The winner has 180 days to claim the prize.
Kroger will receive $10,000 for selling the winning ticket.
The final amount for the jackpot was $648 million with a cash option of $347.6 million.

Math Is Hard, Let's Go to the Angels Game! + Rootin' for the Enemy and Beware of Hitchhiking Mantises
I'm a freak, I admit it. I loved math in school. Algebra, geometry, trig, calc, it all appealed. I was even working on a math minor in college until multiple variable calculus. Trippy stuff that. Once I stopped being able to see what the shapes were doing in my head. *tap, tap* I'm out. But I still enjoy it. Problem solving. Statistics. Wonderful stuff! But this elimination number math? Yuck! That's an entirely different story.
Oh I am familiar with it. Between my Dodger fan childhood and my Angels fan adulthood, I have _plenty_ of experience with elimination number math, I'm afraid, and just enough experience with magic number math to know that I significantly prefer that…then again, don't we all? The Angels have certainly spoiled me more years than not this past decade but, especially with last season's refresher course, I'm not too rusty to torture myself with endless "what if" elimination number math scenarios. Tom Godwin had the Cold Equations. I call these the Desperate Equations.
Could it happen this way?:
If the Rangers lose one and the Angels win two, and the Rangers lose one and then another one, and another two and the Angels win one and then another two and two more…
Or, maybe, could it happen this way?:
If the Red Sox lose one, and lose one more, and the Rays lose two, and the Red Sox lose one and the Rays lose two more, and the Angels win four…
So, one plus one plus two plus one… Hmmmm….anyone else overcome with an irrational desire to watch Clue?😉
All equations point to the fact that the Angels still have a chance. But with another loss to their record, and especially if they continue committing those kind of errors, it's a thin wisp of a chance, even after this evening's win. If they win just about every game left. If the Rangers or the Red Sox and the Rays start losing, a lot. If. If. If…suffice to say, it's pretty darned iffy. But stranger things have happened.
I still have hope. I am practical and this is far from my first September rodeo, but I have hope. And I have tickets to Friday night's game against the A's and Monday night's game against the Rangers. One way or the other, however these equations work themselves out, I want to enjoy watching my team play as much as possible. After all, whether it starts at the end of October or September, it's a long, cold, baseball-less winter. Gotta gorge yourself while the game's in season…and if the solution to either of the equations works out to a be Red, Halo'd October, I want to be there to see it.
* * * * *
And sadly, as part of the Desperate Equations, I find myself once again rooting for the Yankees. The AL West is so…well…the AL West that this happens once or twice a season out of necessity. The enemy of my enemy is…still really distasteful to root for truth be told but, much like when I rooted for the Red Sox against the Rangers a few weeks ago, it has be done.
However, it amuses me to no end that Red Sox fans are rooting for the Yankees along with me at the moment. Red Sox fans, you're a little newer at this rooting for the enemy thing than some of the rest of us, so I offer you the following advice from another favorite movie:
The shame is like the pain. You only feel it once.
And that is absolutely…not true. But the shame and the pain do get a little be better each time. Enjoy.😉
* * * * *
On a more humorous note, when Seth and I stopped for gas on the way out of town this weekend, we noticed we had a hitchhiker on the pedal of my bike:
We tried to coax the little guy off, but he was so stubborn he would have none of it. And he had two broken back legs so we figured we would just let him be. Maybe the wind would give him enough of a lift to fly away when we took off. But no, the next morning when we went to unload our bikes for our morning ride, some 245 miles away, he was still in the truck bed and very much alive. This time he let us move him to the grass. Maybe he was hoping to catch some sort of wounded mantis transport for Florida? It was like the Incredible Journey in search of LoMo.

