"The EPA has exceeded their legal authority in defining what constitutes waterways," Koster said. "Thousands of acres of privately owned land in Missouri would suddenly be subject to federal water regulation. Missouri farmers will be particularly harmed by the federal government's restrictions on how their land can be used." Koster says the agencies' official definition of "waters of the United States" (WOTUS) extends their authority to include "ponds, streams that flow only briefly during or after rainstorms, and channels that are usually dry." The definition also expands to floodplains, even if the plains are dry 99 years out of 100, Koster says.

The crippling powers of human insecurity will be on full display in the Buffalo Laboratory Theatre's production of the classic tale of Cyrano de Bergerac, a French poet and fighter with an abnormally large nose and even larger self-esteem issues. "Cyrano," directed by and starring BLT founder and Hilbert College professor Taylor Doherty, opens its three-week run at 7:30 tonight in the 710 Main Theatre.
This production grows out of BLT's original "Cyrano," which the company mounted at its Hamburg space in 2010. It will include music played on the stage by musicians, aerial ballet performed by BLT mainstay Kathleen Golde and plenty of theatrical devices meant to rivet the attention to the tragic story of its central character's fruitless quest after the girl he loves.
"In modern psychological vernacular you'd say he has these incredible self-esteem issues, and I mean some of them are legit," Doherty said. "He has this massive deformity. But some of it just is, if he would have the courage to say it to her, she might say I love you back. The tragedy of that gets me just vaguely choked up just talking about it."
The production is BLT's first attempt to make a go of it in the 625-seat theater, formerly the home of Studio Arena. Tickets are $36.50 or $17.50 for students. Call 847-0850 or visit www.sheas.org/710 or www.buffalolabtheatre.org.

French union leader, elected General Secretary (Chairman) of F.O. (a right wing and anti-communist trade union) in February 1989. Originally a street hawker, he collected several little jobs before being integrated into the union. A socialist, he was a freemason and a rabble-rouser, an inexhaustible speaker who kept the government, labor and management at a boil. Ten years prior, he was known as more reasonable and conservative but during the strikes of the railroad employees on 11/24/1995, he took an impassioned stand.

