text: Andrew Cuomo Beleaguered lawmakers enter final weeks of session By Karen DeWitt • May 18, 2015 stgermh / Flickr Listen Listening... / 3:35 The legislature will be finishing up its work in the next couple of weeks with two new legislative leaders; one in his third month, the other in just his second week on the job. Now that the state Senate has stabilized, after weeks of turmoil over corruption charges, legislative leaders and Gov. Andrew Cuomo are looking at what they can reasonably finish with just five weeks left in the session. Education issues once again front and center in Albany By Karen DeWitt • May 15, 2015 Wallyg / via Flickr With just a few weeks left in the legislative session, education issues continue to dominate. Some lawmakers want to fix a recently passed law that requires a fast turn around for new teacher evaluations, while others would like a tax break for donors that would help private schools. Governor Andrew Cuomo has seen much of his ambitious legislative agenda for 2015 stall, as first the Assembly Speaker, and then the Senate Leader, were charged with corruption and had to resign their leadership posts. Utica farm advocates for medical marijuana license, public meetings continue By Tom Magnarelli • May 14, 2015 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News Public meetings began in Utica this week discussing whether residents are comfortable with a local farm applying to grow and dispense medical marijuana in New York. Twelve-year-old Mackensie Kulawy was diagnosed with intractable epilepsy or Doose Syndrome when she was four and has been living with persistent seizures. Julie Kulawy, of New York Mills, is her mother. Cuomo: 'One phone call can change your life' By Karen DeWitt • May 12, 2015 David Shankbone / Flickr Gov. Andrew Cuomo is coping with the breast cancer diagnosis and impending double mastectomy surgery of his long time partner, and cooking show celebrity Sandra Lee. In a statement, Cuomo said he expects to take some personal time off to support her through her treatment. Cuomo plans to bypass state Senate to increase minimum wage for fast food workers By Karen DeWitt • May 8, 2015 Kramchang / Flickr Gov. Andrew Cuomo, at a large union rally in New York City's Union Square to raise the minimum wage, called out fast food chains McDonalds and Burger King by name and accused them of corporate greed for under-paying workers. Cuomo, in an animated speech, says fast food chains make huge profits while relying on taxpayers subsidies, like food stamps, to make up for the low pay they give their workers. The governor says he'll bypass the legislature and create a state board to examine increasing the state's minimum wage for fast food workers. Enough is Enough campaign gains momentum at private universities By Ellen Abbott • May 8, 2015 Ellen Abbott / WRVO News Syracuse University and Cazenovia College have joined the list of private colleges and universities across the state that are supporting the "Enough is Enough" campaign, an initiative of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration. The proposal is meant to push the State University of New York's sexual assault policy into the private sector. Cuomo says charges against Skelos, if true, are "deeply disturbing" By Karen DeWitt • May 7, 2015 Ellen Abbott / WRVO News Listen Listening... / 1:13 Gov. Andrew Cuomo, in his first public comments since the leader of the New York State Senate was charged in an extortion and bribery scheme, says if true, he finds the accusations "disturbing." Cuomo, speaking at an event in Syracuse, commented for the first time since Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos was charged with six counts of public corruption. NY State Senate leader defiantly maintains his innocence By Karen DeWitt • May 6, 2015 Matt Ryan / WMHT Listen Listening... / 3:58 Major newspapers in New York state have posted editorials calling for Senate Leader Dean Skelos to resign after the senator and his son were accused of running a corruption scam. But so far, Skelos is hanging on and Republicans are trying hard to carry on business as usual. Why districts that want pre-K don't apply for NY state grants By Sarah Harris • May 5, 2015 Sarah Harris / NCPR Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said it again and again, universal pre-kindergarten is a big priority. Last year, the legislature approved a $340 million program to increase public, full-day pre-K access. But only one school district in the North Country received the grant for pre-K funding. Canton Elementary School principal Joe McDonough says pre-K isn't just fun. It's essential for kids' development. "People come to school even at the ripe old age of four with a variety of experiences and levels of knowledge and skills," McDonough said. Cuomo criticized for calling meeting on email policy By Ellen Abbott • May 4, 2015 Mixy Lorenzo / Flickr After several weeks of delays, the Cuomo administration's so-called email summit is scheduled for later this month. It's in response to criticism of an administration policy that purges most emails of state employees after 90 days. Syracuse-area state Sen. John DeFrancisco suggests the administration just start saving emails for a longer period of time, and be done with it. New York state attorney general says he's really not running for governor By Karen DeWitt • May 4, 2015 Matt Ryan / New York Now It may be three years until the next statewide election, but potential candidates in New York State are already staking out their positions. Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Attorney General Eric Schneiderman both say they are content with their jobs, and would like to keep them longer. Pre-K all day? Not so fast By Solvejg Wastvedt • May 4, 2015 Solvejg Wastvedt / WSKG News Listen Listening... / 3:41 Gov. Andrew Cuomo calls universal pre-kindergarten one of his big priorities, and last year state lawmakers approved a big grant program to increase full-day pre-K slots. It's $340 million a year for five years. That grant just got approved for its second round, but the first year brought mixed results. Public starts weighing in on central New York's entry in revitalization competition By Tom Magnarelli • May 1, 2015 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News The Central New York Regional Economic Development Council began to gather public input Thursday night on what should be included in its submission to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Upstate Revitalization Initiative. The program is a competition for $1.5 billion in economic aid that will be distributed to three out of seven regions in upstate New York. Rob Simpson, president of Centerstate CEO is also is a co-chairman of the council, said some themes are already developing from the public's input. Cuomo releases blueprint to end AIDS by 2020 By Karen DeWitt • Apr 30, 2015 governorandrewcuomo / Flickr Gov. Andrew Cuomo introduced a blue print for ending the AIDs epidemic in New York by 2020. Speaking before an enthusiastic audience outside the LGBT Community Center in Greenwich Village , Cuomo says it's possible to make AIDS, which has killed an estimated 153,000 New Yorkers, a disease of the past. "Like tuberculosis, and measles and polio," Cuomo said, to applause. The recommendations include better testing and screening and wider distribution of drug treatments. Caucus calls for criminal justice overhaul By Karen DeWitt • Apr 30, 2015 Karen DeWitt / WRVO News The New York State legislature's Black, Hispanic and Asians Caucus is reacting to events in Baltimore and is calling for swift action on a package of criminal justice reforms that have been stalled in the state Senate. The caucus members say they've grown weary of incidents where African Americans die after encounters with police. Assemblyman Michaela Blake represents portions of the Bronx. "Baltimore is happening in the Bronx, " Blake said. "It can happen anywhere." Blake says the young people involved in the riots are not thugs or criminals. State attorney general pleased with expected conclusion of another corruption case By Karen DeWitt • Apr 29, 2015 Ryan Delaney / WRVO News File Photo State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says Assemblyman William Scarborough's expected decision to plead guilty to illegally claiming over $40,000 in travel expenses is "the right thing to do." Schneiderman's office, along with the New York State Comptroller, originally launched the investigation that led to the charges by the U.S. Attorney for New York's Northern district. Mother of Eric Garner meets with Cuomo By Karen DeWitt • Apr 29, 2015 Karen DeWitt / WRVO News The families of people killed in encounters with police met with Gov. Andrew Cuomo Tuesday. They say the governor promised them he would issue an executive order to name a special prosecutor to investigate the deaths of their relatives, but only if the legislature does not approve Cuomo's plan to create an independent monitor to look at such incidents. Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, who died after police on Staten Island put him in a chokehold, says Cuomo gave them time to speak. Senate Democrats push for campaign finance reform By Karen DeWitt • Apr 28, 2015 Karen Dewitt / WRVO News Democrats in the New York State Senate are attempting to close a loophole in the state's campaign finance laws, while a new poll finds New Yorkers want lawmakers to take more steps to quell corruption. Will new teacher evaluations be put off for another year? By Karen DeWitt • Apr 24, 2015 Melinda Shelton / Flickr Listen Listening... / 3:50 Less than a month after it was enacted, Gov. Andrew Cuomo's new teacher evaluation plan seems to be in jeopardy, with the Regents chancellor calling for a year's delay and a key senator saying the legislature needs to revisit the issue. State Senate Republicans meet behind closed doors to discuss leader's legal troubles By Karen DeWitt • Apr 22, 2015 Karen DeWitt / WRVO News File Photo The final stretch of the New York state legislative session began as more accusations arose about potential wrongdoing by top legislative leaders. The session began with a closed door meeting by Senate Republicans, the first time that the majority party members met together since the publication of a New York Times report that says federal prosecutors are investigating Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, and his son, for possible corruption. Teachers union says growing test boycott will impact teacher evaluations By Karen DeWitt • Apr 21, 2015 Karen Dewitt / WRVO News The head of the state's largest teachers union predicts that the legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo will have to revisit new teacher evaluation laws passed as part of the state budget, now that almost one fifth of students have opted out of the tests. New York State United Teacher's President Karen Magee says the boycott of the third through eighth grade English tests by nearly 20 percent of New York's students will undermine the new teacher evaluation system that relies more heavily on the controversial standardized tests. Cloud of corruption hangs over Capitol as state legislature returns By Karen DeWitt • Apr 21, 2015 Karen Dewitt / WRVO News Listen Listening... / 3:43 The New York state legislature returns for the second half of the legislative session, once again under a cloud of corruption, and with numerous unsettled issues. The session begins Tuesday, after the spring break, and this time it's the leader of the Senate who is the focus of a federal corruption probe. State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos confirmed that he's the target of an investigation, after The New York Times reported that U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara has convened a grand jury that is looking into some of the senator's business dealings, as well as those of his son. New York officials throw their support behind Hillary Clinton, NYC Mayor de Blasio hesitates By Jason Smith • Apr 13, 2015 Courtesy Andy Daddio / Colgate University Hours after Hillary Clinton formally announced her campaign for president Sunday, several New York officials and fellow Democrats quickly threw their support behind the former Secretary of State, who also served as U.S. senator from New York from 2001-2009. New Assembly speaker passes first hurdle, more challenges ahead By Karen DeWitt • Apr 6, 2015 NY Assembly Video (file) Listen Listening... / 4:02 The recently completed state budget was the first real test of the new Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie's leadership, who became the leader of that house in early February. By the time the state budget was voted on, Heastie, the 47-year-old accountant and former budget analyst from the Bronx, elected to the Assembly in 2000, had been in his new job for less than two months . Reformers say new ethics law has loopholes By Karen DeWitt • Apr 2, 2015 J. Stephen Conn / Flickr The New York legislature completed an almost on time budget, around 3 a.m. on the first day of the state's fiscal year. One of the final pieces to come together was an ethics reform package, which will provide greater disclosure of lawmaker's outside income. But critics say it does not go far enough. The ethics changes would deny pensions for lawmakers convicted of serious crimes. The provision requires a constitutional amendment. Teachers say Cuomo's reform proposals have hurt governor's relationship with educators By Ellen Abbott • Apr 2, 2015 Ellen Abbott / WRVO News Listen Listening... / 1:26 This budget season in Albany has further eroded the relationship between teachers and Gov. Andrew Cuomo. When Cuomo linked school reform to school spending in this year's budget process, it ratcheted up the rancor from teachers, school districts and some parents across the state. Cuomo says education reforms are part of continual evolution of policy By Ryan Delaney • Apr 1, 2015 governorandrewcuomo / Flickr Gov. Andrew Cuomo is calling the education reforms he was able to get into the just-passed state budget part of an ever-evolving process. In an interview with The Capitol Pressroom, the Democratic governor says change can be traumatic, but it is necessary. Cuomo was able to convince lawmakers to change the teacher evaluation system, putting more emphasis on testing rather than classroom observations. "The only standard metric is going to be the test. The other side, the classroom observations, are going to be different in each classroom," he told host Susan Arbetter. Tax break for yacht buyers draws criticism By Karen DeWitt • Mar 31, 2015 Chris Nelson / via Flickr State lawmakers have not yet finished the budget, but they are already getting blowback from a provision that would give a tax break to owners of luxury yachts. The budget includes a sales tax break for purchases of boats worth more than $230,000, as well as for private airplanes. That angers Ron Deutsch, of Fiscal Policy Institute, a union backed think tank that backs Gov. Andrew Cuomo's plan to give a property tax break for middle and working class homeowners who pay too much of their income on taxes. Did Cuomo overreach in the state budget? By Karen DeWitt • Mar 31, 2015 Governor Andrew Cuomo / Flickr Gov. Andrew Cuomo began the budget season with an ambitious agenda than included a wide array of items that he tied to the budget, including raising the minimum wage, the Dream Act, and reforming the state's grand jury process. In the end, the governor was forced to retrench on nearly every measure. Cuomo spent a week in January rolling out his ambitious budget agenda, which contained plans for a new criminal justice system for teens who commit serious crimes and a major upstate economic development program. Budget framework deal announced By Karen DeWitt • Mar 29, 2015 stgermh / Flickr Listen Listening... / 1:03 Gov. Andrew Cuomo and legislative leaders reached a framework agreement for a budget deal late Sunday night and hope to begin passing bills today to meet the midnight Tuesday deadline. There are still some details to be worked out, including the specific amounts of school aid to each district in the state from a $1.5 billion increase, but Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie says the deal is mostly complete.