Well the Angels did themselves a huge favour last night by taking it to the Jays. It's funny how in a season that is 162 games, some teams are often left wishing there were 163 or 164.
…or 165. You hit the nail right on the head Bluejaysnest.
— Kristen
The only math I ever enjoyed was calculating my batting average in little league! Loved the pic of the praying mantis. What a ride he must have had.
Well, I did start out by admiting I'm a freak.😉 Yeah, this is one well traveled mantis, a rregular explorer for mantis kind.
— Kristen
You're math is right. Bottom line, Angels gotta win and stop whiffin'. This is getting a bit ridiculous. And that is one determined mantis! Just think, if he and his family and descendants stayed on your bike pedal for several hundreds of thousands of years, they wouldn't look like foliage anymore, they'd look like bike pedals!
Getting ridiculous Jeff? I'd say we'd arrived at that destination a week ago at least. !s for the mantis, I obviously preferred to leave him unharmed but if he had refused to vacate the bike pedal I think a more abrupt evolutionary event would have occurred and he would have most closely resembled a squashed mantis when I went to ride my bike…unless he wanted to hang out on the handle bars or something. Then we could have reached a compromise, LOL. But the grass in Cambria is much better.
— Kristen
Well, the Red Sox are doing their part for you…
And Angels fans everywhere are grateful for their contribution!! But I'm not chilling champagne bottles just yet or anything. Your guys have the Yankees up next and they have owned the pin striped ones all season so who knows….Hang on everyone! The ride's about to start in Five. Four. Three…
— Kristen
Great pics, Kristen. I hope the Angels can sneak into the playoffs, but math was never really my subject (I have enough trouble helping the kids with their 3rd/4th Grade homework….). That's a creepy looking mantis. Not sure if we have them way up here or not…maybe just too cold.
Thanks Mike! They sure are torturing me with the possibility, that's for sure. Hey, I said I was a freak about the math.😉 I think the mantis is kind of cute. We get them around here sometimes and usually they are bright green. But I bet your are right and they wouldn't survive the winter where you are.
— Kristen
Kristen: I was worried how I'd finish off my first blog season in September while being a busy high school coach in the Fall – but not to worry – I write about the Orioles – no math needed at this school. But, we finish the season with the Red Sox and can maybe do you some good. OK – some numbers – if we win one of the last six games, we have more wins than 2010. This is what millions of dollars of free agents can do for a team!
Osay – Thanks for dropping by my blog! Did I say the Orioles playing spoiler over the weekend was annoying? Well I was clearly mistaken. It's awesome and the Orioles should do it for the rest of the season!!😉 In all seriousness, I hope your O's do finish better this season than last and keep building so that next year all of these division races are in doubt until the last possible minute.
— Kristen
Ugh, math. I was good at it, but never liked it. I've always felt that's why God created calculators (or at least created some humans who liked math enough to create calculators for the rest of us). Love the mantis pic – we get them in our front flower beds every year. The babies are hard to see on the shrubs, and the little devils can jump! I had never realized that – it startled the crap out of me the first time I saw it.
Sue – Well at the very least long division is why God created calcuators, LOL. Boring, tedious stuff to do by hand, that. Jumping baby mantises would certainly startle a person. I think I prefer my mantises quietly hanging out on my fence…or my bike pedal as the case may be.
— Kristen

"In his acceptance speech as Chairman of the Assembly of the African Union (AU) in February 2010, President Bingu wa Mutharika of Malawi said:
One challenge we all face is poverty, hunger and malnutrition of large populations. Therefore achieving food security at the African level should be able to address these problems. I would therefore request the AU Assembly to share the dream that five years from now no child in Africa should die of hunger and malnutrition. No child should go to bed hungry. I realize that this is an ambitious dream but one that can be realized. We all know that Africa is endowed with vast fertile soils, favourable climates, vast water basins and perennial rivers that could be utilized for irrigation farming and lead to the Green Revolution, and mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. We can therefore grow enough food to feed everyone in Africa. I am, therefore, proposing that our agenda for Africa should focus on agriculture and food security. I propose that our slogan should be: "Feeding Africa through New Technologies: Let Us Act Now."
This statement lays out a clear vision of how to approach Africa's agricultural challenge. This book builds on this optimistic outlook against a general background of gloom that fails to account for a wide range of success stories across the continent. African agriculture is at the crossroads. Persistent food shortages are now being compounded by new threats arising from climate change. But Africa faces three major opportunities that can help transform its agriculture to be a force for economic growth. First, advances in science, technology, and engineering worldwide offer Africa new tools needed to promote sustainable agriculture. Second, efforts to create regional markets will provide new incentives for agricultural production and trade. Third, a new generation of African leaders is helping the continent to focus on long-term economic transformation. This book provides policy-relevant information on how to align science, technology, and engineering missions with regional agricultural development goals.
This book argues that sustaining African economic prosperity will require significant efforts to modernize the continent's economy through the application of science and technology in agriculture. In other words, agriculture needs to be viewed as a knowledge-based entrepreneurial activity. The argument is based on the premise that smart investments in agriculture will have multiplier effects in many sectors of the economy and help spread prosperity. More specifically, the book focuses on the importance of boosting support for agricultural research as part of a larger agenda to promote innovation, invest in enabling infrastructure, build human capacity, stimulate entrepreneurship and improve the governance of innovation...."

Rimmel's Stay Matte Pressed Powder, to my knowledge, is probably one of the most popular beauty products you can get on the high street. Generally speaking I hate a powdery finish on my face; it looks unnatural and I just think dewy skin looks so much better - perhaps because my skin has never been oily so lacks any hint of shine. However, I also hate the idea of product transferring from my face onto other things such as clothes and generally wearing down during the day, so I like to have some kind of finishing product to secure my makeup. I actually wanted the transparent shade but it's always out of stock so I plumped for the shade 'Peach Glow' instead, as other options sounded too dark or too pink for my skin tone.
I can't really see any colour from this powder when applied so I guess it's either a pretty good match or they're all quite translucent in colour - which I would say is a good thing anyway. It doesn't leave a powdery finish but just sets foundation and any other cream/liquid products, ready for application of powder bronzers/blushes. It's lightweight but does the job great and a quick dusting with a fluffy brush helps my base stay put for longer. Stay Matte is fragrance free so it won't irritate the skin or clog pores which is great for such an inexpensive product. The packaging isn't the best as I find the slot-on lid can come off really easily, so if I'm using it on the go I'll make sure it's stored safely to avoid any mess. I don't think that one little hiccup detracts from the products though, it's a great little product I'd recommend to anyone (provided there's a match for you - a limited shade selection is one of the main drawbacks of cheaper brands unfortunately).
Have you tried this powder? Do you feel the same as me in regards to finishing products or prefer to go without?

