Interesting. So Newt's collapse is a result of the establishment RINOs wanting to back a winner, and throwing to Mitt.
That's what I thought. I figured Newt was drawing more from the establishment folks than from conservatives.
You're predictions were pretty good. What happens if Newt loses his 20 percent of conservatives and they throw to Santorum?
Occupy Portland (Maine) protesters headed to NH the day after Iowa. I suspect they registered and participated in the GOP NH primary and probably many from Massachusetts.
Looks like you are wrong.
8 percent in:
Romney 36
Paul 25
Huntsman 16
Gingrich 11
Santorum 10
Perry 1
Santorum about 100 behind Gingrich.
Romney winning in Carroll, Rockinghman and Hillsborough.
Paul up in Coos, Merrimack and Strafford.
29% of voters in 2008's election cycle were independents. You can't win national elections without them. That's why.
Looks like polling was pretty accurate.
Paul now up in Coos only. Romney everywhere else. 8 percent in Coos, Paul is up by 9 here.
Santorum up in Strafford + Merrimack, Gingrich up in Hillsborough and Rockingham. As we saw earlier, the more conservative the area, the better Santorum does vs Gingrich.
Paul and Romney up top. Screw the republican party. It's time for a Conservative Party.
Fox ready to call it for Romney after the break.
Fox calls it for Romney,..the checkmark is there.
A) We want a genuine conservative to take first (aint gonna happen in that state);
B) We want a geniune conservative to take a strong second (probably might not happen, we will see;
C) We want Huntsmann then to at least come in and shave Romney's lead down a lot, by cancelling out RINO votes against RINO votes.
I see your point. Either way, we need a politically weak and wounded Romney going into South Carolina and Florida.
Watch slick n' slippery Romney talk REAL "right wing" from tonight once he leaves NH and heads south for Dixie. It will all be such a show, what is sad is the droves of voters who might buy it.
Fifty-six percent of the vote going to the two candidates who are certain to utterly destroy the GOP as a viable national conservative party.
It's not every day you get to watch the suicide of a great national political party.
Yep, looking like Huntsman's work here paid off. Perry should drop out.
Odd that, Huntsman's going to get more delegates than Perry.
Gingrich with 4th here and 4/5th, depending on how the votes play out now needs to win in SC or he's out.
When I moved up here, I used to hear Mitt Romney on TV, and he sounded great. If you have lived in a really truly one-party Demonrat state, then what he said sounded sweet. All the remaining Pubbie candidates have serious flaws: Newt with his fraternization with Pelosi over AGW, Perry with his Latino-pandering, and Santorum with his union-pandering. Suppose Perry had to run in MA or PA—would he really be different? Until we get back to Constitutional limited govt., politicians are going to have to play the game.
Fox has been calling it for Romney since long before ANYONE voted!!
ABC News: Romney won
More shocking is how well Huntsman is doing.
Lots of independents in NH going for Paul, Huntsman, and Romney. Gingrich and Santorum tied for fourth, Time for the R party to start keeping Democrats and Independents from voting in their primaries. How did this happen?
Mitt Romney (R LOL) ......36% ...7,292 Votes
Ron Paul (R LOL) ............24% ...4,912 Votes
Jon Huntsman (R LOL) ....16% ...3,117 Votes
76% of the vote goes to these men in a Republican primary? Wow.
Folks, we really do need to clean up our nomination process.
For reference:
RCP Average 1/5 - 1/9
Romney 37.5
Paul 17.5
Huntsman 14.5
Santorum 11.5
Gingrich 10.3
Perry 1.0
There is no reason why NH should always go so early. It makes as much sense as having Texas, Utah, and Wyoming go early in a Democrat primary.
Yep, you nailed it.
I agree. NO late deciders went to Newt.
I've lived in blue, deep blue areas before.
There's absolutely no excuse for supporting Mitt Romney because he 'sounds good'. Absolutely none.
Perry didn't even campaign in NH.
Already saying Myth won. Sooo surprised by this. NOT!
Perry is hanging around til Super Tuesday...NH is a state that is going 75% Romney/Paul/Huntsman...unlikely that Perry, the strongest conservative in the race, would get many votes.
I'm in NH on the Massachusetts border. The last time I voted in a presidential primary the parking lot was filled with cars from MA. They were voting in the primary to make sure a bad candidate was chosen for the Republicans. I didn't see any MA plates this time. I hope that's a sign that the Democrats don't care if Obama isn't reelected.
This isn't a national election...it's a primary. Let registered REPUBLICANS pick their candidate...let 'independents' make their decision between parties on Election Day.
Paul overperforming points to a heavy influx of independents. Why doesn't the Republican party control it's own nomination process? How did it happen that everyone gets to vote for the R nominee?
I see that. Damn.
So Massholes can come up and deem they will move up and vote? The same dolts that gave us McLame?
Do you think we will ever get a "Reagan" again with the Carnivals that Iowa and NH have become, and the front loading?
The Republican Party in NH has to pull their heads out of their asses and close it down to registered Republicans only, what a farce...
They ain't gone down to the Old Confederacy yet. It's gonna get REAL hot down there in South Carolina. Even with the media arrayed in support of Romney, he could get kicked real good. One thing is for sure. Conservatives have got to coalesce and quit splitting the anti-Romney vote. Somebody in the conservative camp has to follow Bachmann and drop within the next day or so, and endorse the "anti-Romney". D*mmit.
PS The US media is so unethical, I am listening to ABC news and they are saying who the nominee is going to be or not going to be. That is up to the VOTERS. I have never heard this kind of talk in electoral return tabulations in Japan. They give each candidate equal time, they dont put up a screen with just the top three but put up everybody, and they dont dare say "this one or that one will win their party's nomination". Sam Donaldson is the WORST.
How is that possible? Is the registration process in NH so inept that people who legally reside in MA can come up and register in NH?
Perry's 'Christian-themed' messages won't fly in NH...considered the least-'religious' state in the union. You should see the nasty comments being made about Santorum in the local papers...if Perry was more than a blip on the radar in NH; he would be getting similar treatment.
I think you must never have been near the place, or outside the area of NH which is part of greater Boston.
The same goes for MD. The Balto. metro area and the DC suburbs swing MD for the Demonrats, but rural western MD and the Eastern Shore are mostly Republican.
The other thing:
Newt splits are 10-9 men/women
Santorum splits are 9-12 men/women
54-45 men/women splits in the party.
Santorum has the highest support among women among all republicans in terms of percentages.
Gingrich support under 34s - 6 percent to Santorum with 9 percent. Santorum is only losing to those over 65, and even there, only to 65+ year old men.
Every other demographic, men, women, etc is breaking to Santorum over Newt.
Education wise, Newt has a slight advantage among those who are graduate students.
Santorum is getting 13 percent among those married, 5 percent among those who are unmarried.
We knew NH wouldn't go conservative but to see the 3 conservatives candidates at 11, 10 and 1 is pretty discouraging.
Of course, Perry didn't even campaign there, but Newt and Santorum did.
Go, Santorum!
Go, Gingrich!
NH and IA are both swing states. TX, UT, and WY are not. Political parties want to nominate people who can win nationally, which means winning swing states.
I am seriously considering moving to another party tonight, this is a joke. Rove says record tunrout...yeah, record number of Massholes coming across to vote for Paul, who at 24% out does his 17% polling.
They have same day or previous day registration, no pic ID required.
So Romney AGAIN had his Massachusetts Legion
cross the border to vote FOR HIM in NH.
Why does Romney get twice the time of other candidates
in debates?
Why do his Mormons and Legion of RomneyBOT get
to VOTE in two elections?
This is criminally unfair.
Perry did as well in Iowa as Newt and Rick did tonight in NH.
Should they drop out as well?
Did anyone think NH would vote differently?

