Kathleen Parker: The initiation of Susan Rice
WASHINGTON — A variety of insults have been deployed in opposition to Susan Rice's likely nomination for secretary of state: She is not qualified; she's too aggressive; she "misled" the public following the lethal attack on the American consulate in Libya.
Upon closer examination, however, the real reason may be less complicated. She's not a member of the most elite club in America, the U.S. Senate. Also, she appears to be President Obama's first choice.
As anyone with a television knows, Rice has come under fire by the new, revised Tres Amigos — Republican Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte, plus Susan Collins of Maine. All have expressed concerns about Rice's role in delivering the administration's explanation following the Benghazi attack, which initially was blamed on street protests over an anti-Muhammad video, but later confirmed as a terrorist attack.
Off somewhere letting her hair grow, Hillary Clinton knitted her brows and noted that Rice has been an excellent U.N. ambassador. Which is to say, she didn't exactly go to the mat for her female colleague, who had the audacity to support Obama for president rather than the former first lady.
In Ganglandia, it's the New Kids versus the Clinton Machine. How dare Rice, once a Clinton administration appointee, defect?
Clinton, a McCain buddy from their years in the Senate, reportedly prefers another Senate pal, John Kerry, as her successor. So does McCain & Co. And so, needless to say, does Kerry, whose chiseled jaw alone constitutes a diplomatic arsenal. There's clearly no profit in Clinton, a likely presidential candidate in 2016, alienating allies and devaluing her own currency for Rice.
Even so, the opposition's arguments are weak, chief among them that Rice isn't qualified. This from McCain, whose vetting history includes about 80 minutes of conversation with Sarah Palin before selecting her as his running mate in 2008.
For the record, Rice is a graduate of Stanford University and a Rhodes scholar, who served as the assistant secretary of state for African affairs. Even this is troubling to Collins, who said that the Benghazi attack "in many ways echoes the attacks on U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998 when Susan Rice was head of the African region."
Given this logic, shouldn't all eyes now be on Johnnie Carson? No, not the former "Tonight Show" host, Johnny Carson, but the current assistant secretary of African affairs. If Rice is somehow responsible for the 1998 attacks, shouldn't Carson be scrutinized for Benghazi?
Everybody brave enough to enter the public arena gets a few free passes when they utter something short of brilliant, but most of the criticisms aimed at Rice seem ungrounded in reality. To blame Rice for representing the administration's position as provided to her at the time is missing the target, which is properly the White House.
Does Rice have an aggressive personality, as some have said? And does this pose a risk in nominating her? Yes and yes. She notoriously once flipped the bird to diplomat Richard Holbrooke during a State Department meeting.
Such an impulsive act is no recommendation, but is it emblematic or merely anecdotal? Aggression — and even occasional rudeness — is rarely considered a flaw in men.
The investigation into what transpired in Benghazi — bad things sometimes happen in dangerous places — is certainly appropriate. The administration's incoherent handling of information deserves scrutiny. But Rice, barring something we don't know, clearly has the qualifications for secretary of state.
And thoughtful Republicans might reconsider the image of white men ganging up on a highly qualified black woman as they ponder the reasons for their collapsing tent. The road to redemption ain't that-a-way.

Burning the Barn Down by MirMidPhotosWatch
©2011-2016 MirMidPhotos
A friend of mine is training to become a firefighter and was nice enough to invite me along to watch and photograph some of his training. Here they were practicing putting out building fires on an old barn.
Amazing shot.
very cool shot, and a relatively rare scenario too
Awesome shot!
Wow, this is incredible. Thank goodness it was only training.
Amazing capture!
Amazing capture!
This is a really great photo! The contrast between the dark building and really right flames makes the picture that much better, also how there are ashes and pieces of the building flying around. It looks really good
Spectacular, but it looks like they were a little late putting it out.
After they were done fighting they let it burn down. I think firefighters are just pyromaniacs.
WOW ... excellent capture

The wolf is an apex predator that plays a critical role in the ecological system. Wolves benefit the health of elk and deer populations by primarily hunting animals that are old, very young, injured, or diseased, leaving the healthiest animals to produce the next generation.
Case Overview
Wyoming's wolves are protected by the federal government. The state wants to take over management and allow the killing of wolves. The Fish and Wildlife Service denied Wyoming's plan; ranchers, farmers, and others filed suit; and Earthjustice intervened to assure a stout defense of the wolves.
This continues a long string of cases and other activity by Earthjustice to protect wolf populations that either transplanted themselves from Canada or were deliberately introduced to Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho during the Clinton administration.
They have had a benign effect on the native ecosystems where they have reestablished themselves, but have drawn murderous scorn from livestock growers who exaggerate the threat they pose to sheep and cattle.

An estimated 40,840 Clark County residents will be eligible for help paying for insurance coverage under the 2010 Affordable Care Act — and most of them don't know it, according to a health-reform advocacy group.
Families USA released a report this week that estimates that nearly 598,000 Washingtonians will be eligible for the new premium tax credits in 2014. The vast majority — 88 percent — of those eligible for the credits will be in working families, according to the report.
The health care act not only extends Medicaid coverage for the low-income uninsured, it also provides subsidies to those with incomes as high as 400 percent of the federal pov
erty level. That's $46,000 for an individual and $94,200 for a family of four.
"This reaches deeply into the middle class," said Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA. "The tax credit subsidies are a game-changer: They will make health coverage affordable for huge numbers of uninsured families who would have been priced out of the health coverage and care they need."
But those eligible for the subsidy won't receive it automatically. They have to apply.
"The overwhelming majority of people who are uninsured today who will be eligible for these premium subsidies aren't aware of it," Pollack said in a teleconference. "That's why it's so important that people learn about it."
The Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner is already preparing for enrollment, which begins Oct. 1 and ends March 31. In subsequent years, the enrollment window will be shorter.
The state insurance commissioner is reviewing insurance companies' plans to make sure they cover essential services, said Stephanie Marquis, a spokeswoman for the office. In a few weeks, the office will begin reviewing proposed rates for the plans, she said.
Once the plans and rates are approved, then they can be included in the Washington Health Benefits Exchange, which already has a website. Consumers will be able to use Washington Healthplanfinder to apply for coverage as well as subsidies, said exchange spokesman Michael Marchand.
The Affordable Care Act extends Medicaid coverage to those with incomes at 138 percent of the federal poverty level. The state Legislature is expected to accept federal money to expand coverage.
The subsidies for families above the Medicaid cutoff will be offered on a sliding scale. A single person making $23,000 a year might receive $3,550 toward a $5,000-a-year policy, leaving only $121 a month to pay out-of-pocket for premiums, according to an example in Family USA's report, "Help Is at Hand: New Health Insurance Tax Credits in Washington." A family of four with an income of $35,300 would pay about $118 a month for a $12,500 plan, with the remainder covered by the subsidy.
The credits will be paid directly to the insurance company. This lowers families' bills, and also prevents the cash-flow problems that would occur if families had to wait until they received a year-end tax refund.
"These tax credit premium subsidies are not tiny matters," Pollack said. "They are very significant."

