Man fatally shot in Niles
Killed in alleged burglary attempt
July 13, 2013
NILES — A Mineral Ridge man was fatally shot early Friday morning, apparently by the resident during a burglary attempt, police said. Niles police were called about 12:30 a.m....
It's very telling that someone does'nt want to focus on the legal implications of this shooting. All my comments have been deleted and not one violates Tribune policy!
I will simply re-post them later...

Vampireweekend you are EXACTLY right. There is no shoot to injure in my book if someone is breaking into my house late at night. I'd much rather the law listen to one of side of the story, the truth, instead of some wounded criminal making up some BS that he was stopping by to borrow some eggs for the cake he was making. Try to break into my house, I'll unload the whole clip, all 17 rounds, which is the LAWFUL and PROPER amount of rounds that law abiding citizens should be able to carry, not 10.

I'd like to know what the victim saw through the two doors to shoot through them. The key to shooting someone breaking into your house is that you have to be in emminent fear of your life.

There is a saying that I live by " shoot until the event is over". The last witness you want is the one you just shot! One shot.....no way! Empty that clip, after all you are in fear of loosing your life.....aren't you?? As a gun toter myself, all I will say is threaten my life, pay with yours.

I have heard of cases like that to where the home owner was then sued for protecting the property.I dont think they should be allowed to sue when they were the ones doing the crime. If the evidence comes out the home owner was in the right then. Out where we live the trumbull county would take 30 mins to an hour to get to us I would not wamt to wait that lomg especially with the fact you dont know that they are armed

The only thing that bothers me more than wp's original comment is that 4 people actually agree with it. If you are breaking in my house, prepare to die. How do you know if the bad guy has a gun or not? I'm not waiting around to find out. Believe me I will get off the first 10 shots.

Just like the sign on my doors says. "DUE TO THE SHORTAGE AND PRICE OF AMMUNITION, A WARNING SHOT WILL NO LONGER BE GIVEN."
I am also glad of the outcome. However, you should always have your target in sight. Never shoot blindly.

It might be just a tad early to make a judgment here. There are too many details missing here. Things like just who was Terry Allen? What was his criminal background? What was the probability that he was there to burglarize the home? What is meant by two doors? is that two doors together or two separate doors in different parts of the house? Did he make any announcements or warnings through the door to Mr. Allen before he shot. The fact that he shot through his door does indicate some panic on his part.

Warrenproud not everyone lives in the city.People who live in the country depend on the sheriff department for their police support. I am sorry I am not waiting 30 mins to an hour for the cops to show up. If someone breaks in my house and I feel my life is at risk I will protect myself. You don't know if this guy was armed. Say this guy called 911 and did not shot him and let him break in and the bugler had a gun and shot the home owner then what will you say.

WP ALWAYS seems to have the answer to problems but is the first to criticize justice. Its time WP is voted into the President position for thugs rights and forgot to throw in the race card! Most people would reasonably think at 12:30 am a person is not trying to break in for a friendly chat and to bring up any charges would just waste taxpayer money on a trial. I believe this sends the proper message to the thugs that legal firearm owning citizens will not tolerate their criminal behavior!