Hi Daniele,
Sorry but I am sending this back this week - the changes are 100% fine however you already have CSS in code.css (starting line 100) that your new CSS is overriding.
Really it would be nice to clean up the login page CSS so that we dont' set it in one place and then override it later on in the same theme.
well actually I thought I had to preserve the difference between
.loginbox .loginform .form-label
#page-login-index .loginbox .loginform .form-label
and I was surprised to verify it is useless.
So... thanks Sam.
I modified the branch and all is ready again for testing process.
Thanks Daniele, changes look spot on this time and have been integrated now
Hmmm. Looking at the patch, its only fixed formal_white themes.
Should this new layout take place for the rest of themes? The following themes that I tested are still in old arrangement layout: Nimble, Arialist, Binarius, and FormFactor. It might also effected other themes. Maybe should create new issue to fix the rest of the themes.
Waiting for comment from Sam or Daniele before closing this integration test.
1. my personal opinion is that this issue should be fixed for each theme, so at canvas or base theme level.
2. maybe it is better to contact Mary Evans that is looking after a lot of issues on other themes.
3. regardless to how moodle HQ is going to deal with this issue, please do not stop it too.
MDL-29614 and MDL-26760 already have been stopped and they can only wait without our intervention.
I created new issue to fix the rest of themes (
Therefore, this issue is working great for formal_white.
Test passed.
Many thanks for the hard work developing and testing this. It has been spread to cvs and git upstream repositories.
Closing, ciao

