U.S. oil output is surging so fast that the United States could soon overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's biggest producer. U.S. production of oil and other liquid hydrocarbons is on track to rise 7 percent in 2012 to an average of 10.9 million barrels per day. It's the fourth straight year of crude increases, and this year drillers are on track to post the biggest single year gain since 1951. (AP Photo/Gregory Bull, File)
Oil refineries on the East Coast of the U.S. are shutting down or throttling back in advance of a massive storm.
A Philadelphia refinery that is the biggest on the East Coast was scaling back. And the second-biggest East Coast refinery, a Phillips 66 operation in Linden, N.J., is shut down.
Oil prices have not moved much. They're down 30 cents to $85.98 in morning trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Traders are balancing two big risks. One is that the storm will damage refineries, , which normally would drive up gasoline prices. But, businesses are shutting down and people are staying home, which would reduce gasoline demand -- and prices.
Nationally, gasoline prices at the pump fell a half-penny from Sunday, to $3.453 per gallon.

Houston Ballet Lights up the Holidays with The Nutcracker
From November 29-December 29, 2013, Houston Ballet will bring Texas its most joyous holiday gift with its beloved production of Ben Stevenson's The Nutcracker, a Houston holiday tradition. A wonderful ballet for the entire family, The Nutcracker is the perfect way to introduce young children to the power and beauty of classical dance. Tchaikovsky's magical score, Desmond Heeley's fairytale scenery and Mr. Stevenson's vibrantly theatrical staging combine to create one of the most visually stunning productions of The Nutcracker in the world today.
The Nutcracker tells the story of a little girl named Clara who is given a magical nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve. She encounters the frightful rat king before embarking on a journey through the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets. Young and old alike will experience the production's many special effects, including the Christmas tree that "grows" to 40 feet, 200 pounds of "snow" falling during the snow scene and the firing of a canon on stage. Molly Glentzer, dance critic for the Houston Chronicle, wrote, "You'd have to be a Scrooge not to surrender to the spirit."

Yes Linus, Microsoft hating is a disease. And it's a pandemic
The submission by Microsoft of twenty thousand lines of code to the Kernel has, predictably, caused many an eyebrow to arch. The phrase "beware Greeks bearing gifts" comes swiftly to mind. I checked the press release. I also checked the calendar just to make sure I hadn't fallen into a wormhole and emerged back on April Fools Day. I hadn't. That reaction was probably replicated right across the free software community. Given Microsoft's track record it's hardly surprising. Perhaps what was more interesting was Linus Torvalds' reaction. After all, this is not an inconsequential flame war about using Gnome or KDE.

Into the Wild: Take Your Yoga Practice Outside
Winter is an interesting time for me — well, more specifically, an interesting time for my feet. I love summer because of the ease of slipping my toes into a pair of flip-flops and floppin' around unencumbered by shoes. In fact, during cold months I wear winter's flip-flop equivalent, moccasins; a shoe that is as close to a non-shoe as it gets.
In fact, one of the main reasons that I love teaching yoga as a profession is because I get to be barefoot for a living! There is something so freeing when my toes are unbound from the claustrophobic nature of high heels, tennis shoes, boots, mary janes … you name it! When my toes feel the freedom to roam, I find that my spirit has that same permission. The sense of adventure that I feel when I am liberated from the shackles of my shoes is only matched by the abundant bliss that I feel when I am out in nature, spontaneously and effortlessly awakened by the wild untamed natural world.
There is one exception to this no-shoe strategy I tend to live by: my hiking boots. When my feet inhabit these shoes, my sprit soars straight to its inherent wildness. Of course, it isn't the shoes, per se, that illicit this magnificent response, it is what the shoes represent: trees, trails, birds, bees, sunrises, sunsets, mountains, moose, rivers, rocks … you get the idea. This wildness is as much as state of being as it is a location, in the wild, animate world. When I'm not on my yoga mat, this is certainly where you will find me — winding my way through the wide-open woods.

