priority for several local entities is to lobby for $7.5 million in state funding for the restoration of Fountain Lake, according to officials with the city of Albert Lea, the Albert Lea-Freeborn County Chamber of Commerce and the Shell Rock River Watershed District.
The efforts follow the watershed district's purchase this fall of a 51-foot dredge, pumps, pipes and other equipment for the project. The entire project is estimated to cost $15 million, including the costs of engineering, permitting and land acquisition. Local officials hope to start the project in 2014.
"It affects so many different things," said Albert Lea City Manager Chad Adams, who noted the effect a restored lake can have on economic development, quality of life and tourism.
As the newly-appointed chair of the Senate's Jobs, Agriculture and Rural Development Committee, Sparks said he plans to bring legislation forward there to help cultivate a good business climate and job growth.
Of course, there are many topics that will capture the Legislature's attention that have yet to arise, in part because any legislator can introduce any bill they choose. Often, it's difficult to forecast what a session will bring, as it takes shape as it goes, Sparks said.

Race for the Whitehouse,
This review is from: Race of a Lifetime: How Obama Won the White House (Hardcover)
Race of a Lifetime is a very well written account of the events leading up to the US Presidential election held in 2008. The two writers have produced a compelling and fast-paced expose of the main candidates and the events and personalities that contributed to possibly the most facinating and, potentially important, political events of recent times. Brilliant.

(Scott Nuzum/Tribune)
The Tigers went 3-2 on the day, beating Jayhawk-Linn, Cherryvale and Class 6A Shawnee Mission West. Their losses were to Louisburg and Webb City, the top two finishers who needed an overtime period to settle things when they faced off for the title.
"We had an awesome day today," Fort Scott head coach David Brown said. "An absolutely awesome day."
(Scott Nuzum/Tribune)
All Louisburg needed to win the championship was to make sure Ewy didn't get pinned. The match might not have had to go to overtime except that Ewy was called for stalling twice, which gave Meister a chance to stay alive.
Even though overtime is sudden death, the rules allow a wrestler the chance to complete a pinning move, so Meister could have still picked up the full six points to tie the dual. The complicated tiebreakers would have then come into play to determine the champion.
Luckily for Louisburg, all Meister could get was a takedown. He won the match but the Wildcats won the tournament.
Jayhawk-Linn, coached by former Brown pupil Brett Kramer, was only able to bring five wrestlers to the tournament and finished 0-5. Individually, the Jayhawks were able to pick up a few victories.
There would be no surprise on the Tigers' part in that veteran wrestlers Denzell Davis and Justin Sharp were each unbeaten on the day. But there were also some pleasant surprises on the part of three freshmen: Tyler Sharp, Victor Hughes and John Metcalf. They combined to win 13 of 15 matches.
Davis and the older Sharp could switch places between 119 pounds and 125 pounds. Saturday, Brown chose to put Davis in the lower weight class. His most impressive win was his first one, where he got a takedown with three seconds left in the match to beat Louisburg's Austin Hood, 4-3. Sharp, meanwhile, recorded pins in each of the three matches he got to wrestle (He received two wins via forfeit.)
"Davis started off with a very good wrestler," Brown said. "Hood is a 112-pound guy wrestling up so he can have a match (instead of winning by forfeit at 112). Justin is working on cutting weight so we can swap them around as strategy calls for."
The younger Sharp wrestles 103 and began his high school career against Louisburg freshman Cullen Hood, who entered the tournament ranked No. 1 in that weight class by the Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association. He won his other four matches, two by forfeit and two by pinfall.
"He's going to be a pretty good 103-pounder," Brown said.
Hughes is listed at 125 pounds on the roster but took on the challenge of wrestling up at 130. He started his high-school career with a 6-0 win over Louisburg's Jacob Herbert. His other three victories came via pinfall.
"He's made a definite impression," Brown said. "He showed he can make some things happen."
Metcalf's success at 160 ought not to be a surprise to Tiger followers. He's the son of assistant coach Alvin Metcalf and his older brother, also named Alvin, was a x-time State qualifier. It may have come as a surprise to his opponents that he was 5-0 with four pins. His first victory was a pin of Louisburg's Chad Turney. He was one of just three Tigers who did not receive at least one forfeit.
"John's not intimidating in terms of his looks and demeanor," Brown says. "But when the whistle blows, he's as aggressive as you're going to find. With him, technique definitely pays off."
Jonathan Hoyle, Dane Cummings, Kenneth Singmaster and Jesse Malveaux all recorded 3-2 records on the day. Michael Durossette was 2-3 while Jacob Gillen and Drew Bryant were both 1-4. Gillen is a freshman who wrestled up one class to 145 to help the team fill as many spots as it could. Bryant was suffering from the lingering effects of an illness that kept him out of school earlier in the week.
The Tigers didn't fill the 112- and 152-pound brackets. They don't have anyone who can fill the 112 slot and Blake Cowen, who normally fills the 152 spot, was attending a music competition.
In terms of the team, Brown felt very good about how the Tigers finished.
"I feel good about what we did with the kids we have and how they've progressed in the three weeks since practice started," Brown said. "I'm looking forward to the progress I think we can show next week at Eudora."

What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot eat away peace,
It cannot destroy confidence,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot shut out memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot reduce eternal life,
It cannot quench the Spirit,
It cannot lessen the power
of the resurrection.