Hey, I'm Jill!
My name is Jill and my husband Jeremy and I and our three kids live in McKinney, TX - a suburb of Dallas. We have a 9 year old daughter and 6 year old identical twin boys. We have been going to Colorado in the winter for years, and recently discovered its beauty in the summer. Our dream was to own a vacation home in the mountains where we could build lasting family memories, and also share out home with other families. Our dream came true this past July 2012. A few days shy of my 34th birthday we found the vacation home of our dreams in Breckenridge, CO. While the home was close to perfect, we made a few slight updates and added our own personal touch. We live too far away to spend a lot of time there, so we hope many other families and vacationers can enjoy it.

Cobalion. I just don't know where you are going with it. If you want it to have Stealth Rock, that's fine. But I'd suggest it's other moves should be Swords Dance, Stone Edge and Close Combat. I guess Sacred Sword is alright over Close Combat, but if you want to keep it I'd say go for a Life Orb.
Tornadus needs Hammer Arm trashed. Replace it with Superpower.
Hydreigon is good.
Why do you want Cobalion to have Volt Switch?
Also, I'd like to point out you have a pretty big Fighting weakness. I'm sure you can face it with Tornadus, but yeah. Just wanted to tell you.
Im playing black 1, cant teach tornadus superpower. Me wanting volt switch on cobalion was me wanting three pokemon to be able to switch in on each other. But, im thinking of getting a gallade in place of cobalion, though ill have to go to quick trade in hopes of getting one. Mienshao can heal off hjk recoil with regenerator+u-turn, so the accuracy loss in hjk is manageable.

Confused as to why there is so much hate on this board? This company has significant revenue growth yearly. Each quarter getting closer to profit as well. Seems like a bunch of paid bashers on this board
Their "Selling General & Admin Expenses" always scales with their Gross Profit. Look it up.
In my jaded eyes, these guys are dipping from the pot every chance they get.
growth is dropping Q over Q.
do you research before investing in a company.
is that all you have? yearly revenue is more important than quarterly. revenues have increased yearly.....they are still on track to beat their previous yearly revenue by a large amount...116 mil in 2011 200 mil in 2012. They have already surpassed that with 215 mil this year, will probably end up with 280 and thats being conservative

"Newburyport" Newburyport by garridogal
Newburyport Travel Guide: 24 reviews and 58 photos
After driving through a monsoon-like storm, we got to Newburyport. As soon we got into town it stopped. Maybe it was some sort of sign or maybe it was just very convenient.
This is the center of Newburyport. It's a cute, quaint, full of shops and oh so New England and it's a nice drive - even through a storm - on 1A from Beverly.
Okay, it's not really eerie. I looked at this photo and it reminded me of the bad movies I'd watch as a kid about a haunted New England town.
Just like a bit of Cape May in Ye Olde New England...
- Pros:A beautiful day trip from Boston
- Cons:You may wish you lived in such a picturesque place!
- In a nutshell:Newburyport - it's not just for lobstahs

After wearing a pink Jenny Packham design for her first visit yesterday (we'll brush over that), she made a quick change into a bright, floral print number from Prabal Gurung.
This morning, the Duchess visited the Gardens by the Bay in an all-white, belted skirt suit by Alexander McQueen. She paired it with her favourite navy suede wedges and a matching clutch.
Our thoughts on this latest look? It's another safe choice but it's far more flattering than the kimono style from yesterday. Let us know how you rate Kate's all white ensemble and see more of the royal couple in the gallery below:

My favorite go to recipe...moist and not at all bland or dry. I often will sub bananas for the zucchini.

Great tasting and low fat bread! Toasted and a cup of coffee.