Now that it is 2013, Amendment 64 is technically in effect, making it legal for people 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of marijuana and consume it in private.
Marijuana is still considered fully illegal by the federal government, however.
Despite federal disapproval, Colorado lawmakers are still hashing out how to regulate recreational marijuana use. That is likely to take at least until July, and then counties and municipalities will draft their own laws.
While legislators figure out the details, the Eagle County Sheriff and Eagle Police will abide by the books.
"By law, people 21 and older can have an ounce or less of marijuana in their possession," said Eagle County Sheriff Joe Hoy. "If we stop them and they're within the law - no problem."
That's assuming a driver is sober. If a person is under the influence of marijuana while driving or in possession of more than an ounce, "that is different," Hoy said.
Eagle Police Chief Rodger McLaughlin said they will honor the limited possession law as well.
"We'll handle it on a case-by-case basis," he said. "We're waiting on some administrative things. It could take months and months to figure out these administrative issues."
It's definitely not OK to use marijuana and drive, McLaughlin said.
"We consider using marijuana while driving to be in a public place and we will take action when it's appropriate," he said.
Meanwhile, the towns of Eagle and Gypsum are bracing for the change in state law.
At their meeting last week, Gypsum Town Council members emphasized that marijuana is not welcome there, as far as town employees are concerned.
"It might be legal for the rest of the world but it's forbidden to town employees," said Gypsum Town Manager Jeff Shroll. "We've always had a zero-tolerance policy."
Regarding marijuana businesses, that's not a possibility, Shroll said.
"We're going to hold the line just like we did with medical marijuana businesses," he said. "To get a business license in Gypsum, you have to sign an affidavit that says you comply with all local, state and federal laws - you can't sign it for a marijuana business because it's still illegal with the federal government. So we don't really have to do anything. We didn't even change the format of our business license for this - it's been the same for about 10 years."
The town of Eagle is slightly more receptive to the amendment and marijuana businesses, if only because one medical marijuana dispensary has already been operating there since 2010.
In 2010, the Eagle Town Board approved the Sweet Leaf Pioneer in a split vote. In February 2011, the town board reversed that decision and voted to ban medical marijuana operations in the community. The Sweet Leaf owners successfully petitioned for a special election to allow their business to remain open. In January 2012, Eagle voters passed the measure.
The Sweet Leaf Pioneer owners said they will try to get a retail license to sell marijuana when the time is appropriate.
Eagle Town Attorney Ed Sands said the town will need to draft its own code in response to the amendment but is waiting to see what the state government does. He said the town will accept applications for marijuana retail stores but it isn't a sure bet the stores will be allowed in town.
"The town board could decide to prohibit such stores or it could go to the voters for a decision," he said. "We also don't know what the federal government is going to do."
Sands said there are some municipalities that have some active bans on marijuana businesses already.
"The main issue we're looking into is how to prevent private marijuana clubs that have been opening around the state," he said.
A marijuana club is similar to a bar or night club where people can use marijuana in a place that is technically private, since "members" pay to gain access.
Sands pointed out that the state tobacco-smoking laws will also apply to marijuana. The law limits smoking in many public environments.

SAN JOSE -- In the 10 weeks since the Sharks' embarrassing playoff exit, general manager Doug Wilson has talked about how franchises sometimes need to take one step backward to take two steps forward, often referring to his team being in a "rebuild phase."
On Thursday, Wilson wanted to clarify his message and declared that he still has high expectations for next season.
"I never lowered the expectations of making the playoffs, because we're still a very good team," Wilson said.
His use of the term rebuild, Wilson added, applied to San Jose's hierarchy and culture -- not the more conventional usage that indicates a team focused on the future at the expense of the present.
"I can understand when people say there are different types of rebuild," he said. "We're not going to finish last to try and draft people first or second. This is not something this franchise can do, because we already have some good players in key positions. You're not going to see us with 50 points next year -- we're too good a team for that."
Wilson talked for more than 30 minutes in an exclusive interview after a conference call on the signing of new contracts for two defensemen -- a one-year, $1 million deal for veteran Scott Hannan and a two-year, $1.25 million deal for prospect Matt Tennyson.
Wilson described Hannan, 35, as a "great mentor for many of the younger players on our roster," a group that would include the 24-year-old Tennyson. When asked if it was a tough adjustment to accept his new role on a team going through a rebuild, Hannan said he was happy to help out in any way but challenged the premise.
"I'm coming here with the anticipation of playing, and we'll see where it goes from there," he said. "And I think we have a great shot at winning this year -- for everything."
Later, Wilson said that is what he wants to hear from his players.
"I expect this team to do well, but it doesn't really matter what I think. It's what they think, and they know what they need to fix in that room," Wilson said. "And I give them credit, they're doing it. They are talking to each other, they are taking ownership in some things."
What needed fixing, Wilson said the players told him, was a locker room where players looked at each other as co-workers and not teammates, an important distinction in a sport where individuals rely so heavily on one another to find success.
As part of the repair work, younger players -- Wilson mentioned Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture, Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Justin Braun specifically -- are being given greater responsibility on and off the ice as part of a rebuilt hierarchy. In fact, Wilson said, he expects the Sharks to be one of the NHL's most youthful franchises when the season begins.
"I said, yes, we'll take a step backward and we'll take a big step forward when everybody steps to the forefront," he said. "That will take place in September."

Dinner to Benefit Sheriff's Detective Zulaika "Zoe" Vizcarrondo
Published: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 6:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 6:28 a.m.
A benefit dinner tonight, with music by the Dock Seven duo, will aid a Polk County sheriff's detective who gave birth to her son three months premature.
The dinner starts at 8 p.m. at Earhart's Runway Grill in the Lakeland Linder Airport at 3900 Don Emerson Drive. The restaurant will donate 20 percent of its food proceeds today to Polk Sheriff's Charities for the detective and her family.
Detective Zulaika "Zoe" Vizcarrondo became seriously ill while six months pregnant, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Both she and her son, Juliano, are still hospitalized following his Dec. 20 birth.

Also, LED tech is still growing and traditional fresnels still have higher output. Mole Richardson is making LED replacements for some of their older fixtures. You may want to look into that.

PARKERSBURG - Students and community members gathered at Parkersburg High School Tuesday for the annual holiday lighting event.
The event featured performances by the Parkersburg High School A Cappella Choir, the Big Red Band, the Red Wings and McKinley Elementary School students.
The band, conducted by director Dan White, kicked off the night with traditional holiday songs. Student council president Ian Collins welcomed the crowd, gathered in front of the school, and introduced the next performers.

