Generations share hope in '4000 Miles'By Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | March 06,2013When Leo arrives at his grandmother's Greenwich Village apartment at 3 a.m., toting a fully laden bicycle, she's not quite sure what to do with him. That night turns into days — then weeks — in Amy Herzog's intimate play, "4000 Miles." They argue, laugh and find comfort in each other's company, discovering that they may have more in common than they realized.
Leo also has a secret that he hasn't been able to tell anyone, not even his parents.
"What's fantastic is watching the two of them really get something out of one another and really grow together," said
Michael Dove, who is directing Vermont Stage Company's production, running March 13-31 at Burlington's FlynnSpace.
"In stories like this we find that we have much more in common with each other than we thought," he said.
"4000 Miles" premiered at New York's Lincoln Center in 2011 to rave reviews.
New York Times critic Charles Isherwood wrote, "Plays as truthful and touching and fine as Amy Herzog's '4000 Miles' come along once or maybe twice a season, if we're lucky."
"This is only the second or third production of this play ever produced (anywhere), and we got the rights to do it right here in Burlington," said Cristina Alicea, Vermont Stage's artistic director.
After a summerlong cross-country bike trip, Leo shows up exhausted and looking for a place to stay. Vera, the widow of a once-celebrated radical, lives a lonely life, as most of her friends have died, and suffers the physical afflictions of her 91 years.
But it is Leo who is fragile, at least emotionally. Not only is he reeling from the tragedy that occurred on his trip, but his girlfriend, Bec, announces that she thinks they should part ways. In short, he is lost.
"It was one of those plays I could hear and see almost instantly," said Dove, who is artistic director of Forum
Theatre in Washington, D.C. "It's not just a play about her grandson or his grandmother, but, in fact, a lot of that slips away and they actually become very close friends."
It's Herzog's authentic characters that give the play its power.
"They all feel so fleshed out that reading this play I can connect to all four," Dove said. "I can see things in all four of them that I find relatable as opposed to just one character that you're following."
And that's just what Dove is focusing on with Vermont Stage's cast — New York City-based actors Waltrudis Buck and Katie Peters, and local actors Willy McKay and Andrea Underhill (making her Vermont Stage debut).
"It's really in-depth character work and working on relationships," Dove said. "It seems essentially easy on the surface of this play, but when you dig into these scenes, it's incredible how Herzog weaves one moment into another."

It's the picture that's burning up the Internet.
A California Highway Patrol officer with a big heart rescued a Chihuahua stranded on a busy interstate Friday afternoon.
The tiny dog was shivering with fright when troopers found it perched on a roadway median on Interstate 680 in Contra Costa, Los Angeles TV station KNBC reported.
"This little dog needed some help off I-680 freeway today. We're glad he's safe," the department tweeted.
Authorities used a protein bar to lure and then safely pick up the abandoned animal.
It was later taken in by Contra Costa Animal Services.
A department spokesperson told San Francisco TV station KTVU that they weren't sure how the Chihuahua got there, but noted it's not unusual for people to abandon their pets on the highway.
Contra Costa Animal Services posted an update on Facebook Saturday, saying the Chihuahua "may already have a home if her owner doesn't come for her."

Nutritional Genomics: The Impact of Dietary Regulation of Gene Function on Human Disease by Wayne R. Bidlack, Raymond L. Rodriguez, 2011.Written as a resource for researchers, nutrition educators, and policy makers, this book contains the latest scientific findings on the mechanisms of action underlying diet-genome interactions. It presents a unique perspective on the fundamentals of nutritional genomics from genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Contributing authors introduce the important areas of cell signaling and transduction, the intricate regulation of gene expression, and alteration of gene-linked chronic diseases, such as obesity-induced inflammation, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The authors detail significant areas of interest within nutritional genomics—including plant-based foods as epigenetic modifiers of gene function and the effects of bioactive phytochemicals on inherited genotype and expressed phenotypes. They also discuss the role of vitamin D in various cancer risks and the gastrointestinal tract as a defense system. Hardcover, 448 pages. B589. $139.95 ON SALE

Benton Harbor is home to a thriving art and culture scene – including events like Artoberfest, an Oktoberfest-style celebration of art, culture, music, and food that's coming up on September 21. Read about Artoberfest and more in the guest post below from Joshua Nowicki.
Shortly after moving to Southwestern Michigan two years ago, I fell in love with the Benton Harbor Arts District.
My first introduction to the Arts District was during one of the Art Hops organized by the New Territory Arts Association (NTAA). I was amazed at the number of people downtown and by the variety of local businesses, restaurants, and galleries that invited artists to show their work. The Art Hops, which are free and family-friendly events, are open to everyone; many of the participating organizations provide light refreshments for guests. The upcoming Art Hop dates are October 18th and December 20th, 2013.
One of my favorite places in the Arts District is Water Street GlassWorks, a non-profit, studio, gallery and school which is dedicated to the glass and metal arts. Visitors are invited to overlook the school's 'hot shop' and watch students' and artists' glassblowing and casting. The perfect complement to the warmth of the GlassWorks is ice-cold gelato from Water Street GellatoWorks. The GellatoWorks which serves Palazzolo's gelato and Uncommon Grounds coffee, is an arm of the GlassWorks and provides funding for the organizations' FiredUp! program and job skills training for the participating students.
While in the Arts District, you will probably notice a number of orange metal sculptures located on various rooftops and walkways. These sculptures were created by Michigan based artist, John Suave, and are part of the 'I Am The Greatest Project,' a program of Anna Russo Sieber Gallery. The gallery features exhibits of both local and national arts, along with art, language and cultural classes, and outreach programs.
The artist studios at 210 Water Street offer a great opportunity to meet local artists working in their studios. 3 Pillars Gallery, an intermittent urban gallery, offers various creative events. The Arts District is also the location of Richard Hunt Studio Center which is one of the galleries/studios of internationally acclaimed sculptor, Richard Hunt. Moreover, it is home to The Citadel Dance & Music Center along with The Oak Room at the Citadel; both are performing arts organizations. Further, the Arts District has recently expanded with the addition of the Wall Street Studios just across Main Street.
There are a variety of unique dining options in the Arts District including The Phoenix, Larks Bar-B-Que, Charlie's Piggin' N' Grinnin', The Library Pub & Eatery, and The Ideal Place. Also nearby are Cafe Mosaic and Bread + Bar by Bit of Swiss. If you love Michigan beer, The Livery offers a tasty selection of 'hand-forged microbrews'. The Livery is also the place to go for concerts and entertainment including Open Stage sponsored by the NTAA which features regional musicians, poets, and storytellers on the first Monday of every month.
Earlier this year, the NTAA hosted a Loft Hop which gave participants an exclusive look at the unique living spaces in downtown Benton Harbor. The level of comfort and luxury that the historic downtown buildings provide to their residents is amazing. In fact, downtown living is so poplar that there is a wait list for available spaces.
If you are in Southwest Michigan on September 21, you will not want to miss Artoberfest, an Oktoberfest-style celebration of art, culture, music, and food. This year, it features two headliner bands: The True Falsettos and Deacon Blues. Artoberfest will feature Michigan microbrews from Arcadia, Bells, Greenbush, The Livery, Shorts, and Tapistry.
Be sure to visit the Arts District as part of your next trip to Southwestern Michigan.