FWe reported on Thursday night that Redskins tight end Fred Davis was busted for DUI.
According to CBS Washington, Davis fell asleep at the wheel of his Rolls Royce.
Officers responded to the location after a passerby called 911 to report that a man was slumped over inside a black Rolls-Royce on Gallows Road just prior to the intersection. When officers and medical personnel arrived at the scene it appeared the man was attempting to drive away, according to a Fairfax County Fire Department spokesperson.

Whack Job Benjamin Smith Arrested for Threatening to Kill George W. Bush … "I have to slay a dragon and Barbara Bush is mine"
44 year old Benjamin Smith was arrested Friday after threatening to kill former President George W. Bush. Smith was arrested in Manhattan, NY sitting in his car with a loaded .38-caliber rifle, two boxes of ammunition, a container of gasoline and a machete. According to the complaint, Benjamin Smith, a resident of upstate New York, threatened to "kill, kidnap and inflict bodily harm" on Bush. Smith professed a love interest in Barbara Bush, one of the Bush 43′s twin daughters, according to the complaint filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
A New York man sitting in a car armed with a rifle, a container of gasoline and a machete was arrested Friday after allegedly threatening to kill former President George W. Bush, according to a federal court complaint.
Benjamin Smith, 44, threatened to "kill, kidnap and inflict bodily harm" on Mr. Bush, and he professed a love interest in one of the former president's twin daughters, Barbara, the complaint said, CNN reported.
"Bush will get his," Smith allegedly screamed as he was taken into custody. When asked about his marital status, Smith said, "I'm divorced and not currently seeing anyone, but I am working on a relationship with Barbara Bush," according to the complaint.
Secret Service agents found Smith on Friday morning sitting in his car in Manhattan with a loaded .38-caliber rifle, two boxes of ammunition, a container of gasoline and a machete, CNN said.
"I'm going to work for George W. Bush and the pentagon," Smith allegedly wrote. "I have to slay a dragon and Barbara Bush is mine."
Smith's mother also told police that a rifle was missing from the house.
Secret Service agents were able to track Smith's cell phone to a Midtown street in Manhattan on Friday, where he was taken into custody around 6 a.m.
During questioning Smith appeared to be fixated on the daughter of George W. Bush, according to the complaint.
When he was asked about his marital status, he responded, "I am divorced and not currently seeing anyone but I am working on a relationship with Barbara Bush."

Daily Commentary – Friday, November 22, 2013 – Did You See George W. Bush on Jay Leno?
- The former president looked good, relaxed and he's not a bad artist!
UPDATE I: Check out the VIDEO below of what Dana is referencing in his daily commentary. Leno brought up GWB's recent health scare. Laura Bush responded that she was scared; however, W said that he was not. Leno then hit him with the money line and asked, "You got Obamacare?" and the audience erupted in laughter. The best part is that W and J actually got a good, honest chuckle out of it. GWB had some interesting things to say about dealing with the tough times.

12 Years Later … September 11, 2001, Have You Forgotten? We Will Always Remember Those We Lost, The Heroes and the Evil that Attacked Us
12 years later, in some ways it feels just like 12 hours ago and sometimes just 12 minutes ago. God Bless those who lost their lives that terrible day and a special prayer to the families of those who lost so very much and have overcome.
Have you forgotten that fateful September morning? In many ways it seems that many have. That is until we are attacked again, like in Benghazi, Libya last September 11, 2012. A terror attacked passed off as being blamed on a anti- Islamic video tape by our government and one year later "We the People" have no answers or individuals in custody. But today is meant to honor the memories of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and the heroes that inspired a nation. It has been 12 years to the day of that fateful September morning in 2001 where in an instant our lives and world changed forever. Nearly 3000 people lost their lives in NYC at the World Trade Center, in Washington, DC as flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon and in a field in Shanksville, PA where heroes aboard Flight 93 took matters into their hands and said "NO to terrorism". DO YOU REMEMBER?
We saw pure evil and we saw the best of people. The heroism of those who responded to the terrible terrorist and cowardice acts will never be forgotten as well. Fireman, police, paramedics and first responders running into buildings to help their fellow man, perishing in their efforts. Folks, do not ever forget that feeling you had that day. Do not ever get complacent, do not ever let political correctness make you feel guilty for your actual feelings. For if we forget history and what took place, we are destine to repeat it.
Sorry, love him or hate him, we all owe President George W. Bush for his leadership in the aftermath of 9-11. This is what presidential leadership looks like and thank God we had him to help a nation through the pain and anguish in the days, months and years after. Below is GWB's iconic bullhorn speech in NYC at Ground Hero … "I can hear you …"
First Plane hits the South Tower of the World Trade Center
Second Plane Hits North Tower of World Trade Center