Santa Claus hands out candy canes at Parkersburg High School Tuesday after the tree lighting ceremony.
"We will now have a performance by the Parkersburg High School Red Wings," Collins said as the crowd began to cheer.
The group danced to "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" and the crowd gave a warm Christmas cheer.
The Christmas tree dedication was done by Cedar Grove United Methodist Church Pastor Brian Long. He read from Luke Chapter 2.
"There's something about this time of year; it's amazing" he said. "This Christmas season brings out the best in us."
Long reminded the crowd to look to family and forget about the negativity in the world. The peace that passes all understanding comes from Jesus, he said, the reason to celebrate at Christmas time.
Following the dedication, the PHS A Cappella Choir performed under the direction of Pamela McClain. The chorus, among the PHS voice class and freshman choirs rejoiced to the musical tunes of "Caroling, Caroling" and "Carol of the Bells."
The holiday illumination, candle lighting, was conducted as community members lit candles and lifted their voices to the sounds of "Silent Night."
The festivities concluded with a visit from Santa Claus to hand out candy canes to children and all in attendance.
Vice president of student council Beth Hall said it can be tricky to organize the event. Hall, a senior at PHS, has been involved in student council since she was a freshman and said she wished to become a bigger part of it by being an officer this year.
"We have to see when the band and choir aren't out singing and performing in the community," she said of setting up the event.
Collins said he is thankful to assist the community and school, especially with an event such as the tree lighting.
"It encourages you to improve things throughout the year," he said.
PHS Principal Pam Goots thanked the community for attending and the students for their work and involvement in the ceremony.
"I'm delighted to be a part of (the annual tradition)," said Goots. "It has been going on since the early '40s and you all are a huge part of that tradition."

The Missouri River Festival of the Arts Bike Tour is scheduled to depart from Boonville's Thespian Hall at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 18. In its 20th year, the social ride will cover a 42-mile rural stretch through both Cooper and Moniteau Counties. The event, a fundraiser for the Friends of Historic Boonville, Missouri River Festival of the Arts, will also offer an optional 10 miles set to benefit the Loop to Lupus. "We've had years where we've had up to 200 riders. Generally, we have around 120-130. A key to our event is that we're a supported ride that is viewed by some as a precursor to the MS150 that follows in September," said M.L. Cauthon, Chairman of the Arts Bike Tour. Cauthon was referring to a Columbia-based ride which raises money for Multiple Sclerosis causes. To be considered by readers questioning participating in what is potentially a fairly strenuous exercise venture, be aware – SAG vehicles patrol the route. More appropriately termed support and gear, they provide what their name suggests. "This is basically a supported charity ride. We'll have rest stops approximately every 10 miles. Often times, riders will find that this is a hefty ride, being 42 miles long. All the roads are well-paved and maintained, though," said Cauthon. Though calories consumed will be far-outweighed by the ride, and thus negligible, ice cream will be offered at the event's conclusion. In times past, cyclists have travelled from as far as Quincy, Illinois, according to Cauthon. More often, Kansas City, Columbia, St. Louis and Jefferson City send riders. "Frankly, we don't see a lot of Boonville riders, and we'd like to see that change," Cauthon said. Prior to August 15, registration is $20. After, add an additional $5 to the fee. For more information, call Friends of Historic Boonville at 660-882-7977 or 888-588-1477. Readers can also access additional information at www.friendsofhistoricboonville.org.

San Jose's Keilani Ricketts homered and drove in all four runs to lead Oklahoma to the NCAA softball championship Tuesday with a 4-0 victory and a two-game sweep of Tennessee in the Women's College World Series finals in Oklahoma City.
Ricketts, the national player of the year, drove a 2-1 pitch from Ivy Renfroe deep into the right-field bleachers for a three-run home run in the third inning and tacked on an RBI groundout in the seventh.
Ricketts got the night off in the pitching circle after throwing a career-high 12 innings in Game 1 and moving to 35-1 on the season, but that just put the other half of her well-rounded game on display. She hit her 15th home run of the season and pushed her RBI total to 60.
Ricketts said the Sooners were motivated by their loss to Alabama in last year's national championship series.
"That just gave us so much drive and determination to get back to this moment," she said.
College tennis
Stanford junior Nicole Gibbs has been named the Honda Sports Award winner for women's tennis for the second consecutive year, the Collegiate Women's Sports Awards announced Tuesday.
Gibbs becomes one of 12 finalists from 12 sports for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year, which will be presented June 24 in Los Angeles.
Gibbs, who has announced she will turn professional and skip her senior season, successfully defended her NCAA singles title last month after helping Stanford capture the team title.
She was the first Stanford player to repeat as singles champion since Amber Liu (2003-04).
Gibbs went 24-4 this season, including 17-4 in duals, playing all of her matches at No. 1 singles. She won her final 14 matches and took all six of her postseason matches in straight sets.

