Here comes another 2 sided storm system, meaning it has both a winter side and a spring side to it.
On Monday, severe thunderstorms, including supercells, are expected to develop late in the day across northwestern to north-central Texas and western Oklahoma with large hail and a few tornadoes possible. Additional strong to severe storms may also flare up farther east, from eastern Texas into the Ark-La-Tex region, and farther north into Kansas.
Severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and tornadoes will remain possible through the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday. These storms should merge into an intense squall line, which will track across north and central Texas, Oklahoma and southern Kansas. A broad area of thunderstorms with heavy rain will flare up well to the east, from the Ozarks to the mid-Mississippi Valley and lower Ohio Valley.
On Tuesday, severe thunderstorms will continue from eastern Texas and eastern Oklahoma to Arkansas, southern Misssouri, Louisiana and eventually Mississippi. Although the most widespread threat will be damaging winds with a persistent squall line, tornadoes remain possible, especially with any storms that form well ahead of an advancing cold front.
Overnight, the risk of severe thunderstorms may spread as far east as Alabama and southwest Tennessee. On Wednesday, any lingering severe threat will depend on how much instability remains with the system as it moves northeast. Right now, it appears that a few severe storms could fire from eastern Mississippi into Alabama, southeast Louisiana, the Florida panhandle and possibly parts of Georgia.
The latest model data shows the squall line impacting west Alabama by sunrise and central Alabama by the mid morning hours.
The question all along remains how much instability will be in place by the time the line arrives. We think the greatest will set up across south Alabama and that's where the greatest chance for severe storms including tornadoes and strong winds will be possible on Wednesday.
There still may be enough instability that develops as far north as I-20 for a few severe storms on Wednesday.
The greatest versus slight chance zones could easily shift farther north or south and that's why we urge you to keep up with the latest forecasts as we track this developing winter/spring-like storm system. The best way is through the WBRC First Alert Weather App.

My passion for research began at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, where I received my bachelor's degree in 2006. After Southwestern, I honed my quantitative and methodological skills in a masters of experimental psychology program at the University of Texas at San Antonio. During my masters training, I began to study close relationships, particularly communication and idealization in romantic relationships and sexual risk taking. In 2015, I received my Ph.D. from the University at Buffalo, SUNY, where I trained under the guidance of Drs. Sandra Murray and Shira Gabriel. My research program examines how people's personal goal pursuits outside their relationships influence their goal pursuits in their relationships (and vice versa). From 2015-2016 I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Aberdeen, where I studied the psychology of being forgotten in social interactions. Currently I work at the University of Texas at Austin, where I study how romantic partners' personality characteristics influence how people cope with stress.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, eating out, hiking, biking, and playing with my dog and two cats.

There are personal films, and then there are personal films. Minneapolis filmmaker Shelli Ainsworth's "Stay Then Go," a project she has nurtured for a decade, is nothing less than a sample of her DNA on-screen.
The film, premiering regionally at 7 p.m. Friday at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival, is a fictionalized portrait of her relationship with her autistic son, Dietrich.
"Stay Then Go" is Ainsworth's feature debut. Writing and directing it have been a long personal voyage. Her short films have appeared on PBS and at festivals and museums worldwide, and she is the recipient of grants and fellowships from the NEA, ITVS and the Bush, Jerome and McKnight Foundations. Yet this story, which she knew so well, presented specific challenges.
"I couldn't crack the code on it," she said. "It would have been so easy to make a documentary on Dietrich and coming of age and [autism] advocacy. Just easy-peasy. Cakewalk. But I'm not a documentary filmmaker, nor was I ever interested in making a literal, based-on-a-true-story movie. What I wanted to do was to take on as an artist a story that was truest to the emotional life of my experience."
That meant developing a nonlinear structure and poetic tone allowing her to explore the difficult emotional realities of her loving and challenging relationship with her eldest son. "Developing some distance between that character and me was a rocky mountaintop journey," she said. After two years of deliberation, she crafted her first shooting script for the film in 2007.
The film examines issues of guardianship and questions of how deeply invested you can be in the outcome of your child's life. It stars Janel Moloney (of "The West Wing") as a mother reviewing memories of her autistic son as she awaits his release from the hospital after a traffic accident. There, she comes to terms with her efforts to "take care of him and protect him throughout his young adult life in a way that she can't possibly do anymore."
Ainsworth calls the story "an emotional mystery that examines the limits of love and sacrifice. Taking care of him kind of becomes her second life."
It's a story she knows firsthand. As a child and young man, Dietrich found the world a challenging and mysterious place whose rules and routines seemed to elude him. His bond with his mother was strong, and so was his dependency. His emotional, social, therapeutic and academic needs and long-term prospects were for years a major focus of Ainsworth's existence.
"Stay Then Go" is more than a disability drama, Ainsworth said. "It deals with issues of sacrifice. Are there limits to sacrifice?" After a pause, she said, "I kind of think not."
"A therapist a long time ago said to us, 'You can choose to have an autistic household. Or you can choose to have a household where a loved one has autism.' I picked the second one, had two other children and tried to keep my hand in with my career."
Now 26, Dietrich is living in a city apartment with assistance. His autism presents itself most strongly in terms of his struggles with language. He works as an artist, and his paintings have been exhibited by several local galleries. Like many a 26-year-old, he yearns for independence and a girlfriend.
"I wanted to make this movie to go out to people that Dietrich and I might encounter in the elevator," Ainsworth said. "And if Dietrich's humming or rocking, instead of that person being annoyed, if they saw 'Stay Then Go' their consciousness might be opened ever so slightly."

A North American standard twin-sized mattress measures 39 inches wide by 75 inches long. A twin-XL mattress, which accommodates taller sleepers, measures 39 inches by 80 inches.
Mattress thickness, or height, varies depending on the amount of padding and other manufacturer specifications. In other countries, standard twin mattress sizes are typically 1 to 6 inches narrower and shorter than the North American mattresses. All mattresses are made slightly smaller to fit inside standard bed frames. Many mattress manufacturers also offer custom-sized alternatives to fit specialty or antique bed frames. Twin-sized mattresses are commonly used in guest rooms, bunk beds, day beds and dormitories or other small spaces.

PS3 firmware 4.11 hits today
It hasn't been all that long since the release of the PS3's firmware 4.10 update, but today brings the release of the firmware 4.11 update. Happy (belated) Valentine's, gamers!
So, what's new? Uh, not all that much. According to the PlayStation Blog, the update simply "improves certain aspects of system software" and isn't even a mandatory update in the US and Canada. The EU does have to download it though, oddly enough.
Next week when the Vita's out (finally!) we're expecting a bit more firmware fun.