Remember When Joe Biden Said in 2007 that George W. Bush Should Be Impeached for What Barack Obama is About to Do?
Oh the hypocrisy from the LEFT …
Remember when Senator Joe Biden wanted Bush impeached for the very thing that Barack Obama is about to do? So what is different, oh it's Barack Obama. So what is the difference? Oh that's right, the current president is not a Republican. So if Obama attacks Syria without Congressional approval, will Biden be the first to file articles of impeachment against Barack Obama?
In 2007, Senator Joe Biden repeatedly threatened to lead an effort to impeach President George W. Bush in the House should he attack Iran without congressional authorization. Senator Obama agreed that Bush did not have the power to order a strike on Iran. This was not mindless, partisan saber rattling: Vice President Dick Cheney and the neoconservative establishment were actively pushing Bush to take military action against Iran.
On Hardball, Biden emphatically and passionately told Chris Matthews that Bush had "no constitutional authority … to take this nation to war against a county of 70 million people unless we're attacked or unless there is proof we are about to be attacked. And if he does, if he does, I would move to impeach him." Biden was absolutely correct to point out the illegality of Bush's intentions and threaten him with impeachment.
It turns out that his Democratic primary opponent and eventual running mate, then-Senator Joe Biden, had even stronger views about presidents attacking other nations without Congress's permission:
Chris Matthews: You said that if the United States had launched at attack on Iran without Congressional approval, that would've been an impeachable offense. Do you want to review that comment you made?
Joe Biden: Absolutely. I want to stand by that comment I made. The reason I made the comment was as a warning. I don't say those things lightly, Chris. you've known me for a long time. I was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee for 17 years. I teach separation of powers in Constitutional law. This is something I know. So I brought a group of Constitutional scholars together to write a piece that I'm going to deliver to the whole United States Senate pointing out that the president HAS NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY to take this country to war against a country of 70 million people unless we're attacked or unless there is proof that we are about to be attacked. And if he does, I would move to impeach him. The House obviously has to do that, but I would lead an effort to impeach him. The reason for my doing that — and I don't say it lightly, I don't say it lightly.
This is a striking statement.
What a joke, GWB's three biggest critics when it came to his foreign policy were Sens. Barack Obama, Joe Biden and John Kerry. Now suddenly they are all hawks!

Former President George W. Bush's Favorability in the Positive for First Time Since 2005
George W. Bush, do you miss me yet?
According to a recent Gallup poll, former President George W. Bush has a higher favorable than unfavorable for the first time since 2005. When Bush left office in January 2009, he has a 40% favorably and 59% unfavorably. It was even worse than that one later. However, according to the most recent poll GWB has a 49% favorable and 46% unfavorable view. George W. Bush has pretty much stayed out of the public eye since leaving office and has remained quiet when it comes to politics and his successor. One has to wonder whether the current occupant of the White House will do the same. With the current state of affairs with the numerous scandals in the Obama administration, a continued poor economy, record number of Americans on Food Stamps, median household income down, and a Middle East that is on fire many Americans probably will pose the question to themselves, "Miss Me Yet?"
GWB did some things that were questionable in the eyes of conservatives and did escalate the US national debt; however, it was nothing compared to Barack Obama as he has skyrocketed the debt to out of control limits. Bush's favorability is making a come back, but he has a long way to go. Many have said, history will be more kind to "W" as we look back on his presidency and realize he had to make many tough decisions that were important to protect America but was not popular for him.
Americans' views of former president George W. Bush have improved, with 49% now viewing him favorably and 46% unfavorably. That is the first time since 2005 that opinions of him have been more positive than negative.
Bush has maintained a fairly low profile in the four years since he left office. However, he returned to the public eye this year with the April opening of his presidential library at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
Bush left office with 40% viewing him favorably and 59% unfavorably in January 2009. That worsened to 35% favorable and 63% unfavorable in March 2009, but his favorable rating recovered to the mid-40% range by 2010.
CNN: America starting to remember "W" fondly.
Breaking it down further, Bush has seen improvement among independents and both political parties. Twenty-four percent of Democrats view him in a positive light, according to the new survey, compared to 10% in January 2009. Republicans saw a 14 percentage point jump, with 84% now having a positive opinion of Bush.
The biggest increase came among independents. While 29% gave him a favorable rating in 2009, that number now stands at 46%.

UNBELIEVABLE Obama Cronies Blaming George W. Bush for IRS Targeting Conservative Groups & Tea Party
Obama White House spokesman Jay Carney said, said in response to a question about the I.R.S. targeting conservative groups, that the I.R.S. is run by a George W. Bush political appointee. Huh? So let's get this straight, the Obama is blaming George W. Bush for the IRS targeting conservative groups like the Tea Party under their watch? Seriously? When will this gutless administration ever take responsibility for anything? Remember when Barack Obama promised "We the People" the most transparent White House evah?
"I.R.S. is an independent enforcement agency," said Carney. "The — which I believe, as I understand it, contains only two political appointees within it. The individual who is running the I.R.S. at the time was actually an appointee from the previous administration."
The previous administration was George W. Bush's administration.
WHAT A JOKE. Just how many scandals is it going to take for the American people to become completely disgusted with the Obama administration? We have had 'Fast & Furious" the gun walking scandal that was responsible for the death of two US border guards, refusal to secure Bengazi consulate that resulted in four Americans were murdered including Ambassador Stevens, the cover-up of what happened in Benghazi, government loans to "green" energy companies who were campaign donors, the Obamacare lies and the government take over of health care,

Jenna Bush Hager Gives Birth to Baby Girl … Margaret Laura 'Mila' Hager, Making GWB and Laura Bush Grandparents
Congratulations to Jenna Bush Hager and her husband Henry Hager on the birth of their daughter, Margaret Laura 'Mila' Hager. The baby was named after her two grandmothers and already has a nickname — "Mila." It would appear that this is a Bush family tradition, as Jenna and twin Barbara were named after their grandmothers, too. 31 year old Jenna Bush Hager, wow, I cannot believe she is 31, where have the years gone, gave birth to her first child last night, April 13, at 8:43pm in New York City and an undisclosed NYC hospital.
Former first couple George W. and Laura Bush said Sunday they were "elated" at the news their daughter Jenna had given birth to a girl.
"Laura and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our grandchild, Margaret Laura 'Mila' Hager," the first-time grandparents wrote in a statement, noting the new addition to the Bush family was named for her grandmothers.
"She was born last night, April 13, at 8:43pm in New York City. We met our beautiful granddaughter today. Jenna and Mila are healthy. And our family is elated," they continued.
Jenna Bush Hager, 31, announced in December that she was expecting her first child, who is also the first grandchild for the former president and his wife. At the time, she said she was "nervous and so excited" about the pregnancy.
Scared Monkeys has had some fun in the past with our favorite GWB first daughter, Jenna … our first caption contest.