Members of the Eagle Town Board began 2013 budget talks Tuesday night by setting guidelines for the spending plan and noting that a decision by Gypsum means a roughly $400,000 hit.
Earlier this year, members of the Gypsum Town Council informed their Eagle counterparts that they would be ending the Costco revenue sharing agreement in 2013. The agreement dates back six years and splits unencumbered sales tax revenues from the Costco retail block at roughly 60/40, with 40 percent going to Eagle. However, the deal did not mean Eagle collected $40 from every $100 in sales tax generated at the big box store.
According to Gypsum Finance Director Mark Silverthorn, Gypsum was required to earmark .8 percent of its sales tax revenue for law enforcement services and an additional 1 percent for the Gypsum Recreation Center debt. The town also negotiated a debate incentive with Costco. As a result, the 60/40 cost share comes into play after these required deductions and the end result is lower. For every $100 in sales tax revenues from the Costco site, last year Eagle received $16 through the cost share deal.
With that revenue source now projected to be 0 for 2013, Eagle's operating fund revenues over expenses is projected to drop from $377,000 in 2012 to just $24,000 in 2013. However, Eagle Town Manager Willy Powell also noted that the town has built a healthy fund balance over the past few years, which will help Eagle absorb the revenue share loss. In 2011, the fund balance was $1 million. This year it is projected at $962,000 and in 2013, it is projected at $782,000.
Of course the town's other alternative is to cut spending, but an ambitious capital project and a set of budget guidelines complicate that option.
Eagle's big ticket item in the 2013 budget is $3 million for the Eby Creek Road project. Eagle has saved up that money for several years as the town's contribution to the $17 million project.
The town is partnering with the Colorado Department of Transportation and the Eby Creek Road project has also received funding from federal and county sources. When completed, the plan will include construction of four new roundabouts, improvements to the existing roundabout, a new pedestrian bridge over Interstate 70 and various landscape and sidewalk improvements. Construction is slated to begin this summer and completion is scheduled in 2014.
Along with funding for the Eby Creek Road project, five guidelines are steering the town's spending plan for 2013:
• Avoid layoffs
• No wage increases
• Sustain program levels
• Achieve objectives as resources allow
• Account for a succession plan
With those goals accounted for, the town does not have to cut spending, but the revenues over expenditures drop to just $24,000.
On Tuesday, the board did not launch into a detailed discussion of program funding but they did briefly discuss the succession plan issue and personnel decisions that will affect the overall budget numbers.
Both Powell and longtime Eagle Town Clerk and Finance Director Marilene Miller are planning to step down from their positions in 2013. As the town looks to hire new staff, the initial thought is to replace the two jobs with three positions - manger, town clerk and finance director. That will have budget implications. Additionally, the board wants to allow for a transition period so that Powell and Miller can help train the new hires. The budget includes $20,000 for recruitment and additional salary costs.
In looking at the budget, Trustee Brandi Resa suggested cutting back insurance and retirement benefits for employees to cut expenses. She said private business often has to make those decisions.
"It does hurt morale but its something, as a board, we should look at," she said.
"I think we can look at it, but I am very hesitant to do that," responded Mayor Yuri Kostick.
Powell noted that most of the town's employees earn below the medium household income level for the community ($62,750 according to 2010 U.S. Census) and that cutting insurance benefits would be a big impact on people earning modest salaries. He also noted that while private businesses may choose to cut back benefits during hard times, they have much more flexibility than government has to provide bonuses or revenue sharing when times are good.
"I am 100 percent against cutting any employee benefits," said town board member Scott Turnipseed. "We need to focus on how to increase revenues."
Town board members noted that in the long term, the recently approved Eagle River Station project will provide more sales tax revenue to the town. In the shorter term, members noted they wanted to focus on community marketing efforts and conservative spending.
And as they looked at ways to make up for the approximately $400,000 Costco revenue sharing loss, town board member Joe Knabel offered a more positive way to look at the situation. He noted that while revenues over expenses will dip to only $24,000 in 2013, Eagle will be able to sustain its spending without assistance from the neighboring community. That's important to note, he said, because the revenue sharing agreement was always a year-to-year deal that could be stopped at any time, as demonstrated by Gypsum's decision to end it in 2013. Knabel said now the town needs to look at ways to increase its revenues independently.
The town board will continue its 2013 budget review during a special meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 30.

Today is the last day to register for Missourians who want to vote in the upcoming August primary.
Secretary of State Robin Carnahan says in a news release that Missourians need to be registered by Wednesday if they want to take part in the Aug. 7 primary election. Randolph Countians may register in the office of County Clerk Will Ellis at the Huntsville courthouse until 4 p.m.
Carnahan says residents can register in person or by mail, and a mailed voter registration application has to be postmarked by the July 11 deadline in order to cast a ballot in August.
In addition to other races, Missouri Republicans will be voting in the primary to select a candidate to run against incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat. GOP candidates for that race include businessman John Brunner, former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman and Cong. Todd Akin.

"Recently moved so order these pretty address labels. Was very pleased with them. The labels I ordered are simple, elegant, modern, traditional but everyday useful. Delivery was very quick, arrived 3 days after I ordered. Will be ordering from Tiny Prints again in the near future."
"These labels came quickly and packaging was protected great. They were very easy to order , instructions were clear! Nice quality labels and was perfect for a New Home Gift!"
"These traditional return address labels are very elegant and have a touch of an era gone by. At first I thought the dark outer border would be too much and make the label look heavy, but half of the label stays with the paper, so the size is less thick. I really love these labels and will get some more for the Holidays"
"This label really dresses up a simple white envelope. Combined with the matching announcement, it makes for a classy looking presentation. Very satisfied!"
"This address label is very classy and quality of the product is fabulous. The personalization process was easy, understandable and the staff members reviewed before it was printed."