Kansas' Wiggins Joins Cavaliers
NEW YORK (AP) – Andrew Wiggins went No. 1, so he got to make the first pitch.
What would he say to LeBron James about joining him in Cleveland?
"I want to win," Wiggins said. "If he wants to win, we'd be good together."
Shabazz Napier is on his way to Miami, complete with James' endorsement, so maybe he's the key to keeping James right where he is.
"I would hope so," Napier said. "He's one of the best players in the world. So if me going there helps him come back, it just betters our chances of being a complete team."
Welcome to today's NBA, where even rookies are recruiters.
Long before the draft was over, the focus was already turning toward free agency, which kicks off July 1 with James and Carmelo Anthony as the top prizes.
So when the so-called experts make their draft grades, the one that matters most might have come from James himself on Twitter, shortly after Napier was selected by the Charlotte Hornets and dealt to the Heat in a trade that won't become official until later Thursday.
"My favorite player in the draft! (hashtag) Napier," James wrote.
Others may be better in a deep draft that was loaded with young talent.
That starts with Wiggins, whom the Cavaliers took with their second straight No. 1 overall pick. They're hoping the Kansas freshman turns out better than fellow Canadian Anthony Bennett.
Thrilled to go first and even happier when Jayhawks teammate Joel Embiid went two picks later, Wiggins beamed in his black tuxedo jacket with a white floral pattern.
"A thousand thoughts are going through my head right now," Wiggins said. "It's a dream come true."
Bennett was injured last summer, came into the season out of shape and made no impact, one of the reasons the Cavs were back in this spot again.
But Wiggins seems a much more ready product after averaging a Kansas freshman-record 17.1 points. He might have ended up as the top pick anyway, but became the best option for the Cavs when Embiid suffered a stress fracture in his right foot shortly before the draft.
After making Canada the only country besides the U.S. to have consecutive No. 1 picks, Wiggins slipped on a maroon Cleveland hat, hugged his supporters and went on stage to shake hands with Commissioner Adam Silver, who was calling the first round for the first time since replacing David Stern.
Milwaukee followed with another freshman, Duke forward Jabari Parker, who some consider the more NBA-ready player after an All-American season for the Blue Devils. Playing in Milwaukee puts him near his family in Chicago.
"I'm just very optimistic," Parker said. "If it was 1, 2, put me at 60, just getting that opportunity, getting that chance of being in the NBA."
Embiid went third to Philadelphia, drawing loud cheers from the many red-and-blue dressed 76ers fans who made the trip to Barclays Center in Brooklyn, as well as from Philadelphia guard Michael Carter-Williams, last season's Rookie of the Year who was sitting on the arena floor level.
The 76ers had two top-10 picks and could afford to take a chance on Embiid, the big man who may have ended up the top prize despite his lone season at Kansas ending early because of a bad back.
But once the foot injury popped up during workouts, leaving his NBA debut uncertain after surgery, the two teams at the top passed.
"He worked so hard," Wiggins said. "He didn't let nothing get to him. He always stayed motivated. So I'm just proud. It's a proud moment for Kansas.

Rate hikes too painful
Utility rate hikes being proposed in Oak Harbor seem excessive, particularly considering the economic environment in which theyre being contemplated.
The City Council earlier this month heard a staff proposal to raise rates by 13.79 percent. In dollar terms, a typical homeowner would shell out another $14.50 a month for such basic services as water and sewer.
Part of the increase is attributed to the cost of doing business, including wage increases and higher costs for everything the city routinely purchases for the affected departments. But the bulk of it is to pay for necessary infrastructure projects to keep the water, sewer and stormwater systems functioning properly and legally.
City Council members should keep in mind that this proposed increase follows a similar increase levied last year.
Score the violin music as we point out that Social Security and military retirement benefits arent remotely keeping pace with cost of living increases. Even those residents who are still in the workforce and not on fixed incomes are having trouble keeping up with the soaring cost of food, gasoline and other utilities. Puget Sound Energy, for example, is asking for a 10 percent hike in what it charges for electricity. Unless there are bosses handing out 15 percent annual COLA increases we havent heard about, nobodys income is keeping up with inflation.
City Council members no doubt are in the same boat as other city residents, grumbling every month as new, higher, bills come due. So they should have no trouble commiserating with the average citizen in Oak Harbor.
Of course, the need for the infrastructure improvement projects isnt going away, so the City Council cant just halve the proposed increase and wait for the resulting public adulation. Rising costs have to be addressed in other ways than just rate increases.
The Mayor and City Council should first study city operations. Are they being conducted as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible? Are there money saving ideas that havent been explored, and is staffing at proper levels in all departments? Perhaps department heads should be giving cost-saving goals and required to reach them, as happens in private business during tough times.
Once savings are squeezed out of the citys own budget, look for other revenue sources. Perhaps its time to consider enhancing existing impact fees or levying new ones. Developers will cry foul, but the City Councils first duty is to the citizens of Oak Harbor, not special interests.
The citys leadership is in better shape than its been in years with an influx of talented people in recent months with vast experience in private business. Its time to put that talent to use for the people of Oak Harbor.
Turn it off
next week
Whidbey Island parents would be wise to see that their children participate in Turnoff Week April 21 to 27.
Formerly called TV Turnoff Week, the updated name is a reminder that theres plenty more to turn off these days than just the TV set. In fact, the days when kids spent hours glued to the TV seem almost quaint in retrospect. At least you could see them, and see what they were watching. Now, many kids shun the TV for the computer screen, whether it be for games, keeping track of friends, viewing interesting sites, or generally anything but doing homework. Untold hours are wasted online, or in front of the High Definition TV, chatting and texting on the cell phone, or idly spending hours going through the thousands of songs in an iPods memory.
For one week at least, kids should have to know what its like in the real world.
Fortunately, kids will find the real world anything but boring. The Oak Harbor Library, working with Island County Public Health, has a lengthy list of entertaining activities for kids, and merchants are being sought to offer discounted merchandise and services. Not that kids have to be entertained every second. Parents probably have Turnoff Week ideas of their own involving housework, homework and good old-fashioned outdoor play.
If you would like to help with the Turnoff Week effort, call Whitney Webber at Public Health, 240-5554 ext. 30. Its a worthy effort. Too bad it lasts only a week.

The Chicago Bulls have gotten off to a fairly slow start to the season at 1-1. Many analysts believed that this season would be a continuation of the last with the Bulls dominating on the defensive end while seeing their offense improve by the addition of Richard Hamilton at the shooting guard position.
"The Bulls have shored up their only weakness," several sports figures reasoned. "They are now ready to take on the Miami Heat for Eastern Conference supremacy."
But have the Bulls really closed the gap with the Heat? Are they really better than Miami at this point?
I will acknowledge that it is still early in the season and any bold proclamation about any team's chances is premature at this point. However, I can look at the first few games of the season for both teams, as well as recent NBA precedent to gauge where the Bulls currently stand in fulfilling their goal of beating the Heat in a playoff series. At the present, I would say the Heat are still the better team.
Here are eight reasons why.

