Online Store Policies
New, unused equipment may be returned for a period of up to 14 days after the date of delivery.
Return shipping charges are the responsibility of the customer.
Customers wishing to return new, unused equipment must call 1-877-428-2349 within 14 days of product delivery to obtain a return authorization and instructions. Once fuel is put into the fuel system it is "used" and is therefore non-returnable. Units that perform as designed are non-returnable, as they are now considered "used".
All returns are subject to inspection by Cub Cadet Personnel as to identify possible use, misuse, missing components, damage or abuse. Refunds may be denied as a result of failure to pass a return inspection.
For any questions regarding equipment set-up, operation or maintenance, please call our dedicated technical support team at 1-877-428-2349.
It is extremely important that all new, unused equipment being returned receive a return authorization prior to being returned. Equipment returned without a return authorization prior to shipment may be rejected for refund consideration and may also be subject to a storage fee of $20 per day. Total storage charges will not exceed the original total purchase amount. If an item is returned and becomes subject to storage fees, it will be considered "abandoned". Abandoned items will become the sole property of Cub Cadet as soon as the storage fees meet or exceed the original total purchase amount. When the remaining credit eligible balance reaches zero, abandoned items may be resold or disposed of at the sole discretion of Cub Cadet.
THE CUB CADET RIGHT PARTS PLEDGE: NO WORRIES WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING AND INSTALLING PARTS FOR YOUR CUB CADET EQUIPMENT. We realize identifying the right parts for your machine can be challenging. The Cub Cadet Right Part Pledge can help you avoid frustration when it comes to returning incorrect parts. We will not penalize you for ordering the wrong part when you follow this policy – we will work with you to ensure you receive the correct replacement part for your machine and that you receive credit for your part return.
We will also help you avoid a hassle in the first place. You can use Live Chat or contact our dedicated support team at 1-877-428-2349 to ensure you are ordering the correct part.
When returning a part, please follow these steps:
In order to process your return, please provide the following information:
CubCadet.com reserves the right to refuse to sell to any person for any reason not prohibited by law, including, but not limited to, abuse of its return policy.
If you should choose to cancel your order, please understand that our secured order system immediately begins to process your order upon placement, therefore, there is a limited amount of time that an order can be cancelled prior to shipment. Once the warehouse prints your order, it cannot be cancelled.
All backordered items can be cancelled at any time prior to being received into inventory.
If no sales tax is charged, you are still responsible for paying the sales tax to your state where required. The purchase is not tax-exempt because it is made over the Internet or because the seller is not required to collect sales tax. The states of Colorado, Connecticut, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Vermont, and Washington require purchases in those states to review untaxed purchases and, if any tax is owed, file their respective State sales or use tax return and pay any tax due. Purchasers in other states not listed may also have the same tax requirements and should check their respective state's tax website for additional information or seek advice from a tax or legal professional.
Rhode Island Sales & Use Tax Notice

Improving Community-based OVC Support
As part of a consortium led by Save the Children, AIHA is helping five states in Northern Nigeria to strengthen local capacity to provide much-needed care and support services to some 500,000 vulnerable children and 125,000 caregivers in the target states of Bauchi, Kaduna, Kano, Plateau, and Sokoto through the USAID-funded Systems Transformed for Empowered Action and Enabling Responses for Vulnerable Children and Families (STEER) project.Titanium Salomon Titanium Gtx Purple Walking dark Discovery Boot Men's anemone 0B0xvwP
STEER is 5-year project is designed to mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS on Nigerian children and families by creating greater country ownership and leadership through strengthened governments, civil society, and families.
For the past decade, reliance on the ability of community volunteers to interface with families at the household level, identify their needs, and link them to appropriate services has been a key element of the support community-based organizations (CBOs) and civil society organizations (CSOs) provide for orphans and vulnerable children and families in this region.
In 2013 when Project STEER was launched, AIHA was the only pre-service implementer in Nigeria that is addressing the country's critical social welfare workforce shortage through our successful Auxiliary Social Worker (known in other countries as Para Social Worker) Training Program in Enugu State.
Our Work Under STEER
Under STEER, AIHA works closely with Save the Children and its partners to bolster the professionalism of the social welfare workforce in Northern Nigeria, focusing on building the capacity of staff at CBOs, CSOs, local government authorities (LGAs), and other organizations throughout the region.
We are working with state-level bureaus of the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare, LGAs, polytechnic institutes, institutes of social work, and community service organizations (CSOs) in the five project states to train Auxiliary Social Workers (ASWs). Together with these stakeholders and the Nigerian National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), AIHA has adapted the current curriculum to the northern context; we've also upgraded it to a certificate-level course.
Tapping into the knowledge and experience of our Twinning Center partners from Enugu State, we have trained 27 master trainers from institutions of social work in the North, who are taking the lead on the rollout of the ASW Program across the five project states.
Current activities are focused on rolling out step-down trainings in all five states targeted under Project STEER. To date, we've delivered ASW training to 739 individuals working at the LGAs and CSOs, as well as to community volunteers associated with the project.

