The answering machine blinked ominously. "Hey, little feller, we need to chat. Heh. Heh. Heh."
Just my luck. It was my friend Barney and he was clearly well in into cocktail hour. Barney has this screwy notion New Jersey is the world center of intellectual eminence and cultural superiority. He thinks New Mexico is still a stagecoach stop.
You never know what's on Barney's mind. I was quickly going to find out.
"Horse slaughter!" he barked into my ear, with nary a hello. "How ya doin?'"
"Not a horse slaughter plant in the country, but we can always count on New Mexico to climb aboard if it involves blood and guts. Wild, wild west and all that stuff."
The best strategy with Barney in his cups is to let him run his string. Ice cubes clinked in his glass and I could tell he was shuffling papers. "Just listen to this!" he commanded. "Eighty percent of people around the United States overwhelmingly oppose horse slaughter for human consumption, yet you folks want to put a horse slaughter plant in that town where the spacey people hang out."
"Whoa, slow down," I advised when he paused for a breath. "You're talking about Roswell, Barney, and spacey people don't hang out there. Space people visited there," I corrected. "Obviously advanced creatures, they would be buggy-eyed to learn earthlings chose their landing site for a horse slaughter plant."
"And, Barney, it might be helpful for you to check your facts before assuming all New Mexicans are backward. For your information seven of 10 registered voters in New Mexico disapprove of allowing American horses to be slaughtered for human consumption."
I didn't dare let up for fear he had his second wind. "Before you pour your next refill, Barney, understand most of us believe horse slaughtering for any reason is ugly and unacceptable. Of all the possible answers to the problem of aging and sick horses, slaughter is at the very bottom."
"You talk big," Barney answered, "but the report I saw said the USDA is just days away from giving the plant a go-ahead."
The plant owner and his attorney are claiming that, I explained. The USDA has declined comment. We hope it doesn't happen.
"There is a key issue blowing in the wind. Our country is not going to permit contaminated consumer-endangering meat to be shipped anywhere. And it's going to take a lot of our taxpayer dollars to set up proper controls," I said.
The administration budget for 2014 excludes money for horse slaughter plant inspectors and four of five New Mexico delegates are on board to fight such plants. They are Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich, along with Representatives Michelle Lujan Grisham and Ben Lujan. Rep. Steve Pearce is mum so far.
"You are big on spending cutbacks, Barney. Aren't you outraged the same government putting air traffic control people out of work would turn around and spend boo koo bucks on figuring out how to set standards for horse meat not one person in our country will ever eat?"
I have not known Barney to be a sensitive guy and was therefore surprised to realize my persuasive arguments had moved him to tears. That, or the vodka. "Barney, are you OK?"
"Yes (sniffle). I have been watching a movie."
"A movie? What movie!"
"They Shoot Horses, Don't They?"

Man denies leaving scene of a crashOctober 01,2013Man denies leaving
scene of a crash
A Rutland man denied charges of leaving the scene of a crash after police said they found his cellphone in the crashed vehicle.
Shayne T. Barrett, 23, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to misdemeanor charges of careless or negligent operation of a vehicle and leaving the scene of a crash.
The charges are both misdemeanors and carry a combined maximum penalty of three years in prison.
On the evening of Aug. 17, according to affidavits filed with the court, Rutland City Police responded to Allen Street for a report of a vehicle striking a utility pole. When police responded, they found a crashed pickup and a damaged utility pole, but no driver, records state.
A search of the vehicle revealed empty beer cans, an opened bottle of Jim Beam bourbon whiskey and a cellphone belonging to Barrett, affidavits state.
Police later interviewed Barrett, who denied drinking prior to the crash and told police he had crashed while trying to answer his phone, and fled the scene because his vehicle was emitting smoke, according to court records.

February 23, 1995: Astronomers using the Hubble telescope have identified the presence of an extremely tenuous atmosphere of molecular oxygen around Jupiter's moon, Europa. This makes Europa the first satellite ever found to have an oxygen atmosphere and only the third such solar system object beyond Earth to possess this gaseous element.
If all the oxygen on Europa were compressed to the surface pressure of Earth's atmosphere, it would fill only about a dozen Astrodome-sized stadiums.See the rest:

