Storm brings wild weather swing to New England
PORTLAND, Maine A storm that caused havoc in the South brought wacky weather to northern New England on Thursday with thick fog, heavy rain, record warmth, ice jams and wind gusts topping 70 mph that caused numerous power outages. It was capped off with a pendulum swing back to colder temperatures.
Across northern New England, powerful wind gusts knocked out electricity for more than 70,000 homes and businesses, mostly in Maine, while warm temperatures and heavy rainfall caused ice jams on many rivers, threatening a number of communities, including Montpelier.
Several ski areas shut down for the day because of rain, or strong winds, or both.
In Maine, the wind gusted to 63 mph in Bath, ripping part of the roof off the Maine Maritime Museum. Gusts also hit 54 mph in Augusta, and 49 mph at the Portland International Jetport.
Offshore, the wind hit 60 mph at New Hampshires Isles of Shoals and 74 mph at Maines Matinicus Rock.
Thats natural for us, said Wanda Philbrook, post master on Matinicus Island, which is 20 miles from the coast of Maine. Its just another day in paradise.
The day started with rain and heavy fog that gave way to sun and a second day of warm temperatures. In Portland, the temperature hit 54 degrees, tying the record for the date for the second consecutive day. By midnight, the temperature was expected to drop below freezing, plummeting more than 30 degrees.
By 2 p.m. Thursday, the temperature was about 12 degrees atop New Hampshires Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast and home to some of the worlds most erratic weather.
By contrast, it reached 43 degrees at the summit on Wednesday, breaking the previous record of 38 set in 1947. Before temperatures started falling Thursday, the 38-degree reading at midnight broke the record for the day of 35 set in 1947.
All of that warm weather and rain caused rivers to rise and ice to break up, forming ice jams that raised the threat of localized flooding. In Maine, an ice jam closed the Route 4 bridge in Madrid.
In Montpelier, city officials warned residents to be on alert after an ice jam that broke loose from the Berlin area threatened the Winooski River.
Eventually, the threat to Montpelier subsided, but there were flood warnings on at least a half-dozen rivers, including the Saco River at Conway, N.H.
The cause of the wacky weather was the same winter weather system that spawned tornadoes in southern states, said Margaret Curtis from the National Weather Service.
In the south, two people were killed by tornadoes Tuesday and Wednesday, while a third was found dead Thursday in a flooded homeless camp in Maryland.
In northern New England, the biggest problem was the wind, which knocked down trees and tree limbs. The largest number of power outages were in Maine, where Central Maine Power reported more than 40,000 and Bangor Hydro Electric Co. reported more than 20,000 at the height of the storm. More than 13,000 power outages were reported in New Hampshire.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