Wisconsin's inaugural wolf season is set to close Sunday afternoon, as hunters and trappers are on the verge of reaching the statewide quota.
Five of the six wolf-harvest zones are already closed. The last one shuts down Sunday at 5 p.m.
The state Department of Natural Resources said hunters and trappers in Zone 3 are within one of the quota. DNR spokesman Kurt Thiede said the agency will close the zone to avoid over harvest.
The wolf harvest quota for Zone 3 was 18 wolves. The 17th wolf was harvested Friday.
The overall goal was to harvest 116 wolves during this year's hunt, which began Oct. 15. It was set to close Feb. 28 or when harvest goals were reached.

Last spring fishing report?
I've been watching with dread as water levels have fallen and Byron's "fishing speedometer" has gone from "excellent" towards "slow". I fish the NC side of the park, and the water levels have generally held up better there than the Little River daily fishing report would indicate. There has been a lot of storm activity over the past month on the NC side of Clingman's dome, and often I'd see the fishing report showing dismal water levels at Little River, only to find high stained water when I'd walk in and check my favorite NC stream.
I had high hopes last Thursday night when I watched thunder-showers hit Bryson City. I canceled work plans and resolved to make one last hike in to some waters above 3000 feet, at least 4 miles in on foot, for a final fishing send-off to spring. I set off before 8 am and hit my jumping in spot just after 10:30. Water levels were good when I saw the creek. The trail leaves the river at the place I decided to put in and doesn't show back up for about 2 miles. Once in the stream-bed, you are fully committed. I made one mistake as I set off upstream and left my lunch sitting on the boulder where I geared up. I wouldn't see it again for 6 hours. Small price to pay for a chance at prime fishing.
I tied on what has been my staple for spring fishing - small yellow stimulator trailed by an unweighted green weenie. In the first few pools, the green weenie immediately went to work.
There was no shortage of water for a nice float of the fly.
After the first few fish, the action slowed, and I made what turned out to be the day's best decision by tying on an #18 bead head prince under the dry. Next cast, hook-up! Followed by numerous others.
This guy looked mad at being pulled from the stream...
The beadhead kept producing....
At one point, I felt I was being watched......
About one pm, I stopped for a swig of water for lunch. After this fine meal, it was dry fly time. The stimulator got attacked time and again by fish ranging from 5 inches with occasional beauties in the 10-11" range. This dark rainbow took the dry in a deep pool that may never see the sun. The tippet to the dropper scratched his side as I lifted him from the water for a pic and the release. Sorry about messing up his coloration....
This was his fat cousin.
And an uncle on the mother's side....
Finally, I caught a small brown, but never saw hide or tail of a spec.
This deep pool gave up four small rainbows.
The action got better and better as it approached 4 pm, despite few real bugs coming off. When I saw the trail come back streamside, I reeled up and headed back for that turkey sandwich! Luckily I'd left it in the shade. Then, with a 2 hour hike out, I made a few final casts and headed for the barn. That night, I had a double helping of lasagna and said goodbye to spring conditions. Hopefully we'll get a few good afternoon showers soon.
Those rainbows look very nice for the park. I am envious! Good report and thanks for sharing!
Slipstream, haven't had the opportunity to meet you - absolutely excellent post. Thank You!!!
Question: I am new the the fly so please entertain. With the #18 BHP what would the size of yellow stimulator would be needed to keep from sinking as well. Your advice would greatly be appreciated.
I'll try and give a thoughtful answer. The easy reply would be to go a size or two smaller with the dropper. Size 16 or 18 nymph for a 14 dry.
However, I'll make the argument, at least for the tumbling pocket water that I mostly fish, that the size difference is not critical. I often fish larger and heavier droppers below a dry if I need to use them, with good success.
First, I almost always fish a dropper under my dry. Why? First, of course, it doubles (or triples) your chance of catching a fish, You're checking out all portions of the water column. Second, my reflexes on setting the hook on the dry are fading as I age. The dropper serves as my back-up. How many times have I watched a fish smash my dry, set the hook, and then I notice that I'm playing the fish attached to the dropper. When I bring him to hand, the dropper is in the fish's mouth, or hooked on the outside of the scissors or lip. How did this happen? When the fish struck the fly, I missed the hook-set, but the dropper tippet running through the fish's mouth then brought the nymph into the mouth and the hook stuck. Is it fair? I don't know, but it's fish on. Of course, the hook also catches them in the nose, fin or tail. That's why it's important to fish barbless.
Now back to the question of dry size and dropper size. Let's start with dry. Early season, it may not matter much because you're catching everything on the nymph. Go large with the dry, because it's just a bobber. Later, the dry starts working and size becomes important. People always say "match the hatch" but here in the Smoky's there may not be bugs hatching when you get to the stream. What size do you start with? It's always a trade-off, big works better for the angler. You can see it better in funny light conditions and it floats better. Smaller generally catches more fish. The most common dry fly I see hatching in late spring is the yellow sally, and most of these are size 18. You know your fly is too large when you start getting the "tail slap" from fish. You think he's rising to the fly, but he's really only mocking and taunting you. The lower and clearer the water, and the later in the season, the smaller I'll go. 16 or 18 is a good starting point.
For small flies to work in tumbling water, they need to be bushy and float well. Pick patterns like caddis, stimulators, and bushy parachutes with lots of hackle. Foam flies and parachute posts tied with synthetics also help. I pore through the bins at the fly shop and look for the beefiest samples of a pattern. Leave the wispy flies to the tailwater guys.
So if I get to the stream and start with a 16 dry, what size dropper? I don't worry too much. It can be a big bead-head worm or a small zebra midge. Why doesn't it matter? First, because the casts and drifts are short. When the fly hits the water, it may only need need to travel five feet or so for a few seconds in order to get through the sweet spot of the run. The dropper just doesn't have time to drown the dry. Second, the dropper is not exerting pure downward force on the dry. Cast a green weenie a watch it travel with your dry. The water current pulls your dropper along horizontally, often ahead of the dry. Your pair of flies will travel in tandem through the run before the dropper has time to drown your dry. Keep in mind this is for fishing pocket water and not still pools or big rivers.
When I take new folks fishing, I always rig them with a dry-dopper, and live with a few more tangles in hopes of catching more fish. The number one cause of the dry drowning or going under has nothing to do with the dropper. It's excess line and leader left on the water, that gets trapped by current and pulls the dry under. Once I show them how to hold line off the water and leave just the fly and a bit of tippet on the surface, or make a mend to keep line from dragging, the dry floats well and the strikes start coming.
A final thought is to keep the dry fly in good condition. I preen and take care of my dry fly more than my teenage daughter messes with her hair. And that's a bunch. If it's not floating in a bubbly riffle, my dry is in the dessicant or I'm checking that the hackles are sticking the right way. I want it to float well the first time I hit each hole, because that's the best time to get a strike.
Of course this is all subjective opinion. There are better fishermen than me on this forum that may do the opposite of these suggestions and catch more fish. That's what I love about fly fishing. We can keep learning and changing our techniques to fit the day's conditions. Sorry for the long-winded answer.
Great post Slipstream and very nice fish. Thanks for the advice for us novices!