Professor Booker Mattison and Dr. Lorene Wales emcee the 2013 Student Film Showcase.
Student filmmakers at Regent University devote endless hours and effort to making short films that are not only professional, but meaningful. Each year, the best of the best are shown in a hit parade of redemptive films, giving directors, producers, writers, actors and crew members the ultimate payoff for their workseeing it on the big screen.
Held Wednesday, April 24, in the Main Theatre, the 27th annual Student Film Showcase impressed a full house of students, staff and faculty with its diversity, top-tier professionalism, and redemptive themes.
"All the films had strong Christian messages, mostly implicit in the storylines rather than explicit," said Professor Andrew Quicke, chair of the cinema-television department in the School of Communication & the Arts (SCA). "Technically, they were all films of high standard, often filming in the dark which is always very difficult. The animation films served as light humor between more serious films and paid tribute to the large College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) animation program."
The animation program held its own showcase of works the following evening.
Calling the showcase "the most obvious local proof that Hollywood is not the only place to make movies," The Virginian-Pilot previewed the lineup in their Monday, April 22, article about the event.
While each film expressed redemptive themes, that expression differed wildly. Two documentaries, featuring the poverty of a neighborhood in the Dominican Republic and the plight of orphans in Senegal, West Africa, brought a global perspective to the lineup.
Two period war filmsone based in WWII Germany and the other in the Civil War-torn Southdealt with personal sacrifice of one individual's life to save another.
The night also featured a foreign language drama, a popular kids cartoon homage, a live action/animation hybrid, and an in-depth documentary look at love and relationships. Regent's first endowed animation film, The Best Gift, also made a showing. More than 112 students, faculty and other personnel worked on the project over the two academic school years it took to bring it to fruition.
"I was delighted to see the quality of this year's films that illustrate the work of our students and their faculty mentors this academic year," said Dr. Mitch Land, SCA dean. "If a picture is worth a thousand words, then motion pictures must be worth a million because no medium quite captures the imagination and the human spirit like film. Stories told through comedy, drama and animation allow us to inspire, enrich and ultimately transform the culture and thus change the world."
The following films were selected for the showcase from both SCA and CAS submissions by a panel of faculty members: La Calle Buena (Produced by Liz Ebert; directed and written by Rachel Hooley); Shoot (Produced, directed and written by Justin Garcia); Cultivare (Produced by Jillian Sifuentes, directed by Hope Ammen); Story of Red (Produced, directed and written by Dominick A. Garcia); The Best Gift (Produced by Mari Park; directed by Ashley Zahorian; written by Topher Cavanaugh); Boxcard (Produced, directed and written by Justin Garcia); The Long Way Out (Produced by Adam Bova; directed and written by Ryan Pace); Coming Achoo! (Produced, directed and written by Justin Garcia); All Things New (Produced by Joseph Reese; directed by Andrew Ray); Kip's Tips (Produced, directed and written by Justin Garcia); Surrender (Produced, directed and written by Aaron Steiner); Beneath the Cloth (Produced by Nathan Stump; directed and written by John Martin); Screams of My Silent World (Produced, directed and written by Jonatas da Silva).
To date, Regent University films have garnered more than 300 awards at local, regional, national and international festivals.

TO: Editors
and Appropriate Education Reporters
FROM: Karen
Craven, Director
of Public Information
State Board of Education
DATE: December
10, 2003
SUBJECT: School Report Card Embargo
The Illinois State Board of Education's Department
of Public Information is asking all members of the
media who are currently working with school report
card data to continue to honor the December 19th
The purpose of the embargo is to allow all 892
school districts in Illinois to disseminate their
own data in a timely manner, as well as provide
the schools ample time to honor state law requiring
them to report it to the public.
Many of you have rightfully begun to publish reports
on the school report cards because districts in
your coverage area have already released their data,
and have subsequently reported on questions that
administrators have with their own school report
All of you familiar with the No Child Left Behind
Act know that its impact on school assessment this
year is monumental. It is an understatement to say
that this is a transition year. It is the first
year that participation rates for subgroups has
been calculated, and consequently has created new
areas of accountability.
In the two weeks since the state began distributing
the data, ISBE staff has identified more than 300
schools which met all federal and state Adequate
Yearly Progress criteria, with the exception of
the test participation rates for student subgroups.
The result is that these schools are classified
as "not making AYP." For example, a student
who may have been classified as being low-income
in the enrollment data was not identified as such
on the test forms themselves. Therefore, the enrollment
numbers don't match the participation numbers for
that subgroup. This mismatch is primarily a result
of not properly cross-matching the data and/or not
making changes during the 45 day correction period.
The consequence is a school not making AYP. We believe
this can be rectified.
Again, because this is the first year that Adequate
Yearly Progress has been calculated for subgroups,
all correspondence from ISBE to administrators beginning
in April through August included words stressing
the fact that accuracy matters. It should be made
clear that the current data included in the schools'
report cards was generated from the schools themselves.
Our message consistently to the schools is that
accuracy does matter and that there are consequences
to failing to make AYP. Therefore, ISBE will offer
a verification period, allowing these identified
schools the opportunity to corroborate their test
participation data or negate it. The schools that
ISBE has identified will be contacted and the verification
process is currently being structured. As a result
of the verification, the AYP calculation for these
identified schools may very well change. You should
consider this potential change as you work on your
current stories.
At this time, the Department of Public Information
is asking all members of the media who plan to publish
or air reports on the data upon release of the December
19 embargo that they include words to the following
effect in their news stories:
"The Illinois State Board of Education
has identified more than 300 schools whose test
participation data adversely affected their Adequate
Yearly Progress calculation and therefore the school's
AYP status. ISBE is working with these schools to
verify the data."
The Department of Public Information appreciates
your assistance in this matter, and assures you
that the list of schools that we have already identified
as well as the process that will be used to verify
their data will be forthcoming.
ISBE has received more than 200 phone calls, and
additional correspondence from school administrators
whose primary concern has been about their AYP status.
Further, ISBE has already discussed with the Illinois
Association of School Administrators and several
other organizations how to prevent this in the future
and will keep you abreast of progress on that front.

