A woman police in Houston call the "Gangster Granny" fought back against a would-be robber, stabbing him in the neck with a barbecue fork.
Margaret Jackson, 73, had just gotten home last week when her dog heard something outside.
She looked out the back window and said she saw a teen trying to break into her home. So se grabbed a pair of scissors, a barbecue fork and went to the back door.
"I opened the door like this. Real fast. And he was back there. And he came from back there. And he pushed me. We were struggling," Jackson told Houston TV station KPRC as she demonstrated the fight.
She said the teen then tried to get away.
"He was trying to get away. He was pushing on me. He turned around. And when he turned around. That's when he messed up. I got him right in the neck," Jackson said.
She said after she stabbed him in the neck, he took off running.
"I don't want 'em in here. Because they come one time and see what's in here and they're coming back. Well he's gonna go tell all his friends so they don't come here. Don't go there because you're subject to get killed with a fork," Jackson said.
After she fought off the burglar, Jackson said she was too tired to call police, so she let her daughter call 911.
When police arrived, she said they called her the "Gangster Granny."

"Odd Man Out": Gelf Magazine Interview
Gelf Magazine has a lengthy interview with Odd Man Out author Matt McCarthy. Click Here to read the interview.
McCarthy continues to peddle the line that any inaccuracies are simply mistaken dates. But as I documented on March 6, it's a lot more than the wrong date on the calendar. Key events in the book simply couldn't have happened.
1 Comment
I see you're still beating this dead horse beyond total recognition yet you haven't addressed my post in the "Thin 'N That" entry.
McCarthy's had his 15 minutes. We all know that. You can quit your crusade anytime and get back to more pressing matters like things people actually care about. Like, I don't know, guys who still play for the Angels?
We get it. You looooove the Angels. You took it as a personal affront that McCarthy would dare say anything bad about the organization. Out of deep love and respect you covered up things like the Rally Schlong because, well, people just didn't need to know any of that stuff. No, we'd much rather read about your eternal man-crush on Tom Kotchman in every other post. Yada yada yada…

Investors Punished by Never Ending Flash Crashes
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- On November 29, 2012 shares in a security linked to satellite operator Iridium Communications (IRDMU) rose about 14,000% after set of trades in the $14 stock spiked to roughly $2000 on Nasdaq(NDAQ) .
That obviously flawed stock quote -- along with similar big price swings in NYSE-traded ETF's like the SPDR Barclays Convertible Securities (CWB) and the Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull (MIDU) , RLJ Lodging Trust (RLJ) , Kraft Foods (KRFT) and Enstar Group (ESGR) -- are among thousands of examples of high frequency traders violating post-Flash Crash regulations, according to Eric Scott Hunsader, the founder of Nanex, a market data provider.
The same destabilizing trading behavior is seen in big name, high volume stocks like Google(GOOG) , when volatility created by unexpected news events moves shares in a Flash Crash-like manner, Hunsader says. He often highlights those trades on Twitter and Nanex's web site .
One culprit is the so-called 'stub quote,' a sort of placeholder trade that can also test the price of a stock without committing money. The problem is stub quotes were banned by the Securities and Exchange Commission after the 2010 "Flash Crash but - according to Hunsader and other stock market watchers - they continue to cause wild stock swings.
According to the SEC's definition, a stub quote is "an offer to buy or sell a stock at a price so far away from the prevailing market that it is not intended to be executed, such as an order to buy at a penny or an offer to sell at $100,000."
In the past, the practice stub quotes was considered an innocuous way for market makers to maintain quotes in stocks they didn't want to trade. However, in the wake of the Flash Crash, stub quotes were highlighted by SEC chair Mary Schapiro as a key culprit of the day's trading volatility - for instance Apple's(AAPL) surge to roughly $100,000 a share and trades in Boston Beer Company (SAM) and Accenture(ACN) as low as a cent. Recent allegations of market manipulation indicate stub quotes and trade cancellations are part of illegal strategies such as 'spoofing' and 'layering.'
In the Flash Crash, exchanges excluding the NYSE were forced to cancel thousands of trades at prices deemed erroneous when a lack of real bid and ask offers caused stub quotes to be executed. The prohibition now forces market makers to hold bid and ask offers no further than 8% away from the best reported price of a stock, and no more than 20% away at the market's open and close.
While the stub quote may seem like just more Wall Street inside baseball, they can end up hurting retail investors. Some trades stood in the Flash Crash and in similar instances since, causing real investor losses . The crash is also seen as eroding investor confidence and causing chronic outflows from stock markets.