DIGHTON, Mass. -– For the majority of the season, Dighton-Rehoboth's games have been nothing more than a series of glorified batting practices.
To a certain extent, that was the case on Wednesday as the Falcons -- who started this week ranked No. 10 in ESPNBoston.com's statewide MIAA poll -- spotted Case a two-run lead and rallied for an 8-2 victory.
As a result, D-R (11-0, 9-0) remained atop the South Coast Conference standings. But what was ironic was that even though the Falcons were a collective 8-for-25 at the plate, their team batting average dropped four points to .370.
"From the Day One we've been on a roll and our offense has been swinging the bats well," said Mike St. John, who was 3-for-4 with two RBI. "Once we start going, we're off and there's no looking back. I think our bats have definitely carried the team along with great pitching and defense."
Perhaps the one at-bat that typified D-R's approach occurred in the fifth inning which began with the Falcons leading by a tenuous margin of 4-2.
Leadoff batter Andrew Harris, who hits from the left side, slapped a two-run single to left field which upped D-R's lead to 6-2.
The fact that Harris went the other way instead of pulling the ball and risk grounding out was notable.
"That was one of the best at-bats of the game because it gave us a little bit of a cushion," said D-R coach Bill Cuthbertson. "I thought we were off-balance and we were trying to do a little bit too much. Give their pitcher (Nick Moreira) credit. (Harris) did a nice job taking that breaking ball the other way. It was nice to see him rewarded for that."
Since 10 Falcons began the game hitting over .300, one obvious question is: how much of their offense is a product of natural ability, and how much is a product of hard work?
"It's both," said Cuthbertson. "We've got some kids who are good players and are going to play in college and who've been playing for me for three or four years. So, they have a lot of experience. But we've also got some kids who are new to the varsity.
"What we've preached and what we're getting better at is being patient, trying to get a good pitch to hit, being selective, not getting yourself out, having a good approach and having a quality at-bat. What we're trying to get is nine guys in the lineup who give quality at-bats consistently. Then you can live with what happens.
"Generally when you do that," continued Cuthbertson, "you're going to be productive. That's been the case so far this year."
Three of the most productive Falcons are senior captains Evan Mondor (.514 with 13 RBI), Bryan Rocha (.457) and Adam Benvie (.417 with 23 RBI).
"They're highly-motivated kids who are self-directed," said Cuthbertson. "They want to be good and they set a great example for our younger players. Watching the game you can see the level of their intensity. They've played a lot of baseball. They're experienced and they know what it takes to be good.
"Benvie and Rocha have started for me for four years and Mondor has started for three. They've been in a lot of pressure situations and they know how to handle themselves. I think what you saw today was in their at-bats they were patient even though their pitcher was nibbling and nibbling. Their approach was good and hopefully that was infectious with some of the other guys."
After Case (3-9, 3-6) scored single runs in the second and third against Zack Reid (3-0), D-R hung a four-spot on the board in the third, with St. John lining a two-run single to right-center and Shane Gousie lining an RBI single to left.
After Harris's two-run single in the fifth, D-R put the game out of reach by scoring twice in the sixth –- one run coming when Benvie stole home and another when Trevor Brown singled.
Since the Falcons are undefeated and have outscored their opponents by a combined margin of 116-26, it would be an understatement that they step on the field for each game with a target on their collective backs. But that doesn't faze St. John.
"When teams are playing us we get everybody's best," said St. John. "I think that's what makes us a better team. Every game we get a little bit better with a better pitcher that we face and seeing good stuff all the time.
"I think that's why we're in the position that we're in."

Here is Paul Domowitch's report card from the Eagles' win at Cleveland. Click here to enter your grades. We will publish the results in Tuesday's Daily News.
LeSean McCoy finished with 110 yards on 20 carries and had another 30 yards wiped out by holding penalties. Fifty-five of his 110 yards came in the fourth quarter. He kept the Eagles' game-winning scoring drive alive with a 3-yard run on fourth-and-1.
Grade: B-plus
But for his 4-yard TD pass to Clay Harbor to give the Eagles the lead with 1:18 left, Mike Vick was absolutely awful. He equaled his career high for interceptions with four, and probably should've had six or seven. He capped off a bad day of decision-making with an inexcusable throw down the middle to Jeremy Maclin that Browns linebacker D'Qwell Jackson picked off and returned 27 yards for a go-ahead TD.

Reviews for Cream Cheese Pork Chops
"This recipe is great!! Everyone loved it! However, I did only use half of the suggested amount of vinaigrette. I will definitely make this again."
"This is a family favorite and is often requested. I usually serve with smashed red potatoes, green beans and applesauce for Sunday dinner."
"From the comments I read, I added 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, and this turned out good."
"Looking at this recipe before the cooking commenced I thought how amazing these pork chops were going to turn out. The smell alone convinced my landlord to come over and check what was going on. Not to see what I was fixing but to make sure I wasn't storing rotten corpses in my kitchen. A single sniff was enough to guarantee I wasnt eating the rest of the night. One of those smells that makes you stop breathing, all together. I pep-talked myself into mustering the courage to continue fixing my dinner. I had to talk myself into talking myself into finishing dinner. Nearing the end, not knowing if I had the stomach or the breath to finish, I put the plate together and sat down at the table. As i casually ate everything else on my plate, constantly staring at these brain looking, idk [expletive] smelling pieces of what use to be pork, I knew I had to give them a try. Even though every fiber of my being was fighting this impulse I put the mystery looking meat in my mouth. It had the texture of the baseball spit out of the dogs mouth in The Sandlot and the taste of what I am guessing is what the Donner party endured."
"I will make this receipe again but only if I cut down the balsamic to about a tablespoon. The vinegar taste was too overpowering that my husband and I couldn't finish our plates."