Snell's Orthotics-Prosthetics was established in 1911 as Snell's Limbs and Braces, Inc., by the current owner's grandfather, R.W. (Pop) Snell.
Jim (J.D.) Snell, the middle of Pop's three sons, came to Shreveport in 1939. Jim Snell stood 6'8", and according to a colorful retrospective written by Charlie Davis, the man who served as his company's office manager for 49 years, "Big Jim" arrived in Shreveport with $300 in his pocket.
Despite the difficult times of the Great Depression, when many patients could not afford to pay for prostheses and orthoses and no government funding was available, the Snell business managed to survive. In 1948 Snell developed a process for making leg braces from aluminum that was heat treated after shaping, with steel bushings at the knee and ankle joints. The idea was so revolutionary that it took years before the industry was convinced that aluminum could be effectively used to create lightweight leg braces.
The polio epidemic of 1951 and 1952 required 24-7 service from employees to meet the tremendously increased need for braces.
Today, Jim Snell's son, W. Clint Snell, CPO and president, leads the company as a third-generation practitioner with 42 years' experience in O&P. He assumed full ownership of the business in 1976, and is well-known throughout North Louisiana and highly respected in the prosthetics and orthotics field for his expertise and his commitment to O&P education. He conducts classes at colleges and medical schools in Louisiana and provides in-service training and lectures on O&P patient management to the Louisiana medical community. He maintains ongoing patient care in addition to directing the management and long-range planning and policymaking of Snell's Orthotics-Prosthetics.

Getting into God's Word
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
Throughout the Old Testament God routinely spoke to people. In these thirty-nine books He gave them instructions and promises with conditions. Some people understood what He was saying, others didn't. Some tried to live by it with varying degrees of success, while others rejected it and decided to do their own thing. Then God did something truly incredible: 'The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, generous inside and out, true from start to finish' (v. 14). Jesus was a living Bible! John tells us, '…The Word was God' (v.1), so the more you get into the Word and get it into you, the more of God you're depositing within you. You say, 'But sometimes I don't get much out of reading the Bible.' A word to the wise: when you start studying the Bible, don't do it to find some new truth nobody else has ever seen. Do it with the attitude, 'Lord, what are You saying to me?' The problem most of us have isn't interpreting the difficult passages; it's obeying the ones we already understand! The Word of God provides you with two things: 1) Protection. The Psalmist said, 'Unless Your law had been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction. I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have given me life' (Psalms 119:92-93). 2) Direction. 'Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path' (v.105). Do you need direction? Do you need protection? Get into God's Word.
Heavenly Father, Your written Word draws me closer to You, the Living Word. Thank You for being in relationship with me. In Jesus' Name, Amen

A Las Olas Boulevard sneakers and clothing boutique is stirring up a some fashion competition in South Florida. The Archives is giving 10 local fashion designers the chance to showcase their products at a weekly in-store, pop-up event and to compete for $1,500 and shelf space at the store. The contest is dubbed Project: ARCHVS.
Each contestant has a single Thursday night to make their case. They must build hype around the brand using their marketing and social media skills, lure in potential customers, and prove to the store the brand is worthy of being presented there.
Boca Raton resident Stevan Brenner is one of 10 finalists selected from more than 100 applicants. The 20-year-old owns .RAW Apparel LLC, which sells T-shirts and hats made from recycled materials.
"I'm just amped up to have this opportunity," said Brenner, a junior at the University of South Florida.
Brenner's showcase was Thursday night. More than 100 people attended, including family, friends, classmates and store regulars.
In the weeks leading up to his presentation, Brenner promoted the event on social media and reached out to personal contacts.
"I've been doing a lot of cold calling to old friends," he said.
All designers are given a boost by The Archives, which provides some promotional material, entertainment, food and drinks for each showcase.
In September, after a 10-week series of presentations, a panel of judges will select a winner.
"Every brand needs to start somewhere," said Brad Minto, the owner of Archives.
Minto said that since he opened the store in 2012, he's had a steady stream of local designers seeking to pitch their products. He organized Project: ARCHVS as a way to create a fair selection process for local brands.

February 2015 had full of so many stories. From writing, to flowers, to museums, to disappointments, to errands, to places, to friends, to studies, and to active job-hunting.
Today is the first of March 2015, four weeks to go and my teaching contract is about to end. My idealism is being eaten up and as I go with the flow, I might just wake up corrupted already. I had gone weak and hopeless. I don't want to end up being beaten by this system.
A few more days and I still don't have a concrete plan about how will I live my life after my classroom days are over.
My father was very subtle in asking me about it earlier during lunch time. "Ano bang balak mo?".... "Ano ba talagang gusto mo?".... "Ipagpapatuloy mo pa ba ang pag-aaral mo?"
My tears started to fall. He was obviously right. At my age, I was supposed to be a somebody by now. I would have been a somebody by now, had I not changed jobs. But the two years experience I had with the organization I am in right now is something that I don't regret.
It is actually something I am proud of. Working with wonderful people, meeting amazing minds and dreaming big for this nation. Talking to CEOs of big companies and start up companies and being mentored by one of the most powerful lady in the country. Yeah, she keeps herself on low profile, but her influence is enormous.
But still, going back to the issue, how do I package myself now to the direction that I wanted to take. I will always be an advocate of education for every Filipino because definitely, ignorance is the reason why we are poor.
After eating Jolly Spaghetti and 3 rolls of shanghai and a serious conversation with Emil, I was able to calm myself. We are both on the same boat, but for him, he knows what path he wants to thread. He asked me the same question his father asked him back in December, when he was having his own dilemma. "How do you measure your success?"
How do I measure my success? As far as I know, I may be penniless but I am happy. I am just lost because of pressure and insecurity not because I don't know what I want. I want to build a career around the Finance Sector primarily, but I also think I would have a great career in the Development Sector as it is also aligned with my MA course at the moment. But still, I want to go back to the corporate sector. See? I know what I want. I'm just a little bit confused how do I package myself and where do I start again. After all, starting something is always one of the hardest part. At the moment, it is the letting go and the starting over again.
Having such a loving family makes me want to provide more for them. So much more because they deserve it. Gotta make up my mind with that career path. With prayers and right conversations, I know I will get there. I have no choice but to get there anyway.
I can't wait to see how March unfolds for me.
I have an interview tomorrow at 1pm.