Sen Rand Paul (R-KY): "I Don't Promote Marijuana … Last Two Presidents [Obama/GWB] Could Have Been Jailed For Their Drug Use" … Don't Forget Bill Clinton
This morning on FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) weighed in on recreational drug use in today's society and the penalties for being convicted. Paul stated that he did not promote the use of drugs, even marijuana; however, he also thought that the penalties were far too severe. Paul is not for the legalization of drugs, but also not to incarcerate individuals for long period of times for non-violent crimes. He does not want to put people in jail and ruin their lives. Rand Paul went on to say that the last two presidents [Obama, GWB]could have been jailed for their drug use. Wallace was quick to jump in and correct the Kentucky Senator by saying, probably the last three presidents, although Bill Clinton claims he did not inhale (VIDEO).
Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday that President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush could have "conceivably been put in jail" for their drug use, ruining their lives and impacting their getting elected to office.
"Look, the last two presidents could have conceivably been put in jail for their drug use and I really think – look what would've happened, it would've ruined their lives. They got lucky. But a lot of poor kids, particularly in the inner city, don't get lucky and they don't have good attorneys and they go to jail for some of these things and I think it's a big mistake," the Kentucky Republican said on Fox's "Fox News Sunday."
"Actually, I think it would be the last three presidents, but who's counting?" host Chris Wallace said with a laugh, referring to former President Bill Clinton.

Legendary Journalist Bob Woodward Calls Out Obama For Sequestration … "That's a kind of madness that I haven't seen in a long time" (Video)
File this one under the category when someone in the main stream media actually does their job and holds a president accountable no matter what his party affiliation.
Legendary journalist Bob Woodward of "Watergate" fame is calling out President Barack Obama as the deadline for sequestration nears. As the Obama White House uses scare tactics instead of leadership telling Americans that all things will cease to exist, families will suffer, children will go hungry and the sun will not come up tomorrow … Bob Woodward calls out Obama and likens his actions to madness. Woodward blasted President Obama for playing politics with sequestration and putting the United States at national security rick.
It's one think for Republicans or conservative media to say that Obama is showing a failure to lead, but then one of the journalistic lions like Bob Woodward says it … everyone takes notice and listens.
Transcript from Real Clear Politics:
Can you imagine Ronald Reagan sitting there and saying 'Oh, by the way, I can't do this because of some budget document?' Or George W. Bush saying, 'You know, I'm not going to invade Iraq because I can't get the aircraft carriers I need' or even Bill Clinton saying, 'You know, I'm not going to attack Saddam Hussein's intelligence headquarters,' as he did when Clinton was president because of some budget document? Under the Constitution, the president is commander-in-chief and employs the force. And so we now have the president going out because of this piece of paper and this agreement, I can't do what I need to do to protect the country. That's a kind of madness that I haven't seen in a long time.
It certainly is madness. Yes, just imagine how the liberal MSM would be reporting this story if Reagan or either of the Bush presidents has done the same and put party politics over country?
This is going to leave a mark against Obama. Bob Woodward is a respected journalist and it is going to be fool hearty for Obama and his minion to tarnish Woodward's image. Although they will certainly try.
President Barack Obama Averaged 49.1% Job Approval During First Term in Office, Among the Lowest of Post World War II Presidents
Second Term Mandate … Hardly.
According to Gallup, President Barack Hussein Obama's job approval during his first term in office was among the lowest of ant of the post-World War II presidents. His average of 49.1% during his first term and 48.1% during his final year of his first term is only above Jimmy Carter and George H.G. Bush. However, these two individuals lost reelection. With a consistent high unemployment rate, record number of individuals on food stamps, near record low job participation and record debt, it makes one scratch their heads how GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney did not defeat Obama.
One really has to wonder just how low Barack Obama's job approval ratings would be if he did not have the liberal MSM carrying his water and opening supporting and campaigning for him. How would the American people feel about Barack Obama if they did not have a lying and complicit propagandist media running cover for him? It explains how such an epic failure of a president was reelected. Which begs the questions, had it not been for the corrupt liberal media complex, would a lazy and apathetic America still voted him in for a second term or would they still have bought into Obama's divisiveness and class warfare?
President Barack Obama averaged 49.1% job approval during his first term in office, among the lowest for post-World War II presidents. Only Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford had lower job approval averages. Obama's first-term average is most similar to Bill Clinton's. Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy, and Dwight Eisenhower were the most popular first-term presidents.
Obama's first-term approval average, like those of most presidents with lower first-term averages, was likely dragged down by a sluggish economy. Clinton and Reagan saw higher second-term approval as the economy improved. Obama's approval rating has also shown improvement, with a 48.1% average in his fourth year in office after a 44.4% average in his third year.

States and regions across the country are adopting climate policies, including the development of regional greenhouse gas reduction markets, the creation of state and local climate action and adaptation plans, and increasing renewable energy generation. Read More
Over 30 States Establish Greenhouse Gas Registry
On May 8, 2007, more than 30 states signed on as charter members of The Climate Registry, a collaboration aimed at developing a common system for entities to report greenhouse gas emissions. The Registry will serve as a tool to measure, track, verify and publicly report greenhouse gas emissions consistently and transparently between states. Voluntary, market-based and regulatory greenhouse gas emissions reporting programs are all supported under the Registry. The founding member states and tribes include: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming and the Campo Kumeyaay Nation. The Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Manitoba have also joined the Registry. This collaboration is the largest national effort to date to track greenhouse gas emissions.

Washington State Sets Statewide GHG Emissions Targets, Performance Standard for Electricity
Washington State Sets Statewide GHG Emissions Targets, Performance Standard for Electricity
On May 3, 2007, Governor Christine Gregoire of Washington signed SB 6001, setting into law statewide greenhouse gas emissions reductions goals and strategies originally announced in a February 2007 executive order. The new law commits Washington to reduce statewide emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, 25 percent below 1990 levels by 2035, and 50 percent below 1990 levels by 2050, as well as to the creation of thousands of new jobs in the clean energy sector by 2020. The bill directs the Governor's office to develop policy recommendations for how the state can achieve these goals, including, among others, the possible implementation of market mechanisms such as a cap and trade system, carbon sequestration projects, replacing high-emitting electricity generation with newer technologies, and the improvement of regulatory and tax policies. The recommendations must be submitted to the legislature for consideration in 2008. SB 6001 also establishes a GHG performance standard for all new, long-term baseload electric power generation. Under the standard, all baseload generation for which utilities enter into long-term contracts must meet a greehouse gas emissions standard of 1,100 pounds per megawatt-hour beginning in July 2008.