Afghan man brings activism for women to Norwich UniversityBy Stefan Hard
Staff Writer | July 30,2013
Provided Photo Ali Shahidy studies recently at his home in Kabul, Afghanistan. The 24-year-old women's rights activist is attending Norwich University in Northfield this fall on scholarships and with help from a host family and a fund established to help him in his first year in college.Ali Shahidy is coming to America, and to Norwich University.
Shahidy, an Afghan native and 24-year-old womens rights activist living in Kabul, said he has been dreaming of coming to the U.S. to attend college so he can return to Afghanistan and be a more effective advocate for womens rights in a country where women remain second-class citizens.
It has, at times, seemed like an impossible dream for Shahidy, who outlined his background and plans during a phone interview from Kabul in mid-July. For the past 10 years, he said, he has been the primary breadwinner for his family of seven siblings and his parents; his father became disabled as an adult, and a younger brother has been disabled from birth. His family, with whom he lives in a modest apartment, includes a younger sister he said he helped rescue from an abusive arranged marriage that she was thrust into at age 17.
Despite his challenges, Shahidy earned good grades in school while weaving rugs at home in a family business, then landed a series of jobs that have broadened his skills, including interpreting for English-speaking Portuguese forces in Afghanistan under the International Security Assistance Forces mandate, helping Afghan companies review project proposals and developing mobile apps and marketing tools as a social media specialist.
Shahidy is active online with social media, where he discusses human rights problems and possible solutions, particularly in the area of womens rights, as an independent activist. He recently was awarded a grant to train and oversee a small staff of mentors who will work on Internet chat spaces and the streets of Kabul. They will offer education and support with a goal of reducing bullying, most of which he said involves Muslim religious zealots harassing women who dare to try to go about their daily business in public with some degree of freedom.
Shahidy said he will continue to oversee the three-month anti-bullying project in Kabul even while studying in Vermont. He has secured two Norwich University scholarships that will fund most of his tuition expenses for four years of study. Other academic and living expenses will be provided initially through a private fund established for his education and by a host family in Northfield that has stepped forward for his first year. Shahidy hopes to earn a bachelors degree in psychology.
I spoke to Shahidy by phone on the day he got his plane ticket to America. Despite a poor connection, it was clear he was excited and beginning to believe his dream was coming true.
I think getting an academic degree in the U.S. will help a lot, Shahidy said. I think it will help me to find more effective ways to go back and fight for womens rights in my country. I personally witness a lot of youth (in Afghanistan) engaged a lot of the time in trying to exercise their rights, and I want to help them also be more effective.
Shahidy said his experience helping his younger sister in her abusive marriage solidified his determination to help women enjoy more equal status with men in Afghan society. Shahidy and his family were eventually successful in helping his sister divorce, and she now lives again with her siblings and is starting her adult life over again, he said.
Learning from his sisters experience, Shahidy has become increasingly competent in social media. Shahidy started and manages a Facebook page in Afghanistan, Daughters of Afghanistan, which he describes as a platform to celebrate the strength and accomplishments of the daughters of Afghanistan ordinary women doing extraordinary things.
Kara Lozier, of Pownal, a facilitator for international students hoping to study in the U.S., helped establish and manage a private fund on Indiegogo.com called Support Alis Education. Lozier worked for a Department of State scholarship program established after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, but she said she found Shahidy by chance online after reading a paper on street harassment that he had submitted to a human rights forum Lozier had offered to assist.
He was only a handful of men from Afghanistan writing, and I was determined to meet him, said Lozier.
Lozier contacted Shahidy about his paper on bullying and learned that for two years, Shahidy had been applying unsuccessfully for scholarships to study in the U.S. Hed run into a lot of rejections and obstacles, she said.
Lozier agreed to become his college counselor, search out remaining scholarship possibilities, and start a fundraising effort for him. She discovered Norwich grants that had later application deadlines and helped him successfully apply.
Shahidy also already has a Northfield connection. Jonathan Hoffman, founder of Direct Aid International in Northfield, has met Shahidy twice in Kabul, where Hoffman travels annually in the summer to begin school-building and well-digging projects in the Afghan countryside.
Shahidy should make quite an impression on the Norwich campus, said Hoffman on Monday, having just returned Friday from Kabul and having just met with Shahidy. Hes bright, calm, patient, well-educated and I.T.-savvy. He wont be defensive about his country. Hes what I meet a lot in Afghanistan I dont meet a lot of angry young men sympathetic to the Taliban. Hell change perceptions here of what a young Afghan man can be.
Hoffman said his nonprofit organization will also establish a fund to support Shahidy long term in Northfield.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

Does anyone know if there is a guideline for how many ounces she should be eating at each feeding, or for the day? She's getting 2 bottles of breastmilk while I'm at work, and then I BF for the other feedings. Just trying to make sure she's getting enough while I'm away at work - any info will be appreciated!