The iPhone 4 certainly hasn't been the smoothest of Apple's product launches. First an Apple employee left a prototype in a bar. Then, Steve Jobs had a network interruption in the middle of his keynote at MacWorld (and blamed it on live bloggers clogging up the network connection).
Those with the phones weren't buying that excuse, though, and blaming AT&T (whose service, truth be told, is the reason that this blogger was forced to abandon the iPhone entirely – I do miss it, but when you can't use it as a phone it loses its appeal eventually) is passe at this point.
As more and more folks started complaining about reception issues Steve Jobs' patience started to wear thin, and he reportedly told one irate customer to "relax… it's just a phone," and told another to "just don't hold it that way." (Sorry, lefties, you're out of luck too.) The company, meanwhile, insisted that nothing was wrong with the phones, having already trumpeted the innovative design of its wraparound antenna at MacWorld, and noting that this design was supposed to solve the AT&T reception woes.
As "antenna-gate" continued to grow (earning itself a catchy nickname in the process), Apple finally decided to defuse the problem. As of today, Apple is offering free iPhone cases to those who have the iPhone 4, as Apple can't make enough of the rubber bands (bumpers) that were supposed to solve the reception issue.
And so we award Steve Jobs a Fantasy T-Wearer award today, with the "bad air day" shirt, above.

Kids want to enjoy the Mardi Gras season just as much as the adults; however, some of the activities aren't family friendly. If you want to help your child enjoy the Mardi Gras season, this king cake wreath is a great option. As you and your child work on the wreath, you can explain the history and the importance of the colors.
A Brief History of the Mardi Gras Colors
The history of the Mardi Gras colors dates back to 1872 as an honor to Russian Grand Duke Alexis Alexis Alexandrovich Romanoff. Grand Duke Romanoff suggested the colors, which were made official by Rex. The meaning behind these three colors was confirmed during the "Symbolism of Colors" Rex parade in 1892.
The Meaning of the Colors
- Purple is said to symbolize justice.
- Gold is said to symbolize power.
- Green is said to symbolize faith.

The County Commissioners approved some amendments to the by-laws governing the Planning Board last week. The primary change was to reduce the number of voting members from 12 to 11 to bring it into comp
liance with state law that requires an odd number of voting members on the board. The Planning Board would continue to be comprised of 12 members but the new rules make the Park Board representative a non-voting position.
Another change adopted by the commissioners reduces the regular meeting times to four times a year, one meeting in the months of January, April, July, and October. All other meetings would be called as special meetings. According to Planning Administrator Terry Nelson, this alleviates the problem of having to cancel meetings when there is no business to be done, but ensures that the board meets at least once in the four months required by state law.
The quorum required to do business will be based on the number of voting members, meaning that at least six of the 11 voting members must be in attendance.
The revised by-laws also make it plain that no member who was absent from any portion of a discussion about a pending subdivision can vote on the recommendation to be made to the commissioners unless they had an opportunity to listen to the audio recording of the discussions prior to voting.

Poems about Moms
Mom's are the most important individuals in our lives. We begin our lives completely dependent on them for our every need. Many believe that we search for aspects of the mother child relationship throughout our entire lives. Love it or hate it, she was your first love and will never be gone from your heart. You will always be in her heart also. Try telling her not to love you, try telling to her to forget you existed. It is impossible. Unless you are a mom yourself, you can never understand the intensity of this love.

After coyly addressing Saturday Night Live's much-criticized diversity issues, Kerry Washington raised a considerably lighter question.
Playing host, the mom-to-be parodied Ylvis's "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)" with SNL's Jay Pharoah. Up for debate: "What does my girl say?" (Watch the video below.)
In a comedic departure from her Scandal alter ego, Washington offered up several answers, including but not limited to: "Who that, who that, who that b–h," "I got you, got you, got you pow" and "you done, you done messed up" (all to the tune of the viral hit, of course).
Watch the original Ylvis video here.

Dear Visitors,
Spring is flourishing on our campus, and so is the Museum's program of
exhibitions and special events. Herod the Great: The King's Final Journey –
the most ambitious archaeological exhibition in our history and the world's
first ever to focus on King Herod's achievement as an imperial regional leader in Roman times – continues to draw record-breaking crowds. Ahead are also
a number of exciting new exhibitions across all of our wings. "I am Gabriel":
A Scroll in Stone from the Time of Herod offers a counterpoint to Herod's earthly
Jerusalem, with its depiction of the heavenly Jerusalem of Second Temple time.
Seven Winters presents a solo exhibition by internationally recognized Israeli artist Yehudit Sasportas; Displaced Visions: Emigre Photographers of the 20th Century explores the pioneering work of European photographers displaced by
the trauma of World War II; and Mapping the Holy Land showcases cartographic
treasures recently gifted from the collection of Trevor and Susan Chinn.
We thank all of you for your ongoing support, without which none of this
richness would be possible, and we look forward to seeing you and your
families at the Museum in the weeks and months ahead.

