March 14, 2012 —
The Sullivan Renaissance Annual Conference & Expo was held at the CVI Building on March 10 and unofficially kicked off the gardening and beautification season.
The new Sullivan County Legislative Chairman Scott Samuelson started the program with an a cappella rendition of America the Beautiful. Can he sing? Senator John Bonacic thought so, and said Samuelson was in the wrong business, meaning he should be a professional singer.
Bonacic also acknowledged that we're still living with the effects of the great recession, but he predicted that this would be a breakout decade for the county in terms of tourism, and he credited Sullivan Renaissance and Bethel Woods Center for the Arts with laying the foundation for that success.
New for this year, the organization unveiled The Renaissance Collection, which it describes as a "unique collection of annuals and perennials that have an exceptional ability to meet the challenges of gardening within Sullivan County."
Also new, at the end of the season, the public will be invited on a tour of the winning gardens and projects that compete in the Sullivan Renaissance contest. The tour is scheduled for September 8.
The keynote speaker was Joe Lamp'l, who has become a rather famous gardening expert through various television shows, including Growing a Greener World, which mixes traditional gardening with the exploration of practices that are good for the environment. His presentation included a discussion of several people and organizations who have found unique ways to make a living through organic gardening.

Dutch design is based on ideas. The ugliness of the shoe is completely beside the point.
I just skimmed the article and passed right over this. I guess 'idiots' was a bit out of line.The shoes are a collaboration between artist Leanie van der Vyver and Dutch shoe designer René van den Berg, and serve as a commentary on today's impossible standards of beauty.
My apologies to Leanie and René.
I don't have any complains but only the idiots wear them.
^ Him work the fuck out of those heels.
Eternal youth and endless life. I'll sacrifice everything and everyone to obtain it
Gaga will wear them if they are made out of meat.
FPNYAnnoying JUBBERS since 2003
Those are some fugly shoes, imagine the annoying footstep noises it will make.
It's only idiotic as women can use them to hurt us men. The design itself is great.

When Hillary Clinton played a card game, why was she such a terrible bridge player? Because she couldn't make her contract of One NO TRUMP.
^How very dare you sir, I'll have you know The Powerpuff Girls is some of the finest TV ever made, and look! There's a gay villain on it who's equal parts masculine and feminine - and he could give two fucks about peoples' opinions.
In short, He's my hero.

one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Can't say I particularly favour them, ahem..

One question... why only MS featured albums? Weren't there any that aren't feartured here worth mentioning?
Written by Jason W. on 16.12.2009 at 04:01
Lots of complex releases here
Written by Jason W. on 16.12.2009 at 04:01
I know lots on MS like the latest Kreator disc, but I just can't see it being better than say... Unexpect's album, which you have just 2 down from it
Written by Jason W. on 16.12.2009 at 04:01
I'm curious why you like your #1 so much, is there something personal related to the album as well? Its progression from the previous disc? I'm curious also because I checked your ratings (10s) and noticed it must have increased for "Gloria" since your initial review here on MS. And also because you have Enslaved's "Vertebrae" at a 10 as well, but it's much lower in your list

"Gloria" defo deserves to be on the list, but number 1??? Gotta love "Textures" and "Lurking Fear" though. I quite like your taste usually, so I'm gonna check out some albums on your list (=
Don't really like iced earth though other than "Something Wicked"

Getting cell phone reception and seeing land was a reminder that we were going back to our normal, ordinary lives. As we pulled into port, I just wanted to go back to sea. Being on the ocean was more fun and a different way of living. Helen felt the same way.
For such a large vessel, the Atlantis was unpacked surprisingly quickly. All the scientists packed up their supplies and put samples in coolers of dry ice to be shipped to lab. Everything was placed on a rack, which a crane picked up and moved off ship. Then we did a final cleaning of tables and sweeping of floors, ate lunch, said goodbyes, and were off to the airport.
I couldn't be happier with the trip. It was an eye opening, once in a lifetime experience of which I'm so thankful I got to be a part. Oceanography is a vast field, and I only experienced a small part of it, but even that small part was detailed and interesting. I was amazed by how much people knew about each particular species of coral or tubeworm or brittle star brought up from the secluded world of the seafloor. I was also impressed with the people on the cruise. Everyone was friendly and eager to explain his or her field of study to me. I could definitely see myself continuing with oceanography.
I would like to thank chief scientist Chuck Fisher for allowing me to go on the cruise, and the KINSC for sponsoring my trip. And, of course, I couldn't thank my wonderful professor Helen White enough for offering me the opportunity to accompany her on the cruise and for teaching me what it is like to be an oceanographer.

By Freedom Newspapers
Former Vice President Al Gore returned to Washington on Wednesday to whip up global warming hysteria, calling on Congress to cut greenhouse gases 90 percent by 2050 and impose new taxes on carbon emissions.
"I know the phrase sounds shrill," was Gore's own understated assessment of his testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Shrill indeed.
Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, observed that Gore's proposed remedy would "provide little benefit at a huge cost," particularly to states producing and burning coal. Gore's plan also would ban all new coal-burning power plants.
Members of Congress, however, didn't have to wait long to hear a quite different story. "It's not worth going down the road Al Gore suggests," testified Bjorn Lomborg, Danish author of "The Skeptical Environmentalist" and a noted environmentalist who became a global warming critic.
While Gore predicted sea levels would rise 20 feet in the next century, Lomborg noted the U.N.'s climate change panel predicts the increase will be merely one foot. While Gore suggests many people will die from increasing temperatures, Lomborg countered that many more will be spared deaths from cold weather.
Lomborg put the issue in perspective. During the past 100 years, sea levels rose one foot. Yet, assessing the 20th century's most momentous events, most people would list world wars, the internal combustion engine, the Internet and harnessing the atom — but not the one-foot increase in sea level. Why should it rise to the top of the list for the coming century?
The so-called global warming crisis is predicated on uncertain, changing science that even over the past decade has predicted dramatically differing outcomes. From that shaky foundation, alarmists draw questionable inferences and predict
unverifiable possibilities. Based on that dubious foundation, alarmists urge more regulations and taxes.
The "evidence" itself is questionable regarding the human contribution to climate change. Studies show that rather than higher atmospheric carbon dioxide levels preceding temperature increases, temperature increases precede higher CO2 levels, raising the question of which causes which.
Global warming alarmists claim a scientific consensus. Even if the Earth is experiencing notable climate change, less than 2 percent of 11,000 climate studies dealing with global warming endorsed the alleged consensus view that humans cause the warming, according to a 2004 survey in Science Magazine.
Global warming fervor moved California Treasurer Bill Lockyer this week to join a
coalition of investors calling on Washington to curb emissions and "help investors and businesses better understand the risks and opportunities
presented by climate change."
Government wields massive power to regulate industry, impose tax penalties and redirect public investments. Draconian acts are onerous enough without basing them on faddish notions. Even if temperatures rose by 1 or 2 degrees over the next century, as some predict, it probably means what it meant when the world was much warmer: longer growing seasons in places such as Montana and Connecticut.