New bike!
OK, it's not actually a new bike anymore. It was new when I bought it back in March, but after five months of fairly intense riding, it's not new anymore. But the excitement hasn't worn off at all, even if the tires are showing some wear. I haven't ridden my Gary Fisher since spring, if that tells you anything.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. For years I had wanted to buy another bike. Not that I didn't like my Fisher; it was my primary means of getting around town for most of the year since 2008. I rode thousands of miles on it, my first grown-up bike. But apparently wanting ever more bikes is a known condition among cyclists. We should probably name it as a syndrome or something.
The problem was that I couldn't decide what kind of bike I wanted to get. It didn't make sense to buy another MTB, even though I never used my Fisher for off-roading. For a while I considered buying a Dutch-style commuter bike, like one of these beauties from the Public Bike Company, but I already had a functional commuter bike, and the geometry of a Dutch bike wasn't really that different from my Fisher. I knew I didn't really want a road bike – although I totally do now. And obviously, cruisers and comfort bikes were right out.
So for a long time I did nothing, waiting for the perfect bike to manifest itself. And it finally did. Daniel at Midtown Bike Company posted some images of some absolutely lovely bikes from the State Bicycle Company, based in Tempe, AZ, on Facebook, and I knew that I had found my first second bike. State makes a variety of bikes, but I settled on the Falcore, a single-speed bike with a flip-flop hub, bullhorn handlebars, and nothing else. I wanted to keep this baby clean and unadorned with bottle cages and other accoutrements. Here's a picture:
Turns out that keeping it clean is more of a challenge than I expected when I order the bike. As you can see from image on State's website, the bike looks light gray in color, which is exactly what I thought I was ordering. But no. It is white. Solid white. White frame, white chain, white crankset, white fork, white stem, white seat, even white tires and white spokes. All of it is white, except for the rims, which are gray. And just to keep that theme going, I bought some lovely front and rear lights with white casings at Victory. Gotta keep those accessories pure, you know.
There is an advantage of having a unique bike like this: if it ever gets stolen [crossing myself] it will be easy to spot on the street or in a pawn shop. And yes, I have noted that essentially I am riding a ghost bike. Apparently I'm not very superstitious.
So, despite the near impossibility of keeping my bike clean, I frickin' love it. It is soooo much lighter and faster than my Fisher, and I rarely miss having gears. And I really love the bullhorn handle bars. Honestly, one of the reasons I chose this bike is that it reminded me of Joseph Gordon Levitt's bike in Premium Rush. (Side note: I really enjoyed that movie, and not just for the biking.) I haven't tried riding it in fixie mode yet, but when I have an afternoon free, you might just see me pedaling around Tiger Lane all hipster like.
One thing that State does with its bikes is discontinue them after a while. That way you are far less likely to see someone else riding your bike around town. I love this. How embarrassing would it be to show up at a group ride and see someone else with your exact bike? It would be like seeing someone else with the same prom dress. You know … from what I've heard.

Dodger Caravan 2010
Wednesday my friends and I went from Roscoes Chicken and Wafles at Pico in Los Angeles, to Best Buys near the airport to Olvera Street in Downtown L.A.
Originally James Loney was supposed to be part of the Caravan but he was a late scratch.
The Dodgers that attended on Wednesday were: Matt Kemp, Fernando Valenzuela, James McDonalds, Ramon Troncoso, Jim Campanis and Steve Yeager and Hall of Famer Jaime Jarrin, the voice of the Dodgers in Spanish!.
It was great to meet up with my friends Erik, Lorena and her niece Elisa.
Loney: We missed you at the Caravan!
Matt Kemp is adorable!
Guess who crashed the party at Roscoes Chicken and Wafles?
That is Barry Bond! My friend Lore was able to take this picture. Someone was saying that while we were waiting to get in that Lady Gaga was inside Roscoes.
Here is Lore with Matt Kemp. I love this picture!
My complain about Roscoes Chicken and Wafles was that once the fans finished eating they were waiting for the players to come around. It was taking a little longer but the waiters/waitresses were telling them they needed the tables! That was not right! They did not tell us anything but just in case we ordered a slice of sweet potatoe pie that was delicious
Meet Jon Soo Hoo, the Dodgers great photographer!
The boys are playing games at Best Buys. Matt Kemp said to us: "Hey you guys are here too ". He also greeted us at Olvera Street.
the 2010 Dodgers Caravan bus. :
At the Plaza of Olvera Street in Downtown L.A. The lines were huge when we got there but we had already talked to the guys at Roscoes so it was OK with us. We justed wanted to be there to support our Boys in Blue!
From Left to right, Jim Campanis, James McDonals, Ramon Troncoso (Tron), Matt Kemp, Steve Yeager, Jaime Jarrin and Fernando.
Ran into Josh Rawitch there! When I yelled his name he came over and gave me a hug. I suggested Philippes for next year's luncheon. He said "that is a good idea, Emma."
We watched all the boys sign and took more pictures. Ran into Pat,Jo, Roberto, Jack and other Dodger fans there.
Afterwards we went to El Paseo for dinner. Pat, Jo and a friend of them came in later and had the table next to us. Since Pat had told me at Olvera Street that it was her birthday, I called the trio that was singing there and had them sing "Las Mananitas" to her. Las Mananitas is the tipical song sang on your birthday, right after singing it they went into the Happy Birthday song.
After dinner, Erik and I walked Lore and her niece Elisa to their car. Mine was across the street but both Erik and I were craving a cup of coffee so we walked across to Philippe's. Philippes has been around for 102 years! http://www.philippes.com/ The coffee tasted so good! and the price, can you believe it costs 10 cents !
I had a wonderful time at the Dodgers Caravan and I put a post in the ITD blog to let Josh Rawich know. Everyone from the current to the past Dodger players in attendance to Jaime Jarrin to the Dodger workers that were there helping the event were wonderful. They had a long day since their day started with a trip in the morning to the Children's hospital and it did not end until very late at night at Olvera Street. You could see the fatigue on some of their faces from the long day but they were being troopers still smiling. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL !!!!!!
A big THANK YOU also to my friends Erik, LTD23(Lore) and Elisa! I miss you all during the offeseason so it was great seeing you again! This is the third year we do this! Let's do it again next year!

