Federal school lunch rules not so easy to swallow for some Derry officialsBY ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
March 17. 2013 10:16PM
DERRY - Federal guidelines requiring students to eat healthier lunches may end up leaving kids hungrier than they should be, according to several people in the school district.
In order to receive federal reimbursement that amounts to six cents per meal, school districts must meet certain requirements in regards to portion size and the types of foods that are served.
However, according to school district business manager Jane Simard, the FDA requirements have led to smaller portion sizes and foods that some students do not like or eat as much of.
"I think we do a good job here and (the federal government) should leave it to local control that we can put out healthy meals students want to eat, because if they are not eating them, that defeats the purpose," said Simard.
School Board Chairman Brenda Willis has been especially frustrated with the federal guidelines and the impact it has had on school lunches this year.
She said a parent recently approached her and said her son was coming home hungry because the schools were limiting the amount of food he could eat.
"They are giving him food he doesn't like and he is throwing it away," said Willis. "This has been my concern all along. I know it is driven by the federal government."
Superintendent Laura Nelson said she understands the concerns expressed by Willis and some parents.
"As the mother of a son, I can relate to a child coming home who had a school lunch but didn't have enough to eat," she said.
Nelson said students can get extra portions or additional side items if they pay for them.
"If parents are concerned that their children are hungry, I recommend that they contact their child's teacher," said Nelson. She said the teachers and the food services department would be happy to work with the parents to see how they can get additional food if they need it.
"If children are coming home hungry, that's a problem," Nelson said.
Willis said it doesn't make sense that students have to buy extra food if they are not getting enough to eat.
Simard said she agreed with Willis' concerns.
"Isn't it the point of the food services program to feed all the kids and make sure they don't go home hungry?" she asked.
She said the food services department is working to the best of its ability under the regulations to provide healthy meals that the students also enjoy.
"It really puts food services in a sticky situation," she said. "They do the best they can and make nice, new healthy dishes that comply with the number of grains and everything else that has to be on the plate."

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Founded in March of 2009 to offer local amateur musicians an opportunity to enjoy playing their music with their peers, the Really Terrible Orchestra of Westchester marks its fifth anniversary with a concert at the Greenburgh Public Library Sunday, March 2 at 2 p.m.
Founded by Irvington violinist Barbara Rosenthal and four other musicians, The Really Terrible Orchestra was modeled after the Really Terrible Orchestra of Edinburgh, Scotland, created by author Alexander McCall Smith in 1995. The group has to 40 members strong in 2014.
The (Not) Really Terrible members say their mission is to be open to all who want to play in an orchestra regardless of skill level, and to give performances for the community. The orchestra strives to be inclusive and was the first "No-Audition" orchestra in the area.
Harry Bright, violinist, said RTOW said his journey back to playing music after retirement from a career working for the state department, teaching and coaching track and field.
"I began playing the violin at age 5 in North Carolina," Bright said. "It was a tradition in my family to play an instrument, as my mother was a classical musician. I played through college at Seton Hall University in New Jersey on a track and field scholarship, so the track & field consumed most of my time."
Bright said, like many of his peers, music has become a joyous pastime.
"Upon retirement I began studying violin at the Music Conservatory of Westchester," Bright said. "I played with another orchestra and when that disbanded, I joined the Really Terrible Orchestra of Westchester. I've enjoyed my two years with the orchestra, and being with others who enjoy making music."
Bassist Ferdie Flick said playing with the orchestra is about the search for life's harmonies.
"I guess no one really knows when the first individuals got together to produce sounds in synch with one another," Flick said. "It doesn't matter except for the fact that it has never ceased since. The quest for that perfect resonance is always there, almost always – just beyond our reach. This probably best describes my relationship with music and with the RTOW. It has been a wonderful learning experience for me, admittedly humbling at times. But that amazing transcendent feeling of everyone "getting it right" has to be lived to be appreciated."
RTO of Westchester is led by Ivy League Educated and classical bass player Nathaniel Chase.
RTOW is a 501(C) 3 organization and a member of ArtsWestchester.

Kristen Stewart Without Makeup In New 'W' Magazine Shoot — Gorgeous
Plus, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain and Kiera Knightley pose without makeup for the magazine as well.
Kristen Stewart proves she barely needs any makeup to look gorgeous! Kristen, 22, and other Hollywood A-listers are completely unmasked in a new photo shoot for W magazine. Look through the pics and sound off on whether you think they look as gorgeous as we do!
K-Stew, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain, Kiera Knightley and a number of male actors posed for famed photographer Juergen Teller as the magazine celebrates the year's brightest stars.
The Twilight star looks comfortable without makeup, as she wears a white strapless dress in her photo. Unapologetically, Kristen also sports slight bags under her eyes as she goes without makeup.
Kristen Stewart's Nude Scenes
Inside the magazine, Kristen talks about her role in On The Road.
"Everyone asks about the nude scenes in On the Road, but I also had to dance, and dancing is harder than being naked," she says.
"My character, Marylou, is so exuberant, and I had five minutes to do something that showed she was sort of like the craziest motherf***er around. In the book, it says, 'Dean takes MaryLou and they do a love dance and no one can take their eyes off them.' It's one sentence. And I was mad-intimidated by it. We did the dance four times to the song Salt Peanuts. By the end, I was as red as a fire truck. I was holding onto Garrett [Hedlund] because I was going to fall over. I almost passed out every single time," Kristen added.

We cannot express strongly enough how discouraging, frustrating, and totally unacceptable that we find the CBO estimated budget and the recommendations made by USDA for the 2007 farm bill," stated peanut farmer and Western Peanut Growers Association (WPGA) President Ted Higginbottom at a recent grower meeting in Seminole.
WPGA members are urgently trying to get this message to Congress before it's too late and they are forced to close the doors on their operations.
The Bush administration recently unveiled the 2007 farm bill proposals that many farmers object to strongly.
"The 2007 farm bill will be a determining factor on how the peanut industry survives, and with the current proposals things do not look good," said Higginbottom.
The current USDA proposals cut the adjusted gross income limit of a farmer by 92 percent, making many producers ineligible for the farm program benefits. The proposal also eliminates the three-entity rule, which currently allows farmers the option of using multiple entities for business purposes, and the administration would cap the amount of payments that could be received by an individual farmer or farmer and his spouse.
"Cutting out the three entity rule will severely cripple a lot of farmers and put some out of business," Higginbottom said. "Lowering the payment limit could certainly put more farmers out of business because they would not be able to take advantage of an above average crop. Farmers must be able to play catch up once in a while after suffering through poor crop years."
Support cuts
For peanut growers to stay in business, Higginbottom contends, the next farm bill must address the repayment rate and storage and handling costs. The current proposal lowers the peanut loan rate from $355 to $336 per ton and eliminates the storage and handling payment.
"The total impact is a dramatic cut in program support payments to the peanut industry, and that can have an effect on any person living in America," Higginbottom said. "If I close the door to my business I will not need any more John Deere tractors; that will affect the manufacturer who is in Illinois. It is a trickle down effect that everyone will feel." Higginbottom said.
The 2007 farm bill will affect every American - by affecting farms and ranches; soil and water; rural communities; taxes and the food we eat. The farm bill must invest in the future of rural America through proven, effective strategies such as entrepreneurial development, conservation, community development, encouraging new farmers, and building assets in rural areas.
"It is time for producers like myself to take action before it is too late," Higginbottom said at the Seminole meeting. "We must remember that Congress, not the administration, will draft language and direct funding as it relates to farm policy and the 2007 farm bill. It is critical that everyone who has any kind of business in rural American contact their congressmen."