Yesterday, I briefly discussed some of the events I took part in at LISA13 in Washington DC, but I wouldn't say it was an exhaustive list of everything I did. You see…I also played hookie on Monday, rented a car, and drove some people to the Udvar-Hazy Center, otherwise known as the Air and Space Museum Hanger.
Every time I've ever been to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, it's always the one on the National Mall. They have a lot of really cool stuff there, like Apollo landers, the Spirit of St. Louis, Spaceship One, and hundreds of other air-and-spacecraft. But the big birds are reserved for the Udvar-Hazy center, because there's no parking spot on the National Mall for a Concorde. Or one of these.
Yep, they have a Blackbird. Oh, and right behind it? This girl:
That's the Space Shuttle Discovery. No big deal, right? Seriously, if you're visiting DC, you must make it out to Udvar-Hazy. It's so worth the trip.
One of the other things they have is a selection of space capsules. I've been to enough museums now that I've seen plenty of them. Before, I'd concentrate on the tininess of the cockpit. How would you like to be shoved into that sardine can for days or weeks, flying through space with a limitless vacuum just outside the metal walls?
Maybe it's the fact that I've been playing a lot of Kerbal Space Program lately, or maybe it's the fact that I was experiencing things by visiting with a group of sysadmins, but for whatever reason, instead of concentrating on the cramped quarters, I opened my eyes and I realized that even the tiniest space capsule has a TON of switches, knobs, screens, and dials. The instrumentation is amazing!
Now, we see things like the Dragon from SpaceX, and yeah, it's complicated because it does a lot. It's modern and docks with the ISS, and all of that, but what about the first ones? Suppose you looked at the very first space capsule that John Glenn rode in. How many controls and dials would you see? How many things do you think a space capsule does?
You know it has to control the angle of re-entry, so you could expect some kind of control stick arrangement for that. It probably should monitor fuel, so you'll need a dial for that. Temperature, both internal and external would be useful. Also an altimeter, and an emergency "pop the chute" button in case the chute didn't do that on its own. Plus the wheel you'd unscrew to open the hatch. If I were imagining it in my head, that's probably what I'd say. I imagine I'm simplifying a little bit, but I don't think I'd be that far from reality.
Except I'm dramatically wrong. Here's John Glenn in the cockpit of the Friendship 7 capsule:
When I saw the capsules at the Smithsonian had instrumentation like that (and more!), I was kind of blown away. What do all of those things do? (As it turns out, there's an app for that) But it's just simply amazing. Every single function that could possibly be executed is instrumented there, with a physical switch or dial. That's kind of inspirational to me.
To some extent, modern IT has gotten away from these kind of command and control interfaces. Where, in previous times, it might have seemed advantageous to us to have a "command and control center", now, we largely try to automate away all of the interactive features and to get our systems to fly by wire, as it were. These switches and knobs have been replaced by API calls, and I'm much more comfortable with things like that.
But what of the dials? Feedback is still just as important as it was in John Glenn's day. Yes, we have alerting to those conditions that we know to watch for, and chances are good that you're trending certain things like bandwidth, load, and so on (partially because those are easy, and partially because they've been standard to trend since even before Tobi Oetiker wrote MRTG). But is that all you're gathering? Is that enough?
I keep reading through Etsy's amazing blog entry from a few years ago, Measure Anything, Measure Everything, and it kind of speaks to me. Diskspace is cheap. Information isn't. Why aren't I monitoring more? Why aren't I monitoring business metrics? Is it worth the effort of implementing? What's the potential payoff? What's the downside?
What I've eventually come to is that, for the first time in my professional life, I am creating an annual goal for myself. This year, I'm going to concentrate on instrumentation. I'm going to implement better, more thorough monitoring, I'm going to figure out what matters to me and my employer, and figure out what the best way to present it is. I don't know what's important and what isn't until I see it, so I'm going to be liberal in my data gathering.
One of the first things I'm going to be doing is standing up a Graphite instance that I don't hate. I spent a lot of the train trip back from Washington playing with it using Vagrant, and I wanted to help other people. Graphite has a reputation for being difficult to install. The amazing Jason Dixon wrote Synthesize to do the hard work for you, but it's limited to Ubuntu 13.04, and we're settled on 12.04 until the next LTS is released, so I cribbed some of his ideas and those of other HowTos and created a Vagrantfile that installs Graphite. It's not a vagrant box – it's a generic Precise64 box, but iif you look at the Vagrantfile, it walks you through the steps of installation, it just does it automatically and without any interaction.
You can take the automated steps and change them to meet your environment however you want. Hopefully it will help you set up Graphite in your own infrastructure. I'm still working on Collectd, and I may have some places to use something like statsd, too. But I'm making progress. If your monitoring environment needs help, maybe you can start now, too. It's just one step at a time, right?

Young Recruit Left His Bike, Felled Bulldozer Terrorist
An 18-year-old recent conscript from Jerusalem, who had just completed basic training this week, was having a day off in town yesterday. Riding his bicycle on the way home, he saw a bulldozer overturning a bus. He says he immediately realized this was a terrorist attack.
"I approached the bus on my bicycle, and then began to run to the site, looking for a weapon to use against the terrorist," he told reporters yesterday. The military censor imposed a gag order on his identity.
Near the bulldozer the young soldier found a civilian, Oron Ben-Shimon, 28, a regional manager of a security firm in Jerusalem, who was armed. "Together we tried to neutralize the terrorist, at least to lift his feet off the pedals.
"He shouted 'Allah Akbar.' At that moment I pulled the pistol that Oron carried and shot the terrorist three times in the head. After I verified that he was dead, I raised the pistol to make sure that passersby were not hurt," he recounted.
"I went out on Jaffa Road," says Oron, "and as I was driving I saw a crowd of people shouting 'terrorist' and 'mad man.' I put on a police hat, and took my pistol and ran toward the bulldozer."
"I saw a policeman on the bulldozer with a drawn gun. I holstered my weapon and the policeman told me there was no need to shoot him because he passed out and we need to pull him out of the bulldozer.
"And then the terrorist woke up and grabbed the wheel and tried to run over more people. I was already on the bulldozer and I hit him with my fists in the face in an effort to take over the wheel. I shouted to the young man near me to shoot him. He drew my pistol from the holster and shot him three times in the head."
Later the anti-terrorist patrol policeman shot him twice. "There was no real need to confirm the guy's death. He was finished," Oron said.
Four months ago, when a terrorist entered the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in Jerusalem and murdered eight students, Captain David Shapira, a paratroop officer, shot and killed the terrorist. Shapira is the young soldier's brother-in-law.
Strength and courage
Shapira had heard the shots from across the street, grabbed his rifle and ran to the yeshiva, shooting the terrorist dead in the library. The young soldier called his brother-in-law several minutes after he shot the terrorist and filled him in on the details.
"I thank my brother-in-law for giving me the strength and courage to act the way I did," the soldier said. "He served as a role model for me. I am excited - not every day do we get such a privilege. This was a killing spree in the middle of our sacred country, and our hearts are full of pain for the dead in the attack," he said in a statement yesterday.

