Police recover solar panels stolen from school
EL CERRITO, Calif. (AP) - Police have recovered more than $70,000 worth of solar panels stolen from the roof of an El Cerrito private school known for its eco-friendly architecture.
Janitors at the Windrush School on Saturday discovered 56 of the panels missing, each valued at $1,900.
El Cerrito Detective Cpl. Sue Garman says an officer noticed a man going behind a house on Sunday with what looked like a solar panel.
Police stopped 42-year-old David Avelar and interviewed him throughout the night, learning where most of the purloined panels were.
Already on probabtion, Avelar was booked into Contra Costa County jail on suspicion of the thefts and is being held without bail.
The school estimates replacement and repair could cost more than $100,000.

If you're going to the movies this weekend there is a movie of biblical proportions -- an epic saga from Twentieth Century Fox 'Exodus: Gods and Kings.' It's a movie I would think would have been better suited to be released during the Easter season. The movie is a big time Ridley Scott version of the story of Moses as he is beckoned from God to free the Egyptian slaves.
I've gone snow skiing before. Bunny slopes, green slopes and I've skied blue slopes.
Black slopes? No thank you! I just found something that will dwarf any black slope you have ever seen!
It's one thing to have your neighbors put up tons of Christmas lights and sync them with a music show. It's another thing when an entire L.A. neighborhood gets in on the action and syncs the music. Don't ask me how they did it but the drone flyover is pretty cool.
Yes, this is a little gruesome and yes, it's also fascinating!
Ride dinosaurs, walk with dino pet Tracey, play games, jump in the dino bounce houses, get your photo taken in Jurassic scenes and see life-sized dinosaurs in Texarkana at the Four States Fairgrounds this weekend.
Gun guys and gals, here's a nifty gifty idea for you for the Holidays, .40 caliber ear buds that you can make yourself!
The 2015 Country Concert season is just starting to heat up with the Certified Platinum Tour featuring the 2014 CMA Female Vocalist of the Year Miranda Lambert LIVE at Centurylink Center in Bossier City, LA on Friday, March 20.

Every year I like to tell you about some of my favorite places to visit for the holiday season. If you like looking at Christmas lights and lots of them I've got the perfect place for you and your family to visit. Santa Land, Texas is a drive-thru, Christmas Park Wonderland just north of Tyler, Texas, in Lindale, home to country superstar Miranda Lambert.

Lee commissioners reviewing Twins spring training complex
FORT MYERS - Amid all the hoopla surrounding the $75 million JetBlue Park the Red Sox facility, Lee County commissioners shifted their attention Tuesday to the team across town.
Commissioners voted 4-1 to proceed with an analysis of the Lee County Sports Complex and Hammond Stadium, the spring home of the less-celebrated Minnesota Twins. Commissioner Brian Bigelow dissented.
"It gives us an opportunity to coordinate with the Twins on future expansion opportunities as well as expansions of county facilities for public use," Commissioner Ray Judah said.
Lee County's contract with the Twins runs through 2020 and includes regular review periods for the stadium to consider things like seating, parking and the condition of the facility.
Public Works Director Doug Meurer said the county met with Twins executives over the summer. Ideas like a second elevator and expanded parking were among the items discussed.
"This starts to trim down these ideas into a manageable list of options," Meurer said of the upcoming review.
The review process will be an overview of the facility and its current condition as well as options for expanding the stadium, improving parking or adding a new county function to the Sports Complex. The county purchased a parcel of land just south of Hammond Stadium over the summer, which could be added to the Twins facility or used as a county park.
While Commissioners Judah and Frank Mann seemed eager to proceed with the project, Bigelow questioned the whole process of funding baseball facilities as well as the role of the local Tourism Development Council.
"We're spending a whole lot of money so that wealthy people can throw baseballs around," Bigelow said. "Our TDC should be working to bring people here to throw beach balls."
The facility review will be scheduled for a county commission meeting later this year.
In other news, commissioners approved the final funding agreement of nearly $1 million for the new bus service in the Bonita Springs area, which starts operation on Thursday and travels from Estero south to Immokalee Road in Collier County.