Includes: Love Note, Pillow Talk, and Between The Sheets . Includes limited edition personalized Chrome Girl Black Velvet Bag
About Chrome Girl
Longtime friends Jaime Boreanaz and Melissa Ravo first realized their uncanny similarities years ago upon meeting in their neighborhood. Both mothers – whose young daughters incidentally became fast friends as well – found that their interests aligned perfectly.
It was one sunny girls' afternoon while painting their daughters nails in which they realized that the product they were so carefully applying on their children's nails would soon end up making its way into the little girls' mouths – whether while eating, chewing on their nails, or licking off cupcake frosting. A quick scan of the ingredients of the polishes became a nauseating realization for the mothers.
In that moment, the idea behind Chrome Girl was born. A collaboration between Jaime and Melissa, and their respective husbands David and Aaron, Chrome Girl was launched in February 2013 as a fashionable alternative to the harsh and dangerous nail polishes currently on the market. It is a product that is 4-free, which means it is produced without formaldehyde, DBP, toluene or camphor. It is safe for even youngsters – but is on-trend, and ultra-cool. The debut collection boasts the hottest of colors – such as When In Chrome, Barely Legal, No Tan Lines, Shmexy and Pillow Talk, to name a few – and is intended for women of all ages, backgrounds and ethnicities.
Chrome Girl is not just about nail polish. It's about creation, expression, and designing the ultimate fashion accessory on your fingertips. It is about art, about playfulness, about having a passion for the bold.
It is the ideal melding of Jaime and Melissa's penchant for style, their commitment to healthy beauty, and their belief that all princesses – young and old – should be able to drop a little magic fairy dust from perfectly polished fingertips.

This is a tutorial I'm putting together to show you how to network 2 computers through a wireless connection using Windows Server 2003 and Red Hat Linux. In this tutorial we'll be using our Linux machine as our gateway to the wireless network. It is assumed that you have 2 computers, one having a wireless NIC as well as a standard ethernet port. The Windows machine needs to have only one NIC. Depending upon your NIC you may need a crossover cable, in my case I did not. It is also assumed that the WAP is your gateway to the internet.
Linux Setup
At this point you'll want to bring your NIC's online and acquire an adress from your WAP using DHCP for eth0 (or whatever your wireless card is named). As root you'll issue the following commands:
Make note of the address your assigned and continue on. The next thing we will do is assign a static IP to your second interface:Code:#ifconfig eth0 up; pump -i eth0; ifconfig
I assigned the NIC an IP in a private IP range. These are 192.168.0.0/24, 172.16.0.0/16, and 10.0.0.0/8. For mine I chose the address 10.0.0.1 with a mask of 255.0.0.0 just to keep things simple.Code:#ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.1; ifconfig
The next thing you will want to do is turn on forwarding for the NIC's. In a nutshell, this is what allows your box to route packets.
Note: I will not be covering firewalling here so if this is a consideration please take appropriate measures and educate yourself as to the function of the following commands.
Code:#echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/forwardingCode:#echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arpCode:#echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/forwardingThe next thing we will be doing is checking our routes. Usually Linux will add a route to whatever network your NIC sits on, but just to make sure we'll check:Code:#echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/proxy_arp
What we're looking for here is where everything will be going. Mine looks something like this:Code:#route
What this breaks down to is that everything destined to or from the 10.0.0.0 and 192.168.1.0 network will have to cross through eth1 or eth0 and the kernels routing table. The default route is the route that any packets NOT destined for directly attached networks will take. In this case the gateway is 192.168.1.1, the IP of my WAP, and the gateway to the internet.Code:Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Windows setup
Start off by assigning it a static IP:
*Click* Start > Control Panels > Network Conections
Since we have used the 10.0.0.0/8 network for simplicity we'll assign the address 10.0.0.2 with a mask of 255.0.0.0. The default gateway will be 10.0.0.2 (the localhost IP)
Make sure your settings match what you've set and move on to RRAS. I assume you know your way around RRAS, if not. There is plenty of helpful info at the MS knowledgebase. At this point you'll need to configure your static routes to the other host on your network. First setup a route to yourself. The destination net is 10.0.0.0, the mask is 255.0.0.0, and the gateway again, is yourself. Then you'll setup a static route to your linux box. the destination will be 192.168.1.0, the mask will be 255.255.255.0 and the gateway will be 10.0.0.1 (eth1 on your linux box).Code:c:\ipconfig /all
If you did everything correctly now you should be able to ping 192.168.1.102 (eth0) from your windows machine. Congratulations!
WAP setup
There are so many different model WAP's there is no easy way to describe how to go about assigning a static IP, but for most small, home office models the management IP is usually 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.0, 192.168.1.254, or 192.168.1.100. If its different, you may need to consult with your owners manual, or you may have changed it yourself. They usually assign IP's in the standard 192.168.0.0/24 network. You *could* continue to use DHCP to get an address, but you'd have to update your static routes by hand everytime your address changes. This is not a problem, just consider this because it *could* save hair. The last thing you will need to do is setup a static route on your WAP that points towards the 10.0.0.0 network. The destination lan IP would be 10.0.0.0 with a mask of 255.0.0.0. The gateway will be eth0 (192.168.1.102).
At this point its all setup. You should be able to ping the gateway, or the outside world from your Windows machine. The only thing to do is to setup DNS to point towards a suitable (reachable) server on your machines.
If I missed anything by all means point it out. I just decided to write this because I am practicing for my MCSE and I needed to setup a lab. Thing is I didnt have time to run the wires from the other side of the house, so this works for now.
For further reading I'd reccomend Linux TCP/IP Network Administration by Scott Mann. Its a great read. Also the MS knowledge base, the owners manual to your WAP, and good ole google.