Thanks to all my readers for helping me get back into the Latest Leaders List at number 45! In keeping with the tradition started by Jimmy at Baseball, The Yankees, and Life.. I am dedicating this entry to one of my very favorite Phillies. With no more than a moment's thought, I knew it would be Tug McGraw.
Frank Edwin McGraw, Jr. was born August 30, 1944 in Martinez, California. He was christened with the nickname Tug as a child, supposedly by his mother for his aggressive style of breast-feeding (seriously, this is what the book Phillies Essential says!). He was signed in 1964 as an amateur free agent by the New York Mets.
Tug pitched for the Mets from 1965 to 1974. In December of 1974, he was traded, along with Don Hahn and Dave Schneck, to the Phillies, in exchange for Del Unser, John Stearns, and Mac Scarce. He pitched for the Phillies from 1975 through 1984. Twice in his career he was named to the All-Star team, in 1972 and 1975.
With the Phillies, Tug had a record of 49-37, with 94 saves and an ERA of 3.10. His overall career record was 96-92, with 180 saves and an ERA of 3.14.
Tug made the postseason twice with the Mets (1969 and 1973), and he coined the phrase "Ya Gotta Believe" while with the '73 Mets. He made the postseason four times with the Phillies (1976, 1977, 1978, 1980), and of course clinched the final game of the 1980 Series for the Phillies.
This is the image of McGraw that is forever etched into the minds of Phillies fans, after he struck out Kansas City's Willie Wilson for the final out of the 1980 World Series:
Tug was also well-known for his colorful quotes and fun-loving antics. When asked if he preferred artificial turf to natural grass, he replied "I don't know. I never smoked AstroTurf." On another occasion, he asked Phils starter Larry Christenson if he was pitching that day. When Christenson replied that he was, Tug said, "Then, so am I."
On St. Patrick's Day, the Phillies wear not just green caps for their spring training game, but green uniforms. Blame McGraw for this tradition, who appeared at a spring training game on St. Patrick's day wearing a uniform that had been dyed green.
Tug also named his pitches. His fastball was "John Jameson", because "I like my Irish Whiskey hard and straight." His change-up was "Peggy Lee", because a hitter would swing and say, "Is that all there is?" [this is the title of a song by the singer Peggy Lee, for you young'uns out there] His sinker was the "Titanic", the "Bo Derek" "had a nice little tail on it", the "Cutty Sark" sailed, and a ball hit for a home run was the "Sinatra ball", symbolic of the song "Fly Me To The Moon."
Following his retirement from the game, Tug became a sportscaster, and wrote a children's book. He would also attend Phillies spring training as a special instructor. In 2002, I was fortunate enough to be at spring training, and witnessed the way Tug enjoyed interacting and joking with the fans. In this photo, someone has handed Tug a baseball card to sign, though it is from his Mets days. He showed the fans, and jokingly asked if he should sign it or not (he did).
During this same spring training, Tug signed the only thing I had with me, a nasty old batting practice ball I had managed to get. Tug almost always signed his name with a little smiley-face next to it (though this one only seems to have one eye):
Yep, he's left his mark for posterity between Marlon Anderson and an upside-down Doug Glanville.
Tug was again in the Phillies' training camp the next spring, 2003, when he unexpectedly became ill, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which turned out to be malignant. At the time, he was only given a few weeks to live, but he fought his disease and was able to appear at the final game at Veterans Stadium on September 28, to re-enact his most memorable moment. Tug lost his battle with cancer on January 5, 2004.
Prior to his death, Tug established The Tug McGraw Foundation, to raise funds to enhance the quality of life of children and adults with brain tumors and their families.
On October 25, 2008, Tug's son Tim McGraw spread some of his father's ashes on the pitcher's mound at Citizen's Bank Park, prior to Game 3 of the World Series.
One of Tim McGraw's biggest hits is "Live Like You Were Dying". Towards the end of the song is a little clip of Tug's final out of that 1980 series.

Great dedication – but to post the video – you need to put your blog into htlm mode before you copy in the embedding code. If you have any questions, just send me an email! It was very touching when Tim spread some of his dad's ashes on the pitcher's mound.
Sue – what an amazing song. It has such a powerful message and the clip of his dad? Brought tears to my eyes!
Sue, I can't remember if I put this in the book, so forgive me if I'm repeating myself. When I worked in book publishing before becoming a writer, I had the privilege of promoting Tug's book. He took a few days off from the Phillies to make media appearances, and I was his escort. What a guy. So friendly. So upbeat. Such a pleasure to be around. I almost fainted when I dropped him off at the team bus and he introduced me to Mike Schmidt. Thanks for sharing your memories of him.
Congratulations! Great choice!
I'm getting caught up today and enjoyed the post on Pac Bell/SBC/AT&T park. I have a trip booked there in May to see a Giants-Cardinals series. I can't wait!
nice post, check out my entry on the number 39… it's not as meaningful… in fact it has no meaning at all… but it's entertaining… at least I think so.
OMG, that song chokes me up everytime I hear it! I miss Tug :O( Great job on the post!
Julia – I had never actually seen the video before, and it brought tears to my eyes, too.
Jane – what a cool story! (and no, it wasn't in the book, so you weren't repeating yourself)
Kathy – Thanks! And I'm sure you will enjoy your visit to S.F., it's a beautiful ballpark and a great city!
Jonnnnnn – Thank you! I'll stop by to check out #39.
Jenn – Thanks! Tug was a true character. I'm sure all Phillies fans miss him.
Belated congrats on you getting back into the fan blogs leaders list.

Procrastination Station #95Friday, October 28th, 2011
A long overdue Procrastination Station! It's nearly the weekend, guys! Enjoy…
I'll be doing an official post on this soon, but I launched an editorial and manuscript service for creative writers. If you need help with your work, drop me a line!
"Starry Rhymes is a loving testament to the work of an undeniably important poet. This shows in the care with which the chapbook has been conceived and collated."
HUGE thanks to Chris Emslie for this lovely review of Starry Rhymes (< - click to buy a copy!). He also talks a bit about how the chapbook helped further his reading of Ginsberg here. What a legend!
I loved hearing that Chinua Achebe had kicked 50 Cent's ass. Nice!
I'm also super-happy that the excellent William Letford is getting so much attention. He's the new Edwin Morgan, I tell you.
Stephen Nelson finds poems in moss.
"When somebody says that they're going to read me a poem, I can think of any number of things that I'd rather be doing." Oh don't say that, Tom Waits!
A list of indie bookstores in Scotland… road trip, anyone?
There is no such thing as a popular poet, says Todd Swift. Black Ocean Press beg to differ!
"Ebooks: I hate them. It's like making believe there's another kind of sex. There isn't another kind of sex. There isn't another kind of book! A book is a book is a book." Maurice Sendak gets a bit ruffled about things.
Literature's greatest assholes.
"A student said to me yesterday, "I didn't know professors could have long hair." I said, "They can. If you do something well, people won't bother you. That's true in all professions. If you are the one guy who can fix the computers, you can keep a boa constrictor in your office. No one will say a thing." His eyes flashed. Possibly he "went over to the dark side"… or something. I felt happy for 11 seconds." Sean Lovelace voices some random thoughts about teaching creative writing.
Please help support Alyss, one of my former students, in her bid to make a documentary on freedom and Generation Y!
I loved Katja's idea — taking a photo once an hour for a full day? So cool!
Great poem on Verbatim today… reminded me a little of Allen Ginsberg, funnily enough!
This is incredibly freakin' cool.
I just discovered the cool quirky t-shirts at Buy Olympia. Love!
Bear + Shakespeare + LOLcats font = magic. (More silliness from the past few weeks at my Tumblr!)
Have a great weekend!