Spride Share
Looking for a painless way to make some extra cash? Consider sharing out your car. Spride Share, a Bay Area-based startup, allows vehicle owners to share their cars with pre-screened Spride Share members. Think of it as Zipcar, but with personal cars.
We are targeting an urban, 20s - 30s, eco-friendly, Internet savvy audience that is primarily based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The site has to appeal to a savvy web 2.0 audience.
We are building a Ruby on Rails web application that will enable car owners to share their vehicles to trusted individuals. Think, Airbnb.com for cars.
We want a clean and attractive interface that is easy to read and understand. Focus should be on usability and simplicity with visually appealing colors. Take time into thinking about the presentation of information flow.
You can see wireframes of the application at:
1.) Landing Page - The landing page needs to convey the service using images, text and service. Use of cars to convey the product is a good thing. We were thinking of using this wordpress theme for our landing page. http://bit.ly/spridehome. This will help you think of some ideas. We want creativity here!
2.) Car Owner Sign Up (https://gomockingbird.com/mockingbi…2l7/HfwF0e) - The focus on this page should be on how to present information in a form that is intuitive, clean and clear.
3.) Dashboard (https://gomockingbird.com/mockingbi…2l7/AgVQHl)
The Dashboard should also be thought through from a user experience that is simple and clean.
http//www.spride.com - we don't really like this website. It was created quickly and as a temporary placeholder.
Sites we like include: Airbnb.com, zipcar.com, whipcar.com, skyara.com

text: France is honoring artisans from the fashion and jewelry worlds. Christian Adrien, a jewelry designer at Cartier, and Raffaele Ilardo, the head of Dior's Couture atelier, have both been awarded the title of maitre d'art, or master of the arts, in recognition of their talent and inspiration to others. The awards, given out annually by the French culture ministry to distinguish highly skilled artisans, included professionals from the luxury goods association Comité Colbert for the first time. Each maitre d'art takes on an apprentice to train over three years, in a program funded by the government. In another first, pieces by all 15 of the newly named maitre d'arts, which also included the Louvre's tapestry maker and decorator Lionel Hück, will be exhibited at Paris' Galerie des Gobelins in November.

SplashShopper is a list organizer for iPhone and iPod Touch that is perfect for keeping lists of groceries to buy, movies to rent, CDs to buy, books to read and more! You can create an unlimited number of lists, and each list can be customized to record and display only the information that is relevant. And data can be easily synchronized between SplashShopper on your handheld and SplashShopper on the desktop (Windows or Mac OS).
SplashShopper on the handheld and SplashShopper Desktop are virtually identical. This user guide focuses on the features in SplashShopper on the handheld. You may prefer to do most of your data entry in SplashShopper Desktop, however, since it's faster and easier with a keyboard, and then synchronize the data with your handheld.
The iPhone/iPod touch version of SplashShopper is fully registered once you buy it. When you launch SplashShopper on the desktop you will be prompted to enter a registration code or to run in Trial mode. You may run the software for 30-days in full-functioning Trial mode. The Trial software and Registered software are identical. Once the trial period ends you must purchase and enter a registration code to continue using the software. You do not need to re-install the software. Simply enter a registration code and your Trial version will be converted into a Registered version and all data will remain intact.
Quick Start - Handheld
Following is a quick overview of how SplashShopper can be used as a tool for grocery shopping:
That concludes the Quick Start. Read on to learn more about the individual features of SplashShopper.
List View
Item Details
Deleting Items
Normally, items are not deleted from SplashShopper and remain in the All View so that you can easily add them to the Need View in the future. However, you may delete items that you no longer want to keep in the All View, as follows:
Deleting a single Item
Deleting a group of Items
SplashShopper Desktop
Setup Wizard
When you first launch SplashShopper, you will see the SplashShopper Setup wizard. It will help you connect to your handheld in 3 quick steps:
List View
Item Details
You may select the Coupon checkbox in Item Details to indicate that you have a coupon for an item. If you are showing the Coupon column, a "Yes" will be displayed next to the Item in the List view. You may use the Coupon checkbox as a general means of marking items that are on sale or, if you are tracking prices, you can use the coupon to track the amount of the discount as follows:
Deleting Items
Normally, items are not deleted from SplashShopper and remain in the All View so that you can easily add them to the Need View in the future. However, you may delete items that you no longer want to keep in the All View, as follows:
Deleting a single Item
Deleting a group of Items
You can select multiple Items in SplashShopper desktop by clicking Items while holding down the control or shift key. Then you may copy the Items to the clipboard and paste them into another list. Or you may copy/paste Items between Users if you are syncing multiple devices with the same desktop by switching between users in the User Menu.
You may print your shopping lists from the desktop by selecting Print from the File Menu. SplashShopper will print whatever is displayed on screen. You may wish to customize the print format by hiding or showing columns or adjusting their width.
You can share information with other SplashShopper Desktop users by exporting and importing your SplashShopper records. Records can be exported/imported in several formats:
SplashShopper vSH
To create a vsh file, simply display the Items that you wish to export (e.g., All View, Need View, a specific Category or Store, etc.), then select Export/vsh from the File Menu. In addition to the Items that are exported, all of the List Preferences (columns shown, field names, tax rate, etc.) are also contained in the vsh file. The recipient of the vsh file may open the file by double-clicking it or selecting Import/vsh from the File menu. When importing a vsh file, you have the option of creating a new list (which contains all of the pre-defined preferences) or importing just the records into an existing List.
You can download and upload sample vsh files as well as share tips and tricks with other SplashShopper users on the SplashShopper User Group at: http://forum.splashdata.com
Needed, Item, Store, Category, Custom1, Custom2, Qty, Unit, Price, Coupon, Auto-Delete, Tax, Notes
It is easy to create the above format in Excel by creating a spreadsheet with 13 columns (as described above) with one record per row. Then save the file in CSV format.
Third-party import filters
Note: When importing a file, you are asked whether you want to create a new list from the file, or import the data into an existing list.
Backup and Restore
SplashShopper data is stored on both the handheld and the desktop, and each acts as a backup of the other. So, in theory, if you lose the data on one of these devices through a catastrophic event (e.g., hard drive failure), the data will be restored to that device from the other device during your next sync.
Manual vsh Backups
Items may be created or edited on the Handheld or Desktop and the changes can be synchronized over your local WiFi network.
By default information is synchronized in both directions, but you can adjust the settings, in iPhone Sync settings which can be opened from the File menu.
In most cases, you will wish to leave the Default setting (on the right) set to Synchronize. This means that after changing it to Desktop Overwrites Handheld and doing a sync, it will revert back to Synchronize for the next sync so you don't have to go back in and change the setting back manually.
Here are the possible sync settings and the results they will bring about:
You can also find the desktop IP address in this dialog if you wish to enter the IP address manually on the handheld to sync. This can be useful in cases where the desktop is not being discovered by the handheld but you are sure it is on the same network.
In order to synchronize, you must do the following:
Creating an Ad Hoc Network
If you have trouble connecting your handheld and desktop SplashShopper, or if you want to make your sync connection with the handheld more private, you can set up an Ad hoc network (aka Computer-to-Computer network), and then perform your sync with both devices on that network. Here's how:
Mac OS
Windows Vista
This Vista setup information was gathered from this documentation Here you can find information on setting up an Ad hoc Network in Windows XP.