Tuesday's letters: Armed citizenry
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 6:35 p.m.
To the editor: An overriding principle for an armed population (militia) is to be able to take our government back and re-establish it when it irresponsibly moves toward anarchy or a monarchy restricting the peoples inalienable rights. Ball and powder were once equal between the people and the armies. Today to be equal to the armies, the people do have a need for automated arms.
Noah Webster: The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops. (360 million arms today.)
Thomas Paine: Are we brought to such humiliating depreciation that the people cannot be trusted with arms for our defense?
William Rawles: No clause in the Constitution could give Congress any power to disarm the people.
Thomas Jefferson: (1) No free man shall ever be disbarred the use of arms. (2) The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves from the tyranny of their Government. (3) The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants.
Any questions?
Roger Stark
Clock dilemma
To the editor: There appears to be a bit of controversy regarding the idea of putting a clock tower in Hendersonville. Has the council ever considered the possibility of a steam clock? Anyone who has been to Vancouver may have seen the worlds first steam-powered clock in Gastown, located in the historic section of the city. This has proven to be a big tourist attraction due to the uniqueness of its operation, especially when it chimes on the hour.
This clock was designed and built by Raymond Saunders of Vancouver, whose vision is to create public clocks that will foster civic pride and leave a legacy of usefulness for generations to come.
Could this be an answer to the citys clock dilemma as well as a unique tourist attraction?
Mimi Licursi
To the editor: Liberals always represent themselves as sweet, wonderful people bedeviled by rude ignoramuses who really need to be controlled. Take two sweet, wonderful letters lately.
SW 1: I promise you, the left has not put out hateful language. Really? Did she see the letter consisting almost entirely of evil, hateful and ignorant? How about columnist LeRoy Goldmans expressions? (Crazy, zany, bitter, simpleton, malignant, zealots.)
SW 2 demands ignorant, bigoted, intolerant letters, saying things like a good Christian man, not be published! Wow! For centuries that has been a fine compliment. Now its forbidden? If so, theres no word the perfervid SW mind cannot twist into hate speech. This is precisely the totalitarian mindset, to de-legitimize and silence opposition.
To avoid slip-ups, SW 2 should provide the entire list of forbidden words in Newspeak. Already, we only appear to speak the same language; words have been redefined, some proscribed.
Looking forward, therell be no end to this. The divide has become an unbridgeable chasm. We cant comprehend each other. We have different values, different goals, different conceptions of reality, of the nature of man, and his relation to government. Were essentially two separate peoples occupying the same territory. Somethings gotta give.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - I have an adopted dog named Ranger. He's a great dog, but walking him can be very frustrating because he obsessively smells everything. I feel like I'm constantly yanking the leash to get him to keep walking. What can I do to make our walks less of a battle?
- Ranger's Dog Walker
Dear Dog Walker,
It sounds like you and Ranger have different ideas about what constitutes a nice walk. A better understanding of your dog's sense of smell will help you appreciate why he stops so much during your walks. We have about six million scent receptors in our nose. A sheepdog has more than 200 million receptors and a beagle more than 300 million. Furthermore, dogs smell at a molecular level allowing them to dissect a complex odor into smaller parts. Alexandra Horowitz, author of "Inside of a Dog," offers the analogy that a dog can smell a teaspoon of sugar in one million gallons of water, the equivalent of two Olympic size pools!
When a dog is actively smelling something, their brain is fully engaged in the task at hand. During your walks, Ranger is checking out his environment through his nose. During your next walk, try to relax and put Ranger's nose to work. Take him on "smell walks" where you let him determine the pace and path of the walk in order to fully take in the environment. This could be the most fulfilling part of his day! If you don't have time for a leisurely walk, stop occasionally and let Ranger sniff. Teach a "let's go" cue to use when it's time to move on. Say "let's go" in a happy voice and when he looks up, reward him with a great treat.
You can also help Ranger use his nose around the house. Hide his morning kibble around the house instead of feeding it from a bowl. It will keep him busy and mentally active when you leave the house and he will likely need a good nap after finding all the food.
You can develop Ranger's natural scenting abilities through the sport of K9 Nosework. Nosework teaches a dog to find scents using increasingly difficult games. Dogs work one at a time, so even shy or reactive dogs can do it! No prior training is required and all you need is a few empty boxes to practice at home. Nosework classes are offered at The Savvy Dog Training and Education Center (www.thesavvydog.net)

HOUSTON (December 2, 2012)--Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush, 88, remains in stable condition at a Houston hospital, but a lingering cough related to bronchitis should keep him there through the weekend, spokesman Jim McGrath said.
"He still has the cough and we're now not expecting him to be discharged this weekend," he said.
He said doctors at Methodist Hospital are "going to play it safe there for obvious reasons."
The 41st president has been in and out of the hospital recently for complications from bronchitis.
Aides had expected his discharge soon, but McGrath said "the cough has taken longer to clear up" than anticipated.
Hospital visitors have included Bush's son, former President George W. Bush, and his wife Laura, who live in Dallas.

The economy is booming in Dickinson, N.D., a community whose population was similar to Marietta's a couple of years ago, but has grown by 30 percent since 2010 and is still increasing, thanks to North Dakota's oil-laden Bakken shale deposits.
McDonald's workers in Dickinson earn $15 to $20 an hour with benefits; truck drivers start out at $34 an hour, and workers in their 20s can make between $100,000 and $150,000 a year in the oil fields, according to Steve Sprague, a former Tunnel resident and Waterford High School ag science instructor.
"This is what's coming to Marietta-and sooner than you think," said Sprague, 62, who moved to the Dickinson area a year ago after learning jobs there were prosperous and plentiful.