User binaries for a GSM speech compressor
This package contains user binaries for libgsm, an implementation of the European GSM 06.10 provisional standard for full-rate speech transcoding, prI-ETS 300 036, which uses RPE/LTP (residual pulse excitation/long term prediction) coding at 13 kbit/s.
GSM 06.10 compresses frames of 160 13-bit samples (8 kHz sampling rate, i.e. a frame rate of 50 Hz) into 260 bits; for compatibility with typical UNIX applications, our implementation turns frames of 160 16-bit linear samples into 33-byte frames (1650 Bytes/s). The quality of the algorithm is good enough for reliable speaker recognition; even music often survives transcoding in recognizable form (given the bandwidth limitations of 8 kHz sampling rate).
The interfaces offered are a front end modelled after compress(1), and a library API. Compression and decompression run faster than realtime on most SPARCstations. The implementation has been verified against the ETSI standard test patterns.

Boshra is a 42-year-old married woman and a mother to three sons and three daughters. Her husband is employed at the Ministry of Education who earns small salary, which is barely enough to cover the family's needs.
Boshra wants to improve her house's kitchen condition, so she is requesting a USD Murabaha loan from FATEN to help her cover the cost of purchasing and installing marble stone shelves to the kitchen.
This will make Boshra's movement in the kitchen more easier and fullfill her needs , which will improve her family's living condition positively.
About Shariah-compliant lending:
FATEN offers loan products that are designed to serve borrowers all over Palestine, including some religiously conservative areas. A key tenet of Islam is the prohibition of interest in the lending or accepting of money. This prohibition is based on the belief that money should be seen only as a medium of exchange and that it has no value in itself. FATEN has adapted the terms of this loan to fit the cultural context by attaching a 0% interest rate to the loan. In order to cover its costs, FATEN does charge a servicing fee. The amount you see fundraising includes both the principal loan and the loan servicing fees. As with all Kiva loans, you should expect to have your funds returned to you in accordance with the repayment schedule attached to this loan. For more information on lending in the Muslim world, please visit Kiva's Muslim World Lending helptext: http://tinyurl.com/3aekx8m.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is governed by Islamic lending principles. Because Islamic Law prohibits the charging of interest, FATEN is charging 0% interest on this loan. This is a Murabaha loan, which means that FATEN purchases goods for borrowers and charges a fee or mark-up. Click here to learn more about this loan type and Kiva's approach to lending in the Islamic world.
About FATENPalestinians face unique challenges due to the economic and political environment in the West Bank and Gaza. Click here to learn more about how Kiva and FATEN are working to help Palestinian borrowers overcome these obstacles and how your support can make a difference.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

Brill!Anybody have a list of Ginn books?
This is a wonderful resource! Would you be able to update it so that it can also include "Songbirds Phonics" by Julia Donaldson? Thanks a million in advance! :-D
This was just what i need will just tweak it into a colour banded list.
Brilliant! We don't have all of the schemes, but it helps me place the ones we do. Thank you.
It was useful but as our school uses Sound start as the main reading scheme at the moment I was disappointed that you only included up to sound start orange and none of the higher levels. We also use New way as a companion scheme (only until we can afford to replace it totally) and this was not included at all. My job is to band our existing scheme and gradually replace it with Collins but I am finding it difficult to find any equivalency for sound start and New way. Can anyone help?

WASHINGTON — The House voted overwhelmingly Wednesday for a bill authored by Rep. Tom Cole to terminate public financing of national political conventions.
U.S. House approves bill by Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole to end public funding for political conventions
The bill passed 310 to 95 just weeks after the Republican and Democratic parties held their presidential nominating conventions; Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Muskogee, is sponsoring companion legislation in the Senate.
Cole, R-Moore, who has been working on the issue since 2009, said on the House floor Wednesday that eliminating the funding for the conventions, held every four years, would be a small step toward saving taxpayer money for more pressing needs.
The Republican and Democratic parties received about $18 million each for their conventions this year, Cole said.
"For what?" he said. "Does anybody really believe that's the best use of public money?"
Previous attempts
The public funds comprised about 23 percent of the total costs of the conventions, Cole said, adding that parties were more than capable of raising sufficient private funds.
The House and Senate have already voted in the past year to end public financing of political conventions.