The King's Final Journey
The first exhibition entirely dedicated to Herod the Great, Israel's greatest builder and one of the most controversial figures in Jewish history.

Herod's tomb - discovered at Herodium after a 40-year search by the late Prof. Ehud Netzer of the Hebrew University - holds pride of place. The exhibition is held in memory of Prof. Netzer, who fell to his death in 2010 on the site of his discovery.

Joan Miro's Spanish Dancer: Variations on a Theme
Flamenco's sensuous arm work, articulate hand gestures, and percussive steps inspired Joan Miro to produce numerous sketches, drawings, paintings, and collages of Spanish dancers over a period of sixty
years, from 1921 to 1981. These witty and playful works are rendered in a variety of styles - from realism and cubism to surrealism and abstraction - exhibiting Miro's constant experimentation with form, medium, and technique.

Albuquerque voters will likely be asked to raise the city's minimum wage by a dollar an hour to $8.50 in November.
City Clerk Amy Baily says she expects to certify Friday that enough petition signatures have been turned in to send the proposed minimum wage ordinance to the City Council. The council has two weeks to either approve, reject or table the proposal but so far appears unlikely to approve it.
If it isn't approved it is expected to appear on the November ballot.
The Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce says the increase will eliminate jobs and raise prices. Supporters say it would boost the economy by raising wages for people likely to quickly spend the money.
If approved there would be yearly cost-of-living increases.

Funny Video: Dog Hates the Alarm Clock as Much as You Do
Sometimes you put a pillow over your head. Sometimes you hold your ears. But no matter what you do, you can still hear the penetrating buzz of that horrible appliance – the alarm clock.
Vizsla the dog despises it with a passion too, and in this video, as that beep, well, beeps, she howls like she's giving birth in a display of complete displeasure.
Lucky for her (and like a punch in the gut for us), Vizsla's alarm clock simply shuts off, she yawns, puts her head down and drifts back to sleep. Let's just say that if our mornings went down like this, bills would not be paid.

First pee of the day, like liquid amber, good flow and volume.
A couple of coffees later and it's pale yellow and less volume.
I usually have a glass of water or two during the day unless working in the heat, then a litre or two as I go, don't pee much as it's all gone in sweat.
Some time after dinner usually get a bit thirsty so have a glass and that's it.
I did used to drink and pee a lot more before primal, i.e. getting up in the middle of the night for both.
I don't think there is any problem in drinking water fast, ideally if it is close to body temp, chilled water should be sipped to warm it up first, don't think there was time at the waterhole to lounge and sip water ancestrally, you got in, drank and got out.
Interesting point about the Fibre Menace,
Firstly you were told to eat shredded agricultural waste cellulose, then told to drink lots of water so it wouldn't shred your insides.
I don't track or measure, but I keep a 27 oz water bottle with me at work because I get thirsty and I like to drink (normal, unflavored) water over pretty much anything else. It gets refilled multiple times a day.
I live in SoFL, so it's pretty much always hot. I find when I go to England, I drink much less than usual, but that could be from the break in habit and routine as well as the temperature/humidity difference.