Ion Newcombe is the editor and publisher of AntipodeanSF, Australia's longest running online speculative fiction magazine, regularly issued since January 1998, and conceived back around November 2007. He has been a zealous reader and occasional writer of SF since his childhood in the 1960s, and even sold a few stories here and there back in the '90s.
"Nuke", who it turns out loves editing more than writing, lives in the New South Wales North Coast holiday destination of Nambucca Heads, where he is self-employed in IT training, computer support, desktop publishing, editing, writing, and website implementation. He is also the resident tech-head, skeptic, and board member of community radio station 2NVR, where he produces a number of shows including The AntipodeanSF Radio Show.
Mark Webb's midlife crisis came in the form of attempting to write speculative fiction at a very slow pace. His wife maintains this is a good outcome considering the more expensive and cliched alternatives. Evidence of Mark's attempts to procrastinate in his writing, including general musings and reviews of books he has been reading, can be found at www.markwebb.name.
One of Mark's very best forms of writing procrastination is to produce the eBook series for AntipodeanSF, which he has been doing since issue 175.

Quartet New Generation to Present Concert Thursday• April 4, 2006 Share:
Wabash College's Visiting Artists Series will present the Quartet New Generation in Concert, 8 p.m., Thursday, in Salter Concert Hall in the Fine Arts Center.
The group will perform many different pieces Thursday evening including "Cybergirls Go Extreme," a piece for recorder quartet (dancing), and drum and bass track, written in 2003 by Danish composer Chiel Meijering for Quartet New Generation. They will also be performing the premiere of a piece for recorder quartet and video entitled "Games," composed for them by Wabash College professor Peter Hulen.
Click here to read the Journal Review article on Hulen's composition.
Quartet New Generation was founded in September 1998 by four recorder players who met during their studies at the Amsterdam Conservatoire and the University of the Arts, Berlin. They have been awarded top prizes including the International Gaudeamus Interpreters Competition for Contemporary Music in the Netherlands; the International Chamber Music Competition for Contemporary Music in Poland; and the Concours International de Musique de Chambre' in France. In 2004, QNG was awarded First Prize in the 2004 Concert Artists Guild International Competition, as well as the Victor and Sono Elmaleh prize, a new video/recording prize, and numerous performance prize engagements throughout North America
Quartet New Generation is dedicated to contemporary music and collaborations with emerging composers from around the world, proving to international audiences the recorder's ability to be a modern classical instrument. Performing on upwards of 20 different recorders of varying sizes and shapes during a performance, the quartet believes that early music can be seen as new when programmed with a fresh eye and juxtaposed with contemporary works. This innovative style of programming combined with QNG's mesmerizing stage presence has attracted broad and enthusiastic audiences throughout Europe and South America.
The ensemble made its official U.S. debut September 14, 2004, on the CAG series at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, in addition to New York performances at Trinity Church, Columbia University's Italian Academy and the Tri-Institutional Noontime Recitals Series at The Rockefeller University, as well as concerts with the Pittsburgh Chamber Music Society and the Detroit Institute of Art.
Seating for Visiting Artists Series events will be by general admission, though free tickets are required for Visiting Artists Series programs.
Contact the Fine Arts Center Box Office by phone: 765-361-6411. The box office will open 90 minutes before curtain time for Visiting Artists events.

Christie Joins McGreevey At Jail Program
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will join one of his predecessors for a conversation with women inmates at the Hudson County Jail Wednesday.
Democrat Jim McGreevey is spiritual counselor to as many as 40 women who are taking part in the Integrity House pilot program. The program aims to address the problems that keep inmates returning to jail such as drug dependence and unemployment.
The program has been shown to cut recidivism by more than half, from a rate of 53 percent for Hudson County prisoners who are released without treatment to 22 percent for women who have gone through it.
McGreevey famously announced he was a "gay American" in 2004 and resigned soon after because he had an affair with a man whom he put on the state payroll.