A dog named Izzy visited WITN News at Sunrise as the Pet of the Week Wednesday.
Izzy is a seven-year-old dog who is used to a good loving home. She has been at the Humane Society for a couple of months now, and last week, her best friend was adopted. Now she is looking for her own forever home.
Izzy may be slightly gray around the face, but she is still full of life! Izzy is a terrier mix so she has a lot of energy in a small package. Most of her energy is excitement over any attention you give her, she especially loves to give kisses! She is house trained, and will make a terrific pet.
All dogs at the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, and on heartworm and flea prevention. All dogs 6 months or older are tested for heartworms. Their adoption comes with a small bag of Hill's Science Diet food and a free one month trial of pet health insurance.
If you are interested in adopting Izzy or any of the animals at the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina, please contact them at (252) 413-7247 or visit them online at www.hsecarolina.org.

Nobody in the world even ever dares to write the true story of love, it's awful, we're stuck with a 50% incomplete literature and drama -- Lying mouth to mouth, kiss to kiss in the pillow dark, loin to loin in unbelievable surrendering sweetness so distant from all our mental fearful abstractions it makes you wonder why men have termed God antisexual somehow -- The secret underground truth of mad desire hiding under fenders under buried junkyards throughout the world, never mentioned in newspapers, written about haltingly and like corn by authors and painted tongue in cheek by artists, agh (26.6)

Jeff "Snake" Greenberg was born in Philadelphia, PA, and started playing piano at age 5. At the age of 14 he composed a score for the Yale Drama School, at 15 he made his Carnegie Recital Hall debut and at 16 recorded for the RCA Red Seal label. After attending New York University and Berklee College of Music, where he studied piano and arranging, Jeff continued his studies privately with such teachers as Don Sebesky, Sanford Gold and Ronnie Fabre.
Jeff performed regularly in Atlantic City and later moved to New York City where he worked as a studio musician and singer for TV and radio commercials, and became the house arranger for a major jingle company. He also worked on cruise ships as an entertainer, a singer/pianist and an orchestra musician and served as musical director for several cruise lines.
From 2002 until 2006, Jeff was the musical director of "The Rat Pack is Back" - a show re-creating the shows of the early 60s by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Joey Bishop. He played piano, conducted the orchestra and contributed musical arrangements to the show.
In 2006 after a near death experience, Jeff felt the needed to explore his musical roots, and moved to New Orleans. He has become a strong exponent of the piano styles of Professor Longhair, James Booker, Huey "Piano" Smith, Tuts Washington and the accordion style of Clifton Chenier. He combines these sounds with the swing and jump styles of Louis Jordan, Nat Cole, Joe Liggins and others.
Jeff is also a substitute show host on WWOZ 90.7 FM in New Orleans.

In the United States, the failure to achieve immigration reform at the national level has resulted in numerous responses in local communities that have been most impacted by the settlement of new immigrants. Some of these responses have emerged in suburban communities that have experienced a rapid rise in the foreign-born population during the last twenty years. This essay offers an in-depth analysis of one such community, Farmers Branch, Texas, covered nationally for a series of anti-immigrant ordinances passed by its City Council. Following a description of the history of this community, the growth of its foreign-born population, and the legal manoeuvres to control unauthorized immigration, the essay argues that anti-immigrant legislation in local places like Farmers Branch is at its core a reflection of a debate about and anxiety over American identity -- how it is defined and how it is changing. In particular, these responses are about a perceived threat to middle class status and identity. This is discussed first in relationship to issues of home ownership and income and then, in relation to cultural dimensions of class, including matters of taste and the spatializations of middle class identity. Finally, the paper unpacks the concept of "rule of law". By invoking the claim that Americans are law abiding while unauthorized immigrants have broken the law, lawfulness becomes an exclusionary tool and gives those who support anti-immigrant ordinances a platform for legislating a certain quality of life, and de-Americanizing those who do not fit their conceptualization of what it means to be American. Rule of law becomes a weapon in the fight for middle class status and the status quo.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The last time Michigan and Michigan State faced each other while both were in the Top 25, Mateen Cleaves was a sophomore for the Spartans — and the Wolverines were trying to move on after ousting coach Steve Fisher.
That was in 1998, but this rivalry is becoming nationally significant again. On Tuesday night, No. 20 Michigan hosts No. 9 Michigan State in a game between two programs having very encouraging seasons. Although each team is coming off a loss, the Spartans and Wolverines are still hovering around the top of the Big Ten.
Michigan State (15-3, 4-1) had won 15 in a row before losing at Northwestern on Saturday. Michigan (14-4, 4-2) lost that same day at Iowa but has still won nine of its last 11.

The conflicted legacy of SDSU's 2012-13 season
"Most embarrassing loss ever!"
"Shame on the seniors and the coach!"
"The Aztecs were clearly outplayed and outcoached!"
"I think we need to look for a new head coach!"
Steve Fisher, in a perverse sort of way, is probably smiling. San Diego State's head basketball coach has talked for years about building a program on Montezuma Mesa, not a team, and there's a difference. A team goes 34-3 and wins an NCAA Tournament game for the first time in school history; a program returns to the tournament the next year, and the next.
A program sells out the arena three months before the first game.
A program means expectations are elevated to Himalayan levels, and the wackos on the message boards start calling for the legendary coach's job when you win a game in the tournament for only the second season in school history but then allow a school no one has heard of become the only No. 15 seed ever to reach a Sweet 16.
A program means apathy succumbs to angst.
"You always hate to let an opportunity like that slip away," SDSU associate head coach Brian Dutcher said in the silence of the post-game locker room Sunday night following the 81-71 loss to Florida Gulf Coast at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center. "That said, this has been the greatest four-year stretch in the history of San Diego State basketball."
He nodded toward a distraught Chase Tapley.
"He's been to four straight NCAA Tournaments and has been part of the only three NCAA Tournament wins in school history. Look, in this event, everyone is going to be sad except for one team."
It is a season, then, shackled with a conflicted legacy.
Will it be judged through the prism of the past? Of a 0-14 conference record in Fisher's first year at SDSU? Of the beat writer from the Las Vegas paper going to the bathroom shortly before tipoff and returning to find UNLV leading the Aztecs 15-1? Of an associate athletic director being asked for the attendance in his empty 12,414-seat arena, looking at his watch and announcing a crowd of 945?
Or will it be judged on the enormous expectations that Fisher so magically created? On 34-3? On four straight trips to the tournament? On the first five-star prep recruit in school history?
A year ago, a 26-8 team that lost in the tournament to a bigger, stronger, better North Carolina State squad seeded 11th was considered a lovable overachiever. A year later, a team with most of same protagonists, with an almost identical RPI, with considerable higher ratings in other computer metrics, with the lowest defensive field-goal percentage in school history, wins a game in the tournament and is considered a disappointment by many.
"I think we're a better team this year than last year," Fisher said after beating Oklahoma 70-55 in Philadelphia. "But a year ago we got a pass. That doesn't happen at what we do (in college basketball). Our fans said, 'Well, you lose all these guys from the 34-3 team, so you may not be that good, but, boy, wait until what is now this year.'
So what happened to this team?
In the end, it was remarkably similar to the year before. Last year's team lost Tim Shelton and Garrett Green. This year's team added JJ O'Brien to the rotation along with a pair of true freshmen, Winston Shepard and Skylar Spencer. Another freshman, Matt Shrigley, redshirted, and transfers Dwayne Polee and James Johnson rarely got off the bench.
Otherwise, it was the same five guys: Jamaal Franklin, Chase Tapley, Xavier Thames, DeShawn Stephens and James Rahon.