Public apathy about hurricanes gets worse each year, he says.
Because Beeville is inland, it's easy to think it is out of harm's way.
But at its closest point, the Gulf of Mexico is 57 miles away – a distance easily negated by the size of substantial hurricanes.
"I need to do my part in keeping people aware of the potential for a hurricane to occur," he says. "We don't need a storm out in the Gulf before people start being prepared,"
Bridge is adamant that Beeville residents should:
•Pick up a copy of an annual hurricane preparedness booklet published by Corpus Christi television station KIII, available at numerous locations including his office and at Walmart.
"I will give one of those to anyone who will hold still long enough," he says. "It is very informative."
•Go online to register with Blackboard Connect – a mass notification system – to receive phone calls and text messages in the event of an emergency, such as the approach of a hurricane.
•People with special needs should register with 211 so they can be evacuated in the case of an emergency – such as the approach of a hurricane. "It's easy to do," he says. "Just dial 211 and follow the instructions – and they're available in both English and Spanish."
Since he took over the job of Bee County emergency management coordinator last October, he has resurrected the inactive Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) — consisting of about 15 representatives from industry, law enforcement, fire department, ambulance and amateur radio operators – charged with formulating plans for any emergency ranging from hazardous spills to hurricanes.
State regulations specify the LEPC must meet every quarter; the local LEPC meets monthly.
July's meeting was to include a tour of the Pioneer facility in Pawnee.
Bridge says his Emergency Operations Center is as ready as it can be for a hurricane.
The building, the Bee County Justice Center, Bridge says, has a safe room that is rated to withstand the winds of a Category 4 storm.
In the event of a storm, County Judge David Silva would activate the EOC, gathering around him the Beeville mayor, the city manager, finance and tax office personnel and Bridge who, in an emergency, represents both the county and the city.
"What is important is that we are not taking lightly the idea of a hurricane," he says.
Bridge describes Beeville as a "pass-through" community, meaning those evacuating the coast do not use the city as a destination. Hence, the shelter facilities here are limited.
"We have identified three facilities we could use, and we are working on two more," he says. "But they are to be used only in a case of emergency, such as a hurricane or a tornado. I don't want Beeville citizens to think they can go there as a storm approaches because they will be taken care of. That's not what these shelters are for."
Bridge says the shelters would be used if a tornado left five or six families homeless. "Then we would activate them so they would have someplace to go, but not until then."
He has visited numerous facilities to review their emergency plans, including Christus Spohn Hospital.
Those plans not only deal with a hurricane but other hazards as well.
At the EOC, "we don't have a hurricane plan. We don't have a tornado plan. We don't have a flood plan. It is general enough to be able to apply it to a variety of situations," he says.
Bridge stresses the need for people to sign up to Blackboard Connect. A link is available on the county's website.
He estimates between 8,000 and 9,000 Beeville residents have registered. "I want to double that. I can't get enough people to sign up," he says.
Acknowledging that cellphone and Internet connections are fragile during hurricane-force winds, the EOC can rely on amateur radio operators to send and receive email.
The ability to send text is vital, Bridge says, because any request from a city or county to the state for assistance must be in written form.
His immediate need? Getting people to sign up with Blackboard Connect.
"I want to be able to reach out and touch everyone."

Approach Discs
The devastating approach disc. This is the most under-utilized disc in the sport. Most people will forego this disc not knowing what its true purpose is. Basically, an approach shot is a throw, not a putt, and it is designed more to keep you near the basket than to get in it, although the best approach is also a run at the basket.
The Difference between putt and approach -
A putt is usually just a simple flick of the wrist with little or no twisting of the torso, whereas an approach is typically thrown from the side with at least some twisting of the torso and hips. A putt is designed to move significantly slower than a throw. An approach shot, although the slowest throw in disc golf, is still not as slow moving as a putt.
The Difference Between a Putter and an Approach Disc -
First, it`s important to understand that this isn`t set in stone. Plenty of people use putters for approach shots and approach discs as putters. Heck people even use drivers as putters(not recommended). But the true purpose of a putter is for short shots, generally 200 feet or less. Sure, they can be thrown further, but not without a lot of effort, especially if you have a low ceiling.
This is why, when 200 feet gets a little hard with a putter, we can step up to an approach disc. They move a little quicker, sometimes have more glide. They`ll generally handle a shot in the 150-200 foot range a little easier, allowing you to focus on accuracy.
Why Not Just Use a Midrange?
One thing most approach discs do have in common - the ability to stop abruptly somewhere near the target. This is one reason why a midrange disc would be less ideal for these shots. Another reason is the faster speed and higher torque required to make a midrange perform also makes it less appropriate for these shorter shots.
Hint: Always keep an approach disc in your bag. It fills in the short distance deadzone between a putter and a midrange.
Disc Golf Trivia -One of the first true approach discs to hit the market in the mid 80`s was the XD, then known as the Aviar XD. At the time it was hailed as a Revolutionary new "distance" driver. As a matter of fact the "XD" initially stood for "extra distance".

Report: Apple to Produce 10 Million iPad Minis in Q4 2012

This shows that Apple has plenty of confidence in its new addition to the iPad family despite the fact that the market is already flooded with 7-inch tablets
iPad Mini
hasn't even been announced yet, but Apple is already planning to make over 10 million of them in the fourth quarter of this year.
Ten million iPad Minis is almost double the number of Amazon Kindle Fires that were made during Q4 2011 -- and the Fire was the hottest holiday item last year. This shows that Apple has plenty of confidence in its new addition to the iPad family despite the fact that the market is already flooded with 7-inch tablets.
Apple is still the big player in the tablet market with its 9.7-inch iPad, but the tech giant has noticed a new trend that is grabbing customers' attention --
smaller, cheaper tablets
Companies like Amazon, ASUS and Samsung have turned the tablet world upside down with the idea of smaller tablets that are more affordable, but also have strong features. Amazon led the pack with its 7-inch Kindle Fire tablet last year for $199. Samsung's Galaxy Tabs have 7-inch versions in the mix, and more recently, Google teamed up with ASUS for the
7-inch Nexus 7 tablet
for $199.