Just my opinion. Lets try to be positive now!!!

The Henry County Wildcats cross country team traveled to Goshen Saturday to compete in the North Oldham Rumble through the Jungle meet.
The girls varsity finished 13th out of 16 teams in a very tough field. On the boys side freshman Zachery Woods and seventh-grader Keegan Kurtz ran respectable times despite being intimidated by the large, elite field.
"Zachery and Keegan were very nervous at the start line," Coach DeeDee New said. "But I thought they finished with good times."

Turners Station Baptist Church members want to revitalize their congregation and their building and take on local mission outreach. First, the church will reintroduce itself to the wider Henry County community with a special event Sept. 26 off Hwy. 55.
Established in 1876, membership in the Baptist church rose and fell with the fortunes of Turners Station. But with stability in the pulpit, church member and an organizer of the Fall Fellowship event Johnny Doll says it's time to rebuild the congregation and its involvement in the life of the community.
As about a million bike enthusiasts converged on the recent Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota, Pastor Tommy Purvis shared his personal message of hope with hundreds of attendees there.
While he said reputed thugs known as "1 Percenters" worked to recruit new members nearby, Purvis joined with other missionaries and the many thousands of people who stopped in the tent and signed up for a free Harley Davidson giveaway, organized by the Dakota Baptist Convention, he said. Attendees only had to listen for three minutes to a message to qualify for the drawing.

COLUMBUS -- The holiday spirit can overcome gloomy economic conditions, at least according to a new American Red Cross poll looking at holiday charitable giving.
A telephone survey of 1,020 adults conducted earlier this fall found that although 67 percent of Americans didn't think the economic downturn would last as long as it has, they still want to give to charity. Taken further, seven of 10 indicated they would donate the same or more this holiday season than they did in 2010.
"No matter their personal financial hardships, Americans still want to give," said Michael Carroll, CEO of the ...

Indiana state Senator Dennis Kruse recognizes his bill requiring labels on foods containing GMOs faces an uphill battle.
Tussles over GMO label bills, soda taxes, school lunch standards and secret cameras in stockyards marked 2014 as an exciting year for food watchers.
Measure 92 would have required raw and processed foods sold in the state of Oregon to be labeled if they contained genetically modified organisms.

Some retailers are capitalizing on the consumer demand for foods produced in environmentally friendly ways.
This week, Connecticut passed the first law in the nation requiring food containing GMOs to be labeled.
Advocates of the new bill say consumers deserve to know what they are feeding their families.
According to recent research, simply calling a food "organic" causes it to be perceived very differently.

Chip Kelly took his Oregon Ducks to the Fiesta Bowl last night and made it look easy to beat Kansas State. Kelly's new offense is something to be dealt with, the Ducks made it look easy to win this football game and there are lots of people wondering if it can be as successful in the NFL. Some of the people who are at the top of the list to talk to Kelly include the new owner of the Cleveland Browns Jimmy Haslam III and his team President Joe Banner.
The Ducks put 35 points on the score board last night. They were able to hold Kansas to only 17 points and the Ducks could have won by more had they kept pouring it on. This could very will be Kelly's last NCAA football game, there are plenty of reason for Kelly to take hi-powered offensive scheme to the NFL including some sanctions that could be coming to the Ducks for recruiting violations. There is no reason for Chip Kelly to hang around Oregon any longer, the Browns would do well to hire a guy like Kelly to run their team. He could be the next Paul Brown of the NFL if Kelly indeed accepts an offer to coach the Cleveland Browns.
You can bank on the fact that Jimmy Haslam III and Joe Banner will do what they can to lure Kelly away from the Ducks. It could be just a matter of time before we hear if Chip Kelly goes to the Cleveland Browns……

High school football: Here come the Titans; Carl Albert upends Del City
But less than six minutes later, Del City had cut the lead to a touchdown and the Eagles defense was holding strong.
That's when Carl Albert turned in its most important drive of the night, even though it resulted in no points.
The Titans took more than nine minutes off the clock with a 16-play drive that featured 10 carries by Thompson.
The most critical play was Thompson's two-yard gain on fourth-and-1 that kept the drive alive for the final five plays.
"That was an amazing drive," Thompson said.
Del City drove the ball to the Carl Albert 11 before the Titans defense came up with two big stops before intercepting John McBride's pass in the end zone to all but seal it with less than four minutes remaining.
Carl Albert was without one of its best lineman, Caleb Holland, who was held out with a medical issue.
That left the Titans scrambling, moving Kyler Walker to the other side and plugging Anthony Woods at right tackle.
"They did a great job for us up there tonight, especially considering what we were missing," Rose said.