Today's Meditation
1 Corinthians 3:5-9
Neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
-1 Corinthians 3:7 (NRSV)
I learned about farming from my father, who was a cotton farmer. Preparation for the next year's harvest actually starts just as the current year's harvest is complete. As soon as the crops are out of the field, the ground is prepared for the next year's crop to eliminate stalks and preserve ground moisture. The following spring and summer everything is done with precision, from selecting seed and the number to be planted per acre to plowing and planting.
However, regardless of how much preparation takes place, variables can always affect the plan. Insects, hail damage, too little or too much rainfall -- all these can increase stress levels for farmers. Even though farmers have a lot of work and planning to do, they cannot make the seed sprout or the plant grow. Only God can do that.
Our spiritual growth is similar. Just as God cannot produce a crop for a farmer who does not plant and tend the field, God cannot grow the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives if we do not do our part. Our part involves consistent attention to spiritual practices such as Bible study, prayer, worship, putting God first in our lives, and caring for those in need. It takes time to grow spiritually, and we cannot make it happen faster. But we can maximize our growth by paying attention every day to the details that are our responsibility.
M. Ted Haynes
(Texas, USA)
Prayer: Dear God, teach us to use the tools you have given us to grow in spiritual maturity. Amen.
Thought for the Day: Spiritual growth is a partnership between us and God.

College Hockey: Defense chips in for UNH in win over UMass
By ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
— Senior defenseman Justin Agosta scored three goals in his first 82 games for the University of New Hampshire hockey team.
He had two in the first 29 minutes of Friday night's game at the Whittemore Center to lead UNH to a much-needed 4-1 win over Massachusetts in front of 5,326 fans.
The Wildcats won for the first time at home this season and the first time since their season-opening win over Clarkson. They had been winless in their last six.
UNH improved to 2-5-1 overall and 1-2-0 in Hockey East. The Minutemen fell to 3-5-1 overall and 1-2-1 in the league.
UMass has lost all four road games it has played this season, but is undefeated at home in the Mullins Center at 3-0-1.
The Wildcats will try to put a dent in that record tonight when they and the Minutemen wrap up their season series with a 7 p.m. game in Amherst. UMass beat UNH, 2-1 in overtime, at the Mullins last season on Nov. 2.
UMass has not won at the Whittemore Center since posting a 3-2 decision here on Oct. 26, 2006.
Junior Steven Mastalerz made 28 saves for the Minutemen and his record dropped to 3-4-1.
UNH junior Casey DeSmith stopped 22 shots and earned his first win of the season. His record is 1-4-0.
Wildcat defensemen had scored four goals for the season going into Friday night.
They had three in the game. Junior Trevor van Riemsdyk finished off the scoring with a goal late in the third period.
Agosta's second goal of the game put UNH up 2-1 at 8:35 of the second period. Dan Correale set up a trailing Agosta and the defenseman beat Mastalerz with a shot low to the stick side.
UNH had chances to extend the lead when the Minutemen were whistled for back-to-back-to-back penalties just past the midway point of the period. UMass killed the three straight power plays.
For only the second time all season, and first since opening the season with a win over Clarkson, the Wildcats took a lead into the third period.
Sophomore forward Kyle Smith upped the lead to 3-1 at 2:19 into the final period off a feed from Casey Thrush.
It was also UNH's first two-goal lead since the opener.
Van Riemsdyk scored on the power play with 3:13 left in the game to make it 4-1. Tyler Kelleher, a UNH freshman from Longmeadow, Mass., had an assist on the play.
Kelleher has a goal and a couple of assists in eight games for the Wildcats.
The teams traded first-period goals, UNH scoring early and UMass late.
Agosta scored from out front, along the ice and through a screen, to open the scoring 1:51 into the game.
UMass freshman Steven Iacobellis answered with a power play goal with 2:22 left in the period.
The Minutemen have scored at least one power play goal in eight of their nine games and have a league-leading 14 overall.
On the flip side, the Minutemen have given up at least one power play goal in each of their last six games and eight of their nine games.
UMass was 1-for-3 on the power play. UNH 1-for-4.
UNH has a busy week ahead after UMass. The Wildcats play Brown on Tuesday night at the Whittemore Center. They play at Northeastern on Friday and have Northeastern at home on Saturday. . . . Senior forward Jeff Silengo had his first two assists of the season for the Wildcats and Smith scored his first career goal.

Eight Things We Learned From Jennifer Lawrence's New York Times Profile
And what else we learned from her New York<em> Times </em>profile.
Jennifer Lawrence has quickly emerged as one of Hollywood's most charming, unaffected personalities. (Remember when she asked Woody Harrelson if he had a sex swing?) Yesterday's New York Times profile only helped embolden her reputation. From it, we learned:
1. She buys Rob Schneider movies from Walmart: "I like making movies, but that doesn't mean I want to watch a black-and-white, freaking boring [expletive deleted] silent movie."
2. What her family was like before seeing the interactive play Sleep No More: "The whole time we were like orgy, orgy, who's going to see the orgy, what are we going to do in the event of an orgy, we need to break up so we can be assured that one of us gets to see the orgy."
3. How she dances: "When I dance, I look like I'm a dad at a prom."
4. She currently leases a Volkswagen.
5. She has bite mark on her hand from Woody Harrelson: "He actually didn't bite me; I ran into his teeth."
6. What to say to her at a bar: "I don't get annoyed when the guy at the bar says, 'May the odds be ever in your favor.'"
7. She's never had an acting teacher: "That's how I can go about life free as an idiot: because I have no idea what I'm doing."
8. She didn't love being an Oscar nominee at first: "It was so much, so fast. I was like: I just want to feel like it happened. I feel like I'm busy. I feel like I'm tired, and tired of talking about myself, which is very odd. It's such a PMS type of feeling, when something is so good that you're sad that you can't fully take it in and enjoy it." But then she got swag like M&M's with her photo on them: "That literally was probably the coolest thing that I saw. I was like: 'You know what? It's all worth it' after I saw those M&M's."