Michael Bush had a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs and the Chicago defense smothered Christian Ponder in a one-sided win over visiting Minnesota.
Jay Cutler threw for 188 yards and a touchdown in his return from a concussion and the Bears (8-3) forced three turnovers to bounce back from a decisive loss to San Francisco last Monday. Brandon Marshall was Cutler's top target, hauling in 12 passes for 92 yards.
Ponder was just 22-of-43 for 159 yards with a TD and an interception for the Vikings (6-5), who came out flat in their first game after the bye. Adrian Peterson rumbled for 108 yards - his fifth straight 100-yard rushing effort - but had a hand in a pair of fumbles.
Chicago jumped in front near the midway point of the first quarter after a Peterson fumble led to a Bush TD plunge. Bush added a second short score late in the first half, and a Ponder interception in the final two minutes set up Cutler's 13-yard scoring strike Matt Spaeth for a 25-3 Chicago lead at the break.
Minnesota closed the cap on a 2-yard TD pass from Ponder to tight end Kyle Rudolph early in the third quarter. The Vikings turned the ball over on downs at the Chicago 8-yard line and had a costly fumble on a drive in the second half of the fourth quarter to quash a rally.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Peterson tied Robert Smith as the only Minnesota players with five consecutive 100-yard rushing games. Peterson, the NFL's leading rusher, has racked up 737 yards during the streak. ... Bears RB Matt Forte had 14 carries for 42 yards before leaving with an ankle injury in the third quarter. It's the same ankle that forced Forte to miss time earlier in the season. ... Vikings SS Harrison Smith was knocked out of the game early in the second half. He suffered a suspected concussion and did not return.

Shumlin: Feds to pony up for Berlin facilityToby Talbot / AP Photo
Gov. Peter Shumlin, fourth from left, joins other officials in a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday for a new mental health facility in Berlin.
BERLIN — After months of wrangling with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Gov. Peter Shumlin announced Tuesday that the federal government will pick up the lion's share of a $42.8 million plan to replace the 52-bed psychiatric hospital washed out during Tropical Storm Irene.
At the groundbreaking for a 25-bed mental health facility in Berlin, Shumlin said that FEMA will pick up nearly 75 percent of the cost for a replacement plan that includes facilities in Berlin, Rutland and Brattleboro.
Administration officials had at one point last year anticipated that FEMA would pay for as much as 90 percent of the construction costs. However, Shumlin said he was "thrilled" with the $30 million that federal officials have said Vermont can expect for the projects.
"That means that Vermont taxpayers will be paying for this entire rebuilt system between $12.5 million and $15 million," Shumlin said. "That is a great victory for Vermont taxpayers and worth celebrating."
The trials and tribulations of Vermont's negotiations with FEMA became fodder for gubernatorial politics last summer when news broke that a technical miscue had led to an overly optimistic estimate of what Vermont could expect in federal aid.
Republican challenger Randy Brock chided Shumlin for proceeding with a hospital replacement plan for which he had yet to identify a funding source.
"I have taken some heat over the past months for pushing ahead with this project without knowing exactly how the dollars would flow," Shumlin said Tuesday. "But I want to remind you that we had no other choice, that with the most vulnerable mental health patients not having a place to go, we didn't have the option of doing what government does so well: waiting, thinking, planning, deliberating, arguing and hoping for a better day."
At a cost of $28.5 million, the 25-bed facility now under construction in Berlin will become the centerpiece of a "community-based" mental health system that aims to move away from the more centralized program in place before the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury was evacuated during Irene.
The plan calls for 14 secure hospital beds at the Brattleboro Retreat and six beds at Rutland Regional Medical Center. Each of those projects will cost about $5.5 million.
While construction is under way in Berlin, Brattleboro and Rutland, the state will rely on temporary facilities in Morrisville and Middlesex to alleviate pressure on emergency rooms, which have been forced to accommodate mental health patients who previously would have been admitted to the hospital in Waterbury.
An eight-bed facility in Morrisville opened late last month; a seven-bed facility in Middlesex will be ready in a couple of months. The combined cost of those projects is $3.4 million, all of which will be paid for by FEMA.
The nearly $30 million FEMA figure cited by Shumlin will include any payouts from the state's insurance policy.
Sen. Robert Hartwell, a Bennington County Democrat and chairman of the Senate Committee on Institutions, said the FEMA funding levels announced Tuesday are "as good as it gets."
"If I had to pick something to help us with, this is the thing we need to be helped with," Hartwell said.
Flanked by lawmakers and members of his Cabinet, Shumlin plunged a ceremonial spade into a pile of camera-ready dirt on the Fisher Road parcel on which the new hospital is being constructed. The location, adjacent to Central Vermont Medical Center, has been lauded by mental health advocates who had insisted on proximity to a conventional hospital.
If Irene had a silver lining, mental health advocates have said, it was in expediting the long-running debate over how to replace the state's century-old psychiatric hospital in Waterbury. The antiquated facility was decertified by the federal government, costing Vermont about $10 million annually in lost Medicaid reimbursements.
Shumlin said he expects that revenue to begin rolling back into Vermont when the Berlin facility opens by April 2014.
"When we get those reimbursements back, we will pay for our entire new system with federal dollars in roughly a year and a half," Shumlin said.
Mark Landry, federal coordinating officer for FEMA, said that while he can't officially announce the numbers Shumlin used Tuesday, the documents he provided to the administration "reflect with a high level of confidence the funding that the state of Vermont will receive based on eligible (damage) and eligible funding."
Shumlin said he expects similarly refined estimates from FEMA on reimbursement levels for the Waterbury office complex in the next 45 days or so.