Can Gnarski's debut review on Aerial Noise get any better? Well, if you make sure to re-rub Dada Life up the right way then that is always a safe bet. Beginning with an intro on 'Monsters Ball (Halloween 2012)' that has a slight reminiscent ode to Faithless' 'Insomnia' about it, the track then rolls into a pounding dinner-time meal of sliced up modelled loudness and extreme top-end electro house occurrences.
Bouncing its way into happy-smiles heaven is 'Sweet Future' continuing the piano sharpness and full-on brightness, but not before summing things up with the pitch bendy 'The Skill Pill' that retells a story of DMCA bitch-slapping and feverous arpeggio use. If ever a line has been drawn in the sand, then that time is now.
Go-LOUD! (And the war is on…)

Showcase of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, second-floor atrium, 200 Public Square. Admission is free.
Showcase will host a Victorian Christmas celebration Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, go to www.soldiersandsailors.com or call 216-621-3746.
For 104 years, Cleveland's beloved Soldiers and Sailors Monument has doubled as a crammed Civil War museum.
The Public Square fixture closed in June for interior renovations, but its leaders opened a slightly less crammed museum recently in 200 Public Square, the former BP Tower, and put many relics on display for the first time in memory.
They hope to reopen the monument next fall. But they're thinking about keeping the museum, known as the Showcase, open indefinitely in 200 Public Square, if building management permits.
The newly displayed memorabilia includes:
• A whiskey canteen found, appropriately, at Brandy Station, Va.
• A pair of sharpshooters' glasses with the left lens reversed, which forced the shooter to focus with just his right eye.
• A soldier's chessmen.
• A remnant of a shrapnel shell.
• A sword originally wielded by a sculpted soldier outside the monument.
The sword was replaced early on by a sheathed sword at the soldier's side. Neil Evans, president of the monument trustees, speculates that the change might have happened because the original was unstable, swaying and clanging in the wind.
The Showcase also displays eight historic busts at eye level that perched too high inside the monument for a good view. The busts honor local figures such as Capt. William Smith, who died of war wounds 22 years later.
Building management could not be reached for comment.
The monument is undergoing several years' worth of interior and exterior renovations, estimated to cost $1.7 million in county, state and private funds. The monument also has hired an executive director and a curator.
Among many other tasks, workers plan to remove the stained-glass windows Monday for renovations expected to take four months. They also plan to add a stronger protective layer of clear glass.
"We've had rocks thrown through the windows," Evans said.
Workers already have fixed the sandstone roof and scrubbed the outer walls. They plan to install air conditioning, add gallery lighting and replace the steam radiators with hot-water ones.
The steam seems to be bowing interior tablets that bear the names of more than 9,000 Union soldiers from Cuyahoga County. Some famous surnames, including Rockefeller and Hanna, stand beside unknowns.
A specialist will repair, clean, restain and repaint the interior's wealth of marble, restoring its once brilliant colors.
"It's going to be gorgeous," Evans said.

February 1 postgame quotes: Darryl Sutter
On the loss:
Score. Score to win. Can't win nothing-nothing.
Whether the Kings generated the chances they needed to.
Yep. It was tough. Yep.
On consistently generating shots without scoring:
I'm not getting into philosophy.
Whether the lack of scoring puts pressure on Jonathan Quick:
I don't think it puts pressure on Quick. He's going to play the same way every night. It's not about one guy.
On what the team needs to do differently:
Well, you can't get frustrated. You can't allow guys that are playing really well to get frustrated, and guys that aren't, you've got to see if they can work their way out of it. Obviously we've got a handful of guys that are really struggling with their games.
On whether he can see which players are frustrated:
Yep. [Reporter: How can you, besides giving them a backrub or something, tell them they've got to relax?] You've got to stick with 'em. You've been down it enough to know that.
On Robyn Regehr playing his 1,000th NHL game:
It's good. You know what? Robyn is probably ahead of that, actually. If you asked him, he's probably missed a couple hundred games with injuries, and with the injury that he had prior to his career, you've got to give him a lot of credit for him to continue to play that same way and be a really good role model for young players – the way he trains. It's not just the game. Obviously he's not the player that he was. That's what happens as you get older. But the role model part of it is really important. It's good for other players, especially young players, to see that.
On facing the Blackhawks, and whether it's good for the team to play a rivalry game:
Yep. We'll think about Chicago tomorrow.

"Extraordinary speculative activity" in the US, as described by a Federal Reserve official, appears to be helping stocks climb back from losses, even as worries about Japan, the Middle East and the eurozone still weigh heavily, reports the FT's global market overview. The global benchmark FTSE All-World index up fractionally, while the S&P 500 on Wall Street fought to a 0.3 per cent gain. The market opened lower on news that US home sales fell to a record low in February. Oil prices were mixed, with unrest continuing in Syria and Yemen not quite able to help Brent crude extend its rally further. Brent crude was down 0.2 per cent at $115.45 a barrel and the Nymex May contract up 1.7 per cent at $105.50. Gold was up 0.7 per cent at $1,437 an ounce, just a few dollars off its record, while silver was $37.33 an ounce, a fresh 31-year high. Currency traders sold the euro – pushing to just above the $1.41 mark – after a crucial vote on Portugal's austerity package, which saw the parliament reject the measure. The yen was inching higher again following last week's intervention by G7 central banks to weaken it. The Japanese unit was up 0.1 per cent to Y80.89 relative to the dollar.

A Roman widow of the sixth century; feast, 5 October. According to St. Gregory the Great (Dial. IV, ch. xiii) she was the daughter of the younger Symmachus, a learned and virtuous patrician of Rome, whom Theodoric had unjustly condemned to death (525). Becoming a widow before the end of the first year of her married life, she, still very young, founded a convent and hospital near St. Peter's, there spent the remainder of her days in austerities and works of mercy, and ended her life with an edifying death. The letter of St. Fulgentius of Ruspe, "De statu viduarum", is supposed to have been addressed to her. Her church in Rome, near the Piazza Montanara, once held a picture of Our Lady, which according to tradition represents a vision vouchsafed to St. Galla. It is considered miraculous and was carried in procession in times of pestilence. It is now over the high altar of Santa Maria in Campitelli.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