Gerard Butler rubs shoulders with designer Donatella Versace backstage at the Versace Summer Fashion Show during Milan Fashion Week 2009 in Italy on Saturday.
The 38-year-old Scottish stud sat front row at the Versace show next to a huge celeb line-up: producer/rapper Jermaine Dupri, his boo Janet Jackson, designer Tom Ford, actor Rupert Everett, Allegra Versace (Donatella's daughter), Vogue Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Men's Vogue editor Jay Fielden and actor Dominic Cooper.
Later in the day, Gerard was seen sitting front row next to Anna Wintour at the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show (Menswear Spring/Summer 2009). This is Wintour's inaugural trip to Milan for the men's shows. Wintour will also make a cameo at a Men's Vogue event hosted in honor of Gerard.
You can also check out new photos of Gerard from RocknRolla at Slashfilm.com. The film hits theaters on Halloween — Friday, October 31.

Among the most popular centerpieces of a traditional American Christmas dinner is roast goose. Typically associated with Victorian-era England, the tradition of the Christmas goose has since been adapted by families throughout the world.
Roast goose is a great option for those who want to enjoy a sustainable dinner any time. Goose remains one of the few meats in the U.S. that is not mass-produced on factory farms. Instead, most geese are raised in a sustainable manner on smaller-scale farms where they often graze on open pasture. (An important exception is when geese are subjected to the cruel practice of force-feeding during the production of fois gras – see below.)
By law, geese cannot be given growth hormones. Furthermore, since very few drugs have been approved for these birds, and since antibiotics don't improve feed efficiency, antibiotics are given to geese only when required to treat illness. However, as with any other type of meat, the best way to make sure that your goose was raised sustainably is to ask the farmer.
Planning to include goose in a special meal? Try buying a sustainably-raised heritage goose from a local family farmer. Heritage breeds have unique genetic traits which give the geese distinctive physical characteristics and make them especially well-adapted to local environmental conditions.
Unfortunately, heritage goose breeds are becoming increasingly rare; according to a study of domestic waterfowl conducted by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (ALBC), four breeds of geese (the American Buff, Pilgrim, Pomeranian, and Roman breeds) are critically endangered. In fact, the ALBC found only one remaining breeding flock of American Buff geese!
Purchasing a heritage goose not only helps keep your local family farmer in business, it also encourages the farmer to raise additional heritage birds in the future, thereby protecting these rare breeds from becoming extinct.
For more information on heritage livestock, please visit our genetic diversity section and our "Talking Turkey" article.
Foie Gras
We urge you not to buy foie gras. This specialty food consists of the swollen liver of a goose that has been force fed in order to increase the liver's size and fat content. This cruel practice requires the goose's throat to be held open while food is poured into its stomach, causing the liver to expand until it is approximately 6-10 times larger than normal. Although foie gras is considered a delicacy, the reprehensible process of force feeding is animal cruelty. As a result, the process has been outlawed in several countries, including Germany and Denmark. California has also banned the production and sale of foie gras from force-fed geese (starting 2012); similar legislation is pending in New York. Currently, only two companies produce foie gras in the U.S.: Sonoma Foie Gras in California and Hudson Valley Foie Gras in New York.
Goose Breeds
The American Poultry Association recognizes the following breeds within the Heavy, Medium, and Light weight classes.
Heavy Class: Toulouse, Embden, African
Medium Class: Sebastopol, Pilgrim, American Buff, Saddleback Pomeranian
Light Class: Chinese, Tufted Roman, Canada, Egyptian
Critically Endangered and Rare Goose Breeds
Critically endangered: American Buff*, Pilgrim*, Pomeranian, and Roman (*The American Buff and Pilgrim originated in North America.)
"Endangered" means there exist fewer than 500 breeding birds in North America, with five or fewer primary breeding flocks.
Rare: Sebastopol
"Rare" means there exist fewer than 1,000 breeding birds in North America, with seven or fewer primary breeding flocks.)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Republican chief of a congressional panel looking to rewrite the tax code suggested on Tuesday that a federal tax deduction claimed by individuals for state and local taxes paid is encouraging some states to keep their taxes high.
Dave Camp, chairman of the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee, spoke at a hearing focused on the merits of the state and local tax deduction, as well as the tax exemption for municipal bond interest income.
Taxpayers in California, New York and New Jersey claimed more than one-third of all deductions taken for state and local taxes paid in 2010, Camp noted, also pointing out that these states have among the steepest state and local tax rates.
"Those findings, and many more that have been uncovered over the years, raise significant concerns," the Michigan lawmaker said.
Those states are also among the most populous and tend to vote Democratic. Advocates for keeping the provisions noted that those states are largely urban with higher costs and higher tax payments paid back to the federal government.
"We're big givers and we don't complain about it," said New York Democratic Representative Charles Rangel.
The hearing is the latest in a series held by tax-writing lawmakers hoping to overhaul the tax code this year. Doing that will be tough, given party rancor and the power of perk-protecting lobbyists, but Camp and Democratic Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus of Montana pledge to introduce legislation this year.
Scott Hodge, president of the Tax Foundation, which advocates lower taxes, estimated that scrapping both benefits would produce enough federal revenue to lower individual tax rates by 5 percent.
"Reducing the rate would have all taxpayers being treated more similarly," Camp said, referring to that analysis.
Both provisions date to the tax code's creation in 1913, setting them apart from what some call tax loopholes. They are also among the largest tax benefits.
In fiscal year 2011, the U.S. government missed out on about $30 billion in revenues because of the muni-bond interest tax exemption and about $67 billion from the state and local tax deduction, the Congressional Budget Office said this month.
That total of nearly $100 billion a year roughly equals the amount of revenue forgone by the federal government because of another popular tax break - the mortgage interest deduction.
President Barack Obama, a Democrat, and some Republicans have suggested limiting these tax breaks, but the provisions are politically popular, fervently defended by state and local officials, and embedded in the financial markets.
Municipal bonds allow states and local governments to tap capital markets more cheaply than private sector borrowers to fund public projects such as schools and roads.
Lawmakers from both parties defended the tax exempt status of municipal bonds at the hearing.
"All we're going to be doing is passing that tax onto a different level," said Representative Kenny Marchant, a Texas Republican who said he had been swamped with concern from local officials in advance of the hearing.
Lawmakers were largely in agreement on the need to examine so-called private activity bonds, which fund private-public projects such as airports and private colleges. A recent New York Times article pointed out that the bonds have been used to finance private projects such as a Goldman Sachs office.
Experts noted that these particular private activity bonds were issued as part of onetime disaster recovery programs, which have looser regulations.
Both Camp and the committee's top Democrat, Representative Sandy Levin of Michigan, suggested looking into the rules on these bonds.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina groups favoring passage of immigration reform in Washington are meeting with reporters to discuss the need to pass the law.
Last week, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators, including South Carolina's Lindsey Graham, introduced legislation that addresses immigration issues and outlines a pathway to citizenship for people in the nation illegally.
Representatives of the NAACP, organized labor, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Latino Association of Charleston are holding a news conference in Charleston on Wednesday.
The bill in the Senate was crafted by the eight Democratic and Republican senators and deals with such issues as border security, immigrant visas and enforcement of immigration laws inside the country.