Markets struggle to hold onto gainsAP PHOTO
A woman walks by an electric stock index display of a securities firm in Tokyo, Friday evening.
LONDON Global stock markets struggled to hold onto gains made Friday, when strong Chinese economic figures and signs of a U.S. recovery buoyed investor sentiment, particularly in Asia.
Investors have in recent day been cheered by signals showing the two worlds largest economies started 2013 in rude health. Many stock indexes around the world, including the Dow, are trading near multiyear highs amid optimism over the world economy and hopes that Europes debt crisis is slowly coming under control.
On Thursday, figures showing a drop in weekly U.S. jobless claims to a five-year low and a rebound in housing starts reignited the rally.
That buoyant backdrop carried through into the Asian session Friday and was accentuated by figures showing Chinas economy grew 7.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012, up from the previous quarters 7.4 percent and just ahead of predictions for a 7.8 percent rise. Industrial production and retail sales figures also came in better than expected.
Investors reined in their enthusiasm by the end of trading in Europe, however, as some seemed to cash in on the recent gains ahead of the weekend.
In Europe, Germanys DAX fell 0.4 percent to 7,702.23 while the CAC-40 in France lost 0.1 percent to 3,741.58. Britains FTSE 100 held on to a 0.4 percent gain to close at 6,154.41.
The impact from positive earnings from Morgan Stanley and General Electric was offset by weaker results from Intel and a softer than anticipated consumer confidence survey from the University of Michigan.
Earlier in Asia, Japans Nikkei 225 soared 2.9 percent to close at 10.913.30, the highest finish in nearly three years, as the yen slipped against the dollar.
For a while, the dollar was trading above the 90-yen line for the first time since June 2010 as expectations intensified that the Bank of Japan will take steps to ease credit next week. A weaker yen is a significant boost for Japans powerhouse exporters.
By late afternoon London time, the dollar was up 0.1 percent at 89.99 yen.
Hong Kongs Hang Seng rose 1.1 percent to 23,601.78 and South Koreas Kospi added 0.7 percent to 1,987.85. In mainland China, the Shanghai Composite Index rose 1.4 percent to 2,317.07 while the smaller Shenzhen Composite Index gained 1.5 percent to 935.7
Oil prices were subdued following recent strong gains, with the benchmark New York rate down 25 cents at $95.24 a barrel. On Thursday, the contract gained $1.25 to finish at $95.49 a barrel, its highest close since last September.
Elsewhere, the euro, which has had a strong start to the year amid hopes that Europes debt crisis has calmed for the time being, was down 0.5 percent on the day at $1.3311.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

Vermont GOP expected to offer amendment to budgetBy Peter Hirschfeld
Staff Writer | March 28,2013MONTPELIER – Having failed in their bid to derail a tax bill that would raise more than $20 million in new revenue next year, House Republicans have now turned their focus toward changing the ways in which Democrats want to spend the money.
The GOP super-minority will offer an amendment to the budget Friday that would ax spending on new programs and redirect the money to buy down public-pension obligations and bolster rainy-day reserves.
The amendment will undoubtedly fail, and by a wide margin. But House Minority Leader Don Turner said his caucus is at least making its points.
"Vermont needs to get its fiscal house in order,"Turner said Thursday. "It's already very expensive to live in Vermont. And these (budget and tax) bills make it much, much worse."
Turner said that at the outset of the session, he presented House Speaker Shap Smith with the conditions that would be needed to earn his caucus' support for the fiscal year 2014 spending plan. They included: an overall spending increase of not more than 3 percent; limiting new employees to the 17 positions needed to staff the new state hospital; and the creation of a $20 million reserve to absorb looming cuts in federal aid.
"We knew full well we wouldn't achieve everything on this, but we hoped to see some movement on some," Turner said. "This budget being brought to the floor does not do that."