Rookies Lead Florida Past Ohio State
from press release
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Gator freshmen Nora Barry
(Marcellus, N.Y.) and Shannon Gilroy (Huntingdon, N.Y.) combined
for seven points this afternoon to help lead Florida past Ohio
State, 10-8, in the 2012 American Lacrosse Conference opener.
Florida has now won its past six conference games, going undefeated
in ALC play since the start of 2011. The win lifts UF to 10-2 (1-0
ALC), while OSU drops to 7-2 (0-1 ALC).
Barry led the Gators with four goals on the day, and Gilroy tallied two goals and an assist. Kitty Cullen (Rockville, Md.) collected Florida's remaining two assists, and Ashley Bruns (Ellicott City, Md.), Brittany Dashiell (Bel Air, Md.), Caroline Chesterman (South Nyack, N.Y.) and Gabi Wiegand (Bay Shore, N.Y.) each scored a goal apiece.
On the defensive end, Mikey Meagher (Liverpool, N.Y.) earned her seventh win of the season, recording seven saves in the complete game while tallying a career-high and team-season-high six ground balls. Jamie Reeg (Atlantis, Fla.) snagged four ground balls and caused two turnovers, and Dashiell added three more ground balls.
In the midfield, Gilroy led the Gators with five draw controls, and Cullen tied her career high with three.
Kirsten Donahue was tops on the Buckeyes with four goals in the game, and Jackie Cifarelli recorded two goals and two assists. Freshman Tori DeScenza made nine saves in the complete game and added a team-high five ground balls.
Jackie Cifarelli opened the scoring for the Buckeyes at 26:30, scoring a wraparound goal from the left side. Caroline Chesterman responded for the Gators, working a spin move from behind the net at 21:16 to tie the score at one.
Less than a minute later, Ashley Bruns gave the Gators their first lead, netting a bouncer from the left side.
On the Gators' next possession, Bruns looked for her second goal of the afternoon, but her shot was saved by DeScenza. The ball ricocheted off DeScenza's stick outside the 8-meter arc where Nora Barry was ready for the rebound. Barry fired across to Shannon Gilroy up top, who drove through a triple team and laced in her first-ever ALC goal to put UF up, 3-1.
The Buckeyes kept the pressure on, and just under two minutes later, Kirsten Donahue put one in the top corner of the net, glancing off the crossbar and just barely crossing the plane to cut the Gators' lead in half. Katie Chase then tied the game on a free-position goal at 14:18, knotting the score at three.
A foul on Kelsey Heine just outside the arc gave Cullen an open opportunity out front. Cullen flipped to Barry on the restart whistle, who took one step and laced in her first career conference goal to regain the Gators' lead, 4-3, at 10:37, which would become the final goal of the half.
After a 15-minute scoring drought, Barry found the back of the net for a second time, netting a free-position goal at 25:01 in the second half. Alayna Markwordt found Kirsten Donahue just over two minutes later to cut UF's lead back to one, but Barry responded with back-to-back goals to put Florida out in front, 7-4.
Ashley Bruns went to the bench at 15:56 with a yellow card, and Donahue took advantage within nine seconds, scoring a man-up goal.
Shannon Gilroy then shot in her second of the day to regain the Gators' three-goal lead, 8-5.
Jackie Cifarelli found Donahue again at 9:35, but a free-position goal by Gabi Wiegand put the Gators back up three, and a Cullen-to-Dashiell score at 6:54 gave Florida its largest lead of the game, ahead 10-6.
The Buckeyes were not ready to call it a day yet, as Donahue and Cifarelli each mustered a tally over the next two minutes, but the Gators maintained possession through the majority of the final four minutes to earn their sixth-straight ALC victory by a final score of 10-8.
The Gators return home on Wednesday night to host Fresno State in their final non-conference matchup of the season. Opening draw is set for 6:30 p.m.

The mother and stepfather of a 10-year-old Utah boy are accused of trying to make him steal items from a Home Depot.
The pair claimed they wanted to sell the items for cash to buy school supplies, police in Cottonwood Heights told Salt Lake City TV station KUTV.
"A 10-year-old selected a cart full of merchandise, and then the 10-year-old would roll the cart out of the store while the parents split up," police Sgt. Gary Young said. "If he got stopped, the 10-year-old just told the store, 'Hey, my parents are paying for this.'"
The boy's mother was near a register, pretending she was about to pay at around 4 p.m. Wednesday, police said, as the boy loaded the cart with boxes of roofing nails and a flashlight.
But the family's actions soon caught the suspicion of loss prevention staff, who questioned the boy and then his mother.
She claimed her husband was paying for the items, Young said. But Home Depot employees then realized the stepfather wasn't in the building, and called police.
Police aren't sure if the family's reason for stealing was legitimate or concocted.
"I feel bad for this family in that circumstance, but I also feel worse that the kid was used in a theft," Young told KUTV.
Police arrested the parents, but did not book them into jail to avoid further traumatizing their children.

*sigh*sob* :( After seeing a pediatrician last week my son was 'labelled' failure to thrive. he is not quite 12 lbs and will be five months old this week. He weighed 8lbs 8 oz. at birth but got down to 8 lbs 4 oz. We have struggled with bf from the beginning - at first the thought was low milk supply but each time I take something either allopathic(domperidone) or herbal I end up with plugged ducts / mastitis. He feeds up to 16 times a day...rarely is he satisfied for longer than an hour. He sleeps very poorly, want to be held all the time so I wear him in a sling. We co-sleep so i can get some rest and to give him a lot of opportunitiees to gain.:confused:
We have had blood work and urine tests done and tomroorw go for a sweat test and kidney ultrasound. :(
The doc thinks it is possible a protein allergy and put him on losec (dairy free) to help with reflux but the meds seem to really upset his tummy so I have stopped giving them. I have cut out all dairy, soy, eggs, and red meat from my diet.
I am really worried...waht could be wrong here???Why is he not gaining? He has grown taller and his head circ. is increasing but still falling percentile wise.
We are currently supplement with nutramigen but he only takes aobut 4-10 ounces a day through the sns to preserve bf if possible. Our bf goals were to extended bf but right now I'd be happy to make it to six months.
What woule a protein allergy look like....would he outgrow it??? I have spoken with a IBCLC and she suggests to go through with all the testing to rule out a serious problem.
Could the problem still be me...is it possible to just have an inadequate amount of nutrients in my breastmilk? I so wanted bf'ing to work this time. I have a 2 1/2 year old dd that I had to supplement for 5 months due to a severe tongue tie.
Any advice is appreciated.