Wonderful pics Emma! Glad that you had a great time. Those pics with Matty are just priceless! 🙂 And Barroids came too? Did he just drive around or did he get out of the car?
Thanks Carol!
Matt was very nice! So was Yeager, Jim Campanis and I just love Jaime Jarrin! I only have great things to say about Jaime! Wish I had a little more time to talk to him about his hometown Quito, and his favorite Spanish writers.
Thanks, Emma
Sounds like a terrific time, Emma. And those pics of Kemp were great. He's adorable! Is he really going out with Rhianna?
EMMA – Sounds like you had a great time with the Blue Caravan. I have not been to Rosco's ever in my life, but now it is on my "Gotta CheckOut List". Great pictures with Matt Kemp…he looks so adorable.
Hey Knouff! Thank you for stopping by!
Matt sure is adorable.
There was this hispanic girl about 10 that she was crying because she was excited to talk to Matt. He just smiled at her and talk to her. It was cute.
Waffle was good, the chicken just a little dry. I guess that is because I got a breast. And we are in agreement that Matt is ADORABLE!
Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles is such a cool name. I remember it from the movie 'Jackie Brown.' I have to make it there someday. It is going on my 'Places I Must Eat One Day' list. I'm so jealous of Matt Kemp, he is everything Vernon Wells isn't!
Emma – I just got finished reading Cat's coverage, I hope you didn't encounter as much rudeness as she did. Chicken and waffles? Are they served together? That just sounds like an odd combo. Looks like you had a lot of fun!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
As always you got straight to the Blue pulse.
Great photos and I am jealous you got to go to such an institution like Roscoe's.
But it sounded like your event had a light air to it and the fans and players all got that vibe and ran with it.
Something else you can recommend to the Dodgers is a night where the players serve the fans as a charity event.
I have thrown this at the Rays for three years and they might finally organize something like that to benefit one of their top charities.
Nothing big league, just a wings and things joint and good conversation and smiling players….Always a good combination!
Rays Renegade
Love the name!
Did not know Roscoe's Chicken and Wafles was featured in that movie!
Kemp can run, hit, with his speed he can cover a lot of ground. We are so glad we have him! I started following him in the minor league along with the rest that were there at Jacksonville!
I had a wonderful time and no, I did not encounter any rudeness by the Dodger personnel that worked at the event a day long. I went to the three places that was open to the public. They put a long day since their day started with a visit to the Children's hospital in L.A. that was not open to the public. They were big troopers at Olvera Street after a long day.
You'd be surprised the combo of Chicken and Wafles is great!!
My favorite event was three years ago when the players were our servers at the Panda Inn restaurant. Loney was our server but it was Andre that brought us our food! All the guys were great there. Loney was asking us "is there anything else I can get for you…water, photo, autograph…." I love my boys in Blue!
Wow! How awesome is that! You know my man crush is Albert, but boy, Matt Kemp is a close second. That dude just exemplifies radiance! What a cool opportunity you had, Emma. I'm happy for you (and just a weeeeeee bit jealous😉
FERNANDO MANIA!!…still runnin wild I see. Awesome pics Em!
You were glowing Blue in all those pics.
The Dodger Caravan looks fun! Best wishes to the Dodgers in 2010
Matthew T.
Looked like a great time, Emma! I am glad you had a better time at Caravan than Cat did. I loved to watch Fernando pitch!–great that he is still with the org., and getting the photo with him had to be a rush!🙂 Thanks for sharing, Emma! !Luego!
Nothing wrong with a little man crush🙂 When Matt saw us at Best Buy, he said "hey you guys are back!" Then he saw us at Olvera Street too.
Always glowing Blue! I have so much Blue in my closet!
Thanks Matt. My friends and I had a fabulous time!
I was lucky to see Fernando pitch from his first debut with the Dodgers. The atmosphere at Dodger Stadium was incredible and also in San Diego where a lot of fans crossed the state line to watch him pitch.

Tony Takes the Abuse…Then Lets Loose
Dodgers vs Rockies Game 3
Weather: 79 degrees, partly cloudy.
Wind: 1 mph, Out to LF.
Att: 34,290
Hunter and I were the first in Line at Gate E. We let our out-of-town guest Zack Hample go in front of us because that's the right thing to do. We figured we'd beat him to the pavilion anyway because of his ankle boot but he made it there first.
I snagged two balls on the fly today and was first to touch a toss-up that I handed to the intended recipient. Hunter managed to snag one toss-up.
Zack snagged his 400th ball of the season within just a few minutes.
Here's a few game shots.
Crazy Scoreboard.
Tulo gett'n his rub on.
Nettie, Zack and Danny.
Remember folks, when at a baseball game "Just Say No" to the Wave.
Marianne, Hunter and I watched from the front row of the pavilion and listened to two drunk Rockies fans heckle Tony Gwynn for most of the game. Tony didn't respond at all until the 9th inning. Here's video of Tony finally acknowledging the hecklers.
Shortly after Tony made a stellar flying leap to catch a bases loaded hit from Charlie Blackmon to the left field to end the game. Tony stood up, looked at the hecklers, smiled an "In your face" smile and headed off the field…Classy.
Below is a link to video of Tony's catch:
Rockies lose Game 3 to the Dodgers with a final score of 11-7.
In the end Tony got his and I gained some respect for a Dodger despite a Rockies loss…"D"