CUPERTINO — A girl who was killed in her safety seat when a Jeep careened into the back of a minivan that was pulled to the side of Highway 85 on Monday was identified as 8-year-old Megan Yang of Cupertino.
Her mother, 6-year-old brother and the driver of the Jeep were all taken to Valley Medical Center after the 3:30 p.m. crash, with the boy and man suffering major injuries. No update on their conditions was available on Tuesday.
Investigators were looking into why the Mazda minivan was stopped on the shoulder just north of South De Anza Boulevard, and why the Jeep's driver — a 56-year-old San Jose man — "made an unsafe turning movement" and slammed into the rear right of the Mazda.
A third car clipped the minivan after the impact sent it across three lanes of traffic to the highway median.
The 8-year-old girl was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Monday, California Highway Patrol officials said it did not appear that alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash, but they did not rule out the possibility that the driver of the Jeep suffered some kind of medical incident. They said that depending on what investigators find, the man could potentially face charges related to the girl's death.

Fewer Cleveland County Schools students were classified as homeless this year.
But more than 160 still meet the homeless definition, meaning they have no permanent home and take residence with friends, in public places and locations not ideal for living.
While the number has declined, the need is great.
A year ago this week, The Star�s four-part series on Burns High School student Dawn Loggins put an international spotlight on homelessness among youth.
Her story � a girl who went from being homeless to a Harvard University freshman � brought attention to the issue of homelessness and the services available for young people who experience it.
One year after her story, the number of local homeless students has declined. But with many still in need, where can they find help?
How do the schools help?
The Cleveland County school system provides for homeless students through a federal grant, the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.
The grant pays for a range of services, such as graduation caps and gowns for outgoing seniors.
The county receives $60,000 during a three-year period from the grant.
�It provides transportation to and from school if they are in a hotel, school supplies and field trips,� said Deborah Corry, Title I director for the schools system and the McKinney-Vento liaison.
A majority of students classified as homeless in the county are third-graders; seniors represent the next most populous group, according to county school leaders.
Other than the grant, the school system hasn�t received any additional funding specified for use for homeless students, according to Corry.
Many schools, alongside churches and civic organizations, participate in a year-round BackPack Program, an initiative that collects nutritious foods and school supplies for less-fortunate students, said Donna Carpenter, spokeswoman for Cleveland County Schools.
The help doesn�t end there.
Where can children turn?
Cathy Robertson, executive director for the Cleveland County Abuse Prevention Council Inc., said the agency works closely with the school system to help homeless children.
Students find refuge in the agency�s women�s shelter in many situations, including displacement caused by domestic violence to economic hardships.
The McKinney-Vento Act funds transportation for school students to and from the shelter.
The Dover Foundation YMCA in Shelby has enrolled the shelter�s children into its annual summer camp programs.
Churches donate Christmas presents.
The shelter provides Easter baskets and egg hunts every year.
A celebration welcomes the birthday of each child who resides in the shelter, Robertson said.
The agency aims for normalcy, something the homeless youth don�t have.
�We don�t want children to look any different from anybody else,� Robertson said. �(Homelessness) can be a traumatic for children.�
Shelter staff regulates quiet hours for children completing homework assignments. The agency refers mothers and children in dire need to the local Salvation Army for fresh clothes, Robertson said.
The Interfaith Alliance Council�s shelter for men provides similar services to boys or male youth, according to Robertson.
Where can teens turn?
The Abuse Prevention Council serves at least two teenagers every year, Robertson said.
�They are the most vulnerable people in our community because they have no guidance, no one is looking out for them and they�re not old enough to look out for themselves,� she said. �We can be part-shelter, part-parent. It can be hard for us to keep our roles straight.�
To help teenagers, APC found a partner in �With Friends Inc.,� an agency that targets aid for homeless teenagers.
The agency, based in Gastonia, provides an emergency 24-hour shelter for ages 10-18.
Caroline W. Looney, the agency�s executive director, said the facility simply serves as a place youth can go.
The organization helps more than 175 youth annually. Looney said about 15 to 20 percent of the youth receiving services from Friends are Cleveland County residents.
�We�ve had children walk up to the door themselves and say they have nowhere to go,� she said. �It�s important for agencies like us to exist.�
Friends� primary goal is finding a stable environment for youth, whether with parents or a family member. It offers a transitional living program targeted for males ages 18-22 to obtain self-sufficiency over the course of two years.
�We�ve had a lot of success stories,� Looney said. �We�ve found some sleeping on people�s porches, in backyards, under bridges and in cars.�
Working together
Federal grant money for schools only stretches so far, Corry said.
That means the care of school staff, volunteers and community agencies are vital to further decreasing that number of homeless youth in the county.
Dawn Loggins� success story developed through her own determination, but also through the help of her school and community.
But not every child or teenager has that advantage.
�How much would it be on taxpayers if there weren�t services like ours?� Looney asked. �Where would these young people go?�
What classifies a child/teen as homeless?
- sharing the housing of other people due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or similar reason
- living in motels, hotels, trailer parts, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative accommodations
- living in emergency or transitional shelters, abandoned in hospitals or awaiting foster care placement
- children and youth who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations or similar settings
- children and youth who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for people

Homeless Youth across the Nation
-1.6 million American children, or one in 45 children, are homeless in a year.
-That�s more than 30,000 children each week, and more than 4,400 each day.
-Children experiencing homelessness suffer from hunger, poor physical and emotional health, and missed educational opportunities.
-A majority of these children have limited educational proficiency in math and reading
-In 2010, North Carolina ranked 20th in the nation for homeless youth with 36,240 children. New Jersey ranked No. 1 with the least, and Oregon ranked 50th.