International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) Frequently Asked Questions
- What is IFTA and why do I need it?
- Vehicles meeting the following criteria are tax liable and need motor fuel road
tax credentials to be operated in all jurisdictions:
- have two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight of more than 26,000 pounds; OR
- have three or more axles regardless of weight; OR
- are used in combination, when the combined weight is more than 26,000 pounds gross or registered gross vehicle weight at any time
- IFTA is the International Fuel Tax Agreement, an agreement between all states and Canadian provinces, which allows a carrier to register and pay motor fuel road taxes in the carrier's home or base state for all participating jurisdictions. IFTA is beneficial to motor carriers because it eliminates the need for a motor carrier to contact every jurisdiction he intends to operate in to get a motor fuel road tax permit. It also eliminates the need for a motor carrier to file a quarterly motor fuel road tax return with every jurisdiction in which he has traveled. It allows a motor carrier to take advantage of all over-purchase fuel tax credits because one tax return is filed for all jurisdictions.
- How do I keep mileage and fuel records to file a tax return?
- You must keep mileage and fuel records in order to complete your quarterly motor fuel road
tax returns. The mileage records are also necessary when you renew your apportioned license
plates under the International Registration Plan (IRP). An acceptable document used to verify
vehicle mileage is an Individual Vehicle Mileage Record (trip report). A trip report must include
at least the following information:
- Vehicle identification number,
- Starting and ending date of trip,
- Point of origination and destination,
- Intermediate stops,
- Routes of travel,
- Beginning and ending odometer readings of the trip,
- Mileage by jurisdiction,
- Driver's name
- Retail fuel purchase information,
- Information regarding withdrawals of fuel from bulk storage made in connection with the reported trip.
- You must keep a complete record of all fuel purchased or received, including retail purchases and
withdrawals from bulk storage. A receipt or invoice or a credit card receipt showing evidence of purchases and taxes paid
must be retained to support retail "over the road" purchases of fuel. Acceptable receipts must include:
- Date of the purchase,
- Seller's name and address,
- Number of gallons or liters purchased,
- Fuel type,
- Price per gallon or liter,
- Total amount of sale,
- Vehicle unit number, and
- Purchaser's name.
- If bulk fuel is stored, you must maintain records supporting inventory on hand, purchases and withdrawals. Withdrawal records
must contain at least the following:
- Date of withdrawal
- Number of gallons or liters withdrawn
- Fuel type and vehicle unit number
- When do I need to file my tax return?
- DMV will mail a tax return to you each quarter. Reporting periods and deadlines are as follows:
- NOTE: If a filing deadline falls on a weekend or a legal holiday, the next business day becomes the deadline.
|Reporting Period
|Filing Deadline
|January 1 - March 31
|April 30
|April 1 - June 30
|July 31
|July 1 - September 30
|October 31
|October 1 - December 31
|January 31
- What is the penalty if I do not file my tax returns on time?
- Your return and the total tax due must be postmarked or received by DMV by the deadline. If your return is late or you do not submit the total tax due, you will be subject to a late fee of $50 or 10% of the tax due, whichever is greater. Interest will also be assessed regardless of when the payment is received within the month.
- What are taxable miles?
- Taxable miles are the sum total of the miles you traveled in any jurisdiction that are taxable. If a jurisdiction allows any exemptions and you qualify, you may deduct the miles you operated under that exemption from your taxable miles.
- Example: Ohio exempts all two-axle trucks operated without a trailer and two-axle trucks operated with a trailer weighing under 3,000 pounds empty. If any of your operations in Ohio meet this criteria, you may deduct those miles from your taxable miles in Ohio. If you operated under a temporary fuel trip permit, those miles may be deductable depending on exemptions offered by certain jurisdictions.
- Why does Virginia have a surcharge tax?
- Road tax revenues are used to support construction, reconstruction or maintenance of the roads. The philosophy behind a surcharge is that heavier vehicles cause more damage to the highways; therefore, the taxes paid for those vehicles should be higher than the taxes paid for smaller vehicles. There are other jurisdictions that also have a surcharge.
- Are any vehicles exempt in Virginia from paying motor fuel road taxes?
- Yes. The following vehicles are exempt from motor fuel road tax reporting:
- Recreational vehicles,
- The first two trucks or tractor trucks that are licensed in Virginia and are used for farm use only,
- Vehicles owned by a licensed motor vehicle dealer that are operated without compensation for purposes related to a sale or for demonstration, and
- Vehicles or equipment such as well-drills or cranes if the vehicle is not required to display license plates when moved on Virginia highways
- These exemptions may not apply in other jurisdictions and it may be necessary for a Virginia based carrier operating these vehicles to obtain and IFTA license and decal to satisfy jurisdiction requirements where they travel.

According to a new report by In Touch Weekly, Teen Mom 2 "star" Corey Simms might have another baby on the way.
The mag claims Corey's girlfriend of less than 2 months Amber Scaggs, 21, is pregnant, with sources close to Amber revealing she believes Corey is the father. The news is all the more
awful shocking as Corey is still legally married to the mother of his twin girls Leah Messer. In fact, the two only just separated back in mid April.
"She took a pregnancy test and it came out positive," Amber's friend Kacy Lynn Rogers confirms on the record. "I know that she was with Corey around Easter, and she is approximately six weeks pregnant, so it makes sense."
And it appears Corey is unaware of Amber's reported pregnancy (he sure knows now!) because the couple is currently going through a rough patch. "She doesn't have anything to say to him," says another pal of Amber's, who also confirms she is pregnant. "He's been showing his true colors lately. I don't even know if Amber will tell him for a while."
Meanwhile friends of Leah are worried she will lose it once she finds out about the reported pregnancy. "She will really flip out," a pal of Leah's tells In Touch. "She already hates Amber." Amber is also a single mother to 1-year-old daughter Bralyn from a previous relationship.
It however appears Leah became aware of the story on Tuesday, a day before the new In Touch issue came out. She posted the following message on her facebook page this Tuesday, "Lord, Tomorrow is gonna be rough, I'm ready for it to come and gooooooo. Please!" She then posted the following yesterday when the news officially broke, "Today has shown me it's time to start a new beginning for my girls andddd Myself."
More Pictures of Amber Scaggs Below –
UPDATE – Amber Scaggs is denying she is pregnant. She tells the Starcasm blog she and Corey have yet to get physical. "It's not true. It's not even possible for me to be pregnant," states Amber.