That was one of the funniest things I ever saw a player do!!! Very Funny.
Hey D,
Tony Gwynn jr is a class act. Those hecklers were merciless and he realy handled the situation well. Nice getting to meet Zack Hample, cool guy for sure.
Look forward to seeing you at another game and that pix of Gonzalez is unbelievable, you always get the best shots.
That scoreboard pic is awesome.
Classless act by drunk retarded Rockie fans with no athletic talent. I bet these fans would give alot to be a ML baseball player. Tony you are truly a clas act.

New snowboard features at Mount La Crosse honor AJ Petras
New snowboarding features at Mount La Crosse are honoring a young man shot and killed in downtown La Crosse.
The terrain park additions are in honor of 19-year-old AJ Petras, who was an avid snowboarder.
Petras and his father Paul were shot to death at Mays Photo in downtown La Crosse in September.
Now the Petras family is honoring AJ by using money raised in a memorial fund to put in six new snowboarding features in the terrain park.
Skiers and snowboarders were already out trying two of the features, the rest will be installed in the coming weeks.
Mount La Crosse staff say AJ loved to snowboard and was a regular at the hill.
"The family just wanted to do something that would make AJ Petras happy and I agree he would have loved all this, and we're happy to get everything in and excited for the family to come out and see what they've done," said Mount La Crosse Marketing Director Darcie Breidel.
One of AJ's friends, who works at Mount La Crosse , also lost his sister last year in a shooting.
Tim Hougom hopes the memorial helps remind people to be thankful for every moment.
"I hope people appreciate the gift of life and get inspired to ride a lot more," Hougom said. "A lot of my friends are also AJ's friends and they took it pretty hard. I hope it's motivation for them to ride a lot more."
Jeffrey Lepsch, the man charged with the Petras murders, is scheduled to go on trial in May.

New leadership emerges for House Democrats
Willem Jewett
The voluntary departure of House Majority Leader Lucy Leriche has prompted a shake up of the 96-member Democratic caucus leadership team.
Rep. Willem Jewett, who spent the last two years as Leriche's deputy, won unanimous election to the top post in the caucus Saturday. In a victory speech, the five-term Ripton Democrat reflected on party successes over the past decade.
"When I joined this caucus it was strong, but we were 69 strong," Jewett said. "I like rearranging those numbers a little bit."
Jewett said that voters have rewarded Democrats' allegiance to Vermont values, and that the caucus over the next two years will be remembered less for what legislation it passes and more for how it conducts itself.
"How we do our work is perhaps more important than exactly what we do," Jewett said. "What exact bills we pass, they're going to matter less than how we conduct ourselves."
Saturday's caucus featured a rare contested race for assistant majority leader between Tess Taylor of Barre City and Rebecca Ellis of Waterbury.
Also known as the "whip," the assistant majority leader is often responsible for finding out where members stand on various pieces of legislation, and perhaps compelling them to rethink their stance.
The vote featured an interesting debate over whether to accept the proxy votes sent by seven House Democrats who were unable to attend Saturday's caucus. Rep. Mitzi Johnson of Grand Isle said "the essence of the body and the power of the institution is in the ability to exchange ideas."
"I know that my mind has been changed more than once, even when I didn't intend for it to be, by listening to nominating speeches or floor debate," said Johnson, who opposed accepting the seven proxy votes.
Rep. Michel Consejo, of Sheldon, said that after an election cycle in which they pleaded with voters to cast a ballot any which way they could, it would be hypocritical for Democrats to disenfranchise fellow members unable to make to Montpelier on a Saturday.
"I find it puzzling that we would have been encouraging people to vote in any way, shape or form we can think of ... and when it comes to us somehow that doesn't work," he said.
The caucus voted narrowly to accept the proxy ballots, which in the end had no effect on the outcome. Taylor won the contest, 49-37.
Taylor said last week that as House Democrats grow their ranks, they need to make sure individuals can find their own voice without devolving into chaos.
"We've grown so much in numbers and everybody that comes in has really a lot to offer," Taylor said. "But it's a lot to work with such a big body and make sure we are really clear about what our goals are and what we can accomplish in 16 to 18 weeks."
Kate Webb of Shelburne was elected to serve as deputy assistant majority leader, a job in which she'll be responsible largely for communications and drafting talking points.
Ellis will serve as the caucus' clerk.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryAs Rutland prepares to welcome Syrian refugees to its community, some are continuing to voice... Full Story