- Impact of climate change on runoff in the upper part of the Euphrates basin
- Author(s)
- Yilmaz, A. G.; Imteaz, M. A.
- Abstract
- Among the processes most affected by global warming are the hydrological cycle and water resources. Regions where the majority of runoff consists of snowmelt are very sensitive to climate change. It is significant to express the relationship between climate change and snow hydrology and it is imperative to perform climate change impact studies on snow hydrology at global and regional scales. Climate change impacts on the mountainous Upper Euphrates Basin were investigated in this paper. First, historical data trend analysis of significant hydro-meteorological data is presented. Available future climate data are then explained, and, finally, future climate data are used in hydrological models, which are calibrated and validated using historical hydro-meteorological data, and future streamflow is projected for the period 2070–2100. The hydrological model outcomes indicate substantial runoff decreases in summer and spring season runoff, which will have significant consequences on water sectors in the Euphrates Basin.

Sheboygan police identify man killed in stabbing
Sheboygan police have released more information about a weekend stabbing that left a 41-year-old man dead.
Police identified the victim Monday as Nicholas J. Lehrke. Officers who responded to a disturbance Saturday afternoon say Lehrke was stabbed in the back. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Police arrested a 21-year-old Oshkosh man on suspicion of second-degree reckless homicide. He was taken into custody at the scene without incident.
Investigators say Lehrke lived in the same building as a friend of the suspect. They say Lehrke and the friend were fighting outside the building when the suspect stepped in and stabbed Lehrke.
Officers say alcohol may have played a role in the overall altercation.

A Madison woman was sentenced Wednesday for her role in a mortgage fraud scheme, according to a release.
Becky Lynn Ring, formerly known as Becky Lynn Stoltenberg, 38, of Madison, was sentenced to 12 months probation and ordered to pay $336,100 in restitution for her role in a mortgage fraud scheme, according to the Office of U.S. Attorney John W. Vaudreuil, who is the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin.
Ring was the former owner of JC Mortgage in Madison, according to the release.
Officials say Ring devised a scheme to obtain a residential loan for a client by submitting false documentation to the lender.
Ring was assisted by Edwin P. Gray, an accountant working in Oregon, Wis., who falsified the client's income on a W-2 form, which allowed the client to qualify for a loan that they otherwise would not have obtained, according to the release.
Gray pleaded guilty to mortgage fraud on Aug. 12, 2012, and was sentenced to three years probation on Oct. 11, 2012, according to the release.
Ring's sentence was reduced from a possible imprisonment range of 27 to 33 months based in part on her cooperation in an ongoing investigation, and noted the serious nature of her crime, and the need to deter others from engaging in similar criminal conduct, according to the release.
Officials say Ring paid the remaining restitution owed of $335,400 prior to sentencing and Gray had paid $700 towards restitution since his sentencing.

Freedom New Mexico
Moms are the greatest producers of wealth among us. They are greater and more important than glamour stars, politicians, business leaders and all the people our culture worships with a misguided understanding of value and wealth.
A Jewish proverb says: "God could not be everywhere, and so he made mothers."
Abolitionist preacher Henry Ward Beecher said: "The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother."
A Spanish proverb tells us: "An ounce of mother is worth a ton of priest."
And, of course, as the great American poet William Ross Wallace famously explained: "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world."
Children and fathers, on this Mother's Day treat your wives and mothers better than rock stars and business partners. If you can afford to lavish them with flowers and an expensive lunch at a fancy restaurant, do it and spare no expense. If you can't, show them your love with handmade cards, acts of giving and kindness, an abundance of hugs, and endless compliments. Try to show them at least one day of appreciation for the most underrated vocation in the world.
Then take it beyond Mother's Day. Let them know daily how much you respect them. In your hearts and minds, maintain a constant knowledge that a mother really is worth a ton of priests. Hers is the hand that rules the world. She has achieved the highest role a human can achieve. Without a mother, there is no priest. Without a mother, there is no president, no managing partner at your law firm, no lead singer for the band, no iPod inventor, no scientist curing cancer, no plumber, no professional athlete, and no nun tending to the poor.
Mothers, through God and with the aid of men, produce the only form of genuine wealth on Earth: the human being. Often in modern society, the mother is left to hone the individual by herself, with little or no help from a man or a village. Mothers ultimately determine whether humankind survives, let alone thrives.
For whatever reason, except on this one day of the year, mothers live mostly as unsung heroes with roles considered of marginal value to society. Even on this day, some of the praise and appreciation may seem like hokum to women who know their roles as mothers are underrated.
Society swoons over its top executives, its inventors and investors, its pop celebrities, its athletes, its doctors, its lawyers, its authors, its politicians and even some of its big-name journalists — all people brought to life and crafted by mothers and all people in roles considerably less important than mothering.
Without moms, society has nothing. Think about it today, and be genuinely thankful for moms each day the rest of your life.