Tony Blankley Named Editorial-Page Editor; Helle Dale Takes Heritage position.(PAGE ONE)
Byline: Jennifer Harper, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Tony Blankley, a Washington newspaper columnist and television commentator since he left his job as press secretary to Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, yesterday was named editor of the editorial page of The Washington Times.
He succeeds Helle Bering Dale, who resigned to become deputy director for international studies at the Heritage Foundation. The appointment, made by Wesley Pruden, editor in chief of The Times, is effective July 1. Deborah Simmons will continue as deputy editor of the page, a position she assumed last year.
"We applaud the wonderful job Helle did for The Times in the last 11 years," Mr. Pruden told Times staffers gathered around him as he stood on the copy desk. "She leaves with our thanks and applause ringing in her ears. Now I am delighted to announce that Tony Blankley, known to many of you, will succeed her. Tony knows Washington better than most, and he knows where all the bodies are buried. He may have buried a few himself."
In his brief remarks, Mr. Blankley promised to retain the momentum of the page. "I intend to make a case that the Republican and moderate Democratic members of the House and Senate will pay attention to," Mr. Blankley said. "I bring along an understanding of how politicians read - or don't read - editorials. We intend for The Times editorial page to remain that must-read in town."
After the September 11 attacks, America faces a whole set of new issues, he said. "Some of the old debates have become stale and antiquated."
Mr. Blankley will focus on a trio of regular topics in future months. "We must pay attention to the reorganization of the government to counter terrorism; the intersection of morality, law and bioengineering; and the effect of the global economy on sovereign governments, particularly our own."
He has a substantial history in politics and journalism. A former deputy attorney general of California, Mr. …

Hi All,
I am here because this seems to be THE only source for good knowledge on fixed/single speed bikes out there. I am looking to get my first bike, and need some advice. I am 6'4" with a 34-35" inseam. I want this as both a commuter bike, and something i might take on ~15 mile road rides to get some good fitness in. My cap is at around $800. I know some of these are cheaper and less than my limit would be great, but I also want something that I can grow into. Parts will come and go, but the frame remains. Any and all advice is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance.

WASHINGTON (WJLA) -- The marriage of tech billionaire Jeff Bezos and literary landmark The Washington Post may appear to be a mismatch - until you start thinking like an entrepreneur.
Peter Corbett is CEO of iStrategyLabs, a high-tech solution service based here in Washington, D.C.
"I don't think that Bezos is going to shut down the print piece, but it could be dramatically scaled back," Corbett says. "Adding additional huge distribution in digital immediately is certainly possible and likely the course of action."
At high-tech business incubator 1776, founder Evan Burfield initially thought the sale was a joke - then quickly realized it all makes sense for Bezos' business model, which at Amazon spans well beyond online retail.
"They have a major publishing business," says Burfield. "They've taken out a lot of traditional publishing houses and I think he understands the value of brand and content, but in much richer and diverse ways of monetizing it than maybe the Post had traditionally looked at it."
The idea that the Post will expand its digital content under Bezos is a given. However, the question remains of whether or not the paper itself can still turn a profit. Tech reporter Rob Pegoraro has worked at the Post for 17 years, and says:
"When you look at what's amiss at the Post and newspapers in general, it's not so much the story telling [or the] the journalism -- it's how do you get people to stick around. You want people who will linger and read the next story... and the one after that..."

Lizz Winstead on @awopradio; Lonely Mitt Romney's Friends Are Corporations
Hey, there, my fellow Politicos! Just wanted to take a second to thank all of you for supporting my efforts over at A World of Progress Radio (@awopradio on twitter). My cohort-in-crime, Kim G., is a generous soul, and we share the same vision: fighting for the common good and highlighting the wrongs being perpetrated by the GOP's friends, the corporations. Our contributor, Allie McNeil, of @watergatesummer fame, was able to persuade THE Lizz Winstead, whom I loved on Air America Radio, to appear on our lil' ol' radio show this Sunday! (I know! I'm still pinching myself.) Lizz has always been a fighter of the good fight, and is obviously "good people" for so graciously agreeing to visit us at A World of Progress Radio. I'll be interviewing the folks behind the film "Default," an expose of the student loan industry, and the bubble that's about to burst in that financial sector. They're fighting the good fight, too, and we're hoping to help them in our own small way.I hope you'll get to give us a listen this Sunday, at 4 p.m. Pacific and 7 p.m. Eastern. Please tweet me and let me know what you think of the show - always looking for good feedback from my fellow Politicos. ;)
Now, on to lonely little Mittens Romney. Did you see that clip? Mother of God. What the hell was he thinking??? I sit here speechless. I am honestly struggling to find words, which, as you know, my dear Politicos, is a near-impossibility. But I sit here, with our usual daily dose of Maddow on the TV machine, and on comes Mitt Romney, talking to a group on the campaign trail, about taxes. He was spouting, in his usual rich-guy way, about ways to pay for Social Security. And he makes a remark that is, just, wow. Wow. That's all I can say. Here, you take a look, and I'll wait here and try to contemplate what to say about this:
I know! I KNOW! I couldn't believe it, either! We have now gotten to the point that the GOP front-runners are no longer even trying to hide their agenda. "Corporations ARE people, my friend." Whoop, there it is...the Republican Party's core belief. We couldn't write this, folks, not even if we tried.
First, there was the Citizens United decision, in which corporations granted personhood by the most activist court in the land. And I thought that was blatant. But, no, apparently Mitt has decided it wasn't clear enough. So he just spelled it all out for the American people, in simple, no-nonsense, get rid of all that legal verbiage: "Corporations ARE people." Can't get much clearer than that. Jesus H. Christ, they're not even hiding it anymore. Oh, Mittens.
But here's the best part: Did you hear the crowd? They weren't just passively listening to Mitt and buying his bullpuckey. They were calling him out. Not just heckling, these good folks were tearing into him! They were laughing at Mittens, and they were righteously angry, and they were gonna tell him about it! "Tax the rich!" "Tax corporations!" "The money goes in their pockets!" Beautiful. Just beautiful. God bless them for speaking out. It's about time!!!
Y'know what? Those brave folks are not alone. Congress has the lowest approval rating ever. Ever. How low? 82% of Americans think Congress is screwing up. Of that amount, 72 % think it's the Rethugs' fault. Fox News rates it even lower in their polls! Yes, the American people are waking up. And we're not happy.The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and the middle class is being crushed out of existence. What the GOP don't seem to get is that people have been working as hard as they can for the past 12 years. They've been doing everything possible to make ends meet, and there's no end in sight. So by God, working families, it's about time we got angry. It's about time we band together and speak out. And it's about time we call out Corporate America (read: The Grand Obstructionist Party) for the travesty they've committed against working class families.
Today, Mitt Romney made it crystal-clear what the Republican Party agenda is: "Corporations ARE people, my friends." At least the only people who count. And maybe, just maybe, if the Dems take advantage of this opportunity to push jobs on the agenda, maybe, just maybe, we can come out of this recession still in possession of a middle class in this country.