Planning ahead is the first step to a calmer and more assured disaster response. Determine what kinds of natural and man-made disasters and emergencies could occur in your community. Make a list of them, then discuss each one and what you should do as a group in each situation. For each type of emergency, establish responsibilities for each member of your household and plan to work together as a team. Because some family members might not be at home at the time of an emergency, designate alternates in case someone is absent.
Be sure everyone in the family can recognize the different sounds made by smoke, heat, and motion detectors, burglar alarms, fire alarms, and community sirens and warning signals, and know what to do when they hear them.
Discuss what to do if evacuation from your house is necessary. Be sure everyone in the family knows that in that case, they must not hesitate, but must get out as soon as possible and after they are outside someone should call for help. Agree on an outdoor meeting place for the family, such as a particular neighbor's front porch.
Be sure everyone in the family knows how to call 911 (if your community has that service) and other local emergency numbers; and how to call on different kinds of phones, such as cell phones. Gather and post other emergency numbers, such poison control, the family doctor, a neighbor and an out-of-town person who are your family's emergency contacts, a parent's work number and cell number, etc. Post all emergency numbers near every telephone in the house and make copies for everyone to carry with them.
Because emergency responders will need an address or directions on where to send help, be sure all family members know how to describe where they can be found. Post your address near each telephone in the house. When dealing with the stress of an emergency, even adult family members could fail to recall details correctly.
Plan an out-of-town evacuation route and an out-of-town meeting point, in the event all family members aren't together at the same time to evacuate. The meeting point might be the home of a family member in another city or a hotel or landmark known to all family members.
Practice evacuating your home twice a year. Drive your planned evacuation route and plot alternate routes on a map in case the chosen roads are impassable or grid-locked.
Practice earthquake, tornado, and fire drills at home, work, and school periodically.
Be sure all family adults and older children know that in case of emergency, it is their responsibility to keep the family together, to remain calm, and explain to younger family members what has happened and what is likely to happen next.

The woman hit by a car earlier this week in La Crosse has passed away.
Police say Yvonne Boehme, 51, was crossing West Avenue near State Street outside of the crosswalk early Monday morning when a car hit her.
She was taken to Gundersen Lutheran. A spokesperson for the hospital told News 8 early Friday morning that Boehme had passed away.
La Crosse Police Sgt. Rank says the driver, a 39-year-old man from La Crosse, was going southbound on West Avenue while Boehme was going westbound, trying to cross West Avenue. Police said the driver was not cited at this time.
News 8 first introduced you to Yvonne Boehme, a woman struggling with homelessness, two weeks ago.
Her story of struggle touched many people in our community, especially after she was struck by a car while crossing the street earlier this week.
Those who know her describe her as someone who has had a rough past, but always stays positive about life, and that attitude had a great impact on one of our viewers.
It was a story that made a mark on Sue LaCoste's heart.
"Every night since I'd seen that segment, I lay down and I think about her and I wonder if she's cold," said LaCoste. "It's just sad."
The story was about Yvonne Boheme who was homeless and waiting on the steps of the Warming Center, this past November, at the First Baptist Church in La Crosse.
Just about every day she waited, Sometimes even 12 hours before the doors opened.
"Gotta wait in line," Boehme said back in November. "They only accept 15 people."
"I was looking in her eyes on TV and it's just that image," said LaCoste. "It's just stuck there with me."
After LaCoste saw the story, she knew she had to do something. So she contacted News 8 for help.
"I get a bonus from work every year and I decided I'm going to share my bonus with her," said LaCoste.
LaCoste was in the process of contacting the Warming Center.
Boheme was a guest there just this past weekend.
"It's just hard to even fathom," said Mary Fitzpatrick, director of the Warming Center. "The last time I saw her, she was sitting in that chair and she was just smiling and just glad to be here."
Fitzpatrick said when Boheme left Monday morning, she was likely on her way to the Salvation Army for breakfast.
That's when a car struck her while she was crossing the street.
Boehme was taken to Gundersen Lutheran where she still remains.
"The volunteers and everyone at Catholic Charities is devastated, and we're keeping her family, her and the other guests who loved her, in our prayers."
And it's the same prayer LaCoste has for Boehme, a stranger in need of help.