Run like a king (do kings do much running?) in the Kayano 18, Asics' luxury ride for the runner who needs a good deal of pronation support.
Our description of this shoe lists "tons" of Gel cushioning. That may be a slight exaggeration. Still, the cush is the main event in this shoe. Wanna get in touch with the road? Point your eyeballs elsewhere. But for those of you who want or need a more pillowy landing, Kayano will be pleased to make your acquaintance.
Oodles of Gel cushioning alone isn't going to make a good shoe, and Asics has spent a lot of research dollars on delivering a complete package for the runner who wants to ride in luxury. Check this shoe's Technologies page for a complete list of all the tech features. In short, we can say that the engineering is impressive – all of the features work together well to create a shoe that feels purpose-built.
The upper of the shoe is a particular crowd-pleaser, with a snug heel and a fit in the mid and forefoot that gives you room to be comfy without extra space for your foot to roam where it shouldn't. The shoe has a very smooth transition, with a ride that finds an excellent balance between firm and floaty.
This upper is so plush. It's comfortable, but the shoe gets a little hot given the amount of material surrounding my foot. Still, the shoe deserves its popularity given how comfortably the miles go by.
Really appreciate the fit of the heel and the roominess of the toebox. I couldn't quite feel comfortable with the transition, but that's probably because I'm not used to running in maximum feature shoes with a built-up heel.
The pronation support in this shoe is certainly noticeable compared to a neutral shoe. But still, you can tell Asics spent a lot of time working to make the transition on this shoe as seamless as possible given how substantial the post is.

"As a custom builder of furniture and case goods, I've designed and fabricated hundreds of storage systems," says Wold. "I've noticed that most open bookcases look great empty and then look cluttered and lose their form once you fill them up. " The Block Party series is made up of custom-quality casework, fixed shelves, overlapping doors, and sliding panels. The panels allow the owner to change the negative space in the composition and reframe or abstract the stored objects. "Adding your belongings to Block Party enhances the design instead of diminishing it," says Wold. "And it's dynamic you can keep changing the composition instead of getting stuck with one stagnant form.

Make Finance Work
The multiple financial, economic, climate, food and biodiversity crises the world is facing are largely due to the current economic and financial system and the role of large financial institutions like banks and pension funds.
Makefinancework is a group of non-government organisations working together for a different financial system. We are campaigning to decrease the influence of financial institutions. More specifically, we campaign to curb food speculation, for the introduction of a financial transaction tax (FTT), to stop the financialisation of nature, and to ensure that the EU stops financing companies involved in landgrabbing.

|Abstract: This proposed rule is being issued in response to the Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) Animal Health Act of 2004. The proposed rule implements section 572 of the MUMS Act which provides for a public index listing of legally-marketed unapproved new animal drugs for minor species of animals (species other than cattle, horses, swine, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and cats). The drugs in this index will only be indicated for use in non-food minor species or for use in early non-food life stages to food-producing minor species. This proposed rule, will, among other things, specify the procedures for requesting eligibility for indexing and for requesting addition to the index as well as the reporting requirements for index holders. This rule will also describe the criteria requestors will use for assembling a qualified expert panel to evaluate for FDA the safety and effectiveness of a new animal drug proposed for indexing.

James P. McPherson was a tailor in New York City from 1842 until his trek to Wisconsin in April 1850, and in the first few years of his life in Wisconsin, he made clothes for friends and acquaintances. According to the diary of James P. McPherson, on the June day that he removed the splinter from Isabella's foot, he also "measured John and D. McDonald for pants. From that time forward, J.P. often mentioned McDonald; they went to Madison, attended meetings, and in general kept in contact until McDonald's death. John and Janet McDonald are buried in Verona Cemetery, as are the McPhersons.
These folks of Springdale and the surrounding area have become almost neighbors to me, as they were to my gg-grandfather James Peter McPherson. If there any kin of John and Janet McDonald out there in my readerdom, I would like to hear from you, and to learn more about their lives and family in the States, as well as Scotland.

Your baby's crib is one of the most important furniture purchases you will ever make. Though guests will not be asked to sit on it, and it will not be in your home for too terribly long, it's your child's dreamland for the first year or two. You and your baby are relying on its security and safety to get many a good night's sleep.
When buying a crib, you need to do seven safety checks:
If you're assembling the crib yourself, follow the directions very, very carefully. The safety of your baby's crib is in your hands. If you have any safety concerns about the crib you purchased, or any other furniture or supplies you and your baby depend on, contact the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) any time of the day or night at 1-800-638-2772 or www.cpsc.gov
The contents of your baby's crib are just as important to your baby's safety as the crib itself. Make sure that none of the toys you put into or near the crib have strings that are longer than six inches, and none of the toys should be thick or plush. It is very important that your baby's crib remain free of all soft bedding and toys, which have been associated with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). You want to put your baby to bed, face-up, in a warm sleeper rather than under a blanket. If you do use a blanket, it should be thin enough for your baby to breathe through, and you should tuck it around the crib mattress and up only as far as your baby's chest. With your baby safely put to bed each night, you may be able to get some sleep yourself in the coming months!