text: January 25, 2006: Using an armada of telescopes, an international team of astronomers has found the smallest planet ever detected around a normal star outside our solar system. The extrasolar planet is five times as massive as Earth and orbits a red dwarf, a relatively cool star, every 10 years. This artist's illustration shows an icy/rocky planet orbiting a dim star. The distance between the planet, designated OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, and its host is about three times greater than that between the Earth and the Sun. The planet's large orbit and its dim parent star make its likely surface temperature a frigid minus 364 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 220 degrees Celsius).See the rest:

With just 12mm of material separating you from the tarmac, the New Balance WR00 is flat, flexible and light.
Was the Minimus Road 10 just too much shoe for you? If so, New Balance has your number with the new MR00. This shoe comes in about 2 oz lighter than the Minimus Road 10 and drops the heel-to-toe ratio so that it's dead level.
The Minimus Road 00 wraps your heel and midfoot thanks to a form-fitting last shape but gives you space in the forefoot for your toes to splay out during the gait cycle. Most testers liked the fit and feel of the upper, though one female tester commented that she wasn't a fan of the different mesh material used in the WT00 version of the shoe, which she felt wasn't as breathable.
Get ready to get seriously in touch with the ground in this shoe. Your feet will be on their own - there's no noticeable cushioning to speak of. But testers noted that the ride is surprisingly smooth given how little material is strapped on beneath your foot. Flexibility is a hallmark of this shoe - the mid/outsole never gets in your way. The zero drop design actually felt to a few testers like a negative drop design, with the heel sitting below the forefoot. But that's perception, not reality, and runners used to a zero drop shoe will easily feel at home in the Minimus Road 00.
The fit is right on, and the foldover tongue design makes me wonder why more shoes in all running categories don't move to this simpler design.
I thought I 'got' the idea of the Minimus collection, but this shoe and the Minimus Trail 00 take the Minimus line in a different direction that's even more stripped down.
Love the fit. It just wraps around foot very well. For me, this shoe doesn't feel like it has any padding. It's fine on grass but just too minimal on the road. If you want to really feel the road, almost literally, this is your shoe.

By Tibor Machan: Freedom New Mexico columnist
One of my colleagues at Chapman University told me how much he favors the following sentiment expressed by former President Franklin D. Roosevelt:
"I am not for a return to that definition of liberty under which for many years a free people were gradually regimented into the service of the privileged few."
What kind of liberty was FDR talking about? Presumably the kind of liberty that would prohibit anyone from interfering with the actions of others unless those others endeavored to coerce their fellows, unless they violated their basic rights to life, liberty and property. Such a system does make it possible for some to rise above others, provided they do not use force or fraud in the process.
A system wherein such rights are diligently protected is often attacked on the grounds that some people might be employed by other people who then could give them directions, who could "regiment" them.
Remember that whenever you hire someone who willingly accepts your terms of employment and whose terms you accept, you can give them directions or "regiment" them.
Yes, among them there will be some who accept your terms reluctantly, believing that the terms could be different, more favorable to them. And some of them will be unable to act on their reluctance because they lack resources just yet needed for them to gain different, more favorable employment.
When I was a new refugee in the United States, I pretty much did not like my first job. I was a movie usher in Philadelphia, watching the same movie 50 times or so before a new one took its place while telling people to quiet down and helping them find a seat in the crowded theater. Then I was a short-order cook, then a bus boy, and then a draftsman before I finally reached the kind of work I found fulfilling — teaching philosophy.
Many folks I know and millions I don't have gone through a roughly similar process in order to get to do the work they wanted.
By FDR's edict, all these folks, including myself, would need to abandon their liberty to work for others — "the privileged few" — who may themselves have risen through the ranks akin to the way I and millions of others did.
The bottom line is that FDR's sentiments are utopian and fascistic on top of that. He would probably want to be the one who would rearrange the economy so the privileged few would get demoted and some others would take their place. Or if he aimed to eliminate all privileges and inequalities of economic status, he would have to employ a humongous police force to make sure no one rises above anyone else.
This would be a police state. That is just what it appears FDR favored, seeing that he admired, of all people, Mussolini.
So thanks, but no thanks to FDR for his revised — actually perverted — idea of human liberty.