Based on the 1911 classic novel "Peter Pan," by James Barrie, the production adheres closely to the original story. Wings program director Andy Hauty, who co-wrote the script along with Shelley Park, said, "It's an unusual novel. None of the other plays and movies are really based on the actual book." Hauty gave examples of scenes where the father is "literally in the dog house," and when Wendy is a grown-up mother, Peter is "sort of freaked out because she's grown old."
Hauty said that writing their own script allowed them to make modifications to fit their needs as well as follow the original story more accurately. He said, "We took most of the text right out of the book. It's out of copyright, so we could do that. We took most of the dialogue that we wanted to use and then modified it."
Some of the modifications included adding another sister to the Darling family, and splitting Tinkerbell's character into two characters, "Tink" and "Bell."
A major part of the production is the incorporation of fabrics, or aerial silks, throughout the performance. Jobi Dan'Sy, a foreign language teacher at Twin Valley Middle and High schools, has been providing instruction to students in fabric arts since January. She said that part of the reason they chose to perform "Never Land" was to incorporate the use of fabrics. Dan'sy said, "We have a really talented group of kids. I sort of fast-tracked some of them so they could do a more exciting performance." She added, "But safety always comes first."
In all, there will be 15 fabric performers plus additional fabric performances from Peter Pan and the four Darling family members. Throughout the musical, the students will perform aerial acrobatics while suspended from the fabric. After they climb up, they wrap the fabric around themselves and then suspend, fall, and spiral their bodies into and out of various positions.
Devin Green, who plays John and has a scene in which he spins dizzily, said, "You just have to look at your hand. If you don't, it's really hard."
Regarding the large number of students performing in "Never Land," Hauty said that he and other organizers were stunned to discover how many students wanted to participate in the production. He said that around 30 students were anticipated, and it was surprising when the number climbed to 60 students. "It's an indication of how many people are interested," he said.
Hauty said, "The idea I'm interested in is to have a performing arts initiative in the valley. People can go to Brattleboro or Greenfield, but it hasn't really grown here to do that. This would be a centralized location." Hauty said that the Memorial Hall board of directors is also excited to provide a venue for a performing arts initiative.
Although Hauty and other organizers are responsible for putting together the "Never Land" production, the original idea for a large collaborative arts project started with Windham Southwest Supervisory Union Superintendent Jack Rizzo. Hauty said, "He was interested in having performances throughout the district, and he loves musicals. He was really excited to be having a musical."
Possibly as a bittersweet ending to Rizzo's responsibilities as the WSSU superintendent, the musical production is complete after its start nearly one year ago. Rizzo tendered his resignation as superintendent last month, and may, or may not, be available to see the actual performance. Hauty said, "We're trying to get him to stay until Friday. But if he can't, he said that he will make the dress rehearsal."
Show times for "Never Land" are Friday and Saturday at 6:30 pm, and Sunday at 5 pm. Tickets are $5 at the door, and anybody who is over 62 or under 5 (and believes in fairies) gets in free.

People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct & true thats how they define 'reality.'
But what does it mean to be 'correct' or 'true' merely vague concepts.... their 'reality' may all be a mirage.
Can we consider them simply believing in their own world shaped by their beliefs. Itachi
There probably isn't any meaning in life. Perhaps you can find something interesting to do while you are alive. orochimaru
And my dream is to be the greatest Hokage! That way, people will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody. Someone important!

I will never give up ! that my ninja way ! :D
Those who do not understand true pain can never understand true peace. -Nagato
We are but men, drawn to act in the name of revenge we deem to be "justice". But when we call our vengeance "justice", it only breeds more revenge ... forging the first link in the chains of hatred. -Nagato
You think you're the only ones who matter. You think you can put off death. But that peace made you foolish and thoughtless. If you kill someone, someone else will kill you... this hatred binds us together. -Nagato
But someday I'll break the curse. If there's such a thing as peace, I will find it! -Nagato
We need more Zetsu!
Black side: "Idiot, it's not that simple." White side: "It'll be all right. Tobi is a good boy."
White side: "When you're sad and alone ..." Black side: "... all you can count on is yourself."
Black side: "The Five Kage are a bunch of fools!"
Black side: "An expert with a pebble can still beat a novice with a shuriken".
White side: "Ahahaha an octopus leg!" Black side: "its not funny!"
Just copied from Narutopedia. O=
I think now you understand a little pain....but mine is even more greater than this.....!!! [Pain]
'Be-Because i love you Naruto-Kun!' Hinata.

text: My dd has changed quite a bit this week. She usually goes through 15-18 oz of bm during the day at dc & has some veggie & fruit. Then in the evenings she will nurse about every 2 hours and during the night she would normally nurse around 11, 2, 4, 5 and then 6:15 right before we leave. This past week she has been going throuh 9-12 oz of bm during day, still nurses about every 2 hours in evening (we nurse on demand) and then at night she only wakes up once around 2 and then when my alarm goes off around 5:30 (we co-sleep). I am by no means complaining about getting more sleep but I am concerned because of the drastic slow down. I am still pumping the same amount sometimes a little more. I know my dc says that she is wanting to eat more of her solids now. Can she actually still be getting the same amount of bm in less feedings? Just a little concerned! She will be 9 mo on Sat. How much bm should she be having in a 24 hour period? She seems to be excelling well.

Stocks Sing as U.S. Economic Data Strengthen
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock markets closed near session highs Tuesday as better-than-expected new home sales and encouraging data on durable-goods orders bolstered the outlook for recovery in the world's largest economy.
The S&P 500 rose 0.95% to 1,588.03 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 0.69% to 14,760.31. The Nasdaq tacked on 0.82% to 3,347.89.
Stocks posted a strong trading session Tuesday, a day after tumbling on mixed messages from Federal Reserve presidents about when the central bank should taper its monetary stimulus programs. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note on Tuesday fell 17/32, boosting the yield to 2.606%. Treasury yields have witnessed a rapid increase since May, while stocks have struggled to push into positive territory.
"There's a fundamental problem here that the markets are wrestling with, and I think that's why you're seeing the divergence for today at least in the equity markets and the interest rates, we don't actually have price discovery in the interest rate market," said Brad McMillan, chief investment officer for Commonwealth Financial. "Everyone is struggling with 'well, OK, what should prices really be?'"
New home sales rose 2.1% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 476,000 in May, after an upwardly-revised April annual rate of 466,000, according to data compiled by the Census Bureau. The report exceeded the average economist expectation of an increase to 462,000.
Homebuilder stocks were further aided by homebuilder Lennar
The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index showed a stronger than expected year-over-year gain of 12.1% in April after an increase of 10.9% in March, driven by a broad-based recovery in home prices across the nation. A rise of 10.6% for April was expected. On a month-to-month basis, the composite showed an increase of 2.5%, the highest monthly gain in the history of S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency House Price Index also showed a gain, up 0.7% in April after an upwardly-revised increase of 1.5% in March.
The Census Bureau reported that durable-goods orders increased 3.6% in May after rising by an upwardly-revised 3.6% in April. Durable-goods orders excluding the transportation component rose 0.7% after gaining by an upwardly-revised 1.7%. Economists, on average, were expecting a durable-goods orders increase of 3% in May and predicted an unchanged core orders figure.
Meanwhile the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, which had improved in May, increased again in June. The Index now stands at 81.4, up from 74.3 in May. Economists were expecting a decline to 75.4.