Friday night is the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony, and "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle is running the show.
People aren't the greatest at keeping secrets, but few hate to spoil a surprise. That observation plus a clever hashtag equals success for the Oscar-winning director.
While athletes wrap themselves around what it means to be an Olympian and crews wrap up last-minute details outside the Olympic Stadium, the secret of what will happen inside at the Opening Ceremony remained under wraps.
"Hopefully (singer) Adele will be there. We don't know. I'm looking forward to it. Maybe the queen will show up," said Team USA hurdler Aries Merritt.
It took Boyle four years to plan the show that 1 billion are expected to watch.
"We're the first games where social networking plays such a big role. To keep anything a surprise is difficult," Boyle said.
That's why he came up with #savethesurprise. It's effective and fun.
@flutelicious writes, "The climax where the queen and (President Barack) Obama sing 'Don't Go Breaking my Heart' on roller skates is unbelievable."
People actually started using the hashtag to call each other out on leaks.
@suzyj posted, "I was just unfriended on Gacebook by a gamesmaker as I asked her not to post pictures to Opening Ceremony spoilers."
"Save the surprise. It's positive and it will delight people," Boyle said.
Boyle said part of his show will celebrate instant communication. He said he'll do his best to keep the show on time and that the the biggest challenge is planning for the Parade of Nations, since he has no idea how many athletes will show up Friday night.

Senate committee greenlights death with dignity' bill
The Senate Committee on Health and Welfare gave unanimous approval Friday to legislation that would allow doctors to prescribe lethal doses of medication to terminally ill patients.
But while supporters of death with dignity say the bill has the votes needed to pass on the Senate floor, people like Mary Beerworth, executive director of Vermont Right to Life, will be working to ensure it doesnt.
Beerworth said a coalition of the unlikely that includes disability-rights groups, doctors, the Catholic Church and others will lobby lawmakers hard between now and the floor vote to undermine support for the bill.
The defeat of a similar end-of-life ballot item in Massachusetts last November, Beerworth said last week, is testament to the organizing power of the opposition and the resonance of their message.
Everybodys getting out their base, she said.
Dick Walters, president of Patient Choices at End of Life Vermont, one of the founders of the death with dignity movement in Vermont, said hes confident that support for the bill will hold up in the face of the coming attack. A recent poll commissioned by WCAX, Walters said, showed public approval for the bill above 70 percent.
This is a settled issue in Vermont, I think, Walters said. And I think that when legislators look to their constituents to find out what they think, they will find that the vast majority of people are in favor.
The bill heads next to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Sen. Dick Sears, an opponent of the bill, will use his committee to expose what he says are flaws in the legislation.
Though the bill wont get a favorable vote in judiciary, Sears has already agreed to allow it to go back to the Senate floor for a vote from the full body.
Apparently undaunted by the public recriminations issued by Sen. Bernard Sanders last Monday, proponents of a moratorium on mountaintop wind began taking testimony Tuesday on a bill that would halt new development for three years.
The bill suffered a tongue-lashing in Sanders Burlington office. It found a more hospitable host in the Senate Committee on Natural Resources Tuesday, where three of the committees five members including chairman Bob Hartwell have signed on as co-sponsors.
First up to testify on the record was Paul Burns, the same wind-energy advocate who had hours earlier suggested that supporting the moratorium was tantamount to rejecting the science behind climate change.
The senators said they didnt appreciate his tone.
Do you believe its possible to believe in the science of climate change and yet disagree with you on the construction of new wind farms on Vermonts mountaintops? Sen. Peter Galbraith asked the head of VPIRG.
Thats an interesting question, Burns replied, suggesting its difficult to know which is worse not believing in climate change and opposing wind because you think its unnecessary, or believing global warming is real and fighting against wind anyway.
Galbraith said its possible for one to appreciate fully the dangers of climate change, but to believe that the solutions to the global crisis dont lie on the top of Vermonts mountains.
Burns said that if climate-change believers want to shun the most renewable energy source available in Vermont, then its incumbent on them to identify an alternative.
So far I have not seen any convincing evidence that opponents of wind have come up with a plan to provide for the states energy needs with an alternative to wind, Burns said. Its conceivable somebody could come up with fusion technology, but I havent seen it yet, senator.
Galbraith told Burns to consider adopting a more civil tone as the debate progresses. A public conversation about wind is one worth having, Galbraith said. And people on his side ought not be demonized by people like Burns as global-warming deniers.
I guess there are at least three flat-earthers here in this committee, in your view, Galbraith said. I wouldnt characterize your position in an extreme way... And you owe it to be respectful to people on the other side and not characterize them in such an extreme way.
Supporters of the three-year ban, however, are beginning to seem less attached to the moratorium than they are to revising the regulatory process used to approve or deny wind projects. Included in the moratorium bill is a provision that would shift oversight of wind development from the Public Service Board to Act 250. Supporters of wind oppose that move, likely because the PSBs ability to take into account public good gives a huge check in the plus column to projects that generate megawatts of electricity for use by public utilities.
Leave the moratorium out of it for a second lets pretend the bill is an Act 250 bill, Hartwell said. What is wrong with putting (wind projects) in Act 250? Were not talking about killing off wind. Were talking about process.
Supporters of the wind moratorium might have suffered a public attack from Sanders, but the troops might be rallying elsewhere. The Lamoille County Democratic Party is drafting a resolution in support of the moratorium that could come up for a vote at the groups next monthly meeting.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