As if that wasn't enough, Amazon jumped back into the small tablet market with a
refreshed 7-inch Kindle Fire HD for $199
, an 8.9-inch Fire HD for $299 and a 4G LTE HD model for $499. On top of that, the e-tailer is offering a generous data package with its tablets for only $49.99 per year.
It's clear that the smaller tablet market is quite competitive, and it's what customers want. In Q2 2010, Apple had 84 percent of the worldwide tablet market share. In Q2 2012, this number dropped to 69.6 percent, further showing that competitors like Android-powered tablets are cutting in.
Of course, Apple wants a piece of that pie and is looking to hold onto its tablet dominance. Doing so means the release of an iPad Mini, which is rumored to be a 7.85-inch version of the usual 9.7-inch iPad.

Apple is expected to announce the iPad Mini later this month. Last week, Apple's Asian component suppliers
started production of the iPad Mini
, and the tech giant is looking to make about 10 million in Q4 2012 for the holiday season. However, the iPad Mini's success will be largely based on its affordability and features, which have yet to be disclosed.

Weekly Legislative Review
Editor's Note: Each week during the 81st West Virginia Legislature, The Journal is providing space and inviting comments from all members of the Eastern Panhandle's legislative delegation. The following is a sampling of the submitted comments this week from the House of Delegates and the Senate:
Del. Larry D. Kump
R-59th District
Despite the attempts by some partisans to gin up lots of hoopla about the recently concluded legislative session(s), major issues affecting the prosperity of all of us in the Mountain State sadly were allowed to lie unaddressed on the legislative table.
Even with a reconvened "special" session of the Legislature by the Governor, he mandated that the business of that session be restricted to just a scant handful of non-emergency and narrowly focused proposals, that previously failed to pass the just adjourned regular legislative session.
The prison legislation was helpful in that it expanded the drug courts, but it also failed to address the major issues of sentencing and prison overcrowding that gives West Virginia the highest rate of incarceration in the country.
The education legislation included some good stuff, but mostly nibbled around the edges of our ongoing education crisis and did not take much of a bite out of our problem of too much bureaucratic control over our local schools by the State Department of Education. It simply did not empower local school boards and parents to be more engaged on behalf of our children.
Municipal Home Rule legislation was a step forward, and it also included some important protections of our Constitutional 2nd Amendment rights. A further step forward would be to further encourage voter participation, by requiring municipal elections to be held at the same time as state and federal elections. This also would save tax dollars.
However, little progress was made in improving our judicial process and reforming our state government taxing and regulation.
We should and must stem the flight of West Virginians to other areas, as they desperately search for good jobs and prosperity for themselves and their families.
Del. Larry Faircloth
R-60th District
The final week has come and gone, and session is now out. This session has seemed to be filled with a lot of controversial bills; of which many proposed regulations on top of regulations to residents of West Virginia. One of course is the 'drugged driving' bill which seemed to draw a lot of media attention as there were intense statements to both sides of the argument on the bill. Refusing to cooperate to submit a drug test for no warrant could cost a person their license. Yet the bill never defined the 'drugs,' or the 'levels.' Who was this bill targeting? Many suspect elderly drivers; simply because so many of our seniors are on medications (that were not defined in the bill). Yet the bill made passage citing once again, 'if this saves just one life, it's worth passage.' Yet not less than 48 hours ago, the United States Supreme Court ruled that 'drugged driving' bills were, you guessed it, unconstitutional without warrant, and over-regulating to individual rights. The one thing that dismays me most about this year's session is this: Where were the jobs bills? Why didn't we address the nearly 59,000 unemployed in our state? These are questions our public needs to be asking their elected officials. After all, do we not all know somebody that has suffered the economic crash that could benefit from job creation?
Del. John Overington,
R-62nd District:
As Obamacare is being implemented on the federal level and increasing control of our health care, our state seems to be trying to expand free meals to all elementary school children with S.B. 663.
In West Virginia more than half of our students are eligible for free or reduced lunches with more than a third participating. No one wants our school children to go hungry. But, if the latest scheme is fully implemented, all children would be getting free breakfasts and lunches. With S.B. 663, this benefit would be expanded to middle and upper income children, whether they wanted to participate or not, whether they liked the food or not.
But why are we expanding this to middle and upper income folks? The March 31 Journal editorial hit the nail on the head. There is no such thing as a free lunch – it is just an illusion – someone is paying for it.
During the discussion, the focus was on providing free lunches for all students as if all parents were being neglectful in providing meals for their children. In Martinsburg we have many outstanding charitable groups providing food, generally for the asking for those in need.
During a spirited discussion on free lunches, one delegate suggested that if we went to universal free lunches, students could help earn their free lunch by performing a service and learning a lesson that there is no such thing as a "free" lunch. That led to a tirade from another delegate, as if the first delegate had been suggesting 10-year-olds be required to work in a coal mine 12 hours a day, 6 days a week.
Another delegate kept stressing in an animated voice, that this free lunch program should be available to ALL students. In other words, she was suggesting that it should not just be provided to low income students that already can get free or reduced lunches, but that it should also go to middle and upper income students.
With "free" health care, some feel we now need to expand government to free food to all students. If fully implemented, this would cover 100 percent of all students.
S.B. 663 seems to undermine the whole idea of charity, of neighbors helping neighbors, church members helping church members, with government programs replacing the spirit of people helping people and the satisfaction that comes from true giving. No one wants students to go hungry, but expanding this to middle and upper income folks is clearly the wrong way to go.
Del. Mike Folk
R-63rd District
The good, the bad, and the ugly! Some will say the session was a wonderful success, I believe it was a mixed bag.
The major bills according to news reports were Education, Justice Reinvestment and Home Rule. None were perfect bills, each had a few provisions that improved the status quo. The Education bill allows for more flexibility for hiring the best, most qualified teacher. However, the bill is laden with rulemaking authority given to the State Board, not what I would call more local control.
Justice Reinvestment is a very complex bill that, I believe, has one provision that may have a positive impact for the local area: Adult Drug Court implementation. This has been held up locally due to resistance from a select few. Hopefully, this saves dollars and reduces recidivism as projected.
Finally, Home Rule was passed with many amendments. Municipalities which are accepted will be able to control almost all law outside of Chapters of state code including Criminal Procedure, Criminal Penalties and Controlled Substances. Local Municipal gun ordinances will be preempted by the State Legislature and they will be allowed to charge up to a 1 percent sales tax if they reduce or eliminate the B & O tax.
This will allow for the possibility for major tax increases by cities, if abused. The voters in Martinsburg, if they enter the pilot program, will need to hold the City Council and Mayor accountable if they abuse the "local" control they have been given by this statute at the ballot box.
Del. Tiffany Lawrence
D-65th District
The details included passing a budget that totaled $11 billion plus, including general revenue that accounts for more than $4 billion. To sum it up, the FY 2014 budget is $151 million less than the 2010 budget, and $216 less than the 2011 budget. Other highlights included restoring 50 percent of the state funding for Primary Healthcare Centers, appropriating dollars for 21st Century Education Innovation Zones, restoring funding for Senior Services and student HISTA programs, restoring Family Resources Network program monies as originally cut by the governor and allocating $350 thousand to our State Tourism MAPP Grant program which provides marketing dollars for many of our local festivals and initiatives.
After action on the budget, the governor then placed five additional policy issues on the Special Call for which members to consider or re-consider in some cases. Of those, much discussion took place surrounding the diverse set of bills.
House Bill 103 would require a comprehensive review and report of the needs of each volunteer fire department serving in W. Va., of steps that may be taken to meet those needs and to sustain them, and of future steps that must be taken to ensure fire protection in the rural areas of our state. While the review is being conducted, the Volunteer Fire Department Workers' Compensation Subsidy Program will continue to be administered. The bill provides two sources of revenues to support the program during this study period.
Additionally, HB 105 would establish that the state Tax Commissioner has the responsibility for administering, collecting and enforcing all local sales and use taxes and excise takes imposed pursuant to the County Economic Opportunity Development District Act or Municipal Sales Tax Increment Financing.
Three other bills were presented, including SB 1003, known as the Magistrate Pay bill, HB 104, which provided a supplemental appropriation for the Attorney General's office and HB 101, which was the TIF bill. I was proud to vote for four of the five bills.
Del. Paul Espinosa
R-66th District
In many respects, the First Regular Session of the 81st Legislature ended as it began, with a considerable amount of time and energy focused on efforts to enact a pay raise for magistrates in less populous counties as well as magistrate clerks and assistants across the state. The magistrate pay raise bill ultimately died in the Senate at the end of the regular session a week ago Saturday, along with a bill the House leadership was holding as leverage that would have authorized a sales tax increment financing district in Morgantown.
Proponents of the TIF district have announced plans for a multi-million dollar development that would include construction of a stadium for use by the WVU baseball team and a minor league ball club. The TIF financing bill was one of the few job-creation bills offered during the session and enjoyed overwhelming support, so to see it held hostage by House leadership in an effort to force through a pay-raise bill was, in my opinion, unconscionable.
As a result of the failure to act on this legislation, the governor issued a call for a special legislative session to consider these two bills, SB 1003 and SB 1001 respectively, along with HB 105 that would authorize the state tax commissioner to administer sales tax collections in TIF districts and cities enacting sales taxes through the municipal home rule pilot program; SB 1005, a $17.7 million supplemental appropriation bill that was also held up by House democrats during the regular session; and HB 103, a bill related to the distribution of state funds to volunteer fire departments under the Volunteer Fire Department Workers' Compensation Subsidy Program.
The special session convened Wednesday evening with the TIF and volunteer fire department workers' compensation bills gaining speedy passage, followed by the remaining three bills Thursday morning. While I support the plan to have the National Center for State Courts study our magistrate court system and offer recommendations for ensuring equal pay for equal work, I ultimately voted against this immediate pay raise because of the host of spending cuts we've asked West Virginians to accept. I also opposed HB 105 because of concerns over the size of the fee the state would charge municipalities.
I was particularly pleased to support SB 1005 that represents the fulfillment of Attorney General Patrick Morrisey's pledge to direct settlement funds to the legislature for appropriation, reforming the practice of the previous attorney general.
Del. Stephen Skinner
D-67th District
This bill urges the Department of Highways to consider the many different forms of transportation other than cars when constructing roads in the future and establishes the "Complete Streets Advisory Board." This board would be made up of 16 members, including members of the Department of Highways and citizens appointed by the governor.
Similar laws have been passed in more than 20 other states and more than 200 municipalities all across the United States. These acts are all part of a growing effort across the country to ensure all who travel roads in America are safe. This movement started in 1971, when the Oregon Legislature passed a bill known as the "Bike Bill," which required all roads built by the Oregon Department of Transportation in the future to accommodate bicycles and pedestrians. This bill was the first of its kind, starting a movement that continues with this bill.
I am very pleased that one of the bills that I co-sponsored made it onto the agenda of the special session and passed. The bill helps volunteer fire departments with their workers' compensation premiums. The intention is to help volunteer fire departments throughout West Virginia who are often struggling to make their premium payments.
Sen. John Unger,
D-16th District
We have concluded the 2013 regular session, the extended budget session and the first special session of 2013. I am very pleased with the decisive, bipartisan work we have done to move West Virginia forward.
The Feed to Achieve Act completed action Saturday night. This bill will set up a framework for county school boards and community groups to feed all public school students in West Virginia. No child should go hungry.
It is a sensible, caring approach that will improve student focus and retention, while also providing an economic support element to local businesses and farmers. It allows funds to be utilized to buy produce from local farmers and use that produce for the purpose of nutrition in the schools.
The bill is neither an unfunded mandate nor in any way takes the responsibility away from parents. We want to end the cycle of child poverty in West Virginia while growing a healthy, educated, drug-free workforce, and the Feed to Achieve Act is the first of many steps in this process.
We also passed meaningful education reform that gives counties flexibility in hiring teachers and implementing their 180 calendar. The reform also has provisions to ensure third-graders are reading at an appropriate level and that high school students are on a college or career training path.
We tackled prison overcrowding by providing $25 million investment over the next five years for increased supervision, most of it for drug treatment. It also mandates that every county participate in drug court programs by 2016. Drug courts use strict drug treatment and testing as an alternative to prison sentences. They currently operate in 30 of the state's 55 counties and have been enormously successful in keeping offenders from being sent back to jail.
Other major bills completed include a Tax Implement Finance (TIF) economic development project in Morgantown, funding for volunteer fire departments' workers compensation and bills to eliminate puppy mills in West Virginia.