Skip to comments.The Federal Government is Guilty Accomplice in School Shooting in Newtown Connecticut
Posted on 12/16/2012 5:34:24 AM PST by marktwain
This shooting is yet another tragic example of the failed, grotesque insistence on helpless victim zones where any crazed gunman can be assured of a large number of disarmed, undefended, helpless victims, all crammed into one place, where he can kill many children before an armed defender arrives from elsewhere. It is disturbing and sick that the federal government so hates the right of the American people to bear arms, and so hates their natural right to self defense, that the government insists on making them helpless, disarmed victims for anyone who cares to kill them. And in this case, all of the teachers and staff were willfully disarmed by the Federal Government, by force of law and threat of prison, to ensure that they would be disarmed and incapable of saving the lives of the children entrusted to their care.
That makes the Federal Government complicit in the deaths of these children, and in fact an accessory to their mass murder, by forcibly disarming (with the very real threat of prison) all the teachers, all the staff, and any parent who may have been on school property. That stupid law guaranteed the shooters would meet no immediate armed resistance, which is exactly what is needed to stop such an attack.
(Excerpt) Read more at oathkeepers.org ...
Exactly right. The Federal Government is to blame for the entire incident for failure to encourage armed teachers/administrators and leaving our children defenseless. Right on...
So, here is a question. Since the scene of the crime would be troubling, to say the least, would any of the LEO's that were involved in securing and investigating be dis-allowed from having firearms in the future if they seek counseling? Seems that I heard or read that is the case for vets who are labeled with PTSD. Why would not the LEO's be treated the same if they suffer some form of PTSD after this? What about any firemen or EMT's? Just wonderin'.
Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.
It goes to show how erring on the side of caution is a terribly inadequate problem-solving process.
This is what I have been saying all along. The State of Connecticut and the Federal Government by having the strict gun control laws assumed the responsibility of protecting the teachers and innocent children. The State and Federal lawmakers that passed these laws are responsible for the carnage, not the gun makers, for it was the lawmakers that created the situation for evil to murder the innocent children without any resistance. This is just logical, plain and simple. Why can't the masses see this?
I'm for school marshals. Plain clothed and ready to handle a situation like the one in Connecticut.
The schools in our county have signs; "This is a gun free zone", nothing like advertising that everyone there is unprotected.
Not a bad idea. About $400/student - 3% to 4% of total spend. Everyone on board for raising taxes to make them available? If not then where to get the money from?
I'd like to see a suit for their failing their fiduciary duties.
Not only that but this link from the Gateway Pundit plays a big part as well.
Over the past 50 years we have basically stopped hospitalizing the insane.
Uh, at Sandy Hook that would be $280,000/yr. I think they can find a part-time armed guard for less than that.
armed staff, not a bad idea....
thinking of being the first housewife on my street to own one ! I'm home during the day, an a girlfriend had her front door broken down while she was home - intruder ran when he saw her!
"World Peace, Baby".....
This shooting is yet another tragic example of the failed, grotesque insistence on helpless victim zones where any crazed gunman can be assured of a large number of disarmed,
I like to compare this school incident to a police station. You do not see gunmen invading police station to shoot up all the cops. Why? All the cops have weapons to shoot back with. End of story.
You get what you pay for. If you can get a well armed guard that can handle someone with a Bushmaster with taped together 30 round magazines, then get them. That person will still need to live near the community to work in the school Perhaps a retired police officer in the area? Should each local district make that decision and come up with the funds? What about poor districts?
Im for school marshals. Plain clothed and ready to handle a situation like the one in Connecticut.
Just train the teachers to defend themselves and their students.
In the future I would not be surprised if we find that this was another government like "Fast and Furious" planned carnage for the purpose of eliminating guns in America.
More guns in the hands of people willing to defend themselves is probably the best deterrent for crime there is.
But back to the insanity problem.
Not to lock these(mentally ill)people up or at the very least get them help while making sure they can't do harm to anyone else should not be rocket science.
If you are a bad guy which school would you attack from the below:
1. A school in the United States where by law there are no weapons in some states?
2. A school in Israel where many of the personnel are armed with pistols and rifles to protect the students?
In my local school district that would be $600,000 a year for a district with 1500 students and 3 school buildings. There are 43 teacher aides on the payroll. Cut a couple from each building and you can pay for a guard.
I call on schools in my line of business. Many have a security desk in the front manned by what looks like retired citizens looking for some extra cash. Their responsibility is to make sure you sign in when visiting the school - great security measure.
Why not man the security desk with a real armed security guard? The only thing lacking is the will of the government run schools to do it.
the absentee dad is a guilty accomplice, out living "married" to his affair partner leaving mom holding the bag of a mentally ill son.
they would have been hiding behind the doors and calling the cops. just let the teachers get trained and be armed
I'd like to see a suit for their failing their fiduciary duties.
Me too! However I'm afraid that would result in the politicians putting an armed guard in every school room in America.
I would rather see teachers trained and proficient in weapon use as part of their education.
I think that is a better option than arming teachers who often come into close physical contact with their students. Also if you want a teacher you want a teacher - not a teacher who is trained to engage an armed assailant in a firefight with a room full of children. Something could be said about have a well armed and trained citizenry, but we live in a country of specialists including our law enforcement personal. Even those dedicated to full-time learning on how to respond are vulnerable in these situations (the police officer at the Sikh temple who got shot for example).
Armed Pilots Program
We only have to look at the incredibly successful armed pilots program that continues today.
When proposed, liberals imagined it would result in shootouts at 30,000 feet and distracted pilots who would cause crash after crash.
Liberals were wrong -— AGAIN.
Just like they were wrong in every state that passed concealed carry.
Just like they were wrong in every state that passed the Castle Doctrine.
Here is a solution that costs way, way less than that. Some training, a weapon, done.
Well yes. But people taking meds that cause rage or suicidal urges must be kept away from guns and cars until they are better.
Trouble is Chuck like we just pointed out on the tv thread Chuck no bullets in many of these guns even in Israel.
The solution that will be arrived at will be to hire more government employees as security guards. And they will be unionized. This can be done quickly. It will satisfy those who just want to feel like they are participating. It will help unemployment ( not really, but that's how it will be portrayed). It will help create more Democrat voters. This will be the solution they arrive at. Gun control doesn't create any new government jobs. Finally, the Democrats will love it because it doesn't actually solve the problem, so they can keep complaining about guns. Everything will be the same, except we will have more unionized government employees who vote Democrat.
Yes, and the CT people would never agree that no-gun zones are a safety threat. No common sense there
From what I have read most recently, the mother dumped the father, not the other way around—if you have seen a story that the marriage busted up over an affair, I'd be interested in a link. The only things that I have seen indicating that the father had hooked up with some one else were very early when the media had the father living in NJ.
I do agree that the divorce was almost certainly a contributing factor, but I would hesitate to dump the entire responsibility for the divorce on the father.
And...when was the last time there was a mass-shooting in a gun store?
The problem is most teachers are nut-job leftists who hate guns and would be the last people on earth to voluntarily submit to gun training and carrying.
The reality is hired armed protection is likely the only way this will work.
Perhaps you are thinking of the maternal step-grandfather, who was a principal in the school district who seems to have dumped his first wife for a school nurse?
"the absentee dad is a guilty accomplice, out living married to his affair partner leaving mom holding the bag of a mentally ill son."
My advice to you is to 'Judge not, lest you be judged'. You do not know the situation.
Was the shooter NOT a legal adult?
murder suicide at gun store/shooting range
One more time
I am not saying it was a mass shooting, your comment just jogged my mind about a weird instance I was familiar with. Still what a loony tune doing it there; those guys there are tough
If the teachers were allowed to carry, there would be little cost. They should be professionally trained but there are numerous places where they can get good training.
Also, many towns have volunteer fire departments. The costs are minimal. How about the same setup with a couple of on site armed volunteers (properly trained and deputized, of course). Perhaps there should be an off duty or retired (or even an active) policeman in charge? That would give some defense in depth. The school could provide the radios and lunch and the volunteers would provide their own (approved) weaponry and time.
This isn't rocket science, but there are a lot of laws, lawyers, and politicians in the way.