Peppers, Kiedis celebrate with energetic show
Anthony Kiedis is living proof that 50 is the new 20.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman turned a half-century-old in Milwaukee Thursday, celebrating the occasion with his band and a primarily full BMO Harris Bradley Center. Initially wearing a formal black jacket with tails, it wasn't long before he was shirtless. And very rarely, if at all Thursday, was he still - whether he was spinning around like a karate master caught in a cyclone or busting out his own interpretation of PSY's "Gangnam Style" galloping horse shuffle - and those moves were during just one song, "Around The World." (Fans brought their own special moves as well, at least in section 407 where I sat; at one point, I found myself completely smashed between two full-body dancers with no concept of personal space.) »Read Full Article(6)

Blame Internet for Waukesha stabbing? Or Judy Blume?
In my column, I look at local and national print and TV news coverage of the stabbing attack in Waukesha by two young girls, reportedly inspired by a horror fiction website.
The site features a character named Slender Man whom the girls believed to be real and whom they hoped to impress with the attack. But did their access to the Internet make it a co-conspirator in the crime? One reader thinks so and probably isn't alone. He wrote: »Read Full Blog Post(1)

For one quarter at least, Adrian Peterson played like Minnesota's most valuable player, popping through the Philadelphia Eagles' blitz for a 40-yard touchdown run, then exploding into the end zone shortly after for a 3-yard touchdown that helped close Philadelphia's lead to two points.
In that shining second quarter, Peterson rushed for 68 yards on eight carries. The other three quarters were a different story. In those, Peterson shared playing time with Chester Taylor and, for the most part, produced minimal results when his carries came.
In the first, third and fourth quarters, Peterson rushed for 19 yards total, carrying four times for 2 yards in the first, six times for 10 in the third and twice for 7 in the fourth.
"There was an opportunity that was out there that I felt like I left out there, and I'm sick about it," Peterson said after Minnesota's 26-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. "There were opportunities that I capitalized on. But when it's a game like this, you can't leave it on the field, so I know personally I'm going to learn a lot from this and try to omit those plays that I left on the field."
Peterson finished his first career playoff game with 83 yards on 20 carries (Taylor had 48 yards on 12 carries). He scored two touchdowns and eliminated the fumbles that plagued him throughout the regular season. But aside from that 40-yard touchdown burst, Peterson couldn't break through. The NFL's leading rusher averaged 4.
"He broke out on a couple there in the first half," Eagles linebacker Trent Cole said. "We knew what we had to do. Gap control. That's what it is. We had to change a little something in our scheme, and we got it done."
A helmet-to-helmet hit in the first quarter left Peterson face down on the turf for several moments, but he pulled himself up and, with trainers by his side, walked to the Vikings' sideline. He didn't stay there for long, returning five plays later in the same possession.
When he broke through in the middle in the second quarter, scoring the first six of the Vikings' 14 points in that quarter, it seemed he and Minnesota's offensive line had found a way to read Philadelphia's incessant blitz. In the second half, though, the Vikings passed twice as often (20 times) as they ran (10 times).
"I felt like we established a run pretty good. The first half we were getting yardage. I think we should have stuck with it," Taylor said. "We did a great job of moving the ball, controlling the line of scrimmage. We just have to stay consistent."
Peterson said Philadelphia increased the blitzing in the second half, keeping the Vikings from establishing a drive and leaving the Vikings to pack their bags at the Metrodome for the last time this season, something Peterson said he wasn't prepared for.
"It's hard for me to know what I'm going to do now," he said of the offseason, "because (losing) wasn't in my plans."