PA's 15th Annual Incredible Angel Food Cake Contest
The angel food cake contest is returning to the competitive exhibit lineup at the Fulton County Fair this year. The Incredible Angel Food Cake contest, sponsored by Pennsylvania Egg Farmers and the Pennsylvania State Association of County Fairs, will be held Monday, July 30.
Baking a cake is a very rewarding area of home cookery. There are two main types of cakes, butter and foam (egg-leavened). Angel food is the classic example of a foam cake. The cake is 100 percent fat free and, because of the eggs, is a good source of the highest quality protein, as well a source of choline, which is essential to memory and brain development.
Entrants may not have won first place in this Angel Food cake contest at any other fair in 2018.
Prizes awarded will be first place: $25; second place: $15; and third place: $10. The winning cake will be eligible for competition at the PA Farm Show in January 2019, where the winner will receive $500 for first prize.
When entering your cake, which must be made from scratch and using eggs produced in Pennsylvania, you must also submit the recipe.
Cakes will be judged on the following categories and percentages:
30 percent flavor (smell, taste, flavoring)
25 percent inside characteristics (texture, lightness)
20 percent overall appearance (surface, size, color)
15 percent creativity
10 percent topping, icing or decoration
For more information, obtain a Fulton County Fair Premium Book at a local business, Fulton County Fair Web site of www.fultoncountypafair.com or the fair office on July 29. All entries must be submitted by Monday, July 30 no later than 11 a.m.

|Hep C infectious if someone has "cleared" the infection?
Oct 14, 2013
Hi, so once someone has "cleared" a Hep C infection, are they still contagious? I called the cdc and the rep there could not find the answer. What do you think? Thanks.
Response from Dr. Taylor
Once a person has cleared hepatitis C, either through treatment leading to cure, or spontaneously ( without medication) which may occur in up to 25% of people within the first 6 months of a new infection, the infection is gone. There is no virus to spread. The person is not contagious.
Remember that after cure or after the body clears hep C on its own during the acute ( new) phase of infection, we can catch hepatitis C again. If this occurs, there is a new infection and yes this can be spread.
What's The Story w/ HCV 2b Geno. Treatment?
Hep. B reactive.

I have a couple of questions aout the 2001 rules
1. When finding out the cost of power in 5.2.1. how does Blok-Displacement affect max power.
2. In the power source chart (5.2.1) why does the cp cost of power decrease with higher TLs shouldn't it increase. I mean in TL 6 the cost is half the power but in TL 3 it's 3 times the power.

WEST, Texas (CNN) -- A massive blast at a fertilizer plant Wednesday night killed an estimated five to 15 people, wounded more than 160, and damaged 50 to 60 homes in a five-block area, officials in West, Texas said Thursday.
The casualty count could spike to 60 or 70, said Dr. George Smith, the city's emergency management system director.
"We have two EMS personnel that are dead for sure, and there may be three firefighters that are dead," Smith said.
"There are a lot of people that will not be here tomorrow," Mayor Tommy Muska warned late Wednesday.
The explosion rocked the West Fertilizer Co. at about 7:50 p.m. CST Wednesday. It is being treated as a crime scene until investigators determine whether it was an accident.
"Nothing at this point indicates we have had criminal activity, but we are not ruling that out," said Sgt. William Patrick Swanton of the nearby Waco Police Department.
Swanton estimated the death toll as high as 15.
Patients were rushed to several hospitals. Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center reported five patients in intensive care -- two in critical condition, three in serious condition. At least 28 patients will be admitted, said hospital chief Glenn Robinson.
About half the community of 2,800 was evacuated, Muska said.
The White House said it is monitoring the situation through FEMA, which is in touch with state and local authorities.
Like a nuclear bomb
The blast shook houses 50 miles away and measured as a 2.1-magnitude seismic event, according to the United States Geological Survey.
"It was like a nuclear bomb went off," Muska said. "Big old mushroom cloud."
Firefighters painstakingly combed damaged homes, many which had been reduced to rubble.
"(It's) massive -- just like Iraq. Just like the Murrah (Federal) Building in Oklahoma City," said D.L. Wilson of the Texas public safety department.
The blast stripped a nearby apartment complex, with 50 units, of its walls and windows. "It was just a skeleton standing up," Wilson said.
A nursing home, with 133 residents, was quickly evacuated. A middle school also is located near the plant.
"There are lots of houses that are leveled within a two-block radius," Smith said.
Weather could hamper efforts
A storm system heading into the area could worsen the situation.
"Winds will be gusting up to 35 miles per hour through the afternoon," said CNN Meteorologist Jennifer Delgado. "This can move the direction of the fire" -- a big concern for firefighters working to contain the blaze, she said.
Lightning and hail could damage those efforts as well -- and endanger people in the area who have been left homeless.
Overnight lows will be just above freezing, Delgado said. Those without homes will need shelter.
West is about 75 miles south of Dallas and 120 miles north of Austin. The town's chamber of commerce touts it as "the Czech point of central Texas."
Czech immigrants arrived in the town in the 1880s, and the community still maintains strong ties to their central European roots, with businesses named "Little Czech Bakery" and "The Czech Inn."
"The roof came in on me..."
The blast sent a massive fireball into the sky. Flames leaped over the roof of a structure and a large plume of smoke rose high into the air.
"The windows came in on me, the roof came in on me, the ceiling came," said George Smith, the city EMS director.
Brad Smith lives 50 miles away and felt his house shake.
"We didn't know exactly what it was," he said. "The forecast said a line of thunderstorms was going to come though. My wife and I looked up and wondered, "Did it get here six hours early?"
Five hours after the blast, carloads of the wounded continued to stream into hospitals.
While some of the injuries are minor, others were "quite serious," said Robinson of Hillcrest Hospital in Waco.
Many suffered from "blast injuries, orthopedic injuries (and) a lot of lacerations," he said.
Risk remains
For the town, the danger may not be over.
Even though officials have turned off all the gas, they worry another tank at the facility might explode.
"What we are hearing is that there is one fertilizer tank that is still intact at the plant, and there are evacuations in place to make sure everyone gets away from the area safely in case of another explosion," said Ben Stratmann, a spokesman for Texas State Sen. Brian Birdwell.
If the winds shift, the other half of the town will have to be evacuated as well.
The big concern: anhydrous ammonia, a pungent gas with suffocating fumes that is used as a fertilizer.
When exposed to people, the gas can cause severe burns if it combines with water in the body.
Exposure to high concentrations can lead to death.
The West Fertilizer Co. said it had 54,000 pounds of the chemical, The Dallas Morning News reported.
The scene
Early Thursday morning, state troopers in gas masks manned roadblocks, waving away cars coming off the highway.
The Federal Aviation Administration instituted a flight restriction over the town.
Authorities closed schools for the rest of the week and urged everyone to stay away from school property.
So many firefighters and medics descended on the town to help its all-volunteer force that the public safety department pleaded that no more assistance was needed.
"The firefighters and EMS people are coming from hundreds of miles away to help us," Wilson said. "Right now, we are overflowing with help. "
Worst-case scenario
In 2006, West Fertilizer had a complaint filed against it for a lingering smell of ammonia, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality website shows.
Separately, the plant had informed the Environmental Protection Agency that it presented no risk of fire or explosion, according to The Dallas Morning News. It did so in an emergency planning report required of facilities that use toxic or hazardous chemicals.
The plant's report to the EPA said even a worst-case scenario wouldn't be that dire: there would be a 10-minute release of ammonia gas that wouldn't kill or injure anyone, the newspaper reported.
But what happened Wednesday night was much worse.
Tommy Alford, who works in a convenience store about three miles from the plant, said several volunteer firefighters were at the store when they spotted smoke.
Alford said the firefighters headed toward the scene and then between five and 10 minutes later, he heard a huge explosion.
"It was massive; it was intense," Alford said.
Cheryl Marak, who sits on West's city council, said the blast's impact knocked her to the ground.
"It demolished both the houses there, mine and my mom's and it killed my dog," she said.
Other residents had similar stories.
"It was like a bomb went off," said Barry Murry, who lives about a mile from the plant. "There were emergency vehicles everywhere. It has been overwhelming."
As they waited for daybreak, they sought comfort in each other and in Mayor Muska's words.
"This is not the end of the world," he said. "This is a big ole' cut that we got across our hearts right now."
"But," he added, "we are strong. We will rebuild."