Experts run your marketing department. A CFO with post-graduate degrees handles your money. And your musicians are at the apogee of artistry. But when it comes to your orchestra's digital-media initiatives, who does the work? Until recently, it might have been the intern. But things are changing—fast—and what was once relegated to the sidelines or handled ad hoc is now a central means for connecting with audiences, communities, and the larger world.
So what does it take for an orchestra to develop effective social-media strategies? Three different sessions at the League's National Conference in Minneapolis will explore the role of social media at orchestras, delving into everything from the basics to guiding principles.
Social-media guru Beth Kanter will lead or co-lead the Conference sessions. Kanter co-founded Zoetica, a company that serves nonprofits and socially conscious companies with online marketing services. A conservatory-trained classical flutist and former orchestra administrator, she writes Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media, one of the longest-running blogs for nonprofits, and co-authored The Networked Nonprofit: Connecting with Social Media to Drive Change with Allison Fine (J. Wiley, 2010).
We caught up with the energetic Kanter as she prepared for the League Conference.
Robert Sandla: What attracted to you to these Conference sessions?
Beth Kanter: I trained as a classical flutist, but when I figured out that I would not soon be sitting in the first chair at the Boston Symphony Orchestra, I worked there in administrative capacities. I've made half my career at orchestras, doing fundraising, marketing, and development. For several years, I was general manager of Boston's Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra. So it's always fun to present my ideas to arts organizations—particularly to symphony orchestras, because I can use a picture of me playing the flute years ago. I just did a presentation to the Association of French Orchestras through Skype—they were in Paris.
Sandla: Why should orchestras embrace social media?
Kanter: Social media is not a fad; it's here to stay. Many nonprofits and orchestras recognize that the media landscape is changing—it's not just three television channels and some newspapers any more. Newspapers are disappearing, and the job of music critic is disappearing as well. It's difficult to get young people to come to concerts, although that has always been difficult. Orchestras are always reaching out for new audiences, and they are changing with the times. It's a new world out there. So we need to be thinking forward. And it's better to have a strategy and have developed your network and not get caught by surprise. During the strike at the Detroit Symphony, people were publicly commenting on the musicians' pages and the orchestras' pages, which shows that the people formerly known as the audience know how to use media channels, too. Don't let it catch you by surprise. Why not have a strategy and be ready for it?
Sandla: Do smaller orchestras have the capacity to deal with social media?
Kanter: Smaller guys have an advantage, probably because they have more agility. The tools for the most part are free, but it does take time. But you are building up an audience and reaching out to people in an inexpensive way. Who has $50,000 for an ad in The New York Times? Now you can be your own New York Times. You can be your own media channel. Small organizations are often lean and agile. You hope that they have the ability to respond and reap the rewards.
Sandla: On a personal level, do you live on your apps and on the Web?
Kanter: No, I'd go crazy if I did that. You could if you wanted to. Social media is unstructured information; like the Web, it's nonlinear and can be endless. You could post a million things on Facebook and look at friends' cat pictures and follow every tweet. But that is not a productive use of time. So many people feel that if you are not 20 years old, dealing with new media can feel overwhelming. But once you learn the lay of the land and workflow, it does not take much time. I determine the particular workflow that I have to get done. When I use Twitter, I set a structured schedule and then go on to the next thing. We all have other work that has to get done.
Sandla: Are orchestras' social-media programs driven by marketing imperatives, by a desire to connect with audiences, or by something else?
Kanter: They usually start in marketing or fundraising or some externally facing part of the organization. Social media can be useful for getting feedback, doing research with audiences about a program or program planning. You can find out what people like and dislike, and what you might try. Some organizations have everyone on staff doing social media, cutting across departments for different purposes. With more and more board members getting iPads, imagine having a board meeting at which they seek input and tweet out a question.

Did you enjoy your weekend?
Mine was just great....I spent it with some of my closest friends and I loved it.
I'm not sure if you know this, but I have been importing the beautiful
Raven hanger
into the UK from Iceland and have been working
hard to get the product stocked in the UK.
My efforts have really paid off as they are now in
many Scandinavian/home interior stores and also in the
past couple of weeks we launched in
Of course I am very happy with that as I think it is
probably the best store in London and maybe even the world.
The Raven is an iconic design piece in Iceland and is prevalent
in stores all over Scandinavia and Europe..Ingibjörg is exhibiting at the
Stockholm Furniture Fair (with the Ravens and other products),
so if you are there, pop over and say hello!
My aim is to have the Raven in every Scandinavian/home
accessory store in the UK, so if you are a UK retailer
looking for an iconic new product, please get in touch ♡

We have been open in York since 2009 and cater for over 600 families in and around York. We've had the best time ever getting the Nurseries up and running. Lots of learnings, adventures and sheer inspiration. At the heart of everything we do is the care and nurturing of our Rascals.

The Team
Every member of our wonderful highly qualified team strive each and every day to go that bit further in giving the children in our care the most fantastic day! Be it in the Forest, doing art, playing, cooking or looking after our animals. We want to negate that guilt felt by parents when leaving their precious ones in childcare. We are here to answer any questions, to guide and support and to listen when you have suggestions or worries.
My family and I are woven into the sheer substance of Little Green Rascals, it is most definitely a family affair. We all feel very blessed to have met and worked with so many amazing families and staff. I believe passionately that running a good business is impossible without ensuring that high ethical standards are practised at every level of the company's day-to-day running.
I think businesses should act responsibly with a moral code of conduct driven by strong values and a sense of contribution towards society, not just focused on money, growth and greed. Little Green Rascals believes that it is possible to run a successful business that has a positive impact on society. Its philosophy has its roots in the following values:
- treating staff and producers fairly
- respecting the environment
- championing a sustainable way of life
- doing business with small, independent producers

Moffat, BSc, MA, FRCS AbstractTo the best of our knowledge, only 3 cases of a simultaneous vestibular schwannoma and a glomus jugulare tumor have been previously reported in the literature. In all 3 cases, the lesions were located on the same side. We report a new case of simultaneous vestibular schwannoma and glomus jugulare tumor that is unique in that the two lesions arose on opposite sides. The glomus tumor was treated with embolization followed by radiotherapy, while the schwannoma was managed via radiologic observation.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. ~ Mark 10:45
Not long ago I saw a post on social media. It brought back a lot of great memories. I remember how they were when they showed up at our church, and I remember how our people served them. It was like watching 1 John 3:18 played out, "Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth." I remember watching as they become part, got excited about Jesus, and began to serve others rather than just being served themselves. It was one of those stories that you sit around and say, "God, you're good. You're right. You used your people to restore these people."
The post also renewed the pain. See, after all that, they went back. All that work. All that prayer. All that service. It all bore fruit. They were transformed. They moved from being desperately in need to meeting needs in the name of Christ. And then they went back. They began to drift in devotion to the church family. They began to drift in devotion to God. Another crisis came and they stopped serving others, devoting all their attention to themselves. People reaching out again, serving, praying, encouraging, but it got harder. It got harder because they never responded. It also got harder because even the greatest servants are still human. And, after awhile, it's hard to keep serving people who seem to take and take and never give.
The post reminded me of one of the greatest challenges of servanthood. It's the one that happens when you've served and served and it seems your service, your love, and your caring was wasted. I saw their post, and I was angry. I wasn't angry at God. I was angry at them. I was resentful that our church had done so much for them and they had responded like they had.
So, I sat down to write this. I sat down to remind myself about the only pure motive for servanthood. We're told that people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. We're told that people don't respond to the Gospel anymore until they have seen it in our lives, and that we are to build relationships with them - we are to serve them.
We are to serve them, but it's not our service that saves. Only the Gospel saves. We are to love, but it's not our love that saves. It's only the love of Christ fulfilled on the Cross and believed upon after hearing this same good news. We are to serve and to love. We should hope and pray that others see the love of Christ in our love and our service. But, never delude yourself into thinking that those you serve owe you. They owe you nothing, but you owe Him everything.
Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. We should never serve someone so they will serve us, even if that service is becoming a believer and part of our church. I think there may even be some twisted pseudo-Christian ethic deep inside us that thinks that people "should" believe in Jesus because "we" have been so loving to them. Yes we want them to believe. But, we must guard against any thought that we had anything to do with their belief.
Everything we do we do for His glory, not ours. People only truly believe when they believe in the only true love - the love God expressed pristinely in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. People are only saved because of His love, not ours. So, the only motivation that works for the child of God is the love of God. We must serve others because He first loved us and so we love Him. All other motivations will be revealed in resentment or discouragement. Why? Because most of the people we serve and preach to will not believe in Him. The road to destruction is broad and many are on it. The road to eternal life is narrow and few there are who find it.
So, if you have ever wondered if your service has been in vain, check your motive. Did you serve so they would join your church, or even so they would profess faith in Christ? Did you become their friend so they would become yours? Or, did you serve because you are a sinner loved and saved by a gracious God?
Your purpose is to serve, not to be served. To love, whether they believe or not. Your purpose is to love the one who loved you first. Any other motivation that the love of Christ, will result in your downfall. You will become jaded at best, resentful at worst. And, if you quit serving you will become small in the kingdom, for the greatest in the kingdom are those who serve.
When your service seems wasted, remember Christ. They took all His love and put Him on the cross. Still He loved them, and He will empower you to love them as well. Keep your love for Him front and center. Every time you give a cup of water, give it to Him.