Bill Cosby Talks at St. Peter's University on Friday, December 7, 2012
Library Board President Holds Up Library Card; 'Cos' in Background
Library Director Priscilla Gardner didn't get exactly what she wanted, yet still she was pleased.
Bill Cosby, whose performance was re-scheduled from Saturday, November 3, due to Hurricane Sandy, spoke at Saint Peter's University on Friday, December 7. Library Director Priscilla Gardner and NJ Room manager Cynthia Harris were both in attendance at the special reception before the iconic comedian took the stage.
Mr. Cosby, whose honest, yet blunt opinions illustrate the mind and heart of the Ph.D.-holding funny man, is clear about not posing for photo opportunities. Library Director Priscilla Gardner has been just as forthright, asking elected and appointed officials, and all sorts of famous people to smile while holding the Jersey City Free Public Library card for a photograph.

0 Comments | Copyright: IANS
Thiruvananthapuram, Aug 26 (IANS) It's time for the three "ageing superstars" of Malayalam cinema to make way for fresh faces. With influx of youngsters, growing popularity of Tamil films and the expansion of digital platforms, the heydays of the trio of Mammootty, Mohanlal and Suresh Gopi seem to be over.
The three amongst themselves have more than 800 films and six National Awards for the best actor. At 62, Mammootty is the eldest among the three. Gopi, once the angry young man of Malayalam cinema, is 55, while Mohanlal, popularly called Lal, is the youngest at 54.
Ace comedian and character artiste Jagadish, who rubbed shoulders with them in several films, feels it is time to see things in the right perspective.
"When the trio was going great guns, the only competition that they had was amongst themselves. But in the past one decade things have changed drastically, and today, not only are they pitted against more than a dozen youngsters, the audience has now accepted Tamil films, which offer a rich variety," Jagadish told IANS.
"Also, there are numerous options for entertainment available in the form of cell phones, social media and what not," he added.
When the three actors started their career in 1980, it took them a decade to establish themselves as the reigning stars by dethroning legends like Prem Nazir and thespian Madhu.
In fact, the trio were seen as a perfect replacement for macho Jayan, who was killed while attempting a dare devil stunt on board a helicopter.
The 1990s and the following decade can be summed up as the glorious period for them and later their experience and versatility helped them to stay ahead of the curve.
Every rise has its fall. Starting 2010, the trio too faced disappointments when their films started bombing.
In the past few years Mammootty had 29 releases and barring a few, none really shook the box office. Lal had 22 releases, and Gopi, who was busy with TV assignments, had 19, but all the films met with the same fate.
The failures indicate that their names do not have the power to pull the crowd at the theatres any more.
Dileep, who was never rated as a superstar but played a glorious innings in the industry, continues to hold on to where he has been since the turn of the century.
He takes inspiration from Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is still going strong despite being 71. He said that he has survived this long because "he reinvented himself and takes roles that suit his age."
"We have to accept certain things in life and that is, one can't be always on the top. Today even in politics, where age is not a criterion, this does not happen," he said.
Another film personality, who wants to be anonymous, admits that the trio are "gifted actors", but added: "As the saying goes, 'There is a time and place for everything' and one should be wise enough to understand it."
Award winning filmmaker Majid Gulistan says stardom is like an illusion.
"Films are in itself an illusion and the stars ride on that. Even in Hollywood, the concept of star system has changed and nowhere except in the Malayalam film industry could these superstars have had such a long run. They should consider themselves hugely fortunate.
"When the concept of star system goes, new ideas and thoughts gain significance and it would be based on the theory of survival of the fittest in all respects," said Gulistan.

Characteristics of Industrial Development Banks and Their Role in Economic Development
Although many of the basic elements of development banking can be traced to institutions in the older industrialized countries dating from the early part of the 19th century, their employment in developing countries appears to have originated with the organization of corporaciones de fomento in several Latin American countries before and during World War II. The sharp decline in the prices of primary commodities during the 1930's led the governments of a number of Latin American countries to adopt policies deliberately designed to promote industrialization. Efforts to encourage domestic industry by means of restrictions on imports were only partially successful. Domestic industrial capital formation was adversely affected by the interruption of foreign capital inflow and the reduced earnings from exports of primary commodities. Private capital formation in domestic industrial activities was also limited by the shortage of domestic entrepreneurs with capital available for investment in industry and by the shortage of foreign exchange required for the importation of capital equipment and raw materials. Although World War II was accompanied by an increased demand for at least some primary products, the need for industrialization was enhanced by the unavailability of industrial commodity imports from the developed nations of North America and Western Europe. Latin American governments were therefore led to the creation of institutions designed both to establish publicly owned or mixed industrial enterprises and to provide financing for private industry. Thus, Mexico's Nacional Financiera was established in 1934; Chile's CORFO (Corporacion de Fomento de la Produccion), in 1939; Colombia's Instituto de Fomento Industrial, in 1940; Argentina's Banco Industrial de la Republica Argentina, in 1943; and Venezuela's Corporacion Venezolana de Fomento, in 1946.
Most of the industrial development banks in existence today, both in Latin America and elsewhere in the underdeveloped world, have been established since 1950. This surge in the creation of development financing institutions has paralleled the growing national interest in rapid industrialization and the rapid rise in the number of new independent nations. Governments have established or promoted the formation of industrial development banks as a means of channeling government capital and private domestic savings into industry and of attracting external