Living color: Educator sees Vt. through eyes of minoritiesBy Kevin OConnor
STAFF WRITER | January 20,2013Jeff Pohl-Moore Photo
Tabitha Pohl-Moore, pictured with her 5-year-old son, Brynn, is advocating for more public awareness of the challenges faced by Vermonts minorities.As a Vermonter of color, Tabitha Pohl-Moore has mixed emotions about the historic second inauguration of the nations first African-American president coming not only on Martin Luther King Day, but also the 150th anniversary month of the Emancipation Proclamation and 50th anniversary year of the March on Washington.
On one hand, Im glad because, for a moment, I can celebrate how far we have come, the 35-year-old says. But thats what it is a moment. Not that Im negative, but I also worry that it gives people a false sense weve arrived.
Pohl-Moore knows otherwise. Sure, her white mothers Green Mountain roots go back six generations.
My grandfather died last February in the house where he was born in 1914 you dont get much more Vermont than that.
But the coffee-with-cream complexion she inherited from her black father makes some people question if shes truly a descendent of what for decades has been the countrys whitest state.
As young as watching Sesame Street, I knew I was different. Cookie Monster tells you one of these things is not like the other, and you start looking at yourself and other people.
Other people who stare back.
In kindergarten and elementary school, kids would come up and touch my face and hair. Race has always been a part of my formal education.
Today the wife and mother works as a counselor at her alma mater, Mill River Union High School in Clarendon. Her native state prides itself on being the first to outlaw slavery and grant same-sex unions. But, whether locally or on the road as a cheerleading coach, she still sees human rights obstacles to overcome.
Every once in a while Ill pull a student of color aside and say, Whats it like at your school? And theres a knowing, a connection, a you know what its like. And they dont have to say anything beyond that.
But most of Vermonts 94.2 percent Caucasian population (a tenth of a point lower than Maine, now the nations whitest state) lacks firsthand experience with racial diversity or discrimination. Thats why the educator is speaking out.
Not the same
Back three decades ago when Pohl-Moore began school in the central Vermont town of Rochester current population 1,139 she and her older brother, Bill, were the only students of color.
You want to fit in, she recalls, yet when people are saying your hair feels weird, you know youre not the same. They werent mean, they were curious how could they know what those innocent experiences would mean for me? Young people are on this quest for identity, to discover who they are in relationship to others. And when nobody looks like you, theres nobody to reflect you or your experience. Quoting poet Adrienne Rich, its like youre looking into a mirror and you see nothing.
After her family moved to Rutland County in search of more racial diversity, Pohl-Moore transferred to Mill River in eighth grade. Joining a class of more than 120 budding teens, she was no longer a one-person minority. Instead, you could name us on one hand.
Enough Vermont students face physical, verbal or cyber threats because of perceived differences that the state recently established a Harassment, Hazing and Bullying Prevention Advisory Council to explore solutions.
Growing up, Pohl-Moore didnt recall any overt shouts or shoving from classmates and received a good word and helping hand from many adults. Take the teacher who encouraged her to pursue track and field. Then again, was it because she tried the long jump or because she was the same color as most of the sports female Olympians?
I had no aptitude for that, so thats when I started to wonder how my relationships were being affected by race.
She knows such situations arent as simple as black and white. People can simultaneously be concerned yet clueless how they can make someone feel different. Many of her classmates only saw people of color through media extremes either an alarming composite sketch on the evening news or the affluent characters of The Cosby Show.
I got called Rudy a lot, she says, referring to one of the children on the latter telecast, and then, when I got older, I became Vanessa. Thats how people related to me around race because they didnt know what else to do.
Graduating high school in 1996, the honor roll student relocated to upstate New York to study counseling at Wells College and Syracuse University and work with clients in poverty and in prisons. She became the first African-American female administrator in the nearly century-old Onondaga County Department of Probation. Then, burning out after one too many cases, I decided I needed to go back to my roots.
The Mill River alumnus who vowed never to return came back as a counselor in 2009.
I noticed there were a few Latino students, more Asian students, a few more faces of color, and some students are beginning to embrace their rural heritage. You see camouflage on purses! I think access to media has really helped young people feel a little more pride in who they are. Its not about fitting in or being tolerated like it was when I was growing up, its about individual identity.
Consider a New York Times story this month headlined Generation LGBTQIA (Thats lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, ally/asexual just the start of a long list of terms a growing number of students are adopting).
I feel more hopeful that some are talking about the idea that its chic to be unique. At the same time, many students of color are saying the same things that I used to say: I wish wed talk about it, I wish wed do more. I still see the undertones of youre different and thats not good.
The n-word
Pohl-Moore cites the n-word.
Ill hear students using it in the hallway, she says matter-of-factly. The latest thing is its cool to not be politically correct. Students think its OK to wear the Confederate rebel flag. Ask them what they think it means and they say, its just that youre proud of being country, or a redneck.
Those who know history see much more. The state was the first to outlaw slavery, in 1777, and enroll and graduate a black college student, in 1823, who became the first African-American elected as a legislator, in 1836. But the Ku Klux Klan boasted Green Mountain membership as late as the 1920s, and University of Vermont students wore blackface and kinky wigs during an annual Kake Walk dance until 1969.
Its really easy for people to disconnect from history, Pohl-Moore says. We cant forget.
And so she educates sometimes without saying anything at all.
Just being here, just students seeing me at least theres somebody tangible in the building.
Her office features posters showing a rainbow of humanity and a stockpile of related multimedia materials.
I want us to get that racism is still going on today, Lee Mun Wah, maker of one of her librarys videos, says in an Oprah Winfrey segment. Weve got to stop to hear the anguish and the pain that goes with that. And each of us individually has to do something about it in our neighborhoods, in our schools and in our institutions.
Pohl-Moore starts by inviting visitors to relax in Big Red, her overstuffed chair where one student frightfully recalled a trip to Boston.
I was so scared, the teenager said. There were black people everywhere.
You realize, the counselor replied, that youre telling this to a black person?
Youre different, the teenager said. They had darker skin.
Such conversations only strengthen Pohl-Moores desire for more diversity education. She shares a letter she wrote as an 18-year-old asking the Mill River School Board to give the students and faculty a chance to learn about the importance of multiculturality not just for the sake of minorities, but for all students who need to better understand the world to enter and experience it fully.
I want students to make the right choice because its the right choice, not because Im a teacher and I said so, the educator says today. Most people can think of a time when they have felt unheard. They can use that experience to drive curiosity about how we relate with others.
Thats the question I think we all need to ask more, but I worry in Vermont we arent going to make significant progress until something really bad happens. Its unfortunate, but our society is reactive. How many more Newtowns are there going to have to be? Thats the only time we give pause and pay attention.
President Barack Obamas inauguration on Monday offers another moment.
Is it a turning point? My answer is no its a starting point. One person doesnt shatter the whole glass ceiling, they make a dent in it. In order for us to change the paradigm, in order for us to really get to a place where were making significant changes, it cant just be one sensational person.
Instead, she looks to all her students, as well as her three young children her supportive husband cares for back home. She acknowledges the states current winter-white landscape can seem cold. But she has reason to dig in and warm the seeds of spring.
Some days I feel starved for connection with people who reflect me, and I see my own kids searching for identity, beginning that who am I? But I know that if I dont stay here, if I dont do this work, whos going to? If Vermont can do something as huge as changing law on same-sex marriage, we also have the ability to lead on race.
On the trail:
A new Vermont African-American Heritage Trail features 10 historic sites, including a Lincoln family home and one of New Englands best documented underground railroad sites.
This trail anchors the stories of African-descended Vermonters to our landscape and, as such, does a great service in helping to change the history of our state from a predominately white story to what it has always been from the beginning, a multicultural endeavor, says Elise Guyette, author of Discovering Black Vermont: African American Farmers in Hinesburgh, 1790-1890.