Davy Spillane was born in Dublin in
1959, were he completed his entire education in the Irish language,
and while at school learnt the tin whistle and uilleann pipes. Although
there is no tradition of playing Irish music in his family, Davy
was constantly exposed to music and as a piper he was both influenced
and inspired by masters of uilleann piping Seamus Ennis, Leo Rowsome
and Johnny Doran. Davy also feels that his music was shaped by both
the Keenan and Furey families and by his playing with musicians
like Liam Weldon, Tommy Peoples and Johnny Keenan.
At the age of eighteen he appeared in a BFT film called
'The Traveller' in which he played a lead role in a story about
a travelling band of Gypsies. Shortly afterwards he teamed up with
Christy Moore, Donal Lunny and others to form one of Ireland's most
influential groups Moving Hearts.
During his time with Tara, Davy assembled a core
band of some of Ireland's finest musicians including Anthony Drennan
on guitar, James Delaney on keyboards, Tony Molloy on bass and Paul
Moran on drums and percussion. As well as playing on the recordings
they were a formidable touring outfit, receiving massive acclaim
from promoters, audiences and critics alike for their performances
at concert halls and festivals throughout the UK and Europe.
Alastair Clark reviews the 1989 Edinburgh International
Folk Festival for The Scotsman
"The Shamrock ruled OK on the opening night
of the Edinburgh International Folk Festival which just happened
to be St. Patrick's Night a splendid excuse for the festival director,
Archie Fisher, to put one of his favourite Irish groups, the Davy
Spillane Band, on stage at the Queen's Hall.
In terms of sheer logistics, this seemed a rather dodgy exercise,
because the Irishmen had to get all their folk-rock paraphernalia
organised immediately after a jazz session by Chick Corea.
They managed it with minutes to spare, and so, for the second time
in one evening, the hall was filled to capacity. I hope some of
the jazz lovers stayed for Spillane. The ex-Moving Hearts man was
in peak form.
Backed by a rocking drums, keyboards and electric and bass guitar,
he didn't attempt to play jazz, but there was an affinity, nevertheless,in
the bluesy, vocal sounds he coaxed from the uilleann pipes and in
his irrepressible urge to use traditional themes as a springboard
for thrilling, inventive flights. He Soared, He swooped, he conquered.
There was something jazz-like too, about the way Anthony Drennan,
on lead guitar, would pick up his closing phrases and toy with them
before launching into his own embellishments.
They finished off with a 12 - bar blues that had Spillane bending
pipe notes as if they were made of rubber. The ecstatic reception
showed clearly that he is still moving many hearts."
In recent years Davy has set up his own studio in
the West of Ireland where he has been busy, working on film soundtracks
including Peter Kosminsky's 1992 production of 'Wuthering Heights',
the Oscar nominated 'Rob Roy' and Neil Jordan's epic film 'Michael
Collins', as well as producing, writing and making uilleann pipes.
After a number of years as a Sony recording artist
Davy has recently released a new album with fiddle player Kevin
Glackin 'Forgotten Days' on his own label.

Ghosts, in and of itself, is a fine game. It ticks all the boxes and then blows the boxes up in glorious 1080p resolution (on PS4 at least). Those who only ever play COD will be more than happy with it, but those who have grown weary of the series will see more of their ambivalence justified this time around. Infinity Ward had a chance here to throw down the gauntlet for the next hardware generation, to set the new standard, to show that this hugely popular, much derided behemoth can dance to a different tune. It's chosen to play a Greatest Hits package instead.
A "Greatest Hits" Call of Duty. Might be time for me to pick it up. I have not bought one since MW2. I don't like the way they addressed the difference in resolution between the XBox One and the PS4. I think it is a little more of a serious issue that warrants more than a cheap-shot, but a more thorough explanation.
The series needs to go away for awhile, just like assassins creed.
man... this game is getting some HORRIBLE reviews... man, im so glad i didnt get this garbage..

Brad Morris (D)
Brad Morris was born in Vicksburg, Miss., and raised by his grandparents in rural Itawamba County. His grandfather was a factory worker and Baptist minister, and his grandmother was a seamstress. Morris says he helped earn money for the family by mowing lawns, bagging groceries, working in a furniture store and working at night at a radio station.
Morris was the first person in his family to earn a college degree. He received a bachelor's degree in political science from George Washington University and a law degree and a master's degree in accountancy from the University of Mississippi.
Morris was chief of staff to Democratic U.S. Rep. Travis Childers, who held north Mississippi's 1st District seat from mid-2008 until early 2011. Childers was defeated in November 2010 by Republican Alan Nunnelee. Morris is challenging Nunnelee in 2012.
Morris is an attorney and owns a business that provides in-home services for elderly or disabled people who are unable to fully take care of themselves.
He and his wife, Sharon, live in Oxford.
Brad Morris ran unopposed in March 2012 for the Democratic nomination in north Mississippi's 1st Congressional District. In the November general election, he is trying to unseat Republican Rep. Alan Nunnelee, a longtime state senator who was elected to Congress in November 2010. Morris was chief of staff to Democratic U.S. Rep. Travis Childers, the man Nunnelee knocked out of office.
Federal Election Commission reports show Morris had $10,749 in his campaign fund as of June 30, 2012. Nunnelee had $267,659. The other people in the race reported no cash: Libertarian Danny Bedwell, the Constitution Party's Jimmie Ray Bourland and the Reform Party's Chris Potts.
"I think Congress has lost focus of protecting middle class and working families," Morris told The Associated Press. "Things like Medicare and Social Security and access to education are all an important part of the mixture of having a thriving middle class in this country. I want to get the focus back on how we grow and protect the middle class and make sure people have the opportunity to move up the economic ladder in this country."
In response to the June 2012 Supreme Court decision upholding the 2010 health care reform bill, Morris said in a statement, "It is a relief to know that we will not have to go back to square one on health care reform; however, health care reform still needs to be an ongoing process. We need to move to implementation and fix what does not work, but Americans do not want to start over again."
Morris supports a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision. He believes there is too much influence from big money in the political system.