New concrete posts are arousing controversy in one Pennsylvania township for what they resemble.
Some residents say the traffic deflectors installed along two streets in Scott Township look too much like penises, with their elongated shafts and rounded tops, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
"People are laughing at it. They're calling it Penis Road," resident Pat Martin told township commissioners at a meeting last week.
Commissioner Bill Wells suggested flattening the tops of the posts, according to UPI.
"I think it would improve the appearance," he said.
Town Manager Denise Fitzgerald said the state Department of Transportation approved the posts -- including their design -- but promised to look into the cost of redesigning or even replacing them.
Commissioner Pat Caruso attributed some of the remarks to people with "weird minds."

A prostitution ring has been busted in a New Jersey senior citizen housing complex and a 75-year-old resident is accused of running it.
NBC 4 New York reports that James Parham, 75, was accused employing some elderly residents as sex workers. Parham, along with fellow resident Cheryl Chaney, 66, was also accused of allowing residents and visitors to use crack in their apartments. Both Parham and Chaney are charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a nuisance, and Chaney is also charged with possession of crack cocaine.
Sex and drug use were reportedly going on in common areas of the complex, causing some seniors to be afraid to venture into certain areas because they were afraid for their lives. A lack of security in the building is believed to have contributed to the problem.

Scheduled to perform Shakespeare at a special event will be Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett; County Executive Chris Abele; historian John Gurda; Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra musicians; Julia Taylor of the Greater Milwaukee Committee; Mark Sabljak, Milwaukee Business Journal publisher; Joel Brennan, CEO of Discovery World and others.
Also this evening, Sayed Kashua, the writer and creator of a popular Isreali TV show "Arab Labor" and a notable writer working in Hebrew will screen two episodes of his award-winning series at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee this evening. The show focuses on a Palestinian journalist who is an Israeli citizen, an Arab caught between two worlds. It has been described as daringly exploring taboo subjects such as religious, cultural and political difference. Kashua, who also writes a satirical column for the Israeli paper Ha'aretz, will be available for discussion after the screening. The event is at 7:30 at UWM's Recital Hall, behind Mitchell hall and adjacent to the music building at 2400 E. Kenwood Blvd. »Read Full Blog Post

Inspiration Boards
Inspired by a chic, garden style this board is feminine, elegant and a bit bohemian. With a color palette of muted jewel tones, there is an effortless elegance about this style.

This board is inspired by a fun, poolside chic vibe…think fruity cocktails by the pool, fun flirty bridesmaids dresses, pops of yellow, black and white. There is a hollywood type feel to this event, that is all about the chic.

This next board is inspired by seaside elegance. It's approaching a beach wedding with an understated, easy going style that isn't too literal, nor too designed. A little bit shabby chic, a little bit total luxury, this style is about using your surrounding as inspiration.

This wedding is pure elegance. It's luxury, refinement and total style all rolled into one fabulous look. Using mercury glass containers for sparkle and bits of zebra print as an unexpected touch, this style looks incredibly expensive.

This is a more casual, flirty approach to a beach wedding. With turquoise as our inspiration, we brought in muted yellows, whites and natural hues. A little bit organic, a little bit elegant, this look is all about seaside chic.