A horizontal hydraulic fracturing operation can be seen in the distance, along with a more conventional water well in the foreground near the town of Dickinson, N.D. Oil and gas companies retrieving oil from North Dakota's Bakken shale beds have sparked a booming economy in that area that some say could be similar to what's coming to Washington County.
He's now a supervisor for Six Gun Hotshot, a small trucking company that does a lot of business with a number of oil and gas companies that have established horizontal hydraulic drilling operations in that area.
"My boss is 32 years old and started the business in 2007 with a single truck and a 'hotshot' (a dually pickup towing a trailer)," Sprague said. "Now he has five hotshots, five semi trucks, and a crane-hauling truck. We work in North Dakota but are also pushing into Wyoming, Montana and Canada."
He said the success enjoyed by the company has become typical of businesses in the Dickinson area.
Fact Box
Some of the shale industry's impacts on Dickinson, N.D.:
The city has no bonded indebtedness.
Unemployment was at 1.5 percent in July.
Population increased from 17,787 in 2010 to 23,000 in 2012.
The city budget increased from $21 million in 2010 to $73.4 million in 2012.
Sales tax revenue jumped from $3 million in 2010 to a projected $8.6 million this year.
In 2010 the average 2-bedroom home rented for $600. In 2012 the same facility rented for $2,000.
There were 854 hotel rooms in 2010. In 2012 there were 2,711 rooms built or planned.
Source: City of Dickinson 2012 report, Opportunities in Dickinson.
"Every business is booming," Sprague said. "It's unbelievable. There are signs all along the roadways, advertising for help wanted, and people from all over the country are going to North Dakota to work. There's a lot of work, and not enough people."
But he said the growing prosperity does have some drawbacks.
"Anyone going there should be sure and do their homework on the area first," Sprague said. "It can be difficult to find a place to stay-hotels are filled, and some folks end up living in their cars or small trailers. Some of the oil companies have built 'man camps' near the drilling sites where employees can stay while working 12-hour shifts with two weeks on and two weeks off."
He said housing is probably the biggest concern in the Dickinson area right now, and noted one-bedroom apartments are renting for $750 to $1,200 per month, plus utilities, and homes with three or four bedrooms may rent from $2,750 to $4,500 a month.
Marietta Area Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Charlotte Keim said the housing impact of the shale industry moving into the Mid-Ohio Valley is already being felt here.
"The president and CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce was here this week, and we spent some time talking about the shale development," she said. "It's already happening here, and the first sign was an increase in the local bed tax collection."
The bed tax, or city hotel/motel tax, has been growing in the last few years, and is expected to generate more than $960,000 by the end of 2013.
Keim said hotel and motel rooms have been filled throughout the week as oil and gas company representatives began arriving in the area to look at land availability and analyze the mineral potential in local Utica and Marcellus shale beds.
"Two years ago I started receiving phone calls from oil and gas workers in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio who were having problems finding housing," Keim said. "Some of our surrounding counties have no lodging facilities, so they came here."
She said some advance shale workers want to bring their families here and need housing during the one or two years they'll be working in the area.
"Those initial people have the specialty skills needed to get the shale process set up, and after a couple of years they'll go back to their homes or move on to the next job site," Keim said.
But as companies hire more permanent workers, the housing demand will increase.
"We're already seeing that, too," Keim said. "The demand is turning housing from a buyer's to a seller's market. And overall that's good because people will begin upgrading and improving their existing housing for sale."
She said anyone who wants to take advantage of employment opportunities with the oil and gas industry should be obtaining the needed skills now.
"They should start doing some research about the industry and what jobs are needed," Keim said, adding that obtaining a CDL license could be a good start as truck drivers are already in demand by some shale companies in this area.
And training for oil and gas industry jobs is already available at local facilities like Washington State Community College and the Washington County Career Center.
Sprague said work in the "oil patch" is hard and goes on 24/7, but anyone willing to put in the effort stands to make a lot of money in a relatively short period of time.
The economic boom has brought other unexpected issues to the Dickinson area, too.
"You have to make an appointment two weeks ahead of time to have an oil change for your car," Sprague said. "One local tire shop had to add five or six new bays, and they still can't keep up with the demand for tires."
Gasoline prices also tend to be higher in the Dickinson area. He said some locals will drive across the border into Wyoming where they can buy gas 50-cents cheaper than in town.
Sprague said shale oil and gas companies are now setting up shop in the Mid-Ohio Valley, drilling wells into the Appalachian region's mineral-rich Marcellus and Utica shale beds.
"It's happening here, and the best thing you can do is have the infrastructure ready when companies start bringing their equipment in," Sprague said.
Washington County began developing a road use maintenance agreement (RUMA) last year that holds drilling companies responsible for maintaining county and township roadways that may be damaged by heavy equipment and increased truck traffic.
"The infrastructure can take a beating from that traffic," said county engineer Roger Wright.
He noted that state highways are generally pre-designed to handle heavy traffic, but many county and township roads have developed over years from original trails and pathways into gravel and paved roadways.
"We have a road use maintenance agreement with drilling companies," Wright said. "For example, PDC is currently putting stone on roads in Adams Township leading to their drilling sites. The county wants to reach out and work with all of the drillers who plan to operate here."
He said the Ohio County Engineers Association provides a venue where counties can share their experiences about dealing with the shale oil and drilling industry across the state.
"We're still in the infant stage here, so we're trying to learn as much as we can from other counties," Wright added. "But in my opinion taxpayer funds should not have to be used to pay for road repairs that are caused by heavy drilling equipment. Those industries should be responsible. That's why it's important that we obtain road use maintenance agreements with the shale companies."
Marietta city engineer Joe Tucker said the city is already seeing an increase in the number of trucks traveling on city streets.
"We've talked about a road use maintenance agreement for the city to help protect any impact on our streets, and we're currently looking at establishing a wellhead protection plan for our drinking water wells as a precautionary measure," he said.
Tucker noted the city is also continuing to work on major intersection improvements along the Ohio 7 and Pike Street corridor which will help ease traffic congestion that could be generated by additional vehicles on the road due to projected growth from the oil and gas industries.