Truths of historyJune 29,2013
A historic term of the U.S. Supreme Court has just ended with major decisions showing how the law may change with the changing times.
Two cases involved gay marriage. In one the court overturned a federal law because it discriminates against gay marriages; in the other the court affirmed a ruling by a federal judge in California, opening the door for the resumption of gay marriage. It is the culmination of a social transformation that grew slowly over decades and then took hold in a significant way in the past 10 years.
The jurisprudence of Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the decision overturning an important component of the Defense of Marriage Act, affirms the idea of judicial activism and the idea that the Constitution is a living document. It is a view contrary to the doctrine of originalism to which Justice Antonin Scalia adheres. Scalia believes the court should interpret the Constitution as the Founding Fathers understood its original meaning.
Kennedy foreshadowed the view he took in the DOMA case when he wrote the courts opinion in the 2003 Lawrence case, throwing out laws criminalizing homosexual behavior. Had those who drew and ratified the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth Amendment or the Fourteenth Amendment known the components of liberty in its manifold possibilities, they might have been more specific. They did not presume to have this insight.
In other words, those who wrote the Constitution and its amendments used language that was general, rather than specific, allowing for interpretation to change as times change.
They knew times can blind us to certain truths and later generations can see that laws once thought necessary and proper in fact serve only to oppress, Kennedy continued.
Previously, the court was blind to the truths of racial oppression and ruled that racial segregation was permissible.
Kennedy wrote: As the Constitution endures, persons in every generation can invoke its principles in their own search for greater freedom.
The previous generation invoked the principles of the Constitution to secure the right to participate as equals in American society, unfettered by racism. We were no longer blind to the truths of our history, and finally the court found that the principles of equality in the Constitution applied to all races.
This generation has invoked the principles of the Constitution in seeking marriage equality. The framework of the Constitution constructed by the Founders was capacious enough that Kennedy and the majority on the court found that our principles of equality applied also to marriage.
The other landmark case of the week suggests that the present court has learned the wrong lesson from our racial history. In a case involving Shelby County, Ala., the majority struck down a central element of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The court has the duty to subject the law to new tests based on our new understanding of the truths of history. But Chief Justice John Roberts has a dangerously selective understanding of those truths.
The Voting Rights Act required specific states and localities with histories of racial discrimination to obtain approval from the Justice Department before enacting changes in their voting laws. This was to prevent states from creating unconstitutional hurdles for voters. The states of the South at the time the law was adopted had made it a practice to bar blacks from voting. Preventing the states from re-instituting their oppressive practices was necessary was responding to a clear truth of history.
Now Roberts believes that racial oppression is over and that those states previously forced to win federal approval to change their laws need not shoulder that burden. The truths Roberts refused to see involved the continuing attempts by numerous states, some in the South, to limit voting rights. Roberts ruling transformed the law in order to protect the rights of states to change their own voting laws, rather than protecting the rights of voters who history has shown us are in danger of losing their rights.
Now the fight to protect the rights of voters will have to be waged in courtrooms in order to rebuff ongoing attempts to deprive the vote to African-Americans and others. It is a perverse reading of our living Constitution.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Biomass, greenhouse project promises 300 jobsBy Lucia Suarez
Staff Writer | February 26,2013FAIR HAVEN – An agreement between the developer of a proposed biomass and pellet manufacturing facility and a local hydroponic vegetable producer promises to bring more than 300 jobs to Rutland County.
Beaver Wood Energy and Vermont Hydroponics announced today they will be adding a 10-acre greenhouse complex and wholesale Grower's Hub warehouse adjacent to the proposed Fair Haven Biomass Energy Center.
Tom Emero, a principal with Beaver Wood, said the agreement has been in discussion on and off for more than a year before coming into fruition several weeks ago.
"We've got a whole other component (now)," he said. "The power plant has tremendous efficiency. With the greenhouses we gain additional efficiency."
Emero said the greenhouses and the warehouse will use recycled water and heat from the biomass plant. This will allow them to have year-round growing.
The food grown in the greenhouses along with food from local farmers will be sold and distributed throughout New England from the Grower's Hub.
"It is a way to utilize the made in Vermont moniker," Emero said. "It will be a distribution point."
According to Emero, the 300 permanent jobs created by the project include 25 jobs at the biomass plant, 25 jobs at the pellet manufacturing facility, 100 jobs at the greenhouses and another 150 jobs in the forest industry.
He said they are working on obtaining the permits before refiling with the Vermont Public Service Board in the Section 248 process for the biomass facility. The entire project is expected to cost more than $260 million.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermont hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for 2017 will be available Dec.

One of the 77 defined community areas in Chicago, the Near North Side is one of only four areas that make up downtown Chicago. With Lake Michigan to the east, and the Chicago River bordering it to the south and west, the Near North Side is one of the most desirable areas in all of Chicago.
The first known permanent settlement in the area occurred in the 1780s, when Jean Baptiste Point du Sable built "Eschecagou," near what is today the Michigan Avenue Bridge. Six distinct neighborhoods make up the Near North Side, including the Gold Coast, Old Town, Goose Island, River North, Streeterville and the Magnificent Mile. Compared to the other downtown community areas, the Near North Side has the second largest total area, and the largest population count.
The Chicago Public School district serves all residents on the Near North Side, and a number of alternate schooling options are available. Walter Payton College Prep is a selective, magnet high school, and the Latin School of Chicago is a private school serving grades K-12. The Near North Side is home to a number of higher education institutions, including: Northwestern University Schools of Law and Medicine, Loyola University Chicago School of Law, Kendall College and the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago.

The Near North Side is home to numerous famous buildings, museums and attractions, including: Chicago Water Tower, Holy Name Cathedral, Trump Tower, Chicago Children's Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago Shakespeare and for shopping, the Magnificent Mile. However, the key attraction is undoubtedly Navy Pier, the 3,300 foot pier located in Streeterville. Featuring a number of popular rides and attractions, including the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel, hundreds of thousands of visitors descend upon the pier yearly, taking in all that Chicago has to offer.