Barre City Hall may get a facelift soon
Provided Photo A designers rendering shows some of the proposed changes to the Barre municipal building.
BARRE Maybe you cant fight City Hall, but nobody ever said you cant give it a well-deserved facelift.
Thats what is being proposed in Barre, where city officials have been presented a plan to spruce up the façade of the prominent building that has stood at the corner of North Main and Prospect streets since 1899.
The project has an estimated price tag just south of $115,000 and a funding source: some of the money that Barre businessman Charlie Semprebon left the city at his death in 2009. The need to tap the so-called Semprebon Fund, which has already financed a host of other civic improvement projects in Barre, could be reduced by as much as $20,000 if the city is awarded a state grant.
The work, which is partly cosmetic and partly structural, amounts to architecturalplastic surgery. Think a tummy tuck and Botox nothing radical, just an attempt to turn back the clock on a historic building that long ago started showing signs of its age. From peeling paint on its window sashes and sills to unsightly stains that can be traced to the rusting fire escape that snakes up its south-facing wall to the Barre Opera House, City Hall could sure use a little attention.
So says Jay White, an architect who working with a city committee developed a proposal that will accentuate some of the buildings most interesting attributes, address deferred maintenance and deal with a couple of cases of functional obsolescence.
The most striking changes would be to the front of the building. A concrete ramp that doesnt meet federal accessibility standards would be ripped out, granite steps would be replaced, and the entrance to a portion of the building that once housed the citys police department would be removed.
According to White, the concrete handicapped access ramp would be replaced by a painted metal version that would be a little longer, less steep, removable and located on the opposite side of the new front steps to City Hall.
The black ramp would run beneath the green-trimmed window of the citys zoning office, which would be replaced and modified, then mimicked next door where steps leading up to the door of the former police department are now located.
Repointing some of the buildings brick- and granite-work, repainting wooden sills and sashes, and ordering two custom-made oak doors for the front entry are parts of the proposal, as is a plan to install some ornamental lighting fixtures and LED spotlights one to illuminate the flag and the other to illuminate the semicircular stained glass window at the top of the arched entry to City Hall. The stained glass window, which is 12 feet wide and 6 feet tall, is part of the Opera House and would be lighted both inside and out to draw attention to it, White said.
Although fire codes prevent the permanent removal of the fire escape on the south side of City Hall, White said, it would be removed temporarily, sandblasted, painted with a rust-proof black paint and replaced after stains that streak the side of the building a mix of yellow brick and Barre Gray granite have been removed. The cage at the bottom of the fire escape would be removed.
Other changes to the south side of the building include installing a new oak door at the side entrance replacing the glass and aluminum fixture there. Basement windows would also be blocked in with granite and ornamental lighting installed. An obsolete alarm bell at the side entrance would be removed.
The rear of the building, which serves as the handicapped-accessible entrance to the Barre Opera House, would not be changed. That façade was redone as part of a $1 million project that was completed in 1993.
White said he would like to solicit bids next month and predicted the work could take up to four months. The City Council will ultimately decide whether to appropriate funding for the project.

Hawaii skier Toby Kravet continues to recover after his near-death experience in New Zealand. The 72-year-old had an accident while skiing that left both of his legs broken. He was stuck on a snow-covered mountain near Treble Cone in the freezing cold.
"I'm going downhill at a break-neck speed downhill and boom, I went into a gully and my skis went into the embankment on the other side," said Kravet.
Kravet says visibility was poor as weather moved in to the area near Treble Cone late in the day. He could have stayed in the lodge and called it a day but instead, he chose to go back up the mountain for one more run. He says at times, he could only see about 4 feet in front of him.
He attempted to ski down the mountain but went off course and ended up in a gulch.
"I rolled over and looked at my boot and my left boot is pointing towards my leg a little bit," said Kravet.
Both of Kravet's legs were broken, and he was miles from help, but just before sunset, he saw a helicopter.
"And I had grabbed my poles and I was waving them, and the helicopter didn't see me, and I knew at that point I was in for the night," said Kravet.
Death initially clouded Kravet's mind but his gut told him that he could make it through this situation despite the freezing temperature. Kravet says he went into survival mode.
"I'm going to have to stay awake, I'm going to be here all night, I cant let myself go to sleep and I have to keep my blood moving," said Kravet.
Kravet did sets of exercises that he made up on the fly including, 100 reps of clapping, hugging himself, and hitting his legs with his hands all night.
"I just knew that I had to keep doing what I was doing to stay alive," said Kravet.
After 17 hours waiting, help flew in.
"I was waving my poles and he came bee-lining to me," said Kravet. "I'm thinking I am a very fortunate man."
Kravet was able to finally return to Hawaii about a month after his injury. He'll be in rehab for at least another three weeks before being re-evaluated by his doctor. Kravet plans on someday skiing again at Treble Cone in New Zealand.

A former NFL player finally gets his hands on his Super Bowl ring after losing it 40 years ago.
The Super Bowl is the pinnacle for NFL players, so a victory ring is a hard earned treasure.
John Schmitt, the New York Jet's center in Super Bowl III, fought hard for his ring. He never took it off after that important victory.
"I had never seen a ring like that in my life. It was just unbelievable. I just couldn't stop looking at it. You know what you went through to get that, you know. I had two leg operations, three broken noses, countless broken bones and everything else," said Schmitt.
In 1971, on a trip to Hawaii, Schmitt's most precious prize slipped from his grasp.
"I rented a surf board. When I finally came in it was late afternoon and there was my hand with no ring on it. I got sick, I was so upset," said Schmitt.
The football player went home with an empty hand and a broken heart.
"There are thousands of men better than me who never go a sniff of a Super Bowl ring. Then for me to lose it, it just made you feel empty," said Schmitt.
Months later, in the waters off Waikiki a glittery discovery was made.
"One day my uncle, a lifeguard in Waikiki, found the ring while swimming. He came home and handed my aunt the ring. Not knowing what it was, she tucked it away and put in on the shelf," said Waikiki resident Cindy Saffery.
The ring sat on the shelf for decades, until long after her uncle and aunt's death. But several years ago, Cindy and her husband Samuel cleaned out a closet and made a surprise discovery.
"There in the box was the ring. And I said we need to return this ring to the owner," said Cindy.
Finally after 40 years apart, John would be reunited with his ring, as the Safferys went to New York.
"When he finally met us, he couldn't stop thanking us," said Samuel.
The ring had been appraised between $50,000 and $100,000, but the Safferys knew it wasn't their money.
"John earned it. It took a lot of hard work on his part, so I'm thankful and blessed that is it back in his hands," said Samuel.
The Safferys gave away a treasure, but they said they got much more in return -- John is now a part of their extended family. Schmitt said he plans on coming back to Hawaii, and will even take another surfing lesson in Waikiki, but he'll leave the ring safely behind in New York.

The Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma
February 5, 2013
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (February 1, 2013) - The Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma received $15,000 from funds raised during the 4th annual Matthew Gfeller Memorial Doughnut Run. The event raised over $30,000 from sponsors and participants to fund sports-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) research. The Matthew Gfeller Foundation distributed all proceeds evenly between the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma and The Matthew Gfeller Sport-Related Traumatic Brain Injury Research Center at UNC-Chapel Hill.
With the tremendous support of the community, The Matthew Gfeller Foundation continues to invest in projects, advocacy and fundraising events that positively impact the safety of young athletes.
"The Matthew Gfeller Foundation is funding vital research for children that may suffer from sports-related traumatic brain injuries," said Richard Childress, president and CEO of Richard Childress Racing and co-founder of the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma. "Bob and Lisa Gfeller have turned their family's tragedy into a way to save the lives of injured kids, and the Childress Institute will honor Matt's legacy and the Gfeller's mission with these funds."
Created by three of Matt's best friends, Camden Francis, John Lineberger and Thomas Keshian, the Matt Gfeller Memorial Doughnut Run is a lighthearted 5K run/walk for the entire community. On October 13, 2012, over 800 participants came again to celebrate the spirit of Matthew, eat lots of doughnuts and raise money for concussion research. The Foundation plans to host the 5th Matt Gfeller Memorial Doughnut Run this fall.
Lisa and Bob Gfeller will also attend the Youth Sports Safety Summit convened by the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA) on February 5-6. This Summit focuses on injury trends in youth sports and finalizing a National Action Plan and Student Athlete's Bill of Rights to deliver to Congress. The Gfeller-Waller Concussion Act was signed into NC law in June 2011. North Carolina schools are now required to have an emergency action plan in place and a doctor or certified athletic trainer must give consent for the student to return to play.
On March 8-9, 2013, The Matthew Gfeller Center at UNC-CH will host the Second Biannual Matthew Gfeller Sport-Related Neurotrauma Symposium in the BlueZone at Kenan Football Stadium. All Forsyth County Athletic Trainers are being sponsored by the Matthew Gfeller Foundation to attend this conference.

International travel destination: Cape Town, South Africa
Kari Iverson spent months traveling around the world. Get her tips on what to see and do in Cape Town, South Africa.
For travelers from the north, winter grows long and a warm destination is often a desired escape. If you are looking to mix relaxation with adventure and gain a multicultural experience visit Cape Town, South Africa.
Cape Town is a unique city; it offers stunning views of the city from Table Mountain and Lion's Head Mountain, delicious wine tasting at the vineyards in Stellenbosch and breathtaking sunsets on the rocks of Camp's Bay.
If you're looking for an adrenaline rush, cliff jumping might be for you. Tour guides have different locations they bring visitors so they can safely take part in the fun. Another popular adventure for tourists in Cape Town is to go diving with great white sharks. Sharks are among the most feared predators in the world. Shark diving will give you the opportunity to see the great whites up close and personal as they charge toward the cage that protects you.
Slightly less frightening, but nonetheless exhilarating, beaches all over Cape Town are known to be great for surfing. Beaches in Muizinberg are especially good for beginners since the waves are somewhat smaller.
Taking a tour of the peninsula is a must when in Cape Town. Get a taste of South African culture from the beautiful white sand beaches of Muizinberg to the adorable penguins at Boulders Beach near Simonstown, a quaint naval town. Make sure to take time to taste a few South African treats along the way. Savor the taste of a Don Pedro, a sweet milkshake with a hint of whiskey, hazelnut alcohol or Baileys -- it lives up to its infamous reputation. Later, in Simonstown, enjoy a South African lamb-filled "pie" from the bakery Sweet Nothings while sitting on the boulders along the ocean.
Finally, travel to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and Cape Point. Standing on the most Southwestern point of Africa and looking over the never-ending ocean is incredible. If visiting during whale watching season, many are lucky enough to see Southern right whales and Humpback whales. Troops of baboons and wild ostriches also run free on the reserve. Finishing the day at Table Mountain, a dramatic flat-topped mountain with stunning views of the city, for sunset is the perfect end to a beautiful day around Cape Town.
South Africa is known as the "rainbow nation" because of its diversity. Although it is difficult to turn your head away from the scenic views along the coast, it is important to recognize that not everyone in Cape Town lives a glamorous life.
There are more than 100 townships -- unofficial settlements -- in Cape Town where thousands of people are crammed into shacks and unsanitary living conditions. Most live without running water or electricity; walls of homes are made with tarps, metal or whatever can be found. Families struggle to send their children to school and find work. However, if you can make your way past the physical appearance of the township and experience the culture behind the walls you leave the township a changed person.