What could I say? I mean, there would be chefs from about 25 restaurants cooking gumbo. Rice, eaten by itself, might be the lone item that wasn't spicy.
And, of course, spicy ruled as people showed up as early as 2 p.m. for the Gumbo Cook-off, which was scheduled for 3 to 7 p.m. at Louie's Trophy House Grill, 440 E. North. St. By 3 p.m., cars lined streets and fields that were in a two-block radius of the restaurant. When it was over, Mangia Mangia had won People's Choice vote for best gumbo at the cook-off, a fundraiser for Ministry with Community.
James Watkins, of Kalamazoo, who was hospitalized several weeks ago for high blood pressure and an irregular heart beat and put on a diet of no spicy and fattening foods, couldn't keep himself away. He volunteered to clean up and had several bowls of gumbo in the process.
"I only had five bowls," Watkins said. "I couldn't eat anymore.
Danielle Joseph, who lives in Kalamazoo but is originally from Baton Rouge, La., likes how the Gumbo Cook-off is in Mardi Grass season. "Every year I look forward to it," she said. "It's my taste of home."
It was tough to get a seat inside the big white tent set up next to Louie's for the event. It was elbow to elbow for hours as people balanced four or five small containers of gumbo on a plate in one hand and a bottle of beer or other beverage in the other. It was held in a white tent set up beside Louie's.
Kelly Robey, director of catering at the Radisson Plaza Hotel & Suites, got a great surprise days before the cook-off — a 60-pound shipment of live crawfish from Louisiana, arranged by a friend. He served the crawfish boiled with etouffee on the side.
Many of the gumbos were creative. Bennucci's gumbo included chicken, sausage, shrimp and alligator meatballs. Cafe 237 in Paw Paw had gumbo with homemade andouille sausage, shrimp, chicken and prime rib.
"This is crazy," said Cafe 237 chef Bill Sutcliffe, who ran out of gumbo at around 4:30 p.m. "Remember when there was just 10 chefs here a couple of years ago? I never have to take gumbo home. That has to be a good thing."
Some restaurants served sandwiches instead of gumbo to try something new. Martell's offered mini-brioch buns made with roasted garlic and filled with fried alligator rolled in cornmeal, horseradish Cole slaw, and Cajun remoulade.
Bravo! Served a sandwich filled with homemade sausage made with chicken, pork and chorizo with crawfish etouffee for sauce. It was topped with a small bit of fried okra on a cocktail spear.
"Gumbo in a bun, brother," said Shawn Hagen, co-owner of Bravo!

Allison Carmen, Material Mix founder and CEO, spent six months in South America after winning Start-Up Chile.
The UpTake: Start-Up Chile has secured itself a spot in the top tier of foreign programs encouraging outside entrepreneurs to come and develop a business. The experience was golden for St. Louis entrepreneur Allison Carmen.
Talk a bit more about Female Entrepreneurs of the World?
This happened organically through spending time with other female founders, and our discussions of business and some of the more nuanced challenges women face as business owners. We realized that as a truly global group of founders, we had a unique opportunity to share our experiences and collaborate in a way that has never been done before. The core offering of FEW is an open-source blog on gender equality in business (written by our members), and additional content curated by female entrepreneurs for all startups. I am a principal member of this organization, and editor of the blog. I would like to invite all entrepreners (both male and female) to contribute to our content. You can reach us at email@example.com.
How do the batch of startup companies in Chile compare with those in the U.S.? Do they face the same challenges? And if so, what are those?
Many of the companies in Start-Up Chile are early-stage, and use the investment capital to complete their proof of concept or MVP. Many of the startups here in St. Louis are a bit further along with validation and sales, but I think we all face the same challenges. One challenge I have observed is forming strategic partnership formation with corporate clients. The Start-Up Chile program has great success with providing introductions between locally-based F-500 sized companies and startups with value-adding technology. This is a concept that I am confident St. Louis could provide early stage companies. Our city offers a perfect balance of large successful corporations that can serve as a first key strategic client, nonprofit plus municipal groups seeking innovation, and universities with extensive alumni networks. Moreover, St. Louis has an engrained culture of collaboration and resourcefulness. These types of partnerships will give St. Louis-based entrepreneurs a competitive edge and build strong bonds to help them grow their ogranizations locally.

Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
Elmbrook School Board candidates weigh in on 4K
Last week, the article K4 back on the table in Elmbrook on Brookfieldnow caused quite a stir. The way it was written, it led people to believe that 2 board members who previously voted against 4K were now thinking about it. The article was heavy on the positive effects of 4K on the school budget without much detail regarding the negatives to the taxpayer.
Newspaper reporters frequently misquote or misreport--not necessarily maliciously but because they just don't get the nuance of the situation. The remedy is a correction. Unfortunately, most people who read the original article never see the correction. When an election is just 2 weeks away, a misleading article can be damaging.
When I read the article, I thought the statement regarding Meg Wartman and Glen Allgaier's position did not ring true. So I emailed them and the remaining school board candidates so they could clarify their positions. Meg and Glen's explanations regarding the meeting and revisiting 4K will be at the bottom of this posting.
Here are the candidates' responses to my 2 questions, just as they were sent to me. (I did break up some of the longer responses for easier web reading.): Are you for 4K? Would you vote for 4K as a way to increase Elmbrook's budget revenue knowing it costs the Elmbrook taxpayer more?
I will start with the At Large board position.
Meg Wartman:
This first response was from my Feb 15th question to her regarding a private pay parent funded 4K program:
"As far as 4K, I would not support any 4K program that was funded using taxpayer dollars. My expectation would be that the parent would pay the entire tuition amount.
Here is her most recent response to state her position since the article:
"I have not changed from my past position of the program. I do not believe we should to ask taxpayers to fund a four year old kindergarten program. If by future consideration the District is willing to look at some sort of option that would allow for a private pay 4K program that could be offered at district buildings then I would be willing to revisit the issue. However, that discussion would need to occur within a context of our long range financial plan and future facility use.
Charles Wickens:
" Regarding 4K - My position is crystal clear with this. I do not support any tax base increase for 4K. Also, we do need effective leaderhip to address the issue. In the face of declining student enrollment and a 10M budget deficit - we as a distict are turning way about 350 family's per year ( assuming about 350 enrollments at 5k/year) with no options. I propose that we provide an option to those families that need 4K services by providing leaderhship/curriculum, perhaps space to a private provider - resulting in a pass-through cost, allows the district to capture the family and student with content that will prepare the student for an Elmbrook 5K slot and lastly but not leastly - address this growing need for young working families.
I did ask for a little clarification. "Could you define 'I do not support any tax base increase for 4K'?
There is state aid, fed. aid, and Elmbrook property taxes. The district
has looked longingly at the additional 4K state aid dollars
disregarding the increase to the community member's property tax bills."
"Regarding my approach vs yours ...would love the discussion - possibly come up with a hybrid plan that would actually meet our communities needs. We can't continually stick our heads in the sand and pretent that this will go away. I want to bring clarity to this issue which has been lacking in past discussions.
"To be clear - our programs need to compete at the 5K - 12th grade level. I do not support an increase to the community member property tax bill to support a 4K program.
"The state is totally confused with the 4k issue -- i.e. funding and aid etc. Again - lack of clarity. The state needs a best practice to feed from...Elmbrook could provide this.
"Our state leaderhsip has failed young working families too long -- time for Elmbrook to provide the leadership and roadmap to the state by addressing this issue without imposing a tax burden to the community.
In another email from Wickens yesterday:
"1) I believe that Elmbrook should compete at the 5k-12th grade level
"2) I do not support a property tax based 4k program - i.e. no tax burden
"3) I do believe we need to address the issue. We have approximately 350 children come into our 5K programs annually. Today, we don't have any option for those families (as many as 350) for 4K. I believe that this is unacceptable. I support an option that will allow parents to enroll in a private 4k program that has Elmbrook approved curriculum, leadership in terms of delivery and performance criteria. Those parents would engage in these Elmbrook 4K approved programs and pay for them as a direct payment. This would give our parents an option and prepare their child nicely for an Elmbrook 5K program. Win/Win.
The Area 4 position.
Jean Lambert:
"I am happy to provide you with my position on 4K."Since the Elmbrook School District 4K pilot program a number of years ago, I have been opposed to taxpayer-funded preschool. I firmly believe that the School Board and Administration are stewards of the finite pool of district resources. We must assure that these resources are dedicated to optimal student learning. Research shows the educational benefits of 4K accrue to disadvantaged children - very few live within our district; the main advantage cited for 4K in the suburbs is that of socialization. Many 4 year olds in the district - including my own - have been socialized in private 4K programs, at the family's expense."With the many revenue challenges that face us in the coming years, I believe it is unconscionable to impose yet another tax increase on the citizens of this community for programming that will deliver socialization benefits that should rightfully be funded by the families of preschool children. Some argue that children who begin 4K in a private/parochial setting never return to the public school setting. However, I'm told that the Elmbrook School District ratio of public/private enrollment has maintained at a steady rate of approximately 70/30%, in spite of the lack of availability of publicly funded 4K."Some advocate 4K as a solution to declining enrollment: add ~300 more students via 4K, fill up the empty classrooms, and add significant revenue to the budget. They're forgetting that those revenues are a direct result of increased taxation at both the state and local level. Whether it's state or local taxation, taxpayers are funding preschool."I do wholeheartedly support partnerships between the district and local private preschool programs, with Elmbrook School District collaborating on the curriculum to ensure a smooth transition to the 5K program offered by the District. Tuition for this 4K option would be privately funded by families participating in the program.
Donald Moore:
"I haven't made up my mind regarding 4K and I am still open to arguments. Not having been involved in the initial board decisions much of the information I've received in the past two months has been piecemeal and not authoritative. I understand the arguments for both sides of the issue. When 4K comes up again I will closely examine both sides and make my decision on what I think is best for our young students and the community."
Now for the clarification on what occured at the school board meeting. First from Meg Wartman:
"I appreciate your following up and verifying the statement. I made no comment on revisiting 4K other than to state that it was too late in the year to look at offering 4K in 2009 - 2010 (something Mr. Ziegler had hoped the district would take a look at) and facilitate the discussion. If the BrookfieldNow reporter felt there was an openness to a 4K discussion I believe it was to allow simply for that, a discussion. I think it is important to explain that board protocol would allow any board member to ask that an item be on a future agenda for discussion.
"I did not interpret Glen's comments to be pro 4K. I believe he directly stated that he held the same reservations about the program that he had held when the board voted in 2007. Overall there was a certain politeness in listening to a fellow board member's concern and willingness to allow the board member his 'day in court'.
"Mr. Ziegler was certainly more direct in his comments and was clearly asking the board to consider reinstating 4K as soon as possible.
Her comments did ring true to what I have heard each board member express in the past. She sent this additional email after she watched the cable broadcast:
"I still cannot understand how the BrookfieldNow reporter interpreted any of my comments to be pro-4K or even showing any interest in pursuing the program further. The board members that spoke in response to Mr. Ziegler's request clearly indicated that they did not feel their positions had changed. However, as I mentioned earlier, Mr. Ziegler made a formal request that 4K be a topic of discussion at a future board meeting and such requests have always been honored by the board.
And lastly, board member Glen Allgaier's stance on 4K (He is not running for the board at this time, but was misrepresented in the article):
"I do not support 4K because (a) It offers no clear educational benefits and (b) the cost would require increased property taxes. There are some members of the Board who still would like to see 4K and who felt that, given our financial needs, we should consider all options. I would anticipate such a discussion will only increase public awareness regarding the 4K issues and why the Board voted to not continue it.
Brookfieldnow did post an update on that K4 article:
Board member Meg Wartman said the program could not be implemented so quickly. In a later statement, she said she believes the board is still opposed to K4, though some members may be willing to discuss the issue.
"I am not supportive of revisiting 4K at this time," she said.
So there you have it--the ins and outs of who is for 4K and who is not. I hope this shed some light on this very important issue. Remember, while 4K would increase the dollar amount the school district had at their disposal, it does it at taxpayer expense! It also will eventually lead to more building referendums to increase the size of the elementary schools. I am glad some of the candidates understand the ramifications of 4K's impact on Elmbrook resident's property tax bills!
The election is Tuesday, April 7th. We not only vote for 2 candidates for school board, but also for Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction and Supreme Court Justice. Elm Grove residents vote for 3 Village Trustees.
UPDATE: Rose Fernandez will be interviewed on WVCY TV 30 tonight at 7:30pm.

The Clear Lake girls golf team captured the North Central Conference dual meet title and recorded a big non-conference win over last year's 3A State Champion Charles City.
CL 174, Garrigan 180
Clear Lake topped Bishop Garrigan 174-180 in a North Central Conference dual meet played Monday, April 23, at Veterans Memorial Golf Course in Clear Lake.
Meg Monson led the Lions with a 39. She was followed by Taylor Berger (44), Malorie Fischels (45) and Paige Backhaus (46). Lexi Lovik carded a 48, as did Megan Loux.
Also golfing for the Lions was Maddie Hess (51), Emily Monson (53) and Hailey Horner (57).
"The Garrigan girls and the Clear Lake girls have been dominating the North Central Conference for the past 10 years or so. We showed good team depth last night. It was nice to see Taylor Berger come in with a 44 after a rough start," said Coach Fred Wieck.
Coach Wieck said the Lions played very well as a team on Tuesday, April 24, and the result was one of the lowest team scores from a Clear Lake team in quite a while. The Lions finished at 170, some 38 strokes better than runner-up Hampton-Dumont (208) and 51 better than Eagle Grove (221). The triangular was played at Veterans Memorial Golf Course.
Clear Lake's junior varsity team also set a new school record with a 193.
"We had 10 girls shoot under 50 on Tuesday which is a first in my 23 years as coach," said Coach Wieck. "Malorie Fischels shot her best competitive round and was the medalist with a 40."
Also helping the Lions to the winning score was Meg Monson with 41, Taylor Berger with a 43 and Lexi Lovik's 46.
Also scoring under 50 for the Lions was Paige Backhaus, Megan Loux, Emily Monson, Annie Snyder and Hailey Horner, all with 48s. Libby Hewitt carded a 49 for the Lions.