Iowa Establishes Climate Advisory Council, GHG Emissions Registry
On April 27, 2007, Iowa Governor Chet Culver signed SF 485, establishing a Climate Change Advisory Council that will be composed of a range of Governor-appointed stakeholders, as well as members of the legislature. The council is charged with developing a range of scenarios for reductions of statewide greenhouse gas emissions, including the possibility of cutting emissions 50 percent by 2050, and recommending the best strategies for statewide emissions reductions. The council will submit its recommendations to the governor and the general assembly by January 1, 2008. SF 485 also creates a voluntary greenhouse gas registry to aid with the tracking and crediting of entities in the state that reduce their GHG emissions or that implement energy efficiency measures. The bill also requires the state to consider GHG emissions in reviewing proposals for new power plants.

Maryland Adopts California Vehicle GHG Emissions Standards, Creates Green Building Council, Adopts New Solar Energy Standard
On April 24, 2007, Governor Martin O'Malley signed SB 103, the Maryland Clean Cars Act, officially pledging Maryland to adopt California's greenhouse gas emissions standards for vehicles. California's standards are set to begin in the 2009 model year for cars and trucks and mandate a 22 percent reduction of tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions by the 2012 model year and a 30 percent reduction by the 2016 model year. Maryland will adopt similar standards for all vehicles sold and registered in the state beginning in 2011. The Act also establishes a Clean Car and Energy Policy Task Force to study vehicle emissions policies in other states, emerging technologies, and recommend strategies for alternative fuels and efficiency measures to improve state air quality.
On the same day Governor O'Malley signed two additional pieces of legislation to promote building efficiency and solar energy use. The first bill, SB 332 creates the Maryland Green Building Council, which will advise the governor and state legislators on how to use green building principles in state construction projects. The second, SB 595, expands Maryland's existing renewable portfolio standard to require that 2% of the state's electricity supply come from solar sources by 2022, in addition to 7.5% from other renewable sources by the same date. The bill also increases the maximum size of customer-owned, grid-connected power systems for net metering from 200 kilowatts to 2 megawatts and requires utilities to provide net metering for up to 1,500 megawatts overall for customer-owned generation systems. Net metering enables the sale of excess electricity back to the power grid.

British Columbia Joins Western Regional Climate Action Initiative
On April 24, 2007, Premier Gordon Campbell announced that British Columbia will become the first jurisdiction outside of the United States to join the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative, a joint effort to reduce regional greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change established in February 2007 by the governors of Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington. Under the agreement, the five states and B.C. will jointly set a regional emissions target by August 2007, and by August 2008 will establish a market-based system – such as a cap-and-trade program covering multiple economic sectors – to aid in meeting the target. The participants will also set up an emissions registry and tracking system. The initiative builds on work already undertaken individually by the participating states and B.C., each of which has already set its own emissions reductions goals.

Maryland Officially Joins Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, Establishes Climate Commission
On April 20, 2007, Governor Martin O'Malley of Maryland signed the Memorandum of Understanding for the Northeast Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), officially joining his state to the first multi-state greenhouse gas emissions cap-and-trade program in the U.S. Other participants include Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. As members of RGGI, states agree to a regional cap-and-trade program covering power plant carbon dioxide emissions. RGGI aims to cap these emissions at approximately current levels between 2009 and 2015, and then reduce this level 10% by 2019.
On the same day, Governor O'Malley signed an executive order establishing a Maryland Climate Change Commission that will create a state action plan to address climate change. The Commission will assess the possible impacts of climate change; calculate Maryland's contribution to the climate change problem; work together with various state agencies, energy providers, business leaders, and other groups to develop a greenhouse gas reduction strategy; and develop a plan for reducing the state's vulnerability to sea level rise and other effects of climate change.

Minnesota Climate Change Advisory Group Announced
On April 20, 2007, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty announced the Minnesota Climate Change Advisory Group (MCCAG), a 51-member group composed of representatives from business, utility, environmental, academic, and religious organizations. Private citizens, farmers, local government, and tribal leaders are also represented. The MCCAG is charged with developing a comprehensive set of state-level policy recommendations for reducing or sequestering greenhouse gas emissions. The Advisory Group will also identify opportunities to promote energy-efficient technologies and clean, renewable energy resources that will enhance economic growth. The formation of MCCAG was a key component of the state's Next Generation Energy Initiative, signed on December 12, 2006, which calls for more renewable energy, more energy conservation and lower carbon emissions. The Advisory Group's final report is due to the Governor and legislature by February 1, 2008.

State Climate Change Commissions
Executive or legislative commissions examine the possible consequences of climate change for a state and the costs and benefits associated with addressing them, and develop recommendations for appropriate policies.
Often building on the work of their commissions, states design climate action plans tailored to their specific circumstances, seeking the most effective way to address climate change.
Several states have begun implementing either mandatory or voluntary reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from major sources. The Climate Registry is a non-profit organization that aims to measure and publicly report greenhouse gas emissions in a common, accurate, and transparent manner consistent across industry sectors and borders.

Wisconsin Governor Creates New Global Warming Task Force, Office of Energy Independence
On April 5, 2007, Governor Jim Doyle of Wisconsin signed two new executive orders as part of the state's efforts to address climate change and energy issues. The first executive order creates the Task Force on Global Warming, which will investigate the potential economic and environmental impacts of climate change on Wisconsin and recommend possible solutions and strategies for greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the state. It will also work with other government agencies to derive an estimate of current statewide emissions. The Task Force will include members from business, industry, government, energy, and environmental organizations. In a second executive order, Governor Doyle created a new Office of Energy Independence which will coordinate efforts to bolster the state's bioindustry, energy efficiency, and energy independence initiatives. In collaboration with Wisconsin's Public Service Commission, the office will work with utilities to build a clean coal electric generation facility in the state.
West Virginia Establishes Greenhouse Gas Inventory
On April 4, 2007, Governor Joe Manchin III of West Virginia signed legislation establishing a new net greenhouse gas inventory for the state that covers emissions, reductions, and sequestration of six greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydroflurocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride. The inventory covers all major stationary, area and mobile sources, such as power plants, waste combustors, natural gas/oil systems, landfills, and waste water treatment facilities, highway and non-road sources, and agricultural sources and shall account for geologic and terrestrial carbon sequestration. The legislation also creates a registry for the reporting of voluntary reductions of greenhouse gas emissions if the reductions are made before they are required by law, and will include the development of criteria for establishing baseline emissions, quantifying emission reductions and providing public recognition of reductions.