DHSS Press Release
|Date: April 24, 2013
|Rita Landgraf, Secretary
Jill Fredel, Director of Communications
302-255-9047, Pager 302-357-7498
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Dover, Delaware - The Lt. Governor joined the Department of Health and Social Services, Department of State, Medical Society of Delaware, and the DEA in Dover yesterday to announce the bi-annual Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on April 27,2013 and the state's policy and program recommendations for combating prescription drug abuse.
The spring 2013 prescription Drug Take-Back Day sponsored by the Division of Public Health (DPH) and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is planned for Saturday, April 27 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Delaware. The event gives the public the opportunity to safely and anonymously dispose of unused medications, prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.
"On Saturday, we ask Delawareans to help prevent illness, crime and pollution by properly disposing of their expired, unused and unwanted medications. Visit any statewide collection site to drop off unneeded prescription and over-the-counter pills, liquids and cream medications in their containers," said Rita Landgraf, DHSS Cabinet Secretary. "Collection sites will even accept pet medications. No questions will be asked since this is a free and anonymous drug disposal service. Please help us protect your family, your community, and the environment by disposing of old or unused drugs."
To develop a larger term solution to the prescription drug problem, the State's policy and program recommendations for combating prescription drug abuse were developed by the Prescription Drug Action Committee, co-chaired by Dr. Karyl Rattay, Division of Public Health Director (OPH) and Dr. Randeep Kahlon, immediate past President of the Medical Society of Delaware. PDAC is a broad and diverse group that includes physicians, community-based organizations, behavioral health partners, hospital systems, pain management specialists, law enforcement, the Attorney General's Office, the Department of Homeland Security, Medicaid, pharmaceutical representatives, medical professional regulators, retail pharmacy representation, the Delaware Nursing Association and patient advocacy entities, as well as public and private payers.
"In our state we face the problem that poisonings are now killing more Delawareans than car crashes. The challenge with prescription drugs is to balance the very real need for legitimate prescription pain medication with the necessity of preventing their misuse and abuse. Grim statistics, and many all too familiar personal stories, tell of people who have lost their lives or ability to function to prescription drugs," said Lt. Governor Matthew Denn. "Many people think that such drugs are automatically safe because they are prescribed by a medical professional; they think these drugs can be safely given to others or even stolen without the significant consequences caused by illegal drugs. This belief is false and we must do more." For children, medications are the most common and deadly poisons. Persons under the influence of unauthorized prescription drugs commit crimes, cause accidents, and put law-abiding citizens in harm's way. In addition to being illegal, using unauthorized drugs can cause irreversible medical damage to our brains, heart, liver and other organs. Addiction, injuries, suicides and accidental deaths can occur when people abuse prescription drugs.
"The Prescription Drug Action Committee took a larger systems approach to combating prescription drug abuse," said Dr. Karyl Rattay, DPH Director. "We must look at the problem from a medical, societal and sociological perspective. These recommendations are just the first step in addressing the larger problem."
The PDAC recommendations ( TakeBackday.pdf) fell into two categories; policy and programs: Policy Recommendations:
- Require all prescribers with a controlled substance registration and pharmacists to complete 2 hours of continuing education training. Two hours of prescriber training will focus on safe and effective prescribing methods. For Pharmacists, training will focus on recognizing patient abuse seeking behaviors.
- Require controlled substance prescribers to take a one hour, one time only CME on Delaware specific prescription drug abuse and pain management topics to include: the Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP), Delaware Regulation 31 and other state specific programs and policies.
- Standardize continuing education of law enforcement regarding controlled substance related abuse and impairment.
- Require hospice agencies to implement a uniform procedure to dispose of controlled substances after a patient passes away.
- Require practitioners with controlled substance licenses to register for access to the Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP).
- Enable provider authorized support staff to delegate access to the PMP via their own log-in identification and password.
- Require substance abuse treatment centers to use the PMP to evaluate patient risk of abuse.
- Require pharmacists to obtain a Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) patient profile when there is a suspicion of abuse seeking behaviors.
- Eliminate the 72 hour exemption for reporting dispensing of controlled substances to the PMP.
- Launch a statewide public education and outreach campaign based upon the successful school nurse partnership.
- Ensure that chronic pain patients have safe and consistent access to care and support provider education by increasing access to pain management and substance abuse experts.
- Integrate multiple data sources to develop a robust surveillance system. Implement Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances.
- Implement long term drug take-back solution; federal guidance expected late 2013.
- Implement a pilot program for BLS to use Narcan.
Program Recommendation:
"Prescription drugs have become a leading cause of accidental death in Delaware, and are abused more than any other drugs." said Secretary of State Jeffrey Bullock. "The recommendations announced today present an important and necessary set of prevention, policy and enforcement tools with which we can continue to combat this epidemic."
Since the first statewide Drug Take-Back event was held in May 2010, the seven Take-Back Days have removed a total of 22,212 pounds of medicines from circulation in Delaware.
Anyone can bring medications for disposal to 25 collection sites statewide. To find a collection site near you, visit: www.dhss.delaware.gov/dhss/dph/hsp/healthyhomes.html or call 1-800-882-9539. Prescription and over-the-counter pills, liquids, and cream medications will all be accepted - even pet medication. Injectables and aerosols are not included in the program, and will not be accepted. Collection is both free and anonymous. No questions or requests for identification will be made. Personal information should be removed from bottles and packages.
The medications will be collected in specially marked barrels or boxes, and then safely destroyed. The collection sites available on Saturday, April 27 from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. are:
- Brandywine Towne Center, Wilmington
- Christiana Care Health System - Medical Arts Pavilion II, Newark

October Sky
by Homer Hickam
Have you read this book? It is one of my favorites! I always make this a required reading in my classes. But it's not just for science classes. This is a great "read" for any subject in middle or high school.
I am not going to give anything away, but this book is about the "rocket boys". It is placed in the 1950's and early 1960's, and is a true story about a group of boys living in a coal mining town in West Virginia. They teach themselves to build rockets, but more importantly they (with the help of some key teachers in their lives) teach themselves that they can overcome hardships and can accomplish anything if they work at it hard enough. It is highly motivational and I high recommend it!