Hi All,
I have something I would like to discuss with the Sangha, and get everyone's consensus and (I hope) approval.
I have had an offer to move our daily "Sit-a-long" Netcast and Blog to the website of Shambhala Sun/Buddhadharma magazines ... probably as a blog on their "Shambhala SunSpace" pages ...
The folks at Beliefnet.com offered to renew our blog contract for another year, and they are very nice people ... but I think that Shambhala Sun/Buddhadharma might be a more appropriate soil for us. The reason is that Shambhala Sun/Buddhadharma is a non-profit organization, carrying (for the most part) serious articles and essays on Buddhist topics (especially on the Buddhadharma side). They are well respected in the wider Buddhist Sangha. Their mission statement is this ...
Beliefnet has been lovely ... but, well, if anyone has seen some of the advertisements and such that accompany our blog now, they might have some concerns.
Shambhala Sun Foundation
Who We Are
We are a nonprofit, independent media company dedicated to the publishing and propagating of genuine buddhadharma of all traditions.
The Shambhala Sun Foundation publishes the Shambhala Sun and Buddhadharma: The Practitioners Quarterly. The Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit, charitable organization in Canada, and a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in the United States.
Our Background
Started in 1992, the Shambhala Sun has grown to become the most widely-read Buddhist-inspired magazine in North America, bringing the wisdom of contemplative spiritual practice to all the important issues in life. In 2002, in response to the growing community of long-term committed Buddhist practitioners, we launched Buddhadharma: The Practitioners Quarterly, an in-depth, practice-oriented journal of Buddhist teachings.
We are proud that our growth from a community newspaper (with a circulation of 3,000) to two magazines (with a combined circulation of over 100,000) has been accomplished without significant outside financial support, accumulated debt, or operating losses. We gratefully acknowledge that our success could not have been possible without the generous and passionate help of all of youour readers and teachers, writers and artists, advertisers and friends. You have all been our partners in this journey and your contributions will continue to be critical as we embark on a new phase in our mission.
Read Editor-in-Chief Melvin McLeods September 2007 editorial announcing the Shambhala Sun Foundation.
Read Publisher James Gimian's March 2008 editorial discussing the myth of independence.
Our Mission
The Shambhala Sun Foundation promotes the growth and development of genuine buddhadharma as Buddhism takes root in the West. Through the publication of magazines and other media, conferences and educational forums, we will support all traditions of dharma that teach the three marks of existence and nontheism, and are based on meditation practice and cutting through spiritual materialism. In these endeavors, the Shambhala Sun Foundation will work with and support all those who share the values of wisdom, sacredness and compassion.
So, I think the move is good.
But this is something I wish to do in a "Japanese"way of "group harmony and consensus". So, what do you think (and non-think) about the move? It would probably be from January 1st, in time for our Jukai ceremony.
Gassho, Jundo
PS - Oh, and Taigu said already he likes the idea.
PPS - A small part of me would take some joy in telling Rupert Murdock, owner of Beliefnet and FoxNews, that we are moving on. Of course, I do not think he is a regular reader of our blog.

What was she thinking?
Michelle Obama's apparent eye roll at Speaker John Boehner during the inaugural luncheon has the Internet buzzing over a possible topic that prompted the First Lady's disapproving signal.
Lip-reading experts were even called in to understand Boehner's comment that triggered Michelle Obama's displeased expression.
Michelle Obama was seated at the head table in between her husband and Boehner, who were having a lighthearted exchange.
Wishing to solicit opinion, Boehner tapped Michelle Obama on the shoulder while she ate her lunch. Michelle Obama did not say any word, but gave the Speaker an eye roll.
Lip reader Larry Wenig guessed that Boehner probably asked President Obama about smoking, a habit that the President supposedly kicked years ago. Boehner's spokesperson, however, brushed off the lip reader's conclusion.
Her response swirls speculation on the rather contentious relationship between President Obama and Boehner, who have opposing stances over the controversial fiscal cliff and debt ceiling proposals.
Even so, President Obama hinted at the congressional luncheon that Boehner and his wife agreed on one thing – to keep his speech short.
"Michelle and the speaker of the House came to a meeting of the minds that I may be delaying the proceedings too much. And so, I'm just going to be extraordinarily brief and say thank you," he said.
Michelle Obama's epic eye roll has already racked up more than 2.7 million views on YouTube.

Blanket Lift Bar
If you have an old mattress that is only 9 inches thick - this will give you some space; but don't use it in the winter time with heavy blankets, it will not support them, only lighter items. Our mattress is 12 inches thick (or more) and this just does not do the job I needed it to do. Was very disappointed.