Waterloo Daily Courier (Newspaper) - October 28, 1971, Waterloo, Iowa MINUTE Woman, showing well-dented car to garageman: "The fender's been acting up again." Established in 185S -4 Bill ...The Severin Politics With 1-380? A group of nearly 100 people from 10 northeastern Iowa counties who met at Oelwein the other night to whip up support for routing proposed Interstate Highway 380 from Cedar Rapids to Waterloo via an Inde- pendence dogleg of course have a perfect right to advance what they believe to be the interests of their respective com- munities. But there were aspects, of this meet- ing that were disturbing. Three of the ring leaders were State Senator Tom Riley, Cedar Rapids, who chaired the meeting; State Senator Clifton Lamborn, Maquoketa, who was listed as co chair- man; and State Senator John Walsh, Dubuque. AT FIRST GLANCE anyone familiar with Iowa geog- raphy would wonder what interest Sen. Lamborn, a resi- dent of Jackson County, or Sen. Walsh a resident of Du- buque County, could have in the specific routing of 1-380. Take a look at an Iowa map and it would appear to be inconceivable that anyone from Jackson County, located on the Mississippi River almost due east of Cedar Rapids, 'or anyone from Dubuque County to the north, would find occasion to travel on 1-380, no matter which of the three routes is selected. So why the great interest by Sen. Lamborn and Sen. Walsh? To find an answer to this question you might con- sider the fact that both of these gentlemen, along with Sen. Riley, have exhibited an interest in seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Congressman from the 2nd District. THIS CONGRESSIONAL seat is now held by John Culver, Cedar Rapids Democrat, who many people believe will vacate that position to challenge Jack Miller for a seat in the U.S. Senate, thus leaving the congressional chair wide open for such ambitious folk as Senators Riley, Lamborn or Walsh. Of the 10 counties represented at the Independence dogleg meeting, all are in the 2nd District with the excep- tion of Buchanan County, transferred to the 3rd District by congressional redistricting earlier this year. It would be unfortunate if the route of this major high- way is determined more by political pressures than by where the need is greatest. INCIDENTALLY, if many of the Northeast Iowa com- munities represented at the Oelwein meeting would study carefully the Iowa Highway Commission's plan for the Iowa freeway-expressway network, they might conclude that they are working against the best long range interests of the areas they represent. For included in the planned expressway-freeway sys- tem is an expressway that would be built almost due north of Cedar Rapids going through the heart of 10-county area. If 1-380 is built north to Independence it might mean the death of the planned north-south express- way. "Only a short tune ago we saw the Amana freeway dropped from Highway Commission plans because it would have paralleled an existing, north-south highway just a few miles away.

Rhys Sanderfield of Williamsburg was dead on arrival at University Hospitals in Iowa City. Terry Kahlar of Williamsburg and Bill Clay of North English, both 16, were reported in critical condition at the hospital. Inflation Victory Seen WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon forecast vic- tory Thursday in what he described as a head-on con- frontation with inflation in Phase 2 of his wage and price control program. The President's recorded report led off a wage-price discussion by top administration officials, carried by closed- circuit television to businessmen in 26 cities. The Na- tional Association of Manufacturers sponsored the presen- Nixon said the 90-day wage-price freeze due to end Nov. 13 has been "extraordinarily successful" and called on the businessmen to join with government in a post- freeze effort to revitalize the economy. Baffle Toll Drops SAIGON (AP) The U.S. Command announced Thursday that seven Americans were killed in combat in Vietnam last week, the third week in succession that less than 10 were killed. The level is the lowest in six years. The command's weekly casu- alty summary also reported 84 U.S. servicemen were wounded last week, equaling the wounded figure for the previous week. The seven combat deaths compared with five in the pre- vious week and eight the week before that. The U.S. Command also re- ported 32 Americans died last week from accidents and ill- ness, more than double the 15 deaths from nonhostile causes during- the previous week. The toll was the highest in one week since the last week of Febru- ary, when 37 such deaths were reported. A spokesman said the increase last week, was due in part to accidental helicopter crashes. The South Vietnamese com- mand reported 394 government troops were killed in battle last week and 700 were wounded, .compared with 391 killed and 919 wounded a week earlier. Nixon View Given Foreign Aid Bill Veto Is Possible WASHINGTON (AP) Pres- ident Nixon will have to veto the billion foreign aid bill unless restrictions on adminis- tration policies in Indochina are removed, Dr. Henry Kissinger was quoted as saying Thursday. "The administration would rather have no bill at all" than one which ties its hands on negotiating an end to the war in Indochina, Senate Republi- can Leader Hugh Scott told newsmen following a breakfast meeting between Kissinger, the President's top national secur- ity adviser, and a bipartisan group of senators. The Pennsylvania Republican said efforts were planned later Thursday to remove two amendments to the foreign aid that the White House finds ob- to cut off funds for all U.S. operations in Indochina except withdrawal and one to limit aid to Cam- bodia. Failure to defeat the two amendments probably would lead to an administration-back- ed effort to sidetrack the entire bill, which could draw support from senators who support the restrictive amendments but op- pose foreign aid. Scott said Kissinger told the senators that if the two amend- ments remain in the bill "he does not see how the President could find it possible to sign it." Denies 'Green Light' Scott denied the adminis- tration, through a series of de- nunciations of the United Na- tions expulsion of Taiwan, had flashed a green light for sena- tors seeking to cut U.S. finan- cial support of the world orga- nization. "There is no green or red an amber Scott said. The Senate also was sched- uled to act later in the day on amendments by Sens. James L. Buckley, Con-R-N.Y., and Peter Dominick, R-Colo., which would cut U.S. financial support to the United Nations. The amend- ments were introduced follow- ing the expulsion of Taiwan from the U.N. Monday night. Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., urged the Senate not to cut U.N. funds "out of petulance and irritation." Regardless of displeasure over the U.N. vote and the "bad taste" of delegates who celebrated the U.S. defeat, "this would be a very super- ficial way and a very demean- ing way "for a great country to show its Javits said.