I'm going to the game. My prediction: Knicks: 96 Nets: 87
35-40 - 43-31
EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) -- The New Jersey Nets can possibly clinch the Atlantic Division title on Friday when they host the New York Knicks at Continental Airlines Arena.
The Nets (43-31) have a 6 1/2-game lead over Miami (37-38 ) and can secure the division title and the second seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs with a victory and a Heat loss at Detroit on Friday.
New Jersey edged Washington on the road on Wednesday, 103-99 in overtime, for just its second victory in eight games.
Richard Jefferson collected 28 points and a season-high 14 rebounds for the Nets, who rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit. All-Star forward Kenyon Martin, who had missed six games with right knee tendinitis, played 12 minutes but sat out the second half with soreness in the knee.
The Knicks (35-40) are in seventh place, one game ahead of eighth-place Boston (34-41).
New York, which is opening a three-game road trip and plays five of its final seven games on the road, has alternated losses and wins over its last six games.
On Monday, the Knicks edged Portland, 92-91, as Tim Thomas scored 26 points and Stephon Marbury added 23, eight assists and seven rebounds and forced Damon Stoudamire into an airball on the final play of the game.
The Nets had won 11 of 12 in the series, including the first two encounters this season, before the Knicks posted a 79-65 home triumph on March 19. The Nets were without Kidd and Martin in that contest.

take a camera with you, take some pics, post them hereOriginally Posted by AJD
you'll also be at the game? i thought you were just joking. anyway, if you have the possibility, take a few pics, i'd love to see some!
prediction: NJ 85 - NY 93
This should be an easy win for the knicks they just have to contain RJ and Lucious Harris has been very surprising lately so Marbury has to do a good job on him tonight.
they need to start dermarr and let shandon come off the bench.. while he may have such great perimeter defense, he takes way too many shots and misses almost all of them. he's a slasher, not a shooter but he doesnt realize that. hes trying to fill allens shoes, thats something no one can do. i guess this guy's too dumb to realize that
They're not playing that well right now but hopefully they'll pull out a win.
i happy penny can return and add 14pts,but why Nets without kidd & k-mart can won knicks...i hope Dike canreturn to help knicks def!
I didn't get to watch this one and I'm glad. From what I read, the defense was pathetic in this game. What is the deal with these guys? They can't beat the gimpy Nets, thats one thing, but to get dominated like this. I don't know what else to say, but I'm highly disapointed with this loss.
One outta three ain't bad.
the shot just wasnt threre
If the Knicks cannot beat the Nets without Kidd and KMart, I don't know what they gon' do in the playoffs.

Police actions are clearly dangerous to citizens
On Saturday, April 13, on the one-month anniversary of the shooting death of Mr. Wayne Jones by five Martinsburg City Police officers, I stood at the intersection on Queen and King Street in Martinsburg to express my outrage and horror over this incredibly ugly "critical incident," as it was described in Sunday's Martinsburg Journal.
It is truly sad that Sunday's response from local law enforcement has come so late after the shooting of Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones was gunned down in front of my residence, in the 100 block of Queen Street. This is where I live. I have the right and the courage to express my outrage. I do not feel that I am alone in how I view this tragic incident.
What happened March 13, 2013, was wrong, and this type of continued police conduct remains a clear and present danger to those of us residing in their jurisdiction. This was no isolated incident.
To remain silent, for me, is unacceptable. I have the right to live in a community where I feel safe; I should not fear my local law enforcement. This is not Iraq or Syria. I do not want to live in a war zone.
I am and remain concerned for my personal safety as well as the safety of other members of the downtown Martinsburg community who reside, work, visit or own a business in city limits. It is my belief that what happened here is part of an official police policy regarding the use of deadly force. This is the fourth police shooting in less than three years. The third involving the mentally ill, three of the four shot by police were killed, only two incidents involved subjects who also had firearms. This police pattern must be stopped or it will continue and escalate.
The city must recognize the damage it has done to its own image by tolerating the continued misuse of deadly force. No one will want to live here or feel safe visiting Martinsburg.
I have spent the majority of my life in this area. I love West Virginia; my family has called this place home since 1964. I have never witnessed anything so egregious. This type of local police violence is new! I do not believe it to be pretentious to point out this escalation of the use of deadly force. This "critical incident" could have involved just about everyone I know. including myself. In my 47 years, I know of nothing comparable to this amount of carnage by local law enforcement. This must end.
I am left with many questions as to what happened March 13, 2013. Today's Journal and the response of local law enforcement does not help to answer any of them.
First, I have a hard time believing Mr. Jones remained in possession of his alleged knife after being tazed twice and scuffling with police officers half his age. He was 50 years old; I am very close to that age. I could not defend myself against five people half my age. Hell, I could not spring a city block.
Secondly, how could five trained police officers believe it was safe to fire their weapons down a main street? If Mr. Jones was a threat with his knife, how does discharging five different firearms near a busy intersection become safer? Shooting was more prudent than containing a man with a knife to one isolated area?
I have spoken with eyewitnesses who claim Mr. Jones was running away from the police who were firing at him as he ran down Queen towards King Street. In today's Journal the police spokesman described a knife- wielding maniac advancing on police. From all published reports, this was not the case.
How many police rounds were fired downtown?