Congressman Jack Kingston is one of the most new-media savvy politicians in Washington. He's also solidly pro-enforcement on illegal immigration, and has applauded the Minutemen for their effort to patrol the southern border. His staff (specifically Parks Bennett, I think) put together a nice video that includes footage shot at the border by the Minutemen and a conversation between Congressman Kingston and the Minutemen's spokeswoman. It's good, and Kingston staffer David All made it available to Power Line Video. You can watch it here.
Congressman Kingston's blog is here. Our thanks to Kingston and his staff!

Like many boys who grew up in the 1960s during the Civil War centennial, Dr. James Marten spent countless hours playing war and dressed up as a soldier for Halloween more years than not. It should come as no surprise then that Marten associates his research on Civil War children with some of his fondest memories growing up.
"My first love as a historian was the Civil War," Marten said. "And, like many baby boomers, as an adult I'm a little obsessed with thinking about childhood — my own and my children's — which clearly played a role in my evolution into being a historian of children and youth."
For his leadership, research and scholarship, Marquette awarded Marten, chair and professor of history, the 2010 Lawrence G. Haggerty Award for Research Excellence. The annual award recognizes a faculty member who has demonstrated scholarly distinction and an all-encompassing belief in excellence. The award includes a gift of $5,000.
"In almost a quarter of a century of service at Marquette, Jim has embodied the university's ideal of the scholar-teacher. He helped launch a field of study about American childhood and youth during the Civil War, while maintaining a full teaching load, serving as the chair of the Department of History and directing seven doctoral dissertations," said President Robert A. Wild, S.J.
Marten believes it's too easy for individuals to view children as passive observers and victims of their times. That couldn't be further from the truth, based on his research. According to Marten, children are important actors in history and can provide important insights into the periods and events they lived in.
In 1999, Marten's book The Children's Civil War was selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book of the year and helped establish Marten as an important interpreter of the social history of the Civil War period. He has written, edited or co-edited 13 books and has two more books in progress. His monograph Sing Not War: Civil War Veterans in Guilded Age America will be published in 2011, and his edited work, Children and Youth During the Civil War Era, is nearing completion and under contract with New York University Press.
Marten's contributions to the field go beyond his own work and publications. He was a co-founder of the Society for the History of Children and Youth, which hosted its first conference at Marquette in 2001. The society now counts nearly 300 members from more than 20 countries and publishes a triennial journal. He also serves as senior co-editor of the six-volume anthology The Cultural History of Children and the Family, coordinating 72 volume editors and authors from four continents and 13 countries and co-editing one of the volumes. Marten believes this work is as important as his personal writing, allowing him to bring in and support junior scholars in the field, as well as help refine and bring clarity to the field.
"I've really been fortunate to find a research field with room to grow and find a voice to articulate why it was important for us to understand the place of children in history," he said.