Egypt Rejects U.S. Plan For Mid East Settlement Court Appeal Made WASHINGTON (AP) Envi- ronmental groups pinned their hopes Thursday on a new court appeal after President Nixon gave a go-ahead Wednesday to a huge underground nuclear blast at a North Pacific island. A three-judge panel heard an appeal from environmental groups about two hours after the Atomic Energy Commission announced the administration decision. The U.S. Appeals Court indicated it would decide quickly whether it should grant a stay to allow time for consid- eration of a permanent in: junction against the test. Meanwhile, Canada's foreign minister contacted Secretary of State William P. Rogers to ex-, press his country's "disquiet" over Nixon's decision. Both Canada and1 Japan have opposed the plan to explode a five-megaton atomic .warhead, designed for the Spartan anti- ballistic missile, some feet beneath Amchitka Island, in the Aleutian Islands chain of Alaska. Both nations said they fear such a blast might cause envi- ronmental damage, including leaks of radiation that could spread in ocean watsrs across international boundaries. Seven environment groups headed-fay the Committee for Nuclear Responsibility, also fearing environmental hazards, had sought a court injunction to bar the test. MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union announced Thursday Egypt has rejected a U.S. plan for an interim agreement on the Middle East Crisis. The news agency Tass said .in a dispatch from New York that the American proposal was a "diversionary maneuver... drawn up on terms that are quite unacceptable to Egypt." The agency report was the -public response by either the Russians or the Egyptians to the sixrpoint proposal. Secretary of State William P. Rogers outlined the plan at the U.N. General Assembly earlier this month. To Open Suez The plan was primarily de- signed to open the blocked Suez Canal and link an interim agreement with a permanent Middle East solution. The Egyptian rejection fol- lows the Kremlin's decision to increase arms shipments to the Arabs. Just one week after Rogers presented the plan, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat flew to Moscow for a meeting with Kremlin leaders. He was joined by his foreign minister, Mahmoud Riad, who previously had two private meetings with Rogers in New York. Not Outright Refusal Diplomats here said the Egyptian rejection the Ro- gers proposals was not an out- right refusal to reach some form of a temporary Middle East agreement. They recalled that the inter- im agreement concept was first advanced by Sadat himself .last February and that Cairo had given no indication it had changed its mind.- They said it was obvious both the Soviets and Egyptians had decided at the Kremlin meet- ings that Rogers terms were being turned down, not his over-all idea. The Kremlin coupled the re- jection announcement with a sharp criticism of what it called Washington's "unilateral diplomacy" and urged the United States to return to a four power search for an agree- ment. The Kremlin demanded that Washington give up its role as middleman and operate within the framework the four pow- er consultations. r A long article in the Commu- nist party newspaper Pravda by New York correspondent Tomas Kolesnichenko said: "In United Nations circles the im- pression is being created that American diplomacy is deliber- ately prolonging the Middle East crisis." The "extremely dangerous situation" in the Middle East demands that all available op- portunities are used to "liqui- date the results of Israel's ag- gression and find a political it added.

Troops Alerted as Inauguration Nears u.s.w A Thieu A SAIGON (AP) The U.S. Command Thursday ordered American troops in Vietnam on an increased alert for the week- end in anticipation of enemy at- tacks during the inauguration of President Nguyen Van Thieu. The alert is also intended to keep the American troops away from any hostile demonstrations by anti-Thieu forces who blame the United States for his unopposed re- election. "Intelligence indicates pos- sible increased enemy activity during the period, such as ter- ror, sapper and rocket and mortar said a spokes- man for the U.S: Command, Maj. Richard Gardner. Begins Friday- He said the alert would begin at 5 p.m. Saigon time Friday and would remain in effect at least through 5 p.m. Monday. Under the alert, called "gray U.S. troops can en- ter cities or towns only on es- sential official business, and ve- hicle movement outside U.S. in- stallations is limited to essen- tial travel. Similar alerts were declared during the National Assembly election last Aug. 29 and the presidential election Oct. 3. There have been 39 fire- bombings of U.S. vehicles in Saigon since early September, all of them believed to be the work of militant students op- posing Thieu and the U.S. sup- port of his government. Release Prisoners The government in preparation for the inauguration Thursday announced its biggest POW re- lease of the war, raising cautious hopes that the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong would reciprocate. The Defense Ministry said 618 "repentant" Viet Cong will be freed outright. It said another are being accepted into the government's "open arms" program for a brief period of political indoctrination after which they can return to their villages or work for the govern- ment in such fields as propa- ganda, psychological warfare and intelligence gathering. A communique said the pris- oners were being granted am- nesty to mark the inauguration Sunday of President Nguyen Van Thieu and South Vietnam's independence day anniversary on Monday. Sources at the presidential palace said earlier that Thieu would make, a new appeal for peace on Monday. Some reports said this would be a new in- itiative, while other sources in- dicated it would contain a re- newal of earlier calls for an im- mediate cease-fire as the first step toward a settlement. Hold POWs The South Vietnamese hold about prisoners of war, a little more than of them North Vietnamese. The U.S. Defense Department lists 462 known American prisoners of in North Vietnam, 79 in South Vietnam, three hi Laos and two in China. Another Americans are listed as miss- ing in action. Hopes for prisoner exchanges were given impetus three weeks ago when the Viet Cong released the first American it has set free in nearly two years, Sgt. John C. Sexton Jr., of Warren, Mich. The Viet Cong indicated they would welcome reciprocal action, and three days later South Vietnam freed a North Vietnamese. i ;