Verse 1
There's a lot of pain but a lot more healing
There's a lot of trouble but a lot more peace
There's a lot of hate but a lot more loving
There's a lot of sin but a lot more grace
Oh outrageous grace oh outrageous grace
Love unfurled by heaven's hand
Oh outrageous grace oh outrageous grace
Through my Jesus I can stand
Verse 2
There's a lot of fear but a lot more freedom
There's a lot of darkness but a lot more light
There's a lot of cloud but a lot more vision
There's a lot of perishing but a lot more life
There's an enemy
That seeks to kill what it can't control
It twists and turns
Making mountains out of molehills
But I will call on my Lord
Who is worthy of praise
I run to Him and I am saved

Fulton Co. Schools May Require 90-Day Probationary Period for New Teachers
The Fulton County school district is considering a proposal that would require new hires to agree to a 90-day probationary period. That means the district could let those teachers go in that timeframe even though they have a contract.
Fulton County hires 800 new teachers a year. District superintendent Robert Avossa says a small percentage of them are bad hires. But, he says, it's important to weed them out early.
"The fact that we'd have to leave a low-performing teacher who's negatively impacting outcomes for kids in the classroom for a full year before we could really address the issue is why we knew we had to make a bold move in this direction," he says.
Tim Callahan, a spokesperson for the Professional Association of Georgia Educators, says the district will need to exercise the policy carefully.
"No one wants to linger and linger and linger, certainly not," Callahan says, "That's not good for kids. But on the other hand, we have to be careful we're not making snap decisions that are harmful both to students and teachers and put us at a disadvantage when it comes to recruitment."
Avossa says he doesn't think the policy will affect recruitment. The board is expected to vote on the proposal in April. If approved, it will apply to new hires for the upcoming school year.

The body of U.S. Army Cpl. Jason Thomas Lee was returned to his hometown this morning in preparation for his funeral Wednesday.
Lee, 26, was killed Nov. 18 in Baqubah, Iraq. He was one of three soldiers from the same unit killed when an improvised-explosive device detonated during a patrol.
Clusters of people lined up along the fence at Muskegon County Airport as the plane bringing Lee's body landed around 9 a.m. and taxied to a hangar where the coffin was loaded into a waiting hearse. Family members, officials and a veterans group gathered on the tarmac.
Firetrucks and sheriff's cruisers then led a procession that carried the body from the airport to Sytsema Funeral Home's Lee Chapel, 6291 S. Harvey in Norton Shores.
Public visitation will be 2-8 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home. His family, which includes his parents, Thomas and Susan Lee of Fruitport, wife Lisa, and brothers Sean Robert and Robert Edward Lee of Fruitport, will be at the visitation from 6 to 8 p.m.
The funeral will be 11 a.m. Wednesday at Calvary Church, 5873 E. Kendra in Fruitport, and will include full military honors.
Kerrie Boone of Norton Shores brought her 4-year-old son, Keldon, to the airport to watch the procession.
"I didn't know him, but when I saw in the paper he was coming, I wanted to show support for the family," Boone said. "So many people are not supportive."
A group of airport workers holding flags also gathered outside the airport to pay their respects. They included Mike Austgen of New Era, Josie Rose of Norton Shores and Chanel Lardie of Muskegon Heights.
"They deserve to come home to a hero's welcome," Rose said.
That feeling was echoed by a Vietnam veteran who would give his name only as Mike. He said he didn't receive a hero's welcome when he returned from war in 1969, but that he wants to be sure today's soldiers are remembered.
Lee was the 13th serviceman with West Michigan ties to die in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The St. Bernard Parish water treatment plant was shut down this morning after scores of residents called to complain about foul-smelling water.
"We don't believe there is anything harmful in the water, but we shut down the intake system so we can run some tests to see what's causing the problem," said Dave Peralta, the parish's chief administrative officer.
Residents began calling about 10 a.m. to complain that their tap water had a diesel-like smell, Peralta said.
He said the parish has plenty of treated water in the system.
"No one will see an interruption in their water service because of this," he said.

My trials and tribulations with losing weight, running and being a Mom and Wife.
Sunday, September 18, 2011
Tommie Copper Review from me and the husband!
First up the ankle sleeves:
" Awesome. I never felt like I was wearing compression gear and my calves were feeling better by the end of the day of a long run. I also wore them to work the next day and nobody knew the difference since they are so thin."
Now I choose the ankle sleeve and compression shirt for myself because I knew after the RnR Chicago Half Marathon I was going to be hurting.
My husband found my ankle sleeve after a trail run recently and loved them. He kept asking me where the other part of the set was because I was only using the left one for the demon left foot. I honestly couldn't remember what I did with it but we eventually found it and he was happy as can be. He said if we hadn't found it he would have ordered another set for himself. * Kinda sad that we both can wear the same size ankle sleeve, no?
What I wore to bed that night of the RnR Chicago Half was the compression t shirt. I don't have a pic of me wearing the shirt because I look really boob`a`licious in it. It's very form fitting. But not so much were I felt I was suffocating or uncomfortable all night. I was able to sleep well with it. During the RnR Chicago Half towards the end of "my" race I started to have some back pain that crept back into my life. I had not had any reoccurring pain since before I threw out my back in late 2009. I dreaded the feel of my back at the end of the half that day. I thought I was going to being to do that dark place again. I was dreading waking up because I thought I was going to be stiff. Instead I woke up feeling really good! The pain I normally experience between my shoulders blades had subsided and I felt no lower back pain.
From Tommie Copper's website about the healing effects of copper:
"Copper has been used in medicine for thousands of years, one of the world's oldest medical texts, the Ebers Papyrus states, "Treat inflammation with pulverized copper". Copper also stimulates the immune system to fight infections, to repair injured tissues, and to promote healing. Copper has been shown to neutralize "free-radicals" which can cause severe damage to cells. Symptoms of copper deficiency include osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis."
I think this is a really good product to wear after some long run's where you a little bit achey. These are things you can wear under normal clothes and not produce extra bulk. Do I think they have a true compression feel that most "compression" socks or sleeves have? No. These were not uncomfortable at all. But they have something others don't have and that is the copper. IMO, you have to try it to see if the copper will make a difference in your opinion on healing.
A few of the things I noticed is that the products were very well made. They can be regularly washed but you can not use a dryer sheet with them because it takes away some of the affects of the copper. Which when stuff was just thrown together in the dryer I had to remember that promptly. The company also has super duper fast delivery! I was very surprised. I practically had them within 48 hours of telling my contact Jordan what we would try out. Which is really good IMO. The price for the products was reasonable compared to other compression sleeves, gear.
So the next time you are at an expo or a running store and you see some Tommie Copper gear on display I highly suggest checking them out if you are looking for a healing product that would not cut off the circulation to legs or feet and has a bit of a healing effect to them. The Tommie Copper brand would be right up your alley!

Thanks for the review I have been looking at the ankle one since I rolled my ankle last Thursday. I think I am going to have to order one for my ankle as the I did pick up a compression brace locally but its a bit bulky.ReplyDelete
I could really use the ones your husband tried for my calves and let me know if they have one for my butt.. I could wear that everyday to keep it in place and after my recent sprinting on a treadmill, that is the muscle that aches the most. :-)ReplyDelete
This is so funny. I've seen so many Tommie Copper reviews and they're all good. I really didn't think they worked. Glad they worked for you though!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the review. I really would love to win some compression sleeves. I hear so much about them. I should just buy some but they are pricey. I just keep on trying to win some. Glad you are getting better.ReplyDelete
This is a great review, I have heard about the benefits from copper to help heal aches and pains but have never seen a product you can wear with it in it. Very cool! One day I must get on the compression bandwagon....I guess I'm so old school.ReplyDelete
I keep hearing about these - I'm curious :)ReplyDelete
You've been awfully quiet - hope you and the family are doing well...