Blue & LonesomeMusic CD - 2016
'Blue & Lonesome,' the Rolling Stones first studio album in over a decade. This album takes the band back to their roots and their passion for blues music which has always been at the heart and soul of The Rolling Stones.The album was produced by Don Was and The Glimmer Twins and recorded over the course of just three days in December last year at British Grove Studios in West London.

I believe the Rolling Stones are one of the most talented rock-blues groups of all time. However, this is one of the worst Stone's albums I have ever heard. Sounds like it was put together in a day. Absolutely no originality to this at all and doesn't even sound like the Stones.
'sounds just like the blues covers they were doing in the 60's...unfortunately over the 50 years they've been writing music, they haven't progressed past the woman-hating lyrics, despite some beautiful songs like Angie, and this album starts out with "buy me a gun and shoot at you"
brilliant 50+ years on & the boys go back to their roots.
Thankfully, producers didn't get in the way and step on anyone's toes or otherwise bend the music to suit their own preconceived notions of what constitutes the blues. The Brits loved American blues, at least postwar Brits did, and it shows on this album by the stones. Often derided in the sixties as plastic soul-by the very rnb entertainers they so admired and wanted to emulate- blue and lonesome will stand as a loving tribute to the blues by a band made fabulously wealthy and famous as opposed to the impoverished and forgotten lot of American blues men and women.
A fantastic album by a legendary rock band. Classic blues and a must for any fan of the blues to listen to. I've been waiting a very long time to hear this album and I was not disappointed at all.
Finally, the record the've talked about making for decades...you can quibble about why it took so long, you can quibble about the mix, but that's all it is - quibbling about something basically right. Only thing better would be a deluxe version with all the originals.
A must have for any blues fan on this planet......the Stones did pull it off exceptionally True and Awesome...check out the Chuck Leavell Piano on track 4...Charlie has the Charle feel through out the album..Mick sings blues like no tomorrow..Ronnie and Keef in the blues intrance ich will defenitely transmitted to each serious listener if you close ur eyes and swing through out...(defenitely not recommended to play while driving).....Darryl is awesome with that Wyman wobbly bass but Bluesy in his own way...Clapton shines on the last track.....i guarantee you will never be the same after one listen...i been listening to this about 60 times already....since i purchased this...i would give 15 stars!!!--- Reju Pachikara Tharakan, Dublin.
One of their best albums in YEARS. The Stones go back to their blues roots with this album of blues covers.

Lions hold off Cheetahs comeback
The 2009 Lions made it three wins from three after holding off a stirring comeback from a spirited Cheetahs side on Saturday afternoon.
Ian McGeechan's men followed up contrasting victories over the Royal XV and the Golden Lions with a hard-fought 26-24 win over another Super 14 outfit at Vodacom Park in Bloemfontein.
The Lions opened up a 20-0 lead inside as many minutes through tries from Stephen Ferris and Keith Earls, with James Hook converting both efforts and kicking two well-taken penalties.
Things were less straightforward for the remaining hour, however, as the Cheetahs hit back with two tries of their own to put the Lions under severe pressure.
The home side nearly sneaked a seemingly improbable victory with just 90 seconds remaining but fate saw Louis Strydom's long-distance drop goal slide narrowly wide of the far post, much to the relief of skipper Paul O'Connell and his men.
Having taken an eighth-minute lead courtesy of a 45-metre penalty from Hook, the Lions were celebrating their first try of the match just two minutes later.
With Jacques-Louis Potgieter having missed a penalty attempt of his own to level the scores, Hook's long drop out was fielded by the Cheetahs but they failed to protect the ball at the ensuing ruck just outside their own 22.
When the ball came loose, Ferris stooped to pick up possession before displaying a fantastic turn of pace to sprint clear. The Ulster flanker scored a 50-metre interception try on Wednesday night but the nature of this effort was arguably even more impressive.
Hook added the simple extras from directly underneath the posts to increase the lead to 10 points as the Lions continued where they left off against the Golden Lions in Johannesburg four days ago.
A good start got even better with just over a quarter of an hour on the clock when Earls claimed the Lions' second try in quick succession.
The Munster centre put to bed a disappointing opening first half against the Royal XV in his first Lions appearance a week ago as he supplied an accomplished finish to a beautifully executed move from the Lions.
Smooth lineout possession on halfway allowed Harry Ellis to provide Hook with quick ball and the Ospreys No10 lofted a deft chip over the head of the onrushing Cheetahs midfield and straight into the arms of Earls.
The 21-year-old stepped past both full back and right wing in the space of 10 metres before diving over the line a similar distance from the left of the posts.
Hook duly converted to give the tourists a 17-0 lead with the same number of minutes played.
The Welsh playmaker, who was only called up to the squad on the eve of departure for South Africa after injury kept Leigh Halfpenny at home for the early part of the tour, then kicked a second penalty to extend the advantage and further silence the home section of the 23,000-strong crowd.
Former Springbok squad member Meyer Bosman was penalised for holding on after Luke Fitzgerald and Halfpenny made had driven the Lions forward and Hook had little difficultly in making the Cheetahs centre pay for his error.
The one-way traffic of the opening quarter soon came to an abrupt end with the game's major turning point arriving with 23 minutes gone.
Try-scorer Ferris made a crunching tackle as the Cheetahs hurled themselves into the Lions 22 but the Irishman failed to roll away and considerably slowed down South African possession in the process.
Guinness Premiership referee Wayne Barnes was not impressed and he responded by sending the Lions' blindside to the sin bin.
By the time Ferris returned 10 minutes later, the Lions' lead had been cut to just six points.
Left wing Danwel Demas was the first Cheetah to cross the Lions' line four minutes after Ferris' untimely departure.
The South African Sevens star looked dangerous throughout the afternoon and he gratefully accepted Potgieter's well-weighted pass just five metres from the Lions' line as the Cheetahs made immediate use of their numerical advantage.
Demas went over untouched, taking the scoring pass just inside the left touchline and then cruising round towards the posts for a score that brought life back into a previously startled South African support.
The 27-year-old flyer then went close to claiming another try of his own with 31 minutes played and, although the bounce of ball proved unkind to his own quest, the Cheetahs didn't have to wait long for their second team score.
This time it was power rather than pace that did the damage, with prop Wian du Preez barging over from close-range after the Lions had lost possession deep inside their own territory.
Fly-half Potgieter was successful with both conversions to bring the Cheetahs back to within a single score and dispel any thoughts of a Lions try-scoring fest to match the 74-10 midweek win at Coca Cola Park.
Hook and Potgieter traded penalties either side of half-time before impressive work in the scrum from the Lions pack earned another kickable penalty attempt.
Hook rewarded his forwards for their dominance in the setpiece with his sixth successful kick at goal from six attempts as the Lions moved nine points clear with just under half an hour remaining.
That proved to be the Lions' last scoring contribution of the match, however, as Britain and Ireland's elite failed to hit their Wednesday night heights.
Instead, it was the Cheetahs who claimed their third try of the match through a 90-metre interception from centre Corne Uys.
With the Lions pressing for what surely would have been the killer score, Shane Williams attempted to feed Hook just 10 metres from the Cheetahs line but Uys read the pass perfectly and ran the almost the length of the field to give his side real hope of a remarkable victory.
With the conversion added from underneath the uprights the Cheetahs knew another penalty or drop goal would see them turn a two-point defeat into a single-point win over McGeechan's men.
And they so nearly ensured that was the case with more than 78 minutes played as Strydom made contact with a 45-metre drop from wide on the left. Both sets of players seemed to have to wait an eternity for the ball to fall from the South African sky and when it did, it was the Lions who were breathing a sigh of relief.
Having seen out the closing minute-and-a-half in Bloemfontein, the Lions now travel to Durban to face the Sharks at ABSA Stadium.
It's then on to Cape Town to play Western Province next Saturday before a Tuesday night clash with the Southern Kings precedes a return to Durban for the first Test against the Springboks on June 20.