For over six decades, Ducks Unlimited has maintained a singleness of purpose that has guided the organization to become the leading waterfowl and wetlands conservation entity in North America. Dynamic and responsive leadership by staff and volunteers, working together, has assured that DU's work evolved in response to the ever-changing pressures on waterfowl and the habitats upon which they depend throughout their annual cycle.
From time-to-time, DU has re-evaluated its future path to make sure it is in tune with the needs of waterfowl and wetlands conservation. This strategic plan represents the most recent iteration of such a self-assessment conducted by staff and volunteers to assure that the organization is effectively in pursuit of its mission.
DU believes that solutions to fundamental problems must be anchored in the most up-to-date scientific understanding of waterfowl and the habitat resources to which they are intimately tied. Thus, this plan has been guided by a thorough review of our current knowledge of the biological issues affecting the birds and their habitats.

Gold Bugs Getting Impatient
When it comes to Old Yeller, investors are starting to get restless.
Last week, global gold exchange-traded funds — such as the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) — suffered their largest outflow since January 2011, according to ETF Securities and a phenomenon noted in an email by Michael Shaoul of Marketfield Asset Management. The liquidation sparked a fairly sizable selloff, with the precious metal falling below $1600 an ounce and touching a seven-month low. From Shaoul:
There are finally some signs of impatience amongst global gold ETF holders with the total ounces of the metal held in global ETFs falling by -1.36mm oz, or -1.62% over the course of last week, to 82.3 mm oz. This is the largest weekly fall since the week ended January 28th 2011 when -1.65mm oz (-2.37%) were redeemed from global ETFs.
That said, gold holdings are still higher than they were in late July 2012, Shaoul notes. At that time, gold prices were comparable to where they are today, although holdings in the precious metal "started to be amassed aggressively in response to both the euro crisis and the belief that the [Fed] would unveil QE3 over the summer," he said.
Gold prices recently rose 1% to $1588.70 an ounce. The metal fell as low as $1572.80 on Friday. Last week data released by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission showed hedge funds and other investment managers were shorting gold in record numbers.
Technical factors have also weighed on the precious metal. On Friday, a death-cross formation took place as the asset's 50-day moving average cut below its 200-day moving average. Gold is also set to enter what has typically been a tough month for returns. Gold has averaged about a 2% decline in the month of March since 2000, the worst performing month of the year.
"Clearly much now rests on gold's ability to stay above its key support which is created in a wide range between $1,525 and $1,575," Shaoul said. "We would have expected the first test of this support to result in a bounce but we are equally unsurprised that the metal has thus far been unable to repair the damage from last week.
"If ETF holders continue to trim holdings the odds of the metal holding on to support will start to dim appreciably."
UPDATE: Dow Jones' Francesca Freeman reports:
Investors have been dumping their gold ETF holdings in favor of most industrially-linked metals in recent weeks as global risk appetite has increased, says ETF Securities. Last week, gold ETF funds recorded $290 million of outflows, the highest level in over two years, the firm says. Meanwhile, physical palladium ETF holdings saw their largest inflows in history, at $29.8 million, it says. "The fundamental outlook for PGMs remains solid, particularly for palladium," ETF Securities adds. "With supply disruptions a persistent concern in South Africa and autocatalyst demand showing signs of recovery, palladium appears well placed for gains."

Everybody's heard of the clerk-recorder's job, but few people fully understand it. It's really three jobs in one, said Steve Weir, who's about to retire after 23 years at the post for Contra Costa County.
In overseeing the registrar's office, he manages voter registration, ballot petitions and elections. As recorder, he safeguards deeds and property records. As clerk, he is the custodian of birth, death and marriage certificates.
To do the job correctly, he said, you need to be detail-oriented, politically neutral and perseverant. ("You don't know the job until you've been here eight years," he said. "You need to go through two gubernatorial and presidential primary and general elections.")
To apply for the job, on the other hand, the demands are simpler.
"The requirements for office are minimal: at least 18 years old, registered voter, resident of the county," Weir said. "It's the Jacksonian theory that anybody can do it."
For that reason, Human Resources Director Ted Cwiek expected a larger number of candidates than the 18 who applied to succeed Weir. "We sometimes get hundreds and hundreds of applicants for one position," he said.
But if the number is a surprise, so is the unlikely pool of characters whose application will be reviewed by county supervisors beginning Tuesday. One of them most recently was a bus driver, another a security guard. A third was an assistant manager at a storage facility and a fourth a salesperson at a department store. They must think Andrew Jackson was right.
Those are honorable professions, to be sure. Any work is good work, as they say. But they don't resonate as training grounds for safeguarding vital documents and preserving election integrity.
Also among the field are four residents of other counties, which not only disqualifies them but suggests they are not terribly detail-oriented.
Weir says the ideal candidate should be someone willing to stay for the long haul because the duties of the office take time to digest. Oops, that might wipe out another applicant whose résumé shows three different jobs in the last three years.
Presumably, someone from among the unlikely 18 will rise to the top during the next several weeks -- interviews are scheduled for Feb. 26 and an appointment for March 19 -- but for now the list seems top-heavy with not-ready-for-prime-time players.
It's no surprise that people from all walks of life have thrown their hats in the ring. A salary of nearly $150,000 is enough to make anybody take an interest in the job. Less understood, Weir suspects, are some of the rigors of the position.
"You're managing a fair chunk of money -- a $14 million budget -- and the equivalent of 86 full-time employees," he said. "The big thing is conducting elections," he said. "I think most people understand going to the polls. I'm not sure they understand having to recruit 2,500 poll workers and coming up with 600 poll sites."
But 18 people are willing to give it a whirl. One of them -- perhaps the most unexpected of all -- is Weir's older brother, Jack Weir, a Pleasant Hill councilman.
"My brother's entering this was an absolute surprise," Steve Weir said.
It won't be the last one. Wait until the supervisors come across the résumé of one candidate who prepped for running county elections by working as a camp counselor the last six years.