text: DD is having a solid food strike atm! I am trying not to be concerned about it and think she might be bored of her food. Her weight has stayed the same the last 5 weeks and she's been fighting off a bad cold during this time too. So, I am trying to introduce more finger foods to keep things interesting and hopefully make her interested in participating in food again. She turned her nose up at toast - just played with it. She likes fruit, which we do once a day (usually peach or banana). I had thought of cheerios, but they are too full of sugar here in the UK. What are others giving as an introduction to finger foods? She does have a milk intolerance, so I feel a little limited by that. I also try to keep food colorful and visually/texturally interesting for her as she has some sight problems. Any suggestions?

Preliminary hearings are scheduled today for two Seward men accused of attempting to break into an Armagh home. Investigators later said one of the suspects admitted afterward that they had burglarized numerous homes and churchs in the Armagh area.
22-year-old Nathan Yanity and 31-year-oldGregory McAdoo, who both live at Yanity's mother's home along Route 403, are due before District Judge Jennifer Rega this morning. An Armaghhomeowner caught them trying to break into his home on December 6th , held them at gunpoint, and released them after they gave their identities, which turned out to be false. Using photographs, the victim later identified the suspects as Yanity and McAdoo and police tracked them down at the Black Lick home of Yanity's sister.
Yanity and McAdoo are also charged with breaking into a home on November 25th and a church on November 27th. Other charges may be filed as investigators look into unsolved cases in theArmagh area.
McAdoo is already serving probation after having spent time in state prison for the armed robbery of aMarionCenterbank branch ten years ago.
In related cases, Yanity's sister and mother both face charges of hindering apprehension.