Millions will sit around big-screen televisions to watch the Super Bowl this year. And as Super Bowl party-goers watch the game and, of course, the commercials, they will eat this and munch on that.
While pizza, wings and chips are some of the most popular foods consumed at a Super Bowl party, there are ways to offer Super Bowl party revelers delicious snacks without having them pack on the pounds.
And don't go running to tell your guests that you have a healthful selection of foods either. Chances are if you don't tell your guests, they won't know that the tasty items you prepared not only taste good, but are good for them too.
But before you get the party started, read on to find out five things you can do to have a healthier Super Bowl party ...
No. 5: Make your own pizzas
Ordering a pizza is by far the most popular thing to do when a few people show up to watch the game.
If you prepare the pizza instead of ordering it from your favorite pizza parlor, it will surely help party-goers stay on track if losing weight was a New Year's resolution.
There are several low-fat recipes available. But if you don't want to use a full-fledge low-calorie recipe, swap out a few of the ingredients.
For example, instead of using pepperoni, use turkey pepperoni. Instead of using sausage, think about grilled chicken. To give it some added flavor and nutritional content, consider adding green peppers.
And of course use low-fat cheese and ta-dah, you have a tasty pizza. But low-fat cheese can be used on more than just pizza to help party-goers avoid packing on the pounds ...
No. 4: Slim down those sandwiches
Sandwiches have long been a mainstay of most Top 10 Super Bowl party food lists. But if you are serving "sammies" this year, think about using low-fat cheese or even Swiss cheese.
Of course grabbing turkey is a much better choice than ham. Provide wheat bread rather than white. And don't forget the low-fat mayo.
But before you place the bottle of low-fat mayo on the table, dump it in a small dish. It will help with presentation. And it will keep you from spilling the beans about the healthier condiment. Mustard is also a good alternative and has about 35 calories per serving.
Pickles are not just for decoration. Pickles can help suppress cravings and possibly keep some of the revelers from overeating.
The same can be said for fruit, which may not sound like a Super Bowl party hit, but will likely go over big with your hungry guests ...
No. 3: Fruit can be fun
Fruit does not have to be viewed as unpopular because it is part of the food pyramid. It can be dipped in a tasty dip or low-fat chocolate.
And if you are thinking, there's no way the fellas will go for that, don't forget about the ladies who are most certain to be in attendance. And be creative so it can be a hit.
You've likely seen a pizza or snack spread shaped like a football field or football; so why not do the same with fruit? You can definitely have fun creating something that either looks like your favorite team's logo or a football. If you really aren't that creative, spread the fruit on a large sheet pan and decoratively place in the projected score of the game.
Get grapes, pineapples, apples, kiwi, oranges and any other fruit that will awaken your creative juices.

A Florida man is accused of having 1 million videos and pictures of child pornography.
John Shearen, 51, was arrested in Leesburg on Thursday.
IMAGES: 32 Most-Wanted Men Wanted For Crimes Against Children
Officers charged him with 14 counts of possession of child pornography and 15 counts of distributing the images.
"He has been the No. 1 downloader and person who distributes in the state of Fla.," Florida Department of Law Enforcement special agent supervisor Jeff Duncan told Orlando television station WESH 2 News.
Shearen, who is a former military member, has no previous criminal record.
He's being held without bond and is expected to go before a judge on Friday.

More to landfill storyDecember 08,2012
More to landfill story
This letter is in response to Mr. Greniers Dec. 4 letter in which he suggests that the secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources, Deb Markowitz, check her agenda and move on with the permit process for Moretown Landfill Inc. The ANR has issued multiple notices of alleged violation to MLI with regard to the solid waste management rules of Vermont. The secretary is following the rules as they apply to both current and future permits.
Vermont passed Act 148, related to establishing universal recycling of solid waste. This passed unanimously and provides the message that we need to change our waste stream and keep valuable resources: recyclables, compostable food scraps and yard debris out of landfills. Expanding landfills contradicts the direction of the state.
This is not a no odors standard. The owner and operator shall take all steps necessary to prevent and/or control spills, nuisance dust, vectors, windblown debris and odors. In addition to solid waste management documentation, since August 2011, 230 off-site odor complaints have been investigated. Alleged violations are not limited to odors either. The Nov. 20, 2012, notice of alleged violation cites erosion exposing trash; stormwater trash contact without proper collection; lack of random load inspections; excess leachate on the liner; failure to report leachate levels to the state; lack of leachate flow monitoring; inadequate control of landfill gas emissions and gas well temps.
Mr. Grenier prefers to characterize MLI, which is owned by Advanced Disposal Services, the largest privately owned solid waste company in the United States, as servants of the community. He does this by citing their response to Irene and their contributions to charity. Is the suggestion that this somehow validates turning a blind eye to the violations of rules put in place to protect our environment, health and quality of life? Also, Mr. Grenier, lets not mistake the disposal of our trash at a privately held, out-of-state company located in Vermont and many other states, as contributing to buy local.
Mr. Greniers suggestion is that the state agency tasked with environmental protection should ignore the governing rules, as well as the potential impacts to the nearby Winooski River and beyond in order to prevent negative financial impacts and preserve the convenience for those whose distance from the landfill allows them to, at least for now, shut out the possible health impacts, certain environmental impacts and overall destruction of the aesthetic quality of Vermont. This is both absurd and offensive.
Mr. Grenier cites the sudden realization of the Moretown Select Board regarding the potential end to approximately $532,000 paid by the landfill for the nuisance of their existence. Since July 1999 the Moretown Select Board has received copies of violation notices and the possible impact those violations could have upon continued operations. Consider the direct correlation drawn between the money and the nuisance. For neighbors of MLI the nuisance affects the quality of daily lives and the value of property and offers potential effects on the long-term health of families. I ask your readers to consider what they consider to be adequate compensation for these things in their lives.