The city had received bids from Cummings Paving and Recycling, LLC, and also J. Carroll Weaver, Inc., for the task of reconstruction and rehabilitation of damaged and worn city streets in need of repair.
After careful review of the bid proposals, the council approved the bid from J. Carroll Weaver, Inc. The bid total from Weaver had the cost of the street repairs at $108,116.
Streets that are targeted for repairs this year are Elwood Street, Hopkins Street, Merchants Alley, Rubie Street, Terrell Street, and Yoakum Street..
"The money is going to go further; we're going to get more streets done," said Mayor Brent Houdmann of the council's decision to choose the Weaver bid. "They sounded very knowledgeable. We have so much traffic due to the oil business now, especially on Elwood Street. We have so much traffic from the big 18-wheelers."
City officials said that now that a bid has been approved, a start date for the repairs will soon be decided.
Also at the meeting, the council approved the resignation of council member Clarence Crawford. Crawford resigned on good terms with the city, citing increased work and career obligations and time schedule issues.
"I appreciate everything he did," said Houdmann of Crawford after the meeting. "I know Clarence and he did great things for the city. There are times you have to make certain choices for your family, but we appreciate everything he did here."
Houdmann stated that it is possible for the city to approve of a capable volunteer to fill the unexpired term of Crawford's vacated seat.

Me and my family spent one week in this apartment and we had a great time there. It is very well located, with stores nearby where you can get everything you need in case you don´t want to spend so much money eating outside. The rooms are big and confortable and the people who manage the apartments always willing to help or provide anything you need. We will never forget our stay there. Thanks very much!! María
We enjoyed our stay in cracow very much!! Th city ia really great and tanks to the apartement we could really enjoy it. The place was perfect for five people. Very big bathroom and it`s location is perfect. It is next to the big market place where all the sightseeing must sees are located! So we can really recommand this apartment!
El apartamento se encuentra en una situación muy centrica y cerca de todo. Estaba todo muy limpio. La calefacción y el agua caliente muy bien. Necesitamos una serie de utensilios y nos lo facilitaron rapidamente. Lo recomiendo.
Die Stadt Krakau ist sehr schön und auf jeden Fall eine Reise wert. Die Unterkunft ist sehr geräumig und wirkt dadurch kühl und ungemütlich. Die Sauberkeit ist in Ordnung und in der Nacht ist es, trotz der zentralen Lage, recht ruhig.
Unbedingt daran denken, dass Parkplätze zwar vorhanden sind aber nicht direkt zur Wohnung gehören. Es muss also Gebührenpflichtig( in der Zeit von 10.00 - 20.00 Uhr) geparkt werden.
Die Betten sind sehr bequem und es schläft sich darin gut.

Upon Arrival we have been changed to another appartment, but with the same facilities and also close to the city centre. I was big enough and clean with all the facilities we need. The location was great and we didn't have any Problems.
Highly recommended. It's agency with many apartments, very professional and resourceful. Upon arrival we were informed that our apartment had been damaged and were moved to a larger one. Change without paying more. Upon arrival we saw that the TV did not have USB and changed us for another very fast. I recommend it without any doubt, very friendly and professional. They have in the office with a person who speaks Spanish, not met but is very useful.
Right in the centre of town. Easy walk to everything. Big apartment. We (me, wife and 18 year old son) were very comfortable. We parked our hire car out of town for 3 days then caught a tram back to the apartment.
Perfect location in old town, 10 minute walk from train station, five minute walk to main square on quieter street. Spacious and clean apartment. Small balcony overlooking green, peaceful courtyard. P&J office two blocks away, staff very friendly and helpful, allowed us to store luggage both before check-in and after check-out. Only positive comments.
The apartment was handled by a bureau with a small office close by. We used the airport-apartment transfer provided by the bureau. This was quite convenient.
The apartment was large but with lot of empty furniture. The apartment was very central in the city 2 min from the central square.
There was no washing tablets for the dishwaher and only little toiletpaper. They gave us more paper in the office and listened to us. The wifi worked fine.
The appartment is located in a very good place because
Is into the old city and near the old square. The problem
With this appartment is the four large floors that we must
Climbed by foot with our bagages and the kitchen has no
Windows and there aré no living room.