- Abstract
- A one-zone chemospectrophotometric model is used to investigate the time evolution of disk galaxies whose star formation is truncated and to determine the dependence of this evolution on the previous star formation history and the truncation epoch. Truncated spirals show red colors ∼1 Gyr after truncation and evolve spectrally from an e(b) type, down through the e(a), a + k, and k + a classes, to finally become a k type. The exact behavior in this phase depends on the truncation epoch and the star formation history prior to truncation. For example, earlier type disks show redder colors and do not show a + k-type spectra after truncation of star formation. We also discuss a possible evolutionary link between the k-type galaxies with spiral morphology found in distant clusters and present-day S0s by investigating whether truncated spirals reproduce the infrared color-magnitude relation of Coma galaxies. We suggest that only less luminous, later-type disk galaxies whose star formation is truncated at intermediate and high redshifts can reproduce the red I - K colors observed for S0s in the Coma cluster.

$1.2B buried power line planned for Vt.By Kevin OConnor
Staff Writer | May 07,2014Private developers are proposing a $1.2 billion hydropower transmission line to run 100 miles underneath Lake Champlain from the Canadian border to Benson, then 50 miles east along and below major highway right of way to a planned $200 million converter station in Ludlow.
The New England Clean Power Link would carry 1,000 megawatts of high voltage direct current enough to serve 1 million households through two 6-inch-thick plastic-covered cables dug 4 feet under or near such state roads as routes 4, 7 and 103 to the Vermont Electric Power Companys current connector in Cavendish.
Once completed, the project will lower costs for consumers, reduce environmental emissions, create jobs, increase tax revenues and diversify fuel supply in New England, all while respecting Vermonts natural beauty by burying the lines, Transmission Developers Inc. of New England says on its website, necplink.com.
The project, to be financed by investors wholl charge tolls to electric companies using it, faces extensive federal, state and local review. But developers are aiming for completion by 2019 and estimate it could save consumers $2 billion in energy costs over the first decade of the lines 40-year life.
For people wondering if such a plan is a pipe dream, TDI notes its a subsidiary of the New York City-based Blackstone Group LP, an equity firm that manages $230 billion in assets. It also has received preliminary approval for a $2.2 billion Champlain Hudson Power Express project, which is on track to lay 333 miles of similar line from Quebec through New York state to Queens by 2018.
Independent energy, economic and environmental interests are reviewing the plan with equal parts concern and curiosity.
Were taking a hard look at the proposal, but we are intrigued, Christopher Kilian, director of the Vermont office of the Conservation Law Foundation, said Tuesday. With appropriate mitigation for potential environmental harms and assurances that this power supply will not undermine other important objectives like efficiency and other renewable sources, we think this should be given serious consideration.
Developers are starting by explaining their Vermont project to local leaders along the proposed route. On Monday, they unveiled a map to the Ludlow Select Board, which sat silently before one of its five members summed up their reaction with one word: Interesting.
Project manager Josh Bagnato said the line would diversify the energy supply in a greater New England region set to retire not only the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant in Vernon but also nearly 30 coal- and gas-fired facilities representing more than 25 percent of the areas electricity-generating capacity.
Theres concern about having too much dependence on natural gas, said Bagnato, noting the fuel now provides nearly 50 percent of the regions power.
The hydropower line, he continued, also would create hundreds of construction jobs and new tax revenue, reduce greenhouse gas and other air pollutant emissions, protect against volatility in electrical supply and prices and provide below-ground infrastructure strong enough to withstand most natural disasters.
The first 97 miles would be laid under Lake Champlain using low-impact installation techniques, Bagnato said, while the remaining 50 miles would run along existing highway rights-of-way.
Our proposal is to bury it in your roads, Bagnato told the Ludlow Select Board. Wed leave them in better shape than we found them.
Developers explored other placement options, but found rail routes ran alongside too many wetlands and VELCO, which runs the 345-kilovolt Coolidge substation in Cavendish, had yet to respond to a request to use its own rights-of-way.
We want to stress that we are committed to constructing the line using the highest environmental standards to protect Lake Champlain and Vermonts natural beauty, Donald Jessome, TDI New Englands President and CEO, said in a statement.
Developers recently received Federal Energy Regulatory Commission authorization to sell transmission rights at negotiated market rates, but still require U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permission to place the line in navigable waters and a federal Department of Energy permit for power transmission projects that connect at international borders.
The plan also requires a Vermont Public Service Board certificate of public good and environmental, economic, energy and health and safety review by the state agencies of Natural Resources and Transportation.

As House Republican leaders struggle to sell their spending agreement, President Obama is privately crowing to supporters that he stood up the GOP on health care and won big time.
Republicans have made defunding Democrats' health care law a top priority, but at a closed-to-the-press fundraiser Obama candidly described to donors how he defeated their attempts. Perhaps not realizing his mic was on, Obama's private remarks were caught by CBS correspondent Mark Knoller, who was able to listen to through a live audio feed.
"I said, 'You want to repeal health care? Go at it. We'll have that debate," Obama said, describing his negotiations with Speaker John Boehner. "You're not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the budget. You think we're stupid?'"
According to CBS, Obama quoted himself as telling Boehner to "Put it in a separate bill," adding that "if you think you can overturn my veto, try it. But don't try to sneak this through."