Newspaper now taking recipes for cookbook
PARKERSBURG – It's that time of year again.
Cooks of the Mid-Ohio Valley are invited to submit recipes for publication in the 59th annual Parkersburg News and Sentinel and Marietta A.M. Cookbook.
Recipes submitted in accordance with the following rules are eligible to win prizes, including the grand prize of a $500 gift card from Foodland.
"We are very excited to partner with The News and Sentinel, and I would like to remind everyone that Foodland is where dinner begins," said Foodland owner Jim Oppe.
The deadline for entering the contest is Sept. 16. The annual cookbook edition will be published Nov. 24, the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
When this contest began, there weren't any categories. In fact, it took nearly 25 years before entries were divided into three courses: soups and salads, main dishes and desserts. That was expanded to five categories in 1973. This year there are seven categories, thus giving more cooks the opportunity to participate.
Categories for 2013 are:
* Appetizers
* Soups
* Salads
* Breads
* Main dishes
* Holiday cookies
* Desserts
To win prizes, you must follow these rules:
1. Each contestant may enter no more than a total of 25 recipes, up to five recipes in each of five categories. This means you MAY NOT enter ALL categories, but must select your favorite five. Make sure to note what category (or categories) you are entering and count your entries before sending them in. If you send more than five recipes in any one category or enter more than five categories NONE of your recipes will be entered into competition.

From Romans 12 comes the plea that one is to worship by living holistic, God pleasing lives. How one learns what God asks of them come by reading God's word in the bible. Some people find that bible confusing and feel it doesn't make sense. God's grace empowers different forms of service among Christians, but all forms of ministry function to build up the body of Christ.
In having the word from the bible, one finds many teachings and resources of what God brings to life. Does this mean that people can order others to do as they say? Does the Word of God support what you say? The Spirit that moves within everyone might be the spirit of good of the spirit of evil. The example of praying for rain might bring flooding conditions as well as conditions for the projects which do not need rain. Still one is encouraged to pray for rain.
What does God reveal? All are creatures of God and the children of Jesus. God didn't choose one for their looks or their singing. God chose and He promises to deliver in all aspects of life. No matter how angry one is, God is with them. No mater what one does, God is with them. God supports one through the aggravations of living.
As one studies God's word, they experience difficulty because the world moves fast and one may have trouble keeping current. Sometimes the older generation finds it difficult to give advice to younger generations because their experiences are so different. On occasion one's spiritual lives are frozen in time, as well. What one absorbs on Sunday mornings is not enough. Everyone prays for many things, but there may be strange happenings which result.
While everyone prays for a variety of reasons; on the other hand, one also needs the prayers of others. One asks God to be part of the process as all are a family of God. Countless believers have been supported through a crisis by the prayers and love of others in their church. Prayers, phone calls, a kind word, a hug after church - these actions express the community in Christ.
Take time on this Labor Day weekend to come to church, whether you are a member or a visitor in the area. Sunday, Aug. 31, will be the final date in 2014 for the service at 9:30 a.m. since on Sept. 7 there will again be two services: Contemporary at 8:30 a.m. or the Traditional at 10:45.

- Abstract
- The electrochemical polymerization of glutamic acid at the glassy carbon electrode was investigated in phosphate buffer solution by cyclic voltammetry. The applied voltage range, pH of electrolyte, cyclic number were explored for optimal polymerization conditions. The resulting film exhibits an electrocatalytic ability to hydrazine, reducing the overpotential by 500mV. The electrocatalytic response of hydrazine is evaluated with regard to pH, scan rate, applied voltage, hydrazine concentration and other variables. The rate constant of the catalytic reaction was 1.2 x 10^4 M^-1.s^-1. When used as amperometric detector, the modified electrode yields a detection limit of 1 x 10^-8 M hydrazine. The electrode is rather stable even after use for a month and a reproducible response was obtained.

I agree, try the prunes. I always used them when Clare had tummy trouble.
IIRC - prunes are low on the allergen scale
and I agree with maybe cutting back on the solids a bit.

I lost 22 lbs in 8 months... with a bit of determination and common sense information from this book.
My DD has gone four days before since starting solids. The nurse was not concerned b/c she wasn't seeming uncomfortable and just suggested I give peaches (prunes are good too).

Prunes helped my LO. Also, I was at the health unit today and they said that infants, when starting solids can poop once every 1-7 days.
prunes work for my lo and if they dont work i give her juice
My daughter went five days w/o a bowel movement after we introduced solids, and often three or four days. We never used a suppository (were never offered this), but nature eventually took its course without problem. We feed our LO bottled prunes/pears with every breakfast, and 'try' to get lots of fluids with meals, in addition to BM. Generally now, at 10 months, our LO has a bowel movement daily. Sometimes the stools are harder and more difficult to pass than others. I've read that carrots, apples, bananas can cause constipation, but they're hard to avoid in a well-rounded diet. When my LO starts to exhibit 'the sign' of starting a bowel movement, I ask her if she wants to go upstairs, and I help her a little bit by putting her knees to her chest - it seems to help.