I just took DD for her 6 mo check up. Everything is great I started her on rice cereal and various fruits/veggies about 3 weeks ago. She doesn't really seem too interested in them. The only thing I can get her to eat is a like 2-3 baby spoon fulls of rice cereal and maybe a spoon full of sweet potato/applesauce. (We've tried others, but these two are the only ones she likes.) I usually try to feed her around 11-12, lunchtime. Anyhoo...today Doc said to start her on meats and fruit cereal at around 7 mos. Aren't meats a 2nd food?
Will she be ready for 2nd foods at that stage?
Should I be feeding solids more than once a day?
When should I be feeding solids?

RALEIGH, N.C. — Getting booted from "American Idol" this week is going to launch the music career he's dreamed about his entire life, Chris Daughtry said Thursday.
He didn't have to wait long — hours later he was offered a job with the band Fuel.
"I'm a songwriter myself," the 26-year-old told reporters Thursday, one day after viewers shocked just about everyone and voted him off the TV talent show. "To be able to launch my own career would be a dream" come true.
Daughtry, who dreamed of becoming a rock star while working in the service department at a Greensboro car dealership, said he is considering whether to pursue fronting an established rock band or launching a solo career.
Video: Idol upset Then Fuel made its offer. Bass player Jeff Abercrombie and guitarist Carl Bell made their pitch on the TV show "Extra."
"Chris, if you are watching, we've talked about this before, and if you want to entertain it again we'll take it and go," Abercrombie said.
The buzz around Daughtry for weeks has been that he could end up the band's lead singer. He performed the band's song "Hemorrhage" on a recent "Idol" show.
His wife, Deanna Daughtry, said she's not sure which option he should pursue, but either way music is all he's ever wanted to do.
"He's got a lot on him and hopefully he'll have a lot of wisdom there," she said. "The public forgets so fast about those idols once they get off the show. I just hope they don't forget about Chris."
Many observers thought the shaved-head rocker from McLeansville would win this year's competition.
On Tuesday's show, Daughtry performed two Elvis Presley songs. His rendition of "Suspicious Minds" drew strong reviews from judges. Paula Abdul said, "See you in the finals."

Judge Simon Cowell said his second song — "A Little Less Conversation" — was "flat" and not as good as the first performance.
Daughtry, who said he doesn't regret anything he did on the show, said he was shocked to get voted off because so many people had picked him to win — which may have led overconfident fans to not bother casting votes.
"They didn't have to vote as hard, and I think that was the downfall, in my opinion," he said, refusing to critique the other three finalists. "It was definitely a gut-wrenching moment and I was not expecting it, even a little bit."
Some fans around his hometown fear their votes were mistakenly credited to one of the other contestants because they'd get another hopeful's voice thanking them for the call instead of Daughtry's, family friend Tracey Adams said.
One music industry expert said it definitely shouldn't be the end for Daughtry, who has a great opportunity to cash in as a solo artist because of the equity he's built on the show.
"I think he should definitely pursue that at this point," said Jeff Walker, president of AristoMedia, a Nashville-based company that develops and promotes music artists. "He's got a lot of people that like him."

You might think you know marshmallows. Those big, puffy white pillows that come in a Jet-Puffed bag or those tiny, crunchy blue stars and red hearts in a box of Lucky Charms. Think again.
Shauna Sever (of the blog Piece of Cake) brings you a myriad of delicious and delightful marshmallow recipes in her new cookbook "Marshmallow Madness". The recipes range from classic Vanilla Marshmallows to boozy Margarita Marshmallows to fruity Key Lime Pie Marshmallows (rolled in crushed graham cracker crumbs)!
I set out to try one of the recipes and settled on Root Beer Float Marshmallows.
These marshmallows are made with actual bottled root beer. Root beer is mixed with the gelatin and it's also added into the sugar/corn syrup mixture, which gets whipped along with the gelatin to within an inch of its life.
Shauna's recipes are clear, concise and easy to follow. I was skeptical that the liquidy mess I was pouring into the bowl of my KitchenAid mixer would turn into marshmallow, but sure enough, it tripled in volume and became a gooey, sticky, delicious confection. Wary of getting a spatula coated in marshmallow, I simply coated my hands with cooking spray and scooped the marshmallow goo into a greased 8×8 glass pan by hand.
The hardest part of the whole marshmallow-making procedure is waiting six hours for the marshmallow to cure and set up. But set up it does! These marshmallows aren't anything like those Jet-Puffed ones; they're light and airy but with a little bit of jiggle. The people who tasted these marshmallows compared their appearance to tofu or flan, but I think that had more to do with the slightly tan color that came from the root beer.
I only had two issues with my marshmallows. The first was that the root beer flavor was just a little too subtle. Shauna writes that root beer extract is optional if you're using a high-quality root beer. I went with Virgil's, which is an amazingly flavorful root beer, but the intensity of the flavor just didn't carry over. When I make these again (and I will make them again), I will definitely add the root beer extract for the added oomph of flavor.
The second problem was that my marshmallows seemed to absorb the powdered sugar and cornstarch coating that they were dusted with. The coating helps to keep the marshmallows from sticking together, but my coating just got absorbed. I'm not sure if I should have dusted them and then laid them all out single file on a baking sheet instead of throwing the in a Tupperware bowl (which is what I did). I will play around with this coating in my next few marshmallow attempts until I get it right.
There are so many wonderful recipes in this book that I can't wait to try. I'm especially looking at the aforementioned Key Lime Pie marshmallows and the vegan ones for my sister-in-law.
And, just in time for Easter, Shauna has linked a couple of videos on her blog that will teach you how to make your very own Marshmallow Peeps! I'm already committed to bringing an Angel Food Cake to my family's Easter dinner, but those Peeps were second on my list!