28a U.S. Code Appendix -
prev | next
Excerpts from the Report of the Judicial Conference—Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure—September 2006
The Illustrative Forms
The advisory committee submitted proposed revisions to Illustrative Forms 1 through 35 (to become Forms 1 through 82) contained in the Appendix of Forms to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure with a recommendation that they be approved and transmitted to the Judicial Conference. * * *
The Illustrative Forms have not been revised or updated in many years. The advisory committee applied the same style conventions and principles to the forms as was used with the restyled rules. It declined to make changes to the substance of the forms, consistent with its style-project policy, even though some of the forms represent approaches to pleading and other submissions that may not be consistent with current practices. For example, the "complaint" forms call for allegations that are far briefer than are commonly found in cases filed in the district courts. Similarly, the advisory committee did not change the choice of examples in the forms; the "negligence complaint" form continues to use the example of an automobile striking a pedestrian.
The forms have been reorganized and grouped by subject area. The revised forms place "special" forms as Forms 1–9; "complaint" forms as Forms 10–21,[;] "answer" forms as Forms 31–31 [sic]; "motions" forms as Forms 40–42; "discovery" forms as Forms 50–52; "condemnation" forms as Forms 60–61; "judgment" forms as Forms 70–71; and forms for "assignment to magistrate judges" as Forms 80–82.
The pleading dates in the forms were eliminated and a uniform blank date was substituted. Explanatory Notes were also eliminated, because the forms are intended to stand on their own as simple and brief illustrations.Form 1 28Af1.eps Form 2 28Af2.eps Form 3 28Af3.eps (As amended Mar. 26, 2009, eff.

Good article about Guillermo Diaz. He probably should have come out after his sophomore year at Miami but good to see that he doesn't have an ego.
Thanks!! I enjoyed reading it.
Yeah thanks Clips08. Guillermo is having a so-so summer league so far, but he still has two games left to show his skills. Hopefully he will try and attack the basket and take advantage of that outrageous vertical leap of his more.

Tom Brady is predicting the New York Giants will win the Super Bowl.
He's also battling a severely sprained ankle.
Thomas A. Brady of Stapleton, that is.
And the 56-year-old Big Blue aficionado is showing absolutely no loyalty to the New England Patriots quarterback with whom he shares a name — emphatically rooting against his more famous and athletic, not to mention richer, counterpart ahead of Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday.
"It's good he's got an attractive woman in his corner praying for him Sunday, because he's going to need it," Staten Island's Brady said, referring to the future Hall of Fame signal caller's supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen.
At 5-foot, 5-inches tall, 130 pounds and badly hobbled by a recent leg injury, Brady doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to New England's favorite son.
The glory days of his youth were spent in the marching band, not on the gridiron.
One of his passes was picked off by an Advance photographer during a casual scrimmage. Another ricocheted off a light stand.
But if misguided fans give him a hard time ahead of the big game, it seldom lasts long once they see he bleeds blue and red.
"Only until they find out who I'm rooting for," he said.
The irony of the situation isn't lost on Brady, a Giants fan since childhood.
"Tom, the name itself, has a lot of derogatory terms. Peeping Tom, Uncle Tom," he explained.
But despite the fact that he signs his checks the same way as the man who is currently Public Enemy No. 1 in the sports capital of the world, his mother had the best of intentions.
After all, he was named after Baron Thomas Brady, a distinguished and battle-tested field marshal in the service of Austria.
"I've always been a Doubting Thomas, particularly when it comes to sports," he said. "You just never know."
But when the conversation shifts to the Super Bowl, any doubts our Tom Brady has about his team subside.
Giants 28, Patriots, 24, he says.

TUALATIN -- Prolonging urban renewal in central Tualatin is officially, resoundingly and unequivocally dead.
The Tualatin City Council voted 6-0 Monday night against a $120 million extension and dismissed notions of a smaller plan of up to $18.3 million. That means the city's 35-year-old Central Urban Renewal District will expire June 30, returning upwards of $2 million annually in property tax revenues back to various government agencies that serve the area.
City leaders' decision to not pursue the $120 million extension, in many respects, already had been made -- and made for them. A new state law requires significant agreement from tax partners affected by urban renewal, and Tualatin never garnered enough support from the likes of Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue or Washington County.
Officials on Monday considered whether to pursue a cheaper extension that, under law, would not require sign-off from other government agencies. Calculations by the city suggested debt for redevelopment projects could be increased by $18.3 million. But the fire district thought the number should be closer to about $7.5 million.
Knowing the lower figure would pay only for a project or two, and the larger could result in a legal fight, city councilors found neither option appealing."It's just not worth it," Tualatin Mayor Lou Ogden said Tuesday.
The vote ends a frantic 12-week span that began Feb. 4, when Tualatin officials first publicized their list of redevelopment projects as part of the $120 million proposal. At the time, leaders said they hoped to have the plan approved by the end of March, but almost immediately fire officials voted against the effort.
That dissent prompted mediation efforts by members of the Washington County Board of Commissioners, which held the decisive urban renewal vote. The board never took action, and Tualatin extended its deadline to May.
In the meantime, public unrest over a proposed bridge through Tualatin Community Park grew. An inflammatory e-mail Ogden wrote about fire officials became public. And time to gather opinions on the cheaper plan all but ran out.
"The most important thing for us, as a council and as a staff, is to debrief the process and determine what went wrong and learn from it moving forward," City Councilor Donna Maddux said. "And I'd like to see us do that soon."
Although the city's central district will expire June 30, officials in the future could consider forming a new urban renewal area.
"I don't think there's any plans to do that right now," City Councilor Joelle Davis said with a chuckle. "People are kind of glad this one's over with."

GULF COAST BEACHES-- The National Weather Service has been in contact with lifeguards from each end of the Gulf Coast and the message is the same: rip currents are a big danger today.
The high risk warning will last through Friday. Officials have spotted rip currents near sandbars, piers and jetties.
Red flags are on display which indicate danger, but until double red flags fly it isn't illegal to get into the water.
If someone does choose to venture out into the Gulf, NWS made a series of videos to educate people on how to survive rip currents.
Quick tips:
Swim parallel to the shore
Don't fight the current
Check out the videos to learn more and share with anyone you know that's at the beach for spring break.

Sandra Mason
Extension Educator, Horticulture
I'm convinced that how people view weeds is a good indicator of how they view life. The yardstick for waging war on weeds ranges between "I can hear the creeping Charlie growing" to "Weed? What weed?" or "I'm sure I have a recipe for lambs quarter salad here some where". Forget "what's your zodiac sign?" Next time try "How do you feel about dandelions?"
Some weeds are more than just a "plant out of place" and deserve everyone's scorn. Weeds can degrade natural areas and take over home landscapes to produce a one-plant show. Garlic mustard, Alliaria petiolata, has been the scourge of forested areas for years.
Over the last couple years I have noticed garlic mustard is also infiltrating home landscapes. Garlic mustard is native to Europe where it hangs out in hedgerows, fencerows and open canopy woods. Here in the Midwest it loves the partial shade of our deciduous forests where it can literally blanket the ground.
Garlic mustard is visible now as a rosette (bouquet) of kidney bean shaped leaves. Leaves resemble violets, however, the leaves of garlic mustard have more pronounced veins, are more deeply scalloped, are darker green and except in late fall and winter have a distinct smell of garlic.
As a cool season biennial, garlic mustard seeds germinate in early spring to form the cluster of leaves. Leaves stay green well into December. The next season the mature plant sends up a 2.5 – 3 foot tall flower stalk with numerous small white flowers. It then sets seed and the original plant dies. One plant can produce almost 300 seeds. Just one year of seed production can produce a reoccurring nightmare of too much garlic.
Because of its ability to dominate relatively undisturbed forests it has lead to the decline of populations of native plants and the insects and animals that rely on them. Not only does garlic mustard shade out other plants, but it also produces chemicals that can keep other plants from growing around it. It's definitely a bully biennial.
Garlic mustard was once popular as a food plant especially since it is green in early spring and fall when most other plants are dozing. It is also reportedly high in Vitamin A and C. Presently it's shown up on the menus in fancy restaurants.
As with most exotic invasive weeds garlic mustard has no natural control here, even deer won't eat it. Research continues on finding a biological control.
So what can you do to halt the spread of garlic mustard?
Control garlic mustard in your garden or woodland now before it sets seed next spring.
If you can't beat them then eat them. Here are some garlic mustard recipes provided as a service by the Mid Atlantic Exotic Plant Pest Council http://www.ma-eppc.org/weedrecipes.html. Bon appetit!