Buying a first house was never so appealing
Government incentives, such as tax credits or a $10,000 handout for first-time buyers, make it easier than ever to make the commitment
We all remember the first time. Awkwardness. Apprehension. Racing heart. What if I don't get it right? Yep, losing one's property virginity ranks as one of life's most memorable milestones. I was in my early 20s when I purchased my first house, an experience I have chronicled in previous columns. Apart from a couple of sleepless nights after I signed on the dotted line way back in the '60s, I have never regretted the decision to wave goodbye to landlords and embrace home ownership.
There have, of course, been the occasional stumbling blocks along the way, such as in 1981 when I struggled with a crippling 21-per-cent mortgage. Today, some five-year mortgage rates are under three per cent. I wish I knew then what I know now. Youthful exuberance helped override my fears, and I jumped on to the first rung of the property ladder without learning how to make informed purchase decisions.
There were no Home Ownership 101 courses in which to enrol. Many of my peers and I knew precious little about legal considerations, closing costs, mortgage options or warranties. One of the first things I did when I joined the Greater Vancouver Home Builders' Association was to launch this region's first comprehensive seminar for first-time homebuyers. The annual seminar has helped to demystify the homebuying process for more than 14,500 first-timers over the past 18 years. Young men and women who attended previous seminars occasionally contact me to reflect positively on their experiences. All of them gained a measure of confidence.
This made-in-Canada seminar won an Ideas in Education Award from the Washington D.C.-based National Association of Home Builders, besting 24 competing American entries (easily, from what I was told). How's that for cross-border bragging rights? Anyway, the GVHBA's 19th annual seminar will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, March 19 at the Bell Performing Arts Centre, 6250 144 St. in Surrey. Doors open at 6 p.m. to allow ample time to view builder displays and other home-related products and services, and chat with industry experts.
Thanks to generous sponsors, admission is free. The Homeowner Protection Office branch of BC Housing is the presenting sponsor, while Dominion Macklem Mortgages is the patron sponsor. Corporate sponsors are The Vancouver Sun, The Province, Glacier Media Group, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, Genworth Financial Canada, National Home Warranty, FortisBC, CKNW, 99.3 The Fox, AM730 and Classic Rock 101.
Speakers are Robyn Adamache, CMHC; Narrinder Dhanoya-Bhangu, Genworth Financial Canada; Tom Reeves, National Home Warranty; Gregory van Popta, McQuarrie Hunter LLP; Sandra Wyant, REBGV; Bill Macklem, Dominion Macklem Mortgages; Michael Liu, FortisBC. Seminar moderator is Shayne Ramsay, CEO of BC Housing.
I have been told that prospective first-time homebuyers have been sitting on the fence lately, unsure of whether or not they should, or can afford to, take the purchase plunge. As we all know, there are affordability issues at play in this region, but builders seem to be sharpening their pencils these days.
And if the Bank of Mom and Dad has been tapped out, there are many financial incentives specifically designed for first-time homebuyers. The provincial government offers two incentives. One is a first-time homebuyers' bonus of up to $10,000 on new homes (expires March 31). The second is an exemption of the property transfer tax on new or resale homes priced up to $425,000.
The federal government also lends a hand, offering a first-time homebuyers' tax credit of $750. And if you have managed to contribute to an RRSP account, you are allowed to withdraw, tax free, $25,000 to apply toward a down payment. The withdrawal must be replaced over a 15-year period. Speak with your builder, realtor, mortgage broker or lawyer to find out if you qualify. Now you can see why the seminar for first-time homebuyers is so popular, year after year.
Pre-registration is required. Register online at www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.
There is plenty of free parking and public transit is at the door. Although admission is free, please consider bringing one or two non-perishable food items for the Surrey Food Bank, which helps to feed and clothe families all year, not just during the holidays. If shift work or prior commitments prevent you from attending the seminar, CMHC offers two useful tools to help homebuyers make informed decisions. The first is a debt-service calculator that "allows buyers to evaluate their financial situation and understand how much they can comfortably afford to spend on a mortgage." (Visit www.cmhc.ca and search 'calculator'.)
The second tool is a mobile app that "provides consumers, especially first-time homebuyers, with comprehensive CMHC information and tools." The Ready, Set, Home app — a free application that offers quick and convenient access to CMHC housing data — can be downloaded to a variety of electronic devices at www.cmhc.ca/mobile.

I got an e-mail from this site saying someone had anonymously submitted a report about me. So, using my spam email address (the email address I use to sign up for things so as not to attract spam to my everyday account) I signed up to view it, and never got a reply, for 2 days now.
what I find odd is, if you type random things in to the email search it finds reports, they all vary, but always were submitted at 6:00 - 6:59 am/pm at any given date.
This is a pretty outlandish site, I mean, if the implications are hitting me correctly, it's for profiling people via/ the internet, which correct me if I'm wrong, is illegal due to privacy acts and liable.
Anyway, what are some of the resident security buffs opinion on this site?
PS: If this is in the wrong part of the forum, sorry, tried my best to find the right place for it.