School Board and Palm Beach County officials remained at odds Thursday over who should pay to clean up hazardous wastes at the board`s administrative compound off Belvedere Road in West Palm Beach.
The two sides have signed a contract for the county to purchase the property.
The school system, not the county, should be responsible for those costs, County Administrator John Sansbury said Thursday.
School Superintendent Tom Mills said the county should pay for the cleanup, estimated as high as $400,000, since it agreed to buy the property ``as is.``
The School Board was cited March 19 by the state Department of Environmental Regulation and fined $41,500 for seven counts of improper storage and disposal of hazardous solvents, printshop wastes and pesticides, and improper record- keeping. The board was ordered to clean up the wastes.
But while the county has agreed to pay the School Board $6 million for that property, Sansbury said that sale will not close for another four years, after the county has paid the balance.
``We have asked our attorney to look into it, but I would think it would be incumbent on (the School Board) to clean it up,`` Sansbury said. ``The county didn`t cause the spill, and the DER sure isn`t going to allow it to continue.``
``We may have to take a look at the value of the property,`` Mills told board members Wednesday. ``It may not be in our best interests to sell it. Unless they`re willing to pay for the cleanup, we may end up with the administrative complex right here (on Belvedere Road).``
If the board has to pay the cleanup costs, Mills said, it may have to change its mind about building a new administrative center on the site of the old Forest Hill Golf Course, which the board agreed last fall to purchase.

You might recall I borrowed a friend's sewing machine a wee while ago. Well, I got around to practicing and decided to make some happy, smiley, springy, summery bunting. I loved it so much that I went on to make a whole range of them! They're now on Etsy in five colours and pure white (which you could embellish yourself or the kids could decorate their own). Will offered some hilariously adorable inspiration for the name: Good Will Bunting. Choose from two sizes: small (1.4m, doorways, windows, etc) or large (3.4m, gardens, walls, etc) plus postage. Hooray for handmade!

Clearly we have some serious Terminator fans out there.
Last week on Chick Fight, Stars featured two of its biggest hitters yet: Cameron from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles challenged BSG's Number Six to a throw down, and the machine that Judgment Day built won. Summer Glau's tough-and-pouty Terminator kicked Caprica-Six's ass, scoring 74% of your hard-earned vote. Six, not viewed as the underdog in this contest, limped back to her resurrection ship with 26% of the vote.
Now, as Chick Fight rages on, Cameron faces another TV babe who knows how to handle herself in a fight with robots, vampires, demons – pretty much anything that deserves a whoopin'. Sunnydale's Buffy enters the ring, and right after a few choice pop-culture remarks, she plans to level her scythe right at Cameron's neck. Which chick will "slay" the other? Only you and your vote can decide. Check out the stats below and vote in the poll, it's that easy.
Chick Fight: The best thing to happen to women since nudity.
Returning Champion
She survived a Cylon one-on-one and trip through a windshield. But can Cameron go the distance with the first, true lady ass kicker? Cameron is made of stern stuff than the Buffy Bot, but we suggest that John Connor's protector invest in some protection of her own if she wants a second shot at the winner's circle.
But it could be Advantage: Cameron on the martial arts front, as each TV chick is well-versed in the areas of well-choreographed wire-fu. But Cameron's faster, and the whole Terminator thing sounds way more TKO-able than Slayer.

[Out of the dreamless womb time creeps in the moment which is no beginning at the end which is no end. Time is the crack. Darkness upon darkness moving, awareness slides from being. Vibrations clap their wings and there is sound. An eye regards an eye and there is light.
The humming light is waxing, the mountainous black is waning, the screaming is swelling into a harmony, a dazzling circlet of visible sound.
Love and Death, pursuing and pursued.
The sounds diminish and in the empty pallid azure the golden quoits spins away. At last, it has become a spot of radiance, a stain of gold, a fading flash, a Lazar beam, a single blinding point of light which absorbs a light into itself. The colorless soundless silence vibrates and sways. ]

New Delhi: Did the superbug evolve in India and has medical tourism contributed to its spread across the world? Closer reading of the research paper published in the British journal Lancet Infectious Diseases presents a very different picture. Suggestions that India is the fountainhead of this drug resistant bug are probably erroneous. (Read: Asian super bug hits the UK)
Evidence suggests that the bug may possibly have been inadvertently introduced into India. (Read: Government refutes Lancet report on superbug study)
Out of the 37 samples collected in UK, only 17 samples had history of travel to India or Pakistan. So, a question arises as to where did the rest 20 people contract this superbug?
Also, the authors themselves admit that there is no genetic similarity between the UK and Indian strains. And the very first alert issued by the UK government on January 30, 2009, makes no mention of India. Instead, it lists presence of the bug in Greece, USA and Israel.
Moving on to the other part: If medical tourism is to blame for the spread of this super bug, how come Rohtak, Guwahati, and of all places Port Blair, are home to the bug and find mention in the research? They are not certainly hot destinations for medical treatment. (Read: Superbug named after New Delhi bugs India) | (Read: Govt clarification on 'superbug' traced to India)
Confirming this to NDTV, Director General, Indian Council of Medical Research, Dr V M Katoch said India may have actually been a victim of this bug, since it is spontaneously evolving all over the world.
"India is definitely not the source of origin of this so called superbug, it is omnipresent across the globe," Katoch said. (Read: Why superbug NDM1 is considered hard-core)
Indian medical experts say the researchers may have flagged an important emergent problem, but to blame it on India's health system was stretching it too far. Health ministry is now planning to write a strong formal rejoinder to the journal refuting these findings. (Watch: Superbug report tampered with: Expert)

Most letters you get in the mail offering you money are fakes, printed up by scammers who want you to pay them to collect cash supposedly held in your name that doesn't really exist. But letters sent recently to some people in Berks, Carbon and Schuylkill counties offering them cash are real.
The letters are from state Rep. Jerry Knowles, a Republican who represents parts of those counties. He's sending them to people in his district who have money waiting for them in the form of unclaimed property that's held by the state Treasury.
Unclaimed property comes from a variety of sources. It could be proceeds from a bank account you forgot about, from an insurance payment you didn't know you had coming, or from a credit you had with a merchant or vendor. After a period of time has passed, the money must be turned over to the state.