- offspring MUST be a MALE Charmander
- Breed Charmander with a FEMALE Larvitar
- end
* Aside from Horsea, you may also breed Charmander with Dratini(51), Altaria(39) , or Gyarados (level 44).
* Aside from Charmander, you may also use Totodile or Lapras. However, both of them couldn't breed w/ Altaria nor Gyarados

5 Popular Wedding Scams To Avoid…
Wedding scams and bad practices happen everyday and everywhere, especially in a growing industry such as weddings. Everyone wants a piece of your budget and more. Many vendors in the business have been doing it for years, so they know all the crafty areas where they can make a quick buck, especially when they're dealing with novices.
Not all wedding vendors are crooks though, the majority are fair. But it's best to be aware of some of the industry's sneaky wedding scams. So here goes:
1. Pressure booking
Venues, photographers and caterers are terrible for this. You go and see a lovely venue 18 months in advance. You love it but want to go away and think about it with your fiancé. The venue see that you really like it and playing to your emotion, tell you that there's someone else interested on your chosen day, or that it's booking up fast. Take your time to think about it well enough if you need to, rather than paying on impulse. Don't forget, there are plenty of wedding venues out there and it's very unlikely that someone else is looking on the same date as you, so be mindful of this sort of scam, and don't fall for it.
2. Non-refundable deposits
This is another scam, usually when you book to secure a particular day, the vendor will request that you put down a deposit which is perfectly acceptable. It ties you in and gives security to the vendor. What I don't like is when they insist that the deposit is non-refundable. I personally think this is unfair. I think if you're giving them enough notice that you no longer need the service, then you should get a 100% money back guarantee, like I stated, make sure you give more than enough notice unless you won't get any money back so be mindful.
3. Who owns the originals?
Make sure your wedding photographer gives you all your photos in high resolution, some don't because they want you to pay an exorbitant amount for it, which is not cool, so when you're talking to a photographer, this is a must-ask. Ensure that they'll hand over the original negatives and digital shots, so you can get reprints done at your leisure and a cost you're happy with. You could even print them off at home these days!
4. Hidden fees, charges and complicated contracts
Make sure you read contracts before signing, it's very important. Check that all the elements you're using are included in the cost. Look out for and ask about surcharges for anything and everything, including car parking, cake cutting, service charge, cutlery hire, napkin hire, crockery, etc. Venues are not the only vendors fond of hidden charges, wedding dress shops are too. Before you buy or even enter the shop, ask about additional charges for delivery, dress bags, storage, alterations, fittings and insurance. Make sure you ask before you buy.
5. Fakes and copies
One of the most disappointing and horrid wedding scams is to be landed with a fake. The discovery that your diamond or your dress is a fake or an ill-made copy can be devastating for some brides, not to mention completely illegal.
Dresses and diamonds are the most common areas for this kind of wedding scam. For dresses, it's usually only the high-end designers that are copied and the originals virtually always come complete with tags and a certificate. Make sure when you try them on, the designers' label is inside the garment and looks real.
If you're after a designer number then see it for real in a wedding dress boutique, that way you can see the workmanship and tags. If you're buying online, then you're more likely to get ripped off or duped, so be mindful.
When buying a diamond, do your research on the jeweler. Are they reputable? Do they have a certificate for the diamond? Make sure you look at the loose diamond under a lens with at least 10x magnification. You'll then be able to see flaws and imperfections to access if you're getting good value for money. When you've bought it, get it verified by another independent jeweler and if you're not happy, then take it back.
Don't get ripped up, be wise!

Winter Geocaching
This week, a good friend came up from Texas to visit me. He had never been in a "real" winter and Nebraska decided to fix that for him. We had a near blizzard set in the second day he was here with temperatures dropping nearly 30 degrees in a day and the sky dumped nearly 6 inches of snow on us.
The next day, even in icy, snow covered, white out conditions we set out on our sightseeing adventure. We visited Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, drove all over Rapid City, SD, and even braved REALLY bad and scary roads to see Devil's Tower in Wyoming.
We didn't geocache, I'll be honest, although it was on the list of things to try to get to. But, the experience got me thinking about what kinds of caches would be best for winter, and what precautions one should take.
If you live in the South, you can probably get away with just adding layers of warm clothes to your regular hiking gear. Most southern states do not get much snow or ice, or if you do it doesn't last long.
In the North, Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West and Pacific Northwest, however, snow and ice are a big part of winter. The weather and the temperatures need to be taken into consideration when you set out to geocache in the winter up here. Checking the forecast, paying attention to road conditions, and keeping a "just in case" winter emergency kit in your car become necessary.
I think that the winter should change the type of caches you go after as well. Micro and small caches become much harder to find, and caches with a high terrain or difficulty rating do as well. Unless you are an experienced winter hiker, backcountry caches are not such a good idea. Most Earthcaches, as well, become much more difficult as most geologic features are in out of the way, inaccessible places.
Let me give you an example. One of the places that my friend and I visited was Devil's Tower National Monument in Wyoming. To reach the monument, we traveled 28 miles of snowy, icy mountain passes with switchbacks and at least two places with a seven percent downgrade slope. At the monument itself, the parking lots were packed in snow and ice, the temperatures were in the negative numbers in the shade, the wind was blowing and the hiking trails were steep and slick. To log the Earth cache (Devil's Tower) you have to have a picture of yourself with the biggest column and count the sides, which requires hiking those trails. Unless you are really winter savvy, and ready for the temperature drops, this is not a smart cache to go after at this time of year.
Having a caching buddy along is also a good idea, for companionship and for safety. Here are some other tips to make geocaching in the winter more fun and safe. Take extra batteries for your GPS. The cold sucks the life out of batteries fairly fast. Take a pencil instead of a pen, sometimes the ink freezes. Pack a few extra chemical handwarmers to use in thawing out metal geocache containers if they are frozen shut. Try not to leave a trail through the snow straight to the cache, muddy the waters a little so that you don't create a spoiler or attract muggles.
Winter shouldn't mean the end of geocaching, and you shouldn't wait for the spring thaw to get out there.. just be smart when you are outside in the winter, Mother Nature doesn't favor the ill prepared.