We cannot turn away againJanuary 12,2013
In 1791, when the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was adopted, the state of firearm technology was the flintlock musket. With proper training, a good flint, dry weather and a dose of luck, one could launch a single somewhat errant lead ball every 30 seconds or so. Today, a novice shooter, with each split-second pull of the trigger, can fire a deadly accurate bullet specifically designed to liquidate human flesh. Once the 30-magazine clip is spent, it takes about two seconds to snap on a new one.
The U.S. is now soaked in private weaponry, much of it designed for war. Our fascination with guns, and the fierce protection of the freedom to keep and bear them without meaningful regulation, mystifies the rest of the civilized world. In recent years, there has not even been any serious debate — let alone action — on the proper role of civilian firearms in this country. We have instead surrendered fully to the National Rifle Association and its bullying political muscle. If you are a responsible gun owner, consider abandoning that group to its true constituents — gun manufacturers and those who believe their assault weapons are all that stand between them and, well, their right to carry their assault weapons. Their agenda is not your agenda.
The Newtown tragedy is often described as unspeakable. But it should be spoken, be heard, and be remembered: the sudden explosion of bullets, the shrieks of panic, the cries of pain, the falling of bloodied friends and trusted adults, the gore, the horror and the instant evaporation of all things known and true. Innocent lives slaughtered, a community irretrievably shattered.
This nightmare, and those that have preceded and those that will follow, surely cannot be accepted as mere costs of freedom. We must together stand up and demand a rational, constructive response by our senators, our representative, our governor and our other leaders. As the president has said, the politics will be hard. But to again turn away from the challenge would be shameful and a profound dishonor to the precious lives lost and our hopes for a safe and just society. I believe our Founding Fathers would agree.

U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, a Republican from Oklahoma, released a report in 2012 detailing wasteful government spending. See some of the most outrageous ways your tax dollars are squandered.
Funds in the wind: The Air Force attempted a $14 million construction project to convert three Alaskan radar stations from diesel to wind turbine energy using stimulus funds. However, the Air Force had no assurance the project was properly planned or would result in any cost savings, according to the Department of Defense Inspector General.
As a result, the Inspector General told the Air Force to shut down their construction efforts at one station altogether, and to consider ending the other two before spending more taxpayer funds on the botched effort.
Up and away: A federal airport assistance program spent $6 million to assist small airports in 2011, but has little to show for its efforts in over a decade of assistance. A 2005 review by the Government Accountability Office found the program to have achieved mixed results and that only about half of its projects helped achieve sustainability.
Not stacking up: Almost $800,000 of federal taxpayer funds went to subsidize a pancake restaurant in the nation's capital. An International House of Pancakes (IHOP) franchise was built with financial assistance courtesy of the federal government. It was intended to help an "underserved community."
The new IHOP is not located in an "underserved community", but a popular Washington D.C. neighborhood. The neighborhood is Columbia Heights, which has become a local shopping hot spot for some and "one of Washington's more desirable neighborhoods."
The bridges to nowhere in Alaska may be the most infamous symbols of government excess and waste. Both bridges are still going nowhere and may never go anywhere. The proposed 2.7-mile bridge would connect a small Alaskan community with the Anchorage area, at a cost supporters say will run between $650 million and $700 million.
At least $15.3 million was spent on the project in 2011 alone. Federal taxpayer money has been directed to various aspects of the project, including $57,390 for a 14-minute video, "The Knik Arm Crossing, Bridge to Our Future."
Dead Benjamins: The federal government sent an average of $120 million in retirement and disability payments to deceased former federal employees every year for several years. In a September 2011 report, the Inspector General (IG) for the U.S. Office of Personnel Management found that "the amount of post-death improper payments is consistently $100- $150 million annually, totaling over $601 million in the last five years."
In one example, the Inspector General found, an annuitant's son cashed his dead father's checks for 37 years. The son's scheme, which cost taxpayers more than $500,000, was discovered in 2008, when he himself died. The improper payment was not recovered, the Inspector General reported.
Zapped: The International Center for the History of Electronic Games (ICHEG) received over $100,000 in federal funds for video game preservation. According to the organization's website, it "collects, studies, and interprets video games, other electronic games, and related materials and the ways in which electronic games are changing how people play, learn, and connect with each other, including across boundaries of culture and geography."
In the red: America's national debt surpassed $16 trillion, much of which it borrowed from a variety of foreign countries. China, whose U.S. debt holdings exceed $1.1 trillion, is at the top of that list. Taxpayers might be shocked to learn that each year the United States provides millions in aid to China.
In 2011, the U.S. government spent nearly $18 million on foreign aid programs to its biggest sovereign lender. This included $2.5 million for social services and about $4.4 million for programs to improve China's environment. Effectively, the U.S. borrowed $18 million from China to give to China.
Straight from the puppets mouth: In 2010, Rafi Peer Theatre Workshop, a Pakistani arts organization, was awarded $20 million over the next four years, to create "130 episodes of an indigenously produced 'Sesame Street.'"
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) provided the first $10 million for the project in FY 2011. The Pakistan Sesame Street would be produced in cooperation with Sesame Workshop, creators of the original Sesame Street.
Nothing up my sleeve: Nearly $150,000 in federal funds went to the American Museum of Magic in Marshall, Michigan, which "celebrates magicians and their magic."
Home Improvement: As much as $1 billion or more in tax credits for energy efficient residential improvements are being claimed by individuals with no record of owning a home, including prisoners and underage children.
Based on a review of a statistically valid sample by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, 30 percent of the individuals who claimed the credit "had no record of owning a home." Nearly a half-a-million dollars of tax credits were being claimed by hundreds of prisoners and children within the TIGTA sample.
It is unclear why the state needs help promoting a very successful industry. The $40 million industry is the third largest in the nation in total trees harvested with about 3 million trees. The state also grows more than 2.3 million Poinsettias' annually.
High flying: The University of Kentucky received a grant of $181,406 in 2010 from the National Institute of Health to study how cocaine enhances the sex drive of Japanese quail. In 2011, grant funding was extended and an additional $175,587 was provided for the study.
Up in smoke: The Virginia Commonwealth University received $55,000 in 2011 (part of a larger $170,000 grant) to study changes in the hookah smoking habits of students in the nation of Jordan. The study sought to answer the question: "How many Jordanian students believe that water pipe tobacco smoking is more harmful than cigarettes smoking?" The answer, provided by your tax dollars, is 62.2 percent.