Fillmore man was armed with two handguns when shot by deputy, authorities say
A Fillmore man was armed with two handguns when he was shot and killed Wednesday by a Ventura County sheriff's deputy, authorities said.
The shooting occurred outside the man's home in the 700 block of Blaine Avenue in Fillmore. He was identified by authorities Thursday as Josue Jimenez, 33.
Minutes before the shooting, police got a call reporting a man with a gun at nearby Mountain Vista elementary school. At 4:45 p.m., the caller reported seeing a chrome-colored handgun in the man's waistband and gave a detailed description, including a license plate number, said Sgt. Eric Buschow, a spokesman with the Ventura County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies went to the campus but found no such man and no vehicle matching the caller's description of a green sport utility vehicle. But they tracked the vehicle registration to the Blaine Avenue address, about half a mile away.
It was there that deputies said they found the SUV and an armed man outside a home.
"Deputies confronted him. They gave him commands to drop the gun," Buschow said.
But Jimenez ignored those commands and, at one point, fired a gun, he said. At the time, deputies could not see what he fired at, but later discovered he had shot a pit bull terrier, Buschow said.
A deputy fired, hitting Jimenez, authorities said. The shooting was reported at 4:53 p.m. — eight minutes after the initial call.
Jimenez was taken by ambulance to Ventura County Medical Center, where he later was pronounced dead.
Frank Carrillo, in the crowd that gathered near Blaine Avenue shortly after the shooting, said he thought he heard three shots.
"It happened quick," Carrillo said.
Deputies tried to save the dog, Buschow said. They took the dog to a nearby veterinary clinic, but it later died. Authorities did not say who owned the dog.
The Sheriff's Office also did not say why Jimenez was at the school Wednesday or whether he went onto the campus. It's also unclear whether students were on campus at the time.
Mountain Vista, an elementary school in the Fillmore Unified School District, is in a residential neighborhood, bordered on one side by Delores Day Park.
The school district referred questions about the incident to the Sheriff's Office on Thursday, saying it is an active police investigation.
People outside the Blaine Avenue home Thursday morning appeared to be packing up belongings and moving out. A woman who identified herself as Jimenez's wife declined to talk about the shooting, saying it was too difficult.
Jimenez has a half-dozen convictions dating back to 2002 mostly on drug-related charges, online court records show. His latest conviction was a felony drug-related charge in 2009.
"There is no legal basis for him to own a firearm of any kind in the state of California as a felon," Buschow said.
Part of the ongoing investigation will look into how he got the guns, where they came from and to whom, if anyone, they were registered, he said.
The deputy who shot the man was placed on administrative leave, which officials said is standard procedure after an officer-involved shooting.
Staff writer Andrew Lopez contributed to this report.

Stories of Loss and Recovery
Saturday, September 10, 2011
As part of The Requiem Project, we searched the WNYC Archives for voices that offer perspective on loss, grief and remembrance. The goal was for these voices to augment the music stream — text that would expand upon the themes in the music, and vice versa. We found accounts from volunteers who rushed to the World Trade Center site to help in the relief efforts, interviews with artists who struggled to capture the enormity of the event, and much more.

As part of Q2's Requiem Project, we've been searching the NYPR archives for voices that offer perspective on 9/11 and help us better understand the world in which we now live. The stories that immediately stood out to me were of the volunteers who for months helped feed, clothe and comfort the people working at the site. "We have to understand that their existence in millions for each evil act is what keeps us going," the late evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould told WNYC's Marianne McCune.
Philip Levine: From Auto Worker To Poet Laureate
Monday, August 15, 2011
Last week, the Library of Congress named Philip Levine the country's 18th poet laureate of the United States, succeeding W.S. Merwin.

I don't know that in other countries you get poetry of that quality about the ordinary workingman."