Have you received your latest property tax appraisal? If you're like most home-owners, you're suffering sticker shock watching your property taxes go up and up.
Wonder why this is happening?
It's because our school-finance system is already at its limit. The state doesn't have enough money to keep up its share of public school costs, so local school boards have been forced to push property tax rates higher and higher. Many districts are already at the maximum tax rate. Most of the others don't have far to go.
You probably already know that your property taxes are unrelated to your ability to pay. If your home's value increases, you owe more money even if your paycheck has stayed the same.
School costs are not the only pressure on state and local budgets. Texas is growing fast, and demands for all sorts of services are increasing dramatically. This is no surprise. We all want good schools, world-class colleges, efficient transportation and secure prisons.
Candidates understand this and are promising a better Texas. But they're offering new programs at the same time the state is having problems just keeping current programs going. They also pretend we don't need any more money.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
So how do we meet the needs of a growing state and ease our property tax burden?
We must try to fix the current system. We can try to make sure that everyone is paying their fair share of property taxes. We can try to scrub the tax code of wasteful tax breaks. We can try to bring the sales tax up to date by taxing services, the fastest growing part of our modern economy. But even these changes won't be enough to fund schools, roads and prisons or cut our sales and property taxes.
What else can we do?
There is one tax that could help support the Texas we all want, reduce our property taxes and reflect our ability to pay.
Texas does not have an income tax. What if we did?
The Texas Constitution guarantees that an income tax cannot be adopted without a statewide referendum. If we adopt an income tax, two-thirds of the revenue would go to cut property taxes. The other one-third would be dedicated to education. The Legislature couldn't even raise the tax rate without going back to voters for approval. That's all in the Constitution.
If Texas adopted an income tax like that of Kansas, most Texas families would pay less in taxes. The income tax and the mandatory property tax cuts would mean that more than 60 percent of families would see a tax cut.
The highest-income families would pay the most in a new state income tax. However, they also would receive the most benefit from the federal deduction for state income taxes.
Under the plan, the property tax cuts would be huge. The income tax would generate $17.3 billion in new revenue. By law, two-thirds of this - $11.5 billion - would go back to taxpayers in the form of lower property taxes. This would be enough to virtually eliminate school property taxes in our state, cutting them by 85 percent.
The remaining revenue from the income tax - $5.8 billion - would support education.
Uncle Sam would help out through deductions on Texans' federal tax returns, which would reduce our federal income taxes by $1.8 billion a year. That's money that otherwise would have gone to Washington but would instead stay in Texas.
A state income tax is not a cure-all. We still would face enormous challenges in building our future.
But we need to take a good hard look at all our options. There may be alternatives out there that would be better for all of us.

An explosion in the popularity of ferrets as companions has been occurring around the world for decades. Adding to the furor is a network of support easily obtained through the Internet. Information about ferrets is at our fingertips, along with the friendships of other ferret enthusiasts. Ferret fanciers will no doubt continue to turn up in virtually every corner of the globe as word gets out about these marvelous pets.
A Ferret TimelineItaly and Greece have perhaps the longest history with ferrets. It is thought that ferrets were domesticated in Greece, where they are still kept as pets today.
Ferrets were first mentioned in Italy around 60 BC, when Caesar Augustus of the Roman Empire received a request to sail several ferrets to the Balearic Islands in order to control the rabbit population. Ferret fanciers of one kind or another have been there ever since.