A group of yeshiva students tried to prevent Greek Orthodox Christians from entering King David's Tomb in the Old City of Jerusalem. Christians believe that the tomb is the site of Jesus' Last Supper.
Such irony. Putting aside the obnoxious behavior of the yeshiva students,
it's amusing that they're protecting what they think is the place where the
mythological King David is buried from Christians who think that the
mythological Jesus ate a meal there.

We got to take Hellgate: London for another quick spin today and gained a couple new insights into what we can expect when the game ships this summer.
Classes still have not been added to the game, but there were a bunch of new enemies and skills. The mission we were dropped into required us to find some poor kid's missing leg (don't worry, he has a prosthetic peg to tide him over). Finding the limb was merely a matter of blasting every moving thing in the streets to bits. Eventually we came upon an enormous, bulbous, globular beast, and once we put it to rest we found the leg in the remains.
After returning the appendage to its rightful owner, we were sent on a courier mission to deliver a box to another part of the city. Of course, there was lots to kill along the way. As we traveled through the sewers, sword-carrying monsters that looked like skinless velociraptors (with horns) would slink out from around corners and charge us. Later, we came upon these slimy, Jabba the Hut-like grubs that would erupt when defeated, sending smaller scavengers out from their carcass seeking revenge. The Electronic Arts rep who was giving us our demo confessed he hadn't even seen these creatures before. Apparently the folks at developer Flagship Studios are cramming new monsters into the game on an almost daily basis.
Electronic Arts had the game running on Vista (although not DirectX 10), and we did encounter some performance hiccups. Eventually, the game crashed and reverted to the desktop. But we'll have more Hellgate: London coverage coming in the next 24 hours.