MADISON, Wis. - A 3-0 record at the Minnesota Spring Invitational in Minneapolis on Saturday propelled the Wisconsin volleyball team to a perfect spring record. The Badgers wrapped up the season with an undefeated 5-0 mark.
Wisconsin swept Minnesota-Crookston 25-10, 25-17; Minnesota 25-20, 25-15; and South Dakota 25-10, 25-10 at the Sports Pavilion on the University of Minnesota campus.
Junior Ellen Chapman led the Badgers over Minnesota-Crookston with nine kills while hitting .438. Juniors Dominique Thompson and Deme Morales both added eight kills against the Golden Eagles. Wisconsin recorded four service aces against UMC with two coming from junior Courtney Thomas. Freshman Lauren Carlini led the team with eight digs while Kt Kvas added five saves.
The Badgers jumped out to a 15-7 lead in the first set against the Golden Gophers and went on to the sweep. Thomas led the Badgers with seven kills while Chapman added six putaways and served three straight aces in the second set. Sophomore Taylor Morey keyed the defense with eight digs while Carlini had a team-best two blocks.
Wisconsin used a balanced attack to down South Dakota in the final match as three players - Taylor Fricano, Thompson and Chapman - each had six kills. Thompson was a perfect 5-for-5 on offense in the first set and added a team-best three blocks in the match. Morey again led the back row with eight digs.
The Badgers will practice for two more weeks this spring and will announce their 2014 fall schedule on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON -- Democrats appear poised to retain control of the Senate, but this year's forecasts are full of more uncertainty than usual.
A host of unknowns could affect the 10 or so races too close to call: turnout. Ground game. Last-minute ads. Presidential coattails. Weather.
Democrats -- and two Independents who vote mainly with Democrats -- control 53 of the Senate's 100 seats. Twenty-three of those Democratic seats are up for re-election, compared with 10 in Republican hands. Republicans need a net gain of four seats for their first majority in six years -- three if GOP nominee Mitt Romney wins the presidency, allowing a new Vice President Paul Ryan to cast tie-breaking votes.
Independent experts agree Republicans could wind up with anywhere from a net gain of three seats to zero. They also warn it's an unusually difficult year to figure, because the 2012 vote is not shaping up to be the kind of national referendum on an issue, such as the Iraq war or the economy, that gives one political party an advantage.
"Neither party has the wind at its back," said Jennifer Duffy, Senate analyst for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. "It's all about candidates and their campaigns."
• GRAPHIC: House, Senate races to watch
Here's a look at some of the more interesting races:
Connecticut: President Barack Obama's coattails could matter in a state where voters have a history of choosing moderate Republicans. Republican candidate and wrestling promoter Linda McMahon is running against Democratic U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy.
Indiana: This was supposed to be a safe Republican seat, but when the popular GOP Sen. Richard Lugar lost to insurgent Richard Mourdock, Democrats saw an opening. Mourdock hurt himself last month when he said that "even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen." He later apologized for offending anyone, but the political damage lingers. Polls show conservative Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly with a lead in the high single digits.
Massachusetts: Incumbent Sen. Scott Brown, a Republican, has tried to distance himself from his party's conservative wing. Democrat Elizabeth Warren, known for her aggressive consumer advocacy, has been gaining and now appears to be the favorite.
Missouri: Incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat, is running against Republican U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, who said while campaigning that women rarely get pregnant in cases of "legitimate rape." Top Republicans urged him to quit the race, but he didn't.
Virginia: Polls show former Gov. Tim Kaine, a Democrat, gaining on Republican nominee George Allen.
Wisconsin: Former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson and Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin are locked in a close fight. The race was once regarded as an easy Democratic win.
Predictable change
One political thing seems fairly sure: Republicans will retain firm control of the House.
Democratic Party dreams of carving into the 240-190 majority that Republicans enjoy are meeting the harsh reality of many Republican-held seats being secure because of redistricting and a potential lack of congressional coattails from President Barack Obama, several election experts said.
But even though control of the House isn't likely to change, the composition, tone and political tenor of the chamber probably will.
With so many contests for open seats, the chamber probably will have a huge influx of freshmen, according to David Wasserman, an analyst for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, which monitors congressional races.
Democrats could pick up anywhere from zero to five seats, some handicappers predict, well below the 25 needed to take control of the House.
The House may become more partisan than the current 112th Congress because of the continued thinning of moderate ranks in both parties. The fiscally conservative Blue Dog Democrats, whose ranks were halved to two dozen in 2010, are expected to shrink to the teens with the retirements of Reps. Heath Shuler of North Carolina, Dan Boren of Oklahoma and Mike Ross of Arkansas and anticipated losses on Election Day.
Another likely development, Wasserman said, is that the House could have 80-90 new members, and nearly one-third of the 435-member chamber will have less than three years in office.