The Romantic Revival
> Hazlitts early years
His later life
The Cambridge History of English and American Literature in 18 Volumes
Volume XII. The Romantic Revival.
§ 1. Hazlitts early years.
OF the group of romantic writers whose work appeared chiefly in the magazines of the first quarter of the nineteenth century, no one led an existence more detached than William Hazlitt. By temperament, he loved isolation, delighting to go alone on his walks into the country so that he might turn over in his mind some favourite abstract proposition and try to analyse, for his own gratification, some peculiar phase of human nature. In thinking upon political affairs he had assumed a position at variance with that held by most contemporary Englishmen. He wilfully placed himself, writes De Quincey, in collision with all the interests that were in the sunshine of this world and with all the persons that were then powerful in England. That he was not popular did not, however, make him, like Swift, a cynic. He had no high social ambitions which could not be realised. No man was ever more free from the desire of political preferment. Apparently, his highest aim was to write in a manner that would satisfy himself. Disappointment came to him when he saw others treat lightly convictions to which he clung with desperate earnestness. He was embittered when he discovered a friend wavering in his loyalty to a cherished ideal or when some one spoke with derision of his idols, especially of Rousseau, Napoleon, or the principles of the French revolution. With almost everybody worth knowing in London he became acquainted, but he quarrelled with all, so that when he died, in 1830, only Charles Lamb stood at his bedside. If we really learn to understand this isolated temperament, we shall find an admirable strain of courage and honesty, a conspicuous lack of double-dealing in a time when it might have been of temporary advantage for him to have trimmed his sails to the varying winds. No less a man than Charles Lamb discovered the real heart; for he wrote to Southey:
I should belie my own conscience if I said less than that I think W. H. to be in his natural and healthy state one of the wisest and finest spirits breathing. So far from being ashamed of that intimacy which was betwixt us, it is my boast that I was able for so many years to have preserved it entire, and I think I shall go to my grave without finding, or expecting to find, such another companion.
Some light may be thrown upon Hazlitts temperament and upon his antagonistic attitude toward the prevailing opinions of his day by a recital of some of the incidents of his life. From his forbears, he inherited traditions of dissent. His paternal ancestors had come originally from Holland to Ireland. There, the elder William Hazlitt was born and grew to be a man of strong character, destined to impress those with whom he associated. He received the masters degree from the university of Glasgow, where he established for himself a reputation for liberal views on religion and politics. He married the daughter of a nonconformist ironmonger and began his career as a unitarian minister. Wherever his profession took him, he attracted men of such intellectual ability as Priestley and Benjamin Franklin and achieved more than local fame on account of his powers of discussion. At Maidstone, William Hazlitt, the future essayist, was born on 10 April, 1778. From Maidstone, the family moved to Bandon, county Cork, Ireland, where the father aroused the suspicions of the townspeople by an apparently too great devotion to the cause of the American soldiers in Kinsale prison. Recognising his increasing unpopularity, he decided to try his fortunes in America. Like many a radical of his day, he believed that there his ideals of liberty would become a reality. His three years in America present shifting scenes ending in disappointment and a determination that his family should return to England. In the following winter (17878), the father was called to the little church at Wem, near Shrewsbury. For more than a quarter of a century, the Hazlitts lived in this remote village. Most of the years between the age of ten and twenty-two, young William spent at Wem. So far, there is little indication of what the future had in keeping for the son of the poor, obscure, dissenting minister. The diary written by his sister Margaret in America attests his delight in the long walks across country with his father in Massachusetts. Numerous references in his essays describe with enthusiasm the pleasure which he found in walking with his father in the country about Wem and in talking on metaphysical subjects.
The other influence which seems with increasing years to have grown into a passion is the impression of nature upon him. His eye was ever turned out of the window. In his own garden at Wem, he watched with a sympathy akin to Thoreaus the broccoli plants and kidney beans of his own rearing. His tramps led him into all parts of Shropshire, to Peterborough, and into Wales. Nature was company enough for him. Although he afterwards wrote much and well about books, he always associated everything with outdoor lifebooks which he had read, churches or pictures which he had seen, people whom he had met. Even the battles of Napoleon had such associations:
On the same day the news of the battle of Austerlitz came; I walked out in the afternoon and, as I returned, saw the evening star set over a poor mans cottage with other thoughts and feelings than I shall ever have again.
He struggled long and hard to find himself and his place in the world. When he was fifteen, he was sent by his father to the nonconformist theological seminary at Hackney. There, he found a deal of metaphysics to his liking, and, also, soon discovered that the ministry was not to be his calling. Fortunately for him, his brother John was a portrait-painter in London working under the direction of Sir Joshua Reynolds. To his brothers studio, William made frequent visits and became enamoured of the profession of painting. He was more than ever in doubt what to do. After an unsuccessful year at school, he returned to Wem. He could not preach, he would like to paint, he wished to write but could not. I was at that time dumb, inarticulate, helpless like a worm by the wayside. One day, in 1796, he found a copy of Burkes
Letter to a Noble Lord.
For the first time, he felt what it must be to write, to be able to convey the slightest conception of my meaning to others in words. Then, a new light shone into his soul. He met Coleridge, heard him preach, walked and talked with him and was invited to visit him at Nether Stowey and to meet Wordsworth. What this meant for Hazlitt he has described, with the charm of a poet, in
My First Acquaintance with Poets,
one of the finest essays in the language. As if from a dream, the young man of twenty arose with a resolution that the greatest discouragements could not shake off. Not quite ready to give up painting, he spent a little while with his brother in London. He crossed to the Louvre, where, for several months, he made copies of the masters for friends at home and actually went about in northern England painting portraits of his father, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Lamb and others.

Fabulous Freo Frolic Adventure
Food Loose Tours
Saturday, 21 October 2017 from 11:00 am to 2:30 pm (AWST)
Event Details
Just a train ride from the CBD, the historic port city of Fremantle is a must-visit location for both visitors and locals alike. Absolutely choc full of stunning architecture, rich history, cracking coffee, fantastic food and scintillating street art all wrapped up in laid back bohemian atmosphere, it really does have it all. Over the course of the tour you'll be guided through some of its hidden gems, local institutions and new eating & drinking hot spots as you soak in the seaside surroundings, learn about its history as the first settlement in Western Australia, experience the impact of the Italian immigrant community and - most importantly of all - eat loads of amazing food with your fellow Food Loosers..
This, however, will not be your typical walking tour.It's all about interacting with fellow participants to share cuisines, stories and fun. Your guide will point out a few points of interest along the way and suggest things to order at each venue, but beyond that you are free to explore and experiment as much or as little as your hearts desire.
The cost of the guided tour has a tour price of $39. You need to bring approx $25 in coins and small notes with you to purchase the international delights along the way. We promise this will ensure you taste all the great cuisines on offer. At the end of the tour you'll not only have a full belly but you will have met a whole new group of people and explored Fremantle's cuisine and the history of this great port city.
Please note that all our tours have a 48hr notice policy for rescheduling.
FAQs - International Walking Food Adventure

Food Loose Tours
Our tour guides are unashamedly foodies. This includes growing up experiencing many different cuisines (ie nasi le mak from the school canteen!), a curry in London and the delights of Polish neighbours we all have passion for food together with an unsatiable appetite to hunt out new, unknown and interesting food outlets.