I love my GE double oven. It cooks very well. Only thing is if you spill something on the cooktop it burns quickly and is hard to clean if you let it sit. so you need to clean the spill ASAP. Also top oven rack is hard to pull out if the rack is on the bottom. Other than that great stove!

This unit is only a year old and I have encountered a lift in the corner of bottom door. The stainless steel is curling at the bottom of the door, has any one else out there had this particular problem? I love the looks of this range and its operation but am dissapointed at the flaw and the fact that it could lift even more.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My bicycle is our second car. I love to bicycle in all weather, for all distances, and on all routes. Bicycling has brought so much joy to my life, and I want to share it with anyone who is interested. I will use my soapbox to tell you about the joys, the freedom, the benefits, and, yes, the challenges of bicycling and walking for transportation.
Last year was an exciting time to be a bike/ped advocate because of the federal transportation bill, MAP-21. It was a roller coaster ride of attacks and advocacy alerts. Did we succeed or fail? Bike/ped funding is half what it used to be, so some think we failed. But we saved bike/ped funding at all in the face of attacks from powerful House leadership! That may signal a change in attitude about the legitimacy of bicycling and walking.
This year's battleground is on the state level with MoDOT's quest for reliable and adequate funding. The proposed 1% sales tax will be historic because it incorporates bicycling and walking into our transportation funding system for the first time ever. (Most of my information—and interpretation of events—is from MoBikeFed. This is why I'm a member—and why I donate annually!)
Currently, bike/ped facilities by law receive no funding from the state road fund. The new law will fund transportation, not just roads and bridges. In addition to roads and bridges, transportation will include mass transit, railroad, waterway, aviation, and bike/ped.
Will that mean an increase in bike/ped funding? Probably, although there's no guarantee. What it does mean is that bike/ped funding will no longer be subject to annual debate in the legislature and a yearly act of congress.
The 1% sales tax proposal seemed to have solid support in the Senate and we thought the tricky part would be getting it through the House. We had mixed feelings about a move to tack on a 15% set-asidefor transit and bike/ped. While a positive move for bike/ped, the 15% set-aside could hurt its chances of passing the voters.
You see, if it passes the House and Senate and is signed by the Governor, it won't be a law yet. Missouri voters will then decide in November if it will be law. All this activity is just to get it on the ballot! Anything that complicates the bill will confuse voters. So I wasn't too disappointed when the 15% set-aside amendment wasn't even debated in the House. Simply talking about the 15% set-aside did a lot to raise awareness of bike/ped issues.
Surprisingly, it wasn't in the House that the 1% sales tax stumbled. It passed the House on Tuesday in a split non-partisan vote of 100 to 57. (Kirksville's Rep. Nate Walker voted for it!) With that out of the way, we breathed a sigh of relief. The Senate vote should be practically a formality. But no one expected a filibuster!
I have to leave you with that cliff hanger, but I don't know the final outcome yet. The bill has been filibustered in the Senate but negotiations are hot and heavy as the end of the session looms near (Friday). Will we vote on a 1% sales tax in November? Or will MoDOT crumble, along with our highways and our hopes for bike/ped?

2.3-3 Knowledge -- § 53a-3 (12)
Revised to December 1, 2007
A person acts "knowingly" with respect to conduct or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense when (he/she) is aware that (his/her) conduct is of such nature or that such circumstance exists. An act is done (knowingly / with knowledge) if done voluntarily and purposely, and not because of mistake, inadvertence or accident.
Ordinarily, knowledge can be
established only through an inference from other proven facts and
circumstances. The inference may be drawn if the circumstances are such that a
reasonable person of honest intention, in the situation of the defendant, would
have concluded that <insert factual statement of the crime charged; for
example: "the instrument was forged">. The determinative question is
whether the circumstances in the particular case form a basis for a sound
inference as to the knowledge of the defendant in the transaction under inquiry.

As a result of an educational project undertaken by WCU students at The American Helicopter Museum in West Chester, the museum is being honored at the second annual History in Pennsylvania (HIP) awards ceremony on October 24.
Last fall, students in Professor Robert Kodosky's "Varieties of History" and "Modern American Military History" courses produced scripts for the museum�s audio guides explaining the history, mission and technology behind some of the museum�s 35 civilian and military helicopters, autogiros or convertiplanes. Each guide was checked for accuracy by local experts and targeted to the museum�s visitors by age group, namely, young children, teenagers and adults.
The HIP Awards are presented by a program of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania to recognize exceptional educational and public programs, community partnership projects and stewardship and collections care.