Job title/current role: Starring in The Hinterlands, a musical web seriesDegree earned: B.F.A. in musical theatre with a minor in dance, 2012Hometown: Seattle, Wash.Now living in: New York CityHigh School: Skyline High School
The Hinterlands is a musical web series about a kid named Paul, who I portray, as it follows his path dealing with bullying, his sexuality and adolescence in an isolated small town. It was created in response to the vast amount of teenage suicides among the LGBTQ community, and used to give kids a character they can relate to through an easily accessible online resource.
It's extremely exciting. Being nominated for anything is thrilling, but to be in the best actor category nominated alongside David Arquette and Milo Ventimiglia is truly surreal.
I chose Point Park because of its extremely diverse program. In choosing a college, I wanted a school that had not only an outstanding acting and vocal program, but also an exquisite dance program. I wanted to be the most well-rounded performer I could be upon graduating. I had a number of good programs to choose from but I thought Point Park would be the best fit to get me there.
I left Point Park with an extremely well-rounded education and an ability to adapt quickly. Being well trained in all aspects of your art is very valuable in working in the performance field, and my training at Point Park helped prepare me in that respect.
Choosing a college program is hard. There are so many factors that have to fall into place and it needs to feel right. But as a former Conservatory of Performing Arts student, I can say with entire certainty that there is no other place I would have rather gone. The training, faculty and program were everything I wanted. I'm wildly thankful.
As you pursue your theatre training or your theatre career after college, never be afraid to be yourself. It's far too easy to fall into a trap of trying to be someone or something else, and what I believe is that the true ticket to happiness in your life and career is just to be you.

Speculation about House minority leader Nancy Pelosi's future is intensifying with the failure of House Democrats to net more than a single-digit gain, despite their huge six-seat haul in California.
Pelosi's office continues to tamp down the idea that she might step down as minority leader, but she has been uncharacteristically quiet, holding no post-election conference calls with the caucus. Colleagues outside her tight inner circle say they have no idea what she'll do and was probably awaiting the outcome of the election.
Now that it's over, here are a few of the tea leaves to ponder:
Pelosi will finish her new term: The one firm thing she has said publicly is that she will serve out her new term as San Francisco's representative. She just celebrated her 25th anniversary, and was re-elected Tuesday with 84.7 percent of the vote, her second-highest showing since 1998. "Retirement is not an operative word," her staff said. Some think she is sticking around to pick her successor. Her rival and loyal lieutenant Steny Hoyer wants the job, but he's 73 and speculation is that Pelosi wants to install Maryland workhorse Chris Van Hollen, 53, who is everywhere on TV. Pelosi will also have an eye to her successor in San Francisco. Plenty of people want that job, and state Sen. Mark Leno is a top contender.
Little chance of regaining the Speaker's gavel anytime soon: The party of the incumbent president often loses seats in midterm elections, especially the mid-term of a president's second term. It's a long road back to the Speakership, and that has got to dampen her enthusiasm.
Drive for 25 fell way short: The final tally depends on close races including Lungren/Bera and Bilbray/Peters in California, but the shortfall has been vividly cast as "epic" even though Pelosi said it beat historical trends by "more than doubling the seats historically gained by a president's party in a re-election campaign." Many acknowledge that GOP controlled redistricting played a big role, but Pelosi's bet that a Mediscare campaign would deliver the House failed badly. In September, when Mitt Romney picked Paul Ryan as veep, Pelosi told CNN's Candy Crowley it was in the bag: "We have been saying there are three important issues in this campaign. And in alphabetical order, they are Medicare, Medicare, Medicare." Didn't work.
Alexandra Pelosi gave a hint last year: Pelosi's daughter, filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi, dropped a bomb last December when she told an interviewer her mother, "would retire right now, if the donors she has didn't want her to stay so badly. They know she wants to leave, though….She's 71, she wants to have a life, she's done. It's obligation, that's all I'm saying." Pelosi's staff again quashed the idea. Now Pelosi is 72. She still has a shocking level of energy, but horizons are looming and the job is flat-out, seven days a week.
Pelosi delayed leadership elections until after Thanksgiving: This is what set off rampant speculation that Pelosi might step down. Usually leaders call for elections immediately after voters install the new caucus to solidify their support. The delay set heads scratching, as did Pelosi staff's odd explanations that members were being bombarded by electioneering further down the ranks by the likes of Rep. Barbara Lee, which several members denied.
The job is hers if she wants it: Democrats are clear that if Pelosi wants the job, it's hers. Nobody has yet challenged her. Her fundraising is prodigious and has always been key to her rise. In October, she held 65 events in eight states (think about that), raising $12.9 million to elect House Democrats. Since entering the leadership in 2002, Pelosi has raised $328 million; in just this election cycle her total was 692 events raising $85.1 million. As our Matier and Ross note, that's a lot of chits.
Liberals adore her: Here's what retiring Petaluma Democrat Lynn Woolsey, who has sometimes parted ways on votes with the former Speaker, told us before the election. "The Democrats would never have survived without Nancy Pelosi, I can tell you that," Woolsey said. "For heaven's sake, she is the heart and soul of the Congressional caucus and the Democratic Party. She's a leader, she's the one, she's the voice."
Pelosi achieved a majority/minority caucus: The first woman Speaker in history achieved another spectacular historical milestone Tuesday, despite falling short in her drive for 25. For the first time ever, women and minorities will hold a majority of Democratic House seats. Pelosi emphasized the achievement in her official statement on the election results, saying January will bring "the first 'majority-minority' Caucus in our history, reflecting the great diversity and strength of our nation."
Only she knows for sure: Sources said even her inner circle, which includes Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez, and Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, doesn't know what she'll do.