Lawmakers mull criminalizing resale of food stamps; new Walker-driven protest rules termed 'totalitarian'; permit OK'd for 5,300-cow farm, more state news
MADISON -- A bill that would make it illegal to sell a person's food-stamp benefits was endorsed Thursday by a state Assembly committee - and it's up for a vote Friday by a Senate panel.
Assembly Republican Samantha Kerkman of Powers Lake is the bill's main sponsor. She wants to make it a crime to buy, sell, or transfer Food-Share benefit cards for cash and other purposes.
The Assembly committee endorsed the bill 5 to 2, and it's scheduled for a vote in the full lower house on Tuesday.
Kerkman says she's heard that people in her district are selling their Food-Share cards, and then asking for replacements, but the bill's opponents say it will put an unfair stigma on those who follow the law and don't sell their benefits.
Wisconsin's Food-Share program went to a debit-card system over a dozen years ago and there have been occasional reports of fraud.
A state report last year said the number of Wisconsin Food-Share participants jumped from 388,000 people a month in 2007 to 816,000 per month in 2011.
First-term Democrats call for end to lawmakers redrawing of districts
MADISON -- First-term minority Democrats are the latest to propose that the state Legislature stop drawing its own districts.
Wausau-area Rep. Mandy Wright says the process has been abused for decades by both parties and it's time that an independent commission redraw the state's legislative and congressional district lines.
The process is required every 10 years, to create districts with equal populations according to the most recent Census.
In recent decades, a split in the state government's political make-up forced a federal court to re-draw the lines but in 2011, Republicans controlled all of state government and that allowed the GOP to draw the new maps in secret.
Critics say the party loaded numerous districts with its own voters, with a goal of keeping control of the Legislature throughout the next decade. Three federal judges decried the GOP's process - part of which is still being challenged in court at a cost to taxpayers of $2 million and counting. The federal judges said they couldn't stop the end result, because all but two Assembly districts met the constitutional requirement to have nearly equal populations and those districts were soon realigned.
Democrats could have changed the process in the 2009 session, when they had complete control of state government, but they didn't.
Minority parties often propose redistricting reforms, but the majority never takes them up.
Walker administration toughens protest rules; opponent labels them 'Totalitarian'
MADISON -- The Walker administration toughened the rules Thursday State Capitol protestors who don't get permits.
The new rules allow spectators and participants of unlicensed demonstrations to be cited if they don't leave.
Earlier this year, a Dane County judge ruled that only organizers of unapproved protests could be cited under the language of the administration's previous rules. As a result of that decision, members of the Solidarity Singers were protected during the daily protest sing-alongs - and only the conductors could be arrested.
Also, the new rules say the Administration Department can waive a 72-hour requirement for seeking permits for most Capitol demonstrations.
Administration spokeswoman Stephanie Marquis says the new rules change nothing for "any person or group that follows the permit process."
The Solidarity Singers have refused to get the state permits ever since a crackdown on them began last summer. On Thursday, state Assembly Democrat Chris Taylor of Madison said protestors have received about 140 tickets, and 68 have been dropped. He said the prosecutions are a waste of money, and they only curb free speech.
Former Kenosha County prosecutor Bob Jambois represents many of the protestors. He told the Wisconsin Radio Network that the administration's protest rules "could have been written in Russia" or in "any other totalitarian state."
Abrahamson becomes the longest-serving justice
MADISON -- Shirley Abrahamson has become the longest-serving State Supreme Court justice in Wisconsin's 165-year history.
Abrahamson has been on the state's highest court for just over 36 years and seven months. On Thursday, she surpassed Orasmus Cole, who had held the previous longevity record since 1892.
Legal historian Joseph Ranney of Madison calculated Abrahamson's service time. The court said she has written almost 500 majority opinions, over 400 dissents, and almost 300 concurrences.
Abrahamson became the state's first female justice in 1976, when former Gov. Patrick Lucey appointed her. Voters first elected her in 1979, and she's been re-elected three times since.
On her last Election Night, the 79-year-old Abrahamson said she looked forward to running again in 2019. She's been the chief justice since 1996, a position given to the court member with the most seniority.
She needs another five years to become the longest-serving chief justice, a distinction held by Marvin Rosenberry in the early- to mid-1900's.
Scattered power outtages remain as snow continues up north
Thursday's snow and ice storms were not as bad as forecasters predicted and that gave utilities a chance to restore power to thousands of Wisconsinites who lost it.
Up to 35,000 customers of the state's four major utilities were put in the dark at any one time during the week and around 9,000 were still out Thursday but as of Friday morning, that number is down to around 1,300.
The largest power outages are in the Stevens Point area, which had freezing rain late Thursday. The Wisconsin Public Service Corporation said just over 400 Stevens Point area customers were without power as of 4 a.m., Friday. In surrounding Portage County, Wisconsin Power & Light reported another 230 outages.
Meanwhile, it was still snowing overnight in the northern half of Wisconsin but the region got nowhere near the 11 inches that were predicted in some areas.
Bayfield had almost four inches as of 11 p.m. and it was still coming down. It was the remnant of a much larger storm through the Midwest and southern U.S. that spawned tornadoes and killed three people - none in Wisconsin.
Superior had around four inches of snow late yesterday, and Gile - along Lake Superior in Iron County - picked up just a half-inch.
Forecasters said the north would get another one- to three inches Friday.
Freezing rain was a problem in the state's mid-section. One-and-a-half inches of ice caused numerous ditched vehicles in Buffalo County. Meanwhile, southern Wisconsin still had light rain and drizzle overnight, after extremely heavy rains this week. Mukwonago had the biggest four-day total, with just under 4.5 inches. It caused flooding close to rivers, but it also did a lot to alleviate the state's year-long drought.
The U.S. Drought Monitor said Thursday that the southeast third of Wisconsin is now entirely drought-free.
Former coach-principal gets short jail term for drug charges
ANTIGO -- Former Antigo football coach and elementary principal John Lund will spend three months in jail and 18 months on probation, for selling marijuana to teachers.
At his sentencing hearing Thursday, Langlade County District Attorney Ralph Uttke said the 48-year-old Lund admitted smoking pot since he was 16.
The DA said educators and school coaches are role models and they need to lead by example.
Lund apologized. His attorney, Henry Schultz, said the public would not be protected by giving his client more punishment.
Lund resigned as principal soon after he was charged in January, 2012. He was about to go on trial a year later, when he struck a plea deal that convicted him of a single count of manufacturing marijuana with the intent to sell. Six other charges were dropped.
As part of his sentence, he must perform 200 hours of community service. Authorities said Lund ran a business which sold pot to teachers in Antigo and Merrill. Officials said it was part of a larger drug ring which also sold cocaine.
Fifteen people were charged - mostly teachers who got deferred prosecution agreements for using marijuana.
Judge clears way for proposed mega-dairy farm near 'Rapids
A judge has ordered that building permits be issued for a proposed 7,000-acre mega-dairy farm south of Wisconsin Rapids.
Visiting judge Tom Eagon ruled Thursday that the Wysocki family should get permits for seven structures from Lorelei Fuehrer, the building inspector in the Wood County town of Saratoga.
She refused to issue the permits after the Golden Sands Dairy applied for them and the town later placed a moratorium on new construction.
The proposed farm would have 5,300 animals. Jim Wysocki says the family hopes the dairy can now move forward, and become good neighbors.
An appeal is possible, but Fuehrer's attorney is not sure about that yet. The dairy still faces some other hurdles - including a court case which challenges the Saratoga moratorium, and the state's process for approving DNR permits for a series of large wells.
The DNR will hold public hearings on the project, once an environmental impact statement is submitted.
Girl injured on 'Dells ride meets therapy dog donated by Charlie Sheen
MILWAUKEE -- A Florida teenager who fell 100-feet from a Wisconsin Dells amusement ride has met a therapy dog that Charlie Sheen donated.
Teagan Marti will receive the dog for good when she turns 16 in September.
On Thursday, the two got acquainted in Milwaukee. Her family went along, and Teagan was excited to meet the four-month-old English golden retriever.
A family friend who is Sheen's godfather contacted the actor in February - and he donated $10,000 to buy Charlie, and train him near Fond du Lac.
Sheen said at the time that he hoped the dog would be named after him and that's what the family did.
Teagan Marti suffered brain, back, internal, and pelvis injuries in the summer of 2010, when a landing device failed on a ride at Extreme World in the Dells. Teagan now uses a walker, after she was paralyzed at first.
Three dead from West Allis house fire
WEST ALLIS -- Three people were killed late Thursday in a house fire in the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis.
Fire-fighters were called around 5:20 p-m to a two-story structure. The initial word was that four people were inside the house but Acting Police Chief Charles Padgett later said that rescuers could only confirm three individuals.
He said the rescue personnel could not search all parts of the house due to structural instability.
The ages and identities of the victims were not immediately released. Padgett said the cause of the blaze remained uncertain last night.
It's the second fire in West Allis this year with multiple deaths.
The first happened on March 17th, when two 14-year-old boys were killed -- Isaiha Kobow and Michael Gonzales.
Neillsville hotel, Lake Michigan shipwreck, added to National Register
Two Wisconsin landmarks have been added to the National Register of Historic Places, including a shipwreck in Lake Michigan.
The state Historical Society said Thursday that the scow-schooner Silver Lake is now a part of the National Register, along with the 120-year-old Omaha Hotel in Neillsville.
The Silver Lake is located about seven miles northeast of Sheboygan in 200 feet of water. It was built in 1889, and was used to carry lumber between Door County and Racine. It sank in 1900, and one crew member was killed.
Officials say the Silver Lake might be the only known double-centerboard scow-schooner in the Great Lakes. They played a major role in connecting small towns to regional markets.
Ed and Peter Weber opened the Omaha Hotel in Neillsville in 1893, to accommodate train riders who stopped there. It later became known as the Hotel Paulus and the Hamilton Hotel.
Whooping cranes returning from Florida
Wisconsin whooping cranes are returning from their annual migration trip to Florida.
Despite the cold and snowy weather, 84 cranes were confirmed to be in central Wisconsin as of April 3rd. That's out of 108 total cranes known to be in the wild throughout the eastern part of North America.
The numbers come from the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership, which helps run the 12-year-old effort to increase the population of the endangered whooping crane in the eastern United States.
Also, two chicks that hatched in the wild last year in Wisconsin spent the winter in Indiana with their parents and they've since flown back to the Badger State.
The Eastern Partnership says it's the first time in which chicks born in the wild have completed a migration cycle.

#1 Syrian town left scarred by opposition group ISIS' brutal rule02-17-2014, 10:26 AMBy Arwa Damon and Raja Razek, CNN
updated 7:59 AM EST, Mon February 17, 2014
Addana, Syria (CNN) -- From the moment we cross the Turkish border into Syria, evidence of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria's draconian and brutal rule lingers.
More than a month after the group was driven from the town of Addana, residents here drive through the streets, pointing out where ISIS fighters carried out executions and left bodies to rot for all to see.
Amid the civil war in Syria, another war is taking place -- one that pits moderate and Islamist rebels against radicals from ISIS, a group so radical that even al Qaeda has reportedly distanced itself from it. Both groups of fighters are opposed to the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
How friggen nuts do you have to be when even al Qaeda won't have anything to do with you???May the FORCE be with you!