Through RNA interference, which helps control which genes are active and the degree of their activity, researchers reduced the expression of PVT1, which in turn reduced the protein levels of ECM components.
In a related finding, TGen scientists discovered that PVT1 affects the expression of other genes FN1, COL4A1 and PAI-1 in a manner that is at least partially independent of TFFB1, a gene associated with tissue fibrosis, or tissue damage.
"Delineation of the relationship between TGFB1 and PVT1 represents a critical component toward understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of ECM in diabetic nephropathy," said Dr. Lucrecia Alvarez, the study's lead author and a TGen post-doctoral fellow.

The Jets managed to close out an interesting 2013 with a win against the woeful Buffalo Sabers. A team that is about as threatening offensively as a 6-month old kitten allowed the Jets to play a somewhat questionable game and still come away with a pretty dominating performance.

It wasn't the best game the Jets have ever played, but no one on the Sabres was able to punish them for it, and Al Montoya led his team to a shutout win over the lowly Sabres. As it should be.
With order restored over the Panthers and Sabres, the Jets can retire 2013 with a smile, and Jets fans can usher in the new year with a joy we didn't feel during the lockout.

The New York Civil Liberties Union has criticized a Long Island school district for suspending students who walked out of class to protest budget cuts.
The NYCLU said in a letter last week to the Central Islip (EYE'-slihp) district that the students were exercising their constitutional rights and "should be praised for their idealism."

PrepXtra Baseball Player of the Year: Wil Crowe of Pigeon Forge
Crowe carried Pigeon Forge to state title
Maybe he was just being humble.
Maybe he had yet to fully grasp the enormity of what he had achieved.
Regardless, Pigeon Forge High School pitcher Wil Crowe — when asked June 18 to assess his senior season — he proclaimed: "Me, personally, I thought I had a pretty good year."
"Pretty good" doesn't even begin to cover it.
The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Crowe set a new standard for Pigeon Forge baseball — one that may never be duplicated or surpassed and one that standout players at Pigeon Forge will be compared against for years to come.
The PrepXtra Baseball Player of the Year and state Gatorade Player of the Year led the Tigers to a 39-2 record, a Class AA state championship with a pitching performance for the ages and statistics so gaudy you'd think he had been manipulated by some 13-year-old, video-game prodigy's X-box controller.
He finished 16-1 with an emaciated ERA of 0.64.
Opponents hit .116 against him, struck out 187 times and walked just 14 times in the 98 innings he pitched.
He threw 10 shutouts, four no-hitters and two perfect games during the spring.
Moreover, Crowe — a South Carolina signee — hit .454 with 12 doubles, 12 home runs, 28 walks, 51 runs and 53 RBIs.
Pretty good?
Really good.
Crowe threw a no-hitter in the state sectional game that sent the Tigers to the state tournament. He threw a perfect game in their tournamentopener in Murfreesboro against Elizabethton. And when Pigeon Forge needed clutch in the final against Goodpasture, Crowe made clutch happen.
He pitched eight innings and 157 pitches, striking out 15 and walking just two. After Pigeon Forge took a 5-3 lead in the eighth, Crowe summoned a final wind and struck out the side to give his school its first team state championship in any sport.
"I've watched the last pitch about 40 times," he said. "I've watched the last inning a few times."
Added Crowe: "Everything we set out to do, we accomplished ... It wasn't just a sport. It was a job to all of us.
"We dedicated ourselves tremendously and it ended up paying off."
Crowe began his pitching at age 7. "I kind of, when I was little, was always bigger than everybody," he said. "All I really had to do was throw it over the plate — just throw it down the middle and see if they could hit it or catch up to it."
By the time he reached high school, the scouting report read more of the same dominance. Yet, at the same time, it had its murky parts. Crowe could be either an over-powering pitcher or big-hitting infielder.
Turned out, he was both.
Now the only question remaining: could Crowe have pitched a ninth inning against Goodpasture?
"Yes, I could've," he said. "But I don't know if (coach Mike) Guinn would have let me.
"Then again, I don't know if I would have given up the ball."