Libyan loyalists launched counteroffensives throughout the capital on Wednesday, seemingly taking their cues from leader Moammar Gadhafi, who called on them from hiding to drive the "devils and traitors" from Tripoli.
Clashes erupted in a neighborhood next to Gadhafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound a day after the sprawling command-and-control center was overrun by thousands of rebel fighters. Pro-regime fighters attacked with shells and assault rifles in the Abu Salim area, which is home to a notorious prison and thought to be one of the last remaining regime strongholds in Tripoli.
Opposition fighters were claiming that they now control most of the capital. Streets were largely deserted, scattered with debris and broken glass and other remnants of fighting. Rebels manned checkpoints every few hundred yards.
Heard On NPR
World's Diplomats Prepare For Post-Gadhafi Libya
World's Diplomats Prepare For Post-Gadhafi Libya
The conquest of Bab al-Aziziya effectively signaled the end of Gadhafi's regime, even though the Libyan leader himself has yet to be found and the opposition still faces pockets of stiff resistance.
Gadhafi's foreign minister in Tripoli said the Libyan leader's grip on power is gone.
Speaking from a home in the Libyan capital, Foreign Minister Abdul Ati al-Obeidi told British broadcaster Channel 4 that it appeared that Gadhafi has exhausted all of his options and that his rule "was over."
But an ever-defiant Gadhafi vowed in an audio address broadcast Wednesday that he would fight "until victory or martyrdom." He said he abandoned his compound as a tactical move, and he called on residents of the capital and loyal tribesmen across his North African nation to free Tripoli from the "devils and traitors" who have overrun it.
NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson, reporting from Benghazi, said the search for Gadhafi continues but that "it's very difficult to determine where he is because he has many bunkers."
"He has many places that he could be hiding, and there are still many parts of the country that are loyal to him," she said.
The rebels said they had taken control of Libyan state television and raised their tricolor flag on the top of the building. They also claimed to control Tripoli's airport.
At the nearby Rixos Hotel, foreign journalists who had been held there for days by armed men loyal to Gadhafi were suddenly freed Wednesday. The dozens of journalists were taken in Red Cross cars and vans to another Tripoli hotel, where they hugged friends and colleagues.
"Once I got into the car I couldn't stop crying," CNN journalist Jomana Karadsheh said.
In Tripoli's Green Square, hundreds of rebels celebrated the storming of Bab al-Aziziya, dancing and clapping and waving the red, green and black rebel flag and firing celebratory gunfire in the air.
Elsewhere in the country, tribes loyal to Gadhafi were holding out in his hometown of Sirte.
"The rebel forces in the past day or so claim to have cleared the cities of Brega and Ras Lanouf. These are key cities en route to Sirte," Sarhaddi Nelson said. "Sirte itself remains in the hands of sheiks and tribal leaders who are loyal to Gadhafi."
On Wednesday, opposition fighters wandering around the Bab al-Aziziya complex suddenly came under fire. Some of the rebels took cover; others ran but then returned. It's not clear from where the shooting came, but rebel field commander Mohammed Amin said the last holdouts among regime loyalists have entrenched themselves in areas near the compound.
In Brussels, a NATO official said warplanes continued to strike overnight at pro-Gadhafi forces near Tripoli.
"We did see remnants of the pro-Gadhafi forces moving heavy equipment, and we took action," the official told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The rebels' provisional government, known as the Transitional National Council, was organizing a hasty conference in Qatar to raise money to help rebuild cities such as Zawiyah and Misrata after fierce battles left them in ruins, riddled with bullet and artillery holes.
And in Tripoli, there was little food, limited electricity and few open hospitals.
Mahmoud Jibril, deputy chairman of the TNC, was en route to France for a meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Wednesday evening, according to Sarkozy's office. A statement said talks will focus on "the situation in Libya and the international community's actions to support the political transition to a free and democratic Libya."
The U.S. and European Union were also working on a process to free up billions of dollars in frozen Libyan assets to help the rebel government keep the country running.
The U.S. State Department said it could get as much as $1.5 billion into the hands of the TNC once a United Nations sanctions committee clears the way.
Assistant Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman was in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi over the weekend and has since begun touring world capitals as he and other diplomats tried to come up with ways to help the rebels.
Feltman told NPR that everyone is relying on the TNC.
"People are taking their lead from the Libyans themselves because the Transitional National Council has made it clear that Libyans are going to be in charge of the post-Gadhafi planning and Libyans are going to be in charge of determining the best path forward," Feltman said.
"And that's the way it should be," he said. "That's what we have talked about since the beginning of this."
With reporting from NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro in Tripoli, Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson in Benghazi and Michele Kelemen in Washington, D.C. Material from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Listen: Sade makes a militant return on 'Soldier of Love'
Singer appears after a decade-long absence. Did you miss her?
If you're under 30, unless your parents have introduced you to Sade, it's probably impossible to understand how adored she was when her records first came out in the 1980s. In fact, you may have never heard her name.
Here was the stunning, exotic British/Nigerian beauty , who sang with total ennui, in a somewhat flat monotone that nonetheless stirred emotions within the listener even if Sade remained impassive. Songs like "Your Love is King," "Smooth Operator," and "No Ordinary Love" were mainstays on MTV. Indeed, with her sleek, gorgeous presence and stylized videos, she and a then-nascent MTV were made for each other.
It's been more than 20 years since Sade has a real radio hit and around 10 years since her last album, but she's back now, still on her original label (Epic) with a new single from her forthcoming February album. (Editor's Note: As one of our readers pointed out below, it has actually been 17 years since her last radio hit, "No Ordinary Love." )
And it's amazing how little has changed. Not that we expected Sade to suddenly be a belter, but "Soldier of Love" sounds like it could have come off of "Diamond Life" or any of her other huge sellers.Hear it here.
"I've lost the use of my heart, but I'm still alive," Sade sings as the song open as its military-precision drums propel the story. Her voice is instantly identifiable, but is deeper, and not quite as smooth. It's grown a little rougher around the edges over time. However, that weatherbeaten tone certainly fits such lyrics as "I've been torn up inside, I've been left behind" and "It's too late for love to come to turn it all around."
It is too late for Sade? Perhaps. We doubt even adult-leaning radio would play her at this point. This is a song that will live or die by press and television placements. It has the right tone to be used in a commercial for an FX TV show or something like that. Plus, there are some righteous dance remixes to be made of this track.