Why say it when you can wear it? At least that seems to be the motto for these celebs heading to the gym. We break down Hollywood's workout wardrobe, one message tee at a time.
1. Christina Aguilera
Xtina wants the world to know she is one taken woman and proud of it. Sometimes you just have to say it with #love.
2. Alessandra Ambrosio
We feel you on that one Alessandra! Do we ever really need an excuse to take a vacation? (Pssst—her "Paradise Please" tank is available at junkfoodclothing.com for $38!)
3. Cara Santana
Well, Cara's definitely our muse for getting in shape! Jesse Metcalfe is a fan and so are we.
4. Bella Thorne
We would move our bodies too if it would mean looking like this senorita!
5. Jennifer Lopez
J.Lo is a huge fan of Peace Love World's stuff, but we have to admit this "Hola Amor" tee is by far our favorite. We're pretty sure Casper's not mad at it either.

Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) is one of the top ten largest retailers in the U.S. by sales. Target generated revenue through sales of apparel, electronics, housewares and other product categories through both online operations and the Target stores in the U.S.[1] Target has carved out a niche for itself as a "cheap chic" retailer.
In January 2011, Target took its first step in expanding outside of the US with the purchase of 220 Zellers stores in Canada. Target plans to convert 100 to 150 of these stores by 2013 or 2014, with revenues similar to those of its US counterparts.[2] Target also started REDcard promotions with its credit card program, which could increase its revenues. However, rising commodity prices may offset these gains.

A three-day outbreak of twisters and other violent weather that pulverized homes from the Midwest to the Deep South has killed at least 35 people. Here are some stories from people in Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama who made it through the frightening chaos.
In one hard-hit community, Mars Hill, about 12 miles southwest of Louisville, Miss., a mix of poultry farms, mobile homes, single-family homes, and open fields dot the landscape. William Quinn, 25, was removing valuables from his flattened mobile home that overlooked the Pine Ridge Farm.
Quinn recalled seeing the tornado approach on Monday and running with his fiancee more than 100 yards to his boss's house, also located near the farm. Quinn, his fiancee, his boss, and his boss's daughter all hid under the house as the tornado blew over.
"The tornado was here. We could see it. It was kind of a grayish purple," he said. Everyone survived though the boss's house suffered heavy damage.
Quinn's mobile home was nothing but rubble.
When the TVs switched back from tornado warnings to regular programming, Darrell Haney thought his community outside Fayetteville, Tenn., was out of the woods. Then, live weather reports cut back in, warning of a possible tornado as little as a minute away from his home.
Haney quickly retrieved two grandchildren and huddled in an interior bathroom with his wife, daughter and son-in-law. Almost immediately, he said, a tree crashed into a front room where one of the children had been sleeping. Then the roof was lifted off of the master bedroom.
"You know, the house is being torn apart around you, and we're just crying out, 'God protect us,'" Haney said Tuesday. "Because at that point you're totally hopeless and helpless."
Surveying the damage, the pastor and a school bus driver tried to put a positive light on the destruction, which included his nearby church and the school bus.
"Everything's gone," he said. "But the main thing is, everyone's OK, the lives are taken care of."
Fred Muawad has been through this before. Three years ago, his popular Daylight Donuts in Vilonia, Ark., survived a tornado.
This time, it didn't. The strong twister that struck the town of 3,800 on Sunday virtually wiped away the strip mall that housed Muawad's small shop.
He didn't have insurance and wasn't sure if the strip mall would be rebuilt or whether he would reopen. One thing was for sure: Vilonia was behind him.
"This community has been great to me — we've been one big family for 11 years," Muawad said Tuesday. "We've been through good times and bad."
The bad has happened twice in three years. Two twisters hitting the same town three years apart may seem a cruel twist of fate, but people in this exurb of Little Rock said the kindness and warmth of the people trumps anything Mother Nature can throw at them.
One of the hardest-hit areas in Louisville, Miss., was the dozen-building Eiland Plaza apartment complex, where authorities were still limiting access Tuesday.
Yolanda Triplett was in her ground-floor apartment Monday when the tornado hit.
"I was laying on my couch and I heard it," Triplett said. "So I went to my hall closet and that's where I was when it hit."
When Triplett came out, her apartment and belongings were shredded.
"I had no windows, water was in there, bricks on the outside were torn off," she said.
Triplett was one of 71 people who stayed in an American Red Cross shelter at Louisville's First Baptist Church on Monday night. Like some other residents of the apartment complex, she hadn't figured out yet Tuesday where she would go. "Not yet," she said.
Mark Wade and his family heard the dire warnings on TV and the tornado sirens, and were prepared to ride out the storm in their closet when a neighbor across the street on Vilonia's Aspen Creek Drive in Arkansas, yelled out: "Come over! We're going in the storm cellar!"
So Wade, his wife and 3-year-old son joined 10 other people and seven dogs in a cramped underground shelter Sunday evening. When they emerged, their homes were gone. All gone. Stripped to the foundation.
"If we hadn't gone to that cellar I don't know if we would be here," Wade, 28, said Monday, picking through the debris of what was once his home.
Along back roads of East Mississippi, the town of Noxapater, estimated pop. 470, has a 16-member volunteer fire department led by 74-year-old D. J. Reed.
Reed wore a well-used baseball cap and neon yellow vest with "Noxapater Fire" written on it Tuesday as he and other volunteer firefighters remained watchful for any more storms. He and others had spent hours clearing fallen trees from roads and helping with rescue and recovery efforts.
"I'm going to tell you what — it's just plain disastrous," Reed said, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Reed, a slim man with tough hands, was born and raised in the area. He built forklifts before he retired. Now he runs the fire department, which has a few emergency vehicles, and is the go-to man for all things Noxapater. He even mows the green areas in the town.
Right after the tornado, Reed thought the main problem would be removing trees from homes. Then it became a search-and-rescue mission after word came of the injured and dead.
"That's when it strikes you more, when it's people you know all your life," he said.
After the tornado pounced on Tupelo, Miss., one gas station looked as if it had been stepped on by a giant. Francis Gonzalez owns a convenience store and Mexican restaurant attached to that station. Gonzalez, her three children and two employees ducked for cover in the store's cooler shortly after a cellphone blared a tornado warning.
Within seconds, the wind picked up and glass shattered. The roof over the gas pumps was reduced to aluminum shards. A nearby SUV had its windows blown out. The storefront window had a large hole in it. Debris lay everywhere.
Stunned by the destruction all around, she said in Spanish: "My Lord, how can all this happen in just one second?"
Associated Press writers Erik Schelzig in Fayetteville, Tenn.; Adrian Sainz in Tupelo, Miss.; Jeff Amy in Louisville, Miss.; Jack Elliott Jr. and Emily Wagster Pettus in Jackson, Miss.; Jay Reeves in Birmingham, Ala.; and Jim Salter and Andrew DeMillo in Vilonia, Ark., contributed to this report.