For Immediate Release
March 12, 2007
Illinois is 'Shaping the Future With the Arts'
ISBE encourages communities to celebrate Illinois
Arts Education Week, March 11-17
Springfield, Ill. – The Illinois State Board of Education is recognizing the importance of arts education in educating our children by proclaiming March 11-17 as Illinois Arts Education Week. This 25th annual Illinois Arts Education Week highlights the importance of the fine arts to our students and culture with the theme, 'Shaping the Future With the Arts'.
"Incorporating the arts into the classroom helps to shape the future of our students," said Christopher Koch, Interim State Superintendent. "Research has shown the importance of the arts to a student's academic and social development."
Jacob Corning, a 12-year-old sixth-grader at Reagan Middle School in Dixon was chosen as the winner of a statewide poster contest celebrating the 2007 Illinois Arts Education Week. Jacob's entry included five cats drawn in ancient Egyptian style. The poster contest was sponsored by ISBE in coordination with the Illinois Alliance for Arts Education (IAAE) and the Office of Governor Blagojevich.
"I drew a huge cat in the center and a smaller cat on top of the big cat," said Jacob. "Mrs. Thompson tells us that composition is similar to setting the stage for a play and it helps to let the viewer know more about your artwork."
You can view his poster online at http://www.isbe.net/curriculum/Default.htm, along with more information about Illinois Arts Education Week.
Jacob will be recognized for his work by Jesse H. Ruiz, Chairman of the State Board of Education, on Tuesday, March 13, during the IAAE's annual Service Recognition Award ceremony in Chicago. The event is being held at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Grand Ballroom. During the ceremony, Jacob will be presented with a proclamation from Governor Blagojevich and the State Board of Education.
Fine Arts is one of the seven learning areas in the Illinois Learning Standards adopted in 1997 by ISBE. Fine Arts are a key component of a student's education and development. It's important that students learn the language of the arts, understand how works of art are produced, and understand the role of the arts in civilizations, past and present. The IL Learning Standards define what all students in Illinois public schools should know and be able to do as a result of their elementary and secondary schooling in the content learning areas of English language arts, mathematics, science, social science, physical development and health, fine arts and foreign languages.
The month of March is also celebrated by many national and state professional education associations as a time to focus on students' participation in the arts. It is a time to recognize the state's outstanding young artists and focus on careers in the arts available to Illinois students, and enhance public support for this important part of our curriculum. The Illinois Art Education Association and Illinois Music Education Association sponsor Youth Art Month and Music in Our Schools Month in March.
Additional posters can be requested by contacting ISBE's Curriculum and Instruction Division at 217-557-7323; e-mail: email@example.com; mail: 100 North First Street, Springfield, IL 62777-0001. The back of the poster contains references to the Illinois Learning Goals and Standards for the Fine Arts as well as suggested resources, activities and celebrations.

- Title
- Quantitative comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental results for Bragg spectroscopy of a strongly interacting Fermi superfluid
- Author(s)
- Zou, Peng; Kuhnle, Eva D.; Vale, Chris J.; Hu, Hui
- Abstract
- Theoretical predictions for the dynamic structure factor of a harmonically trapped Fermi superfluid near the Bose-Einstein condensate-Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BEC-BCS) crossover are compared with recent Bragg spectroscopy measurements at large transferred momenta. The calculations are based on a random-phase (or time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Gorkov) approximation generalized to the strongly interacting regime. Excellent agreement with experimental spectra at low temperatures is obtained, with no free parameters. Theoretical predictions for zero-temperature static structure factor are also found to agree well with the experimental results and independent theoretical calculations based on the exact Tan relations. The temperature dependence of the structure factors at unitarity is predicted.

Before I get started today, let me pinch myself.
And open my front blinds to take a peek.
Whoa, bright. The sun did come up this morning.
And turn on the TV.
Blah, blah, blah.
Yep, same old talking heads spewing the same old partisan nonsense on the Sunday morning politico shows.
Looks like we made it.
So far, anyway.
Turns out this latest Doomsday scenario coming out of Washington, D.C., the one known as sequestration, isn't the end of the world as we know it.
OK, it's barely been a full day since the automatic budget cuts were put into place because Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill failed to reach a compromise on a new plan to reduce the deficit.
The sequester means our federal government will reduce spending by about $85 billion this year, much of it coming from the military. In the grand scheme of things – and by that, I mean our annual budget deficits of more than $1 trillion – $85 billion isn't much more than loose change in Congress's collective pocket.
The fact is, we have a lot more cutting to do to right our fiscal ship.
President Barack Obama hoped to postpone the sequester cuts by adopting more tax increases along with targeted budget cuts. Republicans would have none of it.
All of the posturing leading up to Friday's deadline – from both sides of the aisle – was nothing more than just that – posturing.
The next doomsday comes in less than a month. On March 27, we face a government shutdown if Congress can't reach a budget deal.
The way I figure it, I'm still alive and kicking today, even after the sequestration doomsday.
It's got me kinda, sorta rooting for the shutdown.
• • •
Speaking of doomsday: If following the nonsense in Washington, D.C., weren't enough ...
Our elected officials in Springfield continue to baffle. Illinois has the worst-funded public pension system in the U.S. Underfunded by more than $90 billion, it's crippling our state's economy.
Yet lawmakers still won't do anything about it.
House Speaker Michael Madigan, who usually prefers to handle the state's business behind closed doors, put forth four potential reform measures on the House floor on Thursday that would have eliminated cost-of-living increases, raised the retirement age, and/or required larger pension contributions from state employees.
All of them were roundly defeated. Republicans refused to even participate in the voting.
As each week passes without pension reform, the pension deficit grows by millions of dollars.
The state can't pay its bills as it is, yet our elected officials continue to do nothing.
For what it's worth, state Rep. Jack Franks' call to suspend all other legislative business until pension reform is figured out has my support.

Artists needed: On a more upbeat note, the city of Crystal Lake will be celebrating its centennial anniversary in 2014.
In anticipation of that, a Centennial Committee has been established to plan the city's yearlong 100th birthday party.
Every good centennial needs a logo, so the committee is conducting a logo contest, and is seeking local artists to participate. Participants must either live, work or go to school in Crystal Lake for their entries to be considered.
The winner of the logo contest will receive a $100 I Shop Crystal Lake gift certificate and the recognition for creating the Centennial logo, said George J. Koczwara, deputy Crystal Lake city manager. Four other finalists also will receive a $100 I Shop Crystal Lake gift certificate.
The deadline to submit an entry is March 22. Visit http://shawurl.com/ixj for contest information and a submission form.
Good luck.

New editor: Jason Schaumburg begins his tenure Monday as Northwest Herald's editor. As I mentioned in this space a couple of weeks ago, Schaumburg is former assistant sports editor, sports editor and managing editor of this newspaper.
He's also been the top newsroom leader at the Daily Chronicle in DeKalb and the Sun-Times-owned Pioneer Press papers throughout suburban Chicago. He's a proven journalist and leader who knows and loves McHenry County.
I am starting my new position as group editor for Northwest Herald's parent company, Shaw Media. In this position, I will oversee editorial content and production for all of Shaw's suburban publications, including this one.
I still plan to be active in the Northwest Herald newsroom and on these pages.
I've enjoyed my time as editor, none moreso than when I've conversed with our loyal readers. Even when a reader called to complain about something – and those times have been many – I've appreciated that feedback. That means our readers care. This is as much your newspaper as it is anyone's.
When those phone calls stop, that means our readers have stopped caring, or stopped reading.
Please join me in welcoming Schaumburg back – his email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Don't hesitate to reach out to him with story ideas, comments, questions or criticisms. He'll appreciate your feedback as I much as I do.
As always, though, I'll still be around and hope to continue hearing from you, too.
• Crystal Lake resident Dan McCaleb is group editor for Shaw Media's suburban publications, which includes the Northwest Herald. He can be reached at 815-526-4603, or by email at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at @Dan_McCaleb.