Spring is one of my favorite times of year. The vibrant colors coming out of the ground through the grass, flowers and trees are lovely. Looking around I see all the different shades of color mixing together to make a beautiful picture. Driving around is really quite enjoyable during this time of year.
Even the changes in the weather are interesting to me. Snow in April is not normal so it was pretty nice. There wasn't enough to shovel and the ground was warm enough that it didn't stick around too long. It was nice to look at and a small enough amount to enjoy.
Another thing that is nice to see while driving around is the fresh turned dirt. The farmers are getting the fields ready to plant. The turned-over dirt adds new colors and textures to look at. Plus the different farm equipment is pretty interesting too. It used to be that I thought a tractor was a tractor. But I've learned a little bit since moving here.
It may seem funny to some people, but I am learning the difference between some of the farm tractors. They come in different sizes and colors and as they are working in the fields they add to the beauty of the landscape. When you throw the Amish into the mix and the way they farm, the scenery is even more interesting.
There is so much to learn and experience around Trumbull County that there is no way that anyone can complain of being bored. The Bee Keepers Association usually has a monthly meeting and they are always looking for people to attend. We have gone to a couple of their meetings and were always made to feel welcome.
There is the Antique Tractor Club of Trumbull County too and I am looking forward to attending some of their meetings. I wasn't raised on a farm and have never farmed but I appreciate the tractors and the heritage. We would be pretty hungry if there weren't as many farmers around here, wouldn't we?
Spring also brings out the garage sales. They pop up everywhere. We don't stop at every one but we do like to stop at some and look around.
We usually find some good books and both of us like to read. I am not into garage sales as much as some people but I do follow the rule that ''One man's trash is another man's treasure.''
There is a yearly garage sale at the Christian Church in Champion that has a lot of stuff and good food for sale. I stopped on Friday and picked up three books, a chilidog and a piece of pie. It is a tough job, but someone has to do it.
Pretty soon the April showers that bring May flowers will be here and some people will feel stuck indoors. Get out now and enjoy the beautiful weather and all the great learning opportunities around Trumbull County. I am sure you will be glad you did. All these great opportunities and the beauty of nature make for a great spring!
Mazey is a Trumbull County pastor.

Robert Reich: The candidate could also call for busting up Wall Street's biggest banks and thereafter limiting their size; imposing jail sentences on top executives who break the law; cracking down on insider trading; and, for good measure, enacting a small tax on all financial transactions in order to reduce speculation.
Dreaming of Hillary in 2016?
Victoria Defrancesco Soto: If the Democratic primary were to be held today Hillary Clinton would receive 57 percent of the vote with Vice President Biden coming in at a distant second with less than 20 percent.
Democrats Doomed If They Run as Incumbents
Paul Hogarth: The anti-incumbent mood is not confined to the racist Tea Parties on the Right – but is just as potent on the Left, where progressives are disenchanted by a President who promised hope and change, only to capitulate to Joe Lieberman to pass a health care bill that requires us to all buy private insurance.
What Congressman John Lewis Was Really Saying: White Folk Getting Ready to Act Up, Y'all!
Much ado has been made over Georgia Congressman John Lewis' statement about the nasty turn the Presidential campaign took at Republican rallies. From Palin saying Obama was "pallin' around with domestic terrorists, to Republican rally supporters calling the Democratic nominee "an Arab," "a terrorist," and calling for Obama's death, shouting out, "Kill him!", the rhetoric […]
Obama Proves the Pundits Wrong
After Barack Obama won the Iowa caucuses by a surprisingly large margin, the punditocracy was troubled. Pundits had virtually conceded the nomination to Hillary Clinton, and now went into high gear explaining the Illinois Senator's deficiencies.
What I Learned in Denver
by Randy Shaw — The last day of the Democratic Convention at Mile High Stadium was an extraordinary occasion that transcended politics and became almost spiritual. I have never been part of such a public event—political or not—and doubt whether an equivalent happening has ever occurred in the United States or will soon be repeated.
Vice President Clinton: A Humble Opinion
While I do not believe that presumed Democratic nominee Barack Obama really knows who his vice-presidential nominee will be, if ever there was a time to give an opinion on the matter, it is now. Who knows, someone may actually be listening. The choice for President of the United States is perhaps one of the […]

Vince Young can move on with his life now — if he chooses to.
Young was released by the Cleveland Browns Monday, just a short time after he was signed on May 1 to fill in a hold for the club. Cleveland drafted Johnny Manziel and even if Young was a long shot when he was signed, he had no shot with Manziel on the roster.

Cleveland did keep Tyler Thigpen on board, but released quarterback Alex Tanney. Also released were DB Brandon Hughes, RB Fozzy Whittaker and DL Brian Sanford.
Young was drafted as the No. 3 overall pick in 2006, but hasn't played a regular-season snap since 2011. The 30-year-old has a 31-19 career record.
A former national championship winning quarterback at Texas, Young spent five seasons with Tennessee. He started three games for the Eagles in 2011. He spent part of the past two preseasons with Buffalo and Green Bay.