Tony Stewart wants NASCAR to define 'Boys, have at it' polic
CHARLOTTE — As a track owner who knows drama sells tickets and a team owner who knows compelling storylines appeal to sponsors, Tony Stewart understands the "Boys, have at it" concept.
But as a two-time champion and 13-season veteran of the Sprint Cup Series, he would like some more definition of the policy introduced by NASCAR last season — particularly in the wake of $25,00 fines and probation for Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick for a postrace altercation on pit road Saturday at Darlington Raceway.
"I'm curious now what the true meaning is,' " Stewart said after a news conference Wednesday afternoon at Levine Children's Hospital, one of four children's hospitals that will be receive proceeds from the HBO pay-per-view telecast of his Prelude to the Dream all-star charity event at Eldora Speedway.
"I think they need to do a better job of explaining to all of us what it means and what's acceptable and not acceptable. I'm all for whatever they want to do, but every time a situation happens like this, we all go, 'well, this is what they told us, and this is what it is.' There are a lot of us curious about what does this really mean. … I'm trying to figure out what the goal of it was; what are they trying to accomplish by saying, 'Have at It?' And with that, what does it mean? If you want us to have at it, where are we limited? What are we supposed to be able to do now that we weren't able to do (before)? I'm not sure we know what that means now.
"If you tell them to have at it, and (then) you get fined for it, then you've basically told them to not do it."
"Boys, have at it" was coined by NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton during a news conference in January 2010, and it's set the tone for how NASCAR has officiated its races the past 18 months. After admitting they had "overregulated" the competition by punishing drivers for on-track behavior, NASCAR told drivers it was allowing them more latitude in "self-policing," i.e. bumping and banging fenders on the track to send messages without fear of facing repercussions.
NASCAR often has turned a blind eye when drivers have chosen to intentionally wreck each other since, but there have been limits to the frontier justice. Last season, Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski each were penalized after making contact in the final laps of a Nationwide race in Madison, Ill. (which resulted in Edwards winning after crashing Keselowski on the last turn).
This season, Ryan Newman and Juan Pablo Montoya were reprimanded by NASCAR (but not penalized) after tangling at Richmond. Busch and Harvick became the first Cup drivers to be punished for roughhousing
"If you're Kyle and Kevin right now and having to pay $25,000, you want to know what's going to cost you money," Stewart says. "I think we have a right to know. You want NASCAR to make sure they have the authority. But at the same time, don't lead us the impression that you're turning us loose and all of a sudden start throwing penalties and fines. We understand that's going to happen but give us the guidelines. Be fair to us and let us know this is what's acceptable and not. Then maybe with that knowledge, those guys don't get in that situation Saturday night."
"I've been driving in this series 13 years, and I don't know what's acceptable and what's not. What's the penalty? We know what's right and wrong, but sometimes you sit and weigh the option of is the penalty worth it? So at least let us know what it is, so we have the option of making the decision. I got fined a lot more and was on probation a lot longer for doing a lot less than what happened Saturday night. It's fine for it to change. I don't have a problem with that. I'm fine with the direction NASCAR is going with it. I'd just like to know what's expected out of us."
NASCAR did clarify in the wake of the Darlington race that Busch and Harvick were targeted for what happened after the race and not in the closing laps of the Southern 500, when Busch hooked Harvick into the front straightaway wall.
After the checkered flag, Harvick stopped his Chevrolet in front of Busch's Toyota on pit road and took a wild swing at the driver's side window of Busch's car. Busch then bumped Harvick's car aside and drove to the garage.
A NASCAR spokesman said the sanctioning body took action because the drivers had endangered the safety of those on pit road.
"OK, say, 'Don't do anything on pit road. Pit road is off limits,' " Stewart said. "Where do you handle disputes? On the track? In the motor coach lot? The Kmart parking lot? Are you allowed to do it in the NASCAR hauler? What's acceptable? Give us the guidelines. Everyone's willing to follow the rules. Just tell us what they are and where we're supposed to do this."
The driver-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing said he wasn't complaining about the policy but suggested it might need tweaking, as did
"Trust me, I'm on NASCAR's side," he said. "They have to have the authority to do this. They have to be the guys who set the rules and boundaries, but as this sport has evolved, going and sitting in the trailer isn't enough anymore, because all it does a lot of times is frustrate guys more than ever. I'm not sure that problems haven't been worse after leaving the trailer recently than it has been going into it. I don't know where the accountability is anymore and where everything stands. We at least all need the opportunity to understand what's acceptable (and) what's not. That helps the drivers from getting in those situations.
"You go to short tracks and (a postrace alteration) happens, and you don't normally see the problem with the same two guys the next week. But it sure lingers on with what we do. It's like, 'Is the system working with what we're doing?' Things seem to linger on a lot longer nowadays than it used to in this series."
Stewart said it wasn't a mistake for NASCAR to summon Montoya and Newman (who drives for SHR) because "they've done that for years. But there's been times I've been in there and felt better when I left. There's probably more times than not that I've felt worse about it and been more frustrated (afterward). There's a lot of situations that it's debatable whether you're accomplishing the goal of bringing in two guys to begin with."
If drivers do want to settle their differences after a race, Stewart, who was involved in an altercation at a sprint-car race in Australia in January, seems to favor the old-school approach of letting drivers do so in full view of the crowd — particularly if it's at Eldora, a dirt track he's owned since 2004.
Busch will be among many NASCAR drivers competing in the Prelude, which features Super Late Models. Harvick is skipping the event, but "being a promoter, if he asked, he would have a spot," Stewart said with a laugh. "I'm all for facilitating. If they want to settle it on the frontstretch at Eldora in front of the crowd, I'm all for it. I'd be more than happy to help them do whatever they wanted to do. I'm all for it."
Once considered the "bad boy" in Cup for being embroiled in many feuds with other drivers and the sanctioning body early in his career, Stewart, who turns 40 on May 20, said he laughed Tuesday night when he saw a video montage from the "Boys, have at it" era and realized he wasn't in many of the highlight clips.
"It was kind of odd," he said. "It was 'Wow, I feel I've shorted myself a little bit.' I'm feeling like I need to send NASCAR an invoice because I've gotten penalized a lot more and had to pay a lot more in fines and (spend) more weeks in probation for doing a lot less than what happened the past two weeks. I feel like I'm owed some money back here."

Have you ever wondered why everyone stares at the numbers flashing by on a crowded elevator? Or why so many people are interested in celebrities and the tabloids? These everyday behaviors are what make the study of psychology so interesting. Psychology helps explain how the inner-workings of the brain manifest in our everyday life.
As most people already realize, a large part of psychology is devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues, but that's just the beginning when it comes to the applications for psychology. In addition to mental health, psychology can be applied to a variety of issues that impact health and daily life including:
Because psychology is so diverse in its focus and research, it also prepares students for a wide variety of careers. It helps students develop universally useful skills like communication, critical-thinking, and a proficiency with statistics and data.
So if you're curious about why we do the things that we do and ready for a rewarding career, join us in the Department of Psychology.