Gwalior to Khajuraho
Trip Start Mar 06, 2005
54Trip End ??? ??, 2006
We changed our itinerary from the original plan and decided to head towards Khajuraho only stopping breifly in Gwalior on the way, rather than spending the night. We are now travelling in the province of Madhya Pradesh Indias geographical heartland. It has poor infratstucture, suffers from drought, but has the highest percentage of forest in India, and is a great place to drive through.... and the heat is just as seering!
Our journey to Gwalior was less than straight forward as we are again in territory that Happy has not driven in before, and frustratingly although we can see the fort standing proudly ontop of a massive hill right in front of us...we can't find the road that leads up to it
Gwalior is in a great location a few hours from Agra . The ramshackle town spreads out from the foot of the 100 M high hill on top of which the fort is perched. The fort encloses the entire top of the hill with 10 meter high walls built on the edge of sheer cliffs over a distance of 3KM. There are numerous rock paintings and Jain sculptures adorning the cliffside as you drive up the winding road to the summit. Several Jain temples and a palace are to be found inside the fort itself, whos colourful history stretches back over 1,000 years.
The views from the ramparts over the flat plains below are magnificent and Gwalior is worth a visit just for this. We visited the Mahn Singh Palace a great looking structure with blue painted panels containing elephants and peacocks on its outer walls. There is a nearby Jain temple dating from the 11th century and we spent an interesting couple of hoirs wandering around.
Also ontop of the hill is a modern Sikkh temple which we were invited to visit by Happy...we were given the 'full tour' with explanations galore, about every aspect of the temple and its significance, we were offered a free meal but declined as time was pressing and we needed to move on if we were going to reach Khajuraho before dark
and watched 'the farce' unfold...45 mins later we were on our way again, but there was now no way we would reach our destination before dark. I wasn't looking forward to travelling any distance on the roads at night. Especially the stretch from Agra towards Jhansi (on the way to Khajuraho) which has a reputation for modern day Banditry, cars have been stopped and their passengers robbed and even shot! A prospect we didnt fancy.
The drive to Khajuraho was fantastic as the afternoon wore on we passed over bridges spanning massive rivers through a selection of weird and wonderful countryside one minute dry barron lunar lanscapes the next tree lined lanes surrounded by hills reminiscent of an 'arrid france'. The road towards Khajuraho was designated as a 'National Highway' but was in reality no more than a single track part-made road, which was in the process of being widened
As the evening light softened it produced the most magical glow, creating a wonderful atmosphere, local farmers were making their way back home on foot carrying their implements or riding in a mixture of transport ranging from donkey to Ox carts. Loaded down with animal feed and produce of every description piled high. They trundled their way along our path in 'dribs and drabs' like Bucolic refugees, as we passed small hamlets and single farms dotted at the roadside. This is a remote area of India and there is no sizeable population centre for hundreds of miles, and it felt like it. We were literally in the middle of knowhere!
Its not the best place to have an accident so we were lucky (again) to narrowly miss a head-on collision (in the dark) with a large cow who suddenly lurched infront of us, we jammed on the brakes and swerved into a roadside field,... our hearts pounding, all we could see in the darkness was the resultant beige cloud of dust surrounding us, illuminated by our headlights. We 'laughed it off' pulled back onto the road and continued on our way.... a little more cautiously!
We eventually arrived at our hotel (the only guests ..again) after a 13 and 1/2 hour drive, very tired but excited about seeing the temples tomorrow.
The Jain temple complex in Khajuraho boasts some of the finest temple art in the world and exactly how and why they were constructed here remains a mystery
All of the temples were built within 100 year period from around 950AD. Their size and complexity of construction are marvellous. The Stone carving famously depicts erotic images and scenes from Indian life over a millenium ago. Their remote location is probably responsible for their longevity, as they avoided the later Muslim onslought when many temples across India were all but destroyed.
The main group of temples stand in a modern day park with flower borders and lawns others are dotted about near the town itself about 1KM away. They are all incredible and yet another 'highlight of India'.
The day we visited was almost unbearably hot just standing out of the shade for a few mins left you drenched in sweat, even Happy complained about the heat and was forced to retire to some shade while we toured the site. It is difficult to to the temples justice and the phrase "a picture paints a thousand words" is true, so.. view our photos.
The town itself is small and we quickly walked round it stopping briefly to watch some women washing in the giant lotus pond set on the edge of the town...an impressive sight, a sea of green leaves floating on even greener water
That evening we visited an impromtu market set up on a nearby clearing, hundreds of people turned out to walk the lines of goods set out on the floor and simple tables. Most of the Veg we couldn't recognise so much so that it looked 'fake' it was so alien in apperance. The meat looked all too real with bits of animal carcass layed out everywhere, covered in dust and flies....yummy.
So far in India I had managd to stick to vegitarian food (a wise choice) although Jane cracked and had started to eat the occasional chicken curry. If you ever visit india do not eat the 'western food' ie Pizza, Pasta etc which is generally revolting and bears little or no resemblance to what you would expect. However after nearly a month of 'Curry' I was getting ready to try anything for a change! (more on food later).
Next stop is Orchha and Jhansi, and a pleasant surprise! post again soon Aubrey and Jane.

Freeholder Will Mennen is running for re-election, he announced today, Wednesday. And he wants the Republican party County Committee to hold a convention to select his running mate.
There's a vacancy because Freeholder George Melick, in his 36th year in office, announced last month that he will not seek another term. Already, at least nine people have expressed interest in the seat, according to a longtime party insider.
They include John E. Lanza and Suzanne Lagay, who on Feb. 13 launched their campaign for the two vacancies. They announced their interest even before Melick and Mennen announced their intentions.
Also seeking the GOP nomination to be a freeholder is Clinton Township Councilman Harmen Vos.
In his announcement, Mennen said, "I am excited about joining my fellow Republican incumbents in running for reelection.
"As to the open seat created by the announced retirement of my running mate George Melick, I have made clear to Republican leaders my desire that as a party we should cast the widest possible net in finding qualified candidates. It is for that reason that I have asked party leaders to convene a convention of the full County Committee to select a candidate to fill the spot on the incumbents' line left open by George's retirement."