Expert: Digital surveillance is felt even in Vt.
MONTPELIER A national security author says the war on terrorism and the growth of digital technology are combining to increase the reach of government surveillance programs, even in Vermont.
Author William Arkin of Pomfret made the comments Tuesday during a conference on government surveillance hosted by the Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union in Montpelier.
But Arkin said even the people who are carrying out the surveillance arent sure how to balance the needs of privacy versus the needs of intelligence gathering, so there is room for members of the public to help put limits on that technology.
The conference follows a report released last month by Vermont ACLU about how many modern day conveniences, such as cellphones, make it possible for people to be tracked.
The territory of freedom is shrinking, Arkin said. I do believe we are struggling to come up with rules of the road and to figure out how to behave in the information age.
But at this point, there is hope, he added. The agencies collecting information are figuring it out too, and that means citizens can have an effect on creating such rules going forward.
Arkin, was one of the speakers at the ACLUs daylong conference called Surveillance on the Northern Border. He began his career in Army intelligence in West Berlin during the Cold War. He helped report and write Top Secret America, a Washington Post investigation, and co-wrote a book of the same name.
Last month, the Vermont ACLU released a report outlining how the federal government plays a greater role in Vermont because it is a border state, though Arkin dismissed that designation.
This physical geography is kind of old school, he said. Now we live in this virtual world, we live in this virtual world in which we are all connected.
The Department of Homeland Security has a number of offices in Vermont, one of 16 border states. Many companies in the state work as contractors on security issues for the federal government.
Everything becomes about national security and homeland security and our actual resilience and strength and vitality of our civil society and civil structures weaken under this aesthetic, Arkin said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

Staff and wire reports
The season's first winterlike storm could be here as soon as Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
A storm will be making its way into New Mexico from Arizona on Friday night, bringing with it up to a foot of snow in some parts of the state. Accumulations may exceed 6 inches in eastern New Mexico.
A winter storm watch has been issued for Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon.
"We're going to get the brunt of that storm late Friday, and Friday night into Saturday. Everything points to snow," meteorologist Kerry Jones said.
But heavy winds will hit New Mexico before snow does.
Strong winds along the Interstate 40 corridor could start as soon as Thursday afternoon, Jones said.
The winds will calm Friday, followed by the storm moving in from the west.
Snow could make for dangerous driving conditions and wreak havoc on traffic in western New Mexico, especially along Interstate 40, Jones said.
"It's going to be cold enough that most areas in New Mexico will see snow," he said.
The high temperatures in eastern New Mexico are expected to be in the 30s on Friday and Saturday after topping out in the mid-40s on Thursday, officials said.
Lows this weekend will feature wind-chill factors in the single digits.

I didn't think I'd be here anytime soon!
Magnolia is 18 months, and didn't show any signs of stopping soon (nursed twice a day since 12 mo, and she was very serious about those 2 times!). She quit the am session about a month ago, which didn't bother me one bit. I've kind of been ready to be totally done since she was 14 mo, but not 100%, so I wasn't going to initiate the weaning or anything like that (and I had just informed DH that I would be nursing until she was ready to quit).
Well, she always asked for 'boop' when we went to lay her in her crib at night. About 2 weeks ago, we started taking walks around 6:30, and inevitably, she would be asleep by the time we got home (no matter how short or long the walk was). She didn't wake up during the night to ask for it, as she normally did if she didn't nurse right before bed. Anyway, the last 4 nights she's been awake when we lay her down, and she hasn't asked for it, hasn't woken up during the night (at all), hasn't tried to 'free the boops' as she sometimes does during the day, nothing. I think she's done.
It's very strange. I'm not really sad (a little, though), just kind of surprised, I guess. I thought it was going to be a process with lots of emotions from both of us, not just....ok, done, that's it and going about the rest of the days like normal. I'm not really sure what to think about it...huh...


text:
My daughter is 13 months old and she still breastfeeds at least 4 times a day (sometimes more). I try to stick to a schedule for the most part, but I also just let her nurse on demand. But it usually falls within her normal daily schedule.
What are other children doing? Also how many naps a day are your children taking? She is still taking 2 naps (one in the morning and one in the afternoon with bedtime around 8:30 pm). I keep hearing that she will only take one nap but I'm wondering when and how that will happen.

Posted on 24/06/2014 by Phillip Island Nature Parks
Phillip Island Nature Parks has deployed fox detection dogs in an effort to track and eradicate the last remaining foxes on Phillip Island.
The springer spaniels, named Sam and Jazz, will be used over the next three years to search for fox scat and fresh fox scent. The dogs will be deployed across the island with dog handler Craig Bester, and mapping will enable Nature Parks rangers to determine the most likely locations of the remaining foxes or their dens.
"The introduction of fox detection dogs brings us one step closer to completely eradicating foxes from Phillip Island," fox project manager Stuart Murphy said.
"Sam and Jazz have undergone intensive training and are highly skilled at working across a variety of Phillip Island's landscapes."
Foxes have been the greatest land-based threat to Phillip Island's little penguins for over 100 years - one fox can kill up to 30 penguins in one night. To help protect Phillip Island's biodiversity, a Fox Eradication Program began in 2007. A public awareness campaign allowed members of the community to "Dob In A Fox", while strategic broad-scale baiting integrated with other techniques occurred across most of Phillip Island.
Since the implementation of that program, Phillip Island's fox population has been reduced from between 60 to 80 individuals in 2007, to an estimated 11 today. As a result, ground-nesting birds such Cape Barren geese, masked lapwings and hooded plovers have increased in abundance, and only one little penguin has been killed by a fox since the program commenced.
The installation of two cameras on the Phillip Island bridge is planned in the near future to monitor the potential migration of foxes from the mainland.
The deployment of the fox detection dogs and other fox eradication initiatives was made possible through ongoing funding by Phillip Island Nature Parks, the Penguin Foundation and via a grant from the Ian Potter Foundation.
If you spot a fox on Phillip Island, please call: 0419 369 365.

Pour the stock into a pan and add the chicken, ginger and garlic. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, partly cover and simmer for 20 mins, until the chicken is tender. Remove the chicken to a board and shred into bite-size pieces using a couple of forks.
Return the chicken to the stock with the noodles, corn, mushrooms, half the spring onions and the soy sauce. Simmer for 3-4 mins until the noodles are tender. Ladle into two bowls and scatter over the remaining spring onions, herbs and chilli shreds if using. Serve with extra soy sauce for sprinkling.
Make it vegetarian
Replace the chicken with 175g/6oz firm tofu cut into cubes, simmer for 5 mins, then add the other ingredients as before.

Comfort on a plate. It is really hard to believe that such a simple dish with so few ingredients could taste so absolutely fabulous. I only had Udon noodles in the cupboard, but they were really lovely with the soup. Next time will try with wheat noodles to see if the taste is different. Mary Cadogan does it again!!
Great recipe, chopped up all the ingredients the evening before I planned to make this, then it was quick and easy to make once I got in from work the next day. Added a chopped chilli and some sliced pepper, and after reading other reviews slightly increased the amount of chicken and noodles in the recipe to make it a bit more substantial. Really scrummy and definitely a recipe I'll be making again