From another Father Brown story (The Actor and the Alibi):
The group also contained Ralph Randall, who generally acted elderly character parts, and had a humorous hatchet face, blue with shaving, and discoloured with grease paint. It contained Mandeville's second walking gentleman, carrying on the not yet wholly vanished tradition of Charles's Friend, a dark, curly-haired youth of somewhat Semitic profile bearing the name of Aubrey Vernon.
It is to be feared that the tradition of Charles's Friend has now wholly vanished, so much so that I have no idea what this tradition might be._________________________

I have seen it as a NY Times crossword definition, and only end up getting it right by getting in most of the cross-words. Hence I don't really know what it means, either.

"Charles's Friend" (or the "second boy") referred to a character depicted as the best friend of the hero of a romantic comedy or melodrama. Generally more worldly and cynical than the idealistic hero, he generally represented the comical or common-sense viewpoint of the hero's high-flown sentiments. Often he would attempt to dissuade the hero from his romance, though he would generally end by supporting him. Occasionally though not always, he formed a second romantic couple with the "second girl" or the "soubrette," generally a friend of the heroine. A typical example is Captain Hawtree from Thomas Robertson's "Caste" (1867).

That's a fascinating piece of theatre history, Tannhaeuser, and many thanks for it. I was aware of the device but had never heard that name.

A great comic play, indeed, HalAl. But I guess that it doesn't refer to "Cahrles' Friend", as the Charley in the comedy is a principle character, nit "Charles' Best Friend."_________________________

Original article by http://janssenlima.blogspot.it/ in Portuguese
Today I'll talk about a very important type of monitoring that is rarely discussed (perhaps because not so many people are privileged to work with hardware that supports this technology: IPMI).
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a standard used to manage a computer system and monitor its operation. Its development was led by Intel and is today supported by more than 200 hardware manufacturers.
Its operation is independent of an operating system, which allows administrators to remotely manage the hardware resources even before any OS starts. For example, we can monitor through IPMI system temperatures, voltages, fans (FAN), power supplies, chassis intrusion, etc..
For the ones that wants to go deeper in IPMI specifics, I suggest reading the website of Intel . I think the most interested in this are the Data Center Managers and System Administrators of sites that must be highly available. An IPMI interface collects information using sensors that are responsible for providing this information in real-time.

Illinois Joins 48 States and Territories to Develop Common Learning Standards in Math and English
Standards will be internationally benchmarked to better prepare students for college and careers
SPRINGFIELD—The Illinois State Board of Education announced today that Illinois is joining 48 other states and U.S. territories to develop common learning standards in English and math for elementary and secondary students. Called the "Common Core State Standards Initiative," this process will be jointly led by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) to create a common core of learning standards based on the best evidence, research and academic performance of countries around the world.
"We are excited to use national as well as international benchmarks as we develop better learning standards for students across the country," said Christopher A. Koch, State Superintendent of Education. "This historic development will provide the foundation for dramatically improving teaching and learning. We'll be better positioned to prepare our students for the rigor and challenges of college and careers and to bring consistency to standards, curriculum, assessments and college entry requirements."
In addition to Illinois, the other states and territories committed to this state-led process are: Alabama, Arizona; Arkansas; California; Colorado; Connecticut; Delaware; District of Columbia; Florida; Georgia; Hawaii; Idaho; Indiana; Iowa; Kansas; Kentucky; Louisiana; Maine; Maryland; Massachusetts; Michigan; Minnesota; Mississippi; Montana; Nebraska; Nevada; New Hampshire; New Jersey; New Mexico; New York; North Carolina; North Dakota; Ohio; Oklahoma; Oregon; Pennsylvania; Puerto Rico; Rhode Island; South Dakota; Tennessee; Utah; Vermont; Virgin Islands; Virginia; Washington; West Virginia; Wisconsin; Wyoming.
In the twenty-six years since the release of A Nation at Risk, states have made great strides in increasing the academic rigor of education standards. Yet, America's children still remain behind other nations in terms of academic achievement and preparedness to succeed.
"We live in a global business place," said Jesse H. Ruiz, Chairman of the Illinois State Board of Education. "We can no longer simply compare our students to those in other states, but must prepare our students to compete with, and work with, their counterparts across the globe."
The Common Core State Standards Initiative will build directly on recent efforts of leading organizations and states that have focused on developing college-and career-ready standards and ensure that these standards can be internationally benchmarked to top-performing countries around the world. The goal is to have a common core of state standards that states can voluntarily adopt. States may choose to include additional standards as long as the common core represents at least 85 percent of the state's standards in English and mathematics. The second phase of this initiative is to ultimately develop common tests aligned to the core standards developed through the process. Illinois spent more than $50 million on standardized testing during FY 2009.
The NGA Center and CCSSO will coordinate the process to develop these standards and will create an expert validation committee to provide an independent review of the common core state standards, as well as the grade-by-grade standards. This committee will be composed of nationally and internationally recognized and trusted education experts who are neutral to – and independent of – the process. The college and career ready standards are expected to be completed in July 2009. The grade-by-grade standards work is expected to be completed in December 2009.