Day to day adventures of an excitable, bubbly, and sometimes shameless vegan. Tales from the kitchen and the road.
Sunday, December 4, 2011
WineDebut.com offers vegan wine! Buy some fancy bottles, and get the party started!
My very handsome and single (ladies!) roommate Dan works at the cutest wine store evs -- VinDebut in West Portal. Recently (last week) Dan unveiled VinDebut's latest feature - Winedebut; a website in which you can buy their fancy wines and have them shipped to your door! You don't have to leave the house to get the sophisticated party started! Parties with wine are so sophisticated, no question.
Dan* not only writes the detailed and humorous descriptions of wines, he also labels which wines are vegan! (Only three at the moment, but he's working on it) All you have to is enter 'vegan' in the search bar and taa-daa! Vegan wines! You can also impress all your friends with the knowledge you siphoned off the website! Definitely a win - win situation for everyone involved.
Why yes, I would love a bottle of this VEGAN Cabernet! Flavors of cassis, plums, dark cocoa, and espresso? Sounds delicious to me!
Right now, new customers receive 10% of their orders, as advertised on the site. Chuck the cheap shit out the window (or donate it to me) and go fancy for the holidays!
*He's smart, he's funny, he knows how to use a computer and he will hook you up with wine for life! He truly is San Francisco's hottest eligible bachelor Get it, ladies!

More West Coast Injuries
Dice-K worked quickly, threw strikes and kept the ball down. Next up from the west coast, pigs fly. I'm clearly only meant to see either fantastic or awful games from Dice-K. In 2008 I saw him 3-hit the A's, in 2009 I saw him give up 5 runs in the first inning to the A's. Last night, he looked possibly better than his 2008 self. He had fewer strike outs, but also threw fewer pitches and didn't get to a three-ball count until the 4th inning. Tito was very excited to point out that he threw a first pitch strike to 19 of the 24 batters he faced. I did double check, the pitcher on the mound was throwing with his right hand, so there's no way Lester slipped in and faked everybody out.
It's a good thing he, Bard and Paps came through, since the Sox need awesome pitching performances to have any chance to win. With the exception of Beltre the bats are still on All-Star break, and according to Tito, Beltre's hamstring is apparently killing him. Papi is weakly grounding into the shift, Youks is striking out and the outfield band-aids are coming back down to AAAA-earth. But Eric Patterson hit a triple!
The real problem with playing in the Bay Area is that the Sox can't seem to play a game without losing a player. In San Francisco they lost Pedroia, Buchholz and Martinez on consecutive days. Last night they almost lost Bard. As he was walking through the clubhouse, Bard bumped very gently into Beltre. They both quickly apologized to each other, before Bard took a few more steps towards the kitchen, stopped, and turned back to Beltre. "Dude, I think you broke my ribs."
If Bard isn't available tonight, you now all know the real reason.

For the Mormons here at MeFi -- and, of course, anyone else -- the Church is broadcasting a Memorial Service nationwide, that is also being streamed (requires Windows Media Player). I'm sure other national religious organizations are doing the same... so if you know of others, post them here.

Shaquille O'Neal is far from the monster he used to be – that much is obvious.
He only plays about 20 minutes a night at the best of times for the Celtics, but his presence in the locker room alone makes a big difference to this team. He seems to be the guy that holds this club together.
The NESN team put together an awesome little collection of The Big Shamrock's best moments in Boston so far recently. Take a gander here – it's worth the time.
Those bits with Nate Robinson are priceless.
Boston's been a tough bet throughout the year, heading into Saturday's game in Washington with a 20-20-2 mark against the spread. Shaq didn't make the trip with the team after hurting his hip on a dunk Friday.
The Celtics aren't releasing much about his status at this point and it doesn't sound serious, but if he's out for any considerable length of time over the next little while, they'll miss him. They obviously have lots of options up front though he is a guy they're going to have to be careful with down the stretch.
Boston needs him to be in top form in the playoffs so look for this sort of thing may become a bit of an issue as the season wears on.

Lalith Babu emerges champ
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 24th January 2013 11:17 AM
Last Updated: 24th January 2013 11:17 AM
Indian Grandmaster Lalith Babu, with a better tie-break, edged out Grandmaster Lu Shanglei of China and emerged Champion after the 11th and final round in the Chennai Super Kings 5th International Grandmaster chess tournament 2013 at Media Hall, Nehru Stadium here on Wednesday.
Lalith Babu and Lu Shanglei logged in nine points from eleven rounds, ahead of GMs Adhiban Baskaran and Niaz Murshed. Also, Lalith Babu becomes the first Indian to emerge the champion in the five editions of Chennai Open held so far.