A California couple is accused of kidnapping a handyman and forcing him to do repairs at their sprawling mansion.
Jason DeJesus, 36, and Chanelle Troedson, 33, lured the 50-year-old victim to their San Jose home Monday morning, detectives told San Francisco's KCBS.
According to police, the couple beat the handyman, threatened to kill him and forced him to fix several items in the house over a six-hour span.
The repairs included a dishwasher and a broken door.
On Monday night, the couple forced the man to drive them to a relative's home in his truck to make more repairs, ABC News reported.
They stopped for gas on the way, and the man escaped and called police when the couple went inside, police said.

Two mentally disabled newlyweds and their parents have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit so that they may live as married couple.
Paul Forziano and Hava Samuels got married last month, but the state-sanctioned nonprofits that run the group homes they live in have a strict rule which forbids residents from sharing bedrooms, according to The Associated Press.
The couple and their parents said they have been seeking a solution since 2010 and only filed a lawsuit that after Forziano and Samuels were flat-out refused permission from their respective group homes to live together as husband and wife. "It's not something we wanted to do, it's something we had to do," said Bonnie Samuels, the mother of the bride.
The lawsuit contends Forziano's facility refused because people requiring the services of a group home are by definition incapable of living as married people. Samuels' home refused because it believes she doesn't have the mental capacity to consent to sex.
This case put the Americans With Disabilities Act, which says that "a public entity shall make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures ... to avoid discrimination on the basis of disability" into the spotlight. The group homes are licensed as nonprofits by the state and receive Medicaid funding on behalf of their clients.
Experts say it is difficult to estimate how many mentally disabled people are married, since states ask no questions about a person's mental capacity on marriage licenses.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ReviewBy Matt Keil - Posted Nov 10, 2009
Nobody does war like Infinity Ward. Its 'Call of Duty' titles have evolved from excellent examples of the first-person shooter genre to a redefinition of what gamers expect from a war title. With 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2', Infinity Ward takes the already solid foundation laid in 'Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare' and polishes it to a jaw-dropping shine.
The Pros
- Intense single player campaign with great characters and shocking twists
- Tons of co-op missions with high level challenge
- Multiplayer polished and improved with more options and unlocks
The Cons
- 3rd person multiplayer modes are novelties at best
Nobody does war like Infinity Ward. Its Call of Duty titles have evolved from excellent examples of the first-person shooter genre to a redefinition of what gamers expect from a war title. With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward takes the already solid foundation laid in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and polishes it to a jaw-dropping shine.
There are three distinct components to Modern Warfare 2: The single player campaign continues the story that began in COD4, Spec Ops offers co-op versions of most of the action setpieces from the single player campaign plus some extras, and multiplayer is a highly refined version of what so many of us have already poured hundreds of hours into. The most impressive thing about all three modes is that Infinity Ward has not been content to rest on its laurels and simply churn out a clone of its already successful game. The stakes have been raised in almost every aspect of Modern Warfare 2.
War…War Never Changes
Five years after the events of COD4, a cabal--loyal to the terrorists you previously dispatched--has set forth a series of machinations that lead to unthinkable consequences. America is invaded by a foreign power, and the campaign hops back and forth between the men defending U.S. soil and those attempting to bring the true culprits to justice before it's too late. The campaign in Modern Warfare 2 is a bit easier than Call of Duty 4's campaign and while there are places that seem to utilize the infinitely spawning enemies COD4 was infamous for, it's hidden far better in Modern Warfare 2. Your allies are always ready and willing to move up, help check the corners, and even prompt you to keep going forward so the bottleneck moments that frustrated some no longer exist.
The variety in the single player is frankly stunning. On many occasions, Infinity Ward has stated their ambition to capture the excitement and intensity of a blockbuster action film in its games and Modern Warfare 2 is their greatest success thus far. Over the course of the story, you'll infiltrate arctic bases, race to safety on stolen snowmobiles, sprint for your life over the slum rooftops of Rio, hold down fast food restaurants against invading armies, and liberate the White House from enemy hands. Every level in Modern Warfare 2's campaign could be the standout moment in just about any other shooter.
Of course, there's one other thing you do that has already become somewhat infamous. Yes, at one point you do participate in what is best described as a terrorist action against innocent civilians. In context of the story, the scene makes sense and is the catalyst for most of the events in the game. You are given the option to skip the level when you start up Modern Warfare 2 for the first time, although there is no summary or alternate cutscene that replaces it. You're also not required to actually fire on civilians. You can simply watch until the armed reinforcements arrive, at which time you must fight or die. While it may offend some, it's a risk that was boldly taken by Infinity Ward and the story is better for it.
The solo campaign is noticeably more balanced than COD4's single player campaign. Modern Warfare 2 avoids the choke points that could become problems in COD4. Even on Veteran difficulty, which in previous Call of Duty games has traditionally been a brutal slog used by expert players to test their patience levels, is a much more carefully tuned experience. If you have the skills to handle the opponents thrown at you, playing Modern Warfare 2 on Veteran difficulty is fun to play, and is yet another example of the attention to detail present in the campaign.
You Can Be My Wingman Any Time
In response to the huge demand for co-op gameplay, Modern Warfare 2 includes Spec Ops mode, a collection of increasingly difficult missions designed for two players. Spec Ops covers most of the major action setpieces of the solo campaign, as well as giving players glimpses of what was happening elsewhere during the events of the main game. Also included in Spec Ops are a few favorite moments that evoke COD4's highlights, such as the "AC-130 Overwatch" mission and the nerve-wracking "Hidden" mission, which sends you up against ghillie-suited enemy snipers that are extraordinarily hard to spot in the tall grass.
A wide variety of mission types, from races to Horde mode-style defense to timed bomb disposal runs, will keep you and a friend playing long after the campaign is complete. More and more missions are unlocked as you earn stars by tackling higher difficulties with your buddy. Spec Ops can be played online or splitscreen, and either way offers a fantastic way to extend the life of the finely-crafted single player sequences. Perhaps best of all, these missions are no pushovers, and only the best COD players will earn all 69 Spec Ops stars.
Give 'Em Hell, Soldiers
Finally, the third component of Modern Warfare 2 is the competitive multiplayer. Call of Duty 4's addictive and streamlined online experience has been given a healthy tweaking, in all ways for the better. The perk system has been fully rebalanced, creating interesting new class builds as well as eliminating some irritations. In particular, the removal of the bonus grenade perks has made the multiplayer mode much more of a gun-oriented game. It's tough to spam grenades when everyone only has one to begin with, and the game is greatly improved as a result.
Kill streak rewards have been given a major overhaul as well. There are now rewards for up to 25 kills, including a tactical nuke that automatically ends the game. Players can choose their preferred kill streak rewards from emergency air drops, air support from Predator missile drones and hovering Pave Low gunships, or they can even hop into the gunner's seat of an AC-130 or helicopter and mow down the opposition from on high. You have to earn your kill streaks with your own gun now, as the heavy hardware you summon no longer adds to your streak total. Luckily, even if your team is getting hammered, a four-kill streak nets you a care package drop that can contain anything from a simple ammo re-supply to much-needed air support. If you're really good, you can even steal your enemies' package drops, a tactic that can become a major game changer. As a result, the battlefield in Modern Warfare 2 is far more active.
The leveling system and various unlocks have returned, but now the level cap has been boosted to 70. Modern Warfare 2 awards points for just about anything you do now, up to and including snapping a series of scoreless deaths. Also, there are new titles and icons you can use to personalize your online appearance, much like those used in Street Fighter IV. These are unlocked similarly to achievements or trophies and are awarded for doing pedestrian things such as racking up numerous headshots, but also include more subtle accomplishments like watching a large number of killcam replays to their conclusions. All in all, you're given some kind of goodie during or at the end of almost every match you play. The game presses that little reward button in your brain so often that even when you're doing badly, it's hard to become frustrated; however, it's still easy to lose hours trying to rank up or unlock that next gun attachment.
Numerous playlists of the various gameplay types can be selected for ranked matches and social matches allow more finely customized settings. New to the mix is Demolition, a variant of the Search and Destroy game type that allows respawns and leads to incredibly heated battles over preset bomb sites. This game type is perhaps best suited to showing off the larger and more vertically-oriented maps Modern Warfare 2 has to offer. The sheer number of routes, hiding places, nooks and crannies to be discovered in the 16 multiplayer maps is truly impressive. You'll quickly learn to look up a lot more than in any previous COD games.
Also new is third-person gameplay in specifically designated playlists. These play pretty much like the regular game, except that you can see your character onscreen. It's a nice novelty, but it feels strange and exposes some of the animation quirks of the game, which aren't nearly as noticeable in first-person mode. It feels like something most players will try once or twice before settling comfortably back into Team Deathmatch.
At this point, it's probably fair to compare Infinity Ward's evolution to Bungie's trajectory. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is to COD4 what Halo 3 was to Halo 2. COD4 was a tremendous shift in ambition, setting and feature sets, but the developer's sequel, Modern Warfare 2, is a refinement and near-perfecting of what was already pretty darn good to begin with. Modern Warfare 2 could have just been a retread of what we've already played, offering up another spoonful of reheated content, and it would have suffered no dip in sales. Instead, Infinity Ward has delivered a follow-up that feels pleasantly familiar, yet still surprises, delights and innovates in ways that few sequels to best-selling entertainment properties have dared to in the past.