Can you sue bank for overdraft fees?
Class-action suits filed against banks
By Lucy Carmel, THELAW.TV
Consumers are disputing methods banks use in ordering transactions and charging overdraft fees. Several class-action lawsuits have resulted in consumers collecting refunds.
In June, plaintiffs received checks in the mail from TD Bank following a settlement closed in March, according to MassLive.com. A federal court in Florida ruled that the bank had authorized customers' purchases that should have been declined due to insufficient funds, and processed the charges in order of highest to lowest to trigger more overdraft fees.
Robert Gilbert of the Miami-based law firm Grossman Roth explains the bank practice through this example: A customer has $100 in a checking account and proceeds to make charges to that account in the amount of $10, then $20, then $50, then $90, with the last charge putting the account holder at a negative $70 balance.
But rather than charging one overdraft fee on only the last transaction, the bank processes the largest purchase first, followed by the $50, then $20, then the $10 transaction, so the bank instead collects three overdraft fees, even though there were sufficient funds in the account when those charges went through.
"This happens repeatedly for the banks' benefit, and to the detriment of the consumer," said Dale Ledbetter, P.A., and president of his namesake law firm in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Similar cases have been waged against Wells Fargo, PNC Bank, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase and Citizen's bank.
"There have been numerous class-action cases in the Florida district, and consumers have won all of those cases except one," Ledbetter said.
Banks maintain their motive for timing transactions isn't tied to earning revenue from fees.
"While banks have long justified the reordering of transactions as a way to make sure the most significant bills — like the mortgage and car payments — get paid first, the negative attention has caused some institutions to abandon the practice, or make other overdraft policy changes," said Greg McBride, CFA, and senior financial analyst for Bankrate.com.
Some new bank policies include limiting the number of overdrafts generated in one day, or not charging overdrafts unless the account is overdrawn by a certain threshold.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, is examining consumers' complaints about overdraft fees, but it's not foreseeable that any new bank regulations will pass.
Though consumers' battles with overdrafts make headlines, only a small segment of bank customers actually ever pay these fees. McBride points to a yearlong survey by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) that found that 75 percent of account holders never overdrew their accounts within a 12-month period. Eleven percent only did so once. In total, 93 percent of overdraft revenue was generated by just 14 percent of account holders.
"Further reigning in overdraft practices and fees is something that only truly benefits a small segment of account holders that are serial overdrafters, but results in the unintended consequence of fewer free checking accounts, higher fees, and higher balance requirements for everyone else," McBride said.
Class-action lawsuits that challenge the practice of reordering transactions are just one way consumers are waging legal wars against banks on overdraft fees. Compliance with disclosure laws is another angle consumers are using to fight for settlements.
"The rule states that overdraft policies can't be applied unless a depositor opts in, but the opt-in assumes the customer is told what the charges are and how it works," Ledbetter said. "An examination of case after case shows that many times consumers are told about the overdraft protection, but not the costs, the risks and the manipulation of their account."
The good news is, consumers don't need to pursue a class-action lawsuit to tackle the overdraft-fee issue.
"Avoiding overdraft fees is the financial equivalent of being able to walk and chew gum, and most people have figured that out," McBride said. "Good financial habits, not more far-reaching regulation, is the answer to avoiding overdraft fees."
Bank customers can avoid overdraft fees on their own by monitoring their account balances online and via mobile devices, signing up for email and text alerts, and specifically requesting a link between their checking and savings accounts that would cover any shortfall for a nominal fee.

The second patch for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim was released yesterday for the PS3. It seems the frameate issues reported before the patch was released are still a problem, but now there's a new list of problems too. Some of the new bugs reported by gamers are, at the very least, comical. One new issue involves dragons flying backwards, basically dancing the moonwalk in the sky. Less hysterical bugs exists too, like the game no longer allowing magic resistance.
Video of a Skyrim dragon flying backwards is right under the "Read More" tag. I know you will click it.
If you've downloaded the Skyrim patch for the PS3 what are some issues you've come across, if any?

"Can an Attack Deny Iran the Bomb?"

"As the international pressure on Iran intensifies, the option of bombing Iran's nuclear facilities remains on the table. It is widely believed that a limited strike targeting key nodes in the nuclear complex can delay Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons by several years. However, a fresh look at the historical record suggests that an attack can intensify the Iranian nuclear challenge and push Iran across the nuclear weapons threshold sooner rather than later.
Advocates of a military strike believe that the Israeli destruction of the Osiraq reactor complex in June 1981 delayed Iraq's efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. This belief rests on two assumptions: that Iraq was pursuing a weapons option in a determined manner before the attack and that the destroyed reactor was intended to serve as a key component of these efforts. Both assumptions are false.
In the mid-1970s Iraq began to develop a nuclear weapons option as part of a wider expansion of their nuclear power program. Iraqi sources demonstrate that there was no dedicated organization, staff or funding for the purposes of acquiring nuclear weapons prior to June 1981. In other words, Iraq had not begun to act on Saddam's nuclear weapons ambition in a serious or determined manner.
The Israeli attack triggered Iraq's determined pursuit of nuclear weapons. In September 1981, three months after the strike, Iraq established a well-funded clandestine nuclear weapons program. This had a separate organization, staff, ample funding and a clear mandate from Saddam Hussein. As the nuclear weapons program went underground the international community lost sight of these activities and had no influence on the Iraqi nuclear calculus...."

Staff writer Vicki Vaughan began by noting that our state is earning the moniker of "Saudi Texas."
Its booming oil and gas production from shale plays, particularly the Eagle Ford, has analysts tossing around descriptions such as "phenomenal," "amazing" and "unprecedented" when discussing the numbers.
"Since production began in the Eagle Ford Shale, the state's oil output has doubled and Texas' share of domestic oil output has reached all-time record high levels," she noted.
According to studies, Texas' oil production has risen by 71 percent in the last two years, and in November, it was almost three times that of North Dakota, the nation's No. 2 oil-producing state and home of the touted Bakken Shale.
Naturally, the oil boom here has had significant implications – both in terms of jobs/employment and revenue for state and local governments.
Oil field workers are paid high salaries (averaging $112,000 in 2011, more than twice the average of all Texas workers), she noted. Also, severance taxes from oil and gas production are back up as a significant source of revenue.
The five counties cited with the most drilling activity were Karnes, McMullen, DeWitt, La Salle and Dimmit, although Bee, Live Oak and Goliad also are located in the Eagle Ford zone.
The Eagle Ford's production is expected to last "a couple of decades more," according to an analyst, although as "technology evolves, the life of the field could extend longer than originally anticipated."
This encouraging news should motivate city and county officials to do everything in their power to prepare for the region's growing needs: first and foremost, providing a reliable source of water, along with improved roads, housing, law enforcement, schools, health care and others.
It appears the Eagle Ford is going to be with us for the next 20 to 30 years, or longer, so we'd better take steps now to ensure that Beeville and Bee County are prepared to gain full advantage of this blessing beneath our feet.
And, no, we're not referring to the sand, sheik.
– Chip Latcham