Lubbock Coronado not only spoiled Plainview's effort to win on the night its stadium was renamed Greg Sherwood Memorial Stadium with a 38-9 victory, the Mustangs also honored the former Plainview football coach and Lubbock Independent School District athletic director.
On Coronado's first offensive play, quarterback Austin Zouzalik ran a play called Three-One-Nine. The run went for 28 yards and was one of Sherwood's favorite plays.
Before the play was run, Coronado sophomore players held up a sign that had the play on it.
"That was Greg's numbering system for that play," said Coronado coach Butch Henderson. "We ran a shotgun version of Three-One-Nine. I thought, mercy me, when I saw it go for 28 yards. Maybe we should have been using this more."
Sherwood didn't run the shotgun in his coaching days at Dalhart, Spearman and Plainview.
"No, he didn't," Henderson said. "But as creative as he was, if he was still coaching he would have. Greg was unique."

My favorite southern southern recipe--that is not fair. I eat it all the time. I cannot make biscuits worth a hoot but I can fry chicken, cook collard greens, make gravy and am always asked to make banana pudding for all holiday meals. I love bean dumplings and no one can make them as well as my mother-in-law's sister. Not sure if that is a southern thing but it is definitely a Parrott thing.ReplyDelete
fried chicken and corn breas.ReplyDelete
should be corn breadReplyDelete
Ham salad is one if my favorite dishes. My recipe is almost the same except I add a few hard boiled eggs. I would love that cookbook. I am a southerner at heart, but just across the Mason-Dixon Line in Ohio.ReplyDelete

ST.PAUL, Minneapolis
20 Reviews
20 Reviews
Whatever your reason for going to Minneapolis, do not miss spending at least a day, perhaps several in St Paul. It is smaller but it is also the seat of Minnesota government and it has a lot more history.
Visit the Sculpture Garden, drive down Summit Avenue, see a St. Paul Saints minor league baseball game in the summer (if you can get tickets!), visit the Mall of America if you must, walk around Uptown and Lake Calhoun.
This museum in downtown St. Paul is huge and has displays of everything from the Human body and genetics to Dinosaurs.
Address: 120 West Kellogg Blvd
Directions: Downtown St. paul
Phone: (651) 221-9444
Website: http://www.smm.org/
Saint Paul is a nice town to wander around in. If you're in the Twin Cities, might as well see them both.
When in Saint-Paul, one should see Summit Avenue. Summit has many early 20th century houses and is a lovely street to walk in.
Address: Close to Saint-Paul's Cathedral

|Named a best book of 2015 by YA Books Central
Tera is seventeen, shy, and artistically gifted. Her hero and mentor is her father, a famous graphic artist who also protects her from her depressed, overly critical mother. Tera is looking forward to going to a prestigious art school in France, but her world is turned upside down the day the police arrest her father for an unspeakable crime. Tera desperately wants to believe his arrest is a mistake, so she goes into action, searching for legal counsel and sacrificing her future at art school to help him. But under the surface of her attempts at rescue, there are rifts in Tera's memories that make her wonder: Could he be guilty? From Kirkus Reviews [Starred Review]: "Maysonet's … prose is unflinching as it illuminates one girl's traumatic experience with deeply felt compassion and brutal honesty… An important book about endings, beginnings and the choice to move on."

I say "back in the day" as though I have fond memories of high school—when actually my teenage years were a series of embarrassing events punctuated by flashes of terror.

It also deals with love—how victims of sexual assault sometimes have a skewed perception of what love is, and how sometimes we can love those who victimize us.

While working at Safe Kids, regardless of whether we have children or not, we develop a parents' radar for ways kids are vulnerable to injury. I am no different. Earlier this summer, I visited my family in Santa Cruz, California, and spent a lot of time watching my then 8-year-old nephew, Logan, play baseball with his team, the Mets.
Pop quiz. Who do you think are the best advocates for child safety issues? a) Pediatricians; b) Elected Officials; c) Teachers; d) Parents? The answer is: e - none of the above.
That's right. While many of these groups work hard for children, peer-for-peer advocacy, or kids lobbying on behalf of kids, can actually have the biggest impact of all.
60% of parents don't fill out the registration card that comes with their child's car seat.