I'm glad I had my madeleines out of the oven before I started reading. Jenny, why didn't you bring Socrates?.
Socrates was a wise and clever man, he never could be wrong. That's why near the end of his book I thought he did not deserve the poison, but he sure did deserve Xantippe.
Tsuwm's advise to write offline and copy is really a good one. Far more relaxed. To me the outcome looks very undetermined in spite or maybe just because of the 99 species of determinism in the wiki article.

Dear, dear, tsuwm; disarticulated facts are the stuff of idiot savants. Read here the semantic evidence for Determinism. And if after reading it you don't understand it go back and read it again because you have done a poor job of putting it together.
1) In your mind multiply the total number of atoms in the universe times their interactions with other atoms since the Big Bang exploded fifteen billion years ago.
2) Life is defined by self-replication and change.
3) Lifeforms as entities extend into the environment.
4) Thoughts and words are physical extentions of lifeforms.
5) Nothing can't beget something.

But, it you believe in an omnipresent and ompnipotent god, all that is necessary is the (mind; will; existence? pick what you want) of god. Surely, that is what St John was saying? The universe was made extant by the Word.
[personally, I don't believe any of the above, but I think it is a viable argument]
PS And te Word of God is not of us, though with us, and is, therefore, not a pre-existing condition!

The concept of an omniscient God who is outside of time and the concept of free-will seem to me to be mutually exclusive. But that's why we try not to talk about religion here.

What, Faldage? You got a mouse in your pocket? WE here can discuss whatever we please as long as WE are not rude or vulgar.
RC, Olly, BranShe, you, and me, are not talking religion, we are talking Determinism so stay on point. Now listen closely...
In the begining was the Word. And the word was God and the word was with God.
Which translates deterministically as...
Inherent with the Big Bang were all events to follow.