North Dakota is one of several states with Republican-controlled Legislatures and GOP governors looking at abortion restrictions, ranging from denying funding under the federal health care law to requiring women to get an ultrasound and teenagers to get parental permission before having abortions.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers has urged Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple to veto measures that would make North Dakota home to the nation's most restrictive abortion laws.
Rep. Kathy Hawken, R-Fargo, said about 10 senators and representatives from both parties met with Dalrymple and Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley Monday night.
"There is concern that we are making laws outlawing a perfectly legal medical procedure," Hawken said.
"We spoke from the heart to the governor," she said. "It's a very tough decision for him. We could see that on his face."
The North Dakota Senate last week approved two anti-abortion bills — one banning most abortions if a fetal heartbeat can be detected, something that can happen as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. Another measure would prohibit women from having the procedure because a fetus has has a genetic defect, such as Down syndrome.
If the governor signs the measures, North Dakota would be the only state with those laws.
North Dakota is one of several states with Republican-controlled Legislatures and GOP governors looking at abortion restrictions, ranging from denying funding under the federal health care law to requiring women to get an ultrasound and teenagers to get parental permission before having abortions. Just days before North Dakota lawmakers approved the ban, Arkansas instituted a 12-week ban that prohibits most abortions when a fetal heartbeat can be detected using an abdominal ultrasound.
A fetal heartbeat can generally be detected earlier in a pregnancy using a vaginal ultrasound, but Arkansas lawmakers balked at requiring women seeking abortions to have the more invasive imaging technique. North Dakota's measure doesn't specify how a fetal heartbeat would be detected.
North Dakota's genetic abnormalities bill also bans abortion based on gender selection. Pennsylvania, Arizona and Oklahoma already have such laws, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which tracks abortion restrictions across the U.S.
Rep. Bette Grande, a Republican from Fargo who introduced both bills, said she was surprised that lawmakers were lobbying the governor after the measures had been passed by wide margins in both the Senate and the House.
The bills still had not been formally presented to the governor on Tuesday, said Jeff Zent, a Dalrymple spokesman. Dalrymple has three legislative days to sign or veto the measures after receipt.
North Dakota lawmakers also are considering measures that effectively would outlaw all abortions in the state. So-called "personhood" measures would ban abortions by defining human life as beginning with conception.
The state Senate passed two personhood measures last month, and the House could vote on them this week. One of the bills would make the proposal a state law and another is a resolution that would put the definition into the state constitution, if passed by voters.
Other measures include outlawing abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy based on the disputed premise that at that point a fetus can feel pain. Another measure requires a doctor who performs abortions to be a physician with hospital-admitting privileges.
Critics of the proposed North Dakota legislation say it's aimed at shutting down the state's sole abortion clinic in Fargo. Some backers have said the measures are a direct challenge U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion up until viability, which is usually at 22 to 24 weeks.
Abortion-rights activists have vowed to fight the measures in court.
Lawmakers also worry about costs to defend the legislation, which could be staggering, Hawken said.
Sen. Carolyn Nelson, D-Fargo, who attended the meeting with the governor, said North Dakota lawmakers are overstepping their authority when it comes to abortion.
"The Legislature should not get between a woman and her God," Nelson said.
Republicans have two-thirds control in both the North Dakota House and Senate. Hawken said it isn't certain that if the governor vetoes any abortion measures that the bills would have enough support to pass without him.
"Both sides of the aisle have strong opinions on both sides of the issue," Hawken said.

My youngest daughter has inspired me daily. Having marvelous teachers throughout the years has added to my knowledge. My students range from 30 to 80+ years of age. The majority are retired seniors. Their abilities range from beginner to advanced. We encourage creativity and some students hand-build their own pieces with clay. I feel ihis is a good learning experience and furthers ceramic knowledge based on the individual's capabilities. Also 1 don't believe competition and awards are the most important aspect of the ceramics industry. Treating my customers as I would want to be treated, promoting the industry as an art form and instilling creative pride in my students.

Many developers have already submitted their requests for the Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 device. We've started sending out confirmation emails to those that have qualified for the device. Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control we are unable to offer a Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 for developers on the Verizon network.
Some developers have indicated that they are very loyal Verizon customers and would only like the device on their preferred network. So for these developers, we will offer them a choice. In lieu of the Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 device, developers on Verizon can instead:
- Request a Verizon BlackBerry 10 device to replace their BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha, adhering to the same terms and conditions of the Limited Edition device in order to qualify. This will be a final commercial device and will ship when BlackBerry 10 is commercially available on Verizon.
- Request a Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 device from an alternate carrier, one which is supported as a part of the Limited Edition program.
For those developers who have already requested their Limited Edition device on Verizon, email communication will follow in the coming days requesting your preferred selection. For those who have not yet requested their Limited Edition BlackBerry 10 device, but wish to pursue option 1, updated instructions on procedure will be made available as soon as possible.
Please do not hesitate to leave a comment or discuss with your favorite Developer Relations team member should you have any thoughts on the matter or feedback you'd like to share.
Also – if you want to request more information on the BlackBerry Z10 on Verizon – head on over head and register!