selves. Possibly the way has been shown by the Harwood Foundation in its Taos County project, an effort to bring the needs of the villages in a rural county into touch with the public and private agencies in a position to render practical and constructive aid in social as well as economic matters. The project has encouraged local leadership in practical programs of self-help in developing irrigation, correcting erosion, organizing health cooperatives, and improving schools, and it has met with conspicuous local success. Cooperative medical clinics and credit associations should work in any group with such a well developed community sense. The Spanish-American is larger than ever before in numbers; he is slowly becoming assimilated into the broader Anglo culture; he is making a noticeable imprint on that culture locally, and neither he nor his culture is by any means dead.
Ernesto Galarza
[The Mexican Americans proper have all the characteristics of recent immigrants. Having come from backward rural sections of Mexico and having distinctive racial features of their predominantly Indian ancestors, they find it difficult to assimilate into, or to be accepted by, the dominant American group. Although concentrated in Texas and California, they have spread throughout the entire Midwest, and have made their homes in urban as well as rural places in this country. Wherever they are, however, they are treated as the group furthest down, matched in low social status only by the Negroes. The author of this essay is one of the outstanding leaders of the Mexican group in the United- States. He presents a rather thorough analysis, in succinct and popular terminology, of several aspects of Mexican American life.]
The conditions of life and work of the Spanish-speaking minority in the United States are no longer a problem only of the borderlands. A historical process has been at work lifting this problem above local and sectional concern. It now involves communities as distant from the United States-Mexican border as Chicago, New York, and Detroit. It shows up in the rural slums that lie on an are stretching from Arkansas to northern California. It is____________________

I'm still fighting saddle comfort issues. I've been through half a dozen saddles, on a Defy Endurance bike on which I have been fitted. It turns out my sit bones are far apart, and I need a wide saddle - the common 140mm and 150mm wide saddles leave the bones hanging over, and are horribly uncomfortable. I resorted to trying a Bontrager Commuter Gel CRZ+, and it resolved the sit bone pain I was suffering, and despite the fact that it has a channel for soft tissue relief, the sides of that channel are still putting some pressure on the soft tissue, despite wearing padded shorts. I've lowered the saddle nose by 2°, and that has helped, but there is still pressure where, as I understand it, there shouldn't be any. I'm getting frustrated.
I'm beginning to wonder if I need to tinker with the fit - something I have been reluctant to do. The seat is already all the way forward on a zero offset post, and it is KOPS correct - I can't imagine I need to be more forward. The handlebar is all the way up. The saddle height, arm angle, leg angle, etc. are all correct as per the fitting. I've considered tinkering with all those parameters, though. Maybe lowering the seat, raising the sweep on the handlebar to raise the hoods, etc.
If anyone has any constructive suggestions or comments on things I might try, I would welcome them.

I just learned that I am pre-insulin resitant and now on medication
Monday, November 01, 2010
I was told that I needed to eat differently than this site is tellimg me to eat. Is there a way to get a different meal plan for pre-insulin resitance/pre/diabetes? I have NO idea what to do!!! I start Metformin tonight and hope that my stomach stays settled as this seems to be a common side effect.
I am being scared into fitness now...I really liked it better when I was just doing this because I wanted to...Now I NEED to do this...kinda overwhelming! I am just grateful that I started this when I wanted to so I now have a better idea of what I need to do before the added stress of my health issues...if that makes sense..
Update: The medicine has made me incredibly sick! I was sick to my stomach last night and all day long have been VERY tired, headache and breaking out in sweats...as if my sugar were low, but it not...weird and misrerable!

Sorry about your news. You have already gotten good information. I myself struggled FOR YEARS with really eating right and not losing weight. I attributed it to my thyroid problem. HOWEVER, in January 2010 I learned I was type 2 insulin resistant diabetic. Yes, it feels like the end of the world getting that news. But I am here to tell you it was, for ME, a brand new, healthier beginning. I had been eating good foods for the average Jane, BUT as was said, eating low carb (NOT NO CARB) has really been the key for me.
I initially started on a combination drg -- ActosPlusMet (contains Metformin). Between diet, exercise and this med my blood sugar is under control (started out @ 330 -- horrible!) I will say you should take that med with your evening meal to avoid the stomach distress. I took it that way and really didn't have any problems. As of about 2 weeks ago, I was switched to Metformin ER and have had no problems with it. My sugars have remained rock steady.
I do NOT relent on my nutrition or exercise. They are really key for me. You'll find your way. IN the meantime, ask questions. Fire away!!!

I am also on metformin and it helps me alot. I think from what I have read online is a lower carb and more protein diet is the way to go. I have found though that with all the exercise I am doing I am able to eat balanced and still lose, the metformin helps but the exercise is what they say is the key from my understanding.
Good luck.

Yes, you will need to look to start to limit foods that are breads, processed grains, starches and foods with sugar.
What you will find is that any one of the many "lower carb" nutritional plans are what you will be needing to follow, i.e. eating more whole fruits, whole grain breads, brown rices and whole grain pastas, beans/legumes/nuts, tons of veggies, lean meats, fish and poultry, and heart healthy fats. Basically staying away from processed white flour products, white rice, most potatoes and sugar.
Hope this helps!!!

I understand! You can sign up to the diabetic end of Spark People and they will lay out your calories, carbs, fats, and protein for 3 meals and 2 snacks. The important thing to concentrate on is the carbs. If you can do that and exercise, you will be just fine. It has been VERY helpful. With eating right, exercising, and the metformin I have gotten my numbers exactly where they should be in only 3 months. Walking almost every day, dropping 45 pounds has done the trick. YOU can do it too.

A scuffle at a Vancouver house party early Sunday could have ended up being much worse if the knife wound on a 19-year-old man's throat had been deeper, police said.
Shortly before 3:30 a.m., the teen and a man in his mid-20s began to fight while at a party of about eight people, Vancouver police Sgt. Jay Alie said. The party was at 12900 N.E. 50th St. in the North Image neighborhood.
When police arrived, they found the teen bleeding from his neck. The man in his 20s told police that he pulled a knife to stop the fight, but that the knife nicked the teen in the process, Alie said. The man with the knife was arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault, Alie said.
The teen's neck wound was about an inch long and a couple of centimeters deep, Alie said. The 19-year-old, who was alert and talking to authorities after the fight, was transported to a hospital with what ended up being a minor injury.
"The doctor said it could have been way worse," Alie said.
The teen was cited for being a minor in possession of alcohol, Alie said.
Alie said the fight did not appear gang-related and that the people at the house party knew each other, including the two men involved in the scuffle.
Police did not immediately release the names of the two men.