So, think some cosmologists. There are theories of multiple big bangs. Multiple universes, too. Not everybody agrees._________________________

A New Jersey middle school has banned girls from wearing strapless dresses to an eighth grade dance.
The reason for the ban, says the school principal Sharon Moffat, is that the dresses are too distracting to the boys, reports ABCNews.
Moffat sent out a letter to parents restricting girls from wearing dresses without straps to their eighth grade formal in which she stated, "Young gentleman are encouraged to wear collared shirts and trousers, young ladies should wear a skirt, dress with straps or a dressy pants outfit."
The Readington Township School District and superintendent both support Moffat's decision, but several parents are upset by the policy.

Another major Dell shareholder opposes $24.4B saleBy MICHAEL LIEDTKE
The Associated Press | February 13,2013AP PHOTO
In this Nov. 13, 2000 photo, Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO of Dell, speaks during his keynote address at Comdex, in Las Vegas.SAN FRANCISCO A shareholder rebellion against Dells proposed $24.4 billion sale to its founder and other investors is gaining more support, fueling a belief that the struggling personal computer maker will have to wrangle a higher price to get the deal done.
Mutual fund firm T. Rowe Price joined the opposition Tuesday. T. Rowe Price and another shareholder, Southeastern Asset Management, believe that founder and CEO Michael Dell and the investment firm Silver Lake are being allowed to seize control and end Dell Inc.s 25-year history as a publicly held company for too little money.
We believe the proposed buyout does not reflect the value of Dell, and we do not intend to support the offer as put forward, T. Rowe Price Chairman Brian Rogers said in a statement.
T. Rowe Price and Southeastern are the two largest independent shareholders and own nearly 13 percent of the company combined. Michael Dell has committed his 14 percent stake toward the deal, but he is the only investor to own more stock than either of the two.
Although Dell remains one of the worlds largest technology companies, with about $57 billion in annual revenue, it has become less attractive to investors as smartphones and tablet computers siphon sales away from PCs. To make matters worse, Dell has been losing market share to its rivals. The company once was the worlds largest PC maker, but now ranks third behind Hewlett-Packard Co. and Lenovo Group.
Michael Dell believes it will be easier to accelerate Dells expansion into more lucrative areas such as technology consulting and business software if the company doesnt have to cater to Wall Streets fixation on whether profits are rising from one quarter to the next.
The company, which is based in Round Rock, Texas, said it remains convinced that it is selling at a fair price, which represents a 25 percent premium from where the stock stood before word of the buyout negotiations leaked last month. During the talks, Dells board said it also considered a wide range of other alternatives. The proposed price of $13.65 is more than 40 percent below Dells stock price of roughly $24 six years ago when Dell returned for a second stint as CEO.
Southeastern, which came out against the proposed deal last week, argues that Dell is worth $23.72 per share, or about $42 billion. T. Rowe Price didnt provide an estimate of what it believes Dell is worth.
In a Tuesday research note, Jefferies analyst Peter Misek predicted the current offer will have to be sweetened to $15 per share, or nearly $27 billion, to placate riled shareholders.
Dells stock is now trading above the current offer, a sign that more investors are becoming convinced the bid will be raised. Dells shares gained 12 cents to $13.81 in late afternoon trading Tuesday.
The door remains open for another suitor to emerge. Dell said it will accept other bids until late March.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight. Full StoryOXON HILL, Md.

If you're looking to change up your workout, inline skating might be a good option for you.
According to the Inline Skating Resource Center, inline skating can offer as much benefit as running or cycling.
Inline skaters can burn about 285 calories in a 30-minute workout when skating at a comfortable speed, according to the Inline Skating Resource Center.
The resource center also stated that inline skating is a better aerobic workout than cycling, although it falls second to running. The Inline Skating Resource Center says this is because you can't glide as often or easily on inline skates as you can when cycling, but you can't glide at all while running.
While running may be a better aerobic workout than inline skating, it is harder on your joints. Inline skating causes little impact to your joints.

Hawaii designer Andy South is living life as a woman and, for the first time on television, she's speaking out about being transgendered.
She made the change two years ago, but says the time has come to be open about it.
When we met South in 2010, he was a finalist on the hit television show "Project Runway" opening his Atelier design shop.
But, South was unsettled in a big way. He wanted to be a woman.
Now, he's well on his way. He is living as a she changing her name to Ariyapong Southipong.
In a general setting, I'll use Ari. But, sometimes Andy South is more recognizable," said Southipong. "It's a little easier for people to pick up, oh -- it's that Andy guy. Oh well, not a guy."
This son of Waianae catfish farmers says he knew he was gay at a young age and later realized he was transgendered.
"I would see glimpses of someone else and that someone else was a woman," said Southipong.
He made the decision to go forward with the transition, but then stopped just before Project Runway keeping it a secret.
"Because I didn't want it to interfere with my talent," explained Southipong.
With his professional life in order, she's now taking care of his personal life receiving shots twice a month to boost estrogen.
"All those things I battled growing up now make sense because I'm now in the right body," said Southipong.
People want to know -- did Southipong have surgery?
"As of now, no. It's only been a year of hormone replacement therapy," said Southipong. "But, honestly, I'm allowing my body to change as it normally would."
Southipong says her designs have even changed from dark and edgy to light, floral and wearable.
The Andy South line sells at luxury retailer Neiman Marcus and she's doing production for Hawaii designer Sig Zane. For this 26-year-old trailblazer, career and personal success are finally being sewn together.
"It feels great because for someone who is transgender that you have always felt was appropriate for you. It's freedom," said Southipong.
Freedom to be more at peace in her own skin.
Ari says there can be awkward moments when people say "he" or "she," but says her family, friends and fans are supportive.
